Abstract
This study examines how teachers use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in both their classroom teaching and their professional development. Although AI has become an important part of educational innovation, most existing research focuses mainly on how AI tools are used with students, rather than how teachers themselves learn to use these technologies. To understand this gap, a systematic review was conducted on studies published between 2015 and 2024. Following the PRISMA guidelines, the review included a careful process of searching, screening, and selecting relevant literature. A total of 95 research articles were identified and analysed. Each study was reviewed to understand, how teachers are using AI in their teaching practices, what are the kinds of professional development opportunities are available to help teachers learn and integrate AI effectively. The analysis showed a clear imbalance in research distribution. About 65 per cent of the studies focused on how AI is used directly in teaching—such as conversational AI tools, AI-based learning and assessment systems, immersive technologies, visual/audio computing, and learning analytics. In contrast, only 35 per cent of the studies examined how AI supports teachers’ professional development. The findings reveal a significant gap: while AI is becoming more common in classrooms, much less attention is given to how teachers can be trained and supported in using these technologies. This review suggests that future research should place greater emphasis on teachers’ development needs and explore how AI can strengthen both teaching practices and student learning. It also highlights the importance of addressing technological and ethical issues to ensure that AI is used responsibly in education.

Abstract
This study examines the efficiency of end-to-end documentation and invoicing within the global freight forwarding operations of DahNAY Logistics, Chennai, and proposes process improvements for accuracy, compliance, and operational performance. Design/methodology/approach: A descriptive research design is adopted, integrating insights from the company’s operational workflows and inter-departmental coordination practices with secondary data from peer-reviewed academic literature, industry benchmarks, and global logistics reports for the period 2024–2026. Findings: The analysis demonstrates that operational bottlenecks at DahNAY Logistics arise primarily from manual documentation, invoicing errors, and gaps in inter-departmental coordination. Adoption of Agentic AI, OCR/Intelligent Document Processing, blockchain, and digital twin–enabled control towers can reduce manual paperwork by up to 60%, cut customs clearance times by 75%, and raise on-time in-full performance toward the 95% global benchmark. Originality/value: The paper offers a firm-level synthesis of emerging logistics technologies and standardisation practices for a mid-sized Indian freight forwarder, and proposes a practical roadmap for transitioning from linear documentation processing toward AI-orchestrated, human-centred motion-control logistics.

Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of meme marketing as a digital promotional strategy and its influence on the purchase intentions of Generation Z consumers in the Indian context.
Design / methodology / approach: A descriptive research design was adopted, combining primary data collected from 120 Gen Z respondents through a structured online questionnaire with secondary data drawn from peer-reviewed journals and digital marketing reports.
Data were analysed using percentage analysis, mean analysis, the chi-square test, and Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
Findings: The results indicate that meme-based advertisements exert a statistically significant influence on Gen Z purchase decisions (X^2=14.82, p lessthan 0.05) with a strong positive correlation (r = 0.94) between social media usage and engagement with meme content. Humour, relatability, entertainment value, and cultural relevance emerged as the dominant drivers of brand recall and purchase intention. Originality/value: The study contributes to the limited empirical literature on meme marketing in emerging markets by providing primary evidence from Indian Gen Z consumers and offering practical guidance for marketers seeking to design humour-led, culturally resonant digital campaigns.

Abstract
The paper explores the critical transition of Human Resource Management from a traditional support function to the role of Chief AI Orchestrator, analyzing the Algorithmic Manager paradox, in which technical efficiency often triggers a decline in organizational trust and employee agency. Utilizing a critical literature review and qualitative meta-analysis of shifts observed in 2025–2026, the study evaluates how Black Box decision-making and surveillance-based metrics create algorithmic alienation and a transparency vacuum that undermines psychological contracts. The findings indicate that while predictive modeling may reduce turnover costs, active time tracking frequently fails to capture high-value cognitive output, leading to misaligned appraisals and a growing digital divide. Despite limitations to early 2026 tech adopters, the research offers significant practical implications, advising organizations to implement Human-in-the-loop (HITL) protocols and pivot HR toward ethical auditing to protect corporate culture. Ultimately, this review identifies a 2026 inflection point at which HR’s value proposition shifts from administrative to ethical orchestration, offering a novel framework for governing the tension between data-driven productivity and human-centric leadership.

Abstract
Precision oncology has emerged as a transformative approach in cancer care by tailoring treatment strategies according to the molecular characteristics of individual tumors. Molecular pathology plays a central role in this paradigm by enabling the identification of genetic mutations, molecular biomarkers, and signaling pathways that drive tumor development and progression. This cross-sectional analytical study examines the evolving role of molecular pathology in precision oncology using 258 molecular pathology cases. NGS-based profiling demonstrated the strongest clinical impact on treatment outcomes (F=7.34, p=0.001), with the majority of cases demonstrating at least one actionable molecular alteration. The study highlights the growing importance of integrating molecular pathology, computational diagnostics, and precision medicine frameworks in modern oncology practice.

Abstract
Histopathology has long served as a cornerstone of disease diagnosis by enabling microscopic examination of tissues to identify structural and cellular abnormalities associated with various pathological conditions. In recent years, rapid technological developments in digital pathology, image analysis, artificial intelligence, and biomarker discovery have significantly enhanced the capabilities of histopathological diagnosis. This cross-sectional analytical study examines recent advancements in histopathological diagnostic techniques using 246 histopathological case samples collected from hospital pathology laboratories and diagnostic centers. Digital pathology platforms, artificial intelligence-assisted image analysis, and biomarker-based diagnostic markers significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce diagnostic variability. AI-assisted histopathological analysis demonstrated the highest diagnostic accuracy (94.6%, F=6.45, p=0.001). The study highlights the growing importance of integrating computational tools and advanced molecular diagnostics within histopathological practice.

Abstract
Over-enrollment the enrolment of learner numbers that significantly exceed the designed capacity of school facilities, classrooms, and teacher staffing is a pervasive challenge in Zambian primary schools, generating educational quality deficits, infrastructure stress, and teacher performance pressures that compound existing educational disadvantage in rural districts. In Kalabo District, Western Province, rapid population growth combined with insufficient school infrastructure expansion has created severe over-enrollment conditions in selected primary schools, with classrooms designed for 40 learners hosting 80–100 pupils and teacher-learner ratios far exceeding recommended pedagogical standards. This article examines the effects of over-enrollment on pupil academic performance and teacher professional performance in two selected primary schools in Kalabo District, contextualising findings within global scholarship on class size, teacher workload, AI-assisted large-class pedagogy, and educational resource optimisation. Drawing on a mixed-methods survey, findings confirm significant negative impacts on both learner outcomes and teacher well-being, while identifying AI-powered teaching tools, cooperative learning strategies, and school infrastructure policy reforms as evidence-based responses. Policy recommendations are presented.

Abstract
Psychiatric emergencies represent acute mental health crises requiring immediate clinical assessment and intervention to ensure patient safety and manage severe psychological disturbances. Common psychiatric emergencies include acute psychosis, severe suicidal ideation, violent or aggressive behaviour, acute substance intoxication or withdrawal, and severe mood episodes. This cross-sectional analytical study examines the clinical profile, management challenges, and treatment outcomes associated with psychiatric emergencies in hospital settings among 168 patients. Acute psychosis and severe suicidal ideation were the most frequently presenting psychiatric emergencies. Combined pharmacological and psychosocial crisis management approaches demonstrated the highest clinical resolution rates (F=6.78, p=0.002). The study highlights the importance of early assessment, structured crisis intervention protocols, and multidisciplinary collaboration in managing psychiatric emergencies effectively.

Abstract
School head teachers are the pivotal institutional leaders upon whose administrative competence, resource management skill, and pedagogical vision the educational quality of their schools depends. In Mongu District, Western Province, Zambia, head teachers face significant and compounding challenges in school administration and resource management encompassing inadequate administrative training, resource scarcity, community-school relationship complexity, staff management challenges, and absence of digital management support tools. This article examines the challenges faced by head teachers in school administration and resource management in Mongu District, contextualising findings within global scholarship on educational leadership, AI-assisted school management systems, digital school governance platforms, and human resource management in education. Drawing on a mixed-methods survey of head teachers and education officers, findings identify financial resource management, teacher human resource challenges, community engagement difficulties, physical resource maintenance, and data management inadequacies as primary administrative challenges. AI-powered school management information systems, digital financial management platforms, and community-school communication tools are identified as evidence-based solutions. Policy recommendations are presented.

Abstract
Mental health stigma represents one of the most significant barriers to healthcare access and treatment-seeking among individuals with mental health disorders. Stigma manifests as negative attitudes, stereotypes, and discriminatory behaviour towards people with mental illness, leading to social exclusion, reduced self-esteem, and reluctance to seek professional help. This cross-sectional analytical study examines the effectiveness of community-based mental health stigma reduction interventions among 246 community members and healthcare workers. Social contact and education combined approaches demonstrated the highest improvements in mental health attitudes (F=7.28, p=0.001). Significant improvements in mental health literacy, attitudes toward treatment, willingness to support people with mental illness, and treatment-seeking intentions were observed following anti-stigma programmes. The study emphasises the importance of sustained, culturally sensitive, multi-component stigma reduction programmes in improving mental health outcomes at the community level.
