This study explores the barriers that Gen Z individuals with SpLDs encounter in art museums. Through semi-structured interviews and eye-tracking studies, the research identifies key pain points. The article outlines barriers in museums, highlighting Gen Z's perceptions and experiences. It features a case study of visitor journeys during an exhibition at Gočár Gallery in Pardubice, Czechia, offering recommendations for fostering a more inclusive and enriching museum experience.

Our experiment involved a presentation that introduced students to the distinctions between tense (present, past, future) and aspect (progressive, perfective) through a compositional approach, combining tense with one aspect at a time, followed by brief practice. To measure learning outcomes, we conducted a pretest four weeks before the classroom presentation, a posttest the same day, and a delayed posttest four weeks after the presentation. A questionnaire was also distributed to get learners’ feedback about the presentation. The results suggest that our proposed instructional model benefits early EFL learners of grammar by improving their understanding of tense and aspect through reduced cognitive overload. However, more advanced students already exposed to the traditional 12-tense model showed less improvement. These findings highlight the need for an overall shift away from the traditional 12-tense model, but with a gradual instructional transition for experienced learners. © 2026 Dagmar Masár Machová, Zdena Kráľová, Svitlana Shurma & Jana Inselseth.

The initial contact electrification creates an interfacial charge state that is retained after contact, allowing subsequent separation changes to generate electrical signals via electrostatic induction without requiring continuous contact. The introduction low-permittivity sublayers (polyvinyl chloride (PVC), biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET), and low-density polyethylene (LDPE)) beneath the tribonegative PVDF membrane significantly enhances the TENG’s mechano-electric performance by modifying the electric field distribution in the multilayer dielectric structure. The PP/PVDF+LDPE layer achieves a peak open-circuit voltage of 689 V and a maximum power density of 5.46 mWcm⁻² in comparison to 376 V and 2.05 mWcm⁻², respectively, for PP/PVDF. This confirms that the dielectric permittivity of the supporting layer is a key parameter controlling the electrical output of the PP/PVDF triboelectric system. The device was validated under various pressure stimuli and vibrations demonstrating its ability to simultaneously sense motion and harvest energy.

This study focused on the use of methyl 5-(dimethylamino)-2-methyl-5-oxopentanoate (MDMO) as an environmentally-friendly alternative to N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) for the preparation of thin polysulfone films. The correlation between the thickness of the prepared membranes and the concentration and viscosity of the polymer solutions used was evaluated. Attention was also paid to the presence of residual solvents, which were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, headspace gas chromatography, and dynamic mechanical analysis. Gas permeation measurements were performed for three gases (CO2, N2 and O2) with different kinetic diameters of molecules. Although MDMO proved to be a good solvent for polysulfone, the tested cast films did not exhibit the same gas permeability as membranes prepared from polysulfone solutions based on N-methylpyrrolidone. http://hdl.handle.net/10563/1012857
