Journal of Dentomaxillofacial Science

Objective: Mild anterior crowding associated with a gummy smile often requires an interdisciplinary approach to achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes, especially when treatment time is limited. This report aims to present a synergistic orthodontic and prosthodontic strategy using clear aligners followed by veneer placement.

Case Report: A 23-year-old woman sought a rapid smile makeover before participating in a national beauty pageant. Clinical findings included mild maxillary anterior crowding and excessive gingival display, exacerbated by an unconscious habit of raising the upper lip during smiling. Orthodontic treatment included using aligners limited to the maxillary arch to maintain stable occlusion and meet the …

Algorithmic Management At Work: Collective Rights And Eu Regulatory Responses, Mariapaola Aimo, Laura Tebano

Comparative Labor Law & Policy Journal

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the evolving European regulatory framework concerning Artificial Intelligence and Algorithmic Management in the workplace, focusing on the protection of workers’ collective rights. It first examines the Artificial Intelligence Act, arguing that its product-oriented and risk-based approach inadequately addresses workplace power imbalances. Although employment-related AI is classified as “high risk,” the Artificial Intelligence Act merely grants workers’ representatives a right to information, without ensuring consultation, and reveals a democratic deficit in the implementation phase, where technical standards are shaped by private interests. We then argue that traditional information-and-consultation mechanisms offer limited protection and are …

A Communication-Process-Centered (Cpc) Approach To Intercultural Communication Education, Yanrong (Yvonne) Chang, Dora E. Saavedra

Communication Faculty Publications

Purpose: In response to a call to seek renewed purpose and new conceptualizations for intercultural communication education (ICE) (Dervin and Tournebise, 2013), the purpose of this conceptual paper is to critiquee limited traditional models of ICE and to propose, explain and argue for a communication-process-centered (CPC) approach to the field. The proposed CPC framework emphasizes dynamic conceptualizations of culture, identity, and interaction as fluid processes rather than static traits.

Design/methodology/approach: The paper describes anticipated learning outcomes of the CPC approach and advocates for the use of ethnographic methods in classroom teaching. It provides practical ways for applying these methods …

Negotiation And Politeness Strategies: Pragmatic Functions Of The Sentence-Final Particle Ba In Chinese Textbook Dialogues, Hatmi Idris

Multikultura

The sentence-final particle ba is frequently used in Chinese, yet its pragmatic functions in bargaining contexts remain challenging for second-language learners. This study investigates the use of ba in negotiation dialogues from the Hànyǔ Jiàochéng textbook series (Units 1 and 2), focusing on its role in maintaining politeness, protecting face, and facilitating agreement between interlocutors. Using a qualitative approach, each instance of ba was identified and analysed with reference to speech act theory, politeness principles, and the concept of face-threatening acts. The findings reveal that bastrengthens the speaker’s illocutionary force while mitigating potential discourtesy, reducing interactional tension, and providing …

Ideologi Di Balik Pidato Kenegaraan Peringatan Masirat Al-Hadraa Ke-49, Muhammad Sidqon Siroj

Multikultura

This study examines the 49th anniversary speech of the Green March (Masirat Al-Hadraa) as an ideological instrument within the political framework of the Kingdom of Morocco. The research reveals that the historical narrative of the Green March is reproduced not merely as collective memory, but as a strategic mechanism to consolidate monarchical legitimacy and assert territorial sovereignty over Western Sahara. Utilizing a qualitative methodology grounded in Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the findings demonstrate that King Mohammed VI’s discourse serves three primary functions: first, reinforcing the monarchy’s historical-religious and institutional authority amidst domestic and regional political pressures; second, …

Historical Methods Of Constitutional Interpretation And Political Gradations, Nelson Tebbe

Texas A&M Law Review

In this symposium Essay, I explore the hypothesis that as constitutional politics have become more assertive, historical methods of interpretation have become more prominent. In other words, the claim I would like to test is that the intensification of constitutional politics and the prominence of historical argument are correlated. Moreover, the relationship between the two appears to be linear. As arguments become bolder, they are more likely to deploy history as a method of interpretation. That proposition may seem counterintuitive, and it is intriguing.

Hermeneutics In History, John Fabian Witt

Texas A&M Law Review

Lawyers sometimes ask about the place of history in legal or constitutional interpretation. Historians typically ask a different question. The historians’ inquiry is more often about the place of a phenomenon, like interpretation in history, not vice versa. Constitutional interpretation is itself a historical practice, with particular, changing, and contingent political structures. It is driven by relatively autonomous forces such as war, natural disaster, social mobilizations, migrations and exclusions, economic transformations, and more, all of which shape and condition lawyers’ interpretive projects. If we put interpretation in history, rather than the other way around, then interpretation and (by extension) constitutional …

Why Constitutional Argument Matters, Philip Bobbitt

Texas A&M Law Review

The program for this symposium promised that I would be discussing the “descriptive grammar of constitutional law.” To put my purpose less benignly, I should say that I mean to attack the practice of limiting what I will call “modal analysis” to its descriptive virtues. Part of that attack will be the claim that courts and their commentators should pay closer attention to the modal requirements of the fundamental forms of constitutional discourse, but not because straying from this is a kind of grammatical faux pas. After all, if the system I have urged for constitutional analysis—the system of …

The Bankruptcy Judge And The Generalist Tradition, Alexander Gouzoules

BYU Law Review

The prevailing academic consensus is that bankruptcy judges are specialists presiding over specialized courts. This Article contends that this description is incomplete and, in some respects, inaccurate. Drawing on scholarly models of judicial specialization and historical surveys of the field, this Article contends that bankruptcy judges reflect a hybrid design choice: procedural specialization combined with substantive generalism. This model delivers many of the observed benefits of judicial specialization (including efficiency and technical competence) while preserving the cross-pollination of ideas and other benefits associated with the generalist tradition of American judging.

This Article also reflects on contemporary developments—most notably the rise …

The Influence Of Transformational Leadership, Achievement Motivation, And Organizational Culture On Teachers’ Learning Innovation: A Quantitative Study In Public Senior High Schools, Dewi Nur Cahyaningrum, Yovitha Yulijantiningsih, Supriyono Supriyono

Journal of ICSAR

This study analyzes the influence of transformational leadership, achievement motivation, and organizational culture on teachers’ learning innovation in public senior high schools in Jepara Regency. Using a quantitative survey involving 215 teachers, multiple regression analysis was employed to examine both partial and simultaneous effects. The results show that transformational leadership (β = 0.421; p < 0.001), achievement motivation (β = 0.367; p < 0.001), and organizational culture (β = 0.298; p < 0.001) significantly affect teachers’ learning innovation. Collectively, the three variables explain a substantial proportion of variance in learning innovation (R² = 0.612). In this study, learning innovation is defined to include inclusive teaching practices, the use of accessible digital tools, differentiated instruction, and adaptive strategies that support students with diverse learning needs, including those with disabilities. The findings therefore highlight that pedagogical innovation does not only involve creativity and technology integration but also the development of equitable and disability-responsive learning environments. The study underscores that inclusive learning innovation emerges from the synergy of strong transformational leadership, high teacher motivation, and a school culture committed to accessibility and collaboration. These findings provide important implications for educational leaders and policymakers, calling for the strengthening of inclusive leadership capacity, the cultivation of disability-sensitive school cultures, and the enhancement of teacher motivation to promote equitable instructional reform.

Development Of A Teacher–Parent Collaborative Learning Model Through Musical Drama For Enhancing Early Childhood Creativity, Anastasia Tuty Harminanti, Arri Handayani, Anita Chandra Dewi

Journal of ICSAR

Early childhood education plays a crucial role in fostering children’s creativity during the formative years. However, learning activities that systematically integrate teacher–parent collaboration with arts-based approaches remain limited in early childhood education settings. This study aimed to develop a collaborative learning module involving teachers and parents through musical drama to enhance early childhood creativity at Pelangi Kasih Kindergarten. The study employed a research and development (R&D) design consisting of needs analysis, product design, development, expert validation, practicality testing, and limited effectiveness testing. The module was validated by a material expert and a media expert, followed by practicality tests involving teachers …

Interaction Of Deaf Students With Hearing Peers In Inclusive Elementary Schools: A Phenomenological Study, Anfal Zaeni Noor, Sriyanto Sriyanto

Journal of ICSAR

The interaction of disabilities with their peers in inclusive elementary schools is a critical dimension of social and emotional development, yet existing research has largely emphasized communication barriers or institutional readiness rather than students’ lived communicative experiences. This study examines how a deaf student constructs and negotiates communication with peers in an inclusive elementary school context. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, the study involved one deaf student, hearing peers, parents, and a homeroom teacher. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that communication was predominantly mediated through spontaneous, …

International Review of Humanities Studies

This study examines the deconstruction of female gender stereotypes through the character Yuna in the game Ghost of Tsushima. The analysis employs a qualitative approach that explores narrative, visual, and gameplay aspects. The theoretical framework draws on Judith Butler’s gender performativity, Marie-Laure Ryan’s digital narrative theory, and Stuart Hall’s representation theory to identify forms of resistance to traditional gender norms reflected in the game industry. The findings indicate that Yuna emerges as an active agent who influences the protagonist’s ideological development, plays a significant role in shaping the overall narrative direction, and avoids visual objectification. This study is expected …

Reinterpreting The Kutika Manuscript: A Buginese Ethnoecological Perspective, Rahmatia Ayu Widyaningrum, Priscila Fitriasih Limbong, Titik Pudjiastuti, Mamlahatun -. Buduroh -

International Review of Humanities Studies

This article offers a reinterpretation of the Kutika manuscript from a Buginese ethnoecological perspective. Departing from a philological study of the Lontara’ Kutika text in the National Library of Indonesia (PNRI) collection (code VT 129), this research examines how Buginese communities articulate their interaction with nature through this manuscript. The Kutika text has generally been understood merely as a book of time calculation, yet its background is imbued with philosophical values that show how the Buginese talk to nature, read signs, and treat nature as an equal element rather than a mere object. Using the framework of human ecology, this …

Right-Wing French Media Coverage Of The Rassemblement National’S 2027 Presidential Candidates, Amelinda Sundari, Myrna Laksman-Huntley

International Review of Humanities Studies

The 2027 French presidential election has become a contest over political legitimacy, and the media play a key role in shaping candidates’ images. Within the right-wing camp, Rassemblement National (RN) presents two potential figures, Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella. Le Pen faces legal threats that could prevent her candidacy, while Bardella is projected as a successor to represent RN in the contest. Drawing on framing theory Pan & Kosicki (1993) and Critical Discourse Analysis Fairclough (1995), this qualitative study investigates right-wing French media preferences between these two candidates. The analysis examines three articles each from Le Figaro and Le …
