Summary: Although Computer Science is a highly demanded career, only a small percentage of students choose to study it directly. Lack of information about the field and the work computer scientists do may be the problem. This article presents a project that promotes Computer Science through Computational Thinking activities among primary and secondary education students. The results show that specific training can improve students' perception of Computer Science and that gender does not affect students' Computational Thinking skills, particularly at the primary education level.

Summary: Education plays a vital role in addressing food waste among consumers. However, current research on children's food waste at school lacks focus on the effectiveness of interventions and neglects the influence of behavioral and social factors. In this study, we assess the short and long-term impact of an environmental lesson on food waste levels, taking into consideration both behavioral factors and social influence. Our findings suggest that while the lesson initially reduces self-declared food waste, this effect is not sustained over time. Additionally, concerns about the environmental implications of food waste increase significantly, indicating a lasting impact.

Summary: Climate change education in different school contexts was examined in this article based on an interview study with Finnish and Tanzanian primary students. The analysis revealed that most students understood the severity of climate change, but also demonstrated misconceptions about its causes, consequences, and mitigation. Variations in students' reasoning were found to be influenced by their different contexts.

Summary: This study evaluates the impact of motivation on mathematics students' performances by analyzing indicators of the mathematics learning dimensions. The findings reveal a significant relationship between student motivation and perceptions of teaching practices and the use of resources for study. High motivation is associated with positive perceptions of teaching practices, and there are no gender differences. Additionally, the motivation indicator allows for the categorization of students into different motivational profiles.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of environmental values on students' environmental knowledge in a German primary school by providing an authentic, out-of-school learning experience on fresh water supply. Results show that the value of Preservation has a direct positive impact on pre-knowledge, while the value of Utilization has a larger negative effect across all testing times.

Summary: The Earth's biodiversity is declining rapidly, and it is important to create awareness of nature and the environment by promoting species knowledge. This study found that students have more knowledge about vertebrate species than invertebrates, and high species knowledge positively affects environmental knowledge and attitude towards the environment. Therefore, promoting species knowledge is crucial for increasing biodiversity awareness.

Summary: This study used network analysis to assess the relationship between Internet addiction symptoms and suicidality. The findings revealed that Internet addiction symptoms were common among primary and secondary school students in China and were significantly associated with suicidal ideation and suicide plan. Targeted strategies such as strengthening self-control, sense of belonging, and connectedness may be important in reducing the risk of both suicidality and Internet addiction among primary and secondary school students.

Summary: This study analyzed the concentration of particulate matter and their sizes in seven schools in northeast Spain. The study found differences in particle concentrations based on location and sampling point, aiming to improve the habitability and safety of teaching spaces. Different levels of particulate matter were observed in rural, industrial, and urban locations, with resuspension from indoor and outdoor sources playing a significant role in particle concentrations inside classrooms.

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.

Summary: This study uses survey data from the Loess Plateau in China to evaluate the impact of social interaction on the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) technology by farmers. The study finds that social interaction increases the likelihood of farmers adopting SWC, and internet use moderates this effect. The positive impact of social interaction on SWC adoption is more pronounced for farmers in larger villages and those who join cooperative societies.
