SELECTING EFFICIENT DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION STRATEGIES IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: A NOVEL FRACTAL FUZZY-BASED DECISION-MAKING PERSPECTIVE
Get PDFDigital transformation is increasingly viewed as a central mechanism for improving efficiency and service quality in public administration, yet public organizations often face difficulties in systematically prioritizing digital reform initiatives. The main challenge lies in evaluating alternative strategies under conditions of limited resources, institutional constraints, and uncertainty. Although the existing literature provides extensive discussions on digital government and public sector innovation, it offers relatively limited guidance on how decision makers can objectively compare and rank digital transformation strategies using integrated and transparent analytical frameworks. In response to this gap, this study aims to develop a comprehensive decision-making model to support the prioritization of digital transformation strategies that enhance public sector efficiency. The proposed hybrid framework integrates the COWEB technique for determining criteria importance, the RATGOS approach for ranking strategic alternatives, and generalized fractal fuzzy sets to more effectively manage ambiguity in expert judgments. Evaluation criteria and strategic alternatives are identified through a detailed literature review and expert consultations. The results indicate that implementation complexity is the most influential criterion, while the adoption of AI based public service applications represents the most effective strategy. The study provides original methodological contributions and practical insights to support feasible, consistent, and sustainable digital transformation decisions in public administration
LANGUAGE COMPETENCE AS A MULTIFACETED SET OF KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITIES
Get PDFLanguage competence constitutes a core component of successful foreign language acquisition and serves as a prerequisite for effective communication across various social, academic, and professional domains. It encompasses a systematic body of linguistic knowledge, including grammatical, lexical, and phonological elements, which enables learners to produce and comprehend language in accordance with normative standards. Language competence begins to develop with the acquisition of the native language and continues to evolve throughout an individual’s educational trajectory, particularly in multilingual contexts. In contemporary linguistic and pedagogical research, language competence is conceptualized as an integrated set of knowledge and skills that facilitate accurate and contextually appropriate language use in diverse communicative situations. The formation of language competence supports learners’ ability to construct coherent oral and written discourse and contributes to the development of communicative autonomy. Furthermore, a high level of language competence enhances cognitive processes, intercultural awareness, and academic performance. This study emphasizes the significance of structured instruction and purposeful practice in fostering language competence, highlighting its role as a foundational element in the development of overall communicative competence and effective second language learning
RESHAPING SHANGHAI\u27S MICRO-DRAMA ECOSYSTEM: INNOVATION AND CULTURAL IDENTITY IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Get PDFThis study explores the transformation of Shanghai’s micro-drama industry within the broader context of media ecology and cultural identity. Micro-dramas, short-form video content that blends narrative structures with algorithmic consumption patterns, have rapidly emerged as a dominant form of digital media in China. This research examines the ecological factors influencing the industry\u27s performance, such as policy support, technological advancements, and market competition, while also analyzing the role of symbolic narratives in constructing cultural identity. Through a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys (n=428) and qualitative interviews (n=23), the study reveals that Shanghai’s micro-drama industry faces the challenge of balancing high production costs with the demands of algorithmic distribution systems. The findings propose a strategic framework for innovation in the industry, emphasizing quality content, algorithmic adaptability, and cross-boundary integration. This research contributes to the academic understanding of media ecosystems and provides practical insights for industry practitioners and policymakers
REFRAMING THE RULE OF LAW INDEX IN THE AGE OF AI AND BIG DATA: IMPLICATIONS FOR GLOBAL STATE GOVERNANCE
Get PDFArtificial intelligence (AI) and big data are rapidly transforming the architecture and operation of contemporary state governance. In this evolving context, the Rule of Law Index developed by the World Justice Project (WJP) has become a central global benchmark for assessing legal integrity and governance quality. Yet the rise of data-driven and algorithmic decision-making systems poses profound challenges to the foundational principles of the rule of law in the digital age. This article critically examines how AI reshapes core rule-of-law dimensions—transparency, accountability, procedural fairness, and the protection of fundamental rights. While AI-enabled governance promises greater efficiency, consistency, and predictive capacity, algorithmic opacity, embedded bias, and diffused responsibility risk undermining legal certainty and democratic legitimacy. To reconcile innovation with legality, the study advances an integrated legal-technological governance framework grounded in human-centred rule-of-law values. It further argues for a methodological recalibration of the Rule of Law Index to capture the structural impact of digital technologies on governance performance. Such an approach offers a normative foundation for institutional reform in Vietnam and other developing jurisdictions navigating accelerated digital transformation
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO NON-MANIPULATION: A NEW FRONTIER OF PERSONALITY RIGHTS IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Get PDFThis article examines one of the most subtle yet profound transformations of contemporary Brazilian democracy: the gradual replacement of overt public deliberation by concealed forms of algorithmic governance, in which political microtargeting assumes a central role in electoral influence. This dynamic displaces the exercise of political freedom of expression from the shared public sphere into private and opaque circuits, where rational persuasion gives way to the calculated exploitation of behavioral predispositions and cognitive vulnerabilities. As a result, acute constitutional tensions emerge between freedom of expression, informational self-determination, and the very integrity of the democratic process, calling into question the normative foundations of the Democratic Rule of Law enshrined in the 1988 Federal Constitution. We argue that the preservation of Brazilian democracy requires the development of more robust legal instruments aimed at algorithmic accountability and the protection of the public sphere as a collective constitutional good. The research adopts a deductive methodological approach, grounded in an extensive review of both national and international scholarship, as well as a critical analysis of the Brazilian regulatory framework, with particular attention to the General Data Protection Law (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais) and electoral legislation. We find that the structural opacity of algorithmic systems employed in electoral campaigns significantly hinders social, administrative, and judicial oversight of these practices, thereby enabling sophisticated and diffuse forms of public opinion manipulation that frequently evade traditional mechanisms of legal accountability
Propriedade Equitativa da Terra em Comunidades de Direito Consuetudinário
Get PDFRESUMO
A construção de diversas instalações públicas e outras infraestruturas requer uma quantidade considerável de terras, variando em área dependendo das necessidades de uma região. Ao mesmo tempo que a população aumenta, a disponibilidade de terras diminui; e dado que o Estado não possui terras suficientes para a finalidade de construir as diversas instalações públicas e outras infraestruturas de interesse público acima mencionadas, torna-se necessário um esforço para a aquisição de terras destinadas a esses projetos. Para a implementação ordenada da aquisição de terras, o governo regulamenta este processo através do Artigo 18 da Lei Número 5 de 1960, relativa aos Regulamentos Básicos de Princípios Agrários (UUPA), que foi posteriormente complementada pela Lei Número 20 de 1961, relativa à Revogação de Direitos sobre a Terra e Objetos nela contidos. Subsequentemente, foi emitido o Regulamento do Ministro do Interior Número 15 de 1975, sobre as Disposições dos Procedimentos de Aquisição de Terras. De acordo com as questões jurídicas desta investigação, o tipo de pesquisa utilizado é a investigação jurídica normativa, que consiste num estudo que examina principalmente disposições de direito positivo, princípios jurídicos e doutrinas legais para responder às questões jurídicas enfrentadas. A investigação jurídica normativa é definida como um estudo que analisa tanto as normas legais positivas quanto os princípios do direito, explicando sistematicamente as disposições legais numa determinada categoria jurídica e analisando a relação entre elas. A conclusão que se pode extrair deste trabalho é que a segurança jurídica das terras consuetudinárias, que são objeto de aquisição de terras, deve ter os seus direitos protegidos por um quadro jurídico claro estabelecido pelos governos locais.
Palavras-chave: Propriedade da Terra, Justiça, Comunidade de Direito Consuetudinário.The construction of various public facilities and other infrastructure, requires a considerable amount of land and varies in area depending on the needs of an area, at the same time as the population increases, the less land is available, and because the State does not have land for the purpose of building various public facilities and other infrastructure for the public interest mentioned above, So an effort is needed to procure land for the construction of various public facilities and infrastructure. In the orderly implementation of land procurement, the government regulates land procurement, in Article 18 of Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning the Basic Regulations of Agrarian Principles (UUPA), which is further followed up with Law Number 20 of 1961 concerning the Revocation of Rights to Land and Objects on it. Subsequently, the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 15 of 1975 concerning Provisions on Land Acquisition Procedures was issued. According to the legal issues of this research, the type of research that will be used is normative legal research, which is a research that mainly examines positive legal provisions, legal principles, legal principles and legal doctrines to answer the legal issues faced. Definition Normative legal research is a study that examines both positive legal provisions and legal principles, by systematically explaining legal provisions in a certain legal category, analyzing the relationship between legal provisions. The answer that can be stated in this writing is that the legal certainty of customary land which is the object of land acquisition needs to be protected by its rights with a clear legal umbrella by local governments.RESUMO

EVALUATION OF GASTRONOMY TOURISM POTENTIAL OF SAKARYA PROVINCE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF SUSTAINABILITY
Get PDFThe aim of the study is to determine the gastronomy tourism potential of Sakarya province within the scope of sustainability. In order to determine the contribution of gastronomy tourism to the tourism potential of Sakarya province in a sustainable manner and to ensure its efficient contribution to the tourism activities of the province, it is aimed in the study to examine the thoughts and attitudes of the stakeholders involved in the tourism of Sakarya province regarding gastronomy tourism. Qualitative research method is used in the research to analyze the answers to the questions in depth and to have an idea about the perceptions, experiences, behaviors and attitudes of the participants. Within the scope of the research, interviews (semi-structured) were conducted with 15 participants (public and private sector) who are stakeholders of tourism in Sakarya province by using qualitative research method. In the study, a six-question interview form was used within the scope of the semi-structured interview technique. According to the findings, while associating gastronomy and gastronomy tourism with food, beverage, food culture, food science and local food, it is stated that gastronomy tourism has taken its place in tourism activities as a new type. All participants have knowledge about gastronomy and agree on the effectiveness of gastronomy tourism as a new type. The participants stated that the food establishments operating in Sakarya do not have local flavors in their menus due to the low demand, and that there are more standard foods. It has been understood that there are no local flavors in the menus of food establishments operating in Sakarya due to the low demand, but rather standard foods. It has been concluded that it is important in terms of gastronomy tourism to organize festivals in Sakarya province where gastronomy-related values will be highlighted and to ensure the national promotion of Sakarya local products. Although Sakarya province has many different values in gastronomy tourism, it has been determined that it is not at a sufficient level in terms of gastronomy tourism and suggestions have been made to overcome this deficiency and to create a sustainable gastronomy tourism
HABITS OF MIND, METACOGNITION, AND REFLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE: INTERRELATIONS AND PREDICTIVE ROLES AMONG SOHAR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Get PDFThe present study investigates how habits of mind and metacognition are related to and predict reflective intelligence among undergraduate students at Sohar University, Oman. The concept is based on Costa’s hierarchy of thinking and Perkins’s triarchic view of intelligence. This research defined habits of mind as productive dispositions, metacognition as awareness and regulation of thinking, and reflective intelligence as a meta-level capacity to orchestrate mental resources in complex tasks. A sample of 179 students drawn from the Faculty of Education and Arts completed three instruments. A Habits of Mind Scale developed by the researchers, the Metacognition Self-Assessment Scale (MSAS), and Al Cody et al., 2025’s Reflective Intelligence Scale. Descriptive results revealed medium-to-high levels on all three constructs. Pearson correlations revealed a very strong, positive, and statistically significant association among habits of mind, metacognition, and reflective intelligence (r = 0.86-.93). Multiple regression showed that together, habits of mind and metacognition accounted for approximately 84% of the variance in reflective intelligence; yet only habits of mind emerged as a significant independent predictor when both were entered into the model. The present results support integrated models that position intelligent dispositions, metacognitive regulation, and reflective intelligence as interlinked higher-order thinking, emphasizing habits of mind as a nodal construct that interlinks metacognitive awareness with reflective performance. The study offers new evidence from a Gulf context in higher education to suggest that in any university curricula, especially in teacher preparation, the systematic development of habits of mind may offer a strong lever in developing reflective, self-regulated learners across 21st-century educational goals
CULTURAL HERITAGE OF MOUNT RUDNIK AND TOURISM
Get PDFObjectives: This study highlights the rich cultural‑historical heritage of Mount Rudnik and examines how it can strengthen Central Serbia’s tourism offer. Theoretical Framework: Drawing on cultural‑tourism theory, heritage valorisation and destination branding, the work situates Rudnik within contemporary debates on mountain destinations in post‑transition economies. Method: We employed a descriptive‑analytical method combining desk research, field surveys and analysis of official tourism statistics between 2000 and 2022. Results & Discussion: Rudnik contains dozens of archaeological sites, medieval fortifications, sacral monuments and vernacular structures. Visitor numbers peaked in 2008 but remain seasonal, signalling unexploited capacity and a need for product diversification. Implications: Findings guide local authorities and tourism organisations in prioritising conservation, interpretation and event programming to extend stays and balance seasonality. Originality/Value: The paper systematises dispersed Serbian‑language evidence, providing the first English baseline for further research and destination planning
