This longitudinal study of nearly 30,000 older adults across 12 European countries reveals that while receiving help is associated with worse self-perceived health, the act of giving help significantly improves health status, particularly for those who also receive assistance.
Based on a study of 200 undergraduate students across five private universities in Dhaka, this paper demonstrates that academic engagement significantly mediates the positive relationship between psychological capital (self-efficacy, optimism, resilience, and hope) and student performance, suggesting that higher education policies should foster both psychological resources and engagement to advance quality education.
This study challenges the dominant narrative framing Ghana's *galamsey* as inherently illegal by tracing its etymological roots and historical regulation, while demonstrating through mixed-methods analysis that media and policy discourses have systematically shifted from recognizing it as "artisanal mining" to labeling it "illegal," thereby advocating for a repositioned, evidence-based approach to regulate it as a legitimate livelihood.
This study utilizes longitudinal data from China to demonstrate that increased digital financial inclusion is significantly associated with improved psychosocial health among adults aged 45 and older, a relationship that is partially mediated by telecommunications activity and primary hospital availability.

This paper presents methodological reflections and lessons learned from applying socio-anthropological approaches within the AIMIX project to explore the socio-cultural and ethical dimensions of AI-assisted obstetric ultrasound in Kenya, offering practical guidance for developing more inclusive and contextually informed AI solutions in low- and middle-income countries.
This cross-sectional study of 589 health professional students demonstrates that integrating structured peer teaching with faculty facilitation in home-based interprofessional education effectively enhances both knowledge acquisition and the perceived attainment of learning objectives.
This ethnographic study reconstructs the endangered indigenous STEM knowledge of Jono salt farmers in Central Java into a formal science curriculum by mapping their traditional production technologies and processes to six key chemistry topics, thereby preserving cultural heritage and enhancing science literacy through culturally responsive education.
A study of 500 criminology students at Isabela State University reveals that despite a predominantly male demographic, the respondents demonstrate high awareness of gender disparities and hold positive perceptions regarding gender inclusivity, university policies, and the overall academic climate.
Drawing on rescaling theory and a case study of Kunshan, this paper argues that China's edge cities are state-led political projects formed through hierarchical reorganisation and interjurisdictional coordination, which empower county-level governments to strategically reshape metropolitan governance and capital accumulation beyond Western market-driven suburbanisation models.
