This exploratory quasi-experimental study involving 41 Grade 5 students in Colombo demonstrates that engaging with Buddhist Jataka tales and subsequent discussions effectively fosters and sustains empathetic behavior in children within a classroom setting.
This study employs a qualitative analysis of 47 interviews and policy documents to develop and validate an Integrated Ecotourism Development Framework that addresses institutional and infrastructural challenges in Oman's Dhofar Governorate, offering a holistic model for balancing environmental conservation, economic diversification, and community well-being to support sustainable regional development.
Using the T-SENCE framework to analyze over 55,000 Weibo posts, this study reveals that public fertility discourse is dominated by structural anxieties and exhibits profound gender heterogeneity, with women expressing internalized emotional tensions and men adopting externalized rational perspectives, thereby highlighting the urgent need to address asymmetric structural pressures to foster a fertility-friendly society.
This study of German youth found that while general psychological distress and eco-anxiety are positively associated with climate-policy-related conspiracy beliefs, only the cognitive components of eco-anxiety remain significant predictors after controlling for general conspiracy mentality, and coping strategies did not moderate these relationships.
This mixed-methods study demonstrates that implementing an integrated digital blended-learning course for histology at the University of Applied Sciences Campus Vienna significantly improved student examination performance and satisfaction compared to the previous cohort, highlighting the educational benefits of strategically combining complementary digital modalities to support self-directed learning.
Analyzing data from 92,921 children across 35 countries, this study finds that while material deprivation consistently lowers children's subjective well-being, the negative impact of each additional deprivation is significantly stronger in countries where deprivation is rare, supporting a relative rather than absolute understanding of child poverty.
This study of 168 university faculty members in Colombia reveals a significant and uniform gap between high self-perceived digital teaching competence and low actual performance, demonstrating that self-report surveys are unreliable for identifying training needs and highlighting the urgent need for performance-based assessments.
This cross-sectional study validates the Turkish adolescent version of the Multidimensional Digital Stress Scale, demonstrating its robust five-factor structure, high internal consistency, and suitability for research and child-health contexts, while noting the need for further validation of its reliability and criterion validity.
This mixed-methods study on Iran's Ministry of Science, Research and Technology (MSRT) higher education system identifies governance and educational policies as the primary drivers of organizational image reconstruction, utilizing a novel integration of Structural Equation Modeling and Gradient Boosting machine learning to validate these findings while acknowledging limitations in generalizability due to its cross-sectional, single-city design.
This article argues that while gender mainstreaming is ubiquitous in climate and sustainability policy instruments, it often remains rhetorical or procedural rather than transformative, failing to meet substantive equality standards by neglecting concrete redistributions of resources, authority, care, and entitlements.
