Multi-Source Data-Driven Quality Assessment of Waterfront Public Spaces in Urban Contexts
Authors: Wu Xiaowen , Li Xinru
Published: January 2025

Quality assessment of public spaces is critical in sustainably enhancing urban spatial quality. Existing studies focus on fundamental indicators (e.g., geographic accessibility, planning rationality, and social benefits) and often rely on geographic big data as the primary research input. However, multidimensional interactive analyses that integrate users, places, and spatial configurations are often lacking, making it hard to capture actual user needs and satisfaction levels precisely. To address this issue, we propose a multi-source data-driven approach for spatial quality evaluation, where three types of data (user satisfaction (people), points of interest (places), and urban morphology (space)) are combined. Through a comprehensive comparison of nine representative high-quality waterfront public spaces with multi-source data, common characteristics that are crucial for assessing waterfront public space quality in urban contexts have been analyzed and discussed. The results reveal three key factors significantly influencing waterfront public space quality: the spatial distribution, land-use attributes, and proportion of types of service facilities. First, service facilities with the highest user satisfaction tend to exhibit clustered spatial patterns. Second, municipal and commercial functions play a leading role in spatial quality. Thirdly, a suitable ratio of service facility types is advantageous for enhancing user satisfaction. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation requires consideration of facility distributions, urban morphologies, and surrounding land-use functions. The proposed multi-source data-driven approach holds great potential for developing innovative and sustainable waterfront design strategies.

Authors: Lim Pooreum , Shim Jae Ho
Published: January 2025

This study presents the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of ketoprofen 1,4-sorbitan ester, a novel compound with potential applications in drug delivery. The compound was synthesized through a two-step process involving the acid-catalyzed dehydration of D-Glucose to form 1,4-sorbitan, followed by esterification with ketoprofen. The structures of ketoprofen 1,4-sorbitan ester and the reference compound, ketoprofen methyl ester, were rigorously analyzed using a combination of advanced analytical techniques. High-resolution accurate mass liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry was used to determine the precise molecular mass and elemental composition of the synthesized compounds. 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy provided detailed information on the molecular structure and atomic connectivity to identify the specific functional groups and confirm the formation of ester bonds.
Robotic Arm Trajectory Planning Based on Improved Slime Mould Algorithm
Authors: Li Changyong , Xing Hao , Qin Pengbo
Published: January 2025

The application of robotic arms in the industrial field is continuously becoming greater and greater. The impact force generated by a robotic arm in a gripping operation leads to vibration and wear. To address this problem, this paper proposes a trajectory planning method based on the improved Slime Mould Algorithm. An interpolation curve under the joint coordinate system is constructed by using seven non-uniform B-spline functions, with time and impact force as the optimization objectives and angular velocity, angular acceleration, and angular acceleration as the constraints. The original algorithm introduces Bernoulli chaotic mapping to increase the diversity of the population, adaptively adjusts the feedback factor, improves the crossover operator to accelerate the global convergence, and combines the original algorithm with an improved artificial bee colony search strategy guided by the global optimal solution, adding a quadratic interpolation method to increase the diversity of the population and to accelerate the global convergence speed. Combined with the improved artificial swarm search strategy guided by the global optimal solution, the quadratic interpolation method is added to enhance the local utilization ability. The simulation and real-machine experimental results show that the improved algorithm shortens the movement time of the robotic arm, reduces the joint impacts, minimizes the vibration and wear, and prolongs the service life of the robotic arm.
On the Martínez–Kaabar Fractal–Fractional Reduced Pukhov Differential Transformation and Its Applications
Authors: Martínez Francisco , Kaabar Mohammed K. A.
Published: January 2025

This paper addresses the extension of the Martinez–Kaabar fractal–fractional calculus (simply expressed as MK calculus) to the context of reduced differential transformation, with applications to the solution of some partial differential equations. Since this differential transformation is derived from the Taylor series expansion of real-valued functions of several variables, it is necessary to develop this theory in the context of such functions. Firstly, classical elements of the analysis of functions of several real variables are introduced, such as the concept of partial derivative and Clairaut’s theorem, in terms of the MK partial α,γ-derivative. Next, we establish the fractal–fractional (FrFr) Taylor formula with Lagrange residue and discuss a sufficient condition for a function of class Cα,γ∞ on an open and bounded set D⊂R2 to be expanded into a convergent infinite series, the so-called FrFr Taylor series. The theoretical study is completed by defining the FrFr reduced differential transformation and establishing its fundamental properties, which will allow the construction of the FrFr reduced Pukhov differential transformation method (FrFrRPDTM). Based on the previous results, this new technique is applied to solve interesting non-integer order linear and non-linear partial differential equations that incorporate the fractal effect. Finally, the results show that the FrFrRPDTM represents a simple instrument that provides a direct, efficient, and effective solution to problems involving this class of partial differential equations.
Metabolomic Characterisation of Low-Density Lipoproteins Isolated from Iodixanol and KBr-Based Density Gradient Ultracentrifugation
Authors: Webb Richard J. , Lodge John K. , Scott Sophie S. , Davies Ian G.
Published: January 2025

Background/Objectives: Salt-based density gradient ultracentrifugation (SBUC) is frequently used to isolate lipoproteins for their subsequent analysis. However, the addition of salts may disrupt their molecular composition. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the impact of SBUC upon the molecular composition of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, compared to a validated non-salt method involving iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation (IGUC). Methods: Whole human plasma was analysed for various lipid parameters before LDL particles were isolated using both SBUC and IGUC methods. Each fraction was then filtered to obtain low-molecular-weight compounds. The LDL molecular content of the resulting fractions from both methods was determined using untargeted liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in positive and negative modes. Results: A total of 1041 and 401 features were putatively identified using positive and negative modes, respectively. Differences were shown in the molecular composition of LDL prepared using SBUC and IGUC; in positive mode ionisation, the PLS-DA model showed reasonable fit and discriminatory power (R2 = 0.63, Q2 = 0.58, accuracy 0.88) and permutation testing was significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The findings reveal distinct differences in the small molecule composition of LDL prepared using the two methods, with IGUC exhibiting greater variation. In negative mode, both methods detected phospholipids, long-chain sphingolipids, and ceramides, but IGUC showed higher fold differences for some phospholipids. However, in positive mode, non-native brominated adducts were found in LDL isolated using SBUC and evidence of potential bacterial contamination was discovered in samples prepared using IGUC, both of which have the capacity to affect in vitro experiments.

Authors: Sorgiovanni Ilaria , Del Giudice Maria Livia , Galimberti Sara , Buda Gabriele
Published: January 2025

Multiple myeloma is a malignant hematological tumor characterized by the proliferation of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow causing organ damage. Despite improved survival rates due to the increasing availability of therapeutic options in recent decades, it remains an incurable disease, with most patients ultimately relapsing. Consequently, relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma disease (RRMM) has become a treatment priority. Immunotherapy is the backbone of treatment in RRMM, starting with monoclonal antibodies such as elotuzumab, daratumumab, and isatuximab. The aim of this review is summarizing the results of RRMM trials with monoclonal antibodies and of the principal ongoing trials containing them. Additionally, we put a brief focus on novel drugs (such as bispecific antibodies) to provide a better overview. The advent of monoclonal antibodies has been nothing short of a game-changer for multi-refractory patients. It has opened up a whole new world of possibilities, offering myeloma patients a brighter and more hopeful future, even in the face of relapse.

Authors: Nawaz Ayesha Fazal , Gargiulo Sara , Pichierri Alessandro , Casolo Valentino
Published: January 2025

Global climate change has increased the severity and frequency of abiotic stresses, posing significant challenges to the survival and growth of woody plants. Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs), including starch and sugars, play a vital role in enabling plants to withstand these stresses, helping to stabilize cellular functions by buffering plant energy demands and facilitating recovery on the alleviation of stress. Despite the recognized multiple functions of NSCs, the contrasting effects of multiple abiotic stresses on NSCs dynamics in woody plants remain poorly understood. This review aims to explore the current knowledge of the contrasting effects of abiotic stress conditions including drought, salinity, heat, water logging, and cold on NSCs dynamics. The roles of NSCs in regulating stress-resilience responses in woody plants are also discussed, along with the challenges in NSC measurement, and options for future research directions are explored. This review is based on comprehensive literature research across different search engines like Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar (2000–2024) using targeted keywords. This study compiles the current research on NSCs functions and provides insights into the adaptive strategies of woody plants in response to changing climate conditions, providing groundwork for future research to improve stress tolerance in woody plants.

Published: January 2025

Effective sound absorption materials are essential for mitigating noise pollution in urban and industrial environments, which pose serious health risks to humans. This work develops a hierarchical natural fibre binderless composite based on porous luffa, modified with localised cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), for application in acoustic panels. The impedance tube approach was employed to systematically evaluate sound absorption performance across a range of frequencies. Adding 3 wt.% and 7 wt.% CNCs to the porous luffa structure improved its sound absorption, especially in mid-to-high frequency areas. The binderless luffa panels with 3% CNC panels exhibited the most balanced performance across various thicknesses, while 7% CNC–luffa panels demonstrated excellent sound absorption averages across all frequency ranges, although increased rigidity and reflective tendencies were observed. The nano-modification successfully maintained the sound absorption coefficient with reduced panel thickness. This study establishes CNC-modified luffa composites as a sustainable and efficient alternative to conventional acoustic materials, leveraging renewable resources and lightweight characteristics. These findings highlight the potential of CNC-luffa composites for noise mitigation, paving the way for environmentally conscious acoustic solutions.

Published: January 2025

The Curiosity rover, from NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), has climbed nearly 740 m from its landing location at −4500.971 m in Gale Crater to a location reached on sol 3967 on the slopes of Mt. Sharp at −3765.27 m. We examine the atmospheric pressure, surface and atmospheric temperatures, relative humidity, and water vapor volume mixing ratios from measurements made by the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS), taken along the trajectory traveled over 3967 sols spanning from late MY31 to mid-MY37, on an interannual scale. The results help us understand the Martian meteorology inside Gale Crater. The atmospheric pressure and temperature changes caused by the elevation variation of the rover show the impact of the altitude change on the atmospheric dynamics. Regarding the rover’s locations for MY32 and MY36, a detailed comparative analysis of the full diurnal cycle is performed for the solstices and equinoxes. These scenarios are examined using the REMS and the Mars Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (MRAMS) data. We compare the REMS and MRAMS data to evaluate their concordance. We present, for the first time, a hypothesis for the existence of the cold pool phenomenon, which also occurs on Earth, based on REMS data.
Visual Target-Driven Robot Crowd Navigation with Limited FOV Using Self-Attention Enhanced Deep Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Li Yinbei , Lyu Qingyang , Yang Jiaqiang , Salam Yasir , Wang Baixiang
Published: January 2025

Navigating crowded environments poses significant challenges for mobile robots, particularly as traditional Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)-based methods often struggle with dynamic and unpredictable settings. This paper proposes a visual target-driven navigation method using self-attention enhanced deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to overcome these limitations. The navigation policy is developed based on the Twin-Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) algorithm, enabling efficient obstacle avoidance and target pursuit. We utilize a single RGB-D camera with a limited field of view (FOV) for target detection and surrounding sensing, where environmental features are extracted from depth data via a convolutional neural network (CNN). A self-attention network (SAN) is employed to compensate for the limited FOV, enhancing the robot’s capability of searching for the target when it is temporarily lost. Experimental results show that our method achieves a higher success rate and shorter average target-reaching time in dynamic environments, while offering hardware simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment in real-world applications.

Published: January 2025

As autonomous driving technology advances, connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) will coexist with human-driven vehicles (HDVs) for an extended period. The deployment of CAVs will alter traffic flow characteristics, making it crucial to investigate their impacts on mixed traffic. This study develops a hybrid control framework that integrates a platoon control strategy based on the “catch-up” mechanism with lane management for CAVs. The impacts of the proposed hybrid control framework on mixed traffic flow are evaluated through a series of macroscopic simulations, focusing on fundamental diagrams, traffic oscillations, and safety. The results illustrate a notable increase in road capacity with the rising market penetration rate (MPR) of CAVs, with significant improvements under the hybrid control framework, particularly at high MPRs. Additionally, traffic oscillations are mitigated, reducing shockwave propagation and enhancing efficiency under the hybrid control framework. Four surrogate safety measures, namely time to collision (TTC), criticality index function (CIF), deceleration rate to avoid a crash (DRAC), and total exposure time (TET), are utilized to evaluate traffic safety. The results indicate that collision risk is significantly reduced at high MPRs. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the deployment of CAVs, using control strategies to improve mixed traffic flow operations.

Published: January 2025

For the past few years, biochar has emerged as a promising material for the removal of various pollutants from aquatic environments, owing to its advantageous characteristics, such as tunable porosity, abundant surface functional groups, ease of modification, and relative stability. Co-doping biochar with heteroatoms significantly enhances its surface properties by introducing additional functional groups and surface defects, which facilitate the adsorption and catalytic degradation of pollutants. This review conducts bibliometric analyses of relevant publications, synthesis methodologies, applications, and reaction mechanisms of co-doped biochar as an adsorbent and catalyst for contaminant removal, due to the synergistic effects of doping elements and biochar features. Furthermore, co-doping strategies and associated properties including specific surface area (SSA), surface functional groups, and defects of biochar are analyzed. Finally, future research directions are proposed to improve the efficiency of biochar in water and soil remediation applications. In summary, this review advances the frontier of research on heteroatom-based co-doped biochar and offers new insights into strategies for effective contaminant removal.

Published: January 2025

Emulsified acid treatments present an innovative and environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional hydrochloric acid (HCl) methods in enhancing oil recovery. This study investigates the application of a stable emulsified acid formulation in matrix acidizing operations to improve injectivity in four wells within the Qusahwira Field. Compared to traditional 15% HCl treatments, the emulsified acid demonstrates deeper acid penetration and retardation effect leading to enhanced injection rate. By delivering deep worm holing effects against calcium carbonate formation, this dual-phase system enhances injectivity by 14 times while minimizing the environmental and material impacts associated with spent acid volumes. The methodology integrates advanced neural network modeling to predict stimulation outcomes based on 15 operational and reservoir factors. This model reduces the trial-and-error approach, cutting operational costs and time for carbonate reservoir. Field trials reveal significant improvements in injection pressure and a marked reduction in circulation pressure during stimulation, underscoring the treatment’s efficiency. Developed in a Superior Abu Dhabi laboratory, the emulsified acid achieves high-temperature stability (200 °F) and deep acid penetration, further reducing the ecological footprint of acid stimulation by enhancing operational precision and reducing chemical use. This paper highlights a sustainable approach to optimizing reservoir productivity, aligning with global efforts to minimize environmental impacts in oil recovery processes.
The Spatiotemporal Coupling and Synergistic Evolution of Economic Resilience and Ecological Resilience in Africa
Authors: Jiang Daliang , Zhu Wanyi , Zhang Zhenke
Published: January 2025

Investigating the spatiotemporal coupling and coordinated evolution of economic and ecological resilience in Africa provides theoretical support and scientific foundation for the continent’s green and high-quality development. From the perspective of evolutionary resilience, this study constructs an evaluation model for Africa’s economic resilience and ecological resilience. Using kernel density models, namely the “economic-ecological” resilience zoning method, the coupling coordination degree model, and the Haken model, this study explores the spatiotemporal alignment, coupling, and synergistic evolution of economic and ecological resilience in Africa in a step-by-step manner. The results show that (1) the overall level of economic resilience in Africa is relatively low, with increasing regional disparities. Spatially, economic resilience exhibits a distribution pattern of “low values widely spread, high values concentrated”; the level of ecological resilience, in contrast, shows a more pronounced dispersion, with a spatial distribution of “low values concentrated, high values dispersed”; (2) based on the “economic-ecological” resilience zoning method, most African countries and regions fall into the low economic resilience category, with weak economic resilience and prominent issues related to economic instability. The seven major high economic resilience zones largely overlap with the high economic resilience-high ecological resilience areas, demonstrating good spatiotemporal alignment between economic and ecological resilience; (3) in terms of the spatiotemporal coupling relationship between economic resilience and ecological resilience, most of Africa falls into the disordered category, with an increasingly obvious polarization trend in the coupling coordination degree; (4) from the perspective of the synergistic relationship between economic resilience and ecological resilience, ecological resilience dominates the symbiotic system formed by economic resilience and ecological resilience. The development of ecological resilience and economic resilience is mutually inhibitive, with prominent contradictions between the economy and the environment. Ecological and economic resilience have formed an internal mechanism of positive feedback in the synergistic system. The regional differences in the synergistic value have expanded, while the differences within regions have narrowed, indicating an emerging trend of spatial differentiation.

Published: January 2025

Ecosystem services (ES) evaluation is essential for sustainable urban development. The article presents the results of a study aimed at determining the features of ES inclusion to urban planning and management of urban green spaces in Russia. For this purpose, a series of 30 interviews with experts from several cities of Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Apatity, Rostov-on-Don, etc.) representing various professional areas (public administration, urban planning, landscape engineering, science, public organizations, etc.) was conducted. The results show that ES of urban blue-green infrastructure are not sufficiently reflected in decision-making practices and processes. They are not included in strategic urban planning, as well as in landscape and urban development projects. At the same time, the scientific community has obvious problems in resolving a large block of disagreements related to the lack of a common terminology, typologies, and methods for assessing ES. Experts understand the potential of integrating ES in decision-making and form a request for the development of methodological materials and the implementation of tools and approaches. During the study, a list of proposals on possible ways to include the ES in the practical activities of the professional community and in the management of urban green spaces was formed. The study was supported by the Russian Scientific Foundation (project No. 19-77-30012). The authors express their sincere gratitude and appreciation to the experts who participated in the interviews

Authors: Gomes Sheleidres Camila
Published: January 2025

The production of artisanal cheeses in Brazil is a deep-rooted cultural and historical practice that
preserves regional traditions. In addition to strengthening the geographic identity and producing
territories, the activity increases in the value to dairy products and promotes the appreciation of local production systems.Thus, this study aimed to carry out a literature review on the importance of artisanal cheeses, addressing the challenges related to microbiological safety, standardization and sustainable production in Brazil. The artisanal production of each variety of cheese, such as Minas Artesanal and Canastra, presents differences in physical-chemical composition and production method, resulting in specific sensory characteristics, influenced by regional factors such as milk composition and environmental conditions. Despite its importance, the artisanal cheese show significant challenges, especially, in the microbiological safety and political regulation of the activity. The raw milk use and the lack of adequate hygiene and sanitation practices increase the risk of contamination by microorganisms such as Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus and coliforms, reducing the quality of the final product. Food safety has become a challenge due to the use of raw milk in the production of artisanal cheeses, and the adoption of good manufacturing practices, associated political regulations and initiatives such as the Selo Arte, are essential to promote the quality and commercial viability of these products.

Tarakan Island is a part of North Kalimantan Province. The coastline of Tarakan Island is long + 28 km. Some areas have sandy beaches that slope towards the sea. This area is known as Amal Beach. On the coast In Amal Baru, there has been damage to the coastline caused by abrasion with a level of damage reaching 66,67%, which was heavily damaged and 33,33% was moderately damaged. The rate of change in this coastline is classified as 2-5 m/year.. There is damage in the Amal Baru beach area caused by abrasion. Therefore, protection is needed along the Amal coast in the form of beach safety buildings. However, in planning coastal safety buildings. Sea waves are one of the important parameters that need to be taken into account. Direct collection of ocean wave data has a high level of technical difficulty and expensive operational costs. This can be overcome by conducting wave forecasting, so that you can find out wave characteristics such as height, direction and duration of the wave. In this research, the SPM (Shore Protection Manual) method was used to calculate wave forecasting based on wind data over a 10 year period obtained from ECMWF (European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts). Data from forecasting results using the SPM method obtained a maximum wave height value of 2.10 meters with a period of 7,63 seconds which occurred in 2016. Meanwhile, the predicted wave height in the next 25 years using the Weibull method was 2,34 meters with a period of 7,74 seconds. The high value of breaking waves in the next 25 years is 1,69 meters and occurs at a depth of 4.03 meters with a wave incident angle of 28,90O.

The IIoT allows to have an efficient automation system that monitors specific parts
of a system in real time. This paper implements a prototype of speed control and
monitoring in a motor belonging to an industrial process with PLC, where the
current regulation is related to the data acquisition system and the proposed control
algorithm in an IIoT architecture. Finally, the characterization of the starting signal
is modeled by means of the angular velocity, the disturbances present in the voltage
change and stabilization will be processed using the numerical integration theory
and the Matlab tool, to obtain a polynomial approximation of order n

Technology advancements have significantly impacted the speed and efficiency of the design
process, leading to changes in content production and dissemination on digital platforms.
Consequently, the attention span and relevance of these messages have become ephemeral. This
new scenario involves the graphic designer creating messages for digital media, especially in
virtual communities. Thus, first, we seek to establish a solid and comprehensive definition of
digital ephemera within the context of graphic design. The methodology consists of data analysis
through semi-structured interviews conducted with graphic designers from Tijuana and San
Diego via conferencing platforms. The data collected is then analyzed using the Qualitative
Comparative Analysis (QCA) method. This research aims to describe and analyze the
phenomenon of designing messages with a 60-second lifespan on social media platforms.
Therefore, a systematic approach and categorization of concepts are explored across the
interconnected domains, ensuring a comprehensive definition of digital ephemera.

Students in higher education often experience mental and emotional barriers. While this population is susceptible to mental health issues, university students in particular face social stigmatization of mental health by their peers and concerns about losing face, which are significant barriers to accessing mental health services. This is particularly important for Malaysian students, who espouse Asian cultural values and are more sensitivity to social status and reputation. Therefore, the study aims to examine the mediating role of loss of face on perceived social stigma and help-seeking behavior among Malaysian university students. The research participants are 306 university students aged 18 and above in Malaysian context, and this cross-sectional design study will be enlisted through convenience sampling. The results obtained from multiple linear regression indicated perceived social stigma negatively predicted the help-seeking behavior (β = -0.26, p < .001). Moreover, loss of face also negatively predicted help-seeking behavior (β = -0.36, p < .001). As hypothesized, loss of face was found to have a statistically significant mediating effect (indirect effect = -0.13, p < 0.01) on the relationship between perceived social stigma and help-seeking behavior, accounting for approximately 33% of the total effect. This study contributes new statistical insights to the field of mental health, addressing existing gaps in knowledge and providing valuable reference material for the development of mental health awareness campaigns aimed at improving attitudes towards help-seeking among the public.

Emotion regulation in education has gained significant attention in Asian countries, particularly in Malaysia, where social-emotional learning (SEL) is being integrated into curricula to enhance students' academic success and well-being. However, there are critical challenges of developing culturally adapted SEL programs in Malaysian primary schools, where cultural diversity and resource limitations present significant barriers. This study employs the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) to identify key emotion regulation strategies in educational settings, involving experts in student psychology and mental health. Findings emphasize the importance of culturally adapted SEL programs, comprehensive teacher training, and strategic use of technology, while highlighting challenges such as cultural stigma and resource limitations. The research discusses theoretical models like James Gross's Process Model of Emotion Regulation. Malaysian primary schools are urged to adopt a holistic approach to emotion regulation education, incorporating programs tailored to diverse cultural backgrounds. The study stresses the need for enabling legislation to address inadequate teacher training and resources, while emphasizing active parental involvement and collaboration among stakeholders for successful implementation. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on emotion regulation in Asian educational contexts, providing insights for developing effective, culturally appropriate interventions in Malaysian primary schools.

Student dropout has become a critical issue that has garnered global attention, with profound implications for the social and economic development of a nation in the future. If not effectively addressed, this issue can lead to long-term negative consequences. This study aims to identify key predictor factors such as life purpose, interest in learning, and academic self-efficacy in influencing students' intention to drop out of school. A fully quantitative approach was employed to test the formulated hypotheses. A total of 386 fourth-year secondary school students were selected as the study sample, using cluster and simple random sampling techniques. Four adapted instruments were used, namely the General Self-Efficacy Scale, the Prospective Life Course Questionnaire, the Academic Motivation Scale, and the Intention to Leave Instrument. Data analysis was conducted using IBM Statistics version 29 for descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including independent sample t-tests and multiple regression, to address the research questions. The findings revealed significant differences in dropout intention, purpose in life, academic self-efficacy, and interest in learning based on gender. Additionally, the study found that 22% of the variance in predictor variables significantly contributed to students' intention to drop out. These findings provide valuable insights into the field of educational psychology, particularly in developing more effective intervention strategies to reduce the rate of student dropout in schools.
