Transactional Distance and Interaction in Hybrid Education: a Case Study
Authors: Ottenheim V.L. , Meulenbroeks R. , Drijvers P. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In recent years, hybrid education has gained attention for teaching and interacting with two groups simultaneously, where both teachers and students face challenges with interaction. We hypothesise that transactional distance plays a role in this. This study, aims to explore the characteristics of hybrid education in terms of interaction and transactional distance. In this case study, we observed four hybrid lectures of a university course on the history of physics. After each lecture, the students (N = 6) completed a transactional distance survey and students and teachers participated in individual semi-structured interviews. Our findings indicate that online students experienced limited engagement in group discussions, mainly asking for clarification when teachers asked questions. Moreover, online students experienced a greater transactional distance compared to their onsite counterparts. This disparity in engagement and perceived distance may stem from the online students’ inability to partake in the informal interactions occurring before, during, and after the lectures. Both students and teachers stressed the importance of this small talk when discussing the differences between online and onsite students. In conclusion, our research underscores the essential role of informal interactions in hybrid education, highlighting the need to facilitate these exchanges to build community and enhance learning.
Focused Impedance Method (FIM-6) in localized lung ventilation study of the human body in a local setting
Authors: Khanal Trilochan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Focused Impedance method (FIM), an innovation by Dhaka University, Bangladesh, is a new technique for focusing a region of interest of a volume conductor through a simple enhancement of the age-old Tetra-Polar Impedance Method (TPIM). This innovation has potential in the diagnosis of different kinds of physiological disorders.
This paper presents the study of lung ventilation on different human subjects using the six-electrode version of the Focused Impedance Method (FIM-6) with the circuit indigenously designed in Nepal. The study was carried out for different quadrants of the lungs of three normal male subjects using both TPIM and FIM-6 configurations, measuring the percentage change in transfer impedance between full inspiration and full expiration. The percentage changes observed were in the range of 15% to 27%. However, errors are expected due to movement of the heart and other organs between inspiration and expiration, which may be difficult to eliminate.

Abstract
Cross denars, frequently found in Polish hoards, were traditionally thought to be Ag coins with some Cu content. This study investigates the possibility of a hidden Cu core beneath the Ag or Ag–Cu surface of these coins. It raises questions about whether they were counterfeits or intentionally designed for mass production. Unlike Roman denarii, which revealed their cores when broken, the examination of cross denars without damage is challenging. Optical microscopy and microanalysis revealed differences in the composition of early medieval Polish coins, challenging the belief that cross denars were homogeneous Ag–Cu alloys. Detailed spectroscopic analyses, including energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), micro X-ray fluorescence (μXRF), and microparticle-induced X-ray emission (μ-PIXE) measurements, were conducted. These analyses of two cross denars uncovered one composed of an Ag–Cu alloy and another manufactured by plating a Cu–Zn core with an Ag sheet. This suggests the need for further research in the history and technology of minting in Poland in the Early Middle Ages. It also prompts a reconsideration of the applicability of noninvasive X-ray techniques for archaeological examinations.

Authors: Sant’Ana Maria Angélica Kramer , Gadioli Monica Castoldi Borlini , Aguiar Mariane Costalonga de 
Published: February 2025

Objective: To characterize the clays of the state of Espírito Santo and evaluate their physical-chemical and mineralogical properties, in order to identify their potential for industrial applications, especially in the manufacture of ceramic materials. In addition, we sought to propose improvements in the beneficiation processes, if necessary, to optimize the performance of these materials in different applications.

Theoretical Framework: In Brazil there are about 6903 ceramic factories, with an annual turnover of 18 billion, and this is very important for the country because it indicates the industrial and demographic growth. In the state of Espírito Santo there are seventy industries in the red ceramic segment, in the poles of the south central and north center of the state, with clay being the main raw material for the production of red ceramics. Although they have not yet been studied in depth, it is known that the clays of Espirito Santo state are predominantly kaolinite and quartz. And, the characterization of clays is of great importance for the ceramic industry, because the properties of the clays influence the formation of the final ceramic product.

Method: For this work, the physical, chemical and mineralogical characterization of the clays was hit carried out. The clays were submitted to X-ray diffraction tests, X-ray fluorescence chemical analysis, density, particle size analysis and plasticity. The plasticity was determined according to the Atterberg method.

Results and Discussion: The results showed high percentage of Al2O3, low levels of alkali oxides and high loss on ignition. The high loss on ignition indicates a high fraction of clay minerals. The main crystalline phases identified were quartz and kaolinite. It is of great importance to know the characteristics of the clays, as it will be possible to use other raw materials that can lead to the increase of the flux oxides in the ceramic mass and consequently to improve the properties of the final product.

Research implications: Characterize two types of clay from the State of Espírito Santo used as raw material for the production of red ceramic with the purpose of verifying the clay's potential for this purpose, contributing to the development of the sector.

Originality/value: The work contributes to identifying the potential of the state's clays, helping to make more assertive decisions regarding their use in the manufacture of ceramics. If necessary, it also proposes improvements to optimize their properties and expand their applications.

Authors: Mesquita Alexandre Luiz Amarante , Nunes Joicy Beatriz de Souza , Corrêa Glenda Helena Nunes , Pimentel Márcia Aparecida da Silva , Silva Cláudio Moisés Santos e 
Published: February 2025

Objective: This study analyzes the shoreline evolution of main beaches of Soure, Marajó Island, over a 33-year period. Furthermore, it projects future shoreline changes under two climate change scenarios.

Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework consists of a presentation of the study area, a description of the method that analyzes the dynamics of the shoreline over past data, and the method that projects the future evolution of the shoreline according to different RCPs (Representative Concentration Pathways).

Method: The model developed by Luijendijk et al. (2018) was employed to evaluate the shoreline evolution of the beaches. This model provides a global-scale assessment of sandy shoreline dynamics through a fully automated analysis of 33 years of satellite imagery. Vousdoukas et al. (2020) model was used to predict the evolution of the coastline on beaches throughout this century under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5.

Results and Discussion: The results indicate that Barra Velha and Pesqueiro beaches are undergoing coastal erosion, with their shorelines progressively retreating over time. Simulations under climate change scenarios suggest that shoreline retreat on these Soure’s main beaches will intensify, especially under the RCP 8.5 scenario. Conversely, Garrote beach, located close to the urban area of Soure, is experiencing accretion.

Research Implications: The implications of this research are discussed, providing crucial information for municipal and state authorities to recognize this escalating issue and implement measures to mitigate its impact on tourism and other economic activities.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the high rates of erosion on Soure's two main beaches and offers critical insights for policymakers to implement strategies that safeguard the region's tourism viability.

The Importance of Universities in Training Engineers Committed to the Sustainable Cause
Authors: Lamarão Ana Paula , Figueiredo Marco Antonio Gaya de , Corrêa Harrison Lourenço 
Published: February 2025

Objective: This paper aims to address the best practices related to the teaching, training, and education of engineering professionals whose projects should be guided by their environmental impact and their sustainable character.

Theoretical Background: This section presents the main issues associated with the need for education and teaching on sustainability in universities, and in particular, in engineering courses.

Method: This research was based on the collection and reading of academic articles collected from the ScienceDirect and Google Scholar databases. The keywords 'universities' and 'sustainability', with spellings in English, were associated.

Results and Discussion: The results indicate an increase in academic publications on sustainability in higher education institutions, particularly since 2015. Although this increase is also observed in the engineering areas, the average is still lower than the total number of publications in other areas of knowledge, such as environmental sciences and energy.

Research Implications: The presented study reinforces the urgency in adopting curricula in engineering courses in Brazil that are updated and related to environmental sustainability.

Originality/Value: The period of climate change that the world is going through is undeniable. Changes in rainfall patterns, long periods of drought, desertification, and sandstorms are some of the most evident effects. All of them, in some way, are related to the linear mode of production and consumption, in which the disorderly and poorly planned extraction of existing natural resources is privileged. However, this current model is not capable of sustaining itself over time. Production alternatives must be researched and developed, allowing for the emergence of new production techniques and the improvement of existing ones, so that natural resources are conserved with less waste generation. Petrochemical, mineral extraction and refining, pulp and paper, and polymer processing units are examples of sectors that need to readjust to the concepts of sustainability and the sustainable development goals established by Agenda 2030. However, for the main points of change to be implemented, it is necessary to guarantee appropriate training for engineers. The precepts of environmental sustainability must be incorporated into their classical training, so that a new generation of professionals includes in their projects and research parameters aligned with the current and future demands of a planet that yearns for positive changes. In this sense, this article brings important reflections on this theme and the need to update engineering courses in Brazil..
Stories from the Botanical Underground
Authors: Saville Dara 
Published: February 2025

Plants are intelligent keepers and communicators of more-than-human knowledge. Their stories relate the agency of place and plants, showing us how to live where we are, what it means to contribute to the continuance of life, and how to collaborate with nonhuman others in resilient place-making. Botanical storytelling reaffirms people-plant relations, reimagines human relationships with the land, and intervenes in prevailing social and environmental narratives. Stories from the Botanical Underground, presented at the 2023 American Association of Geographers conference, relates the ecological-social lives of betony (Pedicularis), globemallow (Sphaeralcea), and vervain (Verbena) and the knowledge they hold for navigating socio-environmental challenges. This collection of stories intends to de-center human impositions of colonial power upon botanical landscapes and re-center the teachings of place and plants on a damaged planet. In this research, medicinal plants themselves are recognized as primary contributors of knowledge. [...]
