Authors: Pourmansouri Rezvan , Fallah Mir feiz , Birau Ramona , Dekamini Fatemeh , Nioata Roxana-Mihaela
Published: February 2025

This study explores board independence, ownership structure, and auditor selection's impact on company risk before and after Corona. Using a 115-company sample (sample period between 2014-2022), it analyzes their influence on risk during both periods. Relationships between board independence, ownership, auditor choice, and risk are examined in line with the literature. The study employs generalized least squares (GLS) analysis. Findings reveal auditor choice's influence on risk-taking pre and post-Covid-19. In pre-Corona, passive/transitory institutional investors affected return deviation, assets (STD-ROA), and R&D expenses (R&D-TA), while active investors impacted only STD-ROA. Post-pandemic, active investors affected STD-ROA and return deviation (STD-RET). Board independence impacted risk components before COVID-19 pandemic (STD-RET and R&D-TA), and all risk components post Covid-19. The study underscores governance and auditor importance in managing risk in normal times, but crises like COVID-19 can challenge their efficacy. Valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and firms to enhance risk management and governance practices are offered.

Strategic planning process model for universities & colleges
Authors: Ali Albadri Albaloula
Published: February 2025

The objective of the study is to develop a theoretical framework and model for strategic planning processes (SPP) that are appropriate for the current demands of universities and colleges of higher education institutions (HEIs). It was based on a review of the open access and easily downloadable literature, as well as previous research that produced, used, or proposed SP models and methodologies for strategic planning and management processes in HEIs. The study found that there are few and varying strategic planning frameworks and models designed for HIEs, and the majority of what these institutions utilize comes from other industries (mainly profitable). Also, results have shown that most university and college staff have wrong perspectives and perceptions regarding the SP models and methods, and they are lacking knowledge and understanding of these models. Differences and variations in the SP models, designs, components, and sequential ordering have been identified. Originality of this article highlights the rarity of precisely applying or merging other models and methodologies in SPP, such as strategic thinking and sustainability. The study is unique in that it proposes a new strategic planning and management framework and models for universities and colleges, emphasizing the importance and sustainability of combining various strategic planning and management models and methods.
The art of preserving genre memories and the aesthetic effect of the influence of prose into contemporary poetry
Authors: Nguyen Tam Thanh , Ho Nhat Huu
Published: February 2025

This study explores the evolving relationship between poetry and prose, focusing on how contemporary poetry incorporates elements of prose while retaining its lyrical essence. Drawing on theoretical frameworks of genre theory and literary hybridity, it examines how modern poets balance traditional poetic features with prose elements to create a dynamic form of expression. The analysis highlights key techniques such as rhythm, personification, rhetorical metaphor, and tonal balance, which enable poets to preserve the emotional resonance of poetry despite its increasing rationality and logical structure. This transformation reflects the genre's shift toward a more objective, politically charged style, contributing to a growing emotional distance in modern poetry. The study argues that while the integration of prose elements offers new possibilities for poetic innovation, it also generates a tension between the genre's intrinsic lyricism and the rationality of prose. This tension is manifest in the juxtaposition of poetry's emotional depth with prose’s logical clarity, which can result in a more somber, neutral tone. By analyzing these shifts, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of genre evolution, showing how contemporary poetry redefines boundaries and continues to reflect the complexities of human existence. The findings underscore the significance of preserving the emotional and rhythmic qualities of poetry while allowing for creative adaptation to contemporary forms. This research has broader implications for literary studies, offering insights into the hybridization of genres and its impact on the future of literary expression.
Visual communication in car advertising posters in Vietnam from a sociosemiotic perspective
Authors: Nguyen Thanh Thai
Published: February 2025

In today's fiercely competitive market, advertising plays a crucial role in shaping consumer behavior. To achieve this, it does not just rely on language but also uses creative visual elements to deliver messages and leave a lasting impact. Therefore, studying advertising discourse from a sociosemiotic perspective is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of incorporating visual elements into advertising discourse. The data for analysis was collected from 30 advertising posters featuring six Mitsubishi car models (Pajero, Xpander, Outlander, Triton, Xforce, and Attrage) sourced from the fan pages of various dealerships. Regarding communicative purpose, the research results indicate that the intended message of advertising discourse can be effectively communicated through the lines of meaning embedded in visual elements. First, to create various types of messages, the central figure (the car model) must perform different types of process and be presented in different states and circumstances. In addition, the advertising discourse is effectively organized, with central entities and key information predominantly highlighted and positioned centrally. Moreover, ideal information about the car model is typically presented in the upper section of the discourse, which can influence the readers' perception of the subsequent details and potentially shape their attitude. However, the interactive meaning has not been effectively conveyed by advertisment makers, as the visual fidelity of the car model is often low. Most of the images in the surveyed advertising discourse are heavily edited, which diminishes their authenticity. From a sociosemiotic perspective, car advertisements in Vietnam reflect cultural values by portraying cars as valuable assets through eye-level or low-angle shots and highlighting eco-friendly features. They also address practical concerns by showcasing the car’s ability to navigate diverse terrains, appealing to the needs and values of Vietnamese consumers.

Published: February 2025

Caries, a widespread tooth decay disease affecting nearly one-third of the global population (approximately two billion people), is characterized by demineralizing hard tooth tissue and organic material damage. Numerous studies have explored natural ingredients for dental health support, and bay leaves, commonly used as cooking spices, are known to contain antibacterial compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. This research aimed to assess bay leaves' efficacy as a mouthwash in reducing oral bacteria. Conducted as a clinical trial with a parallel group design, saliva samples were collected from 10 respondents using the draining method, who gargled with 40% bay leaf extract, and 11 respondents who used a placebo. Participants aged 18-25 with a caries score of at least three were included. Saliva samples were inoculated on blood agar media, and bacterial colonies were counted using a colony counter. Identification was performed with Vitek-2 compaq. The study revealed a significant decrease in oral bacteria count in the 40% bay leaf- extract gargle group (379.30 ± 100.81 CFU/ml to 308.20 ± 51.70 CFU/ml, p-value 0.0001) compared to the placebo group. An independent t-test indicated a higher reduction in bacteria count with the 40% bay leaf extract group (71.10 ± 34.62 CFU/ml) versus the placebo (42.27 ± 108.41 CFU/ml, p-value 0.216). The study concludes that bay leaves effectively reduce oral bacteria due to their antibacterial activity, particularly within the oral cavity.

Authors: Mustofa Imam , Hefni Wildani , Maliki Ibnu Akbar , Chamdan Umar
Published: February 2025

The culture of thought that is still traditionalist in most Islamic boarding schools raises questions about the relevance in the modern era. The use of yellow books as the main reference is considered extremely classic and generally in facing the complexity of modern society problems. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the contextualization of fiqh mu’amalat in the classic text of yellow book at Sidogiri Islamic Boarding School as one of the agendas of Halaqah Fiqh of Civilization. This was a qualitative study with primary data collected through observation and interview, while the secondary data was from literature studies on scientific writing references. Primary data included the results of interviews with the chairman of the supervisory board, the chairman of Bahtsul Masail, and the secretary of Islamic boarding school as well as observations of the business development activities of Islamic boarding school. Meanwhile, secondary data was in the form of written sources regarding the contextualization of fiqh mu’amalat supported by various references to books, journal articles, and other related documents. The results showed that the contextualization of fiqh mu’amalat at Sidogiri Islamic Boarding School was conducted through the elaboration of classic text (yellow book) with the reality of mu’amalat in modern society. Consistency in integrating the teachings of Salaf in the books of classical Ulema has succeeded in maintaining the application of the mu’amalat principles in every development of business units. The contextualization of fiqh Salaf started by making Bahtsul Masail an intellectual forum to answer the problems of mu’amalat in society. The results were actualized by making it a practical reference in every contract conducted in Islamic Boarding School Cooperative (Kopontren) business unit, Basmalah Store, and Baitul Mal wat Tamwil (BMT). The success of the economic empowerment confirmed that fiqh in Islamic boarding schools was not only studied dogmatically. This also showed the openness of Islamic boarding schools to accept progressive ideas in seeing new civilizations with their classical values. In conclusion, this study was expected to be an academic reference that pioneered the renewal of fiqh mu’amalat in the digital era.

Authors: Abrar Abrar , Khalida Azhariah , Hareem Haya
Published: February 2025

This research aims to analyze in depth the political power of legal aspects of the branding of the city of Padang Panjang as the Kota Serambi Mekah. The focus of this research explains the reasons behind the branding of the city of Padang Panjang as the City of Serambi Mekkah at the beginning of its determination, the political power of legal (regulations and programs) in building and maintaining the city’s branding. This research uses a qualitative approach. The data sources collected are a combination of data on the law in the books with the law in practices. The interpretation of the data refers to the normative legal research procedure by confirming it to the understanding practices of the respondents. Data was collected through interviews with the mayor and his staff, and the community. While the literature study collected policy documents and the internet such as the Padang Panjang Government website. The empirical approach analyzes field data to explain Padang Panjang’s branding policy as the City of Serambi Mekah, while the normative approach analyzes scientific documents to explain regulations related to the branding. The results of this study show that the rationale behind city branding is to strengthen the Islamic and cultural identity of Padang Panjang City. In addition, although the Kota Serambi Mekah branding has been practically implemented through various regulations and programs, the consistency in the emphasis of branding in strategic planning has changed, from an emphasis on concrete implementation in the 2005-2045 Regional Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPD) to a more explicit emphasis in the Draft RPJPD 2025-2045. This research is novel in exploring the political power of legal in shaping and sustaining the branding of cities, particularly Padang Panjang as the Kota Serambi Mekah. The contribution of this research lies in an in-depth understanding of the role of legal and policy frameworks in strengthening the city’s cultural and religious identity, as well as how this branding can adapt to changes in long-term development strategies. This research also provides suggestions for the government to be consistent in maintaining the implementation of branding in every strategic planning, so that the identity of Kota Serambi Mekah remains relevant and effective in facing social and political challenges.

Published: February 2025

The rapo-rapoang tradition is a series of pre-wedding processions for the Bugis people of South Konawe. This tradition becomes a medium for spiritual communication between understanding customs and Islamic law in formulating the goals of marriage, so this issue needs special attention in the study of maqāṣid al-sharī’ah. This research aims to reveal the practice of spiritual communication through the South Konawe Bugis wedding rapo-rapoang tradition from a maqāṣid al-sharī’ah perspective. This research is qualitative research with an empirical-normative approach which includes the results of observations and interviews with religious leaders, traditional leaders and community leaders and includes a literature review that is in synergy with this research. The results of the research show that the rapo-rapoang tradition is practiced through four stages, namely mental, physical and spiritual preparation, religious and traditional education, family deliberation and congratulatory prayer. Spiritual communication in the rapo-rapoang tradition is an effort to integrate previous community understanding (pappaseng to riolo) with the concept of Islamic teachings and convey it to prospective brides and grooms. The rapo-rapong tradition in practice is in line with the provisions of Islamic law. In fact, if this tradition is analyzed from a maqāṣid al-sharī’ah perspective, it is found to be a form of support for achieving the goals of Islamic marriage. Therefore, ijtihad regarding the concept of achieving the goals of Islamic marriage through certain traditions implemented by Muslim communities throughout the world needs attention, in order to preserve culture and traditions within the circle of Islamic sharia.

DECREASING THE MELTING TEMPERATURE OF NANOPARTICLES AND SURFACE TENSION AT THE MELT–CRYSTAL BOUNDARY IN THE HAFNIUM-CADMIUM SYSTEM
Authors: Zhakanbaev Yeldar , Volodin Valeriy , Tuleushev Yuriy
Published: February 2025

In the process of forming coatings of the system, which are solid solutions of cadmium in hafnium, the maximum critical dimensions were established at which metals can spontaneously form solid solutions from the point of view of thermal fluctuation melting: for hafnium - 1.8 nm, for cadmium - 1.6 nm. The boundaries of the existence of solutions extend up to 64.1 at.% Cd in hafnium. Based on this, the hyperbolic dependences of the decrease in the melting point of ultrafine particles of hafnium and cadmium on their size are calculated. Based on the Thomson formula, without taking into account the Laplace correction, the approximate values of the surface tension at the liquid-crystal interface were calculated, which amounted to 0.60 J/m2 for hafnium and 3.82×10-2 J/m2 for cadmium. A comparison of these values with similar data for niobium, tantalum, molybdenum, and wolfraum showed that the size effect is the predominant factor in the formation of solid solutions of refractory metals.
Wreaths and Remembrance: Commemorating Women’s War Work
Authors: McKenzie Andrea
Published: February 2025

On November 11th, 2023, the author laid a wreath on behalf of Canadian First World War nurses at the Cenotaph in London, UK, the first time they were so honoured. What, though, of Canadian civilian war workers, including L.M. Montgomery? This reflective piece considers the connections between Canadian overseas nurses and women war workers in Canada, using Montgomery’s writings to better illuminate those connections. Nurses’ letters demonstrate that they perceived women at home as active war workers. Montgomery’s writings, in turn, show the tremendous efforts women made to support those overseas—and how those at home and overseas shared and coped with many of the same emotional traumas.

The findings show that this cadre system has a positive influence on the development of students' morals, integrity, and leadership qualities based on spiritual values. This research concludes that the integration of Islamic educational values ??in the student cadre system significantly contributes to forming strong character and leadership potential. Further research can explore more contextual and adaptive approaches to improving the cadre system in accordance with the evolving needs of students.
Comparative Analysis of Molecular Diagnostic Techniques for Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Literature Review
Authors: Rachmatunisa Anita , Oktariana Desi
Published: February 2025

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a global health problem that requires early and precise diagnosis for effective control. In this literature review, we compare several molecular diagnostic techniques used in the detection of pulmonary tuberculosis, such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), as well as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-based Diagnostic Techniques. Polymerase Chain Reaction stands out for its high sensitivity, although time-consuming and high operational costs. Meanwhile, whole genome sequencing and next generation sequencing have detailed tuberculosis (TB) strain identification capabilities but have high costs and limited availability. On the other hand, CRISPR-based diagnostic techniques offer speed and low cost but are still in the advanced stages of development. Challenges in implementing new techniques include technical barriers, logistics, and improving sensitivity and specificity. Suggestions for future research include the development of more effective, faster, and affordable techniques, especially in developing portable diagnostic tests for accessibility of pulmonary tuberculosis diagnosis in various regions.

Published: February 2025

Hypertension is a medical condition characterized by an elevation in systolic blood pressure equal to or greater than 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure equal to or greater than 90 mmHg. Hypertension elevates the likelihood of developing cerebrovascular disease and mortality. The administration of conventional antihypertensive drugs frequently leads to the occurrence of adverse effects. Moreover, a significant proportion of the population in developing nations, approximately 70%, currently favors the utilization of herbal remedies as opposed to conventional pharmaceuticals. Garlic is a herbal plant known for its antihypertensive properties. This review specifically examines the current mechanisms by which garlic acts as an antihypertensive, and presents the clinical evidence available to date regarding garlic's effectiveness in lowering blood pressure. The present mechanism by which garlic acts as an antihypertensive agent involves its anti-inflammatory, vasorelaxant, antioxidant, anti-apoptotic effects, enhancement of microbiota activities, and improvement of heart function. The antihypertensive effect of garlic is derived from its organosulfur content. Based on multiple clinical trials, the majority of studies have found that administering interventions in the form of capsules containing garlic or aged black garlic extract leads to a decrease in blood pressure. Garlic has anti-hypertensive effects, especially in the form of aged black garlic extract.

Employing a quantitative methodology, the study gathered data through questionnaires distributed to 78 respondents, comprising ASN staff, contract employees, and outsourced workers. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques, revealing that all independent variables significantly and positively affected employee performance. Digital competence is the most dominant variable, with a contribution of 44%. Each increase of one unit in digital competence has the potential to increase employee performance by 4.04 units. This is supported by the implementation of a digital system that facilitates data management and increases work efficiency. Indicators of data access and use of digital tools are the main contributions in this variable. Work motivation also has a significant effect on performance, especially on indicators of physical, social and self-actualization needs. When basic needs such as salary and facilities are met, and opportunities for potential development are available, employee motivation increases which has an impact on their productivity. The work environment is a key factor in fostering a productive and supportive workplace atmosphere. Indicators of effective communication and a comfortable work atmosphere are the main drivers. Good communication between employees and superiors helps reduce obstacles in completing tasks. In conclusion, developing digital competencies, fulfilling work motivation, and creating a supportive work environment are the main strategies for improving employee performance.
North Sea Plastics I: Fate and impact of river-borne microplastics and their chemical additives in the North Sea Cruise No. AL586, 04 February – 10 February 2023, Kiel, DE – Kiel, DE
Authors: Beck Aaron
Published: February 2025

The river source of plastic debris to the southern North Sea region appears to be increasing over the past several decades, with a strong seasonal control on riverine MP transport and discharge. The current cruise, AL586, links plastic pollution in the North Sea to seasonal studies in the Elbe and Thames rivers as part of the H2020 LABPLAS project, with the objective to understand the transport and fate of river-derived small micro- and nanoplastics (SMNPs) in the North Sea. The specific objectives of the North Sea Plastics I & II cruises (the current cruise AL586 and planned cruise AL596) form a framework for mapping the distribution of microplastics and their associated chemical contaminants in the coastal southern North Sea and assessing spatial and temporal variation in the delivery and fate of these land-derived pollutants. Cruise AL586 sampled four primary and two intermediate stations between the Elbe and Thames river estuaries. Primary stations included CTD casts to collect discrete water samples between surface and seafloor, “snow catcher” sampling to collect settling aggregates, sediment sampling with Van Veen grab, suspended particle and plankton sampling using a vertical WP2 net, surface neusten sampling using a catamaran trawl, and sea surface microlayer sampling by Garrett screen. Intermediate stations were sampled only by catamaran net. Additional sampling along the cruise track included surface water sample collection from the ship’s underway seawater supply, and during calm weather, floating litter surveys to count the abundance of floating debris.

A Review of Kim Jwa-jin’s Activities and Ideology during the Independence Movement for the Restoration of National Sovereignty
Authors:   Korea Association of World History and Culture, Lee Sung-Woo
Published: February 2025

This study examines the activities and ideology of the independence activist Kim Jwa-jin during the period of the national sovereignty restoration movement. Kim Jwa-jin is known to have graduated from the Military Academy of the Korean Empire, served as the general affairs manager of the Gyeongseong Orphanage, held positions in the Giho Society and the Daehan Association, worked as the vice-principal of Oseong School, founded Ichangyanghaeng, was a director of the Hanseong Shinbo, established Hohmyeong School, and served as the president of Hwangseong Newspaper. However, except for his involvement in the establishment of Hohmyeong School, the Giho Society, and Ichangyanghaeng, most of these activities cannot be directly attributed to Kim Jwa-jin. In particular, his graduation from the Military Academy of the Korean Empire seems impossible when considering the operation of the academy, Kim’s age, and the related records.
Kim Jwa-jin was a follower of the Daejonggyo. However, the exact time of his conversion is unclear. There is a record from 1917 stating that Kim was a member of Daejonggyo. under the Dongdo-Bongsa. However, the reference in the History of the Daejonggyo. Independence Movement is problematic as a historical source, and it is difficult to assert that Kim joined Daesonggyo in 1917 based on his activities. The only record related to Kim’s conversion is the Brief Biography of the Late Kim Jwa-jin, which states that he joined Daejonggyo. in 1918. Despite joining Daejonggyo., his influence was limited. This limitation became a constraint in his independence movement activities in the northern Manchuria region and also contributed to the division of the Daehan Military Government Office into the Daehan Independence Army and the Daehan Military Government Office.
Kim Jwa-jin did not have a confrontational relationship with other communist organizations, aside from the Manchurian Bureau of the Korean Communist Party. The conflict with the Manchurian Bureau of the Korean Communist Party was not ideological but stemmed from overlapping support bases with the Shinminbu. Kim Jwa-jin also attempted to form alliances with organizations other than the Manchurian Bureau of the Korean Communist Party. His connection with communism was a strategic choice aimed at enhancing the strength and capabilities of the independence movement. His perception of anarchism was similarly pragmatic. Kim allied with the Manchurian Federation of Korean Anarchists and organized the Korean People’s United Front. The program and platform of the Korean People’s United Front contained anarchistic elements. However, this does not mean Kim Jwa-jin can be classified as an anarchist. His organization of the Korean People’s United Front was a strategic decision to address the challenges faced by the independence movement in northern Manchuria and to overcome the issues within the movement itself.

The Grand Cameo of France is a representative relief from the early Roman Imperial period that visually depicts the power succession of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and the stability and prosperity of the Roman Empire. The artwork is divided into three sections-middle, upper, and lower panels-each representing the terrestrial, celestial, and foreign worlds, respectively.
The middle panel represents the terrestrial world, emphasizing the present and future succession of the imperial family. At the center, Emperor Tiberius sits semi-nude on a throne, asserting his authority as a sacred ruler. Livia, symbolizing prosperity and stability, stands by his side. Young Gaius (Caligula) appears as an heir, imitating Germanicus, while Agrippina the Elder promotes the legitimacy of her children’s succession. Germanicus and Antonia Minor symbolize military achievements and the potential for succession, while Drusus the Younger and Livilla represent the empire’s peace and prosperity. Below, a despairing figure in Eastern attire signifies Rome’s military supremacy and the empire’s conquests.
The upper panel represents the celestial world, symbolizing the divinity and legitimacy of the Julio-Claudian dynasty’s rule. Julius Caesar and Augustus emphasize their political legacy and moral governance, respectively. Alexander the Great is depicted as an ideal model of leadership, while Cupid symbolizes the sacred lineage of the imperial family, and Pegasus represents virtue and immortality, highlighting the dynasty’s glory and continuity.
The lower panel portrays the foreign world, illustrating Rome’s military victories and political dominance. Conquered Germanic tribes and their leaders emphasize their differences from the Romans, while the defeated figures in various poses symbolize Rome’s triumphs and the integration of the empire. The depiction of subjugated peoples reflects the unification and dominance of the Roman state.
Overall, the Grand Cameo of France is evaluated as an iconic work of art that glorifies the authority of the imperial family, the ideals of Pax Romana, and the greatness of the Roman Empire.
