"One Center, Two Integrations, Four Dimensions" Course Teaching Model Construction: A Case Study of the "English for Specific Purposes" Course at Inner Mongolia University of Technology
Authors: Bai Zongtao
Published: November 2024

With the deepening of globalization and changes in vocational education demands, the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course plays an increasingly important role in higher education, especially in cultivating students' professional English skills and cross-cultural communication abilities. However, traditional ESP teaching models overly emphasize theoretical knowledge, neglecting students' individual needs, which leads to poor learning outcomes. In response, this paper proposes a "One Center, Two Integrations, Four Dimensions" teaching model, centered on students, which integrates professional knowledge with language skills and organically combines online and offline teaching. The aim is to comprehensively enhance students' language proficiency, professional competence, cross-cultural communication skills, and innovative thinking. This paper details the design concept of this teaching model and its implementation path in the "English for Specific Purposes" course at Inner Mongolia University of Technology, as well as a diversified evaluation system and a resource integration plan involving collaboration between teachers and industry experts. This study provides new theoretical and practical references for optimizing the teaching model of ESP courses.

Authors: Luan Yuguo
Published: November 2024

With the continuous development of physics and advancements in educational technology, traditional teaching models for university physics experiment courses have gradually revealed issues such as fragmented knowledge points and disconnection between theory and practice. To enhance students' systematic understanding and comprehensive application of knowledge, knowledge graphs have been introduced as an emerging educational tool within the physics experiment curriculum system. This paper analyzes the current application of knowledge graphs in physics experiment teaching, proposes new pathways for constructing experimental courses based on knowledge graphs, and designs a systematic knowledge graph curriculum system in response to the needs of student autonomous learning and teaching assessment. The study shows that knowledge graphs significantly enhance the integration of physics experiment knowledge, improve students' self-directed learning abilities, and increase teaching effectiveness. Future developments will further promote innovation and advancement in physics experiment teaching through the integration of artificial intelligence, big data, and other technologies.

Authors: Obaydul Haq  , Shahnaj Parvin
Published: November 2024

In the context of Bangladesh, there is no substantial research going beyond level of belief of mathematics teachers of technology use in teaching learning process. While belief influences to motivation, perception, intention, awareness and acceptance therefore, is has been assumed in this study that there must be some determinants of acceptance among school teachers in Bangladesh. Calculators and other technological tools, such as computer algebra systems, interactive geometry software, applets, spreadsheets, and interactive presentation devices, are vital components of a high-quality mathematics education. With guidance from effective mathematics teachers, students at different levels can use these tools to support and extend mathematical reasoning and sense making, gain access to mathematical content and problem-solving contexts, and enhance computational fluency. In a well-articulated mathematics program, students can use these tools for computation, construction, and representation as they explore problems. The use of technology also contributes to mathematical reflection, problem identification, and decision making. Unfortunately, in Bangladesh bringing technology in mathematics teaching is less studied and overlooked. This has led this particular research to conduct this study.

Authors: Md.Humayun Kabir  , Mohammad Abdul Mohit  , Mohammad Abu Eusuf
Published: November 2024

Bangladesh is one of a disaster prone countriy in the world. About 80% of coastal lands in Bangladesh are annually flooded during the rainy season. It is anticipated that Climate Change through the rise of sea level, will intensify flooding and inundation in the coastal areas of the country. Many geophysical, biological and social systems become imbalanced and are at risk because of climate change. Climate change is a main challenge for agricultural productivity which is anticipated and influenced to affect crop and livestock production by extreme events like drought, floods and storms. It will change the types and frequencies of various crops and livestock, availability of irrigation water supplies and the severity of soil erosion. Climate change risks can be distinguished into two classes.  Sudden arrival risks emerge quickly such as flooding or hurricanes and the chronic risks are very slow events that are noticeable by society such as drought or sea level rise. Because of this climate change, social threat focuses on those demographic and socioeconomic factors that increase the impacts of hazard events on local populations (Tierney et al. 2001; Heinz Center 2002).  Within the above backdrop, this paper intends to focus the impacts of climate change on agriculture, livestock and living environment of the people in the southeastern part of Bangladesh spesially Jessore, Satkhira, Khulna Mongla Bagerhat and Sundarban.

Authors: Ridwan Haris
Published: November 2024

The issue of school-based mental health has been discussed for long time as it is an important factor for a successful educational system. Unfortunately, there are still many schools who give it less attention due to lack of information and awareness. In fact, there are still many cases of mental illness in the school environment such as bullying, stress, anxiety, juvenile delinquency among others. The main purpose of this study is to explore teacher perceptions on school based mental health as being the main factor leading to a comfortable environment in a particular school. Using qualitative method, this paper examines an experienced teacher at the International Islamic School (IIS) in Malaysia. The data analysis reveals that school based mental health implementation is constructed based on three basic elements i.e. an appropriate curriculum, a healthy environment, and mutual understanding between teachers and students. These basic elements should really be considered to establish a healthy environment in schools.

Wilhelm Von Humboldt: A Critical Review on His Philosophy of Language, Theory And Practice of Education
Authors: Arlini Binti Alias
Published: November 2024

Wilhelm Von Humboldt was among those philosophers who used language as a tool to study the human mind and interpret human cultural differences. Humboldt equated language and thought as inseparable. His model of language can be summarized as follows: the character and structure of a language expresses the inner life and knowledge of its speakers, and that language must differ from one another in the same way and to the same degree as those who use them. Humboldt's approach to Allgemeine Bildung or well-rounded education was based on his own experience and lifelong learning process. The study of Humboldt’s work ‘helps to clarify the central problems and questions of recent educational theory as matters concerning all of us, and also help to resolve issues which requirefurther theoretical and practical analysis’ (Benner,1990)

Based on this notion, a course titled ‘curriculum and instruction' is introduced for the second year Education students (200 level students) at Umaru Musa Yar’adua University to equip them with two basic ideas regarding the field. First, to introduce them to the various definitions of curriculum, its domains, foundations, principles and most likely current and evolving issues to be considered in curriculum planning and development. Second, the course aims at bringing into the cognizance of the learners about the distinction between teaching and instruction; and how the two help teachers in delivering curriculum content. The course immensely helps to the extent that at the end of second year, majority of the Education students are able to define basic concepts in the field of curriculum; explain different methods of teaching and how they have paramount influence in terms of delivering curriculum content.
Party Politics and Institutional Internal Party Democracy in Malaysia
Authors: Moyenul Hasan
Published: November 2024

Internal party democracy shows an intensive examination of the thought, idea and demonstration of democracy within the political parties. Each political party stands for internal party democracy through a course of actions and decisions, made in relation to those which are affiliated with power and authority. In the case of Malaysia where internal party democracies are low level institutionalization where the absence of free and powerful internal conflicts minimize confrontational political culture. It is acknowledged that political partiescannot undertake their democratic activities if they themselves are not democratic in their internal undertakings. It is much more important to understand how the political parties offer themselves to the general voters. These functions show intra-party democracy as crucial for development of institutional democracy. Firstly, it supports a political culture where the democratic argument and collective ownership are in the decision-making process. Secondly, it is practiced party solidarity through the minimizing f of factionalism. Thirdly, it offers a reasonable internal conflict resolution framework and fourthly, it reduces pioneering and the discretionary utilization of power.Thus, the degree to which political parties can retain internal party democracy relies on the degree to which procedures of successful membership supports are formally practiced. It is basically actualized in the party’s authoritative rules and strategies.Therefore, the objective of this paper is to assess internal party democracy among the major political parties and their political culture and its impact on party politics in Malaysia. Finally, this paper concludes by explaining how the prevailing political culture is pushing the country to the brink of an abyss and discusses the way out as well. Methodologically, it is a qualitative in nature and mostly secondary data such as newspaper reports, observers’ reports, and research reports have been used to prepare this article.

Nobody does research without any objective.They do research for the needs of society and people neither for money nor for academic gain. Of course,there are some who conduct research just to increase institutional fame and reputation. In all cases, the thoughts and plans of the research do not suddenly arise in the mind of a researcher. They have to do a lot of studies and have a thorough understanding of the current and recent research and their topics. So first of all,theypossess a clearinsight, philosophical position and belief. Then the researchersobserves deeplytheir surroundings, society, country and nation and even the outside world through their eyes; then only various thoughts arise in their mind.Simply put even a small thought does not suddenly occur in a person’s head.Therefore, one has to create an idea through a method and process. So the same kind of thinking may not come intoothers’ mind. Qualifications and background make a difference in thinking from person to person. Hence doing research is a conscious cognitive creation which utilizes multiple resources, systems, methods, along with the involvement of stakeholders. Here is the foundation of the concept of creative research.

The Victim Compensation Scheme (‘Aqilah) under Islamic Criminal Law and its Compatibility with the Criminal Justice System in Bangladesh: A Critical Study
Authors: Mohammad Shahadat Hossain
Published: November 2024

Crime prevention, control and correction of the offender are the prime concern of each and every legal system. Islamic legal system is not exception to those common attributes. Islamic criminal justice contains exceptional punishment in which accused has given punishment and victim has given compensation according to the desire of the victim’s family member. Islamic legal system provides win win situation for both accused and victim. In comparison with common law system where a killer has been awarded death sentence if it is proven with reasonable doubt and victim’s family has gained nothing but mental satisfaction. In this regard, family losses an earning hand and they would have no means to lead their live in coming days. Islam, however, prescribes alternative where one can get compensation and lead a better life with their family. In this article the researcher examines the detail about ‘aqilah system of Islamic legal system and investigates the possibility to apply in our existing penal sanctions. The aim of this article is to explore the idea of victim compensation scheme clearly and address the law enforcement agencies to think about the scheme. It further aims to make understand a better crime control mechanism towards the learners of criminal justice arena. In this research, descriptive methodology is used to bring out the rational of the work. Further a literature review and analytical analysis of literature have been adopted for the completion of this report. Different books, articles, journals and websites have been consulted for the completion of this article.

It’s a fundamental human right.Education is considered essential for human development and attaining human rights, economic prosperity, social values, peace, and tranquility (Kira andBukagile, 2013; UNESCO, 2012). According to the Bangladesh education policy of 2010, there are three levels of education structure. These are - 1. Primary Level (class play – class 5), 2. Secondary Level (class 6 – class X), 3. Higher Education Level (Graduation and Post-Graduation). Accounting is the compulsory subject of business studies in class IX. This Subject relates to Accounting transactions, Accounting cycles, and mathematical Accounting problems. The curriculum and learning methods of Accounting aren’t similar to our job sector. There are many differences between the education system of Accounting and the job sector of Accounting. The curriculum and learning methods of Accounting aren’t similar to the job sector. It’s an excellent problem for the students. They don’t get a good job because of poor knowledge of the job field of Accounting sector. I try to discuss and explain the curriculum, learning, and teaching methods of Accounting and the problem of the curriculum, learning, and teaching methods of Accounting.
Beyond Colonization: Reimagining English And Indigenous Voices In Africa’s Linguistic Landscape
Authors: IBRAHIM ABU BAKER
Published: November 2024

This paper explores the enduring legacy of British colonization on the proliferation of English in Africa. It also critically examines dual role of the colonizers as both a catalyst for global integration and a relic of colonial hegemony. Through a meticulous review of both historical and contemporary academic literature, including seminal contributions from scholars such as Albaugh, Brock-Utne, and Makoni, this study illuminates the complex dynamics between English and indigenous African languages within socio-political, economic, and educational contexts. The analysis foregrounds the historical evolution of English from a language of commerce to its present-day stature as a global lingua franca, while also highlighting the nuanced challenges it poses to linguistic diversity and cultural heritage. The methodology employed integrates a critical examination of linguistic imperialism, the socio-economic implications of English dominance, and the potential of bilingual and multilingual education models to foster linguistic equity and cultural preservation. Findings indicate that English, deeply rooted in colonial history, remains a pivotal force in shaping contemporary African identity, governance, and access to global discourse. However, this influence is twofold; it facilitates international communication and opportunity, yet also risks overshadowing indigenous languages and cultures. The article supports the implementation of language policies that are sensitive to the complexities of linguistic variety. It promotes the idea of a multilingual African identity that recognizes the worldwide importance of English, while also actively protecting and revitalizing indigenous languages. This article advocates for a rebuilt linguistic landscape in post-colonial Africa that combines the advantages of English literacy with the rich cultural and intellectual heritage represented by Africa’s indigenous languages.??
Apprivoiser la mort de l’enfant par la photographie dans l’Espagne de la seconde moitié du 19e siècle. Étude à partir de la collection de la Biblioteca Nacional de España
Authors: Asselot Aliénor
Published: November 2024

La pratique de la photographie post mortem, qui se diffuse en Espagne avec la mise au point du daguerréotype (1839), puis notamment du « portrait-carte » dans la seconde moitié du 19e siècle, semble bien macabre aujourd’hui, d’autant plus lorsque les sujets photographiés sont des enfants, dont la mortalité reste alors considérable. Cette pratique constitue toutefois une manière comme une autre d’apprivoiser la mort précoce, qu’il convient de réenchâsser dans une histoire technique, intime, familiale et sociale déterminée. À partir de la collection détenue par la Biblioteca Nacional de España, à Madrid, cet article tâchera de mettre en lumière certaines caractéristiques, spécificités et usages potentiels de la photographie post mortem dans la société madrilène de l’époque.
Traduire le sociolecte des chauffeurs égyptiens d’après Taxi de Khaled Al Khamissi
Authors: Ali Mohamed Saad
Published: November 2024

Le transfert des faits dialectaux dans une langue-culture étrangère s’avère difficile, notamment si les deux langues-cultures en question ne partagent pas le même socle culturel. L’objectif de cette étude est d’analyser les problèmes du transfert d’un texte arabe dialectal en langue française. À partir d’un roman écrit en arabe, oscillant entre l’arabe standard moderne et l’arabe égyptien, nous allons tenter d’étudier la traduction vers la langue française de quelques faits dialectaux composant le sociolecte des chauffeurs de taxi égyptiens. Pour ce faire, nous le classifierons en trois catégories : proverbes dialectaux, expressions figées dialectales et expressions dialectales inspirées de la religion. Nous voulons examiner les stratégies traductives dont se servent les traducteurs pour en transférer les composants en langue française. Les exemples d’analyse portent sur Taxi, roman arabe écrit par Khaled Al Khamissi, et sa traduction en français, ayant le même titre, faite par Hussein Emara et Moîna Fauchier Delavigne.
Arnold Lobel in indirect translation: The case of Frog and Toad in Croatian
Authors: Andraka Marija , Milković Ivana
Published: November 2024

It seems that, for various reasons, indirect translation still occupies a marginal role in Translation Studies (see Pięta 2014) and it has not asserted itself as a research field in its own right. This paper discusses the role of indirect translation and mediating languages in translating children’s literature. The reasons for indirect translations in the Croatian context are explained. The process of indirect translation is investigated within the theoretical background of retranslation. Indirect translation is exemplified by Arnold Lobel’s story The Surprise (from Frog and Toad All Year), a story which has been translated into Croatian through the medium of German. The reasons for indirect translation are investigated as well as the effects of indirect translation on the final translated text. The article examines signals of foreignisation and domestication in the target text and the extent to which they can be attributed to German as the mediating language and German culture as the mediating culture.
Intralingual translation, cultural accessibility and the ethics of translation: The Volxbibel as a case study
Authors: Seel Olaf Immanuel
Published: November 2024

This article deals with the ethics of intralingual translation and cultural accessibility. Based on the analysis of five characteristic text examples of the Volxbibel, a German intralingual translation of the Bible which makes excessive use of local adaptive strategies and whose central aim is to make the Scriptures accessible to youngsters, it will be shown that cultural accessibility can only be achieved if the ethical dimension of semiotic translational transfer is taken duly into account. Methodologically, the analysis will be based on a contrastive pragmatic analysis of the Volxbibel and its canonical counterpart, the Lutherbibel. The results of the analysis reveal that ethically grounded intralingual translation can only be achieved when transfer actions are oriented, not only towards the translational skopos and the target-text, but, at the same time, respect the source-text author’s intention(s) and the source-text’s ideological and socio-cultural background. Finally, on the grounds of these results, a slight adjustment of Zethsen’s and Hill-Madsen’s criterial definition of translation is proposed, by explicitly integrating therein the ethical dimension. This would contribute to a more precise delineation of both intralingual and interlingual translation.
Ideologías y discursos sobre la traducción de El Principito: la recepción de las versiones andaluza y mallorquina en la prensa
Authors: Chilla-Valdespino Sebastián , Calero-Pons Àlvaro
Published: November 2024

El clásico de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, El Principito, es conocido no solo porque se ha traducido a multitud de lenguas, sino también porque, dentro de las mismas, se ha adaptado a diversas variedades geográficas, más o menos minoritarias y con mayor o menor tradición literaria escrita. Aunque tanto el español como el catalán cuentan con traducciones canónicas de esta obra, en 2017 se publicó Er Prinzipito andaluz y en 2019, Es petit príncep mallorquín. A pesar de que aparecieron con tan solo dos años de diferencia, ambas versiones provocaron reacciones opuestas en la prensa escrita y digital, tratándose, en algunos casos, de los mismos medios de comunicación. El caso andaluz generó un gran revuelo mediático, mientras que el mallorquín fue mucho más discreto. Además, los discursos que emergieron en los medios de comunicación tendieron a caricaturizar y descalificar el caso andaluz. En este artículo, estudiamos dos corpus paralelos de textos periodísticos, tanto de la prensa en papel como de la digital: uno sobre el caso andaluz y el otro sobre el mallorquín. El análisis de los discursos mediáticos nos permitirá dilucidar las ideologías lingüísticas y las implicaciones políticas que subyacen a los mismos.
Audio described comics in the museum
Authors: Asimakoulas Dimitris
Published: November 2024

Audio Description is typically used to describe the visual aspects of various cultural products in the creative industries: performed plays, films, sports matches, art gallery and museum items. Such descriptions offer alternative sensory input for blind or partially sighted audiences and have been the staple of research in Audiovisual Translation Studies. There are, however, rather few studies focusing on museum environments and none that examine the niche area of comic art. This article addresses such a gap in two ways. First, it explores comics from an audiovisual translation/accessibility perspective. Second, it reports findings from a pilot study of accessible comic art where the views of selected professionals (curator, comic artists, audio describer) were collected, descriptions for three comics were commissioned and the responses of blind visitors to a comic art museum were gauged. The audio described comics—not without their limitations, as will be shown—are the result of a contingent collaboration of actors in the space of the museum.
International Sign conference interpreters as a Community of Practice
Authors: de Wit Maya , Crasborn Onno , Napier Jemina
Published: November 2024

Conference signed language interpreters traditionally work between their national sign language and the national spoken or written language. During their careers, interpreters may add other spoken or signed languages to their repertoire. Some also acquire International Sign (IS) as a working language and interpret between IS and other signed and spoken languages. Being highly context dependent, IS has limited conventions and there is no established educational path toward learning to interpret IS. Generally, the acquisition of IS by any signer happens through interaction with signers of other signed languages. In this article, we explore the concept of IS conference interpreters as a Community of Practice (CoP), where novices acquire and experienced IS interpreters further their IS interpreting competences through situated learning. Such learning in practice may ultimately lead to the development of interpreting expertise and expert performance in IS conference interpreting. We present new data from a 2019 global survey of IS conference interpreters and follow-up interviews with eleven selected survey respondents. The results of our study suggest that there is indeed a CoP of IS conference interpreters and that it is essential for individual interpreters to participate in that community to develop the required competences and professional practices.
Interpreters’ choice of style in interpreted lawyer-client interviews: An ethnographic approach
Authors: Xu Han
Published: November 2024

While professional interpreters are trained to interpret in direct speech style, using the “direct interpreting approach” (Hale 2007), studies show that some interpreters deviate from this style, with implications for their role performance. Few of these studies, however, have examined the interpreters’ style choice in relation to their professional qualifications and ethics. Drawing on data from an ethnographic investigation of interpreted lawyer-client interviews in Australia, this study explores interpreters’ choice of interpreting style in line with their professional qualifications, the reasons behind their choice and the implications for their role performance. It found that trained interpreters used direct speech consistently and understood the rationale behind this ethical requirement. Untrained interpreters either ignored this norm or had difficulty adhering to direct speech style and its associated interpreting approach in a consistent manner. They shifted to reported speech on various occasions to achieve different communication purposes, some of which indicate their assumption of roles not stipulated in their professional ethics. The untrained interpreters’ lack of compliance with the normative practice relates to their inadequate understanding of some aspects of the interpreter’s ethical role.
« Je vois des morts »… Quand les fantômes enquêtent (River, Beau Rivage, Beau Séjour, Balthazar…)
Authors: Casta Isabelle-Rachel
Published: November 2024

Les codes du filmage spectral ont évolué en quelques années, spécialement en régime policier. Le code qui a longtemps prévalu recourait à des surimpressions, à des halos iridescents; or les cinéastes et les télécinéastes d’aujourd’hui ne recourent plus à ces subterfuges et alignent indifféremment acteurs incarnant les morts et ceux incarnant les vivants, dans une similitude troublante de représentation. Ces nouvelles visualités marquent-elles une rupture esthétique majeure? En effet, le surprenant n’est pas tant la présence des spectres (ils sont consubstantiels au cinéma), mais le genre : la fonctionnalité pragmatique du « polar » accentue l’étrange étrangeté de ces présences (in)visibles pour certains personnages, sans les effets spéciaux qui signalaient jadis l’irruption du surnaturel.
D’Aichi à Montréal : coup de projecteur sur le nouveau Cadre mondial de la biodiversité
à l’horizon 2030
Authors: Ait-Aissi Paillon Nora
Published: November 2024

La 15e réunion de la Conférence des Parties à la Convention sur la
diversité biologique qui s’est tenue à Montréal en décembre 2022 a abouti à l’adoption
d’un nouveau plan stratégique à l’horizon 2030, intitulé Cadre mondial de la
biodiversité Kunming-Montréal. Prenant le relais des Objectifs d’Aichi venus à
échéance en 2020, ce programme d’action, accueilli dans un climat d’euphorie, cristallise
tous les espoirs quant à la mise en oeuvre de politiques nationales ambitieuses et intégrées
susceptibles de répondre aux multiples défis concourants au déclin de la biodiversité. Axé
sur une plus grande reconnaissance des droits humains et ceux des communautés autochtones
ainsi que sur une approche de travail participative et inclusive, le nouveau cadre mondial
doit favoriser la réalisation des objectifs de développement durable et nous permettre de
vivre en harmonie avec la nature d’ici 2050. Dans le cadre de la présente contribution,
l’auteure explore les potentialités et les faiblesses, de nature factuelle et juridique,
entourant la réalisation des objectifs et des cibles multisectorielles autour desquelles
s’articule ce cadre mondial.
Integrating Project-Based Learning in a Quality Management Course: Implementation Process and Students’ Perception
Authors: Belimane Wissam
Published: November 2024

Contemporary students are no longer interested in traditional courses based on the transmission and memorization of theoretical knowledge. Instead, they are looking to apply this knowledge and become more operational in order to facilitate their professional integration. In response to these evolving dynamics, teachers are compelled to develop new teaching practices and introduce effective approaches that encourage students to take an active role in their learning process. One notable approach to addressing these needs is Project-Based Learning (PBL). This research presents a case study of using PBL as a pedagogical method in higher education. It aims to integrate the PBL approach into a Quality Management course and then evaluate its effectiveness and effects as perceived by students. The methods employed were document analysis and a questionnaire survey. The results showed that the PBL approach was implemented in five main steps: identification, design and planning, group constitution, realization, and evaluation. This approach was perceived as effective regarding the activities provided and the teacher’s role, and had positive effects on helping students improve some life skills such as creativity, autonomy, communication and decision-making. However, weaknesses were reported, including a lack of time and insufficient collaboration within groups.

Many people, and particularly individuals with Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (AD(H)D), find it difficult to maintain attention during classroom learning. However, traditional paradigms used to evaluate attention do not capture the complexity and dynamic nature of real-life classrooms. Using a novel Virtual Reality platform, coupled with measurement of neural activity, eye-gaze and skin conductance, here we studied the neurophysiological manifestations of attention and distractibility, under realistic learning conditions. Individuals with AD(H)D exhibited higher neural responses to irrelevant sounds and reduced speech tracking of the teacher, relative to controls. Additional neurophysiological measures, such the power of alpha-oscillations and frequency of gaze-shifts away from the teacher, contributed to explaining variance in self-reported AD(H)D symptoms across the sample. These ecologically-valid findings provide critical insight into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying individual differences in the capacity for sustained attention and the proneness to distraction and mind-wandering, experienced in real-life situations.
Caspases promote cell proliferation after necrosis
