This study aims to explore Afghanistan through the lens of Neo-Classical Realism. In order to encapsulate the proper foreign policy accumulation there are various theories that suggests and depicts foreign policy behaviors of several states. A theory not only defines politics of emotions but it also predicts the behavior of a state in a certain particular time. In international relations there are several theories that are used as a lens in order to understand the behavior of a state, the foreign policy of a state and to predict the future behavior according to which international arena would behave. There are two major strands in international relations that are used for analysis, and they provide a different and opposing view whenever a state behavior is concerned. These two strands are realism and liberalism. Realism in a theory that explains the behavior of a state in international politics. It states that in international system there is a lack of a centralized political authority due to which the state interactions are not viewed in a particular manner. It also emphasizes that there is an anarchy prevailing international system which can be regulated and can be maneuvered to bring out some favorable results by a sovereign power. The theory emphasizes the role of a state in international system and the way national interests and power grabbing of each state paves a new way towards international. The philosophical ideas that are in the theory have a very long history but in international relations the theory emerged after World War Two. The followers of this theory claim that they offer the most accurate behavior of a state and the explanation that they provide is more accurate to understand the policy perception and prescription for various elements that destabilized the international affairs.

The Influence of Confucianism on the Self-Esteem of the Adolescents with Self-Destructive Behaviour: A Vietnamese Phenomenological Study
Authors: Giang Thien-Vu
Published: August 2024

Confucianism has a substantial impact on the Vietnamese family culture. Over many generations, Confucianism in the Vietnamese family has been distorted, affecting the behavior and mental health of family members. This paper presents the influence of Confucianism on the self-esteem of adolescents with self-destructive behavior. The study applied a phenomenological study approach in qualitative research to find out the essence of the adolescents’ self-destructive behavior and how it affected to the adolescents’ mental health. An in-depth examination of three typical cases was implemented to triangulate the data and obtain the trustworthiness. The findings showed that self-destructive behavior stemmed from the participants’ needs for being recognized and loved by parents that were not satisfied due to loose family attachment caused by their parents’ Confucian ideology. This reason led to consequences that the adolescents’ self-esteem appeared to be incomplete and that they tended to exhibit negative behaviors. As a result, the essence of self-destructive behavior is the consequence of prejudices about Confucian ideology in family education that still exists in Vietnamese family culture. These findings offer an essential reference source for counseling and mental health care services in supporting those with self-destructive behavior caused by family.

Повышение технико-экономических показателей выпускаемой продукции — актуальная задача современного строительства. В данной работе описаны три стадии, на которых изменяется состояние измельчаемого вещества во время ме- ханической активации в аппарате вихревого слоя. Установлено, что зависимость теплоты смачивания системы кварц — вода после обработки кварца в аппарате вихревого слоя от массы навески кварца линейна и что эта теплота растет с увеличением количества энергии, подведенной в ходе механоактивации кварца. Разработана технологическая схема производства бетонной смеси с участком механоактивации. Определены режимы работы аппарата вихревого слоя при различных частоте вращения и индукции магнитного поля, влияющие на марочную прочность получаемых конструкционных колонн.

Increasing the technical and economic indicators of manufactured products is an urgent task of modern construction. In this work, 3 stages of the state of the surface of the crushed substance during mechanical activation in the vortex layer apparatus are identified. It was revealed that the heat of wetting of the “crystalline quartz-water” system obtained after processing in a vortex layer apparatus is linear and depends on the amount of energy supplied during the mechanical activation of quartz: with an increase in the amount of supplied energy, the heat of wetting of the recorded system increases proportionally. A technological scheme for the production of concrete mixture with a mechanical activation section has been developed. The operating modes of the vortex layer apparatus at different rotation frequencies and magnetic field induction, which affect the grade strength of the resulting structural columns, have been determined.

Authors: Huijing Tang
Published: August 2024

In sustainable development, land green total factor productivity is selected as a proxy variable, the green finance index is used to measure green finance, and a benchmark regression model and a mediation effect model are constructed. The results of empirical analysis show that green finance positively impacts the pricing of land resource assets. For example, before adding control variables, the impact coefficient is 0.094*** (t value is 4.446), and after adding it is 0.018*** (t value is 3.553); green technology innovation (green finance impact coefficient is 0.002, significant at the 1% level; the impact coefficient on land resource asset pricing is 0.004, significant at the 1% level) and industrial structure ecology (green finance impact coefficient is -0.142, significant at the 5% level; the impact coefficient on land resource asset pricing is -0.001, significant at the 1% level) play a mediating transmission role; green finance has a promoting effect in the eastern (0.231***, t value is 3.339), central (0.143***, t value is 2.111) and northeastern regions (0.069**, t value is -1.925), and in the western region (-0.125, The t value is -1.454). It has an inhibitory effect but is not significant. Using the robustness test of different variable measurement methods, it verifies the significant positive role of green finance in promoting the pricing of land resource assets. It strengthens green finance as an effective means to promote the value of land resources.

Authors: Salvio Aldana Josué Daniel
Published: August 2024

El aporte que se presenta en este artículo es la realización de un análisis musical del estilo y la interpretación vocal de Alicia Maguiña Málaga en el triste con fuga de tondero “El Veneno”, pieza recopilada por la misma intérprete en Piura en 1968, y grabada su primera versión en 1976, para Odeón–IEMPSA en el LP Te adoro tierra mía (ELD 02.01.538), con el acompañamiento de la guitarra de Carlos Hayre. Material que, por ser la grabación más cercana a la fecha de su recopilación será utilizado para este análisis. Mi aporte fue: primero, analizar las cualidades y recursos vocales que empleaba Alicia Maguiña en su interpretación; para ello, tuvimos que hacer una transcripción del audio grabado en 1976 a partitura, utilizando el editor de partitura Sibelius; donde las cualidades y recursos vocales que adoptó la intérprete fueron transcritos al lenguaje musical y luego descrita de forma narrativa y gráfica. Y segundo, acercarnos a la vida y formación artística de la intérprete, para conocer su estilo interpretativo. Las cualidades y recursos más recurrentes encontrados a lo largo de toda la pieza fueron: la buena dosificación de aire, agilidad vocal, variación rítmica, el uso de firulete, glissandi (ascendente y descendente), vibratos, apoyaturas, una gran variedad de dinámicas, intensidades, carácter y agógica que se matiza adecuadamente con el contenido de la letra y la melodía; se destaca el empleo de vibrato ligero al final de casi todas las frases, siendo este una floritura muy utilizada en el canto del tondero. Emplea diferentes colocaciones vocales, a veces con un color claro y, a veces, con un color oscuro, y con ello logra replicar un sentimiento orgánico en su interpretación.
Developments in Global Trade Payments: BRICS, CBDCs, and De-dollarization
Authors: Lloyd Dr. Michael
Published: August 2024

The presentation will explore the various reasons for an apparent desire for de-dollarization in relation to the use of the US dollar use in trade payments. The discussion will cover the likely short-term impacts; the potential longer-term impacts of any significant drive for de-dollarization; the reaction and policies of the US, faced with the threat, and the likely global outcomes for the wider use of the dollar in monetary operational structures. While there appears to be no evidence of any current substantial replacement of the dollar either in overall financial transactions or in financial reserves held by central banks, there is evidence of some reduction in the latter. Clearly any geopolitical movement away from the use of the dollar would have considerable ramifications both for the US and for the global monetary economy. The analysis will also examine the differing political and economic motivations of the countries, currently and potentially, involved in the BRICS; the impacts of the expansion of the cross-border use of digital monetary assets and fiat currency CBDC transfers, and competition/ complementarity between private and public monetary channels. The implications for global financial and geopolitical stability of the potential destabilizing impacts of the various pressures for global trade and monetary shifts will be considered, including the regionalization of trade and digital currency areas.
Global Supply Chain Threats from Geopolitical Tension and Environmental Uncertainty: The 2024 Red Sea and Panama Canal Crises
Authors: Haralambides Prof. Hercules
Published: August 2024

A series of disruptions and shocks to world trade, such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, the Red Sea crisis and the Panama Canal draught, have inflicted serious blows on the reliability of logistics and global supply chain management; in other words, on the very ‘system’ not only of trading but of organizing our every day lives. Here, I am attempting to describe measurable impacts of such ‘shocks’ on trading arrangements; on shifts in ocean routings (e.g., circumnavigating Africa); shipping costs; on old and new alternatives to areas of high risk (e.g., Red Sea); on resilience of maritime supply chains; and, finally, on ideas of shortening global supply chains (nearshoring; friendshoring) and the future of globalization. In all this, the importance of safety and security of infrastructure is highlighted and, therein, the strategic role of ‘chokepoints’ (Bab Al-Mandab (Gulf of Aden), Red Sea, Malacca Straits, Panama Canal, etc.) is explained with real current examples. Seminal contributions (and references) from global think-tanks are critically analyzed and synthesized.

Authors: AlAli Rommel Mahmoud , Al-Barakat Ali Ahmad
Published: August 2024

This study investigates early childhood teachers' beliefs regarding the contribution of instructional pictures in developing young children’s linguistic skills. A carefully designed questionnaire assessed teachers' beliefs on how   instructional pictures, such as pictures and drawings, contribute to language development. The questionnaire's validity and reliability were confirmed through expert evaluation and a test-retest method, respectively. It was distributed to 570 randomly selected participants in northern Jordan. The findings revealed that many early childhood teachers have positive beliefs about   instructional pictures, viewing them primarily as tools for enhancing linguistic meaning, developing children's language skills, and fostering positive attitudes towards language learning. More specifically, the study showed that teachers believe   instructional pictures   are effective in improving children's pronunciation accuracy, promoting concrete thinking, increasing enjoyment and enthusiasm for language learning, enriching vocabulary, and enhancing reflective thinking in expressing ideas. These findings illustrate how   instructional pictures   support improving children's attention, developing their oral and written skills, and facilitating multisensory approaches to language learning. Interestingly, the analysis indicated that teachers' academic qualifications did not significantly influence their beliefs about the contribution of instructional pictures in language learning environments. Given these findings, it is crucial to integrate additional resources such as digital visual materials and educational apps that support the use of   instructional pictures   to enhance language skills.

Dalam era globalisasi yang berkembang pesat, teknologi dan komunikasi semakin mempengaruhi kehidupan sehari-hari. Kemajuan teknologi membuka pintu komunikasi tanpa batasan geografis, memungkinkan akses informasi dari seluruh dunia. Salah satu dampak perkembangan globalisasi adalah popularitas media blog, yang pertama kali diperkenalkan oleh Blogger.com dan kemudian diakuisisi oleh Google pada akhir tahun 2002. Blog, sebagai platform web yang dapat diakses oleh siapa saja, memberikan peluang untuk mempromosikan diri, desa, bisnis, dan pengalaman, serta berbagi dengan orang lain. Desa Giri Sasak memiliki potensi wisata yang melimpah dan layak untuk dipromosikan secara luas. Wisata Bukit Batu Gendang Desa Giri Sasak adalah salah satu aset wisata yang berhenti beroperasi sejak awal penyebaran pandemi Covid-19, menyebabkan penurunan pengunjung. Melalui observasi dan wawancara dengan pemangku kepentingan lokal, termasuk Kepala Desa, Ketua Karang Taruna, dan Ketua Pokdarwis, terungkap bahwa penggunaan media sosial sebagai alat promosi wisata masih kurang dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat setempat. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk menciptakan Blog Wisata Bukit Batu Gendang sebagai media promosi yang efektif. Langkah-langkah meliputi observasi awal, pendekatan sosial, koordinasi dengan kepala desa, pembuatan blog, dan edukasi penggunaan blog. Kegiatan ini berhasil menciptakan sebuah blog yang dapat diakses melalui link dan mengedukasikan penggunaannya kepada masyarakat setempat. Hasil dari program ini termasuk peningkatan kesadaran masyarakat tentang pentingnya promosi melalui media sosial untuk wisata, peningkatan kedekatan dengan pemerintah setempat, peningkatan tanggung jawab dalam pengelolaan blog, dan peningkatan pemahaman tentang pengelolaan wisata yang berkelanjutan. Program ini bukan hanya mempromosikan wisata lokal tetapi juga meningkatkan kesadaran akan pentingnya pelestarian dan pengelolaan wisata yang berkelanjutan.
