Abstract

This study investigates the transformative impact of 3D visualization software in educational settings, particularly for creative and technical disciplines, by analyzing its effects on spatial reasoning, engagement, and cost efficiency. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative analysis (SPSS 25) of survey data from 780 participants across Chinese universities with qualitative case studies to demonstrate significant improvements in academic performance (p < 0.05) and conceptual understanding. Factor analysis confirmed robust validity (KMO = 0.901, Bartlett’s test p = 0.000), with ANOVA revealing a strong positive relationship between 3D tool adoption and mastery of technical subjects (F = 450.246). Key findings highlight a 30% enhancement in engineering and design test scores compared to traditional 2D methods, corroborating prior studies on spatial cognition. The study also identifies cost efficiency as a critical factor, showing how 3D software reduces instructional expenses by replacing physical prototypes with virtual labs, aligning with industry trends toward scalable digital solutions. Notably, disciplines like architecture and computer science exhibited the highest gains, with dynamic 3D modeling improving problem-solving accuracy and creative ideation. The research underscores the dual utility of 3D visualization in fostering immersive learning environments while addressing economic constraints, offering practical recommendations for curriculum redesign and faculty training to maximize adoption. These insights challenge conventional pedagogical paradigms, proving that 3D tools not only enhance learning outcomes but also align with broader educational and economic goals.

Abstract

The African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), the largest free trade area since the establishment of the WTO, seeks to promote intra-African trade, industrial growth, and economic integration across the continent. Nigeria’s initial hesitation to join stemmed from concerns over the potential negative impact on its local industries, infrastructural inadequacies, and exposure to regional competition. This study investigates the economic implications of AfCFTA on Nigeria, focusing on trade facilitation reforms, sectoral impacts, and national preparedness. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, using content and trend analysis of secondary data from 1996 to 2023, supported by primary interviews with relevant stakeholders. Guided by the theory of neo-functionalism, the study analyzes how Nigeria’s institutional and policy responses align with the broader objectives of the AfCFTA. Findings reveal that while Nigeria faces challenges such as weak infrastructure, high trade costs, and regulatory inefficiencies, there is evidence of strategic reforms aimed at improving trade facilitation and supporting Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The study concludes that with continued policy reforms and investment in infrastructure, Nigeria can harness the opportunities presented by AfCFTA to diversify its economy, attract foreign direct investment, and strengthen its role in regional value chains. However, this potential is contingent upon effective implementation, security enforcement, and inclusive stakeholder engagement.

Abstract

This research explores the revolutionary effects of ML on cybersecurity, particularly as it pertains to its function beyond the conventional detection of threats. Traditional approaches often fail to counteract increasingly complex cyberattacks. Machine learning has the potential to greatly improve cybersecurity techniques by analysing large datasets and identifying trends. Threat prediction, anomaly detection, or automated response are just a few areas that can benefit from using ML approaches, which are the focus of this study. It delves into how ML models can look at past assault patterns and find small signs humans would miss to foresee new attacks. The research also delves into the function of ML in real-time reaction systems, which can learn from fresh data in real time and adapt to changing threats. The report emphasises that ML can improve threat intelligence, automate regular security chores, and optimise resource allocation, in addition to detection and response. Organisations may achieve more proactive and adaptable security postures by incorporating ML into cybersecurity frameworks. Among these methods is the use of ML for behavioural analysis, which sheds light on user actions and highlights any discrepancies that can indicate security holes. The study concludes with a thorough examination of how machine learning may reshape cybersecurity procedures. It highlights how technology can provide unique solutions for prediction, reaction, and total security management, going beyond just threat detection. The results could help direct ML studies and applications in the future, to develop cybersecurity systems that are more robust and flexible.

In today’s globalized economy, supply chains have evolved beyond mere logistics and cost efficiency, they are powerful instruments of international cooperation, diplomacy, and sustainability. As Asia, and China in particular, strengthens its position in the global supply network, strategic supply chain management (SCM) becomes a vital tool in fostering peace, economic interdependence, and inclusive development. This session examines how Asian firms, especially in China, are leveraging SCM strategies not only to maximize organizational potential but also to contribute to a sustainable and equitable global order. Central to this discussion is the mediating role of customer satisfaction and employee engagement, two human-centric factors that enhance business resilience, stakeholder trust, and cross-border credibility. a) Through a multidisciplinary lens combining business strategy and international diplomacy, the session explores: b) How SCM decisions influence international relations and economic diplomacy; c) The role of employee well-being and customer experience in sustaining ethical global supply chains; d) How initiatives like China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) act as platforms for transnational SCM partnerships; e) The alignment of corporate SCM practices with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 8, 9, and 17). Key questions include: How can SCM serve as a form of soft power for Asia? In what ways can employee engagement and customer satisfaction enhance Asia’s diplomatic image? What frameworks ensure global supply chains promote both economic and social sustainability? By viewing supply chains as bridges rather than boundaries, this topic aims to foster dialogue on how Asian leadership, grounded in responsible SCM, can build inclusive, peaceful, and cooperative global partnerships for a sustainable future

Abstract

The Rohingya refugee crisis, triggered by the 2017 military crackdown in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, has led to the forced displacement of over one million Rohingya into Bangladesh. This humanitarian emergency, while initially perceived as a short-term relief operation, has evolved into a long-term geopolitical and development challenge. Bangladesh now grapples with maintaining domestic stability, diplomatic credibility, and humanitarian standards under increasingly constrained resources. This research investigates Bangladesh’s policy responses through the lenses of national security, diplomacy, and sustainable development. It applies a multidimensional theoretical framework combining Realist Security Theory, Constructivist Diplomacy, and Human Security paradigms to understand the complex intersections of power, identity, and vulnerability. In addition, the study integrates the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—particularly SDGs 4 (Quality Education), 10 (Reduced Inequality), 13 (Climate Action), 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), and 17 (Partnerships)—as analytical benchmarks to evaluate the inclusivity, resilience, and global coherence of national and international responses. Using a qualitative methodology, including case study comparisons, interviews, and policy discourse analysis, the research aims to identify durable solutions that balance sovereign interests with ethical obligations. The expected outcomes include actionable policy recommendations, a framework for SDG-aligned refugee governance, and a scholarly contribution to migration, security, and diplomacy discourses in South Asia.
