Authors: Hanania Hanna , Al-Jamal Sameer , Jaradat Nasser
Published: January 2025

The study aimed to explore the relationship between modern leadership styles and the preparation of middle management leaders in municipalities within Bethlehem Governorate. A questionnaire was employed as the primary data collection tool, adopting a descriptive-analytical methodology. A stratified random sample comprising 136 employees from Bethlehem municipalities was utilized. The study's findings revealed that the practice of leadership styles in municipalities was of a moderate degree, with the most frequently practiced modern leadership styles being digital leadership, situational leadership, agile leadership, participatory leadership, innovative leadership, transformational leadership, and flexible leadership. The results also indicated that Bethlehem municipalities prepare middle management leaders at a moderate level. Furthermore, a positive correlation was identified between all modern leadership styles (transformational, situational, participatory, flexible, digital, agile, and innovative) and the preparation of middle management leaders. The study concluded with several recommendations, most notably urging leadership in Bethlehem municipalities to focus more on modern leadership styles due to their vital role in preparing emerging and alternative leaders. It also recommended developing leadership skills through targeted training programs and encouraging leaders to provide employees with opportunities to express their opinions and participate in policy-making. The originality of this study lies in its exploration of the relationship between modern leadership styles and the preparation of middle management leaders in the context of municipalities in Bethlehem Governorate, a subject that has been underrepresented in prior research.
What layer are we on?
Authors: van Leeuwen Theo
Published: January 2025

Spiritual caregivers provide support with regard to meaning and worldviews. One of their professional competences is hermeneutical: the ability to connect current life experiences with sources of meaning and traditions. We refer to the conversations on meaning and tradition as hermeneutic communication.

Our question is how hermeneutic communication takes place in a society with a plurality of worldviews and a multitude of sources and traditions. How does that context affect the worldview identity of the spiritual caregivers? And what shape does hermeneutic communication take on in terms of process and content?

The study begins with an exploratory inquiry among lecturers at theological institutions and then turns to conceptual inquiries in the fields of philosophy, psychology, and theology. On that basis a multiple embedded case study is undertaken into the practice of seven Protestant Christian chaplains working in general hospitals. Use is made of recorded conversations between chaplains and their conversation partners, reflections by the chaplains on those conversations, and their views on their profession and on hermeneutic communication.

This study offers spiritual caregivers and pastors concrete guidance for effectively and helpfully engaging in conversation with individuals from diverse worldview backgrounds about their existential and worldview situations. The results provide training programmes with enlightening perspectives to better equip future pastors and spiritual caregivers in conversational skills.
Establishing the Connection between Valency and Passive Voice in the English Simple Sentence Constructions
Authors: Famakinwa Yemisi , Alfred Bukola
Published: January 2025

A sentence is generally construed as a unit which is made up of one or more clauses. Hence, the English simple sentence, made up of a subject and a predicate, contains just a clause which makes a complete thought and expresses a single proposition. Against this backdrop, this study examines the connection between valency and passive voice in the English simple sentence constructions. It further analyses samples of the English simple sentences both from the literature and introspection. As emanations from the English simple sentences, the English passive voice may be devoid of the ‘by-agentive’ phrase. The point just made does not rule out the presence of a predicate in such expressions. Noticeably, both the active and passive voice are connected to the English simple sentences. Employing the approach of Corpus Linguistics to sentence analyses, samples of the English simple sentences gathered from introspection and related literature are considered for analysis. The study re-affirms that there is a connection between valency and passive voice in the English simple sentence constructions. The study further discovers that the presence of referring expressions in both the active and passive voice sentence constructions indicates the number of valency in such constructions. The paper concludes by recommending that valency and passive voice in English grammar be painstakingly taught to both native and non-native learners of English since the former can be used to explain the latter and vice-versa.

Pemberantasan Femisida di Meksiko: Kebijakan Kriminal yang Tertunda dan Dampak Sosialnya
Authors: Zul Khaidir Kadir
Published: January 2025

Femisida merupakan kejahatan yang menyerang perempuan sebagai korbannya. Di Meksiko, jumlah perempuan yang dibunuh karena gender mereka meningkat secara konsisten selama dekade terakhir. Sayangnya, banyak kasus tidak dilaporkan, salah diklasifikasikan, atau tidak diinvestigasi yang menciptakan hambatan besar dalam memberikan keadilan bagi korban. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan konseptual. Metode pengumpulan data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan studi kepustakaan, lalu dianalisis menggunakan metode kualitatif dan disajikan secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa femisida di Meksiko merupakan cerminan dari kegagalan sistemik yang berakar pada ketimpangan gender, lemahnya institusi penegak hukum, dan budaya impunitas yang mengakar dalam masyarakat. Meskipun upaya legislasi telah dilakukan dengan mengakui femisida sebagai kejahatan pidana khusus, implementasinya masih jauh dari memadai. Reformasi kebijakan di Meksiko harus berfokus pada harmonisasi hukum di seluruh wilayah, peningkatan kapasitas institusional, penguatan mekanisme pengawasan independen untuk menjamin transparansi dan akuntabilitas. Selain itu langkah preventif diperlukan agar dapat menciptakan sistem peradilan pidana yang lebih adil serta masyarakat yang setara dan bebas dari kekerasan berbasis gender.

Low-carbon dispatch optimization of wind-solar-thermal-storage multi-energy system based on stochastic chance constraints and carbon trading mechanism
Authors: Liu Hong , Su Yongwei , Cai Kaijing , Mo Yingkang
Published: January 2025

To improve the low-carbon economic performance of renewable energy-dominated power systems, a multi-energy coordinated optimization dispatch model for wind, solar, thermal, and storage systems considering uncertainties on both the supply and demand sides is proposed. This paper comprehensively considers the economic costs of thermal power unit operation, wind and solar power curtailment, energy storage operation, carbon trading and spinning reserve. The model incorporates a penalizing carbon trading mechanism and uses a stochastic chance-constrained approach to handle fluctuations in wind and solar power generation as well as uncertainties in load forecasting. The study, based on the IEEE 30-bus system, is solved using a stochastic simulation particle swarm optimization algorithm. Results show that after introducing the carbon trading mechanism, the system's carbon emissions were reduced by 8.35%, wind and solar curtailment penalties were reduced by 65.48%, and overall costs decreased by 14.94%. Additionally, the chance-constrained model effectively reduced the system's reserve capacity requirements, with reserve capacity decreasing by 31.84%, leading to a further reduction of 26.83% in overall costs. In the scenario of combined wind-solar-thermal-storage output, the wind and solar curtailment rate dropped to 7.37%, and carbon emissions decreased to 6474.69 tons. Through the "energy shifting" function, the energy storage system provided effective support during peak loads, further optimizing the dispatch outcomes.

Authors: Mufanechiya Albert , Makgalwa Matseliso Mokhele
Published: January 2025

Teachers are critical pillars of any education system. If teachers work in unstable economic environments, their responsibility and accountability to ensure that learners learn are compromised and reduced.  This paper aimed at synthesising existing literature on how much has been studied on teachers’ coping strategies in the hyper-inflationary context in Zimbabwe.  The documents used in the study were purposefully sampled from Google Scholar and Freefullpdf as other data bases were unable to provide results on the Zimbabwean context. The review found that teachers suffered substantial  financial and material losses, experienced stress and have not put in their best in the education of learners. The study concluded that the hyper-inflationary dynamics remains the stumbling block to optimising teaching and learning with severe output implications for both teachers and learners. We recommend that an empirical study be conducted on the lived experiences of learners on the effects of hyper-inflation in Zimbabwean schools.

Cognitive and Neurolinguistic Aspects of Advertising Discourse Perception
Authors: Egamberdieva Farida , Egamberdieva Shakhzoda
Published: January 2025

This study examines how cognitive and neurolinguistic mechanisms influence consumer behavior and decision-making in advertising. It explores the roles of attentional salience, memory encoding, and emotional responses in shaping how advertisements affect audiences. Attention is critical, driven by visual stimuli (e.g., colors, motion) and top-down processes based on personal goals and cultural relevance. Memory encoding is supported through repetition, rhyme, and the integration of verbal and visual cues, while emotional triggers engage the amygdala, enhancing retention. Neurolinguistic techniques, such as semantic priming, create subconscious associations between words, images, and brand values, accelerating comprehension and promoting positive perceptions. For example, luxury brands use semantic cues to suggest exclusivity, while metaphors activate sensory and cognitive areas, strengthening engagement. Additionally, advertising content is processed through hemispheric lateralization, with the left hemisphere focusing on linguistic aspects and the right hemisphere processing visuals and emotions. This study underscores the significance of incorporating these cognitive and neurolinguistic principles into advertising. Examples include Coca-Cola’s use of visual icons for universal attention, Nike’s use of memorable slogans for retention, and Dove’s emotional appeals for loyalty. Also, culturally tailored approaches, such as aligning metaphors with societal norms, enhance relevance across diverse audiences. The research suggests using neuroimaging tools, like fMRI and EEG, to identify neural correlates of engagement. It emphasizes the potential of machine learning and neuromarketing in customizing advertisements based on individual neural responses. Integrating these principles can help create emotionally and cognitively impactful campaigns.

Authors: Ikromjon Rakhmonov , Rayhona Temirova
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the development of an efficient method for establishing virtual reality (VR) educational laboratories, focusing on enhancing teaching outcomes in technical fields exemplified through English classes. The integration of VR in technical education has been proven to improve learning efficiency, with studies showing a learning rate increase of 75-90% and a knowledge acquisition speed of up to four times faster. Despite these benefits, prolonged VR exposure can result in discomforts such as dizziness, eye strain, and cognitive fatigue. This study proposes a Fibonacci-based approach to structure VR learning sessions to address these challenges. By organizing session intervals according to the Fibonacci sequence and incorporating structured breaks, this method supports optimal cognitive processing, minimizes physical discomfort, and allows for smoother transitions between the virtual and real environments. A practical experiment involving 24 students was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach. The results revealed statistically significant improvements in learning outcomes and adaptation compared to traditional continuous VR sessions, with a p-value of less than 0.05. These findings suggest that the Fibonacci-based method offers a promising solution to the challenges associated with extended VR exposure in educational settings, enabling more effective and comfortable learning experiences. This approach holds potential for broader application in various technical fields, where VR serves as a tool for enhancing educational outcomes.

Published: January 2025

Gender Mainstreaming (PUG) is a government strategy to ensure that men and women gain access, participation, control, and fair benefits in development, including in the political field. Although the Gender Mainstreaming (PUG) policy has long been echoed in West Sumatra, the Gender Development Index (IPG) in the political sector in West Sumatra Province is still below the provincial and national averages. This study will describe how the implementation of Gender Mainstreaming (PUG) policies in development, especially in the political field in West Sumatra Province, uses four variables of public policy effectiveness from Edward III's theory, namely Communication, Resources, Disposition or Attitude of Executors, and Bureaucracy. The results of the study show that the implementation of Gender Mainstreaming (PUG) policies in the political field in West Sumatra Province has not been full as planned. This is due to the lack of socialization and coordination between implementers as well as the economic and social environment that has not supported the implementation of Gender Mainstreaming in West Sumatra Province and the inadequate availability of human and financial resources. On the one hand, the participation and cooperation of regional apparatus organizations of the West Sumatra Province have been good in designing and responding to Gender Mainstreaming policies.

Sengketa pertanahan di Provinsi Banten mencapai lebih dari 500 kasus per tahun, terutama di wilayah pedesaan. Kurangnya pemahaman masyarakat tentang hukum perdata pertanahan menjadi akar masalah utama. Program Kreativitas Mahasiswa (PKM) ini bertujuan memperkuat pemahaman hukum perdata pertanahan di desa-desa Banten dan mengembangkan mekanisme pencegahan serta penyelesaian sengketa tanah yang efektif. Pelaksanaan program meliputi: (1) Survei dan pemetaan pemahaman hukum serta jenis sengketa, (2) Edukasi hukum melalui seminar dan workshop, (3) Pelatihan mediasi untuk tokoh masyarakat dan aparat desa, dan (4) Pembentukan Pusat Konsultasi Pertanahan Desa. Program akan dilaksanakan di tiga desa di Kabupaten Serang dengan tingkat sengketa tanah tinggi: Cikolelet, Sindangsari, dan Tegalsari. Melalui pendekatan komprehensif ini, diharapkan terjadi peningkatan literasi hukum pertanahan, pengurangan potensi konflik, dan tersedianya mekanisme penyelesaian sengketa berbasis komunitas. Hasil program akan berkontribusi pada pengembangan model edukasi hukum dan penyelesaian sengketa yang dapat diadaptasi di daerah lain, serta mendukung upaya pemerintah dalam meningkatkan tata kelola pertanahan di tingkat desa.
Historiographie et Décolonisation de l'Histoire du Congo

Résumé

La question de l'historiographie du Congo se focalise sur la nécessité de la décolonisation de l'histoire du Congo. L'influence des narrations coloniales à longtemps dominé et déformé la perception de l'histoire congolaise. Les récits, souvent produits par des historiens européens, ont systématiquement marginalisé ou effacé les perspectives locales, réduisant les réalités complexes de la société congolaise à une simple opposition entre colonisateurs et colonisés. En occultant les dynamiques précoloniales, les résistances locales et les contributions des peuples congolais, ces narrations ont consolidé une vision eurocentrique qui a servi à légitimer la domination coloniale et à perpétuer des stéréotypes déshumanisants.
L'article propose des approches concrètes pour réécrire l'histoire de la RDC, en mettant en valeur les perspectives locales et en adoptant une approche décoloniale. Cela implique une réévaluation critique des sources historiques, une réhabilitation des récits oraux et traditionnels, et une reconnaissance des contributions des historiens congolais, souvent marginalisés dans les discours académiques dominants. Il plaide pour une redéfinition des paradigmes historiques, nécessaire pour déconstruire les mythes coloniaux et construire une historiographie qui reflète plus fidèlement la diversité et la complexité de la réalité historique.
En soulignant l'importance de cette démarche, l'article montre que décoloniser l'histoire dans le cadre de la RDC n'est pas seulement une question académique, mais un enjeu politique et culturel dans la mesure où, la réécriture de l'histoire est essentielle pour rétablir une représentation plus juste et équilibrée du passé, et pour permettre au peuple congolais de se réapproprier son histoire, en tant que fondement d'une identité nationale affirmée et d'une mémoire collective libératrice.

This paper presents an approach that utilizes waste heat from the exhaust of Biomass Cookstoves (BCS), which is dominantly used for food grilling in tropical Asian countries, Thailand's fish grilling stoves were used as a case study. The study involves designing and comparing computationally the exergy quantities from four types of spiral heat exchangers— (H01, H02, H03, and H04) - using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) within a flow rate range of 0.5-2.5 l/min with heat transfer oil as the working fluid. Subsequently, the economic feasibility was analyzed using the Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) methods, and the carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere were evaluated across four helical coil configurations, C01, C02, C03, and C04. The results from the CFD analysis under specified conditions demonstrate that the helical heat exchanger can reclaim up to 2900W of exergy from BCS exhaust, which is transferred to water used by coffee machines for commercial use. This system can reduce electricity consumption for water heating by 38.48%, equating to a cost savings of 22,311.81 THB (621.50 USD) per year, with a maximum NPV of 20,195.49 THB (562.55 USD). The investment in upgrading BCS can be recouped within 4.6 years. On the environmental conservation front, using waste heat from BCS exhaust can also reduce carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere by up to 3,606.04 kg CO2e per year per stove. The findings from this analysis can help restaurant operators make informed decisions on investing in BCS improvements and aligning business operations with environmental conservation efforts.
