Authors: Fazal Ayesha
Published: February 2025

Celiac disease is affecting the health and nutritional status of the general population. It is aggravated by using gluten containing food in diet. Prominent gluten free substitutes available in the market are rice, and corn but they can cause inflammation in gut. This study focuses on the assessment of knowledge, attitude, and practices of using sorghum as gluten free cereal from the university and college students of Pakistan. Primary data was collected from the students using a snowball sampling technique. A sample size of 250 was used and a questionnaire was developed for data collection. Data was analysed using SPSS version 21.0 and Pearson chi square test was applied to all the variables to find out the association. Results showed that about half of the population who have the knowledge of celiac disease had the knowledge about gluten free nature of sorghum and its use for their treatment. Among people who have the family history of celiac disease some did not have the knowledge about sorghum. Half of the population either did not know or thinks that sorghum is only available in supermarkets. Out of this half population only 32% knew about the price of sorghum but 47% of population still knew its use to make other food products. Among people having the knowledge of food and nutrition 28% population also did not know about gluten free nature of sorghum. The findings suggest that most of the student population did not have adequate knowledge about sorghum, its availability, and its use in Pakistan.

El manejo de los residuos sólidos urbanos es uno de los principales retos de las sociedades actuales. Conocer las cantidades producidas de residuos permite cuantificar el equipamiento necesario para adquirirse, como camiones recolectores y contenedores. Además, sirven como base de diseño de obras de ingeniería, tales como rellenos sanitarios y plantas de separación. En este trabajo se efectuó un estudio de generación de los residuos sóli-dos urbanos en la cabecera municipal de Chiapilla, Chiapas, con la finalidad de generar información que permita tomar decisiones en materia de manejo de tales residuos. Los trabajos efectuados permitieron determinar las tasas de generación per cápita para la fuente de generación urbana (0.733 kg/hab-día), domiciliaria (0.615 kg/hab-día) y no domiciliaria (0.118 kg/hab-día). Por otro lado, a través del estudio de la composición de residuos sólidos, se determinó que el componente orgánico sigue manteniendo porcentajes altos en el municipio (65.71 %), seguido de otros subproductos tales como plásticos (7.38 %), así como papel y cartón (4.31 %). Con base en los resul-tados obtenidos, se plantearon algunas estrategias de manejo de residuos para el H. Ayuntamiento, que incluyen la modificación de su normatividad local, el planteamiento de campañas de educación ambiental y otras.

The article substantiates the relevance of the problem of formation of creative abilities of adolescents as an effective way of competitiveness of a personality. On the basis of the analysis of scientific literature, the key concepts of the study ‘creativity’ and ‘creative abilities of a personality’ are defined. It is proved that adolescence is sensitive for the development of their creative potential. The diagnostics of the formation of adolescents' creative abilities by selected methods is carried out. The pedagogical conditions that will contribute to the development of this personality trait are determined: the use of technology of psychological and pedagogical support; providing resource opportunities for the development of creativity; motivation of creative thinking; creation of situations that arouse interest; use of group forms of work that contribute to the stimulation of thought, expression of original ideas. The technology of group creative activity is developed and presented, which ensures self-realisation, self-affirmation of the individual on the basis of the manifestation of talents, preferences, inclinations. Group creative activity involves an initial stage where the choice of topic is discussed, ideas are generated, thoughts on the programme of action are expressed, roles are assigned to participants according to their talents, abilities, inclinations, preferences, and the next stages are preparation for the implementation of the planned tasks, and presentation of the plan. The final stage is feedback, where the teenager's creative activity is self-analysed. The result of the formation of creative abilities is the ability to build one's own understanding of the problem, forecasting and solving it, personal success in the context of solving a specific task, taking into account the creative potential of the individual.

It identifies the key characteristics of contemporary approaches to organizing cooperative learning in the United States, namely student-centeredness, flexible group formation, active interaction, and the development of critical thinking and social skills. The critical role of digital platforms in creating interactive environments that merge classical cooperative learning methods with modern digital tools is emphasized. Practical aspects of utilizing tools such as Google Workspace, Miro, Labster, as well as specialized platforms for organizing online collaboration – which provide continuous feedback and monitoring of students' learning activities – are examined. The article further explores how these technologies contribute to the personalization and individualization of the learning process and to the development of essential 21st-century competencies, particularly communication skills, critical thinking, and teamwork abilities. The authors note that contemporary models of cooperative learning serve as a vital means of preparing students for life in a dynamic, technology-oriented society. Finally, the article outlines the prospects for applying the experience of organizing cooperative learning in the United States to the modernization of the Ukrainian education system, considering global trends and the demands of the digital age.
Aspirational Geographies
Authors: Priori Andrea
Published: February 2025

In this article, I deal with young people with Bangladeshi origins who want to remain in Rome in spite of a massive onward migration toward the United Kingdom that involved most of their friends. Based on ethnographic interviews, I show how the same aspirations of social mobility that their parents and many of their peers fulfilled thanks to spatial mobility are now being pursued by these youth through sedentarization processes. Their counternarratives of mobility debunk a dreamlike imaginary of faraway places, shedding light on the role played by structures of opportunities and social positionalities in interconnecting spatial and social (im)mobility, and in creating alternative aspirational geographies, that is, spatial imaginaries that incorporate the opportunities and the desires that people associate with different places.

Supporting Facets of Teamwork and Leadership Skills of Business Students
Authors: Buto Elisabeta
Published: February 2025

Today’s students are tomorrow’s team members and leaders in successful organizations. In the changing environment, the human character is developing and adapting to the new paradigms. Thus, teachers’ role is fundamental in developing the character strengths of students ready for the 21st-century demands. This study investigates how curiosity, creativity, authenticity, perseverance, perspective, capacity for love, social intelligence, self-regulation, gratitude, courage, equity, enthusiasm, and open-mindedness predict students' leadership and teamwork capabilities. The research instrument was defined using an existing open-science inventory from the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP), the Revised Values in Action Character Strength Scales (IPIP-VIA-R). The survey was disseminated among the students of the Faculty of Business, and the respondents completed the questionnaire online. The sample included 355 full-time bachelor’s and master’s students. While leadership and teamwork are closely linked, they exhibit distinct patterns of influence when considering the variables under study. Creativity, courage, curiosity, creativity, open-mindedness, self-regulation, and social intelligence are more strongly correlated with leadership than teamwork, which is primarily underlined by authenticity, capacity for love, equity, enthusiasm, and gratitude. The findings indicate several significant correlations among analyzed personality traits and some gender differences in preferences of character strengths. Therefore, fostering a holistic educational environment and nurturing students’ character strengths require more attention from responsible parties to fulfill the labor market needs of successful leaders and great team members
Macroeconomic Effects of Raising Oil Prices: Insights from Morocco
Authors: Ritahi Oussama , Echaoui Abdellah
Published: February 2025

This study examines the impact of Brent oil price shocks on key economic variables—namely inflation, GDP, exchange rate, trade openness, and unemployment rate using annual data from 1990 to 2022. The results of the study show that the variables considered under this study are cointegrated in the long-run which means that there is a relationship between these variables in the long-run. By employing a vector error correction model (VECM), we analyze the impulse response functions to understand the short- and long-term effects of oil price fluctuations on these economic indicators. Our findings reveal that Brent oil price increases lead to higher inflation and depreciation of the exchange rate, with both effects persisting in the short and long run. Conversely, GDP experiences a consistent negative impact from oil price hikes, suggesting a detrimental effect on economic growth over time. Trade openness shows a positive response, indicating increased trade activity due to rising oil prices. Additionally, the unemployment rate decreases in response to higher oil prices, reflecting a potential reduction in joblessness.

Published: February 2025

Currently, energy production is mainly dependent on fossil fuels and nonrenewable energy. However, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels and employing renewable energy technology is essential for maintaining environmental sustainability and energy security. Despite noteworthy research on foreign financing and renewable energy consumption, few studies have discussed the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and renewable energy generation (REG) that enables such consumption. Thus, this study fills this gap in the literature by applying the generalized method of moments/dynamic panel data (GMM/DPD) estimation technique to determine the impact of FDI on REG in European economies from 2010 to 2022. Based on the results, FDI has a significant and negative impact on REG. The implication of the findings is that policymakers should decide on suitable incentive programs, such as feed-in tariffs, electricity purchase agreements, and renewable project tax credits, in order to redirect FDI from nonrenewable energy sources to the renewable energy sector.

Authors: Effiong Mfonobong Okokon , Hosu Yiseyon Sunday
Published: February 2025

This research examines the interconnection between energy consumption and economic expansion in Central Africa, utilizing advanced econometric methods to guarantee accurate and dependable outcomes. The findings reveal that energy usage and carbon emissions positively impact economic growth, whereas alternative nuclear energy sources have an adverse effect. In contrast, renewable electricity production and agricultural employment showed no significant impact. Notably, a 1% increase in energy consumption yields a 0.4169% rise in economic growth, and a 1% increase in CO2 emissions results in a 0.0669% growth. Cointegration analysis confirmed a long-term equilibrium relationship among these variables at a 1 % significance level, indicating that all the variables are cointegrated. This study contributes to the ongoing discussion on energy consumption, economic growth, and environmental policies, offering robust evidence of their dynamic interplay. The results align with existing research, providing fresh insights and informing policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders about the intricate relationships between energy use, growth, and environmental sustainability in Central Africa.

This research is motivated by the increase in energy consumption in the Indonesian household sector, especially on the island of Java, which contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Although the government has implemented an energy-saving label policy, the adoption of energy-saving appliances still needs to be higher. The main problems identified include low consumer awareness of the long-term benefits, high perception of initial costs, and lack of effective information dissemination. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect consumer intentions in switching to energy- efficient appliances using the Push-Pull-Mooring (PPM) theory. Environmental consciousness functions as a push factor, social media, energy-saving labels, Curiosity as a pull factor, and technology compatibility as a mooring factor. A quantitative survey was conducted on 310 households in Java, and the data was analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results show that environmental consciousness and Curiosity influence consumers’ intention to switch, while technology compatibility strengthens adoption decisions. In addition, social media and energy labels directly increase consumer curiosity about energy-efficient appliances. The implications of this study include strategic recommendations for governments and marketers to increase awareness campaigns and financial incentives and leverage social media to accelerate the adoption of sustainable technologies in the household sector.

The following paper explores an impact green economic growth, renewable energy consumption, and industrialization have on food security in Central Asian countries, namely Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. We used a POLS model to analyze relationships between selected factors and food security based on panel data for the period between 2001 and 2020, including variables such as the share of renewable electricity, green economic growth, level of industrialization, and arable land area. The results showed a positive impact green economic growth and industrialization have on food security in Central Asia, while renewable energy also contributes to its strengthening, although requires balanced resource management to prevent competition with agriculture. Country-by-country analysis has revealed some differences: Kazakhstan is facing the challenges of transitioning from fossil fuels, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan depend on international cooperation to implement renewable energy projects, Turkmenistan, despite having large natural gas reserves, needs to diversify energy resources, and Uzbekistan must find a balance between water resource management and energy needs in the face of a growing population. Results highlight the need for a tailored approach with policy recommendations including increased investment in green technologies, agricultural modernization support, energy industry’s balanced development, and international cooperation for sustainable development and food security promotion in Central Asia.
