LEGAL NIHILISM AND LEGAL IDEALISM AS POLES OF MODERN RUSSIAN LEGAL CULTURE
Authors: Chaika Victoria , Kuznetsov Boris
Published: February 2025

The article presents two poles of modern legal culture in Russia: legal idealism and legal nihilism. The principle of polarity of value principles in culture is discussed in the prism of F. Nietzsche's views. The antinomy of cultural vectors is manifested in a particular type of national culture – in legal culture, in the form of legal nihilism and legal idealism. Both trends imply value series that reflect real attitudes of civil identity and require attention when formulating national ideology. In the context of the concept of the collective unconscious by C.G. Jung, as well as interpretations by R. Frager and D. Feidiman, collective, legal models of behavior are also part of the unconscious, generating value cultural attitudes, in the context of the presented article, we are talking about legal nihilism and legal idealism. Legal nihilism is a passive, negative attitude towards the law as an instrument for the implementation of civil will, which negatively affects the quality of social life. In the modern history of Russia, the vector of legal nihilism became widespread during the period of social crisis of the late 80s and early 90s. Legal idealism also gives rise to a crisis of faith in legislative bodies of power, since it presupposes ideals that are far from reality. In the prism of the ideas of N.Ya. Danilevsky, K.N. Leontiev, L.N. Gumilev, it is necessary
to interpret legal consciousness as a developing system. This perspective of understanding civil life allows us to conclude about the necessity of the existence of vectors of legal idealism and nihilism in a harmonious combination, since this is how dialectical mechanisms of movement into the future are formed.

Authors: Kotilevec Igor'
Published: February 2025

This article analyzes approaches to scaling the MQTT protocol and its modification, MQTT-SN, in machine-to-machine interaction systems. The architecture of the protocol, the publish/subscribe model, quality of service levels, packet structure, and issues related to the increasing number of devices and data volume are described. Problems such as broker overload and uneven load distribution are discussed. The analysis of scaling possibilities for the protocol is conducted, and architectural solutions are proposed to enhance its performance. The experimental part includes performance evaluation of the protocol through tests on bandwidth, packet loss, and latency under various loads. The results show that an increase in the number of devices leads to higher latencies and packet losses, highlighting the need for optimization. Recommendations for improving scalability are provided in conclusion.

Authors: Buenaño Calle Cecilia Herminia , Salgado Buenaño Sheyla Alexandra
Published: February 2025

La neuromotricidad está implicada en la lectoescritura, ya que esta última es una habilidad compleja que requiere de las habilidades motoras y visuales para su consolidación. Por tanto, desde el aula se debe procurar estimular estas habilidades, ya que una falencia en alguna de ellas repercutirá negativamente en el aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico en los estudiantes. Es así que, en el presente artículo se estableció como objetivo general diseñar una propuesta de intervención en neuromotricidad para mejorar los procesos de lectoescritura en niños de Educación Primaria con edades entre 6 a 7 años y, con ello, su rendimiento académico. Partiendo de las necesidades detectadas en los estudiantes se diseñaron actividades neuropsicológicas para trabajar los procesos neuromotrices y lectoescritores mediante la estimulación de la motricidad fina y gruesa, abordando la grafo plasticidad, coordinación motora, capacidad cinestésica, coordinación viso-manual y aprestamiento grafomotor, involucrando la construcción y lectura silábica, de palabras, oraciones y textos, significado y forma ortográfica, entonación, ritmo y comprensión reorganizativa. Se espera que las actividades propuestas mejoren los procesos de lectoescritura y el rendimiento académico en los estudiantes de Educación Primaria pertenecientes al Centro Educativo Aida Gallegos de Moncayo ubicado en la ciudad de Quito, Ecuador. Con el fin de evidenciar la efectividad del plan se planteó un sistema de evaluación que involucra tres momentos: pre-test, continua y post-test. Se espera que el plan de intervención pueda ser acogido por la institución educativa y replicado a otros cursos de Educación Primaria, y en su defecto en otros centros escolares.
The Need for a Comprehensive Teacher Education Policy in Ethiopia: A Policy Brief
Authors:   Kotebe University of Education, Yohannes Tesfaye Kidist , Tsegaye Mersha Gebrie
Published: February 2025

Ethiopia’s teacher education system has faced significant challenges over the years, including teachers' recruitment, development, career pathways, retention, and the misalignment between teacher training programs and the realities of classroom teaching. This policy brief addresses the critical need for reform in teacher education in Ethiopia, emphasizing its integral role in enhancing the overall quality of education across the nation. Despite acknowledging the importance of quality teaching in the 2023 Education and Training Policy, it fails to provide comprehensive guidelines for the recruitment, development, and retention of teachers. As Ethiopia strives to achieve its educational goals, including those outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for quality education, the deficiencies in teacher education represent a significant barrier to progress. The brief identifies key gaps in the 2023 Education and Training Policy, which inadequately addresses the critical aspects of teacher education provisions, and alignment with the Ethiopian Education Roadmap. To address these pressing issues, this brief outlines policy options, including the formulation of a dedicated teacher education policy that focuses on effective recruitment, training, and career pathways. Additionally, it recommends strengthening continuous professional development programs to enhance teacher skills and motivation, while ensuring alignment with the national education roadmap. Comparative analyses with successful international teacher education systems, such as those in Finland and Singapore, provide insights into effective strategies that could be adapted to the Ethiopian context. Without significant action in teacher education policy, Ethiopia will struggle to improve educational outcomes and meet its national development goals.

Authors: Osigwe Chinyelu Clementina , Okokon Jude Efiom , Wilfred Ukeagbu , Uwaeme Ugonma Florence , Johnny Imoh Imeh
Published: February 2025

Croton zambesicus Muell Arg. (Euphorbiaceace) a medicinal plant used traditionally in the treatment of diseases was evaluated for genotoxic and cytotoxic effects using Allium cepa (onion) test. The effect of the leaf extract on the root meristematic cells of Allium cepa was assessed macroscopically and microscopically using onion bulbs exposed to 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/mL concentrations of the extract. Tap water and methotrexate (0.1 mg/mL) were used as a negative and positive control respectively. The extract significantly (P < 0.05) caused concentration-dependent inhibition of the onion root growth. The extract exerted cytotoxic effects on cell division in A. cepa. The extract-induced chromosomal aberrations in A. cepa root tip cells and root growth inhibition were significant (P < 0.05) when compared with the control group. Treatment with the extract resulted in cell death, ghost cells, cells membrane damage, and binucleated cells. These results suggest that the leaf extract of Croton zambesicus possess cytotoxic and genotoxic effects on A. cepa.

Telfairia occidentalis Hook (Cucurbitaceae) is a vegetable employed in Ibibio traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases such as malaria, pains and fever among others. The stem extract of T. occidentalis (200-600 mg/kg) was evaluated for analgesic activity against experimentally-induced pains in mice using acetic acid-induced writhing, formalin-induced hind paw licking and thermally-induced pain models. The stem extract significantly (P < 0.05-0.001) inhibited pains in all the models tested in a dose-dependent fashion. The extract caused reduction in acetic acid-induced writhing, inhibited the two phases of formalin-induced pains with a more considerable inhibition of the second phase and prolonged the reaction time of mice dose - dependently in thermally-induced pain. The findings of this study show that the stem extract possess analgesic activity which confirms its use in traditional medicine in the treatment of pains.
Autokreacyjna perspektywa strategii radzenia sobie z lękiem egzystencjalnym przez aktywne edukacyjnie osoby starsze
Authors: Wąsińśki Arkadiusz , Fabiś Artur , Muszyński Marcin
Published: February 2025

W artykule skoncentrowano się na uchwyceniu autokreacyjnej perspektywy radzenia sobie z lękiem egzystencjalnym przez aktywne edukacyjnie osoby starsze. Na tym etapie życia świadomość zbliżającej się śmierci jest rozbudzana regresywnymi zmianami psychosomatycznymi własnego organizmu. Są one wyrazem stopniowej utraty sił witalnych i pogarszającego się stanu zdrowia, a także coraz częściej powtarzających się zdarzeń śmierci osób z własnego pokolenia. Pogłębiające się wewnętrzne napięcie wznieca doznania związane z trudnymi do zniesienia przejawami lęku egzystencjalnego. Interesująca jest więc dyskusja nad instrumentalnym i autokreacyjnym kontekstem uruchamianych strategii ochronnych. Próbę uchwycenia subtelnych aspektów tego fenomenu podjęto w podejściu badań jakościowych. Dwuetapowe badania przeprowadzono wśród słuchaczy UTW. Pierwszy etap badań wiązał się ze swobodną narracją badanych w formie wypowiedzi pisemnych. Wyszczególnione wstępne kategorie stały się kanwą dla drugiego etapu badań, polegającego na przeprowadzeniu wywiadów swobodnych ukierunkowanych. W toku analizy metodą 3C M. Lichtman wygenerowano strukturę strategii wyzwalających oraz blokujących osobową autokreację osób starszych.
Home from home: an auto/biographical narrative research pilgrimage
Authors: West Linden
Published: February 2025

The paper embodies a kind of research pilgrimage: informed by actual pilgrimage and the power of metaphor and expressive writing. The starting point is hesitant first steps under the gaze of scientific literalism as well as youthful conceit. It encompasses historical research on Richard Henry Tawney – a key figure in workers’ education. It was followed by conventional psychological research in the 1980s into working-class student experience, but this was challenged by those at its heart: listen to us for a change, they said. Eventually, there were steps towards what I now call auto/biographical narrative research, and the influence of European colleagues and feminism was important in finding a good enough research home, and eventually more authenticity and depth. The journey in fact became an explicit, joyful play of metaphor, intimacy, cultural politics, and narrative dialectics. It included a subjective journey home, encompassing different ways of seeing, literature, subjective and unconscious life, a vulnerable yet resilient humanity, self, other and otherness. And, in the context of the contemporary rise of racism and fundamentalism, a reconnection with parents and the gifts and goodness of a lost, agentic working-class culture. The paper is a kind of meditation on research and how it can help in the fundamental work of memory, to build a better, more socially just, inclusive, and reflexively conscious world.
Embracing my multiple selves. Adult education as a path of understanding
Authors: Formenti Laura
Published: February 2025

In this contribution, I track my professional path as a researcher, using some keywords to identify the main turning points. I try to show that my life – as any life – is the result of encounters, contexts, processes of which I have been part. It is also learning about stories. Growing older, and doing biographical research, I have learnt – and am still learning - to embrace the complexity of my experience, the shadows, the unaccomplished. I am grateful for the mysterious path that brought me, at a point, to do research in adult education. This kind of research is an extraordinary opportunity to become reflexive about learning, about myself as a learner, and as a human being, by answering the questions where, how, and from whom I have learnt? By talking about some stumbling stones and pilgrims I have met on my journey, I try to build a satisfying theory of life. Satisfying for me, of course. In this moment, at least.
A tribute to some leading lights of adult education of the 20th and 21st century
Authors: Bron Agnieszka
Published: February 2025

This article, written on the basis of personal memories, is about famous adult educators who have recently passed away. They were all university professors, five of them British and one German, who made a significant difference through their scientific work, through their social engagement and work for democracy in Europe and for social change in the world, and by contributing to the learning of their students and the public in general. The aim of this article is to write about them so that we do not forget them. This is particularly important for adult education as a social science discipline. Thus, it is a tribute to those who have passed away. These six scholars are: Lalage Bown, Chris Duke, John Field, Peter Jarvis, Joachim Knoll, and Teddy Thomas. In order to write this written memorial to their work, materials such as these researchers’ own publications, their CVs, and the obituaries written by other colleagues in newspapers and journals (International Journal of Lifelong Education, Education, The Guardian) or online on organizational websites (e.g. DVV, UNESCO and the universities they were active at) were used. The author had the privilege of meeting all of them. The aim of this exercise was therefore first and foremost to show connections and commonalities between them. They have many characteristics in common, but one characteristic in particular is special: a confidence in underprivileged adults’ potential to learn. They also notably advocated and worked for open access policies and measures for adult learning and education.

Authors: Wang Jixuan
Published: February 2025

Access to mental health services remains a global challenge, particularly for marginalized groups. This research endeavors to enhance the accessibility of mental health services by integrating media communication technology with biomechanical biosensors, including electrodermal activity sensors and heart rate monitors. The proposed approach leverages mobile communication platforms and wearable biosensors for real-time biomechanical parameter monitoring (including heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, body temperature, and galvanic skin response, etc.) and remote interventions. Judge the impact on the brain and neuroendocrine system through the changes in biomechanical indicators, and use this as a basis for judging mental health. The objective is to develop a telehealth model that merges bio-data-driven alerts with communication tools to deliver prompt psychological support. This study underscores the deficiencies of traditional health systems in ensuring comprehensive mental health monitoring and emphasizes the potential of media communication technologies as scalable and accessible tools for early interventions in underserved areas, and also emphasizes the relationship between the physiological indicators measured by biosensors and the biomechanical mechanisms of mental health. Despite the existence of online methods for detecting mental health issues, early detection remains problematic. This research presents a framework for integrating pre-processed biosignal data with user-generated content to facilitate proactive monitoring. To address the limitations of conventional classifiers, the study introduces a Fitness-Dependent Optimizer-tuned Upgraded Decision Tree (FDO-UDT) model, which enhances the early identification of at-risk individuals using personalized thresholds and real-time event detection based on biomechanical data, it is helpful to provide an early warning before the clinical symptoms of mental health problems occur. The results indicate that automated alerts triggered by biomechanical sensor thresholds improve responsiveness and engagement, ensuring timely interventions for those in need. The FDO-UDT model achieves performance metrics of 90.21% accuracy, 98.01% recall rate, and 86.38% precision, outperforming traditional methods. The study concludes that the integration of media communication technologies with biomechanical sensors offers scalable solutions to improve the delivery of mental health services, especially for rural and underserved populations.

Published: February 2025

Education quality management has undergone significant transformations in recent decades, influenced by global demands, technological advancements, and changing educational paradigms. This research paper explores the evolution of modern trends in education quality management (EQM), focusing on the key drivers that have shaped its development. Initially, education systems were designed with a traditional, teacher-centered approach, but the need for more dynamic, student-centered learning environments led to the introduction of quality assurance (QA) mechanisms such as accreditation, performance-based assessments, and standards-setting initiatives. The paper examines how the rise of digital tools, data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled more personalized learning experiences and real-time tracking of educational outcomes. Furthermore, the shift towards inclusivity and the recognition of diverse learner needs have prompted educational institutions to adopt more flexible and adaptive systems for quality management. In addition, globalization has encouraged cross-border collaborations, resulting in the development of international frameworks and best practices for maintaining educational standards. By reviewing contemporary models, including Total Quality Management (TQM) and Six Sigma, the paper assesses how EQM has become increasingly focused on continuous improvement and stakeholder engagement. The research also discusses the challenges and opportunities posed by current trends, including the integration of sustainability goals and the importance of preparing students for a rapidly evolving workforce. Ultimately, this paper highlights the importance of adapting education quality management to meet the evolving demands of society and the global economy, ensuring that education remains accessible, equitable, and of the highest possible standard.

Authors: Gutiérrez-Gómez Edgar , Munaris-Parco Sonia Beatriz , Janampa-Patilla Hubner , Quispe-Arroyo Adolfo , Auccatoma-Tinco Roly
Published: February 2025

The objective of the research was to analyze how car wash work in the Peruvian Ande promotes sexist attitudes, especially through advertising featuring half-naked young women. The method used was ethnography, with participant observation and informal interviews, due to the social and informal nature of this type of work. The researchers' integration into the community of car washers, both as clients and as frequent passersby, was key to interacting with workers and clients on public roads, where labor practices are carried out illegally. The information collected was processed through field notes and reflection on the data obtained. It is concluded that informal car wash work in the Peruvian Ande perpetuates sexist attitudes, mainly through sexualized advertising of women. Despite the promotion of gender equity by the central government, local governments minimize these policies to preserve their popularity, which allows the continuity of sexist practices within this informal sector.

Published: February 2025

Human resource management is one of the things that are given serious attention by Islamic teachings. This is because the management of that aspect involves the use of energy and individual minds to achieve the organisation’s objectives. And one aspect of the human resource management that is emphasized by Islam is the payment of salaries or wages to employees. Related to this aspect, there is a misunderstanding from some members of the society or managers of an organization who thinks that employees need to sacrifice more beyond the pay rate, especially when the sacrifice is related to religion. As a result, workers feel burdened to meet and support life when the salaries or wages received are not commensurate with the energy poured into the work. Thus, question related on what is the position of wages or salaries according to Islamic teachings on work arises? How was the practice regarding payment of wages or salaries in the early days before the Islamic Golden Age? Is there a salary and rank increment system practiced in the era of the Islamic Caliphate? With that, this writing will review the position of salary or wages according to Islamic teachings and the implementation of the salary or wages distribution system during the time of the Prophet SAW until the time of the Four “Rightly Guided” Caliphs (Abu Bakar, Umar, Uthman and Ali). This study will also look at the salary and rank increment system implemented after the era of the Four Caliphates.  In order to achieve the objectives of the study, qualitative researched methodology was used to obtained and analysed data, especially from written materials. The study found that Islamic teachings emphasised the importance of fair wages or compensation for work and prohibit being unjust towards workers. The study results also show that the salary and wage management system was implemented during the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW and the era of the “Four Rightly Guided” Caliphs. Furthermore, this study also proves that there is a system of salary and promotion increment that has been practiced in Islamic governance after the era of the Four “Rightly Guided” Caliphs.

Population-wide primary prevention through modifiable risk factors such as smoking, physical inactivity, and unhealthy dietary practices, has been proposed as a proactive, efficient and cost-effective method for reducing the economic burden of chronic disease worldwide. Identification of a target population’s knowledge, behaviours, and beliefs related to chronic diseases is essential for effective and appropriate chronic disease prevention. This chapter examines the findings from three research projects focusing on the cross-cultural distinction between East Indian-Canadian, Chinese-Canadian, and Mainland Chinese populations on their knowledge, behaviours, and beliefs related to ischemic heart disease or stroke. Cross-sectional descriptive comparative quantitative data analyses reveal that different mechanisms of knowledge acquisition, behaviour change, and belief transformation form the barriers to realize actual changes in those populations when primary prevention educational programs originally designed for European-Canadians were delivered without any change. Confucian teaching on the commonality of human nature and the distinction of their habits, which includes their knowledge, behaviours, and beliefs towards health, illness and disease, is reflected in the conclusion of this chapter.
Disalignments between the Policy Communication Process and Policy Discourse of the Comprehensive "Three-Child" Policy in Sina Weibo
Authors: Gao Rong
Published: February 2025

The transformation of China's family planning policy from a "state-planned" approach to one emphasizing "reproductive autonomy" is highlighted by the adjustment of the comprehensive "Three-Child Policy." This study examines the discrepancies in the communication process between the social media communication discourse and actual policy discourse of the "Three-Child Policy" on Sina Weibo. Findings reveal contradictions and inconsistencies between the communication process of the policy and the values, issues, and target audience conveyed by the original policy discourse. This provides an explanation for the deviation between official and public opinions regarding childbirth policy. At the policy discourse construction level, the essence of the positive family planning policy discourse lies in the cessation of the "planned" characteristics and the disappearance of the childbirth policy scorecard. However, in the communication process of the "Three-Child Policy," there is a reaffirmation of the state's "planned" attribute and an emphasis on promoting childbirth discourse, conflicting with the discourse of reproductive autonomy and friendliness. Additionally, targeting the two child families and unmarried individuals as the main subjects in policy communication, which would lead to a lack of focus on the intended groups of the family planning policy. In the era of after three-child policies, it is necessary to change the foothold of policy communication discourse from encouraging fertility to emphasizing fertility autonomy and fertility friendliness. In terms of policy issues, it is crucial to construct gender and family issues as policy concerns, intervening with public policy discourse that guides reproductive autonomy to overcome the discourse inertia of restrictive family planning policy and reinterpret the essence of the "new family planning".
