This study explores how minoritized indigenous teachers in Vietnam use translanguaging between Bahnar and Vietnamese to support indigenous students’ learning and participation in mainstream classrooms.

This study employs high-resolution UAV thermal imagery and machine learning to analyze microscale urban heat patterns in a vulnerable residential neighborhood in Daejeon, South Korea, identifying key factors such as alley width and proximity to rivers that influence thermal vulnerability. By informing targeted heat mitigation strategies in urban regeneration areas, the research supports SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), advancing the World Population Day goal to �Leave No One Behind� by addressing localized climate risks in densely populated, marginalized urban settings.

This chapter aligns well with the SDGs—primarily SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well‑Being), while also supporting SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). By using NFHS‑5 data on women 15–49, the study directly addresses indicator 2.2.2 (anemia prevalence) and provides NCD risk‑factor evidence relevant to SDG 3.4. The clear geographic and socioeconomic disparities you report underline the need for context‑specific, equity‑focused interventions and state‑level monitoring. To strengthen SDG relevance, map each outcome to specific SDG targets/indicators, use survey‑adjusted estimates, and propose measurable, region‑tailored actions for tracking progress.
