Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) for Journalism Studies: Making Sense of Journalists’ Sense-Making of Digital Disruptions by Amira Firdaus, Iffat Ali Aksar, Jiankun Gong, Muhammad Zaiamri Zainal Abidin, Haroon ur Rasheed Baloch, Edward Gomez

“…Paying tribute to the journalist as ‘expert’ of their own occupational lived experience, IPA provides a nuanced understanding of how journalists negotiate technological transformations in their occupational spaces. Through a triple hermeneutic analysis, where researchers attempt to make sense of journalists critically making sense of UGC and AI as a journalistic tool while reflectively engaging in sense-making of what it means to be a journalist in the age of social media and the age of AI, we explore the profound implications of these digital disruptions. …”

Socio-economic transformations in the Baltic countries by Natalia V. Govorova

“…The economic and political spaces of the Baltic states, against the background of high inflation and close to stagnation GDP growth rates, nevertheless demonstrated different results in terms of certain socio-economic parameters, which is largely due to the difference in the provision of their own energy resources and measures taken at the national level to mitigate the crisis phenomena. …”

Interpreting convolutional neural networks' low-dimensional approximation to quantum spin systems by Yilong Ju, Shah Saad Alam, Jonathan Minoff, Fabio Anselmi, Han Pu, Ankit Patel

“…However, it remains uncertain how CNNs, with a model complexity that scales at most linearly with the number of particles, solve the “curse of dimensionality” and efficiently represent wavefunctions in exponentially large Hilbert spaces. In this work, we use methodologies from information theory, group theory and machine learning, to elucidate how CNN captures relevant physics of quantum systems. …”

Le sanctuaire gallo-romain de Drevant (Cher) : état des connaissances et nouvelle approche archéologique des façades sud et est by Frédéric Méténier

“…All is likely destroyed by fire in the last quarter of the first century.A new more homogeneous architectural program was born to the transition between the 1st and the 2nd century, with the implementation of a second peribolos within the original walls to create galleries of peripheral circulation around the temenos. These spaces, galleries, and sacred area are backfilled to implement of new concrete floors, tuileaux and limestone. …”

Predicting the structure and stability of oxide nanoscrolls from dichalcogenide precursors by Adway Gupta, Arunima K. Singh

“…To determine the propensity for forming a nanoscroll, we develop a first-principles simulation-based physio-mechanical model to determine the thermodynamic stability of nanoscrolling as well as the equilibrium structure of the nanoscrolls, that is, their inner radius, outer radius, and interlayer spacing. We validate this model using experimental observations and find excellent agreement for the equilibrium nanoscroll structure. …”

“An Intense Level of Self-regulation”: Technological Opportunities and Limitations of Online Intergroup Dialogue by Grant Jackson, Sarah Schiffecker, Oleksandra Poquet

“…In this study, we interviewed 16 college students who had participated in IGD via Zoom regarding their online IGD experience, illuminating a variety of opportunities and limitations related to students’ use of cameras, microphones, and the chat feature; the physical spaces in which students experienced their online IGD; the online display of students’ IGD peers; students’ engagement in multi-tasking during IGD sessions; students’ experiences of small group activities in “breakout rooms”; and how the online delivery of IGD promoted and constrained students’ sense of equity and equality throughout their IGD experience. …”

Embracing Plural Curricula Amid Neoliberalism in Contemporary Universities in Africa: Asante’s Afrocentric Idea Revisited by Phefumula Nyoni, Otilia Chiramba

“…The paper explores the complex nature of pedagogic transformation mainly due to the persistence of Western ideals under a resurgent neoliberal philosophy that shapes practices in contemporary university spaces. The paper thus highlights how Afrocentricity transcends simplistic notions of intellectual discussions as it highlights serious and practical realities that shape the identities, ideals, aspirations, and values of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. …”

Geometry-Based Synchrosqueezing S-Transform with Shifted Instantaneous Frequency Estimator Applied to Gearbox Fault Diagnosis by Xinping Zhu, Wuxi Shi, Zhongxing Huang, Liqing Shi

“…Traditional time-frequency analysis (TFA) methods, such as the Synchrosqueezing S-transform (SSST), often face challenges in accurately representing fault-related features when significant mode closely spaced components are present. The proposed GSSST method overcomes these limitations by implementing an intuitive geometric reassignment framework, which reassigns time-frequency (TF) coefficients to maximize energy concentration, thereby allowing fault components to be distinctly isolated even under challenging conditions. …”
