Anselm of Canterbury and the Search for God
Authors: Slotemaker John T.
Published: February 2025

This volume provides a broad interpretation of Anselm’s theological method through a study of his Monologion. The Monologion has been chosen specifically because of its rich and nuanced account of the search for the one God. Through a careful analysis of this text what becomes evident is that Anselm’s theological project is much broader than a single argument or a simple account of how divine justice and honor are appeased. What one encounters is a theology informed by the notion of the human desire for God and the honest search to come to know God in an intimate way. The Monologion, therefore, will present an entry point into Anselm’s theological project. The second half of the volume will examine the reception history of Anselm’s two most famous philosophical and theological contributions (i.e., the “ontological argument” and the “satisfaction theory”). Anselm is often misunderstood because his approach to theology is reduced to the “one argument” or a carefully construed calculus of human redemption—such readings of Anselm abound and often obscure the Benedictine context within which his thought developed—and so a careful reading of Anselm’s texts and the history of reception and interpretation will offer a counter narrative to the standard perception of one of the greatest thinkers of Christian history.
Philo of Alexandria's Ethical Discourse
Authors: Naveros Córdova, CDP Nélida
Published: February 2025

Philo of Alexandria’s Ethical Discourse: Living in the Power of Piety proposes a fresh approach to better understand Philo’s ethics exploring the virtue of piety. In this exceptionally well-researched book, Nélida Naveros Córdova analyzes five major uses of piety in Philo’s treatises— piety and the Decalogue; piety as a foundational virtue; piety as the opposite of impiety; the practice of piety, and the relationship between piety and love of humanity. Naveros carefully examines each of these five uses within both the Hellenistic Jewish and Greek philosophical traditions, focusing particularly on piety’s primary role in Philo’s teaching about the acquisition of virtues and the avoidance of vices. Naveros argues that in his ethical discourse, Philo incorporates language familiar in ancient Greek philosophical ethical systems to attribute qualities and powers to the virtue of piety. This book illustrates the way Philo moves beyond both Hellenistic Jewish and Greek philosophical traditions by comprehensively showing how he develops the place of piety, from being a subordinate virtue in Greek catalogue of virtues to becoming a foundational virtue. Naveros brings evidence from ancient Greco-Roman and major Hellenistic Jewish texts as well as modern secondary literature in order to argue and support a plausible case for the understanding of Philo’s unique configuration of his own ethical discourse, his view of virtue ethics, and his philosophical stance. To date, this is an original study on Philo’s ethics, and the first to offer the fullest evaluation of piety within the categories of ancient ethical systems.
Suffering As Participation with Christ in the Pauline Corpus
Authors: Davey Wesley Thomas
Published: February 2025

The Pauline letters bear witness to the prominent role that suffering played both in the life of Paul and in the lives of the communities to whom he writes. Startlingly, Paul does not express alarm or frustration at suffering’s presence, but instead identifies it as an essential and defining feature for faithful Christ-followers. Paul grounds his account of suffering in the concept of “participation with Christ.” This book explores the connection forged between suffering and participation by engaging in close readings of texts, resourcing letters usually dismissed because of doubts about authenticity, and pulling together an overall characterization of “Paul’s thought” on the basis of common patterns of reference that emerge. Utilizing a tripartite reading strategy of “exegesis,” “canon,” and “theology” offers nuance for and yields fresh insight into a central Pauline motif.

Transformative Design Frames: A transdisciplinary model to support designing for sustainability transitions
Authors: Peeters Anna-Louisa , Tromp Nynke , Hekkert Paul
Published: February 2025

Sustainability transitions are inherently comprised of wicked problems, requiring new systemic problem-solving approaches that transcend disciplinary boundaries. Design framing is a practice that lies at the core of problem-solving, as it connects a specific problem to a promising solution space. We contribute to transition design research by conceptualising a transformative design frame. Anchored in the fields of design, sustainable behavioural science, and transition studies, our transdisciplinary model is intended to support transition designers in their reasoning and to inspire the development of novel frames to help accelerate sustainability transitions. The model visually organises several building blocks of a design frame: Transition Case, Transition Strategy, Systemic Levers, Behaviour Change, and Worldview. To evaluate our model in various transition design contexts, we held review sessions with three Dutch design agencies, followed by a framework analysis of their responses. The results informed a revision of the model and demonstrated that the model supports designers in building a stronger design rationale, which the designers expected to benefit stakeholder alignment and mobilisation in transition contexts. After engaging with the model, participants intended to adopt a more comprehensive and systematic framing approach in future projects. To bring the model to a higher level of maturity, opportunities for further research involve applying it in practice. As such, we can examine more thoroughly how the model might support reframing and explore which combinations of its components could be most transformative.
NM-polynomial and neighborhood degree-based indices of Some Complex Networks
Authors: Asghar Adnan
Published: February 2025

A topological index is a numerical value derived from the molecular graph structure, widely used to characterize molecular topology and predict chemical, physical, or bio- logical properties. This study presents an in-depth exploration of neighborhood degree- based topological indices within the realm of chemical graph theory, focusing on four diverse molecular structures: the Enhanced Mesh Network, Triangular Mesh Network, Star of Silicate Network, and Rhenium Trioxide Lattice. Employing advanced math- ematical techniques, including the NM Polynomial and calculus operators, in tandem with computational tools like Maple 2020 and MATLAB, we meticulously analyze the structural intricacies and connectivity patterns inherent in each molecular architecture. The calculated topological indices provide a quantitative framework for characterizing the unique graph-theoretical features of these complex molecular systems. Visualization through MATLAB facilitates a nuanced understanding of the molecular topology. This research not only advances the field of chemical graph theory but also opens avenues for tailoring molecular designs with implications for materials science, catalysis, and network analysis

Enhancing Privacy in Artificial Intelligence Services Using Hybrid Homomorphic Encryption
Authors: Jalil Mustafa A
Published: February 2025

The increasing occurrence of cyberattacks specifically aimed at critical infrastructure has led to the adoption of network intrusion detection techniques for the Internet of Things (IoT).  AI is transforming multiple sectors today, the growth of adversarial attacks on AI models and models present imperative privacy issues which hinder its larger implementation. Some of the Privacy-Preserving Artificial Intelligence (PPAI) methods including HE make it possible to secure data during the calculation process. Yet conventional HE techniques experience certain disadvantages at present with applicability to highly scalable and resource-limited applications. Moreover, this paper presents an HHE technique that is designed by integrating symmetric cryptography with HE to overcome the above-mentioned challenges successfully. To this end, we propose the GuardAI framework for end devices with limited resources such that encrypted data can be classified while preserving the privacy of input data and AI models. To show the effectiveness of the HHE, we apply it to the actual problem of heart disease classification based on the easily contaminated ECG signals. In this way, the proposed method maintains the privacy of the data with little computational and communication cost for analysts and devices and has a fairly reasonable level of accuracy in comparison with unencrypted inference. This work therefore provides a foundation for secure and private approach in AI especially for those developed to suit devices and systems with limited resources by incorporating HHE into the PPAI systems.
DeepSeek: Is it the End of Generative AI Monopoly or the Mark of the Impending Doomsday?
Authors: Sallam Malik , Al-Mahzoum Kholoud , Sallam Mohammed , Mijwil Maad M.
Published: February 2025

The rise of superintelligent open-source generative AI (genAI) heralds both extraordinary potential and unprecedented risk, exemplified by the rapid emergence of DeepSeek as a global AI innovator. This perspective article examines the dual-edged nature of open source genAI technologies, highlighting their capacity to democratize innovation while exposing critical vulnerabilities. By providing affordable, high-performing, and openly available models like DeepSeek-R1 and DeepSeek-V3, this Chinese AI company has disrupted the proprietary dominance of Western AI giants. These advancements are expected to empower researchers in resource-limited settings, foster global collaboration, and enable breakthroughs across numerous fields. Open-source AI, as illustrated by DeepSeek, has the potential to redefine the technological landscape by making advanced capabilities accessible to underrepresented communities and encouraging ethical and inclusive innovation. However, the openness that drives such progress is fraught with existential risks. Superintelligent open-source models, accessible to anyone with minimal resources, lower barriers for misuse by malicious actors. From automated cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns to destabilizing critical infrastructures, the potential for harm is vast and unprecedented. Beyond immediate security concerns, these technologies threaten economic stability by displacing entire workforces and exacerbating inequalities, and they undermine human agency by enabling manipulation on an individual and societal level. This perspective seeks to explore the profound benefits of open-source superintelligent AI while critically addressing the urgent need for ethical and regulatory frameworks to mitigate its risks. The story of DeepSeek underscores the fragile balance between innovation and destruction in an era where technological progress outpaces safeguards. Humanity’s ability to harness the transformative power of open-source AI without succumbing to its destructive potential is not just a technological challenge—it is an existential imperative. This perspective argues for vigilance, responsibility, and global cooperation to ensure that the promise of open-source AI serves humanity rather than imperiling it.

Authors: Amer Sarah , Hazim Rania , Kader Wassan
Published: February 2025

Healthcare monitoring Cloud-IoT systems use data mining and machine learning methods to analyse patient data in real-time from linked devices. By offering insights for the early diagnosis of anomalies and individualized treatment suggestions, this strategy improves healthcare management. In this research first the Collect and Load the Clevant Heart Disease Dataset for Data Collection Process. Next, preprocess the loaded data using the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), and then the feature extraction process is done using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Method. In this case, the characteristic must be extracted by feeding a specific column. The classification procedure is then carried out using Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) and an optimization approach called Adaptive Moment Estimation. This is where the model executes GAN operations, and the output will be produced. The data is then transferred to an edge-cloud environment to minimize storage problems and provide instant access to critical data. This process starts with the encryption and decryption of data using Homomorphic encryption with the Laplacian technique. In addition, have taken the generated values from the GAN network as original values and encrypt them using Homomorphic encryption with the Laplacian technique. Next, the routing process is done using the leach protocol to optimize energy consumption and communication efficiency. The leach protocol is used to route among the data to divide the data into clusters and perform energy consumption. Finally, the simulation of this research is conducted by Python – 3.9.6 network simulator, and the performance of the proposed model is estimated based on various performance metrics such as accuracy at 90%, precision at 94%, authentication time, throughput at 90%, and packet delivery ratio with 94% this demonstrated that the suggested effort produced better results both in terms of quantitative and qualitative aspects.

Les colonies d’oiseaux marins nicheurs impactent la physico-chimie des sols ainsi que les communautés végétales sur les îles. Ces écosystèmes insulaires sont caractérisés par des plantes endémiques adaptées aux conditions stressantes (xéricité, salinité, sol superficiel, vent). Plusieurs études ont permis d’évaluer les effets de l’augmentation démographique d’oiseaux marins, mais peu ont réalisé un suivi sur le long terme en prenant en compte leur déclin après explosion démographique. L’objectif de la présente étude (sur 24 ans) a consisté à mesurer les changements physico-chimiques des sols, de la composition des communautés végétales en relation avec la diminution démographique des Goélands leucophées (Larus michahellis Naumann, 1840) sur les archipels insulaires du Frioul et de Riou (Marseille, France). Les enjeux conservatoires de ce contexte insulaire ont été analysés en caractérisant les types fonctionnels des plantes (formes de croissance de Raunkiaer et stratégies de vie de Grime) et en étudiant la variation des plantes à enjeu de conservation, puisque l’apport de nutriments et de polluants, tels que les éléments traces métalliques, via les goélands peut entraîner leur disparition. Pour cela, des analyses de sol (en 1997 et 2021) ainsi que des relevés floristiques (en 1997, 2008 et 2021) ont été réalisés sur 78 placettes permanentes situées sur neuf îles et sur le littoral continental du Parc national des Calanques. Depuis 1997, les teneurs en nitrogène et le pH ont augmenté, alors que le carbone organique ainsi que le rapport C/N ont diminué. En 2021, les mesures des concentrations en éléments traces révèlent des niveaux de contamination relativement faibles sur le continent et les archipels. De 2008 à 2021, les communautés végétales des îles ont été caractérisées par une augmentation du nombre de plantes rudérales. Le déclin des effectifs de Goélands leucophées n’a pas engendré de diminution des plantes tolérantes aux perturbations ni d’augmentation très significative de la flore à enjeu de conservation, mais a entraîné une augmentation des chamaephytes et du recouvrement total de la strate herbacée. Nos résultats suggèrent donc une rémanence des altérations des paramètres des sols ainsi que des communautés végétales toujours rudéralisées. Cependant, une résilience s’opère en termes de recouvrement de la strate herbacée lorsque la pression des goélands diminue.
The 50% Tipping Point: Addressing Doctoral Student Attrition Through Institutional Innovation
Authors: Mensah Faustina
Published: February 2025

Doctoral attrition is a well-known issue, and stakeholders constantly seek solutions to minimize its occurrence. Reported statistics on doctoral attrition over the past decade have consistently remained at 50% (Artiles & Matusovich, 2020; Jaksztat et al., 2021; Moran, 2017; Van Rooij et al., 2021; Young et al., 2019). Most of these reports suggest that social isolation during the dissertation phase is a primary contributor to attrition rates in doctoral programs. Historically, Golde (2005) perceived doctoral attrition as a paradox because doctoral students, who are academically revered, are consistently failing to complete their graduate education. Several factors contribute to doctoral attrition, including a student’s lack of perseverance, an inability to balance work and academic responsibilities, a lack of interest in pursuing academia as a profession, poor research skills, losing faith in their ability to succeed, and wallowing in self-pity (Council of Graduate Schools [CGS], 2023; Maher et al., 2020; Motseke, 2016; Van Rooij et al., 2021; Young et al., 2019). Although different interventions have been used to create supportive structures, the problem remains persistent.
Public Education Under Attack: The Fight to Preserve the American Dream
Authors: Schlitz Haley
Published: February 2025

Education is the cornerstone of opportunity in America. It builds pathways, changes lives, and holds the promise of a brighter future. For my family, it has been the bridge that carried us from the American Nightmare to the American Dream. But make no mistake: that bridge is under attack. Public education—the very foundation of opportunity in this country—is being dismantled before our eyes. Harmful policies, political agendas, and deliberate disinvestment threaten to sever that lifeline for millions of students. This is not just a political fight; it is deeply personal. As the descendant of both those who came to this country chasing the promise of Ellis Island and those who were brought here in the chains of slavery, I carry the weight of both the American Dream and the American Nightmare. Education has been central to my family’s story, helping us overcome systemic barriers, reclaim our voices, and demand our place in the nation’s progress. Now, as an attorney, an educator, and an advocate for education policy, I see the battles we face today as critical moments in the fight for justice and equity. Public education is not just a pathway to success; it is the backbone of democracy, the safeguard of opportunity, and the key to realizing our collective potential.

The selected instruments were a data collection sheet, observation guide, and questionnaire. At the end it was concluded that the English teaching and learning process constitutes a set of rules and procedures where listening skills must be included, which, being deficient in students, must be improved under the design and application of an educational strategy. The results can be evaluated before and after the execution of the strategy.
Die Welt der Temeswarer Gewölbe zwischen ethnischer Vielfalt, Regeln und Herausforderungen (1716–1778)
Authors:   Academia Română, Filiala Timișoara, Universitatea de Vest din Timișoara, Hirsch Sandra
Published: February 2025

After the peace of Passarowitz, Banat goes through a profound administrative and political change. In 1716–1718, the Ottoman Banat was conquered and included in the structures of the Habsburg Crown. From this moment on, Timișoara was under the attention of the authorities in Vienna, in their attempt to transform this town into a true provincial center. Gradually, the physical reconstruction of the town began, preparing it to accommodate new inhabitants from all over Europe, from monks, members of the garrison and the Administration, master builders, doctors, various craftsmen and merchants, etc. Through the mercantile policy, the authorities wanted a recovery of Timișoara’s economy, so that its basic needs would be covered, as much as possible, by local production and active trade. Certain branches of the economy could not be fully developed, due to the lack of specialists and merchants. Filling this gap in human resources was done by accepting citizens with the necessary job profile. The requests of the merchants and the response of the authorities reflect mercantile and demographic interests, as well as, indirectly, the ideal portraits of these townspeople. The present article traces, based on unpublished documents, examples from the world of shops and merchants from Timișoara, in the wider context of the challenges of commerce in the 18th century, in South-Eastern Europe.
Die rumänische Seele. Gedanken zu Lucian Blagas „Spaţiul mioritic“
Authors:   Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule Heiligenkreuz, Schubert Rainer
Published: February 2025

“Spaţiul mioritic” is one of the most popular works written by Lucian Blaga. It describes the stylistic connection between soul and spatiality in Romanian culture. Due to Blaga’s philosophy this connection is unconscious and forms the basis of every cultural creation. Concerning Romania, the cultural style is formed spatially, like waves. This aspect is based on the characteristic archetype of Romanian folk culture. One has to imagine the typical Romanian shepherd who is wandering over mountains and valleys with his sheep. This imagination deeply influences Romanian poetry, music as well as cultural products of everyday life, like the design of clothes or the rural architecture of farm houses. It should also be noted that Blaga’s popular work was translated into German by Rainer Schubert, the former Austrian cultural attaché in Bucharest. The translation was published by LIT Verlag, Vienna, in the year 2022. The book has already been translated into German by Julius Draser and has been published in the year 1982 by the publishing house Minerva in Bucharest.

Penal provisions of the Water Law: Preventive role in water protection
Authors: Bingulac Nenad , Mitrić Vidoje
Published: February 2025

Environmental protection has been a topical issue for decades. The need for environmental protection and water protection is not only a cultural and civilizational aspect of life, but to a greater extent it can also represent an existential issue. In this research, the issue of penal provisions provided for in the Water Law will be considered. The consideration of the aforementioned is based on the presentation of legislative water protection in a preventive and repressive sense. Therefore, this represents the hypothesis of this research. The goal of the paper is to point out this type of water protection, but also to raise awareness about it. In the paper, special attention will be paid to legal and sub-legal documents that exist in the positive law of the Republic of Serbia, and which at the same time represent a wide range of legislative water protection. Then, in a separate part of this research, the protection of the environment will be pointed out, and will be considered in a concise manner, viewed through the issue of water protection, primarily from the domestic legal aspect, as well as from the aspect of international law, i.e. legislation of the European Union. In the last part of this research, the focus will be on the penal provisions provided for in the Water Law. The aforementioned Law foresees criminal acts, economic offenses and misdemeanors as penal provisions that will be presented in detail, not only with the aim of a closer look, but also in order to raise awareness about them and thus promote prevention in the context of water protection.
Measurement of the Catchment Area of the Rivers of the Kłodzko Basin Using QGIS Software
Authors: Izydorski Jakub
Published: February 2025

Knowledge of the catchment area is essential for hydrological analyses. With it, it is possible to determine the water flow rate at the cross-section enclosing it. Nowadays, measurement is possible thanks to computer techniques that continue to develop in order to determine its area in the most effective way, i.e. as quickly and precisely as possible. The aim of this paper was to investigate the differences in the resulting catchment areas based on the Digital Elevation Model at different resolutions. One method of calculating catchment areas using the QGIS software and its tools is presented, using the example of a section of the Nysa Kłodzka River and its tributaries. The results were compared to plots made available by IMGW, which were treated as baseline data. Attention was paid to what could cause differences in the results obtained and which model would work best for which case.

Ethiopia finds itself at a critical juncture in its attempt to embark on a journey of confronting its violent past through a multi-prong transitional justice process. Despite notable progress in drafting the legal frameworks and the establishment of necessary institutional structures to set the wheels of transitional justice in motion, public trust in the current process remains fragile. The government's current crack down on civil society organizations and media freedom is likely to exacerbate this problem.

A bacia do rio São Francisco é uma das principais bacias hidrográficas brasileiras, com uma extensão territorial que percorre seis estados desde o Sudeste até o Nordeste do país. Seu principal curso d’água, o rio São Francisco, é essencial tanto para atividades industriais quanto para a irrigação agrícola, além de desempenhar um papel significativo no setor hidroelétrico nacional. Dessa forma, a gestão eficaz dos recursos hídricos é crucial para enfrentar secas e enchentes e garantir a produção de energia. Ciente dessa importância, o presente estudo visa contribuir para aprimorar a gestão hídrica por meio do ajuste do Modelo de Grandes Bacias (MGB-IPH), visando a estimativa e previsão de vazões em toda área da bacia. Para realizar a calibração foram utilizados dados de precipitação diária estimados por satélite, gerados pelo produto MERGE do CPTEC/INPE. A bacia foi dividida em 66 sub-bacias para calibração, visando-se uma boa representação das vazões em todas as regiões da bacia. Os resultados comprovaram que o modelo se mostrou muito bom e bom no ajuste da maioria das sub-bacias, com menor desempenho nas regiões semiáridas. De modo geral, o modelo MGB-IPH é uma ferramenta valiosa para a gestão dos recursos hídricos, com potencial para contribuir para um planejamento mais eficaz da disponibilidade hídrica e antecipação de eventos climáticos extremos.

En un mundo globalizado, las dinámicas modernas han relegado expresiones artísticas tradicionales como la danza, afectando la conexión con raíces culturales esenciales para la identidad colectiva. Simultáneamente, desafíos como la disminución de la atención, la memoria y la creatividad en niños y jóvenes han aumentado debido a los estímulos digitales y la falta de actividades significativas. Aunque la danza es reconocida por su impacto positivo en la salud física y emocional, existen pocos estudios detallados sobre su influencia en habilidades cognitivas como la memoria, la atención y la creatividad. Aún se carece de un enfoque específico que explique los mecanismos y estrategias que potencian estos beneficios. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar cómo la danza como expresión cultural impacta el desarrollo cognitivo y proponer estrategias para maximizar sus beneficios en contextos educativos. El estudio adoptó un enfoque cualitativo mediante una revisión de literatura científica. Se recopiló información de artículos, libros e informes técnicos, analizando cómo la danza contribuye al desarrollo cognitivo y cultural de manera integral. La danza se conforma como una herramienta educativa que fomenta habilidades cognitivas, físicas y emocionales, promueve la inclusión y fortalece la identidad cultural. Su integración en contextos educativos potencia su impacto en el desarrollo integral de los individuos y preserva la diversidad cultural.

En los últimos años, la inteligencia artificial (IA) ha revolucionado radicalmente el ámbito educativo al ofrecer herramientas innovadoras que transforman tanto la enseñanza como el aprendizaje. No obstante, la comprensión sobre su impacto específico en la educación universitaria sigue siendo limitada. Por ello, este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar las tendencias emergentes de la IA en la educación superior utilizando un enfoque bibliométrico. Por lo tanto, se recopiló información de la base de datos Scopus mediante una estrategia de búsqueda específica que permitió obtener un total de 4146 documentos para su análisis. Se utilizó el paquete Bibliometrix en R y el software RStudio para procesar y visualizar los datos, lo que identificó patrones en la producción científica, así como los principales actores influyentes y las áreas de investigación predominantes. Los resultados indican un crecimiento exponencial en el número de publicaciones, con un enfoque particular en la aplicación de IA para el aprendizaje personalizado y la automatización de procesos educativos. Además, el análisis temporal de las palabras clave reveló un cambio significativo en las tendencias investigativas, destacando un aumento en la exploración de enfoques basados en machine learning y análisis de datos educativos. Sin embargo, persisten desafíos en la adopción e implementación de esta tecnología en entornos educativos, relacionados con aspectos de seguridad, ética y disponibilidad de recursos. Este estudio proporciona una visión integral sobre el panorama actual de la IA en la educación universitaria e información relevante para futuras investigaciones en el campo.

La inteligencia emocional y la creatividad son competencias esenciales para el desarrollo integral y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes, ya que potencian habilidades como la autorregulación, la atención, la memoria, el pensamiento crítico y la resolución de problemas. No obstante, los sistemas educativos tradicionales tienden a subvalorarlas, enfocándose en la memorización en lugar de promover un aprendizaje significativo y adaptativo. Este estudio resalta que la inteligencia emocional gestiona emociones, mejora la resiliencia y fortalece las relaciones interpersonales, mientras que la creatividad fomenta la flexibilidad cognitiva, el pensamiento divergente y la innovación. Ambas habilidades interactúan de manera sinérgica, promoviendo el desarrollo cognitivo y emocional necesario para enfrentar retos complejos. Por ello, se propone implementar estrategias pedagógicas que integren actividades como la autorregulación emocional, la creatividad aplicada y la resolución de problemas abiertos, promoviendo un aprendizaje dinámico e inclusivo. Además, se recomienda realizar investigaciones longitudinales que analicen el impacto de estas competencias en diversos contextos educativos, considerando también el rol de la tecnología como herramienta para potenciar su desarrollo. Estas acciones contribuirían al diseño de modelos educativos innovadores y más inclusivos, asegurando que los estudiantes estén preparados para los desafíos del futuro y el entorno profesional actual.
