Abstract

Background. In the context of increasingly diverse classrooms, Canadian schools face both the challenge and opportunity of fostering inclusive learning environments through multicultural education. As technology becomes more integrated into pedagogy, its role in addressing linguistic, cultural, and social differences gains prominence.Purpose. This study explores how educators in Canadian schools utilize digital tools to support multicultural education and promote equity among students from diverse backgrounds. The research aims to identify effective strategies, tools, and practices that enhance cultural inclusivity and student engagement through technology-enhanced instruction.Method. A qualitative multiple-case study approach was employed, involving interviews with 28 teachers, classroom observations across six schools, and analysis of institutional technology integration plans. Results. The findings indicate that technology, when used intentionally, facilitates culturally responsive teaching through language support apps, collaborative platforms, and digital storytelling tools. However, the study also reveals disparities in access, digital literacy, and institutional readiness, which hinder equitable outcomes.Conclusion. The study concludes that leveraging technology for multicultural education requires not only pedagogical innovation but also systemic support, teacher training, and inclusive design principles. These insights offer practical implications for educators and policymakers seeking to enhance diversity and inclusion in digital learning environments.

Abstract

Salinity intrusion in coastal agricultural areas has become a major constraint to rice production in Indonesia, driven by climate change, sea-level rise, and unsustainable land management practices. High soil salinity adversely affects rice growth, yield stability, and food security, particularly in coastal regions that depend heavily on rice cultivation. Conventional breeding approaches for developing salinity-tolerant rice varieties are often time-consuming and limited by genetic complexity. Advances in genome editing technologies, particularly CRISPR/Cas9, offer a precise and efficient alternative for accelerating crop improvement. The objective of this study is to develop salinity-tolerant rice varieties suitable for Indonesian coastal agriculture through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genetic engineering targeting key genes associated with salt stress tolerance. This research employed an experimental laboratory-based design combined with controlled greenhouse evaluation. Specific salinity-responsive genes were identified and edited using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Transgenic rice lines were generated and screened for successful gene edits using molecular analysis techniques. Edited lines were subsequently evaluated under saline and non-saline conditions to assess physiological responses, growth performance, and yield-related traits. The results demonstrate that CRISPR/Cas9-edited rice lines exhibited enhanced tolerance to saline stress, indicated by improved germination rates, higher chlorophyll content, better ion homeostasis, and increased biomass compared to non-edited controls. Several edited lines maintained stable growth and yield under moderate to high salinity levels, confirming the effectiveness of targeted gene modification. In conclusion, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genetic engineering shows strong potential for developing salinity-tolerant rice varieties tailored to Indonesian coastal environments. This approach provides a rapid and precise strategy to enhance rice resilience, support sustainable coastal agriculture, and strengthen national food security under changing climatic conditions.

Abstract

The exponential escalation of computational requirements for training and deploying Deep Learning models has precipitated an energy crisis, necessitating a critical reevaluation of the trade-off between algorithmic performance and environmental sustainability. This study aims to reconcile these conflicting demands by developing and validating a novel Dynamic Energy-Aware Pruning (DEAP) framework designed to maximize inference efficiency without compromising predictive accuracy. Employing a rigorous quantitative experimental design, we benchmarked state-of-the-art neural architectures, including ResNet-50 and Large Language Models (LLMs), across diverse hardware environments. The research utilized real-time telemetry to measure total energy consumption (Joules), thermal output, and carbon intensity () against standard accuracy metrics. Empirical results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieved a 42% reduction in energy consumption and stabilized hardware thermals, while maintaining predictive performance within a strict 1.5% non-inferiority margin compared to dense baselines. We definitively conclude that algorithmic sparsity effectively decouples high-level intelligence from excessive power usage, establishing a viable engineering paradigm for “Green AI” that aligns the trajectory of artificial intelligence with global decarbonization targets.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of creative technologies has transformed digital entrepreneurship into a critical driver of social innovation and inclusive growth. Platform ecosystems, artificial intelligence, and data-driven infrastructures enable ventures to scale rapidly, yet strategic tensions emerge between technological acceleration and sustained social mission integrity. This study aims to develop and empirically validate a strategic framework explaining how digital entrepreneurs scale social value while navigating governance, stakeholder, and measurement challenges. A mixed-methods explanatory sequential design was employed, combining survey data from 214 digital social ventures with in-depth case studies of selected firms operating in technology-intensive sectors. Multiple regression and structural equation modeling were used to test relationships among technological capability, strategic agility, stakeholder integration, impact measurement sophistication, and scaling performance. Findings indicate that technological capability significantly predicts scaling performance (? = 0.41, p < 0.001), with strategic agility acting as a mediating variable. Hybrid ventures balancing innovation with governance and ecosystem collaboration achieved superior scaling outcomes. The study concludes that sustainable scaling of social value requires multidimensional capability alignment rather than technology-driven expansion alone. Integrative strategic management of creative technologies is essential for maintaining legitimacy, adaptability, and measurable social impact in digital entrepreneurship.

Abstract

The increasing popularity of digital Qur'an applications highlights the need for improved human-computer interaction (HCI) design to enhance user experience, particularly for recitation and study. While these applications provide valuable tools for accessing and learning the Qur'an, users often encounter challenges related to usability, navigation, and engagement. Effective HCI design is crucial to ensure that digital platforms are intuitive, user-friendly, and promote an enriching experience for Qur'an recitation and study. This research aims to explore HCI design principles tailored to digital Qur'an applications, with a focus on enhancing accessibility, usability, and user engagement. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, including user surveys, expert interviews, and usability testing, to identify key issues in existing applications and propose design improvements. The findings reveal that users value features such as audio controls for recitation, easy navigation, and integration with tafsir (interpretation). Additionally, personalized study modes and accessibility features significantly enhance user engagement. The study concludes that applying HCI design principles to digital Qur'an applications can improve user experience by making recitation and study more accessible, efficient, and engaging. The research offers actionable insights for developers aiming to create more user-centric Qur'an applications.
