The challenges associated with a ketogenic diet: a narrative review
Authors: Qi Xin , Tester Richard
Published: January 2025

The so-called ‘ketogenic diet’ aimed to limit energy derived from carbohydrates, has many variations which cause confusion in the literature and beyond. For ‘intractable’ epilepsy (when seizures cannot be managed completely by drug therapy, also referred to as ‘refractory’, ‘uncontrolled’ or ‘drug-resistant’ epilepsy) the dietary fat to carbohydrate plus protein ratio is held at a ratio of 4:1 or 3:1. Thus promoting fat metabolism to ketone bodies as a primary energy source. This intervention limits glucose availability and consequently neural ‘excitability’ and seizures. Overall, the diet is high-fat, low-carbohydrate, and restricted protein in design. This generally accepted clinical approach (which is based on essentially fasting, historically) was applied and recorded back to the 1920s (for a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis). That observation (and others) initiated the diet applications for epilepsy and thereafter (or perhaps in parallel with) for both (i) weight management (especially the ‘Atkin’s diet) and (ii) enhanced sport performance. Products for weight loss tend to be high-fat but not in the ratios anticipated for seizure management, where, perhaps, brands have been developed that are more cognisant of consumer demands for desirable sensory characteristics than specific nutrient ratios. Whilst ketogenic type diets have been discussed in the context of different applications within the literature, the challenges associated with making and utilising ketogenic products for different applications/needs (with associated compliance) tend not to be addressed. This review addresses some of the challenges associated with creating and consuming ketogenic products, especially for seizure management, which restrict and control energy derived from carbohydrates. It aims to contextualise the issues faced with making and consuming this type of diet with significance generally to individuals interested in this approach to dietary energy regulation, most especially health professionals and people involved in sport nutrition.

Published: January 2025

Consumer satisfaction is an important aspect for a company to be able to maintain its image to the wider community for the sake of its business sustainability. This needs to start by providing the best quality from physical and non-physical aspects which will then create a separate experience in the minds of consumers in experiencing the product. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of brand image, product quality, and service quality on consumer satisfaction of Mie Gacoan in the people of Medan City. This type of research is quantitative. The sample measurement used the Lemeshow formula and a sample of 96 respondents was obtained. The data processing process was carried out by taking data from a google form questionnaire and then analyzed using SEM techniques in the SmartPLS 3.0 application. The results obtained from this study show that: Brand image variables have no effect and are not significant to consumer satisfaction. The product quality variable has a positive and significant effect on consumer satisfaction. And the service quality variable has a positive and significant effect on consumer satisfaction. For better business development, companies must be active in providing their best strategies and pay attention to consumer desires to create consumer satisfaction for their products.

Tyrimo tikslas. Nustatyti vaisiaus būklės vertinimo gimdymo metu skirtingų tyrėjų sutariamumą (angl. interobserver agreement) pagal pasirinktus KTG parametrus naudojant FIGO 2015 m. adaptuotas KTG vertinimo gaires. Tyrimo metodai. Retrospektyvusis kohortinis tyrimas dviejuose didžiuosiuose Lietuvos gimdymo stacionaruose. Atsitiktiniu būdu atrinktos gimdymo istorijos, kai gimdymas vyko galvos pirmeiga esant mekonijumi užterštiems vaisiaus vandenims išnešioto vienvaisio nėštumo atveju. Pagal atrinktus kriterijus 84 KTG gimdymo metu vertino šeši skirtingą klinikinę patirtį turintys tyrėjai, sutariamumas nustatytas skaičiuojant kapa ir intraklasinį koreliacijos koeficientus. Rezultatai. Geras arba vidutinis tyrėjų sutariamumas nustatytas daugumai KTG parametrų (varialibiškumas, deceleracijų buvimas, bradikardija, sumažėjęs variabiliškumas su tachikardija bei bendra deceleracijų trukmė). Akseleracijų vertinimas pasižymėjo vidutiniu sutariamumu (kapa koeficientas 0,29–0,47). Deceleracijų tipo ir formos vertinimas pasižymėjo mažiausiu sutariamumu (kapa koeficientas 0,12–0,23). Didesnę nei 10 metų patirtį turinčių tyrėjų vertinimai pasižymėjo geresniu sutariamumu, palyginti su tyrėjų grupe, kurią sudarė mažiau nei trejų metų patirtį turintys jauni gydytojai ir gydytojas, turintis daugiau nei 10 metų patirtį. Kardiotokogramų skirstymas į atskiras kategorijas taip pat turėjo žemą arba tik vidutinį sutariamumą tarp tyrėjų (Fleis kapa – 0,19–0,44). Geriausias sutarimas buvo pasiektas, vertinant suminę deceleracijos trukmę (intraklasinio koreliacijos koeficiento vertė, apskaičiuojant deceleracijų suminę trukmę, buvo 0,48–0,80). Išvada. Pagrindiniai KTG parametrai – bazinis dažnis, variabiliškumas, deceleracijų buvimas, suminė deceleracijų trukmė – tai KTG požymiai, kuriuos po tinkamo apmokymo, netgi neturint klinikinės patirties, interpretuoti galima gana objektyviai ir dideliu sutariamumu. KTG skirstymas į atskiras kategorijas (normali, abejotina ir patolologinė) turi mažą arba vidutinį sutariamumo lygį, todėl būtų tikslinga atsisakyti šių kategorijų ir, vertinant KTG, sprendimus priimti pagal labiau objektyvius ir didelį sutariamumą turinčius požymius (bazinį dažnį, variabiliškumą, bradikardiją, deceleracijų buvimą (yra ar nėra) ir deceleracijų suminę trukmę per 30 min.).
Operating activities of cryptocurrency exchanges and specifics of their accounting
Authors: DIAK Oleh
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the operational activities of cryptocurrency exchanges and the distinctive challenges associated with their accounting practices. Unlike traditional exchanges, cryptocurrency exchanges operate within a decentralized and highly volatile environment, which presents unique accounting and regulatory challenges. The paper explores various operational aspects of these exchanges, such as spot and margin trading, deposits and withdrawals, commission structures, liquidity management, and wallet services. Additionally, it analyzes the practices related to staking and lending services, highlighting the specific accounting issues faced in revenue recognition, asset valuation, and compliance with evolving regulatory requirements. Given the absence of uniform international accounting standards for digital assets, cryptocurrency exchanges must address several critical accounting issues. These include accurate revenue recognition from transactions, handling of client assets, and establishing robust security measures to protect client funds. The study discusses the implications of accounting for transaction fees and staking rewards, emphasizing the need for reliable revenue recognition methods aligned with existing accounting standards while also accommodating price volatility in digital assets. Furthermore, the paper addresses the unique nature of cryptocurrencies as intangible assets that require special handling in financial reporting. It examines the implications of recording cryptocurrencies held on behalf of clients versus those owned by the exchange, considering the regulatory uncertainties and market volatility inherent in this sector. The discussion extends to compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, which add to the operational and accounting complexities faced by these platforms. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of developing new accounting frameworks and standards tailored to the unique characteristics of cryptocurrency exchanges. Such frameworks would support more accurate financial reporting, enhance user trust, and ensure regulatory compliance in a rapidly evolving financial landscape. The findings of this study provide practical recommendations for adapting existing accounting standards to meet the operational needs of cryptocurrency exchanges and underline the role of robust internal controls in mitigating risks associated with decentralized digital finance.
The principle of the bindingness of Constitutional court decisions and its compliance by the supreme council of Ukraine
Authors: ZAVIALOV Yehor , KVASYLCHUK Dmytro , MATSAK Oleksandr
Published: January 2025

The main regulatory legal act that contains all the defining human rights is the Constitution of Ukraine, which is essentially the guarantor of these rights and the democratic course of our country. The Constitution contains many mechanisms that allow protecting and guaranteeing the inviolability of the person. An example is Art. 64 of the Constitution of Ukraine, which provides a clear list of human rights and freedoms that cannot be limited even in conditions of emergency or martial law.
An additional safeguard is the provisions of the Fundamental Law that regulate the activities of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, one of the main guarantors of compliance with the Constitution. The decisions made by this special court are binding and cannot be appealed. However, in practice, there are cases when the legislator neglects these principles and reintroduces regulatory legal acts that have already been recognized as unconstitutional.
This paper analyzes in detail the main decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, which interpret in detail the principle of binding nature of the decision of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. These decisions describe in detail that situations will be unacceptable when the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, as the sole legislative body, will re-introduce laws that have already lost force, or regulatory legal acts similar to such laws.
The paper provides clear examples when the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, despite the current decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, introduced regulatory legal acts that have already lost force.
The paper also develops positions and conclusions that will help to avoid such unlawful actions of the legislator in the future and provides a clear algorithm of actions that should be taken with already adopted, presumably unconstitutional laws.
Right Ovarian Cyst And It’s Clinical Significance In Surgery: A Case Report
Authors: Wader Dr. Smitaraje D.
Published: January 2025

Ovaries are paired female internal reproductive organs located in ovarian fossa. Each ovary is oval-shaped, measuring approximately 4 cm in length and 2 cm in width. One end is oriented medially toward the uterus, while the other points laterally toward the fimbriated end of the uterine tube. Each ovary is attached to the broad ligament by mesovarium, a posterior extension of the broad ligament which conveys the ovarian vessels.

Ovaries are the sites for oogenesis. Ovarian cysts often develop due to normal hormonal changes in puberty or during menopause. Follicular cysts are common and originate in unruptured graafian follicles; rarely exceed 1.5cm in diameter. Luteal cysts are formed in the corpus luteum & they rarely exceed 3cm in diameter. Fluid retention prevents the corpus luteum from becoming fibrosed. While most cysts resolve on their own, some may persist. It is estimated that approximately 10 out of 100 women develop ovarian cysts.

Ovarian cysts are leading cause of infertility. The majority of ovarian cysts are benign, particularly those presenting with acute pain, pain may occur because of cyst torsion, cyst rupture, or bleeding into the cyst. Management depends on the presenting clinical situation and may requires urgent surgical intervention.

Published: January 2025

This article examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on students' ability to work independently in online university courses. With the growing integration of AI tools in higher education, concerns have emerged regarding their influence on students' self-reliance in completing academic tasks. A survey of students at Central University of Ecuador was conducted to assess the use of AI tools and their perspectives on academic autonomy. The study employs both quantitative and qualitative methods to explore how AI can enhance personalized learning experiences, while also potentially fostering over-reliance, which may impair students' abilities to independently write and solve problems. Initial findings suggest a correlation between heavy dependence on AI and diminished confidence in task completion without technological aid. Preliminary results also indicate that while AI can enhance inclusivity and accessibility in education, it may simultaneously contribute to increased anxiety and social isolation.

Las matemáticas, son una disciplina abstracta en la cual se deben de buscar alternativas pedagógicas que puedan permear en los alumnos de la tercera década del siglo XXI buscan tener información rápida y precisa, sin largos temas introductorios o explicaciones que no encajen en la forma de como percibir datos, y eso deberá incluir al material didáctico para ser innovador, debe de fluir de manera rápida y precisa, para ellos, si en los primeros minutos no son atraídos por algún tema en particular, no lo consideran importante. Los video juegos que en algún momento se consideraron como un distractor, ahora serán útiles como un modelo de ejemplo, donde al generar entidades 3D trabajan exclusivamente con leyes matemáticas precisas, y despertar la pregunta: “cómo funciona todo esto?!” (C. Sagan, 1980-1981), y así explorar para la realización de dinámicas, ponencias, materiales didácticos. La manera en que las plataformas exponen de manera dinámica y en tiempo real abre la oportunidad para la exposición y debate de leyes matemáticas, y el maestro podrá exponer en función de cómo reaccionen los alumnos (Vigostky, I. 1981), combatiendo el bajo índice de atención, debatiendo la utilidad a largo plazo, que es el principal motivo por el cual pierden el interés en diversas carreras profesionales.

Published: January 2025

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo identificar la relación entre la comunicación gubernamental digital y la percepción ciudadana del valor público de las gestiones gubernamentales provinciales de Ica - 2024. Se empleó un enfoque cuantitativo, utilizando un diseño de investigación básica y se aplicó un cuestionario. Los resultados revelaron una correlación positiva media entre la comunicación gubernamental digital y la percepción del valor público, con un coeficiente de correlación de 0.416. Esto sugiere que una mejora en la comunicación digital puede influir en la percepción ciudadana sobre la efectividad de las gestiones gubernamentales. Sin embargo, se observó que solo un 18% de la población confía plenamente en las entidades públicas, lo que indica un desafío significativo. En conclusión, aunque la comunicación gubernamental digital tiene un impacto en la percepción del valor público, su efecto es limitado. Es fundamental que las autoridades implementen estrategias de comunicación más efectivas y mejoren la calidad de los servicios para aumentar la confianza y satisfacción de los ciudadanos.

Published: January 2025

The operational variables of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) such as cell temperature, hydrogen gas pressures, and oxygen gas pressures are highly effect on the power generation from the PEMFC. Therefore, the Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) should be used to increase the efficiency of PEMFC at different operational variables. Unfortunately, the majority of conventional MPPT algorithms will cause PEMFC damage and power loss by producing steady-state oscillations. This paper focuses on enhancing the efficiency of the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell through the utilization of advanced control methods: Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), GWO with a PID controller and perturbation and observation (P&O) techniques. The objective is to effectively manage power output by pinpointing the maximum power point and reducing stable oscillations. The study evaluates these methods in swiftly changing operational scenarios and compares their performances. The obtained results show that the GWO with a PID controller increase generation power.

Published: January 2025

The Manado Diocese Catholic Church implements a Church financial management system within the framework of transparent, objective and responsible financial management. In this context, it is necessary to involve lay pastoral staff who are considered capable and competent and have a high spirituality of service in order to realize the pastoral works of the Manado Diocese Church. This research aims to examine the phenomenon of the influence of accountability in parish financial management and the spirituality of pastoral servants in the context of achieving pastoral work. This research was conducted in all churches or parishes in the Kevikepan Tomohon area by taking 95 samples from 133 populations. The research method used is a quantitative research method with a survey approach.  Through this method, researchers want to test hypotheses and at the same time explain the relationship between variables. The data analysis process uses the application of correlation statistics and multiple regression test to analyze the influence between variables and measure the level of relationship between each variable studied. The research results show that: First, there is a significant and linear influence between Financial Management Accountability and Pastoral Work Achievement, meaning that if Financial Management Accountability is implemented well and appropriately it will increase Pastoral Work Achievement in the Tomohon Kevikepan Parishes. Second, there is a relationship between the Spirituality of Pastoral Servants and the Achievement of Pastoral Work. This means that if the Spirituality of Pastoral Servants is interpreted well and effectively, then this will have the effect of increasing the Achievement of Pastoral Work in Tomohon Kevikepan Parishes. Third, the results of hypothesis testing and multiple correlation and multiple regression analysis prove that there is an influence between Financial Management Accountability and Pastoral Servant Spirituality together on Pastoral Work Achievement. Furthermore, it can be concluded that an accountable financial management model supported by the spirituality of pastoral servants can increase the achievement of pastoral work in parishes.

efectos del trauma complejo en las facultades vegetativas de niños en edad escolar
Authors: Aguayo Silva María José
Published: January 2025

El trauma psíquico es un fenómeno de gran relevancia en psicología. El metamodelo de la Psicología Integral de la Persona ha ido aportando desde la antropología aristotélico-tomista a la comprensión del trauma desde las facultades racionales y sensitivas. Sin embargo, es fundamental poner el foco también en las facultades vegetativas, encargadas de las operaciones básicas para la sobrevivencia del individuo y la especie (nutrición, reproducción y crecimiento) y de mantener el equilibrio interno del cuerpo (homeostasis). Específicamente, se hace necesario conocer el impacto que se genera a nivel de las facultades vegetativas cuando se viven múltiples traumas (trauma complejo). Esto es esencial en el caso de niños, debido a que existe una mayor vulnerabilidad biológica en esta etapa. En el presente trabajo se identifican los efectos del trauma complejo en las facultades vegetativas de niños en edad escolar. Tras el trauma existe una desregulación en los sistemas biológicos del estrés, lo cual afecta al eje hipotalámico-hipofisario-adrenal, produciendo una alteración en la homeostasis; al mismo tiempo, genera una respuesta del sistema nervioso autónomo parasimpático de congelamiento, como parte del complejo vagal dorsal. Eso trae como consecuencia sintomatología desadaptativa que, desde un desajuste a nivel vegetativo, repercute en todas las dimensiones del ser humano, afectando su desarrollo óptimo. Debido a la interrelación que existe entre las facultades y a la visión hilemórfica planteada por Aristóteles, se debe visualizar el gran impacto que tiene el desajuste del nivel vegetativo en el resto de las facultades, tomando como punto de partida del análisis a las facultades inferiores afectadas.
Leveraging artificial intelligence as a learning tool in higher education
Authors: Maphalala Mncedisi Christian , Ajani Oluwatoyin Ayodele
Published: January 2025

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in education has gained significant attention, particularly in the context of higher education, in recent years. Despite concerns about academic integrity, academics recognise the opportunity for AI to foster critical thinking and prepare students for real-world scenarios. However, its integration into courses requires careful consideration of course objectives and ethical implications. This study explores the utilisation of AI in higher education settings, focusing on its role as a learning tool. The study systematically reviewed 87 empirical studies from databases between 2014 and 2024 to investigate the benefits, challenges, and implications of incorporating AI into higher education. Additionally, it examines the potential impact of AI on teaching methodologies, student outcomes, and the overall learning experience. The findings of this study underscore the significant influence of AI integration in higher education on teaching methodologies. This integration promotes personalised and adaptive instruction, enhancing student engagement, performance, satisfaction, and overall learning experiences. However, the adoption of AI in higher education raises significant ethical concerns that demand careful consideration. These concerns include data privacy, algorithmic bias, intellectual property rights, and academic integrity. Academics' perspectives on AI adoption vary based on technological proficiency, pedagogical beliefs, and institutional support. Successful AI integration necessitates alignment with pedagogical theories such as constructivism, connectivism, and self-directed learning, ensuring a robust technical infrastructure and addressing ethical considerations to maximise benefits while minimising risks.

Published: January 2025

This study investigated the challenges faced by Grade 10 learners in English First Additional Language (EFAL) reading comprehension at a high school in Soshanguve Township, South Africa. Using a quantitative approach with a questionnaire survey design, the research aimed to identify specific challenges experienced by learners in comprehending English texts. A sample of a 105 Grade 10 EFAL learners participated in the study. Data was collected through a learner questionnaire using a Likert scale and analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that a significant proportion of learners struggled with various aspects of reading comprehension, including understanding complex sentences, identifying main ideas, dealing with unfamiliar vocabulary, and comprehending cultural references. Challenges were also noted in drawing inferences, interpreting figurative language, and synthesizing information from different parts of a text. The study highlighted the need for targeted interventions to address these challenges, including explicit instruction in reading comprehension strategies, vocabulary development, and exposure to diverse texts. The research contributes to the understanding of reading comprehension challenges in the South African EFAL context and provides insight for stakeholders within the education fraternity as to how to develop effective strategies for improving learners’ reading comprehension skills.

To prepare for the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time, we develop methods for quantifying the selection function of a wide-field survey as a function of all six orbital parameters and absolute magnitude. We perform a HelioLinC3D search for Centaurs in the Pan-STARRS1 detection catalog and use a synthetic debiasing population to characterize our survey's selection function. We find nine new objects, including Centaur 2010 RJ226, among 320 real objects, along with  ∼70,000 debiasing objects. We use the debiasing population to fit a selection function and apply the selection function to a model Centaur population with orbital and size distributions from the literature. We confirm the model's marginal distributions but reject its joint distribution, and estimate an intrinsic population of 21,400

The discovery of only nine new objects in archival data verifies that the Pan-STARRS discovery pipeline had high completeness, but also shows that new linking algorithms can contribute even to traditional single-tracklet surveys. As the first systematic application of HelioLinC3D to a survey with extensive sky coverage, this project proves the viability of HelioLinC3D as a discovery algorithm for big-data wide-field surveys.
Nongravitational Forces in Planetary Systems
Authors: Jewitt David
Published: January 2025

Nongravitational forces play surprising and, sometimes, centrally important roles in shaping the motions and properties of small planetary bodies. In the solar system, the morphologies of comets, the delivery of meteorites, and the shapes and dynamics of asteroids and binaries are all affected by nongravitational forces. In exoplanetary systems and debris disks, nongravitational forces affect the lifetimes of circumstellar particles and feed refractory debris to the photospheres of the central stars. Unlike the gravitational force, which is a simple function of the well-known separations and masses of bodies, the nongravitational forces are frequently functions of poorly known or even unmeasurable physical properties. Here, we present order-of-magnitude descriptions of nongravitational forces, with examples of their application.
Ornithischian dinosaurs in Southeast Asia: a review with palaeobiogeographic implications

Ornithischian dinosaurs have been discovered in Thailand, Laos, and Malaysia. These bird-hipped herbivores remain relatively rare by comparison with saurischian dinosaurs. In the Late Jurassic, stegosaurs and basal neornithischians from Thailand showed similarities to Middle-Late Jurassic taxa from China. Ornithischians appeared in the fossil record again during the late Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) of Thailand and Laos. They are represented by non-hadrosaurid iguanodontians and basal ceratopsians. A few specimens have been reported from poorly dated Early Cretaceous rocks of Malaysia. Here, we illustrate the diversity of ornithischian assemblages in Southeast Asia and discuss their palaeobiogeographical implications.
On Ossirarus kierani, a stem tetrapod from the Tournaisian of Burnmouth, Berwickshire, Scotland, and the phylogeny of early tetrapods

Recent discoveries in the Scottish Borders have greatly expanded our knowledge of post-Devonian tetrapods. Six new taxa have been named and briefly described so far. One of these, Ossirarus kierani, is represented by a single specimen from the coastal section of the Tournaisian Ballagan Formation at Burnmouth. It comprises the disarticulated bones of the posterior half of the skull, the anterior portion of the axial skeleton, and parts of the pectoral girdle and forelimbs. It is relatively small, with an estimated skull length of 54 mm. Like some Devonian tetrapods it has a preopercular and a lateral line system represented by pores. It shares with embolomeres, a tabular-parietal suture, an intertemporal and a long tabular horn. The gastrocentrous vertebrae resemble those of Caerorhachis and the brachial foramen pierces the humerus through the posterior edge, as in Mesanerpeton. Phylogenetic analyses place Ossirarus on the tetrapod stem, crownward of some – but not all – Devonian taxa. The topology of the tetrapod stem suggests that numerous lineages of Carboniferous tetrapods extended back into the Devonian.
Les dangers démocratiques de la connexion numérique

La technique n’est ni positive, ni négative, ni neutre : elle est ambivalente. Toutes les techniques, de l’écriture au nucléaire en passant par le moteur à explosion ont des avantages et des inconvénients. Les outils numériques n’échappent pas à cette ambivalence. Ils favorisent une connexion instantanée à distance et permettent de lutter efficacement contre la non communication, mais ils augmentent l’incommunication car ils ne permettent pas de prendre le temps de la distance critique. De plus, l’emprise des multinationales sur les outils numériques est dangereuse car elle crée une servitude numérique où la cession de nos données personnelles et la multiplication des algorithmes restreignent notre autonomie. Or, la démocratie est justement autonomie – auto (soi-même) et nomos (la norme, la loi). Pour renforcer une démocratie mal en point il convient donc de faire l’effort de reconquérir notre autonomie en apprenant à nous déconnecter. La participation politique passe par la déconnexion numérique.
Défendre le petit commerce. Une analyse localisée des modes d’engagement dans l’action collective
Authors: Cadiou Stéphane
Published: January 2025

Les petit·es commerçant·es sont réputé·es être protestataires. Cet article propose une autre vision en s’intéressant aux modes d’engagement dans l’action collective à l’échelle locale. Il donne à voir des comportements revendicatifs à la fois diversifiés et éloignés de la figure de l’activiste. À travers l’étude d’un espace urbain, cet article dégage deux types d’engagement qui renvoient à des profils socioprofessionnels contrastés. Enfin, l’article analyse le poids de la dimension spatiale dans l’action collective professionnelle.
Generation Z, Circular Fashion, and Sustainable Marketing

Published: January 2025

This study explores Generation Z's perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors regarding sustainable fashion, focusing on the contradiction between their environmental awareness and consumption patterns. Using a mixed-method approach that includes a literature review and surveys of young consumers, the research aims to understand the motivations and barriers they face when considering sustainable fashion options. The key finding reveals that, despite high levels of environmental and ethical awareness, Generation Z continues to prefer fast fashion, primarily due to its affordability and the constant influx of new trends. The premium pricing associated with sustainable fashion is identified as a significant barrier to its adoption within this demographic. The study concludes by recommending that the fashion industry and policymakers enhance transparency, affordability, and authenticity in their practices. By positioning sustainability as a core brand value and addressing perceptions of greenwashing, the industry can foster more responsible consumption patterns among younger generations.
