Intelligent Teaching Systems (ITS) perspectives are the subject matter of this paper, specifically focusing on how these systems could be used to improve educational outcomes. The study conducted a survey using educators from different education levels, and the findings showed that it greatly benefits the students in terms of enhancing engagement and exposing learning disparities and individual differences among the learners. Nonetheless, some of the main concerns are data privacy, low usability, and inadequate technical support, which becomes a significant concern to ITS adoption. Privacy was the most bracing issue for 60% of the participants, who were anxious over data privacy and had inherent biases within the algorithms. Several concerns on usability were also raised by educators who reported inadequate training materials and difficulties in incorporating ITS with conventional teaching-learning methods. This work also emphasizes moderation, where ITS supplements human tutor guidance, enabling educators to incorporate flexible system learning while maintaining human affinity, sensitivity, and adaptability. This research provides valuable information on areas needing ITS focus in the future, such as ethical guidelines, proper training, and better access as the groundwork for proper ITS development.
Regional trade in Africa can play a vital role in diversifying economies and reducing dependence on the export of a few mineral products, in delivering food and energy security, in generating jobs for the increasing numbers of young people, and in alleviating poverty and promoting a shared prosperity. Women play a key role in trade in Africa and will be essential to Africa's success in exploiting its trade potential. In many countries in Africa, the majority of small farmers are women, and they produce crops such as maize, cassava, cotton, and rice that have enormous potential for increased trade between African countries and with the global market. Women are also involved in providing services across borders, such as education, health, and professional services, including accountancy and legal services. Hundreds of thousands of women cross borders in Africa every day to deliver goods from areas where they are relatively cheap to areas in which they are in shorter supply. Yet, policy makers typically overlook women's contribution to trade and the challenges they face. This volume brings together a series of chapters that look at the ways that women participate in trade in Africa, the constraints they face, and the impact of those constraints. It seeks to extend the rather small amount of analytical work that has been devoted to this issue and to encourage researchers, especially in Africa, to look more carefully at the specific challenges women face. The chapters look at the conditions and challenges faced by three broad groups: informal cross border traders; women who participate in the production of traded goods and services, ranging from rural farmers of cotton to professional activities such as legal and accountancy services; and women entrepreneurs with dominant ownership of exporting companies. The book highlights the importance of identifying and removing the conditions that prevent women from exploiting the full potential of trading activities. This report is organized as follows: chapter one gives introduction; chapter two presents barriers, risks, and productive potential for small-scale traders in the Great lakes region; chapter three focuses on unshackling women traders: cross-border trade of Eru from Cameroon to Nigeria; chapter four focuses on women cross-border traders, challenges, and behavior change communications; chapter five gives the gender dimension of Uganda's cotton sector; chapter six focuses on services trade and gender; chapter seven focuses on gender in the tourism industry: the case of Kenya; chapter eight presents shape up and ship out?: gender constraints to growth and exporting in South Africa; and chapter nine presents trade and gender in Tanzania: what matters-participation or outcomes?.
Organizational reputation have been raised and explained by researchers for years. But theorizing of national reputation subject is in its early stages. The aim of this study is to propose the conceptual modelof national reputation. This model can be used as a template by policy makers and researchers in various fields, especially economy and trade. The research method used in this research is grounded theory. In the first step relevant literature has been studied in order to identify and define the related concepts of national reputation, and in the nextstep, the national reputation model has been clarified through conducted interview with the administrator of the government, private sector executives and management professors, based on a structured approach of grounded theory model.

These best practices include an intensive utilization of evidence-based policy making, the granting of autonomy to a variety of stakeholders together with the expectation of accountability for results, community participation, incentives for reform, support for public-private partnerships (PPPs), and adaptive implementation. Research methods focus on the Science of Delivery case study guidelines, drawing on semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with key stakeholders to better understand the implementation process and analyze the causal mechanisms for results achieved. The case study highlights four key contributors to the Eko Project's politically savvy, locally tailored and adaptive delivery approach: (i) it managed to build on collective leadership along the entire delivery chain, from the political leadership of the governor down to the professional leadership of classroom teachers; (ii) it bounced back from a setback in outcomes by strengthening data collection and analysis of results; (iii) it struck the right balance between external and internal implementation mechanisms to make the most of established institutions; and (iv) it aimed at macro-level impact by reaching down to individual learning achievements.

Let us introduce ourselves first. We are presently working as Associate Professor, in the Department of Anatomy, Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalore. This letter is meant to discuss the problems that would be faced by the health sector of our country. We have discussed and would foresee these events happening in the near future. Our country under the able leadership of our new found leader has been marching in a proper direction ever since he has taken the office. We have found a new found passion amongst ourselves. A ray of hope or a silver lining is felt who have been working in the health sector. At the time of writing this letter, we would like to bring in the fact that we have around approximately 50000 seats for MBBS spanning in 28 states in the country. But the distribution of the seats and availability of health care has not been distributed equally. The present Government has been taking strides in getting new Medical Colleges. The availability of the faculty is a big question mark. Why this situation, we asked ourselves and we got the answers. For a long time we have been neglecting the pre and para clinical subjects. The minimal criterion for staff requirements that has been recommended by the MCI has been taken as the maximum criteria by the Medical Colleges. Not only the private but the Government colleges and the administration have an equal share of responsibility. If we go through the Government call for interview, it is surprising to see that the Government has also made this cut off line. No more than the minimum requirements will be taken is the norm that has been followed. With this norm the problem is that, for a long time there were no takers of a Post-Graduation seat in Pre and Para Clinical seats. This is not Eureka moment! The simple fact was that, there were no vacancies. To add on to these there were lateral entry courses that were there in place, who would become teachers in Medical Institutes. But since the MCI has been head strong in implementing the CBME curriculum, we need quality teaching faculties. The changes have started to show. Even though it’s in a very infant stage, we are hopeful that the system will change for good. With so many Medical colleges coming up, the staff pattern and grading system should be implemented for a Medical College. The minimum criteria should not be taken as a maximum criterion. Even though we are very safe now and we pray to the almighty that the present situation continues, we can foresee a calamity. The present number of Medical Colleges and the MBBS seats looks very promising and can continue to do so if the graph improves steadily. But if a calamity strikes in the form of a war, yes you have read it right, forget the mortal enemy of India, we have a super power just above us and bioterrorism and chemical warfare have just not been witnessed in this world on a very large scale. If that happens then we would need trained Medical staff and a lot of them to take the burden. The graphs of Medical graduates that are coming out of Medical colleges simply are not match to the population explosion. So the Government has to take all necessary steps to ensure the same. Not only war even in peace times, we do not have enough to spare if a natural disaster strikes. What if a natural disaster strikes? What if a pandemic strikes? What if we are at war? With this letter we want you to highlight our concern in your prestigious journal and let the authorities have a look at our concern and take appropriate actions so that the damage would be neutralized.
This study explored the impact of teacher training and professional development on the integration of AI-based educational tools in classrooms. A survey of 200 teachers from primary, secondary, and higher education institutions was conducted to assess their familiarity, confidence, and experiences with AI tools. Results revealed that while 40% of teachers were somewhat familiar with AI tools, only 5% expressed high confidence in their ability to use these technologies. Moreover, 70% of teachers had not received any professional development for AI, and a statistically significant correlation (χ² = 16.54, p = 0.002) was found between professional development participation and increased confidence. The most significant barriers to AI integration were a lack of training (60%) and insufficient resources (40%). These findings underscore the necessity for targeted, continuous professional development to improve educators' readiness and ability to effectively utilize AI tools in their teaching practices.
The aim of this article is studying interactions between nation branding and corporate branding through reviewing the literature. Results show that both branding of a country and its corporates have influence to each other, either positive or negative effect that is called virtuous cycle or a vicious cycle. In fact, these two types of branding, act as a synergistic reinforcement tool to protect, improve or enhance the other one and therefore should be observed and maintained simustainasly.Keywords: National Reputation, CorporateBranding, Brand Positive Cycle, National Identity
