Authors: Dewanti Dinda Rachma , Hermanto Hermanto , Azizah Nur
Published: December 2024

This research explores the role of Islamic leadership values in promoting inclusive education within a private junior high school in Yogyakarta, focusing on how these values influence the school's ability to provide a supportive and inclusive environment for students with special needs. The study is motivated by the growing recognition of inclusivity challenges in schools and the potential of Islamic leadership principles to address these challenges effectively. Using a qualitative case study approach, the investigation involved in-depth interviews and observations with key informants, including teachers, a school counselor, and the principal, to capture a multifaceted view of the implementation of tabligh (effective communication) and fathonah (intelligence) in fostering inclusivity.The findings reveal that the principal's application of Islamic leadership values, particularly through regular meetings, the buddy system, and Islamic speech sessions, significantly enhanced the school's inclusivity culture. These initiatives promoted better peer interactions, increased teacher and parental engagement, and offered a supportive network for students with special needs. However, challenges such as inconsistent implementation of inclusivity strategies and inadequate facilities were also identified. In conclusion, the study highlights the effectiveness of Islamic leadership values in enhancing inclusivity in education settings, underscoring the importance of tailored approaches to address the diverse needs of students. It suggests further research into adaptive inclusive practices and the impact of parental involvement, pointing towards a comprehensive approach to integrating cultural and religious values into educational leadership for fostering inclusivity.

Legal Protection for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Receiving Capital Assistance from Venture Capital Companies
Authors: Hardjuno Wiwoho Shri , Budianto Azis
Published: December 2024

The study discusses the responsibilities of venture capital companies in the context of delays in disbursing capital assistance and its impact on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The main focus is on the problem of default that occurs when venture capital companies fail to fulfill their obligations to disburse capital on schedule, resulting in financial losses and obstacles to business development for MSMEs. This study proposes legal reforms to improve regulations and enforcement related to venture capital company responsibilities, including setting disbursement deadlines, MSME protection mechanisms, and increasing accountability. The empirical normative research uses a combined method between legislative, case, and analytical approaches to explore and analyze legal issues comprehensively. The research finds that MSMEs engage in profit-sharing schemes with venture capital firms. In this arrangement, the venture capital company offers funds to a legal entity partner company, and the partner company reimburses the funds with predetermined rewards. These agreements are governed by the contract law provisions of the Civil Code and are updated by the Ministry of Finance Regulation. It emphasizes the significance of venture capital in addressing funding shortages for small businesses. These reforms are expected to reduce the risk of delays, ensure fair compensation for MSMEs, and support more sustainable business growth.

Published: December 2024

Background: Diabetes has far-reaching negative impacts on the biological, physiological and psychosocial health of people living with the disease and their families, placing a heavy burden on health systems worldwide. Self-management education and support have a critical role to play but are insufficiently used. Therefore, there is a need to develop and implement effective support interventions for this population.
Methods: This study protocol comprises the development and feasibility testing phases of a virtual nursing intervention named PIAVIR (Pratique infirmière avancée virtuelle – Virtual advanced nursing practice), using the Medical Research Council framework for developing complex interventions. PIAVIR is based on humanistic-centred theories of education: adult learning theory, experiential learning and transformative learning, as well as the results from focus group interviews with healthcare professionals and people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The feasibility testing will include 60 participants recruited and randomised to either the intervention group with immediate access to the intervention for 6 months or to the waiting-list control group with access to the intervention after a 6-month waiting time. Both groups will be followed-up for another 6 months post-intervention. Outcome measures will be collected at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. Findings will be evaluated against predetermined feasibility criteria and changes in metabolic and psychosocial outcomes.
Results: This paper presents the study protocol and describes and discusses the development and feasibility phases of the PIAVIR virtual intervention. The results of the feasibility study cover primarily: acceptability, feasibility, recruitment and completion of the newly developed intervention, as well as metabolic and psychosocial measures.
Conclusion: This study contributes to the development of effective virtual self-management education and support interventions and informs a larger randomised controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of the intervention in different populations and multiple sites.

Etymology and development of semantics of ‘Angel’ and ‘Demon’ in English, Dutch, and Ukrainian: a comparative study
Authors: Lemish Nataliya , Kaliberda Oksana , Kryzhko Olena , Ovchynnikova Iryna
Published: December 2024

The paper deals with a dichotomy of an angel and a demon as opposed creatures that embody the good and the evil in various cultures. An interdisciplinary overview of angels and demons outlines their roles and significance in philosophy, literature, religion, and arts. Common and particular ways of ‘angel’ and ‘demon’ reflection in English, Dutch, and Ukrainian are identified with three types of linguistic analysis: etymological, componential, and that of dictionary definitions.Thus, the paper gives the results of an etymological analysis for the two key lexemes based on English (‘angel’, ‘demon’), Dutch (‘engel’, ‘demon’), and Ukrainian (‘ангел’, ‘демон’) etymological dictionary entries followed by comparison and contrast and identification of both isomorphic and allomorphic features. It also provides the semantic changes in the meanings of ‘angel’ and ‘demon’ in three languages under study. The dictionary interpretations for the studied lexemes are added to present the ideas/images of angels and demons reflected in the consciousness of the English, Dutch, and Ukrainians. In fact, the obtained data enable readers to witness similarities and differences in perception, conceptualisation and categorisation of the good (embodied by angels) and the evil (embodied by demons) by speakers of different languages. This can both contribute to improved dictionary definitions and facilitate intercultural communication making it more efficient in today’s globalised world.
Lithuanian politicians as the target of negative emotions
Authors: Kirejeva Jelena
Published: December 2024

The present research lies within the realms of cognitive linguistics, cultural linguistics and computer-mediated communication. It focuses on the negative stances adopted by Lithuanian internet users as a response to certain actions undertaken by Lithuanian politicians. The study seeks to establish the correlation between the negative stances conceptualised in online Lithuanian discourse and the negative emotions rendered by them. On the basis of the analysis carried out, the following conclusion can be drawn: negative stances instantiated in the sample communicate the idea of politicians being unnecessary, harmful to the people of Lithuania, devoid of certain human propensities and lacking certain professional characteristics. The emotions of HATE, ANGER, DISGUST and CONTEMPT appear to be congruent and correlate to the negative stances rendered in the sample. They are conceptualised through one conceptual metonymy and a number of conceptual metaphors, such as POLITICIANS ARE ILLNESSES, POLITICIANS ARE CHILDREN, POLITICIANS ARE ANIMALS, POLITICIANS ARE OBJECTS, POLITICIANS ARE FICTITIOUS CHARACTERS,POLITICIANS ARE ARTISTS, etc. Among the source domains drawn upon in the process of metaphorical and metonymical conceptualisations of the negative evaluative judgements are the BODY, THEATRE, MEDICINE, GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY, etc. domains.
Metaphoricity of perception adjectives: a translation perspective
Authors: Valiulienė Edita
Published: December 2024

The paper aims to examine the metaphorical uses of English adjectives denoting perceptual qualities (taste, temperature and touch) and ways of rendering them in Lithuanian. Based on the data of the Parallel Corpus, the types of translation are identified and discussed in relation to cross-linguistic variation as well as other factors affecting translation. The study is carried out in the framework of cognitive approach to metaphor and its translation: individual metaphorical expressions are linked to conceptual metaphors underlying them, with the focus on the source domain exploited in the source and target languages. From this view, metaphorical rendering of English adjectives in Lithuanian falls into two types: the original metaphor is either retained (if the same perceptual quality is expressed, directly or indirectly) or replaced by another metaphor (if a different source domain is introduced, usually a quality perceived through a different sense or some physical sensation). Other types of translation include cases of non-metaphorical rendering: loss of metaphoricity due to paraphrase (literal expression) and omission of the metaphorical meaning.The findings show that the original metaphor is preserved in around 30% of all cases. Other types of translation are mainly determined by two factors: cross-linguistic asymmetry (a different range of the metaphorical meanings of English adjectives and their equivalents in Lithuanian, differences in connotation, specific lexical and syntactic patterns of the target language) and the subjective choice of the translator (individual preference for a certain expression).

Light verb constructions with deverbal nouns BITE and SNACK in native English varieties: a corpus-based study
Authors: Giparaite Judita , Selmistraitis Linas
Published: December 2024

This study investigates light verb constructions (LVCs) involving synonymous deverbal nouns, specifically focusing on the nouns bite and snack in five native varieties of English: American, British, Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand. Previous research on LVCs with synonymous nouns is limited, and their usage across different English varieties has received little attention from linguists. The aim of the research is twofold: (1) to examine the usage of LVCs with bite and snack across the five English varieties, and (2) to identify distinguishing features of these synonymous nouns in LVCs. Data were sourced from the Corpus of Global Web-Based English, and the analysis explores the combinability of bite and snack with various light verbs, as well as the modification patterns associated with each noun. The study compares frequency, types, and semantic classes of modifiers, alongside the variety and frequency of light verbs used with each noun. Both light verbs and modifiers are analysed by their distribution across the five English varieties. The findings reveal significant syntactic and semantic differences between LVCs with bite and snack.  Snack combines with a broader range of light verbs than bite, and modifier patterns show that bite often implies a focus on the duration of eating, whereas snack is associated with meal size or timing. The study also highlights cross-variety differences, including the frequency and modification of LVCs, as well as preferences for light verbs and modifiers across English varieties. These insights contribute to a more nuanced understanding of LVCs and their variation in native English varieties.
Exploring multimodality in historical texts: the value of paratextual features in the making of the Coruña Corpus (CC)
Authors: Esteve-Ramos María José , Moskowich Isabel
Published: December 2024

In this article, we explain how the project of the Coruña Corpus of English Scientific Writing (CC) included non-linguistic elements in the corpus design from the very inception of the project, which allow for the analysis of paratextual devices such as layout, punctuation, decoration, and/or other visual language, this in order to explore how a text interacts with its context and hence how such aspects of a work are also important and meaningful in themselves. These elements are key to an understanding of how texts were perceived by their contemporary audiences, and can only be fully appreciated by considering their meaning to the reader. The considerable time and effort involved in the compilation of these minute details in the CC reflects the belief that paratextual features in the Late Modern English period can be considered vectors of additional meaning, and hence need to be included when designing and studying the linguistic material of the period. Multimodality, a current trend in various forms of linguistic analysis, provides the appropriate and necessary framework for the way we work with historical corpora and has the potential to open up new and enriching avenues of research.

Authors: Barroso Jose
Published: December 2024

The present study aims to evaluate the efficiency of Azadirachta indica essential oil against pests of the corn crop Zea mays. Pest populations were captured using 20 chromatrophic traps and PET bottles with attractants. To obtain the essential oil, 900 g of seeds of the plant material were placed in the oven at a temperature of 45 ± 2° C for 48 hours; then the seeds were crushed, and the solution was dried, formulating concentrations of 500, 700, 900 ppm. Mortality was verified after 1, 3, and 7 days. It was observed that A. indica extracts at concentrations of 500, 700, and 900 ppm reduced the populations of insect pests that affect Zea mays crops by an average of 75, 75, and 90%, respectively, on the 3rd day of exposure. The Psadeletia sequax population was completely eliminated on the 3rd day of exposure at any concentration; Leptoglossus zonatus resisted until the 7th day at the three concentrations tested; Dalbulus maidis resisted until the 7th day at a concentration of 700 ppm; and Diatracea sacharalis, Helicoverpa armigera, and Euchistus heros Fabricius resisted until the 7th day at a concentration of 500 ppm.
Leveraging Self-Sovereign Identity to Introduce ReCert: A Foundational Framework for Decentralized BCTE Solutions
Authors: Rasool Saqib , Hylsberg Jacobsen Rune
Published: December 2024

Blockchain-enabled Transactive Energy (BCTE) heralds a revolutionary departure from traditional paradigms to achieve decentralization and its benefits in the energy sector. Despite the foundational insights provided by the IEEE’s seminal position paper in 2021, the practical realization of BCTE still needs to be achieved, necessitating substantial research and development endeavors toward the real-world realization of BCTE. Our study responds to this imperative by presenting a foundational framework of ReCert that aims to unlock the full potential of BCTE through a prosumer-centric approach and sets a cornerstone to advance toward a fully functional BCTE solution. ReCert1 introduces a Re-Certification mechanism that operates over Self-sovereign Identity (SSI), which also serves as a gluing force between the DLT and blockchain components of the ReCert framework to tackle the challenges of the blockchain trilemma. This study shows the feasibility of the ReCert framework in supporting the BCTE modules of Granular Certificates (GC), Decentralized Identity (DI), and aggregation that operate through the concepts of SSI. The evolutionary framework of ReCert follows the layered approach to establish the groundwork for transforming into a fully decentralized BCTE solution.
Development of an Advanced System for Identifying Low-Altitude Outdoor Mobile Objects Based on Acoustic Signatures
Authors: Luo Yiyang , Soboliak Oleksandr , Lutsenko Vladyslav , Lutsenko Irina , Yehorov Vadym , Yehorov Serhii , Vitalii Trifanov
Published: December 2024

This chapter introduces an acoustic-based detection system for low-altitude moving objects, including unmanned aerial vehicles, helicopters, and ground vehicles. The system analyzes acoustic spectra, revealing discrete harmonics from engine rotations and a continuous spectrum from engine operations, with energy primarily below 2 kHz. Harmonic spacing helps estimate rotor speeds for helicopters, while high engine revolutions per minute enhance the continuous spectrum component. Key challenges addressed include target differentiation, bearing estimation accuracy, environmental noise impact, and the need for meteorological adjustments. Experimental results show that high-pass filters with a 500–700 Hz rejection band improve target detection contrast and reduce noise interference. Future work will focus on advanced noise suppression, meteorological data integration, and multisensor fusion to enhance system performance and scalability.

AGROECOLOGICAL ROLE OF PROTECTIVE PLANTATIONS IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE CENTRAL FOREST-STEPPE OF RUSSIA
Authors: Mihina Viktoriya
Published: December 2024

Protective planting systems play a significant agroecological role. In winter, redistribution of snow cover in landscapes is observed. The most uniform snow distribution occurs among plantings with greater wind permeability in the lower part of the vertical profile. During the vegetation period, plantings at lower temperatures exhibit an insignificant warming effect and in hot dry periods of time, a decrease in the temperature regime of air masses in strip zones with an increase in the humidity of the ground air layer is observed. Changes in the microclimate in the landscape have a positive effect on increasing the bioproductivity of artificial cenoses.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENT OF FOREST EDGE, OPEN AND SEMI-OPEN FOREST SITES ADJACENT TO HIGHWAYS
Authors: Shtepa E.
Published: December 2024

When carrying out landscaping works on highways, one should not ignore areas that pass through forests or areas that are adjacent to forests. After a number of measures, the aesthetic appearance of the forest on the road side becomes better than before. Special attention should be paid to landscape improvement of monotonous and monotonous forest edges, ridges and open areas. Improvement of open and semi-open forest areas can be achieved by additional plantings, whereby in some places additional plantings should be grouped around the existing most valuable trees, as if forming landscape tree and shrub groups. It is best to use fast-growing, light-loving and shade-tolerant species of trees and shrubs capable of creating artistic contrasts. It is preferable to create a more complex, irregular shape of the site, which will create greater scenic beauty, with calm relief. An important component is the herbaceous cover. Recommendations are intended for students in the areas of training 35.03.01, 35.04.01 Forestry and 35.03.10, 35.04.09 Landscape Architecture, as well as for specialists of research institutes and universities interested in the problems of interaction between forests and the environment, ecologists, specialists in the field of forestry and road maintenance departments and others.

The scientific miracle in the Almighty's saying ( and his eyes became white from grief )
Authors: Jaser Zainab nayef
Published: December 2024

This study addressed the relationship between grief and its impact on physical and psychological health, focusing on the Quranic verse from Surat Yusuf: "And he turned away from them and said, "Oh, my grief for Joseph, and his eyes turned white from grief, while he was suppressing [it]" (Yusuf 84), which indicates that severe grief may lead to loss of vision. The opinions of the great interpreters are reviewed in interpreting the verse and analyzing it linguistically. The study also reviews the results of recent scientific research on the impact of severe grief on health, especially its effect on the eye. The results show that severe grief can lead to increased levels of the hormone adrenaline, which in turn leads to increased blood sugar and cataracts. The study discusses the interpretations of Muslim scholars for this phenomenon, and also sheds light on the experience of Dr. Abdul Basit Muhammad Sayyid, who was inspired by the Qur’anic verse to develop a medical drop to treat cataracts.

Indonesia is one of the countries that have contributed to the apparel, leather, and textile industry in the international market. Not only that, but Indonesian MSME handicrafts are also one of the commodities that can increase the country's foreign exchange, one of which is the lantung bark craft from Bengkulu. However, the creative industry is constantly facing competition with the entry of cheap products from China that get easy access with the increasing e-commerce technology. Providing value for the Lantung Bengkulu MSME products to compete locally and globally, one of the steps is to apply the Design Thinking Method and take the distinctive character of the stylized Serawai Tribe Weaving in the exploration process. The results of this study have obtained data that 47 Bengkulu women consumers as much as 89.4% like the results of the re-design and exploration of lantung shoes that have been designed. In determining the selling price of MSME Lantung Bengkulu should also set a price range of Rp. 110.000 to Rp. 500.000 because it corresponds to the purchasing power of female consumers in Bengkulu. The results of this study directly contribute to providing product value to the typical Bengkulu Lantung MSMEs. The Design Thinking method has been successfully increasing the value of the Lantung Bengkulu MSME products, this method can be applied to similar research to develop local MSMEs in Indonesia.
