Meningioma Detection From Mri: A Comparative Study Of Deep Learning Models, A. H. Doha, Sandi Jennifer, Fatima Alabdaly

AUIQ Complementary Biological System

This study compares several deep learning models including DenseNet20, CNN, ResNet50, VGG19, EfficientNet-B3, MobileNetV2, NASNetMobile, Xception to automatically classify brain meningiomas from MRI scans. A public dataset was used to evaluate the proposed model. All models were trained, validated, and tested on this dataset. Because meningiomas are common and manual reads, the goal is to speed and standardize diagnosis. Our main contribution is pairing a high-accuracy classifier with deep learning models. Among all models, DenseNet201 performed best, reaching 0.991% accuracy and reliably separating tumorous from non-tumorous MRIs. Future work will expand the dataset and incorporate stronger segmentation to further boost …

Ignatian Pedagogy For Engaged, Reflective, And Inclusive Learning: New Insights On A Treasured Tradition, Jennifer Tilghman-Havens, Jennifer Loertscher, David Green, Kerry S. Von Esch

Jesuit Higher Education: A Journal

Ignatian pedagogy is the philosophy and methodology for teaching and learning that evolved from the wisdom accumulated from 500 years of Jesuit education. The Ignatian approach views education as a collaborative process that transforms students and teachers, preparing them for moral and ethical action in the world. While the core values of Jesuit education have remained constant, the changing demographics within our Jesuit communities and among the faculty and staff of our institutions offer an opportunity to celebrate its many intersections with peer-reviewed research on effective pedagogical approaches that center students and foster justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion. In this …

Integral Education, Institutional Solidarity: A Response To Arturo Sosa’S 2025 Iaju Address, Paul L. Lynch

Jesuit Higher Education: A Journal

During the 2025 meeting of the International Association of Jesuit Universities (IAJU) at the Pontifica Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Colombia, Jesuit Superior General Arturo Sosa offered the keynote address, “The Jesuit University: Witness to Hope, Creative and Dialogical Presence.” He urged the global university apostolate to respond to our common challenges: the climate crisis, political reactionism, institutional mistrust, and economic inequality. The Jesuit university, he insisted, must reimagine itself in order to respond to these threats. But the precise manner in which Jesuit universities should respond must still be articulated. This essay begins that project. It opens with an analysis …

Documenting Patterns Of Spring And Autumn Bird Bigration At Phillips Tract Research Area, A Stopover Site In The American Midwest, Janice K. Enos, Michael R. Avara, Tara A. Beveroth

North American Bird Bander

Stopover habitat, which is used by birds during migration to rest and refuel, is scarce in the American Midwest due to intensive agriculture. Protected woodlots and other small parcels of habitat do exist in the landscape, and may be important for migratory birds to utilize as stopover sites. Here, using mist netting techniques, we documented abundance and age specific patterns of spring and autumn migration at Phillips Tract Research Area, a protected parcel of land comprised of woodlots and mixed grassland plots. We found that 69 migratory species use this site as stopover habitat, and the most common (n ≥ …

An Assessment Of Career Development Affecting Factors In The Construction Industry From A Gender Perspective, Thuy Thi Nguyen, Toan Quoc Nguyen, Binh Thuy Pham

CIB Conferences

The Vietnamese construction industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with an average annual growth rate exceeding 8.0%. At this pace, the construction workforce is projected to reach approximately 12–13 million workers by 2030, of whom women are expected to account for around 10%. Despite their increasing participation, women are widely perceived to face greater challenges in career development than men within the construction sector. This paper aims to be an assessment of career development drivers in the construction industry from a gender perspective. A questionnaire survey was administered to 120 engineers to evaluate the influence of ten factors …

A Tqm-Based Conceptual Framework For Developing Quality Environments In Architecture And Planning Education, Thanh Trung Nguyen

CIB Conferences

Enhancing quality in higher education (HE), particularly in architecture and planning (A&P) education, requires moving beyond fragmented perspectives on learning environments toward more integrated and systemic approaches. This study addresses this need by developing a conceptual framework for the quality environment in A&P education based on Total Quality Management (TQM). Drawing on a theory-building methodology, the study synthesizes literature on HE quality, TQM, and learning environments, with particular attention to the pedagogical and contextual characteristics of A&P disciplines, through a thematic analysis and iterative abstraction process. The findings identify three core dimensions-physical, academic, and social environments-and integrate them into a …

Has The Construction Industry Become More Inclusive? A Diachronic Investigation Of Challenges And Changed Experiences Of Women In The Industry, Katerina Prevelianaki

CIB Conferences

A traditionally male dominated industry, construction always struggled to attract and retain women, and despite efforts and legislation encouraging equality and inclusion, women continue to be a minority in this space. Challenges women have faced have been documented; it is, nevertheless, unclear whether the same problems continue to occur in ways they did in the past, how the challenges have evolved over time, and how these have potentially brought a changed experience for women, while research investigating those issues diachronically is sparse. This paper adopts a retrospective approach on women in construction; it explores how the industry landscape has been …

The Impact Of Commute Length On Safety And Wellbeing In Uk Construction Workers, Amy Brandreth, Billy Hare, Kenneth Lawani

CIB Conferences

This paper, contributing a small part to a related PhD, uses a systematic literature review approach to examine the impact of commuting on fatigue, safety and wellbeing among construction workers. Eight empirical studies were analysed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis with three themes being identified: commute length, long working hours and commuting vs staying away from home. The results indicate that commutes can far exceed the UK average commute length, and this, combined with long working hours, reduces sleep opportunities. However, staying away from home introduces lifestyle and environmental factors, such as diet and exercise, which may also impair …

A.A. V. J.M.: The Virginia Court Of Appeals Excludes A Whole Class Of Prospective Adoptive Parents, Paul A. Dryer

Liberty University Law Review

A set of “bad facts” ultimately led to undesirable legal precedent and unintended consequences with respect to the “power to render” adoptions in Virginia. In 2019, Baby Doe was left orphaned in Afghanistan after her parents were killed as a result of military operations in the country. After Baby Doe was taken to the U.S. Bagram Air Force Base for treatment, Joshua Mast (J.M.)—a member of the Marine Corps Judge Advocate—attempted to obtain custody of Baby Doe out of fear for the adequacy of medical care if she were to remain in Afghanistan. J.M. and his wife petitioned the Fluvanna …
