This scoping review synthesizes 30 empirical studies published between 2016 and 2025 on the implementation of English Medium Instruction (EMI) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in Central Asia. Following the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Scoping Reviews) framework, the review employed a systematic search across international and regional databases to identify studies conducted in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. The review reveals substantial geographic unevenness in the evidence base: most included studies were conducted in Kazakhstan, only limited evidence was identified from Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, and no eligible empirical studies were found from Tajikistan or Turkmenistan. A further regional pattern is the concentration of EMI and CLIL research in higher education, particularly in STEM-related contexts, while primary and secondary education remain comparatively underexplored. The review also identifies thematic imbalances, especially the limited representation of administrators, policymakers, parents, and other stakeholders whose perspectives are important for understanding the conditions shaping EMI and CLIL implementation. Recurring challenges include teacher preparedness, language-related barriers, resource limitations, and sociopolitical constraints, especially in rural settings. Overall, the review highlights the need for more geographically inclusive and methodologically diverse research to better understand how contextual, linguistic, and institutional conditions influence EMI and CLIL implementation and to inform more grounded regional policy development.

Tsunamis remain a major coastal hazard, requiring mitigation strategies that are both effective and sustainable. This study investigates the performance of coastal vegetation as a form of green infrastructure for tsunami attenuation through controlled laboratory experiments using dam-break-generated bores. The novelty of this study lies in the integrated evaluation of vegetation density, planting arrangement, and gap configuration within a single experimental framework, with direct implications for practical coastal planning. The results show that vegetation significantly reduces wave height, with high-density configurations achieving reductions of approximately 40–60

In this study, CuO/TNAs heterojunction was prepared by the SILAR method. CuO/TNAs were characterized for determination of crystal structure, morphology, and photoelectrochemical properties. The UV–Vis DRS spectrum confirmed the extension of visible light absorption and the reduction of the band gap to 2.44 eV for CuO/TNAs at a 60 mM concentration with 7 SILAR cycles. XRD analysis indicated the formation of the anatase TiO2 phase with peak intensities without altering the crystal structure after modification. FE-SEM morphology results revealed an increase in pore diameter from 46.39 nm to 51 nm after modification. Photoelectrochemical measurements (Linear Sweep Voltammetry and Multi-Pulse Amperometry) showed an increase in photocurrent density for CuO/TNAs (0.035 mA/cm2) compared to pure TNAs (0.005 to 0 mA/cm2). These results indicate an improved charge separation efficiency and photoresponse to visible light. Therefore, CuO/TNAs heterojunctions have the potential to serve as efficient photoanode materials for photoelectrochemical applications.

Tuberculosis (TB) treatment adherence remained a major challenge in high-burden settings, and psychosocial factors such as TB-related stigma and patient motivation may be associated with whether patients completed therapy. This study examined the relationships between TB-related stigma, patient motivation, and treatment adherence among patients with pulmonary TB in a high TB burden area of West Sumatra, Indonesia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from October to December 2025 among adults with drug-sensitive pulmonary TB receiving care in Padang Municipality and Padang Pariaman Regency. The sample comprised 268 participants, selected using a multistage stratified clustered sampling. TB-related stigma (9 items), motivation (4 items), and treatment adherence (4 items) were measured using 4-point Likert scales. The relationships among the variables were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The sample was predominantly male (80.2

This study aims to examine the effects of emotional intelligence and digital mindset on students’ achievement in technology-based economics learning, with self-regulated learning as a mediating variable, and technology acceptance and digital resilience as moderating variables. An ex post facto quantitative design was employed in the study. Data were obtained through a structured survey administered to 392 students from public senior high schools. The findings reveal that both emotional intelligence and digital mindset significantly enhance self-regulated learning, while digital mindset also directly contributes to academic achievement. Furthermore, self-regulated learning has a significant positive effect on achievement and mediates the influence of both emotional intelligence and digital mindset on learning outcomes in technology-supported economics classes. In contrast, neither technology acceptance nor digital resilience demonstrates a significant moderating role in the model. These results highlight self-regulated learning as a key mechanism linking psychosocial factors and digital dispositions to students’ academic achievement. In conclusion, success in technology-based economics learning is influenced more by emotional intelligence, digital mindset, and self-regulated learning than by technology acceptance or digital resilience. The proposed moderated–mediation model contributes to digital learning research and offers practical implications for educational practice.
