Revisiting the learning commons: an analysis of concepts and themes
No full textThis study discusses the learning commons concept in depth by looking at how it has evolved over time, based on the themes discussed in the scholarly research within the last 6 years and contextualizing its trend. It investigates the status of research productivity and impact, trends in the concept, and identifies common, emerging, and dominant themes. Bibliometric and thematic content analyses were employed as research approaches. Scopus database was used to search for relevant content. Coded data was subjected to a validation process to ensure agreement, consistency in relevance, and theme interpretation. Findings reveal that research conducted on the commons concept has been productive and developing. The commons is transformative and adaptive to the times. Library as space held a consistent interest among libraries as the top theme. The concepts and themes surrounding the learning commons are continuously changing and evolving, reflecting the boundless and seamless nature of knowledge and social spaces

Fostering scientific creativity in science education through scientific problem-solving approaches and STEM contexts: a meta-analysis
No full textScientific creativity is a critical component of science education, promoting innovative thinking and the ability to address complex, real-world challenges. Despite its importance, quantitative syntheses specifically examining the effects of scientific problem-solving approaches on fostering scientific creativity are scarce. This meta-analysis addresses this gap by evaluating the impact of inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, project-based learning, and STEM contexts on students’ scientific creativity. Using the PRISMA protocol, 19 studies were analyzed, revealing that PjBL and PBL produced the most substantial effects, with large effect sizes (g = 2.10 and g = 1.49, respectively), while STEM contexts and IBL demonstrated moderate positive impacts. These findings are interpreted within the scientific method, emphasizing critical stages such as problem definition, hypothesis formulation, experimentation, data analysis, and evaluation. The results suggest that these approaches effectively nurture scientific creativity by engaging students in interdisciplinary, real-world problem contexts that demand innovative solutions. However, the limited number of studies and potential publication bias present challenges to broader generalization. Future research should expand the evidence base and explore the integration of these approaches across diverse educational settings. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the role of scientific problem-solving approaches in cultivating scientific creativity, offering valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers
Evaluating the Effect of Powdered Activated Charcoal for Improving the Manual Chemstrip Analysis on Highly Pigmented Urine Samples
No full textThis study evaluated the efficacy of powdered activated charcoal (PAC) as a pretreatment to reduce chromatic interference in manual 10-parameter urine reagent-strip testing of highly pigmented specimens. Thirty samples were aliquoted into six treatment groups: untreated uncentrifuged (UU), untreated centrifuged baseline (UC), and four PAC treatments—T1 (2.5 mg, 25 °C), T2 (2.5 mg, 35 °C), T3 (5.0 mg, 25 °C), and T4 (5.0 mg, 35 °C). PAC-treated aliquots were agitated for 60 minutes, centrifuged (4,000 rpm, 10 min), and filtered (Whatman No. 42) prior to analysis. Color intensity was quantified by UV–Vis spectrophotometry (570–620 nm) and reagent- strip readings (IngBio 10-parameter) were performed in triplicate. One-way ANOVA indicated no significant effect of PAC mass or temperature on absorbance (F = 2.232, p = 0.068). However, categorical analysis of reagent-strip results revealed statistically significant differences among groups for pH (p = 0.013) and leukocyte esterase (p = 0.021), while the remaining parameters exhibited no consistent alteration. Although certain PAC conditions (notably T1 and T4) approximated the centrifuged baseline for several analytes, overall findings indicate that the PAC treatments tested did not reliably reduce chromatic interference and may alter specific reagent-strip reactions. Further studies and optimization of PAC mass, incubation, and post-treatment processing is recommended before routine implementation
