This paper introduces and validates the Food Alexiaisthisi Scale (FAS) as a reliable, unidimensional tool for measuring the difficulty in identifying and describing food sensory experiences, demonstrating its role in mediating the relationship between mindful eating and grazing.
This quantitative study applies Pull Theory and the SOR model to analyze 360 Thai travelers' responses, revealing that while "art city" components significantly shape destination image and experience to drive loyalty in Northern Thailand's second-tier cities, amenities and amiability have no significant impact, offering strategic guidance for resource allocation and policy-making.

Through an analysis of primary school teachers' testimonials, this paper argues that the ideologies of "pedagogy of love" and "teacher resilience" function as political mandates that mask the systemic exhaustion and burnout caused by inadequate working conditions, thereby necessitating a critical rethinking of educational policies and teacher training.
This paper critiques the context-blind nature of prevailing AI literacy frameworks in African higher education and proposes the AI Literacy for Sovereign Learning (AIL-SL) model, which integrates cognitive-technical, critical-epistemic, ethical-normative, and socio-cultural capacities to foster epistemic sovereignty rather than mere technical dependency.
Using Bronfenbrenner's PPCT model and a qualitative approach, this study identifies that public primary school teachers in South Africa's Bojanala District face significant challenges in safeguarding learners' right to human dignity due to limited legal knowledge, inadequate professional development, insufficient curriculum integration, and a lack of monitoring and support.
This paper utilizes a novel "Gender Swapping" experimental design to reveal that women hold inaccurate expectations about men's risk-taking behavior, leading them to become significantly more risk-averse when assigned a male identity, whereas men's expectations about women's risk preferences appear relatively accurate.
Analyzing data from 1972 to 2024, this study reveals that the unprecedented decline in happiness and psychological distress among young Americans is driven by a specific generational shift affecting cohorts born after 1995, rather than a universal effect of the current era on all young people.
This comparative qualitative study reveals that while South African TVET institutions are slightly better positioned than their Zimbabwean counterparts to support the green economy, both countries face critical challenges including outdated curricula, a shortage of skilled lecturers, and inadequate teaching strategies, necessitating policy reforms, faculty upskilling, and stronger industry collaboration to effectively prepare engineering graduates for green labor markets.
