Evolving Conservation: The Role Of Unconventional Approaches To Restore Contemporary Vertebrate Populations And Genomic Biodiversity, Bridgett M. Von Holdt, Matt James, Stephen J. Gaughran, Alexandra L. Decandia, Klaus-Peter Koepfli, Dan Flores, Nucharin Songsasen, Kristin Brzeski, Evelyn L. Jensen

Michigan Tech Publications

Conservation biology and restoration ecology are two essential yet distinct disciplines that address the growing challenge of biodiversity loss. Traditionally, these fields have relied on ecological principles and management practices aimed at protecting or reestablishing natural systems. The crisis is no longer just ecological it is evolutionary and genomic. The accelerating pace of environmental change has outstripped the capacity of conventional approaches, creating a pressing need for innovative solutions. Biotechnology offers potentially transformative tools that can enhance the effectiveness and precision of both conservation and restoration efforts, especially for species where conventional conservation approaches have proven insufficient. Techniques such as …

Sustainable Choices, Generational Voices: Unraveling The Green Buying Behavior Of Millennials And Zoomers Using The Theory Of Planned Behavior, Bhadra Thulaseedharan Pillai, Aishwarya Nagarathinam, Shikha Bhagat, Senthilmurugan Paramasivan

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Younger generations have begun to change their purchasing behaviour in response to growing environmental concerns and global sustainability efforts. This research evaluates the eco-friendly shopping habits of Zoomers (born 1997–2012) and Millennials (born 1981–1996) in India. The research employs the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to analyse how the stewardship model, subjective norms, perceived consumer effectiveness, environmental attitudes and ecological values influence green product buying behaviour. A quantitative research design was adopted, and data were collected from 391 respondents across urban, semi-urban, and rural regions using a structured questionnaire. The relationship between the constructs were examined using structural equation modelling …

Modification Patents Across Multiple Ndas In Pharmaceutical Protections, Robin C. Feldman, Ramy Alsaffar, Tanziuzzaman Sakib

Faculty Scholarship

Introduction Our study examines modification patents across multiple New Drug Applications (NDAs), employed by pharmaceutical companies to extend patent protections. Ours is the only comprehensive study of modification patents by Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) across multiple NDAs, the approach of current regulatory initiatives, investigating how these patents extend drug protections and impede generic entry.

Methods We examine 1028 modification patents, categorizing them as chemical variations, formulation changes, treatment methods, or device/agent. We tabulated additional granted protection time, correlations with new NDAs, and litigation from potential generics.

Results On average, 5 modification patents protected each drug, extending granted protection periods by …

An Integrated Value Chain Analysis Of Large Cardmom (Amomum Subulatum Roxb): A Case Of Bhutan, Laxmi Chetri, Muneer Ahmad Magry

Forest and Society

This study explores the value chain of large cardamom in Tsirang, Bhutan, through a field survey of 260 households engaged in cardamom farming, using a semi-structured questionnaire. The findings reveal a relatively simple value chain: upstream actors include both male and female farmers who cultivate, harvest, and dry the cardamom, while downstream actors are primarily male local and regional traders who purchase, transport, store, and export the product. Women are largely confined to upstream roles, with limited or no participation in downstream activities. The relationship between farmers and traders is predominantly transactional, lacking formal contracts or advance financing. A cost-benefit …

Effects Of An International Teaching Experience On Pre-Service Teacher Self-Efficacy, Janet George, Jared Johnston

International Christian Community of Teacher Educators Journal

This study investigated the effect of faculty mentoring on the self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service teacher (PST) candidates. Between 2023 and 2024, eight PSTs took part in a two-week international teaching experience. The overall experience was built on Bandura’s sources of self-efficacy (1997). For the study, we used Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk-Hoy’s Teacher Sense of Self-Efficacy Scale (1998) to measure the PSTs’ sense of self-efficacy before and after the experience. We utilized a convergent mixed-methods research design to gain a comprehensive understanding of the effect of faculty mentoring upon the PSTs’ sense of self-efficacy. The results of our study showed that faculty …

The rapid advancement of computing technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping both society and the educational landscape. This study examines faculty experiences and attitudes toward the role of AI in teaching and research within the distinct context of Christian higher education. While recognizing the potential of AI to drive educational innovation, this research also addresses significant faculty concerns regarding the implications for academic integrity, critical thinking, and intellectual property. Specifically, the study investigates faculty perspectives on data security and privacy, the reproduction of creative expression in art and music, and the broader impact of AI on the liberal …

Teacher Identity Formation In A Christian University: Expectations And Experiences, Heather J. S. Birch

International Christian Community of Teacher Educators Journal

This qualitative phenomenological study examines the alignment between applicants’ expectations and graduating candidates’ lived experiences in a teacher education program at a Christian university. Drawing on data from 166 participants collected during application interviews and final capstone conversations, the research explores how candidates anticipated and later reflected on the program’s faith integration, community, and professional formation. Findings reveal that most candidates’ expectations were met or exceeded, highlighting three key shifts: faith experienced as lived values within an inclusive community; unexpected depth of relational support from faculty and peers; and meaningful professional and personal growth rooted in the faith-explicit context. The …

Using Storytelling Of Incarnational Encounters To Disrupt Narratives Of Otherness In Teacher Education, Tina Marie Keller

International Christian Community of Teacher Educators Journal

The incarnation is the ultimate illustration of crossing the chasm between two groups. God's choosing to become flesh tells us of his nature, love, and desire to redeem humanity. Jesus Christ alone is incarnate; however, in history, there have been individuals who have stepped outside the norm and have encountered those unlike themselves, humbly modeled after Christ’s incarnation. Incarnational encounters are the stories of people, whom society deems to be in opposition, finding the imagination to attempt to follow the incarnation of Jesus. For Christian preservice teachers, the model of incarnation is a biblical foundation that can guide the ways …

An Editorial: If I Should Fall, Patrick Otto, David Weir

International Christian Community of Teacher Educators Journal

Abstract

The future of Christian higher education will be determined by whether today’s leaders can identify and train successors who are called to the mission and vision of each institution. The task of transitioning to a new generation of leaders has become more complicated as research shows that the church in America is in decline. The increased use of adjuncts adds to the dilemma because it takes time and a single-minded focus to prepare high-level leaders.

We are at a critical time finding the right people to replace the Baby Boomer generation, which has led well past retirement age. As …
