Authors: Pating Ivan Karlo , Mejia Stephen , Gayla Jhustin Jay , Mangino Baron , Napiza Mike Julius , Padilla Shem Maielle , Dela Cruz Deyo Carlos , Ferrer Douglas
Published: January 2025

This study explored the experiences of social studies teachers in conducting modular distance learning among Indigenous Peoples (IP) students. A transcendental phenomenology research design based on the Moustakas Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen process was utilized to generate the themes that emerged based on the findings. Six social studies teachers deployed in the indigenous communities of Tarlac were purposively selected through inclusion criteria. Four themes emerged following the statement of the problem: (1) lived experiences in conducting modular distance learning among IP students; (2) support given by stakeholders to social studies teachers in conducting modular distance learning among IP students; (3) reasons behind social studies teachers' persistent dedication and commitment to modular distance learning; and (4) recommendations participants would offer to improve modular distance learning among IP students. Based on these findings, the study recommends that teacher education institutions provide pre-service teachers with the required skills and understanding of new normal education trends. Similarly, educational leaders should provide an opportunity for pre-service teachers to contextualize lesson plans, instructional methods, and assessments. It also suggests that local government units and non-governmental organizations collaborate to provide more resources and equipment for module reproduction and distribution.

Published: January 2025

This study aimed to determine the professional duty of Malaysian geography teachers to integrate authentic assessment into the teaching and learning process. Questionnaires were distributed online to 379 geography teachers at the secondary school level by a simple online snowball distribution method. Descriptive and ANOVA analyses were used to address each research question. The study's findings revealed that most teachers continued to assess their students using conventional methods. However, online assessment methods were also used in a small percentage of cases. Each variable possessed high knowledge, skills, and professional responsibility practice. Analysis of the relationship between the study variables and teachers' work experience indicated significant differences. In conclusion, the knowledge, skills, and professional responsibility practices associated with authentic assessment implementation were high during the teaching and learning process, and certain online assessment types were under-utilised. The study suggests that the Malaysian Ministry of Education should develop strategies and provide training to enhance the utilisation of various online assessment platforms.
The Impact of COVID-19 Towards Development of Teaching and Learning in Brunei Darussalam with Specific Reference to Kolej Universiti Perguruan Ugama Seri Begawan (KUPU SB)
Authors: Yussof Mohammad
Published: January 2025

Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced schools and universities to close and that has impacted an unprecedented number of academicians, teachers as well as the students. Without any exception, Brunei Darussalam too, nevertheless has been affected by this pandemic. In Brunei Darussalam, there is only one teacher training university which is called Kolej Universiti Perguruan Ugama Seri Begawan (Seri Begawan Religious Teachers University College) which is also known as "KUPU SB". This article will analyze the impact of COVID-19 in the development of teaching and learning at KUPU SB. The Brunei Health Ministry announced that the sultanate's first COVID-19 case was detected on 9th March 2020. Since the number of cases was increasing rapidly, on 17th March 2020, the Ministry of Health declared that "any individual arriving in Brunei," including a Bruneian coming from abroad, would have to "self-isolate" for two weeks or would face a penalty of "imprisonment up to a period of 6 months, or a fine up to $10,000. Or both" (Bodetti, 2020). Apart from enforcing some laws, on March 23 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs further tightened restrictions that already amounted to some of the toughest in Southeast Asia, blocking all foreign entrants as well as entry to restaurants (Bodetti, 2020). To contain and prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Religious Affairs announced school closure on March 11th 2020, about one week before the school holiday period (Othman, 2020). This included all international schools, primary and secondary schools, colleges as well as the Institute of Brunei Technical Education (IBTE) under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education; as well as schools and university such as KUPU SB which are under the jurisdiction of Ministry of Religious Affairs (Othman, 2020). Since then, activities such as mass gatherings as well as social meetings were all prohibited. Physical distancing and personal hygiene were advocated and publicly emphasized for all citizens in Brunei Darussalam. Via social media, the public was frequently reminded on maintaining a high level of personal hygiene and frequent hand-washing with clean water and soap or by using disinfectant such as hand-sanitizers. The government has shown the "One National" approach in containing and breaking the chain of COVID-19 infection. (Suhaili, 2020).

Published: January 2025

This research explores the diverse challenges and coping strategies of 42 student-parents at the state university in Negros Oriental, highlighting the complexities of balancing academic and parental responsibilities. The respondents, primarily young (90.48% aged 15-30 years), female (92.86%), and single (66.67%), face significant financial instability, with 61.90% earning less than P5,000 monthly. From the responses, among others, performance difficulties, financial constraints, emotional stress, and time management inefficiencies are the top problems. It also demands gender sensitivity: female student-parents should care for issues related to child care, while male student-parents are supposed to fulfill expectations and become a principal and often only, breadwinner. The university can make an inclusive environment that recognizes and supports the different needs of these student-parents. They can be supported to do well and achieve more throughout. Ultimately, it contributes to their success and well-being in their academic and personal lives.

Authors: Manuel Jeremiah Paul
Published: January 2025

Professional development systems help teachers enhance their practice, though the impact of mechanisms with this agenda only sometimes yields positive results. In the Philippines, the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Philippine Normal University (PNU) implemented the Linking Standards to Quality Practice (LiSQup) to help its teaching workforce improve. It trains teachers to optimize their instructional delivery through rigorous training under online programs at PNU, requiring Job-Embedded Learning (JEL) tasks associated with DepEd professional assignments. This autoethnographic study was conducted to demonstrate how LiSQup influences teachers. Using the author’s reflective narrative of his experiences posted on social media, themes were developed: character projection, cognitive processing, and career progression. The findings of this study demanded considerations in the program relative to the well-being of the students. This study contributes to the present explorations on how teachers can grow through professional advancement programs, implicating similar mechanisms in the global setting.
Pluri-employment and labor precariousness in Argentine nursing: a historical and social analysis
Authors: Becerra Cintia Belén
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The economic crises in underdeveloped countries have modified labor realities, highlighting the increase in moonlighting as an indicator of precariousness. In Argentina, this problem especially affects nurses, a profession historically devalued, linked to care and predominantly exercised by women. The impact of working conditions on the quality of life of professionals and their relationship with low pay and low social recognition was analyzed.Development: The study explored the history of work in Argentina and how sociopolitical contexts have influenced the configuration of current working conditions. In particular, it highlighted the evolution of nursing since its beginnings, marked by a subordination to the hegemonic medical model and a perception as a feminine and vocational task. These characteristics have perpetuated gender inequalities and have hindered its professionalization. In addition, the implications of moonlighting on the physical, emotional and social health of workers were discussed, identifying stress, exhaustion and lack of time for personal and family activities as recurrent consequences.Conclusions: The review concluded that the working conditions of nurses in Argentina reflect a structural problem that requires comprehensive solutions. The need to implement public policies that improve salaries, promote professional recognition and ensure effective union representation was highlighted. Revaluing nursing will not only benefit workers, but will also contribute to strengthening the health system and improving the quality of health care

Published: January 2025

Introduction: The study addressed the role of community nursing in the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and adolescent pregnancy in the town of Granadero Baigorria, Santa Fe. These issues significantly affect the health and social opportunities of adolescents, especially in marginalized communities. The research highlighted the importance of primary health care to develop strategic actions for sexual health promotion and prevention.Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, non-experimental, qualitative, descriptive study was conducted. Twelve community nurses from five local health centers participated. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and documents and records were analyzed. In addition, a literature review was conducted to contextualize the actions and limitations of the nursing staff. The data were organized in a systematization matrix and analyzed in categories related to the issues addressed.Results: The study revealed an increase in consultations for STIs and adolescent pregnancies, although lack of records made precise quantification difficult. The nurses identified local risk factors and developed immediate promotion and prevention strategies, although they faced obstacles such as lack of time, high demand, lack of supplies, and organizational difficulties. Most participants did not conduct community education activities due to these limitations.Conclusions: The research evidenced the relevance of the role of community nursing, although it identified restrictions that limit its strategic action. It was concluded that improving organization, available time and resources could strengthen preventive and educational interventions in sexual health, benefiting adolescents in Granadero Baigorria. These findings underscore the need for territorial health policies focused on these issues
Phonetic Variation in the Pronunciation of English Loanwords in South Korean Media: A Corpus-Based Study
Authors: Choi Michael James
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the phonetic variation in the pronunciation of English loanwords across different media platforms in South Korea, focusing on how these variations are influenced by media type, genre, and audience demographics. The research reveals that traditional media, such as television and radio, tends to favor standardized pronunciations to ensure clarity and maintain formal norms, while new media platforms like social media provide a dynamic environment that encourages diverse and creative pronunciations. The study also highlights the impact of media genre, with formal content like news programs promoting consistent pronunciation, while entertainment genres embrace a wider range of phonetic adaptations. Additionally, audience demographics, including age, education level, and regional background, significantly affect pronunciation patterns, with younger and more globally connected individuals showing a greater inclination towards varied pronunciations. These findings illustrate the complex interplay of linguistic, social, and cultural factors in shaping the use of English loanwords in South Korean media and suggest directions for future research on language adaptation in the context of globalization and digital communication.

Authors: Qu Yamin
Published: January 2025

Research on fast-mapping (FM) and explicit encoding (EE) has focused exclusively on the learning of concrete nouns, and few studies have explored verb learning through FM and EE in speakers’ mother language. The present study aims to investigate the role of fast-mapping and explicit encoding in Chinese EFL learners’ second language action word learning. Forty participants were enrolled and randomly assigned to the FM and the EE group in the experiment, with a 2 (learning procedure) * 2 (test delay) two-way factorial design adopted. After the learning session, participants in both groups completed a series of tests in 10 minutes and again on the next day. The results demonstrate stronger declarative memory of the novel action words through explicit encoding, whereas fast mapping is conducive to learners’ lexical and semantic integration.

Authors: Zeng Yuting
Published: January 2025

As society develops and the functions of administrative organs continue to expand, the phenomenon of violations of citizens’ rights is emerging, and the awareness of citizens’ rights is awakening. There is a growing demand for remedies not only for administrative violations, but also for administrative malpractices that violate rights. By reorganizing and integrating the relief channels, explore the advantages and disadvantages of different relief channels, build appropriate and effective relief mechanism. When administrative disputes arise from maladministration in administrative management activities, citizens can choose appropriate relief channels under the premise of following the principle of giving priority to intra-administrative remedies and final judicial remedies to effectively supervise administrative conduct and protect their rights and interests. China’s current system of relief channels for maladministration is a diversified and multi-level system of remedies with openness, with administrative reconsideration as the main channel, and with the traditional channels of administrative reconsideration, administrative litigation, letters and visits, and complaints and reports on administrative law enforcement as the basic channels, supplemented by the new channels of microblogging, mayor’s public telephone calls, and reception days for the head of the government, which will be enriched and improved over time and with the development of society.

Authors: S Jameer Ahamed. , S Ancy Rosaly. , Balasubramanian A. , C S. Anu. , T Citarasu.
Published: January 2025

Biosurfactants are surface-active agents synthesized by microorganisms, containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains. They lower surface tension at air/water interfaces and are primarily composed of polymeric heterosaccharide proteins. Nanotechnology manipulates nanoparticles, which have unique properties and biochemical and catalytic activity. Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are popular due to their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, used in various fields. In the current investigation, biosurfactant was extracted from the bacterial strains isolated from marine water samples at Chinna Muttom fishing harbor using a pure culture technique. These strains of were screened for surface activity assays for scrutinizing the strains. The biosurfactant was extracted using liquid-liquid extraction technique and yield was measured. The strains SF1 (CMST AJ 36) and SF2 (CMST AJ 53) had the highest yields, measuring 1.49 g/100 mL, 1.3 g/100 mL, and 1.28 g/100 mL from CMST AJ 56 respectively. Preliminary identification has done by TLC and ninhydrin test revealed the existence of a lipopetide and rhamnolipid band with Rf values of 0.90 (SF1) and 0.88 (SF2). However, the anthrone test indicated that SF3 contained glycolipids, with an Rf value of 0.74.
The biosurfactant derivatives were further confirmed by GCMS, the mass spectrum data showed that all three biosufactants included hexadecanoic acid, niacin, cyclopentane hexyl-, and octadecanoic acid. This was corroborated by the detection of functional groups using FTIR, which showed the existence of lipopeptide moieties in SF1, SF2, and SF3 at 1402.15 cm−1 (N-H stretching) and 1454.23 cm−1 (C-O stretching), respectively. In contrast, the presence of carboxylic acid in all three SFs (1, 2, and 3) indicated the derivative of glycolipids, as shown by the peaks between 1403.12 and 1402.15 cm−1 with C=O stretch. Silver nanoparticles have been synthesized using extracted bacterial biosurfactants, namely SF AgNP1 (1.67 g/100 mL), SF AgNP2 (1.71 g/100 mL), and SF AgNP3 (1.62 g/100 mL), were estimated the corresponding yields. The reduction of the silver mental ion into the equivalent nanoparticles is indicated by the presence of peaks in the FTIR spectrum at 3417 (O-H Stretching), 2922 (C-H Strech), 1632 (C=O Group), and 1383 (C-N stretching). Moreover, the crystallographic data of 2θ peaks at 27.549, 31.954, and 45.969 further demonstrated the synthesized biosurfactant AgNps was crystalline or amorphous. Additionally, the size of the synthesized nanoparticles was characterized using SEM at 16.19 KV magnification, the size range of the produced biosurfactant AgNP (SF AgNP1) was 254.0 to 309.8 nm, whereas SF AgNP2 and SF AgNP3 showed 214.9 to 379.1 nm and 233.9 to 399.4 nm in diameter, respectively.

Authors:   Assistant Professor of Tafseer and Quranic Sciences || College of Applied and Educational Sciences, Al-Nadra || University of Ibb, Al-lahabi Dr. Ahmed Qaid Ali
Published: January 2025

Abstract: The research aimed to highlight the justifications that allow the interpretation of words with their possible meanings according to interpreters. The researcher employed the descriptive-analytical approach, with the study taking an interpretive methodology by collecting the interpreters' opinions regarding the interpretation of words with their possible meanings. The study was divided into an introduction, a preface defining the terms of the research title, and seven sections of the justifications types. The study concluded with the key findings, the most important being that the interpretation of some words with their possible meanings is not arbitrary among interpreters but follows seven justifications that justify the interpretation with possible meanings: {the specific Qur'anic usage, prophetic clarification, implication, context, antonyms, expressions variety diversity, and linguistic sharing}. The justifications for interpreting words with possible meanings vary. Some are corresponding, such as the specific usage of the Qur'an and prophetic clarification, while others are based on the usage in the Arabic language, such as linguistic sharing and antonyms. Some linguistic factors may influence a word's shift toward one of its possible meanings. These justifications provide flexibility in the linguistic meaning, allowing words to have multiple meanings, which expands their use in various linguistic texts and contexts. Based on these findings, the researcher presented several important recommendations and suggestions.///المستخلص: هدف البحث إلى إبراز المسوّغات التي تُجيز تفسير الألفاظ بالمعاني المحتملة عند المفسرين، واستخدم الباحث منهج الوصف والتحليل، وكان البحث ذا منحى تفسيري من حيث جمع وتحليل أقوال المفسرين التي تناولت تفسير الألفاظ بالمعاني المحتملة، وتم تقسيم البحث إلى: مقدمة، وتمهيد، وسبعة مباحث تناولت بيان أقسام المسوّغات، وخُتِم البحث بأهم النتائج التي توّصل إليها الباحث ومنها: أن تفسير بعض الألفاظ بالمعاني المحتملة يسير وفق سبعة مسوّغات أدت إلى جواز التفسير بالمعنى المحتمل وهي: {عرف القرآن الخاص، البيان النبوي، التضمين، السياق، التضاد، التعبير بالتنوع، الاشتراك اللغوي}، ومنها أن موجبات تسويغ التفسير بالمعاني المحتملة تتنوّع فمنها: مسوغات توقيفية كعرف القرآن والبيان النبوي، ومسوغات عرفية بحسب الوضع الذي ورد عن لغة العرب نحو أن يكون للفظ أكثر من معنى كالاشتراك اللغوي والتضاد، ومن نتائج البحث أن بعض العوامل اللفظية التي يتعدى بها اللفظ قد يكون لها أثرا في انزياح اللفظ نحو أحد المعاني المحتملة، وأن هذه المسوغات تتيح الاتساع في المعنى اللغوي حيث أنها تكسب اللفظة معان لفظية عدة مما يؤدي إلى اتساع استخدامها في نصوص لغوية عدة وفي سياقات مختلفة. واستناداً للنتائج قدّم الباحث عدداً من التوصيات والمقترحات المهمة.

Published: January 2025

El presente estudio investiga el uso del ozono (O3) como agente mejorador en la elaboración de masas para cupcakes, evaluando su impacto en la calidad del producto final. Se realizaron pruebas sensoriales con diferentes concentraciones de ozono (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 y 2 ppm) para determinar su efecto en el sabor, textura y apariencia. La metodología incluyó la preparación de masas, seguida de un análisis organoléptico por un panel de expertos. Los resultados mostraron que la concentración de 1.5 ppm de ozono fue la más favorecida, destacándose por su superioridad en sabor y textura, lo que sugiere una mejora significativa en la retención de aire y la esponjosidad de los cupcakes. Las conclusiones indican que el ozono no solo mejora las propiedades físicas de la masa, sino que también puede ser una alternativa sostenible a los mejoradores químicos convencionales, ofreciendo un enfoque innovador en la panadería moderna. Este hallazgo tiene implicaciones relevantes para la industria alimentaria, promoviendo prácticas más saludables y sostenibles.
A systematic review and keyword network analysis of Korea Citation Index Journals (2004–2023)
Authors: Oh Yunkyoung , Her Eunsil
Published: January 2025

Objectives: Obesity rates are rapidly rising in Korea. Weight control is highly involved in obesity treatment. This study aimed to explore research trends related to weight control through keyword network analysis. By focusing on journals indexed in the Korea Citation Index (KCI), this study highlights trends specific to Korea, offering insights that reflect the country’s unique cultural and policy contexts in weight control research.Methods: This study collected keywords from weight control-related papers published in the KCI journal over the past 20 years. Keywords were cleaned through Textom (2024), and the relationships between key research issue frequency analysis, structural characteristics, and keywords were identified using Textom, UCINET6, and NetDraw.Results: Over the past 20 years, 40 to 50 studies related to weight control have been conducted each year. The Korean Journal of Community Nutrition had the largest number of published articles. Keyword frequency analysis showed that ‘obesity’ had the highest frequency. And the analysis of degree centrality and betweenness centrality, the keyword ‘obesity’ ranked the highest. CONCOR analysis identified four clusters: preventive health care, health management, physical health, and personal development.Conclusion: The results of this study showed that weight control research reflecting the characteristics of the times has been steadily progressing in relation to the rapidly increasing obesity in Korea, and when developing policies or setting research directions related to weight loss in the future, research should be conducted in a prospective manner by subdividing it according to groups and interests.
Exploratory Analysis of Operational Thermal Behavior in Electric Bus Batteries: A Diagnostic Perspective
Authors: Gaybor Miguel A. , Ullon Hernan R. , de Almeida Madon C.
Published: January 2025

This paper presents an analysis of the thermal behavior of electric bus batteries, emphasizing diagnostic techniques to identify potential issues in the Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS). Using real-time data from a CAN interface reader, the study focuses on temperature fluctuations and patterns that pose risks to the BTMS. Key findings include instances where maximum cell temperatures exceed safe operational limits, indicating a decline in BTMS effectiveness over time. The research also highlights the importance of monitoring the temperature difference (ΔT) between cells to ensure thermal distribution efficiency. Given the often limited data provided by electric vehicle manufacturers, this methodology demonstrates that early signs of thermal anomalies can be detected, offering valuable insights for improving maintenance strategies and ensuring the safety and longevity of electric bus batteries, particularly in climates where thermal management is crucial.

Gewaltfreiheit als Grenze rechtlicher Gewaltbefugnis?
Authors: Abraham Markus
Published: January 2025

Butler’s concept of nonviolence aims at questioning narratives that validate violence. In this paper, I evaluate the efficacy of her analysis by examining the most cogent instance of violence justification, i. e., the institution of self-defense. I show that her argumentation largely concerns the abusive invocation of self-defense rather than its legitimatory kernel. However, Butler offers two novel arguments that hold promise for challenging the justification of violence via the idea of self-defense.
Das Recht der öffentlichen Wiedergabe im Lichte der Dienstleistungsfreiheit
Authors: Brandt Fabian
Published: January 2025

This work is dealing with the conflict between Geoblocking in the EU and the principle of the internal market from a copyright perspective. The work focuses on the question, whether the prevailing interpretation of the right of communication to the public, on which the common practice of territorial exploitation of copyright protected content is based, is in line with the freedom of services. It concludes that an interpretation of the right of the communication to the public in line with EU primary law is necessary. This challenges territorial exploitation schemes and with that the use of Geoblocking in the EU.
Regionalisierung des Organallokationssystems
Authors: Müller Nadine
Published: January 2025

Since its enactment in 1997, the German Transplantation Act has been subject to legislative measures aimed at increasing organ availability, which have not yielded the expected success. In recent years, the political discourse has focused on introducing an opt-out solution, while critically ill patients remain on waiting lists for donor organs. The study analyzes for the first time a regionalization of the allocation system and demonstrates that under specific conditions, such a system can be integrated and lead to an increase in organ availability. A partially decentralized mode is proposed, which can be integrated into existing practices without fundamental system changes.
Sachliche Rechtfertigung im Rahmen von § 19a Abs. 2 GWB und Beweislastverteilung
Authors: Zober Marcel
Published: January 2025

The German legislator introduced with the 10th amendment to the ARC Sec. 19a ARC. Companies with paramount significance for competition across markets can justify their behavior on the merits of the case at hand in proceedings pursuant to Sec. 19a(2) ARC. They carry the burden of proof in this regard. The author analyses why the German legislator decided to allow companies to justify their behavior. The European legislator decided not to allow gatekeepers to justify their behavior in DMA proceedings, although the goal of the DMA is comparable. The author also analyses the reasons companies can invoke in order to justify their behavior and the admissibility and limits of the burden of proof placed on the companies.
IUU Fishing and the Obligations of Vessel Owner States
Authors: van Welzen Pieter
Published: January 2025

This book analyses the question whether states whose nationals are beneficial owners or operators of vessels engaged in illegal fishing (vessel owner states) in a foreign Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) have an obligation to act against such nationals with a focus on the situation in West Africa, one of the worst affected regions. It reviews the international legal regime that applies to fisheries in an EEZ and considers various sources of international law as well as state practice, including the rules of the European Union and the USA, that support the argument that there is such an obli-gation. Suggestions are given as to how vessel owner, coastal and flag states can give effect to this obligation.
