From Reality to Recognition: Evaluating Visualization Analogies for Novice Chart Comprehension
Authors: Huang Oliver , Lee Patrick Yung Kang , Nobre Carolina
Published: January 2025

Novice learners often have difficulty learning new visualization types because they tend to interpret novel visualizations through the mental models of simpler charts they have previously encountered. Traditional visualization teaching methods, which usually rely on directly translating conceptual aspects of data into concrete data visualizations, often fail to attend to the needs of novice learners navigating this tension. To address this, we systematically explored how analogies can be used to help novices with chart comprehension. We introduced visualization analogies: visualizations that map data structures to real-world contexts to facilitate an intuitive understanding of novel chart types. We evaluated this pedagogical technique using a within-subject study (N=128) where we taught 8 novel chart types with visualization analogies. Our findings show that visualization analogies improve visual analysis skills and help learners transfer their understanding to actual charts. They effectively introduce visual embellishments, cater to diverse learning preferences, and are preferred by novice learners over traditional chart visualizations. This study offers theoretical insights and practical tools to advance visualization education through analogical reasoning.
Variance Explained (Vx): A General, Model-Based Approach for Explaining and Partitioning Variance
Authors: Bednall Timothy Colin
Published: January 2025

Understanding the variance explained by statistical models is crucial for data analysis andinterpretation. Traditional measures such as R-Squared, coefficient omega, and Cronbach’s alphaprovide insights into model performance, but they often lack consistency and comparabilityacross different contexts. This paper introduces a general index for variance explained (Vx),which encompasses predictive model evaluation, reliability analysis, and variable importance.The Vx framework offers a unified approach, enhancing consistency in assessing model fit andsimplifying reporting across various models. It also facilitates communication of results to nonacademicaudiences, including policymakers and the public. The Vx index is straightforward tocalculate using widely available software and provides a model-based approach that reflectshypothesized relationships among variables. This paper demonstrates the application of the Vxframework to multiple regression models, path and mediational models, and confirmatory factoranalyses, using published datasets and providing accompanying R code and Excel spreadsheetsfor replication. The Vx framework offers a flexible and interpretable method for evaluatingmodel performance, which can be applied to a range of different models within the structuralequation modelling family.

Published: January 2025

Virtual reality (VR) programs can support multiple aspects of well-being and have been developed by marginalized groups for these purposes, but there is still a systemic power imbalance. Marginalized groups have a place in digital well-being and can lead efforts directed towards resources that they desire. To better support these efforts and mobilize knowledge amongst marginalized stakeholders, we performed a scoping review of VR’s use for wellbeing. Taking an equity lens that considers the experiences of intersectional marginalization, we aimed to identify VR programs, their targets, outcomes, and equity-related facilitators and barriers. In May 2023, we conducted a comprehensive literature search of MEDLINE, PsychInfo, Embase, and Web of Science databases and grey literature for virtual reality and marginalized populations. Eligible research articles since the inception of the databases were those that met our predefined criteria of VR, marginalized populations, and well-being. We included 38 studies and charted preregistered variables using narrative synthesis and descriptive statistics. The populations represented in the included studies were often intersectionally marginalized and observed that VR offered diverse support, such as social support and affirmation, mental and emotional well-being, education and support for disability and physical health, and cultural connections. Overall, most studies reported positive findings, though several noted no effect on at least some outcomes. VR’s flexibility created informal, flexible spaces, with support from peers, and contributed to mental and social well-being. Several factors could challenge marginalized groups’ ability to follow and create pathways to VR well-being programs, such as the lack of free programs, data and program ownership, and intersectional data analyses. This area reflects a growing literature topic, with half of the studies published in 2022 or 2023. Which also means, currently, many studies have limitations like small sample sizes and are lacking mixed-methods or practical significance analyses. Moving forward, researchers could apply more open-access and inclusivity practices in their design and recruitment to widen equitable access to marginalized stakeholders. However, many marginalized populations created VR programs and benefited from them, contributing to a rebalancing of power over wellbeing.
Trust dynamics among producers and regulators: The case of aquaculture
Authors: Hartenstine Haley , Carlton Stuart
Published: January 2025

Remaking the global food production and distribution system into something more ecologically and economically sustainable is among the great challenges of our time. This challenge will need to be addressed on multiple levels—from small-time producers to large multinational corporations and from local governments to international treaties—across multiple components of food production. Trust among producers, regulators, and resource managers is one of the many things that will be required to successfully transform the food system. In this qualitative study, we explore trust dynamics among aquaculture producers in the midwestern US. Based on a series of 34 interviews, we use the trust ecology framework to illustrate both how the different dimensions of trust are present among aquaculture producers and how the dimensions of trust might be threatened. Our findings emphasize the importance of building stronger interpersonal relationships between regulatory agencies and aquaculture producers. Additionally, our research shows that producers feel a need for more vocal advocacy for the industry within the regulatory system. These findings present an important case study illustrating how trust influences the relationship between producers and regulators and how building trust might allow the industry to work together to grow production and, potentially, sustainability.
COVID-19 Vaccine Diplomacy: A Computational Multimodal Analysis of the Neighborhood Effect in Bangladesh's Vaccine Roll-out Response
Authors: Juha Sharmin Jahan , Mizan Arefin
Published: January 2025

Bangladesh started its COVID-19 mass vaccination program from February 2020. According to the COVAX live (Live COVID-19 Vaccination Tracker), as of May 2022, 70.26% of the total population have been vaccinated. This is indeed an example of Bangladesh governments' astounding competence that Bangladesh is considered among the first few countries to start vaccinations. However, Bangladesh did experience occasional hiccups in steady vaccine roll-out due to disruptions in the supply chain. Experts condemned Bangladesh's diplomatic choice of relying on only India as a steady vaccine manufacturing source after India decided to temporarily halt vaccinations right before the administration of second doses. Bearing reference to the 'Neighborhood Effect' in International Politics which implies that excessive dependency on geographical neighbors can cause similar levels of instability in both the countries (neighbors), this paper examines Bangladesh's overall Diplomatic approach in its COVID-19 Vaccination program with comparison to its East Asian counterpart Mongolia. Mongolia secured high-ranking position in COVID-19 mass vaccination using its strategic partnerships to pool vaccines from multiple sources as a result of its 2011 multi-pillars Foreign Policy (Third Neighborhood Policy) approach. Using a novel computational multimodal discourse analysis using machine learning assisted techniques in two large hand-collected datasets, the paper delves into the practices implemented by Bangladesh's multi-level stakeholders from the early stages of the pandemic until January this year to find any signs of or impacts of the Neighborhood Effect in its Vaccine Diplomacy. The paper later on makes policy-level suggestions on how to resolve this in case of future health crisis with occasional mention and comparison to Mongolia's Third Neighborhood approach and its implacability in Bangladeshi context.
The Female Suffering in Torto Arado: An Analysis of the Relationship Between Belonisia and Tobias
Authors: Lacerda Giovana Ramalho , Lacerda Ana Claudia Ramalho
Published: January 2025

In the novel Torto Arado, various aspects of the daily life of a family living in the poverty of the Bahia backlands are addressed. They survive through work akin to slavery, and their social roles are strongly tied to race, class, and gender. This study provides an observational literary analysis of the female figure and her constant submission and suffering, based on the relationship between Belonisia and Tobias. In the narrative, each of the sisters assumes an identity: while Bibiana represents resistance and social transformation, Belonia represents female submission in a patriarchal society, in discriminatory and unromantic gender relationships, as was the case with their ancestors. The analysis results showed that the marriage between Belonisia and Tobias does not consider the woman's wishes from the beginning, when she is arranged to marry her husband by her father. Furthermore, throughout the relationship, she suffers various mistreatments from her husband, who constantly disqualifies and beats the girl, who is unable to free herself from this relationship due to the social expectations surrounding her marriage. Thus, it was concluded that the girl is silenced in her relationship with Tobias, both by the accident she suffered in childhood, which took away her ability to speak, and by her inability to distance herself from her husband and his aggression. Due to the girl's patriarchal education and the lack of knowledge about social rights, Belonisia lives in a context where domestic violence is normalized, and the culture of being silenced by the male figure prevails. Therefore, the analysis of the female figure in the marriage between Belonisia and Tobias is of utmost importance.

Post-Intercultural Communication Research: The Ecological Turn and the Humanism-Posthumanism Continuum
Authors: Busch Dominic
Published: January 2025

The ecological turn in intercultural communication research understands human environmentaldegradation as a cultural product, parallel to colonial attitudes. In reaction tothis, the ecological turn sees humans as an equal part of nature. This requires a radicaldisruption of previous thinking, often embodied in posthumanist philosophies. However,posthumanism can also be seen as a continuum to humanism, providing a more consistentframework for the aims of humanism. Humanist research on intercultural communicationhas always been less concerned with emphasising the peculiarities of culture and moreconcerned with how human beings can free themselves from cultural constraints, developand evolve. Posthumanist thinking pushes culture further aside and opens up to a postinterculturalcommunication research that explores human potentials and responsibilitiesin the ecological turn.
Beyond the Normative Impasse of Environmental Migration: From Regimes to Infrastructures in a Latin American Key
Authors: Hoffmann Florian F. , dos Reis Santos Leilane Nascimento
Published: January 2025

The article draws on the concept of legal infrastructures and infrastructuring processes in the context of the ongoing discussion on the (legal) framing of environmental migration. It lays out why the entanglement of empirical and normative indeterminacy in environmental migration forces open the door to a transdisciplinary and multidimensional perspective. It explores how framing environmental migration in terms of legal mobility infrastructures, or, rather, of the legal infrastructuring of (global) mobility can help transcend the legal impasse that currently still surrounds it. It draws on previous work on entangled mobility regimes in Latin America, most notably in the context of the Venezuelan refugee crisis as of 2015 and on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the border regime in Brazil. Some of the phenomena observed in these contexts provide valuable insights into the logic of the legal infrastructuring of mobility and into how the environment/displacement nexus might be infrastructured in a region that is one of the hotspots of the climate crisis.
A Review of Francisco Martínez, Ethnographic Experiments with Artists, Designers and Boundary Objects: Exhibitions as a Research Method. London: UCL Press, 2021, 202 pp.
Authors:   Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, Vasilyeva Zinaida
Published: January 2025

This book is a study of the curatorial experience as an example of experimental participatory practices in anthropology, in which the anthropologist is an active participant in the field and its co-organiser. In seven chapters, the researcher of materiality Francisco Martínez describes and problematises transdisciplinary collaborations in the preparation and curation of the exhibition, exploring their potential and limitations. What happens when an anthropologist becomes a curator and applies anthropological imagination and reflection on modes of knowledge production as a method of organising exhibition space? How do material objects and the connections between them form politically charged assemblages, and how can the reconfiguration of these connections generate change in the social field? What knowledge, assumptions, material conditions and skills make transdisciplinary collaborations possible and productive? Martínez explores these and other questions, particularly focusing on the productivity of tensions in curatorial practice and demonstrating the heuristic potential of the exhibition as a space for participatory knowledge production. Here, objects operate not as illustrations to a predetermined narrative, but as epistemic devices that provoke questions and generate new meanings and connections. The book is written on materials collected by the author during the preparation and realisation of the exhibition Objects of Attention (Tallinn, 2019) and includes a rich description of the author’s curatorial experience and his interactions with museum staff, designers, artists and visitors. Martínez’s work contributes to experimental ethnography, which attempts to rethink and transcend subject-object relations in anthropological research, pushing the methodological boundaries of the discipline. It will be of interest to anyone interested in curatorial experience, ethnographies of transdisciplinary collaboration, experimental practices and methods, and collaborations with artists and designers.

Women's psychological well-being is influenced by many complex factors such as gender-specific stressors, the need to balance work and life, and structural bias. The paper reviews major challenges that women are confronted with in a variety of industrial settings, outlining how workplace culture, social expectations, and insufficient mental health resources affect their general well-being. The paper also examines the interplay of gender socialization, stress responses, coping mechanisms, and organizational psychology to identify effective strategies for creating a supportive and inclusive workplace environment that prioritizes women’s mental well-being. In a nutshell, it recommends that employers prioritize the mental well-being of women, which would eventually help their entire workforce.
Continuing the Evaluation Journey: Sharing the Lunaape Seven Directions Medicine Wheel (7DMW™) Model
Authors: Bowman (Lunaape/Mohican) Dr. Nicole
Published: January 2025

As part of decades of Indigenous evaluation scholarship in the global North and South this article highlights how decolonized, culturally responsive, and Indigenous evaluation frameworks, theories, and methods can be developed and refined over time. Using a Lunaape Medicine Wheel framework, the author builds on the four directions and extends it to a Seven Directions Lunaape Medicine Wheel (7DMW™) model using traditional teachings and language, educational and career pathways development, and real-world applications. The article offers multiple examples of how the 7DMW framework has been used in contemporary ways to evaluate entrepreneurial business values, ethics, philosophy, and operations an has been applied to evaluation projects and initiatives. The article concludes with reflections on capacity building and strategies for bridging Indigenous and non-Indigenous contexts and evaluators. The reader should leave with professional, academic, and personal insights that should be considered for future evaluative thinking, professional development, equitable and sustainable resource allocation, policy, and practice at the program, organizational, systems, and nation-to-nation (First Nation and public government) levels.
Indigenous Data Sovereignty: Applying It By, With, For, and Through Indigenous Evaluators and Evaluations
Authors: Bowman (Lunaape/Mohican) Dr. Nicole , Bremner (Métis) Larry
Published: January 2025

Indigenous data sovereignty (IDS) is a relatively recent term and global movement that originated from the Global Indigenous Data Alliance (GIDA) in 2015 when the formal international network was created. The global North and South have representation in the GIDA through the nation-states including the Maiam nayri Wingara Collective (Australia), Te Mana Raraunga Maori Data Sovereignty Network (Aotearoa New Zealand), and the United States Indigenous Data Sovereignty Network. IDS is founded on time-immemorial knowledge, wisdom, and lifeways of Indigenous peoples and First Nations globally including Tribal treaties, Tribal constitutions, the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and other human and natural rights laws. The authors share an overview of IDS; the experiences they had presenting and learning at the 2024 IDS Conference in Tucson, Arizona, USA; and examples and applications of IDS to their direct evaluation, editorial, and publication policy work. They conclude the article with their reflections on how the field of evaluation should be aware and inclusive as it moves forward into the future applying IDS to evaluative thinking, theory, policies, funding, and practice.

ОСНОВИ МЕТОДИКИ НАВЧАННЯ УЧНІВ РОЗВ’ЯЗУВАТИ ЗАДАЧІ З ФІЗИКИ
Authors: Касянова Г. В.
Published: January 2025

У статті розглядаються питання, які стосуються методики навчання учнів розв’язувати задачі з фізики, а саме: розкрито зміст задачі, мету її розв’язання, розкрито дидактичні функції задачі (пізнавальну, відтворюючу, тренувально-формуючу, конструктивну, мотиваційну, систематизуючу, діагностико-профілактичну, контрольно-коригувальну), показано, що системний підхід до процесу навчання передбачає поєднання репродуктивної і творчої діяльності учнів. Залежно від характеру діяльності учнів під час розв’язування задач останні поділяються на стандартні і творчі. Робиться акцент на те, що навчальна творча задача характеризується тим, що в результаті її розв’язання знаходять суб’єктивно новий результат.
Зазначено, що сутність застосування задач як способу активізації навчально-пізнавальної діяльності учнів полягає в раціональному доборі і використанні системи фізичних задач як творчих, так і алгоритмічних та керуванні, за потребою, ходом їх розв’язування вчителем фізики.
Побачити нову ідею – основна трудність таких задач. У процесі їх розв’язування учень опиняється в умовах проблемної ситуації, яку треба виявити, сформулювати або переформулювати. Звичайно, ступінь участі учнів у розв’язуванні таких задач виявляється неоднаковим і значною мірою залежить від їхніх можливостей. Для успішного керування процесом розв’язування треба відбирати задачі за принципом їх послідовного і поступового ускладнення. Занадто легкі задачі не можуть підтримувати пізнавальну активність учнів на належному рівні, а непосильні задачі підривають їх віру в свої можливості, породжують негативні емоції, знижують інтерес до навчання, тому потрібно розраховувати на високий, але посильний для учнів рівень трудності. Процес навчання – це і процес виховання багатьох рис людини, у тому числі наполегливості в досягненні мети, волі, старанності. Тому задачі в міру набування учнями знань, навичок і вмінь треба ускладнювати.

Spectral Characteristics of Photoluminescence Synthesized in the Field of Radiation YAGG Phosphors with Different Al/Ga Ratio
Authors: Tulegenova A.T. , Nogaibekova G.Zh. , Saidazimov I.A. , Vilchinskaya S.S. , Markhabayeva A.A.
Published: January 2025

In the study the results of luminescence spectra investigating and excitation of ceramics luminescence with different Al/Ga ratios, synthesized by irradiating a mixture of initial materials with different prehistories were presented. Mixtures of oxides powders with stoichiometric composition corresponding to Y3AlxGa5-xO12: Ce, where x ranged from 0 to 5, were prepared for synthesis. All initial materials had a purity of no less than ana- lytical grade. The synthesis was carried out under the influence of an electron beam with an energy of 1.4 MeV and a power density of 20 kW/cm2. The yield of the synthesis reaction, the ratio of the sample mass to the mixture, was 90‒95 %. Research has shown that decreasing the Al/Ga ratio results in a shift of the lu- minescence band towards the short-wavelength region of the spectrum. Additionally, the excitation spectrum changes. As the Al/Ga ratio decreases, the excitation band shifts towards the long-wavelength region around 350 nm. The characteristics of luminescence are influenced by the prehistory of the initial materials.

O ensino da Imunologia em cursos de graduação é de grande complexidade, devido a existência de conceitos abstratos, necessidade de conhecimentos prévios e multidisciplinares. Tendo em vista a dificuldade de compreensão frente ao ensino da Imunologia, a dramatização é uma metodologia de ensino ativa que pode de forma lúdica simplificar e desmistificar o seu ensino. O objetivo do artigo foi desenvolver um mecanismo metodológico alternativo que possibilitasse o ensino da imunologia de modo simplificado e por meio de uma construção conjunta por estudantes de um curso de graduação em Odontologia. Os resultados, indicam que a construção da dramatização como ferramenta de ensino possibilita a construção do conhecimento de forma ativa, integrativa e descomplicada, promovendo, ainda, a experiência de novas habilidades artísticas. A utilização de uma metodologia de ensino alternativa que envolve os estudantes através da ludicidade, como o teatro, promove também o desenvolvimento cognitivo baseado em processos dinâmicos capazes de gerar melhor socialização entre os envolvidos e concretizar o conhecimento por meio do compartilhamento de ideias. A dramatização revela-se, portanto, como uma ferramenta criativa de promoção de conhecimento que pode ser empregada nos diversos níveis educacionais.

Para isso, foram produzidos modelos 3D impressos de corações adultos e pediátricos com anomalias cardíacas congênitas, e modelos demonstrativos da formação embrionária do coração. Foram incluídos neste estudo 138 alunos, que estavam distribuídos em dois grupos (controle e impressão 3D). Os grupos foram avaliados por meio de pré-teste e pós-teste, que avaliou o aprendizado dos alunos acerca do entendimento de anatomia e embriologia cardíaca. Os resultados demonstraram que o grupo 3D apresentou resultados significativamente melhores no pós-teste quando comparados ao grupo controle (p<0,05). Dessa forma, sugere-se uma maior eficácia do ensino com a utilização dos modelos 3D impressos. Além disso, um questionário de autossatisfação foi utilizado para avaliar o feedback dos alunos e mostrou que os alunos ficaram satisfeitos com o uso das peças 3D em sala de aula.

Published: January 2025

Lagos Island faces challenges from coastal hazards and inadequate infrastructure, making precise geoid modelling essential for urban planning, flood risk assessment, and infrastructure development. This study addresses discrepancies in height references and emphasizes the need for accurate geoid data to support spatial planning and disaster management. The main objective is to create a geoid model tailored to Lagos Island's unique geography and infrastructure needs. The research combines the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and levelling data which created a reliable framework for determining geoid heights with high precision across Lagos Island. The methodology uses spirit levelling to obtain orthometric heights and GNSS technology, precisely Promak2 differential GNSS Receiver, to collect positional data. Ninety stations were surveyed to ensure comprehensive area coverage. This data was used to develop a geoid model through geometrical interpolation, accurately representing the local geoid surface. In the independent test, where 10 points were excluded from interpolation, the modelled geoid heights showed an RMSE of 0.2 metres, with the largest and smallest absolute deviations being 0.4 metres and 0.01 metres, respectively. In the non-independent test, where all points were used for interpolation, the comparison between the computed (observed) and modelled geoid heights at the same points showed a mean deviation of −0.3 metres. The RMSE and standard deviation were both 0.1 metres, confirming the model's accuracy in determining the local geoid. This demonstrates its suitability for precise local geoid determination in Lagos Island, providing a valuable tool for spatial analysis, infrastructure planning, and disaster mitigation. The study highlights the importance of integrating traditional surveying techniques with modern GNSS technology to address coastal urban challenges.

Delineating zones with the potential groundwater contains is a crucial for the effective exploration and extraction of this resource. Six seismic refraction traverses for measuring compressional wave velocities (vp) were conducted in the Qularaisi area, northwest of Sulaimaniyah City in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to determine the ground water potential zone in the selected area, each traverse has a total length of 230 m, with an inter-geophone spacing of 5 m. The velocities and the thickness of each layer were subsequently calculated based on the obtained data. This analysis provides insights into the geological formation and composition of the area. The interpretation results reveal the presence of three distinct geological layers. The first upper layer consists of clay topsoil deposits characterized by brittle materials, with the thickness ranging from 0 to 4.2 m and seismic velocities (vp) between 339 and 583 m/s. The second layer, with a thickness of 4.2 to 16.8 m and vp values between 1248 and 2650 m/s, corresponds to recent deposits of clay, sand, silt, and gravel, interpreted as unconsolidated sediments. The third layer is characterized as a consolidated marly limestone belonging from the middle Tanjero formation, occurring at depths exceeding 20 metres. This layer reflects a more compact geological structure, distinguishing it from the overlying unconsolidated materials with the vp values ranging from 3606 to 4844 m/s. The seismic refraction results indicate that the aquifer is a sand and gravel inter-granular aquifer at the depth to the saturated groundwater layers in the area ranges from 10 to 25 m whereas lower layer of marl bed reaches to a depth of 40.2 m acts as the impermeable bed.
