Authors: Badri Khairul Nizam Bin Zainal
Published: February 2024

The Malays began to gain awareness of nationalism in the early 20th century AD. The figures among Kaum Muda (Reformist Movement) are considered a precursor to the consciousness movement. Kaum Muda who are heavily influenced by the thinking of the Egyptian reformist figure, Shaykh Muhammad Abduh, aspired to expand modern thinking so that Muslims can stand as high as other races and take over the reins of government from the British colonialists. But the attitude of Kaum Muda likes to criticize Malay Sultans, and generate debate with scholars of the Kaum Tua (Traditionalist) not much progress can be achieved. At the same time, Shyakh Abdullah Fahim, one of the scholars of the Kaum Tua also had the same thought as Kaum Muda, which encourages people to develop themselves and Malays have the awareness to govern the country. This study seeks to examine the thinking of Shaykh Abdullah Fahim from his point of view on development and religion and its impact on progress. The method used in the study is qualitative based. The approach used to obtain information is by applying archival research. The results of the study found that Shaykh Abdullah Fahim still adheres to the basic principles of the Kaum Tua, namely Ahl Al-Sunnah Wa Al-Jamaah in an effort to develop the nation and country. The three things that Shaykh Abdullah Fahim emphasized to achieve progress were the establishment of educational institutions, involvement in the production of writing materials to inspire awareness, and the development of the youth generation

Authors: Miranda Marina
Published: February 2024

This essay examines the ‘Resolutions’ on the history of the Chinese Communist Party published in 2021, on the occasion of the centenary of the Party. The paper also offers a comparative analysis of this document with other similar texts issued in 1945 and 1981, which also provide the contextual framework for the official interpretation of history. Moreover, there are striking similarities between the ‘Resolutions’ issued by Xi Jinping and those formulated by Mao Zedong. In addition, this essay investigates elements of Xi’s ‘New Era’, such as the revised periodisation of PRC’s history, the cultivation of Xi’s personality cult, and the so-called ‘Four Histories’.
Il passato al servizio di quale presente? Un’edizione critica dei Dialoghi di Confucio durante il pi Lin pi Kong (1974)
Authors: Picerni Federico
Published: February 2024

This essay contributes to the study of the critical re-examination of Chinese pre-imperial philosophy during the Cultural Revolution through its superimposition with contemporary ideological struggles. In particular, the essay proposes an analysis of a critical edition of Confucius’ Analects published in 1974 during the anti-Confucian campaign. The study aims to contribute to a more general investigation that touches upon the main political stakes between late 1973 and 1975, which condensed the various unresolved knots of the Cultural Revolution, demonstrating its reabsorption within the bureaucratic confines of the party-state itself.

Discontinuità e cosmopolitismo nelle narrazioni letterarie della Cina moderna
Authors: Pesaro Nicoletta
Published: February 2024

This paper analyses how, beyond the traditional link that connects literature with history and historiography, modern Chinese literature has both experienced the dominance of history and acted as an effective agent of change in China’s historical events. Narrating the past is a crucial activity for both literature and politics. Consequently, it is inevitable for Chinese writers to frequently engage with political power, either challenging or accommodating official discourse. A distinctive element that characterizes the relationship between history and literature has been the sharing by writers and literary movements of transnational tendencies from the Marxist concept of history to postmodernism.
Per una storiografia di genere degli Hakka: le donne nelle gazzette locali e negli annali
Authors: Ardizzoni Sabrina
Published: February 2024

This contribution deals with the gendered historiography of Hakka women, by examining local gazetteers published between the late 19th century and the contemporary period in the border area between the provinces of western Fujian, southern Jiangxi and western Guangdong. In analysing the social and cultural positioning of Hakka women, the author highlights the dual nature of local gazetteers as historical sources – an intersection between the ideology propagated by the central government and the aspirations of the common people. Rethinking the relationship between state ideology and community self-representation, rural Hakka women emerge not as social constructions of superimposed ideology, but as social agents embedded in history.

Educadoras y profesoras de geografía de la II República y durante la represión franquista: Gloria Giner de los Ríos, Leonor Serrano y las hermanas Comas Ros
Authors: Gómez Mendoza Josefina
Published: February 2024

Se empieza a desvelar por distintas vías y en distintos países, la invisibilidad que padecieron las geógrafas del siglo pasado, tanto educadoras como profesoras e investigadoras, sin duda, por causas históricas como guerras y posguerras, pero también por su condición de mujeres. Se estudia en este artículo la doble invisibilidad que padecieron maestras y profesoras de geografía e historia españolas republicanas, en función del demoledor proceso de sanción y depuración a que fueron sometidas en los primeros años de la dictadura de Franco, como contrarreforma de todos los avances pedagógicos culturales y científicos de la Segunda República. Se han seleccionado, en el universo de docentes de la época, cuatro casos: Gloria Giner de los Ríos, institucionista y educadora, Leonor Serrano, inspectora de primera enseñanza y feminista pionera, y las catedráticas de enseñanza media María y Joaquina Comas Ros. Se concluye que estas y otras enseñantes mostraban una cultura y sensibilidad geográfica muy renovadoras para su tiempo, depositando en la geografía con mirada femenina una capacidad para entender mejor la naturaleza y protegerla, conseguir una explotación menos destructora de los recursos, medio ambiente y paisajes, y también luchar por relaciones más pacíficas entre los pueblos, en suma, más armonía natural y social.

KINESIOLOGY OF MICHAEL JACKSON›S “GRAVITATIONAL TILT”
Authors:   Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University Department of Developmental Psychology and Counseling, SITKAR Viktor
Published: February 2024

The features of the “gravity” tilt performed by Michael Jackson were analyzed from the point of view of kinesiology, biomechanics, and psychology. Attempts to repeat such a movement regularly cause injuries to dancers. It is noted that for performance it is not enough to use specially designed shoes - you also need to have a very good Stretch of the Achilles tendon. It is noted that Michael Jackson›s movements inspired the creators of many modern dance styles. Learning his tricks will help clinicians work more effectively with complex back injuries and tendon strains that dancers often experience. Social dancing is considered from different aspects: as a specific problem field, as a special socio-cultural technology, as a special socio-cultural institution and as a resource for the spatial development of socio-cultural activities. There is always a rule in culture: what is modern is in demand. But if previously something unchanged could be considered modern for many decades, today this term is much smaller: it is measured in years and even months. Purpose of the article. Find out the features of the kinesiology of “anti-gravity tilt” in dancing, using the example of Michael Jackson. Conclusions. The problems discussed in the article are important for the modern development of choreography, when it is no longer enough to simply move into music, but you also need to look for something new, philosophical. Dance, like other forms of art, provides an opportunity to express oneself, develop, achieve goals, and live in harmony with oneself and the world around us. As a result, our life is filled with new content, becomes more interesting and fruitful. Prospects for further research. Using the principles of kinesiology in modern choreographic art as a means of improving performance skills in show programs.

The influence of silver additives in amounts of 0.2 and 0.5% (wt.) on the structure and mechanical properties of thin sheet (1 mm thickness) steel 03Х17Н10М2 (03Ch17N10М2), produced by argon-arc remelting followed by homogenization annealing and hot longitudinal rolling, has been studied. It was established that increasing the silver content from 0 to 0.5% led to a slight decrease in strength (σ0.2 from 560 to 510 MPa, σs from 760 to 710 MP) and microhardness (from 274 to 250 HV), but not below the requirements ASTM A240. The fracture surface of steel in both cases is represented by a set of different-sized self-similar pores (cups) of ductile fracture. The developed steel with a silver content of up to 0.5% (wt.) can be effectively used for products that require antibacterial properties.

Elementary particles and their interaction with space-time curvature
Authors: Lavi Eran Magshim
Published: February 2024

This article investigates the fundamental principles that establish universal limits in physical phenomena, such as the uniformity of physical laws and Energy conservation, leading to the concepts of maximum speed, locality, and maximum density. These principles guide me to explore Quantum Black Holes—relativistically rotating, miniature charged black holes with a singular core at the highest possible density. Uniquely, these Quantum Black Holes maintain all quantized charges, including gravitational ones. The study further demonstrates that quarks and leptons are composed of these Quantum Black Holes, redefining them as the actual elementary particles.Exploring these particles reveals that they emit Energy outward, modifying the curvature of nearby space-time. This discovery provides new insights into local space-time dynamics, characterized by a single equation that includes the influence of all charges and hidden Energy. By the conclusion of this article, I show that Quantum Black Holes offer explanations for several Standard Model deficiencies: the nature of luminous, dark, and anti-Matter; the mass, size, and quantized charges of all elementary particles (including gravitational); the nature of neutrino oscillations; and the mechanism by which electric charges remain bound even though the same type of electric charge components must repeal each other.

Authors: DUNCAN BARRY R.
Published: February 2024

On January 25, 2024 convicted murderer Kenneth Eugene Smith was executed in the US State of Alabama by N2-induced hypoxia, raising serious questions about this new method. The shortcomings of N2 (nitrogen gas) in this event are discussed. H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide gas) which, although very toxic, has been shown to be a very potent volatile anesthetic (VA). The effects of these two gases on loss of consciousness, the hypoxic ventilatory response, TASK-1/3 channels and how PaO2 fits in are explored. Huge numbers of animals are euthanized yearly, sometimes also using N2-induced hypoxia, and more rapid humane methods could be beneficial. How these studies reflect on the January 25, 2024 events is discussed.H2S potent anesthetic properties and the ability cause very rapid loss of consciousness and death presents itself as a possible far more humane method for execution and, in many cases, animal euthanasia.These technical discussions are not directed towards the philosophical debates about whether capital punishment is or is not just.
Free Energy is Nothing(ness)
Authors: Hoey Jesse
Published: February 2024

I draw a parallel in this essay between Jean-Paul Sartre’s existentialism and the Free Energy Principle (FEP), a basic physical property of life on earth. I show how the three elements of Sartre’s theory fit elegantly with three elements of a FEP view of the world. I discuss how this connection gives fresh insights into both Sartre and the free energy principle. This essay is not claiming an exhaustive mapping from Sartre’s vast system to free energy concepts. Instead, it poses such a mapping as a possibility, and investigates the connecting threads along the most important dimensions. While this necessarily leaves much out, it is meant as a starting point.

Susceptibility to emotional contagion is defined as the disposition of how susceptible someone is to catch others’ emotions and it has long been studied in research on mental health, well-being, and social interaction. Given that existing self-report measures of susceptibility to emotional contagion have focused almost exclusively on negative emotions, we developed a self-report measure to assess the susceptibility to emotional contagion of both positive and negative emotions (2 scales). In two studies, we examined their factor structure, validity, and reliability using exploratory factor analysis (Study 1, N = 257), confirmatory factor analysis (Study 2, N = 247) and correlations. Our results confirmed the two-factor structure and demonstrated good internal consistencies. Regarding external validity, our scales showed diverging correlational patterns: While susceptibility to negative emotional contagion was linked to mental health problems and negative emotions, susceptibility to positive emotional contagion was linked to interpersonal functioning and prosocial tendencies. In conclusion, our scales appear to be internally/externally valid and a promising tool for future research.
Führung – Feedback – Fehlermanagement. Wie können polizeiliche Führungskräfte motiviert werden, ihre Mitarbeitenden häufiger um kritisches Feedback zu bitten?

Feedback is an important resource in everyday working life. Leaders can also benefit from feedback. However, employees rarely give their leaders feedback, with the result that leaders often lack important information. They should therefore actively approach their employees and ask them for feedback. In this article, we want to show that proactive feedback-seeking is an important leadership behavior in the police. Feedback-seeking is based on a cost-benefit analysis and for leaders, the costs of actively seeking feedback often outweigh the benefits. Therefore, leaders will generally rarely ask their employees for feedback in everyday police work. We will show which factors favor the feedback-seeking of police leaders. One of these factors is a positive approach to errors. This means that a learning-oriented error management climate in the police encourages leaders to seek feedback. Overall, proactive feedback-seeking is a key aspect of authentic leadership that should be recognized and encouraged in the police force. In this article, we show how a positive approach to errors and criticism can succeed in police leadership work and in the police force as a whole.Dies ist ein Vorabdruck des folgenden Beitrages: Lynnyk, A., Lepach, M., & Fischbach, A.

Virtual Science Laboratories in Biochemical Engineering
Authors: Yetisen Ali K.
Published: February 2024

This article proposes the integration of digital learning tools (i.e. virtual science laboratories) in a 10-hour teaching session within the bioprocess engineering curriculum. Transformative digital learning technologies can foster active learning, collaboration, and inclusion. The virtual science laboratories, focused on fermentation and tissue engineering, leverage gamification elements, providing an immersive and realistic learning environment. Instructors act as facilitators to guide students through experiments and offer technical support. The simulated virtual environment replaces physical laboratories to supplement traditional teaching, offering pre-laboratory exercises and experiential learning opportunities in order to enhance the learning experience. The study also highlights the advantages and limitations of digital learning environments such as cost implication to achieve widespread adoption of virtual platforms in engineering education.
Collaborative Learning Sessions in Engineering Education

Published: February 2024

This article demonstrates the implementation of a 3-hour teaching session on optical biosensors through the employment of a social constructivist approach. Informed by Vygotsky's zone of proximal development, constructivist strategies, and project-based learning, the learning session was divided into pre-course work and live classroom exercises. While the pre-course work included fundamental spectroscopy concepts taught through videos, the classroom exercises involved the discussion of key concepts and an online simulator-based exercise for experiential and project-based learning. The final segment involved small-group discussions on medical applications of spectroscopy, encouraging peer feedback in the learning session. This approach aims to shift from traditional con-tent-heavy teaching to a more interactive, collaborative, and technologically integrated educational model.
The statute data swamp: NLP, data cleansing, data interpretation and legislative drafting
Authors: Waddington Matthew

Authors: Yetisen Ali K.
Published: February 2024

This study explores the role of Communities of Practice (CoPs) in shaping entrepreneurial ecosystems within a STEM higher education institution. It emphasizes informal interactions, knowledge sharing, and identity transformation within cross-cutting CoPs, demonstrating their significance in fostering innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and entrepreneurial competencies. This work also discusses key entrepreneurial networking initiatives, underscoring their role in creating collaborative learning environments. Additionally, the paper addresses the limitations of CoPs, advocating for inclusivity, equal opportunities, and the consideration of Networks of Practice (NoPs) and Landscapes of Practice (LoPs) to enrich entrepreneurial learning at a broader multidisciplinary scale.

It has become a major challenge to develop highly sensitive and selective ZnO gas sensors to detect the leakage of toxic and explosive gases due to their high operating temperature. This article reports the design, characterization, and application of a Mn-doped ZnO thin film for ethanol gas vapor detection at a relatively lower temperature. To achieve this, undoped (0%) and Mn doped ZnO thin films were prepared using a spin coating technique and their structural, morphological and optical characterizations were carried out using XRD, SEM, EDX and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The XRD analysis showed a polycrystalline ZnO structure with the preferred orientations along (100), (002), (101), (102), (110), (103), and (200) planes. Upon Mn doping, the average crystallite size and band gap of ZnO were found to be decreased, which indicated that Mn ions substitute into the lattice of ZnO. Interestingly, SEM images revealed the grainy like porous ZnO surfaces. The EDX results confirmed the presence of Mn dopant in the ZnO lattice. In the doped films, the changes in particle size and grain boundaries of nanocrystalline ZnO resulted changes in sensitivity and operating temperature of ZnO gas sensor. The sensitivity measurements towards ethanol vapor showed significant decrease of the operating temperature from 220°C to 160°C as Mn concentration was increased from 0 to 5%. As-prepared Mn-doped ZnO sensors will be useful for sensing ethanol vapor at relatively low temperature.
Effect of Advertisement on Consumer’s Behavior of women with Special reference to Deoghar district of Jharkhand
Authors: Yadav Nand Kishor
Published: February 2024

A consumer buys an item so that his needs are fulfilled. If the level of satisfaction remains low after purchasing an item, then the consumer will not purchase that item. Whereas the main objective of a producer is to sell more and more goods and services to get maximum profit. In both the cases, the buyer needs knowledge about the goods and the sellers about the needs of the buyers. Consumers acquire knowledge through various media platforms, while producers reach out to consumers about their goods and services through various media platforms. It is clear from the study that female consumers are more influenced by various popular media sources like Facebook, YouTube, TV etc.
