Authors: Dhamo Eris , Canaj Jonela
Published: July 2024

Studies have shown that civil society associations play an essential role in preserving, documenting and promoting the cultural heritage of a country. They can engage in policy-making, lobbying, creating public awareness and practical projects to preserve and present cultural heritage. Civil society also plays a crucial role in shaping national identity and a sense of a country's past and cultural heritage. Through their activities, associations can help disseminate knowledge, raise awareness, and shape national identity. They impact the country's development through their participation in decision-making processes and the development of various projects for the development of cultural heritage. They can promote cultural tourism, create employment opportunities in the cultural sector and contribute to the country's economic growth. Cooperation between civil society associations and public institutions is essential to realize the common objectives of preserving the cultural heritage and developing the country. Experience shows that when there is good organizational and institutional cooperation, the results are more successful and sustainable, but this has yet to cause much interest in the scientific community. This article will focus on describing the role played by civil society in Albania in this process and highlighting some specific features of its participation. The goals and objectives of this study are to (1) describe civil society engaged in the heritage and the interaction between them; (2) describe how the role of civil societies is changing amid ongoing changes; (3) identify trends in the development of cooperation between national institutions of civil society.

The Forbidden Literature During the Soviet Union and Communist Albania, its Ethical Role, and Innovative Features: A Comparison of M. Bulgakov and K. Trebeshina
Authors: Zifla Qose Belfjore , Mullahi Anila , Hoshafi Monika
Published: July 2024

Literature is a vital tool for preserving moral stability, bringing attention to the human crisis, and reminding humanity about the risks that arise for the society and the individual when human rights and values are violated during turbulent political and moral times. These subjects are prevalent in the dissident literature of the 20th century, which emerged from the former communist countries. These works represent an effort for the "humane" to survive during periods of moral crises, political repression, and societal hypocrisy. This paper focuses in the comparison of two writers, the Russian M. Bulgakov and the Albanian K. Trebeshina, to exemplify the crucial role of literature in such times. Due to the political and cultural background, there are numerous well-known similarities between Albanian Socialist Realism and Soviet Socialist Realism; yet, there is little research about the similarities between the forbidden literatures. This paper analyses the similarities concerning the crucial topics of dissident literature, while drawing parallels regarding their modern and postmodern literary features. Combining the inductive and deductive methodologies , the emphasis is on comparative literary techniques, textual analysis and interpretation. This comparison contributes to our better understanding and evaluation of the past while also providing a more focused perspective on our future as it is portrayed  in literature.

Mathematical Expectation: Conceptual Difficulties Among Students
Authors: El Maroufi Abdelouahed , Moukhliss Marouane , Eseghir Abdelhak , El Amrani Hamid , Zaki Moncef , Latifi Mohamed
Published: July 2024

In this paper, we are interested in the introductory teaching of the notion of Mathematical expectation, also known as the expected value. Our research hypothesis is that teaching based on a formal approach may be a didactic failure. The long-term observations of a reduced number of students made it possible to identify various difficulties and conceptual obstacles around the interpretation and the implementation of this notion. The difficulties that obstruct the availability of this object are due mainly to conceptual confusion between the notion of expected value and the notion of probability, others are due to erroneous representations. A quantitative analysis of students' productions showed that the relevance of the formal approach to the interpretation of expected value had no effect on its validity, compared to the intuitive approach which had an impact on its validity. These results thus encourage the adoption of a dialectic: formalism / intuition in the introduction of probabilistic formalism.

Idiomatic Similes in English and Vietnamese: A Contrastive Analysis
Authors: Phuong Vu Mai
Published: July 2024

Simile is deemed to be the simplest, yet frequently used in both English and Vietnamese discourse, which has become an essential and enduring part of daily speech as well as literature. A proper understanding of similes in both languages is a bridge to effective communication in the target language when learners have a chance to access extra-linguistic aspects and apply them to develop their linguistic competence considerably. However, due to its close relation with metaphor, in-depth research on simile itself has been somewhat limited and neglected. This paper is devoted to the exploration of similarities and differences between the use of idiomatic similes in English and Vietnamese. Based on the grounds of this contrastive analysis, some recommendations for teaching and learning similes within EFL context will be proposed and discussed.

Another Perspective in the Education of Netherlands in Indonesia During Colonial Period (1799 - 1942)
Authors: Thang Nguyen Van , Phuc Nguyen Huu , Trong Dinh Van , Kiet Le Hoang , Hiep Tran Xuan
Published: July 2024

During the colonial period in Indonesia (1799-1942), education played a pivotal role in the Dutch colonial government’s strategy of establishing and maintaining its rule. This study employs qualitative analytical methods to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Dutch educational policies implemented throughout this period, examining their objectives, strategies, and impacts on Indonesian society. The Dutch applied a Western-style education system alongside the existing traditional Islamic education, with the dual aims of training personnel for the colonial administration and promoting cultural assimilation. The findings reveal the implementation of a “dual education system”, with Western-style schools using Dutch as the language of instruction and traditional schools teaching in local languages. Over time, the education system evolved, establishing various types of schools, from primary to university levels. However, racial discrimination persisted in access and opportunities, posing significant barriers for indigenous Indonesians compared to their Dutch and Eurasian counterparts. Notably, this study highlights the unintended consequence of Western education nurturing an educated indigenous elite class, many of whom later became driving forces behind the nationalist movement for Indonesian independence. While serving colonial interests of training a loyal workforce and promoting cultural assimilation, the Dutch educational policy inadvertently laid the foundation for the modernization of Indonesia’s education system and the emergence of a new intellectual class. The research findings contribute to understanding the complex role of education in the colonial context and its long-lasting impacts on Indonesia’s development trajectory.

Review Paper on Marketing Strategy & CSR with Socialism in the Pandemic Era
Authors: - Prof (Dr.) Bhavna Agrwal , - Dr. Bhoopendra Bharti
Published: July 2024

We are trying to provide a preliminary analysis of how the Covid-19 epidemic may affect the advancements in CSR and marketing. We contend that the Covid-19 epidemic presents a significant corporate opportunity to move toward more sincere and authentic CSR and help address pressing global social and environmental concerns. We also address some possible areas in which ethical consumer decision-making will change as a result of the epidemic. In our discussion of marketing, we lay out how we think the pandemic is affecting marketing and how we think this will impact not only the context of marketing other than also the way businesses approach their tactical marketing initiatives. The effects of the epidemic are causing something similar to occur right now. A notable exception from the capitalist norm is the socialization of healthcare and the production of some basic goods in country after country; the more severe the crisis, the more socialization there is. We identify a number of prospective study themes and directions at the conclusion of the text.

Breast cancer is the most common and deadly cancer globally, with over 1.6 million new cases in 2010 and over 50,000 deaths annually. It is the leading cause of cancer-related fatalities worldwide and is characterized by various molecular subtypes. In India, the incidence is projected to surpass 90,000 cases in the near future. Insilico molecular docking is a computational technique that simulates interactions between nucleic acids and target molecules to validate the binding of potential aptamer candidates and identify specific binding sites. A total of 28 phytochemical constituents were screened using various software’s to identify drug-likeness and toxicity prediction. Molecular docking studies were performed between protein 4zzz and the phytochemical constituents and recorded. The top five compounds were selected based on their docking scores and e energy, with Berberine having the highest score of -9.80847 and e energy of -46.469. The study compared 28 phytochemical constituents with standard drugs Kaempferol and Quercetin, revealing five constituents with high docking scores and e energy. Berberine, ellagic acid, Hispidulin, Theaflavin, and Genkwanin were found to have good anti-cancer activity. Insilico studies identified berberine as a lead molecule for breast cancer, which can be used as a cocrystal for further studies. The anticancer activity of these compounds could be enhanced by adding substituents to the pharmacophore structure in the future.

Published: July 2024

Lipoma, a very common benign tumor of mesenchymal origin can emerge anywhere in the body; however, its intra-oral counterparts are very rare, with approximately 1-4% occurring in the oral cavity. Typically appearing as painless, soft, smooth nodules with a yellowish hue, it often affects regions like the buccal mucosa, tongue, and floor of the mouth. Surgical removal is the preferred treatment due to its benign nature and low recurrence rate. Histological examination remains the gold standard in the definitive diagnosis of the lipoma.
Here, we present a case of an intraoral lipoma in a 32-year-old woman located on the right mandibular buccal vestibule, managed through surgical excision. Documenting rare cases like this contributes to a better understanding of the prevalence and clinical features of these tumors.

India's diverse demographics, characterized by a sizable youth population and regional disparities, present both challenges and opportunities for initiatives aimed at enhancing skills. Government initiatives like Skill India are designed to impart job-ready skills to millions, spanning sectors from IT to traditional crafts and agriculture.
Entrepreneurship, particularly among young people and marginalized communities, is seen not just as a pathway to attain economic independence but also as a driver for inclusive economic progress. Programs such as Startup India aim to cultivate an entrepreneurial ethos by offering support for incubation, funding, and policy incentives. Nonetheless, obstacles persist, including limited access to capital, infrastructural deficiencies, and the necessity for robust mentorship networks.
The socio-economic outcomes of these endeavours vary across states and demographic segments, influenced by factors like educational attainment, urban-rural disparities, and gender gaps. Efforts to foster skill development and entrepreneurship are increasingly aligned with global trends in digital transformation and sustainable development, emphasizing innovation and adaptability in an evolving economic landscape.

The overall objective of this study was to understand the institutional forces for promoting entrepreneurial development in higher learning institutions (HLIs) in Tanzania and to provide an institutional framework for the same. The study used the Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) as a case study to provide an account of the formal institutions, the informal institutions, and the organizational legitimacy that influence entrepreneurial development in the Tanzanian HLIs. Methodologically, the study used individual interviews and focus groups for primary data collection, and documentary review for secondary data to back up the primary data. The study used thematic analysis to derive themes from the data. Data were analyzed with the aid of Nvivo computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software. Through data saturation, a sample size of 73 respondents was reached. The study revealed that, properly organized formal institutions that are functional, active, and mutually reinforcing-including the HLIs’ charter as a formal external instrument; the research and development policy, innovation policy, entrepreneurship development investment policy, and the entrepreneurship development course as a formal internal instrument-enhance entrepreneurship development in HLIs. The study also revealed the need for informal institutions, such as social traditions and social norms as informal internal instruments, to supplement formal institutions. The study also revealed that, when formal and informal institutional forces are unquestionably functioning, active, and interplaying, and stakeholders are required to comply with them, the organizational legitimacy of entrepreneurship development in HLIs can be attained.

Physical Education in the age of Covid-19

Physical education (PE) has been traditionally considered as a practical and ‘hands-on’ subject in schools, where close proximity and physical contact is common, particularly in India which has a high proximity culture. Significantly, the delivery of PE has changed because of the Covid-19 pandemic, and this brings significant consequences for preservice PE teachers. The aim of the paper is to explore the changes of PE during Covid-19 and the effects on pre-service teachers. Semi-structured interviews were used to produce data with a group of 12 preservice PE teachers from India (four women and eight men) who were undertaking their practicum in PE when the Covid-19 lockdown was imposed in India. Dredging was used as an analytical technique to identify the relations and affects that comprised assemblages of bodies, things and social formations.
Results suggest that preservice teachers are having difficulties in re-assembling PE in the age of Covid-19, and that this produces the affects of precarity, fear and insecurity. Furthermore, the PE re-assemblage also results in a shift of pedagogical affects. The participants particularly struggled to think on a PE assemblage that does not include the affect of physical encounters with their students. The new assemblage of PE also included encounters with digital technologies, which allowed for particular openings and closings for a re-alignment into the shifted PE.
Pre-service teachers were unfamiliar with the way the PE assemblage has shifted, and this shifting affected their ability to produce affects in the ‘new PE’. The new PE assemblage leads to a significant change in the culture of PE teaching in India, where physical contact between teachers and students was previously normal and taken for granted.

We used survey data from a sample of 205 respondents to analyze the different
determinants of individual savings decisions. Results show that having financial
knowledge significantly increases savings rates among students. The savings rate of students is also affected by background factors like their annual family income, their main stream of income, etc. The deficiency of financial literacy among the hostelers is also a serious concern. Our findings also show that the main stream of income and the main mode of transaction also play a crucial role in savings decisions.
