Authors: Akmaliyah Akmaliyah , Ridho Mohammad Rosyid
Published: August 2020

AbstractServing as the language of al-Qur'an and everyday Islamic rituals both individually and in public congregation, Arabic is a necessary tool for all Muslims to complete their religious duties; therefore, Arabic subject is offered elsewhere starting from PAUD education to university level in our Muslim majority country. This study is going to discuss a specific aspect regarding the strategy of teaching Arabic in higher education. This specific aspect has already been our concern quite a while; it related to the ‘upgrade’ or the transformation of IAIN institution into UIN in which there are faculties with non-religious subjects and their students whose background are of non-or-minimum earlier religious education. In general, they were educated in public high school and had not enough study in Arabic; they were succinctly not familiar with its linguistic peculiarities. Qualitative in nature and with naturalistic approach, this study unveils the urgency of Arabic language proficiency for these students of non-religious faculties. It reveals as well the need for a shift in teaching strategies at UIN for students in non-religious faculties, in a systematic and proper way so that they may develop interest towards the study of Arabic language

SERGEY PROKOFIEVâ€™s PETER AND THE WOLF THROUGH AN INTERMEDIAL LENS
Authors: De Kock Elma
Published: August 2020

Peter and the wolf is an intermedial work based on a folk tale originally written and composed by the Russian composer Sergey Prokofiev in 1936 (Hanson and Hanson 1964). Since few recent adaptations of the work in Afrikaans exist, a combined intermedial project was undertaken to recreate the work using practice-based research. The stages of this research method have brought forth a poetic text, the realisation of the original music, illustrations, and a voice artist to read the created text. To accomplish the final artistic product, it was important to obtain a theoretical foundation of practice-based research, intermediality, adaptation and the different media involved in the created word. The intermedial effects between the different media in the project provided the results of the study, stemming not only from the readersâ€™ simultaneous experiences of the media as they read or listen to the work but, as it also became clear, from the mutually complementary effects between the different media of which their combination provided a richer final product.
â€˜NAE KING! NAE QUIN! NAE LAIRD! NAE MASTER!â€™: CHILDHOOD AGENCY IN TERRY PRATCHETTâ€™s THE WEE FREE MEN
Authors: Donaldson Eileen
Published: August 2020

In this article, a psychodynamic perspective informs the discussion of the ambivalence associated with individuation and growing up which manifests during middle childhood (from approximately 6 to 11 years of age). The author contends that Terry Pratchett explores this ambivalence in his young adult novel, The wee free men (2003), in which his young, female protagonist, Tiffany Aching, must resolve the fears and anxieties that stem from her ambivalence in order to claim agency and complete the process of individuation from her childhood home. The author argues that Tiffanyâ€™s ambivalence is most clearly reflected in her relationships with the two primary adult females in the novel, Granny Aching and the Fairy Queen, and suggests that the resolution of her ambivalence models resilience strategies for Pratchettâ€™s young readers who may be navigating this same problem in their own lives.Â

Realizada por meio de uma Revisão Integrativa, cujas bases de referências bibliográficas foram: Lilacs, Scielo e BDENF. A busca foi guiada por DeCS, com delineamento temporal de 2010 até 2015. Os resultados são apresentados em tabelas e quadros seguidos de informações pertinentes ao assunto. Houve um achado total de 23 estudos, dos quais 03 apresentaram-se repetidos em mais de um local, sendo alocados à base de dados que agrupava mais artigos. Assim, das 20 publicações elencadas, 09 abordavam o tema proposto e foram selecionadas para compor este estudo. A pesquisa aponta que o ensino na graduação do Curso de Enfermagem não permite um olhar amplo sobre a temática doação de órgãos e tecidos para transplante.  Parte-se do princípio de que os enfermeiros, para prestar uma assistência otimizada ao paciente em ME, às famílias do doador e aos trâmites que permeiam a doação de órgãos, necessitam, sobretudo, de uma abordagem holística na graduação.

Published: August 2020

The present study has been undertaken to search the novel co drugs for fighting against the COVID-19 disease through an in- silico approach. We have designed eight co drugs by merging two drugs namely hydroxychloroquine, used in the treatment of COVID-19 and curcumin an immuno modulator. The two drugs were linked through a bio-cleavable hydrolyzable linker by three-step process. The designed co drugs were subjected for molecular docking studies to know their therapeutic efficacy against the COVID-19 main protease (Mpro) and Interleukin-1β. The designed co drugs have a promising binding affinity towards Mpro in the narrow range of binding energies between -28.2498 to -35.8648 kcal/mol when compared to the standard Remdesivir which has -21.8600 kcal/mol. Similarly the binding energies of designed co drugs against Interleukin -1β range between -25.8032 to -34.6973 kcal/mol when compared to the standard curcumin which has -17.3274 kcal/mol. Our findings demonstrated that the designed co drugs may be useful for the treatment of viral respiratory infection due to their additive therapeutic actions on the viral protein and modulating the immune response synergistically.

An Investigation of Digital Thinking Skills in EFL Digital Instruction
Authors: Meirovitz Tamar , S Aran Shai
Published: August 2020

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of the current study is to introduce a digital thinking skills (DTS) theoretical model (DTSM) that could support and enhance digital instruction best practices in schools.

Methodology: We have taken a mixed-methods approach. Our respondents represent diverse cultural, linguistic, pedagogical, and social heritages.

Contribution: The study provides a theoretical model developed by Eshet-Alkalai and Aviram that could impact subsequent digital teaching in schools. The highly accessible model may help teachers understand the cognitive learning outcomes that derive from frequently used digital tools.

Findings: We found that teachers do not have a pedagogical concept of digital thinking skills, though many believe such skills might have a positive effect on their learners’ achievements. School culture plays a key role in effective DI delivery. Teachers want better in-service IT instruction.

Recommendations for Practitioners: When distance learning has become the order of the day, we recommend practitioners connect pedagogical methodology and disciplinary content with new technology to boost learning outcomes. Recent world events have shown that in many cases practitioners have not been exposed to multiple digital options, especially those that not only present and review learning content but also boost the creation and dissemination of new knowledge.

Recommendation for Researchers: We recommend researchers review different types of available resources and their effective implementation in the school curricula in order to foster creativity and more profound thinking among teachers and learners.

Impact on Society: Better informed and greatly improved DI in schools is clearly crucial for twenty-first-century systems. As we go to press, in the middle of the coronavirus world-wide lockdown, these words resonate more than ever before. Our research both highlights this obvious need and provides a heuristic bridge between basic research and classrooms.

Future Research: Future studies should focus on a pedagogical digital model that can enhance DI best practices in schools.
The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Unemployment: Panel Data Approach
Authors: Alalawneh Mustafa Mohammad , Nessa Azizun
Published: August 2020

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment on unemployment in six countries in the Middle East and North Africa, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, and Turkey, as this region is considered one of the most regions in the world with a high rate of unemployment. The study employed panel data for the period from 1990 to 2018, where three economic models were used to examine the impact of FDI on unemployment, male unemployment, and female unemployment, in the long run, using the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) and Random Effect Model (REM), in addition to finding the causal relationship in the short term using Panel VAR (Granger causality tests). The results showed that FDI reduces the unemployment rate, the male unemployment rate, and the female unemployment rate in the long run. The results of the study also revealed that there is no causal relationship in the short term between FDI and unemployment in its various forms, while there is a bidirectional causal relationship between FDI and exports according to the three economic models. This paper is the first of its kind in terms of examining the effect of FDI on unemployment in the six countries as a grouped and a sample of the MENA region.
An Analysis of the Transformation of Mega-Pharma’s Business Model toward the Emerging Market
Authors: Mitsumori Yaeko
Published: August 2020

The Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights（TRIPS) requires all member countries of the World Trade Organization (WTO) to introduce a TRIPS-compatible patent law into their countries. Due to the enforcement of TRIPS in 1995, India in 2005 revised its patent law and enacted the Patents (Amendment) Act, 2005. The 2005 ACT included product patent in pharmaceutical field. Due to the new patent law with product patent protection, large foreign capital pharmaceutical companies one after another re-entered the Indian market and started engaging in both R&D and production targeting the Indian market. However recent data shows the number of patent applications has been declining over the past several years and the number of patented drugs launched in India did not increase so rapidly. This study analyzes transitions of business models of foreign pharmaceutical companies in India based on the patent application data, and the trend of patented drugs in the market. A data analysis and a series of interviews with stakeholders were conducted. As a result of both a quantitative and a qualitative analysis, it was found that foreign pharmaceutical companies changed their strategies in the Indian pharmaceutical market. Since India was required to introduce product patents in the pharmaceutical area, there have been many arguments that once India introduces a product patent, the Indian pharmaceutical industry may decline due to the rapid introduction of foreign pharmaceutical products in the country; many academic papers were published in this context during that time. However, since 2005, when product patents were actually introduced in India, few academic papers were published. This study is unique as it discusses the effects of the introduction of product patents on the Indian pharmaceutical market.
