The power of translanguaging by Papuan non-EFL students during EFL virtual class
Authors: Sahib Rahmawansyah , Yamin Ade , Sileuw Marwan , Zulihi Zulihi
Published: November 2024

The study focuses on addressing a knowledge gap in learning English for non-EFL students in higher education in Papua. Non-EFL students in Papua sometimes find English unattractive, if not frightening. Translanguaging helps non-EFL students to acquire and practice English skills in virtual classrooms. The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of non-EFL students' virtual EFL learning through translanguaging. A qualitative study was conducted through interviews and observations with EFL teachers and non-EFL students attending English classes. There are several non-English departments in one of the higher education institutions in Papua, which are sources of information in this study. The data are then analyzed qualitatively using a discourse analysis framework. The results of the study show that the power of translanguaging for non-EFL students is an option that is always used during virtual English learning. The process of virtual English learning uses different digital learning platforms such as Zoom meetings, WhatsApp groups and Google classroom. The use of this platform has its own privileges as long as it is used in virtual English learning with translanguaging. The process of learning English using different platforms can be described by two activities, such as teacher activities using translanguaging and student activities. Virtual English learning using translanguaging is also illustrated by the use of various language resources owned by students. This is an added value of virtual EFL learning using translanguaging. Therefore, it is highly recommended that EFL teachers use translanguaging during the virtual EFL teaching process to make it easier for non-EFL students to understand EFL subjects.

Authors: Sulistyo Teguh , Dewantara Arie , Widiastuti Oktavia , Marhaban Saiful
Published: November 2024

Despite several studies on feedback, little is known about the benefits of the student-teacher relationship in providing feedback. This study therefore aimed to investigate the effects of teacher feedback on students' writing performance. The feedback was divided into two formats: Direct Feedback and Indirect Feedback. Students' writing performance in the study refers to the quality of students' writing when composing a descriptive paragraph. In addition, this study also explored the voices of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students after being treated with different feedback modes under specific circumstances of the student-teacher relationship. The study adopted a mixed methods design, using a test, a semi-structured interview and a questionnaire as instruments to obtain qualitative and quantitative data. The study involved 50 secondary school students who were divided into two groups of 25 students each. The results showed that direct feedback stimulated students' writing performance better than indirect feedback. In addition, the feedback treatments could maximize students' writing performance if a good student-teacher relationship was developed in the classroom. This implies that maintaining a good student-teacher relationship in the EFL classroom is beneficial.
Factors influencing the completion of extensive reading tasks: A case study of Indonesian students in tertiary EFL class
Authors: Fergina Ana , Oktavianda Melti
Published: November 2024

Extensive Reading (ER) has received considerable attention in foreign language teaching and learning in Indonesia. However, research on student engagement and completion rates of ER assignments in higher education is limited. This qualitative case study investigates the factors that influence the completion of ER assignments among students in a counselling programme at a state university in Kalimantan. Using semi-structured interviews, the study explores students' perspectives and experiences to gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges they face in completing extensive reading assignments. The findings reveal a complex interplay of factors that impede task completion, including lack of intrinsic motivation and interest in reading, vocabulary difficulties, and the learning environment. These findings highlight the critical role of English language teachers in creating a motivating and supportive learning environment, providing targeted vocabulary instruction and fostering a reading culture to maximise the benefits of ER for language acquisition and academic success in higher education.
EFL students' self-efficacy in technology-assisted language learning
Authors: Istikharoh Lutfi , Utami Sri Yuli
Published: November 2024

Technological advancements are currently available in several areas to meet our daily needs. One such development is the use of technology in education, which has seen a significant increase in recent times due to the Covid-19 epidemic. Although students may be familiar with blended learning and technology, it is important for teachers to assess their level of self-efficacy in using technology effectively in education, as this has a direct impact on their ability to learn and improve their academic performance. This study investigated the level of students' self-efficacy and explored strategies to enhance it among Indonesian students who are now enrolled in an English Language Education program after the outbreak. This survey research integrated both quantitative and qualitative data analysis methods. Data was collected through interviews and questionnaires. A total of 60 students participated in this research. The questionnaire resulted in an overall self-efficacy score of 76.6% for all participants. This percentage indicates the high level of self-efficacy of the students. Each year group is classified as high. Interviews with the students served to validate the questionnaire results and further supported these findings. The majority of students use three ways to improve their English as a Foreign Language (EFL) acquisition. They participate autonomously in English language practice by improving computer skills, using online educational media and resources, and intensifying engagement with teachers and peers through communication platforms.
The impact of contextual understanding on neural machine translation accuracy: A case study of Indonesian cultural idioms in English translation
Authors: Dewayanti Desakh Putu Setyalika Putri , Margana Margana
Published: November 2024

The translation of Indonesian idiomatic expressions into English using Neural Machine Translation (NMT) systems presents significant challenges due to the intricate nature of idiomatic language. Idioms are culturally embedded constructs conveying meanings different from their literal interpretations. This study explores the effectiveness of NMT systems in capturing and translating Indonesian idiomatic expressions into English. Using a qualitative approach, 150 diverse Indonesian idioms were evaluated through Google Translate and DeepL. Each idiom was assessed for semantic accuracy, syntactic coherence, and contextual fidelity. Qualitative analysis provided a comprehensive evaluation of translation quality. Findings reveal significant challenges for NMT systems in translating idiomatic expressions. Both Google Translate and DeepL show strengths in some areas, but also have limitations. While they generally capture literal meanings, they often miss metaphorical nuances and cultural connotations. Syntactic errors such as incorrect word order and tense inconsistencies are common, especially in complex idioms. In addition, contextual fidelity analysis shows that NMT systems struggle with contextual appropriateness and pragmatic usage, resulting in translations lacking cultural sensitivity and relevance. These challenges highlight the need for improved algorithms to better interpret and translate idiomatic language across cultural contexts. Accurate idiom translation is crucial for language learners to understand cultural nuances and idiomatic usage. Enhancing the capabilities of NMT systems requires refining algorithms, developing context-aware models, and expanding training datasets with diverse idiomatic expressions. Overcoming these challenges will advance machine translation capabilities and improve cross-cultural communication and language learning experiences.

Authors: Muthalib Kismullah Abdul , Ummah Sari Yatul , Silviyanti Tgk Maya
Published: November 2024

The aim of this study was to analyze the multilingual practices and predominant languages used by an English teacher during classroom activities. It also sought to assess students' reactions to the teacher's language use and to determine the rationale for the teacher's choice of each language in the English language classroom. Six observations were conducted in the three selected classes to assess the use of Indonesian, English, Kluet, Jamee and Acehnese in classroom activities. A total of 48 student respondents from three classes completed the questionnaires, with the English teacher at Junior High School 1 Kluet Timur serving as the sample. The results showed that Indonesian was the most dominant language used in the classroom with a rate of 47.1%, followed by English, Kluet Jamee and Acehnese. The responses to the questionnaire showed that the students believed that using Indonesian and local languages in learning English could help them to understand the material presented by the teacher. In addition, the study showed that the teacher's reason for using Indonesian and local languages was to enhance students’ comprehension of English materials, which ensure effective learning.
In memoriam: Francisco Javier Lopera Restrepo (10 de junio de 1951 – 10 de septiembre de 2024)
Authors: Pineda-Salazar David
Published: November 2024

La vida de Francisco Javier Lopera Restrepo, Pacho, podría ser resumida en la letra de una canción francesa, en los versos de un poeta coterráneo, o en unos pocos aforismos inventados. Aquel frío domingo 10 de junio de 1951, en el corregimiento de Aragón, municipio de Santa Rosa de Osos, hacia el norte de Antioquia, a orillas del primer tramo del cauce del Río Grande, nació Francisco Javier, hijo de Blanca Elena y Luis Emilio. Fue el 4º hijo que alumbró Blanca Elena. Era el mayor de los varones. Los Lopera-Restrepo, una típica familia campesina antioqueña de 13 hermanos. Aragón, tierra helada, con escasos 700 habitantes en esa época. Entre montañas boscosas y los silbos de las mirlas, a más de 2600 metros sobre el nivel del mar, la neblina y el frío eran persistentes. A pesar de las temperaturas tan bajas, no caía nieve, sólo heladas que tapizaban con granizo las huertas y acababan con los cultivos de papa, en la época de clima seco.  De un día para otro llegaba la ruina.

Amarelo-Ouro, 2024
Authors: Bueno Cláudio
Published: November 2024

Em julho de 2019, um assalto no Aeroporto Internacional de Guarulhos resultou no roubo de 720 kg de ouro, com destino aos EUA e Canadá. No mesmo mês, a Terra Indígena Waiãpi foi invadida, levando ao assassinato do cacique Emyra. O governo Bolsonaro, que havia recentemente autorizado o garimpo em terras indígenas, minimizou o ocorrido. Esses incidentes introduzem uma reflexão sobre a contínua e institucionalizada expropriação da vida e da terra no Brasil, reforçando um modelo desenvolvimentista e extrativista, que se mistura hoje com novas infraestruturas tecnológicas, dando sequência à dominação colonial. O artigo dialoga com o trabalho de artistas que criticam esses sistemas, propondo formas outras de reimaginar o território brasileiro.
Smart agriculture as source of sustainability in intensive greenhouse production
Authors: González Hernández Víctor Eduardo , Pérez-Mesa Juan Carlos , de Burgos Jiménez Jerónimo , Galdeano-Gómez Emilio
Published: November 2024

The article addresses the interaction between smart agriculture and sustainability within the specific context of intensive greenhouse agriculture in southeast Spain. Combining a literature review and expert interviews, the methodology is based on a qualitative data analysis, whose main goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon under study. The results identify three key areas of technology that strongly influence this type of agriculture. The first relates to soil, water savings, sensor utilization, and environmental improvement, while the second encompasses robot use, labor reduction, resulting cost improvement, and economic sustainability. Finally, the third group, albeit of lesser importance, links artificial intelligence with ethical issues such as data control, usage, and technological dependence. In summary, the application of smart agriculture is projected to have positive impacts on economic and environmental sustainability, relegating the social dimension to a more distant level. This imbalance suggests that social and ethical aspects could be subordinated to more immediate benefits. The results also suggest that the need for future investments could create polarization in the sector. Not all farmers and businesses can afford these investments, leading to progressive deterioration and even abandonment of agricultural activities in some cases.
synthetic bodies: protocols for intra-acting
Authors: Lenka Vesela
Published: November 2024

Our bodies are porous entities that interconnect with and depend on the broader collectivity of human and nonhuman life that exists within a shared environment. Using the figuration of synthetic bodies, this exposition aims to examine the relationships in which we are enmeshed as our bodies absorb and excrete chemicals. With a focus on involuntary exposure to industrially manufactured chemicals (as opposed to exposure to naturally occurring chemicals or voluntary experimentation with chemicals of all types), this exposition invites readers to learn about the chemicals to which we are exposed and by which we are affected. With the ubiquity of chemicals in the environment, who are we becoming? How do chemicals affect us and how do we interact with them? How can we live well with chemicals in spite of their potential to harm? Adopting a decolonial feminist, posthumanist, and new materialist approach and embracing queer ecological sensibilities, this exposition develops protocols for embodied and materially embedded research practices that trace the effects of exposure to chemicals in everyday life. In so doing, it aims to demonstrate how we might build resilience through encounters with toxicity, contamination, and impurity.

Damnatio memoriae in the Christian Church in the West until the Great Schism (1054)
Authors: Cairovic Ivica
Published: November 2024

Using two examples: the condemnation of Theodore of Mopsuestia, Theodoret of
Cyrus, and Ibas of Edessa at the Fifth Ecumenical Council (553) and the
acceptance of the decisions of that council in Rome - a little later - by
Pope Vigilius; and the condemnation of Pope Formosius (897), by analyzing
the historical circumstances in which the described events take place, the
application of the principle of damnatio memoriae will be investigated, and
a conclusion will be drawn about how the Christian Church in the West
treated controversial figures and their teachings and deeds in the period of
the first millennium of Christ?s era. In this research, special attention
will be directed to the political circumstances that influenced the
decision-making on the implementation of the principle of damnatio memoriae
in the Church, and the consequences of these events.
The grieving process after the death of a close person
Authors: Micanovic-Cvejic Zivka , Simonji-Cernak Ruzenka
Published: November 2024

The death of a loved one is one of the most traumatic psychological
experiences. As a reaction to the trauma due to the death of a loved one, a
series of emotions, bodily sensations, behavior, and thought content is
created. Grief is a universal reaction to death. Grieving is a process,
specific to individuals and differs in duration and characteristics. The
grieving process has stages and tasks, in order for the grieving person to
functionally adapt to the loss. The new International Classification of
Diseases (ICD-11) classifies prolonged grief as a psychiatric disorder,
which significantly correlates with anxiety, depression, somatization,
post-traumatic stress. The aim of this overview (theoretical) paper is to
present the results of empirical research in which significant elements of
the grieving process were studied. These are psychological experiences in
grieving (feelings, bodily sensations, content of thoughts, forms of
behavior), stages of grieving (numbness, longing, disorganization of
behavior, reorganization of life), tasks of grieving (accepting the reality
of loss, processing pain, adapting to the environment, emotional
displacement of the deceased) and the end of grieving. In this paper, we
examined the emotional connection of the grieving person with the deceased
from the perspective of the theory of affective attachment. The paper may
benefit individuals who are in the process of grieving, as well as
professionals in the fields of mental health, counseling and grief therapy.
Restoration of Non-carious Cervical Lesions: A Brief Review for Clinicians
Authors: Brackett WW , Brackett MG , Pacheco RR , Dudish CG , Beatty MW
Published: November 2024

Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) become common in individuals over the age of 40 and are progressive. Those that are wedge-shaped in cross-section likely develop hazardous stress concentrations along their sharp axial extent, which can be distributed to lower, safer levels over a larger area via adhesive restoration. Restoration is indicated once a lesion progresses to a minimum restorable axial depth of at least 1.5 mm at the deepest extent, which threatens the strength of the tooth, especially a single-rooted tooth. Restorations with a glass ionomer or resin composite employing an adhesive system that is total-etch or is a self-etching primer combined with selective enamel etching are equally effective. Consequently, the restorative material can be selected based on isolation or esthetic factors.

Published: November 2024

The present study was conducted during the period from July, 2023 to January, 2024. Two clinical cases of cattle were reported with cutaneous papillomas, one near right umbilical region and another over the right hind teat of cattle. Both the animals were treated with a protocol designed such that it can regulate the secondary bacterial infection, speedy recovery of integument system and enhance the immune response for complete regression of the warts. The innate immune responses of infected animals were augmented with inactivated pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) as autogenous vaccine candidate. The warts were surgically excised, triturated in sterile PBS, inactivated with 0.5% formaline and prepared the autogenous vaccine. The sterility test of vaccine revealed that the vaccine was free from bacterial and fungal contaminants. The chemotherapy includes the use of drugs Thuja ointment, Inj.Enrofloxacin, Inj.Avil and Inj.Anthiomaline. The dose of the vaccine was 1 ml 20 kg-1 b.wt. subcutaneously and given at weekly intervals for a period of 4 weeks. It was observed that the treatment protocol was successfully effective and regression of warts was noticed from 2nd week onwards. By end of 4th week a complete recovery of the wart infected area was noticed with a black scar left behind. The formalin inactivated autogenous vaccine was  effective, and applied for control of bovine papillomavirus infection in cattle with combination of chemotherapeutic drugs resulted in early regression of warts.

MANAGING COMPETITIVENESS AND RISK: THE EFFECT OF SHARIAH COMPLIANCE AND THE CENTRAL ROLE OF REPUTATION AND INVESTMENT EFFICIENCY
Authors: Hasyim Diana , Budiarta Kustoro , Lubis Nurul Wardani , Parulian Edison
Published: November 2024

Business practices, especially in Muslim-majority countries, are more influenced by religious values. Therefore, CSR is less relevant or relatively limited to be implemented as an accountability mechanism, so it is advisable to consider religious values as an alternative approach to business ethics. In this context, adopting Sharia Compliance (SC) is seen as one of the dimensions of accountability, a form of business ethics implementation, and a manifestation or proxy of business ethics other than CSR. Therefore, based on the theory of business ethics, this study develops and tests a trivariate relationship model to explain how reputation and investment efficiency play a role in the relationship between SC and competitiveness and risk as proxied by the cost of equity capital. Using 825 observations, the estimation results indicate a partial mediation effect of reputation in the relationship between SC and risk (cost of equity capital). However, there is no mediation effect in the relationship between SC and competitiveness. Other estimation results indicate a partial mediation effect of investment efficiency in the relationship between SC and the cost of equity capital and competitiveness. This indicates that investment efficiency can provide additional totals in the relationship between SC and the cost of equity capital and competitiveness. However, the mediation effect of investment efficiency in the relationship between SC and SC competitiveness produces a total negative effect. Therefore, it can be said that the mediation of investment efficiency in the relationship between SC and competitiveness is an inconsistent or competitive mediation model. Overall, the partial mediation effect of reputation and investment efficiency indicates (1) there are other mediators (hidden mediators) in the relationship between SC and equity capital costs and competitiveness, (2) SC in reducing equity capital costs and producing competitiveness, among others, by building a good reputation and utilizing positive NPV investment opportunities.
THE IMPACT OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND STRESS MANAGEMENT ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITY MUHAMMADIYAH LAMONGAN
Authors: Wati Dwi Indriana , Suyitno Suyitno
Published: November 2024

This study aims to determine the effect of a healthy lifestyle and stress management on the academic performance of students at Muhammadiyah University of Lamongan, using a quantitative method and purposive sampling technique on 45 respondents. The data was analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 27. The results show that a healthy lifestyle does not have a significant effect on academic performance, while stress management has a significant effect. Simultaneously, a healthy lifestyle and stress management have a significant positive effect on academic performance. Based on these findings, students need to pay more attention to how they manage stress, particularly in coping with academic pressures. Educational institutions, such as UMLA, can provide support by offering stress management training programs, such as psychological counseling, motivational seminars, or workshops on relaxation techniques and mindfulness. In addition, institutions can promote healthy lifestyles by organizing regular sports activities and providing access to health facilities. Academic departments may also consider policies that promote a balance between academic demands and student well-being, such as offering flexible deadlines and personal guidance. Given that this study explains only 15.6% of the variability in academic performance, future research can explore other factors, such as learning motivation, teaching methods, social support, and the use of technology in the learning process.

Redes intelectuales y profesionales en el itinerario de Juan Ricardo Nervi durante sus años de exilio en México - (1976- 1985)
Authors: García Leda
Published: November 2024

En este artículo abordaremos las redes intelectuales y la producción del docente, pedagogo, escritor, poeta, deportista, traductor, periodista y artista plástico pampeano Juan Ricardo Nervi (1921 -2004) en el periodo de su extenso exilio en México, durante los años de la dictadura cívico-militar argentina (1976 -1983). En 1976, ante las concretas amenazas del grupo parapolicial Alianza Anticomunista Argentina - más conocida como “Triple A”- el profesor Nervi debió, como muchos argentinos, optar por el exilio para salvar la vida. Pudo hacerlo gracias al compromiso solidario de sus redes amigas, a sus relaciones internacionales y a la generosidad del pueblo y gobierno mexicanos. En su país de acogida desarrolló una prolífica tarea docente, participó de la creación y organización de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional Mexicana, cultivó su faceta literaria, escribió y publicó ensayos pedagógicos que fueron referentes para los estudios de esa disciplina, así como poesías y cuentos que vieron la luz tanto en Argentina como en México. También realizó una interesante producción periodística. Exploramos también en el artículo cómo sostuvo sus vínculos con sus colegas y amigos/as en Argentina, sus intercambios epistolares y las visitas que recibió.

Disengagement or degrowth? An analytical framework to address the
socioecological transition from urban studies. Critical note
Authors: Barona Garduño Fernando
Published: November 2024

La eficiencia energética es una medida que indica cuánta energía se obtiene de una fuente en comparación con la energía que se invierte para obtenerla. El petróleo ha disminuido su eficiencia energética debido a la dificultad de extraerlo. Las energías renovables tienen una eficiencia energética aún más baja. Se necesita un retorno energético de al menos 7:1 para que una sociedad funcione adecuadamente. Los estudios urbanos buscan entender las ciudades desde una perspectiva crítica. La desvinculación y el decrecimiento son marcos analíticos para abordar la transición socioecológica que pueden quedar entrampadas en la paradoja de Jevons.

Nocturnal artistic intervention with El Clan de la Noche in Tlaltenco, Tláhuac, Mexico City
Authors: Trejo Poo Alejandra
Published: November 2024

Dentro de las prácticas cotidianas en la ciudad durante la noche, existe una sensación de extrañeza con la oscuridad nocturna. Por ello, este texto presenta una propuesta para habitar y reconocer la noche y su oscuridad de manera alternativa y novedosa a través de la intervención artística, el trabajo colaborativo y la conformación de un grupo denominado El Clan de la Noche. Este caso específico se desarrolla en Tlaltenco, Tláhuac, una zona periférica del sureste de la Ciudad de México, donde su noche se diferencia de otros sitios hegemónicos de la urbe a partir de contar con otro tipo de luminarias y en algunos casos en menor cantidad de éstas, así como espacios solitarios o de reserva natural que permiten encontrarse con lugares oscuros.
The production of the Latin American city during neoliberalism
Authors: Monterrubio Redonda Jasmin Anavel
Published: November 2024

El tema de la producción del espacio urbano en ciudades latinoamericanas tiene un lugar principal en el desarrollo de investigación sobre este continente, sin embargo, de manera frecuente, la orientación epistemológica se fundamenta en teorías y conceptos que, de forma acrítica y sin sustento analítico, a menudo no corresponden a nuestras realidades y más bien, se trata de teorizaciones impuestas (que muchas veces aceptamos voluntariamente) provenientes del discurso hegemónico, que constituyen una base poco consistente para interpretar nuestro presente y sus contradicciones y para formular alternativas viables para atender las necesidades apremiantes de los sectores sociales mayoritarios de nuestras concentraciones humanas.
From national park to cultural park an Algerian experience
Authors: Betrouni Mourad
Published: November 2024

The status of National park was adopted in Algeria in 1921, during French colonisation, within the framework of the forestry law in force. It was renewed as is, after 1962 by independent Algeria and placed under the supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture, in its general forestry directorate. In 1983, it was redefined in the first national law on the environment, then, from 2011, in that of protected areas, within the framework of sustainable development. All Algerian national parks are created under the forestry regime and agricultural administration, with the exception of a single case where they are attached to the cultural sector: that of Tassili and Ahaggar, both located in the extreme south of the Sahara, including the Tuareg customary domain of Kel Ajjer and Kel Ahaggar. A particular case, linked to the process of administrative construction of the Saharan space. It is following the adoption of  paradigm of sustainable development and a new law on the protection of cultural heritage , that this particularism has disappeared, with the introduction of a new legal category of protection, called “parc culturel”, based on the principle of “indissociability” between culture and nature, an innovative notion which has not yet acquired the conceptual force necessary to achieve the required stabilization and social appropriation, hence the difficulty of its translation into operational tools.

Cassava’s adaptability to different agroecological conditions, high yield, as well as its ability to thrive under harsh climatic conditions, makes it an essential food security crop. In South Africa, the cassava value chain is currently uncoordinated and underdeveloped, with a couple of smallholder farmers growing the crop for household consumption and as a source of income. Other farmers regard it as a secondary crop and hardly any producers grow it for industrial purposes. Hence, this study sought to analyze the determinants of household participation in the cassava value chain in South Africa. The study employed the multivariate probit model to analyze the determinants of household participation in the cassava value chain in South Africa, using a primary dataset collected through a simple sample method from smallholder farmers in KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, and Limpopo provinces. Results show that livestock ownership has a positive and significant effect on the likelihood of farmers participating in the value chain by growing cassava for household food consumption. Also, findings reveal that hiring labour in cassava production and an increase in the yield during the previous season increases the probability of farmers’ interest in selling cassava tubers along the value chain. Hence, the positive and statistically significant influence of hiring labour during cassava production in driving the farmers’ interest in selling cassava tubers and cuttings implies that the development of the cassava value chain presents great opportunities for creating jobs (employment) in the country. Also, policy interventions that ensure land tenure security and empower farmers to increase their cassava yields are bound to encourage further participation in the value chain with an interest in selling fresh tubers, among other derived products to generate income. Lastly, programmes that empower and encourage youth participation in the cassava value chain can increase the number of farmers interested in selling cassava products.
The impact of quality certificates on sustainable food production: An analysis of selected systems in Poland
Authors: Brukało Katarzyna , Dolipska Anna , Romaniuk Piotr
Published: November 2024

This study evaluates the influence of quality certificates on sustainable food production in Poland, considering economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Analyzing 25 different certificates, the research explores their criteria, procedures, and costs across various food product categories, including meat, fish, and plant-based products. The study provides a detailed review of certification processes, from initiation to audits and inspections. It identifies both commonalities and differences among certificates, each addressing unique aspects such as environmental impact, worker rights, and product origins. Despite the diversity in standards and procedures, the study underscores the need for standardized international criteria to improve transparency and meet consumer expectations, highlighting the significant role of quality certificates in advancing sustainable food production.
Advances and challenges of Artificial Intelligence in the university context: An empirical study
Authors: Bartolome Muñoz de Luna Angel , Martin Gomez Sonia
Published: November 2024

This study aims to predict whether university students will make efficient use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the coming years, using a statistical analysis that predicts the outcome of a binary dependent variable (in this case, the efficient use of AI). Several independent variables, such as digital skills management or the use of Chat GPT, are considered.The results obtained allow us to know that inefficient use is linked to the lack of digital skills or age, among other factors, whereas Social Sciences students have the least probability of using Chat GPT efficiently, and the youngest students are the ones who make the worst use of AI.
Beyond the ballot: Factors shaping political participation among university students in Bangkok

Published: November 2024

This study explores the determinants of political participation among Thai youth, focusing on the roles of political interest, knowledge, and efficacy. Employing stratified random sampling, data were collected from 191 university students in Bangkok. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via Smart PLS was utilized to test hypotheses regarding the direct and mediating effects of political interest and knowledge on participation, highlighting the mediating role of political efficacy. The findings indicate that political efficacy significantly enhances participation, while political interest boosts knowledge significantly but does not directly influence efficacy. Furthermore, political knowledge positively affects efficacy but not participation directly. Notably, the indirect effects of political interest on participation through efficacy alone are insignificant, but the pathways from interest to participation through both knowledge and efficacy, and from knowledge to participation through efficacy, are significant. These results elucidate the complex interactions between political interest, knowledge, and efficacy in shaping the political engagement of Thai youth.
Mechanisms for activating social empowerment of deaf people of determination in Kuwait: A study from the perspective of the deaf in the Kuwait club for the deaf
Authors: Almutairi Nourah Saud Fwizan
Published: November 2024

Encouraging the social empowerment of persons with disabilities—also known as “people of determination” is a crucial step toward advancing equality and inclusion in our communities. Consequently, the current study aimed to identify the mechanisms for activating social empowerment for people of determination from the deaf category. Identify the most prominent mechanisms and proposals from the point of view of the deaf. The study used a social survey approach based on a questionnaire on a sample of (30) deaf males in the Kuwaiti Sports Club for the Deaf, and it is the full sample size. The study reached several results, the most important of which are: integrating deaf people with disabilities into jobs integrated into society, raising the level of cultural awareness of sign language, in addition to spreading awareness of how to deal with deaf people. The study presented some recommendations and proposals, including media focus on the deaf group, and working to hold conferences and workshops targeting the community to spread awareness about the deaf group.
