Published: May 2024

Latar Belakang: Perkembangan bisnis yang tiada henti membuat perusahaan melakukan berbagai cara untuk meningkatkan nilai perusahaan dan terciptalah persaingan bisnis tanpa disadari yang mengakibatkan pencemaran lingkungan atas aktivitas operasional yang dilakukan sehingga perusahaan mulai memperhatikan dampak aktivitas operasional terhadap lingkungan demi mempertahankan kelangsungan usaha.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah akuntansi hijau, pengungkapan emisi karbon, dan kinerja lingkungan berpengaruh positif terhadap nilai perusahaan.Metode Penelitian: penelitian menggunakan data sekunder yang diperoleh dari laporan tahunan dan laporan keberlanjutan perusahaan periode 2018-2022. Perusahaan dengan sektor manufaktur, pertanian, dan energi yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) pada tahun 2018-2022 menjadi kriteria data penelitian ini. Pengolahan data menggunakan Statistical Package For Social Science (SPSS)Hasil Penelitian: Hasil penelitian ini adalah akuntansi hijau tidak berpengaruh terhadap nilai perusahaan, pengungkapan emisi karbon tidak berpengaruh terhadap nilai perusahaan dan kinerja lingkungan berpengaruh positif terhadap nilai perusahaan.Keterbatasan Penelitian: Tidak berpengaruhnya akuntansi hijau dan pengungkapan emisi karbon terhadap nilai perusahaan dimungkinkan karena proxy yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini masih belum bisa mempresentasikan proxy yang sebenarnya dari akuntansi hijau dan pengungkapan emisi karbon. Penelitian selanjutnya dapat menggunakan proxy lainnya untuk mengukur akuntansi hijau dan pengungkapan emisi karbon.Keaslian/Kebaruan Penelitian: Motivasi penelitian ini berasal dari maraknya pencemaran lingkungan di Indonesia sebagai dampak dari aktivitas operasional perusahaan dan masih banyak perusahaan yang belum sepenuhnya melakukan akuntansi hijau serta pengungkapan emisi karbon.
Socio-Economic Disparities in Latin America among Same-Sex and Different-Sex Couples
Authors: Muñoz Ercio , Sansone Dario , Ysique Neciosup Mayte
Published: May 2024

Economic research on sexual minority individuals in developing countries has been constrained by the scarcity of nationally representative surveys asking about sexual orientation. This paper merges and harmonizes census data from eight Latin American countries to document socio-economic disparities between different-sex and same-sex couples. Overall, although there are some exceptions, individuals in same-sex couples are on average younger than women and men in different-sex couples, are less likely to identify as Indigenous (while differentials for African descendants vary by country), have higher education levels, and are less likely to live with children. Gaps in unemployment rates by couple type and sex differ by country. Both women and men in same-sex couples have higher average incomes in Brazil. The same holds for women in Mexico, while men in same-sex couples have lower average incomes. Finally, homeownership rates are lower among same-sex couples, while welfare differentials as proxied by ownership of assets and dwelling characteristics vary by country.
The Impact of Social Media and Browsing the Internet on English Learning in Higher Education, Setting At Lhokseumawe State Polytechnic
Authors: Amri Mustika , Nazar M. , Suip Muhammad , Abidin Zainal
Published: May 2024

Cell phones have become an indispensable communication tool across the globe. With the technological advancements, cell phones have undergone a significant transformation from being stationary or boot telephones that required cables to hand-held devices that can be carried anywhere without cables. Today, smartphones have become increasingly sophisticated and offer features like cameras, internet access, email, and other applications that support human activities. Public places like airports, terminals, restaurants, or campus canteens are now equipped with WIFI or hotspots, making it easier for individuals to use the internet while enjoying food. However, the use of smartphones on campus is considered disruptive to the student education process. As a result, many higher education institutions prohibit the use of smartphones on their premises. In a recent research study, the authors examined the impact and effects of internet activities, such as browsing and social media usage, on improving students' abilities, particularly in English. The study involved 80 students who completed a 30-question questionnaire. The data analysis revealed that almost all the students were active internet users, with 74 of them using smartphones for both browsing and social media. Only six students did not use smartphones for social media, indicating that Lhokseumawe State Polytechnic students rely heavily on the internet for their academic and personal needs. Out of the total respondents, 21 students spend 20 to 30 minutes a day on social media, accounting for 26.3 percent of the total. 19 students used smartphones for social media for about 2 to 4 hours. Surprisingly, 11 students were willing to spend more than 5 hours a day on social media. The findings reveal that most students at Lhokseumawe State Polytechnic are more inclined towards social media rather than browsing the internet. The t-test and F-test showed a significant correlation between browsing and social media usage with English achievement among students of Lhokseumawe State Polytechnic. It indicates that using the internet for browsing and social media has a positive impact on academic performance, particularly in English.

Hospitality and anti-tourist attitudes through the host-guest relationship in the Westworld science fiction series
Authors: Ramón Cardona José , Sánchez Fernández María Dolores , Soares Jakson Renner Rodrigues
Published: May 2024

Westworld is a science fiction series that proposes a theme park of the future where ‘guests’ can live a Wild West experience without restrictions or reprisals, thanks to reallooking android ‘hosts’ who grant all their wishes. Due to the topic covered, this science fiction series allows its use as a common thread for an article that considers the concept of hospitality, the host-guest relationship and its consequence for the management of tourist destinations. This is achieved through an exegesis of Westworld and an analysis of academic bibliography. First, different concepts of hospitality and what they imply for the host-guest relationship are identified. Subsequently, how different theoretical developments on the resident-tourist relationship are proposed entailing different interpretations and reactions to the same objective reality. In conclusion, it should be noted that when tourism is perceived as subordinating the host to the wishes of the guest (as in Westworld), the appearance of anti-tourism attitudes among residents is only a matter of time, generating conflicts. Furthermore, the importance of dominant interpretive theories in determining the reaction of the local population to events that occur should be highlighted.

Authors: Rosli Siti Hajar Binti
Published: May 2024

This article examines push and pull factors for Japanese retirees in Thailand as part of international retirement migration (IRM). Additionally, it studies levels of social integration, subjective wellbeing, life satisfaction, cultural assimilation and factors that hinder it. It examines the moderating and mediating effect of the relationship between independent and dependent variables. A quantitative method using a questionnaire was used and found that economic, health and social factors are significant in influencing retirees’ push and pull motivations. As for social integration, subjective well-being, life satisfaction and cultural assimilation, there is positive feedback from retirees. Factors that hinder cultural assimilation are language barriers and cultural differences. The results show a positive and strong association between language acquisition and social integration, between social integration and cultural assimilation, and between attitudes and cultural assimilation. There is a moderating effect between language acquisition and cultural assimilation. The results also show that there is no mediating effect for local support on the relationship between attitudes and social integration.

Tematyce języka, czasu i przestrzeni poświęcono w literaturze polskiej i światowej bardzo dużo uwagi, zwłaszcza w ujęciu interdyscyplinarnym. Prace zebrane w niniejszym tomie wskazują na różne, nierzadko bardzo metaforyczne, sposoby pojmowania czasu i przestrzeni w szerokiej perspektywie lingwistycznej. Poszczególne rozdziały koncentrują się na wybranych aspektach użycia języka w przestrzeni internetowej i multimedialnej, na języku w przestrzeni miejskiej i państwowej. Kolejne teksty analizują język w różnych perspektywach czasowych, związanych z ewolucją języka i kontaktami międzyjęzykowymi, a także badają relacje zachodzące pomiędzy językiem a pamięcią, przedstawiają uwarunkowania zmian językowych w procesie afazji, przyglądają się przestrzeni teoretycznej, w której uprawiane jest językoznawstwo, oraz proponują rozważania o charakterze ogólnohumanistycznym.
Autorzy koncentrują się na badaniach poszczególnych interesujących zjawisk i jednostkowych przypadków, a rozważania teoretyczno-metodologiczne splatają się z analizami zagadnień bardziej praktycznych. W niektórych tekstach pojawia się nawiązanie do aktualnych wydarzeń i ograniczeń, ale także nowych możliwości spowodowanych pandemią.
Język a emocje w komunikacji internetowej (na przykładzie komentarzy w serwisie YouTube)
Authors: Burska Katarzyna
Published: May 2024

Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie językowych i parajęzykowych sposobów ekspresji w przekazach internetowych na przykładzie komentarzy umieszczanych przez użytkowników serwisu YouTube pod piosenką Co mi, Panie, dasz w aranżacji Adama Sztaby powstałej w czasie izolacji spowodowanej pandemią koronawirusa. Internauci podkreślają wielość przeżyć towarzyszących im podczas odtwarzania tej piosenki, eksponując odczucia pozytywne: dumę, wzruszenie, podziw, szacunek, wdzięczność, zdziwienie. Na plan pierwszy wysuwają się wartości odczuciowe i estetyczne. Do wyrażenia wartościowania in plus w komentarzach wykorzystywane są zabiegi na poziomie leksykalnym, słowotwórczym, graficznym, a także tropy stylistyczne. Służą one przede wszystkim hiperbolizacji.
Język w przestrzeni ekranu: przekładowe nieoczywiste oczywistości
Authors: Deckert Mikołaj
Published: May 2024

artykuł traktuje o dwojako rozumianym języku w przestrzeni ekranu. Po pierwsze chodzi dosłownie o występowanie języka w formie wizualnej, jako tekstu odczytywanego przez odbiorcę za pośrednictwem ekranu. Drugie rozumienie jest szersze – chodzi bowiem o reprezentowanie języka „na ekranie” w sposób bardziej prototypowy, tj. dźwiękowo, jako wypowiedzi obecne w dziele audiowizualnym. Punktem wyjścia do rozważań przedstawionych w artykule jest wyodrębnienie w procesie podejmowania decyzji tłumaczeniowych dwóch uogólnionych faz. Pierwsza z nich polega na zidentyfikowaniu problemu, który będzie przedmiotem decyzji. W fazie drugiej decyzja wobec zidentyfikowanego problemu jest podejmowana. Taka uproszczona formuła służy zgłębieniu tezy, że w przekładzie interlingwalnym – w tym przypadku dodatkowo multimodalnym – zadanie wyboru wariantu przekładowego może być stosunkowo łatwe w zestawieniu z samym uświadomieniem sobie, że istnieje element potencjalnie stanowiący przedmiot procesu decyzyjnego.
Characterization and Evaluation of the Antibacterial and Dye-degrading Potential of Silver Nanoparticles from Ayapana triplinervis Vahl
Authors: Dev Sona S. , Santhosh Chikku , James Greeshma
Published: May 2024

Background: Over the last decades, silver has been engineered into nanoparticles that attracted much attention and found applications in diverse areas. The small size of the nanoparticles has maximized the total surface area leading to increased activity-to-weight ratio. The present study aims to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from the methanolic leaf extract of a medicinal plant Ayapana triplinervis Vahl. and assess their antibacterial and dye-degrading properties. Methods: The AgNPs produced were characterized by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, TEM and SEM. The dye degradation property of these AgNPs was also evaluated. Result: UV-Vis spectroscopy of prepared silver colloidal solution showed an absorption maximum at 410 nm. The FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of different functional groups which were responsible for the reduction and stabilization of silver ions. The SEM analysis revealed that AgNPs are clustered and exhibit both cubical and spherical shape. TEM analysis helped to investigate the effect of capping agent and precursor concentration on the size and shape of the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles synthesized also exhibit antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella sp. Catalytic degradation of dyes by these silver nanoparticles in the presence of sunlight was in the order Methyl Red (MR) greater than Eosin greater than Methylene Blue (MB).

Seed Viability Studies in Nepenthes khasiana Hook. F.: Comparison of in Vivo and in Vitro Seed Germination
Authors: Mao A. A. , Ranyaphi R. A.
Published: May 2024

Studies on the seed viability of Nepenthes khasiana H00k.f. was conducted. Seeds were collected from different natural habitats and stored both at low temperature (5Â°C) and at ambient room temperature (25 Â± 2 Â°C ) . Seed viability study was carried out by germinating seeds both in vivo and in vitro. For in vivo study seeds were sown on a leaf mold-based mixture in Petri dishes, whereasr in vito, the seeds were inoculated onto half-strength Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium. Within 2 week of culture over 50% of seeds germinated in vitro, whereas in vivo seed germination reached 50% after 8 week. Light and dark conditions were also used to test their effect on gemination. Addition of Gibberelic acid did not show any effect on the gemination of seeds. The study has shown high seed viability as shown from the high rate of gemination, both in vivo and in vitro. For optimum seed germination, high humidity (80 - 90%) and a warm temperature of around 25Â°C-30Â°C are essential. The study has also shown that seeds stored at ambient room temperature condition lose its viability rapidly within a year but seeds stored at low temperature (5Â°C) remain viable for over 5 years.

Contemporary U.S. Taiwan Policy: Balancing on the Edge
Authors: Leksyutina Y.
Published: May 2024

The article highlights and analyzes the changes brought by the Trump and Biden administrations to the U. S. Taiwan policy. The driving forces behind the introduced changes to this policy, according to the article, were the rise of China and the changing military balance in the Taiwan Strait, Beijing’s growing diplomatic, military and economic pressure on Taipei since 2016, Taiwan’s political transformation and the rise of a distinct Taiwanese identity, an overall escalation of tensions between China and Taiwan, as well as a reassessment of the American approach towards the PRC in favor of pursuing a containment policy. The author characterizes the U.S. activities in the Taiwan issue under the Trump and Biden administrations as “salami” tactics – taking small, non-military or quasi-military steps, each of which remains below the threshold of military response on the part of China, but ultimately brings to the desired goal – to increase the overall level of support of Taiwan and its defense capabilities in the event of the PRC’s military operation. Among such small steps by Washington, in particular, there are the public reference of to the 1982 Six Assurances as one of the pillars of the “One China” policy (in addition to the Taiwan Relations Act and the three U.S.–China communiqués), increasing the intensity and the level of contacts between American officials and their Taiwanese counterparts, deepening military cooperation and especially increasing the number of American troops in Taiwan, creating multilateral platforms for interaction between Taiwan and a wide range of countries, involving American allies in ensuring security in the Taiwan Strait, etc. Each of these steps individually does not allow us to talk about significant changes in Washington’s approach to the Taiwan issue, but taken together they form a critical mass, indicating serious shifts in the American recognition of Taiwan’s role.
Francophonie: New Approaches of Emmanuel Macron
Authors: Strel'tsova Y.
Published: May 2024

The article examines the new approaches of French President Emmanuel Macron to the Francophonie policy. It concerns his strategy of “New Francophonie”, which involves a departure from the traditional policy of Francocentrism and the promotion of France’s interests towards greater influence and consideration of the diversity in the Francophone World, a multilateral dimension in relations with French-speaking states, especially Africa. The main directions of the “Strategy of the French language and multilingualism” proposed by Macron are outlined. Attention is paid to the Francophonie policy projects that are being successfully implemented during his presidency, the initiatives put forward at the last Francophonie summit in Tunisia in 2022, as well as to the problems of this policy. E. Macron’s new approaches, in contrast to the previous Francophonie policy, prioritize the multilateral dimension, taking into account the interests of all representatives of the Francophone World, establishing partnerships in education, economics and business, promoting digital culture in the French language, as well as restoring the prestige of France in the Francophone language space. Africa occupies a special place in Macron’s policy, which opposes colonial relations and ethnocentrism. Facing fierce competition and anti-French sentiment in France’s traditional spheres of influence, Macron is looking for new opportunities to expand his country’s presence in Africa, trying to develop political and economic cooperation, including with English-speaking African states. The main directions of the modern Francophonie policy in the coming years will be art, culture and language, considered as one whole, education and economics, “economic Francophonie”, expanding cooperation within the French-speaking space with the widespread use of digital and other new technologies. On the part of France, this implies an increase in funding and investment in projects related to education in French, especially higher education, and primarily on the African continent, strengthening the presence of the French language on the Internet and in international organizations, including within the European bloc of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF).
The Gulf Monarchies’ Vision of the Global Order Transformations and the Russian Place in It
Authors: Tyukaeva T.
Published: May 2024

With the processes of the global order transformations currently unfolding and new rising powers gaining influence in the international arena, the issue of possible contours of a new architecture of the world system is becoming more urgent. The three Gulf monarchies – Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar – in recent years have been re-evaluating their relations with world powers, re-establishing their international positioning, and strengthening their capabilities in active engagement in the process of a new world order shaping as their foreign policies and national interests have been increasingly stretching far beyond the Gulf and the MENA region. They have gained confidence in asserting and defending their interests and standing up to pressure, willing to seize the initiative in forming the regional security system and strongly participate in the shaping of the global world order, which they see as polycentric and “non-polar”. After the decade of intraregional confrontations and rivalries in the 2010s, they have come to realize that in order for their ambitious socioeconomic development strategies to succeed, they require a “stable and prosperous” Middle East based on cooperation between all the key regional players with none of them dominating but counterbalancing each other, while external actors are considered important partners for cooperation on the agenda set by the regional powers provided that they counterbalance each other’s influence and do not try to exert their dominance. The three Gulf monarchies see Russia as an influential center of power in the shaping polycentric world order as well as a partner with whom they need to coordinate to ensure stability in the region and cement their global influence in the world oil markets. The Ukrainian crisis has not had any negative effect on the monarchies’ approaches towards relations with Russia and even strengthened their conviction in the correctness of their regional and global policy course.
Foreign Trade Cooperation Between China and Siberian Regions
Authors: Sherin E.
Published: May 2024

The paper examines sectoral and geographical structure of China’s foreign trade cooperation with Russia in general and Siberian regions in particular. The history of foreign economic relations between Russia and China is revealed. The share and place of China in the structure of Russian commodity supplies have been determined. The geographical and commodity structure of China’s exports and imports, as well as the share and place of Russia in the country’s foreign trade turnover, have been identified. The role of Siberia in the structure of Russian-Chinese foreign trade cooperation and the dynamics of its share in recent years are shown. The share and value indicators of trade turnover and the main commodity groups of exports and imports of China and each Siberian region are calculated. More detailed attention is paid to the regions being leaders in the structure of Siberian-Chinese cooperation, in terms of both in export and import. The significance of foreign trade with China for the Siberian regions is determined. Issues of investment cooperation between Russia and China are touched upon, as well as the dynamics of the use of national currencies in foreign trade transactions between countries. The ways of commodity communication between China and Siberia are explained. The features and problem areas of their foreign trade cooperation are identified. Taking into account the intensified turn of Russia’s vector of cooperation to the east in 2022, several promising ways of interaction between China and Russia in general and the Siberia in particular have been proposed. Namely: increasing the depth of processing of Siberian exported raw materials, increasing non-raw material exports from Siberia, further modernizing the railway infrastructure of eastern Russia, an alternative route for transporting Siberian bulk cargo to the East Asian market through Kazakhstan, creating an international transport corridor through Mongolia, constructing new elements of railway infrastructure, including the border crossing, Russia’s third railway access to the Pacific Ocean, the development of interstate interaction at the level of small and medium-sized businesses.

This research examines the classification of country status in 2022 by applying ordinal logistic regression on various social indicators including education, health and economic. The urgency of the research is to know the country determine factors with specific factors in the form of research variables that can be useful for policy makers, unlike the existing classification which is only divided based on GDP per capita or HDI score only. By dividing 3 country status classes, namely not developed, developing and developed countries using the world bank classification baseline, the accuracy results were obtained at 72,5% but there were several variables that were not significant. After re-modelling, the accuracy was found increased to 76.4% with the odds ratio results for the minimum wage variable being 42,32 in the high class compared to the middle class and 11,66 for the middle class compared to the lower class, which means that the higher the minimum wage tends to be classify countries as developed countries. Another variable that has significance level is the birth rate with an odds ratio of 0,71 in the high and middle classes and 0.89 in the middle and lower classes comparison, which shows that this variable has a negative effect because the odds ratio is <1, which means that the higher the birth rate tends to make the country will be classified as a non-developed country.
