Social entrepreneurship is defined as bringing innovative solutions to social problems. In the study conducted by Guzmán et al., (2024), it is emphasized that social entrepreneurship is a developing concept and that studies on social entrepreneurship should be supported by studies conducted in other sectors, especially in the service sector. It is…

Individual differences in mathematical skills emerge early and are influenced by a range of cognitive and environmental factors. One of these is the Home Mathematics Environment (HME), which includes adult-child mathematics talk. Nevertheless, large variations in methods used to investigate and code adult-child mathematics talk exist. We conducted…

This study presents a framework for understanding the factors influencing graduate students' online learning readiness using a modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. A quantitative research method was adopted with data collected from 3,120 graduate students at the University of Ibadan. Structural Equation…

Background/purpose: Superstitious beliefs are culturally ingrained irrational ideas that can influence how individuals perceive and behave, particularly in times of uncertainty. Health anxiety, which is often exacerbated by such beliefs, is common among university students experiencing academic and personal stress. This study aimed to investigate…

The purpose of this study was to examine how screen time and peer interaction affect student focus and social engagement across K-12 classrooms, particularly in light of changes observed since the COVID-19 pandemic. This study collected survey data from K-12 educators across three grade bands (K-4, 5-8, and 9-12) to assess students' device use…

This study aims to examine the relationship between physical performance levels and cognitive functions of male athletes aged 18-25 years competing in the Turkish Hockey Indoor 1st League. 45 athletes participated in the study, balance, flexibility and vertical jump tests and D2 Attention Test were applied. In addition to descriptive statistics,…

Although exploratory play is considered a hallmark of cognitive development and learning, relatively few studies have been able to quantitatively characterize the shifts that may occur in children's approach to exploration. One reason for this gap is due to challenges coding and analyzing children's exploratory play behavior. In our paper, we…

Research suggests exposure to misinformation continues to impact belief and reasoning, even if that misinformation has been corrected (referred to as the Continued Influence Effect, CIE). The present experiment explores two potentially important factors that may impact the effect: (1) learner age; and (2) length of delay between retraction and…

Histone acetylation, catalyzed by e, has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy in Alzheimer's disease (AD). By longitudinally characterizing spatial memory at 3, 6, and 9 mo of age, we show that acute activation and inhibition of the histone acetyltransferase PCAF remediated memory impairments in 3xTG-AD mice in an age-related bidirectional…

A remarkable amount of perceptual development occurs in the first year after birth. In this article, we spotlight the case of color perception. We outline how within just 6 months, infants go from very limited detection of color as newborns to a more sophisticated perception of color that enables them to make sense of objects and the world around…

Artificial intelligence in education (AIED) applications have emerged as a promising solution to address the unique educational challenges faced by students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of comprehensive meta-analyses examining the effectiveness of AIED applications on ASD students' academic achievement and the…

Background: The development of health literacy (HL) is critical in reducing lifestyle-related diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine levels of HL and related variables among members of Generations X and Z. Methods: This study was a descriptive survey conducted in the city of Antalya, Turkey. Participants were 350 Generation Z…

Divergent thinking (DT) is considered as an indicator of creative potential and a predictor of creative achievement. Furthermore, it is also conceptualized as an indicator of cognitive reserve (CR) in healthy elderly. CR refers to a functional benefit that can potentially offer protection against brain pathologies and is thereby considered a…

Statistical learning allows us to discover myriad structures in our environment, which is saturated with information at many different levels--from items to categories. How do children learn different levels of information--about regularities that pertain to items and the categories they come from--and how does this differ from adults? Studies on…

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the influence of menstrual cycle phases (follicular, ovulatory, luteal, and ischemic) and hormone levels (estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, and neuropeptide Y) on vocal fold vibrations in reproductive and postmenopausal women. Method: Glottal area waveforms were extracted from high-speed…
