This qualitative study of thirteen South African caregivers in rural and urban old age homes reveals positive attitudes toward technology's potential to enhance elderly care efficiency and communication, while identifying network coverage and financial constraints as key barriers, ultimately informing the development of a targeted training program to empower caregivers.
This mini review synthesizes twelve studies to demonstrate that equitable library access—encompassing spatial, socioeconomic, digital, and design dimensions—is a direct causal driver of reading engagement, rather than merely a background condition, suggesting that removing access barriers is essential for fostering a reading-oriented society.
This systematic literature review of 63 studies demonstrates that human-centered educational technology, which prioritizes cognitive load, self-regulation, and equity, significantly enhances student engagement and learning outcomes in higher education compared to technology-centric approaches, while highlighting the need for coordinated pedagogical, infrastructural, and faculty development strategies to overcome persistent barriers like the digital divide.
This preregistered field experiment reveals that while hiding Instagram engagement metrics reduces passive content consumption and increases perceived social support, its impact on overall well-being is moderated by neuroticism, benefiting highly neurotic users while offering little to no advantage—or even a slight cost—to less neurotic users.
This mini literature review argues that achieving sustainable clean water access depends less on physical infrastructure alone and more on strengthening local government capacity, fostering collaborative governance, and implementing equitable financing mechanisms to overcome institutional fragmentation and political interference.
This systematic literature review utilizes bibliometric analysis to identify the psychological, financial, and structural challenges facing Master's and PhD students, ultimately advocating for holistic institutional reforms—including structured mentorship, equitable funding, and mental health resources—to foster academic resilience and equitable knowledge production.
This study proposes a Systems Thinking-based framework that utilizes tools like Causal Loop Diagrams and Participatory Systems Mapping to analyze the dynamics of informal settlements, identify leverage points, and develop effective, sustainable policies through stakeholder engagement and continuous evaluation.
This study examines how Central Asia navigates the shifting dynamics of the New Cold War through economic competition and hybrid warfare, proposing strategies like trade diversification and cybersecurity strengthening to maintain regional autonomy and stability amidst the competing interests of the US, China, and Russia.
Grounded in CAAI theory and a leave-no-trace perspective, this study empirically investigates how nature connection influences environmental empathy behavior among outdoor adventurers in China through a chained mediation model involving ecological affect and place attachment, aiming to address ecological damage and promote sustainable industry development.
Drawing on interviews and satirical examples from Chinese social media, this paper introduces the concept of "expressive engineering" to explain how users collaboratively construct, encode, and stabilize indirect political satire through a four-stage process to navigate risks while fostering group safety and shared understanding.
