Generative Ai In Early Higher Education: A Systematic Literature Review And Agenda For Future Studies, Michelle Childs, Chris Kilgore

The Interdisciplinary Journal for Research on Pedagogy and Learning Design, Vol. 1, Issue 1., Fall 2026

This systematic literature review synthesizes the rapidly expanding body of empirical research on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in lower division general education courses. Across disciplines and instructional settings, the review analyzes publication patterns, theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, and recurring findings related to student learning. Evidence consistently suggests that GenAI can strengthen performance, engagement, confidence, and perceptions of usefulness, particularly when supported through intentional instructional design and opportunities to build AI literacy. At the same time, the literature is dominated by short-term evaluations of product quality, leaving the mechanisms of learning and longer-term development underexplored. In response, the review introduces a …

Research Assessment As Aninstitutional Lever For Sustainabledevelopment: Aligning Researchincentives With Societal Goals, Seán Lacey

Publications

Research assessment is often viewed as a technical process for evaluating research performance. However, assessment systems also function as institutional mechanisms that shape incentives, influence researcher behaviour and help determine which activities are recognized and rewarded within the research ecosystem. This opinion piece argues that research assessment should be understood as an institutional lever for sustainable development. While quantitative indicators such as publications, citations and grant income have facilitated large‑scale evaluation, an over‑reliance on such measures can narrow research agendas and under‑recognize activities that contribute to openness, collaboration, integrity and societal impact. Drawing on contemporary discussions surrounding research assessment reform, …

Paradoxes Of Customary Land Formalization: A Comparative Study Of Papua New Guinea And Indonesia From A Political Anthropology Perspective, Adi Prasetijo

Antropologi Indonesia

This article studies the dynamics of customary land ownership in Papua New Guinea (PNG), where approximately 97 percent of land is collectively held by clans. Drawing on insights from political anthropology—particularly normative pluralism (Griffiths, 1986; von Benda-Beckmann, 2006), Polanyi's double movement (Filer, 2014), along with cosmological perspectives on land and identity (Weiner & Glaskin, 2007; Ingold, 2021), it analyzes how government efforts to formalize customary land through the Land Act 1996 and the Incorporated Land Groups (ILG) Act 2009 generate three principal paradoxes: (1) protection versus exclusion, (2) recognition versus commodification, and (3) negotiation versus rigidity. The study blends an …

Data-Driven Discovery Of Canonical Models In Undergraduate Differential Equations Education, Devon L. Garls, Raina Majumder, Scott A. Strong

CODEE Journal

Roughly a decade ago, Brunton, Proctor, and Kutz built upon the re-

sults of classical control theory, compressed sensing, and symbolic regression

to create a method for Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy),

allowing one to infer a dynamical system from time series and bring mathe-

matical dynamics into the modern era of large data. This paper is designed for

a reader concurrently enrolled in a first course in ordinary differential equa-

tions and begins with a technical overview of least-squares regression and

finite-difference approximations to derivatives, which is enough to perform

an example hand-calculation on three data points. The …

“Zoned Communities”: Signage And The Culture Of Property, Noah M. Kazis

Duke Law Journal Online

At the entrance to many small towns and counties can be found signs proclaiming "Zoning Enforced" or "Zoned Community, Permits Required." Such signage purports to be providing notice of local land use law. In the language used on these signs and in their visual cues, they appear to be official, instrumental communications, like a traffic or "no trespassing" sign. Moreover, when asked, that is what the local officials and residents who advocate for erecting such signs understand them to be.

This Essay, however, argues that such signage primarily functions in a subtler, cultural register. These signs' primary purpose is to …

Risk-Aware Scheduling In Distributed Systems Using Reinforcement Learning And Mined Traffic Patterns, Donia Fadil Chalob, Jaber Karimpour, Zolfaghar Salmanian

Baghdad Science Journal

Large-scale networked systems now face security threats that shift faster than fixed schedulers can follow. Conventional scheduling optimizes throughput and latency, and treats security as an afterthought. This paper takes a different approach: a reinforcement learning framework for risk-aware scheduling, with its risk signal drawn from multi-modal analysis of UNSW-NB15 traffic – statistical profiling, DBSCAN and Gaussian mixture clustering, and sequential pattern mining. The pipeline runs in two phases. First, preprocessing and feature engineering turn raw network data into usable scheduling features. Second, DQN and PPO agents learn scheduling policies under a dynamic, risk-weighted reward. The balance between security and …

Structural And Thermal Characterization Of Chitosan/Pva/Vitamin Matrices And Their Histological Impact On Cell Proliferation And Tissue Remodeling In Wound Healing, Estabraq Hasan Rashed, Hanaa Shuker Mahmood

Baghdad Science Journal

The healing of wounds is one of the complex biological processes, which involves appropriate coordination of cellular and molecular reactions and the production of innovative biomaterials turned out to be the prerequisite to enhance the efficiency of the healing process. The objective of this study was to prepare and evaluate a Vitamin A-loaded chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA) biodegradable composite film for potential wound-healing applications. The composite films were fabricated by means of the 98: 2 CS/PVA mixture with various concentration of vitamin. A physicochemical characterization was done using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) …

Konstruksi Identitas Nasional Melalui Bahasa Visual Animasi Dalam Trailer Film Merah Putih: One For All, Deva Alviana, A. Syaifuddin Rohman

Journal of Language, Literature, and Arts

This study aims to analyze the application of the 12 principles of animation, the construction of national identity, and audience interpretations of the animated film trailer Merah Putih: One for All. A qualitative approach was employed through scene-by-scene audiovisual analysis of the 2-minute, 2-second trailer published on the YouTube channel @perfikitv and reception analysis of 15 comments purposively selected from X. The analytical framework combines Thomas and Johnston’s 12 principles of animation with Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding theory. The evaluation indicates that one principle was applied effectively, two were partially applied, four were inadequately applied, and five were not adequately …

Who Holds The Power: A Discourse Analysis Surrounding Human Trafficking, Maria Bernardo

The Compass

Narratives surrounding human trafficking in the United States have shaped public understanding through government, media, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Human trafficking is a complex global issue involving exploitation using force, fraud, or coercion for numerous purposes. Through the examination of intertextual relationships among government reports, victim narratives, and media coverage, this project aims to look at dominant narratives about human trafficking while comparing them to policy. While policy criteria describes indicators, literature argues how human trafficking is not clearly defined. A common issue in literature is the definition of a trafficked person. There is often a debate between what scholars …

Patriotism From The Past To The Present: Inclusive And Exclusive Pratriotism As Powerful Forces In American History And Trump’S Presidency, Nicole Burgon

The Compass

What is patriotism? Is it standing for the “Star-Spangled Banner” before every sports game? Is it displaying the American flag in front of a house? While Americans often associate patriotism with these symbolic gestures, American patriotism is an attitude that has been present since the start of our nation’s history. Patriotism can be defined as a feeling of devotion, attachment, commitment, or support for one’s country. It is, however, more than a single dictionary definition. In 1946, Merle Curti’s The Roots of American Loyalty traced American patriotism throughout history as “a pattern of emotions and ideas.” In a 1999 article …
