The Role of Early Childhood Education in Shaping Future Academic Success in Nigeria: An Empirical Study
This study examined the role of Early Childhood Education (ECE) in shaping future academic success in North-central Nigeria. Despite global recognition of early learning as foundational to lifelong achievement, access to quality ECE in Nigeria remains uneven, raising concerns about school readiness and long-term academic outcomes. A mixed-method design was employed, involving 420 participants (260 pupils, 100 teachers, and 60 parents) from public and private schools across Benue, Kogi, and Kwara States. Data were collected using questionnaires, classroom observations, interviews, and pupils’ academic records. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation, and Regression Analysis, while qualitative data were thematically analysed. Findings revealed a strong positive relationship between ECE attendance and later academic success (r =.74, p <.05). Teacher qualification (β =.41), play-based learning (β =.33), parental involvement (β =.29), and learning resources (β =.24) significantly predicted academic outcomes (R² = .67). Children exposed to quality ECE demonstrated higher literacy, numeracy, classroom behaviour and confidence. However, challenges such as inadequate funding, unqualified caregivers, poor infrastructure and unequal access persists. The study concludes that quality ECE is indispensable for improving foundational learning and long-term educational achievement. It recommends increased investment, compulsory pre-primary education, strengthened teacher training, improved regulation, and enhanced parents – school partnerships.

Cognitiv Analysis of Some Clothing Brands
This paper looks at how meanings are created in advertising using cognitive linguistics theory. The research looks at the Conceptual Metaphor Theory, frame semantics and semantic network analysis and how this can be used to analyze advertising from the campaigns from Zara, Puma and Under Armour who use CLOTHING IS IDENTITY, SUCCESS IS SPEED and WILLPOWER IS FORCE respectively. Research concludes that advertisements use the systematic mapping between an abstract concept and a concrete one in order to simplify and make easily understand such concepts as identity, success and willpower. Using minimalistic design and commonly understood frames, advertising works on restructuring a given semantic network to focus on the given concept of clothing, speed and force. It is argued in this paper that it is not simply how meaning is imparted, it is also how that meaning affects how the individual conceptualises themselves and their world. Advertising is not only a method for conveying meaning but is also a crucial tool in its conceptualization and construction.

Teachers’ and Administrators’ Perceptions of the 21st Century Career Progression System: A Mixed-Methods Approach
The Enhanced Career Progression System (ECPS), or the Expanded Career Progression (ECP) System, was first introduced on 2022 through Executive Order No. 174, which established a new career progression framework for public school teachers in the Philippines. The Department of Education adopted this system to promote a competency-based and merit-driven approach to teacher and school leader advancement. This study assessed teachers’ and administrators’ perceptions regarding the objectives, principles, implementation, and opportunities provided by the ECPS. A convergent-parallel mixed-methods design was employed, wherein quantitative and qualitative data were collected. Concurrently, it was analyzed separately, and then merged to provide a comprehensive interpretation of the findings. In the quantitative component, survey data were collected from 145 teachers and administrators using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, including weighted mean, and inferential analysis through one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were utilized to analyze respondents’ perceptions and determine significant differences based on selected profile variables such as age and position. Results revealed that both teachers and administrators generally expressed strong agreement with the objectives and guiding principles of the ECPS, highlighting its potential to promote fairness, transparency, and professional growth. However, the findings also showed concerns regarding the complexity of documentation requirements, workload implications, and the need for clearer implementation guidelines. Simultaneously, qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 25 purposively selected respondents. Thematic analysis generated key themes emphasizing the value of competency-based advancement, the need for simplified processes, and stronger institutional support. The integration of quantitative and qualitative results demonstrated convergence on the strengths of the ECPS, while also providing nuanced insights into implementation challenges. Based on these findings, a policy brief and implementation framework were proposed to enhance the effective and equitable implementation of the ECPS in public schools.

Cognitive Analysis of Allusive Units in English and Uzbek Languages
This article presents a comparative cognitive analysis of allusive units in English and Uzbek. Allusive units are linguistic expressions that indirectly refer to another text, historical figure, literary character, or cultural event. From a cognitive linguistics perspective, such units activate mental structures such as frames, scripts, and concepts. The article analyzes allusive units from English that include ancient mythology, the Bible, Shakespeare, modern cinema, and Uzbek literature, which analyzes classical Oriental literature, folk epics, Islamic sources, and Uzbek cinema with numerous examples. The comparative analysis reveals that while the frame mechanism operates identically in both languages, the source bases and cultural contexts differ fundamentally. Translation problems and strategies for rendering allusive units are also discussed.

Gender Transformations in Uzbek Society and Their Impact on Youth Preparation for Family Life: Balancing Tradition and Modernity
In recent decades, Uzbek society has experienced significant gender transformations influenced by globalization, economic reforms, digitalization, and evolving cultural norms. These transformations have redefined traditional roles of men and women, reshaping family structures, expectations, and preparation of youth for family life. This study aims to explore the dynamics of gender role changes in Uzbekistan and analyze their implications for the readiness of young people to build and sustain families. Using an analytical and conceptual research design, the study integrates findings from sociological, pedagogical, and psychological literature published between 2010 and 2025. The results reveal that while traditional values such as respect for family hierarchy and gender complementarity remain influential, modern tendencies—such as women's increased participation in education and employment, and shifting expectations of men—are creating a hybrid model of family roles. However, this transition is accompanied by contradictions, including role conflict, identity uncertainty, and insufficient preparation for equitable partnerships. The study concludes that effective youth preparation for family life requires a balanced pedagogical approach that integrates cultural heritage with modern competencies such as communication, emotional intelligence, and shared responsibility. The findings have implications for educational policy, family pedagogy, and youth development programs in Central Asia.

Maternal Influence And Female Identity in A Thousand Splendid Suns
In patriarchal societies where women’s roles are socially restricted and culturally defined, motherhood has long been recognized as a central factor in the formation of identity. In literary studies, the analysis of mother daughter relationships offers valuable insights into the psychological mechanisms through which identity is constructed, transmitted, and transformed. Feminist, socio political, and postcolonial frameworks has been widely examined in the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. Gender oppression, war, and female resilience primarily draw attention of scholars. Nevertheless, relatively minimal attention has been paid to the psychological dimension of maternal influence, particularly the ways in which maternal narratives are reflected and later reconcidered by female characters. This study argues that maternal influence is not just a fixed social role, the novel operates it as a dynamic and evolving psychological system. It illustrates how maternal models represented by Nana, Fariba, and later Mariam herself shape the identities of Mariam and Laila during processes of internalization, resistance, and transformation. Combining literary analysis with psychological theory, the novelty of this research lies in its interdisciplinary approach, particularly the concepts of intergenerational trauma, internalized maternal voice, and surrogate motherhood. This article highlights the internal psychological mechanisms that determine how female characters perceive themselves and make life decisions.

Mindfulness, broadly defined as purposeful, non-judgmental awareness of the present moment, can be cultivated through structured practices such as meditation, mindful breathing, body scans, and mindful movement. This research article explores the theoretical underpinnings of MBIs, reviews empirical evidence on their effects on attention and learning, and examines mechanisms through which mindfulness enhances cognitive functioning and academic engagement. Additionally, the study addresses challenges in implementing MBIs in educational settings and provides best practice recommendations for integrating mindfulness into curricula. The findings underscore the potential of mindfulness as a transformative tool to foster attentional control, self-regulation, and holistic learning outcomes in students across developmental stages.
Methodological Challenges in Contemporary Linguistics
Contemporary linguistics is characterized by methodological diversity, interdisciplinary integration, and rapid development of new research approaches. While this diversity creates new opportunities for linguistic analysis, it also generates serious methodological challenges related to the choice of theoretical framework, research methods, and interpretation of linguistic data. The present article examines the main methodological problems faced by modern linguistics, including the conflict between formal and functional approaches, the integration of cognitive and social perspectives, the influence of interdisciplinary research, and the difficulties of combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Special attention is given to the problem of methodological inconsistency, which often arises when linguistic research is conducted without a clear theoretical basis. The study argues that contemporary linguistics requires a flexible but systematic methodological model that allows the integration of different approaches while preserving scientific reliability. The article demonstrates that the future development of linguistics depends on the ability of researchers to overcome methodological contradictions and to create unified principles for linguistic analysis.

Invisible on Screen, Visible in Struggle: Dalit Feminism between Media Representation and Grassroots Politics
This study is situated within the historical context of colonial and imperial legacies in India, which have significantly shaped knowledge systems, media representations, and political structures through entrenched caste and gender hierarchies. Despite the expansion of democratic and cultural spaces, Dalit women continue to face systemic marginalization, particularly in cinema, media narratives, and political participation. Addressing this gap, the study adopts Dalit feminist epistemology as its central analytical framework to critically examine how power operates across cultural and institutional domains. Methodologically, the paper employs a qualitative and critical analytical approach, drawing on theoretical insights from Dalit feminism, intersectionality, and decolonial studies. It analyses patterns of representation in cinema and media, alongside the role of Dalit women in grassroots political movements and activism, to understand both exclusionary mechanisms and forms of resistance. The findings reveal that dominant media and cultural industries largely reproduce stereotypes, invisibility, and narrative control, reinforcing epistemic inequality and limiting the agency of Dalit women. Simultaneously, the study highlights that Dalit women’s participation in social and political movements generates alternative discourses that challenge hegemonic knowledge systems and assert their role as active knowledge producers. The study concludes that addressing these inequalities requires a decolonial and intersectional rethinking of representation, knowledge, and power. It emphasizes the need for inclusive media practices, equitable political engagement, and the recognition of marginalized voices as central to achieving epistemic justice.
Role of Civil Society Organisations in Environmental Protection
Civil society organisations (CSOs) have emerged as indispensable actors in global and local environmental governance. This paper undertakes a systematic and empirical examination of the multifaceted roles played by CSOs in environmental protection, covering policy advocacy, environmental monitoring, community mobilisation, strategic litigation, and international networking. Drawing on peer-reviewed literature, longitudinal engagement data, and illustrative case studies from both developed and developing nations, the study constructs a conceptual framework linking CSO mechanisms to measurable environmental outcomes. Results indicate that CSOs are not peripheral actors but central nodes in multi-stakeholder environmental governance architectures. Quantitative analysis reveals that approximately 87% of surveyed CSOs engage in policy advocacy, while 91% are involved in community mobilisation efforts. Engagement indices have risen substantially across all country income groups between 2000 and 2023. The paper further identifies persistent structural challenges—including funding volatility, regulatory suppression, and institutional marginalisation—that constrain CSO effectiveness. These findings carry direct implications for policymakers, donors, and civil society practitioners seeking to optimise the contribution of non-state actors to sustainability transitions.
