Summary: This paper systematically reviews 51 studies on student agency in international higher education, focusing on the voices and perspectives of international students. The analysis found that the concept of agency is often used as a buzzword rather than a well-developed concept. Based on this analysis, the paper proposes an integrative framework and suggests implications for future research.

Summary: This article systematically reviews the use of change theory in STEM higher education from 1995 to 2019. It found that research in this domain often focuses on individual change theories rather than considering the system in which change occurs, and often uses theory in a superficial way. A lack of theoretical coherence limits the collective knowledge about achieving change, highlighting the need for more synthetic theoretical work and greater focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in change research.

Summary: Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) play a crucial role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda. This study examines how HEIs around the world incorporate these goals and agenda into their activities. Through a systematic review of literature and analysis of empirical cases, the study identifies good practices for implementing the SDGs and discusses barriers that hinder the integration of HEIs with sustainable development guidelines. The findings highlight the importance of aligning strategic planning with all levels of an institution to inform decision-making by higher management.

Summary: Critical reading is becoming increasingly important for university graduates, but there is a lack of research on critical reading skills in higher education, especially in Asian STEM education. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on the effects of integrating critical reading into STEM education and explore a conceptual framework to develop critical reading abilities among Asian undergraduates.

Summary: This systematic review examined the use of standard-setting methods in simulation-based training of surgical procedures. Most studies considered and described how standard settings were established, but there were significant differences in study design, setup, and expert level classification. Surgical education is shifting towards competency-based education, with simulation-based training being increasingly used for skill acquisition and assessment.

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.

Summary: This study uses survey data from the Loess Plateau in China to evaluate the impact of social interaction on the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) technology by farmers. The study finds that social interaction increases the likelihood of farmers adopting SWC, and internet use moderates this effect. The positive impact of social interaction on SWC adoption is more pronounced for farmers in larger villages and those who join cooperative societies.
