GLOBAL GRAPES MARKET STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND THE ROLE AND POLICY IMPLICATION FOR AFGHANISTAN
This study assesses the market structure of the grapes exports, as generally grapes are distinguished as total grapes (HS 806), fresh grapes (HS 080610), and dried grapes (HS 080620), with a particular focus on the relative position of Afghanistan in the global market structure. The study used time series data between 2008 and 2024 for market share analyses and market concentration measures such as CRn (CR4 and CR8) ratios and HHI index for evaluating market competitiveness and concentration degree. The findings of the study show that the global market for total grapes and fresh grapes is largely competitive and diversified in structure. Moderate concentration in both CR4 and CR8 levels, but a low value of HHI. In comparison, the study finds that the dried grapes or raisin market is concentrated moderately to high, as oligopolistic condition which is dominated by some limited major exporters. Afghanistan plays a crucial role in all commodities, but in grapes, it is relatively more crucial, with a relatively small market share in total and fresh grapes but a better market share in dried grapes, which indicates an emerging position for Afghanistan as a mid-tier exporter in dried grapes. The findings suggest that, for Afghanistan, some key policy changes in grapes' international trade are required as the level of concentration increases with the degree of processing. That is why the study suggests that Afghanistan should focus on product differentiation and implement a product differentiation policy for each commodity, emphasizing reduction of cost and efficiency in logistics, preserving new investors in dried grapes, development, certification, and quality upgrading.
THAILAND'S INVASIVE SPECIES LEGAL GAP: A CASE STUDY OF THE BLACKCHIN TILAPIA (SAROTHERODON MELANOTHERON)
Thailand has struggled to control invasive alien species (IAS), which are among the top five most critical drivers of global biodiversity loss. Despite being a vital biodiversity hotspot, Thailand lacks a specific law on IAS, leading to numerous ecological and economic crises. In an effort to examine this problem, the authors undertook a qualitative documentary research approach, combining doctrinal analysis of the law and a case study of Thailand’s Blackchin Tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron) outbreak. A comparative legal analysis was conducted to compare the legislative frameworks of Thailand and Japan. The analysis disclosed three connected structural faults. These included (1) the ‘blacklist’ (prohibited list) system makes the importation of any species not yet formally regulated possible, an act that opposes the Precautionary Principle; (2) institutional authority is weak in the customs, fisheries, and livestock agencies because of institutional fragmentation, resulting in enforcement gaps; and (3) the statutory definition of ‘pollution’ does not extend to biological invasions, restricting the provisions for strict liability on IAS damages. However, Japan's UAS (Uncategorized Alien Species) system offers a superior proactive model. This article provides a critical legal perspective on Thailand's IAS Unique Contribution, offering practical ideas for legislative amendments, with specific processes and suggestions.
THE SOUL OF MUAY THAI: A CAUSAL MODEL OF SPECTATOR SATISFACTION IN HYBRID CULTURAL-SPORT ENTERTAINMENT
Hybrid cultural-sporting events are increasingly global, yet spectator satisfaction in this context remains undertheorized. This research develops and empirically tests a causal model of spectator satisfaction (SS) for Thai Fight, Thailand's premier Muay Thai soft-power spectacle. The model positions Service Experience Innovation (SEI) and Digital Media Engagement (DME) as antecedents of Visitor Motivation (VMT), which, in turn, together with SEI, predicts SS. Data were collected from 380 returning spectators at two Thai Fight events in 2025 and analyzed using structural equation modeling in LISREL. All six hypotheses were supported. The final model explained 70% of the variance in satisfaction, with SEI showing the strongest total effect (β = 0.67). SEI directly influenced both VMT (β = 0.44) and SS (β = 0.51), while DME influenced SS only indirectly via VMT (β = 0.47 → VMT). These findings demonstrate that authentic, innovative experience design rooted in cultural ritual matters more than digital media alone. For practitioners, investing in immersive, ritual-rich event staging yields higher spectator satisfaction and loyalty. The model offers a new paradigm for understanding spectator behavior in hybrid cultural-sport events globally.
AVALIAÇÃO DE VIABILIDADE DE CEPA DE BACILLUS SUBTILIS SOB CONSERVAÇÃO REFRIGERADA: ANÁLISE COMPARATIVA DE MÉTODOS DE PLAQUEAMENTO MICROBIANO
A manutenção e avaliação da viabilidade de cepas microbianas são desafios centrais em microbiologia, especialmente sob armazenamento refrigerado. Este trabalho teve como objetivo comparar a eficiência dos métodos Spread Plate e Streak Plate na quantificação viável de Bacillus subtilis após armazenamento a 4 ºC. Foram realizadas diluições seriadas, aplicadas em ambos os métodos, com análise quantitativa da formação de colônias e observação microscópica após coloração de Gram. O Spread Plate proporcionou resultados mais precisos e reprodutíveis na contagem de unidades formadoras de colônia, enquanto o Streak Plate apresentou limitações quantitativas, menor sensibilidade e distribuição menos uniforme do inóculo. A coloração de Gram indicou coloração roxa‑rosada, sugerindo bactéria gram‑negativa, porém a presença de esporulação e endósporos esverdeados pode indicar gram‑variabilidade devido a estresse térmico. A regressão linear entre os log10 das contagens obtidas revelou R² = 0,89, demonstrando correlação positiva significativa (p < 0,05) entre os métodos. Entretanto, o teste de Wilcoxon mostrou diferença significativa (p < 0,05), indicando que o Streak Plate subestima sistematicamente as unidades viáveis em relação ao Spread Plate, confirmando sua menor eficácia para análises quantitativas.

INTRODUCTION AND SPREAD OF LUMPY SKIN DISEASE IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN ALGERIA: EPIDEMIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL INSIGHTS
Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is a major transboundary viral disease affecting cattle, characterized by cutaneous nodules, fever, and systemic manifestations. In Algeria, its recent emergence poses significant threats to livestock health and the agricultural economy. This study aimed to analyze the spatiotemporal distribution of LSD outbreaks and assess associated biochemical alterations in infected cattle. Epidemiological data were collected from veterinary surveillance reports and analyzed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The results revealed a wide geographic spread of LSD, with a higher concentration of outbreaks in northern regions during the summer, highlighting the role of climatic conditions and vector activity in disease transmission. Biochemical analysis showed significant differences between infected and healthy cattle. Infected animals exhibited lower glucose levels and significant increases in urea and creatinine, along with decreased total proteins, albumin, and globulins. Liver enzymes (AST and ALT) were significantly elevated, while calcium levels were markedly reduced (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that LSD is a systemic disease associated with metabolic and organ dysfunctions. Integrating biochemical parameters with epidemiological surveillance could improve disease monitoring and control strategies.
SHARED LEADERSHIP THROUGH EQUINE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
This study develops a process model explaining how equine-assisted experiential learning (EAEL) fosters shared leadership in organizational teams. While prior research has mainly focused on cognitive and structural antecedents, limited attention has been given to embodied and relational mechanisms. To address this gap, a qualitative interpretive approach was adopted, based on in-depth interviews with 17 participants who completed structured equine-assisted leadership programs. The findings identify three core mechanisms: (1) embodied self-regulation and awareness, (2) the emergence of trust and empathic connection, and (3) collective coordination and shared agency. Building on these mechanisms, the study proposes the Equine-Assisted Shared Leadership (EASL) model, explaining how non-verbal and embodied interactions activate relational dynamics that enable leadership distribution. The results demonstrate that EAEL facilitates shared leadership by enhancing relational awareness and coordinated action among team members. This study contributes to shared leadership theory by introducing an embodied-relational perspective and provides practical implications for the design of leadership development programs.
A UNIFIED AI FRAMEWORK FOR CROSS-SECTOR DIGITAL MARKETING UNDER SAUDI VISION 2030
AI technology is revolutionizing digital marketing by changing its nature from merely a function designed for the implementation of marketing campaigns to an instrument capable of providing insight into the customers, tailoring marketing activities to specific clients, developing targeted marketing content, organizing marketing channels and controlling the whole process in the context of performance management. The current paper is aimed at creating a comprehensive and multi-layered AI-based framework for cross-sector digital marketing, specifically as it is needed in Saudi Arabia in connection with the Saudi Vision 2030. There is an actual demand among Saudi entities in such industries as tourism, retail, banking, education, healthcare, logistics, entertainment, and government services to use AI tools for marketing activities with the same set of standards and guidelines to be able to realize the national benefit of the efforts. In accordance with the structured narrative review methodology, the research reviews the existing body of academic literature about AI-based marketing, customer experience management, generative AI, data management, platform ecosystem, and Saudi digital transformation published between 2020 – 2025. As a result, the article identifies ways AI-based marketing could help the Saudi country reach its goals, including increased competitiveness, service penetration, SME development, client inclusion, and evidence-based communication. The review findings indicate that in order to achieve the desired outcome, the parties will have to ensure data readiness, comply with the data governance rules, monitor the process, be able to work with the Arabic language, and employ ethical modelling and learning.
THE ROLE OF DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES IN PSYCHOSOCIAL OUTCOMES DURING REMOTE WORK
This study aims to examine the effects of remote working practices, which have continued to become widespread in the post-pandemic era, on individuals’ mental well-being, marital satisfaction and parental burnout within the context of demographic variables. The research was conducted using data obtained via an online survey from 412 participants. The Marriage Satisfaction Scale, the Parental Burnout Scale and the Mental Well-being Scale were used during the data collection process. Analyses were carried out with a particular focus on demographic variables. The findings revealed that, in comparisons based on demographic variables, these variables exhibited significant differences in the structures under investigation. The results indicate that the effects of the remote working experience vary according to individuals’ demographic characteristics. This highlights the importance of taking demographic differences into account when evaluating remote working processes.
EFFECT OF GUANAMIN® SUPPLEMENTATION ON THE NUTRITION OF JUVENILE NILE TILAPIA (OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS)
GAA is a product composed of amino acids that acts primarily in energy metabolism. Its use reduces production costs compared to the use of creatinine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of GAA supplementation on the proximate composition, productive performance, body indices, and oxidative and enzymatic responses of juvenile Nile tilapia. One hundred and twenty fish were used, distributed in a completely randomized design, with three treatments and three replicates, totaling 20 animals per experimental unit. The experimental diets contained 36% CP and were supplemented with 0, 0.050, and 0.150% GAA. The data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance and linear and quadratic polynomial regression. Fish supplemented with 0.15% GAA showed higher protein content and lower lipid reserves, better results for AFW, WG, DWG and SGR, as well as increased catalase, sucrase and trypsin activity. However, there was a reduction in PER and FY, as well as a worsening in FC. Fish supplemented with 0.05% GAA showed improved FC and total protein intake, as well as reduced VFI and HI in the fish. Supplementation with 0.05% GAA is recommended for Nile tilapia juvenile diets.
VICARICÍDIO E A VIOLÊNCIA PSICOLÓGICA CONTRA A MULHER: IMPACTOS JURÍDICOS PENAIS E NA SAÚDE MENTAL FEMININA EM MANAUS
A violência psicológica contra a mulher representa uma das formas mais complexas e silenciosas de violência de gênero, produzindo impactos significativos sobre a saúde mental feminina e sobre as relações familiares e sociais das vítimas. Nesse contexto, o vicaricídio emerge como manifestação extrema da violência vicária, caracterizando-se pela instrumentalização de terceiros, especialmente filhos e familiares, como mecanismo de sofrimento emocional direcionado à mulher. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar o vicaricídio como instrumento de violência psicológica contra a mulher, observando seus reflexos jurídico-penais e seus impactos sobre a saúde mental feminina no contexto de Manaus, Amazonas. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como revisão de literatura, de natureza qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, desenvolvida a partir da análise de artigos científicos e documentos institucionais publicados entre 2021 e 2026. Os resultados evidenciaram que a violência vicária possui forte relação com estruturas históricas de desigualdade de gênero e apresenta elevada capacidade de produzir sofrimento psíquico contínuo, ansiedade, depressão e vulnerabilidade emocional nas vítimas. Também foi identificado que a recente ampliação da tutela jurídico-penal relacionada ao vicaricídio representa importante avanço para proteção integral da mulher, embora persistam desafios relacionados à subnotificação, ao acesso aos serviços especializados e à efetividade das políticas públicas de acolhimento e saúde mental. Conclui-se que o enfrentamento do vicaricídio exige atuação interdisciplinar entre sistema de justiça, assistência psicossocial e políticas públicas de proteção feminina, especialmente no contexto regional de Manaus, Amazonas.
DESASTRES CLIMÁTICOS EM PETRÓPOLIS: OMISSÃO ESTATAL ESPECÍFICA
O artigo investiga como se sustenta a omissão preventiva estatal em contexto de risco cientificamente mapeado, monitorado em tempo quase real e territorialmente delimitado, no qual ficam afastadas as excludentes de caso fortuito e força maior. À luz do Direito dos Desastres e dos Direitos Humanos, sustenta-se que tais eventos são consequências previsíveis e decorrentes, sobretudo, de históricos defeitos de governança, que não podem ser exclusivamente atribuídos a forças da natureza. A pesquisa é qualitativa, teórico-analítica, organizada como estudo de caso único na modalidade caso revelador, com análise e pesquisa documental por meio de fontes técnicas, parlamentares e a dogmática internacional de direitos humanos. O estudo aponta previsibilidade técnica consolidada e omissão estatal específica orçamentariamente mensurável. Defende-se a responsabilidade objetiva do Estado por omissão específica (CF, art. 37, § 6.º) intensificada pelo standard interamericano de devida diligência (OC-23/17).
IMAGE-BASED IDENTIFICATION OF SUMATRA BUTTERFLY SPECIES USING DEEP LEARNING
Deep learning has gained momentum in the last decade for image-based species identification. We examine the classification of eight Sumatra butterfly species with a dataset of 800 photos from Gita Persada Butterfly Park using several deep learning architectures. The dataset was separated into training, validation, and testing subsets under controlled experimental circumstances. We evaluated seven architectures employing transfer learning with ImageNet pretrained weights, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and a Vision Transformer (ViT). The DenseNet201 model obtained the highest classification accuracy (99.38%), followed by ResNet50 and Xception (98.75%), MobileNet (97.50%), InceptionV3 (95.63%), ViT (93.75%), and EfficientNetB0 (85.63%). The performances of CNN-based models were more stable under the conditions of the present dataset, while MobileNet reached a good trade-off between accuracy and computational efficiency. The results must be viewed from the perspective of a tiny, single-site data collection. This was a controlled study and not a deployable field application as a standard for the identification of butterfly species from images. There was no external validation or field-based assessment. The results, therefore, give initial support for the possibility of deep learning for automated identification of butterfly species, but further validation using bigger and more diverse datasets is needed to determine model generalizability.
AWAKENING TO THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP AND WELL-BEING FOR CHILDREN IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Community education in schools is essential for children to cultivate respect for animals from childhood. Playful pedagogical strategies have proven effective in engaging students in this process. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of children aged 8 to 11 years about responsible pet ownership and welfare in two schools in Marília/SP, one public (G1) and one private (G2). A questionnaire was applied before and after the presentation of a theatrical play about basic health care, urban overpopulation, and responsible pet ownership. The data were analyzed using LibreOffice Base, with the application of the chi-square test (questions 1–12 and 16–19) and the McNemar test (questions 13–15 and 20), considering a significance level of p < 0.05. When comparing G1 and G2, a significant difference was found only in the ownership and number of animals per student. There were variations in awareness levels, highlighting gaps in areas such as proper nutrition, collar use, preventive veterinary visits, vaccination, and neutering/spaying. The theatrical performance was effective in broadening understanding about neutering/spaying, its benefits, and the prevention of diseases and zoonoses. It is concluded that interactive educational actions can improve awareness and care for animals, although the continued need for campaigns to promote health and well-being, strengthening the bond between pet owners and their pets, is emphasized.

JUSTIÇA SOCIOAMBIENTAL E AGENDA 2030 NO SUL GLOBAL: INTERFACES INSTITUCIONAIS À SUPERAÇÃO DO TRABALHO INFANTIL
O artigo analisa os limites institucionais que comprometem a efetivação da Agenda 2030 no Sertão do Araripe, investigando em que medida a justiça socioambiental, articulada às interfaces entre educação, trabalho decente e governança institucional, pode contribuir para a superação do trabalho infantil no território. Parte-se da compreensão de que a implementação dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) enfrenta desafios específicos no contexto do Sul Global, especialmente em territórios produtivos marcados por desigualdades socioambientais e vulnerabilidades estruturais. Metodologicamente, adota-se a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental com abordagem qualitativa, orientada por perspectiva interdisciplinar voltada à análise das relações entre desenvolvimento sustentável, territorialização da Agenda 2030 e justiça socioambiental. O estudo evidencia que as vulnerabilidades associadas à cadeia produtiva do gesso ultrapassam a dimensão estritamente ambiental, envolvendo precarização laboral, exclusão social e persistência do trabalho infantil. Os resultados indicam que a superação desses limites exige respostas institucionais integradas, orientadas à formação humana, à proteção social e ao fortalecimento da capacidade estatal, consolidando a justiça socioambiental como categoria analítica capaz de reconhecer a educação como instrumento de transformação social e de integrar educação (ODS 4), trabalho decente (ODS 8) e governança institucional (ODS 16) como estratégias de efetivação da Agenda 2030.
CONFLITOS SOCIOAMBIENTAIS NA AMAZÔNIA: GRANDES PROJETOS, POVOS TRADICIONAIS E DESAFIOS JURÍDICOS DA JUSTIÇA AMBIENTAL
O artigo analisa os conflitos socioambientais na Amazônia a partir dos casos da Usina Hidrelétrica de Belo Monte e da Terra Indígena Yanomami, tomando-os como expressões paradigmáticas da tensão entre proteção jurídica formal, grandes projetos, economias ilegais e violações territoriais. A pesquisa justifica-se pela urgência de compreender os limites concretos dos instrumentos jurídicos e institucionais brasileiros diante de danos ambientais, deslocamentos, contaminação, insegurança alimentar, crise sanitária e vulnerabilização de povos tradicionais. O problema consiste em investigar em que medida esses conflitos revelam a insuficiência do Estado brasileiro para prevenir danos ambientais, assegurar participação efetiva das populações atingidas e garantir reparação integral. O objetivo do estudo é analisar como Belo Monte e a Terra Indígena Yanomami evidenciam os limites da atuação jurídica e institucional na prevenção, responsabilização e reparação dos conflitos socioambientais amazônicos. Os resultados indicam que, embora o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro disponha de normas, princípios, tratados e mecanismos de tutela coletiva, sua efetividade permanece limitada por omissões estatais, fragilidade fiscalizatória, participação social insuficiente e respostas tardias, incapazes de recompor integralmente os danos ambientais, territoriais e humanos.
EL PRINCIPIO JURÍDICO DEL VALOR SOCIAL DEL RESIDUO RECICLABLE Y SU HERMENÉUTICA DESTINADA A LA EMANCIPACIÓN DE LOS RECOLECTORES
Este artículo tuvo como objetivo analizar el principio jurídico del valor social de los residuos reciclables como instrumento de protección legal de los derechos de los recolectores y como punto de partida para esbozar la hermenéutica de la Política Nacional de Residuos Sólidos de Brasil, que se basa en el principio de in dubio pro catador, ya que este grupo social ejerce su trabajo históricamente de forma precaria, explotada y estigmatizada, ante la invisibilidad social a la que están sometidos en el actual modelo económico de producción y consumo. Así, después de la digresión realizada en el texto, demostramos cómo la hermenéutica de este principio orienta la delimitación de la responsabilidad de cada uno de los actores involucrados en la cadena de reciclaje, con miras a conducir a la inclusión de los recolectores en las estructuras sociales y la integración en la gestión de los residuos sólidos.
NAVIGATING LOVE IN CONFINEMENT: A LOVE STORY OF LGBTQIA IN PRISON
This qualitative study explores the dynamics of romantic relationships among LGBTQIA+ individuals in prison, highlighting how love adapts and endures under conditions of separation, surveillance, and institutional constraint. Using thematic analysis, five incarcerated participants who identified as LGBTQIA+ and maintained romantic relationships were interviewed. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews, transcription, and iterative coding following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) approach. Five themes emerged: (1) Love Beyond the Walls — the role of letters, calls, and visits in sustaining relational continuity; (2) Entanglements and Unspoken Love — the weakening of outside ties and the emergence of new attachments within the facility; (3) Ghosts of the Past — resurfacing of pre-incarceration relationships complicating present attachments; (4) Silent Sacrifices and Hidden Desires — concealment of identity and unspoken affection under hypermasculine prison culture; and (5) The Plot Twist — overlapping romantic histories generating betrayal and emotional conflict. Findings reveal that while incarceration intensifies relational strain, it also fosters resilience, adaptation, and the renegotiation of intimacy. Consistent with previous scholarship, mediated communication sustained continuity (Licoppe & Smoreda, 2005), while proximity and deprivation facilitated new bonds (Jewkes, 2005). This study contributes to filling the gap in literature on LGBTQIA+ incarcerated individuals, offering implications for policies that address stigma, support psychosocial well-being, and promote inclusive correctional systems.
INCREASE IN THE VEHICLE FLEET AND ITS EFFECTS ON URBAN MOBILITY IN SMALL TOWNS
The increase in the vehicle fleet negatively impacts Brazilian municipalities. Understanding how it impacts Alegre, a virtual public survey was held with its licensed drivers in 2019. In 10 years, its fleet of cars and motorcycles grew faster than its stagnant municipal population growth and faster than municipalities almost four times more populous than it. In mid-2019, of about 104 respondents, 90% had cars and 44% had motorcycles, relative percentages above obtained in a similar survey in Londrina, which has 20 times its population. About 86% of interviewees considered the lack of parking to be a problem and 80% believed that limited waiting could improve urban mobility in Alegre if it had affordable prices. The increase in the vehicle fleet in Alegre causes urban mobility problems. However, its population receives the implementation of a limited waiting system well, contributing to the implementation of public management practices. However, implementing limited waiting alone is insufficient; some Brazilian municipalities combined the implementation of the system with awareness-raising and (re)education of drivers and education of children.
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A STEM-BASED AUGMENTED REALITY MODULE FOR TEACHING GLOBAL WARMING IN HIGH SCHOOLS
Global warming is a critical global issue that requires effective science education strategies to enhance students’ conceptual understanding and environmental awareness. One of the challenges in teaching global warming at the high school level is the abstract nature of the concepts, which often limits students’ comprehension when delivered through conventional learning media. To address this issue, this study aims to design and develop a mobile-based STEM-integrated Augmented Reality (AR) learning module on the topic of global warming and to examine its effectiveness in improving students’ learning outcomes. This study employed a research and development (R&D) design, in which the instructional product was developed using the ADDIE instructional design model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The AR module was developed as a mobile application that integrates STEM principles through interactive 3D visualizations, animations, and contextual problem-solving activities related to global warming phenomena. Content and media validation were conducted by subject-matter experts and instructional media experts using a validation instrument with a four-point Likert scale. The validation results indicated that the developed AR learning module achieved very high validity, with an average score of 3.50 for content validity and 3.65 for media validity. The effectiveness of the module was tested through a quasi-experimental design involving 68 eleventh-grade science students (Class XI MIPA) from a State Senior High School (SMAN), divided into experimental and control groups. Data were analyzed using inferential statistical tests to examine differences in learning outcomes before and after implementation. The results showed a statistically significant improvement in students’ understanding of global warming in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.05), indicating that the STEM-based AR learning module positively influenced students’ learning outcomes. Based on these findings, the STEM-integrated AR mobile learning module on global warming is considered valid and pedagogically effective, and it has strong potential to be implemented as an innovative learning medium to support science education at the senior high school level.
CAPITALIST IDEOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXPLOITATION IN SELECTED SAKAI LITERARY WORKS: A MATERIALIST CRITICISM APPROACH
This study aims to investigate how ideology in the novel Panggil Aku Sakai, the short story “Pipa Air Mata,” the children’s story Aku Ingin Sekolah, and the folk song Lancang Kocik functions as a form of resistance to modern environmental ideology, which tends to be exploitative. Therefore, this research identifies internal and external ideologies in modern literature and oral literature using Terry Eagleton’s materialist theory. External aspects include ideological constituents such as the General Mode of Production (GMP), General Ideology (GI), Literary Mode of Production (LMP), Authorial Ideology (AI), and Aesthetic Ideology (AE). Meanwhile, internal aspects refer to the textual ideology (TI), which is transformed from these external elements. Data collection was conducted through two methods: ethnographic techniques, interviews, and documentation to examine oral literature, and library research techniques to examine modern literary works. The results indicate that the internal and external ideologies in these four works reveal resistance to environmental exploitation.
DRIVING PERFORMANCE OF SMES: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON THE EFFECT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF GREEN MARKETING STRATEGIES
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are key stakeholders in broadening economic diversification, especially in developing countries such as Oman. As competition stiffens and environmental concerns grow, green marketing has become a go-to strategy for SMEs aiming to improve sustainability and performance. But real-world data shows that adopting green marketing doesn't always lead to better outcomes. This suggests that internal organisational conditions might be a deciding factor. Most current research focuses on the direct link between green marketing and performance, often missing the critical roles of culture and management. This systematic review addresses that gap by exploring how organisational culture influences the relationship between green marketing and SME performance. Using the PRISMA framework, we searched eight academic databases, including Scopus and Web of Science. The search covered publications from 2010 to 2025, initially yielding 4,842 records for screening. Following rigorous multi-stage screening, 104 studies met the inclusion criteria for qualitative synthesis. The findings demonstrate that a green organisational culture—characterised by shared environmental values, employee engagement, and innovation orientation—acts as a key mechanism translating green marketing initiatives into tangible economic and environmental outcomes. The study concludes that effective green marketing implementation is fundamentally a cultural process, offering important implications for SME practitioners and policymakers seeking sustainable competitive advantage.
INFLUENCE OF DEBT AND RISK MANAGEMENT SKILLS ON THE MANAGEMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM SCALE ENTERPRISES (SMEs) IN UMUAHIA METROPOLIS, ABIA STATE, NIGERIA
The study examined the influence of debt and risk management skills on the management of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) in Umuahia metropolis, Abia State. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The entire population of 180 SME owners/managers in Umuahia metropolis, Abia State, Nigeria were used for the study. Therefore, census sampling technique was adopted because the entire population is manageable. The instrument for data collection was a 14-item structured questionnaire developed by the researcher, titled "Influence of Debt and Risk Management skills on management of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises Questionnaire (IDRMSMEQ). The designed instrument was validated by three experts in Business Education and Measurement and Evaluation. A reliability coefficient level of 0.80 was obtained. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics of mean for the research questions, standard deviation to determine the closeness and homogeneity of the responses and an independent t-test at a 0.05 level of significance to analyse the hypotheses. The findings revealed a high influence of debt and risk management skills on the management of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) in Umuahia metropolis, Abia State and that there was no significant difference in the debt and risk management skills of experienced and less experienced SME operators/managers. There is empirical evidence showing that debt and risk management skills have high influence on the management of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) in Umuahia metropolis, Abia State, there is need for proper awareness and implementation for a better management of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs). Recommendations were made, one of which is that government agencies, financial institutions and educational bodies should organize continuous financial literacy training programmes for both experienced and less experienced SME operators to enhance effective financial decision making and sustainable business growth.
MÉTODOS ADEQUADOS NA REPARAÇÃO DE DANOS ESTÉTICOS DECORRENTES DE CIRURGIA PLÁSTICA: REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA À LUZ DO DIREITO MÉDICO BRASILEIRO
A ampliação da demanda por procedimentos estéticos, somada ao aumento da litigiosidade nas relações médico-paciente, tem tornado os danos estéticos decorrentes de cirurgia plástica tema relevante para o Direito Médico e para a responsabilidade civil. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar, de modo crítico, a efetividade dos métodos adequados de solução de conflitos, especialmente mediação e conciliação, na reparação de danos estéticos em cirurgia plástica, em comparação com o processo judicial tradicional. Trata-se de revisão integrativa qualitativa, baseada em legislação brasileira, jurisprudência do Superior Tribunal de Justiça, doutrina jurídica e literatura científica sobre mediação em saúde, responsabilidade médica e acesso à justiça, com seleção temática de fontes publicadas preferencialmente nos últimos dez anos, sem exclusão de obras clássicas indispensáveis. Os achados indicam que a mediação e a conciliação podem favorecer soluções mais céleres, confidenciais e ajustadas às necessidades concretas das partes, incluindo reparações não estritamente monetárias, como custeio de tratamento corretivo, acompanhamento psicológico e retratação ética. Contudo, tais métodos não substituem a tutela jurisdicional em hipóteses de assimetria grave, má-fé, risco coletivo, urgência probatória ou violação ética relevante. Conclui-se que a efetividade dos métodos adequados depende do caso concreto e da qualidade técnica da condução procedimental.
ASSÉDIO MORAL E SEXUAL NO AMBIENTE DE TRABALHO EM MANAUS, AMAZONAS: PREVENÇÃO, RESPONSABILIZAÇÃO E TUTELA DA DIGNIDADE HUMANA
O assédio moral e sexual no ambiente de trabalho constitui um fenômeno recorrente nas relações laborais contemporâneas, especialmente em contextos marcados por desigualdades estruturais e fragilidades institucionais. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as formas de manifestação, os impactos e os mecanismos de prevenção e responsabilização dessas práticas, com enfoque no contexto de Manaus, Amazonas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão de literatura, com abordagem qualitativa, baseada na análise de produções científicas e documentos institucionais recentes sobre o tema. Os resultados evidenciaram que o assédio moral e sexual está associado a fatores organizacionais, como sobrecarga de trabalho, ausência de políticas preventivas e relações de poder assimétricas, além de impactar diretamente a saúde mental dos trabalhadores, o desempenho profissional e o clima organizacional. Verificou-se, ainda, que determinados grupos, como mulheres e profissionais da área da saúde, apresentam maior vulnerabilidade, o que reforça a necessidade de abordagens específicas. No campo institucional, identificou-se a existência de instrumentos normativos e mecanismos de responsabilização relevantes, embora sua efetividade dependa da implementação concreta e da transformação cultural nas organizações. Conclui-se que o enfrentamento do assédio no ambiente de trabalho exige uma atuação integrada, envolvendo prevenção, responsabilização e promoção de ambientes laborais pautados na dignidade humana.
MEASURING ONLINE SHOPPING ADDICTION IN THE DIGITAL PLATFORM ERA: SCALE ADAPTATION AND VALIDATION IN INDONESIA
This study develops and validates a technology-oriented Online Shopping Addiction (OSA) scale for Indonesia’s e-commerce environment. Drawing on a quantitative scale-development design, data from 161 high-OSA online shoppers were examined using psychometric analysis and PLS-SEM. The results establish OSA as a reliable and valid multidimensional behavioral addiction construct reflected in seven dimensions: salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal, conflict, relapse, and problems. Among these, problems, salience, and relapse provide the strongest representation, indicating that loss of control, cognitive dominance of shopping, and negative functional outcomes constitute the core of OSA. Cluster analysis suggests that OSA is best understood as a continuum of severity, while demographic influence remain limited. The finding further demonstrate that platform-based persuasive features, such as algorithmic recommendations, flash promotions, and seamless payment mechanisms, amplify individual vulnerability and intensify addictive buying tendencies, thereby underscoring the structural role of digital commerce architecture in shaping addiction risk.
VILLAGE-OWNED ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT MODEL BASED ON GOOD GOVERNANCE: A STUDY OF VILLAGE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN BOGOR REGENCY
This study examines the management model of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDesa) based on good Governance in Bogor Regency. The main focus of the study is to integrate the principles of good Governance, namely Accountability, Rule of Law, Transparency, Professionalism, Effectiveness and Efficiency, Participation, and Responsiveness in BUMDesa governance. Organizational responsiveness is an important factor in increasing public trust and ensuring that the services provided are in accordance with local needs. Human resources (HR) are a key element in the successful implementation of good Governance. However, low levels of education, lack of experience, and age factors of BUMDesa managers are often obstacles to the implementation of good Governance. By adapting Lawrence Green's theory, this study analyzes the predisposing, enabling, and driving factors in BUMDesa management. The novelty in this study includes an adaptive management model that considers local challenges, recommendations for the implementation of information technology-based Governance, and the use of a holistic approach in analyzing factors that influence BUMDesa governance. The results of the study indicate that the application of the responsiveness principle in BUMDesa governance improves operational efficiency, accelerates decision-making, and strengthens public trust. This research provides theoretical and practical contributions to the management of BUMDesa, especially in developing a more adaptive and sustainable governance model. The implication is that the results of the study can be a reference for other villages in Indonesia in improving responsive and innovative BUMDesa governance.
TERRITORIAL-BASED COLLABORATIVE PUBLIC SECURITY GOVERNANCE: A COMMUNITY POLICING MODEL IN URBAN, TOURISM, AND RURAL AREAS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE PURWAKARTA POLICE RESORT
Public security can no longer be governed through an approach that is entirely reactive, uniform, and police-centered. The complexity of urban spaces, tourism areas, and rural communities requires a more collaborative, adaptive, and territorially sensitive model of security governance. This study aims to analyze territorial-based collaborative public security governance through a community policing model within the jurisdiction of the Purwakarta Police Resort. Specifically, it examines the existing implementation of community policing, identifies the driving and inhibiting factors of collaboration, and formulates a public security governance model aligned with the characteristics of urban, tourism, and rural areas. This study employs a qualitative approach with an embedded single-case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis across three units of analysis: Purwakarta Kota, Jatiluhur, and Kiarepedes. The findings show that community policing has been implemented through the Forum Kemitraan Polisi dan Masyarakat (FKPM), dialogic patrols, community visits, conflict mediation, local forums, and digital communication. However, these practices have not yet become fully systemic and sustainable. The findings also indicate that public security strategies need to be differentiated according to territorial characteristics: urban areas require rapid response and technological support, tourism areas require cross-sectoral coordination, and rural areas require the strengthening of social capital and community resilience. The main contribution of this study is the formulation of the Adaptive Territorial Collaborative Security Governance Model, which emphasizes territorial differentiation, hybrid institutional arrangements, multi-actor leadership, socio-material networks, and contextual outcomes.
REGULATORY TRUST AS A PSYCHOLOGICAL ANTECEDENT OF WELLNESS TOURISM EXPERIENCE: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF PERCEIVED PRODUCT SAFETY
This study examines the role of regulatory trust as a psychological antecedent of wellness tourism experience and investigates its indirect effect on tourists’ behavioral intention through perceived product safety, experience quality, and emotional well-being. A quantitative approach was applied using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from 302 domestic tourists in Indonesia who had participated in wellness tourism activities within the last six months. Measurement scales were adapted from prior studies and analyzed using SmartPLS with 5,000 bootstrapping resamples. The findings indicate that regulatory trust significantly enhances perceived product safety, which positively influences wellness experience quality. Experience quality significantly improves emotional well-being, and emotional well-being strongly predicts behavioral intention. The results also confirm both single and sequential mediation effects, demonstrating that regulatory trust influences behavioral intention indirectly through a chain of cognitive and affective mechanisms. This study contributes to wellness tourism literature by integrating institutional trust into the experience formation framework. It highlights regulatory trust as an intangible yet strategic component that shapes tourists’ psychological security, emotional outcomes, and future behavioral intentions.
ESG AND THE MEDIATING ROLE OF INVESTMENT DECISIONS ON OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE AND FIRM VALUE
Investment decisions made by investors and company management are not only based on a company's financial performance but also on environmental sustainability, which is considered a responsibility for the impact of company activities. This study examines energy companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange, an emerging market with major environmental and governance challenges. Integrating ESG into corporate strategy is crucial as a form of responsibility and response to global climate change. This study used a purposive sampling technique and identified 27 energy sector companies during the 2017–2021 period, resulting in a total of 135 observations. ESG disclosures were obtained from sustainability reports and annual financial reports, which serve as proxies for company transparency and commitment to sustainable practices. The research data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) method with Partial Least Squares (PLS) techniques. The findings indicate that ESG, ownership structure, and investment decisions significantly influence firm value. Ownership structure influences investment decisions, but ESG has no significant impact on investment decisions. As a result, investment decisions only serve as a mediating variable in the relationship between ownership structure and firm value, while ESG demonstrates a direct relationship with firm value.
WHEN THE JARGON SHIFTS THE PHILOSOPHY: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EVOLUTION OF CURRICULUM AND LEARNING APPROACHES IN INDONESIA
This study aims to analyze the shift in the orientation of education policy in Indonesia from a philosophical approach to a jargonistic dominance, with a focus on the Independent Curriculum and its derivative policies, such as deep learning and the seven Habits of Great Indonesian Children. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) method. This study analyzes official policy documents, teacher training guidelines, and public discourse on education. The findings show that the policy terms that are often used are rhetorical and not yet fully rooted in consistent philosophical and pedagogical values. This condition creates ambiguity at the level of classroom practice and weakens teachers’ interpretive capacity in translating policy into meaningful learning. Philosophical approaches such as constructivism, humanism, and critical pedagogy have been marginalized in contemporary policy discourse. This study recommends the importance of restoring value-based and philosophically reflective policy directions, as well as the need for academic community involvement in the education policy formulation process.
OPTIMIZING LOCAL RETRIBUTION GOVERNANCE TO ENHANCE REGIONAL REVENUE IN INDONESIA: A SOCIO-LEGAL STUDY
This study examines the governance of local retribution collection in Indonesia, specifically, Singkawang City and its contribution to enhancing regional original revenue (PAD). Using a socio-legal approach, this research combines normative legal analysis with empirical field data obtained through interviews and document studies. The findings reveal that although the local government has implemented various strategies, including public outreach and institutional collaboration, the effectiveness of retribution collection remains constrained by structural and behavioral challenges, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Key obstacles include declining business activity, low public awareness, and administrative inefficiencies. The study argues that optimizing retribution governance requires institutional innovation, digitalization of payment systems, and strengthening legal awareness among taxpayers. This research contributes to the discourse on local fiscal governance and legal effectiveness in decentralized systems.
THE DSRES SCALE: A MEASURE OF QUALITY, RELIABILITY, AND NOMOLOGICAL VALIDITY IN DESIGN SCIENCE RESEARCH
This study develops the Design Science Research Effectiveness Scale (DSRES), a novel measurement scale for assessing the quality of design science research effectiveness in management contexts. Findings reveal that greater relationship effectiveness is significantly associated with higher levels of Rigor, Utility, Knowledge, Engagement, and Evaluation. The scale provides strong evidence of reliability, discriminant, nomological, and convergent validity, confirming its psychometric soundness in a sample of Brazilian managers. The correlations among dimensions underscore the model's coherence and reinforce its second-order reliability. DSRES is versatile enough for broad application in organizational problem-solving and artifact creation, offering both scholars and practitioners a systematic framework for evaluating DSR outcomes. Suggestions for future research applications are disclosed.
DOCÊNCIA EM TEMPOS DE PLURALIDADE: DESAFIOS PEDAGÓGICOS, CONDIÇÕES INSTITUCIONAIS E A CONSTRUÇÃO DE PRÁTICAS INCLUSIVAS NA ESCOLA CONTEMPORÂNEA
Este artigo, configurado como ensaio teórico de abordagem qualitativa, fundamentado em revisão narrativa de literatura e análise documental de marcos normativos brasileiros e internacionais, examina os desafios enfrentados pelos docentes diante da crescente heterogeneidade das salas de aula contemporâneas, com foco nas tensões entre a defesa formal da inclusão e as condições concretas de trabalho pedagógico. Recusando tanto a culpabilização individual do professor quanto a romantização das práticas inclusivas, o texto analisa a diversidade como questão educacional, social e política que exige respostas institucionais articuladas. O problema de pesquisa orienta-se pela seguinte interrogação: de que maneira os docentes podem construir práticas pedagógicas inclusivas considerando os limites da formação inicial e continuada, a insuficiência de recursos e de apoio institucional, as exigências curriculares e avaliativas, e a necessidade de garantir o direito de aprendizagem de todos os estudantes? O desenvolvimento articula fundamentos conceituais da inclusão, da equidade e da diversidade; examina as insuficiências da formação docente à luz das diretrizes curriculares de 2024 e da crítica contemporânea à BNC-Formação; analisa as condições materiais do trabalho pedagógico em diálogo com pesquisa empírica nacional sobre intensificação e sobrecarga docente; e discute a atualização do Desenho Universal para a Aprendizagem. A contribuição articula, de modo integrado, dimensões conceitual, normativa e contextual do debate, sustentando que a inclusão substantiva requer planejamento estruturado, suporte especializado, revisão curricular e avaliativa, gestão comprometida e políticas públicas que superem a dimensão meramente normativa.
REGULAMENTAÇÃO DAS ARTES MARCIAIS NO BRASIL: IMPACTOS DO SISTEMA CONFEF/CREF NA IDENTIDADE, LEGITIMIDADE E AUTONOMIA
O presente artigo analisou a regulamentação das artes marciais no Brasil a partir da atuação do sistema CONFEF/CREF, com foco em seus impactos sobre a identidade profissional, a legitimidade da atuação e a autonomia dos praticantes. A pesquisa caracterizou-se como qualitativa, de natureza exploratória e descritiva, desenvolvida por meio de revisão bibliográfica do tipo narrativa, com abordagem analítico-crítica, aliada à análise documental, a partir de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar que articulou os campos da Educação Física, do Direito e das Ciências Sociais. Os resultados evidenciaram que a regulamentação profissional apresentou efeitos ambíguos: ao mesmo tempo em que contribuiu para a organização do campo e para a garantia de padrões mínimos de qualidade, também produziu tensões com práticas culturais historicamente constituídas. Observou-se que a exigência de registro profissional redefiniu critérios de reconhecimento, hierarquizou saberes e limitou formas tradicionais de ensino e transmissão do conhecimento. Sob a perspectiva jurídica, tais dinâmicas configuraram restrições desproporcionais ao direito fundamental ao trabalho, especialmente quando não amparadas por previsão legal específica. Nesse contexto, o estudo dialogou com os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS 4, 10 e 16), evidenciando implicações educacionais, sociais e institucionais. Concluiu-se que a regulamentação deve ser conduzida de forma equilibrada, orientada pelos princípios da proporcionalidade, da justiça social e do respeito à diversidade cultural.
PORTUGAL COMO METÁFORA NO TEATRO DE JOSÉ SARAMAGO
A peça Que farei com este livro? (1998), de José Saramago, dramatiza o esforço de Luís de Camões para publicar Os Lusíadas em um Portugal marcado pela censura inquisitorial e pela decadência imperial. Este artigo investiga a representação de Portugal como instrumento de redescrição do real, analisando o papel do título e de imagens centrais na produção de inovação semântica. A análise fundamenta-se na hermenêutica de Paul Ricoeur e na imagologia crítica de Eduardo Lourenço, com ênfase no conceito de “metáfora viva”. Conclui-se que a peça utiliza a metáfora como operador heurístico para confrontar a imagem épica da nação com sua condição histórica, tensionando identidade e crise no contexto português.
REVISING THE CONCEPT OF HEARINGS THROUGH THE “PROCEEDINGS DISMISSAL” MECHANISM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF CONSUMER DISPUTES AT THE CONSUMER DISPUTE RESOLUTION BOARD (BPSK)
The objective of this study is to propose a conceptual update to the consumer dispute resolution process at the Consumer Dispute Resolution Agency (BPSK) by adopting the hearing procedures of the Administrative Court (PTUN), specifically the “Dismissal Process” at the initial stage of the hearing—a feature not found in other judicial institutions. This study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach and analyzed through primary data sources from a literature review, wherein the researcher examined data from regulations, books, and journals. The study employed an approach focused on legal regulations and a conceptual framework. The research findings indicate that the Dismissal Process implemented at the BPSK operates effectively because it provides legal certainty for consumers seeking justice. This includes changes in the BPSK’s trial proceedings that incorporate the dismissal process. Without this process, consumers would remain subject to initial rulings lacking legal justification. This is necessary because the BPSK is expected to be able to implement the initial stage of the Administrative Court (PTUN) proceedings, as many consumers are still rejected by the BPSK without legally sound legal considerations. The existence of this dismissal process will certainly have an impact on consumers filing complaints, thereby realizing legal certainty and legal justice.
EXPLORING THE MOBILE JKN DIGITAL HEALTH SERVICES PUBLIC VALUE BASED ON INFORMATION SYSTEM QUALITY, TRUST IN E-GOVERNMENT, AND CITIZEN SATISFACTION IN JAVA ISLAND
This research aims to confirm the integration of DeLone McLean IS Success Model and Public Value Theory on Mobile JKN digital health services. Since its 2018 launch, Mobile JKN has experienced several information system issues. This impact in low usage of Mobile JKN due to public distrust and dissatisfaction, meaning citizens have not yet fully realised the public value of the services provided. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0 to analyze 361 respondents across Mobile JKN users in Java Island. Service quality and system quality have a significant relationship with e-government public value, but not with information quality. All information system quality variables have a significant relationship with trust in e-government and citizen satisfaction. Trust in e-government and citizen satisfaction also have a significant relationship with e-government public value. The indirect effect relationship shows that trust in e-government and citizen satisfaction can mediate a significant relationship between all information system quality variables and e-government public value. This study was unable to fully confirm the integration of the ISSM and Public Value constructs. However, these results underscore the importance of information systems quality in digital health services for shaping trust and satisfaction and delivering public value to citizens.
A COLLABORATIVE LEADERSHIP MODEL TO IMPROVE SCHOOL EFFECTIVENESS IN THAILAND
This study developed and examined a collaborative leadership model to enhance school effectiveness in Thai primary schools within the Suratthani Primary Educational Service Area Office (PESAO) 1. A mixed‑methods design was used across three phases. Phase 1 assessed needs through a questionnaire completed by 30 school administrators and teachers from six model schools, complemented by interviews. Data analysis was undertaken using descriptive statistics and the Modified Priority Needs Index (PNImodified). Phase 2 involved model development based on the needs assessment, literature, and expert validation. Phase 3 implemented the model in six schools and evaluated its implementation process and stakeholder satisfaction. The current level of collaborative leadership was moderate (M = 3.35), while the desired level was highest (M = 4.74), yielding an overall PNImodified of 0.41. Work System ranked as the highest priority need (PNImodified = 0.45). The developed model comprises five components—Vision, Inspiration, Empowerment, Work Systems, and Role Modeling—and three school effectiveness dimensions. Experts rated the model's appropriateness and feasibility as the highest. Implementation process and stakeholder satisfaction were also rated highest (M = 4.68 and M = 4.71, respectively). The model provides a validated, contextually appropriate framework for developing collaborative leadership to improve school effectiveness, with strong practical utility and stakeholder acceptance.
INDIGENOUS VS. CHINESE IN INDONESIA: ENDURING RACIAL PREJUDICE IN MIRA WIDJAJA’S NOVEL
This study aims to analyze the issue of racial prejudice between Chinese Indonesians and indigenous Indonesians during the New Order era. This era became a crucial phase that narrated the complex and difficult lives of Chinese Indonesians in Indonesia. The construction of racial prejudice in the New Order period had a long-lasting impact on the lives of Chinese Indonesians in the country. This research employs qualitative methods with a sociological approach to literature to examine issues of prejudice between indigenous and Chinese groups. The data consist of words, phrases, and sentences that indicate symptoms of racial prejudice in the novel. The data source is the text of Mira Widjaja’s novel Bukan Cinta Sesaat. The findings show that Bukan Cinta Sesaat represents mutual prejudice between indigenous Indonesians and Chinese Indonesians. As the author, Mira Widjaja attempts to show that indigenous and Chinese communities in Indonesia have long been trapped in enduring racial prejudice. This prejudice reflects how indigenous Indonesians generalize both Peranakan (acculturated Chinese) and Totok (pure-blooded Chinese). The long-spanning narrative background in the novel illustrates the complexity of relations between indigenous and Chinese groups. The story stretches across conflicts from the 1960s to the late 1980s, emphasizing the notion that racial prejudice between these groups has persisted for generations—and may even be perpetual. As a minority group, Chinese Indonesians also attempt various forms of resistance, both open and covert, to counter the stereotypes and prejudices directed at them.
COMMENTARY ON THE ARTICLE "VARIATIONS OF SEA LEVEL AT VARNA TIDE GAUGE 1928–2025"
The article "Variations of Sea Level at Varna Tide Gauge 1928–2025" presents a valuable long‑term tide‑gauge record from the western Black Sea, but several methodological weaknesses limit its scientific strength. Documentation of Quality assurance/Quality control (QA/QC) procedures and missing‑data handling is insufficient, even though the authors note filling gaps with Caterpillar SSA and corrections for vertical land motion. The harmonic analysis appears to overinterpret numerous minor tidal constituents—many below the ±2 mm instrument precision—suggesting noise fitting rather than physical tidal signals. Long‑period constituent estimates derived from regression lack theoretical validation and do not clearly separate climatic variability from astronomical forcing. The absence of confidence intervals, robustness checks, and model‑selection criteria further reduces statistical rigor. Despite these issues, the study preserves an important observational record and aligns with previously reported Black Sea sea‑level trends. Greater methodological transparency and integration of regional atmospheric, hydrological, comparative TG, and satellite datasets would significantly strengthen the interpretation of the Varna sea level record.
IMPACT OF INFORMATION FLOW ON BUDGETING AND PROJECT COORDINATION WITH BIM
The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry faces a historical gap in productivity, often exacerbated by "data obesity"—the overproduction of information that does not add value to the final process. This study investigates how the standardization of information flow impacts two critical BIM (Building Information Modeling) uses: cost estimation and project coordination. Adopting a qualitative and exploratory approach combined with computer simulation, the research analyzes the Lean Information Management (LIM) concept and the Level of Information Need (LOIN) framework. The methodology involves comparing a traditional unstructured workflow with an optimized scenario where Lean principles and ISO 19650 standards are applied to digital data assets. Through the analysis of information exchanges via IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) standards, the results demonstrate that standardizing data flows significantly reduces rework, eliminates "informational waste," and improves quantity accuracy in 5D BIM. The findings suggest that a structured information flow, aligned with the newly published ISO 19650-6:2025 and ISO 7817-1:2024 standards, is essential for enabling advanced BIM applications, such as Digital Twins and automated AI-driven workflows, by ensuring that data is precise, timely, and fit-for-purpose.
GREEN FTTH: ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF ACCESS NETWORKS AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGNS
Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) has moved from a capacity upgrade option to a strategic sustainability choice for broadband access. Compared with copper-intensive access networks, FTTH reduces the number of active field elements, lowers maintenance intensity, and creates a better foundation for long-term decarbonization. Yet “green FTTH” is not automatic. As traffic volumes increase, access operators still face rising electricity demand from optical line terminals (OLTs), optical network units (ONUs), customer-premises equipment (CPE), cooling systems, and supporting facilities. This review paper synthesizes literature published between 2020 and 2025 to examine how FTTH and related passive optical access architectures can be designed, operated, and upgraded for higher energy efficiency and broader environmental sustainability. Following a structured review approach, the paper analyzes five themes: comparative energy performance of access architectures; device-level and protocol-level power-saving methods; network design, migration, and resilience strategies; life-cycle and circular-economy considerations; and future directions associated with AI-enabled operations, fixed-mobile convergence, and next-generation PON evolution. The review finds that FTTH, especially GPON- and XGS-PON-based passive architectures, consistently outperforms legacy copper and hybrid alternatives in energy-per-bit and energy-per-subscriber terms when migration is accompanied by copper retirement and careful CPE optimization (Europacable, 2022; World Broadband Association [WBBA], 2024). However, the environmental outcome depends increasingly on operational practices beyond the optical distribution network itself, especially sleep/doze modes, dynamic bandwidth allocation, centralized and simplified architectures, renewable power integration, facility efficiency, repair logistics, and the embodied impacts of equipment manufacturing (Khalili et al., 2020; Lorincz et al., 2025; Telefónica, 2022). The paper concludes that sustainable FTTH design requires a whole-system view in which architecture, electronics, software control, customer equipment, and circular procurement policies are treated as one optimization problem rather than as separate engineering layers.
UNDIAGNOSED DIABETES IN ADULTS IN THE USA AND BULGARIA: PREVALENCE AND TRENDS
This report presents a comparative analysis of the prevalence of diabetes in the United States and Bulgaria from 2001 to 2025, focusing on differences in diagnostic criteria, methodology, and epidemiological trends. The data show a significant increase in the prevalence of total and diagnosed diabetes in the U.S., while undiagnosed cases remain relatively stable. In Bulgaria, a steady increase in prevalence is also reported, particularly among older age groups, with approximately 16.5% of the population living with diabetes. Differences in the diagnostic criteria used (ADA vs. WHO) make direct comparisons between the countries difficult. The need to establish a national epidemiological surveillance system modeled after NHANES (U.S.) is emphasized in order to more accurately monitor and prevent the disease.
PENNY STOCK RETURNS IN THE MALAYSIAN STOCK MARKET: COGNITIVE HEURISTIC PERSPECTIVES
In recent years, the prevalence of penny stock fever has risen in the Malaysian stock market, sparking interest among individual investors due to the potential for higher returns. Commonly, individual investors overlook fundamental and technical analysis when investing in penny stocks because of the nature of these stocks. Thus, this study is crucial for examining penny stock returns in the Malaysian stock market from a cognitive heuristic perspective. Specifically, this study employs monthly panel data of 26 penny property firms from 1st January 2019 to 31st May 2025. The dependent variable is penny stock returns in the Malaysian stock market, and the main independent variables are overconfidence, anchoring, and herding. Furthermore, this study employs three static panel data methods, namely Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (Pooled OLS), Fixed Effects Model (FEM), and Random Effects Model (REM). It examined the specific effects of Pooled OLS, REM, and FEM using the Poolability test, the Breusch-Pagan (Lagrange Multiplier) Test, and the Hausman Test. Subsequently, three diagnostic tests are conducted: descriptive analysis, the serial correlation test, and the heteroskedasticity test. Based on these analyses, Malaysian investors exhibit irrationality in their investment decision-making, driven by overconfidence, anchoring, and herding.
AN ANALYSİS OF THE ACADEMİC ACHİEVEMENT PROFİLES OF YEAR 8 STUDENTS USİNG LATENT PROFİLE ANALYSİS
This study examined the academic performance patterns in core subject grades among 8th-grade students attending schools in the province of Antalya and assessed how these patterns varied according to different educational and sociocultural variables. Going beyond approaches that focus solely on average grades, latent profile analysis was used to determine whether students could be grouped into similar performance categories. The sample consisted of 314 students. Grades in Turkish, mathematics, science, social studies, foreign language, and religious culture were included in the model as continuous variables. Model comparisons revealed four distinct profiles, presenting a sequential academic model ranging from low to high performance; mathematics and foreign language courses provided clearer distinctions between the profiles. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the variables explaining these profiles. The results indicate that academic performance profiles are related not only to cognitive performance but also to the educational and sociocultural resources available to students.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCHOOL COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT AND ITS ROLE IN ENHANCING EDUCATIONAL QUALITY: A CASE STUDY OF BRAINY BUNCH INDONESIA
This study examines environmental school community management at Brainy Bunch Indonesia, an Islamic Montessori-based early childhood education institution adopting bilingual instruction. Using a qualitative case study design, data were generated through non-participant observations, semi-structured interviews with school leaders, teachers, staff, and parents, and document analysis. The findings show that interconnected scheduling systems, standardized professional development, and value-based programming strengthen organizational coherence and instructional consistency. At the same time, centralized coordination constrains pedagogical flexibility, teacher agency, and meaningful stakeholder participation. Parental involvement remains largely communicative and symbolic, while stakeholder engagement in programme design is limited by top-down governance. These results indicate that educational quality is shaped not only by managerial coherence but also by participatory governance and relational practices. The study contributes evidence from a value-based early childhood context and argues for hybrid governance models that balance organizational efficiency with inclusive participation to support sustainable educational quality.

En la actualidad, el desarrollo de habilidades de orden superior en los niños del nivel inicial constituye una necesidad fundamental para fortalecer aprendizajes significativos y una educación de calidad. En ese sentido, la presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar la influencia del aprendizaje basado en proyectos en el desarrollo de habilidades de orden superior en niños del nivel inicial de Trujillo durante el año 2025. El estudio se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo aplicada y con un diseño preexperimental. La muestra estuvo conformada por 32 niños de 4 años, a quienes se les aplicó un programa de aprendizaje basado en proyectos. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó un test que permitió medir el nivel de habilidades de orden superior antes y después de la aplicación de la propuesta pedagógica. Entre los principales resultados se evidenció una mejora significativa en los niveles alcanzados por los estudiantes, observándose un incremento en la media de puntuaciones del pre test (6,75) al post test (14,63), así como una reducción en la variabilidad de las puntuaciones, lo que demuestra la efectividad de la intervención aplicada. Se concluye que el aprendizaje basado en proyectos influye significativamente en el desarrollo de habilidades de orden superior, debido a que existen diferencias estadísticas significativas entre los resultados obtenidos en ambas pruebas (Z=-4,459; p<0,05), confirmando la efectividad de la propuesta pedagógica implementada.
BRECHA JUDICIAL ENTRE EL INTERÉS SUPERIOR DE LOS MENORES Y LA CUSTODIA COMPARTIDA EN PERÚ
La determinación de la custodia de los menores en procesos de divorcio enfrenta múltiples problemas estructurales que dificultan una decisión verdaderamente centrada en el interés superior del niño. Ante este contexto, como objetivo se pretende analizar la brecha judicial entre el interés superior de los menores y la custodia compartida en Perú. Referente a la metodología, se estableció el enfoque cualitativo con un tipo de investigación documental. La muestra, seleccionada de forma no probabilística e intencional, consistió en 24 resoluciones judiciales sobre tenencia y custodia emitidas por los juzgados de familia de la provincia de Pisco, durante el periodo 2024-2025. Entre los resultado, se encontró una profunda brecha entre el estándar del Interés Superior del Niño (ISN) y su aplicación judicial en los juzgados de familia de Pisco, Perú. Se concluye que la fundamentación judicial es fragmentada y desproporcionada invisibilizando dimensiones esenciales como identidad, salud, educación y vulnerabilidad.
THE POWER OF PERSONAL BRANDING: HOW FOOD VLOGGERS INFLUENCE SUBSCRIPTION DECISIONS ON YOUTUBE CHANNEL
The research ultimately seeks to clarify the psychological mechanisms linking personal branding to subscription behaviour. It concludes that understanding audience perception is crucial for strengthening digital engagement. A quantitative method using path analysis was employed to assess the structural relationships among personal branding, personal image, and subscription decisions. The sample included 800 respondents (400 Gen Y and 400 Gen Z) who follow Indonesia’s ten most popular food vloggers, using structured questionnaires to gather data. The study concludes that personal image is a critical psychological bridge between personal branding and audience commitment. Generational distinctions further reveal that creators must tailor their approach to different demographic expectations. The findings strengthen theoretical models that connect branding, perception, and digital engagement. They suggest that effective digital personas are central to audience loyalty across platforms. Managers and creators should design branding strategies that resonate culturally and emotionally. Strong personal branding can translate into long-term subscriber loyalty and greater ecosystem value. The study is limited to focuses solely on food vloggers, which restricts generalization to other countries and content categories. Future research should broaden geographical and content scope while integrating behavioral analytics. Such expansions would deepen understanding of how personal branding operates across diverse digital ecosystems.
TAGLISH TALK: A SOCIOLINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF CODE-SWITCHING IN TONI GONZAGA'S VLOGS
Filipinos have numerous reasons for speaking multiple languages, whether because of the country's archipelago of 7,641 islands, historical colonization, or the influence of globalization. Due to these factors, Filipinos have been exposed to code-switching, and it has become common in everyday communication, whether in face-to-face conversations or on electronic devices. One of today's most common forms of entertainment is watching video blogs, or "vlogs," on YouTube, where celebrities or influencers share their daily lives. Toni Gonzaga is a Filipino celebrity known as the Philippines' Multimedia Star. She established her YouTube channel, Toni Gonzaga Studio, which became one of the most popular channels in the Philippines. This is where Toni categorizes her content by topic. This is a qualitative-descriptive study subjecting two vlogs to analysis. Moreover, this study found that: 1. All three types of code switching – intrasentential, intersentential, and tag are found in both vlogs; 2. Among the three types of code-switching, both vlogs showed intrasentential code-switching as the most frequently used type 3. Four (4) out of six (6) Appel and Muysken functions were observed – referential, directive, expressive, and phatic 4. Among four (4) functions found in both vlogs, the referential function dominates the other functions; and 5. Sociocultural implications of identity construction, language attitude, and cultural hybridity were observed.
IMPACTO DE LA MÚSICA EN EL DESARROLLO INTEGRAL DE NIÑOS EN EDUCACIÓN INICIAL DESDE UNA REVISIÓN SISTEMÁTICA
La educación musical inicial no es un adorno académico sino una herramienta necesaria para el desarrollo de niños y niñas en educación inicial, sin embargo existen brechas en su enseñanza que van desde programas de estudios desactualizados hasta la falta de formación en música de los docentes. Ante tal realidad el presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el impacto de la música en el desarrollo integral de niños en educación inicial desde una revisión sistemática. En cuanto a la metodología el estudio tiene un enfoque cualitativo con un tipo de investigación documental centrada en la revisión sistemática y los protocolos PRIMA. Como resultado, se encontró que la música potencia habilidades cognitivas generales, emocionales y el pensamiento lógico-matemático. Se concluye que la música es una estrategia pedagógica altamente efectiva y multidimensional para la educación inicial. Sus beneficios abarcan desde el desarrollo cognitivo (lógico-matemático, lectoescritura, creatividad) hasta el socioemocional y motor, con un consenso unánime entre docentes sobre su utilidad en el lenguaje oral.
ABUNDANCE, COMPOSITION, AND DISTRIBUTION OF MICROPLASTICS IN AMAZONICAL ON A NON-URBANIZED BEACH
Microplastic pollution has become a global environmental issue, affecting all aquatic environments, especially coastal ecosystems. This study investigated the abundance and diversity of microplastics in two coastal environments (restinga and mid-littoral zone) on a non-urbanized beach: Itatinga Beach, in Alcântara, Maranhão. The objective was to understand the distribution and characteristics of these particles deposited in the studied area. A total of 220 particles classified as micro- and mesoplastics were collected and analyzed using flotation, drying, visual inspection, and classification methods based on origin, shape, color, and type. The results showed a higher overall abundance of microplastics in the restinga, with an average of 23.8 ± 8.54 items/m², compared to the mid-littoral zone, which had an average of 20.8 ± 5.56 items/m². The diversity of colors and the Microplastic Diversity Index (MDI) were also higher in the restinga, especially at sampling point P3, indicating multiple sources of pollution, mainly waste from human activities and the degradation of fishing materials. The predominant morphologies were fragments and fibers, associated with fishing debris. The microplastics found pose environmental risks, affecting marine biodiversity and potentially human health due to bioaccumulation and ingestion by marine organisms. The findings highlight the need for appropriate monitoring and management strategies to reduce contamination and the ecological and public health impacts related to the presence of microplastics in non-urbanized coastal environments.
O TEMPO DA INFÂNCIA ENTRE O BRINCAR E O CONTROLE: REGULAÇÕES DO COTIDIANO ESCOLAR EM UMA INSTITUIÇÃO MUNICIPAL DE EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL NO SUL DO PIAUÍ
O artigo analisa os mecanismos de controle do tempo da infância em uma escola municipal de Educação Infantil localizada no município de Uruçuí, sul do estado do Piauí, problematizando as tensões entre o direito à vivência da infância e a racionalização do cotidiano escolar. Fundamentado nos estudos da Sociologia da Infância e em abordagens críticas sobre tempo, disciplina e institucionalização da vida escolar, o estudo dialoga principalmente com Agamben, Elias, Foucault, Arroyo, Borba e Benjamin. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de natureza documental e configurada como estudo de caso, desenvolvida a partir da análise do Projeto Político-Pedagógico, dos Planejamentos Semanais e dos sinais organizadores do espaço escolar. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciam que, embora os documentos institucionais reconheçam discursivamente a importância do brincar e das experiências infantis, a organização temporal da rotina escolar permanece estruturada por lógicas disciplinadoras e produtivistas que subordinam a infância ao ofício de aluno. Identificou-se a predominância de práticas voltadas ao controle do corpo, da circulação e do tempo das crianças, mediante rotinas rigidamente organizadas, fragmentação das atividades e limitação dos espaços de autonomia infantil. O estudo demonstra que o tempo livre e o brincar aparecem institucionalmente condicionados à funcionalidade pedagógica, reduzindo a possibilidade de experiências espontâneas e de apropriação do tempo pelas próprias crianças. Conclui-se que a escolarização da infância, atravessada pelas racionalidades contemporâneas de produtividade e regulação, tende a converter o tempo infantil em tempo administrado, enfraquecendo experiências fundamentais à constituição cultural da infância. O artigo defende a necessidade de reconfiguração das práticas pedagógicas e das políticas curriculares da Educação Infantil, de modo a reconhecer a infância como experiência social, cultural e temporal legítima.
INFÂNCIA CAPTURADA: PERFORMATIVIDADE, RACIONALIDADE ESCOLAR E CONTROLE DO TEMPO INFANTIL EM UM MUNICÍPIO DO SUL DO PIAUÍ
O artigo analisa criticamente as relações entre a ampliação contemporânea da jornada escolar, as políticas de performatividade educacional e os processos de racionalização do tempo infantil no cotidiano escolar. A pesquisa fundamenta-se na triangulação entre dados censitários referentes às Metas 6 e 7 do Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE 2014–2024) e uma pesquisa de campo desenvolvida em uma escola municipal de Educação Infantil localizada em Uruçuí-PI. Metodologicamente, trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, documental e analítico, realizado por meio de estudo de caso, análise de conteúdo e interpretação crítica de documentos escolares, incluindo Projeto Político-Pedagógico, Planejamentos Semanais e sinais de organização temporal presentes no espaço escolar. Além da análise dos documentos institucionais, foram mobilizadas categorias interpretativas relacionadas à performatividade, à racionalização temporal e à racionalização institucional da infância, permitindo compreender a articulação entre gestão educacional contemporânea e intensificação do controle institucional da experiência infantil. Os resultados revelam que a ampliação do tempo escolar ocorre simultaneamente à intensificação de mecanismos de controle institucional da infância e à crescente centralidade dos indicadores de desempenho educacional. Os dados demonstram que, embora o Ideb do município tenha apresentado crescimento entre 2007 e 2016, os indicadores recentes do Saeb revelam baixos níveis de proficiência em Língua Portuguesa e Matemática. Paralelamente, a pesquisa de campo evidenciou a fragmentação do cotidiano infantil, a subordinação pedagógica do brincar e a subordinação da experiência da infância à lógica da produtividade escolar. A análise demonstra que o crescimento quantitativo dos indicadores educacionais coexistiu com a permanência de baixos níveis de aprendizagem, sugerindo a predominância de uma racionalidade performativa voltada mais à gestão do desempenho estatístico do que à ampliação qualitativa das experiências educativas. Conclui-se que a racionalidade escolar contemporânea articula políticas de educação integral e gestão por desempenho em um processo de intensificação institucional do controle da infância, subordinando o cotidiano escolar à lógica da performatividade e da mensuração educacional.
ESCRITAS MARGINAIS E DISPUTAS DE SENTIDO NO COTIDIANO ESCOLAR
O presente artigo analisa as pichações produzidas no interior de uma escola pública municipal do interior do Piauí, compreendendo-as não apenas como marcas de depredação patrimonial, mas como práticas discursivas juvenis atravessadas por disputas simbólicas, processos identitários e formas cotidianas de resistência. Partindo de uma abordagem qualitativa, o estudo fundamenta-se na análise interpretativa de inscrições, frases, desenhos e marcas produzidas pelos estudantes em diferentes espaços da instituição escolar. O trabalho dialoga com as contribuições teóricas que possibilitam articular as noções de cotidiano, disciplinamento e produção do espaço para compreender a escola como território de tensões, apropriações e negociações simbólicas. Os resultados evidenciam que as pichações escolares funcionam como linguagens de pertencimento, visibilidade e contestação, revelando conflitos silenciosos frequentemente invisibilizados pelas práticas institucionais de controle. Observa-se que os escritos juvenis expressam sentimentos relacionados à afetividade, à identidade, ao humor, à sexualidade, às relações de poder e à necessidade de reconhecimento social. Conclui-se que as pichações constituem manifestações culturais que tensionam a lógica disciplinar da escola e revelam dimensões subjetivas do cotidiano estudantil que dificilmente emergem nos canais formais de comunicação escolar.
DINÂMICA DOS DETERMINANTES SOCIOAMBIENTAIS E A EMERGÊNCIA DE ENDEMIAS: RESPOSTAS ESTRUTURAIS DA SAÚDE PÚBLICA FRENTE A NOVOS RISCOS SANITÁRIOS
Objetivou-se analisar os determinantes socioambientais relacionados à emergência de endemias e descrever as respostas estruturais da saúde pública frente aos desafios sanitários associados às mudanças ambientais, às desigualdades sociais e às transformações epidemiológicas contemporâneas. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, de abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvida a partir de buscas realizadas nas bases PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Scopus, além de documentos oficiais e legislações brasileiras. Incluíram-se estudos publicados entre 2010 a 2026, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, relacionados à temática proposta. Os resultados demonstraram que fatores como crescimento urbano desordenado, precariedade do saneamento básico, alterações climáticas, vulnerabilidade social e limitações estruturais dos serviços públicos contribuíram para ampliação dos riscos sanitários e emergência de agravos endêmicos em diferentes territórios. Também foram identificadas fragilidades na integração entre vigilância epidemiológica, gestão sanitária e atenção primária, comprometendo a capacidade de resposta frente às emergências em saúde. Conclui-se que o fortalecimento da vigilância em saúde, da atuação territorial da Atenção Primária à Saúde e das ações intersetoriais apresenta relevância para organização de respostas sanitárias mais efetivas diante das transformações socioambientais contemporâneas.

FINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CZECH FORENSIC SCIENCE/CRIMINALISTICS
The field of financial investigation in contemporary Czech criminalistic and security theory and practice is an area that continues to require proactive action and attention; however, in the author's view, it also deserves to be firmly anchored within the methods of criminalistic tactics. In this article, the author proposes and justifies the firm establishment of the 'Financial Investigation' method within Czech criminalistics, presenting this vision to the international professional community. These assertions are grounded in the author's research, pedagogical, and practical experience within the field, with an emphasis extending beyond pre-trial criminal proceedings. The criminalistic definition of the Financial Investigation method encompasses appropriate procedures, tools, and tactical operations for establishing the asset profile of the offender and their associates, as well as for the seizure of illicit gains, instrumentalities, equivalent values, and the claims of injured parties and crime victims.
ESTRATEGIAS LÚDICAS Y PSICOMOTRICIDAD GRUESA EN EL NIVEL INICIAL EN UNA INSTITUCIÓN EDUCATIVA PÚBLICA EN TRUJILLO, PERÚ
La psicomotricidad gruesa constituye un componente esencial del desarrollo integral infantil, pues sustenta la adquisición de habilidades cognitivas, sociales y emocionales en la primera infancia. Sin embargo, los diagnósticos institucionales en contextos de vulnerabilidad socioeconómica revelan que una proporción significativa de niños del nivel inicial presenta déficits en la coordinación de movimientos amplios, el equilibrio, la lateralidad y la orientación espacial, situación que compromete su preparación para el nivel primario. Ante esta realidad, la presente investigación examina la eficacia de un programa de estrategias lúdicas para fortalecer la psicomotricidad gruesa en niños de 4 años en una institución educativa pública del distrito El Porvenir, en la región Trujillo, Perú, durante el año 2025. El programa, denominado “Yo aprendo jugando”, propone el juego estructurado como mediador pedagógico para estimular las dimensiones de equilibrio, lateralidad, coordinación y agilidad, y orientación espacial, en consonancia con la meta 4.2 del Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 4, que promueve el acceso a una educación inicial de calidad para todos los niños.
INTERSYSTEMIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LAW, SCIENCE, AND ECONOMICS: A LEGAL-CRIMINAL ANALYSIS OF SOIL DAMAGE
The research investigates legal and criminal protection against soil damage caused by the use of phosphorus as a nutrient in agricultural production. It is based on Niklas Luhmann's Theory of Autopoietic Social Systems and its contemporary reinterpretations by Gunther Teubner and Leonel Severo Rocha, exploring intersystemic communication between law, economics, and science in the context of a globalized and hypercomplex society. The study is justified by the ability of Luhmann's Systems Theory to analyze ecological risks, considering that social systems operate in a self-referential manner but remain cognitively open. Soil, recognized by the United Nations as essential for agriculture and food security, requires effective protection in light of environmental challenges and the goals of the 2030 Agenda. The research proposes a systemic reinterpretation of environmental protection, investigating how the legal system deals with the (im)probability of intersystemic communication to operationalize legal and criminal protection against soil contamination by phosphorus. Methodologically, it is a descriptive study based on bibliographic and documentary research, using data from Hemielevski’s study, which assesses the environmental risk of phosphate fertilization. The results confirm the hypothesis of structural coupling between the environmental and criminal legal subsystems to address soil contamination. It concludes that Article 54 of the Environmental Crimes Law (Law No. 9.605/98) provides the most appropriate protection against this degradation. The research recommends that the Rio Verde Environmental Secretariat develop a Normative Instruction to define the necessary documentation for environmental licensing, establish technical criteria for the application of phosphate fertilizers, and monitor soil quality in accordance with Hemielevski’s guidelines.
DA MEDIAÇÃO SOCIOCULTURAL À PEDAGOGIA INCLUSIVA: FUNDAMENTOS TEÓRICOS PARA A EDUCAÇÃO DE ESTUDANTES NEURODIVERGENTES A PARTIR DE LEV VYGOTSKY, LANI FLORIAN E MARIA TERESA MANTOAN
As discussões sobre inclusão escolar e neurodiversidade têm evidenciado a necessidade de superação de modelos pedagógicos centrados na normalização dos sujeitos e na homogeneização dos processos de aprendizagem. Nesse contexto, cresce a demanda por perspectivas educacionais capazes de reconhecer as diferenças cognitivas, sensoriais, comunicacionais e comportamentais como expressões legítimas da diversidade humana. Ao mesmo tempo, os desafios enfrentados pelas escolas diante da presença crescente de estudantes neurodivergentes revelam tensões entre políticas inclusivas, formação docente e práticas pedagógicas ainda marcadas por padrões excludentes e medicalizantes. Diante desse cenário, o presente estudo tem como objeto de análise os fundamentos teóricos da mediação sociocultural e da pedagogia inclusiva aplicados à educação de estudantes neurodivergentes, tomando como eixo central as contribuições de Lev Vygotsky, Lani Florian e Maria Teresa Mantoan. Estabelece-se, portanto, como pergunta de partida: de que maneira os fundamentos da mediação sociocultural em Vygotsky e os princípios da pedagogia inclusiva desenvolvidos por Lani Florian e Maria Teresa Mantoan podem contribuir para a construção de práticas educativas mais inclusivas, dialógicas e sensíveis às especificidades dos estudantes neurodivergentes? Teoricamente, o estudo fundamenta-se nas contribuições da psicologia histórico-cultural de Vygotsky (1997; 2004; 2012; 2019; 2022), especialmente nos conceitos de mediação, interação social, linguagem e zona de desenvolvimento proximal, articulando-os às formulações de Lani Florian (2007; 2014) sobre pedagogia inclusiva e participação de todos os estudantes nos processos de aprendizagem, bem como às reflexões de Maria Teresa Mantoan (1994; 2003), acerca da educação inclusiva como ruptura com paradigmas segregacionistas e classificatórios. Soma-se a isso o diálogo com autores como Ainscow (1999), Apple (2000; 2019), Armstrong (2001; 2012), Booth e Ainscow (1998), Bruner (1990; 1996), Davis (1995), Freire (2011; 2013; 2015), Gardner (2011; 2020), Garland-Thomson (1997; 2009), Giroux (2025a; 2025b), Mitchell (2007), Nóvoa (1997; 2009), Rogoff (2003), Shakespeare (2013), entre outros. A pesquisa é qualitativa (Minayo, 2007), descritiva e bibliográfica (Gil, 2008) e com o viés analítico compreensivo (Weber, 1949). Os achados da pesquisa evidenciaram que a mediação sociocultural e a pedagogia inclusiva oferecem bases teóricas consistentes para a construção de práticas educativas mais democráticas, participativas e sensíveis às singularidades dos estudantes neurodivergentes. O estudo demonstrou que processos de exclusão escolar frequentemente estão relacionados à permanência de currículos rígidos, práticas avaliativas padronizadas e racionalidades medicalizantes que limitam a participação e o pertencimento estudantil. Concluiu-se, ainda, que práticas pedagógicas fundamentadas na interação social, na flexibilização curricular, na escuta pedagógica e na valorização da diversidade humana ampliam significativamente as possibilidades de aprendizagem, desenvolvimento e inclusão escolar.

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE INTENTION TO ADOPT ISLAMIC FINANCING AMONG SMES IN JORDAN
This study examines the factors influencing the intention of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Aqaba, Jordan, to adopt Islamic finance. SMEs are vital to Jordan’s economy, contributing significantly to GDP and employment, yet they face persistent challenges in accessing adequate financing. Using a quantitative approach, the research surveyed 53 SME owners in Aqaba via questionnaire to assess the relationship between their knowledge of Islamic banking, societal perceptions, and their intention to use Islamic financing. Findings reveal that SME owners possess adequate knowledge of Islamic financing and that this knowledge significantly correlates with their intention to adopt it. However, societal perception was found to have no significant influence on adoption intentions. The study concludes that Aqaba’s SMEs show a strong willingness to embrace Islamic finance, driven primarily by their understanding and financial literacy regarding Islamic banking principles. These results highlight the complexity of financing decisions and underscore the need for tailored strategies such as targeted financial education and awareness programs to promote the effective uptake of Islamic finance among Jordanian SMEs.
THE POSITION OF THE GOVERNOR IN THE INDONESIAN CONSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM ACCORDING TO THE 1945 CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA AND ITS DYNAMICS FROM TIME TO TIME
This study aims to identify the position of the Governor within Indonesia’s constitutional structure and its dynamics over time, The research uses a normative legal method with statutory, case, and historical approaches. The findings indicate that the Governor holds a dual position—as a regionally elected head of a province and as a representative of the central government—which creates tension due to differing sources of legitimacy and conflicting interests. Therefore, a reorganization of the Governor’s role is necessary, particularly in terms of coordinating, guiding, and supervising regencies/cities as a representative of the central government, and aligning such authority with the decentralized principles of the NKRI. The study recommends a review of existing regulations governing central and regional authority to avoid overlapping powers. It also encourages academics and the public to critically analyze the practical implementation of such relationships as a form of oversight and to help improve public service delivery.
STRUCTURAL LOGIC OF ULAMA TILE COMPOSITIONS IN OTTOMAN ARCHITECTURE: MODULARITY, SYMMETRY, AND REPETITION
This study investigates the structural logic underlying ulama tile compositions in architectural ceramic surfaces through the concepts of modularity, symmetry, and repetition. In the existing literature, such compositions are typically examined in terms of motif, color, and stylistic features. While these approaches provide valuable insights, the structural principles governing compositional and production logic remain insufficiently addressed. In response, this study develops a theoretical framework that approaches tile surfaces as rule-based systems. The research draws on a combined analysis of theoretical studies on pattern–structure relationships and selected examples from architectural tile surfaces. Within this framework, tile compositions are examined as modular systems, with particular emphasis on boundary relations between tile units, repetition schemes, and surface continuity. The concepts of symmetry and antisymmetry are employed as key analytical tools in interpreting surface organization. The findings demonstrate that ulama compositions function as modular structures governed by specific rules. This perspective allows architectural tile surfaces to be understood not merely as decorative fields, but as systematic and analyzable organizations. The study contributes to ongoing theoretical discussions in ceramic art and offers a new framework for interpreting traditional pattern systems.
AVALIAÇÃO DO RISCO DE FAUNA NO AEROPORTO INTERNACIONAL DO RIO DE JANEIRO
Colisões entre aeronaves e fauna podem ocasionar elevados prejuízos econômicos e, em casos extremos, perdas humanas. Por essa razão, investigar essa temática é relevante como base para a formulação de ações de prevenção e mitigação de riscos. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo examinar os principais aspectos associados às colisões registradas entre aeronaves e fauna no Aeroporto Internacional do Rio de Janeiro no período de 2011 a 2019. Para tanto, empregaram-se técnicas estatísticas para avaliar a relação entre os registros de colisões e o movimento de aeronaves, as partes da aeronave mais atingidas, o tipo de aviação envolvido, os danos ocasionados, a fase do voo e o intervalo do dia com maior frequência de ocorrências. Como resultado, constatou-se que 2019 apresentou a maior razão colisões-movimentos na série temporal analisada. Ademais, verificou-se que, entre 2011 e 2019, a maioria das colisões não acarretou efeitos no voo, atingiu o motor, envolveu a aviação regular, não resultou em danos, ocorreu na fase de decolagem e registrou-se durante o período diurno. Em função do predomínio de casos concentrados no interior e nas imediações do sítio aeroportuário, reforça-se a necessidade de ação coordenada entre os administradores do aeroporto em questão e os governos municipais vizinhos. Só por meio dessa cooperação será possível desenhar estratégias que ampliem o acesso aos serviços públicos de saneamento e de coleta de resíduos nas áreas periféricas ao aeródromo, contribuindo para a diminuição do risco de fauna.
PROXİMİTY INDEX VALUE FOR SUPPLİER SELECTİON USİNG COMPROMİSE WEİGHTİNG OF ANALYTİCAL HİERARCHY PROCESS (AHP) AND MEREC: A CASE STUDY IN INDONESIAN LEATHER INDUSTRY
This study addresses supplier selection challenges by proposing a model that uses the Proximity Index Value (PIV) using compromise criteria weighting of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Method Based on the Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC). Delphi is applied in the proposed model on criteria selection, accommodating all objective and subjective criteria. The model was then tested practically at a leather company in Indonesia. Our model effectively captures the dynamics of decision-making groups in supplier ranking, emphasizing the importance of criteria selection in making better decisions. Notably, the robustness of our method is demonstrated by its insensitivity to parameter changes, ensuring efficient results.
DHANI LANGUAGE USE DECLINES ACROSS CHAKWAL GENERATIONS
This study investigates the use of the Dhani language within the family domain and explores the intergenerational transmission processes among native Dhani speakers in the Chakwal district, revealing a concerning trend of language decline and highlighting the challenges in preserving this linguistic heritage. Data collection was through the use of a four-point Likert scale, with a purposive sample that covered three generations of Dhani native speakers (N=320). The findings show that Dhani use is mostly confined to the family domain, with the generations moving increasingly towards the use of Urdu and English. The low esteem attached to Dhani as well as the dominance of the national language in the official domain are contributing factors towards the decline, with the consequence that a diglossic situation emerges. The study calls for revitalization efforts, including community-educational programs, policy advocacy, and promotion of cultural pride, as essential steps towards the preservation of Dhani against social exclusion. Comparative research with other endangered languages, including Kensiu and Kashmiri, further underscores the issues in common, calling for concerted strategies towards the prevention of linguistic erosion and the preservation of cultural heritage. This study identifies the causes of Dhani language decline to help counter its endangerment.

SPATIAL MODELING OF URBAN GREEN SPACE IMPACTS ON HEAT ISLAND MITIGATION: INSIGHTS FROM TROPICAL HIGHLAND CITIES
Connectivity, patch density, and spatial patterns of green-blue spaces are critical for cooling efficiency, yet their performance is strongly modulated by local climate, urban form, and species selection. Despite the increasing recognition of urban heat islands (UHIs) as a pressing challenge in tropical highland cities, research efforts have been constrained by a lack of standardized, multi-scale, and policy-integrated approaches. This study employs spatial modeling approaches using multiview imagery to enhance UHI prediction and Local Climate Zone (LCZ) mapping accuracy. By integrating three-dimensional (3D) spatial models with LCZ frameworks and advanced machine learning techniques, the analysis provides a nuanced understanding of urban thermal dynamics in tropical highland contexts. The findings demonstrate that the spatial configuration and connectivity of both green and blue infrastructures are pivotal for cooling efficiency, while contextual factors such as local climate variations and urban morphology—including tree species selection and building density—play critical roles in modulating mitigation outcomes. However, methodological inconsistencies and limited attention to tropical highland contexts underscore the urgent need for comprehensive, scale-appropriate, and policy-relevant research to support climate-resilient urban development strategies in these regions.
GEO-TAGGED INSTAGRAM ANALYTICS FOR HERITAGE TOURISM AND SERVICES MARKETING: MODELING HOW PLACE-MAKING ATTRIBUTES SHAPE VISITOR IMPRESSIONS IN MALANG, INDONESIA
Purpose: This study aims to model how place-making attributes—specifically accessibility, comfort and impression, use and activity, and friendliness—shape visitor impressions of heritage urban parks in Malang, Indonesia, as expressed through geo-tagged Instagram content. The study bridges spatial design theory and digital tourism analytics, providing an empirical framework for understanding how physical and experiential qualities of urban heritage spaces influence digital perceptions and emotional responses. Methods: The research adopts a descriptive–evaluative design, integrating geo-tagged Instagram analytics with a path analysis framework. Seven historic urban parks in Malang—Alun-Alun Tugu, Alun-Alun Merdeka, Merbabu Park, Cerme Park, Slamet Park, Gayam Park, and Ijen Park—served as the analytical units. Data were obtained through systematic extraction and categorization of user-generated hashtags and location tags into four constructs representing place-making attributes. A series of path analyses were conducted to estimate the direct, indirect, and total effects among the constructs and to evaluate model fit across different park contexts. Results: The findings reveal that friendliness-related impressions are predominantly shaped by experiential attributes—comfort/impression and use/activity—rather than by accessibility. Accessibility exhibited limited or non-significant effects in most parks, except for minor direct relationships observed in Cerme Park, Slamet Park, and Ijen Park. Comfort/impression and use/activity consistently demonstrated significant positive effects on friendliness, particularly in Alun-Alun Tugu and Alun-Alun Merdeka. These results suggest that the perceived sociability and emotional warmth of heritage parks arise primarily from on-site experiences and active use patterns rather than physical access conditions. Implications: The study contributes to heritage tourism and services marketing research by operationalizing geo-tagged social media data as a diagnostic tool for measuring experiential place-making attributes. The results highlight the need for experience-led management strategies emphasizing comfort, activity diversity, and human-scale design cues that strengthen visitor attachment and digital visibility. Practically, urban heritage managers can employ Instagram analytics to identify which experiential levers most strongly influence visitor impressions, thereby guiding targeted interventions in heritage park design and promotion.
SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS LANDSCAPE PLANNING THROUGH TREE SPATIAL CONFIGURATION: EVIDENCE FROM OUTDOOR MICROCLIMATE AND THERMAL COMFORT STUDIES
Campus environments are intensively used outdoor spaces where thermal comfort has become an increasingly important concern, particularly under climate change and the growing intensity of urban heat island effects. Trees are widely recognized as key landscape elements for microclimate regulation; however, their cooling performance depends not only on their presence, but also on where they are located and how they are spatially arranged. This study systematically reviews the literature to examine how tree location and arrangement influence outdoor microclimatic conditions and human thermal comfort in campus environments. A Systematic Literature Review was conducted using the PRISMA framework, with articles retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. From an initial pool of 120 records, 25 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2015 and 2025 were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The reviewed evidence indicates that strategically positioned trees can reduce air temperature by approximately 2–4°C and lower Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) by 5–15°C. Clustered arrangements generally provide the strongest cooling effect through collective evapotranspiration, linear arrangements are particularly effective along pedestrian corridors, while grid arrangements offer a more even spatial distribution of thermal conditions. The findings also highlight a critical trade-off between dense shading and the maintenance of natural ventilation. Overall, tree location and spatial arrangement emerge as key determinants of outdoor microclimate quality and thermal comfort on campuses. Landscape design strategies that integrate shading, evapotranspiration, and airflow considerations are therefore essential for improving outdoor thermal environments in climate-responsive campus planning.
GENDER INEQUALITY AND HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION: A CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW OF INDONESIAN CONTEXTS AND TECHNOLOGICAL PRACTICES
Indonesia's fast pace of digitization has opened new paths for economic and social participation, yet outdated gender inequalities stymy equal opportunities to access and engage with technology. This paper is driven towards a critical investigation on the intersections of gender inequality and HCI practices in Indonesia, focusing on the impediments that women and marginalized gender groups face in digital literacy, technology adoption, and tech development participation. Drawing on a scoping review methodology and a critical literature review, this study systematically maps academic and institutional discourses on gender, technology and sociotechnical design in Indonesia. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journals, government reports, policy statements, media publications and international organizations including UNESCO and UN Women. Using thematic qualitative content analysis, this paper presented patterns and tensions which have been occurring in relation to digital exclusion, gender bias in HCI design, underrepresentation in STEM, and socio-cultural factors. The findings explain that inequities are perpetuated through structural constraints and culturally situated design practices and argue that inclusive, intersectional approaches in HCI are imperative. This review argues for user-centered and culturally responsive digital systems in the context of promoting greater digital inclusion in Indonesia, and advocates their development through interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers, designers, and policy makers as a way of advancing the field of gender-equitable HCI practice.

STUDENTS' NON-FICTION WRITING PERFORMANCE IN A MIXED-PROFICIENCY RURAL CLASSROOM
This study identifies students' perceptions of non-fiction writing prompts and examines their writing performance in the descriptive, narrative, and argumentative genres within a mixed-proficiency rural classroom. The qualitative study included 20 secondary ESL learners from distinct proficiency groups: 10 low, 6 intermediate, and 4 high. The data were obtained using qualitative techniques, including focus group discussions and writing samples assessment using the CEFR A2 rubric. Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis and Bowen’s document analysis were used to guide the data analyses. The results showed that students' perceptions and their writing performance differed in terms of proficiency. Lower-proficiency students had problems with vocabulary, idea development, grammatical accuracy, and the organization of ideas, and this impacted their ability to engage with writing tasks. Intermediate-proficiency learners showed some mastery of writing skills, but need assistance with coherence and clarity. In higher proficiency students, there was increased confidence, language control, and engagement in the various genres of writing, particularly in argumentative writing, which demanded higher-order thinking and organisation. The need for differentiated instruction in mixed-proficiency rural classrooms is emphasized, as is the need for pedagogical strategies that are targeted to support vocabulary development, linguistic accuracy, and genre-specific writing skills in rural ESL contexts.

DA PERMANÊNCIA AO DESLIGAMENTO: INFLUÊNCIAS DO SUPORTE ORGANIZACIONAL E DO CAPITAL PSICOLÓGICO NA INTENÇÃO DE ROTATIVIDADE DE ODONTÓLOGOS
O mercado de trabalho odontológico brasileiro é altamente competitivo, exigindo investimento contínuo em qualificação profissional. Entretanto, mesmo profissionais com desempenho acima da média tendem a manifestar intenção de rotatividade quando percebem condições organizacionais desfavoráveis. Diante da escassez de estudos na área, este estudo quantitativo investigou a influência da Percepção de Suporte Organizacional e do Capital Psicológico Positivo no Trabalho sobre a Intenção de Rotatividade Laboral de odontólogos. Participaram 154 profissionais do estado do Rio Grande do Norte. As escalas apresentaram adequada confiabilidade interna (alfa de Cronbach > 0,70). Os resultados indicaram que a percepção de suporte organizacional e o capital psicológico positivo impactam significativamente a intenção de rotatividade, sendo observadas correlações positivas entre suporte organizacional e capital psicológico, e correlações negativas entre essas variáveis e a intenção de rotatividade. A análise de variância evidenciou diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os níveis dos construtos, com maior intenção de rotatividade associada aos menores níveis de suporte organizacional e capital psicológico positivo. Conclui-se que o fortalecimento do suporte organizacional e do capital psicológico dos odontólogos pode contribuir para a redução da rotatividade e para a melhoria do desempenho organizacional.
OPTIMIZING PUBLIC PARKING SATISFACTION: THE INTERPLAY OF USER PREFERENCES AND DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS IN SHARJAH CITY
The global rise in population and automobile usage, particularly in rapidly developing nations like the UAE, has led to pronounced traffic challenges, with parking availability emerging as a critical concern due to escalating road traffic. Compounding these issues, the development of public parking infrastructure has not kept pace with demand, leading to significant urban traffic congestion and inefficiencies in parking management. As a result, this study critically examines the user preference dimension on parking satisfaction of Sharjah City Public Parking. The research uses a cross-sectional survey design, with the use of questionnaires to be administered to the target respondents. Thus, 450 questionnaires were distributed to the target respondents (owners and managers). The collected data were analysed using structural equation modeling via SmartPLS software. The outcomes of the analysis revealed that user preference dimension in terms of economic factor, social factor and logistics factor have significant effect on parking satisfaction of Sharjah City Public Parking. This, findings highlight that the introduction of demographical factor such as age, gender and marital status, are good predictive factor between user preference on parking satisfaction. By emphasizing convenience and efficiency while being mindful of economic conditions and the varied requirements of user segments, it is feasible to substantially improve the urban parking experience and, consequently, the quality of urban life. This study's findings highlighted the significance of user preferences in the satisfaction of parking facilities for car owners in Sharjah City and also offering industry practitioners and policymakers pragmatic insights for improving parking satisfaction and fostering a culture of environmental sustainability. This study finally serves as a significant reference for future research and industry applications.
TEACHER WORKLOAD'S EFFECT ON MALDIVIAN STUDENT SUCCESS
Teacher workload is a global concern, yet its impact in resource-constrained, small-island contexts like Shaviyani Atoll, Maldives, remains under-researched. This study examines the relationship between teacher workload, quality education, and student performance within this unique landscape. Adopting a quantitative, descriptive-correlational design, data were collected from 175 educators across 14 schools. The study utilized structured questionnaires and academic records, ensuring validity through Cronbach’s Alpha and internal consistency testing. Statistical analysis, including multiple linear regression and multicollinearity diagnostics, was performed via SPSS. Findings indicate a young, well-qualified cohort, with 78.9% holding a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. Regression results reveal a statistically significant relationship between variables. Contrary to purely negative assumptions, data shows a moderate positive relationship β = .339, p < .001) between workload and perceived quality, suggesting certain demands drive engagement up to a specific threshold. However, excessive administrative tasks and long hours remain primary burnout drivers. The study underscores the need for systemic reforms in the Maldives to balance professional demands with well-being. Optimizing workloads and reducing non-instructional burdens can sustain high teaching standards and enhance student achievement.

HYBRID IDENTITIES IN PAKISTAN'S ACADEMIC CODESWITCHING
The use of digital technology has drastically changed how people engage with one another, allowing for different types of people and languages to come together and changing their perspective of themselves and others. Language and interaction in Pakistan, incorporating the disparate linguistic spheres, has been demonstrated in the use of codeswitching, wherein the speaker fluent in Pashto and English uses the linguistic approach to strengthen their identity. This research aims to understand how in the university setting in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, lecturers and students through interactional ethnography in a globalized and local context, use codeswitching to form multiple selves in their identity. Data were ethnographically collected through participant observation and interviews, and the analysis employed a micro-macro integrated framework based on Bucholtz and Hall (2005). The outcomes as identity shift, demonstrate how CS enables identity switches by incorporating local Pashto culture aspiring for globalized opportunities stemmed from the context of Pakistan’s multilingual education. This research shows how societal changes affect identity formation, laying the groundwork for sociolinguistic research, education policies and practice to advance multilingual education aimed at fostering global citizens.
RELATİONSHİPS BETWEEN MARİTAL SATİSFACTİON, PARENTAL BURNOUT, AND MENTAL WELL-BEİNG İN THE CONTEXT OF REMOTE WORK
This study aims to examine the multidimensional effects of remote work—a model that has become permanent in the modern workplace due to digitalization and the impact of the pandemic—on employees’ family dynamics and individual psychological well-being. Within the scope of the study, the correlational relationships between the levels of "Marital Satisfaction," "Parental Burnout," and "Mental Well-being" among remote workers are examined. Based on data collected from 412 participants working from home across Turkey, it was observed that among remote workers, there is a positive correlation between marital satisfaction and well-being, and a negative relationship between parental burnout and both marital satisfaction and mental well-being. Specifically among married parents working from home, a negative relationship was found between marital satisfaction and parental burnout, a positive relationship between marital satisfaction and mental well-being, and a negative relationship between parental burnout and its subdimensions and levels of mental well-being. The findings reveal that, in particular, an increase in weekly remote work hours and intensified parenting responsibilities constitute a critical risk factor for employees’ mental health.

Future studies should examine recent legal changes to evaluate their effects on the lives of transgender individuals.
CRISE CLIMÁTICA, DEMOCRACIA E PERVERSÃO DO DIREITO NA GOVERNANÇA GLOBAL
Este artigo analisou a relação entre crise climática e regimes democráticos contemporâneos, com foco nos desafios jurídicos da governança transnacional e nos riscos de perversão das instituições formais. O objetivo consistiu em investigar como a emergência climática tensionou a democracia liberal e em que medida o Direito foi capaz de assegurar a proteção de direitos fundamentais em contextos de elevada complexidade socioambiental. A pesquisa adotou abordagem qualitativa, de natureza bibliográfica e documental, orientada pelo método dedutivo-dialético, com ênfase na teoria da perversão do direito. Os resultados indicaram que a gestão climática foi condicionada por limites estruturais das democracias, como o imediatismo eleitoral, o territorialismo decisório e a formação de zonas de autarquia institucional, nas quais processos regulatórios se tornaram imunes ao controle democrático. Evidenciou-se que a transnacionalização das políticas, embora necessária, não garante maior legitimidade. Concluiu-se que o enfrentamento da crise demanda a articulação entre eficácia técnica, cooperação transnacional e participação social, sob pena de comprometimento da proteção de direitos fundamentais.
SUSTAINABLE FEED RESOURCE UTILIZATION IN DRYLAND GOAT PRODUCTION: PROTEIN AND ENERGY RESPONSES OF KACANG GOATS FED COMPLETE FEED SILAGE FROM DIFFERENT FORAGE SOURCES SUPPLEMENTED WITH ZNSO₄ AND ZN–CU ISOLEUCINATE
The aim of the research was to optimize consumption and digestibility of nutrients as well as the utilization of protein and energy. This research was carried out to measure the effect of complete feed silage based on various types of forage, namely Kume grass (Sorghum pkumosum), white flower (Chromolena odorata), sorghum-Clitoria ternatea, and Odot grass (Penisetum purpureum cv Mott) with the addition of 20% concentrate containing ZnSO4 and Zn-Cu isoleucinate, based on the results of previous research. The research used Kacang goats, using an experimental method with a Latin Square Design consist of four treatments and four periods as replications. The treatments studied were T1: Kume grass silage without concentrate; T2, T3 and T4 are complete feed silages i.e. Chromolena odorata; sorghum-Clitoria ternatea and Odot grass with the addition of 20% concentrate contain 150 mg ZnSO4/kg/DM concentrate and 2% Zn-Cu isoleucinate/kg DM ration. The parameters measured were consumption and digestibility of organic matter, crude protein and energy, nitrogen retention, total plasma protein, metabolizable energy and blood glucose. The results showed that the treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on metabolized energy and blood glucose and was highest at T2, digested energy tended to increase (P<0.07), while the parameters for protein utilization in all treatments were relatively the same. It can be concluded that different type of forage influenced the highest increase in energy utilization in kacang goats that consumed complete feed silage based on Chromolena odorata with indicators of a significant increase in digestible energy, metabolized energy and blood glucose, while protein utilization in Kacang goats that consumed complete feed silage based on the four types of forage used relatively the same.
A INFLUÊNCIA DAS MARCAS NO COMPORTAMENTO DOS CONSUMIDORES: UM ESTUDO QUASE ETNOGRÁFICO
O presente estudo tem como objetivo aprofundar a discussão sobre conhecimentos acerca do valor simbólico das marcas e como essa simbologia influencia o comportamento dos consumidores. Buscou-se a partir de um estudo quase etnográfico demonstrar como o valor simbólico das marcas traz significado para o consumo e como o consumo influencia a interação social pela individuação, e socialização por intermédio da subjetividade do consumo. Foi verificado que a subjetividade do significado de se consumir um ou outro produto influencia e é influenciada pelo comportamento individual e coletivo. As marcas comunicam o pertencimento social e demarcam semelhanças e dessemelhanças entre indivíduos e grupos sociais, funcionam como recurso simbólico da formação do “eu” quando são usadas pelo consumidor nas interações sociais e somente são significadas quando seus signos são usados pelos consumidores em suas interações sociais.
ESTRATEGIA DIDÁCTICA INTERCULTURAL PARA LA MEJORA DE LA ENSEÑANZA DE LA COMPRENSIÓN LECTORA EN DOCENTES DE ZONAS RURALES MARAÑÓN

Se concluye que las estrategias didácticas interculturales mejoran significativamente la enseñanza de la comprensión lectora en contextos rurales.
A BIBLIOMETRIC ASSESSMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIGITAL GAMES INCLUDING REAL LOCATIONS AND TOURISM
This study examines the academic literature on the relationship between digital games representing real-world locations and tourism using a bibliometric approach. While previous research has largely focused on film- and television-induced tourism, studies on digital game–induced tourism have increased significantly in recent years. However, existing research tends to concentrate on specific themes such as travel intention and destination image, lacking a comprehensive evaluation of the field’s conceptual and methodological development. In this context, the aim of this study is to systematically analyze the current state of the literature by identifying its dominant themes, methodological tendencies, and research gaps. The study is based on publications indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, and the selected studies are analyzed in terms of publication trends, research methods, and thematic focus. The findings indicate that the literature is heavily concentrated on the impact of digital games on travel motivation, while process-oriented and theoretically grounded studies remain limited. The study contributes to the literature by providing a structured overview of this emerging research area and offering directions for future research.
SPATIAL SPILLOVER EFFECTS OF THE EXPANSION OF EAST KALIMANTAN PROVINCE
This study examines the spatial spillover effects of administrative expansion in East Kalimantan, focusing on interregional economic interactions among districts and cities in East Kalimantan and North Kalimantan. Using panel data from 2010 to 2023, this research applies a spatial econometric approach. Spatial dependence is examined through Global Moran’s I and Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA), while the Spatial Autoregressive Model (SAR) and Spatial Error Model (SEM) are used to identify interregional linkages. The findings show that most economic and socio-demographic variables exhibit no significant global spatial autocorrelation, indicating that regional economic performance remains heterogeneous and is not strongly shaped by geographical proximity. However, LISA results reveal localized and temporary spatial interactions, particularly in resource-based regions during commodity boom periods. Several areas also appear as spatial outliers, reflecting divergent development patterns. These results suggest that spatial spillovers exist but are limited, unstable, and context-dependent. The study concludes that administrative expansion does not automatically produce strong and evenly distributed spillover effects. Therefore, regional development policies should strengthen interregional connectivity, economic diversification, and coordinated planning to reduce disparities.
POLİCY MİX İN THE TRANSİTİON TO RENEWABLE ENERGY: ENERGY TAXES, FİNANCİAL DEVELOPMENT, AND GREEN INNOVATİON
This study examines the effects of green innovation, energy taxes, and financial development on renewable energy consumption in selected OECD countries. The analysis is based on a panel dataset covering the period 2002–2021 and consisting of nine countries with high levels of renewable energy consumption. In the study, second-generation panel data methods are employed, taking into account cross-sectional dependence and coefficient heterogeneity. In this context, cross-sectional dependence and homogeneity tests are first conducted, followed by the Fourier KPSS unit root test to examine the stationarity properties of the series. The existence of a long-run relationship is analyzed using the LM Bootstrap and the Westerlund and Edgerton (2008) panel cointegration tests. In the final stage, long-run coefficients are estimated using the Common Correlated Effects (CCE) and Dynamic Common Correlated Effects (DCCE) estimators. The findings reveal the existence of a long-run cointegration relationship among the variables. It is determined that the effect of green innovation on renewable energy consumption varies across countries, while financial development is significant only in certain countries. In contrast, energy taxes are found to have a negative impact on renewable energy consumption both across the panel and in some individual countries. This result indicates that the effectiveness of energy taxes and their policy design should be reconsidered. Overall, the findings suggest that renewable energy policies should be designed within a holistic framework that takes into account country-specific dynamics.
INCLUSÃO OU ILUSÃO? OS LIMITES DAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS NA GARANTIA DO DIREITO À EDUCAÇÃO
O presente artigo dedica-se à análise crítica dos limites que as políticas públicas educacionais brasileiras encontram na efetivação substantiva do direito à educação, problematizando a tensão constitutiva entre a retórica normativa da inclusão e a experiência concreta dos sujeitos escolares em situação de vulnerabilidade. Fundamentado em revisão analítica da literatura científica produzida entre 2021 e 2026, nas áreas de educação, políticas públicas e sociologia da educação, o estudo sustenta que a inclusão educacional no Brasil apresenta uma contradição estrutural entre a amplitude dos compromissos formalmente assumidos pelo Estado e a estreiteza dos recursos, das condições pedagógicas e dos arranjos institucionais disponibilizados para sua efetivação. A investigação examina as dimensões do financiamento público, da infraestrutura escolar, da formação docente, das desigualdades interseccionais e dos limites da gestão e da intersetorialidade, demonstrando que as barreiras à inclusão real não são acidentais, mas constituem expressões de escolhas políticas que historicamente privilegiaram a formalização normativa em detrimento da transformação das condições concretas de escolarização. Conclui-se que a superação da condição ilusória da inclusão educacional brasileira demanda transformações estruturais de amplo alcance, abrangendo financiamento adequado, formação docente comprometida com a diversidade, perspectivas interseccionais no planejamento das políticas e fortalecimento da participação dos sujeitos historicamente excluídos.
DIGITAL SCAFFOLDING FOR ANALYTICAL THINKING: DEVELOPING A SOCIAL RESEARCH ASSISTANT APPLICATION FOR HIGH SCHOOL SOCIAL STUDIES LEARNING
The development of analytical thinking skills remains a significant challenge in social studies education, particularly in fostering students' ability to conduct systematic, evidence-based social inquiry. Analytical thinking is widely recognized as a fundamental component of higher-order thinking skills and an essential outcome of inquiry-based learning. This study aims to develop and evaluate a web-based Social Research Assistant application to enhance students' analytical thinking by implementing digital scaffolding in senior high school social studies. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach encompassing several stages, including needs analysis, product design, product development, expert validation, limited field testing, and effectiveness evaluation. Data were collected using expert-validation instruments, practitioner assessment sheets, and analytical-thinking tests administered before and after the application's implementation. The findings indicate that the developed application satisfies pedagogical, technical, and practical feasibility standards. Moreover, the results demonstrate a significant improvement in students’ analytical thinking skills following the implementation of the application’s digital scaffolding features. The study highlights the important role of web-based digital scaffolding in guiding students through structured research processes, including problem identification, data analysis, and conclusion formulation. The findings further suggest that web-based instructional technologies can serve not only as content-delivery tools but also as effective cognitive support systems that facilitate the development of higher-order thinking. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on technology-enhanced social studies education by providing empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of digital scaffolding in promoting analytical thinking skills in secondary-level sociology learning.
EFFECT OF RISK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF MOBILE NETWORK OPERATORS IN THE NIGERIAN TELECOMMUNICATION INDUSTRY: THE MODERATING ROLE OF COMMUNICATION AND CONSULTATION
This study examined the effect of risk management practices on the cost-effectiveness of Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in the Nigerian telecommunication industry, with communication and consultation as a moderating variable. The study was anchored on the Enterprise Risk Management framework and adopted a descriptive survey research design. Data were collected from employees of selected MNOs in Nigeria, including MTN Nigeria Plc, Globacom Ltd, Airtel Nigeria, 9mobile, NATCOM Development & Investment Ltd., and Mafab Communications Limited. A structured four-point Likert scale questionnaire was used as the primary instrument for data collection. The study employed Structural Equation Model (SEM) using SmartPLS 4 to analyse the relationship among risk identification, risk assessment, risk evaluation, risk mitigation, risk monitoring, communication and consultation, and cost-effectiveness. The findings revealed that communication and consultation had a significant positive effect on cost-effectiveness, while risk identification also significantly improved cost-effectiveness. However, risk assessment, risk evaluation, risk monitoring, and risk mitigation had insignificant effects. The moderation result showed that communication and consultation significantly moderated the relationship between risk identification and cost-effectiveness. The study recommends timely communication, proactive risk identification, and stronger integration of risk practices into cost-control decisions.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPING A RECEPTIVE AND EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE LEARNING MODEL FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD USING A MULTIMEDIA-BASED BLOCK CENTER APPROACH
This study aims to describe the conceptual framework for developing an early childhood language learning model through a multimedia-based block center approach. This model was developed by integrating the strengths of the constructivist block center approach with the interactive potential of multimedia technology. This integration creates a learning environment that can stimulate children’s receptive and expressive language skills simultaneously, holistically, and integrally. The conceptual framework was developed by examining the need for a new model, analyzing existing research gaps, and establishing the theoretical foundation for the proposed model design. The authors employed the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to identify, evaluate, and interpret relevant research on language learning models within the multimedia-based block center approach. Using the SLR method, the literature was systematically reviewed according to a rigorous protocol at each stage of the process to address the research questions. The results of this study are expected to help Early Childhood Education (ECE) educators understand the theoretical justification for selecting the block center as a learning strategy, as well as recognize the strategic role of multimedia as a scaffolding tool that enriches learning experiences. As a solid conceptual foundation, this study presents the justification, theoretical basis, and initial design framework of an innovative approach to language stimulation. Thus, this study can serve as a reference for ECE practitioners to implement more effective, engaging, and relevant language learning in accordance with the developmental characteristics of children in the digital era.
AGRONEGÓCIO E FINANCEIRIZAÇÃO DA TERRA: EXPANSÃO DAS FRONTEIRAS AGRÍCOLAS, CONCENTRAÇÃO FUNDIÁRIA E INTENSIFICAÇÃO DOS CONFLITOS TERRITORIAIS NO CAMPO
Nas últimas décadas, o Brasil tem apresentado crescimento expressivo dos conflitos territoriais no campo, cenário diretamente relacionado à expansão do agronegócio e à financeirização da terra. Somente em 2024, foram registrados 2.185 conflitos no campo brasileiro, envolvendo mais de 1,1 milhão de pessoas e mais de 75 milhões de hectares, enquanto o Atlas dos Conflitos no Campo Brasileiro aponta mais de 14 mil registros de violência contra pessoas no campo entre 1985 e 2023. Nesse contexto, a valorização da terra como ativo financeiro, a internacionalização do mercado fundiário e a articulação entre capital financeiro, corporações agroexportadoras e políticas estatais têm ampliado a expansão das fronteiras agrícolas, a concentração fundiária e os conflitos envolvendo povos indígenas, comunidades tradicionais, camponeses e trabalhadores rurais. Diante desse cenário, o presente estudo tem como objeto de análise a relação entre agronegócio, financeirização da terra e intensificação dos conflitos territoriais no campo brasileiro. Assim, estabelece-se como pergunta de partida: de que maneira a financeirização da terra e a expansão do agronegócio contribuem para o aprofundamento da concentração fundiária e para a intensificação dos conflitos territoriais no campo? A pesquisa dialoga com estudos sobre questão agrária, financeirização da agricultura, concentração fundiária e violência no campo, utilizando como base central relatórios da Comissão Pastoral da Terra (CPT) e pesquisas sobre financeirização da terra no Brasil analisado a partir dos trabalhos de Aline Braz dos Santos et al. (2022), Araújo e Araújo Sobrinho (2026), Arrighi (2007; 2010), Assunção e Depieri (2022), Bernstein (2003; 2010), Borras Jr. et al. (2018), Clapp (2012; 2015), Clapp e Isakson (2018), Cogueto (2018), CPT (2024; 2025), Fernandes (2000; 2005), Harvey (2003; 2006; 2008; 2014; 2021), Kashi e Watts (2010), Kato e Leite (2020), Li (2007; 2014), Li e Semedi (2021), McMichael (2014), McMichael e Weber (2022), Moore (2015), Moyo (2008), Moyo e Yeros (2005), Oliveira (2003; 2007), Peet e Watts (2004), Polanyi (2001), Sassen (1998; 2008; 2014), Scott (1976; 1985; 1998), Shiva (2015; 2016), Santos (2001; 2002; 2006; 2025), Wallerstein (1983; 2011), Watts (1983), entre outros. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa (Minayo, 2007), bibliográfica, descritiva e documental (Gil, 2008), fundamentada na análise crítica-compreensiva (Weber, 1949) dos relatórios, dados estatísticos e produções acadêmicas. Os resultados mostram que a financeirização da terra intensificou a concentração fundiária e ampliou a transformação do território rural em ativo financeiro vinculado à expansão das commodities agrícolas e aos circuitos globais de acumulação de capital. A pesquisa identificou que a articulação entre agronegócio, capital financeiro e políticas estatais contribuiu para o crescimento dos conflitos territoriais, da violência no campo e da pressão sobre povos indígenas, comunidades tradicionais e agricultores familiares. Além disso, verificou-se que alternativas associadas à reforma agrária, à agroecologia, à soberania alimentar e à proteção dos bens comuns apresentam potencial relevante para redução das desigualdades fundiárias, fortalecimento territorial comunitário e construção de modelos agrários ambientalmente sustentáveis.
AN ANALYSIS OF REGULATORY POLICY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ISLAMIC BANKING AND WOMEN’S ACCESS TO CAPITAL IN NIGERIA AND OTHER SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN COUNTRIES
This paper thus examines the influence of Islamic banking regulations in determining women’s access to capital in Nigeria and five comparator Sub-Saharan African countries. Although Shariah-compliant finance resonates quite familiar with the socio-religious realities in these economies with Muslim women, the lack of consistency between the regulatory intent and actual capital access improvements has been inconsistent throughout the region. Using secondary data analysis, the research includes central bank documents, Global Findex 2021, EFinA 2023, World Bank 2024, IFSB and IsDB reports, Scopus and Web of Science articles (2018-2024), and grey literature from the IFC, CGAP, and UN Women. Thematic analysis and cross-country benchmarking organize the inquiry. Findings validate the conjecture that regulatory design has a meaningful influence on the access of capital by women, but not in a direct, guaranteed manner. Nigeria’s CBN framework is structurally sound but eroded by hard-binding collateral rules, geographic concentration, and the absence of gender disaggregated data. Kenya and Tanzania are showing that combining Islamic windows in inclusive regulatory systems will produce a better outcome for women. Sudan is a good example that shows Shariah compliance without gender-specific intervention is insufficient. Ghana and Uganda are done with regulatory ambiguity that stifles growth despite clear demand. The paper suggests three reforms: a Gender Responsive Islamic Banking Regulatory Standard, mandatory gender disaggregated reporting, and a Women’s Islamic Capital Access Fund as a practical agenda for reconciling the values of Islamic banking with women’s financial empowerment.
CRIMINAL LAW REFORM OF ASSET CONFISCATION SYSTEMS FOR PROCEEDS CORRUPTION AND MONEY LAUNDERING IN INDONESIA
Indonesia's criminal law system, which is still oriented towards criminalizing offenders (offender oriented), has not been able to optimally guarantee the recovery of state losses. The method used is a normative juridical approach with conceptual and comparative analysis. The results of the study show the need for a paradigm shift towards an asset-oriented approach through strengthening the mechanisms of non-conviction based asset forfeiture, value-based confiscation, and limited and balanced reverse proof, as well as the reformulation of procedural law through in rem justice and early confiscation. Criminal law reform is expected to increase the effectiveness of asset recovery while maintaining the principles of due process of law and human rights protection. Philosophically, this reform is based on substantive and restorative justice, juridically in line with the constitution and the UNCAC, and sociologically responds to public demands. Thus, an integrated and fair asset forfeiture system is the key to the effectiveness of eradicating corruption and strengthening public trust.
DO COLAPSO À INOVAÇÃO: COMO A GESTÃO DO SUS TEM SE REINVENTADO NO PÓS-PANDEMIA
A pandemia de Covid-19 expôs, de forma contundente, tanto as fragilidades quanto a resiliência do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), colocando em evidência sua capacidade de resposta em cenários de colapso sanitário e sua aptidão para se reinventar diante de crises de grande magnitude. O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar como a gestão do SUS tem se reorganizado no período pós-pandemia, identificando as inovações institucionais, gerenciais e tecnológicas que emergiram como respostas aos desafios impostos pelo contexto pandêmico e às demandas sanitárias dele decorrentes. A metodologia adotada é a revisão bibliográfica e documental, com base em relatórios do Ministério da Saúde, produções acadêmicas da saúde coletiva e análises de gestão em saúde pública, priorizando produções publicadas entre 2021 e 2026. Os achados indicam que, a despeito do colapso observado em serviços hospitalares e na cadeia de insumos durante os momentos mais críticos da pandemia, o sistema respondeu com iniciativas relevantes, tais como a ampliação da telessaúde, a reorganização dos fluxos de atenção, a intensificação das ações de vigilância epidemiológica e o desenvolvimento acelerado de estratégias de imunização em larga escala. No período pós-pandemia, observa-se um movimento de revisão das práticas de gestão, com ênfase na incorporação de tecnologias digitais, na valorização da inteligência epidemiológica e na necessidade de fortalecer a resiliência sistêmica frente a futuras emergências sanitárias. Persistem, contudo, desafios relacionados à recuperação da capacidade instalada, ao enfrentamento das sequelas da pandemia e à superação das desigualdades regionais que se aprofundaram nesse período. Conclui-se que o SUS pós-pandemia encontra-se em um momento singular de reconstrução e inovação, no qual as lições aprendidas devem orientar reformas estruturais capazes de torná-lo mais robusto, equânime e preparado para os desafios sanitários do século XXI.
INFLUENCE OF ICT ON YOUTH ECONOMIC PARTICIPATION IN NIGERIA: A GENDERED PERSPECTIVE
This study examines the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), proxied by internet penetration and mobile phone subscription, on youth employment in Nigeria using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. The results show that internet penetration significantly increases youth employment in the short run by 1.30% for total youth, 0.93% for males, and 1.63% for females, with a stronger effect among females. However, in the long run, internet penetration reduces youth employment by 0.89% (total), 0.67% (male), and 1.14% (female), indicating possible structural adjustments and skill mismatches. Mobile phone subscription has no statistically significant short-run effect but exhibits a significant negative long-run impact on youth employment of 2.27% (total), 1.74% (male), and 2.86% (female). The findings suggest that ICT generates immediate employment gains but may have adverse long-term effects without complementary skills and institutions. The study recommends targeted digital skills development, gender-inclusive ICT policies, and investment in productive digital infrastructure to sustain youth employment growth.
RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION IN NIGERIA: AN EXAMINATION OF JAMA’ATU NASRIL ISLAM IN NORTHWEST NIGERIA (1999–2025)
This study examined the role of Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) in conflict resolution in Northwest Nigeria from 1999 to 2025. The study was motivated by the increasing incidence of ethno-religious conflicts, banditry, communal violence, and insecurity in Northern Nigeria, alongside the growing involvement of religious organizations in peacebuilding processes. The study adopted a qualitative research design using interviews and documentary analysis as sources of data collection. Findings revealed that JNI plays significant roles in mediation, interfaith dialogue, humanitarian interventions, peace sensitization, reconciliation, and community mobilization in conflict-affected communities. The study further found that JNI utilizes dialogue, Sulhu mediation mechanisms, peace education, and collaboration with traditional rulers and security agencies in resolving disputes and promoting peaceful coexistence. However, challenges such as political interference, inadequate funding, and perceptions of religious bias constrain its effectiveness. The study concludes that religious organizations remain important non-state actors in peacebuilding and recommends stronger institutional support, interfaith collaboration, and inclusive community-based peacebuilding strategies in Nigeria.
MILITARY COUPS IN BURKINA FASO AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR REGIONAL SECURITY COOPERATION AND COUNTERTERRORISM IN WEST AFRICA (2019–2025)
This study examined the implications of military coups in Burkina Faso on regional security cooperation and counterterrorism in West Africa between 2019 and 2025. The study was motivated by the resurgence of unconstitutional changes of government and increasing insecurity within the Sahel region. Anchored on the Regional Security Complex Theory, the study adopted a qualitative research design using Key Informant Interviews and documentary analysis. Data were sourced from diplomats, security experts, academics, policy documents, ECOWAS reports, and journal articles, while thematic and content analysis techniques were employed for interpretation. The findings revealed that terrorism, weak democratic institutions, poverty, corruption, and public dissatisfaction significantly contributed to the resurgence of military coups in Burkina Faso. The study further found that the coups weakened ECOWAS security cooperation, disrupted intelligence sharing, fragmented counterterrorism operations, and intensified geopolitical competition involving external actors. The study recommends strengthened regional cooperation, democratic governance reforms, and coordinated counterterrorism strategies in West Africa.
IMPACT OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SUPERVISORY AGENCIES IN NIGERIA’S COMMUNICATIONS SECTOR: THE MODERATING ROLE OF USE BEHAVIOUR
This study examined the impact of digital technology adoption on the performance of supervisory agencies in Nigeria’s communications sector, with emphasis on the moderating role of use behaviour. The study adopted a quantitative cross-sectional survey design anchored on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and Self-Determination Theory. Data were analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The findings revealed that perceived credibility (β = 0.359, p < 0.01), performance expectancy (β = 0.232, p < 0.01), habit (β = 0.164, p < 0.01), and use behaviour (β = 0.139, p < 0.05) positively influenced service delivery, while effort expectancy negatively affected performance (β = -0.117, p < 0.05). The study concludes that digital technology adoption significantly improves service delivery. It recommends improved digital infrastructure, staff training, and institutional support for effective digital transformation.
FROM PHYSICAL VIOLENCE TO DIGITAL POLARIZATION: RECONSTRUCTING LEGAL RESPONSES TO HYBRID SOCIAL CONFLICTS IN POST-REFORM INDONESIA
Indonesia is entering a critical phase in its transition to a digitally integrated economy, yet its existing legal frameworks remain inadequate to address the structural The landscape of social conflict in post-reform Indonesia has undergone a fundamental shift, migrating from localized physical violence to systemic digital polarization. While the state has established various legal frameworks to manage social unrest, these instruments predominantly address conventional physical manifestations, often failing to mitigate the complexities of "hybrid social conflicts." This study identifies a significant legal lacuna: current regulations, such as the Law on Social Conflict Management and the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law, operate in silos. They focus either on physical security or individual cyber-crimes, neglecting the symbiotic relationship where digital narratives fuel physical escalation and vice-versa, leading to a fragmented and often repressive state response. Method using a socio-legal approach and normative legal analysis, this research examines recent case studies of hybrid conflicts in Indonesia. It evaluates the efficacy of existing legal mechanisms through the lens of restorative justice and democratic resilience. The findings reveal that the current punitive-centric legal response inadvertently exacerbates polarization by criminalizing dissent rather than addressing the root causes of digital-physical hybridity. Therefore, this study proposes a "Reconstructed Legal Response" framework that integrates digital literacy mandates, multi-stakeholder mediation platforms, and a revised hierarchy of social conflict intervention that prioritizes de-escalation over incarceration. This research contributes to the global discourse on the "Global South’s" legal adaptation to digital disruption. It argues for a transition from a reactive-punitive paradigm to a proactive-integrative legal framework to safeguard social cohesion in the age of digital volatility.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar a influência da inteligência emocional e espiritual percebida nos líderes sobre o desempenho das equipes, considerando o job crafting (JC) como mecanismo explicativo desse processo. Partiu-se do pressuposto de que a percepção de líderes emocionalmente e espiritualmente inteligentes favorece maior autonomia, engajamento e reorganização proativa das tarefas pelos trabalhadores. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa realizada com profissionais hospitalares de dois países de língua portuguesa: Brasil e Portugal. Foram utilizadas a Job Crafting Questionnaire (JCQ) e versões adaptadas das escalas IESLíder (inteligência espiritual do líder) e IELíder (inteligência emocional do líder), avaliadas a partir da percepção dos liderados. Os resultados evidenciaram adequados índices de consistência interna das medidas e sustentaram o modelo teórico proposto, indicando associações significativas entre as inteligências emocional e espiritual da liderança e o comportamento de job crafting das equipes. Os achados sugerem que líderes percebidos como emocionalmente e espiritualmente inteligentes contribuem para comportamentos mais proativos e produtivos no ambiente de trabalho. Como contribuição original, o estudo apresenta a adaptação inédita de instrumentos para mensuração da inteligência emocional e espiritual da liderança sob a perspectiva dos colaboradores.
POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS EDUCACIONAIS E INCLUSÃO: CAMINHOS PARA A DEMOCRATIZAÇÃO DO ACESSO E PERMANÊNCIA ESCOLAR
A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as políticas públicas educacionais voltadas à inclusão escolar, com ênfase na democratização do acesso e da permanência no sistema educacional brasileiro. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, conduzida segundo a estratégia PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) e orientada pelas diretrizes do protocolo PRISMA, assegurando rigor metodológico na identificação, triagem, elegibilidade e inclusão dos estudos. As buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados SciELO, Scopus, DOAJ e Google Acadêmico, utilizando descritores controlados e não controlados relacionados a “políticas públicas educacionais”, “inclusão escolar”, “democratização da educação”, “acesso escolar” e “permanência escolar”, combinados por meio dos operadores booleanos AND e OR. Foram incluídos artigos publicados entre 2020 e 2024, em língua portuguesa, de origem brasileira, disponíveis em texto completo e de acesso gratuito. A amostra final foi composta por n = 5 estudos. Os resultados foram sistematizados por análise temática, evidenciando a predominância das dimensões “inclusão escolar e democratização do acesso” (n = 5; i = 1,0) e “equidade social e diversidade” (n = 5; i = 1,0), seguidas por “permanência escolar e evasão” (n = 4; i = 0,8), “formação docente para inclusão” (n = 4; i = 0,8), “desigualdades socioeconômicas” (n = 4; i = 0,8), “infraestrutura e acessibilidade escolar” (n = 3; i = 0,6) e “gestão escolar e participação social” (n = 3; i = 0,6). Conclui-se que, embora haja convergência teórica entre os estudos quanto à centralidade da inclusão nas políticas educacionais, persistem desafios estruturais e institucionais relevantes, especialmente no que se refere à efetivação da permanência escolar, à superação das desigualdades sociais, à qualificação docente e à melhoria das condições de infraestrutura, o que reforça a necessidade de fortalecimento e continuidade das políticas públicas educacionais inclusivas.

INFLUENCE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) DIFFUSION ON FINANCIAL SECTOR PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM NONLINEAR ARDL MODELS
This study examined the influence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) diffusion on financial sector performance in Nigeria using linear and nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL and NARDL) models from 1993 to 2025. ICT diffusion was measured using internet penetration, mobile phone subscription, and fixed telephone subscription, while financial sector GDP served as the dependent variable. The KPSS unit root and bounds cointegration tests confirmed mixed integration orders and long-run relationships among the variables. The linear ARDL results revealed that ICT reduced financial sector performance by 0.17% in the long run. However, the nonlinear ARDL findings showed that positive ICT shocks increased financial sector performance by 0.19%, while negative ICT shocks reduced performance by 2.58%, confirming asymmetric effects. The study concludes that ICT significantly influences financial sector performance in Nigeria. It recommends increased investment in digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, broadband expansion, and human capital development to strengthen sustainable digital financial transformation.
CREOLIZED TEXTS AS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPING COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE OF LANGUAGE STUDENTS
The present study examines the pedagogical potential of creolized texts as an effective tool for developing communicative competence among students of language-oriented training programs. In the context of digital transformation and the dominance of multimodal communication, students increasingly rely on visual and hybrid forms of information representation. This tendency requires the modernization of traditional approaches to foreign language teaching. In particular, representatives of generation Z, who grew up in a digitally and visually saturated environment, demonstrate a clear preference for multimodal and interactive forms of communication, which makes the use of creolized texts especially relevant in modern language education. The research is based on a comprehensive theoretical analysis of communicative competence and creolized texts as well as an empirical pedagogical experiment involving the integration of creolized texts into English language instruction at a higher education institution. The experiment involved 25 undergraduate linguistics students with an intermediate (B1) level of English proficiency. Diagnostic assessment conducted before and after the intervention revealed a stable positive dynamic in the development of linguistic, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic components of communicative competence. The purpose of this research is to theoretically and empirically substantiate the effectiveness of creolized texts in developing communicative competence among language students. The study aims to examine students’ age-related and psychological characteristics; analyze the concept, structure, and stages of communicative competence; explore the didactic potential of creolized texts; design targeted exercises; and compare the experimental results. The findings confirm that the systematic use of creolized texts enhances students’ motivation, supports deeper comprehension of meaning, improves coherence and expressiveness of written discourse, and contributes to more effective and sustainable language learning outcomes. The results of the study also open up prospects for further research, including the study of creolized texts in digital learning environments, their role in the development of intercultural communicative competence and their effectiveness in relation to various levels of language proficiency and educational contexts.
FRAUD NOTIFICATION DETECTOR TECHNOLOGY ON NEURAL NETWORK MODEL
This article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of modern threats and vulnerabilities associated with text fraud in the digital environment. Both traditional rule-based signature methods and modern machine learning approaches, including zero-shot classification and hybrid architectures, are considered. The practices of social engineering, phishing, and financial fraud are analyzed to identify key patterns and markers of attackers. A lightweight system has been developed that combines the speed of rules and the semantic depth of neural network models, which has improved the detection efficiency. An important element was the risk assessment methodology, which took into account the content of messages and the context, which reduced the number of false positives to 3%, while maintaining high accuracy. The system architecture is implemented with cascade processing, which ensures optimal use of computing resources. Of particular importance is the mechanism of adaptive redistribution of weights between the components of the system, which allows you to maintain the quality of work with limited resources. A fallback classifier has been implemented to guarantee fault tolerance, maintaining accuracy in the range of 85-90%. The study highlights the need for a multi-layered approach that combines signature detection and semantic analysis. Prospects for the development of the system include expanding the rules, integrating with reputation systems, training to adapt to new fraudulent tactics, as well as creating a distributed infrastructure. Continued research in this area is important to combat evolving threats and create effective commercial solutions to protect against text fraud.
THE RELEVANCE OF USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR EARLY-STAGE DETECTION OF PSYCHOEMOTIONAL DISORDERS IN STUDENTS
The learning process causes anxiety in students due to information overload and competition, increasing the risks of mental disorders. It is necessary to introduce technologies capable of promptly identifying disorders and providing personalized assistance. Special attention is paid to AI chatbots that analyze the psychoemotional state and provide anonymous support, which is necessary for students who have difficulties in communication. The study shows the effectiveness of AI methods in comparison with traditional ones. Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms for analyzing data on the psychoemotional state of students and to compare the results of automated diagnostics with the conclusions of expert psychologists. Materials and methods. The study used analytical methods, including data processing using machine learning algorithms, an empirical research method based on a survey of a significant number of respondents and used to obtain information about what served as a factor in the emergence of psychoemotional disorders in students, and a theoretical analysis of pedagogical and psychological literature was conducted. To collect data on the psychoemotional state of students, a survey of students was conducted, and based on it, the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence tools that provide anonymous interaction and regular monitoring of stress levels were identified. Results of the study. Comparison of AI and classical methods showed that algorithms detect disorders with accuracy close to expert level. Key factors: high academic load, social isolation, lack of support. Recommendations for the integration of AI have been developed, including chatbots for anonymous diagnosis and monitoring. Automated methods complement traditional ones, especially when resources are scarce, reducing stigmatization and increasing the accessibility of care. Discussion of the results. AI increases the accessibility and quality of psychological care in education. Chatbots promptly detect disorders, offer personalized support and anonymous real-time interaction, which is important for students who avoid communication; digital services are also financially more accessible than in-person consultations for the detection and correction of psychoemotional disorders.
SIMULATION MODEL OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
A review of modern methods and approaches to UAV research is provided. In the context of the digital transformation of the maintenance process, the advantages of using the AnyLogic multi-approach environment for solving operational reliability problems are substantiated. The integration of AnyLogic discrete-event components for describing maintenance processes and agent-based logic for representing the life cycle of each individual drone allows for highly accurate prediction of service infrastructure bottlenecks and minimization of aircraft system downtime under intensive operating conditions. This paper explores the use of the AnyLogic environment to optimize maintenance processes and improve the operational readiness of aircraft. A comprehensive simulation model of the maintenance system is proposed, combining a discrete-event approach and agent-based modeling. This paper explores the use of the AnyLogic environment to optimize maintenance processes and improve the combat readiness of aircraft. A comprehensive simulation model of the maintenance system is proposed, combining a discrete-event approach and agent-based modeling. Algorithms for dynamic resource management of repair units are implemented. The model allows for assessing UAV fleet availability factors based on preventive maintenance strategies and onboard equipment failure rates, and determining resource allocation (technical personnel, equipment, and parts) under both scheduled and predictive maintenance conditions. It can be used to select maintenance strategies, manage resources, forecast operational availability, and optimize maintenance schedules.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS WITHIN THE ECOSYSTEM OF SUSTAINABLE DIGITAL FINANCIAL ASSETS AS AN ELEMENT OF THE TRIPLE HELIX MODEL IN THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
Today, several major trends are shaping the world, most notably digitalization, sustainable development, and the ecosystem approach. Digitalization is spreading across nearly all areas of economic and social activity, fundamentally changing how economic actors interact. One of the key drivers of this shift is the emergence of new financial instruments, particularly digital financial assets. Sustainable development focuses on achieving environmental and social well-being. It is closely connected to the agro-industrial sector, which plays a critical role in food production. The ecosystem approach complements these trends by offering a more holistic way to understand and manage development. These three trends can be viewed within a single framework, i.e. the sustainable digital financial asset market. This ecosystem brings together various participants and elements, along with their internal and external relationships. It considers technical, financial, economic, and legal aspects as part of a unified system. Sustainable digital financial assets (green, social, and environmental and social well-being) represent digital rights in the form of monetary claims. They are issued, recorded, and traded exclusively through distributed ledger systems. The funds raised from these instruments must be used to support projects that contribute to sustainable development. The agro-industrial sector remains one of the core pillars of the economy, as it ensures food security and meets basic human needs. Integrating financial institutions from the sustainable digital financial asset ecosystem into a modified triple helix model can create additional synergies. In practice, this would expand access to financing for both large agricultural enterprises and smaller producers within the sector.
A ATUAÇÃO DO PSICÓLOGO JURÍDICO COM AUTORES DE DELITOS COM TRANSTORNOS MENTAIS EM MANAUS
Este estudo foi motivado pela relevância da atuação da Psicologia no contexto jurídico-forense, especialmente diante da complexidade que envolve indivíduos com transtornos mentais em conflito com a lei. A escolha do tema fundamenta-se na necessidade de compreender, de forma mais aprofundada, como se configuram as práticas profissionais no sistema prisional, considerando a lacuna entre os referenciais teóricos e a realidade institucional, particularmente no município de Manaus. Nesse sentido, o objetivo geral do estudo consistiu em analisar as práticas de intervenção do psicólogo forense junto a essa população, evidenciando desafios, estratégias e implicações éticas da atuação profissional. Do ponto de vista metodológico, trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo, de natureza qualitativa, com caráter descritivo-exploratório, desenvolvida por meio de questionário e entrevistas semiestruturadas com psicólogos atuantes no sistema prisional. Os dados coletados foram organizados e analisados por meio do método análise de conteúdo, permitindo a interpretação dos significados presentes nos discursos dos participantes e a compreensão das práticas no contexto investigado, bem como a identificação de padrões e recorrências discursivas relevantes. Os resultados evidenciam uma organização institucional estruturada, com divisão de setores e práticas diferenciadas conforme o perfil dos internos, especialmente quanto ao grau de comprometimento psíquico. Observa-se a coexistência de diferentes modalidades de atuação psicológica, incluindo avaliação, acompanhamento e intervenções voltadas à ressocialização. Destaca-se, ainda, o papel fundamental do psicólogo no manejo das demandas clínicas e institucionais, contribuindo para a promoção do cuidado, da dignidade e da reinserção social no contexto prisional, além do fortalecimento das práticas interdisciplinares no sistema.
REVISITANDO O DEBATE: LICITAÇÕES PÚBLICAS SUSTENTÁVEIS NO CONTEXTO DO DIREITO BRASILEIRO E COMPARADO CONTEMPORÂNEO
O presente artigo examina as licitações públicas sustentáveis no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro e em perspectiva de direito comparado. A temática central articula o poder de compra do Estado como instrumento de política pública orientado à promoção do desenvolvimento sustentável em suas dimensões ambiental, social e econômica. Os objetivos compreendem: reconstruir a trajetória normativa brasileira desde a Lei nº 8.666/1993 até a Lei nº 14.133/2021 (Nova Lei de Licitações); analisar as três dimensões da sustentabilidade nas contratações; examinar experiências de direito comparado da União Europeia, Portugal, Alemanha e Canadá; e identificar desafios de implementação. A metodologia adota pesquisa bibliográfico-documental, com análise de legislação, doutrina nacional e estrangeira, jurisprudência do STF, STJ e TCU, e direito comparado, pelo método hipotético-dedutivo. Conclui-se que, apesar dos significativos avanços normativos da NLLCA, persistem lacunas entre a positivação formal dos critérios de sustentabilidade e sua efetiva implementação, decorrentes de déficits institucionais e capacitativos que exigem respostas organizacionais, tecnológicas e culturais para além das soluções estritamente jurídicas.
NONLINEAR BEHAVIOR OF NON-COHESIVE SUBGRADE MATERIALS
In the design of highway structures, it is important to take into account the behavior of soil and unbound subgrade layers. The model of nonlinear behavior of bulk materials, in this case sand, was used to describe the behavior of multilayer pavements, specifically the additional base layer. In this study, different variants of the extended Drucker-Prager model were considered to describe the static and dynamic behavior of the elements of a multilayer nonrigid roadway structure.
UNDERSTANDING ORGANISATIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING AND ITS INFLUENCE ON FIRM EFFECTIVENESS
Organisational development plays a crucial role in enhancing overall organisational effectiveness, yet many organisations face challenges in effectively implementing development initiatives. This study investigated the impact of organisational capacity building on organisational effectiveness, with particular emphasis on indicators such as the incremental change management process. A descriptive survey research design was employed to systematically capture existing conditions without manipulating variables. The study population consisted of 420 employees. Structured questionnaires were used to gather data, which were then verified by professionals and put through the test-retest technique to determine reliability. The results showed coefficients ranging from 0.723 to 0.835. While the data was presented using descriptive statistics, such as frequency tables and percentages, the hypotheses were tested using basic regression analysis. The results showed that managing changes gradually improves organisational effectiveness. The study concludes that organisational development initiatives positively influence overall organisational effectiveness, and investing in employee development, structured change management, and team-building strategies is essential for sustained performance improvement. The study recommends that organisations invest in employee development, structured change management initiatives, performance management systems, and team-building programs to strengthen skills, competencies, and overall organisational effectiveness.
DIGITAL VULNERABILITY AND THE ABSENT STATE: THE POLITICS OF DATA PRIVACY IN SOMALIA'S UNREGULATED DIGITAL ECONOMY
Somalia’s rapidly expanding digital economy driven by telecommunications, mobile money (notably EVC Plus, Zaad, and e-Dahab), and online platforms has outpaced institutional development, creating heightened exposure to privacy violations, surveillance, and data misuse in a context of weak state capacity since 1991. This study examined how regulatory absence produces digital vulnerability, how the politics of depoliticized data privacy shifts governance to private providers, and how these dynamics affect citizens’ rights and trust in digital systems. Guided by theories of state failure, governance in fragile states, political economy of technology, surveillance capitalism, and institutional theory, the research employed a quantitative descriptive–explanatory design. A simple random sample of 353 adult digital-service users from Mogadishu, Hargeisa, and Kismayo was surveyed via a structured Kobo Toolbox questionnaire; 328 valid responses (92.9%) were analyzed in SPSS 31 using reliability tests, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and multiple linear regression (p<0.05). Respondents reported high digital vulnerability (M=4.12/5), very high perceived state absence in digital governance (M=4.38/5), and strong perceptions of depoliticized privacy dominated by corporate discretion (M=4.05/5); scales showed strong internal consistency (overall α=0.901). Digital vulnerability correlated strongly with state absence (r=0.67) and politics of data privacy (r=0.71), while vulnerability was associated with reduced trust (r=-0.62). Regression results indicated that state absence and politics of data privacy explained 57% of variance in vulnerability (adjusted R²=0.57), with private-sector dominance the stronger predictor (β=0.49) relative to state absence (β=0.30). Findings show that Somalia’s digital insecurity is structural and governance-driven rather than technical, characterized by financial surveillance (DV2–DV5 r=0.59), lack of legal recourse, and coerced reliance on unregulated systems. Strengthening data protection law, enforcement institutions, accountability mechanisms, and citizen redress is therefore central to safeguarding rights and sustaining trust in Somalia’s digital economy.
TEACHING MORPHO-SYNTACTIC GRAMMAR ON E-WALLS THROUGH BRICOLAGE TECHNIQUE
Throughout the recent decades, there has been an increase on the use of technology for language teaching purposes. Thanks to this integration, language classrooms have become livelier than ever. The effects of technology snowballed into many language learning communities around the world. In the context of the present study, the aim is to introduce a class procedure to let learners study grammatical vocabulary, namely morpho-syntactic structures, with the help of bricolage technique in Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT). To achieve this aim, the study takes its strength from TBLT in order to create a sample classroom procedure. In this respect, bricolage technique is introduced with a pedagogy to provide fruitful lesson plans to be equipped with e-walls for the 21st century classes. According to the results of the qualitative and quantitative analyses, using bricolage technique might pave the way for an authentic technique of learning morpho-syntactic items if it is equipped with technological tools and AI conducted with a TBLT lesson procedure.
MULTIDIMENSIONAL CHALLENGES OF THE URBAN POOR IN ACHIEVING THE INDIVIDUAL ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
The problems caused by urban poverty are growing in severity in Malaysia as its cities expand. This study analyses the difficulties faced by the urban poor in attaining their own economic sustainability. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants, comprising seven urban poor community members and one community leader. The findings show three main challenges: an increasing cost of living, limited employment and job insecurity, and crime and social problems. Legislation, healthcare, and education have increased in cost, which has a direct impact on people’s available income. Furthermore, the informal sector reduces community income and mobility, and the social issues of drug abuse and theft increase crime at the community level. The challenges show the complexity and interwoven problems of urban poverty and the individual’s economic self-sufficiency. The study adds to the existing literature by documenting the empirical findings from the context of urban poverty in Malaysia and adds to the list of advocacies by international organisations, such as the United Nations, on the need for integrated policy redesign for urban poverty in conjunction with the Sustainable Development Goals: Impacting Income, Sustaining Assistance and Services, and Urban Development.
EL PERFIL DOCENTE EN EDUCACIÓN INICIAL COMO CONSTRUCCIÓN DISCURSIVA: UNA REVISIÓN SISTEMÁTICA CON ANÁLISIS BIBLIOMÉTRICO
El perfil docente en educación inicial constituye un campo de estudio estratégico para comprender la calidad de la práctica pedagógica, la identidad profesional, la formación ética y la proyección de la docencia en la primera infancia. Este artículo presenta una revisión sistemática con análisis bibliométrico descriptivo, utilizando PRISMA 2020 exclusivamente como guía de reporte y no como tipo de estudio. La búsqueda y organización del corpus se realizó en Scopus y dio lugar a 217 registros. Tras el cribado inicial, 126 estudios fueron preseleccionados para inclusión, 29 quedaron para revisión manual y 62 se excluyeron. La revisión manual permitió conformar un corpus integrado de 135 estudios incluidos, 80 excluidos finales y 2 pendientes de verificación a texto completo. Sobre este universo se aplicó un segundo filtro analítico: se excluyó la dimensión transversal educación inicial del balance comparativo y se construyó una muestra intensiva de 20 artículos distribuidos equitativamente entre cuatro variables principales perfil docente/identidad, competencias docentes, vocación docente y formación ética con cinco estudios por cada una. Los resultados muestran que el corpus ampliado sigue dominado por trabajos sobre competencias, pero el recorte balanceado mejora la comparación entre dimensiones y fortalece la interpretación del perfil docente integral.
O USO DE APETRECHO DE PESCA PREDATÓRIO EM RESERVAS EXTRATIVISTAS MARINHAS NO PARÁ: EXTENSÃO, CONFLITOS E DANOS
Este estudo analisa o uso de apetrechos de pesca proibidos, como o "fiapo", em Reservas Extrativistas Marinhas do nordeste paraense. O objetivo foi compreender a origem e os impactos socioambientais dessa prática na captura do caranguejo-uçá (Ucides cordatus). A metodologia utilizou pesquisa documental em arquivos do ICMBio e grupos focais com pescadores das RESEX Mocapajuba, São João da Ponta e Mãe Grande de Curuçá, empregando cartografia social para o mapeamento dos conflitos. Os resultados demonstram que o uso desse apetrecho predatório exerce pressão sobre 70 áreas de extração, desencadeando intensos conflitos territoriais entre comunidades e danos severos ao ecossistema de manguezal, com ressecamento do solo e mortalidade de fêmeas. Identificou-se a expansão da prática ilegal para a ilha do Marajó. A pesquisa culminou na elaboração coletiva de uma proposta de política pública entregue ao ICMBio, visando o ordenamento pesqueiro e a proteção dos maretórios. Conclui-se que a gestão integrada e o diálogo com as populações tradicionais são fundamentais para conter o avanço dessas práticas e garantir a sustentabilidade da cadeia produtiva na Amazônia costeira.
RESEARCH ON THE IMPACT OF CUSTOMER PRESSURE AND GREEN PERCEPTION ON GREEN INNOVATION: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN VIETNAM
This study aims to evaluate the impact of customer pressure and green perception on green innovation within logistics enterprises in Vietnam, through the mediating role of knowledge sharing. Data were collected from logistics companies operating in Vietnam using a questionnaire - based survey method. The research model was tested using Structural Equation Modeling. The results indicate that both customer pressure and green perception have a positive impact on knowledge sharing within the organization. Furthermore, knowledge sharing significantly influences green innovation. These findings imply that the combination of external market pressures and internal strategic perceptions can drive enterprises to implement green innovation through the internal mechanism of knowledge sharing. Based on these results, the study proposes managerial implications to help logistics firms enhance their green innovation capabilities towards sustainable development.
COMPLIANCE FISCAL VOLUNTÁRIO COMO FERRAMENTA DE PLANEJAMENTO TRIBUTÁRIO ESTATAL
O presente artigo tem por objetivo demonstrar de forma sistemática que a cooperação entre o Fisco e o contribuinte é uma ferramenta poderosa para o planejamento tributário estatal, uma vez que facilita o aumento da arrecadação ao mesmo tempo que reduz a inadimplência por parte do sujeito passivo. Consequentemente, este fato promove a consolidação de uma nova relação entre Estado e contribuinte pautada na confiança e na cooperação, que reduz de forma significativa de autos de infração, recursos administrativos fiscais, executivos fiscais e diversos outros problemas, além de facilitar a previsão da arrecadação da receita tributária, o que auxilia na precisão das leis de ordem financeira, como a Lei de Diretrizes Orçamentárias, Lei Orçamentária Anual e o Plano Plurianual, que são os principais instrumentos legais utilizados pelo Estado para a consecução de políticas públicas. A metodologia utilizada é a qualitativa, com uma abordagem teórica e exploratória, fundamentada em revisão bibliográfica.
LIBERDADE DE EXPRESSÃO: FUNDAMENTOS LEGAIS, FORMAÇÃO HISTÓRICA E DESAFIOS CONTEMPORÂNEOS
O presente artigo analisa a liberdade de expressão como direito humano e fundamental, considerando sua formação jurídica no plano internacional, sua positivação constitucional no Brasil, sua dimensão histórica e seus limites no Estado Democrático de Direito. A pesquisa parte de uma abordagem legal, com fundamento na Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, no Pacto Internacional sobre Direitos Civis e Políticos, na Convenção Americana sobre Direitos Humanos e na Constituição Federal de 1988. Em seguida, examina a liberdade de expressão como conquista histórica vinculada à resistência contra formas religiosas, políticas e científicas de censura, tomando o caso de Galileu Galilei como exemplo emblemático da tensão entre autoridade institucional, verdade oficial e liberdade de investigação. O estudo também aborda a contribuição do pensamento moderno para a defesa do debate público, com atenção à relação entre liberdade de expressão, pluralismo, democracia, imprensa, produção científica e participação cidadã. Por fim, discute os limites jurídicos da liberdade de expressão, especialmente diante da honra, da imagem, da intimidade, da igualdade, da dignidade da pessoa humana, do discurso de ódio, da desinformação e da responsabilidade das plataformas digitais. Conclui-se que a liberdade de expressão é pressuposto da democracia e da produção do conhecimento, mas não se confunde com licença para violar direitos fundamentais, destruir reputações, estimular violência ou enfraquecer a própria ordem democrática.
SHARED INNOVATION, CONTROL, AND DEPENDENCE IN THE GOVERNANCE OF RELATIONAL RISK: EVIDENCE FROM INTERNATIONAL SUBCONTRACTING IN TUNISIA
This study examines how shared innovation reconfigures the governance of relational risk in international subcontracting. Building on trust-control research and the supplier-innovation literature, it treats shared innovation not simply as an outcome of collaboration but as a governance contingency that changes how control, trust, and dependence are linked within a focal buyer-supplier relationship. The analysis draws on a 2023 single-wave survey of 284 Tunisian textile and apparel subcontractors, each reporting on one focal foreign buyer relationship, matched with archival firm information. The hypotheses are tested primarily through hierarchical regressions and corroborated with latent-variable structural equation modeling. Three findings stand out. Shared innovation strengthens the positive association between control and trust (H7), weakens the positive association between relational risk and subcontractor dependence (H8), and makes perceived buyer dependence more plausible when relational risk is salient (H9). By contrast, shared innovation does not significantly weaken the association between relational risk and control (H6), suggesting that innovation changes the function of control more than the need for control. The study clarifies when control becomes more trust-enabling and how collaborative innovation redistributes dependence within subcontracting dyads. For managers, the findings indicate that innovation-relevant supplier relationships require governance systems that combine coordination, visibility, and relational investment rather than relying on control alone.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT CONSOLIDATION METHODS UNDER INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING REGULATIONS
The concentration and internationalization of capital, together with the increasing interconnectedness of business entities, have created a growing need for the consolidation of financial statements. A significant portion of global capital is held within groups of related companies and this trend continues to intensify in modern economic systems. As business structures have become more complex, professional accounting regulations and standards have evolved in order to respond to the practical challenges faced by accountants, auditors and financial analysts. The development of international accounting standards has particularly contributed to improving the comparability, transparency and reliability of consolidated financial reporting across different jurisdictions. This paper analyzes the compliance of methods used for consolidating financial statements with international accounting regulations and examines their principal characteristics, advantages and limitations. Special attention is devoted to the relationship between consolidation methods and the degree of control or influence exercised within corporate groups. The paper also considers the extent to which specific consolidation methods correspond to the actual needs of national financial reporting frameworks and contemporary business practice.
DYNAMIC MODELLING AND OPTIMIZATION OF A REDUNDANT MANIPULATOR: APPLICATION TO SHEET METAL PLASMA CUTTING
Robotic manipulators are widely used in industrial automation, particularly in welding, machining, assembly, and thermal cutting applications. Plasma cutting requires accurate trajectory tracking, smooth dynamic behavior, and stable motion control to ensure cutting quality and process reliability. This work presents the kinematic and dynamic modelling of a planar three-degree-of-freedom redundant manipulator dedicated to sheet metal plasma cutting. The forward and inverse geometric models are established using the Denavit–Hartenberg formalism, while the differential kinematic model is derived from the Jacobian matrix. The inverse dynamic model is developed using the recursive Newton–Euler algorithm for efficient computation of joint torques and accelerations. An energy-based performance index is introduced to evaluate actuator effort along the cutting trajectory. The optimization procedure determines the optimal initial and final configurations minimizing the global torque criterion while ensuring smooth and stable motion. proposed optimization strategy improves trajectory smoothness, reduces mechanical stress, and enhances energy efficiency during the cutting process. The methodology is validated through a straight-line plasma cutting operation. Results show that the
TRAJECTORY PLANNING AND SIMULATION OF A 6-DOF ROBOTIC MANIPULATOR
This study presents the modelling, simulation, and validation of trajectory planning for a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) robotic manipulator operating in constrained industrial environments. Linear, circular, and helical trajectories were generated and analyzed in Cartesian and joint spaces using the Denavit–Hartenberg formulation and Paul’s analytical inverse kinematic method. To improve motion smoothness and reduce actuator stress, polynomial interpolation techniques were implemented and compared. Quintic interpolation reduced jerk peaks by approximately 68% compared with cubic interpolation while maintaining stable velocity and acceleration profiles. An obstacle-avoidance strategy based on a cylindrical obstacle was also introduced along the helical trajectory. Simulations performed using MATLAB and SolidWorks demonstrated smooth and continuous robot motion without singularities or abrupt deviations. Validation against reference robotic models showed excellent agreement with published results, with a root mean square error (RMSE) below 1.2×10−4 rad and an average computation time lower than 0.015 s per trajectory point. The proposed methodology provides accurate and collision-free trajectory planning suitable for advanced robotic applications such as welding, drilling, and automated assembly.
PRESCRIÇÃO NO CONTROLE EXTERNO: A URGÊNCIA DE UM PADRÃO NACIONAL PARA OS TRIBUNAIS DE CONTAS
O artigo examina a prescrição da pretensão de ressarcimento no âmbito dos Tribunais de Contas brasileiros e evidencia a ausência de um padrão nacional que assegure segurança jurídica e efetividade ao controle externo. Analisa-se o entendimento do Supremo Tribunal Federal no Tema 899 (RE 636.886), que reconheceu a prescritibilidade das ações de ressarcimento decorrentes de ilícitos civis e fixou o prazo quinquenal, alinhando-se à jurisprudência administrativa consolidada. Apesar dessa definição, as normas e práticas dos Tribunais de Contas permanecem heterogêneas, resultando em disparidades de tratamento e em um cenário de insegurança jurídica. O estudo compara os principais modelos adotados, distinguindo o arquivamento sem julgamento de mérito do julgamento com finalidade pedagógica, além de abordar exceções controversas e lacunas normativas que ampliam a falta de uniformidade. Sustenta-se que o arquivamento sem resolução de mérito deve constituir o padrão nacional, por ser mais compatível com a coerência do sistema processual, a eficiência institucional e a racionalidade administrativa. A pesquisa, de natureza bibliográfica e documental, conclui pela necessidade urgente de uniformização normativa para garantir isonomia, previsibilidade e maior confiança na atuação dos órgãos de controle externo.
SUCCESSES AND CHALLENGES IN TEACHING CODING AND ROBOTICS IN GRADE 7-9 (SENIOR PHASE) IN PILOT SCHOOLS: LIVED TEACHERS’ EXPERIENCES
The incorporation of Coding and Robotics (C&R) into the Grades 7–9 (Senior Phase) curriculum in South Africa aimed to equip learners with essential skills required to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, including computational thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration. Although successes in implementing and teaching C&R had been reported, the initiative continued to face substantial obstacles. This study explored South African Senior Phase teachers’ experiences in implementing and teaching the newly approved Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) in pilot schools. Using a qualitative case study framed within the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) theory, embedded in the interpretivist paradigm, the study employed interviews, document analysis, and observations to generate and collect data from purposively selected Senior Phase C&R teachers. The data were then thematically analysed. The findings illuminated successes (changes in teacher attitudes, increased teacher engagement, and parental support), as well as constraints (staff capacity, knowledge and understanding of C&R, infrastructure, and institutional and administrative barriers) and enablers [coaching, Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), unplugged-to-plugged learning sequences, and the ethical use of generative AI]. These findings offered actionable recommendations for the successful and equitable implementation and teaching of C&R.
INITIATION: A DEADLY GENDERED LICENCE TO UNFAIR PATRIARCHAL DIVIDENDS TO HIGH SCHOOL XHOSA YOUNG MEN
In the twenty-first century, unfair gender-biased practices that yield patriarchal dividends should have been eradicated in democratic societies worldwide. In South Africa, one of the most respected countries for its world-class Constitution, Xhosa young men continue to receive socially sanctioned preferential treatment over women, uninitiated peers, and non-conformist learners, especially in high schools in the Eastern Cape Province, where the Xhosa clan originates. This study explored the forms of gendered patriarchal dividends, their detrimental effects within high school settings, and possible strategies for mitigation. Framed by Connell’s (1995) Theory of Masculinities and situated within a constructivist paradigm, this qualitative study utilised individual and group interviews to generate data from purposively selected initiated Xhosa learners at a high school in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The findings indicate that initiated learners openly reject familiar forms of address from female and uninitiated peers, challenge authority, and prefer segregation from them within the school environment, thereby undermining SDG 05 (Gender Equality). Furthermore, initiated learners deliberately deviate from the prescribed school uniform by wearing specific colours and regalia associated with initiated men, coerce female learners into performing chores on their behalf, pressure uninitiated and non-conformist peers to undergo initiation, and engage in risky behaviours that reinforce patriarchal power structures. The persistence of these practices signals the need for significant societal reform. Efforts toward gender equality must begin with shifts in mindset, particularly among academics, before extending to educational institutions and, ultimately, to society at large.
AN ANALYSIS OF THE “CINDERELLA” FAIRY TALE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE CULTURE OF POVERTY: A CRITICAL EVALUATION FROM A SOCIAL POLICY PERSPECTIVE
This study aims to reveal the mechanisms of the cultural reproduction of poverty by analyzing the narrative of the classic fairy tale *Cinderella* within the framework of the culture of poverty approach. The culture of poverty approach argues that poverty is not merely a matter of economic deprivation; rather, it is reproduced across generations through individuals’ values, attitudes, and behavioral patterns. In this context, fairy tales are regarded as important tools for transmitting social norms and ideological structures. In this study, the Cinderella fairy tale is examined through the themes of passivity, fatalism, dependence on an external savior, and social mobility. The findings reveal that the fairy tale presents a narrative that glorifies external intervention over individual effort and renders structural inequalities invisible. This situation creates an ideological foundation that could contribute to the legitimization of aid-based approaches over rights-based approaches in the realm of social policy.
LEVEL OF SELF-EVALUATION OF STUDENTS IN EDUCATION PROGRAMS DURING PRE-SERVICE TEACHER EDUCATION
The process of preparing pre-service teachers at universities, who are training for their future profession but have not yet acquired full qualification and independence in pedagogical practice, has been widely studied in recent years with respect to various variables of their professional preparation. However, among students from European countries, there is a lack of sufficiently comprehensive comparative research focused on self-efficacy, or self-confidence, and on how students perceive their future effectiveness in pedagogical practice The research presented in this study was conducted on a sample of 198 Slovak university students and included 355 Polish students. The empirical part of the study examines the relationship between students’ self-evaluation and academic achievement in relation to their perceived self-efficacy and the assessment of their personal abilities. The research revealed significantly higher self-evaluation among university students of primary education in Poland. Part-time students evaluated themselves more positively than full-time students, while no statistically significant differences were found based on participation in field practice. The results highlight the importance of setting high expectations for future teachers and creating appropriate conditions to improve their pedagogical competencies and self-evaluation skills. Key findings: - Polish students rated themselves higher than Slovak students. - Students of primary education demonstrated higher self-efficacy than students of lower secondary education. - Higher years of study and field practice did not produce significant differences in self-evaluation among the examined students.
BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF ADVANCES AND GAPS IN RESEARCH ON ACOUPA WEAKFISH (Cynoscion acoupa)
The acoupa weakfish (Cynoscion acoupa) is a species of major socioeconomic importance to South America, particularly Brazil. However, scientific knowledge regarding this species remains limited, with information scattered and focused on specific regions. With the aim of organizing the available knowledge clearly and systematically, this study seeks to examine current knowledge on the species through a bibliometric analysis. The analysis was conducted in the Scopus database using the exact term “Cynoscion acoupa”. Data were processed using ScientoPy, VOSviewer, and Biblioshiny software. A total of 57 articles published between 1993 and 2025 were identified, showing a significant increase in publications since 2007. Scientific output is heavily concentrated in Brazil, which accounts for approximately 79% of the studies. Research primarily focuses on fisheries biology, ecology, and environmental contamination, whereas topics such as fisheries management and commercial fishing have received little attention in recent literature. These findings underscore the need to broaden the scope of research topics and strengthen scientific collaborations to inform effective management strategies and promote the sustainable use of the acoupa weakfish.
THE ROLE OF ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS IN SUSTAINABLE URBAN AREAS
Urbanisation has intensified energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions, making the transition to sustainable urban energy systems an urgent priority. However, the increasing penetration of renewable energy, such as solar and wind, introduces significant temporal mismatches between electricity generation and urban demand. Energy storage systems (ESSs) have then become key facilitators, enabling the matching of supply to demand, enhancing grid flexibility, and improving the reliability of renewable-dominated urban energy infrastructures. This paper provides a critical analysis of the role of ESSs in sustainable cities through the lens of the integrated urban energy systems approach. Based on a wide literature review from 2017 to 2026, we examine the major storage technologies and their suitability in a continuum of urban deployment. The review also explores the role of ESSs in positive energy districts, smart grids, and decentralised energy networks. We also question the main barriers to large-scale implementation, including technical constraints, financial factors, regulatory uncertainties, environmental concerns, and socio-spatial considerations. We found that no single storage technology can address the complexity of issues in cities with a single solution; instead, a hybridised, system-integrated approach to storage is essential to support resilient, low-carbon, and adaptable urban energy systems.

FROM INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE TO ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY: POISONOUS SPONTANEOUS FLORA OF SOUTHEASTERN ALGERIA
Poisonous spontaneous plants in South Algeria have long been used traditionally as medicinal remedies. This study examined the use of poisonous wild plants as traditional medicines in Biskra, highlighting their ecological diversity and environmental adaptations. Using a questionnaire survey containing 300 items was developed and distributed in the region. The survey shows that the majority of respondents (65%) are between 30 and 60 years old, with women (59%) being more involved than men (41%). Most live in the outskirts of Biskra (62%), university graduates (36%) are the most knowledgeable. Citrullus colocynthis, Ruta chalepensis, and Thapsia garganica were among the most commonly used plants in the region used to treat digestive (20%) and dermatological (20%) disorders. Leaves are most used (38%) administered orally (54%) with common preparations decoctions (33%) and powders (29%). Measured by handful (55%) by spoonful (25%) and by a pinch (20%). Digestive toxicity is most common (30%), followed by skin, nerve, and kidney effects (15%). Medicinal plants contain both beneficial and toxic compounds, making extracts promising yet risky. Proper identification, characterization, and quantification are essential for safe and effective use.
GOVERNING THE PERIPHERY: UNRAVELING THE NEXUS BETWEEN PUBLIC MANAGEMENT CAPACITY AND MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON – A SPATIAL AND MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS CENTERED ON EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES
This article analyzes the extent to which municipal public management capacity relates to municipal development in the Northern Region of Brazil, with an emphasis on the education dimension and the spatial distribution of institutional capacities in territories characterized by vast distances, socio-spatial inequalities, low population density, and high dependence on intergovernmental transfers. The study was refined using a quantitative, multivariate, and spatial strategy, integrating indicators of municipal management capacity with development indicators in the dimensions of education, health, and sanitation. The central contribution consists of shifting the analysis from a merely descriptive reading of the indices to an institutional and territorial interpretation of local state capacity, demonstrating that the formal presence of administrative instruments does not automatically translate into municipal development when there is weak coordination, low technical capacity, fiscal dependence, and persistent territorial asymmetries. The results indicate an overall ICGM at the alert level, a critical general IDM, and more significant spatial autocorrelation in the education dimension, suggesting that educational policies have greater potential for territorial diffusion when combined with local arrangements for planning, financing, information, and inter-institutional coordination. The article reinforces the need for place-based public policies, multilevel governance, and the strengthening of analytical, operational, and policy capacities in Amazonian municipalities.
A UTILIZAÇÃO DE WEAREABLES NA PREVENÇÃO E CONTROLE DE VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA MULHER
INTRODUÇÃO: A violência contra mulher, em especial aquela onde o perpetrador é um parceiro íntimo, está cada vez mais presente na sociedade, o que vem alertado a Organização mundial de Saúde OMS, em 2025 a OMS alertou que a violência contra mulheres (também denominada violência de gênero) em qualquer faixa etária tornou-se uma emergência Global. OBJETIVO: Descrever através de um artigo exploratório reflexivo o uso de Wearables na prevenção e controle da violência contra mulher. METODOLOGIA: O presente estudo tem uma característica exploratória reflexiva, que buscou investigar um tema pouco explorado que é o uso da IA na prevenção e controle da violência contra mulheres através de modelos de vestimenta os Wearables, optou-se por publicações dos últimos 6 anos, utilizadas 8 em um total de 25 identificados e analisados. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: A IA vem sendo cada vez mais utilizada na realização de avaliações de risco de violência, seja eles dentro de um cenário criminal, quanto psiquiátrico, no sentido de fornecer uma análise objetiva acerca da probabilidade de um indivíduo cometer um ato de violência no futuro, auxiliando em decisões, como medidas protetivas, rotas de fugas, locais de risco, sentenciamento e internação em casos de alterações cognitivas. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: Os aplicativos vestíveis podem ser um caminho para prevenir, controlar e rastrear, porém precisam ter um design que não chame atenção do perpetrador e de fácil uso, que precisa ser desenvolvido por especialista com auxílio de profissionais da área de saúde que atendem estas vítimas, bem como da segurança pública, sempre respeitando os aspectos éticos para que todos possam agir em consonância em busca do bem maior “a não violência de gênero”.
LEARNING COMMITMENT AND INNOVATION FOCUS AS PREDICTORS OF CONTINUING MANAGEMENT TRAINING
The current paper examines the role of learning commitment and innovation activity for firm-provided continuing management training. The output is based on a two-wave survey conducted in pre- and post-CoVid19 period – 2020 and 2024. Data for a total of 182 Bulgarian enterprises has been collected through standardized interviews with owners or managers. Following the institutional theory, the study estimates the effect of company size, innovation activity and commitment to learning. The estimation methods comprise binary logistic regressions and non-parametric testing. Stability of the relationships over time has also been assessed by including a year term. Empirical analyses indicate that involvement in innovations is the strongest and most significant predictor of management continuing training. Moreover, strategic focus on innovations as well as introduction of genuine, rather than imitative, innovations, exhibits a positive statistically significant effect on training incidences. Such a stable association between industry-wide innovations and management training exists regardless of firm size. Contrary to that, companies supplying products or services which are new or significantly improved for the company only but not for its rivals are less involved in continuing training. The study does not give conclusive evidence on the impact of organization commitment to learning on management training participation.
POLARIZAÇÃO DIGITAL E IDENTIDADE POLÍTICA NO BRASIL CONTEMPORÂNEO
Este artigo analisa a relação entre polarização digital e identidade política no Brasil contemporâneo, com base no Banco Midiapolis 2025. O estudo parte da premissa de que, em ambientes digitais politicamente engajados, a identidade política não se limita à preferência eleitoral, mas articula voto, autoidentificação ideológica, pertencimento comunicacional e fronteiras simbólicas entre campos adversários. A pesquisa adota abordagem quantitativa, descritiva e exploratória, baseada em survey com usuários inseridos em ecossistemas digitais associados ao lulismo e ao bolsonarismo. São examinadas variáveis relativas ao campo político, à posição ideológica declarada, ao voto em 2022 e a indicadores indiretos de coesão identitária. Os resultados indicam forte congruência entre pertencimento digital, voto e autoidentificação ideológica. Entre os lulistas, predominam posições de esquerda e centro-esquerda; entre os bolsonaristas, predominam posições de direita e centro-direita. A baixa presença do centro e a ausência de cruzamento ideológico entre os polos sugerem fronteiras políticas nítidas. O artigo conclui que a polarização digital brasileira deve ser compreendida como processo de estruturação identitária, no qual comportamento eleitoral, ideologia e sociabilidade online se reforçam mutuamente.
ENTRE A INTEGRIDADE E A SUSTENTABILIDADE: FUNDAMENTOS ARISTOTÉLICOS DO COMPLIANCE AMBIENTAL NA ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA BRASILEIRA
Este artigo examina o licenciamento ambiental no plano subnacional brasileiro, com foco na experiência de Minas Gerais, a partir da articulação entre compliance ambiental, ética pública e filosofia aristotélica. Em contextos de elevada complexidade técnica, assimetrias informacionais e incerteza científica, sustenta-se que a ausência de prudência na ação administrativa compromete a legitimidade estatal e a sustentabilidade. À luz do princípio da precaução e da ética das virtudes de Aristóteles, que compreende o agir ético como expressão da razão prática (phronesis) orientada ao bem comum, o licenciamento é analisado como espaço institucional sensível a riscos à integridade decisória. A pesquisa adota abordagem jurídico-institucional qualitativa, combinando análise normativa e doutrinária com o exame da Operação Rejeito (2025), voltada à apuração de crimes ambientais, corrupção e lavagem de dinheiro na obtenção de licenças para mineração em Minas Gerais. Defende-se que o compliance ambiental, orientado pela prudência, ultrapassa a mera conformidade normativa e se consolida como virtude institucional essencial à governança pública. Propõe-se, por fim, o fortalecimento do controle de integridade com a incorporação de análises técnicas externas independentes no fluxo decisório do Decreto Estadual nº 47.383/2018.

Nesse contexto, serão abordadas as questões referentes à interpretação normativa e à aplicação prática das normas de acessibilidade no transporte público por meio da hermenêutica sociológica. Assim, evidencia-se que a problemática do tema gira em torno do seguinte questionamento: como a hermenêutica sociológica pode ser aplicada para interpretar e implementar normas de acessibilidade no transporte público em cidades inteligentes, promovendo inclusão social efetiva? O estudo é relevante porque contribui para o avanço das políticas públicas inclusivas em um cenário de inovação tecnológica. O objetivo geral é investigar como essa abordagem interpretativa pode favorecer a inclusão social. Utiliza-se pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória e analítica, com análise documental e revisão bibliográfica. Conclui-se que a hermenêutica sociológica fornece uma base sólida para a interpretação normativa e para a implementação de políticas públicas inclusivas, promovendo avanços tecnológicos e urbanísticos alinhados à inclusão social, mesmo diante de barreiras estruturais, culturais e econômicas.
A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW OF THE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS OF YOXIC LEADERSHIP: A MECHANISM BY WHICH AUTHORITARIAN MANAGEMENT PRACTICES PROMOTE ORGANISATIONAL CYNICISM AND NEGATIVE ORGANISATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOUR (OCB)
This systematic literature review, guided by PRISMA standards, synthesizes 38 peer-reviewed studies (from an initial pool of 502 records) to examine the adverse effects of toxic leadership—characterised by abusive supervision, authoritarianism, narcissism, self-promotion, and unpredictability on organisational cynicism and organisational citizenship behaviours (OCB). Thematic analysis identified four primary themes: (1) toxic leadership is a strong predictor of organizational cynicism (found in 63% of studies; effect sizes r = 0.35–0.48), with emotional exhaustion and perceived injustice serving as mediators; (2) it significantly diminishes OCB (74% of studies; meta-analytic ρ = −0.28) and increases counterproductive work behaviours; (3) it negatively impacts employee well-being, notably causing a 2.3-fold increase in burnout and a distress correlation of ρ = 0.52, while also contributing to a 25–40% rise in turnover rates; (4) cynicism mediates approximately 45% of the relationship between toxic leadership and OCB. These findings hold across various sectors, including healthcare, corporate, tourism, education, and public organisations. To address this issue, recommendations include implementing zero-tolerance policies, utilizing 360-degree feedback, promoting ethical leadership training, and tying accountability measures to compensation.
TRANSCENDENCE-BASED PROTECTION OF CHILDREN IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW AFTER DIVERSION
Protection of children in conflict with the law is a constitutional mandate that demands a sustainable process, not only during the formal diversion phase but also throughout the post-diversion phase. This study aims to analyze the urgency of reconstructing the post-diversion protection model for children in conflict with the law, which has tended to have minimal state oversight and been entirely borne by the family. Using a constructivist paradigm and critical legal studies methods, this study explores the integration of the transcendental dimension as an instrument of inner supervision to prevent recidivism. The results show that the post-diversion phase is a crucial transition period in which spiritual values ​​such as repentance, remembrance of God (zikir), and parental role models (uswatun hasanah) serve as the foundation for psychological rehabilitation that fills the gap in positive legal instruments. This model transforms the diversion agreement from a mere administrative contract into a sacred moral bond that strengthens the child's integrity through a prophetic approach.
CHALLENGES FACED BY THE INDONESIAN OMBUDSMAN IN MONITORING ABUSE OF AUTHORITY IN POLICE INVESTIGATIONS
This study examines the challenges faced by external oversight bodies in overseeing maladministration during police investigations, a critical stage in the criminal justice process that directly impacts legal certainty and human rights. It analyzes the nature and forms of maladministration in investigative practices and evaluate the institutional, legal, and structural barriers that limit the effectiveness of external administrative oversight. Using empirical legal research with a sociological-legal approach, this study combines primary data and secondary data. The analysis employs qualitative descriptive and analytical methods to identify recurring patterns of administrative violations, institutional resistance, and gaps between normative authority and practical implementation. The novelty of this study lies in the practical operation of external oversight in the investigative phase of criminal proceedings, highlighting the systemic rather than individual dimensions of maladministration. Findings indicate that maladministration is deeply rooted in broad investigative discretion, weaknesses in the enforcement of oversight recommendations, and an organizational culture resistant to external accountability. This study emphasizes the need for clearer boundaries of authority, stronger follow-up mechanisms, and an integrated accountability framework to enhance oversight effectiveness. These findings contribute to the development of more accountable, transparent, and rights-oriented investigative practices in the criminal justice system.
THE INFLUENCE OF TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE ON KENGO KUMA'S INTERPRETATION OF WESTERN MODERNISM
In developing countries, the renewal of traditional buildings and the construction of new ones often face challenges rooted in the misconceptions of modernism. Based on this conceptual mess, the renewal of traditional architecture has not found its theoretical basis. Kengo Kuma, with his unique perspective from isolation, found that the source of conceptual confusion is that Western architecture has always existed as an unknown natural defect. He proposed the Anti-Object as a design criterion to solve this problem. Therefore, this article explained the formation process and the conceptual definition of Anti-Object by describing how traditional architecture inspired Kuma and his insights on how isolation runs through Western architecture. To elaborate on Kuma’s philosophy, this article conducts visual narrative analysis by using the content of Kengo Kuma's works as the data source for the storyline of narrative inquiry research. In conclusion, the Anti-Object restores our perception of the place and re-establishes the traditional connections. Following the path of Anti-Object, the priority of renewing traditional architecture is to express and understand its philosophy. Otherwise, the recognition will only be superficial and less comprehensive. However, the criteria for evaluating the issue of architectural isolation still need to be clearly defined.
TRANSFORMACIÓN DEL RAZONAMIENTO PROPORCIONAL EN GRADO NOVENO: CONSTRUCCIÓN DE UNA TEORÍA SUSTANTIVA EN CONTEXTOS STEM
En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación cualitativa con enfoque inductivo, cuyo objetivo fue caracterizar el pensamiento matemático de estudiantes de grado noveno al abordar situaciones de proporcionalidad y no proporcionalidad en contextos STEM. La investigación se llevó a cabo con 15 estudiantes de un colegio en Bogotá, Colombia, y tuvo una duración de dos meses, durante los cuales se implementaron seis actividades diseñadas con estrategias de resolución de problemas. El análisis se realizó utilizando la teoría fundamentada, lo que permitió construir una teoría emergente sobre la evolución del razonamiento proporcional. Los hallazgos muestran que el pensamiento matemático evolucionó a través de tres vías: de lo mecánico a lo reflexivo, de lo aditivo a lo multiplicativo y de lo superficial a lo estructural. Estas transiciones indican un cambio desde la aplicación mecánica hacia una comprensión más contextual, relacional y crítica de las magnitudes involucradas. La teoría emergente integra los diferentes momentos del proceso formativo y explica cómo las actividades funcionaron como un motor de transformación cognitiva. Finalmente, se concluye que el razonamiento proporcional no es lineal, sino progresivo y dependiente del contexto, lo que aporta una caracterización teórica situada del pensamiento matemático en educación secundaria.
MARCO INTEGRADO DE CIBERSEGURIDAD, INGENIERÍA SOCIAL Y EL COMPLIANCE PARA LA RESILIENCIA DIGITAL ORGANIZACIONAL EN AMÉRICA LATINA
La presente investigación se enmarca en el fortalecimiento de la resiliencia digital organizacional y tuvo como objetivo analizar cómo la integración de la ciberseguridad, la ingeniería social y el compliance, bajo el enfoque de Gobernanza, Riesgo y Cumplimiento (GRC), contribuye a la mitigación de riesgos y al fortalecimiento de la seguridad digital en organizaciones de América Latina. El estudio se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cualitativo, de tipo aplicada y con un diseño basado en revisión documental y análisis comparativo de casos nacionales e internacionales. Para la recolección y análisis de la información se emplearon fuentes académicas, normativas y estudios especializados relacionados con ciberseguridad, ingeniería social y cumplimento normativo. Asimismo, se analizaron practicas organizaciones orientadas a la prevención de ataques basados en manipulación psicológica, fraude digital e incumplimiento de regulaciones institucionales. Los resultados evidenciaron que la implementación articulada de políticas de cumplimiento normativo, programas de concientización y modelos de gobernanza fortalece la cultura de seguridad organizacional y reduce la exposición frente a amenazas de ingeniería social. Se concluye que la integración estratégica entre ciberseguridad, comportamiento humano y cumplimiento normativo mejora significativamente la resiliencia digital de las organizaciones en América Latina, constituyéndose como un modelo integral que favorece la sostenibilidad institucional, la gestión eficiente del riesgo y la confianza en los entornos digitales.
A HYBRID INTELLIGENCE FRAMEWORK FOR AI-ASSISTED QUESTIONNAIRE VALIDATION: INTEGRATING TEXT MINING AND LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS FOR CONSTRUCT VALIDITY
Every time new survey results are made available to researchers understanding grows — yet sorting through it all gets tougher. Though direct responses from individuals are valuable, many scholars skip them, relying on less accurate measures. A strategy is missing, one from raw feedback to smarter questionnaires. This study introduces something called the Hybrid Intelligence Framework — based on a variety of methods: word patterns, topic traces, concealed meanings behind words. Flaws hide in questions—confusing wording, steep difficulty—and this approach drags them into view. Based on how minds handle strain in their thinking and match messages in meaning, the idea takes on shape. Machines help, yes, but they never take full control; people remain central, guiding every insight along with the code. When researchers have a way to use machines for reading text, we gain social science clarity plus trust. Because this setup guides computer use, methods become clearer while remaining out in the open. When people fill out surveys, they begin to mold the tools that are supposed to capture their answers—making those tools more effective. Clarity increases when steps are made transparent, not hidden behind guesswork. Machines assist, but only if the process listens to real voices. Good research means building on what’s said, not just what’s assumed.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MEGAPROJECT FINANCIAL GOVERNANCE
Mega infrastructure programs implemented under national economic transformation strategies such as Saudi Vision 2030 require advanced financial risk monitoring mechanisms capable of supporting real-time decision-making across complex project environments. This study proposes an artificial intelligence–enabled financial risk monitoring framework designed to enhance early warning capability through integration of ERP-based financial indicators and predictive analytics models. The framework strengthens institutional governance, transparency, and fiscal sustainability in infrastructure investment programs.
AN EXPLORATORY REVIEW ON DATA PRIVACY IN HRM: REVIEW LESSONS FROM SOUTH AFRICA
Data privacy in human resource management (HRM) has become a critical governance concern in the digital era, as organisations increasingly collect and process large volumes of employee and applicant data through advanced technologies such as HR information systems, artificial intelligence, and workplace monitoring tools. This exploratory review examines the conceptual, legal, ethical, and practical aspects of data privacy in HRM, with a specific focus on South Africa and the implications of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). Drawing on 52 peer-reviewed sources published between 2020 and 2025, the study identifies six key themes, including data privacy theory, legal frameworks, employee data practices, recruitment challenges, workplace surveillance, and organisational governance. The findings reveal notable gaps between POPIA requirements and actual HR practices in both public and private sectors. Key issues include weak lawful processing practices, limited enforcement of employee data rights, tensions between surveillance and privacy, and uneven data governance maturity. The review concludes by offering practical recommendations to support HR professionals, legal experts, and policymakers in strengthening ethical, compliant, and effective data privacy practices within South African organisations.
MORPHOSYNTACTIC ANALYSIS OF URDU–ENGLISH CODE-SWITCHING OF TWEETER ACTIVISTS IN PAKISTAN
The paper explores code-switching and mixing at both levels of linguistics, Morphology and Syntax. These are frequently used terms by bilingual or multilingual during an everyday formal or informal conversation. In this paper, these terms are primarily studied qualitatively between Urdu and English languages. The current study also examines the types of code-mixing and switching such as inter-sentential and intra-sentential among the multilingual in their tweets. Meanwhile, it also highlights the morphosyntactic analysis of English and Urdu codes. The statistical data shows that Pakistani Twitter activists use noun and adjectival phrases more frequently when switching from one code to another. In the meanwhile, the lexicons which are used in their tweets belong to the word category of Nouns, Adjectives and Conjunctions at different levels. The result of the present study shows that the use of lexicons and the types of phrases vary from person to person when switching the codes.
FROM LOCKDOWNS TO BATTLEFRONTS: REDEFINING SAFE TRAVEL IN THE AGE OF CRISIS
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the current war between Russia and Ukraine in the attitudes of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding the choice of tourist destinations. The main questions raised in this paper are: do sociodemographic variables influence the respondents' attitude about the safest tourist destinations in the current COVID-19 situation, do sociodemographic variables influence the choice of tourist destinations in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the COVID-19 pandemic, whether sociodemographic variables influence the choice of tourist destinations during the past two years and whether there is a statistically significant connection in the attitude of respondents regarding which tourist destinations they consider safer both during the COVID-19 pandemic and during the current situation of the war between Ukraine and Russia? The paper used a quantitative research methodology in a form of an online survey. The convenience sample included 265 respondents. The research results show that there is a statistically significant correlation in the attitude of respondents regarding the tourist destinations they consider safer both during COVID-19 and during the current war situation in Ukraine, while the safest tourist destinations for respondents are: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and the rest of Europe.
PHONOLOGICAL RULES IN URDU COMPOUND WORDS
Phonetics and phonology are branches of linguistics that focus on the study of speech sounds and their patterns in language. Urdu is a major language spoken mainly in South Asia, with over 100 million speakers worldwide. Compound words play an essential role in the Urdu language, where two or more words combine to form a new word with its unique meaning. The study had been exploring the phonological rules that govern the formation of compound words in Urdu. Moreover, it discusses how diacritics affect pronunciation and provides evidence-based examples from different languages. Certain generative rules of auditory phonetics are justified with the help of the data that is collected from the speech of native Urdu speakers. The dominant role of diacritics has also been identified as the major reason for the multiple pronunciations among the speech of native Urdu speakers. This qualitative study has been dealing with the variation that comes within a single word or within the compound word due to any phonological action that takes place during the production of the speech of native Urdu speakers. The study focuses on the speaker's education, age and gender to find out the variation that occurs in any of the speech patterns. The rules of auditory generator phonology are identified by keenly observing the variations occurring in the speech of the speakers.
VULNERABILIDADE SOCIOAMBIENTAL E OCORRÊNCIA DE DOENÇAS TROPICAIS NEGLIGENCIADAS: UM ESTUDO DE CORRELAÇÃO ESPACIAL EM COMUNIDADES RIBEIRINHAS DE BARCARENA (PA)
O estudo investiga a correlação espacial entre a vulnerabilidade socioambiental e a ocorrência de Doenças Tropicais Negligenciadas em comunidades ribeirinhas do município de Barcarena, na Amazônia paraense. O objetivo foi analisar como indicadores de vulnerabilidade, como cobertura florestal, proximidade a corpos hídricos impactados e condições de saneamento, se associam à distribuição de leishmaniose e esquistossomose no território. A metodologia adotou desenho ecológico e de correlação espacial, com análise de dados secundários do SINAN, IBGE e CadÚnico. Foram construídos o Índice de Vulnerabilidade Socioambiental e superfícies de densidade de Kernel, além da identificação de clusters espaciais pelo Índice de Moran Local. Os resultados evidenciaram correlação positiva forte entre vulnerabilidade socioambiental e incidência de DTNs, com formação de clusters alto-alto nas comunidades de Vila do Conde, Murucupi, Itupanema e Caripi. Conclui-se que a persistência dessas doenças está associada à precariedade infraestrutural e à pressão industrial sobre os ecossistemas locais, demandando políticas públicas intersetoriais e territorializadas.
Mongolia presents a compelling case study for examining the relationship between national environmental law and the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite possessing a constitutionally enshrined right to a healthy and safe environment under Article 16(2) of its 1992 Constitution, and a progressively developed legislative framework — including the Environmental Protection Law (1995), the Green Development Policy (2014), and Vision 2050 — Mongolia confronts persistent structural gaps between normative environmental commitments and their practical realization. This article examines the extent to which Mongolia's environmental legal framework advances SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), employing comparative doctrinal legal analysis of international instruments, national legislation, and reports from UNECE, UNDP, and the World Bank. The findings reveal three critical deficiencies: enforcement fragmentation following the 2023 dissolution of the national inspectorate; systemic policy incoherence between mining-led development and environmental protection obligations; and inadequate institutional capacity for SDG monitoring and compliance. The article proposes a tiered normative reform framework designed to align Mongolia's environmental governance with its international sustainable development commitments.
ANALYSIS OF ADULT DIETARY HABITS AND NUTRITIONAL WELL-BEING IN UMUAHIA METROPOLIS: IMPLICATIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE, COMMUNITY HEALTH, EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT, AND COUNSELLING SERVICES
This study employed a cross-sectional survey design to investigate the Adult Dietary Habits and Nutritional Well-Being in Umuahia Metropolis, with its implications for Educational Practice, Community Health, Educational Management, and Counselling Services.. A multistage sampling technique was utilized, where the city was first divided into clusters based on the total number of wards. Out of 22 wards in Umuahia Metropolis, 9 wards (4 wards from Umuahia South and 5 wards from Umuahia North) were randomly selected using a table of random numbers. From these 9 wards, a total of 360 households were selected, with 40 households chosen from each ward using a systematic sampling technique. Data on dietary habits were collected using the World Health Organization's standard questionnaire on dietary assessment, which was adapted and validated for the study population. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 22.0, with descriptive statistics and inferential statistics used to analyze the data. The study revealed a higher proportion of females (54.0%) than males (46.0%), with most respondents (89.2%) being young and middle-aged adults (20-59 years). The key findings included, among others, 39.4% of respondents consumed home-prepared meals at work or market, with 44.2% doing so occasionally, 31.4% and 22.3% of respondents consumed snacks and sweetened beverages 3-7 times weekly, respectively, 94% of respondents skipped one or more meals per day, high consumption of oil-rich foods (96.8%) and spices/beverages (100%) was observed, while vegetable consumption was high (94.8%), and fruit consumption was relatively low (27.8%). Based on the findings, the study recommended among others that nutrition stakeholders create awareness and promote healthy food choices in Umuahia Metropolis, given the unhealthy dietary habits observed.
ENTRE A TRADIÇÃO E A ESCOLA: TRAJETÓRIA DA EDUCAÇÃO ESCOLAR INDÍGENA NO VALE DO JAVARI SOB A PERSPECTIVA MARUBO
Este artigo analisa a trajetória da educação escolar indígena no Vale do Javari, com foco na formação de professores da etnia Marubo, à luz das políticas públicas, experiências locais e desafios históricos enfrentados pelas comunidades. A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa e caráter exploratório, utilizou análise documental, entrevistas semiestruturadas com lideranças indígenas e observação etnográfica realizada pelo próprio pesquisador, pertencente à etnia Marubo. Os resultados indicam avanços importantes, como a formação de professores indígenas e a presença crescente da escolarização nas aldeias, mas também evidenciam obstáculos persistentes, como a ausência de políticas estruturadas de formação continuada, a não homologação dos Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos (PPPs) construídos pelos povos e a evasão de jovens em busca de melhores condições educacionais. Conclui-se que a consolidação de uma educação escolar indígena diferenciada, intercultural e bilíngue requer o fortalecimento da gestão territorializada, o reconhecimento efetivo dos saberes indígenas e o compromisso político das instituições públicas com os direitos educacionais dos povos originários.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENTS’ UNDERSTANDING OF PANCASILA VALUES AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AS CITIZENS IN THE DIGITAL ERA
This study aims to analyze the relationship between university students’ understanding of Pancasila values and their civic responsibility in the digital era. The research is grounded in the increasing intensity of digital engagement among students, which is not always accompanied by responsible behavior and awareness of national values. A quantitative approach was employed using a questionnaire administered to 100 university students, consisting of 14 items measuring understanding of Pancasila values and 13 items assessing digital civic responsibility. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 27.0 through reliability testing, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, analysis of variance (ANOVA), t-tests, and simple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate that both instruments demonstrated high reliability (α for Pancasila values = 0.942; α for Digital Responsibility = 0.912). Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between understanding of Pancasila values and digital responsibility (r=0.637; p < 0.001). Furthermore, linear regression analysis demonstrated that understanding of Pancasila values significantly predicts digital responsibility, explaining 41.2% of the variance (R² = 0.412). The ANOVA results indicated no significant differences in digital responsibility across categories of internet usage duration, while the gender-based t-test results were inconclusive due to unequal categories. These findings underscore the importance of integrating Pancasila values education with digital literacy programs in higher education as a strategic effort to foster responsible digital citizenship and strengthen national character in the digital sphere.

Este artigo apresenta uma revisão sistemática da literatura acerca da evolução da manutenção industrial, focando na transição de uma atividade operacional reativa para o paradigma contemporâneo da Gestão da Manutenção Centrada no Negócio. O estudo contextualiza essa trajetória através das quatro Revoluções Industriais, destacando como a Indústria 4.0 introduziu tecnologias disruptivas, como Big Data, Internet das Coisas (IoT), computação em nuvem e sistemas ciberfísicos, permitindo que a manutenção atinja sua quinta geração, centrada na gestão de ativos e no retorno sobre o investimento. Nesse cenário moderno, o setor deixa de ser visto meramente como um centro de custos para se tornar uma fonte estratégica de receita e competitividade global. O cerne do trabalho reside na proposta de um ecossistema integrado que harmoniza ferramentas de diferentes domínios para otimizar as rotinas de inspeção e garantir a disponibilidade dos equipamentos. No pilar da qualidade, utilizam-se o ciclo PDCA para a melhoria contínua e a Análise de Causa Raiz (RCA) para eliminar as origens fundamentais das falhas. O pilar analítico emprega a matriz SIRPORC para o mapeamento detalhado de processos e a matriz GUT para a priorização técnica de problemas com base na gravidade, urgência e tendência. Já o pilar da confiabilidade aplica a Manutenção Centrada na Confiabilidade (RCM) e o FMEA para mitigar riscos e assegurar o desempenho dos ativos. Além disso, o artigo enfatiza a integração vital com a ergonomia física, cognitiva e de processos, adaptando o ambiente laboral à capacidade humana para garantir segurança e eficiência. Complementarmente, o treinamento é abordado como o motor para o desenvolvimento de competências e mudanças de comportamento essenciais na era digital. Em conclusão, a gestão centrada no negócio alinha a excelência técnica aos resultados financeiros, promovendo alta produtividade e a sustentabilidade das organizações.
FUTURE PATHWAYS FOR FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS: ANALYZING THE NEXUS OF OBSTACLES AND INCENTIVES IN MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRY
Attracting foreign direct investment is of great importance for middle-income countries in terms of economic growth and global competitiveness. In this context, accurately analyzing the incentives and barriers that shape foreign investment decisions is of great importance for countries seeking to attract a larger share of global capital flows and achieve sustainable development goals. This study examines how foreign direct investment in middle-income countries is influenced by incentives and obstacles. Using firm-level data from the World Bank’s 2019 Global Investment Competitiveness Survey, it analyses foreign-invested firms across Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Thailand, Türkiye, and Vietnam. The study evaluates incentives such as tax exemptions, reduced corporate tax rates, cash grants, and infrastructure support, alongside obstacles like investment approval requirements, mandatory foreign partnerships, and local content rules. Findings from the Logit method reveal country-specific variations: cash grants positively impact FDI in India, Indonesia, and Türkiye, while some incentives negatively affect China. Obstacles generally have strong negative effects, especially in India, Mexico, and Vietnam. The study concludes that improving investment conditions requires country-specific policy mix balancing incentives with the removal of obstacles. A comprehensive policy framework is essential for sustainable FDI growth, considering each country’s unique economic and institutional context.
O presente artigo analisa o projeto Sentença Zeruze’eg haw (DIGNA) da 1ª Vara da Comarca de Grajaú/MA, que resultou na primeira sentença judicial traduzida integralmente para a língua indígena Guajajara (Ze'egete). O estudo utiliza como marco teórico a teoria do Direito Achado na Rua, buscando compreender como a tradução da sentença para língua materna de povos originários atua como um instrumento de emancipação e reconhecimento de sujeitos coletivos de direito. A análise debruça-se sobre o processo nº 0803019-40.2025.8.10.0037, uma ação de registro tardio de óbito da criança Anahi de Sousa Rodrigues Guajajara. Os objetivos principais deste artigo incluem: analisar o protagonismo indígena no sistema de justiça, o pluralismo jurídico e linguístico e a efetivação dos Direitos Humanos, alinhando à Convenção 169 da OIT e aos princípios constitucionais da dignidade humana e da igualdade. Conclui-se, portanto, que o projeto Zeruze’eg haw materializa o Direito Achado na Rua ao permitir que o direito não seja apenas uma imposição vertical do Estado, mas um processo dialógico que reconhece a identidade dos sujeitos coletivos, impactando diretamente centenas de pessoas e servindo de modelo replicável para a humanização do Judiciário brasileiro.

INTERFACES ENTRE INOVAÇÃO ABERTA E GOVERNANÇA MULTINÍVEL: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA
A literatura sobre Inovação Aberta evidencia que o processo de inovação depende cada vez mais da interação entre organizações, setores e diferentes atores. Em contextos marcados por elevada complexidade e interdependência, torna-se essencial compreender as estruturas que coordenam os fluxos de conhecimento para além das fronteiras organizacionais. Este estudo buscou analisar como a literatura sobre Inovação Aberta incorpora, de forma explícita ou implícita, mecanismos associados a modelos de governança, incluindo abordagens multinível, colaborativa, em rede, policêntrica e relacional. Do ponto de vista metodológico, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura nas bases Scopus e Web of Science. A estratégia de busca identificou inicialmente 86 registros, resultando em 61 documentos após a remoção de duplicatas. A amostra final, composta por 44 artigos científicos, foi analisada por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa baseada em análise temática. Os resultados indicam que a Inovação Aberta é sustentada por arranjos de governança multinível, baseados em confiança, reciprocidade e interdependência entre os atores. Mesmo quando não explicitada, a Governança Multinível atua como infraestrutura institucional que organiza, estabiliza e legitima essas interações entre diferentes níveis organizacionais e territoriais. Como contribuição teórica, o estudo evidencia a complementaridade entre os construtos analisados. A Inovação Aberta permite compreender a dinâmica dos fluxos de conhecimento, enquanto a Governança Multinível oferece o suporte institucional necessário para sustentar processos colaborativos em contextos caracterizados pela dispersão de autoridade.
BETWEEN GREEN MARKETING AND ENVIRONMENTAL FRAUD: GREENWASHING AS A VIOLATION OF DIFFUSE RIGHTS
This study examines greenwashing as a phenomenon that extends beyond the scope of misleading advertising, proposing its interpretation as a violation of diffuse rights within the framework of Environmental Law. Initially, it discusses the conceptual evolution of the term, highlighting its critical origins and its consolidation as a structural practice associated with the dissociation between actual environmental performance and corporate communication. The study demonstrates that greenwashing takes multiple forms, including omissions, vague claims, dubious certifications, and symbolic strategies, thus characterizing it as a multifaceted and multi-level phenomenon. From an economic perspective, it is interpreted as a manifestation of information asymmetry, generating market failures and distorting consumer and investment decisions. The legal analysis shows that such practices undermine diffuse rights, particularly the right to adequate environmental information and the protection of an ecologically balanced environment. Greenwashing produces collective harms, including informational damage, erosion of social trust, competitive distortions, and indirect environmental impacts. Furthermore, the article discusses structural factors that foster the phenomenon, such as corporate governance incentives and limitations of ESG metrics. Finally, it proposes an integrated analytical framework and argues for the need for a more robust regulatory response, grounded in transparency, standardization, and the integration of environmental law, corporate governance, and economic regulation.
ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT IN SOCIAL ENTERPRISE: CASE STUDY APPROACH
One of the main challenges of social enterprise (SE) is the inability to maintain performance in achieving its dual objectives: economic and social performance. Organizational Performance Management (OPM) is an essential tool for addressing the challenges. However, research related to this topic is limited. The study aims to investigate OPM practices, supporting factors, and their implications for achieving balanced dual performance in SE. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and document review, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that effective OPM in SE comprises five interrelated components: strategy formulation, planning, monitoring, evaluation, and reward. The effectiveness of these components is reinforced by organizational and individual behavior, as well as stakeholder participation and support. Overall, the study shows that an effective OPM system strengthened by internal behavioral alignment and stakeholder roles facilitates simultaneous, more balanced attainment of economic and social performance. The study contributes to the existing literature on organizational performance management, supporting factors, and their impact on performance. In addition, it provides insight for managing SE performance, designing organizational performance management, and managing supporting factors for achieving dual performance simultaneously and in balance.
NEUROINFLAMAÇÃO SISTÊMICA: O PAPEL DAS CITOCINAS ENDÓCRINAS NA DOR CRÔNICA ASSOCIADA A TRANSTORNOS PSIQUIÁTRICOS
A dor crônica e os transtornos psiquiátricos, particularmente o transtorno depressivo maior e os transtornos de ansiedade, apresentam elevada taxa de comorbidade e configuram importante desafio clínico e epidemiológico. Evidências contemporâneas indicam que essa associação ultrapassa fatores psicossociais, sendo sustentada por mecanismos biológicos compartilhados, com destaque para a neuroinflamação sistêmica mediada por citocinas pró-inflamatórias. Nesse contexto, o eixo imunoneuroendócrino emerge como modelo integrador capaz de explicar a interdependência entre hipersensibilidade nociceptiva e desregulação afetiva. Esta revisão teve como objetivo analisar criticamente as evidências acerca do papel das citocinas endócrinas na fisiopatologia da dor crônica associada a transtornos psiquiátricos, enfatizando mecanismos moleculares, alterações neuroplásticas e implicações clínicas. Realizou-se revisão narrativa da literatura a partir de buscas nas bases PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science e SciELO, incluindo estudos clínicos, experimentais, revisões sistemáticas e meta-análises publicados predominantemente nos últimos 20 anos. Os achados demonstram que níveis elevados de interleucina-6 (IL-6), fator de necrose tumoral alfa (TNF-α) e interleucina-1 beta (IL-1β) estão associados à intensificação da dor, maior gravidade de sintomas depressivos e pior prognóstico funcional. Mecanisticamente, a sinalização inflamatória periférica promove ativação microglial, sensibilização central e alterações na conectividade de circuitos límbicos e pré-frontais. Adicionalmente, a ativação da via da quinurenina reduz a disponibilidade de serotonina e favorece a produção de metabólitos neurotóxicos, contribuindo para desregulação do humor e amplificação nociceptiva. Conclui-se que a neuroinflamação sistêmica constitui elo fisiopatológico relevante entre dor crônica e transtornos psiquiátricos, reforçando a necessidade de abordagens terapêuticas integradas que considerem biomarcadores inflamatórios e estratégias imunomoduladoras. A compreensão desse eixo amplia perspectivas para intervenções mais precisas e baseadas em mecanismos biológicos.
TERRITORIALIDADES RIBEIRINHAS NAS VÁRZEAS AMAZÔNICAS E A INSUFICIÊNCIA DO REGIME JURÍDICO BRASILEIRO
Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de examinar se o regime jurídico brasileiro aplicável às várzeas amazônicas é suficiente para garantir segurança jurídica e territorial ao uso tradicional ribeirinho, especialmente em áreas de domínio público não abrangidas por terras indígenas, territórios quilombolas ou unidades de conservação. Adota-se o método dedutivo, com abordagem jurídico-sistemática e orientação hermenêutico-concretizante, articulando a análise da realidade ecológica das várzeas com os parâmetros constitucionais e convencionais de tutela ambiental e cultural. Como resultado, identifica-se que o modelo normativo vigente, fundado em categorias dominiais rígidas e na separação entre os espaços terrestre e fluvial, revela-se apenas parcialmente adequado, por não incorporar instrumentos jurídicos compatíveis com a dinâmica integrada dos ecossistemas de várzea e dos usos coletivos tradicionais. Verifica-se que a inexistência desses instrumentos impede tutela territorial compatível com a integração funcional entre os ecossistemas de várzea e as territorialidades tradicionais ribeirinhas, resultando em déficit de proteção jurídica e insegurança territorial. Sustenta-se que a concretização dos deveres constitucionais e convencionais de proteção ambiental e cultural incidentes sobre as várzeas exige a previsão legal de instrumento jurídico específico de proteção territorial compatível com a natureza coletiva, funcional e hidrológica dos usos tradicionais em áreas de várzea.
AULA INVERSA PARA EL APRENDIZAJE AUTÓNOMO DE LOS ESTUDIANTES DEL NIVEL SECUNDARIO DE ASCOPE
En la educación secundaria peruana, predomina una enseñanza tradicional que evalúa de manera memorística contenidos como fechas y hechos, sin un análisis crítico y reflexivo, lo que limita el desarrollo del pensamiento. En tal sentido este estudio tiene el objetivo, aplicar el aula inversa para el aprendizaje autónomo de los estudiantes del nivel secundario de ASCOPE. Referente a la metodología este estudio tiene un enfoque cuantitativo, siguiendo una investigación interactiva con un diseño cuasi experimental. Entre los resultado se encontró que la aplicación del aula inversa generó un cambio cualitativo en la autonomía de los estudiantes esto se evidenció cuando el grupo experimental superó ampliamente al grupo control en media (19.00 vs 12.06), mostró mayor homogeneidad en los resultados (menor desviación estándar y coeficiente de variación). Se concluye que La aplicación del aula inversa en estudiantes de secundaria de Ascope produce un desarrollo homogéneo de las tres dimensiones del aprendizaje autónomo: diagnóstico del aprendizaje, planificación y gestión, toma de decisiones y ejecución de estrategias.
O(A) PEDÓFILO(A) NECESSITA DE ACOLHIMENTO, ENTENDIMENTO E TRATAMENTO E NÃO, JULGAMENTO, ESPANCAMENTO E MORTE: DESMITIFICANDO A ORIENTAÇÃO SEXUAL PEDOFÍLICA E O TRANSTORNO PEDOFÍLICO
A presente investigação de cunho qualitativo e pautada na pesquisa bibliográfica e na pesquisa via internet, objetivou desmitificar o Transtorno Pedofílico (CID F65.4) e a Orientação Sexual Pedofílica e conscientizar a sociedade mundial sobre tal transtorno e orientação sexual. Dessa forma, como uma das questões norteadoras, o presente artigo científico teve como norte, o seguinte questionamento: O que é o Transtorno Pedofílico? Como um dos resultados a pesquisa mostrou que há muita desinformação a respeito dessa parafilia, em especial com a omissão e falta de comprometimento por parte da mídia e redes de produções televisivas, visto que essas apenas mostram em suas produções a pessoa com Orientação Sexual Pedofílica ou com o Transtorno Pedofílico como pessoas monstruosas que agem sexualmente contra crianças e adolescentes porque querem e não porque nasceram com um transtorno mental que merece atenção, acolhimento e tratamento.
