Authors: Batchar Rendel , Abad Glenda , Tigas Blessilda Grace , Farro Rosemarie , Corintin Mark Anthony
Published: January 2025

Global environmental crises pose significant challenges to achieving sustainable development, making it imperative to integrate environmental awareness into education at all levels. Early childhood, particularly the kindergarten stage, is a crucial period for cultivating environmental consciousness and instilling lifelong sustainable values. Despite its importance, research on early childhood environmental education (ECEE) in the Philippines remains limited, leaving a gap in understanding how young learners perceive and engage with their environment. This study sought to address this gap by exploring the environmental consciousness of 39 kindergarten pupils at a laboratory school in Central Luzon, Philippines. Using the draw-and-tell technique, combined with semiotic analysis, it examined both the visual and verbal expressions of these young learners. Pupils' drawings featured natural elements (flowers, trees, clouds, and the sun), representations of biodiversity (birds and animals), and the built environment (houses). Imaginative features, such as balloons and rainbows, showcased their creative interpretations of the environment. Oral narratives complemented the drawings, offering deeper insights into their perspectives on environmental issues. The findings underscore the potential of ECEE to nurture environmentally responsible behavior from an early age and inform the creation of green instructional resources, including storybooks designed specifically for kindergarten learners.

Authors: Dong Tingting , Sun Changlong ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: January 2025

The study compares the changes in the theory of Marxism that took place in Europe (in the form of neo-Marxism and its movements, in particular the Frankfurt School) and the Sinicized version of Marxism. The study also examines how Sinicized Marxism was reflected in the political discourse and political philosophy of modern China (People’s Republic of China) and is reflected in social policy in the country. Studying the influence of socio-economic changes and the history of the people on ideological changes allows us to identify several principles of Sinicized Marxism, which on an ongoing basis determine social policy and foreign relations. This is, first, etatism and the dominance of state interests over private ones, which limits human rights and national self-determination, but preserves the integrity and stability of the state, which protects the interests of the people.
When Color Is Dark: A Semiotic Study on Chromatology
Authors: Vavilova Zhanna , Broadbent John ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: January 2025

As far as visual semiotics is concerned, color is an element of the image representing a fact of reality. However, as the mechanisms by which colors are perceived vary widely between and even within species, to say nothing of machines, this may cause misunderstanding in communication. This interdisciplinary research aims at conveying a comprehensive picture of the mechanisms that operate behind color perception and interpretation, based on data of biosemiotics and robosemiotics, i.e. taking into account different perspectives on conveying meaning between living systems, as well as machines. The paper also seeks to raise awareness of the differing conventions of the meaning of colors in human cultures. Findings from all these fields are combined and compared to make a plausible judgement about color as an instrument of deception; the authors analyze situations where interpretations of color can lead to deception either through error or as a consequence of deliberate action.

The progress of a nation is supported by complete human resources with three important elements; healthy, intelligent and of good character. However, the dream of advancing the nation will only become a dream when phenomena that show bad character increasingly emerge in this country, and the most worrying thing is that students are involved in it. In this position, educational failure is an area that is often the subject of discussion, and especially religious education is increasingly becoming the main focus. In the midst of the hegemony of discussions about materials, models and environmental creation in contemporary conditions, this article aims to retrace the concept of PAI as a whole, including its meaning, objectives, foundations and functions, so that various PAI activities, especially in schools, do not deviate from its sermons. . Literature review was chosen as a method for examining the writings of figures, book and journal authors, as well as regulatory documents related to education and PAI. The results of the study show that there are three words that are often discussed by figures when exploring the concept of education in Islam, namely tarbiyah, ta'dib, and ta'lim. These three words are the basis for exploring the concept of PAI as a whole in Indonesia. PAI has colored the education process in Indonesia, with Islamic teachings as the content taught. By paying attention to its basis and function, PAI in schools must be taught by professional PAI teachers with the aim of educating, guiding and directing students to become Islamic individuals (insan kamil; faithful, obedient and moral) within the framework of students as individuals, family members, members of society, citizens and citizens of the world. This point also emphasizes that PAI's goal is not to make students become experts in Islamic religion. This article can provide insight, especially to teachers or PAI study program students, in understanding PAI as a whole, especially its relation to schooling.

The corruption case in Indonesia, specifically the BTS project scandal by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics, reflects serious challenges in public financial management. According to information from Transparency International, Indonesia still ranks as a country with a high level of corruption. The BTS project, aimed at improving internet access in remote areas, has been revealed to suffer from budget misuse and corrupt practices by high ranking officials. To address this issue, forensic audits and digital evidence have become crucial tools in uncovering crimes. However, challenges such as a lack of trained human resources, limited technological infrastructure, and inter-agency coordination hinder the effectiveness of law enforcement. Integrated efforts to enhance the capacity of law enforcement and technological infrastructure are needed to effectively combat corruption and create a clean and transparent government.
