Could Long-Term COVID-X Or Autoimmune Disorders Be

Triggered Through The Mechanical Spreading Of COVID-X -
Virus Invades Bacteria -Self-Inclusion-? It Will Be?

Prof. Dr. ANTONIO JOSE BALLONI *

University of Campinas - UNICAMP, Institute of Economics/NEIT / Brazil

This paper is exclusively based on the author's acquired experiences. Its main proposal concerns the possibility that a
bacteria may have a couple of units of the coronavirus-X existing inside it. The reasoning is primarily physical, where
several coronavirus-X units may fit inside a bacterial body. In such a situation, there is the possibility that units of
coronavirus-x can be released into the human body, restarting the virus contamination -long-term [Link]
following reasoning seems logical: The current COVID-X is about three times larger than its predecessor in the COVID
family (item 5), and perhaps this is one of the reasons why it remains active for so long on surfaces (item 4),
increasing its lethality as a function of time. This CORONA-X may live inside a human -or even not human- bacteria.
AFTER or even BEFORE this living being's health decreases, this virus -hidden inside the bacteria- may restart the
recontamination process! Yet, if the bacteria dies for any reason -antibiotic use- this dying bacteria favor the release of
the CORONA-X to its environment -the human body or [Link], although the previous COVID was much
more lethal, it had a shorter lifespan... it seems COVID-X has its intelligence and is looking for new ways to stay alive by
self-protecting -shielding/hiding inside a bacteria…-In short, if you want to make a difference, try to live to the
maximum aim: improving – boosting - your immune system. Finally, we do not have any evidence or plausibility that
bacteria may harbor coronavirus-X units; however, no scientific research proves the contrary! So, this is a proposal for
new scientific studies aiming at the corroboration of the proposal presented in the text.

Keywords: Covid-X, Physical Reasoning, Recontamination, Lethality, Living Beings, Antibiotic, Environment, LifeSpam,

Goodness Of Fit Testing Techniques For Degradation

Experiments

Assist. Prof. Dr. Lochana Palayangoda *

University of Nebraska Omaha / United States of America (USA)

Highly reliable products have a long life, yet they are subjected to degradation. The degradation data are used to
estimate the failure time of those products. Parametric stochastic processes such as gamma, inverse-Gaussian (IG),
and Wiener processes are generally used to model and evaluate the failure time distribution of degradation data. The
goodness of fit (GOF) testing can be used to identify which stochastic process is most statistically appropriate for the
degradation data model. However, suppose the degradation data are measured with unequal time intervals; in that
case, the data will become non-identical, and therefore, the traditional GOF testing procedures such as
Kolmogorov–Smirnov test or Cramér–von Mises test or Anderson–Darling test cannot be applied to test the underlying
stochastic process. This study proposes a novel GOF testing procedure using empirical saddlepoint approximation to
obtain the underlying degradation process of the degradation experiments. Monte Carlo simulation studies are carried
out to identify the Type-I error probability and statistical power of the proposed statistical testing procedures.
Furthermore, real-life data analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

The Wayans Bros.’s “Unspoken Token” Episode As

Televisual Memorial Commemorating Good Times

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Angela Nelson *

Bowling Green State University / United States of America (USA)

Contemporary televisual descendants memorialize the legacy of Good Times (CBS, 1974-1979), an American situation
comedy that focused on the Black working-class Evans family. One of these descendants is the sitcom-styled mashup
segment that combined characters, iconography, and plot problems from Good Times, embedded within a
contemporary sitcom episode such as in The Wayans Bros.’s “Unspoken Token” that aired on October 15, 1997, on the
WB network. Nostalgic for the wisdom contained in Good Times, the mashup segment within the “Unspoken Token”
episode distilled major themes from the series including struggle, resilience, resignation, strength, and familial
togetherness—themes today viewed with both youthful fondness and mature contempt as shown in the responses to
the segment on YouTube. In this paper, I will introduce Good Times, summarize “Unspoken Token,” and interpret the
cultural significance of the mashup segment as a televisual memorial. Specifically, I will perform a close reading of
“Unspoken Token” including an analysis of the mashup segment’s characters, iconography, and plot problems followed
by the application of theories from critical geographers concerning the role of memorials in culture. Although Good
Times left the television landscape with less critical and popular praise than when it entered it, The Wayans Bros
through “Unspoken Token” reaffirmed its groundbreaking role and place in American televisual culture.

The Best Medicine Depends On Communications:

Communication As A Key Component Of Trauma-Informed
Practices

Lecturer Kelli Ling, EdD Candidate

Simmons University / United States of America (USA)
Teacher Diego Mateo, MEd *
North Central College / United States of America (USA)

This qualitative research discusses the six major components of trauma-informed practices (TIPs) used in health care
today (e.g., empowerment, culture, trust, collaboration, choice, and safety) while advocating for the inclusion of a
seventh element: health and interpersonal communications knowledge and skills. The traditional model seeks to
understand and address interpersonal, social, and health concerns related patients' perceptions of their lived
experiences (phenomenology) in health care. However, while part of these interactions, communications is not stated
explicitly even though it's part of the social determinants of health. The coauthors, Diego Mateo and Kelli Ling, posit
that these 'soft skills' are critical for understanding how different REM (racial and ethnic minorities) groups experience
trauma in their lives and how they interpret positively and negatively communicative interactions with various
healthcare professionals and staff. Along with phenomenology, critical race theory, and Crenshaw's intersectionality
lens, the study provides a deeper understanding of the role of diversity in trauma and U.S. health care experiences,
along with greater understanding of the significant role that health and interpersonal communications play in terms of
praxis.

This study examines the confidence and interest levels among non-STEM undergraduates in learning core biological
concepts, their perceptions of science literacy skillsets, and the potential role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational
settings. Non-STEM majors typically demonstrate lower confidence and interest in biology, which can negatively affect
learning outcomes and broader science literacy. Data were collected from 53 non-STEM undergraduates enrolled in an
introductory biology course at a Midwestern state university early in the semester using a cross-sectional survey.
Preliminary findings suggest that while students exhibit moderate interest and confidence in biology, these factors
alone do not guarantee higher engagement in scientific discourse. Regarding science literacy skillsets, students
emphasized open-mindedness, effective communication—including cross-cultural communication—and a foundational
understanding of biology as essential skills. Some participants felt unable to articulate their science literacy due to
their primary focus on non-STEM disciplines. Regarding AI, 43% reported no prior experience. Those with prior AI
exposure, primarily through tools like Grammarly and ChatGPT, had more favorable attitudes toward its educational
integration, noting benefits such as adaptability, convenience, and conceptual support. However, concerns about AI's
accuracy and potential misuse highlight the need for clear ethical guidelines for its educational use. These findings
underscore the importance of carefully designed AI-based interventions to enhance STEM learning for non-STEM
majors. This research contributes to the broader dialogue on integrating emerging technologies in higher education by
clarifying how AI can support non-STEM education. Future research will focus on refining AI tools based on feedback
and assessing the long-term effects of AI-enhanced learning on student engagement and performance.

University of Washington / United States of America (USA)

Language endangerment is a concerning problem in current world. In our previous work, a web toolset called Melodic
Transcription in Language Documentation and Analysis (MeTILDA) has been developed to help document endangered
pitch-accent languages. A pitch-accent language is a language where the change of pitch-accent may change the
meaning of words. The MeTILDA system can visualize and document the pitch movement using a novel perceptual
scale. In this study, we focus on extending the education functions of the MeTILDA system. It is a Content Management
System (CMS) including six sub-systems, namely course, lesson, discussion, assignment, quiz and grading. It supports
four major aspects of language education including listening, speaking, reading and writing. In addition, it integrates the
pitch art component in the MeTILDA system to facilitate visualization of pitch movements in audio recording. Moreover,
it inherits the cloud-based architecture of the MeTILDA system, so it can be easily integrated with the existing MeTILDA
system to better support language education.

The Mentorship From Senior Faculty To Junior Faculty At

Historically Black Colleges And Universities

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Quienton Nichols
Fayetteville State University / United States of America (USA)

An important feature of higher education is the mentorship of junior faculty by senior faculty. Addressing the vital role
mentorship plays in an academic institution's survival promotes more opportunities and positive learning experiences.
Research shows that mentorship programs for faculty have numerous benefits (Conway, 2018). A literature review by
Dr. Shane P. Dessell et al. found that "Formal mentoring programs have been associated with faculty member job
satisfaction, commitment, reductions in turnover, and productivity (Jacobs, 2023). Conversely, faculty mentorship at
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) provides emerging research on the importance of recruiting,
retaining, and promoting faculty within HBCU (Conway, 2018). However, there are benefits of mentorship including
professional development, peer mentoring, and psychosocial support. For instance, through their mentors, junior
faculty can better become acquainted with the unique needs and strengths of the student body and be introduced to
faculty and student resources and protocols (Jacobs, 2023). Therefore, this presentation will present some of the
benefits of mentorship as well as the specific issues and aspects of mentorship in HBCUs (Conway, 2018).

Educators’ Perspectives On Supporting Gender Diversity In

The Classroom Through A Culture Of CARE

Dr. Jon McFarland *

California State University Stanislaus / CS-USA
Dr. Heidi Kuehn
Condor High School, Oxnard Union High School District / United States of America (USA)

LGBTQ+ youth have been the target of much controversy lately in mainstream media and American politics. According
to the American Civil Liberties Union, 530 pieces of legislation attack the rights of LGBTQ+ people (ACLU, 2024).
Attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in both secondary and higher education spaces have increased
significantly with growing conservative leadership in American political arenas that mirror the intersectional turmoil
for LGBTQ+ people in the United States. The authors of this article consider how gender identity has emerged in their
teaching and research and offer ways to encourage educational partners to disrupt binary expectations of gender in
educational spaces. Their Culture of CARE sets the groundwork for establishing inclusive and nurturing environments
for all queer and gender-diverse individuals. The acronym CARE stands for Compassion, Awareness, Respect, and E
mpathy, and each stage of the framework is developed with tangible examples of how the linear process can be
applied. The authors’ ethnographic perspective provides details for the framework, offering actionable steps that
educators can implement to provide culturally relevant support for LGBTQ+ youth, faculty, and staff in K-20 schools.
The adoption and implementation of a Culture of CARE would only improve psychological, social-emotional, and
environmental factors for LGBTQ+ students, faculty, staff and other educational partners while promoting more
equitable and inclusive practices that support all.

Tennessee Tech University / CS-USA

This study investigated college students’ understanding of wellness in their lives, focusing on behaviors aligned with
the Eight Dimensions of Wellness: emotional, social, environmental, financial, intellectual, physical, spiritual, and
occupational. Participants were to respond with "yes" or "no" to 16 survey questions to indicate active incorporation of
wellness behaviorsin their lives. We aimed to assess how students’ perceptions influenced balanced health, academic
success, and life satisfaction. The current study underscored the importance of institutions of higher education
prioritizing student wellness as proposed by Shushok and Matson (2021), because wellness promotes healthier
choices, as supported by Baldwin et al. (2017). Two administrations of undergraduate students enrolled in psychology
courses were asked to volunteer for this study (n=149). Two interesting trends are participants’perceptions of the
emotional and social dimensions in regard tocollege demands and relationship issues which seem to concur with the
literature. It is hoped that future research will discern the decision-making of college students in regards to behaviors
destined to healthy living, college excellence, and life satisfaction.

Instructor Natalie Welcome
Arizona State University / United States of America (USA)

A Virtual Learning Community (VLC) can be defined in a variety of ways, including as

an online resource “for sharing tools and ideas” (University of Chicago, 2024), as a
“clearinghouse for the peer support workforce” (APS Virtual Learning Community, 2024), or as
a “collaborative development of content, resources, and technology tools” (NC Community
College System, 2024). Virtual Learning Communities provide on-demand engagement and collaboration
between students and their peers, tutors and their instructors. In addition, students can participate
in these communities at their convenience anywhere and time. This study investigates students'
perceptions of the use of the Virtual Learning Community InScribe in the online mathematics
classroom. The participants in this study were 39 undergraduate students enrolled in a College
Algebra course. Data was collected using a 5-point Likert-type questionnaire that included two
open-ended questions. The results indicated that most students in this study expressed a positive
attitude towards the use of InScribe in the mathematics classroom. Also, it indicated that students
believed that the use of InScribe had a positive impact on their learning, their classroom
participation and interaction with tutors and instructors.

Transforming Public Spaces Into Learning Places:

Community-Facilitated Social Science Education

Dr. Hsin-Yi Chien *

Exploratorium / United States of America (USA)

This presentation explores the impacts of facilitated learning in outdoor settings through the case of Middle Ground:
Considering Ourselves and Others, an exhibition designed to engage general public visitors with the social sciences of
social cognition, influence, and connection. Installed in public civic plazas in San Francisco, Middle Ground featured
interactive exhibits that encouraged reflection on cognitive shortcuts, stereotypes, social norms, and prosocial
behaviors. The objectives of this presentation are twofold. First, we aim to share our experience in transforming social
science concepts into interactive exhibits to engage a diverse public audience. Second, we will present the results of
two studies conducted to examine the impact of trauma-informed facilitation by community stewards on enhancing
engagement and social science learning at the Middle Ground exhibition. In the first study, we employed a quasi-
experimental design. Findings revealed that visitors demonstrated metacognitive reflections on their past social
interactions and connected these reflections to social science concepts such as intergroup emotions, empathy, and
social conformity. Additionally, the study showed that trauma-informed facilitation by community stewards, whose life
stories resonated the exhibition themes of stereotypes and biases, significantly enhanced visitor engagement and
learning. The second study qualitatively analyzed the conversations between facilitators and visitors to explore the
linkage between facilitation strategies and learning impact. Together, these findings demonstrate how contextually
relevant science, learning-centered placemaking, and content-humanizing facilitation can work in tandem to transform
outdoor public spaces into welcoming classrooms, places where people can spend time, socialize, and learn about the
social sciences around their everyday life.

Canadian Press And The American Presidential Campaign

Of 1908

Prof. Dr. Harvey J Strum *

Russell Sage College / United States of America (USA)

In 1896 and 1900, the Canadian press virtually unanimously shared their hostility to the election of William Jennings
Bryan, the Democratic presidential candidate .When Bryan ran for a third time in 1908 against William Howard Taft,
Republican, Bryan's proposed policies alienated most of the conservative business oriented Liberal and Conservative
Party press. Canada's financial elite controlled most the press and abhorred Bryan's political and economic radicalism.
Most of the press looked at horror at the thought Americans might elect a radical who might encourage radicalism in
Canada, especially in western Canada, beginning to stir with political movements resembling American populism and
[Link], in 1908 part of the Canadian press representing western agrarians, Winnipeg's Grain Growers'
Guide, social reform Liberals, like Toronto Star, trade unionist Industrial Banner, and militant Protestant Orange Order
Toronto Sentinel hoped for Bryan's victory. In addition, a number of newspaper editors did not fear Bryan and
welcomed the election of either Bryan or Taft. On the left, Canadian Socialist newspapers, like Vancouver Western
Clarion, viewed both candidates as tools of the corporate elite and favored American Socialist Eugene V. Debs

This qualitative study explored professional development in education, its effectiveness, and the administration's role
in professional development and offered recommendations for improvement. This topic is critical because the
literature shows that professional development is problematic for education stakeholders locally and nationally.
Teachers have criticized traditional forms of professional development as irrelevant and unhelpful for authentic
learning and development. The literature review further suggests different views regarding the effectiveness of
professional development. Research shows that professional development can either significantly help teachers and
positively impact their students' learning or be ineffective in promoting learning. This study surveyed teachers from
one district in central Illinois, and participants were selected from various subjects and experience levels. This study
concluded that teachers have negative perceptions of professional development, the role that administrations play in
planning professional development, the implementation of professional development, and its impact on and relation to
teacher retention. This research was intended to help teachers, administrators, superintendents, and professional
development practitioners create, receive, and deliver positive and beneficial professional development.

Team Teaching With AI To Promote Multiple Perspective-

Taking

Prof. Diane Gayeski *

Ithaca College / United States of America (USA)

Given the complexity of the world for which universities are preparing students, faculty must go beyond teaching their
specific subject matter and strive to expand students’ abilities to think critically, solve problems, and embrace
situations from a variety of perspectives. The ability to incorporate multiple perspectives in course design is imperative
for two reasons: 1) the movement to decolonize curriculum implies that professors seek divergent perspectives,
alternative explanations and examples, and studies with converging or conflicting conclusions; 2) pedagogy that
promotes multiple perspective-taking also develops problem-solving and teamwork skills which repeatedly show up
among the most important factors that employers seek in new graduatesArtificial intelligence (AI) tools can be
employed by faculty to develop more sophisticated approaches to designing and assessing learning activities and by
students to expand the ways that they frame and research problems. This presentation describes a pilot project
conducted by the author to use several AI tools to develop a simulation for “Communicating with Stakeholders”, an
undergraduate course in a degree program that prepares students for roles in corporate strategic communication. The
goals, methods, and outcomes of this pilot are discussed using a framework from current literature about AI in higher
education teaching, and in scaffolding the ultimate student learning objective of multiple [Link] most
striking improvement in the course using the AI-powered simulation exercise as compared to previous versions of the
course was that students gradually began to seek divergent opinions and viewpoints with excitement and appreciation,
and also received feedback on their work with less defensiveness.

Active Learning In Academic Museums

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Stephanie Chadwick *

Lamar University / United States of America (USA)

Museums have been established on campuses and in communities across the nation and, indeed, much of the world,
for a variety of reasons, including, as has traditionally been the case, collecting and preserving art and artifacts. Many
early museums were private affairs, displaying objects for personal pleasure and small groups of elite visitors. In stark
contrast, museums since at least the eighteenth century have emphasized exhibiting. Today, museum missions are
multifaceted, focused on not only conserving objects deemed monetarily, culturally, and historically valuable but also
exhibiting them to ever wider audiences as artifacts that document and preserve, even celebrate and critique histories
and cultures. Museums today emphasize outreach and accessibility, Many house extensive education departments
designed to bring the public in and showcase museums as welcoming learning environments. These spaces, and
particularly their academic counterparts, are essential to art, art history, and art education students. Yet recent
scholarship has shown that museums facilitate learning for students in a variety of fields, offering in person and online
encounters and an array of perspectives, as well as opportunities to consider contexts of production, acquisition, and
display. In campus museums, students can synthesize and apply knowledge and skills acquired in class, translating
academic instruction into the kinds of adaptable, culturally situated, real-world applications sought by many
employers and post graduate committees. This paper explores university museums, considering the ways in which
museum learning and engagement can enhance visual literacy, critical thinking, and a range of academic and
professional skills.

This study investigates the potential of generative AI (GenAI), represented by ChatGPT and Gemini, to rewrite narratives
and match the quality of professional human authors. Focusing on key metrics such as writing style, readability, and
verbosity, the study compares AI-generated and human-authored texts using quantitative analysis and readability
indices, including Linsear Write, SMOG, and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level. Results reveal that GenAI often generates text
with higher verbosity and readability scores, indicating its ability to produce sophisticated outputs. However, human-
authored narratives excel in balancing accessibility with nuanced language and stylistic coherence, making them
appealing to a broader audience. Lexical density and diversity analysis show GenAI’s competitive performance, with
Gemini exhibiting a slightly more complex output than ChatGPT. While these findings highlight GenAI’s promise in
narrative rewriting, further research is necessary to enhance its storytelling capabilities and ensure its outputs align
with the creativity and depth of human writing.

This paper will investigate the role of Trust, Perceived Benefit, Perceived Risk and Customer Satisfaction on Purchase
Intention with E-commerce. Trust and Customer Satisfaction are two crucial metrics that play an essential role in E-
commerce success (Kim et al., 2009). However, existing research has not linked antecedents to Customer Satisfaction
that prompt Purchase Intention, when combined with Extended Valance Framework, which is an important topic since
perceived Quality, Perceived Value and Loyalty may all have a positive relationship with Customer Satisfaction that
may influence a consumer’s Purchase Intention. Using a conceptual Extended Valance Framework model the study will
examine the direct and indirect effects. The findings will help the e-tailers to develop strategies to increase consumer
trust, eliminate risks and drive online sales. This research will largely, contribute to the understanding of e-commerce
consumer behavior and will offer practical recommendations for online businesses’ to thrive in building consumer

Immigration: Myths And Facts

Dr. Lawrencia Baaba Okai *

Rhode Island College / United States of America (USA)

Immigration continues to derive controversies in all circles. The mere mention of the word immigration or immigrant
has become such a sensitive word that sparks heated debates. How did this start? The term “illegal immigration” did
not exist in the early 19th and 20th century, and immigration restrictions were so few
([Link]/immigration/dates). The United States, widely known as the country of immigrants, was favorably
disposed towards immigrants and welcomed them during its first hundred years. This was a tactic to enhance
economic growth and socialization, and additionally , to position itself as a refuge for anyone fleeing persecution or
oppression (Haidar, & Smith2017). Amidst this positive move, a belief arose that immigrants added to poverty and
crime rates. This belief led to the enactment of immigration Act of 1882, prohibiting paupers, convicts, and persons
with cognitive impairment from being admitted into the United States (Chang-Muy, & Congress, 2023). Several
immigration policies and laws were subsequently passed that have significantly impacted immigration to this [Link]
study aims to educate researchers and educators on the trend of immigration policies over the years and how it has
shaped the perceptions and attitudes of Americans towards immigrants. Through an investigative analysis of existing
data, this study will compare and evaluate the contributions and demerits immigrants present to the United States to
demystify controversies and debunk the myths surrounding immigration.

Augusta University / United States of America (USA)
Student Syann Ford
Augusta University / United States of America (USA)

This study investigates the effectiveness of an innovative ACE (Applying, Connecting, Experiencing) model for teaching
geometry to preservice elementary school teachers through an integrated STEM inquiry within mathematics content
courses. The ACE model promotes the application of learned knowledge and skills to teaching practice, connects
crosscutting concepts through STEM inquiries and practices, and provides experiential, community-based learning to
enhance teachers' attitudes and beliefs toward mathematics teaching and learning. Data for this study were collected
from one of four research sites. Thirty preservice elementary teachers participated in the study, engaging in a windmill
module where they assembled and designed windmill blades to maximize electricity generation. After mastering the
concepts, the preservice teachers visited community centers and elementary schools to teach a similar STEM module
to elementary students in after-school programs. Data collected include pre- and post-surveys to measure preservice
teachers’ changes in attitudes and beliefs toward mathematics teaching and learning. Additionally, self-reflections
from the preservice teachers about their experiences with the project were collected to assess the value of the ACE
math course from their perspective and to voice their learning experiences. In this presentation, we will report the
preliminary findings of this study, aiming to provoke discussion on the feasibility of integrating STEM content into
mathematics courses and the challenges we encountered while implementing the STEM module. The study is
significant because it fills a gap in the research literature by considering how the integration of STEM inquiries can
improve preservice teachers’ mathematical learning within a mathematics content course, extending their learning
beyond traditional mathematics.

Universities and their faculty design curricula and programs that build learners’ competencies to positively impact
their fields of study and society, and while most institutions mark their success by the titles and positions their alums
have achieved, does that necessarily reflect an internal transformation manifested in the posture taken by those
graduates? As an institution, we must ask ourselves, has the training and education our alums have received truly
made a difference in how they are interacting in the world they have been placed beyond commencement? Did they
experience mere academic growth and credentials, or was their experience transformational and if so, what does that
look like? What are the programmatic factors that have influenced their careers and personal trajectories?Building on
a preliminary study of 82 doctoral candidates across various disciplines in one institution in the mid-Atlantic region of

Assist. Prof. Sung Kim *

Adelphi University / United States of America (USA)

The increasing use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) by students poses challenges for educators. While there is
concern about the potential misuse of generative AI and the threat of academic dishonesty, the potential educational
benefit of these tools cannot be ignored. This paper investigates how artificial intelligence is utilized in education and
proposes strategies for incorporating AI tools specifically into the area of cybersecurity education. AI tools such as
ChatGPT can be valuable learning resources, providing personalized feedback on complex topics. But they also exhibit
weaknesses, such as lack of deep understanding of complex topics and difficulty in evaluating quality and correctness
of responses. By designing exercises tailored to the strengths of AI tools, AI can be a valuable learning resource that
fosters critical thinking and analysis. Cybersecurity is a field that benefits from experiential learning involving practical,
skill-based exercises. This paper examines examples from different cybersecurity courses and demonstrates how
updating exercises to incorporate AI can reinforce practical concepts while minimizing the temptation to simply
plagiarize content generated by AI.

Does Students’ Gender Affect Their Success In Economics

Classes?

Prof. Dr. Orhan Kara *

Prof. Dr. Mustafa Celikten
Erciyes University / Turkey

The effect of gender on student success in economics classes has been investigated by several researchers, however,
they have not reached a consensus. Therefore, to provide new evidence, we investigate this issue by controlling more
variables and using an ordered logit model. 744 principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics students were
surveyed at two public universities. Positive, significant correlations exist between grades and the following variables:
GPA, number of hours worked, number of economic courses taken previously, SAT scores, expected grade at the
beginning of the semester, number of hours spent studying for the class, number of attended classes, instructors' use
of graphs and equations, and interest in the course. However, a negative correlation was found between grades and
the number of hours per week spent studying. After controlling for factors such as number of hours worked, SAT
scores, number of missed classes, instructors, junior status, number of economics courses taken, type of class, and
interest in the class, results showed gender was a significant factor contributing to learning and success as measured
by grades. Specifically, this result implies that female students are 1.39 times more likely to get a better grade
compared to male students.

Media Literacy And AI Toolsets For Pre-Service Teachers:

Balancing Innovation With Critical Engagement For Future
Educators

Dr. Christopher Keller *

Cameron University / United States of America (USA)

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into educational practice, pre-service teachers must develop
both technical proficiency and critical literacy in AI toolsets. AI-powered tools offer immense potential for lesson
planning, content creation, and classroom management, but their use requires careful guidance to ensure that
technology enhances, rather than replaces, meaningful learning. This presentation explores a structured approach to
integrating AI literacy into teacher preparation programs, equipping future educators with the skills to navigate the
benefits and limitations of AI in [Link] literacy is the ability to critically analyze, evaluate, and responsibly
engage with media and technology. Just like other forms of literacy education, media literacy is a learned and trainable
construct. Media literacy education today must now also include AI-driven tools and here, is applied to AI’s role in
education. Educators for media literacy must move beyond analyzing news and digital media effects, to interrogating
the ways AI shapes information, teaching methods, and student [Link] presentation will explore how AI-
generated content influences information processing, assessment practices, and student engagement. Pre-service
teachers must not only learn how to use AI effectively in their teaching strategies but also how to critically evaluate
digital tools, ensuring their pedagogical decisions align with best practices in media literacy. AI can support
differentiated instruction, adaptive learning strategies, and time management. This is a difficult task while also
safeguarding academic integrity. Strategies to prevent AI over-reliance will be discussed, including fostering authentic
learning experiences, creative assessment techniques, ethical considerations, and active learning methodologies that
encourage students to think critically rather than passively accept AI-generated content.

This study examines the communication "fluency gap" in public speaking courses between native (L1) and non-native
(L2) English speakers through the lens of state speech anxiety, cognitive interference and mental effort. Employing an
empirical design incorporating speech recordings, self-assessments and audience evaluations, the research seeks to
elucidate the cognitive-linguistic mechanisms underlying speech dysfluencies and inform pedagogical strategies for
enhancing L2 public speaking addresses. The results of this study could assist educators and students understand how
ruminating while giving a classroom public speech effects the fluency of L1 and L2 students. This research study could
lead to improved instructional practices, that, in turn, will engender higher levels of student achievement and greater
mental effort by L1 and L2 speakers in basic communication courses. Furthermore, this study will contribute to
programmatic research conducted by future basic communication course researchers.

An Examination Of Multiple Literacies Addressed In

Content-Area Methods Courses: A Case Study Of The
Perspectives Of Urban Teacher Education Faculty

Multi-literacies encompass the diverse ways people communicate and make meaning in various contexts and include a
range of literacies (content area literacy, disciplinary literacy, critical literacy, digital literacies) that extend beyond
traditional reading and writing. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore urban teacher education
faculty members’ incorporation of multiple literacies within their disciplinary area. Semi-structured interviews and
document analyses were used to build a composite picture of the faculty members’ conceptualization of what multiple
literacy entails, the importance of specific literacies, and the ways they address literacy processes within the disciplines
in which they teach. Our findings indicate these urban teacher education faculty members integrate various literacies
into their classes but differ in terms of the emphases they placed on the role specific literacy approaches. English and
Social Studies faculty explicitly defined literacy in terms of a critical lens. The mathematics and science faculty noted
the importance of cultural relevance but underscored general literacy strategies and disciplinary literacy as central to
their instructional approaches in their disciplines. Findings from this research will allow for a feedback loop where
examination informs and provides evidence of nature of literacies conceptualized as valuable in specific disciplines and
the needs that faculty identify that could support their ability to expand or enhance attention to this area.

This study examines the perceptions of university students towards the use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in
educational processes, especially in assignments. The main features of URM are human-like language abilities and the
capacity to generate predictive content. In the study, descriptive research method, which is a quantitative method, was
used to measure the views of Erzurum Atatürk University students towards the use of URM. The data collected from
the participants in online format were analyzed through descriptive [Link] findings of the study show that the
majority of the students find it useful to use UIC tools such as ChatGPT in their assignments. While 63% of the
students thought that using ChatGPT in assignments was useful, 21% were undecided and 16% expressed negative
opinions. There was a high level of positive feedback that ChatGPT increased success in the assignment process,
speeded up work and supported productivity. However, some students reported concerns about the impact of this
technology on academic ethics issues and possible negative aspects on critical thinking [Link] was observed that
students found the process of learning and using ChatGPT easy but needed integration and guidance support. In
addition, the incentives from their social environment were found to have an impact on students' tendency to use the
IWB. The study recommends developing guidance and training programs on the use of URMs, raising awareness about
the accuracy of information, and encouraging ethical use.

Maximizing Treatment Effectiveness: The Benefits Of

Integrating CBT And DBT In Mental Health Care

Lecturer Monik Mossini *

MM Counseling Miami / United States of America (USA)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), developed by Aaron Beck in the 1960s, is an evidence-based psychotherapy
approach that has proven effective in treating a range of mental health conditions, particularly depression and anxiety.
Beck's theory highlights the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This approach underscores the
idea that altering one's negative automatic thoughts can lead to meaningful changes in emotional well-being and
behavior. Since its inception, CBT has evolved into the treatment of choice for numerous conditions across different
age groups, with robust evidence supporting its efficacy.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) was developed in the 1970s by Marsha Linehan as an intervention blending
elements of CBT with mindfulness practices. Linehan initially focused on women with persistent suicidal behaviors who
had not responded to other treatments. DBT introduced practical skills to help patients regulate their emotions more
effectively. While initially intended to treat Borderline Personality Disorder, DBT has since expanded and proven
effective for treating anyone struggling with emotional dysregulation.

While many mental health professionals adhere strictly to a single theoretical approach, recent studies suggest that
combining CBT and DBT offers a comprehensive and effective strategy for treating mood disorders and anxiety.
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns. In contrast, dialectical
behavioral therapy focuses on building practical skills to manage emotions effectively. Combining CBT and DBT creates
a holistic treatment approach that mental health professionals can tailor to each patient's unique needs.

Overall, this literature review contributes to the growing body of literature on mental health by providing valuable
insights into the effectiveness of combining CBT and DBT in clinical practice.

Why Are We Fighting? Actionable Strategies For Effective

Communication

Dr. Patricia Timerman Barbosa Da Silva *

Advocate2Create / United States of America (USA)

The presentation is based on my book "Why Are We Fighting? Actionable Strategies for Effective Communication." The
presentation will focus on the communication model I developed called the IAP Model - Intention, Action, Perception -
which I call the "Google Translate" of communication. The IAP Model brings to light the fact that not all actions have a
universal meaning by breaking communication down into internal and external factors. Intention and perception are
both internal factors. Intention is internal to the doer, as only I know my intentions and my expectations associated to
my actions, whereas perception is internal to the receiver or observer, who will interpret the action from their point of
view, which is shaped by their past experiences. The only external factor is the action itself. Our actions tend to get lost
in translation because the intention is often unspoken, and the action itself is subject to interpretations. The IAP Model
introduces actionable strategies, both for the doer and the receiver, to help bring awareness to assumptions and
promote more effective and intentional communication. Such strategies include the IAP 3 columns of communication,
rule of 3 interpretations, codewords, preamble and more. At it's core, the IAP Model helps to identify and break the
vicious cycle of miscommunication.

In order to adapt to the changing world of the 21st century, changes and updates need to be made in many areas of
life. The curriculum implemented in schools is also affected by this change process since students need to keep up
with social, economic and scientific developments. In Turkish educational system, a variety of courses are given to
secondary school students from 5th to 8th grade. Of these, mathematics is one of the most important subjects as it
helps people understand the world and improve the environment they live in. Within the scope of the Ministry of
National Education’s Türkiye Century Education Model studies, middle school mathematics curriculum have been
renewed and started to be implemented in the 5th grade as of the 2024 fall semester. This study aims to make a
general comparison of this new secondary school mathematics curriculum with the previous 2018 curriculum. It was
designed as document analysis research study as the data were collected from the written documents of 2024 and
2018 curricula. Content analysis, one of the qualitative data analysis methods, was used to examine and categorize the
information in the curriculum texts. The findings showed the similarities and differences between the curriculum
contents in terms of several aspects such as general purposes, targeted skills, learning areas, learning outcomes,
course hours and textbook forms.

Integrated Design Solutions For An Inclusive Classroom

Assist. Prof. Dr. Belinda Nuth Sloboda *

Indiana University of PA (IUP) / United States of America (USA)

We often hear that keeping students with disabilities separated from their peers is harmful to their mental health and
well-being. This presentation stems from a dissertation on the importance of multi-sensory room usage in elementary
schools. The researcher found that the lack of a multi-sensory room (MSR) or space, whether due to budget
constraints, being utilized by others, or simply a lack of space, is an important issue that is often overlooked by both
school leaders and the architects who design schools. Unfortunately, nothing is being done to help the current
condition of school planning. While special education classrooms and MSRs are still needed, inclusive general
classrooms offer more flexibility to teachers and staff as well as provide needed amenities to all students – just not to
those with documented disabilities. A student that may not have a documented disability could still have sensory
issues and would benefit from being in an integrated classroom. If designers and architects can have the foresight to
provide a little extra space for a MSR closet, niche, or quiet space, then it would be beneficial for all involved.
Addressing the students’ needs, as well as sensory space placement and setup during the pre-design and design phase
of the construction process, will allow every classroom to become an inclusive space for all students, thus treating
everyone as equals.

This study examines the representation of diversity in U.S.-based award-winning and acclaimed children's literature,
with a focus on its implications for a global audience. By analyzing a selection of 86 titles from various grade levels,
the research explores the portrayal of gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, disability, religion, and sexual
orientation. The findings reveal significant disparities in representation, with a predominance of White characters and a
lack of LGBTQ+ and congenital disability depictions. The study underscores the importance of diverse literature in
fostering cultural awareness and empathy among children worldwide. It also highlights the potential for these books
to resonate with international readers, encouraging them to engage with diverse narratives and reflect on
representation gaps in their own [Link], this research aims to promote a broader understanding of
diversity and equity in children's literature across different cultures. By examining the content and quality of these
books, the study provides insights into how diverse representations can influence children's sense of self and their
ability to address issues of equity and discrimination. The findings suggest that while U.S. children's literature has
made strides in including diverse characters, there is still a need for more inclusive stories that reflect a wider range of
experiences and identities. This paper calls for educators, librarians, and policymakers to consider the global impact of
children's literature and to advocate for books that not only represent diverse U.S. populations but also resonate with
children from various cultural backgrounds around the world.
