HUBUNGAN TRADISI BRUNEI DENGAN BORNEO UTARA: TINJAUAN TERHADAP FAKTOR KEMEROSOTAN PENTADBIRAN KESULTANAN BRUNEI PADA ABAD KE-19
Authors: Awang Jambol Dg. Junaidah
Published: June 2023

AbstrakMakalah ini membincangkan tentang latar belakang awal pemerintahan Kesultanan Brunei dan perkembangan pengaruhnya di Kepulauan Borneo yang dilihat telah mencorakkan pensejarahan masyarakat Melayu Brunei di Borneo Utara. Kajian ini akan menganalisis tentang hubungan tradisi Brunei dengan Borneo Utara yang akan dibahaskan melalui dua garis waktu iaitu zaman kemuncak dan zaman kemerosotan pemerintahannya. Kedua-dua garis waktu ini sangat penting dalam mendeskriptifkan kehidupan sosiopolitik masyarakat Melayu Brunei di Borneo Utara kerana pengukuhan kuasa dan pengaruh Kesultanan Brunei dilihat bukan sahaja terletak pada hubungan tradisi Kesultanan Brunei dengan masyarakat di wilayah naungannya malah hubungan tersebut telah diperkuatkan lagi dengan keberadaan masyarakat Melayu Brunei di Borneo Utara yang berperanan menyebar luaskan tentang kekuatan serta kedaulatan Kesultanan Brunei di wilayah berkenaan. Makalah ini akan memberikan tumpuan khusus kepada hubungan tradisi Brunei dengan Borneo Utara yang akan dinilai melalui pelaksanaan sistem pentadbiran Kesultanan Brunei di Borneo Utara sebelum datangnya kuasa barat yang akhirnya membawa kepada kemerosotan keseluruhan empayarnya pada akhir abad ke-19.

AbstractThis article discusses the earlier history of the Brunei Sultanateâ€™s government as well as the growth of its influence within the Borneo Archipelago that had evidently played a major role in shaping the history of the Brunei Malays in North Borneo. This research investigates the traditional relations between Brunei and North Borneo within two-time frames; during the time when the Sultanate reaches its zenith and during the decadence of its reign. These two time frames are important as they help describe the North Borneoâ€™s Brunei Malaysâ€™ sociopolitical; the establishment and spread of power and influence of the Sultanate was visible not only in its traditional relations with the people within its territory, they can also be perceived in the presence of the Brunei Malay communities in North Borneo, which helped to further strengthen the Sultanateâ€™s authority and its sovereignty. This paper will focus on the traditional relations between Brunei and North Borneo through the analysis of the implementation of the Sultanateâ€™s Administration in North Borneo before the emergence of Western powers that inevitably lead the Sultanate to its decline at the end of the 19th century.

Penulisan ini meneliti tentang amalan perkahwinan campur antara masyarakat India dengan masyarakat etnik tempatan semasa di bawah pentadbiran Syarikat Borneo Utara British (SBUB). Berpandukan kaedah sejarah, kajian ini cuba melihat sejarah proses migrasi masyarakat India yang berlaku secara berperingkat dan  sistematik yang berlaku di bawah SBUB. Perkembangan migrasi masyarakat India ke Sabah membawakepada fenomena amalgamasi sosial. Wujud entiti perkahwinan campur hasil daripada proses asimilasi antara kumpulan etnik majoriti dengan kumpulan etnik imigran di negeri Sabah. Makalah membincangkan tigaaspek, iaitu perkembangan migrasi awal masyarakat India ke Sabah, faktor penggalak kepada amalan perkahwinan campur India-etnik tempatan Sabah, dan kesan perkahwinan campur terhadap identiti antara India dan etnik tempatan. Pemahaman kepada perkembangan migrasi masyarakat India ini adalah penting untuk memahami fenomena amalgamasi sosial masyarakat India di Sabah.

 

This article examines the practice of marriage between the Indian community and the local ethnic community under the British North Borneo Company (BNBC) administration. Based on historical methods, this study looks at the history of the process of migration of the Indian community in stages and systematically occurring under BNBC. The development of the Indian community migration to Sabah led to the phenomenon of socialamalgamation. The existence of marriage entities is a result of the assimilation process between the majority ethnic group and ethnic groups of immigrants in Sabah. The paper discusses three aspects, namely the early migration of the Indian community to Sabah, the promotion factor to the practice of interracial marriage of Indian-ethnic Sabah, and the impact of marriage on the identity of India and local ethnics. Understanding thedevelopment of the Indian community is important to understand the phenomenon of social amalgamation of the Indian community in Sabah.
SEJARAH PERBURUHAN: SISTEM PEREKRUTAN BURUH DI BORNEO UTARA 1881-1941
Authors: Ahmed Syaib , De Silva Maureen
Published: June 2023

Artikel ini mengulas tentang sistem perekrutan buruh yang dilaksanakan oleh Syarikat Berpiagam Borneo Utara British (SBUB) di Borneo Utara dari tahun 1881 sehingga tahun 1941. Apabila sistem perburuhan yang lebih teratur dan bergaji diperkenalkan, SBUB menghadapi krisis kekurangan tenaga kerja bagi menampung seluruh pengoperasian sektor ekonomi di Borneo Utara. Justeru, penguatkuasaan undang-undang telah membolehkan SBUB melaksanakan dasar imigrasi bagi menggalakkan kemasukan imigran-imigran dari luar. Oleh kerana SBUB sangat bergantung kepada penggunaan buruh Cina dan Jawa, maka sistem perekrutan buruh di Borneo Utara dilihat kompleks kerana melibatkan pihak pentadbiran SBUB, Kerajaan Kolonial luar dan agensi perekrutan. Kajian ini bertujuan menganalisis sistem perekrutan yang digunakan ke atas buruh Cina, buruh Jawa dan buruh tempatan dengan mengambil kira peranan kerajaan kolonial dan agensi perekrutan, sebagai badan yang mengawal selia seluruh organisasi perekrutan di Borneo Utara. Penulisan ini dibuat berdasarkan sumber yang diperoleh dari buku, artikel jurnal, internet dan sumber-sumber rasmi dari Arkib Negeri Sabah seperti akhbar British iaitu British North Borneo Herald (BNBH), fail-fail rekod Borneo Utara (North Borneo Central Archive, Miscellaneous Files Series) dan Warta Kerajaan Borneo Utara (Official Gazette).

SIMBOLIK MOTIF-MOTIF TATU TRADISIONAL MASYARAKAT KAUM IBAN DI LUBOK ANTU, SRI AMAN, SARAWAK
Authors: Saging Sylvia , Baco Zainuddin
Published: June 2023

Tatu tradisional Iban dianggap sebagai simbol suci yang dapat menghubungkan kaum Iban dengan petara (Tuhan) dan melindungi mereka daripada gangguan roh jahat. Pada zaman dahulu, masyarakat Iban menerima tatu sebagai ganjaran dan ilustrasi perjalanan hidup mereka. Tatu sebenarnya merupakan sebahagian daripada ritual tradisional kaum Iban di Sarawak yang mempunyai hubungan kuat dengan adat dan kesenian. Tatu berada pada tubuh secara kekal sehingga menjadi penandaan yang tidak dapat dihilangkan sehingga kematian. Makalah ini memfokuskan tentang simbolik motif-motif tatu tradisional kaum Iban di Lubok Antu, Sri Aman, Sarawak. Penyelidikan ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif di mana tiga jenis kaedah pengumpulan maklumat yang digunakan menerusi temu bual, kaedah kepustakaan, dan melayari laman web. Hasil kajian ini mendapati bahawa kepelbagaian motif tatu tradisional Iban pada zaman dahulu bukan sahaja diukir sekadar hiasan semata-mata, namun setiap corak motif tersebut digunakan untuk tujuan tertentu dan mempunyai maksud yang tersendiri di mana setiap motif tersebut pada dasarnya mempunyai simbolik dan syarat-syarat khusus dari segi pemilikannya yang tidak boleh diukir secara sesuka hati. Walau bagaimanapun, peredaran zaman telah menyebabkan berlaku inovasi terhadap tatu tradisional di mana tatu Iban pada era moden ini tidak lagi diritualisasikan dan berhubung kait dengan unsur kepercayaan tradisi (animisme) seperti yang diamalkan pada zaman dahulu. Pada masa kini, kebanyakan masyarakat Iban terutamanya dalam kalangan generasi muda tidak mempunyai pengetahuan yang mendalam tentang sejarah tatu tradisional kaum mereka. Pengetahuan tentang dunia tatu kaum Iban pada masa kini menjadi penting kerana menjadi satu-satunya cara untuk memahami dan mendedahkan keindahan budaya kaum Iban, sama ada dari segi kepercayaan mahupun gaya hidup sebenar masyarakat Iban pada zaman dahulu.

miRNAs, cancer, and unconventional miRNA functions
Authors: BOZGEYİK İbrahim
Published: June 2023

MicroRNAs are non-protein-coding RNA molecules that control and fine-tune gene expression at the post-transcriptional level by negatively regulating their target genes. MicroRNAs mature into 22-nucleotide-long RNA transcripts that negatively regulate gene expression by inducing either inhibition of translation or degradation of mRNAs. Increasing evidence suggests that distinct signatures of microRNAs are a feature of human cancers. MicroRNA expression patterns have been linked to tumor development, progression, and response to therapies, implying that they could be used as prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers. Moreover, based on a growing body of research indicating that microRNAs may serve as tumor suppressive or tumor promoter functions, miRNA-based therapy against cancer has lately been utilized, either alone or in conjunction with current targeted strategies. One of the advantages of microRNA-based therapeutics is that they can target numerous components of signaling circuits involved in cell differentiation, proliferation, and survival. In this review, the current available evidence about miRNAs and their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential will be discussed. miRNAs may play chief roles in the development and progression of human cancers, offer great advantages in differential diagnosis, and can be therapeutically targeted.

Abstract. Iron and manganese are poorly soluble elements in oxic and alkaline solutions, whereas they are much more soluble under anoxic conditions. As a result, the formation of authigenic mineral phases rich in Fe and/or Mn has traditionally been viewed as diagnostic of global or local anoxic conditions. Here we reveal that some specific picocyanobacteria can biomineralize abundant, authigenic Fe(III)- and Mn(IV)-rich amorphous silicates under oxic conditions in an alkaline lake in Mexico. The resulting biominerals cluster as small globules arranged as rings around the division septum of cyanobacterial cells. These rings are enveloped within an organic, likely polysaccharidic envelope, and are preserved upon sedimentation. Based on their 16S rDNA sequence, these cyanobacteria were affiliated to the Synechococcales order. The high Fe and Mn enrichment of the silicates questions the systematic inference of anoxic conditions based on their detection. Moreover, this process scavenges iron from the water column, an overlooked biological contribution to the Fe cycle. Finally, it reveals a new case of controlled biomineralization of silicates by bacteria.
Evaporative controls on Antarctic precipitation: An ECHAM6 model study using novel water tracer diagnostics

Abstract. Improving our understanding of the controls on Antarctic precipitation is critical for gaining insights into polar, and global changes. Here we develop and implement innovative water tracing diagnostics in the atmospheric general circulation model ECHAM6. These tracers provide new precise information on moisture source locations and properties of Antarctic precipitation. In our preindustrial simulation, annual mean Antarctic precipitation originating from the open ocean has a source latitude range of 49–35° S; a source sea surface temperature range of 9.8–16.3 °C; a source 2 m relative humidity range of 75.6–83.3 %; and a source 10 m wind speed (wind10) range of 10.1 to 11.3 m s-1. The tendency of poleward vapour transport to follow moist isentropes means that central Antarctic precipitation is sourced from more equatorward (distant) sources via elevated transport pathways than coastal Antarctic precipitation. We find however this tendency breaks down in the lower troposphere, likely due to diabatic cooling. Heavy precipitation is sourced by longer-range moisture transport: it comes from 2.9° (300 km, averaged over Antarctica) more equatorward (distant) sources compared to the rest of precipitation. Precipitation during negative phases of the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) also comes from more equatorward moisture sources (by 2.4°, averaged over Antarctica) than precipitation during positive SAM phases, likely due to amplified planetary waves during negative SAM phases. Moreover, source wind10 of annual mean precipitation is on average 2.1 m s-1 higher than annual mean wind10 at the evaporation source locations from which the precipitation originates. This shows that the evaporation of moisture driving Antarctic precipitation occurs under windier conditions than average. This is the first time this particular thermodynamic control of Southern Ocean surface wind on moisture availability for Antarctic precipitation has been quantified. Overall, our novel water tracing diagnostics enhance our understanding of the controlling factors of Antarctic precipitation.
Coupled ice/ocean interactions during the future retreat of West Antarctic ice streams

Published: June 2023

Abstract. The Amundsen Sea sector has some of the fastest-thinning ice shelves in Antarctica, caused by high, ocean-driven basal melt rates, which can lead to increased ice stream flow, causing increased sea level rise (SLR) contributions. In this study, we present the results of a new synchronously coupled ice-sheet/ocean model of the Amundsen Sea sector. We use the WAVI ice sheet model to solve for ice velocities and the MITgcm to solve for ice thickness and three-dimensional ocean properties, allowing for full mass conservation in the coupled ice/ocean system. The coupled model is initialised in the present day and run forward under idealised warm and cold ocean conditions. We find that Thwaites Glacier dominates the future SLR from the Amundsen Sea sector, with a SLR that is approximately quadratic in time. The future evolution of Thwaites Glacier depends on the life-span of small pinning points that form during the retreat. The rate of melting around these pinning points provides the link between future ocean conditions and the SLR from this sector and will be difficult to capture without a coupled ice/ocean model. Grounding-line retreat leads to a progressively larger Thwaites ice-shelf cavity, leading to a positive trend in total melting, resulting from the increased ice basal surface area. Despite these important sensitivities, Thwaites Glacier retreats even in a scenario with zero ocean-driven melting. This demonstrates that a tipping point may have been passed and some SLR from this sector is now committed.
Improving whole building life cycle assessment software tools for decision-making
Authors:   , Goncalves Sartori Thais
Published: June 2023

This thesis explored how environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the whole life cycle of buildings is conducted across all project stages. Since building designers typically rely on software to make decisions, this thesis investigated the attributes that EIA software tools currently have or should have to provide a more comprehensible interface while delivering an accurate and reliable assessment. For this purpose, the research examined existing EIA software and surveyed software developers and users. Ultimately, this research contributes to a more sustainable building industry by guiding the development of EIA tools that effectively inform designers of the best environmental-friendly decisions.

The method includes an online stated preference survey distributed across urban and peri-urban areas, complemented by a wide-ranging review of prior global studies, descriptive and ordinal/binary logistic regression analysis, and partial least structural equation modelling. The findings were validated through qualitative study by interviewing transport experts. The research findings provide comprehensive insights to assist policymakers, transport planners and engineers in their policy decisions and system plans contributing to the wider uptake of ADRT technology solutions.
Investigation of Y-chromosomal markers for historical military identifications
Authors:   , Mitchell Melinda
Published: June 2023

Genetic information from World War One Australian soldiers’ skeletal remains found in mass graves overseas is often incomplete, complicating the task of identification. This thesis investigated alternative methods of identifying these remains; specifically, new methods interrogating genetic information inherited from one’s father were explored. Publicly available genetic information from an online database, as well as genetic information isolated from living individuals, indicated alternative genetic markers inherited from the father may resolve these identification cases. This research should aid in the identification of servicemen remains and provide important closure information for their families.

“Sabe que se han labrado muchas piedras del dicho jaspe”: La propiedad de las canteras de “Jaspe de Espejón” (Soria) en el siglo XVI
Authors: Alonso Mora Alba
Published: June 2023

Las canteras de calizas y conglomerados – “jaspe” – de Espejón (Soria) y Huerta de Rey (Burgos) esconden un valor añadido al hasta ahora impuesto por su utilización como piedra ornamental en grandes programas monumentales, entre los que destacan las catedrales de Toledo, Burgos y Segovia, El Monasterio de El Escorial o el Palacio Real (Madrid). Un análisis más amplio de los originales de los siglos XVI al XVIII, revelan su importancia en el proceso de estratificación de la sociedad del Antiguo Régimen, dado que la Monarquía, los Concejos de Huerta de Rey y Espejón y el Monasterio de San Jerónimo de Espeja lucharon por su control como fuente de poder.
Desestabilizar al adversario. El papel de la Monarquía Hispánica en los primeros episodios de la Fronda bordelesa (1649-1650)
Authors: Amigo Vázquez Lourdes
Published: June 2023

A mediados del siglo XVII, las monarquías española y francesa se enfrentaron militarmente por la hegemonía europea (1635-1659) mientras padecían graves revueltas internas, provocadas por las impopulares medidas de política doméstica que precisaban implementar para sostener sus guerras dinásticas. Así surgieron en Francia los tumultos de la Fronda (1648-1653). Este artículo tiene por objeto estudiarlos desde una perspectiva desatendida hasta ahora por la historiografía: el significativo papel jugado por la monarquía de Felipe IV en su intento de desestabilizar al adversario para debilitar su respuesta militar. El estudio aborda la reconstrucción y el balance de los primeros episodios desarrollados en Burdeos (1649-1650), que abrieron camino a la gran intervención hispana durante la Fronda de Condé (1651-1653).

“Diga v.m. al jefe que me saque cuanto antes”. Sobre formas de sociabilidad en el cuerpo diplomático español en el siglo XVIII. El caso de Bernardo de Iriarte y el conde de Fuentes
Authors: Pérez Melero Joaquín
Published: June 2023

El canario Bernardo de Iriarte (1735-1814), perfecto ejemplo de diplomático español de carrera del siglo XVIII y perteneciente a una conocida familia de ilustrados, coincidió en París con Joaquín Pignatelli de Aragón, conde de Fuentes, siendo este último embajador del rey católico en Londres e Iriarte primer secretario de embajada, entre 1760 y 1761. La salida de Iriarte de la embajada, que la literatura especializada atribuye a la declaración de la guerra hispano-británica de 1762, tuvo un origen muy personal que se constata en una documentación nada habitual en la Secretaría de Estado.

The catastrophic landslide on the Black Sea coast which destroyed the Roman town of Bisonе (south of Kavarna town)
Authors: Evstatiev Dimcho , Evlogiev Yordan , Nedelcheva Mariana
Published: June 2023

In the second half of the Ist century BC seismogenic landslide/rockfall tore off the front part of the Chirakman Cape in the western part of the Kavarna Bay. The rich quarters of the Roman city of Bisone slid down into the sea. According to data from underwater archaeology artifacts and walls of the settlement are found up to 80 m inside the sea. The paper considers the tectonic conditions, the geological-geomorphological structure of the landslide, the paleogeography of the coastal shelf during the Holocene and the hydrogeological and engineering geological conditions in the area. A reconstruction of the coastline and sea-level position during the catastrophic landslide has been developed. Stability analyses have been performed too.
Two hundred years eclogites and one hundred years of eclogite discussion
Authors: Kozhoukharova Evgenia
Published: June 2023

The first significant publication on eclogites (Escola, 1921) marked the start of the longest-discussed problem in petrology – the genesis and the place of eclogite formation and eclogite facies on the Earth. The mineral paragenesis of garnet, omphacite, rutile with rare inclusion of microdiamond in garnet requires conditions of T=800–1000 °C and P=0–60 kbar. According to the geothermal gradient and lithostatic pressure calculations, such conditions should exist at a depth of 60–250 km. The dominant nowadays “subduction-exhumation” hypothesis does not offer a satisfactory explanation of the idea of deep subcrustal crystallization and the actual finding of eclogites in the middle parts of the Earthʼs crust among the amphibolites. Contradictions disappear if it is assumed that they are formed in situ in the geotribological zones of friction within the crust, where kinetic energy is generated, providing the necessary high temperature and pressure.
Decolonialidade e a crítica ao projeto democrático
Authors: Pessoa Júnior José Raulino Chaves , Marques Roberto
Published: June 2023

A partir de breve contextualização sobre a definição do projeto democrático e as condições necessárias para sua institucionalização, discute-se em que medida a crítica decolonial pode apontar desafios contemporâneos para o ideal de participação política. Para isso, realiza-se um breve apanhado sobre a crítica pós-colonial e decolonial. A percepção da circulação de corpos marcados pela diáspora, expressos por marcadores de raça e gênero, em relações de subalternização herdadas da experiência colonial apontam a necessidade de pulverizar a ideia de nação e outros significantes abstratos capazes de invisibilizar experiências locais. Se levado à sério, esse desafio pode vir a adensar questões referentes a participação política de sujeitos até agora invisibilizados no projeto democráticos e suas categorias generalizantes.

Authors: Shaji Jessy , S. Parab Shamika
Published: June 2023

This study was intended to develop and optimize Tranexamic acid (TXA) loaded transethosomal (TEL’s) patch for the treatment of melasma. Upon oral administration, TXA is reported to cause gastrointestinal (GI) sideeffects and showed 30-50% bioavailability. Hence an alternative transdermal drug delivery system has been designed in the form of transethosomes (TEL). TXA loaded TELwere prepared by the cold method using Phospholipon 90G as a lipoid, sodium cholate as an edge activator, ethanol, and water. Further size reduction was done using a probe sonicator. For optimization purposes central composite design (CCD) was used. Phospholipon 90G and sodium cholate were selected as independent variables. Particle size (PS) and entrapment efficiency (E.E) were selected as a response. Mathematical equations and 3-D response surface graphs were used to relate dependant and independent variables. The optimized model pre-predicted and experimentally gave the particle size of 72nm, zeta potential of -16mV, encapsulation efficiency of 94%, with an enhanced transdermal flux of 32.85μg/cm2 /h as compared to a conventional topical cream. In vitro and ex-vivo studies were done to check the efficacy of the formulation and the results showed improved release of drug in TEL formulation as compared to conventional marketed formulation.

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of a pine tree energy supplement based on forest processing on milk productivity, milk quality, and methane emission by cows. The studies were carried out in production conditions on two groups of black-and-white cows (10 heads each) after calving. The cows of the control group received a basic diet which included haylage of perennial grasses, corn silage, legume hay, compound feed, and molasses. The cows of the experimental group, in addition to the basic diet, received a pine tree energy supplement at a dose of 150 g/head per day. The inclusion of a pine tree energy supplement in the diet of cows at the beginning of lactation led to an increase in the average daily milk yields with the natural fat content by 11.9-12.2% while reducing feed costs per unit of output. The feed supplement in the diet led to a decrease in methane emissions from cows; in the control group of cows, the maximum amount of methane was 446.6 liters per day, whereas in the experimental group it equaled 333.84 liters or 33.0% less. At the same time, the conditional net income from the use of the PTES amounted to 2,617.6 rubles for the period of the experiment per animal.

Obesity has become a global health problem. Orlistat is currently approved as an anti-obesity drug. However, its gastrointestinal side effects may limit its use, and with an alarming increase in obesity percentage there is a need to find new anti-obesity drugs. One of the most common approaches in treating obesity is inhibiting pancreatic lipase activity. In this study, the in vitro inhibitory activity of different polar solvent extracts of Pinus brutia bark against pancreatic lipase was measured using Para-nitrophenyl palmitate as a substrate. The ethanol extract showed the best anti-lipase activity with IC50 value of 0.07 mg/ml and was better than Orlistat. The anti-obesity activity of this extract was evaluated in vivo using high-fat diet induced obesity in wistar rats. Oral treatments with ethanol extract for 6 weeks precluded the increase in rats body weight and serum triglyceridesin in Pinus group similar to Orlistat group (positive control). Moreover, the adiposity index in Pinus group was similar to Orlistat group (p>0.05). However, the reduction in total cholesterol levels in Orlistat group was better than that in Pinus group (p=0.02). This study showed that ethanol extract of Pinus brutia bark may be useful as a natural anti-obesity agent. Further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms of action of bark extract on triglycerides and obesity.

Published: June 2023

The current study aims at investigating the effect of using deductive and inductive methods on students’ grammar in a Senior High School (SHS) in Ghana. It examines the effect of the deductive method on students’ performance in grammar and to find out the statistically significant difference between students taught using the deductive method and those taught using the inductive method. 100 students were chosen for the purpose of the study. There were two groups consisting of 50 students each. One of the groups is made up of the experimental while the other is the control group. The research instrument used is a pre-test and a post-test. The current study used quantitative approach to analyse data from control and experimental groups. Whereas the experimental group was taught using the deductive approach, the control group was taught through the inductive approach. Firstly, a pre-test was administered to both groups, after which the experimental group had a treatment stage lasting for four weeks. Data was collected and analysed through a t-test. The results of the analysis show significant differences between the means of the two groups of students’ scores in the post-test. The result is in favour of the experimental group (the group taught using the deductive approach of teaching). Findings revealed that there were differences in the mean grade point average of both groups, and statistically significant difference was observed. The questions that guided this study were: what is the effect of the use of the deductive method on students’ performance in grammar? And is there any statistically significant difference between students taught using the deductive method and those taught using the inductive method? There was, therefore, support for the research’s hypothesis. It was hypothesized that there is a good effect of the deductive method of teaching on students’ performance in grammar which resulted in the high performance of students in the experimental group.

The Strange Case of the You-Narrator: A Melancholic Postmodernity
Authors: Castelli Alberto
Published: June 2023

As a result of using the “you-narrator,” the text becomes a verbal experience in which, loyal to the postmodern tradition, a book is written within the book, the writer becomes simultaneously narrator and reader, and the reader acts as producer, thus offering multiple possibilities of reading. Furthermore, by imposing a depth of feeling and insight into the human condition, the second-person point of view generates an overall melancholic atmosphere, in terms of tones, content, and analysis.
