This article analyzes modern methods of recycling ash and slag waste generated by coal
combustion in thermal power plants, as well as their impact on the environment. Currently,
the problem of industrial and household waste is becoming increasingly urgent, with ash
and slag waste being among the largest in terms of volume. These waste materials pose
a risk of environmental contamination with toxic substances and heavy metals. Dust is
generated in areas affected by ash dumps, and the components of the ash are washed away,
leading to their infiltration into the soil and groundwater, which worsens the ecological
situation. This, in turn, negatively affects plants and human health. Recycling ash and
slag waste helps conserve natural resources and address ecological issues. The study
conducted an analysis of the ash and slag waste from «Kentau Service» TPP-5, determining
their potential for use as an ecological construction material — brick. Additionally, the
physical and chemical suitability of these waste materials for brick production was tested.
It was proven that recycling TPP waste is both economically and ecologically efficient.

Based on a number of research papers about language education, student-produced video projects are beneficial and practical to improve language skills outside the classroom. Nevertheless, the use of this method in interpretation courses has yet to be widely studied in the world. Accordingly, the researchers utilized the experimental method in an interpretation course. The course had 40 seniors majoring in English for Tourism, asked to work in groups of four or five to plan and make their own video projects to practice interpreting in real-life contexts. Also, their video projects were graded as mid-term tests according to grading criteria. Quantitative and qualitative approaches were used to explore students’ perceptions and experiences of collaborative video projects. At the end of the course, they were invited to fill in surveys to discover their perceptions and what they could improve through this method. Furthermore, 12 of them joined online interviews to share their experiences as well as views of video projects. Based on the findings, most of the participants described collaborative video projects as new and motivating learning experiences helping develop their interpreting skills instead of studying in traditional classrooms. It was suggested that video projects should be used as a new teaching model in interpreter training.

Authors: Martínez León Ángel , Quilez Robres Alberto , Cortés-Pascual Alejandra
Published: January 2025

We are immersed in a society where connections between different knowledge nodes generate flows that can facilitate learning and the collective construction of knowledge. Social networks are a privileged space to achieve this. Still, this achievement is not only based on interaction: certain premises are necessary, and barriers must be overcome to facilitate the process. A study has been conducted on the implementation of training on Cooperative Learning using exclusively X (formerly Twitter) as a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). The methodology employed in this research combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. The former is through questionnaires, highly structured observation, and sociometry, and the latter through structured interviews. The results indicate that people highly value the possibilities of social networks for learning and the collective construction of knowledge. However, certain difficulties are evident that should be overcome for these objectives to be achieved: tension due to public exposure; difficulty in carrying out genuine cognitive conflict by the participants; and the habit of conducting linear training with conventional feedback, rather than peer-to-peer. Increased interactions will contribute to the achievement of certain proposed tasks. Still, in this research, it is evident that the improvement of the sense of collective construction of knowledge is more closely linked to the type of task proposed. Sharing experiences and increasing interactions do contribute to greater personal enrichment.

La pedagogía afectiva ¿Qué es y qué evidencia científica tiene? Una revisión rápida
Authors: Arufe-Giráldez Víctor , Ramos-Álvarez Oliver , Rodríguez-Padín Rocío , Sanmiguel-Rodríguez Alberto
Published: January 2025

In recent decades, new terms have been introduced in the field of education, one of these is the concept of affective pedagogy or pedagogy of affection. The aim of this paper is to carry out a rapid review of all scientific studies published up to April 2023 that address affective pedagogy in the field of education. The recommendations of the PRISMA protocol were followed. A total of 7 major databases were analysed: Web of Science, Scopus, Base, Phsycinfo, Dimensions, ERIC y Dialnet. The result was a low number of scientific publications dealing with affective pedagogy as an object of study. Initially, a total of 131 articles were found, only 8 were selected after removing duplicates and applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This pedagogy has a more conceptual and theoretical approach, even philosophical and spiritual-emotional, than an empirical one. Few studies have analysed its effects in the classroom. We found mainly studies with an ethnographic, essay, reflexive or qualitative approach. Most of these define affective pedagogy as the educational practice that transmits knowledge by paying more attention to the emotional part of the students and their psychological and psychosocial variables. These include empathy, active listening, interpersonal communication, self-esteem, confidence, among others. These concepts coincide with the so-called soft skills, which are very necessary in the training of students at all educational stages. More empirical studies are needed to support the application of affective pedagogy in the classroom.

A niacinamida é uma vitamina hidrossolúvel que tem sido amplamente estudada por suas propriedades antioxidantes, anti-inflamatórias e regenerativas, que podem contribuir para a saúde cutânea quando utilizada dermatologicamente. Contudo, é necessário que a concentração do ativo e a classificação do produto sejam adequadas para o fim desejado. Dessa maneira, o presente estudo objetivou comparar a composição química dos cosméticos registrados na Anvisa de maneira a avaliar o seu perfil químico e sua segurança. Para isso foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva quantitativa no site da Anvisa dos produtos registrados que continham niacinamida e comparou-se sua formulação. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos produtos (40,6%) são séruns, seguidos por hidratantes faciais (12,3%); apenas 32,1% dos produtos possuem comprovação científica de sua eficácia; os produtos classificados como grau 2 apresentaram maior concentração de niacinamida do que os produtos grau 1. Logo, foi possível considerar que os produtos cosméticos contendo niacinamida são seguros e eficazes, entretanto é importante verificar a concentração do ativo bem como dos demais componentes e buscar a orientação de um profissional capacitado antes do uso.

A Síndrome de Gordon Holmes (SGH) é uma condição neurodegenerativa autossômica recessiva rara, caracterizada pela associação de ataxia cerebelar, coreia, demência e hipogonadismo hipogonadotrófico. Desde sua descrição inicial em 1907 por Gordon Holmes, que relatou os primeiros casos envolvendo irmãos com sintomas cerebelares e deficiências hormonais (HOLMES, 1907), a SGH permanece pouco reconhecida na prática clínica. Estudos recentes têm destacado a importância do diagnóstico precoce e do manejo adequado, visto que a intervenção pode melhorar significativamente a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos afetados. Este trabalho apresenta 3 relatos de casos clínicos da SGH, com ênfase no espectro sintomático observado, incluindo ataxia cerebelar, declínio cognitivo e a presença de hipogonadismo hipogonadotrófico.

Residential Marginalization of Renters: Social Adaptation of Urban Youth in Suburbanized Living in First-Tier Cities
Authors: Liang Shuyan , Zhang Tong
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the phenomenon of residential marginalization in China’s first-tier cities, focusing on its impacts on urban youth and their adaptive strategies in suburbanized living. As Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen transform into global economic hubs, the escalating housing crisis—characterized by rising property prices, speculative markets, restrictive urban planning, and the exclusionary Hukou system—has displaced low- and middle-income renters, particularly young professionals, to suburban peripheries. This spatial exclusion exacerbates social inequality, limits access to urban resources, and undermines the cultural and economic vitality of these cities. Drawing on the intersection of housing market dynamics, urban planning policies, and socio-economic barriers, this paper provides an in-depth analysis of the systemic drivers of marginalization. It examines the resilience and ingenuity of suburbanized youth, highlighting their use of technology, co-living models, grassroots initiatives, and entrepreneurship to navigate the challenges of suburban living. By reimagining suburban spaces through innovation and community-building, young renters demonstrate remarkable agency, though their adaptations also underscore the pressing need for structural reforms. The paper concludes by advocating for equitable housing policies, inclusive urban planning, and sustainable suburban development to address the root causes of marginalization and ensure first-tier cities remain accessible, dynamic, and inclusive spaces for all residents.
