Artificial Intelligence In Science Education: Toward An Evidence-Informed Framework For Inclusive Teaching, Learning, And Assessment, Jamil Suprihatiningrum Oct 2026

Artificial Intelligence In Science Education: Toward An Evidence-Informed Framework For Inclusive Teaching, Learning, And Assessment, Jamil Suprihatiningrum

Jurnal Pendidikan dan Pembelajaran

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into science education, offering opportunities to support instruction, learning, and assessment. However, evidence of AI’s instructional benefits does not necessarily demonstrate its effectiveness in addressing barriers to inclusive participation in scientific learning.

Objectives: This study critically synthesizes evidence on AI applications in science education, examines the extent to which existing research supports claims of inclusive educational practice and outcomes, and develops an evidence-informed conceptual framework for evaluating AI-supported inclusion.

Methods: A critical, evidence-informed conceptual synthesis was conducted using selected empirical and conceptual literature on AI-supported science education, inclusive pedagogy, assessment, and responsible AI. …

Factors Associated With The Incidence Of Hypertension In Young Adults (20–24 Years) In Central Kalimantan Province (Analysis Of Ski 2023 Data), Indira Paramesti, Ratu Ayu Dewi Sartika, Diah Mulyawati Utari, Kusharisupeni Joko Suyono Oct 2026

Factors Associated With The Incidence Of Hypertension In Young Adults (20–24 Years) In Central Kalimantan Province (Analysis Of Ski 2023 Data), Indira Paramesti, Ratu Ayu Dewi Sartika, Diah Mulyawati Utari, Kusharisupeni Joko Suyono

Indonesian Journal of Public Health Nutrition (IJPHN)

Hypertension has been identified as a major public health problem leading to premature death and contributing to the development of various non-communicable diseases. In recent years, it has occurred not only among older populations but also among young adults. Hypertension at a young age can result in earlier organ damage, leading to a more rapid decline in quality of life and productivity. This study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with the incidence of hypertension among young adults aged 20–24 years in Central Kalimantan Province in 2023. A cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing secondary data from the 2023 Indonesian …


Dicta’S Danger: The Lingering Nuisance Of Abel V. United States, Meg Penrose Oct 2026

Dicta’S Danger: The Lingering Nuisance Of Abel V. United States, Meg Penrose

University of Miami Law Review

This Article urges judges and lawyers to avoid relying on dicta when making legal claims. Dicta can cause confusion and generate incorrect legal conclusions. The most recent instance of dicta’s danger involves legal guidance on immigration arrests provided by the Department of Homeland Security’s General Counsel. Counsel erroneously relies on dicta from a 1960 Supreme Court case, Abel v. United States, in advising that law enforcement can legally enter a home armed solely with an administrative immigration arrest warrant. They cannot. The cited dicta precede binding Supreme Court precedent holding that the Fourth Amendment draws a firm line at …


Preserving Pickering, Deepa Das Acevedo Oct 2026

Preserving Pickering, Deepa Das Acevedo

University of Miami Law Review

In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the terminations of employees across dozens of industries and geopolitical environments shocked Americans into wondering whether they had workplace speech rights at all. Indeed, the promise of workplace speech freedom has been narrowing for decades—even for public employees, who enjoy more protections than private employees thanks to the Supreme Court’s landmark 1968 decision Pickering v. Board of Education.

Pickering held that the First Amendment prevents a public employer from summarily dismissing employees based on private speech regarding matters of public concern. Although Pickering’s protections have been narrowed and although they formally …


Cruel By Design: Reclaiming The Eighth Amendment From The Feasible-Alternative Requirement, Heath C. Newman Oct 2026

Cruel By Design: Reclaiming The Eighth Amendment From The Feasible-Alternative Requirement, Heath C. Newman

University of Miami Law Review

For more than two centuries, the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on “cruel and unusual punishments” has stood as a safeguard against the barbarous and excessive exercise of state power. Rooted in the English Bill of Rights of 1689 and adopted by Framers who denounced torturous punishments, the Amendment was designed to protect the condemned from needless suffering. Yet, under the Supreme Court’s modern method-of-execution jurisprudence, that protection no longer turns on whether the state’s chosen method will inflict extreme pain, but on whether the prisoner can identify a feasible alternative way to die. The feasible-alternative requirement—developed in Baze v. Rees, Glossip …


Frictionless Fans, Fragmented Law: A Hybrid Approach To Regulating Stadium Biometrics, Janaye K.S. Dowers Oct 2026

Frictionless Fans, Fragmented Law: A Hybrid Approach To Regulating Stadium Biometrics, Janaye K.S. Dowers

University of Miami Law Review

The future of stadium entry may require no ticket at all, just a face. Across the United States, stadiums are increasingly replacing traditional tickets, credentials, and payment methods with biometric identification systems designed to move thousands of fans through gates and concessions with unprecedented speed. However, the law governing these systems remains far less seamless. In the absence of comprehensive federal biometric legislation, stadium operators, technology vendors, and attendees must navigate a fragmented patchwork of state and local laws that provides inconsistent protections and leaves fundamental questions of accountability unresolved.

Using stadiums as a case study for the expanding private-sector …


“It Is The ,,I,, I Write About”: José Garcia Villa’S Conceptualization Of The Poet In “A ,,Composition,,”, Nathan Timothy Y. Chan Oct 2026

“It Is The ,,I,, I Write About”: José Garcia Villa’S Conceptualization Of The Poet In “A ,,Composition,,”, Nathan Timothy Y. Chan

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

The poems of José Garcia Villa are eccentric, and it would seem that it is on account of this eccentricity that most scholarship on Villa has thus sharply turned, instead, to Villa’s critical essays on Philippine literature in English so as to excavate from that rich reservoir of thought some small Villean insight capable of furthering a politics-centered reading of Villa’s works. Thus, critics of Villa’s works unintentionally neglect a serious discussion of the themes of Villa’s poetry. Because of this facet of Villean scholarship, this article responds by, first, demonstrating that Villa’s critical essays can be read as philosophical …


“To A Cupped Hand’S Size”: Reading Poetics Of Scale In Edith Tiempo’S Poetry, Thomas Leonard D. Shaw Oct 2026

“To A Cupped Hand’S Size”: Reading Poetics Of Scale In Edith Tiempo’S Poetry, Thomas Leonard D. Shaw

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

Edith Cutaran Lopez-Tiempo’s body of work, alongside her stature as Philippine National Artist for Literature, has generated substantial scholarship on the fertile imaginaries and intersections of formalist poetics, the institutionalization of the writing workshop, and Philippine poetry in English. Building on these contributions, I turn instead to Tiempo’s negotiation of self-fashioning, memory work, and imaginative practice as a way of articulating questions of scale in her oeuvre. By reading a selection of poems from several of her poetry collections, I argue that reading Tiempo’s sustained engagement with strategies of disclosure and scale, as well as her preoccupation with the intimacy …


The Irresolution Of Genre In Edith Tiempo’S The Builder, Kaisa R. Aquino Oct 2026

The Irresolution Of Genre In Edith Tiempo’S The Builder, Kaisa R. Aquino

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

The tradition and history of detective fiction in the Philippines remain a slim and largely untheorized terrain, and Edith Tiempo’s contribution to the genre with her fifth and last novel, The Builder (2003), has yet to receive critical attention. This paper takes the novel as its primary text and argues that the quasi-detective and the criminal, both indigenous subjects, produce a critical tension that is illegible to the generic framework of Western detective fiction. While the novel succeeds in deploying genre conventions, such as the analysis of signs through textual and material evidence, the contract of resolution through the assertion …


Essentializing The Ifugao For The National Allegory In F. Sionil Jose’S “The God Stealer”, Lioba E. Piluden Oct 2026

Essentializing The Ifugao For The National Allegory In F. Sionil Jose’S “The God Stealer”, Lioba E. Piluden

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

Postcolonial writing in the Philippines turned towards the indigenous Filipino, “the tribal Filipino, or the poor Filipino least touched by colonial culture” (Roces 1994, 300) to become a vessel for an elusive national identity. One of the creatures to arise from this milieu of Philippine literature was F. Sionil Jose’s “The God Stealer” (1959), a short story often read as an allegory of Philippine-American relations or the Filipino native rejecting colonial power by returning to their roots. It is also Jose’s most anthologized short story. Despite readings of “The God Stealer” generally falling into the groove of postcolonial analysis, little …


Bansa At Kapuluan: Notes On The Archipelagic Nuance Of Bienvenido Lumbera’S Discourse Of The Region And Nationhood, Adhoniz B. Rebong Oct 2026

Bansa At Kapuluan: Notes On The Archipelagic Nuance Of Bienvenido Lumbera’S Discourse Of The Region And Nationhood, Adhoniz B. Rebong

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

This paper explores a re-reading of the ‘region’ that appears in National Artist Bienvenido Lumbera’s advocacy for valuing regional literature as a foundation of a strong national literature. His discourse against the othering of the regional literature as ‘vernacular’ is encapsuled in the philosophy of his works: that the region represents a precise, immediate worldview, while the national offers a wider, encompassing perspective of the Filipinos (Lumbera 156). Lumbera’s discourse of the nation and the region is revisited by this paper in the lens of Archipelagic studies, specifically using the kapuluan as a Philippine conceptual iteration. In essence this paper …

Ang Arkipelagotiko Sa Galaw Ng Asoge Ni Cirilo F. Bautista(The Archipelagothic In Cirilo F. Bautista’S Galaw Ng Asoge [The Movement Of Mercury]), Genevieve Asenjo

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

Binabasa ng sanaysay ang Galaw ng Asoge (2014), ang nag-iisang nobela sa Tagalog ni Cirilo F. Bautista, sa pamamagitan ng arkipelagotiko bilang relasyonal na metodo ng pagbasa. Ipinapanukalang nagiging arkipelagotiko ang nobela sa pagtatagpo ng magkakahiwalay ngunit nag-uugnayang salaysay, materyal na kasaysayan ng mga bahay, at hindi pantay na kakayahan ng mga tauhang gumalaw at magsalita. Ginagamit ang mga salitang pansuri na pagmumulto, pag-uulit, at pagitan sa tatlong magkakaugnay na aspekto: ang metakathang anyo ng nobela, ang mga bahay ng Ortiz at Zorilla bilang lugar ng kolonyal na yaman at patriyarkal na karahasan, at ang asoge bilang talinhaga ng pagkilos. …


“And Why Here?” Reading Hong Kong In Nick Joaquin’S The Woman Who Had Two Navels, Raymon D. Ritumban Oct 2026

“And Why Here?” Reading Hong Kong In Nick Joaquin’S The Woman Who Had Two Navels, Raymon D. Ritumban

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

Nick Joaquin (1917–2004) is a Filipino literary master and national artist whose numerous works include the prize-winning novel The Woman Who Had Two Navels (1961). Its plot revolves around the Manilan protagonist Connie Escobar’s flight into Hong Kong and her insistence that “she [has] two navels” (1). Her assertion is complicated by her request for Hong Kong-born-and-based Pepe Monson to perform “an operation” on them (1). While this curious premise has generated numerous analyses over time, the novel’s setting—that is, post-1945 Hong Kong—remains understudied. Addressing this gap, the paper offers a geocritical intervention examining the historical conditions and spatial production …


“The River’S Tent Is Broken/Wasak Ang Kubol Ng Dagat”: The Modern And The Nation In Bienvenido Lumbera’S Ang Pagas Na Lupain, Susan Mila P. Alvarez-Tosalem Oct 2026

“The River’S Tent Is Broken/Wasak Ang Kubol Ng Dagat”: The Modern And The Nation In Bienvenido Lumbera’S Ang Pagas Na Lupain, Susan Mila P. Alvarez-Tosalem

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

In 1971, Philippine National Artist Bienvenido Lumbera translated one of the most outstanding examples of world literature, T. S. Eliot’s modernist poem, The Waste Land, into Filipino. At the time, Lumbera had just earned his PhD from Indiana University as a Fulbright scholar. Naturally, his colonial education and aesthetic preference shaped his approach as a critic and scholar. However, Lumbera’s “radical transformation” became evident in 1968, in the midst of growing discontent with the neocolonial government (Veric 140). This paper underscores, therefore, the centrality of translation in world literature, especially in the context of a single “world literary system” (Moretti …


Designing The Misfit Through Re-Ordering Of Fragmented Materials, Mochammad Suva Nugraha Oct 2026

Designing The Misfit Through Re-Ordering Of Fragmented Materials, Mochammad Suva Nugraha

ARSNET

This study explores how architectural order can be shaped by misfit, focusing on the reuse of building-material fragments as a means of exploration. Existing discourse of architectural order aims to eliminate misfit to achieve the condition of fit. In architecture, misfits such as cracks, breaks, and irregularities are commonly treated as flaws requiring correction. Nevertheless, certain construction practices may enable transformation of these misfits into design opportunities. This study qualitatively examines the use of broken floor tiles at Wisma Kuwera, Semarang, Central Java, to investigate how material misfit can be designed into architectural order. Data were collected through field observations, …


Multisensory Astrotourism Design Through Darkness Experiences, Wiwien Phen, Adriyan Kusuma Oct 2026

Multisensory Astrotourism Design Through Darkness Experiences, Wiwien Phen, Adriyan Kusuma

ARSNET

The growing interest in astrotourism has positioned night sky as an important tourism resource. However, existing astrotourism facilities often focus primarily on observation infrastructure, while paying less attention to the spatial experiences that shape visitors' journeys before, during, and after observation. This design study explores an experiential astrotourism that engage with various degree of dark conditions and prepare visitors for night-sky observations. It questions how architecture can shape the spatial and sensory transition in visitors' night-sky observational experience through a design exploration of a Milky Way-themed astrotourism attraction in Pangalengan, Bandung.

The study integrates discourse on dark-sky experience, experiential architecture, …

Tracing Graffiti: Negotiating Lived Urban Surfaces, Akinaura Irbah Priambudi, Multazam Akbar Junaedi, Ilena Nusky Mehdia, Eugenia Emmanuella Setiawan, Defry Agatha Ardianta

ARSNET

This paper examines surfaces as a selective, successive platform for shared spatial negotiations. It explores how layers of traces on surfaces accumulate through subsequent acts by multiple actors over time, offering a way to understand ongoing negotiations of urban space. This study focuses on graffiti as material traces in urban surfaces, produced from temporary acts of writing and the articulation of spatiality within the environment. Through a case study in Surabaya, Indonesia, this research examines graffiti, reconstructs its presence on an urban wall, and investigates how its contextual presence, actors' interactions, and spatial relationships are articulated in layers over time. …


Resurrecting Section 3 Of The Clayton Act, Michael Swerdlow Oct 2026

Resurrecting Section 3 Of The Clayton Act, Michael Swerdlow

University of Miami Law Review

Section 3 of the Clayton Act was meant to supplement the Sherman Act with a more stringent prohibition of restrictive sales practices. The Supreme Court repeatedly held that section 3’s text is unambiguous and rejects the Sherman Act’s rule of reason. Yet since the 1980s, lower courts have effectively nullified section 3 by applying rule of reason analysis, treating section 3 as superfluous to the Sherman Act. This shift, unsupported by empirical evidence, relied on Chicago and Harvard school scholarship that redefined the meaning of “competition” and argued for the unification of both statutes. This Article demonstrates that unification constitutes …

Facilitating Peer Tutoring In Islamic Religious Education: A Multiple-Case Study Of Students’ Affective Experiences, Izzatul Mahya, Purnomo Purnomo, Nur Faizatul Zehan Saari Oct 2026

Facilitating Peer Tutoring In Islamic Religious Education: A Multiple-Case Study Of Students’ Affective Experiences, Izzatul Mahya, Purnomo Purnomo, Nur Faizatul Zehan Saari

Jurnal Pendidikan dan Pembelajaran

Background: In Islamic Religious Education in junior high schools, students may feel afraid, embarrassed, or lacking in confidence when asking questions. How peer tutoring is facilitated and experienced affectively remains little studied in this subject.

Objectives: This study describes how teachers and peer tutors enact facilitation, how the tutor and the tutee relate it to their affective experiences, and how tutor-tutee familiarity shapes these experiences.

Methods: A qualitative multiple-case study was conducted at a public junior high school and a madrasah tsanawiyah. Six participants (one teacher, one tutor, and one tutee per site) were purposively selected. Data were collected through …

Transformative Learning Through Indigenous Value Internalisation: An Ethnopedagogical Study Of Leuweng Titipan, Qoriah Rahmawati, Asep Muhyidin, Anton Irawan, Ujang Jamaludin

Jurnal Pendidikan dan Pembelajaran

Background: Indigenous knowledge and customary practices offer insights into how cultural values are learned and transmitted across generations. However, the relationship between these processes and formal learning management requires careful conceptual examination.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the values and reported learning mechanisms associated with Leuweng Titipan in the Kesepuhan Cibadak community and reconstruct them into a conceptual learning management model.

Methods: This qualitative study adopted an ethnopedagogical perspective and used ethnographic interviews with eight informants in Lebak Regency, Banten, from June to August 2026. Data were analyzed inductively through repeated reading, initial coding, comparison across participants, and theme …

Beyond Academic Access: An Abstract-Based Narrative Synthesis Of Psychological Wellbeing Social Inclusion And Educational Support For Students With Special Educational Needs, Nurul Hidayah, Nur Andini Sudirman, Muhammad Ilyas, Tirta Cahyani, Atika Tiara Syafitri

Jurnal Pendidikan dan Pembelajaran

Background: Educational placement does not necessarily secure psychological well-being, reciprocal relationships, participation, or responsive support for students with special educational needs.

Objectives: This abstract-based narrative synthesis examined review materials describing a curated Scopus corpus of 110 records published between 2023 and 2026.

Methods: Forty records were presented in four thematic evidence matrices, while 70 supplied contextual material. Extraction was restricted to metadata, abstracts, and the available summary matrices; primary-study full texts were not systematically assessed, and no formal risk-of-bias assessment was performed. Evidence was organized around psychological resources, relational inclusion, educational supports, and institutional responsiveness.

Results: Reported associations connected self-efficacy, …


Beyond Abstracts: Reflections On Locating Institutional Ethnography Studies In Bibliographic Databases And Navigating The Social Organization Of Knowledge, Sonya Hill Oct 2026

Beyond Abstracts: Reflections On Locating Institutional Ethnography Studies In Bibliographic Databases And Navigating The Social Organization Of Knowledge, Sonya Hill

Journal of Institutional Ethnography

This article draws on the challenges encountered, discoveries made, and search strategies employed during a scoping review of Institutional Ethnography (IE). While informed by that review process, the article is not a scoping review and does not present review findings. Rather, it reflects on the practical difficulties of locating IE studies in bibliographic databases and offers guidance for researchers seeking to identify, retrieve, and enhance the visibility of IE scholarship. Grounded in my efforts to locate IE studies, the article uses those experiences as an entry point for reflecting on the social organization of knowledge and how database indexing, metadata, …


Examining The Organization Of Student Work And Wellbeing In Higher Music Education, Kyle Zavitz, Liliana Araújo, Christine Guptill Oct 2026

Examining The Organization Of Student Work And Wellbeing In Higher Music Education, Kyle Zavitz, Liliana Araújo, Christine Guptill

Journal of Institutional Ethnography

This article investigates how music students’ work is institutionally coordinated within a higher school of music in Canada and how this shapes student health and wellbeing. This study reveals a problematic in students’ everyday experiences as the work required to succeed extends beyond what is formally recognized and made visible through institutional structures. Using Institutional Ethnography as the method of inquiry, we begin from the standpoint of music students, exploring the local and extra-local relations that coordinate what and how they do their work. Through interviews with students, faculty, and administrators, we trace students’ negotiation of contradictory discourses of ‘care’ …


Recent Case: Executive Power - The Supreme Court Relies On Historical Context To Protect The Federal Reserve's Independence In Trump V. Cook, Charles Britton Oct 2026

Recent Case: Executive Power - The Supreme Court Relies On Historical Context To Protect The Federal Reserve's Independence In Trump V. Cook, Charles Britton

ConLawNOW

The Supreme Court in Trump v Cook carved out an exception for the Federal Reserve Bank to the unfettered right of the president to terminate administrative employees at will, a right it established the same day in Trump v. Slaughter. Rather than entirely eliminating the need for “cause,” the Court maintained the requirement in the bank context and defined it as something more than just a reason to dispose of a political adversary. The Court relied on historical and traditional support for insulating the Federal Reserve and pragmatism to protect against national economic turmoil. This Note explains how the …

Recent Case: Equal Protection - Transgender Discrimination In Women's Sports: West Virginia V B.P.J., Joey Martinez

ConLawNOW

This Recent Case Note analyzes the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in West Virginia v. B.P.J. (2026) in which the Court upheld state laws banning transgender women and girls from competing on women’s and girls’ sports teams. By holding that the state bans were justified by concerns with physical safety and fair competition, the Court rejected a claim that the bans violated the Equal Protection Clause and applied an arguably less demanding heightened scrutiny standard than its prior cases seemingly required. The Court deferred to the state legislatures on the contested questions of medical and sports science, applying a weakened “new …

Affirmative Action For Women In Higher Education And Stem: A Policy Framework To Transform India’S Scientific Landscape, Dileep Verma, Pushpender Yadav, Shashikant Nishant Sharma Oct 2026

Affirmative Action For Women In Higher Education And Stem: A Policy Framework To Transform India’S Scientific Landscape, Dileep Verma, Pushpender Yadav, Shashikant Nishant Sharma

Journal of International Women's Studies

This brief proposes an outcomes-oriented affirmative-action framework to accelerate women’s participation and leadership across India’s higher education and STEM pipeline, aligning national priorities for a “Self-reliant India” (Atmanirbhar Bharat) with the United Nation’s SDG-5 (gender equality). Near-parity in overall HE enrolment contrasts with women’s underrepresentation in engineering/technology programmes, research roles, and senior faculty positions as revealed by the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) (Department of Science & Technology, n.d.-a; Ministry of Education, 2020; Sahay, 2022). Supernumerary seats, re-entry fellowships, and pilot programmes (e.g., KIRAN/WOS, GATI, WEST) show promise but lack scale, evaluation, and accountability linkages (Department of Science …
