Abstract

Objective: This paper explored the Iranian strategic discourse and defensive stance in relation to the U.S.Israel war, and how perceptions, reasons and implications in the region influenced its actions. Method: Based on the Realist theory and the principle of a security dilemma, the study examined the hybrid military approach of Iran, integrating defensive, asymmetric, and proxy warfare to maintain sovereignty and prevent foreign aggression. The study employed a qualitative approach that relies on secondary sources; such as academic literature, policy statements, and regional accounts on the interplay between the ideological narrative of defense, legitimacy, and resistance of Iran and its behavioral patterns. Results: The research showed that there is a considerable gap in perceptions: in the United States and Israel, the same actions were interpreted as signs of expansionist intentions and destabilizing actions, which would strengthen the security dilemma, whereas Iran saw the same actions as defensive ones and the need to preserve the regime. The discussion has indicated that the strategic narrative of Iran has been the key to justification of its policy in the domestic context and persuasion of the international audience, but it has not been effective in all cases and circumstances. The paper came to the conclusion that the strategic discourse and defensive stance of Iran could not be separated, and ideology, perception, and operational behavior were all integrated in the Iranian security policy. Its compromise nature helped Iran to survive in a hostile region without being deterred, but at the same time, created more tension with its opponents because of conflicting interpretations. On the basis of these results, the study suggested creating a multilateral dialogue platform to clarify the intentions and enhance the communication process, creating defensive strategies to combat hybrid threats and asymmetric operations, and enhancing the strategic narrative through transparency, public diplomacy, and information campaigns based on research. Such steps would help to increase mutual understanding, decrease the number of misperceptions, and help to create a more stable regional security environment. Novelty: Based on the Realist theory and the principle of a security dilemma, the study examined the hybrid military approach of Iran, integrating defensive, asymmetric, and proxy warfare to maintain sovereignty and prevent foreign aggression.

Abstract

Objective : The given article deals with the problem of national-cultural markedness of colloquial vocabulary as a functional-semantic and culture-specific, linguistically conditioned phenomenon reflecting the collective experience, social norms and culturally specific modes of conceptualization. Method : The article inspired by theoretical ideas from linguoculturology, sociolinguistics and pragmatics explores the national-cultural determinants of semantics, pragmatics and employs colloquial expressions in modern English language. Results : Evidence illustrates the codification of value judgments, social relationships, and shared background knowledge in terms of cultural coding in colloquial units. The results show that informal lexis is a major site of cultural specificity and until recently has been fraught with translation, lexicographic and cross-cultural issues. Novelty : They explore colloquial units both as informal lexical items and as the carriers of cultural meanings inscribed in everyday interaction.

Abstract

Objective: Brain Drain is defined as the large scale emigration of highly skilled and educated individuals from developing nations, remains a critical factor contributing to Africa’s underdevelopment. The paper examines how the persistent loss of talent weakens key sectors including healthcare, education, and Public Administration, resulting in reduced productivity and poor service delivery in many African countries. Method: The paper adopts dependency theory as its theoretical framework as put forward by Andre Gunder Frank. Frank believed that the world is divided into core (developed countries) and periphery (developing countries), and that underdevelopment in poorer countries is the result of their historical and economic dependence on richer countries. Results: The shortage of qualified personnel exacerbates poverty, limits innovation, and hinders sustainable development. Furthermore, the financial investment made by government in educating these professionals yields little return, as the benefits are transferred to host countries. Despite some potentials advantages, such as remittance and knowledge transfer through diaspora networks, the negative impacts of brain drain outweigh its benefits. Novelty: The way forward/recommendation is that all hope for development in Africa is not lost, but deliberate efforts must be made by African state to define in clear terms their development objectives, improve local working conditions, increase investment in infrastructure, promote political stability, and create opportunities for professional growth within the continent.

Abstract

Objective: This paper explored how foreign aid influences the stability of the West African governments and military coups with specific reference to Burkina Faso. The research thus sought to explore the question of whether foreign aid had empowered the institutions of governance or led to political instability and unconstitutional governmental transitions. Method: The research was based on the Dependency Theory, which was developed by Andre Gunder Frank (1966; 1967). The research methodology used was qualitative. Secondary sources were used to get data, including textbooks, academic journal articles, government publications, newspapers, and international news sources. Content analysis was used to analyse the data in order to determine patterns and relationships between foreign aid, governance stability, and military coups in Burkina Faso. Results: The results indicated that foreign aid had helped in certain areas of governance by providing administrative support, development programmes, humanitarian aid, and security cooperation. These gains, however, failed to translate into long term political stability and popular legitimacy. The study discovered that aid was more successful in situations where institutions were already in place, but in Burkina Faso weak governance structures, insecurity and low levels of state legitimacy diminished the value of aid in stabilising situations. Novelty: The research found that foreign aid had reinforced the remnants of the state, but not the political legitimacy and institutional stability needed to achieve stable democratic governance in Burkina Faso. The study suggested more powerful domestic institutions, more people-oriented aid interventions, and less reliance on external assistance by mobilising domestic resources.

Abstract

Objective: This study explores the synthesis between secular and sharia law in Nigeria’s justice system: A study of Sunday Jackson’s trial of (2015-2025), it further explores how these legal traditions interact and sometimes conflict in practice. Using Jackson’s case as a focal point, it examines tensions between constitutional guarantees of human rights and religiously grounded principles, highlighting issues of jurisdictions, fairness, and legal certainty. Method: The theoretical framework for the study was discussed in an eclectic form namely: Demand-side Theory (DST), Supply-side Theory (SST) and, Legal pluralism Theory (LPT), but we adopted the later. This research employs a doctrinal and case study perspective to assess the historical development of legal pluralism, its constitutional basis, and its practical challenges. Results: It further evaluates how courts balance secular and Islamic law, especially in criminal matters, and the implications for justice delivery and human rights protection. Study findings also show that while pluralism promotes cultural and religious inclusivity, it also creates inconsistences and risks of right violations. Novelty: Nigeria’s legal system operates at the intersection of secular, customary and sharia law, creating a pluralistic framework that reflects its religious and cultural diversity. Therefore, the study recommends constitutional reforms, clearer jurisdictional boundaries, and judicial training to harmonize Nigeria’s legal systems with international human rights standards.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the challenges arising from the encounter between the sacred totality of traditional art and the logic of virtual infrastructure, which drives the process of sacrality reengineering. This process involves the deconstruction of the inseparable unity of ritual, art, community, and cosmology, detaching them from their sacred contexts and reassembling them within digital platform formats. Method:Employing a literature review methodology, the study analyzes ethnographic books, national and international scholarly journal articles, and relevant research reports. Results: The findings reveal four principal insights. First, the morphology of sacredness in traditional art within the pre-digital context is constituted by elements of sacred space, sacred time, heirloom objects, and the roles of ritual performers, forming an indivisible totality. Second, the mechanism of sacrality reengineering unfolds in three stages: the disintegration of aesthetic elements from the ritual core, reformatting in accordance with platform algorithmic logic, and the repositioning of meaning into entertainment content, virtual identity, and digital tourism commodities. Third, a crossroads emerges where customary authority intersects with digital metrics, prompting negotiations of identity for traditional artists transitioning into content creators and causing cultural legitimacy dissonance. Novelty: Fourth, indigenous communities develop a spectrum of digital communal resistance, ranging from passive resistance through access restrictions and platform neglect to active-adaptive resistance via sacred digital archives, counter-narratives, and the creation of exclusive communally based digital spaces. The study’s implications underscore the necessity of formulating cultural heritage protection policies grounded in the digital sovereignty of indigenous communities.

Abstract

Objective: This study originates from a fundamental issue concerning the wave of technological extension infiltrating the core of traditional Nusantara arts, generating tension between preserving cultural authenticity and the inevitability of digital adaptation. Simultaneously, it introduces non-human actors such as algorithms and artificial narratives that actively reshape the cultural ecology. Method: Employing a literature review methodology, this research examines four interrelated problematic dimensions. Results: The findings reveal, firstly, that the transformation of traditional artistic practices occurs through a continuous negotiation between fluid authenticity and contextual digital adaptation, rather than a binary stance of rejecting or embracing technology. Secondly, digital platform algorithms function as gatekeepers of new cultural domains, altering the mechanisms of canonization and distribution of cultural artifacts, whereas artificial intelligence capable of instant meaning reproduction often lacks the emic dimension and cosmological depth that constitute the essence of traditional knowledge. Thirdly, the deconstruction of space and time due to digitalization detaches art from its sacred context, yet simultaneously creates liminal spaces where creative hybridity can flourish. Novelty: Fourthly, the crisis of knowledge authority triggered by artificial narratives is met by cultural practitioners through various strategies ranging from protective resistance to accommodative negotiation. This study concludes that the future of Nusantara arts in the digital era is not determined by technology itself but by the capacity of cultural agents to continuously and critically negotiate the balance between the sacred and the profane, the permanent and the mutable.

Abstract

Objective: Trust is widely recognised as a critical determinant of team effectiveness, collaboration, and organisational performance. However, most trust research has focused on stable, long-term teams where relationships develop through repeated interaction over time. Far less is known about how trust emerges in temporary professional teams that must perform effectively despite limited opportunities for relationship development. This study explores how trust is established, maintained, and influenced by leadership in temporary project teams of business psychologists compared with permanent operational teams. Method: A qualitative comparative design was employed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine participants drawn from temporary project teams of business psychologists and permanent operational teams within the same organisational context. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's (2006, 2021) six-phase approach. Results: The findings suggest that trust develops through distinct mechanisms across team structures. In temporary teams, trust was established primarily through perceptions of competence, professional credibility, role clarity, and leadership signalling rather than interpersonal familiarity. Trust functioned as a professional working assumption that enabled collaboration despite limited relational history. In permanent teams, trust emerged gradually through repeated interactions, behavioural consistency, and accumulated relational experiences. Leadership played a critical role in both contexts by creating predictability, clarity, and psychological security. However, the specific leadership behaviours required differed according to team temporality. Novelty: This study addresses a gap in the trust literature by examining how trust develops within temporary professional teams, a context that has received limited scholarly attention relative to stable, permanent teams. It introduces the concept of professionally inferred trust, whereby professional signals such as expertise, credibility, and role clarity serve as active substitutes for relational history during the early stages of collaboration. This extends Swift Trust Theory by proposing a more deliberate inferential process than passive suspension of uncertainty, and complements McAllister's (1995) cognition-based trust framework by identifying a mechanism that operates prior to behavioural evidence becoming available. The findings have implications for how organisations design, lead, and support temporary project teams in knowledge-intensive environments.

Abstract

Objective: This research highlights the impact of integrating modern technology, specifically Artificial Intelligence (AI) and interactive learning tools, into teaching methods, and their direct role in elevating the quality of higher education. The research problem stems from the continued reliance on classical methods and theoretical indoctrination, which creates a comprehension gap and diminishes student motivation, in addition to addressing the challenges of teaching staff shortages. The research aims to emphasize the inevitability of transitioning towards interactive learning environments based on the "competency-based approach." Method: It reviews advanced technological applications, including smart classrooms, neural networks for analyzing classroom data, interactive screens, e-books, and the utilization of interactive videos within the "flipped classroom" model. Results: The research reached several key conclusions, most notably that employing these technologies does not eliminate the professor's role but rather reshapes it into that of a guide and mentor. It radically contributes to enhancing critical thinking and increasing the learner's independence and self-regulation. Novelty: The research recommends the necessity of building a smart, centralized network system within universities, mainstreaming the use of interactive screens, and training academic staff on the strategic design of digital content to ensure an active partnership between the professor and the student in managing and developing the educational process.
