The educational inclusion of students with Down syndrome requires support systems capable of addressing diversity without replacing the student's own participation or shifting the pedagogical responsibility away from the classroom teacher. This study aimed to interpret the experiences of shadow teachers in providing inclusive educational support to students with Down syndrome in General Basic Education, within the framework of the university outreach project "El nuevo desafío de la inclusión universitaria: estrategias de refuerzo académico para jóvenes con diversidad funcional (discapacidad)". The research employed a qualitative approach, grounded in an interpretive paradigm and a hermeneutic-phenomenological design. Three shadow teachers (MSA1, MSW2, and MSB3) participated, selected through purposive, criterion-based non-probability sampling. Data were collected through individual, asynchronous semi-structured interviews via WhatsApp and analyzed using initial and analytical coding, alongside interpretive memos. Thematic sufficiency was assessed across the entire dataset. The participants' experiences were then compared and triangulated with the theoretical framework. The analysis yielded eight thematic axes: the value of the experience; the reality of educational inclusion; methodology and strategies; the role of the shadow teacher; challenges in providing support; support and collaboration networks; vocation and motivation; and proposals for improvement. The experiences analyzed suggest that this support functions as a mediating pedagogical practice that fosters student autonomy, the adaptation of strategies, and collaboration between families and teachers, though challenges persist regarding resources, teacher training, school pacing, and time constraints.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Compassion-Focused Therapy and Existential Therapy in reducing death anxiety and increasing illness acceptance among patients with cancer in remission. Methods and Materials: This applied study used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest-follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of patients with common cancers in remission who referred to hospitals in Tehran during 2025–2026. Using purposive sampling, 45 eligible participants were selected and randomly assigned to Compassion-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, and control groups, with 15 participants in each group. Both intervention groups received eight 90-minute weekly sessions, while the control group received no psychological intervention. Data were collected using the Templer Death Anxiety Scale and the Acceptance of Illness Scale. The data were analyzed in SPSS version 26 using repeated-measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni-adjusted post hoc comparisons at a significance level of 0.05. Findings: Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed significant effects of time, group, and time-by-group interaction for death anxiety and illness acceptance (p < 0.001). Bonferroni comparisons indicated that both Compassion-Focused Therapy and Existential Therapy significantly reduced death anxiety and increased illness acceptance compared with the control group (p < 0.001). Compassion-Focused Therapy produced a significantly greater reduction in death anxiety than Existential Therapy (MD = 1.79, SE = 0.41, p < 0.001), whereas Existential Therapy produced a significantly greater increase in illness acceptance than Compassion-Focused Therapy (MD = 2.30, SE = 0.46, p < 0.001). The improvements were maintained at follow-up. Conclusion: Both Compassion-Focused Therapy and Existential Therapy were effective in improving psychological adjustment among patients with cancer in remission; however, Compassion-Focused Therapy was more effective in reducing death anxiety, whereas Existential Therapy was more effective in increasing illness acceptance.

هدف: این پژوهش با هدف مقایسه اثربخشی درمان مبتنی بر شفقت و درمان وجودی در کاهش اضطراب مرگ و افزایش پذیرش بیماری در بیماران مبتلا به سرطان در مرحله بهبودی انجام شد. روش‌ها و مواد: این مطالعه کاربردی با طرح نیمه‌آزمایشی پیش‌آزمون-پس‌آزمون-پیگیری با گروه کنترل انجام گرفت. جامعه آماری شامل بیماران مبتلا به سرطان‌های شایع در مرحله بهبودی بود که در سال‌های ۲۰۲۵ تا ۲۰۲۶ به بیمارستان‌های تهران مراجعه کردند. با استفاده از نمونه‌گیری هدفمند، ۴۵ شرکت‌کننده واجد شرایط انتخاب و به طور تصادفی در سه گروه درمان مبتنی بر شفقت، درمان وجودی و کنترل (هر گروه ۱۵ نفر) گمارده شدند. هر دو گروه مداخله، هشت جلسه هفتگی ۹۰ دقیقه‌ای دریافت کردند و گروه کنترل هیچ مداخله روان‌شناختی دریافت نکرد. داده‌ها با استفاده از مقیاس اضطراب مرگ تمپلر و مقیاس پذیرش بیماری جمع‌آوری شد. تحلیل داده‌ها با نرم‌افزار SPSS نسخه ۲۶ و با استفاده از تحلیل واریانس اندازه‌گیری مکرر و مقایسه‌های پس‌آزمون با اصلاح بونفرونی در سطح معناداری ۰٫۰۵ انجام گرفت. یافته‌ها: تحلیل واریانس اندازه‌گیری مکرر اثرات معنادار زمان، گروه و تعامل زمان و گروه را برای اضطراب مرگ و پذیرش بیماری نشان داد (p < 0.001). مقایسه‌های بونفرونی نشان داد که هر دو درمان مبتنی بر شفقت و درمان وجودی به طور معناداری اضطراب مرگ را کاهش و پذیرش بیماری را نسبت به گروه کنترل افزایش دادند (p < 0.001). درمان مبتنی بر شفقت کاهش معنادار بیشتری در اضطراب مرگ نسبت به درمان وجودی ایجاد کرد (MD = 1.79, SE = 0.41, p < 0.001)، در حالی که درمان وجودی افزایش معنادار بیشتری در پذیرش بیماری نسبت به درمان مبتنی بر شفقت داشت (MD = 2.30, SE = 0.46, p < 0.001). این بهبودها در مرحله پیگیری نیز حفظ شد. نتیجه‌گیری: هر دو درمان مبتنی بر شفقت و درمان وجودی در بهبود سازگاری روان‌شناختی بیماران مبتلا به سرطان در مرحله بهبودی مؤثر بودند؛ با این حال، درمان مبتنی بر شفقت در کاهش اضطراب مرگ و درمان وجودی در افزایش پذیرش بیماری اثربخشی بیشتری داشتند.

Insecurity has become a significant threat to the effective delivery of basic education in Nigeria, particularly in communities affected by banditry, kidnapping, armed attacks, and communal violence. This study examined the influence of insecurity on teaching-learning outcomes in Universal Basic Education primary schools in Kagarko Local Government Area, Kaduna State, Nigeria. Specifically, it investigated the effects of insecurity on pupils’ academic performance and school attendance and identified strategies for reducing its adverse effects. The study adopted a qualitative documentary research design and relied on secondary data obtained from government publications, policy documents, institutional reports, international organisations, and peer-reviewed journal articles. The selected documents were analysed using qualitative content analysis and organised according to the study’s major themes. The findings revealed that insecurity negatively affects pupils’ academic performance by reducing instructional time, disrupting curriculum coverage, weakening concentration, and creating fear within the learning environment. It also reduces school attendance as parents may prevent their children from attending school because of kidnapping, attacks, unsafe travel routes, and instability within surrounding communities. Consequently, insecurity undermines the implementation of Universal Basic Education by limiting regular participation and disrupting stable teaching and learning conditions. The study concludes that ensuring school safety is essential for achieving the objectives of free and compulsory basic education. It recommends strengthening school security, implementing the Minimum Standards for Safe Schools, improving community participation, providing psychosocial support, protecting routes to school, establishing emergency response systems, and adopting flexible learning arrangements during periods of disruption.

This study aims to analyze the learning problems experienced by Grade VIII students at UPTD SMPN 16 Kupang based on students’ experiences and teachers’ perspectives. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, using interviews with 16 informants consisting of one homeroom teacher, three subject teachers, and 12 Grade VIII students. The data were analyzed thematically by grouping responses into recurring patterns relevant to the research focus. The findings derived from the available informant accounts revealed several issues, namely students’ limited openness in communicating their difficulties, inconsistent classroom participation, procrastination in completing assignments, and family responsibilities that reduce the time and energy available for learning. Some students reported being distracted by recreational activities, while others experienced fatigue after helping their parents at home. These findings indicate that learning problems need to be understood by considering academic factors, study habits, communication, and family context. Guidance and counseling services can support the identification of students’ needs and the development of effective learning strategies and time management skills.

The main aim of this study is to determine the different challenges encountered by TVL students in learning skill-based subject on Modular Distance Learning. The participant was 20 selected Technical Vocational Livelihood Track who specialized Bread and Pastry Production students on Modular Distance Learning of Luis Y. Ferrer Jr. Senior Highschool School Year 20221-2022. This study used qualitative type of study through interview and focused group discussion. Qualitative data was analyzed using Litchman's 3C's of Analysis (Coding to Categorizing to Conceptualizing) to generate emerging themes. The study revealed that TVL- BPP students encountered challenges in learning skill-based subject on Modular Distance Learning such as lack of knowledge and skills, lack of tools, equipment, financial difficulty and attitude problem. Those mentioned problems affect student's academic performance. Most of them failed to meet the appropriate practical outputs. The study also revealed the different coping mechanism utilized by skill-based students. Part time job, watching informative learning videos and articles from internet, time management and improvising tools and equipment were the coping strategies done by students. The study focused only to the challenges and coping mechanisms of Luis Y. Ferrer Jr. Senior High School Technical Vocational Livelihood - Bread and Pastry Production students in learning skill-based subject on Modular Distance Learning. The result of this study serves as reference or basis for the skill-based teacher to formulate clear, effective and efficient form of teaching for the students to easily learn the subjects on modular distance learning.

This study addresses the critical deficiency in speaking skills among university students, a challenge primarily attributed to the reliance on traditional teaching methods and the limited time allocated for authentic verbal practice within the classroom. The research aims to construct a comprehensive theoretical framework for the Flipped Classroom strategy and identify the pedagogical and linguistic justifications for its implementation in developing speaking skills, while providing practical procedural recommendations for its integration into higher education. Adopting a descriptive-analytical approach through a critical review of educational literature, the findings reveal that the flipped model significantly enhances students' fluency, linguistic accuracy, and capacity for spontaneous expression. Furthermore, the model fosters increased motivation and active participation by granting learners the autonomy to progress at their own pace, as pre-class preparation helps mitigate "language anxiety" and bolsters confidence during real-time communicative interactions. Despite these advantages, the research identifies several implementation challenges, most notably the digital divide, potential cognitive overload, and the necessity for intensive faculty training in digital instructional design. Ultimately, the study concludes that the Flipped Classroom represents a fundamental philosophical shift that redefines educational roles, transforming class time from passive instruction into a dynamic "living linguistic laboratory" focused on intensive communicative practice.

This paper presents a practice‑driven software engineering course model that centers the curriculum on multi‑term, client‑partnered projects to cultivate real‑world design, teamwork, and delivery skills at undergraduate scale. The approach combines a shared web application stack, agile project management with iterative demos and retrospectives, and remote mentorship from industry alumni to provide authentic exposure to legacy code, stakeholder communication, and production‑like workflows. Operational experiences (“war stories”) surface recurring risks credential leakage, privacy missteps, shifting stakeholder expectations, and deployment hurdles and translate them into actionable process controls such as time‑boxing, version‑control discipline, and early environment planning. Reported outcomes highlight growth in technical execution and soft skills, increased student ownership through community impact, and a repeatable structure that decouples principles from practicum to support continuity across semesters. The paper concludes with adoption guidance on partner selection, mentor recruitment, and technology standardization to help programs embed authentic, sustainable project work as a centerpiece of software engineering education.

ABSTRACT. The relationship between instructional leadership behaviours and lecturers’ job performance is important in higher education. Understanding this relationship can help academic leaders support lecturers and improve teaching, research, and academic development. Therefore, this study determines how instructional leadership behaviour of heads of departments (HoDs) influences lecturers’ job performance at the major public universities in Kumasi, Ghana. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to collect data from lecturers in public universities at a single point in time. The sample includes public university lecturers. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select 155 lecturers to provide quantitative data. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed with both descriptive and inferential statistics, including frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations, along with the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The findings indicate that HoDs demonstrate active involvement in setting institutional direction, monitoring instruction, and supporting staff development. However, the findings reveal insufficient mentorship to support lecturers’ professional learning and performance. This lack of mentorship could limit opportunities for developing leadership potential among teachers and supporting their career growth. Lecturers displayed effectiveness in their teaching practices. The statistical results confirmed a significant effect of instructional leadership behaviours on lecture delivery (F(4,98) = 20.382, p < 0.01). It was recommended that HoDs should communicate departmental goals clearly and ensure that lecturers understand their teaching, assessment, research, and administrative responsibilities. Additionally, the strong positive correlation between the communication of institutional objectives and lecturer effectiveness highlights the need for university goals, teaching expectations, and performance standards to be communicated clearly across departments.

This study examined how classroom observation by school leaders influenced teachers’ effectiveness in lesson preparation and presentation in public secondary schools in Kyerwa District Council, Kagera, Tanzania. The study was guided by the pragmatist paradigm and employed a mixed-methods approach using a convergent parallel research design. A sample of 87 respondents was selected through stratified random, simple random, and purposive sampling techniques. The sample size was determined using Yamane’s (1967) formula (n=N/[1+N(e)^2]). Quantitative data were collected using structured questionnaires and classroom observation checklists, while qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analysed using frequencies, percentages, means, correlation, and regression analysis, whereas qualitative data were analysed thematically. The findings indicated that classroom observation by school leaders contributed to teachers’ effectiveness in lesson preparation and presentation through professional feedback, identification of instructional weaknesses, guidance, and follow-up support. The findings further showed that regular and constructive classroom observation enhanced teachers’ preparedness, organisation of lesson content, use of teaching and learning materials, and classroom presentation practices. However, inadequate time, limited follow-up, and competing administrative responsibilities constrained the effectiveness of classroom observation. The study concluded that systematic, supportive, and constructive classroom observation was an important instructional supervision practice for improving teachers’ effectiveness in lesson preparation and presentation. The study recommended that school leaders and education authorities should strengthen regular classroom observation, professional feedback, and follow-up mechanisms to promote continuous improvement in teaching practices.

Early childhood is a critical period for emotional development and behavioral regulation. Increasing digital device use among young children has raised concerns about its association with tantrum behavior, although research examining addiction-related use rather than screen duration alone remains limited. This study aimed to examine the relationship between gadget addiction levels and tantrum behavior among children aged 4–6 years at Widya Santhi Buana Kindergarten, West Denpasar District. A quantitative correlational approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, involving 45 parents or guardians recruited through total sampling. Data were collected on April 15, 2026, through online questionnaires administered using Google Forms. The instruments comprised an adapted Digital Addiction Scale for Children with 25 items, which demonstrated high internal consistency during pilot testing (Cronbach’s α = .977), and the 31-item Rating Scale of Angry Emotional Behavior and Temper Tantrum. Univariate analysis summarized the distributions of gadget addiction levels and tantrum behavior, while Spearman’s rank correlation assessed their relationship. The results showed that 48.9% of children were classified as having moderate gadget addiction levels. Regarding tantrum behavior, 53.3% were classified as exhibiting no tantrum behavior, whereas 22.2% were classified as exhibiting severe tantrum behavior. A strong, positive, and statistically significant correlation was identified between gadget addiction levels and tantrum behavior (ρ = .641, p < .001). Higher parent-reported gadget addiction levels were therefore associated with greater tantrum severity within the participating group. The cross-sectional design and reliance on parent-reported measures limit causal interpretation. These findings may inform parent education concerning supervised device use and consistent family rules. Further research should include larger samples, examine parenting styles and other relevant factors, and use longitudinal designs to clarify the direction of the relationship.

The stress facing the educational leadership as school principals are required to deal with administrative management, supervision of staff, academic performance and institutional development. There are specific issues that may affect female principals in addition to the other factors listed above: Interpersonal demands, competing professional demands, and work–life balance. Problem-Focused Coping Strategies (PFCS) may be a way to cope with stress by identifying the sources of stress, planning and problem solving, prioritizing and making positive decisions. The present study investigated the correlation between PFCS and Stress Management (SM) of female school principals. The method of quantitative research was employed and data was gathered from 74 principals (females). Analysis of the correlation showed a weak negative correlation between PFCS and SM (r = -.117). The regression model accounted for about 1.4% of the variability in SM (R2 = .014). The overall regression model was not significant (F (1,72) = 1.005, p = .319). The regression coefficient for PFCS was also negative and not significantly different from 0 (B = -.254, β = -.117, p = .319). The results of this study suggest that there was no statistically significant predictive relationship found between the female principals who participated in the study and PFCS and SM. The results do not show that problem-focused coping is not effective, however; it does imply that it may be insufficient to account for variations in stress management in this sample. The results indicate that there is a need to explore further individual and organizational factors, such as workload, institutional support, leadership experience, resources, and work–life balance. More research is needed using larger samples, measuring instruments that have been established and validated, and using longitudinal or intervention designs to investigate the role of problem-focused coping in stress management. Other professional development programs that could be beneficial for educational authorities include those related to problem solving, time management, delegation, and conflict resolution. The research brings insights from the sphere of stress amongst female educational leaders to the discussion and provides some insights for future research directions.

Background: Prolonged screen exposure, after-hours connectivity, and sedentary work are linked to poor sleep and occupational burnout among Indian working professionals. Ayurvedic Dinacharya regulates waking, Vyayama, Bhojana Vidhi, and Nidra Vidhi; however, digital-era disruption of these domains among working adults remains unstudied. This study aimed to assess digital lifestyle behaviours mapped to Dinacharya principles as behavioural markers of Pragyaparadha, in relation to sleep quality and occupational burnout among working adults, and to identify behaviours independently associated with poor sleep and higher burnout. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical survey (STROBE-reported) was conducted at the All-India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), New Delhi, during (January 2026 to July 2026), among 400 working adults aged 25-40 years with ≥1 year of occupational experience. A structured proforma captured sociodemographic details and Dinacharya-mapped digital behaviours across five domains (morning routine, bedtime device use, after-hours connectivity, screen breaks/sedentary time, mealtime practices). Sleep quality and burnout were assessed using the PSQI and Copenhagen burnout inventory. Results: Of 400 participants, 56.8% had poor sleep quality, 61% personal burnout, and 55.8% work-related burnout. Bedtime device use and inadequate screen breaks/sedentary behaviour independently predicted poor sleep (aOR 1.76 and 1.98). After-hours connectivity, sedentary behaviour, and mealtime digital engagement predicted personal burnout; bedtime device use, sedentary behaviour, mealtime digital engagement, and digital overload predicted work-related burnout (all p<0.05). Conclusions: Digital lifestyle behaviours reflect patterns of Pragyaparadha in daily digital conduct. Interpreted through Dinacharya and Nidra, the findings support a culturally grounded, preventive Digital Dinacharya framework for digital-era occupational health.

The article substantiates the feasibility of adaptive foreign language phonetics teaching, enhanced by artificial intelligence technologies, as an alternative to traditional standardized methods that fail to account for higher education students' individual articulatory features and lead to persistent phonetic errors. The study is interdisciplinary, combining the methodology of specialties A4 Secondary Education (A4.021 English Language and Literature), A5 Vocational Education (A5.39 Digital Technologies), and F7 Computer Engineering. The purpose of the study is to develop and justify a model of an adaptive learning platform for improving higher education students' phonetic skills through the integration of speech formant synthesis with machine learning algorithms. A formant synthesizer model based on parallel digital filters has been developed, generating reference vowel sounds by simulating the resonant frequencies of the vocal tract. An approach to personalizing learning is proposed based on a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network, which analyzes a student's error history and dynamically adjusts formant parameters in real time. Technical validation of the model demonstrated high accuracy of formant frequency correction, with a root-mean-square error of 45 Hz for the first formant and 78 Hz for the second, enabling objective assessment of pronunciation quality and adaptation of exercise difficulty to the individual student's level. A pilot quasi-experimental verification of the platform involving experimental and control groups of higher education students confirmed its pedagogical potential for implementing differentiated learning principles based on objective acoustic data. The conclusions confirm the platform's prospects for modernizing linguistic education. Further research directions include expanding empirical validation on a larger sample and conducting perceptual evaluation of synthesized speech quality by native speakers to confirm its naturalness and suitability for learning purposes.

Chemistry teaching is still based on traditional methods of memorization and repetition, a consequence of students' difficulty in understanding chemical models when contextualized pedagogical strategies are not employed. In this context, digital games emerge as a promising alternative to make teaching more dynamic, interactive, and accessible. This qualitative study aimed to analyze how digital games are perceived and used by undergraduate chemistry students during their training, understanding how this knowledge is articulated with academic productions on the subject. The research was conducted through a bibliographic survey, with a time frame from 2014 to 2024, using the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations as a database. Additionally, a questionnaire was applied to 72 students of the Chemistry undergraduate course at a Federal University in the Northeast region of Brazil to understand their perceptions of digital games in the educational context. The results indicate that 98.6% of the students recognize the potential of digital games in chemistry learning. According to this result, 69.4% have already used these cultural artifacts to learn chemical concepts, which justifies 79.2% of respondents feeling familiar with this technology, emphasizing the emergence of a more connected society. Conversely, a significant lack of training on the use of Digital Games was identified, due to the absence of subjects addressing this topic in the curricula of Chemistry undergraduate courses that adhere to the Unified Selection System. It is concluded that this study highlights how Digital Games can significantly contribute to improving Chemistry teaching, provided there is adequate teacher training. Thus, it is essential that undergraduate courses include the pedagogical use of Digital Games in their curricula, promoting an educational practice aligned with contemporary demands and available technological possibilities.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about consequences extending beyond the health crisis itself, particularly affecting the mental health of the adult population in Latin America—a region where structural inequalities and healthcare deficiencies exacerbated the emotional impact of lockdowns, economic uncertainty, and the fear of infection. This study aimed to identify and analyze the psychological factors linked to stress levels experienced by adults in the region following the health emergency, utilizing a systematic literature review conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. The process began with 543 records identified in databases such as PubMed, SciELO, and Elsevier, from which 30 publications covering the 2022–2026 period were selected. Findings revealed that anxiety, depression, emotional fatigue, and post-traumatic stress were the predominant manifestations, associated with social isolation, economic instability, academic and work-related overload, and low socioeconomic status. Resilience and family support served as protective factors against these manifestations. The study concludes that post-pandemic stress has a multifactorial origin and that its effects can persist over time, highlighting the need to strengthen public mental health policies for the adult population.

Background: Father involvement is an important aspect of the caregiving environment that is associated with children’s social-emotional development. Such involvement includes interaction, support, attention, and participation in children’s activities. This study aimed to analyze the association between nine dimensions of father involvement and emotional and behavioral difficulties among children aged 5-9 years. Methods: This study used a quantitative research method with a cross-sectional design. Participants were 130 mothers who had children aged 5-9 years in Jonggol Village. Father involvement was measured using the Inventory of Father Involvement (IFI), consisting of nine dimensions, while children’s emotional and behavioral difficulties were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) through the Total Difficulties score. Associations were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance level of 5%. Results: Three of the nine IFI dimensions showed significant negative associations with SDQ Total Difficulties: Time and Talking (rs = −0.181; p = 0.040), Reading and Homework (rs = −0.227; p = 0.009), and Attention (rs = −0.178; p = 0.043). The other six dimensions were not significantly associated with SDQ Total Difficulties (p > 0.05). Findings are exploratory (p-values unadjusted). Conclusion: Specific aspects of father involvement, particularly time and communication, participation in reading and homework, and attention, were associated with lower emotional and behavioral difficulties among children. These findings highlight the importance of examining father involvement not only as an overall construct but also according to its specific dimensions

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia in which the normal muscle atonia of REM sleep is lost, and patients act out their dreams.Serotonergic antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a recognized trigger, but in psychiatric patients the nocturnal behaviors are easily attributed to stress or to the primary illness.We report the case of a 46-year-old man with schizoaffective disorder, depressive type, maintained on aripiprazole 15 mg daily, who was started on escitalopram 10 mg at bedtime (day one); the dose was reduced to 5 mg on day 77.Around day 430, about 14 months after starting escitalopram and while taking 5 mg, he began to walk in his sleep and act out his dreams, including punching movements and, on one occasion, walking while holding a clothing iron, with no recollection on waking.The episodes occurred late in the night, with his eyes closed, two to three times a month and were accompanied by sleep paralysis and daytime sleepiness.His mental status examination and routine blood tests were unremarkable.He declined polysomnography and brain imaging, so a diagnosis of probable RBD, possibly associated with escitalopram, was made on clinical grounds; a non-REM parasomnia could not be excluded.On day 616, escitalopram was stopped and clonazepam 0.5 mg at bedtime was started at the same time.The episodes had stopped by day 665.Clonazepam was discontinued on day 772, and at the latest follow-up on day 1962 there had been no recurrence.Because clonazepam was started when escitalopram was withdrawn, the improvement cannot be attributed to stopping escitalopram alone, although the absence of recurrence after clonazepam was discontinued supports a role for the antidepressant.Clinicians who prescribe serotonergic antidepressants should take a sleep history from patients and their bed partners, arrange polysomnography where it is available, and review the suspected drug.

Despite the integration of Earth Sciences into Moroccan secondary education, geology teaching faces multiple obstacles. This study provides a multi‑dimensional analysis of curricular, didactic, epistemological, linguistic, and ideological barriers. Using a mixed‑method design, we analysed official curricula (2007–2025), six textbooks, 47 articles, and surveyed 120 Life and Earth Sciences teachers. Results show that geology accounts for only 17% of total instructional time and is absent from three of seven major streams. 78% of teachers feel unprepared to teach geological time, 65% never use physical models, and only 12% of schools organise field trips. In French‑medium sections, 65% of students score below 50% on geology assessments (vs. 41% in Arabic sections). 72% of students confuse human and geological time scales. We propose evidence‑based remedies: curriculum restructuring (25% of LES time), mandatory field trips, physical modelling, ICT integration, and teacher training in conceptual change approaches.

The study aimed to analyze the impact of implementing instructional sequences on strengthening the teaching of Spanish Language and Social Sciences at the primary level in Regional 02, San Juan, Dominican Republic. A quantitative approach was adopted, using a non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive design. The participants comprised 498 individuals, including 463 teachers and 35 district-level educational specialists. Structured questionnaires were administered, and the data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages. The results revealed a favorable assessment of the implementation of instructional sequences, particularly regarding the progressive organization of activities, activation of prior knowledge, student participation, oral and written production, and learning monitoring. Teachers also perceived improvements in lesson planning, organization, and assessment practices. However, district-level specialists identified areas requiring further consolidation, particularly the alignment between planning and classroom practice, the correspondence between activities and learning evidence, the use of educational resources, and pedagogical support. Challenges related to available instructional time and the need to make adaptations during implementation were also identified. It is concluded that instructional sequences have a favorable impact on strengthening teaching, although their consolidation requires systematic monitoring, teacher training, and contextualization of instructional proposals.

Background: Digital devices have become very important in education. Students are increasingly spending their time on screen for education and other use. However, prolonged screen exposure has led to increasing complaints of digital eye strain, an emerging public health concern. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 165 undergraduate medical students in a tertiary care centre. A pilot studied; semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Data was entered in Microsoft excel and analysed. Results: The prevalence of digital eye strain among undergraduate medical students was found to be 52.7%. Most common symptom noted were Headache (68.5%), Itching (60.6%), tearing of eyes (58.1%). There was a significant association between the duration of mobile screen usage (>4 hours) and digital eye strain (p value=0.0303). Conclusions: Digital eye strain is a common health concern among medical students. Higher the hours of mobile screen use, greater is the risk of digital eye strain.

In volleyball, as in other sports, special attention should be paid to the individual characteristics of the athlete. However, this is often neglected. Most problems arise when the selection criteria for a role are not a player’s personal qualities, but rather their technical and tactical skills (tallness, a strong dominant arm, etc.). Here, it’s not just the player’s skills that matter, but also how they present themselves as a person. Many personal qualities are determined by a person’s genetic code, which cannot be changed. The nervous system, temperament, and character play a crucial role in success in volleyball. Athletes’ activities during volleyball are subject to many specific characteristics inherent to the game. The fast pace, the variety and unexpectedness of game situations, the interaction with teammates, the intermittent pace, and other characteristics place mental demands on volleyball players that are markedly different from those placed on, for example, a gymnast during gymnastics exercises. A volleyball player must be able to quickly and accurately navigate changing conditions, instantly switch from one situation to another, and be prepared for any actions by teammates and opponents. The time constraints of fast-paced play place high demands on reaction time and decision-making. Two main types of neuropsychological resilience can be distinguished: players with an unstable nervous system and those with an inert nervous system. In the former case, a player may involuntarily change their mental state before an important game, sometimes becoming calm, sometimes excited. It is important to properly prepare such volleyball players. High-intensity and prolonged training before the game will help them focus and distract themselves from external stress. An athlete with this type of nervous system should focus on the technique and precision of the elements they perform. In the case of an inert nervous system, training should be focused on mental work. Before the game, a volleyball player should begin psychological preparation, which will consist of positive and negative mental stimulation based on the athlete’s personal experience. When working during training or warm-ups, it’s important to emphasize the athlete’s potential dangers.

Abstract Knowing where to find what kind of food, and when, is essential for survival and reproduction. Studying animals’ foraging strategies thus provides insights into the cognitive processes underlying real-world problem solving. We investigated whether free-ranging Guinea baboons ( Papio papio ) keep track of the spatio-temporal availability of a preferred food resource, the Natal orange ( Strychnos spinosa ). An exceptional wildfire that destroyed most ripe fruits in 2019 provided a quasi-experimental opportunity to assess whether Guinea baboons flexibly adjusted their space use to an unexpected change in resource availability or instead continued to follow habitual routines. The animals’ space use patterns shifted significantly following the wildfire. After one single visit, they stopped going to the area during the period when Natal oranges would normally be available. In the following year, when Natal oranges were available again, the baboons resumed regular space use patterns. We also assessed travel linearity, speed, and departure time from sleeping sites towards the target area with and without ripe fruit. Guinea baboons travelled more linearly, 14% faster, and ca. 40 min earlier toward the target area when S. spinosa was in season than when it was not. In conclusion, Guinea baboons rapidly adjusted their space use patterns in response to changes in the availability of a high-value food resource. These results underscore their capacity for flexible, reward-sensitive decision-making and goal-directed foraging.

Abstract Background Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe mental illness associated with emotional and functional impairment, elevated suicide risk, and high individual and societal costs. BPD is under-researched in the general population, especially among males, and from a developmental perspective. We examined the prevalence and development of BPD symptoms in young men and explored the longitudinal associations with risk-taking behaviors. Methods Data came from the prospective-longitudinal Cohort Study on Substance Use Risk Factors (C-SURF), a population sample of young men. Participants were screened for BPD risk using the McLean Screening Instrument (MSI-BPD) at mean age 25 (2016–2018; n = 5,516) and again at mean age 28 (2019–2020; n = 5,367). Risk-taking behaviors (e.g., interpersonal violence, gambling, substance use) were self-reported at both time points. Multilevel regression models examined within-person changes in BPD symptoms, including self-harm, and risk-taking behaviors over time. Results 7.4% of participants had a high risk of BPD, defined by endorsing 7 + MSI-BPD items at least once. Among those with 7 + items endorsed at the first assessment, 29.5% still endorsed 7 + items three years later. Despite a general within-person decline in BPD symptoms with age, participants at initially high risk for BPD continued to exhibit elevated levels of risk-taking behaviors after three years. Conclusion BPD symptomatology affects a substantial proportion of young men. Despite its modest stability over time, it is associated with persistent engagement in various risk-taking behaviors. Interventions targeting BPD symptoms in male populations may offer a promising avenue towards mitigating substantial psychosocial burden associated with these behaviors.

Mental health systems face a persistent gap in accessible, continuous, and person-centred support. Conversational AI can expand access to psychoeducation, emotional check-ins, self-management, and service navigation, but may also introduce risks of digital exclusion, cultural mismatch, privacy concerns, unsafe advice, and overreliance on automation. This paper develops a conceptual framework integrating Orange Technology, which promotes emotional wellbeing, cultural sensitivity, social connectedness, and resilience, with empathetic AI for mental health support. An integrative literature review examined peer-reviewed systematic reviews and WHO and UN guidance published from 2021 to 2026. Evidence suggests that conversational AI can improve depression, distress, anxiety, and engagement, although effects are heterogeneous and may decline over time. Personalization and empathic interaction may enhance engagement, while the framework's effects on community resilience, cultural sensitivity, and community resource integration require further empirical validation. The framework therefore positions AI as a supportive, human-in-the-loop layer rather than a replacement for clinicians, families, peers, or communities. It connects emotional sensing, empathetic dialogue, personalized support, escalation pathways, community connection, inclusive access, and governance, while aligning mental health innovation with SDG 3, 9, and 17.

The rapid growth of social media has transformed communication and information sharing; however, excessive use can promote procrastination and avoidance of academic tasks, contributing to increased test anxiety among students. This study explores how social media use and procrastination contribute to test anxiety among the said population. A cross-sectional design was employed with sample of 284 university students (M = 110, F = 160) with a mean X age=20.8 years selected through convenience. Social media was measured through Social Media Use Questionnaire (Xanidis and Brignell, 2016), procrastination was assessed using the Lay Procrastination Scale (Lay, 1986) and test anxiety was evaluated by Westside Test Anxiety Scale (Driscoll, 2004). Data was analyzed using correlation and regression analysis. The results revealed significant positive correlation between social media use, procrastination, and test anxiety. Regression analysis showed that both the use of social media and procrastination significantly forecasted test anxiety, indicating that an increased occurrence of problematic digital engagement and reduced self-control leads to academic stress. These findings highlight the fact that university-level interventions encourage healthier digital habits and stronger individual control of students. Also, it emphasizes the need for parents and educators to promote effective study habits and self-regulation, as excessive social media use limits students’ available study time.

This reflective essay examines the establishment of the Research Guild in King’s Digital, a department at King’s College London specialising in online and blended postgraduate education. The Research Guild is an internally created, mentor-supported community of practice designed to help professional services staff engage more confidently in educational research and scholarship. Using an autoethnographic approach and a systems thinking lens, I explore how the Guild emerged in response to a recurring pattern: teams highly effective at delivery but lacking time, infrastructure and perceived legitimacy to undertake inquiry. The essay describes how mentoring through the ALT ELESIG Scholar Scheme, a training needs analysis survey and three structured development pathways (literature review, conference participation and research projects) combined to make evidence-seeking feel more normal, safe and worthwhile. I highlight key outcomes and persistent tensions around time, equity and sustainability, arguing that staff development is most transformative when treated as a deliberately designed ecosystem of scaffolds, feedback loops and shared identity rather than a series of isolated activities.

This study examined the alignment between professional development opportunities and instructional practices among public kindergarten teachers at West City Elementary School, Dumaguete City, during school year 2025–2026. Guided by the integrated Gibbs–ERA reflective framework, it employed a descriptive-correlational design and total enumeration of seven kindergarten teachers. Data were collected through an adapted structured questionnaire administered via Google Forms and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank-order correlation. Respondents rated trainings and seminars (reported composite mean = 3.29), coaching and mentoring (3.48), classroom management (3.88), and teaching strategies (3.89) positively. Teachers particularly endorsed collaborative coaching, effective use of classroom time, supportive student–teacher relationships, differentiation, and adjustment of teaching strategies. Professional development opportunities had a very strong positive association with reported instructional practices (Spearman’s ρ = .860, p = .013, n = 7). These self-reported findings suggest that professional learning and instructional practice are closely aligned in the school, although the single-school, small-sample design cannot establish causality or verify changes in pupil outcomes. The study recommends sustained, school-based training, peer coaching, mentoring, instructional observation, and structured reflection to support transfer of professional learning to everyday teaching.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the PJBL model with a scientific approach that influences student learning outcomes. The method used in this study is a literature study by collecting and analyzing various previous research sources related to the implementation of PjBL in elementary schools. This literature study focuses on how PjBL can develop students' cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and social-emotional skills. The results of the study show that PjBL through a scientific approach can increase students' interest, motivation, and learning outcomes. This model encourages students to collaborate, think critically, and actively engage in real projects that are relevant to everyday life. However, there are several challenges in its implementation. The success of this model requires support from good time management, teacher guidance, and adequate facilities.

Abstract This study examines whether and how RME can be performed as an epistemic object to broaden business schools’ education on climate change. The research builds on a qualitative case study involving 10 Finnish business schools. The analysis reveals that RME is performed as both an epistemic object and a boundary object, with different implications for its embeddedness within institutions. Our findings show how accreditations have introduced RME as a boundary object enforcing performativity around sustainability themes yet enabling disciplines to maintain their distinct or limited roles. At the same time, RME is met with both resistance and compliance, depending on how well the object fits with disciplinary boundaries and career trajectories. Lastly, as an epistemic object, RME encourages co‐reflexivity, which is essential for climate‐proofing business schools. We discuss the possibilities of a hybrid orientation of RME as both a boundary object and an epistemic object for enforcing climate‐orientation in management education.

Background Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is common during adolescence and is associated with substantial psychological burden and elevated subsequent suicide risk. Physical activity (PA) may be a modifiable correlate of NSSI, but prospective evidence on potential emotional mechanisms and social boundary conditions remains limited. This study examined whether baseline PA was associated with subsequent NSSI, whether anxiety symptoms accounted for part of that association, and whether baseline social support moderated the relevant pathways. Methods A school-based two-wave cohort of 756 Chinese adolescents and young students (mean age = 17.36 years, SD = 2.58; 51.7% female) was followed for 6 months. At Time 1 (T1), participants reported PA, social support, anxiety symptoms, NSSI, and demographic characteristics; anxiety and NSSI were reassessed at Time 2 (T2). Autoregressive regression models adjusted for baseline anxiety or NSSI as appropriate, together with age, gender, and urban/rural residence. Indirect effects were estimated with 5,000 bootstrap resamples, and interaction terms were used to examine first- and second-stage moderation. Results Higher T1 PA was associated with lower T2 NSSI after adjustment for T1 NSSI. The indirect association through T2 anxiety was −0.12 [95% CI (−0.18, −0.06)], representing 48.0% of the reported total association. T1 social support significantly moderated the T1 PA-T2 anxiety association ( p = 0.003); simple-slope estimates indicated a stronger inverse PA-anxiety association at higher social support. Social support did not significantly moderate the T2 anxiety-T2 NSSI association ( p = 0.281). Conclusion The findings are consistent with a model in which greater PA is prospectively associated with lower NSSI partly through lower subsequent anxiety, while social support may shape the PA-anxiety link. Because anxiety and NSSI were measured concurrently at follow-up, the indirect effect should not be interpreted as definitive causal mediation. Multi-wave and intervention studies are needed to establish temporal ordering and causality.

In recent years, retro-style outfits have continued to gain popularity on social media platforms. Clothing styles marked by earlier eras, such as Y2K millennium style, vintage outfits, and retro sportswear, have become widely popular among young people. This phenomenon raises a question worth exploring: why have young people developed such strong interest in “old clothes”? What role does social media play in the transformation of nostalgic emotions into consumption behavior? Taking 2018 to 2026 as the time window, this paper systematically reviews the literature on youth nostalgic consumption in social media environments and discusses it from three dimensions: conceptual definition, activation mechanism, and identity. The review preliminarily reveals the role of social media in the dissemination and diffusion of nostalgic content and also confirms that nostalgic consumption is an important path through which young people respond to identity anxiety and seek group belonging. However, existing studies still have three limitations. First, they lack a systematic explanation of how platform mechanisms promote the transformation of nostalgic emotions into consumption behavior. Second, they pay insufficient attention to how young people continuously construct identity through symbolic practices, community interaction, and consumption choices on social media. Third, the special mechanism of “non-experiential nostalgia” in the digital age has not been fully discussed. Future research may focus on constructing theoretical models that take social media as an intermediary variable and connect the logical path from emotion to behavior and then to identity.

Aim and background: Sleep is a biological necessity essential for physical and mental well-being, yet many young adults, particularly college students, experience sleep disruptions due to major life changes and poor sleep hygiene.This study aimed to identify the determinants of insomnia among undergraduate female students in a rural area of Haryana.Materials and methods: A mixed-method study was conducted between May 2024 and May 2025 involving 340 undergraduate female students.Quantitative data were collected using a semi-structured socio-demographic questionnaire and the insomnia severity index (ISI).Qualitative insights were gathered through in-depth interviews (IDI) with 15 students identified with clinically significant insomnia.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software version 26, with significance set at p < 0.05.Results: The prevalence of clinically significant insomnia in the cohort was 5.6% (n = 19).Quantitative analysis revealed that the participant's state of origin was the only statistically significant socio-demographic determinant (p = 0.031).Students from states other than Haryana reported a significantly higher insomnia prevalence (12.5%) compared to those from Haryana (4.2%).Factors such as age, socio-economic status, and type of occupancy showed no significant correlation.Qualitative themes highlighted academic performance, overuse of electronic devices, social environment, and psycho-social stress as primary triggers.Conclusion: While the prevalence of insomnia is relatively low, it is significantly driven by academic transitions, excessive screen time, and communal living challenges.A notable awareness-action gap exists, as students recognize the importance of sleep but prefer self-management or mindfulness over professional clinical help.

Human well-being has received increasing attention as an indicator of individual and social health and as a consideration in public policy. Gender differences in subjective well-being (SWB), a widely accepted indicator of human well-being, have long been documented. However, explanations of these gender differences remain varied and inconclusive. This study utilizes Gallup World Poll data comprising 1,911,212 observations from 2009 to 2022. Employing advanced machine-learning techniques within an Exogenous Switching Treatment Effect Model (ESTEM) framework, we decompose the gender gap in SWB into differences in characteristics and differences in regime-specific returns. Conditional on observed characteristics and under a common predictive regime, the model predicts higher SWB for men. In contrast, the regime-specific returns component is associated with lower predicted well-being under the male regime. This component also increases over time, widening the estimated gender gap in SWB, while its magnitude varies across countries. The results suggest the potential relevance of institutional flexibility and reduced gender-role pressures for addressing gender disparities in human well-being.

Introduction This simulation-based computational study develops a non-linear state-space framework for stress-related negative cognitive bias and multivariate EEG/ERP observations. Methods A three-state model represents negative bias, cognitive control, and arousal, while symptom load and normalized model stress input reshape a quartic bias potential. N2, P3, late positive potential, frontal theta, frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA), and frontoparietal phase locking provide complementary observation channels. Additional checks distinguish the non-linear benchmark from additive and interaction-only competing generators, examine equilibria of the full coupled system, and perturb the observation model. Results We establish bounded stochastic dynamics, a conditional scalar multistability boundary, stable-branch stress sensitivity, and a sufficient local state-observability condition. A seeded benchmark with 180 simulated participants yields model-implied stress-by-symptom slopes of 66.83 ms for response time, 1.12 μV for LPP, 0.775 dB for frontal theta, 0.133 for FAA, and 0.0769 for frontoparietal PLV. Under a non-linear generating process, mean held-out RMSE was 0.060 for the pre-specified quartic candidate vs. 0.436 for the interaction-only candidate. State-reconstruction RMSE increased from 0.152 under the nominal loading matrix to 0.232 under 15% loading perturbations. Discussion These results demonstrate implementation consistency and characterize model sensitivity; they are not clinical effect estimates or evidence of empirical parameter identifiability.

Aims and background: The sleep-wake cycle and sleep consolidation are essential to children's growth and development.There is a paucity of studies on the sleep characteristics and the effect of electronic media on them in healthy Indian infants and toddlers.The objectives were to assess the sleep characteristics of healthy Indian infants and toddlers and to examine the impact of electronic media on them.Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional study at a tertiary center in India, among healthy children aged 3-36 months.Those with concurrent illness (e.g., gastroenteritis, respiratory illness) were excluded.A Hindi version of the Revised Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ-R) was used to assess sleep patterns.Results: A total of 100 children were enrolled during the study period; their median (IQR) age was 12.1 (3.5, 18) months, with most of them being males (74%).The median (IQR) total sleep duration was 11 (10.0,13.3) hours.Electronic media exposure was noted in 83 (83%) children.Of them, 27 (32.5%)children were exposed to ≥1 hour/day.There was no significant difference in sleep duration, night awakenings, or wakefulness between media-exposed and media-unexposed groups in children.Similarly, there was no significant effect of media exposure on sleep characteristics.Conclusion: Sleep duration in infants and toddlers was below the international recommendation.A majority of children had exposure to electronic media, and one-third had exposure of at least 1 hour.Approximately three-fourths of parents didn't perceive the child's sleep problems.Clinical significance: There is an urgent need to routinely evaluate sleep characteristics in infants and toddlers and to increase awareness of sleep hygiene and media exposure among parents.

Sentiment analysis from video streams requires effective modeling of both temporal dynamics and multimodal cues. This paper presents a lightweight multimodal CNN-LSTM framework, designed for low-latency operation on live video streams, that classifies individuals' affective states as negative, neutral, or positive by jointly exploiting audio and visual information. The proposed system consists of four lightweight deep neural network models that fuse sequences of audio and visual features into a unified temporal stream, enabling the accumulation of sentiment evidence over time for robust prediction. To further enhance discriminative power, dynamic mouth state classification is incorporated, allowing the model to better capture subtle visual cues related to speech and sentiment. Experiments conducted on the Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech (RAVDESS) demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves a test accuracy of 84.89% on the three-class sentiment recognition task, competitive with substantially larger audio-visual architectures, while using an order of magnitude fewer parameters and maintaining low-latency operation. In addition, we provide a comprehensive comparison with multiple multimodal large language models (LLMs), evaluated under diverse input configurations and prompting strategies. The results offer practical insights into the strengths and limitations of contemporary LLMs for audio-visual sentiment analysis and highlight the continued effectiveness of compact, task-specific neural architectures for streaming audio-visual input.

Background Most person-centered research on exercise motivation has identified static profiles, leaving unclear how motivational configurations change over time, what psychological experiences are associated with those changes, and whether transitions predict subsequent exercise. This study examined the short-term mobility of exercise-regulation profiles, psychological-need predictors of specific transitions, and their prospective associations with later leisure-time exercise. Methods A three-wave prospective study followed 1,780 students from six Chinese colleges at approximately 4-week intervals. Exercise regulation, exercise-specific psychological need satisfaction and frustration, and leisure-time exercise were assessed at each wave. Continuous-indicator latent transition analysis identified longitudinal motivational profiles and transition probabilities. Posterior-probability-weighted models examined origin-wave need satisfaction and frustration as predictors of eligible transitions and tested whether first-interval transitions were associated with final-wave exercise after prior exercise was considered. Results Six profiles were retained: amotivated–controlled, low-regulation, mixed intrinsic–controlled, identified-dominant, intrinsic-dominant, and high autonomous–introjected. Overall profile stability was substantial but incomplete, with 76.9 and 73.8% of posterior transition mass remaining on the stability diagonal across the two intervals. The largest off-diagonal transition was from low regulation to high autonomous–introjected motivation (18.0 and 20.1%). After Holm correction, greater need satisfaction was associated with lower odds of moving from intrinsic-dominant or high autonomous–introjected motivation to low regulation (odds ratios = 0.47–0.49), whereas greater need frustration was associated with lower odds of moving from low regulation to identified- or intrinsic-dominant profiles (odds ratios = 0.41–0.62). In models controlling baseline exercise, movement from amotivated–controlled or low regulation to high autonomous–introjected motivation was associated with greater subsequent exercise, whereas several transitions toward less internalized configurations were associated with lower exercise. After additional adjustment for exercise measured at the transition endpoint, only the low-regulation-to-high autonomous–introjected transition remained significant. Conclusion Exercise motivation was substantially stable yet meaningfully mobile over short periods. Psychological-need experiences were associated with specific, origin-dependent motivational transitions, and selected transitions prospectively differentiated later exercise behavior. The findings support a dynamic and state-dependent view of exercise motivation and suggest that the psychological conditions relevant to maintaining internalized motivation may differ from those involved in moving out of low regulation.

Physics instructors often rely on demonstrations when teaching, using real-time examples to appeal to student intuition or tinkering with a physical system to develop a deeper and more natural understanding of a topic. However, some subjects, like Kepler's laws of planetary motion, are impractical to demonstrate at a human scale, and when reality proves difficult, it is often easier to move to simulations and video games. In particular, using video games in the classroom benefits student learning and allows students to learn practical information that they can transfer to the real world. The video game Kerbal Space Program (KSP) is notable for its commitment to accurate simulation of rockets and orbits, allowing players to explore the in-game solar system with their Kerbal astronauts only if they have mastered the laws of orbital dynamics. In my personal experience, I gained a better intuition about orbits during my years playing KSP than I did in graduate school, a common sentiment within the KSP community. I use KSP in my college introductory astronomy courses to make Kepler's laws more tactile with demonstrations and projects, developing intuition on advanced aspects of rocket science through experiments that are otherwise impractical at interplanetary scales.

Blended learning (BL) has become increasingly established in higher education, yet research has focused more on effectiveness, engagement, and learning regulation than on how face-to-face and online learning jointly facilitate value internalization. In Pancasila Education, this issue matters because learning outcomes extend beyond knowledge of values to students’ decision-making and relationships. This exploratory qualitative study analyzed open-ended questionnaire responses from 67 Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia students using directed qualitative content analysis, complemented by a contextual review of learning materials and activities available through SPOT UPI. The findings reveal four patterns. First, students perceived face-to-face learning primarily as a relational space for dialogue, clarification, deliberation, and collaboration. At the same time, online learning served mainly as a regulatory space for flexibility, access to materials, time management, and independence. These functions complemented each other but were not exclusive. Second, value internalization became visible when Pancasila shifted from content to be understood into a basis for decision-making, respect for differences, rule compliance, and responsibility. Third, good character was associated with relational pathways toward justice and collaboration and self-regulatory pathways toward discipline, responsibility, and work ethic. Social support, digital culture, and LMS reliability influenced these processes. Fourth, discrepancies between ideal values and reality triggered moral reflection for some students, described as productive moral dissonance. The study interprets BL as an architecture of relational-regulatory functions and suggests connecting social interaction, self-regulation, authentic cases, reflection, process assessment, and reliable digital infrastructure in Pancasila Education. Keywords: Pancasila education, Value internalization, Blended learning; Good character; Higher education

Although professional collaboration among teachers plays a critical role in enhancing school effectiveness and instructional quality, empirical studies that jointly examine the organizational and individual determinants of this collaboration remain limited. This study aimed to identify variables that significantly predict the likelihood of elementary school teachers engaging in professional collaboration. The study employed a quantitative, cross-sectional, and correlational survey design. The sample consisted of 310 teachers working in elementary schools in the city center of Siirt, selected through cluster sampling. Data were collected using the Servant Leadership Scale and the Professional Collaboration subscale. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the data. Results showed that school level, participation in professional activities, professional seniority, and principals’ servant leadership behaviors significantly predicted teachers’ likelihood of engaging in professional collaboration. In contrast, gender, marital status, educational status, length of time working with the school principal, and length of service at the school were not significant predictors. Overall, the findings highlight the role of servant leadership.

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) is not only intended to provide an understanding of religious concepts, but also to develop students’ ability to comprehend, internalize, and apply religious values in everyday life. Therefore, the learning process needs to move beyond mere mastery of subject matter and provide meaningful and in-depth learning experiences. This study focuses on analyzing deep learning-based PAI instruction from the perspective of Robert E. Slavin’s QAIT model, which consists of Quality of Instruction, Appropriate Levels of Instruction, Incentive, and Time, at SMP Negeri 1 Blora. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The informants consisted of three PAI teachers and two students selected purposively. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that PAI instruction has reflected the principles of deep learning through three main aspects: meaningful learning, mindful learning, and joyful learning. In addition, analysis based on the QAIT model shows that the learning process is supported by instructional quality, the appropriateness of instruction to students’ abilities, learning motivation, and time management. Nevertheless, limited instructional time remains a challenge in providing sufficient opportunities for in-depth learning through discussion, presentation, and reflection. This study concludes that the implementation of deep learning in PAI can support a more contextual, reflective, and meaningful learning process when supported by instructional quality, appropriate strategies tailored to students’ needs, learning motivation, and adequate time management.

This study explored collaborative lesson planning practices as part of lesson study-based supervision in selected public primary schools in Bagamoyo District, Tanzania. The study was guided by Social Constructivist Theory and employed a qualitative case study design, with Bagamoyo District as the bounded case and four selected public primary schools as embedded units of analysis. A total of 34 participants, comprising 28 classroom teachers, four head teachers, and two Ward Education Officers, were purposively selected. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, observation, and document analysis and were analysed thematically. The findings revealed that collaborative lesson planning was widely practiced in the selected schools through joint preparation of lesson plans, discussion of learning objectives and teaching strategies, development of teaching aids, and sharing of instructional knowledge and resources. Teachers reported that these practices enhanced professional learning, teaching confidence, pedagogical knowledge, and collective problem-solving. However, the implementation of collaborative lesson planning was constrained by heavy teaching workloads, limited time, inadequate instructional resources, and competing administrative responsibilities. The study concludes that collaborative lesson planning constitutes an important foundation of lesson study-based supervision and provides teachers with opportunities for continuous professional learning and improvement of instructional practice. The study recommends that school leaders and education authorities allocate adequate time and resources for collaborative lesson planning, strengthen institutional support, and minimise competing responsibilities that interfere with regular lesson study activities

This study examined the coping mechanisms and pedagogical challenges experienced by elementary teachers in utilizing interactive multimedia tools in selected public elementary schools in the Schools Division of Leyte, during School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it determined the teachers’ demographic and professional profiles, assessed the extent of pedagogical challenges encountered in terms of technological fluency, competence, curriculum and lesson integration, time management, and resource management, and identified the coping mechanisms used to address these challenges. The study also examined whether significant differences existed in the teachers’ assessments when grouped according to their demographic characteristics and determined the relationship between pedagogical challenges and coping mechanisms. A quantitative descriptive-correlational and descriptive-comparative research design was employed, involving the total population of 145 elementary teachers from five selected public schools. Data were gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire validated by educational technology experts and analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson product-moment correlation at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that teachers experienced varying degrees of difficulty in integrating interactive multimedia tools, particularly in managing technological demands, aligning digital resources with lessons, allocating preparation time, and addressing limitations in available resources. Despite these challenges, teachers demonstrated adaptive coping practices, particularly through collaboration and peer support, resourcefulness, adaptation, personal reflection, and self-care. The findings further indicated differences in some assessments when respondents were grouped according to selected demographic characteristics, while the relationship between pedagogical challenges and coping mechanisms reflected the teachers’ efforts to adjust to technology-related demands. Based on the findings, enhanced digital-based literacy teaching-learning activities were developed to strengthen teachers’ technological and pedagogical competencies and support more practical, engaging, and sustainable technology integration in elementary classrooms.

The color collocation of the design scheme should meet multiple constraints such as functional semantics, visual harmony, accessibility and style consistency at the same time. The existing rule template, image extraction and condition generation methods have structural contradictions between constraint controllability and combination diversity, and the color relationship is always outside the generation process, only for post-output screening. In this paper, the problem is formulated as a sequential decision problem of discrete color combinations under multiple constraints, and the relation-aware diffusion generation framework ColorRel-Diff is proposed. The discrete color token sequence is used as the generation unit, and the mask discrete diffusion is used to make each denoising step explicitly masked discrete diffusion. The color relationship coding module is constructed, and the harmony and contrast relationships are encoded as the edge features of the relationship graph and aggregated into the relationship perception embedding through the graph attention. A constraining-guided denoising mechanism is designed to guide the sampling trajectory by the gradient of relational consistency score, and the feasibility mask is used to impose inviolable token-level restrictions on the hard constraints, and the grading softening strategy is used to deal with constraint conflicts. A three-layer inspection system of distribution level, constraint level and design availability level is constructed, and experiments and ablation are carried out on the basis of increasing constraint strictness. The results show that the proposed method occupies a Pareto-dominant position in the diversity-harmony plane, and the satisfaction rate of accessibility hard constraints remains above 95% under pressure, which is significantly better than the baseline without explicit modeling constraints. The ablation confirms that relational coding and constraint guidance dominate the gains of harmony and constraint compliance respectively.

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) call for a renewed examination of the ontological meaning of the human being and the nature of psychoanalytic treatment.AI-based mental health interventions show potential for improving the accessibility and efficiency of care; however, current AI systems generate verbal responses on the basis of statistical patterns, and it remains difficult to regard them as capable of performing, in the same manner as human therapists, the embodied emotional experience and relational internal transformation that psychoanalytic treatment entails.This paper conceptualizes the persistent delegation of psychological functions to external systems as the "outsourced ego" and examines the possibility that this phenomenon may, over time, lead to a weakening of ego functions and a delay in the formation of subjectivity.It also discusses the structural problems of AI-based treatment, including the lack of explainability, the reinforcement of self-deceptive narratives through hallucination, and the absence of ethical responsibility.In addition, this paper considers the difficulty of implementing, in an AI-mediated environment, core mechanisms of psychoanalytic interaction such as containment, transference and countertransference, and the analytic third.In response, it proposes four practical virtues for preserving humanity in the age of AI: reflexivity, negative capability, relational courage, and responsible subjectivity.In conclusion, the development of AI technology should not remain confined to the question of whether human therapists can be replaced; rather, it should serve as an opportunity to reflect more clearly on the distinctiveness of human existence, which lies in the capacity to endure imperfection and live with others.

Background School-aged children that experience social anxiety and have difficulty with interactions among peers can create significant challenges to their development in terms of both psychology and behavior. A team sport such as volleyball provides a common setting that naturally includes all aspects of social interaction (communication, cooperation, role coordination, etc.) and shared goals which is essential to improve the child’s confidence in interacting socially and abilities to interact socially with peers. Objective This research is an examination of the effect that a 12-week collective volleyball cooperative tactical training program will have on social anxiety and peer interaction in children (8–12). Methods A sample of 80 healthy school-age children was obtained via two methods of campus based, voluntary and/or open recruitment. These children were then randomly assigned to either an experimental intervention group ( n = 40) or an active control group receiving standard physical education ( n = 40). For 12 consecutive weeks, participants in the experimental group engaged in a type of volleyball cooperative tactical team training that occurred on 3 days each week at 1 h per day. During this time the participants in the control group engaged in standard physical education classes of matched frequency and duration. Social anxiety was measured by use of the Social Anxiety Scale for Children (SASC); SASC measures include total social anxiety, fear of negative evaluation and social avoidance/distress. Participant peer interaction was evaluated using a study-specific 25-item peer-interaction questionnaire covering interaction initiative, peer acceptance, interaction coordination, interaction openness, and conflict resolution ability. Data collection occurred prior to, as well as subsequent to, the intervention. Statistical analyses were conducted utilizing SPSS version 26.0 software. A 2 × 2 mixed-design ANOVA was conducted to examine Group × Time interaction effects, with group (intervention vs. control) as the between-subjects factor and time (pre-intervention vs. post-intervention) as the within-subject factor. Effect sizes were reported using partial eta squared ( η 2 p ), and post hoc comparisons were performed when significant interactions were identified. Results Group × Time Interaction Effects from a mixed-design ANOVA were found to be statistically significant for both of the outcomes (social anxiety and peer interaction) of this study. Children participating in an intervention that included an instructional program using the Collective Volleyball Cooperative Tactical Training Model showed significantly greater improvement than did those in the Control Condition in reducing their level of social anxiety as well as improving their peer interaction abilities over the course of the 12-weeks. Although we found a statistically-significant improvement in both children’s social anxiety, and their peer interaction skills through a 12-week program, there is no data available for us to understand if those positive results will continue into the future because we did not assess children at later points in time. Thus, future researchers are encouraged to consider extended assessment periods as part of their study designs to determine how long such interventions have an impact. Secondly, as a feasibility study in a controlled environment showed promise for implementation of cooperative tactical volleyball programs, there may be barriers to successful implementation in regular school settings such as lack of facilities, class size and teacher workload. Future research is needed to examine how cooperative tactical volleyball programs can be adapted to encompass large groups of students and incorporated into routine physical education curriculum. Furthermore, although the intervention showed feasibility under controlled conditions, implementation in regular school settings may face practical challenges, including limited facilities, larger class sizes, and teacher workload. Future studies should examine how cooperative volleyball tactical training can be adapted for broader school-based implementation. Conclusion Collective Volleyball Cooperative Tactical Training is an effective method for reducing social anxiety and improving the ability of school aged children to interact with peers. The program offers a viable, school-based model for integrating sport skills acquisition (training) and psychosocial growth through physical activity.

This study examined whether an 8-week progressive temporal-occlusion training program improves early anticipation of forehand drop-shot direction in badminton. Seventy-eight university students with systematic badminton training experience were randomly assigned to a progressive temporal-occlusion group, a full-information active-control group, or a regular-activity control group ( n = 26 per group); 72 completed both pretest and posttest. The two video-training groups trained twice weekly for 8 weeks. Anticipation was assessed at four occlusion points: 80 ms before racket–shuttle contact, 40 ms before contact, at contact, and 40 ms after contact. Shot-direction anticipation accuracy was the primary performance measure, and correct-response reaction time (RT) was the secondary measure. Data were analyzed using mixed repeated-measures ANOVA, planned comparisons, and trial-level sensitivity analyses. Accuracy showed a significant group × test-session interaction ( p < 0.001), whereas the group × test-session × occlusion-point interaction was not significant ( p = 0.185). Relative to the active-control group, the progressive group showed larger accuracy gains at 40 ms before contact and at contact (Holm-adjusted p = 0.048 and 0.009, respectively). For correct-response RT, the three-way interaction was significant ( p < 0.001), with larger reductions in the progressive group at 80 ms before contact, 40 ms before contact, and at contact (all Holm-adjusted p = 0.013). Thus, the progressive temporal-occlusion training program produced additional improvements in selected anticipation measures beyond those obtained with dose-matched full-information video practice. The additional accuracy gains were observed at 40 ms before contact and at contact, whereas additional RT reductions extended from 80 ms before contact to contact. Because the three-way interaction for accuracy was not significant, the apparent temporal specificity of the accuracy gains should be interpreted cautiously.

Background and objectives Health literacy in adulthood plays a major role in an individual’s ability to use health information to benefit their health. Social determinants in early childhood initiate the development of health literacy through newborn brain development and oral language acquisition. Both of these processes are promoted by stimulation from everyday interactions with parents/caregivers at home and in the community. Unequal access to language-learning opportunities during early childhood represents a modifiable developmental and social determinant of later educational and health outcomes. There are inequities in these time-sensitive interactions—specifically language-learning opportunities—across families in the population, which are social determinants of early literacy, achievement in school, and later-life education, health, and economic and social well-being across the life span. This gap is most pronounced among children who grow up in poverty in the United States and internationally. The healthcare system in the United States effectively reaches to nearly all infants; however, language-learning opportunities are not a focus during well-child visits. The term “Language Nutrition” (LN) was coined in prior research to refer to these developmentally rich interactions known to support brain and language growth in children younger than preschool age. We developed Kansas City Brain Builders (KCBB) to address this inequity by promoting LN broadly among families and children in a community so that all children have a more equitable home language environment. The purpose of this study is to report longitudinal empirical findings on families and children related to the implementation of KCBB, a public health approach to community change, over 2 years. Methods The evaluation involved two parallel longitudinal studies: the Community study and the Family study. The Community study assessed the implementation of a KCBB multisectoral community partnership to promote LN-friendly changes in local programs, practices, and policies. The Family study involved longitudinal assessments of a sample of 83 English- and Spanish-speaking families with children younger than 36 months of age, evaluating the KCBB impacts on parental behaviors and child growth in language skills. Results KCBB led to a high level of documented program implementation and substantial LN promotion throughout the community. Repeated parent assessments indicated that participants had received LN messages from multiple community sectors over time, increased their knowledge of the importance of LN, and used LN through storybook reading, verbal responsiveness, and teaching behaviors during interactions with their children. Growth in children’s early language skills was significantly associated with the amount of LN they received. Discussion/Conclusion KCBB is one of the few multisectoral interventions designed to promote community-wide change targeting LN. It is a manualized intervention that can be replicated by other communities. This study employed three levels of measurement such that change could be evaluated in a theoretical framework of influence from community engagement to parental behavior and growth in child language skills. Findings provide preliminary evidence that a multisectoral community approach can achieve broad reach and is associated with changes in caregiver practices and child language growth. Larger, controlled, and replicated studies are needed to establish causal effects and determine whether such approaches reduce disparities in language-learning opportunities.

Background Diabetes frequently co-occurs with depression, anxiety, and diabetes-related distress, and psychological status directly influences glycaemic control and the risk of complications. Traditional mental health assessment relies on subjective scales. With the growth of digital health, digital phenotyping offers a new paradigm for real-time, objective mental health monitoring and prediction. However, the pathways through which these technologies perform monitoring and prediction remain unclear. Objective This scoping review aimed to systematically map the application pathways of digital phenotyping for mental health monitoring and prediction in people with diabetes, and to use machine learning-assisted text mining to analyse the main research themes and hotspots, thereby informing the future development of individualised risk prediction models and monitoring systems. Methods A scoping review search was conducted in six English databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library) and four Chinese databases (CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and China Biomedical Literature Database[CBM]), covering studies published from database inception to 10 September 2026. The search strategy was built around terms related to diabetes, digital phenotyping, and mental health. Machine learning-assisted literature mining was used to identify thematic patterns in the included studies. The study selection process and overall workflow followed the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Results A total of 2,968 records were retrieved. After screening, 10 studies were included. The evidence indicated that digital phenotyping mainly enables real-time monitoring of mental health in people with diabetes through signals such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), passive smartphone sensing, voice, and ecological momentary assessment (EMA). Machine learning methods were widely used for risk prediction modelling, but most studies built models at the group level, with only a few adopting n -of-1 analysis or subgroup prediction to achieve individualised risk prediction. External validation of models was generally lacking, and no intervention studies were identified. Conclusions Preliminary evidence suggests that digital phenotyping has exploratory potential for mental health monitoring and prediction in people with diabetes, but research that genuinely achieves individualised risk prediction remains limited. Closed-loop monitoring-intervention design and multicentre external validation are the main directions for future research. Systematic Review Registration https://osf. io/6wsaj/ .

Introduction Vehicular driving pattern analysis is important for improving road safety, driving efficiency, and intelligent transportation systems. The aim of this study is to analyze recent research on the major driver-behavior analysis tasks, which are driving pattern recognition, distraction detection, abnormal driving-behavior detection, driver profiling and identification, fuel-efficiency analysis, and driving-risk assessment. Methods The literature selection process was structured and included identification, screening, and eligibility. One hundred seventeen studies were used in this study, and 12 studies were selected for a detailed examination for comparative analysis. Results The studies analyzed have shown that driver-behavior analysis is becoming more popular with the use of machine learning, deep learning, sensor fusion, edge computing, and other new technologies. Existing approaches, however, are still scattered across behavioral tasks and encounter issues such as real-time processing, privacy preservation, scalability, model generalization, and integration of heterogeneous data. Discussion This study highlights the need for integrated and task-oriented approaches to address these challenges and support multiple behavioral assessments. The findings provide research directions on the development of scalable privacy-aware real-time driver-behavior analysis systems for connected and intelligent transportation environments.

The widespread availability of smartphones and internet access has made TikTok part of children’s everyday entertainment. This situation requires parents to guide children not only by limiting screen time but also through communication that helps children understand appropriate content and use. This study aims to describe and analyse parents’ interpersonal communication patterns in controlling TikTok use among children aged 7–12 years in Villa Gading Harapan 5 Housing Estate, Tambun Utara, Bekasi. The study used a descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected from April to June 2026 through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation. Five parents were selected as key informants using purposive sampling, while two children participated as supporting informants. The data were analysed through data reduction, presentation, conclusion drawing, and technique triangulation. The findings show that parents apply the five elements of effective interpersonal communication proposed by Joseph A. DeVito: openness, empathy, supportiveness, positiveness, and equality. Supportiveness is the most visible element, expressed through advice about age-appropriate content, direct supervision, time limits, and diversion to other activities. Openness remains the most vulnerable element because one child tended to restrict parental access to digital activities. The study indicates that controlling TikTok use is more effective when rules are accompanied by warm dialogue, emotional understanding, and opportunities for children to express their views. Parents should therefore maintain consistent, non-judgmental conversations and make digital supervision part of daily family interaction.

The Merdeka Curriculum is Indonesia's most significant curricular reform in a decade, granting schools and teachers wider autonomy over learning design, assessment, and the use of digital resources. Its success, however, depends on whether teachers are prepared to exercise that autonomy and whether technological support is available to sustain it. This article reviews 24 studies published between 2023 and 2026 to examine how teacher readiness and technological support have been addressed in research on the curriculum's implementation. A qualitative systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 reporting principles. Records were drawn from two bibliographic exports and supplementary searches, screened against explicit criteria, and analysed through thematic synthesis. Five themes emerged: conceptual understanding of curriculum components, professional development and training, pedagogical and assessment adaptation, institutional and management support, and technological competence and infrastructure. The synthesis shows that readiness is uneven across regions, school types, and subjects, and that the Merdeka Mengajar Platform has become a central support tool whose benefits depend on teachers' digital competence, time, and school-level facilitation. The article proposes a Readiness-Technology Alignment perspective, arguing that readiness and technological support should be planned together rather than treated as separate policy tracks. Implications for training, leadership, and policy are discussed.

This article develops a professional development approach that uses digital management projects to strengthen the managerial competence of vocational education leaders. The aim is to design a mechanism for transferring learning from a short training module into everyday management practice. The article employed documentary analysis of theoretical and methodological materials and compared them with primary sources on constructive alignment, the transfer of acquired knowledge to professional practice, and digital competence frameworks. The units of analysis are curriculum topics, allocated learning time, management actions and verifiable practical outputs. The documented module comprises twelve hours, equally divided between theoretical and practical sessions; its table does not specify independent study hours. A sequence of problem identification, solution modelling, bounded implementation and reflective analysis is proposed. The classroom module is linked to twenty-four hours of workplace project activity, producing a proposed thirty-six-hour pathway. Expected outputs include a decision rationale, a data dictionary, a monitoring table and an improvement plan. The contribution is an explicit instructional connection between learning a digital tool and substantiating a management decision. The proposed pathway has not undergone a new experimental evaluation. Conditions for subsequent testing and limitations of the design are specified

Introduction Climate change impacts are not gender-neutral, yet standard reporting relies on aggregate household indicators that obscure intra-household power dynamics and diverse individual vulnerabilities. This review assesses gender-differentiated climate resilience in rural farming households and evaluates the extent to which empirical evidence aligns with the gender-responsive, participatory and transparent mandates of the Paris Agreement. Methods Peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025 were retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, AJOL and Google Scholar following PRISMA guidelines. A total of 117 eligible studies were screened and analysed thematically using a hybrid inductive–deductive approach in R. Methodological quality was appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), and evidence coverage was characterised using GRADE-CERQual adequacy criteria. Policy alignment was mapped against Articles 2.1b, 7.1, 7.5, 11 and 13. Results Eight interrelated resilience domains were identified: livelihood, water, food, ecological, social, community, agricultural and economic. The review reveals a significant implementation gap between the Paris Agreement and ground-level reality. While Articles 7.5, 11 and 13 emphasise equity and participation, resilience is often achieved through paradoxes of depletion. We propose the Gendered Resilience Paradox Framework (GRPF), a novel theoretical model encompassing resilience as a distributive process rather than a neutral capacity. The framework identifies five interlocking mechanisms—workload-resilience, biological buffer, mobility-stability, restoration-marginalisation and hydrological time-poverty—through which household resilience is achieved via the systematic transfer of adaptation costs onto women’s bodies, time and agency. These paradoxes form a self-reinforcing Depletion Cycle, creating a resilience debt that may compound intergenerationally. A co-occurrence network (n = 117) shows that workload-resilience is the most frequently documented paradox (53.0%) and reveals that embodied paradoxes remain the least studied. Articles 2.1b and 7.1 show partial alignment; Articles 7.5, 11 and 13 show misalignment. Men also face climate-related hardships, including psychosocial stress, migration-induced vulnerabilities and systemic exclusion from aid. Discussion Resilience achieved through depletion is not resilience but a debt. Closing the implementation gap requires distributional indicators, time-releasing infrastructure, secure land tenure, and bundled interventions that address multiple paradoxes simultaneously.

The transition from early childhood education to kindergarten is a critical developmental period for all children, and one that can be particularly demanding for those with special educational needs (SEN). This article presents findings from a mixed methods case study conducted in two private schools in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. This study investigates how parental attitudes, teacher preparedness, communication gaps, and structural barriers influence school transitions. Findings reveal a consistent divergence in perspective: parents generally regarded transition difficulties as normal and time-limited, whereas teachers identified sustained, complex challenges related to emotional regulation, large class sizes, limited specialist training, and insufficient information about incoming children. Parental reluctance to accept a formal diagnosis was viewed as a significant barrier in both schools. Given the small and unevenly distributed sample, reported divergences are viewed as illustrative rather than generalisable. The study contributes to a growing body of research evidence on inclusive educational transitions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) context. Its originality lies in comparing perspectives within an under-researched educational and cultural context, revealing differences in how parents and teachers perceive transition difficulties. This context-specific evidence has implications for educational policy and practice.

Digital media has evolved from passive screen viewing into an algorithmically curated ecosystem of social platforms, short form video, games, generative artificial intelligence (AI), conversational agents, connected toys and educational technologies. These systems can support learning, creativity, communication, disability access and healthcare; however, engagement optimized design, commercial surveillance and synthetic content create risks that are not adequately captured by screen-time measures alone. This narrative review examines the effects of contemporary digital ecosystems on child and adolescent health and outlines implications for pediatric practice. PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar and guidance from the World Health Organization, United Nations Children's Fund, UNESCO and the American Academy of Pediatrics were reviewed, with emphasis on evidence published from 2019 to June 2026. Associations have been reported between problematic digital media use and sleep disruption, reduced physical activity, visual and musculoskeletal symptoms, obesity related behaviours, anxiety, depressive symptoms, cyberbullying, disordered eating and impaired attention. Causal interpretation remains difficult because effects are heterogeneous, often small, bidirectional and strongly modified by age, content, context, displacement, family relationships and pre-existing vulnerability. AI adds distinct concerns: persuasive personalization, inaccurate health information, anthropomorphic dependency, deepfakes, sexual exploitation, biased outputs, privacy loss and erosion of learning through uncritical outsourcing. Benefits are also substantial when technologies are developmentally appropriate, evidence-based, inclusive and used with adult support. Pediatric counselling should shift from counting hours alone toward assessing the child's digital ecosystem, sleep, function, content, compulsivity, safety and relationships. Effective protection requires shared family practices, school digital literacy, safety by design, age-appropriate assurance, transparent algorithms, data minimization and independent research. The goal is not a screen free childhood but a child centred digital environment that supports health, agency and development.

Quranic memorization learning in early childhood often faces challenges such as short attention spans and boredom caused by monotonous repetition methods, leading to mood fluctuations and low memory retention. Recognizing the importance of laying a solid memorization foundation early on, an instructional strategy that bridges recitation accuracy with children's psychological traits is urgently required. This study aims to analyze teachers’ strategies for integrating the talaqqi/musyāfahah method with a joyful learning approach to improve Qur’an memorization skills among children aged 5–6 years at TKIT Ar-Risalah Samarinda. This descriptive qualitative study employs a teacher-researcher design, in which the researcher independently serves as the sole teacher as well as the primary data collector. The research subjects consisted of 1 main teacher and 16 Class B3 students. Data were collected through direct observation, self-reflection journals, audio-visual recordings, and documentation of mutaba'ah book recapitulations. Data analysis was conducted interactively (reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing), and its validity was tested through triangulation of techniques and sources. The results showed that memorization planning was arranged gradually (1–2 verses per day) based on differentiation. The learning implementation combined auditory modeling (talaqqi) with game-based learning, kinetic ice-breaking, and positive reinforcement. This integrative strategy was proven to have a significant influence on three indicators: (1) improving the accuracy of makhraj pronunciation and basic tajwid in real-time; (2) fostering children’s confidence and independence in reciting their memorization; and (3) strengthening memorization retention through multisensory engagement without triggering cognitive fatigue. Obstacles in the form of short attention spans and fluctuating moods were successfully eliminated through break time and interactive games. This study concludes that accuracy in Qur’an memorization rules among pre-literacy children is best achieved when aligned with children’s positive emotional regulation needs. ABSTRAK Pembelajaran hafalan Al-Qur'an pada anak usia dini sering kali menghadapi kendala seperti rentang perhatian yang singkat dan kejenuhan akibat metode pengulangan yang monoton, yang memicu fluktuasi mood serta rendahnya retensi ingatan anak. Mengingat pentingnya penanaman fondasi hafalan sejak dini, diperlukan strategi pembelajaran yang mampu menjembatani presisi kaidah bacaan dengan karakteristik psikologis anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis strategi guru dalam mengintegrasikan metode talaqqi/musyāfahah dengan pendekatan pembelajaran yang menyenangkan (joyful learning) guna meningkatkan kemampuan hafalan Al-Qur’an anak usia 5–6 tahun di TKIT Ar-Risalah Samarinda. Penelitian kualitatif deskriptif ini menggunakan desain teacher researcher, di mana peneliti bertindak mandiri sebagai pengajar tunggal sekaligus pengumpul data utama. Subjek penelitian meliputi 1 orang guru utama dan 16 peserta didik Kelas B3. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi langsung, jurnal refleksi diri, rekaman audio-visual, dan dokumentasi rekapitulasi buku mutaba'ah. Analisis data dilakukan secara interaktif (reduksi, penyajian, dan penarikan kesimpulan) serta diuji keabsahannya melalui triangulasi teknik dan sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perencanaan hafalan disusun secara bertahap (1–2 ayat per hari) berbasis diferensiasi. Pelaksanaan pembelajaran memadukan pemodelan auditori (talaqqi) dengan game-based learning, ice breaking kinetik, dan positive reinforcement. Strategi integratif ini terbukti memberikan pengaruh signifikan terhadap tiga indikator: (1) meningkatkan akurasi pelafalan makhraj dan tajwid dasar secara real-time; (2) menumbuhkan keberanian serta kemandirian anak dalam menyetorkan hafalan; dan (3) memperkuat retensi daya rekat hafalan melalui keterlibatan multisensorik tanpa memicu kelelahan kognitif. Hambatan berupa rentang perhatian yang singkat dan mood fluktuatif berhasil dieliminasi melalui pemberian jeda (break time) dan permainan interaktif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa ketepatan kaidah hafalan Al-Qur’an pada anak usia pra-literasi dapat dicapai secara optimal apabila diselaraskan dengan kebutuhan regulasi emosi positif anak.

This case study examines how dialogic learning and teaching (DLT) can strengthen problem-based learning (PBL). Conducted in a fifth-semester communication course at Aalborg University, Denmark, the intervention explored whether the physical classroom can function as a meaningful dialogic space that enhances group work, collaboration, and student responsibility in alignment with PBL. Drawing on theoretical accounts of dialogue, particularly Wegerif’s framework, the study investigated class-level and group-level dialogue facilitated by the teacher rather than self-facilitated dialogue outsourced to isolated student groups. Empirical findings from surveys and classroom observations indicate that DLT fostered deeper engagement, strengthened mutual accountability, and improved students’ willingness to contribute, while also revealing tensions such as reduced opportunities for digital note-taking and the significant time required for high-quality dialogue. The study concludes that DLT can substantively enrich PBL by supporting shared problem exploration and collaborative meaning-making when adequate time and flexibility are provided.

Objectives: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection has affected the lives of all strata of society since its beginning. To control the spread of the disease, a lockdown was imposed. During this time, there was a substantial increase in the usage of gadgets and reduction in outdoor activities because of online studies that resulted in serious the mental health issues, especially in the paediatric population. Material and Methods: To study the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on screen time, playtime and behaviour of the students, the study was conducted on 153 subjects of 4–18 years age group attending the outpatient department, over a period of 3 months. A questionnaire format of ten questions was framed that was asked from the children or from their parents/guardians. This study included questions such as time spent on online classes, self-study or study with parents and gadgets used for the online classes. Results: Most of the children were students of classes upper kinder garden and I, comprising 19.0% and 18.3%, respectively. Females outnumbered males in the study. Weight gain was observed in 43.8%, and signs of irritability were observed in 68.0% of the children. Weight gain showed a statistically significant correlation with the duration of online classes, indoor and outdoor playtime with p-values of 0.044, <0.005 and 0.005, respectively. There was also a statistically significant correlation between change in behaviour with outdoor playtime and sleep timings with p < 0.005 and 0.019, respectively. Conclusion: This study concluded that there was a significant increase in screen time and a decrease in outdoor play activities during the time of COVID-19 pandemic with a statistically significant correlation with the weight gain and change in behaviour of the children.

As a developmental pediatrician, I’ve had the privilege of meeting children whose abilities are nothing short of extraordinary. These children might be the ones who read books meant for older kids, solve complex problems with ease, or create art that leaves you awestruck. They are often described as gifted but in India, this label isn’t always understood or embraced. Many gifted children go unnoticed, and as a result, their exceptional abilities remain untapped. Their needs aren't met, and their potential stays hidden. The time has come to recognize and nurture these gifted children.

Background This pilot study with class-level random assignment examined preliminary evidence on the associations between a structured physical game intervention and memory and attention in children aged 5–6 years. Methods A 12-week physical game program based on cognitive load theory was designed and implemented, consisting of three 60-minute training sessions per week. The program included various game activities designed to promote memory and attention development supplemented by smart interactive motion data collection devices. A pilot study with class-level random assignment was conducted among 59 children aged 5–6 years. Two intact kindergarten classes were included, with one class assigned to the experimental group ( n = 30) and the other to the control group ( n = 29). The experimental group received the structured physical play intervention, whereas the control group participated in routine kindergarten physical activities. The class, rather than the individual child, was the unit of randomization. Before and after the intervention, children's memory and attention levels were assessed using the Wechsler Memory Scale (measuring picture memory, visual reproduction, visual recognition, digit span forward, and digit span backward) and the Schulte Grid test. Results A 2 × 2 repeated-measures ANOVA showed significant Group×Time interactions for total short-term memory ( F (1,57) = 14.33, p < .001, η p 2 = .20), total immediate memory ( F (1,57) = 7.84, p = .007, η p 2 = .12), picture memory ( F (1,57) = 6.10, p = .017, η p 2 = .10), visual reproduction ( F (1,57) = 18.40, p < .001, η p 2 = .24), and digit span forward ( F (1,57) = 5.26, p = .026, η p 2 = .08). A significant Group×Time interaction was also observed for attention performance ( F (1,57) = 8.17, p = .006, η p 2 = .13). These findings indicated greater pre–post changes in the experimental condition than in the control condition for the outcomes examined. Conclusion These findings provide preliminary evidence that a structured physical game intervention was associated with improvements in memory-related task performance and task-related attentional processing in children aged 5–6 years.

On a global scale, the spread of alien invasive species is one of the leading causes of reduction in native species populations and, sometimes extinctions. Still, only a few studies in Africa have demonstrated the effect of alien invasive species on animal communities. In this study, we investigated the effect of the Siam weed (Chromolaena odorata) on the distribution and activity of a ubiquitous primate species, the olive baboon (Papio anubis), in Gashaka-Gumti National Park. We predicted that baboons would be mostly observed in areas that are not heavily invaded by the Siam weed and that the frequency of baboon activities would be higher in those areas. Using direct observations in radial line transects, a generalised linear mixed effect model, and chi-square tests, we found that Siam weed had no impact on the occurrence and activities of baboons in the national park. Interestingly, we observed that baboons frequently travelled in or around C. odorata bushes. However, we did not compare the percentage of time spent travelling with the time spent on other activities. Our study demonstrates that normal activities of ubiquitous primates are unlikely to be affected by the spread of the highly invasive Siam weed in an Afrotropical forest.

Background Cognitive differences across badminton performance levels may be task-specific rather than reflect broad executive-function advantages. Methods Ninety-six participants (33 high-level players, 31 recreational players and 32 non-badminton participants) completed word-color matching, task switching, 1-back and Raven testing. Analyses adjusted for sex, age and Raven score. Task-level MANCOVAs used Pillai’s trace, with HC3-adjusted RT models and binomial mixed models for follow-up comparisons. Additional models distinguished 1-back timeouts from accuracy among answered trials. Results Overall group effects were significant for word-color matching ( p < 0.001) and 1-back ( p = 0.011), but not task switching ( p = 0.592). High-level players responded faster in both word-color conditions than both comparison groups. Condition, response hand and response frequency were confounded, preventing an isolated interpretation of the condition RT contrast. In 1-back, timeout rates were 40.45%, 36.92% and 48.21% in the high-level, recreational and non-badminton groups; both badminton groups had lower adjusted timeout rates than the non-badminton group in both conditions. Accuracy among answered trials showed no clear group differences, and correct-response RT did not differ significantly ( p = 0.572). All-trial accuracy findings were sensitive to model specification. Conclusion High-level players showed faster word-color matching, and both badminton groups had fewer timeouts in the deadline-constrained 1-back task. The findings indicate task-specific performance differences rather than a broad executive-function advantage.

Introduction Taking a positive education perspective, this study investigates the link between subjective well-being (SWB) and student engagement. Although many studies have found a positive link between the two multidimensional constructs, the literature lacks longitudinal analyses. Methods Based on the broaden-and-build theory and the upwards spiral hypothesis it was hypothesised that the dimensions of the two constructs would show bidirectional relationships. To test this, 1,762 fifth-grade students in Austria completed an online survey at two time points; the data were then analysed using a cross-lagged panel model with a three-factor model of SWB (positive affect, negative affect and life satisfaction) and a bifactorial model of student engagement (a general factor for student engagement and a specific factor for emotional engagement). Results Only one bidirectional relationship was found – between general student engagement and positive affect – but significant positive effects of both the general and specific student engagement factors at Time 1 on life satisfaction at Time 2 and of the specific engagement factor at Time 1 on positive affect at Time 2 were also identified. However, no significant relationships were found between either of the student engagement factors and negative affect. Conclusions Overall, the findings highlight the positive association between SWB and student engagement. Therefore, the results provide support for the upward spiral hypothesis and partial support for the broaden-and-build theory.

Selecting a colour palette that suits its design context (application domain, audience, and accessibility profile) affects usability, engagement, and accessibility, yet remains a difficult computational problem. Vision–language models (VLMs) have improved performance on this task but share three limitations: deterministic outputs cannot represent the variance inherent in a design brief, single-scalar training fixes the harmony–accessibility trade-off at training time, and post-hoc context filtering leaves the generator itself context-blind. We argue that these limitations stem from the output representation rather than the encoder. CAIM (Context-Aware Intelligent palette Modelling) represents palettes as a context-conditional Gaussian mixture in CIELAB whose parameters are predicted from frozen vision–language embeddings by a learned head. It refines sampled candidates under five objectives designed to target distinct and complementary mathematical features with reference-direction-based many-objective optimisation and ranks them with a context-conditioned selection rule. On four public datasets and a 3200-scenario context-rich dataset, CAIM achieves up to 23% higher predicted ratings than the strongest baseline, a 22-percentage-point gain in APCA readability over the strongest baseline, and a Pareto hypervolume 34% larger than the convex hull of baseline solutions, at 1.6 s per scenario. Modelling VLM-conditioned generation as a context-conditional distribution is promising for design tasks with inherently uncertain outputs.

Abstract Amid growing calls for Australian universities to engage meaningfully with Indigenous knowledges, this article examines how Indigenous-led, place-based inquiry can reorient academic practice toward culturally regenerative possibilities. Drawing on a Cooperative Inquiry conducted with Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar, we follow six Noongar-led experiences involving Country, language, ceremony, deep time, embodiment and more-than-human relations. Through cycles of experiential, presentational and reflective practice, these engagements restructured attention, temporality and conduct, foregrounding relational ethics of permission, reciprocity and refusal. Multimodal forms including movement, image and creative response were treated as epistemic practices, enabling us to register affective and relational reorientations that are not readily accessible through propositional forms alone. Our analysis traces how these reorientations unsettled extractive research habits and repositioned knowledge-making as embodied, participatory and accountable to Country. We argue that culturally regenerative university practice does not emerge through policy statements, curricular add-ons or inclusion alone, but through lived, relational engagements that reconfigure how knowledge is generated, held and shared. The study contributes empirical insight into how such reconfigurations unfold in practice and highlights the institutional conditions required to sustain accountable relationships with place.

چکیده: در میان درخواست‌های فزاینده برای مشارکت معنادار دانشگاه‌های استرالیا با دانش‌های بومی، این مقاله بررسی می‌کند که چگونه پژوهش مبتنی بر مکان و هدایت‌شده توسط بومیان می‌تواند عمل دانشگاهی را به سوی امکانات فرهنگی باززاینده جهت‌دهی کند. با بهره‌گیری از یک پژوهش همکارانه (Cooperative Inquiry) که با Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar انجام شد، شش تجربه هدایت‌شده توسط Noongar شامل ارتباط با سرزمین (Country)، زبان، آیین، زمان عمیق، تجسم و روابط فراتر از انسان دنبال می‌شود. از طریق چرخه‌های تجربه‌محور، ارائه‌ای و بازتابی، این مشارکت‌ها توجه، زمان‌مندی و رفتار را بازساختند و اخلاق رابطه‌ای اجازه، دوسویگی و امتناع را در کانون قرار دادند. اشکال چندرسانه‌ای از جمله حرکت، تصویر و پاسخ خلاقانه به عنوان شیوه‌های معرفتی تلقی شدند و این امکان را فراهم کردند تا جهت‌گیری‌های عاطفی و رابطه‌ای را که به آسانی از طریق اشکال گزاره‌ای قابل دسترسی نیستند، ثبت کنیم. تحلیل ما نشان می‌دهد که این جهت‌گیری‌ها عادات پژوهشی استخراج‌گرایانه را به چالش کشیده و تولید دانش را به عنوان امری مجسم، مشارکتی و پاسخگو نسبت به سرزمین بازتعریف کردند. استدلال می‌شود که عمل دانشگاهی باززاینده فرهنگی نه از طریق بیانیه‌های سیاستی، افزوده‌های برنامه درسی یا صرفاً شمول، بلکه از طریق مشارکت‌های زیسته و رابطه‌ای که نحوه تولید، نگهداری و به اشتراک‌گذاری دانش را بازپیکربندی می‌کند، پدید می‌آید. این مطالعه بینش تجربی درباره چگونگی وقوع این بازپیکربندی‌ها در عمل ارائه می‌دهد و شرایط نهادی لازم برای حفظ روابط پاسخگو با مکان را برجسته می‌سازد.

This study aimed to determine the challenges encountered by Junior High School teachers of Domalandan Center Integrated School in teaching literature during School Year 2025–2026. It examined the respondents’ profile in terms of highest educational attainment, length of service, seminars attended, and subject taught; the level of challenges in learner-related, teacher-related, resource/material, and institutional/time factors; the relationship between profile and challenges; and proposed intervention measures. Anchored on Constructivism, Social Learning Theory, Cognitive Load Theory, and Schema Theory, and guided by Republic Act 10533 and relevant DepEd policies, the study employed a descriptive-survey design. Fifty Junior High School teachers from various learning areas served as respondents. Data were gathered through a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using frequency count, percentage, weighted mean, and Pearson correlation. Findings showed that most respondents were Bachelor’s degree holders with 6–10 years of teaching experience and moderate seminar participation. Teachers generally Encountered difficulties in teaching literature (overall mean 4.19). Learner-related (4.35) and resource/material (4.25) challenges were Highly Encountered, while teacher-related (4.10) and institutional/time (4.05) challenges were Encountered. Significant relationships were found between length of service and challenges (r = 0.62, p = 0.048) and between seminars attended and challenges (r = 0.71, p = 0.021). The study concludes that teaching experience and professional development influence the perception of instructional difficulties. It recommends targeted training, resource enhancement, learner-centered strategies, and sustained institutional support. The study aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) by addressing barriers to effective literature instruction. It contributes to educational and institutional sustainability through improved teacher capacity, learner engagement, and resource provision that support long-term quality teaching and learning.

این پژوهش با هدف تعیین چالش‌های پیش‌روی دبیران دوره متوسطه اول مدرسه جامع Domalandan Center در تدریس ادبیات در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۵–۲۰۲۶ انجام شد. در این مطالعه، مشخصات پاسخ‌دهندگان از نظر بالاترین مدرک تحصیلی، سابقه خدمت، تعداد سمینارهای گذرانده‌شده و درس تدریسی بررسی شد؛ همچنین سطح چالش‌ها در عوامل مرتبط با یادگیرنده، معلم، منابع/مواد و عوامل نهادی/زمانی، رابطه بین مشخصات و چالش‌ها و اقدامات مداخله‌ای پیشنهادی مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفت. این پژوهش مبتنی بر نظریه‌های سازنده‌گرایی، یادگیری اجتماعی، بار شناختی و طرح‌واره و با راهنمایی قانون جمهوری ۱۰۵۳۳ و سیاست‌های مرتبط DepEd، از طرح پژوهش توصیفی-پیمایشی بهره برد. پنجاه دبیر دوره متوسطه اول از حوزه‌های مختلف یادگیری به عنوان پاسخ‌دهنده شرکت کردند. داده‌ها از طریق پرسشنامه محقق‌ساخته گردآوری و با استفاده از فراوانی، درصد، میانگین وزنی و همبستگی پیرسون تحلیل شد. یافته‌ها نشان داد که اکثر پاسخ‌دهندگان دارای مدرک کارشناسی با ۶ تا ۱۰ سال سابقه تدریس و مشارکت متوسط در سمینارها بودند. به طور کلی، دبیران در تدریس ادبیات با دشواری‌هایی مواجه بودند (میانگین کلی ۴.۱۹). چالش‌های مرتبط با یادگیرنده (۴.۳۵) و منابع/مواد (۴.۲۵) به میزان زیادی تجربه شد، در حالی که چالش‌های مرتبط با معلم (۴.۱۰) و نهادی/زمانی (۴.۰۵) تجربه شد. بین سابقه خدمت و چالش‌ها (r = 0.62, p = 0.048) و بین تعداد سمینارهای گذرانده‌شده و چالش‌ها (r = 0.71, p = 0.021) رابطه معناداری مشاهده شد. پژوهش نتیجه می‌گیرد که تجربه تدریس و توسعه حرفه‌ای بر ادراک دشواری‌های آموزشی تأثیرگذار است. پیشنهاد می‌شود آموزش‌های هدفمند، ارتقای منابع، راهبردهای یادگیرنده‌محور و حمایت نهادی پایدار تقویت شود. این مطالعه با هدف توسعه پایدار ۴ (آموزش با کیفیت) همسو بوده و با رفع موانع تدریس مؤثر ادبیات، به پایداری آموزشی و نهادی از طریق ارتقای توانمندی دبیران، افزایش مشارکت یادگیرندگان و تأمین منابع برای حمایت از آموزش و یادگیری با کیفیت در بلندمدت کمک می‌کند.

Teacher–student relationships outside formal lessons are part of school social life and may provide opportunities to practice democratic values. This qualitative case study examined patterns of out-of-class interaction, their relationship to democratic values, and factors shaping them at SMK Lingga Kencana Depok. Fourteen informants participated: two vice principals, a Pancasila and Civic Education teacher, a religious education teacher, and ten eleventh-grade students. Data came from in-depth interviews, non-participant observations, and documentation, analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Findings show open communication, mutual respect, professional closeness, and opportunities for students to express opinions. Democratic values appeared through openness, respect for differences, participation, dialogue, and responsibility. Teachers’ personal approaches and the school environment supported interaction, while differences in student characteristics, limited time, and some students’ lack of confidence posed challenges. Unlike studies centered on formal lessons or structured programs, this case foregrounds everyday out-of-class interactions in vocational education. These interactions may provide a contextual space for practicing democratic values relevant to building democratic culture, but this case study does not establish a direct causal effect on its formation.

Background. Indonesian language instruction at the high school (SMA), vocational high school (SMK), and Islamic high school (MAN) levels still tends to be focused on mastering course content, resulting in students' in-depth understanding not yet being optimal. Aims. This study aims to describe the implementation of the deep learning approach in Indonesian language instruction at high schools, vocational high schools, and Islamic high schools in Cirebon City, examining aspects of planning, implementation, language use, instructional structure, as well as challenges and their solutions. Methods. The study employed a qualitative approach using descriptive methods; data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Result. The results indicate that all three schools have applied the principles of meaningful learning, mindful learning, and joyful learning to varying degrees, with one school demonstrating the most optimal implementation due to consistency across all aspects of instruction. Challenges still faced include time constraints, variations in student abilities, and less-than-ideal classroom conditions, which teachers address through adaptive strategies such as the use of engaging learning media and adjustments to teaching methods. Conclusion. This study concludes that the successful implementation of deep learning depends not only on the planning and execution of instruction but also on strengthening teacher competencies and support from the learning environment.

Academic advising and personal tutoring are deeply relational practices, yet they are often expected to flourish within institutional structures that unintentionally erode connection. This opinion piece argues that belonging is not simply something students feel. It is shaped by the hidden curriculum of institutional design, particularly through the organisation of time and space. Drawing on practice at a small specialist college in Ireland, it explores how timetabling, orientation sequencing, and protected periods within the weekly schedule send powerful signals to students about whether they matter. When time and space is approached as intentional design features rather than neutral administrative decisions, the conditions in which advising relationships can take root are strengthened. For advisors and tutors supporting students with limited discretionary time on campus, reframing belonging as something designed rather than delivered is increasingly essential.

This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Dance Art learning for class IX.1 at SMP Islam Terpadu Budi Mulia Padang, focusing on the suitability of planning, implementation, and evaluation with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum. A qualitative method with a phenomenological approach was used, with the Dance Art teacher of class IX.1 as the primary data source. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, teaching module document analysis, and documentation, then processed through data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that: (1) lesson planning through the teaching module generally aligns with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum, although the Creating element of the learning outcomes was not explicitly stated; (2) implementation followed a Project Based Learning (PjBL) model across three meetings, engaging students in observing, discussing, designing, and performing a group creative dance work, although the three-meeting time allocation was not yet sufficient for the ideal PjBL stages, and some male students showed limited confidence; and (3) evaluation was carried out through diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments, with 95% of students achieving mastery on the theoretical aspect but only 65% on the practical aspect. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Dance Art learning has generally been consistent with its guiding principles, while time allocation and equitable student participation remain aspects that require further attention.

The main purpose of this study was to determine the differences in executive function performance levels of esports players who play First-Person Shooter (FPS) and Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game types compared to non-video game players (NVGPs). Other purposes of the study are to examine the relationships of executive function components and their relationships with in-game rank and total game play time variables. The study groups consisted of ninety volunteer participants, all of whom were male young adults between the ages of 18 and 34, 30 of whom actively played FPS video games, 30 of whom actively played MOBA video games, and 30 of whom NVGPs. Corsi Block-Tapping Test (CBT), Wisconsin (Berg) Card Sorting Test (WCST), and Stroop Test Çapa Form (ST) were used as data collection tools. According to the findings of the study; FPS players had significantly higher scores than NVGPs (p < 0.001, F = 8.55) in CBT and less error percentage than the NVGPs (p < 0.01, F = 5.58) and MOBA players had significantly less interference time than NVGPs in the ST (p < 0.001, F = 7.66). In addition, there was a significant negative correlation between CBT and ST interference times for all players (p < 0.05; r = −0.28) and a significant negative correlation between in-game skill and ST interference times for FPS players (p < 0.05; r = −0.41). These findings suggest that digital video game experience shapes cognitive profiles based on genre-specific demands; while FPS gameplay primarily enhances visuospatial working memory capacity, MOBA gameplay fosters stronger inhibition control, with higher in-game skill level reflecting superior inhibitory control in FPS gameplay, and relationship of visuospatial working memory and inhibition components demonstrating an underlying interrelated structure.

هدف اصلی این مطالعه تعیین تفاوت‌های سطوح عملکرد کارکرد اجرایی بازیکنان ورزش‌های الکترونیکی (esports) که انواع بازی‌های تیراندازی اول‌شخص (First-Person Shooter یا FPS) و میدان نبرد آنلاین چندنفره (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena یا MOBA) را بازی می‌کنند، در مقایسه با افرادی که بازی‌های ویدیویی انجام نمی‌دهند (NVGPs)، بود. اهداف دیگر پژوهش عبارت بودند از بررسی روابط میان مؤلفه‌های کارکرد اجرایی و ارتباط آن‌ها با متغیرهای رتبه درون‌بازی و مجموع زمان بازی. گروه‌های مطالعه شامل نود شرکت‌کننده داوطلب مرد جوان در بازه سنی ۱۸ تا ۳۴ سال بودند که ۳۰ نفر از آن‌ها به طور فعال بازی‌های ویدیویی FPS، ۳۰ نفر به طور فعال بازی‌های ویدیویی MOBA و ۳۰ نفر NVGPs بودند. برای جمع‌آوری داده‌ها از آزمون ضربه‌زدن به بلوک کورسی (Corsi Block-Tapping Test یا CBT)، آزمون دسته‌بندی کارت ویسکانسین (Berg) (Wisconsin (Berg) Card Sorting Test یا WCST) و آزمون استروپ فرم چَپا (Stroop Test Çapa Form یا ST) استفاده شد. بر اساس یافته‌های پژوهش؛ بازیکنان FPS در آزمون CBT به طور معناداری امتیاز بالاتری نسبت به NVGPs داشتند (p < 0.001, F = 8.55) و درصد خطای کمتری نسبت به NVGPs داشتند (p < 0.01, F = 5.58) و بازیکنان MOBA در آزمون ST زمان تداخل به طور معناداری کمتری نسبت به NVGPs داشتند (p < 0.001, F = 7.66). علاوه بر این، برای همه بازیکنان بین زمان‌های تداخل CBT و ST همبستگی منفی معناداری وجود داشت (p < 0.05; r = −0.28) و برای بازیکنان FPS بین مهارت درون‌بازی و زمان تداخل ST همبستگی منفی معناداری مشاهده شد (p < 0.05; r = −0.41). این یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که تجربه بازی‌های ویدیویی دیجیتال، پروفایل‌های شناختی را بر اساس نیازهای خاص هر ژانر شکل می‌دهد؛ به‌طوری‌که بازی FPS عمدتاً ظرفیت حافظه کاری فضایی-بصری را افزایش می‌دهد، در حالی که بازی MOBA کنترل مهاری قوی‌تری را پرورش می‌دهد و سطح بالاتر مهارت درون‌بازی، کنترل مهاری برتر را در بازی FPS منعکس می‌کند و رابطه بین مؤلفه‌های حافظه کاری فضایی-بصری و مهار، ساختار درهم‌تنیده زیربنایی را نشان می‌دهد.

Against the background of artificial intelligence (AI) reshaping the labor market, employment anxiety among higher vocational college students is becoming increasingly prominent. Grounded in Career Construction Theory, this study aims to explore the relationship between AI literacy and employment anxiety among Chinese higher vocational college students, with a specific focus on the chain mediating roles of career planning and future time perspective. A total of 1,234 students from five industry-featured higher vocational colleges in Jiangxi Province, China, were surveyed using self-report scales measuring AI literacy, employment anxiety, career planning, and future time perspective. The relationships among these variables were tested using the PROCESS macro (Model 6) for SPSS. The results indicated that (1) all variables were significantly correlated with one another; (2) AI literacy exhibited a significant positive total association with employment anxiety, which decomposed into a substantial positive direct association and a negative total indirect association; (3) AI literacy exerted a significant negative indirect association on employment anxiety through three pathways, namely, the independent mediating roles of career planning and future time perspective, and their chain mediating role, while the total association remained positive. These findings suggest that while higher AI literacy may heighten students’ awareness of labor-market disruptions, its negative indirect associations with employment anxiety operate through enhanced career planning and future orientation. It is recommended that higher vocational colleges consider integrating AI literacy education into career guidance programs, strengthening students’ career planning competencies, and cultivating a long-term future orientation, so as to potentially strengthen the anxiety-buffering pathway associated with AI literacy.

در بستر تحول بازار کار توسط هوش مصنوعی (AI)، اضطراب شغلی در میان دانشجویان آموزش عالی فنی و حرفه‌ای به طور فزاینده‌ای برجسته می‌شود. این مطالعه که مبتنی بر نظریه ساخت شغلی است، با هدف بررسی رابطه بین سواد هوش مصنوعی و اضطراب شغلی در میان دانشجویان آموزش عالی فنی و حرفه‌ای چینی انجام شده است و به طور خاص بر نقش‌های میانجی زنجیره‌ای برنامه‌ریزی شغلی و چشم‌انداز زمانی آینده تمرکز دارد. در این پژوهش، مجموعاً ۱۲۳۴ دانشجو از پنج کالج آموزش عالی فنی و حرفه‌ای با ویژگی‌های صنعتی در استان جیانگشی چین با استفاده از مقیاس‌های خودگزارشی سنجش سواد هوش مصنوعی، اضطراب شغلی، برنامه‌ریزی شغلی و چشم‌انداز زمانی آینده مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. روابط میان این متغیرها با استفاده از ماکروی PROCESS (مدل ۶) در نرم‌افزار SPSS آزمون شد. نتایج نشان داد که (۱) تمامی متغیرها با یکدیگر همبستگی معناداری داشتند؛ (۲) سواد هوش مصنوعی ارتباط کلی مثبت معناداری با اضطراب شغلی نشان داد که به یک ارتباط مستقیم مثبت قابل توجه و یک ارتباط غیرمستقیم کلی منفی تجزیه شد؛ (۳) سواد هوش مصنوعی از طریق سه مسیر، یعنی نقش‌های میانجی مستقل برنامه‌ریزی شغلی و چشم‌انداز زمانی آینده و نقش میانجی زنجیره‌ای آن‌ها، تأثیر غیرمستقیم منفی معناداری بر اضطراب شغلی داشت، در حالی که ارتباط کلی همچنان مثبت باقی ماند. این یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که اگرچه سواد بالاتر هوش مصنوعی ممکن است آگاهی دانشجویان از اختلالات بازار کار را افزایش دهد، اما ارتباطات غیرمستقیم منفی آن با اضطراب شغلی از طریق تقویت برنامه‌ریزی شغلی و جهت‌گیری به آینده عمل می‌کند. توصیه می‌شود که کالج‌های آموزش عالی فنی و حرفه‌ای، آموزش سواد هوش مصنوعی را در برنامه‌های راهنمایی شغلی ادغام کرده، شایستگی‌های برنامه‌ریزی شغلی دانشجویان را تقویت نموده و جهت‌گیری بلندمدت به آینده را پرورش دهند تا بتوانند مسیر کاهش اضطراب مرتبط با سواد هوش مصنوعی را تقویت نمایند.

Formative assessment is important in inclusive English classrooms because it enables teachers to gather evidence of learning during instruction and respond to diverse learning needs. This study examined how formative assessment was implemented in an inclusive Grade VIII English classroom, with particular attention to the relationship between assessment planning, classroom enactment, evidence of learning, feedback, and instructional adaptation. A qualitative case study design was employed using non-participant classroom observation, a semi-structured interview with the English teacher, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the interactive model. The findings indicate that formative assessment was embedded throughout instruction through questioning, observation, performance activities, feedback, and reflection. A key pattern was the difference between planned assessment and classroom implementation. Although the written assessment plan was primarily designed for the whole class, the teacher adapted instructions, task support, time allocation, and individual guidance in response to students’ learning evidence. Thus, in this case, the inclusive dimension of formative assessment was more visible in teachers’ real-time responsive decisions than in formal assessment planning. Because the study concerned one teacher and one classroom, the findings are presented as a context-specific account rather than a generalizable claim.

ارزشیابی تکوینی در کلاس‌های فراگیر زبان انگلیسی اهمیت دارد، زیرا به معلمان امکان می‌دهد تا در حین آموزش، شواهد یادگیری را جمع‌آوری کرده و به نیازهای متنوع یادگیری پاسخ دهند. این پژوهش به بررسی نحوه اجرای ارزشیابی تکوینی در یک کلاس فراگیر زبان انگلیسی پایه هشتم پرداخت و به طور ویژه به رابطه بین برنامه‌ریزی ارزشیابی، اجرای کلاسی، شواهد یادگیری، بازخورد و سازگاری آموزشی توجه داشت. این مطالعه با استفاده از طرح مطالعه موردی کیفی و به‌کارگیری مشاهده غیرمشارکتی کلاس، مصاحبه نیمه‌ساختاریافته با معلم زبان انگلیسی و تحلیل اسناد انجام شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از مدل تعاملی تحلیل شدند. یافته‌ها نشان داد که ارزشیابی تکوینی از طریق پرسشگری، مشاهده، فعالیت‌های عملکردی، بازخورد و تأمل در سراسر آموزش ادغام شده بود. الگوی کلیدی، تفاوت بین ارزشیابی برنامه‌ریزی‌شده و اجرای کلاسی بود. اگرچه برنامه مکتوب ارزشیابی عمدتاً برای کل کلاس طراحی شده بود، معلم با توجه به شواهد یادگیری دانش‌آموزان، دستورالعمل‌ها، حمایت از تکلیف، تخصیص زمان و راهنمایی فردی را تطبیق می‌داد. بنابراین، در این مورد، بُعد فراگیر ارزشیابی تکوینی بیشتر در تصمیمات پاسخگو و آنی معلم نسبت به برنامه‌ریزی رسمی ارزشیابی مشهود بود. با توجه به اینکه این مطالعه درباره یک معلم و یک کلاس انجام شده است، یافته‌ها به عنوان گزارشی زمینه‌محور ارائه می‌شود و نه ادعایی قابل تعمیم.

Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is associated with chronic energy deficiency and endocrine adaptations affecting multiple organ systems involving bone meta bolism and hematological homeostasis.However, early alterations in peripheral blood counts of adolescents with a clinically homogeneous AN phenotype remain in sufficiently characterized.Purpose: To examine the differences in blood counts and associated bone and endocrine parameters between adolescent girls with newly diagnosed restrictive AN and secondary amenorrhea and healthy agematched controls. Methods:The study included 59 patients and 20 controls.Hematological indices, anthropometric characteristics, body composition, bone mineral status, bone turnover, and endocrine status markers were compared, and a multivariate analysis was used to identify the predictors of blood counts.Results: Compared to controls, patients had significantly lower leukocyte, erythrocyte, and platelet counts (all P< 0.01), and 29% had cytopenia in at least one parameter.Bone formation markers (osteocalcin, aminoterminal propeptide of human procollagen type I, and alkaline phosphatase) and key endocrine parameters (insulin like growth factor1, estradiol, and free thyroxine) were suppressed.These alterations were also observed in pati ents with a normal bone mineral density and adequate vitamin B12 and folate levels.A multivariate analysis iden tified endocrine and bonerelated predictors of blood counts in controls but no consistent pattern of predictors in patients.Conclusion: Adolescent girls with restrictive AN and secondary amenorrhea demonstrated hematological al tera tions at the time of diagnosis despite the absence of a measurable skeletal impairment or micronutrient defici ency.These findings suggest that a chronic energy defici ency and endocrine adaptation are associated with early disturbances in hematological homeostasis.Peripheral blood count may represent an accessible clinical marker of systemic disturbances.

زمینه: بی‌اشتهایی عصبی (AN) با کمبود مزمن انرژی و سازگاری‌های غدد درون‌ریز همراه است که بر چندین دستگاه بدن از جمله متابولیسم استخوان و هموستاز هماتولوژیک تأثیر می‌گذارد. با این حال، تغییرات اولیه در شمارش سلول‌های خونی محیطی نوجوانان با فنوتیپ بالینی همگن AN به اندازه کافی توصیف نشده است. هدف: بررسی تفاوت‌های شمارش سلول‌های خونی و پارامترهای مرتبط با استخوان و غدد درون‌ریز بین دختران نوجوان با تشخیص جدید بی‌اشتهایی عصبی محدودکننده و آمنوره ثانویه و افراد سالم هم‌سن. روش‌ها: این مطالعه شامل ۵۹ بیمار و ۲۰ فرد کنترل بود. شاخص‌های هماتولوژیک، ویژگی‌های آنتروپومتریک، ترکیب بدن، وضعیت مواد معدنی استخوان، گردش استخوان و نشانگرهای وضعیت غدد درون‌ریز مقایسه شد و از تحلیل چندمتغیره برای شناسایی پیش‌بینی‌کننده‌های شمارش سلول‌های خونی استفاده گردید. نتایج: در مقایسه با گروه کنترل، بیماران به طور معناداری شمارش لکوسیت، اریتروسیت و پلاکت پایین‌تری داشتند (همه P<0.01) و ۲۹٪ در حداقل یکی از پارامترها سیتوپنی داشتند. نشانگرهای تشکیل استخوان (استئوکلسین، آمینوترمینال پروپپتید پروکلاژن نوع I انسانی و آلکالین فسفاتاز) و پارامترهای کلیدی غدد درون‌ریز (فاکتور رشد شبه انسولین ۱، استرادیول و تیروکسین آزاد) سرکوب شده بودند. این تغییرات همچنین در بیمارانی با تراکم مواد معدنی استخوان طبیعی و سطوح کافی ویتامین B12 و فولات مشاهده شد. تحلیل چندمتغیره، پیش‌بینی‌کننده‌های مرتبط با غدد درون‌ریز و استخوان را در گروه کنترل شناسایی کرد اما الگوی ثابتی از پیش‌بینی‌کننده‌ها در بیماران مشاهده نشد. نتیجه‌گیری: دختران نوجوان مبتلا به AN محدودکننده و آمنوره ثانویه در زمان تشخیص، تغییرات هماتولوژیک را علی‌رغم عدم وجود اختلال قابل اندازه‌گیری اسکلتی یا کمبود ریزمغذی‌ها نشان دادند. این یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که کمبود مزمن انرژی و سازگاری غدد درون‌ریز با اختلالات زودهنگام در هموستاز هماتولوژیک مرتبط است. شمارش سلول‌های خونی محیطی می‌تواند به عنوان یک نشانگر بالینی قابل دسترس برای اختلالات سیستمیک مطرح شود.

Critical thinking skills are one of the key competencies in the study of Islamic Religious Education and Character Education; however, in practice, students’ abilities to analyze, evaluate, solve problems, and draw conclusions are still not optimal. This study aims to determine the improvement in students’ critical thinking skills through the Time Token and Take and Give learning models and to identify the differences between these two models in the teaching of Islamic Religious Education and Character Education. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method and a nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 64 eighth-grade students at SMPN 2 Lubuk Alung, divided into two experimental classes. Data were collected through tests, observations, and documentation and analyzed using the Paired Sample t-Test, Independent Sample t-Test, and N-Gain. The results showed that critical thinking skills increased significantly in both the Time Token and Take and Give classes, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The N-Gain values were 0.5128 and 0.4636, respectively, which fall into the moderate category. The results of the Independent-Sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.425 > 0.05, indicating that there was no significant difference between the two models. Thus, both the Time Token and Take and Give models are equally effective in improving students’ critical thinking skills.

مهارت‌های تفکر انتقادی یکی از شایستگی‌های کلیدی در مطالعه آموزش دینی اسلامی و آموزش شخصیت به‌شمار می‌رود؛ با این‌حال، در عمل، توانایی دانش‌آموزان در تحلیل، ارزیابی، حل مسئله و نتیجه‌گیری هنوز به‌صورت بهینه توسعه نیافته است. هدف این پژوهش تعیین میزان بهبود مهارت‌های تفکر انتقادی دانش‌آموزان از طریق مدل‌های یادگیری Time Token و Take and Give و شناسایی تفاوت‌های میان این دو مدل در تدریس آموزش دینی اسلامی و آموزش شخصیت است. این پژوهش با رویکرد کمی و با استفاده از روش شبه‌آزمایشی و طرح گروه کنترل نابرابر انجام شده است. نمونه پژوهش شامل ۶۴ دانش‌آموز پایه هشتم دبیرستان دولتی شماره ۲ لوبوک آلونگ بود که به دو کلاس آزمایشی تقسیم شدند. داده‌ها از طریق آزمون، مشاهده و مستندسازی گردآوری و با استفاده از آزمون t زوجی، آزمون t مستقل و N-Gain تحلیل شدند. نتایج نشان داد که مهارت‌های تفکر انتقادی در هر دو کلاس Time Token و Take and Give به‌طور معناداری افزایش یافته است (مقدار معناداری ۰.۰۰۰ < ۰.۰۵). مقادیر N-Gain به‌ترتیب ۰.۵۱۲۸ و ۰.۴۶۳۶ بود که در دسته متوسط قرار می‌گیرد. نتایج آزمون t مستقل مقدار معناداری ۰.۴۲۵ > ۰.۰۵ را نشان داد که بیانگر عدم تفاوت معنادار میان دو مدل است. بنابراین، هر دو مدل Time Token و Take and Give به‌طور یکسان در بهبود مهارت‌های تفکر انتقادی دانش‌آموزان مؤثر هستند.

Athletes experience mental health difficulties at rates comparable to or exceeding those of the general population, yet disclosure and help-seeking are often constrained by stigma and performance-oriented norms. This study evaluated a brief, retired-athlete–led, team-embedded mental health literacy (MHL) session and examined changes in MHL, perceived psychological safety, and help-seeking intention among athletes from two Japanese competitive sport teams in the women’s category. Thirty-four athletes (badminton, volleyball) attended a 90-min session integrating psychoeducation and facilitated team dialogue delivered by retired athletes who had completed facilitator training in mental health literacy. Using a single-group pre–post–2-month follow-up design, outcomes were assessed at baseline, immediately post-session, and follow-up. Mixed-effects models estimated change over time, with exploratory stratification by baseline psychological strain measured with the Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire (APSQ). MHL improved from baseline to post-session and remained higher at follow-up (standardised mean changes of 0.72 and 0.65, respectively). Perceived psychological safety also increased and was maintained (0.65 and 0.59). Exploratory subgroup estimates varied by baseline strain, although time × strain-group interactions were not statistically significant. The proportion endorsing likely/very likely help-seeking increased descriptively (41%, 53%, 50%) but showed no clear time effects. These preliminary findings support further controlled and implementation-oriented evaluation of retired-athlete–led delivery and downstream help-seeking behaviour.

ورزشکاران با نرخ‌هایی مشابه یا حتی بالاتر از جمعیت عمومی با مشکلات سلامت روان مواجه می‌شوند، اما افشاگری و جستجوی کمک اغلب به دلیل انگ و هنجارهای عملکردمحور محدود می‌شود. این مطالعه یک جلسه کوتاه سواد سلامت روان (MHL) با هدایت ورزشکار بازنشسته و تیم‌محور را ارزیابی کرده و تغییرات در MHL، ایمنی روان‌شناختی ادراک‌شده و قصد جستجوی کمک را در میان ورزشکاران دو تیم ورزشی رقابتی زنانه ژاپنی بررسی کرد. سی‌وچهار ورزشکار (بدمینتون، والیبال) در یک جلسه ۹۰ دقیقه‌ای شرکت کردند که آموزش روانی و گفت‌وگوی تسهیل‌شده تیمی را با هدایت ورزشکاران بازنشسته‌ای که آموزش تسهیل‌گری در سواد سلامت روان را گذرانده بودند، ادغام می‌کرد. با استفاده از طرح تک‌گروهی پیش‌آزمون–پس‌آزمون–پیگیری دوماهه، پیامدها در خط پایه، بلافاصله پس از جلسه و در پیگیری ارزیابی شدند. مدل‌های اثرات مختلط تغییرات در طول زمان را برآورد کردند و طبقه‌بندی اکتشافی بر اساس فشار روانی اولیه با استفاده از پرسشنامه فشار روانی ورزشکار (APSQ) انجام شد. MHL از خط پایه تا پس از جلسه بهبود یافت و در پیگیری نیز بالاتر باقی ماند (تغییرات میانگین استانداردشده به ترتیب ۰٫۷۲ و ۰٫۶۵). ایمنی روان‌شناختی ادراک‌شده نیز افزایش یافت و حفظ شد (۰٫۶۵ و ۰٫۵۹). برآوردهای اکتشافی زیرگروه‌ها بر اساس فشار اولیه متفاوت بود، اگرچه تعاملات زمان × گروه فشار از نظر آماری معنادار نبودند. نسبت افرادی که جستجوی کمک را محتمل/بسیار محتمل اعلام کردند به طور توصیفی افزایش یافت (۴۱٪، ۵۳٪، ۵۰٪) اما اثر زمانی مشخصی نشان نداد. این یافته‌های مقدماتی از ارزیابی‌های کنترل‌شده‌تر و با رویکرد پیاده‌سازی برای ارائه با هدایت ورزشکار بازنشسته و رفتار جستجوی کمک در آینده حمایت می‌کند.

Proses penelitian meliputi preprocessing dataset, augmentasi data menggunakan ImageDataGenerator, pelatihan model CNN menggunakan TensorFlow Keras, penyimpanan bobot model, serta implementasi deteksi emosi secara real-time menggunakan webcam dan OpenCV. Model CNN dibangun menggunakan beberapa lapisan konvolusi, fungsi aktivasi ReLU, Max Pooling, Dropout, Flatten, Fully Connected Layer, serta Softmax sebagai lapisan klasifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model mampu mengenali ekspresi wajah secara real-time dengan tingkat akurasi yang baik serta mampu mengklasifikasikan tujuh kategori emosi berdasarkan citra wajah yang diperoleh dari kamera. Sistem yang dikembangkan diharapkan dapat menjadi dasar pengembangan aplikasi pengenalan emosi pada berbagai bidang yang membutuhkan interaksi otomatis antara manusia dan komputer. Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) is an application of computer vision and artificial intelligence that enables a system to automatically recognize facial expressions. This study aims to design and implement a real-time system for recognizing seven emotion categories based on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) using a webcam. The dataset consists of seven classes: angry, disgust, fear, happy, neutral, sad, and surprise. Images are processed in grayscale format with a size of 48 × 48 pixels and augmented using ImageDataGenerator. The CNN model is built with convolutional layers, ReLU, Max Pooling, Dropout, Flatten, a fully connected layer, and Softmax, using the Adam optimizer, a batch size of 64, and 50 epochs. Evaluation was based on training accuracy, validation accuracy, training loss, and validation loss. The results show that the model achieved a training accuracy of 95.10% and a validation accuracy of 93.40%, with a training loss of 0.19 and a validation loss of 0.27 at the 50th epoch. The implementation of OpenCV and the Haar Cascade enables real-time face detection and emotion classification via a webcam. Black Box Testing confirmed that all the application’s main functions operate as designed. This study contributes to the field by integrating CNNs with webcams; however, testing on independent datasets as well as measurements of FPS and latency are required in future research.

شناسایی هیجان از طریق بیان چهره یکی از حوزه‌های پژوهشی در بینایی ماشین و هوش مصنوعی است که به سرعت در حال توسعه می‌باشد. توانایی سیستم‌ها در شناسایی بیان چهره انسان می‌تواند در حوزه‌های مختلفی مانند آموزش، خدمات عمومی، سلامت، سیستم‌های امنیتی و همچنین تعامل انسان و رایانه (Human Computer Interaction) به کار گرفته شود. هدف این پژوهش، طراحی یک سیستم شناسایی هیجان انسان به صورت بلادرنگ با استفاده از الگوریتم شبکه عصبی پیچشی (CNN) است. داده‌های مورد استفاده شامل هفت دسته هیجانی است: angry، disgust، fear، happy، neutral، sad و surprise. فرایند پژوهش شامل پیش‌پردازش داده‌ها، افزایش داده با استفاده از ImageDataGenerator، آموزش مدل CNN با استفاده از TensorFlow Keras، ذخیره وزن‌های مدل و پیاده‌سازی شناسایی هیجان به صورت بلادرنگ با استفاده از وب‌کم و OpenCV می‌باشد. مدل CNN با استفاده از چندین لایه کانولوشن، تابع فعال‌سازی ReLU، Max Pooling، Dropout، Flatten، لایه Fully Connected و Softmax به عنوان لایه طبقه‌بندی ساخته شده است. نتایج پژوهش نشان می‌دهد که مدل قادر است بیان چهره را به صورت بلادرنگ با دقت مناسبی شناسایی کند و هفت دسته هیجانی را بر اساس تصویر چهره دریافتی از دوربین طبقه‌بندی نماید. سیستم توسعه‌یافته می‌تواند مبنایی برای توسعه برنامه‌های شناسایی هیجان در حوزه‌هایی باشد که نیازمند تعامل خودکار بین انسان و رایانه هستند. شناسایی هیجان چهره (Facial Emotion Recognition, FER) یکی از کاربردهای بینایی ماشین و هوش مصنوعی است که امکان شناسایی خودکار بیان چهره را برای سیستم فراهم می‌کند. این پژوهش با هدف طراحی و پیاده‌سازی یک سیستم بلادرنگ برای شناسایی هفت دسته هیجانی بر اساس شبکه عصبی پیچشی (CNN) با استفاده از وب‌کم انجام شده است. داده‌ها شامل هفت کلاس angry، disgust، fear، happy، neutral، sad و surprise هستند. تصاویر به صورت خاکستری و با اندازه ۴۸ × ۴۸ پیکسل پردازش و با ImageDataGenerator افزایش داده شده‌اند. مدل CNN با لایه‌های کانولوشن، ReLU، Max Pooling، Dropout، Flatten، لایه Fully Connected و Softmax، با استفاده از بهینه‌ساز Adam، اندازه دسته ۶۴ و ۵۰ دوره (epoch) ساخته شده است. ارزیابی بر اساس دقت آموزش، دقت اعتبارسنجی، خطای آموزش و خطای اعتبارسنجی انجام شد. نتایج نشان داد مدل به دقت آموزش ۹۵.۱۰٪ و دقت اعتبارسنجی ۹۳.۴۰٪، با خطای آموزش ۰.۱۹ و خطای اعتبارسنجی ۰.۲۷ در دوره پنجاهم دست یافته است. پیاده‌سازی OpenCV و Haar Cascade امکان شناسایی چهره و طبقه‌بندی هیجان به صورت بلادرنگ از طریق وب‌کم را فراهم می‌کند. آزمون Black Box نشان داد که تمامی عملکردهای اصلی برنامه مطابق طراحی عمل می‌کنند. این پژوهش با ادغام CNN و وب‌کم به حوزه مربوطه کمک می‌کند؛ با این حال، آزمون بر روی داده‌های مستقل و همچنین اندازه‌گیری FPS و تأخیر در پژوهش‌های آتی مورد نیاز است.

Disasters pose a formidable challenge for mental health support services in terms of resources and timely response. This study evaluated the effects of different types of events on the Mexico City population during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, under the assumption that high-resolution time-scale data analysis performed on ICT-based and telehealth systems could contribute to understanding psychological needs and to identifying events associated with short-term outbursts in support demands, estimating their time of occurrence, and the characteristics of calls for service. The study evaluated the effects of public announcements of quarantine measures, mental health press conferences, festivities during 2020, and earthquakes with public early warnings between 2020 and 2023 reported through national public institutions’ databases, the “Screening Tool for Mental Health Problems” and the “Lifeline Emergency Phone Call Service (LEPCS),” comprising 138,471 interactions. The analysis used qualitative and quantitative methods, including principal component analysis, correlations, and one-way ANOVA. The study successfully identified patterns in responses associated with acute stress, depression, and anxiety, as well as possible times of maximum demand associated with different types of events. Complex scenarios with multiple threats were associated with significant short-term outbursts, posing a challenge to support systems, with a documented case with an increase as high as 2651% on a single day. The research is novel in its time-scope analysis and event-wise approach, providing valuable insights for emergency planning and resource allocation. Additionally, the study proposes evaluation criteria for detecting potential system overloads in telehealth services to enable early countermeasures.

بلایا چالشی جدی برای خدمات حمایتی سلامت روان از نظر منابع و پاسخ به‌موقع ایجاد می‌کنند. این پژوهش تأثیر انواع مختلف رویدادها را بر جمعیت شهر مکزیک در نخستین سال همه‌گیری COVID-19 ارزیابی کرد، با این فرض که تحلیل داده‌ها با مقیاس زمانی با وضوح بالا بر روی سامانه‌های مبتنی بر فناوری اطلاعات و ارتباطات و تله‌مدیسین می‌تواند به درک نیازهای روان‌شناختی و شناسایی رویدادهای مرتبط با جهش‌های کوتاه‌مدت در تقاضای حمایت، برآورد زمان وقوع آن‌ها و ویژگی‌های تماس‌های خدماتی کمک کند. این مطالعه تأثیر اعلام عمومی اقدامات قرنطینه، کنفرانس‌های مطبوعاتی سلامت روان، جشن‌ها در سال ۲۰۲۰ و زمین‌لرزه‌ها با هشدار اولیه عمومی بین سال‌های ۲۰۲۰ تا ۲۰۲۳ را که از طریق پایگاه‌های داده نهادهای عمومی ملی، «ابزار غربالگری مشکلات سلامت روان» و «خدمات تماس اضطراری تلفنی (LEPCS)» گزارش شده‌اند و شامل ۱۳۸٬۴۷۱ تعامل بودند، مورد ارزیابی قرار داد. تحلیل با استفاده از روش‌های کیفی و کمی، از جمله تحلیل مؤلفه‌های اصلی، همبستگی‌ها و ANOVA یک‌طرفه انجام شد. این پژوهش موفق به شناسایی الگوهایی در واکنش‌ها شد که با استرس حاد، افسردگی و اضطراب مرتبط بودند و همچنین زمان‌های احتمالی اوج تقاضا که با انواع مختلف رویدادها مرتبط بودند را تعیین کرد. سناریوهای پیچیده با تهدیدهای متعدد با جهش‌های کوتاه‌مدت قابل توجهی همراه بودند که چالشی برای سامانه‌های حمایتی ایجاد کردند، به طوری که یک مورد مستند با افزایش تا ۲۶۵۱٪ در یک روز ثبت شد. این پژوهش از نظر تحلیل مقیاس زمانی و رویکرد رویدادمحور نوآورانه است و بینش‌های ارزشمندی برای برنامه‌ریزی اضطراری و تخصیص منابع ارائه می‌دهد. افزون بر این، مطالعه معیارهایی برای ارزیابی شناسایی احتمال اضافه‌بار سامانه‌ها در خدمات تله‌مدیسین به منظور امکان مقابله زودهنگام پیشنهاد می‌کند.

Introduction Traditional ethnic sports such as Zhuang Daoyin demand precise movement, yet conventional demonstration–imitation–verbal correction limits feedback timeliness and individualization. Artificial intelligence (AI) real-time posture feedback offers a scalable option, but most evaluations emphasize technical outcomes and overlook learning processes. Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), this study tested whether and how AI real-time feedback improves motivation and motor skill by engaging basic psychological needs, with competence as the hypothesized pathway. Methods In a 12-week field experiment, 12 intact classes (307 students; control n = 152, AI n = 155) were randomly allocated at the class level to an AI real-time feedback group or a traditional teaching group; three instructors each taught two classes per condition. Both groups received identical instruction; conditions differed only in feedback source during practice (RTMPose-based concurrent vs. teacher-led terminal feedback). Need satisfaction, motivational regulation (relative autonomy index, RAI), motor skill, and course satisfaction were assessed at pre- and post-test, and analyzed with linear mixed models and structural equation modeling (lavaan, MLR). Results The AI group showed significantly greater gains in competence ( d = 0.36, p = 0.003), autonomy ( d = 0.40, p = 0.001), motor skill ( d = 0.30, p = 0.010), and learning interest ( d = 0.38, p = 0.003), whereas relatedness was unaffected ( p = 0.974); intraclass correlations were negligible. In the structural model (CFI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.04, SRMR = 0.04), group predicted competence ( β = 0.17), competence predicted RAI ( β = 0.34), and RAI predicted motor skill ( β = 0.30); the autonomy and relatedness paths were nonsignificant. The effect of AI feedback on motor skill was fully mediated by the competence-to-RAI sequence (indirect p = 0.023; direct p = 0.097). Discussion AI real-time feedback improved motor skill by strengthening competence and supporting motivational internalization, while leaving relatedness unaffected—providing discriminant evidence that the tool acts through its affordances rather than diffuse enthusiasm. Systems enhancing performance and learning should prioritize feedback that makes progress legible, within a human–AI division of labor where teachers provide relational support. In conclusion, AI real-time posture feedback can enhance motivation and motor skill learning by satisfying learners’ competence need.

مقدمه: ورزش‌های سنتی قومی مانند Zhuang Daoyin نیازمند حرکات دقیق هستند، اما روش‌های متداول نمایش–تقلید–اصلاح کلامی، بازخورد را از نظر زمان‌بندی و فردی‌سازی محدود می‌کنند. بازخورد بلادرنگ وضعیت بدن مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی (AI) گزینه‌ای مقیاس‌پذیر ارائه می‌دهد، اما اغلب ارزیابی‌ها بر پیامدهای فنی تأکید دارند و فرایندهای یادگیری را نادیده می‌گیرند. این مطالعه با تکیه بر نظریه خودتعیین‌گری (SDT)، بررسی کرد که آیا و چگونه بازخورد بلادرنگ مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی با درگیر کردن نیازهای روان‌شناختی پایه، به ویژه شایستگی به عنوان مسیر فرضی، انگیزش و مهارت حرکتی را بهبود می‌بخشد. روش‌ها: در یک آزمایش میدانی ۱۲ هفته‌ای، ۱۲ کلاس کامل (۳۰۷ دانش‌آموز؛ گروه کنترل n = 152، گروه هوش مصنوعی n = 155) به صورت تصادفی در سطح کلاس به گروه بازخورد بلادرنگ هوش مصنوعی یا گروه آموزش سنتی تخصیص یافتند؛ سه مدرس هر یک دو کلاس در هر شرایط را تدریس کردند. هر دو گروه آموزش یکسانی دریافت کردند؛ تفاوت شرایط فقط در منبع بازخورد در حین تمرین بود (بازخورد همزمان مبتنی بر RTMPose در مقابل بازخورد انتهایی توسط معلم). رضایت نیازها، تنظیم انگیزشی (شاخص خودمختاری نسبی، RAI)، مهارت حرکتی و رضایت از دوره در پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون ارزیابی و با مدل‌های خطی آمیخته و مدل‌سازی معادلات ساختاری (lavaan، MLR) تحلیل شد. نتایج: گروه هوش مصنوعی افزایش معناداری در شایستگی (d = 0.36، p = 0.003)، خودمختاری (d = 0.40، p = 0.001)، مهارت حرکتی (d = 0.30، p = 0.010) و علاقه به یادگیری (d = 0.38، p = 0.003) نشان داد، در حالی که ارتباط‌مندی بدون تغییر بود (p = 0.974)؛ همبستگی‌های درون‌کلاسی ناچیز بودند. در مدل ساختاری (CFI = 0.94، RMSEA = 0.04، SRMR = 0.04)، گروه پیش‌بینی‌کننده شایستگی (β = 0.17)، شایستگی پیش‌بینی‌کننده RAI (β = 0.34) و RAI پیش‌بینی‌کننده مهارت حرکتی (β = 0.30) بود؛ مسیرهای خودمختاری و ارتباط‌مندی معنادار نبودند. اثر بازخورد هوش مصنوعی بر مهارت حرکتی به طور کامل توسط توالی شایستگی به RAI میانجی‌گری شد (p غیرمستقیم = 0.023؛ p مستقیم = 0.097). بحث: بازخورد بلادرنگ هوش مصنوعی با تقویت شایستگی و حمایت از درونی‌سازی انگیزشی، مهارت حرکتی را بهبود بخشید، در حالی که ارتباط‌مندی بدون تغییر باقی ماند—که شواهد افتراقی ارائه می‌دهد مبنی بر اینکه این ابزار از طریق قابلیت‌های خود عمل می‌کند نه صرفاً اشتیاق عمومی. سامانه‌هایی که عملکرد و یادگیری را ارتقا می‌دهند باید بازخوردی را در اولویت قرار دهند که پیشرفت را قابل مشاهده می‌کند، در چارچوب تقسیم کار انسان–هوش مصنوعی که در آن معلمان حمایت ارتباطی ارائه می‌دهند. در نتیجه، بازخورد بلادرنگ وضعیت بدن مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی می‌تواند با ارضای نیاز به شایستگی یادگیرندگان، انگیزش و یادگیری مهارت‌های حرکتی را افزایش دهد.

Background Rehospitalization is a key indicator of clinical instability in child and adolescent psychiatric populations, yet most studies focus on its occurrence rather than its timing and diagnostic context. It remains unclear whether high-risk adolescents and general child and adolescent inpatient populations show distinct patterns of clinical instability beyond differences in rehospitalization frequency. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study using a 10-year inpatient dataset from a national child and adolescent psychiatric center. A general inpatient cohort (N = 4016) was compared with a high-risk cohort (N = 570) defined by at least one police- or justice-related admission during the observation period. Rehospitalization rates, observed time to first readmission, length of stay, and diagnostic categories were examined. Results Admission-frequency distributions were broadly comparable between cohorts and did not differ significantly overall. Among rehospitalized patients, the median observed time to first readmission was 19 days in the high-risk cohort and 190 days in the general inpatient cohort. Length of stay was comparable between cohorts. Diagnostic-category distributions differed significantly between cohorts (χ²(3) = 2038.04, p < 0.001; Cramér’s V = 0.667), with externalizing and substance-related disorders predominating in the high-risk cohort (76.7%) and developmental–emotional disorders predominating in the general inpatient cohort (66.7%). Conclusions The two clinically defined inpatient cohorts showed different patterns of rehospitalization and diagnostic characteristics. Among rehospitalized patients, the observed median interval to first readmission was shorter in the high-risk cohort; however, this descriptive difference should be interpreted in the context of substantial baseline age differences and unequal opportunities for observing readmission within pediatric psychiatric care. These findings highlight the potential clinical relevance of considering observed readmission timing alongside diagnostic characteristics, while recognizing the limitations of unadjusted retrospective comparisons.

زمینه: بستری مجدد یکی از شاخص‌های کلیدی بی‌ثباتی بالینی در جمعیت‌های روان‌پزشکی کودک و نوجوان است، با این حال اکثر پژوهش‌ها بر وقوع آن تمرکز دارند تا زمان‌بندی و زمینه تشخیصی آن. هنوز مشخص نیست که آیا نوجوانان پرخطر و جمعیت بیماران بستری عمومی کودک و نوجوان الگوهای متمایزی از بی‌ثباتی بالینی فراتر از تفاوت در فراوانی بستری مجدد نشان می‌دهند یا خیر. روش‌ها: ما یک مطالعه کوهورت گذشته‌نگر با استفاده از داده‌های بستری ده‌ساله از یک مرکز ملی روان‌پزشکی کودک و نوجوان انجام دادیم. یک کوهورت بیماران بستری عمومی (N = 4016) با یک کوهورت پرخطر (N = 570) که با حداقل یک بستری مرتبط با پلیس یا قوه قضاییه در دوره مشاهده تعریف شده بود، مقایسه شد. نرخ‌های بستری مجدد، زمان مشاهده‌شده تا اولین بستری مجدد، طول مدت بستری و دسته‌های تشخیصی بررسی شدند. یافته‌ها: توزیع فراوانی بستری‌ها به طور کلی بین دو کوهورت قابل مقایسه بود و به طور کلی تفاوت معناداری نداشت. در میان بیماران بستری مجدد شده، میانه زمان مشاهده‌شده تا اولین بستری مجدد در کوهورت پرخطر ۱۹ روز و در کوهورت بستری عمومی ۱۹۰ روز بود. طول مدت بستری بین دو کوهورت قابل مقایسه بود. توزیع دسته‌های تشخیصی بین دو کوهورت تفاوت معناداری داشت (χ²(3) = 2038.04, p < 0.001؛ مقدار Cramér’s V = 0.667)، به طوری که اختلالات برونی‌سازی و مرتبط با مصرف مواد در کوهورت پرخطر غالب بود (۷۶.۷٪) و اختلالات رشدی–هیجانی در کوهورت بستری عمومی غالب بود (۶۶.۷٪). نتیجه‌گیری: دو کوهورت بستری تعریف‌شده بالینی الگوهای متفاوتی از بستری مجدد و ویژگی‌های تشخیصی نشان دادند. در میان بیماران بستری مجدد شده، میانه فاصله مشاهده‌شده تا اولین بستری مجدد در کوهورت پرخطر کوتاه‌تر بود؛ با این حال، این تفاوت توصیفی باید در زمینه تفاوت‌های اساسی سن پایه و فرصت‌های نابرابر برای مشاهده بستری مجدد در مراقبت روان‌پزشکی کودکان تفسیر شود. این یافته‌ها بر اهمیت بالینی بالقوه توجه به زمان‌بندی مشاهده‌شده بستری مجدد در کنار ویژگی‌های تشخیصی تأکید می‌کند، در حالی که باید محدودیت‌های مقایسه‌های گذشته‌نگر بدون تعدیل را نیز مدنظر داشت.

This essay examines how Roberto Benigni’s Life Is Beautiful (1997/1998) uses comedy to represent Holocaust trauma. Taking the proposition that comedy emerges from tragedy through time as its point of departure, it considers the ethics of humor in representing collective catastrophe. Through the film’s Chaplinesque performance, fairy-tale structure, restrained depiction of violence, and Guido’s imaginative protection of his son, the discussion situates Benigni within Italian cinema’s treatment of Fascism and historical memory. The essay revisits debates about historical authenticity and Holocaust representation, arguing that humor can invite ethical reflection as well as controversy. It considers the limits of cinematic representation and humor’s uneasy relationship to historical suffering, survival, and collective memory.

این مقاله بررسی می‌کند که چگونه فیلم «زندگی زیباست» ساخته Roberto Benigni (۱۹۹۷/۱۹۹۸) از طنز برای بازنمایی تروماهای هولوکاست بهره می‌گیرد. با اتخاذ این فرض که کمدی از دل تراژدی و با گذر زمان پدید می‌آید، مقاله به بررسی اخلاقیات طنز در بازنمایی فاجعه‌های جمعی می‌پردازد. از طریق اجرای سبک چاپلینی، ساختار افسانه‌ای، نمایش محدود خشونت و محافظت خیال‌پردازانه Guido از پسرش، بحث جایگاه Benigni را در سینمای ایتالیا و مواجهه آن با فاشیسم و حافظه تاریخی تبیین می‌کند. مقاله به بازخوانی مناقشات پیرامون اصالت تاریخی و بازنمایی هولوکاست می‌پردازد و استدلال می‌کند که طنز می‌تواند هم زمینه‌ای برای تأملات اخلاقی و هم ایجاد بحث و جدل فراهم آورد. همچنین، محدودیت‌های بازنمایی سینمایی و نسبت دشوار طنز با رنج تاریخی، بقا و حافظه جمعی مورد بررسی قرار می‌گیرد.

Time-of-day can affect optimal performance in educational and professional settings.Although institutional schedules such as early morning classes are known to negatively affect sleep and academic outcomes, the impact of assignment deadlines and examination timings is less clear.Here, we examined how the timing of 16,677 assignment deadlines and 1,371 examinations associated with sleep, wellbeing, and academic performance in a cohort of 636 first-year undergraduate students over their first semester at university.Sleep was objectively tracked using a wearable device, whereas well-being was assessed through daily smartphone-delivered ecological momentary assessments.We found that nearly half (44%) of total assignments were submitted within 24 hr of its deadline.Those due earlier in the day were associated with 11-49 min shorter sleep the night before the deadline compared with a typical night.Sleep satisfaction was also poorer with earlier deadlines, whereas stress and sadness levels were highest on days with early morning deadlines.Furthermore, morning examinations were associated with 61-82 min shorter sleep than both afternoon and evening examinations.However, both morning and evening examinations were associated with 5-6 percentage points poorer course grades on average compared with examinations commencing in the afternoon.Regardless of examination time-of-day, sleep the night before an examination was associated with course performance.Notably, each hour less sleep than habitual the night before an examination was associated with a 1.2-to 3-percentage point decrease in marks achieved.These findings suggest timing of assignment deadlines and examinations as a key modulator of student sleep, well-being, and academic success. Educational Impact and Implications StatementLast-minute submissions of student assignments due earlier in the day were linked to shorter and poorer quality sleep, and reduced well-being.Both morning and evening examinations were associated with poorer academic performance compared with afternoon examinations, but scores were moderated by sleep duration the night before.

زمان روز می‌تواند بر عملکرد بهینه در محیط‌های آموزشی و حرفه‌ای تأثیرگذار باشد. اگرچه برنامه‌های نهادی مانند کلاس‌های صبح زود به‌طور شناخته‌شده‌ای بر خواب و پیامدهای تحصیلی اثر منفی دارند، اما تأثیر زمان‌بندی مهلت‌های تحویل تکالیف و زمان برگزاری آزمون‌ها کمتر روشن است. در این پژوهش، بررسی کردیم که زمان‌بندی ۱۶٬۶۷۷ مهلت تحویل تکلیف و ۱٬۳۷۱ آزمون چگونه با خواب، بهزیستی و عملکرد تحصیلی در یک گروه ۶۳۶ نفره از دانشجویان سال اول کارشناسی طی نخستین نیم‌سال تحصیلی در دانشگاه مرتبط است. خواب به‌صورت عینی با استفاده از یک دستگاه پوشیدنی پایش شد و بهزیستی از طریق ارزیابی‌های لحظه‌ای زیست‌محیطی که روزانه توسط تلفن هوشمند ارائه می‌شد، سنجیده شد. دریافتیم که تقریباً نیمی (۴۴٪) از کل تکالیف ظرف ۲۴ ساعت پیش از مهلت مقرر تحویل داده شدند. تکالیفی که موعد تحویل آن‌ها زودتر در روز بود، با ۱۱ تا ۴۹ دقیقه خواب کمتر در شب پیش از مهلت نسبت به یک شب معمولی همراه بود. رضایت از خواب نیز با مهلت‌های زودتر پایین‌تر بود و سطوح استرس و غم در روزهایی با مهلت تحویل صبح زود بالاترین میزان را داشت. افزون بر این، آزمون‌های صبحگاهی با ۶۱ تا ۸۲ دقیقه خواب کمتر نسبت به آزمون‌های بعدازظهر و عصر همراه بودند. با این حال، هم آزمون‌های صبحگاهی و هم آزمون‌های عصرگاهی به‌طور میانگین با ۵ تا ۶ درصد نمره پایین‌تر در مقایسه با آزمون‌هایی که بعدازظهر آغاز می‌شدند، همراه بودند. صرف‌نظر از زمان برگزاری آزمون، خواب شب پیش از آزمون با عملکرد درسی مرتبط بود. به‌ویژه، هر ساعت خواب کمتر از میزان عادی در شب پیش از آزمون با کاهش ۱٫۲ تا ۳ درصدی در نمره کسب‌شده همراه بود. این یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که زمان‌بندی مهلت‌های تحویل تکالیف و آزمون‌ها به‌عنوان یک تعدیل‌گر کلیدی خواب، بهزیستی و موفقیت تحصیلی دانشجویان عمل می‌کند. بیانیه تأثیر و پیامدهای آموزشی: تحویل تکالیف دانشجویی در آخرین لحظات، به‌ویژه زمانی که موعد آن‌ها زودتر در روز است، با خواب کوتاه‌تر و با کیفیت پایین‌تر و کاهش بهزیستی مرتبط بود. هم آزمون‌های صبحگاهی و هم عصرگاهی با عملکرد تحصیلی ضعیف‌تر نسبت به آزمون‌های بعدازظهر همراه بودند، اما نمرات با مدت خواب شب پیش از آزمون تعدیل می‌شد.

One essential aspect of mindfulness practice is to help people focus on the present moment. Although this present-focused attention has been linked to several positive outcomes, it also raises the possibility that mindfulness could increase present bias, with potentially negative consequences for decision-making. Across three laboratory studies and one longitudinal field study, we examined whether mindfulness meditation affects intertemporal choice. In the laboratory studies, participants completed brief guided mindfulness exercises before making economic decisions involving trade-offs between smaller immediate rewards and larger delayed rewards. In our field study, participants completed an eight-week mindfulness course offered by an established mindfulness institute, and they made intertemporal choices before and after their training. Across all four studies, mindfulness did not increase present bias or meaningfully alter intertemporal decisions.

یکی از جنبه‌های اساسی تمرین ذهن‌آگاهی، کمک به افراد برای تمرکز بر لحظه حال است. اگرچه این توجه متمرکز بر حال با پیامدهای مثبت متعددی مرتبط دانسته شده است، اما این امکان را نیز مطرح می‌کند که ذهن‌آگاهی می‌تواند سوگیری حال‌گرایانه را افزایش دهد و پیامدهای منفی بالقوه‌ای برای تصمیم‌گیری به همراه داشته باشد. در سه مطالعه آزمایشگاهی و یک مطالعه میدانی طولی، بررسی کردیم که آیا مدیتیشن ذهن‌آگاهی بر انتخاب‌های بین‌زمانی تأثیر می‌گذارد یا خیر. در مطالعات آزمایشگاهی، شرکت‌کنندگان پیش از اتخاذ تصمیمات اقتصادی شامل ترجیح بین پاداش‌های کوچک‌تر فوری و پاداش‌های بزرگ‌تر با تأخیر، تمرینات هدایت‌شده کوتاه ذهن‌آگاهی را انجام دادند. در مطالعه میدانی ما، شرکت‌کنندگان یک دوره هشت‌هفته‌ای ذهن‌آگاهی را که توسط یک مؤسسه معتبر ذهن‌آگاهی ارائه می‌شد، گذراندند و پیش و پس از آموزش خود انتخاب‌های بین‌زمانی انجام دادند. در هر چهار مطالعه، ذهن‌آگاهی موجب افزایش سوگیری حال‌گرایانه یا تغییر معنادار در تصمیمات بین‌زمانی نشد.

This study aims to examine and compare the curriculum structures and content across four types of educational institutions: Public Elementary Schools (SD), Integrated Islamic Elementary Schools (SDIT), Islamic Elementary Schools (MI), and Islamic Junior High Schools (MTs). The study is motivated by the distinct educational objectives, subject matter, instructional time allocations, and unique characteristics associated with each institution. A literature review method was employed, gathering information from relevant books, scholarly journal articles, and official government documents. Data were analyzed using a descriptive-comparative technique to elucidate curriculum similarities and differences regarding subject structures, content, time allocation, and institutional characteristics. The findings indicate that SDs emphasize the development of foundational skills and general knowledge; SDITs integrate the national curriculum with a strong emphasis on Islamic values; and MIs combine general subjects with specialized Islamic religious instruction. Meanwhile, MTs provide lower secondary education featuring a blend of general and religious subjects tailored to the developmental stage of the students. These curricular variations are shaped by educational goals, government policies, institutional identities, and student needs. This study is expected to enhance understanding of the curriculum characteristics across various educational institutions in Indonesia.

هدف این مطالعه بررسی و مقایسه ساختار و محتوای برنامه‌های درسی در چهار نوع نهاد آموزشی شامل دبستان‌های دولتی (SD)، دبستان‌های اسلامی تلفیقی (SDIT)، مدارس ابتدایی اسلامی (MI) و مدارس راهنمایی اسلامی (MTs) است. انگیزه این پژوهش ناشی از اهداف آموزشی متفاوت، موضوعات درسی، تخصیص زمان آموزشی و ویژگی‌های منحصربه‌فرد هر یک از این نهادها است. روش مطالعه مروری به‌کار گرفته شد و اطلاعات از کتاب‌های مرتبط، مقالات علمی و اسناد رسمی دولتی گردآوری گردید. داده‌ها با استفاده از تکنیک توصیفی-مقایسه‌ای تحلیل شدند تا شباهت‌ها و تفاوت‌های برنامه‌های درسی از نظر ساختار دروس، محتوا، تخصیص زمان و ویژگی‌های نهادی تبیین شود. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که دبستان‌های دولتی بر توسعه مهارت‌های پایه و دانش عمومی تأکید دارند؛ دبستان‌های اسلامی تلفیقی برنامه درسی ملی را با تأکید قوی بر ارزش‌های اسلامی ادغام می‌کنند؛ و مدارس ابتدایی اسلامی ترکیبی از دروس عمومی و آموزش تخصصی دینی اسلامی ارائه می‌دهند. در عین حال، مدارس راهنمایی اسلامی آموزش متوسطه اول را با ترکیبی از دروس عمومی و دینی متناسب با مرحله رشدی دانش‌آموزان فراهم می‌کنند. این تفاوت‌های برنامه درسی تحت تأثیر اهداف آموزشی، سیاست‌های دولتی، هویت‌های نهادی و نیازهای دانش‌آموزان شکل می‌گیرد. انتظار می‌رود این مطالعه به درک بهتر ویژگی‌های برنامه درسی در نهادهای مختلف آموزشی در اندونزی کمک کند.

Time poverty plagues schools worldwide. Current research has focussed on the quantitative analysis of accumulated tasks and duties that serve as the symptoms of a phenomenon known as time poverty. Every school is home to a similar yet unique set of complex, hidden temporal patterns created by different and often conflicting social calendars that combine to influence the rhythm of school life for teachers and students alike. The need for these social calendars to structure school time-and-place arrangements inevitably leads to the formation of the temporal paradox of schools: that to function effectively, time must be fixed; yet to succeed, time needs to be fluid. Rhythm analysis and a taxonomy for understanding the subjective experience of time provide novel lenses through which to reconceive time poverty in schools not solely as a quantitative problem, but instead as contextually specific temporal arrythmia. Activity theory provides an analytical framework to be paired with a new taxonomy of temporal experience to create a novel analytical tool to reframe time poverty in the context of teacher workload and develop a temporal empathy for the purposes of meaningful – school-based – intervention.

فقر زمانی مدارس سراسر جهان را درگیر کرده است. پژوهش‌های کنونی عمدتاً بر تحلیل کمی وظایف و مسئولیت‌های انباشته‌شده تمرکز داشته‌اند که به‌عنوان نشانه‌های پدیده‌ای به نام فقر زمانی شناخته می‌شوند. هر مدرسه میزبان مجموعه‌ای مشابه اما منحصربه‌فرد از الگوهای زمانی پیچیده و پنهان است که توسط تقویم‌های اجتماعی مختلف و اغلب متعارض ایجاد می‌شوند و با هم ریتم زندگی مدرسه‌ای معلمان و دانش‌آموزان را تحت تأثیر قرار می‌دهند. نیاز به این تقویم‌های اجتماعی برای ساختاربندی زمان و مکان مدرسه، به‌طور اجتناب‌ناپذیری به شکل‌گیری پارادوکس زمانی مدارس منجر می‌شود: برای عملکرد مؤثر، زمان باید ثابت باشد؛ اما برای موفقیت، زمان باید سیال باشد. تحلیل ریتم و یک طبقه‌بندی برای فهم تجربه‌ی ذهنی زمان، دیدگاه‌های نوینی فراهم می‌کنند تا فقر زمانی در مدارس نه صرفاً به‌عنوان یک مسئله‌ی کمی، بلکه به‌عنوان آریتمی زمانی خاص بافت بازاندیشی شود. نظریه فعالیت چارچوب تحلیلی‌ای فراهم می‌کند که می‌توان آن را با طبقه‌بندی جدید تجربه زمانی ترکیب کرد تا ابزار تحلیلی نوینی برای بازتعریف فقر زمانی در زمینه‌ی بارکاری معلمان و توسعه‌ی همدلی زمانی به‌منظور مداخلات معنادار مبتنی بر مدرسه ایجاد شود.

The 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes caused widespread devastation across 11 provinces in southeastern Türkiye, resulting in profound psychosocial consequences for children, including increased emotional avoidance and difficulties in self-expression. This study aimed to examine changes in psychological flexibility and language-related outcomes (listening, speaking, reading comprehension, and writing) associated with participation in a bibliotherapy-based intervention among children affected by the earthquakes. The study employed a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design. Participants were middle school students residing in the earthquake-affected region. The experimental group participated in a 12-week multicomponent ACT-based bibliotherapy program, whereas the control group continued with the regular educational curriculum. The intervention was structured around Russ Harris’s The Reality Slap and incorporated guided reading, metaphor-based activities, mindfulness practices, reflective writing, and group discussions. Each session involved structured reading of designated chapters and page ranges aligned with the thematic focus and targeted ACT processes. Psychological flexibility and four language-related outcomes-listening, speaking, reading comprehension, and writing-were assessed at pretest and posttest. Significant differential changes were observed for psychological flexibility and reading comprehension. For listening, the primary Time × Group interaction reached the conventional 0.05 significance level but did not remain statistically significant after Bonferroni correction, whereas the baseline-adjusted ANCOVA showed a statistically significant between-group difference ( p = 0.008). Thus, the findings for listening were not consistent across analytical approaches and were interpreted cautiously. The Time × Group interactions for speaking and writing were not statistically significant. The findings suggest that participation in the multicomponent ACT-based bibliotherapy program was associated with improvements in psychological flexibility and reading comprehension among earthquake-affected adolescents. Evidence for listening skills was less consistent across analytical approaches and should therefore be interpreted cautiously. Given the quasi-experimental design, nonrandom allocation, and absence of an attention-matched active control condition, these findings should not be interpreted as definitive causal effects attributable exclusively to bibliotherapy.

زلزله‌های ۶ فوریه ۲۰۲۳ قهرمان‌مرعش موجب ویرانی گسترده در ۱۱ استان جنوب‌شرقی ترکیه شد و پیامدهای روانی-اجتماعی عمیقی برای کودکان به همراه داشت، از جمله افزایش اجتناب هیجانی و دشواری در ابراز خود. هدف این پژوهش بررسی تغییرات در انعطاف‌پذیری روان‌شناختی و پیامدهای مرتبط با زبان (شنیدن، صحبت کردن، درک مطلب و نوشتن) در پی شرکت در یک مداخله مبتنی بر کتاب‌درمانی در میان کودکان آسیب‌دیده از زلزله بود. این مطالعه با طرح شبه‌آزمایشی پیش‌آزمون–پس‌آزمون با گروه کنترل انجام شد. شرکت‌کنندگان دانش‌آموزان مقطع متوسطه ساکن منطقه آسیب‌دیده از زلزله بودند. گروه آزمایش در یک برنامه کتاب‌درمانی چندمولفه‌ای مبتنی بر ACT به مدت ۱۲ هفته شرکت کردند، در حالی که گروه کنترل به برنامه آموزشی عادی خود ادامه دادند. مداخله بر اساس کتاب The Reality Slap اثر Russ Harris ساختاربندی شد و شامل مطالعه هدایت‌شده، فعالیت‌های مبتنی بر استعاره، تمرین‌های ذهن‌آگاهی، نوشتن تأملی و بحث‌های گروهی بود. هر جلسه شامل مطالعه ساختاریافته فصل‌ها و صفحات تعیین‌شده متناسب با محور موضوعی و فرایندهای هدف ACT بود. انعطاف‌پذیری روان‌شناختی و چهار پیامد مرتبط با زبان—شنیدن، صحبت کردن، درک مطلب و نوشتن—در پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون ارزیابی شدند. تغییرات افتراقی معناداری برای انعطاف‌پذیری روان‌شناختی و درک مطلب مشاهده شد. برای شنیدن، تعامل اصلی زمان × گروه به سطح معناداری متعارف ۰٫۰۵ رسید اما پس از اصلاح بونفرونی از نظر آماری معنادار باقی نماند، در حالی که ANCOVA با تعدیل خط پایه تفاوت معنادار بین‌گروهی را نشان داد (p = 0.008). بنابراین، یافته‌های مربوط به شنیدن در رویکردهای تحلیلی مختلف یکسان نبود و با احتیاط تفسیر شد. تعاملات زمان × گروه برای صحبت کردن و نوشتن از نظر آماری معنادار نبودند. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که شرکت در برنامه کتاب‌درمانی چندمولفه‌ای مبتنی بر ACT با بهبود انعطاف‌پذیری روان‌شناختی و درک مطلب در نوجوانان آسیب‌دیده از زلزله همراه بود. شواهد مربوط به مهارت شنیدن در رویکردهای تحلیلی مختلف کمتر سازگار بود و بنابراین باید با احتیاط تفسیر شود. با توجه به طرح شبه‌آزمایشی، تخصیص غیرتصادفی و فقدان گروه کنترل فعال همسان از نظر توجه، این یافته‌ها نباید به عنوان اثرات علّی قطعی منحصراً منتسب به کتاب‌درمانی تفسیر شوند.

Purpose We compared objective measures of cardiometabolic health (CMH) between women who identify as lesbian/gay or bisexual (LGB) and women who identify as heterosexual. In addition, we aimed to test whether group differences in stress reactivity partially explained disparities in CMH health. Methods Participants from a longitudinal study were identified for enrollment in 2017. The LGB group self-identified as LGB in 2017 (n = 239), and the heterosexual group identified as straight or heterosexual in each year that sexual identity was asked (study years 2010–2017) (n = 160). CMH was assessed via measurements and biomarkers, and stress reactivity via heart rate variability and cortisol levels during a social stress test. Participants also provided self-reports of stress and health. We tested group differences using sexual identity at Study Year 17, at the time of the visit, and as a proportion of years identifying as LGB. Results Group differences were tested using t-tests for continuous measures, logistic regression for dichotomous measures, and repeated-measures ANOVA for change over time. There were no significant differences in measures of CMH or stress reactivity by sexual identity group. LGB participants had worse self-reported health and higher levels of stress compared to heterosexual participants. Conclusion We discuss several frameworks for interpreting the present results of no differences in objective markers of health in the context of the existing literature, including developmental, socio-political, and methodological frameworks, and suggest directions for research to link the previous research with the results of the current study.

هدف: ما شاخص‌های عینی سلامت قلبی‌متابولیک (CMH) را میان زنانی که خود را به عنوان لGB (همجنس‌گرا/دوجنس‌گرا) و زنانی که خود را به عنوان دگرجنس‌گرا معرفی می‌کنند، مقایسه کردیم. علاوه بر این، هدف ما آزمون این بود که آیا تفاوت‌های گروهی در واکنش‌پذیری به استرس تا حدی می‌تواند نابرابری‌های سلامت CMH را توضیح دهد یا خیر. روش‌ها: شرکت‌کنندگان از یک مطالعه طولی برای ثبت‌نام در سال ۲۰۱۷ شناسایی شدند. گروه LGB در سال ۲۰۱۷ خود را به عنوان LGB معرفی کردند (n = 239) و گروه دگرجنس‌گرا در هر سالی که هویت جنسی پرسیده شد (سال‌های مطالعه ۲۰۱۰ تا ۲۰۱۷) خود را به عنوان دگرجنس‌گرا معرفی کردند (n = 160). سلامت CMH از طریق اندازه‌گیری‌ها و نشانگرهای زیستی ارزیابی شد و واکنش‌پذیری به استرس از طریق تغییرپذیری ضربان قلب و سطوح کورتیزول در طول آزمون استرس اجتماعی سنجیده شد. شرکت‌کنندگان همچنین گزارش‌های خوداظهاری از استرس و سلامت ارائه دادند. تفاوت‌های گروهی با استفاده از هویت جنسی در سال هفدهم مطالعه، در زمان مراجعه و به عنوان نسبت سال‌هایی که به عنوان LGB معرفی شده‌اند، آزمون شد. نتایج: تفاوت‌های گروهی با استفاده از آزمون t برای شاخص‌های پیوسته، رگرسیون لجستیک برای شاخص‌های دووجهی و ANOVA با اندازه‌گیری‌های مکرر برای تغییرات در طول زمان آزمون شد. تفاوت معناداری در شاخص‌های سلامت CMH یا واکنش‌پذیری به استرس بر اساس گروه هویت جنسی مشاهده نشد. شرکت‌کنندگان LGB سلامت خوداظهاری ضعیف‌تر و سطوح استرس بالاتری نسبت به شرکت‌کنندگان دگرجنس‌گرا داشتند. نتیجه‌گیری: ما چندین چارچوب برای تفسیر نتایج حاضر مبنی بر عدم تفاوت در شاخص‌های عینی سلامت در زمینه ادبیات موجود، از جمله چارچوب‌های رشدی، اجتماعی-سیاسی و روش‌شناختی را مورد بحث قرار می‌دهیم و جهت‌گیری‌هایی برای پژوهش به منظور پیوند پژوهش‌های پیشین با نتایج مطالعه حاضر پیشنهاد می‌کنیم.

Digital screens have become part of everyday life, supporting education, communication, entertainment and access to health information. At the same time, prolonged or poorly timed screen exposure may displace sleep, physical activity, faceto-face interaction and other behaviours that protect health. This narrative review discusses screen exposure as a potentially modifiable risk factor, with particular attention to children and adolescents. Evidence is considered across sleep, physical activity and weight-related outcomes, vision and posture, and psychosocial well-being.

صفحه‌های دیجیتال به بخشی از زندگی روزمره تبدیل شده‌اند و از آموزش، ارتباطات، سرگرمی و دسترسی به اطلاعات سلامت حمایت می‌کنند. در عین حال، قرارگیری طولانی‌مدت یا نامناسب در معرض صفحه‌های نمایش ممکن است خواب، فعالیت بدنی، تعامل رو‌در‌رو و سایر رفتارهایی را که از سلامت محافظت می‌کنند، جایگزین کند. این مرور روایتی، قرارگیری در معرض صفحه‌های نمایش را به عنوان یک عامل خطر قابل تعدیل مورد بحث قرار می‌دهد و توجه ویژه‌ای به کودکان و نوجوانان دارد. شواهد در حوزه‌های خواب، فعالیت بدنی و پیامدهای مرتبط با وزن، بینایی و وضعیت بدنی، و بهزیستی روانی‌اجتماعی بررسی می‌شود.

This study examined the impact of work-life balance on teacher performance and student outcomes among private school teachers in Surat City. The main aim was to understand how teachers manage their professional and personal life and how this balance affects their teaching effectiveness. A descriptive research design was used and primary data was collected from 300 teachers through a structured questionnaire. The study included demographic analysis, multiple choice questions and Likert scale statements. The findings showed that most teachers experienced moderate levels of work-life balance due to workload and time pressure. Many teachers reported taking work home, which affected their personal life. Statistical analysis revealed that work-life balance had a strong positive relationship with teacher performance (r = 0.62) and student outcomes (r = 0.58). The regression results further confirmed that better balance improved teaching effectiveness. Normality and reliability tests confirmed that the data was suitable and consistent for analysis. The study concluded that work-life balance plays an important role in improving teacher productivity and student learning. Teachers who maintained a healthy balance were more focused, motivated and effective in the classroom. The study also highlighted the need for supportive school policies and stress management practices. Overall, improving work-life balance can lead to better educational outcomes and a more positive teaching environment.

این پژوهش به بررسی تأثیر تعادل کار و زندگی بر عملکرد معلمان و نتایج دانش‌آموزان در میان معلمان مدارس غیرانتفاعی شهر سورت پرداخته است. هدف اصلی، درک نحوه مدیریت زندگی حرفه‌ای و شخصی توسط معلمان و تأثیر این تعادل بر اثربخشی تدریس آن‌ها بود. طرح پژوهش توصیفی به کار گرفته شد و داده‌های اولیه از ۳۰۰ معلم از طریق پرسشنامه ساختاریافته جمع‌آوری گردید. پژوهش شامل تحلیل‌های جمعیت‌شناختی، سؤالات چندگزینه‌ای و عبارات مقیاس لیکرت بود. یافته‌ها نشان داد که اکثر معلمان به دلیل حجم کار و فشار زمانی، سطوح متوسطی از تعادل کار و زندگی را تجربه می‌کنند. بسیاری از معلمان گزارش کردند که کار را به خانه می‌برند که این امر بر زندگی شخصی آن‌ها تأثیر گذاشته است. تحلیل آماری نشان داد که تعادل کار و زندگی با عملکرد معلمان (r = 0.62) و نتایج دانش‌آموزان (r = 0.58) رابطه مثبت قوی دارد. نتایج رگرسیون نیز تأیید کرد که تعادل بهتر، اثربخشی تدریس را افزایش می‌دهد. آزمون‌های نرمالیتی و پایایی نشان داد که داده‌ها برای تحلیل مناسب و سازگار هستند. پژوهش نتیجه‌گیری کرد که تعادل کار و زندگی نقش مهمی در بهبود بهره‌وری معلمان و یادگیری دانش‌آموزان ایفا می‌کند. معلمانی که تعادل سالمی را حفظ می‌کنند، در کلاس درس متمرکزتر، باانگیزه‌تر و اثربخش‌تر هستند. این پژوهش همچنین بر ضرورت سیاست‌های حمایتی مدرسه و شیوه‌های مدیریت استرس تأکید کرد. به طور کلی، بهبود تعادل کار و زندگی می‌تواند به نتایج آموزشی بهتر و محیط تدریس مثبت‌تر منجر شود.

Abstract While socioeconomic status (SES), time in preschool (TiP) and their interaction are related to reading ability, the results have been mixed. This study assessed whether the shared environment mediated these associations using a longitudinal behavior genetic design. Further, this study contrasted the source of variance in reading accounted for by (a) SES and TiP, against that of (b) genes, the shared environment, and the unique environment. Participants were 511 monozygotic twin pairs, and 515 dizygotic same-sex twin pairs from Australia, the United States and Scandinavia. They were assessed at preschool, kindergarten, grade 1, and grade 2. The interaction between TiP and SES did not explain variance in reading at any stage. At preschool, SES and TiP combined accounted for 9% of the total variance in reading, or 17.6% of the shared environment variance. Of that 9%, SES explained 8.1% independent of TiP. By Grade 2, SES and TiP explained 4% of the total variance, or 57% of the shared environment variance. Of that 4%, SES accounted for 3% with TiP accounting for just 1%. It was found that SES, but not TiP, had a small but significant influence on reading over time, and is a substantial mediator of the shared environment influence of reading by Grade 2.

چکیده: اگرچه وضعیت اجتماعی‌اقتصادی (SES)، مدت زمان حضور در پیش‌دبستانی (TiP) و تعامل آن‌ها با توانایی خواندن مرتبط هستند، نتایج پژوهش‌ها متفاوت بوده است. این مطالعه بررسی کرد که آیا محیط مشترک این ارتباطات را با استفاده از یک طرح ژنتیک رفتاری طولی میانجی‌گری می‌کند یا خیر. همچنین، این پژوهش منبع واریانس در خواندن را که توسط (الف) SES و TiP و (ب) ژن‌ها، محیط مشترک و محیط منحصر به فرد تبیین می‌شود، مقایسه کرد. شرکت‌کنندگان شامل ۵۱۱ جفت دوقلوی همسان و ۵۱۵ جفت دوقلوی غیرهمسان هم‌جنس از استرالیا، ایالات متحده و اسکاندیناوی بودند. آن‌ها در مقاطع پیش‌دبستانی، مهدکودک، پایه اول و پایه دوم ارزیابی شدند. تعامل بین TiP و SES در هیچ یک از مراحل، واریانس توانایی خواندن را تبیین نکرد. در پیش‌دبستانی، SES و TiP در مجموع ۹٪ از کل واریانس خواندن یا ۱۷٫۶٪ از واریانس محیط مشترک را تبیین کردند. از این ۹٪، SES به طور مستقل از TiP، ۸٫۱٪ را تبیین کرد. تا پایه دوم، SES و TiP مجموعاً ۴٪ از کل واریانس یا ۵۷٪ از واریانس محیط مشترک را تبیین کردند. از این ۴٪، SES معادل ۳٪ و TiP تنها ۱٪ را تبیین کرد. نتایج نشان داد که SES، اما نه TiP، تأثیر اندک اما معناداری بر خواندن در طول زمان دارد و تا پایه دوم، میانجی قابل توجهی برای تأثیر محیط مشترک بر خواندن است.

Learning of Pancasila Education in Grade XI Banking Services (LPB) at SMK Negeri 3 Palembang faced limited effective learning time, only about 1 hour 25 minutes per session, due to an ongoing building renovation and a two-shift schedule, which contributed to low student learning outcomes. This classroom action research aimed to improve the learning outcomes of Grade XI LPB students in Pancasila Education through the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by the Zeep Quiz application. Referring to the Kemmis and Mc Taggart design, the study was conducted in three stages involving 36 students: Pre-Cycle (29 July 2026), Cycle 1 (19 August 2026), and Cycle 2 (26 August 2026), with data collected through pretest-posttest scores and analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. The average posttest score rose steadily from 63.69 in the Pre-Cycle to 72.06 in Cycle 1 and 88.86 in Cycle 2, while classical mastery increased from 5.56% to 36.11% and finally reached 100% in Cycle 2, surpassing the 75% success indicator. These findings indicate that the PBL model assisted by Zeep Quiz effectively improved the learning outcomes of Grade XI LPB students despite the limited instructional time available.

یادگیری درس آموزش پاندچسیلا در پایه یازدهم رشته خدمات بانکی (LPB) در هنرستان دولتی شماره ۳ پالمبانگ با محدودیت زمان مؤثر آموزشی مواجه بود؛ به‌طوری‌که هر جلسه تنها حدود ۱ ساعت و ۲۵ دقیقه به دلیل بازسازی ساختمان و برنامه دو شیفته به طول می‌انجامید که این امر به نتایج ضعیف یادگیری دانش‌آموزان منجر شد. این پژوهش اقدام‌پژوهی کلاسی با هدف ارتقای نتایج یادگیری دانش‌آموزان پایه یازدهم LPB در درس آموزش پاندچسیلا از طریق اجرای مدل یادگیری مبتنی بر مسئله (PBL) با کمک نرم‌افزار Zeep Quiz انجام شد. با استناد به الگوی Kemmis و Mc Taggart، مطالعه در سه مرحله با مشارکت ۳۶ دانش‌آموز انجام گرفت: پیش‌چرخه (۲۹ ژوئیه ۲۰۲۶)، چرخه اول (۱۹ اوت ۲۰۲۶) و چرخه دوم (۲۶ اوت ۲۰۲۶) و داده‌ها از طریق نمرات پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون گردآوری و به‌صورت توصیفی و کمی تحلیل شد. میانگین نمره پس‌آزمون به‌ترتیب از ۶۳٫۶۹ در پیش‌چرخه به ۷۲٫۰۶ در چرخه اول و ۸۸٫۸۶ در چرخه دوم افزایش یافت و تسلط کلاسیک از ۵٫۵۶٪ به ۳۶٫۱۱٪ و در نهایت به ۱۰۰٪ در چرخه دوم رسید که از شاخص موفقیت ۷۵٪ فراتر رفت. این یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد مدل PBL با کمک نرم‌افزار Zeep Quiz به‌طور مؤثری نتایج یادگیری دانش‌آموزان پایه یازدهم LPB را علی‌رغم محدودیت زمان آموزشی بهبود بخشیده است.

Background: Balancing employment and academic responsibilities has become a growing challenge for university students in Cambodia, yet empirical evidence on the determinants of work–study balance remains limited. Objective: This study develops an integrated model unifying time management, self-regulation, goal orientation, and peer support to examine their effects on work–study balance and its influence on academic performance. Method: A quantitative correlational design was employed with 300 working university students from BELTEI International University. Data were analyzed using SPSS and SmartPLS. Results: The structural model demonstrated moderate explanatory power, explaining 49.0% of the variance in work–study balance and 61.5% of the variance in academic performance. Goal orientation was the strongest predictor of work–study balance, followed by time management and peer support, while self-regulation showed no significant effect. Academic performance was significantly predicted by self-regulation, goal orientation, peer support, and work–study balance, whereas time management did not show a significant effect. Conclusion: These findings emphasize the importance of personal and social factors in promoting students' academic success and provide practical implications for policymakers and universities, while future research should validate the proposed model across diverse educational and cultural contexts. Contribution: These findings contribute empirical evidence from the Cambodian higher education context by addressing the determinants of work–study balance and academic performance within an integrated framework.

This qualitative study employed Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as its research design and centered on eight mathematics educators from the Negros Island Region in the Philippines. These educators were officially enrolled in master's or doctoral programs at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) during the academic year 2024-2025. The researcher employed purposive-convenience sampling, selecting readily accessible mathematics educators who also met specific criteria: they had conducted at least one research study, had presented a study, and had taught in a public high school for at least two years. The study sought to understand their lived experiences related to research engagement, using in-depth interviews to capture their motivations, challenges, coping mechanisms, perceived benefits, and insights. The mathematics educators' primary motivator stemmed from a genuine desire to improve their learners' lives, focusing on strategies to enhance comprehension, reduce anxiety, and promote equity. However, these educators faced considerable challenges, including time constraints due to heavy workloads and limited resources, particularly in public schools and part-time positions. To overcome these obstacles, they demonstrated resourcefulness and relied on collaboration, sharing ideas and leveraging networks for support. Despite the hardships, research engagement brought significant rewards, most notably witnessing learners' "lightbulb moments" and experiencing professional growth. Ultimately, the study highlighted the dedication and resilience of these educators, emphasizing the urgent need for institutional support to foster a research culture that empowers them to advance mathematics education in the Philippines.

این مطالعه کیفی با به‌کارگیری طرح پژوهشی تحلیل پدیدارشناختی تفسیری (IPA) انجام شده و بر هشت آموزگار ریاضی از منطقه جزیره نِگروس در فیلیپین متمرکز است. این آموزگاران به طور رسمی در برنامه‌های کارشناسی ارشد یا دکتری در مؤسسات آموزش عالی (HEIs) در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۴-۲۰۲۵ ثبت‌نام کرده بودند. پژوهشگر از نمونه‌گیری هدفمند-سهولت‌محور استفاده کرد و آموزگاران ریاضی را که به آسانی در دسترس بودند و همچنین معیارهای خاصی را دارا بودند انتخاب نمود: انجام حداقل یک مطالعه پژوهشی، ارائه یک پژوهش و داشتن سابقه تدریس در دبیرستان دولتی به مدت حداقل دو سال. هدف این مطالعه، فهم تجارب زیسته آنان در ارتباط با مشارکت پژوهشی بود و برای ثبت انگیزه‌ها، چالش‌ها، سازوکارهای مقابله‌ای، فواید ادراک‌شده و بینش‌های آنان از مصاحبه‌های عمیق بهره گرفته شد. انگیزه اصلی آموزگاران ریاضی، تمایل واقعی برای بهبود زندگی یادگیرندگان‌شان بود که بر راهبردهایی برای ارتقای درک، کاهش اضطراب و ترویج عدالت تمرکز داشت. با این حال، این آموزگاران با چالش‌های قابل توجهی از جمله محدودیت زمانی ناشی از حجم بالای کار و کمبود منابع، به ویژه در مدارس دولتی و موقعیت‌های پاره‌وقت، مواجه بودند. برای غلبه بر این موانع، آنان با ابتکار عمل و تکیه بر همکاری، به اشتراک‌گذاری ایده‌ها و بهره‌گیری از شبکه‌های حمایتی پرداختند. علی‌رغم دشواری‌ها، مشارکت پژوهشی پاداش‌های قابل توجهی به همراه داشت که مهم‌ترین آن مشاهده «لحظات روشن‌شدن ذهن» یادگیرندگان و تجربه رشد حرفه‌ای بود. در نهایت، این مطالعه بر تعهد و تاب‌آوری این آموزگاران تأکید کرده و نیاز فوری به حمایت نهادی برای تقویت فرهنگ پژوهش به منظور توانمندسازی آنان در پیشبرد آموزش ریاضی در فیلیپین را برجسته می‌کند.

Purpose To evaluate trends in psychotropic prescription rates (PRs) in a Peruvian general hospital during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods We conducted an interrupted time-series (ITS) study using routinely collected clinical data from hospitalized patients with psychiatric diagnoses between September 2020 and December 2024. Psychotropic PRs, defined as the number of weekly psychotropic prescriptions per 1,000 psychiatric consultations, were calculated overall and by subclass: antidepressants (N06A), antipsychotics (N05A), anxiolytics (N05B), and mood stabilizers (N05AN01/N03A). For ITS analysis, the study period was divided into six predefined phases (two waves, three relaxation phases, and one post-pandemic phase) based on COVID-19 mortality and transmission trends in Peru. Segmented regression models were applied to estimate phase-specific level and slope changes. Results A total of 6,151 patients were included. The overall psychotropic PR was higher during the post-pandemic period compared with the pandemic period (1,308 vs. 1,254; p = 0.023). ITS analyses showed a significant downward trend in overall psychotropic prescribing during phase 1 (post-first wave stabilization, β = −25.53; 95% CI = −43.82 to −7.01; p = 0.007), followed by a structural break in phase 2 (second pandemic wave) with an abrupt level increase (β = 295.53; 95% CI = 60.48 to 530.57; p = 0.014) and slope reversal (β = 23.79; 95% CI = 3.33 to 44.26; p = 0.016), after which prescribing stabilized. A similar temporal pattern was observed for antidepressant PR. Anxiolytic PR displayed a transient upward slope change in phase 2 (β = 14.15; 95% CI = 1.80 to 26.50; p = 0.01), whereas antipsychotic and mood stabilizer prescribing remained stable across phases. Conclusions Overall psychotropic prescribing showed phase-specific disruption followed by structural rebound and subsequent stabilization across the COVID-19 and post-pandemic periods. These findings provide real-world evidence and underscore the need to monitor psychiatric prescribing and mental health service adaptation in middle-income settings.

هدف: ارزیابی روندهای نرخ تجویز داروهای روان‌گردان (PRs) در یک بیمارستان عمومی پرویی در دوران و پس از همه‌گیری COVID-19. مواد و روش‌ها: یک مطالعه سری زمانی منقطع (ITS) با استفاده از داده‌های بالینی جمع‌آوری‌شده به طور روتین از بیماران بستری با تشخیص روان‌پزشکی بین سپتامبر 2020 تا دسامبر 2024 انجام شد. نرخ‌های تجویز داروهای روان‌گردان، که به عنوان تعداد تجویزهای هفتگی داروهای روان‌گردان به ازای هر ۱٬۰۰۰ مشاوره روان‌پزشکی تعریف شد، به طور کلی و بر اساس زیرگروه‌ها محاسبه گردید: داروهای ضدافسردگی (N06A)، داروهای ضدروان‌پریشی (N05A)، داروهای ضداضطراب (N05B) و تثبیت‌کننده‌های خلق (N05AN01/N03A). برای تحلیل ITS، دوره مطالعه به شش فاز از پیش تعیین‌شده (دو موج، سه فاز کاهش محدودیت و یک فاز پس از همه‌گیری) بر اساس روندهای مرگ‌ومیر و انتقال COVID-19 در پرو تقسیم شد. مدل‌های رگرسیون قطعه‌ای برای برآورد تغییرات سطح و شیب مختص هر فاز به کار رفت. نتایج: در مجموع ۶٬۱۵۱ بیمار وارد مطالعه شدند. نرخ کلی تجویز داروهای روان‌گردان در دوره پس از همه‌گیری نسبت به دوره همه‌گیری بالاتر بود (۱٬۳۰۸ در مقابل ۱٬۲۵۴؛ ۰٫۰۲۳ = p). تحلیل‌های ITS کاهش معنادار روند تجویز کلی داروهای روان‌گردان را در فاز ۱ (تثبیت پس از موج اول، β = ‎−۲۵٫۵۳؛ ۹۵٪ CI = ‎−۴۳٫۸۲ تا ‎−۷٫۰۱؛ ۰٫۰۰۷ = p) نشان داد، که به دنبال آن در فاز ۲ (موج دوم همه‌گیری) یک شکست ساختاری با افزایش ناگهانی سطح (β = ۲۹۵٫۵۳؛ ۹۵٪ CI = ۶۰٫۴۸ تا ۵۳۰٫۵۷؛ ۰٫۰۱۴ = p) و معکوس شدن شیب (β = ۲۳٫۷۹؛ ۹۵٪ CI = ۳٫۳۳ تا ۴۴٫۲۶؛ ۰٫۰۱۶ = p) رخ داد و پس از آن تجویز تثبیت شد. الگوی زمانی مشابهی برای نرخ تجویز داروهای ضدافسردگی مشاهده شد. نرخ تجویز داروهای ضداضطراب در فاز ۲ تغییر شیب افزایشی موقتی نشان داد (β = ۱۴٫۱۵؛ ۹۵٪ CI = ۱٫۸۰ تا ۲۶٫۵۰؛ ۰٫۰۱ = p)، در حالی که تجویز داروهای ضدروان‌پریشی و تثبیت‌کننده‌های خلق در طول فازها پایدار باقی ماند. نتیجه‌گیری: تجویز کلی داروهای روان‌گردان دچار اختلال فازمحور شد و پس از آن بازگشت ساختاری و در نهایت تثبیت در طول دوره‌های همه‌گیری و پس از همه‌گیری مشاهده گردید. این یافته‌ها شواهد دنیای واقعی ارائه می‌دهد و بر ضرورت پایش تجویز روان‌پزشکی و سازگاری خدمات سلامت روان در محیط‌های با درآمد متوسط تأکید می‌کند.

Metaphors are a distinctive feature of literary language, yet they remain less studied experimentally than everyday metaphors. Moreover, previous psycholinguistic and computational approaches overlooked the temporal dimension, although many literary metaphors were coined centuries apart from contemporary readers. This study innovatively applies tools from diachronic distributional semantics to assess whether the processing costs of literary metaphors varied over time and genre. Specifically, we used the Word2Vec algorithm and period-specific literary and nonliterary corpora, for a total of 124 million tokens, to generate word embeddings. Using these embeddings, we modeled changes in the semantic similarity between topics and vehicles of 515 19th-century literary metaphors, taking this measure as a proxy for metaphor processing demands. Overall, semantic similarity, and hence metaphor processing demands, remained stable over time. However, genre played a key role: metaphors appeared more difficult (i.e., lower topic-vehicle similarity) in modern literary contexts than in 19th-century literature, but easier (i.e., higher topic-vehicle similarity) in today's nonliterary language (e.g., the web) than in 19th-century nonliterary texts. This pattern was further shaped by semantic features of metaphors' individual terms, such as vector coherence and semantic neighborhood density. Collectively, these findings align with broader linguistic changes in Italian, such as the stylistic simplification of modern literature, which may have increased metaphor processing demands, and the high creativity of the web's language, which seems to render metaphor more accessible.

استعاره‌ها ویژگی متمایز زبان ادبی هستند، اما به‌صورت تجربی کمتر از استعاره‌های روزمره مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته‌اند. افزون بر این، رویکردهای پیشین روان‌زبان‌شناسی و محاسباتی، بُعد زمانی را نادیده گرفته‌اند، در حالی که بسیاری از استعاره‌های ادبی قرن‌ها پیش از خوانندگان معاصر ابداع شده‌اند. این مطالعه به‌طور نوآورانه از ابزارهای معناشناسی توزیعی تاریخی برای ارزیابی این‌که آیا هزینه‌های پردازش استعاره‌های ادبی در طول زمان و ژانر متفاوت بوده است یا خیر، بهره می‌گیرد. به‌طور مشخص، الگوریتم Word2Vec و پیکره‌های ادبی و غیرادبی مختص دوره‌های زمانی مختلف، با مجموع ۱۲۴ میلیون توکن، برای تولید تعبیه‌های واژه‌ای به‌کار گرفته شد. با استفاده از این تعبیه‌ها، تغییرات در شباهت معنایی میان موضوع و وسیله‌ی ۵۱۵ استعاره ادبی قرن نوزدهم مدل‌سازی شد و این سنجه به‌عنوان نماینده‌ای برای سنجش دشواری پردازش استعاره در نظر گرفته شد. به‌طور کلی، شباهت معنایی و در نتیجه دشواری پردازش استعاره در طول زمان پایدار باقی ماند. با این حال، ژانر نقش کلیدی ایفا کرد: استعاره‌ها در زمینه‌های ادبی معاصر دشوارتر (یعنی شباهت کمتر میان موضوع و وسیله) از ادبیات قرن نوزدهم ظاهر شدند، اما در زبان غیرادبی امروزی (مانند وب) آسان‌تر (یعنی شباهت بیشتر میان موضوع و وسیله) از متون غیرادبی قرن نوزدهم بودند. این الگو همچنین تحت تأثیر ویژگی‌های معنایی واژگان منفرد استعاره‌ها، مانند انسجام برداری و تراکم همسایگی معنایی، قرار گرفت. در مجموع، این یافته‌ها با تغییرات زبانی گسترده‌تر در زبان ایتالیایی، مانند ساده‌سازی سبکی ادبیات معاصر که ممکن است دشواری پردازش استعاره را افزایش داده باشد و خلاقیت بالای زبان وب که به نظر می‌رسد استعاره را دسترس‌پذیرتر می‌سازد، هم‌راستا است.

The rapid expansion of digital technologies has changed the learning environment in which preschool children grow and develop. However, digital literacy in early childhood should not be reduced to the ability to operate a smartphone or tablet. It includes age-appropriate knowledge, practical skills, attitudes and safe patterns of interaction with digital information and tools. This article develops a methodological framework for forming preschool children's digital literacy through purposeful use of digital learning tools in activity centers. The study uses theoretical analysis, comparative analysis of international guidance, pedagogical modeling and methodological generalization. The proposed framework integrates digital tools into language, mathematics, science, construction, art, role-play and music-oriented activity centers while preserving hands-on, social and movement-based learning. A four-stage model—motivation and orientation, guided exploration, creative production, and reflection and transfer—is proposed. The article also identifies methodological principles, teacher roles, criteria for selecting digital content, indicators for monitoring children's progress, and safeguards related to screen balance, privacy, accessibility and adult co-engagement. The proposed approach positions technology as a pedagogical means rather than an independent learning goal and can be adapted to preschool institutions with different levels of technological provision.

گسترش سریع فناوری‌های دیجیتال محیط یادگیری‌ای را که کودکان پیش‌دبستانی در آن رشد می‌کنند، دگرگون ساخته است. با این حال، سواد دیجیتال در اوایل کودکی نباید صرفاً به توانایی کار با تلفن هوشمند یا تبلت تقلیل یابد. این مفهوم شامل دانش متناسب با سن، مهارت‌های عملی، نگرش‌ها و الگوهای ایمن تعامل با اطلاعات و ابزارهای دیجیتال است. این مقاله چارچوبی روش‌شناختی برای شکل‌دهی سواد دیجیتال کودکان پیش‌دبستانی از طریق استفاده هدفمند از ابزارهای یادگیری دیجیتال در مراکز فعالیت ارائه می‌دهد. این پژوهش از تحلیل نظری، تحلیل تطبیقی رهنمودهای بین‌المللی، مدل‌سازی آموزشی و تعمیم روش‌شناختی بهره می‌گیرد. چارچوب پیشنهادی، ابزارهای دیجیتال را در مراکز فعالیت با محوریت زبان، ریاضیات، علوم، ساخت‌وساز، هنر، بازی نقش‌آفرینی و موسیقی ادغام می‌کند و در عین حال یادگیری عملی، اجتماعی و مبتنی بر حرکت را حفظ می‌نماید. یک مدل چهار مرحله‌ای—انگیزش و جهت‌دهی، اکتشاف هدایت‌شده، تولید خلاقانه و بازتاب و انتقال—پیشنهاد شده است. همچنین، مقاله اصول روش‌شناختی، نقش‌های معلم، معیارهای انتخاب محتوای دیجیتال، شاخص‌های پایش پیشرفت کودکان و تدابیر حفاظتی مرتبط با تعادل صفحه‌نمایش، حریم خصوصی، دسترس‌پذیری و مشارکت بزرگسالان را شناسایی می‌کند. رویکرد پیشنهادی، فناوری را به عنوان ابزاری آموزشی و نه هدف یادگیری مستقل تلقی می‌کند و قابلیت انطباق با مؤسسات پیش‌دبستانی با سطوح مختلف تأمین فناوری را دارد.
