This article identifies, describes, and compares a number of common source domains in Vietnamese and American English political discourses, with the aim of clarifying how politicians select source domains. In doing so, it affirms that through source–target mappings, abstract concepts and messages in political discourses are made concrete and more accessible to the public. A […]
Ensuring the safety and well-being of children in kindergartens requires continuous monitoring of their interactions with caregivers and the surrounding environment, as even short periods of inattentiveness can lead to accidents or unnoticed risky behavior. In this work, we present a computer-vision–based monitoring system that uses an improved YOLO-11 object detection model to localize and […]
This study examines the effects of profitability, liquidity, company size, price-to-book value, and leverage on stock returns of companies in the Miscellaneous Industry Sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2022–2024 period, grounded in signalling theory. The study employed a quantitative approach using purposive sampling, selecting 40 companies with a total of 120 […]
The globally increase of streaming media has changed not only the circulation of animation but also the structures through which this media content is categorized and controlled. This research critically studies the semiotic boundaries of age classification contexts practical to animated content on platforms like Netflix, arguing that existing age rating is rely unreasonably on […]
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) bring together physical processes with computing, communication, and control. They often operate in environments full of uncertainty, noise, and constant change, which makes traditional deterministic models struggle to capture how these systems really behave. This work introduces a more flexible framework based on Markov processes that helps model, predict, and control CPS […]
Germanium is a critical technology metal used in fiber optics, infrared optics, photovoltaics, semiconductors, and emerging energy systems. Despite its strategic importance, primary germanium resources are limited, and global production remains heavily dependent on by-product recovery from zinc processing, coal fly ash, and copper-related residues. This review critically examines the occurrence, mineralogy, and distribution of […]
This study investigates the influence of sustainable marketing activities on brand image, customer involvement, and sustainable purchase intention within the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector in England, while examining gender as a moderating variable. Grounded in Signaling Theory and the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the research adopts a positivist philosophical stance and a quantitative, deductive […]
The rapid expansion of digital interfaces has positioned visual communication design as a central force in shaping user behavior through increasingly sophisticated forms of visual persuasion. Contemporary interfaces did not merely present information but actively structure choices through visual hierarchy, interaction flows, and algorithmic mediation, raising critical ethical concerns. The existing body of research remained […]
This research examines expressive illocutionary acts found in the comment section of Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License” music video on YouTube. It aims to identify the types and functions of expressive acts using Searle and Vanderveken’s (1985) classification and Leech’s (1983) framework. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data consisting of 60 selected comments obtained […]
This paper explored senior high school learners’ level of self-efficacy and level of engagement in science when classes were transitioned to alternative delivery modality due to impending natural phenomenon. Acknowledging the critical importance of science education as a lever with which to develop scientific literate, empowered citizens, the study probed how learners’ confidence and engagement […]
