The Relationship between Self-Esteem and Depression among Chronically Ill Teachers in Malaysia

This study aims to examine the relationship between self-esteem and depression levels among teachers with chronic illnesses. Utilizing a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, a sample of 510 teachers (43.3% male, 56.7% female) was selected via cluster sampling across Malays...

The Pattern of the Manager as a Coach: A Meta-Synthesis

The aim of this research is to propose a conceptual framework of the manager as a coach, extracted from the existing literature by using a meta-synthesis method. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis through Maxqda 2020 software. As a result, 13 main categories and...

Socratic, Artifact-Gated Generative AI Scaffolding in a 6E Inquiry Unit: A Clustered Quasi-Experiment in Elementary Students’ Computational Thinking

Open-ended computational thinking (CT) inquiry challenges one teacher to support learners progressing at different rates. This clustered quasi-experiment evaluated TALPer, a generative-AI tutor providing student-initiated, artifact-contingent Socratic prompts during a six-lesson...

Assisted Reproductive Technology and Risk of Congenital Heart Defects in the Offspring: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Background To date, >10 million children have been conceived via assisted reproductive technology (ART) globally. However, there are some concerns about potential adverse outcomes associated with ART‐conceived pregnancies, including the risk of congenital heart defects (CHDs). Th...

The Impact of Digital Inclusive Finance on Agricultural and Rural Modernization: Spatial Spillover and Threshold Analysis

In developing countries, agriculture underpins sustainable rural transformation. Using a provincial panel for China covering 2014 to 2023, this study investigates the role of digital inclusive finance in advancing agricultural and rural modernization. The empirical results indica...

Precision-Engineered CsPbBr3 Quantum Dots with Encapsulation and Tunable Size Exhibiting Temperature-Responsive Luminescence for Emerging Sensors

In this work, CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) were synthesised by hot injection, with reaction time controlling nanocrystal size and emission from 493 to 515 nm. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (23–80 °C) showed decreasing intensity but stable peak position. Embeddi...

Rapid adsorptive and optimization of batch process for removal of methylene blue using hybrid GA@SnO2-AC composite materials

Abstract Methylene blue poses different health risks to humans and harms the environment. The current research developed a hybrid adsorbent combining gallic acid and tin oxide, with the addition of activated carbon, to mitigate the detrimental impact of methylene blue effluent po...

Biomechanical comparison of two-, three-, and four-screw zero-profile ACDF constructs: effects of screw number and orientation

Zero-profile anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) constructs vary in screw number and trajectory, but their effects on immediate stability and load transfer remain unclear. This study compared two-, three-, and four-screw constructs and examined middle-screw orientation...

Rate‐Dependent Capacity Evolution and Time‐Controlled Degradation of MnO 2 Cathodes in Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

The excellent cycling stability of MnO 2 cathodes in aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) at high current densities often deteriorates at lower current densities, yet the origin of this rate‐dependent behavior remains unclear. Here, we uncover the interplay between current density...

Exploring Positive Identity in Autistic Adolescents: A Feasibility and Acceptability Study of a Co-designed Group Intervention

BackgroundCultivating a positive identity may buffer against the adverse mental health outcomes often experienced by autistic individuals. Group settings can provide valuable spaces for identity consolidation. This study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of a co-designe...

MODERN APPROACHES TO THE DIAGNOSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF LIVER FIBROSIS IN WOMEN WITH METABOLIC DYSFUNCTION DURING THE PERIMENOPAUSAL PERIOD

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is currently considered one of the most common chronic liver diseases and is closely associated with the increasing prevalence of obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and other cardiometabolic diso...

Blame Game, Corruption, and Leadership Failure in Nigeria

Nigeria is replete with abundant material and human resources that demand to be exploited through innovative, strategic, and creative leadership. An approach to leadership that is grounded in the cultural values of the populace and operates from the bottom up is critical in resol...

Knowledge Evolution and Paradigm-Level Change in AI-in-Education Research: A Scientometric Mapping and Critical Review (2015–2025)

Bibliometric commentary increasingly frames the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) as a paradigm shift in AI-in-education (AIED) research, yet rarely distinguishes publication growth from genuine reconfiguration of the knowledge base or of teacher–learner roles. This...
