The evolving collective psyche of humanity reveals a shift from predominantly masculine to increasingly feminine characteristics since around 1500 A.D. This transformation, termed 'transgenderization,' is attributed to identified psychological factors.

Social Brain Perspectives on Neuroscience of Human Language
Human language and social cognition are two key disciplines that have traditionally been studied as separate domains. Nonetheless, an emerging view suggests an alternative perspective. Drawing on the theoretical underpinnings of the social brain hypothesis (thesis of the evolution of brain size and intelligence), the social complexity hypothesis (thesis of the evolution of communication), and empirical research from comparative animal behavior, human social behavior, language acquisition in children, social cognitive neuroscience, and the cognitive neuroscience of language, it is argued that social cognition and language are two significantly interconnected capacities of the human species.

Influencing Factors of University-Going Women with Entrepreneurial Intentions
Entrepreneurship and business activities are considered the backbone of any economy due to their great contributions to the gross domestic product and the generation of jobs, thereby achieving greater stability in economic indicators, which leads to strengthening the growth of the economy. However, the roles of women in the academic and business fields have experienced significant evolution, challenging deep-rooted stereotypes and reflecting a profound social transformation of the perception of gender roles. The psychological well-being of women entrepreneurs could be considered the most important element of their lives; this includes mental and physical health, as well as work performance. Personality traits directly affect an individual’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. The personal traits that describe entrepreneurs and that exert an extremely strong influence on behavior are mainly self-efficacy, autonomy, innovation, internal locus of control, achievement motivation, optimism, knowledge, continuous learning, resilience, tolerance to stress, and risk taking, among others.

Obstacles for the Current IIAs in Addressing Climate Change
Global climate change has become a major concern today, and it has been described by the G20 as “one of our greatest challenges”. Climate change is characterized by externality and has a global, long-term, and intergenerational impact. To prevent climate change deterioration, the 21st United Nations Climate Change Conference adopted the Paris Agreement, which promotes climate finance and mitigates climate change worldwide. At the international law level, since Germany and Pakistan signed the first bilateral investment treaty (BIT) in 1959, international investment agreements (IIAs) have emerged as one of the most significant sources of international legal protection and promotion of foreign investments.

Project-Based Learning to Decolonising Assessment in Higher Education
Decolonising the curriculum (DtC) is an emerging concept that continues to challenge higher education institutions globally, with educators and scholars increasingly recognising how traditional curricular structures, content, and pedagogical practices can reinforce colonial biases and marginalise certain student groups. DtC can be seen as a process rather than a phenomenon, one which is ongoing and multiplexed, consisting of elements that aim to dismantle the hierarchy between staff and students and question the ways in which knowledge is produced, valued, and disseminated. The expected outcome is to provide students with an education which is equitable, inclusive, and relevant to their personal lives and experiences. Efforts in DtC have continued to gain traction, but assessment practices remain overlooked as a crucial component, with most decolonising efforts focussed towards content and pedagogy.
