The utilization of yard land not only increases agricultural productivity but in economic terms can also increase socio-economic needs with good management. The benefits obtained by applying this principle are that the cost of shopping for food and vegetable needs can be reduced, and daily spice ingredients can be met. The purpose of writing this study is to find out and analyze how agricultural productivity in Indonesia is by utilizing yard land in residential homes and cities. The utilization of yard land to increase agricultural productivity has proven to be influential. The utilization of yard land that is managed properly will get great benefits, can preserve the environment, and minimize the use of inorganic materials. The utilization of this yard land has many benefits for the surrounding community both in terms of agricultural productivity and in terms of economy. The utilization of yard land can be done in various ways, starting from hydroponic cultivation techniques, aquaponics, vertical culture (hanging, attached, pot, or polybag systems).

Authors: Chieloka Okoli Solomon , Phelomena Onaga
Published: February 2025

The burden of Newcastle disease may continue to increase due to non-adherence to poultry vaccination policies among some commercial poultry farmers. The purpose of this study was to investigate a suspected outbreak of Newcastle disease (ND) among clusters of vaccinated and unvaccinated poultry chickens. Poultry Farm (Farm Z) with 600 capacity deep litter pen (A and B) and capacity of 300 birds each procured two sets of poultry at 21 days of life from two separate farms (X and Y mixed layer & broiler) on the 2nd of May 2024. Pen A: was stocked with Layers of chicken from farm (X) poultry chicken has prior vaccination against ND as of 21st of May 2024 (N=242), Pen B were stocked with broilers chicken (N₂=216) from farm Y with no history of vaccination against Newcastle diseases as at 21st of May, 2024. On the 5th of May, 2024, 142 poultry chickens were procured comprising 58 layers and 84 broilers from farm (Y) with no vaccination history against Newcastle disease to make up a poultry flock size of 300 in each pen A (N=58; 242), Pen B (N₂=84;216). The risk of NCD amongst Vaccinated poultry was 3% and 45% in unvaccinated poultry. The relative risk of NCD in the vaccinated poultry population was 7%, and vaccine effectiveness against ND in vaccinated Poultry was 97%. 142(100%) samples from moribund and dead poultry chicken were positive for Newcastle disease by indirect ELISA test of these 8(6%) were from vaccinated poultry and 134(94%) were unvaccinated. Practices such as mixing of vaccinated and unvaccinated poultry flocks may be inimical to the growth of the poultry subsector. Vaccination regimens against ND in poultry should not be compromised as a means to reduce the cost of production by procuring cheap unvaccinated apparently healthy flocks

The object of the study is the phenomenon of cultural apophatics, manifested in Russian artistic verbal culture, in poetry.
The subject of scientific work is the figurative realizations of this phenomenon in modern poetry. The material for the
article was the poetry of Valery Dudarev (editor-in-chief of the literary magazine “Youth” from 2007 to 2019), namely his
poems from the early winter cycle, presented in the collections “On the slope of the twentieth century” and “Vetla”. The
center of the hermeneutic analysis is the figurative realizations of the phenomenon of apophatics in the poet's poetry
collection, which manifested the apophatic tradition of color and light associated with the existential loneliness,
knowledge of the Other. We turn to Pushkin's text, views on the art of artists of the modernist era, V. Kandinsky at the
typological level. We consider in detail the concept of “apophatics”, without which it is impossible to make a methodological breakthrough in terms of understanding the ontological issues of creativity. The results of the study consist in
identifying the cultural-philosophical potential of modern poetry for further study of the problem of apophatics as a phenomenon of Russian artistic culture, its national existence. The results of the work may be of interest to literary scholars
who include literature in the space of the great Bakhtinian dialogue of cultures, and can also be used in teaching courses
on cultural studies and philosophy.

Рецензируемая монография доктора филологических наук, профессора Вятского государственного гуманитарного университета Ольги Михайловны Валовой и доктора филологических наук, профессора Рязанского государственного университета имени С. А. Есенина Владимира Григорьевича Решетова посвящена изучению конкретного аспекта творчества О. Уайльда: жанровой и стилевой специфике трагедий британского классика. Доминантой исследования стала философская составляющая творчества писателя, а также философская база его эстетизма, поэтому, подробно и последовательно анализируя пьесы, авторы монографии не ограничиваются рассмотрением только драматического наследия Уайльда, представив в своей работе новый целостный портрет крупнейшего деятеля английского декаданса. Монография вышла в свет в преддверии 170-летнего юбилея Оскара Уайльда.

The peer-reviewed monograph by Olga Mikhaylovna Valova, doctor of philology, professor of Vyatka State University for the Humanities, and Vladimir Grigoryevich Reshetov, Doctor of Philology, Professor of Ryazan State University named for S. A. Yesenin, is devoted to the study of a specific aspect of O. Wilde’s work: the genre and style specificity of the British playwright’s tragedies. The dominant feature of the study is the philosophical component of the writer’s work, as well as the philosophical basis of his aestheticism, so, analyzing the plays in detail and consistently, the authors of the monograph do not limit themselves to the consideration of Wilde’s dramatic heritage alone, presenting in their work a new holistic portrait of this major figure of the English decadence. The monograph was published on the eve of Oscar Wilde’s 170thanniversary.
Design and Implementation of Monitoring System for Lethal Events of High-Risk COVID-19 Patients
Authors: Qasim Naeem Suhad , Ibrahim Majeed Ammar , Nateq ALfaisaly Noor
Published: February 2025

The monitoring of COVID-19 patients has been greatly aided by the Internet of Things (IoT). Vital signs, symptoms, and mobility data can be gathered and analyzed by IoT devices, including wearables, sensors, and cameras. This information can be utilized to spot early infection symptoms, monitor the illness's development, and stop the virus from spreading. It's critical to take vital signs of hospitalized patients in order to assess their health. Although early warning scores are often calculated three times a day, they might not indicate decompensation symptoms right away. Death rates are higher when deterioration is not properly diagnosed. By employing wearable technology, these ongoing assessments may be able to spot clinical deterioration early and facilitate prompt therapies. This research describes the use of Internet of Things (IoT) to follow fatal events in high-risk COVID-19 patients. These patients' vital signs, which include blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, blood oxygen level, and fever, are taken and fed to a central server on a regular basis so that information may be processed, stored, and published instantly. After processing, the data is utilized to monitor the patients' condition and send Short Message Service (SMS) alerts when the patients' vital signs rise above predetermined thresholds. The system's design, which is based on two ESP32 controllers, sensors for the vital signs listed above, and a gateway, provides real-time reports, high-risk alerts, and patient status information. Clinicians, the patient's family, or any other authorized person can keep an eye on and follow the patient's status at any time and from any location. The main contribution in this work is the designed algorithm used in the gateway and the manner in which this gateway collects, analyze, process, and send the patient’s data to the IoT server from one side and the manner in which the gateway deals with the IoT server in the other side. The proposed method leads to reduce the cost and the time the system it takes to get the patient’s status report.
Andi Ibrahim Masdar's Strenght Analysis at the Golkar Party of Polewali Mandar Regency
Authors: Asriani  , Taufik Ikhsan  , Nizar
Published: February 2025

The presence of the Golkar party in the areas is intrinsically linked to the authority and resources wielded by its chairman. In the Mandar mayoral race, Golkar, during the New Order period, leveraged Masdar's influence derived from a bureaucratic foundation. Following Masdar's leadership in the Golkar Party, his son Andi Ibrahim Masdar assumed leadership. Internal issues within the Golkar party prompted Andi Ibrahim Masdar to resign, thus leading to his replacement by Samsul Mahmud. Despite Andi Ibrahim Masdar's departure from the Golkar Party, he retains devoted cadres. This study seeks to evaluate the current influence of Andi Ibrahim Masdar within the Golkar Party. The power of Andi Ibrahim Masdar will be examined through the lens of Pierre Bourdieu's capital theory and Suzanna Keller's elite theory. This study employs a qualitative methodology through in-depth interviews with multiple informants knowledgeable about the issue to generate a thorough analysis. The study's findings indicate that Andi Ibrahim Masdar emerged as a pivotal elite inside the Golkar Party due to his possession of social capital, cultural capital, and financial capital, hence affording him distinct advantages over other party cadres.

Como renovar cafetales que presenten infestaciones de la broca del caf�
Authors:   Centro Nacional de Investigaciones de Caf�
Published: February 2025

Cuando un lote por renovar est� infestado con la broca del caf�, /Hypothenemus hampei/ (Ferrari), esta labor se debe hacer inmediatamente despu�s de la cosecha principal, una vez que se ha realizado una buena recolecci�n de frutos. Por tanto, este per�odo var�a de acuerdo con la distribuci�n de las cosechas en las diferentes zonas cafeteras del pa�s. Se recomienda establecer intervalos de tiempo cortos y bien definidos para la renovaci�n, que abarquen m�ximo dos meses despu�s de la cosecha principal, por ejemplo: Enero-Febrero, cuando la cosecha principal ocurre en el segundo semestre del a�o; Julio-Agosto cuando la cosecha se realiza en el primer semestre. Se indica que si la renovaci�n no se hace siguiendo las recomendaciones aqu� expuestas se corre el peligro de acelerar la diseminaci�n de las poblaciones de la broca a otros lotes de la finca � a fincas vecinas.

Modeling the Saddle-like GeV–TeV Spectrum of HESS J1809–193: Gamma Rays Arising from Reverse-shocked Pulsar Wind Nebula?
Authors: Sun Jiaxu , Chen Yang , Bao Yiwei , Zhang Xiao , Zhou Xin
Published: February 2025

The evolution of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) could be expected to leave imprints in gamma rays. We suggest that the intriguing GeV–TeV spectral energy distribution (SED) of HESS J1809–193 and Fermi-LAT source J1810.3–1925e is very likely to be the gamma-ray signature of PWN J1809–193 in light of the scenario that the PWN was struck by the reverse shock of the parent supernova remnant. Based on the evolutionary theory of PWNe, we consider that, when the PWN was disrupted during a collision by the reverse shock, some VHE electrons escaped impulsively. The remaining electrons stayed in the relic PWN, which was displaced from the pulsar. The VHE part of the remaining electrons was depleted by the strong magnetic field that was enhanced by the reverse shock compression in the reverberation stage, leaving the other part of them generating GeV emission. The particles injected from the pulsar after the disruption enter the relic PWN through the newly formed tunnel called the cocoon. The gamma-ray emission from the escaped electrons can account for the TeV spectrum of component A of HESS J1809–193 or the TeV halo, while the electrons remaining after disruption can account for the GeV spectrum of J1810.3–1925e. Thus, the combination of contributions from these two populations of electrons naturally reproduces the saddle-like SED of HESS 1809–193 and J1810.3–1925e from 5 GeV to 30 TeV, together with the spectral hardening around 100 GeV. We also show that the post-disruption injection of electrons can explain the spectrum of the relatively faint gamma-ray emission of component B of HESS J1809–193.
Thermally Driven Atmospheric Escape: Transition from Diffusion-limited to Drag-off Escape
Authors: Evans Jack C. , Carberry Mogan Shane Robert , Johnson Robert E. , Tucker Orenthal J.
Published: February 2025

We examine the transition from diffusion-limited to drag-off escape using a direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) model developed to simulate planetary atmospheres, referred to as Harrah. A 1D spherically symmetric DSMC model is used to simulate two-component atmospheres to focus on the impact of rarefaction on thermal diffusion. The results for the escape rates and thermal structure are characterized using a mass-averaged Jeans parameter, λ
avg,0, and Knudsen number, Kna,0, defined at a reference radial distance r
0. As a test of the model, we simulated the escape of N2 and H2 self-consistently for conditions of Pluto’s upper atmosphere observed during the New Horizons mission. As expected, the DSMC result for H2 escape is consistent with the diffusion-limited approximation, and H2 escape has little effect on the background N2 atmosphere. Then we examined the transition from diffusion-limited to drag-off escape for two-component atmospheres characterized by mass-averaged Knudsen numbers and Jeans parameters of Kna,0 ≈ 0.01–0.1 and λ
avg,0 ≈ 0.5–13, respectively. We found that escape transitioned from hydrodynamic escape to an enhanced Jeans-like escape at λ
avg,0 ≈ 3.0–3.6. For values of λ
avg,0 < 3.0–3.6, escape was hydrodynamic and in the blow-off regime. For values of λ
avg,0 >≈ 3.6, the DSMC results indicated that using the diffusion-limited and drag-off approximations can lead to inaccurate estimates of the escape rate.

Bats possess unique physiological adaptations, including thermophysiological flexibility, which enable them to tolerate and harbor diverse pathogens without overt disease. Their ability to sustain powered flight and enter torpor or hibernation contributes to their immune resilience, making them important reservoirs for zoonotic pathogens such as viruses (rabies, Ebola, coronaviruses) and bacteria (Leptospira, Salmonella, Bartonella, Rickettsia). Bats' dense social roosting and migratory behaviors facilitate pathogen transmission, underscoring the need for effective surveillance.

This study examined the blood microbiomes of five bat species from the Vespertilionidae and Rhinolophidae families inhabiting three caves in northern Bulgaria (Devetashka, Orlova, and Parnicite). Using pooled blood samples (n=120) and two bat hearts, DNA was extracted for microbiome analysis via shotgun metagenomic sequencing, alongside PCR-based detection of human pathogens.

Bacterial phyla and genera distribution varied significantly among bat species, with prominent genera including Bacillus, Mycoplasma, Pseudomonas, and Sphingobacterium. Alpha diversity, measured by the Simpson index, revealed slightly higher microbial diversity in Miniopterus schreibersii and Myotis myotis, with no significant differences among cave populations. Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) highlighted distinct microbial community compositions between bat species and cave locations. PCR results identified Mycobacterium in 26 of 34 blood samples and in 1 of 2 heart tissue samples, suggesting its prevalence in bat populations. No samples tested positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Brucella spp., Coxiella burnetii, or Toxoplasma gondii, indicating the absence of these pathogens in the sampled individuals. The detection of atypical Mycobacteria and Brucella sp. in the bats' blood emphasizes its potential role as an opportunistic pathogen and the need for further investigation into its zoonotic significance. These findings highlight the diversity and zoonotic potential of bat-associated microbiomes, supporting the need for continued pathogen surveillance in bat populations. All metagenomic shotgun sequencing data were published at NCBI Sequence Read Archive under the bioproject number PRJNA1215671.
Representation of medieval climate fluctuations in Central Asia in the toponymic system: Historical and geographical data
Authors: Kaimuldinova Kulyash , Laiskhanov Shakhislam , Aliaskarov Duman , Tobajanov Rakhat , Nizamatdinova Zhulduz
Published: February 2025

This article considers the nature of climate changes in the Middle Ages of Central Asia and the influence of these changes on the toponymy in the region. The aim of the study is to analyze the manifestation of climate changes in the names of natural objects described in historical data of Central Asia and to study whether the semantic load of toponyms corresponds to the current geographical reality. The spatial identification of toponyms found in medieval historical sources, their etymological and semantic analysis, determination of the correspondence between toponyms and the present geographical nature of objects are carried out in accordance with the aim of the research. Climate changes will lead to changes in soil, vegetation and fauna. The presence of information describing the natural conditions in the period of their appearance in toponyms makes it possible to use them as indicators of landscape changes in historical geography. It was found that toponyms reflect climate changes in Central Asia, and thus they can be used as a source of information in the reconstruction of landscapes of past periods as a result of the research. It was found that the meaning of historical names preserved in the region from the period called “medieval pluvial” or “medieval climate anomaly” (between 900–1300 AD) does not correspond to the nature of the present landscape as a result of climate changes. The research methodology and results can be used in the future on a wider scale for other regions or in historical-geographical studies related to certain time periods.
Seeds and vegetative propagules of all selected invasive plants in Europe do not survive industrial composting
Authors: Tomše Sabina , Resnik Marjeta , Gorjan Nejc , Strgulc Krajšek Simona
Published: February 2025

Plant material of invasive alien plant species (IAPS) must be appropriately disposed of to prevent unintended spread. The current guidelines in Slovenia and in several other European countries recommend composting only the parts of the plants from which they cannot sprout and reproduce. At the same time, the vegetative propagules and seeds should be incinerated. We tested whether the seeds and vegetative propagules (rhizomes, stolons, tubers, and branches) of 30 selected IAPS survive industrial composting, which is the method of processing collected organic waste and green cut from parks and gardens. Mature seeds and vegetative propagules were packed in metal boxes, which were filled with compost and included in the hygienisation phase of biowaste processing at the Regional Waste Management Centre, RCERO Ljubljana. After the industrial composting for 17 days, seed germination and viability tests were done and compared with a control group of seeds collected from the same plants but not undergoing the composting process. The composted and fresh vegetative propagules were planted in pots with soil, and the number of rooted parts was counted. None of the seeds and the vegetative propagules survived the industrial composting process, and we can conclude that it is safe to dispose of the IAPS like other organic waste or green cut.

"If Only Truber Had Been a Croat!" Slovene Variations on the Theme of a Common Slavic Literary Language from the Reformation to the Neo-Illyrian Period
Authors: Seitz Elisabeth
Published: February 2025

Whenever leading Slovene intellectuals were in the position todecide about a large-scale solution to the literary language question,there was to be a fierce debate for several years, with the minimalist view eventually prevailing. Representatives of three differently motivated movements, the Reformation, Illyrism and Neo-Illyrism, tried to restore the linguistic unity among the South Slavs (mostly excluding the Bulgarians from the start). Accordingly, the literary language for all South Slavs was to be based either on one of the regional dialects, aiming for a wider reading public in order to spread the reformation doctrine also among the uneducated, or it was to be the language of sophisticated literature, based on lexical and morphological featurescommon to most South Slavic dialects, in order to create a nation by creating a national literature for all South Slavs (or, sometimes even wider, for all Slavs). In the third period, in the Neo-Illyrist movement, the idea was to create a common literary language for the useof all inhabitants of a Yugoslav state after the dissolution of the Habsburg Monarchy: the identification of its citizens with their state was to be strengthened by linguistic unity. The Slovenian clergy's, writers' and intellectuals' attitudes towards suggestions for a common South Slavic literary language, the topic of discussion in the present paper, appear to be mostly rather skeptical than friendly, and, while there were among the Slovenes men like Sebastian Krelj in the 16th, Stanko Vraz and Matija Majar-Ziljski in the 19th and Fran Ilešič in the20th century, who played the parts of protagonists of a wider concept of literary language, fusing the Slovene and the Croatian dialectal basis, there were others who took a minimalist point of view at least as decidedly, accepting nothing outside the Slovene dialects as a basis for a literary language used by Slovenes. The best known among themwere Primus Truber, Jernej Kopitar, France Prešeren and Ivan Cankar, and it was their minimalist notion of the Slovene literary language that each time prevailed in the end. Now, at the end of the 20th century, the Slovene literary language is, for the first time in history, on its way towards validity in all fields of private and public life in the Republic of Slovenia.
Glagolska referenca (nanašanje) kot oblika ustvarjanja kohezije
Authors: Burazer Lara
Published: February 2025

Avtorica v članku najprej izpostavi razliko v pojmovanju reference v filozofskem in jezikoslovnem smislu, nato pa na primeru Hallidayjevega sistemsko-funkcijskega modela opredeli pojem glagolske reference. Ta je izražena z rabo splošnopomenskih glagolov, v povezavi s kazalnimi zaimki. Ugotovitev je v članku podkrepljena s slovenskimi in angleškimi zgledi, ki poudarjajo tesno povezanost splošnopomenskega glagola s kazalnim zaimkom kot referenčno enoto. Pri tem se pokaže tudi ugotovitev, da v slovenščini funkcijo splošnopomenskega glagola privzema niz glagolskih nadpomenk, medtem ko v angleščini to vlogo opravlja izključno za-glagol do.
Na področju besediloslovja se avtorji pri obravnavi reference kot kohezivnega sredstva razhajajo. Npr. de Beaugrande in Dressler referenco obravnavata v povezavi s substitucijo, saj po njunem mnenju obe sredstvi delujeta na ravni rabe za-oblik. Trdita, da je substitucija oblika reference in obratno. Tu se kot pomemben element nanašalnosti v angleščini pokaže določni člen, v slovenščini pa naletimo na pojav ničtega pozaimljenja. Obe značilnosti zaznamujeta temeljno razlikovanje v analiziranju glagolske reference v slovenščini in angleščini.
Referenca je s strani avtorjev Lo Cascia in Howelinga predstavljena tudi z vidika odnosov med glagolskimi dejanji, izraženimi z rabo slovničnih časov. Glagolska dejanja sta razdelila na avtonomna in neavtonomna, pri čemer so avtonomna dejanja deiktična in predstavljajo odnosnico neavtonomnim dejanjem. Tu se zopet pokaže razlika med slovenščino in angleščino. V angleščini je to razmerje med glagolskimi dejanji izraženo z rabo različnih slovničnih časov, v slovenščini pa je zajeto v semantični vrednosti glagolskih oblik.
V zaključku avtorica poudari pomen reference kot domene glagolskih, in ne le samostalniških prvin. Referenca v jezikoslovju predstavlja kompleksno področje, ki se na ravni diskurzne obravnave prepleta z obravnavo slovničnih časov.

Slovene "štepselj" and "štofeljc"
Authors: Jazbec Helena
Published: February 2025

Both Sn štepselj -na m 'a small, plump person' and Sn štofeljc -a m 1. 'something (e.g., a bung or cork) used to plug an opening' 2. expr 'a small person' are recent German loanwords, based on two etymologically connected words with different suffixes: Bav. Stepsl -s m 1. 'something (e.g., a bung or cork) used to plug an opening' 2. expr 'a small, plump person' and Bav Stoppel -s m 'idem' respectively. They are accompanied by a group of loaned verbs, which influence their phonetic features. There are similar loans in some other Slavic languages and in Hungarian, like Slovene all neighbors of Bavarian Austrian, which proves to be their direct source.
Choix des études et abandon scolaire précoce dans l’enseignement secondaire espagnol
Authors: Jiménez Ramírez Magdalena , González Faraco Juan Carlos
Published: February 2025

Les données montrent régulièrement que les taux espagnols d’abandon scolaire précoce et de chômage des jeunes restent, malgré des améliorations récentes, les plus élevés d’Europe. Une part importante de ce problème trouve son origine dans l’enseignement secondaire et, en particulier, dans ses transitions. Cet article analyse cette situation et ses conséquences sur les trajectoires de vie des étudiants. Il étudie également les actions que l’on souhaite mettre en œuvre pour atténuer ces problèmes, notamment : la promotion de la formation professionnelle duale, la diversification et la flexibilisation des itinéraires de formation, et le développement de l’orientation scolaire et familiale, en ce qui concerne le choix des études pendant et à la fin de l’enseignement secondaire obligatoire.
Orientation et épanouissement de l’étudiant dans l’enseignement supérieur burundais
Authors: Nizigiyimana Janvier , Nshimirimana Révérien , Ntwari Innocent
Published: February 2025

L’orientation des étudiants à l’Université du Burundi est gérée par une commission d’orientation nommée par le recteur. Elle est censée tenir compte du choix personnel de la filière par l’étudiant, ainsi que de la capacité d’accueil et d’encadrement par l’institution. L’article traite du rapprochement entre l’orientation de l’étudiant (volontaire ou non) et son épanouissement à l’Institut d’éducation physique et des sports. La majorité des étudiants de première année y sont orientés contre leur volonté. Des entretiens et une enquête par questionnaire montrent que le niveau de satisfaction dans les apprentissages et le sentiment d’épanouissement sont statistiquement liés au fait d’avoir choisi personnellement l’Institut ou non, tout comme la facilité d’adaptation de l’étudiant. Cependant, les étudiants s’adaptent facilement, même s’ils n’ont pas choisi ce cursus.
Les choix scolaires en Australie
Authors: Perry Laura B.
Published: February 2025

L’Australie offre de nombreuses possibilités d’exercer des choix scolaires. Elles concernent principalement le choix d’une école par les familles et le choix d’une filière d’études dans l’enseignement secondaire. Ces choix ne sont généralement pas directement restreints ni régulés par les autorités éducatives, les établissements ou les enseignants. Au contraire, ils relèvent principalement des familles et des élèves. Les autorités éducatives et les établissements scolaires jouent cependant un rôle indirect en façonnant les choix qui s’offrent aux élèves, principalement par le biais de mécanismes de financement qui conduisent à un système scolaire stratifié et ségrégué limitant le choix scolaire pour les familles disposant de ressources limitées.
Un regard sur les facteurs qui influencent les choix éducatifs des adolescents en Uruguay
Authors: Viscardi Etchart Nilia
Published: February 2025

En Uruguay, à la fin de la quatrième année de l’enseignement secondaire, les élèves doivent définir leur parcours scolaire ultérieur en choisissant des options spécifiques. L’article s’intéresse aux facteurs qui influencent les choix éducatifs des adolescents et le contexte de leurs parcours éducatifs au moment où ce choix doit être fait, c’est-à-dire à l’âge de 15 ans. L’analyse porte sur l’orientation professionnelle proposée dans le cadre des programmes éducatifs ; le rôle des acteurs pédagogiques et des psychologues dans les lycées ; le poids de la famille. Si, ces dernières années, un plus grand nombre de jeunes issus de familles à faibles revenus parviennent à réussir dans le système éducatif, des inégalités persistent et se reproduisent au niveau de l’enseignement secondaire au moment du choix de formation.

Published: February 2025

The aviation industry faces significant sustainability challenges. Efforts aim to reduce carbon emissions, conserve natural resources, and increase societal benefits by balancing environmental and operational efficiency. Personnel play a critical role in implementing sustainability through training, incentives, and the development of corporate cultures that encourage environmentally responsible behaviours. Conversely, insufficient resources and institutional pressures can undermine long-term goals and lead to unsustainable practices. Insights from personnel, particularly regarding processes such as waste management and energy efficiency, are vital for strategic improvements. This study investigates sustainability behaviours through semi-structured interviews with 18 aviation interns who observed various work groups. The findings reveal both sustainable and unsustainable practices, paving the way for the aviation industry.

Interactive Activity Communications That Support Course Implementation and Instructional Engagement
Authors: Newsum Janice Moore , Andrews Sharon K. , Crawford Caroline M.
Published: February 2025

Three participants come together in a multiple case study approach, to analyze learner-focused and instructor-focused interactive activities within distance learning environments. Instructors and learners are considered from an instructor perspective, reflecting upon specific experiences, implementing and facilitation communication dynamics in distance education courses, from a learner experience and an instructional facilitator experience. Equally impactful is the consideration towards the extent that distance education has changed during the participant's careers as embedded in the higher education field. Additionally, consideration towards generative artificial intelligence, large language models as considerations towards machine learning, and simulations, are considered as current and future considerations within distance education course implementation and instructional facilitation efforts. Emphasized are significant gaps in practice and gaps in the literature.
Connecting Adult Learners
Authors: Zaccarini Jonathan , Russell Roxanne
Published: February 2025

Higher education institutions need to adapt to new technology and new student demographics; however, this requires careful consideration of communication tools among adult learners. The main focus of this chapter is to examine the need for communication tools, along with asynchronous and synchronous learning activities, and how they contribute to peer social presence amongst adult learners within an online graduate public health program. Student experiences with using Yellowdig and Zoom will be discussed, using data from a survey focus group. Results show that these adult learners were able to perceive impressions of each other and build a community while completing the first year of their graduate program. This chapter extends the findings on student perceptions of technology facilitated social presence within text-centered environments; however, additional research is needed using larger student samples within online graduate public health programs.
