Is security still the chiefest enemy? The challenges and contradictions in European confidence- and security-building in the Cold War

ABSTRACT The regime of Confidence- (and Security-) Building Measures (C(S)BMs) represented an effort to re-imagine Arms Control in Europe and reduce the possibility of unwanted escalation due to misunderstanding or misperception. The regime was first developed during the Cold War due to concerns about large-scale military exercises, and its ongoing importance has come into sharp relief given that NATO and Russia have increasingly engaged in similar manoeuvres. However, despite the C(S)BMs, military exercises represented a point of conflict between NATO and the Soviet Union, and there is little indication that the regime led to the development of confidence in the benign intent of other participants. What prevented this from occurring? This paper compares the theory and logic of confidence-building with the negotiations around the CSBMs, highlighting three primary points of discontinuity that undermined the ability of the regime to fully deliver on its potential. The competitive nature of negotiation about its terms resulted in incomplete transparency, the conflation of the concepts of ‘confidence’ and ‘security’ shifted the focus towards assessing an adversary’s military capability rather than intent, and the regime’s inflexibility meant that it did not account for technological changes that otherwise altered understanding of proximate threat.

A social justice approach to develop intercultural communicative competence

ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of implementing a social justice culture curriculum on learners’ development of the intercultural communicative competence (ICC) and on their desire to continue learning Spanish. Two types of culture instruction—a traditional curriculum centered around foreign Spanish-speaking countries and an experimental curriculum focused on US Hispanic/Latinx communities—were implemented in third and fourth Spanish courses at a US university in the Southwest. A survey was developed to measure participants’ (n = 264) ICC and intention to continue learning Spanish. Results indicate that both types of culture curriculum have a positive impact in the development of ICC cognitive domain, but only the US Hispanic/Latinx curriculum fosters development of the affective domain. None of the curricula impacted ICC behavioral domain or participants intention to continue studying Spanish. These results offer insights into ICC developmental path and provide evidence of the connection between the deforeignization of the curriculum and cognitive and affective dimensions of language learning.

Metaverse application, flow experience, and Gen-Zers’ participation intention of intangible cultural heritage communication

With outstanding advantages in virtuality, immersion, connectivity, and openness, the application of the metaverse in the development of intangible cultural heritage has demonstrated great potential to enhance Gen-Zers’ participation intention, but the effect and its mechanism remain unclear. This study constructs a theoretical model based on the stimuli-organism-response (SOR) theory, the DeLone and McLean model of information system (IS) success (D&M) model, and flow theory, and conducts an empirical study using a structural equation model and regression analysis based on questionnaire survey data in China to uncover whether and how metaverse application exerts its impact. Results show that metaverse application can enhance Gen-Zers’ participation intention in the communication of intangible cultural heritage, and their mechanism follows a chain path of “stimulus-state-response” under the joint action of “technology-individual-environment” in which metaverse application is the key stimulus factor, flow experience is the mediator, and self-efficacy and subjective norm are moderators. The findings can offer new insights for research on metaverse application from the perspectives of consequences and effects and can also provide practical implications for metaverse application as well as the development and communication of intangible cultural heritage.

Driving factors and micro-mechanism of residents’ participation intention in individual pension system

The introduction of an individual pension system is crucial to improve the current pension system in China. To increase the rate of participation of individuals in this new pension system and to give full play to its pension security effect, in this study, we built a conceptual model of participation intention of residents based on the theory of planned behavior considering seven new factors. Data were obtained through a questionnaire survey, and empirical tests and analyses were conducted using methods such as structural equation modeling. According to the results, 77.8 % of residents were willing to participate in the individual pension system. The internal driving factors such as perceived usefulness, trust, family burden and policy support directly influenced the residents’ participation rate. Participation attitude was a key variable, with a partial mediating effect on participation intention. Thus, it is recommended to increase publicity and policy support, improve laws, regulations and the regulatory system, regulate market operations and enhance service quality for boosting residents' recognition and enthusiasm to participate and reducing their burden in old age.

Pragmatics of Diplomatic Speeches Delivered in UN's Security Council in 2023: systemic characteristics

The article examines the system of pragmatic intentions of diplomatic participants in their speeches during the meetings of the UN Security Council in 2023. As a result, this research contributes to a better understanding and identification of the speaker's intentions in their diplomatic speech, and participation in discussions after the main speech. It has been established that declarative and referential intentions have the highest frequency in 2023, which indicates the desire of participants in diplomatic communication to clearly state their position and reduce the ambiguity in interpretation. Directive intentions are rarely used, which is explained by diplomatic ethics. Also, it has been proposed a hierarchy of pragmatic intentions according to the universal model of open systems. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to improve communicative interactions and, as a result, to improve negotiations, making the most optimal decisions, and adopting resolutions.

Technology acceptance of the video game-based swallowing function training system among healthcare providers and dysphagia patients: A qualitative study.

Dysphagia is highly prevalent worldwide, causing serious complications. Video-game based rehabilitation training can increase dysphagia patient motivation and adherence. However, the acceptance of video game systems by patients and healthcare providers is still not fully explored. This study aimed to explore the acceptance of the video game swallowing training system among potential users. The in-depth interviews were conducted face-to-face between July and October 2023 at a rehabilitation center in China, with a sample size based on the principle of information saturation. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim, and the data were analyzed using theory-driven thematic analysis methods based on the technology acceptance model. A total of 19 participants participated in the interviews, which included 11 hospitalized dysphagia patients, three rehabilitation therapists, one doctor, and four nurses. Three themes and seven subthemes were identified. Sufficient training content, interesting interaction between the game and the rehabilitation training, intuitive page design, and efficient training modes were related to the usefulness of the system; user-friendly page design and simple interface could make it easier for participants to use the system. Overall, the availability of the video game system for use without geographical or time limitations led to a high level of participant intention to use the system, but it is still challenging to use it in the real world. The results of the study showed that participants were generally accepted and willing to use the video game system for dysphagia rehabilitation training. The video game-based swallowing function training system can be helpful in assisting with dysphagia rehabilitation.

The Effects of Message Specificity on Outcomes of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Communication: Testing Perceived Social Distance as a Mediator

Despite growing scholarly attention to what determines effective corporate social responsibility (CSR) communication, consumers’ limited awareness of and attention to CSR messages remain critical challenges for organizations. This study aims to examine the effects of message specificity on an organization’s intended outcomes of CSR communication and to explore the mediating role of perceived social distance in these relationships by applying construal level theory (CLT). We conducted an online experiment (n = 293), and the results revealed that message specificity had a positive impact on consumer-company identification, word-of-mouth intention, and CSR participation intention. Moreover, perceived social distance significantly mediated the relationships between message specificity and the outcomes of CSR communication. Applying CLT, this study offers theoretical implications for the psychological mechanism of how message specificity generates desired outcomes in CSR communication. In addition, we tested these mediation effects in the context of the geographic proximity (close vs. remote) of the CSR communication to participants; the practical implication is that reducing perceived social distance through message specificity is even more effective for geographically distant CSR campaigns.

Religious Motivation and Consumer Boycotts: Enhancing Global Peace and Moral Justice

Boycotts become a global campaign with orders not to buy certain products from one or all companies in a country. Boycotting a product brand is still voluntary, religious factors are the main driving force in carrying out a boycott to be more persistent in damaging the sales target of a product brand. So, it is necessary to carry out further research regarding the role of religion in terms of mechanisms and further stages in influencing boycott decisions. This research aims to determine the influence of the role of religion in underlying boycott participation intentions. This research methodology uses the PLS Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis tool using a sample of 385 spread evenly throughout Indonesia using a proportional sampling quota. This research aims to examine the relationship between subjective norms, attitudes and perceived control behavior in accordance with the development of boycott participation intentions. The results of this study reveal that perceived control behavior has the highest influence on intention to participate in boycotts. Keywords: Consumer Boycotts, Religious Motivation, Intention Boycotss

대학 비교과교육과정에 대한 학생 인식

This study analyzes how students who participate in non-curriculum perceive the non-curriculum, which is very important for students to develop competencies required in today’s rapidly changing social environment. Students at a university located in the metropolitan area participated in the survey questionnaire utilized in this study. Results indicate the following. First, only 16.39% of the students had participated in non-curriculum, which was not particularly high. Second, as a result of analyzing students’ perception of the need and their participation in non-curriculum, perceived need was much higher than participation in all stages and types of programs. The stages and types of non-curriculum that needed to be improved immediately were learning research projects, competitive exhibitions, and contests belonging to the experience-oriented flourishing stage. Third, compared with the students who had not participated in non-curriculum, the students who had participated in non-curriculum perceived the need of the non-curriculum much more. In addition, as a result of analyzing the actual participation of students who participated in non-curriculum compared to the future participation intent of students who did not participate, the intention to participate was lower than the actual participation. Based on the above research results, the following suggestions were made in this study. To increase students’ participation rate in non-curriculum, it is necessary to link their experience of participation in non-curriculum with scholarships or major curriculum certification systems and continue to provide education about non-curriculum to the professors. Through performance analysis and student demand survey of current non-curriculum, it is suggested to operate various programs that the students want and need, to support non-curriculum tailored to gender, grade, and college characteristics, and to expand community-linked non-curriculum.
