Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify word-formation patterns and the semantic domain distribution of contemporary robotics terminology, and to explain how these two dimensions shape the functional organization of the robotics lexical system. Research Methodology: This research employs a corpus-based functional-semantic approach to analyze 146 unique terms extracted from peer-reviewed articles published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics, IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, and Frontiers in Robotics and AI. The data were examined based on word-formation strategies and semantic domain classification. Results: The findings indicate that compounding is the most dominant word-formation strategy (74.0%), followed by acronymy, prefixation, borrowing, suffixation, and blending. Semantically, the terms are distributed across 14 functional domains, with the five largest clusters comprising Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Manipulation, Locomotion, and Navigation. Conclusions: Contemporary robotics terminology demonstrates a systematic lexical structure characterized by the dominance of compounding and function-based semantic clustering. This reflects the need for conceptual precision and communicative efficiency in scientific robotics discourse. Limitations: The study is limited to three international journals and a relatively small dataset (146 terms), which may not fully represent the global diversity of robotics terminology. Contributions: This study contributes theoretically to applied linguistics and technical terminology studies, and practically to technical communication, translation, and the standardization of robotics terminology.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores how emotions are expressed, perceived, and conceptualized by male and female speakers in English and Uzbek discourse, focusing on the linguistic and cognitive aspects of emotional language across cultures. Research Methodology: The study analyzed 240 discourse samples, equally divided by language (English and Uzbek) and gender, using methods from gender linguistics, pragmatics, and cognitive linguistics. Results: Female speakers used more intensifiers, hedges, and empathy-oriented expressions, reflecting relational communication, while male speakers used fewer emotional amplifications and favored metaphorical expressions based on force and heat. The study also identified universal emotional metaphors and culturally specific ones in Uzbek, particularly heart-centered models influenced by collectivist values. Conclusions: The study concluded that emotional language is socially constructed and cognitively grounded, playing a key role in gender identity performance, with both cultural and gender differences shaping emotional expression. Limitations: The study focused on English and Uzbek, limiting its applicability to other languages and cultures. The sample size of 240 may also not capture all emotional nuances. Contributions: This research enhances gender and cross-cultural discourse analysis, offering insights into how emotional expressions are influenced by gender and culture. It contributes to fields like linguistics, psychology, and cultural studies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines English and Uzbek proverbs to identify shared and distinct features of their spiritual worlds and national identities. Research Methodology: A descriptive method was first used to analyze the semantic characteristics of proverbs in both languages. A comparative typological approach followed to highlight universal and culturally specific features. Additionally, the linguacultural method was applied to interpret cultural concepts embedded in the proverbs. Results: The study supports Humboldt’s theory of inner and outer language forms. While both languages express universal truths, they reflect distinct cultural contexts English proverbs often emphasize individualism, while Uzbek proverbs prioritize collectivism. These differences demonstrate how a nation’s worldview shapes its expression of wisdom. Conclusions: Proverbs preserve a nation’s unique spiritual and social essence. English proverbs emphasize individualism and pragmatism, while Uzbek proverbs highlight collective harmony, respect for lineage, and hospitality. Limitations: This study is limited to the semantic and structural analysis of paroemias, leaving the phonetic and rhythmic aspects of the outer form for future investigation. Expanding the scope to include regional dialects would provide an even deeper look into these linguacultural codes. Contributions: This study contributes to paremiological studies by providing a comparative framework for analysing how national identity is encoded in folk wisdom. Specifically, it offers a practical foundation for compiling a thematic dictionary of proverbs that goes beyond literal translation to categorize proverbs by their shared moral and cultural values.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of e learning as implemented in Iraqi universities, colleges, and institutes during the academic year 2019/2020, with a particular focus on the challenges and outcomes arising from the COVID-19 pandemiccontext. The study evaluates how emergency remote instruction reshaped educational delivery in a country with pre-existing infrastructural deficiencies. Methodology: A descriptive-analytic research design was memployed. A structured online questionnaire was administered to  6,579 participants drawn from both public and private Iraqi higher education institutions. Data collection focused on students' and instructors' perceptions of platform usability, internet reliability, content quality, examination integrity, and institutional preparedness. Results: Findings reveal that Google Classroom was the dominant platform adopted by 87.2% of respondents. Internet connectivity emerged as the foremost barrier, cited by 61.8% of participants. Concerns about academic dishonesty were raised by 45.1% of respondents, while institutional support was rated as excellent by 27.8%. The majority of students experienced electronic examinations for the first time during this period. Conclusions: E-learning adoption in Iraq during the COVID-19 pandemic was reactive rather than strategically planned. While considerable potential was demonstrated, critical gaps in infrastructure, faculty training, and academic integrity mechanisms must be systematically addressed for sustainable implementation. Limitations: The sample was geographically skewed toward Basrah governorate, limiting the generalizability of findings to allIraqi regions. Contributions: This study provides evidence-based insights into emergency e-learning adoption in a conflict-affected, resource constrained developing country context, offering a foundation for future policy reform in Iraqi higher education

Abstract

Purpose: This article examines how Corporate Social Responsibility is being reshaped by the global movement toward mandatory human-rights and environmental due diligence, and it asks whether Nigeria’s existing corporate-governance and sustainability-reporting architecture is adequate for that transition. Methodology: The study adopts a qualitative doctrinal and documentary research design, analyzing international instruments, regulatory directives, corporate-governance standards, and Nigerian regulatory materials published mainly within the last five years, supplemented by thematic document coding and comparative reading of the European Union and Nigerian regulatory pathways. Results: Due diligence does not eliminate voluntary Corporate Social Responsibility but reclassifies selected responsibilities from managerial discretion into enforceable systems of prevention, monitoring, disclosure, and remediation, a shift most visible in the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and echoed unevenly within Nigeria’s sustainability-reporting roadmap. Conclusions: Nigeria possesses relevant governance foundations, but a coherent, risk-based statutory framework for human-rights and environmental due diligence remains necessary to convert disclosure obligations into substantive corporate accountability. Limitations: The doctrinal and documentary design relies on published instruments and secondary literature rather than primary fieldwork or firm-level compliance data. Contributions: The article offers a governance-layered framework distinguishing philanthropic Corporate Social Responsibility, disclosure, and mandatory due diligence, intended to guide Nigerian policymakers and corporate boards.

Abstract

Purpose: This article examines how the borderless architecture of cyberspace is reshaping, rather than eliminating, the sovereign authority of states over digital territory, infrastructure, data and jurisdiction. Methodology: The study relies on a qualitative documentary approach that traces the evolution of international legal instruments, regional treaties, national statutes and institutional reports concerning cyber governance, cross-border data flows and cybercrime enforcement, with particular attention to African and Nigerian regulatory experience. Results: The analysis shows that formal legal sovereignty over digital space persists, yet its practical exercise is steadily constrained by jurisdictional overlap, reliance on privately owned infrastructure, attribution difficulties, cross-border data mobility and uneven treaty implementation. States that possess legislative authority frequently lack the enforcement capacity to translate that authority into effective control, producing a widening gap between formal and operative sovereignty. Conclusions: Cyber sovereignty should be reconceived as a cooperative and capacity-dependent condition rather than a fixed territorial entitlement, requiring states to combine domestic legal reform with international coordination, infrastructural resilience and rights-conscious regulation. Limitations: The study is confined to documentary and doctrinal materials and does not incorporate primary empirical data such as interviews with regulators or platform operators. Contributions: The article contributes a governance-oriented framework, termed adaptive digital sovereignty, that policymakers and scholars can apply to evaluate and strengthen state capacity across fragmented digital jurisdictions.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the intersection of Nigeria’s socio-political environment, banditry, and student kidnapping with electoral insecurity, tracing how these overlapping crises undermine educational access and national development. Methodology: The study adopts a qualitative, documentary design, drawing on government reports, United Nations and multilateral agency data, and peer-reviewed literature to analyze patterns of school-related insecurity across Nigeria between 2014 and 2026, interpreted through conflict theory. Results: Findings show that banditry and kidnapping intensify around election cycles as weakened security structures and politicized violence converge on vulnerable school environments, producing closures, declining enrollment, displacement, trauma, and measurable erosion of human capital. Consequences extend into declining foreign direct investment, rising food insecurity, and diminished confidence in governance institutions. Conclusions: Safeguarding education during political transitions requires integrated strategies that strengthen school security, enhance governance accountability, and embed community participation in protection planning, since protecting learners is inseparable from protecting Nigeria’s democratic future. Limitations: The documentary approach relies on secondary reports rather than direct interviews with affected students, teachers, or officials, and rapidly evolving incidents may outpace the data captured here. Contributions: The article contributes an integrated framework linking electoral insecurity, banditry, and educational disruption, offering policymakers an evidence base for election-cycle school protection strategies.
