Abstract
This study reports on a literature review of the leguminous tree Sesbania sesban (L.) Merr, which is found in the N'Djamena region, the Republic of Chad. The study focused on S. sesban’s medicinal and ethnomedicinal uses, biological features, and phytochemical constituents to assist in future evaluations. A literature review using academic websites, such as Science Direct and Springer, online international plant databases, and data from national herbaria was conducted. S. sesban is a perennial shrub or tree that measures 3–4 meters in height. This species is becoming rare in Ndjamena but can be found in the rainy season, while in winter, the species occurs mainly in ponds (Bouta), and in the shores of the Chari and Logone rivers. The local inhabitants in Chad use the species as medicine, livestock feed, fuelwood, and for improving soil fertility and repelling desert encroachment. Traditional healers use its leaves to treat breast cancer and edema. S. sesban is an essential species native to the Republic of Chad that needs conservation and valorization. Viewing its importance and rarity in N’Djamena, a strategy for replanting the species in gardens, homes, and fields around Ndjamena and other regions of Chad is recommended.
Assessment of soil erosion response to climate change in the Sululta catchment, Abbay Basin, Ethiopia
Authors: Tullu Kiyya Tesfa 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis study aimed to assess the response of soil erosion to climate change in the Sululta catchment using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) integrated with the geographic information system (GIS). The current rainfall erosivity factor (R) was computed from the current rainfall data (1989–2018). Regional climate models (RCMs) under representative concentration pathways RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 were used for future rainfall projection (2021–2080) to determine projected rainfall R factor. Rainfall data, soil map, digital elevation model and land use/land cover data were used to evaluate RUSLE factors in the ArcGIS environment. The results of this study showed that the current average annual soil loss rate was found to be 5.03 tons/ha/year. The average annual soil loss may decrease by 2.78 and 0.80% in 2021–2050 and 2051–2080, respectively, under the RCP4.5 scenario compared to the current average annual soil loss. Under the RCP8.5 scenario, the average annual soil loss may increase by 7.75 and 2.98% in 2021–2050 and 2051–2080, respectively, from the current average annual soil loss. The result reveals that the average annual soil loss decreases in both time periods under RCP4.5 and increases in both time periods under RCP8.5.
New Ideologies on Scarlett Whitening Advertisement: Interpreting Symbols of New Masculinity
Authors: Ariella Jihan , Putrib Citra Fransisca Indah Lestari Dano , Usu Novi R , Talani Noval Sufriyanto 
Published: December 2023

<p><em>Masculinity came from the construction of maleness, which means it is made and not born, neither inherent nor natural. The evidence of different masculinity shows in Scarlett Whitening's advertisement. Song Joong Ki, a man and South Korean actor who became the brand ambassador of a skincare brand in Indonesia, shows masculinity in South Korea. The symbols displayed in Scarlett Whitening's advertisement "Get Ready to Meet Song Joong Ki's New Love" were analyzed using a qualitative approach and a tradition of communications, namely semiotics traditions. The theory used Roland Barthes's semiotics, which explores the representation of masculinity symbols. The research results showed that Song Joong Ki had used Scarlett Whitening skincare to support his appearance. In this advertisement, Song Joong Ki still wears typical male accessories. He also features a romantic act, such as giving gifts to the woman he loves. These symbols represent the ideology of new masculinity, which has the potential to break down the understandings of masculinity that have been constructed by society. </em></p>

Published: December 2023

<p><em>The rapid growth of CSR implementation in Indonesia is directily proportional to the growth of the public concerns and demands. However, there are still many kinds of problems and failures that are found due to the lack of the corporate's understandings regarding the CSR itself, even though the success of a CSR plays a big role in forming a corporate's image. In West Nusa Tenggara, one of the corporates that actively implement their CSR programs is PT. Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara. Thus, the objective for this research was to know and understand the implementation of CSR done by PT. Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara through economic empowerment in forming a company image. The results of this research show that the implementation of CSR by PT. Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara through economic empowerment is done through collaborations with implementing partner to form a community within the beneficiaries and to carry out face-to-face training and assistance. This implementation indicates that PT. Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara has implemented the main principles that determine the success of CSR itself, which are sustainability, accountability, and transparency.<strong></strong></em></p><p class="Default"><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p class="Default"><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: </em><em></em></p>

In Situ Observations of the Interplay Between Sea Ice and the Atmosphere and Ocean
Authors: Wu¹ Lily , Rigor² Ignatius , Wang² Muyin 
Published: December 2023

The International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP) maintains fundamental in
situ components of the Arctic Observing Network. Automated Drifting
Stations (ADS) consisting of sea ice, meteorological, and oceanographic
buoys are collectively deployed at many sites with webcams to help
understand the intricate and complex interactions between sea ice, the
atmosphere, and the ocean.
While passive microwave satellites provide substantial information about
the Arctic, remote sensing still has resolution limitations despite
broad spatial coverage. Climate modeling and atmospheric reanalysis help
surmount these limitations, but traditional observational methods of in
situ data collection still have many advantages. Buoys and webcams can
monitor Arctic sea ice changes above and below, allowing for more direct
observations of localized ice floes when deployed in close proximity.
Using data from webcams in the Arctic, we have stitched together images
into time-lapse animations that provide insight into physical sea ice
processes. Coupled with buoy data, we compare physical measurements
(like temperature) with webcam observations (like cloud cover) to
explain trends and anomalies. For example, isothermal periods in the
buoy temperature data match time-lapse images with cloudy skies, while
the opposite is also true: high variability correlates with sunny skies.
Hence, these instruments allow for the verification of Arctic
observations both visually and statistically.
Although significant challenges like camera lifetimes and temporal
resolution still persist, we argue that buoys and time-lapse videos can
help validate satellite data and offer cheaper solutions to collecting
vital information that increases our understanding of geophysical
processes. We’ve compiled these datasets and present case studies
showing the use of time-lapse videos to help monitor and understand the
interplay and processes of the Arctic environment.
Women of Ukraine in the struggle for the formation of a national outlook in the conditions of emigration: the example of the activities of Ukrainian women`s organization in Canada
Authors: Periv Iryna 
Published: December 2023

Successful development and the formation of a modern legal system in Ukraine should be based on the understanding of the value of human life, the importance of the full and harmonious development of each individual, ensuring human rights, and the necessity of creating conditions for the self-realization of human potential. This is possible only through the provision of gender equality. The study and reconsideration of the idea of gender equality through the example of the activities of Ukrainian women's movements in the conditions of emigration not only analyze the development of this idea in the past but also take into account the achievements of the past in understanding the ways and legal mechanisms for the real provision of gender equality in modern Ukrainian society.	The article examines the role and contribution of Ukrainian women in the process of shaping the national worldview among the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada. The importance of the contribution of Ukrainian women in the diaspora to the formation of cultural and national identity helps to highlight their role in preserving and developing the Ukrainian heritage beyond the homeland and their influence on the activities of women's movements in Ukraine during the studied period.	An integral part of the socio-political life in the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada became the women's movement, which initiated the creation of Ukrainian women's societies. Their task was not only to preserve national self-identification and culture but also the need to assist national institutions in Ukraine.	The article also reveals important aspects of women's activities in public life, education, the cultural sphere, and the struggle for the rights of the Ukrainian community in Canada. It explores the instruments, methods, and strategies used by women to support their national identity and contribute to the formation of a Ukrainian national worldview among the immigrant community.

Toward Production Design Metaphor: Implications of Situated Authorship and Meaning-Making
Authors: Ilmaranta Katriina 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe task of production design is to create locations where cinematic events occur. Since the subjective experiences of the characters in the film are mainly observable externally, the entire film practice aims to express them through secondary means, for example by design and cinematography. The filmmaker can choose what she brings to the foreground from the character’s experience and what aspects she emphasizes. In the case of production design, it is possible to express metaphorical correlations through the spatialization process of cinematic events while anticipating the embodied situatedness of the camera and the eventual film viewer. The notion of situated authorship is discussed through iconic design examples fromGone With the WindandThe Birds, which have historically shaped the concept of production design practice. In the case study referring to my work as a designer, I intend to evaluate the schemas used in the spatialization process in the context of Embodied Simulation Theory (EST) and Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT). Here, I propose the idea of a dynamic staging scenario that indicates how cinematic movement – especially the action of the scene and the movement of the camera onset – is considered in spatialization. With the discussion, I conduct a design analysis with which the properties of the space can be evaluated based on the concepts of image schema, primary metaphor, and conceptual metaphor.
About the Impact and Effects of Toxic Leadership on Employees and Organizations
Authors: Octavian Săcui Mihai 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The concept of toxic leadership has emerged as a critical counterpoint to traditional leadership theories, particularly the Transformational Leadership Model. This model suggests that effective leaders are visionaries who develop and implement strategies to realize their vision while fostering the development and motivation of their teams. It emphasizes the positive and effective aspects of leadership, focusing on guiding organizations towards success in their current and future environments. However, this model has been critiqued for its lack of attention to the negative aspects of leadership. This critique has led to the development of the concept of toxic leadership, a taxonomy that includes a range of detrimental leadership behaviors. Some scholars categorize managerial incompetence as a form of toxic leadership, arguing that it undermines organizational agility and effectiveness. Incompetence in leadership roles can significantly impede an organization’s operational and strategic capabilities. More recent explorations of toxic leadership have focused on passive-aggressive behaviors, identifying them as prevalent in organizational settings. This perspective broadens the scope of toxic leadership to include not only overtly aggressive or illegal actions but also more covert forms of destructive behavior. Some definitions of toxic leadership extend to behaviors at national and pseudo-national levels, such as genocide. This expansion underscores the potential for leadership toxicity to manifest in various forms and at different scales, from individual organizations to broader societal structures. The discourse on toxic leadership serves as a vital lens for examining the complexities and potential pitfalls of leadership, highlighting the need for a more holistic understanding of leadership that includes both its positive and negative dimensions.
Towards automated recommendations for drunk driving penalties in Poland - a case study analysis in selected court
Authors: Kiejnich-Kruk Karolina , Twardawa Mateusz , Formanowicz Piotr 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Depending on the legal system, judges may have varying degrees of discretion in determining the type and extent of sentence that can be imposed for a particular offence. Nevertheless, it appears that even in systems traditionally considered discretionary, accepted patterns play a significant role in determining penalties, and judges utilize merely a limited spectrum of potential penalties in repetitive cases. Confirmation of the predictability of sentencing in certain categories of cases facilitates the possibility of automation. Utilising a computer program to assist judges in sentencing proposals based on input is feasible. This program can reflect the standard practice of sentencing penalties and punitive measures in a particular category of cases or rectify it, depending on the adopted sentencing policy. The objective of the article is to present findings from research that investigated whether a specific relation shapes the dimension of penalties and penal measures for cases concerning driving under the influence of alcohol in Poland, in the context of possible automation of the sentencing process. Another aim of this study is to provide an example of a straightforward mathematical recommendation model that tries to reflect both the discovered correlations in the data and the presumed intentions of legislators.
Linguistic Development in Italian L1 and L2 in Italian Nursery Schools in Slovenia
Authors: Zorman Anja , Vatovec Monica Bertok 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Schools with Italian as the medium of instruction in Slovenia are open to all children and young people, regardless of their ethnic affiliation. The article addresses the impact of linguistically diverse classes on the linguistic development of children attending Italian nursery schools. The children’s parents provided basic background information on the child’s language use outside nursery school. The level of the children’s communicative competence in Italian, in terms of listening comprehension and oral production, was measured by means of a standardised test. Although results may not always be statistically relevant due to the small number of participants, they show that the prevailing presence of children that only speak Slovene at home does not hinder the linguistic development of children that only speak Italian at home, and that the Slovene-only cohort clearly benefits from attending Italian nursery school.
Cross-Border Education: Students from Slovenia in Austrian Minority Schools
Authors: Zorčič Sabina , Lukanović Sonja Novak 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The article deals with increasing cross-border education, namely students from Slovenia attending upper-secondary level minority schools in Austrian Carinthia. We conducted interviews with school management and focus groups with students, who also completed a short questionnaire. Based on qualitative and quantitative data, we drew conclusions about the motives of students from Slovenia for enrolment in Slovene minority schools in Austria and about the consequences of their decision – their well-being, their knowledge and use of languages, their plans for the future – as well as in relation to their sense of Europeanness and their varying identities. Cross-border schooling turns out to be a success story. The outcome seems to be particularly favourable for the Slovene minority in Austrian Carinthia as it maintains the scope and quality of minority education, while also having the positive consequence of giving the members of the Slovene minority much greater exposure to the Slovene language, especially spoken language, with which they otherwise have less direct contact.
Dilemmas of Public and State Administration: Bilingualism Bonus or Multilingualism without Bonus
Authors: Mulec Breda 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The role of education systems is crucial in creating bilingualism and multilingualism. Based on domestic and foreign literature and structured interviews with public officials in North Macedonia and Italy, the article analyses the solutions and incentives for institutional bilingualism, which have proven insufficient thus far. It also offers a model of multilingualism as a concept of an ideal environment where speakers can communicate using multiple languages. The impact of new information and communication technologies on language learning and use in bilingual areas and their contribution to the creation of an ideal environment conducive to multilingualism will also be examined. The data obtained shows, among other things, that artificial intelligence is also revolutionising language use and learning. Nonetheless, despite rapid progress, human communication in different languages cannot be replaced by artificial algorithms.

The last decades have seen regular and frequent modifications of the wording of school curricula in the Nordic countries together with increased appeals from teachers for further clarification. The paper analyzes how assessment of the subject English is presented in Sweden and Finland at the lower and upper secondary levels. The aim was to explore how much space was given to assessment in the texts, the types of expectations on school staff the texts generate, and the competences required to meet these, while considering the predominant curriculum theories reflected in these texts. It is a comparative case study combining qualitative and quantitative methods. The results show an imbalance between the two countries when it comes to space allocated to assessment. The Finnish curriculum is more extensive and distinct compared to the Swedish one. In both countries teachers’ main obligation is to make assessments based on knowledge and praxeological competence. Systematic and deliberative curriculum theory permeates both, but the shorter Swedish general guidelines give more space for local interpretation than the more detailed Finnish guidelines. Nevertheless, there are several issues in both curricula that can cause ambiguity. The importance of more distinct and transparent guidelines is thus apparent.
Canuck Connection: AERO’s Relationship to Canadian Educators
Authors: Glinos Peter James 
Published: December 2023

This paper investigates the relationship between the Alternative Education Resources Organization (AERO), considered to be the “primary hub of communications and support for educational alternatives around the world,” and Canadian educators. As it turns out, Canadians, particularly Indigenous groups in Canada, were instrumental in shaping AERO. Educators from Ontario’s alternative education sector, as well as the free schools of British Columbia developed deep connections with AERO over the course of its rise from 1989 to 2003. These relationships helped reinforce AERO’s values surrounding self-directed learning and learner autonomy. An historical analysis was used to understand the influence Canadians had on AERO during the rise of the organization in the 1990’s and early 2000’s. This form of analysis works to reconstruct the past through the examination of primary source material, so that we may learn from the past and better understand the forces that shaped it. For its source material, this inquiry drew from the primary source documents released on AERO’s online archive. This archive contains copies of AERO’s publications from 1989 to 2011, such as The AERO-Gramme Newsletter and The Education Revolution Magazine. The chronological scope of this work encapsulates AERO rise, from 1989 to 2003.
