Joël Scherk (1946-1980) In memoriam Joël Scherk Joël Scherk died on May 16, 1980. Although 33 years old, he had made many very important discoveries in dual string theory and supergravity, as will be manifest in this review. It is striking to note how logical and sustained the development of his thinking was. His first important contribution was the renormalization of the one-loop open dual strin…

Sloths are unusual: they're the slowest-moving mammals on the planet, have the slowest metabolisms too,...

It is a well known fact that the Galois group $G$ of a Galois extension $K\subseteq L$ is a profinite group, as $G$ is equal to the inverse limit of the Galois groups of the finite subextensions of ...

Teaching reform is a key driver of paradigm shifts in education. A key question when integrating artificial intelligence(AI) into ideological and political general education courses (IPGEC) is which reform orientation to pursue. Using a case study approach and drawing on the analytical framework of constructivist learning theory(CLT), this study collected data from 12 teachers and 201 students ac…

Speaking anxiety remains a persistent constraint on second language learning, and it becomes especially visible when oral competence is assessed in public or professionally relevant situations. This study examines the structural pattern of such anxiety among 76 final-year English majors at Hanoi Metropolitan University. The aim is to compare anxiety across seven communicative contexts and to iden…

The integration of immersive virtual reality (VR) technologies into digital literacy education has become an important direction in contemporary educational research. However, despite the growing implementation of VR-based learning environments, there remains a lack of validated instruments for assessing learner engagement and perceptions of immersive digital literacy learning, particularly withi…

The rapid growth of digital technologies has transformed contemporary education and increased the demand for innovative, learner-centered pedagogies. Traditional teacher-centered approaches are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of digital learning environments. In this context, pragmatism offers a relevant philosophical framework, emphasizing experience, problem-solving, and practical outcom…

I sat through a vendor demo last month where a "next-generation AI marketing platform" promised to 10x our content output. I asked one question: "What's actually happening when I click Generate?" The answer, after some squirming, was a POST request to gpt-4 , a prompt template with our brand name string-interpolated in, and a temperature of 0.7. That's it. That's the platform. $40k/year for a fet…

This study investigated the role of transformational giftedness in fostering sustainability-related skills among middle school students, focusing on critical thinking, self-regulation, and sustainable-living awareness. Grounded in Sternberg’s transformational giftedness concept, the research explored how advanced cognitive and motivational capacities transform into socially meaningful outcomes. A…

BackgroundParents use diverse strategies to mediate children's digital media use, yet prior research has largely examined them in isolation using variable-centered approaches. The few person-centered studies use single-country samples and have not validated longitudinal profile stability.MethodsLatent profile analysis (LPA) and latent transition analysis (LTA) were applied to three-wave longitudi…

This study investigated the psychological mechanisms linking challenge-skills balance to psychological wellbeing among team-sport athletes, considering team identification and flow experience as the fundamental drivers of this relationship. A sample of 281 team-sport athletes completed an online survey comprising measures of challenge-skill balance, team identification, flow, and wellbeing. Resul…

IntroductionPsychological safety is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of athletes’ wellbeing and sustainable performance, particularly in youth sport. Despite growing interest in the construct, validated tools to measure it remain largely limited to English contexts. This study thus aimed to validate a French translation of the Sport Psychological Safety Inventory (SPSI).Materials and …

This study translated and adapted the AI Literacy Questionnaire for Chinese pre-service teachers, grounded in Expectancy-Value Theory as a pre-specified theoretical framework. Examining its psychometric properties in a sample of 341 pre-service teachers (78% female; 86.5% third-year students) from Guangdong Province, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a 24-item, five-factor st…
