Women have steadily been rising to the top in the fields of humanities, arts, and education, but women in STEM are severely underrepresented. Children in schools are exposed to the idea that entering the fields of STEM, whether it be academic or professional, is easier for a man. This kind of forced linear thinking limits female students from pursuing their interests in STEM-related fields. A sore lack of role models in these fields adds to women’s mindsets that they cannot achieve what men do. Today, even though there are women who have managed to reach and break through the metaphorical ‘glass ceiling’, they do not get equal treatment. They are subjected to lower positions in the workplace, and lesser pay, among a host of other discriminatory actions. Societal norms in many countries state that women must sacrifice their academic or professional pursuits to focus on their families, which is one of the many possibilities why they fail to climb the ladder to the top. This paper attempts to explore the reasons behind the continued dearth of women’s participation in STEM-related fields.

The rapid expansion of online resources and the emergence of self-directed learning (SDL) opportunities have transformed traditional education methods. This raises the question of how well people can learn on their own without the aid of a human teacher. In our previous work (Leddo et al., 2017), we found that gifted and talented (GT) students learned basic computer programming equally well on their own or when taught by a human teacher while non-GT students learned better when taught by a human teacher than on their own. This raises the question of how well students can continue to learn on their own as the subject matter becomes more advanced. Nittala et al. (2022) found an interaction effect when students were learning advanced material, specifically GT students did better on their own than with a teacher while non-GT students still learned better with a teacher. The present study investigates whether GT students can reach a “breaking point” when trying to learn very advanced material on their own compared to learning with a teacher. 24 GT middle and high school students learned a very advanced topic in biology, taught either by a teacher or by reading a scientific publication (self-directed learning-SDL). The results showed that GT students performed significantly better when learning on their own than when learning with a teacher. Future research should focus on what knowledge-building mechanisms are mediating this trend in which the more difficult the subject matter, the better GT students learn on their own than with a teacher.

As technology becomes more integral to our daily lives, user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design are crucial in creating successful technology products. However, there are concerns that the emphasis on good UI/UX design may be having an unintended consequence: negatively impacting users' cognitive abilities. This research paper aims to explore the impact of UI/UX design on users' cognitive abilities, and whether it may be contributing to a "dumbing down" effect. Through this research paper, we would explore this concept further and understand how and why this phenomenon occurs. The design of UI/UX can have a significant impact on users' cognitive abilities, potentially leading to a "dumbing down" effect. By examining the relationship between UI/UX design and cognitive abilities, this research aims to shed light on this important issue and contribute to the ongoing debate about the role of technology in our lives. This study will involve a literature review of both academic and non-academic sources, including content from industry reports, case studies, and news articles.

Assessing students on their knowledge has been a key part of education, aiding in determining how much students have learned certain concepts. In the past, assessments have focused on whether students give the correct answer to problems, implying that the number of correctly-answered test items is a valid measure of how much students know. However, this emphasis on correct answers has resulted in negligence of assessments that could potentially provide diagnostic feedback to teachers and educators as to what concepts students have mastered, where the gaps in their knowledge are and how to remediate them. Having this framework could greatly benefit classrooms and day-to-day teaching practices. The present paper describes an assessment technique called Cognitive Structure Analysis that is derived from John Leddo’s integrated knowledge structure framework (INKS-Leddo et al., 1990) that combines several prominent knowledge representation frameworks in cognitive psychology. While this framework has been used to determine its usefulness to mathematics, it has not been tested in other disciplines. The current paper is determined to test whether this framework can be utilized when it comes to testing students’ knowledge in science by assessing them on a specific scientific topic: the scientific method. Using a Google Form, students were assessed on four types of knowledge considered the basis of mastery of scientific method concepts: factual, procedural, strategic, and rationale. Students gave responses to queries, and their results were measured where each type of knowledge was scored and a combined knowledge score was created. Students were then given real Advanced Placement style problems to solve, which generated a problem-solving score. Correlations between each knowledge component score

It has always been a traditional concept for Chinese people to return to their roots. In the past two years, with the continuous advancement of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Plan, returning to the mainland cities in the Bay Area to enjoy their twilight years has become a new choice for many elderly people in Hong Kong and Macao, and cross-border ageing has gradually become a new trend. At the 18th CPC National Congress, president Xi Jinping proposed that it is the common responsibility of the whole society to actively implement the national strategy on population ageing. President Xi's speech has pointed out the direction for us to promote the development of elderly care, and elderly care has been mentioned several times in the Outline of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Plan to be launched in 2019. Governments at all levels in Guangdong Province have increased financial investment while actively pursuing policy innovation, and in 2023, the Guangzhou Municipal Government for the first time made Nansha Public Nursing Home a pilot project for cross-border elderly care, actively promoting the development of cross-border elderly care in the Bay Area. Taking Hong Kong elderly people's cross-border pension as an example, this paper analyses the advantages of Hong Kong people's return to Mainland cities in the Bay Area to retire as well as the dilemma of the non-portability of social security benefits due to the barriers between the social security systems of the two places, and explores how to enhance Hong Kong people's cross-border pension benefits portability under the basic framework of "one country, two systems" that is always adhered to. This will effectively alleviate the serious shortage of social resources for the elderly in Hong Kong and Macao, and at the same time better promote the synergistic development of the medical and elderly services industries in the Bay Area.

Although Parkinson’s disease does have genetic factors in the equation, it’s important not to discount the importance of the environment. Some see a link to environmental toxins like pesticides and heavy metals. In a world where these toxins are in abundance, it’s hard not to fear for our future health. However, direct, long-term exposure to these toxins doesn’t cause Parkinson’s disease on its own. In this comprehensive review, the changes in our brain as a result of long-term exposure to environmental toxins are thoroughly examined. How Parkinson’s disease develops as a result of these chemical changes is described in detail. Along with showing how the problem is created, this review offers a few solutions.

This paper is exploratory in nature and utilizes qualitative methods to understand the implications of two laws. The Special Marriage Act (SMA) of 1954 allows for inter-religious marriage and is heralded as a ‘liberal law’ which does not identify people based on parochial identity but sees them as ‘individuals’. However, the administrative workings of SMA suggest otherwise: giving a month’s notice, and calling for three witnesses, makes it a nightmare for those navigating it in the context of inter-religious marriages in India. Combined with anti-conversion laws, which by now twelve states of India have already passed, the moral vigilantism by right-wingers in case of such marriages and over-enthusiastic marriage officers who go beyond the law to question and act on objections, make SMA unattractive. In the background of the queer marriage hearing ongoing in the Supreme Court, which is calling for the amendment of the SMA to allow same-sex marriages, begs the question, can two calls for changes-one progressive and the other regressive be accommodated by the Indian state?

In recent years, "security" has become a major concern. Faced with a variety of potential threats ranging from terrorism and computer viruses to fraud and organised crime, many people believe the world is becoming increasingly unsafe. But what we are unaware of is that internal policy decisions could also impact the wellbeing of the people after which they can revolt against the government and could have devastating impacts on the economy. The present paper discusses how the farming economy if remains unstable could be a major cause of internal security in India. The paper also takes into account the recent famers revolts on the outskirts of Delhi and also reviews flawed farming policies which hampers the development of the rural faming sector. The policies today need to cater the financial needs of the marginal farmers as they remain impacted the most.

This article explores the multifaceted impact of IMF policies, particularly its conditionality measures, on economies and societies. Outcomes vary, including increased poverty and inequality alongside economic benefits. Labor market deregulation, promoting competitiveness but raising concerns for vulnerable workers and inequality, is also debated. In essence, IMF policies yield complex results, requiring individualized assessments. The article calls for further research to understand the specific influences of IMF conditionality on labor markets. This could provide insights into how policies like trade liberalization, privatization, and financial sector reform affect employment. It underscores the importance of considering contextual variations among countries when shaping future policies.
