Personality disorders are divided into 3 clusters,that is, cluster A, cluster B and cluster C. Schizotypal personality disorder is included in cluster A along with paranoid and schizoid personality disorder.
Tyler Parker, a 15-year-old male, is being evaluated for schizotypal personality disorder. He displays signs such as odd thinking, inappropriate affect, peculiar behavior and appearance, lack of friends, and excessive social anxiety. Schizotypal personality disorder is characterized by social deficits, cognitive distortions, and odd behavior. It is diagnosed when at least five criteria from the DSM-IV-TR are met. Potential causes include genetic, social, and psychological factors. Treatment involves psychotherapy and medications.
Conversion disorder is characterized by neurological symptoms that cannot be explained by medical causes. Instead, psychological stressors are associated with the onset of symptoms. Patients are unaware of the psychological basis and cannot consciously control their symptoms. Common symptoms include paralysis, abnormal movements, seizures, and sensory disturbances. Diagnosis involves ruling out physical disorders and assessing for dissociation. Treatment options include psychotherapy, hypnosis, and supportive therapy.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in defining and classifying abnormal behavior from a psychopathology perspective. It discusses debates around what constitutes normal versus abnormal behavior and outlines some of the challenges in categorization. Elements used to define abnormality are described, including behaviors that are deviant, distressing, dysfunctional, dangerous, unpredictable or violate social norms. Cultural aspects and the influence of attitudes and stigma are also touched on. A brief history of understanding and treating abnormal behavior is given from ancient to modern times.
Trauma and stressor-related disorders include reactive attachment disorder, disinhibited social engagement disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, acute stress disorder, adjustment disorder and others. These disorders result from experiences like childhood abuse, neglect, family conflict or other traumatic events. Symptoms vary but can include emotional or behavioral problems, difficulty bonding with caregivers, intrusive memories of the traumatic event and physical or emotional symptoms like depression, anxiety, and changes in sleeping or eating patterns. Treatment involves psychotherapy, stress management techniques, medication management and lifestyle changes to help people adapt and recover from traumatic experiences.
The document outlines the ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia, which requires the presence of two or more of the following symptoms: thought echo, thought insertion or withdrawal, thought broadcasting, delusions of control or influence or passivity, auditory hallucinations discussing the patient, bizarre delusions, persistent hallucinations with fleeting delusions, thought disorganization, catatonic behavior, negative symptoms, or a change in personal behavior. The criteria are grouped into five categories, with each category requiring two of the listed symptoms or one symptom.
This document discusses crisis, crisis intervention, and the stages of crisis development. It defines a crisis as a sudden event that disrupts homeostasis and normal coping mechanisms. A crisis involves heightened anxiety, acute symptoms, and potential for growth or deterioration. The stages of crisis include impact, recoil, and post-traumatic periods. Crisis intervention aims to resolve the immediate crisis and restore pre-crisis functioning through assessment, planning interventions, and implementing reality-oriented support.
The document provides information about schizophrenia, including its definition, symptoms, diagnosis, course, treatment, and etiology. Some key points:
- Schizophrenia is defined by positive and negative symptoms that last at least 6 months and cause deterioration in functioning.
- It affects about 1% of the population and typically emerges in late adolescence/early adulthood.
- Symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech and behavior, emotional blunting, and lack of motivation.
- Treatment involves antipsychotic medication and psychosocial support like therapy. The exact causes are unknown but are thought to involve genetic and environmental factors impacting brain development.
This document provides information on obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and obsessive compulsive spectrum disorder. It discusses the definitions of obsessions and compulsions according to DSM-5. It also covers the epidemiology, comorbidities, neurobiological causes, diagnostic criteria, and treatment options for OCD which include psychotherapy such as exposure and response prevention, and pharmacotherapy with medications like SSRIs, TCAs, and augmentation agents.

The document discusses the history and evolution of somatic symptom and related disorders. It describes how concepts like hysteria, hypochondriasis, and psychosomatic disorders developed before being categorized under somatic symptom disorder, illness anxiety disorder, conversion disorder, and other diagnoses in DSM-5. It provides details on the characteristic symptoms, thresholds, and specifiers for each DSM-5 disorder category. Theories on the causes of related conditions like pseudocyesis are also summarized.
Trauma and stressor related disorders include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder. Trauma can result from extremely distressing experiences like accidents, deaths, or rape that cause severe emotional shock and long-lasting psychological effects. Symptoms include nightmares, anxiety, depression, guilt, anger, and substance abuse. Predisposing factors include characteristics of the traumatic experience itself, individual traits like coping abilities or preexisting conditions, and aspects of the recovery environment like social support. Treatment involves cognitive therapy, prolonged exposure therapy, group therapy, EMDR, and psychopharmacology with medications like antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs.
The document summarizes some of the key differences between the DSM-IV and DSM-5 diagnostic systems. Some of the main changes include:
- The DSM-5 removed the multiaxial system that was used in DSM-IV.
- Several disorders were renamed or reclassified, such as moving obsessive compulsive disorder into its own category.
- New diagnoses were added, like disruptive mood dysregulation disorder in children.
- Criteria for some existing diagnoses were modified, like changing the criteria for anorexia nervosa and bipolar disorders.
- The DSM-5 aimed to provide more clinical utility and address criticisms of the DSM-IV system.
This document summarizes a seminar on depression presented by Syeda Shahnaz from the Dept. of Clinical Psychology at LGBRIMH, Tezpur. It discusses various types of psychotherapy used to treat depression, including interpersonal psychotherapy, behavioral activation, cognitive behavioral therapy, problem solving therapy, psychodynamic therapy, social skills therapy, and supportive counseling. It also outlines biological, stress, temperament, cognitive, and psychoanalytic theories of the causes and maintenance of depression. Key symptoms and features of clinical depression are described.
This document defines and describes delusional disorder. It is characterized by non-bizarre delusions that have persisted for at least one month without significant impairment in functioning. There are several proposed causes including biological and psychosocial factors. Various subtypes are identified based on the predominant delusional theme, such as erotomanic, grandiose, jealous, persecutory, and somatic delusions. The diagnostic criteria require non-bizarre delusions for at least one month without symptoms meeting criteria for schizophrenia.
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a psychological disorder where patients are excessively concerned about a perceived flaw in their physical appearance. BDD was first described in the late 19th century and is now recognized by the American Psychiatric Association. It affects about 0.7-3% of the population and commonly presents in dental practices. Patients with BDD may request cosmetic procedures but are rarely satisfied with treatment outcomes and their concerns typically shift to another body part. The disorder is best managed through cognitive behavioral therapy and medication rather than further cosmetic treatments.

This document provides an overview of schizophrenia, including:
1. Schizophrenia is a type of psychosis characterized by symptoms like delusions and hallucinations that cause a loss of touch with reality.
2. It is diagnosed based on symptoms present for at least one month in the absence of other conditions. Key symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech/behavior, and negative symptoms.
3. Risk factors include genetic predisposition as well as environmental factors like prenatal infections, drug use, and head injuries. It affects about 1% of the population and typically emerges between ages 15-35.
Depression is a state of low mood and loss of interest that affects thoughts, feelings, and physical health. It is characterized by feelings of sadness, anxiety, guilt, and fatigue. Depression is a common disorder that affects about 15% of the population. It has various causes such as genetic factors, neurotransmitter imbalances, life stressors, and lack of social support. Treatments include antidepressant medication, psychotherapy, and physical therapies like electroconvulsive therapy. Preventing depression involves managing stress, getting social support, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in psychoanalytic therapy. It discusses Sigmund Freud and the development of psychoanalysis. Some main points covered include:
- Freud developed psychoanalytic theory and concepts like the unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, psychosexual stages of development, and the id, ego, and superego.
- Psychoanalytic therapy aims to make the unconscious conscious to understand conflicts and gain insight. Techniques include free association, dream analysis, and analysis of transference.
- The therapeutic relationship and transference are important, as are maintaining the analytic framework and using interpretation of unconscious material.
- Both the client's experience undergoing long-term therapy and the therapist's role of listening
Psychodynamic perspective of schizophreniaBidisha Haque
Freud believed that schizophrenia was caused by regression to an early mental state due to an inability to cope with unacceptable urges. Later psychodynamic theorists, like Sullivan, argued that schizophrenia results from a gradual withdrawal from relationships that begins with an anxious and hostile parent-child relationship in early childhood. This withdrawal continues in a cycle until early adulthood, when new social demands cause such extreme anxiety that the person disengages completely from relationships and reality.

Mental retardation is a developmental disability characterized by below average intelligence and impaired daily living skills. It is typically present from birth or early childhood. There are four levels of mental retardation based on IQ scores: mild, moderate, severe, and profound. Common causes include genetic conditions like Down syndrome, problems during pregnancy such as alcohol exposure, and infectious diseases. Prevention strategies include improving nutrition, universal immunization, and avoiding pregnancy in very young or older women.
The aim of this presentation is to look at and consider the impact of ACEs. Childhood experiences affect us all, but some children are so 'dosed' with abuse and neglect that they grow to be damaged and damaging adults.

This document discusses seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also known as winter depression or winter blues. It provides synonyms, classification, symptoms, causes, complications, diagnosis criteria, miasmatic analysis, rubrics for homeopathic treatment, and potential remedies. SAD is characterized by depression that occurs at a specific time of year, usually winter, and is related to lack of sunlight and serotonin levels. Symptoms include oversleeping, overeating carbohydrates, lack of energy, and withdrawal. It can potentially lead to depression, hopelessness, lack of pleasure, and in severe cases, suicidal thoughts. Homeopathic remedies mentioned for treatment include Phosphorus, Sulphur, Hepar sulph, Sil
This document discusses defense mechanisms and coping skills. It differentiates between defenses, which protect individuals from threats until they can be addressed, and coping skills, which help change situations or reactions to situations. The document provides examples of common defenses like denial, avoidance, and projection. It also outlines cognitive, physical, environmental and interpersonal coping skills like mindfulness, encouragement, and changing beliefs. Activities are suggested to help clients identify defenses and coping skills, understand their purpose, and prevent issues from building up over time through journaling and mindfulness.
This document provides information on Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. It discusses skepticism around DID and explains that dissociation exists on a spectrum from mild daydreaming to more severe identity fragmentation. The document outlines characteristics of DID like disturbances in identity, existence of distinct alters, and types of relationships between alters. Causes like childhood trauma and abuse are explored, as are popular portrayals of DID in films and books. Assessment tools, integration in therapy, and two case studies of individuals with DID are summarized.
Personality disorders are patterns of inflexible thinking and behavior that deviate from cultural expectations. They are categorized into three clusters based on similar characteristics. Cluster A disorders include paranoid, schizoid, and schizotypal personality disorders. Cluster B disorders include histrionic, narcissistic, antisocial, and borderline personality disorders. Cluster C disorders include avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. Research on personality disorders faces difficulties in diagnosis and studying causes. Treatments may include psychotherapy.

This document provides an overview of delusional disorder, including its definition, history, epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, types, clinical features, differential diagnosis, course, prognosis, and treatment. Delusional disorder involves non-bizarre delusions without hallucinations or other symptoms of schizophrenia. It has a prevalence of about 0.03% and typically onset in middle age. The cause is unknown but may involve biological and psychosocial factors. Treatment involves antipsychotic medication, psychotherapy, and sometimes hospitalization. Prognosis is generally stable but depends on factors like age of onset and delusional type.
Schizotypal personality disorder and its psychodynamic perspectivesarah rashid
Schizotypal personality disorder is characterized by social deficits, discomfort with relationships, and cognitive/perceptual distortions. It likely stems from genetic, biological, and social factors such as childhood humiliation or distant parenting. Symptoms include ideas of reference, odd beliefs, unusual perceptions, odd thinking/speech, suspiciousness, eccentric behavior, and lack of friends. Psychodynamically, it may relate to issues with Freud's psychosexual stages or Erikson's stages of trust, industry, and intimacy. Differential diagnosis considers disorders with psychotic features or other personality disorders. A case study describes a 15-year-old male client exhibiting odd beliefs, perceptions, thinking, behavior and social anxiety.
Here are the key points I would consider in formulating a differential diagnosis based on the information provided:
- The beliefs expressed about the daycare and workplace engaging in conspiracies to dock pay or charge extra fees suggest paranoid or persecutory thoughts.
- No other psychotic symptoms like hallucinations are reported, making schizophrenia less likely as the primary diagnosis.
- The paranoid ideas are relatively circumscribed to these two situations rather than a more generalized paranoid ideation, making persecutory delusional disorder a possibility.
- More information would be needed about the severity and persistence of the paranoid beliefs as well as their impact on functioning to determine if they meet criteria for a delusional disorder versus being better characterized

It addresses disorders such as paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal, borderline, antisocial, and others. The document contains detailed descriptions and considerations for diagnosing each personality disorder.
MPD, also known as Dissociative Identity Disorder or DID, is characterized by a person's identity fragmenting into two or more distinct personalities. It is caused by severe physical and psychological trauma, often abuse, in early childhood. The diagnosis requires evidence of distinct personalities along with memory gaps that are too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness. While some question if it is real, psychologists who treat MPD patients believe the disorder manifests real suffering in those diagnosed.

List and define Clusters: A, B, and C criteria and treatment
Personality disorder are a group of mental health conditions that are characterized by inflexible and atypical patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.
Personality disorders are characterized by enduring maladaptive patterns of behavior, cognition and inner experience that deviate significantly from the expectations of one's culture. There are several personality disorders classified in the ICD-10 and DSM-IV systems including paranoid, schizoid, borderline, histrionic and narcissistic disorders. Nursing interventions focus on providing a safe environment, explaining rules consistently, identifying triggers, monitoring for suicidal ideation and developing alternative coping strategies to dysfunctional behaviors.
There are 10 personality disorders classified into 3 clusters: A) odd/eccentric behavior, B) dramatic/emotional behavior, and C) anxious/fearful behavior. Some disorders include paranoid personality disorder, characterized by distrust and suspiciousness, and avoidant personality disorder, characterized by social inhibition and feelings of inadequacy. Treatment may involve medication, psychotherapy, social skills training, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
REACTION TO STRESS DISORDER AND ADJUSTMENT DISORDERSdivya2709
This document discusses acute stress reaction disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It defines acute stress reaction as being characterized by anxiety, despair and anger related to a clearly identifiable stressor. PTSD is defined as anxiety symptoms, trauma reexperiencing, and stimulus avoidance lasting over 4 weeks after a traumatic event. Adjustment disorders are also covered, including types like with anxiety or depressed mood. Treatment involves relieving symptoms associated with the stressor and enhancing coping skills.
This document discusses gender development from biological and social perspectives. It defines sex as biologically determined sexual anatomy, while gender is culturally determined and refers to one's sense of masculinity or femininity. Gender identity develops through childhood as children learn appropriate gender roles and schemas. Theories discussed include Freud's psychosexual stages, Kohlberg's cognitive gender theory, and Bem's sex-role inventory. Conditions like Klinefelter syndrome and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome are also examined in relation to gender development. The document analyzes how gender stereotypes form and influence relationships and privileges.
Erik Erikson developed 8 stages of psychosocial development that occur throughout the lifespan. Each stage involves resolving a crisis between two opposing tendencies, such as trust vs mistrust in infancy. Successful completion of each stage leads to a healthy personality and the ability to progress to the next stage. Lawrence Kohlberg also developed a theory of moral development consisting of 3 levels and 6 stages, from preconventional to conventional to postconventional reasoning. Both theorists viewed development as progressive and believed nurturing environments allow individuals to successfully complete each stage or level.
This document discusses personality disorders (PDs), which involve long-term maladaptive behaviors that cause dysfunction. PDs are characterized by inflexible responses to stress, relationship difficulties, interpersonal conflicts, and frustration of others. The document outlines the DSM-IV classification of PDs into clusters A, B, and C and discusses epidemiology, assessment, diagnosis, outcomes, planning, and treatment of these complex conditions.
Personality disorders involve long-term maladaptive behaviors that cause dysfunction. People with personality disorders have inflexible responses to stress, difficulties in relationships, tend to cause conflict, and frustrate others. They are classified into three clusters - A, B, and C - based on their behaviors. Personality disorders commonly co-occur with other psychiatric disorders and have an onset in adolescence or early adulthood. Assessment, diagnosis, and treatment focus on managing dysfunctional behaviors and improving coping strategies.
This document provides information about personality disorders as categorized in the DSM-5. It discusses 10 specific personality disorders separated into 3 clusters: odd/eccentric, dramatic/emotional/erratic, and anxious/fearful. For each cluster, it describes some representative disorders and their diagnostic criteria. It notes that personality disorders typically emerge in adolescence/early adulthood and can be difficult to treat. The document also discusses issues with the categorical approach to personality disorders and limitations in reliability and validity. It provides some information about prevalence, risk factors, differential diagnosis, and treatments for several specific disorders.
abnormal psychology personality and gender disorderSaalini Vellivel

Personality Disoder by Jayesh Patidar.pptxJayesh Patidar
This document provides information on personality disorders according to the DSM-IV-TR. It discusses what personality and personality disorders are, and defines personality as predictable responses and behaviors to one's environment. Personality disorders are characterized by inflexible behaviors that differ from cultural expectations and cause impairment. The document outlines three clusters of personality disorders - A, B, and C - and provides details on paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal, antisocial, histrionic and narcissistic personality disorders, including key signs, symptoms, epidemiology, characteristics, etiology and classification.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
