Published: December 2024

At present, cancer is a global problem, among all the types that exist, one of those that was taken into account for this research is thyroid cancer, especially associated with the predisposing genes of RET rearrangement and BRAF gene mutation, which incite the rapid exit of papillary thyroid carcinoma, from MAPK signaling pathways and conformational change by mutation in BRAF at position (V600E) and (V599E). The aim of the subsequent study is to provide recent information on the genes involved, as well as the potential impact of targeted therapies to inhibit these pathways, such as selective RET and BRAF inhibitors, providing a strategy for gene therapy and rather than the traditional approach of thyroidectomy. In addition to the way of its diagnosis by means of different genetic markers, oncogenic genes, genome sequence and generalized findings of the endocrine-genetic problem. This research also explores non-specific associations of the above-mentioned causes, generating a broader knowledge for future medical and genetic adaptation of the disease.

Authors: Widat Nawwalul , Asari Slamet , Rochmah Noviatul
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the correlation between self-esteem, vocabulary mastery, and speaking skills among eighth-grade students at MTs Nurul Islam Pongangan. Employing a quantitative correlational research design, data were collected from 83 students across four classes (A, B, C, and D) through questionnaires and tests. The self-esteem questionnaire combined items from the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Coopersmith's Scale, while vocabulary and speaking skills were assessed via structured tests. Using Spearman's correlation analysis, the study reveals a positive correlation between self-esteem and vocabulary mastery (rho = 0.319, p < 0.01) and between self-esteem and speaking skills (rho = 0.356, p < 0.01). A more robust correlation was found between vocabulary mastery and speaking skills (rho = 0.512, p < 0.01), highlighting vocabulary as a significant contributor to speaking proficiency. These results underscore the interconnected nature of self-esteem, vocabulary knowledge, and speaking ability, suggesting that interventions focusing on boosting self-esteem and enhancing vocabulary can foster improvements in students' speaking skills. The findings advocate for a comprehensive language teaching approach that addresses both linguistic and affective factors to support students’ communicative competence
EXAMINING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN INTRINSIC READING MOTIVATION ON READING SKILLS IMPROVEMENT
Authors: Adinugraha Danang Wasana , Arifani Yudhi , Assassi Tarek
Published: December 2024

This study examines the correlation between intrinsic reading motivation and the improvement of reading skills among college students. It investigates how intrinsic motivation—driven by factors such as curiosity, enjoyment, and the challenge of complex texts—affects students' reading abilities over time. The study also compares intrinsic motivation levels between male and female students and identifies key factors that contribute to reading improvement. Previous research on intrinsic motivation in reading has often lacked a detailed categorization of motivation levels (low, medium, high). The current research fills this gap using a quantitative approach, involving a sample of 47 students (9 males and 38 females) from the first and third semesters of an English program. The instruments used for data collection include a questionnaire adapted from Guthrie and Wang (2004) and a TOEFL-based reading test. The results indicate that intrinsic motivation significantly correlates with reading skill improvement, with a Pearson correlation of 0.644 (p > 0.05), suggesting a moderate to strong positive relationship. Gender differences in motivation were observed, with males scoring a mean of 8.56 (SD = 1.23) and females scoring a mean of 9.29 (SD = 2.19) on the intrinsic motivation scale. A t-test revealed a non-significant difference in motivation levels between genders (p = 0.341). The analysis also identified that factors like curiosity, challenge, and involvement play a crucial role in reading improvement, with involvement being the most influential factor (r = 0.937). These findings highlight the importance of intrinsic motivation in enhancing reading skills and suggest that educators should foster motivation by focusing on these key factors. Future research should incorporate extrinsic motivation and consider a larger, more diverse sample to provide further insights.
To teach the foundations of the Christian faith to all these foreigners and to strengthen them in the faith...: the case of the mass “forced” christening of the Nenets people of the Tobolsk North in the late 1860s
Authors:   Nizhnevartovsk State University, Tsys O.P. , Tsys V.V. ,   Nizhnevartovsk State University
Published: December 2024

the article examines a unique case of mass christening of the Nenets people for its time. It is noted
that since this case was the subject of a lengthy investigation by the spiritual and secular authorities, its study provides
an opportunity to look into the inner world of the persons involved in this case, as well as to evaluate the evolution of the
methods of converting pagans to Christianity by missionaries of the Tobolsk North.
Objective: based on a specific example, to identify the features of state and church policy regarding the Christianization
of the indigenous population of the Tobolsk North.
Research materials: documents of church and secular institutions, concentrated in the State Archives in the city of
Tobolsk and the Russian State Historical Archives.
Results and novelty of the research: the investigation into the mass christening of the Nenets, which lasted for about
two years, became a clear lesson for the missionaries, which limited their ability to do similar things in the future. The
described case demonstrates the relative autonomy of the Tobolsk spiritual consistory from the decisions of the diocesan
bishop, which has not been previously reported in Russian historiography.
The novelty of the study also lies in the emphasis on the fundamental changes in approaches to the Christianization of
the pagans of the Tobolsk North. The methods used in the early 18th century by Saint Philotheus (Leshchinsky) are now
condemned and considered completely unacceptable, which was a consequence of the liberalization of state and church
policies towards the indigenous population of the region. Only persuasion and long-term painstaking work on education
could attract new children to the bosom of Orthodoxy. This approach contributed in part to the conservation of individual
elements of paganism among the previously converted Ostyaks and Samoyeds

linguistic sets of those who speak Karelian and those who do not speak it, but live in this language environment, is carried out.
The prospects for the preservation of the Karelian language are considered by analyzing the current state of three elements of
language planning: status, corpus and educational. The factors contributing to the expansion of the spheres of functioning of
the Karelian language were studied from the point of view of Karelian speakers and from the point of view of residents of the
Republic who do not speak Karelian. The results of the study were the identification of positive and negative factors affecting
the prospects for the preservation of the Karelian language and the clarification of the linguistic sets of Karelian speakers

This article discusses the phenomenon of "War Takjil" (iftar hunting) during the holy month of Ramadan 1445 H which went viral on social media. The "War Takjil" or the war over iftar food is not only an economic competition between food traders who sell various snacks and refreshing drinks to break the fast but also the phenomenon of non-Muslim communities taking part in fighting for iftar food like Muslims. This paper aims to see the extent of the impact of the "War Takjil" phenomenon by non-Muslims in Ramadan 2024, both on religious harmony, especially Muslims and non-Muslims, as well as its socio-economic impact and impact on Muslims. In addition to the impact caused, there are several messages that emerge from the phenomenon, both positive and negative. This paper uses a qualitative research methodology with an ethnographic approach. The analysis was carried out by observing and documenting certain groups (social media users, especially big cities in Java). The data was collected through capturing conversations of netizens on social media. "War Takjil" is a phenomenon when non-Muslims performs solidarity and social concern for Muslims. This reflects the values of togetherness and empathy in society.

The development of Islam during the time of Prophet Muhammad, through various kinds of trials and challenges, faced to spread it. At the beginning of Prophet Muhammad SAW. got a revelation from Allah SWT. which called for humans to worship him, received great challenges from various circles of Quraysh. This happened because at that time the Quraysh had another offering of idols made by themselves. Because of such circumstances, the first da’wah performed in Mecca was conducted in secret, especially since the number of people who converted to Islam was very small. Quantity of people who embraced Islam more and more days, God also ruled the Prophet to do da’wah openly. Increasingly new believers brought by Prophet Muhammad SAW. Allah SWT. ordered the Prophet Muhammad along with other Muslims to emigrate to the city of Medina. This is where a new chapter of Islamic progress begins. Islamic propagation done by the Prophet either secretly or openly received various responses (responses). Although it can be said that Arab society in the city of Makkah there is a sincere acceptance of Islamic teachings, in general, the Arab community of Makkah city refused and did not want the presence of Islam and Muslims and Muslims in the city. After several years of individual accusation, the orders were taken for the Prophet to openly indict and the next step was to accuse the general. The Prophet began calling the whole society to Islam openly. After the accusation of the light, the Quraish leader began to try to obstruct the Apostle’s doom. The increasing number of the Prophet increasingly stronger the challenges of the Quraisy. According to Ahmad Shalabi, five factors encourage quraisy people to oppose the call of Islam: 1) They cannot distinguish between prophethood and power. 2) Prophet Muhammad called on the noble right with hambah sahaya. 3) The Quraysh cannot accept the teachings of the resurrection and the vengeance of the Hereafter. 4) Taklid to the ancestors is a deeply entrenched habit in the Arab nation. 5) Sculptors and sculptors view Islam as a barrier to sustenance. There are many ways that the leaders of quraisy prevented propaganda from the diplomatic way Muhammad accompanied by persuasion until the violence was launched to stop the propagation of the Prophet. But the Prophet Muhammad remained in the position to broadcast the religion of Islam.

Literary work is a profound expression of the soul of a writer to describe the existence of his identity. It is not uncommon for a person to express his creative ideas in literary verses as a symbol of the author to show that his condition is as stated in his work. Also included in the Serat Gatholoco, it is clear that the author is likely to experience one side of his life that is left out. By using imaginary characters he can show his identity. Serat Gatholoco deserves to be studied in scientific research, in this case, researchers use postcolonial studies with qualitative research types. While the primary data in this study are words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs contained in Serat Gatholoco by Damar Shashangka. The results of this study concluded that the Serat Case of New, Java Literature is loaded with a charge of rebellion due to the arbitrary actions of the superordinate group to the others (liyan) which he considers subordinate. Serat Gatholoco is a reflection of the disgust of those who continually see rigidity in religious life. So those various strategies are used to reverse the binary opposition so that their existence is maintained.

Authors: Deveci Hülya
Published: December 2024

Tokugawa Dönemi (1603-1868)’nden itibaren iki yüz elli yılı aşkın bir süre uygulanan yasaklar ve cezalardan dolayı, Hristiyanlık Japon toplumunda korku, öfke ve şüphe uyandırmıştır. Japonların tecrübe ettiği bu tarihi süreç, bilginlerin eserlerine yansımıştır. Bu eserler Hristiyanlık karşıtlığının teorik zeminini oluşturmuştur. Bu karşıtlık ülkenin Batı ile etkileşiminin arttığı Meiji Dönemi’nde de devam etmiş ve Japon bilginler Hristiyanlığın ülke için bir tehdit unsuru olduğuna dair görüşlerini içeren eserler kaleme almışlardır. Bunlardan birisi Tokugawa Dönemi’nin sonlarında yaşamış, Meiji Restorasyonu’na tanıklık etmiş Konfüçyüsçü bilgin Yasui Sokken (1799-1876)’in 1873’te yazdığı Benmō (弁妄)’dur. Bu eser, Meiji Dönemi’nin başlarında Hristiyanlığa verilen güçlü tepki olarak kayda geçmiştir. Eser, Batılılar tarafından dikkate alınmış, İngilizce’ye çevrilmiş ve argümanları tartışılmıştır.
Yasui Sokken, Obi Hanı’na bağlı Konfüçyüsçü bir bilgin ve öğretmendir. Çince çevirisinden okuduğu Kitab-ı Mukaddesi, Benmō eseriyle eleştirmiştir. Bu makalede Sokken’in Benmō eseri örnekleminden Meiji Dönemi’nin ilk yıllarında Japonlar açısından Hristiyanlığın hangi yönlerinin anlaşılmaz, çelişkili olduğu ve ülkenin güvenliğini ve birliğini hangi yönlerden tehdit ettiği konusu incelenmiştir.
