THE MAGIC CODE IN IMRON WAHRID HARITS: THE ADVENTURE OF DINOKI AND DINOKO, 2022

This study explores Imron Wakhid Harits's The Adventure of Dinoki and Dinoko (2022) using four primary approaches to children's literature: text-oriented, reality-oriented (mimetic), author-oriented, and reader-response models. The framework that this study is based on was developed by Maria Nikolajeva. In terms of the plot, the movie is centered on a mission to rescue elephants from ivory smugglers, and it follows a home-away-home pattern that is reminiscent of Vladimir Propp's personality. The research establishes a connection between the primary and secondary worlds by incorporating elements of the supernatural with the actual environment of Indonesia. It is a wonderful piece of writing since it contains connections to traditional animal and jungle mythology. According to the findings of the study, the book is a contribution to a contemporary trend in children's reading that integrates learning, socializing, and creative expression. Friendship, moral responsibility, environmental consciousness, and personal development are some of the topics that are emphasized throughout

HUIQIN WANG: SLOVENIAN-CHINESE ILLUSTRATOR AND AUTHOR OF A MULTICULTURAL AND MULTILINGUAL PICTUREBOOKS TETRALOGY

This study presents a hermeneutic analysis of four major picturebooks by Slovenian-Chinese artist-scholar Huiqin Wang. It positions her authorial trilogy (Ferdinand Avguštin Hallerstein, Giuseppe Castiglione, and I, Marco Polo) as a cohesive model of "individualised universality" for narrating historical East-West encounters, while examining the collaborative Little Alma on a Great Journey as a distinct expansion into psychological interiority. Drawing on frameworks from picturebook theory (Nikolajeva & Scott, 2006), chronotopic analysis (Bakhtin, 1981), and cultural memory studies (Juvan, 2008), this study argues that Wang's multilingual, multigenre works constitute sophisticated artistic research functioning as polysemic instruments of cultural translation. Her work "worlds" Slovenian historical figures within the global imagination by mapping the spatial, temporal, and emotional coordinates of cross-cultural subjects. Wang's tetralogy represents a significant contribution to visual narratology and Slovenia's literary heritage

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF TETOVA DURING THE PERIOD 2020–2025: A LEGAL AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

Violence against women remains one of the most serious violations of fundamental human rights and an important social, legal, and public health concern [1,7]. This study examines physical violence against women in the Municipality of Tetova from 2020–2025 through legal and statistical analysis. The research is based on official institutional data obtained from the Ministry of Interior, the State Statistical Office, and relevant social welfare institutions, as well as legal acts, including the Criminal Code and the Law on Prevention and Protection from Violence against Women and Domestic Violence [6,8]. The findings indicate that women represented the majority of victims in reported domestic violence cases. Physical violence, often accompanied by psychological abuse, remains the most frequently reported form of violence. A notable increase in reported cases was observed in 2022, followed by relative stabilization in subsequent years. Although North Macedonia has significantly harmonized its legal framework with international standards, important challenges remain in practical implementation, including early reporting, victim protection, and institutional coordination [7,9]. The study concludes that stronger preventive policies, more effective institutional cooperation, and increased public awareness are essential for the long-term reduction of violence against women in the Tetova region

THE AGREEMENT ON THE CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION OF GUILT AND SENTENCING: A THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE

The institution of the agreement on the conditions of admission of guilt and determination of punishment is a relatively new mechanism, introduced for the first time in the Albanian Criminal Procedure Code in 2017 as part of the essential changes brought by justice reform. This procedural institute is regulated in articles 406/d–406/f of the Code, which set out in detail the procedural rules that must be observed. The process begins with the agreement reached between the prosecutor and the defendant and continues until the court hearing of the prosecutor’s request for approval. The analysis of these provisions from a theoretical perspective provides insight into the real value of these procedural innovations. Equally important is the examination of judicial practice, which highlights how this institute has been implemented in practice. This study aims to be comprehensive and professional, presenting findings, reflections, recommendations, suggestions, and possible solutions to identified problems, all supported by logical and legal arguments

EARLY SOURCES OF PHILATELY - A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FRIST PROFESSIONAL PHILATELIC JOURNALS

Stamp collecting is not merely a hobby, but an interdisciplinary activity with its own rules, theoretical and historical context, and scientific—or at least quasi-scientific—nature.  Philately is now not merely a field of collecting, but primarily an auxiliary science of history, since the postage stamp is not merely a collectible type of document, but a primary historical source.  As a quasi-scientific field, philately also has its own specialized press, with professional journals dating back to the second half of the 19th century.  This brief research article examines the early sources of philately—the first European philatelic journals of the 19th century—in a comparative context, seeking to situate the history of stamp collecting within a broader context of cultural studies and the history of civilization

PREFIXATION IN ENGLISH: STRUCTURE, MEANING, AND MORPHOLOGICAL FUNCTION

The paper focuses on prefixation, which is a key process in word formation in the English language. The process of prefixation significantly contributes to the lexical content of language, as it alters a radical's meaning but typically maintains its grammatical category. This study seeks to investigate English prefix semantics, productivity, and structure in current language use. It is an analytical synthesis of significant morphological studies delivered as major extracts from white papers based on major frameworks (e.g., Quirk’s 1972 semantic classification). The study primarily addresses productive living prefixes of Latin and Greek descent and, to a lesser extent, host-given English prefixes and their structural behavior. Prefixes are analyzed according to their semantic functions: negation, reversal, pejoration, degree or intensity, attitude (in terms of positive/negative), spatial orientation (e.g., over, away), temporal reference (e.g., pre-, post-), and numerical value. It also illustrates that prefixation displays such a strong degree of semantic versatility and morphological productivity as to account for much lexical innovation in contemporary English. This paper proposes a function-focused and theoretically grounded account of prefixation as an active mechanism of word formation, in which it organizes prefixes into a coherent semantic frame and tests their functional variation through exemplifying the functional profile for illustrative suffixes

MEGAREMENG AND OTHER ANTOLOGY OF THE SHORT STORY AS THE REFLECTION OF MADURESE IDENTITY AND CULTURE IN MADURA ISLAND

This research examines the aspects of the culture, tradition, and historical background of the tales entitled "Megaremeng" and other tales. This analysis utilized the tales due to their strong representation of Madura culture, tradition, and historical background. To collect data, ethnographic research was conducted through interviews with stakeholders from Sumenep to obtain original information. Then, the data was rewritten with the principles of children's literature by adding any conflicts and illustrations to attract the readers to read the tales. The flying horse, or Megaremeng, was closely related with the society in Sumenep, as proof it is used as the emblem of the city until today. It means Mearemeng was told orally from one generation to the next. As the ride of the king, Megaremeng was trusted by the society that still exists. It can be found in the gravestone of two Sumenep noble’s family today, and also it was in the Sumenep museum in front of the Sumenep or Songenep palace. The identity of Sumenep and Madura was also depicted in Joko Thole’s custom with a traditional Madura shirt; thus, it can have brought the readers' imagination into the reality

THE FRAGMENTED SELF AND MODERNIST EXPERIMENTATION IN VIRGINIA WOOLF’S MRS DALLOWAY

This article explores Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway (1925) as a seminal work of literary modernism that interrogates the fractured nature of identity in the aftermath of World War I. Through a dual focus on Clarissa Dalloway and Septimus Warren Smith, the novel examines the tensions between interior experience and social expectation, memory and temporality, conformity and collapse. Woolf’s use of stream of consciousness, nonlinear narrative, and shifting perspectives allows for an intimate portrayal of psychological disintegration and emotional resilience. Drawing on psychoanalytic, philosophical, and socio-political frameworks, the analysis reveals how Woolf critiques institutional power, medical authority, and class hierarchy while proposing an alternative aesthetic rooted in impression and subjectivity. Ultimately, Mrs Dalloway articulates a vision of the modern self as contingent, relational, and continually shaped by both historical trauma and fleeting moments of insight

ON THE SEMANTIC DESCRIPTION OF LITERARY TERMS IN EXPLANATORY DICTIONARIES OF THE UZBEK LANGUAGE

The article discusses research conducted in the terminology of the field and various views on the semantic characteristics of terms. In particular, the semantic description of literary terms given in the "Explanatory Dictionary of the Uzbek Language" is discussed, and it is emphasized that the lexicographical description of literary terms and their correct presentation in dictionaries contribute to the development of the language of the field of science, the improvement of the terminological system, the improvement of the quality of education and training, and the effectiveness of scientific and practical activities

Evaluating the Effectiveness of a One-Week English Training Program for University Employees in Iraq

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a one-week English language training program designed for newly employed staff at Al-Qadisiyah University, as mandated by the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education. The program aimed to enhance the functional English skills necessary for academic and workplace communication. A structured questionnaire was distributed to 180 participants, with 90 valid responses collected and analyzed. The survey incorporated elements from Constructivist Learning Theory, Second Language Acquisition (SLA) Theory, and principles of Effective Program Design to assess learner engagement, content relevance, instructional methods, and learning outcomes. Results indicate that participants reported noticeable improvement in their English proficiency, particularly in speaking and listening, and expressed positive perceptions regarding the interactive and practical nature of the course. However, challenges such as limited training duration and insufficient time for skill-specific focus were also noted. The findings provide evidence for the program’s potential impact and offer insights for improving future language training initiatives in Iraqi higher education institutions
