<p>"The Treasure of Creative Power": A Portrait of the Young Female Artist in Willa Cather's <em>The Song of the Lark</em></p>
Authors: Canido Muiño Elena 
Published: November 2024

This article provides an analysis of the portrayal of the woman artist in Willa Cather’s novel The Song of The Lark while exploring the importance of creativity and art-making processes in the development of a woman’s positive self-identity, as is the case with Thea Kronborg, the protagonist of this modernist Künstlerroman, and with the author herself. Therefore, by examining the above-mentioned issues through the lenses of literary theories, as well as through art research and music studies, this article posits that Thea’s process of self-growth comes through locating the vocation of artistic creativity in music learning and opera singing in particular. This paper ultimately aims to prove that music is not only a genuine source of inspiration for musicians and singers, but it can also be a force that writers use in their literature to re-create stories and move toward richer self-expression.

Authors: Arbués Cristina 
Published: November 2024

Ian McEwan’s Sweet Tooth presents a character-author, Tom Haley, who having experienced the betrayal of both his government (by the hands of an MI5 organisation) and his new-found lover, Serena Frome, decides to work through his trauma through the creation of a revenge narrative. To create such a narrative, Haley conveniently makes use of the metafictional artifice. To cover all such concepts, this article focuses on studies on authorship, trauma and metafiction to be able to exert an exploration of Haley’s process of creation, his reasoning in the creation of his narrative, and an analysis of his traumatic experience(s).

Fitoplankton dapat berperan sebagai bioindikator untuk mengindikasi baik atau buruknya perairan. Fitoplankton juga menjadi produsen primer karena menghasilkan klorofil-a yang berperan dalam proses fotosintesisnya. Salah satu komponen yang mempengaruhi produktivitas primer perairan adalah klorofil-a. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui jenis fitoplankton, kelimpahan dan hubungan antara kandungan klorofil-a dengan kelimpahan fitoplankton di Perairan Desa Pelapis, Kecamatan Kepulauan Karimata, Kabupaten Kayong Utara. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode purposive sampling dengan menentukan enam titik stasiun dan menganalisis data menggunakan analisis kolerasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelimpahan fitoplankton yang ditemukan yaitu dari kelas Bacillariophyceae, Dinophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae dan didominasi oleh spesies Chaetoceros sp., Biddulphia sinensis, dan Asteroplanus karianus. Perairan Desa Pelapis memiliki tingkat kesuburan sedang (mesotrofik) berdasarkan kelimpahan fitoplankton. Perairan dengan kandungan klorofil-a 0,005 hingga 0,022 mg/L dianggap memiliki tingkat kesuburan tinggi (eutrotrofik). Hubungan antara kandungan klorofil-a dan kelimpahan fitoplankton sangat kuat, dengan nilai kolerasi 0.941 dan dipengaruhi oleh perameter lingkungan lainnya seperti kecepatan arus dan kecerahan perairan yang bersifat positif, dengan nilai kolerasi 0.551 dan 0.141
Research on the Reform of Criminal Law Course in Undergraduate Legal Education
Authors: Zhang Jianyi 
Published: November 2024

There are deficiencies in the construction of the Criminal Law course, such as excessive rationality but insufficient practicality, emphasis on knowledge transmission over ability cultivation, and a focus on traditional crimes while neglecting new types of crimes. To overcome the above shortcomings, it is necessary to adhere to the teaching philosophy of integrating theory and practice, with teaching content based on practical experience and higher than practical experience, steadily promote the reform of teaching methods with the flipped classroom as the main body, substantially promote the construction of a dual teacher team, and reconstruct the curriculum assessment method guided by the OBE concept.

Authors: Gitonga Christine Kananu , Egessa Robert , Tibbs Charles 
Published: November 2024

Purpose: This study sought to establish the influence of reward system on talent engagement and to establish the moderating effect of organizational culture on the relationship between employee value proposition and talent engagement of Technical And Vocational Education Training Institutions (TVET).
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study was guided by theory of employee engagement. The study adopted causal research design. The study was conducted among 347 Private TVET in Nairobi County, Machakos County, Kiambu County and Kajiado County. The study used stratified random sampling to select 186 respondents. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires. Data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics and presented using graphs, charts and tables.
Findings: The results indicated the coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.271, P=0.000 and this shows that 27.1% of the variations in the talent engagement in private TVET can be explained by reward system. The interaction between reward system and organizational culture moved R square from 0.271 to 0.646 implying that 37.6% of additional variation in talent engagement is as a result of moderating effect of organizational culture.
Implications/Originality/Value: TVET management should make sure the incentive system fits with the fundamental values and corporate cultural concepts. Moreover, management of TEVT should emphasize the need of values in daily operations by including the incentive system within a values-driven corporate culture and encouraging and supporting actions related with the EVP.

Quadri-Polar Fuzzy Fantastic Ideals in BCI-Algebras: A TOPSIS Framework and Application
Authors: Balamurugan M. , Hakami Khalil H. , Ansari Moin A. , Al-Masarwah Anas , Loganathan K. 
Published: November 2024

A quadri-polar fuzzy ($q\mathcal{P}$-$\mathcal{F}$) set is an extension of a traditional fuzzy set that uses four degrees of membership to represent different aspects of belonging to provide a more detailed framework for handling uncertainty and vagueness. In this paper, we propose the notion of quadri-polar-$(\varpi,\vartheta)$-fuzzy fantastic ideals ($q\mathcal{P}$-$(\varpi,\vartheta)$-$\mathcal{FFI}(s)$) in BCI-algebras based on $q\mathcal{P}$-$\mathcal{F}$ set. Also, the notion of quadri-polar-$(\in_{\tilde{\sigma}}, \in_{\tilde{\sigma}} \vee q_{\tilde{\tau}})$-fuzzy fantastic ideals ($q\mathcal{P}$-$(\in_{\tilde{\sigma}}, \in_{\tilde{\sigma}} \vee q_{\tilde{\tau}})$-$\mathcal{FFI}(s)$) is introduced, and the characterizations for an $\in_{\tilde{\sigma}}$-$q\mathcal{P}$-$\mathcal{F}$ set and $q_{\tilde{\tau}}$-$q\mathcal{P}$-$\mathcal{F}$ set to be quadri-polar fuzzy ideals ($q\mathcal{P}$-$\mathcal{FI}$) in BCI-algebras are established. Furthermore, we present the $q\mathcal{P}$-$\mathcal{F}$ TOPSIS technique for multi-criteria Group decision-making (MCGDM), which is a natural extension of the TOPSIS method and used to rank and choose the best alternatives under $q\mathcal{P}$-$\mathcal{F}$ positive and negative ideal solutions. Finally, practical examples interpreting the applicability of our proposed $q\mathcal{P}$-$\mathcal{F}$-TOPSIS are solved.

Authors: Gijare Bhumika , Shrivastava Anshu , Ansari Shaista 
Published: November 2024

This study explores the repercussions of excessive screen time on the cognitive and communicative development of children under six years old. Screen timerefers to the duration children spend interacting with electronic devices such as televisions, tablets, and smartphones. Cognitive development encompasses the processes through which children acquire knowledge, problem-solving skills, and memory, crucial for their learning abilities. Communication Developmentis the process through which children acquire skills to understand and express language. It includes receptive language (understanding), expressive language (speaking or writing), and pragmatic skills (social use of language). Effective communication is essential for social interaction, learning, and emotional expression. The aim of the research was to assess the impact of excessive screen time on these developmental areas among children in Raipur and Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. A sample of 100 children was selected using random sampling techniques from therapy centers, hospitals, and schools. Data were collected through the "seven-in-seven screen exposure questionnaire" and the DP-3 developmental assessment tool.The reliability of the "seven-in-seven screen exposure questionnaire" was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, resulting in a score of 0.85, indicating high internal consistency. The DP-3 developmental assessment tool achieved a reliability score of 0.90, reflecting strong consistency across its items. Content validity for both instruments was ensured through expert reviews, while construct validity was confirmed by correlating scores with established benchmarks for cognitive and communication milestones, validating their effectiveness in measuring the intended constructs. The research employed a quantitative design, utilizing one-way ANOVA to analyze the data. Statistical analysis indicated a significant negative impact of prolonged screen exposure on cognitive development (F=6.0219, p<.05), particularly affecting attention span and memory retention.
However, communication skills did not exhibit significant impairment (F=2.8593, p>.05). These findings highlight the importance of managing screen time effectively to support healthy cognitive development in young children.

Nuevos registros de anfibios para el Parque Nacional Mburucuyá, Corrientes, Argentina.
Authors: Cano Paula D. , Leynaud Gerardo C. , Ball Héctor A. 
Published: November 2024

Los anfibios constituyen una importante parte de la biomasa en la mayoría de los ecosistemas y poseen amplia distribución mundial. Poseen particularidades anatómicas (piel muy permeable) y reproductivas (huevos sin cascarón), lo cual los vuelve vulnerables a cambios drásticos en la calidad del ambiente (Zug et al., 2001). Sin embargo, pocas veces son tenidos en cuenta por las políticas de conservación (Pough et. al., 1998). La progresiva modificación del paisaje, va produciendo una matriz donde alternan áreas silvestres con áreas modificadas por el hombre, aislando las poblaciones de distintas especies. Las áreas protegidas albergan muchas especies que nos se encuentran ajenas a estos problemas. Por esta razón es de suma utilidad conocer la distribución, historia natural, etología y caracteres reproductivos de estas especies, para generar planes de manejos adecuados y conservación de las especies en problemas de conservación.

Augmenting of primary and secondary macronutrients by chopped leucaena leaves used as organic matter in composted sweet potato mounds under tropical humid lowland conditions
Authors: M. Peter Topas , Y. Chung Ruben , S. Michael Patrick 
Published: November 2024

The importance of chopped leucaena leaves as an organic matter amendment in mounds used for sweet potato production was investigated. Fresh leaves were collected, sun-dried, chopped, and applied to land that was plowed, and mounded with four treatments. The first treatment was set as the control, 1 kg of chopped leaves was applied but not planted in the second, no chopped leaves were applied and planted in the third, and chopped leaves were applied and planted with sweet potato in the fourth treatment, respectively. These were replicated four times and set up for six months in the field. A 500 g of soil samples were taken from the top 0 – 60 cm of the mounds, processed, and analyzed for macronutrients, electrical conductivity, and pH using standard analytical procedures. The results showed that adding the chops increased the content of all the macronutrients. In almost all cases, the application of the chopped leaves and concurrent planting sustained the availability of the nutrients compared to the depletion that occurred when no amendment was made nor planted. The changes in electrical conductivity and pH were within acceptable ranges. These findings have implications for soil fertility management in the humid tropics.
