Education: Beyond Theories and Indoctrination
Authors: Angwaomaodoko Ejuchegahi Anthony
Published: August 2024

Modern education acknowledges the inadequacy of traditional methods of teaching and learning, recognizing that mere theories and indoctrination lack depth and innovation. The paper focuses on the ways in which education can move beyond the traditional modes of approach such as indoctrination and theories to usher in new educational methods that are built around critical thinking, inquiry-based learning, and problem-solving. By moving away from such education, educators can create a learning environment within which learners are capable of effectively and critically engaging their content, constructing knowledge, and also being capable of challenging assumptions. Thorough research on Literature reviews and case studies indicated the extent to which transformative educational approaches may empower intellectual curiosity, creativity, and independent thought. This transformational approach presents some challenges. The concerted efforts to overcome these challenges require evidence-based research that is able to demonstrate the effectiveness of the alternative ways. In conclusion, the major aim of education should be to develop well rounded individuals who are not only knowledgeable but also capable of thinking innovatively.
Compositional Organisation in 17th- and 18th-Century Chinese Porcelain Paintings: Specifics and Principles
Authors: Ляхович Е.В.
Published: August 2024

Росписи китайского фарфора в своей организации берут начало в композиционных принципах национальной живописи гохуа, имеющих древнюю историю и установленную систему, связаны с тенденциями и веяниями, характерными для живописного искусства той или иной исторической эпохи, и в то же время проявляют зависимость от моделей и форм собственно изделий из фарфора. Не только ориентация росписей на живописное искусство, но в первую очередь особенности материала и технологической специфики производства регламентируют процесс создания росписей фарфоровых предметов и оказывают определенное влияние на композиционное творчество художников. Уже в XVII–XVIII вв. китайские фарфоровые изделия продемонстрировали высокий уровень мастерства гончаров, изысканный характер самих росписей, не толь- ко удовлетворивших эстетические предпочтения китайцев, но и весьма заинтересовавших иностранцев. В центре внимания настоящей статьи — особенности и принципы композиционной организации росписи китайского фарфора XVII–XVIII вв. Цель статьи — расширить представления о синкретической связи китайского искусства фарфора и живописи, выделить и охарактеризовать основные типы композиционной организации росписи фарфора.

Compositional organisation of Chinese paintings on porcelain originated from the compositional principles of national ink wash painting with its ancient history and established system. These foundations are associated with the trends that shaped the art of a particular historical period, but at the same time they show dependence on models and forms of porcelain products. Not only porcelain paintings’ gravitation towards pictorial art, but primarily the specifics of the material and production technology regulate the process of porcelain painting and have a certain influence on compositional solutions of artists. Already in the 17th and 18th centuries, Chinese porcelain products demonstrated a high level of artistic skill, and sophisticated paintings not only met the aesthetic preferences of the Chinese, but also gained appreciation from foreigners. The article focuses on the specifics and principles of the compositional organisation of Chinese paintings on porcelain in the 17th and 18th centuries. The article aims to expand the knowledge of the syncretic connection between Chinese painting and porcelain and to identify and describe of the major types of the compositional organisation of paintings on porcelain.

Textiles without Borders. Modern Artistic Trends in Textile Art in Russia as Examplified by the Inter-Regional Artistic and Environmental Project “The Other Textile: Another Text/Another Style”
Authors: Хан-Магомедова В.Д.
Published: August 2024

Межрегиональный художественно-экологический проект «Другой текстиль: другой текст/другой стиль», объединяет художников-единомышленников, работающих с экологическими материалами природного происхождения и вторичной переработки. Авторы создают произведения, меняющие привычное представление о текстиле. Каждый из участников не просто уникален своим творчеством, но и ярок нестандартным многогранным подходом к текстилю, отношением к искусству. Они ломают стереотип восприятия художественных материалов, выявляя их новые свойства, изобретая авторские технологии на стыке разных направлений декоративного искусства. Сохранить традиции можно только дав им свободу, сделав современными, позволить меняться согласно движению времени и появлению новых технологий. Наравне с художниками концептуального текстиля из разных стран, отечественные авторы создают актуальные произведения, основываясь на аспектах национальной культуры, сохраняя историческую основу в традиции текстильных техник: ткачества, вышивки, плетения. Выставка, на которой один материал показан через другой, где ткань оказывается стеклом, металлом, глиной, лыком, травой, дает большой творческий потенциал для развития текстильного направления в искусстве.

The inter-regional artistic and environnemental project “The Other Textile: Another Text, Another Style” brings together like-minded artists working with natural and recycled ecological materials. The artists create items that change the traditional views of textile. Each of the participants is unique in the art they create and remarkable in their unconventional, multi-faceted approach to textiles and attitude towards art. They dispel the stereotypes of the perception of art materials, revealing their new properties and inventing original technologies at the intersection of different directions of decorative art. Traditions can only be preserved by giving them freedom, making them modern, allowing them to change with the flow of time and the emergence of new technologies. Along with conceptual textile artists from various countries, Russian artists create topical works based on aspects of national culture, keeping the historic foundation in the tradition of textile techniques: weaving, embroidery, netting. The exhibition where one material is shown through another one, where fabric turns out to be glass, metal, clay, bast fibre or grass offers a great creative potential for the development of the textile direction in art.

This project focuses on analyzing the wear of SIE engines with oils of different viscosity in the cities of Quito (2850 m.a.s.l.) and Santo Domingo (655 m.a.s.l.), to identify the wear of the internal elements of the engine through tribological tests. A 2002 Nissan Sentra B15 vehicle was used and extra 87 octane gasoline, several oil filters for each test, lubricants with viscosity grades SAE 10W30 and 20W50. Likewise, measurements were made at different engine speeds, such as 1500 and 2500 rpm. The data obtained in reference to polluting gases allowed us to observe that 10W30 oil generates higher polluting emissions and higher maintenance costs. Finally, the tribological tests and trials show that oils with the same specification and different atmospheric pressure and viscosity grade, generate different wear on the internal components of SIE engines.

Published: August 2024

The important component of the demographic phenomenon, which exerts direct influence on the labor force and at the same time on the economy, is represented by emigration. Emigration, illegal or legal, to other states, has increased in last years and is a factor of major interest for the state and its institutions, as there is a need for a more precise knowledge of the emigrating, of the causes that favor it or prevents and the effects it produces on the state's economy. In present, the citizens of the Republic of Moldova, driven by poverty, have emigrated to a more decent life in UE countries. According to some experts, the vast majority of the emigrating population is made up of young people and families with children. The Republic of Moldova lost a very large potential of the young population. The most important socio-economic effect is that the country loses its young, well-educated population that is able to work and can contribute to the economic growth of the country. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, more than 350 thousand people leave annually. But these number it cannot be seen how many people permanently emigrate and is a result of the of Romanian citizenship for a majority of the country's population. The most popular destinations for emigrants from the Republic of Moldova are the EU countries, the USA, Canada, and Israel. From a fiscal and budgetary point of view, the loss of labor force is reflected in the support of the financing of public education that would benefit the emigrant's children, of the health system from the services of which the emigrant's family would benefit, and of the financing of the pension system. The purpose of this presentation is to research the phenomenon of labor force emigration in the case of the Republic of Moldova and determine the causes and consequences of the fiscal budget.

In the Amazon, the use of medicinal plants by native populations is an important source of ethnopharmacological knowledge. Vismia guianensis (Aubl.) Choisy is widely used against diseases caused by fungi.  Thus, the aim of this work was to evaluate the antifungal potential of the species Vismia guianensis (Aubl.) Choisy and the influence of extractive parameters on the antifungal activity. Dried extracts were prepared from leaves and tested for activity against the fungal species Candida albicans, Malassezia furfur, and Trichophyton rubrum. The most promising extract was obtained with polar solvents (methanol and ethanol), and no significant difference was measured between the activities exhibited by these extracts (MIC 410 µg/mL). The method of maceration and ethanol:water 1:1 (v/v) presented the lowest MIC and when the extracts were dried in a spray drier showed MIC for C. albicans 1.66 mg/mL; M. furfur 8.0 mg/mL and T. rubrum 1.0 mg/mL. The dried extract from leaves of Vismia guianensis demonstrated significant inhibitory activity against the growth of fungi tested, indicating that this plant has great potential to be an effective botanically derived drug for the treatment of cutaneous mycoses.

Conflict and Organizational Effectiveness: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Olanipekun L. R. , Philips Merai L.
Published: August 2024

As there is nothing pre-determined about its course or development, it seems erroneous to view conflict from a negative perspective only, as destructive or dysfunctional. It is true that conflict may be uncomfortable, it may even be a source of problems, but it is absolutely necessary if change is to occur, if organizations are to survive and adapt. Organizational change and innovation does not just happen, it requires a stimulant. That stimulant is conflict. Administrators must accept the need to influence the developmental dynamics of a conflict, so that the parties’ attitudes and actions will lead to better coordination and a more appropriate interdependence. They must not seek to stifle or eliminate organizational conflict for that is hardly a realistic goal. As Rico has noted, an organization devoid of conflict “ may indicate autocracy, uniformity, stagnation and mental fixity.” It would also be protecting only the vested interests of the status quo. Administrators must accept and indeed occasionally encourage conflict, because change and other desirable consequences are products of conflict. The challenge administrators face is to utilize such conflict management techniques that would ensure that as a conflict passes from a latent to a manifest phase, it proceeds towards its potential and realizes its constructive values.

Collective customer-to-customer co-creation practices: Families with children with autism spectrum and airports
Authors: Cerdan Chiscano Monica
Published: August 2024

While research has shown that customer-to-customer (C2C) value co-creation leads to positive outcomes for people with disabilities, these studies have not addressed how collective C2C can improve value outcomes for families with children with autism spectrum (FwAS) in airports. Our focus is on accessible family tourism and travel in a European airport context, using a value co-creation approach to explore this gap in the literature. To achieve this goal, a collaboration was established with Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport and Vueling Airlines to enable 25 FwAS to visit the airport in 2016. The study extends social situation analysis and uses a multi-method approach combining qualitative techniques such as ethnography and post-visit interviews. Collective C2C social practices were identified in which families, as a unit of study, engage with airport sites. These include standard practices (observing the practices of others), enhancing practices (sharing airport experiences and knowledge with others) and atypical social practices, such as deviating social practices. Our findings will enable airport and airline managers to create more inclusive experiences based on the actual needs of FwAS, thus bringing them closer to truly accessible tourism.
Is visitors’ future loyalty influenced by on-site experience intensity? Examining the mediating role of destination image and the moderating effect of visitors’ origin
Authors: Ferreira da Silva Ana Margarida , Costa Carlos , Martins Filomena , Pita Cristina
Published: August 2024

Few studies have examined the influence of the intensity of visitors’ on-site experience on the formation of in situ destination image or its effects on destination loyalty; however, none appear to have simultaneously examined a mediation (cognitive and affective images) and moderation effect (visitors’ origin; domestic or international) on these relationships. Building upon the mere exposure theory (MET), the aim of the current study is to test the influence of the intensity of visitors’ on-site experience of coastal and maritime cultural heritage (CMCH) attrac- tions on image and loyalty. MET suggests a positive stimulus-attitude effect after repeated exposition to it. Survey data was collected from both domestic (n = 305) and international (n = 181) visitors to the city of Aveiro in Portugal during their on-site experiences. Findings indicate that the intensity of on-site heritage experience is a significant predictor of loyalty and that image partially mediates the effect of on-site experience intensity on loyalty through cognitive image, which is conditioned by visitors’ origin. Interestingly, affective image did not present significant results in the model. Diversifying activities and including local workers are proposed, so that visitors can get to know coastal communities’ heritage better, stay longer, and develop bonds.
Residents' pro-tourism attitudes, intentions, and behaviours: A meta-analysis
Authors: Porras-Bueno Nuria
Published: August 2024

The aim of this paper is to conduct a meta-analysis of 36 studies that analyse residents' intentions and pro-tourism behaviours as dependent variables in the light of the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), focusing on the relationship between the constructs "attitude," "intention" and "behaviour." The results confirmed our three starting hypotheses, two supporting the postulates of the TRA and TPB and a third suggesting a strong effect size and direct correlation between attitudes and pro-tourism behaviours. In addition, the study site and source of research are significant moderators of the relationship between intention and behaviour and between attitude and behaviour, respectively, explaining part of the variability in effect sizes. Nonetheless, overall, the results of the moderation analysis suggest that much of the moderation is due to the heterogeneous operationalization of the analysed constructs.

Published: August 2024

This research note presents the 2020 US Census racial population data for 424 counties (including Roanoke County, Virginia) located within the Appalachian region. Documenting the numerical place of Black people within the region is significant to building regionwide community responses to oppression, discrimination, and White supremacy. As the population tables indicate, Whites are clearly the majority racial group within Appalachia; however, non-Whites are a meaningful part of the region's demographic makeup.
Jan Długosz's Vita Kunegundis as a Source for His Religiosity
Authors: Radzilowski Paul J.
Published: August 2024

The hagiographical works of the Kraków Cathedral Canon Jan Długosz (1415–1480) have received modest attention from scholars as examples of his literary style or mentality and his treatment of topics such as the model of Church-State relations. Nonetheless, compared to his monumental Annales and many of his other works, they remain relatively understudied. This paper examines his Vita Kunegundis as a source for his religiosity. Despite the strict constraints of the genre and despite the fact the work contains little new material in terms of episodes or major turns of narrative—which Długosz derived very largely from an anonymous fourteenth-century predecessor—it is argued that a considerable amount can be gleaned on the subject, as well as related matters such as Długosz's norms for female piety and sense of religious duty. In many cases, it is his elaboration of details, and the shifts of emphasis they bring, which allow for this kind of analysis.
Advertising in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Chen Yalan
Published: August 2024

This article explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the advertising industry, detailing its evolution from traditional to AI-driven methods. Advertising has historically been a crucial medium for promoting messages, with its impact magnified during public health crises. The integration of AI has revolutionized advertising by automating functions such as ad optimization, media buying, and personalized ad creation. AI's ability to analyze large data sets and predict consumer behavior has enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of advertising campaigns, leading to higher returns on investment (ROI). Using a case study methodology, the article examines the social and demographic impacts of AI-driven advertising, particularly on youth and the elderly, and addresses the ethical implications and challenges associated with AI's pervasive use in advertising. Additionally, the case study of Being Patient, an online platform for Alzheimer's disease, illustrates the significant impact of well-crafted AI advertising on business success and community engagement. The article concludes with a call for further research to evaluate AI advertising's reception across different age groups and to develop strategies for its broader acceptance and integration into mainstream practices.
The Analysis of the Writer-Reader Relationship During the Postmodernism Period Based on Foucault's Panopticism Theory
Authors: Hu Jiaming
Published: August 2024

In the postmodern era, the relationship between readers and authors has undergone significant changes. Specifically, the status of readers has risen relative to that of authors. To explore this issue, this paper will introduce Foucault's panopticism theory and analyze the changing power relationship between readers and authors based on this theory. In the analysis, this paper will explore the similar conditions between panopticism and the reader-writer relationship in the postmodernism era to follow a core logic of that those conditions based on the change of reader-writer relationship at that time, finally lead to some phenomena in terms of literature and its market, especially showing the authors' self-descipline. Besides, this paper will mention some literary works and the literary phenomenon of Meta-narrative from the postmodern era to help enrich the core logic. In conclusion, this paper will systematically analyze the factors leading to the changes in the reading and writing relationship during the postmodern period, how panopticism emerges within this relationship, the resultant self-discipline of authors, and the subsequent impacts of these dynamics.

Among the many outdoor sports brands, Arc'teryx stands out and becomes the new favourite of people who love outdoor sports. So how did Arc'teryx become a big hit in the highly competitive outdoor sports market, with sales rising year after year? Currently, there are few detailed analyses of the brand's marketing mechanism and path. Therefore, the theme of this paper is the marketing mechanism and path of outdoor sports products--Taking Arc'teryx as an example. The research method is mainly case study method, mainly focusing on content marketing, analysing how the brand attracts audiences and builds communities through content marketing. The study found that Arc'teryx content marketing helped its own positioning and accurately attracted target customers, and the community experience also strengthened the brand's connection with customers. However, there are also shortcomings: the brand has fewer offline shops nationwide than other outdoor brands, and not all of them have a unique environment like the first shop in Shanghai to attract customers to buy. Arc'teryx still needs to revise its marketing strategy when the outdoor trend goes out of fashion to ensure that sales continue to grow, attract more people to participate in outdoor activities, and also maintain the vitality of the community and its appeal to the outside world. However, there's no denying that other outdoor sports brands can learn from Arc'teryxs marketing.
