Authors: Bilal Hassan  , Huraima Aslam  , Beenish Mashkoor  , Ali Raza
Published: January 2025

The United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to encourage and grow formalization of micro, small and medium sized enterprises through access to financial services. In the financial sector, digital innovation has made tremendous contributions, and financial products are important in the desire to achieve long term success. In this research, where the Resource Based View (RBV) is considered, it examines robo-advisors (RA) and fintech adoption (FA) as independent variables affecting sustainable performance (SP) with green finance used as the mediating variable. The study uses stratified random sampling to collect data from 302 people working in different financial institutions. The proposed model was assessed using Smart PLS. Results reveal a strong positive relationship between SP, FA and RA, evidencing their meaningfulness as strategic tools to enhance sustainability results. Moreover, the mediating role of GF underlines the significant role played by GF as a medium for raising the coherence of fintech and robo advisors in sustainable performance. It also confirms findings of new studies which demonstrate how green finance can change corporate sustainability priorities. These results can help policy makers in financial institutions, legislators and other stakeholders in system development in institutions and encourage the theoretical basis of RBV in the financial sector.

Published: January 2025

The process of globalization has implied greater interdependence of national cultures and economies, and the development of information technologies and transport services has made it easy to organize business and tourist trips to countries around the world. A certain group of people considers spending vacations at domestic tourist destinations a moral obligation and a patriotic act, while another group of people has a high level of innovativeness, follows fashion trends, technological innovations, stays informed about current events through social networks, has a pronounced openness to other cultures and different ideas, and frequently visits foreign tourist destinations. The research was conducted with the aim of examining the influence of consumer ethnocentrism, influencers, personal innovativeness, cognitive and motivational cultural intelligence on the respondents' decision to visit a foreign tourist destination. The field research was conducted using a survey method, and the respondents' answers (505) were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) within the statistical package SmartPLS 4. The results showed that consumer ethnocentrism has a negative impact, while influencers, personal innovativeness, cognitive and motivational cultural intelligence have a positive impact on the respondents' decision to visit foreign tourist destinations. These findings are important for formulating an appropriate marketing strategy by service providers in the tourism and hospitality industry.

Nina kirsanova: The first steps towards eclecticism and modernism
Authors: Latifić Amra
Published: January 2025

Nina Kirsanova, one of the most significant figures in the history of ballet at the National Theatre in Belgrade, has significantly contributed to the development of classical ballet. She also synthesized classical and plastic expression, which is the subject of this paper, as her own style. In the 1930s, thanks to her research spirit and vision, her contacts and cooperation with globally renowned ballet names, as a ballerina, choreographer and ballet master, she has brought contemporary aesthetic views to Belgrade. Kirsanova synthesized two principles - Dionysian (ecstatic) and Apollonian (aesthetic). Transforming the existing aesthetics of the National Theatre, she retained the ballet canon with the aim of liberalizing the ballet lexicon. Her expression of rebellion against the ballet canon and her aspiration to return the movement to the symbolic communication and message was shown in the ballet performances of El Amor Brujo, Fatum and La Grande Ville (1934). She created improvised choreographic variants and styles in these ballet shows by exploring movements and the ir relationships. Kirsanova's approach was rooted in the fact that the inner impulse determines the movement, showing that the movement is only as strong as its inner dynamics. Leading critics such as Branko Dragutinović, Todor Manojlović, Dragutin Čolić and Miloje Milojević, have accepted these ballet performances in quite different ways - some claiming that Kirsanova was more successful in one of the two approac hes, while for some this step forward was utterly unacceptable. At that moment, critics have failed to grasp the significance of staging these works, modern and avant-garde in their time, in our ballet repertoires. On the other hand, the audiences have welcomed the new visions with standing ovations
Innovation of CRAM flap for reconstruction of high-voltage electrical burn injuries: Case series
Authors: Kawilarang Bertha , Putu Riasa
Published: January 2025

Electrical burns cause devastating injury with major soft tissue loss and pose a major threat to life. The damage caused by electrical injuries can extend to deeper tissues, causing exposed soft tissues such as tendon and nerve. The rectus abdominis muscle is a donor of musculocutaneous flap due to the well-known blood supply and high vascularity. The rectus abdominis pedicled flap can be either performed transversely or vertically oriented. The drawback of both of these techniques is the insufficient coverage particularly when used for wide or circular defects. Crescent-shaped rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (CRAM) flap is an innovation that is intended to be used for coverage of circumferential defects with extensive soft tissues exposed as can be seen in the defect caused by electric burn injury. In this paper, cases of high-voltage electrical injury at different anatomical regions which were successfully reconstructed with CRAM flap are presented. Overall, CRAM flap was a reliable flap resulting in well-vascularised soft tissue coverage and acceptable functionality.
Parametric programming of CNC lathes
Authors: Vasilić Goran , Živanović Saša , Milutinović Milan
Published: January 2025

Parametric programming of CNC machines belongs to advanced programming techniques that provide several advantages compared to the generally accepted ways of creating G-code programs. Until now, manufacturers of CNC machines and their control units have mostly used this way of programming to create fixed processing cycles. Despite the range of possibilities it provides, parametric programming is not sufficiently representative of the end users of CNC machines. CNC machine programmers do not use this way of programming due to insufficient training and a lack of literature for education. This paper presents the basics and principles of parametric programming of CNC machines. According to the explanations, a parametric program can be written for any CNC machine. The paper presents examples of parametric programs written for typical operations realized on a CNC lathe.

Authors:   Art·Design Research Institute of Kyung-Hee University, Kim Jong Ha , Kim Kwon Ho , Choi Ryan Jongwoo
Published: January 2025

The first step in design begins with deep empathy for user experience. As design thinking and UX design have become key issues, empathy has grown essential. User interviews are widely used, yet they often fail to capture experiences of introverted or communication-challenged users, risking biased or ineffective design outcomes. This study examines the potential of AI interviewers to better engage introverted users and broaden UX research inclusivity. By selecting introverted participants to experience both human and AI interviews, we analyzed emotional responses and interview outcomes. This analysis led to identifying key improvements for AI interviewers and proposes a new approach to UX research that enhances inclusivity and effectiveness.
An Examination of the People's Poetry Characteristics in the Works of 1950s Chansonniers
Authors:   Art·Design Research Institute of Kyung-Hee University, Lee Ji Hyun , Hong Sung kyoo
Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the lyrics of chanson songs from the 1950s in order to examine the populist characteristics inherent in the works of the period. For this purpose, four chanson artists—Georges Brassens, Jacques Brel, Boris Vian, and Léo Ferré—who released albums during the 1950s, are selected for the analysis of prevailing trends and populist features in their compositions. In the aftermath of World War II, Europe experienced widespread human and material losses, which posed significant barriers to social stability. Artists and writers of the time depicted the horrors of war and the existential struggles of humanity through their works. Chanson songs of this era, in turn, captured the lives, experiences, desires, and aspirations of the working class, reflecting the socio-economic realities of ordinary people. The populist characteristics of these chansons are evident in their realistic portrayals of the impoverished and difficult lives of the lower classes in an unstable post-war society, as well as in their expressions of yearning for love and freedom. Furthermore, the societal implications of rapid industrialization were also addressed. By investigating these populist features, this study demonstrates how chanson songs of the 1950s functioned as a form of social engagement, using artistic expression to reflect and critique the social issues of the time.
Instructional management strategies for addressing low student engagement in mathematics
Authors: Verdeflor Richard N. , Tenedero Emma Q. , G. Bordios Abegail , M. Panit Naneta , Espinosa Cesar Genoguin
Published: January 2025

Student engagement and interest are critical components of the learning process, as they directly influence students’ academic success and motivation. When students are engaged, they are more likely to actively participate in lessons, invest time and effort into their studies, and demonstrate perseverance in the face of challenges. Interest sparks curiosity and a desire to explore subjects further, helping students to connect emotionally and intellectually with the material. This paper explored the instructional management strategies that college mathematics teachers employ to encourage students to learn mathematics in classrooms. College teachers (n=16) were purposively sampled to be interviewed in this study. Narratives were collected and analyzed to extract recurring themes within their experiences. Findings indicated that students often demonstrated low interest in mathematics due to non-academic and emotional challenges, such as financial stress and mental health issues, which hindered their ability to focus and engage in the subject. Students exhibited low interest in mathematics, demonstrated through non-verbal cues such as slouching, avoiding eye contact, and disengaging from class discussions or group work. Teachers observed that having a supportive classroom environment, promoting open communication, and using interactive learning strategies, such as real-world applications and case studies, helped improve student participation and engagement. Recognizing the impact of social and emotional factors on learning, such as anxiety and depression, reflected the importance of establishing trust and strong teacher-student relationships to provide both academic and emotional support, which develops students’ motivation and self-confidence in mathematics. Nevertheless, addressing these challenges and incorporating active learning strategies could improve student engagement and learning outcomes in college mathematics.

Authors: Rodríguez Susana , Vieites Tania , Rodríguez-Llorente Carolina , Valle Antonio , Núñez José Carlos
Published: January 2025

La investigación pasada sugiere que la cantidad de deberes realizados, el tiempo dedicado a los mismos o, incluso, la gestión del tiempo, no se relacionan positivamente con un mayor rendimiento cuando se toman individualmente. Por ello, el principal propósito de este estudio es identificar perfiles de estudiantes, definidos en base a la cantidad de deberes escolares que realizan, el tiempo que dedican a realizarlos y la gestión de ese tiempo. Se trata de comprobar las diversas combinaciones que se dan dentro de las y los participantes con respecto a la implicación conductual en las tareas académicas realizadas en el hogar, integrando una perspectiva centrada en la persona y no tomando las variables de forma independiente. Una vez identificados, definidos y caracterizados potenciales perfiles, se pretende averiguar cuáles son sus diferencias a nivel afectivo-motivacional y cognitivo y también con respecto al rendimiento académico. La muestra está integrada por 1935 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) pertenecientes a 22 centros educativos de Galicia y de Asturias. Se han identificado tres perfiles de implicación conductual según su nivel de implicación: media-alta, media y baja. A su vez, estos tres perfiles se relacionan de manera diferente con la motivación, la ansiedad, el enfoque de trabajo y el rendimiento académico. En concreto, y en general, cuanto mayor es el nivel de implicación conductual mayor es la motivación intrínseca, menor la ansiedad ante los deberes, más profundo el enfoque de trabajo sobre los mismos y mayor el rendimiento académico. Como conclusión, se discute la necesidad de tomar en cuenta, al menos, estas tres variables de implicación conductual –cantidad de deberes realizados, tiempo dedicado y gestión del tiempo– según los perfiles encontrados para ser capaces de asegurar condiciones óptimas personales de trabajo en los deberes y un buen rendimiento académico.
La enseñanza secundaria en Colombia. Claves para una historia del sistema educativo
Authors: Durán Sánchez María Fernanda
Published: January 2025

El presente artículo propone un recorrido del proceso histórico —caracterizado por la fragmentación y la heterogeneidad— de formación del nivel intermedio del sistema educativo colombiano entre finales del siglo XVIII y la primera mitad del siglo XX. En nuestro país, a diferencia de lo que ocurre, por ejemplo, para el caso argentino, muy pocos trabajos se han interesado en ofrecer esa visión panorámica o de conjunto de todo el sistema educativo, lo cual puede explicarse, en parte, por la ausencia de investigaciones que se ocupen, de forma específica, de la historia de la enseñanza secundaria o del bachillerato. Como método de análisis se utiliza el esquema que se fundamenta en los conceptos de sistematización y de segmentación y se organiza a partir de la identificación de cuatro marcas o funciones (la propedéutica, la cultural, la social y la política y económica) en la configuración del modelo institucional de la educación secundaria, propuesta por Felicitas Acosta para el estudio de la educación en la Argentina. Para el caso nacional se destaca la influencia determinante que ha tenido, y que aún hoy tiene, el modelo clásico de corte humanista sostenido por la iglesia católica y que ha contribuido, de forma significativa, al debilitamiento de la constitución de un sistema público de enseñanza media.

Published: January 2025

Cibodas Botanical Garden (CBG) maintains not only native plant species but also introduced plant species. Some of these have been naturalized from CBG to the adjacent Mt. Gede-Pangrango National Park (GPNP). One of the reported naturalized species is Bartlettina sordida. Understanding species traits will give information for the future management of B. sordida. This research investigates the distribution of B. sordida in the Cibodas hiking trail and studies leaf traits variation of this species along with an altitudinal change in the Cibodas hiking trail. Samples were collected along the Cibodas hiking trail from the entrance gate to the Cibeureum waterfall. At every survey location, we recorded B. sordida occurrences. In the sample plots we also collected leaf samples from detected B. sordida. The leaves were then fixated using the hands-free method to observed stomatal type, density, and size. The leaves were also treated for specific leaf area (SLA) measurements. Stomata size is significantly correlated along the altitudinal gradient. Stomata density is negatively correlated but not significant along the altitudinal gradient. Stomata size is positively correlated with SLA. These traits are related to water-efficient adapting to GPNP climate, which is very different from its natural habitat. The ability to adapt to altitudinal gradient helps B. sordida to dominate the Cibodas hiking trail.

On average, the number of visitors of ANRF on regular days is 100-300 visitors/day and on holidays reaches 300-1,700 visitors/day. The increase in the number of visitors is perceived to have an impact on environmental sustainability. This study aims to determine the capacity of the ANRF ecotourism area to accommodate the number of tourists per day simultaneously. The method used is the effective carrying capacity by Cifuentes method based on several stages of analysis, namely Physical Capacity (PCC), Real Capacity (RCC), Management Capacity (MC), and Effective Capacity (ECC). The environmental carrying capacity analysis results showed that the PCC, RCC, ECC were 26,106 visitors/day, 3,007 visitors/day, 2,505 visitors/day respectively while MC was 0.83. This value can be used to advise managers to limit visitors, particularly during peak season, in order to preserve objects and the quality of visits.
ECONOMIC VALUE OF WILDLIFE SANCTUARY: A CASE STUDY FROM THE WESTERN GHATS IN KARNATAKA, INDIA
Authors: Balasubramanian Muniyandi
Published: January 2025

Goods and services of the ecosystem provided by the natural environment have not been considered in terms of their economic value. There are a number of studies that have estimated the economic value of forest ecosystem services in India, but very few studies have estimated these economic values of other important ecosystem services.  Biligiri Rangaswamy Temple Wildlife Sanctuary (BRTWLS) is a unique place as a bridge between the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats in Karnataka, India. There are 12,500  Soligas (tribal community) living in this area.  Non-timber forest products constitute more than 60% of the Soliga household income. A number of studies have been conducted in the BRTWLS. However, there is a lack of studies on the economic value. The primary objective of this study is to estimate the value of ecosystem services provided by BRTWLS. This study has used the market price methods for estimating the value of provisioning services and individual travel cost method for estimating the value of recreation services, while the value of carbon sequestration and soil erosion prevention has been estimated based on secondary data. This study has estimated the total annual value of provisioning, regulating and cultural services of BRTWLS at Rs 23.9 million y-1. The findings of the study will be helpful to the local policy makers to increase the entry fee at the BRTWLS, as it provides valuable ecosystem services and reinvests the same in natural capital to achieve environmental sustainability at the local level.
Gender identity and the protection of ontological difference through the autonomy of religious associations
Authors: Vorster Janko , de Freitas Shaun
Published: January 2025

This article critically examines the intersection of gender identity, religious associational autonomy, and the evolving legal landscape in liberal democracies. Focusing on the clash between transgender rights and the religious beliefs held by these associations, it navigates the deep-rooted beliefs and assumptions underlying the transgender phenomenon. The article advocates for the protection of the autonomy of religious groups by considering international law, the principle of subsidiarity, the limits of law, and the inherent values that permeate these groups. Emphasizing the communal nature of religious associations, a holistic and integrated perspective is argued for.
Assisting underage victims of anti-Christian attitudes in Pakistan
Authors: Zamkowska Iwona
Published: January 2025

Pakistan has a long history of persecuting minority faith groups. It ranked seventh on the 2024 Open Doors World Watch List, and the 2024 Annual Report published by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom recommended designating Pakistan as a Country of Particular Concern due to its worsening religious freedom conditions for Christians and other religious minorities. The persecution affects all age groups. However, this paper focuses on Christian children, portraying the persecution of minors as a multi-dimensional phenomenon that affects their whole life, impeding their religious, educational, and professional development.
Citizenries enjoying freedom of religion failing to follow through towards moral and social freedom
Authors: van der Walt Johannes L. , Broer Nico A. , Wolhuter Charl C.
Published: January 2025

Citizenries of some countries that already enjoy freedom of religion fail to use that freedom effectively to rid their societies of crime, violence and anomie. This paper examines Venezuela and South Africa as two case studies. Although both countries have experienced significant political unrest, given the similar values shared by the majority of their populations, their citizenries should have engaged in dialogue with their compatriots to establish common moral ground. Upcoming generations should be guided to use their freedom of religion to engage with compatriots of other religious persuasions, thereby contributing to greater religious tolerance, understanding and morally justifiable behaviour.
Youth and the nones. A challenge to the study and understanding of religious freedom today.
Authors: Bordón Lugo Marcela
Published: January 2025

This article explores the shifting landscape of religious freedom, focusing on the growing population of religiously unaffiliated individuals, or “nones.” It delves into the complexities of this diverse group, which extends beyond atheism to include a range of beliefs and practices. The article highlights the legal and social challenges nones face, particularly the lack of recognition and accommodation within existing religious freedom frameworks. It also examines how inadequate research methodologies contribute to the misrepresentation of nones in policy and public discourse. The article advocates for more inclusive policies and educational efforts to protect the religious autonomy of this group.
These kids are not alright. When schools exclude children on the basis of religion.
Authors: Epp Buckingham Janet
Published: January 2025

Schools should be places where all children are welcome to receive education. Yet sometimes they are a battleground for political conflicts amongst adults, as schools are often used to inculcate common values. It is therefore particularly demeaning for children to be excluded from schools. In Canada, children have been excluded from school on the basis of religious practices, thereby violating their religious freedom. Little legal scholarship exists on children’s rights to religious freedom. This article reviews international law regarding the religious freedom of children in relation to education and then examines three legal cases.
Conversion without consent. The abduction, forced religious conversions, and child marriage of faith minority girls in Pakistan
Authors:   Jubilee Campaign,   Voice for Justice
Published: January 2025

International human rights law guarantees individuals the right to freedom of religion or belief via “worship, observance, practice and teaching”. Freedom of religion permits peaceful evangelism; it does not, protect acts of coercive conversion through bribery, promises of social benefits, or exploitation of another’s “inexperience, trust, need, low intellect or naïvety”. In the predominantly Muslim population in Pakistan, conversion to Islam is encouraged, and the negligible implementation of legislation – albeit already deficient or discriminatory in essence – further emboldens Muslim men to kidnap girls from minority faith communities, whom they then subject to forced religious conversions and child marriages.

Authors: Khachatryan Anna
Published: January 2025

Traditional medical knowledge is an intangible cultural heritage of a people,
a community, transmitted from generation to generation. Traditional medical
knowledge includes not only the use of specific medicines for specific health
problems, but also the procedural skills of making medicines. In order to protect
traditional medical knowledge from a legal point of view, it is first necessary
to form appropriate legal bases. However, legislations protecting traditional
knowledge are outside the classical intellectual property law institutions,
so they are often called sui generis, “unique”, “one of a kind”. The reason is
that the main requirement to be an object of copyright, the need to have an
author (a group of authors) is absent in the case of traditional knowledge. As for
considering traditional knowledge as an object of classical patent law, the fact
that the main characteristic of traditional knowledge traditionality is passed
down from generation to generation is opposed to the condition of the object of
patent law being “novelty”. That is the reason why legal protection of traditional
knowledge is often carried out by formulating separate legislation. Another way
to protect traditional medical knowledge and the genetic resources used in it is
to recognize it as part of the rights of ancestors/the rights of indigenous peoples,
according to which these peoples have the right to possess, use and manage the
resources existing on their lands.
