Published: February 2025

The general aim of this mixed study is to analyze the use of the virtual wall called Padlet in the teaching-learning process on the rock cycle through Data Science (linear regression and decision tree algorithms). The teacher of the Geography course incorporated Padlet outside the classroom to facilitate the learning and promote the exchange of the ideas in the face-to-face sessions under Flipped Classroom. The participants are 114 students from a public high school located in Mexico City. The results of the linear regression algorithm indicate that the incorporation of Padlet positively impacted the review of educational digital resources and activities on the rock cycle. The decision tree algorithm built two models considering the characteristics of the students. This mixed research recommends the use of Padlet because this tool offers flexibility of time and space. In conclusion, virtual walls are changing the way to organize the teaching-learning process about Geography.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration in Rural Philippine Higher Education
Authors: Villarino Resti Tito
Published: February 2025

AI rapidly reshapes learning landscapes from highly industrialized countries to those that are still in development, such as the Philippines. However, limited studies have been conducted on how such AI tools are adopted and perceived by college students within a non-urban higher education context. This study fills the gap by investigating the adoption, perceptions, and ethical implications of AI tools among rural Philippine college students through a sequential explanatory mixed-method cross-section survey approach, drawing its base from 451 students in a rural state college in Cebu, Philippines, from May to June 2024. IBM SPSS version 26.0 was used to conduct the statistical analyses, while theme analyses were done using MAXQDA version 2020. Among the respondents, all had used AI tools, while the greater proportion of these students (78.54%) used ChatGPT. Further, the students strongly believed that AI was easy to use (M = 5.13; SD = ±1.58) and helpful in their learning (M = 5.17; SD = ±1.53). On the contrary, students were concerned about incorrect or biased information (M=5.35, SD=±1.40), impact on critical thinking (M=5.04, SD=±1.77), and potential for cheating (M=5.39, SD=±1.50) while utilizing these AI tools. Also, only 17.29% of the students knew its institutional policies regarding the use of AI. This study indicates the essentiality of creating clear institutional guidelines for the use of AI, devising programs on AI literacy, and revisiting the assumption about the digital divide in rural higher education institutions. These findings also have policy implications in view of curriculum development and ethics for integrating AI into higher education contexts and carve out a need for educational strategies that make use of the benefits offered through AI while actively cultivating students' critical thinking skills and academic integrity.

Published: February 2025

Mucoadhesive drug delivery systems interact with the mucus layer covering the mucosal epithelial surface, and mucin molecules and increase the residence time of the dosage form at the site of absorption. Over the past few decades, mucosal drug delivery has received a great deal of attention. Mucoadhesive dosage forms may be designed to enable prolonged retention at the site of application, providing a controlled rate of drug release for improved therapeutic activity. The mucoadhesive ability of a dosage form is dependent upon a variety of factors, including the nature of the mucosal tissue and the physicochemical properties of the polymeric formulation. This review covers the areas of mechanisms and theories of mucoadhesion, factors influencing the mucoadhesive materials, mucoadhesive polymers, and also various mucoadhesive dosage forms.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze the genetic diversity and differences among wild populations of Pinctada maxima, providing a foundational reference for the enhancement and optimization of its germplasm. In this study, we developed SSR primers based on simplified genome sequencing and screened 10 pairs using fluorescent PCR amplification to assess the genetic diversity of wild populations of P. maxima from Danzhou (DZ), Nansha (NS), and Xuwen (XW), China. Additionally, we investigated the genetic richness and the degree of differentiation among the populations. The results indicated that the number of alleles (Na) detected by the 10 SSR primer pairs ranged from 8 to 17 across the three P. maxima populations, with a total of 130 alleles. The polymorphic information content (PIC) varied from 0.769 to 0.865, with an average of 0.8531. All ten pairs of SSR primers exhibited high levels of polymorphism. The observed heterozygosity (Ho) among the three P. maxima populations ranged from 0.1333 to 1.000, with an average of 0.7884. The expected heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.6333 to 0.8755, with an average of 0.7815. The mean values of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium indices (F) ranged from -0.032 to 0.058, indicating that all populations were approximately in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, with the F values for DZ and XW populations being negative, suggesting a heterozygote deficit. The mean Fst value for the three P. maxima populations was 0.098, and molecular ANOVA revealed that 10% of the genetic differentiation occurred between populations, while 90% arose from individual variation. The average gene flow (Nm) between populations was 2.804, suggesting that genetic drift did not dominate the changes in population genetic structure. Among the three populations, the genetic distance between the DZ and XW populations was the smallest (0.3352), while the NS and DZ populations exhibited the greatest genetic distance (0.6462). UPGMA clustering analysis based on genetic distances revealed that the three P. maxima populations could be divided into two major groups, with the DZ and XW populations clustering independently into one group. Significant genetic differentiation and high genetic diversity were observed among the three P. maxima populations, although heterozygous deletions were present. Therefore, during the breeding process of P. maxima, the genetic diversity of the offspring can be enhanced by introducing these three populations, each with distinct genetic backgrounds from different marine regions and distant phylogenetic affinities, as parent stock.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) play an important role in the pathophysiology of chronic glaucoma, as they are involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling in the trabecular meshwork (TM), affecting its ability to efficiently regulate intraocular pressure (IOP). Ensuring the balance between MMPs and TIMPs helps to maintain homeostasis in ocular tissues, which is essential to avoid glaucomatous lesions. Elevated levels of MMPs and increased degradation of the ECM, ultimately affecting aqueous humor outflow and increasing IOP, characterize glaucoma. In the current literature review, the impact and interactions of MMPs and TIMPs in chronic glaucoma have been emphasized, with multiple but still unelucidated roles in the mentioned pathology including their clinical implications, future research directions, and therapeutic approaches. Research to date indicates that the expression of TIMPs is altered in patients with chronic glaucoma, suggesting a compensatory response to increased MMPs activity. Certain drugs can influence the expression levels of MMPs and TIMPs, therefore therapeutic strategies can be developed to restore the balance between tissue enzymes and their inhibitors. Therefore, understanding the relationship between MMPs and TIMPs is a key factor in the pathogenesis of chronic glaucoma. Understanding the interplay between the two provides interesting insights into ECM remodeling in ocular tissues, highlighting the potential of targeted therapies to restore the balance between proteolytic enzymes and their inhibitors.

The accrued benefits of crude oil production in Nigeria does not thrive without its destructive effects on the entire ecosystem of Niger Delta, and particularly in Akwa Ibom State. Hence, this study assessed the attitudes and coping strategies of cassava farmers toward oil spillage in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. A multi-stage random sampling technique was adopted in selection of 240 registered farmers as respondents Primary data was obtained through interview scheduled and questionnaire administration. Data collected were analysed and hypothesis tested using descriptive statistics and Z- test respectively. The majority of the respondents adopted backyard farming (95.83). The result also showed that some respondents also adopted greenhouse farming and off – farm activities or businesses (72.50% and 53.33%) respectively. The result of the respondents on the attitudes of cassava farmers toward coping strategies showed that respondents strongly agreed that backyard farming save cost and readily accessible with ( mean score = 4. 41). The respondents further agreed to the fact that mixed cropping increases the output of many arable crops per season (mean score = 4.03). The Z- test calculated of (186.46 and 77.37 with Z-value of 2.39) respectively showed a significant difference in the output of cassava produced in the study area with non- oil spilled communities recorded higher output. Based on the above findings, the study recommends that: Cassava farmers are to engage in multiple cropping, early maturing crops, green house and intensive farming to supplement the output of cassava. Other farming systems such as sack crop production, intensive greenhouse farming, backyard farming and livestock production should be encouraged.

Authors:   Department of Office and Information Management, Faculty of Administration and Management, Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ufuoma JAKPA, Grace
Published: February 2025

This study evaluated the relationship between workplace hazards and performance of oil and gas companies’ performance by envisaging the role office and information management plays in decreasing workplace hazards in Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Abuja. To do this, a survey was given to Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation employees to learn about their perspectives on the workplace hazards associated with field employment. Descriptive (percentages, frequency count, mean and standard deviation) and inferential (simple regression) statistical techniques were used to evaluate the data from the field survey, which involved 45 respondents who worked for the company. The results showed that employees' job performance was negatively impacted by adequate awareness, ignorance, and the use of technology in preventing occupational health hazards. This could be explained by the gaps in innovative activities, information role and service delivery models that must be created to reduce the workplace hazards faced by oil field workers. Based on the results, it was suggested that in order to enhance employee job performance, workplace hazards and safety management systems should be an essential component of oil and gas companies' production processes rather than being tampered with by management and employees. Also, office and information management practices in the oil and gas industry should be given priority.

Banten Province has implemented the amendment to Law No. 23/2014 regarding the transfer of authority in the education sector since 2017. This regulation aims to improve the quality of education services and ensure balanced attention at local and central levels. A survey was conducted to assess high school students’ satisfaction with education services and identify areas for improvement. The qualitative survey employed random sampling to select schools, with data collected using a satisfaction questionnaire. Descriptive statistical analysis provided insights into satisfaction levels. At the same time, inferential statistics examined relationships between five independent variables (facilities, psychosocial support, curriculum, self-development, and assessment) and the dependent variable (learning quality). Results showed satisfaction percentages: learning quality (79.13%), facilities (79.35%), psychosocial support (78.28%), self-development (80.06%), curriculum (78.52%), and assessment process (81.38%). Hypothesis testing revealed a significant simultaneous effect of all independent variables on learning quality (sig. = 0.000 < 0.05). Facilities, self-development, and assessment significantly impacted learning quality individually. Overall, students responded satisfactorily to education services, though improvements are necessary to enhance specific aspects. These findings highlight the need for targeted strategies to elevate education quality and continuously achieve optimal student outcomes.
Price Premium Acceptance for Organic Food: A Behavioral Economics Analysis of Consumer Decision-Making in Vietnam's Emerging Market
Authors:   Vinschool The Harmony Secondary and High school, BUI Trong Nghia
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the complex relationships between perceived value and price premium acceptance in organic food consumption, with particular focus on the mediating role of trust in organic certification and the moderating effect of cultural value orientation. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from organic food consumers through a structured questionnaire, and structural equation modeling was employed to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings reveal that trust in organic certification partially mediates the relationship between perceived value and price premium acceptance, while maintaining a significant direct effect. Cultural value orientation significantly moderates the relationship between perceived value and trust in organic certification, with stronger effects observed in collectivistic cultural contexts. The results demonstrate that consumers with higher levels of collectivistic orientation show a more pronounced relationship between perceived value and trust in certification systems. This research contributes to the literature by providing a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms through which perceived value influences price premium acceptance in organic food markets, particularly highlighting the crucial role of certification trust and cultural values. The findings offer valuable insights for practitioners in developing culturally adapted marketing strategies and emphasize the importance of building trust in certification systems. For policymakers, the results underscore the significance of maintaining robust certification systems while considering cultural contexts in promoting sustainable consumption behavior.

Authors: Pedrosa Botelho Patrícia , Martins de Souza Ana Cláudia , De Castro Alves Lara
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo tem por objetivo demonstrar como foi desenvolvido um aplicativo para alunos do 6º ao 9º ano de escolas públicas em relação ao ensino-aprendizagem de Língua Portuguesa. O aplicativo traz em seu bojo atividades autorais em consonância com as prerrogativas da BNCC e dos PCNs com o intento de trazer à baila uma ferramenta pedagógica para professores e alunos de Língua Portuguesa. O software integra a visão do aluno e a do professor para que cada um possa ter uma interface adequada às finalidades almejadas, fazendo uso de técnicas de gamificação e exercícios com gêneros variados para ampliar o conhecimento das habilidades e competências de língua materna. Para tanto, partimos dos pressupostos teóricos de Geraldi (1999), Kleiman (1992), Travaglia (2002), Kenski (2007), Marcuschi (2006), Koch (2002) e Ribeiro (2014) para subsidiar o pensamento de que a aprendizagem não deve se restringir ao ambiente da sala de aula e aos livros didáticos, mas também ao ensino através da tecnologia.

No ano de 2024, a Lei 10.639/03 que torna obrigatório o ensino da história e cultura africana e afro-brasileira completa 21 anos, e a Lei 11.645/08, incluindo também a obrigatoriedade do ensino da história e cultura indígena, completa 14 anos desde que foi sancionada. Sabe-se das dificuldades do seu cumprimento nas escolas, revelando problemas estruturais das Secretarias Municipais de Educação, da formação dos professores e das professoras e, ainda, das questões ligadas ao fundamentalismo religioso pentecostal. Este artigo tem como objetivo historicizar um programa de efetivação dessas leis no município de Diadema, Diadema de Dandara e Piatã, realizando apontamentos e reflexões referentes à sua estrutura respaldados em referenciais teóricos que dialogam com a perspectiva decolonial e realizam a denúncia da colonialidade nos processos educativos. Com resultados, verificou-se a possibilidade da construção de um currículo decolonial, e o ensino de outros saberes juntamente com as crianças, pois apesar dos problemas inerentes a qualquer programa, evidencia-se o compromisso político-pedagógico dos professores e professoras atuantes nele, assim como o impacto na realidade da comunidade escolar, na implementação de uma educação antirracista e no empoderamento de meninos e meninas acerca de suas identidades.
Performances do refúgio em A Embaixada Americana, de Chimamanda Adichie, e By the Sea, de Abdulrazak Gurnah
Authors: Velasco Suzana
Published: February 2025

Este artigo examina como narrativas ficcionais retratam a relação de refugiados com a performance de autenticidade exigida em seu processo legal. O texto parte da noção de “história de refúgio” (asylum story), que, segundo Woolley (2017), é uma forma ordenada e coerente de narrar a experiência de refugiado, performada de forma crível perante o Estado. As duas obras analisadas narram um encontro entre um solicitante de refúgio e um representante do Estado: numa embaixada, no conto A Embaixada Americana, de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, e num aeroporto, no romance By the Sea, de Abdulrazak Gurnah. Em ambas as obras, a ficção possibilita expandir as possibilidades narrativas, explicitando como as experiências de refugiados excedem o que cabe numa entrevista de fronteira. No entanto, há uma diferença na atitude de cada protagonista. No conto, a narradora se recusa a calcular como deve se portar na entrevista, abdicando da proteção dos Estados Unidos. Já no romance, o personagem faz o oposto: mente para se encaixar no enredo que é esperado dele e consegue entrar no Reino Unido aproveitando-se da própria lógica estatal, segundo a qual o refugiado é uma “figura de falta” (NGUYEN, 2019). Conclui-se que a resistência não se dá necessariamente pela recusa à política da cidadania. Ela também pode significar assumir taticamente a performance exigida pela “história de refúgio”.

A escrita de textos na interação social revela muito mais do que simplesmente transmitir uma mensagem ou passar informações. Ela é marcada pelas vivências e experiências de vida, refletidas nas escolhas lexicais, na organização textual e nos estilos discursivos adotados. Partindo dessa pressuposição, este trabalho objetiva analisar a seção de agradecimentos em Trabalhos de Conclusão de Curso (TCC) à luz do Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (ISD). Este estudo visa debater a estrutura e funcionalidade da seção de agradecimentos, discutindo identidades, crenças e valores observados nos textos de alunos do Plano Nacional de Formação de Professores (PARFOR). Para tal, adota-se uma abordagem qualitativa-interpretativista, fundamentada no aporte teórico do ISD, utilizando-se uma das propostas do quadro de análise de texto elaboradas por Bronckart (1999, 2006, 2019), a partir dos estudos sobre gêneros textuais/discursivos na perspectiva de Bakhtin (2003), e de estudos de texto de Dolz e Schneuwly (2014). As análises apresentadas delineiam o processo de construção dos TCCs mostrando como as relações sociais e os percursos formativos de cada indivíduo são significativos na construção de identidades múltiplas e plurais.
BESTIARY IN THE POETRY OF GENRIKH SAPGIR
Authors: ARTEMOVA SVETLANA YU. , ALLAKHVERDIEVA SAMAIA A.
Published: February 2025

The article draws attention to the bestiary as a genre of medieval literature, which is a collection of descriptions of animals, real or fictional, usually having folklore or mythological roots. Of particular interest is the author’s bestiary, which provides no parallels to the existing mythological system. One of the examples of author’s bestiary is the poetry of G.V. Sapgir, in which bestiary images are frequent and marked in the titles and are quite independent from folklore and mythological semiotic codes. In this case we can speak of author’s bestiary both at the level of naming and description. In the cycle “Meeting” there are several such author’s bestiary images, and their names are included in the titles of the poems. In Sapgir’s poem “Zhurkha”, sound play creates the atmosphere of an “other”world inhabited by bestiaries (or a di erent view of the familiar world). The world of Zhurkha becomes a point of reference for a non-human view of the world. Such a declaration of an outside view can be compared “with the point of view of a crow” or “with the point of view of a mosquito” in the poetry of Joseph Brodsky. But Sapgir goes further, describing the exotic beast, its insect-like nature and its hostility to man. The hero looks at himself with the gaze of an extremely alien “stranger”. When creating a bestiary image, the poet actively uses the technique of “half-word poetics”. In this case “half-words” can be considered as a kind of occasional words, which are used to describe the bestiary. Here it is impossible to draw a line between the original non-existent world and the subject’s original view of the existing world. However, wordplay is not the only reason why Sapgir’s bestiary is original. Children’s literature, to which Sapgir turns, provided the author with a wide field for experimentation, as well as an unlimited opportunity to fantasise. Strictly speaking, on the example of Sapgir’s poems, the division of “children’s” and “adult” poems is impossible, and even irrelevant. Thus, in the cycle “Smeyanets” the same principle of naming and describing non-existent living beings is realised. As a result of this work, it becomes obvious that Henrik Sapgir’s bestiary images are not anthropomorphic, lack a stable reference to literature and culture, and represent the author’s bestiary, generally characteristic of the poetry of the late twentieth century.
Securing IoT Devices: A Novel Approach Using Blockchain and Quantum Cryptography
Authors: Adeoye Seun
Published: February 2025

Rapid growth in IoT devices creates major security difficulties because they present potential weakening of systems to cyberattacks and open data breaches in addition to unauthorized system access. Traditional security methods relying on centralized authentication together with classical cryptographic techniques prove inadequate because they have single points of failure and exist under the threat of quantum computing advancement. A new system integrates blockchain technology and quantum cryptography according to this paper to resolve security issues. Data security through blockchain systems gives access to decentralized trust features together with tamper-proof records and ensures data integrity while quantum cryptographic methods especially Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) enable unconditional cryptographic key transfers and communications. A proposed security framework protects IoT networks through the integration of blockchain's unalterable system and QKD's quantum-resistant capabilities which create a strong defence system against classical and quantum-based threats. The approach includes three primary achievements: a system design that scales and performs security analyses together with performance tests that prove practicality. The presented research enables the development of next-generation IoT security measures suited for modern quantum technology advancements.
A Neo-Classical Economic Theory: Leveraging Underground Economy
Authors: Saniel Demetria May T. , Gue Isa Pab Geen P. , Salvo Catherine C.
Published: February 2025

Increasing underground economies, an emerging disruptive behaviour in the economy, employment, and human development, reaches more than $10 trillion, and close to 2 billion people currently employed. Traditionally, the legal economy is the formal economy, the White Market; the illegal economy is the underground economy, the Black Market. Over time, the global phenomenon evolved with the illegal, unreported, unrecorded and the informal economies. A colour spectrum too developed, Black, Gray, Red, Pink and White Markets. On the exponential growth of 12-52% in ASEAN, GFI identify Myanmar and Thailand as the largest. Nearly $100 billion were funnelled illegally through Myanmar with unregulated financial inflows close to $10 billion. Bloomberg Business ranks Thailand 7th biggest in the world and 2nd largest among ASEAN as per share of the country’s GDP’s illicit revenue. Inferring that the robust tourism industry and is the street food capital of the world resulted in the prevalent street businesses and “darker” economic activities. Economic-political-legal dynamics serve as dissatisfiers perpetuating shadow economies. As the formal global economy proposes extreme sanctions and closure, tremendous loss of the underground employment collapses the formal economy. Economic outcomes of the shadow businesses serve a critical purpose of keeping the formal economy afloat.

Published: February 2025

Since the converging of innovations, technological advancement allows for the seamless integration of data, audio, and video communication. Today’s speedier communication technology makes real-time communication and collaboration sessions possible. However, in the public sector, utilization is not as intended, which increases the danger of violating laws and causing compliance, data privacy, and security problems. A quantitative approach is used throughout this research to assess the acceptance of unified communication and collaboration (UC&C) solutions among Malaysian government organizations, their existing condition, challenges, and space for their growth. This study utilized the well-established Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. The questionnaire was distributed online to Malaysian federal and state government ministries, agencies, and lecturers of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was used to evaluate the figures, which were gathered from 160 participants, applying the IBM SPSS Amos edition 26 program. The studies found that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating condition, and trust are important elements influencing UC&C service acceptance by others. The results will serve as a trustworthy guide to enhance the Change Management strategy, which may be disseminated to a government agency responsible for the national implementation of communication and collaboration within the Malaysian government, as well as potentially to various government organizations worldwide.
Learning Ecosystem: Designing An Inclusive Space to Enhance the Higher Education Process
Authors: Prado Ortega Mauricio Xavier , Chamba Ojeda Silvia , Centeno Sandoval Máxima , Rueda Rodríguez Luis Armando , Chamba Gómez Franklin
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the integration of inclusive learning spaces in educational ecosystems, inspired by architect Rosan Bosch, to enhance entrepreneurship and inclusion in higher education. The concept of “ecosystem” is crucial in fostering environments where students, including those with disabilities, can thrive. Using the HomeByMe application, a design is proposed for implementing these spaces in educational institutions. Literature emphasizes the importance of involving diverse stakeholders and using ICT management to promote creativity, cooperation, and effective communication. In Ecuador, inclusion in higher education is a priority, driven by global and national organizations advocating for diversity. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing participant observation and interviews to explore learning ecologies and inclusion. Results demonstrate that learning ecosystems foster entrepreneurial skills such as problem-solving and critical thinking. The study recommends that higher education institutions integrate social dimensions into their policies, use technology for personalized learning, and encourage collaboration among diverse student groups. These efforts aim to create equitable educational opportunities, addressing socio-economic and cultural barriers while promoting an entrepreneurial mindset through interactive and challenging content.

Perineuronal oligodendroglia: functional specialisation or serendipitous location?
Authors: Butt Arthur , Stevens Rachel , Hunter Ian , Gill Amy , Hookings Tegan , Willis Adam
Published: February 2025

Oligodendrocytes are specialised to form axonal myelin sheaths in the central nervous system (CNS), which is essential for rapid neuronal communication. The adult brain also contains oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPC) that are responsible for replacing myelinating oligodendrocytes in pathology or through natural ‘wear and tear’, as well enabling myelin plasticity that is important for learning. In grey matter, myelinating oligodendrocytes and OPC are often situated closely apposed to neuronal perikarya and are termed perineuronal oligodendroglia, which otherwise appear morphologically and functionally indistinct from other myelinating oligodendrocytes and OPC. There is also evidence of a subset of non-myelinating perineuronal oligodendroglial cells that are morphologically simple and phenotypically distinct from myelinating oligodendrocytes and OPC. The functional significance of perineuronal oligodendroglia is unknown but like their parenchymal counterparts, they have myelinating functions, as well as roles in neuronal protection, metabolism and homeostasis. In this respect, it is significant that changes in perineuronal oligodendroglia are implicated in neuropathology and aging, including multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia.
