Authors: Šola Hedda Martina , Qureshi Fayyaz Hussain , Khawaja Sarwar
Published: September 2021

The outbreak of COVID-19 caused severe disruption to most sectors of the global economy, creating a spectre of fear, anxiety and uncertainty. The education sector has been one of the worst affected by the pandemic. The education sector is one of the heavily affected sectors. The pandemic forced educational institutions worldwide to close, cancel classes and shift towards remote working and online teaching. The purpose of this study is to investigate the implication of the COVID-19 pandemic on private higher education. Moreover, the study's main objective is to assess the pandemic's academic management, especially in private higher education. For this, different landscapes were examined, including pre, during and Post COVID-19, focusing on the post-COVID-19 implications. In addition, various publications and surveys have been analysed to find out about the COVID-19 followed-up changes happening in higher education and its management. For this particular study, qualitative research was employed by conducting nine semi-structured interviews with academic managers working in the private higher education sector in the UK to capture their experience insights about the implications, advantages, disadvantages, and challenges faced during the pandemic. The findings showed that workplace accessibility was the most affected factor; during the lockdown, the private higher education institutions (PrHEIs) could recruit highly qualified and experienced part-time academic staff, as they need to teach online. However, most of these part-time academic staff wanted to quit when face-to-face teaching starts, as they live far from their institutions. Only online teaching motivated them to join during the lockdown because it provided ease and convenience, no travelling time & cost, freedom and autonomy. In addition, the online teaching amazingly increased the student attendance; higher pass rates but difficulties in engaging students in group activities. Another one of the challenges was the immediate adoption of online teaching and training of academic staff. Moreover, the reinvention of a new workplace approach and the high level of technology implementation to abide by the safety regulations will permanently transform the work routine. Therefore, most of the employees want to continue remote working in future.

Authors: Ozturk Nesrin
Published: September 2021

16 centuries ago, Socrates implemented a pedagogy of critical thinking where he helped others move from premise to premise to a discovery. In the current context, the 21st century’s stakeholders are bombarded with a great amount of information and should still engage in critical thinking to discern what is important, reliable, and valid or not, to apply, analyze, and evaluate information, as well as to create and collaborate for new knowledge. In this sense, Socratic pedagogy can be an effective tool for such competencies and thereby, it is important for teachers to develop knowledge and skills to practice Socratic methodologies in mainstream classrooms. As published materials may offer teachers support with their professionalism, Teach Like Socrates: Guiding Socratic Dialogues and Discussions in the Classroom was reviewed for its efficiency and practicality for classroom instruction.

CREATIVITY AND TRANSLATOR TRAINING: INVESTIGATING WORDPLAYS IN AMERICAN SITCOM 2 BROKE GIRLS SUBTITLED INTO BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE
Authors: Brezolin Adauri , Bóvis Spinetti Tatiane de Paula
Published: September 2021

Translating wordplays has been considered a challenging task and an appropriate exercise for building (meta)linguistic awareness in translation students. By comparing wordplays from American sitcom 2 Broke Girls translated from American English into Brazilian Portuguese, we discuss, in this article, the main mechanisms used to generate and translate wordplays. For solutions considered ineffective in the target language, suggestions are offered emphasizing the creative and pragmatic aspects surrounding this linguistic event. Our results show that it is possible to encourage creativity among translation students if suitable techniques, such as free association, are adopted in the classroom. Our discussion can be a useful didactic tool for reflecting on theoretical and practical aspects related to wordplays, (meta)linguistic awareness and creativity.

Authors: Mir Shah , Jahangir Saima
Published: September 2021

Reassessment and interpretation of gender dynamics in the current social order has been prevalent theme within gender discourses. The yoke of subordination borne by women as readers, writers or fictional characters in the patriarchal pyramid occupies a central space across the whole spectrum of debates. This study utilizes a qualitative mode of inquiry which is centered on textual analysis. The present study evaluates the instances of gender subjectivity and patterns of subjugation within the textual arena invested with hegemonic ideologies as depicted in the novel The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James. The paper employs feminist critical discourse analysis as a tool to analyze The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James in order to dissect the underlying ideologies present in the Victorian time period and investigates discourses of subjectivity. The findings of the study demonstrate that notwithstanding temporal advancements, gender power structures remain intact, and women continue to suffer under patriarchal power structures.

Authors: Alshengiti Alwaleed Mohamed Abdullah , Musa Rabab Alshaiekh Idres
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Flipped Learning is an educational approach that combines the traditional classroom with online tools to find its best method in the Flipped classroom where the responsibility for the teaching process is somehow shifted to the students who have direct access to the lesson's contents before going to school. In this strategy, the instructor becomes an information facilitator and leads students in the transition from lecturing to the acquisition exercise of abilities and competencies. This paper explores E-learning approaches and the exceptional strategies implications students may additionally have. It also illustrates how such activities and methodologies can be a complete learning system. Methods: Furthermore, the most appropriate way to carry out Flipped teaching has been to create virtual classes on social media such as Facebook, Edmodo, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams which are also helpful as a sort of online discussion forum between the teacher and their students. From this new perspective, students have experienced new techniques and methods through cooperative Learning, a teaching/learning model that allows them to figure together in small groups to achieve the same goals. In addition, students can create digital products and post them on the Internet, thereby attaining great results. Results: All the activities are planned to require critical thinking and different learning styles at the end, supporting the idea of individual Learning rather than group learning.

Authors: Al-Khadhmi Ahmed Qasem H. , M. B. Mirza , Al-Eryani Abdullah Ali
Published: September 2021

The present study aimed at investigating the pragmatic competence of the Yemeni Non-Native Speakers of English (YNNSs) through examining their performance in the speech act of refusals. The study followed the qualitative comparative analytic approach. For the purpose of attaining the required data for this study, forty (YNNSs) and forty American Native Speakers (ANSs) of English were involved. The questionnaire used for collecting data from the participants was a written Discourse Completion Task (DCT), which was developed by Beebe et el. (1990), employed for collecting the data related to the use of refusal strategies by the two groups of participants in English. The data collected from DCT was analyzed by using a loading scheme adapted from Beebe et al. (1990). This study revealed that the Yemeni NNSs were not pragmatically competent enough in English. In spite of the similarity between the two groups in their use of refusal strategies, the differences between them were more apparent. The total number of strategies used by the American NSs was almost double those used by the Yemeni NNSs in all refusal situations. This study recommends that instructors should design contextualized, task-based, oral activities and integrating the intercultural aspects of language into ELT textbooks.

SARTRE, BOURDIEU, AND GUSTAVE FLAUBERT: FROM INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM AND SOCIAL DETERMINISM IN THE FIELD OF LITERARY CREATION
Authors: Fiedler Emma Barrett
Published: September 2021

Drawing from the analysis of Sartre’s monumental biography of the French writer Gustave Flaubert and Bourdieu’s critical response to it, this article explores anew the dialectics of agency and coercion through the lenses of sartrian philosophy and bourdieusian sociology. From his birth to his childhood and his death in 1880, the biographical elements of the life of Madame Bovary’s author and the contents of his literary works were depicted by Sartre and Bourdieu in a dialogue questioning the writer’s individual goals, strategies, limits and fate. Put in a historical perspective, this socio-philosophical confrontation between the theoretical aims and methods of existentialist psychoanalysis and structuralist socio-analysis reopens the oldest of debates between actor-centered philosophy of action and socio-centered logic of practice, between the transcendence of ego and the transcendence of social, or freedom and determinism.

CREATION OF PARALLEL BODIES DISEMPOWERING THE EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONING OF PANCHAYATI RAJ INSTITUTIONS IN INDIA
Authors: Thirupathi L. , Aijaz Sultana , Bhaskar K.
Published: September 2021

By bridging the gap between PRIs and parallel bodies across the country, this study will examine how the process of decentralisation is being actively considered by the Indian government as well as state governments. The multiple parallel bodies established by governments have resulted in the emergence of numerous parallel structures, undermining the panchayats. The proliferation of organisations has confused, as well as conflict and disempowerment of the Panchayats. The interface has become a key component of many state governments' agendas to assist make the multiple parallel entities more effective, sustainable, and PRIs-friendly. Accept that interlinkages will play a limited role and influence in the process of decentralisation and good governance unless the government takes decisive steps to devolve functions, funding, and officials to the PRIs, enabling decentralised planning and convergence. The higher authority would then have to disempower themselves to empower the PRIs. Devolution of power and authority from the State Government to the three-tiered PRIs could provide space and opportunity for more rigorous accountability measures. My article reflects on how many states are implementing programmes primarily through state bureaucracies, resulting in parallel structures, which is contrary to the spirit of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992.

The selfish ambitions of mankind have done terrible damage to our planet. The results of the understanding that puts people in the foreground have caused great destruction in nature. The disasters that followed the warming of the climate made visible the effects of excessive consumption, unplanned urbanization, and destroyed forests on ecology and therefore on humanity. In recent years, the focus of art has also clearly shifted to ecology. Projects that define the coming of the world to the present and suggest future scenarios have been supported by institutions working on culture and art. In this context, photographers, who keep the record of the change of the world, are an important figure in individual or collaborative work on the subject. One of them is the Pictet Photography Award, which financially supports photography projects in the context of the environment and sustainability. In this article, the mission of the Pictet photography award, its method of operation, the reason for the selection of the determined themes and their importance today, the definition of the final photography projects in terms of content and aesthetics, and how they contribute to the photographers will be discussed. The names considered as examples were chosen from photographers using various aesthetic expression methods. In addition, each of the sample projects corresponds to a topic determined as a theme.

circuncisão que conta é a do coração (Rm 2,25-29)
Authors: De Sousa e Silva Clodomiro
Published: September 2021

O argumento exposto por Paulo, em Rm 2,25-29, insere-se no contexto imediato de 2,17-29, que apresenta os atributos do verdadeiro judeu, e no contexto mais amplo de 1,18–3,20, que desenvolve o tema do juízo divino, fora da ótica do Evangelho da justiça de Deus. A passagem tem por objetivo principal demonstrar que a circuncisão, como sinal “manifesto na carne” (v. 28), só é vantajosa para quem pratica a Lei (v. 25). O horizonte a partir do qual se avalia o proveito ou não da circuncisão é o escatológico, do encontro definitivo com Deus, que não usa de parcialidade com ninguém. O apóstolo busca essencialmente desmontar falsas seguranças, concretizadas na pertença à nação judaica e na prática da circuncisão, que se interpretam aqui a partir da oposição externo-interno. Este estudo traz uma análise exegética da perícope, com uma atenção especial à retórica textual, em vista de colher o seu significado, no contexto em que se apresenta.

Published: September 2021

One of the first experiences of shunt implantation in the world occurred in 1949, by Nulsen and Spitz, who implanted a rubber catheter with a ball valve system, from the lateral ventricle to the internal jugular vein [1]. In the 1950s, the shunt systems had great development, especially the Spitz-Holter system, first used in 1956, consisting of the first system produced on a large scale. The second patient who benefited from this new system was Holter's son Casey, who had myelomeningocele [2,3]. From these first American reports, the shunt surgery had great worldwide dissemination in the 1960s.  One of the first CSF shunts in Brazil and Latin America occurred in 1966, in the city of Uberaba, Minas Gerais, by Prof. Francisco Mauro Guerra Terra, founder of the Chair of Neurosurgery at Triângulo Mineiro Medical School, today part of Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM). The procedure was performed at the Children's Hospital of Uberaba, at the time one of University Hospitals, and the patient was a 7-month-old baby named Maria Beatriz. The child suffered from hydrocephalus, as a complication of tuberculous meningitis, and was diagnosed by pneumoventriculography, a procedure described by Dandy, and widely used in the era before tomography [4] (Fig. 1). The child was submitted to a ventriculo-atrial shunt (Figs. 2, 3 and 4), with implantation of a catheter without a valve, an option widely used at the time. Besides Prof. Guerra, the surgical team was composed by the then medical students Jaime Olavo Marquez, later titular of the Neurology Department of UFTM, Antônio Luiz da Costa Sobrinho, later a neurosurgeon, who later settled in Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, Brazil Carlos Antunes de Paula, also later a neurosurgeon, who settled in the city of Santos, São Paulo, Brazil and the anesthesiologist Dr. Newton Camargo Araújo, from Uberaba (Fig. 5). There is a postoperative image of the case, showing the success of the procedure (Fig. 6). The surgery had great repercussion in the national media at the time (Fig. 7).
Torkildsen shunt as an option for hydrocephalus associated with optic pathway glioma
Authors: Da Silva Aldo José F
Published: September 2021

Hydrocephalus caused by optic pathway glioma (OPG) is most often treated with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS), but this treatment may present complications such as ascites. Hence, ventriculocisternal shunt is an option worth considering. This article reports a case in which it was decided to place a ventriculocisternal or Torkildsen shunt in a patient with hydrocephalus caused by OPG. Case Report: A 12-year-old girl, amaurotic, with a VPS due to hydrocephalus caused by an OPG, reported to the emergency room with abdominal distension and pain and difficulty in walking. Computed tomography of the abdomen was performed, and a large amount of fluid was evidenced in the peritoneal cavity (ascites). Liver and kidney functions were normal. In the surgical procedure, the distal extremity of the ventriculoperitoneal catheter was exposed, and 3 L of ascites fluid of cerebrospinal origin was drained. After 10 days of antibiotic therapy, a ventriculocisternal or Torkildsen shunt was placed. After 4 years of follow-up, the patient has no complaints. Discussion: Arne Torkildsen was the first to perform a ventriculocisternal shunt in 1937; it is indicated in cases of hydrocephalus with obstruction of the aqueduct or third ventricle. In OPG, increased protein levels in CSF and the use of platinum-based chemotherapy agents would explain the development of ascites after VPS placement. In these cases of hydrocephalus with third ventricle tumor infiltrating the hypothalamus, the ventriculocisternal shunt can be used as an option in specific cases.

Therefore, there must be planning suggestions in the process of developing the tourist village.The author used the theory of the strategic planning process according to Bryson which has eight steps.

Published: September 2021

This study aims to describe the synergy between TNI and Polri in countering terrorism. This research uses a mixed method with a SWOT analysis (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat) to find the best strategies in increasing the synergy between TNI and Polri in countering terrorism. This research concludes that there is a need for a Presidential Decree which contains technical operational regulations so that the TNI's involvement mechanism is clearer in countering terrorism, command and control in countering acts of terrorism is one of the main factors that determine the success of operations. The ability of the TNI and Polri to cope with actions terrorism is still not optimal because of the lack of intensity of joint training in counterterrorism, as well as a narrow, negative and overblown understanding of "esprit de corps" will have negative implications for application in everyday life and in assignment situations, especially in counterterrorism involving the TNI and Polri.d short conclusion. The abstract should only be typed in one paragraph and one-column format.

This study compares the Malaysian coaching process’s key development themes with Cote and Gilbert’s (2009) Effective Coaching Model in Malaysian football development. The participant selection is based on purposive sampling involving fourteen head coaches from State Sports Schools throughout Malaysia. In addition, an in-depth semi-structured interview with open-ended questions was carried out and analysed following Glaser and Strauss’s constant comparative method (1967). Based on the analysis, the following seven new development themes have emerged in the context of the Malaysian coaching process as compared to Cote and Gilbert, Effective Coaching Model: i) signature coaching, ii) risk management, iii) fun elements, iv) empowerment, v) spirituality, vi) life skills and vii) coaching intervention. Subsequent exploration is recommended to identify how this knowledge is integrated into the coaching process and applied in the Malaysian football development program.

Published: September 2021

The leadership aspects of rural leaders in Malaysia are still unclear, and a consensus of the characteristics of credible rural community leaders has not been achieved. In addition, there is still a lack of specific and in-depth research on community leadership in rural areas in Malaysia. Therefore, a study was conducted to deepen understanding of leadership, specifically in the rural community leadership characteristics and success factors. The current study used a qualitative approach via a focus group discussion method involving 15 informants from the Village Development and Security Committee (JPKK) to gain in-depth information. The major themes that emerged from findings include inborn leadership, leadership quality, leadership characteristics, leadership motivation, and leadership training, referred to as leaders’ success factors. The current study hopes that the government can provide focused and comprehensive leadership training programs to ensure leaders perform their duties effectively and efficiently.
Building Social Resilience after the 2014 Flood Disaster
Authors: Yusoff Sarina , Yusoff Nur Hafizah
Published: September 2021

The 2014 flood disaster has brought physical destruction, damage as well as social disruption that caused normal life to become less stable. A state of social equilibrium needs to be restored through effective restoration solutions to normalise life after the disaster. This qualitative research aims to identify two main issues, namely social disruption and social resilience, by utilising a case study of the 2014 flood disaster in Hulu Dungun, Terengganu. A total of 15 victims were selected using the purposive sampling method based on a set of defined criteria–the data collection method comprised of in-depth interviews and non-participant observation. The data were analysed through thematic analysis techniques. The results showed that the disruption suffered by the victims included disruption of social roles, the uncertainty of employment, instability of social routine, and collective trauma. However, the availability of social resilience had enabled the victims to rebuild their lives after flood disasters and restore the ‘normal’ or ‘stable’ situations of social equilibrium. The research is expected to contribute to environmental sociology that has yet to receive widespread attention from sociological researchers in Malaysia. This research is a meaningful effort towards promoting and increasing the environmental sociology study, which to date, remains disoriented.
