Published: August 2024

The emergence of immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), represents a groundbreaking approach to treating gastric cancer (GC). However, the prognosis of GC patients receiving ICI treatment is influenced by various factors. This manuscript identified sarcopenia and myosteatosis as inde-pendent prognostic factors impacting the outcomes of GC patients treated with ICIs. Additionally, this study introduced a visual predictive model to estimate the prognosis of GC patients. If confirmed by further studies, this observation could provide valuable insights to propel the advancement of personalized clinical medicine and the integration of precision medicine practices.
Ferroptosis in liver diseases: Fundamental mechanism and clinical implications
Authors: Lai Ming-Shuang , Yan Xi-Peng , Branch Donald R , Loriamini Melika , Chen Li-Min
Published: August 2024

This editorial discusses a recently published paper in the World Journal of Gastroenterology . Our research focuses on p53's regulatory mechanism for controlling ferroptosis, as well as the intricate connection between ferroptosis and liver diseases. Ferroptosis is a specific form of programmed cell death that is de-pendent on iron and displays unique features in terms of morphology, biology, and genetics, distinguishing it from other forms of cell death. Ferroptosis can affect the liver, which is a crucial organ responsible for iron storage and meta-bolism. Mounting evidence indicates a robust correlation between ferroptosis and the advancement of liver disorders. P53 has a dual effect on ferroptosis through various distinct signaling pathways. However, additional investigations are required to clarify the regulatory function of p53 metabolic targets in this complex association with ferroptosis. In the future, researchers should clarify the mechanisms by which ferroptosis and other forms of programmed cell death contribute to the progression of liver diseases. Identifying and controlling important regulatory factors associated with ferroptosis present a promising therapeutic strategy for liver disorders.
Transforming University English with CLIL Curricula:
An In-depth Case Study
Authors: Wadden Paul
Published: August 2024

How will universities throughout Japan meet future challenges of enhancing students’ English academic skills to achieve MEXT goals, prepare students for study abroad and EMI courses at home, and boost overall international English-language competitiveness? Adopting CLIL-based curricula is one promising solution. Based on a four-year MEXT grant to researchers at four major universities, this article describes action-research curricular reform of a first-year English program with 230 students. Its research objective was to design an effective content-based curriculum to improve academic readiness for study in English and significantly boost TOEFL scores. The researchers/curriculum designers examine the reform background, innovative steps taken, significant difficulties encountered, initial results, and remaining challenges. In Year 1, a pilot was conducted in which three of 16 classes adopted a partial CLIL curriculum; in Year 2, all 16 classes engaged in coordinated four-class-per-week study of liberal arts fields including sociology, economics, earth science, biology, and natural history; in Year 3, this CLIL study expanded to five classes a week. For the past 10 years, the curriculum designers’ university has used the TOEFL ITP as a benchmark for English improvement, administering the exam to students at the beginning and end of their first year. In 2022, the year of the first full implementation of the CLIL curriculum, students’ TOEFL ITP gain was 140% greater than the average score gains in the previous seven years. In 2023, the score gain of students was 107% higher than the seven-year average. In Year 4 of the curriculum reform (2024), researchers-curriculum designers hope to share curricular materials on a common platform to partner with other universities.

Using the MOTHER Model to Enhance Teaching
Authors: Haruyama Duangsamorn
Published: August 2024

Based on the results of class surveys and classroom observation, the author noticed that there was something in her teaching that needed to be improved. The author decided to conduct an action research project guided by Kurt Lewin’s model (planning, acting, observing, reflecting), in order to reflect on her teaching and understand the reasons behind the problems exhibited by students. To address these problems, the author developed the MOTHER model (management, overall language learning, teams and tasks, hands-on activities, engagement and encouragement, and relaxation) and applied it to her English classes to create a better learning environment and enhance student motivation.

Faculty Development: Supporting University Instructors' Transition to an EGAP Program
Authors: Kidd Josh , Banwell Rory
Published: August 2024

This research responds to the increase in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses in Japanese tertiary education, which has revealed a shortage of qualified instructors and established training programs (Iijima et al., 2020). To address this, the English Program at a national university has initiated an induction program as a key element in a more extensive faculty development (FD) training initiative for university instructors transitioning from English for General Purposes (EGP) programs to EAP. This initial phase asserts that educators, to effectively switch to EAP contexts, need to understand fundamental differences between EGP and EAP. The FD placed teachers in small groups to collaboratively examine EAP (a) context, (b) teacher and learner roles, and (c) teaching and learning content (Alexander et al., 2019). Pre- and post-FD surveys revealed shifts in teachers’ perceptions of EAP, underscoring the importance of FD to support educators’ successful transition to the EAP context.
本研究は、日本の大学教育における学術目的のための英語コース English for Academic Purposes（EAP） の増加に対応するものである。EAPコースを教える有資格の指導者や確立された研修プログラムの不足が明らかになっている（Iijima et al., 2020）。これに対応するため、ある国立大学の英語プログラムでは、English for General Purposes（EGP）からEAPに移行するプログラムの教員を対象とした、広範なFD（Faculty Development）トレーニングの主要な要素として、導入研修プログラムを開始した。この初期のフェーズでは、指導者がEAPのコンテクストに効果的に移行するためには、EGPとEAPの基本的な違いを理解する必要がある。FDでは、EAPのコンテクスト、教員と学生の役割、学習内容について、教員を小グループに分けて共同で検討した（Alexander et al., 2019）。FD前後の調査では、教員のEAPに対する認識が変化したことが明らかになり、教員がEAPのコンテクストにうまく移行できるよう、FDによる継続的なサポートの重要性が強調された。
Imagining a Career as a Language Teacher in Japan
Authors: Clements Peter
Published: August 2024

Researchers now recognize the importance of supporting the development of language teacher identity (LTI) among teachers-in-training, and one way of doing this is to have teachers systematically reflect on their own stories. This study presents an analysis of narratives and subsequent reflections written by Japanese preservice teachers (PSTs) aiming to acquire an English teacher’s license. Data consist of 14 PSTs’ written texts and follow-up interviews with six of them. Using imagined communities (Anderson, 1991) as a theoretical framework, the analysis highlights the ways in which participants envisioned their future teaching careers, including the kinds of teachers they wanted to become, the working conditions they expected to face, and the impact of educational culture on their day-to-day practice. The study demonstrates the potential utility of having PSTs engage in systematic reflection on their own narratives as a means of encouraging LTI development and points to several avenues of further research.
先行研究では、教育実習生の言語教師アイデンティティ（LTI）の発達を支援することが重要という認識があり、そのための一つの方法として、教師たちに自分自身の物語を分析的に振り返ってもらうことが挙げられる。本研究は、英語教員免許の取得を目指す日本の教育実習生（PSTs）が書いたナラティブおよび振り返りを分析したものである。データは、14名の教育実習生（PSTs）の文章と、そのうちの6名への追跡インタビューから成る。理論的枠組みとして「想像の共同体」(imagined communities）（Anderson, 1991）という概念を用いることで、参加者が理想とする教師像や、直面することが予測される労働条件、教育文化が日々の実践に与える影響など、将来の教師としてのキャリアをどのように思い描いているのかを調査した。結果は、言語教師アイデンティティ（LTI）の発達を促す手段として、教育実習生（PSTs）に自らのナラティブについて系統的に内省を行わせることが有効である可能性を示すとともに、今後の研究についていくつかの課題を示した。
Multiple Document Reading in Japanese Undergraduate English Majors
Authors: Smiley Jim
Published: August 2024

The ability to assess information from multiple sources is crucial in academic writing (Moon, 2008). Japanese undergraduate writers tend to trust authoritative sources over anonymous ones in everyday topics in their L1 (Kobayashi, 2014) and can argue coherently on familiar social topics in English (L2) (Stapleton, 2001, 2002). However, how they handle unresolved debates in their field is unclear. This study examines how advanced third-year English majors resolve discipline-specific controversies in second-language theory. Using a mixed-methods approach, participants read conflicting articles on the CPH (critical period hypothesis), answered comprehension questions, wrote about their CPH beliefs, and underwent semi-structured interviews. The qualitative findings suggest that prior beliefs, personal experiences, and opinions heavily influence students’ perspectives, and encountering alternative viewpoints may not foster the expected critical engagement at this level.
アカデミック・ライティングにおいて、複数の情報源から得た情報を評価する能力は重要である（Moon, 2008）。日本の大学生ライターは、日常的な話題については、未知の情報源よりも権威ある情報源を信頼し（小林、2014）、身近な社会的話題については、整合性のある議論をすることができる（Stapleton、2001、2002）。しかし、彼らが専門分野における未解決の議論をどのように扱うかは不明である。本研究では、英語専攻の上級である3年生が、第二言語理論における学問的論争をどのように解決するかを調査する。混合法を用いて、参加者は臨界期仮説（CPH）に関する対立論文を読み、理解度に関する質問に答え、CPHに関する自身の信念について書き、半構造化面接を受けた。質的調査の結果から、事前の信念、個人的な経験、意見が彼らの見解に大きな影響を与えること、また、異なる視点との出会いが、このレベルで期待される批判的な関与を必ずしも促さないことが示唆された。

PLOT AND STRUCTURE IN A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF "KING LEAR" BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Authors:   Technical Institute of Najaf, Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University, Iraq, Al-Shamarti Ahlam Dhahir Mohsin
Published: August 2024

Known for its complicated character interactions and complex narrative, William Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear is the subject of this paper's critical analysis of the play's structure and plot. The analysis centers on the ways in which Shakespeare enhances the play's thematic resonance through the utilization of structural components, subplots, and parallel narratives. Shakespeare explores themes of power, insanity, familial devotion, and human suffering by intertwining King Lear and Gloucester's narratives. The symmetrical split of the play into acts and scenes reflects the fall into anarchy that occurs when Lear's power crumbles. The structural elements are also considered in this analysis, as they add to the dramatic tension by emphasizing the inevitable disaster through the pace of events. Dramatic irony and foreshadowing are also examined in the article; these devices are fundamental to the structural intricacy of the play and help the audience become more invested in the tragedy as it unfolds. Based on what we know now, King Lear's structural aspects are more than just plot devices; they are fundamental to the play's thematic development and provide light on the human condition via Shakespeare's expert use of the plot.
POSTMODERNIST VIEWS OF TIME AND SPACE IN LITERATURE
Authors:   Ministry of Education, Najaf Governorate Directorate, Iraq, Sadeq Zaid Razzaq
Published: August 2024

Rejecting canonical narrative forms and ideas, postmodern literature presents a fresh perspective on the passage of time and geographical location. In contrast to the linear and cohesive representations of time and space expected in modernist literature, postmodernist works often embrace dislocation, fragmentation, and distorted timelines. Through metafiction, intertextuality, and non-linear tales, this study investigates how postmodern writers question traditional ideas of space and time. These methods show time as cyclical, irrelevant, or fluid, which disrupts the reader's perception of a steady, chronological development. Similarly, postmodern literature frequently portrays space as hyperreal, fragmented, or disjointed, reflecting a world where the lines between the tangible and the abstract are increasingly blurred. This study analyses seminal postmodern works to see how these changed views of space and time fit into a more extensive critique of postmodern reality, identity, and meaning stability. According to the results, postmodern literature does more than make us rethink the passage of time; it also prompts us to wonder what it means to exist.

Published: August 2024

Discoveries in medicine concerning the influence of light on human physiology provoked the creation of the Human Centric Lighting (HCL) approach. Research dedicated to this mainly focuses on optimally matching light parameters to human needs, e.g. increasing concentration, relaxation, etc. However, only a properly designed light source is capable of meeting HCL goals. This paper focuses on the LED luminaire design used in HCL systems. A review of LEDs dedicated to HCL systems was performed. Their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The Tunable White (TW) design is shown to be the most universal solution for HCL systems because it enables regulation of the colour temperature and spectrum, depending on user needs. However, TW is also the most complex in design. The problems that might arise during TW luminaire design are discussed. Example strategies on how to solve them, focusing on colour mixing and LED arrangement are given. Practical examples of TW luminaire design are also described, each one with a commentary covering encountered issues and their solutions.
