Two Decade of Scholarly Landscape: A Bibliometric Exploration of Digital Humanities in Education Research
Authors: Suryani Ina , Mustafa Wan Azani , Khamis Noorli , Warsidi Warsidi , Zubir Faharol
Published: February 2025

The study explores the integration of digital humanities in education research, focusing on the application of digital tools and methodologies to enhance educational research and practice. Given the rapid advancement of technology in academia, Digital Humanities (DH) plays a significant role in fostering interdisciplinary studies, especially in language and humanities education. Despite its potential, research on DH in education lacks comprehensive bibliometric analysis, which this study addresses using Scopus Analyzer and VOSviewer software. A dataset of 603 publications was gathered, analyzed for trends, prolific authors, and collaborative networks. Results indicate an exponential growth in DH publications, especially post-2018, with significant contributions from the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany. Keyword analysis reveals central themes around “artificial intelligence,” “digital literacy,” and “higher education,” suggesting that DH in education emphasizes the role of technology in developing s
INFORMAL SCIENCE EDUCATION IN PRIMARY SCHOOL: THE CASE OF IMPLEMENTING PHYSARUM POLYCEPHALUM AS AN EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION
Authors: Raudoniūtė Aušrinė
Published: February 2025

In the context of STEAM education, it is challenging to find innovative methods that promote student engagement and develop practical skills. This study analyzed the use of the slime mold Physarum polycephalum in informal primary science education at a private school in Lithuania. The aim of the study was to examine the implementation process of this innovation, its key motivations, challenges, and impact on student learning. A semi-structured interview revealed that the uniqueness of P. polycephalum, its ease of cultivation, and interdisciplinary applicability stimulated students’ curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. The activities enabled students to acquire laboratory skills, explore microbiology, and engage in experimental biology. Although the initiative faced challenges such as microbiological contamination control, proper preparation and ensuring suitable conditions helped to overcome these obstacles. The study results demonstrated that this educational practice could enrich STEAM education by involving students in active learning and enhancing their problem-solving abilities. Successful application of this method requires teacher preparation, information dissemination, and consistent methodological refinement. The use of Physarum polycephalum has the potential to become an innovative tool for fostering students’ interest in science and its practical applications.
Keywords: STEAM education, Physarum polycephalum, educational innovation, non-formal education, inquiry-based learning.
Planning for Nocturnal Cultural Encounters
Authors: Roberts Marion
Published: February 2025

This chapter springs from a project which examines the interrelation between night studies and urban design in England and Wales. Guidance for urban design mainly ignores black and ethnic minority experiences of exclusion in the time/space of the urban night. This omission illustrates the normative thinking that underpins urban planning for new urban extensions and regeneration projects. A striking exception comes from London with its Night Time Enterprise Zones which take inclusion, particularly for black and minority ethnic groups, seriously. Using secondary sources, this chapter discusses the potentials for and barriers to planning for cultural nocturnal encounters in the UK context of neoliberal governmentality, issues with policing, an economic crisis and post Brexit labour shortages.
Digital Day Labourers—Sleepless in the Gig Economy: Fieldwork Photo Essay
Authors: Litschel Laura-Solmaz
Published: February 2025

If you take a night walk through Berlin, you will see green and red flashing scooters, fast Uber drivers, food couriers, delivery vehicles everywhere. In metropolises like Berlin, digital platforms now allow central human needs such as food, mobility and housing to be satisfied on-demand in a 24/7 rhythm via app-based ordering platforms. All it takes is a smartphone. What kind of working conditions does this so-called gig economy promote? As part of a three-year research project, Laura-Solmaz Litschel (NITE/HU Berlin) collected numerous photos of app-driven night work in Berlin, ten of which are shown here. UX designer Lee Hielscher helped with the graphic realization of the four image collages, which were also presented in June 2022 at FREIRAUM in the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg, among other places.

The following article accompanies the photo essay. A similar version by Laura-Solmaz Litschel was first published on July 7th, 2021 in issue 20/27 of the German weekly newspaper Der Freitag.
Spaces of Night-Time Encounter: Nocturnal Politics in Global Cinema, 2018-2022
Authors: Straw Will
Published: February 2025

In 2022, critics and scholars suggested that recent cinema had assumed a darker tone and that more films than usual were set predominantly or entirely in the night. The article explores the hypotheses that recent cinema has become “nocturnalized,” drawn to use night-time settings as a means of exploring a variety of social and political concerns. It focuses on three features of recent cinema: a stylistic engagement with the look of illuminated buildings at night; an increased use of single nights as the temporal frames for film narratives; and a construction of the night as the container of horrific events of a political or social character.
The Woman Artist and the Uncovering of the Social World
Authors: Hunt Lynn
Published: February 2025

Marie-Gabrielle Capet (1761-1818) was a painter of modest reputation who is now best known as the pupil of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard. Unrelated to the royal family whose surname she shared, Capet never had enough reputation or fortune to establish financial independence. Yet her work contributes to one of the most significant developments of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries: the discovery of society as an object of observation and systematic study. “Social science” was one of the most important offshoots of the French Revolution, and because Capet’s work spanned both the revolutionary decade of the 1790s and the Napoleonic sequel, her meticulous attention to fashion and to relations within the art world make her an especially interesting case study.
Stephen King and the Trouble with Poststructuralism
Authors: Blouin Michael J.
Published: February 2025

This essay analyzes multiple iterations of Stephen King’s epic IT—the novel as well as Andy Muschietti’s adaptations—to understand better King’s complicated relationship to poststructuralism. More specifically, the essay recognizes a core tension within works produced by that loose constellation of thinkers retroactively known as the poststructuralists: a tension between theories of power (see, most prominently, Michel Foucault) and theories of desire (see, most prominently, Jacques Lacan). Although its author never fully embraces a particular theoretical model, King’s IT nonetheless reflects this core tension, and by placing King’s text in dialogue with the major theoretical split, audiences might return with fresh eyes to the significance of Stephen King’s output as well as the legacy of the poststructuralists.
Reading Stephen King Religiously: Scary Stories and the Teaching of Religion
Authors: Cowan Douglas E.
Published: February 2025

Building on work first explored in America’s Dark Theologian: The Religious Imagination of Stephen King, this essay discusses why the work of Stephen King matters from the perspective of religious stud-ies. This essay explores four crucial aspects, including death, suffering, socialization, and meaning. Stephen King’s work matters less because of what his storyworlds say about him, than what they say about us, and about the limitless abyss that hides in plain sight just up the stairs, just around the corner, and just under the bed. He asks the questions we ask, but answers them only contingently, with stories that make us pull the covers a little closer and maybe leave the light on when we try to sleep.
“A certain rough justice”: Stephen King, Digital Activism, and Donald Trump
Authors: Simpson Philip
Published: February 2025

When controversial billionaire Donald J. Trump declared his improbable candidacy for President of the United States in 2015, it did not take long for best-selling author Stephen King to begin lambasting candidate Trump on Twitter (now X). King quickly utilized Trump’s preferred social media outlet to lob his own rhetorical bombshells right back at Trump. King’s invectives against Trump go beyond serving immediate gratification to those who despise Trump; indeed, King can be viewed as part of an online collective identity, otherwise known as digitally networked action, engaged in activist resistance to the political power wielded by Trump. This essay explores how King’s “certain kind of rough justice” operates within the long American tradition of political protest.

Thaddaeus Hagecius, or Hájek, 1526-1600
Authors: Žemla Martin
Published: February 2025

Tadeas Hajek of Hajek (1526–1600), Latinized as Thaddaeus Hagecius ab Hagek/Hayek, was a key figure in early scientific debates not only in his native Bohemia. A versatile scholar and polymath, he was prolific in medicine, botany, mathematics and astronomy. Modern interpreters tended to point out his astronomical interpretations to emphasize his greatest achievements and his “modernity.” However, Hajek also drew extensively on traditional arts such as alchemy, astrology and metoposcopy. In this volume, the contributors study various aspects of Hayek’s thought to present a less tendentious intellectual portrait of him in the context of his times. Even from this more adequate perspective, he remains an important figure in the dialectical process of transmitting ideas whose influence extended far beyond the Czech lands.
Social Role: The Physician in Renaissance Society
Authors: Žalud Zdeněk
Published: February 2025

This chapter discusses the new narratives in the history of medicine that emphasize power, authority, and the medical marketplace. In Renaissance society, the scholarly self-fashioning of physicians found expression in a broad range of non-medical activities and in the humanist practices of writing and communicating, including, among the members of the Hippocratic Guild, engaging in disputes. Some were about mere prestige, but others were matters of life and death. The chapter analyses two writings of Hájek, the Actio medica and the Antifanchelius, or Responsum ad exegesin. Here, Hájek critically evaluated the activities of one of his competitors, tried to defend his personal prestige, and enforced the regulation of medical practice so that there would be no further deaths of patients due to improper treatment.
Introduction: Hagecius, a Renaissance Man
Authors: Žemla Martin
Published: February 2025

The chapter provides an introduction to Tadeáš Hájek of Hájek, a renowned sixteenth-century Bohemian scholar. In a preliminary form, it presents his life, studies, interests, and influence, while emphasizing that Hájek was a scholar with a wide professional network. It briefly introduces the chapters that follow. It also gives an overview of the most important previous studies on Hájek and explains the non-progressivist and multidisciplinary approach used by the authors in this volume.
Punishment, Competition and the Regulation of Labour Mobility in Old and Middle Kingdom Egypt (c. 2494-1650 BC)1
Authors: Fagbore Adam Simon
Published: February 2025

This chapter analyses the surviving evidence for how government and provincial institutions used various punitive practices to immobilise personnel in protected royal and temple endowments, from conscription for both royal and non-royal labour projects, within the broader context of fierce competition with and between provincial elites and local authorities to acquire labour resources in the rural countryside. It argues that the punitive behaviours evident in the source data represent an attempt by national and local hierarchies to protect provincial institutions by regulating what seem to have been standard rural practices and provide evidence for increasing government penetration at the expense of traditional modes of local control over land and people in the countryside.
Shaping Film Festivals in a Changing World
Authors: Ostrowska Dorota , Falicov Tamara L.
Published: February 2025

The collection draws contours of critical inquiry orienting current film festival research and practice to explore new directions in archiving and decolonizing practices and big data analysis in the post-Covid-19 context and beyond. The four-part study gathers the voices of academics and practitioners who engage in a dialogue to articulate critical areas for both study and practice of film festivals, and identifies conceptual tools to address them: Archival Turn, Decolonizing Film Festival Studies, Post-Covid-19 and Film Festival Studies and Data Visualization and Film Festival Research and Practice.
Film Festivals in the Time of COVID-19: A Programmers Perspective
Authors: Kolmar Jim
Published: February 2025

This chapter details the mechanics of orchestrating film festivals, and how those processes evolved and adapted in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic that began in early 2020. As an event-based industry, multiple cancellations meant the festival ecosystem faced near collapse and migration to online platforms. These platforms played a major role in supporting the business and art of film exhibition and curation, including the development of hybrid forms and alternative modes of collaboration and dissemination. Drawing from fifteen years of direct experience in the field, this chapter investigates the stages involved in taking a film from completion to exhibition. It addresses financial considerations, the challenges arising from the pandemic, and confronts common misconceptions and assumptions made about film festivals.
Beyond Women Monsters and Psychoanalytic Terrors: The Monstrous-Feminine and Horror Cinematic Tropes in The Evil Within 2
Authors: Hartoonian Nazely
Published: February 2025

This chapter investigates how video games can repurpose traditional horror cinematic tropes to propel alternative, empowering ideas of feminine agency. I argue that monstrosity, as it appears through feminine-coded creatures, environments, and interactive sequences, has the power to transform misogynistic themes and archetypes such as the male gaze, the pairing of the hypermasculine killer and terrified female victim, and the stereotypical, heteronormative masculine protagonist.
The Monstrosity of Stigma: Mental Health Representation in Video Games
Authors: Dunlap Kelli , Kowert Rachel
Published: February 2025

As media content can shape the way we perceive and interpret the world by shifting individuals’ thoughts and cultural attitudes, it is important to analyse and critique this content, particularly when it relates to mental health. The way mental illness is portrayed in video games, the dominant medium of the 21st century, is of particular interest and is the focus of this discussion. This chapter discusses the monstrosity of mental health stigmas in games by exploring how mental health is portrayed, from obvious tropes to subtle environmental cues underpinned by insidious cultural assumptions. We hope to raise awareness of how mental illness is incorporated into gaming spaces and to encourage a greater understanding of how psychopathology has become culturally ingrained within games.

Published: February 2025

This study is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach aimed at evaluating the use of social media marketing to increase sales volume at Dapoer Zainab, a home industry in Gunungsitoli City founded in 2020 by Regina Nababan. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with two key informants: the business owner, Mrs. Regina Nababan, and employee, Mrs. Swasti Idawati Lase.
The results indicate that Dapoer Zainab currently relies on product photos as their main content strategy. However, this content has been less effective in capturing customer attention due to a lack of variety and creativity. Labor limitations have led to inconsistencies in content scheduling and the use of social media advertising features.
The findings suggest that despite efforts in content creation, results have not been optimal in increasing engagement and sales volume. It is recommended to introduce new content types such as videos and customer testimonials, and to improve creativity and consistency in content scheduling to enhance marketing effectiveness. Implementing these recommendations is expected to help Dapoer Zainab achieve better growth and significantly increase sales.

A conceptual model is suggested on the basis of a review of current practices, outlining the ways in which dynamic capabilities can improve the resilience and adaptability of AML/CFT. Future empirical research will test the effectiveness of the model in real-life application, enabling a deeper level of understanding of practical implementation.

Este artigo refere-se a uma pesquisa bibliográfica por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. Sendo utilizada como base de dados PubMed e LILACS. Com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram selecionados 22 artigos, sendo estes artigos publicados nos últimos 5 anos (2018-2023) sendo artigos completos e gratuitos; onde os artigos eram ensaio clinico e ensaio clinico controlado. Foi excluído artigos fora do tema abordado. A análise dos estudos revelou que o exercício físico auxilia no controle dos níveis de glicose em gestantes com diabetes gestacional. Apesar disso, não há evidências de que o exercício possa substituir completamente os medicamentos no tratamento. É crucial integrar tanto o exercício quanto o tratamento medicamentoso para um cuidado eficaz durante a gravidez. Embora o exercício seja vantajoso na melhora da curva glicemica, não alcança o mesmo nível de eficácia da terapia medicamentosa em determinados contextos, entretanto ainda se mostra mais eficaz do que o quando não associado ao exercicio. Essa constatação ressalta a importância do exercício como parte integrante de intervenções para a saúde, destacando seus benefícios significativos.

Este artigo visa uma reflexão acerca do processo de adoção tardia, considerando as relações subjetivas dos envolvidos. Explora a evolução histórica, cultural e jurídica da adoção, destacando sua importância tanto para os adotantes quanto para as crianças à espera. A adoção tardia envolve a construção de relações singulares com crianças cujas histórias frequentemente incluem rupturas familiares, violações de direitos e experiências de acolhimento institucional. O estudo também aborda as dificuldades na conciliação entre o perfil das crianças disponíveis para adoção e o perfil desejado pelos pretendentes, enfatizando o direito fundamental das crianças e adolescentes à convivência familiar. Além disso, o artigo analisa a aplicação prática do princípio do melhor interesse da criança e do adolescente, reconhecendo que ainda há desafios a serem superados para promover uma nova cultura de adoção no país, considerando-os sujeitos de direito com prioridade absoluta.

Abstract. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of including soybean oil (SO) in the diet of feedlot lambs on metabolic, behavioral, and ruminal parameters. Five rumen-cannulated lambs (average body weight of 47.76 ± 7.14 kg at approximately 15 months of age) were distributed in a 5 × 5 Latin square design. Their diets consisted of increasing levels of SO inclusion: 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 g kg−1 of dry matter (DM). Each period lasted 21 d, with 14 d for adaptation and 7 d for data collection. The data were analyzed using linear and quadratic polynomial contrasts, except for the ruminal fermentation parameters and plasma glucose, which were analyzed using repeated measures over time. There was a linear reduction in DM (P = 0.019) and crude protein (P = 0.007) intake as well as a linear decrease in non-fibrous carbohydrate intake (P < 0.001) and digestibility (P = 0.039) due to increased SO inclusion levels. The intake of ether extract increased linearly (P < 0.001), while its digestibility showed a quadratic relationship (P < 0.001) with the inclusion of SO in the diet. Feeding behavior was not altered by SO inclusion, except for rumination efficiency, which decreased linearly (P < 0.001). There was a linear reduction in nitrogen intake (P = 0.007), while no influence (P > 0.05) of SO inclusion was observed on ruminal fermentation parameters, except for a linear decrease in the concentration of rumen ammonia nitrogen (P = 0.023). The use of SO in diets for feedlot lambs should be approached with caution, as it can reduce DM intake, which may lead to decreased animal performance; however, further studies are needed to determine the effects on the productive cost and performance.

Abstract. Global hydrological models are essential tools for understanding water resources and assessing climate change impacts at planetary scales, supporting water management, flood risk assessment, and sustainable development initiatives worldwide. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT+) has demonstrated robust performance across various environments and scales, from local to continental applications. However, despite its widespread use, a global implementation of SWAT+ is currently lacking due to computational demands and data management challenges, while existing global models often lack the detailed process representation and high spatial resolution needed for comprehensive hydrological analysis. A global SWAT+ model would offer unique advantages through its integrated simulation of water quantity, quality, and land management processes, while supporting multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals and enhancing research opportunities in global hydrology. This study aimed to develop a High-resolution Global SWAT+ Model and establish a reproducible framework for large-scale SWAT+ applications. We developed the Community SWAT (CoSWAT) modeling framework, an open-source solution that automates data retrieval, preprocessing, and model configuration using Python, while maxmising parallel processing for computational efficiency. The global model was then set up using the framework at 2 km resolution using ASTER DEM, ESA land use data, FAO soil data, and ISIMIP climate data, with performance evaluated against GRDC flow data and GLEAM evapotranspiration dataset. Results without calibration showed reasonable spatial patterns in evapotranspiration simulation with 78.54 % of sampled points showing differences within ±100 mm compared to GLEAM data, though river discharge performance was limited due to lack of reservoir implementation with 23.02 % of stations showing positive Kling-Gupta Efficiency values. The development of this first global SWAT+ model demonstrates the feasibility of high-resolution global hydrological modeling using SWAT+, while the CoSWAT framework provides a robust foundation for reproducible large-scale modeling. These advances enable more detailed analysis of global water resources and climate change impacts, though future work should focus on incorporating water management practices, improving process representation with calibration, and enhancing computational efficiency.
