Published: September 2024

The arthropod fauna associated with rose at Udaipur comprised of 17 species of insects (6 pests and 11 pollinators). The pests included were thrips, aphids, the rose bud caterpillar, black flies and the scurfy rose scale while, pollinators included members of Hymenoptera and Diptera. During the crop season, the peak populations of thrips, aphids and larvae of rose bud caterpillar were recorded in the first week of April (9.80 thrips flower buds-1), first week of March (17.04 aphids flower buds-1) and first week of March (0.56 larvae flower-1), respectively. The mean atmospheric temperature evinced a positive correlation with thrips (r=0.832), rose bud caterpillar (r=0.607) and insect pollinators. Thrips (r=0.583) and aphids (r=0.622) had a significant positive correlation with sunshine, whereas the relative humidity indicates significant negative correlation with thrips (r=-0.720), aphids (r=0.581) and rose bud caterpillar (r=-0.817), respectively. The population of pollinators showed a significant positive correlation (r=0.573) with the mean atmospheric temperature; while a significant negative correlation (r=-0.769) with relative humidity. The relative density of pollinators visiting rose comprised: honeybees, A. florae & A. dorsata with 68.24 per cent; solitary bees (12.08%) and dipteran flies (19.55%). Most pollinators preferred to visit rose flowers during 9 to 11 hours of the day

Authors: Subramanian Suresh
Published: September 2024

Capitalists come up with creative and innovative concepts, but a lack of finance limits their untapped economic potential. There are several channels that new entrepreneurs may use and take advantage of to attract money and other financial resources when beginning a firm thanks to current technology, which has drastically altered the way business is done on a broad scale. An entrepreneur uses the Internet to promote his concept to potential backers through crowdfunding. Online crowdfunding has labored to develop several advanced platforms that may serve as an interface to the fundraising process for a certain concept or project. Typically, the owner of the concept explores the market and does extensive research through a variety of channels, with the Internet assisting in moving ahead and making the idea actual. In truth, the owner of the concept frequently suffers obstacles and financial issues, therefore crowdsourcing helps to alleviate these issues. In this study, machine learning methods were used to train the system on the given data, beginning with the theme, followed by the blurb, which is the topic description, and finally by the topic category. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) were employed as machine learning approaches to accomplish the goal. This study employs a variety of text classification algorithms, including Support Vector Machine (SVM), EXtreme Gradient Boosting (XG), K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), and Random Forest (RF), to propose and forecast subject categories. Each algorithm performed differently in terms of precision, predictability, positive rate, and model correctness. SVM was the highest performance measuremen.

China’s Nine-Year Compulsory Education Policy and Rural Women’s Education
Authors: Lyu Jiajing
Published: September 2024

Globally, education is often regarded as a basic human right. In order to guarantee this right, many countries have adopted various measures to ensure universal access to an inclusive and fair quality education, without leaving anyone behind. The UNICEF (2017) Convention on the Rights of the Child provides tenets of the child’s right to education, education should focus on the all-round development of children’s personalities and promote mutual understanding, tolerance, friendship, and peace by respecting their personal cultural backgrounds. The draft UNESCO Education 2030 Framework for Action (UNESCO 2015) involves ensuring an inclusive and fair basic education and providing lifelong learning opportunities for all (Webb et al., 2017). The implementation of compulsory education and the comprehensive development of a modern education system thus are importance to countries such as China. In fact, the implementation of the compulsory education policy in contemporary China is regarded as the main task of the government, which means that the “right to education” is a top priority (Chang, 2010). However, although various levels of governments are making significant efforts to promote the development of compulsory education in rural areas, there is still a major gap in terms of the quality and attainment within China education, especially along urban-rural divides. Children from impoverished backgrounds, typically rural areas, have a much higher risk of dropping out than their urban peers after completing elementary school. Therefore, this dissertation seeks to present the difficult situation rural women find themselves in concerning education. It proposes two research questions that 1) Does China’s nine-year compulsory education policy include initiatives to address gender inequalities, such as the higher rates of illiteracy amongst rural women and girls, and what evidence is available on the extent of the policy’s effectiveness in this regard? 2) How are issues of gender inequality experienced by rural women and girls in China in the context of the enactment of the nine-year compulsory education policy? Analysing the implementation of China’s nine-year compulsory education policy in rural area, whilst investigating the inequality that rural women suffer.

Faithfulness Fails to Fix it All: A Corpus-Driven Investigation into English Translation Issues in Abstracts of Chinese Civil Engineering Research Articles
Authors: Wang Yujun
Published: September 2024

The primary concern in translating research article abstracts into English is to ensure accuracy and efficiency. This study established two corpora: CCEJAC (Chinese Civil Engineering Journal Abstract Corpus) and ICEJAC (International Civil Engineering Journal Abstract Corpus). The paper applied Hyland’s five-move model and established ten sub-corpora for comparative studies of equivalent moves in CCEJAC and ICEJAC. It was observed that CCEJAC and ICEJAC differ in both lexical and syntactic levels. Specifically, differences were found in the use of general academic vocabulary and bundles, as well as in sentence length and focus. It can be concluded that translation versions in CCEJAC prioritize preserving the literal meaning and the original sentence structures, which may end in undesirable outcomes. These contrasts are the main factors contributing to English translation issues. To address these, this study thoroughly investigated the English translation issues in each move in CCEJAC. The aim is to refine English versions of abstracts to be more concise and practical, in a bid to further facilitate academic communication between Chinese and international scholars in the field of civil engineering.

Authors: Chen Chengfang
Published: September 2024

Canadian director Denis Villeneuve has carved a distinctive niche in the realm of science fiction cinema with his unique spatial design aesthetics. This paper examines his directorial works including Dune, Blade Runner 2049, and Arrival, exploring how he intricately reveals complex relationships among human emotions, societal structures, and future technologies through natural landscapes, architectural styles, and narrative temporality. Natural landscapes serve not merely as backgrounds but as profound mediators of emotional dialogue with characters. Architectural styles not only align with world-building but also embody technological practicality and functionality. Narrative temporality, employing non-linear structures, deepens inner struggles of characters and exploration of destiny. Villeneuve’s films dazzle not only visually but also provoke profound contemplation on human existence and cosmic significance.
Parasite: An Interpretation of the Portrayal of Characters in Korean Realistic Films
Authors: Xiao Yuanyuan
Published: September 2024

Realistic films are not uncommon in the development history of Korean films, and even some of them are rampant, but Parasite shows that in real life, the success of this film cannot be separated from the actor’s interpretation of the characters in the film and the director’s grasp of the character shaping. Multi-dimensional depiction and interpretation of the film’s character image was shaped fuller of three-dimensional sense. Although the film focuses on the social life of different classes in Korea, it surpasses the apparent pessimism caused by the difference between the rich and the poor, and skillfully uses violence aesthetics to present the fate tragedy of characters of different classes.[i] From the perspective of character image shaping and design, this paper will interpret the characters with different endings and their fates in the movie Parasite by taking the three families of President Park, Kim Ki-taek and former housekeeper Moon Kwang as examples.

The Implications of Criminal Responsibility on Law Enforcement Officers in Cameroon: Sanctions and Enforcement Mechanisms
Authors: Eta Ayuketang Brandon
Published: September 2024

Let me be clear-no one is above the law. Not a politician, not a priest, not a criminal, not a police officer. We are all accountable for our actions. Over the past years, Cameroon has witnessed an increase in misconducts committed by Law Enforcement Officers especially in the Far North, North-West and South-West Regions. This has caused the government to take drastic measures in ensuring that they are accountable before the law. The State of Cameroon has put in place legal, policy and institutional frameworks as well as administrative platforms to sanction such Officers. These notwithstanding, the abusive functions of some officers have regrettably gained grounds at an alarming rate in Cameroon. This paper therefore dwells on the judicial and administrative sanctions which can be meted against recalcitrant Law Enforcement Officers in Cameroon. This paper does so through accessing some legal frameworks, court decisions, administrative acts taken by the Minister Delegate at the Presidency in charge of Defense, Delegate-General of National Security and other persons in authorities having control over these officers. The data thus collected constitutes the sources upon which this paper is founded. The findings revealed that the trial of these officers is basically hindered through the involvement of the executive amidst other factors. The findings equally reveal the dire need for the implementation of the penal laws. It recommends that there should be an independent body to police the investigation of crimes committed by them and thereby answering the question of who polices these officers, and the judiciary should be given free hand to act. All these is offered with the view of enhancing the criminal trial of Law Enforcement officers in Cameroon without hampering the smooth running of their duties.
The Impact of Attachment Styles on the Depth of Self-Disclosure and Topic Selection in Initial Psychotherapy Sessions
Authors: Ellington D. R.
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the significant influence of attachment styles on self-disclosure and topic selection in initial psychotherapy sessions, examining how secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment patterns impact the therapeutic process and outcomes. Attachment theory, as developed by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, provides a framework for understanding the internal working models that individuals carry into therapy, affecting their openness and engagement. Securely attached clients tend to disclose more freely, facilitating stronger therapeutic alliances, while those with anxious attachment may require reassurance to mitigate fears of rejection. Avoidant clients often struggle with emotional intimacy, necessitating gradual trust-building strategies, and disorganized clients benefit from structured, trauma-informed approaches. Through case studies and research findings, the paper underscores the importance of tailoring therapeutic strategies to accommodate attachment-related dynamics, enhancing client engagement and therapeutic success. The implications for practice include the need for therapist training focused on recognizing and adapting to diverse attachment styles, fostering personalized and effective therapeutic interventions. Future research directions are suggested to further explore the intersection of attachment styles with cultural and socio-economic factors, and to develop specialized techniques for optimizing therapy based on attachment patterns.

Authors: Esposito M. R. , Rosa C. L. De
Published: September 2024

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, particularly in enhancing blood flow and modulating neuromuscular function. This study investigates the impact of short-term NO supplementation on muscular power and neuromuscular adaptation in strength athletes, with a focus on biomechanical and neurological regulation. Thirty experienced strength athletes were randomly assigned to either a NO supplementation group or a placebo group for 14 days. The primary outcomes measured were peak power output across three key resistance exercises (back squat, bench press, and deadlift) and neuromuscular adaptation, assessed through electromyography (EMG) and motor unit recruitment patterns. The results demonstrated a significant increase in peak power output in the NO group compared to the placebo group, with average improvements of 8.5%, 7.2%, and 9.1% in the back squat, bench press, and deadlift, respectively. Additionally, the NO group showed enhanced neuromuscular efficiency, evidenced by increased EMG amplitude and improved motor unit recruitment patterns. A positive correlation was observed between corticospinal excitability and peak power output, suggesting that NO supplementation enhances neural drive, contributing to better performance outcomes. These findings indicate that short-term NO supplementation can effectively improve muscular power and neuromuscular adaptation, making it a valuable strategy for strength athletes aiming to optimize their training and performance.
The Role of Competitive vs. Recreational Group Sports in Reducing Social Anxiety among Chinese Teenagers
Authors: Wang Yuyang
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the impact of competitive and recreational group sports on reducing social anxiety among Chinese adolescents. Through a comparative analysis, the study highlights the distinct benefits offered by each type of sport. Competitive sports, with their structured and goal-oriented nature, are shown to build confidence and resilience, which can help reduce social anxiety in some participants. However, the pressure associated with competition may exacerbate anxiety in others. In contrast, recreational sports provide a low-pressure, inclusive environment that encourages social interaction and gradual anxiety reduction, making them particularly effective for those more sensitive to social stress. The findings suggest that a hybrid approach, integrating elements of both competitive and recreational sports, could offer a balanced solution, catering to the diverse needs of adolescents. Implications for sports program development include the importance of tailoring programs to individual needs, creating supportive environments, and conducting long-term evaluations to maximize the benefits for participants’ social and emotional well-being.

Authors: Navarro-López Silvia E. , Mendieta-Quiñones Jorge R.
Published: September 2024

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that adversely affect children’s academic performance and behavior in classroom settings. Current ADHD management strategies, primarily pharmacological and behavioral, have limitations, prompting the exploration of alternative interventions. This study investigates the effects of a 12-week structured running training program on improving classroom attention in children with ADHD. Thirty children aged 7 to 12 years participated in a single-group intervention study, with attention, behavior, mood, and physical fitness assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up. Results showed significant improvements in classroom attention, as evidenced by reduced scores on the Conners’ Teacher Rating Scale-Revised (CTRS-R) and fewer errors on the Continuous Performance Test (CPT). Secondary outcomes indicated notable reductions in hyperactive-impulsive behaviors, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, as well as enhanced physical fitness. These findings suggest that structured running programs may be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for enhancing attention and behavior in children with ADHD. Further research should explore the long-term effects and underlying mechanisms of such interventions and investigate their integration into comprehensive ADHD management plans.
Understanding the Entanglements of Ecofeminism, Food, and Place: An Indian Perspective
Authors: Mohanty Elisa
Published: September 2024

Ecofeminism examines issues at the intersections of gender and environment. It equates the subordination of women with the exploitation of nature. This study is premised on secondary literature. Utilizing the lenses of Chaone Mallory’s (2013) encounters between ecofeminism, food, and place, it examines such entanglements from an Indian perspective. Drawing on studies conducted in the Indian context, it brings forth the promises and challenges afforded by ecofeminist representations of environmental issues. It acknowledges the role of women in local communities as repositories of indigenous knowledge systems and living embodiments of sustainable environmental practices. It calls forth the need to strike at the roots of their oppression to solicit their enhanced participation in environmental conservation. Running through the oeuvre of this analysis is a passionate plea to reflexively engage with local knowledge systems, which are often dismissed as irrational and unscientific by dominant paradigms of development.

Authors: Paulino Sabrina de Sousa , Pereira Ana Carolina Costa
Published: September 2024

A necessidade de articular teoria e prática tem sido tema de debate no âmbito da educação ao longo da história. Como forma de suprir essa necessidade, estudiosos dos séculos XV a XVII produziram e publicaram diversos livros, tratados e almanaques acerca das mais diversas áreas de conhecimento, como é o caso da Matemática. A partir dessas publicações, foi possível não apenas disseminar teorias matemáticas, mas também o acesso a formas de construção e utilização de instrumentos matemáticos que associassem os conhecimentos à prática. Dessa forma, esse estudo tem o objetivo de descrever a aplicação do instrumento Régua de Carpinteiro no experimento didático “Explorando o conceito de fração a partir da Régua de Carpinteiro”, realizado na disciplina de Laboratório de Ensino de Aritmética (LEA), na Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE). Para isso, adotou-se uma metodologia descritiva, a qual se deteve em observar, analisar e ordenar as informações fornecidas pelos discentes, sem alterá-las. A partir disso, foi possível identificar, na percepção dos discentes acerca do instrumento, que a Régua de Carpinteiro possui, em seu processo de construção, conceitos matemáticos que estão presentes na Educação Básica ainda durante o século XXI, tais como representação de fração, multiplicação, divisão e simplificação de frações, além de frações equivalentes. Dessa maneira, é possível concluir que a inserção desse recurso histórico na Educação Básica, após um tratamento didático adequado, proporciona aos alunos uma compreensão concreta dos conceitos de frações, subdivisões e medidas, promovendo um aprendizado significativo, tornando-se uma ferramenta potencialmente didática na Interface entre História e ensino de Matemática (IHM).

Diante dos inúmeros desafios encontrados no ensino e aprendizagem de conteúdos matemáticos, a formação inicial de professores que ensinam Matemática (PEM) ganha um olhar mais atento e se torna cada vez mais alvo de pesquisas. Através destas, teóricos discutem sobre os conhecimentos essenciais para o ensino da Matemática. Neste trabalho, eles são apresentados através das ideias de Pimenta (1997), Lima, Santos e Borges Neto (2010) e Curi (2011). De modo particular, observou-se como esses conhecimentos estão inseridos na formação de PEM na FECLESC/UECE, nos cursos de licenciatura em Pedagogia e Matemática. Assim, com base nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos, entendeu-se que os currículos de ambos os cursos abordam esses conhecimentos de forma incompleta, resultando em práticas de ensino limitadas e inflexíveis. Por isso, com o objetivo de minimizar essas lacunas na formação inicial de PEM na FECLESC, o LaboMática, por meio do seu Projeto de Extensão em Educação Matemática, realizou o Curso Matemática pela Base, este com o propósito de promover o estudo de conteúdos matemáticos e diferentes estratégias didáticas para ensiná-los na Educação Básica. Após o término do Curso, surgiu entre os ministrantes o questionamento sobre que influências ele teve na formação dos estudantes dos cursos de Pedagogia e Matemática que dele participaram. A fim de responder essa pergunta, o presente artigo recorreu à pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo estudo de caso, utilizando os comentários orais e escritos dos estudantes e as observações feitas no percurso da formação, tendo como objetivo averiguar a influência do LaboMática na formação inicial de PEM, utilizando como base o Curso de Extensão Matemática pela Base. Conforme a investigação realizada no LaboMática e a avaliação dos participantes, as atividades desenvolvidas no Curso se mostraram promissoras, permitindo aos licenciandos adquirir conhecimentos sobre currículo, conteúdos e metodologias inerentes ao ensino de Matemática, além de valorizar a experiência e o uso de material concreto. Diante dessa experiência, ficou evidente que o LaboMática desempenha um papel importante na formação de PEM e que suas iniciativas são essenciais para enriquecer os seus currículos, contribuir com suas práticas pedagógicas e na constituição de suas identidades como docentes.

Published: September 2024

Esse trabalho teve como objetivo geral: analisar o panorama de publicações das últimas edições em anais de eventos como o ECeEM, o ENEM e o SIPEM, no viés da Teoria Antropológica do Didático – TAD na perspectiva da Educação Básica.  O questionamento a ser respondido por meio desse estudo foi: Qual é o cenário de publicações em anais de eventos como o ECeEM, o ENEM e o SIPEM sobre a TAD na perspectiva da Educação Básica, entre as últimas edições subsidiadas? Para esse fim, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica de abordagem qualitativa de caráter descritivo. Nesse mapeamento, visitamos os anais das últimas edições dos seguintes eventos: I – ECeEM; XVI ENEM e o VIII SIPEM. Os resultados obtidos apontam para um significativo número de trabalhos voltados para a TAD com foco na Educação Básica, com maior concentração nas edições do ENEM e do SIPEM. Nesse contexto, percebe – se o papel da TAD como um importante aporte teórico para analisar as organizações voltadas para o Saber a Ensinar, fase da Transposição Didática Externa responsável pela elaboração de propostas para subsidiar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem no interior das instituições de ensino. Além disso, percebemos que uma das ferramentas da teoria mais utilizada nesses estudos é a praxeologia, direcionada para análise praxeológica em Livros Didáticos e documentos oficiais. Ademais, há também a utilidade de outros dispositivos da TAD, tais como o Percurso de Estudo e Pesquisa – PEP, os níveis de co-determinação didática, bem como discussões voltadas para objetos ostensivos e não – ostensivos. Concluindo, através desse estudo, pudemos observar o panorama de publicações voltadas para a TAD na Educação Básica, além de algumas de suas ferramentas utilizadas com mais frequência para realizar análise de propostas de ensino.
Gamification as an e-learning tool: A Literature Review
Authors: Halachev Petar
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the article is to highlight the status of gamification of the educational process as an element of e-learning. The use of the game space in the educational process requires compliance with a number of specific conditions, so the task of the study is to determine the organisational and functional characteristics of gamification. The methodology involves the use of the principles of qualitative research, which analyses scientific views (53 sources were analysed) on the use of gamification in the educational process. The systematic literature review is conducted using the PRISMA 2020 flowchart, which allowed for a variable selection of sources relevant to the study of the current problem. The results of the study indicate the following trends in the positioning of gamification tools in the e-learning cluster: auxiliary status of gamification (42%), reinforcing status of the game factor (39%), alternative status of game-based learning (15%), negative feedback on the actualisation of gamification (4%). The literature review confirms the trend of involving a game case in the educational paradigm. At the same time, the role and format of gamification does not have a clear algorithm for implementation and functioning in learning activities, which indicates the need to streamline this cluster of e-learning. The scientific and pedagogical discourse today does not have a clear answer to the general positioning of gamification in the educational system. Institutionally, gamification is enshrined in educational strategies due to global trends in the digitalisation of society, but at the organisational and functional level, there are contradictions about the status of the game space in the structure of e-learning. The study identified two cases of game-based learning platforms in the innovative educational space: an autonomous online game-based learning format (54%) and a game tool as an element of the digital learning environment (46%). The scientific novelty of the study is focused on the correlation of indicators of quantitative increase in the level of gamification and qualitative indicators of the effectiveness of this e-learning case. Prospects for scientific research are focused on developing a strategy for the development of gamification in the educational sphere in general and in the context of e-learning in particular. Conclusion. Thus, gamification has gained positions in the e-learning system and is forming its own niche in the educational paradigm. The rapid digitalisation of the socio-cultural space causes the diversity and disorder of the organisation of the e-learning game case (especially in the context of the educational and pedagogical status), which is expressed in the scientific discourse of the last five years.
Adaptive Cross-cultural Pedagogy Theory: Cross-cultural Teaching Experiences of J1 Filipino Teachers
Authors: Villaver Marlon
Published: September 2024

he Adaptive Cross-Cultural Pedagogy Theory (ACPT) delves into the experiences of Filipino teachers in the Teacher Exchange Program, focusing on enhancing pedagogical practices and classroom dynamics. This study utilizes a qualitative research methodology called Constructivist Grounded Theory attributed by K. Charmaz (2006). This first iteration involved six participants. This study employs iterative coding and analysis, including initial, focused, and axial coding. In this study, four key propositions emerge: (i) Pedagogical practices improve classroom dynamics, highlighting the importance of modifying teaching methods, strategies, and approaches to enhance the overall classroom atmosphere. (ii) customization and contextualization of instructional materials enhance cross-cultural understanding, emphasizing the strategic approach employed by J1 teachers to adapt materials and curriculum to diverse educational settings. (ii) classroom management techniques increase student engagement and cultural awareness, addressing the intricate aspects of maintaining order, managing behavior, and fostering a conducive learning environment. (iv) cultivation of cultural competence increases engagement in professional development activities, underscoring the vital role of cross-cultural experiences in fostering teachers' growth and competence. These propositions collectively contribute to the development of ACPT, offering insights into the dynamic interconnections between pedagogical practices, cultural competence, classroom management, and professional development among J1 teachers.
