Students’ Experiences and Attitudes Toward Non-Native Korean Language Teachers at a U.S. University
Authors: Kim Hyein Amber
Published: December 2024

Recent research documents the interest toward native and non-native Korean teachers. Although previous studies have explored non-native teachers’ identities, efficacy, and anxiety (Kim, 2019, Kim et al., 2023), not much research has been conducted on students’ attitudes and experiences about learning Korean with a non-native Korean teacher, especially within the United States. To this end, this qualitative study examines the experiences and perceptions of three university students who have taken Korean language courses with a non-Korean (racially), non-native speaking teacher of Korean. The findings show how both real and imagined communities were important in learners’ language learning journeys and how learners’ attitudes regarding non-native Korean teachers were generally positive. However, learners also acknowledged that there may be benefits and challenges to having non-native Korean teachers. This study addresses the lack of non-native Korean teachers in the Korean language classrooms and calls for a more diverse faculty profile (which includes non-native, non-Korean teachers).

Published: December 2024

Drought is one of the costliest and most pressing threats to societies and economies affecting every continent around the globe and particularly drylands. Already today, droughts affect over 1.8 billion people annually hitting especially women and children and the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people. The use of nature-based solutions (NbS) to address drought and challenges such as climate change and loss of biodiversity is gaining traction. NbS involve restoring and conserving nature to address societal challenges and play a critical role in building drought resilience: to prepare, respond and recover, to increase resilience and reduce vulnerability and exposure. This report makes the economic case for nature-based solutions as part of a proactive approach to drought management. It presents evidence for NbS costs and benefits to show that proaction pays and elaborates transformational pathways to mobilize both public and private investment, strengthen necessary enabling environments and create scalable business cases for NbS to drought. The report supports UNCCD Decision 23/COP15 to examine and identify the financing needs and opportunities for drought risk reduction and resilience-building activities, including partnerships with the private sector.

Published: December 2024

Flame-retardant rigid polyurethane foam was prepared using a one-step method of all-water foaming in this paper. Following an experimental investigation, the optimum water consumption was determined to be 1.4 g, the optimum addition of tin laurate catalyst was found to be 1 g, and the optimum value of isocyanate index was identified to be 1.1. The rigid polyurethane foam, which had been compounded with MEG, exhibited an oxygen index of 31% at a concentration of 25 wt% and a carbon residue of 34.9% at 570°C. In contrast, the rigid polyurethane foam compounded with MEG' exhibited a residual carbon of 39.3% at 570°C. Both methods demonstrated a notable enhancement in flame retardancy, although this was accompanied by a certain degree of reduction in compression properties. In comparison to the aforementioned methods, the rigid polyurethane foam compounded with MEG' has a less pronounced reduction in compression performance and a superior flame retardant effect.

Holographic Technology in Stem Education and Training
Authors: Gangadi Reethvika Reddy
Published: December 2024

Three - dimensional (3D) holographic technology, like virtual, augmented, and mixed reality technology, is an emerging technology designed to improve learning outcomes in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. Holograms provide unique opportunities to enhance students' understanding of intractable concepts and processes using engaging visualization methods. Portable 3D holographic fans allow for the improved visualization of molecules, structures, pathways, and other STEM - related content that have the potential to elevate information acquisition in novel ways that extend beyond 2 - D presentations and textbook figures. While the potentiality of this innovative technology is exciting, adopting 3D holographic materials in the STEM pedagogical and research environment requires producing literary evidence to justify usage in specific contexts and sufficient guidance on safety protocols. A review of 3D hologram technology revealed an inadequate amount of efficacy research. Quantitative and qualitative research studies involving STEM majors, faculty, and researchers constitute the engine that will drive the utilization of 3D hologram visualizations in STEM undergraduate, graduate, and professional school classrooms and laboratories. The current article reviews relevant research findings and discusses the potential impacts of 3D hologram technology in teaching, research, distance learning, and medical contexts.

Authors: Yang Xilin , Zeng Zhen , Lan Qiang
Published: December 2024

The unique charm of Montessori pedagogy stems from a thorough understanding and research of young children, centered around the child, creating a "prepared environment" that guides children to work independently, stimulating their autonomous awareness, developing abilities such as independence, concentration, creativity, and social skills, and promoting comprehensive growth and development. The transition from kindergarten to primary school has always been of great concern. Everything in primary school is new, and how should young children face these new challenges? Children need to be prepared, possessing the necessary abilities before entering primary school, and Montessori pedagogy can bring certain value to this end. In Montessori classrooms, children work independently in a prepared environment, developing self-discipline and a sense of order. Mixed-age class learning is established to promote social development and find self-positioning. As children grow physically and mentally, they integrate and develop the experiences acquired during kindergarten, practicing better in primary school learning and life. Montessori pedagogy brings numerous beneficial impacts to Montessori children, helping them smoothly navigate the transition phase from kindergarten to primary school.

The Urban Themes and Stylistic Features in Vladimir Mayakovsky's Poem and Dziga Vertov's Film Man with a Movie Camera
Authors: Chen Shumin
Published: December 2024

During the political and economic revolution of 1917 in Russia, artists of different art forms were undergoing a turmoil of modernism and Western avant-garde movements. Consequently, experiments with new creative ideas and techniques were stimulated to produce art that echoed the ever-rushing pace of urban life in the modernised society. In the midst of them all, day-to-day existence of the ordinary people in the grand metropolis were depicted with fragmented vision in both Vladimir Mayakovsky's poem "A Cloud in Trousers" and Dziga Vertov's film Man with a Movie Camera. The common features and themes in different art forms indicate the collective urban experience of the masses in Russia during that turbulent period, which were certainly fascinating and worth on-going studies.

Authors: Hu Maojie
Published: December 2024

The issues on the law enforcement power of township governments has always been an important research topic of grass-roots governance and is of great significance to realize the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity. As a vertical allocation of administrative power, low enforcement power sinking to towns and villages can effectively solve long-standing problems such as "those that are visible cannot be managed, and those that can be managed cannot be seen" in practice. In view of the theoretical and practical difficulties faced by law enforcement power sinking to township governments, focusing on the predicament of the law enforcement power of township governments in practice, in this thesis, the current situation and problems of township governments’ law enforcement power were deeply discussed, and corresponding improvement measures were proposed to improve the law enforcement efficiency of township governments and promote the construction of grassroots rule of law.
Queen and Adaptation Theory: From Literature to Film in Purple, Hour, and Brokeback Mountain
Authors: Parkala Naresh
Published: December 2024

This article examines the dynamic interface between literary works and their film adaptations through the lens of various critical theories, with a significant focus on queer theory. It explores how adaptations preserve the thematic essence of the source texts while adding unique audio-visual elements that enhance the storytelling experience. Additionally, the paper discusses the historical resistance to film adaptations within literary circles, highlighting the bias against perceived technological intrusion into the purity of literary creativity. The broader implications of queer theory in analyzing both literature and film are elaborated upon, particularly in terms of depicting and normalizing homosexuality against a backdrop of heteronormative dominance. This exploration underscores the adaptation process as not merely a translation of text but as an enriching dialogue between the original and the adapted forms, challenging and extending the narrative and thematic boundaries of the source materials.
The “Ought” Involving Requirements of Rationality and the “Ought” Involving Reasons
Authors: Huang Yuchi
Published: December 2024

What we ought to do seems to be influenced by two different elements. One is our beliefs and intentions; the other is the requirement of rationality. There are, correspondingly, two approaches of explaining ‘ought’ statement, one goes the way that ‘ought’ associates an agent with something he has reasons to do, the other goes that ‘ought’ represents the rational requirement that demands agent’ actions to be consistent with her attitude towards propositions. In this paper, I try to analyze the grammatical basis and normative characteristics of the above approaches. I argue that the two approaches can be combined because our attitude to propositions requires us to produce reasons for action, and rationality ensures that we rationally get decisive reasons for our actions through a set of rational principles.

Published: December 2024

Tadabbur al-Quran merupakan suatu mekanisme terpenting dalam membangunkan modal insan khususnya dari aspek kerohanian seorang insan, sekali gus menghindarkan dirinya daripada terjebak dengan krisis dan masalah sosial. Justeru, golongan pelajar tahfiz merupakan golongan remaja yang sentiasa mendampingi al-Quran. Namun realiti kini mendapati bahawa pelajar tahfiz lebih menumpukan hafazan berbanding memahami makna ayat yang dihafaz. Berdasarkan kepada keperluan tersebut, tujuan utama kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk mengenal pasti masalah yang dihadapi oleh pelajar Tahfiz Model Ulul Albab (TMUA) tingkatan empat dan lima di sekolah Menengah Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) di seluruh Malaysia. Dapatan kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kuantitatif melalui edaran soal selidik yang dianalisis secara deskriptif kepada 300 pelajar tingkatan empat dan lima dari lima buah sekolah tersebut telah dipilih secara rawak untuk mendapatkan min dan peratusan. Data kuantitatif kemudiannya dianalisis menggunakan perisian Statistical Package for the Social Scienes 29.0 (SPSS 29.0). Hasil kajian mendapati nilai keseluruhan min berada pada tahap sederhana tinggi yang menunjukkan sebahagian pelajar menghadapi masalah dalam mentadabbur dan berinteraksi bersama al-Quran. Hasil kajian mengenalpasti bahawa antara masalah yang dihadapi oleh para pelajar adalah seperti pelajar lebih mengutamakan kelancaran berbanding kefahaman terhadap ayat al-Quran, pelajar memberi seluruh tumpuan terhadap hafazan tanpa tadabbur, pelajar tidak mempunyai waktu yang cukup untuk tadabbur, pelajar tidak mengambil tahu bagaimana cara untuk tadabbur ketika menghafaz al-Quran, pelajar menghafaz al-Quran hanya untuk menepati silibus yang telah ditetapkan oleh pihak sekolah, pelajar menghafaz al-Quran tanpa menghayati maknanya, pelajar tidak memahami makna ayat al-Quran yang dihafaz dan guru hanya memberi tumpuan terhadap bacaan dan hafazan sahaja. Oleh yang demikian, para pelajar dan seluruh pihak yang terlibat hendaklah berusaha menangani masalah-masalah yang dihadapi agar dapat membantu para pelajar dalam mentadabbur al-Quran seterusnya dapat merealisasikan matlamat dan objektif pendidikan tahfiz demi melahirkan huffaz yang cemerlang.

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), also known as glioblastoma is the most common form of brain tumor. Recent studies have reported that intranasally applied drugs can cross the blood brain barrier and reach the brain directly. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to prepare curcumin loaded intra nasal in situ gel-forming lipid nanoemulsions to enhance the in vitro and in vivo stability and the availability of curcumin in brain. Nanoemulsion composition was prepared to yield a formulation which was liquid at room temperature and can transform to gel at 37°C. The composition was again optimized by factorial experiments and analysed for drug loading efficiency, gelation temperature and pH. Among these, composition G4 was selected and particle size, zeta potential and PDI were determined. The shelf life of the product at room temperature (25⁰C) and 60% RH was found to be 11.7 days, and halflife was 58.5 days, which is much greater than that of the pure drug in solution form.

Curcumin is a natural polyphenol known to exhibit multiple therapeutic effects. Methods for the synthesis of curcumin employ complexing of acetylacetone with boron compounds, which protects the active methylene group. As the reactions are not optimal with boron-based complexes, alternative complexing agents for greater efficiency were explored. Amongst these, titanium dioxide and its nanoparticles offered superior complexing activity. This complex was prepared in situ and was characterized to be titanyl acetylacetonate. The reaction conditions were optimized with different solvents, catalysts, water scavenging agents and temperatures using the OVAT (one variable at a time) approach. We then utilized the statistical design of experiments (DOE) approach to optimize critical parameters that influence the yield and purity of curcumin. The optimized reaction conditions yielded curcumin exceeding 90 %, with a reaction time of 8 h, suggesting that nano TiO2 functions very effectively as a complexing agent.

A bridge is a construction  that connects two or more separate areas. Bridges owned by PT. Bara Alam Utama is located in Banjarsari, Lahat Regency, South Sumatra. This bridge is used as an alternative way to bring mining products in the form of coal to the storage station. The total length of the bridge is 110 meters. This bridge is divided into 3 segments, namely the first segment is the beam I bridge, the second segment is the steel frame bridge and the third segment is the beam I bridge. The beam I bridge has a length of 25 m and the steel frame bridge has a length of 60 m. This bridge system uses a composite system of a combination of concrete and steel frames. The planning includes the superstructure and the substructure. From the results of the sondir test, the abutments and pillars are not able to withstand the sliding bearing capacity, therefore piles with a spunpile type with a diameter of 80 cm are used. Bridge planning is guided by RSNI T-12-2004, RSNI T-03-2005, SNI 2833-2016, SNI 1725-2016 and other library sources.

O cigarro eletrônico (CE) foi inicialmente criado como uma ferramenta para auxiliar na suspensão do cigarro convencional, mas tornou-se uma nova forma de vício, especialmente entre os jovens. O uso excessivo de CE tem sido associado a lesões pulmonares devido à liberação de substâncias nocivas como metais tóxicos, compostos voláteis e espécies reativas de oxigênio. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a prevalência do uso de CE entre estudantes da área da saúde no Brasil. Foi conduzido um estudo observacional, transversal e descritivo, com coleta de dados por meio de um formulário aplicado a 503 estudantes de 55 universidades em 17 estados brasileiros. A idade média dos participantes era 22,4 anos, e a maioria (73,7%) era do sexo feminino. Entre eles, 16,3% eram fumantes e 15,9% já haviam usado CE, com 17,3% usando regularmente. Embora 65% tivessem conhecimento intermediário sobre CE, mais de 55% dos estudantes não receberam informações sobre o tema durante a graduação, e 83,5% nunca discutiram o assunto em sala de aula. O estudo concluiu que, apesar do uso significativo de CE, o tema é pouco debatido nas instituições de ensino, ressaltando a necessidade de maior conscientização.
Contractarbeid van Brits-Indiërs in Suriname als onderdeel van het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden (1873-1916)
Authors: Pahladsingh Aniel , Van Bockel Bas
Published: December 2024

Hoewel contractarbeid nauw is verbonden met het slavernijverleden wordt het vaak minder goed begrepen dan slavernij. Door te bepalen in welke termen we over contractarbeid kunnen spreken verbinden we er een moreel en juridisch oordeel aan. Dit kan bijdragen aan een beter begrip van wat contractarbeid eigenlijk inhield, en aan het maatschappelijke bewustzijn van deze periode in de geschiedenis die nog doorwerkt tot in het heden. De conclusie is dat er ten minste sprake was van verplichte arbeid, en gedurende langere periodes van gedwongen arbeid (dwangarbeid).

Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan mengajar guru melalui gestur yang humanis dan memesona yang didukung oleh Prinsip Tri Kaya Parisudha, serta untuk memaksimalkan kualitas pengelolaan sekolah dengan membuat website yang mencakup seluruh administrasi data siswa. Gestur guru adalah bentuk komunikasi yang dilakukan oleh guru untuk menyampaikan pesan tanpa menggunakan kata-kata, atau bisa juga disertai dengan ucapan. Gestur ini dapat terlihat dari gerakan tangan atau jari (misalnya acungan jempol), ekspresi wajah (seperti ekspresi serius saat menjelaskan sesuatu), tatapan mata (guru yang menatap siswa dengan hangat), dan gerakan tubuh. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini meliputi sosialisasi, pelatihan, penerapan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, pendampingan, evaluasi, dan keberlanjutan program. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian menunjukkan adanya kemajuan. Setelah dilaksanakan kegiatan pengabdian mengenai gestur guru yang humanis dan memesona berbasis Tri Kaya Parisudha serta observasi, terlihat bahwa guru-guru di SD Gugus Kapten Kompyang Sujana telah mulai menerapkan gestur tersebut dalam proses pembelajaran. Dalam hal pengelolaan sekolah, 70% guru telah mampu menggunakan website dan sedang berlatih untuk memanfaatkan fitur-fitur terbaru yang tersedia.
