The adoption of disruptive technologies in higher education has transformed the teaching-learning process, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the real impact of these technologies on educational innovation and their variation between different contexts and areas of knowledge are not yet fully understood. It is essential to carry out studies that explore the trends and areas where these technologies have had the greatest impact, as well as to identify the less studied fields that require greater attention. By employing a quantitative approach and exploratory-descriptive scope, this study reviewed 88 studies, extracted from the Scopus database. The results show a growing and sustained trend, especially in the post-pandemic period, in the scientific production of research on technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, big data, and gamification. Therefore, it is concluded that disruptive technologies have taken on a central role in the innovation of university education, in which gamification—a disruptive technology already consolidated as an effective tool to promote student motivation and commitment, even in pre-pandemic contexts—has proven to be key to transforming teaching-learning processes. However, significant gaps were identified in topics such as adaptive learning, the application of big data and fuzzy neural networks in higher education, which, although promising, have been scarcely explored. Future research could focus on determining the factors that influence the effective implementation of disruptive technologies in higher education as well as identifying good practices and ethical principles in the implementation of disruptive technologies in higher education.

Published: December 2024

A lo largo de la historia, la música ha tenido múltiples funciones: en la antigüedad, era utilizada en rituales religiosos, ceremonias, celebraciones de la cosecha y en la guerra; en la actualidad, sigue desempeñando roles significativos, contribuye al bienestar emocional, actúa como una herramienta de comunicación no verbal y tiene la capacidad de influir en el estado de ánimo y el comportamiento de las personas. Desde los sonidos rítmicos generados al golpear piedras y madera, hasta las complejas composiciones musicales de la actualidad, la música ha sido un reflejo de las emociones, tradiciones y contextos sociales de cada cultura; se ha convertido en un elemento esencial de las expresiones humanas, siendo un medio para transmitir sentimientos, contar historias, establecer conexiones entre comunidades y fortalecer la identidad cultural. La música también ha evolucionado el tiempo, dando lugar a una rica diversidad de géneros y estilos, desde lo clásico hasta lo contemporáneo, esto le permite adaptarse a diferentes momentos y contextos, siendo una forma de expresión íntima y, a la vez, un fenómeno cultural colectivo. Estudios neurocientíficos han demostrado que la música estimula varias regiones del cerebro, lo que la convierte en un recurso poderoso para mejorar la memoria, fomentar la creatividad y potenciar el aprendizaje. Es importante investigar si la música influye en el comportamiento de las personas, porque, según los expertos en neurociencia, tiene un impacto en el sistema nervioso; al ser una parte fundamental de la vida de cada individuo, la música puede generar efectos diversos en cada persona, teniendo en cuenta que los gustos musicales son distintos y pueden moldear su comportamiento en la sociedad. Se empleó la técnica análisis de correlación, para comprobar si existía una dependencia significativa entre el gusto por un género musical específico y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de Bachillerato General Unificado.

Published: December 2024

Исследованы высокотемпературные свойства кристалла вольфрамата кадмия (CdWO4), имеющего широкую область применения, в том числе и в качестве сцинтиллятора благодаря своим оптическим и излучательным свойствам. CdWO4 сохраняет высокую структурную стабильность до 1150 °C, но начинает разлагаться при 1200 °C. Рассчитаны параметры кристаллической решетки и коэффициенты термического расширения, выявившие максимальное расширение вдоль оси b. Исследуемый образец показал высокий уровень пропускания в диапазоне ~0,32–5,0 мкм, что подтверждает высокое оптическое качество кристалла и его потенциал в фотонных приложениях. Исследования фотолюминесценции в диапазоне температур 23–200 °C выявили два типа люминесцентных переходов E1 и E2, а также снижение интенсивности спектров при росте температуры с затуханием на 200 °C, причем тенденция снижения зависит от длины волны возбуждения.

Introduction: Understanding safety issues in competitive freediving is necessary for taking preventive actions and to minimise the risk for the athletes.
Methods: We analysed occurrence of loss of consciousness (LOC) and pulmonary barotrauma (PBt) in various freediving disciplines in 988 competitions over five years (from 2019 to 2023 inclusive), with 38,789 officially registered performances (starts): 26,403 in pool disciplines and 12,386 in depth disciplines.
Results: Average incident rate in competitive freediving (all cases: LOCs plus PBt, 2019−2023) was 3.43% (1,329 incidents / 38,789 starts). The average incident rate of LOC and PBt within five years were 3.31% and 0.38% respectively for all disciplines. Two disciplines present higher risk for LOC: dynamic without fins (DNF) (mean risk ratio (RR) = 1.48, 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.96, P < 0.01) and constant weight without fins (CNF) (mean RR = 2.02, 95% CI, 1.39 to 2.94, P < 0.001). The RR for PBt was not higher in any discipline. The overall risk of all types of incidents (LOC plus PBt) was also higher for DNF (mean RR = 1.55, 95% CI, 1.18 to 2.04, P < 0.01) and CNF (mean RR = 2.80, 95% CI, 1.70 to 5.04, P < 0.001).
Conclusions: The disciplines without fins in the pool (DNF) and at depth (CNF) appear to be the most dangerous in terms of LOC. We may recommend that organisers and safety teams should pay a special attention to no-fin disciplines as most risky for possible LOC.

Abstract
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Syngenta Crop Protection AG submitted a request to the competent national authority in Austria to set an import tolerance for the active substance azoxystrobin in melons and watermelons. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for melons and watermelons. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of azoxystrobin on the commodities under consideration at the validated LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg. Based on the risk assessment results, noting that an acute risk assessment was not deemed necessary for azoxystrobin, EFSA concluded that the long‐term intake of residues resulting from the use of azoxystrobin according to the reported agricultural practices is unlikely to present a risk to consumer health. It is to be noted that the chronic consumer exposure estimated for residues in animal commodities is indicative due to data gaps related to the toxicity of livestock metabolites L1, L4, L9 and K1.
Compendium of Information on the Use of Guideline‐Based Developmental Neurotoxicity Studies*
Authors: Crofton Kevin M. , Mundy William R.
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Recent regulatory use of in vitro assays for developmental neurotoxicity have promulgated the development of initial OECD guidance for use of data from the developmental neurotoxicity in vitro battery (DNT IVB). One limitation in use of data from NAMs like the DNT IVB are the uncertainties of in vitro to predict in vivo effects. The lack of any curated database of in vivo DNT studies hampers such a comparison. The goal of the current effort was construction of a repository of all DNT studies defined as publicly available studies that followed DNT and/or reproductive guidelines containing a DNT cohort. The first specific aim was construction of a dataset that identified published studies and regulatory documents that mention completed, underway or planned DNT studies. This included documents which use read across as well agency waivers for DNT studies. The second aim identified those documents from Aim 1 that report the results of completed DNT studies. The third aim identified DNT studies that provide regulatory reviews with summary data. A total of 1648 documents were found from the overall search that had evidence of, 1) a completed, ongoing, or planned DNT study; 2) a read‐across or planned read‐across; or 3) a waiver. The 1648 documents included 324 DNT study citations. Final filtering of these data yielded a list of 153 DNT studies conducted on 144 chemicals and one stressor (diet restriction) for which there were both extensive data summaries and regulatory reviews. These results likely undercount the number of conducted studies due to the limited release of information from many regulatory agencies. In addition, the amount of information provided publicly available reviews ranges widely, from a one sentence summary to an extensive review with summaries of the methods, results and data interpretations. It is hoped that this paper will persuade regulatory agencies to release more DNT studies that provide comprehensive information. This will foster transparency and ensure public confidence in regulatory decisions. In addition, these results should provide data that promotes comparisons between in vitro and in vivo DNT methods.

Abstract
The main objectives of EFSA's activities on environmental scanning encompass: (i) the identification and analysis of emerging risks as well as more forward‐looking signals, drivers and trends that could affect EFSA's work programme; (ii) developing and improving emerging risk identification methodologies and approaches; and (iii) communicating issues and risks that have been identified. The outcome of these activities equips EFSA to anticipate forthcoming challenges in the continuously evolving landscape of risk assessment. EFSA networks of knowledge that contribute to the emerging risks identification activity include the Emerging Risks Exchange Network (EREN), the Stakeholder Discussion Group on Emerging Risks (StaDG‐ER), EFSA's scientific units, the Scientific Panels, the Scientific Committee and their working groups. The current technical report summarises the activities of all groups involved in the environmental scanning process, the issues identified in the course of 2023, and the collaborative activities. In total, 32 potential emerging issues were discussed in 2023 and five were concluded to be emerging risks. The potential issues were classified according to the hazard.
In 2023, EFSA has further implemented its environmental scanning and strategic options definition process with the development of the Emerging Risks Exchange Platform (ERAP), which is intended to centralise all emerging risks analysis activities. Acknowledging the breadth and variety of the scientific areas to be covered, EFSA has also put in place a collaborative network for preparedness that goes beyond just the European Union. Finally, special attention has been given to increasing the visibility of EFSA's environmental scanning work, making use of FoodSafeR's digital hub to disseminate EFSA's activities to a worldwide community of professionals dealing with preparedness, and with the creation of the biannual EFSA newsletter “Emerging Risks Update,” which provides valuable insights into EREN's and StaDG‐ER's meetings and discussions, recent news and publications, upcoming events and activities related to environmental scanning.
Los usos de imágenes generadas con IA en la política española: entre la creatividad y la manipulación
Authors: Rojas-Calderón Alfredo
Published: December 2024

En los más recientes comicios en España, entre 2022 y 2024, se han comenzado a emplear imágenes generadas por aplicaciones de inteligencia artificial (IA) en las campañas electorales. No es aún una tendencia consolidada, pero cabe esperar que las potencialidades de asequibilidad y usabilidad de estas herramientas expandan sus usos, más aún con la rapidez en la difusión que pueden aportar las redes sociales e Internet. También se han documentado y descrito, mediante una búsqueda exploratoria y no sistemática, casos de publicaciones de este tipo de materiales en medios de comunicación y en las plataformas digitales, sobre todo de sátira o humor político. El objetivo de este trabajo es registrar, clasificar y analizar estos primeros usos, de tal forma de identificar sus patrones de aplicabilidad. La discusión se centra en que las imágenes creadas con IA se pueden considerar productos de la creatividad propia de la comunicación política, por una parte, pero también, por otra, pueden servir para divulgar información errónea y manipular la opinión pública durante las campañas electorales.

DIVINE AND DISADVANTAGED: EXPLORING THE THEYYAM PERFORMERS OF NORTH MALABAR
Authors: Anthappai Teddy C.
Published: December 2024

Caste and caste inequalities continue to be a significant reality in contemporary society, even in Kerala, where high levels of development, literacy, and secularism coexist. Despite these advancements, caste remains a critical factor in the social and cultural lives of the people. The caste system within Hinduism is characterized by a hierarchy that perpetuates disparities in power and wealth, as well as imbalances in religious practices. This study conducts an ethnographic investigation into the renowned religious ritual of Kaliyattam in Northern Kerala, revealing the harsh realities of caste dynamics, ritual authority, and exploitation present in society. Various communities involved in the ritual are required to adhere to strict customs that often result in economic exploitation and social injustice. These customs reflect the ongoing inequalities that persist within the caste system, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of how these issues manifest in both ritual contexts and broader societal interactions.

Published: December 2024

The primary motivation behind the researchers’ writing of this work is the fundamental need for human safety and care for survival at all times. Man is the essence of existence, and his sense of safety and tranquillity, which ensures his liberties and his dignity at all times, are the foundations of his survival. Because international humanitarian law is intimately related to human rights, it is one of the most significant areas of international public law, and its provisions reflect the expansion of human rights. As long as they follow this law's guidelines and provisions, it has so far saved millions of lives. This paper aims to determine the extent to which International Humanitarian Law contributes to the safeguarding of the ecosystem. This will be achieved by examining existing studies and assessing conferences, conventions, and international agreements that address international humanitarian law.

Objetivo: Analisar quais os fatores de risco, sinais clínicos e quais as principais abordagens terapêuticas à ruptura
uterina. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, de artigos indexados e publicados na BVS,
onde a pergunta norteadora foi “Quais os fatores envolvidos nos casos de ruptura uterina e como fazer um manejo
correto dessa condição?”. Resultados e discussão: A gravidez e o parto são momentos de intensas mudanças
fisiológicas, anatômicas e emocionais, que podem apresentar complicações graves, como infecções, hipertensão e
hemorragias, aumentando o risco de mortalidade materna e fetal. A ruptura uterina (RU) é uma das complicações mais
graves em obstetrícia, dividida em completa e incompleta, dependendo da extensão da ruptura. É uma importante
causa de morte materna e fetal intrauterina, com fatores de risco como o uso de uterotônicos, trauma abdominal,
obstrução do trabalho de parto, multiparidade, placenta percreta, gravidez gemelar e distensão uterina excessiva. Alta
taxa de cesáreas anteriores é uma das principais causas de RU, destacando a necessidade de maior atenção a esse risco
e estudosindicam que a RU é frequentemente associada a sinais como dores abdominais intensas, sangramento vaginal
e sofrimento fetal, tendo o monitoramento rigoroso da frequência cardíaca fetal para diagnóstico precoce. Conclusão:
Há métodos para confirmar o diagnóstico e tratar a hemorragia pós-parto, que serão mostrados no decorrer deste
capítulo Além dos fatores clínicos, aspectos sociais, econômicos e culturais também influenciam a predisposição à
ruptura uterina, enfatizando a importância de políticas públicas voltadas para a educação em saúde e a ampliação do
acesso a serviços de qualidade. Essas iniciativas são essenciais para melhorar a prevenção e o manejo dessa condição,
reduzindo a morbimortalidade materna e fetal.

Trust and Plunder: William W. Cleghorn and the Potawatomi Nation
Authors: Nichols David A.
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT: William W. Cleghorn (1815–1878), a fur trader, Indian trader, and landowner, spent much of his life in the western Potawatomi nation in Kansas, before making his permanent home in LaPorte County, Indiana. His network of personal connections, illuminated by the collection of his papers in Indiana University Bloomington’s Lilly Library, included local white officials, tribal agents, enslaved families, and wealthy trading partners like George and William Ewing. It centered on his Potawatomi neighbors and associates, among them the members of his first wife Ann Sharp Rice’s Indigenous family. Cleghorn’s accounts and correspondence reveal the imbrication of the peltry business with land deals, the extraction of resources from Potawatomi families, and the ongoing dispossession of Native Americans after Removal.
Subnational State Unit's Status: Definition and Methods of Measurement
Authors: Yuzbekova K. Sh.
Published: December 2024

In the article, based on the analysis of existing works on the status of the state and its components, the author attempts to conceptualize and operationalize the concept of the subnational unit’s status. As in the majority of works, that in one way or another concern the subnational unit’s status, the term is used without any preliminary definition, the author firstly refers to the studies of the status of the state as the starting point to examine this topic, and then offers her own version of a complex definition of the subnational unit’s status, which includes three main groups of characteristics: formal norms, resources (economic, political, social) and collective perceptions.

Based on this definition, as well as on the studies devoted to the concepts of federalism, regional autonomy and regional political regimes, the author highlights more narrow elements of status, using Russian regions’ status as an example. Although not universally applicable, the list of variables she compiles clearly demonstrates the opportunities of measuring subnational unit’s status. When transitioning from the Russian realia to the experience of other states with a different administrative, territorial and economic structure, only a specific set of status elements changes, while its general structure remains intact.

The definition of the subnational unit’s status elaborated by the author, and the conclusions presented in the article as a whole can be useful in studying not only subnational unit’s status, but also regional political regimes, regional autonomy and other related topics.
Moral Intuitions: How the Revolution in Neuroscience Affects Ethics, Political Philosophy, and Political Science
Authors: Balashov D. V.
Published: December 2024

New methods in neuroscience, which emerged at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, allowed to make a breakthrough in comprehension of the human brain functioning principles, including the situations of ethical choice. The turn to the analysis of moral intuitions was so fruitful that it led to the flourishing of moral psychology, for which moral intuitions became the main research subject. Discoveries in neuroscience and moral psychology were bound to influence the areas of knowledge, where moral dilemmas and moral intuitions have traditionally been studied, primarily ethics and political philosophy. They have also affected political science.

One of the most prominent and influential in its impact on ethics and political philosophy is the concept of deep pragmatism by Joshua Greene, based on numerous empirical studies of the human brain’s response to ethical challenges. Another concept of equal and, potentially, even greater importance for these disciplines, and especially for political science, is moral foundations theory by Jonathan Haidt, which is also based on brain research and neural processes investigation.

The article examines in detail Greene’s research, which led him to articulate his own normative political-philosophical concept, as well as the concept of deep pragmatism itself. It shows that even though Greene attempts to distance himself from utilitarianism, his concept is, in fact, only a new iteration of the utilitarian theory of justice, which is inferior in terms of justification to other modern versions. In the final section of the article the author explores Haidt’s moral foundations theory and its implications for philosophy and political science.

Sustainable pore pressure prediction plays a pivotal role in optimizing geomechanical modeling, significantly enhancing drilling operations' efficiency and safety. The accurate estimation of pore pressure is crucial in identifying safe drilling windows, mitigating formation collapse, and avoiding blowouts. Traditional prediction methods often rely on static geological data, which may fail to capture dynamic reservoir behaviors, leading to operational risks. In contrast, integrating advanced computational techniques, real-time data analytics, and sustainable practices revolutionizes pore pressure prediction, providing adaptive and precise models that align with environmental and operational goals. This paper explores innovative approaches to pore pressure prediction, emphasizing the incorporation of machine learning algorithms, seismic data interpretation, and well-log analysis. These techniques allow for real-time updates, accommodating dynamic changes in subsurface conditions. Additionally, sustainable practices in prediction methodologies, such as minimizing reliance on invasive drilling methods and reducing energy consumption in modeling processes, are discussed. The impact of accurate pore pressure estimation on geomechanical modeling is profound, enhancing the prediction of stress fields and wellbore stability, critical for complex and high-pressure formations. The study highlights case examples where sustainable pore pressure prediction has facilitated better drilling outcomes, reducing non-productive time (NPT) and enhancing reservoir management. These examples underscore the role of predictive analytics in designing well trajectories, selecting optimal mud weights, and ensuring compliance with environmental standards. Moreover, the integration of digital twin technologies is presented as a frontier for coupling geomechanical and real-time operational data, providing a comprehensive decision-making framework. By addressing challenges such as data integration, uncertainty quantification, and computational limitations, this paper proposes pathways to refine sustainable prediction models. The findings advocate for a balanced approach that combines technological innovation with environmental stewardship, enabling more resilient and sustainable drilling operations.

The Role of Ta-Li-Yuan’s Judicial Practice in the Early Republic of China from the Perspective of Women’s Rights Protection
Authors: Liu Keming
Published: December 2024

Benefiting from the influence of Western legal principles and the emerging women’s rights movement, marriage relationships in early Republican China gradually shifted from male superiority to gender equality. To strengthen the implementation of principles of equality and justice in legislation, the highest judicial authority at the time, the Ta-Li-Yuan, established universally guiding precedents and interpretations to promote the protection of women’s rights. Based on this, this paper examines the adjustments and enhancements to the legal system through specific divorce cases in the early Republic period, focusing on the judicial practice of the Ta-Li-Yuan, and explores its role in advancing the protection of women’s rights.
Regulating Same-Sex Marriage in Vietnam
Negotiations between Legalisation and Social Recognition
Authors: Nguyen Van Phuc
Published: December 2024

Vietnam’s ban on same-sex marriage, which was instituted in 2000, was finally removed in 2014. Since then, wedding ceremonies for same-sex couples are allowed, even though their conjugal union is deemed legally void. The article holds that this peculiar position may be attributed to the fact that recognition of marriage in Vietnam has both legal and social dimensions. In granting same-sex couples an informal venue for their relationship to be accepted, the 2014 Marriage and Family Law may offer a temporary solution to the contentious question of same-sex marriage. It follows that the strategy in the name of social recognition helps the state to gain more time for further deliberations.
