At the crossroads of civilizations: A comparative analysis of the development of legal thought in ancient China and the West
Authors: Wu Yanlin
Published: January 2025

The relevance of this article is due to the fact that the current scientific literature does not provide a compre- hensive assessment of comparative legal studies of ancient Chinese and Western legal thought, which is important given the polarisation of global politics. The purpose of this review was to comprehensively study and analyse the historical sci- entific literature on this issue. This goal was achieved through a thematic analysis of the accumulated scientific material. The article deals with issues related to the philosophical trends that prevailed in the period of Ancient China, Greece and Rome. The historiographical basis of the work was the works of Chinese and Western researchers in this field. The research resulted in an analysis of theoretical and practical scientific literature on this topic, as well as a critique of the positions of some contemporary authors on the concept of law and legal relations between the people and the state. The main conclusion of this work was that the main differences between Chinese and Western legal doctrines were formed within the complex interplay of the initial conditions of statehood development in East Asia and the Mediterranean. Whereas the problematisation of law in ancient China was based on the understanding of family relations, where the family was headed by the father-ruler, ancient legal thought focused on social contradictions, rights and obligations of different classes. These different problematisations of the law have created the basis for further differences. This study can be used in diplomatic work to improve communication between representatives of different legal doctrines and families in general

The role of motivation in Serbian language teaching: An integrative approach in lower primary school grades
Authors: Stošić-Jović Jelena
Published: January 2025

Student motivation is a critical factor in the educational process, particularly in the teaching of the Serbian language. Effective motivation involves a balanced use of intrinsic (internal) and extrinsic (external) incentives. Students motivated by intrinsic factors, such as curiosity and enthusiasm, exhibit greater independence in their learning. However, they still require support through praise and positive feedback. In contrast, extrinsic incentives, such as verbal encouragement and recognition, are vital for the development of younger students but must be combined with internal motivation to ensure sustained engagement in learning. The teacher's personality plays a central role in the motivational process, as their attitudes, methods, and approaches directly influence the development of students' confidence and autonomy. This paper aims to examine the significance of student motivation in the introductory phase of Serbian language lessons in the lower grades of elementary school, through both theoretical analysis and practical application of motivational principles in the educational process. The research explores the effectiveness of various teaching methods that incorporate motivation in the introductory part of the lesson, adopting an integrative and holistic approach.
Pedagogical approaches that connect music and mathematics
Authors: Rašković Božana , Gajtanović Zorica
Published: January 2025

The starting point of the publication is considering methods of music education that ephasize an early music stimulation and the possibility of their implementation and integration in the formation and development of initial mathematical concepts. Aspiration to connect two seemingly incompatible disciplines, music and mathematic, opens questions whose goal is to find adequate pedagogical approaches that would be in the function of music and mathematics education and achievement, but also the overall development of children. Applying the method of theoretical analysis, a comparison was made among different conceptual approaches, the results of the conducted research and the authors' conclusions. Considering the aforementioned questions, it was concluded that the considered methods emphasize the importance of an early development in the formation of a person and start from the premise that the potential and the environment enable the children to build themselves. Organizing an environment that allows children the freedom by acting through organized and spontaneous activities in kindergarten and school can contribute to children's musical and mathematical development. Connecting musical and mathematical contents with each other, as well as connecting them with everyday activities and setting learning situations in a context that is close and familiar to children, and with the contents of other areas of education and upbringing, provides the basis for successful learning of music and mathematics. Pedagogical implications are contained in aforementioned recommendations for a proper approach to connecting musical and mathematical content and creating a stimulating environment. Future research should be focused on examining and improving the competencies of professionals - teachers and pre-school teachers, which would be in the function of music and mathematics education and achievement, but also the overall development of children.
Speech disorder mediator in interpersonal communication
Authors: Milošević-Dedakin Neda , Janjić Jovana , Milisavljević Jelena
Published: January 2025

Speech disorders refer to disturbances in speech functioning that interfere with verbal communication in any way, regardless of their cause or manifestation. It is generally believed that a speech disorder does not represent a "severe pathology." However, considering that verbal communication is a complex psycho-social phenomenon, such disorders can impact an individual's functioning in the psycho-social realm. Despite this, in psychological and psychiatric literature, the study of speech disorders often receives marginal attention, with interest in the field remaining somewhat superficial. A speech disorder, such as impaired articulation or fluency, alters the clarity of any message conveyed by the speaker, distorting its meaning as it is transmitted to the listener. Speech distortion is a disruptive factor in the communicative process and can be categorized hierarchically, depending on the severity of the disruption in speech production. Advancements in knowledge in this field are essential, particularly in terms of scientific and practical approaches to speech and language disorders. Future research should emphasize the importance of proper diagnostic procedures, which contribute to improving therapeutic methods and preventing communicative disorders.
Better birth outcomes: The investment that saves lives
Authors: Larwin Karen H. , Horne Susan , Budnik Aimee
Published: January 2025

This study utilizes CDC data to analyze birth outcomes for at-risk mothers involved in the Pathways HUB Community Action (PHCA) in Summit County, Ohio. The purpose is to understand the cost savings of providing interventions that will result in positive birth outcomes. The data, compared to the Ohio Public Health Data Warehouse and March of Dimes statistics, shows similar rates of singleton births. The study adjusts for inflation using the Producer Price Index from the St. Louis Federal Reserve. Results indicate that reducing prematurity rates among HUB clients could lead to significant cost savings, totaling approximately $1.2 million between 2017 and 2022, with the greatest cost savings for Black at-risk mothers and infants. This manuscript aims to achieve two objectives: first, to highlight the benefits of addressing health disparities affecting at-risk pregnant women; and second, to demonstrate the methodology for calculating cost savings using available birth outcome data.
Liberal Humanism in The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid
Authors: Hashemıpour Saman
Published: January 2025

The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid sparks a debate on liberal humanism, and its repercussion during post-9/11 throws Neo-Orientalism and Islamic terrorism into question—recounted by Hamid. The novel mirrors all aspects of humanism and liberal intellection as a cultural product of humanism in the West. Hamid’s sensibilities of the fluctuant Western paradigm opposing immigrants, fundamentalism, and terrorism during post-9/11 is depicted from the protagonist’s perspective. The Reluctant Fundamentalist is invigorated in a threshold world of multiple borders—of characters and cultures—by the medium of brace contradictions. The protagonist observes the sufferings of his beloved city/woman and stages his changed position in society while the world of his dreams is crumbled, and he must select between staying in the country of his dreams or returning home country. Accordingly, this study surveys the neoliberal American society in the context of liberal humanism globally after the polarization of Islam/liberalism in the realm of Orientalism discourse due to Mohsin Hamid’s display of the United States.

Minimizing distortion with additive manufacturing parts using Machine Learning
Authors: Yarlagadda Shreya , Broadhurst Emily
Published: January 2025

Additive manufacturing technologies are increasingly being used in both academic and corporate settings as an efficient and precise method of manufacturing. However, the accuracy of affordable 3D printing methods is compromised by distortion of the plastic filament. These inaccurate 3D prints may not be usable; incorrect sizing of specific features, such as holes, can mean the part does not fit in the larger assembly and would need to be discarded. This can contribute to plastic pollution due to mismanagement, compounded by difficult access to the recycling process of the most popular filament, Polylactic Acid (PLA). In this study, we investigated to what extent the distortion introduced in the additive manufacturing process can be predicted and minimized. We hypothesized that predicting the computer-aided design (CAD) dimensions based on historical print misalignments would be effective in minimizing this distortion. We used a histogram-based gradient boosting regressor and trained it on 3D printing data of hole dimensions printed in PLA filament, obtained from Mendeley Data. Our model predicts the CAD geometry that results in the desired final print dimension, accounting for distortion. The model had a root mean squared error of 0.0614 mm, a mean absolute error of 0.0452 mm, and an R2 score of 99.617%. These results can be used to minimize inaccuracies and prevent waste production.

Kūrybos ir kultūros industrijos: filosofiniai, sociologiniai ir komunikaciniai aspektai
Authors: Kačerauskas Tomas
Published: January 2025

Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos kūrybos bei kultūros industrijų idėjos iš filosofinės, sociologinės bei komunikacinės perspektyvos, drauge kritikuojama pastarųjų mokslų orientacija į „grynąjį protą“ nesiremiant socialiniais fenomenais. Nors kūrybos ir kultūros industrijų idėjos gali būti filosofijos, sociologijos ir komunikacijos mokslų sąveikos kanalas, autorius pažymi, kad netgi giminingi kultūros industrijų ir kūrybos industrijų diskursai plėtojami kaip nebendramačiai diskursai. Pasak autoriaus, čia kaltas ne tik teoretikų cechinis uždarumas, bet apskritai komunikacijos fenomenų ignoravimas filosofijoje ir sociologijoje. Straipsnyje pateikiamos kūrybos ekologijos ir kūrybos etikos gairės bei pabrėžiamas egzistencialiosios fenomenologijos indėlis plėtojantis komunikacijos mokslo šakoms, įskaitant kūrybos ir kultūros industrijas.

Negalios sampratos kaita medicininėje sociologijoje
Authors: Viluckienė Jolita
Published: January 2025

Straipsnyje pristatomos negalios tyrimų medicininėje sociologijoje atsiradimo aplinkybės, jų plėtojimo kryptys bei kaitos tendencijos nuo praėjusio šimtmečio iki šių dienų sociologinės minties. Kadangi medicininė sociologija yra bendrosios sociologijos šaka, todėl negalios samprata kito kartu su pastarosios sociologinės minties raida. Jeigu praėjusio amžiaus viduryje vyravo struktūrinio funkcionalizmo paradigma, tai negalia atitinkamai buvo suvokiama iš šios pozityvistinės minties perspektyvos. Vėliau, sustiprėjus interpretacijų įtakai, sociologiniai negalios tyrimai įgavo naują pobūdį. Pagaliau XX a. paskutiniajame dešimtmetyje sociologijoje iškilus tendencijai „atsigręžti“ į kūną, medicininė sociologija įgijo galimybę plėtoti fenomenologinę negalios sampratą, kurioje individo subjektyviai išgyvenamas kūnas tampa dėmesio centru, o pati negalia nagrinėjama ne vien kaip kūno kaip instrumento liga, bet kaip radikalus įsibrovimas į visą įkūnytą asmenį.
Paleoarte y Paisaje: una teoría estética

Published: January 2025

El presente libro titulado “Paleoarte y Paisaje: una teoría estética” intenta, a lo sumo, una suerte de compromiso de investigación de pensamiento. Nos hemos sentado a pensar el Paleoarte, abordándolo desde su insólita perspectiva de reconstrucción de nudo paisaje, y no lo hemos hecho precisamente sin ayuda, pues nos hemos atribuido la prerrogativa de acercarnos desde algunos postulados de teoría estética a grandes pensadores, humanistas, filósofos, escritores y científicos de diversas ramas que, sin duda, han expuesto sus ideas mientras nosotros les planteábamos la existencia de algo que quizá la mayoría no haya conocido, o muchos no lo hayan identificado tampoco con el término de Paleoarte. Algunos de ellos ni siquiera supieron de la existencia de un período de tiempo remoto al que llamamos Prehistoria.
Study on the implementation of the Internet of Things in the sustainable agricultural revolution from upstream to downstream
Authors: Widharma I Gede Suputra , Sumadi Ketut , Anggreni Anak Agung Made Dewi
Published: January 2025

This study employs a review-based methodology to explore the utilization of Internet of Things (IoT) technology within the agricultural industrial revolution, encompassing processes from upstream to downstream. IoT technology plays a pivotal role in accelerating the adoption of regenerative agriculture principles by enabling the integration of sensors, communication devices, and digital platforms into a unified system. This system facilitates the monitoring and optimization of sustainable agricultural practices, covering stages from planting to the distribution of agricultural products. The bidirectional digital communication established between human-to-system and system-to-human interactions ensures seamless information exchange. The research introduces a conceptual framework for smart regenerative agriculture, comprising smart farming (upstream), smart harvesting and packing, and smart marketing (downstream). By leveraging IoT technology, this framework aims to create an agricultural system that is not only more efficient and environmentally sustainable but also capable of addressing the challenges of national food security. Furthermore, the study examines various case studies of IoT implementation in other countries, providing valuable insights and benchmarks for its potential application in Indonesia.
Artificial intelligence and decoloniality: Insurgent arrangements and the question concerning cosmotechnics
Authors: Aguiar Carlos Eduardo Souza , Da Silva Dayana Karla Melo
Published: January 2025

This article examines the intersections between technology and coloniality, with a particular focus on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in perpetuating colonial power structures and reinforcing exclusions. The study examines the ways in which historically marginalized groups—including Black people, the poor, women, Indigenous peoples, queer individuals, and those from peripheral areas—are reinterpreting AI, transforming it into a tool of resistance against the oppressive logics of Eurocentric modernity. The methodology is based on a qualitative approach, comprising interviews, an analysis of audiovisual materials, digital platforms, and social media. The research identified initiatives that propose technological alternatives based on diverse epistemological and ontological frameworks, thereby challenging the dominance of modern/colonial technological paradigms. The analysis of the data revealed that these groups adopt collaborative methodologies, with a particular focus on the inclusion of marginalized populations and the creation of new technological epistemologies. The findings demonstrate that these communities are developing technological arrangements based on non-Western cosmologies, thereby challenging Western dominance in technology. These practices not only adapt existing technologies but also create new forms of technological interaction that reflect their specific realities and contexts. The study concludes that the decolonization of technology is both possible and necessary, with the adoption of cosmotechnics that respect cultural and epistemological diversity, paving the way for fairer, plural, and inclusive technological futures.

The majority of economists agree with the fact that trade freedom and economic development are strongly and favourably correlated. The goal of trade freedom is to help economies reach their macroeconomic objectives, particularly strong economic growth. Many nations now understand how crucial it is to draw in foreign direct investment (FDI) in order to boost economic growth and revitalisation. This has provided signals to many countries to work on developing favourable conditions to promote FDI, and identifying the key determinants of FDI becomes a very crucial task for the policymakers. Moreover, the role of governance has gained more attention nowadays, and many investors around the world are now looking for a better and safer business environment for their investments. The paper explores an important topic by examining the mediation effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) through trade liberalization on economic growth in Asian countries. Using an extensive dataset spanning 22 years across 48 nations and employing advanced econometric methods, such as fixed-effects regression and Sobel Z-value tests, the study provides valuable insights with strong policy relevance. The result indicates an indirect effect. lnTLlnFDI demonstrates a positive and significant relationship between trade liberalisation and foreign direct investment (FDI) in their combined effect on economic output (lnGDP). The study contributes significantly to understanding the interplay between trade liberalization, FDI, and economic growth and this paper has strong potential to impact both academic research and policymakers in designing and implementing effective trade and investment policies for sustained and inclusive economic development across the region.
Impact of Student Outcomes on EFL Teacher Emotions and their Strategies to Cope with Emotional Responses
Authors: Trang Nguyen Duc Phuong , Tran Ngoc Tien
Published: January 2025

Teachers’ emotions are believed to have a strong impact on teachers’ teaching quality. Teachers who are satisfied with their jobs are more engaged in their professions. However, the teaching is not always joyful. Some teachers may see teaching as a source of happiness, but for others, it is a misery. This study aims to explore the impact of students’ factors namely emotions, beliefs, motivation, discipline, and performance on EFL teachers’ emotions. The study also investigates the strategies EFL teachers employ to cope with their emotional responses. A qualitative approach was employed with in-depth interviews, group discussions, and classroom observations on 12 instructors at two universities in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The findings bring to the fore a complex tapestry of emotions experienced by EFL teachers in response to the varying trajectories of student outcomes such as accomplishment, fulfillment, and pride that emerged as prevailing emotions when students excelled in their learning journey. Conversely, moments of frustration, disappointment, and self-doubt surfaced when student progress fell short of expectations. A couple of strategies found in the study that teachers often employed to deal with emotional response encompass reviewing and enhancing instructional methods, maintaining their motivation and enthusiasm, strengthening the subject knowledge, creating a supportive and autonomous learning environment, getting closer to students emotionally, adopting self-regulation and upholding a calm demeanor. The study can make some practical contributions by highlighting that teacher emotions are not just reactions to student outcomes but are worth concern in the teaching process.

Published: January 2025

La complejidad del ecosistema publicitario digital y su influencia en las subjetividades juveniles exige replantear los marcos de alfabetización mediática. Este estudio propone abordar esta problemática reconociendo a los menores como codiseñadores activos. A través de un análisis de literatura y la deconstrucción crítica de discursos dominantes, se desarrolló un marco ontológico que comprende cuatro dimensiones: (1) principios ontológicos que reconceptualizan la agencia juvenil, (2) estrategias pedagógicas basadas en prácticas de diseño ontológico, (3) indicadores de pensamiento crítico y creatividad, y (4) implicaciones ético-sociales del empoderamiento juvenil. Este marco establece las bases para una alfabetización publicitaria que trasciende la dicotomía protección-empoderamiento, facilitando la participación activa de los menores en la construcción de ecosistemas publicitarios más éticos y equitativos.

Las personas están comprometidas con las cuestiones medioambientales, un aspecto que obliga a las organizaciones a dirigirse a la sociedad de forma más honesta. En este contexto, el storydoing se presenta como un modelo de comunicación que cuestiona aquellas estrategias basadas en las lovebrands y que responde a las demandas de una sociedad sensibilizada con las injusticias sociales. Este trabajo tiene como fin medir el índice de engagement e intención de consumo que generan las creatividades storydoing frente a las storytelling y contribuir a establecer una teoría en torno a la publicidadbasada en patrones narrativos. Para ello, se ha aplicado una metodología de carácter experimental para determinar cuál de las dos genera más engagement e intención de consumo en usuarios de Instagram. Los resultados muestran que el valor con el que estos perciben la pieza storydoing genera altos índices de compromiso con el servicio publicitado.

Published: January 2025

Este artículo examina la cobertura del cambio climático en medios españoles, tomando como caso de estudio las últimas tres cumbres del clima (2021-2023). A partir de una metodología propia de análisis de contenido, se revisan tres elementos clave —temas, actores y espacios informativos— sobre una muestra de piezas informativas (n=671) segmentada en seis medios y tres modelos profesionales. Los resultados muestran una agenda diversificada con un predominio de contenidos políticos, seguido por una atención creciente a la transición ecológica y las acciones ciudadanas. Actores institucionales dominan la discusión, mientras que activistas y científicos también obtienen una presencia notable. La cobertura se aborda, principalmente, desde una dimensión global y se concentra en la sección de Medio Ambiente. En resumen, se detecta una reorientación de la agenda climática en el contexto pospandémico donde se abren paso nuevas prioridades temáticas y un mayor protagonismo de la movilización social, las soluciones sostenibles y la economía verde.

X/Twitter es una de las herramientas fundamentales en la estrategia comunicativa de los actores políticos en la actualidad debido a las posibilidades que permite para la generación de un diálogo bidireccional entre actores sociales. El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer cómo se producen este tipo de interacciones en esta plataforma digital por parte las mujeres políticas iberoamericanas «del cambio», así como evaluar las menciones por atribuciones de responsabilidad política realizadas. Estas actoras emergen del activismo y acceden a la política institucional como portavoces de la transformación social. La metodología se basa en la aplicación de la técnica del análisis de contenido que combina una dimensión cuantitativa junto a otra de naturaleza cualitativa, focalizada en el análisis crítico del discurso. Los resultados demuestran el predominio de dos usos en las estrategias comunicativas de las mujeres política estudiadas en relación con la interactividad dialógica. Por un lado, el uso de menciones se orienta hacia la crítica al adversario mientras que, por otro, se focaliza hacia la monitorización y fiscalización del poder político.
Swipe or Subscribe: Do Young People Really Prefer an Ad-free Instagram?

In 2023, European Instagram users faced a choice: subscribe to avoid advertisements or allow their data to be used for targeted advertising. This study examines how Generation Z engages with personalised advertising and their privacy concerns, focusing on Instagram's new subscription model. An online survey of 479 young people aged 14 to 24 revealed that only 12.5% would be willing to pay for a subscription. Despite many find advertising overwhelming and distracting and perceiving a considerable risk to data protection in social media use, neither advertising saturation nor privacy concerns appear to influence their willingness to subscribe. These findings reinforce the theory of the privacy paradox and underscore the need for new approaches to address data privacy concerns among younger users.
Publicidad y menores: qué piensan las madres
Authors: Donstrup Mayte , García-Estévez Noelia
Published: January 2025

Este artículo explora el papel de las madres en la alfabetización mediática publicitaria, enfocándose en su percepción de la publicidad dirigida a niños en edad preescolar en España. Se analiza cómo evalúan el discurso publicitario, especialmente el branded content, y qué elementos consideran importantes en los anuncios para sus hijos. La investigación se basa en grupos de discusión con madres, revelando que estas realizan una lectura crítica de los mensajes publicitarios y ejercen un rol de "gatekeeper", comentando y explicando los anuncios a sus hijos. Los resultados indican una percepción negativa de la publicidad, especialmente cuando es considerada invasiva. Las madres abogan por una regulación más estricta, especialmente en la industria alimentaria. Aunque reconocen el branded content, inicialmente no lo asocian con la publicidad debido a su formato lúdico y narrativo. Sin embargo, concluyen que este tipo de contenido puede ser efectivo si se etiqueta claramente como publicidad y si promueve valores educativos y estilos de vida saludables.
Stages and Steps for Implementing Mixed Method Research (MMR) in Educational Research

Many academics believe that using questionnaires and interviews simultaneously, or combining statistical analysis and narrative interpretation, can be categorized as mixed method research (MMR). This view is not entirely correct, but it is not entirely wrong either. MMR involves integrating quantitative and qualitative methods in a study, including all related components. However, not all simultaneous uses of quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis techniques can be considered MMR, as several key factors, such as timing, weighting, and research objectives, must be taken into account. This article aims to elaborate on various MMR models and their implementation steps, using a literature review method. The study identifies six MMR models: Sequential Explanatory, Sequential Exploratory, Concurrent Triangulation, Concurrent Embedded, Sequential Transformative, and Concurrent Transformative. However, the last two models are not discussed in detail due to their lower popularity. The Sequential Explanatory model integrates quantitative and qualitative methods sequentially, with greater emphasis on quantitative methods to provide additional information. Similarly, the Sequential Exploratory model is conducted sequentially but places more weight on qualitative data to connect findings. The Concurrent Triangulation model integrates both methods simultaneously, with equal weighting to compare data, while the Concurrent Embedded model combines the methods simultaneously but prioritizes one as the primary method and the other as the secondary method, aiming to compare data. Our findings provide practical guidelines for researchers in implementing each MMR model, particularly by highlighting aspects that are often overlooked in previous literature. These guidelines are expected to help researchers select and apply models that align with their research needs.

Published: January 2025

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines remove material from a blank or workpiece
using digital controls to produce custom-designed parts. Maintaining their accuracy and
precision under challenging conditions after long-term usage is crucial. This study aims to
evaluate CNC product quality using Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and enhance
long-term performance through data-driven approaches. The method of this study focuses
on analyzing scrap rate data, employing a u-chart to monitor stability, and applying
machine learning regression models—K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) and Random Forest
(RF)—to forecast scrap rates. These forecasts help identify when preventive maintenance is
necessary, preserving machine precision over time. This study also applied visualization of
results with Microsoft Power BI to enhance data interpretation, aiding quick responses to
potential problems. Results indicate that RF outperforms KNN in predicting scrap rates.
Stacking these models further improves accuracy, offering a more reliable decision-making
tool for anticipating quality issues. By detecting anomalies early, manufacturers can
implement timely maintenance, minimizing downtime and prolonging CNC machine
lifespan. In conclusion, integrating scrap rate analysis, statistical process control, and
advanced machine learning techniques can maintain product quality and reduce
inaccuracies. Companies should include more proactive maintenance planning by
employing better forecasting.
