Published: January 2025

As China’s influence in the international market grows and the global economic and trade environment becomes increasingly severe, it is urgent to cultivate-level and versatile international business negotiation talents. This paper, based on the OBE (Outcome-Based Education) concept, points out the problems in the bilingual teaching of international business negotiation, such as students’ lack of initiative in learning, the lack of suitable bilingual teaching materials, the disconnection between theory and practice bilingual teaching of international business negotiation, and oversimplified evaluation systems. It also proposes solutions such as bringing front-line personnel into the classroom, the CPBL + ESP model, and the PIP teaching evaluation model, to meet the current market employment needs.
A review of childhood immunization coverage in Pakistan
Authors: Malik Muhammad A. , Siddiqui Muhammad M.
Published: January 2025

Background: The Pakistani Government has prioritized and invested substantial resources in expanding childhood
immunization, aiming to increase coverage to > 90%. It is therefore important to track progress towards achieving this
target.
Aim: To track progress on childhood immunization coverage in Pakistan at baseline, at endline, and at 2 important
milestones (2005 and 2010).
Methods: Using 2001 as baseline, we collected milestone data (2005, 2010, 2015) on childhood immunization from the
Pakistan Social and Living Standard Measurement Survey for children aged 1–5 years. We analysed the data using STATA
version 15.1 and used the concentration index for bound variables to analyse equity in coverage.
Results: Immunization coverage did not follow a consistent upward trend, and it varied by province. Over the 15-year
(2001–2015) period, childhood immunization coverage increased substantially. Although more than 80% of 1–5-year-old
children were vaccinated by 2015 at the national level, Pakistan missed the Millenium Development Goals targets for
childhood immunization. Only Punjab Province achieved the targets for childhood immunization (92.0% in Punjab vs
82.5% at national level). Higher socioeconomic status increased the odds of being vaccinated while living in rural areas
decreased the odds.
Conclusion: To improve childhood immunization coverage in Pakistan and achieve the related Sustainable Development
Goals targets, it is important for the government to set targets at the provincial level, allocate more resources and continue
to track progress regularly until 2030

Utilization of geocoding for mapping infrastructure impacts and mobility due to floods in indonesia based on twitter analytics
Authors: Taufiq Muhammad Imam , Girsang Abba Suganda
Published: January 2025

Flooding, a frequent natural disaster in Indonesia, is caused by several factors such as high-intensity rainfall, climate change, inadequate drainage and urban infrastructure challenges, impacting communities, infrastructure and economic activities. The lack of accurate and centralized data hinders government efforts to identify affected areas and respond effectively. Named Entity Recognition (NER), a machine learning-based information extraction tool, offers the potential for geocoding flood-related data from social media, such as Twitter. The purpose of this research is to develop a Named Entity Recognition (NER)-based model to extract location information from Twitter and visualize flood impacts through geocoding. The method used is a combination of Qualitative Analysis with Machine Learning and Geospatial Analysis to assess flooding impacts using Twitter data. Initially, a qualitative analysis of tweets extracts flood-related keywords to identify patterns. Then, Named Entity Recognition (NER) identifies locations, which are converted into geographic coordinates through geocoding for map visualization. The results show that location extraction from flood-related tweets using the Named Entity Recognition (NER) model and geocoding produces very useful and accurate data. About 50% of the flood-related tweets included location tokens, which shows the importance of geographic information in understanding the impact of disasters. The location extraction process using the NER model proved to be effective, although there were some discrepancies between the extracted location tokens and the actual geographic data, especially at the more detailed location level. However, the evaluation results show that 99.5% of the extracted locations correspond to valid locations, especially in the Indonesian region. This shows that the use of the NER model and geocoding is highly effective in analyzing flood impacts and provides significant benefits in disaster management and geospatial analysis based on social media data.

Published: January 2025

This study aimed to thoroughly explore the manner in which green marketing can be incorporated alongside halal principles to influence consumer behavior, market dynamics, and brand positioning. Generally, green marketing emphasizes sustainability, transparency, innovation, and consumer engagement, while halal principles ensure compliance with Islamic Sharia standards. The convergence of these methods has been observed to typically address the increasing demand for products that are both environmentally and ethically compliant. For instance, brands such as Kiva and Zalal Foods have successfully adopted effective integration strategies to ensure the production of eco-friendly halal-certified products, which, in return, enhanced brand reputation and consumer trust. During the course of this study, challenges associated with the integration of green marketing and halal principles, including stricter material selection and dual certification processes, were also discussed. The results showed that integrating green marketing and halal principles led to the development of a unique value proposition, allowing brands to meet evolving consumer preferences and positioning each producer as a leader in sustainable and ethical markets. This integration was observed to be particularly essential for expanding market share, fostering brand loyalty, and addressing growing awareness of social and environmental responsibilities among global consumers.

IMAGINÁRIO SOCIAL EUROPEU NA COLONIZAÇÃO DO MÉXICO: Uma análise do discurso eclesiástico da “Crónica de la Nueva España” (1560)
Authors:   , Batista Maria Alice Ferreira
Published: January 2025

O presente estudo tem como foco principal abordar a influência dos discursos eclesiásticos,
enquanto representação do imaginário cristão europeu, no processo da colonização espanhola
no México, na segunda metade do século XVI. Nesse sentido, utilizaremos o documento
"Crónica de la Nueva España" (1560), escrita pelo humanista espanhol Francisco Cervantes de
Salazar, como fonte primária para o debate, entendendo a narrativa como uma representação do
discurso eclesiástico colonial, enquanto uma projeção do imaginário social europeu na
colonização do México no período em questão. Destacando a natureza espiritual da
colonização, liderada pelas ordens religiosas da Igreja Católica, o texto discute como as
estratégias de sujeição dos indígenas estavam intrinsecamente ligadas à narrativa de conversão
católica, legitimada pela luta contra a idolatria e a presença demoníaca nas práticas culturais
nativas. Além disso, no presente trabalho o imaginário cristão europeu é explorado em seu
contexto histórico, revelando seu impacto nas motivações do colonialismo espanhol baseadas
em uma fé providencialista medieval, que permeou na Idade Moderna do Renascimento. Ao
criar um antagonismo cristão entre espanhóis e mexicas, na luta entre o bem e o mal, as políticas
colonizadoras resultaram em explorações físicas, naturais e psicológicas, incluindo a destruição
de instituições e a apagamento da memória indígena. Ainda, este estudo destaca como as
representações dos indígenas, construídas pelo imaginário cristão europeu, buscavam
transformá-los em sujeitos não-históricos através da narrativa eclesiástica, que justificou as
práticas violentas dos espanhóis durante a colonização.
Hierarquia Universal das Necessidades: Uma Nova Visão sobre as Motivações Humanas Segundo a Neurociência
Authors:   , Tabajara Tiago Cavalcanti de Albuquerque
Published: January 2025

Com quase 80 anos a Teoria da Motivação Humana de Maslow, tem enfrentado
questionamentos quanto à sua aplicabilidade no cenário contemporâneo
marcado por intensas mudanças socioculturais e avanços na neurociência.
Diante disso, a presente dissertação tem como foco principal avaliar se tais
transformações levaram à redefinição da célebre hierarquia das necessidades
de Maslow. Para isso, empregou-se uma metodologia qualitativa, utilizando uma
amostragem baseada na população economicamente ativa e aplicando um
survey com escala nominal apresentando dilemas da atualidade. A pesquisa
evidenciou que os avanços recentes nos campos da psicologia e neurociência
demonstram que aspectos relacionados à saúde mental e à manutenção do ego
assumem uma importância crucial no processo de ressignificação das
hierarquias das necessidades no cenário atual. Através da análise dos dados,
constatou-se uma demanda crescente por reconhecimento e valorização na
sociedade contemporânea, sugerindo que as motivações ligadas ao valor
individual e ao ego podem, de fato, ter se tornado mais prioritárias do que
aquelas anteriormente propostas por Maslow. Tal descoberta aponta para uma
nova hierarquia das necessidades, com ênfase especial na compreensão sobre
o desejo do ser humano de ser importante e em suas demandas do ego. Ainda
que Maslow tenha ressaltado a primazia das necessidades fisiológicas, o
presente estudo sublinha a importância do ego e das manifestações fisiológicas
nos seres humanos diante do cenário atual da sociedade. Dessa forma, propõe
uma nova perspectiva sobre a teoria, que reflete melhor as motivações humanas
no contexto contemporâneo.

The Effect of Using Real-Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging on the Perception of EFL Vowels
Authors: Aljasser Faisal
Published: January 2025

This study investigated the influence of real-time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rtMRI) videos as an innovative tool for enhancing learners' perception of English vowel sounds among Arabic-speaking learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Utilizing a pretest-intervention-posttest design, the study involved forty participants who were equally divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received targeted perception-based instruction that incorporated rtMRI videos, delivered in three weekly sessions of thirty minutes each. In contrast, the control group underwent a similar instructional approach but without the use of rtMRI technology. To assess learners' progress, two tests were administered during both the pretest and posttest phases. The first test focused on the subjects' ability to associate vowel sounds with their corresponding articulatory features, while the second test evaluated their overall perception of vowel sounds. Analysis of the post-test results revealed significant improvements in the vowel-feature association test exclusively for the experimental group. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Authors: Suntararak Suteera , Boonkate Kittikoon
Published: January 2025

Polymeric materials, known for their lightweight and strength, are widely used today. However, their non-biodegradable nature poses significant environmental challenges. This research aimed to develop biodegradable films from fruits and vegetables, using alginate as a binding agent. Using a completely randomized design, seven experimental sets were prepared with carrots, Kimju guava, and Namwa banana peel fibers as the primary materials and alginate as the secondary material at three levels: 1.2, 1.8, and 2.4 by weight. The solution technique was employed to create the samples. Upon testing mechanical and physical properties, experimental set 3, consisting of 60% guava and 1.8% alginate, emerged as the optimal ratio. This combination exhibited favorable physical properties, including a thickness of 0.26 ± 0.02 mm, meeting the standards for food packaging films. Additionally, the tensile strength was 0.50 ± 0.01 N/m², and the elongation at break was 55.60 ± 0.44%. Regarding chemical properties, the moisture content of 5.64 ± 0.03% fell within the acceptable range for dried food. Furthermore, a 30-day soil burial test revealed that the sample from experimental set 3 exhibited the highest degradation rate. In conclusion, these findings suggest that guava can be a promising raw material for producing biodegradable plastics suitable for packaging applications.

The fact that Morocco is an agricultural country and the large volume of biodegradable waste produced by the population make composting so important. The degradation of organic matter is facilitated by faunal and floral macro and micro-organisms that act in different stages of maturation; studies on this fauna are quite rare both nationally and internationally. On a sample of two tons of household waste, we documented invertebrates that colonized compost heaps and then assessed the changes in the structure of the invertebrate population during the different phases. Our study revealed the presence of several zoological groups colonizing the compost heaps during the different composting phases; we noted the presence of: (1) Macroscopic invertebrates, in order of number of individuals: insect larvae, ants, earthworms, sowbugs, spiders, springtails, and millipedes, and (2) Microscopic invertebrates, the most abundant in terms of individuals: mites and nematodes. As for the order of appearance, we observed that insect larvae were the first to colonize the compost heap from the very first days of installation, followed by woodlice observed during the thermophilic phase and disappearing towards the end of the process. Earthworms were observed during the end of the thermophilic phase, while springtails were observed more during the cooling and maturation phases. Our study revealed the presence of a good quality of fauna during the composting process, which are indicators of good compost quality and play a major role in the circulation of nutrients, thus ensuring the provision of essential elements for plant nutrition.

Published: January 2025

Tunnels are underground structures that are longer than the width of the excavation. The Meninting Dam tunnel work is one of the main jobs with a very high level of difficulty. This tunnel has a length of 243.44 m and a diameter of 9.4 m. The Meninting Dam Tunnel has a function as a temporary diversion of water from the river to the tunnel so that the main structure of the Meninting Dam is not disturbed by river flow. The tunnel concreting work consists of 3 (three) items, namely reinforcement, formwork and concrete casting. Of the three work items, the work that has the potential to be accelerated is formwork. In the Meninting Dam development project there are two types of formwork, namely conventional formwork and sliding form formwork. Based on the results of calculating the cost, time and quality requirements of the comparison of using conventional formwork with sliding form formwork, it is found that the difference in costs obtained using conventional formwork cheaper than sliding form formwork, and the time difference required in completing the formwork work using conventional formwork and sliding form formwork is 83 (eighty three) days and the quality comparison that has been obtained is that conventional formwork is not neat, not smooth and leaves a lot of wood waste while the quality of sliding form formwork is tidier, smoother and leaves no waste.

Published: January 2025

Advancing Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) seismic technology has revolutionized subsurface exploration, offering unprecedented accuracy and depth in reservoir characterization and production planning. This study proposes a conceptual framework that integrates the latest advancements in OBN seismic technology with innovative methodologies for optimizing hydrocarbon recovery and production efficiency. By deploying autonomous nodes on the ocean floor, OBN technology captures high-fidelity seismic data, overcoming limitations of traditional towed-streamer systems, particularly in complex geological settings and obstructed areas. The framework emphasizes the integration of full-waveform inversion (FWI) and machine learning algorithms to enhance data processing and interpretation. FWI provides high-resolution imaging of subsurface structures, while machine learning facilitates automated pattern recognition and predictive modeling, reducing interpretation errors. These combined techniques enable detailed mapping of reservoir properties such as porosity, permeability, and fluid saturation, which are critical for informed decision-making in exploration and production. The study also explores the role of multi-azimuth and multi-component data acquisition in improving illumination and imaging of complex reservoirs. Additionally, it highlights the potential of real-time data transmission and cloud-based analytics for accelerating workflows and fostering collaborative decision-making across multidisciplinary teams. Environmental and economic considerations are central to the proposed framework. The use of OBN seismic technology minimizes environmental disruption during data acquisition, aligning with sustainability goals. Cost efficiency is addressed through advancements in node design, deployment strategies, and data processing techniques, which reduce operational expenses while maximizing data quality. By offering a comprehensive overview of the technological, methodological, and sustainability dimensions, this conceptual framework underscores the transformative potential of OBN seismic technology in the energy sector. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of reservoir dynamics, paving the way for optimized production planning and enhanced recovery strategies.
Computational propaganda and misinformation: AI technologies as tools of media manipulation
Authors: Samson Olufemi Olanipekun
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study was to investigate how artificial intelligence (AI) influences and improves computational propaganda and misinformation efforts. The growing complexity of AI-driven technologies, like deepfakes, bots, and algorithmic manipulation, which have turned conventional propaganda strategies into more widespread and damaging media manipulation techniques, served as the researcher's inspiration. The study used a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis from academic studies and digital forensic investigations with qualitative case studies of misinformation efforts. The results brought to light important tactics including the platform-specific use of X (formerly Twitter) to propagate false information, emotional exploitation through fear-based messaging, and purposeful amplification through bot networks. According to this research, AI technologies enhanced controversial content by taking use of algorithmic biases, so generating echo chambers and eroding confidence in democratic processes. The study also emphasized how deepfake technologies and their ability to manipulate susceptible populations' emotions present ethical and sociopolitical issues. In order to counteract AI-generated misinformation, the study suggested promoting digital literacy and creating more potent detection methods, such digital watermarking. Future studies should concentrate on the long-term psychological effects of AI-driven misinformation on democratic participation, public trust, and regulatory reactions in various countries. Furthermore, investigating how new AI technologies are influencing other media, like video games and virtual reality, may help humans better comprehend how they affect society as a whole.

Bio-naphtha is gaining importance as a renewable feedstock for fossil naphtha in steam cracking which is one of the most critical steps in the manufacture of ethylene and other olefins within the petrochemical industry. Manufactured from biomass, waste oils, and algae; bio-naphtha is associated with considerable environmental benefits from the lower carbon footprint while also meeting global sustainability goals. This review describes the production routes of bio-naphtha, its chemical and physical properties, and its compatibility with steam cracking technologies as they currently stand. While bio-naphtha exhibits comparable ethylene yields to fossil naphtha and lower impurities, challenges persist due to feedstock variability, pretreatment requirements, and generally high production costs. Of the developing technologies, this review identifies hydrothermal liquefaction and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis as key to the scaling and cost-effectiveness of bio-naphtha. These could be facilitated by the adoption of policy interventions, such as subsidies and blending mandates. Conclusively, coordinated research effort, industry collaboration, and regulatory support will enable biomonomers like bio-naphtha to become key enablers for the decarbonization of the petrochemical value chain and the circular economy.

Authors: Ito Tsumagari Maki
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to unravel how far the concept of leadership development for agility has gone into the curriculum of higher education institutions (HEI) as an indication of their preparedness for educating public servants in the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) policy environment of today. A qualitative, systematic analytical method was adopted by referencing the public policy and administration schools of the world’s top 100 ranked universities in The Times Higher Education World University Overall Rankings 2024. The results were categorized into three executive programs with the potential for leadership enhancement through customized arrangements, two executive programs with the label of “leadership,” and one executive program that specifically addresses agility-relevant leadership development for the VUCA era. The study concluded that leadership development focusing on agility is still at an infancy/early stage of adoption by the world’s public policy and administration schools. This study made a step forward by identifying where the programs are already running, down to the point where the university is running, and which public policy and administration programs. The practical implications of the study reside in its referential value for those governments and/or their professionals in identifying where services are provided.

Using a quantitative approach with a correlational design, the study involved 36 students selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using Gardner's Attitude/Motivation Test Battery questionnaire and vocabulary test scores. The results revealed that students demonstrated moderate motivation levels (mean = 52.92) and good vocabulary mastery (mean = 79.75). Spearman correlation analysis showed a very weak positive correlation (r = 0.133, p > 0.05) between motivation and vocabulary mastery, indicating no significant relationship between these variables. This finding challenges common beliefs about the direct relationship between motivation and language learning outcomes in young learners, particularly in Indonesian Islamic elementary schools. The study suggests that vocabulary learning in young students may depend on various factors beyond motivation, such as teaching methods and classroom environment. These insights can help teachers develop better vocabulary teaching strategies in similar school settings.
