This study reveals that the fertility transition in the Sahel stalls specifically at higher parities (three and above), with Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger diverging significantly only after the third child, indicating that the region's high fertility differentials are driven by women who already have large families rather than by adolescent reproductive patterns.
This study analyzes media sentiment across five global regulatory regimes from 2024 to 2025, revealing that contrary to expectations, the strictest EU framework generated the most positive coverage while looser US and UK frameworks were less favorable, with regulatory events driving significantly larger coverage spikes than technological ones in most jurisdictions.
This paper presents the first citation-network analysis of Saudi Arabian legislation using a newly released machine-readable corpus, revealing that while the system is predominantly cross-referential rather than hierarchical, its structure is highly concentrated around key instruments like the Companies Law and contains significant data quality issues such as misresolutions and citations to unrecovered repealed laws.
This article analyzes European family-immigration policies from 1990 to 2018 using the IMPIC dataset to reveal a restrictive drift characterized by a "conditionality turn" toward stricter economic and integration requirements, rather than a uniform race to the bottom or complete policy convergence.
This study demonstrates that varying the occupational persona of a legal advice chatbot significantly influences users' perceived task difficulty, with a mediator-like persona rated as least difficult and suggesting that designing AI with high agreeableness and low neuroticism could enhance the understandability of complex legal advice.
This study introduces and empirically validates the CUE framework, which assesses health journalism quality through credibility, understandability, and engagement, demonstrating its relevance for both medical and non-medical topics while highlighting distinct evaluation criteria between expert and lay audiences.
This longitudinal study of 989 undergraduate students in a Philippine higher education institution reveals that while overall academic performance initially improves and then declines over five semesters, significant heterogeneity in these trajectories across different degree programs suggests that institution-wide averages may obscure critical program-specific trends, thereby supporting the need for longitudinal monitoring in academic advising and planning.
This study employs a bibliometric analysis of 471 Scopus-indexed publications from 1970 to 2025 to map the intellectual structure and thematic evolution of Islamic education research, revealing its progression through three distinct phases, the dominance of Indonesia as a contributing nation, and a significant shift from theological foundations toward pedagogical innovation and technology integration.
This library-based policy analysis argues that while Canada's TCPS 2 provides a durable ethical foundation, it requires adaptation into a six-gate lifecycle oversight framework to effectively address the evolving risks of AI-enabled health research across data, development, deployment, and change.
This systematic review of 65 studies reveals a significant "policy deficit" in AI-driven social-emotional learning research, where most papers lack specific, actor-oriented policy guidance due to academic incentives favoring technical innovation, prompting a call to shift from treating policy as an afterthought to integrating it as a core methodological component.
