Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how encyclopedic dictionaries interpret oil and gas terminology and how they differ from explanatory dictionaries in terms of conceptual structure and scientific depth. Research Methodology: This study used a qualitative comparative approach to analyze selected oil and gas terms in Uzbek and foreign encyclopedic dictionaries, both printed and digital versions. Definitions were examined descriptively to assess their structure, depth, and conceptual orientation through document analysis and theoretical review without using statistical software or surveys. Results: The findings indicate that encyclopedic dictionaries provide more detailed, systematic, and scientifically grounded interpretations of oil and gas terminology than explanatory dictionaries. Definitions in encyclopedic sources include interdisciplinary perspectives, technical descriptions, and contextual information related to geology, engineering, chemistry, and industrial processes. This demonstrates that encyclopedic dictionaries emphasize conceptual systems rather than simplified lexical definitions. Conclusions: This study concludes that encyclopedic dictionaries play a crucial role in the scientific and practical interpretation of oil and gas terminology. Unlike explanatory dictionaries, they present terms within broader conceptual and interdisciplinary frameworks, making them more suitable for academic and professional use than explanatory dictionaries. Limitations: This study is limited to selected encyclopedic dictionaries in Uzbek and foreign sources and does not include a large-scale corpus-based analysis or a user-centered evaluation. Contributions: This study contributes to lexicography and terminology studies by clarifying the differences between encyclopedic and explanatory dictionaries in technical fields. It benefits lexicographers, translators, educators, and oil and gas professionals who require systematic and concept-based interpretations of specialized terms.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to examine how specific training programs enable English language teachers to effectively integrate technology to develop students’ oral language abilities. It identifies the key professional competencies, training approaches, and institutional support systems for successful technology integration in speaking and listening development. Research Methodology: A mixed-methods approach was used, including both quantitative and qualitative methods. The sample included 180 English teachers and trainers from Namangan, Uzbekistan, supplemented with international best practices. Data were collected through surveys, observations, and interviews and analyzed using statistical and thematic methods. Results: Key findings include: (a) practice-based professional development (PD) with hands-on workshops, digital tool microteaching, and coaching yields the best results; (b) teachers' digital proficiency and pedagogical understanding of oral activities influence technology adoption in classrooms; and (c) infrastructure and institutional policy are crucial for successful technology implementation. Conclusions: Effective teacher-training programs should focus on practice-based PD and coaching. Teachers' digital competence and pedagogical methods for oral activities are vital. Institutional infrastructure and supportive policies are necessary for successful technology integration into classrooms. An evidence-based teacher-training system is essential for scaling technology-based oral language instruction. Limitations: The study is limited by its small sample size, short-term outcomes, and regional focus, which limit its generalizability. Contributions: This study provides evidence for effective teacher training programs and offers recommendations for scalable technology-based oral language instruction.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine how social media use influences marital relations among married women and interpret recurring relational patterns through the maq??id al-shar??a framework, integrating empirical research with Islamic ethical analysis. Research Methodology: A scoping review guided by the PRISMA-ScR framework was conducted using major academic databases. Peer-reviewed empirical and theoretical studies that addressed social media and marital dynamics were included. Data were systematically extracted and analyzed using thematic synthesis. The identified themes were subsequently interpreted through the five classical maq??id objectives: preservation of religion, life (emotional well-being), intellect, lineage (family integrity), and property (economic trust). Results: Five dominant themes emerged: emotional boundary reconfiguration, surveillance and jealousy, social comparison, gendered moral scrutiny, and digital economic participation. The findings indicate that social media functions as a relational amplifier, intensifying the pre-existing dynamics of trust, insecurity, and negotiation rather than serving as a deterministic cause of marital instability. Maq??id-based analysis demonstrates ethical convergence between empirical findings and Islamic objectives concerning emotional stability, moral conduct, rational discernment, family cohesion, and economic transparency. Conclusions: Social media reshapes marital interactions structurally and symbolically, requiring contextual and ethically grounded evaluations. The maq??id framework provides a structured lens for assessing digital intimacy within marriage, emphasizing welfare, justice, and relationship accountability. Limitations: This review is limited to English-language publications and heterogeneous methodologies without a quantitative effect-size assessment. Contribution: This study advances interdisciplinary scholarship by bridging digital sociology and Islamic ethical reasoning and offering a structured normative framework for faith-sensitive digital literacy and marital counseling.

Abstract

Purpose: The research aims to develop a theoretical framework for ecotourism clusters in regional ecological networks to address the gap in theory regarding the composition and governance of ecotourism clusters in transitional economies. While there has been rising interest in tourism clusters, few studies have systematically analyzed the key components and operational relationships of ecotourism clusters using a structured expert-based approach. Research Methodology: The study uses the Delphi method, which includes open and closed questions and interviews, with a panel of multidisciplinary experts in tourism, environmental protection, and cluster development. This expert-based approach is applied to gather insights on the components and governance of ecotourism clusters. Results: The results show a consensus that ecotourism clusters are defined as territorial, cooperative, environmental conservation-focused systems involving tourism services, local economic actors, and independent governance structures. The analysis suggests that clusters with an optimal size (12–14 members) enhance regional coordination, enable sustainable resource management, and reduce or mitigate the ecological burden of tourism. Conclusions: The research concludes that ecotourism clusters not only act as profit-maximizing networks but also serve as institutional equilibria, balancing economic growth with environmental protection. The findings provide a basis for strategic frameworks in designing sustainable regional development and policies. Limitations: The study is limited by the panel’s subjective nature, as it is based on expert opinions, which may not be fully generalizable across all contexts. Further empirical testing is needed for a broader application. Contributions: This research contributes by offering a theoretical framework for ecotourism clusters and highlighting the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in managing sustainable regional tourism.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine how rhetorical devices function in political novels to construct ideology and influence readers’ perceptions using a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach. Research Methodology: A qualitative method was employed by analyzing selected excerpts from All the King’s Men and The People’s Choice. This study focuses on identifying rhetorical devices such as metaphors, contrastive pairs, three-part lists, and religious and historical symbols, and interpreting their ideological roles. Results: The findings indicate that rhetorical devices are systematically used to reinforce ideological meanings, evoke emotional responses, and shape readers’ interpretations of political reality. These strategies demonstrate a strong relationship between linguistic choices and the construction of power and persuasion in literary discourses. Conclusions: The study concludes that rhetorical devices function as powerful tools for persuasion and ideological construction rather than merely stylistic features in political novels. Limitations: This research is limited to two novels and a qualitative interpretive approach, which may restrict broader generalization across different literary and cultural contexts. Contributions: This study contributes to discourse analysis and literary studies by emphasizing the importance of rhetorical language in shaping ideology and encouraging critical awareness among readers when interpreting political texts.

Abstract

Purpose: This study was to establish the comparative visibility of Rwanda’s official languages: English, French, and Kinyarwanda in public spaces and examine their relationship with classroom language practices in the urban districts of Nyarugenge, Gasabo, Kicukiro, Muhanga, and Musanze. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through systematic sampling of 600 street signs along selected routes and documentary analysis of language allocation in the curriculum. Results: The results showed that monolingual English signs were the most dominant, accounting for 239 (39.8%) signs, followed by English–Kinyarwanda bilingual signs with 181 (30.1%) and monolingual Kinyarwanda signs with 104 (17.3%). Trilingual signs accounted for 34 (5.6%), while French-only signs were the least visible, with 7 (1.1%). Overall, English accounted for 53.4% of the language occurrences, Kinyarwanda 38.0%, and French 8.6%. Curriculum analysis indicated that English and Kinyarwanda receive greater instructional time than French, although allocations vary across educational levels and subject combinations. Conclusions: English dominates Rwanda’s linguistic landscape, whereas Kinyarwanda requires further intellectualization to strengthen its role in education. Limitations: The study was limited to urban areas, which constrained its generalizability to rural settings. Contributions: This study contributes to linguistic landscape scholarship and language policy by demonstrating how language visibility reflects differentiated social, institutional, educational, and symbolic functions. The study recommends intellectualizing Kinyarwanda for use as a medium of instruction while teaching English and French as subjects to support international and regional communication.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate how Kashmiri oral narratives convey meaning through speech and various accompanying verbal, visual, and corporeal means of expression. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative and ethnographic research design, with fieldwork conducted in Kashmir. It involved three Kashmiri storytellers from Srinagar, Anantnag, and Baramulla. Two male storytellers aged approximately 68–70 years and one male storyteller aged approximately 55 years were included. Recordings focused on pitch, rhythm, pauses, repetition, gesture, facial expressions, etc. Results: The findings reveal that oral stories in Kashmir are multifaceted, involving multiple ways of expression. While gestures, facial expressions, and gaze reinforce meaning and communicate affect, variations in pitch, rhythm, and pauses contribute to emotional emphasis and narrative pacing. These findings suggest that conventional textual transcription alone cannot adequately represent the linguistic, paralinguistic, and visual dimensions of Kashmiri oral narratives. Conclusions: Thus, it is necessary to preserve Kashmiri oral narratives in an integrated manner using both transcription and video recording. This study contributes to the broader discussion of linguistic and cultural heritage. Limitations: The current research is limited by the availability of data, particularly in terms of the number of stories and storytellers, and the time required for the analysis. Contributions: This study contributes to multiple areas of research by emphasizing the value of linguistic and cultural heritage, specifically oral narratives. In addition, this work can benefit from being used by various institutions and individuals who are directly or indirectly involved in preserving the language.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how pilgrims perceive the presence of rumors during the Arbaeen pilgrimage in Karbala and how well crisis management deals with them. Methodology: A descriptive field survey was carried out with 50 pilgrims using a 50-item questionnaire on a five-point Likert scale. The items covered five dimensions, namely the reality of rumors, crisis management, rumor crisis management, the role of crisis management in reducing the impact of rumors, and personal behavior toward rumors. Data were analyzed with means, standard deviations, and item ranking. Results: The presence of rumors was rated as moderate (mean 2.66), with rumors about services and about the reputation of Karbala scoring highest. Crisis management (2.11), rumor crisis management (2.01), and the role of crisis management in reducing rumors (2.12) were rated low, while protective personal behavior was very low (1.74). The overall mean was 2.13. Conclusions: Respondents see a gap between the presence of rumors and the institutional response to them, especially in the speed and clarity of official information. Limitations: The small sample, the loss of organizer data, and the lack of reliability and inferential tests limit generalization. Contributions: The study offers field evidence on rumor management at one of the largest mass gatherings in the world and links it to crisis communication research.
