Role Conflict and Language Diversity in Indian Judiciary: Challenges and Opportunities in Justice Delivery under NEP Provisions
With an emphasis on Kanpur, this study examines the effects of role conflict and linguistic diversity within the Indian court, especially in relation to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The primary aims of this study were to evaluate the opportunities and problems associated with the incorporation of regional languages in legal education and court processes, and to investigate the role conflict experienced by legal professionals as a result of this change. The study also sought to assess how technology can help to lessen these difficulties. Based on the findings, it was determined that as legal professionals balance the competing objectives of linguistic inclusivity and legal clarity, language variety does, in fact, contribute to role conflict among them, especially among judges, attorneys, and legal aid workers. This supports the hypothesis that the integration of regional languages would exacerbate role conflict. Moreover, while the NEP 2020 presents opportunities to enhance access to justice for non-English-speaking populations, the study identified significant challenges such as a lack of trained multilingual professionals, insufficient resources, and delays in proceedings due to translation issues. The study also highlighted that technological solutions, although useful, are not yet sufficient to fully overcome these language barriers. Despite their potential, AI-driven tools and translation services remain inadequate for handling the complexities of legal language in diverse regional contexts. To sum up, NEP 2020 provides a way forward for a more diverse judiciary, but realising its full potential will need significant funding for bilingual legal materials, enhanced legal education, and more sophisticated IT infrastructure. In order to ensure that the legal system can better serve India's linguistically diverse people, these reforms are crucial for striking a balance between linguistic inclusion and the requirement for legal precision and efficiency.

Parental Involvement in the Educational Transition of Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: From Secondary School to Vocational Pathways
The transition from secondary education to vocational pathways is a critical phase in the lives of students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), demanding multi-level support systems to ensure successful outcomes. Among these, parental involvement stands out as a crucial determinant of effective and sustainable transition planning. This study explores the perceptions, experiences, and challenges faced by parents as they support their children with IDD through this educational and vocational shift. Drawing upon Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory and the framework of Family-Centered Transition Planning (FCTP), the research investigates individual, institutional, and systemic factors influencing parental engagement. It addresses four central questions: how parents perceive their roles and responsibilities, the barriers they encounter, the institutional mechanisms that facilitate or hinder involvement, and strategies for enhancing collaboration between families, schools, and vocational institutions. The study highlights that while policies like IDEA (U.S.) and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (India) recognize the role of families, practical implementation remains inconsistent. Findings from existing literature underscore the need for improved communication, cultural responsiveness, and interagency coordination to empower parents effectively. Many parents feel unprepared, excluded, or overwhelmed, particularly in under-resourced or rural contexts. Conversely, when provided with clear information, respect, and opportunities for participation, they contribute meaningfully to the development of individualized transition plans (ITPs). This research calls for inclusive educational practices, enhanced teacher training, and policy reforms that recognize parents as equal partners. Strengthening parental involvement is essential not only for the empowerment of families but also for the long-term vocational success of students with IDD.

Breast Cancer: Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of OCI CerviBreast App Campaign Message on ABS 88.5 FM, Awka, Among Undergraduate Students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University
Background: Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of death among women in their productive years worldwide. Despite advances in treatment, prevention continues to be the most effective strategy to reduce mortality rates. Health communication campaigns across various media platforms play a vital role in educating and sensitizing the public on preventive measures. One such campaign is the OCI CerviBreast App Campaign, broadcast on ABS 88.5 FM, Awka. Objectives: This study aims to assess the level of awareness, attitude, and practice related to the OCI CerviBreast App campaign message among undergraduate students at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Specifically, the research examines students' exposure to the campaign, evaluates their knowledge of breast cancer prevention, and investigates their attitudes and practices regarding the recommended preventive techniques. Theoretical Framework: The study is anchored on the Health Belief Model (HBM), which explores individuals’ perceptions of health threats and the benefits of preventive actions, and the Digital Generative Multimedia Tool Theory (DGMTT), which emphasizes the role of digital media in health communication. Method: A survey research design was employed to gather data from undergraduate students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University. The questionnaire assessed exposure to the campaign message, knowledge of self-breast examination steps, attitudes towards breast cancer prevention, and actual practice of recommended preventive techniques. Results: Findings indicate that a significant proportion of students have heard the campaign message on ABS Radio. However, less than half could recall the specific steps for breast self-examination. Additionally, more than half of the students are yet to practice the preventive techniques promoted in the campaign. Conclusion: Although the radio campaign effectively raises awareness, there is a gap between awareness and the retention and practice of preventive measures among students. Enhancing engagement and comprehension is essential to translate awareness into actionable practice. Unique Contribution: This study uniquely combines the application of the Health Belief Model and the Digital Generative Multimedia Tool Theory to evaluate the impact of a radio-based health campaign in a university setting, highlighting the need for diverse communication strategies to reach young adults effectively. Key Recommendations: It is recommended that a multi-media approach be adopted, leveraging online platforms and social media to reach the predominantly digital-native undergraduate population. Such strategies could improve message retention, understanding, and the adoption of preventive behaviours.

The Dynamics of Nationalism and Global Citizenship in the Development of the Pancasila Campus Tourism Model
Experiential civic education models rooted in symbolic spaces within university campuses have rarely been systematically examined, despite their significant potential to bridge national values and global consciousness. This study aims to construct an educational tourism model at the Pancasila Fortress Campus (Kampus Benteng Pancasila) of Universitas Sebelas Maret as a site for dialectical engagement between nationalism and global citizenship. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and visual documentation across symbolic sites such as the interfaith worship complex, the UNS Museum, and the Javanology Center. The findings reveal that these spaces function as reflective mediums through which academic communities experience nationalism not as rigid doctrine but as a dynamic awareness open to universal values. Four essential components emerged in the construction of the model: symbolic spaces, dialogical narratives, reflective engagement, and institutional support. These findings offer an alternative concept of civic education that is affective, participatory, and contextual, while also demonstrating that the values of Pancasila can serve as a bridge between patriotism and cosmopolitanism within an increasingly transnational higher education landscape

“Tabi-Tabi Po”: Exploring A Folk Expression Toward Engkantos Among Generation Z Filipinos
Uttering “Tabi-tabi po” is not just a verbal expression habit but a living tradition of many Filipinos. “Tabi-tabi po” literally means “Excuse me”. Filipino people learned to acknowledge and respect the presence of supernatural beings that live with them. Saying ”Tabi-tabi” became a common behavior for Filipino people to respect the engkantos in their surroundings to avoid them getting offended. This study aims to explore this folk expression among Generation Z Filipinos at Granby Colleges of Science and Technology. This study utilized descriptive-qualitive design using semi-structured interviews. The participants of this study were selected using Purposive sampling; the researcher gathered 15 respondents from different provinces such as Cavite, Samar, Bohol, Iloilo and Capiz. In addition, the researcher also added a representation from Metro Manila. This study revealed that most of the respondents still practice “Tabi-tabi po” folk expression and the data shows that they learned this habit from their parents and grandparents. The participants use tabi-tabi po because they acknowledge the existence of engkantos or supernatural beings. Ultimately, The participants also expressed their interest to preserve this expression as part of our cultural heritage. This paper concludes that “Tabi-tabi po” culture is still alive among Generation Z.

Criminal Law Policy Against Perpetrators of Hoarding of Basic Commodities from the Perspective of Indonesian Legislation and Islamic Law
This study examines the legal policy regarding criminal sanctions against perpetrators of staple food hoarding in Indonesia, viewed from the perspective of national legislation and Islamic law. Staple food hoarding—defined as the act of storing goods in unreasonable quantities to create artificial scarcity and profit from price surges—is a serious threat to public welfare and market stability. In the Indonesian legal context, hoarding is regulated under Law Number 7 of 2014 on Trade, the Criminal Code (KUHP), and supporting regulations, which impose criminal sanctions in the form of imprisonment and substantial fines. However, the enforcement of these sanctions faces practical challenges in terms of monitoring, proving intent, and preventing repeat violations. From the Islamic legal perspective, hoarding, known as ihtikār, is explicitly prohibited as it violates the principles of justice and public interest (maslahah). The Prophet Muhammad condemned hoarding, and Islamic jurisprudence empowers authorities to impose discretionary punishments (taʿzīr) to prevent social harm. The findings indicate a significant convergence between the objectives of national and Islamic law in protecting economic justice and consumer rights, though their normative foundations and enforcement mechanisms differ. This paper concludes that an integrative approach—combining formal criminal law enforcement with the ethical and moral values of Islam—can enhance the effectiveness of anti-hoarding policies. Recommendations include stronger market supervision, public education on ethical business conduct, collaboration with religious institutions, and consistent law enforcement.

Social Media and Agropreneurial Development in Nigeria
Social media has emerged as a powerful tool for fostering agro-preneurial development in Nigeria, leveraging digital platforms to connect farmers, agribusinesses, and stakeholders along the agricultural value chain. The use of social media in the agricultural sector offers numerous benefits, including access to market information, networking opportunities, knowledge sharing, and entrepreneurship support, which can enhance productivity, profitability, and sustainability in the agribusiness sector. Social media platforms provide agro-preneurs in Nigeria with a direct and cost-effective channel to market their products and services to a broader audience, beyond traditional physical boundaries. By leveraging digital platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp, agribusiness stakeholders can showcase their offerings, share information about their farming practices, and engage with potential customers in real-time. This study examined social media and agro-preneurial development in Nigeria: an assessment. Three objectives were formulated for the study and qualitative research methods were also adopted to underscore divergent literatures published in journals, books, websites, internet, etc to establish a perspective on the study. The study concluded that embracing social media as a tool for communication, marketing, and networking, agro-preneurs in Nigeria can tap into a wealth of resources, connect with like-minded individuals, and access market insights that can propel their businesses forward. The digital ecosystem facilitates information sharing, skills development, and partnership opportunities, enabling agribusiness stakeholders to stay competitive, innovate, and adapt to changing market dynamics in today's fast-paced and interconnected world. The study recommended that to maximize the benefits of social media for agro-preneurial development in Nigeria, it is essential to invest in digital literacy programs aimed at equipping agribusiness stakeholders with the necessary skills to navigate social media platforms effectively.

Communication For Development (C4D) and Environmental Sustainability in Nigeria
Communication for Development (C4D) strategies hold transformative potential in promoting environmental sustainability in Nigeria, particularly within diverse communities facing critical ecological challenges. This study investigates how C4D strategies have influenced environmental awareness and knowledge among the Nigerian populace through a qualitative approach. The study adopted three objectives: examine the extent to which C4D strategies have been utilised in promoting environmental awareness and knowledge among the Nigerian populace; identify the challenges associated with the application of C4D strategies in promoting environmental sustainability in Nigeria; and explore the opportunities for effective utilisation of C4D strategies in promoting environmental sustainability in Nigeria. The study founded its roots on the Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI) and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT). Interviews conducted across three Local Government Areas in Akwa Ibom: Eket, Onna, and Esit Eket reveal varying degrees of effectiveness in C4D implementations, highlighting both successes and challenges. While the advancement of mobile communications and social media platforms offers substantial outreach opportunities, barriers such as limited resources, cultural misalignment, and ineffective communication channels persist. Nonetheless, findings suggest potential pathways for enhancing C4D strategies by focusing on local contexts, fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration, and empowering communities toward proactive environmental stewardship. This research underscores the necessity of adapting C4D initiatives to resonate with local cultural frameworks and addresses the vital role of inclusive participation in achieving sustainable environmental outcomes in Nigeria.

Rethinking Newspaper Survival in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence and the rise of other technologies have redefined the future of journalism. In all societies today, newspapers are merely struggling to survive, but the potential consequence of technology on the print media differs with the society’s technological history and awareness. AI have made information readily available to the public who were once the audience of newspapers. This paper looks at the potential challenges offered by AI to the traditional newspaper organisations, while also examining the prospect for the future, and calling for new strategies for print media to adapt and thrive in the era of AI. Using Critical Literature Review Approach (CLRA), the paper reviews from existing literature, and the opinions of other scholars about the consequences of AI on the survival of newspaper with focus on Nigeria. The paper concludes that newspapers in Nigeria have continued to survive because of the low level of AI adoption and use in Nigeria and Africa at large, which has made the public to continue to seek information from existing media platforms, but the rise of knowledge will offer severe consequences in the future.
