The Role of Social Support on EFL Learners’ Motivation at Iraqi Kurdistan Universities in Three Provinces
Authors:   Department of General Education/ELT, Cihan University-Erbil, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, Rasheed Rozhvin Adnan
Published: July 2023

The attitudes of Arabic-speaking countries to English have shifted significantly over the past ten years, with more emphasis on learners and learning than on teachers and teaching. The general conclusion of the literature is that a deeper understanding of language learners' motivation can have a beneficial effect on the Kurdistan language learning process. English Language Learning in Iraqi Kurdistan, which began as Kurdistan opened up rapidly to the outside world and experienced significant economic growth, is regarded as compulsory learning. The current study aimed to identify Kurdish students' motivation level and examine the effect of social support on the motivation of EFL students in three public universities in Iraqi Kurdistan Universities. Three instruments were employed to measure L2 motivation level and social support. The researcher collected the data through an online survey technique from 363 first-year Kurdish university students. Data were analysed using descriptive and simple regressions. The descriptive statistics showed that Kurdish first-year students have a high level of integrative and instrumental motivation. The study revealed that Kurdish students experienced a moderate level of social support from family, peers, and teachers. Theoretically, the findings may shed light on the role of social support and in predicting undergraduates' motivation to learn English. From a practical perspective, the results may raise awareness of parents, teachers, and peers to enhance undergraduate students' motivation to learn English.
Feminizing Decentralized Renewable Energy Programs: A Study of a Community Renewable Energy Project from India
Authors: Chakrabarty Aritra
Published: July 2023

The increasing impact of global forces on local communities in the 21st century has necessitated a shift in focus from macro narratives to the micro-politics of planning. One of the critical areas of such micro-politics is energy policy-making in the Global South. It is argued that a bottom-up approach to energy intervention would increase the control and access of the end consumer to the sites of production, shift away from colonial energy production systems, and create more avenues for equitable community development. Within this context, this study critically evaluates a community-based renewable energy project from a feminist perspective. The study is based on data provided by Barefoot College International (BCI), which is one of the leading non-governmental organizations working towards fulfilling SDG goals. The study has used a document analysis approach to produce rich documentation of the community energy program under study. Findings from the study indicate that the current approach to gender inclusion within energy transition lacks a focus on the interlocked subordinations that exist within a community, and the lack of intersectionality in its model design could potentially reinforce the existing inequalities in the form of gendered resource access, livelihoods, and labor work. The study calls for further research on evaluating decentralized renewable energy programs to examine whether the way the energy transition to a low-carbon intensive future will produce equitable outcomes across genders.

Learning mathematics requires students to always be active in the learning process because mathematics is a field of science that prioritizes high intellectual quality and not just knowledge that is informative and theoretical. One of the intellectual qualities can be seen from the ability to think critically and is one of the needs of students in learning mathematics. But the fact is that currently, learning is still dominated by the lecture method and rarely facilitates students to develop their critical thinking skills. Appropriate teaching and learning strategies approaches, and models are needed to train mathematical abilities. Therefore, teachers are expected to be able to determine the right strategy so that learning objectives are more optimal. In this study, researchers analyzed how the results after applying inquiry learning strategies and Lesson Study activities affected students' critical thinking skills.

În procedura de cameră preliminară, judecătorii de cameră preliminară, soluționând contestațiile declarate, au apreciat că nu se impune excluderea declarațiilor date de martori, deoarece: nu pot fi luate în considerare susținerile martorilor audiați în procedura de cameră preliminară privind amenințările la care au fost supuși de procuror și de organul de urmărire penală; nu au fost formulate plângeri sau reclamații de către martorii care pretind că au fost amenințați; martorii au fost încurajați să spună adevărul în cauză. Este de menționat că judecătorii de cameră preliminară au făcut și o analiză a credibilității și fiabilității declarației martorului cu privire la aspectele care țin de fondul cauzei.
Această decizie este eronată și criticabilă, deoarece judecătorii de cameră preliminară au înlăturat declarațiile martorilor din cameră preliminară fără nicio motivare, au făcut o confuzie nepermisă între sancțiunile de drept procesual penal și cele de drept penal substanțial, au validat utilizarea metodelor neloiale în situațiile în care organul judiciar urmărește aflarea adevărului și au procedat la analiza credibilității declarațiilor pe fondul cauzei.

Homage to Henri Dutilleux
Authors:   Sports High School, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Email: alma.alexandra.marinescu@gmail.com., Marinescu Alexandra
Published: July 2023

"Henri Dutilleux was one of the prominent figures of European composition, especially in the second half of the 20th century. A complex personality, he worked throughout his career as a musician in various roles, from pianist, to accompanist, to conductor, to pedagogue, to composer, being one of the main promoters of French culture and beyond. He received numerous awards and recognitions for his entire activity, his reputation not only surpassing the borders of the country, but also the European ones. Although he began composing at a very young age, Dutilleux repeatedly omits to include these works in his catalogue, refusing even to mention them in the section of his interpreted works. Meticulous and extremely pedantic, he always made changes to his works, constantly crystallizing his style both throughout the varied musical experiences in which the musician took part and through the close collaborations he had with instrumental artists whom he consulted regarding timbral possibilities and techniques of the instruments he was writing for. His compositions, although not very numerous, encompass a genuistically vast variety, and an exhaustive stylistic approach. Although he always embraces new compositional techniques, Dutilleux never reaches a rational extremism, keeping in the foreground the idea of meaningful music, and not the other way around. He died on 22nd of May 2013, in Paris, at the age of 97. Keywords: Henri Dutilleux, French composer, 20th century"
The Question of the Musical Message. The Semantic Capacity of the Expressive Structure
Authors:   ", Garaz Oleg ,   Gheorghe Dima",   National Academy of Music, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Email: oleg.garaz@gmail.com.
Published: July 2023

"Is it possible to communicate through music? Does music communicate something in particular? Is music like the message in a bottle – the meaning wrapped in the envelope of a form? Who would be the recipient of the musical message in this case – one, many, all of humanity, as in the IV parts of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony? Or maybe just Captain Grant’s children? And how pertinent is the extrapolation of notional-discursive schema and logic to music as Mattheson did in Der Vollkommene Kapellmeister? Because this phrase – the message of music – immediately refers to both the suggestive neutrality of musical sounds and the emotional irrelevance of the relationships between them. Sounds are just sounds. Is a chord the analogy of the word, the melody the analogy of the phrase, and a whole articulation the substitute of a speech? Is music a language? Or, indeed, being both sonorous, but also processual and symbolic, just like spoken language, music does not connote in the same way. And if the language has prescribed references, then music does not. A chord, a melody, let alone a counterpoint, have no predetermined meaning, not even one resembling a notional one, even after the performance is over. Should the composer first be a very good connoisseur of human emotional behavior rather than a very good musician? Or, perhaps, a simple postman, as in the famous song of the Beatles? Keywords: message, communication, language, connotation, symbol, process, music"

"Present both in the melodies recorded by Dimitrie Cunțanu and in the melodies that we find in the oral tradition, modal constructions represent melodic molds for defining the central Transylvanian musical style. The correct framing of a melodic line is achieved by means of the scale, the cadential system and the melodic formulae. The ecclesiastical musical style according to Cunțanu, which was derived s from the Byzantine musical tradition, has become an individual style among ecclesiastical musical styles by uniquely assimilating various musical elements from folklore, music of the related cults, cultic music, and entertainment music. The resulting modal patterns have created a church style specific to the intra-Carpathian area, which has ossified into an autochthonous musical tradition. Indexing the modal constructions gives us an overview of the internal structures that underlie and individualize each mode. Keywords: melodic formulas, Dimitrie Cunțanu, default typology"

The South African Government, through the Department of Transport (DoT), offers financial support to various engineering companies to use in their road construction projects to improve the country’s road infrastructure. However, many road projects allocated to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are not completed on schedule. Communication plan was used as a lens to track essential elements involved in ensuring project success. A probability stratified random sampling method was used to select 34 respondents from the DOT who completed questionnaires as part of this quantitative study. Employees of the DoT’s Finance department in KwaZulu-Natal province were chosen because they were well placed to highlight the communication plan followed and challenges experienced in handling financial contracts and monitoring of such between themselves and the SMEs. On the one hand, the respondents generally claimed to have sound measures to monitor the progress of funded projects and apply appropriate techniques to cope with awarded contracts. On the other hand, they conceded that poor planning and poor communication management were the main challenges facing the department. The study calls for regular, open communication to enhance the success of projects which should be monitored in every phase following clear performance indicators. If problems are identified, a communication strategy to resolve them should be established; this strategy should be evaluated against its objectives.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo apresentar pautas e diagnósticos sociais relatados por adolescentes e discutir sua interface com as Diretrizes Nacionais de Atenção Integral à Saúde de Adolescentes e Jovens na Promoção, Proteção e Recuperação da Saúde. Trata-se de um estudo documental, teórico e de natureza reflexiva, realizado a partir da análise de 39 curtas metragens disponíveis no site de um projeto intitulado “É Nóis na Fita” e posteriormente relacionados com o documento orientador de atenção à saúde de adolescentes no Brasil. Durante a análise emergiram quatro categorias temáticas: “Relações familiares e influências ao adolescer”; “Minorias e iniquidades”; “Relações sociais, identidades e projetos”; e “Fatores que vulnerabilizam a juventude”. Dessa forma, concluiu-se que há consonância entre as pautas e os eixos estruturantes do documento orientador, exceto nas questões relativas às relações familiares, com indicativas de ampliação de sua consideração. Logo, os curtas foram potentes para voz e revelações juvenis.

Women and Religion: "Mennonite Hmong"
Authors: Abergel Daphne
Published: July 2023

The Hmong of Laos, a traditionally animist and preliterate people, speak a Sino-Tibetan language and are culturally close to the Chinese. Due to their strategic location and scouting and fighting skills, the Hmong were singled out during the war in Indochina to collaborate with the CIA as front line guerrillas. The eventual assumption of power in 1975 in Laos of communist- backed Pathet Lao forces, resulted in increasing hardships and danger for those Hmong who had complied with the U.S. Army Special Forces. By 1980, more than 110,000 Hmong were forced to flee Thailand. Most Hmong from Thai refugee camps resettled in the U.S., France, Australia and Canada. The Mennonite Central Committee's (MCC) policy to aid sponsor cases like the preliterate and non- industrial Hmong resulted in a proportionately high influx of Hmong to Ontario; hence Kitchener-Waterloo (K-W) has been dubbed the "Hmong Capital" of Canada by immigration officials.
