Implementation strategies of STEM education in cultivating graduate students' learning ability in Chinese higher education

This paper explores the tailored implementation strategies of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education in nurturing graduate students' learning abilities within the context of Chinese higher education. The role of STEM education has been globally acknowledged, but its implementation at the graduate level encounters unique challenges requiring specific strategies. The paper discusses the distinct characteristics of graduate STEM education, contrasts them with general STEM education, and provides a thorough analysis of five key strategies: designing appropriate projects, enhancing teacher competence, providing scaffolded instruction, transforming evaluation methods, and creating a conducive learning environment. Each strategy is elucidated with concrete examples and references to existing scholarly viewpoints. The analysis presented in this paper contributes to the understanding of how to optimize STEM education in graduate programs and aims to serve as a beneficial reference for educators, policymakers, and researchers alike.

The Information as a Source of Power and a Cause of Conflict Discourse Occurrence

Key words: post-industrial society, control, information flows, conflict, ontological transformations, knowledge This article discusses one of the main reasons for the emergence of the conflict discourse in modern reality. Power or a desire to establish power have been the main causes of conflict at every stage of the development of society. The first part of the article provides a brief overview of the basic concepts of establishing power. Besides, it also undertakes a philosophical and historical analysis of the approaches, viewpoints of thinkers and scholars, in which this issue is highlighted in details. Thereafter, the period of post-industrial society along with its features, manifested in the socio-economic and political spheres, is discussed. The old forms of acquiring power, i.e. wealth and money, are not actual any more, and now the time has come for knowledge and information. However, the so-called consumer thinking, characteristic of the postmodern stage, gradually makes people live easier and more meaningless. An ontological transformation is taking place: the interest and importance attributed to knowledge is gradually decreasing, since it requires more and more mental concentration and time resources from a person, which s/he is no longer predisposed to provide. Instead, the internet provides access to the excessive amount of information with no special efforts to acquire. At the end of the second part of the article, it has been concluded that a modern conception of power has emerged in the new world order. In the context of a clear exaggeration of the role and importance of information, it is mostly considered a source of power. Establishing control over information is perceived as equivalent to the possession of power. And since the struggle for power has always been assumed as the emergence of various conflicts, it turns out that in the modern world, conflicts arise and develop precisely due to information overload. In terms of the prevalence of social networks and the constant access of people to the often unverified and scientifically unproven information flows, is considered reliable and quite acceptable, just because it is simply talked and written about too much.

Islandness in human rights, human rights in islandness: Missing voices

Island Studies literature has rarely engaged with human rights law to scrutinise how the development of human rights standards and/or their (in)efficient implementation on islands contour the lives of islanders and islandness itself. Along similar lines, human rights research and practice do not systematically take into account islandness and Island Studies research. The present article explores the mutual reticence between human rights law and Island Studies, suggesting, though, that both fields can offer each other important opportunities for development. It advocates, in particular, that it is high time for a cohesive human rights and islands approach which is based on the human rights-based approach of islandness and the islandness-based approach in human rights. A potential cross-fertilisation between human rights law and Island Studies can be very promising not only for the advancement of the respective fields from a scholarly point of view, but also for a more efficient understanding of islandness and protection of human rights in practice.

Cognitive Integration in Building legal Materials for Islamic high Schools And its Relationship to the Scientific Development of Students from the Viewpoint of Educational Scholars


 
 
 
 The study aimed to present an idea to those in charge of the educational process, especially those concerned with the instructional curricula in Islamic high schools - that includes reformulating the curriculum according to the cognitive integration of both horizontal and vertical types, which most educational institutions in advanced countries have approached in terms of education.
 The study demonstrated the distinction of integrative curricula over traditionalism by tracing the views of a group of specialists in educational sciences based on their experiences, and by submitting a questionnaire to a number of educational scientists that included questions through which the world is asked to express its opinion on the comparison between the integrative approach and the traditional approach in terms of:
 Objectives , fields of education, the role of knowledge, the content of the curriculum, teaching methods, the role of the teacher, the role of the learner, sources of education, individual differences, the role of evaluation, the school’s relationship with the environment and the family, and the nature of the curriculum.
 
 
 

A Social Sciences and Humanities research agenda for transport and mobility in Europe: key themes and 100 research questions

ABSTRACT Transport and mobility systems need to be transformed to meet climate change goals and reduce negative environmental and social effects. Despite EU policies having targeted such problems for more than three decades, transitions have been slow and geographically uneven. For effective change to happen, transport and mobility research needs fresh perspectives and better integration of knowledge from the Social Sciences and Humanities. Based on a Horizon Scanning approach, which allowed for a great deal of openness and variety in scholarly viewpoints, this paper presents a novel research agenda consisting of 8 themes and 100 research questions that may contribute to achieving environmentally sustainable mobility transitions within Europe. This research agenda highlights the need to not only support technological solutions for low-carbon mobility, but the importance of transformative policies that include new processes of knowledge production, civic participation and epistemic justice. We contend that the agenda points to the need for further research on the dynamics of science-society interactions.

Music in Cinema: Concerning the Question of the Internal Form of the Film Text in the Aspect of Emotiveness

The focus of the article is emotiveness, which in the research work of Viktor Shakhovsky and Polina Volkova has acquired the status of a universal methodology relevant for both verbal (poetry and literature) and non-verbal discourses (painting and music). Turning to synthetic works in the domain of cinematography, the authors analyze the films of Alexander Lapshin (Dialogue with Continuation) and Kira Muratova (Three Stories. The Second Story). From a new scholarly point of view, examination is made of the musical accompaniments to the designated films, represented by the musical compositions of Bach — Gounod (Ave Maria) and Vasily Agapkin (the march Farewell of Slavyanka). It is the music that determines the turn to the inner form of artistic expression, acting as the emotive potential of the semantics of the film text. It is emphasized that the indicated emotive potential determines both the ethical and aesthetic essence of the verbal sign and its emotional richness, awakening the formation of spiritual energy. The indicated attitudes demonstrate the prospects for the interaction of linguistics and musicology, creating precedents for working with such forms that require active participation from the communicants of artistic expression. As a result, the category of emotivity, developed in a field different from linguistics, acquires new characteristics. Ensuring its viability, emotivity demonstrates the obvious priority of the human factor in the era of digitalization and artificial intelligence.

Clusters as ecosystems: current trends and challenges, areas for prospective development of clusters in the agro-industrial complex

An integrated approach is applied in the study to define the concept of ecosystems and features of their development in current conditions. Three groups of ecosystems are identified and a number of their types are defined, including industrial, agro-industrial, agrarian, entrepreneurial, social, innovative, national, university, regional, corporate, sectoral and business systems. The understanding of clusters as a transitional form of ecosystems is grounded, the author’s classification of them is proposed. The concept of a cluster is connected, first of all, with the phenomenon of spatial economy, therefore, the essential characteristics of spatial economy are defined in the paper. The systematization of the viewpoints of various scholars is presented along with the author’s approach to the classification of clusters according to different criteria. The problematic field of creation and development of innovative clusters in the field of agriculture is presented. The list of participants of innovative clusters in the agro-industrial complex and the system of relations between them in various functional areas are studied, and also promising trends in terms of digital economy are substantiated.

حقوق الملكية الفكرية (قراءة في أحكام الشريعة ومواثيق وإتفاقيات دولية وقوانين ومراسيم باكستان)

Islam recognizes the notion of personal rights of the individuals including the right of ownership, possession and property. Islam also identifies the individual’s rights to function individualistically. Therefore the efforts made for promoting intellectual rights can be considered a legitimate and recognized personal right. The notion of intellectual property is not unfamiliar to the Islamic regulation of property but it is an essential portion of it. Wide-ranging doctrines derived from the foundations of Islamic law and defined by Muslim jurists have directly protected it as a legal property. Intellectual property rights are indispensable to human creativity. Many laws have been enacted to protect intellectual property rights by creating awareness among the individuals about the intellectual property rights at national and international level. This research presents various viewpoints of Islamic scholars on intellectual property rights by highlighting the extent of these intellectual property rights. It also explores the endeavors being made at national and international level to raise awareness about various intellectual property rights including trademark, copyright and patent, which facilitate innovators to acquire acknowledgment or monetary advantages from their innovations. The basic aim of this research is to portrait a general idea of the endeavors made by numerous international organizations, countries and bodies including World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), Paris Convention, Protection Industrial Property, Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and World Trade Organization (WTO) for protecting the intellectual property rights. This study also explores the efforts made by Pakistan to enact laws for intellectual property rights by issuing various ordinances including Patents Ordinance 2000, Trade Marks Ordinance, 2001, Copyright Ordinance 1962. The Intellectual Property Organization-IPO was also as an autonomous body in 2005 under the administrative control of the Cabinet Division for integrated and efficient intellectual property management in Pakistan. Results, recommendations are presented at the end.

Live Feedback for Training Through Real-Time Data Visualizations: A Study with League of Legends

With competitive gaming on the rise, players have developed an increased interest in data-driven feedback of their in-game performance. In many cases, this feedback is presented visually post-play but live companions that provide real-time analytics are gaining more and more attention. However, the design of such systems poses different requirements which have been little explored from a scholarly point of view. In this paper, we report on a study of two visualizations - a physical and digital one - providing live feedback to League of Legends players designed based on a community survey (N= 175) and expert input. We further discuss results of a qualitative evaluation with 13 players and an expert, touch upon potential benefits and drawbacks of physical and digital implementations, and present derived design considerations and challenges for such real-time data visualizations, revolving around issues of information density, contextualization, representation, and a diverse range of user needs.

From Green Deal to Cultural Heritage: FAIR Digital Objects and European Common Data Spaces

From Green Deal to Cultural Heritage: FAIR Digital Objects and European Common Data Spaces

Furûk Eserlerinde Gösterge Türleri

Peirce (1839-1914), systematically classifies sign types according to the categories of being. He argues that abstract concepts can reach their clear meanings only when they are examined as signs and proposes a unique understanding method that reveals the difference of abstract concepts from other words. In this respect, a connection can be established between Peirce's semiotics and the science of furûq, which examines the meaning differences of closely related words. In Peirce semiotics, classification of the signs, which is the agent of the act of representation, as an independent phenomenon is important in terms of presenting a systematic model. In this context, the viewpoint of Islamic scholars on sign can be followed, based on the differences in meaning between the concepts that have the meaning of representation in the works of furûq. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to find and classify the signs mentioned in furûq. Accordingly, in the first part, the relationship between the furûq and semiotics is mentioned and Peirce's sign types are explained in terms of being a model. In the second part, based on the semantic differences between the words that have the meaning of representation, the signs mentioned by Islamic scholars are classified.

Playing the Dignity Roulette: Deciphering Academic Dignity from the Perspective of Doctoral Scholars

The publish or perish culture is a reality that management scholars deal with every day. It is a means of gaining legitimacy for the business schools while providing an objective approach to measure the performance of the scholars. At the same time, it paves the way for excessive competition, sham authorships, questionable research practices. While the literature on the implications of this culture is quite voluminous, it is primarily based on the experiences of seasoned academicians. So, in this study, we look at this culture from the viewpoint of doctoral scholars, specifically those pursuing their doctorate in a non-Western context. Our findings illustrate that the publish or perish culture subjects these scholars to a never-ending dignity struggle. They lose their dignity as they get dehumanized as machines for publications and stigmatized for their location and being non-native English speakers. These scholars internalize their inferior position and resort to internal divisions to recuperate their lost dignity. In sum, we propose that the publish or perish culture leads to the commoditization of dignity.

Showcase Festivals: Gatekeepers and Bridge Builders in the Music Industries

Abstract Showcase festivals are industry events comprising artist showcases and conferences. It may be argued that showcase festivals are an understudied offline field, since their role in configuring and maintaining a festival-like arena and providing a meeting place for the music industries remains largely unexplored from a scholarly point of view, as well as underappreciated and underestimated within the mainstream academic community. Their purpose is to present artists hoping to attract the attention of the core audience: industry professionals looking for new talent to sign and represent. The article provides an empirical study of the Nordic showcase festival by:Larm using theories of gatekeeping, fields and capital.

On the Criminalistic Classification of Criminal Proceedings Participants

The article is devoted to the criminalistic significance of different participants of criminal proceedings. It is stated that the classifications used in criminalistics are based on the criminal procedure criterion, or on the form of using forensically relevant information. The author analyzes viewpoints of scholars of criminalistics and criminal process on the classification of criminal court proceedings’ participants and identifies controversial aspects that give rise to doubts. The author also presents her own classification of criminal proceedings’ participants depending on the form of activity whose object is forensically relevant information, as well as the type, volume and degree to which this forensically relevant information is formed. It is suggested that two key classification groups should be singled out — subjects of forensically relevant information (the suspect, the accused, the witness, the victim) and subjects of criminalistic knowledge (the investigator, the detective, the operative worker, the expert, the specialist).

Raised on the Third Day: Defending the Historicity of the Resurrection of Jesus ed. by W. David Beck and Michael R. Licona

Reviewed by: Raised on the Third Day: Defending the Historicity of the Resurrection of Jesus ed. by W. David Beck and Michael R. Licona Glenn B. Siniscalchi w. david beck and michael r. licona (eds.), Raised on the Third Day: Defending the Historicity of the Resurrection of Jesus (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2020). Pp. xvi + 343. $26.99. This book is collection of essays that concentrate on philosophical and theological themes that celebrate and enhance the work of the evangelical scholar Gary R. Habermas. Although the book is titled Raised on the Third Day: Defending the Historicity of the Resurrection of Jesus, there are several essays in the volume that have very little to do with the subject. At any rate, the book does an excellent job highlighting some of the newer challenges related to the historical approach to the resurrection. More importantly, it brings the reader up-to-date with some excellent responses in defense of the probability that Jesus was raised bodily from the dead. Although most of the contributors are evangelical scholars, the book should be consulted by biblical scholars and fundamental theologians who are dedicated to the study of Christian origins, especially as it relates to the plausibility of early Christian belief in the Resurrection. Following the introduction by the editors, the collection offers eighteen contributions: "On Habermas's Minimal Facts Argument," by Robert B. Stewart; "The Soul and Near-Death Experiences: A Case for Substance Dualism," by J. P. Moreland; "The Image on the Shroud: A Best Explanations Approach," by Mark W. Foreman; "The Uniqueness of Christianity [End Page 534] in a World of Religions," by Craig J. Hazen; "John Rawls's Political Liberalism and the Problem of Taking Rites Seriously: From Abortion to Same-Sex Wedding Cakes," by Francis J. Beckwith; "On the Organic Connection between Jesus' Atoning Death and Resurrection," by William Lane Craig; "The Moral Argument and the Minimal Facts," by David Baggett; "The Logical Structure of Moral Arguments," by Beck; "The Testimony of Josephus and the Burial of Jesus," by Craig A. Evans; "Near-Death Experiences and Christian Theology," by Dale C. Allison Jr.; "The Deaths of the Apostles and Belief in Jesus' Resurrection," by Sean McDowell; "The History and Current State of Modern Shroud Research," by Barrie M. Schwortz; "Racing toward the Tomb: Purity and Sacrifice in the Fourth Gospel," by Beth M. Sheppard; "A Note on Women as Witnesses and the Empty Tomb Resurrection Accounts," by Darrell L. Bock; "Historical Epistemology and Divine Action," by Benjamin C. F. Shaw; "The Primacy of Paul in Discussions on Jesus' Resurrection," by Licona; "What Aspiring (and Veteran) Apologists May Learn from Gary Habermas," by Alex McFarland; and "What Everyone Should Learn from Gary Habermas," by Frank Turek. One of Habermas's contributions to Christian origins is his long-standing work that catalogues different scholarly viewpoints on the subject of the resurrection of Jesus. Habermas has surveyed the various positions in order to determine what the consensus is on selected aspects of the field. Utilizing the current consensus, Habermas is well known as the originator of the "minimal facts case." In this approach, historical arguments are marshaled in support of early events surrounding the emergence of Easter faith (e.g., the conversion of St. Paul, the empty tomb, and the postmortem appearances of Jesus), that allow one to report confidently where the majority of scholars—regardless of their religious affiliation or approach—stand with respect to the purported facts. In the words of Stewart: "The minimal facts method is thus a means of contextualization. In particular, in an academic guild in which skepticism is the default mode, Christian scholars are working in an environment where many, if not the majority, are predisposed to dismiss all but the most uncontroversial of claims. In this context, arguing from minimal facts is often how one must begin" (p. 13). The book covers a great deal of terrain, including two chapters on the Shroud of Turin (Foreman; Schwortz), and another pair on near-death experiences (Moreland; Allison). These are hotly debated topics that Habermas has previously dealt with in his published work. Of the remaining essays, I benefited greatly from McDowell's nuanced argument on the apostles...

Muslims in Koh Yao Noi: Different Perspectives on Tombs (Qubur)

This article is part of the study entitled with an aim to study the meaning creation of the history and background of the Muslims in Koh Yao Noi. Research papers and the field using techniques. The research method in ethnographic cultural anthropology for 6 months was based on five data collection processes. Documentary Research, Informal Interview, In-depth Interview, Participant Observation, and Focus Group, analytic induction was used and the analysis was done by typological analysis. The results of the study of the tomb guard rites revealed that the rituals evolved from gift the reward of good deeds to the deceased person, not Tawassul. The tombs guard rites as a consequence of the controversy over the dedication of merits to the dead. The Salafi group considers unable to act. Because there is no evidence from the text to support and adhere to the viewpoint of the ancestor's scholars (Salaf). The Sufi group from the Santisuk Pondok Institute and most villagers think that able to do. Because of deductive reasoning (Qiyas), It’s considered the tradition of the ancestors, and it is adhering to the resolutions of later scholars (Khalaf). However, despite differing opinions, this did not lead to serious conflicts. because both groups still maintain their identity each party tries to avoid mentioning such issues.

On the Concept of Big Data Evidence and Its Evidence Attributes

As an emerging type of evidence, big data evidence already has an application basis in judicial practice. In order to clarify whether big data has an evidence base and the type of evidence that big data belongs to, starting from the concept of big data evidence,This paper combined the concept of big data evidence based on the viewpoints of many scholars, analyzes whether big data evidence has evidence attributes, clarifies the evidence attribute basis of big data evidence, and determines that big data evidence does not belong to the eight one of the types of evidence, but a new type of evidence.

Do you trust me? Rigor and Information Power in Qualitative Research

Qualitative researchers employ a variety of strategies to demonstrate the legitimacy of their work from the viewpoint of positivist scholars. While the traditional concepts of validity and reliability cannot be addressed the same way in qualitative as they are in quantitative research, qualitative researchers have established frameworks to ensure the rigor of qualitative work. In this talk, the qualitative trustworthiness criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability will be compared to their positivist counterparts of validity, generalizability, reliability, and objectivity, respectively. An additional threat to the legitimacy and perceived rigor of qualitative research is that many studies can have a small sample size. The concept of information power has been used in contrast to the quantitative sample size appropriation of power calculations and has recently been promoted as an alternative to saturation which is fundamentally a positivistic concept. This talk will provide practical advice for demonstrating the trustworthiness and rigor of qualitative research while maintaining the theoretical underpinning that drive qualitative studies in anatomy education.

Reluctant to be Educational Leader

Our study investigates the leaders’ challenges looked at by current educational organizations. Universally, the requirement for top-notch academic administration has never been more noteworthy. However, developing proof recommends that hardly any academics are quick to lock-in. In this study, we explore scholastic educational leadership at the principal of a school from organizational and scholarly viewpoints. Our objectives are to explain early job academic approaches and positions towards scholastic educational leadership, what may lie behind these, and make proposals about how to support their future enthusiasm for scholastic educational leadership. A privately respondent included, which was the principal of a school in Malaysia. The information was gathered from interview questions and utilizing meeting strategies dependent on semi-structured questions. Meeting information was dissected through a precise coding procedure to discover themes. In view of the examination of these topics, the most noteworthy subjects that developed reliably are hierarchical culture measurement, trailed by vision, strategic, authoritative objectives measurement, trailed by a common duty measurement, and the least is the element of reluctant leadership practices. The school vision, crucial, objectives were shared among individuals in the arranging and performance of exercises. Be that as it may, as a type of leader dependent on shared exercises, there are still spaces for improvements, for example, common belief, familiarity, and input of duties. Overall, our small research gives clear to the developing collection of speculations and procedures researching advanced education culture. While the contextual analysis discoveries may not be generalizable, different organizations may profit by a portion of the bits of knowledge give.

The Road and Belt Initiative in Malaysia: Challenges and Recommendations

ABSTRACT In recent years, China has expanded its relations with other nations through the Belt and Road Initiative. This initiative was formally introduced after it was launched in 2013 by President Xi Jinping. It comprises two components, namely, the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Initiative, both of which aim to stimulate the acceleration of economic growth in Asia, Africa and Europe. This research attempts to provide a detailed review of the execution of this initiative through empirical studies based on qualitative analysis, which are closely related to BRI implementation in Malaysia. The focus of this research, however, is not limited to studying the viewpoints of leaders and scholars on the initiative; rather, it will also attempt to discuss theBRI’s progress and the obstacles encountered to date from the political aspects of both China and Malaysia. By identifying the potential challenges to come, this research will prove to be significant, as it proposes some comprehensive measures to address and forestall any setbacks that may arise, which may affect the implementation of the BRI between the two nations.
