The Power of Persuasive Language in Judicial Opinions
Authors:   Faculty of Education, Kampala International University, Uganda, Samuel J. Kakungulu
Published: February 2025

Judicial opinions wield immense power, not only in shaping the outcomes of legal disputes but also in molding societal norms and public perceptions of justice. This paper examines the persuasive tools embedded in judicial language, exploring its symbolic enactment of authority, its rhetorical techniques, and its impact on legal interpretation. By dissecting the use of analogies, metaphors, emotive language, repetition, and parallelism, the analysis illuminates how judges craft their reasoning to establish authority, persuade audiences, and legitimize decisions. Moreover, it underscores the ethical considerations and responsibilities accompanying such linguistic choices. As a communicative enterprise, the law depends on its language for both clarity and persuasion, making rhetorical skills a cornerstone of judicial practice. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of rhetorical training for judges and advocates, suggesting that further research into the evolution of judicial communication can enhance understanding of its role in shaping law and society.

Keywords: Judicial opinions, persuasive language, legal rhetoric, analogies, metaphors.

Antibiotic This study explores the role of entrepreneurship in achieving financial independence and fostering community development, with a specific focus on gender and societal norms. The problem addressed is the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs due to cultural expectations, limited access to resources, and difficulties in balancing family responsibilities with business operations. The purpose of this research is to examine how women-led businesses contribute to financial independence and whether societal norms support or hinder their entrepreneurial endeavors. A stratified random sampling method was used to select 180 participants, including both male and female entrepreneurs from diverse industries and geographical regions. Data was collected using a structured survey with Likert-scale and open-ended questions, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to identify trends and challenges. The results indicate that entrepreneurship is widely seen as a pathway to financial independence. However, many respondents, particularly women, reported challenges in securing funding and balancing business with family obligations. Despite these obstacles, women-led businesses were found to significantly contribute to community development by providing employment and creating opportunities for others. In conclusion, while women entrepreneurs face substantial barriers, their businesses play a vital role in both economic and social empowerments. Policy interventions that address these challenges are necessary to fully harness the potential of women-led entrepreneurship.

Published: February 2025

Population issues present a significant challenge for Indonesia, impacting social, economic, and environmental well-being. High population growth, uneven distribution, and the need for improved human resource quality are critical concerns demanding attention. This literature review analyzes population control policies implemented by the Indonesian government, particularly those initiated by the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN). Focusing on the Family Planning Village (KB Village) program, this study examines its approach to improving community quality of life through family planning, education, health, and economic empowerment. The review reveals that effective population control extends beyond birth rate reduction to encompass efforts that balance population growth with socio-economic development. The success of such programs is influenced by factors including effective communication, resource availability, implementer disposition, and a supportive bureaucratic structure. Therefore, this review argues that strengthening the capacity of regional bureaucracies, especially in high-growth areas, is crucial for achieving sustainable population control.

Authors: Jettah Raphael Ndaro , Pauline Robert , Kisaka Maro Muhochi
Published: February 2025

Violence against women is a global challenge affecting the survivors of violence, their families, and the country at large. While the prevention of violence against women is inevitable for the wellbeing of a nation, yet its preventive measures are vested in the hands of entities with limited capacity to handle it. This study was conducted in Tarime, a district located in the Lake Victoria Zone, to investigate violence against women. Specifically, the study examined the women’s experience of violence, the determinants of violence against women, and analysed the current preventive mechanism. A random sample of 97 households was used. All women aged 15 years and above were interviewed from these households, making a total of 149 interviewees. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and binary regression techniques. Findings revealed that nearly all women had experienced at least some form of violence in their lifetime, and a substantial proportion of women experienced violence in the past 12 months before the period of this survey. The less targeted, less extreme, and violent acts which lacked substantial public discourse were mostly reported to have been experienced by most women. Violence was more severe among women aged between 20-34; an increase in age by one year, as well as being a child to the household head, decreased the likelihood of respondents reporting to have experienced violent acts. Protection committees were not created as proposed by NPA- VAWC. Based on the findings, this study recommends increasing programmes of awareness creation for community transformation, establishing protection entities as per NPA-VAWC guidelines, designing and using strategies and action plans to guide implementation, enhancing the capacity of local leaders to handle violence cases, and establishing a harmonised system for capturing currently unreported incidences of violence cases.

The study used annual data ranging from 1991 to 2022 for time series model analysis. The results of the analysis show that the variables used have long-term equilibrium associations with GDP. After differencing once and considering three periods back goods and services exported revealed a significant and positive sign connection with GDP in the short term. Furthermore, imports show a significant and positive relationship with GDP in the short term. The paper also recommends that more investment should be made in production areas to promote exports; this enables maintainable and inclusive growth.
Factors Influencing Adoption of Fintech among Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (Saccos) in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania
Authors: Rwechungura Kamugisha
Published: February 2025

The adoption of financial technology (Fintech) has grown globally due to the demand for easily accessible, reasonably priced, and convenient financial services, along with the rapid improvements in digital technology. Even though fintech adoption is rising globally, most African financial institutions, particularly in microfinance, have not adopted it. Therefore, this study examined the factors influencing the adoption of Fintech in Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOs) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The study employed a cross-sectional design, and the research approach was quantitative. The study employed primary data collected using structured questionnaires distributed to 138 SACCOs officials. The study had seven independent variables: knowledge, cost, accessibility, technology rating, staff readiness, and technology trust. On the other hand, the study had one dependent variable: fintech adoption. The model of analysis employed is multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that knowledge, cost, accessibility, and technology ratings were positive and statistically significant (p<0.05) influencing fintech adoption. This study recommends that the Tanzania Cooperative Development Commission encourage SACCOs to use fintech more widely by addressing these factors, which would ultimately help Tanzania’s financial ecosystem become more technologically advanced and inclusive.

Semiotic Analysis of Popular Love Songs
Authors: P. Pascua Jr David
Published: February 2025

The integration of songs into language and literature pedagogy has emerged as a promising approach to enhance student engagement and learning. Literature, including song lyrics, offers a rich source for developing vocabulary, grammatical competence, cultural awareness, and communicative abilities. Consequently, incorporating songs into educational contexts has the potential to significantly enrich language learning experiences. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, song lyrics offer profound insights into cultural values and social contexts. This study investigated the semiotic dimensions of popular love songs to uncover the underlying symbolic representations and their potential pedagogical implications. Drawing on Charles Sanders Peirce’s Sign Theory, the research employed a semiotic analysis to explore how love is constructed and communicated through song lyrics. Examining prevalent symbols associated with love, this study aimed to contribute to a deeper understanding of the cultural and thematic richness embedded within musical compositions. Illuminating the intricate relationship between linguistic signifiers and symbolic meaning, this study sought to provide educators with valuable insights into the pedagogical potential of songs. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed to analyze a corpus of popular love songs. The study sought to identify dominant symbols of love, explore the rhetorical strategies employed in constructing these symbols, and develop potential pedagogical applications. Findings indicate that symbols such as “fall into your arms” and “climb every mountain” convey specific emotional and relational meanings. These findings provide a foundation for creating instructional activities that foster critical thinking, language development, and cultural understanding.

Authors: Krasniqi Nexhmi , Ymeri Armend
Published: February 2025

This study assesses the capacity of Photovoltaic (PV) Systems for Autonomous Irrigation in Kosovo, evaluating the feasibility and effectiveness of solar power in meeting the energy demands of agricultural water management. The study quantifies the potential of PV Systems to sustainably power Autonomous Irrigation technologies, considering Kosovo's unique geographical and climatic conditions. Key factors such as PV System efficiency, reliability under varying weather conditions, and economic viability compared to conventional energy sources are analysed. In practice, average daily solar radiation, often expressed as "peak sun hours" (kWh/m²/day), is a critical parameter for estimating PV energy generation. Geographic Information System (GIS) tools are employed to identify peak solar radiation periods, particularly in June, July, and August, when irrigation demand is highest. The findings of this study offer valuable insights into the integration of renewable energy solutions to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability in Kosovo.
Fracture Distribution Evaluation in Shallow Buried Sandstone Reservoir through 3D Seismic Attenuation Attributes and Frequency Analysis
Authors: Luo Chihui , Sun Xinge , Cui Yong , Liu Jia , Wang He
Published: February 2025

Fracture prediction poses a significant challenge in petroleum exploration and development. The unexpected intersection with fractures during drilling, particularly in horizontal drilling, can lead to substantial economic losses. Currently, there is no widely accepted or efficient method for accurately estimating fracture distribution in subsurface reservoirs. We propose a novel approach to evaluate fracture distribution in a shallow-buried, high-porosity sandstone reservoir. This method utilizes frequency analysis and seismic attenuation calculations while minimizing artificial influence. By analysing the frequency spectrum, we can identify the effective high and low frequencies that reveal the impact of fractures on the seismic bandwidth. We generate seismic attenuation attributes related to the quality factor using the spectral ratio method. Finally, we calculate seismic attenuation based on the differences between high and low frequencies. Areas with notable disparities in high-frequency and low-frequency attenuation indicate the presence of fracture corridors. This proposed method has successfully interpreted the fracture distribution responsible for drilling failures in heavy oil production within the reservoir.

Published: February 2025

The phenomenon of problems faced in increasing the productivity of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in Indonesia is closely related to the mismatch between the composition of positions and the competencies possessed by ASN. This is further exacerbated by efforts to simplify the bureaucracy that have not been fully supported by increasing the ability and mastery of technology, which has the potential to hinder efficiency in public services. This article aims to analyze and describe 1) How the match between the composition and competency of the State Civil Apparatus affects the productivity of the bureaucracy in Indonesia; and 2) evaluate the effectiveness of bureaucratic simplification and equalization of positions in increasing the efficiency of decision-making and matching the composition of ASN with the existing workload. The research method used is a qualitative method. The data analysis used is an interactive model analysis consisting of three analysis components, namely: 1) Data Reduction; 2) Data Presentation; 3) Data Verification and Conclusion Drawing. The results of the article show that: 1) the mismatch between the composition and competency of ASN is still a major challenge in increasing the productivity of the bureaucracy in Indonesia. Countries with efficient bureaucratic systems such as Singapore and Estonia show that ASN placement based on strict competency evaluation can optimize performance, even though the age of the ASN is older. Therefore, Indonesia needs to adopt a more comprehensive approach, such as a continuous training system that is tailored to the needs of specific sectors, to improve the quality of ASN and streamline the bureaucratic structure to achieve higher productivity; 2) bureaucratic simplification and job equalization can match the composition of ASN with the workload more efficiently, allowing for faster and more responsive decision-making. An early retirement scheme can be a solution to replace less adaptive ASN with a workforce that is better prepared to face the challenges of technology and organizational dynamics. However, the success of bureaucratic simplification depends on the competence of the remaining ASN, who must be ensured to have skills that match the demands of change and the needs of the organization.

La lógica matemática: una ruta para fortalecer la comprensión de textos
Authors: Mora Muñoz César Antonio
Published: February 2025

La presente investigación es una consideración pertinente que busca desmitificar la división absurda heredada de la educación tradicional entre el estudio del lenguaje y la literatura de las matemáticas y la lógica, proponiendo un acercamiento a estas últimas a través del análisis de relatos y fragmentos breves de autores seleccionados. Vivimos en una sociedad con acceso a una información aparentemente infinita, pero que no sabe cómo ni tiene el tiempo de procesarla y convertirla en verdadero conocimiento, uno que se construye, no que se adquiere. La argumentación como base del lenguaje literario y la lógica matemática, entre otros métodos de abordaje intelectual, nos guía hacia un encuentro multidisciplinar donde los planteamientos no se encasillan en un lugar u otro, sino que se retroalimentan. Esta manera de percibir y cuestionar la ciencia y el mundo posee varios desafíos, no se puede plantear una completa y profunda formación del estudiante sin la disposición de padres de familia, directivos, familiares, miembros de la escuela, entorno cercano, etc. En realidad, ante las nuevas perspectivas sobre disciplinas tan necesarias como las matemáticas y la comprensión de los textos y el lenguaje, se hace muy difícil seguir sosteniendo una división tan arbitraria en el aula. Para el presente trabajo se realizaron encuestas y se llevó a cabo la tarea de observar clases y analizarlas para encontrar los desafíos y fortalezas y aprovecharlos en la propuesta. Partiendo de este estudio, se propone un test inicial, una guía docente que se llama a cabo en clase y un test final de evaluación de resultados para asegurar una metodología útil y pertinente que facilita el camino hacia una didáctica de lógica matemática a través del análisis de textos literarios. El proyecto tiene como propósito la aplicación de este ejercicio en el grado noveno de la Institución rural Vanguardia.

Published: February 2025

El desecho de medicamentos en la basura doméstica puede ser muy peligrosa para el medio ambiente. El presente trabajo buscó evaluar parámetros de toxicidad del contaminante emergente paracetamol. En los ensayos se utilizaron tres dosis de paracetamol (0,4 mg L-1, 0,5 mg L-1 y 0,6 mg L-1). Los resultados mostraron que la exposición aguda al paracetamol induce varios daños clastogénicos y aneugénicos en el test de A. cepa. No se encontró ningún efecto en la germinación. Aunque el paracetamol es un fármaco importante, también puede representar un riesgo significativo para la producción agrícola y la preservación del medio ambiente. Los resultados del presente trabajo corroboran datos anteriores y refuerzan que la exposición a contaminantes farmacéuticos puede representar un problema significativo para la producción de alimentos, el equilibrio ambiental y la preservación de especies.

Disposing medicines in the common domestic waste can be very harmful to the environment. The present work aimed to evaluate toxicity parameters of exposure to micropollutant acetaminophen. Three paracetamol doses (0.4 mg L-1, 0.5 mg L-1 and 0.6 mg L-1) were used in the tests. Results showed that acute exposure to paracetamol causes several chromosomal aberrations of both clastogenic and aneugenic nature in the A. cepa test, which are indicative of paracetamol genotoxic action. No effect in germination was found. Although paracetamol is an important pharmaceutical that contributes to human wellbeing, it may also represent a significant risk to agricultural production and environmental preservation. The results in the present work corroborate data from previous publications and reinforce that exposure to pharmaceutical micropollutants may represent a significant problem to food production, environmental balance and species preservation.

The humanity and sinlessness of Jesus Christ in carrying out His mission in the world, has always been an interesting theme and invites debate, both among theologians and secularists. Human weakness in understanding and accepting the fact of the dual nature of Jesus Christ, presents various skeptical views, rejections and refutations, including suspicion and doubt that in carrying out His mission, Jesus did not act in His sinless human nature, but in His holy divine nature. However, whatever the forms of rejection, suspicion and debate against that view, the truth of God's Word is accurate evidence and at the same time an answer. This study aims to test the truth that during His mission in the world, Jesus was a true sinless human being, using a method using a qualitative approach using secondary techniques through literature studies.The humanity and sinlessness of Jesus Christ in carrying out His mission in the world has always been an interesting theme and has invited debate, both among theologians and secularists.

Authors: Muñoz Tejeira Edgardo Abdiel
Published: February 2025

Se realizaron colectas de sedimento marino en seis estaciones en Bahía Limón, Colón, Panamá, previó a la construcción de un muelle en el año 2016. El objetivo del estudio era determinar la línea base de las especies encontradas en el bentos marino. Las muestras se colectaron usando una draga Ponar con tres réplicas por sitio. Las muestras fueron preservadas y etiquetadas para su posterior identificación en el laboratorio. Se realizaron pruebas estadísticas (Shapiro Wilk, Levene, ANOVA, conglomerados, diversidad de Shanon, Simpson y Equidad) con los datos obtenidos. El phylum Mollusca fue el más dominante con el 75 % de la abundancia de especies. Las pruebas dieron como resultado que los datos tenían una distribución normal. La ANOVA aplicada indicó que no había diferencias significativas entre los grupos (> 0.05). La diversidad de Shannon para toda el área fue alta (2.103), además Simpson y la Equidad  también dieron valores altos de 0.8701 y 0.9571, respectivamente. Los datos indican que a medida que se aleja de la costa la diversidad y equidad tienden a aumentar. El análisis de conglomerados indicó similitudes entre estaciones de al menos el 75 %, siendo las estaciones 2 y 3 las más similares.

Published: February 2025

O presente artigo tem como objeto o discurso poético de Pedro Antônio Gabriel Anhorn materializado em seu perfil no Instagram @eumechamoantônio. Suas obras são poemas construídos por meio da interação entre imagem e palavra, ambas desenhadas em guardanapos e postadas em redes sociais. O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi analisar as características presentes no discurso digital da rede social (Instagram) do poeta Pedro Gabriel. E especificamente: i) compreender os poemas de Pedro Gabriel do ponto de vista linguístico-discursivo, considerando os suportes de materialização como produtores de significação em uma dada conjuntura histórico-social e ii) Refletir sobre o impacto da web na produção literária contemporânea que utiliza as redes sociais no seu processo de criação. Esta pesquisa é qualitativa, fundamentada na metodologia da Análise de Discurso (AD) de linha francesa. Por meio dessa metodologia, os trajetos de estudo caracterizam-se por um constante “ir e vir” entre teoria e análise, no qual prevalece a relação descrição e interpretação, por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e interpretação do corpus selecionado (análise discursiva). Dentre os principais conceitos e teóricos em diálogo na pesquisa destaca-se: Marie-Anne Paveau (2021) e Pierre Lévy (2011) para a discussão, respectivamente, sobre discurso digital e cibercultura.

Published: February 2025

Nos quadrinhos, de maneira geral, o balão de fala e o letreiramento são elementos que compõe a sua parte textual, podendo determinar a maneira na qual a parte escrita é lida e compreendida neste sistema. A pesquisa aqui desenvolvida foca nestes elementos, enfatizando o seu papel na caracterização de personagens em quadrinhos. Para tal, é analisado o balão de fala e letreiramento das personagens Sonho, Morte e Delírio na obra Sandman (1980-1996), de Neil Gaiman et al., observando como estes elementos refletem a sua caracterização dentro da narrativa. Este artigo usa como base os estudos desenvolvidos por Cagnin (1975), Cirne (1972), Christin (2013), Groensteen (2015), Postema (2018), entre outros pesquisadores da área e de áreas relacionadas, bem como os apontamentos feitos por Todd Klein, o letreirador de Sandman, em seu blog sobre o assunto.
Advances in metagenomic sequencing for infectious disease management: From pathogen profiling to antibiotic resistance
Authors: Malik Pratyush
Published: February 2025

Metagenomics has revolutionized the study of infectious diseases by enabling the analysis of
microbial communities without the need for cultivation. This approach, powered by high-throughput
sequencing technologies like 16S rRNA sequencing and shotgun metagenomics, allows the
identification of both culturable and unculturable microbes, providing a comprehensive view of
pathogens. Metagenomics offers critical insights into microbial diversity and interactions, particularly
in polymicrobial infections, respiratory and gastrointestinal infections, and bloodstream infections.
Advancements in bioinformatics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning have enhanced the
accuracy and speed of metagenomic data interpretation, aiding pathogen detection, antibiotic
resistance surveillance, and personalized treatment strategies. Despite challenges such as sample
complexity, host DNA interference, and data interpretation difficulties, metagenomics continues to
evolve as a crucial tool for diagnostics and therapeutic development. Future research aims to address
current gaps, including integrating AI into metagenomics for more precise pathogen profiling and
developing targeted therapies based on microbial communities. Ultimately, metagenomics holds the
potential to transform infectious disease management, offering real-time diagnostics, better global
surveillance, and the promise of personalized medicine in the fight against emerging pathogens.

Published: February 2025

This study evaluates the performance of Stacked Sparse Autoencoder (SSAE) combined with Support Vector Machine (SVM) against a standard SVM for classification tasks. We assessed both models using accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and F1 score. The SSAE Support Vector Machine significantly outperformed the standard SVM, achieving an accuracy of 89% compared to 37%. SSAE also achieved higher precision (87% vs. 75%) and sensitivity (89% vs. 37%), with an F1 score of 88% versus 36% for the standard SVM. These results indicate that SSAE enhances the model’s ability to capture complex patterns and provide reliable predictions. This study highlights the effectiveness of SSAE in improving classification performance, suggesting further research with larger datasets and additional optimization techniques to maximize model efficiency
