Authors: Zou Lubing
Published: June 2024

In contemporary society, the underestimation of female leaderships within organizations and the concerning gender inequality gap in workplaces remain as significant issues. This study delves into the intricate web of factors leading to the underestimation of female leadership, examining both external factors, including the Role Congruity Theory, the Glass Cliff phenomenon and the “Think crisis – Think Female” Model, and internal factors including internalization of gender stereotypes by females. The research methodology used is primarily analyzing existing articles and literature. This study offers valuable suggestions for addressing these challenges, suggesting actions by multiple stakeholders including companies, women workers, and society as a whole. In conclusion, the research has illuminated that there are three crucial theoretical factors interplaying and ultimately contributing to the underestimation of female leadership, including external influences like the Role Congruity Theory, the Glass Cliff phenomenon and the “Think crisis – Think Female” Model, as well as internal factors such as gender stereotype internalization.

Authors: Teng Yu , Liu Jie , Zhong Zhixian , Wang Xiaodong
Published: June 2024

In order to obtain uniform dispersion of Fe3O4 in composite nanofibers, a new method is used by mixing compound of Fe3+ and Fe2+ with organic polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), then subjected nanofibers through electrospinning and formed ferric oxide/polyvinylpyrrolidone (Fe3O4/PVP) fibers via in-situ by gas-solid reaction under the condition of NH3. The morphology of the fibers and the dispersion of Fe3O4 particles in the fibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The crystallization of the magnetic fibers was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) was used to observe the superparamagnetic behavior. The morphology charaterization show Fe3O4 particles in the nanofibers were evenly distributed with no obvious particle agglomeration. The magnetic measurement of the fiber shows that the magnetic nanofibers have better superparamagnetism, which are expected to be used as a drug-loaded magnetic cloth in the field of biomedicine.

Authors: Gou Yaowen
Published: June 2024

Task-based language teaching, as one of the four main English teaching methods in China, has its unique advantages. In a task-based teaching, students actually learn language by doing interesting things relevant to their daily life and can hence get them involved physically and emotionally. Which, to some degree, fits the teaching idea of our country that we should enable students to develop their practical ability to use language through task-centered teaching approach especially after the appearance of NECS in 2017. However, there still exists some challenges or problems facing task-based approach and its implementation in a Chinese context where English is treated as a foreign language to learn (EFL). Thus, this paper aims to present these problems at the macro and micro perspectives. Besides, this paper also hopes to offer some pertinent suggestions on how we should respond to task-based method dialectically based on the enlightenment of relevant literature.

Gender Quotas and The Level of Citizenship of Women in Mexico
Authors: Du Xiaoya
Published: June 2024

The United Mexican States, or Mexico, has been focusing on democratic reforms in the past few decades. One of the most notable among these is the gender quota policy that mandates a certain percentage of legislative seats be reserved for women. Focusing on this topic, the question asked in this paper is the effects of the gender quota—its implementation and evolution, specifically—on the citizenship of women in Mexico. This research is important, as it provides crucial support for the debate surrounding affirmative action policies, as well as democratization in general. In this paper, data is collected from Our World in Data and UNDP Human Development Reports, then calculated and drawn into graphs in Microsoft Excel. The conclusion of the data analysis is that, despite the quota not being met except for the 2021 election, the citizenship of Mexican women still improved with every reformation and reinforcement of the gender quota law. This suggests that, despite not being properly regulated, the existence of a quota and affirmative action policies in general provide benefits for the minority they are designed to protect.

Images des pratiques alimentaires dans les Cent Nouvelles nouvelles et leur cycle de miniatures (n° 38, 41, 49, 64, 66, 80)
Authors: Velissariou Alexandra
Published: June 2024

Rédigées au XVe siècle, les anonymes Cent Nouvelles nouvelles nous sont connues grâce à un seul manuscrit médiéval (Glasgow University Library, MS Hunter 252), agrémenté de cent miniatures qui proposent pour la plupart un résumé de chaque récit. De nombreuses nouvelles mettent en scène des épisodes où les personnages se réunissent autour d’un repas. Ces scènes représentent d’importants moments d’échange entre les personnages et s’avèrent souvent déterminantes pour la suite de l’intrigue. Le fait de boire et de manger est lourd de significations : qu’il soit la métaphore des rapports entre les deux sexes, le rendez-vous des amours illicites, ou le moment choisi pour révéler une vérité, le repas constitue un fait social essentiel. Notre étude se propose ainsi d’analyser les rapports entre texte et image selon le thème des pratiques alimentaires considérées comme représentatives des relations hommes-femmes dans la littérature brève médiévale de type facétieux.

Law governing the arbitrability: Faultlines in the singapore court of appeal’s composite approach in mittal case
Authors: Jain Hardik
Published: June 2024

Different states have different rules on arbitrability. While a dispute might be considered as arbitrable in one jurisdiction, it might not be the case in another. This poses challenge in cases where a dispute is connected to various jurisdictions with conflicting rules on arbitrability. Therefore, in an international arbitration, it becomes important to determine which jurisdictional rules govern the question of arbitrability. Some courts apply the law of the seat; others adopt ‘composite approach’ of applying both law of the seat and that of the arbitration agreement. However, the law of the place of enforcement is particularly disregarded especially at the pre-award stage. Based on the recent example of the Mittal case, this article argues against the application of one-size-fits-all approach and proposes the adoption of a comprehensive approach for determining the governing law of arbitrability which is inclusive of law of place of enforcement in certain kinds of cases.

Fair Competition in the Context of EU External Relations: A Redoubled Effort for a Level Playing Field
Authors: Vasilopoulos Stamatis
Published: June 2024

In the highly fragmented regulatory context of fair competition in international aviation, the EU published Regulation 868/2004, which, despite its best intentions of protecting EU carriers from unfair practices, has been deemed ineffective. A decade later in 2015, the EU Commission published a new strategy for aviation which included the aim to establish a level playing field on two grounds, that is, the revision of EU Regulation 868/2004 and the promotion of EU competition values in comprehensive air transport agreements (CATAs) of the EU with third countries. This article evaluates EU Regulation 712/2019 revising and repealing EU Regulation 868/2004. In evaluating the EU strategy, special attention is given to the interplay of said Regulation with the first post-2015 comprehensive agreement signed between the EU and Qatar.
Corporate Governance and Equal Protection: Legal Challenges to State-Mandated Diversity in Corporate Boards
Authors: Ghahramani Salar
Published: June 2024

This article examines the constitutional challenges that lawmakers in the United States may face when devising legislation intended to increase the diversity of corporate boards of directors, based on factors such as gender and race. Specifically, the study evaluates two California statutes that imposed quota systems on private corporations in order to increase board membership by women and others from under-represented communities. The article then analyses the courts’ rationale for deeming the legislative measures unconstitutional and concludes by proposing that extra-governmental methods, such as shareholder activism or stock exchange-imposed diversity requirements, may prove more durable in advancing board diversity interests than legislation.

Authors: Ahmad Ibrahim Muhammad , Saleh Muhammad Musa , Garba Abubakar
Published: June 2024

Islamic Finance began its modern history some decades ago. Since then it has achieved impressive results and made inroads into the conventional financial system. The premise of the Islamic Finance paradigm is in fact founded on Maqasid al- Shari’ah (objectives of Islamic law) which establish the socially responsible vision and objectives of the Islamic Financial system. The basic requirement of Islamic Finance is compliance with Islamic law. This article investigates whether the principles of Shari’ah which underpin Islamic Finance are being complied with. The methodology of the study is both doctrinal and qualitative. The study finds the need for strict adherence to the principles of Shar’ah in the midst of tempting accommodation of Conventional Financial principles. Since the inherent strengths of Islamic Finance contributed to its viability and resilience, the study recommends that this foundation be enhanced for its sustainability as a competitive form of financial mediation. The sourcing of sufficiently skilled experts in finance and Shari’ah, continuous human capital development and massive awareness campaigns, among others, cannot be overemphasized.

The study involves the design, 3D modeling, planning, and monitoring of the work to assess the advantages and limitations of BIM through a real simulation. The methodology comprises theoretical foundations, 3D modeling, budgeting, and work monitoring. The project commenced with a 2D blueprint using Autodesk AutoCAD, followed by 3D modeling in Autodesk Revit. The resultant building, serving as an information system with a database and 3D modeling, allows for automated budgeting. The advantages of BIM encompass an interface between project and program, an interface between software, realistic renderings, precise material specifications, and family modeling. Limitations include the absence of material families, reformatting of Autodesk Revit tables when transferred to the Microsoft Excel program, generic family models with distorted renderings of reality, and heavy files. Despite these limitations, the implementation of BIM in buildings proves beneficial for projects. Collaborative work among stakeholders, optimization of project stages, and the reduction of expenses and rework can be achieved.

Освіта ромського населення в Словацькій республіці: понятійно-категорійний апарат
Authors: Лабош К. Я.
Published: June 2024

Стаття присвячена дослідженню понятійно-категоріального апарату освіти ромського населення в Словацькій Республіці. Мета дослідження полягає у систематизації та узагальненні знань про освіту ромів, що сприятиме вирішенню існуючих проблем та розробці нових підходів для забезпечення їхніх освітніх прав. Використано методи аналізу, синтезу, критичного аналізу, дедукції та індукції. Виявлено, що понятійно-категоріальний апарат відіграє ключову роль у розумінні освітніх потреб ромів і розробці ефективних стратегій для їх вирішення. Охарактеризовано основні терміни та концепції, що стосуються освіти ромського населення. Встановлено, що культурні, мовні та історичні контексти ромської громади повинні враховуватись у освітніх програмах для створення інклюзивного та рівноправного середовища. Узагальнено специфічні виклики, з якими стикається ромське населення, зокрема дискримінація та нерівний доступ до освіти. Теоретичне значення дослідження полягає у поглибленні розуміння понятійно-категоріального апарату освіти ромського населення. Виявлено, що важливим аспектом є інтеграція ромських традицій та мови в освітній процес, що сприяє збереженню культурної ідентичності та підвищенню мотивації до навчання. Окрім цього, дослідження показало необхідність врахування специфічних культурних та історичних контекстів у розробці освітніх програм, що сприятиме створенню більш інклюзивного середовища для ромської громади. Показано, що розвиток освіти ромів є комплексним процесом, який потребує врахування широкого спектру соціальних, культурних та економічних чинників. Підкреслено важливість адаптації освітніх програм та методик викладання до специфічних потреб ромів, що сприяє підвищенню їхньої залученості та успішності у освітньому процесі. Дослідження також наголошує на необхідності міждисциплінарного підходу та залучення громадських організацій для більш ефективного впровадження освітніх ініціатив. Подальші дослідження мають зосередитися на емпіричному аналізі ефективності освітніх ініціатив та впровадження нових підходів, що сприяють поліпшенню доступу до освіти для ромів. Тип статті: теоретична.

The primary objective of this research is to assess the psychometric properties of the Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ). Comprising twenty-nine items, the questionnaire was administered to a sample of 922 students aged between 14 and 22 years (74,0% of the respondents were female). Confirmatory factor analysis was employed to scrutinize the questionnaire, utilizing fit indices for assessment. Results indicate that the data sufficiently support the proposed model. Upon exclusion of item BPAQ4, the four-factor structure of the Slovak version of the questionnaire was corroborated: ?2 (343) = 922,118; p < 0,001; RMSEA = 0,043 (90% CI 0,039–0,046); CFI = 0,970 and TLI = 0,967. Further examination through measurement invariance analyses revealed equivalence in factor structure and factor loadings between male and female participants. Reliability assessment of the tool, as measured by coefficients ? and ?, demonstrated satisfactory to high levels, with individual subscales ranging from ? = 0,676 to ? = 0,800, and from ? = 0,671 to ? = 0,780, respectively.

In the article, we focus our attention on the development of life skills that equip children with strong thinking, so that they can navigate different aspects of life and become responsible, independent and capable individuals. We categorize life skills and describe the process and methods of their development. We present some ideas for evaluating individual skills as well as proposals for procedures for their introduction and reinforcement.
