Effect of window openings on indoor air quality and CO₂ concentration in classrooms: A Case Study of Primary School, Dhaka
Authors: Farhana Ahmed  , Sarder Mohammad Hafijur Rahman
Published: January 2025

Abstract. This study investigates the impact of window openings on indoor air quality (IAQ) and CO₂ levels in school classrooms in Dhaka, focusing on natural ventilation strategies to improve the learning environment. The importance of effective window design in controlling CO₂ concentrations and enhancing ventilation is critical, particularly in tropical climates like Dhaka's, where indoor air quality is often compromised due to inadequate ventilation. The study aims to explore the effect of window size and ventilation on CO₂ levels, comparing classrooms with different window configurations to identify the best strategies for improving IAQ. Over a period of two measurement campaigns, the study monitored CO₂ levels, indoor temperature, and relative humidity in two elementary schools, revealing that limited window openings, particularly when windows were 75% closed, resulted in significantly higher CO₂ concentrations. The analysis showed a direct correlation between reduced ventilation and increased CO₂ levels, with concentrations peaking at 2560 ppm, well above the recommended threshold of 1000 ppm. Factors like room design, occupancy density, and window placement contributed to variations in CO₂ levels across classrooms. The study emphasizes the need for optimized window openings to promote natural ventilation and reduce CO₂ concentrations, suggesting that opening windows beyond 50% can significantly improve IAQ. Regular monitoring, maintenance, and the implementation of effective ventilation strategies are essential to maintaining healthy indoor air quality in schools, ensuring a conducive learning environment for students. This research highlights the critical role of building design and ventilation systems in enhancing IAQ in educational settings.

Published: January 2025

Pavement deterioration owing to rutting, fatigue, and stripping provides substantial issues, needing early rehabilitation to avoid accidents and delays. Given the high costs of pavement repair and reconstruction, the use of additives to extend pavement life emerges as an economically viable approach. While previous initiatives have used admixtures such crumb rubber, cement, and geosynthetics to improve asphalt binder qualities, this research focuses on improving stripping, rutting, fatigue resistance, and viscosity by incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Methanol was used as a solvent in the present research to ensure uniform dispersion of CNTs, resolving a recurring issue. Mixing was ensured effectively by using a high-shear mixer that functioned for 40–45 minutes at 300–4800 rpm. To figure out how CNTs affected the performance of asphalt binder, various ratios of 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, and 1.2% were investigated. The use of carbon black nanoparticles (CBNPs), graphene nanoparticles (GNPs), and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as bitumen modifiers shows potential for improving the quality of asphalt binder. MWCNTs' excellent tensile strength and heat resistance make them ideal for transportation engineering applications. However, challenges exist in CNT preparation, economic implications, and attaining homogenous dispersion in bitumen. The investigation involves the creation of nine modified bitumen samples utilizing both wet and dry mixing procedures. The findings demonstrate that GNPs have a significant potential to improve bitumen stiffness properties. Furthermore, a higher percentage of nanocomposite resulted in reduced penetration, softening point, and ductility values, enhancing bitumen stiffness and resistance to rutting. Despite promising results, challenges regarding CNT preparation, cost-effectiveness, and uniform dispersion in bitumen indicate the need for additional research and development in this area.

This article approaches mental retardation, social representations and Hollywood cinema, in the movie Forrest Gump. The main goal is the analysis of individual elements that reveal either a new, more human-centered management of the subject or remnants of conventions and prejudices that remain in relation to mental retardation in works of artistic texture that have the potential to dialogue with almost the entire Western world. In the movie there is a clear tendency to escape from the medical view of mental retardation and a greater interest in its social ramifications. The protagonist is a real 'hero' of the society in which he lives and, despite any adversity, always emerges victorious.
Study on the chemical composition of gluten-free cereal bars and application of the calculation method for assessing the glycemic index and glycemic load
Authors: Budova A. V. , Urubkov S. A. , Smirnov S. O.
Published: January 2025

When developing food products for children, along with the balanced composition in terms of macro- and micronutrients, the presence of biologically active minor components, a large role is played by the indicators of digestion, absorption and assimilation of nutrients. Glycemic index (GI), as well as glycemic load (GL), which represents the value of GI actual impact taking into account the portion of the product and the content of carbohydrates in it are such indicators. The aim of the study is to study the chemical composition of the gluten-free cereal bars “Morkovnyj” and “Yagodnyj” developed on the basis of expanded grain as well as to determine the GI and GL values. Standard methods were used to study the chemical composition, and a calculation method was used to assess the GI and GL, taking into account the content of essential nutrients in the product, as well as their ability to influence the GI values. It has been established that the protein content in the studied bars averages 5.4 g/100 g of product, and the dietary fiber content ranges from 10.2 g/100 g to 11.9 g/100 g, mainly represented by soluble dietary fiber, which accounts for up to 86.3 %. Carbohydrates are mainly represented by starch - an average of 65.9 % of the total content. The content of mono- and disaccharides averages 17.5 %, of which 50.5 % is glucose. Average glycemic index values of the developed bars are 63 and 64, average glycemic load values of a 30 g portion are 13.6 and 14.3, respectively, despite the fact that in their composition expanded grain accounts up to 62 %, and starch syrup up to 39.6 %. This is probably due to the presence of protein and dietary fiber sources in the recipe, which reduce the degree of absorption of carbohydrates, which is taken into account in the used method of calculating GI and GL. Thus, the obtained data indicate that the gluten-free cereal bars based on expanded grain for children nutrition, intended as a safe snack, are capable of sating the body quickly and for a relatively long time and restoring energy reserves. Adding mandatory labeling with GI and GN values will allow consumers to take a more informed approach to choosing food products, which is especially important for children with dietary restrictions.

The purpose of this study was to determine the improvement of students' attitude aspects after taking project-based Citizenship Education courses. Citizenship Education aims to form good citizens and have ideal young citizen skills. As a form of improving the skills of young citizens with education in a formal environment, it has a greater impact on the internalization of values. This study uses a quasi-experimental research type (quasi-experimental design). This study uses a quasi-experimental design without a control or comparison class. The experimental design used is one group pre-test-post-test. The results of the study show that project-based learning can improve attitudes towards Tidar values. These values are in the form of tough, integrative, dedicated, active, and responsive values. Students' responses to project-based learning are easy and they really like the learning that is carried out. However, the improvement in attitudes towards Tidar values has not been maximized in all indicators, especially in tough and active values. In order to be able to increase all values to the maximum, a more comprehensive project learning evaluation needs to be carried out.

Authors: Mawan I Gede , Kusuma Putu Sandra Devindriati
Published: January 2025

Gamelan Mandolin is a type of traditional Balinese music that is played by plucking. The Mandolin gamelan, which is thought to have originated from China, is still preserved by the people of Pupuan Village, Tabanan. One form of application of creativity and innovation in the world of music is in the development of the mandolin gamelan. Gamelan mandolin is a form of musical experiment that combines Balinese gamelan instruments with the mandolin, a musical instrument originating from China. In the creation process, the mandolin gamelan presents new challenges in terms of playing techniques, harmony and timbre which are different from gamelan in general. This article aims to examine the creativity of musicians in designing and processing gamelan mandolin instruments, as well as how these innovations have had an impact on the development of traditional and contemporary Balinese music. Using a composition and performance analysis approach, this research shows that the mandolin gamelan is not just a musical experiment, but also a means of enriching the Indonesian musical repertoire through mixing different cultural elements. Through creativity and innovation in the development of the mandolin gamelan, space is created for the evolution of traditional music that remains relevant amidst global musical developments.
Tradition of Using Urochlivye Kamni “Jinx Stones”in the Kologrivsky District of the Kostroma Region
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kuchko Valeria
Published: January 2025

The article presents the latest field materials of the Toponymic expedition of the Ural University to the Kologrivsky district of the Kostroma region, collected in July-August 2024 and concerning the practices of using small stones or mineraloids such as belemnites and fulgurites (qualified by folk tradition as stones) for magical and folk medical purposes. In addition to the Toponymic Expedition’s card index, the material was also extracted from lexicographic and ethnographic sources describing Kostroma or other Russian traditional practices. The examined stones, which have a remarkable appearance (bizarre shapes, noticeable patterns, through holes, etc.), are called in this area urochlivye or urochnye kamni, “jinx stones”. The article offers a semantic analysis of this name, gives its linguistic and geographical characteristics, presents parallel names of similar stones existing in the same territory (these are uryadik, shulets-palets, urodlivyi kamen', chortov palets, names for stones with a through hole – glaz, kurinyi glaz, kurinyi kamen', kurii bog). The functions in which they are used are described: as a magical remedy for the treatment of severe crying in infants, as a talisman against the evil eye in older children and adults, as a remedy for diseases, as a talisman for poultry, which was hung in a chicken coop (“kurinyi bog”), finally, as an attribute of children’s games. The article touches upon the issues of the symbolism of these stones, their functioning in the local and all-Russian cultural context of the use or veneration of various kinds of stones, the natural reasons for the activity of this tradition in the Kostroma region.
Review on the Book: “Ilija Garašanin (1812–1874) – the Great Son of Serbian Land”[Rev.] Ilija Garašanin (1812–1874) – the Great Son of Serbian Land / ed. by S. Raić. Arandjelovac: National Museum in Arandjelovac, 2024. 604 p. ISBN 978-86-88927-26-0
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Radović Daniel
Published: January 2025

This work is a review of the monograph “Ilija Garašanin (1812–1874) – the great son of Serbian land” written by six professors from the Department of history of the Serbian people in the Modern period at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Belgrade. The book coincides with the 150th anniversary of Garašanin’s death and it was published by the National museum of Aranđelovac. The monograph is the most comprehensive biography of one of the most important Serbian statesmen. Each of the six authors contributed to the description of Garašanin’s public and political career, his domestic and foreign policies, as well as his private life and family heritage. The biography not only summarizes previous scholarly knowledge but also introduces a significant number of new archival materials of Serbian and foreign origin that were not previously utilized, supporting a well-rounded portrait of Ilija Garašanin and his public activities. Ilija Garašanin is considered one of the greatest modern Serbian statesman, alongside Jovan Ristić and Nikola Pašić. Throughout his long political career, during which he served as Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Internal Affairs, he consistently prioritized Serbian national interests. He was the creator of the most important Serbian national program, known as “Načertanije,” in 1844. He resigned from the position of Prime Minister in 1867, and spent the last years of his life on his estate in Grocka, in debt, which indicates that politics was not a source of income for him, but rather an opportunity to use his abilities as a statesman for the common good.

Authors: Maydan Daniella D. , Lee Samantha , Galiatsatos Panagis , Golden Melissa
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Given global climate change, it's crucial to mitigate immediate and long-term health risks through initiatives that foster advocacy for a healthier climate and improved human health. This research presents a feasibility study of the Health Effects of Climate Change Curriculum (HECCC), an intervention aimed at enhancing climate literacy and empowering youth to become climate-health activists in primary and secondary public schools in Baltimore City and County. Methods: The HECCC was developed by a multidisciplinary team and consists of the following lessons: (1) Introduction to Climate Change, (2) Air Quality and Weather, (3) Food and Water, and (4) Environmental Justice and Health Equity. Lessons were taught in-person, during school hours, by trained pre-health students and healthcare professionals. Schools were invited to participate based on prior engagement in our health education initiatives, building upon pre-existing community partnerships. Results: From Spring 2023 to Spring 2024, the HECCC was implemented in four public and secondary public schools throughout Baltimore City and County, reaching approximately 300 students between ages 9 to 18. All schools were composed of predominantly non-white students, and located in areas with unique climate change vulnerabilities and healthcare clinician shortages. Teacher feedback at all schools indicated enjoyment of the curriculum, perceived expansion of students' knowledge, and increased interest in the health effects of climate change. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the feasibility of a community-based, locally-focused climate change and health curriculum that can be adapted for various ages and class durations. Future steps involve refining the curriculum and expanding to more schools.
Machine-Learning Text Analysis of Intergenerational Mobility Perceptions in Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom
Authors: Gugushvili Alexi , Lennert Felix , Präg Patrick
Published: January 2025

Research on intergenerational mobility has traditionally focused on objective markers of socioeconomic position. In this study, we argue that the subjective aspects of intergenerational mobility deserve greater attention and empirically explore what individuals report they compare when they gauge their intergenerational mobility trajectories. Drawing on representative survey data from Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, as well as machine-learning-driven text analyses of open-ended survey responses, we reveal that, in addition to conventional measures of intergenerational mobility, such as education, occupational status, and income, individuals consider a diverse array of factors, including family life, home ownership, and lifestyle choices. Our findings highlight the heterogeneity of these comparisons across different countries, genders, and generations. We identify significant variations in the dimensions of intergenerational comparisons, such as the prominence of education in Sweden, the focus on housing in the United Kingdom, and the salience of freedom, opportunity, and lifestyle in Germany. Furthermore, gender differences reveal that females are more likely to emphasize education and family life, while males focus on income and occupational status. These insights provide a deeper understanding of the subjective dimensions of intergenerational mobility and contribute to ongoing debates in social stratification research and general social theory.

Inscriptions Testify: Examining the Home Library of Ivan Mykytenko
Authors: Mykytenko Oksana
Published: January 2025

Book inscriptions can be understood as one of historical and culturally important categories of ego-documents. This article studies inscriptions and dedications in the collection of books which belonged to the prominent Ukrainian writer Ivan Mykytenko (1897–1937), who perished during Stalin’s repressions. The books were given to Mykytenko at various times by his Ukrainian and foreign colleagues – writers, artists, translators, theatre agents and cultural workers. Book inscriptions testify to creative contacts among the writers, bring to light the literary and artistic life of the country, speak about true friendships and false appreciation in the time of trial. During the totalitarian regime, the home library of Ivan Mykytenko was saved by the writer’s family; and now it is one of the unique collections of the 1920s–1930s in Ukraine. This topic raises the question of familial memory and the tragedy of the Ukrainian cultural elite. As the evidence of continuous and essential international literary contacts within the national cultural tradition, book inscriptions become a manifestation of creative and friendly ties between writers from different countries despite the threats of totalitarianism.

Authors: Wibowo Adi , Moh. Roqib  , Subur  , Sain Zohaib Hassan
Published: January 2025

Religious moderation has become an important concept in Islamic education, especially in Indonesia, as an effort to instill the values of balance, tolerance, and inclusiveness. Pesantren, as traditional Islamic educational institutions, have a central role in teaching moderation values to santri. This article aims to analyze the application of religious moderation in educational management in pesantren, focusing on aspects of curriculum, leadership, and character education. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach at Pesantren An-Nawawi Berjan Purworejo. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with caregivers, santri, and teaching staff, as well as document analysis related to curriculum policies and pesantren management. The analysis was conducted using a thematic approach to identify patterns of religious moderation implementation in the daily activities of the pesantren. The results showed that the application of religious moderation in Pesantren An-Nawawi Berjan Purworejo had a positive impact on increasing tolerance among students and inclusive character building. Religious moderation is also integrated in human resource management, curriculum development, and pesantren leadership activities. In addition, the values of religious moderation help this pesantren in managing social dynamics better, increasing the operational effectiveness of the Institute. The implementation of religious moderation in Pesantren An-Nawawi shows how the pesantren can adapt to modern challenges such as intolerance and radicalism, while still maintaining its traditional identity. The integration of moderation values in the curriculum and management of pesantren strengthens the role of pesantren as institutions that educate generations that are not only academically intelligent, but also have tolerant and inclusive characters. This research confirms that religious moderation plays an important role in pesantren education management, particularly in improving tolerance and management effectiveness. The implication is that this model of implementing religious moderation can be adopted by other pesantren in Indonesia in facing the challenges of radicalism and maintaining social harmony.

puree and infusion of common heather. The research was carried out in the laboratories of the Faculty of
Biotechnology and Food Engineering of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education "Ural State Agrarian University". The infusion of common heather was obtained by adding 10 g of dry
stems and inflorescences to 200 ml of boiling water. The infusion was used in the manufacture of samples No.
3 and No. 4. Bread production consisted of the following stages: preparation of ingredients, dough kneading,
fermentation, kneading, forming, proofing, baking and cooling. The quality control of bread samples was carried out according to organoleptic and physico-chemical characteristics. The results of the organoleptic analysis allow us to identify the best of the enriched samples – No. 4, produced with the introduction of 80 g of
pumpkin puree and 70 g of common heather infusion into the recipe. It had a pleasant, slightly spicy taste, a
dark yellow color, and a smell peculiar to wheat bread. The results of determining the physico-chemical parameters of bread samples indicated a decrease in acidity as the volume of infusion increased and the moisture
content of the crumb increased. The additives did not have a special effect on the porosity of the crumb. Based
on the results of the conducted research, we recommend making 80 g of pumpkin puree and 70 ml of common
heather infusion in the production of wheat bread.

The article provides an assessment of the intensity of growth and development of young Hereford
breeds depending on the origin of the animals (breeding lines) at the Iskra-M LLC plant. The purpose of the
study is to scientifically substantiate the use of Hereford cattle of different breedings (Kirov, Nizhny Novgorod
and Tatar) in the production of high-quality meat. As a result of the studies, it was revealed that the live weight
of newborn bulls ranged from 30.7 kg to 31.7 kg. At the same time, the bulls of the Tatar breed were 5.0 kg
above the established lower limit for the elite-record class, and the bulls of the Kirov and Nizhny Novgorod
selections met the requirements for the elite class. The average daily increase from birth to eight months was
the highest in the Tatar group, amounting to 909.1 g. These animals surpassed their Kirov and Nizhny Novgorod peers by 40.4 g and 36.8 g, respectively. The greatest absolute increase over the period from birth to 205
days was observed in bulls of the Tatar selection, amounting to 192.2 kg, which is 11.5 kg and 7.1 kg more
than their Kirov and Nizhny Novgorod counterparts. Over the period from 205 days to 8 months, the Kirov
and Nizhny Novgorod groups showed an absolute increase of – 27.7 kg, which is 1.6 kg higher than the Tatar
calves, which amounted to 26.1 kg.

Objective: Measuring the physical fitness components of athletes provides crucial information in designing an individual training program to enhance performance. However, a huge gap is identified, in the lack of baseline physical fitness profiles among Malaysian adolescence Karateka. Our objective is to describe the physiological profiles of Malaysian adolescence Karateka.Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Klang Valley; at eight Karate training facilities in participants aged 13-19 years old. Demographic data, anthropometric and short physical performance batteries, 3-minute YMCA step test, Jamar handgrip dynamometer test 3-minutes and 1-minute sit-up test were collected and analysed using statistical package for social sciences version 26. Results: The mean age was 15.8±1.8 years. The mean body mass index was 21.5±4.5 kg.m2, the mean VO2 peak was 59.0±12.4 ml.kg.min, and the mean hand grip strength was 30.7±9.3 kg. Karateka in higher age groups (18-19 years) had a significantly higher weight (median=64.4, p-value=0.003), higher skeletal muscle mass (median=27.6, p-value=0.006), higher hand grip strength (median=37, p-value=0.000), and higher 1 min sit up test (median=32, p-value=0.071). Male Karateka had a higher skeletal muscle mass (median=25.9 kg, p-value=0.000), higher hand grip strength (median 33.1 kg, p-value=0.000), higher 1 minute sit-up test (median=32, p-value=0.001) and higher VO2 peak (median 67.2 ml.kg.min, p-value=0.000). Conclusion: This serves as baseline anthropometric and physical fitness profiles among Malaysian adolescence Karateka.
