Authors: Ajiye Olakunle Titus , Omokhabi Abiola Adiat
Published: February 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) has brought about transformative opportunities and has attracted the attention of many international organisations to the intent that UNESCO has held two international conferences on it. including (i) International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Education in 2019 in Beijing, focusing on leveraging AI to advance education and sustainable development. This conference resulted in the Beijing Consensus on Artificial Intelligence and Education, outlining strategies for AI integration in educational policies and systems (ii) Forum on AI and Education 2022, emphasising the use of AI to empower teachers and transform teaching practices globally. Meanwhile, there was a regional forum led by UNESCO which examined AI in the context of ethics and societal impact, contributing to frameworks like the Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in 2021. This paper focused on ethical challenges in academic writing and examines the growing significance of AI-powered tools for improving academic writing with an emphasis on how these innovations expedite research procedures raise writing standards and increase output. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools that save time and effort during drafting and editing include content generators citation managers and grammar checkers. These tools are very helpful for researchers and writers. The preservation of human creativity authorship plagiarism and intellectual integrity are some of the issues brought up by this growing reliance on AI. A number of ethical issues are looked at including who owns content created by AI the possibility of losing one’s ability to think critically and the possibility of idea misattribution. Though AI has the potential to completely transform academic writing the paper contends that in order to ensure that these technologies are used responsibly and enhance rather than replace human intellect and creativity a careful balance must be struck. There are suggestions given for preserving academic integrity and encouraging moral application of AI in research projects.
MORAL DILEMMAS AND HUMAN NATURE: ANALYZING THE ETHICAL LANDSCAPE IN D.H. LAWRENCE'S NOVELS
Authors: Ahlawat Sonal , Sharma J.K.
Published: February 2025

In his written works D.H. Lawrence demonstrates the testing of societal understanding towards moral controversy and human nature through his literary creations. Lawrence created a dual conflict between social rules and personal freedom to show how his stories explore romantic relationships and class distinctions and sexual intimacy and social rankings. The research examines Lawrence's ethical viewpoint through a study of his four main literary works which include Sons and Lovers, Women in Love, The Rainbow, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover. The characters in his writings encounter multiple complicated choice points where they discover personal truth while breaking traditional moral standards. An evaluation of Lawrence's writings through psychological and philosophical approaches and literary criticism enables researchers to link his works to investigations about human moral conduct. Modern writers borrow extensively from Lawrence's work because he created the fundamental principles that contemporary authors use to analyze ethical elements in literature. According to the findings, Lawrence's narratives continue to resonate with contemporary readers since they generate contemplation regarding individual wishes together with community expectations alongside liberation's definition. Further studies should analyze Lawrence's moral themes in contrast with those of modernist writers or through an examination of his hidden literary works to reveal his full perspectives on morality.

Authors: Annor Gifty , Aboagye George
Published: February 2025

Research findings show that insufficient fruit and vegetable intake increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, diabetes, and obesity. However, many individuals across various age groups and professions fail to meet the recommended daily intake of 4–5 servings. One such underrepresented group is bankers. This study assessed fruit and vegetable consumption practices among 157 bankers from 12 banks in Ho Municipality. Findings revealed that 48.4% of participants were overweight, with males recording the highest frequency, while 40.8% were obese and only 10.8% had a normal BMI. Most respondents consumed 1-2 servings daily, falling short of the recommended intake. Pawpaw was the most consumed fruit, followed by bananas and oranges, while soursop and apples were least consumed. Many participants were unaware of the link between fruit and vegetable intake and health outcomes like diabetes, weight gain, and cardiovascular diseases. Financial constraints and high costs were notable barriers to consumption. Though no significant association was found between fruit intake and waist-to-hip ratio (p=0.212), the findings emphasise the increased cardiovascular risk, especially among male bankers. The study also acknowledges the need for targeted awareness campaigns to promote adequate fruit and vegetable intake among bankers to improve their health outcomes.

Mass serological screening in the Armed Forces involves detecting serological markers of
chronic infections, particularly viral hepatitis B and C, syphilis, and HIV among young military
recruits. The objective of this study is to evaluate the analytical performance of the
chemiluminescence technique (CMIA-Architect i2000 SR) in mass serological screening using the serum-pooling method at the virology laboratory of the Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital.
Samples with known serological results (positive/negative) were grouped into pools of different sizes (2, 5, 10, and 15 sera). These pools were tested using chemiluminescence (CMIA-Architect i2000 SR). A cost analysis was conducted to assess potential savings based on seroprevalence and pool size.
Results showed that the pooling method maintained 100% specificity. Overall sensitivities for detecting positive samples were 93.1% for HBV, 83.33% for HCV, and 86.36% for HIV. Positive and negative predictive values were high for all three viral markers, highlighting the reliability of the pooling method. Additionally, this approach generated significant cost savings, ranging from 46% to 80%. 
Conclusion: This study demonstrated the solid analytical performance of the chemiluminescence technique (CMIA-Architect i 2000 SR) using the serum-pooling method for detecting HBV, HCV, and HIV serological markers in low-seroprevalence regions.

Pressure exists in health services research for teams to collect and synthesize qualitative data rapidly. Lacking is a standard process to aid team-based debriefings during the early stages of data collection in real time. We propose a systematic team-based process and template for use during the data collection phase of qualitative studies and demonstrate the utility of the approach using a Veteran’s Administration evaluation study. Guided Team Discussion (GTD) can improve the efficiency of team debriefing through a facilitated process that standardizes discussion format and sharing of learnings amongst the team on recently completed interviews. Notetaking of team debriefings is facilitated by the GTD template, which links team discussions to particular interviews and study time points. The GTD would be useful to researchers and clinicians who conduct health services studies with qualitative methods that require rapid recruitment and synthesis of results and to standardize notetaking of team debriefings.

Published: February 2025

Education for sustainable development (ESD) equips individuals with perspectives of value, ethics, foresight, and long-term decision-making regarding our future. Education plays a crucial role in acquiring the necessary knowledge and behaviors related to sustainable development (SD). Additionally, the curriculum can facilitate students in gaining competencies related to the sustainable development goals (SDGs). This study aims to explore how SDGs 4, 6, 8, and 15 and their three relevant competencies (knowledge and understanding; skills and applications; and values and attitudes) are incorporated in the current United Arab Emirates (UAE) elementary school science curriculum framework (2022) and science textbooks (grades 1-4). Guided by a qualitative approach, this study utilized content analysis for examining the objectives of the science curriculum and document analysis for assessing the extent to which SDGs are addressed in science textbooks. The results indicated that the science curriculum framework prominently features skills and applications for SDG 4 across all four grades. There was a moderate representation of knowledge and understanding and skills and applications for SDG 15, while SDG 6 and SDG 8 were represented minimally or not at all at times. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that no grade completely represented all three dimensions for any of the SDGs. Instead, the social dimension of SD was represented in SDG 4, the economic dimension in SDG 8, and the environmental dimension primarily in SDG 15 and occasionally in SDG 6. The document analysis of the Science textbooks from grades 1-4 showed similar findings to the content analysis. Overall, SDG 4–Quality education was the most represented goal in both the science curriculum framework and science textbooks, followed by SDG 15–Life on land, with SDG 6–Clean water and sanitation and SDG 8–Decent work and economic growth having the least representation. For SD to be achieved, curricula must be enhanced, updated regularly, and revised constantly. Learning outcomes should align closely with SDGs to ensure appropriate representation at each grade level.

Authors: Segal Ruti
Published: February 2025

This three-year study aimed to examine how an intervention program that included mentoring alongside documenting and sharing lesson plans (LPs) over a collaborative platform environment contributed to the development of the pedagogical content knowledge of in-service mathematics teachers undergoing their first experience teaching advanced high school mathematics. In the program, 20 experienced teachers (mentors) in 20 high schools accompanied 24 inexperienced teachers (mentees) in the planning, teaching, sharing, and documenting of their advanced mathematics lessons on a specially created, collaborative online platform called RAMZOR and in professional development workshops. The RAMZOR platform enables documenting and sharing LPs and resources. The results indicate that, according to the mentees, the combination of mentoring and collaborative platform led to the development of the professional knowledge required for teaching advanced-level high school mathematics and an increase in their self-confidence, sense of efficacy, and ability to meet curriculum goals.
Undergraduate students’ understanding of the application of integral calculus in kinematics
Authors: Tatira Benjamin
Published: February 2025

In calculus, students can integrate functions that require procedures or algorithmic rules, but they grapple with contextual problems involving real-life motion of physical bodies. When undergraduate students learn the application of integration, they are expected to comprehend the concept of integration and apply it to optimization. This study used the action-process-object-schema (APOS) theory to determine undergraduate students’ construction of the application of integral calculus to kinematics. This study was qualitative and involved a case study of 150 secondary mathematics students registered for a Bachelor of Education degree at a university in South Africa. Data were collected through a written test by all the students and semi-structured interviews with eight students. The eight students were selected purposively, and the interview questions were meant to clarify some of the responses raised in the test. The content analysis of the written responses was done to reveal the stages of students’ concept development of kinematics. The findings revealed that students had significant challenges performing second- and third-level integration. These involve substituting the initial conditions at least once to find the constant integration for each level. Furthermore, students’ connection with displacement, velocity and acceleration concepts was weak, coupled with their failure to consider the point when the object was momentarily at rest.

Authors: Ding Liwei , Shih Kowei , Wen Hairu , Li Xinshi , Yang Qin
Published: February 2025

Multimodal image analysis is a significant research direction in the field of computer vision, playing a crucial role in tasks such as image captioning and visual question answering (VQA). However, existing visual-language fusion methods often struggle to capture the fine-grained interactions between visual and language modalities, leading to suboptimal fusion results. To address this issue, this paper proposes a visual-language fusion model based on the Cross-Attention Transformer, which constructs deep interactive relationships between visual and language modalities through cross-attention mechanisms, thereby achieving effective multimodal feature fusion. The proposed model first utilizes convolutional neural networks (CNN) and pre-trained language models (e.g., BERT) to extract visual and language features separately, and then applies cross-attention modules to capture mutual dependencies in feature sequences, resulting in a unified multimodal representation vector. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model significantly outperforms traditional methods in tasks such as image captioning and VQA, validating its superiority in multimodal image analysis. Additionally, visualization analysis and ablation experiments further explore the contribution of the cross-attention mechanism to model performance, while discussing the model's limitations and potential future improvements.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to compare how the metaphor of rage is expressed in Arabic and English, given the paucity ofresearch on this topic in the Arabic language. In other words, the study investigates how Arabs perceive anger and whetherArabic and English expressions of anger are both culturally and physiologically corresponding. Kövecses’ model and theframework developed by Lakoff and Kövecses are the main tools used in the present study. In order to find any parallelsor differences in how rage is conceptualized in Arabic and English, it looks at a variety of Arabic terms and expressionsrelated to anger and measure them against the previously outlined model of Lakoff and Kövecses. According to the study,anger expressions in Arabic and English are essentially the same. The cognition of speakers from both Arabic and Englishcultures has been significantly influenced by the physiological repercussions of anger, thereby reducing cultural disparitiesamong speakers of the other languages. The Arabic language may demonstrate a wider array of expressions of anger thanthe English language. This work’s originality is found in its comparative study of how the concept of anger is expressed inClassical Arabic and English, with fresh and inventive results.
Heteroglossic Engagement in Research Articles on Gender Studies
Authors: Aljuaythin Wafa
Published: February 2025

This study analyzed the engagement resources, a subtype of the Appraisal system in research articles on gender studies. It examined heteroglossic resources in relation to the gender of authors and specific sections in the research articles, namely the introduction and conclusion. The UAM CorpusTool was used to annotate the comprised data of research articles and to generate frequencies and percentages of each subtype of engagement. The findings suggested that the articles in this study use “contract” more than “expand” throughout the whole corpus, but female authors tend to “expand” more. “Counter”, which is a form of “disclaiming” an argument, was found to be used more than “deny”. In terms of rhetoric, it was identified that male authors establish their stance by “proclaiming” with previous stances, and female authors propose their view by welcoming other possibilities, which was shown in the frequent use of “expand”. These findings suggest that gender may influence the use of engagement resources in academic writing, potentially impacting how authors construct their arguments and engage with the scholarly community. Additionally, such findings can enhance scholarly communication by encouraging authors to be mindful of how gender may influence their writing style and engagement strategies, leading to more inclusive and equitable academic discourse. While this study identified some differences between male and female authors, additional studies are necessary to investigate further the ways in which gender may affect writing.

Marriage is a union between two individuals who rely on each other, provide mutual support, and build a shared life. Self-adjustment and emotional intelligence are essential factors in fostering marital harmony. Married couples with a high level of self-adjustment and emotional intelligence tend to evaluate various situations in their marital life more positively. This study employs a descriptive correlational method with 170 respondents selected through accidental sampling. The instruments used include the Emotional Intelligence Scale and the Self-Adjustment Scale. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation technique. The results indicate a positive and significant relationship between emotional intelligence and self-adjustment in married individuals in early adulthood (r = 0.262, p = 0.001; p < 0.05).
