description: This concise paper explores the role of learning designers as third-space professionals in higher education, exploring both their self-perception and the perceptions held by other professionals in the sector. Learning designers play a crucial role in learning support, program design, web-based learning, and industry partnerships, being also able to challenge traditional practices and enhance student experiences and outcomes. However, a comprehensive understanding of their roles remains complex and necessitates further exploration. The challenges faced by learning designers include ambiguous role definitions and the delicate balance of meeting diverse stakeholder expectations. Through an autoethnographic approach, members from an ASCILITE Community Mentoring Program group offer insights into the multifaceted contributions of learning designers. Recognizing, working collaboratively with, and appreciating the diverse expertise of learning designers are key factors for universities to effectively address recent societal changes and meet the evolving needs of their students.

description: Abstract: The aim of this research is to investigate various issues related to oil consumption and environmental impacts in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, in relation to population, climate change impacts, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN’s SDGs), and ecological and carbon footprints. The GCC countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) are almost entirely dependent on fossil energy sources (oil and natural gas) domestically, industrially, commercially, economically, and transportation-wise. Although the total population of the GCC countries is around 60 million, making up only 0.76% of the world’s population (8 billion), they do consume 5.15 million barrels per day (bbl/d) of oil, forming nearly 5.8% of the world’s daily consumption, which is around 88.4 million bbl/d as of 2021. Moreover, daily per capita consumption of oil in the GCC countries is about 0.09 barrels, while it is about 0.06 barrels in the USA. These figures indicate that the GCC’s countries combined and per capita, although not industrialized and small in population, consume large quantities of oil, compared to other countries of the world that are industrialized and/or densely populated, such as the USA, India, Japan, Russia, and Germany. The high rates of oil consumption in the GCC countries, associated with the highest per capita ecological and carbon footprints worldwide, have led to negative impacts on the environment, climate, and public health. The results of this work show that some of the GCC countries have the highest per capita ecological and carbon footprints. Thus, the GCC countries should effectively reduce their dependence on fossil energy sources and gradually replace them with renewable energy sources, especially photovoltaic (PV) solar energy. Furthermore, the statistics presented in this article and the outcomes reached uncover that the GCC countries lag behind with regard to various indicators of the UN’s SDGs. This implies the GCC countries are not taking adequate actions to encounter environmental problems, in order to fulfill some of the UN’s SDGs by 2030.

description: Technology plays an important role in service delivery and service management. Social welfare is one of the service sectors that highly rely on the advancement of technologies. The emergence of varied technologies in social welfare helps this sector to manage and monitor service delivery efficiently and effectively. This paper aims to explore the phenomenon of technology inclusion in social welfare through a systematic literature review in search of its advancement in the past two decades using thematic analysis following the PRISMA guidelines. Specifically, it focuses on the introduction of applications (apps), information communication technologies (ICT), blockchain technology, the emergence of virtual reality (VR), and the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI). This paper delves into the motivations behind the adoption of these technologies, their applications, and the solutions achieved. The review concludes with the identification of research and practical opportunities to improve the inclusion of technologies in social welfare to make the sector successful and more beneficial.

description: Chatbot services have become an essential communication tool for interacting with consumers in e-commerce. To understand consumer behavior in the context of chatbot services, we apply the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to analyze continuance intention to use and additional predictors to explain behavioral intention. An analysis of data collected from 300 digital shopping users who had experienced chatbot services revealed that an extended TPB model holds for the continuous use of chatbot services, driven by both interaction and information quality. Accordingly, these findings provide a better understanding of consumer behavior toward chatbot services and valuable insights into digital customer relationship management.

description: Abstract:- Purpose: Recovery Colleges (RCs) have been implemented across England with wide variation in organisational characteristics. The purpose of this study is to describe RCs across England in terms of organisational and student characteristics, fidelity and annual spending, to generate a RC typology based on characteristics and to explore the relationship between characteristics and fidelity. Methods: All RC in England meeting criteria on recovery orientation, coproduction and adult learning were included. Managers completed a survey capturing characteristics, fidelity and budget. Hierarchical cluster analysis was conducted to identify common groupings and generate an RC typology. Results: Participants comprised 63 (72%) of 88 RC in England. Fidelity scores were high (median 11, IQR 9–13). Both NHS and strengths-focussed RCs were associated with higher fidelity. The median annual budget was £200,000 (IQR £127,000–£300,000) per RC. The median cost per student was £518 (IQR £275–£840), cost per course designed was £5,556 (IQR £3,000–£9,416) and per course run was £1,510 (IQR £682–£3,030). The total annual budget across England for RCs is an estimated £17.6 m including £13.4 m from NHS budgets, with 11,000 courses delivered to 45,500 students. Conclusion: Although the majority of RCs had high levels of fidelity, there were sufficiently pronounced differences in other key characteristics to generate a typology of RCs. This typology might prove important for understanding student outcomes and how they are achieved and for commissioning decisions. Staffing and co-producing new courses are key drivers of spending. The estimated budget for RCs was less than 1% of NHS mental health spending.

description: AbstractResearch Summary: This study explains how heterogeneity in firm competitiveness and performance in emerging economies is influenced jointly by the institutional quality of countries and interindustry variations in technological and market dynamism. The analysis of 12,888 firms from 16 emerging economies shows that while the performance advantages of institutional quality are strengthened for firms in technologically dynamic industries, the opposite pattern emerges in high market-dynamism industries. The study advances the institution-based view by explaining the mechanisms through which such effects occur and why two industry-specific boundary conditions (technological and market dynamism) influence differently the relationship between institutional quality and firm performance. Managerial Summary: This study investigates how the performance of firms in emerging economies is influenced by the quality of institutions in each country as well as by the technological and market dynamism in the industry in which each firm operates. To examine these relationships, the study analyzes a sample of 12,888 firms from 16 emerging economies. The results indicate that institutional quality enhances firm performance and that these positive effects are stronger in technologically dynamic industries than in industries that are less technologically dynamic. However, the opposite pattern of results emerges for market dynamism, indicating that the role of institutional quality in enhancing firm performance is weaker in industries that exhibit a high degree of market dynamism than in industries that are less volatile in market demand.

description: Abstract: Although some machine learning (ML) models have successfully developed for ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), they do not provide insights and explicit relations between all input variables and its compressive strength. This paper will address these ambiguities and provide a tool to predict the compressive strength by explainable and interpretable equations and plots. Explicit semi-empirical formulas are derived from a multivariate polynomial regression (Lasso) and automated feature engineering and selection (Autofeat) using a 810 dataset of UHPC with 15 input variables, which are collected from literature. Coefficient of determination R2 = 0.8223 is the same for the first-order degree (linear regression) of both models, however, the Autofeat achieves a better result than Lasso for the third-order degree with R2 = 0.9616 vs. R2 = 0.9503. A comprehensive parametric study is carried out via relative feature importance and partial dependence plots to explain and gain profound insights into the effects of some important input variables on the compressive strength of UHPC. Some details discussions related to these effects with previous studies are also presented. The proposed models not only show better performance with those from reference in terms of R2 , especially for Autofeat model but also have explicit relations of compressive strength with 15 input variables. Hence, they can be used as a reliable tool in mixture design optimization of the UHPC

description: Abstract: Hong Kong citizens’ sense of belonging has gone through a period of fluctuation during the period of rapid socio‐political and legal change since the outbreak of the Anti‐Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement in 2019. This study explored how multiple dimensions of the place attachment of Hong Kong citizens have been shaped by factors associated with these changes. Six socio‐political variables were incorporated into the three dimensions of the person–process–place (PPP) framework. Based on a representative survey of the local population (n = 768), we found that political inclination and identity were significantly associated with the sense of place, with citizens identifying as Chinese and aligning with the pro‐establishment camp showing higher levels of place attachment. Mobility was negatively associated with place attachment, whereas the correlation between attachment and perceptions of the law and legal system was positive. The study has implications for Hong Kong’s current socio‐political and institutional environment and for emigration. It also demonstrates the wider applicability of the PPP framework for identifying and clarifying the various predictors of different dimensions of place attachment.

description: The Dzungar Basin of northern Xinjiang has previously been considered a marginal environment with little evidence for the development of prehistoric agriculture. Recent archaeobotanical studies have indicated the region as being a route for the transmission of domesticated plants, technologies and ideas between East and West Eurasia during prehistory, as early as 5000 BP. These interactions are still poorly understood and most evidence for early plant food production and consumption in the region comes from limited mortuary contexts. In this study we present plant macrofossil analysis from the settlement site of Luanzagangzi on the southern side of the Dzungar Basin. From ca. 3130 BP an agricultural package of east and west Asian cereals and chaff is present, comprising wheat, barley, foxtail millet, broomcorn millet, and significantly a single grain of japonica type rice. AMS dating indicates this is the oldest directly dated rice in Xinjiang and the broader region, ranging 3069–2881 cal. BP. Cereal morphometrics and material culture from the site further indicate a connection with the Gansu region to the east. The spread of agriculture into the site environment may be linked to the onset of wetter conditions relating to strengthened westerly systems across arid Central Asia in the Late-Holocene. A declining abundance of West Asian cultivars over the period of the site’s occupation possibly reflect a shift away from intensive agriculture to low-level management of millets.

description: As an epoch-making event, Covid re-set understandings of teacher professionalism, raising the question what it might now mean to be a ‘professional teacher’. This paper draws on data from interviews conducted in 2021 with eight academics employed in Australian teacher education programs as part of a wider study, Critical Times: Producing the Global Graduate in a Pandemic. It uses ‘big D’ Discourse analysis to explore complex constructions of the ‘global teacher graduate’ in academics’ accounts of producing such graduates during a pandemic. It focuses on an expansive Discourse of professional teacher that participants invoked to construct their graduates as autonomous professionals with a shared service ethos and distinctive disciplinary knowledges. Based on retrospective, occupationally defined accounts of ‘teacher’ and professionalism, this Discourse appears to have a generational aspect. Despite academics’ hopes, it may represent experiences of saying, doing and being a ‘professional teacher’ no longer available in the present epoch.

description: Person-centred planning is often seen as a panacea, but without the addition of thoughtful processes and person-centred actions, it too often becomes a meaningless paper exercise. Planning has many purposes: from determining funding and setting broad life goals to creating detailed blueprints for the delivery of a specific type of support. Whatever its purpose, planning with people with disabilities requires collaboration, time, skilled facilitation and knowledge about the person and their support networks. This chapter discusses the nature of support planning, outlines its core principles and processes and considers these in the context of service systems and disability support organisations.

description: This chapter considers the diversity of people with disabilities, highlighting their common experiences of significant social disadvantage on all social indicators. It introduces different theoretical models for understanding disability, comparing and contrasting the orientation of each and implications for providing support services for people with disabilities. It reviews the relative merits of each approach for informing practice that furthers quality of life and highlights the drawbacks of reliance on any one model. It provides an overview of the rights-based aims of contemporary disability policy and the broad contours of individualised funding models such as the NDIS, the social demographics of people with disability and the eight domains of quality of life which form the framework for the book.It proposes the need for Both/And thinking in disability practice and the dangers of using As If as a device for obscuring difference.

description: This whitepaper introduces StormCoin (COIN), the first blockchain economic system designed to function as a living organism. Built upon the concept of Entropy-Driven Proof of Flow (EPoF), StormCoin rewards circulation over accumulation, reimagining economic activity as a dynamic entropy stream rather than a static ledger. Each wallet acts as a vein in a global value network, strengthened through participation and weakened by inactivity. The model integrates biological metaphors (brain, veins, heart) and meteorological dynamics (StormCycles, turbulence defense) to create a decentralized economy that self-heals, adapts, and renews. Unlike conventional cryptocurrencies that rely on static supply and hoarding incentives, StormCoin strengthens as it moves — resisting corruption, manipulation, and stagnation through engineered entropy. This whitepaper serves as the formal introduction of the StormCoin framework and an intellectual claim to its original design, authored by Alec Chad Emerson in 2025.

description: Many people with intellectual disabilities remain excluded from communities and socially isolated despite decades of policies aiming at furthering their participation. The meaning of community participation is often vague, and outcomes expected from support service poorly defined. Evidence shows that carefully designed programs and skilled practice can support individuals with intellectual disabilities to be actively engaged in communities of their choice. This chapter reviews approaches to supporting community participation. It provides exemplars of different program designs, support worker skills and organisational features necessary to provide quality and individually tailored support for participation by people with intellectual disabilities. Finally, the chapter considers the types of community development strategies that create the foundations for social inclusion.

description: Many people with intellectual disabilities live in poor-quality supported accommodation services where they spend a significant part of their day disengaged—doing nothing. It is clear that it is the quality of staff support rather than the number of staff that makes the difference and that all people with intellectual disabilities can be engaged for much of their day. Engagement in meaningful activities and social interactions is a fundamental prerequisite to a good quality of life. When staff consistently use a practice known as Active Support, people with intellectual disabilities have higher levels of engagement and a better quality of life. This chapter lays out the essential elements of Active Support and the frontline managerial practices and organisational features necessary to embed it in services. Finally, it considers the connections between Active Support and other person-centred practices, such as support planning, positive behaviour support, and supported decision making.

description: Challenging behaviours are relatively common for adults with intellectual disabilities. The presence of these behaviours can cause harm to the person and others, negatively impacting quality of life. Evidence demonstrates that for some people with intellectual disabilities, receiving high-quality services is sufficient to reduce or prevent challenging behaviours. For others, specialist intervention may be required. This chapter considers the different types and reasons for challenging behaviour and the importance of quality service delivery. Examples are provided throughout to demonstrate the discussed evidence-informed principles in practice. Behavioural and psychodynamic interventions are considered for people with challenging behaviours who require specialist interventions. The chapter closes with a framework of the practices that must be in place to ensure the quality of life of adults with intellectual disabilities and challenging behaviours in the context of accommodation supports.

description: With the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs), it is crucial to have benchmarks which can evaluate the ability of LLMs on different domains. One common use of LLMs is performing tasks on scientific topics, such as writing algorithms, querying databases
or giving mathematical proofs. Inspired by the way university students are evaluated on such tasks, in this paper, we propose SciEx - a bench-
mark consisting of university computer science exam questions, to evaluate LLMs’ ability on solving scientific tasks. SciEx is (1) multilin-
gual, containing both English and German exams, and (2) multi-modal, containing questions that involve images, and (3) contains various types of freeform questions with different difficulty levels, due to the nature of university exams. We evaluate the performance of various state-of-the-art LLMs on our new benchmark. Since SciEx questions are freeform, it is not straightforward to evaluate LLM performance. Therefore, we provide human expert grading of the LLM outputs on SciEx. We show that the free-form exams in SciEx remain challenging for the current LLMs, where the best LLM only achieves 59.4% exam grade on average. We also provide detailed comparisons between LLM performance and student perfor-
mance on SciEx. To enable future evaluation of new LLMs, we propose using LLM-as-a-judge to grade the LLM answers on SciEx. Our
experiments show that, although they do not perform perfectly on solving the exams, LLMs are decent as graders, achieving 0.948 Pearson
correlation with expert grading.

description: Ideas about capacity and incapacity have dominated thinking about participation in decision making by people with intellectual disabilities. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities provoked interest in the concept of supported decision making and the rights of all people with disabilities to be involved in making decisions about their own lives. Decisions vary in many ways—scope, individual significance or time frame—as does the type of support needed to participate in making them. This chapter reviews the contested nature of supported decision making and proposes a principled approach that puts the will and preferences of the person with disability at the centre of all decisions and includes all people with disabilities irrespective of whether they can express their preferences or rely on others to interpret them. It alerts service providers to the varied landscapes of decisions making and explains an evidence based practice framework for supporting decision making that is applicable across all types of decisions and contexts.

description: Culture refers to shared beliefs, values, basic assumptions, norms, and patterns of behaviour that influence how staff think, feel, and act. It exists at multiple levels within organisations (e.g., whole of organisation, senior managers, frontline service) and it enables and constrains what staff do. Most research on culture in disability organisations has occurred at the service level. Culture can account for poor practice and abuse of people with intellectual disabilities living in supported accommodation services. Conversely, it can contribute to good quality support and quality of life outcomes. This chapter explains what is culture, how it influences staff behaviour, the characteristics of culture in good and poor quality services, and how to change culture.

description: The processes of building quality and safeguarding are important in ensuring that people who use disability services have high-quality support that meets their needs and helps them achieve their goals. High-quality support and services are key safeguards against abuse and neglect. What constitutes good quality varies by each individual, stakeholder group, and type of service. However, compliance with regulatory obligations is the minimum that disability service providers and workers must achieve. This chapter attempts to demystify what workers and providers should do to deliver high-quality and safe supports, while still acknowledging the complexity involved. It argues that strategies for achieving high-quality and safe supports should be integrated into standard ways of working, rather than approached as a box-ticking exercise disconnected from day-to-day practice. It explains the key terms and core concepts, the levels for action, and the reactive and proactive strategies which can be implemented by managers.
