Reversible thinking is a type of mental activity that has an important role in a person's success in solving problems. Problem solving is the heart of learning mathematics. Reversible thinking must be developed so that students have good problem solving skills. The purpose of this research is to describe the back-and-forth thinking of junior high school students in solving statistical problems. This type of research is descriptive qualitative with instrument tests. The research subjects were class VII students of SMPN 1 Gudo Jombang. Data collection by giving a test in one class VII SMPN 1 Gudo as many as 33 students. Next, one student who has the highest score is selected to be analyzed more deeply regarding his reversible thinking. The results of the study were that 78.9% of students were able to complete the first question, which was a question where the answer could be directly determined (data was known, the average was asked), but only 45.5% and 30.3% of students were able to complete the next two questions respectively. , which in solving it requires reversible thinking. The next two problems are problems that are the opposite of the first problem. Based on the test results, one student was selected with the highest test score, namely AAN. AAN is able to solve all problems correctly, both from the aspect of the settlement procedure and the final result. AAN has involved aspects of reversible thinking well in solving statistical problems. Among these aspects are forward, backward, and reverse aspects.

Farmer welfare is a condition of a farmer in a prosperous, healthy and peaceful condition without social jealousy in the community. However, this is difficult to materialize for farmers because of a number of factors, namely the ineffective and inefficient fertilizer subsidy policy with farm needs and the different characteristics of farmers in conducting farming.The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of welfare of tobacco farmers in Jombang Regency measured by the large farmer exchange rate (NTP) with several variables including the fertilizer subsidy policy variable, and the farmer characteristics variable.From statistical testing using ordinal logistic regression. The research data was obtained with 123 questionnaires distributed in Sawahan Hamlet Sumbergondang Village, Kabuh District, Jombang Regency.From the partial test, it was explained that the variables which were made into research did not significantly influence the farmer exchange rate (NTP). The results of the coefficient of determination show the results of the coefficient of determination Nagelkerke of 0.900 or 90.0%. It means that the independent variable (fertilizer subsidy policy, and the characteristics of farmers) affects the farmer exchange rate (NTP) of 90.0% while 10.0% is influenced by other factors not included in this research variable.

SMP Negeri 10 Tanjungpinang has varied mathematical literacy because learning at school still sees students' abilities due to the impact of Covid-19. Students are facilitated with questions in the form of AKM but students tend to understand the questions less because of the long narrative. This study describes students' mathematical literacy in solving Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) model questions on geometry content. The approach used in this is qualitative with descriptive method. The research subjects were 3 students consisting of high, medium, and low categories. Data collection techniques in the form of tests and interviews. Data analysis techniques used data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Researchers ensured the validity of the data, using triangulation techniques by equalizing the results of tests and interviews. The result of this study is the classification of students' mathematical literacy based on categories. Students in the high category have good literacy where they are able to fulfill all three indicators, namely formulating problems, applying concepts, and interpreting solution results. While students in the medium category are able to fulfill both indicators, namely formulating problems and applying concepts and have not fulfilled the indicator of interpreting the results of the solution. Low category students were only able to fulfill the indicator of formulating problems and did not fulfill the indicators of applying concepts and interpreting the results of the solution.

African Art and The Colonial Encounter: Commodification and Restitution of Sacred Objects in Linus Asong’s the Crown of Thorns
Authors: MBU DORA NYUYKIGHAN
Published: August 2023

African art though dynamic has changed in form, function, and meaning over time. However, the concept of Indigenous African art has remained static. This paper aims at examining the complex relationship between African art and colonial encounter while interrogating the commodification and restitution of African artifacts which has become a topical issue. This is because pre-colonial sacred objects have an aura of untainted timeless past reflecting the way of life of the African people. The colonial encounter with Africa witnessed a rush for African traditional religious artifacts and antiquities which left indelible marks of hostilities and cultural clashes among the African people. Many African artifacts looted from their countries of origin during colonialism and are now housed in museums and private collections around the world. While most studies on Linus Asong’s the Crown of Thorns focus on feminist analysis, the paper is read from the perspective of New Historicists’ exegesis that interrogates the commodification and restitution of African sacred objects stolen from Africa during colonialism. The findings show that, although the issue of the commodification and restitution of African artifacts is a complex and controversial one, there is a growing recognition of the importance of acknowledging and rectifying the historical injustices associated with their commodification.
Impediments to cultural teaching in EFL programmes at a Saudi University
Authors: Mekheimer Mohamed Amin A. , Aldosari Hamad
Published: August 2023

Literature in a given language is the ultimate culmination of cultural expression. However, in Saudi universities, the literature of the English language, mainly British and American, is meagrely taught due to dogmatic religious considerations. This study reviews relevant research on culture and literature teaching in EFL, and further delves into an exploration of the perceptions and attitudes of faculty and students with regard to why literature should or should not be taught in the Saudi EFL context. Employing descriptive research techniques, i.e., questionnaires and interviews, this study aims at investigating the perceptions of faculty and students involved in the EFL programme provisioned in the English Department, College of Languages and Translation, King Khalid University (KKU), and their attitudes towards literature teaching and exposure to the culture of a language. Implications for pedagogy and curriculum development will form part of the conclusions.
Looking at You Looking at Me: An Autoethnographic Account of a Tattooed Female and (Re)appropriation of the Tourist Gaze
Authors: Modesti Sonja
Published: August 2023

As noted through Ury’s (2002) work, the tourist gaze serves as a literal and metaphorical construct describing the process involved in viewing the interculturally different Other. However, traditional understandings of the tourist gaze do not account for the reciprocity involved in the gazing process. Through the use of autoethnography enhanced with visual ethnographic artifacts, this essay dissects the presumed linear nature of the gaze, asserting that certain subjects may become objects of a (re)appropriated gaze in travel encounters. As evidenced through descriptions of travel in Mexican and Central American cultures, the tattooed female tourist serves as such a subject. Illustrating the (re)appropriated and (re)allocated tourist gaze, she is postured as an exotic Other, becoming one vehicle through which a Central American native or local may assess both U.S. American and/or tattoo culture as a whole.
Television Exposure, Model Minority Portrayals, and Asian-American Stereotypes: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Ramasubramanian Srividya
Published: August 2023

This exploratory study examines how television exposure influences White-American viewers’ attitudes toward Asian-Americans. Prior research reveals that the dominant image of Asian-Americans in contemporary television is that of the "model minority." Drawing on social identity, intergroup communication, and attributional theories, this study explores the negative outcomes of the seemingly positive Asian-American model minority stereotype. Path analyses conducted with preliminary empirical data from a survey of White-American college students (N = 323) revealed that viewers who internalized television stereotypes reported more stereotypical perceptions of Asian-Americans, greater internal attributions for Asian failures, and more symbolic racist beliefs about Asian-Americans. Directions for future research and implications for media scholars, practitioners, and policymakers are discussed.
Health Service Provision in a Huichol Community in Mexico: an issue of Intercultural Communication
Authors: García Saul Santos , Amaro Karina Ivett Verdín
Published: August 2023

In Mexico, there is a high incidence of health-related problems among indigenous ethnic groups that are otherwise prevented and have a low impact in non-indigenous rural communities. The Mexican Ministry of Health acknowledges that this problem may be in part due to the fact that the vision of the indigenous patient regarding health issues has been omitted from official programmes. In this paper we show that although understanding cultural aspects is crucial in the development of a culturally-sensitive view of health care service provision, it is also of paramount importance to observe aspects concerning intercultural communication issues, such as differences in expectations regarding interaction patterns. The case of the Huichols, an indigenous ethnic group in Mexico, is presented.
A Comparative Study of Native and Non-native Body Language: The Case of Americans’ Kinesics vs. Persian English Speakers
Authors: Sharifabad Masoud Raee , Vali Sara
Published: August 2023

Body language is considered as one of the most fundamental components of communication. Many factors including culture, gender, age, and psyche can affect the use of body language among different people. However, related literature shows that culture and gender are more effective in causing variability of kinesics. This study is an attempt to examine the effect of these two factors on the nonverbal behavior of Persian EFL learners. In other words, the research investigates the differences between Persian students and native speakers of English in using body language. A total of 80 (40 males/40 females) Persian students of English (from Payame Noor University of Tehran) participated in this study. The subjects were observed against a checklist by two trained raters on different body language instances. Three Chi-square analyses were employed to analyze the results. The findings of the study revealed that there was no significant difference between Persian EFL students and American native speakers of English in terms of using kinesics. Moreover, it was found that there was no significant difference between Persian male and female students of English in using body language. However, it was observed that Persian EFL learners use more facial expressions than gestures in their communications.

Authors: Waheed Moniza , Schuck Andreas , DeVreese Claes , Neijens Peter
Published: August 2023

With globalization, the understanding of different values and cultures has become vital. This study investigates differences and similarities in the use of values of political speeches from developed and developing countries. A content analysis was conducted on 48 political speeches of six leaders. Applying the list of Basic Human Values, we found that "benevolence," "universalism," "stimulation," "self-direction," and "achievement" were most present in all speeches. However, "universalism" and "benevolence" were most present in speeches from developed countries while "stimulation" and "self-direction" in speeches from developing countries. Speeches also differed in terms of tones attached to words expressing the values. This study finds that there are more differences than similarities in the use of values in speeches from developed and developing countries.
The challenge of bilingualism in a multilingual society: The Bolivian Case
Authors: Danbolt Live Drange
Published: August 2023

Bolivia is a multilingual society recognising as many as 36 different ethnic groups with more or less different languages. The attitude towards bilingualism is based on experiences acquired over centuries through a history characterized by a minority ruling the majority. As in the other Latin American countries the ruling elite of Spanish descent has systematically neglected the culture and languages of the indigenous peoples. The Educational Reform of 1994 represented a significant shift in language and education policy, promoting bilingual primary education in areas dominated by indigenous people and replacing French with an indigenous language in secondary school. The Constitution of 2009 establishes Bolivia as a multilingual state and requires that all public employees talk at least two of the country’s official languages. It was followed by a new Education Act that promotes the process of decolonization of the education and makes it more multicultural aiming to strengthen the country’s different cultures and languages. The article examines the discussion on and attitudes towards bilingualism and evaluates the impact of the official policy aiming at changing the situation for bilinguals.
Towards a Scientific Model of Culture Shock and Intercultural Communication
Authors: Dutton Edward
Published: August 2023

This article seeks to make an original contribution to the study of intercultural communication by examining the ‘culture shock’ model by means of scientific theories of behaviour. It will argue that although culture chock is built on both cultural determinist and cultural relativist foundations, it is broadly empirically accurate. However, it needs to be rendered consilient. Applying Genetic Similarity Theory to it renders it consilient and, indeed, it parsimoniously explains an important stage of culture shock. Culture shock is also found to be congruous with scientific behaviourist research. In engaging with culture shock as it does, the article aims to render intercultural communication more directly germane to those beyond the discipline.
It’s like a Mexican Bingo
Authors: Hansen Alan Dale , Quintanilla Kelly
Published: August 2023

Much of Intercultural Communication (ICC) scholarship is interested in the "intercultural encounter": interaction between people who are from different cultures.  Taking culture to be emergent in social interaction, in this paper we examine group interviews about health and diabetes which were conducted in the Southwestern U.S. with Hispanic adults. Using discourse analytic methods, we show how culture emerges in these group interviews, as participants treat objects (practices, etc.) as cultural in the performance of interactional tasks such as explaining, account-making, and managing face-threat. Analysis reveals that close analysis of the emergence of culture in interaction may help ICC scholars enter interdisciplinary discussion of effective health care delivery in an increasing culturally-diverse and culturally-complex worldculture
A song of identity: Yoik as example of the importance of symbolic cultural expression in intercultural communication/health care
Authors: Hanssen Ingrid
Published: August 2023

Yoik is the old Sami form of music/singing produced according to old conventions and used in various communication contexts. A yoik referring to a particular person, a so-called person-yoik, constitutes a musical expression of that person and may be a more powerful symbol of identity and connectedness than a person’s name and may awaken memories otherwise forgotten in patients with dementia. This paper is based on a qualitative interview study on good dementia care among the Sami, the indigenous people of the northernmost part of Europe. The primary focus is on aspects of yoik related to identity and mental health in general and patients with dementia in particular. Yoik here serves as an example of the significance of culture-specific symbols and ways of expression and the importance of being open to symbols and representations foreign to us for us to become successful intercultural communicators.
Science Education and Culture: Inquiry-Based Learning
Authors: Magee Dashia , Meier A.J.
Published: August 2023

At a time when inquiry-based science education is finding increased acceptance, US classrooms are exhibiting a significant increase in diversity. This necessitates attention to the compatibility between the culture of inquiry teaching and the broad range of cultures that form students’ backgrounds. Although some research has considered students’ cultural backgrounds and the roles these might play in the effectiveness of an inquiry approach, none has focused on the specific characteristics of an inquiry approach that might constitute cultural "biases" for a broad range of students with a concomitant broad range of cultural values and beliefs. This article seeks to identify characteristics of an inquiry approach, compare these to the potential cultures students may bring with them to the classroom, using cultural orientations as a heuristic, and suggest construals of inquiry that could better address the needs of a greater number of learners.

Authors: Agis Winardi  , Titin Nurhayatin  , Lili Sadeli
Published: August 2023

This study is motivated by the low ability of students in analyzing the elements of a short story builder focusing on the plot element of the short story. This is due to the lack of variety of educators in choosing teaching methods and model. The selection of varied teaching methods and model can increase motivation and interest in learning. The purpose of this study was to assess the author's ability to plan, implement, and assess learning using the discovery learning model; assess the ability of students using the discovery learning model; assess the effectiveness of the discovery learning model in learning to analyze the plot elements of short story text; and assess the difference in the ability of the experimental class using the discovery learning model with the control class that applied the discussion method. The research approach used is a pseudo-experimental quantitative approach. The research design was pretest-posttest control group design. The data obtained, namely the pretest and posttest results of the experimental and control classes at Pasundan 1 High School Class XI. The results of this study prove that:1) the author is able to plan, implement, and assess learning by obtaining an average of 4 on planning and 3.84 on implementation; 2) the ability of students increases on the pretest average of 48 to 98.50 on the posttest; 3) discovery learning is effectively used in learning to analyze the plot of short story texts, as evidenced by the results of the Mann-Whitney test showing asymp. sig. 0.002; and 4) there are differences in the ability of students in the experimental class and control class, as evidenced by the results of the Wilcoxon test showing asymp. sig. in the experimental and control classes is 0.003. Thus, the discovery learning model is effectively used in learning to analyze the plot elements of short story text.
Did the Musk takeover boost contentious actors on Twitter?
Authors: Barrie Christopher
Published: August 2023

After his acquisition of Twitter, Elon Musk pledged to overhaul verification and moderation policies. These events sparked fears of a rise in influence of contentious actors—notably from the political right. I investigated whether these actors did receive increased engagement over this period by gathering tweet data for accounts that purchased blue-tick verification before and after the Musk takeover. Following the takeover, there was a large increase in post engagement for all users, but tweet engagement for accounts active in far-right networks outstripped any increased engagement for general user accounts. There is no obvious evidence that blue-tick verification conferred an additional engagement boost.
Text Linguistics and Translation: An Empirical Perspective on English-Chinese Translation in the United Nations
Authors: HUA ZHONGCHAO
Published: August 2023

Abstract Document translation in the context of the Unite Nations, which involves a colossal system of documentation with a huge variety of subject-matters, should be considered as a specialised translating activity. A relevant theoretical framework is needed to explore and
contribute to the actual practices on the ground, much remaining to be done in this respect, though. The present study attempts to explore the possibility of precise understanding of source text and its accurate rendering into target language, by focusing on some aspects of the text linguistics
as the theoretical reference points, and based on the empirical evidences in the English to Chinese translation of the UN documents. It tries to explore how much the role of text or discourse analysis can play in the study, and hopefully in the contributions to the quality improvement, of
such a specialised activity as UN document translation.
Re-assessing Interpreter Training: Emphasis on Short-term Memory Skill Development
Authors: NEWTON IAN , NEWTON ZOÉ
Published: August 2023

Abstract Despite awareness of the value of short-term memory for the development of interpreter trainees’ skills, little research has been devoted to it and, in practice, the relevant share of an interpretation training programme is often limited, because of the rush
to embark on acquiring note-taking and other techniques. This paper addresses a possible research project to look more closely at short-term memory development and the possible impact that such development could have on curriculum planning.

A Corpus-based Study of Corporate Image in the Translation of Corporate Social Responsibility Reports of Chinese Pharmaceutical Companies: A Case Study of Fosun Pharma Group
Authors: LI RUYANG , ZHUANG CHIYUAN
Published: August 2023

Abstract The sudden outbreak of Covid-19 turned out to be an opportunity for Chinese pharmaceutical companies to go overseas. A sound corporate image, as presented by a corporate social responsibility (CSR) report, is a must. Therefore, companies must pay attention to the
quality of translations of CSR reports. This study analyses the 2017–2020 CSR reports of Fosun Pharma Group, a top Chinese pharmaceutical company, from the text perspective and that of social practice, based on a self-built corpus. The 2017–2020 CSR reports of Johnson & Johnson
are used as parallel texts. The text analysis examines the high-frequency nouns and verbs, first-person pronouns and modal verbs, and finds that Fosun Pharma enjoys the image of a company that focuses on progress, is positive, pragmatic, attaches importance to corporate management, and is
rigorous and objective. Viewed from the perspective of social practices, the difference in corporate image between the two companies is influenced by power distance, as they are at different stages of development, and given the limitations associated with the use of English as a second language.
The research results have implications for the development of English translations of CSR reports of pharmaceutical companies in China and the dissemination of an overseas corporate image.

ensino-aprendizado de adultos fundamentado em três termos que são conhecidos isoladamente. No entanto, com mais profundidade, são colocados num formato diferente, juntos e integrados no processo ensino-aprendizado da educação de adultos para qualquer área do conhecimento e, mais desafiante ainda, colocado sob o contexto de alfabetizar adultos em tempo reduzido. Sob tais condições, o novo método com o título de IMAI, submete qualquer adulto a um aprendizado rápido e mais eficaz, principalmente no contexto de fazer um adulto analfabeto conseguir ler em menos de trinta dias. Portanto, pelo que se apresenta neste artigo é um desafio à Ciência da Educação não apenas para a educação de adultos em qualquer área do conhecimento, mas, para alfabetizar adultos em tempo mínimo e redução de custos governamentais.
DA DOR À INSÓLITA LOUCURA: "A Morte Inesperada" de Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa
Authors: Santos-Ribeiro André
Published: August 2023

Este artigo é uma contribuição para a desconstrução de uma história que, durante séculos, foi escrita unilateralmente na abissal norte do Atlântico. Pela análise da diegese “A Morte Inesperada”, integrada na obra “Orgia dos Loucos”, de Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa, pretende-se adentrar na realidade de um jovem Moçambique pós-colonial envolto numa contextura histórica, social e cultural bem determinada. Através do vigoroso retrato das décadas de 80 e 90 que a diegese faculta, examinar-se-á a dor que terá levado o povo moçambicano à loucura e far-se-á um diagnóstico da causa da sua transtornada condição psíquica. A loucura, que aqui se eleva ao expoente máximo do insólito, denuncia a necessidade em recuperar o inconsciente coletivo esquecido de um povo que agora convive com uma modernidade mal gerida trazida pelos portugueses. Por último, dar-se-á breve atenção à presença sistemática da negritude.
POESIA E ARTES VISUAIS: O vínculo poético-imagético e pictórico em Mário de Sá-Carneiro
Authors: Lopes Fabiana , Villas-Boas Inês , Rodrigues João Bartolomeu
Published: August 2023

O presente artigo prende-se com o tema da poesia e das artes visuais, cujas se interligam e conectam mais profundamente daquilo que possam aparentar. Desde tempos antigos, a poesia e a arte visual (especialmente no que concerne à imagem e à pintura) são companheiras, muitas vezes indivisíveis. Ora, ao longo dos séculos, surgem profusos autores que visam tocar ambas as artes. Mário de Sá-Carneiro é um deles. Assim sendo, o subsequente documento embarcará no largo oceano poético, imagético e pictórico que se contempla na poética desta figura que marcou tanto a poesia como o seu caráter gráfico e pictórico, quebrando a fronteira que aparentemente separa ambas as artes. Este documento será incitado por uma questão de partida, nomeadamente “De que modo os versos de Mário de Sá-Carneiro ilustram a conexão entre poesia, pintura e imagem?”. Destarte, será possível averiguar, nas subsequentes palavras, esta ligação. Poder-se-á compreender o quão a poesia e a pintura ou a imagem têm a capacidade de se conectar, artes que desde os primórdios acompanham o ser humano. Para tal efeito, serão abordados autores como Fernando Cabral Martins, especialista em estudos de literatura moderna e grande apreciador e estudioso de Sá-Carneiro.

Kehidupan berkeluarga atau pernikahan hanya akan terjadi melalui perkawinan yang sah, baik menurut agama maupun ketentuan perundang-undangan yang berlaku. Perkawinan adalah ikatan lahir batin antara seorang pria dan seorang wanita sebagai suami-istri dengan tujuan membentuk keluarga (rumah tangga yang bahagia) dan kekal berdasarkan Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa.  Ikatan batin itu diharapkan akan menjadi pondasi bagi keutuhan perkawinan agar bisa berlangsung selamanya, karena Undang-Undang Perkawinan  menganut  asas  monogami  yang  hanya  memperbolehkan menikah seorang istri dengan seorang suami.

Di dalam ajaran Islam, asas poligami yang dilakukan oleh suami juga diperbolehkan apabila istri tidak dapat menjalankan kewajibannya sebagai istri,  cacat badan atau  penyakit yang tidakdapat disembuhkan dan  tidak dapat melahirkan keturunan. Namun persyaratannya diperketat atas persetujuan dari Pengadilan Agama.

Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif empiris. Pengumpulan data melalui cara observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis dilakukan dengan reduksi data, verifikasi data dan analisis data. Sedangkan pengecekan keabsahan data dilakukan dengan metode triangulasi.  Oleh karenanya relevansi atau hubungan hukum dan etika dalam perkawinan poligami dapat dipertimbangkan  dengan baik agar realitas fiqh dapat diwujudkan sesuai syari’at agama.
