Geopolitical Legitimacy Contestation Of The 2026 Iran War In Al-Jazeera: A Critical Discourse Analysis, Doni Firdaus, Fahmy Lukman

Journal Of Middle East and Islamic Studies

This study investigates the discursive strategies and geopolitical legitimacy contestation surrounding the 2026 conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel, as reported by Al-Jazeera Arabic. Utilizing Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework-comprising textual analysis, discourse practice, and sociocultural practice-the research decodes how media language constructs power relations and ideological hegemony. The data is sourced from ten purposively sampled Al-Jazeera reports, spanning multiple journalistic genres, published between February and March 2026. The findings reveal a significant discursive shift in Al-Jazeera's editorial framing. Textually, the use of symmetric prepositions such as "بين" (between) and the juxtaposition of …

Neurint In The Age Of Generative Agentic Ai: A Proposed Paradigm For Left-Of-Bang Strategic Deterrence, James Giordano, Elise Annett Jul 2026

Neurint In The Age Of Generative Agentic Ai: A Proposed Paradigm For Left-Of-Bang Strategic Deterrence, James Giordano, Elise Annett

Strategic Insights

This commentary focuses on how neurocognitive intelligence, or NEURINT, could be operationalized through generative agentic artificial intelligence to strengthen anticipatory intelligence and left-of-bang deterrence. NEURINT combines neuroscience, psychology, behavioral science, computational modeling, and traditional intelligence to better understand the cognitive, emotional, cultural, and organizational factors shaping adversary decision-making. This piece looks at how agentic AI, large-scale data integration, cognitive digital twins, and probabilistic forecasting could help intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance identify behavioral patterns, escalation thresholds, vulnerabilities, and potential intervention points before hostile activity becomes operational. It also emphasizes that AI should augment and not replace human analysts. Human judgment, ethical …

Knowledge, Attitudes, And Practices By Women In Cartagena Regarding Breast Self-Examination, Rafael Arnedo Martínez, Keidis Ruidiaz Gómez Jul 2026

Knowledge, Attitudes, And Practices By Women In Cartagena Regarding Breast Self-Examination, Rafael Arnedo Martínez, Keidis Ruidiaz Gómez

Jurnal Keperawatan Indonesia

Breast self-examination (BSE), especially when adopted by vulnerable populations, serves as a vital mechanism for the timely detection of breast abnormalities indicative of cancer. As a result, this decreases the public health burden associated with treatment at advanced stages. Therefore, assessing knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding this simple early detection method is a priority. This study examines the relationship between KAP concerning BSE among women in Cartagena, Colombia. A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted with 322 women attending a healthcare facility. Data were gathered using two tools: a sociodemographic profile and a KAP questionnaire. Results showed that most participants …

The Human Side Of Policy: Rural Teachers And Alberta’S 2024 Mobile Device Ban, Kelly A. Smith Jul 2026

The Human Side Of Policy: Rural Teachers And Alberta’S 2024 Mobile Device Ban, Kelly A. Smith

Journal of Nonprofit Innovation

Technology-restrictive educational policies are increasingly shaping classroom practice, yet limited qualitative research has examined how teachers experience implementing these mandates in rural contexts. This study explored how rural elementary teachers experienced Alberta’s 2024 Ministerial Order banning personal mobile devices during instructional time. Using a phenomenological approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight rural elementary teachers and analyzed through reflexive thematic analysis. Four themes emerged: policy ambiguity, reduced professional autonomy, emotional labour, and leadership as a mediating force. Findings suggest the policy functioned as more than a classroom technology restriction, shaping trust, instructional flexibility, teacher well-being, and school relationships. The study …

Mental Health Professional Preparedness To Address Mental Health Stigma And Challenges In Military Populations, Scott Martin Katzka Jul 2026

Mental Health Professional Preparedness To Address Mental Health Stigma And Challenges In Military Populations, Scott Martin Katzka

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Veterans and service members often delay or avoid engaging in mental health services because of stigma experienced during military service and after transitioning to civilian life, contributing to worsening mental health outcomes. Although mental health professionals (MHPs) with military cultural competence can reduce stigma and improve engagement in care, little is known about how newly trained MHPs perceive their preparedness to effectively serve this population. The purpose of this hermeneutic, phenomenological study was to answer the question of what the lived experiences of new MHPs regarding their preparedness were to support veterans and service members experiencing mental health stigma. Seven …

Journal of ICSAR

The development of digital learning resources has become increasingly important in elementary education to support twenty-first-century competencies, particularly creative thinking. In Indonesian language learning, poster-making activities provide opportunities for students to express ideas through verbal and visual elements; however, classroom practices are still often dominated by teacher-centered instruction and limited use of interactive media that accommodate diverse learner needs. This study aimed to develop a Project-Based Learning (PjBL)-based digital module for poster-making to support the creative thinking skills of third-grade elementary school students. The study employed Design-Based Research (DBR), consisting of four stages: needs analysis, design and development, implementation, and …

School of Interdisciplinary Programs & Community Engagement Faculty Publications

In November, 2022, the giant cryptocurrency exchange FTX filed for bankruptcy. The financial fallout from that event, including two bank failures, made crypto politically radioactive. Yet less than three years later, crypto, like Donald Trump himself, staged a triumphant Second Coming, as the President signed into law the so-called “GENIUS Act” – short for Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins. Analysts have traced the industry’s phoenix-like resurrection, showing how key crypto billionaires and companies aligned with Trump early in the 2024 campaign, transforming him from a skeptic into a political champion. But the flip side of the story …

Governance, Culture, And Law: The Expanding Scope Of Environmental Science And Sustainable Development Research, Ahyaudin Sodri, Herdis Herdiansyah Jul 2026

Governance, Culture, And Law: The Expanding Scope Of Environmental Science And Sustainable Development Research, Ahyaudin Sodri, Herdis Herdiansyah

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Environmental science emerged as a discipline based on physical measurements, such as soil pollutant levels (Ailijiang et al., 2022), ecological restoration (Yue et al., 2026), city surface temperature (Shafizadeh-Moghadam et al., 2025), and microbial density in air samples (Hayleeyesus & Manaye, 2014). However, its objects of study increasingly extend beyond the confines of the laboratory. Questions that were once sufficiently answered with measurement data now require answers through draft laws, Constitutional Court decisions, financial reports of mining companies, and even traditional ritual discourses governing community access to forests. In other words, environmental …

Who’S To Blame? The Politics Of Recognition In Ayta Land Claims Under Ipra, John Albert R. Dela Rosa Jul 2026

Who’S To Blame? The Politics Of Recognition In Ayta Land Claims Under Ipra, John Albert R. Dela Rosa

Social Sciences and Development Review

With the enactment of the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act (IPRA) in 1997, the Philippines became one of the first Asian countries to legally recognize and protect the rights of Indigenous Peoples. Yet many Indigenous communities continue to struggle to realize the very promises that the law was intended to fulfill. This paper therefore examines how IPRA has shaped—and continues to shape—the Ayta’s efforts to assert ownership and control over their ancestral domain. Drawing on multi-sited ethnography conducted in selected Ayta communities, the study reveals that IPRA remains a paradox. While it has heightened the Ayta’s awareness of their rights and …
