Published: February 2025

Autism affects adults, requiring tailored learning strategies and support services. Individual education programs (IEPs) can adjust interventions to accommodate cognitive age, while industrialized education aims to create an inclusive environment. Structured, predictable, and aesthetically ordered learning environments are best for adults with autism. Every IEP goal for the students in both groups was drawn from the kindergarten through fourth-grade criteria. As students entered puberty, low level of total aims and further curricular changes were made for the both groups of students. Most IEP goals focused on fundamental symptoms of autism such as communication skills rather than the growth of academic skills. This research examines educational programs for autistic teenagers (12–18) in involvement goals (IG) and non-involvement goals (NIG) conditions evidenced facilities, and curriculum adjustments. The overall number of IEP goals for youth guidelines standard education was lower. Still, those goals were more heavily weighted toward the growth of applied skills, as opposed to those for students who were not included and focused more on rote and procedure learning. Adults with autism can benefit from enhanced cognitive development in areas including attention, memory, problem-solving, and critical thinking by receiving education and therapies that are appropriate for their cognitive stage. In conclusion, two key components of tailored education for individuals with autism are comprehends the cognitive age and developing a suitable learning environment.

Published: February 2025

Healthcare practitioners must carefully consider patient data and draw reliable conclusions as part of the diagnostic procedure. Additionally, it is essential for moral and legal reasons to safeguard patient anonymity. This aims to improve patient care and healthcare outcomes by examining how critical thinking can improve diagnostic accuracy and confidentiality. The descriptive quantitative approach was adopted in this pilot investigation. Fifty instructors from a local hospital in an informal sample. The data was gathered by online surveys that were pre- and post-administered by the lead investigator.  Quick post-classroom survey responses revealed gains in all measures of perceived capacity for imparting critical thinking. All response rates increased between the pre-and post-training surveys, with the ranking of the capacity to impart critical thinking being the only question where ratings increased. Staff involved in nursing advancement should be able to conduct a self-assessment of their proficiency in this area. When gaps in knowledge are exposed, remediation through teaching is warranted.

Published: February 2025

Quality of life (QoL) and recovery are two widely regarded outcomes of psychiatric treatments around the world. Research highlights the potential of community involvement to enhance performance and foster progress. A survey involving 606 individuals with severe mental disorders assessed their levels of engagement, recovery, and overall satisfaction with life. The findings reveal that social involvement has a modest but statistically significant positive impact on both rehabilitation rates and general well-being. Follow-up studies further establish a correlation between recovery and life satisfaction when individuals actively participate in specific forms of engagement, with causal inferences drawn from these correlational analyses. The results suggest that emphasizing community engagement in psychological health organizations presents an opportunity to enhance rehabilitation and QoL. Research also discusses future directions, along with implications for policies and practices within the context of psychological rehabilitative initiatives.

Published: February 2025

The present study aimed to finding out the influence of each of these variables-actual self-concepts, ideal self-concepts, social self-concept, ideal social concept and ought to self-concept on consumer’s product adoption. The study adopted survey research design. The population of the study was 620 drawn from students of high institutions in Nigeria. The study adopted census sample sample size determination. The findings of the study indicated that consumers' actual self-concept has a significant and positive effect on product adoption (r = 0. 856; t = 31. 072; p< 0.05) .There is a significant positive relationship between consumers' ideal self-concept and product adoption (r =.819, P<.05). There is a significant positive relationship between consumes' ideal social self-concept and product adoption (r =.769, P<.05). There is a significant positive relationship between Consumers' social self-concept and traits of product adoption (r =.843, P<.05). Implication of the study is that the manufacturers of consumer products should differentiate products that ‘fit into one of the aforementioned variables to improve consumer’s self-perception. The study recommends that consumers should match the knowledge of self-concept to product adoption to determine areas of optimal strengths, eliminate areas of unprofitable laggards, and ignite the culture of product quality adoption excellence. Among other things, conclusions were made that the perception and the way and manner consumers see themselves serve as a determinant of the response that may lead to product adoption.
Self-Division and the Formation of a Resistant Subject in the Korean Occult Drama : The Case of SBS Drama Revenant
Authors:   K-Culture·Story Contents Research Institute, Lee In
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the patterns of self-division in the narrative structure of Revenant, focusing on the transformation of San-young Koo into a resistant subject through possession. According to Seong-min Hong, subjects construct their selfhood through the symbolic system in interaction with ideology, and their attitude toward reality is shifted by the dynamics of affective structures. The protagonist, San-young, experiences a divided state while constructing an identity aligned with various ideologies of reality. This division is manifested in two opposing drives: the drive for self-preservation, which seeks to protect oneself by violating societal taboos, and the superego, which enforces compliance with the principles of reality dictated by ideology.
The ideologies represented in the drama are divided into survival ideology and moral ideology. The self-preservative drive achieves its goals for capitalist survival through extreme means, such as murder. The evil spirit, Hyang-yi Lee, is a violent eruption of the will to survive derived from survival ideology. As a figure enjoying forbidden jouissance, Hyang-yi is an inverted manifestation of survival ideology, created through Byung-hee Na's taejagwi. Byung-hee represents the control and regulation of survival ideology and is portrayed as a villain who uses Hyang-yi to eliminate her obstacles through malevolent bargains.
Through possession, San-young relives the events of the cursed amulet's creation, witnesses the violence enforced by survival ideology, and transforms into a resistant subject seeking to exorcize the spirit. This resistance does not aim to eliminate Hyang-yi's violent drive but to break free from the coercion of ideology, restore balance, and reclaim her subjectivity. However, this resistance remains within the influence of ideology, which highlights its inherent limitations. The somewhat fragmented plot of the drama reflects the persistent nature of self-division, which the narrative ultimately fails to resolve. Nevertheless, Revenant suggests the possibility of San-young's emergence as a resistant subject, demonstrated by her resolve to live on despite the cost of blindness.
Shelter and Affect as Collective Experience in the Post-Apocalypse : Focusing on
Authors:   K-Culture·Story Contents Research Institute, Park Sung-Jun
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the meaning of ‘apartment’, which can be said to be the main setting of , based on the properties of shelter and genre norms used in post-apocalyptic works. Shelter means a place of refuge and shelter, and a space where people can settle down in the post-apocalypse. People in the post-apocalypse create shelters and gather in shelters to form a community. A community formed in this way cannot help but create its own order. This is because in order for a community to ‘survive’ in the post-apocalypse, a post-apocalyptic order is needed, not a pre-apocalyptic order. Therefore, in post-apocalyptic works, shelters are depicted as spaces of conflict, confrontation, and violence that occur under the absolute proposition of ‘survival.’ From this perspective, this paper aims to clarify what messages the shelter and works set in shelters convey in terms of genre, and to discuss the meaning of the ‘apartment’ in  based on this. To this end, this paper focuses on the leader of the three characters who play a narrative role in post-apocalyptic works set in shelters, Young-tak, and examines the process of Young-tak becoming the leader of the residents of the palace apartments through the concept of emotion. Through this, Young-tak is a murderer, a conman, a cold-blooded, and a coward, but what justifies him in the film is that Young-tak’s appearance is not so different from ours. Through this, I examined the ‘apartment’ and the Koreans of today that  is trying to reflect on.
The Use of Semiotic Technologies to Foster Analytical, Creative, and Practical Skills of Gifted Students: Teacher Perspectives
Authors: Ayık Zekai , Gül Muhammet Davut
Published: February 2025

This study examines the role of semiotic technologies in gifted educa-tion, focusing on how these tools support differentiation and the develop-ment of analytical, creative, and practical skills in gifted students, as outli-ned by Sternberg’s theory of successful intelligence. Using a qualitative case study design, six teachers from a gifted pull-out school (Science and Arts Center) in Turkey participated through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. MAXQDA was used for thematic analysis. Thema-tic analysis revealed that semiotic technologies enable differentiated instruc-tion by allowing teachers to tailor content and engagement strategies to stu-dents' needs. Analytical skills were supported through problem-solving tasks, creative abilities through digital design and experimentation, and practical skills through collaborative, real-world applications. However, teachers reported challenges, including limited infrastructure, lack of formal training, and the rapid pace of technological change, which hindered the full integration of these tools. Teachers expressed a strong need for ongoing professional development to enhance their proficiency and confidence in using semiotic technologies effectively. While the study highlights the poten-tial of semiotic technologies to deepen engagement and learning, limitations such as the small sample size, reliance on self-reported data, and a single institutional context suggest caution in generalizing results. This research contributes to understanding technology’s role in gifted education and emphasizes the need for further studies incorporating quantitative data and broader samples to comprehensively assess the impact of semiotic technolo-gies on differentiation and skill development in diverse educational settings.

Community service is one of the pillars of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education which aims to provide real contributions to improving community welfare. In this context, the community service program implemented in RW 03, Paledang Village, Bogor City, aims to educate and intervene in health problems, especially hypertension. Hypertension was chosen based on the results of initial data analysis which showed the prevalence of high blood pressure reaching 66% in the community. Activities included hypertension gymnastics, health education, and melon juice distribution, which were carried out in a participatory manner by nursing students and supervising lecturers. The implementation method consisted of three stages: planning through data collection and analysis, implementation of educational and promotive activities, and evaluation to identify obstacles and impacts of the program. The results showed an almost even distribution between men and women, with the majority of respondents in the middle adult age group (40–59 years) and secondary education level (high school/vocational high school). These findings indicate that a community-based education and intervention approach can increase public awareness of the importance of preventing and controlling hypertension. This program has a positive impact, both for the community and students, through direct application of knowledge, improving public health, and strengthening the role of the nursing profession in the community.
The Deep End
Authors: Callaghan Mary Rose
Published: February 2025

One day, when Mary Rose Callaghan was 13, her mother jumped into the freezing Irish Sea. Knowing that her mother was an asthmatic, the shock of seeing her dive into “the deep end” began Mary Rose’s curiosity about her mother’s life. That curiosity spawned the writing of this memoir, a coming-of-age tale focused on Mary Rose’s relationship with her mother, which endured through economic hardship, and her mother’s descent into mental illness and alcoholism. The Deep End begins by tracing her mother’s arrival in Ireland in the 1930s, training to be a nurse, and marriage to Mary Rose’s father, continues through Mary Rose’s difficult childhood and later success as a writer, and culminates with her marriage to Robert Hogan and her mother’s death.
José Artigas and the Federal League in Uruguay's War of Independence (1810-1820)
Authors: Katra William H.
Published: February 2025

This is a history book that studies the thought and actions of José Gervasio Artigas throughout the decade of his prominence (1810 –1820) as leader of the Federal League, which united his native territory of Uruguay to four neighboring provinces in today’s Argentina.

This was the period when the Spanish king’s abdication propelled elites across that country’s former American colonies to hastily construct new local institutions to carry on governing functions and to assure order and stability. Within a few years that new leadership had to do battle against the armies sent by Spain’s new leadership that attempted to reassert its control.

In the Banda Oriental—today’s Uruguay—Artigas, with democratic and egalitarian values, enjoyed wide support among the rural poor as well as the landed elite. His military victories over the Spanish, and then his successful defense of provincial autonomy before the imperialist ambitions of Buenos Aires, account for the spread of his influence to neighboring provinces and the creation of the Federal League.

His short-term successes infuriated powerful elites in both Buenos Aires and the Portuguese colonies of today’s Brazil. These, allied to the newly potent British empire, then collaborated to bring about his defeat. Artigas’ career, as seen in retrospect, was riddled with contradiction and ambiguity, yet his record of achievements is worthy of remembrance and honor.

The book provides information, largely ignored by previous historians, about his important dealings with three central figures in Argentina’s independence movement: Generals Manuel Belgrano. Martín Güemes, and José de San Martín.

Christianity, Politics, and the Predicament of Evil
Authors: Burroughs Bradley B.
Published: February 2025

Christianity, Politics, and the Predicament of Evil overcomes a defining divide in contemporary Protestant political ethics created by two contrasting conceptions of politics. The first, exemplified in the work of Reinhold Niebuhr, construes politics as a matter of statecraft that utilizes the power of government to secure the greatest possible order and justice for society as a whole. The second, most prominently articulated by Stanley Hauerwas, maintains that politics concerns itself with the cultivation of virtue; consequently, it finds not the “well-ordered state” but the church to be the exemplar of politics.

Not only illuminating the divide between politics-as-statecraft and politics-as-soulcraft but also redeveloping the conceptual space between them, this book reconceives politics within a theological framework in which the eschatological City of God, rather than the well-ordered state or the faithful church, functions as the paradigm of political life. At the same time, it simultaneously recognizes that the existence of evil, which corrupts individual wills and social structures, inhibits human beings from building the City of God in this world. Analyzing, criticizing, and drawing resources from Niebuhr and Hauerwas, as well as looking beyond to Augustine, Martin Luther King, Jr., and others, this book specifies the respective roles of soulcraft and statecraft in a political ethic capable of guiding Christians as they witness to God’s eschatological intention to establish the City of God in a world currently mired in the predicament of evil.
The Ministry of Paul the Apostle
Authors: Greene G. Roger
Published: February 2025

Everyone knows the supposed life story of Paul the apostle, but then again they may not. As it is generally drawn from the book of Acts, Paul had a dramatic conversion on the “road to Damascus,” undertook “three missionary journeys,” and returned a final time to Jerusalem. He was arrested for creating a riot, held prisoner in Caesarea, and upon his appeal to Caesar was finally transported to Rome as a prisoner. Dotted, dashed, or colored lines on countless numbers of maps document Paul’s “three missionary journeys” and his journey to Rome, as these are commonly discerned in the book of Acts.

Paul’s letters and the book of Acts itself, however, may tell a different story than the one customarily perceived—perhaps a less familiar story, but perhaps a more factual one. The Ministry of Paul the Apostle represents a significant paradigm shift for understanding Paul’s ministry which involves two major campaigns, an ordered awareness of Paul’s ministry as far as Illyricum, a revision of Paul’s Corinthian ministry, an historical confirmation of visits to Jerusalem, an appropriate ordering and reaffirmation of Paul’s letters, including Romans 16 as a letter to Ephesus. In addition, the current study offers a new paradigm for correlation between our sources of Paul’s letters and the book of Acts, with the development of an underlying source tradition behind Acts. The reader is thus invited to participate in a significant re-evaluation of Paul’s ministry and a proposed solution to a long-standing mystery of correlation between Paul’s letters and Acts.

When one travels with Paul, one engages in a voyage of discovery. This book makes sense of the mystery of Paul’s ministry, which when properly understood, becomes an illuminating foundational window of clarity for sorting out a bewildering multitude of theological formulations of the enigmas of Paul’s thought. It is through a thorough awareness of the ministry of Paul that one comes to appreciate the contextual nature and depth of Paul’s theological thought. One comes to a new appreciation of Paul’s place in early Christianity, relevant even for those who live in a post-modern age.

Using Stack Modelling Technique for Student Performance Prediction: An Educational Data Mining Approach
Authors: Saleem Azqa , Talha  , Noor Muhammad Asim
Published: February 2025

Educational Data Mining (EDM) and
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) collaboratively
enhance the quality of learning outcomes.
Academic institutions strive to establish admission
criteria that enable the selection of high-performing
and deserving students. In recent years, EDM has
garnered significant attention in research,
facilitating the prediction of student performance
and the identification of systemic inefficiencies.
This study investigates the application of stacked
ensemble models for student performance
prediction and evaluates their performance against
baseline classification models, including Decision
Trees, Random Forests, Naïve Bayes, and Support
Vector Machines (SVM). The findings demonstrate
that the stacked model surpasses the baseline
models in predictive accuracy and reliability.
However, the study also reveals that the achieved
prediction accuracies remain suboptimal. It
highlights the need for incorporating additional
parameters, alongside prior academic records, to
improve predictive performance and establish a
more robust merit-based admission criterion.
The analysis underscores that the dataset utilized
for predicting student academic performance,
based on their prior or ongoing academic standing,
does not yield promising outcomes. No significant
correlation was observed between the variables
derived from preliminary academic records (NTS
scores, intermediate percentage, and matriculation
percentage) and the predicted CGPAs. This
indicates that the dataset exhibits stochastic
behavior, suggesting that the factors currently
employed in admission decision-making lack
predictive utility for forecasting student
performance. Consequently, the findings highlight
the need for policymakers to reevaluate the
admission criteria, as the existing parameters are
insufficient for reliably predicting academic
outcomes using historical data.

Variable Neighborhood Search for Red–Blue Separating Set in Graphs
Authors: Milojković Dara
Published: February 2025

The article explores the concept of the red-blue separating set for graphs,
a topic that has been mainly addressed in
fields like geometric computation but is less
frequently studied in graph theory. The focus
is on applying variable neighborhood search to
Erd¨os–R´enyi graphs with red and blue vertices.
The goal is to find a minimal red-blue separating set,
ensuring that for every red-blue vertex pair,
there exists a vertex s in the separation
set such that the closed neighborhood of
s contains either a red or a blue vertex.
Variable neighborhood search algorithm is implemented
in Python on generated graph instances
with different colors. A brute-force algorithm
is also used to compare the results on small–
scale instances to those obtained with variable
neighborhood search. As the number of vertices and edges increases,
variable neighborhood search demonstrates the ability
to provide acceptable solutions more efficiently than
brute-force method.</

Las disciplinas de Agustín y la unidad del ‘De musica’
Authors: D’Anselmi Luca ,   Order of Augustinian Recollects
Published: February 2025

In the six books of mus., the only substantial part of his early disciplinary project that survives, Augustine presents an educational ascent from sensible matter to self-knowledge and the knowledge of God through a single arithmetical discipline: music. Much scholarship has expressed doubts concerning the unity of mus. with the preface of mus. 6 (= mus. 6, 1, 1), leading to a view of mus. as a bifurcated work in which mus. 6, 1, 1 represents a later rejection of the disciplinary vision contained in the rest of the mus. and other early works such as ord. My argument to the contrary has four sections. First, I outline the composition history of mus. Second, I provide a brief review of scholarship treating mus. 6, 1, 1 and its relation to the rest of mus. and early works like ord. Third, I argue that the vision of the disciplines in ord. and the rest of mus. is entirely coherent with mus. 6, 1, 1. I conclude by suggesting that recent scholarship has overly emphasized a negative shift in Augustine’s later thought regarding the disciplines.
The Impact of Factionalism on Political Parties in Nepal
Authors: Thapa Santa Bahadur
Published: February 2025

This paper explores factionalism in Nepalese political parties and its causes and effects on party factions. Nepal’s political culture is rife with factionalism, splinter groups, and power struggles. The paper traces the historical development of factionalization from ideological conflict and personal rivalry. The paper segments society into groups based on ideology, personality, geography, and one-off issues. It analyzes the negative impact of factionalism on party discipline, stability, policymaking, and government. This paper examines the social non-linearities of leadership in factionalism and shows how their presence makes effective leadership essential to combatting factionalism's effects. This case study of major Nepalese political parties is technically an objective and practical demonstration of factionalism. A global perspective can enhance many of the firm conclusions based on case studies of factionalism within political parties in various countries. The paper suggests ways of dealing with and tackling the issue of factionalism, including the importance of keeping its internal democracy and communication and showing how to deal with elements that would not help. The paper concludes with possible driving factors behind this exclusive mirage of a political system. It suggests a few essential recommendations to subdue factionalism, like strengthening leadership, intra-party democracy, improving the legislative mechanisms, etc. It essentially places the responsibility on concern for factionalism, which can stymie effective government and dilute the moral legitimacy of democracy in Nepal.

Information Technology (IT) in the industrial world is an important part in the development of business processes and plays a vital role, including for PT Pamapersada Nusantara. To maintain the continuity of its business process activities, PT Pamapersada Nusantara is aware of the need for continuous control. This control effort is closely related to the increased risk from the application of information technology. Risks that have a negative impact have the potential to threaten the sustainability of the organization's business activities if they reach certain criteria, making it a disaster. This has prompted PT Pamapersada Nusantara to prepare for the possibility of a disaster. The purpose of this activity is to prepare an IT Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP). DRP is a type of contingency plan that includes the preparation and response of an organization in the event of a disaster. The preparation of this DRP is guided by the NIST SP 800-34 framework, which begins with risk identification and assessment, Business Impact Analysis (BIA), identification of preventive controls and preparation of contingency strategies. After these steps have been taken, it is continued with the development of a contingency plan which includes plans for the activation phase, recovery phase and reconstitution phase. The result of this activity is a DRP document that is adapted to the organizational conditions of PT Pamapersada Nusantara. This DRP document contains a service recovery guide along with preventive measures before a disaster occurs. Keywords : disaster, risk, disaster recovery plan, NIST SP 800-34.

Oil (crude) refineries are a fundamental infrastructure of the primary energy in the world. Fuel oil and its derivative products are important commodities needed by society and industry and have always been a concern for every government in the world because of its strategic values (economic, political, and security factors). In Indonesia, the oil and gas industry play a very important role for the nation. In the early days of independence, crude oil was the prima donna of exports commodities and as the foundation of development in Indonesia. But over time, when massive development took place and Indonesia's economy continued to grow into a developing country followed by population growth, this sector was in the spotlight because it was the culprit for contributing to Indonesia's massive import value. Various efforts were made by the Indonesian government to realize energy self-sufficiency so as not to depend entirely on imports, for example through Pertamina as a state-owned enterprise to build the Balongan Refinery. The Balongan refinery was designed and built using the most advanced technology and configurations at the time so that it could process low-cost heavy/very heavy crude oil into a variety of fuels, petrochemicals, and other products. Despite having a highly advanced configuration (11.9 NCI) that far exceeds other domestic refineries as well as refineries in Asia, the Balongan Refinery is under economic pressure from various external factors, such as rising crude oil prices and the preference for higher-priced product types by the market. This research seeks to address and formulate the strategies for the Balongan Refinery to improve its operating performance and economics. The important aspects of the strategy that were researched and evaluated, which were then proposed as the main findings in this study, were the strategy of utilizing potential crude oil alternatives and the strategy of diversifying superior products referring to product price trends in the market. This study also found that flexibility in the selection and processing of potential crude oil by means of an adaptive approach to the actual conditions faced, do not just be strict with design figures, at attractive prices is the key to ensuring the operational and business sustainability of the Balongan Refinery.
