The discussions around the benefits of implementing artificial intelligence or AI have been quite lively today. AI has been benefiting organizations with increased efficiencies, enhanced decision-making, cost reductions, and improved consumer experiences. Rather, it has been opening newer opportunities day by day. However, AI implementation across organizations has never been an easy job. The contribution of AI in strategic change management within organizations, however, is meeting several challenges. Employees within an organization resist technological adaptations due to the fear of losing their jobs. Some are under the threat that they are unfamiliar with the technology, and this could severely impact their growth in the organization. A few challenges are ethical and privacy concerns, integrating AI with the current organizational system, skill gaps, and understanding what its capabilities and limitations are. In this paper, the researchers discuss AI’s role in driving strategic change management. They are curious to understand how AI entered the organizational realm and is driving an impressive change in management culture. The researchers of this present study believe that this piece of work will serve as a basis for the upcoming researchers in understanding how AI is supporting ethical and sustainable organizational practices.

This paper explores the implementation of ternary (base-3) logic systems using global internet latency as a novel computational substrate. We present a theoretical framework, experimental methodology, and detailed results for a Ternary Internet Computer (TIC) that encodes computational states within the temporal behavior of networked IP addresses. Our findings demonstrate that this approach can reliably simulate basic logic operations and implement a simple perceptron capable of learning the XOR function. Through rigorous statistical analysis across multiple trials, we show that while network latency introduces variability, our redundancy mechanisms yield reproducible computational results. This work contributes to the growing field of unconventional computing by demonstrating how distributed network properties can be harnessed for non-binary computation.

This work presents the history, fundamental principles, and various social, economic, and political conditions that provide insight into the understanding of sociology, reflecting the vast diversity of thinkers and formulators who have contributed to its development. Through this exploration, the aim is to discern the diverse social dynamics that precede human actions, thoughts, and relationships, promoting a profound reflection on the human condition and society. The essay emphasizes the significant role played by key references, showcasing the rich tapestry of contributors who have shaped the evolution of sociology. In essence, this work seeks to unravel the intricate web of social interactions, fostering a nuanced understanding of the complexities inherent in human existence and societal structures.

El presente artículo se basa en un taller de geología desarrollado mediante una metodología de investigación documental y análisis crítico de información. El estudiante realizó una revisión de fuentes académicas y científicas para consolidar conocimientos sobre distintos aspectos de la geología, aplicándolos en la resolución de un cuestionario estructurado. El ejercicio inició con la caracterización de las eras geológicas, detallando sus principales características y eventos más representativos. Posteriormente, se identificaron los minerales más explotados en Colombia y su distribución geográfica a través de un mapa. En tercer lugar, se estudiaron las geoformas influenciadas por agentes morfogenéticos, explicando su origen y evolución. Se analizó también, la hipótesis de la deriva continental, exponiendo sus fundamentos científicos y las evidencias que la sustentan. Para terminar, se identificaron los principales sistemas de fallas geológicas activas en Colombia, describiendo sus características generales y representándolos en un mapa. Este proceso permitió al investigador desarrollar su capacidad de análisis geológico, interpretación cartográfica y comprensión de los procesos dinámicos de la Tierra, desarrollando habilidades analíticas en la recopilación y evaluación de información geo científica

This paper critically examines Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl through the dual lenses of Freudian psychoanalytic theory and postcolonial criticism, revealing that the narrative articulates complex thematic oppositions through a multifaceted analysis. The study yields three key results: 1) Freudian constructs such as the ‘id,’ ‘ego,’ and ‘superego’ exemplify the internal conflicts of characters, emphasizing the dynamic tension between instinctual desires and moral control; 2) a clear binary opposition is established between the pursuit of freedom, embodied by characters like Captain Jack Sparrow, and the state of entrapment, exemplified by the cursed crew whose internalized guilt and consequences of greed bind them; and 3) the integration of psychoanalytic and postcolonial perspectives provides interdisciplinary insights, demonstrating how historical power dynamics and personal identity conflicts converge in cinematic storytelling. The significance of these findings lies in their potential to refine methodologies in literary and film criticism by offering a nuanced understanding of narrative complexity and cultural dynamics. Consequently, further research is expected to extend this dual-framework approach to a broader range of films and narrative forms, thereby enriching scholarly debates on themes of freedom, power, and identity within contemporary popular culture.

This paper examines the interplay between Stoic philosophy and early New Testament theology, with a particular focus on Pauline writings. It explores how core Stoic concepts—such as logos, virtue, and natural law—were strategically adapted by early Christian thinkers to communicate the gospel within a Hellenistic intellectual framework. The discussion reveals three key points of theological tension: 1) Resurrection versus Immortality of the Soul: Whereas Stoicism posits that the soul merely returns to the universal order, Christian doctrine asserts the resurrection of the body and the promise of eternal, transformed identity (Engberg-Pedersen, 2020; Ferguson, 2021). 2) Personal God versus Pantheistic Logos: The Stoic view of an impersonal, all-pervading logos contrasts sharply with the Christian emphasis on a personal, relational God who actively engages with creation (Arnold, 1971; Wilson, 2023). 3) Grace versus Self-Sufficiency: Although Stoic ethics valorize self-sufficiency achieved through reason and discipline, Paul redefines these ideals by grounding moral strength in divine grace, thereby highlighting human dependence on Christ (Malherbe, 2022). This research shows how early Christian theology both borrowed from and diverged from prevailing philosophical traditions, thus laying the groundwork for a distinctive doctrinal identity. This synthesis not only facilitated the spread of Christianity among a philosophically sophisticated audience but also continues to offer a rich framework for contemporary theological dialogue and interfaith engagement. It is expected that further exploration of this convergence will deepen our understanding of the dynamic relationship between secular philosophy and religious thought, with implications for modern ethical discourse and apologetics.

This study employed Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), a qualitative method to examine Pope Francis’s (2024) speeches in Jakarta, integrating ​Teun van Dijk’s socio-cognitive framework​ (2006) and ​Ruth Wodak’s discourse, historical approach (2001). As the result, the findings emerge: 1) The Pope’s rhetorical strategies; such as, ​inclusive pronouns​ (e.g., “we”) and ​metaphors​ like “bridges of dialogue”, construct collective identity and align with Indonesia’s national motto "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" (Unity in Diversity), framing interfaith harmony as a moral imperative. 2) The speeches depict power dynamics by positioning the Church as a “servant of the common good,””compassion,” “mercy,” and “inclusivity” which aligns with the Islamic principles (e.g., rahmatan lil ‘alamin), legitimizing the alignment to state policies while subtly outlining systemic inequities, in line with van Dijk’s concept of symbolic power. 3) The discourse reconciles historical tensions by referencing Indonesia’s conflict struggles and avoiding contentious terms like “conversion,” reflecting Wodak’s emphasis on the role of historical context in shaping communication. The Pope’s rhetoric strategically engages Indonesia’s past events and present-day religious policies to foster reconciliation and legitimize the Church’s role in a pluralist society. Through textual analysis, contextual triangulation with policy documents, and ethical rigor, the study draws attention to the Pope’s strategic balance of affirming state-endorsed pluralism while advocating for grassroots justice, demonstrating CDA’s efficacy in decoding religious diplomacy in diverse societies.

In the 21st century, feminism continues to grapple with persistent challenges, including gender pay gaps, underrepresentation in leadership roles, and ongoing debates over reproductive rights that echo historical struggles for equality. Drawing connections to feminist protests during the Victorian era. Using a qualitative method, this study employed feminist theory, particularly the works of Judith Butler (1990), Betty Friedan (1963), and Charlotte Brontë (1847) to analyze the 2020 film Enola Holmes. The film is examined as a cultural text that subverts patriarchal norms and offers a narrative of female empowerment by: 1) presenting characters, such as Enola and her mother, Eudoria, who reject conventional feminine behavior in favor of self-defense, independence, and intellectual curiosity; 2) critiquing institutional constraints through the depiction of rigid gender stereotypes enforced by settings like the finishing school; and 3) illustrating how Enola’s defiance of familial and societal expectations empowers her to reclaim agency and reshape her future. This article contributes to ongoing academic discourse on gender representation in media by demonstrating how modern adaptations of historical settings can illuminate contemporary feminist issues and challenge established societal norms regarding gender equality.
