Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to explore the benefits of using visual devices in enhancing vocabulary. However, advanced technology and the digital era have made it significant to use contemporary visual devices to cope with some of the unfavorable effects of these developments. Therefore, this study focuses on the impact of visual devices on vocabulary enhancement and proposes new methods and innovative techniques to help Jazan University students acquire vocabulary easily. A questionnaire was administered for data collection, and the (SPSS) software was used for data analysis. The study sample was 50 ELT teachers at Jazan University. In addition, researchers' observations, along with various studies, e-books, and offline/online materials, were explored and examined to propose new visual devices to bridge the gap between traditional learning aids and modern visual devices. Growing innovative visual devices will provide more opportunities for vocabulary learning. Digital-based visual devices are recommended for enhancing vocabulary. This paper contributes to pedagogy by introducing modern visual devices to improve vocabulary.
Weaving Life: Women’s Livelihood Strategies Based on Local Wisdom and Stress Reduction Through Purun (Eleocharis dulcis) Crafting Among Female Artisans in Rural Peatland Areas
Authors: Yunindyawati Yunindyawati , Lidya Eva , Azni Ulfa Sevia
Published: February 2025

This research is important because purun crafts have become a livelihood strategy for women to earn income that fulfills the family’s food needs based on local wisdom. In addition, making crafts from purun socially provides a space for women to meet and share stories, thus reducing stress. This research aims to examine the presence of female Purun (Eleocharis dulcis) artisans in villages around peatland, specifically investigating three key areas: gender-based division of labor, the role of Purun in livelihood strategies, and the social-psychological benefits of making Purun crafts, namely stress reduction. The method used is qualitative-descriptive. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The research results show that in the production of purun crafts, there is a division of labor based on gender, where women are involved in crafting and household tasks. In contrast, men gather purun materials in the swamp areas. Women play an important role in earning income through Purun crafts, which are used to meet basic needs such as food and education. The activity of making purun crafts enhances the social cohesion of women in the community. This shows that Purun crafts are important in the economy, maintaining social cohesion within the community and the psychosocial health of women involved in Purun weaving.

demanda en extensión universitaria como problema metodológico
Authors: López Marcelo Luis
Published: February 2025

La Extensión tiene protagonismo en el discurso universitario, pero el accionar en esta área es pragmático y con poca orientación teórica; debido a ello, es una función con sustentos epistemológicos y metodológicos débiles, siendo importante fortalecerla por sus implicancias en el desarrollo social, cultural y productivo. El problema planteado es relativo al aporte que significaría en la Educación Superior incorporar como perspectiva metodológica el análisis de los pedidos, y/o las intervenciones que se realizan con base en diagnósticos, articulando la problemática extensionista con la teoría de la demanda desde contribuciones de la Psicopedagogía institucional, el Análisis institucional y otras disciplinas afines. Del escrito deriva un proyecto de investigación actualmente en desarrollo.

Authors: Correa-Medina Juan Gabriel , Ruvalcaba-Sánchez Ma. Loecelia Guadalupe , Fabre-Bandini Alejandro
Published: February 2025

En el presente artículo se presenta el procedimiento empleado para la realineación de territorios mediante estadística multivariante, en una región de ventas de una empresa distribuidora de herramientas de corte. Los objetivos de la realineación fueron la compactación de los territorios y la minimización de la variación de los volúmenes de venta actuales de los vendedores. El primer objetivo se alcanzó a través de un análisis de clúster, cuyos centros fueron los lugares de residencia de los vendedores, en tanto el segundo requirió la clasificación de los clientes en función de los indicadores de interés para la empresa. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la estadística multivariante es una buena herramienta para la solución de este tipo de problemas.

Authors: Aguilera-Enríquez Luis , González-Adame Martha , Rodríguez-Camacho Rodrigo
Published: February 2025

La variable crecimiento se ha estudiado desde diversos enfoques; para las PYMES de diferentes ramas económicas, el crecimiento en ventas es una variable que se puede predecir bajo mecanismos de naturaleza estadística. Los resultados aquí expresados provienen de una muestra de 109 empresas de diferentes sectores y características de tamaño diferente; el principal método estadístico utilizado fue el Análisis de Regresión, y para llevarlo a cabo se introdujeron seis variables compuestas para los factores de competitividad: tecnologías de información, innovación, esfuerzos comerciales, recursos humanos, calidad y tecnología, con la variable ventas como elemento dependiente. Lo anterior dio como resultado que las variables de Recursos Humanos y calidad tienen un peso específico reducido, además de que no resulta más importante la innovación que los esfuerzos comerciales, sino que en realidad los dos producen sinergia y se ve reflejado en el concepto de ventas.

The article presents fragments of canonical physics of mass particles’ collective interaction. Equations of selfconsistent statics of mass particles and their solutions are given. The integral of "living forces" in plane symmetry
is found. It allows to validate the field confinement of matter by a self-consistent field. A pair of forces of field
origin, holding the layer in a static equilibrium state, is found - the compression force and the expansion force. The
distribution of physical parameters in a flat layer is investigated. The thickness of layer is determined. It coincides
with doubled spatial scale.
An approximate solution to the problem of matter distribution in a hollow cold cluster with uniform temperature is
found in spherical field traps of the first kind. The approximate solution is verified by numerical simulation. An exact
solution is found for potential distribution in a field trap of the second kind. Estimates show that mass spectra of
hollow neutron clusters with temperatures from 1011 to 1012 K can be identified with masses of objects observed in
centers of galaxies.
A hypothesis has been put forward about the existence of invisible gas bubbles of small radii and large masses
with low temperatures. Flying out from dark plasma of the Sun, filled balls, due to expansion and cooling activity
of gas, turn into thin-walled bubbles with liquid wall. The expansion process transfers them to the class of dark
matter. Collisions with invisible bubbles can be responsible for depressurization of spacecraft, for inelastic impacts
on station windows, and even for unsuccessful landings of space modules on the Moon. Processing the trajectory
measurements of lunar modules’ unsuccessful landing will confirm or refute the hypothesis of their collisions with
invisible bubbles.

This paper discovers that current variational principle and Noether theorem for different physics systems with (in) finite
freedom systems have missed the double extremum processes of the general extremum functional that both is deduced by
variational principle and is necessarily taken in deducing all the physics laws, but these have not been corrected for over
a century since Noether's proposing her famous theorem, which result in the crisis deducing relevant mathematical laws
and all physics laws. This paper discovers there is the hidden logic cycle that one assumes Euler-Lagrange equations, and
then he finally deduces Euler-Lagrange equations via the equivalent relation in the whole processes in all relevant current
references. This paper corrects the current key mistakes that when physics systems choose the variational extreme values,
the appearing processes of the physics systems are real physics processes, otherwise, are virtual processes in all current
articles, reviews and (text) books. The real physics should be after choosing the variational extreme values of physics
systems, the general extremum functional of the physics systems needs to further choose the minimum absolute extremum
zero of the general extremum functional, otherwise, the appearing processes of physics systems are still virtual processes.
Using the double extremum processes of the general extremum functionals, the crisis and the hidden logic cycle in current
variational principle and current Noether theorem are solved. Furthermore, the new mathematical and physical double
extremum processes and their new mathematical pictures and physics for (in) finite freedom systems are discovered. This
paper gives both general variational principle and general Noether theorem as well as their classical and quantum new
physics, which would rewrite all relevant current different branches of science, as key tools of studying and processing them.

New Evidence for the Presence of Photon Mass and Experiments to Reveal It
Authors:   Doctor of Technical Sciences,Professor of the Department of Transport Technologies and Mechanical Engineering, Kherson State Maritime Academy, Ukraine, Nastasenko Valentyn
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The work relates to the basics of quantum physics, photonics and optics, in particular – to photons in their
two states: as elementary particles and their electromagnetic radiation. The study of these problems is necessary for a better
understanding of the basics of the structure of the material world and the general development of scientific knowledge about
the Universe, which is an urgent and important task, to which the works of many scientists of the world throughout the
recorded history of mankind. However, all the problems of determining the parameters of photons have not been fully resolved.
Especially for the mass of photons, since its absence is a unique phenomenon in the Universe and no other free physical
particle has such properties. This contradiction to the general rules of the existence of known physical particles in the material
world, as electromagnetic field waves and as matter particles, requires its thorough justification, which is the main goal of
the work being performed. Its scientific novelty is the justification of the existence of the mass of photons and the development
of an experiment for its detection. The research is based on the parameters of the light range of 380...760 nm, for which the
speed of movement is strictly known, equal to the speed of light c, but the energy indicators are not infinite, which contradicts
the Lorentz γ-factor.
New Results of The Work: More than 20 experiments are known that show the presence of photon mass based on its secondary
features. In this case, the 1st experiment is the curvature of light rays revealed in the solar eclipse of 1919, since the error
in calculating the deviations of the rays based on Newton's law of universal gravitation was corrected for them. In addition,
the errors of the relativistic mass and energy of photons based on the tendency to 0 of the Lorentz γ-factor were corrected,
since there are no 0 quantities in the real material world. With in the framework of the laws of dialectics, 0 is the absence of
everything, including matter, which contradicts the laws of conservation of energy and mass. It follows from this that all zero
values are overcome by a quantum leap and these final values for length, time, energy and mass were found. On this basis, the
photon mass is strictly substantiated and an experiment for its determination is proposed.
Conclusions: Strict substantiations for the presence of the photon mass have been found, which do not contradict the known
real laws of physics. All laboratories and researchers with such capabilities are invited to conduct an experiment to identify it.

Optimizing Callus Formation in Aloe Vera L. Exploring the Impact of Different Hormonal Concentrations
Authors:   Treata Research Center, Tehran, Iran, Sohrabi Sedeh Seyedeh Sara
Published: February 2025

One of the most important advantages of tissue culture is helping to reproduce plants in a short period of time, especially plants
whose reproduction is very slow in the traditional way. Moreover, Tissue culturing enhances crop resilience to future climate
change and soil health by enabling the propagation of stress-tolerant, high-yielding, and disease-resistant plant varieties. Aloe
vera is a very widely used medicinal plant that is propagated very slowly through grafting and the use of tissue culture can be
a huge advantage for surviving of these fascinating plant species. But due to the presence of phenolic compounds in the plant
structure, the establishment of tissue culture in the environment will be difficult. In this research, with the help of PVP, to solve
this problem, leaf explants were exposed to different concentrations of two types of growth hormones, auxin and cytokinin, in
order to identify the most suitable culture medium. Undoubtedly, achieving the best protocol for the micropropagation of this
unique plant will be very valuable both in terms of meeting the society's need for its amazing compounds and commercially.
According to the obtained results, the best combination for induction of callus in leaf explants was in the presence of 2.5 mg/l of
Naphthalene acetic Acid (NAA) as an auxin and 0.5 mg/l of benzyl adenine (BA) as a cytokinin hormone. According to these results, the use of the combination of these two growth hormones in callus induction are much more effective than using them separately, and also the greater amount of auxin hormone compared to the other hormone will have a greater effect on the samples.

In this paper, for mathematical descriptions of electrical phenomena (voltage state) appearing in nervous system
discrete-time Hopfield neural network is used. The equilibrium states of a discrete-time Hopfield neural network are
interpreted as equilibriums of the nervous system. An equilibrium state for which the steady state is locally exponentially
stable is interpreted as robust equilibrium of the nervous system. That is because after a small perturbation of the
equilibrium steady state the network recover the equilibrium. A path of equilibrium states for which the steady states are
locally exponentially stable is interpreted as a path of robust equilibriums of the nervous system. This is a way to follow
in healthcare for transfer gradually the nervous system from a pathologic robust equilibrium into a non-pathologic
robust equilibrium. For illustration, computed way of transfer is presented
Christians in a Pagan Environment. Medieval Urban Cemeteries in Lithuania in the 13th and Early 15th Centuries
Authors: Jonatis Rytis
Published: February 2025

The 13th–15th centuries in Lithuania were a complex period of transition when Christianity replaced paganism. This period is particularly important in terms of changing funerary customs. It is unclear whether there was a direct link between Christianity and the spread of the tradition of inhumation. It is also not
known when and how the Lithuanians ceased following the custom of cremation and began to practise
inhumation and construct flat burials. Archaeological material from the first Lithuanian cities of Kernavė and Vilnius, where early burial sites have been investigated, plays an important role in the study of this period. Here, the deceased townspeople were buried according to Christian traditions even before the
official baptism in 1387. This study raises important questions: who were the people buried according to
Christian traditions in pagan lands under a pagan ruler? Why did the first medieval inhumation burials appear in cities? The most recent archaeological evidence is used for the discussion of possible reasons and circumstances for the emergence and existence of the inhumation tradition in pagan cities.
The Earliest Catholic Burial Sites in Medieval Vilnius
Authors: Kaplūnaitė Irma
Published: February 2025

The Catholic community in Vilnius began to form at the turn of the 14th century, almost a century before the country’s official Catholic baptism. The location of the city’s oldest Catholic cemetery has yet to be determined. In the territory of the Vilnius castles, the earliest graves are associated with the Church of St Anne, which was built after the 1387 baptism. A Catholic cemetery must have existed in the present- day Old Town near the Church of St Nicholas as its associated churchyard has been recorded in Jogaila’s privilege of 1387. Accumulations of human bones have also been found during archaeological excavations near the parish Church of St John. After 1387, a cemetery operated next to the Franciscan church and monastery. This paper presents an overview of the likely locations for the 14th-century burial sites, where the first members of the Catholic community in Vilnius might have buried their dead. The study makes use of the few written sources available and discusses the archaeological evidence.
Between Paganism and Christianity: The Rite of Partial Cremation in the South of Old Rus'
Authors: Bibikov Dmytro
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the rite of partial (incomplete) cremation and its existence in the south of the Old Rus' state at the end of the first and the beginning of the second millennium AD. The most complete and reliable sample of burials with partial cremation is presented, and the peculiarities of the funeral rite are analysed. A typological analysis of inventory items found in burials is carried out, on the basis of which the chronological framework of the rite is established. Special attention is paid to the problem of religious attribution of burials. The given characteristic is complemented by materials from similar burials from adjacent territories, first of all from the Sozh River basin, where, probably, the highest number of them is observed. The obtained results significantly supplement the available information about the process of Christianisation of the Old Rus' lands after the introduction of Christianity as the official religion in 988, which is poorly covered by written sources. In particular, taking into account these data, the question of the existence of a restriction on cremation of the dead by the Church and the princely governance is raised again.
Pagan Customs in Christian Burial Grounds? Written Sources from the 12th to the 16th Century and their Possible Interpretation
Authors: Ščavinskas Marius
Published: February 2025

The article analyses the question how to understand the definition of ritus paganorum/superstition which we can find in written sources from the 12th to the 16th centuries. In historiography it is generally assumed that the definition of ritus paganorum/superstition is understood as pagan rituals and practices. But in sources such as the sermons of Bishop Herman of Prague (12th century), in the Church edicts of Siegfried von Regenstein, Bishop of Sambia (14th century), in the sinodical statutes of the Diocese of Poznan (15th century), and other sources, nothing is mentioned about paganism. In contrast, other sources mention diabolical songs over the bodies of dead persons at night, long Prussian drinking bouts in cemeteries or during funerals, and erecting inappropriate crosses at the graves of the dead and demanding their removal and other things. The question naturally arises whether in the case of all these obscure rituals, commemorations of the dead, marking of graves, etc, we can talk about pagan customs that still existed in Christian communities of West and East Slavs or Balts? In the written sources from the 12th to the 16th centuries discussed in the article, under the pagan expressions ritus paganorum/superstition, we see images relating to Christianity, the content of which already has a Christian, but not pagan, meaning.
Early medieval inhumation cemeteries in Gródek-Volyn’. Research status and future perspectives
Authors: Bartecki Bartłomiej , Borowska Beata , Dzieńkowski Tomasz , Hajdas Irka , Hyrchała Anna , Wołoszyn Marcin
Published: February 2025

After a delay of more than 50 years the results of the excavation seasons 1952 to 1955 investigating the interior of the hillfort at Gródek (eastern Poland) were published comprehensively in 2018. The defence settlement at Gródek is identifiable with the stronghold of Volyn’ known from early chronicles (the earliest written record is for the year 1018). A significant series of radiocarbon dates obtained recently revised the dating of burials inside the hillfort as 11th to 13th century (from the until recently previously accepted Late Medieval dating). The presence of silk in several burials confirmed the elite status of at least some of the inhabitants of this borderland stronghold. Identified only recently in Gródek, site 29 produced several inhumations of infants datable to the Tribal Period (a chronology confirmed by radiocarbon dates from three different laboratories [Mannheim, Poznań, Zürich]). The findings of the research on Gródek site 29 will come out soon. Archaeological fieldwork carried out at Gródek (and nearby Czermno) for more than a decade has improved our understanding of the Polish-Rus’ borderland, including the history of this region in the eighth and ninth centuries.
The Anthropology of the 11th-Century Ostriv Cemetery on the River Ros’ in Ukraine: The Effects of Migration
Authors: Kozak Oleksandra
Published: February 2025

The article presents the results of a palaeopathological study of 67 burials from the 11th-century Balt cemetery at Porossya, Ukraine. Recent archaeological studies allow for hypotheses about the peopling of the southern borders of Kievan Rus by groups from northern and northeast Europe. Preliminary anthropological data collected from the Ostriv population suggests some evidence of recent migration. We suggest that migration may have pathological effects on the population, including increased frequency and severity of dental diseases, trauma, and exacerbation of traces of infection.

Mereka belum mampu menjual noken secara online atau melalui platform-platform media sosial seperti facebook, instagram, dan whatsapp. Selain itu aktivitas menjual noken secara konvensional dilakukan di depan mall, trotoar, pasar tradisional maupun di pinggir jalan karena dianggap lebih mudah dan tidak menyulitkan. Kompetensi komunikasi pemasaran mama-mama Papua penjual noken masih rendah, pasif tanpa ada upaya untuk menawarkan nokennya kepada calon pembeli. Komunikasi terjadi dengan calon pembeli kurang persuasif dan terbatas karena tidak ada tawar menawar harga dengan pembeli. Dengan demikian hambatan mama-mama Papua dalam mengembangkan kompetensi komunikasi pemasaran di bidang technopreneurship adalah terbatas pada kepemilikan perangkat digital seperti Hand Phone, rendahnya tingkat Pendidikan, kurangnya motivasi dan dan tidak adaptif terhadap teknologi digital.

Published: February 2025

Media baru dianggap telah memfasilitasi pendekatan yang cenderung baru bagi keterlibatan dan partisipasi politik karena memiliki kualitas yang berbeda dari media sebelumnya. Media baru memfasilitasi produksi, mobilisasi, dan pertukaran konten politik yang dimediasi oleh berbagai platform media online. Dengan melakukan tinjauan literatur, penelitian ini mengacu pada tradisi efek media yang membagi pengaruh media menjadi dua dimensi. Pertama, pengaruh media sangat kuat dalam membentuk perilaku khalayaknya. Kedua, pengaruh media berlangsung dinamis di mana banyak faktor yang berinteraksi dalam membentuk pengaruh dengan berbagai cara. Berdasarkan hasil tinjauan literatur, artikel ini menemukan bahwa media baru memiliki potensi besar tidak hanya memobilisasi, tetapi juga memperluas keterlibatan dan partisipasi politik di kalangan anak muda di samping faktor-faktor lain seperti proses kognisi, ekonomi, dan sistem politik pemerintahan, yang juga memiliki pengaruh terhadap penggunaan media baru yang berujung pada keterlibatan dan partisipasi anak muda dalam politik.

Film "Koe no Katachi" menceritakan drama remaja yang mengangkat isu bullying terhadap tuna rungu, sebuah fenomena yang menjadi hal lumrah di masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan bagaimana audiens memaknai dan mengetahui posisi mereka dalam penerimaan terhadap representasi bullying dalam film "Koe no Katachi." Dalam mencapai tujuan penelitian ini, peneliti menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis resepsi (reception analysis) model encoding-decoding Stuart Hall. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya klasifikasi informan menjadi tiga posisi, yaitu dominant-hegemonic, negotiated, dan oppositional. Audiens pada posisi dominant-hegemonic memahami pesan sesuai dengan yang diharapkan oleh pembuat film. Audiens pada posisi negotiated memahami dan setuju dengan pesan film, namun terdapat beberapa hal yang tidak sesuai dengan nilai dan minat mereka. Sementara itu, audiens pada posisi oppositional mengerti makna film tetapi memiliki pandangan yang berbeda dalam menafsirkan pesan tersebut. Penerimaan audiens ini dipengaruhi oleh faktor seperti frame of reference dan field of experience, yang mendasari bagaimana mereka memahami dan menafsirkan film.

Authors: Hidayat Adinda Ramadhanty
Published: February 2025

Satwa Badak Jawa merupakan satwa yang hanya hidup di Indonesia, yang populasinya sudah terancam punah karena banyaknya perburuan liar untuk diambil cula nya. Indonesia tergabung sebagai anggota dalam Rezim Internasional CITES yang berfungsi sebagai pedoman untuk meghindarkan satwa  dari kelangkaan akibat perburuan liar maupun perdagangan liar. Lalu pada 2019, konferensi tahunan CITES menghasilkan Visi Strategis CITES sebanyak 5 poin, dan penelitian ini menganalisis poin 3 terkait sisi hukum dan juga poin 5 terkait dengan upaya kolaborasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis tingkat kepatuhan Indonesia terhadap rezim CITES tersebut menggunakan Teori Kepatuhan dan Teori Rezim Internasional. Hasil penelitian jika ditelaah pada Teori  Kepatuhan, Indonesia dapat dikatakan patuh karena telah mengeluarkan output dalam bentuk Undang-Undang dalam menindak  kasus perburuan liar Badak Jawa dan sudah memunculkan outcomes yaitu menerapkan hukuman  yang tertera dalam pasal kepada pelaku saat kasus terjadi. Upaya kolaborasi,  output yang dikeluarkan ialah adanya pengelolaan habitat Badak Jawa di Indonesia, yaitu di wilayah Taman Nasional Ujung Kulon yang mempunyai dua program utama, yaitu JRSCA dan RPU sebagai upaya perlindungan dan pengembangan populasi Badak Jawa dan didukung oleh kerjasama dengan Yayasan Badak Indonesia, Aliansi Lestari Rimba Terpadu, dan International Rhino Foundation dalam pelaksanaannya dan outcomes dari kolaborasi tersebut berhasil menunjukkan pertambahan populasi. Lebih lanjut, CITES sudah relevan jika disebut sebagai Rezim Internasional  karena  di dalam Teori Rezim Internasional, CITES telah mengandung aturan, prinsip, norma, dan prosedur pengambilan keputusan, yang dimana telah membantu para negara anggotanya, termasuk Indonesia dalam  melakukan prosedur perlindungan terkait dengan perburuan satwa, khususnya Badak Jawa.
Dinamika Investasi Tiongkok di Sektor PLTU Batu Bara Indonesia Periode 2012-2022
Authors: Vianeyssa Stella Maris , Setiawan M. Chairil Akbar
Published: February 2025

This research aims to examine the dynamics of Chinese investment in the Indonesian coal-fired power plant sector during the period 2012-2022. The selection of this timeframe was made to illustrate the differences in Chinese investment policies in the Indonesian coal-fired power plant sector before and after the establishment of the Chinese BRI, as well as the shift in President Xi Jinping's policies from being proactive in investing to wanting to halt investments in this sector. This study utilizes the FDI Theory and Market Deregulation Theory. It employs a descriptive qualitative approach with two sources of data: primary and secondary data through interviews with WALHI and the Ministry of Investment/Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board, official government websites, specific institutional journals, previous literature, books, journal publications, and relevant news articles. The study argues that Chinese investment in the Indonesian coal-fired power plant sector, especially during the period 2012-2022, tends to have negative impacts and leads to a domino effect on economic, social, and environmental dynamics. The destructive nature of coal-fired power plant activities has led to the cessation of Chinese funding in this sector. Consequently, the Indonesian government has been encouraging Chinese and other investors to shift towards investing in renewable energy sources to replace the obsolete use of coal-fired power plants. The ultimate outcome of the research suggests the possibility of a complete transition from the Indonesian coal-fired power plant sector in the future within an undetermined timeframe.
