Abstract The intersection of digital technology and the knowledge economy has led to the rapid development of the online knowledge payment (OKP) industry, which has attracted increasing attention from scholars across various disciplines. However, research in this field remains relatively fragmented and lacks a coherent framework for understanding the evolutionary trajectory and mechanisms of OKP platforms. This study addresses this gap by conducting a bibliometric review of 226 core papers retrieved from Scopus and Web of Science databases and applying the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) to interpret the underlying business logic of OKP models. Through ELM-guided classification, this paper distinguishes between central route mechanisms (such as knowledge quality and credibility in paid Q&A) and peripheral route mechanisms (such as emotional appeal and interactivity in live broadcast formats). The bibliometric analysis reveals emerging research trends focused on hybrid platform strategies, artificial intelligence-driven personalization, and blockchain-enabled trust systems, indicating a shift from static content monetization to dynamic, user-centered knowledge experiences. By integrating the ELM with quantitative mapping of the OKP research landscape, this study constructs a dual-perspective framework that links user cognitive processing with evolving platform affordances. The findings theoretically illustrate how persuasion and participation coexist in knowledge-driven digital environments, offering practical guidance for platform designers, knowledge creators, and policymakers seeking to promote innovation and user engagement in the OKP field.

Abstract In the evolving landscape of omnichannel retailing, delivering a seamless customer experience is critical for maintaining competitive advantage. While large brands often achieve omnichannel integration through vertical coordination of their online and offline channels, small and medium-sized manufacturers typically depend on retail partners for such integration. Using game-theoretic modeling, this study examines the cross-channel behavior of omnichannel consumers and analyze interactions between a manufacturer and a retailer before and after channel integration. The findings reveal that for integration to be viable, the benefits derived from offline consumer engagement surpass the value provided by offline services. Moreover, channel integration may lead to win-lose or lose-lose outcomes. To address this, the study proposes a subsidy mechanism that enables a win-win scenario, thereby enhancing overall supply chain profitability. These insights offer meaningful implications for omnichannel strategy and supply chain management.

This article studies the fictionalisation of the eyes and their potential in La pícara Justina (The Spanish Jilt) (1605), a picaresque novel by the licentiate López de Úbeda. To this end, a collection of passages is discussed in the light of physiognomic and medical–humanistic sources close to the author’s context, which makes it clear that he was at least familiar with the technical literature as well as with the learned circles next to the court. The article also attempts to explain certain elusive passages concerning (or having suggested any connection to) the eyes, with an emphasis on the turn of phrase ‘ojos médicos’ and its assumed link to the Menippean ‘sight from afar’ and the phenomenon of the so-called ‘médicos chocarreros’.
O presente estudo investiga estruturas de tópico-comentário e sujeito-predicado no Português do Brasil (PB), sob a luz da psicolinguística experimental, a fim de trazer suporte empírico que sustente a hipótese de que o PB seria uma língua mista, orientada tanto para a sentença quanto para o discurso, diferente do inglês, que é, indiscutivelmente, uma língua com proeminência de sujeito, orientada para a sentença (cf. Li & Thompson 1976). Investigamos estruturas de tópico geradas na base (tópico estilo-chinês), pois tais estruturas são prototípicas de uma língua onde a noção de tópico é importante e ausentes em uma língua onde a noção de sujeito é a dominante (cf. Yuan 1995), além de estruturas de tópico geradas via movimentação sintática (topicalização). O experimento de julgamento de aceitabilidade demonstrou que o comportamento dos falantes de PB e de inglês foi significativamente diferente durante a tarefa proposta, o que pode indicar que as línguas não se encaixam na mesma tipologia, quanto a sua orientação. O resultado do teste com o grupo bilíngue confirmou, ainda mais, as suposições iniciais, de que PB e inglês não enxergam o tópico da mesma maneira. Tais resultados sugerem que o PB deva ser caracterizado como uma língua onde ambos, tópico e sujeito, são noções importantes (cf. Pontes 1987, entre outros).

The scholarly reception history of the Old English riddles and adjacent “enigmatic poems” of the Exeter Book reveals a long process of creating intelligibility and order out of a complicated and obscure manuscript context. Understanding this history of reception allows us to see the influence of Old English poetry on modern creative medievalism, including the unexpected influence of medieval “enigmatic” poetry on the modern genre of supernatural fiction. Specifically, it is argued that the scholarly reception of folios 122v–123v of the Exeter Anthology was instrumental in inspiring one of the acknowledged classic ghost stories of the twentieth century, M.R. James’s “Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad”.

In this paper, the philosophy of post-phenomenology has been discussed. Post-phenomenology is a new approach in the philosophy of technology, which especially emphasizes the role of technology in changing human experiences and perceptions. First, the relationship between post-phenomenology and phenomenology and then the relationship between post-phenomenology and pragmatism is mentioned. It has been stated that post-phenomenology is a philosophy combined with pragmatism and classical phenomenology. Post-phenomenology, while retaining some features of classical phenomenology and setting aside some other features, including the emphasis on opposition to essentialism, has led to the philosophy being called a kind of pragmatic phenomenology. In the following, Post-phenomenological research methods are discussed, in this regard, methods are introduced and discussed, which include methods such as interviewing participants, observing participants, reporting first-person experiences, interviewing objects, and Robert Rosenberger's proposed method. All of these methods ultimately examine the relationship between humans and technologies and the changes that result from these relationships in different ways.

Few studies have looked at the relationship of job characteristics and worker well-being among Norwegian academics. The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between job demands, job resources, burnout, and engagement among Norwegian university staff. In total, 236 staff from one university in Norway answered the questionnaire. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses identified job demands as the most important predictors for burnout. Autonomy was the most important job resource in the prediction of engagement and burnout. What constitutes a job resource or a job demand varies from occupation to occupation. The present study adds to the existing literature by examining factors that may protect or harm the individual workers’ health and well-being in a Norwegian university context.

Nigerian government through its various agencies, World Bank, nongovernmental organizations, and even private philanthropists, has recently resorted to committing a lot of resources to training and empowering the youths in various entrepreneurships. This is done with the aim of enhancing creation of jobs, reduction of poverty, and generation of income both to individuals and government thereby bringing about economic diversification which will help reduce overdependence on government and oil revenue, hence leading to economic growth and development. While these initiatives are steps in the right direction, this study therefore empirically examined whether empowering the youths has significantly contributed to the growth of entrepreneurship thereby leading to economic diversification in Nigeria using the Nigeria Enterprise Survey Data (2014) and applying the multinomial logistic regression model. It was found among others that almost all the variables used to capture entrepreneurship growth and development in Nigeria were statistically significant except for tax rates, transportation cost, and land access (comparing micro and large enterprises with the small-scale enterprise) and tax rates, subsidy, and land access (comparing medium enterprise with small-scale enterprise). It was recommended among others that governments at all levels and its various agencies, World Bank, nongovernmental organizations, and even private philanthropists, need to do more on entrepreneurship training programs of youths. The training should be accompanied with sustained financial and nonfinancial support and monitoring the business activities of these entrepreneurs after empowering them.

Institutional schemes that offer financial and other support to carry out Scholarship of Teaching and Learning projects have a valuable part to play in the personal and professional development of academic staff. We investigated the experiences of 12 recipients of the University of Edinburgh Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Scheme awards, drawing on a poetic inquiry approach in order to understand what that development meant to them. We found that poetic inquiry surfaced stumbling points and frustrations as well as triumphs and transformation and provided insight into the kinds of emotional and practical support required by participants. Unexpectedly, it also shed light on methodological issues for the researchers.
For quantitative literary analysis, the Spanish Golden Age seems to be a perfect
field of research. Many texts are provided by Virtual Libraries like the most known
BVMC (Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes) in various editions. Though for
textual analysis like stylometry not only the text itself, but also the
metadata should be complete and correct. As the contemporary editions of the Golden
Age are themselves difficult to judge regarding the textual originality, additional
information (usually called metadata) about the origin of text, author, date, place is
needed. The following paper discusses the problem of existing textual basis for
stylometric analysis using the example of authorship attribution for the apocryphal
second volume of the Quijote by Avellaneda
(pseudonym). The aim is not to discover the real identity of the author Avellaneda,
but to test the method with various parameters (cosine Delta, selected
wordlist, culling, rolling Delta) and to discuss the results
in the context of other existing authorship attributional methods and in the context
of traditional working literary history and studies.

Semiotics is the science of studying the sign systems and, in fact, an interpretive process for understanding the hidden truth behind the signs, mysteries, and signs and cultural symbols. In addition, semiotics tells us that structures can be meaningful. The sign system in the Islamic Republic of Iran is very important because of the creation of a new Shiite identity. The present study examines the process of transition from political symbols to social symbols in the stamps between 1979- 2001 as a cultural instrument of the Islamic Republic of Iran through a combination of content analysis and semiotics. The findings of this study indicate that the process of changing the emblems on stamps between 1979- 2001 indicates that the Islamic Republic of Iran's legitimacy has shifted from rulers to society and from political to social.

El objetivo en el artículo es establecer dimensiones metodológicas para analizar las sociedades contemporáneas, vínculos y procesos de subjetivación, en sus relaciones con imágenes. Primeramente, entiendo la noción de imagen en sentido extendido a formas de apropiación social: las modas, consumos y gustos, diseños, tecnologías de comunicación y redes, etc. constituyen propiedades imaginales que intervienen sobre producciones normativas de prácticas sociales. Para concretar ese análisis general deben establecerse criterios acordes al objeto de estudio: se asume como objeto general de las ciencias sociales las relaciones (no el actor o el sistema), asumiendo las lógicas discursivas de lo social. Finalmente, se proponen especificidades metodológicas, entendiendo la interdisciplinariedad y la transdisciplinariedad como fundamentales. El trabajo sobre lo imaginal, es decir, acerca de la indiscernibilidad entre lo social y las imágenes, implica un abordaje de superposiciones de capas, cuestionando esencialismos y binarismos.

The paper reviews the issue of the origin of toponym Καλπε (Calpe), which can be rightfully called one of the oldest place names on the Iberian Peninsula. For a long time, the etymology of Καλπε has troubled the minds of historians, geographers, and linguists. However, only a few of them seriously studied the origin of the place name. In spite of that, mainly Iberian and Greek versions of the origin of the toponym have been reviewed to study this question, thereby leaving aside other points of view.
Based on the data of Ancient Greek and Roman sources in which it is written that the Phoenicians and Semitized Iberian tribes Bastetani or Baestuli lived around Καλπε, the conclusions have been made about their role and importance in the appearance of the place name. Furthermore, the work uses linguistic comparative data which testify the probability of Semitic origin of the toponym.

The issue of co-morbidity in Anxiety and Depression as disorders leads to questions about the integrity of their present taxonomies in mental health diagnostics. At face value the two appear to have discrete differences, yet nonetheless demonstrate a high co-morbidity rate and shared symptoms implying pathological similarities rather than that of chance. Reviewing evidence from behavioural, neural, and biological sources that elaborate on the aspects of these two constructs, helps to illustrate the nature of these apparent differences and similarities. Integrating evidence from the anxiety and depression literature with the pathological process best illustrated by the burnout theory, alongside with support from the neurobiology of anxiety and stress, presents a proposition of a basic and natural anxiety pathology that when excessive, may result in the symptoms psychology has come to know as representative of anxiety and depressive disorders.
