Development of a Balanced Liberal Arts Subject, ‘Book and Video Curation for the Growth of College Students’

The purpose of this study is to develop ‘Book and Video Curation for the Growth of College Students’ as a subject within the field of balanced liberal arts area. Students of today's generation live in a busy environment where it is not easy for them to find and read recognized classics or to see visual versions of these works on their own. They are aware of the need, but it is all too easy for such classics to be deprioritized, and it is also difficult for students to judge and gauge what a good book is as opposed to one that is a “must-read.” In this context, this study is related to developing a book-and video-based liberal arts curriculum that can help college students develop their thinking skills and their academic capabilities from a holistic perspective. To this end, from 2023 to 2024, screen-selling works, books in curation and liberal arts subjects, and video-related journals were surveyed online from various angles, focusing on Google and Riss. The collected data were summarized and reflected in related prior research, research methods, and research results. Through this study, we hope that college students will be able to have a meaningful time reading their chosen books, reconfirming the work’s message through video, and developing the wherewithal to reflect upon and put into practice what they have learned.

Opportunities And Challenges: Digital Transformation In Voluntourism

In the era of digital development, the voluntourism phenomenon has undergone significant changes along with technological transformation. Voluntourism has become a rapidly growing global phenomenon, combining travel with participation in volunteer activities to impact local communities positively. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach to gain a deeper understanding of a phenomenon that has not been well-researched before. The data collection method used in this study is literature. Literature studies will be carried out by tracking documents, such as scientific journals, articles, and documents related to voluntourism and social media related to Voluntrip. The results of the literature review show that with the development of digital, Generation Z currently prefers tourism oriented towards the local environment and authentic tourism. This is because, in addition to having high social and environmental awareness, today's generation of young people wants a memorable experience. While digital technology provides opportunities for broader collaboration and participation, its massive use also brings challenges, primarily related to the risk of commodification. Commodification practices in voluntourism can result in the objectification of local communities, negatively impacting their psychological and economic well-being.

ETHNO-CULTURAL NATURE OF NAMES RELATED TO SACRED PLACES IN SYR REGION

Any nation's unique identity, traditions, material and spiritual heritage, which have formed since ancient times, are a reflection of the life path of that nation. The heritage from ancient times is not only a simple witness of history for today's generation but also a high pillar of our modern culture. Our goal is to increase the need to study and master the material and spiritual heritage through ethnocultural analysis of the names related to sacred places, introducing onyms, previously excluded from research, into scientific discourse. To achieve this objective, it will be essential to solve the following tasks: Separation of the names related to the public and social life of people in the country into several groups; Classify the names of sacred places based on their lexical-semantic types. The methods of analysis, systematization, ethno linguistic analysis of language data, and descriptive approaches were used during the research. An overview of the works of domestic and foreign scientists of the mentioned nature was made. The need to study and promote sacred places is that they have essential historical, cultural and social-political significance. Sacred places show the depth of the roots of ethnic consciousness and the people's high spiritual level; they are also considered one of the key mechanisms of restoration and renewal of ethnic, historical, cultural and religious memory. Twelve objects along the Syr are included in the list of sacred places of Kazakhstan. They are: Shirik-Rabat town, Zhankent town, Begim Ana tower, Zhent, Syganaq town, Oqshy ata mausoleum, Qorasan ata mausoleum, Tolegetai-Qylyshty Ata mausoleum, Zhanqozha batyr mausoleum, Buqarbai batyr mausoleum, Qorqyt Ata monument complex, icon of Mother of God dedicated to the Sacred Kazan Cathedral (Sacred Kazan Cathedral Icon of God's Mother). Some places are not included in this list. Word formation and lexical-semantic analysis of the names of sacred places were made, and their features were highlighted. Although sacred places in the Syr region are studied from a historical-archaeological, literary, and ethnographic point of view, the article was based on studying them from an ethnolinguistic point of view in connection with the national values characteristic of the ethnos.

Case method in the aspect of forming the values of future lawyers

In the context of the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war, the Ukrainian education sector is facing new challenges, including, in particular, the revision of training for specialists in strategic areas, including lawyers. A developed nationally conscious civil society with strong democratic beliefs and rejection of corruption, which puts the interests of the state at the forefront, is the ideal that today's generation of higher education students should embody. With this in mind, educational practices should be revised, primarily in terms of forming a system of values, as well as maximizing the actualization of learning. We consider the case method to be one of the effective tools that meets these important tasks. The purpose of the study is to comprehend the experience of using the case method with a view to forming the values of future lawyers and is realized through such tasks as studying the educational practices of using the case method, considering examples of the use of the case method in teaching future lawyers, and finding out the impact of the case method on the formation of the values of respect for the law and the inadmissibility of corruption in future lawyers. The examples of case studies, discussed in the article, are devoted to a specific topic – exposing cases of corruption in the higher education system of Ukraine. The author formulates the requirements for the content of cases and the sequence of work with them, which provides for a gradual increase in the degree of independence of students. It is proved that the case method contributes to the formation of such important values for future lawyers as respect for the law and the inadmissibility of corruption. The development of a mature civil society in post-war Ukraine, to which today's students will be involved, depends on the formation of these values. Prospects for further research are seen in the study of the use of the case method to analyze situations related to academic dishonesty

DESIGN OF THE ANIMATED FILM SRI TANJUNG THROUGH THE PANATARAN TEMPLE RELIEF TRANSFER

Research was conducted to create animation as a vehicle for the relief of Sri Tanjung in Panataran Temple as an education of cultural insight of the archipelago. The development of technology has brought changes in various aspects, one of which is education and entertainment (edutainment) media. Temple reliefs, which are one of the cultures of Indonesian literature, are starting to be less attractive to the younger generation now, especially the onslaught of foreign cultures that enter Indonesia. Preservation efforts need to be made because the temple reliefs contain local wisdom of Nusantara culture, which contains moral values that are beneficial to today's generation. By transforming the reliefs of Sri Tanjung stories in Panataran Temple into animated form, it is hoped that literacy through technological adaptation and education of Nusantara cultural insights is expected to be disseminated to the younger generation. The method of creation and presentation is carried out through stages: (1) exploration of ideas and ideas for the creation of Sri Tanjung animation creations; (2) model design to find animation designs through the outsourcing approach; and (3) the presentation of animated films to facilitate the delivery of educational messages of Nusantara cultural insights for today's generation. The results of the research are expected to be through the transfer of vehicles and technology adaptation, namely animation, the younger generation will have a reference to the extraordinarily rich cultural insights of the archipelago. So that a sense of national nationalism grows and is aware of the cultural richness of one's own nation.

Ionic liquid fluoropolymer membranes for the separation of R-410A: Understanding the effect of ionic liquid on membrane characteristics and separation performance

Environmental legislation such as the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act will phase out today's generation of high-global warming hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants over the next two decades. Energy-efficient technologies are needed to separate these often azeotropic and complex mixtures. Membrane technology and extractive distillation with ionic liquids as entrainers have been individually developed for the separation of azeotropic refrigerant mixtures. This study provides details for the separation of R-410A through combining the benefits of glassy, amorphous polymers with ionic liquids to form ionic liquid polymer membranes. Two different classes of ionic liquid polymer membranes are considered: polyvinyl acetate composite membranes with 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate, and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, and Hyflon AD 60 with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(pentafluoroethylsulfonyl)imide. The membranes are characterized with FTIR, helium pycnometry, differential scanning calorimetry, and a high-pressure view-cell to characterize the effect of ionic liquid on polymer properties. The Hyflon AD 60 composite membranes were evaluated for the separation of R-410A through pure-gas permeability, selectivity, solubility, and diffusivity measurements, which show exceptional selectivity for separation of R-410A. Results provide insights on the effect of ionic liquid on the separation of R-410A and indicate that improved separation performance of glassy polymers can be achieved with the addition of ionic liquid.

Helping Hands for Handicaps

Abstract: We have more advanced wheelchairs in today's generation. it includes joystick wheelchair, head motion control wheelchair, gesture control wheelchair etc. But with the advance technology it is expensive too, which is not affordable for most of the middle-class families. In order to provide an advanced wheelchair in an affordable price, we have to use less components to reduce the cost so that a person can buy it with a price less than the today’s basic bikes price. To achieve this, we used some basic electronic components such as Arduino MINI and NANO, gyro sensor, Node MCU, Motors etc. To get extra security we integrated some calling and GPS location features too. The person sitting in the wheelchair can control the wheelchair through hand gestures. Additionally, whenever the person sitting in the wheelchair faces any problem, such as if the wheelchair falls, the caretaker will receive a notification and through the GPS location, the caretaker will be able to reach their location.

ENCOURAGING PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOUR: THE FUNCTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONNECTEDNESS, ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS, & ENVIRONMENTAL KNOWLEDGE

The environment is essential in determining the well-being and quality of human life. The rapid development of human civilization causes humans to depend highly on the world of science and technology. Unfortunately, this speed causes people to become complacent in carrying out their responsibility to protect the environment. The effects of these activities have begun to be felt by today's generation. Despite a strong consensus about human environmental responsibility, many people fail to behave in line with their pro-environmental behaviour. This study examines the interrelationship between environmental connectedness, ethics, knowledge, and pro-environmental behaviour. The quantitative survey method and convenience sampling collected data from the Malaysian public. The final valid data of 247 respondents were analysed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis conducted within SPSS. The regression results showed that environmental connectedness, ethics, and knowledge significantly influenced pro-environmental behaviour. These results indicate that citizens who are emotionally attached to the environment, ethically value the environment, and are highly knowledgeable on how to preserve and conserve the environment will help guarantee a comfortable life. Several theoretical and practical implications are also highlighted in this paper.

Investigating EFL Teacher's Strategies and Challenges in Promoting Students' High Order Thinking Skills

Critical thinking is essential to be acquired by today's generation specifically since it is one of the skills in the 21st-century skills. Considering its importance, developing students' high-order thinking skills has become a requirement for teachers, specifically in their language learning. This study investigates an EFL teacher's strategies in promoting students' high-order thinking skills and the challenges they face in implementing it. A case study was conducted involving one junior high school teacher in Jember. The interview and classroom observation were conducted to collect the data. The data was analyzed by classifying the strategy used by the teacher using Hennessy et al.'s Scheme for Educational Dialogue Analysis and specifying the challenges faced by them through an interview. The findings of this study indicated that most strategies used by the teacher were to invite elaboration or reasoning. The challenge encountered by the teacher was the difficulties in teaching HOTS for low achiever students, difficulties in managing passive students in the classroom, and difficulties in constructing HOTS strategy in some skills in English. Therefore, more strategies to actively engage student participation in the classroom and good classroom management are needed to extend students’ high-order thinking skills.

Metonymy, the Origins of Expression and the Trends of Contrast

This paper is concerned with metonymy in the rhetorical works of the ancient Arabs, and what is meant by it according to the context of pronunciation and reception with the stylistic and pragmatic concepts, and inferring them from imagination, methodology, and indication, linking that to time, reality and pattern of thinking; however, the problem that we raise in this research is the extent to which today's generations are able to understand this books, and is it something that benefits the learners and matches their era, or is it for them a burden that they have no ability to understand or interpret? A problem that we address from two dimensions: the first is cognitive and referential, the second is methodological in the relationship of transmission with the mind, and codification with thinking and management; difficulties in learning and teaching did not go beyond the circle of speakers of their own language, so how about speakers of another language? We have limited our discussion of the issue to its first level, and we wanted to explain part of it in two aspects: the first is educational related to curricula and methods of approximating knowledge, the second is social and psychological that makes language a tool and not an end, but at the same time it does not negate its originality and specificity.
