Authors: Flores Carlos G. , Losa Elizabeth , Espinoza Ariana G. , Morales-Téllez Arturo , Tentori Mónica
Published: January 2025

The scarcity of natural resources such as water is a growing problem and society is trying to raise awareness of the issue. This problem mainly affects communities that have limited or no access to water. In Mexico, specifically in the Guadalupe Valley, water scarcity has greatly affected the community due to the overexploitation of aquifers, the excessive growth of agriculture and viticulture, and the lack of adequate infrastructure for water management.  For this reason, governments around the world are educating children at an early age about water scarcity using new technological and interactive methods.  In this article, we present ‘Arroyuelo’, a serious game on a mobile device embedded in a 3D printed model.  We followed a user-centered design methodology and considered that it should be accessible, and engaging and encourage teamwork in rural communities. This article contributes to a serious game called Arroyuelo, to educate children about water scarcity through school group activities, and provides design implications for creating serious games that promote water awareness in rural communities.

Published: January 2025

This article presents the design of an extensible training platform for Mexican Sign Language (LSM) aimed at hearing individuals who provide services to deaf people using a scenario-based teaching strategy. The PlexLSM platform was co-designed with stakeholders involved in service scenarios for deaf users. To demonstrate the feasibility of PlexLSM, prototypes, and evaluations were conducted for service scenarios in medical offices and taxi transportation. However, the platform's design allows for the addition of new service scenarios.
PlexLSM supports learning signs for general words and phrases, as well as scenario-specific terms. Gamification strategies are incorporated to motivate users, guiding them from a basic level to a service scenario level where they can engage in conversations with deaf individuals. Focus groups were conducted with potential service providers from various fields for the formative evaluation of low-fidelity prototypes. Additionally, the user experience of the developed mobile application was evaluated using the think-aloud method. The results indicate that PlexLSM can effectively support LSM learning for service providers across different scenarios.

Published: January 2025

The effort of Malaysia’s aviation industry to achieve carbon-neutral growth by 2050 proved to be a challenge since conventional jet fuels contribute to 13% of the transportation sector’s global carbon emissions. The main contributors to the difficulties are economic barriers and inadequate legal frameworks slowing the adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). Adopting doctrinal research methodology, this study aims to investigate the policies governing aviation fuel standards and emissions in Malaysia and offer legal reforms to incentivise the adoption of SAF to reduce the carbon impact of aviation in Malaysia. It also explores the contribution of Malaysia’s aviation sector to the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) efforts by aligning Malaysia’s aviation sector’s environmental sustainability efforts with international climate change mitigation efforts. This research highlighted the importance of policy implementation to govern aviation fuel standards and emissions for further legal reforms to incentivise the adoption of SAF. The paper suggests urgent action by the relevant parties to promote the widespread deployment of global jet fuel usage and SAF adherence.

Published: January 2025

Education has a central role in shaping the future of a society. Teachers as the main agents in the education system have a great responsibility in guiding and developing the potential of students. In this context, a deep understanding of educational psychology is an urgent need for educators. Educational psychology provides a relevant framework for understanding student's cognitive, emotional and social development, which in turn helps teachers in designing appropriate learning experiences. Along with the development of science and research in the field of educational psychology, the role of the teacher is no longer limited to the delivery of subject matter, but also involves a deep understanding of the individual needs of students. This suggests that teacher's success depends not only on their academic knowledge, but also on a broad psychological understanding.

Knowledge, Perception and Control
Authors: Hazra Krishnokoli
Published: January 2025

The British colonial administration in India viewed the Northeast through a multitude of lenses. They coveted its abundant natural resources, hoped to use it to access lucrative commercial pastures further east, and felt impelled to bring the frontier region under its administrative influence. However, colonial efforts to control the area necessitated dominance over the apparently “stateless” and “primitive hill-tribes” who lived there. The presence of the Christian missionaries complicated the endeavor. This lengthy and arduous project produced substantial documentation in which the hill people were represented in diverse, often contradictory ways, leading to contestations over identity which persist to this day. How did the colonial administration view the “tribes”? Were these views uniformly held? How far did the depictions by the Christian missionaries align with the official views? This article attempts to locate some of the answers by interrogating different dimensions of the colonial archive—official publications, private memoirs of the officers, and missionary accounts. It will endeavor to unpack the multiple strands of colonial representations of the Northeastern indigenous communities in the hope that this may historicize and provide a richer understanding of the conflicts which continue to scar the region.
Songs of Confrontation and Survival
Authors: Sarkar Anamitra
Published: January 2025

This article analyses the Sapha Hors, a sect that emerged in the Santal Parganas in the wake of the Santal defeat in the hul of 1855. Based on oral history and archival sources, it provides an insight into how the sect committed itself, at its inception, to an agenda of self-purification, developing in the process a unique identity through an engagement with a diverse cultural environment in the Santal Parganas—a melting pot of evangelical missionary ideology and local Hindu traditions, with an interesting range of cultural symbols, moral precepts, and modes of worship from which the Sapha Hors could borrow, exercising their own discretionary agency. The songs of the Sapha Hors, wrapped in an enigmatic language of pacifism, best articulate the self-representation of the sect during its struggle to adjust to colonial and post-colonial challenges over the course of a long historical journey, which began in the 1870s. The article attempts to revive indigenous voices and their self-reflexive insights into life and struggle, which are fast disappearing from streamlined “mainstream” versions of indigeneity.
Indigeneities and Heterophoties
Authors: Matta Mara
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the nexus between indigeneity and cinema in Bangladesh, with a particular focus on the first feature film written and directed by the Bangladeshi Rakhine director Aung Rakhine: Mor thengari (My Bicycle, Bangladesh 2014). Taking Rakhine as an example, it examines how the cinematic interventions carried out by filmmakers who do not self-identify as indigenous (ādibāsī) might notwithstanding mobilize indigenous solidarities and transethnic forms of belonging to oppose or hybridize the fixed and discriminatory national categories of “sub-national” (upojāti), “ethnic minority” (kṣudra nr̥-gōṣṭhī), or “immigrant” (abhibāsī) employed by the government and the mainstream media to define non-Bengali and/or non-Muslim people in Bangladesh.By creating complex and alternative “filmscapes” that challenge the cultural dynamics of representation on national and international screens, filmmakers belonging to minoritized groups (Chakma, Rakhine, Marma, etc.) have been engaging in a battle over images that create new processes of becoming and assert more complex ways of belonging in a transethnic and multilingual cinematic movement that is paving the way towards the emergence of what I tentatively call “heterophoties,” visual histories of the other told from an emic perspective where indigeneity is strategically employed to debunk stereotypical representations and convey pluralistic and multicultural narratives of being “indigenous.”

Examining and strengthening the role of science in wilderness decision-making
Authors: Redmore Lauren , Rushing Jaclyn , Armatas Chris , Wright Vita , Helmy Olga
Published: January 2025

Public land management decisions rely on science but there is a disconnect between research and practical application; this is referred to as the research–management gap. Within the context of the United States (US) National Wilderness Preservation System, this gap has implications across 111 million acres of land managed by four federal agencies. To better understand how to bridge research with management within the US wilderness context, we conducted facilitated conversations with 68 wilderness managers using interactive virtual whiteboards to guide conversations around decision contexts, the role of science in wilderness management decision-making, and opportunities to improve the use of science in wilderness management. We found that wilderness managers operate within four main decision contexts (operational, relational, informational, and policy), and that they rely on a variety of sources of information, with science as one of many sources, to guide management action and decisions, both directly and indirectly. Bridging the research–management gap requires a two-tiered approach: (1) bottom-up, working with local managers to develop, apply, and interpret relevant science in a co-produced manner; and (2) top-down, working with agency and wilderness leaders to champion the integration of research into policy and management directives. Better working relationships between managers and scientists could improve the adoption of science in wilderness management as well as improve how scientists understand the range of competing policies, programs, and priorities that guide wilderness managers.

A review of studies on the protection of metals and their alloys from corrosion has been conducted. Currently, the problem of protecting metals and metal structures from corrosion is relevant in the world. The problem of protecting metal products from corrosion has not lost its importance since the beginning of the use of metal. The urgency of this problem lies in the fact that the intensive development of metal-intensive industries is associated with the rapid growth of economic and environmental damage caused by the destruction of metal structures, equipment and products. Practically all existing metal is subject to corrosion, but the long-term reliable functioning of products, equipment, metal structures made of metal and its alloys depends on the speed of the corrosion process. The average service life of products made of non-ferrous and ferrous metal alloys is about fifteen years, which is common in environmental conditions. Not only iron alloys, but also hard-to-melt metals and their alloys have a harmful effect on the environment. The main harm from metal corrosion is associated not only with the loss of a large amount of metal, but also with the failure of metal structures, since due to corrosion they lose the necessary strength, ductility, density, thermal and electrical conductivity, insulation and other necessary properties. Protection of metal structures from corrosion gives a positive effect by reducing the cost of repair and complete replacement of the entire structure or part. Corrosion protection is one of the most important problems of modern industry. This article provides information about the origin of the term corrosion, the course of this process, its types and the alleged damage.

In modern materials science, much attention is paid to the production of new types of ceramics that have increased resistance to external influences, as well as high strength parameters. At the same time, among the ceramics one can single out aluminum-magnesium spinel, which has a unique combination of properties that open up opportunities for its use as structural materials in the nuclear industry and aircraft construction, as well as metallurgy in the manufacture of crucibles for smelting metals. It should also be noted that recently special attention has been paid to research aimed at improving the properties of these ceramics by doping or alloying them, which makes it possible to change their properties and increase resistance to external influences. The purpose of this study is to study the effectiveness of scandium doping of aluminum-magnesium spinel (MgAl2O4) obtained using the method of mechanochemical solid-phase synthesis, on changing the dynamics of phase transformation processes. The choice of ceramics based on MgAl2O4 spinel as objects of study is due to the great prospects for its use in structural materials science, due to the unique physicochemical and strength properties, and the addition of scandium to the composition of this ceramic makes it possible to increase resistance to external influences and increase crack resistance. Using the method of X-ray phase analysis, it was found that an increase in the annealing temperature of alumina-magnesium ceramics doped with scandium leads to an enrichment of the composition with the γ-phase of aluminum oxide, with the formation of a substitutional solid solution of the MgAl2O4/Al2O3 type, and also to a decrease in the concentration of the ScAlMgO4 phase. At an annealing temperature of 1500°C, inclusions are formed in the composition of ceramics in the form of an MgAl intermetallic phase with a high degree of structural ordering of the crystal lattice (the deformation distortion factor is – 0.35 (compression strain)).

The article is devoted to reviewing the issues related to the application of geophysical methods for solving the problems of monitoring the development of solid mineral deposits. The problems considered in the work are highly relevant in connection with the recent increase in the frequency of natural and man-made disasters caused by the disturbance of the rock mass during the construction of mine workings and the exploitation of ore deposits developed by underground methods. This is especially pertinent for deposits at a late stage of development. Based on an analysis of foreign and domestic scientific literature, the authors provide a detailed examination of the possibilities of using various modifications of geophysical methods in the mining industry at the stages of deposit development and operation. Particular attention is paid to the efficiency of seismic exploration methods in monitoring the development of ore deposits mined by underground methods at great depths. It is shown that the use of geophysical methods is one of the most effective ways to account for the behavior of natural and technical systems in underground workings, depending on the current state of the geological environment and artificial impacts on rock massifs. A well-founded conclusion is made that systematic monitoring and prevention of the technogenic state of underground workings, as well as the study of the current state of the rock mass and ore deposits in hard-to-reach areas using modern geophysical technologies, form the basis for the effective and safe development of long-exploited solid mineral deposits. The presented review is used for the scientific and practical substantiation of research work carried out by a team of specialists from KazNITU named after K.I. Satpayev, focused on developing a technology for assessing the geomechanical state of mined-out spaces using seismic methods during underground mining of minerals in the complex mining and geological conditions of copper sandstone deposits in Kazakhstan.
The use of geothermal energy using the example of the Zharkent geothermal water deposit

Published: January 2025

Today, Kazakhstan, like many other countries, is actively seeking ways to adapt to global climate change, seeking to ensure sustainable economic development, social responsibility and environmental protection in the context of international cooperation. In early 2023, the «Strategy for Achieving Carbon Neutrality of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2060» was adopted, which was the result of significant work on the implementation of the «Concept of Transition of the Republic of Kazakhstan to a Green Economy», as well as the development and implementation of state programs of industrial-innovative development and implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The main goal of the Strategy is to achieve sustainable development of Kazakhstan's economy to climate change and carbon neutrality by 2060. There will be a gradual planned reduction in the share of coal-fired generation with an increase in the share of RES and alternative energy, as well as the use of natural gas as an intermediate fuel. In the medium and long term, there is uncertainty about the availability of sufficient water resources, so a long-term vision for the development of hydropower in Kazakhstan will be formed. In this regard, there is a need to develop the production of alternative energy in our country. Among non-conventional energy sources, geothermal energy - heat generated naturally in the Earth's interior - occupies the second place, second only to solar radiation. In recent years, unique factual material on thermal waters of Cretaceous deposits has been obtained in the territory of Zharkent depression. Zharkent depression possesses a huge potential of natural thermo-mineral resources, which have not found rational economic application so far. Development of thermal waters is actual in conditions of development of production of alternative kinds of energy and at transition of the republic on rails of «green economy».

СУЧАСНА ЕНЕРГЕТИЧНА ПОЛІТИКА УКРАЇНИ: ПРОЄКЦІЯ НА РЕГІОНАЛЬНИЙ РІВЕНЬ
Authors: Бобронніков Дмитро Олександрович , Чикаренко Ірина Аркадіївна
Published: January 2025

Досліджено проблеми, виклики, можливості та загрози формування й реалізації сучасної енергетичної політики України. Показано, що одним із пріоритетних її напрямків у контексті сталого розвитку держави є забезпечення енергоефективності та енергозбереження, зокрема на регіональному рівні. Актуальність цього питання значно підвищилася в останні три роки, що обумовлено наслідками бойових дій рф на території нашої країни, пов’язаними з руйнуванням критичної інфраструктури, до якої віднесено інфраструктуру енергозабезпечення (у тому числі постачання теплової енергії). Показано, що в Україні протягом багатьох років неодноразово проголошувався курс на забезпечення енергоефективності та енергозбереження, розроблялися чергові енергетичні стратегії, декларувалися відповідні реформи тощо, втім, вітчизняний енергетичний сектор і досі залишається у дуже скрутному становищі – реальних позитивних результатів так і не отримано, а війна ще й суттєво загострила ситуацію. Проаналізовано основні положення ключових програмних документів у цій сфері, а саме останні енергетичні стратегії, які розроблялися на різні періоди (до 2030, 2035, 2050 рр.). Зроблено висновок, що підхід, коли попередня стратегія ще не повною мірою реалізована, а наступна вже готується до затвердження, є нераціональним. Зазначене свідчить скоріше про невдале стратегічне планування, ніж про успішність реалізації довгострокової енергетичної політики. Для забезпечення ефективності й результативності останньої запропоновано використовувати інструменти середньострокового (розрахованого на період 5-7 років) стратегічного планування, а не довгострокового (25-30 років). Це обумовлює необхідність розроблення Державної енергетичної політики України як окремого нормативного документа і надасть можливість досягти визначених енергетичною політикою цілей і пріоритетів шляхом послідовного виконання трьох-чотирьох середньострокових стратегій, хід реалізації яких значно проще контролювати та, за потреби, коригувати, тим самим забезпечуючи досягнення запланованих результатів і успішність стратегічного управління в галузі в цілому.

Запропоновано концепцію багаторівневої інтегрованої системи управління рекламною діяльністю, яка базується на управлінських ризиках та враховує публічно-приватну дихотомію суспільних відносин у сфері запобігання корупції. Визначено мету антикорупційної публічної рекламної діяльності як забезпечення ефективної комунікації між органами публічного управління та громадськістю шляхом створення, розповсюдження та управління інформаційними повідомленнями про антикорупційні державні програми, громадські ініціативи та соціальні проекти, спрямованими на підвищення обізнаності, залучення та активізацію участі громадян у суспільно-політичному житті, формування позитивного іміджу органів влади та зміцнення довіри до інститутів публічного управління. Практичне значення наведених у статті наукових підходів полягає у можливості їх використання для вдосконалення системи публічного управління рекламною діяльністю та посилення антикорупційних механізмів. Запропоновано впровадити результати дослідження в діяльності органів місцевого самоврядування та громадських організацій у частині розробки рекомендацій щодо підвищення ефективності публічного управління рекламною діяльністю, забезпечення етичності реклами, захисту прав громадян як споживачів рекламного продукту та сприяння суспільному добробуту.

Published: January 2025

This study examined the impact of how the parents perceive their children’s trauma and their attitudes towards children during the trauma psychological therapy affect the process of trauma psychological therapy.
For this, six psychological therapy experts from nationwide branches of Smile Center were selected as research participants and in-depth interviews were conducted. The collected data were analyzed using Stake's (1995) qualitative case study method, resulting in 78 meaning units, 25 subcategories that include meaning units, and 7 top-level themes. The seven themes identified were: 'Characteristics of trauma experiences of and psychological therapy for children and adolescents, intervention strategies in psychological therapy for traumatized children and adolescents, parents’ perceptions and attitudes that are helpful in children's psychological therapy, parents’ perceptions and attitudes that hinder children's psychological therapy, the impact of parents’ trauma experiences and recovery on children's psychological therapy, factors of parents influencing children's psychological therapy process, and support and intervention strategies needed for parents'.
This research discovered that parents' perception and attitude towards trauma significantly impact psychological therapy for child and adolescent crime victims. If parents appropriately understand trauma experiences and accept their children’s situations with empathy, the effectiveness of therapy is maximized.
Conversely, inappropriate perceptions, blame, hypersensitivity, or indifference negatively affect the therapy process. Furthermore, this study confirmed that parents' own trauma recovery experience positively contributes to their children's stable recovery.
For effective intervention in psychological therapy for child and adolescent crime victims, the study indicates the necessity of appropriate psychological education and counseling for parents, along with legal, institutional support, and community resource connections. Finally, the study presents its significance, limitations, and recommendations.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting happiness among unmarried young adults in their 20s, categorized into personal and social dimensions. The study utilized data from the National Assembly Future Research Center's 2022 Happiness Survey of Koreans, and 1,957 unmarried people in their 20s who participated in the survey and answered the questions in good faith were analyzed. The results showed that among the individual-level factors affecting the happiness of unmarried young adults in their 20s, the proportion of time spent alone on weekends, subjective health status, anxiety/anxiety experience, and depression/hopelessness experience had an impact on happiness. In other words, the lower the proportion of time spent alone on weekends, the lower the anxiety/anxiety and depression/hopelessness experience, the happier the young adults were. Next, among the social dimensions of happiness, the higher the perception of social equality, satisfaction with family life, satisfaction with interpersonal relationships, satisfaction with neighborhood environment, and trust in neighbors, the happier the unmarried young adults in their 20s. Based on these findings, intervention measures to promote the happiness of unmarried young adults in their 20s are suggested, as well as a discussion on further research.
Ukraine and Russia: How did a widely read Russian newspaper argue Russia’s case in 2014?
Authors: Josephi Beate , Bayimbetov Berdak
Published: January 2025

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 had a preamble. In 2014, when then president Yanukovych fled Ukraine in the course of the Maidan protests, the loss of its ally in Kyiv prompted Russia to instigate pro-Russian and military activities in Crimea. This culminated in Russia, after a disputed referendum, incorporating Crimea as a Russian republic on 18 March 2014.  
This article investigates how the widely read Russian weekly newspaper Argumenty i Facty (Arguments and Facts) portrayed the situation in the months prior and subsequent to the annexation of Crimea. In the period December 2013 to March 2014, Argumenty i Facty published 122 articles and opinion pieces on the Ukrainian and Crimean events. This study assesses Argumenty i Facty’s reasons to justify the annexation of Crimea, such as the plight of the sootechestvennik (literally “those who are with the fatherland”), referring to ethnic Russians residing outside Russia, Ukraine’s inferior quality of life compared to Russia’s “powerful economy” and nostalgic recalls of common history during Soviet times and in earlier centuries. The analysis of these articles points to differences in argumentation but also shows Russia’s mindset and determination to use any means necessary to redraw borders to its ends.
