Published: November 2022

Magnesium, as a biomaterial, can successfully replace traditional materials that are used today as implants (titanium, chromium, cobalt, etc.) due to its numerous advantages. Nevertheless, the high rate of corrosion is a serious obstacle that needs to be eliminated for its widespread implementation in practice as an implant. The present research is aimed at assessing the applicability and degree of influence of laser shock wave processing technology on the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy samples, as well as establishing the relationship of the operating parameters of the laser shock wave treatment, in particular, the degree of overlap, on the corrosion rate. Finite element modeling was carried out in the Abaqus package. Based on the results obtained using the mass loss method, it was found that the corrosion rate in both samples with a degree of overlap of 0% and samples with a degree of overlap of 66% decreased by more than 50% compared to untreated samples. At the same time, the least corrosion was found on samples with an overlap degree of 66%.
L’hybridation numérique dans un établissement en pédagogie active : l’expérience des étudiants de EPITECH
Authors: BOURGEOIS Nicolas , PAPARISTEIDI Nefeli
Published: November 2022

Cette étude a pour cadre l’école EPITECH, un établissement d’enseignement supérieur en informatique, fonctionnant en pédagogie active. Comme les autres établissements scolaires, cette école a dû faire face à la nécessité de recourir massivement à l’hybridation numérique avec un temps d’adaptation relativement court. La question posée est de savoir si, au-delà des aspects disciplinaires et du public concerné, la dimension constructiviste de la pédagogie a effectivement favorisé cette transition. Dans ce papier nous proposons une cartographie des méthodes déployées et de l’expérience étudiante dans le cadre de l’hybridation, en nous basant sur les observations réalisées sur le terrain et les témoignages des étudiants et des pédagogues. Notre conclusion est que les méthodes de pédagogie active, une fois intégrées, sont un outil favorisant le passage à l’hybridation numérique. Nous pensons que cette étude contribue à étayer à la fois l’existence de l’effet établissement, et l’intérêt spécifique de la pédagogie active à des fins de transition numérique et hybride.
Le transfert des compétences d’usages numériques
Authors: Payn Mathieu , Derrac Louis , Alvarez Lionel
Published: November 2022

L’école publique souhaite mettre dans les mains des élèves des ordinateurs, tablettes ou convertibles pour envisager l’éducation numérique. Les compétences d’usages numériques — au sens de maîtrise de l’utilisation — deviennent alors centrales pour permettre à toutes et tous d’apprendre. Mais comment se développent-elles ? Sont-elles transférables d’un outil/environnement à l’autre ? À l’aide d’une revue systématique de la littérature, la transférabilité des compétences d’usages numériques est discutée. Il a été identifié un manque criant de savoirs scientifiques systématiques et fondés sur des résultats empiriques documentant si oui ou non, les compétences d’usages numériques sont transférables et avec quelles médiations. Il semble aujourd’hui impossible de dire avec certitude ce qu’exige le passage d’un outil numérique à l’autre sur le plan des compétences. En l’état, il est difficile d’envisager sereinement les équipements informatiques scolaires.
Data-driven Reaction Template Fingerprints
Authors: Chakraborty Anubhab , Thakkar Amol , Vaucher Alain C. , Laino Teodoro
Published: November 2022

Chemical reactions can be classified into distinct categories that encapsulate concepts for how one molecule is transformed into another. One can encode these concepts in rules specifying the set of atoms and bonds that change during a transformation, which is commonly known as a reaction template. While there exist multiple possibilities to represent a chemical reaction in a vector representation, or fingerprint, this is not the case for reaction templates. As a consequence, methods to navigate the space of reaction templates are limited. In this work, we introduce the first reaction template fingerprint. To this end, we follow a data-driven approach relying on a masked language modelling task on SMIRKS strings. We combine unsupervised pre-training with fine-tuning on the classification of templates according to the RXNO ontology, for which we achieve up to 98.4% classification accuracy. We highlight how the learned embeddings can be extracted and used in downstream applications.
Towards more reproducible and FAIRer research data: documenting provenance during data acquisition using the Infofile format
Authors: Paulus Bernd , Biskup Till
Published: November 2022

Information, i.e. data, is regarded as the new oil in the 21st century. The impact of this statement from economics for science and the research community is reflected in the hugely increasing number of machine-learning and artificial intelligence applications that were one driving force behind writing out the FAIR principles. However, any form of data (re)use requires the provenance of the data to be recorded. Hence, recording metadata during data acquisition is both, an essential aspect of and as old as science itself. Here, we discuss the why, when, what, and how of research data documentation and present a simple textual file format termed Infofile developed for this purpose. This format allows researchers in the lab to record all relevant metadata during data acquisition in a user-friendly and obvious way while minimising any external dependencies. The resulting machine-actionable metadata in turn allow processing and analysis software to access relevant information, besides making the research data more reproducible and FAIRer. By demonstrating a simple, yet powerful and proven solution to the problem of metadata recording during data acquisition, we anticipate the Infofile format and its underlying principles to have great impact on the reproducibility and hence quality of science, particularly in the field of "little science" lacking established and well-developed software toolchains and standards.
Constructing fan charts from the ragged edge of SPF forecasts
Authors: Clark Todd E. , Ganics Gergely , Mertens Elmar
Published: November 2022

We develop a model that permits the estimation of a term structure of both expectations and forecast uncertainty for application to professional forecasts such as the Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF). Our approach exactly replicates a given data set of predictions from the SPF (or a similar forecast source) without measurement error. Our model captures fixed horizon and fixed-event forecasts, and can accommodate changes in the maximal forecast horizon available from the SPF. The model casts a decomposition of multi-period forecast errors into a sequence of forecast updates that may be partially unobserved, resulting in a multivariate unobserved components model. In our empirical analysis, we provide quarterly term structures of expectations and uncertainty bands. Our preferred specification features stochastic volatility in forecast updates, which improves forecast performance and yields model estimates of forecast uncertainty that vary over time. We conclude by constructing SPF-based fan charts for calendar-year forecasts like those published by the Federal Reserve.

INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING AND ARCHITECTONICS OF POLITICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Bozhko Pavlo
Published: November 2022

In the process of modernization, based on the development of the potential of public administration and the growth of social capital, an open type of interaction between the state and society is formed, where institutions act as the necessary conductors of direct and reverse signals within the framework of a flexible political and administrative system.

It is pointed out that institution building in order to minimize the risks of falling into institutional traps should take into account the peculiarity of the institutional architecture, which is determined by the hierarchy of formal rules, and provide for the complication of the procedure for changing institutions as their rank grows. Taking into account the hierarchy of rules makes it possible to track the change in the role of formal / informal institutions, when a decrease in the level of the rules of the institutional architecture increases the importance of informal institutions in the management process.

It is argued that informal norms play a large role in the functioning of the political market. The state as a subject of management is interested in the formalization of emerging informal practices. The stability and predictability of managerial influences grow when formal institutions absorb informal ones. Two ways of changing the architecture of institutions as a result of such a takeover are considered. The first, administrative-legal way: the gradual consolidation of informal practices as generally recognized in formal institutions, that is, the legalization of informal restrictions.The second way consists naturally in the conditions of a low level of the political and administrative potential of the state: informal practices are embedded in the mechanism of action of formal institutions and destroy them from the inside, creating the effect of subversive institutions, which creates favorable conditions for institutional traps on the way to the formation of political and administrative institutions of modernization. In addition, a situation is possible when formal and informal rules and norms interact as independent (autonomous) entities, and then, as a result, a certain type of institutional environment is formed, which differs in the way of interaction between formal and informal institutions.
DISCOURSE IN A CONTEXT OF POLITICAL POWER RELATIONS
Authors: Andrushko Vladyslav
Published: November 2022

The object of this research is modern political power relations. The discourse is studied in the traditions of postmodernism, including as a ‘picture of the world’, cognitive model, worldview and the limits of what is possible in the thinking and behaviour of individuals. According to the discourse theories, all objects of reality are discursive, that is, any phenomenon is inscribed in a context that gives it full meaning. All objects of the surrounding world can acquire different meanings (or identities) depending on the specific circumstances in which they are immersed. Discourse is a way of ordering reality, a mechanism for determining the values of people. The subject of power in this context is understood as a collective or individual actor who has special access to the discourse and can control it. According to Foucault’s theory, discourse can be identified with power.

This research finds that discourse is the most efficient power resource because it touches every part of a person’s existence. The paper explains the problem from both sides: as the development of political discourse theories on the one hand and as the innovative research of modern power relations in a context of discursive technologies on the other hand. The research is based on the works of M. Foucault, T. Van Dijk, L. Althusser, A. Gramsci, E. Laclau and Sh. Mouff, all of whom measured discourse in a variety of ways. Thus, in our research, we used such theoretical methods for analysis, classification and comparison.

The analysis of discourse undertaken here has extended our knowledge of political power relations. The findings in this study provide a new understanding of discourse as a cognition that actualises many questions for further investigations.

The findings may be of interest for both scholars and students who study political power in general or discourse as a picture of the world in particular.
FINANCING OF STATUTORY ACTIVITIES OF POLITICAL PARTIES IN UKRAINE IN 2019 BY CITIZENS
Authors: Zernytskyi Ruslan
Published: November 2022

The problem of functioning of parties from the point of view of their financing and sources of income is considered. It is indicated that in Ukraine both individuals and legal entities can make contributions to parties and requirements for potential donors and the mechanism for transferring funds to parties are enshrined at the legislative level. Since 2016 Ukrainian parties have been required to submit financial reports to indicate all contributions in their favor. It has been established that during 2019 sixteen most rated and media parties («Bat`kivshhy`na», «Rady`kal`na partiya Olega Lyashka», «Sluga narodu», «Yevropejs`ka solidarnist`», «Opozy`cijny`j blok», «Golos», «Samopomich», «Ukrayins`ka strategiya Grojsmana», «Opozy`cijna platforma – Za zhy`ttya», «Narodny`j front», «Svoboda», «Sy`la i chest`», «Partiya Shariya», «Sy`la lyudej», «Ukrayins`ka galy`cz`ka partiya» and «Nash kraj») received contributions made by 10 533 individuals and 261 legal entities, which is about 0.026% of the population of Ukraine. But one recent poll on the financing of political parties shows that the proportion of Ukrainians willing to donate to parties is much higher, at about 12%. This indicates a significant gap between the actual state of affairs and the desires and capabilities of voters, which should be taken into account by representatives of political parties to reduce their dependence on the state and big business. It was also found out that the average contribution to these 16 parties for the year was about UAH 200,000 (about USD 7,200). It is concluded that, given the public interest in the topic of financing of political parties, in the future it will be necessary to analyze how the situation got changed in 2020.
PROBLEMS OF URBANIZATION AND DEURBANIZATION IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
Authors: Gaiko Oleg
Published: November 2022

The features of the urbanization process in the modern world are considered. The demographic and historical prerequisites of urbanization in the industrial era (on the example of Europe) are highlighted in a historical retrospective. It was found that successful and rapid urbanization in Europe during the modern era became possible due to the surplus of the rural population, industrial demand for labor, and the existence of effective state and municipal management. The main prerequisites for deurbanization (ruralization) in modern developed regions are presented. It is shown that deurbanization (ruralization) in developed regions is a serious problem due to possible large-scale negative consequences for entire regions of the world, which is considered within the framework of international security. Specific features of the urbanization process in developing regions are analyzed; attention is focused on the fact that the process of urbanization in these regions is largely due to demographic pressure combined with the absence of demand for this size of the workforce in cities and with the absence of effective state / municipal institutions and infrastructure. Dangerous consequences for developing states and regions of a socio-political and economic nature from such a rapid urbanization are considered. The peculiarity of deurbanization in the developed regions of the world and the rapid urbanization of a significant part of the developing regions are revealed. It is shown that such opposite tendencies as deurbanization (ruralization) in developed regions and the process of rapid urbanization in developing regions is a deviation from the balanced model of urbanization that was formed during the modern era, and pose a risk and threat to national, regional and international security , since they create imbalances that can cause socio-political and economic instability in states and regions.
POPULISM IN SLOVAKIA: PECULIARITIES OF A POLITICAL PHENOMENON
Authors: Klyuchkovych Anatoliy
Published: November 2022

The article analyzes the party-political aspects of populism in the Slovak Republic. The structural distinction between the parties of systemic mainstream and populism has come to the forefront of Slovakia's party-political development. The aim of the article is to highlight the specifics of the phenomenon of populism, its forms and party representatives in Slovakia. Considering the emergence and electoral success of populist parties, there is a need to emphasize the complexity of the phenomenon of populism in the modern Slovak Republic. Populists do not have clear ideological attitudes. they use the maxims of various ideological doctrines, which are based on practical needs. The distinction between systemic and populist parties is becoming more complicated today, as their positions on a number of important political issues have converged recently

In the process of post-communist development in the Slovak Republic there was a transition from radical forms of populist politics through nationalism and authoritarianism to more moderate tendencies. Populist parties in the CEE countries, and in particular in the Slovak Republic, are characterized by the following features: opposition of the elite and the people based on moral grounds, desire to act as defenders of the people’s interests; anti-immigration, Eurosceptic, anti-globalization orientation of the messages; low level of institutionalization, etc. The main forms of manifestation of Slovak populism are determined: social, national, charismatic, centrist, far-right populism.

The article emphasizes that the key trend is the growth of populism in the election campaigns of Slovak parties and competition on the market of populist slogans. Protest calls, social demagoguery, and national populism are electorally perceptible issues that are being pursued by both the opposition and ruling political force. The parliamentary elections of 2020, which can be characterized as «triumph of populism», were an important stage for the development of the party system in Slovakia. The success of the populists and the defeat of the liberal parties in the 2020 elections testify to the crisis of systemic politics and democratic institutions in general, which poses risks to the stable development of Slovakia.
DEMOCRATIZATION / DEDEMOCRATIZATION OF POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS IN AZERBAIJAN
Authors: Rahimli Mubariz
Published: November 2022

The democratization of political institutions in the Republic of Azerbaijan is considered in the context of the formation of a new world order and at the same time as a natural process of transformation of the Azerbaijani society, taking into account the historical, geopolitical and other features of the country. The author emphasizes the causal relationship between the cardinal transformation and the acceleration of the pace of globalization, which is reflected in the formation of a new understanding of the essence of democracy in transformational societies, and, accordingly, in the positive and negative results of changes. The development of constitutionalism in Azerbaijan from 1918 to 2016 is traced as a reflection of the gradual democratization of the country's political system and the strengthening of unifying tendencies. Particular attention is paid to the periodization of democratization in Azerbaijan, starting from the time of gaining political independence in 1991. The assessment of institutional changes by both domestic and foreign political analysts is provided. The article deals with the relations of the Republic of Azerbaijan with partner countries and neighbors - Turkey, EU, RF. The article examines the positive and negative factors of democratization. The strengthening of the institutions of an independent state, Azerbaijan's accession to the Council of Europe in 2001, the creation of ASAN public service centers on the principle of "one window" are indicated among positive achievements; the continuation of the strict rules of the oligarchy, the preservation of neo-patrimonial features of the political regime, social inequality, the unpreparedness of a certain part of the political elite for the process of deepening democracy, the underdevelopment of civil society, resistance to a real fight against corruption, and others are indicated among the negative factors.

It is concluded that the role of the state and the political class, especially the ruling elite, is significantly increasing in countries that are carrying out political and economic transformation during the transition period.

According to the passage rules of ships in the bidirectional channel, the realistic conditions of the limited number of tugboats in the port are taken into account. This paper studies the problems faced in the integrated scheduling optimization in terms of ship arrival and departure and tugboat allocation in two-way channel. A mixed integer programming model with minimum waiting time was established, and a heuristic algorithm was designed to solve the problem. Experimental results show that the model and algorithm in this paper can effectively solve such problems and provide support for port management.
El mal de la taiga: una versión de la explotación de personas y recursos naturales en Latinoamérica
Authors: Juan Zegarra Acevedo Allen
Published: November 2022

El mal de la taiga (2012) de Cristina Rivera Garza tiene como escenario a una lejana e inmensa región de bosques de coníferas que alberga a seres perturbados por un mal cuyo origen fluctúa entre lo mental y lo espiritual. Sin embargo, Rivera Garza traslada a la taiga un tema socioambiental que atañe a Latinoamérica. La trata de personas vinculada a la explotación de recursos naturales emerge de manera sutil en la en la novela. A través de la presencia de leñadores en los prostíbulos, Rivera Garza sugiere una interrelación entre la trata de personas y los depredadores de los bosques. Tanto los leñadores como las prostitutas (víctimas de trata) representan dos eslabones de una problemática con características distintivas en Latinoamérica. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la explotación de recursos naturales y de personas en El mal de la taiga en paralelo con la realidad latinoamericana en esos mismos ámbitos. Basado en artículos, informes, reportajes y testimonios, el análisis concluye que El mal de la taiga es una versión novelada de un mal que, en realidad, aqueja a Latinoamérica. Abstract El mal de la taiga (2012) by Cristina Rivera Garza is set in a vast faraway region of coniferous forests inhabited by human beings perturbed by an illness whose origin could be either mental or spiritual. However, Rivera Garza extrapolates a socio-environmental problem that affects Latin America to the taiga. Human trafficking connected with the exploitation of natural resources emerges subtly in the novel. Through the presence of loggers in brothels, Rivera Garza suggests a relationship between human trafficking and the predators of forests. Loggers as well as prostitutes (victims of human trafficking) represent two links of a problem with distinct features in Latin America. This analysis aims at looking into the exploitation of natural resources and that of persons in El mal de la taiga while comparing the same issues in Latin America. Based on articles, investigative accounts, reports, and testimonies, the analysis concludes that El mal de la taiga is a fictionalized version of a problem that indeed affects Latin America.
Madness, the Grotesque and Female Identity in “Exquisita ama de casa” and “El juego de la demencia” by Krisma Mancía
Authors: Patricia Chiquillo Raquel
Published: November 2022

Krisma Mancía (1980, El Salvador) is one of the most promising members of the postwar generation of young Salvadoran poets. Like Jacinta Escudos, Claudia Hernández and Vanessa Núñez Handal in prose, Krisma Mancía breaks free of the taboos still found within Salvadoran society that have kept women’s issues out of literary discourse longer than in other Latin American countries, and brings them to the forefront in her poetry. In this study, I focus on analyzing the poems “Exquisita ama de casa” and “El juego de la demencia,” both from the collection La era del llanto (2004) and showing how difficult it is for the female subjects to break free from patriarchal order and create an independent, strong female identity. Krisma Mancía delves deeply into the contradictions inherent in Salvadoran society to give us a harrowing look at two repressive expectations still placed upon Salvadoran women today: that of the traditional housewife and of the obedient and lady-like daughter. Through grotesque, often surrealistic images, and multiple voices within the poems, Mancía shows us how these societal expectations result in women becoming monstrous, becoming chimeras that can only find freedom in a descent into madness and rage.
Del juego a la exploración de la identidad: el uso del vestido como lenguaje en El pergamino de la seducción
Authors: Rico-Godoy Sara
Published: November 2022

Este artículo analiza el uso de los vestidos de Juana de Castilla en la novela El pergamino de la seducción de la autora nicaragüense Gioconda Belli para explicar cómo cada uno representa una forma de comunicación y la herramienta para diferenciar de la voz de Juana de Castilla de la del personaje protagonista Lucía, quien es la que usa los vestidos. El análisis se hace partiendo de las ideas de Roland Barthes en su texto El sistema de la moda donde propone la idea de la moda y la vestimenta como un sistema de signos comunicativos. Este análisis también busca demostrar como los vestidos además de ser un discurso en sí funcionan como eslabón para que el personaje de Lucía explore la identidad sexual a través de su cuerpo. Estas ideas proponen el uso de la moda para cuestionar la identidad y hacer una crítica hacia dos sociedades de épocas diferentes que rechazan la existencia de mujeres autónomas en sus ideales y en su sexualidad.

El nogal pecanero [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh) K. Koch] es uno de los frutales establecidos en el norte de México, donde existe una superficie considerable de suelos con diferente grado de salinidad, a la cual el árbol es sensible. En plántulas inoculadas con Escleroderma sp., se avaluó el efecto de NaCl en concentraciones de 0, 20, 25, 30 y 35 mM, incluyendo un testigo sin inocular y sin NaCl. El experimento se realizó en la Unidad Regional Universitaria de Zonas Áridas en Bermejillo, Durango, México, en condiciones de invernadero. Las plántulas fueron regadas dos veces por semana, durante 2018. Las plantas inoculadas y bajo condición no salina, mostraron la mayor fotosíntesis y transpiración, seguida por las plántulas testigo. La concentración de Na+ en raíz, tallo y hoja fue menor en el testigo y en las plántulas inoculadas y sin NaCl. La concentración de K en plántulas inoculadas y bajo condición salina y no salina fue similar al testigo. La relación k/Na fue mayor en el testigo y en las plántulas inoculadas y bajo condición no salina y disminuyó a medida que incrementó la concentración de NaCl particularmente en raíz. Las plántulas testigo mostraron mayor peso seco en raíz tallo y hoja que las inoculadas con Scleroderma sp. y bajo estrés salino, pero fue menor que en las inoculadas con el hongo y bajo condición no salina. En plántulas bajo estrés salino de 20 y 35 mM, la disminución del peso seco fue de 8.5 y 47%, en comparación al testigo. Las plántulas de nogal inoculadas con Scleroderma sp. y bajo condición no salina, mostraron mejor respuesta fisiológica y de acumulación de biomasa y no bajo condición salina.

Selecting joyful communication activities in English learning is indispensably essential. Undoubtedly, the students prefer joyful communication activities regardless the activities use assisted technology or not. Hence, this study sought to explore joyful communication activities based on EFL students' perceptions. It also aims to elicit students' attitudes toward technology-assisted and non-assisted communication activities. This study employed a mix-methods approach to obtain quantitative and qualitative data on 126 students from various non-English departments at a state university in Indonesia. Distributing the questionnaires was employed to obtain the quantitative data. Meanwhile, the qualitative data was obtained through semi-structured interviews. The findings show that three kinds of activities are recognized as the most joyful communication activities, and 12 are the medium of joyful communication activities. Furthermore, the other 16 activities are at a low position (not recommended). Regarding technology-assisted and non-assisted language learning, the student's attitude shows that they prefer to enjoy technology-non-assisted learning activities over technology-assisted activities. However, several activities using technology-assisted learning still gain students' attraction. The study suggests that lecturers should implement recognized joyful communication activities based on students' preferences for enhancing their interest in communication skill mastery.

With the advancement of technology, today’s language teaching and learning are no longer restricted to classroom face-to-face interaction, but it is going beyond a formal classroom. Drawing on this issue, this study sheds some light on the impact of flipped learning instruction on vocabulary acquisition of English learners as a foreign language, their perception of the practices of flipped learning, and their acceptance of the use of the WhatsApp smartphone application to assist the flipped learning activities. An experimental research design was employed by involving 60 EFL learners who were assigned into flipped (N=30) and conventional (N=30) groups. Learners of the flipped group were taught in combined learning activities before the class using WhatsApp and in-class active practices on vocabulary. This study used multiple data collection sources, including pre and post-tests on English vocabulary, a self-report survey, and a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) questionnaire. The results demonstrated that the EFL learners in the flipped group scored higher in the post-test, and significantly outperformed their counterparts in the conventional group. Moreover, the results of the self-report survey showed that the EFL learners were at a positive perception of the flipped learning environment to study English vocabulary. Furthermore, finding on the TAM questionnaire portrayed that the EFL learners acknowledged WhatsApp as a satisfactory digital platform to assist the activities of English learning through flipped classrooms. This study offers insights for teachers and curriculum developers to begin acknowledging the promising role of digital learning of English beyond the classroom.

For novice EFL lecturers, the early years of teaching are quite challenging, as what they find ‘ideal’ in pre-service education is different from the realities of the classroom. The unfamiliar curriculum, limited supports from institutions, and socialization issues are general challenges for new lecturers. This study aimed to explore the voices of novice EFL Indonesian lecturers about the challenges faced and the strategies used in their early teaching experience. In this qualitative case study, the data were collected through interviews with four participants (novice EFL Indonesian lecturers). This study found that there were two major challenges that novice EFL lecturers faced in their early teaching experience, namely student-related challenges (students’ low proficiency in English, students’ negative learning attitude, students’ low critical thinking) and institution-related challenges (unavailability of suitable syllabus and high demand of the university to the teachers). In responding to student-related challenges, novice EFL lecturers employed some strategies such as grouping students into mixed-ability groups, adjusting the materials to the student’s level of proficiency, setting rules and consequences with students, and designing activities that promote critical thinking. In coping with institution-related challenges, these teachers collaborate with other English lecturers to develop a module and they consult with their coordinators to navigate the situation.

Teachers and students have widely used mind-mapping techniques to enhance teaching and learning experiences in education. This study intended to explore the benefits and challenges of applying mind-mapping techniques based on students' perceptions. The current study used a qualitative approach. In-depth interviews were employed to collect the data. The study involved four students in their junior year of an English Language Education Department of a private university who had frequently used mind mapping. All participants in the study viewed that mind mapping positively contributed to their English learning. The contributions included saving time, assisting them in learning and understanding materials, and recalling materials more easily. In addition, the participants also claimed that mind mapping enhanced their creativity in learning, helped them brainstorm ideas, improved language skills, increased their interests, and motivated students to learn. Apart from the benefits, all participants considered mind-mapping techniques challenging due to their complexity, especially when they were new to mind-mapping. In addition, they also believed that applying mind-mapping techniques consumed much time. The study concluded that mind mapping positively contributed to students' learning experiences, especially in organizing the information they gained when learning.

This case study aims to find out a novice teacher's knowledge of assessment for learning (AFL) and which AFL strategies are frequently used and considered helpful to enhance students' English proficiency. This study digs into the experience of an English teacher who has been teaching for two years in a secondary school in South Sumatra, Indonesia. The data of the study were mainly obtained from interviews and teaching artifacts. The collected data were then analyzed using thematic analysis. The study revealed that the teacher’s understanding of AFL is sufficient to implement AFL. On the other hand, support from the principal, fellow teachers, and students for the teacher to conduct the AFL was perceived as lacking. Despite the limitations, the teacher reported an attempt to conduct AFL using several strategies. Sharing learning intentions and success criteria with students, asking questions, and classroom discussion are among the strategies that are considered helpful. In contrast, teacher feedback and self and peer assessment are considered less effective. The findings imply a lack of teachers’ professional competence, particularly in conducting AFL. Suggestions are drawn to address the issues.

The practice of giving a speech or presentation in front of the class is a big challenge for students in English education majors. Students feel unable to speak directly or impromptu in English speech lectures. Thus, this study aimed to find out what were the problem factors that hinder students from practicing impromptu speech in classes. Samples in this study were the fifth-semester students in the academic year 2022/2023 majoring in English education at the University of Muhammadiyah Palembang. The study was qualitative and quantitative with a mixed-method approach. The research design utilized was a descriptive approach. The instruments used in this study were questionnaires and interviews. Twenty samples of students responded to the questionnaires and 12 of them were selected for further interview. Results of the interview and questionnaire showed most students did not have the confidence to give an impromptu English speech in the public because of the anxiety factor. Students were shocked and unable to think properly when presenting the speech without preparation. Therefore, students were hard to develop words into sentences, even the prepared sentences were lost as a result of that anxiety.
