Authors: Gou Hualan 
Published: October 2023

etc. Resulting in new and popular symbols. While these are convenient for young people, but many middle-aged and elderly people are forced to be blind because of these new, unfamiliar and fragmented symbols, making it difficult for them to learn to know and learn to do for sustainable living, discussing the changes in P.C.R through 2013-2023." Our vision is to transform lives through education, recognizing the important role of education as a main driver of development" (Mundial, G.B.&UNICEF, 2016). The middle-aged and elderly can join sustainable development by changing their behaviors and coping with life through education, not just formal education in schools, but also 'modern' adult education( that combines individual and collective experiences in a contextual way) for the technological age, and online course that allow the middle-aged and elderly to increase the accessibility and availability of information, as well as to integrate sustainable knowledge in an easily understandable way. This paper expands on the target group for sustainable education and how to make the information more accessible and acceptable to middle-aged and elderly in new, unfamiliar and fragmented symbols and to educate as a top-down sustainability education for next generation.

Published: October 2023

This study intends to analyze how the adoption of Green Innovation (GI) practices by companies of the industrial sector promotes the development of Green Technologies (GT) and Green Growth (GG) in Developed Countries (DC) and Emerging Countries (EC). The survey sample consisted of 8659 observations from DC industrial companies and 1958 observations from EC companies, from data collected from Thomson Reuters and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Structural Equation Modeling was used for variable relationship analysis. The results pointed out that, in DC, GI practices impacts positively the GT of the countries, but this does not occur with the GG, which are negatively affected by the adoption of GI practices by the companies. On the other hand, in EC, only environmental investments positively affected the development of GT in these countries. And in relation to the GG, the GI practices of Environmental Management and Environmental Policies positively influenced this growth. The survey results contribute to discussions on regional differences in the benefits of green innovation by companies in promoting sustainable development. In addition, it can contribute with possible paths for companies and governments in setting goals to achieve SDG-8, SDG-9 and SDG-10.

Future Actions towards Climate Change: The Role of Threat Perception and Emotions
Authors: Aguilar-Luzón María del Carmen , Carmona Beatriz , Loureiro Ana 
Published: October 2023

This work explores the emotional activation (anxiety, fear, and anger) resulting from the cognitive-emotional process related to the perception of climate change: a) when climate change is considered the result of human action (anthropogenic) and b) when climate change is considered the result of the planet’s natural activity. An experimental study was conducted with 104 participants exposed to two types of messages about the causes of climate change. The results showed that exposure to the anthropogenic influence led to greater perception of threat to humans. Moreover, the participants in the anthropogenic sample expressed more anxiety and anger (negative emotions) than did the participants believing that climate change was due to the planet’s natural activity. Fear was not significant. Additionally, we verified the differential role of emotions, depending on the type of future behavior intention: emotions act as mediators between the perception of future climate threats and future collective pro-environmental behavior action, while the perception of threat acts directly on future individual pro-environmental behavior intention.
Keywords: Global warming, negative emotions, threat perception, pro-environmental behavior intention.

Published: October 2023

This article delves into the theoretical understanding of the precariat as an emerging social class, which challenges the established norms of economic life. As modern society undergoes constant changes in its social structure, the concept of precariat has gained prominence in scientific discourse. However, despite its significance, the precariat remains inadequately defined, with various interpretations and debates surrounding its characterization. The primary objective of this research is to define the precariat, outline its distinctive attributes, and explore its role in contemporary society. Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant scientific literature, the authors aim to highlight the risks and challenges posed by the precariat to the sustainable development of society, with a particular focus on its impact on the economic realm. This article sheds light on the precariat’s origins, its position in the social structure, and its defining characteristics. It becomes evident that the precariat’s definition remains controversial, with different countries offering distinct interpretations of the concept. One significant factor contributing to the emergence of the precariat is the transition towards a new societal paradigm with novel social configurations. This class is characterized by its lack of stability, precarious employment conditions, absence of social benefits, insecure rights, and a sense of alienation not only from labor but also from society as a whole. Furthermore, the precariat predominantly occupies the lowest income positions within the social hierarchy. The precarious and vulnerable position of the precariat renders it susceptible to manipulation by other social actors for their own interests. Additionally, precariat groups may rise against their own circumstances. Failure to address the challenges faced by the precariat could lead to the evolution of a “dangerous class” within society, potentially instigating radical transformations in social life. In conclusion, this article provides an in-depth exploration of the precariat as a novel social class, shedding light on its defining features and its implications for modern society. Understanding the precariat’s role is essential for devising strategies to mitigate its risks and challenges, ensuring a more sustainable and equitable economic space for all. By addressing the vulnerabilities and uncertainties faced by the precariat, societies can strive for a future where opportunities are equitably distributed, contributing to the overall development and progress of humanity as a whole. The findings of this research contribute to a better understanding of the precariat's role as an anomic vector of the shadow economy and its potential challenges and threats to sustainable development in contemporary societies.

Authors: Gay Sean Eric Kil Patrick , Tat Cristina R. 
Published: October 2023

This study will detail how a Sustainable Development Goals-centered English for Academic Purposes (EAP) curriculum was created and implemented at a Japanese university. In 2019, a school of policy studies at a university in Western Japan decided to revamp its undergraduate and graduate curricula to focus on offering most courses in English. Students wishing to pursue courses in International Affairs, Public Policy, and Media Studies would have to be able to write, speak, and attend lectures delivered in English with minimal Japanese language support. To prepare students, the first two years of their undergraduate studies they must enroll into a rigorous EAP program focused on the themes of the Sustainable Development Goals. The program seeks to achieve lateral as well as vertical integration of the four skills Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. This paper will explain the curriculum development process, as well as discuss the successes and failures after one year of implementation. The focus will be on how an increase in socially relevant content, the SDGs, was perceived by students and teachers and how it affected students’ academic development.

Authors: Mokhtar Intan Azura , Chong Ethan Yih Tng , Jusuf Steve Kardinal 
Published: October 2023

In recent years, learning about sustainable development and sustainability has become an increasingly significant component in universities’ degree programs and curricula. As the world races to achieve the 17 United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs) by the year 2030 and abide by the framework proposed by the Paris Agreement ratified in 2015, our educational landscapes have simultaneously evolved. In universities, lessons in and opportunities for sustainable development and sustainability have redefined the university curricula and set the trajectory for our young people to take the lead in co-creating solutions for a better world. In this paper, background information of Singapore, a small city-state in Southeast Asia, is first presented, against the backdrop of how the nation’s national constraints that are aligned to the UN SDGs have shaped its national agenda and national education, including its higher education landscape. This is followed by a brief discourse of curriculum initiatives that revolved around themes of sustainable development and sustainability in a young university in Singapore. These initiatives and projects were driven by the desire to provide a university education that is relevant and able to address current local, regional, and global demands, and carried out with interdisciplinarity and sustainability as beacons.

Students Experience Using Learning Factory at the Faculty of Industrial Management
Authors: Maarof Mohd Ghazali , Bohari Muhammad Zam Zahari 
Published: October 2023

One of the issues faced by the industry internationally is a lack of skilled workers to meet growing industrial demands. To satisfy the demanding requirements of the manufacturing industry in such a scenario, both the educational content and didactical methodologies need to be enhanced. However, the university and other higher education institutions do not currently use training and teaching strategies that prepare students for employment in the industrial sector. The learning factory concept can be introduced to the institution to resolve this problem. The learning factory technique mixes business activities with the educational process. This study evaluates the student’s perception in using the learning factory concepts at the Universiti Malaysia Pahang, a Malaysian public university located in Pahang, Malaysia. A qualitative research method was employed, and data was collected by interviewing six undergraduate students who had used the learning factory for their lean manufacturing subject. The interview took place at the end of the semester using a structured, open-ended interviewing questions technique. According to the study, the learning factory has four primary advantages which are increase students' interest in TVET topics, boost their level of soft skills, increase their comprehension, and offer tools to help them retain knowledge. The findings of this study can be used to provide new suggestions for lecturers, instructors, or higher education institution administration on how to make teaching students simpler and more engaging using learning factory concept. Future research should study the relationship between learning factory infrastructure, instructional approaches, with student performance.

Published: October 2023

Objectives
The incidental diagnosis of nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenomas (NFPMAs) is becoming more prevalent with the spread of modern brain imaging techniques. We sought to uncover new data about their natural history and surgical outcome.

Design
This is a retrospective single-center observational study.

Methods
Among 210 patients seen for a NFPMA between 2010 and 2019, 70 (33%) were discovered incidentally (i-NFPMA). We analyzed outcomes in a total of 65 patients with available follow-up data.

Results
Mean age at diagnosis (± s.d.) was 60 ± 14 years and mean maximal diameter was 20.0 ± 7.3 mm. At diagnosis, 29 patients (45%) had pituitary hormone deficits (LH/FSH 41%, TSH 29%, ACTH 15%) and 12% had visual field deficits. 26 patients underwent initial surgery, while 12 had delayed surgery after initial surveillance. In the surveillance group, the risk of tumor growth was estimated at 10%/year. Patients with hormonal deficits at diagnosis experienced earlier growth at 24 months (P < 0.02). Overall, surgical resection of the i-NFPMA led to stable or improved endocrine function in 91% of patients, with only 6% postoperative permanent diabetes insipidus. Moreover, surgery was more effective in preserving intact endocrine function (10/12) than restoring altered endocrine function to normal (6/22, P = 0.03).

Conclusion
About one-third of NFPMAs are now discovered incidentally and a significant subset may be responsible for unrecognized endocrine and visual deficits. Under surveillance the risk of further tumor growth is significant (10%/year) and seems to occur faster in patients already harboring an endocrine deficit. Early surgical removal before onset of endocrine deficits appears to lead to better endocrine outcome.

Published: October 2023

Maternal mortality is one of the significant burdens requiring appropriate measures including family planning methods to control post-partum morbidity and mortality. The early age of marriage among women is accompanied by early pregnancies also contributes to maternal mortality. Knowledge about contraceptive usage could prevent such incidences. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and perception regarding contraceptives among medical interns in our college. This cross-sectional questionnaire study was done on 60 house surgeons (interns), at MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, Hoskote, using a validated questionnaire that consisted of 22 questions including MCQs and case scenarios to assess their knowledge, perception, and attitude about contraceptive methods. Data were analyzed in the form of percentages. Among 60 interns, 36 were females and the majority of students were from urban backgrounds. About 73.3% of interns had adequate knowledge about various contraceptive methods and their usage. The interns have a perception that illiteracy, lack of awareness and social, and religious values are major hurdles for contraceptive usage and have an attitude that doctors are most suitable to give information regarding contraceptive methods. Considering medical interns as future physicians and their responsible role in counseling about contraceptive usage in effective family planning, they need to have a positive attitude with fair knowledge and perception about the contraceptive methods which can be achieved by educating them early in their academic carrier.
The Impact of the Gastronomic Norms of Contemporary Mass Culture on Public Catering for Children
Authors: Bali János 
Published: October 2023

AbstractSince the start of the new millennium, there has been a marked turn in nutrition-related ethnographic research in Hungary. Following the reconstruction of the historical and regional processes of change in Hungarian dietary traditions, professional attention has increasingly shifted towards the present day. In this study, I first summarize the most important aspects of contemporary gastronomy and the respective research opportunities, before exploring the question of the relationship between contemporary food culture and public catering for children. The conclusion reached is that public catering for children and the food on offer in school canteens cannot be discussed without an understanding of the changes taking place in contemporary food culture, which in turn cannot be understood without taking into account contemporary social and cultural developments. Until the slowly changing culture of public catering becomes more closely aligned with the rapid changes in eating at home and in restaurants, fewer and fewer children will make use of school canteens, and where they do, they will barely touch the food but prefer to go hungry.

Cumhuriyetin Modern Bir Müziği Olarak Türk Halk Müziği ve Güzel Sanatlar Sisteminde Konumlanışı
Authors: GÜRKAN Barış 
Published: October 2023

Osmanlı Devleti'nin son yüzyılında sosyo-kültürel değişim modeli olarak benimsenen modernleşme, Cumhuriyet döneminde de ülkenin tüm kurumlarıyla birlikte sanatın ve özellikle müziğin modernite kapsamında devlet tarafından şekillendirilmesine sebep olur. Çağın ruhunu paylaşan modernist perspektif, klasik modernleşme teorileri kapsamında, Batı’daki sanat anlayışının olduğu gibi Türkiye’ye getirilerek kurumsallaşmasını ön görür ve kabul eder. Ancak İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası modernizmin sorgulanması, farklı perspektiften inşa edilen modernleşme teorilerini doğurur ve bu yaklaşımlar, modernitenin dünyanın her yerinde aynı deneyimlerle yaşanmadığını gösterir.
Bu perspektiften bakıldığında geleneksel yönü öne çıkarılan icat edilmiş geleneklerin aslında modernite kapsamında inşa edilen modern sistemler oldukları dikkat çeker. Bu modern sistemler de ülkenin deneyimlediği özgün moderniteye göre kurumsallaşır. Ülkenin özgün modernite deneyimleri yalnızca icat edilmiş geleneklere değil, Batı’dan getirilen değer sistemlerine de ülkeye özgü nitelikler kazandırır. Bu ifadeler kapsamında Türk halk müziği, Türkiye’nin deneyimlediği modernite kapsamında üretilen, modern bir icat edilmiş gelenektir denilebilir. Moderniteyi Türk halk müziğinin neredeyse tüm bileşenlerinde okumak mümkündür. Benzer şekilde bugün bildiğimiz şekliyle kavram olarak sanat da tüm değer sistemiyle Batı’dan getirilen modern bir sistemdir ve modernite kapsamında sanat düşüncesi Türkiye’ye özgü bir hale bürünür.
Bu çalışma, Türk halk müziği ve yerel müzikler üzerine akademik ve/veya icraya dayalı çalışmalar yapan pratisyenler odağında yürütülen alan çalışmasındaki katılımcı gözlem ve deneyimlerle elde edilen nitel verilere ve literatür taramasıyla ulaşılan bilgilere dayanmaktadır. Ayrıca bu çalışma, modernite kapsamında inşa edilen Türk halk müziğini, modernitenin ürünü olan -bugünkü bildiğimiz anlamıyla- güzel sanatlar sistemini ve bu ikisinin birbiriyle ilişkisini, Batı-dışı modernlik kavramı kapsamında inceler.
