Bridging taste and health: the role of machine learning in consumer food selection
Authors: Adhikari Saroj , McFadden Brandon R. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Navigating the modern food landscape is complex, often leading consumers to make suboptimal dietary choices due to information, time constraints, and psychological vulnerabilities. Machine learning (ML) presents a promising solution to enhance the contemporary grocery shopping experience by providing personalized dietary recommendations tailored to individual preferences and characteristics. Traditional methods of dietary guidance cannot account for nuanced consumer characteristics and preferences. In contrast, ML algorithms can incorporate specific information about individuals and continuously adapt to provide personalized recommendations, considering factors like historical eating habits, socio-demographics, nutritional requirements, etc. This paper explores the potential value of ML in enhancing personalized dietary recommendations, focusing on personalization at scale and sustained behavior modification. Additionally, it discusses how retailers can integrate ML into the shopping experience to offer customized recommendations based on consumer and inventory data. Future innovations, such as incorporating biometric data, further enhance the precision of personalized recommendations and support ‘Food is Medicine’ programs. By doing so, ML can offer opportunities for retailers to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty by providing personalized recommendations aligned with consumer-centric marketing strategies. By guiding consumer food choices, ML recommendations can potentially improve shopping experiences and benefit consumers and retailers.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the implementation of mathematics learning based on the unity of sciences in Islamic senior high schools. This qualitative research with a case study design collected data through in-depth interviews, observations, surveys, and documentation at MA Yaspia Ngroto Gubug Grobogan. The subjects of this study were five respondents consisting of three grade X students, one grade X mathematics teacher, and one principal. The study results indicate that mathematics learning based on the unity of sciences has significant benefits, such as integrating various disciplines, making learning more relevant and interesting, and creating a dynamic and interactive learning environment. However, several major challenges are faced, including teacher competence, limited resources, less flexible curriculum, and student adaptation to new learning methods. To overcome these challenges, the study found several strategies that can be applied, namely intensive and ongoing training for teachers, provision of adequate resources, development of flexible curriculum, formation of learning communities between teachers of various disciplines, and implementation of teaching strategies that facilitate student transitions. For further research, it is recommended to expand the scope of the study by involving more schools and respondents from various regions. The use of a wider variety of research methods, such as quantitative surveys, classroom observations, and in-depth case studies, can also provide richer and more comprehensive data.

Published: January 2025

OBJECTIVE
Subtypes of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) based on insulin sensitivity and secretion have been described. We addressed the hypothesis that GDM subtypes are differentially associated with newborn and child anthropometric and glycemic outcomes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Newborn and child (age 11–14 years) outcomes were examined in 7,970 and 4,160 mother-offspring dyads, respectively, who participated in the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) study and HAPO Follow-Up Study. GDM was classified as insulin-deficient GDM (insulin secretion &lt;25th percentile with preserved insulin sensitivity), insulin-resistant GDM (insulin sensitivity &lt;25th percentile with preserved insulin secretion), or mixed-defect GDM (both &lt;25th percentile). Regression models for newborn and child outcomes included adjustment for field center, maternal BMI, and other pregnancy covariates. Child models also included adjustment for child age, sex, and family history of diabetes.

RESULTS
Compared with mothers with normal glucose tolerance, all three GDM subtypes were associated with birth weight and sum of skinfolds &gt;90th percentile. Insulin-resistant and mixed-defect GDM were associated with higher risk of cord C-peptide levels &gt;90th percentile. Insulin-resistant GDM was associated with higher risk of neonatal hypoglycemia. Insulin-resistant GDM was associated with higher risk of neonatal hypoglycemia and childhood obesity (odds ratio [OR] 1.53, 95% CI 1.127–2.08). The risk of childhood impaired glucose tolerance was higher with insulin-resistant GDM (OR 2.21, 95% CI 1.50–3.25) and mixed-defect GDM (OR 3.01, 95% CI 1.47–6.19).

CONCLUSIONS
GDM subtypes are differentially associated with newborn and childhood outcomes. Better characterizing individuals with GDM could help identify at-risk offspring to offer targeted, preventative interventions early in life.

Contemplating Interfaith Pastoral Counseling for The Spiritual Well-Being of Transwomen in The Seruni Community, Yogyakarta
Authors: Andalas Mutiara , Suciari Klara Gambacorta Larassati 
Published: January 2025

The foundation of this study is the problem of social and spiritual orphanhood that transwomen in Yogyakarta's Seruni Community encounter as a result of social and spiritual exclusion. It is vital and urgent to contemplate interfaith pastoral counseling for the psychological and spiritual well-being of transwomen. The purpose of this qualitative study is to determine (1) how the transwoman community manages psychological and spiritual crises brought on by social and spiritual exclusion before getting interfaith pastoral counseling? (2) how does interfaith pastoral counseling contribute significantly to the psychological and spiritual well-being of transwomen? Transwomen going through spiritual and psychological orphanhood in Yogyakarta's Seruni Community served as the research subjects for this qualitative study. The study's findings indicate that (1) the transwoman community is marginalized in terms of both social and spiritual circles. Trans women pursue psychological and spiritual well-being through the communities they build before obtaining interfaith pastoral treatment. (2) Faith communities are contemplating interfaith pastoral counseling as a pastoral response to transwomen who are experiencing both psychological and spiritual orphanhood. Transwomen's psychological and spiritual well-being can be greatly enhanced by interfaith pastoral counseling, allowing them to fully flourish as persons and transform as believers.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article examines the motivation of adults with intellectual disabilities who participate in the “Come to College!” regular educational program. This program has been implemented at the Department of Social Work and Special Education of the Faculty of Science, Humanities and Education of the Technical University of Liberec by teachers in tandem teaching together with their students since March 9, 2023. The activation program follows the trend of sustainable lifelong learning. It mainly aims to increase motivation to learn, continuous development of cognitive abilities, social interaction, and strengthening self-awareness in people with intellectual disabilities. The research is based on the reflections of these individuals in their second year of regular attendance at the university. In this paper, we present a qualitative research investigation conducted as a focus group to determine the views of adults with intellectual disabilities involved in the “Come to College!” program about education and also to define the factors that influence these people’s motivation to learn from their own perspective. The data collected were coded using thematic analysis and evaluated in the context of the three pre-defined research questions.
Participation in Structural Change – Understanding Social Innovations in Lusatia from a Life-World Perspective
Authors: Jukschat Nadine , Erhard Franz , Socha Emilia 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article focuses on understanding social innovations in Lusatia from a life-world perspective. Ethnographic case studies in two small towns explore people’s perspectives on transformation, particularly its impact. The analysis critically assesses the concept of social innovation, revealing implicit, often unreflected assumptions. Drawing on sociological perspectives, the article challenges notions of intentional change management and normative progress, instead emphasizing the complexity of social practices. It suggests that promoting social innovations requires nuanced understanding and context sensitivity for local communities, acknowledging diverse experiences shaping responses to change.

In a given societal condition, finance plays a crucial role in understanding socio-economic and emotional factors. The article aims to understand the fundamental aspects of decision-making skills across adulthood within the crossroads of understanding the elements of finance, cognitive abilities, behavioral responses, and beliefs while executing an action. Lastly, the article is an ongoing thesis and will be continuing with research which will eventually be supported by data collection, thus helping us understand human behavioral system.
Bio-Waste in Reverse Logistics - Various Size Cities on the Example of South-Eastern Poland
Authors: KOC-JURCZYK Justyna , JURCZYK Łukasz , PODOLAK Agnieszka 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The circular economy (CE) aims to keep the maximum value of products and materials in a closed loop for longer periods, thus decoupling the use of natural resources from economic growth. Reverse logistics in the management of municipal biowaste falls within the scope of CE activities. This study compares the mass of bio-waste collected separately to the mass forecast at various administrative levels in Poland: country, voivodeship, cities with over 50 thousand inhabitants, and cities under 50 thousand inhabitants. Discrepancies were found between the collected mass of bio-waste and its predicted mass, which may be due to several reasons. Firstly, rural residents often use bio-waste for their own household needs. Additionally, in rural areas, due to the dispersion of buildings, the cost of obtaining the same amount of bio-waste is much higher compared to more urbanized areas. Processing bio-waste into organic fertilizer is a process that meets the assumptions of a circular economy and creates an environmentally friendly product. Unfortunately, in the case of Poland, there is no data on collected bio-waste earlier than 2019. There is also no information on the mass of biologically managed bio-waste at all administrative levels. Therefore, reporting on the management of municipal bio-waste at all administrative levels should be improved. The work also discusses the issue of collection and management of bio-waste, taking into account logistics processes.
Application of functional analysis in dendrometry using five-year growth of selected dendrometric traits of scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)
Authors: Zawieja Bogna , Kaźmierczak Katarzyna , Slebioda Laura 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The differentiation between age classes of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) was analyzed with regard to the five-year increment of seven traits: height growth (zh5), diameter growth at breast height (zd5), cross-sectional area growth at breast height (zg5), volume growth (zv5), volume growth intensity coefficient (i5), and slenderness (s). Measurements were made in five periods for 24-year-old trees and six periods for 33-year-old trees, all growing in fresh mixed coniferous forest sites. Repeated measures data analysis was conducted separately for all traits. Multivariable functional data analysis (FDA) was proposed to compare age classes of trees. The functional variables which resulted from this analysis can be used, as data, in many analyses (designate functions representing each of trees, FPCA – functional principal component analysis, FLDC – discriminant analysis, permutation analysis of variance). The results of the above analyses revealed significant differences between age groups. Furthermore the functions and FPCA were used to detect outliers. This procedure had not previously been used for such a purpose. FPCA explained 55% of the total variance, with the first two components clearly separating the groups. The study showed that 33-year-old trees exhibit stable growth, while 24-year-old trees show greater variability, highlighting the impact of age on growth dynamics. Permutation analysis of variance confirmed significant growth differences between the groups. The findings highlight the importance of age as a factor influencing tree growth and demonstrate the effectiveness of the multivariable FDA approach for analyzing such data.
Dynamics of Visuomotor Functions in the Aging Process: Analysis of Visual Path Speed
Authors: Kazubowski Paweł , Dośpiał Marcin , Kazubowska Katarzyna 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study investigates age-related changes in visuomotor functions by analyzing gaze path velocity (pixels per second). The research included 50 participants aged 7 to 83 years, divided into four groups: children (7–14 years), young adults (19–39 years), middle-aged adults (45–58 years), and older adults (62–83 years). Eye movements were tracked during a visual scanning task. Statistical analyses, including one-way ANOVA, post-hoc Tukey HSD tests, and effect size calculations (η&sup2;), evaluated group differences.
Significant differences in gaze path velocity were found across groups. Children had an average velocity of 150.44 px/s, serving as a baseline. Young adults showed a substantial increase (365.97 px/s), and middle-aged adults reached the highest velocities (423.48 px/s), indicating peak visuomotor function. Older adults demonstrated a decline (256.15 px/s), reflecting age-related neuroplasticity reductions.
A nonlinear trajectory, modeled by a second-degree polynomial equation (R&sup2; = 0.89), peaked at age 46.3 years (Vmax = 406.03 px/s). This pattern reflects rapid growth in childhood, stabilization in middle age, and decline in later life.
The findings underscore the importance of age-specific interventions, optimized user interfaces, and neurodegenerative diagnostics. Future studies should expand on sample size and consider health and lifestyle factors to enhance understanding of visuomotor variability.
The production of olive-growing knowledge in Portugal: Ancestry, science, and landscape
Authors: Monteiro Patricia 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article examines the olive tree as an aspect of the Portuguese landscape. After considering the notion of landscape as a concept, it traces references to olive tree cultivation and olive oil production, particularly within the Iberian context, from Antiquity through the twenty-first century. It argues that these practices form an important and understudied in the history of knowledge transmission, particularly what has been lately termed “artisanal knowledge.” It likewise points to the potential present-day value of recovering traditional practices for the future of industries connected to the olive tree in Portugal.
Teacher research on changing the concept of English language teaching
Authors: Ostradický Peter , Kostrub Dušan , Kšiňanová Marína , Hradská Lucia 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The presented research conducted at the Faculty of Medicine at Comenius University in Bratislava within the English language course elaborates on the issue of changes in teaching concepts. The research problem was identified based on a specific teaching experience, which indicates that a behavioural approach to teaching and learning is primarily applied in English language classes at the Faculty of Medicine at Comenius University in Bratislava. The concept of constructionist teaching was used, and through qualitative phenomenological research, the student’s perspective on the implemented changes in the teaching process was examined. Focus group tools and phenomenological interviews were used to collect research material. In analysing the research material, the strategy of applying the constant comparison method was utilised. The research sample consisted of 26 students who interpreted their experience with the changed teaching concept, emphasising terms like chaos and fear of the new in their statements. The authors of the study comment on probable causal relationships and point out what is hypothetically possible in the teacher-didactics-learner relationship. Through their research activities, the authors also reflect on currently emphasised intentions, where attention is focused on changes or transformations in teaching strategies, in which the behavioural approach should no longer prevail.
Engaged learners, enhanced vocabulary? A qualitative analysis of Indonesian L2 engagement through self-made video projects
Authors: Kurniawati Lemmuela Alvita , Widodo Pratomo , Andriyanti Erna 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study investigates what L2 learners perceive as the impacts of their engagement through self-made video (SMV) creation on their vocabulary development (VD). Employing a qualitative inquiry, this study involved 12 Indonesian L2 learners attending an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) Vocabulary in Context course at a private university in Indonesia. A semi-structured interview was used to collect the data. The study found that L2 engagement in SMV creation led to repeated-driven retention, contextualisation, and vocabulary comprehension, promoting VD. The findings suggest that L2 engagement in SMV creation promotes high exposure to new vocabulary through planning, researching, scripting, filming, and editing. The findings also indicate the importance of L2 learners’ engagement in the vocabulary learning process, as it fosters the ownership of learning, leading to improved learning motivation and vocabulary knowledge. The study provides implications for L2 instructors and educators, suggesting incorporating SMV creation into language instruction to promote VD, improve long-term retention, and enhance learner engagement and motivation.
