Abstract: Energy related issues have been actively present in economic literature since the 1973 oil crisis. As early as 1865, W.S Jevons expressed his concern about the eventual depletion of coal resources in his book “The Coal Question” ^[4]. One of the best - known early attempts to work on the economics of exhaustible resources was made by H. Hotelling who derived a price path for non-renewable resources, known as Hotelling’s rule ^[5]. As Engineering Materials are energy driven, their configurations are not hazardous but rather driven and determined by precise laws of minimization of energy. This is not only true for homogenous elastic materials, but also for new composite materials, in the context of elasticity, viscoelasticity, thermos - elasticity etc. Hence the need to carry out extensive research on the nature, how, and why minimizers are reached and how they explain important phenomena such as cavitation, fracture, fatigue and damage that might provoke cost effectiveness of energy. The foregoing constitutes just one aspect of this study.

Keywords: Energy Policy, Biomedical Engineering, Engineering Materials, energy driven.

Abstract: Psychic predictions made by a prominent Filipino psychic frequently go viral on Facebook, generating intense public engagement and influencing how social media users interpret uncertainty, danger, and future events. These posts circulate widely during moments of collective anxiety, making it important to understand how such messages are constructed and how audiences make sense of them. Yet, fear-based messages like psychic predictions remain largely understudied in communication research, particularly in relation to rhetorical construction, persuasive strategies, and patterns of audience reception in digital spaces.

This study examines selected viral prediction posts of a prominent Filipino psychic and their public reception on Facebook. It analyzes the rhetorical strategies embedded in the predictions, the thematic patterns in audience responses, and how audiences appraise the messages based on perceived threat and efficacy. Guided by Aristotle’s Rhetorical Theory and Witte’s Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM), the study employed a qualitative interpretive research design, analyzing three highly engaged prediction posts—Calamity, Accident, and Death—along with their corresponding audience comments.

The analysis shows that the predictions rely primarily on emotional appeals, with pathos emerging as the dominant rhetorical device that intentionally instigate fear and urgency. Ethos appears intermittently through assertions of prophetic insight, while logical reasoning is largely absent. Audience responses reflect varied interpretive approaches, with faith-based comments being the most prominent across all datasets. EPPM appraisal indicates that perceived efficacy appears more frequently than perceived threat, suggesting that many commenters respond by invoking prayer, vigilance, or precautionary behaviors. Non-EPPM responses, including humor, skepticism, and off-topic remarks, occur but are comparatively limited.

These findings highlight how viral psychic predictions function as persuasive fear narratives that shape public engagement by appealing to emotion and perceived credibility. The study contributes to ongoing discussions on digital fear communication and underscores the importance of enhancing public vigilance and critical evaluation when encountering fear-driven content online.

Abstract: The creation of new heterocyclic scaffolds with improved pharmacological profiles has become necessary due to the growing global problem of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial strains. In this investigation, a number of unique 2-(5-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)The in vitro antibacterial potential of -1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-5-(alkylthio)-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives (6a–h) was carefully planned, produced, and assessed. The biologically powerful pyrazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole nuclei were integrated into the molecular architecture of these hybrids, and fluorine-rich pharmacophores were then added to maximize lipophilicity and metabolic stability.The synthesis procedure produced a 1,3-diketoester intermediate by Claisen condensation of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)acetophenone with diethyl oxalate. A combination of positional isomers (3a and 3b) was obtained via cyclization with 4-fluorophenyl hydrazine hydrochloride. The distinction of these isomers using $^1$H NMR spectroscopy, where the magnetic anisotropy of the 4-fluorophenyl ring verified the shielding of the bis-trifluoromethyl phenyl protons in the major isomer 3a, was an important analytical discovery of this work. A carbohydrazide intermediate was used to convert 3a into the 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol scaffold. The final library was then obtained by nucleophilic S-alkylation with different alkyl halides.

Several compounds have strong inhibitory activity, according to the antimicrobial screening against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. With a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 12.5 $\mu$g/mL against Pseudomonas aeruginosa—two times more effective than the reference standard, chloramphenicol (MIC 25 $\mu$g/mL)—the parent thio-oxadiazole intermediate 5 stood out as a particularly strong lead. Increasing the length of the S-alkyl side chain (such as n-butyl and allyl groups) is correlated with improved antibacterial activity, according to Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) studies. These results highlight the trifluoromethyl-substituted heterocyclic hybrids' potential as viable options for the creation of antimicrobial agents of the future.

Abstract: Teaching Modes are three: Transmissive, Transactional and Transformative. We examine a translation from Transmissive to Transformative Pedagogy, a reflection on respective works of Andrew Johnson (Human Being, Professor of Literacy) and of Shri Uday Mehta, Dr. S.R. Pandya. Transformative pedagogy empowers both teachers and learners. It encourages learners to be reflective and critical thinkers who are able to contribute meaningfully as members of local and global communities. It also redefines role of teachers. Teachers become facilitators with the disposition, knowledge, skills and commitment to support students to develop their full potential as peace-builders (Transformative Pedagogy for Peace Building, a guide for Teachers, UNESCO-IICBA, 2007).

Keywords: Teaching Modes, Transformative Pedagogy, peace-builders.

Abstract: Participatory arts interventions are increasingly recognised as effective tools for enhancing emotional wellbeing, student engagement, and collaborative learning within educational environments. Rhythm-based activities and laughter-based therapeutic approaches have each demonstrated positive psychological and social outcomes. However, limited research has explored the integration of rhythmic percussion and structured laughter within a single educational methodology.

This study examines the implementation of Laughter Percussion, a participatory arts practice developed by Professor Idi (Ras) Banamungu, within a primary school environment. The research was conducted at CAPS Kurrawang Primary School in Western Australia over a six-week period. Sessions were delivered once per week, with five classes participating each week in 45-minute Laughter Percussion workshops.

Using observational qualitative research methods, the study examined student engagement, social interaction, rhythmic participation, and emotional response during the sessions. Findings suggest that Laughter Percussion contributed to increased classroom engagement, improved collaborative behaviour, and enhanced emotional expression among students.

The results indicate that rhythm-based laughter practices may provide an innovative interdisciplinary approach for supporting emotional wellbeing and participatory learning within educational contexts.

Abstract: This study examines the career orientation of social work students at Hanoi National University of Education in the context of digital transformation. Specifically, it explores students’ professional awareness, attitudes toward the profession, factors influencing career choice, self-assessed core professional competencies, and perceptions of digital transformation in Social Work education and practice. The study employed a quantitative survey design with a sample of 272 undergraduate social work students. Data were collected through a structured google form questionnaire and processed using SPSS 22.0. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the major dimensions of the study. The findings show that students reported relatively high levels of professional awareness of social work (M = 4.19), ability to apply digital technologies (M = 4.16), and self-assessed core professional competencies (M = 4.06). In contrast, attitudes toward the profession (M = 3.76) and factors influencing career choice (M = 3.59) were more moderate. Students also showed fairly positive perceptions of digital transformation, especially in relation to professional change, career education, and the positive impacts of digital applications, while still recognizing challenges such as information overload, confidentiality risks, and the pressure to continuously update digital skills. In terms of post-graduation intention, the largest group reported that they might work in social work after graduation, whereas fewer students had made a firm commitment to the profession. Overall, the study suggests that students possess a relatively solid foundation of professional awareness, values, and digital readiness, but their long-term career commitment remains less stable. These findings highlight the need for social work education to strengthen career guidance, practice-based learning, and professional identity development in the digital era
