Authors: Liu Yizi
Published: April 2024

Over the decades, as China's education system has been updated, the number of students entering universities for higher education has increased. This is not only a reflection of the rapid economic growth that China has achieved, but also an important aspect of the high quality development of Chinese education. The college entrance examination is an important link for Chinese students to enter universities and a transit point before they enter society. However, differences in scores on the college entrance examination not only represent differences in academic ability, but also reveal the economic status of the families behind the students. This paper analyzes the differences in economic status, aiming to find out the extent to which economic status affects Chinese students' entry into universities. The graphs show how much differences in GDP per capita actually make a difference in education in different regions. The research in this paper will be very important for the reform of education policy.

Published: April 2024

On 18 October 2018, during the 95th Dies Natalis, Jeroen Brouwers received an honorary doctorate from the Radboud University. This honorary doctorate was awarded to him because of his significance to Dutch literature. This edition includes the laudatio by the honorary promotor Jos Joosten, the acceptance speech by Jeroen Brouwers and a curriculum vitae by Brouwers' biographer Johan Vandenbroucke. Honorary promoter Jos Joosten described Jeroen Brouwers in 2018 as "a prominent and highly acclaimed writer with a career spanning more than half a century. He has addressed important societal issues in his novels, such as the processing of the Second World War in the Dutch East Indies in 'Bezonken Rood' (1981) and the abuse in the Catholic Church in 'Het Hout' (2014). But he is also a great essayist, employing a method that lies between scholarly analysis and literary imagination, and a polemicist. He serves as an example for many writers: he lives for and through literature. As a critic, he also writes extensively about Flemish literature, which is also a particular focus of Nijmegen's Dutch studies. And whether he's engaging in polemics or erecting a statue for a writer: stylistically, it's always virtuoso." Jeroen Brouwers passed away on the 11th of May 2022 at the age of 82.

Authors: Lei Yu
Published: April 2024

Bilingual education studies consider the fluid and dynamic linguistic repetoire of teachers and students as helpful resources accomplishing communicative goals in real-life context. This study examines the translanguaging practices of Chinese-English bilingual Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classrooms in an online environment. Data was collected through partiticpant classroom observation and interviews. Moment analysis is employed to analyze the creativity and costs of translanguaging moments of the stakeholders. The classroom observation demonstrated translanguaging, as a co-constructed communicative tool, was initiated both by the teacher and students as translanguaging agents. Specifically, peer interaction and question answering were two main contexts in which students initiated translanguaging. And the teacher initiated translanguging in three contexts, namely, acamedic content knowledge teaching, classroom feedback and classroom management. Results from interviews with the teacher and students revealed that English proficiency might be the primary factor spurring translanguaging practices. Weaker English proficiency would lead to more active translanguaging praxis. Besides, translanguaging forms might be mediated by socio- and cultural-linguistic factors. English is used to express compliment and approval while Chinese will be employed to offer constructive criticism. Lastly, the costs of translanguaging moments were furthure analyzed. It is concluded that students translanguaging in the context of peer discussion lowered their cost of communication. Through code-mixing students confidence in solving academic problems is boosted and their engagement in group project is promoted as well. Teachers translanguaging lowered teachers teaching cost and students learning cost whereby the teacher-student confidence was co-constructed in this specific context. Whilst translanguaging pedagogy is endorsed in terms of content knowledge teaching and learning, it remains unclear whether the English proficiency is facilitated. Current research indicates it is important to be critical of translanguaging costs in integrating content and language learning.

An Analysis of the Mediating Role of Language in Education in the Context of Internationalisation of Education
Authors: Dilixiati Dilizhati
Published: April 2024

In the context of the internationalization of education, multilingual language learning and teaching play a fundamental and very important role in the education system, where different groups learn a uniform curriculum based on different cultural backgrounds and linguistic understandings. This thesis analyses the reason for the imbalance of educational resources for minorities in the educational process. Multilingual teaching materials and related materials are outdated or unavailable. Groups learning through "bridge" languages do not acquire languages through their mother tongue, which makes the acquisition process difficult. On this basis, the thesis proposes to improve pedagogical diversity by increasing teachers' motivation to learn and teach multilingualism. The second is that the creation and enrichment of multilingual corpora and teaching materials can enhance research on multilingualism. The third is a way to reduce the quality gap with the majority population in education by promoting cooperation between universities companies and institutions.

Deconstructing the Laissez-Faire Legend: A Critical Analysis of the 1834 Poor Law Reform and Its Legacy
Authors: Xiao Shiqing
Published: April 2024

This research paper critically examines the 1834 Poor Law Reform in Britain, a seminal event that is often heralded as a triumph of laissez-faire economics. The study delves into the historical context of the Old Poor Law system, established in 1601, which mandated legal support for individuals unable to sustain themselves. The paper scrutinizes the perceived problems of the Old Poor Law and the subsequent radical reforms introduced by the New Poor Law. It challenges the conventional narrative that the Poor Law Reform was a necessary corrective to an inefficient and market-distorting welfare system. Through a detailed analysis of the Poor Law Commission Report of 1834 and its criticisms, the paper reveals significant gaps in the arguments presented. The study also considers the impact of the Industrial Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, and the gold standard restoration on the Old Poor Law system, arguing that these external factors played a crucial role in shaping the economic and social landscape of the time. This study offers insights into the complexities of policy marking and the interplay of economic theories and social needs. It underscores the enduring impact of historical decisions on contemporary economic and political dynamics and challenges the notion of post-WWII liberal order as a perpetuation of the laissez-faire myth.
An Analysis of Influencing Factors on Bilingual Reading of Second Language Learners
Authors: Lu Yu
Published: April 2024

Proficiency in second-language (L2) reading is an important skill essential in an increasingly globalized world. Previous research has often addressed disparate elements influencing L2 reading proficiency without aggregating them into a comprehensive framework. This paper seeks to fill this gap by systematically collecting and examining the various factors that impact the ability to read in a second language. The primary objective of this research is to compile an exhaustive list of factors affecting L2 reading and to analyze their respective influences. By categorizing these factors into external and internal dimensions, this study aims to provide a holistic view of the ecosystem within which L2 reading comprehension develops and operates. Employing a qualitative literature review methodology, this research meticulously synthesizes existing studies and theoretical perspectives on L2 reading. The factors influencing L2 reading proficiency are divided into two broad categories: external and internal. External factors encompass educational contexts, socioeconomic influences, the role of technological tools and digital literacy, as well as cultural and contextual elements, and the characteristics of reading materials. Internal factors are identified as cognitive processes, the effects of language transfer and interference, and the roles of motivation and attitude in L2 reading. Each factor is analyzed for its unique contribution and interplay with other elements within the L2 reading process.

Authors: Tang Kuan
Published: April 2024

This article investigates the relationship between bilinguals cultural identification and language proficiency and tries to find out the strategy to improve bilinguals language proficiency. It was written in a literature review format, summarizing ten articles about bilinguals, and comparing them to research the topic. The study mostly researches three bilingual groups: immigrants, heritage language speakers, and transnational students. Moreover, found that immigrants would either identify with both cultures or deny one of them. Their attitude toward the culture will also reflect their language proficiency; they either have balanced language proficiency in both languages or show a preference for one. For heritage language speakers, their cultural identification can be consolidated through involvement in a kind of cultural background; then, heritage language speakers would raise their willingness to improve their language proficiency of heritage language. Finally, the transnational students, if they can identify themselves as successful students, might hold more confidence to study the language and gradually get better proficiency. This article concludes with three directions to help bilingual people improve their language proficiency based on their cultural identification. This could be concluded as producing a better bilingual community, recommending HL speakers parents use more about their heritage language before their children, and helping bilingual students build the identification as successful students.

Traffic congestion poses a substantial challenge to efficient road transportation, impacting travel times, fuel consumption, and overall productivity. The Abuja-Nasarawa Road, a critical transportation corridor, faces persistent congestion issues attributed to factors such as increased vehicle numbers, inadequate infrastructure, and poor traffic management. The escalating traffic congestion along Abuja-Nasarawa Road adversely affects the region's productivity and economic development. This study aims to analyze the traffic congestion along the Abuja-Nasarawa Road to improve decision-making regarding road use and transportation system planning. The research design combines qualitative and quantitative methods, utilizing a questionnaire and traffic data collection. The study focuses on the AYA Interchange – Karu Bridge section of the road, a critical stretch facing congestion issues. The methodology involves traffic data collection, including vehicle counts, traffic volumes, and average speeds. Results indicate varying traffic flow rates during morning and evening peak hours. Karu Bridge experiences the highest traffic congestion, with a flow rate of 5433 vehicles per hour during the morning. The qualitative analysis reveals the distribution of road users, with 40% being commercial drivers. The findings reveal a prevalence of traffic congestion attributed to the concentration of economic activities in the city center, leading to increased commuter influx. The study recommends measures such as maintaining and expanding the road network, introducing alternative transportation like a railway service, and completing infrastructure projects like the Apo-Karshi Road.

Background: Numerous studies conducted worldwide have revealed that medical students face great stress during their undergraduate years. In addition to the pressure to perform academically, students must also deal with the uncertainty of their future and the challenges of systemic adjustment. In addition, they deal with family, social, emotional, and physical issues that could impair their capacity to study and do well in school. It has been reported that students’ mental health deteriorates once they enter medical school and does not improve throughout their education. Hence, this study was conducted to study the prevalence of stress and factors associated with stress among undergraduate students at a medical college.

Aims and Objectives: The study aimed to study the prevalence of stress and factors associated with stress among undergraduate students of a medical college.

Materials and Methods: After obtaining the participants’ ethical committee approval and informed consent, a cross-sectional observational study was conducted for 2 months among 400 undergraduates of a medical college. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (IBM version 26.0). The association between two categorical variables was measured using the Chi-square or Fisher’s exact test. A P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: In the present study, the overall prevalence of stress was 92.5%. Of the students, 7.5% never had stress, 36.5% experienced mild, 39.5% moderate, and 16.5% perceived severe stress. Regarding sources of stress, 74.5% reported that the vastness of the academic curriculum and loneliness were mentioned by 46.8% and 45.8% said that the food quality in the mess or home was the stressor.

Conclusion: A high level of stress was observed among the students. The students followed various coping mechanisms. There is an urgent need for counseling techniques to address the stress among students, and reforms are needed in medical education.

Published: April 2024

Background: Worldwide women spend 4.5 h daily on unpaid work while men spend about half of that time.

Aims and Objectives: The aims and objectives of the study are to estimate the time spent by both men and women on the various types of unpaid care labor and to determine the economic estimates of unpaid labor.

Materials and Methods: An embedded study (descriptive cross-sectional along with qualitative component) was conducted for a period of 3 months in 2020 in the rural area of a tertiary care medical institution in South India. 360 study participants of 15–60 years were recruited using simple random sampling and inquired for the time spent on care activities. Cumulative hours spent per year and its economic estimate was calculated using Oxfam global care calculator.

Results: Female participants did significantly higher hours of unpaid care (3596.5 h) as compared to male participants (2938.3 h) (P < 0.05). Economic estimates of unpaid care per year were significantly higher (INR 103641.8) for females as compared to males (INR 84610) (P < 0.005). The reasons for gender-based disparity were patriarchy, perception of redundancy, male chauvinism, and absence of self-realization.

Conclusion: The policymakers and administrators should develop policies which recognize, reduce, redistribute, and represent unpaid labor work.
