Acquiring English Vocabulary from Mobile Phone Use
Authors: Afiyattena Nurul , Apriani Reni
Published: January 2025

The formerly studies regarding the effectiveness of teaching using a mobile phone on students’ vocabulary mastery are widely discussed.  While the process of how students acquire that vocabulary from a mobile phone is barely touched. That’s why the purpose of this study is to investigate the process of students acquiring English vocabulary from mobile phone use and whether the students comprehend the meaning of the vocabulary that they acquire or not. The design of this study employed study case design. The subject of this study was 7 students at a fourth-grade elementary school. The observation and interview were used for data collection. The research results demonstrated that mobile phone has great potential as an instructional tool for acquiring English vocabulary. The findings also indicated that the process of acquiring English vocabulary is caused by two factors. The first is psycholinguistic factors and the second is social factors. The finding indicated that the psycholinguistic factors hold the significant one. It can be seen from the repetition and exploration done by their own self in acquiring the English vocabulary. While the social factor such as people around them (their parents and friends) have less contribution in assisting them in acquiring the English vocabulary. Regarding the comprehension of vocabulary that they acquired, the findings suggested that three students understand and know the real meaning of most of the English vocabulary that they gained from daily mobile phone use. While the rest (four) students knew the words only based on words function without knowing the real meaning of each English word. Generally, findings clearly showed that mobile phones facilitated students in acquiring English vocabulary independently.

It could be concluded that realia media had a positive effect towards students’ descriptive writing ability at the seventh grade of SMP PGRI Kramatwatu.
The Correlation between Vocabulary Mastery and Reading Comprehension among High School Students
Authors: Ofayani Desi
Published: January 2025

Exploring students background knowledge in pre-reading activities suggests the importance of interaction in the process of meaning making which requires appropriate vocabulary. Although many factors constitute students’ comprehension, vocabulary should be the main concern in EFL reading classes.  Consistence with this premise, the current study was aimed at proving the correlation between students’ vocabulary mastery and their reading comprehension at tenth grade students of SMAN 1 Kramatwatu. This correlational study involved 37 students taken through purposive random sampling. Vocabulary and reading tests were employed to determine the correlation between students’ vocabulary mastery and their reading comprehension. Based on the results of the research, it could be noticed that the R-count > R-table (0.357 > 0.324) which means that H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. In conclusion, there was a low correlation between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension at tenth grade students of SMAN 1 Kramatwatu.

Authors: Sahrani Riana , Dewi Fransisca Iriani R.
Published: January 2025

Measuring wisdom in cross-cultural contexts is challenging, particularly in Indonesia, where diverse cultural norms and values require tool adaptation for validity and relevance. This study aimed to adapt and validate Brief Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (BSAWS) for Indonesian population. The process included back-translation and cultural adjustments with expert input. Data from 1,986 participants aged 17–64 were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Three of the original nine items were removed due to low contribution, resulting in a six-item model that fit well (p<0.001, RMSEA=0.061, TLI=0.933, CFI=0.960, SRMR=0.026). Reliability assessed with Cronbach's alpha (0.697), indicated good internal consistency. The Indonesian BSAWS is a valid, reliable tool for assessing wisdom in collectivist cultures. This adaptation enriches cross-cultural psychology and supports practical applications, such as educational or training programs designed to foster wisdom in Indonesia.
Numerical method for simulating the model of using insecticide for the optimal control of mosquitoes for the eradication of malaria
Authors: Adamu Samuel , Aduroja Ojo Olamiposi
Published: January 2025

In order to simulate the mathematical model of eliminating malaria by controlling the population of mosquitoes with insecticide and the insecticide's residual effects, the study developed a four points hybrid block algorithm. The convergence and stability qualities of the block method are established. The block approach is applied after the variable control problems are generated using Pontryagin's principle. The forward-backward sweep methods of the block method are applied. The method is then implemented using a computer code using MATLAB R2018a mathematical software. According to the findings of this study, the simulated result from this approach displayed a significantly lower number of mosquitoes while lessening the negative effects of the insecticide, which in turn will reduce the high rate of malaria spreading.

Published: January 2025

This phenomenological qualitative study reports the advantages and drawbacks of implementing the Synchronous Online Flipped Learning Approach (SOFLA) in two mixed ability English classes at the Technical University of Cotopaxi-Ecuador, during the COVID-19 pandemic. It attempted to identify the opinions of eleven students, who were pre-service teachers of two classes (Fifth, Groups A and B) and one English teacher about their experiences in eight online flipped productive lessons. The teacher was interviewed, and focus groups were conducted with strong, average, and weak students in three separate groups; thematic analysis was used to categorize the data. The findings suggested that the main advantages of SOFLA were a) creating a positive learning environment, b) improving English language learning, c) fostering collaborative learning, d) promoting learning from mistakes, and e) facilitating peer feedback. In addition, the teacher gave positive opinions about the SOFLA Framework and the SHAC (share, help, ask, and comment) peer feedback model because they were useful when giving online flipped lessons and made peer feedback more meaningful. Nevertheless, there were some drawbacks such as a) lack of compatibility in groups, b) peer teacher anxiety, c) time management, and d) limited internet connections. Most of these drawbacks were related to the variety of English levels, students’ first experience with peer feedback and peer teaching, and access to technology. The teacher described difficulties with the peer teaching and peer feedback strategies as well as with time and technology. This suggests that SOFLA can be useful in teaching English online in foreign language classrooms; however, it is necessary for teachers to identify strategies to minimize the drawbacks.
Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety and Computer Self-efficacy in an Online Emergency Remote Teaching Environment: Perceptions from EFL Learners
Authors:   Universidad Andres Bello, Cancino Marco , Cabello Gonzalo
Published: January 2025

Foreign language speaking anxiety (FLSA) has been regarded as one of the main inhibitors of language development. However, the relationship between FLSA and factors that can be influenced by emergency remote teaching (ERT), such as computer self-efficacy (CSE), have been unexplored. It is pertinent to assess students’ perceptions of FLSA in online environments that were affected by the abrupt change from face-to-face to online classrooms after the pandemic, as teachers can create strategies to tackle the lack of online learner engagement reported in the literature. Therefore, this mixed-methods study sought to assess students’ perceptions of FLSA in ERT settings and understand the relationship between FLSA and CSE in such contexts. To this end, 124 Chilean university English as a foreign language (EFL) learners were asked to complete the second language speaking anxiety scale (SLSAS) and the computer self-efficacy scale (CSES), followed by semi-structured interviews with 12 participants. Quantitative results revealed high FLSA and CSE scores, but no significant correlation was found between them. Qualitative results brought several aspects affecting FLSA to the surface, such as the impact of feedback/assessment, perceptions toward the teacher, the influence of peer interaction, technology-related aspects, and the impact of ERT. The study indicates a need for teachers to adopt strategies to reduce FLSA in an ERT setting, such as giving enough planning time, curbing aggressive stances toward speaking, and finding new ways of interacting with technology.

Published: January 2025

When we look at the articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan, direct responsibility has
not been envisaged for actions such as harassing individuals, making sexually disturbing remarks and actions,
entering a person's intimate zone, or touching them. Such actions are often labeled as "perversion" in our society. When we say "perversion," we understand a person who has lost morals, an immoral person. In our country, mainly individuals belonging to the female sex are exposed to sexual harassment when moving on the
streets, using public transport, or at any mass event by individuals. When we talk about sexual assault, they encounter incidents such as making sexual proposals, persistent attempts to get acquainted, or touching various
parts of women's bodies (hair, clothing, body, etc.). In order to prevent such cases and to ensure that the perpetrators of these actions are justly prosecuted, " perversion" is considered an independent act, and the person who
committed it must bear criminal and administrative responsibility.

Semakin terjangkau dan banyaknya ruang publik yang menyediakan akses internet gratis membawa dampak positif dan negatif bagi para pelajar dari kelompok marginal. Di satu sisi internet memberikan kemudahan dalam mengakses informasi, namun kurangnya pendampingan dari orang tua dan lokasi tempat tinggal dan sekolah yang berada di sekitar terminal membuat mereka rentan mengalami kekerasan di dunia nyata maupun maya. Pelajar dari kelompok marginal memiliki resiko yang lebih tinggi untuk terlibat dan menjadi korban dari ujaran kebencian dibandingkan pelajar yang berada di lingkungan yang lebih kondusif. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini dimaksudkan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman pelajar dari kelompok marginal mengenai literasi media dan ujaran kebencian di media sosial. Kegiatan ini dilakukan dalam bentuk ceramah interaktif dan diskusi dengan menggunakan media pembelajaran berupa power point, video, stand banner dan poster. Metode untuk mengukur keberhasilan kegiatan dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara, pre-test dan post-tes. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman pelajar mengenai literasi media, ujaran kebencian dan kemampuan mengidentifikasi bentuk-bentuknya, dan juga kemampuan mengidentifikasi akun dan cara melaporkan akun pelaku ujaran kebencian. Kegiatan ini juga menemukan, bahwa status sebagai kelompok marginal tidak menjadikan mereka rentan mengalami ujaran kebencian berdasarkan kelas sosial. Hal ini karena komunikasi melalui media sosial dilakukan secara termediasi, memungkinkan penggunanya untuk anonim, dan membentuk identitas virtual. Walaupun demikian, kurangnya pendampingan dari orang tua dan lingkungan tempat tinggal yang kurang kondusif menjadikan mereka lebih rentan mengalami dampak negatif dari media sosial dan ujaran kebencian

Published: January 2025

The use of plants for medicinal purposes from past to present continues as traditional treatments. One of these plants, Echium species, is known for its high phytochemical content and its use as a sedative or in colds. In this study, the antibacterial, antioxidant and anticancer properties of Echium italicum L. were investigated. Its anticancer effect was tested in HepG2 (liver cancer) and MCF-7 (breast cancer) cell lines. Its antimicrobial effect was also investigated in Candida albicans, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Bacillus megaterium and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that the highest cytotoxic effect was observed in the HepG2 cell line with 23% dead cell count. This suggests that the plant is especially effective in liver cancer cell lines. It was found that the extract prepared in hexane had the largest inhibition zone diameter (15 mm) against C. albicans in terms of antibacterial activity. The highest DPPH radical scavenging activity was observed in methanol extract with 37.6%. Considering the IC50 value in DPPH, hexane extract exhibited better activity than methanol extract (IC50 = 20.7 µg/ml). The data obtained from the study indicate that E. italicum has cytotoxic, antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. It is thought that the present study may contribute to the development and design of new anticancer and antimicrobial drugs, especially in the field of cancer research and pharmacology. In addition, it was concluded that the studies on the medical potential of E. italicum should be expanded and more comprehensive studies should be conducted.
Donna a banchetto nell’antichità: Cleopatra VII
Authors: Monti Ilaria
Published: January 2025

Nella Vita di Antonio Plutarco riferisce del sontuoso banchetto offerto da Cleopatra VII, ultima regina ellenistica e sovrana d’Egitto, a Marco Antonio, che ricambia a sua volta, in occasione del loro incontro a Tarso; fatto descritto, con qualche differenza, anche da Socrate di Rodi. A partire da tali fonti l’articolo vuole riflettere sulla donna a banchetto nell’antichità confrontando passato e presente, da Omero sino alla fine dell’età ellenistica ossia l'inizio dell'età augustea, tra Oriente ed Occidente mediterranei, mondo greco e mondo etrusco e romano. Tornando a Cleopatra, si esaminano altri convivi organizzati dalla Regina insieme ad Antonio in relazione al circolo dei ‘Viventi inimitabili’ fondato dai due: inviti all’insegna del lusso e del divertimento ma aventi altre finalità. In ultimo, l’immagine di Cleopatra che beve vino a banchetto offre l’occasione per una riflessione, ancora in chiave comparatistica, sul rapporto tra la donna ed il vino nell’antichità.
Il simposio e la tradizione platonica: origine e sviluppi del mito del coppiere divino
Authors:   Università degli studi di Bergamo, Ottonello Francesco
Published: January 2025

Il contributo esamina l’origine e gli sviluppi del mito del coppiere divino Ganimede in rapporto al simposio e alla tradizione platonica, mediante un’analisi comparatistica di varie fonti letterarie e iconografiche.
La sua figura, presente già in Omero (Il. V 259-72, XX 230-235), è interpretata in modi differenti nel corso dei secoli, dando luogo a tre principali linee di lettura: di tipo (omo)erotico, simbolico e storico-evemeristico.
Un legame precipuo di Ganimede con la dimensione simposiale emerge da Teognide (1345-50) a Euripide (Cyc. 577-689), oltre che nelle prime rappresentazioni iconografiche della ceramica ateniese di tardo VI a.C.
Nelle Leggi (I 636c-d), Platone suggerisce una genesi cretese del mito, che è possibile connettere con i rapimenti iniziatico-rituali dell’isola. Nel Fedro (255c-d), invece, rielabora ulteriormente la sua figura leggendola come simbolo di elevazione spirituale e unione divina, così come fa Senofonte nel Simposio (VIII 30), prendendo in considerazione l’etimologia.
Il “pane degli angeli” fra liturgia e filosofia
Authors:   Università degli studi di Bergamo, Saccenti Riccardo
Published: January 2025

Il Convivio di Dante si apre con l’immagine del “pan degli angeli” con cui viene indicato il contenuto dottrinale della sapienza con cui “banchettano” i grandi filosofi e dalle cui briciole l’Alighieri intende ricavare l’alimento per allestire un convivio a cui sono invitati soprattutto i nobili perché riacquistino consapevolezza del loro ruolo. Il richiamo al panis angelicus lega la metafora conviviale del testo dantesco non solo alla tradizione del convito filosofico, che raccoglie i dotti a discutere in una ricerca condivisa del vero. Emerge anche l’immagine del convivio “eucaristico”, nel quale ci si ciba di quel pane che a seguito della consacrazione divien corpo di Cristo, cioè di colui che è Verbo e Sapienza. Il contributo intende riprendere il modo in cui l’Alighieri declina la nozione di “pane degli angeli”, cercando di cogliere come i motivi, liturgici, teologici e filosofici, oltre che letterari, che sottendono al testo del Convivio, vengano utilizzati per arrivare ad una elaborazione originale sul tema della sapienza e del sapere come cibo per gli intelletti.
The Educational Merits of Banquets and Wine Consumption in Plato’s "Symposium" and "Laws"
Authors:   University of the Peloponnese, Liotsakis Vasileios
Published: January 2025

In this paper, I endeavor to demonstrate that the similarities between the Symposium and the Athenian’s normative agenda about banquets in the Laws are so close and so many that it can justifiably be argued that in the Symposium Plato follows a system of values which we also find in its entirety in the Laws. I argue that this agenda is inextricably related in Plato’s mind to the virtue of courage, the other part of which entails practicing keeping in check one’s fears in battle. Socrates, although not the most appropriate candidate for the position of a banquet’s head, undoubtedly resists more than anyone else in the Symposium the “enemies” he confronts at the party and thereby emerges as not only the most moderate but also as the most courageous of all.

Un’esperienza teatrale che ha visto la messa in scena del Simposio platonico presso l’Università degli studi di Bergamo offre l’occasione per riflettere su questo testo e sui suoi aspetti di “teatralità”, sull’eco con cui continua a manifestarsi nella cultura europea a distanza di secoli, e sul simposio stesso, come istituzione cardine della cultura greco-romana e non solo. L’insieme dei contributi raccolti in questo volume, ad opera di studiosi di discipline diverse, fornisce una nuova chiave di lettura sul simposio nella sua dimensione più ampia, rituale, diacronica e geograficamente diffusa, e fa riecheggiare la voce di Socrate e Diotima, oltre che nel teatro, anche nell’arte, nella letteratura e nella filosofia.
Climate Risk Disclosure and Financial Reporting Quality of Non-Financial Firms in Nigeria
Authors: ADEKANMI Aderemi Daniel , APALOWOWA Olusola Daniel
Published: January 2025

Globally, climate risk complicates investors' ability to assess whether management's decision to withhold climate risk information reflects intentional concealment or a genuine assessment of insignificance. This study investigates the relationship between the quality of financial reporting and climate risk disclosure among Nigerian-listed non-financial companies, with a focus on Dangote Cement Plc, Obajana, Nigeria. Using a survey research methodology, data were collected from 255 employees in the Administrative and Finance departments with at least seven years of tenure (source: worker time book, April 2024). From this population, 100 employees with relevant experience and awareness of climate risk were selected via purposive sampling. The findings revealed that environmental risk disclosure (t = 4.828; p < 0.05) and risk management disclosure measures (t = 0.921; p < 0.05) positively and significantly influence financial reporting quality. The study concludes that addressing climate risk is crucial for improving the disclosure quality of financial reports and ensuring the provision of relevant, industry-specific information on climate-related risks. To enhance transparency and facilitate meaningful comparisons, the study recommends establishing governance structures and oversight mechanisms for climate risk disclosure, assigning accountability to specific members or committees, conducting regular reviews of disclosure practices, and ensuring consistency and comparability across firms and over time in light of evolving risks, regulations, and best practices.
Association of COVID-19 Vaccination and Infection Rates: Insights from Anchorage, Alaska
Authors: Campbell Xaviour
Published: January 2025

This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination rates and infection incidence rates within the Municipality of Anchorage, Alaska. Data retrieved from the Alaska COVID-19 Information Hub covered 11 four-week periods, from October 10, 2020, to August 19, 2021. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient test revealed a strong negative monotonic relationship, while scatterplot analysis confirmed a high negative correlation. The statistical analysis demonstrated that the probability of the null hypothesis occurring by chance was significantly low, leading to its rejection in favor of the alternative hypothesis. The findings provide clear evidence that COVID-19 vaccines effectively reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infections; as vaccination rates increase, infection rates decrease. However, with 44.3% of the Anchorage population still unvaccinated, achieving the Municipality’s 70% vaccination goal is unlikely without the implementation of additional public health mandates and policies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
Breaking Barriers or Widening Divides? An Examination of Survey Responses
Authors: Tapp Felicia Warlick
Published: January 2025

In an increasingly digital world, advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer the promise of dismantling barriers to opportunity, such as financial limitations, geographical isolation, and restricted access to education. Despite this potential, survey data highlights a persisting concern: the widening gap between technology adopters and non-adopters. This divide arises from systemic barriers, including high costs, digital literacy gaps, and time constraints, which hinder equitable access. Furthermore, while personal motivation is pivotal in overcoming these obstacles, it often remains constrained by external challenges. This paper explores these dynamics through an analysis of survey responses on the accessibility, effectiveness, and perceptions of ICT and AI tools. The findings illuminate systemic inequities and emphasize the need for targeted strategies to bridge the digital divide. Key recommendations include enhancing digital literacy training, reducing costs, and promoting inclusive policies to ensure that these transformative technologies empower individuals without exacerbating societal disparities.
Pitch Perfect: Leveraging Technology to Enhance Umpiring Accuracy in Baseball
Authors: Freeman Emily
Published: January 2025

This paper argues for the implementation of technology to assist umpires in Major League Baseball (MLB) in order to reduce errors, biases, and unfair outcomes. Despite the tradition of human officiating, umpire mistakes, such as incorrect ball and strike calls, have been a persistent issue throughout baseball’s history. Data from MLB’s 2018 season reveals that umpires made over 34,000 incorrect calls, with potentially game-changing consequences. Additionally, studies have shown that umpires may exhibit unconscious racial biases when calling pitches. The introduction of technologies like TrackMan, which tracks pitches in real-time, and PitchCom, which prevents sign stealing, can improve the accuracy and fairness of calls, helping to eliminate human error and bias. While some may argue that technology undermines the sport’s traditional appeal, this paper contends that it can enhance the integrity of the game, making it more enjoyable for both players and fans. Fans interviewed about this topic overwhelmingly were pro-technological assistance for umpires because of the countless mistakes they have witnessed. By reducing mistakes and ensuring unbiased officiating, technology has the potential to significantly improve baseball's competitive fairness.
Kebijakan Pendidikan pada Era Pengaruh Yunani-Romawi di Timur Tengah Pra-Islam
Authors: Dina Fahira  , Aria Nopriyansyah  , Agiel Laksamana Putra
Published: January 2025

Kemajuan keilmuan Islam masa silam, yang lalu berpuncak di masa Dinasti Abbasiyah, kerap dikaitkan dengan pewarisan khazanah keilmuan Pra-Islam akibat penaklukan daerah-daerah bekas jajahan Romawi yang menjadi tempat berkembangnya filsafat Yunani. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana kebijakan bidang pendidikan pada era pengaruh Yunani-Romawi di Timur Tengah Pra-Islam ?. Metode penelitian yang diambil adalah kesejarahan dengan langkah-langkah heuristik, kritik, sintesis, dan historiografi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan, meski diasumsikan bahwa kebijakan pendidikan era Pra-Islam dianggap baik, namun manajemen pendidikan yang mapan dan terpadu belum terbentuk. Penataan belajar-mengajar masih sederhana dengan menerapkan sistem tutor serta tidak semua filosof telah menuliskan karya-karyanya. Meski terdapat otoritas seperti Dinasti Ptolemy di Mesir yang membangun perpustakaan dan museum serta menugaskan pengumpulan karya-karya intelektual, tetapi belum ada undang-undang serta regulasi seperti dalam merumuskan kurikulum ataupun membentuk lembaga / departemen kependidikan. Sehingga kegiatan pendidikan hanya terkonsentrasi di pusat-pusat ataupun kota-kota besar peradaban saja.

Published: January 2025

Context: Today's legal theory, imbued with neoconstitutionalist views, questions previous ideological paradigms, especially positivism. Problem: However, there are doubts as to whether this new vision effectively structures a new ideological basis for Law, for the theory of Law. Objective: This text aimed to demonstrate that neoconstitutionalism reveals the consolidation of a new ideology for Law. Method: Supported by a narrative review, this paper explores the theoretical bases of the neoconstitutional view of Law, establishing counterpoints to ideological positivism and ideological constitutionalism. Result: The positivist theory of Law has long been threatened by its paradigms of blind obedience or prima facie obedience, as has constitutionalism in its paradigm of conditional obedience. Final considerations: Neoconstitutionalism, in turn, has consolidated intelligent obedience, the true ideological basis for a new theory of Law.
