\|	\|	Proposed in 1954, Alisov's climate classification (CC) focuses on climatic changes observed in January-July in large-scale air mass zones and their fronts. Herein, data clustering by machine learning was applied to global reanalysis data to quantitatively and objectively determine air mass zones, which were then used to classify the global climate. The differences in air mass zones between two half-year seasons were used to determine climatic zones, which were then subdivided into continental or maritime climatic regions or according to east-west climatic differences. This study renews Alisov's CC for the first time in almost 70years and employs data-driven machine learning to establish a standard for causal CC based on air masses.	3.0 parsecs away Travel

\|	\|	[AI summary] The article discusses the need for a paradigm shift in design education to address complex, real-world challenges. It outlines the current limitations of design education, which often focuses on artifact-oriented problem-solving and lacks integration with emerging technologies and systems thinking. The text highlights the importance of rethinking design curricula to incorporate interdisciplinary approaches, critical thinking, and a broader understanding of social, environmental, and technological contexts. It also addresses the role of design in fostering innovation, sustainability, and societal impact, emphasizing the need for design education to evolve beyond traditional frameworks to better prepare students for the challenges of the future.

\|	\|	Over the past 100 years, social science has generated a tremendous number of theories on the topics of individual and collective human behaviour. However, it has been much less successful at reconciling the innumerable inconsistencies and contradictions among these competing explanations, a situation that has not been resolved by recent advances in 'computational social science'. In this Perspective, I argue that this 'incoherency problem' has been perpetuated by an historical emphasis in social science ...	4.1 parsecs away Travel
