Open education recognition systems are transforming how skills and competencies are validated across formal, informal, and non-formal learning environments. This scoping review examines current practices in open recognition systems—including micro-credentials, digital badges, and open educational resources (OER) completion certificates and participation badges—with particular emphasis on their application and potential in climate education. Following systematic search strategies across eight databases, we analyzed 70 publications (2010–2024) comprising journal articles, book chapters, institutional reports, and conference proceedings to map existing evidence, identify key concepts, and uncover gaps in applying these systems to climate education. The analysis reveals that while these systems have significant potential to bridge academic learning with professional demands and environmental action, their impact is limited by persistent challenges: lack of definitional consistency and quality-assurance standards across institutions; significant technological barriers to credential portability and verification; and lack of awareness and trust from employers, undermining these credentials’ currency in the labor market. Despite these challenges, notable findings include the growing importance of micro-credentials for validating climate adaptation skills, the value of open badges in recognizing interdisciplinary competencies essential for environmental action, and the need for integrated qualification frameworks that can accommodate both formal and informal learning pathways in sustainability education. This integration is critical for validating the interdisciplinary and action-oriented skills demanded by the green economy, often acquired through the non-formal and informal learning pathways characteristic of environmental action and advocacy. Our review concludes that a significant implementation and research gap exists between open recognition’s potential and its application in climate education. Most notably, we find a near-complete absence of recognition frameworks for eco-pedagogical activities, perpetuating focus on technical knowledge over transformative, action-oriented learning. We recommend that future work prioritize creating robust, co-designed assessment models for these critical competencies to bridge the gap between education and meaningful climate action.

Sunflower is one of Ukraine’s most important oil crops, which is of great economic importance due to the export of sunflower oil. The growth in sunflower sowing areas is due to high profitability and market demand. At the same time, sunflower cultivation technology is complex, and production efficiency depends on many factors, including primary tillage and herbicide protection systems. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of different options for primary soil cultivation and herbicide protection on the yield and quality of sunflower seeds in the conditions of the right-bank forest-steppe of Ukraine. The research was conducted in 2022-2024 on typical low-humus chernozem at the private enterprise “Shans” (Cherkasy region). Ploughing and non-ploughing soil cultivation were used, as well as various herbicide protection options, including manual weeding. The main indicators were yield, basket diameter, weight of 1,000 seeds and seed quality. It was found that the use of effective herbicide schemes and mouldboard tillage significantly increased sunflower yield (up to 4.1 t/ha) compared to the control. Weeds significantly reduced crop yield (by 0.4-1.1 t/ha), reducing yield parameters and seed quality. Manual weeding provided a high level of control, but was labor-intensive and economically inefficient. The best results were obtained with the use of Primextra TZ Gold (4.5 l/ha) and Challenge (5.0 l/ha) herbicides in combination with mouldboard tillage. It was found that combining mouldboard tillage with an optimally selected herbicide protection scheme resulted in better indicators of basket diameter, seed weight per basket, and weight of 1,000 seeds. The results demonstrated the importance of integrating soil cultivation and chemical protection techniques to increase sunflower crop productivity. The results of the study can be used to optimise sunflower cultivation technologies in the region and increase production efficiency

This study focuses on human awareness, a critical component in human–robot interaction, particularly within agricultural environments where interactions are enriched by complex contextual information. The main objective is identifying human activities occurring during collaborative harvesting tasks involving humans and robots. To achieve this, we propose a novel and lightweight deep learning model, named 1D-ResNeXt, designed explicitly for recognizing activities in agriculture-related human–robot collaboration. The model is built as an end-to-end architecture incorporating feature fusion and a multi-kernel convolutional block strategy. It utilizes residual connections and a split–transform–merge mechanism to mitigate performance degradation and reduce model complexity by limiting the number of trainable parameters. Sensor data were collected from twenty individuals with five wearable devices placed on different body parts. Each sensor was embedded with tri-axial accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers. Under real field conditions, the participants performed several sub-tasks commonly associated with agricultural labor, such as lifting and carrying loads. Before classification, the raw sensor signals were pre-processed to eliminate noise. The cleaned time-series data were then input into the proposed deep learning network for sequential pattern recognition. Experimental results showed that the chest-mounted sensor achieved the highest F1-score of 99.86%, outperforming other sensor placements and combinations. An analysis of temporal window sizes (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 s) demonstrated that the 0.5 s window provided the best recognition performance, indicating that key activity features in agriculture can be captured over short intervals. Moreover, a comprehensive evaluation of sensor modalities revealed that multimodal fusion of accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer data yielded the best accuracy at 99.92%. The combination of accelerometer and gyroscope data offered an optimal compromise, achieving 99.49% accuracy while maintaining lower system complexity. These findings highlight the importance of strategic sensor placement and data fusion in enhancing activity recognition performance while reducing the need for extensive data and computational resources. This work contributes to developing intelligent, efficient, and adaptive collaborative systems, offering promising applications in agriculture and beyond, with improved safety, cost-efficiency, and real-time operational capability.

Introduction. In the process of soil compaction it is important to have information about the current density of the layer, as it enables to quickly adjust the load on the compacted material. The field methods of compaction quality assessment do not cope with this task, as they make point estimation within the pavement area. Therefore, continuous compaction monitoring systems installed on vibratory road rollers are becoming increasingly common. The systems developed by BOMAG and AMMANN require, among other things, the phase angle between the exciter force and the roller movement to calculate the compaction quality index. The phase angle is determined by the unbalance position sensor, which is very labor-intensive. In addition, continuous compaction monitoring systems include an accelerometer. The purpose of this paper is to develop an indirect method for calculating the phase angle from accelerometer readings.The method of research. In order to achieve the purpose of the work, a roller-soil single-mass model in a typical mode for vibratory rollers (periodic loss of contact) has been studied. As a result of modeling it has been found that the reaction of the compacted material has the main influence on the vertical component of a roller acceleration and practically does not affect the horizontal component. This is confirmed by the experimental data.Results. The phase angle can be determined by mutual correlation of the horizontal and vertical acceleration signals of the roller obtained with the accelerometer.Conclusion. The study proposes a new method of calculating the phase angle between the exciter force and the roller displacement, which eliminates the direct measurement of this angle. The calculation of the angle is based on the readings of a two-axis accelerometer installed on the road roller. The proposed method enables to simplify the system of continuous compaction control and reduce the labor intensity of phase angle measurement.

Foodborne pathogens are important factors that contribute to foodborne illnesses, posing significant threats to food safety and human health, and presenting a major challenge for global healthcare systems. Contaminated food matrices are complex and often have low concentrations of early-stage pathogens, which hinder the sensitivity of existing detection methods. Traditional microbial culture methods are typically used to increase the concentration of pathogens for detection purposes, but these methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, making them inadequate for the rapid testing needs of regulatory authorities. Therefore, there is an urgent need for effective methods of isolating and enriching foodborne pathogens to accurately detect early-stage contamination in food and ensure food safety. In recent years, magnetic nanoparticles have been extensively studied. By modifying their surfaces with recognition elements that can specifically bind to pathogens, they can effectively isolate and enrich foodborne pathogens in complex food matrices. When combined with existing highly sensitive detection methods, these magnetic nanoparticles enable rapid early-stage detection of foodborne pathogens. This article provides an overview of Magnetic nanoseparation technology, the coupling methods of magnetic nanoparticles with recognition elements, the types of recognition elements, and the application of combined detection methods. The aim is to provide reference for the development of rapid detection methods for foodborne pathogens.

Nail capillaroscopic examination is an inexpensive and easily applicable method to identify capillary morphological changes in patients with conditions such as systemic sclerosis and Raynaud’s. The detection of changes in capillaries makes an important contribution to diagnosing these diseases. Capillary morphology is important in the symptoms of these diseases, and capillary diameter, visibility, distribution, length, microbleeds, blood flow, and density are important indicators in capillaroscopic evaluation. Manual examination to determine these parameters is subjective, causes inconsistent results, and is labor-intensive and time-consuming. To overcome these problems, a YOLOv8s-based system was proposed in this paper to detect the number, thickness, and density of capillaries in the nail bed. The system’s components include database systems that store the analysis results, artificial intelligence-based software that runs on the SBC (Single-Board Computer), and recorded microscope images. mAP and F1_score parameters were used to evaluate the system’s performance, and values of 0.882 and 0.83 were obtained. The proposed system is promising in improving the diagnosis process of diseases such as systemic sclerosis and Raynaud’s by providing objective measurements and the early diagnosis and monitoring of diseases.

Although solar photovoltaic (PV) system costs have declined, capital cost remains a barrier to widespread adoption. Do-it-yourself (DIY) system designs can significantly reduce labor costs, but if they are not attached to a building structure, they require ground penetrating footings. This is not technically and economically feasible at all sites. To overcome these challenges, this study details systems designed to (1) eliminate drilling holes and pouring concrete, (2) propose solutions for both fixed and variable tilt systems, (3) remain cost effective, and (4) allow for modifications to best fit the user’s needs. The ballast-supported foundations are analyzed for eight systems by proposing two separate ballast designs: one for a single line of post systems, and one for a double line of post systems, both built on a 4-kW basis. The results of the analysis found that both designs are slightly more expensive than typical in-ground concrete systems by 25% (assuming rocks are purchased at a landscaping company), but the overall DIY system’s costs remain economically advantageous. Sensitivity analyses are conducted to show how modifications to the dimensions influence the weight of the system and thus change the economic value of the design, so users can trade dimensional freedom for cost savings, and vice versa. Overall, all wood-based PV racking system designs provide users with cost-effective and easy DIY alternatives to conventional metal racking, and the novel ballast systems presented provide more versatility for PV systems installations.

Objectives. The need to apply methods and models to support the educational process at universities including the formation and management of academic discipline programs (ADPs) is determined by the growing need for the active implementation of various automation tools including integrated information systems, which arise in response to a number of regulatory and legal factors. Such social factors result in the significant increase in the volume and categories of information circulating within business processes of an educational organization, as well as the expansion of the requirements for ensuring the protection, storage, and transmission of information. In recent years, the Government of the Russian Federation has approved the national “Digital Economy” and “Education” projects (including the Federal Project “Digital Educational Environment”) emphasizing the growing role of informatization and digitalization processes in education. In this connection, an obvious discrepancy arises between the theoretical characteristics of information flows existing in educational organizations and the methods of its collection, processing, storage, analysis, and application used in practice. One of the most important conceptual components of the educational process in higher education institutions is the ADP, which organizes the relationship between various components of the educational process: curriculum, competencies, training areas, learning technologies, and methods for conducting the control check of students’ knowledge. The labor-intensive and variable nature of ADP development and implementation requires the introduction of information technologies. Thus, the aim of the present work is to analyze the volume and structure of institutional educational programs in order to identify the necessary software requirements.Methods. The classification of learning management systems according to various criteria, key requirements for academic disciplines, and ADP structure is considered.Results. An analysis of links between the ADP and key entities of the educational process is presented. The functionality of the self-developed ADP module for implementing at RTU MIREA is aimed at providing interconnection, transparency, and availability of links between academic discipline parameters and its sections.Conclusions. Introducing the ADP module allows reducing the time spent on developing the program by providing universal templates of academic disciplines, along with the possibility of autofilling the academic discipline parameters and tracking the current status of ADPs, as well as increasing the level of awareness of participants in the educational process.

Wheat-cotton double cropping has improved crop productivity and economic benefits per unit land area in many countries, including China. However, relay intercropping of full-season cotton and wheat, the most commonly adopted mode, is labor-intensive and unconducive to mechanization. The direct sowing of short-season cotton after wheat (CAW) has been successful, but cotton yields and economic benefits are greatly reduced. Whether the relay intercropping of short-season cotton before the wheat harvest increases cotton yields remains unclear, as does the earliness and fiber quality relative to those for CAW. Therefore, we directly planted short-season cotton after wheat harvest on 15 June (CAW) as the control and interplanted short-season cotton in wheat on 15 May (S1), 25 May (S2) and 5 June (S3), which were 30, 20 and 10 days prior to wheat harvest, respectively, from 2016 to 2018. The crop growth, yield, yield components, boll distribution, and earliness of the cotton were evaluated. The yields and earliness of short-season cotton under relay intercropping were 26.7–30.6% and 20.4–42.9% higher than those under CAW, respectively. Compared with CAW, relay intercropping treatments increased the boll density, boll weight and lint percentage by 5.6–13.1%, 12.5–24.5% and 5.8–12.7%, respectively. The dry matter accumulation and harvest index under the relay intercropping treatments were also greater than those under CAW, which might be attributed to the greater partitioning of dry matter to the seed cotton than to the boll shells. Among the relay intercropping treatments (S1, S2 and S3), the lint yield did not differ, but S1 and S2 were considerably better than S3 based on earliness and fiber quality. The analysis of the within-plant spatial boll distribution showed that more bolls were formed on the lower to middle fruiting branches and at the first fruiting sites for S1 and S2 than for S3 and CAW. Therefore, the increased earliness and fiber quality induced through early relay intercropping (S1 and S2) could be attributed to an improved spatial boll distribution compared to late relay intercropping (S3) or CAW. Conclusively, compared to late relay intercropping and CAW, early relay intercropping considerably increased the lint yield, fiber quality, and earliness by improving the yield components, boll distribution, and dry matter accumulation and partitioning. The relay intercropping of short-season cotton 20 to 30 days before wheat harvest represents a promising alternative to CAW in wheat-cotton double-cropping systems in the Yellow River Basin of China and other regions with similar conditions.

Objective: to generalize the world experience of lung cancer screening using modern diagnostic methods. Material and Methods. Literature search was performed in Medline, Cochrane Library, Elibrary, PubMed systems, including publications describing the current capabilities of laboratory, instrumental and molecular genetic methods for early diagnosis of lung cancer, 58 of which were used to write this review. Results. The review highlighted the results of international randomized trials of lung cancer screening using sputum Cytology and low-dose computed tomography. Special attention was paid to the description of modern molecular and genetic biomarkers of lung cancer, such as epigenetic markers, microRNAs, the use of proteomics technology, metabolomics, microbiome research, and biomarkers from liquid biopsy. The analysis of the world literature confirming the prospects of methods of non-invasive diagnostics of tumor processes based on the analysis of exhaled air was carried out. Conclusion. The use of modern screening methods will significantly improve the effectiveness of early diagnosis and, as a result, cancer treatment. Starting treatment at an early stage can significantly increase the patient’s chances of recovery and faster social and labor adaptation. As a non – invasive method of cancer diagnosis, an electronic nose can act as a set of gas sensors and a certain method of information processing. An electronic nose based on relatively cheap gas sensors has comparable accuracy, ease of data collection, mobility, and other advantages compared to the above mentioned devices.

BACKGROUND:Armed conflict, natural disaster, and forced displacement affect millions of children each year. Such humanitarian crises increase the risk of family separation, erode existing support networks, and often result in economic loss, increasing children's vulnerability to violence, exploitation, neglect, and abuse. Research is needed to understand these risks and vulnerabilities and guide donor investment towards the most effective interventions for improving the well-being of children in humanitarian contexts. METHODS:The Assessment, Measurement & Evidence (AME) Working Group of the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (ACPHA) identified experts to participate in a research priority setting exercise adapted from the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI). Experts individually identified key areas for research investment which were subsequently ranked by participants using a Likert scale. Research Priority Scores (RPS) and Average Expert Agreement (AEA) were calculated for each identified research topic, the top fifteen of which are presented within this paper. RESULTS:Intervention research, which aims to rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of standard child protection activities in humanitarian settings, ranked highly. Child labor was a key area of sector research with two of the top ten priorities examining the practice. Respondents also prioritized research efforts to understand how best to bridge humanitarian and development efforts for child protection as well as identifying most effective way to build the capacity of local systems in order to sustain child protection gains after a crisis. CONCLUSIONS:Rigorous, scientific research that assesses the scope of child protection risks, examines the effectiveness of interventions to improve child well-being, and translates evidence to practice is critical. Findings from this research priority setting exercise offer guidance for a global research agenda on child protection in humanitarian settings, encouraging cooperation among donors, implementers, and academics to pursue a coordinated approach to evidence generation.

Transition from school to work is a main issue with many fields of study. Studies on transition from school to work, have highlight the importance of two categories of factors at the level of the individual formal proceedings which may affect how easy it is to graduate to integrate into the labor market: 1) so far as the educational systems are transmitting specific competences as compared with those general and 2) so far as there are direct links between employers and the education system. In this way, are reduced the costs of selection and allocation for employers. A poor articulation between educational institutions and the labor market produce a high level of unmatched competences of assimilated by formal education and competencies required of the labor market (skill mismatch) (Parodi et al., 2012). The surveys with European employers reflect particular difficulties that they are experiencing in employment vacancies. Investigation on the European companies in the spring of 2013 found that 40% of the firms in the EU have difficulty in finding employees with suitable qualification (CEDEFOP-European Center for the Development of the Vocational Training, 2014). Skills mismatch is a generic term that refers to various types of imbalances between skills and competences offered and those required in the labor market. Concept has become one intensely discussed and submitted to measurement in international research on the background concerns the under-utilization human resource. Numerous opinion polls with employers come to the same unexpected conclusion - that despite high unemployment many posts can't find occupants satisfactorily prepared and identify the causes: most of them criticized the lack of skills of the candidates or the absence of skills specific to the workplace. Based on the latest studies on international databases have built a set of questions that, through secondary analysis, we tried to find answers. Questions that we try to give answer are: What are the main types of skills mismatch? What are the main ways to measure skills mismatch? What are the indicators of skills mismatch? What is the level of over-education and under-education in European countries? How to calculate skills mismatch between demand and supply of labor at European level? What factors explain the different labor market chances of young people compared to adults? What are the predictors at the macro level and individual level of skills mismatch?
