Abstract: The article discusses how soldiers are particularly at risk from mobile sports betting apps because their high stress, willingness to take risks, and financial instability can make them prone to gambling addiction. These apps offer real-time betting and encourage continuous decisions, which may lead to impulsive behavior and result in many soldiers developing moderate to severe gambling disorders.

Abstract: This paper examines how boys aged 10-11 at an English junior school, where competitive sports are prohibited, developed masculine identities. Despite the school's anti-competitive policies, physical ability and athleticism still strongly shaped the way games were organized. These activities, which emphasized speed, skill, force, fitness, and strength, still contributed to the early formation of masculinity among the students.
