"The complicity exposed by this report is just the tip of the iceberg; ending it will not happen without holding the private sector accountable, including its executives. International law recognizes varying degrees of responsibility – each requiring scrutiny and accountability, particularly in this case, where a people’s self-determination and very existence are at stake.

AI Literacy as a Key Driver of User Experience in AI-Powered Assessment: Insights from Socratic Mind
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools become increasingly embedded in higher education, understanding how students interact with these systems is essential to supporting effective learning. This study examines how students' AI literacy and prior exposure to AI technologies shape their perceptions of Socratic Mind, an interactive AI-powered formative assessment tool. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory and user experience research, we analyze relationships among AI literacy, perceived usability…

No longer yours, than you your self here live:
Against this coming end you should prepare,

Find no determination; then you were

Experimental Determination of BSM Triple Higgs Couplings at the HL-LHC with Neural Networks
The shape of the Higgs potential is modified by the presence of additional scalar fields, as predicted in many Beyond-Standard-Model (BSM) scenarios. In such cases, deviations in the Higgs self-interactions, in particular the trilinear Higgs couplings, could serve to disentangle the physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). While the SM predicts only one trilinear Higgs coupling, extended scalar sectors allow for additional self-interactions that can manifest themselves in Higgs pair production, …

Perturbative model for the saturation of energetic-particle-driven modes limited by self-generated zonal modes
We present a simplified approach enforcing energy conservation to incorporate the effects of zonal modes alongside wave-particle nonlinearities in the determination of the saturation amplitude. The model assumes that the zonal perturbations grow at a rate twice that of the original (pump) wave, consistent with a beat-driven (or force-driven) generation mechanism. The evolution and saturation of the mode amplitude are investigated both analytically and numerically within our reduced model assump…

Sense of Belonging and Intent to Persist: Mediating Role of Motivation and Moderating Role of Gender in Physics and Astronomy Graduate Students

Sense of Belonging and Intent to Persist: Mediating Role of Motivation and Moderating Role of Gender in Physics and Astronomy Graduate Students
This study investigates how graduate students' sense of belonging (SB) influences their intent to persist (IP) in physics and astronomy programs, and how this relationship is shaped by the basic psychological needs that drive motivation-autonomy, competence, and relatedness-as well as gender. Grounded in self-determination theory, the analysis treats these three needs as mediators and gender as a moderator. A quantitative survey was administered to graduate students in the Department of Physics…

Self++: Merging Human and AI for Co-Determined XR Living in the Metaverse
This position paper introduces Self++, a novel nine-level framework for co-determined living in the Metaverse, grounded in Self-Determination Theory. Self++ prioritises human flourishing by progressively cultivating competence, autonomy, and relatedness through dynamic human-AI collaboration in extended reality (XR). Unlike technologically deterministic approaches, Self++ emphasises user empowerment by enhancing competency, mitigating cognitive biases and leveraging XR's immersive capabilities.…

Principles for Environmental Justice in Technology: Toward a Regenerative Future
This paper introduces the Environmental Justice in Technology (EJIT) Principles, a framework to help reorient technological development toward social and ecological justice and collective flourishing. In response to prevailing models of technological innovation that prioritize speed, scale, and profit while neglecting systemic injustice, the EJIT principles offer an alternative: a set of guiding values that foreground interdependence, repair, and community self-determination.

First principles calculations of dynamical Born effective charges, quadrupoles and higher order terms from the charge response in large semiconducting and metallic systems
Within the context of first principles techniques we present a theoretical and computational framework to quickly determine, at finite momentum, the self-consistent (longitudinal) charge response to an external perturbation, that enters the determination of the scattering cross section of inelastic scattering processes such as EELS. We also determine the (tranverse) charge response computed in short-circuit condition. The all-order quasimomentum expansion of the tranverse charge response to an …

Neural simulation-based inference of the Higgs trilinear self-coupling via off-shell Higgs production
One of the forthcoming major challenges in particle physics is the experimental determination of the Higgs trilinear self-coupling. While efforts have largely focused on on-shell double- and single-Higgs production in proton-proton collisions, off-shell Higgs production has also been proposed as a valuable complementary probe. In this article, we design a hybrid neural simulation-based inference (NSBI) approach to construct a likelihood of the Higgs signal incorporating modifications from the S…

Microscopic determination of the interacting boson-fermion model Hamiltonian from the nuclear energy density functional
A microscopic formulation of the interacting boson-fermion model for odd-$A$ nuclei is made using the nuclear energy density functional framework. Strength parameters for the bosonic Hamiltonian and boson-fermion interactions are shown to be determined completely so that energy surfaces and deformed single-particle energies of the Bose-Fermi systems should match the corresponding self-consistent mean-field solutions for fermionic systems. In an illustrative application to axially symmetric odd-…
