The Impact of Coercive Control Legislation for Transgender People in Australia
Authors: Sylvian Aaron
Published: February 2025

Legislation criminalising coercive control in intimate relationships is being considered in Australia. Currently, there is no consensus on the contents of such legislation, let alone an understanding of how coercive control manifests in LGBTQ+ relationships, and even less data specifically concerning transgender relationships to inform this legislation. This article aims to review what is known so that before legislation is drafted, its effects on transgender people can be considered to make sure that their unique requirements are addressed. Targeted research on the experiences of coercive control in transgender people’s relationships is necessary to ensure their perspectives are considered in national legal responses. In addition, recommendations will be made for how to avoid further disadvantages for transgender people.

Authors: An Zixi
Published: February 2025

In the 21st century, the media portrayal of women has become a critical social topic. The previously stereotyped, one-dimensional female representations in film and television have gradually disappeared, replaced by multidimensional female characters and a reconstructed gender value system. This paper takes the TV series Blossoms Shanghai as a case study, utilizing the semiotic theories of Saussure and Roland Barthes to analyze the characterization of women represented by Miss Wang, Li Li, and Lingzi. Furthermore, it delves into the series’ impact on society’s perception of “She Power” and explores the pathways through which this influence is realized.
How Abstract Thinking and Divergent Thinking Affect Chinese Education
Authors: Ai Lun
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the integration of abstract and divergent thinking into the Chinese educational system, traditionally dominated by rote memorization and high-stakes testing environments such as the Gaokao. Despite the success of this system in producing high-performing students on international assessments, it falls short in fostering creativity and critical thinking skills essential for the 21st-century global economy. Drawing on Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory and Guilford's Theory of Divergent Thinking, this study proposes educational reforms incorporating inquiry-based and project-based learning to cultivate these skills. The research utilizes a mixed methods approach, collecting both quantitative and qualitative data from urban and rural schools to assess the impact of these pedagogical strategies. The findings suggest that integrating abstract and divergent thinking significantly enhances creative problem-solving and adaptability among students, urging a shift in teacher training and curriculum design to prioritize these cognitive skills.
Ethic in the Films: How Zuoyou Explores Moral Problems Associated with Choice?
Authors: Liu Chutian
Published: February 2025

This paper asserts the complementary relationship between film and philosophy, using basic ethical theories to interpret the empathetic moral dilemmas presented in Zuoyou. Zuoyou presents a real-life inspired story where a divorced couple must decide whether to conceive a child naturally to save their daughter from leukemia. This narrative is analyzed within the context of Chinese cultural moral relativism and compared with Western perspectives on life ethics. The paper argues that the film's modern Chinese setting and the characters' middle-class identities challenge traditional ethical norms and reflect the complexity of ethical decision-making in contemporary society. On top of this, the paper emphasizes the importance of film in understanding human existence and the role of philosophy in analyzing film's ethical expressions.
The Interconnection of Art and Science in the Renaissance: Leonardo da Vinci's Anatomical Sketches and Their Contribution to Knowledge
Authors: Liu Ziqing
Published: February 2025

The period of Renaissance is known for significant advancement in art, literature, and science. It was marked by a surge of interest in learning from classical Greek and Roman ways of learning. As part of that interest in learning and discovering truth came a deeper exploration of human anatomy, which is about study of human bodily structure including muscle, veins, and bone. Artists like Leonardo Da Vinci during this period conducted anatomy to sketch how the body looked like beneath the skin. His sketches were not simply an artistic endeavor but also an advanced scientific inquiry into the functions of the body. This suggests that art and science cross path through the study of anatomy and that there exists a great connection between two fields. To evaluate how art and science intertwined through anatomy, this research focuses on several of Leonardo’s anatomical sketches to show how scientific practices were reflected in his artwork. This research concludes that Leonardo’s anatomy sketches synthesize art and science by using art materials to further one’s understanding of the scientific discipline. In sketching how body parts looked like beneath skin and tissue, Leonardo’s artistic exploration contributed to scientific inquiry to deepen understanding of the human body.
Analysis of iPhone Promotion Strategies during Taobao's "Double Eleven": A Study on Digital Media Marketing and Consumer Behavior
Authors: Gong Liya
Published: February 2025

Digital media has fundamentally reshaped societal structures and reconfigured consumption paradigms. As China's predominant e-commerce platform, Taobao commands substantial market dominance through strategic implementation of digital marketing mechanisms. During the "Double Eleven" promotional period, Taobao employs multifaceted operational strategies to enhance iPhone sales performance. While scarcity-driven marketing tactics effectively generate consumer urgency and stimulate purchase intentions, they concurrently induce market competition imbalances and erode consumer brand loyalty. The streamlined checkout mechanism demonstrates particular efficacy for iPhone transactions through cost-efficiency optimization and temporal economy, yet simultaneously escalates impulsive consumption tendencies and post-purchase return probabilities. The platform's choice architecture, characterized by default configurations and algorithmic recommendations, streamlines purchasing processes but introduces systemic bias that constrains consumer autonomy and disadvantages smaller merchants. Although Taobao's "Double Eleven" serves as a critical commercial infrastructure for iPhone distribution, its optimization strategies present dual effects: enhancing transactional efficiency while potentially distorting consumer decision-making accuracy and destabilizing merchant revenue streams.
The Study of the Relevance of Science and Art in the Renaissance Based on a Botanical Perspective
Authors: Liu Yunxi
Published: February 2025

In the past, research on botany during the Renaissance focused more on science, mainly on the background of the birth of botany, the role of scientific development in its advancement and subsequent development during the Renaissance. However, there is still a gap in research from an artistic perspective and the connection between botany and art. This article mainly focuses on the botanical paintings of the Renaissance period and the herbal history books before and after that period, analyzing the connection between science and art from a botanical perspective. This study compares the similarities and differences of plant paintings from different periods of the Renaissance through horizontal and vertical comparisons and combines the plant culture and naturalism of that period to interpret the connotations and symbols of plant elements in painting. Research has shown that the advancement of plant painting forms has promoted the development of plant science research, which further promotes the widespread application and deepening of plant elements in artistic works. Studies have shown that science and art in the Renaissance period mutually influenced and developed, forming a virtuous cycle.

Research on the Integration Path and Sustainable Development of Community Art Activities in the Aging Industry
Authors: Yang Tianyi
Published: February 2025

Community art activities are widely used and encouraged in the aging industry, and their long-term growth has become a current study focus. In today's increasingly urgent global aging crisis, it is critical to renew the elderly's zest for life and enhance their quality of life via creative activities. This essay will look at the integration process and long-term growth of community art activities in the aging industry. Community art events allow older people to express themselves and engage in society via a variety of art genres such as painting, music, and dance. This not only improves their quality of life, but it also successfully supports the community's cultural and spiritual civilizational growth. Second, creative activities may be used as a soft intervention method to improve the mental health of the elderly, such as by reducing depression and improving cognitive function. Integration of community art activities necessitates collaboration among the government, communities, and civic groups. The government may encourage and support the growth of creative activity by developing appropriate policies and giving financial assistance. To ensure their long-term viability and effectiveness, community institutions and civic organizations must commit to particular activity execution and administration. Sustainable development is essential for the effective integration of community art activities within the aging industry.

El derecho penal canónico como ultima ratio: ¿subsidiariedad u obligatoriedad de la acción criminal?
Authors: Castro Trapote Jorge
Published: February 2025

Canon criminal law as ultima ratio: Subsidiarity or obligatory nature of criminal action?
Canon criminal law has regained its efficacy in the 21st century after several decades of inaction. Both recent reforms and praxis reveal a canon law “unaccustomed” to dealing with criminal matters, and “disoriented” with respect to its own principles. Canon criminal law is in a state of metamorphosis towards a true system that knows how to weave together canonical principles and those of juridical civilization in accordance with human dignity. In this evolution of canonical criminal law, two principles are key: the principle of criminal legality and the principle of obligatory criminal action. The latter principle entails a reduced and effective canonical criminal law. The reform of canon 1341 has taken a step towards the efficacy of canon criminal law, although it is insufficient: a large part of canon criminal law is still not applied. On the other hand, the question arises as to whether it is possible to speak of the purposes of punishment being satisfied without an official resolution (procedural or procedural). In continuity with the reduction of discretion sought by the 2021 reform, it is proposed to place the concept of ultima ratio in the penal norm, and not in the criminal action.

Authors: Muditomo Arianto , Wahyudi Indra
Published: February 2025

Digital transformation is one that has been accelerated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that has hit the world since the end of 2019. As a sector that has proven reliable in facing the SME crisis, it is encouraged to accelerate its digital transformation process due to the distance limitation policy imposed during the pandemic. This article aims to assess the importance of understanding the right digital transformation model for each SME, especially in taking advantage of the accelerated momentum due to the social restriction policies imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, because choosing the right model will provide a better probability of successful transformation. This research is qualitative research through content analysis to produce a theoretical model construction of the digital transformation model for SMEs in Indonesia which we call the reasonable digital transformation model for SME (R-DT for SME). The conclusion obtained is that based on the mapping of the digital transformation of SMEs in Indonesia on the R-DT model, it can be concluded that: (1) The main trigger for DT UKM is the external driver, not many internal drivers have been found, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. what is done is still reactive in nature and tends to only follow the steps of the transformation of other actors so as not to create a uniqueness of the said SMEs which will result in the loss of opportunities to have a competitive advantage over competitors; (2) In general, the implementers of DT UKM have set a strategic imperative for their decision to carry out digital transformation, but have not set a measurable milestones so that the digital transformation carried out cannot be measured the level of success; (3) DT which is done in general is to change some of the company's operations to digital, this shows the low digital maturity of SMEs in Indonesia today.
Women’s Role in Mitigation and Disaster Management
Authors: Sumarni Lilik , Rudiatin Endang
Published: February 2025

The impact of climate change caused by global warming is currently one of the trending topics in various media and it is an extremely serious threat to human security. Forest fires, floods, landslides and changes in lifestyles to survive natural disasters are the very significant contributing factors to poverty rates in various parts of the world. The London School of Economics and Political Science conducted a study of 141 countries affected by disasters in the 1981-2002 period and found a close link between natural disasters and women's socioeconomic status. Data from the National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB) states that women have 14 times of risk for becoming victims of disasters compared to adult men. Women become the most victimized because women prioritize children and their families rather than saving themselves. Although women bear more risks to climate change, women can also have the principal opportunity and role in implementing climate change mitigation adaptation, namely by making women actors in disaster mitigation and drivers of change in parallel to their strong responsibilities to their families. By providing adequate knowledge for women about adaptation and mitigation of disasters, the women can turn themselves to be the strategic activists in coping with disasters for communities living in disaster-prone areas.This study is a comparative discussion of three research results to obtain an overview and find solutions to women's problems from the consequences of climate change, which is a study by changing women from being the most victims of natural disasters to becoming the driving actor for families and communities in overcoming disaster and her ability to survive the post-disaster situation. The conclusion is the three levels of gender roles related to climate change to increase women's adaptive capacity. An adaptation strategy needs the form of 1. Increasing the role of women in the political arena. It is a crucial issue because women's rights can be protected by their presence and role, as well as women in guarding policies. 2. Increasing the role of women in the realm of education. Education is no less important than politics because education will provide a foundation for understanding and self-confidence, bargaining and personal branding for women so that their presence in society will be recognized and will no longer be discriminated. 3. Cultural reconstruction based on gender equality is very important because so far, the notion of patriarchy is still inherent in our culture. Many perspectives are cooptated on the statement that superior (men) are stronger then give rise women mythos that is said to be weak (women). In reality, the presence of women is still fundamental to the aspect of maintaining the economy and education for the continuation and the quality of the life in the society.

Studying the Potentials of Chitosan as a Heterogeneous Catalyst for Methyl Ester Production from Watermelon Seed Oil
Authors: Akor Hillary , Akor Ojodale , Bello Friday
Published: February 2025

Over the years several efforts have been geared towards the exploitation of Biodiesel owing to the world’s crude oil reserve depletion coupled with the consumption rate, increase in greenhouse effect, and its scarcities. This has lifted issues related to its conservation and eco-friendliness which brought about renewed interest in the use of bio-based substances. This research work was targeted at synthesizing chitosan and using it as a heterogeneous catalyst for the conversion of water melon seed oil to biodiesel; this heterogeneous catalyst is promising for the transesterification reactions of vegetable oils due to its economic benefits. More so, it is environmentally benign and can be operated in continuous processes (reused) unlike homogeneous catalysts. Chitosan was prepared from the deacetylation of chitin sourced from fish scale, from which 62.18% and 17.82% were obtained as their percentage yield respectively. The catalyst was then used in the transesterification reaction of water melon seed oil with methanol. The effects of reaction time (45 to 105 min), methanol/fatty acid molar ratio (1.5:1 to 7.5:1), reaction temperature (55 to 70°C), and catalyst concentration (0.25 to 1.25 wt%) on the biodiesel production were studied. From the response surface model result, it was found that the highest yield (94 %) was obtained at 60 °C with 1 wt% catalyzed for 90 mins and molar ratio of 6:1 which was at a high concentration of catalyst (1 wt%), while the lowest result was obtained at lower concentration of the catalyst (0.25 wt%). Based on the results obtained from the characterization of this biodiesel and comparing it with the relevant standard, it proved that chitosan maintained sustainable activity and shows a good quality of being used as a heterogeneous catalyst.
Comprehensive Review of Mycotoxin Exposure in Nigerian Infants: Biomarker Analysis and Baby Food Contamination
Authors: Apeh Daniel , Bello Abdur , Apeh Keleojo , Yomi Sunday
Published: February 2025

Toxic fungal metabolites called mycotoxins threaten the health of infants and young children in Nigeria, as in many other parts of the world, where dietary staples and baby foods are frequently contaminated due to conducive climatic conditions and suboptimal agricultural practices. This review synthesizes experimental and epidemiological evidence of early-age exposure to mycotoxins, focusing on studies that utilized biomarkers in body fluids (urine, blood, breast milk) and reported contamination in baby foods or formulas in Nigeria. Aflatoxins (AFs), fumonisins (FBs), ochratoxin A (OTA), deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN), and citrinin (CIT) emerged as prevalent contaminants, detected at levels exceeding international safety thresholds. Biomarker analyses reveal chronic exposure through breast milk and complementary foods, with urinary and blood markers indicating intake beyond tolerable limits. Contaminated baby foods, including maize-based ogi and industrially processed tom brown, amplify exposure risks. The implications for child development are severe, with aflatoxins linked to stunting, fumonisins to neural deficits, and OTA to potential renal damage. Multi-mycotoxin exposure may synergistically worsen physical growth retardation and mental development delays, compounded by Nigeria’s socioeconomic challenges. This review highlights the urgent need for enhanced regulatory oversight, improved food storage practices, and expanded biomonitoring to protect vulnerable populations. Longitudinal studies are recommended to elucidate long-term developmental impacts and inform evidence-based interventions.

234 students of RMU from first, third, and final year were surveyed to determine stress and depression. Data was gained via PHQ-9 and PSS-10 and analyzed through SPSS, employing various tests to determine relationship between variables. A p-value <0.05 was considered noteworthy.
Results:
A total of 234 medical students (140 females, 94 males) were enrolled. Mean scores for stress and depression were 21.50 (SD=6.64) and 11.01 (SD=6.4), respectively. Independent sample T-tests revealed significantly higher stress (t(232) = -4.682, p=0.001) and depression (t(232) = -2.798, p=0.006) in females compared to males. One-way ANOVA demonstrated that attendance records significantly influenced depression (f(2,231) = 7.908, p=0.001) and stress (f(2,231) = 6.741, p=0.001). Additionally, stress levels significantly varied with students' academic levels (f(2,231) = 3.429, p=0.034). Pearson correlation analysis showed a strong positive correlation between stress and depression (r=0.617, N=234, p=0.001), indicating that higher stress levels were associated with increased depression.
Conclusion:
There is a high correlation between stress and depression among medical students in Pakistan. Comprehensive mental health support systems and change in current policies are therefore needed to alleviate the situation.

Authors: nl Cihan , ksel Dilek , Duman Sunay
Published: February 2025

Objective: In this study, we aimed to assess the functional outcomes of the use of silicon rod (SR) and autogenous fascia lata (AFL) for frontalis suspension surgery (FSS) and compare the results with each other.

Material- Methods: The medical records of the thirty-six eyes of 29 patients with blepharoptosis, who underwent frontalis suspension surgery during 1999 and 2003 were retrospectively reviewed. Two groups were defined according to the sling material utilized in FSS; AFL group and SR group.

Results: A total of 29 patients were included in the study (range 9 months to -28 years). Twenty-four eyes of 18 patients (mean age 12.2 years, range 4 years- 28 years) were included in the AFL group and 12 eyes of 11 patients ( mean age 5.6 years, range 9 months-12 years) were included in the SR group. The mean follow-up time was 16.4 months. AFL group yielded 91.7% satisfactory results with no recurrence in ptosis. In contrast, SR group yielded 83.3% satisfactory results and 16.7% recurrence in ptosis. In terms of satisfactory results, there was not a significant difference between the groups (p >0.05).

Conclusion: Over the age of 3 years, we recommend AFL as the material of choice for FSS due to better functional results. However, in patients less than 3 years old and in selected cases who have the risk of postoperative exposure keratopathy, SR should be preferred due to the ease of management postoperatively.

Fire Alert System Using Cctv Surveillance
Authors:   2 Computer Science & Engineering, Rajeev Institute of Technology, Hassan, Parveen Ruksar
Published: February 2025

- Fire accidents are a common occurrence in farm fields, especially during summer. Since farmers cannot monitor the fields round-the-clock, our system uses fire detection sensors to identify fire incidents in the farm field. Upon detection, an alert message is sent to the farmer via SMS, along with the IP address of the connected camera, enabling the farmer to view live footage of the field. Additionally, the system incorporates smoke detection, which serves as an early warning mechanism. When smoke is detected, an alert message is displayed on the LCD, allowing preventive action before a fire breaks out.

Key words: Fire detection, Smoke sensors, Alert system  Live camera feed, SMS notification, Farm fire prevention.
