Electrically driven light emission from two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting materials has enabled numerous optoelectronic technologies, including light-emitting diodes, solid-state lasers, and single-photon sources for quantum communication. Here we report ultranarrow electroluminescence from the magnetic excitonic state of the van der Waals antiferromagnetic semiconductor NiPS3. This electroluminescence is enabled by the fabrication of gate-tunable NiPS3 devices that remain electrically conductive below the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature of 155 K, ultimately allowing field-effect mobilities of 1.3 cm2 V-1 s-1 and 4.5 cm2 V-1 s-1 to be directly measured at room temperature and 7 K, respectively. By applying a high-frequency square wave voltage to the gate electrode of the resulting field-effect transistors, electroluminescence is capacitively induced from the magnetic excitons of NiPS3. Due to the coupling of these excitons with the underlying NiPS3 antiferromagnetic order, the electroluminescence has an ultranarrow linewidth of 1 meV and a high degree of linear polarization (ρ = 0.78). In addition to facilitating fundamental studies of the coupling between spin states and excitons in van der Waals magnetic semiconductors, this work will accelerate the development of emerging 2D opto-spintronic applications.

In response to the growing number of frequently misdirected mental health requests, a rapid and precise assessment protocol has been developed to optimize the initial triage process. This approach, based on cooperation between public and private entities, facilitates the early detection of cases requiring specialized psychiatric care while redirecting others to appropriate treatments or specific referrals. Structured in three phases over several weeks, the program aims to optimize resource allocation, reduce the saturation of specialized services, and improve accessibility. This tangible public health tool is designed to improve care pathways and limit additional costs.

Purpose The study aims to identify the factors that influence young consumers’ compulsive buying, particularly Gen Z consumers who exhibit fandom qualities such as sharing the same interests and being willing to collaborate with others. This study investigates the direct and indirect impact of brand love and brand addiction on the relationship between social media addiction and compulsive buying. Design/methodology/approach The study collected data from 338 Gen Z fandoms. The snowball sampling approach is used to determine and collect data from the sample. To test for hypotheses, the study used the PROCESS macro with bootstrapping techniques to explore the direct and indirect relationships, as well as the moderated serial mediation model in this study. Findings The study found that social media addiction influences compulsive buying via the hierarchical linkages between brand love and brand addiction. Trash talking functions as a stimulant, amplifying the effect of brand addiction on compulsive buying. Research limitations/implications The data were collected from young Thai consumers; thus, the generalizability aspect of the research is limited and needs to be tested in different countries and cultures. Originality/value This research provides several key contributions to the understanding of compulsive buying behavior among Gen Z, particularly within the context of a developing country. By integrating the stimulus-organism-response framework and psychological theories, this study offers a nuanced understanding of how social media addiction influences emotional and behavioral outcomes. Previous studies have primarily focused on these variables in isolation. The study fills this gap by demonstrating the sequential pathway through which social media addiction translates into compulsive buying behavior via brand love and brand addiction.

In this article, the author discusses the benefits of grounding strategies in modulating arousal and emotion. These essential resources are reminders of the present and are well-used in trauma therapy, temporary or persistent affect and arousal dysregulation, and crisis interventions. Grounding strategies foster emotional and physiological stabilization by focusing on the present environment and anchoring oneself in the here and now. Furthermore, they restore a sense of calmness and safety, promote a sense of control, and decrease the risk of dissociation in trauma treatment. The author analyzes from a Jungian perspective the impact of a patient’s dissociative manifestation and how to mitigate it using a compensatory grounding strategy

The purpose of this article is to present a Parsesciencing inquiry about the universal humanuniverse living experience of persevering. Six adult historians who engaged in dialogue with the scholar were invited to describe their experiences with the question: "Please tell me, what is your experience of persevering?" The discerning extant moment of the living experience of persevering was as follows: Persevering is resolutely pressing on with the cherished arising with the restricting barriers of diverse affiliations with the transsubstantiating as: Persevering is powering valuing the enabling-limiting of connecting-separating.

This chapter aims to study how salafi-jihadism became the dominant, if not the only, ideology of armed struggle in the post-Cold War era. It also studies conditions that make salafi-jihadi movements survive and thrive, in spite of successive defeats. It will also study structural conditions within the movement that constantly pushes towards further radicalization and spectacular violence. The chapter argues that those conditions that make the strength of the movement are also, paradoxically, its weaknesses.
