The imposition of telework due to the COVID-19 pandemic brought with it the need for individuals to readjust their work-non-work boundaries. In this crisis situation, individuals' needs to manage these boundaries may have been influenced by contextual factors, such as family-supportive supervisor behaviors (FSSB) and macro-structural aspects, such as the country to which the teleworkers belong. This study tests the mediating effect of boundary control on the relationship between FSSB and satisfaction with life and examines the moderating effect of the country (Pakistan vs. Portugal) in the relationship between FSSB and boundary control. With a sample of 108 Portuguese and 118 Pakistani individuals, the results were analyzed using Process tool. FSSB was found to be important for teleworkers to control their boundaries and for their satisfaction with life and this control was also seen to contribute to higher levels of life satisfaction. Differences between the two countries were observed: boundary control mediates the relationship between FSSB and satisfaction with life for Pakistani teleworkers and these workers are more dependent on FSSB to exercise boundary control than Portuguese teleworkers. This study highlights the importance of considering contextual factors when implementing telework. Practical implications are discussed.

Fluid flow across a Riga Plate is a specialized phenomenon studied in boundary layer flow and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) applications. The Riga Plate is a magnetized surface used to manipulate boundary layer characteristics and control fluid flow properties. Understanding the behavior of fluid flow over a Riga Plate is critical in many applications, including aerodynamics, industrial, and heat transfer operations.

Identifying landscape patterns conducive to pollutant transport control is of vitally importance for water quality protection. However, it remains unclear which landscape patterns can weaken the transport capacity of pollutants entering water bodies. To fill this gap, this study proposes a new framework.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers are focusing on manipulating elastic waves in lower-dimensional mechanical metamaterials to design miniaturized elastic devices, but controlling these waves in higher dimensions is challenging.
- This study introduces a structural parameter to explore on-chip Weyl physics in a silicon-on-insulator system, creating an in-plane pseudomagnetic field that facilitates robust energy transport through chiral Landau levels.
- Unique boundary states are observed near the corners, differing from traditional topological states, and the use of synthetic dimensions allows for advanced multidimensional elastic wave manipulation and exploration of higher-dimensional physics on integrated platforms.
Noninvertible Symmetry-Resolved Affleck-Ludwig-Cardy Formula and Entanglement Entropy from the Boundary Tube Algebra.

Article Synopsis
- We refine the Affleck-Ludwig-Cardy formula for 1+1D conformal field theories, focusing on how high energy states relate to noninvertible global symmetries.
- We calculate the main contributions to the entanglement entropy for a system with noninvertible symmetries, specifically looking at a single interval.
- Using the critical double Ising model, we demonstrate that the ground state entanglement Hamiltonian exhibits a specific Hopf algebra symmetry when the system's boundary conditions reflect certain symmetries, and we provide the resulting symmetry-resolved entanglement entropies.
Asymptotic convergence for the dynamics of a Duffing-like oscillator under scaling analyses.
Chaos

IGCE-Physics Department, São Paulo State University (UNESP), 13506-900 Rio Claro, SP, Brazil.
The dynamics of the convergence for the stationary state considering a Duffing-like equation are investigated. The driven potential for these dynamics is supplied by a damped forced oscillator that has a piecewise linear function. Fixed points and their basins of attraction were identified and measured.
