Pengaruh Media Sosial terhadap Penggunaan Bahasa Gaul di Kalangan Mahasiswa Universitas Muhammadiyah Maumere
Authors: Yusfina Tuto  , Katharina Woli Namang
Published: February 2025

This article aims to describe the influence of social media on the formation and spread of slang among students at Muhammadiyah University, Maumere. Social media, such as Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, are not only a means of interaction, but also a major catalyst in creating and disseminating new terms. This phenomenon reflects students’ linguistic creativity and is also a reflection of the dynamics of digital culture. In the context of Maumere Muhammadiyah University students, the use of slang is not just a trend, but also a tool to adapt to a dynamic social environment. New terms that are popular on social media are often adopted in daily conversations as symbols of modern and contemporary identity. However, this phenomenon also raises challenges, especially related to the preservation of formal language and traditional values in communication. This article discusses the characteristics of slang that emerges from social media, its role in forming social identity, and its impact on the use of formal language. In conclusion, social media plays a significant role in shaping student communication patterns, but efforts are needed to maintain a balance between language creativity and the use of standard language in formal contexts.

Exploring the Research Drive: Unveiling Motivation, Attitude, and Self-Efficacy among Public High School Teachers
Authors: Natividad Anna Corina , Perez Jeannie , Bondoc Bernardita Gwynne
Published: February 2025

This study endeavors to pinpoint the factors influencing research self-efficacy, a vital aspect requiring reinforcement among high school educators. Specifically, the research delves into the intricate dynamics of research self-efficacy, motivation, and attitude among secondary public-school teachers in Region 4-A, with a specific focus on Cavite, Philippines. Utilizing descriptive correlational research design, data were collected 115 public high school teachers selected via convenience sampling. The survey instrument comprised three sections: Self-efficacy in Research Methods and Statistics (SERMS), Research Attitude Scale (adapted from Shafqat et al., 2018), and Research Motivation Scale (adapted from Landicho, 2020). Results revealed that teachers exhibited high levels of attitude towards research, alongside both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. However, they reported lower levels of research self-efficacy. Mann-Whitney tests unveiled significant disparities in attitude, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation between Junior High School and Senior High School teachers while research self-efficacy showed no notable difference. Furthermore, Kendall’s Tau tests identified highly significant positive relationships among research self-efficacy, attitudes, and intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. These findings are pivotal, serving as foundational data for future interventions aimed at enhancing teachers’ research skills. They also inform the development of tailored research programs to address the specific needs of high school educators.

Water and Environmental Education: Pedagogical Field-Object in the Purépecha Indigenous Community of Naranja de Tapia, Michoacánagua
Authors: Chávez Durán José Fernando , López Paniagua Rosalía
Published: February 2025

The present work outlines the guidelines of an ongoing research project within the framework of the Doctorate in Education program at the Michoacan Institute of Educational Sciences. Linking formal educational processes with the community space of Indigenous peoples for the generation of environmental knowledge is a growing trend in educational research. This approach is based on the practice and experience of teachers and co-producing social actors, emphasizing the relationship between the school and community spheres.The body of contributions generated by educational experiences in the community's hydric and social space makes it a relevant pedagogical field-object. The interactions among community actors manifest in norms, knowledge, actions, and practices related to both natural and artificial objects associated with water. From Pierre Bourdieu’s field theory perspective, these interactions create a vast repertoire of cultural and social capital, which basic education teachers can integrate into didactic strategies within formal education curricula.The importance of proximity between the school and its community environment suggests the relevance of a curricular pedagogical intervention, intertwining the knowledge from official educational programs with that learned through everyday community life related to water use and management. This approach aligns with the framework of the New Mexican School. The ongoing research employs horizontal methodologies such as ethnographic work and participatory mapping.

Published: February 2025

The problem of waste management in Penrang Village is caused by the fact that many people are not yet aware of disposing of waste in its place, the lack of community participation due to the lack of understanding and legal awareness of the community in protecting the environment, the suboptimal management of waste by the local government through TPS3R, and the lack of community understanding regarding Pinrang Regency Regulation no. 7 of 2013 concerning Waste Management. Legal socialization is the best solution that can be offered, so the method of implementing the activities used in lectures and discussions between the PPMU-PK-M Team of Hasanuddin University with the village apparatus and the surrounding community. The community's lack of understanding and awareness regarding their role in waste management causes many problems related to environmental management, especially concerning waste management in Penrang Village. The number of cleaning staff in Penrang Village is also inadequate, so they are overwhelmed in carrying out their duties. The lack of officers hampers the distribution of household waste to the final disposal site. This is because many people refuse to pay their waste transportation fees, even though the fees are managed to become the wages of cleaning staff in the village. In this case, the local government should be able to resolve the issue of wages for cleaning staff in order to achieve good waste management in Penrang Subdistrict.

Published: February 2025

In this study, a total of 20 pastirma samples were collected from the Kayseri local market, and their physicochemical (moisture, pH) and microbiological (lactic acid bacteria, total yeast-mold, total mesophilic aerobic bacteria) properties were investigated. Moisture and pH values of samples ranged from 34.77 to 57.61% and 5.81 to 6.22, respectively. While LAB counts of samples ranged from <2 to 5.61 log CFU/g, TMAB counts were found between 3.89 and 8.60 log CFU/g. Yeast counts were highest in the P9 sample, while mold counts were highest in the P11 sample. In conclusion, these pastirma samples exhibited significant variability in the physicochemical and microbiological properties due to differences in sample type and production conditions. Furthermore, the use of different culture media led to variations in yeast and mold counts, highlighting the critical role of media selection in accurately assessing the microbiological characteristics of pastirma.

Veterinary nurses often assess patients postoperatively, so it is vital
to be able to recognise the signs of surgical site infections (SSIs). This
article considers the use of a three-tier system, which classifies SSIs on
their depth and the tissue(s) involved, to accurately report the incident.
It also describes the use of an active surveillance system to identify
trends and enable protocols to be put in place to reduce the incidence of
SSIs.
Management of mammary neoplasia in domestic cats
Authors: Mackintosh Chloe
Published: February 2025

Mammary neoplasia is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in
feline veterinary medicine, accounting for 17% of tumours found in companion
domestic cats (Felis catus). Diagnosis is based on a physical change to the
mammary glands, in conjunction with breeding history, neuter status, age of
spaying, and additional clinical signs that may suggest metastasis. A study
found that neutering female cats before 1 year of age reduced the risk of
mammary cancer by 86%, and neutering before 6 months of age reduced the risk
by 91%. Up to 90% of feline mammary tumours are potentially malignant and
therefore surgery is considered necessary in most cases. This article
discusses in more detail the aetiology and pathogenesis, clinical signs,
prevention and management of the disease, including surgery and
chemotherapy

Russian-Cuban Relations Since 1992
Authors:   Bain
Published: February 2025

This book addresses the relationship between the Russian Federation and Cuba from 1992 to the present, the period since the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Mervyn J. Bain analyzes the reasons why the relationship between Havana and Moscow continues to thrive even after the end of the Cold War and the death of international socialism. He argues that there are five main areas to be studied in order to understand why the Russians and Cubans have maintained close cultural and political ties well into the twenty-first century.

Bain first explores the effects the disintegration of the Soviet Union had on the relationship between Moscow and Havana in the years since 1992. He goes on to describe how the two countries have adapted (or failed to adapt) to the New World Order and the ways in which their foreign policy have changed the shape of their dialogue with each other. The third and fourth sections detail both the impact of globalization and the increased cultural, economic, and military exchange between Russians and Cubans. Bain concludes by showing readers the importance of placing the Russian-Cuban relationship in an international context, especially highlighting the influence of the United States over it. This book will be of interest to those interested in post-Soviet Russian foreign policy, Cuban foreign policy, and international relations.
Deep down Things
Authors:   Cirincione
Published: February 2025

Deep Down Things: Essays on Catholic Culture explores common threads that characterize Catholicism. The contributors look successively at: Catholic culture and everyday life of the parish and of work, at Catholic culture and the imaginative life of poets and fiction writers, and at Catholic culture and postmodern life where individual conscience, skepticism, and relativism challenge Church authority and faith itself. They do so while looking for foundational components that persist and comprise a culture that Catholics recognize regardless of their diverse ethnicity, geographic location, or historical epoch.

The authors of this collection have aimed to inspire both Catholics and non-Catholics alike, inside and outside the academic community, to deepen their own knowledge and appreciation of the Christian tradition generally and Catholic culture particularly. The authors hope to encourage sincere and open dialogue about Catholic culture (in the best tradition of Catholic thought) both to further the inquiry after truth and to enhance fruitful reflection upon Catholic culture and its contributions over time and across cultures.
Effigy
Authors: Cotton Allison
Published: February 2025

Effigy examines the images of a capital defendant portrayed, by the defense attorneys and the prosecutor, during the guilt and penalty phases of capital trial, the trial tactics used to impart these images, and the consequences that result from the jury's attempt to reconcile contradictory images to place one in permanent record as a verdict. These images are starkly contrasted against the backdrop of a brutal murder in which the stereotypes of American fear are realized: Donta Page, the defendant, is an African-American male from a low-income segment of society while Peyton Tuthill, the victim, was a Caucasian female from a middle-income suburb. The prosecuting attorneys depict the defendant as a 'savage beast,' juxtaposing their image against that of a 'troubled youth' as Page is portrayed by the defense attorneys. Slowly and methodically developed as figures with diametrically opposed features, none of which overlap or congeal, both the images are portrayed as real (buttressed by the testimony of witnesses) rather than constructed. The jury is expected to render a verdict that accepts one and rejects the other: there is no middle ground.
At War with Metaphor
Authors: Steuter Erin , Wills Deborah
Published: February 2025

When photographs documenting the torture and humiliation of prisoners at Abu Ghraib came to the attention of a horrified public, national and international voices were raised in shock, asking how this happened. At War with Metaphor offers an answer, arguing that the abuses of Abu Ghraib were part of a systemic continuum of dehumanization. This continuum has its roots in our public discussions of the war on terror and the metaphors through which they are repeatedly framed. Arguing earnestly and incisively that these metaphors, if left unexamined, bind us into a cycle of violence that will only be intensified by a responsive violence of metaphor, Steuter and Wills examine compelling examples of the images of animal, insect, and disease that inform, shape, and limit our understanding of the war on terror. Tying these images to historical and contemporary uses of propaganda through a readable, accessible analysis of media filters, At War with Metaphor vividly explores how news media, including political cartoons and talk radio, are enmeshed in these damaging, dehumanizing metaphors. Analyzing media through the lenses of race and Orientalism, it invites us to hold our media and ourselves accountable for the choices we make in talking war and making enemies.
God and Money
Authors: Wariboko Nimi
Published: February 2025

Making a case for a denationalized global currency as an alternative to the dollar, euro, and yen as the world vehicular and reserve currencies, God and Money explores the significance and theological-ethical implications of money as a social relation in the light of the dynamic relations of the triune God. Wariboko deftly analyzes the dynamics at work in the global monetary system and argues that the monarchical-currency structure of the dollar, euro, and yen may be moving toward a trinitarian structure of a democratic world currency.
Champions of a Free Society
Authors: Younkins Edward Wayne
Published: February 2025

This book is constructed around great thinkers of the past and present who have been influential in developing the philosophy of freedom. Its main purpose is to provide a survey and overview of the ideas of leading individual philosophers and economists of capitalism who have contributed to developing what might be called the classical liberal or libertarian worldview. Champions of a Free Society endeavors to provide a guide to political and economic thinking about the desirability and construction of a free society that is intelligible to the educated layperson. Edward Younkins provides an historical perspective of the pursuit of political and economic truth. The goal of this book is to present the development of ideas in language that permits generally educated readers to understand and appreciate their significance. The book's chronological approach considers the thinkers and their ideas as they have developed over the course of time. There is much unfulfilled illuminative potential to be found in the ideas of the past and Younkins successfully integrates the ideas of past and current thinkers into a logical contemporary worldview.
Of Khans and Kremlins
Authors: Graney Katherine E.
Published: February 2025

Katherine E. Graney examines one of the most important, puzzling, and ignored developments of the post-Soviet period: the persistence of the claim to possess state sovereignty by the ethnic republic of Tatarstan, one of the constituent members of the Russian Federation. In the first book by a Western scholar in English to chronicle the efforts made by the leadership of the Russian republic of Tatarstan to build and retain state sovereignty, Graney explores the many different dimensions of Tatarstan's move to become independent. By showing the 'sovereignty project' that the Tatarstani people have begun in order to realize their vision of becoming a separate political, social, and economic entity within the Russian Federation, Graney makes the case that this Tatarstani movement will significantly influence Russia's contemporary development in important and heretofore unrecognized ways. This book provides new insight into tackling policy issues regarding inter-ethnic relations and cultural pluralism within Russia, as well as within other European nations currently facing the same policy dilemmas.
Confronting Hitler
Authors: Smaldone William
Published: February 2025

The stories of the individual men and women who led German Social Democracy's failed efforts to fend off the Nazi onslaught in 1933 have largely been lost in the wake of the cataclysmic war, the Holocaust, and the division of Europe that followed Hitler's victory. Confronting Hitler recovers their stories and places them at center stage. In a series of biographical essays focusing on the experiences of ten leading Social Democratic activists, Smaldone examines their defeat in 1933 from the perspective of individuals enmeshed in political struggle. This study reveals what aspects of these activists' lives were most important in shaping their political outlook during the republic's final crisis and it illustrates the key factors that guided their actions in the effort to keep the republic alive. In addition, the biographies raise the important issue of the degree to which the defeat of German Social Democracy in 1933 is comparable to the experiences of other democratic socialist movements in the twentieth century.
Apologizing for Socrates
Authors: Danzig Gabriel
Published: February 2025

Apologizing for Socrates examines some of Plato's and Xenophon's Socratic writings, specifically those that address well-known controversiese concerning the life and death of Socrates. Gabriel Danzig argues that the effort to defend Socrates from a variety of contemporary charges helps explain some of the central philosophical arguments and literary features that appear in these works. Concentrating on the two Apologies, Crito, Euthyphro, Xenophon's Symposium and Memorabilia, Lysis, and Oeconommicus, Danzig argues that the apologetic efforts were essential for rebuilding the community of Socratic friends and companions, which was devastated by the trial and death of Socrates. The Socratic writings are not merely literary or philosophical endeavors, but also political acts of great competence.
The Logics of Globalization
Authors: Kavoori Anandam P.
Published: February 2025

This book presents the theoretical language and methodological tools needed for thinking through issues of global media representation. It brings students of international communication into a conversation about global culture and communication through the presentation of a conceptual language to discuss the 'logics of globalization' (i.e. nationalism, modernism, post-modernism/colonialism, capitalism and terrorism). Anandam Kavoori then uses this language to critically analyze various media texts. The choices of texts are eclectic-representing old and new media-and chosen for the wider 'logic' they help animate. Most importantly, they reorient the study of global media texts from the formal to the popular, examining film, music, gaming, cell phone, travel journalism, and performance texts. The book invites students to understand the complexity of global media representation-at the heart of which is the search for identity.
The Metaphysics of Capitalism
Authors: Micocci Andrea
Published: February 2025

The objective of this book is to construct an individually emancipatory economic and political philosophy. This means a concrete-based, man-centered, non-hypostatizing, anti-dialectical approach to the apprehension of the material, i.e. nature in general. This constitutes an emancipation from culture-based understandings of reality, and in particular from the metaphysically biased type of culture represented by capitalism. The proposed philosophical emancipation means individual liberation from the logically flawed, massifying character of the dominant mode of thought of capitalist times. From these bases, the social sciences can also be reformulated. Micocci argues that capitalism can be conceptualized as a limited and limiting socialized mode of thought, an intellectuality whose dialectical features are effectively identified by using the proxy of political economy, both marxist and mainstream. Political economy in fact, being a most representative instance of dialectical thinking, mirrors the dialectical nature of capitalist economic and political relationships. According to Micocci, non-dialectical occurrences in capitalism are simply excluded from normal social, economic, and intellectual activities, which are performed in a metaphysical, intellectually isolated environment. In capitalism, therefore, the materials, the concrete, i.e. nature itself, is not considered as a whole but only as occasional instances. Micocci describes capitalism, in sum, as an intellectually constructed culture (a metaphysics) which preserves itself, and props itself up, by means of its iterative (market-like) functioning.
The Trouble with America
Authors: Long Kenneth J.
Published: February 2025

The Trouble with America critiques the theory and practice of American government, focusing on the fatal flaws of America's core political arrangements. Institutionalized pluralism, the structural dispersal of power, generates government too weak to solve our public problems. American constitutionalism, the limitation of government power and authority, protects property rights far better than it defends our civil liberties, and it offers little or no protection for non-citizens. Capitalism is a hyper-competitive and grossly unfair economic system, which rewards pre-existing wealth far better than hard work or talent, and encourages petty materialist consumption of mostly low-quality goods, undermining taste as well as fairness. Taken together, pluralism, constitutionalism, and capitalism in America harm our society in a myriad of ways, leaving us with inadequate representation, poor leadership, social and political paralysis and irresponsibility, unrealistic self-images, and scandalously poor domestic and foreign policies. This book will prove a valuable supplement in American government courses, an alternative to the centrist material currently dominating textbooks on this subject.
Prying Open Fortress Europe
Authors: Caviedes Alexander
Published: February 2025

Prying Open Fortress: The Turn to Sectoral Labor Migration is unique in the field of migration studies since it traces the microeconomic motivations of the relevant economic actors who influence labor migration policy. The book updates the study of the political economy of immigration through a focus on the central and pro-active role of employers, exploring how they interact with trade unions and government to reconfigure the labor migration paradigm in Western Europe. By doing so, it is attentive to the logic behind their strategies, being sensitive to macroeconomic changes that produce sectorally variant policy outcomes. Beyond offering a micro-economically informed explanation for immigration policy, the study transcends the field of migration studies by offering insights relevant to larger debates concerning the nature of national varieties of capitalism. Challenging the 'national models' understanding of capitalism through a multi-country, multi-sectoral study of employers' policy preferences, it demonstrates how in the area of labor migration, economic branches evidence different worker flexibility needs that lead to differing policy results within countries yet similar responses in the same industries of different countries. Though the book's case studies examine policy development and the role of German, British, Austrian, and Dutch employers, the central comparison is that of Germany, with its highly regulated economy, to the more laissez-faire UK. The book analyzes labor migration policy with four concentrations: IT, hospitality, construction and metalwork, the impact of differing worker flexibility requirements upon employer calculations to make findings more obvious.
