Confrontation Between Tradition and Modernity：The Female Image and Female Consciousness in the Internet Novel Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace
Authors: Wong Connie Chee Ming
Published: November 2024

In recent years, court themes have been loved by the public, especially female characters. This can not only glimpse the reader's interest orientation, but also glimpse the novelist's creative intentions, what is the reproduction of female image shaping and the female consciousness? Does this reproduction have the support of a realistic basis or condition? For example, the original novel Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace is very popular among readers. The novel constructs a feudal autocratic patriarchal society, women of the harem exist as tools for ‘serving the emperor and prospering the children’ and they are in an extremely passive state in a relationship between the sexes. However, with the change of the times, the status of women has gradually improved, and many classic female figures have followed the growth rules from simple to complex, from obscurantism to awakening. For example, Ru Yi always had great expectations of the emperor in the early period, and no matter how hurtful the emperor said, she firmly believed that the emperor loved her. It was not until the later period when various contradictions between Ru Yi and the emperor appeared, such as the emperor listened to imperial astronomer say that Ru Yi killed their son, mistakenly thought that Ru Yi had an affair with his bodyguard Ling Yun Che etc, then she realized that the emperor had changed become suspicious and selfish. At the end of the story, Ruyi chooses to cut a line with the emperor by cutting his hair, and sticks to the good oath he took with the emperor to die. From the above examples, we can see that Ruyi innocently guarded her love with the emperor from the beginning, to the emperor’s various misunderstandings about her later, which prompted her to awaken her sense of autonomy. Therefore, this article mainly uses the online novel Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace as an analytical text, hoping to analyze what kind of female characteristics are through the female characters in the novel text, subverting the standards set by people in ancient times for “femininity”, and further explaining how the creation of online novels reproduces the characteristics of modern women.
The Origin and Evolution of Chinese Settlements in Yishun, Singapore (1819-1991)
Authors: Ni William
Published: November 2024

The kampong spirit is regarded as the foundation of Chinese culture in Singapore, and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has repeatedly emphasized the importance of "reshaping the kampong spirit" for Singaporean society. The "Kampong Spirit" was born in the early Chinese settlements in Singapore, and it is also the product of comprehensive factors such as specific history, geography, humanities, and political environment. From the unique perspective of historical settlement geography, combined with maps and archives, this paper uses the theory of man-land relationship to discuss the origin, basic characteristics and development of Chinese settlements in modern Singapore by taking the representative Chinese settlements in the Yishun area of Singapore as a case in the early days. Evolution. The origin of early Chinese settlements was based on the background of the relationship between people and land in the Seletar River Basin at the end of the 19th century; the southward immigration wave and the Raffles business policy since the opening of Singapore were also important macro-environmental supports for the origin of the settlements; the unique physical geography of the Yishun area Resources stimulated the vigorous development of planting economy, and the superposition of these factors promoted the development of immigrant settlement areas, and finally formed Chinese villages that combined blood, geography, industry and dialect ties. Before and after Singapore's independence in 1965, due to the acceleration of urbanization and the double influence of the ruling party's policy of "home ownership" to benefit the people, traditional Chinese settlements were gradually replaced by modern HDB communities, thus completing the temporal and spatial evolution of settlements .
New Voices of The Boudoir Repinings Poems: Research on Chinese Popular Songs’ Inheritance and Development of The Traditional Boudoir Repinings Poems
Authors: Wang Yi , Ser Wue Hiong
Published: November 2024

Boudoir-plaint poetry is a common category in classical Chinese poetry. With the development of women's social and economic status since the 20th century, literary works related to "boudoir-plaint" seem to have gradually faded out, while a large number of songs expressing women's emotions and situations have emerged in the modern and contemporary pop music, conveying similar or novel boudoir plaints in both ancient and modern ways. This article selects several highly representative Chinese pop songs depicting boudoir plaints composed between 1930 when pop songs proliferated and the beginning of 21st century that were originally sung by female singers in the past 100 years. In order to explore the inheritance and innovation of the Boudoir-plaints poetry over this period, lyrics will be analyzed in following three aspects, their reference and heritage of classical literature, the continuation and change of boudoir plaints, and the innovation and expansion in composition. It shows that the literary works about boudoir plaints not only did not fade out, but moved with the times, demonstrating a great diversity across time. The boudoir-plaint poets of the new era walk with the times, writing down the joys and sorrows of women of different social strata and life experiences, providing emotional sustenance and cognition for them, contributing to their temperamental refinement and self-cultivation. In this way, the spirit of the ancient poetry is inherited by modern pop songs.

Published: November 2024

The self-assessment system has become the key administrative approach for personal and corporate taxation in developed and developing countries, including Malaysia, first implemented in 2001 for companies, followed by individual taxpayers in 2004. It is one of the most significant transformations in Malaysia’s taxation, which requires higher tax awareness and improvements in voluntary tax compliance, especially for individual taxpayers. The present paper attempts to uncover the role of compliance strategies in increasing tax compliance and reveal the importance of tax learning and education, one of the central focuses of the tax authority in Malaysia. The study examines three Inland Revenue Board Malaysia’s (IRBM) current strategies: the threat of punishment, tax learning and education, and interaction with the tax authority. From a survey of 501 respondents, the results suggest that IRBM’s two current strategies (threat of punishment and tax learning and education) have a significant positive relationship with tax compliance behaviour among individual taxpayers. In addition, this study proposed enhancing tax learning and education by using current technology in delivering tax knowledge efficiently and embedding tax syllabus in schools and universities. The findings of this study provide significant and valuable input to the tax authorities, particularly IRBM, in evaluating current compliance strategies with the mission to cultivate tax compliance behaviour.

Authors: Al Mamun Abdullah , C. Shohel M. Mahruf , Roy Goutam , Sall Wendy
Published: November 2024

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the education systems in almost all parts of the world came to a sudden standstill followed by an expedited transition to emergency remote teaching and learning. Traditional universities in Bangladesh, a country with minimal resources and expertise in online teaching, also hurriedly transitioned to online education. This article focuses on the first phase of the pandemic and the impact that lockdown and social distancing had on the teaching and learning methods used in Bangladesh's higher education sector. The study highlights the need for strategic planning to improve future preparedness for emergency remote education. Using a mixed-method research approach, a dataset was developed through an online survey of public and private university teachers' views and experiences. Findings revealed that private university teachers tended to be significantly more engaged in emergency remote teaching and learning than their public sector peers. Although teacher participation was mainly driven by university initiatives, almost a quarter of this drive could be attributed to personal initiatives. Further, previous online teaching experience and training had a significant positive effect on full engagement. In addition to identifying important factors affecting the transition from conventional face-to-face to online teaching in Bangladesh, the recommendations for the future of emergency teaching and learning proposed in this article have important implications for higher education policy-makers in any resource-constrained context.
Assessing the Effect of Rewards on Academic Staff Performance in Uganda's Public Universities
Authors: Injikuru Justine , Etomaru Irene , Onen David
Published: November 2024

The persistent decline in academic staff performance at Uganda's public universities prompted this study to investigate the effect of rewards on their performance. Using an exploratory sequential research design, data were collected from 350 academic staff through self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and linear regression, alongside interviews with 13 academic staff, which were analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal that while rewards are a statistically significant predictor of performance, their influence is modest, accounting for 7.6% of the variation in teaching performance, 12.5% in research performance, and 9.6% in community service performance. These results suggest that while rewards positively impact academic performance, their limited predictive power indicates that other factors play a more significant role. The qualitative findings supported the quantitative data, highlighting the importance of additional influences such as professional development, workplace environment, and institutional support. As a result, it is recommended that public universities not only strengthen reward systems but also adopt a comprehensive approach that addresses these other factors. This holistic strategy will help create a more conducive academic environment and ultimately enhance the overall performance of academic staff

Authors: Basuoni Ahmed , Kamel Amany Hany Mohamed
Published: November 2024

Aim: This study aimed to assess oral health’s influence on COVID-19 outcomes in recovered individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions. Methods: In the main study employing a cross-sectional design based on a questionnaire survey, 464 Egyptian patients who had recovered from COVID-19 were enrolled, with 86 individuals who had pre-existing cardiovascular conditions included in a subgroup analysis. Oral health was classified as poor and good based on scores from an 18-question survey with higher scores indicating better health. Severe COVID-19 was defined by criteria that included elevated respiratory and heart rates, severe dyspnea low oxygen saturation, high fever, and need for hospitalization or ICU care. Participants’ recovery duration was classified into three groups: fast (≤ 2 weeks), intermediate (4 weeks), and delayed (6 weeks), characterized by symptom-free status. Moreover, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (> 18 mg/L) were considered elevated. Results: Our results revealed that cardiac patients with poor oral health showed a significant association with severe COVID-19 cases, elevated CRP levels (> 18 mg/L), and a prolonged recovery period (6 weeks) (p < 0.001). In contrast, participants demonstrating good oral health were associated with milder COVID-19 cases, lower CRP levels, and faster recovery (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our findings indicate a significant link between the condition of oral health and the experienced severity of COVID-19 in cardiac patients. Poor oral health was associated with elevated CRP levels, delayed recovery, and more severe symptoms. These results highlight the importance of good oral hygiene as a modifiable factor in reducing infection severity, especially in vulnerable cardiac populations.

The health sector in Yemen has experienced significant challenges due to prolonged conflict and suboptimal governance, making the development of digital health (DH) crucial. This study highlights the urgent need for the strategic implementation of health interventions in a country where fully functional healthcare facilities, low-income levels, damaged infrastructure, and suboptimal governance limit the effectiveness of traditional interventions. It discusses the prioritized step for advancing DH as a root issue that needs to be addressed first and highlights the importance of effective and efficient management of available resources. The development of telecommunication infrastructure is a fundamental pillar for advancing DH in the country. This comes along with consideration of effective management of the available resources and collaborative efforts among all parties, which are critically important to remove restrictions and constraints relevant to the administrative division and fragmentation of the healthcare system and objectively ensure universal coverage of telecommunications and healthcare services nationwide. By leveraging DH technologies (DHTs), Yemen can overcome these obstacles and revolutionize healthcare delivery. Implementing DHTs and related projects can ensure equitable access to high-quality healthcare services, particularly for impoverished individuals. However, the success of these initiatives relies on a well-established supportive policy and regulatory framework, improved public communication systems, targeted strategies, community engagement, and collaboration between medical service providers and community healthcare workers. Awareness campaigns, workshops, research collaborations, and engagement with international organizations are highly recommended to address challenges and foster the growth and development of DH in Yemen.

El dengue, conocido popularmente como fiebre rompehuesos, es una infección viral transmitida principalmente por el mosquito Aedes aegypti. En los últimos años, su incidencia ha aumentado considerablemente, posicionándose como una de las principales preocupaciones de salud pública a nivel internacional. Una manifestación particularmente grave del dengue es la fiebre hemorrágica del dengue (FHD), identificada por primera vez en la década de 1950, que actualmente representa una de las principales causas de mortalidad infantil en varios países afectados. El dengue es causado por cuatro serotipos del virus (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3 y DEN-4), los cuales se diseminan a través de la picadura de mosquitos infectados. La expansión geográfica de estos virus y de sus vectores se ha visto favorecida por el crecimiento urbano acelerado, que incrementa el contacto entre humanos y mosquitos, así como por deficiencias en el saneamiento y la gestión de recursos, creando ambientes propicios para la proliferación de Aedes aegypti. Este estudio analiza los factores que facilitan la propagación del dengue y destaca la necesidad de implementar estrategias integrales que incluyan el control vectorial, mejoras en las condiciones sanitarias y el fortalecimiento de los sistemas de atención médica para mitigar el impacto de esta enfermedad.

Teologi Keselamatan Berdasarkan Yesaya 1:1-20
Authors: La’ia Dewi , Ani Saputro Sigit Ani
Published: November 2024

This study explores the concept of salvation through the lens of Isaiah 1:1-20. Using textual analysis, this study explores the historical context and theological implications of Isaiah’s prophetic message to the nation of Judah. Through an exploration of the themes of sin, judgment, and redemption, this study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of soteriology. Isaiah paints a picture of a nation of Judah mired in idolatry and social injustice. His message emphasizes the gravity of the nation’s sin and God’s impending judgment. Yet, amidst the condemnation, Isaiah also offers hope and restoration. The concept of God’s initiative in salvation is central to Isaiah’s message. Despite human unworthiness, God nevertheless offers forgiveness and renewal. This study argues that Isaiah 1:1-20 presents a nuanced view of salvation, emphasizing both God’s grace and human responsibility. The prophet’s call to repentance and promise of restoration highlight the interactive nature of salvation. Ultimately, this study contributes to the ongoing debate over the nature of salvation and the role of the Old Testament in shaping Christian theology. Penelitian ini mendalami konsep keselamatan melalui lensa kitab Yesaya 1:1-20. Dengan menggunakan analisis teks, penelitian ini menggali konteks historis dan implikasi teologis dari pesan nubuat Yesaya kepada bangsa Yehuda. Melalui eksplorasi tema dosa, penghakiman, dan penebusan, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan kontribusi pada pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang soteriologi. Yesaya menggambar sebuah bangsa Yehuda yang tenggelam dalam penyembahan berhala dan ketidakadilan sosial. Pesannya menekankan beratnya dosa bangsa dan penghakiman Allah yang akan datang. Namun, di tengah-tengah kutukan, Yesaya juga menawarkan harapan dan pemulihan. Konsep inisiatif Allah dalam keselamatan menjadi inti dari pesan Yesaya. Meskipun manusia tidak layak, Allah tetap menawarkan pengampunan dan pembaruan. Penelitian ini berargumen bahwa Yesaya 1:1-20 menyajikan pandangan yang nuansa tentang keselamatan, menekankan baik rahmat Allah maupun tanggung jawab manusia. Seruan nabi untuk bertobat dan janji pemulihan menyoroti sifat interaktif dari keselamatan.

The era of technological disruption has had a significant impact on the lives of teenagers, especially those belonging to generation Z. This research aims to explain the importance of the role of Christian religious education in the family in order to stem the occurrence of moral degradation among generation Z teenagers. The era of technological disruption has resulted in generation Z teenagers , experienced various problems of moral decline. Without realizing it, generation Z teenagers who basically master technology, on the other hand, are also affected by the negative things it causes. Some teenagers bully via social media because information is easily spread without a clear filter as to whether the information is true or false. Other teenagers commit impolite and indecent actions, after watching meaningless content such as pranks and pornographic content on YouTube. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method, namely by collecting data related to titles through reference books and journals. Then describe it to find important points that result in moral degradation. The results of the analysis of the role of Christian Religious Education are formulated into concepts and explained. The results of the research show that Christian religious education in the family by teaching moral values based on the Bible, is able to stem the moral degradation of generation Z teenagers due to technological disruption.Era disrupsi teknologi memberi dampak yang signifikan kepada kehidupan para remaja khususnya mereka yang termasuk generasi Z. Penulisan ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan pentingnya peranan Pendidikan Agama Kristen dalam keluarga guna membendung terjadinya degradasi moral diantara remaja generasi Z. Era disrupsi teknologi telah mengakibatkan kelompok remaja generasi Z, mengalami berbagai masalah penurunan moral. Tanpa disadari, remaja generasi Z yang pada dasarnya menguasai teknologi, disisi lain ikut terpengaruh dengan hal-hal negatif yang diakibatkannya. Beberapa remaja membullying melalui media sosial sehingga informasi yang belum jelas kebenarannya menjadi tersebar. Remaja lainnya melakukan aksi yang tidak sopan dan tidak senonoh, setelah menonton sebuah konten yang tidak berbobot seperti konten berbau asusila di Youtube. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif yakni dengan mengumpulkan data-data sehubungan dengan judul melalui buku-buku referensi, dan jurnal. Kemudian mendeskripsikannya untuk menemukan pokok penting yang mengakibatkan degradasi moral. Hasil analisis terhadap peran Pendidikan Agama Kristen dirumuskan menjadi konsep dan memaparkannya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa
Iman Yang Militan dan Tahan Uji dalam 1 Petrus 1:1-21

One of the challenges of Christianity today is that the congregation has abandoned its faith. The causal factors include Christianity as a mere religion, Christian descent without a true understanding of faith, and church teachings that do not emphasize understanding of faith in the congregation. The purpose of the study is to explain the understanding of faith that is militant and resistant to testing. If this faith is possessed by Christians, they are able to maintain their faith even though they face many challenges. This study uses a descriptive analysis method from the book of 1 Peter 1:1-21 supported by literature sources related to the verses. From the analysis of the material, it is concluded that militant and resistant faith is faith that is based on love, even though they do not see but believe and love. This level of faith will make Christians survive every challenge.Tantangan Kekristenan masa kini salah satunya adalah jemaat meninggalkan imannya. Faktor penyebabnya antara lain Kristen sekedar agama, Kristen keturunan tanpa pemahaman iman yang benar, dan pengajaran gereja yang tidak menekankan pemahaman iman dalam jemaat. Tujuan penelitian adalah memaparkan pemahaman iman yang militan dan tahan uji. Jika iman ini dimiliki orang Kristen, mereka mampu mempertahankan imannya walaupun menghadapi banyak tantangan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif analisis dari kitab 1 Petrus 1:1-22 didukung dengan sumber literatur yang berkaitan dengan nats tersebut. Dari Analisa bahan disimpulkan iman yang militan dan tahan uji adalah iman yang didasarkan kasih, sekalipun tidak melihat namun percaya dan mengasihi. Tingkat iman seperti ini akan menjadikan orang Kristen bertahan dalam setiap tantangan.

The magnetic cloud within an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) is characterized by high magnetic field intensities. In this study, we investigate the interaction of a magnetic cloud carrying a density structure with the Earth’s bow shock during the ICME event on 2023 April 24. Elevated abundances of cold protons and heavier ions, namely, alpha particles and singly charged helium ions, associated with the prominence plasma are observed within this structure. The plasma downstream of the bow shock exhibits an irregular compression pattern, which could be due to the presence of heavy ions. Heavy ions carry a significant fraction of the upstream flow energy; however, due to their different mass-per-charge ratio and rigidity, they are less scattered by the electromagnetic and electrostatic waves at the shock. We find that downstream of the shock, while the ion thermal energy is only a small fraction of the background magnetic energy, nevertheless increased ion fluxes reduce the characteristic wave speeds in that region. As such, we observe a transition state of an unstable bow shock in which the plasma flow is super Alfvénic both upstream and downstream of the bow shock. Our findings help with the understanding of the intense space weather impacts of such events.
