Authors: Alshehri Abdulmohsin A.
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to investigate the extent to which computer-assisted pronunciation (CAP) is influential in helping Hijazi students to develop their pronunciation of English vowels within a Saudi English as a foreign language (EFL) context. It also examined whether Saudi Hijazi learners taught English vowel sounds by CAP outperform those taught via hard-copy pronunciation materials. Data were collected from 18 students who undertook an English speaking course over 11 weeks. These learners were equally divided into the experimental and control groups, who received instruction on English vowels through CAP and traditional printed materials, respectively. Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed in this study. The results of the study show that CAP significantly enhanced Hijazi EFL students’ pronunciation of English vowel sounds, especially for those vowels that were nonexistent in their L1 phonemic inventory. They also suggest that CAP could be a beneficial tool to be incorporated into English speaking lessons.

Authors: Elverda Elysia , Nahdah Tasliyah Athaya , Hamali Sambudi
Published: January 2025

Background: Online Food Delivery (OFD) services increased after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, post-pandemic repurchase intentions on Indonesian OFD platforms such as GoFood, GrabFood, and ShopeeFood have declined. To understand the success factors for OFD service acceptance, this study employed a modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) approach.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the factors influencing repurchase intention, namely perceived price, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and service quality mediated by trust and consumer satisfaction among OFD platform consumers in Indonesia.
Method: The study employed a quantitative approach to investigate the causal relationships between variables. A questionnaire was distributed to 724 online food delivery (OFD) consumers in several big cities of Indonesia, including Jabodetabek, Bandung, Surabaya, Medan, Makassar, Balikpapan, and Yogyakarta. Respondents were selected using quota sampling. Structural equation modeling was used to test the research hypotheses and empirically investigate the factors influencing repurchase intention mediated by consumer satisfaction and trust among OFD platform consumers in Indonesia.
Findings: This study revealed that perceived price, perceived usefulness, ease of use, service quality, customer satisfaction, and trust influence repurchase intention. Among these factors, perceived usefulness is the most significant predictor of customer repurchase intention. In addition, trust mediates perceived price and repurchase intention, while customer satisfaction mediates the relationship between perceived usefulness, ease of use, service quality, and repurchase intention.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that post-COVID-19, by understanding the factors that influence repurchase intention (perceived price, perceived usefulness, ease of use, service quality, trust, and customer satisfaction), OFDs can increase their sales.
Research implication: The desire to repurchase through OFDs can be achieved through affordable product prices, having a communication plan that makes customers feel valued when using the website, implementing advertising strategies to make the website easy to use, fast and quality responses, and attractive visual features and designs.

Authors: Wahpiyudin Cep Abdul Baasith , Muhammadan Sabda Alam , Amalia Riska , Chrisanta Adelia , Taryana Asep
Published: January 2025

Background: Student interest in entrepreneurial pursuits remains low, despite the significant contributions of entrepreneurship to economic growth.
Purpose: This study investigates the factors influencing IPB students' interest in adopting AI-based entrepreneurship learning through the lens of design thinking, emphasizing the role of communication methods and their impact on motivation and attitudes.
Methods: This study adopts a mixed-method design, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative data were collected via an online survey from 173 IPB students, with 166 valid responses after data cleaning. Quantitative analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics (SPSS 25) and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The qualitative aspect involved a SCAMPER analysis within the design thinking framework to explore AI integration in entrepreneurship education. The PICOS framework was applied to explore the factors influencing AI adoption in higher education comprehensively. This mixed-method approach provides a holistic understanding of AI adoption in educational contexts.
Findings: Results indicate that learning motivation significantly affects students' intentions to engage with AI-based systems, positively impacting attitudes toward AI. Perceived ease of use also positively influences learning motivation and perceived usefulness, although perceived usefulness does not directly impact learning motivation. Additionally, interpersonal interactions and mass media positively influence attitudes and perceived usefulness, while awareness does not have a significant effect.
Conclusion: Expanding AI adoption in entrepreneurship education requires strategic communication, mainly focusing on Design Thinking’s empathize phase to understand student challenges. By iteratively proposing AI tools through the prototype phase, institutions can develop user-friendly, engaging solutions tailored to student needs, fostering higher adoption and engagement in entrepreneurship learning.
Research implication: These insights suggest that targeted communication strategies, including design thinking principles, can support broader AI adoption, enhance students’ entrepreneurial learning experiences, and foster a new generation of tech-savvy entrepreneurs.
The Role of Parent-child Relationship in Parental Financial Teaching and Financial Behaviour of Students
Authors: Antoni Xolile
Published: January 2025

Background: The parent-child relationship plays a crucial role in facilitating financial socialisation and has been found to influence students' financial behaviour. Research on this topic, however, remains scarce despite the prevalence of poor financial literacy and risky financial behaviour among students in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. This study limited parental financial socialisation practices to financial teaching.
Purpose: This study will investigate the role of parent-child relationship on parental financial teaching and financial behaviour.
Methods: The study adopted a quantitative research design, and primary data was collected from 360 students at Eastern Cape University using a closed-end questionnaire. In addition, correlation and multiple regression analyses were used to test the study's hypothesis.
Findings: The results show that the parent-child relationship significantly influences parental financial teaching and financial behaviour. Furthermore, parental financial teaching mediates the role of the parent-child relationship on financial behaviour. The results show that students who have a close relationship with parents in which parents show love and acceptance are more receptive to parental teaching on financial matters and thus, in turn, parental financial teaching influences students' financial behaviour.
Conclusion: Therefore, the quality of parent-child relationships is an important factor influencing the success of parental financial socialisation, which, in turn, improves students' financial outcomes.
Research implication: The implication for financial education is that parents should be involved in financial education programmes and tasked with the responsibility of guiding their children's financial behaviour. This study makes valuable contributions

Dynamic load balancing in AI-enabled cloud infrastructures using reinforcement learning and algorithmic optimization
Authors: Rajesh Daruvuri
Published: January 2025

Dynamic load balancing is a key challenge in AI-enabled cloud infrastructures with volatile resource demand. This results in resource utilization drifting away from balance and creating performance loss, so the infrastructure starts to operate inefficiently. In this paper, we introduce a principled approach based on reinforcement learning and algorithmic optimization to dynamically allocate the load across the infrastructure. Our approach is based on reinforcement learning, providing instructions on what the ideal actions for load balancing in an ever-changing environment are. It takes advantage of a deep neural network to capture the complex interactions from historical states and associated load-balancing actions. The best actions are selected by maximizing the sum of rewards, taking into account short-term and long-term objectives. To increase the efficiency of the load balancing even further, we then apply algorithmic optimization approaches like genetic algorithms and ant colony optimization. Smart load-balancing strategies: These are done using an introduction of deep Q-learning algorithms, which helps in the optimization of the decision-making process of such reinforcement learning agent targeting for highly intelligent and efficient load-balancing act aggregate. Experimental results based on simulations and real-world experiments show that our framework can help network programs highly efficiently balance workloads and significantly improve the performance of the infrastructure. It can adjust to changing resource demands and conditions as well, so it should prove effective against such a dynamic environment. Overall, we present a new paradigm for implementing dynamic load balancing for AI cloud infrastructures. By combining the best of reinforcement learning and algorithmic optimization, it can improve resource utilization, delivering high-performance servers.
Rethinking Section 230: Toward alternative strategies for protecting user privacy in the age of surveillance capitalism
Authors: Amaka Peace Onebunne
Published: January 2025

This paper critically examines the intersection of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) and surveillance capitalism, focusing on the inadequacies of the current legal framework in protecting users’ privacy in the age of automation. Using Google v. Gonzalez as a case study, it discusses the implications of Section 230 on privacy rights and the ethical frictions brought about by algorithmic content recommendation systems. Systems, while designed for better user experience, also exploit user data compromising privacy and exposing users to manipulation, biased framing, and increasingly polarized digital environments. Thus, this paper proposes alternative strategies, including regulatory reforms, the adoption of privacy-enhancing technologies, and the development of ethical models for platform governance. These measures aim to realign legal protections with the evolving realities of the digital economy.

Authors: Aras Bahar , Kallem Seyyar Gulce , Aras Özgen , Türkmen Utku
Published: January 2025

Background and purpose: Subjects should not see the area tested during the two-point discrimination (TPD) test. Various methods are used in the literature to hide the test area. However, there is yet to be a consensus on which method is the best. This study investigated the tactile acuity of different methods to obscure the line of vision in TPD testing in healthy young adults.
Methods: We evaluated the TPD thresholds of the dominant hand's three regions in 30 healthy young adults under four different visual conditions (two eyes open and two eyes closed). Friedman test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were used for statistical analysis.
Results: In all areas tested, the distance required to perceive two stimuli was smaller in the eyes open conditions. 46.70% of the participants reported being more comfortable and distinguishing two points more quickly when their eyes were open.
Conclusion: Although the threshold values of TPD are within clinically appropriate ranges in all four visual conditions, we suggest performing TPD testing while the patients' eyes are open. Clinicians may obtain more accurate results during TPD tests if subjects are tested with their eyes open rather than closed.

Authors: Arıkan Yunus , Öztekin Ünal
Published: January 2025

Purpose: Klinefelter Syndrome (47, XXY) and Y chromosome microdeletions are the most common causes of male infertility. We aimed to evaluate the most common genetic and non-genetic factors that causes male infertility in our region.

Material and Methods: In this current study, 58 patients diagnosed with azoospermia/oligozoospermia were invited to the polyclinic and 2 ml peripheral blood samples were collected. Genotyping was performed following the isolation of genomic DNA from peripheral blood samples of patients who accepted to participate in our study.

Results: We found that high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) value can be used as a predictive factor in azoospermia. We successfully revealed the potential of Klinefelter Syndrome (3.2%) but no Y chromosome microdeletions are responsible for primary male infertility. A patient with KS that having not only short height but also not-enlarged breasts were detected.

Conclusion: Physicians must be aware of unexpected features such as short stature may accompanied to KS in adult patients with untreated growth hormone. Non-genetic factors such as varicocele (28%) and smoking (28%) may have more potentials to explain primary infertility in our region.

Higher knowledge levels were associated with postgraduate training, experience in dementia care, and willingness to screen for dementia. Positive attitudes were linked to more years in residency, family history of dementia, and prior dementia-related education.
Conclusion: FMRs demonstrated limited knowledge but positive attitudes toward dementia. The study underscores the need for enhanced dementia training in residency programs to improve early detection and management skills among PCPs. Addressing gaps in knowledge and confidence can lead to better patient outcomes and more effective dementia care.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the relationship of kinesiophobia (fear of movement) and physical activity level with dyspnea, peripheral muscle strength and proprioceptive acuity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Metarial and Methods: A total of 36 COPD patients (mean age: 66.94 ± 10.40 years) were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study. Within the scope of the purpose of the current study, the patients’ demographics, respiratory symptoms, as well as clinical characteristics such as kinesiophobia level, physical activity level, dyspnea severity, peripheral muscle strength, and proprioceptive level were recorded from the patient file.
Results: The majority of the patients (72.2%) were GOLD Stage 2. The patients had a high level of kinesiophobia (≥ 37 points), low physical activity level, prolonged sitting time, and high dyspnea severity (mMRC ≥ 2). In addition, the quadriceps, iliopsoas and tibialis anterior muscle strength of the patients were 7.47±2.40 kg, 7.34±2.06 kg and 8.93 (7.10/9.60) kg, respectively, and the patients’ knee proprioception (degree of deviation from the target angle) were 3.50 (1.33/4.16) degrees. Kinesiophobia level showed a significant relationship with physical activity level and sitting time (p
Mechanosensitive TRPV4 Trafficking Drives TGF-Β-Mediated Mesenchymal Transition in Colorectal Cancer

Background and Purpose

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) enhances the invasive potential of cancers, significantly affecting survival rates in metastatic disease. TGF-β, a potent EMT regulator enriched in colon cancer (CRC), is influenced by bioelectric and biophysical forces. While some ion channels and mechanical forces are linked, TGF-β-coupled mechanosensing mechanisms in CRC remain poorly understood. This study investigates the mechanosensitive ion channel TRPV4 and its role in TGF-β-induced EMT, focusing on channel trafficking and its functional implications in CRC.

Methods

We analyzed mechanosensitive ion channels mRNA expressions in CRC stages and evaluated their association with survival through Kaplan-Meier analysis. Correlations were analyzed with mesenchymal gene sets, soluble factors, and TGF-β signaling. Immunofluorescence was used to visualize TRPV4 localization in untreated and 10 ng/mL TGF-β1-treated colon cell lines. Functional studies involved co-stimulation with TGF-β1 and TRPV4 modulators (GSK101 and HC-067047) to assess EMT-related changes.

Results

TRPV4 mRNA is elevated in CRC, with TRPV4-001 as the predominant isoform. High expression correlated with poor survival, EMT signatures, and TGF-β1 signaling . TGF-β1 induced out-of-nucleus TRPV4 translocation. TRPV4 inhibition reduced TGF-β-induced N-cadherin expression, mitigating EMT.

Conclusion

TRPV4 regulates TGF-β-induced EMT through trafficking mechanisms. Its inhibition presents anti-metastatic potential, identifying TRPV4 as a therapeutic target in CRC.
Prolonged Β-Hydroxybutyrate-Mediated Ketosis Enhances Ponatinib Response of K562 Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia Cells

Published: January 2025

Purpose: Ketosis is a metabolic state characterized by production of ketone bodies, including acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), and acetone, in response to reduced blood glucose levels. BHB stands out as the principal ketone body in nutritional ketosis which has diverse therapeutic implications for metabolic, nondegenerative and neoplastic disorders. In current study we investigated the impact of ketosis on chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) cell viability and drug response.
Materials and Methods: We investigated the impact of BHB-mediated ketosis on the viability of K562 cells, an in vitro model of CML, and explored the influence of BHB on the sensitivity of these cells to ponatinib, a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in CML treatment. We used MTT assay to measure cell viability and Hoechst/PI assay to measure cell death.
Results: Our findings reveal that BHB concentrations ranging from 1 mM to 5 mM, which fall within the physiological range of ketosis, elicit a minimal yet concentration-dependent reduction in cell viability. We also observed that while a 24-hour pre-treatment with BHB did not enhance the response of K562 cells to ponatinib, prolonged ketosis (4 days) improved response of cells to the drug by decreasing final cell viability from 25.15% to 13.12%. The primary mode of viability inhibition by ponatinib was cell death which was further intensified by exposure to prolonged ketosis.
Conclusion: Ketosis induced by ketogenic diet of ketone body supplementation is considered as safe and effective adjuvant cancer therapy options and here, we report its potential effectiveness in the context of CML.
