Abstract

In an increasingly digitized world, cyber conflicts are emerging as a critical domain of modern warfare and international relations. This paper examines the legal and ethical standards that govern cyber conflict, aiming to define clear rules of engagement. Through a detailed analysis of current international laws, national legislation, and ethical theories relevant to cyber operations, this research identifies gaps and challenges in the existing frameworks. Case studies of notable cyber incidents illustrate the practical implications of these legal and ethical standards. The study proposes a set of refined rules of engagement designed to address these deficiencies, ensuring ma ore coherent and consistent application of legal and ethical principles in cyber conflict. The findings suggest that while international consensus and cooperation are crucial, there is also a need for dynamic and adaptable rules that can keep pace with rapid technological advancements. This paper contributes to the growing discourse on cyber conflict by providing a comprehensive understanding of the legal and ethical dimensions and offering actionable recommendations for policymakers, legal experts, and cybersecurity practitioners.

Abstract

Language performs important social functions. Language serves as a means of passing along a people’s culture from one generation to the next. The Yoruba people are well renowned for having a strong oral tradition and cultural inheritance, particularly with regard to the use of proverbs. Studies have also looked into how Yoruba proverbs contribute to the contradictions in gender roles in the region. Research has also examined the ways in which gender roles in the area are contradicted by Yoruba proverbs. The majority of research on Yoruba proverbs has been on their semantic structures, categories, and uses in interpersonal and conflict resolution communication. The goal of this research is to better understand the situations in which women’s gender is inaccurately portrayed by looking at the ideologies that underlie the poor representations of women in proverbs and the most prevalent illocutionary actions used to spread these unfavourable impressions. The Yorùbâ proverbs (Olawole, 1998, Olojede, 2012, Olasupo et al. 2012, Owomoyela, 2005, Ademowo and Balogun, 2015, interview) were culled down to a selection of nineteen proverbs. Because proverbs are contextualised in Yoruba culture, the study incorporates context, which is a component of Lawal’s pragmatic theory from 2012. The six philosophical background levels and the Yoruba worldview are taken into consideration when analysing the work. These include the levels of context, language, psychology, cosmology, sociology, and society. The findings demonstrated that instances of illocutionary behaviour included confirming, warning, claiming, saying, forecasting, admonishing, and judging. When males feel they have harmed their female counterparts, they use proverbs to accentuate their views. This is the overall context in which these sayings are used. These sayings are meant to dissuade women from having original thought processes. Declarative illocutionary acts are a common indicator of male dominance over female counterparts. As a result, proverbs that originate from Yoruba cultural concepts reinforce the derogatory portrayal of women.

Abstract

World economies have become more globalized and interconnected, with new advanced aspects of employment that are highly automated and technological. This leads to new work requirements that have rapidly been evolving since the beginning of the twenty-first century. Performing in such a competitive environment necessitates qualified job candidates who are not only competent in hard knowledge but also in soft skills. This forces employers to look for graduates with strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills, and a significant ability to manage various tasks and missions. In this context, this paper investigates the status of soft skills, students’ and employers’ attitudes towards them, and the possible merit and / or insignificance attributed to these skills for the student’s current educational and later professional endeavor. 120 Engineering and Science students from Hassan II and Cadi Ayyad Universities and 15 Casablanca and Rabat-based companies participated in the study. The findings reveal that both students and employers give greater importance to soft skills as essential requirements for job finding and employment success.

Abstract

This paper is part of a broader research project examining evaluative language in the high-stakes public speaking context of the Miss Universe (MU) pageant, contributing to our understanding of spontaneous speech patterns. It investigates the evaluative language patterns employed by MU candidates during the Q&A sessions, utilizing Appraisal Theory as a framework for analysis. The primary aim was to uncover the common patterns of evaluative language used by the candidates during such pivotal moments. Data were collected from MU Q&A sessions between 2000 and 2023, focusing on English-speaking candidates’ responses. Using Sketch Engine for corpus analysis, collocations and language patterns were extracted from 100 responses to analyze key linguistic elements. The results show a strong tendency toward positive evaluative language, particularly emphasizing themes of empowerment, inclusivity, and advocacy. These linguistic patterns reflect how candidates strategically employ language to project confidence, align with the ethos of the competition, and engage with global issues. Through their responses, candidates effectively use language to construct positive self-images and advocate for social change. These findings advance both theoretical and practical insights into the role of evaluative language in public speaking, offering implications for discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, and language use in media and performance contexts.

Abstract

The teaching of Amazigh has been celebrated by plenty of activists as a cornerstone toward revitalizing the Amazigh language and culture. Grand efforts have been made to ameliorate both the process and product of this policy. However, several issues persist, raising questions about officials’ political will and the full engagement of educators, learners, and their families. The present paper delves into Moroccans’ attitudes and views on the Amazigh teaching experience. It adopts a qualitative approach, as data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed through thematic analysis. Results show that Moroccans generally perceive the teaching of Amazigh as an essential step toward reconciliation with the Amazigh identity. The 21-year-long experience is, however, regarded by the majority of participants to be a fiasco for several reasons, including lack of resources and educational staff and the incessant insignificance and carelessness associated with Amazigh. Most of the respondents, nevertheless, strongly support the adoption of the Tifinagh script, suggesting that it is a requisite part of Moroccan history and culture. The future of the Amazigh language is yet held with great pessimism, especially due to the fierce competition of other languages. The study calls for working on changing Moroccans’ negative attitudes and beliefs on Amazigh, arguing that without a solid social foundation, neither activists’ militancy nor constant political changes would be of any value.

Abstract

This study examines the media strategies employed by Orthodox Church television networks in five predominantly Orthodox countries: Romania, Serbia, Greece, Russia, and Georgia. As religious broadcasting continues to play a significant role in shaping public discourse and reinforcing religious identity, this research explores how these networks navigate the intersection of faith, culture, and media in their respective sociopolitical contexts. Through a comparative analysis, the article investigates the programming content, audience engagement tactics, and technological adaptations utilized by these networks, as well as their responses to challenges such as secularization, digital transformation, and political influences. By drawing on case studies from each country, the study highlights both commonalities and divergences in their media strategies, shedding light on the evolving role of religious media in the digital age. The findings contribute to broader discussions on the relationship between religion, media, and society, offering insights into how Orthodox Church televisions balance tradition and innovation to maintain relevance in a rapidly changing media landscape.

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the transforming potential of AI-driven translating tools in safeguarding and advancing India’s great linguistic variety. By allowing their translation into generally spoken tongues, technologies including Bhashini, Anuvadini, Google Translate, and DeepL are becoming increasingly effective tools for bridging linguistic barriers and reducing the loss of threatened languages. By doing this, these instruments become quite important in preserving cultural identities and guaranteeing the survival of linguistic legacy. This study emphasizes how AI translation tools not only improve efficient communication among many language communities but also greatly help to digital archiving of languages for next generations, so increasing their accessibility and understandable value to more general audiences. This paper shows that AI-driven translating tools not only serve as means of linguistic preservation but also as essential resources for ensuring the continuous relevance and survival of India’s several languages in the digital era by combining a mixed-methods approach—integrating both quantitative survey data collected via WhatsApp and Instagram and qualitative insights drawn from academic articles, web sources. These results have broad ramifications since they highlight the pressing need of legislators, technologists, and cultural players to fund the creation of inclusive, accurate, and sensitive AI language tools. Moreover, the research implies that ensuring that minority and threatened languages are meaningfully reflected in the digital sphere will depend on cooperative efforts among local communities, linguists, and technology developers. This study creates opportunities for future innovation aiming at promoting linguistic equity and cultural sustainability in India and beyond by advancing the debate on the ethical and cultural obligations of artificial intelligence development.

Abstract

Environmental degradation necessitates urgent action, yet a gap often exists between awareness and behavior, particularly among youth who are crucial for future sustainability. Higher education institutions potentially play a significant role in shaping student environmentalism. This study addresses the persistent disconnect between environmental awareness and consistent pro-environmental action among university students. It specifically investigates factors influencing this gap, including the perceived environmental responsibility of the students' university. The study aimed to: (1) Assess university students' environmental knowledge (particularly regarding marine litter), attitudes, and awareness; (2) Identify factors influencing engagement in specific pro-environmental behaviors; (3) Evaluate how perceptions of university environmental responsibility affect student attitudes and behaviors; and (4) Explore perceived barriers and facilitators to environmental action. This research employed a mixed-methods approach with 122 university students. Quantitative survey data measured environmental knowledge (true/false, multiple choice), attitudes (Likert scales, e.g., interest, worry), and self-reported behaviors (e.g., household actions, waste separation). Qualitative data from open-ended questions explored perceptions of barriers, facilitators, and the university's role. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, correlations, t-tests, ANOVA, and regression; thematic analysis was used for qualitative data. Students demonstrated high environmental interest (Mean=4.01/5) and worry (Mean=3.96/5). However, a significant awareness-action gap was evident; for instance, while 81.1% reported using cloth bags, only 39.3% consistently separated household waste. Knowledge varied, with strong understanding of microplastic impacts (89.3% aware of health effects) but misconceptions about local issues (only 41.8% correctly disagreed the Adriatic Sea is clean). Social media emerged as the dominant information source (41%). Crucially, perceived university environmental responsibility significantly influenced student attitudes and behaviors. Qualitative findings highlighted inadequate university infrastructure (e.g., lack of recycling bins, prevalent single-use plastics) as a key barrier. These results underscore universities' critical role in bridging the awareness-action gap. Institutions must actively cultivate environmental responsibility through visible initiatives, improved infrastructure (like accessible recycling), and curriculum integration. Targeted interventions should leverage peer influence, address specific knowledge gaps (e.g., local pollution realities), and translate student concern into tangible, sustainable actions within the campus and community.

Abstract

Translating humor is a complex process that demands consideration of the target audience in terms of cultural background, language constraints, and cultural diversity. This study aims to systematically analyze and compare the translation strategies of fan and official subtitles in conveying humor in Hotel Transylvania 2 based on Pedersen’s (2005) translation strategy model. In addition, Nababan’s (2012) translation quality assessment model is used to explore and evaluate the impact of various translation strategies on the accuracy of both subtitles in the film. Humorous utterances from the English fantasy comedy Hotel Transylvania 2 screened on Netflix (Chinese official subtitles) as well as the fansub translated version from publicly available subtitle-sharing sites, are used as data in this study. Through qualitative analysis, this study evaluates the humor translation strategies and their accuracy level across Chinese and English languages and cultures. The findings demonstrate that certain strategies are widely used in both subtitles, some leading to a higher degree of inaccuracy in translations. These findings provide some implications for improving the accuracy and quality of humor translation in both official subtitles and fansubs of Hotel Transylvania 2.

Abstract

Narratives play a central role in our daily lives. They organize to the possibilities of our culturally bounded material world by teaching the roles, processes and emotional parameters of our particular community. Through social life, we acquire a framework of references to interpret our experiences and negotiate meanings (Bruner & Haste, 1990). But narratives do not stand still in a material support. Since their oral origins, they have move to stone, codex, books, digital formats and countless material ways to transmit them. This is to say they transpose from one media to other and from one genre to other, adapting itself to the possibilities each support/genre offers. Modern media and genres involve nowadays multimodal texts, which means that there is also a movement from one mode to another (Lim and Tan-Chia, 2023: 90). By definition legislative and legal genres constitute a part of the legal framework established by government officials to address complex societal issues (Dimok, 2012: 338). As discourse, they involve a discursive and a social practice but, unlike many other genres, they provide material resources to protect the representations they include. Nevertheless, in their spirit of enforcing behaviours, legislative and legal genres present limitations. The same feature that grants them a high hierarchy also constrains their reach: normative language does not sell; it is not suitable for a mass audience. So, these meanings must be re-written into a broader construction for non-expert auditoriums. In this work we use ecolinguistics as main theoretical framework to investigate the construction and transposition of emotional meanings in food legislation regarding the 2019 Bird flu outbreak in Argentina. We adopt the systemic-functional tools proposed by Kress and van Leeuwen (2005) for image analysis; Ekman & Friesen (1978, 1986) and Ekman (2003) for facial expressions of emotion and Forte (2023a) for music analysis.
