  99.                    <p>This study examines the political economy of mobile game development, focusing on the labor dynamics, capital flows, and global supply chains that underpin the mobile gaming industry. The research investigates how outsourcing, labor exploitation, and the concentration of power in the hands of large multinational corporations shape the development and distribution of mobile games. Drawing on Marxist economic theory and critical media studies, the paper critiques the economic models that drive the mobile gaming industry and offers a critical analysis of the ethical, social, and political implications of the industry's global production networks.</p>
  100. <p>This study examines how mobile games can contribute to the development of smart cities, focusing on the integration of gaming technologies with urban planning, sustainability initiatives, and civic engagement efforts. The paper investigates the potential of mobile games to facilitate smart city initiatives, such as crowd-sourced data collection, environmental monitoring, and social participation. By exploring the intersection of gaming, urban studies, and IoT, the research discusses how mobile games can play a role in addressing contemporary challenges in urban sustainability, mobility, and governance.</p>
  101. <p>This study examines how engaging with mobile games affects attention span and cognitive control processes. It investigates both the potential benefits, such as improved focus, and the risks, such as attention deficits.This paper analyzes the development and diversification of mobile game genres over time, highlighting key trends and innovative game mechanics. It discusses how these changes reflect technological advancements and shifting player preferences.</p>
  102. <p>This study examines how mobile games can be used as tools for promoting environmental awareness and sustainability.

  248.                            <p class="info">This paper explores the convergence of mobile gaming and artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on how AI-driven algorithms are transforming game design, player behavior analysis, and user experience personalization. It discusses the theoretical underpinnings of AI in interactive entertainment and provides an extensive review of the various AI techniques employed in mobile games, such as procedural generation, behavior prediction, and adaptive difficulty adjustment. The research further examines the ethical considerations and challenges of implementing AI technologies within a consumer-facing entertainment context, proposing frameworks for responsible AI design in games.</p>
