This study examined the comparative effects of individual and collaborative game-based learning approaches on the development of English spelling skills among young learners, addressing the persistent difficulty that children encounter in mastering English orthography. Conducted in a private elementary school in northern Iran, the research involved 50 Persian-speaking students aged 9–11 who were divided into three groups: an individual game group (n = 18), a collaborative game group (n = 16), and a control group (n = 16) receiving traditional instruction. A quantitative quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test control-group design was employed, explicitly allowing comparisons among all three instructional conditions to determine not only whether differences existed but also which approach produced the greatest learning gains. Data were analyzed using a mixed between-within groups ANOVA. Results revealed significant improvements in spelling across all groups, with the collaborative game-based group showing the greatest progress, supporting the view that peer interaction and shared problem-solving facilitate orthographic learning more effectively than independent or traditional practice. These findings underscore the pedagogical value of integrating collaborative digital and classroom-based games into young-learner English curricula, thereby contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) through promoting active, equitable, and engaging learning environments. The study highlights the potential of collaborative educational games to strengthen spelling proficiency and learner motivation in EFL contexts.

本研究考察了个人和合作游戏学习方法对幼儿英语拼写技能发展的比较效果，解决了儿童在掌握英语正字法时遇到的持续困难。这项研究在伊朗北部的一所私立小学进行，涉及50名9-11岁的波斯语学生，他们被分为三组：个人游戏组（n = 18），合作游戏组（n = 16）和接受传统教学的对照组（n = 16）。采用定量准实验前测/后测控制组设计，明确允许在所有三种教学条件之间进行比较，不仅确定是否存在差异，而且确定哪种方法产生最大的学习收益。数据分析采用混合组内方差分析。结果显示，所有小组在拼写方面都有了显著的进步，以合作游戏为基础的小组取得了最大的进步，这支持了同伴互动和共同解决问题比独立或传统练习更有效地促进拼写学习的观点。这些发现强调了将协作式数字游戏和课堂游戏整合到年轻学习者的英语课程中的教学价值，从而通过促进积极、公平和有吸引力的学习环境，为可持续发展目标4（优质教育）做出贡献。本研究强调了合作教育游戏在英语语境中增强拼写能力和学习者动机的潜力。

Loneliness is an important psychosocial factor in type 2 diabetes, especially for adults who live alone. This study aimed to culturally adapt and validate the Indonesian version of the ALONE scale (ALONE-ID) and examine its associations with glycemic control and psychosocial outcomes. We conducted a cross-sectional psychometric study with 222 single-living adults with type 2 diabetes from urban primary healthcare centers in Java, Indonesia. The ALONE scale was translated using forward–backward procedures, expert review, and cognitive interviews. Participants completed the ALONE-ID, IMFI-20, PSQI, and BDI-II, and HbA1c values were obtained from medical records. Content validity, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), reliability, convergent validity, and ROC analysis were performed. Content validity was strong (S-CVI/Ave = 0.96). EFA supported a unidimensional structure (KMO = 0.74; eigenvalue = 2.84) explaining 56.8 % of variance, with factor loadings of 0.53–0.84. Internal consistency was good (α = 0.81) and test–retest reliability in 30 participants was excellent (ICC = 0.87). Higher ALONE-ID scores were associated with greater fatigue, poorer sleep, and more depressive symptoms, and were higher among those with uncontrolled HbA1c (>7 %). ROC analysis showed good discrimination for poor sleep (AUC = 0.79), with an optimal cut-off ≥8 (sensitivity 81.3 %, specificity 72.2 %). The ALONE-ID is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing loneliness among single-living adults with type 2 diabetes in Indonesia. The proposed cut-off ≥8 may help identify patients at greater psychosocial risk, but should be confirmed in larger, more diverse samples.

孤独是2型糖尿病的一个重要的社会心理因素，特别是对于独居的成年人。本研究旨在对印尼版本的ALONE量表（ALONE- id）进行文化调整和验证，并检查其与血糖控制和社会心理结果的关系。我们对来自印度尼西亚爪哇城市初级卫生保健中心的222名独居成人2型糖尿病患者进行了横断面心理测量研究。使用前向后程序、专家评审和认知访谈对ALONE量表进行翻译。参与者完成了ALONE-ID、IMFI-20、PSQI和BDI-II，并从医疗记录中获得了HbA1c值。进行内容效度、探索性因子分析（EFA）、信度、收敛效度及ROC分析。内容效度较强（S-CVI/Ave = 0.96）。EFA支持一维结构（KMO = 0.74，特征值= 2.84），解释56.8%的方差，因子负荷为0.53-0.84。30名被试的内部一致性良好（α = 0.81），重测信度极佳（ICC = 0.87）。高ALONE-ID评分与更严重的疲劳、更差的睡眠和更多的抑郁症状相关，并且在HbA1c不受控制的患者中更高（> 7%）。ROC分析显示，睡眠质量差的鉴别能力较好（AUC = 0.79），最佳临界值≥8（敏感性81.3%，特异性72.2%）。在印度尼西亚，ALONE-ID是评估单身生活成人2型糖尿病患者孤独感的可靠和有效的工具。建议的临界值≥8可能有助于识别具有更大心理社会风险的患者，但应在更大、更多样化的样本中进行确认。

Background

Despite its universality, menstruation is often surrounded by cultural taboos and stigmas that impact how girls experience and manage their menstrual health.

Objectives

To explore the emotional and psychological responses of adolescent girls at the onset of menarche; to assess the level of preparedness and the role of prior discussions in shaping adolescent girls' experiences with menarche; to identify the prevailing menstrual practices and taboos; and to analyse the factors influencing the choice of menstrual hygiene methods among adolescent girls.

Methods

This qualitative analysis was conducted with data obtained from an analytical cross-sectional study done among college going women in Coimbatore district, India between October 2022 and January 2023.

Results

The findings are presented across four domains such as emotions during menarche, willingness to discuss, menstrual practices and influencers of menstrual hygiene. About 84.1 % experienced negative feelings, including confusion, fear, embarrassment, and a sense of loss during menarche and only the remaining 15.9 % expressed positive emotions. About 47.2 % were open to initiating discussions, citing the importance of preparedness and demystifying menstruation, while others were hesitant. Majority (81.8 %) experienced restrictive and myth-based practices. Washroom facilities, parental and peer influence, media, and digital influencers were among the common influencers of menstrual hygiene products. Inspite of safety concerns, privacy and convenience also played roles, with some opting to purchase products online to avoid embarrassment.

Conclusion

The findings stress the importance of fostering open dialogue about menstruation, addressing harmful cultural practices, and improving access to menstrual products and education.

尽管月经具有普遍性，但它往往被文化禁忌和污名所包围，影响了女孩如何体验和管理月经健康。目的探讨青春期少女初潮时的情绪和心理反应；评估准备程度和事先讨论在塑造少女初潮经历方面的作用；确定流行的月经习惯和禁忌；并分析影响青春期少女月经卫生方法选择的因素。方法本定性分析的数据来自于2022年10月至2023年1月在印度哥印拜陀地区对大学女生进行的分析性横断面研究。结果研究结果涵盖了月经初潮期间的情绪、讨论意愿、月经习惯和月经卫生的影响等四个领域。大约84.1%的人经历过负面情绪，包括困惑、恐惧、尴尬和初潮期间的失落感，只有剩下的15.9%表达了积极的情绪。约47.2%的人愿意发起讨论，指出准备和消除月经神秘感的重要性，而其他人则犹豫不决。大多数（81.8%）经历了限制性和基于神话的做法。洗手间设施、父母和同伴的影响、媒体和数字影响者是影响月经卫生产品的常见因素。尽管有安全方面的考虑，隐私和方便也是原因之一，一些人选择在网上购买产品以避免尴尬。结论研究结果强调了促进关于月经的公开对话，解决有害的文化习俗，改善月经产品的获取和教育的重要性。

Background/objective

Talent management is one of the most crucial factors in an organization's success in today's complex and competitive environment. This study aims to design and explain an integrated talent management model based on a good governance approach for Jahad Daneshgahi.

Methods

This research used the grounded theory method and the Strauss and Corbin approach. Theoretical sampling was employed to select managers and human resource experts from Jahad Daneshgahi, and data collection continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. Research data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 human resources experts, organizational managers, and university professors, and analyzed in three stages: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. From 345 initial codes, categories related to the three aforementioned axes were identified and categorized.

Results

Contextual factors, including organizational culture and climate, leadership style, resources and facilities, Knowledge integration, and organizational structure, serve as key infrastructures that provide the basis for effective talent management. Intervening factors, such as Internal organizational challenges, organizational dynamics, and changes, as well as external factors, play a dual role as either facilitator or obstacle, depending on the circumstances. Implementation strategies, such as enhancing the workplace, strengthening organizational communication, promoting employee development and empowerment, and fostering innovation and creativity, can improve organizational efficiency and effectiveness by leveraging contextual capacities and mitigating obstacles.

Conclusion

The proposed research model in this study presents an integrated view of the triple nexus of contextual, intervening, and strategic factors within the framework of good governance, thereby enhancing human resource performance, organizational productivity, and effectiveness.

背景/目标在当今复杂的竞争环境中，人才管理是组织成功的最关键因素之一。本研究旨在设计并解释基于善治方法的Jahad Daneshgahi综合人才管理模型。方法本研究采用扎根理论方法和Strauss和Corbin方法。采用理论抽样的方法选择Jahad Daneshgahi的管理人员和人力资源专家，并继续收集数据，直到达到理论饱和。通过对12位人力资源专家、组织经理和大学教授的半结构化访谈收集研究数据，并将研究数据分为开放编码、轴向编码和选择性编码三个阶段进行分析。从345个初始代码中，确定并分类了与上述三个轴相关的类别。结果组织文化与氛围、领导风格、资源与设施、知识整合、组织结构等情境因素是实施有效人才管理的关键基础。干预因素，如组织内部挑战、组织动态和变化，以及外部因素，根据具体情况发挥促进或阻碍的双重作用。实施战略，如加强工作场所，加强组织沟通，促进员工发展和授权，以及培育创新和创造力，可以通过利用上下文能力和减轻障碍来提高组织效率和有效性。本研究提出的研究模型综合考虑了良好治理框架内情境因素、干预因素和战略因素的三重关系，从而提高人力资源绩效、组织生产力和有效性。

The challenges for the inclusion of visually impaired individuals in cities and buildings are significant, particularly in activities related to exploring heritage sites, as there are few activities focused on them, and guided tours are often centered on the visual characteristics of objects. To address this issue, a methodology is presented for the design and production of a portable, collectible, low-cost, and easily manufacturable and replicable three-dimensional device. The methodology is based on incremental innovation, Experiential Learning, participatory design, and Active Experimentation through work with a focus group of visually impaired individuals. 3D prototyping and printing technologies are used to facilitate access for visually impaired individuals to enjoy and exercise their rights to the city and heritage. It is concluded that the 3D portable device, focused on pedagogical processes, is an accessible solution for all institutions, even those with moderate budgets, as is the case in Latin America.

将视障人士纳入城市和建筑的挑战是巨大的，特别是在与探索遗产遗址有关的活动中，因为很少有活动关注它们，导游通常以物体的视觉特征为中心。为了解决这个问题，提出了一种设计和生产便携式，可收集，低成本，易于制造和复制的三维装置的方法。该方法基于渐进式创新、体验式学习、参与式设计和通过与视障人士焦点小组合作进行的积极实验。3D原型和打印技术被用于方便视障人士享受和行使他们对城市和遗产的权利。结论是，专注于教学过程的3D便携式设备是所有机构都可以使用的解决方案，即使是那些预算适中的机构，如拉丁美洲的情况。

Background

Bibliometrics evaluate research impact but fail to capture public engagement, especially in applied fields such as creative arts therapies. With the advent of altmetrics, new tools have emerged that indicate how research circulates beyond academia. This study analysed the academic and public visibility of research in creative arts therapies, focusing on four disciplines - art therapy, music therapy, dance movement therapy and dramatherapy - using bibliometric and altmetric indicators. The study also examined whether open access status affects citation impact.

Materials and methods

A total of 1845 peer-reviewed articles published between 2017 and 2022 were retrieved from Scopus and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Key metrics included Scopus citations, Mendeley readership and social media mentions. Mann-Whitney U tested the relationship between open access and citations. Spearman's correlations were used to examine the association between citations and altmetric indicators.

Results

Of all the articles, 42.8 % were open access. Open access ranged from 47.7 % in music therapy to 31.4 % in dramatherapy. The median number of Scopus citations was 5, and the median number of Mendeley reads was 46. A statistically significant difference in citation distribution was observed between open access and closed access publications. Mendeley readership strongly correlated with citations, whereas social media metrics were inconsistent.

Conclusion

Open access articles receive more citations but not necessarily more public attention. Mendeley readership was found to be the most reliable indicator of academic impact. Findings suggest that altmetrics can complement traditional indicators. Future research should explore how dissemination strategies and platform choices influence scholarly and public engagement.

文献计量学评估研究的影响，但未能捕捉公众参与，特别是在应用领域，如创造性艺术疗法。随着替代指标的出现，新的工具已经出现，表明研究如何在学术界之外流通。本研究使用文献计量学和替代计量学指标分析了创造性艺术疗法研究的学术和公众知名度，重点关注四个学科——艺术疗法、音乐疗法、舞蹈运动疗法和戏剧疗法。该研究还考察了开放获取状态是否会影响引文影响。材料与方法从Scopus检索2017年至2022年间发表的1845篇同行评议文章，并采用描述性统计和推理统计方法进行分析。关键指标包括Scopus引用、Mendeley读者和社交媒体提及。曼-惠特尼大学测试了开放获取和引用之间的关系。Spearman相关被用来检验引文和替代指标之间的关联。结果42.8%的文章为开放获取。开放获取的比例从音乐治疗的47.7%到戏剧治疗的31.4%不等。Scopus被引次数中位数为5次，Mendeley被读次数中位数为46次。在开放获取和封闭获取出版物之间的引文分布有统计学上的显著差异。Mendeley的读者群与引用密切相关，而社交媒体的指标则不一致。结论开放获取文章的引用率更高，但公众关注度不一定更高。门德利读者被认为是学术影响最可靠的指标。研究结果表明，替代指标可以补充传统指标。未来的研究应该探索传播策略和平台选择如何影响学术和公众参与。

Mining plays a crucial role in India's economic growth and resource diversification, especially in states such as Goa, Karnataka, and Odisha. However, the growing issue of contiguous mining leases, where neighbouring tenements overlap, has created complex socio-economic, legislative, and environmental governance challenges. This paper provides a comparative evaluation of mining governance and sustainability in these states, using a qualitative approach that incorporates secondary data from public, governmental, legislative, and relevant environmental sources. It analyses the triad of socio-economic displacement, environmental degradation, and inadequate institutional oversight that characterise India's mining governance. Results reveal that although mining significantly contributes to regional GDP and employment, weak enforcement of regulations, outdated cadastral systems, poor boundary management, inequitable compensation, and resource depletion are some factors that exacerbate conflicts. It also highlights how ineffective implementation of the Forest Rights Act (2006), insufficient environmental regulation, and the lack of benefit-sharing arrangements have excluded local and indigenous communities. Drawing on comparative models from Turkey, the European Union, and other BRICS countries, this paper proposes a multifaceted policy approach focusing on (a) GIS and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technologies for precise boundary delineation; (b) basin-based mining to streamline environmental restoration and waste management; (c) a systematic environmental compliance fee to finance monitoring and reclamation; and (d) community-oriented redistribution of royalties through District Mineral Foundations. The paper emphasises that sustainable mining in India requires aligning fiscal, technological, and legal frameworks to achieve equitable mineral governance, thereby integrating environmental accountability with socio-economic inclusion.

矿业在印度的经济增长和资源多样化中发挥着至关重要的作用，特别是在果阿邦、卡纳塔克邦和奥里萨邦。然而，日益严重的连续采矿租赁问题（相邻租约重叠）带来了复杂的社会经济、立法和环境治理挑战。本文采用定性方法，结合来自公共、政府、立法和相关环境来源的二手数据，对这些州的矿业治理和可持续性进行了比较评估。它分析了社会经济流离失所、环境恶化和机构监督不足这三个印度矿业治理特征。结果表明，尽管矿业对地区GDP和就业的贡献显著，但法规执行不力、地籍制度过时、边界管理不善、补偿不公平以及资源枯竭是加剧冲突的一些因素。报告还强调了《森林权利法》（2006年）的执行不力、环境监管不足以及利益分享安排的缺乏如何将当地和土著社区排除在外。借鉴土耳其、欧盟和其他金砖国家的比较模型，本文提出了一种多方面的政策方法，重点关注(a)地理信息系统和无人机（UAV）技术的精确边界划定；(b)盆地采矿以简化环境恢复和废物管理；(c)有系统地收取环境合规费，以资助监测和填海；(d)通过地区矿物基金会面向社区重新分配特许权使用费。该文件强调，印度的可持续采矿需要协调财政、技术和法律框架，以实现公平的矿产治理，从而将环境问责制与社会经济包容相结合。

This study examines information management (IM) practices within Thailand's smart city initiatives by analyzing 28 public agencies at national and provincial levels. Drawing upon Waghmare's six-phase IM lifecycle, comprising data acquisition, analysis, organization, dissemination, access, and storage, the study employs a mixed-methods design combining quantitative analysis with qualitative insights from open-ended responses. Findings reveal strengths in data analysis and storage yet highlight persistent weaknesses in data acquisition and access. Statistical analysis shows no significant correlation between an agency's understanding of smart city concepts and its IM performance, indicating that institutional structures and governance frameworks play a more pivotal role. Cluster analysis identifies three tiers of IM readiness, reflecting disparities in agency capabilities. Furthermore, information usage varies considerably across smart city domains, with Smart Environment being the most utilized and Smart Energy the least. Significant correlations were found only in the domains of Smart People (positive) and Smart Living (negative), in relation to smart city understanding. Qualitative data emphasizes the importance of open data platforms, advanced technologies, and cross-domain integration. The study offers policy recommendations focused on data architecture standardization, institutional coordination, and capacity building. It contributes to the literature on digital governance by highlighting the critical role of structured IM in enabling data-driven, inclusive, and sustainable urban development.

本研究通过分析泰国国家和省级28个公共机构，考察了泰国智慧城市计划中的信息管理（IM）实践。借鉴waghare的IM生命周期六阶段，包括数据采集、分析、组织、传播、访问和存储，该研究采用混合方法设计，将定量分析与开放式响应的定性见解相结合。调查结果揭示了数据分析和存储方面的优势，但突出了数据获取和访问方面的持续弱点。统计分析显示，机构对智慧城市概念的理解与其IM绩效之间没有显著相关性，表明制度结构和治理框架发挥了更关键的作用。聚类分析确定了IM准备的三个层次，反映了机构能力的差异。此外，智能城市领域的信息使用差异很大，智能环境利用率最高，智能能源利用率最低。就智慧城市的理解而言，只有在智慧人（正）和智慧生活（负）领域发现了显著的相关性。定性数据强调开放数据平台、先进技术和跨领域集成的重要性。该研究提出了侧重于数据架构标准化、机构协调和能力建设的政策建议。它通过强调结构化信息管理在实现数据驱动、包容性和可持续城市发展中的关键作用，为数字治理文献做出了贡献。
