Revisiting the “Camel and the Needle” A Philological Recontextualization of Phoenician Letter Nomenclature
Authors: Pollard Max
Published: February 2025

This article reconsiders a canonical New Testament metaphor in which Jesus declares that transforming a rich man into a man of God is as simple as passing a camel through the eye of a needle (see [1], [2], [3]). Traditional translations have rendered this expression as hyperbolic or allegorical imagery; (cf. [6], [7]) however, a closer philological analysis - drawing on studies of ancient scripts indicates that the metaphor directly refers to the names of ancient Phoenician letters. The altered rendering found in the Peshitta - where the imagery is substituted with a more “logical” metaphor lacking any letter reference (cf. [15]) - serves as evidence that the original allusion was grounded in the Phoenician alphabet. Given the shared heritage of Old Phoenician and Old Hebrew (cf. [8], [9]), and considering Jesus’s deep engagement with Jewish history and ancient texts (cf. [4], [5]), this interpretation gains further plausibility. Notably, the divine name YHWH appears inscribed in Phoenician letters on certain Dead Sea Scroll fragments which are otherwise written in other scripts (see [11], [13]), highlighting the retention of early Phoenician orthography in later textual traditions.
Qualitative analysis for big data: tidytext and topicmodels
Authors: Junkins Eleanor J , Derringer Jaime
Published: February 2025

Quantitative researchers in psychology often collect big data with open-ended text responses, but they may not know how to analyze or interpret these data qualitatively. Qualitative researchers in psychology know how to analyze text responses but the burden of manual coding for big data can be unbearable. This tutorial shows how to use packages in R (tidytext and topicmodels) as computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) tools. We describe the process for analyzing large-scale open-text data, especially for quantitative psychologists who want to make better use of open-ended data and incorporate qualitative techniques. Qualitative researchers can similarly use this tutorial to more easily synthesize and organize large quantities of responses. Using an open-source dataset, we demonstrate and discuss the basic steps needed to conduct similar analyses on researchers’ own data. By making qualitative analysis accessible to quantitative researchers, and open-source software procedures accessible to qualitative researchers, we hope to spur more cross-training and collaboration across self-described quantitative and qualitative researchers.
The Student-Curriculum Interplay: A Mixed-Methods Exploration of Diversity-Related Learning Goals, Content Integration, and Students' Academic Performance in Higher Education
Authors: Vietze Jana , Jongerling Joran , Senathirajah Rinotha , Sutrisno Regina , Meeuwisse Marieke
Published: February 2025

To reach equity in learning outcomes for a diverse student population, the study programme needs to align instructional materials with its programme learning goals related to diversity and inclusion. Higher education programmes may approach this goal through content integration, meaning the extent to which instructional materials incorporate diversity content and represent minority cultures and groups in examples, data and information. This mixed-methods study explored the relation between diversity-related learning goals, content integration and students’ individual academic performance over eight consecutive first-year courses of a pedagogical sciences programme in the Netherlands. Thematic analysis of 76 instructional materials yielded that, in line with learning goals, most diversity content in instructional materials addressed ethnic and socioeconomic differences in society and education. Notably, courses with many nuanced representations of minority cultures and groups in examples (i.e., non-stigmatising representations) were also more likely to entail generalising or stigmatising examples (i.e., biased representations) in instructional materials. Next, Generalized Additive Modeling and Bayesian multilevel regression with data from 93 students (Mage = 19.88; 90% female) revealed that despite a linear relationship, neither diversity content nor diversity representation in instructional materials were related to students’ academic performance over the first year in higher education. We discuss the added value of exploring the alignment of the intended and implemented diversity-related curriculum and we recommend academic success indicators beyond academic performance for researching and creating more equitable learning environments in higher education.
Queer sociology now: Three decades of Queer Theory/Sociology dialogue
Authors: Liou Heng-Chien
Published: February 2025

Since the 1990s, the current of queer theory has flown through various departments and disciplines. Following its intellectual roots in post-structuralism, queer theory has proven its worth for investigation on the subjects of sexuality, especially in art and humanities. However, queer theory’s influences in other academic fields, such as social sciences and biomedical science, are given less attention. In particular, the relationship between queer theory and sociology past and now need to be revisited: (1) How has sociology, well-known for its epistemological pluralism, responded to the queer theoretical interventions? (2) How has the poststructural critique inspired, contributed to, or challenged sociological scholarship? (3) How do such interactions differ between the center and the periphery of global academic? To answer these questions, I dived into the academic archives looking for clues by close-reading the seminal queer sociological works from the 1990s to the present, and tracing the genealogy of interaction between the two disciplines. Given the radical roots of sociology, such as Marxism and critical theory, we may assume that queer theory and sociology enjoy a considerable affinity. However, the relationship between the two is indeed indeterminate and often comes into tension or confrontation. I divided the developments into three periods and identified the major conceptual themes in each period. Finally, I conclude this article with the remarks and future directions illuminated by this genealogical investigation of queer sociology. My aim for this article is to serve as a map for prospective students and scholars of queer theory and sociology to navigate the intellectual landscape of queer sociology.
An Observatory for Post-Publication Reviews of Covid-19 Science
Authors: Georgiev Bela , Rinner Claus
Published: February 2025

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented surge in scientific publications, many of which have subsequently faced criticism regarding their analytical integrity. Aiming to foster collaborative scientific discourse, we introduce the prototype of an observatory with over 40 Covid-19 studies and a selection of responses for each study. Through several case studies from the observatory, we examine specific instances of methodological flaws, data integrity issues, and the challenges of maintaining scientific rigour and effective peer review under emergency conditions. While the prototype demonstrates the potential for creating a crowd-sourced comprehensive repository of post-publication reviews, it also reveals limitations such as resource constraints and the complexities involved in selecting and presenting articles and responses. Future developments will prioritize refining the selection and ordering criteria while encouraging greater engagement from the scientific community and informed public with the goal to enhance the reliability of published research.

A Linguistic Study of Noun and Verb Derivation in the Gadhi Language
Authors: Munaweera R. G. I. L.
Published: February 2025

No one can say exactly how the history of the Rodi people began. To any human belonging to any nation or tribe, language is essential in expressing their thoughts. Accordingly, the Gadi people have built their own language tradition. They have used this language as a secret communication method, and in the history of the Sri Lankan language, it is known as the Gadi or Rodi language. The purpose of this research is to linguistically study how nouns and verbs are formed in the Gadi language, to investigate them according to word formation theory, and to identify the peculiarities of the formation of Gadi words. The research question addresses how nouns and verbs are formed in the Gadi language and whether they have occurred in accordance with word formation theories. The data for the present study was collected through qualitative research methodology using primary and secondary sources. Interviews were conducted with a few randomly selected Gardi people, and literature containing information about this language was studied. The data set was then analysed according to the linguistic word formation theory. Accordingly, it was recognised that they had used their own methods in forming the words of the Gadi language, which has a minimal vocabulary, and that those words contain certain theoretical features of word formation. There, the most pioneering feature of word formation evident is compounding. It seems that the Gadi language, which does not claim to have a written form, has been strongly influenced by the Sinhala language and due to that situation, it is threatened with extinction. The present study is important as it expands the existing knowledge of the Gadi language and recognises its word formation patterns. Thus, it can be concluded that the words of the Gadi language have been formed in a unique manner, which contains certain theoretical features of word formation.
Pragmatic ellipsis and its pragmatic consequences: Chinese ye shi at the syntax-pragmatics interface
Authors: Chen Yifan , Hu Xuhui
Published: February 2025

This article focuses on the chunk ye shi (literally “also be”) in Chinese. Ye is a contrastive focus marker, yet in some ye shi sentences, there is no overt alternative for contrast. Besides, these sentences carry specific pragmatic implicatures. We propose that these sentences do not form a challenge to ye’s status as a contrastive focus marker. Ye has two core properties: (1) it presupposes the existence of alternatives to contrast with the focus it marks; (2) it implicates a sense of counter-expectation when marking the focus. These two properties can account for all uses of ye shi, including their specific implicatures. Moreover, these two properties are assumed to be shared by ye-type contrastive focus markers cross-linguistically. The alternative evoked by ye shi can be elided through a mechanism named by us as pragmatic ellipsis. It differs from the traditional syntactic ellipsis. The way how ye shi obtains the pragmatic ellipsis use reflects a syntax-to-pragmatics way of grammaticalisation, challenging the unidirectionality hypothesis proposed by Hopper and Traugott (1993).
Negative self-assessment revisited: Exchange of reason for the evaluation to make congruent understanding visible in Japanese conversation
Authors: Sekizaki Hironori
Published: February 2025

This study aims to explore the fundamental and necessary unit in discourses that initiate with negative self-assessment. Since past research has mainly focused on the second assessment as a response to the negative self-assessment as the flrst as- sessment, it remains unclear how conversations progress beyond the second assess- ment. Data for the study were collected from a corpus of 20 same-gender Japanese dyad conversations between undergraduate students who had close relationships with each other. The participants talked about “areas that I am not good at or flnd difficult”. The study found that the participants typically exchanged rationales for the negative self-assessment and reached a consensus on their views regarding the assessment. The study concluded that conflrming both sides’ views was prioritised over formally denying the negative self-assessment, and such conflrmation was es- sential for gradually forming a consensus among the speakers.

Published: February 2025

In the business world, especially in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), business legality and distribution permits are crucial aspects. Business legality refers to the legal status of a business, while a distribution permit is an official approval from the government to market a product or service. Both not only fulfill legal administrative requirements but also provide benefits and protection to business actors. The purpose of this community service is to socialize the importance of business legality and distribution permits for MSME food products to participants at the Batujajar Transit Apartment in West Bandung Regency. The methods used include lectures, discussions, and socialization related to both aspects. This activity succeeded in increasing participants' understanding of the importance of business legality and distribution permits. This increase is reflected in the positive feedback from participants, who actively asked about the permit processing process and expressed their intention to ensure business legality before launching a product. At the end of the activity, partners showed increased concern for business legality, which is expected to provide protection when marketing products and enhance public trust, allowing MSME businesses to develop further.

Published: February 2025

Kebonduren Village has high pineapple production potential, but also produces increasing and unmanaged pineapple peel waste which has the potential to harm the community. One solution is to turn pineapple peel into a tepache probiotic drink, a Mexican drink that is fermented for 3-5 days. Tepache is useful for improving digestion and endurance thanks to its lactic acid bacteria content. The purpose of this community service is to create business opportunities for mothers of the Family Empowerment and Welfare (PKK) in Kebonduren Village. The methods applied include preparation, training, mentoring, and evaluation, with all participants filling out questionnaires before and after the training. The results of the training showed significant improvements; all participants not only understood the content of pineapple peel but were also able to make tepache probiotic drinks and knew their benefits. Before the training, 100% of participants had never made tepache, but after the training, 100% of participants succeeded in producing it. This shows the effectiveness of the training in improving the understanding and skills of PKK mothers, which is very important for the success of the community service program.

Published: February 2025

The topic of designing university campuses in Ukraine is highly relevant today. This is evident from the publications of building projects of this type being designed in our country. In the post-war period, these developments will be needed for the country's reconstruction. The article is dedicated to identifying the functional and planning tasks and ways of solving them when designing or reconstructing student campus buildings. As an example, the architectural experiment of the design and construction of the Vienna University of Economics is considered, which was carried out according to projects by world-renowned architects. The Vienna University of Economics is the largest university in Europe specializing in business and economics education. Due to the increasing number of applicants, a new student campus was built. This project in Vienna was particularly interesting due to the concentration of buildings designed by world-class architects. In 2009, construction began on the project, which involved architects from Vienna, London, Barcelona, Madrid, Hamburg, and Sendai. Among them was the world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid. The total area of the WU (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien) campus is about 100,000 m²: 35,000 m² are buildings, and the rest is publicly accessible open space. The total cost of the project was 492 million euros. In addition to classrooms, libraries, and offices, the complex’s infrastructure includes a restaurant, bakery, supermarket, bookstores, kindergarten, and sports center. The complex was designed by leading architectural firms worldwide, considering all the needs for successful study and work, and implemented using energy-efficient Green Building technologies. Each of the WU buildings impresses with its unique characteristics and architectural solutions. The new campus has become a world-class architectural landmark, a must-visit in Vienna’s list of attractions. The application of various modern styles, advanced technologies, and materials was reflected in the design. The construction of this campus became an experimental workshop. This experience should be studied and used in the post-war reconstruction of educational institutions in Ukraine.

The restoration of synagogues in Ukraine is an important aspect of preserving the country's cultural and historical heritage. As a rule, synagogue buildings in large cities are unique examples of different architectural styles, periods, and construction technologies, and are monuments of the country's architecture and culture. Due to the tragic history of the people and religion, most of the buildings have been adapted to other functions or lost altogether, and many synagogues need restoration and major repairs. Synagogues, as places of prayer and fellowship, play a key role in the life of Jewish communities, and their restoration reflects historical justice and the desire for cultural continuity. Legal aspects - issues of ownership and legalization can complicate the restoration process. Clear legislative initiatives are needed to protect historic sites. Only a few synagogues have survived in Ukraine, and most of them are in need of serious repair. Some synagogues have become architectural monuments, but their condition leaves much to be desired. Modern technology. The use of new technologies, such as 3D modeling and photogrammetry, can greatly simplify the restoration process and help restore lost details. Ecological approaches - taking into account sustainable development and the use of environmentally friendly materials are becoming increasingly important in the reconstruction of historical sites. The restoration of synagogues in Ukraine is not only a matter of preserving the architectural heritage, but also an attempt to revive the cultural traditions of the Jewish people. A comprehensive approach is needed to study and identify such buildings, formulate recommendations and standards for design, and work with the legal framework. Despite the existing problems, the efforts of communities and international organizations give hope that many historic buildings will be restored, will continue to serve as a place of communication and spiritual growth, and will attract interest in the development of the tourism sector. This is a complex and multifaceted process that requires attention to detail, cultural traditions, and community needs. Successful projects can not only restore historic buildings but also strengthen Jewish identity and community life.

The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of style solutions in the architecture of Ukraine in the 1920s and early 1930s, taking into account the influence of avantgarde trends that shaped modernism in the first half of the twentieth century, as well as the national and historical traditions and heritage of Ukrainian architectural modern. Examples of constructivist architecture in Kharkiv (the ensemble of Dzerzhynsky Square with the building of the Derzhprom, the Central Post Office, the Khatorg department store, and others), Kyiv (the fire station on Rostyslavska Street, the building of the Kyiv District Power Plant on Rybalsky Island, the complex of the VUFKU film studio on Shuliavka, the Ninth State Cinema, and others), Dnipro, and Zaporizhzhia are considered. The authors noted the diversity of stylistic trends in the activities of representatives of traditionalism, who continued the line of synthesizing folk art with modern in the spirit of Ukrainian Architectural Modern (UAM) and European modern (the Trade Exchange in Kharkiv) or the Art Deco style, which was distributed after the International Exhibition in Paris in 1925 (the building of the Donvuhillya institution and «New» arcade store in Kharkiv, the Soviet Doctor residential building in Kyiv). The combination of historicism and modern style can be found in Kharkiv buildings of that time, such as the residential building of the employees of the State Bank of the Ukrainian SSR «Chervonyi Bankyvets» (Red Banker), a residential building in the «Chervonyi Luch» quarter, a complex of student dormitories, the House of People's Commissariat of Labor, and others. UAM traditions are continued in the spirit of Ukrainian Cossack Baroque in the complex of buildings of the Kyiv Agricultural Institute, and are also restrainedly represented in the forms of the main portal of the Kyiv railway station. However, after the adoption in 1932 of a resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) banning the previously existing architectural groups and trends and establishing a single Union of Soviet Architects, the situation changed and new stylistic norms related to the development of the classical heritage were established. A period called «postconstructivism» begins, characterized by a transition to socialist realism and «Stalinist neoclassicism». Thus, it can be concluded that the architecture of Ukraine in the 1920s and early 1930s was reflecting global trends in the formation of new styles, and at the same time did not lose its exclusive national identity.

O estudo discorreu sobre da EA nas escolas, pois esse modelo de educação deve ter uma abordagem de caráter didático e pedagógico, com intuito de correlacionar os distúrbios ambientais com as práticas das ações antrópicas, tornando possível a reflexão sobre tais problemas e suas causas, apontando novos meios para mitigar ou até mesmo de maneira apropriada, erradicar tais problemas. Dessa forma, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a percepção dos professores acerca de educação ambiental e a aplicabilidade em escolas estaduais da cidade de Salgueiro – PE. O estudo foi desenvolvido especificamente em unidades escolares da referida cidade, as quais possuem funcionamento integral e semi-integral com abrangência no ensino fundamental anos finais e ensino médio. Para execução desse estudo, selecionou-se 16 (dezesseis) docentes, distribuídos em cinco escolas, assim, a pesquisa, deu-se em duas etapas, sendo a primeira desenvolvida através de um levantamento bibliográfico, em segundo momento, foi realizado um estudo de campo, este perdurou dois meses (agosto e setembro de 2024) com aplicação de uma entrevista semiestruturada composta por nove questões. Após análise, constatou-se que os entrevistados salientaram compreender a importância do ensino de educação ambiental nas escolas. No entanto, quando questionados a respeito dos conceitos dos 5 R’s da sustentabilidade, os mais vivênciados no ambiente escolar foram reutilizar e reciclar, elencados com 37,5% e 31,3%, sendo que recusar não foi enumerado por nenhum dos entrevistados. Já com relação a oferta de formações e oficinas voltadas para EA, 31,3%, revelaram que não é oferecido pela unidade de ensino. Dessa forma, é perceptível o anseio dos docentes pela implantação de mais EA no ambiente escolar, para que possa mitigar os impactos negativos provocados pela ação humana. A vista disso, conclui-se que é necessário maior interação entre escola, ensino e família, pois só através da conscientização e sensibilização que a EA pode passar de práticas aleatórias para hábitos de vidas.
