Levelling Up for Nature: Pathways of Engagement with Green Messages in Games
Digital games have become potent platforms for environmental messaging, capable of influencing beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours. This paper explores how players engage with green content embedded within game environments, using mixed-method data from the GREAT Project with more than 181,000 anonymised gameplay sessions. This research analysed cognitive, affective and behavioural responses to in-game environmental messaging and identified key pathways that lead to sustained pro-environmental actions using PCA and K-Means clustering analysis, by which varying types of user were identified from casual to deeply engaged players. The engagement questions were grouped into three categories: narrative frame, behavioural pledges, and social reflection. Our findings showed that 68% of the players participated in at least one green-themed pledge, which indicates a strong sensitivity to environmental content, informing a multilayered engagement model that supports both player experience and environmental literacy known as a 5-pathway green engagement model (5-PGEM), supporting the hypothesis that green messages, when embedded in games, can significantly shape eco-friendly actions. 2025 IEEE. -

Levelling Up Organisational Learning Through Gamification: Based on Evidence from Public Sector Organisations in India
The concept of sustainability brought into focus the need for research into how to measure and achieve sustainable growth. The triple bottom line framework and the resource-based view of the firm suggest the need for organisations to look beyond profits and take into consideration the needs and effectiveness of its workforce. Research suggests that an effective workforce can be achieved through constant learning and development. Organisations have also expressed the need for training techniques that are more effective than the traditional methods. Gamification has been proposed as one such technique, and in the current study, the researchers evaluate the effectiveness of gamification in organisational training. For the purpose of the current study, 120 participants were chosen from public sector organisations in India. This is primarily because the technology-enhanced training effectiveness model (TETEM) suggests that the effectiveness of gamification would depend on the culture of the organisation, and prior research has been based in privately owned firms. The findings are in line with the theory of gamified learning and suggest that participants of the gamified module reported higher levels of learning, reaction and learner motivation. Additionally, learner motivation was found to strengthen the impact of gamification on the learning and reaction. The Author(s) 2022. -
Leveraging Agentic RAG toReduce Hallucinations inLarge Language Models
Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized language generation and comprehension. However, a notable issue remains, which is their sensitivity to hallucination, which may lead them to generate inaccurate or irrelevant content. Context dependency, or the capacity to use and understand ones environment, is crucial for surviving hallucinations. The agentic RAG framework offers a feasible solution, leveraging intelligent agents to strengthen contextual knowledge. Through the evaluation of entity roles and relationships, agentic RAG aids LLMs in understanding the variation of context, spotting inconsistencies and generating more precise and balanced replies. This research explores the establishment of Agentic RAG into LLMs to refine their reliability and efficiency by overcasting hallucinations and lifting contextual awareness.

Leveraging and Deployment of AI / ML to Simplify Business Operations among Diverse Sectors during Covid-19 Battle
During the evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak, the necessity for companies to re-evaluate and restructure themselves is still not greater. It will make sense for things to change in the business operations. Most companies redesigned current existing ways of running business operations and capacity to make choices to benefit. The present condition sees Artificial Intelligence as a significant facilitator for companies to make their existing situation better (recover from their economic crisis), reconsider (prepare for a long-term change) and reinvent (completely re-engineer) their business model for long-term gain. Automated bots that could identify items and carry out duties that were previously reserved for people would make companies and other infrastructures operational around the clock, through more significant numbers, and at a lower cost. Simulated actual working conditions, including labour forces, would be created by using Artificial intelligence platforms. Businesses would use machine learning and sophisticated business intelligence to use artificial intelligence to explore better market dynamics and provide consumers with "hyper-personalized" goods. Some of the most compelling case studies can have human intelligence and expertise mixed with AI. Many firms should revamp current business processes and capacity to benefit the company in the near future. In this research paper, we have showcased how artificial intelligence would benefit businesses as they adopt with these current developments and during a condition of pandemic without inhibiting their activities. The research is carried in a descriptive way, choosing the diverse sectors in the economy like Banking & Finance, Manufacturing, Education, Retail, Telecommunications, Entertainment and media to make the research more robust and reliable. 2022 American Institute of Physics Inc..
