Summary: Recently, there have been severe environmental changes, including global warming, climate change, and environmental pollution, making environmental education more essential. The purpose of environmental education is to raise awareness among students to recognize and address environmental problems. Virtual reality offers students a realistic spatial and temporal experience, enhancing their understanding through immersion and interaction compared to traditional learning. This research proposes an immersive virtual reality simulation for environmental education based on a virtual ecosystem model and presents two applications developed from this simulation. It aims to encourage students' active participation and motivation in solving environmental problems while experiencing the consequences of environmental interactions in a virtual environment.

Summary: This systematic review compared the effects of immersive and non-immersive virtual reality on upper extremity function in stroke survivors. The results showed that immersive virtual reality systems were the most effective at improving upper extremity function, followed by non-immersive virtual reality systems, and non-immersive gaming consoles such as Microsoft Kinect and Nintendo Wii were the least effective. Conventional rehabilitation had the poorest outcomes.

Summary: Immersive virtual reality based on head-mounted displays is a key interaction technology in the future metaverse. Avatar appearance affects embodiment and presence, but little research has been done on the similarity between an avatar's face and the user's face. In an experiment with young adults, it was found that higher similarity between an avatar's face and the user's face leads to a better sense of embodiment, with no significant difference in presence. There is a significant correlation between presence and embodiment, indicating their intertwined factors contributing to the user's experience in immersive VR.

Summary: Based on the RV continuum and S-O-R framework, this study compared the effects of AR and VR on vividness/interactivity, sense of presence, sensory brand app experience, attitude, and behavioral intention. The results showed that a sense of presence acted as a significant mediator for the relationship between vividness/interactivity and sensory brand app experience/attitude in VR but not in AR. However, significant relationships were observed among sensory brand app experience, attitude, and behavioral intention in both AR and VR settings.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of multisensory VR setups and gender on the user's sense of presence, satisfaction, emotions, and attitudes. The results show that females have higher spatial presence in VR setups and multisensory stimulus can mitigate gender differences. These findings suggest that the capability of VR system to create a sense of physical presence contributes significantly to positive emotions and satisfaction, which are important for the development of touristic products and services.

Summary: This article discusses the application of immersive virtual reality (iVR) in communicating natural hazard risks. Through a comparative experiment with traditional display methods, the study found that iVR enhances risk perception and improves map interpretation. Additionally, iVR allows for more accurate estimation of flood heights. However, participants tend to evacuate at higher water levels, indicating a disconnect between their understanding of environmental and bodily danger.

Summary: This study explores the added value of new immersive strategies, such as virtual reality, in achieving both internal and external validity in sensory and consumer sciences. A comparative study involving more than 270 consumers was conducted, and the results showed that virtual reality environments were more immersive than conventional booth setups, but did not significantly differ in product evaluation performance. All conditions demonstrated high levels of internal validity.

Summary: The metaverse has attracted attention for its potential in providing engaging and social experiences in virtual reality. However, there is a lack of research on metaverse development and implementation for industrial training. Virtual reality training has been found to be four times faster than classroom-based training on average. This study proposes a method for developing immersive metaverses for industrial training using tools like Epic Games' Unreal Engine software. Results from a cross-platform metaverse development and a questionnaire administered to game developers suggest that even those with limited experience can comprehend and develop immersive virtual worlds for professional training without prior 3D modeling or third-party licensing experience.

Summary: The second in-hospital dose of tranexamic acid did not show significant differences in mortality rate, need for blood transfusion, thromboembolic complications, organ failure, or hospital length of stay compared to a single prehospital dose in injured patients. The routine administration of a second dose should be further studied in larger, multicenter trials.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of art-cards to assist nursing students in reflecting on their clinical learning. The results showed that using pictures led to an increased number of words spoken by the students and three themes emerged: channeling feelings, making sense, and becoming. This suggests that the use of pictures or art-cards may enhance students' self-reflection during debriefing.
