Retirement alters established patterns of everyday life, social roles, and forms of participation, thereby placing new demands on older adults’ capacity to understand and regulate their own experiences. This study presents an author-developed andragogical model for working with anxiety symptoms among women of retirement age and examines the outcomes of its application. The study included 60 women, equally allocated to an experimental and a control group. Anxiety was measured before and after implementation of the model. The work with the experimental group was organised into successive stages comprising an authorial fairy tale, the symbolic naming of the anxious thought, sensory and bodily experience in a steam environment, movement and symbolic action in water, and concluding reflection. At baseline, the two groups had identical mean scores (M = 12.50; SD = 1.74). Following completion of the intervention, the mean score in the experimental group decreased to 8.00 points, whereas that of the control group remained virtually unchanged at 12.40 points. The reduction in the experimental group was 4.50 points (36.0%) and was statistically significant, t(29) = 8.44, p < 0.001. The difference in change between the two groups was 4.40 points, p < 0.001, with Hedges’ g = 1.96. The findings indicate the potential for an andragogical approach in which the experience of anxiety is incorporated into a process of recognition, symbolisation, bodily awareness, action, and reflection. Further research is required to establish the durability of the observed change and the reproducibility of the findings in other samples.

This work examines the relationship between media technology and adult learning, arguing that the growing population of adult learners in higher education requires instructors to rethink traditional, instructor-centered teaching methods. It defines adult learning as a voluntary, self-directed process and describes adult learners as diverse, experienced, goal-oriented individuals with unique socio-economic and developmental characteristics. The chapter conceptualizes media technology as digital and internet-enabled communication tools, such as social networking sites, mobile devices, blogs, wikis, and video streaming, and examines three platforms for integrating it into adult education: onsite, blended, and online. It further discusses synchronous and asynchronous online delivery and the use of print and multimedia materials. The benefits identified include improved learning outcomes, greater flexibility and access regardless of time or location, enhanced collaboration and interaction, and stronger support for self-directed and andragogical learning. The work concludes that effective integration of media technology extends learning beyond formal programmes and creates more flexible, collaborative, and learner-centered opportunities for adult learners.

This study examines the role of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) in academic communication, with particular attention to communication practices, academic success, and cultural awareness in multilingual and multicultural higher education contexts. As English increasingly serves as a common language among students, researchers, and faculty from diverse linguistic backgrounds, understanding its opportunities and challenges has become increasingly important. Data were collected through a 15-item online questionnaire completed by 36 participants from six countries, including undergraduate and graduate students and faculty members. The findings indicate that ELF is widely used for academic activities such as coursework, academic writing, presentations, meetings, and communication with international colleagues. Most participants reported confidence in using ELF and perceived it as beneficial to the quality of their academic work, international publication opportunities, and cross-cultural academic collaboration. However, participants also identified challenges related to linguistic accuracy, academic writing, communication anxiety, and comprehension. Notably, 91.7% of respondents perceived English proficiency as a factor in academic evaluation, while 97.2% supported greater institutional language support for non-native English-speaking scholars. Overall, the findings suggest that ELF functions not only as a means of facilitating academic communication and international collaboration but also as an important factor in shaping intercultural awareness and experiences of linguistic equity. The study highlights the need for inclusive academic practices and institutional support that recognize the diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds of ELF users.

This study looked at the impact of integrated disclosures, especially human capital disclosure, manufacturing capital disclosure and social capital disclosure, on the market value of listed industrial goods companies in Nigeria. The Tobins Q was used to measure the value of the firms, and regression analysis was performed to see how the non-financial disclosures affected the investors' expectations and valuation of firms. The result shows that the explanatory variables all had a significant effect on firm value though the effect varies with regard to the strength of impact and its direction. It is interesting to note that there is a significant negative effect of human capital disclosure on firm value suggesting that large disclosure about employee related information could make investors apprehensive of labour cost and pressures from employees/unions. Manufacturing capital disclosure however showed a positive and significant effect on firm value suggesting that disclosure of production capacities and innovations would improve the confidence of investors, while social capital disclosure showed a positive relation to firm value although statistically not significant suggesting that social activities have not really been noticed by the capital market in Nigeria. Overall, the study finds that rather than firm size, disclosure quality matters more in determining the value of industrial goods firms in Nigeria and recommends for improved integrated reporting system to boost firm value and investors.
