The Outlook of Financial Consumer Protection in China: Learning from the American Approach
Authors: Wang Jiawen , Wang Qianqian
Published: November 2024

In China, the range of financial derivative products has expanded considerably in recent years, with a corresponding increase in the complexity of these instruments. Financial institutions now offer a diverse array of financial products to consumers. There is a considerable disparity between financial consumers and financial institutions in a number of areas, including economic strength, social status, professional composition, negotiation ability and even judicial resources. Consequently, the topic of financial consumer protection is receiving increasing attention, and this issue is also a matter of considerable concern to countries around the world. A unified and effective system for the protection of financial consumers has yet to be established in China. In the event of a dispute regarding the consumption of financial products, it is often challenging for consumers to pursue appropriate redress, resulting in a situation where they have no recourse. The question of whether China should enact a unified Financial Consumer Protection Law, establish an independent financial consumer protection agency, and integrate the measures and regulations for protecting financial consumers in the financial services market in order to provide a convenient and fair mechanism for handling financial consumption disputes is a key area of study.

Published: November 2024

The prevalence in Libya of overweight people has more than tripled from 19.5% in 1984 to 63.5% in 2009, while the rate of obesity has more than doubled over the past three decades leading to a much higher incidence of Type 2 diabetes T2DM. This makes investigation of links between BMI and lipid profiles in Libyan T2DM patients of vital importance. This study was conducted to determine the cor-relation between body mass index (BMI) and lipid profiles in patients with T2DM attending outpatient clinics in the Diabetes and Endocrinology Centre (Ibn Al-Nafees Hospital) Tripoli, Libya. The second objective was to compare BMI, FBS and lipid profiles between T2DM patients and a control group. The study was carried out during the period of June and July 2024 included 122 T2DM patients and 55 healthy subjects. The subject’s serum was analysed for total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). The possible correlation of BMI with lipid values were analysed. The Pearson’s co-efficient between the BMI and the lipid parameters did not show any significant correlation in T2DM patients. Comparisons of various parameters between T2DM patients and the control group showed that the mean values of fasting glucose levels, weight, BMI, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C were significantly higher in the T2DM group than the control group. There was no correlation found between BMI and lipid profiles in T2DM patients. Type 2 diabetic patients have significantly higher mean weight, BMI, FBS, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C compared with healthy controls

Authors: Mariano Louella Jean B. , Gawahan Rogelio L. , Du Edwin C.
Published: November 2024

This study was conducted to examine social support and work motivation as predictors of public secondary school teachers’ capability in pursuing graduate studies. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive- correlational research design, data were gathered from 126 teacher-respondents through survey questionnaires and were analyzed. Based on the findings of the study, teacher’s capabilities significantly differ in terms of graduate education status emphasizing the need of tailoring programs to address the specific needs of teachers at different stages of their graduate education journey. It also revealed that social support, specifically from family and friends, and work motivation on growth needs significantly predict public-secondary school teachers’ capability in pursuing graduate studies. This study affirms the Social Cognitive Theory of Albert Bandura which emphasized that external factors affect an individual’s perception of his or her capabilities. Hence, there is a need for teachers to establish interpersonal relationships within the academic context, for administrators to promote a supportive and connected work environment and provide opportunities for personal and professional growth as it fosters teachers’ motivation and capabilities for advanced studies.
De-Stigmatizing Sex-Working and Re-Asserting the Humanity of the Female Figure in African Literature
Authors: Ulogu Ngozi Dora
Published: November 2024

The literary sphere is replete with the female figure as sex-workers and objects of sexual exploitation, for gratification and pleasure, and are classified as such. This goes with denigration and stigmatization. Remarkably, culpability about the objectification of the female, especially young girls lies with the men of varied ages, and class. These girls are usually betrayed and abandoned, consequently leaving them stranded and in very hopeless situation. The general conception, even certain studies postulate that females indulging in sexual adventure and trapped in sex trafficking are classified as prostitution, immediately connoting sex in exchange for money. Fictional representations abound which throw up instances of such stereotypes. But traducers have neglected to question the humanity of the so-called sex-workers, the circumstances surrounding their identity and the environment of existence. This study takes a reverse trajectory to inquire and adduce the fact that those class of females are only leaving out their humanity and sexuality, but are merely caught up in the intricacies of a disadvantaged environment. Using the framework of ecofeminism, this paper embarks on a literary analysis of girls who are enamored by curiosity, desire and emotion to explore their femininity, but are caught in the trap. The primary texts are Okey Ndibe’s Arrows of Rain and Kaine Agary’s Yellow Yellow which explore issues of objectification and betrayal of the key female characters, who are used and dumped like the environment that are constantly being abused. The study sues for empathy and recognition of rights and humanity of the females.

Countering violent extremism (CVE) has become a significant concern globally, with various strategies being explored to address the root causes of radicalization. In regions like Isiolo County, Kenya, gender dynamics play a pivotal role in influencing both vulnerability to and engagement in efforts to combat extremism. Gender-sensitive approaches have been increasingly recognized for their potential to enhance the effectiveness of CVE interventions by addressing the social, economic, and political inequalities that contribute to radicalization. This study investigates Gender Dynamics in Countering Violent Extremism: Insights from Local Communities in Isiolo County, Kenya, utilizing a feminist security theory framework. The objective of the study is to explore how gender influences the effectiveness of CVE strategies and to identify the factors that enable women’s active involvement in CVE. A mixed-methods approach, including surveys, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions, was used to gather perspectives from individuals directly or indirectly affected by violent extremist activities, as well as key informants involved in CVE initiatives. The study finds that promoting gender equality, fostering inclusive community dialogue, addressing underlying social issues, empowering women in leadership roles, and engaging men and boys in challenging traditional gender norms are critical to enhancing women’s participation in CVE. These findings underscore the importance of adopting a gender-sensitive approach to CVE, which recognizes and tackles the intersecting social, economic, and political factors driving violent extremism. Key recommendations include implementing governance reforms to promote gender equality, expanding educational and economic opportunities for women, fostering inclusive dialogues, and engaging men and boys in promoting positive masculinity.

Authors: Saari Mohd Nasir , Mohd Azmi Wan Faida Wan , Arshad Mohd Adza , Syed Mustapa Syed Abdul Haris , Wahab Lilawati Ab , Abdullah Mohd Nazri
Published: November 2024

The Malaysian construction industry plays a vital role in driving economic growth and infrastructure development. However, the sector faces significant challenges in achieving accurate productivity measurement and cost estimation due to its reliance on foreign-based Labour and Plant Constants. These metrics, often misaligned with local conditions, lead to budget overruns, project delays, Extension of Time (EOT) claims, and Variation Orders (VOs). The lack of a standardized approach to determine the optimal combination of labour, plant, and machinery further complicates resource allocation and project planning, ultimately affecting the industry’s overall efficiency and competitiveness. This paper emphasizes the urgent need to develop a Malaysian Labour and Plant Constant that reflects the unique conditions of the local construction environment, including labour skills, environmental factors, and machinery capabilities. Such localized constants will enhance cost estimation accuracy, improve resource management, reduce project delays, and foster sustainability in Malaysia’s construction sector. Additionally, this initiative would align the industry with global best practices, boosting its competitiveness both locally and internationally. Establishing a robust resource optimization methodology will improve cost estimates, reduce project delays, and enhance overall efficiency. This paper emphasizes the necessity for a Malaysian-specific approach to productivity measurement and cost estimation to boost the accuracy and reliability of tender evaluations, ultimately strengthening the competitiveness and sustainability of the Malaysian construction industry.

Authors: Vidanagamage S. D. , Bhaumik A.O. , Irugalbandara A. I.
Published: November 2024

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of role reversal in psychodrama to enhance empathy and emotional understanding of institutionalized children in Sri Lanka. The prevalence of institutionalized children in Sri Lanka is approximately 10,697, living in 367 institutions across the country. They often face emotional problems, empathy deficits, psychological and behavioral issues, and limited social skills. Psychodrama can be identified as one of the creative and promising approaches among various psychological therapies that can address these issues. Role reversal is one of the key techniques in psychodrama, where participants act out and switch roles allowing them to understand and empathize with others’ positions. However, In Sri Lanka, the application of psychodrama is underutilized due to a lack of experts, a lack of awareness about its benefits, and a lack of studies. Therefore, this study provides valuable insights for Sri Lanka’s non-medical mental health services. The study sample was selected purposively from a state-run institute under the Department of Probation and Childcare Service in the Southern Province. The number of 18 institutionalized children aged 12-16 years were selected, considering early and mid-adolescence as a critical period for emotional and social development. This sample consists of 10 females and 8 males. The study used qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and observations to collect data. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Accordingly, four key themes were identified: Emotional Regulation, Empathy Growth, Communication and Social Moral Reasoning Development; and Self-Esteem and Identity. The findings highlighted that role reversal helps better understand and express their own emotions. The study highlights the need to integrate psychodrama into existing psychological interventions. Policymakers should support the development of such therapeutic approaches. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of using role reversal in psychodrama to improve emotional understanding, empathy, and social interaction among institutionalized children.

Authors: Azizun Najwa binti , Dian Azni binti Mohd , Arshad Azhani binti
Published: November 2024

Background and Purpose: Registration of title or interest should confer indefeasibility of title to the landowners or interest holders since the fundamental principle of the Torrens system is supposed to guarantee that. Unfortunately, technology and human greed motivate and cause wrongful deprivation of such rights. When this happens, the issue of compensation or remedy will arise. By not adopting the insurance principle as proposed by Sir Robert Torrens, innocent landowners are at risk of being uncompensated. Methodology: This study employs doctrinal legal research. This content legal analysis will study the selected land legislations in New South Wales (Real Property Act 1900 No 25), Victoria (Transfer of Land Act 1958), Queensland (Land Title Act 1994), South Australia (Real Property Act 1886), Western Australia (Transfer of Land Act 1893), Tasmania (Land Titles Act 1980), Northern Territory (Land Titles Act 2000) and Australia Capital Territory (Land Titles Act 1925) on three aspects only. They are about sources of the assurance fund, bases for claim and the limitation period. Findings: An assurance fund exists in all states in Australia, but they bear similarities and differences in their operation and application. As for the sources of fund, some states employ a user-funded scheme, some states use a government-funded approach, and there is also a combination of user and government-funded approach. As for the basis of claim, commonly the law enables claims for the loss that is suffered as a consequence of fraud, and error or mistake of the Registrar. Concerning limitation periods, there are various time limits prescribed by the states, ranging from 6 years, 12 years, 20 years, and to no limit at all. Contributions: Apart from adding to the body of knowledge, this study significantly assist policymakers to draft legal provisions as regards the creation of an assurance fund in Malaysia. Learning from the experience of various states in Australia, this study emphasizes the elements that must be taken into consideration when formulating Malaysian assurance fund.

Approaches to the Perception of Aristotle's Character in Russian Intellectual Literature (Second half of the 18th – early 20th centuries)
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law SB RAS, Egorova Oksana
Published: November 2024

The article provides a review of different genres' texts, belong to the Russian intellectual literature of the late 18th – early 20th centuries, containing some information about the Aristotle's character. The main directions of the ancient philosopher's character perception in Russian culture are singled out in the article, as well as their features and source base. The conclusion is made that the Aristotle's representation as a pious person prevailing in the literature of the 18th century are contingent on the values of the Russian culture of this period. The subsequent literary tradition has worked directly with historical and pseudo-historical evidence, until the middle of the 19th century. Just some “interesting facts” were borrowed from these evidence, and on this basis were built popular opinions about the character of Aristotle. From the mid 19th century Russian literature, the criticism of historical evidence begins to be traced, as well as attempts to reconstruct the character of Aristotle based on the content of his works and testament. It is concluded that Russian literature as a whole is characterized by the perception of predominantly positive traits of Aristotle's character.

Objective: To conduct a clinical and histopathological study of Epulis at Bhittai medical and Dental College, Mirpurkhas.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at the Bhittai medical and Dental College Mirpurkhas. Patients clinically diagnosed with gingival outgrowth, across all age groups and both genders, were included. A provisional diagnosis of epulis was made based on clinical examination. After taking a careful history, relevant clinical features were recorded, and a biopsy procedure was performed using infiltration near the lesion or regional nerve block techniques. The data was documented using a pre-designed proforma and analyzed using SPSS version 22.0.
Results: Out of 50 subjects, 30 (60%) were female and 20 (40%) were male. Most cases involved the maxillary gingiva (anterior or posterior) (62%). The majority of lesions measured between 2cm and 3cm (76%). Lesions typically exhibited a soft consistency (70%), with fewer cases being firm (8%) or hard (22%). Histologically, peripheral giant cell granuloma (PG) was most prevalent (50%), followed by fibrous epulis (42%), peripheral ossifying fibroma (4%), and peripheral giant cell granuloma with features of central giant cell granuloma (PGCG) (4%). No cases of congenital epulis or pregnancy tumor were reported. Histological evaluation revealed no significant gender differences (p-value 0.86).
Conclusion: Clinically, most epulis lesions presented as painless, soft, coral pink masses, typically measuring approximately 2-3 cm in diameter and exhibiting a sessile form and observed more commonly in females, with a predominant occurrence in the maxillary region. Histopathological examination revealed that the most frequent types were fibrous epulis and peripheral giant cell granuloma.

Terrorism, defined as the premeditated use or threat of violence to instil fear and compel authority compliance, poses a global security threat with profound psychological effects, particularly on vulnerable populations like adolescents. In regions like Northern Nigeria, where terrorist activities are prevalent, the mental health impact on adolescents is a critical concern. This study investigates the relationship between terrorism exposure and mental health among adolescents in Mangu Local Government Area (LGA), Plateau State, Nigeria. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Mangu LGA, Plateau State, in 2024. Adolescents aged 10-19 years were surveyed, with a sample size of 200 determined using Leslie Fischer’s formula. Data were collected through standardized questionnaires covering socio-demographic information, terrorism experiences, and mental health status. SPSS version 20.0 was used for statistical analysis, including regression to assess the relationship between terrorism and mental health. 92.5% of the adolescents experienced a terrorist attack, 57.9% reported deaths, and 42.1% reported injuries. Religion was the primary cause of attacks, with 88.6%. Many adolescents reported worsened mental health. Notably, 49% felt the same regarding thoughts of death, but 24% reported worsened feelings. Terrorism exposure significantly predicted mental health status, accounting for 25.5% of the variation in mental well-being (R² = -0.255, p < 0.05). Terrorism significantly negatively impacts adolescent mental health in Mangu LGA. Targeted interventions, including psychosocial support and trauma-informed care, are crucial. Policymakers should address terrorism’s root causes and promote peace-building initiatives. Further, longitudinal studies are needed to explore long-term effects and inform interventions.

Authors: Vieira da Silva Gracilene
Published: November 2024

The current article, entitled The role of neuropsychopedagogy in inclusive education within the school context, has as its primary objective the examination of the work developed by Neurosciences and how they can collaborate or intervene through their neuropsychopedagogical knowledge in an educational institution. Hoping that means can be found that appropriately prove information that triggers obstacles in learning, knowing that the cause of this problem may be based on the various types of biopsycho and socio-familial disorders. Believing that every practical action of the school must provide an effective interaction of the student and, by understanding education as the only reason for the improvement of the human being and society, it is at this moment that the Neuropsychopedagogy professional begins to obtain a primary role in the approach and elucidation of the blockage found in learning during the literacy phase. For this reason, the work was developed through bibliographic research so that we had theoretical subsidies that extended the universe of investigation of the treatment given to the work of neuropsychopedagogists. Following the idea that guides the proposal of the National Curricular Parameters, all education committed to the exercise of citizenship needs to create conditions so that students can develop their competence and skills. The intention is to ascertain which skills and competencies such individuals have, so that a neuropsychopedagogical intervention that is most appropriate to their problem can be indicated. Understanding the purpose of the duties of the neuropsychopedagogue is a question that is necessary at this time.

Authors: De Lima Pacheco Marcio , Chagas Ramos Rawy
Published: November 2024

This article investigates the trajectory and intellectual legacy of Father Antônio Francisco de Mello, highlighting empathy in his speeches and his contributions to the historical and social context. Born in 1863, Mello addressed themes such as social justice and moral responsibility, encouraging ethical self-reflection. The analysis of his poems reveals three degrees of empathy: the experience of another person, the explanation that attributes meaning, and the objectification of the experience. The concept of ethos, based on Aristotle's Rhetoric, is central to the construction of the orator's image. The article also explores the discursive ethos according to Dominique Maingueneau, emphasizing the interaction between the ethos shown and said, in addition to the pre-discursive ethos. The research proposes a psychoanalytic analysis of the elements that influence the relationship between speaker and recipient.

Published: November 2024

In this paper, we propose an andragogical praxis of traumainformed intersectional love as a way of returning to sacred relationships in management spirituality education. The theories that enrich our praxis are kincentric ecology, spiritual holism and rematriation. We suggest that these
support us in unlearning colonialism, cisheteropatriarchy and anthropocentrism. We encourage building a community of learning in the classroom that fosters knowledge gardening/collective storytelling, relational accountability, compassionate self-inquiry and critical collective curiosity.
We offer practical examples to inspire your journey into weaving trauma-informed intersectional love in your classroom practice. We storytell the ways they rematriate love, curiosity and play while engaging landbased and art-based learning to promote anti-racism, cultural safety, and gender-based
respect.
