Purpose: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly influencing higher education, including nursing education, where graduates must develop technological competence alongside critical thinking and creativity. Although existing literature has primarily examined GenAI for text generation and knowledge support, limited attention has been given to the pedagogical potential of visual GenAI tools such as AI generated images. The purpose of this paper is to describe and…

This paper proposes a neomodern theoretical synthesis in which a research-directed economy, public health equity, gravitoelectric launch architecture, autonomous space-drone industry, fusion propulsion, warp-field metrics, asteroid-belt mining, and cultural synthesis together form the next stage of the human mode of production. Drawing upon published work on gravitoelectric cumulative transference, warp-field displacement, fusion propulsion, artificial intelligence economic planning,…

Coastal ecosystems are among the world's most productive environments, supporting fisheries, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, shoreline stabilization, and numerous ecosystem services essential for human well-being. However, rapid urbanization, industrialization, land reclamation, agricultural expansion, aquaculture, tourism development, and climate change have accelerated habitat degradation and pollution across coastal regions. These pressures have highlighted the need…

Biomonitoring is a fundamental component of ecotoxicology, providing insights into environmental quality through the responses of living organisms to pollution and habitat degradation. Traditionally, biomonitoring programmes have focused on species that accumulate contaminants or exhibit measurable physiological responses to environmental stress. In Malaysia, the invasive Amazon sailfin catfish (Pterygoplichthys spp.), commonly known as ikan bandaraya, has become widespread in urban and…

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the primary staple food for more than half of the global population, making sustainable rice production essential for food security, economic development, and environmental sustainability. Conventional rice cultivation has relied heavily on synthetic fertilizers, particularly nitrogen fertilizers, to maximize grain yield. Although chemical fertilizers have significantly increased rice production over recent decades, their excessive application has contributed to…

This paper is a reflective synthesis of long-term environmental monitoring and personal experience from two of Malaysia’s most polluted coastal ecosystems: Kuala Juru in Penang and Kg. Pasir Puteh in Southern Johore. Drawing upon empirical evidence collected in 2004 and 2005 on elevated levels of heavy metals in mussels (Perna viridis) and surface sediments, this narrative integrates ecological data with moral teachings expressed through proverbs from Hindu, Malay, Chinese, and English…

Encounters with everyday commodities can sometimes expose deeper structural and ethical tensions within modern food systems. This reflective paper examines a personal encounter with an ultra premium watermelon priced beyond ordinary affordability and marketed as the sole fruit matured on a plant for optimal sweetness and nutritional balance. Drawing on decades of experience in biology, ecotoxicology, and environmental education, this paper reflects on how such luxury oriented agricultural…

Planetary health emphasizes that the health of human civilization depends fundamentally on the stability of Earth's natural systems. While discussions surrounding planetary health have traditionally focused on medicine, ecology, environmental sciences, and public health, the contributions of electrical engineering have received comparatively less attention despite underpinning nearly every aspect of modern society. Reliable electricity enables healthcare delivery, clean water supply,…

In recent years, rehabilitation robotics has become a promising area of research to enhance mobility and quality of life for people with neurological and musculoskeletal impairment. Lower-limb exoskeletons are one of the most promising advances in this field, combining advanced control strategies with principles from biomechanics to improve gait rehabilitation and functional recovery. This review discusses the state of the art in neuro-mechanical modeling approaches and Artificial…

Background: Daily Islamic prayer (Salah) comprises a structured sequence of whole-body postural transitions that systematically engage the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. Despite near-universal observance among practising Muslims worldwide, the extent to which habitual prayer performance influences objective measures of posterior chain flexibility and dynamic postural stability have not been rigorously established through standardised field…
