Abstract: The article examines the role of the aesthetic characteristics of calligraphy in the creation of dynamic variable fonts in contemporary typography. By analyzing the visual approaches in the creation of a calligraphic work and comparing them with the possibilities provided by modern software tools for generating dynamically changing fonts, the process of creating new-generation fonts is traced. Particular attention is given to the analysis of significant examples from contemporary typography that use digital fonts in text design – from simplified sans serif, serif fonts, decorative scripts, and others. In recent years of the 21st century, a trend has developed in the creation of digital fonts that can proportionally change and deform based on width, weight, slant, style, texture, optical size, and other parameters. This variable function of Adobe’s software programs is part of the OpenType features, called “Variable font,” which enables greater flexibility in text design.
Keywords: variable font, calligraphy, digital font, OpenType feature.

Abstract: This paper interrogates the enduring coloniality of knowledge within the humanities and social sciences, with particular focus on African intellectual traditions and epistemic struggles. Drawing on decolonial theory, cognitive justice frameworks, and Southern epistemologies, it argues that prevailing academic paradigms continue to marginalize endogenous knowledge systems through epistemicide, linguistic hegemony, and methodological imperialism. The study critically examines how Eurocentric standards of academic excellence undermine pluriversal knowledge, and explores how indigenous philosophies, oral traditions, and Afrocentric pedagogies offer fertile grounds for epistemic reconstitution. Methodologically, the paper adopts a comparative analysis of curricular structures, publishing trends, and research policies in selected African and Western institutions, alongside case studies from grassroots knowledge production initiatives. It highlights the role of youth movements, digital platforms, and Pan-African intellectual networks in resisting epistemic domination and forging new futures of knowledge. The paper concludes by proposing a reconfiguration of the humanities and social sciences through dialogical ethics, plural rationalities, and decolonial praxis that affirm the dignity, complexity, and validity of all ways of knowing. This contribution speaks directly to the conference’s commitment to interdisciplinary reflection and global cooperation, offering a transformative lens for rethinking the future of scholarship in a multipolar world.
Keywords: decoloniality, epistemic justice, cognitive justice, African studies, humanities and social sciences, pluriversality, knowledge decolonization.

Abstract: The integration of digital technologies into education is reshaping the role of the teacher, placing renewed emphasis on the development of strong pedagogical communication skills. Effective communication remains central to success of the teaching and learning process and is increasingly recognized as vital to supporting students’ emotional and mental well-being in both traditional and digital learning environments. This study explores the impact of drama-based training programs on the development of communication skills among pre-service teachers in Portugal. Two cohorts participated: one engaged in a long-term course embedded within a higher education curriculum, and the other in a short-term Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) involving international collaboration. Both programs utilized drama techniques as a core pedagogical tool. Data were collected through participant questionnaires and reflective diaries. The results indicate that drama-based learning enhances confidence, emotional awareness, and interpersonal competence, which are essential elements of effective pedagogical communication and contribute to relational education. The study draws on the theoretical framework of Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed, highlighting the potential of drama methods to cultivate quality presence, active participation and collective creative processes. These approaches challenge traditional educational paradigms, opening a discussion about the effectiveness and relevance of professional preparation programs and the communicative demands of the contemporary teaching and learning process.
Keywords: drama education, pedagogical communication, teacher education, experiential learning, Higher Education.

Abstract: The digital technology and the world of a virtual space by projecting them, cardinally changed the face of the world. This widespread in varying degrees digital-virtual technology in modern society for nearly thirty years now radically changed the society on a planetary scale, in various economic, political, social, legal, ethical, cultural, etc., perspectives. Indeed, to this day the world turns into a possible “togetherness” (with all possible “for” and “against” globalization) – the catalyst for this is the digital, technical and technological boom. The whole boom in turn raises many questions, mostly related to the source, which builds the digital-technology “body” and its “life” – the human. What happened to his purely human body senses and what possible virtual or imaginary worlds hover it? Here are a few thoughts as sketched lines in the first person singular, an essayistic-philosophical perspective on human senses and virtuality. The “imperfect concurrency” ... for which we do not speak or do not think, but actually it is constituted direct and intentional phenomena of “stuff” into, within and out of the world. Moreover, we, the humans, experience the world in narrow barriers of time in which there remains no reflects not seen, or rather not take very much of what happens in it. For virtual, fantasy and sensuality in touch for life. Unfortunately, humans in their existence are increasingly trying to “numb themselves” and rely on their eyes and ears, and distance itself from their non-visual senses. For the loss of this ability or the need for feeling, for example, a touch of liveliness helps – contributes comparison of humans, with residence and his communication in virtual space. The virtual creates the false illusion of a public (free-for-all) world, that is “with” and “together” us.
Keywords: AI, digital technology, virtual space, imperfect concurrency.

Abstract: This study presents the doctrinal and dogmatic differences related of the Muslim Brotherhood between Turkey and Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood’s (MB) flight from Egypt after the ouster of Mohamed Morsi in 2013 went through several stages, predominantly to several countries that were perceived as safe havens for the leaders and members of the outlawed Islamist movement. They took advantage of the experience they had gained from their constant escapes to the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf. As early as the mid-20th century, after the repressive policies of former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, they found a warm welcome in these countries. The first country in the region to become acquainted with the ideology of Egyptian Islamists was Kuwait. This happened through Egyptian students – MB members who studied at local universities. There, the radical organization has a significant social, political and media presence.
Keywords: The Muslim Brotherhood, Turkey, Egypt.

Abstract: In recent years there has been voices against the Wahhabis as someone who “exports Islamic fundamentalism.” Indeed, radicalism and the father can still be found inside and outside Saudi Arabia in the form of organizations such as Ahl al-Sunna and al-Tawhid in Sudan, elements and foes of the al-Qaeda organization headed by Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan and Yemen and other neo-Wahhabi organizations throughout the Muslim world. However, these organizations should not be regarded as representing the Wahhabist ideology, so that their law is no different from other marginal radical movements, such as Al-Takfir and Al-Hijra, who were educated on the knees of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Keywords: Wahhabism, Saudi-Arabia, Muslim Brotherhood.

Abstract: Theosophical doctrine is often referred to as a “religion without a god,” and the founder of the Theosophical Society, Helena Blavatsky, has been accused of outright atheism. These accusations stem from a lack of understanding of Blavatsky’s seminal work The Secret Doctrine, as well as from centuries-long efforts by certain groups to reject and discredit her. In The Secret Doctrine, Blavatsky repeatedly states that the One, all-pervading, absolute reality is the true Divine essence from which all phenomena – visible things – originate and to which everything returns once the period of cosmic rest begins. This article examines the central question of “God” according to The Secret Doctrine and related concepts such as “noumenon” and “phenomenon,” the cycles of rest and activity – Pralaya and Manvantara – as well as other elements within the broader theme of the Theosophical understanding of the Divine essence.
Keywords: Helena Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, "God", atheism.

Abstract: This paper examines the institutionalization of political power as a defining characteristic of modern constitutional democracy. It traces the historical evolution from anonymous and personalized forms of power to institutionalized systems grounded in representative democracy. The analysis demonstrates how institutionalization fosters legitimacy, stability, and a balance between individual autonomy and collective interests within a constitutional framework. Representative democracy is presented as the primary mechanism for exercising state power, transcending direct democratic rule by integrating diverse social interests into a rational and legally mediated decision-making process. The paper argues that institutions enshrined in constitution channel and sustain popular sovereignty, preventing arbitrary or absolutist power, including that of the people themselves. Ultimately, representative democracy emerges as a rational response to the complexity of modern society, ensuring legal predictability, accountability, and the protection of individual freedom while safeguarding the common good through constitutionalism restraints of political power.
Keywords: institutionalization of political power, representative democracy, constitutional democracy, political institutions, popular sovereignty, individual freedom, collective interests, rule of law, legitimacy, political representation, direct democracy, modern state, common good.

Abstract: Psychotherapy of psychosomatic disorders in adolescents is one of the most responsible tasks that a therapist could take on. The psychosomatic spectrum of disorders in children aged 5 to 18 is wide-ranging. The similarity between the individual symptoms lies in the fact that they are masked satisfied desires, but not in an adequate, but in a neurotic way. Psychotherapy of psychosomatic disorders is a responsible process and in most cases works with the painful awareness of the fact that a person is a carrier of self-deprecating memories, intentions, and traits, and this gives rise to anxiety. The desire to be saved from it takes on the role of a motive for pushing out the painful information. The process of psychotherapy should be approached individually and the personal characteristics and character traits of adolescents should be taken into account. This article examines some of the most common disorders, as well as the causes that caused them. The focus is on eliminating not the symptom, but the cause of its occurrence.
Keywords: psychosomatics, children, adolescents.

Abstract: Supporting children with special needs in the school environment requires a holistic approach, in which school nurses play an important role. They are not limited to providing medical care or monitoring chronic conditions; they also act as crucial links between parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals. Through this collaboration, they significantly contribute to the creation of a safe and supportive learning environment. At the same time, they offer valuable guidance and information to parents, enhancing their involvement both in the care and educational journey of their children. Strengthening the school-family relationship is a key factor in improving students’ quality of life and promoting their meaningful inclusion. However, challenges remain, such as understaffing and the limited institutional recognition of school nurses’ roles. It has become clear that strengthening school nursing is essential for shaping a more humane and inclusive school environment.
Keywords: school nurses, children with special needs, parental support, school-based medical care, school-family relationship, student inclusion, inclusive education, safe learning environment, student quality of life.

Abstract: The article explores the regulations composed by Moroccan sages throughout the generations, focusing on their composition process, subjects, and key figures. These regulations reflect the need to adapt Jewish law to changing realities while preserving the core values of Judaism . The article describes the roots of the Jewish community in Morocco and the development of the important community in Fez with the arrival of exiled Spanish Jews. It explains how legal scholars formulated regulations based on traditional Jewish sources. The process of drafting regulations involved discussions, writing, and public proclamation, emphasizing the importance of public consent. The regulations covered a wide range of areas, including marital law, monetary matters, Jewish-gentile relations, ethics, education, and more. The article reviews key regulation collections, such as those from Fez, Meknes, and Sefrou. It presents the unique characteristics of each collection and the central figures behind them. Additionally, it addresses the regulations of the Rabbinical Council in Morocco, which worked to unify laws and customs in the country . Three central regulations are analyzed in depth: a regulation concerning daughters’ inheritance, a regulation limiting expenses for celebrations, and a regulation prohibiting the employment of young children. The analysis of these regulations emphasizes the aspiration for social justice, community solidarity, and protection of the vulnerable .
Keywords: regulations, Morocco, Judaism, Jewish Law, sages, Fez, Meknes, Sefrou, education, inheritance, social justice, solidarity.

Abstract: The integration of minority groups into Israeli society is necessary to maintain and reproduce the link between education and the country’s economic and professional capacity. The attitude of the educational system towards the Arab-Bedouin community as part of Israeli society has been controversial for many years and has been evaluated by educational experts. The potential of learning and education as a means of advancing the Arab-Bedouin minority society is poorly reflected in the state’s educational policy, and the contribution of its adaptation to the process of modernization and integration into the labor market has been insufficient. In this paper, we present an updated picture of the major changes in the development of the minority population, focusing on the Bedouin society and its civic-cultural integration process. It also examines the educational aspects of the interaction between investment in educational infrastructure and the exploitation of the economic and professional potential of the Bedouin community.
Keywords: Israeli Arab-Bedouins, Israel studies, social integration, minority studies.

Abstract: The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in the influence of social media platforms, and YouTube is at the center of them as a platform with great power and scope. YouTube is not only a source of entertainment – but also an educational, marketing, cultural and sometimes even political tool. Despite the high accessibility and enormous distribution of YouTube content, academic research on the direct and indirect impact of videos on perceptions of reality, emotions, consumer products and even decision-making – is only just beginning. Theoretical foundations for understanding this formation of Jewishness in the age of YouTube, the shaping of one’s personal and religious identity does not occur in a vacuum, but is influenced by a wide range of psychological, social, and cultural forces. To understand the influence of the YouTube platform on shaping the Jewish identity of young people in Israel, the approaches of classical thinkers in the field of psychology can be used.
Keywords: Youtube, Jewish society, Jewish studies, Jewish identity.

Abstract: In 1979, the main fundamental change is the regime change: Iran transformed from a pro-Western kingdom into a theocratic Islamic republic. The second change is the rise of religious rule: Ayatollah Khomeini came to power and introduced the principle of “rule by the cleric.” Therefore, the Iranian regime made changes and imposed restrictions on English teaching in both the private and public sectors immediately after it came to power in 1979 to curb the influence of English language teaching. The Iranian regime, which came to power following the Islamic Revolution in 1979, feared that through the teaching of English, foreign ideas and values would be spread in Iran, which could undermine the country’s cultural and religious identity.
Keywords: Iran, Iranian regime, English studies, English teaching.

Abstract: The theoretical foundation of Copyright Law, as we know it today, originates in the 18th century in continental Europe, during the philosophical discussions about natural rights. It was at this time that the distinction was made between the economic rights and the personal rights of the creator within the intangible property framework. At this stage, it can be stated that the primary strength of the personality theory lies in its justification of the creator’s personal rights and moral rights. In practice, the fundamental assumptions of the personality theory have permeated copyright law as a whole, including the economic aspects of copyright.
Keywords: personality theory, Copyright Law, Hegel, Kant, Fichte.

Abstract: Euthanasia, derived from the Greek eu (good) and thanatos (death), signifies the act of intentionally ending a life to relieve suffering. While the practice has existed in various forms throughout history, it is only in recent decades that euthanasia has become a central topic of ethical, legal, and philosophical debate. The increasing complexity of modern medicine, the extension of human life through technological means, and the rise of individual autonomy as a moral and legal principle have all converged to bring euthanasia to the forefront of contemporary philosophical inquiry.
Keywords: euthanasia, medical ethics, autonomy , suffering, human dignity, cross-cultural ethics, end-of-life decisions, philosophical ethics, compassionate death.

Abstract: This article explores the prevalence and contributing factors of addictive behaviors among adolescent students, focusing on tobacco use and screen addiction (e.g., mobile phones, social media, gaming). Through a review of international and Greek literature, individual, family, and school-related risk factors are identified, along with the critical role of school-based Health Education programs in prevention. Emphasis is placed on the need for early interventions that strengthen students’ psychosocial resilience and promote healthy decision-making. The school is highlighted as a key environment for the development of life skills and the enhancement of protective factors. The article concludes with recommendations for integrating targeted prevention programs into school curricula to address the rising incidence of adolescent addiction.
Keywords: addictions, adolescents, students, digital addiction, tobacco use, risk behaviors, health education prevention, school-based interventions, psychosocial resilience, school environment, addictive behaviors.

Abstract: Egypt is a presidential republic. The head of the country is the president of Egypt who is elected once every 4 years in direct elections. Under the president, the parliament elected in separate elections once every 5 years operates and consists of two houses: the upper Egyptian Senate, which serves as the body that advises the president, and the lower, which is called the People’s Assembly. Egyptian politics knew many upheavals in the second decade of the 21st century. The main political and social struggle was between the religious-extremist parties in the form of the “Muslim Brotherhood” parties and the Salafist parties and the more pragmatic parties in the form of the army and Al-Sisi’s party. If in the past, the main agenda of Egyptian politics was a war against external enemies, today it mainly concentrates on reaching political and economic stability. The army remains the most powerful factor in the country and sees its role as excluding religious factors from undermining the internal stability of the country.
Keywords: Egypt, Egyptian politics, the Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Sisi.

#6 006: Saudi Wahhabism after 9/11 – Ideology versus pragmatism: Modern Wahhabism – The “shaping” of ideology 16 September 2025, 15:02 (BST -01:00) - Comment made by Yalon Madar (015) In a world increasingly reduced to simplistic, two-dimensional views, it is reassuring to find scholars who insist on probing deeper and examining the issues on the agenda with sharp focus. This is especially true when it comes to matters at the very heart of international politics. |
#7 004: The AI, the virtual, the human senses and one “imperfect concurrency” 17 September 2025, 08:48 (BST -01:00) - Comment made by Yalon Madar (015) The topic is truly fascinating and at the forefront of public interest. I am curious to learn how research-based conclusions might be drawn regarding the theory you presented—whether through empirical studies or through the analysis of sociological and philosophical theories. In any case, I wish you the very best with this inspiring research, and I sincerely thank you for sharing it. |

004: The AI, the virtual, the human senses and one “imperfect concurrency” 18 September 2025, 12:40 (BST -01:00) - Response to the comment (#2) made by Lubomira Dimitrova (009) Thank you very much for the comment! The topic is fascinating. We humans experience the world in very narrow "time barriers", in which what remains in our heads, or at least what we perceive as reality, is extremely small and incomplete, and unclear. In practice, it turns out that many of the questions facing humanity have answers that are right in front of us, but limited by our senses; we cannot understand them because we are so constructed that we cannot take in more than a certain number of images in our minds. It turns out that people who are somehow placed in a "borderline situation" / have a lack of a sense, transferring its functions to other senses, manage to adjust their consciousness to work in such a way that they are much more adequate to a reality that is much more colorful than the one we perceive. |
The aim of the e-Conference was to bring together scholars, administrators and students from different countries, and to discuss theoretical and practical issues in different areas of Humanities and Social Sciences. The e-Conference was organized as a kind of a multi-disciplinary forum which provided the appropriate opportunities for inter-disciplinary communications.
These are the following areas of study covered by the e-Conference: Philosophy, Anthropology, Psychology, Science of Education, History, Linguistics, Arts, Sociology, Political Science, Law, and Economics.
The e-Conference is organized exclusively as an online conference, and the English was the only language of the conference.
The e-Conference realizes on 15-17 September 2025, starting by exposing accepted abstracts at the COAS website (15 September 2025, 00:00 Belgrade, -01:00 BST). It is followed by the posting at the conference page different textual contents sent by the e-Conference participants, such as discussions, analyses, critics, comments, suggestions, proposals, etc., regarding exposed abstracts and other contents. All textual contents are reviewed and posted at the COAS website by the e-Conference moderators, appointed by the Scientific Committee.
The accepted abstracts and full texts will be published online in the Conference Proceedings, with regular eISBN number (all articles are enabled with DOI), or in the one of COAS Open Journals (authors choose the option). The Conference Proceedings will be published till the end of December 2025, and will be submitted for indexing in different international databases. The key conclusions from the e-Conference discussions will be summarized and also published as part of the Conference Proceedings, by decision of the Scientific Committee.
The full texts should be prepared according to the Guide for Authors, applied as propositions for the manuscripts submitted for publishing in the COAS Open Journals. All submitted full texts will go through two reviewing processes: (1) double-blind (at least two reviewers), and (2) non-blind (two members of the Scientific Committee). Final decision for the presenting and publishing depends of the two kinds of reviews, thus a paper should be recommended by non-blind reviewers and blind reviewers, in order to be accepted for presentation at the conference and to be published in the e-Conference Proceedings.
