    The System 3 Method: integrating intuition, reason and creative metacognition for deep learning
    (Frontiers Media SA, 2026-07-24)
    Chávez-Autor, Juan Carlos
    Educational psychology increasingly needs frameworks that connect deep learning, generative learning, learner agency, creative metacognition, and metacognitive control into a coherent account of how students learn. This Conceptual Analysis introduces the System 3 Method, a pedagogical framework in which learners are guided through iterative cycles that integrate intuitive salience and rational articulation under implicit and explicit metacognitive control. The article clarifies that System 3 is not an anatomical module and not a synonym for metacognition. It is defined as a functional coordination construct: the regulated coupling through which learners shift among intuitive orientation, generative construction, rational verification, integration, and transfer. The method translates this construct into GRIMT: Generation, Reflection, Integration/Iteration, Metacontrol, and Time. It further proposes NUD—novelty, usefulness, and diversity—as a complementary profile for evaluating creative learning trajectories alongside academic mastery, with novelty understood primarily as learner-relative mini-c creativity. The revised analysis situates the method more explicitly in relation to self-regulated learning, ICAP, generative learning, curiosity-driven conceptual change, knowledge integration, and learner-centered pedagogies. It also provides a worked instructional example, clarifies developmental and domain-specific boundary conditions, and distinguishes content-relevant meaningfulness from merely interesting or seductive details. Technology and artificial intelligence are discussed as possible generative scaffolds, adaptive critics, metacognitive mirrors, and process memories only when a human gate preserves authorship, verification, persistence, and transfer. The central contribution is a falsifiable framework for a pedagogy of creative metacognition: education should train learners not only to know more, but to participate more intelligently in constructing, evaluating, integrating, and transforming what they know.

    The intersection of education and gender disparities in entrepreneurship: a longitudinal decomposition approach in Russia
    (Emerald, 2026-05-22)
    Purpose This study examines the role of education in explaining and potentially reducing gender disparities in entrepreneurship in Russia, a country with a relatively low gender gap in entrepreneurial activity. The research aims to assess whether educational attainment – particularly women's superior educational outcomes – contributes to narrowing the entrepreneurship gap over time. Design/methodology/approach The analysis uses data from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS-HSE) covering the years 2000–2022. The sample comprises 226,242 observations from 36,227 individuals, of whom 54.8% are women. Gender disparities in entrepreneurship are analyzed using longitudinal decomposition techniques – extensions of the Kitagawa-Oaxaca-Blinder method – allowing for the separation of differences in levels and changes. The models control for sociodemographic characteristics such as age, marital status, number of children, health status, generalized trust, migration background, ethnicity and residency in Moscow or Saint Petersburg. The study differentiates between necessity-driven and opportunity-driven entrepreneurship. Findings The results indicate that education plays a significant role in reducing the gender gap in entrepreneurship in Russia. Women in Russia exhibit higher levels of educational attainment than men, and this educational advantage is associated with a narrowing of the entrepreneurship gap, which remains relatively small. Importantly, education functions as a structural equalizer rather than a short-term dynamic driver of convergence. These findings are robust across both types of entrepreneurship and persist after controlling for other relevant variables. Originality/value This study contributes novel empirical evidence on gender and entrepreneurship in a transition economy by applying longitudinal decomposition techniques to a large, nationally representative dataset. The research highlights the unique case of Russia, where gender parity in entrepreneurship is comparatively high, and underscores the critical role of education in shaping equitable economic outcomes. The findings offer policy-relevant insights for other countries seeking to use education as a lever to promote gender equality in entrepreneurial activity.

    The rapid expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) deployments has intensified the need for secure and efficient communication mechanisms tailored to resource-constrained devices. Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is widely adopted due to its lightweight design; however, it lacks native security support, requiring external protection mechanisms that may significantly affect system performance. This paper presents a comprehensive experimental and data-driven evaluation of two security paradigms for MQTT-based IoT networks implemented on ESP32 microcontrollers: transport-layer security using TLS and application-layer encryption based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for key exchange combined with AES symmetric encryption. The analysis jointly evaluates memory utilization, end-to-end latency, energy consumption, and resistance to passive traffic interception under identical experimental conditions. In addition to conventional metric-based comparisons, multivariate statistical analysis and unsupervised learning techniques are employed as exploratory tools to characterize the system-level behavior induced by each security scheme. Results show that Transport Layer Security (TLS) offers stronger confidentiality guarantees at the cost of higher memory overhead, while the ECC–(Advanced Encryption Standard) AES approach significantly reduces memory footprint with moderate latency penalties and comparable energy consumption. Multivariate analysis further reveals that each security mechanism induces a distinct performance regime, providing a compact joint characterization of the security–performance trade-offs across the evaluated configurations. © 2026

    Multipath Routing Protocol: For Wireless Ad-hoc Networks Based on Fibonacci
    (Zarqa University, 2026-07-04)
    Sun, Haiyun
    ;
    A WANET, which stands for Wireless Ad hoc Network, is a temporary network in which nodes are connected to each other via wireless links and there is no central management. Due to its adaptive structure, WANET is very useful in situations when quick communication link setup is necessary. On the other hand, Channel Contention (CC), degrades the performance of WANET and is a major contributor to packet drops. To solve the CC problem, this paper proposes a routing protocol called Multipath Channel Contention Based Routing (MCCBR). Using MCCBR, several paths are discovered for data transmission that have minimal contention between the source and destination. Then the packets are distributed over the discovered routes based on the Fibonacci sequence. The process of searching for new paths for transmission is initiated when the number of found paths becomes less than 50%. The proposed routing protocol was tested and verified using NS2 simulator. The performance of MCCBR was evaluated against the Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Channel Contention Based Routing (CCBR) protocols. MCCBR outperformed AODV and CCBR in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), End-to-End (E2E) delay, and normalized Media Access Control (MAC) overhead. © 2026, Zarka Private University.

    The Making of Medieval Sardinia
    (BRILL, 2021-08-16)

    Muresu, Marco
    Volume Editors: Alex Metcalfe, Hervin Fernández-Aceves, and Marco Muresu. This landmark volume combines classic and revisionist essays to explore the historiography of Sardinia’s exceptional transition from an island of the Byzantine empire to the rise of its own autonomous rulers, the iudikes, by the 1000s. In addition to Sardinia’s contacts with the Byzantines, Muslim North Africa and Spain, Lombard Italy, Genoa, Pisa, and the papacy, recent and older evidence is analysed through Latin, Greek and Arabic sources, vernacular charters and cartularies, the testimony of coinage, seals, onomastics and epigraphy as well as the Sardinia’s early medieval churches, arts, architecture and archaeology. The result is an important new critique of state formation at the margins of Byzantium, Islam, and the Latin West with the creation of lasting cultural, political and linguistic frontiers in the western Mediterranean.

    What can we learn from the Semantic Web to ‘revamp’ our Historical Research?
    (Lancaster University, 2020-12-31)
    This article comes as a result of the self-learning process I went through to understand what linked data is and how to use the semantic web model for collecting and organising my own historical data. In order to share this experience with a wider, non-specialised audience, I have written an introduction to the fundamental concepts behind the semantic model, accompanied by some brief reflections on their conceptual implications and examples on how to apply them to socio-historical data. In so doing, I wrote the introductory reflection that I wished I had known when I first heard the semantic web. The review of key concepts offers definitions for relational and linked data, graph database, RDF, semantic triple, vocabulary, ontology, and OWL. It is however a basic introduction, and it does not pretend to serve as a new contribution to the field or as a tutorial for learning how use RDF or OWL. Instead, it offers a beginner’s guide for students and researchers alike; it aims to show the reader where to start and what to expect.

    Royal comestabuli and Military Control in the Sicilian Kingdom: A Prosopographical Contribution to the Study of Italo-Norman Aristocracy
    (Western Michigan University, 2019)
    When the Sicilian monarchy was established after years of conflict, King Roger II began to consolidate his authority on the Italian peninsula. The establishment of titles for the organization and control of the continental provinces has been noted by several scholars as an instrumental feature of the kingdom's social arrangement. Yet, contemporary scholarship has dismissed the royal comestabuli as unimportant social agents, either as "officials" documented in the Catalogus Baronum or as territorial lords. As a result, several questions surrounding the issue remain unanswered: to what extent did the local, lesser aristocracy shape the kingdom's effective social, and military, control over Southern Italy, and who were the nodal characters that allow us to discern this process? Was a comestabulia a fixed administrative district, or rather a type of social authority? Although in this limited space a finished picture cannot be presented, this article offers the results of a recent prosopographical exploration of South Italian sources for the Norman period. By taking the comestabuli as a starting point, I study the intermediary position that particular barons held as both royal agents and para-comital supervisors of the military contingents levied from the kingdom's aristocracy. This article attempts not only to shed some light on this almost ignored class of functionaries, but also to further explore the social roles established amongst the Italo-Norman nobility.

    Political Manoeuvring in the Norman Kingdom of Sicily: Civitate and Carinola in the Development of the South-Italian County
    (White Rose College of the Arts and Humanities, 2016)
    One the of most interesting documents concerning the social and political history of the Norman Kingdom of Sicily can be found in the first instance in Giuseppe Del Giudice’s appendix to his diplomatic collection of Angevin documents. The document records Robert, Count of Civitate, restoring some lands that Robert Guiscard and Roger II had formerly granted to Abbot Unfredus of Terra Maggiore, and agreeing upon some exemptions and privileges. The edited document, though seemingly unimportant and relevant only at a local level, is not only crucial for the understanding of King Roger’s rearrangement of the nobility and their dominions in the mainland. What I argue here is that it also exemplifies the contemporary usage of the notion of county as a construction of something more than just a ‘countship,’ and rather a cluster of lordships defined by the social role exercised by the Norman count.
