Sustainable rural settlement development in Vietnam: what lessons are gained from ethnic minority communities?

ABSTRACT Coming into the general development process of urban areas, rural settlements gradually lose their distinctive character in the cultural and spatial organization of a community. Not only that, this approach affects how the local communities change their lifestyle and livelihood and increases unsustainable development that is clearly seen through community poverty and the gradual depletion of natural resources. This research investigated local environments and efforts by local communities to adapt to new living environments. Using qualitative and quantitative research methodologies from macro to micro levels, this research discovered two settlements of the Katu ethnic group in Quang Nam province. The research findings indicated that current approaches to community planning and development are ineffective in the sustainable development of the local community; in contrast, these approaches trigger adverse changes in the cultural and biological diversity in the region. This research proposed a theoretical framework that helps the local community achieve sustainable development and the conservation of natural and cultural resources through four principal dimensions: (1) livelihoods, (2) built environments, (3) natural environments, and (4) cultural traditions. This research expanded and detailed the drivers of change in biocultural diversity theory, integrating biocultural diversity into the sustainable development of the rural community. In addition, this research showed that the sustainable development of the rural community needs to be based on respect towards the close relationship between traditional knowledge/indigenous wisdom and the natural environment. The research holds great significance in perfecting the theoretical framework of community planning, serving as a basis for proposing rural development and management policies as well as enhancing the identification of local communities, especially ethnic minority groups.

Pharmacological Activities of the Roots of Stemona tuberosa Medicinal Plant: An Overview

: Since childhood, plants and plant products have been used extensively as medicine. The majority of rural residents still rely on natural resources and the old-fashioned medical system for their daily needs. The biological richness of Arunachal Pradesh is renowned, as is its rich cultural diversity. The native population uses a number of aromatic and medicinal plant species to cure a wide range of illnesses. The current review deals with the biological activity of Stemona tuberosa, a possible medicinal plant species of Arunachal Pradesh. Extract from tuberous roots has numerous properties, including anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tobacco mosaic virus, antitussive, wound healing, and anti-herpes. The roots' powder is employed as a preservation and insect deterrent. Alkaloids, sugars and glycosides, phenolic compounds, trace amounts of proteins, saponin, flavonoids, and gum mucilage, were all found during the phytochemical analysis, which shows that the species has a significant potential for therapeutic use. As a result, it is possible to think of the examined species as a potential source of beneficial medications.

Review of cloud computing models in education and the unmet needs

<p>This article thoroughly examines recently proposed cloud computing (CC) models used within the higher educational institutions (HEI) field, scrutinizing their objectives, structures, and incorporated requirements. Each model's unique architecture and functionality are analyzed to understand their potential educational contributions. Beyond technical considerations, the study explores nuanced requirements essential for successful integration in educational settings. The review exposes diverse aims pursued by the models, such as enhanced scalability, collaborative learning, and resource management, emphasizing their capacity to reshape traditional educational paradigms. However, a notable gap emerges-the absence of cultural and requirement elicitation models within the frameworks. Despite growing cultural diversity and varied educational needs, most models lack components addressing cultural nuances and robust requirement elicitation. In conclusion, the paper identifies a pressing need for a transformative shift in developing CC models for education. The absence of dedicated cultural and requirement elicitation models challenges the holistic effectiveness of these frameworks. Future efforts should prioritize integrating culturally sensitive components and comprehensive requirement elicitation strategies to create adaptive, universally applicable, and inclusive CC educational environments. Addressing these gaps will pave the way for a nuanced and responsive integration of CC technologies in diverse educational settings.</p>

Effects of Culture Systems and Nutrients on the Growth and Toxin Production of Karenia selliformis

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) formed by toxic microalgae have seriously threatened marine ecosystems and food safety and security in recent years. Among them, Karenia selliformis has attracted the attention of scientists and society due to its acute and rapid neurotoxicity in mice. Herein, the growth and gymnodimine A (GYM-A) production of K. selliformis were investigated in diverse culture systems with different surface-to-volume (S/V) ratios and nitrogen/phosphorus concentrations. The results showed that the specific growth rates (μ), maximal cell yields, and GYM-A production levels of K. selliformis increased with higher S/V, but no significant differences were observed under different culture volumes with the same S/V, which indicated that light penetration and gas exchange in the seawater culture systems actually influenced the growth and GYM-A production of K. selliformis. The maximum cell density and photosynthetic efficiency of K. selliformis decreased under nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deficiency, suggesting that the growth of K. selliformis was significantly inhibited by the deficiency in N or P. Both N and P limitation conditions, especially P deficiency, promoted the cellular GYM-A quotas of K. selliformis. In this study, a scientific basis is provided for understanding the effects of culture systems and nutrient concentrations on the growth and toxin production of K. selliformis.

International Conference on Renewal and Reform of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ICRITC24): A Review

It is now almost inevitable that an agenda to identify the relevance of the thoughts of past scholars to the present-day circumstances facing the ummah is to be set that must look criticality of the 'Methodology and Measures' for progress of the ummah in OIC and beyond. This is in its efforts to avoid any labelling of Islamophobic mindset to be in hailed by the present-day media. Islamic studies, and civilisational discourse in our higher learning institutions especially for Muslims and others alike be planned, to give a chance to the idea of alliance of civilizations to prosper rather being dragged into otherwise an alien agenda of clash of civilizations, to be established. Thus, an International Conference on Renewal and Reform of Islamic Thought and Civilization-Enriching Islamic Discourse for Global Civilizational Relevance, was organised to offer audience problems and solutions to create incredible ideas which may have positive impacts during the conference. International Conference on Renewal and Reform of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ICRITC24)-Enriching Islamic Discourse for Global Civilizational Relevance, therefore was a reality and was well organised. Papers in English, Bhasa Malayu and Arabic languages were presented and discussed. The themes covered during two days event mainly but not limited to were:  Intellectual Renewal and Ethical Philosophy;  Science, Technology, and Environment;  Educational Reform and Islamic Thought;  Radicalisation, Social Integration, and Gender Issues;  Islamic Revivalism, Intellectual Renewal and Societal Change;  Education, Knowledge Integration and Interdisciplinary Approaches;  Islamic Thought and Society: Integration, Renewal, and Ethical Engagement;  Intellectual Renewal, Ethical Philosophy and Regional Studies; and  Islamic Arts, Cultural Diversity and Civilisational Dialogue.

Investigating university students' colloquial speech utterances of English in intercultural settings: a case study in Albanian context

In today's world, the widespread use of English, along with student mobility, democratisation, cultural diversity, and the influence of media—especially the Internet—shapes the language environments of higher education institutions from a broad cultural and international communication perspective. This situation is also evident at the University "Ismail Qemali" in Vlore, Albania. The author of this paper researched how English is utilized by both local and foreign students outside the classroom. To gather data, informal conversations were recorded and systematically analyzed using descriptive approaches, statistical modeling, and conversation analysis methods, involving a corpus of 60 students from different native backgrounds (47 local Albanian students and 13 European students). Qualitative and quantitative data were collected to identify phonetic patterns, their occurrences in colloquial speech, and the reasons behind certain linguistic usages or deviations observed in students' "small talk" in multicultural settings. Some participants noted that they are influenced by English and American cultures and lifestyles to varying degrees. Conversely, other students communicated in their native languages while applying basic speech acts that were typical of their original cultural backgrounds. This behaviour illustrated some inconsistencies in phonetics, grammar, and vocabulary. These linguistic deviations reflect how language embodies individual personalities and cultural backgrounds, as speakers adapt their styles and settings in conversation.

Equal Rights in the Construction of Places of Worship for Followers of Religious Beliefs

The legal construction of the Indonesian nation through Article 20 paragraph (1), Article 20A paragraph (1), (3) Article 21, Article 28E paragraph (1), Article 28E paragraph (2), Article 28I paragraph (1), Article 28I paragraph (2), Article 29 paragraph (1), and Article 29 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. has provided a guarantee of recognition of religion and other believers. Cultural diversity in the realm of religion is a special characteristic of Indonesian society. Various cultures, races, tribes and religions have become an inseparable part of the identity of the Indonesian people since before this country was founded. However, violations of religious freedom still often occur in Indonesia. Various conflicts regarding permits for places of worship are prohibited by the majority. This has violated human rights which are stated in the 1945 Constitution. Joint Ministerial Regulation (PBM) Number 8 and Number 9 of 2000 should be the basis for protection and equality for the construction of places of worship. However, this regulation has not been able to fully accommodate the rights of believers because the provisions of Article 14 of the Joint Ministerial Regulation are still discriminatory. The Draft Law on the Protection of Religious Communities needs special attention to unravel the problems of building houses of worship and as a form of concrete legal protection for religious communities and believers.

전두엽 알파파 비대칭성과 내재화 증상 및 성격적 특성과의 관계 : 특질모델과 능력모델의 비교

This preliminary study explored the clinical utility of frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA), an index reflecting the difference in alpha wave intensity between the left and right frontal lobes, by investigating its relationship with internalizing symptoms and personality traits. Thirty non-clinical university students in their 20s participated in the study. FAA was measured during resting and stress-induced states to compare the explanatory power of the dispositional model and the ca pability model. The results revealed significant negative correlations between stress-induced FAA and anxiety and depression symptoms. Additionally, the difference between resting FAA and stress-induced FAA also showed a significant negative correlation with depression symptoms. In terms of personality traits, stress-induced FAA and the difference between resting and stress-induced FAA were significantly correlated with neuroticism. In contrast, resting FAA did not exhibit significant relationships with either internalizing symptoms or personality traits. These findings suggest that the capability model provides a more accurate explanation for the relationship between FAA, internalizing symptoms, and personality traits. This study highlights the potential of stress-induced FAA as a biological marker for predicting internalizing symptoms and neurotic tendencies. Furthermore, it contributes to expanding the cultural diversity of FAA research data, addressing a topic that has been relatively unexplored in the domestic context.

Maritime Vocabularies Learning In English For Children And Teenagers In The Geopark Area Of The Bajo-Tilamuta Ethnic Village

Boalemo Regency selected the Bajo-Tilamuta Ethnic Village as a Cultural Diversity site for the Gorontalo Geopark due to the uniqueness of this ethnic group's way of life. The Bajo-Tilamuta tribe, one of the Bajo tribes, can be found on the coast of Gorontalo Province, specifically in Boalemo Regency. Despite residing on the coast, the Bajo-Tilamuta tribe remains isolated and distant from the broader population's settlements. However, the intensity of meetings between the Bajo and Gorontalo tribes often occurs through activities as fishermen and marriages between the Bajo and Gorontalo tribes. The Bajo tribe is known as a nomadic tribe at sea. Because of its spread beyond national borders, this tribe is known as a free border crosser. The Bajo tribe's reliance on the sea for shelter has led to their spread to various parts of the world, particularly in Southeast Asia. In the past, the Bajo tribe was known for exclusively living at sea, meaning they were born, lived, and died on boats. The Bajo people's way of life has now changed. Although the Bajo people still live on the sea's edge, their lives tend to settle in one place, leading many of their children to attend school and become graduates. The potential of the Bajo village as an ethnic geopark village hinges on the availability of human resources capable of supporting the village's designation as a geopark tourism village. Therefore, children and teenagers in the Bajo-Tilamuta Village require foreign language training, such as English. We take this action to prepare for the potential arrival of foreign tourists in the future. Through community service integrated with KKN (Community Service Program), students use the English teaching method for young learners by introducing maritime English vocabulary whose objects are in the daily lives of the Bajo Community, namely the sea and its environment.

Exploring Operant Conditioning in Nella Larsen’s passing: Beyond Clash of Civilizations

Through the clash of civilizations, this study represents the ongoing negotiation and redefinition of personalities of their identities. This conflict between traditional values and personal ambitions highlights cultural tensions between ethnic and cultural identity. The study illustrates Skinner's behavioral theory, pointing out how external reinforcements and punishments affect characters' actions and decisions. In addition, the novel provides a commentary on social norms and the relentless pursuit of identity and belonging in a divided world, reflecting the ongoing struggles that individuals face with societal expectations and personal ambitions. The clash of civilizations shows the importance of cultural diversity and complexities in shaping identities in a multicultural society. Identity’s responses to reinforcement and punishment reveal the complex relationship between behavior, societal expectations, and individual choices in shaping a person's sense of self. After the study, it was discovered that Skinner's theory of reinforcement and punishment can be seen in the behavior of the two main characters in Larsen's novel. The novel reflects cultural and social tensions in early twentieth-century America and illustrates how the clash of ethnic and cultural identities can shape an individual's behavior and life decisions.

다문화가정 소아우울증 아동의 학교생활 적응에 관한 사례연구

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the school adjustment of children with depression from multicultural families by examining their self-perception, perception of their surroundings, and the process of school adjustment. While previous studies have analyzed the developmental characteristics and school adjustment trends of children from multicultural families using statistical methods, this study intends to complement these studies by focusing on the changes in the research subjects' self-perception, perception of their surroundings, and school adjustment. Methods: Based on qualitative research methods such as participant observation, interviews, and analysis of classroom materials, the process of school adjustment of children from multicultural families was analyzed at the sentence and event levels. By categorizing these analyses, the causes of school adjustment difficulties in children with depression from multicultural families were identified. A teacher-action research method was applied, focusing on enabling children to solve problems independently. Results: The findings revealed that the participating children faced significant challenges in school adjustment due to familial stressors, discrimination, and depressive symptoms. Despite these adversities, the children demonstrated resilience and gradually adapted to their school environment with consistent support from teachers and peers. The children's self-perception and social perception evolved through three distinct stages: (1) a gradual shift from isolation to connection; (2) the development of selfexpression through communication; and (3) the resolution of interpersonal conflicts. The process of school adjustment was categorized into two stages: (1) a period of initial challenges followed by proactive efforts towards adaptation; and (2) the attainment of a sense of belonging and the formation of new aspirations. Conclusion: Based on the study findings, it is imperative to create individualized educational environments that acknowledge and leverage the cultural diversity of children from multicultural families. Additionally, fostering collaborative partnerships between schools, healthcare providers, and families is crucial to support the holistic development of these children.

International Culture Awareness: Indonesia-Thailand Joint Community Service

The introduction of Indonesian culture is carried out through an understanding of ethnicity, art, language, and customs. This cultural sharing is considered effective as a means to promote the nation's culture and increase understanding between nations as a bridge to improve cross-cultural understanding and strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries. By introducing Indonesia's cultural diversity to the Thai people, it is hoped that it can increase understanding of the importance of culture as a form of national identity and maintain social harmony. By using the observation approach, sharing season, and presentation to identify the impact of the introduction of Indonesian culture on the perception of Thai society, with the main focus on cultural understanding, we can establish international cooperation. This study shows that this cultural introduction initiative can enrich Indonesia's cultural insights in the Thailand community, especially in Thai Global Business Administration Technological College (TGBC), as well as make them aware of the importance of culture as a national asset that must be preserved and appreciated. This can open up opportunities for cooperation in academic and non-academic fields, which will later create a closer and mutually beneficial relationship between the two countries.

Kutika; Local Knowledge of Muna People in Determining Good Days and Bad Days

The diversity of cultures and traditions owned by the Indonesian nation is one of the most valuable assets. Ethnic diversity is the source of the diversity of cultures in Indonesia. Culture plays an important role in the lives of Indonesian people, influencing the way they communicate, think, and interact on a daily basis. Muna, one of the districts in Southeast Sulawesi Province, has a many diverse culture, including Kutika traditions. The kutika tradition in the Muna community serves as a guideline to determine good and bad times in various activities, such as defoere lambu (building a house), dopesuaghi lambu bughou (entering a new house), kagaa (getting married), kampua (aqiqah), katoba (enumeration), karia (pingitan), and farming activities (planting and harvesting) and trading (starting a new business). Similar to the tradition of elixir in the Javanese tribe and koasala-kosali in Bali. The kutika tradition is a characteristic of the Muna people and is recognized as an ancestral heritage. This tradition not only has noble values that must be upheld, but also has an important meaning in the life of the Muna Community, namely the meaning of success, the meaning of safety, the meaning of preserving traditional culture and the meaning of socio-culture, In addition, traidisi also acts as an educational medium that teaches social values, such as responsibility and honesty. Before carrying out important activities, the Muna people usually consult with parents and/or traditional leaders to determine a good day. The accuracy in this determination is believed to affect safety and smoothness in its implementation. Thus, Kutika is not only a tradition, but also an integral part of the identity and daily life of the Muna people.

Influence of Genetic Ancestry on Gene-Environment Interactions of Polygenic Risk and Sociocultural Factors: Results from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos.

Many present analyses of Hispanic/Latino populations in epidemiologic research aggregate all members of this ethnic group, despite immense diversity in genetic backgrounds, environment, and culture between and across Hispanic/Latino background groups. Using the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), we examined the role of self-identified background group and genetic ancestry proportions in gene-environment interactions influencing the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and a polygenic score for BMI (PGS BMI ). Weighted univariate and multivariable generalized linear models were executed to compare the effects of environmental variables identified a priori by McArdle et al. 2021. Both Amerindigenous (AME) ancestry proportion and background group identity were statistically modeled as confounders both through stratified and joint analyses to understand their influence on the relationship between BMI and PGS BMI , while incorporating gene-environment interactions of PGS x diet and PGS x age-at-immigration. After complex survey weighting, 7,075 participants remained in the analytic sample, representing individuals of six background groups: Central American, Cuban, Dominican, Mexican, Puerto Rican, and South American. The distributions of key environmental and sociocultural variables were heterogeneous between Hispanic/Latino background groups. Associations of these variables with AME ancestry were similarly heterogeneous upon stratification, indicating confounding by background group. In a predictive model for BMI incorporating health, immigration, and environmental variables, PGS BMI performance decreased with increasing AME ancestry proportion. In this model, most statistically significant GxE interactions lost significance after ancestry and background stratification, except for PGS x age-at-immigration interactions in some strata: Mexican background individuals born in the US compared to those >=21 years old at migration (β=1.33, p<0.01), Dominican background individuals 6-12 years old at migration compared to those >=21 years old at migration (β=4.38, p<0.001), and Cuban background individuals 0-5 years old at migration compared to those >=21 years old at migration (β=2.20, p=0.015), where US-born includes individuals born in the US 50 states/DC. Controlling for self-identified background group identity and genetic ancestry did not eliminate statistically significant differences in interactions between AME ancestry and environmental variables in certain strata of AME ancestry among some Hispanic/Latino background groups in HCHS/SOL.

Call for Peace and National Cohesion: Reading from Selected Arabic Literary Texts of Nigerian Authorship

Since ancient times, literature has served as a mirror reflecting society and its progress, often engaging with themes of morality, compassion, unity, and peaceful coexistence within human communities. Literature, through both poetry and prose, communicates ethical values that encourage and educate for peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and harmonious social relationships. This study utilizes a descriptive approach to examine the contributions of Nigerian authors in Arabic literature to the promotion of national integration, harmony, and peaceful coexistence among Nigerians of diverse ethnicities and constituencies. By selecting specific literary texts, especially poetry, from the works of three prominent Nigerian literary figures, this paper investigates how Arabic literature of Nigerian authorship has fostered ideals of unity, harmony, and peaceful cohabitation within Nigeria’s highly heterogeneous socio-political landscape. Findings from the study reveal that numerous Nigerian Arabic literary scholars have significantly contributed to the advocacy for national integration and peace. Their literary productions emphasize the importance of unity among Nigerians, despite the multitude of languages, rich cultural diversity, and varied practices across the country. These literary works serve as powerful tools for promoting tolerance, understanding, and unity, highlighting literature’s essential role in reinforcing shared national values, fostering patriotism, and enhancing collective consciousness in Nigeria’s complex and multicultural society.
