The prototype tool aims to operate within the currentNDMS processes and hospital systems to advance patient care, specifically servingconflict-related casualties.

"The Village of Yakutia has about 50,000 people. Its harsh winters and remote location make heating a living space very expensive. The rising price of fossil fuels has been reflected in the heating expenses of Yakutia residents. In fact, many residents are unable to afford heat for the entire winter (5 months). A Northeastern Federal University study shows that 38% of village residents have gone without heat for at least 30 winter days in the last 24 months.

The survey included four sections. The firstsection utilized the Learning Activities Survey (LAS) aimed at measuring the extent of eachstage of transformative learning experienced by students in their first-year engineering courses[13]. The second section collected data regarding the extent of changes the students experiencedin their habits of mind and the factors that may have influenced those changes. Cranton [15]conceptualized six dimensions of habits of mind: Philosophical, Moral & Ethics, Psychological,Sociological, Epistemic, and Aesthetic. The third section
