British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Background While skill development is generally linked to relevant practice, the 2022 PISA creative thinking report revealed a negative association between students' creative thinking performance and their engagement in creative activities. Aims This study explored whether this negative association was linear, persisted across countries and ...

Is There a Unique Physical Entropy? Micro versus Macro [PDF]
, 2012 Entropy in thermodynamics is an extensive quantity, whereas standard methods in statistical mechanics give rise to a non-extensive expression for the entropy. This discrepancy is often seen as a sign that basic formulas of statistical mechanics should be

To vary or not to vary: A flexible empirical Bayes factor for testing variance components
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Random effects are the gold standard for capturing structural heterogeneity, such as individual differences or temporal dependence. Yet testing their presence is difficult because variance components are constrained to be non‐negative, creating a boundary problem. This paper introduces a flexible empirical Bayes factor (EBF) for testing random

Entropy corresponding to the interior of a Schwarzschild black hole
, 2017 Interior volume within the horizon of a black hole is a non-trivial concept which turns out to be very important to explain several issues in the context of quantum nature of black hole.

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Outdoor recreation and the infrastructure that supports it can impose a wide range of effects on wildlife, and impacts can vary in their severity based on taxa, the surrounding landscape matrix, and the manner in which recreational spaces are managed.

Generalized thermostatistics based on deformed exponential and logarithmic functions
, 2003 The equipartition theorem states that inverse temperature equals the log-derivative of the density of states. This relation can be generalized by introducing a proportionality factor involving an increasing positive function phi(x). It is shown that this

European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract Germany is a corporate environment that is sceptical towards digitalization and work‐from‐home, and in which it is customary to separate professional and personal spheres of life. The COVID‐19 pandemic, and ensuing government‐mandated shutdowns, changed all that by inducing extensive work‐from‐home conditions for most of the white collared ...

Metabolic thermodynamics: pertinent reference state and energy potentials
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.A recommendation and method to view the energy potentials of metabolites with reference to (green arrow) a biochemical precursor state (in green: water, Mg2+, phosphate, bicarbonate, ammonium, and sulfate, at pH = 7) rather than (the red arrow) the physical–chemical reference state (in grayish red) that is alien to biology, that is, O2, H2, N2 at 1 ...

Mathematics of the Quantum Zeno Effect [PDF]
, 2004 We present an overview of the mathematics underlying the quantum Zeno effect. Classical, functional analytic results are put into perspective and compared with more recent ones.
