Constructivist Approach to Language Learning: Linking Piaget's Theory to Modern Educational Practice
Authors: Lalu Idham Halid
Published: October 2024

This study aims to explore the application of the constructivism approach in language learning by connecting Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development with modern educational practices. Constructivism theory emphasizes that learning is an active process in which students build knowledge through experience and interaction with the environment. In the context of language learning, this approach is considered relevant to increase student engagement and support more meaningful learning. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Participants consisted of 10 teachers and 20 students who were selected by purposive sampling based on their experience in applying constructivist learning methods. The results show that the constructivism approach can increase students' active participation, improve critical thinking skills, and provide a more contextual and relevant language learning experience. Teachers who apply Piaget's principles, such as experiential learning, reflection, and collaboration, report increased student learning motivation. However, challenges in implementing this method include time constraints, a rigorous curriculum, and a lack of support resources for project-based learning. The study concludes that although constructivist approaches have great potential in language learning, further support is needed in terms of curriculum flexibility and resources. Recommendations for educators include increased use of technology and project-based teaching strategies to support more interactive and participatory language learning.

Authors: Marissa Swanda Tupamahu  , Sherly Gaspersz
Published: October 2024

This study analyzes the difficulties faced by EFL students in learning English phonology and phonetics at the English Department of Victory University of Sorong. The research involved 46 participants from the 5th and 7th semesters who had completed the English phonology and phonetics course. The findings reveal that students encounter significant challenges due to various factors, including interference from their first language (L1), inconsistencies in English spelling and pronunciation, and limited exposure to authentic speech and diverse accents. Additionally, cognitive constraints such as processing limitations and insufficient phonological working memory further hinder their ability to apply phonological theory in real-world communication. The lack of focused phonological training in the curriculum, combined with psychological barriers like pronunciation anxiety, also contributes to the students’ struggles. These findings highlight the need for enhanced phonological instruction, increased exposure to varied spoken English, and strategies to build student confidence, which are essential for overcoming the difficulties in mastering English phonology and phonetics.

Published: October 2024

This research was conducted to reflect on teachers' performance and analyze the improvement of the quality of student learning in Indonesian language subjects. This research aims to explore the use of poetry learning strategies through CRT. The focus is on improving the quality of Indonesian language learning by implementing CRT in the students' environment. This research design uses a case study. Based on the implementation of Field Experience Practices, it was found that students looked sleepy and easily bored while learning the Indonesian language. This case was because Indonesian learning displays too much long text. So, the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach was implemented to solve the problem. Teaching using the CRT approach in the Indonesian language subject was carried out for eight weeks with two sessions of meetings in class X.1 of State Senior High School 1 Jember. The results showed that students actively participate in the learning process. Besides, learners' learning activities support the existence of learning products. The Indonesian language learning product produced is a musicalization video of poetry. The product also received feedback from the teacher in the form of appreciation, enthusiasm, and motivation for students. The findings of this research show that improving the quality of learning can be achieved by utilizing CRT as a context in the development of texts and their instruction. The meaningfulness of the learning can be seen from the students' deep understanding, enabling them to grasp the benefits and functions of studying texts in Indonesian. This study recommends implementing Culturally Responsive Teaching in Indonesian language learning subjects to increase student learning activities. One of the activities of Culturally Responsive Teaching is creating appropriate activities for students' cultural backgrounds in the form of musicalization poetry.

Conlusions
Authors: Albertoni Giuseppe
Published: October 2024

The summary provides an overview of the essays collected in this volume and places them in the context of research that has innovatively redefined the theme of the “frontier” in the Early Middle Ages in recent decades. In doing so, it shows how the concept of border is used in the essays not only in its political, but also in its ideological and cultural sense. Despite the diversity of perspectives and themes, however, a common feature emerges: the prevalence of “porous” and “blurred” borders that testify to a dynamic political and cultural reality that is constantly being redefined.

A Doença Celíaca (DC) é uma enfermidade autoimune desencadeada pela ingestão de glúten em indivíduos geneticamente predispostos. Tradicionalmente associada a sintomas gastrointestinais, a DC também pode se manifestar através de uma ampla gama de manifestações extraintestinais, que muitas vezes complicam o diagnóstico e o manejo clínico. Este artigo de revisão tem como objetivo explorar as manifestações extraintestinais da DC e discutir suas implicações clínicas. A compreensão dessas manifestações é essencial para um diagnóstico precoce e um manejo eficaz da doença, especialmente em pacientes que apresentam sintomas atípicos. Inicialmente reconhecida por suas manifestações gastrointestinais, como diarreia crônica e má absorção, a DC também se manifesta de forma extraintestinal, afetando múltiplos sistemas do corpo, como o neurológico, dermatológico, endocrinológico e musculoesquelético. Essas manifestações complicam o diagnóstico e exigem uma abordagem multidisciplinar. As principais manifestações extraintestinais incluem dermatite herpetiforme, neuropatia periférica, ataxia cerebelar, osteoporose, osteomalácia e condições autoimunes, como diabetes tipo 1 e doenças da tireoide. O tratamento baseia-se em uma dieta estritamente isenta de glúten, que, se adotada precocemente, pode reverter ou estabilizar muitos dos sintomas e prevenir complicações graves. A identificação precoce da DC e a conscientização sobre suas formas atípicas são essenciais para o manejo eficaz, especialmente nos casos sem sintomas gastrointestinais aparentes. A DC exige uma vigilância contínua, suplementação nutricional e um acompanhamento multidisciplinar para garantir a saúde integral dos pacientes.

O estudo aborda as hérnias inguinais, uma condição comum que resulta de uma fraqueza na parede abdominal, sendo prevalente em homens. A correção cirúrgica é indicada em casos sintomáticos ou com risco de complicações. Ao longo dos anos, várias técnicas foram desenvolvidas para o tratamento, destacando-se a técnica de Lichtenstein, conhecida por sua simplicidade e eficácia, com uma taxa de recorrência baixa, e as técnicas laparoscópicas, como TAPP e TEP, que oferecem vantagens como recuperação mais rápida e menos dor pós-operatória, mas com maior custo e complexidade técnica. A metodologia utilizada foi uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com busca em bases de dados renomadas, analisando estudos publicados entre 1990 e 2023 que comparavam essas técnicas. Os resultados mostraram que ambas são eficazes, sendo a técnica de Lichtenstein preferida em casos de maior risco anestésico, apesar de causar maior desconforto no pós-operatório. Por outro lado, a laparoscopia demonstrou melhores resultados em termos de recuperação, mas envolveu maior risco de complicações intraoperatórias, especialmente em cirurgiões menos experientes. Conclui-se que a escolha da técnica deve ser baseada no perfil do paciente e na experiência do cirurgião, com o objetivo de garantir os melhores resultados a curto e longo prazo.

Immersive and virtual exhibitions: A reflection on… art?
Authors: López-Rodríguez Miriam , Rodríguez-Pérez Vicente , Rodríguez Ana F. López
Published: October 2024

This paper explores the conceptualization and evolution of virtual exhibitions and immersive art experiences, highlighting their distinctions and similarities. Virtual exhibitions, conducted online or through digital media, offer a platform for showcasing artworks to a global audience without physical constraints. They employ multimedia elements to engage viewers and provide flexibility in exploration. Conversely, immersive art experiences create environments that envelop the viewer, stimulating multiple senses and often incorporating advanced technologies, such as virtual reality and augmented reality. These experiences aim to evoke emotional responses and facilitate active engagement with the artwork. While proponents argue that virtual exhibitions and immersive art experiences democratize access to art and offer new avenues for artistic expression, critics have raised concerns about their impact on authenticity, viewer engagement, and art commercialization. Philosophical and cultural perspectives, including phenomenology and postmodern theory, shed light on the complexities of these art forms and their relationship with reality and simulation. This paper, further, examines the social and business implications of virtual exhibitions and immersive art experiences, noting their growing popularity and influence on the art market. It discusses the viewpoints of artists, critics, and scholars, both supportive and critical, regarding technology’s role in art and its effects on the viewer’s experience. Virtual exhibitions and immersive art experiences represent an evolving landscape in the art world, offering opportunities for innovation and debate. Their impact on the perception and consumption of art remains a subject of ongoing discussion.

Authors: Kirushnakumar Harshini Priya , Mohan Niranjana , Kane Joseph P. M.
Published: October 2024

With increasing life expectancy in India, the prevalence of age-related disorders, such as dementia has also increased. Health and social care resources for each state are allocated based on their inhabitants’ age, sex, education, and urban/rural status but not on the dementia subtype, which can significantly influence prognosis, healthcare utilization, and quality of life. Herein, we aimed to systematically review studies investigating the prevalence of the Lewy body dementia (LBD) subtype in India. We conducted a systematic review of EMBASE, MEDLINE, and APA PsychINFO databases on June 22, 2023. Two independent reviewers performed screening and full-text review, with a third reviewer resolving any disputes. Quality was assessed for each extracted paper. Of 1372 identified studies, full-text reviews were conducted on 399 and data were extracted from 4. Two studies included prevalence data on dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), one on Parkinson’s disease dementia and one on LBD. DLB or LBD has been reported to represent 1.0 – 8.9% of dementia diagnoses. Methodological heterogeneity was characterized by study design, access to biomarkers, diagnostic criteria, and use of cognitive tools. No studies reported incidence data. A paucity of research on LBD epidemiology in India is compounded by methodological heterogeneity, poorly representative cohorts, and varying access to biomarkers. Consensus guidelines may support data harmonization and the creation of multisite consortia, which could redress the under-representation of Central Asian data in epidemiological and genetic LBD studies.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that causes skeletal muscle weakness and atrophy, resulting in respiratory failure and a short lifespan. Considering the lack of effective treatment, this study investigated the effects of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) on the clinical symptoms and potential mechanisms in a mouse model of ALS superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1-G93A). Neurological assessments, including neurological scoring, rotarod testing, and 7-T magnetic resonance imaging, were conducted to evaluate neurological impairments. Survival rates and body weight of the mice were also recorded. Immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry analyses were performed to investigate the number of neurons and infiltrated inflammatory cells in the spinal cord as well as the central nervous system. The results indicate that infusion of hDPSCs increased the body weight, mitigated motor neuron dysfunction, and extended the lifespan of SOD1-G93A mice by approximately 15 days. Moreover, hDPSCs infusion reduced the degree of spinal cord atrophy. Results suggested that the number of neurons in the central nervous system of SOD1-G93A mice was significantly decreased, but hDPSCs infusion resulted in an increase in these numbers. However, hDPSCs infusion had no obvious effect on microglia phenotypes in SOD1-G93A mice. This study emphasizes the potential of hDPSCs to mitigate neuronal loss in an ALS mouse model, suggesting a promising therapeutic avenue for ALS.

Life expectancy is a key determinant of a nation’s health and well-being. However, West African countries face several challenges in improving life expectancy, such as inadequate healthcare infrastructure, corruption, poor sanitation, and environmental quality due to environmental degradation. In addition, energy accessibility is an important determinant of health outcomes and environmental quality. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 7, 12, 13, 14, and 15 are directly linked with energy access; achieving these goals will lead to an improvement in energy access. Therefore, in this study, using data obtained from the World Bank and the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, we investigated the impact of energy consumption and corruption on life expectancy in lower-middle-income West African countries from 1990 to 2021. The results of the cross-sectional auto-regressive distributed lag technique showed that renewable energy has a positive and significant impact on life expectancy in lower-middle-income West African countries in both the short and long run. However, non-renewable energy was found to have a significant and negative impact on life expectancy in the long run and a negative but non-significant impact in the short run. Corruption had a debilitating effect on life expectancy in both the short and long run. We recommend that policymakers should make a conscious and deliberate push toward transitioning to renewable energy through public–private partnerships to provide affordable and clean energy while tackling corruption.
Assessing the adequacy of health facilities for the aging population in Indian cities

India, a developing country and currently the most populous nation, has been experiencing a rapid and unpredictable increase in the proportion of its older population. The healthcare system is already struggling to meet the needs of the current population, and the rising number of older adults is expected to further strain resources. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the distribution of the older population in Indian cities and their access to advanced health facilities. The study uses data from Census of India, 2011, which is the latest census data available. A Health Facilities Index was developed to assess the availability of health facilities, and a geospatial approach was adopted to determine aging patterns and access to health facilities across cities. Despite similar aging trends, health infrastructure was unevenly distributed across cities. The study revealed that advanced health facilities were concentrated in specific areas, primarily metropolitan cities, whereas smaller cities lacked adequate health facilities and accessibility. Therefore, improving health infrastructure in smaller cities to match that in larger ones should be prioritized. The findings highlight a notable infrastructure gap in Indian cities, which presents a significant challenge to achieving healthy aging in the country.
Understanding the fundamental mechanisms and conditions of the tumor-suppressive and oncogenic roles of sirtuins in cancer: A review

Published: October 2024

Silent information regulators (SIRTs) or sirtuins represent a group of class III nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide–dependent histone deacetylases. In mammals, seven types of sirtuins are distinguished, differing in their target structures, enzymatic activities, and subcellular localization. Histone deacetylation is a form of epigenetic regulation of gene expression that can cause activation or deactivation of selected genetic targets. Activation of sirtuins is part of the response to nutritional and environmental stimuli (starvation, DNA damage, and oxidative stress). Activated sirtuins subsequently stimulate specific transcriptional programs to make mitochondrial oxidative metabolism more efficient in the fight against oxidative stress or regulate proteins responsible for DNA repair after damage. As a result of their multifunctional involvement in cellular metabolism, dysregulation and aberrant expression of sirtuins have been observed in various cancers. Sirtuins play a dual role in carcinogenesis, acting as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors and affecting the proliferation, apoptosis, and survival of cancerous cells.

The food waste (FW) is a widespread and persistent concern that has substantial environmental, social, and economic consequences. This study addresses the intricate relationship among sustainable food production, technological innovation, and the imperative to reduce FW, analyzing the entire food supply chain from production to consumption to identify key points where waste occurs. The potential of developing technologies is evaluated to induce substantial transformations. The study elucidates how precision agriculture, smart packaging, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and consumer-centric apps can transform food systems through a comprehensive assessment of literature and case studies. Challenges, opportunities, and future research directions are comprehensively discussed, emphasizing the need for collaborative, multi-stakeholder approaches to achieve a sustainable and waste-conscious food future.
