QUESTÕES LEGAIS SOBRE A DESSALINIZAÇÃO DA ÁGUA DO MAR – REGULAMENTAÇÕES INTERNACIONAIS E NACIONAIS
Esta pesquisa examina os contornos jurídicos e institucionais atinentes à dessalinização da água do mar, tomando como ponto central a possibilidade de sua incorporação efetiva na Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos. Teve por objetivo identificar lacunas normativas, avaliar a compatibilidade da água dessalinizada com os instrumentos da Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos e analisar parâmetros regulatórios adotados em outros ordenamentos, de modo a subsidiar eventual atualização legislativa no Brasil. Para tanto, utilizou-se metodologia de natureza qualitativa, baseada em revisão bibliográfica, análise documental e exame comparado de marcos regulatórios internacionais, contemplando experiências consolidadas em países como Arábia Saudita, Israel, Espanha, Austrália, Chile, Peru e Estados Unidos. Os resultados demonstram que, embora alguns ordenamentos já reconheçam a água dessalinizada como recurso hídrico sujeito a regimes específicos de autorização, controle ambiental e tarifação, o Brasil permanece restrito ao licenciamento ambiental e a programas setoriais, carecendo de normativa que enquadre expressamente essa fonte não convencional na Lei nº 9.433/1997. Conclui-se ser imprescindível a atualização da Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos, a fim de conferir segurança jurídica à produção, distribuição e uso da água dessalinizada, compatibilizando inovação tecnológica, proteção ambiental e gestão integrada das águas.
JURIDICAL REVIEW OF VISUM ET REPERTUM AS EVIDENCE IN RAPE CASES INVOLVING MARRIED VICTIMS
Sexual violence cases, particularly rape involving married women, often present complex evidentiary challenges due to the dominance of psychological coercion and the limited availability of visible physical injuries. In such cases, Visum et Repertum (VeR) plays a crucial role as medicolegal evidence to support the criminal justice process. This study aims to analyze the legal status and evidentiary strength of VeR as a means of proof in rape cases involving married victims, as well as to examine its judicial application in Decision Number 21/Pid.Sus/2025/PN Bjw. This research employs a qualitative method with a normative juridical and literature study approach, analyzing statutory regulations, doctrines of criminal evidence, medicolegal standards, and court decisions. The results indicate that VeR holds a strong evidentiary position as both documentary evidence and expert opinion, enabling judges to verify forced penetration, assess the consistency of the victim’s testimony, and establish the element of coercion, even in the absence of prominent physical injuries. However, the findings also reveal inconsistencies in judicial interpretation, particularly when psychological pressure outweighs physical violence. Therefore, the study highlights the need for strengthened legal interpretation, harmonized medicolegal guidelines, and improved capacity of law enforcement officials to ensure the optimal use of VeR in sexual violence cases. The main legal contribution of this study lies in clarifying the doctrinal position of VeR as a scientific evidentiary instrument capable of bridging medical findings with the legal construction of sexual violence under the Indonesian criminal justice system. Practically, these findings highlight the need for clearer interpretative guidelines and improved capacity of investigators, prosecutors, and judges in understanding medicolegal evidence to ensure the optimal use of VeR in sexual violence cases.
NAVIGATING TALENT MANAGEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
The rapid advancement of digital technologies has significantly transformed how organizations manage talent in the contemporary workplace. Despite the growing recognition of the importance of talent management in various sectors, the existing body of literature remains fragmented. The integration of talent management with latest technology is rarely addressed in previous studies eventhough it needs serious attention, as technology has become the core strength of modern organizations. Addressing this gap, this study presents a systematic review of the role of strategic talent management in the digital age. Guided by the PRISMA 2020 framework, 52 empirical studies published between 2021-2025 were systematically identified from Scopus and Web of Science (WoS). Data were analysed using descriptive trend analysis to examine key aspects, emerging trends and strategic practices, major implementation of challenges, and the role of digital tools in supporting talent management to enhance organizational strategies in digital age. The findings indicate that strategic talent management (STM) remains a major factor that significantly influences organizational effectiveness in digital age, particularly through its key aspects and emerging trends. The findings also highlights the importance of addressing challenges and leveraging digital tools to support effective talent management practices various sectors. The results are categorized into four themes that include (i) key aspects of strategic talent management in digital age, (ii) emerging trends and strategic practices in talent management in digital age, (iii) key challenges in implementing strategic talent management digital age, and (iv) digital tools that support strategic talent management practices to enhance organizational strategies in digital age.
URBAN FOOD DIVERSIFICATION AND DIETARY OUTCOMES IN A MEDIUM-SIZED CITY: EVIDENCE FROM CIREBON, INDONESIA
Urban food diversification has become increasingly important in improving dietary quality and food system resilience, particularly in medium-sized cities where structural constraints limit food production and distribution capacity. This study examines the relationship between urban food diversification and dietary outcomes in Cirebon, Indonesia, by analysing food availability, consumption patterns, and stakeholder governance within an urban food system framework. A mixed-methods case study approach was employed, combining secondary data analysis of food availability and consumption indicators with qualitative insights from key stakeholders representing the pentahelix model. Dietary outcomes were assessed using the Food Pattern Score (PPH) to evaluate the diversity and balance of food consumption over the period 2019–2024. The findings indicate that overall food availability in Cirebon is sufficient; however, stability varies across food groups, with strategic commodities such as fish, chili, and shallots remaining vulnerable to price and supply fluctuations. Despite gradual improvements in dietary diversity, PPH values consistently remain below the ideal benchmark, reflecting persistent reliance on rice-based and animal-source foods and limited consumption of locally available food groups. Governance analysis further reveals the dominance of government actors and weak multi-stakeholder collaboration, constraining the effective utilisation of local food resources for diversification. This study provides empirical evidence from a medium-sized city context, highlighting the need for integrated urban food system governance and targeted dietary interventions to strengthen food diversification and improve dietary outcomes in rapidly urbanising regions.
PATRON–CLIENT RELATIONS AS LIVELIHOOD STRATEGIES AMONG SMALL-SCALE COASTAL SALT FARMERS IN INDONESIA
Small-scale salt farming livelihoods in coastal areas are characterized by persistent production and market uncertainty driven by climatic variability and unstable pricing conditions. This study examines how patron–client relations operate as livelihood strategies among small-scale salt farmers in coastal Indonesia, with particular attention to how these relations shape the management of production and market risks over time. The analysis adopts a livelihood-oriented perspective that emphasizes adaptive capacity as a process expressed through everyday household decisions rather than as a fixed outcome. Data were collected through a household survey of salt farming households operating with and without patron attachment in coastal areas of Madura Island. The results show that exposure to climatic disruption and price volatility is widespread across households, indicating that uncertainty is a structural feature of salt farming livelihoods. Differences in livelihood outcomes emerge not from unequal risk exposure, but from how households organize access to capital, markets, and support through different livelihood arrangements. The findings indicate that patron–client relations function as informal mechanisms that allow households to buffer and delay the immediate impacts of production and market shocks by converting short-term losses into deferred obligations. While these arrangements support short-term livelihood continuity, they do not eliminate uncertainty and involve trade-offs related to market autonomy and long-term dependence. The study highlights the importance of understanding social relations as integral components of livelihood strategies and offers insights for coastal livelihood governance that recognize both the role and the limits of informal risk management practices.
JORNADA EXTENUANTE E DANO EXISTENCIAL: A EXPERIÊNCIA DA JORNADA “996” E OS LIMITES DA PROTEÇÃO TRABALHISTA NO BRASIL
O presente artigo analisa a jornada de trabalho conhecida como “996”, caracterizada pela prestação laboral das 9h às 21h, seis dias por semana, enquanto expressão emblemática da intensificação do tempo de trabalho nas economias digitais contemporâneas. Parte-se do problema de investigar em que medida tal regime se mostra incompatível com os parâmetros de limitação da jornada previstos no sistema jurídico brasileiro e de que forma contribui para a precarização das relações de trabalho. O objetivo geral consiste em examinar a incompatibilidade da jornada “996” com os limites constitucionais e infraconstitucionais da duração do trabalho, bem como seus impactos sobre direitos fundamentais do trabalhador, especialmente o direito ao descanso, à saúde e à dignidade da pessoa humana. Metodologicamente, adota-se abordagem qualitativa, com análise normativa e realização de estudo de caso jurisprudencial do processo nº TST-RRAg-0012781-98.2015.5.15.0062, julgado pelo Tribunal Superior do Trabalho, no qual se reconheceu, de forma excepcional, o dano existencial decorrente da imposição de jornada extremamente extenuante. Os resultados esperados indicam que regimes de trabalho excessivamente extensivos, ainda que não formalmente adotados no Brasil, encontram correspondência prática em determinadas dinâmicas produtivas contemporâneas, contribuindo para a intensificação da precarização laboral e revelando os limites de uma tutela jurídica meramente reparatória. Conclui-se que a análise da jornada “996” permite refletir criticamente sobre os desafios atuais à efetividade da proteção social do trabalho em contextos de inovação tecnológica e reorganização produtiva.
SAÚDE PÚBLICA DIANTE DA FRAGILIDADE INSTITUCIONAL: DESAFIOS PARA A CAPACIDADE DE RESPOSTA DOS SISTEMAS DE SAÚDE
Considerando a crescente complexidade dos sistemas de saúde e a persistência de fragilidades institucionais que limitam sua capacidade de resposta frente a crises sanitárias, problematiza-se de que maneira esses elementos influenciam o desempenho dos sistemas em contextos contemporâneos. Objetiva-se analisar a saúde pública diante da fragilidade institucional, com foco nos desafios para a capacidade de resposta dos sistemas de saúde. Para tanto, procede-se a uma revisão narrativa da literatura, de abordagem qualitativa e caráter teórico-analítico, realizada nas bases PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, BVS e Scopus, além de documentos institucionais, resultando na seleção final de sete estudos após aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade. Desse modo, observa-se que a fragilidade institucional se expressa na desarticulação entre governança, financiamento, organização dos serviços e sistemas de informação, comprometendo a coordenação das ações, a continuidade do cuidado e a resposta a emergências sanitárias. Evidenciam-se ainda limitações na integração interfederativa, fragmentação da rede assistencial e insuficiência de planejamento estratégico. O que permite concluir que o fortalecimento da capacidade de resposta dos sistemas de saúde depende da integração entre governança, financiamento adequado, qualificação da gestão e organização eficiente dos serviços, sendo necessário superar fragilidades institucionais para garantir maior efetividade, equidade e resiliência no sistema de saúde.

A CARNE MAIS BARATA DO MERCADO É A CARNE NEGRA: ANÁLISE DO DISCURSO DA CANÇÃO “A CARNE”, NA VOZ DE ELZA SOARES
A música popular brasileira (MPB), enquanto prática cultural e discursiva, constitui um espaço privilegiado de produção de sentidos sobre as relações sociais, raciais e históricas no Brasil. Nesse contexto, a canção “A Carne”, composta por Seu Jorge, Marcelo Yuka e Wilson Capellette e interpretada por Elza Soares, destaca-se como um enunciado de forte denúncia do racismo estrutural e da mercantilização histórica dos corpos negros. A relevância deste estudo justifica-se pela necessidade de compreender como a linguagem musical, articulada à memória social e à ideologia, contribui para a visibilização de desigualdades racializadas que persistem no tecido social brasileiro. O objetivo geral do artigo é analisar a canção “A Carne” à luz da Análise do Discurso, investigando os efeitos de sentido produzidos pela articulação entre linguagem, ideologia, corpo e memória, com especial atenção ao papel da interpretação vocal de Elza Soares como gesto discursivo de resistência e enfrentamento político. A metodologia adotada é de natureza qualitativa e interpretativista, fundamentada na Análise do Discurso de linha francesa. O corpus de análise é constituído por fragmentos da letra da canção e por elementos da performance vocal da intérprete, compreendidos como materialidades discursivas. A canção é analisada como texto de multiplicidade de ideias, no qual se articulam linguagem verbal, musicalidade e voz, consideradas instâncias produtoras de sentidos sociais e históricos. O referencial teórico ancora-se, principalmente, nos estudos de Pêcheux (1997), que compreende o discurso como efeito de sentidos produzido nas relações entre língua, história e ideologia, e de Orlandi (2015), que enfatiza a noção de memória discursiva, o funcionamento do não-dito e a constituição do sujeito interpelado ideologicamente. Esses aportes teóricos possibilitam compreender o racismo não como fenômeno individual, mas como prática discursiva e ideológica materializada na linguagem e nas instituições sociais. A fundamentação teórica organiza-se em torno de quatro eixos centrais: a música popular brasileira como prática discursiva e espaço de produção de sentidos sociais; a relação entre linguagem, ideologia e sujeito na Análise do Discurso; o corpo negro como lugar simbólico de inscrição da memória histórica, da exploração e da violência institucional; a voz de Elza Soares como gesto discursivo de resistência, na qual corpo, história e linguagem se imbricam na produção de um contra-discurso ao racismo estrutural. “A Carne” configura-se como um acontecimento discursivo que rompe com a naturalização da desigualdade racial, reinscrevendo a experiência negra como central na crítica às estruturas históricas de opressão no Brasil contemporâneo.
OVERCOMING THE GLASS CEILING SYNDROME THROUGH DIGITALIZATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN GCC COUNTRIES
This study investigates the potential of digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to dismantle the "glass ceiling" syndrome affecting women's career advancement in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. Despite high levels of educational attainment among women, particularly in STEM fields, invisible systemic barriers and traditional socio-cultural norms continue to restrict their ascent to senior executive roles. Employing a mixed-methods research design, the study utilizes a quantitative survey of 385 valid participants alongside 23 semi-structured interviews with senior HR executives across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.The research evaluates how digital tools can decouple professional output from physical presence, mitigating the reliance on visibility-based metrics that often disadvantage women in conservative business environments. Findings indicate that while AI-driven talent management offers a mechanism for standardizing evaluation criteria and reducing unconscious bias, it simultaneously poses risks of algorithmic bias if trained on historical, male-dominated datasets. The study concludes that the strategic alignment of human oversight, ethical governance (such as AI ethics boards), and technical upskilling for HR professionals is essential to leverage technology as a catalyst for gender equity and competitive advantage in the GCC corporate sector.
A PEDAGOGIA DA HUMILHAÇÃO: ASSÉDIO MORAL COMO PRÁTICA FORMATIVA NA POLÍCIA MILITAR DO AMAZONAS
O presente ensaio analisa o assédio moral na Polícia Militar do Amazonas a partir da noção de pedagogia da humilhação, compreendida como um conjunto de práticas simbólicas e institucionais que podem operar como mecanismos informais de formação moral e disciplinar no interior da organização policial. Partindo de uma abordagem teórico-crítica, o estudo articula contribuições da Psicodinâmica do Trabalho, da Sociologia das Instituições e do campo da Saúde Coletiva para sustentar a tese de que a humilhação reiterada, quando naturalizada nas rotinas organizacionais, tende a produzir subjetividades marcadas pelo silêncio, pela obediência e pela tolerância ao sofrimento. A análise dialoga com documentos normativos e materiais institucionais recentes da própria corporação, que expressam avanços importantes no reconhecimento, na prevenção e no enfrentamento do assédio moral, evidenciando, contudo, a persistência de tensões entre o discurso formal de cuidado e práticas informais ainda presentes no cotidiano institucional. Ao problematizar o assédio moral como prática formativa, o ensaio contribui para o debate sobre trabalho policial, saúde mental e direitos humanos, destacando a necessidade de fortalecimento dos mecanismos de implementação, fiscalização e transformação da cultura organizacional na segurança pública amazônica.
GOVERNMENT'S CRISIS COMMUNICATION STRATEGY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: A NARRATIVE REVIEW
This research is a narrative review of 20 articles that discuss the government's crisis communication strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic in the period from 2020 to 2024. The goal is to inventory the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of research in this field. The studies reviewed used many key theories such as Risk and Crisis Communication Theory, CERC, Framing Theory, SCCT, and RCCE. Key findings show that successful communication is characterized by transparency, consistency of messages, evidence-based communication (involving experts), and effective use of digital multi-channels. These strategies have proven crucial in building public trust. In contrast, the dominant communication weaknesses include inconsistencies, lack of full transparency, communication that tends to be one-way (top-down), slow response at the beginning of a crisis, and failure to manage disinformation. The limitations of the research found are the focus which tends to be only on the early phases of the pandemic and the lack of measurement of the impact of communication on changes in actual behavior of the community. As an implication, future government crisis communication should be more adaptive, integrative between the CERC principles and empathetic and science-based messaging, and shift to a two-way communication model to achieve sustainable public compliance and trust.

Innovation is crucial for organizations to exploit opportunities and integrate sustainability into their operations. The findings also reveal that organizations need to transform their business models to adapt to changes in their environments and the technologies they use. The study contributes to the growing body of research into innovation. The article links the bibliometric findings to themes that emerge on organizational resilience and competitive advantage. Implications for theory, practice, and future research are discussed.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY DISCLOSURE AND SHARIAH FIRM PERFORMANCE
Shariah-compliant listed companies in Malaysia promote accountability and transparency to stakeholders, urging corporate social responsibility disclosure associated with ethical governance and sustainability. Based on Islamic principles and Stakeholder Theory, this study examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility disclosure (investor, community, environmental, employee, and product) and financial performance and analyzes whether board gender diversity moderates this relationship. Utilizing stratified sampling, data were collected from 200 Main Board companies’ annual reports within three periods: 2019 (pre-pandemic), 2020 (pandemic), and 2021 (post-pandemic), and examined using hierarchical regression. The results found that only employee-related disclosure is positively associated with financial performance in 2019 and 2020, while other disclosure dimensions reveal no significant relationship. Board gender diversity does not moderate these relationships. The results suggest that firms should prioritize employee-related disclosures, providing implications for policymakers pursuing to strengthen transparency in Shariah-compliant firms.

REMITTANCES AND ACCESS TO BASIC SERVICES AMONG INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS IN MOGADISHU: EVIDENCE FROM HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND ICT ACCESS
Remittances constitute a principal income source for households in conflict-affected states, yet their contribution to basic service access among internally displaced persons (IDPs) remains empirically underdeveloped. Evidence derived from stable economic contexts does not readily translate to displacement settings characterised by insecure housing, constrained labour markets, and fragile institutional environments. This study examines the association between remittance receipt and three dimensions of basic service access - health services, education services, and information and communication technology (ICT) facilities - among IDP households in Mogadishu, Somalia. A cross-sectional survey collected data from 397 internally displaced households selected through stratified and snowball sampling. Independent-samples t-tests compared outcome index scores between remittance-receiving and non-receiving households, and OLS regression estimated the relationship between remittance intensity and a composite poverty alleviation index. Remittance receipt was positively and significantly associated with health access (mean difference: 6.53 points; p < 0.001), education access (mean difference: 6.58 points; p = 0.003), and ICT ownership (mean difference: 9.08 points; p < 0.001). In contrast, no significant associations were found for basic consumption needs (p = 0.528) or participation in income-generating activities (p = 0.661). Regression analysis confirmed that remittance intensity explained approximately 3.6 percent of variation in the composite welfare index (B = 9.044; p < 0.001), pointing to a stabilising rather than transformative role for remittances. Findings suggest that remittances function primarily as an informal safety net, financing specific service-related expenditures rather than driving productive investment. Policies aimed at reducing remittance transfer costs, expanding digital financial inclusion, and integrating diaspora flows into public service strategies could amplify these effects. Structural interventions addressing housing security and livelihood opportunities are necessary complements.
AVALIAÇÃO DA PERCEPÇÃO DE SEGURANÇA E USABILIDADE DE DISPOSITIVOS WEARABLES EM AMBIENTE LOGÍSTICO: UM ESTUDO DE CASO INDUSTRIAL
Este estudo analisa a implementação de sistemas de segurança baseados em dispositivos wearables (TAGs e âncoras) de prevenção de colisão em um Centro de Distribuição de uma indústria alimentícia. Por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa fundamentada na Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin, foram entrevistados 48 trabalhadores divididos em três turnos operacionais. Os resultados revelam uma percepção positiva quanto à contribuição para a segurança, apesar de desafios ergonômicos relacionados ao design da solução, à percepção de vibração e raio de alcance dos alertas. O estudo conclui que a tecnologia atua como uma barreira crítica contra acidentes, mas requer refinamentos na interface homem-máquina para otimização da performance.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND REVENUE GROWTH IN MALAYSIAN CREDIT COOPERATIVES: DO TAX OBLIGATIONS MATTER?
Credit cooperatives constitute a vital component of Malaysia’s financial ecosystem by promoting financial inclusion and supporting member-based economic activities. Despite their growing economic contribution, sustained revenue growth remains uneven across credit cooperatives, raising questions about the effectiveness of internal financial management and the role of institutional constraints such as taxation. This study investigates the relationship between financial performance and revenue growth in Malaysian credit cooperatives, with particular attention to the moderating role of the tax ratio. Using balanced panel data for 24 credit cooperatives over the period 2018–2024, the analysis employs pooled ordinary least squares, fixed-effects, and random-effects estimations, supplemented by Driscoll–Kraay robust standard errors to address heteroskedasticity, serial correlation, and cross-sectional dependence. The findings indicate that profitability is the most consistent driver of revenue growth, while liquidity exerts a weaker but positive influence. Leverage does not exhibit a stable effect, reflecting the conservative capital structures of cooperatives. Contrary to theoretical expectations, the tax ratio does not significantly moderate the relationship between financial performance and revenue growth, suggesting that Malaysia’s relatively uniform cooperative tax framework dampens fiscal heterogeneity across institutions. These results contribute to cooperative finance literature by highlighting the dominance of internal efficiency over fiscal conditions in shaping revenue outcomes and offer practical implications for cooperative managers and policymakers concerned with long-term financial sustainability.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TOURISM MOTIVATION, PERCEIVED VALUE, SATISFACTION AND BEHAVIORAL INTENTION OF HOMESTAY TOURISTS IN HEALTH TOURISM DESTINATIONS
With the advent of the era of leisure vacation tourism, the rapid development of all-region tourism, and the new urbanization, tourists are increasingly inclined to obtain diversified, autonomous, and personalized tourism products and services during their travel experiences. They desire in-depth experiences and emotional identification and communication during their travels. The homestay industry has been booming, greatly promoting the rapid improvement of the rural economy. However, facing the increasingly fierce industry competition and the rapidly changing market environment, how to retain visitors and ensure the healthy and sustainable development of the homestay industry in the future is an urgent issue that we need to address. By reviewing both domestic and international research on the concepts of tourism motivation, perceived value, satisfaction, and behavioral intention, as well as the relationships among these four elements, the study identifies the components of homestay tourists' motivations, perceived value, satisfaction, and behavioral intentions at the theoretical level. This is done by drawing on existing literature and research outcomes, and by integrating various aspects of the homestay environment, facilities, and services with the behavioral characteristics of tourists. Based on the "cognition-affect-intention" relationship theory, a theoretical model is established to provide a foundation for the study. This model aims to understand how cognitive processes (such as tourists' perceptions of the homestay experience), affective states (like emotions and satisfaction), and behavioral intentions (such as the willingness to return or recommend the homestay) are interconnected. The research findings indicate that the travel motivations of homestay tourists do not directly influence behavioral intentions but rather have an indirect effect through the mediating roles of perceived value and satisfaction. Both satisfaction and perceived value among homestay tourists have a direct and significantly positive impact on behavioral intentions. Additionally, the travel motivations of homestay tourists significantly and positively affect their perceived value and satisfaction. Furthermore, this study has derived a complex pathway of "Travel Motivation → Perceived Value → Satisfaction → Behavioral Intention," offering a new perspective for the study of travel motivations, perceived value, satisfaction, and behavioral intentions among homestay tourists. This enriches and advances the theoretical and empirical research on homestays. At the same time, the research results provide valuable insights into the current challenges and limitations of the homestay industry and offers recommendations for improving the development level of new forms of tourism.
COMMUNITY CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIORS IN ISLAND TOURISM: INSIGHTS FROM RESIDENTS' PERCEIVED BENEFITS
Since 2004, the CPC Central Committee has issued the No. 1 Document for 20 consecutive years, focusing on " farmers、agriculture、rural areas." The "No. 1 Document" has become a proper noun that highlights rural issues, and "farmers, agriculture、rural areas" have become important issues in China under the new era of rapid economic development. This essay deals with the issues of“ farmers, agriculture, rural areas ”that need to be solved urgently in Zhoushan island area.zhoushan Archipelago boasts a beautiful combination of blue skies, clear seas, golden beaches, and a profound cultural heritage of Guanyin.With its rich tourism resources, the tourism industry has flourished, which has also driven the development of rural communities, as well as employment and income growth for residents. Community citizenship behaviors of residents in rural island tourism destinations play a significant role in enhancing community governance outcomes, shaping high-quality visitor experiences, and showcasing a positive rural spiritual civilization. This doctoral dissertation explores the community citizenship behaviors of residents in island tourism, focusing on the insights gained from their perceived benefits. The study begins by examining the theoretical framework that links residents' perceived benefits to their willingness to engage in community citizenship behaviors. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and in-depth interviews, data were collected from residents of several island destinations. The findings reveal that residents who perceive significant economic, social, and cultural benefits from tourism are more likely to exhibit positive behaviors that contribute to the community's well-being and sustainable tourism development. The study identifies key factors such as personal gain, empathetic understanding, and place identity that influence these behaviors. Additionally, the research highlights the importance of effective communication and engagement strategies by local authorities and tourism stakeholders to enhance residents' perceived benefits and foster a sense of community ownership. The dissertation concludes with recommendations for policymakers and practitioners to develop programs that align tourism development with the preservation of local traditions and environmental sustainability, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for residents and the attractiveness of the destination for tourists.

This study investigates the impact of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) on employees' green behaviors and the potential mechanisms involved, targeting 600 employees and middle managers from high-star hotels in Yunnan, Beijing, Guangdong, and Zhejiang. The results indicate that GHRM positively influences employees' green behaviors, with organizational culture mediating this relationship. These findings could provide valuable recommendations for the hotel industry in China.
PLANEJAMENTO URBANO E SEGURANÇA HÍDRICA: GESTÃO INTEGRADA DO USO DO SOLO, DA DRENAGEM E DO SANEAMENTO NA PROTEÇÃO DOS RECURSOS HÍDRICOS NAS CIDADES
A intensificação da urbanização nas últimas décadas tem produzido pressões significativas sobre os recursos hídricos nas cidades, especialmente em contextos marcados por expansão desordenada, impermeabilização do solo, ocupação de áreas ambientalmente sensíveis e déficits históricos de saneamento básico. Esses processos têm contribuído para o agravamento de enchentes, poluição dos corpos d’água e insegurança hídrica urbana, evidenciando a necessidade de estratégias integradas de planejamento territorial e gestão ambiental. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo tem como objeto de análise a relação entre planejamento urbano e segurança hídrica nas cidades, com ênfase na articulação entre gestão do uso e ocupação do solo, sistemas de drenagem urbana e políticas de saneamento como instrumentos de proteção e recuperação dos recursos hídricos. A investigação orienta-se pela seguinte pergunta de partida: de que maneira a gestão integrada do uso do solo, da drenagem urbana e do saneamento pode contribuir para a proteção dos recursos hídricos e para a promoção da segurança hídrica nas cidades? Teoricamente, fizemos uso dos trabalhos de Ab’Saber (2003), Asad et al. (1999), Baltas, Mimikou e Tsihrintzis (2018), Beck (1992), Biswas e Tortajada (2022), Biswas et al. (2006), Biswas, Sachdeva e Tortajada (2021), Biswas, Tortajada e Izquierdo (2009), Brears (2016), Butler e Davies (2004), Daly (1997; 2008), Gleick (2010; 2011), Gopalakrishnan, Tortajada e Biswas (2005), Grigg (2012), Guo (2017), Harvey (2000; 2008), Hvitved-Jacobsen, Vollertsen e Nielsen (2010), Jha, Bloch e Lamond (2012), Lefebvre (2008; 2016), Marsalek et al. (2001), Mays (2010), Mollinga, Dixit e Athukorala (2006), Pepper, Gerba e Brusseau (2006), Porto-Gonçalves (2016), Ringler et al. (2010), Sachs (2007; 2009), Salman e Bradlow (2006), Santos (2001; 2006), Schilling e Porter (1990), Shammas e Wang (2010), UNDP (2013), UN-Habitat (2003), Younos e Parece (2016), entre outros. A pesquisa é de cunho qualitativa (Minayo, 2007), bibliográfica e descritiva (Gil, 2008) e com o viés compreensivo (Weber, 1949). Os resultados indicam que a articulação entre uso do solo, drenagem urbana e saneamento reconfigura o funcionamento hidrológico das cidades, reduzindo enchentes e a poluição hídrica. Evidencia-se que abordagens integradas, associadas à infraestrutura verde e à governança coordenada, ampliam a eficiência dos sistemas urbanos de água. Conclui-se que a segurança hídrica depende da superação de práticas fragmentadas e da adoção de estratégias territoriais sistêmicas.
THE EFFICACY OF COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY IN ADDRESSING ACADEMIC DISHONESTY AND REINFORCING ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AMONG STUDENTS IN PUBLIC HIGHER INSTITUTIONS
This study investigated the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in reducing academic dishonesty among undergraduate students in public higher institutions in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measures for experimental and control groups was adopted. A sample of 394 students was purposively selected and evenly assigned to both groups. Data were collected using the Academic Dishonesty Behaviour Questionnaire (ADBQ), which assessed behaviours such as examination malpractice, plagiarism, and falsification of records. Descriptive statistics addressed the research questions, while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) tested the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that participants initially exhibited moderate to high levels of academic dishonesty. Following a six-week CBT intervention, the experimental group showed a significant reduction in dishonest behaviours, whereas the control group showed minimal change. ANCOVA results indicated a statistically significant difference in post-test scores between the groups (F (1,391) = 102.87, p < 0.05). The study concludes that CBT effectively reduces maladaptive beliefs associated with academic dishonesty and enhances ethical decision-making. It recommends integrating CBT-based programmes into institutional counselling services to promote academic integrity.
SUBSTANTIVE REFERENCE TO THE OMITTED AGENT IN THE STYLE OF AL-HALLA AND SHIFA AL-GHALA BY AL-RA'INI AL-GHARNATI (D.779 AH)
This study examines quasi-clausal relation to the omitted factor, taking the book *Taraz al-Halla wa Shifa’ al-Ghala* by al-Ra’ini al-Gharnati (d. 779 AH) as its field of study. This topic embodies what is known as the ‘implicit structure’, presenting an analytical perspective that combines grammatical construction and semantic analysis. The omitted element—despite its absence—becomes more prominent and has a greater impact than the stated one, demonstrating that the stability and strength of meaning lie in the ‘omitted’ element, which is replaced by the ‘apparent referent’; this renders the text more cohesive and coherent. Thus, the relationship is not merely a grammatical construction between a subject and an object, but a semantic link and an active tool in directing meaning, defining its paths, and enriching it with what explicit expression cannot convey; hence, omission became a means of conciseness, a way to expand meaning, and a way to involve the reader in its interpretation. Relation is the close bond and relationship between the related elements (the prepositional phrase, the object of preposition, and the adverbial) and the referent (the verb acting upon them); it is a relationship of mutual dependence and influence, for each depends on the other and is influenced by it. The dependent elements—the prepositional phrase, the object, and the adverbial—lack an agent to act upon them; otherwise, they are meaningless units. The agent, in turn, depends on them to complete its meaning, not to mention the agent’s influence on them in terms of determining their position and grammatical function, and the agent’s dependence on them in terms of determining the course of contextual meaning, as well as its time and place.

EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL SOB A ÓPTICA DA LEI 9.795/99: IMPLICAÇÕES SOBRE A SENSIBILIZAÇÃO ECOLÓGICA E A SUSTENTABILIDADE
O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a influência da Lei nº 9.795/1999 na educação ambiental, analisando seu papel na sensibilização ecológica e na promoção da sustentabilidade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e de abordagem qualitativa, com amostra composta por 12 profissionais selecionados por conveniência, cujos conhecimentos e experiências foram coletados por meio de entrevistas em profundidade. Os dados foram analisados utilizando a técnica de análise do discurso, permitindo identificar padrões, percepções e interpretações dos participantes sobre a aplicação da legislação. Os resultados indicaram que a lei é reconhecida como um instrumento fundamental para estruturar ações educativas, fortalecer o protagonismo estudantil e promover a integração com a comunidade, embora desafios como limitações de recursos, necessidade de capacitação e interpretação da legislação ainda existam. Constatou-se que, quando implementada de forma articulada e planejada, a Lei nº 9.795/1999 contribui significativamente para a formação de cidadãos conscientes, engajados e comprometidos com a sustentabilidade, consolidando práticas educativas inovadoras e duradouras.
SUSTENTABILIDADE E EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL: OS IMPACTOS DA LEI 9.795/99 SOBRE A SENSIBILIZAÇÃO ECOLÓGICA E CONSERVAÇÃO AMBIENTAL
A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar de que forma a Lei nº 9.795/99 contribui para a sensibilização ecológica e a promoção da conservação ambiental no Brasil, a partir da compreensão de sua aplicação no contexto educacional formal e não formal. Para tanto, adotou-se como método a revisão integrativa da literatura, orientada pela estratégia PICO e conduzida conforme as diretrizes PRISMA, com busca sistemática nas bases SciELO, Scopus, DOAJ e Google Acadêmico, considerando estudos publicados entre 2023 e 2024, em língua portuguesa e disponíveis na íntegra. Os resultados evidenciaram que, embora a legislação represente um avanço significativo na institucionalização da educação ambiental, sua efetividade ainda é limitada por desafios relacionados à fragmentação curricular, à insuficiência na formação docente, à descontinuidade de políticas públicas, à baixa articulação intersetorial entre órgãos governamentais, à carência de monitoramento e avaliação sistemática das ações implementadas, bem como à predominância de práticas pedagógicas ainda centradas em abordagens tradicionais e pouco críticas. Ademais, verificou-se a existência de desigualdades regionais na implementação das diretrizes legais, além da limitada integração entre educação formal e não formal, o que compromete a ampliação do alcance das ações educativas. A análise permitiu a identificação de dimensões analíticas estruturantes (Q1–Q6), compreendendo: políticas públicas e governança ambiental (Q1), saberes tradicionais e interculturalidade (Q2), formação crítica e prospectiva ambiental (Q3), conservação da biodiversidade (Q4), práticas pedagógicas sustentáveis (Q5) e inovação didática e recursos sustentáveis (Q6), as quais, de forma interdependente, evidenciam que a educação ambiental demanda uma abordagem sistêmica, integrada e contextualizada, sustentada por práticas interdisciplinares, metodologias ativas, valorização dos contextos socioculturais e fortalecimento institucional.
THE EFFICACY OF THE ROOT-AND-PATTERN SYSTEM IN VOCABULARY ACQUISITION: A MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF ARABIC
Vocabulary instruction is among the most decisive factors in foreign language acquisition. One of the primary challenges encountered in teaching Arabic as a foreign language (TAFL) is the expansion of lexicon and the retention of acquired vocabulary in long-term memory. For learners familiar with the Indo-European language family, the systematic structure of Arabic—a member of the Semitic family based on the root-and-pattern system—may initially appear complex; however, it offers a powerful didactic tool for lexical acquisition. This is primarily because the learning load increases in Indo-European languages if morphological organization is not systematically utilized in vocabulary teaching. This research aims to examine the efficacy of using 'root letters' and the 'pattern system' (awzan), which constitute the morphological backbone of the language, as an active instructional strategy in Arabic vocabulary teaching processes. Following a presentation of the structural characteristics of the Arabic root-and-pattern system, the study discusses the impact on student achievement when words are presented within a morphological framework rather than being memorized as isolated, independent units. Findings obtained through a literature review indicate that teaching the logic of roots and patterns facilitates learners' ability to infer the meanings of unknown words, enhances their word-derivation skills, and contributes significantly to the formation of a mental lexicon. In this context, it is concluded that the root-based instructional approach in Arabic not only streamlines the learning process but also provides a model that can inspire innovative approaches to vocabulary teaching methods in general foreign language education.
INOVAÇÃO ABERTA E COLABORAÇÃO MULTISSETORIAL: UMA REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA DA LITERATURA
A inovação constitui-se como elemento central no desenvolvimento econômico contemporâneo, sendo a capacidade de inovar e adaptar-se às mudanças tecnológicas fundamental para assegurar o crescimento competitivo e sustentável das organizações. Este estudo tem como objetivo desenvolver uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre a evolução do conceito de inovação, com ênfase na transição do modelo de inovação fechada para o modelo de inovação aberta e na atuação da hélice tríplice como vetor de colaboração entre universidade, indústria e governo. Utilizando o método ProKnow-C (Knowledge Development Process-Constructivist), foram selecionados e analisados 48 artigos científicos publicados entre 2006 a 2025 nas bases Web of Science e Scopus. Os resultados evidenciam que organizações participantes de clusters, redes de inovação e que utilizam mecanismos como Sistemas Nacionais de Inovação (SNI) e intermediários tecnológicos demonstram maior potencial inovador devido à troca eficiente de conhecimentos. Contudo, o estudo também aponta desafios significativos, incluindo a gestão de propriedade intelectual, riscos de perda de vantagem competitiva e a necessidade de desenvolver capacidades absortivas para explorar conhecimentos externos. As lacunas identificadas ressaltam a importância de investigar os fatores que potencializam a participação em ambientes colaborativos e sua relação com o aumento da inovação organizacional.

EVALUATING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE GOVERNANCE MODELS IN IMMIGRATION ADMINISTRATION: A RULE OF LAW BASED MULTI CRITERIA DECISION FRAMEWORK
The main problem addressed in this study is how states can integrate artificial intelligence into immigration procedures without undermining rule of law principles. The key issue that must be analyzed is the selection of the most appropriate governance model based on legally grounded criteria. The literature lacks structured and quantitative frameworks that systematically evaluate artificial intelligence governance alternatives in migration administration. This study proposes a novel multi criteria decision making model to fill this gap. The model combines stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) for weighting criteria, root assessment model (RAM) for ranking governance strategies, and interval valued q rung orthopair fuzzy sets to address uncertainty in expert judgments. The findings show that the positioning of decision-making authority and the obligation to provide reasoned decisions are the most influential criteria, and that the administrative support model is the most appropriate approach. The study contributes by integrating legal analysis with advanced decision tools. It recommends governance strategies that preserve human authority, ensure transparency, and limit artificial intelligence to supportive administrative functions.
O RETORNO À VERDADE NO PROCESSO PENAL: A DIMENSÃO EPISTÊMICA DA PROVA E A PREVENÇÃO DO ERRO JUDICIAL
O presente trabalho analisa o papel da verdade no processo penal a partir da revaloração de sua dimensão epistêmica. Assim, parte da crítica à tradicional noção de “verdade real”, historicamente associada ao modelo inquisitório e à flexibilização de garantias fundamentais, bem como da reação garantista que enfatizou o processo penal como instrumento de limitação do poder punitivo estatal. O trabalho tem como objetivo investigar se é possível reafirmar a importância da verdade sem comprometer os direitos fundamentais do acusado, examinando a relação entre prova, racionalidade decisória e erro judicial. Para tanto, é adotada uma metodologia de revisão bibliográfica, com base em autores contemporâneos da teoria da prova e da epistemologia jurídica. Como resultado, sustenta-se que a completa desvinculação entre processo e verdade compromete a legitimidade das decisões judiciais, sendo necessário compreender o processo penal como uma instituição epistêmica voltada à produção de conhecimento sobre os fatos. Conclui-se que a busca pela verdade é compatível com o modelo garantista, desde que orientada por critérios de racionalidade, pelos standards probatórios e pelas garantias fundamentais, em especial, a presunção de inocência, visando à adequada distribuição do risco de erro judicial.
THE INFLUENCE OF GLASS CEILING, LEADER–MEMBER EXCHANGE, AND ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE ON CIVIL SERVANT PERFORMANCE: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF CAREER DEVELOPMENT (EVIDENCE FROM THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF DKI JAKARTA, INDONESIA)
Gender inequality and unequal access to leadership positions remain persistent challenges within public sector organisations. The glass ceiling phenomenon continues to limit women’s opportunities for career advancement, potentially affecting their professional development and job performance. Beyond structural barriers, organisational factors such as the quality of leader–subordinate relationships and organisational culture also play a crucial role in shaping employee outcomes. However, empirical research integrating these factors within a comprehensive analytical framework, particularly in the context of public sector institutions, remains relatively limited. This study examines the influence of the glass ceiling, leader–member exchange, and organisational culture on civil servant performance, with career development acting as a mediating variable. A quantitative explanatory research design was adopted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling. The study involved 400 female civil servants working in the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta, Indonesia, selected through proportionate stratified random sampling from a population of 1,779 employees. Data were collected through structured questionnaires measured on a five-point Likert scale and analysed using SmartPLS. The results indicate that organisational culture has a strong and significant effect on both career development and employee performance. Leader–member exchange positively influences career development but does not directly affect employee performance. Meanwhile, the glass ceiling does not demonstrate a significant influence on career development or performance. Career development significantly improves employee performance and mediates the relationships between leader–member exchange, organisational culture, and employee performance. These findings highlight the importance of inclusive organisational culture and merit-based career development systems in enhancing civil servant performance within public sector organisations.
AI DRIVEN AND DATA DRIVEN MARKETING STRATEGIES AS PREDICTORS OF BRAND ENGAGEMENT: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF CONSUMER PREFERENCES AND BEHAVIOUR IN THE UK E COMMERCE INDUSTRY
In the digital age, AI-driven and data-driven marketing strategies have transformed consumer-brand interactions, yet their impact on brand engagement remains underexplored, particularly in fashion retail. This study investigates how AI-powered personalization, predictive recommendations, and chatbots, alongside data-driven segmentation and historical analysis, influence cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement among UK online fashion consumers. A quantitative survey was conducted with 350 participants, and reliability, validity, and structural equation modeling analyses were performed. Findings reveal that both AI- and data-driven marketing strategies significantly enhance brand engagement, with consumer preferences and behavioral patterns serving as critical mediators. The results highlight that effective marketing requires not only technological sophistication but also an understanding of the psychological and behavioral mechanisms driving consumer interactions. This study addresses the “quantitative illusion of understanding” by bridging strategic inputs with consumer experiences, providing practical insights for fashion retailers seeking to foster authentic engagement. Implications for theory and practice are discussed, and directions for future research, including cross-industry studies, longitudinal analysis, and ethical considerations in hyper-personalized marketing, are proposed.
BEYOND AVERAGE EFFECTS: STRUCTURAL HETEROGENEITY IN ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AMONG FEMALE HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN PUBLIC HOSPITALS
This study examines whether the drivers of organizational commitment operate uniformly across subgroups of female healthcare workers in public hospitals in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, addressing the common assumption of structural homogeneity in prior research. Using survey data from 695 employees across four provincial hospitals, the study applies Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), followed by measurement invariance testing (MICOM) and multi-group analysis (PLS-MGA and permutation tests). The results indicate that organizational commitment is not shaped by a single universal mechanism; instead, the effects of HRM resources (benefits, promotion opportunities, working conditions, and work environment) and work–family dynamics vary across groups defined by parental status, dependent responsibility, night-shift status, age, occupational roles, and hospital affiliations. In contrast, the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment remains relatively stable, suggesting a common attitudinal core. These findings support a layered view of organizational commitment, in which a stable core coexists with context-dependent structural pathways, and contribute to the literature by highlighting structural heterogeneity in public healthcare settings. Practically, the results underscore the need for segment-specific HR strategies, including family-supportive policies, flexible scheduling, and differentiated resource allocation to enhance employee commitment in resource-constrained public hospitals.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RISK MANAGEMENT IN AUTOMATED BOILER SYSTEMS
This paper examines the application of artificial intelligence in automated boiler systems with the aim of improving environmental risk management and reducing emissions generated during combustion processes. The study focuses on the use of neural network models as intelligent monitoring and predictive control tools in industrial heating systems. The main objective of the research is to evaluate how artificial intelligence can support safer and more efficient operation of automated boilers while contributing to lower fuel consumption and reduced environmental impact. The research methodology is based on experimental data collected from an automated boiler system of the OZON 55 type equipped with sensor-based monitoring devices. Operational parameters such as temperature, air supply, fuel characteristics, and gas emissions were recorded and analyzed using recurrent neural network models designed to predict deviations in combustion behavior. The obtained results indicate that neural network–based predictive monitoring can detect anomalies in operational parameters at an early stage and enable timely adjustments of combustion conditions. Such improvements contribute to increased operational safety, improved fuel efficiency, and lower emissions of harmful gases. The findings suggest that the integration of artificial intelligence into automated boiler systems represents an effective technological approach for enhancing environmental protection, improving risk management, and supporting more sustainable energy use in industrial heating systems.
PROCEDURAL CONTROL OF THE HEAD OF THE INVESTIGATIVE BODY OVER THE ACCOUNTING AND STORAGE OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
The authors of this article discusses the issues of increasing the effectiveness of the procedural control of the head of the investigative body over the investigator's activities to ensure the accounting and preservation of material evidence in pre-trial criminal proceedings. It is emphasized that these issues are very relevant and urgent, since it is the activity of the head of the investigative body of criminal proceedings that is the resource on which the quality of the entire preliminary investigation, as well as proper accounting and preservation of physical evidence, in particular, directly depends. It has been established that the problems of accounting and storage of physical evidence are currently not fully resolved and are relevant both for the theory of criminal proceedings and for law enforcement practice. Unfortunately, currently in the practice of investigative units, cases often occur that indicate a negative trend, expressed in the presence of facts of loss and damage of physical evidence. In conclusion, the authors conclude that the consequences of improper procedural control by the head of the investigative body over the investigator's activities to ensure the accounting and preservation of material evidence are the numerous facts used in practice to bring to disciplinary responsibility not only investigators, but also the heads of specific investigative units themselves.
EFICIÊNCIA TÉRMICA E CINÉTICA DE INATIVAÇÃO DA E. COLI EM PASTEURIZADOR SOLAR APLICADO AO TRATAMENTO DE ÁGUAS SUBTERRÂNEAS
A escassez de água potável e a contaminação microbiológica de águas subterrâneas representam desafios significativos à saúde pública, especialmente em regiões com infraestrutura limitada de saneamento. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência térmica e a cinética de inativação microbiológica de um pasteurizador solar aplicado ao tratamento de águas subterrâneas. Os experimentos foram realizados no campus Recife da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, entre abril e julho de 2025, sob irradiância solar variando entre 5,2 e 5,6 kWh/m². O sistema operou por escoamento gravitacional, promovendo aquecimento progressivo da água por meio de coletor solar térmico. A temperatura foi monitorada por 300 minutos, atingindo valores entre 65 °C e 68 °C após 180–240 minutos de exposição. A análise microbiológica, realizada pelo método do Número Mais Provável (NMP), indicou redução logarítmica média de 2,15 log e completa inativação de coliformes termotolerantes, incluindo Escherichia coli, quando a temperatura ultrapassou 65 °C. A cinética de inativação foi avaliada por meio dos modelos log-linear, Weibull e bifásico, sendo este último o que apresentou melhor ajuste aos dados experimentais (menor RMSE). A eficiência térmica variou entre 7,9% e 8,9%. Os resultados demonstram que a pasteurização solar constitui alternativa tecnicamente viável para o tratamento descentralizado de água em regiões com elevada disponibilidade de radiação solar.
THE SEMIOTICS OF GAZE: CULTURAL MODELING OF THE EYE METAPHOR IN RUSSIAN AND KYRGYZ LYRIC TRADITIONS
This article examines the semiotic functioning of the eye as a metaphor for the soul in Russian and Kyrgyz lyric poetry, analyzing how this body part sign operates across iconic, indexical, and symbolic dimensions. Through comparative analysis of 50 poems (25 from each tradition), the study integrates Peircean semiotics with cognitive linguistics to reveal how cultural models shape metaphorical meaning-making. In Russian poetry, the eye functions primarily as an icon of divine judgment and moral introspection, reflecting Orthodox Christian semiotics of transcendence. In Kyrgyz poetry, the eye operates as both index of communal values and symbol of protection against malevolent forces, drawing on Tengrist and Islamic semiotic systems. Color symbolism (blue, black, green) and broader representations (divine vision, evil eye, mirror) are analyzed as interconnected semiotic chains rather than isolated metaphors. The findings demonstrate that while the eye as "mirror of the soul" may have universal cognitive foundations, its specific semiotic actualization is profoundly shaped by cultural codes that determine how vision, truth, and spirituality are signified. This research contributes to comparative semiotics by illustrating how body-based signs function as boundary mechanisms between individual experience and collective meaning systems in distinct poetic traditions.
DETERMINANTS OF EXPORT-ORIENTED PRODUCTION IN THAILAND’S REFINED PETROLEUM INDUSTRY
This study aims to analyze the factors influencing export-oriented production within Thailand’s refined petroleum product industry. The analysis is based on monthly time-series data covering the period from January 2021 to May 2025, totaling 53 observations. The empirical analysis employs a Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) model to examine the relationships between petroleum product export indices and overall export performance in the petroleum refining industry. The results indicate that several variables significantly influence the export index for the production of refined petroleum products in Thailand. These include the export indices of high-speed diesel, aviation fuel, kerosene, fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and naphtha. The estimated model demonstrates a high level of explanatory power, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 98.9 percent and an adjusted R² of 98.8 percent. The findings suggest that major fuel products play a crucial role in determining the export capacity of Thailand’s petroleum refining industry. In particular, variations in the production and export performance of key fuel products significantly contribute to the dynamics of petroleum export activity. These results highlight the importance of refinery product structure and production allocation in shaping export performance. The study also provides empirical insights that may support strategic planning for refinery operations and export development within Thailand’s petroleum industry.
A FUZZY NEOTERIC INTEGRAL TRANSFORMATION
In this work, we examine the Neoteric Integral Transformation within a fuzzy framework, hereafter denoted as the fuzzy neoteric transformation (FNT). Additionally, we present several findings concerning the characteristics of the fuzzy neoteric transformation, including linearity, preservation of fuzzy derivatives, and the convolution property. To demonstrate the efficiency of the (FNT), a comprehensive method for solving higher- order fuzzy differential equation (FDEs) is developed. Moreover, a numerical example is introduced to highlight the practical application of the (FNT).
EDUCAÇÃO POPULAR E ENVELHECIMENTO: SABERES, RESISTÊNCIA E EMANCIPAÇÃO NA FORMAÇÃO DE PESSOAS IDOSAS
O envelhecimento populacional impõe desafios estruturais às políticas educacionais, exigindo abordagens que reconheçam as pessoas idosas como sujeitos históricos, cognitivos e políticos. Nesse contexto, a educação popular emerge como uma estratégia formativa capaz de articular saberes da experiência, participação crítica e processos de emancipação social. O problema de pesquisa que orienta este estudo consiste em compreender de que maneira as práticas de educação popular contribuem para a formação integral das pessoas idosas, fortalecendo resistências simbólicas ao idadismo e ampliando sua agência social. O objetivo geral é analisar os impactos formativos, cognitivos e sociopolíticos da educação popular no envelhecimento, considerando os saberes construídos ao longo da vida como fundamento epistemológico do processo educativo. Adota-se uma abordagem qualitativa, de caráter analítico e interpretativo, baseada em uma revisão teórica sistematizada e na análise crítica de experiências educativas dirigidas às pessoas idosas em contextos comunitários. Os resultados evidenciam que a educação popular favorece a ressignificação do envelhecimento, promove a valorização da memória social, estimula a participação coletiva e fortalece a autonomia intelectual dos sujeitos envolvidos. Conclui-se que a educação popular, ao reconhecer as pessoas idosas como produtoras de conhecimento, constitui um campo estratégico para políticas educacionais inclusivas, democráticas e socialmente comprometidas, contribuindo para trajetórias de envelhecimento ativo, digno e emancipado
