Heroism to tragedy: A social semiotic analysis of visual framing in Ukraine–Russia and Israel–Gaza conflicts

This paper presents a comparative visual approach to the photography of war by international news media, that is, CNN, BBC, and Al-Jazeera English to two conflicts, the Russia–Ukraine and Israel–Palestine Gaza. We use visual grammar by Kress and van Leeuwen and framing theory by...

Socioeconomic status and rural–urban inequalities in AI access and academic performance for engineering students from the TVET

This study investigates socioeconomic and rural–urban disparities in access to artificial intelligence (AI) among engineering students enrolled following the TVET path in Bangladesh. We further analyse how socioeconomic status (SES) and geographic location affect access to AI too...

Selective Hydrogenation of Styrene to Ethylbenzene over a Pd/Cu(111) Single-Atom Alloy Surface

Abstract The hydrogenation of styrene (C6H5CH═CH2) to ethylbenzene (C6H5CH2CH3) over a 0.1 ML Pd/Cu(111) single-atom alloy (SAA) surface was investigated under ambient pressure conditions using polarization-dependent reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (PD-RAIRS). Gas-pha...

Negotiating AI integration in higher education curricula: Coping behaviour or career opportunity?

This study examines how higher education educators perceive artificial intelligence (AI) as both a coping resource and a catalyst for career development. Grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework and integrating Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) with Lazaru...

Artificial Intelligence for MRI-Based Identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review of Methods, Performance, and Clinical Translation

Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impairments in social communication and restricted or repetitive behaviours. Early diagnosis is important for timely intervention, motivating increasing interest in computer-aided diagnos...

From Conduit to Compliance Node: The Institutional Evolution of Supply Chain Intermediary Liability in China’s Anti-Counterfeiting Regime, 1979–2026

Background: Counterfeit goods realize illicit value only when moved, mainly by logistics intermediaries rather than counterfeiters, so how the law treats these intermediaries determines where enforcement can bite. This review traces the policies, laws, literature, and data releva...

RCMS: a robust cybersecurity metamodel for cloud computing in Saudi Arabia

Abstract Cloud computing underpins Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, making cybersecurity an escalating national concern. Existing security frameworks incorporate relevant measures but lack cloud-specific constructs in identified areas and are not localized to Saudi regulatory requirem...

Extremal trees with prescribed burning numbers

Graph burning is motivated by the spread of social influence, and the burning number measures the speed of the spread. A natural problem is to characterize graphs that are extremal with respect to order for a prescribed burning number. Since the burning number of a connected grap...

Functional antibody responses and protection against symptomatic dengue

Exposure to dengue virus (DENV) triggers the development of anti-viral antibodies that may contribute to either protection or disease progression. Antibodies exist in different isotypes and subtypes, with diverse specificities and functions. IgG antibodies are produced during pri...

Is AI adoption a pro-environmental choice? Integrating value-belief-norm theory and theory of planned behavior

Purpose Artificial intelligence (AI) could be essential to helping organizations improve efficiency and enable quick, accurate decision-making. This study investigates the adoption behavior of AI technology from an ecological perspective. Using the value-belief-norm (VBN) and the...

Gut Microbiota-Derived Indole-3-propionic Acid Attenuates Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticle-Induced Liver Injury by Targeting Kupffer Cells via the Gut–Liver Axis

Abstract Nanotitanium dioxide (nTiO2) is widely used as a food additive, leading to chronic dietary exposure and rising health concerns. Although adverse effects on the liver and gut microbiota have been individually investigated, whether gut microbiota mediates nTiO2-induced liv...

Challenges of early marriage in Indonesia: exploring the correlation between psychological distress and religiosity with marital satisfaction

This study examined the correlation between psychological distress, religiosity and marital satisfaction among individuals who entered early marriage in Indonesia. Eighty-two participants from five provinces were recruited using systematic random sampling. The ENRICH Marital Sati...

Short-form travel vlogs: The influence of parasocial interaction on viewers’ destination–self congruence and behavioural intention

Short-form travel vlogs posted on social media platforms such as YouTube Reels and TikTok are an increasingly popular tool for marketing tourism destinations. Understanding how to improve the quality and cut-through of short-form travel vlogs is therefore central to improving the...

DisasterScope: A Multi-Source Multimodal Dataset and Benchmark for Disaster Response and Severity Assessment

Disaster response often requires evidence from several sources, including satellite imagery, social media, news reports, audio and video recordings, and event metadata. Existing disaster datasets, however, usually focus on one source, a limited set of modalities or a single task....

Kramer’s rule with or without transcutaneous bilirubin screening for neonatal jaundice in primary healthcare clinics: a cost-minimization analysis

Neonatal jaundice (NNJ) is a prevalent condition requiring timely detection and management to prevent severe hyperbilirubinemia and its long-term sequelae. In Malaysia, NNJ screening in primary care predominantly relies on Kramer’s Rule (KR), followed by total serum bilirubin (TS...

Beyond aesthetics: Instagram interaction, positive emotions and psychological ownership in sustainable fashion consumption

Purpose Based on the lens of Stimulus–Organism–Response (SOR) framework, this study examines how Instagram stimuli, namely perceived post quality (PPQ) and user-to-user interaction (UTU), influence intention to purchase (ITP) and intention to recommend (ITR) sustainable fashion b...

Minimal-preprocessing paradigm for robust COVID-19 detection from cough audio using deep learning

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for rapid, accessible, and non-invasive screening tools to complement conventional diagnostic methods. While audio-based analysis of cough signals has emerged as a promising approach, most existing studies rely on complex pr...

Shared Leadership in Schools: A Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Agenda
