That the Global North has been on a mission to develop the Global South in its own image is a narrative conveyed to students in Development Economics. Integral to this narrative is the sub-narrative that the absence ofEuropean institutionsin the Global South has militated against itslong term development. This paper draws on the very many dissident voices busting these narratives and points to how seeking wellbeing and sustainability in development requires dropping development economics and embracing socialecological economics.

Producing High Quality Legal Practitioners begins at improving the institutions and experiences of those individuals at a university level. We ought to find the inhibiting and facilitating factors in legal education to reproduce more of what works and to improve those aspects of learning inhibiting high performance. This research seek store veal commonalities in student, professor and administrative staff observations and experiences; towards the conclusion of the material factors impacting student performance in legal education.

Clinical laboratories play a central role in modern healthcare by supporting diagnosis, monitoring, and therapeutic decision-making. In recent decades, rapid technological advances—ranging from automation and digital pathology to artificial intelligence (AI) and point-of-care testing (POCT)—have transformed the laboratory landscape. This systematic review investigates the evolving role of clinical laboratories in improving patient care through innovative technologies and practices.

Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and certain cancers represent the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Increasing scientific evidence suggests that diet plays a pivotal role in both the development and prevention of these conditions. This systematic review aims to synthesize recent findings on the effectiveness of nutritional interventions in reducing the risk or progression of major chronic diseases.

In this paper, synthesis and photoluminescence (PL) properties of rare earth Tb3+dopedSr2P2O7 Phosphors were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method and photoluminescence (PL) properties of samples were examined for proper excitation. All the samples were synthesized by high-temperature SSR- method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy characterization confirms the formation of pure α-phase with crystallized in orthorhombic structure of samples.

This research investigates the integration of AI-powered UI adaptation and data automation into secure front-end systems focusing on improving the user experience and scalability, real-time accessibility, and ethics. The quantitative research design targeted users, developers, and designers who are typically involved in AI-driven front-end systems across various industries. Data was collected through an online questionnaire developed by the researchers themselves and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics that included independent t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation.

Lactic acid is a commodity product with wide industrial application, which can be generated from different raw materials, making it a target of interest for large companies. On the other hand, most organic acids on the market produced via chemical synthesis generates high levels of pollution. That way, the second-generation organic acids is part of this context, moving towards emerging and future-oriented technologies.

The lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is among others the most consumed in natura in Brazil, it has nutritional values indispensable to human health, having a low content of calories, vitamins A, B and C, fibers and minerals (phosphorus, iron, sodium and potassium). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), most Foodborne Diseases are transmitted through the consumption of food or contaminated water. Considering the risks of the predominant pathogens in lettuce, this work aimed to find and identify possible microorganisms in lettuce samples.

Background: Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a well-established surgical technique in implant dentistry, aiming to promote new bone formation in deficient alveolar ridges. The method relies on barrier membranes and bone graft materials to exclude soft tissue invasion and enhance osteogenesis. Objective: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different biomaterials used in GBR associated with dental implant placement, highlighting clinical outcomes and complications.

The threats to students’ access to quality education are even more significant due to political changes and policy shifts (influenced by potential cutback in public education funding and in the form of real implementation of education reforms). When there are cuts in the funding, overcrowded classrooms, less access to educational resources, and less personalized opportunity to learn becomes the exact face faced by students from disadvantaged background.
