The Parhalaan of the Batak Ugamo Malim in the arithmetic context
Authors: Simanjuntak Ruth Mayasari , Hutauruk Agusmanto JB , Manik Efron
Published: February 2025

The implementation of ethnomathematics approaches that connect culture and mathematics education remains limited, despite the need to bridge mathematical concepts with real-world applications rooted in local culture. The Batak Parhalaan calendar, which incorporates arithmetic computations, has not been extensively explored within mathematics education. Prior studies often focus broadly on ethnomathematics without delving into specific cultural contexts, such as traditional calendars and their relevance to learning mathematics. This study addresses this gap by investigating how the Parhalaan calendar can be integrated into mathematics instruction to enhance students' understanding of mathematical concepts. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this research examines the Batak Ugamo Malim tribe’s calendar system, calculates Parhalaan in relation to arithmetic, and analyzes it from a mathematical perspective. The results reveal the application of modulo arithmetic in Parhalaan, specifically the modulo 7 system, which reflects the 7-day week structure. Results reveal the application of modulo arithmetic in Parhalaan, specifically the modulo 7 system, reflecting the 7-day week structure. The formula X+Y−Z=S mod 7 harmonizes the traditional Batak calendar with the Gregorian system, providing a systematic method for determining days. Integrating this concept into mathematics education strengthens problem-solving, logical reasoning, and interdisciplinary understanding. Linking mathematics with cultural traditions fosters appreciation for local heritage, broadens perspectives, and raises awareness about preserving cultural diversity, thereby enriching the educational experience for students.
PENGARUH PARKIR DI BADAN JALAN TERHADAP KINERJA RUAS JALAN TIMOR RAYA KM 8+800 SAMPAI DENGAN KM 9+000

La memoria de la muchacha tracia. Notas sobre mujeres, filosofía y experiencias otras
Authors: Birulés Fina
Published: February 2025

El propósito de este artículo es, en primer lugar, examinar la posibilidad de una tradición de pensamiento femenino. Para ello se recurre a la noción arendtiana de una tradición oculta. El objetivo del artículo es también, en segundo lugar, destacar el hecho de que en la mayoría de debates filosóficos contemporáneos (y los que se dan en el marco de la teoría feminista no son una excepción), juega un importante papel un término bien conocido: experiencia. Y sugiere la necesidad de una cartografía de los usos del termino experiencia si queremos saber de qué hablamos y si deseamos analizar y repensar los últimos 25 años de "estudios de mujeres".
La construcción de las relaciones de género en el franquismo y sus conflictos: los consultorios sentimentales
Authors: Muñoz Ruiz M.ª del Carmen
Published: February 2025

En este artículo se analizan someramente los consultorios sentimentales publicados en algunas de las revistas femeninas con más tirada, editadas durante el periodo franquista, especialmente entre los años 1955-1970. A través de este análisis podemos acercamos a las contradicciones que planteaba el ideal de esposa-madre-ama de casa propuesto durante esta época como el único camino de realización personal y social de las mujeres españolas, así como intentar entender algunos de los elementos que están en el origen de la violencia de género.
El desorden de la identidad persistente. Cambio social y estatus de la mujer en la España desarrollista
Authors: Romo Parra Carmen
Published: February 2025

Dentro de los parámetros del cambio social introducido por la planificación del desarrollo en la España de los sesenta, reflexionaremos alrededor de una serie de dicotomías que, si bien son excesivamente simplificadoras de procesos lentos y complejos, nos ayudarán a profundizar en la transformación del estatus de la mujer. Sin perder de vista la continua interacción a la que están sujetos los valores tradicionales y modernos, comentaremos las transiciones desde un cierto irracionalismo pretecnológico rector de la vida cotidiana hacia la imposición de la racionalidad y la secularización, encarando la ruptura con el estilo falangista que abrirá puertas a una nueva definición de lo femenino. En segundo término, plantearemos el paso de la centralidad y preeminencia de la familia como institución fuertemente jerarquizada y la llegada de un discurso que ensalza la individualidad y la equidad en las relaciones familiares. Por último y siempre en esa lógica de vasos comunicantes, confrontaremos las formas de vida del subdesarrollo atacadas frontalmente por los deseados nuevos estilos de vida que servirán de telón de fondo para cerrar y resumir los aspectos enunciados anteriormente. En fin, el esbozo de estas cuestiones, los mecanismos de rivalidad y concurrencia que se esconden en ellas, muestran un indudable interés no sólo para entender los viejos y los nuevos problemas que deben solventar las mujeres en estos años, sino también para aprehender los procesos de cambio en general, hacia la construcción de un nuevo escenario público, privado y doméstico volcado ya en la edificación de la Democracia.

La Inmaculada, emblema de la Firmeza femenina
Authors: Ruiz-Gálvez Priego Estrella
Published: February 2025

La creencia en la Inmaculada Concepción de la Virgen María suscitó un entusiasmo sin precedentes en la España de los siglos XVI y XVII. Ese entusiasmo que arrastró a las gentes de toda condición social, recubre una percepción específica del inmaculismo traducido por la sociedad de los Siglos de Oro en términos de Fidelidad Lealtad y Firmeza, valores esenciales de la ética caballeresca. La Inmaculada se convierte así en emblema de la Fiabilidad/Firmeza, un emblema reivindicado por la población en general y por el público aristocrático –mujeres incluidas– muy en particular. La defensa del inmaculismo por parte de la monarquía española, se debe directamente a la intervención de Sor Margarita de la Cruz para quien el inmaculismo era devoción dinástica, heredada de la Reina Isabel, reivindicada como tal por la combativa princesa. Pero la defensa de la Inmaculada, tuvo también una ardiente partidaria en María de Zayas, quien milita en el contexto de la Querella de las mujeres, reivindicando para el público femenino el reconocimiento de los valores de Firmeza/Fiabilidad. La incidencia de esta devoción en la obra narrativa de Zayas, su transcripción en términos de ética social, son objeto de estudio y atención en este artículo.
La representación literaria de la prostitución en la España del primer franquismo en Cela y Martín-Santos
Authors: Phaeton Jacqueline
Published: February 2025

La recreación literaria del universo prostitucional durante el primer franquismo se incluye siempre en una representación de los marginales; su objetivo principal es la revelación de lo indecible. Apartándose del discurso oficial civilizado, la ficción recrea una visión de la prostitución que se opone a veces a la realidad. El estudio de novelistas como Cela y Martín-Santos es de gran interés, ya que ambos, con técnicas narrativas sumamente diferentes, proporcionan una visión crítica y denunciadora de la sociedad española así como del mundo tétrico de la prostitución. Sin embrago, la ficción no llegará nunca a completar los numerosos blancos de la historia de la prostitución durante aquella época. En efecto, la ilusión referencial propia a la ficción, impide que Esta última desempeñe jamás un papel de documento histórico, lo que no reduce el interés del sustrato literario.
Mujer e identidad aristocrática: la memoria del vínculo materno en la Casa de Fernán Núñez
Authors: Blutrach-Jelín Carolina
Published: February 2025

En las últimas décadas diversos trabajos han subrayado la orientación bilateral del linaje, la dimensión política de la maternidad y el papel central y activo de la mujer en el gobierno de la Casa. Dado el importante papel que desempeñaron en la reproducción del linaje, este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar qué lugar ocuparon las mujeres y la rama materna en la memoria familiar de la Casa de Fernán Núñez, en particular en la genealogía. El análisis del Catálogo historial genealógico (1682) y de otras representaciones colectivas de la identidad nobiliaria nos permitirá afirmar que la memoria familiar fue bilateral, poniendo en cuestión, de un lado, la tradicional dicotomía entre masculino-público y femenino-privado, y del otro, discutiendo la imagen de la mujer-esposa que encontramos en la literatura moral sobre el matrimonio anterior a la Ilustración y en el discurso filosófico-médico.
Amantissima civium suorum: Matronazgo cívico en el Occidente romano
Authors: Martínez López Cándida
Published: February 2025

Las mujeres que vivieron en el Occidente romano durante los tres primeros siglos de nuestra era fueron protagonistas de un mecenazgo cívico que provocó cambios en el modelo tradicional de la civitas. La impronta de las mujeres en la arquitectura urbana, la feminización de las relaciones cívicas, la transformación de la imagen e identidad de las ciudades y el ejercicio de poder económico, social y cívico desplegado por las mujeres en las ciudades constituyó un proceso tan singular que necesita un concepto propio, el de matronazgo, para ser reconocido en la historia.
Teorías de la división del trabajo y enfoque del género
Authors: Domínguez Martín Rafael
Published: February 2025

En este artículo se analizan críticamente los paralelismos fundamentales de las principales teorías sobre la división del trabajo imperantes desde el siglo XVIII hasta nuestros días, a través de la perspectiva de la historia del pensamiento económico. Los modelos altruistas de familia de la economía neoclásica y la sociología funcionalista comparten con los modelos de explotación de las mujeres dentro de la familia de la economía neomarxista la misma ideología patriarcal: una explicación de la división sexual del trabajo familiar basada en razones que remiten la historia natural. Como alternativa, se propone una explicación materialista de la división del trabajo (a través de un estudio de caso basado en el mundo rural), que, partiendo del enfoque del género de la economía feminista radical, rechaza las diferencias biológicas como factor de desigualdad y reclama atención sobre los arreglos institucionales impregnados por las relaciones de género en las familias patriarcales, condicionando las formas de negociación en un modelo de la familia mucho más realista basado en el conflicto cooperativo.
"Ex parte matris mee". Propiedad, herencia y dotes en las comunidades locales gallegas (siglos XII-XIII)
Authors: Rodríguez Ana
Published: February 2025

A partir de la documentación conservada en el monasterio cisterciense de Santa María de Oseira (Ourense), en torno a 2.000 diplomas desde mediados del siglo XII hasta finales del siglo XIII, se intentan desentrañar en este artículo las causas de la importante presencia de mujeres de diversa condición social desde la fundación del cenobio. Se aborda una explicación basada en los sistemas de herencia igualitaria que rige en la región en la Edad Media y la transmisión de los bienes, mayoritariamente tierras, a través de las dotaciones matrimoniales. Por último, se localiza un circuito específico de circulación de los que se han denominado "bienes de mujeres".

Stages of the formation of Russian animation in the period from the 1990s to the present: analysis and prospects
Authors: Zaitsev Alexey Yakovlevich
Published: February 2025

The aim of the research is to identify and analyze the main, from the author's point of view, stages of the formation of Russian animation in the period from the 1990s to the present, their key characteristics and factors that influenced the development of this type of cinema in the selected time period. Particular attention is paid to stylistic and dramaturgical solutions, the interaction of traditions and innovations, as well as the prospects for the further development of the animation industry. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that, based on historical, cultural, and technological analysis, it is the first time that the main stages of the development of Russian animation in the post-Soviet period are identified and systematized. The study of Russian animation allows us to identify its significance as a cultural phenomenon that is able to reflect and interpret changes in the social and artistic environment. Its development testifies to the versatility and flexibility of this art form, which, despite economic and social challenges, continues to be an important medium for expressing national identity and cultural dialogue.
Myth in Umberto Eco's philosophical system
Authors: Fofanova Alyona Dmitrievna
Published: February 2025

The aim of the research is to analyze and determine the meaning of myth as a special cultural and philosophical phenomenon in Umberto Eco's philosophical paradigm. During the analysis, a number of U. Eco's texts were examined, which reflect the system of his views on myth and mythologized elements of culture and history. The scientific novelty of the research consists in reconstructing and describing the specifics of the philosophical system of views of U. Eco's texts on the role of myth and mythologized elements in the context of cultural and historical processes of the past and present. As a result of the research, it was established how exactly U. Eco interprets historical and cultural facts from the point of view of the mythologized basis initially embedded in them, why, from the philosopher's point of view, it is possible to consider myth as a special phenomenon of the postmodern era, and also why myth is an "open text" and what features (frames) are inherent in it.
Linguopoetic features of the “collective text” pattern (epistolary multi-subject notes) in Russian literature
Authors: Shuyskaya Yuliya Viktorovna , Kalashnikova Marina Vladimirovna
Published: February 2025

The research aims to identify the features of the “collective text” pattern in relation to the distribution of grammatical categories in comparison with other texts by the same authors. The research material consists of three examples of “collective texts”: A. P. Chekhov’s “The Complaints Book”, A. Shuysky’s “The Notice Board”, and an excerpt from M. A. Bulgakov’s novel “The White Guard”. A common feature of the analyzed texts is the imitation of inscriptions from various subjects, both related and independent. The comparison of the three texts, previously unanalyzed in such a manner, as well as the identification of the distribution patterns of reflexive and non-reflexive verbs in these texts, account for the scientific originality of this work. As a result of the research, it has been found for the first time that “collective texts” are characterized by a “significant absence” of reflexive verbs – their proportion in the total number of verb forms is two or more times less than in other texts by the same authors. This is due to the use of the communicative register of first-person speech and the absence of narrative fragments in the analyzed texts.
Transformation of social and individual subjectivity in the context of a post-capitalist environment in Jonathan Franzen's Novel “The Corrections”
Authors: Kim Yulia Vitalievna
Published: February 2025

The aim of the research is to find an answer to the following question: how does the narrative-artistic structure of Jonathan Franzen's novel “The Corrections” (2001) reflect the transformation of social and individual subjectivity in the context of a post-capitalist environment? The article analyzes the economic, geopolitical, and cultural conditions that shaped the author and his work, including the influence of globalization, transnational capitalism, and changes in family and social dynamics. It determines how these factors are reflected in the narrative-artistic structure of the novel, and identifies Franzen's characteristic ways of overcoming the identity crisis in the post-capitalist era. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that, in the course of studying “The Corrections”, the key role of the interaction between the narrative-artistic structure and post-capitalist realities in shaping the subjectivity of the novel's characters has been proven. The following results were obtained: the narrative-artistic structure of “The Corrections”, integrating elements of social and psychological analysis, allows not only to capture changes in society at the turn of the 20th-21st centuries, but also to create a multifaceted artistic critique of the post-capitalist system.
The image of spring in the works of K. D. Balmont
Authors: Guznova Alena Vyacheslavovna
Published: February 2025

The article examines the image of spring as presented in the works of K. D. Balmont. The purpose of the research is to identify the features of the poetic embodiment and symbolic content of the image of spring in the author's works. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the schematic representation of the image of spring and its transformation in the works of K. D. Balmont, and the understanding of the image as a symbol of rebirth, harmony, and humility in cyclical life. The paper analyzes the poems "Spring," "Festival of Spring," "Infatuation," "Gray Dandelion," "Wisdom of Spring," and "Russia." The dynamics of the image of spring are traced from poem to poem, and it is noted that it is not the chronological variability of the image, but its logical maturation and complication in poems of different years. The result is an understanding of spring as a companion of Russia: the symbolism of the image resonates with ideas of happiness, infatuation, cyclical life, unity with nature and the native land. Emphasis is placed on the possibility of applying the obtained material in philological disciplines and in the module "Fundamentals of Russian Statehood." As a result of the research, companion images are established that contribute to the disclosure of the image of spring – birches, larks, April, dandelion, forest, Russia. In each poem, processualism is revealed as a feature of the description, removing the static nature of the picture: calling, transformation, flowering and fading, unity. Spring in the works of K. D. Balmont personifies the ideas of harmony, humility, and expectation of a bright future.
Textural complexity and geochemistry of the last millennium pyroclastic deposits from Puyehue-Cordón Caulle Volcanic Complex
Authors: Alfonzo Walter Alexis , Daga Romina , Demichelis Alejandro , Goldmann Gastón , Ribeiro Guevara Sergio
Published: February 2025

The component variability in Puyehue-Cordón Caulle Volcanic Complex (PCCVC) products reflects the inherent complexity of volcanic processes. We examine pyroclastic deposits from Cordón Caulle (2011 and 1960 eruptions) and Puyehue (MH tephra) in a profile ∼20 km windward of the PCCVC. All levels have comparable components (pumice, scoria, glass shards, crystals), but their proportions vary according to the dominant eruptive style in both vent sources. The particle microtextures combined with mineralogy and geochemistry differentiate juvenile from non-juvenile particles in macroscopically undifferentiated components, questioning prior assumptions. Highly vesicular pumice is the dominant juvenile component indicating decompression-driven gas exsolution processes. Juvenile blocky glass shards/obsidians, frequently associated with lithics, now provide insights into the potential higher involvement of magma in the phreatomagmatic phases of the MH deposit. Nevertheless, the variability of tephra components is a characteristic of the PCCVC, regardless of the juvenile or lithic character. This research refines tephrochronological tools and deepens our understanding of volcanic processes and deposits in the PCCVC.
Ефективні агрономічні практики оптимізації вмісту та якості гумусу в ґрунті

Published: February 2025

The results of the study of quantitative and qualitative changes in organic matter (humus) of typical chernozem (HaplicChernozem) irrigated with suitable water under different fertilization systems in vegetable-forage crop rotation within theframework of a field experiment are presented. The content of soil organic carbon is one of the main descriptors of soilhealth, and plays an important role in ensuring food security, achieving climate neutrality and preventing biodiversity loss.During the conducting the stationary experiment (1967–2024) on the non-fertilized irrigated variant a decrease of thehumus content in the arable and subsoil layers of the soil compared to the non-irrigated control with a traditional fertilizationsystem was established. The different fertilization systems — sideral, mineral, organic, organo-mineral and biologicalunder irrigation contributed to the improvement of the carbon balance and the increase of humus content in the arableand subsoil layers of the soil compared to the control without fertilizers. Thus, in the soil of the 0–30 cm layer the increaseof humus content in different variants was 6.0–14.7 %, and in the 30–50 cm layer it was 4.4–22.6 %. The application ofagronomic practice of optimizing the content of humus through fertilization also affected changes in the quality of organicmatter (humus). According to the results of the spectroscopic analysis, the absorption spectra of humic substances of thesoil in the different variants of the experiment are represented by a typical sloping line. This indicates the similarity of thestructural organization of humic substances. The main changes are observed in the UV range. This is due to aromaticstructures and polyphenolic functional groups. The highest content of aromatic structures in preparations of humicsubstances was found in variants with organo-mineral and mineral fertilization systems and in non-irrigated soil.

Published: February 2025

Nurse productivity is critical to health care efficiency, particularly in resource-limited primary hospitals where operational challenges significantly hinder nurses’ ability to deliver optimal care. This research examined the various productivity challenges faced by nurses in a resource-limited primary hospital in the Philippines and identified potential solutions to improve their current working conditions. A phenomenological approach was used to collect data through in-depth interviews of seven registered nurses at a resource-limited primary hospital. Four themes emerged from the thematic analysis, addressing both the challenges and potential solutions to the issues faced by the nurses. The challenges included high workloads and limited staffing, resource scarcity, emotional and mental strain, and training and knowledge gaps. The themes for the proposed solutions include adequate staffing and support resources, consistent access to essential supplies and equipment, skill development and continuous training, and holistic support for nurse well-being and productivity. Based on these findings, it is imperative to offer systemic changes, such as enhanced staffing models, better resource allocation, and strengthened support systems, for nurses to lessen nurse productivity challenges in resource-limited settings. This study provides valuable insights into the complexities of nursing practice in a primary healthcare setting and serves as a foundation for developing targeted strategies to enhance nurse productivity and improve patient care quality within the Philippine healthcare system. Further, this study can serve as a reference for a more focused evaluation of nurse productivity in a resource-limited hospital setting, offering localized insights and context-specific recommendations.
Restrictions on Cross-border Capital Flows: Evolution of the IMF’s Position and Key Trends
Authors:   RANEPA, Moscow, Russian Federation, Yakovleva I.I.
Published: February 2025

The article describes the evolution of the International Monetary Fund’s position regarding restrictions on cross-border capital flows. The prerequisites of transition from one stage of evolution to another are discussed. Specific attention is paid to the adjustments of the IMF’s position after the Asian financial crisis and the global financial crisis of 2008–2009. There has been a revision of perceptions about the benefits and risks of moving towards a more open capital account. Particular attention is paid to the period after 2012, when the institutional approach to capital controls was proposed. Since then, it has defined the IMF's position with some additions and adjustments. Taking into account this institutional view, the experience of individual countries’ imposition of cross-border capital flow restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic is examined. Moreover, using data from AREAER reports and de jure capital mobility indices, this paper attempts to identify the main trends in capital account restrictions for different groups of countries depending on their income levels and initial capital mobility. Conclusions are drawn about the possible reasons for changes in the IMF’s stance, as well as on the specifics of capital mobility faced by particular groups of countries. This is particularly relevant for Russia due to the capital controls introduced in 2022.

The Age of Activewear: Understanding Casualised Athletic Apparel Habits Among Women through Associations with Psychosocial and Body Image Factors
Authors: Hollett Ross C , Sharman Larissa , D'Adamo Dominic
Published: February 2025

Given the increasing popularity of activewear as everyday attire among women, and evidence suggesting that activewear imagery threatens women’s body image, it is imperative to quantify the scale of the activewear phenomena and its potential positive and negative psychosocial im-pact. As such, we collected both quantitative and qualitative data from women across student (N = 455) and community (N = 374) samples to measure their activewear engagement habits and potential links with psychosocial factors. Specifically, we aimed to determine the associa-tions between women’s activewear engagement behaviours (online shopping, social media fol-lowing, purchasing and wearing) and potential positive outcomes such as fitness behaviours, body appreciation, and self-esteem as well as potential negative outcomes such as idealised body aspirations, appearance comparisons, media pressure, and self-objectification. Quantita-tive results indicated that 40-87% of women engage in some activewear engagement, and quali-tative results indicated that women preferred tight forms of activewear that function similarly to shapewear (e.g., tummy control). While activewear engagement correlated positively with fit-ness behaviours, it was also correlated positively with idealised body aspirations, appearance comparisons, perceived media pressure and self-objectification. This study offers valuable in-sights into the growing cultural phenomenon of activewear, underlining the need for further research on its psychological impact.

Moussa Conjecture: Insights on the Dynamics of 3n + 1 Problem with a Proposal of a Novel Representation of Positive Integers
Authors: Moussa Ahmad A.
Published: February 2025

Collatz conjecture, a longstanding problem in number theory, has intrigued mathematicians due to its simple formulation yet complex behavior. In this study, Moussa Model of Positive Integers is introduced, a novel mathematical framework that extends and generalizes the Collatz conjecture. This model classifies integers into distinct sets, including decaying sequences, keys, subkeys, and their multiples, each following specific transformation rules. Moussa conjecture is introduced, which postulates that an infinite number of possible functions-each with distinct formulations and variations-converge to 1, thereby providing a broader perspective on integer dynamics. To validate this model, a computational approach using Python was employed, testing the framework across a defined numerical range. The results confirm that all tested integers adhere to Moussa model, reinforcing its structural validity. Additionally, multiple variations of transformation rules are explored, demonstrating that different formulations consistently align with the proposed model. A significant outcome of this study is that if Moussa conjecture is proven, the Collatz conjecture would be directly established as a special case within this generalized framework. This study suggests potential applications of Moussa model in cryptography, steganography, and encryption systems, particularly through the representation of keys as infinite structured sets. By approaching number theory through this innovative perspective, new mathematical problems may be addressed, and additional research directions may emerge.
A Domain-Adaptive CNN-Transformer Deep Learning Model for Real-time Eye-tracking Based Classification and Scanpath Prediction in Energy-Constrained Wireless Devices
Authors: Gelter Theodor
Published: February 2025

Cultural heritage understanding and preservation are crucial for society, as they represent fundamental aspects of identity. Paintings, as a significant part of cultural heritage, continuously attract scholarly attention, particularly regarding viewer perception and the Human Vision System (HVS). This paper presents a novel approach to predicting human visual attention through eye-movement analysis during the visual experience of various paintings. We introduce a fully convolutional neural network (FCNN) designed to return scanpaths—sequences of points likely to capture viewer attention—by incorporating differentiable channel-wise selection and Soft-Argmax modules. Additionally, our model utilizes learnable Gaussian distributions to simulate visual attention biases present in natural scenes while mitigating domain shift effects with unsupervised general feature learning via a gradient reversal classifier. Our results demonstrate superior accuracy and efficiency compared to existing state-of-the-art methods. In a related exploration of cognitive processes, we investigate eye movements in reading, focusing on dyslexic and non-dyslexic readers. Traditional approaches that classify readers based on aggregated eye movement features have been insufficient, as they overlook the sequential nature of eye movements and the interaction with linguistic stimuli. We propose two sequence models that analyze eye movements without feature aggregation, incorporating contextualized word embeddings and linguistic features. Evaluated on a Mandarin Chinese dataset, our models achieve state-of-the-art performance in dyslexia classification, suggesting that even in logographic scripts, sequence models effectively capture eye gaze patterns.

Over 10,000 Japanese people are estimated die annually from overwork. Yet, the reasons why some employees in certain cultures persist in exploitative work environments remain unclear. This study investigates psychosocial factors that prevent exploited employees from leaving their organisations, with a specific emphasis on the role of collectivism. We hypothesise that perceptions of an overwork climate and elevated levels of workaholism contribute to employees’ feelings of exploitation, subsequently increasing turnover intentions. Additionally, we predict that collectivism exacerbates the effect of overwork climate on workaholism and weakens employees’ intentions to leave their exploitative work environment. Data from 147 Japanese employees were collected via online surveys using snowball sampling. Factor score path analysis and mediation tests (5,000 bootstrap samples) were employed to test our hypotheses. Results suggested that feelings of exploitation are positively linked to turnover intentions, which are driven by the perception of an overwork climate and employees’ compulsive orientation towards work. Importantly, collectivism weakened the link between perceived exploitation and turnover intentions. This study provides an account of the complex interplay between organisational climate, culture, and the impact of feeling exploited on employees’ intentions to quit, highlighting the potential adverse effects of collectivism on employees.

Authors: zhou changzheng , zhou ZIQING
Published: February 2025

is paper explores how to derive Einstein’s field equations from Loop Quan?tum Gravity (LQG) theory. Loop Quantum Gravity is a theory that attempts tounify general relativity with quantum mechanics, with the core idea of discretizingspacetime and using spin networks to describe quantum states. This paper com?bines mathematical tools such as fractal geometry and non-commutative geometryto detail the process of transitioning from the discrete spacetime structure of loopquantum gravity to the continuous spacetime structure of classical general relativ?ity, ultimately deriving Einstein’s field equations. By introducing concepts such asfractal curvature and fractal path integrals, this paper provides new mathemati?cal tools and perspectives for loop quantum gravity theory, further advancing thedevelopment of quantum gravity theory.
Topology Invariants and Dimensional Flow Constraints of Fractal Manifolds
Authors: zhou changzheng , zhou ZIQING
Published: February 2025

This paper proposes a framework for topological invariants applicable to fractalmanifolds and explores the topological constraint mechanism of fractal dimensionalflow. By introducing concepts such as fractal homology groups, fractal cohomol?ogy, and fractal Euler characteristic, we redefine the topological invariants of frac?tal manifolds. Furthermore, by combining fractional calculus principles, we con?struct the equations of motion on fractal manifolds and discuss their applicationsin quantum gravity and condensed matter physics. The research indicates that theevolution of fractal dimensional flow must satisfy topological conservation condi?tions, and its path is subject to strict number-theoretic constraints. The theoreticalframework presented here offers a new perspective on the quantum nature of fractalspacetime and provides potential directions for future experimental validation.
The Complete Framework of Fractal Complex Geometry Moduli Space Theory
Authors: zhou changzheng , zhou ZIQING
Published: February 2025

This paper systematically constructs the mathematical framework of fractalcomplex geometry moduli space theory by integrating fractal geometry, algebraictopology, and quantum gravity theory. It proposes the definitions of fractal complexmanifolds and moduli spaces, as well as the core theorems. For the first time, thenon-commutative correction term of the fractal Ricci scalar is introduced in theharmonic conditions of fractal Hodge theory and metric structures, solving theproblem of the dynamic coupling effect of fractal dimensions on the metric tensorand improving the self-consistency of the theory. Combined with the Monte Carlomanifold generation algorithm and the fractal Ricci flow compactification method,this paper systematically studies the classification of the moduli space of fractalCalabi-Yau manifolds. In terms of physical applications, it proposes the revisedform of the fractal Swampland conjecture, the state equation of fractal dark energy,and the fractal modulation factor of the gravitational wave spectrum, providinga new paradigm for the cross-disciplinary research of fractal geometry and high?energy physics. The rigor of the theory is guaranteed by the fractal Levi-Civitatheorem and the measure-geometry correspondence theorem, and the experimentalverification paths include DESI, LISA, and cold atom simulation platforms.
Increasing Knowledge about Plasma and Plasma-Donation through a Serious Game: Evidence from a Mixed-Method Study
Authors: Ciaușescu Alexandra , Bekkers Rene , Merz Eva-Maria , de Wit Arjen
Published: February 2025

Many European countries are facing plasma shortages, with lack of awareness and knowledge about plasma donation being a potential explanation for low donor numbers. One approach to increasing knowledge and awareness about plasma is through informal educational methods, such as serious games. We developed a serious game focused on plasma and plasma donation for children and adolescents (8-17 years) in the Netherlands and tested it with 744 participants in collaboration with the science museum NEMO Amsterdam. The effectiveness of the game was assessed by measuring the change in knowledge about plasma and plasma donation from open-ended questions in a pen-and-paper questionnaire participants completed before and after playing the game. A Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed an increase in knowledge after playing the game, demonstrating that the game effectively educates players about plasma donation. No statistically significant relationship was found between knowledge increase and sociodemographic characteristics, nor with gameplay experiences. For educators and game designers, our game shows that even simple game designs and mechanics can be effective in imparting knowledge, while also preventing disparities in learning outcomes with respect to age, gender, and technical skills in playing games. For researchers, our study paves the way for a new line of research into the application of serious games in healthcare beyond clinical contexts, such as disease prevention or management. Importantly, our study highlights the potential of serious games to foster knowledge about health-related prosocial behaviours, possibly inspiring future research evaluating their potential as innovative teaching methods to address critical public health issues.
Presidential Election Concessions
Authors: Little Andrew T. , Meng Anne
Published: February 2025

A fundamental aspect of democracy is that losers accept defeat, but systematic data on post-election concessions worldwide has been limited. This article presents the first global dataset on concessions in presidential elections in all countries worldwide from 1980 to 2024. We find that candidates in democratic countries are more likely to concede compared to candidates in autocratic countries. Losing incumbents are more likely to concede compared with non-incumbents who lose. Concessions are correlated with fewer post-election protests, including those alleging electoral fraud. We also highlight the challenges associated with using data on concessions to assess the quality of democracy. Concessions are good for democracy if the election was truly free and fair, but may be bad for democracy otherwise. This contradiction highlights the danger in analyzing potential symptoms of backsliding without consideringunderlying regime type.
Estudio piloto de los familectos en español: optimización metodológica e implicaciones para el análisis de la variación sociolingüística
Authors: Ortiz María Alcedo , Marqueta-Gracia Bárbara , Benítez-Burraco Antonio
Published: February 2025

El familecto puede definirse como la variedad lingüística asociada a las unidades familiares, aquellos grupos de personas convivientes desde hace tiempo con las que se mantiene una relación de parentesco y que comparten un horizonte de experiencias común. Sin embargo, este término no ha sido bien acogido por la sociolingüística española y supone un área de estudio que plantea muchos interrogantes. En el presente estudio se han aprovechado las características tipológicas de las lenguas esotéricas (aquellas empleadas por comunidades pequeñas de hablantes) para ofrecer una caracterización preliminar del familecto en español. Las hipótesis formuladas al respecto se han cotejado con la reunión y análisis de un corpus compuesto por conversaciones familiares. Los resultados se han comparado además con las características del español coloquial, llegándose a la conclusión de que el familecto es una variedad diferenciada y no solo una muestra más de estilo coloquial.
