  194.                            <p class="info">This research investigates how mobile games contribute to the transhumanist imagination by exploring themes of human enhancement and augmented reality (AR). The study examines how mobile AR games, such as Pokémon Go, offer new forms of interaction between players and their physical environments, effectively blurring the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds. Drawing on transhumanist philosophy and media theory, the paper explores the implications of AR technology for redefining human perception, cognition, and embodiment. It also addresses ethical concerns related to the over-reliance on AR technologies and the potential for social disconnection.</p>

  221.                            <p class="info">This research explores the importance of cultural sensitivity and localization in the design of mobile games for global audiences. The study examines how localization practices, including language translation, cultural adaptation, and regional sensitivity, influence the reception and success of mobile games in diverse markets. Drawing on cross-cultural communication theory and international marketing, the paper investigates the challenges and strategies for designing culturally inclusive games that resonate with players from different countries and cultural backgrounds. The research also discusses the ethical responsibility of game developers to avoid cultural appropriation, stereotypes, and misrepresentations, offering guidelines for creating culturally respectful and globally appealing mobile games.</p>

  248.                            <p class="info">This paper explores the increasing integration of social media features in mobile games, such as in-game sharing, leaderboards, and social network connectivity. It examines how these features influence player behavior, community engagement, and the overall gaming experience. The research also discusses the benefits and challenges of incorporating social elements into games, particularly in terms of user privacy, data sharing, and online safety.</p>
