The sweeping rise of new technologies has allowed for the normalization of digital tools and devices as powerful modes of communication and transmission of cultures, lifestyles, languages, texts, and power relations. Communication has definitely and irreversibly taken on a new turn/trajectory in cyberspace, where people have transferred their offline activities, experiences, interactions, and socialization. Cyberspace is a vast, open, and malleable space that gives momentum to human communication and velocity to the multi-layered process of transmission. Cyberspace, as an electronic and digital landscape, is widely used to create, share, and transmit information. It also contributes to storing information to enhance and extend human memory. The power dynamics of cyberspace manifest in its ability to extend human memory, empower communication, and globalize transmission. The fluid and constantly streaming aspect of cyberspace allows the free flow of ideas, texts, artefacts, knowledge, narratives, arts, cultural heritage, and identities, to cite but a few. By subsuming all these social, cultural, and epistemological actions, cyberspace has fostered a new culture, cyberculture. The French scholar Pierre Lévy defines cyberculture “as a set of material and intellectual techniques: practices, attitudes, modes of thinking and values that have developed alongside the growth of cyberspace. Understood as a synonym for ‘network,’ cyberculture offers a new medium of communication…” (Qtd. in Teixeira et al, 2017). Cyberspace provides multiple virtual platforms where various forms of culture are being stored and transmitted. Both cyberspace and cyberculture have become new digital paradigms that could be conceptualized as semiotic signifiers of the new society, hosting collective intelligence and providing electronic venues/spaces to empower/sustain local cultures and identities. The fact that cyberspace combines audio-visual, textual, and graphic materials can amply facilitate the transmission and the development of local and national cultures, oral or written. This paper is, then, a theoretical attempt at showcasing the potential of cyberspace and cyberculture to communicate, transmit, and empower local and national cultures and identities through the multiple platforms that digital technologies offer to the new society, which, at the same time, could reflect power relations.
新技术的迅猛发展使数字工具和设备成为文化、生活方式、语言、文本和权力关系的强大交流和传播方式。在网络空间，人们将线下活动、经验、互动和社交转移到网络空间，传播无疑不可逆转地出现了新的转折/轨迹。网络空间是一个广阔、开放、可塑性强的空间，它为人类传播提供了动力，为多层次的传播过程提供了速度。网络空间作为一种电子和数字景观，被广泛用于创造、共享和传输信息。它还有助于存储信息，增强和扩展人类记忆。网络空间的动力体现在其扩展人类记忆、增强交流能力和全球化传播的能力上。网络空间的流动性和持续性使思想、文本、手工艺品、知识、叙事、艺术、文化遗产和身份等得以自由流动。通过将所有这些社会、文化和认识论行为纳入其中，网络空间孕育了一种新的文化--网络文化。法国学者皮埃尔-莱维（Pierre Lévy）将网络文化定义为 "一整套物质和知识技术：随着网络空间的发展而发展起来的实践、态度、思维模式和价值观。作为'网络'的同义词，网络文化提供了一种新的交流媒介......"（转引自 Teixeira et al, 2017）。网络空间提供了多种虚拟平台，各种形式的文化在此存储和传播。网络空间和网络文化都已成为新的数字范式，可被概念化为新社会的符号标志，承载集体智慧，提供电子场所/空间，以增强/维持地方文化和身份认同。网络空间集视听、文字和图片资料于一体，可以充分促进地方和民族文化（口头或书面）的传播和发展。因此，本文是一次理论尝试，旨在展示网络空间和网络文化的潜力，通过数字技术为新社会提供的多种平台，交流、传播并增强地方和民族文化与身份认同的能力。

In the defense of food hygiene and safety, the news media plays the role of information dissemination, social supervision, and call and guidance. The health problem of “Earth pit pickled cabbage” exposed by the 2022 CCTV “315” gala has caused a stir in public opinion and social influence. This paper analyzes in depth how enterprises analyze the framework of media reporting to construct the impact on public sentiment and behavior to develop and optimize management strategies. This paper adopts the content analysis method and adopts the “general framework theory” to analyze the framework of news reports. The research has found that different news reporting frameworks have different focuses on communication content, which has guided the public's diversified emotional responses, and enterprises can develop targeted coping strategies through analysis. Finally, the crisis management strategy and management optimization opinions were formulated through the “PPRR” theoretical model and the SWOT analysis of specific enterprise cases. This paper emphasizes the key role of communication in enterprise crisis communication and management and hopes that the media communication framework can be analyzed to help enterprises to respond quickly and effectively to the current challenges of the crisis in the critical stage of the crisis and restore and rebuild the corporate reputation in the crisis.

The present study has been conducted in a concise and realistic manner around the factors of the Cold War. The Cold War has distant and close factors that originate from the early twentieth century (Bolshevik Revolution) and during World War II due to the continuation of distrust between East and West blocs, the issues of disagreement remained in ambiguity immediately after the end of the war, the wartime alliance was lifted, and relations between Western powers and the communist bloc of Eastern Europe became tense and hostile, and the atmosphere of the Cold War emerged. The importance of this research is that in this period, the blocs had intense propaganda but avoided face-to-face wars. This research aims to investigate the emergence of factors of the Cold War that emerged from within the Allied Union of World War II, based on an ideological and superior approach of new powers. The reasons for the emergence of the Cold War were a complex and less researched issue. This is library-based research (analytical, descriptive, and historical explanation). The findings of this research show that the Cold War was an inevitable phenomenon in a turbulent and complex period after World War II, which resulted from grounds such as the collapse and disintegration of countries, power vacuums, ideological competition, extensive reconstruction programs, proxy wars, and political competition. Unless based on the existence of various weapons of mass destruction, they never did anything that would lead to an actual war.

The objective of this study is to conduct an analysis of gender representation within the Information Technology (IT) school textbook utilized in Grade 1 across all public schools in Oman. The investigation of categories such as images, names, and gender firstness is commonly conducted using quantitative and qualitative content analysis. The study findings indicate that the IT school textbook utilized in Grade 1 demonstrates gender balance and equality. The textbook exhibited a nearly equal representation of males and females, both in terms of quantity and quality. The outcomes of the study also indicate that females exhibited greater visibility compared to males in the areas pertaining to images, names, and gender precedence in terms of speaking order. On the other hand, males exhibited a higher level of visibility within the gender-firstness category, which pertains to the order in which individuals are depicted in images. Overall, the school textbook demonstrated an equitable and unbiased portrayal of both genders. The results of the current investigation are expected to serve as a catalyst for authors to generate educational materials that exhibit a more equitable representation of genders within the school curriculum.

Environmental damage due to tin mining, which is not accompanied by environmental preservation in Juru Seberang Village, Belitung Regency, results in drastic changes in physical and chemical properties, including loss of vegetation and potential land degradation which can result in soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, reduced habitat for wild animals and increasing the vulnerability of coastal communities requires strategies to strengthen Ecological Citizenship through forest and land rehabilitation. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection techniques are done through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis techniques are carried out by collecting data, reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that the strategy for strengthening ecological citizenship designed by the Seberang Bersatu Community Forest (HKm) is to provide activities and programs that prioritize educational, conservation, and tourism values. Inhibiting and supporting factors in achieving the strengthening strategy lie in natural factors and community participation.

Islamic law places a paramount emphasis on safeguarding wealth and preserving it from loss, and it deems its preservation as one of the objectives of Sharia. Islamic law views wealth in a general sense and regards unexplained surplus wealth from a humanitarian perspective. The aim is to elucidate the comprehensiveness, adaptability, and relevance of Islamic Sharia, demonstrating its capability to address contemporary needs by providing rulings that uphold benefits, prevent harm, and contribute to enlightening people about the principles of wealth preservation. Contemporary and emerging issues are numerous and require clarification of their legal rulings, particularly new forms such as the treatment of abandoned funds in customs, the status of deposits in commercial banks, the handling of profits in banks with unknown owners, funds in the possession of money changers, and those held in exchange centers. These issues fall under the purview of Islamic jurisprudence, akin to the concept of "lost property," due to their significant importance in jurisprudential deliberations and contemporary practical applications. The resultant conclusion is that surplus funds of unknown origin are treated akin to lost property. Contemporary and emerging matters necessitate a legal ruling, and if the owner of such funds cannot be found, they are generally allocated to charitable causes, which are broader than the concept of Muslim interests. These causes encompass various charitable endeavors, such as aiding the poor and constructing mosques, as they are considered avenues of charity.

Over the decades, the normative approach has been considered as the decisive external policy gear of the EU. But, the limitation of the policy divulges its future application to an external country, promoting the question: Is the EU a normative power, or has it failed to implement its normative policy towards an external country? This paper aims to analyze the normative strategy of the EU and its constraints during the first and second Russia-Chechen conflicts. It investigated the EU normative policy regarding the conflicts and revealed the strategic chemistry of the EU-Russia relation, which fluctuated from time to time. It argues the EU normative discourses toward conflicts were sporadic in character and consisted of verbal and, at best, some written criticisms occasionally. Predominantly, The EU largely disregards the application of its normative values to the Chechen case; instead, it prioritizes its economic and bilateral relations with Russia. However, the 9/11 incident in the USA and the post 9/11 Russian hostage crisis developed the EU normative policy as a less important policy for Chechen conflicts.

As an important junction on the ancient Silk Road in China, Dunhuang's historical remains reflect the social order, social life, and social values of that time. To study the funeral customs and concepts in ancient Dunhuang, this paper analyzed the funeral customs by examining Dunhuang murals and a substantial amount of literature searching related essays online. In particular, the text compares and relates the funeral practices of ethnic minorities and the Han Chinese. It is found that the evolution of funeral customs in Dunhuang reflects the characteristics of the concept of all-in-one pluralism, representing a unified approach to diversity and inclusion. In this region of Dunhuang, the funeral customs observed include not only those derived from Taoism and Confucianism, which were the dominant religious traditions among the Han Chinese, but also those derived from Zoroastrianism, which was practiced by the ethnic minorities, as well as from exotic forms of Buddhism. This means that different regions and religions constantly fused and were absorbed into one another in Dunhuang, eventually becoming part of the excellent traditional Chinese culture. This demonstrates that different cultures can exist within a given practice, not only without mutual exclusion but also by displaying different characteristics.

Preservice training has always been an essential part of the professional life of every teacher. It is considered a significant period in which trainee teachers are provided with the necessary competencies that are vital before entering their classrooms. One of which is knowledge regarding intercultural communicative competence. This paper primarily aims to investigate the level of intercultural communicative competence of the preservice EFL teachers at the CRMEF of the region of Fes-Meknes. To achieve the purpose of this study, the trainee teachers’ ICC level is identified by using Byram’s (1997) model of ICC through a questionnaire, and their attitudes towards this competence and the role of the CRMEF in its development are found out through a semi-structured interview. This study employs a mixed-method approach. Moreover, the study collects the data using two methods such as 1) a questionnaire and 2) a semi-structured interview, with a sample of 117 trainee teachers from two training centres (CRMEF Region Fes - Meknes). The results of the study reveal that the trainee teachers have a fairly high to average ICC level. According to the findings, the trainee teachers believe that ICC is very significant in ELT and they show positive attitudes accordingly, even though there is no presence of IC at the CRMEF. Finally, the results may offer clear feedback to the trainers about trainee teachers’ ICC levels.

According to the findings, the trainee teachers believe that ICC is very significant in ELT and they show positive attitudes accordingly, even though there is no presence of IC at the CRMEF. Finally, the results may offer clear feedback to the trainers about trainee teachers’ ICC levels.","PeriodicalId":431386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140244437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Batik is one of Indonesia's most iconic cultural heritages. Batik is a patterned cloth made using tie-dye or printing techniques. Batik has a long history and has been part of Indonesian culture for centuries. This research aims to analyze the legal protection of batik as a cultural heritage in Indonesia from the perspective of intellectual property rights. This research uses normative juridical research methods. The data collection technique in this research is a literature study. The data that has been collected is then analyzed in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusion. The research results show that Batik is one of the works protected by law and contained in Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. This shows an effort to recognize, protect and promote batik as an inseparable part of Indonesian cultural identity. However, there are still challenges in maintaining authenticity and protecting and promoting batik, especially related to piracy practices and the protection of batik copyright.
