Published: February 2025

Mathematics is an important science that shapes the future as it did in the past. The mathematical knowledge, which helps explain other sciences, needs to be transferred and adopted to the next generation with this awareness. However, nowadays, mathematics is increasingly presented as a subject that should be avoided and is famous for its failures. The feeling of insensitivity towards mathematics brought about by mathematical anxiety and fear is now one of the important issues that needs to be solved on its own. For this purpose, in addition to increasing students' interest and sensitivity towards mathematics, teachers and parents must support this motivation in a necessary and sufficient way. In this study, it is discussed what the insensitivity and anxiety that develops towards mathematics are and under what conditions they are triggered. In addition, solution suggestions for eliminating mathematical insensitivity were presented in line with the opinions of students, teachers and parents, with whom semi-structured interviews were conducted in accordance with the purpose and scope of the study. The data of the study was analyzed by content analysis and the results were added to the solution suggestions headings in the study.

Authors: Deng Leipengyun , Mohd Radzi Mohd Amran , Shafie Suhaidi Bin , Hassan Mohd Khair
Published: February 2025

Fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEVs), integrating fuel cell (FC) with batteries, have attracted significant research attention due to their emission-free operation, enhanced efficiency, and quick refuelling capabilities. Efficient energy management strategies (EMSs) are crucial in allocating energy between these sources and controlling power flow from FCs and batteries. The power following control (PFC) strategy has emerged as one of the most extensively utilized approaches in automotive applications owing to its superior real-time performance, ease of calculation, and straightforward design. This paper proposes a PFC-optimized strategy focused on improving FC durability and fuel economy by optimizing the switching control to fill the gap in frequent toggling of FC caused by traditional PFC strategy. The outcomes derived from the co-simulation conducted with AVL CRUISE and MATLAB/Simulink for developing complete FCHEV model and EMS model, respectively, indicate that under the China Light-duty Vehicle Test Cycle for Passenger Car (CLTC-P), the PFC-optimized strategy, in comparison to the traditional PFC strategy, reduces battery state of charge (SOC) fluctuations by 68.93% and decreases hydrogen consumption per 100 km by 2.71%. Meanwhile, this strategy is also proven effective in other operating conditions and reduces fuel cell switching times during operation. Therefore, the PFC-optimized strategy suggested in this study contributes to better performance in battery SOC, battery life, FC durability and fuel economy.

SOLVING THE PARADOX: THE SOCIAL SEMANTICS OF CHILDREN’S RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINATION
Authors: Farini Federico
Published: February 2025

Centred on a critical examination of the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC, 1989), this article proposes an approach to children’s right of self-determination as social semantics, to illuminate the dynamic and paradoxical coupling within discourses on childhood between a fundamental social process, the reproduction of generational order and a fundamental social institution, human rights as codified in European modernity. The article presents the result of a three-stages study, articulated in: a systematic review of literature around the theme of children’s right of self-determination; a discussion of children’s right of self-determination as social semantics; the use of Early Childhood Education as a significant case-study to observe the development of children’s self-determination as a tenet of the mainstream semantics of childhood in society. It is argued that the semantics of children’s right of self-determination: 1) describes a paradoxical coexistence between intergenerational order and human rights; 2) is capable of maintain its viability as a cultural form because it is coupled with another semantic distinction, between human rights and personal rights. It is hoped that the scholarly debate will benefit from the contribution of an article exploring the intersection between social ontology of childhood and children’s right of self-determination.

Authors: Imran Hassan
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of AI personalized learning on student motivation and academic performance. As educational institutions increasingly incorporate AI, understanding its effectiveness in fostering engagement and academic success has become crucial. The study employed a quasi experimental, pretest-posttest control group design with a sample of n=200 students, comparing an AI personalized learning group to a traditional learning group form Universities of Pakistan. Descriptive statistics, paired samples t-tests and ANCOVA were used to analyze motivation and academic performance scores. Results indicated significant improvements in both motivation and academic performance in the AI group, with particularly notable gains among older students and female participants. These findings suggest that AI personalized learning can enhance educational results by adapting content to individual needs, promoting engagement and supporting diverse student populations. However, the study's quasi experimental design, short follow-up period and reliance on self-reported motivation data represent limitations. Future research should examine the long-term impact of AI personalized learning and explore how different demographic groups benefit from such interventions.
Legal Capacity of Children and Adolescents: The Realization of Rights
Authors: Ruiz Diana Patricia Restrepo , Monroy Rodrigo Pérez , Avilés Hillary Patricia Herrera
Published: February 2025

The recognition of children and adolescents (hereinafter NNA, by its Spanish acronym) as full rights-holders under the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) marked a turning point in the history of childhood and adolescence regarding the protection of their rights. Even so, this declaration did not give rise to legal mechanisms allowing this population group to assert these rights on their own, creating a normative contradiction. The CRC itself provided State Parties with a principle that can help overcome this obstacle: progressive autonomy, which aims to counteract institutions rooted in classical Roman law—still unfortunately in force in most legal systems—such as the legal incapacity to act. Through legal hermeneutics, applying the methodology derived from legality analysis and coherence analysis, this study demonstrates how to transcend the limitations on NNA's legal capacity imposed by the Civil Code, and how to incorporate progressive autonomy while correcting oversights observed in countries that have implemented it for several years. It also rethinks the material criterion for standing (legitimacy in the cause) to include minors, and proposes ways to engage the educational system in shaping legally aware individuals who understand not only their rights and duties but also their active role in defending and protecting those rights.

Published: February 2025

Foundations are organizations that are part of the Third Sector while playing an important social role, acting as amplifiers of assistance for the benefit of minority groups, as well as first-line aid organizations in times of crisis. This paper seeks to identify the aspects that influence the organizational viability of foundations in Spain using qualitative research techniques by which key informants in the sector were interviewed through the use of semi-structured questionaries. Responses were analyzed in a matrix structure, obtaining the keywords in order to summarize the information and concepts provided. Then, this content was analyzed using ATLAS.ti software, obtaining a “word cloud”, which served as an inspiration to propose a conceptual model. This model, as its main result, seeks to reveal the aspects and particularities of foundations in Spain, taking into account internal and external characteristics, their immediate environment, and the regulations and norms. Finally, the challenges to be faced by the sector are presented, encouraging support entities such as universities, research centers, and second-order organizations, together with the Public Administration, to take action in those gaps that must be avoided.

This study examines the effects of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors, brand purpose, and brand equity on High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) purchase intentions for financial products, focusing on three age groups: 25–40, 41–60 and 61+ years old. Data were collected quantitatively from 876 Thai HNWIs by using a structured survey and asked those in the survey to do structured answering using regression analysis. It is found that predictors have different impact on aquaculture development, depending on age groups. Brand equity and brand purpose were key drivers for purchase intention for the 25–40 age group. Environmental responsibility, brand equity, and brand purpose had a great impact on the 41–60 age group. For the 61 and above age group, brand purpose was the only significant predictor of brand evaluation, and governance was marginally significant. These findings suggest that targeted marketing strategies are necessary to maximize these individual demographic segment's priorities. The research shows the rising significance of ESG principles and brand factors in the formation of financial decisions of HNWIs and provides key insights for financial institutions to improve interaction with ethically conscious investors.

Military personnel's physical fitness is essential for carrying out their duties. The physical fitness test (TAF) aims to assess the troop's level of physical fitness. Military personnel are called up to take the TAF only when they are included in the promotions access list or when called up for mandatory courses. The objective of this article is to provide a tool for encouraging, controlling and promoting routine training, which will support TAF preparation. The use of fitness app technologies has gained popularity after the pandemic and remote monitoring through online consultancy is a global trend. To this end, the methodology used was bibliographical, descriptive and documentary research, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, through the analysisof the TAF results of the Military Police of the State of Alagoas for the year 2023, added to the prospecting of the effectiveness of the use of the applications. As a partial result, it was found that in the abdominal flexion and front support tests on the ground, the soldiers showed positive performance, however, in the shuttle run, a small variation was noted, and in the run, a significant part of military personnel did not even reach the minimum index, that is, they obtained a score lower than 5. Therefore, it is expected that the use of a mobile application that provides established training options, performance tables, in addition to training frequency monitoring, tends to encourage military police officers in physical fitness tests.Key-words: Alagoas Military Police; Physical training; Physical Fitness Test; Mobile Application.

This study is motivated by the fact that the methodology of hadith research encompasses two primary approaches, namely pure and applied hadith studies, which play a significant role in the development of hadith studies. This research aims to analyze the definitions, objectives, procedures, similarities, differences, and examples of application of pure and applied hadith research methodologies. This study employs a normative approach and descriptive-analytical method. Data were collected using document studies from primary sources, such as hadith compilations, and secondary sources, such as hadith methodology literature. The data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques. The results of this study indicate that pure hadith research focuses on the authenticity of the sanad and matan, whereas applied hadith research emphasizes its relevance and application in contemporary life. The findings of this research imply the necessity of integrating both approaches to preserve the authenticity of hadith while ensuring its relevance to the needs of the Muslim community.

Purpose – The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of auditor independence, professionalism, professional skepticism, audit tenure, and auditor competence on audit quality in Indonesia. This study is intended to provide documentation for factors that improve the reliability audits and credibility of financial reporting.Design/methodology/approach –  A quantitative method was used with the primary data in the form of structured questionnaires to auditors of Public Accounting Firms in Surabaya and other cities in Indonesia. Data were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) to confirm hypotheses and evaluate the relationships found among the variables. Tests of reliability and validity were performed to ensure accuracy of measurement.Findings – This study found that auditor independence, professionalism, professional skepticism, and auditor competence positively and significantly affected audit quality, suggesting that ethical and technical excellence is essential to good audit practices. Conversely, audit tenure has a negative impact on audit quality, which supports the idea that tenure may impair the objectivity of auditors in an extended audit engagement. These results are consistent with regulatory arguments calling for rotation of audit firms and/or partners to bolster professional skepticism and independence.Originality/value – This study fills a gap in the existing literature by providing empirical evidence about the determinants affecting audit quality in the Indonesian setting. The outcomes support policymakers, regulatory agencies, and auditing professionals in reinforcing governance frameworks and audit standards. The study emphasizes the significant role that auditor expertise and ethical behavior plays in upholding the integrity of financial reporting.Research Implications – This study highlights the importance of continuing professional education, and taking action to ensure regulatory compliance, ultimately improving audit quality
