It is shown that the coupling of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) internal scalar field both to an external stabilizing bulk scalar field and to the geomagnetic field may explain the observed dispersion in laboratory measurements of the (effective) gravitational constant. Except the PTB 95 value, the predictions are found in good agreement with all of the experimental data. The cosmological variation of the fine-structure constant is also addressed.

Effective formation and implementation of forest policy can only be achieved with orientation to the most important goal—increasing society’s welfare. The global problem is, at present, that the impact of forests on society welfare indexes have not been identified. The aim of the study is to design an assessment model and assess the impact of Lithuanian forests on the society welfare index. The impact of forests was determined by multiplying the country’s welfare of society index by the forest contribution coefficient. In this study, to assess the index of the welfare of Lithuanian society, a five-dimensional model with 16 indicators was applied. The study is based on the Eurostat database and on Lithuanian forestry statistics. The Lithuanian welfare of society index calculated according to the model was 51.4% and the contribution of forests in this index was 3.9%. It represented 7.6% of the index of the welfare of society. Forests have the greatest impact in the environmental dimension, according to the assessment results.

We propose a mechanism that the soft supersymmetry breaking masses and μ parameter can be induced from the dynamical rearrangement of local U(1) symmetries in a five-dimensional model. It offers to a solution to μ problem if there is a large hierarchy among the relevant U(1) charge of Higgsinos and that of hidden fields which stabilize the extra-dimensional component of U(1) gauge boson.

Rotational analyses have been carried out for the (0,0) bands of the [Formula: see text] absorption systems of S16O2 and S18O2, from high dispersion plates taken with the gases at dry ice temperature. The rotational analysis of the (0,0) band of S16O2 given by Brand, Jones, and di Lauro is confirmed in general, but their values for the anisotropic electron spin fine structure constants are found to be in error. Our new values remove the discrepancy in the sign of the spin–spin interaction parameter β = E between the gas phase work and the solid state value given by Tinti. This discrepancy had been rationalized by Brand, Jones, and di Lauro in terms of a different choice of phases for the angular momentum operators, but this argument is shown to be incorrect. The spectrum of S18O2 confirms our new values for the spin constants in detail.

Understanding the complexity of sustainable fashion issues can be overwhelming and a barrier for fashion designers. A number of tools for sustainable fashion design have been developed to aid designers in the integration of sustainability into their design practices. We analyze these to determine their fitness for purpose. Among them, three categories (archetypes) of tools are identified: Universal, Participatory, and Assessment. We propose an innovation framework and a five-dimensional model of sustainability specific to fashion to facilitate the analysis of the tools. Using the archetype categorization may facilitate designers in identifying the most appropriate type of tool for a specific circumstance, depending on context and need.

This study examines the multidimensionality of spirituality by comparing the applicability of two models—the five-dimensional model of religiosity by Huber that we have extended with a sixth dimension of ethics and the three-dimensional spirituality model by Bucher. This qualitative study applied a semi-structured interview guideline of spirituality to a stratified sample of N = 48 secular individuals in Switzerland. To test these two models, frequency, valence, and contingency analysis of Mayring’s qualitative content analysis were used. It could be shown that Bucher’s three-dimensional model covers only about half of the spirituality codes in the interviews; it is especially applicable for implicit and salient spiritual aspects in general, as well as for spiritual experience in specific. In contrast, the extended six-dimensional model by Huber could be applied to almost all of the spirituality-relevant codes. Therefore, in principle, the scope of this six-dimensional model can be expanded to spirituality. The results are discussed in the context of future development of a multidimensional spirituality scale that is based on Huber’s Centrality of Religiosity by extending the religiosity concept to spirituality without mutually excluding these concepts from each other.

The N = 0→ 1 and N = 1 → 2 transitions of 13C14N have been observed in a rf glow discharge in a CO + N2 + He mixture cooled at liquid nitrogen temperature. The 41 measured frequencies have been used to determine the rotational and fine structure constants as well as the hyperfine structure due to the 13C and 14N nuclei. Relative line intensities have also been calculated with a view to interstellar detection.
