“…It should be noted that SINQ is an exception to the spallation sources, which produce a continuous neutron beam due to its unique design. Fundamental physics and typical applications of neutron techniques have been well documented in previous reviews [ 222,374–377 ] and books. [ 378–380 ] Below are some examples of the typical applications of different neutron techniques in MCMs.…”

Solid‐state caloric effects as intrinsic thermal responses to different physical external stimuli (magnetic‐, uniaxial stress‐, pressure‐, and electric‐fields) can achieve a higher energy efficiency compared with traditional gas compression techniques. Among these effects, magnetocaloric energy conversion is regarded as the best available alternative and has been exploited extensively for promising application scenarios in the last decades. This review systematically introduces the magnetocaloric effect and its applications, and summarizes the corresponding representative magnetocaloric materials, as well as important progress in recent years. Specifically, the review focuses on some key understandings of the magnetocaloric effect by utilizing state‐of‐the‐art technical tools such as synchrotron X‐ray, neutron scattering, muon spin spectroscopy, positron annihilation spectroscopy, high magnetic fields, etc., and highlights their importance toward advanced materials design and development. An overview of the basic principles and applications of these advanced techniques on magnetocaloric materials is provided. Finally, the challenges and perspectives on further developments in this field are discussed. Further in‐depth understanding and manufacturing technology advancement combined with fast‐developed artificial intelligence and machine learning are expected to advance the magnetocaloric energy conversion technology closer to real applications.

“…The experience of time varies across cultures and historical periods, reflecting diverse philosophical, religious, and societal influences (Harrison, 2013). In some cultures, time is conceived as fluid and flexible, with less emphasis on punctuality and strict adherence to schedules (Levine, 2018).…”

Purpose: This study aimed at investigating the nature of temporality and its implications on existence. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the nature of temporality and its implications on existence. The study comprehensively explored various theoretical perspectives and empirical findings related to temporality and its impact on human existence. Through a synthesis of theoretical frameworks such as eternalism, presentism, and the growing block universe theory, alongside empirical studies examining temporal perception and cultural variations, the research provided insights into the complexity of temporality and its relevance to reality. By identifying research gaps and delineating future directions, the study laid the groundwork for further inquiry into the fundamental nature of time and its implications for human experience and understanding of existence. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Eternalism, Presentism and Growing Block Universe may be used to anchor future studies on the nature of temporality and its implications on existence. The study provided valuable recommendations for advancing theory, informing practice, and guiding policy formulation. It contributed to theoretical advancements by proposing a comprehensive model that integrated diverse perspectives on temporality, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to synthesize insights from philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, and other disciplines. In practice, the study recommended integrating temporal perspectives into therapeutic interventions, educational curricula, and organizational strategies to enhance well-being and productivity. Policy implications included promoting flexible work arrangements, patient-centered healthcare approaches, and environmentally sustainable practices that acknowledge the temporal dimensions of human existence. Through these recommendations, the study aimed to deepen our understanding of temporality and its profound significance for human existence.
