System Dynamics-Based Interactive Learning Environment for Formative (Self-)Assessment
An online system dynamics-based interactive learning environment (ILE) can be designed to assess the trainees' capabilities, in accordance with the formative assessment paradigm. Through a simulated business environment, trainees have the opportunity to virtually manage their own company (system) while taking on various roles that mirror real-life scenarios related to the phenomenon analyzed by the ILE. The ILE has a feature that allows the assessment of such capabilities by measuring key indicators that determine the feasibility, effectiveness, and efficiency of their decision-making when running a firm within a specific operational context. From this standpoint, implementing a practical approach that enables trainees to confidently evaluate their capabilities in a protected environment (simulations) would produce the following different benefits for them: a) Personalized Learning: Interactive learning environments can adapt to suit trainees' individual learning styles, making the learning experience more personalized and effective; b) Interactive Learning Experience: Interactive learning environments offer learners the opportunity to engage actively in the learning process, facilitating better retention of knowledge; c) Real-time Feedback: Interactive learning environments provide learners with instant feedback, which helps them to identify gaps in their knowledge and improve immediately; d) Collaborative Learning: Interactive learning environments encourage learners to work collaboratively, which has proven benefits for memory retention and enhanced peer learning.

Traffic Calming Measures
The ever-increasing use of motor vehicles causes a number of traffic safety and community issues, which are particularly severe in cities, accompanied by a scarcity of parking spaces and challenges encountered in road layout alteration projects. The commonly applied solutions include the designation of through streets, the implementation of on-street parking on residential streets, and retrofitted traffic calming measures (TCMs).

Scientometric Trends and Knowledge Gaps of Zero-Emission Campuses
Climate change inarguably remains mankind’s biggest challenge, and has now become a reality people must deal with. Universities are pivotal in driving decarbonization and sustainable development, given their crucial societal and educational responsibilities in shaping the minds of future leaders. As the urgency of addressing climate change grows, strategies such as developing zero-emission campuses to achieve carbon neutrality are becoming increasingly crucial. Yet, research in this field remains somewhat underdeveloped and fragmented. Scientometric Analysis serves as an excellent method for consolidating discoveries from recent studies, pinpointing gaps in research, and offering critical perspectives on evolving trends in scholarly inquiry.

Community Resilience after Disasters
Despite the potentially catastrophic nature of disasters, survivors can be highly resilient. Resilience, the capacity to successfully adapt to adversity, is both individual and collective. Policymakers and academics have recently emphasised the importance of community resilience, but with little consideration of local survivors’ perspectives, particularly young survivors within low- and middle-income countries.

Mindful Nature (MiNa)
Mindful Nature (MiNa) stands as an exemplary project, positioned at the intersection of education and environmental consciousness. Based on the idea that a strong bond with nature is essential for promoting overall health, self-awareness, and relaxation, MiNa aims to transform the ways that teachers educate. This post offers a thorough examination of the MiNa initiative, including its history, goals, and the important contribution it makes to improving human health and wellbeing.

Ecological Momentary Assessments in Psychological States Study
Ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) can address methodological issues associated with retrospective reports to help reveal dynamic associations between psychological states at small timescales that are often missed in stress and health research. In addition to helping researchers characterize daily and within-day fluctuations and temporal dynamics between different health-relevant processes, EMAs can elucidate mechanisms through which interventions reduce stress and enhance well-being.

Patent of Connected Vehicle Technology Trends
Governments and manufacturers anticipate that connected vehicle deployments will reduce accidents, optimize traffic flow, and enhance the driving experience. Although extensive studies focus on the technical aspects of connected vehicles, a gap exists in systematically analyzing the invention trends shaping the field. Insights into these trends is a strategic imperative for policymakers, researchers, and investors alike.

SDGs Integration within the Spanish Physical Education Curriculum
Education is a universal right, enshrined in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Article 26.1 and also included in the Spanish Constitution of 1978 in Article 27. Because of this, Spanish educational policy has undergone changes over the years, highlighting a great expansion of the educational system, promotion of social equality, decentralization of the educational system, and the configuration of a new school model.

The Social Perception of Autonomous Delivery Vehicles
The use of different technologies significantly changes the social perception of different social groups, and moreover, devices themselves are perceived in stereotypical terms. Autonomous delivery vehicles (ADV) are electric and self-driving ground vehicles, which drive on streets or sidewalks with a limited speed of 5–10 km/h and are able to manage all driving tasks by themselves without human intervention in a mixed traffic environment
