            <description><![CDATA[

This article analyses the role of informal learning in contexts of vulnerability and discusses its implications for an ontological reconceptualisation of education in relational terms. Adopting a non-individualising definition of vulnerability—understood as a position produced by institutional structures and structural inequalities—the article offers a conceptual review of the literature on poverty, forced migration, socio-economic marginalisation and systemic crises. It argues that the informal sector supports three interrelated functions: daily survival, biographical and cultural continuity, and agency (individual and collective), while often remaining invisible within educational systems regulated by epistemic hierarchies that privilege formal and certified knowledge. The article then develops a five-step framework (produced vulnerability, functions of the informal, epistemic (in)justice, learning ecologies, relational ontology) and discusses its implications for recognition-oriented research, practices and policies.

            <description><![CDATA[

Gender inequality and limited institutional maturity in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) remain persistent challenges within European STEM research environments, particularly in Mediterranean contexts. This article presents preliminary results from the EU-funded Horizon Europe project STEP (STEM and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion for Research Enhancement in Portugal), which adopted an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach to systematically embed EDI within research and teaching practices. The study aims to explore how EDI can function not merely as a compliance requirement, but as a strategic driver of cultural and institutional change.
Methodologically, the article draws on qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with key institutional actors involved in the project’s coordination, analysed through the combined lenses of neo-institutionalism and Actor-Network Theory. This framework allows examination of both macro-level institutional pressures and micro-level socio-technical dynamics shaping organisational change.
Findings indicate that STEP contributed to increased institutional awareness, greater confidence among underrepresented groups, and the systematisation of EDI practices across governance, research management, and academic life. The project fostered interdisciplinary dialogue between STEM and the Social Sciences and Humanities, supported the mainstreaming of EDI, and facilitated the transition from symbolic adoption to more embedded practices.
The article concludes that even short-term, small-scale European projects can catalyse sustainable cultural and institutional transformation when EDI is treated as an integral component of research governance rather than an administrative obligation.

            <description><![CDATA[

Aim: This article analyzes the survival horror video game Haunting Ground (Capcom, 2005) to investigate how interactive media reflect and problematize gender-based violence and female vulnerability. The primary aim is to explore the tension between the protagonist’s sexual objectification and the emergence of female agency within the game’s narrative and mechanical structures.
Method: Adopting a socio-semiotic approach and utilizing theoretical frameworks from Game Studies and Sociology of the Body, the study examines the game’s specific “procedural rhetoric.” The analysis focuses on the “Panic Mode” mechanic as a form of radical embodiment and the interspecies alliance with the dog companion, interpreting them through the lenses of biopolitics, the male gaze theory, and post-human philosophy.
Results: The results indicate that Haunting Ground functions as a “problematic object”: while it reiterates the male gaze through visual sexualization, it simultaneously subverts traditional power fantasies by forcing the player to experientially navigate social fragility. The game suggests a model of resistance based on care, negotiation, and interdependence rather than brute domination, challenging the biopolitical exploitation of the female body represented by the antagonists.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the article argues that video games can serve as complex sociological tools for deconstructing gender norms. By placing the player in a position of situated vulnerability, the medium fosters a critical and affective awareness, highlighting the potential of video games as spaces for social resistance, ethical reflection, and educational transformation regarding gender dynamics.

            <description><![CDATA[

This article examines the processes of medicalization and bio medicalization as key dynamics shaping contemporary relationships between body, health, and subjectivity. Drawing on sociological theories of rationalization, biopower, and social control, the paper analyses how health has progressively shifted from contingent condition to a permanent moral project. Through a theoretical framework informed by Weber’s concepts of disenchantment and re-enchantment and Foucault’s notion of biopower, the article shows how medical knowledge, technoscience, and market logics converge in producing normative standards of health and responsible self-care. Medicalization is interpreted not merely as the expansion of medical authority, but as a broader mechanism of governance that encourages self-monitoring, prevention, and performance-oriented lifestyles. While these processes promise autonomy and empowerment, they also contribute to the individualization of social problems, the moralization of illness, and the reinforcement of social inequalities. Health thus emerges as a privileged site where rationalization and symbolic meaning intersect, transforming care of the self into a socially regulated moral obligation rather than a purely biomedical concern.

            <description><![CDATA[

The rapid expansion of digital technologies has made digital competence a fundamental requirement for adults’ participation in modern society. However, disparities in access, skills, and socio-economic conditions continue to limit digital inclusion. This article provides a structured literature review of digital skills and competence development among adults, with particular attention to the role of socio-economic factors and educational strategies.
The analysis highlights that digital competence extends beyond basic technical skills to include cognitive, social, and critical dimensions necessary for effective participation in digital environments. The findings indicate that socio-economic status significantly influences access to digital resources and learning opportunities, reinforcing existing inequalities. Furthermore, the literature emphasizes the importance of lifelong learning, flexible educational models, and community-based approaches in supporting adult digital skill development.
The study contributes to the field by synthesizing current research and identifying key gaps, particularly the need for more integrated and inclusive approaches to digital competence development. The results have implications for policymakers and educators seeking to design effective strategies to reduce the digital divide and promote equitable participation in the digital society.

            <description><![CDATA[

The article examines job satisfaction among higher education teachers amid digitalization. It analyzes theoretical approaches from international, Russian, and Kazakhstani researchers, including Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, Deci and Ryan’s Self-Determination Theory, Maslach’s Burnout Theory, and kazakhistan’s research on pedagogical motivation and professional identity.
To quantitatively assess job satisfaction among university teachers under digitalization conditions, the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire was used. This tool allows the determination of both general and specific levels of professional satisfaction, based on a wide range of parameters, including working conditions, opportunities for career development, interaction with administration and colleagues, and the degree of autonomy and recognition. The use of this questionnaire is justified by its high validity and reliability, as well as its international recognition as one of the most valid methods for assessing employees’ subjective attitudes toward their professional activities.
Given the study’s specific focus on digitalization, the questionnaire was adapted to better reflect the current professional environment. This adaptation preserved its diagnostic accuracy and enabled broader analysis, allowing job satisfaction to be correlated with respondents’ age and their ICT competence level. This made it possible to identify correlations between digital factors and teachers’ psychological well-being and to clarify how organizational and technological factors affect teachers’ perceptions of their work. The findings show that ICT competence is positively associated with job satisfaction (mean = 4.3), while increased workload and insufficient institutional support are key sources of dissatisfaction.
The authors emphasize the need to improve ICT skills, create mentoring programs, and prevent emotional burnout among teachers. The conclusions show that job satisfaction depends on many factors and offer recommendations to improve teachers’ well-being in a digital environment.

This article develops an analysis of mafia-type organizations, conceptualizing mafia power as a system of domination sustained by violence, social control, and the erosion of rights. Using the ’ndrangheta as a case, it combines legal analysis with qualitative methods. It shows how the threat of violence is normalized in everyday life and how mafias act on the frameworks of memory through intimidation, silence, and selective remembrance. The article argues that recognition of innocent victims and their families links memory to justice as a right to truth and to substantive—not merely formal— justice. Drawing on Halbwachs, Alexander’s cultural trauma approach, Todorov’s exemplary memory, Bourdieu’s symbolic violence, and Rodotà’s “right to have rights,” it frames antimafia remembrance as critical memory: a democratic practice that converts private grief into public claims and reactivates citizenship in mafia-affected territories through encounters, testimony, and education.

There is a consistent adaptation process involving the government and the public administration caused by the completely new needs that emerge in a society in full evolution. There is a continuous negative perception of the system involving the system of sport and the state’s public system. This happens everywhere, increasing the problems and requiring new models and solutions that promote public policies in the sport. The sports system has become an agent of social transformation, built based on good fellowship and the multidisciplinary aspect. However, it has seen a strong privatization at the expense of the public system. The increasing connection of the sport with the policies for health care, education, or public safety converted to sport and physical culture led to a new vision system that is required to investigate and implement new models in public administration.
This article attempts to streamline and codify the priorities in order to strengthen public policies in sports. It is supported by the methodological parameters of a documentary, theoretical, and analytical review of the importance of sport within a State.
You want to highlight and also stimulate the integration of a solid physical culture and as the guidance on the use of public resources to promote the values and benefits that are specific to the practice of the sport in all its mod and the correct distribution on the territory in order to make it more sustainable and more inclusive growth.

            <description><![CDATA[

Overtourism is a phenomenon that is affecting various tourist destinations: until a few years ago, attention was focused on the possible environmental damage that it could cause, also in light of the growing sensitivity to the issue of sustainability. In more recent years, the excessive presence of tourists has fueled the development of spontaneous movements of rejection of the tourist presence that have clearly manifested what Delgado (2008) has indicated as tourism phobia. Tourism phobes attribute this attitude to the changed living conditions of residents due to the increase in the cost of living, the reduction of social spaces totally occupied by tourists and the changed real estate market with an artificial increase in prices and a substantial reduction in rental homes, all factors that are not compensated by the presumed economic advantages deriving from tourism, advantages that fall only minimally on residents. Without wanting to underestimate the purely economic aspects, at the basis of tourism phobia there are subtle psychological aspects that this article intends to explore in the belief that any actions to contain the anthropic impact of overtourism will not be sufficient to reduce tourism phobia without a combined action that addresses the identity system and the need for belonging of residents.

In recent years, international migration has become a widespread phenomenon within the European Union and the global economy. It involves the movement of people who cross national borders either temporarily or permanently and leave their home country. Modern migration is characterised as a global, multidirectional and large-scale process and is of great interest to Europe and the EU in particular.
After a brief introduction to the data on recent migration trends in Europe, this article presents an EU-funded project that has dealt with the specific case of humanitarian corridors, which emerged from civil society in Italy and have been implemented in several European countries since 2016. As an alternative to uncontrolled migration flows and based on solid experience, the humanitarian corridors are described as the only acceptable alternative to the lack of a common migration policy and presented as a solution to a current and timely challenge for our society today.

            <description><![CDATA[

This paper is part of a broader research and will attempt to clarify the relationship between two phenomena as complex and important on a global scale as tourism and terrorism, focusing on the analysis of the impact on tourism of the terrorist attacks perpetrated by Al-Shabaab in Kenya, where in recent years the tourist economy has become increasingly central to the country's economic development. The risk of kidnapping foreign nationals in Kenya in recent years has been high and terrorist attacks occur regularly, especially on the coast and in the two main cities of Nairobi and Mombasa. It will also examine the dynamics of the control of spaces conquered by terrorist groups and the destabilization activities carried out in Somali territory with spill-over effects in Kenya, where terrorism represents a very real threat to the country's security, a threat that the armed forces are often unable to contain.
From a methodological point of view, we will both develop a concise literature review on the new strand traceable to the geography of violence and the geography of justice and power (Lima 2015; 2020; Sabbag 2008), as well as a field survey through se-structured interviews with a 'convenience sample' and a biographic field research (local newspapers, Ministry of Defence) regarding both the activities of the Al-Shabaab terrorist group and the development and possible new trends of tourism in Kenya, will aim to understand the real impact of terrorism on the geographical area examined.

Quality Assurance (QA) is an essential component for the success and effectiveness of European projects, which are characterized by intrinsic complexity, multinational collaborations, and the management of structural funds. This article explores the role of QA, outlining its theoretical framework, analyzing specific challenges, and presenting best practices adopted to mitigate them. Through the examination of case studies, the adaptability and relevance of QA in various sectors funded by the European Union are highlighted, integrating a critical reflection on the current debate regarding the upcoming Framework Programme 10 (Horizon Europe 2028–2034) and the positions of the European University Association. The article concludes with a discussion of future prospects and emerging areas of research, emphasizing how QA can act not only as a management tool but also as a systemic guarantee of autonomy, transparency, and scientific excellence.

            <description><![CDATA[

In recent decades the academic world of universities has been grappling with another challenge: the Third Mission, or social impact. It is precisely the term Third Mission or Social Impact that generates confusion since, on the one hand, everything the academic world does has both social and economic significance; on the other hand, the academic world is called upon to dissimilate, to promote its teaching and research activities in society but excluding pure research and purely teaching activities. The manuscript aims to analyze the term Third Mission and the theories applied to it. Several SLRs have been analyzed, and the issues highlighted by the authors have been extrapolated and analyzed. Particular attention is given to academic engagement and the benefits of TM. The result could be helpful in a better understanding of the term itself and how it can be promoted among professors without creating further confusion and stress.

            <description><![CDATA[

Technological development and the increase in the elderly population are undoubtedly the two phenomena that have most characterized the last forty years. Although the elderly are credited with a certain resistance towards new things, in the last 20 years there has been a growing interest in the use of technological tools such as smartphones, PCs and tablets by the elderly population. This phenomenon has undergone a strong acceleration starting from the COVID-19 pandemic which has made technological tools indispensable in order to maintain virtual social and family relationships as it was not possible to meet people directly. Technologies promise undoubted advantages, especially for elderly people who are more easily subject to fatigue and walking problems and are more in need of constant monitoring of their health, but, at the same time, it exposes everyone, especially those over sixty-five, to collateral damage, such as reduction of in-person relationships and exposure to online scams. In this article we will try to identify the pros and cons of the diffusion of modern technological tools among the elderly.

            <description><![CDATA[

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is redrawing the boundaries of human creativity, challenging our traditional notions of art and expression while raising important sociological and anthropological questions. This article explores the complex relationship between human creativity and AI and how these new technologies are redefining the boundaries of art and creative expression. Starting from an evolutionary analysis of the concept of creativity, the article explores the impact of AI on creative processes and the perception of art. It shows how AI contributes to a “loss of aura” in art and changes the relationship between humans and the creative process. Finally, the article emphasises the importance of a critical and reflexive approach in analysing these phenomena and highlights the need for training in new technologies to cope with the complexity of these changes. This interdisciplinary study provides valuable tools to understand how AI is redefining not only the creative process but also our notions of art, authenticity and human expression in the digital age.

            <description><![CDATA[

In modern education systems, inclusive education is an approach that aims to meet the different needs of all students, especially those from underrepresented groups, by ensuring everyone has fair access to good education. It sees the value in every child and creates a setting where differences are accepted and appreciated. Artificial intelligence (AI) can change how we learn, especially in the area of inclusive education. Using AI technologies is important to meet students’ different needs, particularly those with disabilities. Studies show that AI can create personalized learning by adjusting content to fit individual needs and giving quick feedback with smart tutoring systems. Additionally, using AI in teaching methods can improve engagement for students from underrepresented groups, which helps combat existing gaps in educational success. However, even with the increasing recognition of AI’s advantages, challenges like poor infrastructure and lack of teacher training remain, making it hard to implement effectively. The manuscript’s aim is to analyse the trend of publication research. Mainly, the manuscript focuses on analyzing the paradigm that is used in research when academicians treat arguments about AI inclusion and Education. The results will create an opportunity for future discussion on the effects of AI on inclusive education, looking at both the possibilities it offers and the obstacles that need to be addressed to build fair learning environments for every student.

Artificial Intelligence is changing the future of museums, opening the door to unprecedented innovations that are revolutionising the way collections are managed and experiences are designed. This bibliometric analysis, covering four decades of research (1983-2024) from the Scopus database, explores how Artificial Intelligence is transforming museum activities — from creating personalised visitor experiences to preserving cultural treasures through advanced digitisation processes. The study shows that the number of publications on Artificial Intelligence has increased dramatically in recent years, reflecting the growing momentum in the field.
The integration of AI in museums demands careful reflection on its implications for human rights, cultural values, and social responsibility. As AI adoption accelerates, addressing ethical concerns—such as potential biases, transparency, and accountability—has become increasingly vital. Institutions are encouraged to develop robust ethical frameworks that mitigate these risks, ensuring AI does not reinforce inequalities or distort cultural representation. By embracing AI responsibly, museums can not only enhance visitor engagement and streamline operations but also uphold their commitment to inclusivity, safeguarding their role as stewards of knowledge, culture, and education.

Society today is struggling with various challenging phenomena. This manuscript aims to analyse two phenomena, ageing and digitalisation, in the context of education. Both phenomena are an important area of research: the complexity of an ageing population and the intersection of technology and education. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) offers the opportunity to improve the educational experiences of older adults. AI-driven tools and educational initiatives can be tailored to the different learning preferences and cognitive abilities of this population, promoting engagement and knowledge retention. The adaptability of AI systems enables personalised learning pathways that address individual challenges and promote lifelong learning and cognitive health in older learners. This research will highlight the critical role of AI in reshaping educational paradigms and its potential to facilitate knowledge acquisition and empower an often-marginalised population. Finally, focusing on the role of international projects will allow us to understand the trends in EU research and funding. Understanding the impact of AI on education in the third age and EU funding invites a broader discussion on inclusivity and innovation in the educational landscape.

This systematic review examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in sports, focusing on its applications in performance analysis, injury prediction, tactical decision-making, and talent identification. Drawing from a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature, this study highlights the pivotal role of AI-driven technologies, such as machine learning algorithms, computer vision systems, and predictive analytics, in transforming the landscape of sports science and management. Key findings suggest that AI significantly enhances the accuracy of athlete performance tracking, optimizes injury prevention strategies through biomechanical data analysis, and supports real-time decision-making in coaching. Despite these advancements, challenges persist, particularly regarding the interpretability of AI models, ethical considerations surrounding data privacy, and the potential over-reliance on automated systems. This review underscores the transformative potential of AI in sports while identifying critical research gaps and suggesting avenues for future investigation.
