Career decision-making is a socio-technical problem: individuals exercise bounded agency while navigating labor market institutions, organizational incentive structures, and information asymmetries that shape feasible trajectories. Existing frameworks optimize along single dimensions - financial returns, work-life balance, or mission alignment - without explicit models for inter-dimensional tradeoffs or temporal dynamics. We propose The Three Axes of Success, a normative decision framework decomposing career trajectories into Wealth (career capital accumulation and economic optionality), Autonomy (control over task selection, temporal allocation, and strategic direction), and Meaning (counterfactual social impact scaled by problem importance and personal replaceability). We formalize coupling dynamics between axes: the adjacent possible mechanism by which skill frontiers enable mission discovery, creating nonlinear Wealth -> Meaning transitions; autonomy prerequisites where insufficient career capital triggers control traps; and dual-career household constraints that yield Pareto-suboptimal Nash equilibria under independent optimization. We operationalize each axis through measurable proxies, analyze prototypical career archetypes - industrial R&D, academia, entrepreneurship - as points in (W, A, M)-space, and derive sequential versus simultaneous optimization strategies under uncertainty. The framework converts implicit career anxiety into explicit multi-objective optimization problems with satisficing thresholds, structuring the human-system interaction between individual deliberation and institutional constraints. This provides the first unified decision-theoretic treatment of career success, integrating insights from human capital theory, self-determination theory, and effective altruism into a coherent architecture for rational career design.

Conventional career guidance platforms rely on static, text-driven interfaces that struggle to engage users or deliver personalised, evidence-based insights. Although Computer-Assisted Career Guidance Systems have evolved since the 1960s, they remain limited in interactivity and pay little attention to the narrative dimensions of career development. We introduce XR-CareerAssist, a platform that unifies Extended Reality (XR) with several Artificial Intelligence (AI) modules to deliver immersive, multilingual career guidance. The system integrates Automatic Speech Recognition for voice-driven interaction, Neural Machine Translation across English, Greek, French, and Italian, a Langchain-based conversational Training Assistant for personalised dialogue, a BLIP-based Vision-Language model for career visualisations, and AWS Polly Text-to-Speech delivered through an interactive 3D avatar. Career trajectories are rendered as dynamic Sankey diagrams derived from a repository of more than 100,000 anonymised professional profiles. The application was built in Unity for Meta Quest 3, with backend services hosted on AWS. A pilot evaluation at the University of Exeter with 23 participants returned 95.6% speech recognition accuracy, 78.3% overall user satisfaction, and 91.3% favourable ratings for system responsiveness, with feedback informing subsequent improvements to motion comfort, audio clarity, and text legibility. XR-CareerAssist demonstrates how the fusion of XR and AI can produce more engaging, accessible, and effective career development tools, with the integration of five AI modules within a single immersive environment yielding a multimodal interaction experience that distinguishes it from existing career guidance platforms.

Astrotourism has emerged as a powerful cross sectoral tool to promote science education, sustainable economic development, and cultural exchange. Recognising its potential, the International Astronomical Union's Office of Astronomy for Development (IAU OAD) has developed a suite of openly accessible resources to support individuals and institutions interested in implementing astrotourism initiatives globally. These resources also encourage individuals and existing businesses to broaden their offerings to include activities that use the night sky as a backdrop, such as food experiences, wellness practices, and cultural exploration. This paper offers a comprehensive summary of these resources, available on the OAD's Astrotourism Portal, and situates them within the broader context of astronomy for development work. The paper is targeted at educators, policymakers, tourism operators, grassroots organisers, and entrepreneurs, providing guidance on how they can foster inclusive, locally grounded, and sustainable astrotourism efforts, particularly in underresourced or emerging contexts.

Astronomy, often perceived as a distant or luxury science, holds immense potential as a driver for sustainable local socio-economic development. This paper explores how astronomy can create tangible benefits for communities through education, tourism, technology transfer, and capacity building. Using case studies from South Africa, Chile, Indonesia, and India, we demonstrate how astronomical facilities and initiatives have stimulated local economies, generated employment, supported small enterprises, and enhanced STEM participation, while simultaneously inspiring a sense of shared global heritage. The analysis identifies both successes and challenges, including unequal benefit distribution, limited local ownership, and sustainability gaps once external funding ends. Building on these lessons, we propose a practical framework/guidelines for designing, implementing, and evaluating astronomy-based community initiatives, rooted in participatory engagement and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper positions astronomy as a catalyst for inclusive growth, demonstrating that investment in the cosmos can translate into grounded, measurable benefits for people and places on Earth.

This article is an engineering note, and formal abstract is omitted in accordance with the requirements of the journal. The main idea of this note is as follows. In endoatmospheric landing of reusable rockets, there exist various kinds of disturbances that can induce the trajectory dispersion. The trajectory dispersion propagates with flight time and ultimately determines landing accuracy. Therefore, to achieve high-precision landing, this note proposes a novel online trajectory dispersion control method. Based on a Parameterized Optimal Feedback Guidance Law (POFGL), two key components of the proposed method are designed: online trajectory dispersion prediction and real-time guidance parameter tuning for trajectory dispersion optimization. First, by formalizing a parameterized probabilistic disturbance model, the closed-loop trajectory dispersion under the POFGL is predicted online. Compared with the covariance control guidance method, a more accurate trajectory dispersion prediction is achieved by using generalized Polynomial Chaos (gPC) expansion and pseudospectral collocation methods. Second, to ensure computational efficiency, a gradient descent based real-time guidance parameter tuning law is designed to simultaneously optimize the performance index and meet the landing error dispersion constraint, which significantly reduces the conservativeness of guidance design compared with the robust trajectory optimization method. Numerical simulations indicate that the trajectory dispersion prediction method can achieve the same accuracy as the Monte Carlo method with smaller computational resource; the guidance parameter tuning law can improve the optimal performance index and meet the desired accuracy requirements through directly shaping the trajectory dispersion.

Advancements in diffusion models have significantly improved video quality, directing attention to fine-grained controllability. However, many existing methods depend on fine-tuning large-scale video models for specific tasks, which becomes increasingly impractical as model sizes continue to grow. In this work, we present Frame Guidance, a training-free guidance for controllable video generation based on frame-level signals, such as keyframes, style reference images, sketches, or depth maps. For practical training-free guidance, we propose a simple latent processing method that dramatically reduces memory usage, and apply a novel latent optimization strategy designed for globally coherent video generation. Frame Guidance enables effective control across diverse tasks, including keyframe guidance, stylization, and looping, without any training, compatible with any video models. Experimental results show that Frame Guidance can produce high-quality controlled videos for a wide range of tasks and input signals.

Aerocapture is sensitive to trajectory errors, particularly for low-cost missions with imprecise navigation. For such missions, considering the probability of each failure mode when computing guidance commands can increase performance. A risk-aware aerocapture guidance algorithm is proposed that uses a generative-modeling-based probabilistic indicator function to estimate escape, impact, or capture probabilities. The probability of each mode is incorporated into corrective guidance commands to increase the likelihood of successful capture. The proposed method is evaluated against state-of-the-art numeric predictor-corrector guidance algorithms in high-uncertainty scenarios where entry interface dispersions lead to nontrivial failure probabilities. When using a probabilistic indicator function in guidance, 69% to 100% of recoverable cases are saved in near-escape and near-impact scenarios. In addition, the probabilistic indicator is compared to a first-order fading memory filter for density estimation, showing improvements in apoapsis error even when a fading filter is included. The probabilistic indicator function can also accurately predict failure probability for dispersions outside its training data, showing generalizability. The proposed risk-aware aerocapture guidance algorithm improves capture performance and robustness to entry interface state dispersions, especially for missions with high navigation uncertainty.

Denoising diffusion models excel at generating high-quality images conditioned on text prompts, yet their effectiveness heavily relies on careful guidance during the sampling process. Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) provides a widely used mechanism for steering generation by setting the guidance scale, which balances image quality and prompt alignment. However, the choice of the guidance scale has a critical impact on the convergence toward a visually appealing and prompt-adherent image. In this work, we propose an annealing guidance scheduler which dynamically adjusts the guidance scale over time based on the conditional noisy signal. By learning a scheduling policy, our method addresses the temperamental behavior of CFG. Empirical results demonstrate that our guidance scheduler significantly enhances image quality and alignment with the text prompt, advancing the performance of text-to-image generation. Notably, our novel scheduler requires no additional activations or memory consumption, and can seamlessly replace the common classifier-free guidance, offering an improved trade-off between prompt alignment and quality.

Background: Life Orientation educators hold great responsibility for the well-being of their students, which can be supported through imparting sexuality education. However, the absence of formal training for this subject may have negative consequences in fulfilling professional duties. Objectives: This article intends to foreground how Life Orientation educators impart sexuality education to their students, exploring aspects of their personal attitudes and comfort in imparting education related to sexuality and queerness. Methods: This qualitative study consisted of five Life Orientation educators in the Gauteng Province to understand their approaches to impart sexuality education to their students and the influence of their personal upbringings. The research was thematically analysed through a systems theory framework. Results: The results emphasise how personal religious beliefs impact sexuality education’s delivery and educators’ discretion in implementing the curriculum. The ambiguity of the curriculum and diverse teaching backgrounds also contribute to avoidance of topics like sexuality education and queer identities. Moreover, the non-examinable nature of these topics, combined with subjective interpretations of age-appropriateness, further marginalise them. Conclusion: This article calls for awareness of the consequences of religious convictions and subjective perceptions of age-appropriateness of educators on the delivery of sexuality and queer education. Contribution: This study contributes by highlighting challenges faced by Life Orientation educators in creating inclusive environments when personal religious beliefs conflict with comprehensive sexuality education. It enhances understanding of areas for improvement in training and subject knowledge to ensure educators affirm diverse identities and impart sexuality education effectively.

Background: The Namibian High Court’s judgment 2023 in favour of same-sex marriage has created significant volatility in the country, considering the Life Skills curriculum’s call for affirmative teaching of sexual diversity education. Objectives: This study examined how the provisions made in the Life Skills curriculum to teach affirmative sexual diversity education could be affected by the tension created by the High Court’s judgment. Using intersectionality theory, the study explored how cultural, religious, political, and professional intersections influence teachers in implementing policy. Methods: Qualitative data were collected over four weeks from 10 Life Skills teachers through semi structured interviews. Sampling was purposive because only 4 secondary schools in town schools and 5 in rural schools was selected were the teachers had at least 3 years teaching experience in Life Skills. Study employed a qualitative research design and an intersectional lens. Results: Amidst the volatile environment with varying intersections, teachers were conflicted and uncomfortable teaching gender and sexual diversity education while aware of the intersectional influences on them. Amidst the anxiety of inclusively address to discourse of sexual diversity. In the Life Skills classroom, teachers continued to present a message of affirmation, care and support as a duty to all learners. Conclusion: This article calls for awareness of the intersectional challenges teachers face in delivering the Life Skills curriculum, specifically the sexual diversity topics. Teacher educators and staff development interventions should focus on creating knowledge about intersections to gain a better understanding and improve teaching and learning platforms. Contribution: As educators dealing with children daily Life Skills must become conscious of existing intersectionality and how it affects their work. They must use this knowledge to create safe spaces for the learners.

Many students who are confused about choosing a career after completing their vocational education level are influenced by the lack of career information counselors provide. This research aims to develop and test the practicality of a career information service module for determining career choices for SMK students. This research belongs to the type of development research that was developed using the ADDIE model. The ADDIE development model comprises five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects involved in this study were three experts in the field of counseling guidance, two guidance counseling teachers, and 30 students. Data collection in the study was carried out using observation and questionnaire methods, with research instruments in the form of questionnaire product validity sheets about career selection. The data obtained in the study were then analyzed using product validity analysis techniques using the CVR method, followed by calculating the CVI. The product acceptance test was analyzed using PAIT analysis. To determine the module's effectiveness, the data were analyzed by t-test with the help of SPSS Windows 20. The results obtained in the study showed that the sig score was 0.677. This probability score is smaller than the 0.05 significance level. These results indicate that the career information service module effectively determines career choices for SMK students.

In line with the Astro2020 Decadal Report State of the Profession findings and the NASA core value of Inclusion, the NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Bridge Program was created to provide financial and programmatic support to efforts that work to increase the representation and inclusion of students from under-represented minorities in the STEM fields. To ensure an effective program, particularly for those who are often left out of these conversations, the NASA SMD Bridge Program Workshop was developed as a way to gather feedback from a diverse group of people about their unique needs and interests. The Early Career Perspectives Working Group was tasked with examining the current state of bridge programs, academia in general, and its effect on students and early career professionals. The working group, comprised of 10 early career and student members, analyzed the discussions and responses from workshop breakout sessions and two surveys, as well as their own experiences, to develop specific recommendations and metrics for implementing a successful and supportive bridge program. In this white paper, we will discuss the key themes that arose through our work, and highlight select recommendations for the NASA SMD Bridge Program to best support students and early career professionals.

DDIM inversion has revealed the remarkable potential of real image editing within diffusion-based methods. However, the accuracy of DDIM reconstruction degrades as larger classifier-free guidance (CFG) scales being used for enhanced editing. Null-text inversion (NTI) optimizes null embeddings to align the reconstruction and inversion trajectories with larger CFG scales, enabling real image editing with cross-attention control. Negative-prompt inversion (NPI) further offers a training-free closed-form solution of NTI. However, it may introduce artifacts and is still constrained by DDIM reconstruction quality. To overcome these limitations, we propose proximal guidance and incorporate it to NPI with cross-attention control. We enhance NPI with a regularization term and reconstruction guidance, which reduces artifacts while capitalizing on its training-free nature. Additionally, we extend the concepts to incorporate mutual self-attention control, enabling geometry and layout alterations in the editing process. Our method provides an efficient and straightforward approach, effectively addressing real image editing tasks with minimal computational overhead.

Recent diffusion-based generators can produce high-quality images from textual prompts. However, they often disregard textual instructions that specify the spatial layout of the composition. We propose a simple approach that achieves robust layout control without the need for training or fine-tuning of the image generator. Our technique manipulates the cross-attention layers that the model uses to interface textual and visual information and steers the generation in the desired direction given, e.g., a user-specified layout. To determine how to best guide attention, we study the role of attention maps and explore two alternative strategies, forward and backward guidance. We thoroughly evaluate our approach on three benchmarks and provide several qualitative examples and a comparative analysis of the two strategies that demonstrate the superiority of backward guidance compared to forward guidance, as well as prior work. We further demonstrate the versatility of layout guidance by extending it to applications such as editing the layout and context of real images.

This paper explores the phenomenon of mid-career stuckness through a grounded theory approach to the analysis of in-depth qualitative interviews with five life science professionals in the midst of their career. The study shows that career stuckness is an emotion, a long-lasting, complex sense of professional unfulfilment and stagnation in a job or career path. At the same time, however, it is also a situation, in that the individual is subject to labour market conditions and discourses regarding successful or expected career development – external circumstances which they cannot control, but to which they must actively relate. The experience of career stuckness is rooted in corporate and labour market structures and an understanding of ‘a good career’ as a linear and upward process. Abstrakt Denne artikel undersøger fænomenet fastbrændthed. Artiklens analyse bygger på grounded theory og analyserer dybdegående, kvalitative interview med fem life science akademikere midt i karrieren. Studiet viser, at fastbrændthed i karrieren er en emotion; en langvarig, kompleks oplevelse af faglig uforløsthed og stagnation i et job eller et karrierespor. Samtidig er det en situation; idet individet er under indflydelse af vilkår på arbejdsmarkedet for mennesker midt i karrieren, og påvirket af diskurser om, hvad der udgør succesfuld karriereudvikling. Det er ydre omstændigheder, som de ikke kan styre, men som de må forholde sig aktivt til. Fastbrændthed er forbundet til forståelse af ‘en god karriere’, som en lineært opadgående proces, og til arbejdsmarkedsstrukturer og lokal organisering i virksomheder.

About two-third of Physics PhDs establish careers outside of academia and the national laboratories in areas like Software, Instrumentation, Data Science, Finance, Healthcare, Journalism, Public Policy and Non-Governmental Organization. Skills and knowledge developed during HEPA (High Energy Physics and Astrophysics) research as an undergraduate, graduate or a postdoc level (collectively called early career) have been long sought after in industry. These skills are complex problem solving abilities, software programming, data analysis, math, statistics and scientific writing, to name a few. Given that a vast majority transition to the industry jobs, existing paths for such transition should be strengthened and new ways of facilitating it be identified and developed. A strong engagement between HEPA and its alumni would be a pre-requisite for this. It might also lead to creative ways to reverse the "brain drain" by encouraging alumni to collaborate on HEPA research projects or possibly come back full time to research. We motivate and discuss below several actionable recommendations by which HEPA institutions as well as HEPA faculty mentors can strengthen both ability to identify non-HEP career opportunities for students and post-docs as well as help more fully develop skills such as effective networking, resume building, project management, risk assessment, budget planning, to name a few. This will help prepare early career HEPA scientists for successfully transitioning from academia to the diverse array of non-traditional careers available. HEPA alumni can play a pivotal role by engaging in this process.
