Authors: Molla Md Tamzid Hossain
Published: August 2024

As Bangladesh is enriched with fish resources of fresh water, few studies have been conducted to reveal the nutritional value of fish oils. In our present work, we aimed to study the composition of extracted lipids from Colisa fasciatus to explore the medicinal value of this fish which can be used as a precursor for nutraceuticals also. The lipid was extracted from the fish using a solvent extraction method with chloroform and methanol. The qualitative parameters like acid value, peroxide value, saponification value and iodine value were calculated by chemical reaction methods. GCMS analysis was carried out to explore the composition of the extracted lipid. The antioxidant activity of the extracted lipid was carried out by DPPH radical scavenging and Iron reducing study. Thrombolytic activity of the sample was studied by weight difference method. Among 20 constituents hexadecanoic acid (42.808%) was present in the highest concentration. The other remarkable components are Methyl tetradecanoate, pentadecanoic acid, heptadecanoic acid and 9-Octadecanoic acid. Compared to butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT) as standard, our extracted fish lipid showed 27.9% removal of DPPH. The thrombolytic property showed 7.07 % lysis of blood clots. The fatty acid composition of the extracted lipid supports physiological properties like antiaging and thrombolysis which can make a way to find a new array to use this fish lipid as a new nutritional supplement.

IoT Security Using Machine Learning Methods with Features Correlation
Authors: Htwe Chaw Su , Myint Zin Thu Thu , Thant Yee Mon
Published: August 2024

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative technology that makes our environment smarter, with IoT devices as an integral part of home automation. Smart home systems are becoming increasingly popular as an IoT service in the home that connects via a network. Due to the security weakness of many devices, the malware is targeting IoT devices. After being infected with malicious attacks on smart devices, they act like bots that the intruders can control. Machine learning methods can assist in improving the attack detection process for these devices. However, the irrelevant features raise the computation time as well as affect the detection accuracy in the processing with many features. We proposed a machine learning-based IoT security framework using feature correlation. The feature extraction scheme, one-hot feature encoding, correlation feature selection, and attack detection implement an active detection mechanism. The results show that the implemented framework is not only for effective detection but also for lightweight performance. The proposed system outperforms the results with the selected features, which have almost 100% detection accuracy. It is also approved that the proposed system using CART is more suitable in terms of processing time and detection accuracy.
The World Is the Totality of Values: On How to Challenge Wittgenstein’s Positivism
Authors: Korab-Karpowicz Prof. W. Julian
Published: August 2024

What is reality? In a narrow positivistic or empirical vision, whose expression can be found in Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, facts are the whole reality. He declares: “The world is the totality of facts …”. These declarations can serve as an example of how positivism, which declares itself an antimetaphysical program, formulates a metaphysical thesis. For the positivists, reality, what-exists, is sensible facts, denoting what can be observed. Values and other qualitative attributes of the world that cannot be observed and classified as facts, are considered the domain of subjectivity, the matter of personal preference, and as such are excluded from reality and scientific inquiry. Statements about them are denied any sense. This is why for Wittgenstein, as well as for other positivists, ethics, a domain of values, cannot be meaningfully expressed. Positivism in social sciences excludes the possibility of a rational, theoretical discussion of a morally and politically good life, and of making meaningful value choices.

However, positivism conceals an implicit subjectivism that is present in the cognitive process. It does not understand that its description of reality as facts is only an interpretation that takes facts to be reality itself and derives from this view practical consequences related to the possibility of thinking and speaking meaningfully about values. Values can be defined as the qualities that human beings appreciate because of their usefulness or their role in the satisfaction of human needs. If we agree with the positivists that values cannot be known by direct observation like physical phenomena, this does not mean that values cannot be known at all, or do not exist, or are merely subjective. Since in knowing the world, our subjectivity is always involved—or there is always a knower and what is to be known—facts are essentially subjective. Further, just as it is possible to communicate facts to others and agree on statements concerning them, because if we practice impartiality and neutrality, they can be made inter-subjective, and in this sense, also objective, so also it is possible to express values with sense, agree on them, and implement them in our lives. Hence, rationality and meaningfulness are not merely limited to factuality. We can speak rationally and meaningfully about values as well. They are the essential part of our human reality.

Human Rights under Siege: Analysis of Gross Violations of Human Rights in Geographical and Existential Peripheries
Authors: Lokola Raphael Okitafumba
Published: August 2024

This paper addresses the betrayal of the original intuition behind the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948. The belief of every human being’s inherent dignity and inalienable human rights encapsulates this intuition. Today, however, human dignity and inalienable human rights are grossly violated in geographical and existential peripheries by the same institution that has been assigned the noble mission of protecting and promoting them. My analysis will proceed in three steps. First, I will describe the context of the siege of human rights. Second, I will identify some causal factors that encourage this siege. Third and lastly, I will envisage perspectives that can halt the siege of human rights in geographical and existential peripheries.
Design and Practice of an Interdisciplinary Pedagogy of Heal (History, Environment, Anthropology, Logic) Facing to Secondary School Students
Authors: Hong Vivian
Published: August 2024

The theme of this paper is the HEAL pedagogy, which refers to the interdisciplinary teaching with History as the platform subject and the integration with Environment science, Anthropology, and Logic. HEAL is an innovative concept originally raised in this paper and it is brought out against the popular concept STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), thus to manifest the significance of “these crucial and sometimes underestimated subjects”, as it was described by Professor Julia Black (2023), President of the British Academy. Mingling elements from different knowledge domains in understanding what happened in the human society may expose students to brand new angles of observing the world and scaffolding cognitive awareness. What’s more, there’s no fixed barrier between humanity subjects and those of natural science. If the interdisciplinary pedagogy is put in a more macro context, elements from natural science can also be integrated.

Examples including explaining history topics like “the motive of ancient Chinese people to build the Great Wall” with the geographical concept of the 400mm isohyet, linking the using of gold and silver as global mainstream currencies with their physical attributes, comparing urbanization process in the Industrial Revolution. All lesson plans in this paper have been conducted in practical teaching at a secondary school, which contributed class observation, as well as questionnaire survey with qualitative and quantitative questions among students as the methods of this research. Other methods include literature study and interview. Ethical claims are ready.
How to Proceed After Hospital Treatment? Integration of Children Living With Serious Illness Into the School Environment – Method of a School Intervention Program
Authors: Gácsig-Somogyi Borbála , Papp Zsuzsanna Katalin
Published: August 2024

Integration of a child after the diagnoses or longer hospitalization is a challenge not only for the sick child but for the classroom community and the teachers. Chronic illness may come with restricted social activities and a more submissive behavior toward peers that may make the child more exposed to bullying (Meijer et al, 2000). Bátor Tábor Foundation established a School-based Program which tries to help children affected by a disease re-integrate themselves into their school-life. The program aims to help the sick children and their classmates to have a deeper connection and open communication about the illness. The goal is to embolden the participants to overcome their fears, worries and stereotypes while improving self-efficacy and quality of life with using a combination of therapeutic recreation and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). The approach of the program helps the involvement of healthy and sick children into personalized and team challenges while they are encouraged to support each other. The innovation of the program lies in the fact that previously the SFBT method was mainly applied to children living with an illness or suffering from behavioral problems (Franklin et al., 2008), but in the School program we extended the intervention to the entire class community – head teacher included.
Theatre as a Catalyst for Social Change: Understanding Habib Tanvir as a Reformist Playwright in ‘Charandas Chor’ (1975)
Authors: Kumar Manivendra , Ghoshal Dr. Ananya
Published: August 2024

Post-independence canon of Indian theatre is marked by a paradigmatic shift in the reformist agendas of the playwrights. Some playwrights used the method of proscenium plays, while others relied on street or folk theatre to present the socio-cultural turbulences of the time. Habib Tanvir is one reformist playwright of the period whose works can be traced at the intersections of proscenium and rural/folk theatre. Tanvir’s plays are considered milestones in the amalgamation of Indian folk theatre arts and the contemporary perspective of the world. Scholars such as Katheryn Hansen and Javed Mallick have credited Tanvir for bringing together the rural and urban paradigms of theatre arts and propagating a form that was of, for, and by the people. The present paper expands this proposition and studies Tanvir’s Charandas Chor for its distinct representation of rural folk tales in an urban theatrical model. By studying the play closely, the paper argues that Tanvir creates a liminal space that challenges the established notions of reformist drama in India. It also examines the form, content, and meaning of the play through Richard Schechner’s lenses of drama, theatre, and performance. It further explores reformist agendas that subvert the affiliation of social etiquettes through Henri Bergson’s idea of inversion. The paper establishes that Tanvir’s theatre’s uniqueness lies in harnessing the intersectional dimensions of rural and urban theatrical models, which he uses to express plebian issues that are represented through the vibrant performative elements of folk theatre and the urban techniques of theatre.
Quietude and Loving-Kindness in Daily Life: Interpreting Zen Koans
Authors: Parbat Adarsh Narayan
Published: August 2024

Engaging with a distinctive interdisciplinary methodology that integrates the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, W.R. Bion, D.W. Winnicott and Heinz Kohut with the philosophical insights of D.T. Suzuki and Nishida Kitaro, the paper investigates the themes and motifs of quietude and loving-kindness in daily life through the analysis of Zen koans. The paper inquires the psychological and existential dimensions of quietude and loving-kindness, two qualities greatly revered in Zen Buddhism and increasingly acknowledged for their therapeutic value in the modern world.

The paper engages with Freud’s exposition of various defence mechanisms that hinder the individual to attain psychological depth and engages with Jung’s notion of archetypes and collective unconscious. It engages with the methods through which the psychoanalytic perspectives of the true self and the holding environment by Winnicott, containment and reverie by Bion and the concept of self-psychology by Kohut advance the understanding and meaning of quietude, empathy and kindness in daily life.

The paper analyses the method through which the above-mentioned psychoanalytic perspectives integrated with D.T. Suzuki's elucidations on Zen Buddhism and Nishida Kitaro's philosophy of direct experience enable personal growth, self-understanding, and foster the growth of compassionate and interconnected relationships with others. The paper argues that the engagement with the multiple layers of meanings of Zen koans propels one to cultivate quietude and loving-kindness which can impact everyday living in a profound manner. The integrated analytical methodology is used to decipher the contemporary existential and psychological challenges.

Authors: Butoracová Šindleryová Ivana , Turcan Kamil
Published: August 2024

Despite the difficulties in which it finds itself in the current pandemic situation, Slovakia has the potential to become an attractive tourist destination, also thanks to many cultural and historical monuments. The purpose of the study was to deal with heritage, especially historical objects and the possibilities of their innovative and sustainable strategic management and to point out certain possibilities of marketing communication using the influence of social media of these promising tourist objects. A survey was conducted using the method of content and situational analysis, as well as a questionnaire method implemented at the level of management of cultural and historical objects. The main results include mainly the necessity to focus marketing strategies in tourism on emphasizing local cultural expressions both to reach new but also domestic audiences and in the future significantly in the context of sustainable cultural tourism. It turns out that the investments are needed in the modernization of historical objects promotion mainly in the social media field for the heritage awareness and attractiveness increase and interest and return of visitors. This creates space also for the involvement of voluntary organizations as an innovative form of communication with the segment of young visitors in the context of personification with the heritage. However, the results of the survey show that mainly the better marketing communication, innovation management, financial and crisis management planning, is needed.
An Intruder: Cyclone Idai and Post Disaster Coping Strategies Utilized by Adolescent Survivors
Authors: Sifelani Innocent , Matsikure Memory , Songo Sifikile , Kwembeya Maurice , Kudejira Denboy
Published: August 2024

Climate change has been identified as one of the leading threats to human health in Southern Africa. Climate change–induced natural disasters often leave behind a trail of destruction characterized by multidimensional losses such as loss of infrastructure, physical health, and psychological health. Adolescents are among the most vulnerable groups during and after a natural disaster. This article presents findings of a research whose aim was to establish cyclone Idai–related losses and post disaster coping strategies among adolescent survivors. Based on qualitative data collected from 15 participants in the Odzi community of Manicaland Province in Zimbabwe, the article reveals that participants experienced diverse disaster-related losses, such as loss of independence and sense of control over their lives and general life satisfaction. The study notes that the impact of disaster-related losses had a toll on adolescents’ psychological, social, and physical well-being. From the study, it is established that in the aftermath of natural disasters, adolescents adopted two-pronged coping strategies, namely, personal coping strategies that include positive thinking and self-talk, and the utilization of social support such as instrumental and counseling support. This study suggests, among other recommendations, school-based trainings to equip adolescents with personal coping strategies.
Decoding Cultural Narratives through Project-Based Learning
Authors: Tsai Naomi , Gastón-Greenberg Javier
Published: August 2024

We at Educurious have collaborated with the United States Library of Congress to develop a freely available Ethnic Studies project-based curricular series that uses cultural expression as a lens to navigate complex factors that have shaped diverse identities in the United States, encompassing migration, colonization, imperialism, and the experiences of indigenous and black communities globally. The objective is to facilitate students' comprehension of various groups' origins and efforts to preserve cultural heritage, evolve expressions of identity, and transform society.

The project proposes a structured three-unit series, exemplified by the Latinè cultural history series. "Pa’lante: Onward with Art" introduces students to Puerto Rican artists using visual mediums to present key concepts such as indigeneity, resistance, and anti-colonial advocacy. "Nepantla: Kinship in Music" traces the roots of Latin music genres, and builds on the groundwork from the previous unit to explore cultural diffusion and dual identity. "Cocina: Food is History" shifts focus to Latin America, delving into the significance of food in understanding the historical context and cultural evolution of Latiné communities of the U.S.

Currently in development are three additional units that follow the same structure as the Latinè series and explore Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) narratives. The first unit in this series explores the ongoing Hawaiian sovereignty movement and the grounding concept of aloha aina through the medium of spoken word.

Our presentation will consist of an overview of our methodology and highlight key examples from our curriculum.
The Reflection of Labor in Chinese Migrant Worker’s Theatrical Practice: We 2s: Labor Exchange Market (2019)
Authors: Du Yunfei
Published: August 2024

The drastic social and discursive changes in the past decades have resulted in the superimposition of neoliberal exploitation of surplus labor, precarious work, coercive resilience, and silenced agency on Chinese migrant workers. In response to their vulnerability and socio-cultural trauma, many Chinese migrant workers resort to theatrical practices within their communities to construct subjectivity and call for cultural equality. From the perspective of cultural studies, this paper manifests how grassroots community-based theatre groups provide an illuminating lens for mapping the less visible cultural terrain in post-socialist China, in view of the challenges brought by state-backed neoliberalism and sociogenic fragility. Mainly focusing on We 2s: Labor Exchange Market (2019), this study analyzes the entangled relation between the experience and representation of these subaltern groups and the tension between the visible center and obscured cultural margins, arguing that their theatrical praxis develops critical resilience and possible counter-hegemonic narratives of labor. These narratives transform the cultural space dominated by neoliberal discourse and the state’s ideology into a shared space that entails conversation, negotiation, friction, and collision with coercive forces from above. The community-based theatrical praxis empowers the agents to confront fragility and exploitation in their labor and work, and unceasingly challenges and reconfigures the cultural landscapes in contemporary China. We 2s invites migrant laborers to problematize their fragile, precarious labor, motivates them to reflect on social roles imposed on them, and encourages them to formulate new concepts of labor from below to revitalize and rebuild a culture that has long been silenced.
Let Children Create Meaning in Outdoor Drawing Activities
Authors: Wang Lei
Published: August 2024

Children's participation in outdoor art-making activities is enabled to promote children's overall development. Systematic outdoor painting courses allow children to experience an intimate relationship with nature and beauty in an immersive artistic and natural atmosphere. This kind of outdoor original colors and items are closely related to them. The stimulation of children's senses is more direct and impactful on the development of children's visual capture and artistic thinking.

Based on years of research on children's outdoor art courses, I found that children can communicate with natural things. By guiding children to observe the essence of natural things, they can use art tools to express their emotions and creative intentions; even with simple lines and graphics, children can also create meaning rooted in their daily lives. In this process of contact with natural space, children's creativity and artistic expression will permeate their creations, and their personalities, emotions, and ideas are also released through outdoor painting. Moreover, children's image narrative, language expression, and interpersonal communication abilities have also been developed in sharing and appreciating works with each other. In addition, the participation of parents in outdoor painting courses also brings the parent-child relationship closer. The content and behavior of children's paintings allow parents to better understand their children's needs.

As an art curriculum researcher, creating an immersive art creation environment will encourage children to exert their subjective initiative and make meaning through "playing and learning" outdoors.
Teaching About Creativity in the College History Classroom: Thoughts and Reflections After Three Semesters
Authors: Leinweber Dr. David
Published: August 2024

What is Creativity? How should historians talk about it? These questions provided an impetus for creating a new undergraduate course, “History and Creativity,” part of the Discovery Seminar program at Oxford College of Emory University for entering students. This presentation will share the author’s perspectives gained after three semesters of teaching this pilot Seminar course. It will provide general comments on how the course defined creativity for pedagogical purposes. It will also look at the syllabus, course format, and classroom approach. Concluding thoughts will provide reflections on challenges, feedback, and the value of thinking historically about creativity.

Taking as its theme “Creativity Meeting a Need,” the History and Creativity Discovery Seminar emphasized human creativity as the constructive impulse to make, build, improve, and understand. This broader framework was the lens to view many key innovations with a shared purpose and focus: science and technology, arts and architecture, cosmological understandings, and literature in all its various forms. As an undergraduate History course, factual historical details also were an emphasis, especially broader considerations like geography, periodization, historiography, or key sources. Combining a Western focus with some World History, content in the first part of the course focused on the early periods, with a fairly extended look at the Agricultural Revolution. Consideration of historical patterns formed in early human history often took us into discussion of much later periods during the latter half of the semester. Students pursued a wide variety of final research projects, based on themes and details drawn from the class. We read a shared book, Marc Bloch’s The Historian’s Craft, to think some about the meaning and purpose of historical study.

Along with an overview of the syllabus, course content, and approach, this presentation will also offer some reflective personal comments on unique challenges teaching a course on creativity, especially in areas like best ways to gauge student learning, best use of classroom time, and selecting readings. The author will also provide some thoughts on the significant value of studying creativity within a historical framework.
Self-Efficacy and Special Education
Authors: Bergen Dr. Abigail
Published: August 2024

This session will discuss how educators can boost the self-efficacy of students who have an educational disability. The session will start with an overview of the research on self-efficacy and students, specifically special education students, and the resources that can impact emotional, academic, and social self-efficacy.

A student’s level of self-efficacy can impact their motivation and success in school. Special education students tend to have lower levels of self-efficacy than their typical peers. Previous research has consistently identified specific resources that help special education students become more self-efficacious. These resources can be implemented into classroom routines and instruction to help build a special education student’s self-efficacy.

The session will end with examining each resource and how they can be implemented in the classroom. After this session, participants will be able to identify and implement strategies and teaching methods that help increase special education students' self-efficacy, understand the effect self-efficacy has on a student's trajectory, and leave with a basic understanding of the relationships between social, academic, and emotional self-efficacy.
Surprises and Inspirations of the Bibliotherapeutic Approach in Classrooms of Young Children
Authors: Gunther J.
Published: August 2024

COVID-19 can be viewed as an extended event of mass trauma to young children. In this study, college students majoring in education, and related fields, provided insights on their beliefs about the strategy/approach of bibliotherapy to support young children by ameliorating their fears. The need to include strategies for supporting PK-12 students in trauma within the traditional teacher preparation program may be warranted. With school-aged children spending more waking hours at school with their teachers than they do with their parents (Minkel, 2018), and teachers being the first to possibly notice a child as traumatized, preparing new teachers to address the needs of these very students is imperative. One particular strategy, developmental bibliotherapy (DB), has been shown effective in supporting children in trauma (De Vries et al., 2017). While this method has long been employed by or suggested to in-service teachers (Pardeck, 1995), it is either not often taught in the coursework of teacher preparation programs or not studied for research. This session will discuss the preliminary findings of an investigation with preservice teachers and their beliefs held about DB. Findings from such a study may prove helpful in deciding whether it should be included within a teacher preparation curriculum. The research question driving this study is: What are the beliefs held by undergraduates in education and related fields concerning the effectiveness of bibliotherapy as an approach to supporting young children in trauma? Findings of thematic analysis reveal the participants’ surprises and inspirations of the approach.

A Potentiality for Corruption: On the Pornographic Descriptions in Angela Carter’s “The Bloody Chamber”
Authors: Liu Yitong
Published: August 2024

The publication of Angela Carter’s “The Bloody Chamber” has added fuel to the series of debates on whether it is appropriate to expose women to pornographic contents that feature male dominance. The explicitly pornographic descriptions Carter has applied in her work position her as a supporter of women’s right to experience pleasure from sadomasochistic sex. Meanwhile, this paper intends to interpret the bloody corpses inside the secret chamber as Carter’s warning against falling into the traps of male dominance, which may be disguised as pleasure. It has a potentiality for corruption to female sexuality as it teaches them to centre their pleasure around male dominance. This paper also addresses the seemingly happy but sexless ending and consider it as Carter’s efforts to alert her readers of the dangerous power relations in the patriarchal society that groom women to base their sexual desires on the domination of male gaze, which are capable of corrupting the female sexuality and hinder them from achieving a more equal relationship. This paper argues that although Carter’s novella seems radical with its rich pornographic descriptions from a female perspective, it still possesses a somehow conservative feature as it intends to educate women of what the correct or healthy sexuality is supposed to be. To support its arguments, the paper intends to examine the advocacies of the pro-pornography and antipornography movements and apply feminist psychoanalytical theories on male gaze, sadomasochism, and castration to a close analysis of the text.
Innovations in Art Education: Analyzing New Teaching Methods, Technology Integration, and Unique Curriculum Designs Reshaping Art Education in Higher Education Institutions

Published: August 2024

Art education in higher education institutions is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by innovative teaching methodologies, the integration of advanced technologies, and unique curriculum designs. This study analyzes these developments, focusing on how they are reshaping the landscape of art education and enhancing the learning experience for students. The evolution in art education is not only enriching artistic practices but also broadening the scope of opportunities for art students in the digital age.

One of the primary innovations is the incorporation of digital technologies in art education. The use of digital tools such as graphic tablets, digital sculpting software, and virtual reality (VR) platforms has revolutionized traditional art forms, creating new realms for artistic expression. This technological integration enables students to explore and create art in ways that were previously unimaginable, fostering creativity and expanding the boundaries of art.

Another significant advancement is the adoption of interdisciplinary approaches in art education. Contemporary curriculum designs now often blend art with subjects like science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), encouraging a holistic understanding of art in the context of broader societal and technological trends. This interdisciplinary approach not only enhances artistic creativity but also equips students with diverse skills, making them more versatile and employable in the modern workforce.

In conclusion, the innovations in art education within higher education institutions are profoundly influencing how art is taught, practiced, and perceived.
Inequity in Education: The Impact of Teacher Identity and Attitudes
Authors: Tapley Colleen E.
Published: August 2024

Black students are disciplined at a greater rate than students from any other ethnic group or race beginning in preschool. According to Fenning and Rose (2007), disparities in discipline rates have been a problem for over 30 years. Research indicates that racial issues may underlie disproportionate discipline rates (Saft and Pianta, 2001; Skiba et al., 2000; Chen, 2013). This session will present research from a doctoral dissertation examining the ways White teachers perceive and respond to student behavior based on race. Participants in the study were 125 White teachers from school districts in New England that reported disproportionate discipline rates. Findings from this study have implications for the field of education and the problem of disproportionate discipline rates. Using activities based upon the Kagan Model for Cooperative Learning, participants will self-reflect on their own beliefs and biases, use multiple lenses to review information shared by others, and collaborate in small and large groups to offer take-away strategies to disrupt inequities in education.
