Our journal aims to provide a platform for scholars and practitioners to share their innovative ideas, methods, and findings in the field of social sciences. In this edition, we have assembled a diverse collection of research articles that cover a broad range of topics within the social sciences. Our contributors come from different parts of the world, and their research draws on a range of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. We hope that our readers will find these articles informative and thought-provoking.</p>https://hspublishing.org/ASSM/article/view/647Evaluation of Effects of Cotton Growing on the Environment and the Population in the Koutiala Circle2024-09-27T17:38:29+01:00Famagan-Oulé Konatefamagankonate@yahoo.frBoubacar Sidiki Dembelefamagankonate@yahoo.frMamadou Dembelefamagankonate@yahoo.frBaba Faradji N'diayefamagankonate@yahoo.fr<p>Since 1960, cotton cultivation has experienced considerable expansion in the Koutiala district of Mali. This expansion has not been without consequences on people’s health and natural resources in terms of soil, water and natural vegetation. Based on the analysis of satellite images and a socio-economic survey of production unit chiefs, this study highlights the degradation of soils, biological diversity, population health, and pollution of groundwater and surface water. To reduce these effects, the adoption of good agroecological practices, the organic cotton farming, the reduction of the use of chemicals, and the sustainable management of water and soil are becoming a necessity to ensure sustainable management of environmental resources and the preservation of the livelihoods of local producers.</p>2024-10-13T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2024 Famagan-Oulé Konate, Boubacar Sidiki Dembele, Mamadou Dembele, Baba Faradji N'diayehttps://hspublishing.org/ASSM/article/view/650Echoes of Speculation Underway in Relations Between the Occident and China2024-09-30T19:28:25+01:00Giovanni Antonio Cossigaziovania@hotmail.it<p>In a previous article I talked about speculative waves in sequence that have hit the global economy since the 2000s in a world struggling with deflation. Well, this wave of speculation has not stopped but today it seems to concern the transfer of industrial plants from the West to China. A process that was born with the good intentions of transferring industrial activities to developing countries with the dual objective. Give a boost to the economy in developing areas and at the same time reduce the management costs of large multinationals' plants. A process therefore that was born with a positive sign in the intent to help a coordinated development of the territories and a reduction in the costs of industrial products. Meanwhile, the objective of coordinating the development of the territories and continents has not been achieved and on the contrary the process has led to an almost exclusive delocalization of industrial production from the West to China. The excess of industrial localization has exacerbated the concentration of unassimilable waste with a worsening of the disease of the planet struggling with atmospheric overheating. The process, therefore, has been slowed down but not stopped for natural reasons. On the other hand, the acceleration of the development of the Chinese economy has also marked a halt coinciding with the spread of the global epidemic. After about fifty years of accelerated economic growth, the Chinese community has sensed the change in the country's economic prospects and has pulled the brakes on both consumption and investments, marking the end of the accelerated race on the road to development. The picture of the speculative evolution of industrial delocalization processes sees together the interest of mega companies in reducing management costs which is congenial to the increase in the financial values of companies that increase on the Western stock exchanges. In other words, delocalization helps reduce management costs and at the same time seems to support ultra increasing financial values. In short, it plays into the hands of speculation which is certainly not the interest of global social and economic development which instead requires coordination of the territories on the road to development. With the further dilemma that the fate of the global economy may be in the hands of the Boards of Directors of mega companies and not of states and communities.</p>2024-10-13T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2024 Giovanni Antonio Cossigahttps://hspublishing.org/ASSM/article/view/652The Economic Incentive, Quality and Scientific Production of The Higher Education in Mexico 2024-10-01T17:45:32+01:00José Luis Arcos Vegaa1116756@uabc.edu.mxMarja Johana López Quinteroa1116756@uabc.edu.mxConrado García Gonzáleza1116756@uabc.edu.mxMaría Amparo Oliveros Ruiza1116756@uabc.edu.mxMarissa López Paredesa1116756@uabc.edu.mx<p>The research presented is a descriptive and comparative study of the Academic Profession In The Knowledge-Basic Society (APIKS) survey database, with emphasis only on the national base, which analyzes the perception of both male and female academics in Mexican universities and their opinion regarding the incentive programs for scientific productivity in Mexico, such as the Teacher Performance Incentives Program (PEDPD, for its acronym in Spanish), Teacher Professional Development Program (PRODEP, for its acronym in Spanish), Academic Groups (CA, for its acronym in Spanish) and National Researchers System (SNI, for its acronym in Spanish), from the perspectives of gender, teaching and research quality, for which a sample of 3776 participating academics located in the different higher education subsystems of the Mexican educational system was analyzed.</p>2024-10-19T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2024 José Luis Arcos Vega, Marja Johana López Quintero, Conrado García González, María Amparo Oliveros Ruiz, Marissa López Paredeshttps://hspublishing.org/ASSM/article/view/656Discussion on Comparative Research and Teaching of the Adverbs Shizhong(始终),Zaowan (早晚),Chizao (迟早) for Vietnamese Students2024-10-04T14:34:26+01:00Nguyen Thuy Thuy Dungthuydung3063@gmail.com<p>Adverb“始终(shizhong)、早晚(zaowan)、迟早(chizao)” in Chinese and Vietnamese are equivalent compound words composed of two monosyllabic morphemes, and these two morphemes have opposite meanings. This article analyzes and compares three adverbs from two semantic and grammatical perspectives, conducts comparative analysis, and thereby finds the similarities and differences between these three words in Chinese and Vietnamese. At the same time, finding the causes and proposing teaching methods to solve the problem of Vietnamese students often misusing these words when learning Chinese in Vietnam. We have found very few studies on teaching and comparing adverbs in these two languages, so this article hopes to help Vietnamese students understand more deeply the characteristics of this group of words, as well as avoid misusing this group of words.</p>2024-10-07T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2024 Nguyen Thuy Thuy Dung
