Glioblastoma Management in the Post-COVID-19 Era: Challenges, Strategies, and Adaptations
Authors: Ren Xiaohui , Qin Ling
Published: January 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted glioblastoma (GBM) management, affecting its pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. GBM, an aggressive brain tumor with poor survival rates, presented unique vulnerabilities during the pandemic due to its rapid progression and patients’ compromised immunity. SARS-CoV-2 may also influence GBM progression by binding to overexpressed receptors on glioblastoma cells, potentially activating oncogenic pathways. This interaction highlights the potential for COVID-19 to exacerbate tumor aggressiveness. Diagnostic delays resulted in increased tumor volumes, while treatment pathways adapted with minimally invasive surgeries, hypofractionated radiotherapy, and telemedicine to ensure continuity of care. Despite these innovations, survival outcomes varied globally, with centers adopting flexible protocols reporting fewer adverse impacts. Vaccination emerged as a critical tool, with prioritization for GBM patients and minimal adverse effects, providing protection against severe COVID-19. This paper explores the multifaceted impact of COVID-19 on GBM, detailing disruptions and strategies that paved the way for resilient neuro-oncological care during and after the pandemic.
Flexible Error Specification in CAPM
Authors: O. Zapata Hector , S. Adebayo Damilola
Published: January 2025

A four-parameter Generalized Lambda Distribution (GLD) quantile regression is applied to a standard capital asset pricing model (CAPM) error specification to jointly estimate moments of the residuals using the daily prices of two farmland Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), Nasdaq: LAND and NYSE: FPI as a function of the U.S. S&P 500 from April 2014 to August 2024. The GLD regression also captures the effect of outliers found in the OLS CAPM model, resulting in a closer fit to the theoretical distribution of the GLD residuals. Simulation results revealed symmetrically distributed CAPM coefficients of farmland REITs. The findings suggest that LAND and FPI do not offer portfolio diversification beyond that provided by a market index such as the S&P 500. While the numerical magnitude of the estimated coefficients from the GLD regression is identical to those of least squares, the GLD estimates are more accurate and robust to outliers and more consistent with the distributional properties of daily returns. Future research with this relatively new regression method is briefly discussed.
Is Man Just a Rational Animal?
Authors: Casarosa Matteo ,   University of South Bohemia
Published: January 2025

In this paper, I propose a view of real definitions such that a difference of a species need not presuppose all of the differences that occur in the definition of the genus it qualifies. In such a case, two differences can be swapped in the definition of the species. Under this view, the correct diagrammatic representation of the subdivision of genera into species is a graph possibly containing cycles, rather than a tree as commonly assumed. Applying this theory, I respond to Joseph Gredt’s claim that “rational animal” cannot be further specified except accidentally, as rationality does not admit further specification. I also tackle a different argument by David Oderberg to the effect that all possible rational animals, even merely possible ones, are of the same metaphysical species.
Cosme de Lerma on Logical Consequence
Authors: Hanke Miroslav ,   University of South Bohemia
Published: January 2025

The seventeenth-century Spanish Dominican Cosme de Lerma authored numerous philosophical works, some ofwhich were posthumously reorganised into a Cursus philosophicus, intended as an arts course for the Dominican studia in Italy. Lerma’s philosophical project consisted in developing the doctrines proposed a century earlier by his fellow Dominican friar Domingo de Soto. Through analysing Lerma’s Compendium and Disputationes based on Soto’s Summulae and Lerma’s Commentaries on Aristotle’s Logic, this paper explores three issues: first, Lerma’s axiomatic theory of inference, including the development of Soto’s project of relevance logic (relating to the analysis of the paradoxes of implication); second, the question whether there are different degrees of validity (answered negatively by Lerma); third, Lerma’s psychology of inference, which offers an interpretation of human inferential behaviour and its limitations in terms of the scholastic theories of causation and natural agency.
Kantian and Thomistic Arguments for the Principle of Causality Compared
Authors: Hannegan William ,   University of South Bohemia
Published: January 2025

Immanuel Kant attempts to derive the principle of causality from our observation of events’ temporal succession. His argument, however, faces difficult objections. These objections show that his argument is unable to draw the strong necessity of causation out of the weaker necessity of temporal succession. Thomists generally offer a different sort of argument from Kant. They seek to derive the principle of causality from the concept of actual contingent being. I compare the Kantian and Thomistic arguments, and I show that the Thomistic argument is successful where the Kantian argument fails. I also defend the Thomistic argument from possible Kantian objections.

Authors: Cahya Ningrat Rizal , Arifandy Mahsun
Published: January 2025

This systematic review aims to: (1) identify and analyze various intervention programs conducted to reduce the passive role of bystanders in bullying cases, (2) evaluate the effectiveness of each intervention program based on its strengths and weaknesses, and (3) examine the characteristics of intervention programs that successfully change the behavior of bystanders into defenders. The review process included planning, sourcing, selection, data extraction, and synthesis of results. Based on 14 articles that met the criteria, several types of interventions involving bystanders were found, such as bystander education programs, bystander social skills training, empathy enhancement, and teacher training. The results show that bystander education and empathy enhancement programs tend to be effective in reducing the passive role of bystanders in bullying cases. The bystander education program aims to build bystander awareness about the importance of defending victims of bullying in a constructive way. Increased empathy in bystanders is shown to motivate bystanders to take action to defend because they are able to understand the feelings of the victim. Meanwhile, bystander social skills training aims to improve bystander interpersonal skills in order to effectively interact with victims and perpetrators of bullying. In general, it can be concluded that interventions involving education, increasing empathy, and providing skills seem to be more effective in reducing the passive role of bystanders in school bullying cases than other interventions.

Authors: Arianto Dangkeng  , Rahim munir
Published: January 2025

Financial technology (fintech) has revolutionized the financial sector by enhancing accessibility, efficiency, and convenience in financial transactions. One of its most significant contributions is its role in promoting financial inclusion, particularly for small entrepreneurs and micro-enterprises that traditionally face barriers to accessing formal banking services. Digital payment systems, including mobile wallets, peer-to-peer (P2P) lending, and crowdfunding platforms, have enabled small businesses to expand their customer base, improve cash flow management, and participate more actively in the digital economy. This study explores how fintech-driven digital payment systems empower small entrepreneurs by providing financial tools that facilitate transactions, offer alternative credit solutions, and enhance financial literacy. Employing a qualitative research approach, this study examines case studies of small businesses that have integrated fintech solutions into their operations, analyzing the impact on business performance, market reach, and financial sustainability. The findings reveal that digital payment adoption reduces dependency on cash transactions, increases financial transparency, and improves access to microcredit, enabling small entrepreneurs to scale their businesses. Despite these advantages, challenges remain, including digital literacy gaps, cybersecurity risks, and regulatory constraints that hinder broader adoption among small businesses. The study underscores the importance of government policies, financial literacy programs, and fintech-industry collaborations in ensuring the long-term sustainability of fintech adoption for small entrepreneurs. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on financial inclusion and digital transformation, offering policy recommendations to enhance accessibility, security, and innovation in fintech-driven financial services.

The Impact of Dual-Experience Flexible Work Arrangements on Employee Performance: The Moderating Role of E-Work Self-Efficacy
Authors: Adi Luthfi Bagus , Drahen Soeling Pantius , Wijaya Chandra
Published: January 2025

The impact of flexible work arrangements (FWA) on employee performance remains inconclusive due to the tendency of prior research to analyze the phenomenon from a single perspective, either that of the employee or the organization. This study aims to address this gap by examining the influence of two forms of FWA—flexibility as a contribution and flexibility as an inducement—on employee performance, while also investigating the moderating role of e-work self-efficacy. Guided by social exchange theory and the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, an online survey was conducted using a cross-sectional design, collecting 545 valid responses from employees in the ICT-based industry. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that flexibility as a contribution negatively impacts employee performance, whereas flexibility as an inducement has a positive effect. The moderation analysis further shows that e-work self-efficacy significantly moderates the relationship between flexibility as a contribution and both task and contextual performance but not adaptive performance. Similarly, e-work self-efficacy significantly moderates the relationship between flexibility as an inducement and task performance but not contextual or adaptive performance. This study concludes that the effects of FWA on employee performance are nuanced and depend on the form of flexibility offered and the level of employees’ e-work self-efficacy. These findings provide actionable insights for organizations to optimize FWA policies to enhance employee performance.

Published: January 2025

Cyberwarfare has become one of the most prominent aspects of global geopolitical competition, introducing a new dimension of conflict involving states and non-state actors. Although research on the role of states in cyber warfare has been amplacious, research on the role of non-state actors is still limited. This study aims to analyze the role and impact of non-state actors in global cyber warfare. In cyber warfare, non-state actors can exploit the vulnerabilities of security systems to achieve their political or ideological goals, changing geopolitical dynamics in unexpected ways. Case studies raised in this study include cyber attacks by Anonymous groups against governments and companies, cyber acts of terrorism by ISIS, manipulation of information by extremist groups to achieve their political goals, and the use of digital propaganda in regional conflicts. By paying attention to the concept of force and security in the perspective of realism, this research is expected to provide a better understanding of how non-state actors influence global geopolitical dynamics through cyber warfare. The implication of this research is the importance of strengthening national cyber defense and international cooperation in the face of threats presented by non-state actors in the cyber domain.

Authors: Hafizah Tulaini
Published: January 2025

Abstract, The criminalization of early childhood in the family environment has become a worrying issue in the modern era. This phenomenon occurs when young children experience negative treatment or stigma which can lead to labeling or exclusion in the home environment, whether consciously or not. Various actions that are considered "deviant" by parents or family, such as behavior that is considered naughty or disobedient, are often treated harshly or even accompanied by threats of excessive punishment that should not be applied at that age. This behavior can trigger long-term effects on children's psychological and emotional development and has the potential to influence the formation of their identity and behavior in the future. This article will discuss the dangers of criminalization in early childhood, the factors that cause it and efforts to prevent it.

Alternative teaching strategies and activities for non-science enthusiast learners in higher education
Authors: Pacadaljen Lanie
Published: January 2025

Developing student interest in non-major science courses in higher education can be extremely difficult, particularly for students who do not identify as science majors. This study explores the challenges faced by non-science enthusiast learners in engaging with science courses, focusing on their perceptions and learning behaviors. Many students view science as difficult and disconnected from their daily lives, leading to decreased motivation and participation. The study aimed to identify the learning behaviors of these students and to determine effective teaching strategies to enhance their engagement. Qualitative data were collected through one-on-one interviews with 20 educators using purposive sampling, allowing for in-depth insights into their experiences with non-enthusiast learners. The findings revealed that students often displayed disengaged behaviors, such as distractibility and passive participation, which hinder their academic success. Effective teaching strategies identified included making science relatable to students’ everyday experiences, creating inclusive and supportive classroom environments, and employing engaging, interactive methods like hands-on activities and collaborative projects. Additionally, fostering emotional connections between educators and students was found to be crucial in enhancing interest and participation in science. Furthermore, future research should investigate the long-term impacts of these strategies to develop effective educational frameworks.

Mura'ah an-Nadzir is a concept in badi' science which refers to the technique of combining harmonious and appropriate meanings in one expression without containing conflict. This technique plays an important role in creating rhetorical beauty and strengthening the delivery of the message. Through examples from the Qur'an, such as the combination of Allah's attributes in the sentence " وَهوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ", it is explained how harmony between meanings can add depth and meaning to the message conveyed. Mura'ah an-Nadzir also has an aesthetic function, facilitating understanding, and emphasizing meaning in an educational context. In addition, this technique strengthens the moral message and evokes emotional interaction in the reader, making it an effective tool in spiritual communication. Thus, Mura'ah an-Nadzir not only functions as a linguistic technique, but also as a bridge to understanding and appreciating the beauty and depth of the Al-Qur'an as a holy book.
