“Is delulu the solulu?”: Understanding parasocial relationships and fan participatory behaviour in K-pop by Yeo, Jocelin Zhi Ling

“…The need to belong was also found to be a mediator of the relationship between parasocial relationship and the motivation to learn. The findings of this study broadened the scope of studies surrounding parasocial relationships as it explores the motivation to acquire skills, extending it beyond understanding consumer behaviour and well-being. …”

Astley's Amphitheatre and the early circus in England, 1768-1830 by Kwint, M

“…<p>Founded in Lambeth in 1768 by the ex-cavalry sergeant Philip Astley (1742-1814), Astley's was one of the first entertainments to mix traditional acrobatic feats with the new trick-riding in a ring, thus founding the modern circus. As the leading example of the artform, the permanent Amphitheatre just south of Westminster Bridge went on to be immortalised by Dickens and parodied by Punch, before closure in 1893. …”

Evolved P450 mutants as general oxidation catalysts by Harwood, LA

“…Improvements to a previous synthetic route, two routes based on a C(sp²)–C(sp²) bond disconnection and a final route constructing the aryl ring via Robinson annulation will be discussed.
