Translation as growth: Xiangsheng’s growing trajectory in China and abroad
Authors: Tian Ye , Wang Guanpeng
Published: February 2025

To survive in different environments, performances adapt and grow to the measure of the different conditions of reception offered by these contexts. This article reviews the development in China and abroad of xiangsheng, or ‘crosstalk’, a Chinese comic double-act that relies on quickfire exchanges and narrative skills on stage. It brings together a blend of scripted material and improvisation whose address to the audience is immediate. Through the ecological metaphors of growth and using the lens of semiotic translation, we characterise translation as growth and explore the complexities in xiangsheng’s developing trajectories over time. We review xiangsheng’s development in China by examining current archives and research and examine its growth in diasporic performers by combining interviews with semiotic and textual analysis. Our exploration reveals that translation enables the intermingling of political tension, performers’ self-awareness, audiences’ social and cultural background, and the broader historical background of the form itself as it grows and evolves in different times and locations.
Narrative Depiction of Suicide in Horror Video Games
Authors: López Pérez Blanca Estela
Published: February 2025

This paper presents, and analyses, how a complex subject such as suicide in Western cultures is represented in horror video games. Depiction is more than just graphic images, it is a process that includes the way social imaginaries find a crucible in the way narrative design is built up in the game system. Thus, video games can be considered cultural texts that convey the authors’ deep emotions and cultural meanings on suicide.

Dynamics Trends of Russians’ Mortgage Debt in Tightening Macroprudential Policy
Authors: Bychkova S. G. , Dukhon A. B. , Obraztsova O. I.
Published: February 2025

The Bank of Russia’s macroprudential measures, implemented since 2021, target the growth and structure of Russian household mortgage debt. Tightening these measures over the past three years actualise of the effectiveness and validity of this policy of the Bank of Russia relevant. Therefore, the study aims to analyse by statistical methods the trends in mortgage lending that has developed in Russia in tightening macroprudential policy. To meet the goal, statistical analysis used publicly available data on the dynamics and regional distribution of Russian mortgage debt, along with key mortgage lending terms (interest rates and loan durations). This paper analyzes mortgage loan dynamics (total and per capita) from 2018 to 2024, focusing on how macroprudential measures (higher interest rates and tighter subprime lending limits) curbed growth. The first part of the paper explains prizing mortgage as a mechanism for households’ basic need for a home satisfaction, and discusses why implementing this mechanism poses a threat of a mortgage crisis. The second part analyses territorial differentiation of mortgage loans and terms in monthly dynamics over the past five years. Also, the authors presented results for the macroeconomic factors’ impact on the mortgage. Based on the official statistics, the study proved a high territorial homogeneity of the trends in mortgage. The paper revealed that macroprudential limits will force low-income households to abandon a house that will lead to increase social tension. Resuming, the authors confirmed a significant positive relationship between the key rate and mortgage liability dynamics, thus proving the hypothesis that raising the key rate is unreliable. The paper contends that these developments stem from not only flawed regulatory choices but also insufficient housing affordability and systemic financial flaws. Considering regulatory reform requires looking beyond individual incentives and banking oversight to focus on systemic interconnectedness and mortgage lending transparency.
BIG DATA and ANALYTICS in Accounting: Review and Synthesis of Research
Authors: Zverkova T. N.
Published: February 2025

This study’s relevance comes from adapting accounting for digital transformation and big data (BD). BD and big data analytics (BDA) are now widely accepted terms for large datasets. Analyzing and managing these datasets requires innovative methods. Accountants meet many obstacles when using analytical methods, hindering broader adoption. One of the fundamental difficulties is the insufficient adaptation of traditional accounting platforms to working with BD. Companies incur significant expenses for implementation and ongoing support. An added obstacle to the spread of data analytics in accounting is the conservatism of the profession itself. The paper’s goal is to study the problems and possibilities of using BD in accounting at the present stage. The author used general scientific methods, such as analysis, synthesis, and abstraction, to achieve the goal. The results of the study expand the scientific literature, providing a comprehensive analysis of BD in accounting. The work examined both the advantages and challenges that companies face when implementing these technologies. In ongoing digital transformation, full adoption and integration of BDA requires overcoming existing barriers, including technical aspects and the willingness of professionals to adapt to new requirements.

Authors:   Lublin University of Technology, Faculty of Management, Department of Management, Mieszajkina Elena , Myśliwiecka Agata ,   Lublin University of Technology, Faculty of Management, Department of Management
Published: February 2025

Purpose: Ubiquitous digitalization requires the management of companies to develop a special
type of leadership - digital leadership. It involves holistically combining human and
technological aspects. The article aims to present theoretical and empirical research on digital
leadership in small enterprises in their innovation contexts.
Design/methodology/approach: The study is based on two research methods. The first was
the literature critique method, the application of which made it possible to develop the
methodological assumptions for the research. The second is the diagnostic survey method,
a questionnaire technique used to conduct empirical research on a sample of 131 small
enterprises. The results made it possible to assess the digital leadership level of the surveyed
units regarding their innovation.
Findings: Digital leadership was assumed to consist of activities from three leadership
concepts: transactional, transformational and authentic leadership. Research has shown that the
digital leadership level in small enterprises is low. Their leaders undertake few actions from
each of the three leadership concepts, the worst situation being for transformational leadership.
This negatively affects the enterprises' innovation.
Research limitations/implications: The research conducted brought closer the digital
leadership issue in small enterprises and allowed verification of the adopted research
assumptions. Further research will compare digital leadership levels in enterprises by size,
age and industry.
Practical implications: Research has revealed that a low digital leadership level may be
responsible for the problems associated with digitizing the operations of small enterprises.
Based on them, many recommendations for leaders can be developed.
Originality/value: The survey's originality lies in the development of a concept for assessing
the digital leadership level, considering the small business specifics.

Authors:   Doctoral School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Gdańsk, Muller Marta
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The aim of the article is to theoretically analyze and explain the differences between
the concepts of economic resilience and business robustness, as well as the reasons for these
differences, and to examine their significance in the face of crises. Specifically, the aim of the
paper is to:
 clearly distinguish the concepts of resilience and robustness,
 indicate how both concepts influence the ability of businesses to cope with crises,
 analyze how the methods of measuring resilience and robustness in businesses can
contribute to the conflation of these terms,
 propose an exemplary research methodology for business robustness and resilience,
depending on their definitional characteristics.
Research problem: What differences and similarities exist in the way resilience and robustness
are perceived? How can the application of the same research methods lead to the conflation of
these terms? What is their application in the context of crises?
Design/methodology/approach: The objectives of the article were achieved through the
application of a literature review method, which includes the analysis of existing studies on the
concept of economic resilience and enterprise robustness. The article focuses on presenting the
origins of these concepts, comparing their definitions, and analyzing the conceptual differences
and their causes. The use of economic resilience and enterprise robustness in the face of crises
is also discussed. Additionally, methods for measuring resilience and robustness in enterprises,
depending on the definitional characteristics of these concepts, are presented, along with
examples of economic indicators that allow their measurement. The theoretical framework of
the article is based on an interdisciplinary approach to the concepts of resilience and robustness.
Findings: As a result of the literature analysis, it has been demonstrated that the concepts of
economic resilience and enterprise robustness are often used interchangeably, despite having
different meanings. The article discusses the conceptual differences and their causes.
Originality/value: The article presents a critical distinction between the concepts of economic
resilience and enterprise robustness, which are often confused and incorrectly used as synonyms
in the literature, as well as in other non-scientific publications. The article not only describes
the differences between these concepts but also analyzes the causes of these differences and
their practical significance in relation to the functioning of enterprises during disruptions and
crises. Additionally, it offers proposals for economic indicators that can be helpful in measuring
resilience and robustness in enterprises. The article is particularly valuable for researchers andbusiness practitioners who are interested in the functioning of enterprises in the face of crises, as well as in strengthening robustness and resilience in an unstable environment.

REVITALIZING INDIGENOUS TOURISM: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Authors: Biradar Shravanakumari S
Published: February 2025

Indigenous tourism has emerged as a crucial sector that promotes cultural heritage, economic empowerment, and environmental sustainability for Indigenous communities. Across the world, Indigenous tourism offers unique experiences while fostering cultural pride and self-sufficiency. However, its development faces significant challenges, including systemic marginalization, lack of financial resources, cultural commodification, and infrastructural barriers. Many Indigenous communities struggle with gaining control over their tourism enterprises due to restrictive policies, limited access to funding, and external influences that often exploit their cultural assets without providing equitable benefits. Despite these challenges, Indigenous tourism presents immense opportunities. It serves as a powerful tool for economic development, allowing Indigenous communities to generate employment and improve their living standards. By establishing community-led tourism initiatives such as homestays, cultural festivals, and eco-tourism ventures, Indigenous groups can reclaim their narratives and share their traditions in an authentic manner. Moreover, sustainable Indigenous tourism aligns with global eco-tourism trends, as many Indigenous communities emphasize environmental stewardship and traditional conservation practices. Digital technology further enhances tourism opportunities by enabling Indigenous businesses to reach wider audiences, market their services, and educate travelers about responsible engagement with Indigenous cultures.To ensure the successful revitalization of Indigenous tourism, it is essential to implement inclusive policies, invest in infrastructure, and promote ethical tourism practices that prioritize Indigenous leadership. Collaborative efforts between governments, private stakeholders, and Indigenous communities can create a sustainable model that preserves cultural integrity while maximizing economic benefits. By addressing existing barriers and leveraging new opportunities, Indigenous tourism can thrive as a means of cultural preservation, economic resilience, and sustainable development.
THE ROLE OF ECOTOURISM IN PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Biradar Shravanakumari S
Published: February 2025

Ecotourism plays a vital role in promoting sustainable development by balancing economic growth with environmental conservation and cultural preservation. It emphasizes the importance of responsible travel to natural areas, ensuring that tourism activities benefit local communities, protect biodiversity, and contribute to the long-term health of ecosystems. The concept of ecotourism extends beyond simply visiting natural landscapes; it seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the environmental and cultural significance of these areas, encouraging travelers to engage in practices that minimize their ecological footprint. One of the key ways ecotourism promotes sustainable development is through the generation of income for local communities. By involving indigenous populations and rural areas in tourism activities, ecotourism provides an economic alternative to activities that might otherwise harm the environment, such as logging or mining. This revenue can be reinvested in conservation efforts, enhancing the preservation of biodiversity and natural resources.Ecotourism also raises awareness of environmental issues, making travelers more conscious of the need for conservation. Through educational programs and immersive experiences, visitors learn about the challenges faced by endangered species, climate change, and the importance of sustainable resource management. This awareness can have a ripple effect, encouraging tourists to adopt more sustainable practices in their everyday lives. Moreover, ecotourism supports the preservation of cultural heritage by promoting respect for indigenous traditions and lifestyles. By fostering cultural exchange, ecotourism helps preserve local customs while contributing to global understanding and respect. In conclusion, ecotourism serves as a powerful tool for sustainable development, aligning economic growth with environmental stewardship and cultural preservation. By embracing responsible travel, it creates a model for tourism that benefits both people and the planet, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy the world's natural and cultural treasures.
Effect of CALL-based multimodal pedagogy on learner motivation and willingness to communicate in English: A study from university students’ perspective
Authors: Bashir Amina , Aziz Aamir , Imran Muhammad , Almusharraf Norah
Published: February 2025

With technological advancement, multimodality has received paramount importance in teaching and learning. Different technology-based assistance is available nowadays, and computer-assisted language learning (CALL) is one of them. It uses computer-based tools, materials, resources, and information to assist second language learning. Motivation keeps learners focused and persistent, making them more willing to communicate in a second language. This quantitative study unearths how the use of multimodal pedagogical resources motivates language learners and promotes their willingness to communicate (WTC). For this purpose, data is collected from the English language learners of three semesters from the department of English, University of Sahiwal. From the 3rd, 5th, and 7th semesters, the data is collected using Google Forms, and a five-point Likert scale questionnaire is utilized as the research instrument. The responses are analyzed descriptively using SPSS 29. The validity and reliability analysis of the questionnaire is also done to check the quality and strength of the instrument utilized. Inferential Statistical Analysis is done by using two non-parametric tests, the Mann-Whitney U Test and Kruskal-Wallis H test. From the responses received and the descriptive analysis, it is observed that the use of multimodal pedagogies motivates the learners and makes them more willing to communicate in the target language not only inside the classroom but also outside the classroom.
Testing the durability of persuasion from moral appeals about renewable energy
Authors: Gustafson Abel , Goldberg Matthew H. , Lee Sanguk , Remshard Miriam , Luttrell Andy , Rosenthal Seth A. , Leiserowitz Anthony
Published: February 2025

Research shows that opinions rooted in moral justifications may be more stable over time. This suggests that communicators could create more durable persuasion by adding explicit moral claims (i.e., stating that the issue is a matter of right vs. wrong) to persuasive messages. Here, using animated videos about the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, we conducted a three-stage longitudinal experiment (N = 4,488) to test whether messages with explicit moral claims have more durable persuasive effects than similar messages without. We replicated this test across two distinct moral dimensions: harm to innocent people and contamination of nature’s purity. Our findings show that all message versions had strong immediate persuasive effects relative to a control condition, and much of those effects remained after a three-week period. However, there were no clear advantages—in immediate effects or in durability—from adding explicit moral claims to the messages.
Funny $#!%: Predicting Profanity Use in Creative Humor Production
Authors: Burnett Meriel I. , Silvia Paul Joseph
Published: February 2025

How do people come up with funny ideas? Profanity—the language’s rich panoply of obscenity, vulgarity, and indecency—is a ubiquitous comedic device deployed in creative humor. The present research explored variation in profanity use when generating jokes. A sample of adults (n = 618) completed a creative humor production task, and text-mining methods detected and coded the appearance and severity of profanity. Random forest models were used to identify potentially important predictors, such as variables relevant to profanity generally (e.g., age, gender, and personality traits) and variables specific to humor creation (e.g., humor self-concepts and self-ratings of their jokes’ funniness). Profanity in the jokes was reasonably common, used by 22% of the sample, diverse in type, and generally mild in severity. The random forest models identified a set of uniquely important predictors. Profanity use and severity were marked by being younger, identifying as male, rating one’s own jokes as funny, and expressing more confidence in one’s ability to be funny and make others laugh—a true profile in boorishness. The discussion explores roles for personality in indecorous humor and the broader question of strategic aspects of humor creation.
Community Collaborations and Social Biographies of Museum Collections from Colonial Contexts
Authors: Chipangura Njabulo , Seabela Motsane Getrude
Published: February 2025

In this article, we look at collections of Zulu beadwork at Manchester Museum and Ditsong National Museum of Cultural History tracing their provenances and social biographies. We present these two institutions as colonial museums founded on similar ideals of presenting objects as cultures of the “other” in absence of object and community agency. In rethinking colonial contexts associated with processes of collecting beadwork, we look at how these museums can be decolonized by collaborating with communities. Decolonization is deployed here as both a theory and a method toward the integration of Indigenous ways of knowing and doing in museum practices. Methodologically, the article highlights decolonial strategies in the form of open, democratic, inclusive, and multivocal engagement that we embraced undertaking the research.
Intertwining the Ethno-botanical Amazonian Collections of Spix and Martius and Beyond
Authors: Herzog-Schröder Gabriele
Published: February 2025

This project challenges the division of historical collections into items that belong to the natural sciences and “cultural things.” It develops a conceptual and methodological approach to bridge this divide, which is rooted in nineteenth-century European epistemology. Two hundred years ago, two Bavarian naturalists, the zoologist Johann Baptist Spix and the botanist Carl Friedrich Philipp Martius, returned from a four-year journey through Brazil with ample items of scientific interest. Their assemblages of zoological samples, botanical specimens and ethnographic things were fundamental for the establishment of key scientific collections in Bavaria. The focus here lies on Amazonia, a region that is of great importance for stabilizing the climate on our planet due to its enormous vegetation masses. The examination of one particular ritual mask and the multiple plant materials of which it is constructed (reed, vine and bark) is carried out by intertwining anthropological, botanical, and historical strands of thought—as an approach to reimagine and reconceptualize human–environment relations. The thicket of the Amazon rainforest serves as an image for the interweaving of diverse analytical threads. These reflections on collection items and particular botanical materials are linked with reference to the past and present of two Indigenous societies living in the Amazon today: The Ticuna/Magütá and the Yanomami. The conclusion outlines a vision for a digital exhibition to present the analytical work developed in this text.
A Landscape of Well-Being
Authors: Joy Jody
Published: February 2025

The process of removing cultural material to museums can augment the “nature–culture divide” by physically separating “culture” from “nature.” In this article, I consider ways of disrupting this artificial divide through the example of a journey through my local park and an examination of the displays and collections at the nearby museum where several items from the park are now housed. By describing locations like my local park more broadly as “landscapes,” which are the collaborative products of humans and nonhumans, I hope to further disrupt the “nature–culture divide.” I also argue that experiencing “nature” and “culture” has benefited my own well-being at a particularly difficult period in my life. Reconnecting museums, their collections, and activities with the landscapes where artifacts originated could help improve the well-being of others.

Published: February 2025

Exhibitions and accompanying publications are empowering and powerful vessels for maintaining and preserving Indigenous knowledges and practices for the more than 17 Moana Oceania diaspora communities living in Aotearoa New Zealand. We have had the honor of walking alongside two of these communities, Niue and Kiribati. For Niue, we had Molima Molly Pihigia QSM (Molly) as the Lead (on behalf of her group Falepipi he Mafola Niuean Handcraft Group Inc.) on the journey we took to develop and produce the exhibition and publication, both titled Fenoga Tāoga Niue i Aotearoa: Niue Heritage Journey in Aotearoa (Pihigia et al. 2023). The exhibition was first held at Māngere Arts Centre Ngā Tohu o Uenuku (MAC), in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland from 1 April to 20 May 2023; and then it toured to Pātaka Art + Museum, in Porirua, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, where it opened on 18 November 2023 running until 11 February 2024. With Kiribati, we were privileged to collaborate with I-Kiribati master makers Kaetaeta Watson and Louisa Humphry MNZM to co-curate the exhibition Tibuta – Kinaakiia Ainen Kiribati: Tibuta – Identifies Kiribati Women that was held at Pātaka Art + Museum from 7 October until 11 November 2023. We also helped to set up their publishing arm Te Rabakau Press and facilitated the production process of an accompanying publication, of the same name, launched at the closing of their exhibition (Lagi-Maama 2023).
New Urban Peace in Delhi
Authors: Khetrapal Neha
Published: February 2025

The recent emphasis on “space” within the sphere of conflict and peace studies has duly highlighted the urban space as a legitimate locus for investigative efforts (Björkdahl and Buckley-Zistel 2016, 2022). Maintaining focus on peace for this brief article, I define peace as a space-specific process in line with other theorists (e.g., Macaspac and Moore 2022). The emphasis on space is important because the material structures built on these spaces are saturated with meanings, a sense of collective identity and (collective) memories. These spatial markers can, thus, bind people across generations as imagined communities. In this sense, spaces convey meanings and a sense of connection that can be altered with the change in demographics and the consequent spatial interventions that accompany such changes. There are numerous instances of such spatial interventions after conclusions of wars where spaces are erased to either precipitate forgetting or communal segregation. Examples from the former category include destruction of heritage or architectural cleansing (e.g., Bardi 2016), while “mohallas” or the walled and gated urban communities—dotting older parts of Delhi among other parts of India—serve as examples of spatial divisions that segregate the dwellings that belong to members of different religious groups (e.g., Parveen 2016).

The proposed control law is has two parts: a linear component and a nonlinear component. The linear component is designed with the objective to track an appropriate reference model given. The nonlinear control component provides robustness in face nonlinearities, disturbances, parametric uncertainties and sensor faults. The performance of proposed controller is tested in two examples: the PR and ELBOW robot models, which are simulated in Simulink of MATLAB®.

Authors: Trejos Buriticá Omar Ivan
Published: February 2025

The Meaningful Learning Theory, its essence the concept of meaning, and the use of a thinking preferences model, from the idea of education as a communication process,  makes it possible that the computer programming area, in its first steps (Programming I and Programming II), has reduced low levels of academic performance in the last six semesters. The strategies adopted in these courses have permitted a notorious improvement in terms of knowledge on programming logic in the students, which can be noticed in the next courses in the same area, and a better use of new technologies in communication and personal relationships among teacher andstudents, improving the academic climate and facilitating the use of a specific knowledge based on what is called meaning concept. All this was used in the learning process of the students who are attending the program Computing and Systems Engineering, at Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira.

Published: February 2025

This article examines the implementation and effectiveness of the Fraud and Abuse Management System (FAMS) in healthcare claims processing, addressing the critical challenge of fraudulent claims in the healthcare industry. The article presents a comprehensive analysis of FAMS, a machine learning-driven solution designed to detect and prevent healthcare fraud through automated pattern recognition and predictive modeling. Through systematic evaluation of implementation data across multiple healthcare organizations, this article demonstrates FAMS's capability in identifying various fraud types, including medical identity theft, upcoding, and unauthorized billing. The findings indicate significant improvements in fraud detection accuracy and reduction in false positives compared to traditional methods, while simultaneously decreasing the manual review workload. The article also reveals key implementation challenges and provides strategic recommendations for healthcare organizations considering FAMS adoption. This article contributes to the growing body of literature on automated healthcare fraud detection and offers practical insights for healthcare administrators and policymakers in their efforts to combat fraudulent claims processing.
Reparar grietas, resanar daños. La relación simbólica entre la casa de la infancia y la figura paterna en el ensayo “La casa paterna”, de Teresa González Arce.
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, slas Arévalo Marco Antonio
Published: February 2025

En su ensayo “La casa paterna”, la autora Teresa González Arce crea un vínculo simbólico entre la casa de la infancia y la figura paterna. La narración se da a través de un juego entre la memoria y la fabulación que articula el vínculo símbólico casa-padre a distintos niveles. De esta forma, la narradora utiliza el vínculo para explicar la relación con su padre, y a la inversa, para explicar la de él con su propia familia. En última instancia, el rememorar las reparaciones a la casa manifiesta el esfuerzo por restaurar las vivencias junto a la figura paterna y reconciliarse con la tragedia de su destino.

ironía y sus variantes en el cuento “No diga que no, don Patricio” de César López Cuadras
Authors: Morales Ochoa Luis Ricardo
Published: February 2025

En este artículo se hace un recuento de las diversas manifestaciones de la ironía en el cuento “No diga que no, don Patricio” de César López Cuadras, escritor mexicano originario de Badiraguato, Sinaloa. En el estudio se hace una interpretación del recurso irónico que permea los diálogos de los personajes del médico y de don Patricio, los cuales ponen en juego una mirada crítica sobre la doble moral que predomina en las masculinidades de algunas poblaciones rurales de México como la que se representa en dicha obra literaria. A modo de sustento teórico se toman, como fuente primaria, los aportes que el teórico mexicano Lauro Zavala expone en su libro Humor, ironía y lectura: las fronteras de la escritura literaria (1993), así como los aportes de Elsa Guevara Ruiseñor (2005), José Carlos Ramírez Rodríguez (2006) y Beatriz Ranea Treviño (2021)
