EXPLORING PERSPECTIVES IN ART: THE ESSENCE OF BEAUTY– OBJECTIVE OR SUBJECTIVE
Authors: Shweta
Published: February 2025

Humans have been creating art in various forms since ages to express themselves. Art is a therefore not only an important but also an essential aspect of human evolution as well as civilization. This paper aims to explore art and its related issues. Since art reflects the societal values, technological advancements, and philosophical thought through different cultures and eras, the paper follows the trajectory of art through history. It also presents the key aspects of art which include its ability to evoke emotions, convey messages, and challenge perceptions, providing the human experience with platforms of intricate expressions.The paper also emphasises on the difference between art and craft denoting both their essential features respectively. It is important to understand and appreciate the differences. It is also important to note that there are many kinds of arts, the classification of which generally includes categories such as visual arts, performing arts, and literary arts, etc. each possessing its unique characteristics and purposes.The standards of beauty in art have been under discussion for the longest time. There has always been a debate about whether the beauty in arts should be judged by universal rational principles like symmetry and harmony, by empirical individual standards encompassing cultural contexts, personal preferences, etc. In this light the paper will touch upon the western theory of art, with special reference to theory of taste. The paper would then move on to analyse the purpose or function of art and conclude by looking at the idea of value judgement itself.

Published: February 2025

Many Indonesians work as Indonesian Migrant Workers (TKI) abroad, most of them are from Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, East Lombok district in particular. Becoming a migrant worker means being ready to leave your beloved family and closest people in your hometown to pursue a career in another country. Being separated by distances affects the communication process that occurs between workers and their families in their hometowns. This research will analyze family communication patterns that carried out by the families of Indonesian migrant workers using a phenomenological approach using qualitative descriptive methods. Specifically, this research will analyze the family's communication patterns before, during and after they work as migrant worker. The results shows that the family communication pattern carried out by Indonesian Migrant Workers from Jenggik Utara Village, East Lombok Regency, classified into three phases, namely the ‘initial’ phase of wanting to become a migrant worker, the ‘during’ phase when they actually work abroad, and the ‘after’ phase when they no longer being a migrant worker. Where overall they carry out primary communication patterns in the ‘initial’ phase and ‘after’ phase, while secondary communication patterns in the ‘during’ phase. Furthermore, the family relationship scheme that they implement is a consensual scheme, with a high level of conversation orientation and conformity, so the family members are open to each other in making decisions together, whether they want to leave the country to serve as migrant worker, or provide opportunities for their children to freely choose the path they will take in life in the future.

Economia compartilhada: negócios disruptivos, desproteção jurídica dos trabalhadores e a necessidade de regulamentação internacional concomitante
Authors: Sales Rafael Henrique Dias
Published: February 2025

A economia compartilhada ganhou propulsão a partir do desenvolvimento de novos modelos de negócios dispostos na forma de plataformas digitais. O avanço dessas plataformas tem modificado as tradicionais formas de prestação de serviços humanos, com mais flexibilidade de horários para os trabalhadores, o que faz com que as plataformas reivindiquem uma roupagem jurídica diversa dos tradicionais contratos de emprego. No texto, demonstra-se que este discurso de autonomia é limitado, quando analisados aspectos que envolvem a subordinação algorítmica, razão pela qual houve grande desenvolvimento no campo doutrinário, que tem influenciado na jurisprudência, bem como na legislação, tanto do Brasil quanto de outros países, demonstrando que o controle dos dados permite uma gestão mais eficaz do que os meios tradicionais de fiscalização. A guerra jurídica está ocorrendo em diversos locais ao mesmo tempo, razão pela qual defende-se uma proposta a partir da Organização Internacional do Trabalho – OIT, que, por meio de suas Convenções, tem sido um farol para diversas legislações internacionais pelo mundo. Assim, estudou-se os documentos produzidos pela OIT nos últimos anos, preocupada com esse tipo de labor e que devem fomentar as discussões que ocorrerão no âmbito da Conferência Internacional do Trabalho marcada para 2025 e que possivelmente proporá uma nova Convenção sobre o tema. O método será o dedutivo, a partir da análise da doutrina, em especial sobre economia compartilhada e subordinação algorítmica, e dos documentos referenciados.

O sono é um processo fisiológico essencial para a homeostase, a memória, o equilíbrio emocional e o funcionamento metabólico. A privação de sono, um problema crescente reconhecido pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), é associada a estresse, demandas de trabalho e uso excessivo de dispositivos eletrônicos. Essa condição afeta negativamente a regulação emocional e a memória, prejudicando o desempenho cognitivo e aumentando o risco de transtornos como ansiedade e depressão. A consolidação da memória ocorre principalmente durante o sono profundo e REM, enquanto a falta dessas fases impacta áreas cerebrais cruciais, como a amígdala e o córtex pré-frontal. Este estudo, por meio de uma revisão integrativa, analisou os impactos da privação de sono na saúde cerebral, incluindo os mecanismos neurológicos envolvidos. A pesquisa foi realizada na base PubMed com artigos publicados entre 2000 e 2024. Dos estudos analisados, destacou-se a importância do sistema homeostático e do ritmo circadiano na regulação do sono, mediados por estruturas como o núcleo supraquiasmático e o VLPO, além de neurotransmissores como orexina, serotonina e GABA. O artigo reforça a necessidade de práticas que promovam a qualidade do sono para preservar a saúde cognitiva e emocional.

M. Heidegger e a Manualidade-do-Mundo (Zuhandenheit)
Authors: Silva Jayme Camargo da
Published: February 2025

A presente obra tratará do problema filosófico do conhecimento. Inicialmente, abordará como se dá o acesso às nossas vivências no cotidiano. Em um segundo momento, discutirá os efeitos da “técnica” (tecnologia) no processo de conhecimento envolvido nestas vivências. Tematizará a relação “acesso às vivências – Técnica”, a partir do “manuseio” da nossa existência neste processo. Para tal objetivo, utilizará como matriz teórica o pensamento do filósofo alemão Martin Heidegger. Em sendo um trabalho de filosofia, estabelecer a Fenomenologia Hermenêutica como paradigma significa definir o método de trabalho. Identificamos a temática, assim, com o desenvolvimento da filosofia heideggeriana. Heidegger investigou, nas “primeiras lições” até “Ser e Tempo” (1927), o modo como o ser humano conhece originariamente o fenômeno de suas vivências. O horizonte destes escritos é dar um passo atrás na relação “sujeito-objeto” como relação fundadora do conhecimento. O ponto culminante destes desenvolvimentos conceituais é a “manualidade-do-mundo” (Zuhandenheit) em “Ser e Tempo”. Esta noção demonstra que no âmbito “ateorético” originário (não mediado cognitivamente pela consciência), por meio da característica de nossa existência de “ser-em”, não há separação entre sujeito e objeto. No referido contexto, é bem verdade, não há que se falar em “sujeito” e “objeto”. Heidegger está trabalhando com o termo alemão Dasein para descrever a existência humana nas vivências da vida. Um objeto predicável qualquer, antes de ser sujeito ou objeto de uma predicação é um ente à mão do Dasein. Isso revela que o Dasein usa instrumentos históricos ao vivenciar as ocupações da época histórica em que existe. Assim, como ganho de “Ser e Tempo”, o filósofo elaborou a temporalidade (Zeitlichkeit) como o sentido do ser. A virada no seu pensamento manifestou como tarefa a investigação da temporalidade como abertura do ser em geral. Há um abandono do ser como conceito transcendental – mesmo enquanto manual do Dasein – para se perscrutar o tempo como abertura histórica de época. Heidegger passa a re-interpretar a história do ocidente a partir da abertura de época que cada princípio metafísico constituiu. Segundo Heidegger, “Ideias” (Platão), “substância” (Aristóteles), “cogito” (Descartes), “eu transcendental” (Kant) e “vontade de poder” (Nietzsche) são os princípios que determinaram o acesso à realidade em cada época da história do ocidente. Com a vontade de poder nietzscheana, o homem chega à “técnica moderna”. Ela constitui-se como o princípio de acesso ao conhecimento da “realidade”. Esta obra demonstrará o fenômeno da “tecnificação das mãos” como consequência da era da Técnica no modo de acesso originário ao conhecimento.

Published: February 2025

Neste capítulo, foi abordado o relacionamento entre Educação Aberta (EA) e Universidade Inteligente. A EA incorpora práticas, recursos e tecnologias de acesso livre que possibilitam a produção, uso, disseminação e aplicação de materiais educativos. O foco principal é ampliar o acesso e a participação na educação, superando barreiras e proporcionando diversas abordagens para o aprendizado e o compartilhamento de conhecimento. Na nossa visão, as universidades são inteligentes quando colocam os seres humanos no centro do processo educacional, promovendo uma educação inclusiva e acessível a todos, independentemente das barreiras tecnológicas ou sociais. Nas universidades inteligentes, a EA é incorporada ao dia a dia. Os MOOC têm se tornado uma tendência nas Instituições de Educação Superior (IES) para a disseminação do conhecimento. As motivações para a participação nos MOOC variam entre objetivos pessoais, como o desejo de aprender algo novo, e profissionais, como a obtenção de certificados para melhorar as qualificações no mercado de trabalho. As motivações para oferta de MOOC são vastas como a vocação profissional, interesse pela inovação pedagógica e busca por feedback para melhorar suas práticas, além da busca pelo reconhecimento profissional, oportunidade de criar uma comunidade de prática e possibilidade de sistematizar e disseminar o conhecimento acumulado ao longo dos anos. Como exemplo, a apresentamos a Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), como uma universidade inteligente, que sistematiza o vasto conhecimento acumulado por seus professores e pesquisadores ao longo de décadas. Esse conhecimento é transformado em pedagogias, metodologias e produtos que despertam o interesse de novos estudantes e outros docentes, garantindo a continuidade das pesquisas e a aplicação prática do saber.

Published: February 2025

Child sexual abuse is a critical public health issue, affecting one in eight children worldwide. This study evaluates the validity and reliability of the SmartShield questionnaires, designed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to sexual education and abuse prevention among primary school children. The SmartShield 1 and SmartShield 2 questionnaires underwent validation processes, including expert content validation, face validation with teachers, and internal structure assessment involving 167 children in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. The results indicated strong content validity index averages of 0.90 and 0.91, and face validity index averages of 0.87 and 0.89, both exceeding established cut-offs. Additionally, the internal consistency, measured by Cronbach’s alpha, showed acceptable values for both questionnaires. Overall, the SmartShield questionnaires are validated tools for assessing children’s knowledge, attitudes, and skills regarding sexual education and abuse prevention. These instruments are valuable for future research aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of sexual abuse prevention programs.
Examining difficulties, challenges, and alternative conceptions students exhibit while learning about heat and temperature concepts
Authors: Salame Issa I. , Fadipe Oluwamuyiwa , Akter Samiha
Published: February 2025

At the elementary, secondary, and post-secondary stages of education, the ideas of heat and temperature are crucial to science education. This study set out to look into the difficulties that students have when learning about heat and temperature. A survey containing open-ended, multiple-choice, and Likert-scale questions was utilized by the researchers to gauge the comprehension of 205 participants who the City College of New York students were. The investigation’s findings showed that students had trouble developing a conceptual understanding of the topics of heat and temperature and frequently rely on their own knowledge, reason, and common sense rather than establishing a thorough scientific understanding. Their capacity to apply these concepts in various circumstances is hampered by this conceptual knowledge deficit. The study also discovered that as individuals advance through their academic careers, they typically get a better comprehension of heat and temperature concepts. The results of this study suggest that educators should be aware of these difficulties and work on addressing the need of students to develop meaningful, deep learning of these concepts.

Authors: Setiawan Ezra Putranda , Kismiantini Kismiantini
Published: February 2025

Mathematical ability has an important role in supporting the progress of science and technology in a country, including in Southeast Asia and Australia. This study aims to compare students' mathematical abilities at various grades in Southeast Asia and Australia countries and to see the effect of the growth mindset on this ability. The research data was obtained from the results of the 2018 PISA survey for Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, plus Australia as an additional comparison. Quantitative analysis was carried out using linear regression models with and without interaction. The results showed that there was a significant interaction between grade and growth mindset in each country except Australia. The mathematical ability of students in Indonesia and Philippines, which were the lowest average among other countries, was strongly influenced by grade, growth mindset, and the interaction between them. Significant interaction between students’ grade and growth mindset in affecting students’ mathematical ability also found in Thailand and Malaysia. However, Singapore and Australia, which had average scores higher than those of the OECD, tended to have small to no effect on students' mathematical ability.

Diabetes half-shot (Dhs) and Thirst Excessive half shot (TEhs) are liquid herbal formulations used in Rivers State and some part of Nigeria by some traditional medicine for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. This study aimed at evaluating the phytochemical constituents and anti-diabetic potential of the herbal formulations in alloxan induced diabetic rats. The up and down OECD protocol was employed for assessing acute toxicity. Hyperglycemia was induced intraperitoneally with 150 mg/kg of alloxan and treated with 0.5 and 1.0 ml of Dhs and TEhs respectively for the period of 21 days. The fasting blood glucose levels, serum lipid parameters were recorded on day 3, 7, 14 and 21 respectively. Qualitative phytochemical analysis was carried out on the formulations using standard prescribed methods. Whereas at a dose of 3 ml per rat no visible sign of toxicity was observed, at a much higher dose of 9 ml per rat, mortality was recorded and when step down to a dose of 6 ml per rat no visible sign of toxicity was observed. After day 3, a quick onset hypoglyceamic effect with a decrease in the fasting blood glucose levels of 57.89 and 95.23% were observed for the 0.5 and 1.0 ml per rat doses respectively which fluctuated on day 7 and 14 but later stabilized to > 76.56 % reduction on the day 21. A similar trend was also observed for the TEhs. However, a 100 % mortality was recorded after day 3 for the 1.0 ml higher dose which could be associated with sub-chronic toxicity. Both Dhs and TEHs showed the presence of carbohydrates, triterpenoids and protein. These results demonstrate significant antidiabetic potential of the two herbal formulations justifying the use of these herbals in the indigenous system of medicine. Further studies for investigating the specific compound(s) responsible for such beneficial role in diabetes, pre-clinical and clinical activities.

Infertility in Endometriosis: Understanding Its origins, diagnostic challenges and treatment complexities
Authors: Sholen Acharya  , Deepak Rath
Published: February 2025

Endometriosis, a complex chronic inflammatory condition, presents significant challenges in understanding its origins, diagnosing its manifestations, and managing its impact on fertility. This comprehensive review explores the intricate relationship between endometriosis and infertility, addressing theories on its pathogenesis, mechanisms affecting fertility, diagnostic modalities, and treatment complexities. Pathogenesis theories, including Sampson’s theory and the stem cell theory, shed light on the genetic predisposition and mechanisms underlying endometriosis development. Endometriosis impacts fertility through various mechanisms, including anatomical distortion, steroid imbalance, and disrupted immunological environments. Diagnosis remains challenging, with laparoscopy as the gold standard and imaging modalities like transvaginal sonography and MRI serving as adjuncts. Treatment strategies involve a personalized approach based on disease classification, patient characteristics, and preferences, with options ranging from surgery to in-vitro fertilization (IVF). The choice between surgery and IVF remains debatable, with ongoing trials seeking to provide clarity. IVF protocols and transfer types pose additional complexities, with emerging adjuvants offering potential benefits. Concurrent adenomyosis further complicates IVF outcomes, emphasizing the need for specialized management strategies. Ongoing research initiatives hold promise for refining treatment pathways and improving clinical outcomes in this challenging clinical scenario.
Pros and cons of the political ideals and systems of Cameroon
Authors: TITAGWAN MAH ANASTASIA
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the political system of Cameroon, exploring its evolution from colonial rule to its present-day governance under the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) and the leadership of President Paul Biya. The study highlights both the advantages and disadvantages of the country’s political structure, with a focus on stability, traditional governance, and democratic elements. On the one hand, Cameroon has maintained political stability and long-term continuity under Biya, which has contributed to infrastructural development and regional diplomacy. Additionally, traditional governance systems, such as the influence of local chiefs, offer cultural continuity and community-based decision-making. However, the paper also critiques the centralization of power in the presidency, which limits political pluralism, weakens regional autonomy, and perpetuates a lack of political competition. Furthermore, systemic corruption and regional inequalities are significant challenges that hinder equitable development and social cohesion. The paper concludes that while Cameroon has a unique blend of modern and traditional governance, reforming its political system to decentralize power, combat corruption, and foster greater political pluralism is essential for creating a more inclusive and dynamic political environment. These findings hold implications for the potential evolution of governance systems in other African nations with similar challenges.
