The relevance of these problems is undeniable and requires finding ways to solve them.

Reconceptualising Child Trafficking, Migration, And Agency In West Africa: Kinship, Care, Criminalisation, And The Politics Of Protection

2026-01-01T02:14:14+00:00

Child trafficking in West Africa has increasingly been framed as a singular criminal phenomenon, detached from the complex socio-cultural, economic, and historical realities that shape children’s mobility, labour participation, and kinship-based care arrangements. Drawing exclusively on interdisciplinary scholarship and policy-oriented literature, this article offers an extensive theoretical and analytical interrogation of dominant trafficking discourses, with particular emphasis on Ghana, Nigeria, and the wider West African sub-region. It argues that prevailing global and national anti-trafficking frameworks often obscure children’s agency, misrecognise culturally embedded practices such as fostering and labour migration, and produce unintended harms through criminalisation and rescue-oriented interventions. By synthesising perspectives from childhood studies, feminist political economy, human rights law, migration studies, and critical criminology, the article demonstrates how binaries such as victim versus agent, trafficking versus migration, and protection versus exploitation are analytically insufficient. The methodology is grounded in qualitative meta-synthesis of peer-reviewed research, international reports, and legal analyses, allowing for a nuanced reconstruction of empirical patterns and conceptual debates without reliance on primary field data. The findings reveal persistent tensions between international legal instruments, national enforcement regimes, and everyday survival strategies of families and children under conditions of structural poverty and inequality. The discussion highlights how anti-trafficking campaigns, celebrity advocacy, and visual propaganda contribute to moral panics, while often marginalising children’s own voices and lived experiences. The article concludes by proposing a reconceptualisation of child trafficking that foregrounds interdependence, social reproduction, and contextual agency, and calls for policy approaches that move beyond punitive logics towards rights-based, child-centred, and structurally informed responses.

Methods Of Using Digital Pedagogical Platforms To Ensure The Cognitive And Social Integration Of Students In Need Of Long-Term Treatment

2026-01-15T10:52:10+00:00

This article is aimed at ensuring the continuity of education for students in need of long-term treatment. The main focus is on addressing the problems of cognitive impairment and social isolation caused by illness and treatment. The article analyzes three main strategies for using digital pedagogical platforms: 1) Cognitive integration (adapting the lesson load to individual pace through adaptive learning and micro-education); 2) Social integration ("Virtual existence" and restoration of communication with the class collective through gamification); 3) Methodological integration (digitalization of information exchange between doctors, teachers, and parents). The study's conclusion emphasizes that when these strategies are applied comprehensively, they are crucial for ensuring inclusivity in education and supporting the psychological state of sick children.

Problems of Agricultural Development in Uzbekistan at the End of the 1980s: A Case Study of Surkhandarya Region

2026-01-11T16:07:06+00:00

This research provides a scientific analysis of the social and economic consequences of the agrarian policy implemented in the agricultural sector of Uzbekistan during the 1980s under the conditions of a centralized planned economy. The study examines the absolute prioritization of cotton cultivation, the unjust pricing policies applied to agricultural products, and the systemic problems arising from the centralized distribution of land resources. Additionally, the content of the lease and family contract systems introduced in the 1980s, their short-term positive results in increasing production efficiency, and the limited potential within the existing governance mechanisms are analyzed. The negative outcomes of the centralized agrarian policy, such as the limited availability of household plots, the growing employment issues in rural areas, and the decline in the living standards of the population, are discussed and substantiated.

Ideological And Cultural Determinants Of The Formation Of Arab National Identity

2026-01-08T22:32:06+00:00

The article conceptualizes Arab national identity as a complex and multidimensional construct formed at the intersection of historical experience, cultural traditions, religious foundations, and political processes. Particular attention is paid to the unifying role of the Arabic language and Islam, as well as to the ideological functions of historical memory and the legacy of the post-colonial period in shaping collective self-perception. The study critically examines the long-term consequences of colonial domination, the intellectual efforts aimed at redefining and reconstructing national identity, and the emergence of hybrid and transnational forms of self-identification under conditions of globalization. Furthermore, the article demonstrates the significant role of the intellectual elite in constructing and disseminating the Arab national narrative, interpreting identity not as a static or essentialized category, but as a dynamic, socially constructed phenomenon that remains open to continuous reinterpretation and historical transformation.

Music As An Object Of Philosophical Knowledge In The Teachings Of Al-Farabi

2026-01-08T22:24:19+00:00

This article examines music as an object of philosophical knowledge in the teachings of al-Farabi, one of the most prominent representatives of medieval Islamic philosophy. Special attention is given to the place of music within al-Farabi’s philosophical system, where it is understood not only as an art form but also as a scientific discipline grounded in rational, mathematical, and metaphysical principles. Drawing on al-Farabi’s major treatise “Kitab al-Musiqa al-Kabir” (“The Great Book of Music”), the study analyzes his views on the nature of sound, harmony, rhythm, and musical perception, as well as their connection with logic, mathematics, ethics, and psychology. The article highlights al-Farabi’s synthesis of ancient Greek musical theory, particularly the ideas of Pythagoras and Aristotle, with the intellectual traditions of the Islamic world. It is argued that al-Farabi conceptualized music as a means of intellectual cognition and moral influence, capable of shaping human character and emotional states. The findings demonstrate the enduring philosophical significance of al-Farabi’s musical theory and its contribution to the development of musicology as an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of philosophy, science, and art.

Moral Rights In An AI-Driven Creative Environment

2026-01-16T10:48:41+00:00

The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) challenges fundamental assumptions underlying moral rights doctrine, particularly the long-standing premise that creative works embody a personal connection between author and expression. As AI systems increasingly produce expressive content autonomously or in collaboration with humans, jurisdictions grounded in droit d’auteur theory must confront the erosion of human–centric authorship. This article examines the viability of moral rights in an environment where human agency is distributed, partial, or ambiguous. It evaluates the adaptability of existing moral rights frameworks—specifically the European Union’s strong moral rights tradition, the Berne Convention’s minimum standards, and the United States’ limited Visual Artists Rights Act (VARA). The article argues that moral rights require doctrinal modernization, moving away from anthropocentric assumptions and toward a rights-allocation model based on creative stewardship, attribution integrity, and transparency in AI-assisted creativity.
