Navigating the Functions of Emerging Neologisms: A Sociolinguistic Study
Authors: De Leon Kirck Michael B.
Published: July 2024

This research explores the functions of neologisms within the context of Generation Z, focusing particularly on Senior High School Students in the Philippines. Employing a sociolinguistic lens and a phenomenological approach, the study conducted a small-scale qualitative investigation at Gregorio T. Crespo Memorial High School in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija. Through convenience sampling and a qualitative survey, data was collected and analysed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis approach. Findings revealed commonly used neologisms such as “char/charot,” “sana all,” and “dasurv,” serving various functions including facilitating easy communication, keeping up with trends, emotional expression, and humor. These functions reflect societal inclinations towards brevity, trend-following, and emotional expression, enriching language’s descriptive capabilities and shaping interpersonal dynamics. The study underscores the importance of neologisms in contemporary communication, suggesting further exploration through longitudinal analyses and investigations into cultural and demographic factors, with implications for language learning and education.

Published: July 2024

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a major contributor to death, morbidity, diminished quality of life, and growing healthcare expenditures. To protect patient health, it is crucial to reduce the risk of HAI by organising and putting into practice efficient preventative measures. The most important method of infection prevention generally agreed upon is hand cleanliness. Washing your hands can keep you healthy and stop the transmission of many respiratory and diarrheal illnesses. On any given day, 1 in 31 hospital patients develops an HAI while being treated. Hand hygiene is the simplest and effective method for the prevention of these. This study aimed to assess the hand-hygiene compliance among health care workers at GMC Anantnag and associated hospitals. A cross-sectional observational study was carried out among HCWs and 313 opportunities were observed using WHO tool for hand hygiene according to WHO “5 moments of hand hygiene.” The sampling technique adopted for selection of sample was non-probability convenience sampling. Out of total 244 opportunities of nurses, 181 (74%) had non-hand hygienic actions while 63 (26%) had hand hygienic actions. Out of total 59 opportunities of doctors, 29 (49%) had non-hand hygienic actions while 30 (51%) had hand hygienic actions. Out of total 10 opportunities of nursing aides, 9 (90%) had non-hand hygienic actions while 1 (10%) had hygienic actions. The overall hand hygienic observed among health care workers as per WHO Guidelines was 30 percent only. Nurses had an adherence rate of 26 percent, doctors 51 percent and nursing aids had 10 percent only. The present study showed low levels of adherence to best hygiene practices with overall compliance of 30 percent revealing that there is need to implement immediate strategies for infection control at GMC Anantnag and associated hospital.
A Study on Cruelty Faced by Silkworms in the Production of Silk
Authors: R. Mughilan  , Arun Kumar R
Published: July 2024

Silk is the fiber that silkworms weave to make their cocoons which are the outer casings that protect them during the pupal stage. But most of the insects used by the silk industry don’t live past this stage, because they are boiled or gassed alive inside their cocoons, which causes the cocoons to begin unraveling so that workers can obtain the silk threads. Some 6,600 silkworms are killed to make just 1 kilogram of silk. The CSB (Amendment) Act, Rules and Regulations have been notified by the Govt. of India to bring quality standards in silkworm seed production. The objective of the research is to create awareness on the cruelty faced by silkworms in the production of silk. The research method used is empirical research and simple random sampling method is used and the sample size is 200 responses and the sample frame is in and around Valluvar kottam. The independent variables are age, gender, education qualifications, occupation and locality. The alternative to this cruel practice is to use another method of obtaining silk called ahimsa silk or wild silk, it is a method of nonviolent silk breeding and harvesting. Wild silk moths are bred, rather than the domestic variety. Roughly 3,000 silkworms are killed to make a single pound of silk. That means that billions, if not trillions, of them are killed for this every year. In order to avoid this practice of killing silkworms we should use an alternative type of fabric or use wild silk
Stability Analysis of Gravity Dam using Matlab Programming
Authors: Mr. Shaikh Mohamadamear Sameer  , Prof. J. M. Chavan
Published: July 2024

Gravity dams are critical structures in civil engineering, designed to withstand the immense forces exerted by water pressure and gravity. Ensuring their stability is paramount to prevent catastrophic failures that could result in significant economic and environmental consequences. This study presents a comprehensive stability analysis of a gravity dam using MATLAB programming.
The analysis focuses on evaluating the structural integrity and safety factors of the dam under various loading conditions, including hydrostatic pressure and seismic forces. MATLAB's computational capabilities are utilized to perform rigorous numerical simulations, incorporating finite element analysis (FEA) and stability criteria assessments.
Key aspects of the stability analysis include the determination of critical failure modes such as sliding, overturning, and base pressure distribution. Through MATLAB programming, the study explores different dam geometries and material properties to assess their influence on overall stability.
Furthermore, sensitivity analyses are conducted to investigate the impact of uncertainties in input parameters on the dam's stability margins. This provides insights into potential weak points and allows for optimization of design parameters to enhance dam safety.

Job performance is essential for growth, especially in the service sector like hospitals. Apart from other factors, the leadership style affects job performance and other organizational-related outcomes. The literature documents that hospital employees’ job performance has declined. Thus, we have focused on nurses and other healthcare staff, excluding doctors in the healthcare industry. The study’s sample size was 582. The study supports all five hypotheses. We found that “servant leadership and trust positively affect job performance.” Servant leadership positively affects trust. The study also documents that “trust mediates servant leadership and job performance.” At the same time, our results also suggest that “power distance” moderates servant leadership and trust relationship. Based on the direct and indirect effects of servant leadership and job performance, we suggest organizations hire servant leaders. The organizations mustalso regularly conduct counseling sessions for their leaders to focus on the employee’s development and wellbeing. Such attitudes positively enhance job performance and increase employees’ trust. Consequently, employees reciprocate by developing loyalty with the organizations and the leaders.

ABSTRACT
Sculpture art is a work of art that serves as a cultural object by emphasising the activities of local communities. Various media and techniques are used to create three-dimensional sculptural art. The sculptor processes it by writing and implying a message about the local culture. This study will demonstrate that the "Warisan" sculpture has an inferred message or cultural significance to the Sabah people. In this study, iconography theory is utilised to extract cultural icons from the design and meaning of Chee Sing Teck's sculptures. Three steps of viewing the "Warisan" sculpture using this iconographic approach. The first level is the fundamental level, which covers element processing and design principles. The second step investigates how the components and design concepts are integrated to create pottery icons, motifs, or images, traditional clothing accessories, and motifs on traditional clothing patterns in Sabah. Finally, the third level is the internal level, which combines the first and second levels' studies to create an internal meaning that conveys a message about the activities of the Sabah community. The iconographic research of Chee Sing Teck's sculpture "Warisan" revealed that it serves as a cultural symbol for Sabah's traditional community.

A STUDY OF FEMALE IMMORTAL IMAGES IN THE "CHAOYUAN XIANZHANG TU"（朝元仙仗图) FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE MYTHIC-ARCHETYPAL CRITICISM
Authors: Lang Qianwen  , Lilian Lee Shiau Gee
Published: July 2024

This paper intends to apply the mythic-archetypal critique to study the concept archetypes of human collectives and the archetypes in Taoist literature and mythology corresponding the feminine immortal images in the "Chaoyuan Xianzhang Tu." By means of image and word juxtaposition, the study investigates the emotional impacts of female immortal images on modern audiences as well as their contribution to current feminist movements. Aiming to clarify the several metaphors and underlying logic of the development of Taoist female immortal images as a symbolic system, this study analyses the Song Dynasty Taoist painting "Chaoyuan Xianzhang Tu," based on the mythic-archetypal criticism, attempting to visually reproduce mythological archetype images in the portrayal of characters in the image. The study examines the various metaphors in Taoist imagery related to the mythic-archetypal perspective, forming three hierarchical functions: "Great Mother Goddess- The Queen Mother of the West  (王母) - Flowers and Fruits," "Anima-Female Immortal Worship-Female Immortal Head Portrayal," and "Eternal Life-Feathered Being-feathered sleeves," all of which allude to the ideological implications of Taoist female immortal worship. Frequently, the symbolic, artistic, and meaningful aspects of Taoist art surpass the literal intent of the surface. The "myth-archetype" theory can be used to interpret these images, thereby guiding contemporary viewers to obtain insights into themselves through Taoist visual arts and providing a potential solution to death anxiety. Additionally, the interpretation of female immortal images offers a novel possibility: the integration of yin and yang, which eliminates traditional male dominance and the concomitant "one-sided, self-centered" feminism. This perspective is applicable to the development of contemporary feminist theory.

Authors: BILCHER BALA  , BASZLEY BEE BIN BASRAH BEE  , ZAINUDDIN BACO
Published: July 2024

Dari sudut sejarah awal, kumpulan masyarakat Melayu Brunei merupakan pengasas jenis petempatan kampung air di Sabah. Pada tahun 1970-an, kampung air menjadi satu fenomena petempatan dalam kalangan masyarakat peribumi dan imigran di Sabah. Kesannya telah menyebabkan wujud dua pola petempatan kampung air; iaitu di sekitar bandar dan di luar bandar. Kampung air di luar bandar masih mengekalkan warisan penduduk asal. Kampung air di sekitar bandar menjadi petempatan bagi campuran pelbagai kaum peribumi dan imigran, dan dengan sifat setinggan. Populasi penduduk kaum peribumi di kampung air mula merosot pada awal dekad 1990-an disebabkan faktor pembangunan wilayah dan faktor perpindahan. Pertambahan pesat rumah di kampung air telah menimbulkan berbagai-bagai masalah sosial dan alam persekitaran. Hal ini telah menjadikan kampung air umumnya satu petempatan masyarakat terpinggir. Bahkan, ia menimbulkan tanggapan serong daripada masyarakat luar terhadap cara dan taraf hidup di kampung air. Artikel ini menjelaskan status kampung air sebagai satu warisan bangsa dan budaya yang menghadapi cabaran arus pembangunan.
 
From the early point of history, Brunei Malays are the founders of water village settlement in Sabah. In the 1970s, water village became a settlement phenomenon among indigenous and imigrants in Sabah. As a result, there are two patterns of water village settlements; around the city, and in the rural areas. The water village in rural areas still retains the heritage of the original inhabitants. The water village around the city become settlements for a mixture of indigenous and immigrants, and with squalid characteristics. The indigenous population in water village began to decline in the early 1990s due to regional development factors and displacement factors. The rapid increase of houses in water village has led to various social and environmental problems. This has made water village a common disordered community. It even creates a bogus response from outside society on the way and the standard of living in water village. This article describes the status of water village as a heritage of the nation and the culture that faces the challenge of development

Published: July 2024

This study examines the relationship of exchange rate and gold price in Malaysia. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach shows that there is long-run relationship between exchange rate and its determinants, includes gold price. An increase in gold price will lead to a depreciation of the US dollar. There is a negative relationship between exchange rate and gold price. Gold price is found to have a significant impact on exchange rate in the short run. The generalized forecast error variance decompositions demonstrate that changes of gold price influence the forecast error variance of changes of exchange rate. There is a link between the gold market and the exchange rate market.

Published: July 2024

In recent years, intercultural communicative competence (ICC) has become one of the goals of English language teaching in several countries in view of its emphasis on developing learners’ ability to communicate with people from various cultural backgrounds. In Malaysia, the implementation of CEFR-aligned curriculum has brought about the introduction of imported textbooks. Delving into the primary ESL classroom context, this study aimed to investigate the components of ICC in Get Smart Plus 4 and explore activities that contribute to learners’ ICC development. A content analysis was carried out to analyse the content of the textbook based on the listed components of intercultural competence. The findings revealed that Get Smart Plus 4 contained activities that contribute to the development of learners’ intercultural knowledge, attitudes, and skills. This study suggests that utilising the content in the imported textbooks is beneficial in promoting learners’ ICC in the primary ESL classroom.

Authors: NURUL ZULAIKHA ALIAS  , SITI SORAYA LIN ABDULLAH KAMAL
Published: July 2024

Abstract  Parental involvement (PI) is crucial for children's educational success, particularly in learning English as a Second Language (ESL). In Malaysia, PI in their children’s ESL learning could be insufficient, with parents potentially not providing adequate support for their children's education. Socioeconomic disparities may also impact the level and nature of parental engagement in children's education This qualitative study explores factors influencing parental involvement in ESL learning among low-income (B40) and high-income (T20) families in Malaysia. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 parents of children attending Malaysian primary public schools, with 6 parents from each income group, selected through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the findings, focusing on motivational beliefs, perceptions of invitations, and life contexts as influencing factors. Despite facing financial constraints and time limitations, B40 parents demonstrated resourcefulness and dedication, while T20 parents had more opportunities to support their children. The study underscores the importance of enhancing communication, implementing targeted support programs, and fostering a more inclusive school environment to empower all parents as active partners in their children's ESL learning journey.

Current knowledge and approaches in peripheral intravenous catheter practice
Authors: Korkmaz Emine
Published: July 2024

Peripheral intravenous catheterization is one of the most common invasive nursing interventions applied to hospitalized patients. This intervention, which is of great importance for the effective implementation of treatment, is performed using a peripheral intravenous catheter. In peripheral intravenous catheter applications, local and systemic complications may occur due to application errors and care deficiencies. These complications cause patients to be exposed to unnecessary diagnostic procedures and treatment, prolonged hospitalization, and increased mortality and morbidity rates. In this context, it is very important for healthcare professionals, especially nurses, to integrate the data obtained from current research and guidelines on peripheral intravenous catheter applications into their practices. In this review, the points to be considered in peripheral intravenous catheter applications and the basic principles of catheter intervention are summarized with the current literature.

Sobre o sofrimento e a dororidade: uma abordagem comparativa dos conceitos em Bataille e Piedade
Authors: Ourique Julia
Published: July 2024

O estudo das complexidades humanas tem sido uma busca constante ao longo da história, abordando temas como a experiência do sofrimento e as dinâmicas relacionais entre os indivíduos. Nesse contexto, dois pensadores se destacam por suas contribuições significativas: Georges Bataille, filósofo e escritor francês, e Vilma Piedade, filósofa brasileira. Ambos exploraram o conceito de sofrimento em suas obras, mas com abordagens distintas. Enquanto Bataille enfatiza a dimensão existencial do sofrimento, Piedade desenvolve o conceito de Dororidade para compreender as relações de dor e solidariedade entre as mulheres negras. Neste artigo, exploramos essas perspectivas, destacando as semelhanças e diferenças entre os dois conceitos e sua relevância para a compreensão da condição humana.

Voicing Religious Tolerance Through Qur'anic Interpretation: An Analysis of Kim Knott’s Thought
Authors: Kusnadi  , Zulfikar Eko
Published: July 2024

This article aims to explore the concept of religious tolerance through the interpretation of the Qur'an by analyzing Kim Knott's thoughts about insider/outsider. This is motivated by a social fact that is being polemic and viral regarding the request of one Christian to the Indonesian Ministry of Religion to reform the interpretation of the Qur'an. By using qualitative methods and content analysis techniques as well as Kim Knott's insider/outsider perspective approach, this article concludes that the insider/outsider perspective on the open letter of Christians sent to the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs to reform the interpretation of the Qur’an, is seen as dividing religious communities in Indonesia. Although it received support from the majority of Christians (outsiders) and claimed that its request to the Ministry of Religious Affairs specifically to revise the interpretation of QS. al-A’raf [7]: 157 is an act of tolerance, in fact what he did was an act of intolerance that could damage harmony between Muslims and Christians. In the insider's perspective, the request is seen as too interfering with Islamic teachings and ignoring one of the indicators of religious moderation promoted by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs, namely tolerance. Some posts uploaded related to the request to reform the interpretation of the Qur’an on social media have indirectly become an embryo of intolerance of interfaith harmony, especially between Muslims and Christians.

This research aims to analyze and determine the role of social media in influencing religious doctrinal, ritual experiences, and socio-religious interactions among students at SMA Negeri 1 Cibitung. Qualitative with a phenomenological approach is the type researchers apply and use for this research, the data sources used are primary and secondary data. The data techniques collection used are depth interviews, and FGD (Focus Group Discussion). The research results show that social media helps students think about religion, increase their level of religiosity, obey religious commandments, and remember God more often. In addition, online communities on social media play an important role in supporting religiosity through interaction, discussion, and moral and emotional support. Although there is a small percentage of students who feel confused about certain religious concepts, the majority feel helped by the content they consume on social media. This research provides new contributions in understanding how social media can be used as an effective tool to support religious education and practice among the zillennial generation.

Published: July 2024

Green hydrogen production, achieved through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources, represents a promising pathway towards sustainable energy systems. However, optimizing the electrolysis process to enhance efficiency and reduce costs remains a significant challenge. This study explores the application of machine learning (ML) techniques to develop AI-driven models that optimize the electrolysis process, thereby improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of green hydrogen production. Machine learning models can analyze complex datasets generated during the electrolysis process, including variables such as electricity input, water quality, temperature, pressure, and electrochemical properties. By identifying patterns and relationships within these datasets, ML algorithms can predict optimal operational conditions and provide real-time adjustments to maximize hydrogen output while minimizing energy consumption. The research focuses on the development and validation of various ML models, including regression analysis, neural networks, and reinforcement learning, to enhance the performance of the electrolysis process. These models are trained on historical data from industrial-scale electrolysis operations and laboratory experiments, ensuring robustness and reliability. Feature selection and engineering techniques are employed to isolate the most significant factors influencing efficiency and cost. Key findings demonstrate that AI-driven optimization can significantly improve the energy efficiency of hydrogen production, with potential energy savings of up to 20%. Additionally, predictive maintenance algorithms developed through machine learning can anticipate equipment failures and schedule timely maintenance, further reducing operational costs and downtime. The study also explores the integration of machine learning models with renewable energy management systems, enabling dynamic adjustments based on the availability of renewable power sources such as solar and wind. This integration ensures that the electrolysis process operates during periods of peak renewable energy generation, thereby maximizing the use of green electricity and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Application of machine learning to green hydrogen production offers a transformative approach to optimizing the electrolysis process. AI-driven models enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources, supporting the broader transition to a sustainable energy future. This research advocates for continued exploration and implementation of advanced machine-learning techniques to drive innovation in green hydrogen production.

THE ONTOLOGY OF NETWORK WARFARE:
THE ESSENCE AND CONSEQUENCES
Authors: BANKOVSKAYA Yulia
Published: July 2024

The constitution of a new space for the functioning of social reality due to the impact of information and communication technologies on all spheres of human activity contributed to the transformation of traditional military operations, which resulted in the spread of network wars. The networking and digitalization of society has led to a change in human existence. Cognitive, informational, social, and psychological aspects of network processes form a new picture of the world, creating conditions for changing people's mentality and behavior. Therefore, the identification of the ontological foundations of network warfare is of particular importance. The disclosure of its essence is a prerequisite for the development of measures to preserve the security of the statedevelopment. The transformation of the mechanism of datainformational impact on the consciousness and meaning of both an individual and large social groups has led to a change in the civic position of the individual, expanding the possibilities for manipulating public opinion. The formation of new network structures and the spread of cyberterrorism are modifying the world order. Network wars have become an integral phenomenon of the modern realityexistence. Their attribute, which determines the specifics of the conflict unfolding, is the destructive use of information. Information disseminated on the Internet forms social content. Thus, new conditions are being created for the aggravation of contradictions, including the world community in the zone of confrontation, manipulating the behavior of its representatives, creating opportunities for non-contact warfare.
