Abstract: Pollinators are essential to agricultural ecosystems, contributing to crop productivity and biodiversity. This study examines the diversity of pollinators, their seasonal activity, and their influence on crop yields in various agricultural settings. Findings reveal that bees were the most abundant pollinator group, accounting for 45% of activity in orchards, while non-bee species, such as flies and beetles, played a significant role in cereal fields. Pollinator activity peaked in spring and summer, aligning with crop flowering periods. Farms with high pollinator presence experienced up to a 25% increase in yield compared to those with low pollinator presence. Additionally, 70% of wild plant species depended on pollinators for successful reproduction. The study highlights the detrimental impact of monoculture and pesticide overuse on pollinator health and emphasizes the need for sustainable practices, such as crop rotation and the cultivation of flowering plants, to promote pollinator diversity. These findings underscore the critical role of pollinators in supporting food security and ecological balance and call for urgent conservation efforts.

Keywords: Pollinator diversity, crop productivity, agricultural ecosystems, floral resources, biodiversity, sustainable practices.

Abstract: Based on the Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese (BCCWJ), this paper conducts an in-depth cognitive linguistic analysis of the Japanese lexeme "浅ましい" and its multiple meanings. Utilizing cognitive techniques such as metaphor and metonymy, the study classifies the semantic relationships of "浅ましい" in modern Japanese and reveals its affective tendencies across different contexts. Findings indicate that "浅ましい" predominantly conveys negative emotions, covering a range of meanings from the condemnation of desires and negative evaluations of appearance to the description of humility, sadness, and shame, and it is primarily used in written expression. In contrast, although this term is listed as a synonym of kawaisō (可哀想) in Weblio's Synonym Dictionary (2024), "浅ましい" carries a stronger connotation of pejoration and criticism, reflecting a richer spectrum of emotional nuances.

Keywords: 浅ましい, Metaphor, Metonymy.

Abstract: In this paper, based on Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville (R-L) fractional integral and a new multiplication of fractional analytic functions, we study four types of matrix fractional integrals. Using some methods, we can evaluate these four types of matrix fractional integrals. Moreover, our results are generalizations of classical calculus results.    

Keywords: Jumarie’s modified R-L fractional integral, new multiplication, fractional analytic functions, matrix fractional integrals.

Abstract: Holistic tourism is currently flourishing across China. Given the insufficiency or inaccuracies in the translation of Chinese tourism slogans in certain domestic areas, this study applies the three-dimensional principles of eco-translatology—focusing on linguistic, cultural, and communicative aspects. Starting with insights derived from English tourism slogans in select U.S. states, this study explores the translation of holistic tourism slogans in Chinese, using representative slogans from Zhaoqing as case studies. The goal is to enhance the international promotion of tourism slogans for cities, assisting tourism destinations in reaching a global audience.

Keywords: Holistic tourism; Slogans; Eco-translatology; Three-dimensional principles.

The study adopted a survey research design, data used in this research were gotten from primary source of data through the use of questionnaires. The study employed simple random sampling technique, and a sample size of 211 employees were selected out of 450 employees using Taro Yamani formula. The study discovered that Information Communication Technology has a significant effect on tax administration in Ondo State, with f-value of (67.665), P-value .000 < 0.05. This transformational effect stems from the integration of advanced technological tools and systems, which streamline tax collection, enforcement, and data management processes. The study recommended that Government should improve on online portal for taxpayers to become more users friendly, promote self-assessment and easy submission of tax-related documents, which can enhance transparency, increase taxpayer compliance, and streamline the tax assessment procedures. Also, Ondo State Internal Revenue Services should continue harnessing the potential of Information Communication Technology, with an emphasis on cyber security to further optimize tax policy implementation and ensure its continued effectiveness.

Abstract: When defending class and national interests through "soft" strategies to resist ideological infiltration by other countries, the term egemonia in Gramsci's discourse is understood as "ideological hegemony." Conversely, when "soft" strategies are used to spread ideology abroad and defend a superpower's global "leadership" and "dominance," egemonia is perceived as "ideological supremacy." Popular culture, science and technology, and modernization form the three dimensions of ideological hegemony, serving as crucial arenas for both the domestic ruling class to defend ideological hegemony and for international superpowers to maintain ideological supremacy. Drawing on these three dimensions, in the global information age, universities must enhance the ideological leadership of educational institutions by highlighting the "two cores," modern information technology, and modernization efforts in higher education to ensure effective leadership in ideological work, with a focus on three essential points.

Keywords: Ideological hegemony; universities; three essential points.
