АМЕРИКАНСКИЕ СИНОНИМЫ В ЯПОНСКОМ ЯЗЫКЕ
Authors: Владимир Михайлович Алпатов
Published: November 2023

Лексическая система современного японского языка делится на три подсистемы: ваго, канго и гайрайго. Ваго – исконные слова, канго – древние заимствования из китайского языка или слова, составленные в Японии из комбинаций китайских корней. Особый слой канго образовался, когда не имевшие до того письменности японцы заимствовали иероглифы (древнейшие памятники относятся к VII–VIII вв.), а вместе с иероглифами из Китая заимствовались и их чтения, подвергшиеся фонетической адаптации. В японском языке иероглиф, как правило, получал китайское, заимствованное и японское, подобранное по смыслу чтение (тех и других чтений могло быть более одного). Китайское чтение обычно соответствует корню. Большинство канго – книжные слова, которых много среди терминов. Их значение понятно в иероглифической записи, но не всегда на слух. Гайрайго – слова, заимствованные из западных языков начиная со второй половины XIX в. Большинство гайрайго заимствованы в японский язык из английского языка, они связаны с иероглифической письменностью. Количественное превосходство заимствований из английского языка стало еще более значительным в период американской оккупации и сохраняется до сих пор. Конкуренция синонимов почти всегда заканчивается победой американизмов, которые понятнее на слух, чем канго, но, прежде всего, распространение гайрайго отражает американизацию современного японского общества. Постоянна ассоциация гайрайго с современностью и престижностью, а слов иного происхождения – с отсталостью и бедностью. В том числе значительное распространение гайрайго заметно в рекламе.

Internationally, relatively few studies have been undertaken regarding research on non-specific oral burning pain, especially regarding the identification of possible causal factors. Knowledge in this field from a physiopathological and therapeutic perspective is recent, which supports the need for further study and the definition of the disease as an interdisciplinary syndrome. Deepening the research on the etiopathogenesis of burning mouth syndrome (BMS) would be beneficial to medical practice, as it would allow for appropriate therapy and an increased healing rate.
Más allá del invierno
: A Feminist Crime Novel
Authors: ROCHA CAROLINA
Published: November 2023

Since the publication of
La casa de los espíritus
in 1982, Isabel Allende has become a prolific writer of novels, a memoir, a collection of short stories, and novels for children and young adults. In her first novels, romance is mixed with the historical genre and elements of magical realism.
Más allá del invierno
(2017) is one of her most recent novels and one that so far has not been widely studied. For Kerri Muñoz it blends the testimonial genre with romanticism to criticize neoliberalism. For their part, Hoda Shabrang and Golnaz Karimi use Homi Bhabha’s concepts to propose that the three main characters have fluid identities. While I agree with both analyses, in this essay I explore the female characters of the novel, their parallelisms and interactions, and propose that even though Allende resorts to her well-known romanticism and depiction of Latin American historical events,
Más allá del invierno
also incorporates elements of the female crime thriller as it touches on topics of biopolitics, violence and care work in the United States.

Published: November 2023

Malaria remains an endemic disease in tropical regions, urgently needed the search for effective antimalarial agents due to resistance against existing drugs. This study investigated the potential antimalarial activity of pyridine-based chalcone derivatives against P. falciparum 3D7 and FCR3 strains. The chalcones were synthesized through a one-pot method using various pyridine carbaldehyde, resulting in yields ranging from 53.74 to 86.37%, and all products were characterized using FTIR, GC-MS, and NMR spectroscopies. Among the six chalcones tested, chalcone A [1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one] displayed the highest antimalarial activity with IC50 values of 0.48 and 0.31 μg/mL against P. falciparum 3D7 and FCR3 strains, respectively, and a resistance index of 0.65. Molecular docking studies highlighted the interaction of the carbonyl group of all chalcones with Asn108 amino acid residue in the PfDHFR-TS active site via hydrogen bonding, demonstrating their potential as the antimalarial agent. Notably, the positioning of methoxy and pyridine substituents significantly influenced the antimalarial activity of the chalcones.

Matrix inverses along the core parts of three matrix decompositions
Authors: Cao Xiaofei , Huang Yuyue , Hua Xue , Zhao Tingyu , Xu Sanzhang
Published: November 2023

New characterizations for generalized inverses along the core parts of three matrix decompositions were investigated in this paper. Let $ A_{1} $, $ \hat{A}_{1} $ and $ \tilde{A}_{1} $ be the core parts of the core-nilpotent decomposition, the core-EP decomposition and EP-nilpotent decomposition of $ A\in \mathbb{C}^{n\times n} $, respectively, where EP denotes the EP matrix. A number of characterizations and different representations of the Drazin inverse, the weak group inverse and the core-EP inverse were given by using the core parts $ A_{1} $, $ \hat{A}_{1} $ and $ \tilde{A}_{1} $. One can prove that, the Drazin inverse is the inverse along $ A_{1} $, the weak group inverse is the inverse along $ \hat{A}_{1} $ and the core-EP inverse is the inverse along $ \tilde{A}_{1} $. A unified theory presented in this paper covers the Drazin inverse, the weak group inverse and the core-EP inverse based on the core parts of the core-nilpotent decomposition, the core-EP decomposition and EP-nilpotent decomposition of $ A\in \mathbb{C}^{n\times n} $, respectively. In addition, we proved that the Drazin inverse of $ A $ is the inverse of $ A $ along $ U $ and $ A_{1} $ for any $ U\in \{A_{1}, \hat{A}_{1}, \tilde{A}_{1}\} $; the weak group inverse of $ A $ is the inverse of $ A $ along $ U $ and $ \hat{A}_{1} $ for any $ U\in \{A_{1}, \hat{A}_{1}, \tilde{A}_{1}\} $; the core-EP inverse of $ A $ is the inverse of $ A $ along $ U $ and $ \tilde{A}_{1} $ for any $ U\in \{A_{1}, \hat{A}_{1}, \tilde{A}_{1}\} $. Let $ X_{1} $, $ X_{4} $ and $ X_{7} $ be the generalized inverses along $ A_{1} $, $ \hat{A}_{1} $ and $ \tilde{A}_{1} $, respectively. In the last section, some useful examples were given, which showed that the generalized inverses $ X_{1} $, $ X_{4} $ and $ X_{7} $ were different generalized inverses. For a certain singular complex matrix, the Drazin inverse coincides with the weak group inverse, which is different from the core-EP inverse. Moreover, we showed that the Drazin inverse, the weak group inverse and the core-EP inverse can be the same for a certain singular complex matrix.
$ q $-rung logarithmic Pythagorean neutrosophic vague normal aggregating operators and their applications in agricultural robotics
Authors: Palanikumar Murugan , Jana Chiranjibe , Sarkar Biswajit , Pal Madhumangal
Published: November 2023

The article explores multiple attribute decision making problems through the use of the Pythagorean neutrosophic vague normal set (PyNVNS). The PyNVNS can be generalized to the Pythagorean neutrosophic interval valued normal set (PyNIVNS) and vague set. This study discusses $ q $-rung log Pythagorean neutrosophic vague normal weighted averaging ($ q $-rung log PyNVNWA), $ q $-rung logarithmic Pythagorean neutrosophic vague normal weighted geometric ($ q $-rung log PyNVNWG), $ q $-rung log generalized Pythagorean neutrosophic vague normal weighted averaging ($ q $-rung log GPyNVNWA), and $ q $-rung log generalized Pythagorean neutrosophic vague normal weighted geometric ($ q $-rung log GPyNVNWG) sets. The properties of $ q $-rung log PyNVNSs are discussed based on algebraic operations. The field of agricultural robotics can be described as a fusion of computer science and machine tool technology. In addition to crop harvesting, other agricultural uses are weeding, aerial photography with seed planting, autonomous robot tractors and soil sterilization robots. This study entailed selecting five types of agricultural robotics at random. There are four types of criteria to consider when choosing a robotics system: robot controller features, cheap off-line programming software, safety codes and manufacturer experience and reputation. By comparing expert judgments with the criteria, this study narrows the options down to the most suitable one. Consequently, $ q $ has a significant effect on the results of the models.
O ensino intuitivo em livros escolares ilustrados
Authors: Carlos Valter Natal Valim , Silva José Cláudio Sooma
Published: November 2023

No último quartel do século XIX, o Império brasileiro foi premido por questões de ordem política, econômica e social que abalaram suas estruturas consolidadas. Nesse panorama, dentre algumas iniciativas empreendidas para manter a sustentação do regime monárquico, destaca-se a Reforma da Instrução Pública (1879). Dentre outras medidas, essa legislação educacional prescreveu o ensino intuitivo no currículo do ensino primário e das Escolas Normais do município da Corte. Assim, examinaram-se três obras didáticas ilustradas, circulantes no período, orientadas por esse método, buscando indiciar algumas possíveis relações e convergências entre tais obras com a prescrição metodológica oficial. Tencionou-se, pois, conhecer algumas visões de mundo, a educação, a escola e a infância daquele presente.
Histórias e narrativas de professores de uma escola rural no contexto da Ditadura Civil-Militar brasileira (1964-1985)
Authors: Pasinato Darciel , Cunha Jorge Luiz da , Fritsch Rosangela
Published: November 2023

Este artigo, que tem como tema a educação no meio rural, objetiva analisar narrativas de professores rurais que atuaram na Escola Frei Anselmo, situada na comunidade de Linha Floresta, no interior de Selbach, um município do norte do Rio Grande do Sul, durante a Ditadura Civil-Militar brasileira (1964-1985). Neste texto, evidenciam-se os debates do uso das narrativas como concepção investigativa para o estudo da História da Educação, tendo como referência as fontes orais. As análises indicam uma relação de respeito entre os docentes e a comunidade escolar nesse período. Em contrapartida, os mecanismos ditatoriais estavam presentes nas escolas rurais, de modo que os alunos não tinham liberdade para se expressar e os professores não tinham autonomia para fazer abordagens de cunho social, político, econômico e educacional em sala de aula.
Topological Iwasawa invariants and arithmetic statistics
Authors: Dion Cedric , Ray Anwesh
Published: November 2023

Given a prime number

p

, we study topological analogues of Iwasawa invariants associated to

\mathbb{Z}_p

-covers of the

3

-sphere that are branched along a link. We prove explicit criteria to detect these Iwasawa invariants, and apply them to the study of links consisting of

2

component knots. Fixing the prime

p

, we prove statistical results for the average behaviour of

p

-primary Iwasawa invariants for

2

-bridge links that are in Schubert normal form. Our main result, which is entirely unconditional, shows that the density of

2

-bridge links for which the

\mu

-invariant vanishes, and the

\lambda

-invariant is equal to

1

, is

(1-\frac{1}{p})

. We also conjecture that the density of

2

-bridge links for which the

\mu

-invariant vanishes is

1

, and this is significantly backed by computational evidence. Our results are proven in a topological setting, yet have arithmetic significance, as we set out new directions in arithmetic statistics and arithmetic topology.
The $\text{K}$-theory of perfectoid rings

Published: November 2023

We establish various properties of the

p

-adic algebraic

\text{K}

-theory of smooth algebras over perfectoid rings living over perfectoid valuation rings. In particular, the

p

-adic

\text{K}

-theory of such rings is homotopy invariant, and coincides with the

p

-adic

\text{K}

-theory of the

p

-adic generic fibre in high degrees. In the case of smooth algebras over perfectoid valuation rings of mixed characteristic the latter isomorphism holds in all degrees and generalises a result of Nizioł.
Integrality of twisted $L$-values of elliptic curves
Authors: Wiersema Hanneke , Wuthrich Christian
Published: November 2023

Under suitable, fairly weak hypotheses on an elliptic curve

E/\mathbb{Q}

and a primitive non-trivial Dirichlet character

\chi

, we show that the algebraic

L

-value

\mathscr{L}(E,\chi)

at

s=1

is an algebraic integer. For instance, for semistable curves

\mathscr{L}(E,\chi)

is integral whenever

E

admits no isogenies defined over

\mathbb{Q}

. Moreover we give examples illustrating that our hypotheses are necessary for integrality to hold.
Cup products, the Heisenberg group, and codimension two algebraic cycles

This generalization of the classical relation between divisors and line bundles furnishes a new perspective on the Bloch–Quillen formula.
Chern–Weil and Hilbert–Samuel formulae for singular Hermitian line bundles
Authors: Botero Ana María , Burgos Gil José Ignacio , Holmes David , de Jong Robin
Published: November 2023

We show a Chern–Weil type statement and a Hilbert–Samuel formula for a large class of singular plurisubharmonic metrics on a line bundle over a smooth projective complex variety. For this we use the theory of b-divisors and the so-called multiplier ideal volume function. We apply our results to the line bundle of Siegel-Jacobi forms over the universal abelian variety endowed with its canonical invariant metric. This generalizes the results of [

Inductive system coherence for logarithmic arithmetic ${\mathcal D}$-modules, stability for cohomology operations
Authors: Caro Daniel
Published: November 2023

Let

{\mathcal V}

be a complete discrete valuation ring of unequal characteristic with perfect residue field,

{\mathcal P}

be a smooth, quasi-compact, separated formal scheme over

{\mathcal V}

,

{\mathcal Z}

be a strict normal crossing divisor of

{\mathcal P}

and

{\mathcal P}^\sharp:=({\mathcal P},{\mathcal Z})

the induced smooth formal log-scheme over

{\mathcal V}

.

In Berthelot's theory of arithmetic

{\mathcal D}

-modules, we work with the inductive system of sheaves of rings

\widehat{{\mathcal D}}^{(\bullet)}_{{\mathcal P}^\sharp}:=(\widehat{{\mathcal D}}^{(m)}_{{\mathcal P}^\sharp})_{m\in\mathbb{N}}

, where

\widehat{{\mathcal D}}^{(m)}_{{\mathcal P}^\sharp}

is the

p

-adic completion of the ring of differential operators of level

m

over

{\mathcal P}^\sharp

. Moreover, he introduced the sheaf

{\mathcal D}^\dag_{{\mathcal P}^\sharp,\mathbb{Q}}:= \varinjlim_m\,\widehat{{\mathcal D}}^{(m)}_{{\mathcal P}^\sharp}\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\mathbb{Q}

of differential operators over

{\mathcal P}^\sharp

of finite level.

In this paper, we define the notion of (over)coherence for complexes of

\widehat{{\mathcal D}}^{\bullet}_{{\mathcal P}^\sharp}

-modules. In this inductive system context, we prove some classical properties including that of Berthelot–Kashiwara's theorem. Moreover, when

{\mathcal Z}

is empty, we check this notion is compatible to that already know of (over)coherence for complexes of

{\mathcal D}^\dag_{{\mathcal P},\mathbb{Q}}

-modules.
Genome assembly and annotation of the Brown-Spotted Pit viper Protobothrops mucrosquamatus
Authors: Niu Xiaotong , Lu Haorong , Shi Minhui , Wang Shiqing , Zhou Yajie , Liu Huan
Published: November 2023

The Brown-Spotted Pit viper (Protobothrops mucrosquamatus), also known as the Chinese habu, is a widespread and highly venomous snake distributed from Northeastern India to Eastern China. Genomics research can contribute to our understanding of venom components and natural selection in vipers. Here, we collected, sequenced and assembled the genome of a male P. mucrosquamatus individual from China. We generated a highly continuous reference genome, with a length of 1.53 Gb and 41.18% of repeat elements content. Using this genome, we identified 24,799 genes, 97.97% of which could be annotated. We verified the validity of our genome assembly and annotation process by generating a phylogenetic tree based on the nuclear genome single-copy genes of six other reptile species. The results of our research will contribute to future studies on Protobothrops biology and the genetic basis of snake venom.

The discussion method is highly essential to be implemented in education with the aim of increasing students' motivation, leading them towards independence and responsibility. So far, fiqh learning has been carried out in a monotonous manner, involving memorization of theories, which has resulted in student boredom during the learning process. Therefore, the Madrasah Aliyah has transformed this method by incorporating the discussion method to address cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. This research employs a qualitative approach, collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique is inductive analysis, and data validity is ensured through source triangulation. Findings from this research indicate that the discussion method is capable of transforming students' knowledge from passive to active, thus improving fiqh learning outcomes. Additionally, the discussion model influences student motivation in enjoyable learning, making the material easier to remember and applicable in daily life.

African Science Granting Councils
Authors: Moja Teboho , Okunade Samuel Kehinde
Published: November 2023

This book delves into the research-policy nexus as it relates to development in Africa. It does so by examining four country-cases – Botswana, Cote d’Ivoire, Kenya and Zambia – while referring to South Africa as a possible exemplar case.

The book reaffirms that the majority of governments in Africa spend less than one per cent of their GDP on research and development (R&D) despite the commitment to raise their research funding levels contained in the Lagos Plan of Action (1980). Hence, reliance on external funding for research persists on the continent.

To manage research engagements and public funds, Science Granting Councils (SGCs) have been established. These institutions are held account- able for how public funds are spent and how the research they fund contributes to the advancement of society.

To-date, the SGCs and researchers have demonstrated in various ways how funded research contributes to the advancement of society. However, there appear to be differences in opinion amongst key stakeholders in terms of what constitutes research priorities as well as expectations in terms of the returns on research investments made.

This book brings to the fore the importance of research and its outcome on societal development, and reveals the stake that African governments hold in the process. The book encourages African governments to show greater commitment to providing funding for research on the continent. This is critical if governments are to assume a lead role in the continent’s development agenda. It would also set the stage for partnerships with other stakeholders, including industry and funding organisations. Researchers are also encouraged to work closely with the SGCs to ensure the valorisation of research products for societal benefit. This has a potential to unlock more funding for research in Africa which, in turn, would drive the development of the continent.
Para-Diplomacy and Border Security: A Kenyan Perspective
Authors: Ng’eno Gilbert Kipyegon , Ouma Odote Peterlinus
Published: November 2023

Purpose: Para-diplomacy empowers subnational governments to engage directly in international relations, including security policy-making. It operates outside traditional diplomatic channels, bridging gaps between subnational and national governments, and allowing for more nuanced and context-specific approaches to security policy-making. For subnational governments to actively participate in addressing security concerns and shaping security policies, the potential and efficacy of para-diplomacy should be carefully understood and therefore managed. This research explores para-diplomacy and its potential impact on border security in Kenya, particularly the role of border counties.

Methodology: Using mixed research methods, the study examines the mechanisms of border management and the important, yet undefined role of border counties. By applying purposive sampling technique, the research selected a sample of 76 individuals from 23 border counties and 6 national government departments all of which are part of Kenya’s governance structure. Questionnaires and interview guides were adopted to gather primary data and both qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis were employed.

Findings: It uncovers an institutional gap that fails to clearly define or utilize the potential of these counties in boosting border security. The study also delves into track one diplomacy, delineating its significance in maintaining border stability. It found out that diplomacy appears to produce positive results by transforming conflicts into opportunities for integration through peace building, and conflict management. Additionally, the study investigates the transformative power of neofunctionalism theory, demonstrating how diplomacy can be used to resolve conflicts and foster regional integration. The research suggests that para-diplomacy, the involvement of subnational regions in international affairs, could enhance border security by leveraging the contribution of border counties towards regional integration.

Recommendations: In conclusion, the study recommends frameworks promoting collaboration between the central government and border counties to improve border management mechanisms and strengthen Kenya's border security. The research highlights the need for a paradigm shift in understanding and utilizing para-diplomacy in border security management.
IDENTITY AND BODY BORDERS: THE PERCEPTION OF THE KENYA SOMALIA BORDER
Authors: Behr Agnes Wanjiru
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The study sought to understand how the identity of the ethnic Somalis and the geographic settings inform the perception of the Kenya-Somalia border.Methodology: The research took a poststructuralist approach via qualitative methodology where information was derived from five focus groups, key informants and one on one interviews from Garissa and Mandera Counties in the period of 2016-2017.  Besides, observations, field experiences, films, and documentaries helped to triangulate the findings for validity purposes. Additionally, historiography was employed through archival materials from the Kenya National Archives.Result: The study shows that body borders elasticizes the Kenya-Somalia border and makes it spatial. Second, ethnic Somalis elastic view of the border through the body is a means of survival but gives the perception to the Kenyan government that the border community does not recognize the international border. Furthermore, the pastoral-nomadic norms of the ethnic Somalis shows elastic view of the Kenya-Somalia border due to the arid to semi-arid territory which calls for negotiated living spaces as opposed to the static view of the same by Kenyan governments.The unique contribution to the theory, practice and policy: Cognitive psychology, Constructivism and discourse analysis used together shows a pattern derived from everyday discourse and behaviors that shape the thinking on border studies. Language goes beyond verbal communication to a psychological tap that shows the behavior of a community as informed by fears and the need to alleviate the fears. The behaviors shape the norms, and therefore, constructivism displays state behaviors and actions or inaction. Also, transfer of the social-cultural to the state norms shows a divide in border thinking where two or more identities come together. The issue should, therefore, be how to alleviate the fears both current and historical from both the state and ethnic Somalis instead of looking at each as the threat to the other.
THE US MARSHALL PLAN AND THE POST-WORLD WAR II RECONSTRUCTION OF EUROPE, 1947-1970: ECONOMIC AND DIPLOMATIC STUDY
Authors: Achenui Nwenfor
Published: November 2023

Purpose: This paper examines the immensity of the Marshall Plan in Europe in three subsections: the basis for its creation, its logistical implementation, and the fallouts on Europe as a whole and the United States of America.

Methodology: The pitfalls of the Marshall Plan are further categorized into three rubrics: direct economic effects, indirect economic effects, and political effects.

Results: Based on the theoretical and qualitativer methods, the paper argues that there is a dearth of evidence to show that direct economic outcomes accounted for the Marshall Plan’s success. Rather, the indirect economic consequences, especially in the putting into place of liberal capitalistic policies, and the political effects, specifically the model of European integration and government-business partnerships, were the key vectors for Europe’s unsurpassed growth in the aftermath of the Second World War.

Unique contribution to theory and practice:  Follow-on support, less complexity, inclusiveness of faith-based networks and economic aid packages that incorporate nuances of local culture and political economy, the paper suggests, will better off effectiveness of “fat elephant” recovery schemes to the scale of the Marshall Plan, for wars’ squashed economies in need of a resurgence.
GEO-STRATEGIC ANALYSIS OF IDENTITY POLITICS AND ETHNIC SEPARATISM: A RE-EVALUATION OF NIGERIA’S GOOD NEIGHBOURLINESS POLITICAL FRAMEWORK IN THE FACE OF TERRORISM

Identity politics plays a major role in the survival, peace and continued existence of independent African states. This cannot but exist in a situation where ethnic groups were factionalized between geographical delineations of colonialism. Nigeria lies between five francophone countries with geo strategic, identity and security implications. This ipso facto connotes the idea of a split of ethno religious groups originally bounded in historical empires but now exist within the borders of colonially separated states. In this wise, Nigeria’s good neighbourliness becomes an important political framework of interest.  International terrorism since the wake of the 11th September attack on America has metalized into local terrorism perpetrated by the Boko Haram group in the case of Nigeria. Boko Haram terrorism has been internationalized with linkages with Isis and has spread its tentacles beyond the shores of Nigeria into neighbouring states of Chad, Niger, and Cameroon (countries which since the colonial era harboured Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri (Kanouri or Yerwa or Bare/Bari) and other such Nigerian northern ethnic groups with Islamic affiliations still binding the divided units since the Fulani jihad of the 18th century). Since Independence, Nigeria has wittingly dwelt within a choking Franco phony politics of survival.  She had maintained a policy of good neighbourliness that has cost her continued friendship with France and economic openness to assist the African neighbours a breathing air of survival.  In the wake of the new politics of international terrorism and with the spread of terrorist activities beyond the Nigerian borders into neighbouring States, this policy (good neighbourliness) becomes an agenda for analytical consideration, primarily because, relations between pre-colonial ethnic groups continue with a natural push and pull factor that post-colonial states cannot ignore. This is the relevance of this research paper which considers terrorism and identity politics within Nigeria’s security challenge as implicative on good neighbourliness. The paper argues that, terrorism, identity politics are negatively implicated on the security of Nigeria and its neighbours and that the political framework of good neighbourliness needs to be reviewed to take care of new arising challenges.

Advancing Sustainable Development in the Global South: Aligning Education with the SDGs for Lasting Impact
Authors: Owuondo Joseph
Published: November 2023

This research paper delves into the imperative of harmonizing educational objectives within the Global South with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development underscores the pivotal role of education in realizing global sustainability, particularly stressing Target 4.7. Despite advancements in monitoring SDG progress, persistent challenges hinder human advancement, particularly within education. This study critically examines the viability and effectiveness of crafting educational curricula for the Global South that integrate sustainable methodologies into existing systems. Furthermore, it scrutinizes significant impediments hindering the alignment of education with SDGs and provides recommendations for stakeholders, employing a meticulous approach encompassing critical content analysis and an extensive literature review. Through a thorough analysis of peer-reviewed literature, policy documents, and pertinent articles from diverse sources, complemented by data triangulation to enhance reliability, this study elucidates that customizing educational curricula for the Global South is achievable and imperative. Fostering environmental consciousness and action necessitates seamlessly integrating sustainable practices and educational principles into prevailing frameworks. However, challenges such as infrastructural inadequacies and cultural heterogeneity mandate strategic interventions. Collaborative efforts among stakeholders, including governments, educational institutions, international organizations, educators, and communities, are imperative to propel sustainable development through education. Recommendations span from curriculum adaptations and resolution of infrastructural deficiencies to fostering respect for cultural diversity and implementing robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. Ultimately, this study enriches stakeholders with knowledge essential for their endeavor toward societal progression and sustainable development in the Global South.

Learning from “The Other”? Transformative learning in Swedish high school students’ narratives from an educational trip to Kenya. The study explores transformative learning in a group of Swedish high school students’ shared narratives about an educational trip to Kenya. The understanding of transformative learning is inspired by a discourse analytical approach, which emphasizes the use of discursive frameworks and repertoires for making sense of experiences. The analysis shows that the participants express a desire to learn from ‘the Other’, which is associated with a critical examination of their own ways of thinking. Moreover, the image of ‘the other’ is complex. On the one hand, it is constructed as a generalized image of the exotic other and reproduces notions of ‘the noble savage’. On the other hand, the image of ‘the other’ is also framed by a liberal discourse of individualism and tolerance. Finally, the narratives also entail constructions of similarity, which indicates a more radical renegotiation of previous discursive frames and blurs the borders between us and them.

care educations. Danish law states that vocational education and training, VET, must contribute to developing pupils´ interest in, and ability to participate actively in democratic society. Based on Dewey’s theory, this paper focuses on managers´ perspectives on implementing the intention of the law. This is done through interviews with managers from social and health care colleges (the school) and with managers from elder care institutions where training takes place (the employer). The results show an awareness and an interest in democracy but also that it can be interpreted in many ways. Hence, there is a potential for pupils´ participation in democracy in different situations in VET. However, it is challenging to connect different pupils´ knowledge of democracy, impressions from the college, experiences from the training, and to contribute to a reflection on democracy.

Do you feel like reading or do you not want to read? Ideas about reading enjoyment in a project which promotes reading at Swedish preschools. The article discusses how ideas of reading enjoyment affect the practical and pedagogical practice through a project to promote reading at four Swedish preschools. Based on interviews and observations collected over a three-year period we highlight three areas where ideas about reading enjoyment are visualized in the teaching of literature: literature, play, and learning through reading enjoyment. The study shows that access to literature alone does not necessarily lead to children’s voluntary reading unless preschool teachers also take an active initiative. Likewise, play can be a pleasurable way to start reading if the adults provide some guidance. The study also notices a discrepancy between preschool teachers’ ideas of reading enjoyment and learning, which may result in the opting out of voluntary reading unless it is explicitly supported in the policy documents. Measures in the form of pedagogical education, and goals concerning literary didactics therein are proposed.
