This qualitative case study examines how West African immigrant entrepreneurs in Wa, Ghana, employ four distinct strategic responses to navigate institutional constraints and actively reshape their local business environment, thereby extending mixed embeddedness theory to secondary urban contexts.
This study demonstrates that while conventional instruction directly impacts biology academic performance, the 5-I instructional model significantly enhances learning outcomes indirectly by fostering scientific creativity and self-efficacy, which subsequently improve student attitude, motivation, and performance, as validated by a mixed-methods analysis leading to the proposed ICAPe Framework.
This qualitative co-produced study of 45 young Australians reveals that climate change profoundly threatens their psychological well-being by undermining what matters most, prompting calls for upstream climate interventions, holistic education, and collective action to support their mental health and future visions.
This paper examines the unique ethical challenges and governance needs of AI in healthcare, defense, transportation, and education, proposing a structured framework that balances shared principles with domain-specific risks to ensure responsible deployment and public trust.
Based on interviews with 30 Swedish adults, this qualitative study utilizes a multilevel, interdisciplinary framework to identify the psychological, social-psychological, and sociotechnological vicious cycles that sustain involuntary singlehood and celibacy, offering a balanced perspective that counters both over-psychologization and over-politicization of romantic frustration.
This mixed-methods study examines the Kandy Esala Perahera's dual role in driving cultural tourism and preserving Sri Lankan intangible heritage, concluding that while the festival significantly boosts socio-economic benefits and cultural identity, its long-term sustainability requires balanced management strategies to mitigate challenges like commercialization and overcrowding through collaborative governance and community participation.
This qualitative design-based case study demonstrates that educators develop facilitation competence through iterative cycles of reflective participation in a Problem-Based Learning professional development course, revealing the critical role of reflection in navigating group dynamics and introducing "epistemic facilitation" as a key dimension for maintaining disciplinary knowledge within collaborative inquiry.
This article critically examines the tensions between bankruptcy efficiency and tort justice in mass tort resolution, arguing that China must transcend localized legislative fixes by adopting three universal institutional prerequisites—systematic value identification, independent future claimant representation, and recalibrated intergenerational priority rules—to bridge the gap between commercial efficiency and distributive justice.
This quasi-experimental study demonstrates that while both ChatGPT and Mixed Reality-based embodied AI significantly improve ESL learners' job interview oral performance compared to traditional instruction, with the embodied AI yielding the greatest gains, neither modality produced statistically significant reductions in speaking anxiety, highlighting the continued necessity of human instructors in technology-enhanced language learning.
This study employs a computational, cross-linguistic analysis of Chinese, Spanish, and German political discourse to demonstrate that while climate change frames show significant semantic convergence in issue definition, they diverge markedly in moral evaluation and policy recommendations due to culturally specific semantic adaptations.
