Out of the Box
Authors: Baines Lawrence

Baines describes a multimedia project utilizing visual and auditory prompts to help remedial students edit their scripted poetry projects. The project, Baines says, was “out of the box” of traditional process writing, which has a two dimensional framework that presupposes prior topical knowledge and mastery of syntax and vocabulary. By adding a third dimension - images, music, and other non-linguistic stimuli, which are more concrete and familiar - his students made significant advances in expression and were more enthusiastic about writing.

An overview of early childhood language skills, the implementation of the story method in learning and the implication of the story method on children’s language skill are analysed in depth. Using qualitative description, this study obtained data through observation, interviews, and documentation. This is done systematically to allow data collection in this qualitative research could explain what has been observed. The result of this study indicated that the use of the story method or storytelling in improving early childhood language skills in the learning process is carried out by teachers systematically. Therefore, not only early childhood language skills are improved, but also social interaction. The active involvement of early childhood in learning is a benefit that could be perceived by the parents of learners. The consideration of digital media in the story method is a concept that needs to be explored specifically in order to make the implementation of learning methods more diverse and further improve early childhood abilities.

Sleep Disorders in Shakespeare’s Drama: A Neuro-Literary Perspective
Authors: Al Abdullah Mufeed
Published: March 2024

This study aims to analyze Shakespeare's portrayal of sleep disorders from an interdisciplinary perspective, focusing on the aesthetic design of dramatic character developments that result in these illnesses. By combining literary, scientific, and psychological viewpoints, the study aims to demonstrate that Shakespeare dramatizes the cases of infected characters within the context of well-crafted plots, using figurative language rather than diagnosing their illnesses clinically. The study also highlights the hidden motivations and human causes that give rise to parasomnias, as well as the dangers to the community through the vivid plot flow. Neuropsychological studies highlight the consequences of these problems for the diseased person, but this study goes beyond that to illustrate the dangers to the community as well through the vivid plot flow, as in the case of Macbeth, adding a new dimension to the adverse effects of sleep.

KAZAK ÇİZGİ FİLMLERİNDE FOLKLOR UNSURLARININ İNCELENMESİ: KANBAK ŞAL VE DEV ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: SHAKHMAN Aruzhan
Published: March 2024

Özet

Kazak folkloru ve dünyadaki etnik kimliklere mahsus halk edebiyatının zengin ürünlerinden biri olan çizgi filmler, folklor ile sıkı bir bağlantıya sahiptir. Folklor, bir halkın düşünce, inanç, değer ve kültürlerini yansıtan, nesilden nesile aktarılan anonim hikayelerden oluşur. Bu hikayeler, mitler, efsaneler, destanlar, masallar ve tekerlemeler şeklinde olabilir. Bu hikayeler, insanların düşlerini, korkularını, arzularını ve değerlerini anlatır ve belirli bir kültürün mirası olarak kabul edilir. Çizgi filmler de hikaye anlatma araçları olarak folklorun zengin kaynaklarından yararlanır.

Günümüze kadar kazak çizgi filmlerinin bilimsel açıdan toplanması ve araştırılması, çeşitli teoriler bakımından incelenmesi oldukça zayıftır. Bu tür bir çalışma Kazak çizgi filmleri üzerine yapılan folklor unsurlarının incelenmesi bakımından ele alınan ilk çalışmalardan biridir ve bu açıdan da oldukça önemlidir. Çocukluğumuzdan beri izlediğimiz ve sevdiğimiz çizgi filmlerin sadece sanat eseri olarak değil, bunun yanında anlatıldıkları sosyal çevre ve şartlarla birlikte kültürel bir değer olarak da ortaya konulup Türk dünyasına tanıtılması Kazak halkına ve milli değerlerin gelişmesine, ve geleceğe aktarılmasına fayda sağlayacaktır.

Authors: Masrufa Binti , Kholishoh Binti , Madkan Madkan
Published: March 2024

The study aims to study the role of the family in the implementation of Islamic education for children through Islamic Parenting methods in Langenharjo Village, Plemahan Kediri. The Islamic Parenting Method is an approach that focuses on Islamic values in educating children. Research is carried out using qualitative approaches, and data is collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results show that families play a central role in shaping children's character and religious understanding. Parents or guardians have a responsibility to give their children an understanding of religious teachings, morality, ethics, and Islamic examples. Islamic Parenting is an effective means for parents to teach basic concepts such as faith in Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and Muhammad SAW as His Messenger, prayer (prayer), Ramadan fasting (fasting), zakat (infak), Hajj (sacrifice), and noble morality. The family is also the first place for children to learn the Quran and Hadith. Parents can read Islamic stories, teach values of goodness, and give positive examples in everyday life. Nevertheless, further efforts are needed to improve the understanding and implementation of Islamic Parenting methods in Langenharjo Plemahan Kediri Village. In conclusion, the role of the family is very important in the Islamic education of children. Islamic Parenting methods can be an effective means for parents to shape their children's Islamic character and strengthen their religious understanding. However, further efforts are needed to develop and disseminate these methods in society.

Actitudes, percepciones y conocimientos de los jóvenes estudiantes sobre los amorfinos y la cultura manabita del Ecuador
Authors: Vélez Macías Nerida Cildana , Rivera Solórzano Ana Teresa
Published: March 2024

Conocer e identificarse con la cultura manabita de Ecuador, y en particular con los amorfinos, es fundamental en el marco de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible. Esta agenda global enfatiza la importancia de preservar la diversidad cultural y promover sociedades pacíficas e inclusivas. Los amorfinos, como expresión poética tradicional de Manabí, no solo son un tesoro cultural que refleja la idiosincrasia, las tradiciones y la sabiduría popular de la región, sino que también fomentan la cohesión social y el respeto por la diversidad cultural. Esta investigación, llevada a cabo en el periodo académico 2023-2024, pretende identificar las actitudes, conocimientos y percepciones de los jóvenes de la institución educativa María Auxiliadora, cantón Manta, Ecuador, hacia la tradición oral, como los amorfinos, y su relación con la identidad cultural manabita. La investigación tiene un carácter exploratorio y descriptivo, con un enfoque cuantitativo mediante encuesta aplicada a una muestra voluntaria y no probabilística de 35 jóvenes bachilleres del centro escolar en mención. Uno de los resultados más relevantes ha sido el limitado conocimiento y el escaso interés mostrado por los jóvenes estudiantes hacia los amorfinos y, por extensión, hacia las tradiciones orales de su territorio, por lo que se requieren estrategias educativas y tecnológicas creativas para preservar la rica cultura manabita.
Creencias legas sobre las causas de accidentes de tránsito en una muestra colombiana
Authors: Salazar-Piñeros Fabio A.
Published: March 2024

Introducción/Objetivo. Las personas crean teorías espontáneas como una forma de darle sentido a lo que encuentran en su cotidianidad, cuando no cuentan con otras fuentes que les resulten satisfactorias. La alta frecuencia de los accidentes de tránsito son eventos que para los habitantes de muchas ciudades de Colombia y el mundo hacen parte de esa cotidianidad. El objetivo fue explorar las creencias implícitas que construyen las personas del común sobre las causas de los accidentes de tránsito. Método. Se realizó una encuesta a 300 habitantes de Neiva-Colombia para indagar sobre las causas de los accidentes de tránsito en la ciudad. Se realizaron análisis de contenido cuantitativo mediante minería de texto. Resultados. Además de las palabras clave, se identificaron catorce causas, de las cuales tres aludían a aspectos del entorno o el vehículo y once referían características o acciones del conductor siendo la más relevante la Imprudencia con una presencia en el 45% de los participantes. Conclusión. En concordancia con otras investigaciones, se demuestra la creencia de que los eventos adversos ajenos son atribuibles a las características del actor. La imprudencia hace una presencia marcada en el imaginario de las personas del común como causa principal de los accidentes de tránsito en Neiva. Nuevas investigaciones se abren paso utilizando las herramientas de la minería de texto y la ciencia de datos que se tornan prometedoras en cuanto a estrategias alternativas o complementarias a las técnicas tradicionales cualitativas para descubrir teorías legas e incluso representaciones sociales.

DETERMINANTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF US-ELECTRIC UTILITY FIRMS: BETWEEN COMPLIANCE AND VOLUNTARY REPORTING
Authors: Tadros Hani , Souissi Mohsen
Published: March 2024

Due to its great contribution to environmental pollution, the American utility industry is increasingly under a high level of scrutiny by its stakeholders. Proponents of the legitimacy theory, argue that poor environmental performers are likely to voluntarily disclose more environmental information to legitimize their operations and ‘put a positive spin’ on how they are being perceived. Examining a sample of US utility companies, we seek to revisit the underlying relationship between environmental performance and environmental disclosure and shed the light on key variables that may affect the extent of environmental disclosures. The study finds that there is no association between utility companies’ environmental disclosures and their environmental performance and that disclosure is equally motivated by economic and legitimacy factors. These factors lead firms toward more compliance with mandatory disclosure requirements in 10K and annual reports but on the contrary, to less voluntary disclosures in their sustainability reports.
MANUFACTURERS’ REPORTING OF ABNORMAL EXCESS CAPACITY COSTS: EVIDENCE FROM COVID-19 DISRUPTION AND SUGGESTIONS FOR THE FUTURE
Authors: Foster Benjamin P. , Blum Lisa M
Published: March 2024

This study examines if, and how, manufacturing companies reported “abnormal excess capacity costs”, as required by SFAS 151, in 10-Ks for 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. For 2020 and 2019, 1,256 manufacturing companies in the COMPUSTAT database contained data on inventory, cost of goods sold, and sales. Disclosure related to SFAS 151 adjustments in the midst of the COVID-19 economic slowdown was clearly lacking, with only eight companies disclosing the dollar amount of their adjustments in their 10-Ks. Thus, financial statements and10-Ks provided little information beyond what was disclosed prior to adoption of SFAS 151. Regulatory entities should require more direct disclosure by manufacturers about “abnormal excess capacity” costs, and SFAS 151 adjustments during economic downturns. We recommend that during periods of significant economic downturns, all manufacturing companies be required to disclose and explain their SFAS 151 adjustment decisions in the notes to their financial statements.

Europe’s Grand Strategy (The Common Security and Defence Policy)
Authors: Balakhadze Mamia
Published: March 2024

The paper explores the security challenges, national interests, and defense policy development of modern European countries, namely Great Britain, France, and Germany. Great Britain recently exited the European Union on February 1, 2020. Over the years, Britain has played an active role in the EU's security and defense policy. Therefore, we cannot overlook the significance of Great Britain, and while discussing it, we will first focus on the period before Brexit (until 2020) and then review the period after Brexit.

The aforementioned states are major players in shaping Europe's security architecture today. Working together and developing a common strategy is crucial for the security of the continent. The European security policy that was established after World War II is based on the theory of interdependence. I conducted the research using discourse analysis to examine the internal national security strategies of these states, as well as their relationships with one another and with international organizations such as NATO and the European Union.

The research initiatives have often delved into the challenges of academic writing creativity, particularly among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Even though studies have investigated the creativity in writing across different contexts including integrating technology through social media platforms; there remains a dearth of research to explore WhatsApp’s usefulness in improving EFL learners’ writing creativity particularly Arabic speakers’ context. Therefore, the present study attempts to discover WhatsApp as a useful tool to strengthen EFL learners’ academic writing creativity from students and teachers’ perspectives. This study, through descriptive survey research method and a set of instruments: a questionnaire and semi-structured interview, was applied to a sample of (N=50) undergraduate students and (N=20) teachers. According to finding, students opined a ‘high’ perception that WhatsApp significantly enhance their writing creativity in terms of spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar, whereas teachers do not see much advantage of WhatsApp in improving students' academic writing creativity. Also, the participant role (student, teacher) affected views about the usefulness of WhatsApp in enhancing writing creativity, and thus the responses were different based on the participation role. Additionally, the content analysis revealed the challenges encountered by the learners when using WhatsApp as a tool to strengthen their writing creativity. Based on the study findings, suggestions, recommendations, and implications are presented.

The article focuses on studying civil society organisations' participation in the decision-making and implementation by public authorities. The aim of the article is to analyse the involvement of civil society in Ukraine (using civil society organisations as an example) in public policy regarding national memory in Ukraine. The article employs a combination of descriptive methods with analysis and synthesis methods, inductive and deductive methods, and the dialectical method contributes to the comprehensive study of the activities of civil society organisations. Comparative and structural-functional analysis methods were used to study the activities and functioning of civil society organisations. As a result of the research, the main vectors of public policy regarding national memory in Ukraine were identified; the regulatory framework of Ukraine regulating the activities of civil society organisations and their participation in political processes was analysed; an overview of the instruments of civil participation in the public policy regarding national memory was conducted; using the example of the “Reanimation Package of Reforms” Coalition, the activities of civil society organisations in the field of national memory through partnerships and networking were characterised. It was found that the state implements a policy to promote the development of civil society in Ukraine aimed at supporting civic initiatives. To implement this, Ukraine has formed a regulatory framework constantly updated by socio-political challenges and needs. The country implements the National Strategy for the Development of Civil Society, adopts international norms and standards, and fulfils international obligations.

Problematic issues related to the legal basis of the activities of law enforcement agencies under the legal regime of martial law are caused by significant threats to Ukrainian statehood, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Ukraine. These aspects have become particularly acute after February 24, 2022, as a result of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, which determines the relevance of the topic. The purpose of the study is to determine the legal basis for the activities of law enforcement agencies under the legal regime of martial law in the light of the latest socio-economic, ideological and security issues. Such methods as analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, logical and legal method and forecasting were used in the article. Within the scope of the study, separate organizational and legal principles were singled out, which most widely illustrate the depth of changes in the activities of law enforcement agencies under martial law. The principle of situational implementation of new services to help the population is reduced to the fact that law enforcement personnel provided services to accommodate the population in shelters, provide drinking water and food to vulnerable groups, etc. The rule here is that for there to be an effective content in countering a separation, there is that need in revealing the prism's that exist which will be able in preventing the measures used in preventing armed group which to a greater extent will continue to be a threat in State's building a stable foreign policies.

Construir conocimiento desde Latinoamérica es uno de los principales desafíos en nuestro continente. Nos referimos a conocimientos relacionados con las propias preguntas, buscando aproximarnos a respuestas que se ajusten a las necesidades y características específicas de las sociedades que viven en esta región. Es crucial recuperar elementos identitarios comunes en los países latinoamericanos, naciones que se construyeron con historias similares, a la vez que con rasgos propios. Desde esos aspectos singulares se puede compartir una comprensión mutua. Para lograrlo, es necesario realizar un gran esfuerzo de descentramiento, cuestionando las categorías heredadas de Europa o de otros lares, no para desecharlas, sino para darles nuevos significados a la luz de nuestra historia.

El objetivo del estudio fue desarrollar aprendizaje profundo en estudiantes de educación básica, mediante proyectos de aula que contribuyan al mejoramiento de la práctica profesional y aprendizaje de estudiantes, en una escuela en la región de La Araucanía, Chile. Este estudio de caso es descriptivo, utiliza una metodología mixta para recoger información cuantitativa y cualitativa que profundice el análisis de datos y comprensión de resultados. Se aplicó a estudiantes un cuestionario sobre habilidades curriculares de pensamiento temporal-espacial, análisis de fuentes, pensamiento crítico y comunicación en la asignatura de Historia, Geografía y Ciencias Sociales (Ministerio de Educación, 2009) y una escala de observación que indaga sobre las acciones pedagógicas de aprendizaje profundo que el docente propone a los estudiantes (Pozo y Simonetti, 2018), ambas aplicaciones pre y postest. Al final se realizó un grupo focal para recoger reflexiones recurrentes de estudiantes sobre experiencias de aprendizaje profundo durante los proyectos de aula. Los resultados muestran mayor aprendizaje de estudiantes en habilidades curriculares de Historia, Geografía y Ciencias Sociales, que surge del cambio de práctica pedagógica para el aprendizaje profundo. En conclusión, diseñar escenarios de aprendizaje profundo brindan oportunidades desafiantes, colaborativas y contextuales que le permitan al estudiante liderar su propio aprendizaje.
