Engaing Brand Awareness for Sustainable Innovations in Cultural Tourism Towards Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH): The Case Studies of China, Myanmar, Thailand, and Australia
Authors: Sawagvudcharee Ousanee 
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This research aims to improve our understanding of the development of intangible cultural heritage with the goal of promoting cultural tourism along with sustainable innovations that prioritize sustainable and environmentally conscious locations. This will be done by using brand awareness to develop sustainable innovations for cultural tourism through intangible cultural heritage.

Theoretical Framework: The study of sustainable innovations in cultural tourism through intangible cultural heritage focuses on raising awareness and promoting green tourism towards knowledge cybernetics (KC). This is done in order to promote tourism culture by raising brand awareness through intangible cultural heritage for sustainable innovations that draw some identities from intangible cultural heritages.

Method: Philosophy, ontological, and epistemological stances, the interpretative approach, a case study methodology, the research design specification, the ethics of human research, and the rationale for the qualitative research methodology employed in this study are all highlighted in the study. As a case study methodology, an interpretive approach was used. The qualitative perspective and the triangulation method were supported by both documentation analysis and non-participation observation. Critical analyses, thematic coding, and content analysis were used to examine the data.

Results and Discussion: According to the results, brand awareness plays a significant role in developing sustainable innovations towards intangible cultural heritages for cultural tourism, which in turn encourages and stimulates travelers to pay attention to a place and be inclined to return. Additionally, it should assist travel destinations in consistently receiving viral marketing and a range of word-of-mouth referrals.

Research Implications: This practical study uses 4 countries—China, Myanmar, Thailand, and Australia—as the case studies to illustrate the importance of building brand awareness towards intangible cultural heritages for sustainable innovations to promote cultural tourism. It should demonstrate their importance to community development, local and national economics, the preservation and propagation of intangible culture, and the establishment of long-term jobs and revenue streams for the local population.

Published: December 2024

Fusarium wilt is one of the most important diseases that affects various plants and is caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum. Fusarium wilts in tomato plants are caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL), whether in fields or greenhouses. The tomato plant is considered one of the most important plants. This disease, however, affects its agricultural production. The current research aimed to diagnose Fusarium species that were isolated from infected tomato plants from different regions in Iraq by using molecular and morphological methods and to study the evolutionary relationship between the studied species, as twenty Fusarium isolates were obtained from infected tomato plants. Genomic DNA was amplified, using primers ITS1 and ITS4 to amplify ITS region, as there were differences between the results of the morphological diagnosis, which were based on the study of morphological features, and the molecular diagnosis which was based on the ITS region. Depending on the morphological features, F7 and F8 isolates were diagnosed as F. oxysporum, while the molecular diagnosis of the ITS regions showed that they were F.incarnatum and F.proliferatum respectively. For the rest of the isolates, the morphological and molecular diagnoses were consistent with Fusarium oxysporum. All isolates were recorded in the Gen Bank, and were given their accession numbers. An evolutionary tree was also made for the studied isolates to know the degree of genetic convergence and divergence between them. The current study concluded that the tomato plants in the field and greenhouse from different regions in Iraq were infected with different Fusarium species, with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, being the most common species, was widely spreading among the identified isolates. Conventional methods based on morphological features take time and may result in incorrect identification of closely related species. Henceforth, Fusarium species may be correctly identified by using molecular methods based on ITS sequences.

In the XXth and XXIst centuries, Hungarian universities have experienced a tremendous transformation as a result of historical changes, and this transformation is still happening today. Not only have the names of the universities changed three or four times, but their organisational structure has also changed countless times. Several institutions have separated from their former universities, others have merged with other higher education institutions. In 2000, several integrated universities were established, but their departmental organisation has changed so many times since then, that it is very difficult to know when and from which institution each university counts its founding and when they have their anniversaries. Understanding the past of Hungarian higher education is also complicated by the fact that some of the predecessors of Hungarian universities were founded before the WWI in cities in now neighbouring countries. In the article below, after giving some examples from Europe, we summarise the changes that have taken place in the organisation of Hungarian universities dating back at least a century. We give a presentation about when and what foundations were celebrated by the Hungarian universities and what historical or more simple jubilee publications were published on these occasions. We also list the universities that have taken such care of their own past resources that have become university archives. Last but not least, we highlight the possible important university anniversaries in the near future.

Published: December 2024

Aquaponics is a system that combines fish and plant farming in one mutually beneficial ecosystem. However, the consumption of electrical energy, such as driving water pumps in aquaponic systems, is crucial because it requires considerable financing. Solar panels are one of the alternatives in reducing the use of electrical energy. Solar energy is environmentally friendly and does not produce pollution like conventional energy. Thus, automation and using solar energy as renewable energy can be a solution to improving the efficiency of aquaponic systems. This research aims to analyze the Arduino-based automation system and the use of 200 Wp solar panels in aquaponics involving catfish and water spinach cultivation. The system uses solar panels as the primary energy source stored in VRLA batteries, regulated through a Solar Charge Controller, and converted into AC electricity to operate the water pump and automatic monitoring system. Arduino Uno controls the automation and monitoring with pH, TDS, temperature, humidity, and ultrasonic sensors to monitor environmental conditions. Tests show that the solar panel produces an average voltage of 40.83 V and a current of 3.28 A, with an efficiency of 40.65% and a power that can be generated in a day of 1200 Watts. The operational cost of the solar panel system was calculated using the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), showing that it is more efficient than PLN electricity at Rp 688.15/kWh vs. Rp 1,444.70/kWh or Rp 31,397.3 vs. Rp 65,947.35 for one year of aquaponic system use. Monitoring for 10 days showed optimal growth of water spinach and catfish plants with consistent pH, temperature, humidity, and pump and servo operation. The results indicate that an aquaponics system powered by renewable energy and Arduino-based automation effectively meets energy needs at a lower cost and improves the efficiency and reliability of aquaponics operations.

Cytokinins are growth regulators that play a crucial role in cell division and shoot growth. Thidiazuron, a potent cytokinin, was the focus of our research. The research aimed to determine the effect of several concentrations of Thidiazuron on the protocorm growth of Grammatophyllum stapeliiflorum and to identify the best concentration of Thidiazuron (mg/L) for the protocorm growth of G. stapeliflorum orchids in vitro. The research was conducted from January until March 2022 at the Plant Physiology Laboratory, Universitas Andalas, Padang. The research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 5 replications. Several concentrations of Thidiazuron were added to MS media with various concentrations: 0 mg L-1 (A), 0.50 mg L-1 (B), 1 mg L-1 (C), 1.50 mg L-1(D), and 2 mg L-1 (E). The parameters in this research were the percentage of life explants, day of shoot appearance, number of shoots, shoot length, number of leaves, number of roots, and root length. The results showed that Thidiazuron significantly affected the protocorm growth of the G. stapeliiflorum orchid compared to the control treatment. Notably, 2 mg L-1 Thidiazuron emerged as the best concentration for all growth parameters of protocorm G. stapeliiflorum, a finding that could significantly impact our understanding of orchid cultivation and plant physiology.

This study aimed to develop a scale to determine the basic psychological needs at career based on Glasser’s Choice Theory and examine its psychometric properties. The sample composed of 1260 people from X,Y, and Z generations living in the provinces Ankara, Gaziantep and Antalya. In the development phase of the scale, expressions reflecting the basic psychological needs at work based on Choice theory ​​were returning into the scale item. Pool of 57 items was formed. Six items were removed from the form and submitted to five academicians for expert opinion and validity-reliability studies were conducted on 51 items. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were used to examine the construct validity of the scale. Also, parallel analysis was used. The Psychological Need Scale was used to examine the criterion related validity. As a result of the construct validity analysis of the scale, a five-factor structure, namely survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun, consisting of 25 items in total (five items each), was obtained as explained in Glasser's Choice Theory. The fit indices of the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the structure exploring in exploratory factor analysis. Cronbach's α coefficient for all five subscales was found as .85, love and belonging were .78, freedom .76, fun .66, power .74 and survival .65. Results of the measurement invariance for X, Y, and Z generations show that the scale has configural, metric and scalar invariance. Overall results show that Choice Theory-based Career Basic Psychological Needs Scale can be used as a valid and reliable scale.

Published: December 2024

Academic achievement of students at the primary school level was a foundation for acquiring educational skills, materials, and knowledge, usually spanning a variety of disciplines. Understanding the factors affecting mathematics achievement at primary school was important for deciding on the teaching and learning process of mathematics in secondary and higher education. This study investigated the factors that influence the academic achievement of students in mathematics in Kaffa Zone Tello Woreda Oda primary school. The target groups for this study were 318 grades 5- 8 students. This group was sampled using stratified sampling techniques, and the sample size was 160 students. The data was collected using questionnaires, student interviews, and a teacher questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression models using a statistical package for social science (SPSS version 20). The finding of this study indicates that students’ academic achievement in mathematics is significantly related to students’ attitudes towards mathematics, studying systems of mathematics, math-test anxiety, and learning resources of mathematics. The significant relation of academic achievement with the predictor variables accounts for 56.8% of the variance. This indicates that the prominent factors for academic achievement in mathematics were students’ attitude towards mathematics, studying system of mathematics, math-test anxiety, and learning resources of mathematics. The other factors investigated by descriptive statistics were parents' educational background, parents' occupation, and teacher-related factors such as teachers' attitudes towards the subject, teachers' methodology, and teaching strategies. Generally, the factors influencing the academic achievement of students at the primary school level were students’ attitudes towards mathematics, studying system of mathematics, math-test anxiety, learning resources of mathematics, parents’ educational background, and parents’ occupation, teachers’ attitude towards the subject, teachers’ methodology and teaching strategies. Finally, the researchers suggested that the concerned bodies should take measures of these factors that influence the academic achievement of mathematics at the primary school level to boost the students’ academic achievement in mathematics.

Published: December 2024

Students’ difficulties associating science topics and concepts with daily life continue from primary school to university. This study aims to develop an open-ended test to determine the level of 5th-grade students’ associating the topics related to the “Propagation of Light” unit with daily life events. The study employs a mixed-methods research model incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methods for test development and validation. To examine the validity of the test, pilot application was applied to 20 students in 6th grade. Then, the test was used on 119 students in 5th grade for actual application of the test. As a result of the study, a valid and reliable “Propagation of Light” unit daily life association test (PoLDAT) consisting of 10 open-ended questions was developed. According to the findings obtained from applying the developed test, it is noteworthy that misconceptions are intense with partial understanding of the unit on the propagation of light. As a result, the PoLDAT will serve measurement and evaluation purposes and enable students to realize the relationship between science subjects and daily life events by activating their thinking processes.

Published: December 2024

Background: The grilled meat (Suya) business exposes its employees to wood smoke and cooking oil fumes, which can cause impaired lung function.
Objective: To compare the prevalence of respiratory and non-respiratory symptoms and lung function indices of suya meat sellers with those of control subjects in Calabar, Nigeria.
Methods: Cluster sampling was used. The population consisted of 83 male grilled meat sellers and 83 male control subjects aged 19 – 40. A self-structured questionnaire was used to obtain their biodata and information on respiratory and non-respiratory symptoms. After that, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) were measured and used as indices of pulmonary function.
Results: Age, anthropometric parameters (weight, height and chest circumference), pulse rate, and oxygen saturation were not significantly different between the two groups. FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC and PEFR were significantly lower (p = 0.042, <0.001, <0.001, and <0.001, respectively) in the test group compared with the control and correlated negatively (p<0.001, <0.001, 0.004 and <0.001, respectively) with the duration of work of the test subjects. About 74% and 60.24% of the test subjects reported chest pain and sneezing, against only 28.91% and 19.28% of the control subjects who reported having these respiratory symptoms. Many test subjects had headaches (84.34%) and waist pain (74.70%), while only a few control subjects had these symptoms (14.46% and 9.64%, respectively).
Conclusion: Chronic exposure to wood smoke and cooking oil fumes from grilled meat (suya) preparation impairs lung function, which worsens with increasing duration of exposure.

OS SENTIDOS DO TEMPO NO PENSAMENTO DE KARL MARX
Authors: Lima Gerson Lucas Padilha de 
Published: December 2024

A intenção deste texto é realizar um diagnóstico crítico das formas de ser do tempo na obra de Karl Marx. Assim vamos explicitar os sentidos do tempo que influenciam a condição humana em geral e de que modo e sob que condições sua subsunção ao tempo fetichizado do capital arruína a vida humana na sociedade capitalista. A metodologia aplicada foi a de análise e revisão bibliográfica das obras de Marx e da bibliografia secundária afim de apreender dialeticamente as determinações e relações recíprocas entre as principais noções de tempo na obra marxiana. O tempo de trabalho médio socialmente necessário se põe como fundamento do valor das mercadorias na sociedade burguesa. Todavia, sua expressão e as contradições que ele enseja são ocultadas para os agentes da troca; e ao mesmo tempo ele se impõe como a forma dominante sobre os modos de ser, de pensar e agir na sociedade capitalista. A partir desta análise vislumbra-se a possibilidade do tempo livre que se põe como horizonte da crítica social, pois aponta para uma dimensão que possibilita a superação concreta das condições do tempo histórico do capital. Assim o tempo livre se põe como a possibilidade de efetivação da liberdade, da igualdade e da justiça social, elementos prometidos, porém não realizados na dinâmica abstraidora da sociedade burguesa. Tal construção processual tem possibilidade de se efetivar mediante os potenciais latentes e manifesto, porém, abafados, na imanência das contradições da sociedade vigente.
PRESUPPOSITIONS AND LEVELS OF UNDERSTANDING IN SCIENTIFIC EXEGESIS: Insights from Indonesian Quranic Scholars
Authors: Iqbal Muhammad , Asfahani Mohammad Ali Rezaei , Tousi Hamid Reza 
Published: December 2024

<p class="ABSTRAKISI">This study explores the presuppositions underlying scientific exegesis as discussed by Indonesian Quranic scholars. Focusing on horizontal gradations of understanding, it examines their role in shaping the necessity for scientific interpretation. Since the 1960s, Indonesia has witnessed significant growth in scientific exegesis, leading to the emergence of three distinct generations of exegetical thought. These developments are rooted in foundational presuppositions (<em>mabna</em>), which drive the evolution of interpretive approaches. Using a literature review method, the research analyzes documents and applies content analysis to identify key insights. The study concludes that the horizontal gradation of understanding, reflecting the Qur’an’s comprehensiveness and its numerous scientific verses, serves as the foundational presupposition for Indonesian scientific exegetes in employing scientific methodologies for Quranic interpretation. This approach underscores the dynamic interplay between scientific perspectives and Quranic understanding within the Indonesian context. </p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Indonesia, presuppositions of exegesis, Kauni verses, gradation of understanding, scientific exegesis</p>
