The subject of this empirical research is a comprehensive view of the impact of functionality and dysfunctionality of the family on the emotional skills of children in relation to sex, age of children and the family structure. The main objective of the research is to determine whether there is a link between functionality and dysfunctionality of family and emotional skills of children in relation to sex, age of children and the family structure. The study used the basic, general, and data collection methods (test method). Test method, scaling technique was used in the empirical part of the research for data collection using instrument questionnaire of emotional competence. In accordance with the hypothesis of research we were examined whether there is a statistically significant difference in the level of development of emotional abilities between the functional groups of children from families and groups of children from dysfunctional families in relation to age (12-13, 14, 15 and 16 years), in relation to gender (male and female) in relation to family structure (complete and incomplete). The results showed that the statistically significant difference and clearly defined border between the groups in relation to: emotional abilities and age (12-13 years) - Analysis MANOVA p = .011 and discriminant analysis p = .011; emotional skills and gender (male) - Analysis MANOVA p = .042 and discriminant analysis p = .046; and emotional skills, and family structure (incomplete) - Analysis MANOVA p = .138 and discriminant analysis p = .069. The results showed that it was possible to define the characteristics, the homogeneity of the group and the distance between them, which confirmed that children from functioning families in relation to these variables have developed skills of emotional intelligence of children from dysfunctional families.
The Church, the Pulpit, and the Poor. the Role of Preaching in Poor Relief Efforts in the Thinking of Samuel Mccomb (1864-1938)
Authors: Simuț Ciprian
Published: February 2025

The problem of the poor has been a constant in the life of nations. There have always been poor people to whom society, governments, and the Church have been looking in various ways across the ages. One important aspect is the way the Church has behaved in relation to the poor, because it is the institution that preaches a certain kind of moral code, and a certain kind of human value. This paper focuses on the role of preaching and the role of the Church in poor relief efforts, as presented in the writings of Samuel McComb (1864-1938). The main argument in the thought of McComb is that the Church will always need to be involved in poor relief efforts, but not simply by helping the poor with material needs, but also by offering spiritual guidance. These efforts should be coupled with the preparing of the believers to be directly involved in poor relief, based on a moral code, which is presented and explained from the pulpit.

Phosphorylation plays important roles in biology by modulating the structure, reactivity, and biological function of a broad range of molecules. Biocatalytic phosphorylation has attracted attention from synthetic chemists due to its selectivity and mild reaction conditions using ATP as a phosphate donor. Given the potential synthetic utility of kinases with activity on small molecule substrates, we explored the activity of PsiK, the enzyme responsible for selective 4-O-phosphorylation of 4-hydroxytryptamine or psilocin in psylocybin biosynthesis by Psilocybe cubensis. We find that PsiK has good activity on a range of substituted phenols and benzenediols beyond its native substrate, enabling preparative phosphorylation of different substrates and gram-scale phosphorylation of a representative substrate with a turnover number over 10,000.

INVESTIGACIÓN INTEGRAL Y ESPECIALIZADA EN LA PREVENCIÓN Y SANCIÓN DE LA CIBERDELINCUENCIA
Authors: Carhuas Huamán Leónidas Santiago , Velazco Lévano Nilton César Velazco Lévano
Published: February 2025

La investigación tuvo como objetivo describir el enfoque integral y especializado en la prevención y sanción de la ciberdelincuencia. Se trató de un estudio descriptivo con revisión sistemática, considerando 15 artículos científicos de acceso abierto publicados en los últimos cinco años, en función de las variables analizadas. El enfoque fue cualitativo, empleando una guía de revisión sistemática como instrumento. Los resultados muestran que el 70% de los autores señala que las investigaciones incluyen denuncias de robos masivos de información. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los países carece de una normativa específica y sólida para sancionar estos delitos, además de herramientas especializadas para su investigación, lo que vulnera los derechos de los ciudadanos. Por otro lado, el 30% de los autores indica que, en países desarrollados, los ciberdelitos afectan principalmente a grandes empresas, mientras que los ciudadanos son víctimas de forma más esporádica debido a hackers más selectivos. Aunque estos países cuentan con normativas robustas y emplean medidas preventivas como la codificación extrema de datos, enfrentan dificultades para lidiar con bandas criminales extranjeras. Se concluye que la investigación integral y especializada para prevenir y sancionar la ciberdelincuencia es insuficiente. Los vacíos legales y normativos, junto con la falta de tecnología y recursos adecuados, limitan la capacidad de los sistemas de justicia para abordar de manera efectiva este tipo de delitos.
Bridging science and halal: creating a communication plan and materials for
halal-compliant food products of the Department of Science and TechnologyIndustrial Technology Development Institute
Authors: Manalo M.R. , Falco M.E.M.F.
Published: February 2025

Halal science involves the systematic acquisition of knowledge through observation,
experimentation, and practice to describe and explain natural phenomena involving halal
practices. However, communicating this knowledge to the public through traditional
scientific manuscripts can sometimes lead to confusion and misinterpretation, particularly
among non-experts. To address this, a contextual model of disseminating information was
employed to effectively convey the true meaning of halal to stakeholders involved in
handling and manufacturing halal food. In this study, a science communication plan was
prepared to raise awareness among food manufacturing industries in the Philippines
(where almost 90% of the population are non-Muslims) on halal and cultural sensitivity
and to encourage them to become halal-compliant. Various science communication
materials, including rundown sheets for broadcast media, opinion pieces, editorial
calendars, brochures, infographics, and elevator pitches, were developed specifically for
halal-compliant food products developed by the Department of Science and Technology -
Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST-ITDI). These materials facilitated
stakeholders' understanding of the importance of halal compliance and provided a
comprehensive view of the Halal Assurance System. Overall, the initiatives taken in this
study enhanced the amount of information that can be communicated to stakeholders,
resulting in a better understanding of halal compliance and its importance in food
manufacturing.

Fruit wine products derived from Vietnamese fruit sources are increasingly gaining
popularity and preference among consumers in the market. However, the assessment of
influencing factors and the optimization of fruit combinations in fruit wine production
remain underexplored. The objective of this study was to survey the main factors affecting
the quality of banana-pineapple wine after fermentation using commercial yeast strains.
From there, appropriate technological parameters were determined to create bananapineapple wine products of high quality in terms of color, taste, and nutritional
components. In this study, anaerobic fermentation utilizing the Saccharomyces cerevisiae
yeast strain was employed to produce the wine product. At the same time, the resulting
product had an average alcohol content of about 12 - 14% v/v. The fermentation process
of banana-pineapple juice has been adjusted to mixing ratios of 5 - 10% and 15% v/v to
create environmental conditions for yeast growth. In addition, pH was adjusted from 3.5 -
5.5, and total soluble solid from 20 - 28°Bx. After the fermentation process, the results
showed that the fermentation solution with an initial mixing ratio of 15% v/v with an
initial pH of 4.5 and a total soluble solid of 24°Bx would create the best quality fermented
banana-pineapple wine product. The product had an ethanol content of 13.74% v/v. In
green bananas, tannin precipitation occurs when combined with fruit protein, forming a
precipitate. In wine production, after a fermentation period, this precipitate settles,
contributing to a more precise final product and enhancing its quality. Therefore, an
appropriate blending ratio is needed to achieve high-quality wine without compromising
the yeast fermentation ability

Published: February 2025

This study analyzed and explored social practices and community-based movements for gender justice carried out by the females of Muhammadiyah. To this point, there has been a duality in supporting the epistemological construction, which is the status of women and their role in the public sphere. This study employed a qualitative interpretive approach with an ethnomethodology approach by conducting observations, conducting interviews, and being involved in social dynamics activities and community-based education. This study was conducted in Malang City, with the consideration that there are social dynamics and community-based movements carried out by Muhammadiyah’s females for gender justice. Informants in the research were Muhammadiyah Regional Leaders, Aisyiyah Regional Leaders, Nasyiatul Aisyiyah Regional Leaders, active members of Muhammadiyah, and Muhammadiyah mothers who were involved in social activities with gender ideology. The data were analyzed by inductive data analysis. This study found out that the social dynamics and community-based education movement for gender justice carried out by Muhammadiyah’s females are as follows: (1) religious activities, disseminating the amr ma’ruf nahi munkar movement and Islamic egalitarianism; (2) education and advocacy on women’s issues (local dynamics); (3) agency, which was divided into mainstream groups (conservative-literal, rational-praxis), and religion’s critical-reinterpretation group for gender justice.

Published: February 2025

The study aims to examine the vowel series in the Ngeno-Ngene dialect of the Sasak language, which is commonly spoken by students at universities in Lombok. More specifically, it investigates the number of vowel series and their impact on the pronunciation of English by these students. Data for this study were collected from students at Universitas Gunung Rinjani in Lombok, Indonesia, representing eleven villages in East Lombok. The study used a qualitative method, which included observation and interviews. The findings revealed a total of 22 vowel series in the Ngeno-Ngene dialect. The study also emphasized how these vowel series influence the pronunciation of English by students. It indicates that students tend to carry over vowel sounds from their native language when pronouncing English words with similar vowel series. This effect is attributed to an unsupportive language environment and a lack of opportunities for speaking practice and listening comprehension.

Authors: Adnan Muhammad , Marwiyati Marwiyati , Zurriyani Zurriyani , Thahira Zia
Published: February 2025

Son preference remains prevalent in various communities, influencing intra-household resource allocation and potentially affecting child health outcomes. This study examines the impact of maternal son preference on stunting and wasting among children in Indonesia, utilizing data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) waves 4 and 5. Employing a logit regression model, the analysis incorporates various socioeconomic and demographic factors to estimate the effects of maternal son preference on child malnutrition. The findings indicate that while there is no significant correlation between maternal son preference and stunting incidence, a notable increase in the risk of wasting among boys and a reduction in wasting among girls were observed in households where mothers exhibited a son preference. These results underscore the complex interplay between gender biases and child health, highlighting the need for gender-sensitive health interventions. This study contributes to the literature on gender disparities in child health by providing empirical evidence on the nuanced effects of maternal son preference, offering critical insights for policymakers seeking to promote gender equity and improve child welfare in Indonesia.
Fiqh Reform in the Sultanate of Aceh Darussalam: Is it Modernism or Moderatism? A Study of the Hareuta Sihareukat Custom
Authors: Sabil Jabbar , Faisal Faisal , Zukhdi Muhammad
Published: February 2025

The custom of joint property in marriage exemplifies the Fiqh reform during the Sultanate of Aceh Darussalam. Some authors link this custom to the issue of women’s equality that strengthened in the 1970s. However, it raises questions about the paradigm that underlies this custom: Did the Acehnese ulema adhere to the same paradigm as modern thinkers? The authors hypothesize that the paradigm underlies this custom is moderate because it moderates between women’s property ownership dimension and the dimension of the family’s living needs. The primary data for this study are legal materials in the form of law books, regulations, and constitutions of Aceh Darussalam Sultanate. Therefore, the authors conducted normative legal research with a historical approach. The authors used Gadamer’s dialogical hermeneutics to moderate the subject and object as a dialogue partner. This study found that Acehnese ulema, who served as chairman of the Supreme Court (Qāḍi Mālik al-’Ādil), was moderate in Aqida, Sharia, and Siyasa, so the moderate paradigm influenced the law system in The Sultanate of Aceh Darussalam. It resulted in the fiqh reform, which means compatibility between the opinions of the ulemas and the needs of the people. It concluded that the fiqh reform carried out by the Acehnese ulema was moderation.

Published: February 2025

This study investigated the influence of identity politics on Indonesia’s electoral dynamics during the 2014 and 2019 elections and evaluates the role of the National Police Security Intelligence Agency in addressing these challenges. Amidst the backdrop of low political literacy and the pervasive influence of social media, religious and ethnic tensions were notably manipulated for electoral gain. The research employed qualitative methods, including interviews, observations, and document analysis, primarily conducted in Jakarta. It revealed that the National Police adopted a "cooling system" intelligence strategy to effectively mitigate conflicts arising from identity politics while also considering the impact of global political trends on local scenarios. This study contributes to the development of an operational intelligence policing model, offering strategic insights for managing identity-based conflicts in democratic elections. This research not only enriches the academic discourse on electoral security and democracy but also provides actionable insights for policymakers and law enforcement agencies aiming to uphold democratic integrity amidst challenging political climates.
Nauczanie i studiowanie literatury u progu „Osobliwości”

„Osobliwość” to „hipotetyczny punkt w przyszłym rozwoju cywilizacji, w którym postęp techniczny stanie się tak szybki, że wszelkie ludzkie przewidywania staną się nieaktualne; głównym wydarzeniem, mającym do tego doprowadzić, byłoby stworzenie sztucznych inteligencji przewyższających intelektualnie ludzi.” Mówi się o niej od połowy XX w., lecz dopiero w ciągu ostatnich kilku lat perspektywa osiągnięcia „Osobliwości” wyraźnie się urealniła i przybliżyła. Na naszych oczach epoka Gutenberga, epoka książki drukowanej jako głównego nośnika informacji, zbiorowej pamięci i idei, przemija. W programach szkolnych i planach studiów humanistycznych ciągle jednak wiele miejsca (a tym samym środków, czasu i energii) poświęca się na nauczanie literatury. Czy jednak u progu tak rewolucyjnych przemian ma jeszcze sens czytanie, studiowanie i wykładanie literatury? A jeśli nawet tak, to jaką literaturę warto dzisiaj czytać i studiować? I w jaki sposób o niej mówić, jak jej nauczać? Wydaje mi się, iż odpowiedź na postawione powyżej pytania może być pozytywna – pod warunkiem jednak, że uda nam się przełamać edukacyjne schematy, spojrzeć na teksty literackie w szerokim kontekście kultury i osiągnąć umiejętność tzw. „głębokiego czytania”. Proponuję przyjrzeć się temu na przykładzie kilku wybranych brytyjskich tekstów literackich powstałych w zeszłym i obecnym stuleciu.

Authors: Vidyaningtyas Hurianti , Iskandar . , Hendrawan . , Pramudita Aloysius A.
Published: February 2025

This study tackles the growing challenge of inter-user interference in Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) systems, particularly as user density increases in modern communication networks. The primary objective is to improve system performance by implementing a downlink sectorization strategy, which groups users into distinct sectors to manage interference and optimize resource allocation. A Sequential Power Allocation (SePA) algorithm was introduced to enhance power distribution within sectors, aiming to maximize both user capacity and overall sum rate. The methods employed included detailed simulations comparing the performance of traditional NOMA systems and those incorporating sectorization. The results demonstrate that sectorization can significantly boost the system’s sum rate by up to 25% and reduce decoding errors by as much as 51%, particularly when the number of users per sector is kept under 20. However, performance saturation occurs beyond this threshold, where additional users do not contribute to further improvements. The novelty of this research lies in applying spatial sectorization to NOMA, showing that spatial sectorization can minimize intra-sector interference, improve power efficiency, and maintain reliable communication in high-demand environments such as the Internet of Things (IoT). This study provides valuable insights for optimizing NOMA systems, crucial for next-generation wireless networks. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2025-09-01-017 Full Text: PDF

Published: February 2025

This study explores the integration of open innovation in education with a focus on technology and cultural aspects, aiming to foster improvements in educational management and policy within Oman learning environments. The research investigates the relationships between technological literacy (TL), cultural compatibility (CC), human face-to-face communication methods (HFtFCM), and student motivation and engagement (SMaE). A survey was conducted among 1,436 Oman students, and the data were analyzed using partial least squares and structural equation modeling to assess the moderating effects of TL and CC on these relationships. Results indicate that incorporating TL and CC as moderators significantly strengthens the mediation framework, enhancing the connection between HFtFCM and student perception of communication effectiveness (SPoCE). Specifically, the p-value decreased from 0.11 to 0.005, highlighting increased statistical significance, and the path from HFtFCM to SPoCE to SMaE improved from -0.051 to 0.071, demonstrating a stronger mediation effect. Conversely, the indirect effect from Technology-Based Communication Methods (TBCM) to SPoCE to SMaE decreased from 0.047 to 0.008. Additionally, notable paths such as TL → SPoCE and CC → SPoCE emerged, illustrating the enhanced explanatory power of these moderators. Conclusion: These findings underscore the potential of TL and CC to elevate student engagement and communication effectiveness, offering valuable insights for educational policy development and leadership programs. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2025-09-01-025 Full Text: PDF

DYNAMICS AND TRENDS OF FEMALE STARTUPS IN THE JAPANESE ENTREPRENEURIAL ENVIRONMENT
Authors:   The University of Tokyo, Nesterova Ksenia A.
Published: February 2025

The Japanese government has been focusing more and more on the
involvement of women in the socio-economic life of the country. Thus female
entrepreneurship in Japan is gaining momentum every year. The Ministry of
Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan and private economic funds note quite
effective techniques and interesting innovations of female startups. Despite the
active implementation of high technologies and new methods in entrepreneurial activity by Japanese businesswomen, the number of registered companies
does not exceed 1–2% in the last decade. Moreover, Japanese women entrepreneurs in the high-tech sector have to cope not only with the general gender
issues typical of the Japanese entrepreneurial environment, but also have to
face unique challenges of the startup sector. However, the low competitiveness
in terms of quantitative indicators relative to male businesses is fully compensated by qualitative indicators. The restructuring of women’s companies, their
transformation from “unicorn” to “zebra”, as well as the growth of results and
the related widening of the femtech market, indicate the positive dynamics and
relevance of women’s business projects in the current Japanese economy. It is of

GONE BEYOND THE RIVER. FUNERAL TRADITIONS AND CONCEPTS OF DEATH IN THE CULTURE OF THE HAMAR OF SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA
Authors:   Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People (CAHJP), Kireeva Natalya M. , Khoroshen’kii Il’ya A. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: February 2025

The study examines the funeral traditions and concepts of death
among the Hamar people of Southern Ethiopia, demonstrating the resilience
of ritual practices. Comparing contemporary field data with materials from
Marcello Ricci’s 1930s expedition and the extensive ethnographic work of
Jane Lydall and Ivo Strecker in the 1970s reveals that key elements of burial
rites have remained largely unchanged despite significant socio-economic
transformations in the region. The research analyzes the Hamar funeral
tradition, consisting of two separate stages: initial burial and a subsequent
farewell ritual (duki bula). This practice reflects a complex understanding
of death as a gradual transition to the world of the dead, affecting both the
physical body and the social persona of the deceased. The interval between the
two ceremonies serves as an adaptation period for both the deceased’s soul and
the community. The concept of the afterlife, located beyond the Omo River,
demonstrates a horizontal model of the universe where the world of the dead is
perceived as a mirror image of the living world. This concept strengthens the
connection between the worlds, manifested in regular but mediated interactions
between the living and ancestral spirits (meshi). Of particular interest is the burial ritual of chiefs (bitta), illustrating how the social status of the deceased
influences funeral traditions. The case of the unburied bitta Elto shows how
society can adapt traditional practices to maintain social stability in the face of
challenges. The study contributes to understanding the connections between
funeral traditions, cosmology, social structure, and adaptation mechanisms to
change in traditional societies.

The article attempts to trace the evolution of circumcision as it
depicted in the Tanakh, from the narrative of Zipporah circumcising her son
(Exodus 4:24–26) to the story of God’s covenant with Abraham (Genesis
17:10–14). Through the analysis of multiple biblical texts and the semantics of
the phrase “blood groom,” it is suggested that circumcision, in its original form,
was a part of the wedding ceremony, a rite of passage into a new lineage and
social status. Being an integral part of the life-cycle rituals of an archaic society,
circumcision couldn’t simply be forgotten or entirely replaced by Jewish
tradition after the spread and establishment of monotheistic beliefs. Thus, it
remained in cultural memory but underwent a reinterpretation, becoming an
obligatory ritual for men entering the covenant

This article examines the problem of accepting proselytes
(“neophytes”) and their role in the modern Old Believers. The relationship
between “hereditary” and newly arrived members of the community is not
always clear in the Old Believer environment, and who can be designated by
the term “neophyte” is a very controversial issue. The lexical meaning of this
word has undergone some metamorphoses among the followers of the old
faith and is endowed with negative connotations. The study was based on a
survey of informants living in different regions and belonging to different
denominations; the method of participant observation and literary sources was
also used. The author analyzes different types of Old Believer proselytes, based
on the classification of E. E. Dutchak. Along with this, the reasons for changing
the confession and choosing in favor of the Old Believers are considered, for
which a “new theory” was used within the framework of the market concept
of religion.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the Passio Perpetuae
et Felicitatis (hereafter Passio), in many respects a unique monument
of early Christianity. It considers the theological and mystical aspects
of Passio against the background of other early Passions, especially the
Martyrdom of Polycarp of Smyrna, the Epistles of the Martyrs Lugundus
and Vienne, and the Martyrdoms of Carpus, Papylus and Agathonica, but
also the Acts of Justin the Philosopher, the Passion of Potamiaena and
Basilides and the earliest Christian texts on martyrdom—the description of
the killing of the first martyr Stephen in Acts and the Epistle to the Romans
by Ignatius of Antioch—are taken into account. The authors do not discuss
the problems of influence and borrowing and other important parameters
of the study of Christian antiquities. Following the course of PseudoCyprian of Carthage’s ‘Praise of Martyrdom’—we seek to identify what are
the common features of the ancient Passion, and in what Passio is quite
distinctive. The authors conclude that some features of the martyrdoms
outlined in other texts become full and complete in Passio, while others
appear in the studied text for the first time and constitute the originality
of its theology.

Abstract
The food enzyme acylglycerol lipase (glycerol‐ester acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.23) is produced with the genetically modified Penicillium sp. strain AE‐LGS by Amano Enzyme Inc. A safety evaluation of this food enzyme was made previously, in which the Panel could not complete the safety assessment due to insufficient data to characterise the production strain and the composition of the food enzyme. In the current application, the applicant requested to extend the use of the food enzyme to include two additional food manufacturing processes. For the same reasons as stated in the previous assessment, the Panel could not complete the evaluation of the extension of use.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to explore the concept of organisational resilience,
to profile Polish startups and to identify and analyse factors influencing their resilience in the
face of changing market conditions, with a particular focus on those that determine their ability
to overcome crises; and to draw conclusions on how these young companies can prepare for
possible changes and challenges in the environment.
Methodology: The study was conducted using desk research and field research methods,
which included a literature review, statistical analysis and a questionnaire interview method.
Findings: the study found that the key factors influencing the resilience of startups are
organisational flexibility, rapid decision-making, management commitment and effective risk
management. Startups that manifest these characteristics have a greater ability to adapt and
survive in the face of crises. Strategies such as optimising costs, developing offerings and
attracting diverse sources of funding have also proven to be important.
Research limitations/implications: The study was limited in scope due to the small research
sample, limited to six startups, hence the research can be described as a pilot study and the
results obtained can serve as hypotheses in future research on a larger sample of respondents
using a variety of analytical tools.
Practical implications: Research findings suggest that Polish startups should invest in the
development of flexible management structures and risk management strategies, which may
increase their chances of survival and growth in a volatile market environment. Applying the
research findings may help startups to be better prepared for potential crises.
Social implications: Promoting the organisational resilience of startups can increase the
stability of the startup sector in Poland, which can have a positive impact on the economy and
create new jobs.
Originality/value: The article brings a new perspective on organisational resilience factors in
the context of Polish startups. The paper is addressed to management researchers and
practitioners who are interested in the topic of startups, and to startup leaders looking for
effective strategies to cope with market challenges.
