Authors: Román-Navarro Horacio , Núñez-Torres Fredy
Published: December 2024

This note presents an overview of five models to approach the phenomenon of conceptual metonymy within the framework of cognitive semantics (Lakoff & Johnson, 1986, Lakoff, 1987; Langacker, 1993; Kövecses & Radden, 1998, Radden & Kövecses, 1999; Warren, 1999 and 2006, Panther & Thornburg, 1998; and Littlemore, 2015 and 2017). The principles underpinning these theoretical proposals are described, their advantages and limitations are pointed out, and examples from Chilean Spanish are provided. The objective of this review is to bring specialized knowledge about conceptual metonymy closer to schools in Chile, where the curriculum includes this figure of speech.
“Erm you know that thing over there…” A General Service List of Conversational English for ELT
Authors: Gerigk Kevin Frank
Published: December 2024

This study proposes and analyses a General Service List of Conversational English based on the spoken British National Corpus 2014. Most general service lists are based on written data (Brezina & Gablasova, 2015), overlooking the inherently unique features of conversations. This paper addresses this gap by presenting a general service list of conversational British English. After compilation, the data has been sifted manually to eliminate stopwords, e.g., swear words and months. The aims of this research are threefold: 1) identifying and describing the core lexis of conversations; 2) identifying the heavy-duty vocabulary necessary for full comprehension; and 3) identifying the relation between the coverage of the core lexical and the core conversational vocabulary. This study suggests heavy-duty vocabulary and provides a description of it. In particular, the results suggest that conversational English uses a high degree of recycling of core vocabulary, which is simple in structure and operates at the phatic level of interaction. These findings are particularly interesting for EFL materials design and the teaching of conversational English, enhancing the authenticity of conversations in the EFL classroom. This paper concludes with implications for the selection of vocabulary items in EFL contexts, especially with a focus on listening activities in EFL teaching materials.

Authors: Najmaldin Yousif Ibrahim , Yusoff Wan Sallha , Barzinji Zardasht Abubaker Qader
Published: December 2024

This review examines the literature using mixed methods to assess current information and knowledge gaps related to cloud accounting processes in SMEs. Therefore, from this point of view, cloud accounting is crucial for businesses because companies provide information to multiple parties and therefore require reliable and protected financial reporting. Therefore, this article provides a comparative discussion by examining and evaluating the perspectives of researchers and practitioners in the field of cloud accounting. Through the research, the weaknesses of cloud accounting in the operations of small and medium enterprises are revealed. The lack of physical openness to globalization and technology, immersion in this deep world, and following traditional methods, which has led to not keeping pace with the modern era and the economic climate, are all factors that prevent financial institutions from keeping pace with progress. Therefore, the recommendation of this study is for researchers to avoid the mistakes of the past in relying on traditional methods. More importantly, the assumption of a clear link between two variables is evidence of these flaws. This basic area of research would contribute significantly to adopting a more thoughtful framework for finding causal relationships.

Authors: Ismail Mohamad Yusob , Mohd Isa Afeez Nawfal , Jantan Ramlan , Abdul Rahman Khairol Ezedy
Published: December 2024

Documentary production is rapidly evolving with technological advancements. Docudrama, as a hybrid genre, enriches the viewing experience by blending factual and fictional elements, providing a unique watching experience. Docudrama production involves a balanced narrative between reality and dramatic fiction, creating a "hybrid" genre that captures audience attention by evoking emotions and engaging characters in highlighted issues. The use of social media as a platform for docudrama production presents its own challenges. The freedom of social media audiences to choose content, along with cultural differences and varied viewing habits, can influence audience reception and engagement. Additionally, the impact of social media on audience behavior and the formation of online communities are important aspects of docudrama replays. Challenges in docudrama replays on social media also involve differences in the reception of commercial and current content. Adapting to trends in short video viewing and adjusting narrative structures is crucial in generating interest among social media viewers. Moreover, factors such as copyright, viewing saturation, and perceptions of replays also need attention. This paper employs a desk research methodology or literature review in narrative form.

Authors: Islam Mohammad Samiul , Kamarulzaman Nitty Hirawaty , Shamsudin Mad Nasir , Nawi Nolila Mohd , Alam Mohammad Jahangir , Bhandari Humnath
Published: December 2024

This study quantifies the impact and returns on investment from Boro rice breeding research and extension in Bangladesh from 1971 to 2022 using the economic surplus model and project evaluation techniques. The purpose of the study is to assess the economic impact and effectiveness of public investments in rice breeding research and extension, providing insights for future policy and funding decisions. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive evaluation over 51 years, applying both closed and open economy perspectives to capture a broader range of benefits and potential savings. Results indicate that rice breeding research generated social benefits of Taka 1236.74 billion in a closed economy and Taka 1199.55 billion in an open economy, saving US$ 40.22 billion in foreign exchange. The investment yielded an estimated net present value (NPV) of Taka 1133.75 billion, an internal rate of return (IRR) of 75%, and a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 15. These findings underscore the need for increased public support for agricultural research in Bangladesh. However, benefits primarily accrued to consumers, with producers facing losses due to assumptions of a small, open economy and lower demand elasticity compared to supply. The study recommends increased investment in public rice research institutes for R&D and extension programs to achieve food self-sufficiency.

Authors: Abu Bakar Siti Salmah , Ab Ghani Nadzri
Published: December 2024

Nowadays, millennials face unethical workplace behaviour, yet research indicates their actions are no different from older generations, suggesting millennials tend to perform wrongdoings as if they are not equipped with ethical conduct. Hence, a pilot study was carried out as a pre-test for a primary study on millennials’ ethical reasoning. The study employs cognitive moral development theory to investigate the application of ethical reasoning to millennials' ethical behaviour. Descriptive analysis and a short version of Rest’s Defining Issues Test (DIT) were applied to examine millennials' ethical reasoning level, i.e., supervisors, for their ethical behaviour. Generally, the ethical reasoning of Malaysian supervisors is in the “middle third” category following Kohlberg’s cognitive moral development stages. Implications for theory and practice of findings are discussed.
EXPLORING THE ADOPTION OF HALAL SUPPLY CHAIN PRACTICES BY HALAL-CERTIFIED FOOD AND BEVERAGES MANUFACTURERS IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Salleh Musdiana Mohamad , Harun Etty Harniza
Published: December 2024

Malaysia's reputation as a global leader in the halal industry has recently been called into question due to concerns over the integrity of halal food products. Muslim consumers are increasingly skeptical about the authenticity of halal certifications and the practices of manufacturers claiming to adhere to halal standards. This has led to a need for greater transparency and accountability in the halal food supply chain.The concept of halal extends beyond just the food itself to encompass the entire process of production, from handling and packaging to storage and delivery. Halal supply chains (HSCs) must comply with strict criteria to ensure the preservation of halal certification standards throughout the supply chain. However, the extent to which halal-certified food and beverage manufacturers in Malaysia are implementing these practices remains unclear. This paper aims to explore the adoption of halal supply chain practices from the perspective of halal-certified food and beverage manufacturers. The primary research question is: why do halal-certified manufacturers adopt HSC practices? Understanding the motivations behind HSC adoption is essential for enhancing consumer trust and ensuring the integrity of halal food products. The findings will provide valuable insights into the current state of the halal industry in Malaysia and offer recommendations for strengthening its position as a global leader in the halal market.

Sellers recommended incorporating features from other popular e-commerce platforms, expanding marketing via social media, and enabling business matching to enhance networking opportunities. These findings suggest that improving the platform’s functionality and marketing tools can significantly impact seller satisfaction, leading to better business outcomes. The study provides valuable insights for developers of Agrobazaar Online to enhance the platform's competitiveness and help Malaysian sellers maximize their business potential.
Enfermedad de Pott, reto diagnóstico y terapéutico: reporte de caso
Authors: Celis Violeta , Ibañez-Reluz Miguel
Published: December 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) still is a significant public health problem, with high morbidity and mortality. When it affects the spine, it is called Pott's disease or spinal tuberculosis (STB). Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for preventing serious complications and improving both prognosis and quality of life. In this report, we present two cases of STB in which there were confounding factors in the initial diagnostic approach. In the first case, the unusual presentation led to a delay in diagnosis. In the second case, an intercurrent condition complicated reaching a timely diagnosis. This led to profound consequences in the first case. Local difficulties for achieving timely diagnosis and treatment are also discussed. STB should be suspected in all cases of chronic axial pain, especially when there is a history of contact with infected people in the household. Public and private health facilities in Peru should develop and implement diagnostic protocols adapted to available human and technical resources and ensure effective and timely administration of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy.

Web Accessibility Status of Open Access Journals in Africa: A 2024 Snapshot
Authors: Nso-Mangue Pastor , Luján-Mora Sergio
Published: December 2024

Open access journals (OAJs) allow access to scientific articles free of charge worldwide. Therefore, OAJs plays an important role in disseminating scientific knowledge to the world. The access to OAJs is primarily via the Web, which still present barriers to persons with disabilities. Currently, 16% of the world's population lives with some form of disability and cannot enjoy equal access to the Web. Access to the Web is a human right under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and a key aspect of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. In Africa, approximately 80 million people with disabilities face barriers to equal access to the Web. Despite the potential benefits of the adoption of OAJs in developing countries, there are not a lot of studies on their accessibility by persons with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Web accessibility of OAJs in Africa against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). A selection of OAJs, from the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), is evaluated against WCAG 2.1 using three automated web accessibility evaluation tools (AWAETs): Mauve++, Lighthouse and WAVE. The results show that African OAJ websites are not fully compliant to WCAG 2.1. Although in average, the performance is good, further improvements are needed to ensure equal access to all, by reducing errors and increasing the implementation of Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA).

Published: December 2024

Wood eligibility is the most important factor in the furniture industry. However, currently there are still many producers who ignore the feasibility of wood so that it can affect production results and selling prices. With the development of technology such as digital image processing, the process of selecting feasible wood can be done without the need for human visuals. This research proposes to classify wood eligibility based on digital images of wood eligibility using the Deep Leraning method. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) which is one type of Deep Learning algorithm is proposed as a method to analyze wood worthiness images. The dataset of wood worthiness images was obtained through observations made by researchers at CV Kanindotama. The dataset used in this study amounted to 105 wood images divided into 83 training data and 22 test data. The model built using the ResNet50V2 architecture gets the greatest accuracy of only 69.51% for training data and 62.5% for test data. While the model built using the MobileNetV2 architecture gets an accuracy of up to 98.29% for training data and 100% for test data. This proves that the MobileNetV2 architecture is better than ResNet50V2. In addition, it can be said that the CNN algorithm can be used to analyze the feasibility of wood well.

The frequency of feeding four times a day with a dose of 8% in the first week and the second week increased by 10% of the biomass weight. The study design was a complete randomized design (RAL) with four treatments and 3 replicates for each treatment. The parameters observed include feed proximate content, growth and water quality The results showed that the combination of commercial feed with Azolla microphylla feed at different ratios had a real effect on growth (P<0.05). The treatment of D Azolla microphylla as a substitute feed can be optimally utilized for tilapia growth. Water quality during maintenance still supports the growth and proximate content of Tilapia fry feed.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh media dan lama pengangkutan terhadap tingkat kesegaran bibit rumput laut Gracillaria verrucosa dilakukan pada bulan Desember Tahun 2023 sampai Maret Tahun 2024 di Instalasi Tambak Percobaan (ITP) Marana Balai Riset Perikanan Budidaya Air Payau dan Penyuluhan Perikanan (BRPBAPPP), Desa Marannu Kecamatan Lau Kabupaten Maros Propinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Tujuan Penelitian ini yaitu menganalisis pengaruh media dan lama pengangkutan bibit rumput laut Gracillaria verrucosa terhadap tingkat kesegaran bibit rumput laut. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan bibit rumput laut Gracillaria verrucosa dengan menggunakan model percobaan yakni Jerami, Serbuk gergaji dan es batu disimpan dalam wadah Styrofoam dengan lama penyimpanan selama 24,48 dan 72 jam, lalu diamati perubahan tekstur thallus dan warnanya. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa media dan lama pengangkutan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap tingkat kesegaran bibit rumput laut G. verrucosa, baik dari segi tekstur thallus maupun warna rumput laut. Serbuk gergaji merupakan media pengangkutan terbaik karena kemampuannya dalam menjaga kelembaban, menyediakan aerasi yang cukup, dan menciptakan kondisi lingkungan yang optimal bagi pertumbuhan rumput laut. Semakin lama waktu pengangkutan, tekstur thallus semakin lunak dan warna rumput laut semakin pudar akibat kehilangan pigmen.
This study aims to determine the effect of media and transportation duration on the freshness level of Gracillaria verrucosa seaweed seeds, conducted from December 2023 to March 2024 at the Marana Experimental Pond Installation (ITP) of the Brackish Water Aquaculture Research and Fisheries Extension Centre (BRPBAPPP), Marannu Village, Lau District, Maros Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of media and length of transport of Gracillaria verrucosa seaweed seedlings on the freshness of seaweed seedlings. This research method uses Gracillaria verrucosa seaweed seedlings using an experimental model, namely straw, sawdust and ice cubes stored in Styrofoam containers with a storage time of 24, 48 and 72 hours, then observed changes in thallus texture and colour. The results showed that the media and length of transport had a significant effect on the freshness of Gracillaria verrucosa seaweed seedlings, both in terms of thallus texture and seaweed colour. Sawdust was the best transport medium due to its ability to maintain moisture, provide sufficient aeration, and create optimal environmental conditions for seaweed growth. The longer the transport time, the softer the thallus texture and the fainter the seaweed colour due to pigment loss.

Without social media, the life of a modern person has become practically unimaginable. Applications
such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Site X (formerly Twitter), TikTok are used by billions of people worldwide,
and this statistic is constantly growing. Social media platforms are functionally used for many purposes, including
communication, receiving and spreading information, self-expression, entertainment, as well as a tool of information
warfare, etc. Considering its growing popularity, it is necessary to study the impact of social media on modern society,
its benefits, Challenges and risks.
This article discusses the nature of social networks, history of origin and development, negative and positive
aspects of social media, its impact on the process of communication between people, democracy, social life, human
psyche, behavior, etc. The article analyzes how the life of modern society has changed to a new one. In digital reality,
existing problems related to the issue are identified, ways to solve them, prevention mechanisms and development
perspectives are established. In the era of globalization and hybrid threats, reducing the public's vulnerability to
information warfare tools and raising the awareness of Internet users is especially important.

Man Hss The possibilities of creating a comfortable environment for the human body are considered
and, taking into account the most rational modern systems, it is proposed to mount pipes in parallel both in the floors
and in the ceilings of the room. The water heated in the condenser of the refrigerating machine will circulate in the
floor pipes, and the water cooled in the evaporator of the same refrigeration machine will circulate in the ceiling
pipes. The microclimate system ensures the transfer of heat by radiation and thereby increases comfort. The
presented system also provides efficient and fast cooling and heating of the room.

Crank-slide four-link lever mechanism
serves to convert one type of rotary motion into another
translational motion. This mechanism is one of the most
common, it is the main mechanism in piston machines
(internal combustion engines, compressors, pumps).
Recently, work has been underway to introduce spatial
crank-slider mechanisms in different machines in which
the crank rotates in one plane and the slider moves in a
straight line crossing this plane at some angle.
Mechanisms of this type are going to be introduced in
different piston and sewing machines in order to make
them as compact as possible. In these mechanisms, the movable joints are cylindrical and spherical hinges, the
connecting rod in this case has free rotation around its
longitudinal axis and this gives the mechanism an
additional second degree of freedom in place of one. This
paper describes a method of kinematic analysis of spatial
articulated mechanisms that is convenient for practical
use.This method is based on the projection of the
calculated spatial scheme of the studied roping
mechanism onto the orthogonal system of projection
planes used in descriptive geometry. Using this method,
you can plot the velocities and accelerations of any kind
of spatial linkage.

Classical orthogonal polynomials and their properties are well-known worldwide. In particular,
Legendre, Jacob, Lager, Hagenbauer polynomials, and others. With these orthogonal polynomials, are determined
the Fourier series and studying the presentation of functions by using these series. They also consider the issues of
convergence of these series and summability by different methods. During the study of the convergence and summability of the Fourier series with respect to the system of
generalized spherical functions, it is necessary to consider the Fourier series with respect to the Wigner polynomials.
Therefore, it is natural to study the convergence and summability of these series.
In this paper, the sufficient conditions for the convergence of the Fourier series with respect to the Wigner
polynomials are reviewed. In particular, conditions similar to Din's and Jordan's conditions for Fourier's
trigonometric series are given, and due these conditions, different signs of convergence for Fourier's series with
respect to Wigner's polynomials are proved.

At the present stage of development of socio-economic relations, green financing is a relevant trend,
which is associated with the need to implement environmental measures into business processes, with the emergence
of new financial instruments and their active distribution.
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and the transition to a green economy, in turn, require significant
financial resources. Joint-stock companies (issuers) and banks are active participants in the processes of financing
and implementing projects that have an environmental and positive social effect. The influence of the mentioned
entities and their „green“ financial instruments on the effective implementation of environmental measures, as well
as the study of issues of responsible entrepreneurship determine the relevance of the study.
The article focuses on the principles of issuing green bonds and green loans, as well as the benefits of owning
green bonds for investors.
The purpose of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of financial instruments for the implementation of
„green“ projects - green bonds, green loans, green mortgages.
