Human rights, a universal entitlement, face infringements that demand robust protection mechanisms. Instances of violations, whether by individuals or governments, underscore the necessity of vigilant monitoring. Regional human rights systems therefore play a pivotal role as the next resort when national remedies prove insufficient. This paper examines and analyzes the reporting mechanisms employed by regional human rights bodies. It asserts that these mechanisms are crucial in guiding reporting parties and ensures redress for contraventions committed by member states. The main argument revolves around the significance of reporting mechanisms as a tool for preserving the rights of regional body members. The research considers the statutes, laws, and rules governing each regional body, and offers an insight into their respective frameworks. Hence, a doctrinal methodology was adopted using primary and secondary sources. Findings reveal the diversity of mechanisms in place across regional bodies by discussing their role in safeguarding human rights. The paper concludes by suggesting improvements to regional bodies to enhance accessibility and ensure member states' compliance with established human rights standards. Recommendations include procedural enhancements in reporting mechanisms, harmonization of standards across regional bodies, and increased public accessibility.

Nigeria has been bedevilled with serious terrorist attacks, kidnappings, cybercrimes and a series of security challenges for over a decade. The Nigerian constitution makes provision for the allocation of state resources for the good and welfare of the citizens. The constitution also vests powers on the President and Governors to make judicious use of these state resources. One of these powers is the management of huge sums received by heads of the executive arm of government under the guise of security. A leader must lead the people in good conscience. This paper examined conscientious leadership challenges in managing security votes in Nigeria. The paper examined the reasons for the failure of successive governments in Nigeria to provide security for the citizens. The paper examined jurisdictions such as South Africa and Libya and drew lessons for Nigeria to adopt in finding a lasting solution to its current insecurity. The paper adopted the doctrinal methodology and suggested how to tackle the menace of insecurity. The paper finds that it is not the absence of laws but the political will to comply with the mandatory constitutional provision that would help resolve the insecurity challenges, among others.

The advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution made it essential to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into a number of areas, including the domain of legal education. This chapter offers a thorough analysis of the potential and difficulties linked to the incorporation of artificial intelligence into Nigeria's legal education system. Using qualitative techniques, the study explores how artificial intelligence (AI) might improve the teaching methods and professional skills of law students in order to prepare them for a future where technology plays a significant role. The paper highlights the disparity between existing curricular frameworks and the changing requirements of legal practice in a global context affected by artificial intelligence. Based on the combination of legal teaching methods and technological progress, the paper recommends a systematic approach to improving the curriculum, developing faculty, and enhancing infrastructure in order to promote AI literacy in legal education. The scope of the study, although centred on Nigeria, provides insights that can be applied globally. However, it recognises the constraints imposed by limited infrastructure and resource availability. The study's assertions are backed by a thorough examination of existing research, which highlights the importance of reform. The paper concludes by providing policy recommendations that serve as the basis for future academic investigations. It identifies specific topics for further research in order to match legal education with the advancing role of artificial intelligence (AI).

MONITORAMENTO DE MACRÓFITAS AQUÁTICAS NO RESERVATÓRIO 25 DE MARÇO, MUNICÍPIO DE PAU DOS FERROS, OESTE POTIGUAR (RN/BR)
Authors: Bezerra Júnior Aluizio
Published: June 2024

Os reservatórios estão submetidos às múltiplas ações de forças antropogênicas e, como consequência, podem alterar o seu regime hidrológico e a dinâmica ecológica. Essas alterações fazem com que organismos fotossintéticos formem colônias de propagação, especialmente algum grupo ecológico de macrófitas aquáticas. Logo, o objetivo desta pesquisa é mapear as macrófitas aquáticas no reservatório 25 de Março, visando conhecer as áreas de ocorrências e os fatores que levaram à propagação deste organismo fotossintético. Como procedimentos metodológicos, foram utilizadas as imagens orbitais do satélite LANDSAT 8, sensor OLI/TIRS, órbita 216, ponto 64, resolução espacial de 30 metros, datada de 22 agosto de 2020, disponibilizadas pela USGS (United States Geological Survey); para classificar as bandas espectrais, utilizou-se a classificação supervisionada no algoritmo Máxima Verossimilhança (MARVER) em SIG Qgis® 3.4 Madeira. Os resultados mostraram, em sua classificação, ser suscetível o reservatório à propagação de macrófitas aquáticas e, como consequência, os valores de ocorrências do organismo representaram 64,353ha (60,20%) da área total; por outro lado, a lâmina d’água obteve 42,6ha (39,8%) de acumulação de área. Ao se considerar os valores em questão, é possível afirmar que a proliferação de macrófitas está relacionada aos múltiplos impactos, sobretudo aos desequilíbrios de dinâmica urbana. Portanto, conclui-se que as áreas de ocorrências de macrófitas aquáticas têm seu desenvolvimento favorecido pelo excessivo impacto em sua bacia hidráulica. Também é necessário apontar que o uso das técnicas de Sensoriamento Remoto contribui diretamente no monitoramento deste organismo fotossintético e, com isso, torna possível atualizar a forma de gestão e de gerenciamento do reservatório.

Mil rosas roubadas, de Silviano Santiago: do luto ao nascimento do ficcionista
Authors: Cardoso de Freitas Lima Leila Aparecida , Busato Susanna Busato
Published: June 2024

Este trabalho apresenta como tema o relacionamento do narrador e suas memórias no romance Mil rosas roubadas, de Silviano Santiago. O objetivo concentra-se em averiguar o papel da morte de Zeca, no processo de autodescoberta do narrador-escritor. Para tanto, parte-se da hipótese de que a morte do amigo obriga a personagem-narradora a mergulhar em um processo de escrita que em muito poderá desvendar sentimentos não compreendidos no passado, além de provocar uma redefinição da condição de seu eu no mundo. Neste percurso, o ponto de partida para análise está alicerçado nos estudos narratológicos de Gérard Genette (1979), no entanto, no decorrer deste processo autores como Freud (1930) e (2011), Bakhtin (1997), Gagnebin (2006), entre outros, também serão convidados à discussão. Esta reflexão pretende resultar na compreensão de uma suposta presença paradoxal de morte e vida no romance de Santiago. Neste contexto, é possível que a morte do eu narrado precise ser decretada juntamente a de Zeca, para que o eu da enunciação com sua nova face de ficcionista possa finalmente nascer.
Jules Verne, titã moderno. Uma extraordinária viagem ao centro da documentação
Authors: Barreto Junia , Alcântara Pedro Henrique
Published: June 2024

Ao longo dos tempos, assistimos grande parte da crítica e da mídia tratar a obra de Jules Verne enquanto ficção científica, atribuindo ao autor até mesmo a paternidade do gênero. Nessa perspectiva, seu trabalho seria fruto de uma imaginação altamente inventiva, quase profética, antevendo a criação de vários inventos tecnológicos. Porém, considerando o curso da vida e do trabalho literário de Jules Verne, as intensas pesquisas do romancista junto a especialistas, com os mais diferentes documentos, revistas científicas e jornais fomentaram a criação de um novo gênero poético-fantástico, baseado nas mais diversas navegações e viagens ao redor do planeta, um theatrum mundi, exprimindo vários roteiros e apresentando uma espécie de incorporação dos conhecimentos. Publicadas na época das Exposições Universais, as ditas Viagens Extraordinárias impulsionam os leitores ao centro da descomunal documentação verniana, para sonhar com os limites da experiência humana: a literatura verniana trata do espetáculo do mundo ligado com as possibilidades fascinantes do progresso.

Published: June 2024

Massive cyberattacks and cybercrimes such as ransomware and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have become more and more of a danger, and individuals, organizations, and governments have struggled to discover effective means to defend against them. In 2017, the WannaCry ransomware was to blame for roughly 45,000 strikes across almost 100 nations. Governments have come under pressure to enhance their cybersecurity spending as a result of the increasing impact of cybercrime. In his fiscal year 2017 budget, United States President Barack Obama suggested investing more than $19 billion in cybersecurity, a rise of more than 35% from 2016.Thus, a new sort of organizationknown as the "cybercrime underground" has developed, one that both runs underground marketsand fosters the growth of cybercrime conspiracies. The threat posed by the emergence of highly skilled network-based cybercrime business models, such as Crimeware-as-a-Service (CaaS), is mostly invisible to governments, organizations, and individuals becausecybercrime networks are lateral, diffuse, fluid, and dynamic. Although cyber dangers are rapidly increasing, there hasn't been much research done on the methodology or theoretical underpinnings of the field that could help inform information systems researchers and practitioners whowork in the field of cyber security. Additionally, little is understood about Crime-as-a-Service (CaaS), the illegal business model that supports the underground world of cybercrime.
“We are in more interaction with students’ identity than with their physique”: L2 Teachers’ Understanding of Learner Identity
Authors:   Kharazmi University, Nazari Mostafa , Tilaki Melika Jargani ,   Islamic Azad University
Published: June 2024

The study of language teacher and learner identity has turned into a vibrant line of research in recent years. Little research, however, has specifically addressed teachers' understanding of learner identity and the contributions this awareness offers to various aspects of their work. This study explored fifty Iranian EFL teachers' understanding of learner identity as relative to their practice in different language schools across the country. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed through content analysis. The teachers viewed learner identity as a multi-layered concept encompassing various sociocultural aspects external to learners as well as individual aspects internal to learners as influencing their identity construction. Regarding the nexus between teacher practice and learner identity, not all the teachers agreed with the goal of raising learners' awareness of identity issues in practice, yet most of them referred to the substantial behavioral impact of teachers on learners' identity construction. The study offers implications for systematic incorporation of identity-related issues in teacher education programs in order to further enhance the teachers' associated awareness.

Published: June 2024

Vocabulary knowledge plays a primary role in the ability to communicate in a second/foreign language. The present study examined how different input or output modalities combined with audiovisual input provided by TED-ED videos could foster vocabulary learning. In doing so, some written tasks and exercises were used to facilitate the process. Participants were 56 upper-intermediate EFL learners in four classes who were selected based on convenience sampling. They were randomly assigned to one control and three experimental groups. Audiovisual input was employed in the experimental groups and was followed by speaking (n=13), listening (n=14), and reading (n=15) activities. The control group (n=14) practiced the same materials via reading and listening to control the audiovisual input effect. A Vocabulary Knowledge Scale (VKS) administered at the outset helped in selecting 60 unknown words. After the instruction treatment, the participants took immediate and delayed post-tests. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) showed that audiovisual input, followed by speaking activities was more effective than other types of classroom practices. The frequency of target words in the tasks and the results of statistical analysis (mixed between within-subjects analysis of variance) on the exercises confirmed the MANOVA results. The retrospective questionnaire underlined the role of the films in vocabulary learning. The researchers concluded that audiovisual input followed by spoken output was more useful than audiovisual input, alone, followed by listening or reading. In addition, although facilitative, written tasks and exercises did not have a differential role in the results. The study has implications for SLA researchers, language teachers, and practitioners.
Developing EFL Learners’ Speaking Fluency: Use of Practical Techniques
Authors:   Shahid Sattari University of Aeronautical Sciences and Technologies, Ghasemi Ali Asghar , Mozaheb Mohammad Amin ,   Imam Sadiq University
Published: June 2024

his research explores the role of concept mapping and speech repetition in developing EFL learners' oral fluency. Eighty language learners, after passing an in-house placement test, were randomly assigned into two equal experimental groups. The data analyses demonstrated that both groups' oral fluency significantly improved when they were trained to apply concept mapping and 4/3/2 technique. It was argued that concept mapping helps them take a more active role to effectively organize the concepts, plan their tasks, and monitor their activities. Besides, repetition techniques may lead to linguistic proceduralization and automaticity which results in positive changes in underlying cognitive mechanisms and ultimately contributes to long-term and transferrable effects on speaking fluency. Furthermore, a semi-structured interview was run to triangulate the data. This paper discusses some implications for instructors and educators.
“More Mindful of ESL Students”: Teacher Participation and Learning in ESL and Content Teachers’ Collaboration in a Science Middle School Classroom
Authors:   Hoover City Schools, Giles Amanda , Yazan Bedrettin ,   University of Texas at San Antonio
Published: June 2024

Teacher collaboration has received international research attention and has emerged as an effective way for teachers to engage in professional growth opportunities (Dove & Honigsfeld, 2018; Rao & Chen, 2020). An examination of teacher collaboration can shed light on the process by which teachers work together and illuminate further possibilities for professional learning and growth across all English teaching contexts (Dove & Honigsfeld, 2018; Giles & Yazan, 2019). Building on a sociocultural theory of learning, this study examined ESL and science teachers' participation in a collaborative partnership to enhance ESL students' education. It investigated how both teachers learned to co-plan and co-teach ESL students in a seventh-grade science classroom in the Southeastern U.S. This study relied on qualitative data methods and employed grounded theory techniques (Charmaz, 2006). The findings showed that limited collaborative planning time and the ESL and science teachers' disparate notions of collaborative teaching contributed to the teachers' unequal collaborative planning and teaching roles. Consequently, different learning outcomes were realized for both teachers.

Published: June 2024

Controversy about whether English for General Purposes (EGP) or English for Specific Purposes (ESP) should be taught at university courses has attracted the attention of language teachers and researchers in Mexican higher education during the last decade. However, moving towards ESP remains a complex task since EFL instructors and authorities are challenged to match what students need and want with the development of innovative pedagogical proposals. Therefore, this paper explored the English learning needs and perceptions of the 2014 cohort at a regional campus that is part of a public university in Mexico and how a group of EFL teachers worked with them. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected using a mixed-method sequential approach. This needs analysis was developed in three stages over two years. During this time, needs were identified and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) within the ESP teaching approach was adopted and implemented. The perceptions of 191 students were assessed through a questionnaire applied after the completion of four EFL classes. The results showed that students' perceptions were, overall, positive regarding their experiences in their EFL classes. This suggests that the approach used was useful, and the materials were appropriate to support their learning.
Sustainable Solutions to Common Language Difficulties in Bilingual Families
Authors:   Asia Pacific University Ritsumeikan, Hendricks Sara
Published: June 2024

This article shares helpful, research-backed ways that parents can support minority languages in their children's lives. Many parents around the world face language struggles, including losing heritage languages to the community language or trying to support a foreign language to increase future opportunities. For example, parents in Mexico may want to encourage their children to speak Nahuatl with older family members, but the children prefer Spanish due to its widespread use and status in the community. This same family may encourage their children to study English in order to increase future employment and travel opportunities. However, asking children to become bi- or even trilingual can feel like a time-intensive, stressful, and expensive task. It doesn't have to be a negative experience, though! This article provides tips and strategies, both theoretical and practical, for encouraging minority language study and use in the household, touching on aspects of bilingualism such as literacy, inter-sibling language use, technology, and cost-cutting measures. Families from all over the globe and of any size can utilize this information to encourage bilingualism or multilingualism in their families.
Phonological and Morphological Basis Underlying the English Graphophonemic Knowledge of Preparatory Year Students at Saudi Universities
Authors:   Najran University, Almekhlafy Sultan Saleh Ahmed
Published: June 2024

Graphophonemic (GP) knowledge of a language represents the foundation of a good learning start point. In the English as a foreign language (EFL) context, many learners lack adequate GP knowledge of English, resulting in difficulty to master the language skills even at the tertiary level. Thus, this study investigated first-year university, commonly known as Preparatory Year (PY), students' GP knowledge of English. To do this, the study made use of two instruments "a survey of students" answer scripts and an English GP Knowledge Survey (EGPKS). The first instrument included the survey of the Diagnostic Test answer scripts of PY students' Listening and Speaking and Writing subjects. In addition, the English GP knowledge survey was developed and administered to 252 PY students at Najran University. The results were analyzed with the crosscheck method of both instruments to validate the data and results. The results of both instruments showed that approximately 50% of the participants did not have adequate GP knowledge, which included English phonological and morphological bases. The phonological bases included graph/digraph to consonant or vowel phonemes and graph/digraph to zero phonemes, and the morphological bases included syllable division structure and adding suffixes. The study gave a close picture of the PY students' GP knowledge that would be a useful teaching resource in similar EFL contexts.
Promises and Pitfalls of the Higher Secondary English Textbook of Bangladesh: A Critical Evaluation
Authors:   Independent University Bangladesh, Islam Md Shaiful , Stapa Mahani Bt ,   Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Rahman Mohammad Mosiur ,   BRAC University
Published: June 2024

The selection of a textbook, its evaluation, and the implementation of this evaluation are all processes integral to the improvement of students’ proficiency in English. The current evaluation of the higher secondary English For Today (EFT) (Hani & Siddika, 2018) textbook intends to examine if the textbook possesses the credentials and credibility necessary to achieve the aims and objectives of the higher secondary English curriculum. Using interview and document analysis, the current researchers analyzed the higher secondary curriculum, the textbook itself, and other relevant documents. The layout of the textbook, its contents, language level, organization, skills covered, classroom activities, methods of assessment, illustrations, and quality of print are considered. The strengths and weaknesses of the textbook have been identified by the critical evaluation conducted by the researchers. Although the textbook has strengths, such as diverse contents, and the writers’ consciousness of “glocal subjectivity” (Khan & Rahaman, 2019, p.169), it has some limitations, such as, exclusion of listening skills, inadequate communicative tasks and activities, overuse of traditional assessment methods, and poor quality of images and illustrations. To overcome the limitations, the researchers suggest using high quality paper and images, and to integrate diverse communicative tasks and activities, and assessment methods. The researchers also suggest that more attention is required by the policy makers in order to more effectively implement the goals and objectives of the higher secondary curriculum. Furthermore, integration of intended learning outcomes (ILOs) in each lesson, consideration of novelty in designing tasks and activities, involving subject experts in writing textbook, provision of recommended readings, and consideration of 21st century skills in designing tasks and activities will enable the textbook to help learners develop proficiency in English. The findings of the study may inspire the scholars, researchers, practitioners, and textbook developers in Bangladesh and beyond in various academic subject areas at the higher secondary level to be more aware of the curriculum goals and objectives while writing the textbooks.

Published: June 2024

Many of the first-year undergraduate students who enroll in universities, particularly in top-ranked private universities in Bangladesh, struggle with getting good grades. As a result, many students look forward to a bleak future, dropping out midway through their studies. Thus, improving the rates of graduation and reducing the rates of attrition is extremely important at the tertiary level in Bangladesh. The predominant determinants (whether personal or family related) that predict the institutional causes of student attrition before graduation need consideration and investigation. In order to investigate the strongest predictor from the above mentioned determinants, a survey questionnaire (with a five-Likert scale) was designed and applied to 390 EFL students who were pursuing their degrees in four disciplines at a university in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The current study employed multiple regression analyses and found that family related determinant causes not only closely correlated with institutional determinant attributes, but contributed the most in predicting student dropout rates. The results of the current study will have further implications for researchers, educational administrators, and policy makers at the tertiary level.

Human-Nature Connection: Eco-ethical Reading of Louise Gluck’s The Wild Iris
Authors: Upadhyay Toya Nath , Paudyal Janak
Published: June 2024

Relationship connotes a power relation of one reaping the benefits at the expense of the other; where connection demands mutual respect and benefits on both sides. In a transactional and utilitarian view, nature has been conceptualized as a source on which humanity consumes. However, ecofeminists believe that there is another way possible that offers mutual coexistence and respect. This brings us to understand nature is neither a source nor only a victim; it is an entity that deserves ethical behavior from human beings. This paper finds a sense of such ethicality in Louise Gluck’s poetry collection ‘The Wild Iris’ (1992) where her use of images reinvents human-nature connectivity through humanity’s realization of its mortality and the natural world’s infinite spiritual renewal and potential for regeneration. Reading her poetry from an ecofeminism perspective by applying the insights of Val Plumwood, this paper claims that environmental ethics is a profit-loss calculation, thus representing humanity’s relationship to nature, where eco-ethical reading demands subtle ways of forging interconnection between humans and nature.
The perspectives of Hydrogen Valleys in Poland
Authors: Bałamut Anna
Published: June 2024

Green transformation is a term primarily referring to the process of societal and economic change towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly development. For this to take place, the energy balance should include renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, or geothermal energy, energy efficiency to limit greenhouse gas emissions, electromobility, a circular economy, infrastructure modernization, and pro-environmental policies. Green hydrogen is also a solution. It is an energy carrier that can become a crucial pillar of the transformation of the Polish economy. The hydrogen economy in Poland is expected to be based on the creation of hydrogen valleys, in line with the European Union's hydrogen strategy, and will be a coherent element of the European Hydrogen Ecosystem. Additionally, achieving the climate neutrality of the EU, as well as Poland, is not possible without the widespread use of green hydrogen in energy production, gas, industry, and transportation. However, a crucial condition is that this hydrogen must come from emission-free renewable energy. Key words: Poland, EU, hydrogen, energy transformation, hydrogen valleys, renewable energy sources, strategy

Authors: Zaffar Kashoo Faizan , Ahmad Mehrunnisha , Sidiq Mohammad
Published: June 2024

Background: Gait training after stroke is of paramount importance for independent living and quality of life. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of forward and backward walking over a firm level and a sandy surface on gait parameters among stroke patients. Methods: A total of 20 subjects randomly assigned to four groups were evaluated on various gait parameters while walking on a firm level surface and on sand. Baseline evaluation of temporal and spatial parameters of gait was conducted through stride analysis and final measurement after 3 weeks of intervention. Results: Backward walking on sand showed a statistically significant improvement in walking velocity, cadence, step/stride length, and gait symmetry among chronic stroke patients. Conclusion: The results of this study support the use of backward walking on sand as a new tool to improve functional walking among stroke patients. Such enhanced improvement can be attributed to the fact that backward walking on sand is more challenging than forward walking.
