The need to shift to a responsible consumption model, encourage citizen participation, recycling habits, and water conservation, makes it vital to seek innovative ways for environmental education. Therefore, in this study, the serious games Save the Earth Planet ECO Inc. and Eco Ego were implemented in the teaching-learning process of high school students at Unidad Educativa Mariano Benítez, with the aim of promoting sustainable attitudes and behaviors, and raising awareness about environmental management and care. A quantitative, descriptive, and explanatory methodology with a quasi-experimental approach was followed. Before and after the use of these video games, a survey was conducted to measure participants' opinions and perceptions of learning in environmental education. As a result, the application of serious games succeeded in promoting more sustainable attitudes and behaviors towards the environment among the participants, leading to reflective learning, meaningful experiences of reconnection with nature, and the strengthening of their commitment and participation in ecosystem protection.

The primary objective of this research is to identify elements and concepts that intervene in the existing gender gap in STEM areas (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), to subsequently design and validate a serious game that allows training and raising awareness among university students. A bibliographic review of serious games focused on training in the concept is performed. A three-phase game development methodology is applied to design and validate the serious game "Brechas." The proposed game has a board mediated by digital tools in which participants answer questions while learning the main concepts about gender gaps in the international, national, and local contexts. The designed tool is refined by the application to 47 participants. In conclusion, this tool allows instructing and raising awareness among students regarding existing disparities in gender issues, especially in STEM areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The right to personal information privacy and technological advancements in Ecuador entail significant ethical and legal challenges. While the Constitution and the Organic Law on Personal Data Protection safeguard this right, its effective implementation faces obstacles such as the absence of a privacy-oriented culture, institutional limitations, and advancing technology. The main challenge lies in achieving a balance between data protection and leveraging opportunities offered by technological advances such as Big Data, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IOT), despite the risks to privacy and security. From an ethical perspective, the principle of informational self-determination should enable individuals to control their data. Therefore, Ecuador must strengthen its technical and operational capabilities, raise awareness about the significance of data confidentiality and establish governance structures with accountability mechanisms to ensure the ethical and responsible use of technological advancements, safeguarding citizens' fundamental rights.

The new generations develop their lives surrounded by different digital media, consuming and producing everything that increasingly refined algorithms put within their reach. In this context, proposals appear which seek to enhance citizens' critical perspective and which are beginning to be put into practice in formal educational initiatives that raise awareness about consumption and digital dependence. This article sought to analyze the reflections of the students before an experience of "digital diet" (24 hours of disconnection), integrated in a subject of the Degree of Social Education during the academic year 2021/2022. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology was proposed which aimed to analyze the educational possibilities of this proposal for raising awareness about the use of digital media. The results of this work revealed that an important part of the participating students failed to complete the challenge or showed symptoms associated with addiction. At the same time, the protagonists asserted the importance of ICT in different areas of their lives. Finally, the need to raise awareness among citizens through proposals such as the one analyzed in this study is highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the results of a research study analyzing the explanatory constructions (both discursive and iconographic) of a group of 5th-grade students regarding the phenomenon of menstruation. The working paradigm is constructivist, and the design is exploratory with a qualitative approach. The instruments used were open-ended questionnaires that posed situations related to the phenomenon of menstruation. The intervention took place in a public elementary school located in the State of Mexico. The collected evidence shows that the scientific school models constructed by the children emphasize the knowledge learned in school related to secondary sexual characteristics, the parts that make up the female reproductive system (as mentioned in the natural science textbooks), and menstruation as a natural process that only happens to women. From this perspective learned in school, human sexuality lacks a scientific conceptualization, which leaves no room for understanding how different systems of the human body interrelate to account for the phenomenon, as well as the connection to pleasure, emotions, and desires. The suggestion for science classes is to find a dialogue between biological knowledge, biochemical functioning, and cultural constructions that help students generate a reflective awareness about the responsible exercise of sexual expression of sexualities, corporeality, and emotional manifestation.

This article explores how digital platforms have changed working conditions and labor relations in domestic and care work in recent years. The study focuses on Hogarú, a digital platform in Colombia. Through a qualitative study involving interviews and focus groups, we analyze Hogarú's business model, along with the changes in working conditions for domestic workers compared to traditional employment methods. The study highlights two main findings. First, digital platforms can enhance domestic workers' bargaining power by raising awareness of their rights, professionalizing their work, promoting physical meeting spaces with other workers, providing ongoing training, and ensuring fundamental rights. Second, while digital platforms can shift the traditional labor relationship from one where the domestic worker directly offers care services to one managed by the company, power imbalances and low recognition of this work persist. This article offers insights into digital labor platforms from the perspective of the workers involved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this work is to analyse the constitutional doctrine developed in relation to the jurisdictional conflicts in matters of equality, especially in relation to the legislation emanating from the autonomous communities with the purpose of preventing, raising awareness and eradicating gender-based violence, as well as to establish comprehensive reparation mechanisms for victims. This doctrine, contained in Constitutional Court Judgments 159/2016 and 44/2024, analyses how the jurisdiction on gender policies, contained in some new-generation Statutes of Autonomy, should be interpreted, a jurisdiction established in the last of the cited judgments. of own or genuine content. As a consequence, the autonomous communities established their own gender policies not only under the protection of said jurisdiction but also other sectoral ones (housing, education, health, etc.) given the transversal nature of the subject. Firstly, the article briefly analyses the legislative framework, at both the State and regional levels, regarding gender-based violence, with special attention to possible jurisdiction overlaps. Secondly, it carries out a study of Constitutional Court Judgments 159/2016 and 44/2024 and the scope that these rulings confer on the autonomous communities in the regulation of said matter.

Social networks are expanding more and more, attracting more subscribers and adolescents consume these services in a poorly controlled manner, allowing an interaction with strangers from anywhere in the world. This has allowed cybercriminals to abuse their victims with mechanisms such as sexting and grooming, especially affecting the adolescent population. This article aims to propose a cybersecurity strategy that supports the adolescent population based on gamification, giving a point of prevention associated with sexting and grooming to reduce different levels of risk. The method used was to make use of processes for the identification of cybersecurity problems on the Internet, through different controls and applying them in a cybersecurity educational strategy to students from a primary education institution in the city of Medellín, Colombia. As a result, in the diagnostic test it was found that only 31.2% of the students responded positively to the questionnaire and once the strategy using gamification was applied, it was found that 93.7% of the students significantly improved their answers. With the application of the non-parametric test using the statistical method for the calculation of the sign test, it was found that the cybersecurity strategies using gamification managed to increase the level of awareness. It is concluded that for the identification and prevention of risks on the Internet that go against adolescents the application of mechanisms that manage to generate controls such as awareness through gamification becomes essential.

The article analyzes the problem of duplicate registration in the database of refugees in Kenya, which has led to Kenyan citizens being at risk of statelessness. It is estimated that over 40,000 Kenyans have fallen victim to this duplication, which prevents them from obtaining a national identification card and fully enjoying their rights. The causes of this duplication include the voluntary registration of some Kenyan communities in the refugee database to access aid, as well as the registration of children born to refugee fathers and Kenyan mothers. This situation has resulted in limitations on freedom of movement and access to government services and socio-economic opportunities for the affected individuals. The Kenyan government has issued an ultimatum to UNHCR to design a plan for the closure of the Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps. The article discusses the issue of duplicate registration in Kenya and the actions taken to address it. The NGO Haki na Sheria has filed an appeal to halt the repatriation process for victims of duplicate registration. The Kenyan Data Protection Act and the establishment of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner are mentioned. The Kenyan government has been conducting review processes to resolve the problem, and a plan for socio-economic inclusion has been designed for both refugee and host communities. The article highlights the importance of raising awareness about data security and the risks of duplicate registration. [Extracted from the article]

The article titled "Aging and Autism: Current and Future Challenges for Aging Individuals with Autism in Apnabi Autism Bizkaia" addresses the little-known phenomenon of aging in individuals with autism. It highlights the difficulty of evaluating the aging process in individuals between 30 and 50 years old with significant support needs. The article describes the activities carried out to date in relation to this topic, such as studies, training, the creation of specific tools, campaigns, and awareness programs. Physical, emotional, and cognitive indicators of premature aging in individuals with autism are also mentioned. The article discusses the aging of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the challenges they face, such as a lack of friends and dependence on family members and caregivers for social support. The low employment rate in this group is also highlighted, as well as the need to investigate how aging and employment affect individuals with autism. A project by the organization Apnabi to address the aging of individuals with ASD and their families is mentioned, with the aim of generating knowledge, training, and social awareness on this topic. The project "ActivaTE A la vida saludable" focuses on priority areas such as personalization, health, training, safety, and community participation. Internal tools have been developed to detect and monitor premature aging, and awareness and training actions have been carried out for professionals and families. In addition, partnerships have been established with other autism-related entities to share knowledge and training. The article presents the results of an evaluation project on aging and health in individuals with autism in the Adult and Employment Area. The importance of prevention and identification of individuals vulnerable to premature aging processes is highlighted. Adaptations have been made to personal plans to include goals related to health prevention and healthy lifestyle habits. Furthermore, trainings and meetings with professionals and families have been conducted to raise awareness on the topic. The project has been recognized by other entities in the sector and is considered innovative and replicable. Lessons and challenges are presented, such as the importance of early diagnosis and employment as a protective factor against premature aging. Apnabi advocates for supported employment and other employment modalities to improve quality of life and prevent premature aging. The Employment Area of Apnabi will develop training programs, psychological support, and collaboration with companies to address these issues. [Extracted from the article]

This article explores how Taiwan and Spain have confronted their traumatic pasts under dictatorships and how 21st-century films have served as tools for preserving and transmitting collective memory, as well as constructing national identity. Despite peaceful democratic transitions in both na- tions, there are still open wounds, particularly regarding victims of state violence and the recovery of memory. We establish a dialogue between Spain and Taiwan, revealing the need for further sociopoliti- cal progress. Additionally, the power of cinema to generate awareness and social and academic interest in collective memory is highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Higher Education must confront the challenges of Environmental Education and socioeducational inclusion. In order to address these challenges, methodologies such as Service-Learning have been employed to enhance the awareness of the university community regarding their environmental needs. This paper presents the University Service-Learning Project developed with 44 students of the Degrees in Early Childhood Education and Social Education and 10 students with intellectual disabilities of the Inclusive University Studies of a public university (Madrid). The main objective is to promote quality, inclusive and sustainable education in the university community through Service-Learning. The methodology is quantitative and exploratory. Through a questionnaire designed ad hoc and validated by experts, a descriptive and inferential analysis of the data has been carried out, applying Chi-square to determine the existence of differences between participants. The results show a high valuation by the students, highlighting significant differences with respect to some variables, especially in favor of students with disabilities and students of the Degree in Social Education. We conclude the value of this methodology for eco-sustainable university education as it favors the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities, curricular sustainability and compliance with university social responsibility and the 2030 Agenda.

The research analyzes the Twitter network made up of users and their interactions during the Conference of the Parties (COP) COP15 held in Montreal from December 7 to 19, 2022. The main objective is to measure the characteristics of the network and identify the key players in the conversation and the main topics addressed. We also sought to recognize if there was any relationship between the format of the messages and the level of engagement. To carry out the analysis, we used a methodology that combined quantitative and qualitative social network analysis techniques. The results suggest that communication through Twitter was a key factor in the successful mobilization of the environmental movement during COP15 and in raising awareness of the need to take concrete actions to address climate change. Likewise, the highest engagement was generated by mostly critical and urgent messages, focused on the need to take concrete action to address the biodiversity and climate change crisis. This reflects a separation between the activism reflected in the network and the scientific and political leadership present at the Summit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. The ongoing environmental degradation demands the development of ecological awareness from an early age. Schools can play a central role through active pedagogical strategies that modify students' attitudes and behaviors towards environmental protection. This study evaluated the effects of a program designed to raise environmental awareness among students. Objective. To evaluate a pedagogical strategy aimed at intensifying secondary school students' environmental knowledge. Materials and methods. A quantitative approach and a hypothetical-deductive methodology were used. A quasi-experimental design applied a 20-session awareness program to 33 and 31 students from a population of 222 students, who formed the control and experimental groups, respectively. A 40-item questionnaire was employed to investigate the cognitive, affective, conative, and active dimensions, achieving a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.941. Results. The data were processed using RStudio, showing a highly significant change (p<0.05) in these dimensions compared to the control group, with 80.6% of students reaching outstanding levels of environmental awareness. Conclusion. The implemented environmental awareness program positively transformed attitudes and behaviors towards ecological protection, demonstrating its usefulness as a pedagogical strategy promoting sustainability in the classroom.

Democratic innovations aim to involve the citizenry in public decision-making and have taken on various forms. This research assesses a participatory budgeting initiative that incorporates random selection and places emphasis on deliberation in its design. This pilot experience is conducted at the University of Malaga and focuses on the inclusion of the LGTBIQ+ community within the faculty. The objective is to analyze the effects of this design on participant profiles, as well as on polarization and the perceived quality of the deliberative process. Thirty-six students participate in the deliberative phase. A quantitative investigation with surveys is carried out, employing a pretest and posttest design with a single group. The results indicate that random selection allows for the inclusion of profiles somewhat less aligned with the demands of the LGTBIQ+ community, as well as with more diverse attitudes and emotions. Furthermore, concerning polarization, the process heightens positive attitudes toward investing resources in raising awareness about non-binary identities. Simultaneously, participants perceive a high deliberative quality in the dimensions studied. These results are exploratory, as they pertain to a pilot study with a small sample size.
