The Interweaved and Imbedded Impact of the Rukun Tetangga Community Relations Programme on Malaysian Nationhood as Governed by the Rukun Negara National Ideology.
Authors: Naidu Dr. Suranthiran Naidu A/L M.N.
Published: August 2023

The Malaysian ‘Rukun’ national programmes saw the light of day in the aftermath of the tragic May 1969 inter-communal conflicts. Following the introduction of the national ideology Rukun Negara in 1971, the Rukun Tetangga Scheme (RTS) was introduced in 1975 to enable the local communities throughout the nation to harmoniously help enhance residential social security. The objectives of this research study are to attempt to understand the extent the nation’s national ideology, the Rukun Negara, is being imbued in the enforcement and practices of the Rukun Tetangga national community security enhancement programme. The research methodology used was mainly the qualitative approach, with an extent of data derived using the quantitative methododology. Official data from government documentary sources, in-depth interviews with relevant department officials, and observations in the course of the research study over six months were employed. The major findings of this study show that there is [invariably] still a considerable concern for community security. The youth also tended to be in different towards the goals of the RTS (Rukun Tetangga Scheme). and felt that the activities needed to be made to be ‘felt’ by them and all residents. This, they felt, can help bring all residents to come together and build communal bridges and solidarity more meaningfully.

Authors: Ma Isaac Gbadeh Jolokleh, , Wawire Chrispus K. , Kariuki David G.
Published: August 2023

School disengagement is a challenging educational issue in Liberia, despite its wide-ranging social effects. There has been minimal research on psychological factors that may affect students’ academic performance, and these variables have primarily been blamed for this school disengagement. Parental involvement in child’s education and school disengagement in Liberia were examined in this study. Palkovitz’s parental involvement theory guided the research. Correlational research was used. Targeted population were 636 fifth graders and 636 parents. Proportionate sampling picked five public schools, while simple random sample selected 246 fifth graders and 242 parents. A parental involvement instrument was modified for data collection. The researcher used standard scale questionnaires with 14 items for students and 17 for parents. Research instruments were tested in a pilot study. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were utilised in SPSS version 25 to evaluate and characterise the data. Results were displayed in frequency tables. The data demonstrated a positive but non-significant association between parental involvement in child’s education and school disengagement (r =.27, p > 0.05). School administrators should urge parents to monitor and participate in their children’s education, according to the report. School administrators and legislators could use the findings to enhance academic attainment efforts.

Introduction
Authors: Barnhouse Lucy C.
Published: August 2023

The introduction situates this monograph in relation to the historiography, identifies the archival documents on which it relies, and lays out its argument. I aim to show how legal status was debated and utilized by hospital communities, ecclesiastical and civic authorities, and, not least, the laity who were the donors and neighbors, and sometimes the administrators, of urban and periurban hospitals. Hospitals’ entitlement to the legal privileges of religious status, and their subjection to ecclesiastical jurisdiction, were tendentious questions. This fueled the needs of hospitals to assert and defend their legal rights, but also enabled negotiation of their institutional identity. This book argues that the canon law governing hospitals served as an engine of their late medieval development.
Language Learning and Teaching in Missionary and Colonial Contexts
Authors: Savatovsky Dan , Albano Mariangela , Pham Thi Kieu Ly , Spaëth Valérie
Published: August 2023

This volume assembles texts dedicated to the linguistic and educational aspects of missionary and colonial enterprises, taking into account all continents and with an extended diachronic perspective (15th–20th centuries). Strictly speaking, this “linguistics” is contemporary to the colonial era, so it is primarily the work of missionaries of Catholic orders and Protestant societies. It can also belong to a retrospective outlook, following decolonization. In the first category, one mostly finds transcription, translation, and grammatization practices (typically, the production of dictionaries and grammar books). In the second category, one finds in addition descriptions of language use, of situations of diglossia, and of contact between languages. Within this framework, the volume focuses on educational and linguistic policies, language teaching and learning, and the didactics that were associated with them.
How to create a language by describing it? Orientalists and pure colloquial Arabic
Authors: Abouelgamal Tarek
Published: August 2023

Diglossia is the framework commonly used to describe Arabic and a framework that Western universities follow to teach Arabic, despite major debates surrounding it. Native speakers of Arabic recognize the existence of two separate varieties, but they do not separate them when they effectively use the language, while the Western separation has resulted in a pedagogical product whose purpose is to help non-natives to acquire the pure dialectal language. This essay examines two colloquial Arabic textbooks: De Alcalá’s Arte (1505) and Jomier’s Manuel d’arabe égyptien (1965). The purpose is to contextualize these books (both written by members of Christian religious orders) in an attempt to understand their premises. The main finding of this research is that the grammatization process of this artificial language was built upon missionary ideology, a transcription system, and pedagogical materials like textbooks and dictionaries.

Published: August 2023

Background: Lipids are responsible for both the undesirable and desirable ﬂavors of food; oxidation of lipids mainly results in the development of off-ﬂavor and lipoxygenase-derived lipid-based volatiles that are responsible for ﬂavor generation. These lipids can be found in animal, vegetable and marine foods sources. Among these vegetable lipids sources, peanuts are one of the main oleaginous used to prepare foods. Aims: This study aimed at assessing the effect of 0.5g, 1g, 2g and 4g of Allium cepa and Pimpinella anisum powders on the oxidative stability of lipids extracted from peanuts cakes. Material and Methods: The total phenolic content, flavonoid contents and the antioxidant properties of these spices were evaluated. In addition, lipids quality was assessed by chemical characterization of oils extracted from peanuts cakes. Results: Results revealed that P. anisum had the highest total phenolic (TPC = 61.66 mg GAE/g), flavonoid (FC = 34.95 mg CE/g) contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activities with values that ranged from 17.66 % to 89.18 %. The analysis of the oxidative state of oils extracted from peanuts cakes prepared with 0.5g, 1g, 2g and 4g of Allium cepa and Pimpinella anisum powders revealed that all oils samples with the exception of those extracted from cakes cooked with 2g and 4g of P. anisum powder had peroxide, P-anisidine, total oxidation, thiobarbituric acid and free fatty acid values in line with those recommended by the Codex Alimentarius. The principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the free fatty acids, peroxide, P-anisidine, thiobarbituric acid values were more efficient to induce lipids oxidation in peanuts cakes. Conclusions: Preparing peanuts cakes with Allium cepa and Pimpinella anisum powders are more effective to limit lipids oxidation compared to peanuts cakes cooked without spices.
Keywords: Allium cepa, Pimpinella anisum, lipids quality, peanuts cakes, antioxidant, oxidative stability.
Coastal ocean response during the unprecedented marine heat waves in the western Mediterranean in 2022
Authors: Juza Mélanie , de Alfonso Marta , Fernández-Mora Ángels
Published: August 2023

Abstract. The western Mediterranean Sea suffered unprecedented marines heat waves (MHWs) in 2022. This study focuses on the response of coastal ocean, which is highly vulnerable to global warming and extreme events that threaten the biodiversity, as well as goods and services that humans rely on. Using remote sensing and in situ observations, strong spatio-temporal variations of MHWs characteristics are observed in the coastal ocean over the last decade 2013–2022. In 2022, shallow-water moorings in the western Mediterranean Sea detected between 23 and 131 days of MHWs. While the highest MHW mean and maximum intensities were detected at surface in the French waters, the highest duration was observed near-shore at 17 m depth in the Balearic Islands. As thermal stress indicators for marine ecosystems, the cumulative intensity and total days were found the highest at surface at Tarragona, and MHW temperatures warmer than 28 °C were observed up to 58 days at Palma. Differences between satellite products and moorings observations, as well as between daily and hourly in situ measurements are also highlighted inviting us to continue the efforts in deploying and maintaining multi-platform observing systems in both open and coastal ocean waters to better address the coastal adaptation and mitigation in the context of climate change.

Mapping the Student Experience: A Framework for Assessing Student Support, Success, Community and Voice
Authors: Lowe Tom , Wright Sophie
Published: August 2023

A challenge persists in modern higher education regarding gaining an understanding of the activities and services that facilitate student support, student success, student community and student voice. As modern universities continue to grow in both size and complexity, gaining an understanding of the operations for enhancing and supporting both students’ experiences and outcomes grows in importance for resource allocation and supporting student success for university administrators. These exploratory or audit-based activities attempt to gain an understanding of students' engagement, time pressure and, relatedly, their calendar journeys throughout their higher education, with an aim to create coherence as opposed to chaos in students’ journeys. This case study shares a tested practice from a UK higher education institution of a method to map the so-called ‘student experience’ across a whole university. This framework for mapping student engagement activities takes an asset-based approach beginning with the core activities which lead a student to graduation prioritising activities by time of students’ engagement. This framework is inclusive of the core student experience and the optional, complementary extracurricular activities (Student Community), supporting services (Student Support), and enhancement activities engaging students in the development of education (Student Voice) to gain oversight of complex institutions. This case study offers a transferable framework for use in institutions globally with potential to be implemented as a management tool for administrator and faculty member understanding of the student experience with a view to make enhancements to support student success resourcing and interventions.

In this paper, an optimal actuator placement problem, with a linear wave equation as the constraint, is considered. In particular, this work presents the framework for finding the best location of actuators depending upon the given initial conditions, and where the dependence on the initial conditions is averaged out. The problem is motivated by the need to control vibrations induced by pedestrian-bridge interactions. An approach based on the shape optimization techniques is used to solve the problem. Specifically, the shape sensitivities involving a cost functional are determined using the averaged adjoint approach. A numerical algorithm based on these sensitivities is used as a solution strategy. Numerical tests illustrate the theoretical results.

O projeto “É preciso falar sobre as ausentes: mulheres cronistas na imprensa oitocentista: Pesquisa em acervos” (UCL, Unesp, Unicamp) visa localizar, de forma sistemática, a colaboração das escritoras Maria Amália Vaz de Carvalho (1847-1921), Maria Benedita Câmara Bormann (pseudônimo Délia, 1853-1895), Emília Moncorvo Bandeira de Melo (pseudônimo Carmen Dolores, 1852–1910) e Júlia Lopes de Almeida (1862-1934) na imprensa do Rio de Janeiro no período da chamada Belle Époque. A pesquisa parte do acervo digital de periódicos disponíveis na Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira, da Fundação Biblioteca Nacional, e, além de ter em vista a organização de edições digitais de livre acesso, pretende reavaliar a presença feminina na imprensa de fins do Oitocentos, de modo a contribuir para dar visibilidade e construir novas narrativas acerca das vozes femininas, em grande parte, ainda silenciadas. O artigo detém-se na trajetória de Maria Amália até sua entrada em O Paiz, apresenta a publicação na qual a escritora contribui por cinco anos, ainda que não de maneira continua, e em cujas páginas esteve presente quase uma centena de vezes. Objetiva-se apresentar os traços gerais desse volumoso conjunto de textos de gêneros diversos – crônicas, contos, ensaios e resenhas de livros – e indicar algumas de suas múltiplas possibilidades analíticas. Destaque-se que se trata de um primeiro ensaio, uma vez que a pesquisa encontra-se em seus primórdios.
Mary Shelley e a Sibila de Cumas
Authors: Soares Janile
Published: August 2023

Resumo

No ano de 1826 a escritora inglesa Mary Shelley publica o romance apocalíptico The Last Man, contando a história de como a humanidade fora dissipada por uma peste em 2100, restando apenas um sobrevivente que, imune à pandemia, resolve deixar registrado em forma de diário, a história do fim do mundo como ele o conhecia. Ao apresentar o relato que levou à escritura da narrativa, Mary Shelley nos coloca em contato com o mito da Sibila de Cumas, revelando ter encontrado o manuscrito que indicava os fatos que ela narrou em seu romance. Este artigo visa discutir a importância do texto introdutório do romance, considerando as molduras estabelecidas entre o mito da Sibila e as capacidades criadoras de Shelley.
Nélida Piñon: na ladeira íngreme da crítica, um sobe e desce de opiniões
Authors: Moreira Maria Eunice
Published: August 2023

Autora de uma bibliografia extensa, Nélida Piñon é ainda uma escritora ainda pouco estudada e pouco citada nos estudos literários brasileiros, oscilando entre períodos de maior fulgor e outros de menor brilho. A crítica movimenta-se em um sobe e desce de opiniões; as histórias da literatura brasileira, publicadas a partir da década de 1960, praticamente desconhecem seu nome. Este texto analisa os principais comentários críticos e procura levantar hipóteses para o silenciamento sobre a obra de Nélida Piñon
Divórcio? : Andradina de Oliveira e a voz transgressora na virada do século XIX- XX
Authors: Gautério Rosa
Published: August 2023

O trabalho busca apresentar o romance tese Divórcio? escrito pela gaúcha Andradina de Oliveira que trouxe o tema ainda em 1912. A narrativa traz ao centro do debate valores doutrináros-moralistas que envolvem casamentos mal-sucedidos na sociedade brasileira impostos para preservar a posição das famílias da elite. Destacamos as perdas afetivas, a discriminação e a opressão no contexto do patriarcado que faculta à mulher a regeneração de Eva pecadora como imagem Redentora no constitutivo da sociedade de então. A importância do resgate da obra se dá pela relevância da luta por direitos que estão em pauta na sociedade atual onde ressurgem discursos de retorno a padrões mais tradicionais.
Understanding Cybercrime Offending and Victimization Patterns from a Global Perspective
Authors:   George Mason University, Lee Jin
Published: August 2023

Cybercrime research within criminology and criminal justice sciences has increased over the past few decades, improving the knowledge and evidence-base around cybercrime offending and victimization generally. While earlier cybercrime studies were based primarily in the United States, there has been a recent surge in studies using international samples and multidisciplinary approaches to understand cybercrime patterns. The current issue of the International Journal of Cybersecurity Intelligence and Cybercrime consists of four articles that seek to advance our understanding of cybercrime behaviors from a global perspective. To that end, the objective of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the articles included in this issue. The overview will comprise a summary report of each study’s objectives, main findings, and implications. Exploring cybercrime from an international perspective underscores both the global nature of the phenomena and the need to form deeper insights into its unique properties.

Studies on cybercrime and cybersecurity have expanded in both scope and breadth in recent years. This study offers a bibliometric review of research trends in cybercrime and cybersecurity over the past 26 years (1995-2021) based on Web of Science core collection database. Specifically, we examine the growth of scholarship and the expanded scope of subject categories and relevant journals. We also analyze the research collaboration network based on authors’ affiliated institutions and countries. Finally, we identify major topics within the fields, how each topic relates to – and diverges from – one another, and their evolution over time. Overall, we illustrate the scientific landscape of cybercrime and cybersecurity scholarship by quantitatively synthesizing major components of existing literature. This study offers actionable insights to help researchers identify key research resources, establish/expand collaboration networks, and investigate emerging research topics in this increasingly important domain in criminology and criminal justice.
