Mëranao Swear Words: Gender and Cultural Identity in Profanity
Authors: Regaro Jamilah , Balgoa Nelia
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This ethnographic study investigates the Mëranao swear words used by men, women, and homosexuals in Marawi City. Data from ten informants were analyzed employing critical discourse analysis. It identifies and examines the many aspects of Mëranao cursing, including the emotions and reasons behind them. Swear words vary among Mëranao men, women, and homosexuals. Firstly, it was revealed that swear words such as: myabuno ka (may you get killed) and kiniyowan ka si ina ka (fuck your own mother) are the harshest
curses for men since the former touches the killing issue in the Mëranao society and the latter shows disrespect to their mothers. Secondly, women loathe swear words such as: myawit ka kambawata (may you die during childbirth), datla (flirt), “takyo” (whore), and
darwaka(immoral) since they question their chastity and femininity. Thirdly, homosexuals find kyamorkaan ka o Allah (May God punish you) discriminating as it makes them feel sinful and unaccepted in the society. Repetition of the swear word or phrase, such as tingga-
tinggas and myabuno-buno instead of tininggas and myatinggas double the severity of cursing. Homosexual slangs such as shundu and myatirifud and other euphemisms are becoming more prevalent among Mëranaos including men and women since they find it non-
offensive, particularly when they use swear words for stylistic expression. From these, it can be said that notions of swearing are shaped by the gender of the participants. Contextualizing profanity also entails the understanding of culture and religion which both play a major part in the identity of the Mëranaos.

Published: January 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on individuals, health systems, and economies globally. Despite the administration of 13.3 billion vaccine doses worldwide, which has mitigated the devastating effects of the COVID-19 virus, children under five years of age in the Philippines remain vulnerable, as vaccination for this age group has not yet been authorized. This study explores the variables that influence the intent of parents to vaccinate their six-month-old to four-year-old children against the COVID-19 virus. A face-to-face survey was conducted on 200 parents with children aged six-month-old to four-year-old in Iligan City, Philippines from August to October 2022. The findings revealed that 47% of the respondents expressed vaccination intent for their children. Regression analysis showed that intention differed by sex, educational attainment, religious affiliation, and vaccination status, in which male, Catholic, college-degree holders, and vaccinated parents stated higher intention to vaccinate children. Under the Health Belief Model, perceived barriers (p<0.01), self-efficacy (p<0.01), and cues-to-action (p<0.01) were predictors of children's vaccination intention, while no significant relationship existed between parental intent and the perceptions of susceptibility and severity of contracting the virus and benefits of vaccines. Based on the findings, the following recommendations are proposed: Firstly, government and health institutions should implement strategies to increase vaccine uptake among parents. Secondly, future programs should be designed to address barriers and empower parents to make informed decisions regarding their children's health. Finally, Special attention should be given to mothers, individuals without a college degree, non-Catholic parents, and unvaccinated parents to enhance trust and compliance with COVID-19 vaccination programs targeting this age group.

Published: January 2025

This research describes the experiences of small-scale fisheries (SSF) concerning the coastal development project in Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte. This initiative aims to enhance the municipality’s fisheries sector to reinvigorate fishing activities through the development of a boulevard, enhancement of existing fish landings, and development of a commercial building for the agri-aqua industry in the municipality. Despite the promising prospects of such an initiative, various literature revealed that there have been concerns regarding the sustainability of small-scale fisheries within the context of the blue economy. Utilizing a descriptive research design, this study uses surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions to analyze the SSF's awareness, perception, knowledge, and participation in the proposed coastal development. Salient findings reveal that SSF in Poblacion are predominantly middle-aged, married men, with moderate involvement and positive insights in coastal development. However, they face numerous challenges encompassing inadequate socio- economic support, shifting weather patterns, and a lack of institutional assistance being the most prominent. These challenges exacerbate the difficulties encountered by the coastal SSF community, compounded by evolving market conditions and changes in livelihoods, which further strain their resilience. These emphasize the critical need for community engagement and the establishment of sustained support and monitoring mechanisms to advocate for sustainable coastal development. Recommendations include the rigorous implementation of Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) campaigns, as well as the establishment of a barangay coastal resource management plan to promote participatory planning practices. Emphasis is placed on the importance of early and frequent stakeholder interaction to comprehend various stakeholders’ perspectives.

Authors: D. P. Yesane  , R. V. Bhortake
Published: January 2025

Residual stresses generated during the roll forming process play a critical role in defect formation, as well as influencing the strength and behavior of the material. Traditionally, these residual stresses are measured through experimental methods, which are often costly. This study introduces a novel approach by providing an analytical solution for the coiling and uncoiling process of metal sheets, particularly focusing on Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS), which serves as input for the roll forming process. An analytical model has been developed for the coiling and uncoiling processes, considering the elastic-plastic plane strain pure bending of AHSS. The model employs the von Mises yield criterion and the Prandtl-Reuss flow rule to derive the analytical solution. The accuracy of the analytical predictions is validated by comparing them with experimental results obtained through the X-ray diffraction method. The experimental results show a close match with the analytical predictions. Consequently, the findings present a rapid and efficient method for measuring residual stresses, marking a significant advancement in the field.
SPIRITUAL HYBRIDITY IN ANA CASTILLO'S FEMALE CHARACTERS: A STUDY OF SO FAR FROM GOD AND THE MIXQUIAHUALA LETTERS
Authors: Dr Minu Mary Mathew  , Dr Neethu Tessa Baby
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the spiritual hybridity in Ana Castillo's novels "So Far From God" and "The Mixquiahuala Letters," focusing on the unique spiritual journeys of Mexican-American women. Castillo's storytelling delves into the complexities of spiritual identities, blending Catholicism with indigenous beliefs, curanderismo, and feminist ideologies. The paper examines how Castillo's female characters navigate the intersection of these diverse belief systems, challenging the traditional patriarchal structures within the Chicano community and the Catholic Church. Highlighting the criticism of the Catholic Church by Chicana activists, the paper discusses how Castillo's characters retain their Catholic faith while becoming politically conscious feminists. This synthesis challenges the binary view of being either a feminist or a Catholic, emphasizing the coexistence of feminist perspectives with traditional beliefs. In "So Far From God," Castillo portrays characters like Sofi, Esperanza, and Caridad, who embody spiritual syncretism as resistance, empowerment, and healing. This blend of traditions offers resilience against societal norms and historical wounds. Similarly, "The Mixquiahuala Letters" reveals the intertwined nature of feminism and spirituality through the correspondence between Teresa and Alicia, where their feminist spirituality acts as both a personal empowerment tool and a means of political resistance. The paper concludes that Castillo's portrayal of spiritual hybridity in these novels is central to the self-discovery, assertion, and communal union of her female characters. Their spirituality, a mix of endurance, survival, and empowerment, challenges stereotypes and patriarchal assumptions in Chicano communities. Castillo's narrative underscores the importance of spiritual hybridity in cultural and political resistance, offering a transformative perspective on the lives and struggles of Mexican-American women.

Published: January 2025

Spalling yang disebabkan oleh paparan klorida yang tinggi pada girder jembatan menimbulkan ancaman signifikan terhadap integritas struktural dan keselamatan pengguna. Penelitian ini berfokus pada evaluasi efektivitas perbaikan lokal menggunakan Sika Grouting yang dikombinasikan dengan perkuatan menggunakan Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) pada balok beton bertulang yang mengalami spalling. Dua belas balok, termasuk balok kontrol dan variasi balok dengan perbaikan grouting (BGR), perkuatan GFRP (BGRS), serta kombinasi keduanya dengan U-Wrap pada tumpuan (BGRST), diuji untuk menganalisis pengaruh intervensi tersebut terhadap kapasitas beban. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa perbaikan grouting saja (BGR) menghasilkan penurunan kapasitas beban hingga 51,58% dibandingkan dengan balok kontrol, mengindikasikan bahwa perbaikan lokal saja tidak cukup untuk mengembalikan kinerja struktural sepenuhnya. Namun, kombinasi grouting dan perkuatan GFRP (BGRS) terbukti efektif dalam mempertahankan masa layan beban, meskipun belum mencapai kapasitas beban balok kontrol. Sementara itu, perkuatan komprehensif dengan grouting, GFRP, dan U-Wrap (BGRST) menunjukkan peningkatan kapasitas beban sebesar 8,1% dibandingkan balok kontrol, menandakan potensi metode ini dalam meningkatkan kinerja struktural balok yang rusak. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kombinasi perbaikan lokal dengan Sika Grouting dan perkuatan menggunakan GFRP, terutama dengan penambahan U-Wrap pada tumpuan, menawarkan solusi yang efektif dan berkelanjutan untuk mengatasi masalah spalling pada girder jembatan. Pendekatan ini sangat relevan dalam konteks keterbatasan anggaran dan kebutuhan perbaikan yang mendesak, memberikan alternatif yang layak untuk menjaga integritas dan keamanan infrastruktur jembatan.

The biomechanical mechanism of muscle strength and explosive power enhancement in college basketball training
Authors: Pan Jinxing
Published: January 2025

Muscle strength and explosive power (EP) are essential attributes for basketball players, enabling them to perform jumping, sprinting, and speed or velocity changes. This research investigated the biomechanical mechanisms of EP and muscle strength enhancement in college basketball players by evaluating the effects of RT, PT, and combined (RT + PT) training methods. Two hundred and fifty male college basketball players were randomly allocated to four categories: G1 (Control), G2 (RT), G3 (PT), and G4 (RT + PT). The intervention lasted 8 weeks with training sessions occurring twice per week. The RT group performed resistance exercises (e.g., squats, deadlifts), the PT group conducted plyometric exercises (e.g., jump squats, box jumps), and the RT + PT group combined both approaches with one session of RT and one session of PT each week. The Control group did not engage in any structured training. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included VJH, 1RM squat strength, 10-meter sprint time (TST), SLHD, and IAT, with limb symmetry assessed using the symmetry angle. All intervention groups (RT, PT, RT + PT) showed significant improvements in VJH, 1RM squat strength, TST, SLHD, and IAT performance (p < 0.05) compared to the Control group. However, no significant differences were observed between the RT, PT, and RT + PT groups regarding performance gains. The findings suggest that RT, either alone or combined with plyometric training, should be prioritized to optimize strength, power, and limb coordination in basketball players.

Authors: Li Yuanqing , Liu Ming , Wang Dinggong
Published: January 2025

The application effect of computer ultrasound images in the diagnosis of tendon diseases caused by athletic injuries and the efficacy of optimized treatment plans were explored. One hundred and thirty-five patients with tendon diseases due to athletic injuries treated in a local tertiary hospital during the period of March 2021–September 2023 were selected as the study subjects, and they were separated into three groups of control group 1, control group 2 and research group by randomization method, with 45 patients in each group. Control group 1 was diagnosed using MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging); control group 2 used conventional diagnostic methods; the research group used computer ultrasound images for diagnosis. This study focused on observing the cellular responses to tendon injuries and how different diagnostic methods and treatment plans affect these responses. By comparing the specificity, sensitivity, accuracy of diagnoses, as well as the elastic modulus value, pain level, and satisfaction of tendons at different time periods after treatment among the three groups, we aimed to understand the role of computer ultrasound images in monitoring the cellular changes during the healing process. The average accuracy of the eight diagnoses in the research group (97.78%) was significantly greater than that of control group 1 (84.999%) and control group 2 (72.223%), and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). On the 40th day of treatment, the elastic modulus of the tendons of the research group patients reached 169.8 kPa; the control group 1 was 141.1 kPa; the control group 2 was 133.5 kPa. The elastic modulus of the tendons of the research group was significantly greater than that of the control groups 1 and 2, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The use of computer ultrasound images for diagnosis has high specificity and sensitivity, which is beneficial for improving the accuracy of tendon disease diagnosis and provides valuable insights into the cellular responses during tendon injury and recovery. At the same time, its application in the treatment of tendon diseases is beneficial for improving tendon elasticity, shortening the recovery cycle of tendon elasticity, and shortening the patient’s pain cycle. Overall, computer ultrasound images have a significant role in clinical diagnosis and treatment by providing a window into the cellular world of tendon injuries. Its application in clinical diagnosis and treatment has a good effect.
The Biomechanical influence of physical exercise on mobile phone addiction in college students: Mediating and moderating roles
Authors: Liang Yadong , Tang Yunhao
Published: January 2025

Objective: To explore the relationship and mechanism between college students’ physical exercise and cell phone addiction through the theory of planning behavior, social cognition theory and compensatory network use theory, with an additional consideration of biomechanical aspects. Methods: A total of 900 college students from 4 schools in Guangdong Province were investigated by physical exercise scale, mobile phone addiction index scale, simple coping style scale and simple self-control scale. Conclusion: (1) Physical exercise was negatively associated with mobile phone addiction. (2) Physical exercise has a negative impact on mobile phone addiction through part of the mediation effect of positive coping styles, physical exercise has no significant impact on mobile phone addiction through negative coping styles. (3) Self-control positively regulates the relationship between physical exercise and mobile phone addiction. In other words, college students with higher self-control have stronger negative effects of physical exercise on mobile phone addiction. From a biomechanical perspective, the physical movements during exercise can have an impact on the body's physiological and psychological states. For example, the mechanical stress on muscles and joints during exercise triggers the release of endorphins, which are known to improve mood and reduce stress. This, in turn, may potentially influence the inclination towards mobile phone use. This paper provides a theoretical reference for improving mobile phone addiction by studying the influence mechanism of physical exercise on computer addiction, with the incorporation of biomechanical insights adding a new dimension to understanding this relationship.

Indonesia targets significant economic growth by 2045, mandating equitable development nationwide. This study analyzes the alignment of national, provincial, and city-level development plans and budgets, focusing on identifying policy gaps and fostering harmonization. We used a qualitative methodology to review relevant legislation and government documents and interviewed Bandung City officials and academics. Analysis revealed substantial discrepancies across planning documents – the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN), West Java's Provincial plan (RPJMD Regional), and Bandung City's local plan (RPJMD Local) – particularly in economic, infrastructure, and health sectors. Significant time lags between plan approvals, inconsistent program prioritization, and the influence of political promises on development planning were observed. Budget allocations frequently prioritized bureaucratic processes over direct community impact. Our findings highlight the critical need for enhanced intergovernmental coordination, stronger institutional mechanisms, and more transparent, data-driven decision-making to achieve development objectives. Weaknesses in intergovernmental consultation, institutional arrangements, and the influence of political factors hinder effective policy implementation. We propose institutional reforms and improved intergovernmental collaboration to strengthen integration and optimize budget allocation across all levels of government. This study offers crucial policy recommendations to overcome these challenges and accelerate Indonesia's equitable and sustainable development.

This study aims to analyze crisis communication strategies implemented by organizations in Indonesia through social media, using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. This method was chosen to collect, evaluate, and analyze relevant literature, in order to obtain a comprehensive picture of crisis communication practices in Indonesia in the context of social media. The data collection process was carried out by filtering relevant scientific articles, reports, and studies related to crisis communication and social media, published through various sources such as academic journals, conferences, and industry reports. Each selected article was evaluated based on the criteria of relevance, methodological quality, and its contribution to the understanding of crisis communication in social media. The results of the study indicate that effective crisis communication in social media requires a fast, transparent, and consistent response. Organizations that successfully manage communication through social media have a greater chance of maintaining public trust and reducing the negative impact on their reputation. The speed of response is a key factor, given the very rapid spread of information on social media. In addition, transparency and consistency of messages are essential to prevent public confusion. This study concludes that organizations in Indonesia must design communication strategies that are adaptive to the dynamics of social media, by ensuring clear, accurate, open messages, and monitoring public reactions directly. Thus, effective communication can help organizations manage crises and maintain public trust.

The data collected consists of comments from Instagram users regarding the issue of sextortion. Perempuan Bercerita's Community posted about a sextortion case on Instagram on February 27th, 2023. The content discussed the threats made by the perpetrator, involving sexual relations and the distribution of pornographic videos targeting female victims. The analysis results indicate a total of 54 comments consisting of 9% positive comments, 54% negative comments, and 37% neutral comments.

These rituals have been a central focus of research across various social sciences and humanities, including cultural studies, psychology, religious studies, ethnology, anthropology, and sociology.Traditional rituals specifically related to children form a significant part of Mongolian customs, passed down through centuries. They embody profound symbolic meanings, such as safeguarding children from potential dangers, illnesses, and hardships while bestowing blessings for health and longevity. This article explores the symbolic aspects of rituals associated with children, with a focus on the ritual of purifying, using ethnographic field research to examine the nature of affliction embedded in these symbolic actions.In ritual studies, concepts like “affliction”, introduced by researcher such as V.Gennep, V.Turner, and C.Bell, involve analyzing actions undertaken in response to fear, suffering, conflict, or struggle. This concept helps deepen our understanding of social and cultural transformations, people’s mentality, and the main characteristics of rituals in a given community
