description: Background:
The essay, as a mode of nonfiction writing that foregrounds the embodied, situated position of the essayist, has its roots in the concept of the Western humanist individual subject as ‘Man’. In light of posthumanist, feminist, queer and critical race studies critiques of the latter as a construct underpinning systems of domination and exploitation, how can the essay’s affordances as a techne for staging uncertainty and multiplicity be deployed to suggest and test new forms of nonfictional account that enact and embody ethical, relational practices? This work extends research into ‘cross-over writing’ (MECO Network 2019), ‘essayesque dismemoir’ (Murray 2017) and ‘essaying as method’ (Carlin 2019).

Contribution:
This work’s contribution lies in proposing a model for a collaboratively written essay in which nested cycles of multiplicity and dialogic relationality are playfully enacted. The work draws upon the spatial and visual affordances of the Research Catalogue publishing platform for artistic research to re-imagine the form of the essay as a de-centred, plural text in which several voices are braided in fragmented, reflective dialogues. Framed as ‘documentation’ of a performance essay delivered by the authors that ‘reported upon’ a contrasting pair of artistic research projects, the work suggests how the essay as ethical performance of relationality rather than expression of individuality can challenge Eurocentric norms for articulating scholarly knowledge.

Significance:
This essay was published in RUUKKU, a multidisciplinary, multilingual, peer-reviewed journal on artistic research based in Finland, which extends artistic research through innovative multimedia publication alongside the international Journal for Artistic Research. One reviewer commented: ‘I found the use of multiple views particularly important...The whole exposition has a special forward-looking attitude that gives an idea of becoming, and imaginary choices of living in the future.’

description: Large underwater telescopes have been proposed as a challenging method to measure high energy neutrinos from astrophysical objects. In recent years, The Antares collaboration has designed and realized the first detector of this type in the Mediterranean Sea. Muon tracks produced by the neutrino interaction in the surrounding medium are reconstructed from the arrival time and the number of photo-electrons of the Cherenkov light measured by the Photomultiplier tubes (PMT) array of the detector. In order to provide sufficient statistics, the events from various periods in the year must be summed together taking care of the various environmental conditions and detector configurations. In this note we describe effective criteria to group compatible runs based on the effective number of active PMTs in each run.

description: I Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati ospitano un proto-Tier2 di ATLAS e alcune risorse di calcolo e di storage ad uso del gruppo locale. La farm in Grid svolge le funzioni di un Tier2, pur essendo di dimensioni ridotte (circa un terzo di un Tier2).  Oltre alla farm di ATLAS, i Laboratori ospitano cluster di calcolo e risorse di storage di altri gruppi, tra cui: il gruppo degli acceleratori impegnato nel progetto SuperB, il gruppo ALICE, il gruppo dei teorici, ecc...; per cui si è ritenuto opportuno costituire, all'interno del servizio del centro di calcolo, un reparto dedicato al calcolo scientifico [CS]. La creazione di questo reparto, subordinata a una serie di lavori infrastrutturali da realizzare, consentirà la collaborazione tra gli esperimenti, al fine di arrivare alla condivisione di competenze e all'acquisto di sistemi di calcolo e storage comuni. Inoltre, la messa in comune di alcuni servizi (ad esempio: un unico sistema di code batch e un server per le installazioni comune) e di personale tecnico dedicato porterebbe certamente ad un uso più efficace delle risorse umane.

description: Collisionless shocks are ubiquitous structures throughout the universe. Shock waves in space and astrophysical plasmas convert the energy of a fast-flowing plasma to other forms of energy, including thermal and magnetic energies. Plasma turbulence and high-amplitude electric and magnetic fluctuations are necessary for effective energy conversion and particle acceleration. We survey and characterize in-situ observations of reflected ions and magnetic field amplification rates at quasi-perpendicular shocks under a wide range of upstream conditions. We report magnetic amplification factors as high as 25 times the upstream magnetic field in our current dataset. Reflected ions interacting with the incoming plasma create magnetic perturbations which cause magnetic amplification in upstream and downstream regions of quasi-perpendicular shocks. Our observations show that in general magnetic amplification increases with the fraction of reflected ions, which itself increases with Mach number. Both parameters plateau once full reflection is reached. Magnetic amplification continuously increases with the inverse of the magnetization parameter of the upstream plasma. We find that the extended foot region upstream of shocks and nonlinear processes within that region are key factors for intense magnetic amplification. Our observations at non-relativistic shocks provide the first experimental evidence that below a certain magnetization threshold, the magnetic amplification efficiency at quasi-perpendicular shocks becomes comparable to that at the quasi-parallel shocks.

description: In this paper, in an FLRW background and a perfect fluid equation of state, we explore the possibility of the realization of an emergent scenario in a 4D regularized extension of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, with the field equations particularly expressed in terms of scalar-tensor degrees of freedom. By assuming non-zero spatial curvature ($k = \pm 1$), the stability of the Einstein static universe (ESU) and its subsequent exit into the standard inflationary system is tested through different approaches. In terms of dynamical systems, a spatially closed universe rather than an open universe shows appealing behaviour to exhibit a graceful transition from the Einstein static universe to standard cosmological history. We found that under linear homogeneous perturbations, for some constraints imposed on the model parameters, the Einstein static universe is stable under those perturbations. Moreover, it is noted that for a successful graceful transition, the equation of state $ω$ must satisfy the conditions $-1 < ω<0$ and $ω< -1$ for closed and open universes, respectively. Also, under density perturbations, the Einstein static universe is unstable if the fluid satisfies the strong energy condition but is stable if it violates it, for both closed and open universes. Furthermore, the Einstein static universe is seen to be stable under vector perturbations and tensor perturbations, regardless of whether the fluid obeys or violates the SEC.

description: We present a facile desktop fabrication method for origami-based nano-gap indium tin oxide (ITO) electrokinetic particle traps, providing a simplified approach compared to traditional lithographic techniques and effectively trapping of nanoparticles. Our approach involves bending ITO thin films on optically transparent polyethylene terephthalate (PET), creating an array of parallel nano-gaps. By strategically introducing weak points through cut-sharp edges, we successfully controlled the spread of nano-cracks. A single crack spanning the constriction width and splitting the conductive layers forms a nano-gap that can effectively trap small nanoparticles after applying an alternating electric potential across the nanogap. We analyze the conditions for reversible trapping and optimal performance of the nano-gap ITO electrodes with optical microscopy and electrokinetic impedance spectroscopy. Our findings highlight the potential of this facile fabrication method for the use of ITO at active electro-actuated traps in microfluidic systems.
A possible infrared origin of leptonic mixing
Creators: name: F. Terranova
Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 2011

description: Fermion mixing is generally believed to be a low-energy manifestation of an underlying theory whose energy scale is much larger than the electroweak scale. In this paper we investigate the possibility that the parameters describing lepton mixing actually arise from the low-energy behavior of the neutrino interacting fields.  In particular, we conjecture that the measured value of the mixing angles for a given process depends on the number of unobservable flavor state at the energy of the process. We provide a covariant implementation of such conjecture, draw its consequences in a two neutrino family approximation and compare these findings with current experimental data.

description: Risk prediction models for cancer stage at diagnosis may identify individuals at higher risk of late-stage cancer diagnoses. Partial proportional odds risk prediction models for cancer stage at diagnosis for males and females were developed using data from Alberta’s Tomorrow Project (ATP). Prediction models were validated on the British Columbia Generations Project (BCGP) cohort using discrimination and calibration measures. Among ATP males, older age at diagnosis was associated with an earlier stage at diagnosis, while full- or part-time employment, prostate-specific antigen testing, and former/current smoking were associated with a later stage at diagnosis. Among ATP females, mammogram and sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy were associated with an earlier stage at diagnosis, while older age at diagnosis, number of pregnancies, and hysterectomy were associated with a later stage at diagnosis. On external validation, discrimination results were poor for both males and females while calibration results indicated that the models did not over- or under-fit to derivation data or over- or under-predict risk. Multiple factors associated with cancer stage at diagnosis were identified among ATP participants. While the prediction model calibration was acceptable, discrimination was poor when applied to BCGP data. Updating our models with additional predictors may help improve predictive performance.

description: The ALICE experiment at the LHC identifies photons, electrons and neutral mesons with the  electromagnetic calorimeters PHOS and EMCal. At high transverse momentum the π^0 decays into two photons with a small aperture angle in the lab system, what makes difficult their identification as separated photons in the calorimeters. One of the proposed methods to discriminate between photons and high momentum π^0 is to study the shape of the shower produced in the calorimeter. In this note we present our results for shower shape MC studies using EMCal. We identify photons with an efficiency higher than the 80% for  photons with energies in the range 10-25 GeV.

description: The maturity of software development process is strictly related to the implementation of the best practices typically followed by software team to perform particular tasks and to meet particular objectives. Its improvement is guaranteed by the presence of metrics that are designed and measured to plan and control productivity, effectiveness, quality and timeliness of software projects and products. The measurement of metrics contributes to collecting right data to the handling of the analysis process, and to establishing a dashboard to the management of the overall health of the process. This paper describes a data environment suitable for improving the quality of the software process, developed in the context of the ETICS 2 European project. The data environment encompasses: 1) the trend analysis disseminator; and 2) the representation of software metrics and other useful software project information according to a standard organizational dashboard. The paper also describes the data environment implementations.

description: We present an exact solution for a non-BPS charged rotating black ring endowed with a dipole charge in the bosonic sector of five-dimensional minimal supergravity. Utilizing the electric Harrison transformation, we derive this solution by converting a five-dimensional vacuum solution into a charged solution within the realm of five-dimensional minimal supergravity. As the seed solution for the Harrison transformation, we use a vacuum solution of a rotating black ring possessing a Dirac-Misner string singularity. The resulting solution exhibits regularity, indicating the absence of curvature singularities, conical singularities, orbifold singularities, Dirac-Misner string singularities, and closed timelike curves both on and outside the horizon. This obtained solution carries mass, two angular momenta, an electric charge, and a dipole charge, with only three of these quantities being independent, similar to the charged rotating dipole black ring found previously by Elvang, Emparan and Figueras. However, aside from the vacuum case, these two solutions do not coincide. We discuss the difference between them in the phase space.

description: We study intraband high-order harmonic generation arising from a band-gap material driven by a linearly polarized laser field. We factorize the intraband high-order harmonic-generation signal into intracycle and intercycle terms. The intracycle term uniquely determines the spectral characteristics whereas the intercycle term merely modulates the spectral features by imposing energy conservation in the long-pulse limit. Through analysis of the intracycle interference, the cutoff is identified, and the origin of the harmonic selection rules is revealed. Further, it is outlined how different components of the bandstructure contribute to different regions of the harmonic spectrum, giving rise to non-trivial intensity scaling of individual harmonics in the plateau region.

description: In order to detect the spin contribution to the synchrotron radiation, the so-called spin light, we propose to compare the characteristics of the radiations emitted by a spin-less charged particle with the huge crop of data regarding the synchrotron light, i.e. the radiation emitted by particles endowed with a magnetic moment. Helium nuclei are proposed as the lightest stable spin-less charged particles available.

Die Zusammensetzung der Arten ist zudem ein ⁠Indikator⁠ der Deutschen ⁠Anpassungsstrategie⁠ an den ⁠Klimawandel⁠ (Baumartenzusammensetzung in Naturwaldreservaten). Flächendeckende Informationen zur Verbreitung der Hauptbaumarten konnten bisher entweder nur modellhaft abgeleitet oder auf der Basis forstlicher Inventare näherungsweise ermittelt werden. Beide Verfahren sind teils sehr aufwendig und kostenintensiv. Durch das europäische Erdbeobachtungsprogramm Copernicus stehen seit 2015 kostenlos Satellitendaten in guter räumlicher, zeitlicher und spektraler Auflösung zur Verfügung. Im Rahmen der ⁠Machbarkeitsstudie⁠ wurden optische Daten des Satelliten Sentinel-2 verwendet, um deren Potential hinsichtlich einer bundesweiten Klassifikation von Baumarten zu untersuchen. Für ausgewählte einschlägige Baumarten konnten Klassifikationen mit einer hohen Zuverlässigkeit gestützt auf Referenz- und Satellitendaten in fünf bundesweit repräsentativ verteilten Testgebieten erreicht werden. Die Möglichkeit der Operationalisierung der geprüften Methodik wird nunmehr im ⁠UBA⁠ (und im ⁠BfN⁠) geprüft.

description: The interaction between electromagnetic waves and heat transfer phenomena due to microwave treatment is of utmost importance for an energy-efficient microwave-integrated grinding circuit. In this study, the effect of microwave irradiations on the heat absorptions of crushed particles is carried out by developing a numerical model. Crushed particles are simulated as diced-shaped geometries with different sitting arrangements but similar size distributions. The energy efficiency of the microwave treatment process is studied by introducing temperature-dependent dielectric properties and accounting for the convective heat loss from the particle boundaries to the surrounding environment. The simulations are quantitatively validated with the experimental results for heat over microwave efficiency. Heat absorption of larger particles is found to be significantly higher, and the arrangement of particles exerts a negligible effect on overall energy absorption. It is also found that ores with a larger average diameter can yield higher energy efficiencies, and the maximum absorption can be achieved by placing the particles at certain distances from the waveguide of the microwave.

description: This study introduces an innovative Gaussian Process (GP) model utilizing an ensemble kernel that integrates Radial Basis Function (RBF), Rational Quadratic, and Matérn kernels for product sales forecasting. By applying Bayesian optimization, we efficiently find the optimal weights for each kernel, enhancing the model's ability to handle complex sales data patterns. Our approach significantly outperforms traditional GP models, achieving a notable 98\% accuracy and superior performance across key metrics including Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and Coefficient of Determination ($R^2$). This advancement underscores the effectiveness of ensemble kernels and Bayesian optimization in improving predictive accuracy, offering profound implications for machine learning applications in sales forecasting.

description: The recent breakthroughs in the research on Large Language Models (LLMs) have triggered a transformation across several research domains. Notably, the integration of LLMs has greatly enhanced performance in robot Task And Motion Planning (TAMP). However, previous approaches often neglect the consideration of dynamic environments, i.e., the presence of dynamic objects such as humans. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to address this gap by incorporating human awareness into LLM-based robot task planning. To obtain an effective representation of the dynamic environment, our approach integrates humans' information into a hierarchical scene graph. To ensure the plan's executability, we leverage LLMs to ground the environmental topology and actionable knowledge into formal planning language. Most importantly, we use LLMs to predict future human activities and plan tasks for the robot considering the predictions. Our contribution facilitates the development of integrating human awareness into LLM-driven robot task planning, and paves the way for proactive robot decision-making in dynamic environments.

description: Galloway-Mowat syndrome (GAMOS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder classically characterized by central nervous system and renal abnormalities. Optic atrophy has been reported as a common ophthalmic feature, and other characteristics, including nystagmus, strabismus, oculomotor apraxia, and retinopathy have been reported; however, data on retinal involvement and dysfunction is limited. In this case report, we aim to describe retinal findings in a female adolescent diagnosed with GAMOS due to a homozygous variant in the WDR73 gene. A comprehensive ophthalmologic examination, including dilated fundus examination, fundus photography, electroretinogram (ERG), and optical coherence tomography (OCT), was performed. Systemic findings were obtained from medical records. The patient’s visual testing was significant for oculomotor apraxia, large angle esotropia, and cross fixation. On fundus examination, bilateral optic nerve pallor and retinal vessel attenuation were noted. OCT revealed bilateral retinal thinning. ERG demonstrated non-recordable rod and cone responses. This case report describes multimodal imaging findings in a patient diagnosed with GAMOS due to biallelic homozygous variants in the WDR73 gene with comparison of retinal findings and ERG results to previously reported cases. Furthermore, we present OCT and fundus images for the first time in the literature.

description: Full-disk spectroscopic observations of the solar corona are highly desired to forecast solar eruptions and their impact on planets and to uncover the origin of solar wind. In this paper, we introduce a new multi-slit design (5 slits) to obtain extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectra simultaneously. The selected spectrometer wavelength range (184-197 Å) contains several bright EUV lines that can be used for spectral diagnostics. The multi-slit approach offers an unprecedented way to efficiently obtain the global spectral data but the ambiguity from different slits should be resolved. Using a numerical simulation of the global corona, we primarily concentrate on the optimization of the disambiguation process, with the objective of extracting decomposed spectral information of six primary lines. This subsequently facilitates a comprehensive series of plasma diagnostics, including density (Fe XII 195.12/186.89 Å), Doppler velocity (Fe XII 193.51 Å), line width (Fe XII 193.51 Å) and temperature diagnostics (Fe VIII 185.21 Å, Fe X 184.54 Å, Fe XI 188.22 Å, Fe XII 193.51 Å). We find a good agreement between the forward modeling parameters and the inverted results at the initial eruption stage of a coronal mass ejection, indicating the robustness of the decomposition method and its immense potential for global monitoring of the solar corona.

description: This research investigates the performance of household rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems as they are used simultaneously with other water sources. The first phase of research was a case study in Kuahkuil, a rural indigenous Miskitu community in Nicaragua. The RWH systems studied were implemented by WaterAid as part of the Lazos de Agua WASH program, which is coordinated by Millennium Water Alliance across five Latin American countries. FEMSA Foundation and Coca-Cola Latin America fund Lazos de Agua; Fons Català also funds WaterAid in Nicaragua. The principal aim of the study was to generate empirical data that would describe how rooftop RWH performed in practice while accounting for all water sources households used. This aim responds to a global deficiency of information describing RWH performance once implemented and how multiple water sources are used. The methodology used technical and social data to assess the performance of water supplies and their acceptability to users. Technical performance data were collected following a Service Level Ladder used in the Lazos de Agua M&E system. Data logging of water levels in 4000L capacity RWH tanks, mapping, water sampling, RWH system modeling, and water diaries were used to quantify water source usage, quality, accessibility, and reliability. Social data included household surveys and interviews in which respondents ranked different water sources. Data was collected in the dry and rainy seasons. Kuahkuil residents used 29 water sources in addition to 57 household RWH systems. Most households used multiple water sources in both seasons. Average water use from all sources was 37 and 41 liters per capita per day (lpcd) during dry and rainy season monitoring periods, respectively. RWH was the preferred rainy season source, providing 92% of water at 37 lpcd. RWH provided 11% of total dry season water. Water use would have been underestimated by 27-40% in the rainy season and 10% in the dry season if only sources considered "primary" were counted. RWH systems provided significant quality and accessibility benefits. RWH water had lower E. coli concentrations than 28 of 29 other sources. Families would have to walk an average of 1.5 km/day to collect the same volume of water of inferior microbial quality as their RWH systems supply. This accessibility benefit is significant despite RWH systems providing water 73-79% of the time. Perceptions of RWH were generally good. Respondents particularly valued individually owning RWH systems. Some respondents had concerns of RWH water quality, but only during the dry season.

description: SuperB  is an INFN flagship project for a new high-luminosity heavy-flavor factory. Along with its companion detector, it is dedicated to the search for CP violation effects in the $B$ meson sector with the aim of looking for direct and indirect signals of new physics, beyond the Standard Model. However it could offer as well the opportunity for a systematic, high-statistics study of $b$ baryon properties and for a search for super-nuclei, that is bound nuclear systems with an explicit content of beauty.

description: Il progetto FastCam, sviluppato nei LNF dell'INFN per la rivelazione di eventi luminosi ultraveloci (femtosecondi) ed applicazione alla diagnostica del laser FLAME, è qui presentato. FastCam è un'innovativa streak camera a scansione sincrona, di alta risoluzione spaziale e temporale, in cui la deflessione del fascio elettronico è ottenuta per mezzo  del profilo veloce di un campo elettrico trasversale di una particolare cavità RF, accordata a 5.2 GHz. I parametri del fascio elettronico sono stati studiati con SIMION 8.0, un programma di simulazione di ottica ionica a 2D e 3D. In particolare, è stato analizzato il parametro che più limita la risoluzione temporale della streak camera, la dispersione che il fascio elettronico subisce nel transito della camera UHV. Le simulazioni sono state organizzate in modo da ottenere dimensioni e caratteristiche del fascio in funzione di ogni suo parametro nelle varie regioni attraversate della streak camera. La propagazione degli elettroni è stata simulata sotto l'effetto delle tensioni di griglia catodica e delle lenti focheggianti di Einzel, considerando l'effetto della carica spaziale, della distribuzione di energia dei fotoelettroni e le caratteristiche geometriche e costruttive del sistema. I risultati della simulazione hanno permesso di dare un primo notevole contributo ad ottimizzare il prototipo di streak camera qui presentato. I calcoli teorici, fatti su modelli matematici di trasporto di fascio di elettroni nella camera da vuoto dal percorso e campi elettrici ottimizzati, sono stati perfezionati, usando Mathematica della Wolfram. Il risultato di questi calcoli fornisce una risoluzione temporale inferiore a 170 fs per gli impulsi della luce visibile.

Spectropolarimetric Radio Imaging of Faint Gyrosynchrotron Emission from a CME : A Possible Indication of the Insufficiency of Homogeneous Models

description: The geo-effectiveness of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is determined primarily by their magnetic fields. Modeling of Gyrosynchrotron (GS) emission is a promising remote sensing technique to measure the CME magnetic field at coronal heights. However, faint GS emission from CME flux ropes is hard to detect in the presence of bright solar emission from the solar corona. With high dynamic-range spectropolarimetric meter wavelength solar images provided by the Murchison Widefield Array, we have detected faint GS emission from a CME out to $\sim 8.3\ R_\odot$, the largest heliocentric distance reported to date. High-fidelity polarimetric calibration also allowed us to robustly detect circularly polarized emission from GS emission. For the first time in literature, Stokes V detection has jointly been used with Stokes I spectra to constrain GS models. One expects that the inclusion of polarimetric measurement will provide tighter constraints on GS model parameters. Instead, we found that homogeneous GS models, which have been used in all prior works, are unable to model both the total intensity and circular polarized emission simultaneously. This strongly suggests the need for using inhomogeneous GS models to robustly estimate the CME magnetic field and plasma parameters.

Brief Explanation of Experimental Data Set on Excess Heat and Nuclear Transmutation in Multiplly Nanocoated Ni Wire

description: Experimental data of excess heat generation and nuclear transmutation obtained in Ni wire multiplly nano-coated with Pd and a compound of B, Sr, Ba and Th at up to 900 degC have been analyzed using the TNCF model. The Ni wire is 50 μm in diameter and 82 cm long. The coating is made of Pd and the compound about 50 times resulting in a surface layer of about one μm thick. The maximum excess energy Qmax is 1800 W/g of the Ni wire. There have occurred various nuclear transmutations. The most notable results are enumerated as follows: (1) Elements Ti, Cr, Co, As, Ir, and Tl have increased. (2) B, Sr, Pd and Ba have decreased. (3) Fe and Ni have not showed remarkable change. (4) In the case of B, Sr and Ba, the rates of the decrease are larger for lighter isotopes. (5) 105B/115B ratio decreased over 14%. (6) 10546Pd decreased about 5% and 10246Pd increased about 9%. These data have been analyzed using the TNCF model successfully applied for explanation of various experimental data sets over the past 15 years. We can estimate the parameter of the model nn using the data for 105B and 10546Pd as follows; nn = 1.3x109 cm'3 (by the decrease of 105B) and nn = 2.5x1011 cm'3 (by the decrease of 10546Pd). These values show the situation in the experiment belong to a range of fairly large value of the parameter where we can expect the nuclear reactions by a single neutron and also a n-p cluster. The excess heat generation of 1800 W/g at its maximum has been investigated using the value of nn estimated above and a formula for the excess energy is induced. Assuming the surface layer of 1μm thick is made of Pd only, for illustrative purposes, we have obtained Qav about 1% of the observed maximum one. If the average value of the excess energy is about 10% of the maximum, the discrepancy is about one order of magnitude. If we know the correct composition of the surface layer, the calculated value of Qav will increase a little. The nuclear transmutation of several elements confirmed by the experiment is qualitatively explained assuming the single neutron absorption by elements in the surface layer. The decrease of Ru might be explained by a single n-p cluster absorption.

description: This research investigates the significance of the physical environment in early childhood education and care (ECEC) institutions as a facilitator of deep-level learning. Building upon Laevers’ concept of deep-level learning, this study explores the interplay between objects in ECEC settings, children’s play, and their deep-level learning. The primary objective is to examine the potential mediating role of play in the relationship between objects and deep-level learning. The research methodology involves the analysis of a sample consisting of 928 two-minute video observations collected from eight ECEC institutions in Norway. The results demonstrate a positive association between children’s engagement in play, their utilization of objects, and deep-level learning. The findings suggest that constructive and symbolic play partly mediate the positive relationship between deep-level learning and object utilization. These outcomes highlight the pivotal role of play in early childhood education and emphasize how elements within the physical environment can effectively support children’s learning.
