Published: March 2023

Statement of the problem: Pediatric patient with history of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was diagnosed with a serious condition called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). It is a post infectious excessive immune response differing from cytokine storm of SARS-CoV-2. MIS-C ranges from mild tosevere form, with multiorgan involvement viz, cardiac, gastrointestinal, renal, neurological, hematological etc.; and laboratory evidence of hyperinflammation. Scrub Typhus (ST), a mite borne rickettsial febrile zoonosis; has been reported in India and worldwide. It is caused by a gram-negative coccobacillus called Orientia tsutsugamushi and transmitted by the bite of chiggers, the infected larva of trombiculid mites (genus Leptotrombidium). ST present as a febrile illness with eschar and rash, but can manifest with a myriad of unusual presentations involving different organ system. Incidence  of different organ involvement with rarity of association between these two conditions grew our interest on this case series.

Methodology and Theoretical orientation: The study was conducted in the Pediatrics department of Malda Medical College and Hospital for a period of 6 months. All the subjects (age < 12 years) with complain of fever was evaluated for all tropical causes and among them the 3 child with

a) Scrub Typhus IgM Ab Positive

b) SARS-CoV-2 RTPCR Negative

c) SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody Positive

d) MIS-C Positive (as per WHO’s definition) was included in the study. The 3 cases was clinically evaluated in details with signs, symptoms , laboratory parameters and treatment given.

Findings: The CASE 1 and CASE 2 came with a neurological presentation on admission where as the CASE 3  presented with gastrointestinal one, fever being common in both. IV steroids, IVIg, Enoxaparin s/c were given to the patients but fever  subsided with introduction of doxycycline after they became seropositive for scrub typhus. After thorough investigation it was found that  both of them were positive for SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody and Scrub Typhus IgM antibodywith features of MIS-C.

Conclusion and Significance: Recently a seroprevalence study also reported a 5% co-infection of Scrub Typhus with seropositive MIS-C. The attribution of the co- infection in the Tsutsugamuschi Triangle with this clinical scenario and febrile presentation mimicking tropical diseases make this condition a circumstantial challenge. Pediatrician should be more vigilant while dealing with the febrile illness for early diagnosis and proper treatment of this condition.
Research-based approaches to the development and assessment of the creative abilities of future international specialists by means of teaching a foreign language
Authors:   MGIMO University, Timchenko Maria V. , Kishko Olga N. ,   MGIMO University
Published: March 2023

Introduction. Updated requirements for specialists in foreign relations in line with currently changing practice of foreign relations call for developing in undergraduates such professionally relevant creative skills as finding creative solutions to professional challenges and introducing innovative approaches in the conservative paradigm. Conventional approaches prevalent in teaching a foreign language cannot reveal the full potential of fostering creative skills in future professionals in foreign relations, thus calling for developing and substantiating new effective tools of comprehensive development of creativity through teaching a foreign language in undergraduates majoring in foreign relations. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted at MGIMO University, in 2017-2021. The total number of participants was 151 undergraduates, School of International Business and Business Administration, and International Institute of Energy Policy and Diplomacy, with 74 participants in the educational experiment. The analysis was based on the data obtained through administration of the psychometric instruments the Rokeach Value Survey, the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, and additional instruments designed on the basis of relevant projective techniques. Results. The analysis of data obtained for the experimental and control groups shows more noticeable changes in the parameters under study in the experimental group. For high developmental level of creativity, 22.16% increased to 51.88% in the experimental group, compared to increase from 13.3% to 14.2% in the control group. For basic developmental level, 36.2% reduced to 15.14% in the experimental group, compared to decrease from 44.78% to 40.8% in the control group (tEXP=6; p<0,05). The findings from the psychometric measurements are consistent with the findings from the projective techniques, where improvement in performance correlates positively with higher scores for the relevant parameters. The analysis additionally looked into the changes in the profile of scores and in separate scores in the experimental group. Discussion and Conclusion. The findings of the study support the expected increase in the parameters under study in the experimental group, and substantiate effectiveness of the set of instruments designed to develop and measure professionally relevant creative skills through teaching a foreign language in undergraduates majoring in foreign relations. The approaches verified in the study were used to develop the authors’ foreign-language course, which offers practical application of the instruments described here. Further research should explore the correlation of higher creativity scores with higher academic performance as well as the quality of knowledge

Published: March 2023

Introduction. Over decades, the profession-oriented foreign language textbook has been in the focus of researchers’ attention. In this regard, we carried out research to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of a previously elaborated concept of the profession-oriented textbook, which was based on the competency approach, taking the example of the author’s textbooks and using procedures of assessment and self-assessment. Materials and methods. Instructors, pre-service teachers and 1st-4th year engineering students of Togliatti State University (the Russian Federation) participated in the testing of pilot versions of English textbooks. For obtaining empirical data, the research adopted methods of interviews and an anonymous Likert scale survey. The data obtained from the procedure of assessment were then processed using analysis of interview recordings and texts of peer-reviews as well as a method of descriptive statistics. A procedure of self-assessment of textbook materials was also carried out to evaluate the realization of the concept of a profession-oriented textbook. Research results. Results of the survey indicate the success of the implementation of the concept of a profession-oriented textbook: 92 % of 56 questionnaires contained only positive responses. At the same time, the survey shows that the content of the textbooks meets students’ expectations (96 %), correlates with the content of their training (98 %) and the level of English proficiency (92 %). 94 % of respondents would like to recommend the textbooks for mastering professional communication. All the instructors and a reviewer also praised the quality of the textbooks. Conclusion. Assessment and self-assessment procedures allowed to effectively evaluate the quality of the textbooks, to receive students’ feedback and to identify ways of improving textbooks for engineering universities. The findings can be used in the development and evaluation of foreign language textbooks for other non-language majors.

Introduction. The study of individual factors affecting the effectiveness of learning in the middle of virtual reality is especially relevant in connection with the growing volume of the introduction of virtual simulators in the field of vocational education. The purpose of this study is to study the role of the cognitive-personal characteristics of students in the success of the educational task for visual and manous coordination among virtual reality. Materials and methods. The educational task in the environment of virtual reality was modeled according to the scenario of the game, in which the subject can shoot from virtual onions on moving targets, gaining points and levels depending on the accuracy and complexity of the actions performed. The success of the execution was evaluated by two indicators: the accuracy of the hits and the maximum level of complexity of the situations of the task. With the help of survey methods, 40 students of pedagogical undergraduate were evaluated by the level of spatial thinking, field dependence/field dependence, extraversion, goodwill, consciousness, neurotism, openness of experience, subjectively perceived cognitive load (internal, extraneous and relevant). Research results. The results have shown that the accuracy of the task is moderately positively related to the level of spatial thinking (r=0.37*) and relevant cognitive load (r=0.41*) and negatively with the internal cognitive load (r=–0.42*). In turn, the complexity of the task performed is moderately negatively connected with an extraneous cognitive load (r=–0.33*) and positively with relevant (r=0.32*). At the same time, the greatest contribution to the success of the task is made by an extraneous cognitive load (β=0.72 for accuracy and β=0.48 for complexity). The resulting model describes 49% of the accuracy dispersion and 39% of the dispersions of the complexity of the educational task. It also turned out that personality traits and cognitive style in terms of the parameters of field dependence/field dependence are not associated with the accuracy and complexity of the performance of the specified type of educational task in the VR environment. Conclusions. Data on a significant role of spatial cognitive load is presented useful not only as orientation for further psychological and pedagogical research, but also for the development of practical recommendations to the developers of educational design of virtual simulators for vocational education, as well as specialists in the field of differential pedagogy

Indonesia is a country that has the largest number of Islamic universities in the world. Currently, there are fifty-eight state Islamic universities under the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, and thousands of Islamic universities under community (private) management. The presence of Islamic tertiary institutions in various forms and types has encouraged the birth of vertical and horizontal mobility of santri and rural communities to subsequently appear as a new middle class and social elite capable of occupying various strategic positions in government, private sector, and others. Through the role of Islamic university graduates, there has been a transformation of Islamic teachings in all aspects of life: social, economic, political, cultural, artistic, and so on. With this transformation, Islamic tertiary institutions have made a huge contribution to the realization of justice and prosperity, not only for Muslims themselves but for all Indonesian people and the world in general.

Authors: PETER PAULA MARIE G. , PLACIDO DENNIS M.
Published: March 2023

Transformational leadership shows a strong influence and impact on the relationship with crisis management. Technological innovation is an iterative procedure started by the impression of a new market and/or new service opportunity for a technology-based invention. This study focuses on the effects of a transformational leadership style and technological innovation on crisis management; This hopes to bridge the gap in its application to local government units. The study aimed to examine the effects of a transformational leadership style and technological innovation on crisis management of the different Local Government Units (LGUs) in the Province of La Union. The key informant interviews were delivered among thirty-three (33) respondents, twenty (20) mayors or municipal heads and thirteen (13) board members.   With this purpose, the mixed method was employed by combining qualitative and quantitative data gathering procedures using De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats. The findings revealed: (1) the negative effects of being a transformational leader who is technologically innovated in crisis management, (2) the disadvantages of using technology in crisis management, and (3) some of the technological challenges during crisis management. It implies that local government officials need to significantly improve these, especially in the context of transformational leadership style and technological innovation in crisis management. Hence the researcher develops recommendations.

Acts of Belonging: Second Generation Youth in South Tyrol, Italy
Authors: Mitterhofer Johanna
Published: March 2023

This article studies citizenship beyond its manifestation as a formal legal status, by exploring citizenship as a process shaped by people’s everyday practices and experiences of belonging. Through investigating the daily struggles over belonging and membership of young people with migrant background in the autonomous province of South Tyrol in Northern Italy, this study pays particular attention to the ways in which belonging on the macro scale (the nation, the state) and the micro scale (the village, the city, the region) clash, intersect and interact with each other. By highlighting practices of belonging at the margins of a state by actors considered to be at the margins of the state, this article contributes to scholarly debates that “decentre” citizenship by studying it at, from and for the margins.
Migrant and Satisfied? The Ethnic Gap in Job Satisfaction in the Italian Labor Market
Authors: Piccitto Giorgio , Avola Maurizio
Published: March 2023

Job satisfaction is a desirable outcome both at the organizational and at the individual level. Anyway, little is known about the gap between natives’ and migrants’ job satisfaction, which represents a critical issue in the light of the increasing presence of foreigner workers in the Western labor markets. In order to shed light on this issue, we estimate a number of OLS models to quantify sex-specific natives’ and migrants’ job satisfaction, by exploiting a particularly detailed Italian source of data (the Survey of Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens). We find that being a migrant is not associated per se with any premium or penalty in job satisfaction. When we control for the different socio-demographic features and job characteristics of natives and migrants, it turns out that migrants are more satisfied than natives. Hence, it emerges in Italy a job satisfaction paradox based on the worker’s migratory status.
A Crisis Within a Crisis: Working and Living Conditions of Syrian and Palestinian Refugees during the COVID-19 in Jordan
Authors: Acu Cevdet
Published: March 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has evolved into one of the most impactful crises of modern time, and most countries have implemented preventive measures such as nationwide lockdowns, closing certain businesses, and quarantine to prevent the spread of the virus. This study explores how the COVID-19 crisis and its preventive measures impact refugees’ welfare in the context of a developing country. The research is based on forty semi-structured interviews with Syrian and Palestinian refugees in Jordan. Research findings indicate that refugees are primarily employed in low-skilled jobs because of legal restrictions, which do not provide decent working conditions and socioeconomic security. Refugees are also mostly housed in high-density settlements with limited access to healthcare, sanitation, hygiene, and water (WASH) facilities. The research findings show that refugees are particularly at risk during the global health crisis due to precarious working and living conditions. This study concludes by providing recommendations on how to respond to future pandemic crises within refugee contexts based on lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic.
An Unnoted Effect of a Social Welfare Transfers Program on Unskilled Migration
Authors: Byra Łukasz
Published: March 2023

We consider a link between a country’s social welfare transfers program, SWTP, and the attractiveness of migration to the country by unskilled workers. The existing literature maintains that a SWTP attracts unskilled migrants, and explicitly or implicitly that excluding unskilled migrants from the SWTP neutralizes the effect of the program on unskilled migration. We reason differently. Even when unskilled migrants are excluded from SWTP, for example because they are undocumented, the program still affects the said attractiveness, and it does so negatively. The explanation for that is that the program encourages native workers to choose unskilled work: for example, the program provides a cushion against unemployment, which otherwise could be guarded against by skill upgrading. The consequent increased supply of native unskilled workers translates into a lower wage for unskilled work. As a result, the lure of unskilled migration is dimmed. In sum then: in the presence of a SWTP there will be less unskilled migration than in the absence of an SWTP, even when unskilled migrants are excluded from the program. We conclude that the optimal SWTP involves less income redistribution when the relationship between the SWTP and unskilled migration is taken into account than when it is not.
Return Migrants and Economic Re-integration in Rural West Bengal, India
Authors: Banerjee Pranamita , Das Bhaswati
Published: March 2023

Return migration is relatively understudied. Return migrants are “the persons who are returning to their country of citizenship after having been international migrants in another country (both long-term and short-term migration) and who are intended to stay in their own country at least for a period of one year” (UNSD, 1998). We aim to understand how return migrants from different socio-economic backgrounds re-integrate into the economy of their society of origin. The study is based on a survey carried out in West Bengal, India. A drastic change has been noticed in the economic activities of the return migrants. At the destination, about 6 percent of the migrants used to work as causal labourers, which reduced to 2 percent after the return. Similarly, a rise ie self-employment was clearly visible among the return migrants. Re-integration after their return was a major challenge for these returnees. Less than 3 percent of returnees could use the skills gained abroad. It was evident that the standard of living among the return migrants was higher when they were working at the destination compared to the present situation at their place of origin, even when they are doing the same job.
International Migration and Integration: Turkish Immigrants in Poland
Authors: Karaköse Gizem , Göktuna Yaylacı Filiz
Published: March 2023

This paper focuses on Turkish immigrants' social and system integration processes in Poland along the parameters such as identity, host society policies, communication with the host society, and ethnicity. The research was planned according to the qualitative methodology based on interviews and participant observation in Warsaw, Gdansk, Bydgoszcz, Torun, Poznan and Wroclaw between October 2020 and August 2021. According to the obtained data during the research process, Turkish immigrants in Poland enjoy social and system integration. On the one hand, the identity perceptions of Turkish immigrants in Poland have affected communication, which has an important role as well as in the social and system integration process. But on the other hand, while Turkish immigrants are loyal to their ethnic identity, they have moved away from the perception of ethnicity. Turkish immigrants spend more of their free time with the host society members, use the host society's language in daily life, and find a place for themselves in social spaces.
Factors Influencing Attitudes of Refugee-Host Population: New Evidence from Thailand
Authors: Pechdin Watchara , Ahmad Mokbul Morshed
Published: March 2023

The attitudes of refugee-hosting populations towards conflict-induced refugees are an important factor to consider when attempting to create an accepting and welcoming environment for refugees. Previous studies on this topic have primarily been conducted in the Global North context, leaving a gap in research in the Global South, especially in Southeast Asia. This study bridges this gap by examining the factors influencing the attitudes of a refugee-hosting population in Chiang Mai province, Thailand toward refugees from Myanmar. Results by a logit model identified the significant factors determining attitudes as age, ethnicity, income, occupation, and total years of contact with the refugees. Even without legal recognition from the government, these factors continue to play a crucial role in shaping Thai local attitudes, particularly in rregard to government policies on refugee management, life security/safety, and employment opportunities. When formulating refugee integration plans, these influences must be taken into account.
‘Granted’ and ‘Claimed’ Spaces of Participation: The Political Activism of Young Immigrant Descendants
Authors: Riniolo Veronica
Published: March 2023

This article – drawing on data collected during 39 semi-structured interviews with young immigrant descendant activists and other institutional and non-institutional stakeholders between 2017 and 2019 – aims to explore the spaces in which young immigrant descendants in Italy voice their concerns, ideas, and claims. Youth activism is conceptualised in terms of ‘granted’ and ‘claimed’ spaces of participation which enables the multiple manifestations of their activism and their relationships with other stakeholders to be captured. The analysis shows that processes of mobilisation from below (‘claimed’ spaces) strongly integrate with processes of top-down activation (‘granted’ spaces). These spaces are experienced by young immigrant descendants’ activists not as alternative ways of participation but as a pragmatic strategy to reach their objectives, both independently and through cooperation with different institutional and civil society stakeholders. Moreover, young immigrant descendant activists do not engage as ‘children of immigrants’: they express their claims first as young people and their activism is not restricted by their migrant origins, especially in those places – ‘claimed' spaces – created and shaped by themselves.
The Perceptions of Migration During the Pandemic: What Twitter Data Tell Us?
Authors: Miccoli Sara , Ambrosetti Elena
Published: March 2023

This paper aims to analyse sentiments and emotions about migration in Italy using Twitter, by comparing the period of COVID-19 pandemic with the previous year. We take Italy as a case study because it has been severely affected by the COVID-19, it is one of the largest recipients of immigrants in Europe and, is among the few countries that implemented an amnesty for irregular migrant workers during the pandemic. We apply a text mining and sentiment analysis to the tweets with hashtags and keywords related to the migration and to the COVID-19 pandemic. Results show that tweets related to migration express a sense of emergency and also invasion. No major changes occurred in the period of the pandemic in comparison with the previous period. Indeed, both negative and positive sentiments are present in the tweets in both periods, confirming a certain polarization in the public discourse about migration.
Rethinking Privilege: U.S. Americans in Cold War Costa Rica
Authors: Shragai Atalia
Published: March 2023

Drawing on an historical perspective and a migration studies conceptualization, this article seeks to rethink the concept of privilege and lifestyle migration as it refers to patterns of U.S. immigration to Costa Rica from the end of WWII and up until the late 1970s, several decades before the concept of privilege migration became a buzz word in migration studies, and before Costa Rica itself became a prime destination for privilege migrants. Based on oral histories gathered by the author in 2009 from tens of U.S. American men and women who moved to the country between 1950 and 1980, the article reconsiders the often-automatic link between economic wealth and privilege among immigrants and identifies non-economic manifestations of privilege.
Special Dossier: Everyday practices of citizenship and identity among migrant descendants in Italy
Authors: Toivanen Mari , Riniolo Veronica , Mezzetti Giulia
Published: March 2023

This introductory piece makes the case for the need to advance our knowledge about migrant descendants’ lived experiences and practices of citizenship through the example offered by Italy. Debates around citizenship, migrant descendants’ identities and mobilisations have gained centre stage in the country in a period marked by increasing polarisation and racist discourses similar to those at the European level. The effects of these broader developments on the inclusion of migrant descendants require a closer examination of their political agency, which this special issue addresses through a collection of ethnographic studies regarding their identity narratives, everyday practices and acts of citizenship.

Published: March 2023

Motivation is one of the essential parts of the learning process. Motivation can be interpreted as the students’ desire to learn something because the higher motivation, the better students will be. The purpose of this study is to explore the level of student motivation toward the use of Google classroom in learning English during the Covid-19 pandemic at SMA N 1 Sukoharjo in the academic year 2020/2021. This study also finds out the dominant type, whether intrinsic or extrinsic motivation. This study uses descriptive qualitative, and the technique uses for collecting the data are questionnaires and interviews. The data were presented by using percentage, frequency, mean score, and standard deviation (S.D). The finding of this study showed that the mean score of intrinsic motivation (3.60) was higher than extrinsic motivation (3.43). The mean score of overall motivation is 3.51 was considered a moderate level of motivation. However, the majority of students learn English best because of their intrinsic motivation. Students are interested in learning English and love to take English classes. Students can do the assignments given by the teacher and want to master the English material taught by the teacher. To master English, students have to study hard and practice it in their daily life. So, teachers must be able to provide various teaching strategies to cope with both intrinsically motivated students and extrinsically motivated ones.
