Background/Objectives: Extended reality (XR) technologies have been increasingly applied in inclusive education settings to assist neurodivergent children. However, the existing evidence remains fragmented across diverse contexts and disciplines. This systematic review synthesizes current research to identify the educational purposes, implementation characteristics, and reported outcomes associated with the use of XR in inclusive educational environments. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in major academic databases using predefined keyword combinations related to XR, inclusive education, and neurodivergence. Peer-reviewed articles that applied XR tools in educational settings for neurodivergent children were screened against predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted regarding study design, participant characteristics, XR modality, educational objectives, and outcome indicators. Results: The reviewed studies report heterogeneous applications of XR technologies, including virtual and augmented reality, to support cognitive, social, and behavioral skill development in neurodivergent learners. Most studies employed small sample sizes and quasi-experimental or exploratory designs. Although several studies reported improvements in engagement, communication skills, and task performance, outcome measures varied substantially and methodological rigor was limited in many cases. Conclusions: Current evidence suggests that XR technologies hold potential as complementary tools in inclusive education for neurodivergent children. Nonetheless, the heterogeneity of study designs and the lack of standardized assessment metrics limit the generalizability of the results. More robust empirical investigations are required to establish evidence-based guidelines for the implementation of XR in inclusive educational contexts.

This study evaluates the wear and corrosion resistance of the Cu-50Ni-5Al alloy reinforced with CeO2 nanoparticles for potential use as anodes in molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs). Cu–50Ni–5Al alloys were synthesized, with and without the incorporation of 1% CeO2 nanoparticles, by the mechanical alloying method and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The samples were evaluated using a single scratch test with a cone-spherical diamond indenter under progressive normal loading conditions. A non-contact 3D surface profiler characterized the scratched surfaces to support the analysis. Progressive loading tests indicated a reduction of up to 50% in COF with 1% NPs, with specific values drop-ping from 0.48 in the unreinforced alloy to 0.25 in the CeO2-doped composite at 15 N of applied load. Furthermore, the introduction of CeO2 decreased scratch depths by 25%, indicating enhanced wear resistance. The electrochemical behavior of the samples was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in a molten carbonate medium under a H2/N2 atmosphere at 550 °C for 120 h. Subsequently, the corrosion products were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results demonstrated that the CeO2-reinforced alloy exhibits superior electro-chemical stability in molten carbonate environments (Li2CO3-K2CO3) under an H2/N2 atmosphere at 550 °C for 120 h. A marked reduction in polarization resistance and a pronounced re-passivation effect were observed, suggesting enhanced anodic protection. This effect is attributed to the formation of aluminum and copper oxides in both compositions, together with the appearance of NiO as the predominant phase in the materials reinforced with nanoparticles in a hydrogen-reducing atmosphere. The addition of CeO2 nanoparticles significantly improves wear resistance and corrosion performance. Recognizing this effect is vital for creating strategies to enhance the material’s durability in challenging environments like MCFC.

This study evaluates the effect of printing orientation on the wear resistance of 3D-printed nylon fabricated via Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). We conducted abrasive wear resistance tests, thermal analysis, and microstructural characterization using scanning electron microscopy before and after wear testing. The results show that alternating printing directions lead to significantly higher wear. Under a normal load of 130 N, this configuration caused the exposure of up to four layers. At the same time, single-orientation prints exhibit lower material loss and better filament cohesion. DSC analysis reveals that all printed samples, regardless of wear exposure, display dual melting temperatures (T_s1 and T_s2) due to distinct crystalline phase formations. Abrasion decreases the secondary melting temperature (T_s2) and increases enthalpy by up to 144% compared to unprinted nylon, highlighting the thermal history on structural properties. These findings emphasize the critical role of printing configurations in optimizing the tribological performance of 3D-printed nylon for industrial applications.
