  194.                            <p class="info">This paper explores how mobile games can be used to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote sustainable behaviors. Drawing on environmental psychology and game-based learning, the study investigates how game mechanics such as resource management, ecological simulations, and narrative-driven environmental challenges can educate players about sustainability. The research examines case studies of games that integrate environmental themes, analyzing their impact on players' attitudes toward climate change, waste reduction, and conservation efforts. The paper proposes a framework for designing mobile games that not only entertain but also foster environmental stewardship and collective action.</p>

  221.                            <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>

  248.                            <p class="info">This research examines the intersection of mobile games and the evolving landscape of media consumption, particularly in the context of journalism and news delivery. The study explores how mobile games are influencing the way users consume information, engage with news stories, and interact with media content. By analyzing game mechanics such as interactive narratives, role-playing elements, and user-driven content creation, the paper investigates how mobile games can be leveraged to deliver news in novel ways that increase engagement and foster critical thinking. The research also addresses the challenges of misinformation, echo chambers, and the ethical implications of gamified news delivery.</p>
