Corpus linguistics investigates language using extensive text databases. Tools assist researchers in analyzing, extracting, and interpreting linguistic information efficiently. Furthermore, if researchers only use traditional tools in corpus linguistic analysis, they will lack the comprehensiveness and efficiency required to effectively navigate and derive valuable insights from language data. This paper employed the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) approach to find the primary data based on a few keywords in corpus linguistic, corpus analysis, computational linguistic, text corpora and tool support. Based on this method, we used advanced searching techniques on Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) and discovered (N=28) data pertinent to the study. Expert scholars decide on a theme based on the problem, which is (i) types of corpus tools and their uses; (ii) their contributions and their capabilities, and (iii) limitations of corpus tools. All the .....

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) represents a significant threat to maternal health, particularly in developing countries, where it remains a leading cause of maternal mortality. Unfortunately, only 60% of pregnant women at high risk for PPH are identified, leaving 40% undetected until they experience PPH. To address this critical issue and ensure timely intervention, leveraging rapidly advancing technology with machine learning (ML) methodologies for maternal health prediction is imperative. This review synthesizes findings from 43 selected research articles, highlighting the predominant ML techniques employed in PPH prediction. Among these, logistic regression (LR), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), random forest (RF), and decision tree (DT) emerge as the most frequently utilized methods. By harnessing the power of ML, we aim to foster technological advancements in the healthcare sector, with a particular focus on maternal health and ultimately contribute to the reduction of maternal morta.....

This paper aims to explore the best teaching and learning strategies for promoting students' social entrepreneurial minds. At the initial stage, the scoping review draws from 198 secondary data from various works in the social entrepreneurship education context, including studies on education programs, curricular development, knowledge-acquiring mechanisms, and social entrepreneurial exploration processes. It also examines instructional methods and strategies that foster the development of potential social entrepreneur mindsets. Finally, 26 included papers present a Top-Down and Bottom-Up Approach, Experiential Learning, Action Learning, Community-Based Project, and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) as effective social entrepreneurship teaching and learning approaches to promote social entrepreneurial mindsets. The review concludes that a combination of all of the aforementioned teaching and learning strategies is among the top teaching approaches for effective social entrepreneurship educa.....

Mobile apps for sign language are a fascinating area of research that merits a lot of attention. These apps are widely used due to their affordability and usability. Nevertheless, the quality of these apps needs to be evaluated if they are to have a significant influence. The outcomes of app quality assessment can also stimulate app development efforts and improvements to their functionality and accuracy. Therefore, to gain more in depth understanding, four academic databases (Science Direct, IEEE, Association for Computing Machinery, and Web of Science) were searched as part of a systematic literature review. The review highlighted that sign language apps require further development to support users in achieving the greatest possible usage and learning experience. We present a solution framework based on a quality assessment criterion for sign language mobile apps that could be adopted by academics and developers. Alternative identification, criteria, and development are the three pri.....

Purpose: In the developing field of nano-materials synthesis, copper oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are deemed to be one of the most significant transition metal oxides because of their intriguing characteristics. Its synthesis employing green chemistry principles has become a key source for next-generation antibiotics attributed to its features such as environmental friendliness, ease of use and affordability. Because they are more environmentally benign, plants have been employed to create metallic NPs. These plant extracts serve as capping, stabilising or hydrolytic agents and enable a regulated synthesis as well. Design/methodology/approach: Organic chemical solvents are harmful and entail intense conditions during nanoparticle synthesis. The copper oxide NPs (CuO-NPs) synthesised by employing the green chemistry principle showed potential antitumor properties. Green synthesised CuO-NPs are regarded to be a strong contender for applications in the pharmacological, biomedical and environ.....

Employers are facing difficulties in selecting the most suitable candidates for employment and the transition from education to work is challenging for young graduates. Therefore, it is important to have indicators that could show the suitability of a potential candidate for his/her chosen job. A person who possesses knowledge but lacks confidence may struggle to perform assigned tasks, while an overly confident person with limited knowledge is likely to make errors in their job. Although there is existing research on learning analytics related to assessments, the research on learning analytics specifically focused on the confidence-knowledge relationship based on assessment data is still lacking. This article aims to examine the application of analytics in providing insights based on assessment data that can be utilized by potential employers. To achieve this, a systematic review was carried out, analyzing a total of 141 articles. The findings contribute to a better understanding of t.....
