Technical development and future prospects of cooperative terminal guidance based on knowledge graph analysis: a review
Cooperative guidance is a method for achieving combat objectives through information sharing and cooperative effects, and has emerged as a significant research area in the fields of missile guidance and systematic warfare. This study presents a systematic review and analysis of current research on cooperative guidance. First, a bibliometric analysis is conducted on 513 articles using the Scopus database and CiteSpace software to assess keyword clustering, keyword co-occurrence, and keyword burst, and to later visualize the results. Second, fundamental theories of cooperative guidance, including relative motion modeling methods, algebraic graph theory, and multi-agent consensus theory, are summarized. Subsequently, an overview of current cooperative laws and corresponding analysis methods is provided, with categorization based on the cooperative structure and convergence performance. Finally, we summarize current research developments based on five perspectives and propose a developmental framework based on five layers (cyber, physical, decision, information, and system), discussing potential future advancements in cooperative terminal guidance. This framework emphasizes five key areas of research: networked, heterogeneous, integrated, intelligent, and group cooperations, with the goal of offering trends and insights for future work.

Intercultural Educational Guidance: Theoretical and Practical Approaches for its Understanding in Pluricultural Environments
Objective: To deepen the understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity, promoting the development of competencies that foster interculturality in pluricultural educational environments. Methodology: Based on an updated bibliographic review, the relationship between educational guidance and interculturality is analyzed, highlighting the importance of promoting mutual understanding and social cohesion. Results: The findings indicate that intercultural educational guidance is based on the premise that knowledge and appreciation of diverse cultures enrich individual and collective life, which overcomes stereotypes and prejudices. Furthermore, this perspective recognizes cultural diversity as a source of wealth that entails the responsibility to build more inclusive and respectful societies. To this end, emphasis is placed on implementing educational strategies such as the pedagogy of questioning and critical reflection, which are key to consolidating an intercultural educational guidance approach. This approach not only promotes equity and inclusion in educational settings, but also prepares individuals to face the challenges and seize the opportunities of a globalized world. Conclusions: In this sense, the role of the guidance professional is fundamental in promoting equity and social justice within educational settings. Their work involves guiding learning from an intercultural perspective and promoting awareness-raising and training processes that empower students, teachers, families, and communities to understand and respect diversity, thereby building more just and supportive communities enriched by values that enhance social and cultural coexistence.
