Author Name :: Aria Arman Mehr || Sahar Askarzadeh
Country :: Iran
Page Number :: 46-64
This research aims to explore and compare physical and digital theater, focusing on three key areas: acting, aesthetics, and audience engagement. Physical theater, emphasizing the live presence of actors and direct sensory interactions with the audience, is contrasted with digital theater, which utilizes cutting-edge technologies such as extended reality to expand narrative boundaries and create innovative virtual spaces. Employing a qualitative methodology and an extensive literature review, this study examines the technical and aesthetic differences between these two theatrical forms and identifies new potentials for their integration within Hybrid Theater. Findings indicate that physical theater, emphasizing direct and immediate interaction, and digital theater, utilizing interactive technological tools, can be synergistically combined to create a comprehensive and innovative experience for audiences under the umbrella of Hybrid Theater. The research proposes hybrid performances for future productions, aiming to create new forms and enrich artistic expression.

Paper Title :: The Influence of the School Curriculum on Citizenship Training
A Influência do Currículo Escolar na Formação Cidadã
Author Name :: Kathia Susana Almeida
Country :: Brasil
Page Number :: 72-82
The school curriculum plays a fundamental role in the civic education of students, directly influencing their social competencies and values. Through formal education, the curriculum contributes to the development of critical, reflective, and participatory skills necessary for conscious societal engagement. Civic education involves not only theoretical knowledge but also the construction of practices and attitudes that promote democratic coexistence and respect for diversity. Thus, education focused on citizenship must consider cultural, ethical, and political aspects, promoting active student engagement. The general objective of this article is to analyze how the school curriculum contributes to the civic education of students. The specific objectives are: - to identify pedagogical practices in the curriculum that foster citizenship; - to verify the presence of content that encourages critical thinking and social participation; - to evaluate the importance of interdisciplinarity in building civic education. The research problem that guides this study is: How does the school curriculum contribute to the civic education of students? The methodology used was bibliographic, based on a literature review of works addressing the relationship between the school curriculum and citizenship. The results indicate that a curriculum integrating democratic principles, social values, and practices of mutual respect fosters the development of critical and participatory citizens. The discussion reinforces the need for an interdisciplinary approach that embraces diversity and the multiple realities of students. It is concluded that the school curriculum should be constantly reviewed and adapted to meet social demands and shape individuals capable of acting ethically and responsibly in society, fully exercising their rights and duties as citizens.

Bangkok's burgeoning health-conscious demographic necessitates convenient access to healthy food options. Online channels present a viable solution; however, a thorough understanding of consumer behavior within this domain is paramount.The aim was to elucidate the factors influencing Bangkok consumers' online healthy food purchasing decisions. This study conducted interviews using a qualitative approach to examine the impact of five key factors on consumer behavior: product quality, price, information transparency (including detailed descriptions and certifications), delivery service efficiency (both speed and reliability), and the influence of online reviews on trust and online purchase decisions in Bangkok.Unveiling these consumer preferences could provide valuable insights for online healthy food businesses in Bangkok. By strategically addressing factors such as product quality, pricing strategies, information transparency, delivery efficiency optimization, and leveraging the power of online reviews, businesses can enhance their online presence, optimize the customer experience, and potentially achieve significant sales growth.The factors that influence purchasing decisions in Bangkok include quality, price, information, service, and the availability of online platforms for health food products.

This paper explores setting and racism in Paul Beatty‘s The Sellout. The novel is set in the fictional town of Dickens in Los Angeles and features the character Bonbon, also called ―Me,‖ a young man whose life and experiences drive the novel. The police killed Bonbon‘s father, and Bonbon had to navigate life in that hostile environment that privileges the whites. Although a black man, Bonbon reintroduced racism and slavery in the town and was charged to court and sent to jail. Despite being aware of the consequences of his action, Bonbon was set to prove a point in this racially charged, intense, satirized novel.

Paper Title :: Journey Motif in African Female Writing: A Postmodernist Interrogation of Chimamanda Adichie’s Americanah
Author Name :: Dr. Ugochukwu Ogechi Iwuji || Dr. Emmanuel E. Akanwa
Country :: Nigeria
Page Number :: 93-99
The postmodernist poetics as projected and espoused in Adichie‘s novels is both alienating and enchanting. On the one hand, it negates the ―transcendental signified‖ of the African female writing while on the other, it opens up wide vistas for African women to radically break with the orthodoxy of building the home with an indifferent, deceitful and violent partner. The story of Ifemelu, Adichie‘s heroine in Americanah, provokes flurries of thoughts and twists on how a young lady conquers a morass of socio-economic strictures to reclaim the love of a lover she had earlier abandoned and left to the fate of depression and anguish. There have been critical commentaries on Adichie‘s Americanah, but there seems to be little or no work on the stylistic import of journey motif in the novel and how it implicates the various themes of the novel bordering on love, politics, family and culture. The plot of Adichie‘s Americanah is in itself postmodernist and non-comformist. Events are so re-arranged and scattered in the 477 page novel. The complicated nature of the plot may make a stylistic appraisal of the work precarious. This paper is relevant in representing the fluidity of the story for a seamless critique. Remarkably, the study shows how the motif of journey implicates the themes of the novel and amplifies the story structure. Prominent in the novel are the six journeys around which the major events in the story revolve.

The main objective was to identify the variation in average customer satisfaction proportionally to the average quality of the Internet service. The population consisted of 100 Orange Internet service customers. Likewise, the variables were used: Internet service quality and customer satisfaction. The non-experimental design of a correlation level was used, developed in the application of surveys, which provided results on the variation between the variables. The survey ended with a result of 0.77, which indicates that there is a positive proportional variation between the two variables. In addition, it is at a high correlation level; and, analyzing the bilateral significance level of 0.000 less than 0.05, it is concluded that the average quality of the Internet service varies proportionally to the average customer satisfaction.

Paper Title :: Literary Allusion as Archaeology in The Descent of Alette: How Alice Notley Achieves Feminine Actualisation through Revival of Sumerian literature
Author Name :: Luke Ang
Country :: Singapore
Page Number :: 107-112
"Words are not it" (Notley, "The Poetics of Disobedience").
If words are signs, as the founder of structural linguistics Ferdinand de Saussure suggests (Saussure), then poets are arbiters of language, using words to communicate what is beyond the mundane and ostensible, instilling in them new wealths of meaning in the process. Yet Alice Notley, one of the most important poets of the twentieth century, not only renounces words, but regards them as such anathema that the very foundation of her ethos and poetic lexis is built upon her rejection of the idea of a ‗word‘ as we know it. Throughout her body of work, Notley maintains her position as simultaneously being a prolific user of language and yet one of its greatest critics, most powerfully conveyed in these lines from her Poetics of Disobedience: "Positions are just words. I don't believe that the best poems are just words, I think they're the same as reality; I tend to think reality is poetry, and that it isn't words" ("The Poetics of Disobedience"); reminiscent of Saussure, who first proposed that sounds and symbols in isolation are arbitrary and not intrinsically meaningful, but only become so when socially codified according to unified terms, such that language must exist within a collective (Saussure). Notley, however, emphasises upon this arbitrariness of words — hence "positions" — and to her, words are merely utilitarian hangovers, and should not have any place in the realm of poetry. Throughout Disobedience, Notley draws a clear line in the sand between what she refers to as "the named Actual", "the supposedly real city/world", "an organised affair", and "doctrine", versus that which is named "the real real" and "the ideal crystalline city/world full of icons and mosaics on ever expanding and shifting walls". The Descent of Alette, therefore, represents Notley‘s departure from the realm of the symbolic hegemony of anglocentric patriarchy and her subsequent seeking out of a new symbolic order.

Paper Title :: The “13th Step” Methodology as a Breakthrough in the Research of PTSD and Addictions: A New Efficient Algorithm for Full Recovery from Trauma and Addictions
Author Name :: Maria Mavrekh
Country :: Cyprus
Page Number :: 113-119
Trauma, or traumatic experience, is the main reason for the formation of addictive behaviour. Addictions take many forms: alcoholism, drug addiction, addiction to drugs, addiction to food, addiction to work, sex addiction, addictive relationships, love addiction, eating disorders (ED), and others. Usually, different types of addictions are present in the same client. Traditional approaches to addiction treatment focus on preventing relapse and improving quality of life. The problem with the traditional approach is that it does not consider complete recovery from addiction by correcting the causes of addictive behaviour. This paper describes a new tool for addiction treatment — the ‘13th Step’ methodology.

Paper Title :: Rethinking the Influence of Academic Freedom on Public Discourse and Societal Evolution in Higher Education
Author Name :: Yi-Huang Shih || Shih-Chieh Kao || Yu-Ming Chiang
Country :: Taiwan
Page Number :: 120-126
This opinion piece aims to rethink the influence of academic freedom on public discourseand societal evolution in higher education.How to foster an environment of academic freedom:
(1) Supportive Institutional Policies: universities can create policies that protect academic freedom and encourage open discourse while providing frameworks for ethical engagement and research integrity;
(2) Encouraging Interdisciplinary Collaboration: promoting interdisciplinary research can lead to new insights and foster a culture of academic freedom where diverse perspectives intersect;
(3) Engaging with the Public: encouraging scholars to engage with the public through outreach, community-based research, and public lectures can enhance the societal relevance of academic work and contribute to informed public discourse.
In addition, challenges to academic freedom are as follows:
(1) Political Pressures: increasing political polarization can threaten academic freedom, with calls for censorship or self-censorship among scholars. This can limit the scope of research and discussion;
(2) Commercialization of Education: the increasing influence of market forces on higher education may prioritize profitability over intellectual inquiry, potentially stifling dissenting voices and controversial research;
(3) Balancing Academic Freedom with Responsibility: while promoting academic freedom, there is a need to ensure that this freedom is exercised responsibly, respecting ethical standards and the potential impact on society.

Intense competition implies that the automobile dealers need to come up with the best ways for of promoting their supply chain performance. This is because nearly three-quarters of the funds in the automobile industry is tied up in slow moving stock. Consequently, the industry is faced with the problem of having large inventory built ups that ties up the capital thus affecting the supply chain performance. In order to restore normalcy, inventory management practices (IMPs) have been adopted by many dealers in the sector. However, the influence of these IMPs has not been adequately interrogated. Thus, the paper examined the influence of IMPs on the supply chain performance in the automotive industry. Specifically, the paper examined the influence of just in time and FIFO on the supply chain performance in the automobile industry in Kenya. The paper was anchored on the Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA) and the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and was based on the descriptive research design. Data was gathered using the questionnaires and analyzed using the descriptive statistics including the mean, standard deviation and the inferential statistics including the correlation and regression analysis. The results showed that IMPs influenced the supply chain performance in the automobile industry in Kenya. Just in time accounted for 61.5% of the variance in the supply chain performance while 68.3% of the variation in supply chain performance in the automobile industry in Kenya was explained by FIFO.

The study aimed to identify the impact of psychological stress on professional competence among teachers of children with autism spectrum disorder from their point of view, and to verify the nature of the relationship between them. The descriptive correlational predictive approach was used, which is the most appropriate approach for the nature of the study and achieving its objectives, by applying the psychological stress scale consisting of (15) paragraphs, and the professional competence scale consisting of (16) paragraphs on a sample of (116) male and female teachers. The results showed that the level of professional competence among teachers of children with autism spectrum disorder from their point of view was generally high, but the arithmetic mean of (2.32) reflects the existence of a disparity in teachers' assessment of their professional abilities, with the arithmetic means of the paragraphs ranging between low and medium levels. This disparity is explained by the fact that teachers may feel capable of accomplishing the tasks required of them, but at the same time they face challenges that prevent them from achieving their full professional goals. These results indicate that teachers are able to perform basic tasks, but they may suffer from a lack of support or resources to fully achieve their ambitions and professional goals. The study recommended several recommendations, including: designing and implementing psychological support programs specifically for teachers of children with autism spectrum disorder, aiming to enhance stress management skills and provide effective strategies for coping with daily challenges.
