Exploring Teachers’ and Students’ Perspectives About Code-Switching as an Instructional Strategy in Business Communication Classes
Authors: Ali Mirjat Mashooque , John Stephen
Published: January 2025

English is recognized as a global communication medium in business, technology, and education. In Pakistan, both Urdu (L1) and English (L2) are used as mediums of instruction, with English predominantly used in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Students from diverse linguistic backgrounds are enrolled in HEIs' business communication courses, where they often encounter challenges in learning. Though code-switching is increasingly utilized as an instructional strategy in English as a Second Language (ESL) contexts, its use as a pedagogical tool in business communication courses in HEIs has yet to be fully recognized. This study aims to explore the perspectives of faculty members and students about code[1]switching as an instructional strategy in business communication courses. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a structured questionnaire to collect data from faculty (n = 14) and students (n = 271) at a private-sector university in Karachi. Data analysis was conducted through SPSS. The study reveals that faculty and students hold positive views on using code-switching in business communication courses. However, the study indicates substantial differences in perspectives and varying degrees of agreement or disagreement. Students overwhelmingly support using first language (L1) in the classroom, with 75.6% advocating for it, compared to only 57.2% of faculty. This disparity highlights a potential gap in understanding the benefits that students associate with L1 usage. The study suggests that incorporating code-switching as an instructional strategy can contribute to an inclusive classroom environment, enhancing communication and learning in diverse linguistic settings.
AI-Driven Vocabulary Development in ESL Context: Advancing Autonomous Learning Through Technology
Authors: Farhan Ali Lubna , Siraj Javeria , Farhan Ali Mahnoor
Published: January 2025

For ESL learners, the vocabulary learning process becomes a laboriously daunting one due to insufficient social and educational input. According to Schneider et al. (2002), the process of second language learning, specifically the vocabulary of the target language, requires the “ability to produce, differentiate, connect, and be bidirectional” (p. 419). In this situation, technology seems to be the ultimate savior. Technology is changing the pedagogical possibilities at a phenomenal rate, and the effects of this change have reached beyond the classrooms. With the advent of Artificial intelligence i.e. AI, technology has become more powerful, accessible, portable and adaptable providing learners with tools to make their learning personalized and accelerated. A shift has also occurred in the pedagogical perspectives and practices as well, bringing learners to the forefront instead of teachers. In such a scenario, TALL (Technology Assisted Language Learning) is expected to play a significant role in the teaching and learning of a second or a foreign language. Keeping in perspective Beatty’s (2010) assertion about finding ways to create “a better fit between good pedagogy and technology” (p. 206), this paper explores the potential of technology-assisted, autonomous, and self-regulated learning approaches and practices for lexical enrichment in ESL contexts. It investigates how AI-driven tools and applications can bridge the gap between theoretical and pedagogical frameworks and practical implementation, enhancing vocabulary acquisition and learner autonomy beyond the traditional classroom environment.

Published: January 2025

This study brings a novel examination of the complicated relationships among agronomical and physiological characteristics and grain yield in winter wheat, improving our awareness of how to optimize nitrogen management for sustainable crop production. The outcomes underlined that different characteristics such as leaf area index (LAI), nitrogen uptake (NUpE), photosynthetic rate (Pn), and harvest index play a significant contribution in determining grain yield. Robust positive correlations were observed between grain yield and total nitrogen content (R² = 0.92), leaf dry biomass (R² = 0.90), and photosynthetic parameters (R² = 0.94), emphasizing the critical impact of physiological efficiency in yield improvement. Outstandingly, while nitrogen application significantly enhanced chlorophyll content, carotenoids, and grain yield, excessive nitrogen input negatively impacted nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), highlighting the requirement for precision nitrogen management. This study also exhibits that better partitioning of biomass and efficient nitrogen allocation to grains (N harvest index) are significant drivers of yield strength and improvement. These outcomes advance in relating physiological characteristics through agronomical operations, offering wheat breeders and agronomists valuable approaches for boosting yield potential while reducing environmental impact. This research covers how to increase nitrogen-efficient and high-yielding wheat genotypes, which are important for resolving worldwide food safety problems and sustainable agriculture.

HADIS-HADIS KUCING DALAM PANDANGAN MULA ALI AL-QARI
Authors: Musaffa Arini Silma , Hidayati Hidayati
Published: January 2025

This study aims to find out the views of Mula Ali Al-Qari on the traditions about cats that are popular in the community. This research uses library research which in its development uses a textual-analytical approach. The primary source of this research is a short treatise by Mula Ali Al-Qari entitled "Al-Birrah Fii Hubb Al-Hirrah". As a hadith expert, Mula Ali Al-Qari is certainly not careless in writing hadith and Qur'anic verses. It is found that the hadith is a maudhu'at hadith and is contained in one of Al-Qari's works entitled Maudhu'at. Although it turns out that the Hadith's wording "loving cats is part of faith" is false, in his treatise, Al-Qari tries to find the status in the meaning of the false Hadith. The slander against the Prophet that he kept a cat named Moeza should not be used as a proof by cat lovers because it is a lie in the name of the Prophet. Although keeping cats is allowed in Islam, the perpetrators of the activity must fulfill several conditions in its implementation so as not to cause significant problems. The link between loving cats and faith only applies to personal. If someone does not love cats, it does not mean that the faith in his heart is defective.

This paper analyses the modes of household waste disposal according to the standard of living of heads of households in Cameroon. The data for this study were obtained from the Fourth Cameroon Household Survey (ECAM 4) with a sample of 10303 heads of households. In order to achieve this objective, the simple logistic model was used. The econometric analysis reveals that as the standard of living of the head of household increases, the probability of choosing a garbage bin or waiting for collection trucks or collection agents at the source increases, and as the standard of living of the head of household increases, the probability of disposing of liquid household waste in a yard or in the wilderness decreases; in fact, the probability of being educated increases when the standard of living increases, and also the probability of a head of household living in decent housing increases when the standard of living increases.

The examination of the present shows the need and the urgency to imagine nowadays the conditions and the devices to be put in place on our territories to establish the ""economy of life"" on complete productive processes."

The digital era has brought about major changes in the business world, creating challenges and opportunities that affect various aspects of a company's operations. The main challenges include the need to integrate modern technology with business ethics for the sake of the company's desires. This study discusses the role of accounting theory and business ethics in supporting business transformation in the digital era through a literature study. The results show that flexible accounting theory can help companies manage transactions, increase transparency, and reduce risks in the digital environment. On the other hand, business ethics plays a role in building trust, maintaining reputation, and protecting consumers and personal data. By integrating technology, ethical principles, and accounting theory, companies can create competitive and sustainable business strategies in the global market. This combination allows companies to face digital challenges while still prioritizing ethical values and desires.

La UNESCO promueve la educación para la ciudadanía global, destacando la interconexión entre la formación ciudadana y el desarrollo de individuos. Actualmente surge la necesidad de transformar la sociedad desde la democracia, participación activa y multiculturalidad desde la educación. El objetivo de esta investigación es profundizar en la necesidad de una formación ciudadana responsable desde el rescate de los valores morales y éticos en la sociedad. Esta investigación se sustenta en paradigma positivista, de tipo descriptivo y documental, en la cual se aplica el método PRISMA 2020. Se cribaron un total de 39 artículos tomando en cuenta como buscadores académicos Google Académico, Dialnet y Redalyc en tres categorías a) valores morales; b) valores éticos; y c) formación ciudadana responsable, desarrollados en países de habla hispana. Como resultados se obtuvo que la formación ciudadana responsable se relaciona con el rescate de valores tanto morales como éticos que a su vez promueven los derechos humanos y las normas de convivencia para la construcción de ciudadanos responsables e integrales. Se considera esencial, que en la educación superior se implementen cambios curriculares que fortalezcan la participación crítica y la convivencia adaptados a las diversas realidades sociales y para las futuras generaciones.

La inteligencia artificial (IA) se ha configurado como la tecnología referente de la nueva era. Una herramienta de disrupción con un alcance transversal capaz tanto de generar nuevos sectores como de transformar profundamente los tradicionales. Por eso, una gran cantidad de países han lanzado estrategias para afrontar con garantías los cambios que se avecinan. Pero más allá de estas promesas, la realidad es que no todos los países tienen el mismo compromiso con la innovación. En este artículo, a partir de trece indicadores muy específicos relacionados con la IA, se mide la apuesta de dieciséis países por esta tecnología y se sintetiza mediante un índice que mide el grado de especialización en IA. Con ello hemos podido comprobar cómo Asia está tomando el mando, mientras que Europa está rezagada, y en especial una economía como España, que empieza a quedar muy relegada.
Economía conductual de la pandemia Covid-19

Published: January 2025

Estudiamos la pandemia de Covid-19 desde el punto de vista de la economía del comportamiento, que aúna economía y psicología. Analizamos los sesgos (por ejemplo, exceso de optimismo) que pueden haber tenido un mayor impacto en la toma de decisiones referentes a la pandemia, así como posibles políticas de salud pública desde el enfoque de la economía del comportamiento. Contrastamos el uso de «nudges» (medidas no coercitivas y que no usan incentivos económicos) con medidas legislativas, y abogamos por un enfoque integral que utilice las mejores intervenciones disponibles en conjunto, para generar hábitos de conducta saludables (que reduzcan la transmisión del virus). Por último, aplicamos este enfoque a la promoción de la vacunación.
