This study aims to analyze the effect of population density on electricity consumption and evaluate the potential use of solar panels as a solution to overcome energy waste in urban areas, especially on Jalan Kapten Muhammad Jamil Lubis, Medan Tembung, Medan, North Sumatra. The method used is qualitative research with a literature study approach, which involves collecting data from various written sources, such as journals, books, and research reports. The results of the study indicate that the high population density in this area contributes to inefficient energy consumption. Factors such as people's habits in using electronic devices, less than optimal energy infrastructure quality, and increased energy demand due to economic activities are the main causes of energy waste. Solar panels are identified as a potential solution to overcome these problems. This technology is able to convert solar energy into electricity efficiently, even in areas with varying weather. In addition to supporting environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions, solar panels also utilize empty spaces such as building roofs, making them suitable for densely populated areas such as Medan Tembung. This study concludes that the adoption of solar panels, supported by government regulations, incentives, and community education programs, can be a strategic step in creating a more efficient and environmentally friendly energy system. Further research involving field trials is recommended to support wider implementation of this technology.
Implementasi Virtual Reality dalam Kegiatan Pembelajaran di Sekolah Dasar
Authors: Amdika Styadi  , Lucia Sri Istiyowti
Published: December 2024

Many students find traditional learning methods to be uninteresting, which can lead to a lackluster classroom environment. This is often due to teachers delivering material that fails to engage students and a lack of interaction between teachers and students. As a result, students may struggle to understand the material presented to them, leading to suboptimal learning outcomes. However, advancements in technology offer solutions to this issue. The use of Virtual Reality (VR) is an effective way to support learning and make it more engaging. Studies show that incorporating VR in elementary school mathematics education can be particularly helpful. VR allows for a more realistic and contextual learning experience, making topics that are often considered difficult or boring more interesting and interactive. In addition, research has shown that technology such as Wolfram's Mathematica can improve students' understanding of mathematical concepts and computational skills. This research aims to explore teachers' understanding of the potential of VR as a learning medium and how it can be used to visualize abstract concepts that are challenging to grasp. By implementing this technology, we can improve learning outcomes for elementary school students.

Philosophy of the Humanities: the Nature of the Humanities
Authors: Woudenberg Dr. Rene van
Published: December 2024

One question for the burgeoning field of ‘philosophy of the humanities’ is whether there is anything that binds the humanistic disciplines together—whether the humanities ‘have a (communal) nature’. In recent years this question has received disparaging answers, for example in the work of Herman Paul. In this presentation I argue, against this disparaging answer. I argue that the humanities do have a (communal) nature, and that they are marked out by the objects they study. These objects have, in the main, three properties that the objects studied in the natural sciences lack, the properties (1) of being intentionality saturated, (2) of having meaning, and (3) of embodying value. I also indicate how the humanities differ from the social sciences.

This presentation is based on my forthcoming book, that will be published by Oxford University Press, A Philosophy of the Humanities, written with Stephen Grimm (New York), and Rik Peels (Amsterdam).
Anti-Theory in Philosophy: A Case for Pragmatism
Authors: Nevo Dr.Isaac
Published: December 2024

In this paper, I discuss the tendency in philosophy to become an excessively theoretical enterprise, an enterprise aspiring to such highly generalized viewpoints on reality, mind, language, or ethics that its “findings” lose touch with lived experience and with broader intellectual concerns and become highly “scholastic,” wedded to abstractions, ideals, dichotomies, and principles that do not find any clear application in everyday life and discourse. I distinguish two types of reaction to this philosophical tendency, a quietist versus a pragmatist reaction, the one being entirely hostile to philosophical thought, the other attempting to revitalize philosophy with practical, or dynamic, models of philosophical activity. Following Dewey, I offer a diagnosis of over-theorizing in philosophy, and suggest a remedy, focusing on the inseparable connectedness of a philosophical observer with “objects” of her observation, be it reality, mind, value, or knowledge, which (so I claim) both motivates and delimits the philosophical aspiration for generality and transcendence. Along the way I discuss relevant contributions by Wittgenstein, James, Dewey, Putnam, Nagel, Elgin, Feyerabend, Williams, Chapel, Quine, Kitcher, and Pettit.
Experiencing Traumatic War Events: Multigenerational Family Patterns Affecting Coping Strategies
Authors: Slonim-Nevo Dr.Vered
Published: December 2024

The multigenerational approach extends our understanding beyond the here and now to ways in which family relationship patterns may pass down from generation to generation and influence the behavior of family members in the present. The emphasis is on how families deal with acute or chronic anxiety over generations – either that which stems from over-proximity or that which stems from excessive distance – through the creation of disconnects, emotional projections, and emotional triangles. Awareness of these intergenerational transmissions can help patients change their behavior, free themselves from habits and relationship patterns that imprison them and increase their personal and interpersonal differentiation.

Following the events of October 7th in Israel, many families experienced difficult and unusual events such as: being in the shelter for days waiting to be rescued, reading frightening messages screaming for help, children and adults defecating and vomiting in the shelter, watching the murder through the window or hearing "help" sounds near you, having family members murdered or kidnapped, or friends that were kidnapped or murdered.

In this presentation we will discuss how concepts of the multigenerational approach are related to the functioning of individuals and families who experience traumatic events during war. The concepts to be discussed are: Differentiation of the self, emotional triangles, the emotional system of the nuclear family, projection processes in the family, processes of intergenerational transfer, emotional disconnection, the order of siblings in the family, and emotional processes in society.

The examples in this presentation are from the Israeli context, while being aware of the great suffering of Palestinian families as well.
Green Urban Development: Engaging Ethnic Minorities via Generic Green Skills Training and Social Entrepreneurship Education
Authors: Pavlova Margarita
Published: December 2024

This presentation addresses the issues that are going across two themes of the conference: Adult and lifelong learning and Environmental studies and sustainability. It argues for the importance of adult education for effectively addressing sustainable urban development issues. In particular, this presentation examines the ways the development of generic green skills can be implemented to engage ethnic minorities in sustainable urban development. It presents the results of a qualitative study in Hong Kong that applied action research to empower this marginalized group through developing generic green skills and entrepreneurial competencies that can be applied in setting up green social enterprises. Fourteen ethnic minorities from the following backgrounds: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Burma, Nepal, and Kyrgyzstan took part in the study (four from our university). Surveys, interviews, and observations through the five-week workshop engagement were the main methods of data collection. Analysis used a theme-based approach. Themes such as entrepreneurial characteristics and actions, entrepreneurial mindsets and beliefs, and environmental awareness and their sub-sets were identified based on the literature review at the beginning of the study. The results demonstrate that participants valued their learning and were able to develop business plans for their enterprises. Partnerships between a university, NGOs, and religious institutions allowed for effective design and implementation of training. The main context for the project was waste management, which is a significant challenge in Hong Kong. Among the important findings from this study is the need to involve associations of ethnic minorities that can encourage members to try opportunities relevant to green transition.

Authors: Eckhaus Dr.Eyal
Published: December 2024

Background: This study presents a unique solution that illustrates how effective knowledge management and analysis can yield innovative insights, such as predicting a company's stock price. Specifically, the study explores the predictive power of combining sentiment analysis with latent profile analysis (LPA) for stock price forecasting, using a case study on Teva Pharmaceutical Industries. It examines how these techniques can contribute to the development of sustainable innovation strategies within organizations.

Methodology: a corpus of articles from two major sources was compiled. Automated content analysis, including sentiment analysis, was employed to assess the valence of each article. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was conducted using R, followed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using AMOS to finalize the model.

Findings: The study found that six out of eight independent profile segments demonstrated a higher coefficient of determination (R²) in predicting stock prices compared to unsegmented sentiment analysis. The regression model that incorporated segmented profiles exhibited significantly higher predictive power, validating the effectiveness of the proposed knowledge management and data analysis techniques.

Innovation: This research introduces a novel approach by integrating sentiment analysis and LPA within the framework of knowledge management, significantly enhancing the predictive accuracy of stock prices. The study underscores the potential of these techniques to support sustainable innovation strategies within organizations, offering a unique contribution to the field.
Labour Market Inclusiveness as a Key Challenge Facing Society
Authors: Raczek Agnieszka
Published: December 2024

The labor market in Poland is extremely dynamic and diverse, depending on the region, industry, and job group. However, the key challenge remains acquiring competent employees.

The inclusiveness of the labor market is one of the extremely important and current topics that both companies and societies in many countries are dealing with. Inclusiveness concerns the aspect of broadly understood diversity-in terms of different generations present on the labor market, as well as in the international and multicultural dimension, because never before have we had to deal with such a huge migration of societies as we do now. The study analyzed selected factors shaping the labor market of the metropolis, e.g. economic revitalization programs, i.e. programs aimed at investing money in creating places for foreigners; educational and training initiatives (e.g. Polish language courses, cultural training/workshops, enabling understanding of cultural differences, and thus more effective assimilation of foreigners in the metropolis.

The interdisciplinary research project, part of which will be presented during the conference, aimed to try to obtain answers to such questions as:
Citizen Participation in the Built Environment: In a Commons Perspective
Authors: Boer Arie den
Published: December 2024

Citizen participation in the built environment in this abstract covers the participation through the lens of the citizens. The built environment is seen as a common good between private, public and club goods with high subtractability and difficult exclusion as defined by Elinor Ostrom (the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences), who developed the Institutional Analysis and Development framework (IAD). IAD is a tool for understanding the decision-making process and the governance of the common pool resource. In this abstract the selected common pool resource is a demolished lock in Alblasserdam, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands. A group of citizens starts an initiative with presenting a plan of approach to restore the lock to the local government. This initiative is a bottom-up initiative. The lock is in a primary flood defense (dyke). This means in Netherlands that the Waterboard Rivierenland, Province Zuid-Holland and Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management are stakeholders. IAD visualizes the position of the exogenous variables (biophysical / material conditions, attributes of the community and rules), the action arena with participants and action situations, interaction between action arena and valuative criteria, outcomes and feedback to action arena and exogenous variables. An initiative can also be top-down in the case that citizens are asked to participate and hybrid in the case of alternate initiatives. Furthermore the participation ladder (Sherry Arnstein in 1969) with 8 rungs can be used to value the engagement of the citizens in the decision making process as nonparticipation, degrees of tokenism and degrees of citizen power.
“Lo Vamos a Conseguir”: Instapoetry as a Vehicle for Feminist Movements in the Contemporary Spanish Context
Authors: Evans Louise Elizabeth
Published: December 2024

In this addition to the European Journal of English Studies special issue, the author reflects on the employment of social media application Instagram by contemporary poets in peninsular Spain as a tool for projecting societal concerns specifically related to feminism and social equality movements, proliferated by technological affordances such as the graphological hashtag (#). By analysing the connections between poetry, digital culture and feminist activism, this article examines the poetry of popular Instapoetas Elvira Sastre and Leticia Sala and its underlying feminist message, as well as the implications of writing in and of the so-called “fourth wave of feminism.” Where the poetic content, visual imagery and captioned employment of hashtags are seen to perpetuate the work of offline, feminist activism, Instapoetry can be seen as an assistant or a “valid contribution” to collective action.
The Significance of the Name ‘Themba’ in GB Sinxo’s UNomsa
Authors: Mtumane Dr. Zilibele
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the significance of the name ‘Themba’ in GB Sinxo’s novel titled UNomsa. This designation is based on the role played by and personality traits of the character who bears it in the novel. The origin and meaning of this label will be the subject of discussion in this discourse. The name is chosen as it has an impact on the personality traits of and the role played by the character who bears it. Also, it is vital in the development of the plot of the story. Even though there are other labels with an impact on the characters who bear them, names of such characters are not part of the discussion in this presentation, due to space constraints. These are designations such as ‘Nomsa’, ‘Nongendi’, ‘Velesazi’ and ‘Nomashwa’. The names of yet other characters, who are not considered for this presentation, do not have any importance regarding the personality traits of and role played by their bearers. These are labels of secondary or foil characters who play supportive or minor roles in the text. Even so, some of these personae will be referred to in the discussion, as they are associated with the character whose name is analyzed in the paper.
"Femen’s Colonial Feminism: The Ongoing Colonization of Muslim Women’s Bodies"
Authors: Kebsi Dr.Jyhene
Published: December 2024

On March 11th, 2013, the Tunisian ex-Femen member Amina Sboui posted a bare-breasted photo of herself on Facebook. Sboui’s topless photo created a big controversy in Tunisia where most Tunisians felt shocked and irritated by it. In order to support Sboui, the topless group Femen launched an International Topless Jihad campaign during which its members asked women to post bare-chested pictures of themselves so that they express their solidarity with Sboui and other “oppressed” Muslim women. The rhetoric and tactics of Femen associated veiling with oppression and unveiling with liberation. Femen’s Islamophobic speech offended Muslim women worldwide. My presentation offers an evaluation of Femen’s potential to achieve change in Tunisia. I argue that while Sboui’s bare-breasted activism contributes to the diversity of Tunisian feminist activism, the topless method advocated by Femen is counter-productive in this Muslim-majority country. Accordingly, my speech gives an overview of the long struggle for women’s rights in Tunisia in order to show the absence of a need for Femen’s imperial “saving.” The analysis discusses Femen’s contradictory topless feminism through a focus on the inconsistencies and inaccuracies of the group’s “liberatory” campaign. My presentation explores the ineffectiveness of bare-breasted feminism and its inability to advance women’s rights in Tunisia.
Nineteenth-Century Houses of Karachi -Pakistan: 3 Case-Studies
Authors: Laiq Wajeeha
Published: December 2024

Karachi since its progression from 17th century onwards, remain center of attraction for multiple ethnic groups due to its economic potential. These groups ranging from Muslims, Hindus, Britishers, Parsi, Jewish etc. All lived in harmony, respecting each other sects, socio-cultural beliefs and principles. However; their respective housing units constructed during 19th century, offer some distinctive architectural characteristics which corresponds to their socio-spatial needs and lifestyle. This study highlighted those space sequence (open, semi open, covered), functional area classifications (private and public zones), material, construction style and other theoretical details which corresponded to their specific cultural beliefs. It also reflected the homogeneous character of Karachi city’s built historic fabric; that have never discussed. Methodology adopted for this study comprised of comparative case-studies based documentation, their interpretation and analysis. Some tools used for this study include interviews, field documentation, site-visits and historical records. The research concluded with identifying multiple spatial elements as Karachi’s architecture that were resultant of not only socio-cultural setup but its connection with city’s climate.
