Finally, the report emphasizes the opportunities and challenges in balancing the relationship between North Korea and other countries, such as South Korea and the USA, while also discussing Vietnam's role in promoting regional stability and development.

Published: July 2024

Focalization, sometimes referred to as narrative perspective or point of view, is an important component of narrative structure that affects how readers interpret a story. Focalization is an important narrative method in "Beauty and the Beast," used to illustrate certain themes, character development, and emotions. The novel's internal focalization and other focalization strategies are examined in this qualitative research along with how they enhance the narrative as a whole. The purpose of this research is to get people's opinions on a subject without giving much direction or guidance (Perreault and McCarthy, 2006: 176). By analyzing these strategies, we can see how they enhance the portrayal of character development, inner conflict, and underlying themes such as compassion, love, and acceptance. The results found in this study are internal, external, and emotional characteristics drawn from the 3 main characters. A greater understanding of how "Beauty and the Beast" skillfully combines several narrative motifs to tell a timeless and meaningful story of self-discovery, redemption, and the transformative power of true love is possible when one recognizes the importance of focalization in the work.

Educators also provided critical reports stating that special needs students miss or fail to understand activities in online education. The reason for this issue can be the lack of access to resources, the inability to benefit from resources, or the difficulty in following practices. This research was designed to investigate the effect of online implementation on students with special needs in science classrooms. For this purpose, a four-week online education was conducted by selecting a special needs 7th-grade student with mild intellectual disability. Before and after the implementation, an achievement test and an attitude scale were utilized to examine the academic success of the student and her attitudes towards science courses. As a result of the online intervention, it was observed that there was an enhancement in the student’s attitude and academic success. Providing remote one-on-one support can offer contributions to the development of special needs students.

The aim of this descriptive survey study is to determine the relationship between self-confidence and social anxiety among university students who have undergone music education and those who have not. The sample for this study consists of students enrolled at a state University. The researchers used a ‘Personal Information Form’ as a data collection tool. To determine the students’ self-confidence levels, they employed the Self-Confidence Scale developed by Akın (2007). Additionally, the researchers used The Social Anxiety Scale, which was developed by Liebowitz and adapted into Turkish by Eren-Gümüş (1997), to determine the students’ social anxiety levels. The research revealed that the students had moderate levels of both inner and external self-confidence, and low levels of anxiety and avoidance. Additionally, a weak negative correlation was found between the students’ inner self-confidence and their anxiety and avoidance levels, specifically for those with music education. Research has shown that students without music education have a negative correlation between their inner self-confidence and anxiety levels. It is important to note that these findings only apply to students without music education. Additionally, a weak negative correlation was found between the external self-confidence and anxiety levels, as well as between the self-confidence and avoidance factors.

Inclusive education has grown into a worldwide process of educating all students, confirming a commitment to universal guidelines and values of inclusiveness and diversity. It involves recognizing and eliminating roadblocks that limits students, especially disadvantaged ones, from participating and flourishing in their endeavors. More importantly, the complexities of diversity concerns have improved as the concept of inclusive education has shifted its emphasis from facilitating children with disabilities towards educating all students. Inclusive pedagogy serves EVERY learner with individual differences, engaging everyone despite their socioeconomic status, capacities, native tongue, cultural background, religion, gender, racial background, disabilities etc. promotes their worth, egalitarianism, and equity for everyone. It supports and values everyone who participates in a classroom and acknowledges that we all learn from one another even the teacher, who can learn from the students. Inclusive pedagogy welcomes various cultures, creates suitable atmospheres for the interaction of diverse opinions, and assigns different tasks that require students to reflect thoughtfully regarding equitable and multicultural issues. Government initiatives and policy serves as the best practices for the nation. As beautifully quoted by Kothari Commission (1964-66), ‘Destiny of a nation is shaped in its classroom’. Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) in 2004, students of differently-able are to be enlightened in an atmosphere that is least restrictive (LRE) alongside classmates without special needs in the nearby schools to fullest extent with appropriate measures in educational system. Certain Pedagogical Practices can be employed in the classroom instead of just teaching syllabus through talk-chalk method to cater the needs of everyone in order to develop them fully so that they ALL can become future contributors of the society, nation and world. A promising approach with utmost dedication towards these future generations has to be implemented religiously by mentors every day in the classroom to uplift them, energized them towards their own goals by not following the traditional approach ‘One Size Fits All’.

The aim of this study is to determine the 7-day exercise and physical activity levels of physically disabled athletes located in all geographical regions of Turkey and to examine the factors affecting this. The Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with a Physical Disability was applied as an online survey. The study group consisted of 224 physically disabled athletes, including orthopedic standing, orthopedic wheelchair, visually and hearing impaired athletes. In the analyses, Mann- Whitney U test for independent groups in binary categorical variables; the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for triple categorical variables. One-Way Analysis of Variance for the Obstacle Type variable, Post-Hoc multiple comparison test was applied for significant differences and Tamhane’s T2 Test was used, one of the non-homogeneous Post-Hoc tests. When the 7-day physical activity status of physically disabled individuals is examined; It was determined that they participated in the activity situations in the questions in 3 subcategories for less than 1 hour. It was determined that social media had the highest score in the orientation variables and there was a significantdifference between the school/physical education teacher and social media. In the analysis made on the variables of disability types, it was found that there was a significant difference between hearing and orthopedic wheelchair disabled people in repair and gardening work.As a result, it is thought that more licensed athletes should be trained and their participation in sports competitions should be supported in order to enable physically disabled athletes to participate in sports activities in their daily lives, and that individuals can lead a healthy life by increasing their physical activities.
