The Role of Displaced Higher Education Institutions in Recovery Processes of War and Post-war Period: The Case of Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University
Authors: Semenenko Inna , Bilous Yana
Published: February 2024

The recovery of Ukraine will require the involvement of as many actors and resources as possible. Higher education institutions will play a significant role in the recovery of the country and its regions and communities. Educational institutions can participate in the recovery process both by training the required personnel and by directly participating in the development of relevant policies, programmes and strategic documents, analysing the needs and capabilities of local communities, providing advice and expert assistance in their areas of expertise, etc. There are already scientific publications and case studies that demonstrate the role of higher education institutions in recovery processes. Moreover, special attention is paid to displaced higher education institutions as those with specific experience and knowledge.

The purpose of the article is to determine the role of displaced higher education institutions in the recovery and restoration of the country and its regions using the example of the twice displaced Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University. For this purpose, the article uses such methods as observation, analysis and synthesis. In addition, a survey was conducted among the staff and students of Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University regarding the role of the displaced higher education institution in the recovery process, the results of which are summarised in the article.

Ukraine has experience in relocating higher education institutions, some of which were relocated twice in 2014 and 2022. The article examines the case of the Volodymyr Dahl EUNU and reveals the main activities and projects implemented by the university after the first and second relocations aimed at recovery and development of territorial communities. In particular, the institutionalised practices of participation of Volodymyr Dahl EUNU in the recovery processes are presented. The survey of academic staff and students of the university showed the distribution of opinions on the role of higher education institutions in the recovery of the community, the region and the country as a whole, and also identified the specific role of displaced HEIs in such processes. The study revealed the willingness and existence of active practices of participation of the academic staff and students in the recovery of socio-economic systems of various levels, as well as their readiness and conditions for joining such activities.

The results of the survey conducted among the academic staff and students of the Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University show that the respondents are aware of the role of educational institutions in the recovery and restoration of communities, regions and the country as a whole, as well as their readiness to return to the liberated territories to restore them together with the university.
Human Resources in the Structure of the Reintegrative Educational Environment of the University
Authors: Zakharina Tetiana
Published: February 2024

The article examines the peculiarities of implementation of integration activities with military personnel and members of their families in the conditions of educational resources of the university. The results of a practical study implemented in the form of a survey of pedagogical workers, who are the personnel resource of the project “Retraining and social adaptation of military personnel, veterans and members of their families in Ukraine. Integration of the model of the project “Norway — Ukraine” into the state system” based on Chernihiv Polytechnic National University, are presented and the project participants themselves. In the presented results of the study, attention is focused on the general human and professional competencies of teachers involved in reintegration activities with a certain social category. The purpose of the article is to create a competency profile of educational workers as the main reintegration resource in working with former military personnel and veterans within the framework of reintegration work in the educational environment of the university. The main tasks of the research were aimed at actualizing the problem of selection of specialists involved in the process of reintegration of military personnel, veterans and their family members in the conditions of an educational environment. The conclusions confirm that work on the reintegration of servicemen in the direction of their professional retraining requires teachers to have key professional and general human competencies, the significance of these competencies is not the same and is determined by the characteristics of the social group in relation to which the reintegration program is implemented. The novelty of the research lies in the study of the possibilities of social reintegration of military personnel precisely in the plane of the educational environment of the university. The practical significance of the study lies in the creation of a competence characteristic of representatives of the university’s pedagogical community, as the main reintegration resource in working with military personnel
The Methodology of Rating Methodologies: The Problem of Constructing Correct University Ratings
Authors: Lugovyi Volodymyr , Slyusarenko Olena , Talanova Zhanneta
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the substantiation of the general (framework) methodology for creating correct methodologies of university ranking, which capable of correctly (truly, in accordance with reality) ranking universities, primarily top ones. The conceptual foundations of such a methodology are formulated. It is based on a mission-based approach to the definition of university and ranking excellence, which involves the determination of the criterion-indicator base of the ranking both by its mission and by the mission of the university, especially a globally leading institution. Essential definitions of relevant missions as key system-creating factors are given. A criterion for the formulation of the true mission is proposed. The principle of mission minimisation of the list of necessary and sufficient ranking criteria / indicators and the principle of their mission synergy for the unambiguous orientation of university development are substantiated. The general methodology prevents the de-specification of the ranking and university missions, the dissynergisation of ranking criteria and indicators, their divergence and fragmentation, and the disorienting action. This methodology covers methodologies both simple (mono) and complex (combined), as well as general (institutional) and sectoral (by academic subjects) rankings. The methodology built on these foundations will contribute to the adoption of rankings as objective and reliable evaluation tools, the effective use of the IREG Berlin principles for the creation of ranking methodologies, the acceleration of the formation of a university ranking culture and its legislative regulation in Ukraine, and the further development of science about universities. This is important for the development of a strategy for the formation of leading universities of the highest excellence (strategy-2), the implementation of the second dimension of the European higher education area in terms of achieving its competitiveness and attractiveness, the approaching victory of Ukraine in the war, the innovative recovery of the country, the establishment of Ukraine as a strong European integrated state.

The article is devoted to the development of a matrix of interaction of key stakeholders of social entrepreneurship development ("state-society-business-education") as determinants of reintegration of servicemen, veterans and their family members. A condition for the development of social enterprises is the synergistic interaction (participation) of key stakeholders: state-community-business-education, which creates opportunities for the formation of social capital. The article presents the generalized results of empirical research: a survey of market entities "The role of business as a catalyst for the development of social enterprises in the process of reintegration of military personnel, veterans and their family members"; a survey of participants in the educational process "Promoting the development of social entrepreneurship at the university"; a survey of members of civil society organizations "Promoting the development of social entrepreneurship in the community". The results of the surveys are used as a basis for determining the structures of involvement and developing a matrix of interaction of key stakeholders ("state-society-business-education") in the process of development of social enterprises as a tool for the reintegration of servicemen, veterans and their family members. The proposed matrix includes four components: under the public administration component – functions and duties of the state, such as the creation of financial instruments, provision of educational and psychological programs, as well as regulation of business processes; by the public management component – takes into account the development of local initiatives, the creation of a favourable social environment and the involvement of local resources to support social enterprises; by the economic component – determines the mechanisms of financial support, training programs and development of business skills; by the educational component – the role of higher education institutions in the formation of competencies in the field of social entrepreneurship. The developed matrix is a tool for the implementation of projects, programs and strategies of the development of social enterprises as determinants of the reintegration of servicemen, veterans and their family members.
When Trees Are Not an Option: Perennial Vines as a Complementary Strategy for Mitigating the Summer Warming of an Urban Microclimate
Authors: Millward Andrew , Blake Michelle
Published: February 2024

This study evaluates the potential of Boston Ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) to reduce building surface temperature in a mid-latitude North American city center where vine use for this purpose is uncommon. Vegetation can regulate city summer temperatures by providing shade and evaporative cooling. While planting trees has been a focus for many urban municipalities, trees require space (above and below ground), access to water, costly planting and maintenance, and may only be desirable to some city residents. To explore viable vegetation alternatives with fewer growth constraints, we deployed temperature loggers on the exterior walls of buildings in the urban core of Toronto, Canada, a large mid-latitude city. Perennial vines shaded some walls, while others were bare. These devices systematically tracked exterior surface temperature fluctuations over six months, including the growing season, with full vine-leaf coverage. During peak solar access periods, average daily temperature differentials between vine-shaded and non-shaded building surfaces ranged from up to 6.5 °C on south-facing building exteriors to 7.0 °C on west-facing walls. Models were developed to estimate daily degree hour difference, a metric integrating the magnitude and duration of the temperature-moderating potential of vines. At ambient temperatures ≥ 23 °C, solar radiation intensity and ambient air temperature were positively correlated with vine effectiveness in mitigating the rise in built surface temperature; relative humidity was negatively associated. Installing vine cover on urban buildings in the form of green façades can complement tree planting as cities become hotter due to climate change, and space for growing trees diminishes with urban densification. Future research into the capacity of green façades to regulate outdoor temperature must establish uniform measurement protocols and undertake evaluations in diverse climatic scenarios. 
“That Colour Won’t Suit Me”: A Qualitative Inquiry of Colourism and Colonialism
Authors: Jaison Christine
Published: February 2024

This research is focused on interrogating the social issue of colourism within the South Asian community and particularly grappling with the discrimination and social ideations surrounding darker skin tones. The MRP centers the stories of self-identified South Asian women who have immigrated to or been raised in the settler state of Canada. My research question asks, what are stories of colourism in the lives of South Asian women in Toronto? Findings in this research touch upon concepts of race, colour, class, gender, socio-economic status, and how it relates to colonialist ideologies. Using a narrative approach to inquiry through interviewing, this research is centered in life stories which examine individuals’ lived experiences and is theoretically framed by critical race feminist and post-colonial lenses. The co-creation of this narrative brings forth the voices of silenced South Asian women who have been hurting for generations, challenging the idea that dark skin is not beautiful.
Borrowed Time: ‘Identity as Liability’ – A Critical Discourse Analysis of Imposter Syndrome in Social Workers with Disabilities
Authors: Kren Victoria
Published: February 2024

This major research paper investigates the discourse of imposter syndrome, and how it is understood and affects disabled social workers/social service workers/social work learners. My research question asks: what are the discourses on imposter syndrome in social work and how do they intersect with disability? Using the method of critical discourse analysis (CDA) – informed interviews, I conducted 5 interviews with participants to ask how they understand and experience imposter syndrome with respect to disability. I found that all participants felt the immense impacts of imposter syndrome in the form of upward comparisons, self-doubting, heightened distress, procrastination, and perfectionism. Participants were able to recognize the compounded effects of imposter syndrome on their lives as a result of holding differing identity markers such as: race, sexual orientation, gender identity, type of disability, etc. Social work needs to make room for talk about imposter-hood and challenge the notions of the “ideal social worker”.
Land Back: A Case Study of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation and One County’s Attempt at Reconciliation
Authors: Campbell Laura
Published: February 2024

This single instrumental case study highlights the Saugeen Ojibway Nation land claims case as a way to analyze actions of reconciliation. A detailed review of the historical context of the traditional territory and the development of the Canadian nation-state is described. Multiple sources of data were collected including a legal case, municipal county minutes and articles published in the local press. This research was grounded in the theoretical frameworks of anti-colonialism and anti-capitalism, which allowed for an analysis of the data that lead to multiple propositions. Key findings included the need for land back settlements to be combined with self-determination and compensation. Second, the burden of proof for Aboriginal title needs to be shifted to the colonial occupiers. Lastly, within Indigenous land settlement cases that are touted as acts of reconciliation, more needs to be done to affirm Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing.
Exploring the Functionality of Mental Health Services in Northern Ontario and how it Compares to Indigenous Youth Understandings of Thriving and Wellness
Authors: Sherk Jessica
Published: February 2024

This Major Research Paper utilized a qualitative research approach to understand the system of mental health services available to Indigenous youth in northern Ontario and how its functionality aligns or conflicts with Indigenous youth perspectives on thriving and wellness. Using a case study-informed approach, one data set consists of a comprehensive, descriptive list of approximately 200 mental health services for Indigenous youth living in remote First Nations in northern Ontario. The other data set was obtained from an Indigenous-led youth organization’s weekly social media campaign, Thriving Thursdays. Drawing from Critical Social Sciences (CSS) and decolonizing frameworks, this study seeks to identify systemic barriers impacting First Nations’ youth access to mental health services in northern Ontario and, simultaneously, incorporate Indigenous youths’ conceptualizations to reimagine the mental health system’s design. This paper concludes with implications and recommendations to improve mental health services in northern Ontario for Indigenous youth.

Social Workers in Corrections
Authors: Laryea Sandra
Published: February 2024

This study examines the experiences of four social workers working in Ontario correctional facilities. The study examined whether social workers in this environment can practice from a structural social work framework. The study explores the struggles social workers face in trying to meet not only the conditions of good practice, but to practice from a structural social work perspective. The messages from every participant were that the demands of the work environment overwhelmingly impede on social workers ability to meet the conditions of good practice. Social workers felt that there was lack of support and recognition for the work they do. Many of the participants feel lonely and isolated, and that there is pervasive sense of powerlessness when it comes to influencing their working environment.
Exploring Media Misrepresentation: A Critical Ethnography of the Portrayal of South Asian Women in Television
Authors: David Viaan
Published: February 2024

The media is considered one of the most powerful tools in society as it creates, shapes and perpetuates ideologies about marginalized communities (Glavinic, 2010). The portrayal of cultural groups in the media can shift audiences’ perception of a particular culture, but may contain inaccuracies or simplistic depictions which do not fully encompass their experiences. In this study, I sought to disrupt the hegemonic representation of South Asian women within the media and acknowledge the diverse lived experiences and narratives within this community. I conducted a secondary data analysis on the portrayal of South Asian women in selected popular television shows, analyzing the following characters: Kelly Kapoor from The Office, Mindy Lahiri from The Mindy Project, and the Vishwakumar family from Never Have I Ever. Employing a critical ethnography approach framed by critical race feminist theory and Foucault’s conceptualization of power to advance knowledge on how mainstream television conceptualization of South Asian women. The study revealed that the media continues to oppress and marginalize South Asian women through the perpetuation of cultural and racial stereotypes. This study challenges dominant narratives, shedding light on representation that better reflects, celebrates, and appreciates women of the South Asian community.
Adding an All Year Long Black History Class to High School Curriculum
Authors: Campbell Justine
Published: February 2024

Using qualitative research design, with three Black youth participants who are in grade 10-12 and have attended high school in Ontario, this study answered the main research question “What are the perspectives of Black students about adding a year-long Black History class into high school curriculum?” This research seeks to understand the extent of Black history content incorporated into the school curriculum i.e., if Black history is taught, at all, frequency and duration in high schools. The study used ethnography research design in order to understand and shed light on the cultural experiences and meaning making responses of three Black youth between the ages of 16-21 years old about their high school curriculum. Ethnography is salient for this study because it works best for people who share similar experience and culture. Due to COVID-19, semi-structured interviews, using five open-ended questions were conducted on the Zoom platform, to answer the main research question. This paper discusses how Black students feel about Black History Month, and their opinions about adding a year-round Black history class to learn (and teach) about the histories of Black people. Afrocentric theory and perspectives were used to frame this research as they help facilitate conversations about historical trauma and racial disparities (Whitehead, 2018). This study has the potential to provide race-based data to advance advocacy for enhancing the current high school curriculum, informing meaningful pedagogical practices and contributing to the arguments for hiring more Black teachers in high schools to meet the needs of Black students and align with the demographic composition of schools in Ontario.
The Impact of Social Stress on Cold and Hot Attention for Youth with Learning Disabilities: A Behavioural and ERP Investigation
Authors: Sibalis Annabel
Published: February 2024

Youth with learning disabilities (LD) often experience challenge with attention, a keystone process critical for development and effective functioning in academic, social, emotional, and behavioural spheres. Difficulties experienced across these domains can heighten levels of daily stress. To date, little research has examined the impact of stress on attention in youth with LD. Further, research completed with similar populations has employed stress-induction tasks that may be less developmentally salient for youth. This three-study dissertation addresses these limitations in a sample of youth with LD (n = 13) and without LD (n = 12). The first study explores the impact of LD status on baseline differences in attention on a “cold” (non-emotionally salient) attention task. Behavioural performance accuracy and event-related potentials (ERPs) captured from electroencephalographic recordings serve as indices of attention. The second study explores the impact of a social stressor (the Cyberball paradigm) on self-reported ostracism and neural indices of attention and emotion regulation, and if youth’s response differs depending on the presence of an LD. The third study explores LD-related differences in ‘hot’ (emotionally evocative) attention by examining differences in behavioural and ERP indices before and after exposure to the social stressor. Across the three studies, findings indicated that attention differed by LD status. Group differences in attention were found in both emotionally neutral (“cold”) and stress-induced (“hot”) contexts, with significantly greater attentional challenges noted in the LD group. Youth with LD were also found to experience greater ostracism than youth without LD in the context of intermittent rejection. These results suggest that the impact of social stress on neural indices of attention is greater for youth with LD, and that youth with LD are more sensitive to occasional rejection cues, even before rejection is experienced persistently. Findings are discussed alongside methodological considerations for future research examining stress and attention, including the potential benefits of examining group-level grand average ERP waveforms over the more traditional examination of peak ERP amplitudes. This research furthers our understanding of the challenges associated with LD, and along with future research may lead to improvements in psychosocial interventions that promote positive developmental trajectories for these youth.
Face-to-Face: An Investigation of Social Comparisons of Facial Attractiveness
Authors: Saiphoo Alyssa
Published: February 2024

Exposure to a face triggers a series of judgments about the person to which the face belongs. Some of the most widely studied judgments humans make from faces are evaluative judgments of facial attractiveness. These judgments are made frequently, automatically, and have important implications for judgments of other important social characteristics like trustworthiness and personality. A relatively understudied set of facial attractiveness judgments that are made from faces are comparative judgments, or social comparisons, of facial attractiveness. Based on social comparison theory, and what is known about evaluative judgments of facial attractiveness, it is likely that social comparisons of facial attractiveness are also frequent and have important implications. Despite this, little is known about social comparisons of facial attractiveness. To address this gap in the literature, three multi-method studies were conducted in this dissertation. The first was a systematic review to synthesize the existing research that directly or indirectly addressed social comparisons of facial attractiveness. Studies Two and Three empirically investigated whether or not social comparisons of facial attractiveness have features of automaticity. Study Two used a think aloud methodology to investigate the mandatory nature of social comparisons of facial attractiveness, whereas Study Three experimentally investigated how quickly social comparisons of facial attractiveness can be made. Together, these studies revealed more about how social comparisons of facial attractiveness occur and have theoretical implications for future research on the automaticity of mental processes more broadly.
Anxiety and Reassurance Seeking Behaviour in Children
Authors: Orr Erin
Published: February 2024

The purpose of the current work was to explore excessive reassurance seeking (ERS), a behaviour that has been largely understudied in children, as it relates to anxiety. In Study 1, a questionnaire that comprehensively assesses ERS in children with anxiety was developed and validated. This new questionnaire fills an important gap in the literature, as existing ERS measures for children are limited to a single type of ERS behaviour, despite research showing that other types of ERS are common and appear to be more closely associated with anxiety. In Study 2, the relationship between ERS behaviour and executive functioning was examined. A total of 122 children ages 8 to 15 and their parents participated in this study and completed measures assessing psychosocial and behavioural functioning, as well as executive functioning skills. Findings revealed that the new ERS questionnaire possesses good internal consistency and convergent validity with measures of anxiety. An Unweighted Least Squares estimation suggested two underlying factors: (1) ERS in response to general concerns about safety, and (2) ERS in response to concerns about performance and social perceptions. Specific anxiety symptoms were found to be differentially associated with each of these two factors. With regards to ERS and executive functioning, both parent and child-reported ERS were related to difficulties with cognitive shifting. The relationship between ERS and the other executive functioning variables assessed was inconsistent. Together, this research provides new insights into the association of ERS with different anxiety symptoms and executive functions, and a validated questionnaire that will support future research and enhance assessment and treatment planning for children with ERS.
Cognitive Restructuring Before Versus After Exposure: The Effect on Expectancy and Outcome in Individuals with Claustrophobia
Authors: Krause Kirstyn L.
Published: February 2024

Several strategies have been proposed for optimizing learning during exposure therapy. One strategy, expectancy violation, is thought to facilitate learning by maximizing the discrepancy between expected and actual outcomes of exposure. In the inhibitory learning model, Craske et al. (2014) suggest that engaging in cognitive restructuring (CR) prior to exposure will prematurely reduce expectancy (i.e., how much one believes a feared outcome will occur) and mitigate outcomes. Instead, they recommend reserving CR for after exposure to consolidate learning. To the best of my knowledge, this assumption has not been tested. The goal of this study was to examine whether CR before exposure prematurely reduces expectancy and mitigates outcomes. Participants (N = 93) endorsing all DSM-5 criteria or all DSM-5 criteria except clinically significant distress or impairment for specific phobia (enclosed places) attended an intervention bookended by pretreatment and posttreatment assessments, and a 1-month follow-up assessment. Participants were randomized to one of two interventions (1) the CR Before condition: 15 minutes of CR before exposure or (2) the CR After condition: 15 minutes of CR after exposure. A 15-minute filler task of self-report questionnaires was used as a no-treatment comparison: the CR Before condition completed the filler task after exposure and the CR After condition completed the filler task before exposure. Participants rated their expectancy (e.g., “I might suffocate,” “I might become trapped”) from 0% to 100% before and after engaging in either CR or the filler task before exposure. Next, participants engaged in six 5- minute tailored exposure trials using a claustrophobic chamber. The Claustrophobia Questionnaire (Radomsky et al., 2001), a Behavioural Approach Test, and the Claustrophobia General Cognitions Questionnaire (Febrarro & Clum, 1995) were used to measure treatment outcomes. It was hypothesized that the CR Before condition would experience greater expectancy reduction than the CR After condition before exposure, and therefore less improvement in claustrophobia outcomes at posttreatment and follow-up than the CR After condition. Results demonstrated that the CR Before condition had greater expectancy reduction than the CR After condition. However, both groups experienced similar and large significant improvement at posttreatment with gains achieved at follow-up. Implications are discussed.

Authors: Abu Dosh Rasha , Al-Mahameed Yazan Shaker
Published: February 2024

The present study aims to investigate cross-linguistic interference in the syntactic and semantic acquisition of Arabic. An essay writing test is used to collect data. A total of 30 English and Spanish speakers of Arabic participates in this quantitative study. The participants are selected from three language centers in Jordan via convenient sampling procedures. The analysis of data reveals the following main findings: L1 transfer errors made by English and Spanish speakers of Arabic at the syntactic level account for 45% and 22.1%, respectively, while the percentage of intralingual errors made by English and Spanish speakers of Arabic at syntactic level account for 55%, and 77.9% respectively. On the other hand, the findings demonstrate that the percentage of L1 transfer errors made by English and Spanish speakers of Arabic at the semantic level are 34.85% and 14.3%, respectively, while the total percentage of intralingual errors made by English and Spanish speakers of Arabic at semantic level account for 65.15%, and 85.7 % respectively. The primary source of errors made by English and Spanish speakers of Arabic at both syntactic and semantic levels is intralingual interference.

Published: February 2024

Ethanol was found to be the most suitable solvent for optimal extraction of cannabinoids and terpenes from Cannabis herba. Since ethanol use can have a serious impact on human health, purification of pharmaceuticals after ethanol extraction is necessary. Ethanol belongs to Class 3 residual solvents and its concentration is limited to 5000 ppm (0.5%) in the final pharmaceutical dosage forms. Determination (quantification) of ethanol in the final extracts is crucial for the quality and safety of the product. A novel GC/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of residual ethanol in cannabis extracts. The developed method is rapid, specific, accurate and precise. The calibration curve was plotted between the obtained peak areas of ethanol (quantifier ion m/z=31) and its concentration at six different concentration levels. The response was linear over the range of 312.5 ppm – 10000 ppm (R2 =0.9995). The limit of quantification, the limit of detection, system repeatability, method precision and recovery are demonstrated to evaluate the performance of the analytical procedure. The recovery range for added ethanol was 88.44% to 108.57%. The achieved results confirmed that the proposed method is suitable for monitoring the concentration of ethanol in cannabis extracts.

Implementing computerized system in QC laboratory requires detailed planning of the configuration considering that data integrity must be maintained through the whole life-cycle of the computerized systems. Identifying critical data integrity issues and assessing the possible risk to the whole process enables establishing suitable measures for assuring data integrity. Those measures are implemented in configuration of the system, which increased the security of the data and established controlled workflow. Creating methods which perform calculations reduces the time necessary for calculations and their validation, and verification for suitable use enables security and correctness of the obtained results. This makes the process of analysis more effective by reducing the possibility of human error and allowing for more detail via automation. At the end, adequate and carefully configured computerized system followed by proper validation, increases the data integrity, facilitates the analysis and reduces the time of review.

Published: February 2024

The need for literacy in the era of globalization demands the state's role to facilitate educational systems and services in line with the mandate of the 1945 Constitution. Efforts were made by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia by launching the Madrasah Literacy Movement (GLM) program to generate literacy at various levels of religious educational institutions. The research method uses qualitative research methods using a field research approach. Data was collected based on observations, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques using the Miles and Huberman model go through three steps: data condensation, data presentation, conclusion, and verification. The results showed that madrasah policies in adopting the madrasah literacy movement program in Public Islamic Elementary Schools (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri, MIN) were implemented by making policies for monitored reading programs, reading corner programs, and providing textbooks/non-lessons for students. The strategy of the madrasah literacy movement in MIN is the form of conditioning a literacy-friendly physical environment, striving for a social and practical environment as a communication and literacy interaction model, and seeking madrasah as a literate academic environment. Portrait of madrasah literacy movement in awakening literacy culture in MIN through planning, habituation, development, and learning activities of literacy programs.

Branchio-oto-renal (BOR) Syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by features such as branchial arch anomalies, hearing loss, preauricular fistula, auricular malformations, and renal abnormalities. Also, BOR syndrome without renal anomalies is referred to as branchio-otic syndrome. In this report, we present a case of a 50-year-old female patient with bilateral type 2 branchial arch anomalies, both preauricular fistula, bilateral inner ear malformations, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, and right auricular malformation. The patient underwent surgical treatment. This report is the first documentation in Korea of auricular malformation in BOR syndrome, where the patient’s family exhibited a typical autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
