The objective of this research was to analyze the applicability of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in the educational context, investigating the possibilities of integrating these technologies into the teaching and learning process. The methodology adopted was of a bibliographic nature, with a survey of articles and academic publications in databases such as SciELO, Google Scholar and other relevant sources. The results indicated that both VR and AR offer great benefits for education, such as the creation of immersive and interactive environments, which favor student engagement and the personalization of learning. However, significant challenges were identified, such as the high cost of implementation, the need for teacher training, and the adaptation of the curriculum. The conclusion of the research points out that, despite the difficulties, these technologies have the potential to transform education, making learning more dynamic and accessible, but for this, it is essential to overcome structural obstacles and ensure adequate strategic planning for their effective implementation in schools.

Published: February 2025

The number of nephropathic feline patients in the small animal medical clinic is increasing, representing an important portion of the patients in the feline clinic. Kidney diseases can be primary or secondary diseases and invariably have a multifactorial etiology. This etiology is related to genetic and hereditary factors, such as nutritional, metabolic, infectious, and racial factors, among others. Understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of these conditions helps not only in establishing an adequate prognosis, but also in making therapeutic decisions and directing follow-up actions and prophylaxis of future events. Kidney diseases, in general, have a progressive and silent character, which can worsen according to the delay in diagnosis, so it is necessary to evaluate and connect the circumstances in which the alterations of the nephric system were installed for a quick resolution of the case or staging of it, since, divided into two categories, Acute Renal and Chronic Renal, The therapies employed for each type of kidney disease will differ, as well as the objectives behind each one. Thus, the need for an in-depth study aimed at understanding, recognizing and managing renal pathological processes is crucial, not only for the scientific community, but also for owners of nephropathic animals. This ensures an accurate diagnosis and treatment by the medical team, as well as management and continuity of treatment that promotes the improvement of the health of the kidney patient.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the participatory management process in the development of a prioritization instrument for the School Health Program.

METHOD: This is a quantitative, cross-sectional and evaluative study, focused on improvements in the management of the School Health Program. An instrument was developed to prioritize managerial aspects, based on criteria of magnitude, priority and potential for participation. A participatory methodology was used, developed through consensus workshops with local managers, in a municipality in the Midwest of Brazil, between July 2021 and June 2023. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

RESULTS: Elaboration of a matrix of priorities, considering the potential participation of the actors involved. The areas led by the health sector showed the greatest potential for participation, including priorities such as vaccination, obesity prevention, articulation of actions, coping with vulnerabilities, longitudinal care, local diagnosis, operational capacity of health units, and information management. In turn, components of the educational context, such as the local diagnosis and the operational capacity of the schools, showed less potential for participation.

CONCLUSIONS: The health sector demonstrated greater potential for participation compared to the educational sector. The process stimulated a more effective integration among local managers to classify emerging demands and define managerial priorities. The group's engagement in the collective construction of the prioritization instrument suggests the need to include participatory strategies that enable the exchange of experiences and good intersectoral practices, improving monitoring and evaluation in key areas. This process allows for horizontality, promotes collaborative work in response to territorial vulnerabilities, strengthens the operational capacity of institutions and information management. It also contributes to longitudinal care and a more accurate local diagnosis, which can increase the potential for participation of all sectors involved, an essential factor for health promotion in this context.

Authors: Wagan Shah Mehmood , Sidra Sidra
Published: February 2025

It is important for businesses to prioritize customer satisfaction to gain customer loyalty and trust. Maintaining customer loyalty is important for companies that want to build lasting relationships with customers, as they understand that the cost of acquiring new customers is significantly higher than retaining current ones. Currently, mere repeat purchases are not enough They must also have a strong and positive attitude towards the brand or business. Ensuring customer satisfaction and loyalty allows companies to achieve their market capitalization goals. Like any other business, customer loyalty is important in the insurance industry. Insurance companies need to scrutinize customer loyalty to ensure that their customers renew their insurance policies. This study examined the initiatives taken by insurance companies to maintain customer loyalty in Pakistan, and a field study was conducted to identify factors affecting customer satisfaction and loyalty in insurance firm.
Myths of the Cold War
Authors: Weeks Albert L.
Published: February 2025

Myths of the Cold War: Amending Historiographic Distortions provides a corrective for the distortions and omissions of many previous domestic and foreign (including Russian) studies of the Cold War, especially those published since 2000. The “present interest” motivation in Weeks's analysis is gaining a clear understanding of the bi-polar, $4 trillion, nuclear-war-threatening standoff that lasted over 40 years after World War II until the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Without such knowledge and understanding of this dangerous conflict, any future encounter of the cold-war type with another nation-state is liable to be construed in confusing ways just as the U.S.-Soviet Cold War was. The consequence of such misunderstanding in the historiographic sense as well as in policy-making at the highest level is that the populations of the contending powers will have distorted conceptions of the reasons for the confrontation. The result of this, in turn, is skewed tendentiousness that masks concrete, underlying causes of intense inter-state contention.

Practical benefits thus flow from an unprejudiced analysis of the past Cold War with Communist Russia. This understanding can help prevent a future conflict, such as one with Communist China, which some reputed sinologists are currently predicting, as well as one with post-Soviet Russia. Conversely, if a new cold war is imposed on the West, a clearer understanding of the post-World War II archetypical Cold War will be edifying.
The Economic Consequences of the Atlantic Slave Trade
Authors: Solow Barbara L.
Published: February 2025

The Economic Consequences of the Atlantic Slave Trade shows how the West Indian slave/sugar/plantation complex, organized on capitalist principles of private property and profit-seeking, joined the western hemisphere to the international trading system encompassing Europe, Africa, North America, and the Caribbean, and was an important determinant of the timing and pattern of the Industrial Revolution in England. The new industrial economy was no longer dependent on slavery for development, but rested instead on investment and innovation. Solow argues that abolition of the slave trade and emancipation should be understood in this context.
The Forest in Medieval German Literature
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: February 2025

By pursuing an ecocritical reading, The Forest in Medieval German Literature examines passages in medieval German texts where protagonists operated in the forest and found themselves either in conflictual situations or in refuge. By probing the way the individual authors dealt with the forest, illustrating how their characters fared in this sylvan space, the role of the forest proved to be of supreme importance in understanding the fundamental relationship between humans and nature. The medieval forest almost always introduced an epistemological challenge: how to cope in life, or how to find one’s way in this natural maze. By approaching these narratives through modern ecocritical issues that are paired with premodern perspectives, we gain a solid and far-reaching understanding of how medieval concepts can aid in a better understanding of human society and nature in its historical context. This book revisits some of the best and lesser known examples of medieval German literature, and the critical approach used here will allow us to recognize the importance of medieval literature for a profound reassessment of our modern existence with respect to our own forests.

The $650 Billion Bargain
Authors: O'Hanlon Michael E.
Published: February 2025

U.S. defense spending isn’t excessive and, in fact, should continue to grow because it’s both affordable and necessary in today's challenging world.

The United States spends a lot of money on defense$607 billion in the current fiscal year. But Brookings national security scholar Michael O'Hanlon argues that is roughly the right amount given the overall size of the national economy and continuing U.S. responsibilities around the world. If anything, he says spending should increase modestly under the next president, remaining near 3 percent of gross domestic product.

Recommendations in this book differ from the president's budget plan in two key ways. First, the author sees a mismatch in the Pentagon’s current plans between ends and means. The country needs to spend enough money to carry out its military missions and commitments. Second, O'Hanlon recommends dropping a plan to cut the size of the Army from the current 475,000 active-duty soldiers to 450,000.

The U.S. national defense budget is entirely affordablerelative to the size of the economy, relative to past levels of effort by this country in the national security domain, and relative, especially, to the costs of failing to uphold a stable international order. Even at a modestly higher price, it will be the best $650 billion bargain going, and a worthy investment in this country’s security and its long-term national power.
The Book of Revelation and the Visual Culture of Asia Minor
Authors: Guffey Andrew R.
Published: February 2025

The images in the book of Revelation confound even the most seasoned of interpreters. In this book, Andrew R. Guffey argues that part of the confusion stems from the fact that the book of Revelation was first and foremost a work to be “seen,” but that few interpreters address the visuality of the book. The Book of Revelation and the Visual Culture of Asia Minor describes a connection between rhetorical discussions of ekphrasis, visual culture, and John’s images—a “concurrence of images”— using theory and thick historical description. Guffey’s analysis situates the text and its rhetorical performativity in the context of ancient visual and rhetorical culture, arguing that Revelation is not merely a work of literary craft, but also of visual culture.
Teach Us to Pray
Authors: Mahon Katharine
Published: February 2025

The study of liturgical reform is usually undertaken through a close examination of liturgical texts. In order to consider the impact of reform on the worship life of Christians, Katharine Mahon takes a wider view of liturgy by considering the worship practices of Christian churches beyond what appears in the rites themselves. Looking at how Christians were taught how to pray and instructed in liturgical and sacramental participation, Mahon explores the late medieval patterns of Christian ritual formation and the transformation of these patterns in the sixteenth-century reforms of Martin Luther, Thomas Cranmer, and Roman Catholic leaders. She uses the Lord’s Prayer—the backbone of medieval lay catechesis, liturgical participation, and private prayer—to paint a panorama of medieval ritual formation integrated into the life of the church in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. She then follows the disintegration and reconstruction of that system of formation through the changing functions of the Lord’s Prayer in the official reforms of catechesis, liturgy, and prayer in the sixteenth-century.

The implementation of technology in physical education learning at elementary schools is an innovative step to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the learning process. Technology offers broader accessibility, increases student engagement, and supports the development of digital skills. However, its implementation faces various challenges, such as technological disparities, resistance to change, limited resources, data security issues, and the potential for over-reliance on technology. With support from the government, schools, and communities, technology can be integrated in a balanced manner, serving as a supporting tool to achieve the goals of physical education without compromising its essence.
فعالية برنامج التربية العلاجية النفسية في تحسين المهارات الاجتماعية لدى مرضى الفصام
Authors: Kmichou Halima , Ziani Aicha
Published: February 2025

This study was conducted in response to the scarcity of Arabic research on psychotherapeutic interventions for schizophrenia compared to pharmacological treatments, which are more prevalent in Western societies. It thus represents a significant scientific contribution to this field. The study aims to enhance the social skills of individuals with schizophrenia and facilitate their reintegration into society through the implementation of a therapeutic program at Ibn Al-Hassan Psychiatric Hospital in Fez. A clinical case study approach was adopted, with a sample comprising three male patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Data collection tools included clinical observation, medical history analysis, clinical interviews, and pre- and post-assessments using a social skills scale. The collected data were analyzed by comparing pre- and post-test results to measure the program’s effectiveness. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the participants’ social skills, allowing them to interact more effectively with their surroundings and reintegrate into their family environments following a reduction in the severity of their symptoms. Some initial resistance to therapy was observed due to auditory and visual hallucinations, but these diminished after three to four sessions. The study confirmed the effectiveness of psychoeducational therapy in improving social skills among individuals with schizophrenia, contributing to their reintegration and reducing relapse risks. Furthermore, it underscored the need to expand Arabic research in this field to develop more effective therapeutic interventions.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to identify the knowledge of special education teachers in managing the behavior of students with autism. The research was conducted at PPKI (Special Education Integration Program) in schools within the Petaling Utama District, involving 10 special education teachers with at least five years of experience. Behavior management is a critical aspect of enhancing the readiness of students with autism to learn in the classroom. Therefore, teachers must possess comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of behavior management for practical application. The study employed a semi-structured interview method conducted online via Google Meet. The data analysis was performed using thematic analysis through the Atlas.ti application. The findings highlight the need for teachers' knowledge regarding the foundational understanding of disruptive behaviors in students with autism, strategies for behavior management, positive and negative reinforcement, awareness of behavior components in the Special Education Curriculum, and the implications of behavior management on effective teaching and learning (PdPc). The results of this study can serve as a reference and basis for improving educational systems that emphasize the importance of managing the behavior of students with autism, ensuring better learning outcomes and a conducive classroom environment.
Regulating Misinformation or Silencing Dissent? A Constitutional Analysis of the PECA Amendments 2025
Authors: Muhammad Awais Aslam  , Abdullah Kanrani  , Muhammad Adil Shehroz
Published: February 2025

With the rise of digital platforms, perception of the public has changed; dissemination of information changed; and communication environment has changed. Under the 2025 Amendments to the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), it stipulates penalties for disseminating false information, and sets up a tribunal system specifically for hearing these cases, and brings down more state control over digital content to fight disinformation. Although such wide and vague clauses have been objected to by legal experts, reporters and human rights activists for the reasons that they restrict basic constitutional rights such as freedom of speech (Article 19) right to information (Article 19A) and right to a fair trial (Article 10A). The amendments create to enforce these new rules and it falls under the Social Media Protected and regulatory Authority (SMPRA). But in its vague, all-encompassing authority, authorities would have the power to censor voices of opposition, limit internet expression, making for flexibility of empowerment for the government. Comparative analysis of digital literacy programs and content transparency systems vis à vis International best practices as well as regulatory methods in the EU, US, India and UK find them to be more landed substitutes to criminalization as well as too forceful government action. The study of the PECA Amendments 2025 presented in this paper considers more thoroughly their potential impact on basic liberties and offers suggestions as to how the control of false information can be balanced with a defence of democratic liberties.
Conceptual foundations of manipulation
Authors: Zabotkina Vera I. , Boyarskaya Elena L.
Published: February 2025

The formation and operation of the global information environment, along with the increased speed of information dissemination driven by advances in information technologies, present a significant challenge to modern society. This acceleration leads to excessive cognitive load, which diminishes the ability to critically evaluate and analyse received information. This article explores the conceptual processes that underpin manipulative influences within media discourse. Through a conceptual analysis of contemporary English-language media, using the News on the Web corpus, the study identifies and describes key types of conceptual transfers that serve as the foundation of manipulative acts. The cognitive mechanisms of analogy, metaphorization, emotionalization, profiling, attribution, framing, scripting, and their numerous combinations form the basis of manipulation in modern English-language media texts. These processes are characterized by dynamism and polydomain interaction, making their identification and analysis even more complex. The dynamic nature of conceptual transfers is driven by the functioning of the experiencer's conceptual system, which continuously processes sensory data at pre-conceptual, conceptual, and category levels. Polydomain transfers enable agents of a manipulative act to craft layered conceptual narratives that target various levels of perception and interpretation, thus making manipulative effects more difficult to detect. The study of conceptual transfer in relation to manipulation is particularly crucial in the context of the global information environment, where media serves as the primary channel for the dissemination of news and opinions. A deeper understanding of the cognitive and linguistic aspects of this process is vital for developing strategies to counteract manipulative practices. This research provides an in-depth analysis of various forms of manipulation and proposes new approaches for investigating their impact on both the collective and individual experiencer.
“When life was in the home circle” in the conditional reasonings of Fregean mad-humans and logical penalists
Authors: Lisanyuk Elena N.
Published: February 2025

We advocate an idea that a necessary condition for a dispute about truth amounts not to the carriers of non-ideal logical thought, but to a variety of approaches to reconstructing the logical form of conditional reasoning, which implies diversification of methods for solving logical tasks. The relevance of the study is conveyed by discussions about logical aliens - fan­tastic mad-humans, in which Frege embodied his idea of the impossibility of denying the nec­essary nature of logical laws in the acquisition of truth, in the context of the remarkable diver­sity of formal logical tools for modeling argumentation and reasoning. Based on modern stud­ies of conditional reasoning, using the example of Onegin’s conditional reasoning from a let­ter to Tatyana, we show that there are different ways of reconstructing it, including compet­ing ones. In the spirit of Frege, we construct the concept of logical penalists - non-ideal think­ers of our “home circle”, who, due to their limited intellectual resources, are sometimes con­tent with not the best results in reasoning and who turn out to be the only candidates to par­ticipate in a dispute about truth, as such disputes are possible with neither ideal thinkers nor logical aliens. The concept of logical penalists allows us to illustrate the idea that disputes are possible due not to the differences in opinions among humans, but to the variety of ways to justify them.

Integrative Nutritional Therapy in Canine Cancer
Authors: Nokay Catherine Naime
Published: February 2025

In humans and animals, diet is an important aspect of cancer prevention and treatment. Although the research in this area is primarily in humans, studies have demonstrated that dietary therapy may be helpful in preventing or slowing the development of canine cancer and in supporting patients receiving standard care. In an integrative nutritional approach, the conventional therapy consists of specially designed diets that may include whole food items, probiotics, vitamins, fatty acids, and natural polyphenols. These can be custom designed to select for efficacy against particular cancer types and organ protection during toxic cancer treatments. Along with conventional therapy, the addition of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese food therapy benefits modern clinical treatment with knowledge gleaned over several thousand years by Chinese physicians. For example, the herb Qing Hao (Artemisia) has anti-cancer effects in canine osteosarcoma cell lines and has also been seen to increase survival in small animal cancer patients. Gan Jiang (dry Ginger) has lessened the incidence of emesis in cisplatin-treated dogs. It is possible with consideration of knowledge from human literature, both ancient and modern, that syndrome differentiation in Chinese food therapy combined with conventional nutritional therapy, helps improve quality of life and may lengthen survival in canine patients with cancer.

Keterampilan desain visual dan pemasaran digital menjadi dua hal krusial dalam memasarkan suatu produk, terlebih bagi pelaku UMKM. Kemampuan menghasilakn sebuah produk seringkali tidak diimbangi dengan kemampuan dalam memasarkan usaha pada jangkauan yang lebih luas. Alhasil, suatu produk yang bagus seringkali masih dipasarkan melalui metode word of mouth. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan penulis dan tim pengabdi bekerjasama dengan mitra yaitu Padukuhan Joho terutama RW 60 yang dikenal sebagai sentra industri konveksi. RW ini telah menerima pesanan konveksi partai besar dari hotel dan pelaku usaha Yogyakarta dan sekitarnya namun pesanan masih diterima secara manual.
