This pre–post survey study of Chilean dental students demonstrates that participating in service-learning activities significantly enhances empathy, strengthens social norms, and reduces perceived barriers to community service, thereby supporting the early integration of such experiences into dental curricula to foster socially responsible professionals.
This cross-sectional study of 225 medical sciences students in Iran found that while 83.6% reported high academic motivation, only female gender, emotional intelligence, and psychological well-being were independently significant predictors of this motivation, whereas self-efficacy, resilience, and demographic factors were not.
This study of 15 German secondary classrooms reveals that teacher, student, and observer perspectives on four types of classroom humour show systematic perceptual divergences, with teacher and student reports generally aligning more closely with each other than with observer ratings, thereby demonstrating that humour is a perspective-dependent phenomenon where different reporting methods provide complementary rather than equivalent insights.
This quasi-experimental study demonstrates that while audiovisual instruction significantly outperforms textbook-based learning in immediate recall and student engagement, the effectiveness of both modalities for long-term retention depends on content complexity, offering evidence-based guidance for selecting instructional methods to optimize specific learning outcomes.
This scoping review addresses the academic gap regarding kinship-based organised crime in Northern Europe by identifying eight core structural and behavioural characteristics that distinguish these family-based networks from other forms of organised crime, ultimately calling for more empirical research to inform effective prevention strategies.
This study analyzes Australian court transcripts to develop a four-stage crime script of money mule operations across three financial tracks, offering evidence-based recommendations for targeted prevention strategies and multi-stakeholder collaboration.
This mixed-methods corpus-pragmatic study reveals that digital social media communication primarily reshapes English through lexical, orthographic, and multimodal innovations rather than syntactic changes, arguing that these findings necessitate the integration of digital registers and multimodal literacy into EFL pedagogy.
This mixed-methods study of Vietnamese undergraduates reveals that instrumental motivation influences English communication behavior indirectly through a sequential pathway where career-oriented goals first foster learning perseverance, which in turn strengthens English self-efficacy to drive actual communicative engagement.
Utilizing data from the 2022 Somali Integrated Household Budget Survey, this study reveals that women with disabilities in Somalia face a significant, independent disadvantage in employment opportunities, with their odds of working approximately 32% lower than those of women without disabilities after controlling for demographic and socioeconomic factors.
Drawing on ethnographic research in Harare, this article argues that youth touting ("mahwindi") is not merely a criminal nuisance but a vital survival strategy necessitated by economic decline and unemployment, urging authorities to move beyond ineffective criminalization and repression toward recognizing and constructively engaging with this embedded informal livelihood.
