Vol. 2 No. 2 (2025): Science, Society and Emerging Technologies

The present volume of Science, Society and Emerging Technologies encompasses a broad range of inquiries designed to foster interdisciplinary approaches in academic and professional settings. The studies compiled herein address structural integrity, retrofitting strategies, and emerging methods for optimizing construction processes. Educational sciences are approached through discussions on playful pedagogy, anti-racist methodologies, and the application of neuroscience and digital technologies in the early years of instruction. Insights related to psychology, gender and sexual diversity, and the use of children’s literature underscore the volume’s emphasis on socially responsive and inclusive research. 
Sustainability, environmental stewardship, and public health appear as interwoven themes, including research on urban wastewater management, risk assessment of pharmaceutical interventions, and strategies for improved agricultural output. Further contributions explore pathways for innovation in manufacturing, material performance, and the development of safety protocols aimed at preventing accidents within construction and industrial environments. Attention is also directed toward the formulation of guidelines for quality control in the food industry, highlighting the importance of standardized practices and adherence to health regulations. 
Emphasis on new technologies, whether artificial intelligence or sustainable industrial processes, underscores the influence of emerging tools in modern problem-solving. The diverse perspectives contained in this volume underscore the importance of interdisciplinary dialogue, illustrating how educational, structural, environmental, and healthcare spheres converge to inform innovative solutions and optimize societal well-being.
