The Use Of Indigenous Plants In Home And Health Clinic Gardens To Engender Urban Rewilding In The Urban And Peri-Urban Areas Of The North-West Province, South Africa, Nanamhla Gwedla, Sonja De Beer, Dikeledi Seshoka, Sarel S. Cilliers

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

There is a need to rethink the sustainability and resilience of cities, where there is often limited availability and access to urban green spaces (UGS). Urban rewilding is an opportune avenue to connect humans to nature. Thus, the aim of this study was to understand the potential for urban re-naturing through home and health clinic gardens (HCGs). This was done through vegetation surveys in the naga (natural area) micro-gardens of 16 HCGs and household surveys with 80 households with home gardens (HGs) in two districts of the North-West province, South Africa. The size of the naga across HCGs ranged from …

From Emerging Supporters To Seasoned Mentors: Teachers’ Well-Being And Responses To Student Wellness Needs Across Career Phases, Megan C. Sharkey, Elizabeth Levine-Brown, Christy Galletta Horner

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Educators report feeling overwhelmed by shifts in their working conditions and responsibilities since the pandemic, leading to significant levels of burnout and reduced professional satisfaction. Beyond traditional instructional roles, teachers are increasingly expected to serve as first responders to students’ wellness needs, manage complex behavioral issues, and provide ongoing emotional support. While teachers’ instructional practices, ability to manage classroom dynamics, and engagement in leadership roles evolve over time, findings here show that their well-being and approach to supporting students’ wellness needs shift across different career phases as well. This study examines, via a mixed methods approach, how K-12, full-time, U.S. …

High Energy Consumption Characterizes Abnormal Brain State Transitions In Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, Sam S. Javidi, Qirui Zhang, Ankeeta Ankeeta, Michael R. Sperling, Joseph I. Tracy

Farber Institute for Neuroscience Faculty Papers

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients experience shifts between non-seizing and seizing brain states, but the structural networks underlying these transitions remain undefined and poorly characterized. We detected dynamic brain states in resting-state fMRI and constructed linked structural networks utilizing multi-shell diffusion-weighted MR data. Leveraging network control theory, we interrogated the structural data for all possible brain state transitions, identifying those requiring abnormal levels of transition energy (low or high) in TLE compared to matched healthy participants (n's = 25). Results revealed three transitions requiring significantly higher energy in TLE; no abnormally low-energy transitions were observed. In HPs, transitions relied on …

Bridging Domains: Advances In Explainable, Automated, And Privacy-Preserving Ai For Computer Science And Cybersecurity, Youssef Harrath, Oswald Adohinzin, Jihene Kaabi Dr., Morgan Saathoff

Research & Publications

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly redefining both computer science and cybersecurity by enabling more intelligent, scalable, and privacy-conscious systems. While most prior surveys treat these fields in isolation, this paper provides a unified review of 256 peer reviewed publications to bridge that gap. We examine how emerging AI paradigms, such as explainable AI (XAI), AI-augmented software development, and federated learning, are shaping technological progress across both domains. In computer science, AI is increasingly embedded throughout the software development lifecycle to boost productivity, improve testing reliability, and automate decision making. In cybersecurity, AI drives advances in real-time threat detection and adaptive …

Experiential Learning: Innovative Approaches To Post-Secondary Cybersecurity Education, Brendan Bertone, Paul Wagner, Joshua Pauli

Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice

The cybersecurity profession continues to face a significant shortfall of qualified professionals despite steady growth in degree programs. Employers consistently cite experience as the main barrier for entry-level cybersecurity hires. This paper argues that clinic-based experiential learning offers a scalable solution to that preparation gap. A systematic literature review spanning academic and professional literature was conducted to examine: (1) barriers to entry for aspiring cybersecurity professionals; (2) the effectiveness of experiential learning compared to traditional instruction; and (3) the viability and scalability of cybersecurity clinics. Screening emphasized workforce development, experiential pedagogy, and alignment with the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework. Findings …

Understanding Middle Managers In Community Colleges, Mason Salazar

Dissertations

This dissertation explores the lived workplace experiences of non academic middle managers at community colleges, a group often overlooked in higher education research. Using a phenomenological approach, this study draws on semi-structured interviews with eleven directors and managers to highlight how these professionals navigate their campus environments, operational demands, and student needs. Framed by Max Weber’s theory of bureaucracy, the findings underscore the dual roles middle managers play, as organizational lynchpins and leaders and as advocates for students, all while operating within constrained organizational structures. Key themes include varied levels of institutional knowledge, differential access to professional development, and constrained …

‘Not The Usual Gig’: The Personal Scope(S) Of Application Of Directive 2024/2831 On Improving Working Conditions In Platform Work, Nicola Countouris, Valerio De Stefano

Articles & Book Chapters

This article examines the complex and innovative personal scope of the EU Platform Work Directive 2024/2831, highlighting its dual framing around the concepts of ‘platform workers’ and the broader category of ‘persons performing platform work’. The authors explore how the Directive partially departs from traditional binary distinctions between employees and self-employed persons by introducing a more nuanced regulatory approach anchored in both labour law and data protection law. The article analyses the scope of key provisions of the Directive, showing how it confers many protections beyond the confines of the employment relationship. It critically evaluates the potential interpretive tensions between …

From Novice To Expert: A Quality Improvement Project For Novice Faculty Role Confidence, Delainey Asher

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

A major contributor to the overall nursing shortage is the lack of adequately prepared faculty. This is especially prevalent among novice educators who struggle with transitioning from clinical expert to novice educator. Novice educators report challenges with role confidence and limited knowledge of mentorship, contributing to retention and faculty development concerns. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to evaluate the impact of a targeted six-week educational intervention on novice nurse educators’ role confidence and knowledge of mentorship. Guided by the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) change framework, the project employed a repetitive cycle for improvement: identify the problem, plan and implement …

The Jokowi Effect On The Victory Of Prabowo: Do People Vote For Continuity?, Cakra Yudi Putra, Dyah Ayu Febriani, Andri Tantyo Cahyo Nugroho, Teguh Dartanto

Economics and Finance in Indonesia

The 2024 Indonesian presidential election marked a striking realignment as Prabowo Subianto—a former opposition leader—secured victory with the tacit endorsement of outgoing President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). This study investigates how the enduring popularity and policy achievements of Jokowi shaped voter preferences in favor of Prabowo, effectively positioning the election as a referendum on political continuity. Building on theories of economic voting and retrospective performance evaluation, the analysis explores the impact of district-level economic indicators, social media penetration, ideological orientation, social assistance distribution, and sociocultural characteristics on electoral outcomes. Employing Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression on data from 481 administrative regions, …

The Basics Of The Mundlak And Chamberlain Projections, Badi H. Baltagi, Tom Wansbeek

Center for Policy Research

One of the best-known results in panel data econometrics, due to Mundlak (1978), is the equality of the random-effects and fixed-effects estimators when the individual effects are correlated with the means over time of the regressors. Chamberlain (1980) showed that the same result holds when the individual effects are correlated with the regressors for all moments in time separately. In this chapter, we review basic elements of the Mundlak and Chamberlain projections. We emphasize the simplicity that is often obtained when the model is transformed into the within and between-model, following Arellano (1993). Topics that we discuss include the augmented …
