"Academic burnout" refers to a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion specifically related to the demands and pressures of academic life. It often stems from prolonged stress, excessive workload, unrealistic expectations, and a lack of support in educational environments. Symptoms of academic burnout can include:
- Emotional Exhaustion: Feeling drained, overly tired, and unable to cope with academic responsibilities.
- Reduced Performance: A decline in academic achievement or motivation; students may find it difficult to concentrate or engage with their studies.
- Detachment: A sense of disconnection from academic work or a diminished interest in one’s studies.
- Cynicism: Developing a negative or indifferent attitude towards educational goals, professors, or classmates.
- Physical Symptoms: Experiencing headaches, insomnia, or other stress-related physical issues.
Academic burnout can affect students of all levels, from high school to college and beyond, and is increasingly recognized as a significant issue in the education system. Addressing it often involves seeking support from peers, faculty, or counseling services, as well as finding healthier work-life balances and implementing stress-reduction techniques.
Hi, I’m trying to access a specific paper from a 1901 issue of the Journal of Tropical Medicine, but I can't download it from HathiTrust; only keyword searches are allowed, so I don’t have the exact title. This issue seems to only be available in certain university libraries (e.g., University of Sydney, Cambridge, Oxford). Is there anyone at one of these universities who could help me access or locate this paper?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I was wondering, how the new members can get ability to add Charmo university as a recognized institute on ResearchGate platform . The new members claim that they cannot choose Charmo university in the dropdown list of the institutions, already recognized by ResearchGate.
Information about Charmo university is here https://ror.org/04htg4q18
In 2018, a question on the legitimacy / credibility of InTech Open was asked by Stephen Jia Wang of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The responses from researchers were quite split with the two most popular answers being "...do not waste your time..." (143 Recommendations) and "...there are many advantages" (118 Recommendations). After almost six years, had there been changes? And if you had submitted to the said publisher, what did it cost you and how was the experience? I have been receiving numerous emails from their publishing process manager and I have become curious.
As a graduate student at the Arizona State University in the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education, I am beginning my Capstone process. In one of our classes, we have been asked to develop a definition for "Research" and "Evaluation" in our own words.
Research and Evaluation
· Research is the collection of information with the intent of increasing knowledge and understanding on a specific subject.
· Evaluation is the practice of judging the performance to a specific set of criteria or standards for accomplishment.
To compare and contrast "Research" and "Evaluation" if noticed these specific items.
Compare and Contrast
· Similarities – Both Research and Evaluation should be grounded in empirical evidence. In each, reliable and valid evidence is collected for analysis.
· Differences – The purpose of research is to collect information to explain existing bodies of knowledge or generate new theories. The purpose of evaluation is to assess the understanding or performance against a specified standard.
In your experience as educators or professionals, is there marked differences between these concepts or have they become synonymous?
Sirs. ResearchGate
Receive a cordial and respectful greeting. For academic purposes only,
we request collaboratively the following articles for one of our
research professors, who is preparing her doctoral thesis.

Factors influencing drugs intake by students and their effects on their academic performance in Bukuta university?
Working adults often face unique challenges, such as managing their professional responsibilities alongside their studies, with the added pressure of condensed semester durations compared to full-time students. For example, some lecturers may not fully engage with or address the specific needs and concerns of working adults during lectures or assignments, potentially leading to gaps in understanding or academic performance. Additionally, working adults returning to education may struggle with independently conducting research, given their time away from formal studies and the need to adapt to academic expectations. What approaches do you recommend for creating a supportive learning environment that acknowledges these challenges and provides effective solutions to help working adults succeed?"

Think about willful academic blindness(ACADEMIC TUNNELING) vrs willful democratic blindness(POLITICAL TUNNELING)....
The first type/academic tunneling seems now normal, taking place at universities, thinktanks, international organizations, governments....which will lead to the death of science in a way that THOMAS KUHN was not expecting, BUT IT IS NOT BEING SEEN AS A THREAT TO THE SURVIVAL OF SCIENCE as it seems we are now in a non-science based world as science or not, they still will push what they want to push.....
The second type/political tunneling is SEEN as an existential threat to liberal democracy as political tunneling does not work under democratic rules just see the political dynamics under political tunneling processes under exism movements like Trumpism....
Hence, willful political tunneling with the support of alternative facts is seen as a serious threat to democracy from within, but willful academic tunneling with the support of alternative academic facts is not seen apparently as a serious threat to science from within, which makes you wonder, why.
And this raises the question, Why willful blindness is taken as a serious threat to the survival of democracy, but not the survival of science?
What do you think?
Note:
This is an academic question, not a political one.
I want to publish a research paper but don't want to list my graduate university as an affiliation. Journals require authors to select an affiliated institution/organization. How can I introduce myself as an independent researcher if no such option exists in the specified journal options?
I am at university, and I want to start my own business at an early age.

Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity! 🌟
Hi! I am currently conducting a research for our undergrad thesis. I came across a very specific questionnaire, and each of the questions specified the name of the university (my topic is campus climate and academic performance). Is it possible to omit or to change the name of the university so that I can sync it to my research demographics?
As an academic working and pursuing a PhD degree in Egypt, both in private and public universities respectively, I wanted to put forward a simple question:
What is the role of universities, and other academic institutions, today? Was there ever a time where universities were agents of revolutionary action and change, or was it only a subject of the overall consumerist system?
We can take many steps back till the Ancient Egyptian times, where scribes and priests were taught writing, mathematics, and documentation of daily exchanges. All the way till today's era of digital globalization and mass education, where knowledge production process has become more of a virtual canvas rather than actual knowledge. Has knowledge ever served its purpose? Have academic institutions, and of course academic scholars, ever delivered the true purpose of education?
Was, and still, education's main sole purpose is economic prosperity of certain classes, hence socio-economic segregation?
All about the Temple University Fox School of Business US call for Pir Hassan Ali Shah to Graduate Demo Class: AI Sustainability
Google Search Image of Pir Hassan Ali Shah at Temple University US
Pir Hassan Ali Shah attended the class. Pir Hassan Ali Shah has already written an article about sustainable business. The whole world should read Pir Hassan Ali Shah articles, especially India and China, which are home to about the half of the world. The US and UK should also read Pir Hassan Ali Shah articles as he looks at the local and international world. Pir Hassan Ali Shah, as usual, asks some questions, but the question remains in his mind, like what was, what if, how do, how, what, how to, what is, and what to. All world local and international university call for Pir Hassan Ali Shah in their class on the subject of co, business, money, economics, finance, and accounting.
Bettina Gautel and I have tried to address the challenges posed to university teaching by AI systematically and not just reactively.
In our first article, we want to initiate a discussion. You can find the article under the following link:
We have also gone beyond this and tried to research the phenomenon qualitatively, both from the students' and lecturers' perspective. A first publication on this will take some time, as is the case with science.
However, we would be very interested in your experiences in this field, which will keep us all very busy.
Dear Sir,
I would like to ask you how could I add my university's logo to my profile?
Thanks.

A subset of a topological space is called delta-open if it is the intersection of
countably many open sets.
D. B. Gauld and others defined a topology on the set X=[0, +infinity[ by
using the sets A\cap [x, +infinity[ , where x is in X and A is a co-finite subset
of X as the basic open sets.
They stated that ever dense, delta-open subset of the space X is of the form
A cap [x, +infinity[ , where x is in X and A is a co-countable subset of X.
However, I have not been able to prove this statement, despite that they
considered it to be obvious. Therefore, I ask you to provide me a
reasonable proof.
Their statement is important. Namely, it can be used to prove that
Volterra spaces are genuine generalizations of Baire spaces.

IEEE Symposium on Explainable, Responsible, and Trustworthy CI (IEEE CITREx)
2025 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence(SSCI)
17-20 March 2025 - Trondheim, Norway
***************************************************
The development of explainable, responsible, and trustworthy computational intelligence (CI) and artificial intelligence (AI) is crucial for transparency, accountability, and user confidence. By ensuring AI/CI systems are understandable, monitored, and reliable, we can make decisions that comply with regulations and ethical principles, thereby reducing risks and biases. This empowers users to engage with these technologies confidently, promoting a harmonious integration of AI into daily life.
This symposium aims to discuss the ethical principles governing AI/CI technology in light of current regulatory efforts and the impact on operators, users, and stakeholders. It will explore how to make AI/CI decisions clear and interpretable to enhance transparency and trust. Additionally, the symposium will address balancing technological ecological footprints with economic benefits, managing automation's workforce impact, protecting privacy, and the legal implications of AI/CI in autonomous systems among some othertopics of interest.
IEEE SSCI is widely recognized for cultivating the interchange of state-of-the-art theories and sophisticated algorithms within the broad realm of Computational Intelligence Applications. The Symposia provide for cross-pollination of research concepts, fostering an environment that facilitates future inter and intra collaborations.

Environmental Performance Index is released by Yale's University biennially. It includes a series of indicators and every indicator has a weight. So how was the weight determined? And I do not agree on the fact that every country shares the same weight on each indicator, which is kind of unfair to some developing countries.
I am an Independent researcher. So, I am not connected to any University. In my research, I founded more than hundreds new records and 15 new species. So it is hard for me to collect herbarium sheet number for my article. I have all the necessary photography of my own and Botanical Illustrations are made by me. Can I publish them in famous journals? And can it be included in KEW organization?
Elsevier Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) has just published the special issue on "Serverless Computing in the Cloud-to-Edge Continuum", which I co-edited together with my dear colleagues Omer Rana (Cardiff University, UK), Luiz Fernando Bittencourt (University of Campinas, Brazil), and Hao Wu (Beijing Normal University, China).
The special issue brings together 17 novel and high-quality contributions in the emerging field of serverless computing in cloud-edge systems.
At this link (https://lnkd.in/dkra9gqs) you may find the article collection. At this link (https://lnkd.in/d9Zqpr5y) -- accessible until September 20 -- you may find the editorial summary of the special issue.
Happy reading :)

Can we make the earth's faults resistant and prevent it from breaking? And have safe and secure homes?
There are several ways to prevent ground faults from shaking. According to most geologists, what causes the rupture of the earth's fault and the strong shaking of the fault and the release of energy from the center of the earthquake from the fault and the L waves or the P, S and L waves from inside the earth, is excessive pressure on the fault in millions of years. And most importantly, the penetration of water, humidity and cold into the faults is more in the cold seasons of the year; It happens like autumn, winter and spring and also in the early morning and night. And it causes the energy inside them to be released, and check this in the time series of several years of earthquakes, we understand the reason for the cold and water penetration into the faults, especially at night and early morning when the weather gets colder. This rupture of faults is more in the early morning and most earthquakes occur in the early morning from 4 am to 6 am or from 9 pm to 2 am. Underground and fault is easier. And now geologists have realized that man himself can create earthquakes in 3 or 4 ways, i.e. artificial earthquakes. For example, in the faults and in the parts where there is displacement in the folded layers of the earth, by digging Amin wells and injecting water pressure into these wells, it penetrates the layers inside the fault and causes energy to be released from within. They fall to the ground. The energy and rupture of the fault generated from the center of the artificial earthquake was created so that it would not shake too much and prevent continuous shaking. And then by filling it with reinforced concrete, it becomes like a nail in the ground, which can prevent the faults of the ground from breaking, because it is also mentioned in the Holy Quran. that mountains are like nails on the earth because mountains prevent the earth from shaking and we humans can create artificial earthquakes on the earth and prevent the eternal shaking of the earth in the fault zone and it is not only nature that nails like A mountain is like a mountain, humans themselves can create it, i.e. artificially create nails in the earth. These nails tighten the faults and prevent them from constantly vibrating. Of course, this experiment was conducted by geologists in the Texas region of America in 1946, when the oil well was at a shallow depth and they had to drill a well next to the oil well. Injection of water or a solution of water and salt. cause the well oil to rise. After a while they saw; An earthquake occurred in the Texas region of America for a week, and after that, geologists realized that the injection of salt and water solution in the anticline region of this region, where there was also a fault, caused the faults to break and create an artificial one. Earthquake in the region and the release of energy and this earthquake shows that humans can also cause earthquakes. Of course, earthquakes can be caused by other methods, one is like the explosion of a bomb on a fault. Like the bomb explosion in Mallard Karaj region in Alborz province in 1379 at 2:00 p.m. Tahir, 5 provinces that were on the Mesha fault shook and everyone felt it because with the explosion of this bomb that was used for testing in the military area, it suddenly exploded. and took responsibility. They were killed and injured, but because it was on the Masha fault, and this fault starts from about 400 kilometers from Abiq Qazvin and continues to the north of Semnan, it caused the fault to vibrate and release. energy, and perhaps there are other ways to rupture the fault, for example by using many dams in the area of faults and folds of the earth where there are depressions and anticlines. Because the dams intensify the infiltration of water into the ground. Of course, other methods have also been proposed, such as the use of waste and sewage, which causes further destruction of the environment, because burying waste and sewage in fault locations, despite the presence of water, leads to further destruction of the environment on the ground. Therefore, it is possible to break the fault and create and sew strong concrete and cement in it. But all this is a theory, no country has done this yet and it is only a theory. According to geologists, faults are like seams around large blocks and large plates of the earth, and they are the release of the accumulated energy of the earth, and humans cannot prevent its release, and they should only make their houses or structures resistant. For example, by creating wagers, which are in the form of resistant houses, for example, the use of light unilite on the roofs of houses instead of bricks and reinforced concrete buildings, and also like the palm tree, which has deep roots, he made the houses deep and many columns. It made it strong and also by creating spring and rubber under the pillar of the house at the bottom of minus 2 parking lots; Houses are springs like the car you have; He made it so that during an earthquake it only shakes like God Kong, but does not fall, and people are saved, and the construction engineer wants to create springs and pistons in bridges and buildings and prevent the impact of an earthquake like a shock absorber. And these works are useful for saving people.

Dear Mr. Abbas Kashani,
In the text you provided you are trying to answer to your own question on the possibility to make the earth's faults resistant and prevent them from breaking. I think that everything is possible in this world, but is it necessary to do? Of course not, because you are looking on this problem only from technical point of view but, by all means, you must first of all take into account financial aspect of this problem!!! Even if some methods will be suggested to make the earth's faults resistant and prevent them from breaking the huge funds across the globe and very complex technologies will be needed to do that. So, I consider this as a useless idea and undertaking.
My approach is different. I think that we must concentrate ourselves on the task to make buildings earthquake proof. I devoted myself on solving this important problem, and I created very simple and cost-effective seismic isolation technologies for construction of new and retrofitting of existing buildings. You can read my paper:
Mikayel G. Melkumyan. "Armenia is the World Leader in Development and Extensive Application of Low-Cost Seismic Isolation for Construction of New and Retrofitting of Existing Buildings". - Journal of Architecture and Construction (JAC), Volume 3, Issue 3, 2020, pp.43-60, ISSN: 2637-5796
I am sure that the way to save people from earthquake is to make resilient construction using modern and very efficient technologies!

Hello,
I agree in big parts with the opinion of Mikayel Grigor Melkumyan . The much more feasible way to prevent damage of earthquakes is to makes buildings safe.
What I don't see is a technology that can prevent faults from breaking. One problem is the size of a fault. They can be few hundred meters longs up to several hundreds of km. So, in the latter case you would have to provide lot of material to stop the faulting process.
Even if it would be possible the next problem is the very complex stress field and stress distribution in earthquake zones. If you would "fix" one fault the stress would go somewhere else and could trigger an earthquake somewhere else.
At the moment it is even a technically demanding task to stop slow landslides due to e.g. road cuts parallel to slopes. If the rock or soil mass is moving you have to react very quick with the right tools to prevent a failure. It also depends on the force applied by the rock/soil volume that is sliding. When the shear is to high there is is no available technique (special anchors, piles etc.) to prevent such an event. And I'm talking only about local landslides, not about preventing earthquakes.
Best regards

I want to change my current PhD university from one state to another due to emergency in family.ia it possible
In recent years, I have been completely absent from scientific social networks and even from the world of research in general. Health problems, then a permanent commitment to environmental activism and human rights have kept me away from it (and I don't know if it was a good idea in the end, I still lost the use of one eye. I'm back for two reasons: - To publish a last paper in my field of expertise. - To specify that, if the Dolos List has closed, I have kept its databases (in particular those distributed to universities). If a collaborative project emerges to replace it, it will be enough to update them and continue the work. This will not be done on my personal site, but I imagine that suitable platforms must exist.
I thank you for your messages and I am sorry for the concern that my absence may have generated for those who were aware of my health problems. But I am better, rest assured.
With friendship,
Alexandre.

I completed my PhD last year and am currently not affiliated with or employed by a university. I continue to utilize my previous affiliation for manuscripts resulting from the projects I undertook during my PhD. However, I am involved in other collaborative projects. I am curious about the possibility of obtaining an honorary status from a university or research institute for the purpose of publication, allowing me to use their affiliation until I secure a post-doc or research position in a university or institution. Is this feasible?

I am Ruthra, and I have been working as a psychologist for the past 10 years. Now, I'm interested in conducting research and I would like to conduct a survey on mental health and wellbeing among the faculty and staff at my university. Additionally, I would like to send an automated report with some suggestions once they have completed the assessment.
The debate on null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) and p-values has been going on for decades and is still going on. One side of the debate advocates abandoning NHST and p-values and promoting statistics reform (new statistics), while the other side defends NHST and p-values.
From my observations, many scientists want to abandon NHST and p-values, while many statisticians do not, although there are a few exceptions on both sides. Table 1 shows twelve distinguished scientists who advocate abandoning NHST and p-values. Table 2 shows fifteen statisticians who are the co-authors of the article: “ASA president’s task force statement on statistical significance and replicability”, which defends NHST and p-values.
As can be seen from Table 1, these scientists include economists, psychologists, physiologists, zoologists, clinical epidemiologist, and ecologists. They are all practitioners who use statistical methods (tools) in their work or practice. On the other hand, as can be seen from Table 2, most of these statisticians are university professors who teach statistics and manufacture (or invent) statistical methods (tools).
So, what do you think of this situation: “Why do many scientists want to abandon NHST and p-values, but many statisticians don’t?”
