Abstract

Background. Pre-modern texts constitute a foundational archive of cultural memory through which societies transmit values, identities, and historical consciousness across generations. In contemporary society, these texts are increasingly reinterpreted to address present concerns, revealing dynamic interactions between historical continuity and modern cultural frameworks. Purpose. This study aims to examine how cultural memory embedded in pre-modern texts is reinterpreted in contemporary contexts and how such reinterpretations contribute to the negotiation of historical continuity and social meaning. Method. The study employs a qualitative interpretative approach using textual and contextual analysis informed by cultural memory studies, hermeneutics, and historical criticism. Selected pre-modern texts and their contemporary reinterpretations are analyzed through close reading to identify shifts in meaning, narrative emphasis, and cultural function. Results. The findings indicate that contemporary reinterpretations do not merely preserve pre-modern texts but actively reframe them to respond to current social, ethical, and cultural challenges. Cultural memory functions as a selective and adaptive process, enabling continuity while allowing reinterpretation, transformation, and critique of inherited traditions. Conclusion. This study concludes that the reinterpretation of pre-modern texts plays a crucial role in sustaining historical continuity by transforming cultural memory into a living resource. Such processes reaffirm the relevance of historical texts in contemporary society while reshaping collective understanding of the past.

Abstract

Background. Historical narratives are critical in shaping both political power and social structures within societies. These narratives not only reflect past events but also contribute to the construction of collective identities and the legitimization of political authority. Understanding how these narratives influence cultural change is crucial for examining the interplay between political power and societal transformation across different contexts. Purpose. This study aims to explore the relationship between political power, historical narratives, and cultural change by examining how social structures are depicted and reshaped through historical accounts in various political regimes. The research compares the role of these narratives in societies with different political systems, including monarchies, democracies, and authoritarian states. Method. A comparative historical analysis is employed, focusing on key historical narratives from selected societies. Textual analysis of primary sources, alongside secondary literature, is used to identify the ways in which historical events are framed to reinforce or challenge political power and social hierarchies. Results. The study reveals that historical narratives serve as powerful tools for consolidating political power, often manipulating cultural memory to legitimize dominant social structures. However, these narratives also provide spaces for contestation, allowing alternative perspectives and social movements to challenge established norms. Conclusion. This research concludes that historical narratives are central to the dynamics of political power and cultural change, offering insights into how societies negotiate social structures through the lens of history.

Abstract

Background. Community-based home industries play a vital role in the economic development of emerging economies, offering a source of livelihood and preserving local cultures. The synergy between social capital and vocational training is increasingly recognized as crucial for the sustainability of these industries. Social capital, encompassing networks, relationships, and trust, alongside vocational training, which enhances skills and productivity, can significantly impact the long-term success of home-based businesses. Purpose. This study aims to evaluate how the interaction between social capital and vocational training influences the sustainability of community-based home industries in emerging economies. Method. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys to measure business performance and qualitative interviews to understand the role of social networks and training in business success. Results. The results reveal that firms with strong social networks and access to vocational training show higher levels of productivity, market access, and longevity. These businesses experienced up to a 30% increase in productivity and a 25% improvement in sustainability compared to those without access to both factors. Conclusion. The findings emphasize that integrating social capital with vocational training enhances the resilience of small businesses in low-resource environments, providing valuable insights for policymakers seeking to support sustainable entrepreneurship.

Abstract

Background. In today’s globalized world, cross-cultural communication and language proficiency are essential for fostering international collaboration and understanding. Ubiquitous learning platforms, leveraging mobile and cloud-based technologies, have the potential to enhance language learning by providing learners with immersive, interactive, and culturally relevant experiences. These technologies bridge the gap between language learning and real-world applications, offering students opportunities to engage with authentic language use and cultural contexts. Despite their potential, the effectiveness of these platforms in promoting global competency remains underexplored. Purpose. This study aims to explore how ubiquitous learning platforms can be leveraged to improve language learning outcomes and enhance cross-cultural communication. The research examines the impact of these platforms on learners' global competency, language proficiency, and intercultural awareness. Method. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative assessments of language proficiency with qualitative interviews to understand learners' perceptions of cross-cultural communication and the role of technology in their learning experiences. Data were collected from 200 language learners across diverse cultural backgrounds. Results. The findings reveal significant improvements in language proficiency, cultural understanding, and cross-cultural communication skills. Learners reported increased engagement and motivation, with many stating that the interactive, real-world contexts provided by the platforms helped them better understand and apply language in diverse settings. Conclusion. Ubiquitous learning platforms offer a powerful tool for enhancing language learning and global competency. By integrating cultural immersion with language education, these platforms can foster more effective and meaningful language acquisition in multicultural contexts.

Abstract

Background. Digital transformation in public services has become a critical component in improving government service delivery. One of the most significant innovations in this area is the implementation of Single Window Service (SWS) policies, which aim to streamline public service access by offering citizens a single point of contact for multiple government services. Despite the widespread adoption of SWS policies, their effectiveness varies across different regions, largely due to differences in technological infrastructure, governance structures, and regional support for digital initiatives. Purpose. This study seeks to provide a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of SWS policies in various regional governments, examining the factors that influence their success and identifying the key outcomes of these policies. Method. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining qualitative interviews with government officials, surveys of citizens, and quantitative performance data to assess service efficiency, citizen satisfaction, and administrative burden reduction. Results. The results show that regions with stronger digital infrastructure and better organizational readiness exhibit higher levels of SWS success, while those with limited resources struggle to achieve similar outcomes Conclusion. The study concludes that the effectiveness of SWS policies is contingent not only on technological infrastructure but also on governance and organizational factors, providing valuable insights for improving digital public service delivery.
