Estratégias discursivas na construção da representação social da alteridade: um discurso intolerante nas primeiras décadas do século XX
Authors: Bueno Alexandre Marcelo
Published: February 2025

A presença de imigrantes no Brasil suscitou, desde o seu início, uma diversidade de discursos a respeito dos benefícios e dos malefícios dessa presença para a sociedade brasileira. Parte desses discursos apresenta, assim, estratégias para transmitir uma postura preconceituosa e intolerante em relação a diferentes formas de alteridade, não se limitando, em muitos casos, à construção da imagem negativa de imigrantes. O intuito deste trabalho é o de examinar o uso de algumas estratégias discursivas (como a metáfora, a comparação e o argumento de autoridade) na construção da representação social dos imigrantes japoneses em um discurso produzido nas primeiras décadas do século XX no Brasil. Da mesma forma, este trabalho mostrará como esses recursos discursivos são utilizados para a formação de uma representação negativa de índios, de negros e de judeus.

A Case Study on the Convergence Education of Social Studies Using Artificial Intelligence Contents based on Nobel Engineering
Authors:   Center For Educational Research, Oh Sera
Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study explores the necessity of AI-integrated education in social studies for middle school students and presents a practical case of implementing such education through the use of Nobel Engineering.
Methods: Nobel Engineering classes were planned under the theme of media literacy by selecting the content elements of the 'popular media' in the 'culture' area, which is the content of middle school social studies. After reading the book “To You Who Fell Into YouTube: Media Class for Generation Z,” which suggested confusion and solutions to the emergence of new media, they conducted a teaching and learning activity using entry block coding to produce an “SNS filter page” that determines incorrect information on SNS.
Results: Through the activities, students reflected on the development of digital technology and the change in media use due to the emergence of AI in terms of AI and human interaction. And the resulting problem was solved by designing an AI program using coding. Students were able to develop communication skills, cooperation skills, and the ability to contribute to the community through the experience of solving problems in cooperation.
Conclusion: This study is meaningful as an example of an attempt to combine social studies and AI education at a time when the need for education using AI is raised in general subjects as discussions on future education deepen.
The Roles and Challenges of Teacher Education Institutions for Implementing a Semester-Long School-Based Practicum : A Multiple-Case Study of Student Teaching Practices in the U.S.
Authors:   Center For Educational Research, Choi Yoonjung , Yun Hyun Sin
Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study conducted a multiple-case study on the student teaching policies and practices at 4 teacher education universities in the United States.
Methods: Adopting a qualitative research method, this study examined documented policies and practices of student teaching at 4 U.S. teacher education institutions through literature review, and interviews with 4 professors in the universities who had experience as a student teaching supervisor.
Results: 4 major findings regarding the roles and responsibilities of teacher education institutions for student teaching are as follows: (1) Phased and distributed pre-practicum experiences integrated throughout the entire teacher education curriculum, (2) Gradual immersion into school settings and systematization of step-by-step completion requirements, (3) The roles and responsibilities of supervisors within triad-based collaborative relationships, and (4) The institutionalization of multicultural education as a goal, content, outcome, and an issue of student teaching practicum.
Conclusion: As the Semester-long School-based Practicum System(학교현장실습학기제) is set to be fully implemented in 2028, the findings of this study suggest that change should go beyond simply extending the practicum period. It calls for restructuring the whole teacher education curriculum, designing integrated practicum programs, enhancing the institutional and financial support for supervisors as field experts, and addressing the challenges of teacher education in light of demographic changes and the shift toward a multicultural society.

Authors:   Center For Educational Research, Jung Yung Suk
Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study examines differences in perceptions of class effectiveness, teaching method preferences, and feedback recognition based on MBTI personality types, aiming to explore the feasibility of personalized education design.
Methods: An online survey assessed MBTI personality types and class-related perceptions, and group differences were analyzed using independent samples t-tests.
Results: Thinking-type learners viewed improvements in lesson planning ability more positively than Feeling-type learners, while Intuitive learners had a more favorable perception of improvements in lesson design ability compared to Sensing learners. Feeling-type learners preferred an increased number of English microteaching sessions, whereas Thinking-type learners emphasized the importance of structure and logical evaluation. Extroverted learners rated feedback from the instructor and peers more positively than Introverted learners did, and Thinking-type learners found the instructor’s feedback on English microteaching sessions and lesson plans more helpful than Feeling-type learners did.
Conclusion: The study suggests MBTI personality types can inform personalized learning designs and calls for further research including factors like academic motivation and goal orientation.

Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a music box production convergence education program using 4Dframe on the convergence thinking and creative problem-solving abilities of prospective teachers and to analyze the educational effects of this program.
Methods: The program was conducted on thirty pre-service teachers attending a national university in Chungcheongbuk-province, and provided education on Music Box production using 4Dframe for 5 weeks. Creativity, convergence thinking, and cooperative learning attitudes were analyzed through pre- and post-tests and group collaboration activities.
Results: The prospective teachers showed improved creativity, cooperative learning ability, and convergence thinking ability through the Music Box production activity. In particular, activities that combined musical understanding and scientific and engineering principles were effective in increasing learners’ interest and immersion.
Conclusion: During the Music Box production process using 4Dframe, pre-service teachers had a learning experience that integrated musical sense and mechanical knowledge. Music Box is a tool that requires consideration of both musical rhythm and mechanical principles and pre-service teachers were able to cultivate artistic sensibility and engineering thinking at the same time. These convergence educational experiences will play a vital role in helping pre-service teachers develop their ability to solve practical problems beyond simply learning theory.

Authors:   Center For Educational Research, Cha Yeonggyeong , Lee Woogul , Song Juyeon
Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study aims to classify elementary school students considering their problem behaviors in an academic context. It also aims to examine different relationships of life satisfaction and academic achievement as outcomes and of conscientiousness, test anxiety, social support, and achievement pressure as predictors depending on problem behavior profiles.
Methods: This study utilized data from the Social and Emotional Skills Survey, collected by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and analyzed data from 3,762 ten-year-old students in Daegu. Ten-year-old elementary students were classified considering their problem behaviors using latent profile analysis, and relevant predictive and outcome variables were examined.
Results: The study classified five problem behavior profiles: Attention Problem, Potential Attention Problem, Norm-Avoidance, Average, and Adaptive profiles. Key profiles were classified depending on the degrees of attention and sleep problems or the degrees of low class participation and rule non-compliance. Adaptive and Average groups showed relatively higher levels of academic achievement and life satisfaction, while Potential Attention Problem, Attention Problem, and Norm-Avoidance groups showed relatively lower levels. In addition, conscientiousness predicted norm-avoidance problems, while conscientiousness, test anxiety, social support, and achievement pressure predicted attention problems.
Conclusion: This study classified elementary school students considering their problem behaviors in an academic context and confirmed that life satisfaction and academic achievement differ depending on the problem behavior profiles. While the Attention Problem and Norm-Avoidance groups did not show differences in life satisfaction and academic achievement, there was a difference in the variables predicting these two groups. These findings suggest that, even when students show similar levels of academic outcomes, differentiated educational approaches and interventions tailored to each problem behavior group are necessary.

Published: February 2025

Libraries play a strategic role in improving the quality of education by providing informative and relevant collections. Collection development policies are essential, particularly for academic libraries that support theses and research conducted by the academic community. This study employs a literature review method, referencing various sources such as scientific books, journal articles, research reports, and regulations in both printed and electronic formats. Additionally, the study compares two journal articles discussing collection development policies in academic libraries in Africa, namely the Imo State Academic Library and the Tanzanian Academic Library. The findings indicate that both libraries have implemented collection development policies, including selection, acquisition, user studies, preservation, weeding, evaluation, and collaboration. However, the involvement of users in the selection process of library materials remains limited. Therefore, this study recommends increased user involvement in the selection process, the establishment of a Collection Development Department, periodic weeding, and enhanced collaboration among libraries.
Overall Labor Effectiveness (OLE) Method for Analyzing Employee Performance in the Musical Instrument Industry
Authors: Sugarindra Muchammad
Published: February 2025

The production processes in the musical instrument industry are highly diverse, ranging from manual operations to full automation. The musical instrument industry examined in this study is predominantly characterized by manual production processes. In manual production, the role of operators is crucial in determining productivity levels. The Buffing Section is a workgroup within the painting department responsible for polishing components of musical instruments. Observations conducted from September to November revealed that the productivity of this group had not met the company’s target of 82%. Productivity was recorded at 70% in September, 77% in October, and 72% in November. To evaluate this condition, operator performance effectiveness was measured using the Overall Labor Effectiveness (OLE) method. OLE is used to assess labor productivity efficiency in manufacturing by examining the cumulative impact of three elements—availability, performance, and quality—on output. To identify the priority factors affecting productivity, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was employed. Additionally, Root Cause Analysis (RCA) was conducted to analyze the causes of problems and propose improvements. The results of the study showed an OLE value of 76%, indicating that the operational performance effectiveness was below the global standard. AHP analysis revealed that the primary factor influencing the low OLE value, which should be prioritized for problem analysis and improvement, was the quality factor, with an eigenvector value of 0.70. To further identify quality-related issues, RCA analysis highlighted the most dominant defects based on a Pareto diagram, namely rough surfaces (69.74%) and dull finishes (15.61%). The primary causes of these defects were, Uneven operator skills, Improper machine settings, Inadequate sanding processes, Incorrect pressure during the buffing process, Excessive or insufficient use of wax, Poor workplace cleanliness

Structural characterization of the Zalm district, West Saudi Arabia, using aeromagnetic data: An approach for gold mineral exploration
Authors: Alzahrani Hassan , Ibrahim Elkhedr
Published: February 2025

The Zalm district in western Saudi Arabia has drawn significant attention from those interested in exploring for gold mineralization. In the present study, the structural framework and major structural trends that most likely control the distribution of the gold mineral deposits in the Zalm district are interpreted using aeromagnetic data. For this purpose, the aeromagnetic data were subjected to enhancement filters to make the structural interpretation of the data easier. In this respect, the data were reduced to the north magnetic pole and processed through two enhancement filters: the analytical signal (AS) and the first vertical derivative (1VD). Lineament analysis of aeromagnetic maps suggests that three major fault sets dissected the Zalm district trending in the northwest (NW), northeast (NE), and north-south (NS) directions. These faults likely affected the mineralization occurrences in the Zalm district and could serve as important structural conduits for hydrothermal fluid channeling. Based on the current results, four localities were identified as promising for additional mineral resource investigation. These localities are delimited and dissected by the NW, NE, and NS faulting and are intruded by a series of felsic and mafic–ultramafic intrusions. It is likely that, in similar to Bi'r Tawilah where the location is structurally controlled by NW and NS faulting, the interpreted felsic and mafic served as sources of mineralizing fluids which remobilized the ore in the district by channeling through the faults. Three of the suggested localities, one lying in close proximity to Zalm city and two along the Rada and Nabitah fault zones, are characterized by high magnetic anomalies, indicating the presence of ultramafic and volcanic rocks that most likely host mineralization. The fourth locality situated in the central part of the district is marked by an elongated N–S low magnetic anomaly, interpreted as felsic diorite and granite rocks delimited by N–S faulting. To accurately detect mineral resources in the selected zones, additional comprehensive and in-depth geological and geophysical research are recommended.
Surface integrity studies in microhole drilling of Titanium Beta-C alloy using microEDM
Authors: Narayan Yeole Shivraj , Prakash Kode Jaya , Reddy Maddika Harinatha , Sridhar Babu B.
Published: February 2025

Micro electro-discharge machining, commonly known as MicroEDM, is used in the manufacturing industry for micromachining due to its benefits over conventional manufacturing. Titanium and its alloys find their application in various sectors. Titanium Beta-C alloy is one such alloy, especially employed in the oilfield and underwater sectors. Various applications in these fields need to have microholes embedded in them. Moreover, these parts need to possess high strength and be corrosion-resistant. Hence, the surface integrity of this alloy is critical. The intent behind this investigation is to evaluate the surface integrity characteristics of Titanium Beta-C alloy by performing microhole drilling using microEDM process parameters. In this study, surface integrity characteristics like surface topography and morphology are investigated by drilling microholes using brass electrodes of 300 µm in L9 orthogonal array experiments. Pulse on time, pulse off time, voltage, and current as pulse parameters are employed. Responses measured are surface roughness (R
a), SEM microstructure, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. This investigation shows the formation of irregular shapes of the craters on the surface of microholes drilled in Titanium Beta-C alloy. Additionally, these surfaces exhibit shallow crater depths and do not show the presence of cracks.
The (Un)intended Consequences of Legal Transplants: A Comparative Study of Standing in Collective Litigation in Five Jurisdictions
Authors: Kalajdzic Jasminka , Halfmeier Axel , Murphy Bernard , Tzankova Ianika , Gómez Manuel A.
Published: February 2025

Deborah R. Hensler has long championed the comparative study of civil procedure in a way that considers the interplay between legal rules, redress mechanisms, legal institutions and the societies where they operate. More importantly, this approach has also revealed the intended and unintended consequences of legal transplantation, and illuminated the difference between the law in the books and the law in action. As Professor Hensler recently and succinctly wrote, “procedures that seem on the surface to be the same or very similar may in practice operate differently as they intersect with other aspects of the litigation regime – rules, cultural expectations, political contexts – in which they are inserted.” In a multi-year book project she led almost a decade ago, Hensler and her colleagues identified the cultural, economic and political forces that impact how a single procedural device – representative litigation – operates in any given jurisdiction. The studies that comprised the project were grounded in empirical data obtained through several research strategies, specially the case study method. National jurisdictions or specific cases within those jurisdictions were used as units of analysis, and as a basis for a broader cross-country comparison that helped identify points of convergence and also key differences.
Italia: Open to meraviglia at the intersection of art, gender and tourism discourses
Authors: Francesconi Sabrina
Published: February 2025

This article explores the status and role of Venus within the Italia: Open to meraviglia campaign, with a focus on a dataset of visual texts extracted from the venereitalia23 Instagram profile over the initial year of its publication. The adopted integrated framework encompasses the grammar of visual design by Kress and van Leeuwen, the interdiscursivity model developed by Bhatia and a scale for measuring sexism in tourism representations by Pritchard. The questions that guide the research are the following: How is venereitalia23 visually represented across the Instagram profile? How do art and gender discourses intersect with one another within the campaign? Italia: Open to meraviglia employs an originally aesthetic icon by Sandro Botticelli. The creative solution may be seen as paying a tribute to Italian heritage. Similarly, the choice, coding and use of Venus as the ambassador and influencer may be read as challenging stereotyped gender representation in tourism discourse. However, the results show that the graphic configuration venereitalia23 achieves in the virtual dimension (through gestures, actions, clothing, gaze, size of frame, information value) makes it resemble a doll-influencer. Ultimately, the campaign fails in both celebrating the artistic heritage and emancipating the female role, as both are exploited and objectified.
Mixed space coupled hidden Markov model

Published: February 2025

A coupled Hidden Markov Model (cHMM) is a hidden Markov model whose hidden Markov chain is bi-dimensional. In this paper, we focus to solve the likelihood and the decoding problems of a cHMM whose state space is composed of a continuous part and a discrete part. We adapt Forward, Backward and Viterbi algorithms to be able to study such cHMMs problems. Basic numerical examples are considered to show the well functioning of the elaborated algorithms for our proposal.
Monetary Policy and Growth at Risk: The Role of Financial Conditions
Authors: Zhang Licheng
Published: February 2025

Previous studies mainly examine the monetary policy transmission to average growth outcomes, this paper instead studies the effects of monetary policy on the tail outcomes of GDP growth – Growth at Risk (GaR). We first use quantile regression to estimate the conditional distribution of GDP growth, and then estimate the impulse responses with smooth local projections. Our results show that GaR deteriorates in response to contractionary monetary policy shocks, suggesting an increase in macroeconomic tail risk. We investigate the role of financial conditions in the transmission of monetary policy to GaR. We find that contractionary monetary policy shocks lead to tighter financial conditions, and tighter financial conditions have significant negative effects on GaR. Moreover, we show that tighter financial conditions increase future recession risk in both the short and medium term.
Renouncing the Cyber War
Authors: Sayankina Sofiya
Published: February 2025

Article 9 of Japan’s constitution renounces war and allows the use of military force only in self-defense. Thus, Japan can neither use the growing number of cyber tools available to other state actors, nor can it fully adopt the same threat-based approach to its national security narrative. This article addresses a gap in the literature by examining the case of a state that possesses technology, resources, and capabilities but is unable to adopt a threat-based security logic. Using discourse and content analysis methods, I show how Japan has constructed its cybersecurity narrative within a risk-based security framework. I also trace the changes that Japan’s cybersecurity narrative has undergone and explain how cyber risks and narrative constraints have influenced the cyber policymaking process in Japan.

Published: February 2025

STEM literacy, the goal of STEM education, has shown potential for enhancement through outdoor activities in informal learning environments. However, the use of these activities in formal school settings to promote students’ STEM literacy remains unexplored. This research examined the STEM literacy of students participating in formal school settings through outdoor STEM activities across various contexts: elective subjects, extracurricular activities, and student clubs. The participants in this pre-experimental study included 29 students in elective subjects, 37 students in extracurricular activities, and 48 students in student clubs. The research instrument was a STEM literacy test comprising six open-ended questions to assess six components of STEM literacy: STEM concepts, STEM integration, STEM practice, STEM participation, STEM evaluation, and STEM awareness. Data were collected from students in each group before and after engaging in outdoor STEM activities using the STEM literacy test. Means (M) and standard deviations (SD) were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that students participating in student clubs had a higher mean STEM literacy score after learning (M=15.37, SD=3.71) compared to students in elective courses (M=14.62, SD=3.34) and extracurricular activities (M=10.30, SD=3.46). These results suggest that student clubs are the most effective method for promoting students’ STEM literacy. The researchers also provide recommendations for enhancing students’ STEM literacy through student clubs.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is an external reinforcement solution for wooden structures, where several studies have shown its efficiency in maintenance and design. This solution is not yet among the main topics of literature, although its importance justifies new research on this relevant topic for construction. This systematic literature review involves the FRP as reinforcement in wood-based columns, using Engineering Village and Web of Science databases and PRISMA protocol to follow the procedures and ensure the quality of sampling. Reinforcement dispositions and types of assessments were identified so that the literature synthesis can contribute to identifying behavior models. Different methods of reinforcement sizing studied by the literature were synthesized and detailed as to their respective uses. A positive correlation between the reinforcement index and the increasing the load capacity of timber columns were discussed and statistically analyzed.
Nanocellulose targets regenerative medicine
Authors: Kitaoka Takuya
Published: February 2025

The term “nanocellulose” encompasses a wide range of cellulose-derived nanomaterials, which are characterized by their diverse morphologies and chemical structures at the nanometer scale. In recent years, there has been a remarkable increase in the use of nanocellulose in regenerative medicine. Of particular interest is the in vitro culture of pluripotent stem cells, which has led to a growing demand for animal-free media and scaffolds in stem cell culture. Extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a pivotal role in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells, with fibrous collagen and glycosaminoglycans serving as structural and functional supports. In this context, nanocellulose has garnered significant interest as potential ECM mimetics, due to its rigid fiber form and its regular interfacial structures. The use of natural polysaccharide nanofibers would represent a promising avenue for the functional design of animal-free cell culture scaffolds, with the potential to significantly advance the regulation of stem cell culture in regenerative medicine.

The study involved 32 handball players aged 12-14 who trained in the usual mode, in accordance with the requirements of the handball curriculum: the control group (CG, n=17) of female athletes trained according to the coach's plans, while the training sessions of the experimental group (EG, n=15) additionally included specially selected relays, which were performed by the athletes once a week for 10 minutes before game training. The main content of the training sessions in both groups corresponded to the curriculum. The following methods were used to conduct the study: analysis of scientific literature, which established the relevance of the proposed question and selected methods for establishing the level of development of the cognitive properties of female athletes; interviewing coaches, which took place remotely by filling out Google Forms. A total of 43 coaches with over 5 years of experience participated in the survey; testing of the cognitive properties of female athletes was carried out using a digital device on which the handball players performed certain actions in a calm state before training, short-term memory, reaction speed, attentiveness and the ability to make a logical decision were determined. Testing was carried out twice - at the beginning of the study and after 3 months of the pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical and statistical information processing.

Results. It was established that there was no consistency in the opinions of coaches regarding the most important type of preparedness for young athletes and regarding the advantages of a certain cognitive property for the players' gaming activities (ʋ˃10%, the group is not homogeneous). The indicators of speed, attention and logical thinking of handball players aged 12-14 (n=32) in the “extra subject” test (579.34±31.41 s), attention in sequences “from 1 to 50” (66.74±10.17), short-term memory (47.07±10.51), memory “memorizing numbers” (5.5±0.61), and the ability to make logical decisions “Escapa” (8.6±1.4) were established. Positive significant changes in the manifestations of cognitive abilities of handball players aged 12-14 were established after 4 months of pedagogical experiment.

Conclusion. The proposed relay variants, which combine physical and specific mental activity of handball players in terms of making game decisions, have a positive effect on the development of cognitive properties of young female athletes aged 12-14.

The article analyzes the problem of unsuccessful psychological adaptation as a component of integral preparedness of 16-20-year-old basketball players for Super League teams at the stage of preparation for high achievements. Purpose of the Study is to analyze the causes and consequences of unsuccessful adaptation as a component of integral preparedness of 16-20-year-old basketball players for Super League teams, based on a review of scientific and methodological literature. Methods. Analysis of specialized scientific and methodological literature, generalization and systematization of data. Results. An analysis of scientific and methodological literature highlights that one of the key issues in improving the long-term training system in basketball is the application of modern interdisciplinary approaches to prepare a greater number of highly qualified athletes. In recent years, researchers in sports games and psychology have conducted numerous researches on athletes at the problematic stage in the long-term training system – the stage of preparation for high achievements. Unlike previous studies, our research focuses on identifying contemporary factors contributing to decreased integral preparedness of basketball players at this stage to develop and scientifically substantiate a pedagogical technology for integral preparedness in Super League teams as well as to designing a system of interconnected training and non-training tools and methods based on individual, personal activity, differentiated, and synergistic approaches. Conclusions. The study analyzed the causes and consequences of unsuccessful or prolonged adaptation of 16-20-year-old basketball players to Super League teams. Further research involves conducting surveys of young basketball players to determine their individual characteristics of integral preparedness at the stage of preparation for high achievements.

Technical and tactical actions (TTA) in football are performance indicators of players’ actions on the field. These include passes, ball recoveries, tackles, interceptions, shots, and more. Most technical and tactical actions consist of passing and ball tackling. In football, the winning team is often the one whose players achieve a higher percentage of successful ball recovery attempts against opponents. Both attacking and defending players must not only understand how to properly engage in physical challenges for the ball but also effectively apply this knowledge during official matches.

Purpose of the study: To determine the error rate in ball recoveries by the Ukrainian national team during the group stage matches of the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship.

Methods of research: Theoretical analysis and synthesis of data from scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observation methods, and methods of mathematical statistics. Ball recovery attempts by the players of the Ukrainian men’s national team were recorded during group stage matches at the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship. Both successful and unsuccessful recovery attempts were recorded in three zones of the field: the middle zone, defensive zone, and attacking zone. The error rate for each team was calculated as the percentage of unsuccessful attempts relative to the total number of ball recovery attempts.

Results of the study: It was found that in the defensive zone, the highest error rate in ball recovery was recorded during the match against the Slovak national team. In the match against the Belgian national team, Ukrainian players achieved the lowest error rate in ball recovery. The error rate in the middle zone of the field during the matches against Slovakia was 63±0.66%, while against Belgium it was 62.5±0.69%.

Conclusions: The analysis of the Ukrainian national team’s group stage matches at the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship revealed an error rate in ball recovery ranging from 25.25±0.67% to 56.25±0.72% in the defensive zone, from 34.00±0.71% to 63.00±0.66% in the middle zone, and from 33.25±0.73% to 75.00±0.62% in the attacking zone. The lowest error rate was observed in the defensive zone during the match against the Belgian national team.

Purpose: аnalytical аnalysis of рublications on recovery in sports games using the VOSviewer software in the PubMed Database. Materials and Methods. A bibliometric analysis of the PubMed database was conducted to create a dataset of studies as of December 31, 2024. The search phrase used was «recovery in sports games». Publications from 1979 (the date of the first publication) to 2024 were analyzed. The VOSviewer 1.6.19 software was employed for keyword analysis, direct citation analysis, bibliometric mapping, visualization of cluster density, and citation weight analysis. Results: using VOSviewer 1.6.19, 452 scientific publications were identified. The research period was divided into three 15-year segments: 1979–1994 – 8 publications (1,8 % of total publications); 1995–2009 – 59 publications (13,1 %); 2010–2024 – 385 publications (85,1 %). A significant increase in publications was observed after 2010, reflecting the growing importance of this topic in modern sports games. Between 1979 and 2024, 2,015 authors from 1,189 organizations contributed to research on this subject. The most prolific authors included: Krustrup Peter (13 publications; total citation strength 94); Mohr Magni (11 publications; total citation strength 95); Castagna Carlo (11 publications; total citation strength 38); Chamari Karim (11 publications; total citation strength 30); Dellal Alexandr: (9 publications; total citation strength 16). The program identified 1364 keywords. A threshold of 5 occurrences was applied to exclude infrequent terms, resulting in 173 elements visualized and grouped into six clusters. The network contained 5059 links with a total weight of 20803. The most popular research areas revolved around keywords such as «humans», «male», «adult», «athletic performance», «young adult», «soccer», «female», «running», «adolescent», «athletes». Overlay visualization revealed that the latest publications often focus on narrower topics (training processes, training-induced injuries, workload, and performance), while older studies addressed broader issues (physical education and training, doping in sports). Conclusions. An analytical analysis of publications in the PubMed bibliometric database was conducted. A significant increase in publications was noted over the past 15 years. Six clusters characterizing the main directions of scientific research were identified. The bulk of scientific publications focused on identifying factors that reduce performance in training and competition and developing effective recovery approaches (specialized training, massage, dietary supplements, and new technologies). Addressing these issues should be a priority for future research.
