This communication aims to explain the origin, objectives, and format of educational materials developed by the authors for use in the classroom, specifically in geography or any subject dealing with knowledge and analysis, with students aged 14–18. It focuses on the depopulation process that has occurred in rural areas of Spain since the beginning of the 20th century (exemplified in the autonomous community of Aragon). This process has shaped their territory, population distribution, aging demographics, and the social issues that arise from it. To achieve this, its stages, characteristics, causes, consequences, and potential policies to halt depopulation are identified and analysed. To implement efficient teaching and learning processes aimed at students acquiring not only relevant and useful concepts but also skills or competencies in geographical knowledge techniques, an intensive use of Geographic Information Technologies (GIT) is proposed. Moreover, when GIT is integrated into educational strategies focused on competency-based didactic formulations (“know-how”). This transformation shifts geographical knowledge from rote memorization to a tool enabling the understanding of the environment in which students develop their lives and education. Thus, the educational materials presented here does not solely aim for an understanding of the depopulation process affecting the Spanish territory. Alongside this knowledge, the materials aim to facilitate competency acquisition in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and, consequently, in artificial intelligence.

This article describes and analyzes the approach to the ownership regularization process implemented in Villa 20. Located in the City of Buenos Aires, Villa 20 is a low-income neighborhood that has been developed by its residents over the last 70 years through a progressive and continuous habitat self-development process. Based on the knowledge provided by the technical managers responsible for the implementation and by the social organizations involved, the aim of this study is to present the complexity of the ownership regularization process. Moreover, it seeks to show the fundamental role that the participatory process played in developing new instruments and reaching agreements meant to gradually advance towards the issuance of title deeds. Special emphasis is placed on the lack of normative interventions designed to adapt the built construction to the current planning regulations and on the prominence given to the title deed as the only validated instrument for proving tenure security. The ownership regularization approach conducted in Villa 20 focuses on addressing issues not covered by regulations through gradual urban and ownership regulatory actions. By means of a series of technical, social, and institutional adaptations legitimated by the participatory process, the aim of these actions is to issue a variety of documents that certify possession in order to strengthen housing security, even though they do not grant full title deed status.
本文介绍并分析了在 Villa 20 实施的所有权规范化进程的方法。Villa 20 位于布宜诺斯艾利斯市,是一个低收入社区,在过去的 70 年里,该社区的居民通过渐进和持续的人居自我发展进程,将其发展成为一个社区。根据负责实施工作的技术管理人员和相关社会组织提供的知识,本研究旨在介绍所有权规范化过程的复杂性。此外,它还试图说明参与进程在制定新文书和达成协议以逐步推进地契发放方面所发挥的重要作用。特别强调的是,缺乏旨在使已建建筑适应现行规划条例的规范性干预措施,以及地契作为证明使用权安全的唯一有效工具的重要性。第 20 号别墅的所有权规范化方法侧重于通过逐步的城市和所有权规范行动来解决法规未涵盖的问题。通过一系列技术、社会和机构调整,并通过参与进程使之合法化,这些行动的目的是颁发各种证明拥有权的文件,以加强住房保障,尽管这些文件并不授予完全的地契地位。

The utilization of firewood for cooking in approximately 13 million Brazilian households in 2022 raises pressing concerns regarding its multifaceted impact on key development indicators. This impact stems from the profound connection between access to modern energy sources and fundamental rights, including education, health, housing, and leisure. Despite Brazil’s remarkable diversity in its energy matrix, the equitable distribution of this essential resource remains a persistent and significant challenge. To construct the present work, it was undertaking a systematic review of the technical literature, uncovering a stark disparity in energy access closely correlated with income levels. This inequality in energy access underscores the urgent need for comprehensive analysis and intervention. The present work endeavors to delve deeper into this complex issue, aiming to illuminate the profound implications of both broad energy access and the consequences of energy deprivation on individual well-being and broader socio-economic dynamics. Also, this work aims to provide a holistic understanding of the challenges faced by communities with limited access to modern energy sources and, concurrently, the opportunities and improvements that can be brought about through enhanced energy accessibility. In addition, this study seeks to identify and evaluate potential solutions to address this critical issue. This work is driven by the recognition that equitable energy distribution is not only a matter of environmental sustainability but also a fundamental human right, pivotal to social and economic progress.

This paper describes the task-related apparel design features involved in developing prototypes for nannies. Clothes that are presently used in childcare tasks do not meet the users’ needs for carrying out activities and tasks in families. This makes their tasks more cumbersome to perform, while comfort, health, and safety are not well guaranteed. Therefore, this work aims at identifying task-related design features and developing prototype nannies’ work apparel that would facilitate babysitting tasks and minimize work hazards while ensuring the comfort, protection, and safety of children and users. A purposeful sampling technique was used to select 293 respondents. Questionnaires and body measurements were used to collect data and were analyzed with means, percentages, and Chi-square. Users were involved in the process of prototype development. The design was tested to assess its appropriateness and modified for final fitting.

This review paper highlights the importance of environment, social and governance (ESG) in sustainable agricultural practices in developing countries. The importance of incorporating an environmental perspective has been discussed. The enhanced sustainable crop farming practices under ESG are precision agriculture technology, controlled environment agriculture, improving crop breeding, agricultural biotechnology, packaging innovation and coatings, reducing food waste, and regenerative agricultural practices. The green-minded leadership model should stem from this concept of ESG in sustainable agricultural practices in developing countries.

Sustainable development or sustainability refers to meeting the needs of the present generation while not compromising on the needs of future generation. The cyberspace has increasing become a tool for actualizing sustainable development given the increased volume of online transactions. However, the cyberspace has equally been used to perpetuate crime and criminality, culminating in high level corruption in the society. Corruption thrives in secrecy in governance, weakens state institutions, and promotes injustices in the society, making the actualization of the Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16) a mirage. Since SDG 16 is the cornerstone for the actualization of the remaining 16 SDGs, this vision paper proposed a blockchain-based cybersecurity system for engendering transparency and accountability in governance, using the Nigerian polity as a case study. We used Use Case diagrams and n-tier Component Diagram to explain how functionalities of blockchain technology can be used to address trust deficit occasioned by crime and criminality. We also harped on how the implementation of the proposed system can impact on the attainment of the SDGs by the target year of 2030.

Environmental concerns have garnered increasing global attention, prompting discussions on how to integrate these issues into business operations and strategies. While lean supply chain strategy (LSC) and agile supply chain strategy (ASC) are recognized for their environmental benefits to organizations, the impact of LSC and ASC on the environmental performance of firms remains relatively unexplored. This study aims to analyze the influence of LSC and ASC within various functional areas of manufacturing firms on their environmental performance. To gather data, a quantitative survey methodology was employed, involving 299 manufacturing firms in Malaysia. Out of the collected responses, 231 were deemed usable for analysis. The survey results reveal that lean supply chain strategy and agile supply chain strategy positively affect environmental performance. Moreover, supply chain responsiveness (SCR) partially mediates the relationship between LSC and ASC on environmental performance. This study contributes to the existing literature and practices in supply chain management strategy and sustainable performance in manufacturing industries.
