Exploring Stylistic analysis of lexical layer: An In-depth Study of Abdul Qayum Qawim's Poetry
Authors: Fayez Fatana , Arya Mohammad Qasem
Published: May 2024

The 'multi-layered stylistics' approach is a contemporary method for examining and evaluating the lexical, phonetic, syntactic, rhetorical, and ideological aspects within a text. Through the application of multi-layer stylistics, it is possible to discern the distinctive characteristics of an individual's style, thoughts, and ideologies that shape a poet or writer's written compositions. The aim of this study is to analyze and assess the lexical characteristics of a poem compilation written by Abdul Qayum Qawim. The objective is to determine the degree to which a thorough analysis and study of complex notions, such as sensuous, abstract, wonderful, slangy, and others, has been conducted at the level of language. The research employed a descriptive-analytical strategy by utilizing the library technique. This work meticulously analyzes the lexical layer of Abdul Qayum Qawim's poetry using a comprehensive stylistic analysis approach. The research is structured into two primary sections: initially, a comprehensive analysis of the poem's lexical layer is undertaken, followed by a meticulous examination of the poem's theoretical aspects. This study explores the concepts of ideology and investigates several themes like moral evaluation, societal dissatisfaction, pessimism, the passage of time, lack of mutual comprehension, concern towards instability, and the avoidance of hypocrisy. Its aim is to enlighten the general public through the use of uncomplicated poetry that highlights the abundance and vitality of spring. The research indicates that the poet exhibited a profound comprehension and extensive knowledge of contemporary affairs by skillfully portraying diverse social realities through the significance of his verses. Furthermore, the poet's method demonstrated a keen focus on the underlying meanings inside the text, highlighting the convergence of time, conceptual ideas, and human experiences, alongside the utilization of descriptive language that appeals to the senses.

Published: May 2024

Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of death among women with cancer worldwide. Nevertheless, key challenges must be addressed, as new therapies can be employed to support the main treatment and enable a better quality of life, survival and prognosis. In this paper, we described the role of omega-3 and vitamin D supplementation in patients during the main treatment. This is a systematic review of the literature from randomized clinical trials, following the PRISMA and PICOS guidelines for elaborating the guiding question and constructing the results. Our findings in this review reveal and support that omega-3 and vitamin D supplementation can help women with metastatic disease who are not receiving hormone therapy during BC treatment for HR+ (hormone receptor positive). They improve immunity and antioxidant capacity and decrease cardiometabolic effects. This intervention is safe and can be employed as an adjuvant to the other main treatments.

Published: May 2024

The Product Life Cycle (PLC) is a concept that likens a product to animate objects because its life span ranges from introduction to decline. Products can further be likened to human beings to the extent that the lengths of their cycles vary among products, ranging from a few seasons to several decades. This study investigates the effective sales promotion for elongating the product life cycle in a developing economy. This study is designed using a quantitative approach through a survey questionnaire. A total of 100 Coca-Cola Nigeria PLC employees and product consumers participated in this study. The data was analyzed using a regression linear model by assisting SPSS-23. This study concludes that sales promotion is one crucial promotional mix element organizations need to identify and stimulate customer needs and wants. It performs the function of raising awareness of the product to the customer. It increases market share, which, in the long run, helps to sustain its life cycle, especially when perfectly used with other marketing mix elements like price, product, and place. The implication is that the location for redemption of prizes, for instance, in a bonanza, must be easy, or it will weaken the effectiveness of the sale’s promotional activity. The findings of this study recommend that companies improve product availability when needed, especially from the production plant to the depot. The promotional strategies should be communicated in the native language of the target market or audience.
French Colonial Policies in West Africa: Power Dynamics, Cultural Impositions and Economic Legacies
Authors: Benjamin Kehinde Tola
Published: May 2024

The complex dynamics of French colonial policies in West Africa during European imperialism played a crucial role in streamlining administrative procedures and consolidating control over the indigenous African population. This colonial framework not only imposed a distinct sense of identity on African communities but also created deep stratification within these societies. Implementing the direct rule system, an essential aspect of French colonial administration, facilitated imposing laws and regulations that often marginalized traditional authority structures. As a result, a symbiotic relationship emerged between the African colonies and France, with the former serving as essential suppliers of resources crucial for sustaining France's growing industrial enterprises. This paper delves into the intricate nuances of the French colonial policies and their enduring impact on West Africa. By critically examining the assimilation and association policies, the study elucidates the power dynamics, cultural impositions, and economic implications that characterized the colonial experience of French colonies in West Africa. Unpacking the complexities of the colonial governance framework highlights the systemic disparities and cultural alienation perpetuated by the French colonial apparatus, underscoring the persistent socio-economic challenges and cultural subjugation that continue to shape the contemporary West African landscape. By exploring historical injustices and postcolonial complexities, the study emphasizes the urgent need for a holistic and inclusive approach to postcolonial development, advocating for preserving cultural heritage and promoting equitable socio-economic progress within the region.

Published: May 2024

The issue of free sex is not an old story, and this incident happens almost every day to friends, family, neighbors, and even on social media. Free sex is a global issue that still occurs today and is reported in various countries, including the Aceh region of Indonesia. The problem is that discussing sex education is still considered taboo by some mothers, even with their teenage daughters. This research aims to describe (1) An understanding of sex education, (2) How adolescents receive sex education, and (3) How the role of interpersonal communication between mothers and adolescent girls is related to conveying knowledge about sex education. This research uses qualitative methods using several references from journals and books. The research results show that: (1) Sex education is a knowledge skill that must be immediately given to teenagers regarding sexual behavior to avoid anything that can cause negative effects. (2) Teenagers need information about sex education issues from those closest to them, including mothers. (3) The role of mothers is crucial in providing sex education to teenage girls so that they are not affected by free sex, even though this is considered taboo.

Published: May 2024

Athletes' inability to return and pursue their athletics is primarily motivated by their fear of re-injury. Sports injuries have been recognized as a significant deterrent to further physical exercise. This study aims to evaluate evidence-based strategies and interventions for preventing sports-related injuries, including pre-participation screenings, suitable training programs, equipment modifications, and injury prevention programs. A systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) approach was used to gather, choose, and analyze publications on preventing sports injuries. Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), ProQuest, and Springer Link were used as databases for the study. The inclusion and exclusion criteria apply to the study.Adequate treatment of sports-related injuries aids in the recovery of injured parts of the body and the prevention of future injuries. Athletes, coaches, and sports medicine specialists can collaborate to reduce the frequency and severity of sports-related injuries, encouraging safer and longer-lasting physical activity participation. Policies that reduce the likelihood of injuries players sustain can be achieved by implementing these evidence-based strategies and interventions into sports training and competition protocols
Manevi Danışmanlık ve Rehberlik Bağlamında Kriz Durumlarındaki Manevi Terapötik Bilişsel Şemalar
Authors: Karlık Zeynep
Published: May 2024

Bu makalenin amacı, manevi danışmanlık ve rehberlikte kriz duru-muyla karşılaşan danışana mevcut bilişsel şemalarını genişletecek yeni terapötik bilişsel şemaların kullanıldığı bir yaklaşım önermektir. Öne-rilen bu yaklaşımla danışan, yaşamda başına gelen olayları daha geniş Tanrı şeması, kader şeması, anne-baba şeması, ölüm şeması vb. gibi şemalarla değerlendirdikçe bakış açısını değiştirebilir. Bu ise kriz ola-rak yorumladığı durumlarla gelişiminin bir parçası olarak tesadüfen değil, aşkın/ilahi bir plan doğrultusunda karşılaştığını fark ettirebilir. Bu bağlamda makalede (a) travmatik krizlerden (i) doğal felaketler, (ii) maddi kayıplar, (iii) hastalık ve sakatlık durumları, (iv) boşanma ve (v) ölüm ile (b) gelişimsel krizlerden (i) evlenme, (ii) çocuk sahibi olma ve (iii) emeklilik durumlarıyla karşılaşan danışanlara mevcut bilişsel şemalarının gelişmesini sağlayacak modern psikoloji, din psikolojisi ve İslam psikolojisi kuramlarından oluşan bilişsel şemalar sunulması hedeflenmiştir. McIntosh, şemaların bilişsel işlemi hızlandırmak ve diğer şemalarla bütünleşmek suretiyle anlamlandırmayı kolaylaştırma olmak üzere iki temel işlevi olduğunu vurgulamıştır. Kriz durumlarıy-la karşılaşan danışanlar, yaşadıklarını anlamlandırmaya çalışmakta; an-cak anlam veremediği durumlarda mevcut bilişsel şemalarıyla duru-mu değerlendirmektedir. Doğru oluşturulmuş bir bilişsel şemayla, danışanın problemle karşılaşması durumunda ona kestirme metot ve yollar sunması hedeflenmektedir. Örnek olarak, bu dünyadan sonra yaşam şeması olan danışan, kaybettiklerine daha güzel bir şekilde ka-vuşacağını düşünerek yaşadığı olayın üstesinden daha kolay gelebilir. Ancak, danışandaki mevcut şemalar kriz anlarında işlevsiz kalırsa ya-şanan olaylar anlamlandırılamamakta ve başa çıkma sağlanamamakta-dır. Bu durumun bir diğer sebebi de danışanların kalıp ve önyargılar içeren şemalarını değiştirmeye dirençli olmalarıdır. Özet olarak, mev-cut bilişsel şemalar bazı durumlarda yeni tecrübelerin özümsenmesi-ni sağlayabilirken bazı durumlarda ise danışanın yeni gelişmeleri doğ-ru şekilde kavramasını engelleyebilmektedir. Bundan dolayı bu maka-lede, danışanların mevcut zihinsel şemalarını genişletecek ve başa çıkma süreçlerinin olumlu geçmesini sağlayacak bilişsel-dinî şemalar oluşturulmuştur. Sonuç olarak, makalede, hayata farklı bir açıdan bakmayı kabul eden danışanların yeni bilgilere erişmek suretiyle biliş-sel şemalarını genişletmesi hedeflenmiştir. Kriz durumları karşısında danışanların bilişsel şemalarını nasıl pozitif yönde farklılaştırabileceği ortaya konularak, onların kriz durumlarıyla başa çıkmalarına katkı sağ-lamayı hedeflemektedir.
Desenvolvimento histórico da cadeia produtiva de feijão-comum: questões institucionais
Authors: Assunção Paulo , Wander Alcido
Published: May 2024

This research examines the historical process of forming the common bean production chain in Brazil, discussing deregulation and restructuring processes. During much of Brazil's agricultural history, common beans evolved as an intercropping crop, planted with corn or cassava. The rural exodus process (with two movements, in 1960 and 1980) caused the demand for beans within the country, resulting in higher yields for farmers, which generated the evolution and development of specific technologies for the crop. What is observed is that the chain coordination process was hampered by tax laws, which removed middlemen from the negotiations, and was also hampered by the competition of beans with more competitive products on the international stage.

Authors: Citraningtyas Clara Evi Candrayuli , Cendana Wiputra
Published: May 2024

The role of artificial intelligence (AI-based) English games in enhancing English communication skills among Indonesian Generation Z (Gen-Z) for whom English is a second language (L2), is the main focus of this study. Questionnaires to collect data consisted of both open and closed-ended questions. Seventy-eight Indonesian Gen- Z from different parts of Indonesia participated, and provides a strong representation of the country. This study is aimed to address a gap in the present literature by directly engaging with game players and examining their perspectives and experiences with actual games that they play for enjoyment rather than games designed for educational purposes. The study’s findings show that English AI-based games significantly help respondents develop their vocabulary, improve comprehension, and acquire confidence in English speaking. The findings also indicate that English AI-based game learning is favoured over traditional methods. The respondents noted gaming's immersive and interactive aspect as beneficial to language acquisition and skill development. These findings emphasise the transformative potential of English AI-based games in language learning and advocate for their integration into educational frameworks to better fulfil the needs of L2 learners, particularly Gen-Z.

The CaO content of the three samples has a percentage of >48%, while the average MgO content does not exceed 6%, so it can be concluded that the limestone in the study area has good quality for cement raw materials.
Nature's Intrinsic Value
Authors: Steyn Benjamin ,   Center for Environmental Philosophy, The University of North Texas
Published: May 2024

Environmental ethicists often make claims about the intrinsic value of nature or parts thereof. Advances in intrinsic value theory, most notably Ben Bradley’s ‘Two Concepts of Intrinsic Value,’ successfully cleave the concept of intrinsic value into two: a Moorean and Kantian variety. This paper seeks to classify and organize different environmental theorists within a Bradley-inspired framework, helping to bring clarity and charity to the claims of older and newer environmental ethicists. These two types of intrinsic value help explain why different thinkers have differing intuitions on e.g., culling cases. As well as valuing nature suis generis, the paper considers the value that might accrue from other relational properties in nature, such as beauty, biodiversity, and rarity.

Published: May 2024

The demand for increased physical as well as psychological healthcare facilities is driving up concerns about an ageing population, especially in resource-constrained countries. Older adults in Pakistan experience insecurity due to a number of social and economic causes. In such situations, when conventional family care is unavailable or the elderly lack resources like housing, old age homes offer services to the elderly. The present quantitative study aimed to ascertain the demographic profile of the elderly population residing in an old age home or Aafiat, investigate the factors that contribute to their residence in an old age home, examine the physical and mental health challenges experienced by those receiving residential care, and find out the elderly population's satisfaction level with the services provided by the old age home. However, this article merely addressed the issues with older people's physical and mental health and how satisfied they were with the services and facilities the old age home offered. It was a cross-sectional study, and in order to gather data, interviews were conducted with each of the 25 inmates who were present at the Lahore old age home/Aafiat. According to the findings, the majority of respondents expressed high satisfaction with the level of services received; however, the data revealed that the elderly in the old age home experienced several challenges linked to their physical and mental health.
Profit rate convergence in the European economic area: A panel data analysis
Authors: Trofimov Ivan
Published: May 2024

This paper examines profitability disparities across the European economies using the aggregate and sectoral data for the period from 1995 to 2019 and applying a combination of panel unit root tests and the club convergence procedure. For most of the sectors, no convergence was identified at the aggregate level. Convergence within the clubs to multiple equilibrium levels, however, was identified. This convergence pattern was the most typical in the knowledge-intensive service sectors. The exogenous shocks had temporary effects on the economies' profit rates (thus contributing to convergence), whereas the country and sector-specific profitability components were characterized by stochastic behavior (attesting to nonconvergence). Overall, the persistence of profitability disparities was demonstrated. The findings suggest the importance of the firm-specific and local profitability drivers and the limited effects of the macroeconomic and competition policies on profit rates.
Are entrepreneurship and human capital the drivers of regional growth?: Evidence from NUTS 3 sub-regions in Serbia
Authors: Molnar Dejan , Josipović Sonja , Baškot Bojan
Published: May 2024

The paper presents different concepts of regional economic growth, according to which the educational structure of the working age population and entrepreneurial activity significantly contribute to the improvement of economic performance. It also analyzes the role of the entrepreneurial activity and the quality of human capital in regional economic growth in Serbia in the period from 2011 to 2020 using a sample of 25 NUTS 3 level sub-regions. The results of the evaluation of the three selected panel models indicate that entrepreneurial activities play a vital role in the growth of gross added value at the level of the sub-region. Given the fact that the main theoretical and numerous empirical findings suggest that bearers of regional development should be entrepreneurs who possess the appropriate knowledge, abilities, creativity and skills, the recommendation for the creators of public policies is to continuously work on improving the business climate and building a stimulating entrepreneurial environment. Such an environment can encourage highly educated individuals to become the key bearers of entrepreneurial activities.
