Global geoparks, i.e., the members of UNESCO Geopark (UGGp) network, possess highly valuable geoheritage resources, which can be used for purposes not only education and tourism, but also science. Five examples from four Latin American countries (Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru) were employed to realize importance these global geoparks as facilitators international research. Journal articles devoted selected with major bibliographical databases, information them was analyzed quantitatively. Particularly, numbers published before after UGGp membership, paying significant marginal attention by teams calculated; general themes outlined. It established that total number publications grew membership steadily. The dynamics publishing are unstable differ between geoparks. Geoparks Mexico (Mixteca Alta) Peru (Colca y Volcanes de Andagua) notable because they started facilitate research membership. Many consider marginally (nonetheless, there especially in cases two Mexican geoparks). author often restricted America. rather diverse (geoheritage, geology, ecology, innovations, society, technology), although majority geoheritage-focused. Of special interest is Colca Andagua geopark, has been considered innovation-focused article. Generally, our results indicate a moderate activity incomplete exploitation their scientific potential. Two (Comarca Minera Mixteca seem most successful facilitation Indeed, utility should strengthened.

Over the past 25 years, geoconservation studies and interest in geoheritage have grown significantly. However, assessment of degradation risks associated with geosites remains less explored. This aspect is crucial for effective management conservation geosites, which face pressure from natural human factors. In many countries, are at risk or loss due to lack a systematic inventory inadequate management. Therefore, evaluating monitoring priority scientific community. Common investigation schemes approaches recognizing preventing threats still lacking. paper presents first literature review on related terms. Through an extensive search widely used databases, 130 papers were selected analyzed. The findings highlight growing focus quantitative risk, most research conducted local scales, while identifying climate change as underexplored yet critical factor. Future priorities include refining spatial temporal understanding processes, fostering global collaboration improve strategies.

The geoheritage present on the “Tindari Cape and Marinello Lakes” site (TCML, Messina Province, NE Sicily, Italy) drew our attention due to acquired contrasting information. Indeed, TCML was classified in geosite national catalogue as a (albeit under non-evaluated status with regional scientific interest), whereas it of attention. coastal included this analyzed by means literature review, field work, sedimentological petrographic investigation. Moreover, reconstruction historical modern evolution lagoon spit’s shapes carried out across time span 85 years. investigation results were used for inventorying quantitative assessment Brilha method. primary preeminent interest geomorphological, spit being an active geomorphosite. This system showed elements rarity, representativeness, exemplariness. Secondary-type structural, palaeontological aspects also evidenced geological found cliffs Tindari Cape. For geodiversity, value (SV), potential educational use (PEU), touristic (PTU), degradation risk (DR) evaluated. obtained weighted scores 320 250 290 285 (DR). high SV suggested that TCML, its could be geosite. Notwithstanding, moderate PEU, PTU, DR (fragility vulnerability depending natural climate anthropogenic factors) values indicated not fully compatible purposes. provide data are useful establishing global geosite, placing catalog geosites.

The evaluation of teaching quality in vocational college English online courses is crucial. It monitors the process, ensures objectives are met, and improves course quality. Flexible methods comprehensively reflect outcomes, making a scientific system essential for improvement. colleges multiple-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM). Recently, LogTODIM approach MACONT was constructed to put forward MAGDM. interval neutrosophic sets (INSs) as tool managing fuzzy data during colleges. In this work, number LogTODIM-MACONT (INN-LogTODIM-MACONT) MAGDM under INSs. Ultimately, numerical analysis validate proposed approach.

The evaluation of quality in higher education management focuses on assessing the effectiveness, efficiency, and overall performance administrative processes within institutions. This also identifies areas for improvement, fosters accountability, supports continuous development to enhance institutional competitiveness a rapidly changing educational environment. is Multiple-Attribute Group Decision-Making (MAGDM) problem. In this study, CoCoSo approach identified MAGDM with INSs Interval neutrosophic sets (INSs). Subsequently, interval number Hausdorff Hamming distance (INN-HHD-CoCoSo) light (INNHHD), developed MAGDM. entropy utilized determine weight INNHHD under INNs. Ultimately, numerical example provided illustrate INN-HHD-CoCoSo approach.
