Abstract

Background. The digital era has changed the way people consume news, with digital journalism increasingly dominating compared to traditional media. Purpose. This study aims to understand the differences in consumption patterns and public trust in the two forms of media, as well as their implications for the quality of the information presented.   Method. The research methods used are a quantitative approach through a survey and a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with journalists from both types of media. Results. The results of the study show that younger generations are more likely to use digital journalism because of accessibility and speed, while older generations still trust traditional media because of their credibility and validity. Although digital media is used more frequently, the level of trust in the information presented is relatively lower compared to traditional media. This shows that although digital journalism offers quick access, the credibility aspect is still an issue that needs to be improved. Conclusion. The conclusion of the study is that although digital journalism has changed the face of information consumption, the challenges related to the credibility and validity of information remain significant. This research provides important insights into how speed and credibility can be integrated for a more reliable future of journalism.

Abstract

Background. The background of this research is based on a long debate between dualism, which separates the mind as a non-physical entity, and materialism, which sees full consciousness as the result of physical processes in the brain. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to explore an integrative approach that tries to bring these two views together to provide a more comprehensive understanding of consciousness.    Method. The research method used is a qualitative approach with in-depth literature analysis, involving the thoughts of leading philosophers and neuroscientists. Results. The results show that the integrative approach has the potential to explain the subjective and physical aspects of consciousness simultaneously, without having to set aside one perspective. Conclusion. The conclusion of this study suggests that mind-body problems require a more cross-disciplinary and inclusive approach, which is able to bridge the gap between philosophy and neuroscience. These findings pave the way for more applicable follow-up research to test the validity of integrative approaches in a variety of practical contexts.

Abstract

Background. Existentialism as a school of philosophy that emphasizes personal freedom and responsibility continues to be relevant in the context of contemporary life, where individuals are increasingly feeling social pressures and identity crises. Purpose. This research aims to explore how existentialism can help individuals in their search for meaning in life amid modern complexity and uncertainty.   Method. Using qualitative research methods with a phenomenological approach, this study involved in-depth interviews with adult individuals aged 25-50 years who have an interest in existentialist philosophy. Results. The results of the study show that existentialism is not only an abstract philosophical view, but also serves as a practical guide in daily life. Most participants stated that existentialism helped them deal with existential crises, social pressures, and life uncertainties through deep self-reflection and an emphasis on freedom and responsibility.   Conclusion. The conclusion of this study indicates that existentialism can make a practical contribution in helping individuals find authentic meaning in life. This study recommends further research on the application of existentialism in various cultural and social contexts to deepen the understanding of the relevance of this philosophy in the modern era.

Abstract

Background. This research explores the role of rituals and religion in shaping individual and group identities in various social settings. The background of this research is based on the role of rituals in connecting individuals with their communities and cultural heritage, which gives a deep meaning to collective identity. Purpose. This quantitative study aimed to investigate the preferences of Thai as a foreign language (TFL) learner for ten commonly discussed types of OCF. Specifically, it examined whether these preferences are influenced by four learner variables: proficiency level, first language (L1), foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA), and foreign language enjoyment (FLE). Method. The study involved 288 university students from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean TFL settings, and the data from questionnaires were analysed using appropriate statistical methods. Results. The findings indicate that, regardless of proficiency level, L1, FLCA, or FLE level, learners prefer more explicit OCF techniques, such as metalinguistics feedback and explicit correction. However, Korean undergraduates scored lower in the majority of OCF strategies (i.e., ignoring, elicitation, recast, explanation, and public feedback) compared to the other participants. Conclusion. This study has significant implications for instructional practices in TFL settings and for L2 lecturers in the classroom. By understanding learners’ preferences for OCF, educators can tailor their instructional approaches to meet the specific needs of their students.

Abstract

Background. This research focuses on the decoding of ancient languages and the complexity of the symbols used by the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Indus Valley civilizations. The background of the research is based on the importance of understanding language as a key tool for uncovering the social, spiritual, and administrative lives of past civilizations. Purpose. The purpose of the study was to explain how these symbols can be interpreted using a combination of traditional philological methods and artificial intelligence technology.   Method. The methods used include manual linguistic analysis supported by modern algorithms to speed up the decoding process. Results. The results showed that the symbols of Ancient Egypt were easier to decrypt due to additional documentation, while the symbols from the Indus Valley remained difficult to understand. Symbols from Mesopotamia show complex dual meanings, especially in religious and astronomical contexts. Case studies show that ancient languages are multifunctional tools that reflect advanced social and spiritual structures.   Conclusion. The conclusion of the study confirms that an interdisciplinary approach is essential to uncover more secrets from past civilizations. This research enriches the understanding of ancient languages and shows that technology can speed up the decoding process, although it is not yet fully adequate. This contribution paves the way for further research involving global collaboration and the development of new technologies.

Abstract

Background. English is a global language with numerous regional and social varieties, each exhibiting unique phonological characteristics. These variations are shaped by diverse social, cultural, and geographical influences, leading to significant differences in pronunciation across different English-speaking communities. In the context of cross-cultural communication, these phonological differences can either enhance cultural identity or create barriers to mutual understanding. Purpose. This study aims to explore how phonological variations manifest across different varieties of English spoken around the world. It also seeks to investigate how social, cultural, and geographical factors contribute to these variations, and how they influence the perception and understanding of speech in cross-cultural communication. Furthermore, the research examines the role of these phonological variations in constructing and reflecting the social identity of speakers. Method. The study employs a qualitative research approach combined with phonetic analysis to examine specific phonological features. Data collection methods include in-depth interviews with speakers from various English varieties and the application of advanced acoustic analysis technology to identify key phonetic variations. This combination of qualitative and technological methods provides a comprehensive understanding of the sociophonetic landscape of global English. Results. The results reveal substantial phonological differences across different varieties of English. These include vowel shifts, distinct consonant cluster patterns, varying intonation contours, differing degrees of rhoticity, and contrasts between syllable-timed and stress-timed rhythms. These features significantly impact intelligibility in cross-cultural communication. Conclusion. Phonological variations not only contribute to the rich diversity of global English but also play a crucial role in shaping the social and cultural identity of speakers. At the same time, these variations influence the effectiveness of communication across cultural and linguistic boundaries.

Abstract

Background. Semantic shifts in political discourse are a phenomenon that is increasingly occurring in modern political communication. Language manipulation is used by political actors and the media to shape public opinion, reframe an issue, and create new meanings that suit certain political interests. This strategy not only has an impact on how the public understands policies, but also on the political dynamics that develop in them. Purpose. This study aims to analyze how semantic shifts are used in political discourse as well as how changes in the meaning of words can affect public perception. The study also examines how politicians and the media utilize linguistic strategies to manipulate political discourse and shape certain narratives on a variety of evolving political issues. Method. This study uses critical discourse analysis and semantic linguistic analysis methods to examine 78 political documents, including politicians' speeches, debate transcripts, media news, and policy documents. The data was analyzed with a thematic approach to identify patterns of semantic shifts that emerged in political communication. Results. The analysis showed that political metaphors were a key tool in semantic shifts, with a percentage of 32% of the total documents analyzed. Framing strategies and diction manipulation are also used to build political narratives that benefit certain actors. Shifts in the meaning of words are often used to lead public opinion without them realizing it, thus creating a bias in the understanding of political issues. Conclusion. Semantic shifts are not just linguistic changes, but are political communication strategies that have a wide impact on public opinion and political policy. Awareness of this phenomenon can help the public be more critical in understanding the developing political discourse. This research contributes to deepening the understanding of how language is used as a tool of power in politics and how political literacy can be developed to deal with semantic manipulation in political communication.
