This study was conducted to discuss and identify the potential of discarded recycled materials from the daily use of society in Malaysia and turn them to produce creative artworks. The study was conducted based on the observations of the artworks exhibited during the SI+SA Exhibition at the Shah Alam Gallery, Selangor. This research focuses on the creation process, form and value of the creative artworks originating from recycled materials. The art study approach, where the foundations are derived from a qualitative approach that emphasises descriptive and holistic explanatory systems, has been used and linked through a conceptual framework developed by the relevant concepts as the frame of its analysis. Data was collected through primary methods such as interviews and observations and secondary sources such as books, journals, newspaper clippings and magazines. The results show that the works from the SI+SA Exhibition attempted to convey a message to address humanitarian problems such as responsibility, behaviour, awareness and sacrifice. The structure of the message conveys content that represents the meaning of the values of health, hygiene and creativity that ultimately encourages the community to play their respective roles in addressing the issue of waste management and recycling on a global scale. It is hoped that this research can show that using recycled materials as an alternative to producing creative artwork is a practical approach. Indirectly, raising awareness about recycling is no longer an option but rather an obligation to all levels of society to be cultured in daily life to ensure the environment's future is secure.

COLOMBIA: ASSESSING THE ROLES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND PEACEBUILDING
Authors:   College of Political Science, University of Baghdad, JABBA Furqan Adil , KHALAF Hussein Mezher ,   College of Political Science, University of Baghdad
Published: August 2024

Colombia’s internal armed conflict, dating back to the 1960s, has garnered interna tional attention and become a priority for many donor countries. The resurgence of violence in the 1990s, combined with the influx of drug trafficking funds and the emergence of new illegal actors, resulted in fresh humanitarian crises and human rights violations. Concurrently, the internationalization of the armed conflict, spearheaded by the government of Andrés Pastrana (1998-2002) through the policy of diplomacy for peace, brought the shared responsibility approach to drug control onto the global stage. The European Union has played a significant role in Colombia, particularly in conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and supporting the country’s development process. In contrast to US cooperation, European engagement has been characterized by a less militaristic approach to addressing the ongoing armed conflict in Colombia. This approach is evident in intervention strategies more directly linked to civil society. These strategies encompass cooperation in peacebuilding and the promotion of human rights. This research aims to elucidate and analyze the strategies employed by the European Union in resolving the conflict and fostering peace in Colombia, while also as sessing their effectiveness. Keywords: European Union, Colombia, strategies, peacebuilding, conflict resolution.

The paper examined multiagency strategies for conflict management in Laikipia County, Kenya. It provided a solid foundation for understanding the context of the effect of multiagency approaches on conflict management. A descriptive survey research design was used incorporating both quantitative and qualitative primary data from a questionnaire, FGDs, and Key Informants interviews. The area of study was Laikipia County, Kenya with a focus on Laikipia West Sub County. Stratified random sampling was used to select respondents while the purposive sampling technique was used to select informants with in-depth knowledge and experience relevant to the research objectives. Qualitative data was coded, thematically categorized, and synthesized. Statistical modeling and trend analysis for quantitative data were performed with the aid of SPSS V.29. The result was presented using graphs, and charts while prioritizing validity and reliability through rigorous document selection and analysis methods. The research addressed the effectiveness of past strategies, emphasizing the importance of nuanced assessments that considered scope, context, implementation, outcomes, and dissemination. The findings emphasized the need for a nuanced and comprehensive assessment approach, covering scope and context, implementation and outcomes, challenges, and opportunities. The paper advocated for participatory approaches, long-term impact assessment, flexible frameworks, formal dialogue platforms, capacity building, strong leadership, resource mobilization, and continuous learning and adaptation to ensure effective conflict management. It concluded that while multiagency approaches can effectively manage conflicts, successful implementation requires meticulous planning and execution, tailored to the specific dynamics of the conflict landscape. The paper recommended a continued focus on participatory approaches, establishing formal dialogue platforms, and prioritizing strong leadership and inclusivity, benefiting policymakers, multiagency leaders, practitioners, and stakeholders involved in conflict management in Laikipia County. Keywords: Multiagency actions, participatory approach, multiagency strategies, conflict management.
NIGERIA: SECURITY CONCERNS OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS LIVING IN NON-CAMP SETTINGS IN KWARA STATE

Published: August 2024

Internally displaced persons (IDPs) seek refuge in territories that are considered safer, including outside officially designated camps. This development raises security concerns for host communications, thus increasing the likelihood of conflict. This paper set out to unveil the presence of IDPs in non-camp settings (NCS) in Kwara State, examine the security implications associated with their covert existence within host communities, and evaluate the strategies put in place by the State Government to address them. The study adopted a mixed method approach, in which 200 copies of a questionnaire were distributed to local participants in selected towns, out of which 188 copies were retrieved. A snowball technique was used to identify unregistered IDPs while a purposive sampling technique was useful in the selection of key informants for interviews. The study found that the security implications of hosting IDPs were numerous: feelings of insecu rity, a threat to physical and mental health, a threat to life, vulnerability to harassment; increas ing demographic imbalance, and condescending attitude of the host population among others. The study concluded that a high level of impoverishment in NCS threatens human security for both the host population and the IDPs. The study recommended that the Kwara State Government should synergize with relevant stakeholders and the local communities, to identify and profile all victims of internal displacement for an effective response to security challenges. Keywords: Security, Internal Displacement, non-camp setting, host community, Kwara.
Anonymity, Peace and Speculative Presence in Isabelle Stengers’ Cosmopolitical Thinking
Authors:   Lisbon NOVA University, Bordeleau Erik
Published: August 2024

How does speculative pragmatism induce new ways to think, feel, imagine and act? Take Isabelle Stengers’ cosmopolitical proposal. It involves two different concepts of peace: first, the “diplomats’ peace”, which is the always precarious, creative and technical result of contingent negotiations — a compositionist approach that relates to the political realm of representation proper. Second, the “speculative possibility of peace”, which constitutes an indispensable requisite for the cosmopolitical proposal, and which stands beyond its limits, at speculative and erotic distance, as pure process attractor. In the passage from politics to cosmopolitics, what is at stake is the very possibility of a peaceful coexistence between heterogeneous worlds, a peace whose mode of existence is nothing but propositional or virtual, a pure possibility that could as such effectively make a difference. But how can the most abstract, imperceptible and tenuous mode of existence possibly induce transformations of a political kind? How can it arouse our faculty of imagination and operate as a ‘lure for feeling’? How can it get a hold over (faire prise) and actually “infect” somebody else’s dreams? Here lies perhaps the paradox of the fundamentally anonymous experience of thought and lived abstraction that Stengers calls speculative presence, and which expresses a soulful and pragmatist understanding of (cosmo)politics.
Introduction
Authors:   Babes-Bolyai University, Țăranu Ana , Farmatu Teona ,   Babeș-Bolyai University
Published: August 2024

This introduction aims to frame the texts it predates, to highlight their common theoretical and thematic concerns, and to set them against what we envision as a relevant common backdrop for the issues they raise. To this end, we begin from how insufficient acknowledgement of the current genocidal violence carried out against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank by Western feminism is symptomatic of its enmeshment with colonial rationales and imperialist violence. We question the extent of its liberating and emancipatory politics, reading them against the semiperipheral iterations of what Adam Tooze describes as the “polycrisis.” Focused on the gendered aspects of democratic backsliding - broadly understood as a weakening of faith in liberal democracy and the electoral invigoration of the far-right -, the articles included here trace cultural negotiations of gender justice, as it wanes or strengthens across the region. Variously located within broader networks of transnational transfers and global concerns, the articles included here complement relevant work conducted outside the bounds of academic writing. We gesture towards such feminist, anticolonial and antiracist movements which have emerged in Romania, specifically in the literary field, and to their contestation of the patriarchal and deeply unequal national cultural system.
Analysing Femicide and Antinationalism in The Nirbhaya Case: A Feminist Revisionist Mythmaking Reading of Clea Chakraverty's La Voix de Sita
Authors:   Banaras Hindu University, Singh Gitanjali
Published: August 2024

Violence against women often stems from gender inequality, societal structures such as patriarchy, impunity, and institutional violence. Despite the remarkable progress it has made in establishing the representation of women in all fields, India still finds itself an unsafe country for women, with multiple cases of femicide reported every year. The present paper proposes a close look at violence against women in India through a multidisciplinary reading of Clea Chakravarty’s novel La Voix de Sita [Sita’s Voice] which is a retelling of the 2012 Delhi gang rape. Commonly known as the Nirbhaya Case, it ushered a lot of debates around women’s modesty and morality, alongside controversial anti-feminist remarks by the dominant misinformed strata of society on women being responsible for crimes done against them and the branding of feminism as anti-national. By approaching the revisionist mythmaking of Indian epics in the novel through a feminist lens, the paper also traces the root cause of violence against women in India by analysing media reports, interviews, and anecdotes focused on the case.
Charting Gender Difference in Contemporary Romanian Feminist Poetry
Authors:   Babes-Bolyai University, Tite Alisa
Published: August 2024

The aim of this paper is to investigate the assertion of gender difference and gender identity in contemporary Romanian feminist poetry, taking the works of Medeea Iancu, Iuliana Lungu, Mădălina Oprea, and Nóra Ugron as its starting point. This study will underline recurring thematic patterns, highlighting the priority awarded, within these poetry collections, to matters pertaining to textuality, as well as to the peripheral position of women writers within the literary field. As a result of the uneven development of Eastern Europe’s women’s movement(s) during the post-communist transition, Romanian feminism can be described as a synthesis between Second- and Third Wave feminist themes (Miroiu), namely as having haphazardly imported both issues pertaining to “difference-” and to intersectional feminism. The emphasis local feminist poets place on positing difference, as well as on embracing a fluid identity, has motivated the usage of a theoretical framework based on the concepts of “sexual/gender difference”, and justified the attempt of linking these literary projects to the tradition of so-called “French post-structuralist feminism”. Lastly, this study proposes an overview of the possible political relevance that “neomaterialist” (Braidotti) strands of feminism may hold today, as well as an outline of some of the limitations that they pose.
On the factors of students' cybersecurity behavior
Authors:   University of Pécs, Rosta Gabriella , Bottyán László ,   University of Pécs
Published: August 2024

The article is an exploratory research on the security awareness of university students in the light of various sociodemographic factors. Information technology, and information security in particular, plays a critical role in this context. Awareness is a fundamental component of security preparedness because it empowers individuals to recognize and respond to security threats and fosters a security culture. By educating students and teachers about the importance of security and best practices, educational organizations can significantly enhance their overall security posture. The article points out that raising awareness of information security is not a simple task and requires a systematic approach. In this respect, education has both the potential and the responsibility to develop an information security mindset. The results of the article show that although the average response value of 3.735 suggests a security-aware attitude, the significant difference between the minimum and maximum values indicates a high variability. Looking in more detail at information security factors, the article reveals that law students are more cautious about protecting personal data, while IT and engineering students are more open to online banking and shopping.
Un courant d’Est venu à l’Ouest via l’adaptateur scénique Virgil Tănase
Authors:   Institut d’Etudes Théâtrales, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris, France. Email: ondine96@yahoo.fr., Plesanu Ondine
Published: August 2024

The article An Eastern current coming to the West, through Virgil Tănase’s stage adaptations addresses the influences of two literary and theatrical cultures from the East (Romania and Russia) on the work of Virgil Tănase as a stage adapter in France. By scrutinizing the way in which the great Russian authors from the 19th century to the present day through the Soviet era establish themselves as a frame of reference for Tănase’s work as a stage adapter and by addressing the way in which this comes to fruition, within the stage adaptations created in France by the Franco-Romanian writer (often performed abroad too), a dreamlike aesthetic born in Romania in the 1960s, the study will show that Virgil Tănase, also known as a translator, managed to create a scenic poetics in which the words are at the service of the melody just as the scenography is at the service of the theatrical metaphor. By highlighting the ontological scope of the character and especially the actor, the stage adaptations developed by Tănase from canonical works of Eastern and Western literature finally converge towards a common goal, representative of his writer’s gesture: all aim to awaken in spectators their freedom to think and create, to revive each person’s faith in the fulfilment of their vocation, like the Proustian narrator of the novel In Search of Lost Time.
Keywords: adaptation for stage, theatrical metaphor, aesthetic onirism, Eastern Block, translation, Virgil Tănase, Dostoïevski, Proust.
The Beginnings of Stage Directing in the Romanian Theatre. A Historical View
Authors:   Center of Excellence in the Study of Image, Faculty of Letters, University of Bucharest, Romania. Email: alina-gabriela.mihalache@litere.unibuc.ro., Mihalache Alina Gabriela
Published: August 2024

Lacking a consolidated tradition in the art of stage acting and directing, the Romanian national theatres, which had only existed for a few decades, faced a series of legislative, administrative and aesthetic reforms at the beginning of the 20th century. These reforms aimed to acclimatize the most important novelties of modern performance, just emerging on Western stages. Such changes strongly impacted the conservative world of declamation and rhetoric, still indebted to the Romanticist school of theatrical interpretation. This paper aims to provide a cultural-historical perspective on the generational and artistic conflict that led to the modernization of the Romanian mise-en-scène and to the consolidation of the director’s status, in the “century of directing”, focusing on Alexandru Davila’s contribution to the process.
Keywords: Romanian theatre, directing, scenography, performing, realism, modernism.

Miradas musicales, escuchas cinematográficas
Authors: Weik Christian Alberto
Published: August 2024

El presente trabajo busca trazar paralelismos entre el cine y la música, desde una perspectiva fronteriza y decolonial. Para ello, se eligieron y analizaron algunas películas, con sus bandas sonoras, así como canciones que resuenan con los temas abordados. Construyendo una mirada transversal del cine a través de la música, se buscó cuestionar o desmantelar categorías cruciales para el cine Occidente-centrado, que aún reflejan una nostalgia colonial y persisten en divisiones ideológicas, como entre el «cine-arte» o cine «moderno» y el «resto». Así, el texto se divide en tres secciones centrales y dos conclusivas: Cine visto por la música inserta epistemológicamente el tema, analizando rizomáticamente las fuerzas horizontales y verticales del cine y de la música; Cine-música modal aborda algunas películas-músicas desde una perspectiva transcultural de la música modal, centrándose en sus ciclos de repetición, transformación, así como de muerte y renacimiento simbólicos; Modal, tonal, atonal aborda los cambios que la música y el cine han enfrentado y engendrado, desde las transformaciones de la música modal en tonal y «atonal»; Pequeña coda resume brevemente el camino trazado a lo largo de la obra y Da capo al fine lo concluye. Se espera que el artículo, de carácter ensayístico, pueda contribuir a enriquecer las reflexiones cinematográficas y de otras artes, sobre todo porque parte de una mirada-escucha no especializada, construida a partir de un arte distinto, la música, lo que considero una poderosa y fecunda forma de encuentro, precisamente porque permite el tránsito transcultural y rizomático entre diferentes artes y saberes.

Why does music move us? What harmonic resources manage to cause a greater pleasant experience in listeners? The aestheticity of music lies in the repetition of forms, in the recognition of patterns. Composers take advantage of that predictability to play with listeners' expectations. Mastering the technique to cause sweating and piloerection in response to a musical stimulus is of great interest to creatives. Based on the publications of the musical theorist Frank Lehman, specialized in the harmony of the soundtracks of epic millennial cinema, this article analyzes some harmonic cadences present in different audiovisual formats to agree that it is in the violation of expectations through chromatisms and after their subsequent diatonic realignment where the astonishment of the spectators occurs. This research connects classical aesthetics with the psychology of music.

Sinar UV merupakan salah satu gelombang elektromagnetik yang dipancarkan oleh matahari. Paparan sinar ultraviolet berlebih dapat menyebabkan dampak buruk bagi kulit, terlebih UV A dan UV B yang memiliki kecenderungan lebih tinggi untuk menyebabkan kerusakan pada kulit. Kuersetin merupakan salah satu senyawa golongan flavonoid yang dapat mengalami modifikasi pada struktur cincin benzenanya membentuk beberapa senyawa turunan kuersetin. Modifikasi struktur cincin benzena kuersetin memberikan pengaruh pada kemampuan kuersetin dalam menyerap sinar UV. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan permodelan struktur dan spektra UV pada tiga senyawa turunan kuersetin melalui metode semi empiris untuk mengetahui sifat dan efektivitas turunan kuersetin sebagai senyawa pelindung radiasi ultraviolet (UV). Studi komputasi yang dilakukan menggunakan Austin Model 1 (AM1) yang dapat memprediksi absorbtivitas UV pada senyawa. Hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa modifikasi senyawa kuersetin dengan gugus alkil (metil) pada senyawa 1, 2, dan 3 berpengaruh terhadap panjang ikatan, sudut dehedral, dan energi gap HOMO LUMO 3 senyawa turunan kuersetin tersebut. Data spektrum UV yang dihasilkan melalui pemodelan transisi elektron menunjukkan bahwa ketiga senyawa turunan kuersetin memiliki puncak absorpsi yang terletak pada wilayah UV-A. Ketiga senyawa turunan kuersetin tersebut memiliki potensi sebagai pelindung dari sinar UV-A.

Keterampilan berpikir kritis dan pemecahan masalah siswa di Indonesia relatif rendah. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah minimnya pengetahuan guru tentang bagaimana cara efektif melatih dan meningkatkan keterampilan tersebut kepada siswa. Berbagai upaya guru yang berhasil meningkatkan keterampilan siswa dalam berpikir kritis dan pemecahan masalah perlu diketahui oleh guru lainnya agar dapat dicontoh. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi berbagai upaya guru IPA dalam melatih dan meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis dan pemecahan masalah peserta didik di Indonesia, sehingga diketahui cara yang paling efektif. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode literature review, dengan tahapan: (1) pengumpulan data; (2) reduksi data; (3) presentasi data, dan (4) penarikan kesimpulan. Artikel terbitan tahun 2018 sampai dengan 2022 dikumpulkan dari database Google Scholar menggunakan software Publish or Perish 7. Penelitian ini merujuk kepada model Miles dan Huberman. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara kuantitatif dan kualitatif, selanjutnya disajikan dalam bentuk persentase. Untuk memastikan kredibilitas artikel, hanya artikel yang terbit pada jurnal terakreditasi SINTA yang dikumpulkan sebanyak 38 artikel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari 60% guru IPA melatih keterampilan berpikir kritis dan pemecahan masalah peserta didik melalui penerapan model, metode, dan strategi pembelajaran. Penelitian ini mengungkap bahwa peningkatan keterampilan berpikir kritis dan pemecahan masalah peserta didik secara umum diperoleh dari penerapan model dan metode pembelajaran tertentu.

Air tanah merupakan semua air yang menempati rongga-rongga di dalam batuan dalam kondisi jenuh dengan pergerakan yang lambat dan waktu tinggal yang lama sehingga akan lama untuk pulih jika sudah tercemar. Kerentanan intrinsik air tanah terhadap pencemaran sangat berkaitan dengan kondisi fisik batuan, tanah, dan hidrogeologinya yang secara alami dapat menjadi pelindung bagi air tanah terhadap pencemaran. Sebagian besar penduduk di wilayah Kecamatan Ngoro Kabupaten Jombang masih menggunakan air tanah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan domestik. Aktivitas domestik maupun pertanian di wilayah setempat berpotensi mencemari air tanah. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk menilai tingkat kerentanan intrinsik air tanah terhadap pencemaran, untuk selanjutnya dilakukan penyusunan peta zonasinya. Sejumlah 23 contoh sumur gali milik penduduk diamati, diukur, dan dianalisis dengan mempertimbangkan aspek spasial dan temporal selama 5 bulan mulai bulan Juli 2023 hingga bulan November 2023. Penilaian tingkat kerentanan air tanah dilakukan dengan menggunakan Metode SINTACS berdasarkan tujuh parameter yaitu kedalaman muka air tanah (S), infiltrasi (I), zona aerasi (N), tekstur tanah (T), media akuifer (A), konduktivitas batuan (C), dan kemiringan lereng (S). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disusun peta zonasi kerentanan intrinsik air tanah terhadap pencemaran, dimana untuk peta bulan Juli 2023 hingga bulan September 2023 lokasi penelitian terbagi menjadi 4 zona kerentanan (sedang, agak tinggi, tinggi, sangat tinggi), sedangkan untuk bulan Oktober 2023 dan November 2023 terbagi menjadi 3 zona kerentanan (sedang, agak tinggi, dan tinggi). Peta zonasi tingkat kerentanan dapat digunakan oleh pemerintah sebagai acuan dalam pembuatan keputusan terkait kebijakan pengelolaan sumber daya air tanah untuk mencegah pencemaran air tanah.

Industri kendaraan bermotor baik perakitan maupun pembuatan spare part tidak terlepas dari adanya limbah produksi, terutama limbah cair yang harus diolah sebelum dapat dibuang ke lingkungan. Bahan kimia sebagai koagulan seperti Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) dan Aluminium Sulfat (tawas) sudah banyak digunakan pada pengolahan limbah cair terutama untuk mengurangi partikel Total Suspended Solids (TSS) dalam rangka mengurangi kekeruhan air. Selain itu proses koagulan ini juga dapat menurunkan Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) dan Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD).  Studi ini mengkombinasi koagulasi-flokulasi dengan jenis flok yaitu Poly Acrylamide Floculant (PAF), untuk membentuk flok yang mempercepat proses pengendapan semua partikel yang terlarut. Kombinasi ini menjadi kebaruan penelitian ini, karena masih belum banyak dikenal pada proses pengolahan limbah di pabrik sepeda motor, serta menemukan bahan koagulan yang terbaik. Metode pada studi ini yaitu One Group Pretest-Postest, dengan tujuan mengetahui efisiensi PAC dan tawas. Hasil menunjukkan data yang didapat dengan melakukan uji jar test yaitu pada penambahan koagulan, lama pengendapan, serta endapan yang terbentuk. Setelah proses jar test dapat dilihat hasil efisiensi penggunaan bahan-bahan koagulan yang digunakan dapat mempengaruhi limbah cair yang dihasilkan dari pengolahan koagulasi. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah diuji coba koagulan yang paling baik menurunkan kadar COD, BOD, TSS adalah Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) dengan konsentrasi 10% menghasilkan penurunan BOD 94,16% dan COD 94,14% sedangkan penurunan kadar COD dan BOD menggunakan Aluminium Sulfat dengan dosis yang sama, menghasilkan penurunan BOD 83,22% dan COD 81,32%. Selain itu, menggunakan koagulan PAC tidak membuat limbah menjadi keruh dan terbilang aman bagi lingkungan bila pemakaian dosisnya berlebih.

This study aims to analyse the type of code-mixing that occurs by English teachers when teaching English lessons, and find out the reasons for the use of code-mixing. This research uses descriptive qualitative research. The object of this research is one English teacher in Private Vocational School in Bogor. The process of collecting the data, the researcher recorded the teacher's voice audio when teaching in class and also when conducting interviews. The data analysis technique used Muysken's theory. In this study, it was found that there were three types of code mix used by the teacher when teaching, namely the type of insertion, alternation, and lexical congruence. The use of insertion type is about 55%, then alternation 44%, and lexical congruent 1%, from 158 total utterances obtained. The results found in this study are that teachers more often use code-mixing insertion type when teaching English. Then three reasons for the use of code-mixing by the teacher, namely because of the background of a major school, for students' understanding of the material, and the existence of limited student understanding in English.
