Malaysia’s Neocolonial Struggle: Unraveling the Complexities of Postcolonial Dynamics
Authors: Roknifard J.
Published: August 2023

The article dissects the case of Malaysia in the context of postcolonial studies. After an introduction to the aspects of postcolonial studies that are instrumental in analyzing the case, the article begins by exploring the postcolonial landscape of Malaysia, including the existing discourses, values, and the public sentiments they embody. It then highlights signiﬁcant milestones in the country’s foreign policy and provides a comparative perspective on diﬀerent periods. Finally, it assesses the most recent developments related to the geopolitical power struggle between China and the US in Southeast Asia. The article’s main thesis argues that Malaysia has not fully undergone the process of decolonization. Initially, the ruling political elite preserved some colonial instruments to maintain their own dominance, and later, Malaysia became entangled in the rivalry between the US and China, with both establishing neocolonial dominance over the country in diﬀerent ways. Malaysia’s history since independence has not led to the formation of a cohesive nation, which has exposed it to foreign inﬂuence that exploits gaps in national consciousness and modes of governance.

Authors: Haicl Matouš
Published: August 2023

This paper aims to present brand seduction as a crucial element for success in marketing nowadays. The author endeavors to define brand seduction to be usable in marketing research. The concept of seduction has been conceptualized based on this literature review by qualitative coding techniques. This coding process results in three identified dimensions of seduction (interaction, irrationality, and ireality). Afterward, this concept was empirically tested through qualitative research methods. The key stakeholders experiencing brand seduction were interviewed to verify the suitability of the theoretical concept. The results show the correspondence of the concept of brand seduction with the stakeholder´s experience.

IoT-Based Prepaid Energy Meter Using Nodemcu and Arduino
Authors: Ravisankar Kampara , Mangaraj M. , Satish Majji , Dinesh Kantubhukta , Sivani CH. Harika
Published: August 2023

The conventional energy meter, which we use in our households to measure energy consumption, is an offline device, so it has to be monitored manually. As the country’s population increases, it is becoming most difficult to take the reading of energy meter from each home. As number of houses increases, it may be possible but it take lot of manpower. The customers are unaware of electricity usage, which results in huge bills. Electricity theft is common in some rural areas which results in both operational and economic loss. To avoid these problems, our Prepaid Energy Meter plays a key role. This proposed project makes consumers happy because they can monitor their usage through the internet. In this proposed model, an automated system by NodeMCU and Arduino is implemented. SMS is sent to recharge the meter. Since IoT is being used, it can monitor the status of the energy through the Internet. The recharge can also be done through the Internet. If there is an insufficient balance, then the power supply connection is simply disconnected from the house. The automated alerts are also sent in the form of messages to the end user's mobile phone according to the balance present in the system. With this proposal labor requirements, electricity theft, and billing errors are reduced.

Authors: KARADÖL Hayrettin , KUZU Hamza , KETEN Mualla
Published: August 2023

Today, image processing techniques are frequently used in irrigation, fertilization and spraying applications in order to increase agricultural input efficiency and product quality. In this study, the relationship between the image and weight of soybeans was investigated. For this purpose, some image processing applications were carried out on the images of soybeans grown with the deficit irrigation (100%, 75, 50 and 25) method. In the study, the relationship between the weight of soybeans and the number of pixels occupied on the images was 88.78%. The weights belonging to the displayed soybean grains decreased from 100% watered to 50% watered, in the 25% irrigated area, it increased again. The 25% irrigated case created significant stress for soybeans. However, as in some plants, this situation caused an increase in grain weight in soybeans.
The Links between Political Campaigning and Post-Truth
Authors: Katz Yaron
Published: August 2023

The paper investigates the links between political campaigning and post-truth. The research argues that there are five main factors that make a successful post-truth political campaign. The first is marinating a goal of achieving a practical outcome. The second is the success to control public agenda. The third is providing a different definition of truth. fourth factor is the use of claims based on emotional beliefs. And the fifth is the success to trigger a response from the opposing party. Based on this theoretical approach, the research examines information published in the Israeli election campaign of April 2019 by the leading Likud party and its leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, against their main rivals – Blue and White party and its leader, Benny Gantz - former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff. The issue examined is the post-truth campaign involving the cell phone hacking of Gantz. The examination looks at the campaign according to the main factors that make a successful post-truth political campaign, as described earlier. It aims to examine the way that these factors were implemented by the Likud campaign – and conclude if using these factors was properly done in this post-truth campaign.

Intangible Cultural Heritage as a Resource for a Sámi Mathematics Curriculum
Authors: Fyhn Anne Birgitte , Jannok Nutti Ylva
Published: August 2023

Northern Norway’s population comprises many different cultural groups. According to the Norwegian Education Act, education must give students insight into and a firm foundation in history and culture. This paper aims to present a proposal for how to start working with the creation of local rural mathematics curricula for which Sámi culture in particular, and Northern Norwegian culture in general, is the basis and foundation. It examines three activities that are examples of intangible cultural heritage from different non-urban Northern Norwegian cultures: i) Sámi traditional measuring, ii) fishermen’s traditional navigation at sea and iii) ruvden (a Sámi way of braiding). The activities are analysed with respect to the framework cultural symmetry, which was developed in research in Māori mathematics education. The analysis shows that the three activities are of great significance to local cultural reasoning to such an extent that they should be included in local rural mathematics education. Each of the three activities provides opportunities for developing a culture-based mathematics teaching that values the language and culture in which the activities are embedded. We conclude that cultural symmetry seems to function as a tool for developing a Sámi mathematics curriculum.

Authors: Voitovska V. I. , Zabolotna A. V. , Ketskalo V. V. , Kovtuniuk Z. I.
Published: August 2023

Purpose. To optimize the method of clonal micropropagation of rocket (Eruca sativa Mill.).
Methods. Seeds of rocket cultivars 'Znahar' and 'Lybid' were used for introduction into in vitro culture. Solutions of sodium hypochlorite (35%), ethanol (70%) and HgCl2 (0.2%) were used for sterilization. A 5% solution of chloramine served as a control. Sterile material was planted on liquid and solid agar nutrient media according to Murashige-Skoog (MS) and Hamborg-Eveleg (B5). A solid nutrient medium MS supplemented with 0.5 mg/l BAP was used as a control at all stages of reproduction. 6–benzylaminopurine (BAP), benzylaminopurine (BA), kinetin, IAA, NAA and IBA were added to media for reproduction and rooting. The control was IAA (0.5 mg/l).
Results. Sterilization of seeds with HgCl2 resulted in obtaining 93 and 90% sterile material; however, no viable seeds were found. The highest indicators of material sterility in the studied rocket varieties were noted for the use of sodium hypochlorite solution: in 'Znahar' 93% and 'Lybid' 89%. In addition, viability in this treatment was at the level of 90 and 85%, respectively. Higher indicators of both the number of shoots (8 and 6) and their height (8 and 3 cm) of both studied varieties were obtained on the MS medium (medium B5 – 5 and 5 shoots, and 5 and 4 cm, respectively). The most intensive shoot formation occurred with the use of kinetin. In particular, on the MS medium, variety 'Znahar' formed 19 shoots, 'Lybid' 17 shoots; on B5 – 16 and 13 shoots, respectively. At a concentration of 0.8 mg/l, the length of the shoots of the studied varieties was with IAA 10 and 8 cm, with NAA 15 and 13 cm and with IBA 18 and 16 cm, respectively. The same tendency was observed when the concentration increased to 1.2 mg/l. The number of lateral roots varied from 3 to 7 in the control and from 4 to 11 in the experimental treatments. Most of the roots were formed at an IBA concentration of 1.2 mg/l. In the case of adding 0.8 mg/l of NAA, 7 roots were formed in 'Znahar' and 5 in 'Lybid'; when increasing the concentration to 1.2 mg/l the number was 10 and 9, respectively.
Conclusions. The worst indicators of viable seed material were obtained after sterilization with a HgCl2 solution (93 and 90% of sterile and 0% of viable seeds) and the best with sodium hypochlorite solution (93 and 89% of sterile and 90 and 85% of viable seeds). On the liquid nutrient media according to different prescriptions, the smallest indicators of the height of shoots and their number were obtained. Also, in these treatments, the vitrification of plants, their slow growth and insignificant shoot formation were observed. The longest root system was formed in the studied rocket varieties with adding IBA to the nutrient medium. At the same time, under such conditions, regardless of the IBA concentration, plants formed too long root system that can be injured during planting; therefore, it is more appropriate to use IAA and NAA or their combination.

Os acidentes por animais peçonhentos são considerados um grave problema de saúde pública no mundo pois afetam, mais frequentemente, população de baixa renda. O processo de urbanização instantâneo e o desmatamento das florestas são os principais fatores que favorecem a alta taxa de acidentes com animais peçonhentos. Nesse contexto, buscou-se realizar um levantamento dos acidentes por animais peçonhentos notificados no município de Maceió-AL nos anos 2015-2020. Para isso foi realizado um estudo epidemiológico ecológico, retrospectivo, descritivo com abordagem quantitativa de dados secundários disponibilizados de forma eletrônica pelo Ministério da Saúde por meio do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), no campo Informações de Saúde (TABNET). De acordo com o DATASUS, neste período, Maceió-AL registrou 27.438 casos de acidente dos animais peçonhentos na população geral. Conclui-se que o acelerado processo de urbanização contribuiu de forma exponencial no agravo dos acidentes por animais peçonhentos na cidade de Maceió-AL.

Gender, Ethnicity and Unpaid Domestic Work Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Malaysia
Authors: David Chelliah Hemarubhini , Shian Boo Harn , Karupiah Premalatha
Published: August 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in mandatory work-from-home arrangements and the closure of schools and daycare centres, placing an additional burden on families. Using an online survey carried out during the second Movement Control Order in January 2021, this survey was about who is responsible for housework and childcare work and the subjective time pressure, spare time and satisfaction. Our results indicated that housework and childcare were shouldered by women rather than men during both periods, i.e., before and during the pandemic. In addition, housework and childcare were viewed by many women as either their sole or shared responsibilities with their partners. Contrarily, many men believed that housework and childcare should be shared or fully borne by their spouses. The gender differences in managing domestic responsibilities persist before and during the pandemic. Furthermore, the findings conclude that there is a significant association between gender and unpaid domestic work responsibilities for certain ethnic groups and not all ethnic groups within both periods. Our findings also revealed that during the pandemic, most women reported time pressure and dissatisfaction towards the division of housework and childcare among couples. Overall, reducing women’s burden of unpaid domestic work and improving their well-being is crucial.
Social Abject(ion) and Subjectivity in “Dongeng Penebusan”, A Short Story by Mona Sylviana
Authors: Budhyono Rasus , Priyatna Aquarini , Rahayu Lina Meilinawati
Published: August 2023

“Dongeng Penebusan” is a short story by Mona Sylviana (Mona), an Indonesian woman writer. Conveyed through dual narration, it raises the theme of social abject(ion) that centers around two characters, Samsu, who wants to redeem his past, and his ex-lover Laksmi, whom he left years before. Combining a feminist approach and close reading, we aim to ‘listen’ to voices articulated through the dual narrative technique and the poetic language, which fuses the symbolic and the semiotic. Whereas Samsu is presented as verbally active, Laksmi is depicted as a silent woman who moves in a limited space and motion. Laksmi’s seemingly passive attitude manifests her active subjectivity. In the story, the dual narration regulates voices by weakening Samsu’s voice and amplifying Laksmi’s subjective and authoritative voice. The poetic is employed to depict the unspeakable, atrocious abject situation. The story presents social abjection as an experience that involves specific strategies and degrees of rejection and acceptance. “Dongeng Penebusan” exemplifies how through her agency woman uses non-violence to maintain subjectivity and reject the presence of a male abject while denigrating his subjectivity.

Submissão, silenciamento e invisibilidade: representações da violência simbólica na obra a vida invisível de Eurídice Gusmão de Martha Batalha
Authors: Mendes-Polato Adriana Delmira , Blanco Douglas Fernando , Coqueiro Wilma dos Santos
Published: August 2023

Em perspectiva de pesquisa interdisciplinar, este trabalho busca analisar como a violência simbólica (BOURDIEU, 2019) contra as mulheres é representada no romance A vida invisível de Eurídice Gusmão (2016), da escritora brasileira Martha Batalha. O enredo tem como cenário o Rio de Janeiro da década de 1940, e traz como protagonista Eurídice Gusmão, a mulher que poderia ter sido, uma mulher cuja potencialidade, expressão e projeção social pública foram tolhidas pela opressão masculina na figura do pai e do marido. No romance, por diversas vezes, as personagens femininas são recorrentemente diminuídas e/ou violentadas sob o manto do mito da proteção e do cuidado masculino. Para tal análise, respaldamo-nos, também, nos estudos de historiadoras como Mary Del Priore (2004), para contextualizar a sociedade e a mulher dos anos 1940 no Rio de Janeiro, Michelle Perrot (2019), para refletir acerca do silenciamento das mulheres e Mikhail Bakhtin (2018 [1975]), para compreender as questões relativas ao cronotopo da obra, que constitui índices de identidade, principalmente, aos sujeitos mulheres.
Povo na língua: território e cosmologia em uma poética do traduzir Ayvu Rapyta não enviou
Authors: Ribeiro João Paulo
Published: August 2023

Se o tradutor fugir de tentativas de interpretações ou desconsiderar a primeira vista um leitor, então, ele pode se apoiar nas palavras. Quando dos textos míticos, o que se verifica é uma incoerência na sua linguagem. Essa incoerência é domesticada por uma razão na política da traduzir. A poética do traduzir é aquela pelas palavras, em seu espraiamento (MARTINS, 2022). Nesse sentido a incoerência dos textos míticos é uma poética. Considera-se o se fazendo. Chamaremos aos textos míticos, de narrativas cosmológicas. Tratar de questões de cosmologia na tradução é interessante para aqueles que se embrenham nos estudos de línguas indígenas e em suas traduções para línguas de colonização. O aspecto dessa língua contida no material traduzido é uma língua de novidade, algo como “língua pura” (BENJAMIN, [1923] 2008). Essa “língua pura” é uma língua de poética da relação. Temos o pensamento de Édouard Glissant ([1990] 2011) como base, do qual continuamos com o conceito de Diverso, considerando a poética do traduzir em Henri Meschonnic ([1989] 2006). Nesse sentido, o Diverso para a contínuo, a repetição e diferença na língua, de aspectos que significam antes de tudo. O aspecto do Diverso nessa língua da poética da relação implica um modo de ver. O cosmológico na tradução, assim, pelo participativo, o território, o sujeito do poema, o povo na língua. Nossa teorização está na tradução de Ayvu Rapyta (CADOGAN, 1959), em língua indígena Mbya-Guarani.
Dísticos heroicos e “poemas científicos": questões de forma e conteúdo na tradução literária
Authors: Vasto Laurindo de Masi Gabriel
Published: August 2023

Desde a Antiguidade até a Idade Moderna, as descobertas e avanços científicos têm oferecido material próspero para a imaginação poética. Poetas como Edmundo Spenser (1552-1599), John Donne (1572-1631)0, John Milton (1608-1674) e outros reagiram às tansformações que se operavam na cosmologia e na ontologia europeias durante os sécs. XV, XVI e XVII. Especificamente na Inglaterra, encontramos no séc. XVIII poetas cuja obra poética objetiva sobretudo veicular hipóteses e discussões a respeito de botânica, história natural, eletricidade etc. Entre esses poetas, pode-se destacar Erasmus Darwin, autor do poema The Temple of Nature, publicado postumamente em 1803; nele, Erasmus Darwin arrola hipóteses sobre a origem da vida, a transformação gradual das espécies animal e vegetal e a complexidade estrutural do cérebro humano. Um tal poema impõe interessantes desafios ao tradutor, uma vez que é rico em terminologia especializada, o que dificulta o manejo de  certos elementos formais, tais como a quantidade de sílabas e o metro. Discute-se aqui, então, as estratégias adotadas em nossa tradução de um trecho do Canto I do poema The Temple of Nature. Busca-se mostrar como, adotando soluções e sugestões de tradutores que trabalharam anteriormente com os dísticos heroicos - verso tradicional da poesia inglesa, e empregado por Erasmus Darwin em seu poema – se poderiam incorporar palavras polissilábicas na estrutura métrica, resultando em uma tradução que preservasse tanto os aspectos técnicos e “científicos” quanto as características formais mais significativas dos dísticos heroicos.

The Lyric Voice in English Theology
Authors: Dodd Elizabeth S.
Published: August 2023

Elizabeth S. Dodd explores how the lyric voice in English theology has spoken to, within and between church, self and society. By examining a number of texts by authors such as Lancelot Andrewes, William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, as well as T. S. Elliot and Geoffrey Hill, Dodd concludes that lyric is a vehicle for the imagination; which is the engine of theological thought, but it also has practical, ethical and public implications.

In contemporary discussions of genre in theological aesthetics, as in the work of Charles Taylor, David Ford, Ben Quash, Kevin Vanhoozer and Sam Wells, lyric is the poor relation to narrative and drama. Lyric is the voice of soliloquy, the language of emotion and spiritual experience, and is quickly identified with the solipsism and egoism of the modern individual. However, lyric has been a strong voice within English theology, and not only in a navel-gazing fostering of private spirituality.

Through a comparative analysis of these lyric movements within English theology, this book reassesses the role of lyric in theological language, and suggests that it take its place alongside narrative and drama.
Why Delusions Matter
Authors: Bortolotti Lisa
Published: August 2023

Delusions can be many things. They can be symptoms of mental health problems, such as schizophrenia, clinical delusions, or simply the beliefs that people cling to which are unsupported by evidence. We call the latter everyday delusions and they can include anything from the benefits of homeopathy to the dangers of alien abduction.

Yet, why do people adopt delusional beliefs and why can they be so reluctant to part with them? In Why Delusions Matter, Lisa Bortolotti explains what delusions really are and that despite their negative reputation, that they can also play a positive role in someone's life, such as providing meaning to people’s experiences and strengthening their identities. In a clear and accessible style, she contributes to the growing study of philosophy and the cognitive sciences, providing an intelligent and nuanced view of delusions.

Authors: Keshavarz Alma
Published: August 2023

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has yet to be directly analysed as a military security complex with significant political influence. This book explores Iran’s IRGC and Qods Force, focussing on its development following the Iranian Revolution, and how they have skilfully transformed Iran’s defense doctrine to fight an irregular war that challenges the US and the West.

Chapters detail the birth of the IRGC, its political development and influence within Iran, its relationship to militias and terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, and involvement in Yemen and Iraq. Keshavarz brings first-hand knowledge of what government institutions are looking for with respect to the IRGC, outlining Iran’s hybrid war capabilities that the US and West often misunderstand or miss altogether, in order to provide a foreign policy analysis that identifies the challenges of Iran’s irregular capabilities and what measures are needed to combat it.
Collaboration in Higher Education
Authors: Abegglen Sandra , Burns Tom , Sinfield Sandra
Published: August 2023

Collaboration in Higher Education focuses on the opportunities and challenges created by engaging in collaboration and partnership in higher education. As higher education institutions become ever more competitive to sustain their place in a global, neoliberal education market, students and staff are confronted with alienating practices. Such practices create an individualistic, audit and surveillance culture that is exacerbated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the wholesale ‘pivot’ to online teaching.

In this atomised and competitive climate, this volume synthesises theoretical perspectives and current practice to present case study examples that advocate for a more inclusive, cooperative, collaborative, compassionate and empowering education, one that sees learning and teaching as a practice that enables personal, collective and societal growth. The human element of education is at the core of this book, focusing on what we can do and achieve together: students, academic staff, higher education institutions and relevant stakeholders.

David Bowie and the Art of Music Video
Authors: Perrott Lisa , Vernallis Carol , Mangaoang Áine , Koepnick Lutz , Shaviro Steven , Perrott Lisa , Rogers Holly , Perrott Lisa
Published: August 2023

The first in-depth study of David Bowie’s music videos across a sustained period takes on interweaving storyworlds of an iconic career. Remarkable for their capacity to conjure elaborate imagery, Bowie’s videos provide fascinating exemplars of the artistry and remediation of music video. When their construction is examined across several years, they appear as time-travelling vessels, transporting kooky characters and strange story-world components across time and space.

By charting Bowie’s creative and collaborative process across five distinct phases, David Bowie and the Art of Music Video shows how he played a vital role in establishing music video as an artform. Filling a gap in the existing literature, this book shines a light on the significant contributions of directors such as Mick Rock, Stanley Dorfman and David Mallet, each of whom taught Bowie much about how to use the form. By examining Bowie’s collaborative process, his use of surrealist strategies and his integration of avant-garde art with popular music and media, the book provides a history of music video in relation to the broader fields of audiovisual media, visual music and art.

Internet-ontologies-Things
Authors: Ahn Sungyong
Published: August 2023

Internet-ontologies-Things explores how power mobilizes algorithmic and ontological objects, for example smartwatches and smart buildings, to uncover hidden problems within the physical domains of the IoT.

One popular approach of software studies in recent times is to think of algorithmic objects — like the ‘things’ in what is known as the “Internet of Things” (IoT) — as ontological agents to the same extent as the humans who use them. While post-humanist philosophies, such as speculative realism and object-oriented ontology, have provided a theoretical foundation for this methodological elevation of objects to autonomous and sentient beings, the complicity between this philosophical discourse and the material transformation of our everyday lives, which are embedded with these “smart” objects, remains relatively underexplored.

Within this constantly changing infrastructure, Internet-ontologies-Things: Smart Objects, Hidden Problems, and their Symmetries reveals a new form of economic and political power whose algorithmic governance finds its legitimacy in our newly cultivated paranoia about unknown and perhaps unknowable computational problems. In its examination of our smart world, this book illuminates the mechanisms by which this power mobilizes various algorithmic and ontological objects, from smart wearables to smart buildings, to identify a greater number of hidden problems within the physical domains of the IoT, from city sidewalks to the nerves and organs of our very own bodies.

Robots in Popular Culture
Authors: Hall Richard A.
Published: August 2023

Robots in Popular Culture: Androids and Cyborgs in the American Imagination seeks to provide one go-to reference for the study of the most popular and iconic robots in American popular culture.

In the last 10 years, technology and artificial intelligence (AI) have become not only a daily but a minute-by-minute part of American life—more integrated into our lives than anyone would have believed even a generation before. Americans have long known the adorable and helpful R2-D2 and the terrible possibilities of Skynet and its army of Terminators. Throughout, we have seen machines as valuable allies and horrifying enemies. Today, Americans cling to their mobile phones with the same affection that Luke Skywalker felt for the squat R2-D2. Meanwhile, our phones, personal computers, and cars have attained the ability to know and learn everything about us.

This volume opens with essays about robots in popular culture, followed by 100 A–Z entries on the most famous AIs in film, comics, and more. Sidebars highlight ancillary points of interest, such as authors, creators, and tropes that illuminate the motives of various robots. The volume closes with a glossary of key terms and a bibliography providing students with resources to continue their study of what robots tell us about ourselves.

The Schoolroom
Authors: Gyure Dale Allen
Published: August 2023

School attendance is nearly universal in our society, yet very little is known about the history of the classrooms we occupy and the objects we encounter and use in our educational lives. Why are our school classrooms designed as they are? When was the blackboard invented? When did computers start appearing in schools?

Through analysis of classrooms and objects within them, The Schoolroom: A Social History of Teaching and Learning details the history of American education, describing how architects, in collaboration with educators, have shaped learning spaces in response to curricular and pedagogical changes, population shifts, cultural expectations, and concern for children's health and well-being. It illustrates connections between form and function, showing how a well-designed school building can encourage learning, and reveals little-known histories of ubiquitous educational objects such as blackboards, desks, and computers.
