Research on Chinese Music Education from a Multicultural Perspective
Authors: Li Zenglan
Published: September 2023

Today’s music education in China is gradually tending to post-industrial diversified music education, but most ordinary and higher education institutions still use the 19th century Western musicology system as the basis of music teaching. In the continuous collision and exchange of local culture and world culture, the development of Chinese music education is difficult to form a teaching system and practical philosophy with the spirit of the times under the tide of multiculturalism. Therefore, how to develop and build China’s music education system according to the characteristics of post-industrial society’s economic and cultural development is the focus of music education in China at this stage.

Authors: Rensburg Gideon Janse van , Anastasiou Adamos
Published: September 2023

This paper provides a literature review on the use of School Effectiveness Research (SER) in international contexts. SER is a valuable tool for identifying characteristics that contribute to school effectiveness and improving student learning outcomes. The review examines the definition and evolution of SER, the four phases of SER, and the application of SER in international schools. It also discusses the characteristics of effective schools in different countries and cultures, the advantages and disadvantages of each phase of SER, and the challenges and opportunities of conducting SER across international contexts. The review suggests that using a holistic approach that takes into account all four stages of SER can provide a more full view of school effectiveness. The review concludes with implications for future research and policy, limitations and suggestions for future studies, and a call for educators to recognize good practices from many cultural contexts to increase cross-cultural understanding and improve educational achievements for all children.
Research on the Stigmatization Behind the ‘X-male’ Lexicon
Authors: Wang Xiaoyi , Chen Jing
Published: September 2023

This article explores the intricacy of the emergence of misandria labels in China’s social media platform. We analyze the coinage background and discourse practice features behind misandria labels of ‘X-male’ lexicon such as ‘fènghuáng nán’ and ‘wéisuó nán’, on Weibo platform, from which we collected corpus. Our investigation reveals that the misandria labels of ‘X-male’ lexicon manifest stigmatization, including implicit and interwined stigma, alongside the separation between public stigma and self-stigma. We argue that this kind of stigmatization may stem from the disruption of traditional Chinese social norms, the dominance of the capital market economy, and the amplification companied by social media, leading to trust crisis in Chinese society during the transitional period. Benefiting from our research, we can better comprehend the status of men in contemporary China, and lay the foundation for social initiatives toward gender equality.

Authors: Duldulao Rica Mae , Naparan Genesis , Remotigue Donnelle Niño M. , Sanayon Alyannah D.
Published: September 2023

Prospective teachers usually conduct classroom demonstrations during a teaching internship for one semester. Thus, teaching interns then perform actual teaching among students at varying grade levels. This study investigated the challenges and coping strategies of BEED teaching interns in the western part of the Philippines. In this study, the researchers employed a single-case study model method of Sharan B. Merriam. Triangulation of data was also employed to validate the results of the study. They gathered the data through one-to-one interviews with BEED teaching interns who conducted classroom demonstrations on-campus and off-campus, four corresponding cooperating teachers, and the instructor of the research participants. Following the data analysis of Braun and Clarke (2008), the results revealed that these teaching interns experienced different challenges. These challenges involved difficulty in classroom management and difficulty in creating learning objectives. However, they showed positivity in their performance and applied the right coping strategies to lessen their burden. Among these coping strategies were using effective classroom management strategies, being confident, and asking assistance from their cooperating teacher to cope with those challenges. Through these experiences, teachers learned to adjust and cope with their challenges. Thus, they became better teaching interns. These findings are original and contribute to the plans and programs of the Commission of Higher Education in broadening the knowledge and developing the skills for improving student teacher’s academic success.

African-Christian-Muslim dialogue on hospitality: A Case study of Somali refugees at the Dadaab refugee complex in Kenya
Authors: Oscar Nduri Angaga
Published: September 2023

This paper demonstrates that African-Christian-Muslim dialogue, anchored on hospitality offers a suitable framework for restoring the dignity of Somali refugees at the Dadaab Refugee Camp. It highlights the plight of the Somali refugees and explores theological bases for remedying based on African-Christian-Muslim teachings. This study primarily uses Cardinal Cardijn’s “See, Judge, and Act” of Catholic social analysis. The main challenges that the refugees face include poor shelter, inadequate food supply, poor educational standards, and recurrent threats of deportation by the Kenyan government. Above all, it highlights that Christian and Muslim humanitarian organizations play leading roles in caring for the refugees. Ultimately, it shows that theological reflections on the ministries of Jesus and prophet Muhammad provide narratives for rallying Christians and Muslims to be more magnanimous in caring for the Somali refugees.
(K)ein Platz für die Kunst und Kultur ethnischer Minderheiten? Zur Unterstützung der öffentlichen Förderung der Kunst und Kultur ethnischer Minderheiten in der deutschen Bevölkerung
Authors: Sawert Tim
Published: September 2023

Dieser Artikel befasst sich mit der Frage, inwiefern sich in der deutschen Bevölkerung Unterstützung für eine ethnisch inklusive Kulturförderung findet. Zur Erklärung von Differenzen in den Einstellungen greife ich auf drei Erklärungsansätze zurück. Diese prüfe ich empirisch mit Daten des Projekts Kulturelle Bildung und Kulturpartizipation in Deutschland. Insgesamt unterstützt ein großer Anteil der deutschen Bevölkerung eine ethnisch inklusive Kulturpolitik. Im Besonderen erweisen sich ein eigener Migrationshintergrund aus einem muslimischen Land, ein paucivorer Kulturgeschmack und politische Präferenz für die grün-libertäre Neue Linke als besonders einflussreiche Prädiktoren.
Homeoffice und suchthaftes Arbeiten in Deutschland. Sind Homeofficeintensität und betriebliche Regulierung von Bedeutung?
Authors: Ebner Christian , Berk Beatrice van , Rohrbach-Schmidt Daniela
Published: September 2023

Im Zuge der Digitalisierung hat Homeoffice in Deutschland merklich an Bedeutung gewonnen. Während mehrere Studien die Vorteile der Arbeit von zu Hause aus betonen, gibt es auch Hinweise auf mögliche negative Effekte. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrags wird der Zusammenhang zwischen Homeoffice und suchthaftem Arbeiten auf Basis einer Stichprobe von rund 6.000 Beschäftigten in Deutschland für die Jahre 2017/2018 adressiert. Unter Anwendung von Regressionsanalysen kann erstens gezeigt werden, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit suchthaft zu arbeiten bei Beschäftigten im Homeoffice durchschnittlich höher ist als bei Personen, die ihre Arbeit nicht im Homeoffice verrichten. Die Analysen weisen zweitens auf Möglichkeiten der Begrenzung suchthaften Arbeitens im Homeoffice hin: So ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit suchthaft zu arbeiten durchschnittlich geringer, wenn seltener von zu Hause aus gearbeitet wird, eine vertragliche Vereinbarung zum Homeoffice mit dem Betrieb getroffen wurde und die Möglichkeit besteht, die Arbeitszeiten im Homeoffice anzurechnen.
Integer Programming Models for Task Scheduling and Resource Allocation in Mobile Cloud Computing
Authors:   Institute of Information Technology/Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, Baku, AZ1141, Azerbaijan, Alguliyev Rasim M. , Alakbarov Rashid G.
Published: September 2023

In traditional mobile cloud computing, user tasks are uploaded and processed on a cloud server over the Internet. Due to the recent rapid increase in the number of mobile users connected to the network, due to overload of the Internet communication channels, there are significant delays in the delivery of data processed on cloud servers to the user. Furthermore, it complicates the optimal scheduling of the tasks of many users on cloud servers and the delivery of results. Scheduling is an approach used to reduce the tasks execution time by ensuring a balanced distribution of user tasks on cloud servers. The goal of scheduling is to ensure selection of appropriate resources to handle tasks quickly, taking into account user requirements. Whereas the goal of cloud service providers is to provide users with the required resources through performing effective scheduling so that both the user and the service provider can benefit. The article proposes a scheduling model to reduce processing time, network latency, and power consumption of mobile devices through optimal task placement in the cloudlet network in a mobile cloud computing environment.

Dynamic models of the information security system (DMoISS) in social networks (SN) are studied and the mutual influence between users (MIBU) was taken into account. Also, the stability of the security system (SoSS) was analyzed.
There is a practical interest in studying the behavior of the of SN information security systems (ISS) using parameters of the MIBU. DMoISS in SN in the mathematical sense of this term is considered. A dynamic system is understood as an object or process for which the concept of state is unambiguously defined as a set of certain quantities at a given moment of time and a given law describes the change (evolution) of the initial state over time.
SN is a set of users and connections between them. Individuals, social groups, organizations, cities, countries can be considered as users. Connections are understood not only as MIBU, but also as the exchange of various resources and activities.
Theoretical study of the dynamic behavior of a real object requires the creation of its mathematical model. The procedure of developing the model is to compile mathematical equations based on physical laws. These laws were formulated in the language of differential equations.
As a result of the research, it is established the influence of parameters of MIBU on parameters of SN ISS. Phase portraits (PP) of the data protection system in the MatLab/Multisim program are determined, what indicates of the SoSS in the operating range of the parameters even at the maximum value of influences.
This study is useful and important from the point of view of information security in the network, since the parameters of MIBU significantly affect the protection rate (with different values - up to 100%).
The scientific value of the article lies in the fact that for the first time, on the basis of the study of the developed systems of nonlinear differential equations (NDE), it is shown the quantitative relationship between the parameters of the MIBU and the parameters of the SN ISS, as well as the SoSS is shown based on the study of the nonlinear equation of the second degree.

Published: September 2023

The underlying objective of segment routing is to avoid maintenance of the per-flow state at forwarding devices. Segment routing (SR) enables the network devices to minimize their forwarding table size by generalizing the forwarding rules and making them applicable to multiple flows. In existing works, optimizing the trade-off between segment length and the number of co-flows sharing the segment is considered the key to determining optimal segment endpoints. However, the flow characteristics like the lifetime of flows, and dynamically altering routing paths are critical and impact the performance of SR. Ideally, network flows considered for SR are expected to persist for a longer duration and adhere to static routing paths. But our analysis of flow characteristics at a typical data center reveals that the majority of flows are short-lived. Also, network flows are subject to alter their routing paths frequently for several reasons. Considering short-lived flows and flows that dynamically alter their routing paths may lead to choosing unstable segment endpoints. Hence, it is necessary to study the flow characteristics for determining more stable segment endpoints. In this paper, the authors implemented the SR technique considering the flow characteristics at an SDN-enabled data center and the results show a significant improvement with respect to the stability of segment endpoints.

Published: September 2023

In Cloud Computing (CC) environment, load balancing refers to the process of optimizing resources of virtual machines. Load balancing in the CC environment is one of the analytical approaches utilized to ensure indistinguishable workload distribution and effective utilization of resources. This is because only by ensuring effective balance of dynamic workload results in higher user satisfaction and optimal allocation of resource, therefore improve cloud application performance. Moreover, a paramount objective of load balancing is task scheduling because surges in the number of clients utilizing cloud lead to inappropriate job scheduling. Hence, issues encircling task scheduling has to be addressed. In this work a method called, Ford Fulkerson and Newey West Regression-based Dynamic Load Balancing (FF-NWRDLB) in CC environment is proposed. The FF-NWRDLB method is split into two sections, namely, task scheduling and dynamic load balancing. First, Ford Fulkerson-based Task Scheduling is applied to the cloud user requested tasks obtained from Personal Cloud Dataset. Here, employing Ford Fulkerson function based on the flow of tasks, energy-efficient task scheduling is ensured. The execution of asymmetrical scientific applications can be smoothly influenced by an unbalanced workload distribution between computing resources. In this context load balancing signifies as one of the most significant solution to enhance utilization of resources. However, selecting the best accomplishing load balancing technique is not an insignificant piece of work. For example, selecting a load balancing model does not work in circumstances with dynamic behavior. In this context, a machine learning technique called, Newey West Regression-based dynamic load balancer is designed to balance the load in a dynamic manner at run time, therefore ensuring accurate data communication. The FF-NWRDLB method has been compared to recent algorithms that use the markov optimization and the prediction scheme to achieve load balancing. Our experimental results show that our proposed FF-NWRDLB method outperforms other state of the art schemes in terms of energy consumption, throughput, delay, bandwidth and task scheduling efficiency in CC environment.

Published: September 2023

Účel – Předkládaná výzkumná studie prezentuje výsledky zjišťování informačních potřeb uživatelů Moravské zemské knihovny. Realizace uživatelských výzkumů je pro knihovnu potřebná zejména kvůli získání aktuálních informací o uživatelských preferencích a postojích. Cílem této studie bylo zjistit, jak stávající uživatelé MZK vnímají nabídku služeb, jak je využívají a jaké služby by uvítali. Výsledky budou využity při nastavení propagace a zlepšování kvality služeb.

Design / metodologie / přístup – Pro výzkumné šetření byla zvolena kvalitativní metoda výzkumu v podobě focus group (ohniskové skupiny). Celkem proběhly tři tyto ohniskové skupiny s uživateli MZK. Do nich byli vybráni zástupci tří početných uživatelských skupin (studenti, pracující a senioři). Výsledky byly zpracovány pomocí otevřeného kódování a tematické analýzy.

Výsledky – Výzkum ukázal, že uživatelé navštěvují MZK především kvůli široké nabídce odborných zdrojů, která není jinde ve městě dostupná. Preferují klidné a tiché prostory, zároveň chtějí mít i prostor pro vzájemné setkávání. Velmi pozitivně je vnímána budova knihovny a interiér. Kritizována byla kavárna, nedostatečná nabídka jídla a nápojů v knihovně a také omezený prostor pro konzumaci jídla a pití. Ohledně využití zdrojů se ukázalo, že uživatelé neznají všechny elektronické informační zdroje, které MZK nabízí. Sporným bodem je i vstup do budovy pouze pro registrované uživatele. Akce knihovny nejsou pro návštěvu knihovny tím hlavním důvodem.

Originalita / hodnota – Výzkumy uživatelských potřeb nejsou realizovány tak často a pokud ano, knihovny většinou rozesílají dotazníky, ze kterých získávají data kvantitativního charakteru. Výzkum realizovaný prostřednictvím focus group je v našich podmínkách ojedinělý, přitom je pomocí této metody možné získat hlubší porozumění a informace, které by jinak zůstaly skryty. Tento výzkum může být tedy inspirací i pro další knihovny.

A general overview on women's poverty in the world
Authors: EROL Hatice , ÖZDEMİR Abdullah
Published: September 2023

various strata of society, but it particularly impacts women and children deeply. Poverty encompasses not only income deficiency for women but also the lack of social participation, leading to social exclusion. However, the question of whether poverty should be considered primarily as a women's issue or examined from a broader perspective is a subject of debate, as women can be disproportionately affected due to a gender-biased perspective.

Recent research indicates that in contemporary societies, women are more adversely affected by poverty compared to men. Gender inequality and income disparities often restrict women's access to education, limit employment opportunities, push them into low-paying jobs, or hinder their workforce participation due to domestic responsibilities. Studies conducted by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) highlight the prevalence of global gender inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab Peninsula, and many South Asian countries. These studies also reveal that gender inequality is more pronounced in countries with low to medium levels of human development. Consequently, regions like the Arab Peninsula and South Asia exhibit extremely low rates of female workforce participation. Moreover, these regions often witness a significant lack of female representation in their parliaments.

Among the fundamental causes of women's poverty are deficiencies in education and negative societal attitudes towards women. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to elevate women's educational levels and encourage their participation in the labor force. Studies have shown a correlation between increasing women's education levels and economic growth. Consequently, governments should review employment policies and social security mechanisms to enhance women's access to employment opportunities. Social assistance policies should be implemented with a rights-based approach and should encompass women. Addressing the excessive burden of household chores, gender-based discrimination, and patriarchal attitudes limiting women's career choices is of paramount importance. Transforming societal norms and dismantling gender biases are necessary for this purpose. The combat against female poverty necessitates the active engagement of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the realm of social policy implementations, social assistance programs, governmental initiatives related to gender-responsive budgeting, and the practices of financial institutions concerning microcredit.
Figurative Speech as Phenomenological Problem
Authors: Biagini Lorenzo ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: September 2023

This article aims to investigate the nature and role of linguistic “images” in Husserl’s philosophy. At first, I will explain the idea of rigorous language emerging in relevant pages of Ideas I as well as the challenges that linguistic “images” pose to it. I will then examine the nature of linguistic “images,” relying on the reflections collected in Husserliana XXIII to show their nature of intuitive-imaginative syntheses. Finally, I will focus on the role that such “images” play in phenomenologizing. Taking decisive cues from Fink and Adorno, I will show the figurative essence of Husserl’s operative concepts and the productivity of “conceptual constellations” in phenomenology. The main contention of this article is that the rigor of phenomenological language essentially relies on a peculiar imaginative experience.
Not All Picturing is Picturing
Authors: Loht Shawn ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: September 2023

This article examines selected texts in which Martin Heidegger thematizes the ontology of images, in order to adduce a view of how he under­stands their merits and limitations. I am primarily interested in the images seen in art works, especially those in film and photography, given Heidegger’s strong criticism of the latter alongside other 20th-century communicative media. The goal of the article is not to determine what is Heidegger’s central or overall position regarding images, as it is not clear that he has such a position. Rather, the goal is to analyze how his various statements on images, as well as imagination, fit together. I contrast Heidegger’s critical views in “The Age of the World Picture” with other texts in which he describes images more favorably. I also devote some space to texts in which Heidegger treats imagination and the origin of images more broadly.
The Parallax View between Merleau-Ponty and Lacan
Authors: Zhang Huaiyuan ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: September 2023

Since Narcissus sees himself seeing himself, i.e., comes to self-consciousness and plunges into self-destruction under the gaze, thinkers have problematized the Delphic maxim of “knowing thyself” from a visual perspective. In this trend, psychoanalysis joins the self-criticism of phenomenology in subverting the “myth” of the self-reflective consciousness. Whereas Lacan relegates the mirror stage to the Imaginary and interprets the gaze as objet a to account for the split in the subject, Merleau-Ponty overcomes the narcissistic enclosure of the tacit cogito by appealing to the self’s abandonment to the gaze of the other in an open-circuit of the reversible flesh. Through the lens of the topological concept of parallax, this study illuminates the fundamental distinctions between these two perspectives and proposes a promising future of psychoanalytic phenomenology.
Place-based business support towards net zero: enabling through the place-policy-practice nexus
Authors: Baranova Polina
Published: September 2023

The prevailing approach of policymakers to the design and delivery of net zero business support remains focused on financial economic growth. This approach limits the role of businesses in leading societal transformation towards a sustainable future. Although opportunities for businesses to transform so that they remain financially viable and resilient may emerge, support and policy innovation are needed to enable businesses to navigate the net zero transition. Place-based policies are one way of ensuring localities, cities and regions respond effectively to the economic and social challenges of the transition. Despite place being identified as one of five foundations of national and local industrial strategies, business support provision across the regions remains largely ‘place-blind’. Support programmes are often generic in their design, scope and delivery mechanisms, and downplay the challenges businesses face when engaging with the net zero transition. This article critically reviews the policy articulation and the state of net zero business support from the place-based perspective. By applying place–policy–practice nexus thinking, gap analysis of net zero support is undertaken, and resolutions are offered. The article calls for a deeper reflection of place characteristics in policy discourse, local strategies and policy mixes. This requires concerted efforts from the government, support agencies, universities and businesses to develop a shared understanding of the growth opportunities and risks of the net zero transition relative to place. This includes the development of representative net zero governance mechanisms and addressing the growing demand for net zero skills.
The Impact of Financial Development on Inflation: Empirical Evidence from Kenya using the ARDL Approach
Authors:   School of Economics, Capital University of Economics and Business, Beijing, China., Gachoki Emilio Munene
Published: September 2023

This study delves into a comprehensive examination of the intricate relationship between financial development and inflation in Kenya, utilizing time series data spanning from 1973 to 2021. Within the empirical and theoretical realms, especially within country-specific contexts, the multifaceted dynamics of short-run and long-run impacts stemming from financial development on inflation have remained a significantly underexplored area. To address this research gap, we employ ARDL analysis, recognized for its sophistication and analytical rigor. The empirical findings from this study unveil a robust and enduring influence of financial development on inflation in Kenya over the long haul. Nonetheless, it's noteworthy that immediate evidence of financial development's impact on inflation appears relatively modest. Furthermore, the study unveils a complex interplay between interest rates and inflation, both in the short and long run, showcasing an negative relationship. These outcomes emphasize a substantial Granger and ARDL-driven causal link between inflation and financial development. Importantly, the policy implications arising from these empirical insights underscore the critical need for prudent financial sector oversight, focusing on fostering a climate conducive to stable and moderate inflation rates. This necessitates concerted efforts from both financial institutions and the government to fortify financial market infrastructures and bolster the uptake of financial services.

Authors: Dodo La , Fatonah Nenden Siti , Firmansyah Gerry , Akbar Habibullah
Published: September 2023

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Tuberculosis can spread from one person to another through airborne transmission. This disease is most commonly found in the Asian region. Currently, Indonesia ranks second after India in terms of tuberculosis cases. The discovery of tuberculosis cases by province in Indonesia reveals that West Java Province is one of the contributors to the highest tuberculosis cases. It is known that the tuberculosis case rate in Bogor Regency is one of the highest in West Java. This serves as the foundation for the focus of this research, which will be conducted at Islamic Hospital Bogor, to determine the average age and gender of patients who are more susceptible to tuberculosis. One way to understand the growth of tuberculosis cases is through clustering using Data Mining Techniques, specifically several clustering algorithms such as k-means clustering, fuzzy c-means, and Gaussian mixture. These techniques aim to identify the growth of tuberculosis cases based on age range and gender. Therefore, the research results are expected to provide new insights, which could be valuable for decision-makers in various capacities, such as preventive measures, healthcare facility provision, and medication considerations.

Authors: Setijo Irene Oktadiana , Budiasih Amin , Winarso Hudi
Published: September 2023

Egodystonic type homosexuality is a condition where the individual has internal conflicts over his homosexual behavior. Therefore, not a few egodystonic homosexuals hide their sexual orientation by marrying the opposite sex, which we call heterosexual marriage. This study aims to analyze homosexuals engaged in heterosexual marriage, and the effect on their marital life. This study also analyzes the Christian view of homosexuals who are involved in heterosexual marriages. The result of this study is that humans were created as heterosexual beings, starting with the creation of Adam and Eve. The purpose of creating two sexes is to execute the reproductive function and for humans to not fall into sexual sin. In Christian’s view, it is stated that homosexual relationship is an abomination and forbidden. Marriage in Christianity is a sacred covenant before God. Homosexuals who engage in heterosexual marriages will have lots of conflicts, including having problems with themselves and their partners. Homosexuals in heterosexual marriage are recommended to take intensive consultation with marriage counselors, for marital happiness.

Authors: Akulenok S.V.
Published: September 2023

In the article, on the example of countries and regions of foreign Europe, the relationship
between social capital and socio-economic development is considered. An assessment of
social capital and its components (as intangible factors of development) for regions and
countries of foreign Europe is given on the basis of primary sociological data from a study of
values in Europe. Civic activity, intolerance, features of trust were studied. Geographical
patterns of development of social capital are briefly lighted. The relationship between social
capital of communities and social-economic development indicators at the level of regions and
European countries has been studied. Regularities are revealed between geographical
differences in social capital and differences in economic development, the quality of institutions
and innovativeness across regions and countries of Europe. Bridging social capital has a
positive effect on economic development, it improves the functioning of institutions and
prevents the development of opportunism, it is common in economically developed regions
and European countries. Innovative activity is most common in regions and countries with a
predominance of bridging social capital. In the regions of Europe with the prevailing bonding
social capital, the disunity of social groups and closed trust, crisis phenomena are more
acutely felt.

Another Utah trip, and Aquilops on display at Dinosaur Journey
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: September 2023

I was back in Utah the week before last, looking for monsters with Brian Engh and Jessie Atterholt. It was a successful hunt – more about that another time. We made a run to Fruita, Colorado, to visit Dinosaur Journey. I was just there in May, picking up  Haplocanthosaurus  caudals for CT scanning (and other fun things). We picked up another specimen this time, for a different project – more on that in another post, too.
