The Arabic language plays an important role in the lives of Muslims. Learning it as a foreign language is the wish of Malaysian students in schools and universities, however they often encounter difficulties and obstacles in the process of learning Syntax and Morphology due to multiple factors, including the difference in linguistic phenomena between the Arabic language and the Malay language. This research aims to identify the difficulties of learning Syntax and Morphology, explore the negative factors affecting the learning process, and monitor the experts’ opinions regarding the process of learning it as two effective tools in facilitating it for students majoring in the Arabic language in Malaysia. The researchers adopted the descriptive analytical approach and they used a questionnaire tool to obtain the data, and then analyzed and evaluated them based on the experts’ opinion in the field. The researchers concluded with a set of results, the most important of which are: Most of the study sample faced difficulties in learning Syntax and Morphology, and they agreed that the lack of practice and application is one of the main reasons for their weakness in both subjects, and one of the best methods suggested by the experts is to reformulate teaching method by the teachers, hoping that it will form targeted to all those concerned with this topic.

The Global Impact of Wahhabism: Saudi Arabia's Ideological Expansion and Geopolitical Influence
Authors: Parawati Erina Dwi
Published: February 2025

This article examines Wahhabism as an Islamic ideological movement that developed from a local religious renewal movement in Najd into a global geopolitical force through the support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The purpose of the study is to explore the impact of the spread of Wahhabism on the dynamics of politics, society, and foreign policy in various countries, especially in the context of bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and the countries that are the targets of the spread of the ideology. The study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method through analysis of primary and secondary sources, including books, journal articles, and policy reports related to Wahhabism and Islamic geopolitics. The results of the study show that the spread of Wahhabism is supported by Saudi Arabia's economic power through oil diplomacy and funding of transnational religious institutions. The main findings reveal that Wahhabism has created complex dynamics in countries, including the emergence of Islamic conservation groups, tensions with moderate local Islamic traditions, and challenges to socio-political integration. Although Saudi Arabia is trying to reform the image of Wahhabism under vision 2030, this ideology remains an important instrument in Saudi foreign policy and shapes the global Islamic geopolitical landscape.

This study aims to determine how the owner perception of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Bukittinggi, regarding the presentation of financial statements based on the EMKM Financial Accounting Standards. and identify the factors influence presentation of financial statements based on SAK EMKM.
This research used a qualitative approach, focusing on MSMEs in Bukittinggi, where 408 registered industrial companies have permits. To enhance the response rate and minimize bias, the study targeted MSMEs likely to return questionnaires promptly.
The results of the study state that none of educational background, business age, business size, information and socialization affect financial report preparation. Many MSMEs stakeholders perceive them as unimportant, viewing the preparation of such reports as a waste of both time and resources. Additionally, financial reporting is often seen as too complex to be applied effectively in small and medium-sized businesses. MSME owners are more focused on increasing their sales revenue, making it difficult for them to allocate time to review financial statements. Instead, they place greater value on experience and traditional practices passed down through generations in managing their businesses

Exploring Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Conflicts in Contemporary Family Structures
Authors: Annisa Qori , Ahmad Amala Bilqis , Al-Faidah Ashimatul Wahdah
Published: February 2025

Conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are common phenomena in family dynamics, especially within the context of increasingly diverse and complex contemporary family structures. This study aims to explore the factors influencing conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law and how such conflicts can be managed in family relationships today. Using a qualitative approach, this research gathers data through in-depth interviews and observations of families experiencing conflicts in mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships. The findings show that various factors, such as differences in values and expectations between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, gender roles still influenced by traditional norms, as well as social and economic pressures, play a significant role in triggering conflicts. Furthermore, ineffective communication and a lack of understanding of each other’s roles within the family also contribute to exacerbating the situation. The study also found that there are differences in how mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law handle conflicts, depending on their educational background, culture, and age. To address these conflicts, it is important to build open communication and mutual understanding, as well as prioritize empathy among family members. This study suggests the need for a more inclusive and socially sensitive approach in order to create harmonious relationships between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and emphasizes the importance of family education that can help manage intergenerational conflicts in the modern era.
Minangkabau Customary Marriage Traditions: Integration of Custom and Sharia Principles in the Perspective of Islamic Law
Authors: Alhkarni Awis , Yuriska Novia
Published: February 2025

This study examines the integration of Minangkabau customary marriage traditions and Islamic law, focusing on how both systems coexist and influence marital practices within the Minangkabau community. Minangkabau society is characterized by a unique matrilineal system, where family lineage and property are passed through the mother’s side, which sometimes conflicts with the patriarchal principles found in Islamic law. The research explores how religious leaders (ulama) and adat authorities navigate these differences, seeking a balance that respects both cultural traditions and Islamic teachings. By analyzing the roles of women, gender dynamics, and family responsibilities in Minangkabau marriages, the study assesses the impact of integrating these two legal systems on societal expectations, marital roles, and the protection of individual rights. Additionally, the study examines the social implications of combining adat and sharia, particularly in terms of gender equality, inheritance, and family leadership. The findings suggest that while challenges exist, the collaboration between Islamic and customary laws can lead to a more inclusive understanding of marriage, where both traditions are respected. This research provides recommendations for legal reforms, educational initiatives, and policy changes to facilitate a more harmonious integration of adat and sharia, while preserving the cultural heritage of the Minangkabau people.
L'Épreuve du Chômage : Baromètre de la Stigmatisation des « Chômeurs » et du Chômage
Authors: Marie Charly , de Araujo Emma , hoffmann Morgane , Bourguignon David
Published: February 2025

Les personnes sans emploi portent un stigmate et peuvent vivre, anticiper et internaliser la stigmatisation. En retour, elles peuvent déployer un ensemble de stratégies afin d’y faire face. Malgré ses conséquences négatives pour la santé et l’insertion, l’étendue de ce stigmate et des façons de le négocier reste largement inconnue. En conséquence, nous réalisons une enquête de victimation afin de quantifier la fréquence et l’intensité de la stigmatisation des personnes au chômage, ainsi que les stratégies que les individus mettent en place pour y faire face, via un échantillon représentatif des personnes demandeuses d’emploi en catégorie A de France travail (n = 2 098). Nous montrons qu’entre une personne demandeuse d’emploi sur deux et une sur trois rapporte vivre et anticiper être stigmatisé⸱e ; entre une sur cinq et une sur six internalise la stigmatisation ; entre une sur trois et une sur six évite les personnes et les contextes potentiellement stigmatisants. Cette stigmatisation ne varie pas selon le genre ou la durée de chômage, mais est plus élevée chez les personnes plus jeunes et avec un niveau de formation plus élevé. Ainsi, la stigmatisation du chômage ne semble pas apprise mais découler du seul stéréotype négatif de « chômeur. » Ce travail oriente vers la réduction de la stigmatisation des personnes sans emploi, en particulier les plus jeunes, afin d’améliorer leur santé, leur recours au droit et leur insertion.
Automating Personality-Based Employment Interviews: Development and Validation of an Artificial Intelligence Chatbot
Authors: Sylvara Ashley , Wang Pengda , Sun Tianjun , Heimann Anna Luca , Ingold Pia V.
Published: February 2025

This study examines the use of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots and natural language processing methods for administering and scoring personality-based employment interviews. We adapted a behavioral description interview to a chatbot interview format and evaluated the construct and criterion-related validity of machine-derived personality scores. Using archival data as a baseline, the study incorporated natural language processing (NLP) methods, including word embeddings extracted with transformers and zero-shot prompt-based scoring using a large language model (LLM). Three key findings emerged. First, chatbot interviews generated significantly lower interviewee word counts than human interviews, limiting trait-relevant cues for raters and machine-based methods. Second, construct validity results demonstrated moderate convergence between machine-derived and human rater scores, with LLM-based scores performing comparably to human ratings. However, limited discriminant validity suggests that method effects outweigh trait-specific variance. Third, machine-derived scores demonstrated incremental validity in predicting organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) beyond self-reported personality scores, underscoring their potential utility in selection contexts. These findings emphasize the need for refinements in chatbot design to elicit richer responses and improve scoring accuracy, offering promising implications for scalable and efficient personality assessments in organizational settings.
Conversational Linguistic Features Inform Social-Relational Inference

Published: February 2025

Whether it is the first day of school or a new job, individuals often find themselves in situations where they must learn and integrate into novel social relationships. However, the mechanisms through which individuals evaluate the strength and nature of these existing relationships – social-relational inference – remain unclear. We posit that linguistic features of conversations may help individuals evaluate social relationships and may be associated with social-relational inference. Leveraging a naturalistic behavioral experiment (57 adults; 34,735 observations), participants watched a mid-season episode of Survivor and evaluated the observed dyadic relationships between contestants. We employed novel person- and stimulus-focused approaches to 1) investigate social-relational inference similarity between participants, 2) examine the association between distinct linguistic features and social-relational inference, and 3) explore the relationship between early season conversation similarity and later perceived relationship formation. We found high pairwise participant response similarity across three experimental conditions, distinct associations between relational judgments and linguistic features, including semantic similarity, sentiment, and clout, and no evidence of an association between early conversation similarity and later friendship inference. These findings suggest that naturalistic conversational content is both a potential mechanism of social-relational inference and a promising avenue for future research.
Phenotyping arts engagement as a health behaviour using 20 years of the American Time Use Survey
Authors: Bone Jessica Katherine , Bu Feifei , Sonke Jill , Fancourt Daisy
Published: February 2025

Arts engagement is becoming recognised as a health behaviour, but there has not yet been any national monitoring of engagement levels or trends in disparities over time. We provide the first behavioural phenotyping of arts engagement between 2003 and 2023 in the United States, using a nationally representative sample from the American Time Use Survey (n=236,270). Daily arts engagement rates remained stable from 2003 to 2023, with small underlying increases in participatory engagement (dancing, performing, arts and crafts, writing) and slight declines in receptive engagement (attending performing arts, museums, watching dancing). Listening to and making music did not change over time. There were less consistent trends in time spent on the arts. People increasingly did arts activities alone at home. There were disparities in engagement, with differing trends according to sex, age, and income. Our findings demonstrate the importance of national monitoring of arts engagement alongside other health behaviours.
Is intense physical exercise detrimental for cognition? A novel approach based on subjective, behavioral and physiological responses to a cognitive effort to failure to failure

Published: February 2025

Background Most previous research has investigated whether performing a demanding cognitive task reduces the time a person can hold a subsequent physical effort. However, no previous research has investigated if performing an intense physical exercise reduces the time a person can complete a cognitive task with an adequate level of performance. The aim of this study was to assess the subjective, behavioral and physiological responses of performing an intense physical exercise on a posterior cognitive tak until failure.Methods In a pre-registered, within-participant experiment, 29 active participants performed a cognitive task until failure after either running to exhaustion at 90% maximal aerobic speed or walking for 10 minutes (control). Brain activity was recorded via EEG, brain complexity measured, and subjective experience assessed using the Temporal Experience Tracing (TET) method. ResultsPhysical exercise reduced maximal force capacity and increased perceived exertion compared to the control, highlighting significant workload differences. Cognitive task durations were 4755.8 s (95% CI: 3326.8–5107.8) and 4308.2 s (95% CI: 3902.9–5481.2) for control and experimental conditions, with no significant difference (BF10 = 0.329). Subjective experience analysis revealed two task-demand clusters, but time spent in these states was similar across conditions. Cognitive performance was better during phases of low perceived demands. Brain complexity decreased after maximal aerobic effort, suggesting a physiological shift, though cognitive performance and subjective feelings remained unaffected.ConclusionThere was no evidence that short intense physical exercise negatively affected participants' ability to sustain a cognitive effort to failure.
Control over self and others’ face: Exploitation and exploration
Authors: Wen Wen , Aktaş Hakan , Mei Jie , Chang Acer Yu-Chan , Suzuishi Yosuke , Kasahara Shunichi
Published: February 2025

The sense of agency, defined as the subjective experience of controlling one’s actions and their consequences, is a fundamental aspect of human cognition. This study introduces a dual-mode theory that posits two underlying modes: Exploitation and exploration. Exploitation aligns with the comparator model, relying on prediction errors and a strong sense of self-agency, whereas exploration involves accounting for others’ potential influence and a more flexible self-model. We employed a face-motion mixing paradigm using a deep generative model to test our theory, manipulating the belief in control by having participants interact with their own face or someone else’s face, with full or partial control. The results supported our hypothesis, showing that controlling one’s own face, linked to stronger control beliefs, was associated with less movement diversity and sharper drop in agency rating when small discrepancies were presented, compared to controlling someone else’s face, which engaged exploratory behavior and yielded higher agency ratings and more varied movements. These findings contribute to understanding how beliefs in control influence action policies and perceptual sensitivities. The proposed dual-mode theory offers a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic interplay between exploitation and exploration modes of agency, providing a useful framework to predict and interpret the nuanced ways in which individuals experience and exert control in varying contexts.
Economic Outcomes of the Great Migration in the U.S. South
Authors: de Julian Mikel
Published: February 2025

In the 1940s, almost 1.5 million african americans moved from the South to the North of the United States. Previous literature on the Great Migration has mostly focused on migrant outcomes and local effects in the North. This paper studies the impact of the Great Migration for those who stayed in the South. It employs linked, full-count census data for 1940 and 1950 as well as World War Two veteran records. Leveraging preexisting migrant networks and variation in war mobilization rates in the North, it identifies exogenous variation in out-migration from the South. It finds that a 10 percentage point increase in out-migration – the average rate in the 1940s – is associated with a 0.63 percentage point increase in a county’s income growth and a 0.72 years increase in its population’s educational attainment. Potential mechanisms include reductions in unemployment and farm mechanization. Taken together, these effects suggest the Great Migration led to economic convergence between the South and the North of the United States.

The capital market depends heavily on the brokerage sector, which mediates securities transactions. This article examines at the level of service quality offered by Nepalese brokerage houses in Pokhara and how it affects investors’ satisfaction. The study focuses on more than two independent factors, including responsiveness, assurance and reliability, as well as how they related to and affect the dependent variable, which is investor satisfaction. This empirical work has utilized the primary data, were collected through survey with 105 respondents by following rules of thumb. Most of the questions were closed ended and 5-point likert scales. The convenience sampling method was applied for conducting this work. The descriptive as well as inferential statistics were used to conclude the research work and SPSS version were utilized. Most of the respondents were male (60%), age group of 20-29 were highest, most of the respondents were Bachelor pass, most of the respondent were students, income level as less than 20k per month and most of the respondents do have experience of 1-2 year of secondary market. There is a significant relationship between RE, RP, AS with IS.  The relationship between RE and IS, AS and IS are statistically significance at the level of 0.05. But, the second hypothesis is rejected because (RP and IS) the p value higher is than 0.005. Hence, we can conclude that, there is a significant positive association between RE, RP, AS and IS. There is significant impact of reliability of service and assurance of the brokerage firm on the level of investor satisfaction. Hence, the investors are satisfied by the reliability of service and assurance from the brokerage firm in Pokhara. It is concluded that the brokerage firm has to give provide reliable service and assurance to the investor for their satisfaction.
Dedicated Verses and (Social) Interventions in the Poetry of John Pepper Clark
Authors: Afolayan Kayode Niyi
Published: February 2025

Despite his transition in 2020, the ranking of contemporary poets in Nigeria today will reveal John Pepper Clark as the most prolific poet. This pedigree notwithstanding, his numerous compositions have received token attention compared to his contemporaries, such as Wole Soyinka, and other Nigerian poets of other generations. Among others, one critical reason that has been adduced for Clark’s less visibility is the eclectic nature of his poetry. This paper, in taking a closer look at some selected verses in the poetry volumes of Clark, navigates the social impulses in his poetry by isolating some of his “dedicated verses.” In validating the importance and centrality of “dedicated verses” to the poet, the paper delineated typologies and forms of his “dedicated verses” and outlined their relationship with the critical social issues in the postcolonial spaces he mirrored. The conclusion of the paper affirms the heterogonous credentials of Clark’s poetry, and argues that by paying attention to the “dedicated verses,” critics can have access, not only to the musings and inspirations which predicate his interventions on the conditions of dystopia but also get exposed to the poet’s commitment to the eradication of identified social ills and healing of those fractures that have ruptured his postcolonial space.

Introduction: Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) is one indicator to check the nutritional status of pregnant women. Poor nutritional status of pregnant women is a predisposition to anemia in pregnant women in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between upper arm circumference and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. Methods: The study used is a literature study with the type of Systematic Mapping Study. Articles are taken from databases in the form of Google Schoolar and Researchgate. The population obtained from the database was 25 articles, then screened using the PEOS framework and obtained as many as 5 articles consisting of four national articles and one international article. Results: The five articles showed an average MUAC size <23.5 cm during pregnancy as much as 26.4%, while the average incidence of anemia in pregnant women was 40.3%. The results of the analysis of 5 articles showed that 3 articles showed that there was a relationship between the size of the upper arm circumference and the incidence of anemia in pregnant women with a p-value <?, which means that mothers with LILA <23.5 cm during pregnancy can be at risk of causing anemia in pregnant women. Discussion: The size of MUAC affects nutritional status which has an impact on lack of energy sources so that absorption is impaired, from this incident the mother has an inability to form erythrocytes resulting in hemodilution until the hemoglobin level is <11 g/dl so that the mother is anemic.
