This article explores the rise in sexual extortion against minors in Malaysia, primarily due to their increased reliance on online platforms for socialisation. The rise from 30 incidents in 2022 to 191 incidents in 2023, has made children vulnerable to online predators, indicating the current legal framework lacks specific provisions addressing this issue. The primary issue is Malaysia’s legal framework’s inadequacies in dealing with the specific crime of sexual extortion against children. The Sexual Offences Against Children Act (SOACA) 2017 and the Penal Code, while existing laws, do not specifically address this issue. The method of this research contrasts Malaysia’s legal framework to South Carolina’s Law. The article compares SOACA and the Penal Code of Malaysia to South Carolina’s Gavin’s Law, which focuses on pursuing sexual extortion of children. The study involves a literature review, investigation of legal terminology, systematic research strategy, surveys of parents and practitioners, and study of gaps in Malaysian legislation. The study also draws on empirical data from child rights organisations like ECPAT that shows the prevalence of sexual extortion. The finding shows the current legal framework in Malaysia is insufficient to combat the increase in sexual extortion against children. Such as Section 383 of the Penal Code, make it difficult to prosecute violators successfully. The paper suggest, Malaysia should model its legal framework after South Carolina’s Gavin’s Law, which provides stronger juvenile protection. The recommendations emphasise the need for legislative reforms, better law enforcement, and international cooperation to improve child protection in the digital age.
Considerații despre antropologia centrului în basmul fantastic românesc. Motivul Arbor Mundi
Authors:   Academia Română, Muzeul de Artă Veche Apuseană, Cioancă Costel
Published: November 2024

Homo sapiens have always been fascinated by the presence of impressive trees in their world. Especially in archaic societies that did not know/use writing, such real representations will easily pass into mythical thinking, having the role of translating, verisimilizing, adapting the unreal according to the respective community’s own needs for understanding and valorization. In the imaginary-representation‑memory cultural relationship regarding the symbolism given to the tree/wood over time, the Romanian space could not be an exception. Adapting a mythical matrix of reference, the popular mentality imagined it based on its own needs for symbolic representation and valorization. Being positioned by the anonymous creator between the real and the symbolic, such trees discovered in the fairy tales anthologies are not accessible to anyone, they are „extra‑mundi” located, they are matrices of other realms/worlds: multilayered and mineral, worlds discovered by the hero in a tree are inhabited by fantastic beings of fairy tales and are mythologically connoted such as the days of the week, a dragon, unnamed ascetics/saints or fairies, etc.
Trei legende ale Sf.Andrei
Authors:   Muzeul Etnografic al Transilvaniei, Sălăgean Tudor
Published: November 2024

In Romania, Saint Andrew is linked to several legends that exemplify his significance in pre‑Christian traditions. Three of these tales were collected by rural educators and published in periodicals dedicated to folklore from 1894 to 1914. The earliest legend, characterized by its ancient structure and popularity, was published in 1894 in the periodical Șezătoarea, being collected by Radu Marinescu and sourced from Heciu, Suceava. The second version, as documented by Ștefan Stelian Tuțescu, a teacher from Balota, Dolj, stands apart due to the lack of heroic components, emphasizing instead the distinct characteristics of the apostle Andrew as described in the oriental apocrypha. The third legend, which was published in 1914 by teacher Ion N. Popescu in the annual supplement of the Ion Creangă magazine, is likely to have originated from Vâlcea County. Their structure reflects the effects of the changes in society in the early 20th century and the personality of its transmitters.

Constelația Cassiopeia ca bază a calendarului neolitic

Published: November 2024

Mișcarea lentă de precesie a axei de rotație a Pământului cauzează ca direcția polului nord de azi – spre Polaris (alfa UMi) –, să fie alta în neolitic – lângă steaua Thuban (alfa Dra) –, astfel constelația Cassiopeia nu era circumpolară în această perioadă. Cum știm, constelațiile circumpolare sunt acelea care se află la odistanță de cel puțin 30 de grade de polul nord geografic în emisfera nordică, eleniciodată nu răsar și nu apun, par să facă o întoarcere completă în fiecare zi. În neolitic mișcarea aparentă pe cerul nocturn a constelației Cassiopeia a fost atât de fascinantă și marcantă prin forma sa, încât se poate considera constelația de bază a perioadei neolitice din sud‑estul Europei. Prezentăm studiul mișcării aparente a constelației Cassiopeia în perioada neolitică legat de simbolurile, semnele M și W găsite pe obiectele descoperite din această perioadă.
Păsări neolitice pe Cerul nopții

Published: November 2024

Până de curând, originea păsărilor a fost unul dintre marile mistere ale biologiei, deoarece păsările sunt dramatic diferite de toate celelalte creaturi vii, mai ales că zborul lor era greu de înțeles. Știm că păsările sunt lucrători sanitari ai pădurilor, răspândesc semințe, fertilizează solul, oxigenează aerul și contribuie la stabilizarea climei. Mai mult, migrarea păsărilor reprezintă mutarea în masă a acestora, din unele ținuturi în altele, în concordanță cu anul agrar, în vederea reproducerii și în căutarea unor condiții prielnice de trai. În acest sens, anul agricol și cel pastoral au fost fixate în deplin acord cu ritmurile biologice ale păsărilor specifice latitudinii geografice a României. În neolitic, găsim clădiri și artefacte care erau decorate cu păsări. De exemplu, zeița păsării apare pe figurinele atribuite culturii neolitice Vinča. Aceste figurine prezintă corpuri feminine combinate cu un cap de pasăre. În preistorie, păsările au răsărit pe cerul nopții, ca și constelații. Astfel, apariția anuală a unor grupări de stele strălucitoare denumite după unele păsări s-a folosit ca și repere luminoase pe cerul nopții în timpul anului agrar

The impact of global climate change on diverse regions is significantly influenced by their geographical location, resource distribution, energy availability, and socio-economic development level. Currently, there is a prevailing emphasis on climate change mitigation over adaptation measures, a trend prominently observed in global governmental policies. This inclination is rooted in a widespread lack of awareness among governments and the public regarding the imperative of adapting to global climate shifts. This study investigates how climate change shapes developmental patterns and adaptation strategies across various regions through the lens of development geography. Addressing the lag in climate change adaptation measures compared to mitigation efforts is crucial from both regional and economic development perspectives. Nations must undertake proactive measures to mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change on ecosystems and societies, fostering regional sustainable development to ensure holistic regional prosperity. This paper examines the implications of climate change on agriculture, water resources, human health, energy dynamics, disaster risk, and employment within the framework of development geography. Finally, drawing upon principles of development geography, this article proposes strategies for mitigating the impacts of climate change and advancing regional development and adaptation efforts
Una Bibliografía de las formas
Authors: Irene Ortega López
Published: November 2024

El presente artículo recorre una serie de prácticas de escritura que plantean un nuevo uso del texto dentro del contexto de la investigación artística en el ámbito académico y que conformaría la denominada  “bibliografía de las formas”. Una aproximación que, lejos de atender a los textos como portadores de un conocimiento reproducible e iterable, rescata lo sensible y particular de cada uno de ellos. Atender a lo que el texto comunica desde su forma, así́ como los modos en los que se produce la escritura y la lectura. Un ensayo visual compuesto de imágenes-texto, que supone un cruce entre prácticas artísticas y prácticas de escritura.
¿Cómo podemos cualificar el tiempo en el momento presente?
Authors: Durcelina Maria Coelho de Oliveira
Published: November 2024

Abordamos un enfoque sobre el tiempo, al extender nuestro interés por todo, sin aprovechar siquiera un momento de pausa, para ahondar en nosotros mismos y realizar un verdadero cambio a través de la auto-percepción. Cuanto más nos predisponemos a vivir el presente, más cualificamos nuestro tiempo de forma inmensurable. El tiempo no para, mas permite concienciarnos de nuestras elecciones de forma armoniosa, fluida y productiva. Así, podemos observar el ritmo de aceleración o desaceleración del movimiento que nos lleva a sentir un estado de confort o de incomodo en la acción. Y cuándo interiorizamos, aquietamos nuestras emociones, sea a través de la respiración o de la meditación. Las artes son una herramienta que nos permite sumergirnos en nuestro interior, como relata el profesor Fernando José Pereira de la Facultad de Bellas Artes de la Universidad del Oporto, Portugal, "la temporalidad y las decisiones sobre el tiempo, condición estructural de los humanos, se convierten así en uno de los elementos políticos más importantes para las prácticas artísticas".

ТИПИКОН О ВОЗГЛАСАХ И ЧТЕНИИ
Authors: О.В. Ануфриева
Published: November 2024

Типикон не излагает последовательно требований к интонированию разных текстов или возгласов, его краткие предписания не системны и "рассыпаны" по разным главам. Эта книга создавалась внутри действующей, звучащей традиции, однако для нашего времени представляется необходимым суммировать замечания Типикона о различных типах произнесения богослужебных текстов, обозначить очертания целостной системы, а не случайного выбора той или иной манеры интонирования. Нотные примеры, специально взятые из разных источников, показывают стилистическое единство канонической традиции.

The Typicon does not consistently state the requirements for the intonation of different texts or exclamations. Its brief prescriptions are not systematic and are "scattered" in different chapters. This book was created within the actual, sounding tradition, but for the present time it seems necessary to summarize the remarks of the Typicon about various types of pronouncing liturgical texts, to define the outlines of a complete system, and not a random choice of a particular manner of intonation. Musical examples, specially taken from different sources, show the stylistic unity of the canonical tradition. Key words: Typicon, architectonics of divine service, psalmody, chant-like reading, exclamation.

«ФИЛОСОФСКИЕ ОБРЫВЫ» ПРЕПОДОБНОГО ИУСТИНА (ПОПОВИЧА)
Authors: С.В. Ряполов
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматривается критика рационализма и антропоцентризма в философии сербского религиозного мыслителя, богослова, прп. Иустина (Поповича), как источников нигилистического бунта в европейской культуре. Рационализм как вера в безграничные возможности человеческого разума, безусловно, является мировоззренческим основанием современного образования. Потому его критическая оценка с позиции православной философской мысли может быть отнесена к числу актуальных проблем современной философии образования, требующих рассмотрения в контексте выстраивания самостоятельной русской философской и педагогической культуры.

The article examines the criticism of rationalism and anthropocentrism in the philosophy of the Serbian religious thinker, theologian, St. Justin Popović, as sources of nihilistic rebellion in European culture. Rationalism as a belief in the limitless possibilities of human mind is certainly an ideological foundation of modern education. Therefore, its critical assessment from the standpoint of Orthodox philosophical thought can be considered to be one of the urgent problems of modern philosophy of education that requires discussion in the context of building independent Russian philosophical and pedagogical culture.

Father Gennady rightfully received high priestly awards. He was granted the Christian peaceful end of life.

Using Interactive Whiteboards (IWB) in the English Classroom as Supporting Technology in the Teaching and Learning Process: Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Fitria Tira Nur
Published: November 2024

This research describes the teachers' and students' perception of using Interactive Whiteboards (IWB) and explain the opportunities and challenges of using IWB in English classrooms. This research uses library research. IWBs are large interactive displays used as input devices for computers. They can be used in educational institutions combining traditional presentation benefits with cutting-edge technology. IWB technology consists of a digital board, computer, and projector, which can be linked to a personal computer for easy use. It offers various tools including graphics, word processing, database, and multimedia tools. Using IWB as an educational tool increase new knowledge, provide innovations to students, improve the quality of students’ learning, facilitate interaction between teaching teams and students, improve teaching efficiency, and reduce paper usage. IWB has been found to significantly improve students' English skills, vocabulary proficiency, engagement, and attitude. However, implementing IWBs in schools presents challenges including large costs, insufficient technical support, technical issues, lack of adequate e-materials, limited time for lesson preparation, negative attitudes, lack of consensus among decision-makers, inadequate proficiency, and inadequate teacher training. Teachers need to master this technology so they can use it effectively in teaching. It is proposed that teachers receive training on utilizing IWBs more efficiently in various classroom settings.

Authors: Tunde-Awe Bolajoko Margaret
Published: November 2024

Technology such as ChatGPT is central to effective instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL) pedagogy. However, language educators and students must have a shared understanding of its prospects to be used successfully in an academic setting. While extant studies have established its proliferation among students, this study investigated the sense-making of language educators as regards ChatGPT and its implications on assessment practices. A descriptive research design of the survey type was adopted for this study. The population of the study were forty-three university language educators and five hundred and five pre-service teachers who were purposively selected from two higher institutions in Ondo State, Nigeria. Self-structured questionnaire titled: Sense-making of ChatGPT among Language Educators Questionnaire (SCLEQ: r = 0.87) and Students’ Utilization of ChatGPT Questionnaire (SUCQ: r = 0.81). Three research questions were answered in this study. Findings revealed that students, to a very great extent, use ChatGPT to ace their essays (¯x=3.7) but then again, there is a gap-in-knowledge regarding its uses among university language educators (¯x=1.8). On the basis of these findings, the study recommended that language educators should get acquainted with AI tool and its applications in ESL pedagogy and also be creative on the best assessment mode given the reality on the ground.

Authors: Emmanuel Isaac Friday
Published: November 2024

Reading is significant for learning; however, many Nigerian secondary students struggle. In developed nations, teachers engage their students via different online learning apps to complement classroom instruction and improve this skill. However, the same cannot be said for Nigeria, as no established online learning Apps exist. This study, therefore, investigated the effects of Google Classroom on secondary school students' reading comprehension in Ondo State, Nigeria. A quasi-experimental and descriptive research design was adopted for the study. The study population was eighty Senior Secondary School students who were purposefully selected from two secondary schools in Ondo State. The research instruments were the 2022 English Language WAEC questions and the Students' Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) r = 0.85. Two research questions were raised, and two research hypotheses were tested. The study's findings revealed that students taught reading comprehension using Google Classroom performed better (`X̅ = 29.98) than those taught using the conventional method (`X̅ =18.88). Similarly, the study's findings revealed that students held a positive attitude toward using Google Classroom for reading comprehension. On the basis of these findings, among others, the study recommended that English language teachers should explore the affordances of Google Classroom to teach reading. Furthermore, schools should allow the controlled use of phones, while the government should organize training for teachers on how to use Google Classroom effectively.

This study aims to design and implement animated stickers as an educational medium for drug abuse prevention using the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method. The MDLC process includes six phases: concept, design, material collection, development, testing, and distribution. In the concept phase, the educational goals and target audience are defined. The design phase involves creating visual sketches and animations using Adobe animate. In the material collection phase, relevant information about drug abuse is gathered from trusted sources. During the development phase, the animated stickers are created, incorporating visual and textual elements to convey anti-drug messages. The testing phase evaluates the effectiveness of the stickers using a survey of 100 adolescents aged 13-18 years. The results show a significant increase in understanding of drug abuse, with a 48% improvement in comprehension after exposure to the animated stickers, as measured by a Likert scale survey. The effectiveness was primarily evaluated based on user feedback regarding visual appeal, message clarity, and motivation to avoid drugs. The final phase involves distributing the animated stickers through social media platforms and messaging apps, targeting a broader audience. This study demonstrates that animated stickers are a highly effective tool for increasing drug awareness among young people

Traditional culture is a vital part of a community's identity, yet in the era of globalization, cultural elements are often threatened by modernization, which can blur local identities. This study explores the application of the Design Thinking method in integrating the Surjan Jogja motif into visual communication design, focusing on how the design can preserve cultural meaning while remaining relevant in contemporary times. The research employed a qualitative approach, utilizing the five stages of Design Thinking: empathy, problem definition, ideation, prototyping, and testing. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 respondents, including designers, batik artisans, and cultural figures, as well as direct observations of the creative process. The results show that 80% of respondents appreciated designs that integrated the Surjan motif, with many stating that the design offered deeper meaning compared to products without cultural context. The study found that the application of Design Thinking produced innovative visual solutions and strengthened local cultural identity amidst globalization. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of integrating traditional elements in visual communication design to preserve local culture. The practical implications of this research are significant, as it provides a framework for the development of culture-based design and opens opportunities for further research on the application of this method in other cultural contexts, thereby offering a practical guide for designers and cultural researchers interested in preserving local culture through design.

Abstract. Ground-based measurements of elemental carbon (EC) – classified under thermal-optical methods and considered as a surrogate for black carbon – are essential for assessing air quality and evaluating climate impacts. However, data gaps caused by technical challenges impede comprehensive analyses of long-term trends. This study proposes an ensemble learning method to address these challenges. The model uses readily accessible ground observation air pollutant data as proxies for EC-related tracers, along with meteorological parameters, to enhance prediction accuracy. It integrates outputs from Gradient Boosting Regression Trees, eXtreme Gradient Boosting, and Random Forest models, combining them through ridge regression to produce robust predictions. We applied this approach to reconstruct hourly EC concentrations from 2013 to 2023 for four cities in Eastern China, filling 45–79 % of missing data and improving prediction performance by 8–17 % compared to individual models. Over the 11-year period, EC exhibited an overall decline (-0.20 to -0.14 µg m-3 a-1), with a more significant decline from 2013 to 2020 (-0.24 to -0.15 µg m-3 a-1) from 3.26 µg m-3 to 1.59 µg m-3, followed by a noticeable slowdown from 2020 to 2023 (-0.12 to -0.04 µg m-3 a-1). Additionally, a fixed emission approximation method based on ensemble learning is proposed to quantitatively analyze the drivers of long-term EC trends. The analysis reveals that anthropogenic emission controls were the predominant contributors, accounting for approximately 92 % of the changes in EC trends from 2013 to 2020. However, their influence weakened post-2020, contributing approximately 80 %. These findings highlight that while China's Clean Air Actions implemented since 2013 have significantly reduced black carbon concentrations, sustained and enhanced strategies are still necessary to further mitigate black carbon pollution in the country.

Abstract. This study presents the first-ever detection of a winter continental gamma-ray glow in Central Europe, observed during a rare winter thunderstorm on Milešovka hill, Czechia. Unlike typical gamma-ray glow events, which are usually linked to significant electric field increases, this unique observation reveals that no substantial electric field change was recorded during the glow, challenging existing models of thunderstorm-related radiation. The event was captured using a combination of advanced instruments, including a Ka-band cloud profiler and a high-energy gamma-ray spectrometer, which enabled detailed analysis of the storm's microphysics. The radar data indicated the alignment of ice crystals within the cloud, strongly suggesting the presence of a substantial electric field, despite its weak measurement on the surface. This unexpected decoupling of electric field strength and gamma-ray glow generation opens new avenues for understanding the processes driving high-energy phenomena in thunderstorms. The findings offer valuable insights into winter thunderstorm dynamics in continental climates, with broader implications for the study of high-energy atmospheric physics.

Abstract. Oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs), key components of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are either directly emitted or secondary generated via photochemical processes, and play a crucial role in tropospheric photochemistry and act as important ozone (O3) precursors. However, due to measurement limitations, the influence of OVOCs on O3 formation has often been underestimated. In this study, 74 VOCs (including 18 OVOCs) were measured at five representative stations in Zibo, an industrial city in the North China Plain. The VOCs level in Zibo (44.6±20.9 ppb) is in the upper-middle range compared with previous studies, with OVOCs contributing 30.0 %~37.8 % to the total VOCs concentration. The overall O3 formation potential in Zibo is 410.4±197.2 µg m-3, with OVOCs being the dominant contributor (31.5 %~55.9 %). An observation-based model (OBM) was used to access the contributions of chemical production (RNetProd) and emissions/transport (REmis&Trans) to individual OVOC. Daytime RNetProd is the highest at the urban site (5.9 ppb h-1), while nighttime REmis&Trans is most significantly negative at the industrial site (0.76 ppb h-1). Simulations without OVOCs constraint overestimates OVOCs (42.1 %~126.5 %) and key free radicals (e.g., HO2 (5.3 %~20.4 %) and RO2 (6.6 %~35.1 %)), leading to a 1.8 %~11.9 % overestimation of O3. This overestimation causes an underestimation of OH (1.8 %~20.9 %) and atmospheric oxidizing capacity (3.5 %~12.5 %). These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive OVOCs measurements to constrain numerical models, especially in regions with dense anthropogenic emissions, to better reproduce atmospheric photochemistry, and to formulate more effective air pollution control strategies.
