Both Education for All (EFA) and Millennium Development Goals (MDG) agendas emphasize increasing equality of global educational opportunities and bridging the accessibility gap. Approximately 25% of refugees are deprived of elementary school educational opportunities, and about 65% do not have access to secondary school (Dryden-Peterson, 2010). Studies of Syrian refugees show that the lack of partnership and digital technology in higher education restricts their educational opportunities (Pherali and Abu Mohli, 2021). The recent STEM education reform for IMSA proposes a community-oriented open innovation STEM model that combines community and open innovation (Lee and Jung, 2021). The gap of global educational …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, resulting in dysfunctional cortico-striato-thalamiccortical loops. Parkinson's disease patients suffer from chronic movement disabilities as well as cognitive impairments and other nonmotor symptoms, which implies a systemwide effect on overall brain function. Because the disease currently has no cure, the discovery of a biomarker for specific PD symptoms is crucial for monitoring treatment potency. This study aimed to evaluate the validity of using functional connectivity between regions of the basal ganglia as a biomarker for specific symptoms of PD.

Gifted individuals have been shown to have higher developmental potential, making them more likely to exhibit overexcitabilities (OEs) classified as psychomotor, sensual, intellectual, imaginational, or emotional. The OE levels between IMSA males and females and between IMSA students interested in STEM and Ohio generally gifted students were examined using the Overexcitabilty Questionnaire-two. Data from 70 IMSA sophomores were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and Bonferroni Correction method. Results showed that IMSA females had significantly higher sensual and emotional levels than males. Both IMSA males and females exhibited significantly lower imaginational OE levels than the Ohio students. This study will hopefully …
