Authors: Socarrás-Mérida Lourdes , Villazón Alex , Montepeque Carlos Armando Lemus , Guzman Cristian Fernando , Ormachea Omar , Vissoni Sebastián Cabria , Fransson Torsten
Published: January 2025

Digital transformation in education, particularly in Latin America, faces significant challenges due to the lack of standardized academic credit systems across universities. The EU-BEGP Project aims to address some of the challenges by developing a unified qualification framework that aligns with the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) and an earlier proposed “Latin American Reference Credit” (CLAR) system. This paper presents the “EXPLORE Energy Digital Academy” (EEDA) concept, which supports global collaboration in the co-creation of digital learning materials, emphasizing quality assurance and innovative, student-centered educational models that are expanded into Latin America. This is done through the EU-sponsored “EU-BEGP” Project which involves partners from both Latin America and Europe and seeks to modernize courses and programs in the energy sector through digital tools and resources, while also proposing solutions for a standardized academic credit system that facilitates the recognition of qualifications across regions. This initiative is crucial for fostering educational collaboration and ensuring that digital education meets the diverse needs of students in emerging regions. The paper describes the background of such collaboration and focuses upon the necessity of (1) appropriate academic metadata, (2) educational quality process and (3) credit transfers between partners.
Prácticas socioeducativas en el sistema de justicia penal para adolescentes en México
Authors: Escobedo Edgar , Duarte José , Valenti Giovanna
Published: January 2025

In Mexico, adolescents in conflict with the law have the right to receive an education. The educational services offered stem from a policy of the Criminal Justice System (SJP), which introduced changes to the National Law of the Comprehensive Criminal Justice System for Adolescents (LNSIJPA) by adopting a restorative vision of justice and developing measures that contribute to social reintegration. This article analyzes the pedagogical practices of a group of teachers working at a Social Reintegration Center for Adolescent Offenders (CERSAI). The research was qualitative, including semi-structured interviews and focus groups with teachers and key individuals in the institution. Some findings indicate recognition of the objectives and benefits of social reintegration and the potential of the Educational Model for Adolescents in the Criminal Justice System (MEASJP). Teachers encourage adolescents to study, design participatory strategies, and foster peer-to-peer pedagogical exchanges; a high professional profile was observed, but with limited training in juvenile justice issues. They noted a lack of resources, problems with coordination and planning, and inconsistencies between the ideal of a rights-based perspective and the effectiveness of the educational treatment provided. It is concluded that the strategies used in the development of pedagogical practices, as well as the institutional, relational, and practical challenges, must be addressed with commitment. Many changes and proposals in the law are still far from being consolidated, and it is necessary to continue working to improve an education that contributes to the social reintegration of these adolescents.

Authors: Fernández-Sánchez Diego , Escurra-Vicésar Mariano , Sánchez-Angles Luz
Published: January 2025

The variables of organizational culture and occupational well-being have gained greater relevance, which is why workers must be familiar with these concepts. In the analyzed higher education institute, it was observed that an environment conducive to the development of staff capabilities is not fostered, negatively impacting occupational well-being. This generates an unmotivating work climate, making it difficult to develop a sense of belonging to the organization. Therefore, the study aimed to determine the relationship between organizational culture and occupational well-being among teachers at a higher education institute in the city of Arequipa in 2025. This was a basic research study developed under a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design. The population consisted of 42 teachers from the institute, and a non-probabilistic convenience sampling method was used. A single structured questionnaire with 25 items was employed as the measurement instrument, assessing both study variables. The results showed that both variables are at a medium level. Some teachers do not perceive sufficient autonomy in their work, and deficiencies were found in factors such as the work climate and conflict tolerance, which should be addressed to build a better culture aligned with the institution's objectives and teachers' expectations. Finally, it was concluded that there is a positive and significant relationship between organizational culture and occupational well-being among teachers at the higher education institute in Arequipa.

Authors: Maturana-Moreno Gerson
Published: January 2025

The Lesson Study methodology is recognized as a powerful tool to strengthen teaching practice and learning globally. However, its effectiveness depends on overcoming cultural, structural, and methodological barriers. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate how and under what conditions it can be successfully implemented. This study analyzed the application of this methodology in various educational contexts, identifying key factors for its success and critical areas that require improvement to optimize its impact. The PRISMA protocol was followed, and a search was conducted in the Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect databases, selecting publications in English between 2010 and 2024. Initially, 1979 resources were identified, which were reduced to 39 empirical articles with the keyword "Lesson Study" in their title. The main findings indicate that this methodology is primarily applied in initial teacher training and professional development. Among the most common barriers are resistance to change and lack of time and resources. On the other hand, interdisciplinary collaboration, technology integration, and curricular adaptations are key facilitators. The most significant impacts include the improvement of pedagogical and disciplinary knowledge, critical teacher reflection, increased academic performance, attention to individual needs, and the promotion of meaningful learning among students. In conclusion, proper implementation of this methodology fosters the improvement of teaching strategies, student learning, and, consequently, educational quality.
Metodologia qualitativa e quantitativa na avaliação de um curso de graduação
Authors: Rossi Júnior Ernesto Sílvio , Paparelli Pola Hasmann , Kalmus Jaqueline , Paparelli Renata
Published: January 2025

An analysis of research that evaluates courses offered by Higher Education Institutes reveals the existence of countless works that adopt a quantitative approach. There is very little work that chooses a qualitative approach and that bring together both approaches. Considering this gap and the importance of the issue, we decided to do research that would bring about this combination. Thus, we decided to investigate the views of teachers and students in a Business Administration Course in a Higher Education Institute. Using both approaches (qualitative and quantitative), the following aspects were investigated: course expectations, opportunities offered by the intended career, opinion about the curriculum and the quality of education, reasons that interfere and/or determine changes in students around their initial expectations, relation between organizational factors and variation of students' expectations. Students were asked to answer questionnaires and were also interviewed in groups and with teachers. The research revealed that the combination of the qualitative and quantitative approaches contributed in a substantial way to deepen the understanding of the phenomenon. The research also raised new questions from the results of other work which had a quantitative approach. We believe, therefore, that the qualitative approach has much to contribute on the issue of evaluating the courses given at Higher Education Institutes.

Authors: De Souza Júnior João Alves , Seixas Raimundo Jorge Santos , Fragoso Junior Mario Dutra
Published: January 2025

Este artigo explora a relação entre o Direito Administrativo, a formulação de Políticas Públicas e o Ciclo de Inteligência vis-à-vis a atuação da Agência Brasileira de Inteligência (Abin). O campo dos Estudos de Inteligência é recente e, no Brasil, a produção acadêmica é escassa na apresentação e compreensão da Atividade de Inteligência (AI) como parte funcional da burocracia estatal. Esse entendimento é relevante para promoção de práticas de governança e de controle da AI conforme mecanismos modernos do Direito Administrativo. Com base em análises teóricas e metodológicas, inspiradas na ótica do pensamento complexo, na transdisciplinaridade e no método dedutivo, argumenta-se que o Ciclo de Inteligência pode ser compreendido como um procedimento administrativo que auxilia a tomada de decisões públicas estratégicas. Ainda, o artigo apresenta hipótese sobre a natureza institucional das Operações de Inteligência. Para tanto, as fases do Ciclo de Inteligência são avaliadas em comparação a processos investigativos, como inquéritos policiais e civis, destacando a característica informacional e de assessoramento da Inteligência. Ademais, este estudo revisita bibliográfica especializada para avaliar os desafios relacionados à opacidade e accountability na AI. O artigo ressalta a importância da compreensão do Ciclo de Inteligência como procedimento administrativo e da necessidade de alinhamento desse e da Inteligência de Estado aos princípios do Direito Administrativo e à Teoria do Ciclo de Políticas Públicas, promovendo maior integração entre essas esferas e governança pública.
A Framework for Protecting Medical Data in Distributed Learning Environments
Authors: Parvez Mohammad Zavid , Islam Rafiqul , Zheng Lihong , Islam Md Zahidul
Published: January 2025

The increasing frequency of cybersecurity threats in healthcare,
exemplified by the February 2024 ransomware attack on Change Healthcare,
highlights the critical need for robust data protection mechanisms.
Traditional centralized healthcare systems are inherently vulnerable to
breaches due to the aggregation of sensitive patient information. To
address this challenge, we propose
\emph{SecureMedLearn}, a distributed learning framework
designed to enhance medical data privacy and security while enabling
advanced machine learning capabilities.
\emph{SecureMedLearn} leverages Federated Learning (FL)
to facilitate decentralized model training, ensuring compliance with
privacy regulations. The framework integrates Homomorphic Encryption
(HoE) to safeguard model parameters during training, minimizing the risk
of data reconstruction without incurring significant computational
overhead. Additionally, it incorporates Transfer Learning (TL) and
Incremental Learning (IL) to enhance adaptability and performance,
particularly for medical imaging tasks such as X-ray classification,
even with limited annotated datasets. By dynamically addressing concept
drift and evolving data patterns, \emph{SecureMedLearn}
ensures sustained performance in dynamic healthcare environments. Our
results demonstrate that \emph{SecureMedLearn}
outperforms existing frameworks in key metrics such as classification
accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Specifically, the proposed
framework achieves perfect recall (100\%) and the
highest F1-score (0.97) for the Normal class, as well as perfect
precision (100\%) for the COVID-19 class. Additionally,
\emph{SecureMedLearn} demonstrates a significant
improvement in aggregated accuracy, with values exceeding
90\% across various increments.These results validate
the effectiveness of \emph{SecureMedLearn} in providing
accurate, secure, and privacy-preserving medical image analysis. By
achieving high performance in critical classifications like Normal,
Pneumonia Bacteria, Pneumonia Viral, and COVID-19,
\emph{SecureMedLearn} presents itself as a promising
solution for real-world healthcare applications while identifying
opportunities for further enhancements in other areas.

Authors: Rahman Abdel , Torrens Gabriel , Bota Sebastia , Alorda Bartomeu
Published: January 2025

The deployment of IoT platforms for SmartCity applications is demanding
solutions to assure security and integrity levels. In this context,
physical unclonable functions (PUF) may overcome the security drawbacks
of storing the security key in a non-volatile memory. The existence of
SRAM in embedded systems has driven the implementation of PUF solutions
using memory circuit as entropy sources. The use of a non-specific
memory design requires the need of identify the adequate cells useful
for PUF applications. This work proposes a new methodology to
distinguish the adequate cells based on mismatch factor calculation. The
mismatch analysis using physical and performance parameters shows the
viability of the selection methodology and computes the robustness of
the responses in terms of probability of error in the start-up value.
Strain Longitudinal Global do Ventrículo Esquerdo: um Marcador Precoce de Cardiomiopatia Diabética
Authors: Saran Ana Carolina , Tormin Stephanie Corradini , Vogel Jennifer , Krakauer Rogério , Salles João Eduardo Nunes
Published: January 2025

Fundamento: A cardiomiopatia diabética (CMD) leva a alterações na estrutura e na função miocárdica, mesmo na ausência de fatores de risco cardíacos. A triagem na fase pré-clínica não está bem estabelecida. O strain longitudinal global (SLG) tem sido medido como um parâmetro ecocardiográfico importante em pacientes assintomáticos.

Objetivo: Descrever a presença de parâmetros precoces de CMD em pacientes com diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) sem doença cardiovascular e comparar os resultados com 2 grupos de controle.

Métodos: Um total de 58 pacientes foi dividido nos seguintes 3 grupos: DM2 (n = 20); insuficiência cardíaca (IC) com fração de ejeção preservada (ICFEp) sem DM2 (n = 19); e controle (CT) sem DM2 ou ICFEp (n = 19). Foram excluídos pacientes com doença cardiovascular e aqueles em uso de inibidores de SGLT2, pioglitazona ou saxagliptina.

Resultados: A prevalência média geral de SLG foi de 16% (desvio padrão [DP] ± 2,9), e 41% dos participantes apresentaram valores anormais, compreendendo 10 (50%) pacientes do grupo DM2, 11 (58%) do grupo ICFEp e 3 (16%) do grupo CT (p = 0,019). Os valores médios do SLG nos grupos DM2, ICFEp e CT foram 16,1%, 14,8% e 17,5%, respectivamente (p = 0,015). Houve uma associação negativa moderada entre os níveis de HbA1c e os valores de SLG no grupo DM2 (p = 0,043).

Conclusões: O SLG provou ser um potencial marcador precoce de alterações cardíacas do ventrículo esquerdo (VE) em pacientes com DM2, dada a similaridade entre esse grupo de pacientes e o grupo com ICFEp estudado.

Authors: Torres Matheus Coelho , Fagundes Juliana Goes Martins , Botelho Luís Fábio Barbosa , Verçosa Alinne Fernanda Amaral , Melo Marcelo Dantas Tavares de
Published: January 2025

Introdução: O aumento do uso de inibidores de checkpoint imunológicos (ICIs) melhorou significativamente os resultados no câncer de pulmão; no entanto, ainda há falta de protocolos para prever a resposta ao tratamento. Além disso, estudos pré-clínicos indicaram uma associação promissora entre metformina, β-bloqueadores (BBs) e melhores resultados em pacientes com câncer.

Objetivos: O objetivo principal deste estudo foi investigar o impacto da metformina nos desfechos de sobrevida. Os objetivos secundários incluíram a avaliação da variação na captação de FDG no miocárdio (alteração no valor de captação padronizado [ΔSUV]) durante o tratamento com ICIs e a avaliação dos efeitos do tabagismo, diabetes, hipertensão e uso de BBs nos desfechos de sobrevida.

Métodos: Este estudo de coorte retrospectivo unicêntrico e de braço único avaliou pacientes com câncer de pulmão que começaram a usar ICIs de julho de 2016 a dezembro de 2021. Os critérios de inclusão foram: idade superior a 18 anos, câncer de pulmão tratado com ICIs (inibidores de CTLA-4, PD-1 e PD-L1) e realização de pelo menos dois exames de tomografia por emissão de pósitrons combinada à tomografia computadorizada (PET-CT).

Resultados: Cinquenta e oito pacientes preencheram todos os critérios de inclusão. Os usuários de metformina apresentaram um aumento de 759 dias na sobrevida global (SG) (p = 0,015). Uma tendência de aumento de 161 dias na sobrevida livre de progressão (SLP) foi observada nos pacientes com ΔSUV miocárdica positiva em comparação ao grupo com ΔSUV negativa (p = 0,066), juntamente com uma tendência de aumento de 285 dias a favor dos usuários de BBs (p=0,886).

Conclusão: A associação significativa entre o uso de metformina e aumento da SG sugere que a metformina é um adjuvante promissor para a terapia com ICI. Uma tendência de ΔSUV miocárdica positiva e melhores resultados pode sugerir um papel potencial da PET-CT na previsão de resposta, porém, estudos maiores são necessários para solidificar essa hipótese.
História Pública e questões socialmente vivas: uma reflexão sobre as potencialidades da temática do integralismo brasileiro na divulgação histórica
Authors: Gonçalves Leandro Pereira , Maia Tatyana de Amaral , Pacheco Gabriela Santi , Tanagino Pedro I. D.
Published: January 2025

O objetivo deste artigo é promover uma reflexão sobre a importância da História Pública no tratamento das chamadas “questões socialmente vivas” no Brasil do Tempo Presente, a partir da experiência do integralismo, a maior organização fascista fora da Europa durante o período entreguerras. O movimento da História Pública no Brasil tem se caracterizado pela adoção de uma agenda de defesa da democracia e da cidadania, com destaque para a promoção de práticas que favoreçam às memórias subterrâneas. Nesse sentido, acreditamos que a temática do integralismo merece destaque na compreensão da cultura política autoritária brasileira e suas especificidades em meados do século XX, assim como as conexões transnacionais com movimentos como os fascismos europeus. A compreensão da trajetória histórica das direitas e extremas direitas é um caminho importante para a ampliação das consciências históricas e valorização da democracia, haja visto que é possível identificar traços autoritários que permanecem na sociedade brasileira atual.

Authors:   AEM ( Azerbaijan Science Center ), Khanous Achouak , Fayssal Ziat ,   AEM ( Azerbaijan Science Center )
Published: January 2025

The aim of this research is to approach the biological sciences, which are considered the dominant model in the contemporary period, due to their connection to technological developments related to scientific research. Where the guiding paradigm was formed, in the words of Thomas Cohen, this is due to the technological revolution and its connection with medicine, which is related to our lives in many aspects. Whether therapeutic or ethical, we find that biotechnology has been harnessed to serve humanity and reduce the difficulties that stand in the way of life. However, it is necessary to stand on the controversy that exists about overcoming the obstacles to technical development and its repercussions on the ethical level. Through this research paper, we seek to understand the applications of Biotechnology and its ethical implications according to human value frameworks.

The study concluded that it is useful to apply medical ethics as it is a set of rules that must be adhered to in order to achieve success in biotechnology and not to infringe on the sanctity of life in order to achieve the ethical mission of the medical profession, which is medical treatment.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

This research examines the relationship between philosophy and progress through the lens of the Frankfurt School's Critical Theory, exploring how its four generations criticized Western modernity's pathologies, including alienation, reification, and domination. The study reassesses key concepts such as rationality, freedom, and scientific progress, particularly criticizing the Enlightenment's emphasis on control through science and technology. By analyzing the paradigms of production, communication, recognition, and social acceleration, the research highlights the effectiveness of these cognitive models in diagnosing societal issues. A central question addressed is whether the insights of Critical Theory can be adapted to Arab societies to transform their socio-political realities. Through a critical analytical approach, the findings suggest that while the Frankfurt School's critique of Western modernity offers valuable tools, its frameworks must be adapted to local cultural and social contexts to address challenges specific to Arab societies, such as authoritarianism and social justice. Ultimately, the research concludes that Critical Theory, when localized, has the potential to contribute meaningfully to understanding and addressing the realities of Arab societies.
The State Apparatus of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic
Authors:   AEM ( Azerbaijan Science Center ), Adigozalova Arifa
Published: January 2025

The foundational principles of state governance system of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic were enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. This constitutional act of the National Council like document specified that the state would be governed The National Council elected by the people of Azerbaijan and a responsible succeeding Provinsional Government as a People's Republic, until the establishment of the Constituent Assembly. The democratic nature of the state's political system was underpinned by the proclaimed principles of political freedoms and guarantees for national and religious rights. The Republic's governance system lacked a singular supreme leader. Instead, governance was jointly exercised by the Parliament and the Government, which was accountable to it. The Parliament, as the supreme authority, engaged in legislative activities, while the Government implemented laws passed by Parliament and reported its activities to it. The Government was required to resign if its performance was deemed unsatisfactory or it lost the confidence of a parliamentary majority. In any democratic state based on the rule of law, the independent functioning of the judiciary is as essential as the legislative and executive branches. Otherwise, the legal foundations of the state mechanism weaken, undermining the democratic essence of governance. Demonstrating its commitment to establishing a legal and democratic state, the first cabinet of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic included the Ministry of Justice, headed by legal expert Khalil Bey Khasmammadov. The significant position of the judiciary within the state apparatus was further underscored when Prime Minister F. Khoyski concurrently assumed the role of Minister of Justice in the second cabinet.

The laws adopted during the Republic’s era aimed to construct a fair society that respected the rights and freedoms of all citizens.

Authors: Suryaningsum Sri , Dyah Ayusulistyaningrum
Published: January 2025

This study examines the Profit Margin (PM) and Operating Margin (OM) ratios as key indicators of management effectiveness in the energy and financial sectors. These ratios are crucial for investors in assessing company performance. OM reflects operational efficiency in line with a company's core business, while PM measures profitability after financing management. The energy sector, characterized by longer revenue cycles due to material processing, contrasts with the financial sector, where revenue is generated immediately upon transaction. The study analyzes 40 energy companies and 41 financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, using PM and OM data from the first half of 2024 (collected on August 2, 2024). A non-parametric Mann-Whitney test was employed to examine differences between the two sectors. Results indicate significant variations: the energy sector has an average PM of 13.98% and OM of 18.05%, while the financial sector shows higher averages, with PM at 20.77% and OM at 36.25%. These findings provide a reference for investors and researchers in evaluating corporate financial health across different industries.

RESCUE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCHES AS A COMPONENT OF THE MONUMENT PROTECTION SYSTEM (based on the materials of the rescue expeditions of the 1950s)
Authors: Tarasenko I.
Published: January 2025

The paper is focused on the issue of formation of the monument protection case in Ukraine, based on the material of the rescue archaeological researches of the Institute of Archaeology of the USSR Academy of Sciences in the South of Ukraine during the 1950s (Beryslavsko-Kakhovska, Havrylivska, Nikopolska, Nikopolsko-Havrylivska, Hornostaivska, Snigurivska, Molochanska, Terpinivska expeditions). Rescue excavations were carried out in the area of construction of the Kakhovka reservoir, irrigation construction in the valley of the Molochna River and in Lower Ingulets River. The archaeological sites (settlements, hillforts, burial grounds, and barrows), which were mostly located near river banks and were targets for destruction, were examined in the paper.
In addition, a certain emphasis is placed on the regulatory and legal framework for the protection of monuments, which was relied on by the Institute of Archaeology in matters of organizing, conducting and financing archaeological work on the places of great construction. The process of formation of monument protection legislation from the first «new construction» expeditions in Ukraine to the 1950s is traced. It is noted that this process was initiated during the Ukrainian revolution by the governments of the Central Rada, Pavlo Skoropadsky, and Directories.
In our opinion, the consideration of explored and excavated archaeological sites in the area of the Kakhovsky Reservoir is necessary, taking into account the destruction of its dam in 2023. A significant number of archaeological sites, explored 70 years ago and previously unknown, became available for exploration as a result of the lowering of the water level in the Dnieper. However, it is impossible to carry out this study during the war. In addition, this territory (Kherson, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzha, Dnipropetrovsk regions) is constantly suffering under enemy fire. Some of the monuments under study are occupied (for example, Kamiana Mohyla), which cannot help but disturb.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on Financial Performance with Good Corporate Governance (GCG) as a moderating variable in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The independent variable used in this study is CSR which is measured through 5 indicators including Dividend Payout Ratio, Staff Expenses Rate, Interest Payment Rate, Tax Proportion, and Proportion of Public Welfare Donation. The dependent variable used in this study is Financial Performance which is measured in 3 dimensions, namely the growth dimension with 4 indicators, profitability with 3 indicators, and risk management with 3 indicators. The moderating variable used in this study is GCG which is measured through the proportion of institutional ownership, managerial ownership, and foreign ownership. The population in this study are banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2018-2022 period. The type of research is quantitative testing. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling and 13 banking companies were obtained. This study uses PLS (Partial Least Square) analysis with the SmartPLS 3.0 application. Based on the results of the study, it shows that CSR has a significant positive effect on Financial Performance and GCG is unable to moderate the relationship between CSR and Financial Performance.

The revival and preservation of artistic techniques for the design of textile materials are one of the urgent tasks of our time. It seems important not only to restore and preserve the lost knowledge, but also to modify and integrate it into modern life, culture and fashion. With the development of industry, manual labor was replaced by machine labor, minimizing the elements of creativity in the production of fabrics, and the appearance of synthetic dyes led to a sharp reduction in natural ones. The relevance of this work lies in the increasing interest in textile design using natural coloring pigments as an environmentally friendly component in the technological chain of finishing production. This is due not only to the deteriorating environmental situation in the world, but also to the attention to unique products created with the help of botanical dyeing. The paper provides a brief overview of the historical formation of the dyeing craft in Russia, a survey of current research and development in the field of textile design. The study also involves displaying the results of a practical experiment on coloring and finishing natural textile materials with natural dyes.

Published: January 2025

Currently, the global issues of preserving national identity are very relevant. This appears due to the confrontation between two global processes: globalization and anti-globalization. The Civic Identity Forum was dedicated to that topic, which is preserving and developing Russian identity. It took place on November 20–21, 2024 in Moscow. The paper addresses and analyzes the speeches and reports of the Forum participants. The author presents and explores opinions and positions of politicians and scientists in the fields of sociology, cultural studies, education, anthropology, history, youth policy, and social technologies. The study suggests the answers to the following questions: what is the Russian civil identity, what are the problems in its design and implementation? Special attention is paid to the disclosure of issues of strengthening Russian identity. The paper also highlights topics of the relationship of identity with the national issue, with youth policy in Russia, and with religious peculiarities. The author displays main conclusions reached at the Forum: the need to develop a conceptual framework for the term “traditional values”, the focus of information policy on shaping the unity of society, continuing to implement patriotic projects for young people, raising the level of historical knowledge, and conducting public discussions to gain experience defending their views. The study concludes that it is essential to preserve national identities that allow us to associate ourselves with our ancestors, their achievements, the history of our country, family traditions and religious beliefs. All this preserves not only the national color, but also makes world culture diverse and not monotonous.

One practical substitute for aggregate in concrete that can be used in sustainable building methods is waste tyre rubber and metakaolin a significant advancement in sustainable building methods. This study addresses the main problem of limited knowledge on optimizing crumb rubber proportions in concrete bricks, aiming to fill the research gap regarding their impact on brick properties. Bricks were manufactured using various crumb rubber proportions (CR5%, CR10%, CR15%, and CR20%) in a 215×103×65mm mould, maintaining a consistent water-to-cement ratio of 0.6 for all mixes. Rubberized concrete bricks were evaluated at 28 days for efflorescence, water absorption, initial rate of water absorption, density, physical observation, and compressive strength, compared to control specimens. The results revealed no efflorescence in any bricks, with a 38% density reduction in the CR20% mix compared to the control. Water absorption increased linearly with higher crumb rubber content, while the initial rate of water absorption rose to 15% crumb rubber before decreasing with further increases. Compressive strength ranged from 12 to 22 MPa, 17% higher than the minimum required for conventional bricks, although the CR20% mix's strength of 4.3 MPa was 60% lower than the control mix, rendering it unsuitable for non-load-bearing elements. The optimal combination for structurally sound concrete bricks was achieved by replacing up to 15% sand with crumb rubber and adding 10% MK. This study demonstrates that incorporating these materials can enhance the sustainability and structural integrity of concrete bricks.
