Exploring Genetic Silencing: RNAi and CRISPR-Cas Potential against Drug Resistance in Malaria
Authors: Gaona-Lopez Carlos , Rivera Gildardo
Published: June 2024

Malaria has been one of the most lethal infectious diseases throughout history, claiming a
high number of human lives. The genomic plasticity of Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent
of the most severe and deadly form of malaria, gives the parasite a constant resistance to drugs developed
for its control. Despite efforts to control and even eradicate the disease, these have largely
been unsuccessful due to the parasite's continuous adaptations. This study aims to examine the key
genes involved in parasite resistance and propose a shift in the combat strategy. Gene silencing
techniques offer promise in combating malaria, yet further research is needed to harness their potential
for disease control fully. Although there is still a long way to go for the implementation of gene
silencing-based therapeutic strategies, this review addresses examples of the use of such techniques
in various human diseases and how they could be extrapolated for malaria treatment.

Authors: Arcia Catherine Giovanna Costas , Encinas Jessica Freitas Araujo , Raimundo Joyce Regina Santos , de Gois Katharyna Cardoso , da Costa Aguiar Alves Beatriz , Perez Matheus Moreira , Gascon Thais Moura , Fonseca Fernando Luiz Affonso , da Veiga Glaucia Luciano
Published: June 2024

Introduction:

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by persistent
hyperglycemia and/or insulin resistance. If left uncontrolled, it can lead to a combination of
cardiac and renal alterations known as cardiorenal syndrome. Additionally, oxidative stress and
inflammation contribute to tissue damage, thereby reducing the life expectancy of individuals
with diabetes.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to identify early molecular markers associated with cardiorenal
syndrome, oxidative stress, and inflammation, and to investigate their correlation with the duration
of exposure to DM.

Methods:

An experimental DM model was employed using Wistar rats. The rats were divided
into four groups: diabetic rats at 7 days (DM7), diabetic rats at 30 days (DM30), control sham at
7 days (CS7), and control sham at 30 days (CS30). Blood and brain tissue from the brainstem region
were collected at 7 and 30 days after confirming DM induction. Gene expression analysis of
Bnp, Anp, Cat, Gpx, Sod, Tnf-α, and Il-6 was performed.

Results:

The analysis revealed lower expression values of Cat in the brainstem tissue of the
DM7 group compared to the NDS7 group. Moreover, diabetic animals exhibited statistically
lower levels of Tnf-α in their peripheral blood compared to the control animals.

Conclusion:

This study concluded that DM alters the oxidative balance in the brainstem after 7
days of DM induction, resulting in lower Cat expression levels. Although some genes did not
show statistical differences after 30 days of DM induction, other genes exhibited no expression
values, indicating possible gene silencing. The study identified an imbalance in the studied
pathways and concluded that the organism undergoes a compensatory state in response to the initial
metabolic alterations caused by DM.
Cardiology and Neurophysiological Stimulation of Internet Gaming
Disorders: A Systematic Review
Authors: Selvam Immaculate Joy
Published: June 2024

Background:

Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) is recognized as a mental health condition associated with excessive video gaming, leading to functional impairments. The inclusion of
IGD in the DSM-5 has underscored the importance of comprehensively understanding its physiological and psychological effects.

Objective:

This systematic review aims to analyze and synthesize existing literature on the cardiophysiological and neurophysiological activities of individuals diagnosed with IGD, with a focus on identifying patterns, trends, and implications for clinical practice and future research.

Methods:

A systematic search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus databases to identify relevant studies published up to 2023. The search strategy included terms related to IGD, cardiophysiology, neurophysiology, and relevant measurement techniques. Inclusion criteria encompassed peer-reviewed research articles and clinical trials examining cardiophysiological (e.g.,
heart rate variability, blood pressure) and neurophysiological (e.g., brain imaging, electroencephalography) parameters in individuals with IGD. Exclusion criteria were applied to ensure
methodological rigor and relevance to the research question.

Results:

The initial search yielded 1320 papers related to IGD, of which twenty studies met the
eligibility criteria and were included in the review. Data extraction and synthesis focused on key
cardiophysiological and neurophysiological outcomes observed in individuals with IGD compared to healthy controls. Findings revealed decreased Heart Rate Variability (HRV), increased
sympathetic activity, and executive control deficits in IGD individuals based on Electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings and cognitive assessments. Neuroimaging studies demonstrated heightened brain activation in the lateral and prefrontal cortex, altered reward processing, and impulse
control mechanisms among IGD subjects. Gender-specific differences were noted, with males
exhibiting distinct thalamic activation striatum and decreased Regional Homogeneity (ReHo) in
the right Posterior Cingulate (rPCC) compared to females.

Discussion:

The synthesized evidence indicates a complex interplay between excessive gaming
and cardiophysiological/neurophysiological changes, highlighting the need for multidimensional
assessments in diagnosing and managing IGD. Implications for clinical practice include early
detection using ECG, EEG, and advanced neuroimaging techniques, as well as personalized interventions tailored to individual characteristics and gender-specific differences.

Conclusion:

This systematic review provides a comprehensive overview of the cardiophysiological and neurophysiological activities associated with Internet Gaming Disorder. The findings
underscore the need for further research to elucidate underlying mechanisms, develop standardized diagnostic protocols, and optimize targeted interventions for individuals with IGD.

Published: June 2024

Background:

A combination of fixed-doses containing 0.5 mg lobeglitazone sulfate
and 500 mg metformin hydrochloride has demonstrated efficacy in enhancing glycemic control in
diabetes.

Aims:

The projected work aimed to establish and validate a high-performance thin-layer chromatographic
methodology for the quantification of both drugs in tablet formulations.

Objectives:

The task involves creating and validating a method in accordance with ICH guidelines
to quantify two particular drugs in tablet formulations accurately.

Methods:

The high-performance thin-layer chromatographic analysis utilized aluminum plates layered
with silica gel 60F254, and the solvent system consisted of acetonitrile, 1 M ammonium acetate
(methanol), toluene, and triethyl amine (1.5:2.5:4:0.2 v/v/v/v), followed by densitometric scanning
at 237 nm.

Results:

The methodology exhibited linearity in the range of 100-1500 ng/band for lobeglitazone
sulfate and 1000-15000 ng/band for metformin hydrochloride, with correlation coefficients of
0.9991 and 0.9992, correspondingly. Exceptional sensitivity was observed, with detection limits
of 8.17 ng/band for lobeglitazone sulfate and 271.34 ng/band for metformin hydrochloride, along
with quantification limits of 24.75 ng/band for lobeglitazone sulfate and 822.24 ng/band for metformin
hydrochloride. The method demonstrated precision (% relative standard deviation of peak
area <2) and accuracy (recovery between 96 and 103%).

Conclusion:

The suggested methodology is fit for the concurrent quantification of both drugs in
tablet formulations, making it applicable for routine quality control assessments in laboratories.
Treatment of Tislelizumab-Induced Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis and Agranulocytosis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Zhou Yanshi , Xue Honghao , Lu Chenghua , Zhang Yemin , Wu Qingyuan , Zhang Jun , Xie Shiyun , Xu Xiangqian , Guo Xiaoyan
Published: June 2024

Background:

Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) makes up about 85% of lung
cancer cases, mainly adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Recently, PD-1 inhibitors
have become crucial in NSCLC treatment, significantly enhancing survival for some. However,
side effects, like skin reactions and hematotoxicity, limit their use, with drug-induced TEN and
immunotherapy-induced agranulocytosis as severe adverse effects.

Case Presentation:

Herein, we have reported the case of a 75-year-old male diagnosed with
metastatic Lung Squamous cell Carcinoma (LUSC) in the left lung. He received first-line treatment
with one cycle of tislelizumab in combination with nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin, after
which he developed Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) and granulocytopenia. To address these
two serious immune-related Adverse Events (irAEs), the patient was administered methylprednisolone
in combination with gamma globulin for TEN and dexamethasone in combination with
G-CSF for agranulocytosis. Antibiotics were also administered according to the patient’s medication
regimen. After treatment, the patient recovered and was discharged from the hospital. It
was also noted that the lung tumor condition improved.

Conclusion:

Effective management of severe immune-related side effects from tislelizumab, including
TEN and agranulocytosis, can be partly achieved through steroids, gamma globulin, GCSF,
and antibiotics. This strategy not only alleviates these adverse effects, but also potentially
improves tumor conditions, highlighting the crucial role of vigilant monitoring and management
in immunotherapy.
Recent Review on Potentials of Saponins in the Regulation of Inflammation in Colon Cancer: Current Progress and Future Prospects
Authors: Yadav Neha , Deshmukh Rohitas , Mazumder Rupa
Published: June 2024

Many common herbal medicines, including astragalus, ginseng, and bupleurum, contain
saponins, which are surface-active glycosides found in nature. Saponins have recently been proven to
have potent anti-inflammatory properties and to produce immunological homeostasis in patients with
a wide range of illnesses. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), intestinal
ischemia-reperfusion injury (IIRI), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and radiation proctitis are
all diseases of the digestive tract related to intestinal inflammation. Intestinal inflammation is another
potential side effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. In addition to chronic diseases'
emotional and physical burden on patients, they often exact a heavy financial burden on individual
persons and the larger community. Because the causes of these diseases are so poorly known, there is
a lack of information regarding the etiology of these conditions. On the other hand, saponins may
help reduce this risk by lowering inflammation, enhancing the repair of the intestinal barrier, preserving
the diversity of the intestinal flora, and maintaining the healthy and balanced state of the flora
themselves. There is a correlation between inflammation of the intestines and an increased risk of
colon cancer. In this article, we look at the most recent research regarding the effect that saponins
have on diseases linked to inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.

Authors: Sharma Anjali , Sharma Devkant , Vats Srishti , Kamboj Akash , Sharma Prerna
Published: June 2024

In poor nations, helminthic illnesses are a major source of social, economic,
and medical problems. These parasite illnesses affect a large number of people, and
there are not enough effective treatments available. It is necessary to step up research
on novel medications and treatments to address this pressing need. The lymphatic
system is hampered by lymphatic filariasis, which can result in aberrant body part
growth and cause discomfort, severe disability, and social stigma. As of 2018, there
were 51 million cases, a 74% decrease from the 2000 commencement of the WHO's
Global Programme to Eradicate Lymphatic Filariasis. With 27 cases documented in
2020, the devastating parasite disease dracunculiasis is almost completely eradicated.
The transmission cycle takes between 10 and 14 months to complete after infection.
The aim of the book chapter is to focus on pathogenesis, diagnosis, available treatment,
and measures to eradicate these infections caused by helminthic parasites, which have
been declared as neglected diseases by the World Health Organization.

Thematic content of alcohol mobile app reviews: how do we give the people what they want? (Preprint)
Authors: Kirouac Megan , Gillezeau Christina
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Nearly one third of adults in the United States will meet criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD) in their lifetime, yet fewer than ten percent of individuals who meet for AUD criteria will receive treatment for it. Mobile Health (mHealth) applications have been suggested as a potential mechanism for closing this treatment gap, yet there is a wide variety of quality and integrity within these apps, leading to potential harms to users.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this paper is to systematically record and qualitatively examine user reviews or mHealth applications to identify features in the existing apps that may impact usefulness and adoption of them.

METHODS

The researchers used Apple App and Google Play stores to identify mHealth applications that were focused on modifying alcohol use and treating common comorbidities. Apps that were free without in-app purchases and provided multiple features for users were included. User reviews from the apps were downloaded and coded using content analysis.

RESULTS

Eight apps were identified and had user reviews downloaded. A total of 370 reviews were downloaded and 1353 phrases were coded from those reviews into a total of 11 codes. The five most common themes identified were praise, tools, suggestions for improvement, criticism, and tracking.

CONCLUSIONS

The current findings suggest that alcohol mobile app users broadly found the apps helpful in reducing their drinking or meeting their drinking goals. Users were able to identify features that they liked or found helpful in the apps, as well as provide concrete feedback about features that they would like included or improved. Specifically, flexible and expansive tracking features and comprehensive whole health tools were cited as valuable and desired. App developers and those looking to expand access to and uptake of alcohol reduction apps may find these user reviews helpful in guiding their app development.

Analysis of Differences in Digital Learning Competencies and Educational Requirements Based on Whether University Students Have Received AI Education
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Jo Hyeyoung , Oh Sewon
Published: June 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in digital literacy skills among university students based on their exposure to AI education. Additionally, the study aims to analyze the educational requirements associated with AI education.
Methods To accomplish this, a total of 281 students enrolled in 4-year universities in Seoul and Chungcheong-do regions were selected as participants. The data was analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and the Excel program. The differences were analyzed using t-tests, and the educational requirements were examined through IPA, Borich Needs Assessment, and The Locus for Focus model.
Results Based on the main results, First, we analyzed the difference in digital learning competencies between university students with and without AI education, andfound statistically significant differences in all subdomains exceptcommunication, which isthe current level of digital learning competencies, and creativity, which is important. Second, the analysis of the digital learning competency needs of university students with AI education experience shows that critical thinking is a key area of focus. The difference between the current level and the importance is statistically significant in the subfactors of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. According to the Borich needs analysis, communication, critical thinking, and creativity are the most important. In the Locus for Focus Model, the first quadrant, HH zone, manifested as critical thinking. While no common sub-factors appeared in education priorities, critical thinking emerged as the second-highest priority in the Borich Needs Assessment. This suggests that university students with AI education experience may need support to enhance critical thinking skills. Third, the results of the analysis of the digital learning competency needs of university students without any prior experience in AI education are as follows. Critical thinking and creativity are the focus areas. The difference between the current level and importance was statistically significant in the subfactors of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. The Locus for Focus Model shows that the first quadrant, HH, represents creativity and critical thinking, and the common factor with Borich's needs analysis is creativity. Therefore, ways to support them should be prioritized.
Conclusions The research results indicate that support for education should be provided based on whether AI education is present or absent. Furthermore, I would like to propose effective measures to enhance the implementation of AI education.
The Structural Relationship between the Satisfaction and Performance of University Students' Scholarship Program for Leadership Development, Self-directed Learning Attitudes, and University Life Adaptation
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Oh Sewon , Jo Hyeyoung
Published: June 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to find out the structural relationship between the satisfaction and performance of university students' scholarship program for leadership development, self-directed learning attitudes, and university life adaptation.
Methods For this, 684 people who participated in the university students’ scholarship program for leadership development were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 25.0. The validity of the research variables was verified through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, and the structural relationship was analyzed with a structural equation.
Results The main findings are as follows. First, focusing on the university life adaptation, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between the satisfaction of scholarship program for leadership development and the sub-areas(University Hope Scholarship participation satisfaction, Samsung Dream Scholarship Foundation satisfaction), self-directed learning attitude and sub-areas(learning awareness, self directedness, time management, asking for help), performance and sub-areas(tendency attitude, university life, exam anxiety_reverse). The second measurement model was found to be suitable. The satisfaction of scholarship program for leadership development did not directly affect university life adaptation, but it completely mediated by influencing indirectly the path of “satisfaction of scholarship program for leadership development → self-directed learning attitude → performance of scholarship program for leadership development → university life adaptation.”
Conclusions These findings ultimately revealed the influence of university students’ scholarship program for leadership development affecting university life adaptation by leading self-directed learning attitude and enabling the positive results. Therefore, I would like to suggest a way to further improve the effectiveness of this program. In addition, I would like to propose an activity program and educational recirculation system focusing on the competency necessary for university students after COVID-19.

A Study on the Education of Korean abbreviated form of particles using Web Drama
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Fedorova Yelyzaveta Fedorova Yelyzaveta , Park Deok-yu
Published: June 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to consider the theory of abbreviated form of particles, to analyze the frequency of use and to identify limitations or problems in the current state of education to propose an effective educational plan for abbreviated form of particles, which are difficult and colloquial grammar for foreign learners.
Methods First, information about Korean abbreviated form of particles was organized based on previous research and the contents of Korean orthography. And based on it the subject of this study was selected. Subsequently, the forms and frequency of abbreviated forms of particles used by native Korean speakers in their daily lives were examined through web drama script analysis. In addition, in order to propose efficient education content for foreign learners, the actual state of abbreviated forms of particles in the dialogues in Korean language textbooks was analyzed. And it was also confirmed whether the explanation of the ‘abbreviated forms of particles’ was presented in the ‘grammar’ section. Subsequently, after comparing abbreviated forms of particles that appeared high in web drama and Korean textbooks, teaching and learning procedures were systematically proposed.
Results The results are as follows: firstly, it was confirmed that native language speakers frequently use abbreviated form of particles through analysis of web dramas. Especially the abbreviated form of the particle ‘eun’ is used most frequently. On the other hand, the frequency of use of the particle ‘i’ was the lowest. Subsequently, in Korean textbook dialogues, abbreviated form of particles appeared with a similar frequency of use. However the forms of combinations such as ‘statement + particle’, ‘verb + particle + particle’ or ‘verb + ending + particle’ in web-dramas were more diverse. Unfortunately, in Korean textbooks these various forms of abbreviated form of particles was not appear frequently, and there was almost no explanatory section or materials showing how to use them.
Conclusions Currently, there is a lack of presentation or explanation of various types of abbreviated form of particles in Korean language textbooks. Accordingly, in this paper, we recognized the need for education on abbreviated form of particles that are actually frequently used by native Korean speakers. In order to teach abbreviated forms of particles frequently used in spoken Korean, a framework for educational content was proposed by analyzing web drama lines, which are actual data.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Youngeun , Yoon Misun , Lee Hyunjung
Published: June 2024

Objectives This study is a qualitative study to explore the experience of developing counseling competencies in counseling practice classes conducted in the classroom of master counseling students.
Methods The participants were 10 enrolled and graduates who had taken counseling practice classes within the master's curriculum, and the counseling practice class is a class where students can experience counseling practice in the form of counseling skills practice and mock counseling within the class. The interview was conducted via Zoom, and two researchers participated in pairs. The collected data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological research method.
Results As a result of the data analysis, 3 theme groups, 6 topics, and 24 compositions were derived. The 3 theme groups appeared as ‘desperate for practice classes’, ‘the practice course of overcoming fear and cyclical experience’, and ‘qualitative maturity as counseling experts’. The 6 topics are in the following: ‘want to fill in insufficient counseling skills’, ‘want to have counseling expertise’, ‘practice classes that are anxious and afraid that insufficient counseling capabilities will be revealed’, ‘community learning process that deepens through repetitive cyclical experiences’, ‘qualitative change in counseling techniques through embodiment’ and ‘internal growth of counseling attitudes’. In particular, through feedback and interactions that occurred in the practice class process, the participants experienced repetitive and cyclical counseling practice with colleagues, deepened their insight into their inner selves, and learned and embodied counseling techniques, and applied them back to counseling, and they experienced learning and improved counseling expertise.
Conclusions This study is significant in that it sheds light on the experience of developing specific professional counseling competencies and providing basic data in the process aspect of improving the quality of counseling practice classes by revealing the in-depth reality that counseling majors actually experience in counseling practice classes.
A Study of Semantic Relation in Word Association by the Word Association Test of Korean Language Teachers, Korean Language Learners and Korean Native Speakers
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Shin HyunJung
Published: June 2024

Objectives This study investigates the semantic relations of associated words between Korean language teachers, Korean language learners and Korean native speakers through word association test.
Methods This word association task was conducted with 3 subject groups. They were given 10 stimulus words which were derived from the novice level in Korean language text books, then they were asked to associate and write 3 associative words to 10 stimulus words.
Results This study reveals three important results. First, Korean native speakers’ group showed the most associated words among the 3 groups. Second, Korean language teachers’ group showed the least number of associative words. Third, Korean language learnes’ group and Korean teachers’ group had the the most common associated words.
Conclusions The result that Korean teachers’ group showed that least number of assciated words suggests that the diversity of associative words may have emerged due to occupational influences but it also means that the trained teachers focused on the language learners’ proficiency and associated the words which they use in teaching or from textbooks. Second, whereas the associative words of native Koreans are very authentic and various, other two groups’ associative words seemed more focused on the vocabulary in the textbook so they had more associated words in common. Therefore, in order to teach and use the authentic Korean words to foreign Korean language learners, we may utilize the word association test to find and develop more ways to use the authentic words which are frequently used in each field.

Results In summary of the analysis results, firstly, statistically significant, sense of community had a direct influence on multicultural acceptance, and it indirectly influenced multicultural acceptance through life satisfaction as a mediator. Secondly, the indirect effect of sense of community on multicultural acceptance through life satisfaction was statistically significantly moderated by the willingness to express opinions on social participation. Additionally, the mediating effect of sense of communityon multicultural acceptance through life satisfaction was higher in the group willing to express opinions on social participation compared to the group not willing to express opinions.
Conclusions Based on the findings of this study, recommendations for enhancing multicultural acceptance among adolescents and suggestions for further research were provided.

Objectives This study confirmed the differences in self-regulated learning ability, learning presence, and perceived academic achievement of nursing students who experienced face-to-face and non-face-to-face classes and the relationship between them, and learned from the relationship between self-regulated learning ability and perceived academic achievement. We sought to confirm the mediating effect learning presence.
Methods Data collection was conducted from May 9 to 27, 2022, targeting nursing students who experienced both face-to-face and non-face-to-face classes, and data from a total of 187 students were used in the final analysis. The collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Person’s correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression using SPSS 22.0 program.
Results In face-to-face classes, self-regulated learning ability and learning presence, self-regulated learning ability and perceived academic achievement, learning presence and perceived academic achievement The relationship was significant. In non-face-to-face classes, self-regulated learning ability and sense of learning presenc), self-regulated learning ability and perceived academic achievemen), learning presence and perceived academic achievement The relationship with achievement was significant. In addition, the partial mediating effect of learning presence was confirmed in the relationship between nursing students' self-regulated learning ability and perceived academic achievement, and the explanatory power was 36.7% for face-to-face classes and 43.6% for non-face-to-face classes.
Conclusions In order to improve the perceived academic achievement of nursing students, various methods should be prepared to develop and apply systematic programs to improve self-regulated learning ability and sense of learning reality. Additionally, it is necessary to consider strategies for diversifying teaching methods that can complement face-to-face and non-face-to-face classes.

Published: June 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to compare the usage patterns of passive expressions in Korean and Japanese, Although passive expressions are frequently used in both Korea and Japan, there is limited data comparing and analyzing passive expressions through corpora, and research on non-passive expressions is rare, hence the need for further investigation.
Methods First, we collected and analyzed passive expressions from approximately 600,000 words of Korean and Japanese broadcast content. Second, we extracted and compared non-passive expressions in Korean and Japanese. Third, we elucidated differences and commonalities through the usage patterns and examples of passive and non-passive expressions in Korean and Japanese.
Results Passive expressions found only in Korean total 424, with suffix passives being 254 or 60%, lexical passives 131 or 31%, and syntactic passives 39 or 9%. Next, passive expressions found only in Japanese consist of -れる form with 219 or 89%, and -られる form with 26 or 11%. Finally, passive expressions in both Korean and Japanese total 101, with suffix passives being 29 or 29%, lexical passives 68 or 67%, and syntactic passives 4 or 4%.
Conclusions This study examined the usage patterns of passive expressions in Korean and Japanese using broadcast content from a Korean-Japanese parallel corpus. The reason why non-passive expressions in Japanese were frequently used when Korean was in passive form was because they were often substituted with intransitive verbs, particularly in suffix and syntactic passives. However, in mutual passive expressions, two-syllable Chinese characters were frequently observed in lexical passive expressions, which can be effectively utilized in passive education due to the characteristics of Chinese character usage. This study holds significance not only as foundational material for Japanese learners of Korean but also for Korean learners of Japanese

Docência e interseccionalidade: o que dizem as professoras
Authors: DIAS Gabriella de Oliveira , BAIÃO Jonê Carla
Published: June 2024

This article analyses the narratives of four black female teachers about the racism that permeated their bodies, highlighting the intersections that crossed them in teaching. The process of feminization of teaching, a stereotype linked to the gender marker, points to the exclusion of women in the sciences. Black decolonial feminism questions social arrangements based on a Eurocentric, patriarchal and colonialist vision and how they produce oppressions such as racism and sexism in academia. Through the lens of intersectionality, the narratives of the female professors show the impediment and access to spaces of power.
