From “religion” to “spirituality” in socialist Bulgaria: Vanga, Nicholas Roerich, and the mystique of history
Authors: Valtchinova Galia
Published: January 2025

The article delves into processes unfolding in Bulgaria in the 1970s,
centring around two figures: Vanga, known as the seer of Petric, and the
mystic painter Nicholas Roerich, to demonstrate the changes in the structure
and meaning of categories related to religion that occurred in the period of
?mature socialism?. The first section looks into the activities of the
clairvoyant Vanga and her changing status to uncover the gradual process
that transformed her from a local vracka (healer/witch) into the ?Bulgarian
Pythia?. The second and longest section is dedicated to the Nicholas Roerich
Program of 1978, promoted at the highest level in the framework of the
celebration of 1300 years of the Bulgarian state, and its impact on coining
a peculiar concept of spirituality. The third and final part explores the
links between Roerich, Vanga, the notion of spirituality, and a certain
vision of history.
Frigjøring eller umyndiggjøring: Et kritisk perspektiv på læreplanens konsept om demokratisk deltakelse i skolen
Authors: Elmies-Vestergren Alexander
Published: January 2025

Denne artikkelen er en kritisk undersøkelse av ideen om demokratisk deltakelse i skolen, slik den formuleres i overordnet del til læreplanverket Kunnskapsløftet 2020 (LK20). Gjennom en tolkning av Klafki og Arendt etablerer jeg en danningsteoretisk forståelse av demokratisk deltakelse som en selvstendig, ansvarlig, politisk og kritisk form for deltakelse. Fra dette teoretiske perspektivet viser jeg hvordan læreplanens konsept kan true det pedagogiske bidraget til en slik deltakelse gjennom problemene umyndiggjøring, individualisering og avpolitisering. I møtet med disse problemene antyder jeg hvordan danningsteoretisk allmenndidaktikk kan gi relevante perspektiver for en forberedende tilnærming som tar hensyn til det pedagogiske paradoks, og jeg drøfter hvordan tilnærmingen kan være relevant i aktuell utdannings- og samfunnskontekst.
English abstract
Emancipation or Disempowerment: A Critical Perspective on the Norwegian Curriculum’s Concept of Democratic Participation in School
This article is a critical examination of the idea of democratic participation in school, as it is formulated in the Norwegian core curriculum (LK20). Through an interpretation of Klafki and Arendt, I establish an understanding of democratic participation as an autonomous, responsible, political and critical form of participation, and I show how the core curriculum’s concept could threaten the educational contribution to such a participation through the problems of disempowerment, individualization and depoliticization. Facing these problems, I suggest how Bildung-centered general didactics may provide relevant perspectives for a preparatory approach that takes the educational paradox into account, and I discuss how this approach could be relevant in the current educational and societal context.
Variation in Hematocrit Levels among Chronic Kidney Disease Patients based on Dialysis Adherence
Authors: CO* Ogolla , LW Karani , S Musyoki , P Maruti
Published: January 2025

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health issue, often progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD),
requiring dialysis. Anemia is a frequent complication of CKD, and hematocrit levels are used as an indicator of anemia severity.
However, the effect of dialysis adherence on hematocrit levels has not been well explored.
Objective: To examine variations in hematocrit levels in CKD patients based on adherence to dialysis treatment.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 120 CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Adherent patients attended at least
90% of prescribed dialysis sessions, while non-adherent patients attended less than 90%. Hematocrit levels were measured
through routine blood tests taken within one week prior to participation. Demographic data and dialysis adherence information
were gathered from patient records. Statistical analysis was performed using t-tests, Pearson’s correlation, and multivariable
linear regression to assess the relationship between dialysis adherence and hematocrit levels, controlling for confounders.
Results: Adherent patients had significantly higher hematocrit levels compared to non-adherent patients (mean = 34.5%
vs. 30%, p < 0.001). A strong positive correlation was found between adherence and hematocrit levels (r = 0.71, p < 0.001).
Multivariable analysis revealed dialysis adherence as an independent predictor of hematocrit levels (β = 0.63, p < 0.001) after
adjusting for age, gender, BMI, and comorbidities.
Conclusion: This study highlights a significant relationship between dialysis adherence and hematocrit levels in CKD patients.
Improving adherence to dialysis may help control anemia and enhance clinical outcomes in this population.

Introduction: Virtual reality documentation technology can help urban designers and architects reformulate heritage buildings, especially in Basra City. The purpose of the study was to introduce VR technology’s technological potential, as it allows the reviving of these buildings. The following methods were used: desktop analysis to analyse relevant studies regarding virtual reality documentation and its technologies. The study selected Basra Old Court as a case study. It also conducted two questionnaires that were distributed online, including a link to a virtual heritage platform (VHP). The first questionnaire was directed to a random sample of 20 architects and urban designers to determine the appropriate conservation policy for the case study, depending on their professional opinions. The other questionnaire was directed to (157) residents to justify the results. Moreover, the AutoCAD and Revit programs were used as digital documentation tools to document the case study, producing two VR models that represent two conservation policies (traditional and developmental policy). The data analysis showed that experts and residents preferred the VR model I of the heritage building to preserve its original form without additions. In conclusion, this approach can examine the selected conservation strategy for the heritage building before the implementation stage.

Published: January 2025

The learning method is one of the essential factors that influence the success of learning. To build good quality learning, choosing the right method is a crucial step. This study aims to identify differences in student learning achievement by applying two learning methods, project-based learning (PjBL) and guided inquiry (GI) in rectilinear motion and circular motion. The quasi-experimental method was used in this study. The participants were selected by cluster random sampling consisting of two classes (36 students and 35 students) from one of the Vocational Schools in Surakarta. Data collected through multiple-choice tests and interviews were analyzed in descriptive and inferential statistics using ANOVA and t-test. The results show that there is an influence of the learning method on student learning achievement in which both the PjBL and GI method. Students who learned rectilinear motion and circular motion using PjBL got higher scores than the GI method. The implication of this research is as a teacher's reference in choosing learning methods relevant to the rectilinear motion and circular motion and its implementation is expected to improve student learning achievement.

Multiperspectivity and Convergence in Transmedia Storytelling: A Practice-Oriented Exploration of Interactive Narratives
Authors:   Auckland University of Technology, Smith James , Mortensen Steagall Marcos
Published: January 2025

This practice-oriented design research project looks to explore the question: how might the creative use of multiperspective transmedia storytelling and interactive media foster convergence? In a context of increasing polarisation and partisan politics within contemporary society, it is essential to explore how media can foster multiplicity. This PhD research investigates how transmedia narratives, as conceptualised by Jenkins (2006) and Murray (2012), can be employed to create stories that encapsulate a multiplicity of voices and perspectives. The primary aim of this project is to understand how technology-driven storytelling methods can enable the coexistence of diverse narratives. This research has both ecological and cultural significance, taking as its point of departure a Pōhutukawa (myrtle) tree in Central Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand, which serves as the site of inquiry. The project explores and represents different narratives centred around this tree, utilising the tree itself as a metaphor for the potential of storytelling to foster multiperspectivity. The methodological approach is practice-oriented research, with the design researcher employing methods such as prototyping, lens-based media processes like photogrammetry, and filmmaking to gather data and create diverse narrative experiences about the site. This research contributes to the fields of transmedia design and interactive narrative studies by demonstrating how transmedia narratives can be designed to convey stories that integrate different perspectives, thus fostering a media environment that embraces multiplicity.
Wanderer: An aisthetic inquiry into the experience of exile.
Authors:   Auckland University of Technology, Shan Summer
Published: January 2025

This practice-led, artistic research project asks: If a sensory designer draws on a historical literary convention of the羁旅 (exile), how might she create fictional artefacts that speak to the experience of loss and disorientation experienced by a Chinese student studying overseas? The project tells the story of Jiang Xiazheng, and her experience of exile when living as a Chinese student overseas. At the center of the study is a fictional 旅行皮箱 (suitcase-portmanteau) that constitutes a repository of ephemera. This suitcase operates as a form of narrative portrait. Each artefact inside it is a fictional design (including the student’s passport, official documents, and assignments she submitted for assessment). In composite these relate a story of estrangement and eventual triumph. Jiang Xiazheng’s background narrative is available in a small bound notebook (on the shelf). On the table beside the suitcase is her final degree project. The suitcase has two layers. Please feel free to unpack and examine each artefact and return it to its original position. When you read, touch, smell and feel the objects, they will speak of an extraordinary experience in the language of aisthetic (sensory) design.
The Cost of Dying: A Te Ao Māori Perspective
Authors:   Auckland University of Technology, Mehana Sonia
Published: January 2025

Tangihanga often place significant financial pressure on families (Barlow, 1991; McNeill et al. 2022). According to Māori funeral director Francis Tipene, tangihanga (customary Māori funerals) costs can exceed NZD $8,000, prompting many Māori to reconsider traditional funeral practices (Te Ao Māori News, 2015). The disappearance of tangihanga would be yet another triumph for the colonial project. Cultural significance of tangihanga is the central focus of my research, driving my exploration of the intersection between Māori customs and environmental stewardship. Understanding the evolution of Māori economic development is paramount in comprehending how Māori can effectively participate in this industry. The adaptation of traditional practices, such as the incorporation of Western embalming techniques and conventional burial practices, poses complex challenges that intersect with deeply ingrained Māori values. Modern funeral practices contravene kaitiakitanga (duty of care to the environment). Urupā tautaiao (Māori natural burials) addresses this issue. However, affordability within the context of death is the key driver of my research. By embracing culturally responsive strategies and recognising the complexities of Māori economic resilience, we can support tangihanga sustainability. My presentation adopts a multifaceted approach: first, to understand the costs associated with death from a te ao Māori perspective, and second, to explore the entrepreneurial spirit within Māori communities to identify opportunities for Māori in grassroots businesses.
Ngā Mātāpuna me ngā Tikanga I tuku iho I te ao Māori – Māori principles of Inter-generational knowledge transmission
Authors:   Auckland University of Technology, Tipuna Wiremu , Mortensen Steagall Marcos
Published: January 2025

This presentation examines the critical role of tikanga (protocols and practices) and Mātāpuna (values) in the transmission of knowledge across generations within Māori communities. Key practices, such as whakawhanaungatanga (relationship building) and pepeha (a formal introduction model), serve as essential mechanisms for embedding and passing on cultural knowledge. A pepeha, far beyond a mere introduction, provides a detailed narrative of the individual’s connections to the whenua (land), maunga (mountains), moana (lakes), awa (rivers), and tai ao (environment), framing personal identity within a broader ancestral and geographical context. Whakawhanaungatanga plays a pivotal role in strengthening these relationships, particularly through engagement in traditional practices such as toitoi tuna, toi tuna, and hī tuna (eel fishing). These activities are significant not only for their cultural and environmental engagement but also as a means of reinforcing collective memory and continuity within the whānau (family) and community. Additionally, this presentation highlights the importance of waiata Māori (Māori songs) as a powerful vehicle for intergenerational knowledge transmission. Waiata carries embedded cultural values and narratives, linking individuals to their heritage, environment, and spiritual beliefs. By examining the use of waiata as a method for conveying cultural knowledge, this presentation will offer insights into the broader role of tikanga and Mātāpuna in maintaining and sustaining Māori knowledge systems. In doing so, the presentation aims to shed light on how these traditional practices and values continue to shape and preserve Māori identity and knowledge across generations.
On Tracing Extractive Urbanism Nexus in Chile’s Norte Chico
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso of Technology, Mercado Alvaro
Published: January 2025

In Chile, a new cycle of extractive urbanization is rapidly unfolding, creating complex material and immaterial entanglements between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Central to this transformation is the desalination of seawater, which is pumped up from the coast to the mountains, an operation that significantly reshapes both seascapes and landscapes. Although these changes remain largely invisible across terrestrial and maritime environments, they are propelled by the paradigm of the blue economy and sustainability discourses. These narratives, while advocating for economic and environmental balance, also ignite ecopolitical controversies concerning the exploitation and dispossession of critical resources such as minerals, freshwater, and seawater. This research traces the intricate network of actors and actants involved in the desalination process, which connects the coastal town of Los Vilos with the mining industry in the Andes of the Coquimbo Region. By examining these connections, the study offers an exploration of multi-scale and multi-species representations that are crucial for analysing and envisioning the future development of the operational architecture and infrastructure of extractivism. This infrastructure is not only altering the physical landscapes and seascapes of Norte Chico but is also raising important questions about the socio-environmental impact of such extractive practices. The contribution aims to provide insights into how these developments are reshaping the region and influencing broader discussions on sustainability and resource management.

Published: January 2025

The National Forest Inventory aims to provide current information on forest resources for planning, management, development, and maintenance purposes, as well as quantitative and qualitative data on forest resources. Although destructive sampling is the most accurate method for obtaining tree information, it requires substantial resources, is time-consuming, and labour-intensive. This study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) in extracting tree parameters in comparison to conventional methods. The results revealed a strong positive correlation between field-measured Diameter Breast Height (DBH) and manually extracted DBH from TLS point cloud data, with an r value of 1.0 and a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 1.48 cm. However, the relationship between field-measured height and manually extracted height from TLS point cloud exhibited a weak correlation, with an r value of 0.70 and an RMSE value of 7.9 m. In conclusion, TLS data has a significant impact on enhancing the management and monitoring of the inventory status of tropical forests in Malaysia.

Published: January 2025

This study evaluates the application of drone technology in the construction industry, particularly in the Sarawak vicinity. Using a quantitative methodology, data were collected via a survey targeting construction professionals. The findings indicate that a majority of respondents are familiar with drone technology, with engineers being the primary users. Drones are utilised across various construction stages for tasks such as monitoring and inspection, preventing project delays, mapping, and compliance with safety regulations. The study also highlights several challenges, including weather limitations, battery life, security concerns, and operational complexity. Despite these challenges, drones offer significant advantages such as ease of control, immediate inspection capabilities, high-quality data collection, and enhanced worker safety. 74% of respondents acknowledged the ease of drone deployment, 80% noted their flexibility, 92% appreciated their ability to capture high-quality images, and 86% valued remote site access. The research concludes that while drone technology is recognised and utilised in the construction industry, further efforts are needed to promote its broader adoption through training and budget allocation for drone management.
The Properties of Sustainable Fired Clay Bricks Incorporating Eggshell and Recycled Glass Waste
Authors:   School of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA,40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, Ahmad Nawawi Natasha
Published: January 2025

Fired clay bricks have been integral to construction for centuries, valued for their inherent strength and durability. However, the substantial energy demands and greenhouse gas emissions from the high-temperature brick firing process pose pressing environmental concerns. The scarcity of quality clay deposits for brickmaking has also raised fears of resource depletion. Eggshells, comprised of nearly 95% calcium carbonate, undergo a chemical transformation during firing that enhances compressive strength and reduces porosity in bricks. A recent study showed that using eggshell waste to replace clay in brick is positive. Meanwhile, soda lime silica, produced by recycling waste glass, forms a protective glaze-like coating on brick surfaces, lowering required firing temperatures and improving thermal insulation. Different eggshell powder concrete bricks were developed by replacing 0%,5%, and 10% in the clay and soda lime silica mixture to find the best composition of the brick with the desired properties. The enhanced performance of these bricks can be attributed to the inclusion of eggshells in the clay and soda lime silica mixture. As a result, the green approach conserves natural resources while meeting sustainability goals, charting a new course for environmentally responsible brick manufacturing. The findings highlight the potential of utilising eggshells to enhance the properties of clay bricks to improve their characteristic and mitigate waste reduction associated with the egg industry. The study suggests that incorporating eggshell waste into burned clay bricks improves properties and offers a sustainable approach to waste management. Compression and water absorption tests assess the brick's structural integrity and durability. The study output was positive, demonstrating incorporating soda lime silica and eggshell into brick formulations with weight ratios of 50/50 and 60/40 is effective. Compared to current bricks that are available on the market, these modified bricks exhibit enhanced sustainability and potentially improved material properties.

Authors:   Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450 UiTM Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, Abu Bakar Mimi Azlina
Published: January 2025

This research aimed to study the characteristics of silica which had been extracted from rice ash using two methods, i.e. alkaline and acid leaching. There were five types of solutions used; 1M and 2M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions, 1M and 2M potassium hydroxide (KOH) solutions, and a 1M hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. After the extraction process, the amount of silica was calculated and analyzed using FTIR and XRD. Based on FTIR analysis, the Si-O-Si group was found within the frequencies range of 782 cm−1 to 798 cm−1 while the Si-O group was found within the 3671 cm−1 to 3751 cm−1 range and the O-H group was found at 86.4541 cm−1. XRD showed crystallinity index results of 44.0%, 46.4%, 13.0% and 45.1% from the variations of KOH, (1M and 2M) and variations of NaOH (1M and 2M) respectively. The usage of 1M of HCL contributed to the optimum production of silica up to 8.1g with the percentage yield of silica was 40.5%.
An Investigation into the Lifespan of Brush DC Motor with Different Oil Properties
Authors:   Mechanical Engineering Studies, College of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Cawangan Pulau Pinang, Permatang Pauh Campus., Mohd Nasir Siti Shareeda
Published: January 2025

A DC motor is an electromechanical device that converts electrical energy to mechanical torque. DC motors are widely used in industry and electrical appliances such as adjustable seats and electric toothbrushes. However, DC motors have a short lifetime and applying lubricant is one of the solutions for this problem. This study aims to determine the properties of oil that are suitable for lubrication and compare the maximum speed, lifetime and final temperature of a DC motor after applying different lubricants and without applying any lubricants. Two different oils (Oil A and Oil B) with different properties were used in this experiment. Each motor in this experiment needed to be run and stopped for 3-minute intervals and repeating this cycle until the motor’s RPM was dropped. The results show that both oils have the same density, that is 840 kg/m3 but the viscosity of the oil is different that is, 2.081×10-5 m2/s for oil B compared to 2.497×10-5 m2/s for oil A by using a 1.590 mm diameter steel ball. This experiment also shows that by applying lubricant, it increases the maximum speed and the lifespan of the DC motor. The lifespan for the DC motor with oil B to maintain its maximum speed of 28500 RPM is longer, which is 13 cycles, or about 39 minutes, while the DC motor with oil A could maintain its maximum speed of 27500 RPM for only 12 cycles, or 36 minutes. Therefore, the motor with lubricant that has a lower viscosity (Oil B) gives a better result than the motor with a higher viscosity lubricant (Oil A) in terms of maximum speed, lifetime and the rise of the DC motor temperature is between 37.7°C and 39.5°C not exceeding 40°C.

Penggunaan sistem lektotronik sendiri berupa E-Court, Elitigasi dan Teleconference. 2) Pengaruh yang di rasakan Pengadilan Agama Kelas 1A Makassar pada masa pandemi Covid-19 itu, tentunya ada beberapa seperti sistem kerja, yang jika dulunya full time di kantor namun setelah ada covid-19 diberlakukan sistem work from home, namun tidak berlansung lama karena ada beberapa hal yang dirasa kurang efetif dari sistem WFH ini. Dalam persidangan sendiri pengaruhnya jika persidangan yang dilakukan dulunya secara manual namun setelah ada Pandemi Covid-19 persidangan bisa saja  dilakukan secara teknologi, dan hal ini tentunya tidak maksimal dikarenakan pengguna lain yaitu masyarakat yang masih banyak kurang paham dalam penggunaan Teknologi, selain itu juga pelaksanaan persidangan bisa dibilang relative tertutup karena akses untuk mengikuti jalannya persidangan secara elektornik hanya diperuntuk bagi para pihak yang berperkara dan belum terbuka untuk diakses oleh publik.
