Abstract

The integration of ICT literacy and environmental education plays a vital role in fostering sustainable learning. Nevertheless, rural students continue to encounter barriers such as limited digital competence, unequal access to technology, and insufficient educational resources. This study examined the learning needs for developing the CG2G Digital Module, which integrates ICT and environmental literacy within the ASSURE instructional design framework. A quantitative survey was administered to 47 Year Six students from a rural primary school in Hulu Terengganu, Malaysia. Data obtained through a validated questionnaire based on the VAK Learning Styles Self-Assessment were analyzed descriptively to identify learners’ characteristics, competencies, and preferences. The findings indicated moderate ICT proficiency, particularly in basic computer and internet use, alongside strong environmental awareness in areas such as recycling and water conservation. The dominance of kinesthetic learning preferences suggests the need for multimodal and interactive instructional strategies. These insights provide a foundation for designing the CG2G module to enhance ICT and environmental literacy among rural learners.

Abstract

The paper discusses the leadership skills of Industry 4.0 and 5.0 and how higher education institutions (HEIs) would help in enhancing these skills among engineering and management students. Nevertheless, existing research on the I4.0/I5.0 leadership development in HEIs is rather disjointed, with only a handful of studies centering on these population groups, so this review can be described as an exploration one. The PRISMA guidelines were used to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR), which analysed 61 peer-reviewed publications dating back to 2011. The review found three groups of invaluable competencies, including (a) technical (digital fluency, risk management), (b) human-centric (empathy, trustworthiness, ethical foresight), and (c) strategic (systems thinking, resilience). The current research points at the weakness of conventional theories of leadership and suggests a hybrid approach that combines technology, ethics, and sustainability. Unequal empirical focus within competency clusters is also evident in the synthesis and specifically in sustainability-oriented and student-specific leadership outcomes. The article is not oriented to determine the efficacy of the revealed leadership competencies or higher education practices but rather a synthesis of descriptive and conceptual information to provide insight on patterns, gaps, and the future of research in the still-new I4.0/I5.0 leadership conversation. The present paper builds on the upcoming V-shaped graduate construct that has been introduced in the new literature and compiles an idea of a conceptual framework of leadership preparedness, placing HEIs as knowledge management ecosystems facilitating sustainable leadership to transform digital-societal change. The conceptual propositions present a basis on which future empirical validation can be done in various HEI settings. The research provides practical recommendations to the HEIs and policymakers; it pertains to curriculum reorientation, hands-on learning, and collaboration between the industry and the academic field to equip the graduates to work within volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environments.

Abstract

Several health conditions are thought to be associated with monosodium glutamate (MS.G). Nowadays, a lot of products depend on monosodium glutamate as a flavor enhancer and food additive. The usage of MS.G is still debatable, even though it has been considered a safe food additive. A delayed excitotoxic and tissue-damaging dietary additive, MS.G, can produce large quantities of free radicals that cause metabolic disturbance and damage several organs. The study aimed to investigate the impress of monosodium glutamate in the testis of mice and the significance of Shilajit (Shi) in improving the damage. Fifty male albino mice weighing between 18–22g were used in the study. The animals were randomly selected into five groups. GroupA received distilled water as a control, groupB give (2g/ kg) from (MS.G), and group C gives (2g/ kg) of (MS.G) and (100mg\ kg) of Shilajit (Shi), group D gives (4g/ kg) of (MS.G), and groupE gives (4g/ kg) of (MS.G) and (200mg/ kg) of Shilajit (Shi), orally for 2 weeks. Blood collected for hormones biochemical examination. The mice were sacrificed at the end of the experiment, and the testes were separated for histological study. The results showed a significant decrease in testis weight in groups B, C, and D compared to the control, while no change in group E. The results indicated, a significant decrease at the FSH and LH. While, testosterone and progesterone levels showed a decrease in groups B, C, and D, but groupE was normal. The capsule thickness showed a significantly increased in the tested groups, except group E appeared relatively normal. Numerous histological alterations in the testis were discovered by the MS.G groups, including disarray of seminiferous tubules, decreased sperms in the lumen, Hyalinization with necrosis of Leydg’s cells and destruction of intermediate connective tissue cells, increased thickness of the testis capsule. Spermatogonia cells slouching in the seminiferous tubule lumens, and destruction of sertoli cells, necrosis of spermatogonia, and macrophage infilteration in the seminiferous tubule lumen, degeneration and destruction of intermediate connective tissue cells, disorganization of spermatogonia and spermatocytes, Slouching of spermatocytes in the seminiferous tubule lumen, Congestion of blood vessels, Infilteration of inflammatory cells in the lumen of tubules. While, the E groups exhibit extremely typical seminiferous tubules, hyalinization of interstitial tissue with destruction of Leydig’s cells, normal capsule, some vacuoles or spaces between spermatocytes, virtually typical spermatogonia, few amount of sperms and relatively normal spermatocyte. In conclusion, Shilajit (Shi) acts synergistically in reducing MSG-induced testicular changes via anti-inflammatory and anti-degeneration effects.
