The INCOLTS framework (Innovative Cooperative Open-Learning in Technology-Enhanced Science Education) is an example of an integrative tool designed to explore how emerging educational technologies (EdTech) can enhance science education. It incorporates principles of teaching and learning that align with how the brain processes information, often referred to as neurodidactics. Built on Sabitzer’s COOL Informatics Model, INCOLTS emphasizes multimodal, brain-based learning strategies, such as active engagement, pattern recognition, and spaced repetition, to enhance retention and understanding. The framework promotes inclusivity and diversity through personalized, hands-on learning methods that cater to individual needs and learning styles, ensuring accessibility for all students. INCOLTS also addresses the critical need for long-term teacher support (Culture of Exchange) by providing structured professional development, pre- and post-assessments, and ongoing mentoring to empower educators in effectively integrating EdTech into their teaching practices. While INCOLTS is still in development and testing, it serves as an example of how such tools can be designed to align with global education goals and prepare learners for a digital and interdisciplinary world.

INCOLTS框架（技术增强科学教育中的创新合作开放学习）是一个综合工具的例子，旨在探索新兴教育技术（EdTech）如何加强科学教育。它结合了与大脑如何处理信息相一致的教学原则，通常被称为神经教学法。INCOLTS以Sabitzer的COOL信息学模型为基础，强调多模式、基于大脑的学习策略，如积极参与、模式识别和间隔重复，以增强记忆和理解。该框架通过个性化的实践学习方法促进包容性和多样性，以满足个人需求和学习风格，确保所有学生都能获得学习机会。INCOLTS还通过提供结构化的专业发展、前后评估和持续的指导，使教育工作者能够有效地将教育技术融入他们的教学实践，解决了对教师长期支持（交流文化）的迫切需求。虽然INCOLTS仍处于开发和测试阶段，但它可以作为一个例子，说明如何设计此类工具以符合全球教育目标，并使学习者为数字化和跨学科的世界做好准备。

This study explores how small vacant lands (SVLs) in Tehran can be reimagined into accessible green spaces that nurture urban well-being. In cities facing land scarcity and intensifying mental health pressures, SVLs hold the potential for low-cost yet high-impact interventions. Through a mixed-methods approach combining spatial design prototypes, expert perspectives, and neurophysiological data from EEG recordings, the research examines how different design strategies influence emotional responses. The findings show that structured, shaded, and interactive environments evoke positive emotions such as calm and interest, while poorly defined or irregular lots elicit negative responses. The study provides evidence that small-scale green interventions can reduce stress, improve social interaction, and contribute to resilient, inclusive urban environments. By integrating emotional data into urban design, this study offers practical recommendations for reimagining overlooked spaces and contributes to broader discussions on sustainable and health-promoting cities.

本研究探讨了如何将德黑兰的小块空地（svl）重新构想为可访问的绿色空间，以培育城市福祉。在面临土地短缺和心理健康压力加剧的城市中，特殊社会服务具有低成本但高影响干预措施的潜力。通过结合空间设计原型、专家观点和脑电图记录的神经生理学数据的混合方法，研究了不同的设计策略如何影响情绪反应。研究结果表明，有结构的、阴暗的和互动的环境会唤起积极的情绪，比如平静和兴趣，而定义不清或不规则的环境会引起消极的反应。该研究提供的证据表明，小规模的绿色干预可以减轻压力，改善社会互动，并有助于建立有弹性、包容性的城市环境。通过将情感数据整合到城市设计中，本研究为重新构想被忽视的空间提供了实用建议，并有助于对可持续和促进健康的城市进行更广泛的讨论。

This short commentary builds on our previous work (Nasir et al., 2023), which introduced a four-vantage-point framework—economic, social, environmental, and ethical—for analyzing how Artificial Intelligence (AI) aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In that study, we used a mixed-methods, data-driven approach to assess alignment across five key document sets, revealing an overrepresentation of economic goals (e.g., SDG 9) and underrepresentation of equity, ecological, and governance-related goals. In this commentary, we reflect on those findings and situate them within wider debates on sustainable AI, drawing on systems theory, critical complexity, and normative critiques of technocratic paradigms (i.e., expert-driven systems). Rather than treating AI as a purely technical driver of progress, we highlight its dependence on institutional values, governance structures, and embedded worldviews. We argue for a paradigm-aware, ethically grounded reimagining of AI development—one that embraces pluralism, justice, and care.

这篇简短的评论建立在我们之前的工作（Nasir et al., 2023）的基础上，该工作介绍了一个四个优势框架——经济、社会、环境和道德——用于分析人工智能（AI）如何与联合国可持续发展目标（sdg）保持一致。在该研究中，我们使用了混合方法，数据驱动的方法来评估五个关键文件集的一致性，揭示了经济目标（例如可持续发展目标9）的过度代表性和公平，生态和治理相关目标的代表性不足。在这篇评论中，我们反思了这些发现，并将它们置于关于可持续人工智能的更广泛辩论中，利用系统理论、关键复杂性和对技术官僚范式（即专家驱动系统）的规范性批评。我们不是将人工智能视为纯粹的技术进步驱动力，而是强调它对制度价值观、治理结构和内在世界观的依赖。我们主张对人工智能发展进行一种范式意识的、基于伦理的重新构想——一种包含多元主义、正义和关怀的重新构想。

This article explores the psychological factors influencing the adoption of smart sport watches (SSWs) among students, focusing on technology readiness, motivation to exercise, and sensation seeking. With 315 participants, the study used validated psychometric tools to measure individual differences in technology attitudes and health behaviors. Results show that technology readiness—particularly optimism and innovativeness—significantly predicts SSW use, more so than intrinsic motivation to exercise or thrill-seeking tendencies. Users of SSWs exhibited higher integrated motivation when physically active, while sedentary users relied more on introjected motivation, suggesting different psychological profiles underpin device adoption. These insights are crucial for designing targeted interventions and technologies that resonate with students. By addressing psychological readiness, this work contributes to more inclusive digital health strategies aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially those promoting well-being, innovation, and equity. The findings have implications for education, healthcare, and digital inclusion policy, emphasizing the need for tailored, user-centered design and outreach to ensure equitable access to wearable health technologies.

本文探讨了影响学生采用智能运动手表（ssw）的心理因素，重点是技术准备，运动动机和感觉寻求。该研究共有315名参与者，使用经过验证的心理测量工具来测量技术态度和健康行为的个体差异。结果表明，技术准备度——尤其是乐观和创新——显著地预测了SSW的使用，比锻炼或寻求刺激的内在动机更重要。ssw用户在运动时表现出更高的综合动机，而久坐用户则更多地依赖于内向动机，这表明不同的心理特征支撑着设备的采用。这些见解对于设计有针对性的干预措施和与学生产生共鸣的技术至关重要。通过解决心理准备问题，这项工作有助于制定更具包容性的数字卫生战略，与联合国可持续发展目标（sdg）保持一致，特别是那些促进福祉、创新和公平的目标。研究结果对教育、医疗保健和数字包容政策具有启示意义，强调需要量身定制、以用户为中心的设计和推广，以确保公平获得可穿戴医疗技术。

Human is considered one of the key factors in construction accidents. When compared to other countries, the Hong Kong construction industry has unique features. Therefore, it is crucial to understand why construction workers in Hong Kong violate safety rules and procedures. This study aims to fill a gap in existing research, as previous studies directly related to safety violations among Hong Kong construction workers are limited. A mixed methods strategy was adopted. Three hundred sixty-five valid responses from the quantitative questionnaire survey were analysed to examine the relationships using the adapted Theory of Planned Behaviour. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were then conducted to explore safety violations and dynamics of Hong Kong construction workers. The results substantiate the use of TPB in this context. In terms of theoretical implications, the findings suggest a framework that depicts the micro (work progress, working environment, self-awareness, and norms), meso (quality of safety rules and procedures and high-reliability organising), and macro factors (institutional contributors) affecting safety compliance. In terms of practical implications, in addition to implementing interventions to improve workers' intentions regarding safety violations, construction companies should examine the current weaknesses in safety training while enhancing and developing a mindful safety culture to become high-reliability organisations.

人是建筑施工事故的关键因素之一。与其他国家相比，香港建造业有其独特之处。因此，了解香港建筑工人违反安全规则和程序的原因至关重要。本研究旨在填补现有研究的空白，因为以往直接涉及香港建筑工人安全违规行为的研究有限。采用混合方法策略。从定量问卷调查中得到的365份有效回复被分析，以使用计划行为理论来检验两者之间的关系。然后进行了定性半结构化访谈，以探讨香港建筑工人的安全违规行为和动态。结果证实了TPB在这种情况下的使用。就理论意义而言，研究结果提出了一个框架，该框架描述了影响安全合规的微观因素（工作进度、工作环境、自我意识和规范）、中观因素（安全规则和程序的质量以及高可靠性组织）和宏观因素（机构贡献者）。就实际意义而言，除了实施干预措施以改善工人对安全违规行为的意愿外，建筑公司还应审视目前安全培训方面的弱点，同时加强和发展一种谨慎的安全文化，以成为高可靠性的组织。

This paper examines the design and early implementation of the integrated framework for training activities, developed under the FOSSR project and aimed at building capacity within Social Science Research Infrastructures (SSRIs). The FOSSR training strategy features a multi-level structure that combines traditional online courses, participatory sessions grounded in a constructivist approach, and higher education programs established in collaboration with Italian universities. It is guided by core principles: ensuring free and inclusive access, engaging academic and non-academic audiences, and focusing on advanced methods to support socio-economic research. Mid-term outcomes show broad engagement in courses and sessions with balanced participation across genders and Italian regions, the launch of a university Master program, and the activation of ten PhD positions. FOSSR training contributes to strengthening advanced skills in social data science, promoting a culture of knowledge co-creation, and supporting the development of a community capable of leveraging SSRI data and services to address complex societal challenges. It fosters the transition of social science research toward a knowledge production model grounded in shared data and innovative research services, while enhancing the societal relevance of SSRIs through inclusive learning approaches. These efforts align with SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

This study examined host residents' perceptions of Expo 2025 that was held in Osaka, Japan. A survey of 1500 Osaka prefecture residents found that positive impacts of the event increased perceptions of subjective well-being, while perceptions of negative impacts decreased a sense of well-being. Well-being acted as a significant mediator between perceived event impact and residents’ support for the Expo. Positive beliefs about the recent Tokyo 2020 Olympics positively moderated attitudes about concerning the Expo. It is suggested that event organisers should communicate both tangible and intangible benefits to residents and to monitor any changes in residents’ well-being. This should be part of an internal marketing strategy that seeks to generate support among constituents, creating a virtuous cycle between mega-events and host communities. The finding of the moderating effect of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics is evidence of the value of an event portfolio strategy due to inter-event relationships.

这项研究调查了在日本大阪举办的2025年世博会的主办国居民的看法。一项对1500名大阪府居民的调查发现，奥运会的积极影响增加了主观幸福感，而消极影响的感知则降低了幸福感。幸福感在感知事件影响和居民对世博会的支持之间起着重要的中介作用。对2020年东京奥运会的积极看法积极地缓和了人们对世博会的态度。建议活动组织者应向居民传达有形和无形的利益，并监测居民幸福感的任何变化。这应该是内部营销策略的一部分，旨在获得选民的支持，在大型赛事和主办社区之间建立良性循环。2020年东京奥运会的调节效应的发现证明了由于事件间关系而产生的事件投资组合策略的价值。

This work has been carried out and is currently being conducted in the poorest region of Luzon, Philippines. Since poverty is multifaceted and considered unmeasurable in social science, it is notoriously difficult to measure. The methods currently used to measure poverty require a significant amount of time, money, and labor. This poses challenges for policymakers in implementing poverty-reduction policies. Indigenous communities are among the most disadvantaged, vulnerable, and neglected populations in society, facing complex and diverse socioeconomic situations. Poverty stands as one of the oldest and most challenging social problems to have ever existed. Research on indigenous peoples typically takes a qualitative approach, whereas studies on poverty tend to be broad, making them susceptible to significant sampling errors and primarily intended for national policy-making. Using community-based monitoring system (CBMS) data, we achieved a prediction accuracy of 92.60–98.00 % using Random Forest classification and reduced traditional survey and data processing costs by up to 70 %. The proposed model incorporates 27 socioeconomic variables and enables localized policy targeting. Therefore, it is crucial to assess multifaceted poverty and simulate socioeconomic conditions for each tribe to foster economic development. By training and testing datasets, this work proposes new metrics and illustrates the effectiveness of machine learning in predicting poverty. Lastly, the results provide various localities with customized policy targeting tools for poverty alleviation. These techniques can be replicated, adapted, or repurposed by other researchers to assist impoverished populations in improving their well-being.

这项工作已经在菲律宾最贫穷的吕宋岛地区进行，目前正在进行中。由于贫困是多方面的，而且在社会科学中被认为是无法衡量的，因此它是出了名的难以衡量的。目前用来衡量贫困的方法需要大量的时间、金钱和劳动力。这给政策制定者实施减贫政策带来了挑战。土著社区是社会中处境最不利、最脆弱和最被忽视的群体之一，面临着复杂多样的社会经济状况。贫困是有史以来最古老、最具挑战性的社会问题之一。对土著人民的研究通常采取定性方法，而对贫穷的研究往往涉猎广泛，容易出现重大的抽样误差，而且主要是为了国家决策。利用社区监测系统（CBMS）数据，采用随机森林分类，预测精度达到92.60-98.00 %，将传统调查和数据处理成本降低了70% %。该模型包含27个社会经济变量，能够实现局部政策目标。因此，评估多方面的贫困并模拟每个部落的社会经济条件以促进经济发展至关重要。通过训练和测试数据集，这项工作提出了新的衡量标准，并说明了机器学习在预测贫困方面的有效性。最后，研究结果为各地扶贫提供了针对性的政策工具。这些技术可以被其他研究人员复制、改编或重新利用，以帮助贫困人口改善他们的福祉。

Limb absence has an impact on the physical, psychological, and social well-being of individuals, particularly those with upper limb deficiencies. Myoelectric prostheses, controlled by voluntary muscle contractions, can restore some functionality; however, they are costly, complex, and inaccessible, particularly for children who require frequent updates as they grow. In order to address these limitations, the "Superheroes Project" was developed at University of Oviedo. This interdisciplinary initiative engages students from engineering and healthcare disciplines in the design and fabrication of low-cost prostheses with 3D printing technology. The project guarantees that each prosthesis is tailored to the specific requirements of the individual, with a focus on comfort, adaptability, and user-friendliness. Digital modelling of the residual limbs is performed for the prostheses design, which are then manufactured with additive technologies of lightweight and flexible materials. 13 individuals from Spain and Cambodia have been benefited from the project, with devices tailored for several activities ranging from daily tasks to sports. In addition to the physical benefits, the project also promotes social inclusion and transforms student participants by enhancing their technical and interpersonal skills. The Superheroes Project demonstrates that affordable customized prostheses can improve the quality of life of patients, while fostering a deep connection between education and community service.

肢体缺失对个体的生理、心理和社会健康都有影响，尤其是那些上肢缺陷的人。肌电假体由随意肌收缩控制，可恢复部分功能；然而，它们昂贵、复杂且难以获得，特别是对于随着年龄的增长而需要经常更新的儿童。为了解决这些限制，奥维耶多大学开发了“超级英雄项目”。这个跨学科的项目让来自工程和医疗保健学科的学生参与设计和制造使用3D打印技术的低成本假肢。该项目保证每个假肢都是根据个人的具体要求量身定制的，重点是舒适性、适应性和用户友好性。残肢数字化建模用于假肢设计，然后使用轻质柔性材料的增材制造技术制造假肢。来自西班牙和柬埔寨的13个人已经从这个项目中受益，他们为从日常工作到体育运动的各种活动量身定制了设备。除了身体上的好处，该项目还促进了社会包容，并通过提高学生的技术和人际交往能力来改变学生参与者。超级英雄项目表明，负担得起的定制假肢可以提高患者的生活质量，同时促进教育和社区服务之间的深度联系。
