Technological innovation and intellectual property in agriculture: A critical study with reference to farmers' rights
The intersection of technological advancements and intellectual property rights in agriculture has created both opportunities and challenges for farmers and innovators. Modern agricultural technologies, such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs), precision farming, and digital tools, promise increased productivity and sustainability. However, the associated intellectual property frameworks often limit farmers' traditional rights to save, share, and reuse seeds, raising ethical, economic, and legal concerns. This chapter critically examines the balance between fostering innovation and protecting farmers' rights, emphasizing the implications of patents, farmers and plant breeders' rights in terms of plant variety protection. Furthermore, it advocates for equitable policy frameworks that promote innovation while ensuring farmers' access to affordable, adaptable, and sustainable technologies. By fostering collaboration among stakeholders, a harmonious balance between innovation and farmers' rights can be achieved, supporting long-term agricultural resilience and food security. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing. -

Tech-Enabled Transformations in Gender-Inclusive Healthcare: A Critical Interpretive Synthesis of Artificial Intelligence in India
While artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize healthcare, it also runs the risk of exacerbating structural injustices for Indias gender-diverse communities. This critical interpretive synthesis explores the effects of AI-enabled health devices on LGBTQIA+ inclusion, drawing on intersectional feminism, queer theory, and constructivist learning. Reviewing 30 interdisciplinary studies (20102024), three themes emerge: (1) algorithmic bias: AI systems replicate gendered and caste-based exclusions through non-representative datasets and heteronormative design; (2) structural barriers: infrastructural patriarchy, limited gender-sensitive governance, and gaps in Indias AI policy; and (3) digital inequities: low digital literacy, moral conservatism, and caste hierarchies restrict access to affirming care. Research shows AI often erases or misgenders trans and nonbinary identities, causing epistemic harm. Nonetheless, inclusive innovation is possible through participatory, queer-led AI design. The study warns that without centering intersectional justice, AI in healthcare risks amplifying marginalization and epistemic violence. It recommends co-creation with LGBTQIA+ stakeholders, gender-sensitive audits, and care-centered policy reforms. Rejecting techno-solutionism, it advances a Global South, justice-focused approach that prioritizes equity, contextual awareness, and lived realities in AI healthcare design. 2026 selection and editorial matter, Syed Nisar Hussain Bukhari; individual chapters, the contributors. -

Teaching through urban sensorium: urban spatiality as a smart learning environment
This paper qualitatively analyses the implication of urban sensorium as a pedagogic mode in the teaching of Urban Studies. Underpinned by the frames of smart learning environments, the paper reiterates experiencing urban ontologies as spatial learning environments. By drawing from a range of transdisciplinary and experiential modes of learning, this paper maps how an undergraduate course on Bangalore city in India served learners to critically engage with and experience spatial urban ontologies both digitally, and in real-world experiences of learning, furthering learner autonomy and reflection. The methodological prisms of this paper are autoethnography and critical reflection. It is organised around enabling learners recognize the experiential, embodied urban spaces through the urban sensorium via real-life engagements with urban spaces, and creation of digital portfolios that map this learning. Findings from the learners knowledge of sensory learning, the citys intersectional aspects, and the students embodied and emplaced self in built environments and digital spaces are analysed via cognitive and affective-reflection levels; the course instructor's reflection is analysed via a process-reflection level. These reflections hold implications for the pedagogy of urban studies in undergraduate classrooms by foregrounding spatiality and urban sensorium as significant critical and affective pedagogic tools. The paper has also accommodated critical engagement with an external faculty member as a co-author, in order to manage any bias or researcher subjectivity in the design. 2022, The Author(s). -
Teaching Learning-Based Optimization with Learning EnthusiasmMechanism for Optimal Control of PV Inverters in Utility Grids for Techno-Economic Goals
This study presents the optimal placement and operation of distributed generation (DG) sources in a distribution system embedded with utility-owned DG sources. Cost minimization and technical improvement of the network are the key objectives of the distribution company (DisCo). With the increasing popularity for renewable energy sources, DisCos are installing their own DGs to fulfill their electricity demand partially. When DisCos are the DG owners, the technical and economic considerations overlap. A novel method is proposed in this paper based on the recent variant of the teaching learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm and learning enthusiasm-based TLBO (LebTLBO) to optimize locations, sizes, and operational power factors of DGs in a distribution system with DisCo-owned DGs. A multi-objective function to improve voltage stability, reduce distribution losses, and reduce energy costs has been considered for solving the problem. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -
Teaching Language Through Literature: Introducing Aspects of Literary Nonsense
Nonsense Literature first came into existence after the publishers of nursery rhymes started using the term to describe the works of childrens literature. It evolved into a genre of childrens literature that is widely accepted for being covertly intellectually stimulating. It uses puns, riddles, trick questions, contrasts in language, paradoxes and oxymorons to raise philosophically challenging questions that break our ideas of conventional patterns of understanding grammar, logic and reason. Nonsense literature is known for defying the rules of conventional linguistics. It plays with the boundaries of what is linguistically acceptable with its wordplay. However, nonsense literature understands and explores the structures of grammar, logic and reason better than any other literary genre. It is the best source of instruction for the ways in which the fundamental structures of grammar can be manipulated to create more structures of meaning which are transformational in nature. It uses the basic knowledge of grammar to create new ideas and rules using devices such as portmanteau and neologisms. Most course syllabi either focus on language or literature, never both simultaneously. Since literary nonsense plays with both linguistic structures in its writing and logic and reason in its story, it becomes the perfect material for teaching language as well as literature in the classroom. 2023, IUP Publications.

Teaching Data Journalism: A Systematic Review
Data Journalism has attracted considerable academic attention as an innovative journalism practice in the recent past. It has resulted in a steady increase in academic research on data journalism. A subset of these studies deals with imparting training in data journalism. This study attempts to systematically review the peer-reviewed academic literature on data journalism training in order to ascertain the present status of academic research on the subject. By examining the studies, it brings together insights about the prevalent methods used in data journalism training, the challenges faced by the instructors, the recommended best practices and the students perception about data journalism training. The study finds that accommodating a new programme in the existing tight schedule of journalism curricula, alleviating the math-fear in students and adequately addressing the interdisciplinary nature of the practice through consistent up-skilling are some of the challenges faced by data journalism educators. It also finds that the academic literature on data journalism training is less concerned about imparting ethical awareness related to the practice. 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. -

Teaching as a political act: The role of critical pedagogical practices and curriculum
The present paper is an inquiry into the role of the teacher in the context of the dominant Indian value system, an imposed curriculum and teacher-students interactions from the social psychological and critical interdisciplinary perspectives. The role of the school in the present modernist worldview is to frame and impart knowledge which may lead to economic growth. In this context, the role of the teacher is observed as being limited to a bearer of information rather than a leader who visualizes change and develops critical ability among students. Based on the theoretical framework of postformalism and collective/social identity, the current work argues that the role of the teacher is not limited to passively following and communicating mainstream values but involves constructing a new participative identity through critical pedagogical engagement and by acting as an active agent of social change.

Teacher Trainee's Acceptance of Interactive eBooks for Teaching: An Analysis Using the Modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)
The current empirical study utilized the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to investigate teacher trainees' acceptance of interactive eBooks for teaching. The study investigated the relationships among variables such as attitude toward using interactive eBooks, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, enjoyment, perceived self-efficacy, and behavioural intention to use. A sample consisting of 89 teacher trainees studying in diploma and bachelors teacher training programs from two private and public universities in Malaysia participated in the study. The TAM model, which involves seven hypotheses, was tested using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling approach (PLS-SEM). The key findings of this empirical study confirmed that attitude influences both behaviour intention to use, and perceived self-efficacy of teacher trainees in teaching using interactive eBooks. Besides, the study confirmed a direct effect of ease of use on the level of enjoyment and a direct effect of perceived usefulness on the perception of ease of use. The study findings shed light on preparing teacher trainees for technology-integrated teaching. 2024, The Pacific Association for Computer Assisted Language Learning (PacCALL). All rights reserved.
