Neuroarchitecture and Mental Health: The Role of Sustainable Building Materials in Cognitive and Emotional Well-Being

Growing interest in sustainable architecture has highlighted not only ecological benefits but also potential impacts on mental and neurological health. This review explores the emerging field of neuroarchitecture, focusing on how environmentally friendly building materials influence cognitive function, stress regulation, and emotional well-being. A narrative review was conducted across interdisciplinary literature in neuroscience, environmental psychology, biophilic design, and sustainable architecture. The review analyzed peer-reviewed studies on eco-friendly materials—including wood, bamboo, cork, and stone—and their influence on neurological biomarkers, sensory engagement, and psychological health. Preliminary evidence suggests that exposure to natural, non-toxic materials is associated with reduced stress markers (e.g., lower cortisol), improved mood, and enhanced cognitive clarity. Some studies indicate potential links to increased neuroplasticity, greater hippocampal activity, and reduced neuroinflammation; however, these findings are largely derived from animal models or short-term human studies. Materials such as untreated wood and cork provide multisensory stimuli (visual, tactile, olfactory) that may activate brain regions involved in emotional regulation and attention. Sustainable materials may offer neuropsychological benefits that extend beyond aesthetics and environmental responsibility. While early evidence is promising, more longitudinal and mechanistic research is needed to confirm their impact on mental health. Integrating biophilic principles with evidence-informed material selection could transform how architects and designers support well-being through the built environment.

Enhancing Road Safety and Network Intelligence through Vehicleto-Everything (V2X) Communication: Architectures, Models, and Performance Analysis

Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication is a transformative and rapidly advancing paradigm that enables real-time, bidirectional data exchange between vehicles, infrastructure, pedestrians, and broader network systems using wireless technologies. As urban mobility becomes more complex and traffic congestion, collision rates, and demand for safer and more efficient transportation rise, V2X emerges as a key enabler of smart mobility and autonomous driving. By integrating various modes of communication—including Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle-to-Network (V2N), and Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P)—V2X provides a unified platform for situational awareness and proactive decision-making. This paper offers a comprehensive survey of V2X communication modes, detailing their architectures, use cases, and deployment challenges. Each communication mode plays a distinct role in enhancing traffic flow, improving road safety, and reducing the burden on human drivers. Moreover, the study introduces mathematical models designed to evaluate crucial performance metrics such as latency, packet delivery ratio (PDR), and network throughput under varying conditions, including traffic density, node mobility, and infrastructure placement. The simulation results underscore the impact of relay node positioning, Road Side Unit (RSU) density, and packet size on the efficiency and reliability of V2X networks. The concluding section highlights the need for dependable and scalable V2X infrastructure and advocates for the integration of intelligent routing algorithms, adaptive communication strategies, and context-aware systems. These advancements are vital to achieving robust, future-proof smart transportation networks that can adapt to evolving technological and societal demands.

Characterization of Sweet Pepper (Capsicum chinense) Collected in Venezuela

In Venezuela the term sweet pepper is referred to the species Capsicum chinense, very important vegetable in Venezuelan gastronomy. The objective of this study was to characterize morphologically a collection of Capsicum chinense, composed by accessions collected in Venezuelan home gardens, supermarkets, wholesale markets, familiar retail markets, enterprises and agricultural research institutions. Seeds from twenty five accessions collected from seven out of twenty three states in Venezuela were planted in field under a random complete blocks design with four replications, and twenty two morphological traits (vegetative and reproductive traits, including plant, stem, leaf, flower, fruit and seed traits) proposed by IPGRI descriptor were evaluated on a total of 20 plants per accessions. The most discriminant traits were related to the fruit, especially weight, color, shape of the apex, width, and shape. Principal components and phenogram were able to group similarly the 25 accessions based on the 22 morphological traits. No relationship between the statistical grouping and the geographical collection site was found. Broad morphological diversity found, especially at fruit-associated traits allows to project a comprehensive using of Capsicum chinense genetic resources, and therefore to assume future successful Capsicum chinense breeding programs in Venezuela to get new cultivars adapted to Venezue lan agro climatic and market conditions.

Effectiveness Of Virtual Agricultural Channels Broadcasted Through Youtube As Perceived By The Farmers

YouTube is one of the most widely used social media platforms for accessing agricultural information, general news, and entertainment. This study aimed to assess farmers’ perceptions of the effectiveness of virtual agricultural channels broadcasted through YouTube in Dumuria Upazila, Khulna District, Bangladesh. Data were collected from 80 respondents using a snowball sampling technique through personal interviews conducted between August 25, 2022, and February 27, 2023 using an interview schedule. Information on farmers’ perceptions gathered, and ten popular YouTube channels were selected for evaluation. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis, while Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient measured the relationships between independent and dependent variables. The findings revealed that 86.25% of respondents perceived virtual agricultural channels on YouTube as less effective overall. However, individual channel evaluations indicated that Shykh Seraj and Math Krishi were considered highly effective, whereas Agamir Krishi and Krishi Bioscope were perceived as less effective. Among the 13 characteristics analyzed, education, extension media contact, knowledge of virtual agricultural channels, contact with other virtual media, and extent of exposure to YouTube-based agricultural content showed a positive significant relationship with perceived effectiveness. Conversely, age, family size, and farming experience demonstrated a negative significant relationship. The primary challenge limiting the effectiveness of these virtual channels was the high cost and inaccessibility of required materials (77.5%), while the least common issue reported was the accuracy of information (52.5%). These findings highlight the need to enhance the accessibility, affordability, and reliability of YouTube-based agricultural content to better support farmers in Bangladesh.

AI-Based Train Localization Using Railway Infrastructure Object Detection

This paper presents an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based approach to train localization through the detection of railway infrastructure objects using convolutional neural networks. The proposed system identifies key visual landmarks such as traffic lights, level crossings, tunnels, bridges, and passenger platforms directly from live video streams captured by onboard cameras during train operation. This enables accurate and continuous localization without relying on satellite navigation systems or additional trackside infrastructure. The object detection model is based on the You Only Look Once (YOLOv11) architecture. It is trained using high-performance Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) resources and subsequently converted and optimized for deployment on the energy-efficient RK3588 neural processing unit (NPU). The system achieves a mean average precision of mAP@0.5:0.95 = 0.52 and operates in real time at approximately 35 frames per second, meeting the practical requirements for onboard applications. Compared to traditional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based solutions, the proposed method is inherently resilient to signal jamming and spoofing while significantly reducing infrastructure costs. Its low power consumption and high-speed inference make it especially well-suited for integration into modern railway systems operating at higher automation levels. The results confirm the feasibility of this AI-driven approach as a scalable and robust solution for train localization in diverse operational conditions.

Justice, Democracy, and Freedom in the Middle Ages: The Fables by Marie de France

It might be surprising, and yet it can certainly be confirmed that the Anglo-Norman poet Marie de France offered in her Fables (ca. 1190) a wide range of political, social, moral, and philosophical notions about the way people within her society should and could live together in a peaceful, just, and respectful manner. She did not question the foundations of feudalism or of monarchy, but she developed strong messages about ethical principles that should guide all individuals in their living together, irrespective of social classes, implying the close observation of privileges and obligations, responsibilities and duties to the collective. We do not find in Marie a social revolutionary; instead, she voices simply deep concerns about injustice, violation of the laws and the principles of ethics, and thus criticizes many shortcomings within her time, which all prove to be rather telling for our modern world, at least in the West. Although she was certainly not a revolutionary, she clearly signaled her deep concerns about the global problems and failures within her society, and this is rather contrary to most of our expectations of the medieval world. Drawing from her fables, we find ourselves in the unique opportunity to reflect on fundamental concerns in all human interactions, both in the past and the present. In short, as I will argue, her short verse narratives provide us with an amazing literary compass regarding conflicts and tensions, human desires, feelings, and values in all our lives, seen here through a medieval lens. We can even discover comments about the need for individual freedom, contrary to modern assumptions about the Middle Ages.

Europarties in the European Parliament Elections-2024 and Their Impact on the EU Main Political Institutions Formation

The article analyzes the results of European parties’ participation in the 2024 European elections and their impact on the formation of key political institutions of the European Union, such as the European Council, the European Commission, the European Parliament (EP), and others, as well as the changing balance of power between pro-European and Eurosceptic forces in the results of these elections, and their impact on the future prospects of the EU. The issues of resolving cultural and interethnic conflicts, which were of particular concern to the majority of European voters, played an important role in this election campaign. Another important issue of concern to European society was the problem of further strengthening the process of European economic, political and cultural integration. Based on the election results author concludes that although the pro-European forces, managed to maintain their dominant positions in the leading EU institutions, the dissatisfaction of a significant number of European citizens with the undemocratic and non-transparent formation and activities of the leadership of the major EU institutions remains in place, and in a number of EU countries it is even growing. Thus, following the results of these elections, the third largest right-wing conservative Eurosceptic parliamentary group named Patriots for Europe has been formed in the EP, which declares itself the main opposition force. The most radical members of the EP formed an even more rigid Eurosceptic Europe of Sovereign Nations Group. In the near future, this may cause serious threats to the stability and effectiveness of the EU.

Integrating GraphRAG and GIS for Cultural Heritage Digitization: A Case Study of Jiangbei District

With the rapid advancement of digital technologies, the preservation and management of cultural heritage face both new opportunities and challenges. Jiangbei District in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, is home to a substantial number of immovable cultural relics requiring systematic documentation and scientific oversight. In response to the Fourth National Cultural Relics Survey, this study proposes a data-driven approach to support the digital management and sustainable use of these resources.The research adopts a structured methodology encompassing data collection, organization, analysis, and exploration. Through the curation of both historical and newly acquired records—including combing, cleaning, and filtering—a complete framework was developed. Based on this, a digital platform was constructed to integrate, manage, and visualize cultural heritage data.Visualization techniques were employed to present the spatial distribution and associative characteristics of heritage sites, facilitating intuitive understanding and enhancing decision making capabilities. The resulting platform supports structured data management, enabling more effective cultural relic protection, knowledge inheritance, and cross-sectoral application.Beyond technical outcomes, the platform also contributes to public engagement and education by improving accessibility and promoting awareness of cultural heritage. This broader societal impact supports not only the long-term preservation of local culture but also encourages community involvement and cultural literacy.Overall, this study lays a foundation for the digital transformation of cultural heritage work in Jiangbei District and offers a replicable model for other regions seeking to combine heritage protection with modern digital methodologies. It provides both a practical management tool and a reference for interdisciplinary research and heritage-based development initiatives.
