Neurodiversity In Professional-Practice, Creative-Technical Disciplines In Third Level Education – Towards A Compassion-Based, Practical Toolkit Designed To Foster A Positive Environment, Brian Carty, Naoise Collins, Colm Delaney

Irish Journal of Academic Practice

This study examines neurodiversity within creative-technical disciplines in Irish higher education, focusing on how learning environments can both support and constrain neurodivergent students. Drawing on survey data from 198 students at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, supplemented by qualitative interviews, the research identifies a substantially higher self-reported prevalence of neurodivergence (45%) than is reflected in institutional records. Across both quantitative and qualitative data, clear communication, structured learning environments, and compassionate teaching practices emerge as critical factors in supporting student engagement and wellbeing. While flexibility in assessment and access to support services remain important, results indicate …

It was also revealed that the quality of digital information and its integration with technological services can increase the availability of financial services …

The Role Of Charitable Organisations In The Hidden Curriculum Of Dental Education, Casper Jonker, Alex Cresswell-Boyes, Safiya Robinson, Ness Avery, Wendy Smith

Peninsula Dental School

Background/Objectives: The hidden curriculum (HC) plays a central role in shaping professional identity in dental education, yet the contribution of charitable and third-sector organisations to this process remains underexamined relative to institutional culture, peer interaction, and clinical hierarchy. This paper examines how partnerships between dental schools and community charities, using the Peninsula Dental School (PDS)–Well Connected collaboration as a case example, function as a distinct source of hidden curriculum content. Methods: Drawing on hidden curriculum theory, communities of practice, and transformative learning as a framework, we review the published literature on charitable and community-based dental education and examine reflective accounts …

Morality And Me: An Investigation Of A Moral Framework For College Students, Jillian Lee Meyer '23, Ted Bitner

Student Research

How do college students explain their choices when everyday situations raise moral questions? This study examined the reasoning of 136 U.S. undergraduates across ten dilemmas involving friendships, coursework, employment, and social life. Participants chose a course of action and briefly explained why. Their written explanations were coded using six moral dimensions developed by the Prindle Institute for Ethics: consequences, intentions and motivations, principles and rights, care and relationships, virtues, and fairness. Across dilemmas, students most often emphasized consequences, followed by intentions and motivations. Other dimensions became more prominent in particular contexts: legal questions drew attention to principles and rights, while …

Which Creed? Whose Interpretation? The Filioque As A Test Case For Theological Method, John C. Peckham

Andrews University Seminary Studies (AUSS)

This article undertakes a brief assessment of competing methodological commitments relative to the dispute over the filioque clause in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed. In doing so, this article highlights how the filioque dispute exposes crucial methodological questions about the authority of tradition in relation to the authority of Scripture and the viability of employing creeds as methodologically normative in the doing of theology, especially relative to questions like: Which tradition? Which creed(s)? Which version of the selected creed(s)? Whose interpretation? Which doctrinal commitments? Using the filioque dispute as a test case, this article concludes that the many difficulties faced relative to …

Elisha The Steward: A Literary Examination Of Elisha’S Prophetic Ministry, Lee Hagewood

Andrews University Seminary Studies (AUSS)

This article examines the characterization of Elisha in Kings by considering the narrative’s presentation of how he attends to the people and tasks entrusted to him; an aspect of his characterization that I refer to as “stewardship.” This literary examination proceeds by examining Elisha’s call, his ministry within the Israelite community, and his ministry as it relates to the geopolitical conditions depicted in the narrative. Evaluating Elisha’s stewardship within the Israelite community involves an investigation of his interactions with both the Shunammite woman and the “sons of the prophets.” A similar evaluation of his geopolitical ministry investigates his response to …

From Strategic Ambiguity To Operational Alignment: Neuro-Symbolic Ai As A Communication Infrastructure For Translating Business Value, Cedric Roland Berger, Joachim Dehais

Global Advances in Business Communication

Large-scale transformation programs routinely fail, and the explanations typically point to governance, leadership, or technology. This article argues that a deeper cause is often overlooked: the failure to preserve shared meaning as strategy travels through the organization. Concepts like "value", "innovation", "transformation" or "business impact" anchor executive discourse but remain under-specified where execution happens. Drawing on the distinction between meaning as formal reference and meaning as contextual use (Wittgenstein, 1953), and building on sense-making and communication-as-constitutive-of-organization research, we frame strategic misalignment as a breakdown in how meaning is translated across organizational levels. We call the cumulative effect a semantic drift …

Related Arts Teachers In A Professional Learning Community: On The Phenomenon Of Implementation, Noah Friedman

Journal of Practitioner Research

In recent decades, the popularity of teacher collaboration and data-driven instructional practices has seen the increased use of the professional learning community (PLC) model as a method for school improvement. Within the PLC framework are singletons, educators who are the only ones who teach their subject in their buildings (Hansen, 2015). In elementary school settings, related arts teams (e.g. music, art, physical education, and so on) are often included in a PLC as an afterthought. To accommodate the distinctive needs of this team, I created an intervention tool and method to provide support to related arts teams as they implement …

Could 'Real Existing Ai' Be Sentient?, Tim Crane

Animal Sentience

Jonathan Birch is rightly sceptical about the idea that today’s AI machines (e.g. LLMs) are candidates for sentience. Nonetheless, he gives three reasons for taking the future possibility of AI sentience seriously. I dispute them all. Birch fails to distinguish the very idea of an artificial mind from computational AI (what I call ‘Real Existing AI’); he does not adequately distinguish a simulation from a replica or copy; and he fails to acknowledge that the appeal to computational functionalism in this context is straightforwardly question-begging.

What War Games Actually Teach: Threat Recognition, Not Prediction, Charles Edward Gehrke

Naval War College Press Preprints

Despite long-standing in-house and public interest in USN war gaming, new technologies and geopolitical realities have left the practice in waters of unknown depth and contours. Finding a way forward will require leaving behind the fog of unvarnished praise and criticism and answering the following question: What benefit do war games actually deliver?
