However, in cross-cultural translation, the rendering of dialectal expressions, particularly metaphorical ones, poses significant challenges, as linguistic and cultural disparities often hinder the preservation of their original connotations and cultural resonance. How to accurat…

This paper presents an overview of "Psyche-Civilizational Engineering (WFM-8)," a non-anthropocentric framework that redefines the psyche through the novel axioms of "Consciousness" and "Mind". By utilizing Critical Cutoff Engineering (CCE), we mathematically model the dynamics of anomie and suicidality. We introduce the Overlay Depth Index (ODI) to quantify inverse-phase indoctrination and the P…

This study examined the interrelated factors influencing students’ academic performance in mathematics in terms of attitude toward mathematics, self-confidence, and learning strategies. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized involving forty-two Grade 12 students from a private secondary school in the Division of Misamis Occidental. Data were gathered using a researcher-made ques…

Abstract This paper discusses how the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) affect logistics infrastructure and supply chain performance in China and some of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, and specifically how the quality of governance moderate these effects. The analysis utilizes a balanced panel dataset between 1996 and 2023 that employs a fixed effect panel regression model, which comp…

It draws on a multiplicity of ideas, disciplines, methods and voices to present a more radical alternative to the dominant paradigm of neoclassical economics, which is viewed as overly narrow and blind-sided to how economies actually work. Andrew Trigg traces the heterodox tradition from its origins in the anti-capitalism ideas of…

Abstract Technology, finance, and energy are the key drivers to sustained growth and enhanced living standards in economies. This research adopts a framework that is built around the innovation-driven growth, finance-led growth, and energy-leg growth hypotheses to capture the various financial and technological mechanisms, and energy resources that drives economic growth. Therefore, the analysis …

Abstract This study examines the factors influencing gold prices within a comprehensive framework encompassing macroeconomic, financial, real, and geopolitical factors. By utilizing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and the Unrestricted Error Correction Model (UECM), the analysis captures both short-term dynamics and long-term equilibrium relationships. Robustness of the findings is…

Immersion is a widely experienced yet conceptually contested phenomenon, particularly within Human–Computer Interaction. The Two-Competitor Model proposes that immersion arises from shifts in attentional focus between actual and induced realities. Although the model provides a testable framework for quantifying immersive experiences, it assumes these realities compete along orthogonal dimensions …
