Феномен пайдейи: идеалы греческой культуры и некоторые перспек-тивы ее понимания
Authors: Лактионова Аделина Газинуровна
Published: January 2025

В статье предлагаются размышления над фундаментальными понятиями греческой пайдейи (образовательного и культурного проекта формирования греческого человека). Автор настоящей статьи обращается к данной теме, так как пайдейя совпадает с человеком и истиной как идеалами, как возможностями, позволяющими (в отличие от власти) включить утопию и надежду в область мысли и коллективной жизни. Пайдейя всегда предполагает, что человек не знает о себе, что конституирует его в герменевтике его собственного бытия. Грек понимает, что его задача состоит в том, чтобы действовать, исходя из постоянной интерпретации мира и самого себя, потому что он признал, что истина никогда не заканчивается, что это всегда открытая задача. Пайдейя – это процесс формирования человека как личности и как народа. Единой модели пайдейи не существует, что отражает актуальность данной работы. Греческая религия - дискурс, где мы вынуждены думать не только о религии, но и о политике, антропологии, истории, морали и этике, но несомненно, что сама религия была главным элементом греческого общества. В данной статье рассматриваются и анализируются некоторые моменты греческой пайдейи. Следует начать с приближений к ее определению с точки зрения таких теоретиков, как Вернер Йегер, а затем углубиться в характеристики и типы пайдейи, что формирует новизну настоящей работы.
Моральные аспекты проблемы подлинности бытия в философии Карла Ясперса
Authors: Петропавловская Мария Александровна
Published: January 2025

В статье рассматривается проблема подлинности бытия и ее реализация в философии Карла Ясперса с точки зрения моральных смыслов. Определяется, почему, говоря о подлинности бытия, мы говорим об экзистенции. Обнаруживается моральный смысл оценки экзистенции в классической традиции и в традиции экзистенциализма, рассматривается драматический переворот значения понятия экзистенции. Проясняется то, какое звучание обретает экзистенция в философии Ясперса, а также отличия этого звучания от того, как экзистенция оказывается представлена в других направлениях экзистенциализма и у других авторов. Обсуждаются противостоящие экзистенции неподлинные модусы существования. В результате экзистенция предстает как такой способ бытия, который в ценностном отношении превосходит все иные способы бытия, доступные человеку. Экзистенция у Ясперса обнаруживает себя как способ существования, берущий свой исток в трансценденции и укорененный в ней. Человек в системе Ясперса обретает опору в собственной экзистенции, которая в свою очередь оказывается укоренена в абсолютном истоке за пределами эмпирического мира, и это соотношение оказывается лежащим в основании проблемы подлинности бытия в учении Ясперса.

Re-examining the Concept of Secular Transformation. How Can We Capture the Turn of an Era? Theoretical Approaches, Methods and Implications
Authors: Komlosy Andrea
Published: January 2025

This contribution explores the theoretical approaches and methods of my book ‘Zeitenwende. Corona, Big Data und die kybernetische Zukunft’ (‘Turn of an Era. Corona, Big Data, and The Cybernetic Future’), published in German language at Promedia in 2022.
The following considerations have benefited fr om the many reviews, discussions and interviews, I have had with colleagues, media, podcast and video platforms, and at book presentations all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Apart fr om approval, I have received a list of open questions which encouraged me to re-examine my approach and verify my arguments.
Turn of an Era addresses the transition fr om the industrial to the cybernetic principle as a major turning point in the history of mankind. With regard to the scheme of long-term historical development, Komlosy builds on Leonid Grinin, Anton Grinin and Andrey Korotayev (Grinin and Grinin 2016; Grinin, Grinin, and Korotayev 2017), to whom she is grateful for the model of triple cycles of accumulation, hegemony and the production principle. The Russian school of big history and social evolutionary research has so far not been received in German-speaking global studies. Their contributions add new insights into the field of world-system transformation.

The transition gains momentum in the face of the Corona crisis management, which is portrayed as a dynamizing element, occurring at a moment when Kondratiev cycles and shifts in global hegemony coincide with a secular conjunction, the rise of the cybernetic mode of production. Hence, Corona management is analyzed as an accelerating factor in the promotion of new lead sectors and novel ways of structuring production flows, needs and wants as well as political governance.

In the course of reflecting the theoretical and methodological approaches, outlining the structure and theoretical concepts, special interest is devoted to answering the question of how to identify an epochal turning point at a moment when we cannot yet foresee outcomes and future developments. For a historian, it is not enough to rely on foresight models alone. In addition, Corona and its handling during the special period 2020–2022 offered a unique moment for empirical research, creating a global laboratory fr om which no one could escape. A state of emergency, with regard to movement, communication, consumption sectoral dynamics, the vulnerability of supply chains … providing abundant sources and evidence to study the transition fr om industrial to cybernetic capitalism in a nutshell. Corona's disruptive effects first met health. Given the concern about life and death, health and health-related industries developed into the motion center for social change that affected society far beyond health, across all sectors and spheres of life.

Weak and strong memories are equally reactivated during counterfactual learning, but only weak memories are modified
Authors: Yu Wangjing , Davachi Lila
Published: January 2025

Adaptively updating memories about familiar others is an important social skill. Here, we examined whether strong or weak social memories are more prone to updating when violated. Participants viewed well-known characters’ emotional reactions to food items either repeatedly or only once. They then studied new events where some characters exhibited unexpected emotions to the same food items, violating initial memories. We found that when violated, strong existing memories, compared to weak memories, led to worse learning of new information, suggesting the resistance of strong memories to updating. Further, using a novel behavioral metric, we assessed the mechanistic role of memory reactivation in the updating of strong and weak memories. We showed that when encountering conflicting information, instead of reflecting their relative encoding strength, reactivation of weak memories reached a level similar to that of strong memories. Meanwhile, strong memories that were more reactivated showed higher likelihood to incorporate new information.
Audiovisual causal inference in implicit spatial representations
Authors: Friemel Franziska , Rohe Tim
Published: January 2025

The causal inference problem in multisensory perception describes the challenge our brains face in a multisensory environment: deciding whether sensory stimuli originate from a common source and should be integrated or from distinct sources and should be segregated. The brain addresses this problem by inferring causal structure from the spatiotemporal disparity of multisensory stimuli. However, it remains unclear whether the brain handles causal inference automatically (implicitly) or requires effortful cognitive processing (explicitly). In this study, we investigated how human observers (N = 47) process audiovisual information by computing implicit auditory spatial representations using a novel audiovisual distance estimation task analysed with multidimensional scaling. We compared implicit to explicit auditory spatial representations from three classical explicit auditory localisation and causal judgment tasks. We found that visual biases (i.e., the ventriloquist effect) in implicit auditory spatial representations were less informed by spatial disparity of the audiovisual stimuli compared to explicit representations, as fitted by a computational stochastic fusion model. Only in the explicit joint localisation and causal task, small spatial disparity increased the visual bias as predicted by a computational Bayesian causal inference model. Our results suggest that causal inference requires explicit cognitive processing that observers only apply if the causal structure of stimuli is directly relevant to the task. Otherwise, the brain relies on simpler automatic decision strategies such as stochastic fusion, possibly involving only lower regions of the cortical hierarchies.
Investigating Cancer Inequalities in Urbanizing Texas with Plausible Reasoning
Authors: Donegan Connor
Published: January 2025

This paper contributes to geographical methodology by presenting an epistemology of plausible reasoning (PR) as a complement to realist and reflexive frameworks for science. I introduce PR's theory of evidence, after George Pólya and Harold Jeffreys, and then extrapolate principles for non-experimental study designs. This paper leverages these principles to investigate possible explanations of a racial disparity in the colorectal cancer (CRC) burden in the Houston and Dallas - Fort Worth metropolitan areas of Texas. Centered on a series of questions pertaining to racial ghettoization, contemporary urbanization, and cancer inequalities, the study uncovers important geographic and social changes in the CRC burden in the study areas between 1999 and 2019. These include the rise of a substantial class-related inequality in CRC incidence, the rise of aggregate racial differences in CRC incidence outside of historically ghettoized areas, and an overall intensification of spatial CRC inequality. Drawing on fundamental cause theory and critical urban studies, I propose that these changes are the product of the uneven spread of new preventive technologies (screening colonoscopy) amid extensive and polarizing urbanization processes that are reshaping these regions. The study highlights the value of incorporating concern for dynamic macro-structures and political economy into analyses of spatial health data, and illustrates how PR may contribute to such work.
Factors explaining students’ engagement and self- reported outcomes in a project-based learning case
Authors: Tirado-Morueta Ramón , Garrido Yolanda Ceada , Piña Antonio Javier Barragán , Gómez Juan Manuel Enrique , Márquez Jose Manuel Andújar
Published: January 2025

Few Project-based learning (PBL) has been a methodology traditionally associated with student engagement and good results. However, not all experiences are sufficiently satisfactory. Comprehensive models that explain the success or failure of these experiences are still lacking. The objective of this study was to understand the mechanisms that explain student engagement and other satisfactory educational results of PBL. During two academic years, the Sustainable Urban Race (SUR) project was analyzed. In this project, students from secondary schools should design and build an electric vehicle using solar energy. In the present study, a multigroup analysis of structural equations was applied. The data showed a positive association of the challenging and support-enriched context with the students’ engagement, being partially mediated by the satisfaction of the competence needs, peer relationships and group autonomy. The study provides a useful framework for practitioners and researchers of student engagement in PBL.
Retrospective study of correlation between high risk detection of HPV and liquid based cervical cytology for cervical cancer screening
Authors: Thakur Niki , Aryal Gopi , Rana Reena
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is most common in Nepalese women. Human papilloma virus (HPV) plays a main role in pathogenesis of cervical cancer. Human papilloma virus serotype 16 is the most common type followed by HPV 18. Liquid based smear cytology (LBC) is a simple, safe, non-invasive and cost effective method for the detection of squamous intraepithelial lesion or squamous cell carcinoma. The aim of this study was to correlate HPV DNA testing result with the findings of Liquid based cytology.
METHODS This was a retrospective study conducted for 2 years at Department of Laboratory Medicine Pathology, Nepal Mediciti hospital from 1st may 2021 to 30th April 2023. Total of 1456 cases were included in this study.
RESULTS Out of 1456 cases, 100 cases were positive for HPV. The concordance between HPV DNA test and LBC findings is 57%. The highest HPV-positive cases were seen in the age group of 31-40years. The most common HPV genotype study was HPV 16 (28%) followed by HPV 18 (27%). HPV 16 was positive in 57% of ASCUS positive cases of LBC, is statistically significant (P value-0.017). HPV 18 was positive in 37.0% of ASCUS positive cases of LBC, is not statistically significant (P value-0.018). The concordance between HPV positive detection and LBC findings is 57% and discordance is 43%.
CONCLUSIONS This study shows the prevalence of HPV is higher in middle to young age group. ASCUS was common finding in LBC in HPV positive cases followed by LSIL,HSIL and SCC. However 43% of HPV positive cases were reported as negative for intraepithelial lesion (NILM) as there was no abnormality in squamous epithelial cells. Both the HPV test and cervical LBC smears are valuable tools for early detection of cervical precursor lesion. However, neither test alone provides conclusive results for comprehensive screening. So, it is recommended to use both test in combination for more accurate and reliable findings in cervical cancer screening.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND In 1954, Castleman Disease (CD), was first described and is also known as angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia or giant lymph node hyperplasia . Among many sites where lesion occurs, commonest is in the thorax (60%), abdomen (11%), neck (14%), and axilla (4%)
MATERIALS AND METHOD We analyzed five cases of Castleman disease we received in Nepal Mediciti during five-year period from 2020 to 2024. Demographics, clinical variables, anatomical site, centricity, histopathology, immunochemistry, and surgical approach were reviewed.
RESULTS Among five cases, anatomical location of two cases from retroperitoneum, two from inguinal region and one is from cervical lymph node. Three cases were male and two were female. Age group of these five cases shows three were adult and two were children. All of them underwent surgical resection and under continuous follow up. One of the cases from retroperitoneum had got recurrence.
CONCLUSION Castleman disease is a diagnosis of exclusion. Case should be evaluated on the basis of proper clinical findings, blood parameters, HIV and HHV-8 test, imaging along with biopsy and IHC. Lymphoma and Kaposi sarcoma may mimic on radiology and histologically with Castleman disease.

Authors: Karki Biplave , Sharma Chitra Raj , Joshi Shristi , Shrestha Purna Radha
Published: January 2025

Despite improvements in the design of prosthetic heart valves and the use of anticoagulation, stuck valve due to thrombosis remains the most dreaded complication of mechanical heart valve replacement. Discontinuation of anticoagulation during pregnancy due to fear of congenital anomaly as a result of inadequate counseling remains a great challenge. A course of thrombolytic therapy may be considered as a first-line therapy for prosthetic heart valve thrombosis. The safety of thrombolysis in pregnancy is not known. We describe a multigravida with mitral and aortic valve replacement status presenting with acute prosthetic mitral and aortic valve thrombosis and treated successfully with intravenous streptokinase.

Destabilizing Said’s Notion of Orientalism: A Critical Study of The Travels of Mirza Abu Taleb Khan
Authors: Saoud Umesh Singh
Published: January 2025

During the colonial period, many literary works helped the empire create a narrative about the Orient. However, few works describe the West from the perspective of the East. The Travels of Mirza Abu Taleb Khan is one such travelogue, offering a unique view of Europe through the eyes of an Eastern traveler. This paper examines Taleb Khan’s observations and opinions about Europeans and their culture. Using Edward Said’s concept of Orientalism as a framework, the paper argues that Taleb’s travelogue presents an Eastern discourse that challenges Said’s idea of Orientalism. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of cross-cultural perspectives and challenges traditional narratives about East-West relations. It highlights the importance of diverse viewpoints in shaping historical and literary discourses.
Assessing Vitality and Achieving Sustainable Use in the Kshetteli Language
Authors: Regmi Dan Raj
Published: January 2025

Kshetteli, a recently identified Tibeto-Burman language, is spoken by only four elderly people of the three villages, viz., Jhusku, Salli and Khatti, in the Darchula district of Nepal. Within Sustainable Use Model, this paper with some linguistic and sociolinguistic background briefly describes some processes of  assessing the present level of language use and  vitality of the Kshetteli language and  suggests some effective community based activities after assigning an EGIDS level for achieving a desired sustainable language use in the language. By analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data, this paper has revealed some typologically interesting phonological, morphological, syntactic and lexical features of the language. Besides, it has presented some sociolinguistic features including ethnolinguistic situation, language attitude and multilingualism. Generally, Kshetteli has been found to be a critically endangered language. This language has turned into a heritage language which retains only an identificational function with 9 (Dormant) EGIDS level. Thus, this language, which maintains sustainable identity, has to be uplifted from 9 to EGIDS level 8a (Nearly Extinct)  for awakening the language and  fulfilling community’s desire to achieve sustainable orality by devising different  activities for the transmission of internal life-crucial knowledge to the younger generations. Such activities may include developing corpus and language documentation technology, teaching the language in schools, forming a culture group and convincing the local policy makers to frame a multilingual language policy for uplifting the heritage language like Kshetteli. However, in order to transmit external life-crucial knowledge, at present, English has to be taught and learned by the community members as a large body of external life-crucial knowledge is primarily embodied in English.
Teachers’ Preparations for Implementing Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education in Teaching English
Authors: Tamang Dipak , Pandey Gopal Prasad
Published: January 2025

Mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE) in Nepal is a suitable and beneficial approach for students from indigenous language groups to learn English from their early grades. Teaching English through students' mother tongues helps them not only acquire English effectively but also understand subject matter more comprehensively. MTB-MLE integrates students’ mother tongues into English education, enabling them to transfer knowledge, skills, learning methods, and experiences through their native languages to additional ones, fostering sustainable learning outcomes at the basic education level. This study aims to explore teachers’ competencies in terms of pedagogical, curriculum, content, and methodological knowledge within MTB-MLE-implemented classrooms. It relies on secondary materials, including journals, books, and reports, which are reviewed and analyzed against relevant literature. The findings reveal that teachers’ competencies significantly contribute to their professional growth and development, emphasizing the importance of theoretical and practical knowledge for effective English teaching in multilingual classroom settings.
Embedded Globalism and Discourse of Minority Identity in Texts of Secondary School English Textbook
Authors: Pandey Tejendra
Published: January 2025

In today’s globalized world, where cultural boundaries blur and communication spans diverse linguistic and social contexts, the function of language and literature is changing. Language is no longer a simple communication tool but a social fact. It goes beyond mere linguistic competence. Language use is a social construct in wider socio-political contexts. The research paper on “Embedded Globalism and Discourse of Minority Identity in English Textbook of Secondary Level” uncovers implicit power structures between power holders and oppressed groups. The term ‘Globalism’ refers to the process in which local people are influenced by global culture, products and media. It not only includes economic and social changes but also has cultural dislocations and devastations that have travelled at great speed. Literature, as a reflection of society, depicts intricate narratives, ideologies, and cultural dislocation. Through CDA, literary texts can be deconstructed to reveal the implicit power structures, cultural biases, and hegemony. Thus, language teaching becomes a major guideline to dissect power abuse, encouraging students to question the cultural biasness and underlying power relation. This study is mainly centered in the secondary school literary texts like Anita Desain’s story “A Devoted Son”, Abhi Subedi’s poem “Soft Storm” and Languston Hughes’s poem “Madam and Her Madam.” While analyzing the texts, I have applied Fairclough’s model of discourse analysis to explore the hidden power relation. Such an approach uncovers implicit social inequality, power relationships and injustice ensuring students a more inclusive, interdisciplinary and multicultural understanding of global society in the global contexts.
Experienced Victimization and Confidence in the Police among Young Canadian Adults
Authors: Nguyen Quan , Ngo Hieu , Lee Yeonjung
Published: January 2025

This article examines how experienced victimization affects the confidence of young adults in the police in Canada. Using data from the 2019 General Social Survey – Cycle 34: Victimizations, our analysis focuses on the subgroup of young adults aged 15 to 34 ( N = 3,395). The findings confirm a significant negative correlation between experienced victimization and confidence in the police among young people. Other factors, such as community belonging, neighborhood crime rates, and overall health status, are positively associated with confidence in the police. The results provide insights into how various sociodemographic factors have influenced the perceptions of law enforcement by young adults. The study highlights the challenges faced by Indigenous, vulnerable, and racialized community members (e.g., those with visible minority status, people with disabilities, and those facing discrimination), who often have lower levels of confidence in the police. These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive police–community collaborative strategies prioritizing inclusivity, anti-discrimination measures, and focused support for Canadian young adults to improve their trust and confidence in law enforcement.
Put On Your Own Mask First Before Assisting Others: Prioritizing a Collaborative Approach to the Wellness of Student and Academic Affairs Professionals
Authors: González Carolina E. , Soufleris Dawn Meza
Published: January 2025

With a growing demand for addressing the mental health needs of students, so is the need for faculty and practitioners in student affairs and academic affairs to engage in supporting students through their trauma, due to a lack of mental health resources and a rise in students’ feelings of isolation and anxiety, as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of supporting students through crisis is an experience that, when encountered with normalcy, may impact the emotional and physical well-being of higher education professionals, which higher education employee wellness programs do not typically address. Institutional capacity for employee mental health support and resources is limited, and there is a lack of awareness and few data on the impact that these work stressors can have on higher education professionals. This article focuses on the role academic and student affairs leaders play in engaging departments of human resources in workplace wellness programs that account for the unique work stressors these professionals experience.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF METHODS USED FOR COMMUNICATIVE INFLUENCE ON THE AUDIENCE BY THE ADDRESSER AND THE ADDRESSER-RETRANSMITTER IN THE AMERICAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Pliuta Nataliia L.
Published: January 2025

The paper deals with the comparative analysis in use of methods for communicative influence on the audience by the addresser and the addresser-retransmitter in the American political discourse. Particular attention is paid to the impact of some given status-role restrictions imposed on the speech, produced by the addresser-retransmitter. The circle of the political discourse participants is outlined.
Most of the relevant studies highlight the speech research of those participants of the political discourse who can be viewed as the representatives of the upper echelons of the power hierarchy. At the same time, the examined genres of discourse often do not provide for instant feedback since they are essentially the utterance of prepared speeches. A political institute is a hierarchical entity; therefore, the representatives of different levels can take part in the political communication. In this regard, we consider it appropriate to shift the focus to the speech of the speakers who deliver an institutional message from the perspective of their status-role frameworks and subordinate position.
In order to study the peculiarities of the status-role parameters of the addresser-retransmitter in the situation of communication at a press briefing, there were chosen the speakers that most likely emphasize the characteristics of the given types of addressers. The speakers are President of the USA and White House press secretary. Analysis of pragmatic aspects of the press conferences of the selected presidents and press briefings of the selected press secretaries allowed to identify the main communication strategies, implementation of which is directed by the speakers in a given communicative situation. Taking into account extralinguistic factors, a basic set of communicative tactics allowing the implementation of the mentioned strategies has been identified. It is shown that the use of the specific communicative tactics by the addresser-retransmitter is primarily due to the institutional pressure and the situation flow.
A Criticize the Study of Yangming Studies by Iso Kern
Authors:   THE  TAEDONG  CENTER  FOR  EASTERN  CLASSICS, CHO Nam-Ho
Published: January 2025

This article is a thesis criticizing the study of Yangming Studies by Iso Kern. Iso Kern is significant in that he interprets the two aspects of Wang Yangmyeong and descendants as the self-attesting part and Buddha-nature based on his understanding of Mere Conciousness Buddhism, but he has limitations in that he does not understand Buddhism's cultivation theory and describes it phenomenologically from an external perspective.
Iso Kern's study of Yangming Studies is a philosophical book that describes the history of Yangming and descendants. Because he majored in Mere Conciousness Buddhism, it was possible to divide Liangzhi into three. His achievements deserve high praise. Nevertheless, there is insufficient research on him at present. It is appropriate, but the content is not. Liangzhi as the selfattesting part is considered moral, and Liangzhi as Buddha-nature is considered religious. Whether Liangzhi is understood as self-evidence or Buddha-nature, all should be considered in the Buddhist Zen meditation, and this cannot be separated from religious thinking. Liangzhi as the self-attesting part should be understood in Mere Conciousness Buddhism. the self-attesting part can be revealed only when the sixth conciousness's, the partr of the seen is removed and the part of the seeing is stopped. We can see the limitations of external perspectives of Western phenomenologists.
In the study of Yangming's descendants, Iso Kern also organizes it according to his composition, but treats it equally in plan. In terms of cultivation theory, it should be considered in the order of Liu Zhong-ju, Nie Bao, Luo Hong-xian, Wang Ji, and Wang Gen. If Liu Zhong-ju is close to a Zhuzi study, Qian De-hong, Ou Yang-de, Zou Shou-yi, Nie Bao is at the beginning of Yangming studies, Luo Hong-xian is at the middle of Yangming studies, Wang Ji is at the most mature level, and Wang Gen goes one step further and reveals it as a self-flight that practices specific social welfare. If these differences are not explained, their topographic map is not well understood. This is based on the understanding of cultivation theory. The descriptions of Yangming studies and descendants, which are not supported by the cultivation theory are bound to have limitations.
Verification of the Origins and Period of Activity of the Balhae Taoist (道士) Lee Gwang-hyeon (李光玄): Focusing on Daozang (道藏) Sources
Authors:   THE  TAEDONG  CENTER  FOR  EASTERN  CLASSICS, LIM Chae-Woo
Published: January 2025

Recently, the Taoist scholar Lee Gwang-hyeon, originally from Balhae, has garnered attention in China and is gradually becoming a subject of study among Korean scholars. Lee Gwang-hyeon engaged in cross-border trade between China, Korea, and Japan during the late Tang Dynasty. He is known to have led a monastic life in the Balhae region and the Songshan Mountain (嵩山) area of China, leaving traces as a person of global significance. It is known that the Zhengtong-era Daoist Canon (正統道藏), a collection of Taoist scriptures compiled in the late Ming Dynasty, includes four works authored by Lee Gwang-hyeon. In addition to these existing writings, the author discovered one more work, bringing the total number of his texts preserved in the Daozang to five. This finding suggests that Lee Gwang-hyeon was a notable practitioner and Taoist scholar during the Tang and Song Dynasties, with significant status in Chinese Taoist history.
Since 1983, when Chinese scholars first began examining Lee Gwang-hyeon, several studies have emerged. However, there remains ambiguity concerning his nationality and period of activity. Some Chinese scholars have posited that he was of Mohe or Liao (遼) origin, with varying claims regarding his period of activity, ranging from the late Tang (7th century) through the Five Dynasties to the early Song Dynasty (10th century), thus leading to misunderstandings about his Taoist philosophy.
In this study, careful attention has been given to this context, analyzing Lee Gwang-hyeon’s scope of activities, timeline, origins, and disciple-master relationships, with a focus on materials from the Zhengtong-era Daoist Canon. Through this, it has been verified that his nationality was Balhae and his period of activity corresponds to the mid-9th century.
Although Balhae has become a forgotten nation, seldom addressed in the history of Korean philosophy, the gradual uncovering of Lee Gwang-hyeon’s life and work is anticipated to lay a foundation for expanding the scope of Korean Taoist history.
PEER TEACHING AS AN ALTERNATIVE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR ECONOMICS EDUCATION TEACHERS
Authors: Habasisa Molise
Published: January 2025

This paper examines research concerning peer teaching as an alternative professional development technique for economics teachers. Peer teaching is an instructional strategy to enhance teacher professional development inside educational institutions. Through peer teaching, teachers actively engage in the professional development process. This is a prevalent professional development method for teachers aimed at familiarizing them with the practical application of the curriculum. The research is qualitative and employs a conceptual methodology. This study aimed to investigate peer teaching as an alternative professional development approach for teachers in economics. Data were obtained from various academic databases, including Google Scholar and ResearchGate. The study employed a thematic analysis of pertinent and contemporary literature. The study's themes included a deeper understanding of pedagogic and subject matter, learning new ways to teach, promoting collaboration through mentoring, enhancing organizational skills for teachers, and career development of teachers. The study's results demonstrate that peer teaching provides teachers with professional development opportunities that may enhance subject comprehension, foster teamwork, and offer mentoring support for beginner teachers. Ultimately, peer teaching can significantly promote teachers' professional growth and, thus, improve their curricular practices.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara fundamental career development kinerja pegawai negeri sipil perempuan pada Pemerintah Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif diperoleh melalui pengalaman pribadi, hasil pengamatan dan wawancara. Sumber data terdiri atas data primer dan data sekunder. Informan penelitian terdiri dari Sekda dan beberapa pegawai negeri sipil yang bekerja di sub bagian pemberdayaan perempuan Pemerinth Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Teknik analisis data meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data dan verifikasi data. Keabsahan data penelitian melalui pengecekan secara triangulasi sesuai pengamatan yang melibatkan unsur peneliti, metode dan obyek yang diamati. Hasil penelitian menemukan career development memiliki keterkaitan dengan kinerja PNS perempuan pada Pemerintah Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Analisis fundamental atas career development dan kinerja PNS perempuan menunjukkan bahwa meskipun terdapat kemajuan dalam kesetaraan gender, tantangan struktural, budaya, dan kebijakan masih menghambat pencapaian potensi perempuan secara penuh. Hal ini dikarenakan adanya budaya patriarki dan stereotip gender membatasi peluang perempuan untuk menduduki posisi strategis, sheingga akses yang terbatas terhadap pelatihan dan pengembangan kompetensi, terutama bagi perempuan dengan tanggung jawab domestik. Proses promosi yang tidak sepenuhnya inklusif, seringkali dipengaruhi oleh bias subjektif, yang menjadikan penilaian kinerja PNS perempuan terasa kurang adil, terutama bagi perempuan yang mengambil cuti melahirkan atau memiliki tanggung jawab ganda.

Flood prediction remains a critical concern in Indonesia, a nation frequently affected by seasonal deluges. This research aims to predict flood occurrences in five key provinces by employing a hybrid machine learning approach using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Random Forest models. Leveraging geospatial and temporal data from Petabencana.id, collected between January 2018 and February 2024, the study develops a predictive framework for flood forecasting. The analysis integrates flood depth and historical disaster data to estimate the time to the next flood, with predictions starting after the last data entry in February 2024. The model accurately predicted that Jakarta would experience flooding within 25–50 days post-February, a forecast corroborated by significant floods in April 2024. Other provinces, including Central Java and East Java, displayed longer flood risk windows extending further into the year. With a training accuracy of 99%, the model underscores its reliability in predicting flood events. This study emphasizes the strength of LSTM in capturing temporal patterns and the role of Random Forests in identifying key predictive features. The proposed model offers a valuable tool for disaster management agencies and local governments, enabling them to anticipate and mitigate flood impacts using real-time data from Petabencana.id.
