Published: March 2024

Background: Arthroscopic shoulder ligament repair is one of the most performed procedures in the orthopaedic specialty. Suture anchor devices are used in arthroscopic surgeries to reattach ligaments or other soft tissues to bone. The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety and functional outcomes after shoulder ligament repair.
Methods: This is a multicentric, retrospective, observational study conducted on patients who underwent primary arthroscopic shoulder ligament tear repair between April 2018 to July 2022, using Sironix suture anchors at Kumaran Hospital and Rela Institute, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, and DNV Ortho Care Hospital, Dharmapuri, Tamil Nadu, India. A total of 75 patients were included. Post-surgery measurements of functional outcomes were performed using the PENN shoulder score, simple shoulder test questionnaire, shoulder pain and disability index, and single assessment numerical evaluation. Adverse events were recorded.
Results: At post-surgery follow-up visits, there was a significant improvement in the functional outcomes of all the patients. The PENN shoulder score had a mean (SD) pain score of 92.04 (7.50), a satisfaction score of 91.87 (8.00), and a function score of 93.18 (6.16), respectively. The mean (SD) SST score and SPADI score was 88.9 (9.7), and 2.8 (2.79) respectively. The SANE mean (SD) values of the operated joint and opposite joint were 91.0 (7.31) and 98.1 (4.26) respectively with a p value of 0.0001.
Conclusions: Based on the study results, arthroscopic shoulder ligament repair with Sironix suture anchor resulted in good and desirable functional outcomes with no major adverse events and improved quality of life.

Published: March 2024

Desde la perspectiva teórica de la cartografía de la micropolítica del trabajo vivo en acto, el objetivo fue analizar el proceso de trabajo del equipo del “consultorio en la calle” con sede en una unidad de atención básica de la ciudad de Río de Janeiro, Brasil, en el manejo de casos de tuberculosis, en el contexto de la pandemia de covid-19. Se trata de una investigación exploratoria con enfoque cualitativo. Entre mayo y diciembre de 2021, se entrevistaron a siete profesionales del equipo consultorio en la calle, y se realizó observación participante con registros en diario de campo. De las entrevistas surgieron tres ejes temáticos relacionados con la población en situación de calle en el contexto de la pandemia covid-19: 1) Desafíos, potencialidades y fragilidades del cuidado de la tuberculosis; 2) Construcción de redes de cuidados intersectoriales para el seguimiento de las personas con tuberculosis; y 3) La calle como espacio de producción de cuidado: el proceso de trabajo del consultorio en la calle en el manejo de la tuberculosis. Se concluye que la atención a personas en situación de calle con tuberculosis en el contexto de la pandemia covid-19 requiere no solo de la gestión de protocolos clínicos, sino también de la construcción de un trabajo compartido con la red intra e intersectorial. Además de la tarea de estar en el territorio, el servicio ambulatorio del territorio también debe ser un servicio ambulatorio de la calle, especialmente en lo que respecta al tratamiento de la tuberculosis.

Published: March 2024

people travel to Kerala each year to work as seasonal labourers. They play a significant part in the growth and survival of Kerala’s economy. Changes in the labour market, increased tax income for the government, and overall economic expansion are connected with worker movement. To examine the current pattern of worker migration and the availability of local workers in rural economies. The researcher selected a descriptive research technique that relied heavily on secondary sources to gain a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. Publications such as books, newspapers, journals, articles, and internet platforms such as blogs and wikis are examples of secondary sources. This article examines the frequency and relevance of migrant workers in the state’s current labour market and the availability of local labour in Kerala’s informal rural labour market. By segmenting the labour market in Kerala by industry, this study will assist in determining the extent to which migrants have affected the state’s economy. The rural Indian labour market has shifted from agriculture to service and industrial industries. The number of persons employed in manufacturing and services is growing yearly, while employment in agriculture is deteriorating. The government is in trouble because poor people are willing to perform physical labour. There was a need for low-cost physical labour in Kerala; therefore, migrant workers from other countries arrived to fill the need. Without the assistance migrant workers give in areas with a severe shortage of local staff, firms would fail.

Published: March 2024

Length-Length Relationships (LLRs) and Length-Weight Relationships (LWRs) are vital tools in the management of fisheries to facilitate a proper understanding of the condition of fish species and the growth pattern from different environments. Despite numerous studies on LWRs and LLRs of fish species, the majority of those have focused on the food fish creating a lacuna in the biometric assessment studies of forage fish. Against this backdrop, the current work was undertaken to estimate the LLRs, LWRs and condition factor of Crossocheilus diplochilus, a forage fish from Dal Lake of Kashmir Himalayas. The fish was reported to show negative allometric growth, attaining a maximum length of 14.8 cm and a maximum weight of 17.19 g. The overall condition factor was reported to be 0.86 ± 0.10, reflecting a poor condition of growth. The fish forms a vital trophic link of the lake, as such timely biometric studies could help in managing its stock properly.

English-Russian Navigation Dictionary as part of the Marine Navigation Course
Authors:   Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M. V. Lomonosov, Epimakhova Aleksandra S.
Published: March 2024

The artilce considers the English-Russian Navigation dictionary in the context of its creation. The dictionary evolved from a small appendix to a textbook into a separate edition, which is a part of a multi-volume Marine Navigation Course. The Navigation Dictionary as part of the Marine Navigation Course ed. by Yakov Lapushkin was published twice: in 1947 by Nikolay Rybakov and in 1960 by Tamara Rutkovskaya. The representatives of the professional naval, academic, and scientific community, including the well-known lexicographer Alexander Taube, contributed to this dictionary. A comparative analysis of the sources shows the continuity between these dictionaries in their content, design and structure. The demand for the new 1960 version was explained by a rapid scientific and technological progress, as well as by the requirements to take into account not only British, but also American sources due to the increasing role of the United States in the navigation in this period. The need to create a navigation dictionary, including both special terminology and basic commands, was justified in the textbooks by Nikolay Rybakov, and in the preface to the dictionary by Tamara Rutkovskaya by the role that this language played in professional naval communication. Navigators needed a modern English-Russian dictionary that could be used for reading foreign manuals, for communication with pilots; such professional skills should have been obtained in the course of studies. Nowadays, old dictionaries compiled scores of years ago, remain a valuable source of information on the history of the Russian scientific and technical thought and professional communication.
Expressive ways of creating new nominations in social networks (on the example of the Telegram social network)
Authors:   Nizhny Novgorod Academy of the Ministry of the Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Zamaldinov Vladislav E.
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes expressive ways of creating new lexical units. The material consists of contexts of various contents extracted from the open resources of the Telegram messenger in the space of 2021–2023. Research methods and techniques include continuous sampling, the descriptive method with elements of interpretive analysis, word-formation analysis. New nominations formed with the help of contamination have been identified. Such word-forming neologisms are used to create a comic effect. The contaminated innovations that participate in the strategy of discrediting Orthodoxy are analyzed. New lexical units indicate a low communicative competence of the addresser. Tmesis nominations are characterized. It is proved that these media innovations have a special expressiveness, attract the user’s attention. The new nominations that have arisen as a result of the inter-word overlap are considered. It is confirmed that media innovations created with the help of inter-word overlay express evaluation and are a means of language play. The new nominations formed as a result of graphixation and its varieties are analyzed. Graphic hybrids participate in the creation of intentional ambiguity, express an individual element, stimulate the imagination of readers. New lexical units based on precedent phenomena are registered. It is established that such new nominations attract the attention of the addressee, disrupt predictability, enhance the expressiveness of the title. Such media innovations are noted, which have expletive and obscene lexemes in their structures as derivational bases. Aggressive nominations cause users to backlash, to violate ethical norms of speech behavior. The results of this paper may be of interest to teachers, students, cadets, as well as to anyone interested in active processes in the field of word formation.
Lexico-semantic features of creating the image of the protagonist in the novel Zumalacárregui by B. Pérez Galdós
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Tereshchuk Andrei A.
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes the linguistic features of the novel Zumalacárregui by the Spanish writer Benito Pérez Galdos, first published in 1898. The novel opens the third series of the National episodes (Episodios Nacionales) and is dedicated to the First Carlist War in Spain (1833–1840). The protagonist is the Carlist general T. de Zumalacárregui, whose Doppelgänger is the priest José Fago. General T. de Zumalacárregui is frequently mentioned in periodical publications, in memoires and in fiction of the 19–20th centuries. The article analyzes nouns, adjectives and substantive combinations used by the writer to create the image of the protagonist. The semantic fields “war”, “politics” and “religion” are distinguished among the lexical units used in relation to the general. The image of T. de Zumalacárregui is analyzed separately in the direct speech of the characters of the novel. The most common lexemes used to describe the general are “caudillo” (“leader”), “guerrero” (“warrior”), and “héroe” (“hero”). These lexical units, commonly used with positive connotations, acquire a comic connotation in the context of the novel or serve to express a negative value judgment. The vocabulary related to the semantic field “religion” at first sight repeats the clichés of Carlist propaganda, according to which T. de Zumalacárregui appears as a “martyr” who suffered for the “Cause”. At the same time, by replacing individual lexical units, the author turns the protagonist into a parody of Christ. The vocabulary related to the semantic field “politics” is analyzed. T. de Zumalacárregui appears in the work as a supporter of “Absolutism”. It is concluded that B. Pérez Galdós, copying some clichés of Carlist propaganda, created a negative image of T. de Zumalacárregui.
“Our family was called the ‘blessed family’ in the city...” (to the biography of Alexander Nikolaevich Pypin)
Authors:   Saratov State University, Stepanova Elena V.
Published: March 2024

The work deals with the questions of the biography of the outstanding Russian scientist-humanitarian, academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences A. N. Pypin (1833–1904). The purpose of the study is to identify and summarize materials about the Saratov period of the scientist’s life, to present the history of his family, to reveal the role of his father and mother in intellectual and spiritual development. The study of a wide range of memoirs, documentary and epistolary sources resulted in establishing that the history of the noble family of the Pypins dates back to 1791. The ancestors on the father’s side, N. D. Pypin, were clerical workers, on the side of the mother A.E. Golubeva they were priests. It is shown that A. N. Pypin was brought up in a religious family, with high moral ideals, in the atmosphere of love and care. The role of parents in the formation of his humanitarian interests is significant. It is noted that the love of books and reading that distinguished Alexander Nikolaevich from an early age came from his family, from his mother, and was a natural necessity for all younger family members. Parents formed a picture of the world of their son by various means. If the mother did so through literature, primary educational knowledge, then the father formed it by means of contact with real life. He introduced his son to the world of peasant life, of serfdom. According to the scientist, N. D. and A. E. Pypins had a significant impact on the formation of his personality, influenced the choice of life priorities. The paper publishes for the first time the primary source about the birth of A. N. Pypin, the record in the metrical book of Saratov Church of the Holy Saviour, the formulary lists of his great-grandfather, grandfather and father.
Dispute over M. P. Artsybashev’s play Jealousy in Saratov community
Authors:   Yuri Gagarin State Technical University of Saratov, Romaykina Yulia S.
Published: March 2024

Based on the material published in newspapers Saratovskiy Listok (Saratov Leaflet) and Saratovskiy Vestnik (Saratov Herald) the article analyzes the dispute in Saratov community over a provocative drama about a “wife killer” Jealousy – the first play written by a fashionable and scandalous author, M. P. Artsybashev. The reasons for the popularity of the play’s simplified interpretation of F. Nietzsche’s ideas that influenced the development of gender issues and shaped the shocking libertine image of a “new” female predator in public consciousness are revealed. The article observes 12 invariably full-house performances that were staged in November and December of 1913 in the City Theatre of Saratov. Much attention is paid to the dispute held by Saratov intellectuals on the topic of “women and jealousy” and to a mock public trial that had caused a wide publicity; in the course of this trial the husband who had murdered his wife was acquitted and the wife who had flirted openly with other men was found guilty of “reprehensible conduct”. The speech of the only female speaker taking part in the dispute – a teacher of Saratov refresher courses for women by A. I. Lelkova – stands out. The reaction of Saratov press to the lectures of Moscow speakers (About Women’s Freedom and Men’s Slavery by N. Ya. Abramovich and The Woman Judged by Modern Literature by S. Glagol’) is described. Parodies on Jealousy published in the newspapers of Saratov and therefore indicating the popularity of Artsybashev’s play are also discussed. The study concludes that the reviewers of Saratov newspapers were trying to explain the popularity of Jealousy both in terms of its artistic value (in comparison with L. N. Tolstoy’s The Kreutzer Sonata and L. N. Andreyev’s dramas) and from the perspective of social issues reflected in the play (women’s rights and social status in the family and society, abusive relationships, domestic violence). The reviewers of Saratovskiy Listok gave overall favorable and sometimes rapturous responses to Jealousy, while Saratovskiy Vestnik printed in general negative, sarcastic reviews.
Praising Stalin’s nomenklatura in The Bearer of the Golden Star: The novel by Semyon Babayevsky and the film by Yuliy Raizman
Authors:   Saratov State University, Mikhailin VadimYu.
Published: March 2024

One of the most popular novels in late Stalinist USSR, The Bearer of the Golden Star (1947–1948) by Semyon Babayevsky, is seen now as a representative symbol of “grand” or “varnishing” style in literature – to the same measure as the eponymous film (1950) by Yuliy Raizman did for the Soviet cinematic tradition. High official status of both texts guaranteed by Stalin’s awards matched the overwhelming success they both enjoyed with general public. The author here makes an attempt to examine the possible reasons of this popularity and offers a look at The Bearer of the Golden Star as at panorama both of a newborn after the World War II privileged social stratum, nomenklatura, and a system of social elevators leading to it – as much demanded by its target audience. The modes of fictional re-interpretation of real bureaucratic procedures are considered as well as the authors’ dealing with the key characters representing different nomenklatural positions; and also some «ethnographic» characters used to blur the border between social strata, so that the Soviet “new ruling class” could still be seen as an integral part of “working people”. The paper also deals with operational mechanisms of manipulative political metaphors and with those means Semyon Babayevsky and Yuliy Raizman used to ensure the highest possible level of propaganda impact. Special attention is also paid to the figure of Stalin as the key element in the “Grand style” mythology that form a hidden suggestive structer of the text.
The function and mission of the “little man” in Bulat Okudzhava’s novel Poor Avrosimov
Authors:   Linguistic University of Nizhny Novgorod, Aleksandrova Maria А.
Published: March 2024

In the beginning of the article we correlate Okudzhava’s story about the creative history of his novel (“invention” of the scrivener’s image) with the writer’s statements about Decembrism, which allows us to solve the following tasks: 1) to restore the main creative impulses of the writer; 2) to characterize the formation of his cognitive strategy, which covers the mythologized past and the tragic events of the Soviet era; 3) to clarify a number of definite functions of the “little man” that have not yet been noted by the interpreters of the novel; 4) to highlight the mission of the “little man” that reveals Okudzhava’s ethical principle. We consider the artist’s inconsistency in stylizing the thinking of the “little man” (the lead character and his psychological counterpart – the narrator) as a means of involving the contemporary reader in a dispute about the conflicts of the past inherited by the 20th century. We show the fundamental novelty of the embodiment of the Decembrist theme in the mirror of the perception of literary critics of the 1970s, who remained in the grip of the myth of the first Russian revolutionaries in its two varieties (official or alternative, cultivated by freethinkers), which interfered with the proper perception of the status of the “little man” next to a historic figure. Our task is to show that the merciful ethics of the artist, compassionate to the sufferer, soften Okudzhava’s civic intransigence towards the ideology of Pestel, whose state utopia became a Soviet reality; thus, we substantiate the regularity of the election of the “little man”, who himself needs indulgence, to the role of the spokesman for Pushkin’s commandment of “mercy to the fallen”. We trace the bold development in Okudzhava’s novel of the classical tradition of the “little man” experiencing his own drama of the “weak heart”. The echoes of Avrosimov’s fantasies about saving Pestel with Pushkin’s poem “Deep in Siberia’s mines...” are comprehended in the article as a sublimation of the author’s pain about the tragic fate of the Decembrists.

Published: March 2024

As the Western world’s policy towards China has been changing in recent years, the international public opinion, that China comes into contact with, is also deteriorating, which has a serious negative impact on forming the international image of China and on shaping soft power. In the context of the rapid development of modern information technology, sports events like the Winter Olympics are often accompanied by large-scale media coverage and propaganda, and it is important to deal with the negative coverage of the Olympics involving China in the Western media and to build a good national image through the Winter Olympics. This study focuses on the specific content of Western media reports on China during the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics cycle, and summarizes and analyzes the characteristics of “distorted facts”, “far-fetched” and “prominent political demands” in the negative reports on China in the Western media during the Winter Olympics. Based on the importance of guiding international public opinion and covering by media of such large sporting events as the Olympic Games, it is urgent and necessary to improve China’s international public opinion crisis response mechanism and enhance national and international media capacity. In this regard, this paper proposes four specific response strategies: strengthening the international communication capacity of mainstream media, enhancing the role of the government in guiding and making decisions, strengthening cooperation with international media; and making full use of our own media platforms.

Published: March 2024

This scientific article explores the prospects for the development of smart contracts in the Russian Federation, considering them as a means of fulfilling obligations. Given the lack of legal consolidation of blockchain technology in Russia, the authors present the concept of the “digital ruble” platform, developed by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, as an alternative to blockchain for the implementation of smart contracts. The structure of the article includes the main elements of the organization of smart contracts and the regulation of civil law relations, such as smart contracts, the digital ruble platform, the smart contract system and contracts directly concluded by the parties. Smart contracts are digital agreements that are automatically executed when certain conditions occur. They have a huge potential to improve the efficiency and reliability of civil law relations. This article discusses the prospects of using smart contracts in the Russian Federation using the digital ruble platform in light of the current lack of a legal framework for blockchain technology.

Published: March 2024

Deciphering the signals in a movie trailer is undertaken to comprehend how viewers or learners receive the conveyed meanings. The objective of this study is to (1) analyze the symbols present in the "Confession of a Shopaholic" movie trailer and (2) disclose the description of denotation, connotation and myth in the “Confession of a Shopaholic” movie trailer. The primary dataset for this study was the trailer for the film 'Confession of a Shopaholic'. This study employed Roland Barthes' theoretical framework to analyze and establish connections between the signs and the narrative of the trailer. The use of the Barthes approach facilitates the examination of dynamic communication in audio-visual content, and a semiotic analysis was conducted to accomplish the predetermined goals of this study. The research identified a total of six pieces of data included in the trailer and provided detailed explanations of their denotation, connotation, and mythological significance. The study of signals and myths in this research aims to bridge the gap between the established framework and other audio-visual media. Although signals in other domains are important as well, it is highly recommended to do a more comprehensive analysis just on movie trailer outcomes for comparative purposes.

Published: March 2024

In recent years, huge progress has been made in the design and operation of cochlear implants. The published literature notes that the quality of sound perception among cochlear implant users is severely limited. Usually, patients experience difficulties in difficult situations, such as speech perception in noisy environments or in a situation with several speakers. There are many factors, both technical and physiological, that complicate auditory perception in patients with cochlear implants. The main characteristics of auditory perception are the height and volume of perceived sounds. This article presents an analysis of the literature data on the features of auditory perception in patients with cochlear implants (CI). Existing studies show that the sound quality of CI users is limited primarily by pitch distortion and dynamic range compression. The most important characteristic of auditory perception is the frequency differential threshold, which is within two semitones, while participants with normal hearing detect a difference of one semitone. Low frequency resolution determines low speech intelligibility. New research should be aimed at developing promising methods to improve the quality of sound perception among CI users.

Os impactos socioambientais gerados pela agricultura têm exigido posturas mais sinérgicas entre as ciências que estudam e colaboram com o desenvolvimento do setor agrícola. Nesse sentido, a agroecologia apresenta-se também como uma inovação científica e tecnológica, favorecendo ações de planejamento ambiental regionalizado destinadas à agricultura. Objetivou-se encontrar definições sobre cartografia agroecológica e realizar uma proposição teórico-metodológica para o tema. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa de literatura e uma proposta teórico-metodológica, com base em teorias e práticas referentes ao processo de planejamento ambiental. Os resultados da revisão indicaram que ainda não havia sido formulada uma definição ou metodologia específica à terminologia. A cartografia agroecológica foi definida como uma ferramenta e ou instrumento de planejamento agroambiental. Foram propostos sete procedimentos metodológicos, que devem ser previamente discutidos em uma articulação social, participativa e sem estruturas hierárquicas, dando primazia a uma visão sistêmica e interdisciplinar do trabalho a ser realizado. Concluiu-se que a proposição deve estimular o desenvolvimento de projetos e contribuir com a construção do conhecimento agroecológico.

Autorzy serii w pięciu tomach podejmą wysiłek ukazania kolejnych etapów funkcjonowania miasta nad Łódką w latach 1945–1989, by w sposób jak najbardziej przystępny popularyzować wiedzę o Łodzi w kontekście PRL-owskiej rzeczywistości.

W książce pokazano różne aspekty funkcjonowania Łodzi i jej mieszkańców w gomułkowskich realiach lat 1956–1970, stałego rozmijania się potrzeb z możliwościami zarówno w sferze konsumpcji, jak też inwestycji. Opisano dynamikę zmian podczas tzw. postalinowskiej odwilży oraz rozwój administracyjno-społeczno-kulturalny miasta. Scharakteryzowano aparat partyjno-państwowy i mechanizmy jego działania, a także stosunki świeckiego państwa ze strukturami Kościoła katolickiego, w tym konflikt między tymi podmiotami na tle sporu o charakter obchodów Tysiąclecia Chrztu Polski. Ponadto na przykładzie rewolty studenckiej z marca 1968 r. omówiono niechlubny koniec „siermiężnego socjalizmu” na gruncie łódzkim.

Publikacja może być przydatna dla osób, które zastanawiają się, czy w Łodzi doby gomułkowskiej zostało coś jeszcze z ducha „ziemi obiecanej”, ile prawdy było w określeniu mówiącym o „czerwonej Łodzi”, czy po okresie 1956–1970 pozostało jakieś godne uwagi dziedzictwo.

Background: Chickpea is one of the most important and nutritionally rich pulse crops widely grown in India. Pulse beetle is a cosmopolitan insect pest that can cause significant losses in stored chickpeas. Host Plant Resistance, one of the most effective methods, being adopted for decades to identify the traits in the host plants that confer resistance against the insect pests. The present study has been undertaken to screen different genotypes of chickpea against pulse beetle and to understand the influence of physico-chemical traits of chickpea genotypes on the population buildup of pulse bruchid. Methods: Twenty chickpea genotypes including thirteen desi and seven kabuli type were screened against pulse beetle through free choice test at Department of Entomology, Agricultural College, Bapatla during 2020-21. Certain physical and biochemical parameters of chickpeas were assessed and the level of their influence on growth and development of pulse bruchid was estimated by correlation and regression analyses. Result: The desi chickpea genotypes viz., NBeG 452, NBeG 1129, ICC 86111, NBeG 49 and NBeG 776 with less oviposition, less number of adults emerged, less grain damage were found relatively with less test weight, total soluble sugars and more seed coat thickness, total phenols and tannins and the kabuli genotypes viz., NBeG 440, NBeG 789 and NBeG 833 with more oviposition, more number of adults emerged, more grain damage were found relatively with more test weight, total soluble sugars and less seed coat thickness, total phenols and tannins. Thus, test weight, total soluble sugars exhibited significant positive correlation with growth and damage parameters of pulse beetle, while the seed coat thickness, total phenols and tannins exhibited significant negative correlation. Despite the fact that the biochemical components of the genotypes of chickpea varied significantly, they had little effect on the development of pulse bruchid.

One of those means is language games. This research aimed to reveal the effect of using language games in learning Arabic rhetoric among learners of Arabic language of other languages from their point of view. Also, describe the evaluation of their impressions and monitor their perceptions towards employing language games in their learning. The research adopted the quantitative approach using the questionnaire tool, and a questionnaire Bicen Kocakoyun translated into Arabic was adopted in the study of Aboukhateta. This questionnaire consisted of twenty-seven questions according to the five-year Likert scale, and it included three axes: the impact of language games on mastering Arabic rhetoric from the student's point of view, evaluating students' impressions of language games, and monitoring their perceptions about language games in learning Arabic rhetoric. This questionnaire was distributed to thirty Malaysian students of Arabic-speaking non-native speakers at Yarmouk University in a purposeful manner. The research results showed that non-native Arabic language learners see a significant impact of using language games in learning Arabic rhetoric and that these learners have good impressions and perceptions about employing language games in learning Arabic rhetoric.

Linguistic competency improvement strategies need to be developed to face challenges. This study aims to analyze Arabic language learning in Islamic universities in Indonesia, focusing on teaching methods, challenges faced, and strategies to improve students' linguistic competence. This study uses a qualitative approach by collecting data through classroom observation, interviews with Arabic teachers, and analysis of related documents in Indonesian Islamic University (UII), State Islamic University (UIN) Jakarta, State Islamic University (UIN) Yogyakarta, State Islamic University (UIN) Sunan Kalijaga, State University of Malang (UM), Yogyakarta State University (UNY). The results showed that the teaching methods commonly used in Islamic universities in Indonesia are lecture methods, discussion methods, demonstration methods, and problem-solving methods. However, the use of the lecture method is still dominant in the context of Arabic language learning. Challenges faced by students in learning Arabic include the complexity of Arabic grammar, time constraints, lack of resources, and a dense curriculum. Strategies identified include using educational technology in Arabic language learning, teacher training and mentorship, extracurricular programs involving the Arabic language, and an emphasis on developing speaking and writing skills in Arabic.
