AI for Health Equity: Bridging the Urban–Rural
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Health Equity, Rural Healthcare, Digital Transformation, Telemedicine, Ethical AI This research investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance health equity by bridging the persistent divide between urban and rural healthcare systems. While AI has demonstrated remarkable potential in diagnostics, telemedicine, and predictive analytics, its implementation remains highly uneven across regions. Urban centers benefit from robust digital infrastructure, while rural and remote communities face limited connectivity, workforce shortages, and cultural barriers to adoption. Drawing on recent global studies, this paper analyzes how AI-driven tools can reduce geographic health disparities, provided that ethical, infrastructural, and educational foundations are addressed. Through a qualitative synthesis of open-access research and selected interviews with digital health practitioners, the study identifies critical enablers of equitable digital transformation: inclusive data practices, culturally adaptive design, community-driven capacity building, and hybrid telehealth models that integrate human expertise with machine intelligence. The paper proposes a framework for AI-Enabled Health Equity built on three strategic pillars: 1. Access and Infrastructure, ensuring digital connectivity and interoperability for rural clinics; 2. Trust and Transparency, promoting algorithmic explainability and patient confidence; 3. Local Capacity and Co-Creation, empowering rural health workers through participatory AI training and design. By reframing AI as a socio-technical ecosystem rather than a purely technological upgrade, this research contributes to ongoing debates on inclusive digital health transformation and sustainable innovation in underserved areas.

Leading with Impact through Leadership Styles to Shaping Organizational Growth
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Measurement, transformational, transactional, strength-based, adaptive, servant leadership The study of leadership styles is significant in both theory and practice, as leadership approaches profoundly influence individual and organizational performance. This paper examines the five primary leadership styles—transformational, transactional, strength-based, adaptive, and servant leadership—by exploring their defining characteristics and practical applications. Transformational leadership is distinguished by key elements such as intellectual stimulation, inspirational communication, and a compelling vision. Transactional leadership, in contrast, is characterized by contingent reward systems and management by exception. Strength-based leadership focuses on identifying, utilizing, and developing individual strengths to enhance team performance. Adaptive leadership equips leaders with the ability to navigate complexity and change effectively. Finally, servant leadership prioritizes the well-being of followers, emphasizing ethical behavior, emotional support, and empowerment. Various models and measurement frameworks for these leadership styles are also discussed to guide future research and practice.

Community-Based Tourism: Challenges, Strategies, and a Conceptual Framework for Sustainable Development
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Community-Based Tourism, Sustainable Rural Development, Socio-Economic Justice, Local Community Participation Community-Based Tourism (CBT) is an emerging approach to tourism development that emphasizes the active and meaningful participation of local communities in managing tourism resources, with the aim of ensuring sustainable, equitable, and culturally grounded development. This study identifies the key challenges, opportunities, and strategic requirements for CBT through a qualitative approach and documentary analysis. By focusing on essential components such as socio-economic justice, local empowerment, and environmental sustainability, the multidimensional nature of CBT is explored. The findings reveal that centralized governance, infrastructural inadequacies, limited financial capacity, tokenistic participation, inequitable benefit distribution, and weak stakeholder coordination are among the major barriers to CBT development. To address these challenges, strategies such as community education, delegation of authority to local institutions, infrastructure enhancement, justice-oriented policymaking, and improved multi-stakeholder collaboration are proposed. Furthermore, the comparative analysis of successful and unsuccessful CBT experiences in Iran and other countries highlights the necessity of designing frameworks rooted in genuine participation, the mobilization of indigenous capacities, and long-term commitment to sustainability principles. These insights provide practical implications for policy, planning, and management of community-based tourism initiatives.

Theoretical Frameworks for URBIO Bauhaus and New European Bauhaus Biodiversity Integration.
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: sustainable urban development, biodiversity-centered urban design, New European Bauhaus, urban ecosystem services The integration of biodiversity into urban development has become a critical challenge for sustainable city planning, yet it remains insufficiently embedded within dominant design and policy frameworks. This article examines the theoretical foundations, methodological approaches, and emerging empirical insights of the URBIO Bauhaus project, an initiative that extends the New European Bauhaus (NEB) framework by explicitly positioning biodiversity as a core pillar alongside sustainability, aesthetics, and social inclusion. The study synthesizes key concepts informing biodiversity-centered urban design. The analysis highlights the relevance of biophilic city theory, urban ecosystem services, landscape ecology, and nature-based solutions, while emphasizing the importance of participatory methodologies such as Living Labs, co-creation, and the Quintuple Helix governance model. Case study evidence from transnational testing in Central European cities illustrates how universal biodiversity principles can be adapted to diverse socio-spatial contexts through collaborative BIOCENTUM nodes. The findings demonstrate that integrating ecological functionality with aesthetic quality and inclusive governance can enhance urban resilience, social well-being, and environmental stewardship.

Grannycore and Mugithi on TikTok – Youth, Nostalgia, and the Digital Reimagination of Kenyan Identity
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: TikTok, Grannycore, Mugithi Music, Nostalgia, Digital Reimagination, Youth Disciplines: African culture and digital media A distinctive cultural trend is emerging among Kenyan youth on social media, especially TikTok, where users dress and act like their grandparents—using walking sticks, donning vintage attires, and dancing or lip-syncing to classic Mugithi Music. Popularly labelled as ‘grannycore,’ the highlighted trend goes beyond mere entertainment; instead, it signals a growing and deeper engagement with digital performance, ethnic identity, and cultural heritage. This study scraped and analyzed publicly available TikTok videos that focused on Mugithi (126 videos) and grannycore (39 videos). The study utilized Apify for data scraping, and statistical analysis was conducted using STATA. Quantitative elements like views, likes, shares, comments, and saves were evaluated alongside qualitative elements like user engagement and video content. The findings reveal that Mugithi enjoys high engagement and visibility, with average views hitting 409,642. In contrast, grannycore, with average views of 177,551, is in the niche category. Despite this, the granny-themed videos show strong audience interactions through saves, comments, and shares. The trend illustrates that Mugithi and grannycore are more than entertainment, and the two act as mediated forms of identity construction and general sociocultural critique. Young Kenyans on TikTok are blending tradition, satire, and digital creativity to promote and assert cultural belonging and continuity during these uncertain times.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Environmental Legal Frameworks in Italy and Their Impact on Sustainable Management and Conservation of Natural Ecosystems
type: item
description: Section: Review Articles Keywords: Italy, environmental law, sustainability, waste management, soil erosion, air pollution, Ecomafia, renewable energy, EU directives. This study provides a comprehensive review of Italy’s environmental legal frameworks and their effectiveness in promoting sustainable management and conservation of natural ecosystems. Building on primary legal documents—including the Codice dell’Ambiente (Legislative Decree 152/2006) and the 2022 constitutional reform of Article 9—as well as EU directives, peer-reviewed literature, and empirical reports, the research systematically examines how law shapes environmental outcomes across multiple domains. The review highlights a paradox: Italy has some of the most advanced environmental legislation in Europe, yet persistent implementation gaps undermine its effectiveness. In waste management, northern municipalities such as Parma have achieved recycling rates above 80%, showcasing best practices, while southern regions remain affected by illegal dumping and the pervasive influence of the Ecomafia, a criminal network with an annual turnover of nearly €9 billion. In water infrastructure, Italy suffers the highest distribution losses in Europe (42% of potable water), reflecting chronic underinvestment despite robust legal obligations. Renewable energy now accounts for 39% of electricity generation, driven largely by solar, but the country lags behind EU leaders such as Sweden and Denmark due to administrative delays and insufficient grid capacity. Soil erosion averages 8 t/ha/year, among the highest in Europe, while PM2.5 concentrations in the Po Valley frequently exceed both EU and WHO thresholds, contributing to an estimated 60,000 premature deaths annually. Hydrogeological risks further compound vulnerabilities, threatening both communities and cultural heritage. Comparative analysis reveals that Italy outperforms countries such as France and Spain in certain fields (packaging recycling, solar energy), y…

A phenomenological study of abstract art through the mediation of human psychological processes
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Phenomenological, Abstract art, Human psychological processes The phenomenology of abstract art seeks to interpret and understand the meaning inherent in abstract works of art through the direct experience and perception of the viewer, where forms, colors, and lines help express the feelings, concepts, and inner experiences of the artist and the viewer, rather than representing reality. Abstract art focuses on aesthetic and psychological experience and allows the viewer to discover a personal and unique meaning in the meaning of the work. The importance of phenomenology in abstract art is related to a deeper understanding of the experience of the concepts and feelings inherent in the works of art and the relationship between the work and its audience, and deals with the "self-essence of objects" in abstract painting. Human psychological processes are a set of mental and psychological activities including perception, attention, memory, motivation, emotion, thinking, and problem solving that affect his behavior, feelings, and decisions, and form the basis for the formation of his personality and individual experience. From the perspective of abstract art phenomenology, human psychological processes are of fundamental importance because abstract art allows the viewer to discover their own psychological processes in the face of the artwork and a kind of internal dialogue is formed between the artwork and their mind. By focusing on lived experience and the indirect transmission of emotions and concepts, abstract art highlights the importance of human psychological processes on both sides of the producer (artist) and the audience (viewer).

Scattered Energy: The Hidden Enemy of Creative Flow
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: scattered energy, creativity, embodiment, academic work, sustainable practice Disciplines: higher education, creativity, vignettes, reflection Creativity requires a lot of mental and physical energy. Scattered energy might create a cognitive overload, resulting in an inability to distinguish what is of the essence from what is just clutter filling up our to-do list. That, in turn, could lead to creative, physical, and mental burnout. This short piece grew out of a conversation on embodiment in academia. It explores what it might mean to conserve, redirect, and reclaim our energy, offering a small proposal for doing things differently, more freely, and with intention. Written as an open personal reflection, the article follows three dispersed academics as they examine their own practices and consider what it takes to sustain creativity in a world that constantly pulls us in multiple directions. It argues that embracing slowness, setting boundaries, and recognising the embodied nature of academic work are crucial steps toward more intentional and sustainable creative practice. As a playful provocation, it proposes a fictional, yet very real, course for educators, focused on how to harness scattered energy in service of their own creative and scholarly work.

Visual Language in Architectural Heritage: A Semiotic Analysis of the Fahadan Hotel in the Historic City of Yazd, Iran
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: Architectural Semiotics, Symbolic Space, Cultural Sign System, Iranian Architecture, Qajar Architecture, Yazd, Fahadan House This study delves into the intersection of semiotics and architecture through an in-depth analysis of the Fahadan Hotel Museum, formerly known as the Tehrani-ha House. This significant property from the Qajar period is located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Historic City of Yazd, Iran. Drawing upon semiotic theory, the research interprets the visual language of the building as a cultural text composed of signs, symbols, and meanings embedded within its architectural elements. The study examines both the exterior and interior features of the house through denotative, connotative, metaphorical, and metonymic lenses. The findings reveal that architectural forms in Iranian heritage, such as domes, wind-catchers, symmetry, light manipulation, and material choices, function as a semiotic system that reflects spiritual, social, and environmental values. This paper posits that Iranian architecture extends beyond mere aesthetic and functional dimensions, serving as a medium for cultural communication. The semiotic analysis of the Fahadan House underscores the effectiveness of semiotic tools in deciphering the symbolic grammar of architectural heritage and contributes to broader discussions on space, identity, and cultural continuity.

Rethinking contemporary psychological approaches through the mediation of creativity
type: item
description: Section: Review Articles Disciplines: psychology, Educational Administration Rethinking contemporary approaches to psychology in the world involves reexamining and critiquing the foundations and methods of this science in the face of new challenges and social changes. This means seeking innovative and more inclusive approaches to understanding and treating psychological problems. Rethinking contemporary psychological approaches is a necessary process that helps us adapt this science to the changing needs of modern societies. By utilizing innovative and more inclusive approaches, we can achieve a deeper understanding and more effective treatment of psychological issues. Creativity, as a multidimensional and dynamic phenomenon, is no longer considered solely as an individual trait, but rather as a complex process influenced by individual, social, and cultural factors. Contemporary psychological approaches emphasize the importance of nurturing and enhancing creativity in all aspects of life and believe that creativity can help improve performance, enhance quality of life, and increase individual and social well-being. Therefore, the present study aims to rethink contemporary psychological approaches through the important role of creativity.

The Unavowable Body: Radical Stillness in Mina Heidari’s Ineffable Art Series
type: item
description: Section: Research Articles Keywords: unavowable body, radical stillness, anatomic violence, exposure, presence, opacity Disciplines: Art History, Feminist Studies, Genger Studies, Posthumanism, Philosophy, Literary Theory & Criticism , Trauma Studies, Visual Arts This article examines three artworks I conceptually frame as The ineffable art series by an emerging Iranian female artist Mina Heidari. This exhibition was initially showcased as a three-part drawing series at the 2025 World in Balance festival in Hamburg. The three artworks titled: Condemnation, Decay, and Denial/Refusal, are a meditation on feminine agency, embodied violence and the dialectics of silence and visibility. Heidari’s work draws from her multidisciplinary background in art, science and activism as well as her censored Iranian context. Employing a philosophy of silence and opacity, where the unspoken becomes a site of agency and resistance, her art transforms personal and political repression into a universal feminist poetics of liberation. Through the recurring motif of a metonymic eye, she traces contours of an unavowable body, from violent exposure to a sacred disavowal, challenging viewers to engage not through sight but through embodied presence. Blending ethical witnessing with posthuman and queer feminist lenses, my analysis underscores how Heidari’s drawings reconfigure the female body as a living archive of trauma and resilience. Ultimately, this article argues that Heidari’s art suspends narrative closure to enact ‘radical stillness’, an unspoken poetics that reconfigures embodied silence as a potent language of resistance and ethical witnessing. Using the female body’s fragmented vitality to defy patriarchal and colonial silencing, Heideri invites viewers to dwell in the unspoken— to honor the scars that persist, the fragments that haunt, and the opacity that protects, in response to acute and chronic trauma.

Bridging Artistic Boundaries: Interdisciplinary Connections in Architectural Education – A Review of Selected Cases from Western and Iranian Architects
type: item
description: Section: Review Articles Keywords: Architecture, art, educational spaces The interplay between various sciences, particularly artistic disciplines, is a profound and intricate relationship. Throughout the history of architectural education, many renowned architects have demonstrated remarkable abilities in artistic fields beyond their primary expertise. The correlation between art and architecture has been researched and acknowledged in certain architectural schools, with scholars identifying it as a key factor in enhancing students' creative output. However, the significance of this topic has been largely overlooked in many educational settings, especially in newer institutions, despite the potential of space and architecture to foster social interaction among students. This paper underscores the importance of this relationship and its impact on promoting educational creativity among designers. To achieve this objective, we examine the lives and works of the selected prominent architects and theorists, emphasizing their connections with various art forms and artists from other disciplines. We then analyze how these interactions have influenced their architectural achievements. Additionally, as case studies, we explore more the impact of this relationship on the lives and works of renowned architects, including Le Corbusier, Houshang Seyhoun, and Kamran Diba. This study is primarily based on a review of relevant library resources.
