Authors: Arhamar A.S. Muhammad , Ismail Ismail
Published: February 2025

Artikel ini mengeksplorasi signifikansi cinta dalam kehidupan manusia dari perspektif filsafat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana cinta, dalam berbagai pandangan filsafat, dapat menjadi sarana manusia dalam pencarian kebenaran dan makna hidup. Metode yang digunakan dalam artikel ini adalah literature review atau studi kepustakaan, artikel ini mengkaji bagaimana cinta digambarkan sebagai kekuatan fundamental yang memengaruhi interaksi manusia, keputusan moral, dan pencarian makna hidup. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa Plato memandang cinta (eros) sebagai motivasi untuk mencari kebenaran dan kebijaksanaan, sementara Aristoteles menekankan cinta dalam bentuk persahabatan (filia) sebagai hal yang esensial untuk mencapai kebahagiaan sejati. Sartre menyoroti tantangan cinta dalam konteks kebebasan dan tanggung jawab individu, sedangkan Frankl menegaskan bahwa cinta memberikan makna dalam hidup, menawarkan individu alasan untuk hidup dan berkontribusi kepada orang lain. Demikian, artikel ini menggambarkan bahwa cinta bukan sekadar emosi, tetapi prinsip vital yang menghubungkan individu dengan diri sendiri, orang lain, dan dunia, memperkaya hidup dengan makna dan kebahagiaan yang lebih dalam.
Enhancing Moral Values through Quran Recitation Activities in Junior High School
Authors: Prasetyo Oky Bagas , Yulianto Yulianto , Munir Muhammad Mubasysyir
Published: February 2025

The social phenomena arising among teenagers today, such as brawls, immoral actions, and similar issues, stem from a lack of moral education among youth. This situation is exacerbated by the fact that fewer teenagers adhere to the teachings of the Qur'an, as they often prefer reading novels or comics that may contain elements of violence and pornography, distancing them further from the goals of Islamic education. Therefore, this thesis will discuss enhancing moral education through a Qur'an recitation program at MI Miftahul Ulum Disanah, Sampang Madura. This study is significant because children are the hope of their parents, society, religion, and the nation. This research employs a qualitative method to describe or illustrate the actual phenomena at the research site. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. To organise the results systematically, the researcher will analyse the data through data reduction, presentation, and verification (conclusions). From the analysis, it can be determined that the improvement of moral education at MI Miftahul Ulum Disanah, Sampang Madura, is implemented through habituation, role modelling, practice, memorisation, and assignment. These activities function well, as evidenced by the graduates who can read and write the Qur'an and perform Sunnah prayers, which they apply daily. Other efforts made by educators to enhance moral education among children include: for teachers, improving the quality of teachers and holding meetings with them; for students, involving them in religious activities, guiding them with Islamic readings, instilling habits of worship, conducting extracurricular activities such as Qira'ah, calligraphy, and Islamic holidays, teaching the fundamental values of religion through subjects like Aqidah, Akhlaq, Tauhid, Tarikh, and others, and providing good examples for the students.

Exploring EFL Learners’ Attitudes Towards the Effectiveness of Recast vs. Explicit Corrective Feedback on Pronunciation
Authors: Bougataia ElGhazi , Brigui Hind
Published: February 2025

This study investigates learners’ attitudes towards the effectiveness of recast versus explicit feedback for pronunciation improvement. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview, with ten EFL pupils in their third year as undergraduates from the English department at Ibn Tofail University participating. The data were analyzed thematically to determine themes related to learners’ perceived usefulness of the oral feedback, namely recast and explicit feedback, and the type viewed to be of greater impact on pronunciation. The findings revealed that learners view both recast and explicit feedback as effective. The effectiveness of explicit feedback was attributed to its clarity, being less time-consuming and ability to highlight errors. For recast, its effectiveness was due to its implicitness, which does little to no harm to emotions. Concerning the type learners perceive to have a greater impact, most learners stated that explicit feedback is more effective due to its visibility, making them cautious of repeating mistakes, unlike recast which is sometimes difficult to realize as corrective. However, one learner went for recast, appreciating its gentle approach and expressing how explicit feedback could trigger stress, making learners focus on their embarrassing situation rather than fixing the error. Additionally, one learner highlighted personal preference as a determining factor in the perceived effectiveness of feedback types. The findings suggest that the effectiveness of feedback is closely related to attitudes. Therefore, teachers could employ corrective methods that are explicit enough while making sure they are not too obvious to avoid harming learners emotionally.
Education as a Moral Compass: Ethical Lessons from Mr. Chips’ Life and Career
Authors: Nawaz Mazhar
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the role of education as a moral compass through the “Model lessons” proposed by the novel, “Goodbye, Mr. Chips”. This paper exemplifies Mr. Chips as ‘Educator’ who, as a teacher and even a human being, embodies the values of fairness, empathy, inclusiveness, emotional intelligence. The qualitative research approach in this paper explores the ethical implications of Mr. Chips’ pedagogical approach and its relevance to our present educational context. The findings illustrate that his comprehensive framework; which balances an academic curriculum with a focus on cultivating moral and emotional wisdom, continues to provide relevant guidance for today’s pressing educational issues, including diversity, equality and student well-being. Mr. Chips’ warm, inclusive, and emotionally intelligent style of teaching continues to be relevant today, as students of all backgrounds are drawn to his example of creating a supportive, ethical classroom environment when they encounter diverse classrooms filled with students who come from different backgrounds. This research teaches us how the ideas of emotional intelligence, ethical leadership, and character education can be put into practice. However, the overall findings indicate that Mr. Chips’ pedagogical and moral legacy provides valuable lessons for educators on how to cultivate well-rounded, empathetic, and socially responsible individuals.
Osteomyelitis of the foot in people with diabetes
Authors:   , Gramberg Meryl Cinzía Tila Tamara
Published: February 2025

THIS THESIS REGARDS – AIMS AND SUMMARY
Aims of this thesis – from diagnosis to pathogen identification and treatment of diabetes related foot infection:

In this thesis, our overarching aim is to advance the understanding and management
of diabetes-related foot infection, from diagnosis to bacterial identification and treatment.

Our first aim is to determine the optimal strategy for diagnosing diabetes-related foot
osteomyelitis. We present a protocol of a randomised controlled trial to compare the
effectiveness of two diagnostic modalities: ulcer bed biopsy and bone biopsy, and we
investigate if there is an association between bacterial profiles and outcome the role of
sampling method on this outcome.

Next, we aim to investigate methods for identifying causative bacteria in ulcer bed and
bone samples from individuals with diabetes-related foot osteomyelitis. By comparing
different techniques, we seek to identify the most reliable method for accurately identifying
the bacteria causative for the infection, thus informing guided antibiotic therapy.

Furthermore, we will explore the impact of prior antibiotic treatment on culture
outcomes of ulcer bed and bone samples. Understanding how previous antibiotic use
influences culture results is crucial for optimising treatment strategies and preventing
antimicrobial resistance.

In summary, our thesis aims to contribute to the improvement of diagnosis and treatment
of diabetes-related foot osteomyelitis, ultimately reducing adverse events like risk
of amputation and mortality associated with this serious diabetes-related complication.
Comparison of reaction networks of insulin signaling
Authors: Lubenia Patrick Vincent , Mendoza Eduardo , Lao Angelyn
Published: February 2025

Understanding the insulin signaling cascade provides insights into the underlying mechanisms of biological phenomena such as insulin resistance, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer. For this reason, previous studies utilized chemical reaction network theory to perform comparative analyses of reaction networks of insulin signaling in healthy (INSMS: INSulin Metabolic Signaling) and diabetic cells (INRES: INsulin RESistance). This study extends these analyses using various methods which give further insights regarding insulin signaling. Using embedded networks, we discuss evidence of the presence of a structural “bifurcation” in the signaling process between INSMS and INRES. Concordance profiles of INSMS and INRES show that both have a high propensity to remain monostationary. Moreover, the concordance properties allow us to present heuristic evidence that INRES has a higher level of stability beyond its monostationarity. Finally, we discuss a new way of analyzing reaction networks through network translation. This method gives rise to three new insights: (i) each stoichiometric class of INSMS and INRES contains a unique positive equilibrium; (ii) any positive equilibrium of INSMS is exponentially stable and is a global attractor in its stoichiometric class; and (iii) any positive equilibrium of INRES is locally asymptotically stable. These results open up opportunities for collaboration with experimental biologists to understand insulin signaling better.
EU PNR Directive: A Comprehensive Review and Its Implications for China
Authors: Zhang Huidi
Published: February 2025

Following the 9/11 attacks, countries around the world increased their focus on aviation security. Although the EU had already implemented high-standard data protection regulations in 1995 to safeguard passengers’ rights, the extensive collection of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data for aviation security purposes raised concerns about privacy violations and discrimination, exacerbating the conflict between security measures and privacy protection. This paper uses a historical analysis to explore how the EU addressed the challenge of balancing aviation security and passenger rights. It shows that bilateral agreements on the protection of PNR data were insufficient, and that a dual-track legislative approach eventually emerged as the most effective solution. Furthermore, by applying the principle of proportionality, the paper assesses the effectiveness of the EU PNR Directive. It examines whether the EU PNR Directive’s objectives are clear, whether the data categories are welldefined, and whether the retention period is reasonable. This evaluation seeks to determine if the EU PNR Directive strikes an appropriate balance between respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms while ensuring aviation security. Finally, through a comparative analysis, the paper argues that despite the differing legal and social contexts between China and the EU, the EU PNR Directive provides a functional and adaptable framework for China to balance aviation security with privacy concerns, in compliance with international standards.
Air Passenger Rights Case Law Developments From 16 June to 09 December 2024
Authors: Erotokritou Chrystel , Mateou Sofia
Published: February 2025

From 16 June to 9 December 2024, there have been limited case developments concerning air passenger rights. The first part of this article highlights recent decisions from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) that have shed light on the interpretation of EU Regulation No 261/2004 and Regulation (EU) No. 1215/2012. The second part presents a non-exhaustive overview of selected significant rulings from non- EU countries. In the case joined Case E EAD v. DW (C-650/23) and Flightright GmbH v. Condor Flugdienst GmbH, the Court clarified that passengers can rely on the rights provided under Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, even when their flights are part of package tours. In JX v. FTI Touristik GmbH, the Court determined that Article 18 of (B) Regulation (EU) No. 1215/2012 not only governs international jurisdiction but also specifies territorial jurisdiction, allowing the consumer to sue in the court of their domicile. In the case International Air Transport Association v. Canada (Transportation Agency), the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the Canadian Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) do not violate the Montreal Convention’s exclusivity principle. In the case Lipton and another v. BA Cityflyer Ltd, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom held that the cancellation of a flight, does not qualify as an ‘extraordinary circumstance’ under EU Regulation 261and that causes of action arising before Brexit should be governed by the EU law in force immediately before the UK’s exit, as retained EU law.  div/div
Contractual Clarity, Context and Commercial Common Sense: Is There a Hierarchy of Approaches under English Law?
Authors: Grey Felicia A.
Published: February 2025

p class="MsoNormal"This study uses a
doctrinal analysis of case law to examine whether there is hierarchy of
approaches when interpreting commercial contracts in English courts. Using
cases from Prenn v. Simmonds to Wood v. Capita, it shows how the latter has
become the latest authority on commercial contractual construction. The study
finds that Wood v. Capita is a nexus between Rainy Sky and Arnold v. Britton,
two cases that years of jurisprudence found to offer competing approaches to
interpretation. The Court emphasizes that these two cases say the same thing
and that construction is both a unitary and iterative process. This refutes the
hypothesis that a hierarchy of approaches exists. o:p/o:p

p class="MsoNormal"While the Court’s
attempt at complementarity in Wood v. Capita has brought legitimacy to the
divergent approaches to construction, this had not made the process any more
transparent or objective. This has been compounded by the findings of Sara
& Hossein Asset Holdings Ltd v. Blacks Outdoor Retail Ltd, a case
predicated on Wood v. Capita. This case shows that where there are rival
meanings, the court can reject the alternatives proposed by the parties and
insert its own, as long as the contractual context supports this alternative.
This usage of the Court’s power and the persistent dissent across cases suggest
that cases involving the interpretation of commercial contracts will continue
to be litigated, with the Supreme Court called upon to provide greater clarity
on what we mean by construction and how it should take place.o:p/o:p
Editorial: ‘Windfall Taxes’ under Regulation (EU) 2022/1854: Soon Gone With the Wind?
Authors: Cordewener Axel
Published: February 2025

Regulation (EU) 2022/1854 obliged Member States to introduce, on a temporary basis, a cap on market revenue of certain electricity producers, and either a ‘mandatory temporary solidarity contribution’ or ‘equivalent national measures’ for enterprises in the oil, coal, gas and refinery sectors. Meanwhile, both the Regulation as such and the different types of domestic measures have come under fire before the European and the domestic courts. There is a good chance that neither the Regulation nor the measures taken by the Member States will survive closer legal scrutiny, and that this first-ever attempt of the EU to let Member States introduce ‘windfall taxes’ may turn out to be a failure.
Interaction between the Whistleblowing Directive and the ECHR: The Case of Romania
Authors: Roșioru Felicia
Published: February 2025

p class="MsoNormal"Whistleblower protection has existed in Romania since 2004,
with the law providing free choice as to the means to reveal breaches of the
law. However, in most cases, the courts have decided that the persons revealing
breaches of the law were not protected as whistleblowers, as there was no
public interest in the disclosure. On the other hand, the European Court of
Human Rights (ECtHR) has protected Romanian whistleblowers under the scope of
the freedom of expression. In this context, the new regulation has attempted to
balance the provisions of Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on the protection of persons
who report breaches of Union law, the case-law of the ECtHR and the Council of
Europe’s conventions against corruption. The result is a complex regulation
that might lead to uncertainty as to who qualifies for whistleblower protection
and thus render the law less effective.o:p/o:p
Whistleblowing Regulation in Hungary: Old and New Dilemmas
Authors: Berke Gyula , Bankó Zoltán
Published: February 2025

p class="MsoNormal"Hungary was one of the
last Member States of the EU to complete its legislative harmonization, with
the Act on Complaints, Public Interest Reports and the Rules for Reporting
Abuses promulgated on 25 May 2023. This study analyses the provisions of this
law, which builds on similar legislation enacted in 2013. This reform is best
illustrated by analogy with the renovation and extension of a building, whereby
the existing non-functional building is upgraded, but behind the new cladding
the existing walls continue to suffer from defects and shortcomings. It is
evident that renovation carries more risks than the construction of a new
building, as it is not possible to be sure how the old and the new will work
together, and the solutions adopted must stand the test of time. Accordingly,
this article describes how the legal instruments required by the Directive have
been incorporated into the Hungarian legal system and how they interact with
the existing provisions, while analysing the dilemmas posed by the new rules in
comparison with previous practice. The study examines the instruments available
in Hungarian labour law to protect whistleblowers, including protection against
unlawful dismissal and protection of fundamental rights. This will allow a
comparison between the provisions of the law on harmonization and the
possibilities of the labour courts to apply the law, as well as the experience
gained so far and the directions of development of Hungarian case law.o:p/o:p
Clash of Cultures: The EU Whistleblower Directive and National Company Law
Authors: Ulrich Schmolke Klaus
Published: February 2025

p class="MsoNormal"The EU Whistleblower
Directive (WBD) is widely perceived as a major step in motivating potential
whistleblowers to come to the fore by granting them strong protection against
the negative consequences of reporting. The perception by business enterprises
and their managers is mixed, however. While internal reporting procedures have
been recognized as effective compliance tools for some time, the Directive
requires certain adjustments that seem at odds with traditional concepts of
company law and its organizational rules for solving conflicts of interests and
agency problems. Among these are, most notably, the unconditioned option to
report externally and the protection of company directors who blow the whistle.
Against this backdrop, this contribution endeavours not only to illustrate the
irritating impact of the new whistleblowing regimes on the compliance
architecture of companies, but also to suggest how to ease the frictions while
taking the aims of the WBD and the national transposition laws seriously.o:p/o:p
NextEra/9REN v. Spain: The Latest in the Recognition and Enforcement of ICSID Arbitral Award in Intra-EU Dispute
Authors: Baltag Crina , Mistelis Loukas
Published: February 2025

The decision of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in joined cases NextEra Energy Global Holdings B.V. and NextEra Energy S Pain Holdings B.V. v. Kingdom of Spain, and 9REN Holding S.A.R.L. v. Kingdom of Spain, confirms that national courts are not prevented from recognizing and enforcing intra-EU ICSID arbitral awards. While some issues raised by the parties could have been conclusively determined by the Court, the value of the decision cannot be diminished. In fact, the decision validates the significance of the ICSID Convention and of the original commitment of the drafters of the Convention to the final and binding nature of the ICSID arbitral awards. Moreover, the decision confirms that the intra-EU development which has generated a ‘complex international puzzle’ does not weaken the reality that the overall rate of voluntary compliance and post-award settlement of ICSID awards is of 90%, with a further 7% of awards being satisfied following successful enforcement proceedings.

The energy industry operates in a highly dynamic environment, requiring robust procurement systems to ensure efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with sustainability goals. However, traditional procurement methods often fail to address emerging challenges such as fluctuating energy markets, supply chain disruptions, and increasing regulatory demands. This study explores the transformative potential of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) in enhancing procurement efficiency within the energy sector. By rethinking and redesigning procurement processes, BPR offers a systematic framework for eliminating inefficiencies, reducing operational costs, and optimizing resource utilization. The study examines cutting-edge approaches such as process automation, digital procurement platforms, data-driven decision-making, and artificial intelligence (AI) integration, which are increasingly being adopted to streamline procurement workflows and improve supplier collaboration. Through an in-depth analysis of case studies and empirical data, the research highlights how energy companies leveraging BPR strategies achieve greater agility and resilience in their procurement operations. Key findings reveal that implementing AI-powered tools for demand forecasting, blockchain for transparent supplier transactions, and digital dashboards for real-time tracking significantly enhances procurement performance. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of fostering organizational culture shifts, change management strategies, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure the successful adoption of reengineered processes. This paper further identifies critical success factors for implementing BPR in the energy sector, including top management support, employee training, and investment in scalable digital infrastructure. It also discusses the role of sustainability in procurement transformation, emphasizing green procurement practices that align with global energy transition goals. By offering actionable insights, this research provides a roadmap for energy companies to achieve procurement excellence, drive operational efficiency, and remain competitive in an evolving market.

Published: February 2025

In today’s dynamic business environment, strategic contracting has emerged as a critical component of procurement practices, enabling organizations to maximize efficiency while aligning operations with overarching corporate goals. This paper explores the transformative role of strategic contracting in modern procurement, emphasizing its potential to enhance operational performance, mitigate risks, and drive sustainable value creation. By adopting advanced tools such as contract lifecycle management (CLM) systems, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics, organizations can streamline procurement processes, improve supplier relationships, and achieve greater cost efficiency. The study identifies key elements of strategic contracting, including comprehensive supplier evaluation, contract standardization, and real-time performance monitoring. A particular focus is placed on aligning procurement activities with organizational objectives such as compliance, risk management, and sustainability. Leveraging AI-driven insights, procurement teams can predict market trends, optimize vendor negotiations, and ensure adherence to regulatory frameworks. Additionally, digital contract management platforms provide centralized repositories for storing, tracking, and analyzing contracts, reducing administrative overhead and enabling informed decision-making. The integration of strategic contracting with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria is also explored. By embedding ESG principles into contracting practices, organizations can foster ethical supply chains, promote environmental sustainability, and enhance their reputation in global markets. Practical examples from industries such as construction, healthcare, and retail are presented to demonstrate the tangible benefits of strategic contracting in driving business efficiency. This paper concludes that strategic contracting is no longer a supplementary procurement activity but a core driver of organizational success. By aligning procurement practices with corporate goals, businesses can achieve operational excellence, ensure compliance, and sustain long-term competitiveness. Future research directions include exploring the role of emerging technologies, such as blockchain and machine learning, in further enhancing strategic contracting practices.

Classification of poetry text into the emotional state using Deep Learning
Authors:   Department Information Technology From Matoshri Aasarabai Polytechnic., Walke Shubham
Published: February 2025

Poetry can elicit powerful emotions on the basis of elevated language and literary devices, and placing these emotions becomes problematic owing to the subjectivity of human emotions and the complexity entwined in poetic expression. This research puts forward a deep learning-based approach towards automatic classification of poetry into emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, fear, and surprise.

The proposed approach also engages advanced NLP techniques that aid in discovering the semantics and emotional hinterlands of poems. For the purpose of this study, we represent poetic texts in higher-dimensional space using word embeddings such as Word2Vec and GloVe as reliable representations of contextual meanings. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), particularly Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, have been employed to cater to the sequential nature of poems, thus recognizing complex patterns of emotions. Furthermore, we explore Transformer-based models such as BERT because of their superior power to understand context and nuances of emotion in text.

The dataset was a curated collection of poems with annotations for emotions. Then, to ensure robust results, the performance of the models was evaluated in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Initial results showed promising accuracy for such emotional identification techniques, emphasizing the aptitude of the proposed deep learning techniques to understand and elucidate poetry's emotional content. The offered study adds a new light on the conjunction of computational linguistics and emotional analysis, bettering the understanding of automated literary analysis.

AI Continues to be a Game Changer in the Intellectual Property Management in India
Authors:   ASSISTANT PROFESSOR  COMMERCE & MANAGEMENT DEPT,  JT BUSNIESS SCHOOL,, A R  SALIM MALIK
Published: February 2025

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Intellectual Property (IP) management has significantly reshaped the landscape of IP administration in India. With the growing emphasis on innovation and technological advancement, India's IP ecosystem is rapidly adopting AI-driven solutions to streamline processes, enhance accuracy, and reduce human intervention. AI-powered tools for prior art searches, patent classification, and infringement detection have significantly accelerated IP workflows while reducing the backlog of pending applications.

This paper explores the transformative role of AI in IP management in India, focusing on its impact on efficiency, cost reduction, and decision-making. The research highlights how machine learning algorithms and predictive analytics have enabled faster and more accurate patent reviews, benefiting both IP examiners and applicants. By automating repetitive tasks, AI has reduced the administrative burden on India's IP offices, allowing them to focus on more complex and strategic aspects of IP protection.

However, this technological shift is not without its challenges. Issues related to AI-generated IP, ownership rights, and ethical concerns regarding the role of AI as an inventor are still unresolved in India's legal framework. The absence of specific regulations governing AI-generated IP has sparked debate among policymakers, industry stakeholders, and academic researchers. This paper calls for the development of an AI-specific regulatory framework to address these issues while ensuring a balance between innovation and IP protection.

The study concludes that AI is a critical enabler of India's efforts to modernize its IP management system. It underscores the need for capacity building, legal reforms, and cross-border collaboration to establish a standardized approach to AI-driven IP governance. Future research should explore international best practices and assess how India's regulatory framework can be adapted to accommodate AI's role in IP management.
