Published: August 2024

The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a phytophagous insect that is difficult to control and can cause great damage to several crops of economic importance, as it can use more than 600 botanical species as hosts. This study aimed to evaluate the insecticidal and deterrent effect of andiroba (Carapa guianensis Aubl., Meliaceae) fixed oil on B. tabaci biotype B in kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala). The andiroba oil samples, Manaus and Silves were diluted in acetone P.A. at concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%, and compared with the commercial insecticide Evidence® 700WG (imidacloprid). For the deterrence test, the concentrations were applied on healthy seedlings and placed in a cage with adult insects. Then the oviposition of whiteflies on the leaves was counted. For the mortality test, applications were performed on seedlings with leaves infested with B. tabaci nymphs to evaluate the nymphicidal effect. Analysis of variance was performed using the F test, and comparison of means using the Tukey test (p<0.05), using the statistical program R®. Concentrations of 1% and 1.5% reached a deterrent effect of 82.13% and 88.55%, respectively. All concentrations caused mortality greater than 60%. These results attest to the potential of andiroba oil as an alternative control for the whitefly.

Authors: Kitano Magda
Published: August 2024

Toki Pona is a minimalist constructed language consisting of only 14 phonemes and 137 words. Registered as ISO 639-3 code “tok” in 2022, it is used by thousands of language enthusiasts around the globe, especially through social networking platforms. After a brief overview of the Toki Pona language, this paper discusses the possible merits of learning Toki Pona to English learners in Japan. As an exploratory study, Toki Pona is taught to students at a Japanese university by way of an informal club. A teaching log, conversations with students, and a student questionnaire indicate that learning Toki Pona may positively impact awareness of part of speech and communication skills. In addition, several of the participating students were also training for their teaching licenses, and reported that the experience was beneficial to their growth as teachers. Considering the low burden required to acquire the language, it is concluded that Toki Pona warrants more formal investigation into its benefits for language learners.

トキポナは、わずか14音素と137単語からなるミニマリズムに則った人工言語である。2022年にISO 639-3コード“tok”として登録され、主にSNSを通じて、世界中の何千人もの言語愛好家に使用されている。本稿では、トキポナの概要を簡単に説明した後、トキポナを日本の英語学習者に教える利点を把握するために、日本の大学で非公式な学習サークルを通じて、学生にトキポナを紹介した経緯について述べる。教師の指導日誌や学生のアンケートから、トキポナを学ぶことで、品詞に対する意識の向上とコミュニケーション・スキルの促進が期待できることが示された。また、教員志望の参加者は、言語教育への異なるアプローチの仕方を体験できたことを高く評価している。言語習得の負担が少ないことを考慮すると、トキポナは言語学習者にとって有益であり、今後さらなる調査が必要であると結論づけられた。
Think Globally, Act Locally: Helping Afghan Refugees in Japan
Authors: Sonda Nozomu
Published: August 2024

In August 2021, the Taliban took over the government of Afghanistan. Consequently, the previous governmental employees were dismissed from their jobs, those who had studied abroad or worked for international organizations were persecuted, and women were prohibited from working and from going outside their house unless accompanied by male companions. Three of those who had previously studied in Japan evacuated to Japan through the help of their Japanese contacts. This effort led to several exciting developments. First, many people offered to assist the refugees once they arrived in Japan. Then, it raised awareness among the Japanese volunteers about global issues, especially Afghanistan. Ultimately, it enhanced intercultural communication skills among all participants. In this article, the author will share the stories of these Afghan families, the insights and lessons learned by their supporters, and the implications for global education and English learning.
2021年8月、タリバンがアフガニスタン政府を掌握した。その結果、それまでの政府職員は解雇され、留学経験者や国際機関で働いていた者は迫害され、女性は男性の同伴がない限り就労も外出も禁止された。日本にかつて留学していた3人のアフガン人は、日本人の知人や日本の団体を頼って日本に避難した。この努力は、いくつかの画期的な展開をもたらした。第一に、避難民が日本に到着すると、多くの人々が支援を申し出た。第二に、国際的な問題、特にアフガニスタンに対する日本人ボランティアの意識が高まった。第三に、参加者全員の異文化コミュニケーション能力が高まったことである。本稿では、アフガニスタン人家族のストーリー、彼らの支援者が得た洞察と教訓、そしてグローバル教育と英語学習への示唆を紹介する。
Exploring Privilege in a Human Rights-Based EFL Course in Japan
Authors: Kambara Judith
Published: August 2024

Understanding privilege is important for understanding social justice. In a 2019 required four-skills EFL course for second-year Japanese university students centered on studying human rights from a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach, students’ presentations indicated superficial understanding about causes of human rights violations. To provide context, one lesson about privilege and the power held by privileged groups was added the following year. Several types of privilege were discussed. Analysis of end-of-course research papers indicated that students developed awareness of privilege and its contribution to human rights violations. After providing background to the original course, I explain how the topic of privilege was approached. Analysis of students’ research papers is provided to demonstrate how adding one lesson about privilege appears to have led to a growth mindset enabling students to increase their understanding about causes of human rights violations.
特権を理解することは、社会正義を理解するために重要である。2019年に、日本の大学2年生を対象に、人権をテーマとしたCLIL(内容言語統合型学習)アプローチによる必修4技能EFL科目を実施したが、人権侵害の原因について表面的な理解しか見られないプレゼンテーションが目立った。そこで翌年、人権侵害のより深い文脈を提供するために、特権と特権を有するグループが行使する権力についての授業を一つ追加し、特権のさまざまな種類について議論した。コース終了時の研究レポートの分析から、学生が、特権に対する意識と、特権が関与する人権侵害への認識を育んだことが示された。本稿では、元のコースの背景を説明した後、特権というトピックにどのようにアプローチしたかを説明し、学生の研究レポートを分析することによって、特権についての授業を一つ加えることが人権侵害の原因についての学生の理解を深める成長的マインドセットに繋がったことを提示する。
Connecting Learners to Literature through Critical Thinking and Creativity
Authors: Hillis Mary
Published: August 2024

Literature is a powerful yet underutilised tool in EFL learning (Ristoska et al., 2021), and although some may view traditional literary forms as inaccessible for language learners, literature and its teaching has been undergoing a transformation. The focus of this paper will be on how teachers in Japan have used literature as a foundation for linguistic, cultural, and emotional growth and development. Literature can be multimodal, as seen in picturebooks and on social media, and additionally stories can be directly related to areas students are struggling with, as seen in literature related to gender and social issues. Literary texts can be used in EFL settings across age groups, including young learners and university students, developing language skills through creative activities.
文学はEFL学習において、強力でありながらも十分には活用されていないツールである（Ristoska et al, 2021）。伝統的な文学形式は、言語学習者にとってアクセスしづらいと捉えられるかもしれないが、文学と文学研究は変革を遂げている。 本稿では、日本の教師が文学を言語的、文化的、情緒的な成長と発達の基盤としてどのように活用してきたかに焦点化する。絵本やソーシャルメディアに見られるように、文学はマルチモーダルであることができ、さらにジェンダーや社会問題に関連した文学に見られるように、物語は生徒が困難を感じている分野に直接関連することもある。文学的なテキストは、創造的な活動を通して言語能力を発達させることができるため、若年の学習者から大学生を含む幅広い年齢層のおけるEFLの場で活用することができるだろう。

Enhancing Student Feedback for Eiken Interviews through a Criterion-Referenced Framework
Authors: Saito Tim
Published: August 2024

This paper reports on the development of a criterion-referenced framework (CRF) designed to provide feedback to Japanese students preparing for the Eiken second-stage speaking test. Drawing from the works of Griffin (2018) and Hattie and Timperley (2007), it documents the first stage of an action research project aimed at prototyping a CRF to provide clear feedback to students. The CRF is proposed to provide advice to students constructing narratives from image sequences. The tool integrates the Eiken Foundation’s can-do list (Eiken Foundation of Japan, 2008) and the High School Foreign Language Goals for the English Communication Curriculum (MEXT, 2018), outlining essential skills for each proficiency level. This approach aims to develop an effective alternative to extemporaneous speaking test preparation. The CRF illustrates a method for providing formative, structured feedback for Eiken speaking test preparation. This research has implications for ESL/EFL educators advising students preparing for speaking tests.

SOCIAL FACTORS AFFECTING STYLE VARIATION
Authors:   University of Babylon, College of Education for Humanities, Department of English Language, Iraq, Abbas Dhuha Fadhil
Published: August 2024

This research delves into how gender, age, ethnicity, social network, socioeconomic status, and other social factors impact language choices regarding style. This is called style variation, when people's speech patterns, dialects, and registers change based on social circumstances. Vocabulary is a powerful tool for self-expression and group identification, and this analysis shows how people change their vocabulary to fit in or stand out from their social circles. How prevailing social standards impact linguistic prestige and stigmatization is one area that the article delves into, as does the impact of power dynamics and social stratification on language patterns more generally. The study shows how language is a social identity marker that reflects larger social structures and interactions through case studies and sociolinguistic research. The results indicate that differences in style are not static but depend on the surrounding environment. They are an integral part of society and lighten the relationship between language, culture, and personal identity.

Published: August 2024

Designing visual symbols is crucial in the ever-changing world of digital culture for communication, identity building, and cultural expression. With an eye toward the aesthetic, functional, and semiotic aspects, this article delves into the methods and principles of making effective visual symbols in digital settings. The study delves into a wide array of digital symbols, including emojis, logos, icons for user interfaces, and digital art, to uncover how these visual components communicate meaning, impact user behavior, and aid in forming online identities and communities. Recognizing digital spaces' multicultural and global character, the research highlights the significance of cultural sensitivity and contextual knowledge throughout the design phase. Additionally, it delves into how technological innovations, including augmented reality and vector graphics, have influenced the development of visual symbols. The adaptability of symbols in response to user interactions and cultural trends may be shown in case studies from various digital platforms and social media networks. The results stress the importance of designers balancing originality and clarity in creating visually appealing and universally understandable symbols. At the end of the paper, we suggest ways to make symbols that may change with digital culture and appeal to different audiences by using iterative design processes and user feedback.

Authors: Eldamaty Hanan
Published: August 2024

This study aims to determine the mediating impact of green behavior on the relationship between strategic involvement and green human resource management (green HRM) at Vodafone Egypt. Strategic involvement with its four dimensions is the independent variable, green HRM with its five dimensions is the dependent variable, and unidimensional green behavior is the mediator variable. To achieve this aim, four main hypotheses were formulated for the study. Data were collected through a survey questionnaire distributed to a random sample of 400 individuals representing different managerial levels. A total of 360 valid responses from individuals were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS. This study finds that there is a significant impact of green behavior on the dimensions of strategic involvement (facilitating adaptability and the implementation of the chosen strategy). It also finds that there is a significant impact of green HRM dimensions (green training, green-performance evaluation, green wages and incentives, and green integration) on green behavior. This study recommends focusing on green (electronic) recruitment and hiring processes, measuring green attitudes during selection, and incorporating environmentally-friendly criteria into job descriptions.
Efficacy of radical reactions of isocyanides with heteroatom radicals in organic synthesis
Authors: Ogawa Akiya , Yamamoto Yuki
Published: August 2024

Isocyanide is a promising synthetic reagent not only as a one-carbon homologation reagent but also as a nitrogen source for nitrogen-containing molecules. Because of their isoelectronic structure with carbon monoxide, isocyanides also react with nucleophiles, electrophiles, carbon radicals, and transition metal reagents, and are widely used in organic synthesis. On the other hand, the use of isocyanides in reactions with heteroatom radicals is limited. However, the reaction of isocyanides with heteroatom radicals is a promising synthetic tool for the construction of nitrogen-containing organic molecules modified with a variety of heteroatoms. In this Perspective, we review the addition and cyclization reactions of heteroatom radicals with isocyanides and discuss the synthetic prospects of the reaction of isocyanides with heteroatom radicals.

Gender Justice in Saudi Arabia: Sociotechnical Institutions' Approach to Addressing Domestic Violence Against Women and Men
Authors: Noor Layla Abdullah
Published: August 2024

The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of a sociotechnical institutional approach in overcoming domestic violence against women and men in Saudi Arabia with a focus on achieving gender justice. This research uses an extensive literature review method by examining scientific literature, official documents, and reports from various sources to gain an in-depth understanding of this problem. This analysis involves a synthesis of literature findings to understand the dynamics of domestic violence and the effectiveness of sociotechnical strategies in promoting gender justice in Saudi Arabia. The research results show that domestic violence is a global phenomenon that is understood and handled with different approaches from Islamic, Feminist and Western perspectives. The Islamic perspective emphasizes the values of justice, respect and reconciliation in marital relations, as well as fighting for women's rights and opposing violence within the framework of religious teachings. Feminist approaches, particularly in Western contexts, highlight gender-based power dynamics and urge to address inequality as a root cause of domestic violence. In addition, the family violence perspective and ecological violence theory offer a broader view of this issue. In Saudi Arabia, the role of sociotechnical institutions is very important in overcoming the problem of domestic violence. A multidisciplinary approach that includes technology, legal reform, education, and community support contributes to creating a safer and more supportive environment for women. This research concludes that a sociotechnical institutional approach can be an effective strategy in achieving gender justice and reducing domestic violence in Saudi Arabia.

Perilaku konsumtif dapat diminimalisir dengan kebiasaan menabung. Menabung merupakan kegiatan menyisihkan sebagian uang yang dimiliki untuk ditabung. Menabung dapat membentuk pola pikir bijak mengenai keuangan. Bagi sebagian masyarakat, menabung masih dianggap sulit karena rendahnya tingkat literasi keuangan, tidak memiliki tabungan produktif, dan tidak diajarkan untuk menabung. Hal ini sejalan dengan kondisi yang dialami mitra pengabdian yaitu siswa SDN 005 Desa Sukaraja Kecamatan Sepaku. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk memberikan pemahaman dan pengetahuan tentang menabung sejak dini. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan melalui metode ceramah interaktif atau gabungan antara ceramah, tanya jawab, dan diskusi. Hasil dari kegiatan ini membuat siswa SDN 005 Desa Sukaraja Kecamatan Sepaku lebih memahami konsep menabung dan manfaat yang diperoleh dari kegiatan menabung. Selain itu, para guru dan kepala sekolah menyambut positif kegiatan ini.

Published: August 2024

Pembahasan mengenai kesadaran hukum menjadi semakin penting seiring dengan meningkatnya peristiwa-peristiwa hukum yang kontroversial. Jurnal ini membahas pentingnya kesadaran hukum dalam masyarakat sebagai upaya untuk menegakkan supremasi hukum dan memperjuangkan hak serta keadilan. Metode pengabdian masyarakat diterapkan dalam kegiatan sosialisasi dan brainstorming kepada lima warga di sekitar RT 27 Kelurahan Prapatan Balikpapan. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa kesadaran hukum sangat dibutuhkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, terutama dalam penyelesaian masalah hukum secara kekeluargaan oleh perwakilan pemerintah setempat. Pentingnya membangun kesadaran hukum dalam masyarakat juga diperkuat dengan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kurangnya kesadaran hukum, seperti ketidakpastian hukum dan efisiensi dalam mempertahankan peraturan yang berlaku. Meskipun ada kesadaran tentang perlunya hukum, ketaatan pada hukum belum tentu terwujud dalam prilaku nyata. Sebagai kesimpulan, artikel ini menekankan perlunya membangun kesadaran hukum dalam masyarakat sebagai langkah untuk menciptakan ketaatan pada hukum yang berujung pada terciptanya ketertiban dan keadilan.
