These strategies aim to maximize the role of personnel management in enhancing teaching and research standards, thereby supporting the long-term development of higher education institutions
The Strategic Position of Chile in Latin America
Full text linkChile, a narrow and elongated country on the southwestern edge of South America, holds a prominent position in Latin America due to its unique geographical location, abundant natural resources, and open economic policies. With over 4,300 kilometers of coastline along the Pacific Ocean, Chile enjoys exceptional access to Asian and Oceanic markets, serving as a gateway for international trade in the region. Its extensive coastline and strong maritime connectivity have positioned Chile as a critical hub for the transportation of goods and the expansion of regional and trans-regional trade. Economically, Chile is the world’s largest producer of copper, a resource that secures its vital role in global markets. Copper exports, along with other mineral resources particularly to Asian countries constitute the backbone of the Chilean economy. Membership in trade agreements such as the Pacific Alliance and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) has enabled Chile to play a central role in regional and international free trade. Chile’s economic policies focus on free trade, foreign investment, and economic stability, making it one of Latin America’s most successful economies. From a geopolitical perspective, Chile’s position in the Pacific region allows it to act as a bridge between Latin America and Asia. Additionally, Chile is an active member of regional institutions such as the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) and the Pacific Alliance, which aim to strengthen economic integration and regional cooperation. Stable relationships with the United States and the European Union further underscore Chile’s geopolitical significance. In the energy sector, Chile is recognized as a regional leader in renewable energy. Extensive solar and wind energy resources, particularly in the Atacama Desert, have positioned the country as a key player in the transition to clean energy. The development of sustainable energy sources has not only reduced dependence on fossil fuels but also played a critical role in fostering sustainable regional development. However, internal challenges such as economic inequality, social tensions, and reliance on raw material exports remain major obstacles to Chile’s efforts to solidify its strategic position. Recent protests highlight the need for structural reforms to maintain political and economic stability. In conclusion, Chile’s strategic position in Latin America stems from its advantageous geographical location, successful economic policies, and active participation in regional and trans-regional cooperation. Nevertheless, its long-term success depends on its ability to address domestic challenges and strengthen regional and global ties

Healthcare Providers’ Views on the Teaching of Home Languages in Medical Schools in Cameroon as a Means of Overcoming Language Barriers Between Health Care Providers and Patients Who Do not Speak Official Language(s): Torn Between Sociolinguistic Reality, Pedagogic Necessity and Language Policy
Full text linkUsing data from questionnaires administered to 487 health care providers from 45 health centers in the Far North Region of Cameroon, this paper explores the views of health care providers on the teaching of home languages1 in medical schools as a way of limiting communication barriers between health care providers and patients who are not proficient in the official language(s). The work is discussed in the light of Postcolonial Linguistics (Warnke, 2017; Makoni et al., 2023) and the data are analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings show that although the majority of healthcare providers (74%) have positive views of home language teaching in medical schools, a smaller proportion (26%) have negative views of home language teaching in such institutions. Positive views are justified by the fact that teaching these languages will facilitate communication between healthcare providers and patients who do not speak official languages (French and English), strengthen trust between patients and healthcare providers and improve the performance and quality of healthcare provided by healthcare providers, contribute to the preservation of native languages, diversify healthcare providers’ knowledge of native languages and strengthen national integration, and limit the presence of intermediaries in the interaction between patients and healthcare providers and contribute to the preservation of medical confidentiality. Negative views are based on the difficulties of teaching the more than 200 Cameroon home languages, the heavy workload of medical students, the possibility for health care providers to learn home languages informally in the community where they work, the need to limit home language teaching to primary, secondary and high schools, and the non-availability of didactic materials for teaching Cameroonian home languages. The paper argues for the empowerment of home languages in the medical domain in Cameroon in general and for their teaching in medical schools in particular
An AI Multi-Agent System for Translation Revision Teaching: Developing and Validating the TAM-AS Model
Full text linkAgainst the backdrop of AIGC, translation education faces a “high-autonomy-low-control” dilemma where translation revision requires learner autonomy but static CAT tools lack structured guidance. This study develops a multi-agent AI system for translation revision teaching and extends the classic TAM into TAM-AS by integrating “agentic support.” It adopted a three-phase design, constructing TAM-AS and three AI agents (dynamic task planning, context-aware error correction, cognitive attunement), implementing an 8-week intervention with 120 translation majors via stratified random assignment to experimental/control groups, and validating effectiveness through statistical and thematic analysis. Key findings include the AI system significantly enhancing self-regulated revision with 58% more independent decisions and 47% higher self-correction accuracy (p<0.001), perceived translation quality, clear feedback and interface simplicity driving TAM-AS acceptance while tool speed being irrelevant, and TAM-AS improving technology acceptance predictability by 23.6% compared to classic TAM. This study provides a scalable AI tool to resolve the dilemma and enriches theories linking AI support to learner autonomy in education
The Data Security Risks and Responses in China-ASEAN Digital Cooperation
Full text linkAs China-ASEAN digital cooperation deepens, both parties face multidimensional data security risks in digital infrastructure connectivity, trade rule reconstruction, collaborative technological research, and industry ecosystem building. This study systematically analyzes the complex security challenges and their causes in China-ASEAN digital cooperation from a South-South cooperation perspective, and proposes targeted response strategies. The study finds that data security risks manifest across physical, informational, and sovereignty layers: geopolitical competition in technological standards, conflicts between data sovereignty and cross-border flow regulations, and intervention by major power rules collectively form the deep-rooted contradictions in regional digital cooperation. Specifically, digital infrastructure is hindered by technical compatibility and cybersecurity disputes, digital trade rules are trapped in “institutional competition and cooperation” due to fragmented regulation, core technology supply chains are impacted by geopolitical tensions, and digital industry collaboration faces dual challenges of cultural identity and regulatory misalignment.The study further reveals that the root causes of these risks lie in the delayed regional risk awareness, imbalanced governance resources within ASEAN, and the geopolitical rule competition by major powers. To address this, the paper proposes four cooperative pathways: first, building a tiered governance mechanism under the RCEP framework to balance sovereignty and circulation through data categorization, classification, and mutual recognition; second, deepening strategic collaboration by establishing a cross-border data flow joint regulatory committee and a joint cybersecurity defense and control system; third, accelerating the construction of the “Digital Silk Road” by using quantum communication and edge computing to bridge the digital divide; and fourth, strengthening legal mutual recognition, resisting external rule fragmentation, and maintaining regional governance autonomy. These pathways provide a new paradigm of “co-building rules, co-researching technology, and sharing risks” for digital security governance in developing countries.The study also highlights current limitations, such as the uneven data openness among ASEAN member states and insufficient empirical data in sensitive areas. Future research may focus on the compliance risks and financial stability impacts of the cross-border application of digital RMB, as well as technological and institutional innovations to bridge the digital divide. By deepening differentiated analysis and practical validation, future studies can offer more actionable theoretical support for the high-quality development of China-ASEAN digital cooperation
Bridging Horizons: The Symphony of Digital Banking and Financial Inclusion in the Gambia
Full text linkThis study examined the critical nexus between digital banking and financial inclusion in The Gambia, focusing on assessing the current state of digital banking services, identifying factors driving their adoption, and evaluating their impact on financial inclusion. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was adopted, using stratified sampling to ensure comprehensive stakeholder representation, and the findings were on the three hypotheses of the study. First, Hypothesis 1 revealed a strong positive correlation between digital banking accessibility and user adoption rate (0.877), significantly impacting financial inclusion (0.770). Moreover, mobile and internet banking showed a positive, though less pronounced, correlation with financial inclusion (0.423). Therefore, these findings indicate that improved digital banking infrastructure quality correlates positively with financial inclusion, underscoring the importance of enhancing accessibility and promoting user adoption. Subsequently, Hypothesis 2 examined the impact of socioeconomic factors, including income, education, and age, on digital banking services. With an R-value of 0.856 and an R square of 0.733, regression analysis demonstrated the importance of socioeconomic factors in determining the adoption of digital banking, which is 73.3% dependent on factors like employment status, education level, and income. Hence, addressing socioeconomic disparities is essential for the broader adoption of digital banking services. Lastly, Hypothesis 3 investigated the influence of digital banking services on financial inclusion. The model-fitting information showed that employment status significantly influenced financial inclusion, while other factors like age, income, and education exhibited limited statistical significance. Additionally, the limited availability of digital wallets and restricted payment transactions negatively impact financial inclusion, suggesting that improving these aspects is crucial for advancing financial inclusion efforts. The study concluded that improving accessibility to digital banking, addressing socioeconomic disparities, and enhancing digital payment options are critical steps in advancing financial inclusion in The Gambia
