Authors: Aditya Kumar Pandey  , Bhupendra Kumar Tripathi  , Vivek Kumar
Published: December 2024

This comprehensive study investigates the impact of physical and chemical mutagenesis on lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) to enhance genetic variability and identify mutants with improved agronomic traits. Gamma radiation and ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) were used as mutagens. The experimental design, treatment doses, and observed morphological, physiological, and biochemical responses of lentil genotypes are presented. The results demonstrate significant variability in traits such as plant height, seed yield, chlorophyll content, biological yield, harvest index, and 1000-seed weight, with notable differences between control and treated groups. The findings highlight the potential of mutagenesis for crop improvement and genetic diversity enhancement in lentil breeding programs. Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations among key traits, and path coefficient analysis was used to identify traits with the most direct impact on seed yield.

Published: December 2024

Background: The application of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) has expanded rapidly in recent decades. Although multiple authors have reported LLR shows improved safety and efficacy in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) compared with open liver resection (OLR), laparoscopic and open major liver resections for HCC treatment remain inadequately evaluated.
Objective: To determine minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery versus open surgery for HCC
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Fatima Memorial Hospital Lahore, Pakistan, which was performed between August 2022 to February 2024, The total number of patients in our study were 100. The number of female patients in our study were 29 and males were 71. For all patients, we did diagnostic tests before surgery blood test, Ultrasound and biopsy. Our main focus was on open surgery versus minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We excluded pregnant women in our study. Data was tabulated and analyzed by SPSS version 27.
Result: In a current study total 100 patients were enrolled. The minimum age of patients were 52 years and the maximum age of the patients were 92 years. The mean age were 65.95±8.428 years. The minimum BMI of patients were 21 kg/m2 and the maximum BMI of the patients were 39 kg/m2. The frequency of mass size on ultrasound 2 cm patients were 39, The frequency of mass size on ultrasound 3 cm patients were 39, The frequency of mass size on ultrasound 4 cm patients were 3, The frequency of mass size on ultrasound 5 cm patients were 19. The frequency of open HCC surgery who have large scar, more bleeding and more pain were 50 patients and the frequency of minimally invasive HCC surgery who have less scar, less bleeding and less pain were in 50 patients. The frequency of early detection of HCC on CT scan were in 20 patients and on ultrasound were in 80 patients. Complications of HCC, Ascites were 8%, Blood loss were 11 %, Pleural effusion were 8% and no complications in 73 % of patients. In our study P-Value were less than (< 0.05).
Conclusion: We concluded in our study that minimally invasive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surgery patients recover faster as compare to open surgery. Minimally invasive procedures patients stay less in hospital as compared to open surgery. HCC is common in the right lobe of the liver as compared to the left lobe of the liver. Comparing minimally invasive surgery to open surgery for patients undergoing liver resection, the patient has a lower incidence of surgical wound and organ infections after the procedure. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was mostly diagnosed in old age people. Male patients were more in our study as compared to females.

Published: January 2025

DNA vaccines represent a cutting-edge approach to immunization by utilizing genetic material to induce an immune response. Unlike traditional vaccines that use weakened or in activated pathogens, DNA vaccines deliver a plasmid containing genes encoding specific antigens into the host cells. These cells then produce the antigens, stimulating a protective immune response. This method offers several advantages, including rapid development, ease of production, and the ability to target a wide range of diseases. DNA vaccines have shown promise in preclinical and clinical trials for various infectious diseases, cancer, and genetic disorders. Ongoing research focuses on optimizing delivery systems, improving efficacy, and ensuring safety to enhance their potential as a transformative tool in modern medicine.

Published: January 2025

Food loss, especially in perishable items like fruits, is a critical global issue. This study introduces “ECOLA,” an innovative edible coating made from taro stem starch (Colocasia esculenta L.) and natural glycerol derived from spent cooking oil. The research aimed to evaluate ECOLA’s chemical properties (solubility and water vapor transmission rate), physical properties (density and tensile strength), and organoleptic characteristics. The coating was applied to extend the shelf life of fruits such as tomatoes, avocados, and mangoes. The optimal formulation, consisting of taro stem starch (2.5 g), CMC (2.5 g), glycerol (2.5 g), and water (175 g), demonstrated remarkable properties, including high tensile strength (47.834 MPa), balanced density (1.190 g/cm³), and strong consumer approval. The coating significantly reduced water vapor transmission and extended fruit freshness by up to 14 days compared to untreated samples. ECOLA showcases tremendous potential for reducing food loss while promoting sustainability through the utilization of organic waste, such as spent cooking oil. By enhancing food preservation in an eco-friendly manner, ECOLA addresses critical challenges in food security and waste management. This study highlights ECOLA as a viable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly solution for the agricultural sector to mitigate food loss and achieve food security targets.

Published: January 2025

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, governments asked citizens to stay at home. Unlike coercive measures such as lockdowns, in the case of non-coercive measures, the effectiveness of such requests depends on the extent to which citizens accept the measures. This study examines what factors influence the procedural fairness associated with the measures and how such procedural fairness improved or deteriorated citizens’ acceptance of measures. Japan, which relied mostly on non-coercive measures, offers a good case to test this question. We carried out a survey in Japan during March 2021 and conducted a vignette experiment within the survey. The vignette experiment led us to the following conclusion: First, citizens’ perception of fairness regarding the decision-making process was negatively affected by the prime minister’s opinion, which did not necessarily coincide with recommendations of epidemiological experts in our scenario. Still, the prime minister’s opinion did not show a significant effect on the eventual acceptance of measures. Second, the non-transparent decision-making process in the government decreased the perception of fairness and acceptance of measures. Third, the elements of opinion and transparency influenced policy acceptance through the mediation of fairness perception. Fourth, higher trust in epidemiological experts mitigated the negative effect of procedural unfairness.
Do Public Housing Agencies Discriminate Against Latinos?
Authors: Landgrave Michelangelo , Weller Nicholas , Authement Jacob
Published: January 2025

Discrimination by political elites has been identified in a variety of earlier studies. However, research about discrimination by street-level bureaucrats has more mixed findings. To contribute to our knowledge about bureaucratic discrimination we conducted a study that followed up on a prior audit of public housing agencies by Einstein and Glick (2017) by making two significant improvements: we pre-test the names used to ensure that they primarily manipulate perceptions of ethnicity, and we include approximately three times more public housing agencies. Our larger sample size produces more precise estimates and allows us to explore potential moderation. We fail to find statistically significant differences in how white and Hispanic aliases are treated across three measures. We also tested for moderation by state-level racial resentment and public housing agency professionalization, but we do not find any meaningful variation across these characteristics.
Evaluating Excuses: How the Public Judges Noncompliance
Authors: Driscoll Amanda , Krehbiel Jay , Nelson Michael , Samarth Taran
Published: January 2025

The political actors who make policy often delegate their implementation to others. Yet for a variety of reasons, ranging from intransigence to incompetence, political agents tasked with implementation may not faithfully implement policies. If those charged with implementation can frame their noncompliance in a way that engenders sympathy, implementors may be able to disrupt the policymaking process with limited public backlash. We examine if the public's willingness to excuse noncompliance varies with the implementing actor's rationale for its failing to carry out the policy. Drawing on a survey experiment fielded in Germany, we find that the public is more sympathetic to resource-based, rather than principled, justifications for noncompliance, though the size of the effect is small. Further, contrary to fears that the pandemic would decay democratic functioning by leading citizens to be more forgiving of emergency-based inaction, we find no evidence that the public is more accepting of noncompliance justified on the base of the pandemic.
Apakah Janji Langit Baru dan Bumi Baru sudah Ditepati? Analisis Historis Yesaya 65:17-25
Authors: Sihotang Henriko
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The theologians’ views (especially those who come from the patristic view) regarding the concept of the New Heaven and New Earth (Isa. 65:17-25), come to the conclusion that the fulfillment of the promise is with the coming of a new heaven and a new earth that will replace the recent heaven and earth. Through the historical interpretation of the text, I try to show the historical meaning and purpose of the concept. I focus this research on the history of the text by considering the context of the people as recipients of the core message of the book of Isaiah and its subsequent influence. The context of the recipients or initial readers of the text is the basis for the analysis in this study. I argue that the prioritization of the reconstruction of the Temple after the Babylonian exile as a focal point as well as a sign of God's presence blessing and fulfilling His promises by realizing the vision of the promised New Heaven and New Earth. Which means that the promise of the New Heaven and New Earth has been fulfilled.Abstrak. Pandangan para teolog (terutama yang berangkat dari pandangan kaum patristik) terkait konsep Langit Baru dan Bumi Baru (Yes. 65:17-25), sampai pada kesimpulan penantian penggenapan janji tersebut dengan hadirnya langit baru dan bumi baru kelak yang menggantikan langit dan bumi yang lama. Melalui tafsir historis teks, saya berupaya memperlihatkan makna dan tujuan awal konsep tersebut. Saya memfokuskan penelitian ini atas sejarah teks dengan melihat konteks dari sudut keberadaan umat selaku penerima pesan inti kitab Yesaya tersebut dan pengaruh setelahnya. Konteks penerima atau pembaca awal teks tersebut menjadi dasar analisis pada kajian ini. Saya berargumen bahwa pengutamaan pembangunan kembali Bait Suci pascapembuangan Babel sebagai titik fokus sekaligus tanda kehadiran Tuhan memberkati dan memenuhi janji-janji-Nya dengan mewujudkan visi Langit Baru dan Bumi Baru yang dijanjikan itu. Yang artinya, bahwa janji Langit Baru dan Bumi Baru telah digenapi.
Kejahatan dan Kejatuhan Manusia Menurut John Calvin: Sebuah Tanggapan Terhadap Ajaran Dualisme Manichaean
Authors: Setiawan Yohanes
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The concept of evil and the fall of man remains a fascinating topic as it illustrates moral complexity, freedom of choice, and its impact on civilization and man's relationship with transcendent values. This article aims to analysis the concept of Manichaean dualism and measure it against the concept of the fall of man, according to John Calvin. This research uses a literature study method. The analysis results show that Manichaean dualism is eclectic and syncretic in different contexts by combining elements from various religious traditions. In contrast, Calvin's thought is very focused on reinterpreting the Christian tradition and emphasizing the authority of the Bible. For Calvin, the concept of dualism is very erroneous and unbiblical; the fall of man and evil should be understood through the doctrine of Adam and Eve's original sin, which resulted in the fall of man into sin because of their disobedience to God.Abstrak. Konsep kejahatan dan kejatuhan manusia tetap menjadi topik yang menarik karena menggambarkan kompleksitas moral, kebebasan pilihan, dan dampaknya terhadap peradaban serta hubungan manusia dengan nilai-nilai transenden. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konsep dualisme Manichaean dan mengukurnya dengan konsep kejatuhan manusia menurut John Calvin. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi literatur. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa dualisme Manichaean bersifat eklektik dan sinkretik dalam konteks yang berbeda dengan menggabungkan elemen-elemen dari berbagai tradisi agama. Sebaliknya, pemikiran Calvin sangat fokus pada penafsiran atas tradisi Kristen dan menekankan otoritas Alkitab. Bagi Calvin, konsep dualisme sangat keliru dan tidak alkitabiah. Kejatuhan manusia dan kejahatan harus dipahami melalui doktrin dosa asal Adam dan Hawa, yang mengakibatkan kejatuhan manusia ke dalam dosa karena ketidaktaatan mereka kepada Tuhan.
Agama Dan Etika Politik: Peran Gereja dalam Diskursus Etika Politik Era Reformasi
Authors: Malino Yan , Supratikno Agus , Ludji Irene
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The argument of this research is that the church has a moral and ethical responsibility to conduct political education through discourse on political ethics in public spaces. This is based on historical facts that the Cristianity since the independence movement until now has had potential power and significant influence in politics in Indonesia. This research used the hermeneutic phenomenology method in the context of socio-political history. The result of the research showed that the church is quite proactive in responding to national and state issues in the Reformation Era, but it is still not optimal to conduct discourse on political ethics in public spaces. The political role of the church in general is still limited to carrying out liturgical ritual activities, praying together, and issuing formal shepherding calls at every election event.Abstrak. Argumentasi penelitian ini adalah gereja memiliki tanggung jawab moral dan etis melakukan pendidikan politik melalui diskursus etika politik di ruang-ruang publik. Hal ini didasarkan atas fakta sejarah bahwa agama sejak masa pergerakan perjuangan kemerdekaan sampai dengan masa kini memiliki kekuatan potensial dan pengaruh signifikan dalam perpolitikan di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode fenomenologi hermeneutik dalam konteks sejarah sosio-politik. Hasil peneliteian menunjukkan bahwa gereja cukup pro aktif menyikapi persoalan bangsa dan negara di Era Reformasi, namun masih kurang maksimal memanfaatkan ruang publik untuk melakukan diskursus etika politik. Peran politik gereja secara umum masih sebatas melakukan kegiatan ritual liturgis, doa bersama, dan mengeluarkan seruan formal penggembalaan pada setiap perhelatan pemilu.

Обещание жениться как часть национального лингвокультурного пространства (на примере русскоязычного и испаноязычного юридического, медийного, литературного дискурсов)
Authors: Ларионова Марина Владимировна , Фокина Александра Дмитриевна
Published: December 2024

Цель статьи заключается в проведении, впервые в испанистике, сквозь призму дискурсивного контекста (юридического, медийного и литературного) контрастивного анализа вербализации обряда помолвки и последствий её расторжения в русской, испанской и некоторых латиноамериканских культурах. Изучение взаимных соответствий и отличий ритуала обручения как социально ориентированной модели поведения, вербально зафиксированной в правовых документах, литературных произведениях и медийных текстах, раскрывает универсальность и одновременно национальную специфичность традиций народов разных стран, проявляющуюся в дискурсе как интегративной области знания.Обещание жениться как сообщение об обязательстве заключить брак и обещание как перформативный речевой акт обладают лингвокультурной спецификой, которая детерминируется, среди прочих, коммуникативными, фактуально-событийными, юридическими и ценностными доминантами, отражающими национально-языковую картину мира и когнитивные представления народа. Исследование ключевых характеристик ритуала помолвки, вербализированного в различных типах дискурса, и коммуникативного акта обещания жениться проводится в русле дискурсивной герменевтики – перспективного направления современной дискурсологии, учитывающего культурно-исторические, социальные, философские, ментальные и языковые характеристики при интерпретации коммуникативных единиц, репрезентирующих концепты и феномены культуры.Авторами установлены словарные значения и особенности использования лексем, связанных с помолвкой, их сходства и отличия в русскоязычной и испаноязычной культурно-языковой и дискурсивной среде. Осуществлён обзор нормативно-правового регулирования помолвки в римском праве, в праве России, Испании, ряда стран Латинской Америки с целью выявления национально-культурного своеобразия этого ритуала, вербализирующегося в речевом акте обещания, и установления последствий его неисполнения. Обещание жениться в юридическом дискурсе проанализировано с позиции теории речевых актов, и подтверждена гипотеза о том, что речевые акты, совершаемые в ходе помолвки, обладают свойствами перформативности в тех странах, где помолвка сохраняет правовые последствия. Также проиллюстрирован морально-нравственный смысл обещания жениться и его неисполнения на примере литературных произведений.
Глагол «Дышать» в современном русском языке: некоторые замечания
Authors: Томьер-Шаховская Ирина
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена глаголу дышать в современном русском языке. Целью автора является описание сочетаемостных возможностей данной лексемы. Так, дышать может иметь один или два аргумента, а также употребляться с различного вида наречиями. В работе доказывается, что при наличии лишь одного аргумента – подлежащего, речь идëт о самом процессе дыхания. Что же касается использования наречий, они позволяют говорящему оценивать дыхание по отношению к некоей норме (тяжело, неровно). Если же присутствуют два аргумента, второй аргумент часто обозначает некую часть тела (например, грудь, рот и так далее) и употребляется с предлогом. В каждом приведëнном примере детально анализируется семантическая природа как аргументов, так и наречий. Наконец, рассматриваются устойчивые выражения (дышать полной грудью), а также метафорические употребления глагола дышать (здесь всë дышит покоем). Работа является частью исследования, осуществляемого в Лингвистическом Центре Сорбонны CeLiSo UR7332. Указанный проект направлен на исчерпывающее описание лексики различных языков в свете теории Зеллига Хэрриса (1976). Исследование основано на корпусных данных, и www.ruscorpora.ru, в частности доказательств определëнных тезизов приводятся статистические данные, что и определает его новизну.
Russian Preposition Grammar: on the Variability of Position in the Syntaxeme
Authors: Gainutdinova Aida F. , Troshkina Tatyana P. , Gabdreeva Natalia V.
Published: December 2024

The aim of this study is to investigate positional patterns of the preposition in the syntaxeme with “paired” pronouns, in particular, to consider possibilities and reasons for pattern usage of Russian prepositions with the pronoun друг друга. The study is based on extensive factual material obtained by continuous sampling from the Russian National Corpus. The frequency of antepositional, interpositional, and postpositional patterns of prepositions in syntaxemes at different time periods has been estimated.Along with the expected interpositional usage of non-derivative prepositions, instances of their antepositional usage and the reasons for their usage have been defined. An increase in such usage has been seen for the past 20 years.It has been found that the functioning of derived prepositions with the pronoun друг друга is determined, first of all, by the degree of their “assimilation” in the language. The interposition of derivative prepositions is similar to non-derivative ones and shows the weakening of bonds with the notional derivative word. The pronoun друг друга, as well as the forms of third-person personal pronouns, serve as a kind of marker while adapting new forms of prepositions in the language. Multi-component prepositions have the ability to be used interpositionally, but this is rarely the case.
Переинтерпретация имени числительного как части речи в аспекте теории переходности В. В. Бабайцевой
Authors: Сюй Инь
Published: December 2024

В статье предлагается вариант интерпретации имени числительного как части речи, в частности, актуальный для практики преподавания РКИ. В исследовании используется шкала переходности, разработанная В. В. Бабайцевой в результате наблюдения над переходными явлениями в современном русском языке. Числительные рассматриваются в статье, с одной стороны, с точки зрения различных лингвистических учений, что даёт уникальную возможность проследить эволюцию понятия «числительное» в истории русского языкознания, с другой стороны, через призму ядерно-периферийной структуры, что позволяет чётко увидеть их семантическую общность и грамматическую неоднородность. Анализ показал, что образование числительных как самостоятельной части речи отличается от других явлений исторического перехода с точки зрения теории переходности тем, что слова разных частей речи не переходят непосредственно в существующую в системе категорию, которая задаёт модель для преобразования, а сначала формируют своего рода ядро с общим грамматическим критерием, объединяющее в дальнейшем развитии новые члены и оказывающее на них сильное влияние. Вместе с тем данный процесс сопровождается колебаниями в принципах частеречной классификации, что обусловливает изменения в составе числительных. Особое внимание обращается на конкретные переходные явления в рамках разряда определённо-количественных числительных: объединение простых счётных слов и последующее формирование ядра данной части речи; лексикализация составных счётных слов и утрата ими категории числа; закрепление меньшего количества падежных форм в парадигме; преобразование синтаксической связи с существительными.

30 Años de Filología Eslava en la Universidad de Granada: Contribucíon del Grupo de Investigación "Eslavística, Caucasología y Tipología Lingüística" (HUM: 827) a su Desarrollo
Authors: Guzmán Tirado Rafael
Published: December 2024

La evolución de la enseñanza y difusión de las lenguas eslavas, en general, y de la lengua rusa, en particular, en España es un largo y complejo proceso histórico, moldeado y modulado por factores geográficos, históricos y políticos. A diferencia de lo que ocurrió en países vecinos como Alemania, Francia, Inglaterra o Italia, que cuentan desde hace siglos con una larga tradición de vínculos culturales con Rusia y con el resto de países eslavos, así como de enseñanza y aprendizaje de las lenguas eslavas, los contactos culturales y de todo tipo entre España y estos países comenzaron a desarrollarse tan solo en los años 50-60 del s. XX, lo que también influyó, como veremos en el presente artículo, en el interés por el estudio de las lenguas eslavas. En este año, 2024, se cumplen 30 años de la implantación de la titulación de Filología Eslava en la Universidad de Granada y 20 de la creación de la revista especializada Cuadernos de Rusística Española.En el presente trabajo se recogen algunos de los primeros pasos de la eslavística en la Universidad de Granada y parte de la contribución del Grupo de Investigación “Eslavística, Caucasología y Tipología Lingüística” (HUM-827) y de sus miembros a su desarrollo a lo largo de estos 30 años, como uno de sus principales impulsores.

Authors: Görgülü Deniz , Törün Eda
Published: January 2025

The research was conducted to explore the perceptions of gifted students towards artificial intelligence (AI) using a qualitative research method and a case study design. The study group comprised 25 students from the Selçuklu Science and Art Center during the 2023-2024 academic year, selected through affinity sampling method. Data was gathered through metaphoric forms and semi-structured interviews, and content analysis was employed for data analysis. The findings indicated that students primarily used the human metaphor when discussing AI. Themes derived from the metaphors included human similarity, potential threats of AI, and belief in the benefits of AI. Gifted students expressed concern about the potential risks of AI, while also highlighting its advantages in education. Additionally, the majority of students believed that schools would continue to operate within an AI-supported education system, although some students expressed the view that AI could make schools obsolete. According to the findings, gifted students have expressed a perception of AI as being advantageous as well as having potential risks. Consequently, the research suggests that it would be beneficial to offer specialized training to gifted students on the responsible utilization of AI within the realm of education.

PIλDµ Controllers for Suppression of Limit Cycle in a Plant with Time Delay and Backlash Nonlinearity
Authors: Dakua Biresh Kumar , Pati Bibhuti Bhusan
Published: December 2024

This paper evaluates the existence of a periodic limit cycle oscillation in a system with backlash nonlinearity in the presence of time delay. An armature voltage-controlled DC motor system is studied in this regard whose output signifies accuracy in position control. An analytical solution for the limit cycle based on the Describing Function (DF) method is obtained whose authenticity is verified with the Nyquist contour-based graphical method and the digital simulations. The effect of parametric changes on the magnitude and frequency of the limit cycle is examined in this article. Integer and non-integer order proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers are designed to eliminate these undesirable periodic oscillations present in the system. Multiple optimization techniques considering error-based, time domain specification-based objective functions are scrutinized through statistical tests towards the parameter estimation of the applied controllers. Observations reveal that while the Moth flame optimizer (MFO) with Integral time absolute error (ITAE) produces superior results for the PID controller, the MFO with the Integral time square error (ITSE) provides better results for the FOPID controller. Further, the gain and phase margin-based loop shaping method is also used for an analytical calculation of the controller parameters. Out of the five loop shaping constraints, superior results are obtained by considering robustness towards gain variation constraint as an objective function, and the rest as nonlinear constraints. Simulation studies suggest the efficiency of the utilized controllers in quenching the periodic limit cycle oscillations. The superiority of the FOPID controller over the PID controller is validated by considering suitable performance-based comparisons. The effectiveness of the designed controllers is also tested against the variations in system parameters. Further, the physical realizations of the integer and fractional order PID controllers are performed through Oustaloup recursive filter approximation.
Technological and Innovative Structure and Capabilities of Türkiye’s Automotive Industrial Sector: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Pala Üzeyir , Salahuddin Taseer
Published: December 2024

The automotive sector ranks as the 4th largest contributor to the global economy, accounting for approximately 5% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Additionally, employment in the automotive industry generates a fivefold multiplier effect on job creation in other sectors. This study focuses on the sustainable science, technology, and innovation indicators relevant to Türkiye’s automotive industry, which holds the 7th position in terms of its contribution to the country’s GDP. Drawing on previous research and 33 years of data that reflect the state of Türkiye's automotive sector, as well as its science and technology landscape, this research identifies 10 key indicators that influence the sector’s technological development and innovation capacity. To analyze the similarities and differences among these indicators, a hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) method was initially employed. Subsequently, a non-hierarchical cluster analysis (NHCA) was conducted to validate the HCA findings. Additionally, multidimensional scaling (MDS) was utilized to assess the similarities and distances among the economic, science, and technology indicators. The formation of 2 clusters was later verified through correlation analysis and factor analysis. The research findings indicate that the R&D and science-related parameters in Türkiye operate in a cohesive manner as anticipated. The percentage changes in the production of automobiles, commercial vehicles, and total domestic output show similar trends, forming a distinct group. In contrast, the indicators for high-technology exports and automotive exports are influenced by different dynamics, displaying separate and unique patterns. Based on these results, the study concludes with recommendations for sector-specific improvement initiatives.
War Propaganda and Correspondents: Updating UN Covenant and Media Ethics Principles
Authors: Eribo Festus
Published: December 2024

This study is an examination of war propaganda and correspondents in concomitance with the 1948 Resolution 217A of the UN Covenant prohibiting war propaganda under the rubric of media ethics and the applicable principles and guidelines. The thematic internal contradictions of war propaganda and the intentional or unintentional disregard for ethical news analysis, coverage, reportage, and objectivity are examined. The United Nations’ International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights prohibits war propaganda. This qualitative study calls for the continuation of compelling scholarship to advance human rights to live in peace and constructive social change through serious ethical application and consideration in the coverage and reportage of war. Four of the objectives of this study are to (i) promote an update of the 1948 Resolution 217A of the UN Covenant prohibiting war propaganda; (ii) re-emphasize the necessity for media ethics in belligerent and non-aggressive theaters; (iii) address some of the internal conflicts in media ethics’ principles of universality; and (iv) contribute to the literature on war propaganda, human rights to live in peace, and media ethics. The study is significant because there is the need for a dispassionate, objective and scholarly examination of the phenomenon at a time of crises across the globe.

Embodied Critical Learning through Performance Teaching
Authors: Melin Margareta
Published: December 2024

A critical mode of being is not only written into the Swedish law of university education as a learning outcome for all students, but also vital for Media and Communication students approach to their studies and their future lives as media producers. Taking on this challenge, I created an experiment 15 years ago, which I term performance teaching. It was a way to force students out of their uncritical absorption of course-content only focusing on exams, into a critical mode of thinking and doing. At first this performance teaching entailed lecturing in totally different lifestyle outfits every day, with the aid of colleagues and the city theatre. The following 13 years, however, only the first day of term was used for the performance and the experiment turned into a permanent teaching method, tied in with theories of critique of sources and media critique. This is the case that will theoretically discuss in this article. I will argue for didactically designing learning processes that tackles the issues embodied critical thinking and doing. My main argument is that by acknowledging that we, as lecturers and students, are physical beings and that learning should take place through one’s entire body, learning processes can be didactically designed to better learning processes. The aim of the article is showing how performance teaching can create a positive base for critical learning, thinking, and doing media, and theoretically analysing and discussing this. Theoretically, the concepts I use are mainly based on bell hooks’ works on feminist critical pedagogy. I also lean on Bourdieu’s (2001) concept hexis and habitus, and Larsson and Fagrell’s (2010) The Conception of Performed Body. I’m furthermore inspired by Selander and Kress’ (2010) book on didactic design and Toke Gissel’s (2016) work on Media Didactics, which ties my research to my subject Media and Communication studies. Methodologically the case study is based on student questionnaires and interviews. The result shows that students yearn the familiar, they want what they believe a university education and a “proper university lecturer” should be. When taken out of their pre-understandings of this and when the course didactics are consciously designed to foster criticality, they start to think and do critically. The performance lecture is but a small starting point in achieving this, but its effects seem to last students’ entire bachelor program (and possibly beyond). The article does not argue for a performance lecture as such, as it could be a hard act hard to follow, but that university lectures should aim for what bell hooks terms practical wisdom. Furthermore, we need to bring embodied learning into the classroom, and we must acknowledge that fostering critical thinking and critical doing is key to any university education.
Podcasts in Bulgaria: An Alternative, Parallel or Flexible Approach to Changing the Media Ecosystem
Authors: Mavrodieva Ivanka
Published: December 2024

Podcasts in Bulgaria have flourished and solidified their presence in the second and third decades of the 21st century across various dimensions. Firstly, they serve as alternative sources of expert information. Secondly, they offer a parallel platform for disseminating information alongside traditional media genres and formats. Thirdly, they contribute to the development of a flexible media market, accommodating both public and private media entities, as well as individual, corporate, institutional, or organizational channels. This analysis focuses on podcasts in Bulgaria spanning from 2021 to 2023, produced and distributed by diverse media outlets, individuals, and organizations. The hypothesis posits that podcasts function as both media and businesses, serving as communication channels and a model that blends information dissemination with shared experiences. They represent a product resulting from media, digital, and communicative literacy. The methodology employed adopts an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing media, genre, and discourse analysis. The conclusions drawn are based on a comprehensive study, although not claiming to be exhaustive. It is assumed that podcasts in Bulgaria offer a versatile means of positioning themselves alongside traditional media, thereby contributing to the creative industry and the media market simultaneously.

Conflict of Interests Regarding Peer Review: Bias in Manuscript Rejection
Authors: Pujazon Patron Ernesto Carlos , Domingo Elias Arcelles Jose
Published: December 2024

The majority of submitted manuscripts, across all article-journal types, may be rejected for one or more reasons... While the reasons for rejection vary between desk, post-peer-review, and post-editorial-review rejections, many of the issues raised could be easily avoided by devoting enough time to planning and conceptualizing the work under consideration. Indeed, Aristotle (384–322 BC) in the Rhetoric (the art of persuasion), which was a theory of - civic discourse - stated: “The mistake lies in the beginning; as the proverb says, ‘Well begun is half done;’ so an error at the beginning, though quite small, bears the same ratio to the errors in the other parts.” This quote seems especially appropriate in this case. This paper examines the various reasons for which an article may not be accepted or considered for publication and then the paper moves into providing an explanation of the different reasons by which an article may not be considered for publication based on the reviewer’s belief, faith, professional discrepancies or methodological outcomes. Well organised and sufficient preparation is the key to success. The authors hope that people across academia and other professional experts can use this discussion when leading training-building research workshops to create awareness and assist researchers in planning and writing research papers that have better probabilities of acceptance, yet are easy to assimilate for the average reader and truly advance knowledge.
