Introdução: O programa Teste e trate HIV surge após a Nota Técnica n. 534/22 do Ministério da Saúde, que reforça a recomendação da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) sobre o início da terapia antirretroviral (TARV) para todas as pessoas que vivem com HIV/AIDS (PVHA), independentemente dos resultados de exames laboratoriais, e preconiza que a TARV seja iniciada em até 7 dias depois do diagnóstico, visando o início oportuno do tratamento, minimizando a morbimortalidade do HIV/AIDS. Um dos Centros de Testagem e Acolhimento (CTA) de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, iniciou o projeto em novembro de 2022, logo após a publicação da nota, com o objetivo de diminuir as perdas de seguimento que ocorrem entre a descoberta do diagnóstico e o início do tratamento. Objetivo: Descrever a população diagnosticada no CTA e o fluxo de acompanhamento dos usuários do programa Teste e trate HIV. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, descritivo, realizado no CTA dentro de um Serviço de Assistência Especializada (SAE) HIV em Porto Alegre. Os dados foram coletados do período de novembro de 2022 a junho de 2023. Resultados: No período do estudo, 33 pessoas tiveram seu diagnóstico de HIV após a testagem rápida. A maioria das pessoas testadas era homem cis (66,6%), homem que faz sexo com homens – HSH (45,4%), autodeclarada branca (48,4%), com idade entre 19 e 65 anos. Após a testagem e o aconselhamento, todos os usuários realizaram coleta de CV e CD4 dentro do serviço, e passaram por avaliação médica para iniciar imediatamente a TARV, assim como já saiam com o retorno médico agendado para 30 dias para avaliar a adesão ao tratamento. Foi observada uma adesão de 93% de usuários diagnosticados que se vincularam no serviço especializado. Conclusão: O perfil demográfico dos usuários diagnosticados corrobora com o perfil da epidemia do HIV/AIDS no Brasil. O programa demonstrou-se benéfico à adesão ao tratamento e seguimento ambulatorial das PVHA.
A estratégia de resposta rápida à sífilis por meio da percepção das gestoras estaduais e municipais de saúde no Brasil, entre 2018 e 2020
Authors: Machado Nádia Maria da Silva
Published: June 2024

A sífilis gestacional e congênita é um problema de saúde pública mundial, e a mulher está vulnerável às consequências desse agravo. Uma pactuação nacional constituiu-se estratégia importante para uma intervenção em saúde. Este estudo qualitativo pesquisou o perfil das gestoras de saúde vinculadas aos municípios prioritários para a sífilis, no período de 2018 a 2020, e sua percepção sobre a importância da temática da sífilis, e os desafios dessa estratégia nacional durante a pandemia da COVID-19 por meio de inquérito. Orientada por cinco eixos de investigação, foi elaborada a análise descritiva das respostas de 16 gestoras de saúde oriundas de 11 estados e 12 municípios prioritários da sífilis. Os resultados indicaram que a capacitação de profissionais de saúde em cuidado e vigilância da sífilis é pauta prioritária para as gestoras; e que a pandemia afetou a procura e o acesso aos serviços de saúde. A não utilização do preservativo antes e durante a gravidez e a não adesão do parceiro ao pré-natal são desafios sociais de exposição ao risco. Em contrapartida, a disponibilidade de teste rápido e penicilina na Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS), a formação de Comitês de Investigação da Transmissão Vertical e a capacitação em diagnóstico e tratamento são considerados como os maiores avanços. O monitoramento de casos de sífilis gestacional por sistemas de informação figurou como o maior desafio. As gestoras esperam maior sensibilização dos governantes às questões de vulnerabilidade social que envolvem a mulher exposta à sífilis gestacional e congênita.

Introdução: As infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (IST) causam impactos negativos na saúde pública com reflexo na qualidade de vida da pessoa, que não entende ou não tem conhecimento sobre sua saúde. Entre essas, a sífilis, quando não tratada, pode evoluir gravemente. Sobretudo, algumas pessoas infectadas não apresentam sintomatologia e outras não percebem sinais e/ou sintomas. Assim, o teste rápido (TR) possibilita o rastreamento e o diagnóstico precoce da infecção e sua realização oferece parte da prevenção combinada para IST, incentivada pelo Ministério da Saúde. Assim, ações para a disponibilidade desses testes são fundamentais. Objetivo: Descrever a relevância da oferta de teste rápido para sífilis para a população, incentivando sua demanda amplificada. Métodos: A atividade aconteceu em uma praia da região metropolitana em Fortaleza, Ceará, em parceria com um projeto local, que disponibilizou o ambiente para a realização dos TR, sendo o público-alvo as pessoas na praia. Para captar os participantes foi realizada abordagem direta, que informava como aconteceria a testagem e esclarecia dúvidas. Realizou-se a primeira fase do TR, a “pré-testagem”, para coleta de dados do paciente, seguida da execução do teste, em que se coletou uma gota de sangue para a análise. Por fim, ocorreu a pós-testagem, em que foi realizado o aconselhamento para os que tiveram o teste negativo e os que testaram positivo, sendo esse último acompanhado de encaminhamentos adequados para cada indivíduo. Resultados: O interesse do público em realizar os TR foi notável, resultando em um considerável alcance. Ao todo, realizaram-se 53 testes, ocorrendo quatro resultados positivos para sífilis, os quais percebi que necessitavam de uma escuta ativa e qualificada para orientarmos apropriadamente cada situação. Conclusão: Conclui-se que falta divulgação do oferecimento de TR para a população devido a relatos dos participantes, tornando-se necessárias novas estratégias para oferta ampla desse direito, estimulando empoderamento no processo saúde-doença.

Innovation and Practice of Students' Evaluation of Teaching
Authors: Wang Feng
Published: June 2024

Students' evaluation of teaching is to establish a platform between students and teachers, which can make them fully trust, so as to convey the real feelings of students and teachers, and improve the quality of teaching. However, in the actual implementation process, we pay too much attention to the evaluation of teaching results, which leads to the failure of the evaluation mechanism, which also leads to the failure of students' evaluation system. However, this does not mean that the student evaluation system itself is not good, this paper will analyze the existing shortcomings of the domestic university rating mechanism, and then give the solution strategy. At present, the innovation and ideological and political teachers in higher vocational schools still lack an effective training and performance evaluation system, and also ignore the era of "post class competition and certification", as well as the demand for knowledge and innovation ability of university teachers. Teachers are ordinary people and have great laziness. Teachers are not omnipotent. The quality of education cannot meet the requirements only by consciously lacking the restriction of system and evaluation mechanism.

The Role of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Relations with Muslims from 1920 to 2020
Authors: Prascevic A.
Published: June 2024

Relations between Orthodox and Muslims in the Western Balkans often become a  world-class topic due to the interest of international factors actively involved in this process. The Serbian Orthodox Church is a key factor in the development of interfaith dialogue, to which it has made a significant contribution through its primates, bishops and priests. Her role came to the fore in the post-war years, when, despite great sacrifices among Orthodox believers, she called for interfaith peace and coexistence, thereby contributing to the stability of the Western Balkans. In historical retrospect, the article examines the relations of peoples and representatives of different religions in one common state in political circumstances. The facts presented in the article allow us to draw conclusions about the level of interfaith dialogue and the contribution of representatives of various faiths to interfaith reconciliation. The article is an experience of a comprehensive scientific study of interreligious relations between Orthodox and Muslims in Serbia: when writing it, the researcher turned to various sources: Christian and Muslim religious and apologetic literature, history, sociology, journalism, etc., aiming at an impartial presentation of the most accurate and diverse information on this topic.
The 1973 Oil Crisis: a Look after half a Century
Authors: Yakovlev A. I.
Published: June 2024

The article examines the prerequisites and consequences of the global oil crisis of 1973. It analyzes not only the political reasons that prompted the Arab oil exporting countries to use the “oil weapon” (the unresolved Middle East conflict and the Palestinian problem), but also the crisis phenomena in the Western economy. Not only Arab countries, but also powerful oil companies, backed by Western countries, especially the United States, were interested in change. For the West, the oil crisis caused difficulties and problems in the short term, but in the long term it turned out to be a catalyst that accelerated structural and technological changes in the Western economy and in the global financial system. The oil crisis allowed the oil-producing countries of the Arab East to sharply increase the level of state income, which opened up opportunities for accelerated socio-economic development, and also increased the authority of these countries and OPEC in international relations.
Central Asia: the Problem of Water Use in the Situation of the Construction of the Afghan Kush-Tepa Canal
Authors: Mustafabeyli A. M.
Published: June 2024

The scarcity of water resources, the lack of equitable access of people to clean water and sanitation services, the insufficiency of technical and financial measures to create advanced systems for the use and conservation of water resources are global problems, but they cause the greatest damage to the states of the Global South, including Central Asia. Problems associated with water shortages in this region will worsen if the Kush-Tepa canal, which is being built in Afghanistan, is uncontrolled.

The states of the region are committed to negotiations with the Taliban government in order to agree on cooperation in the field of water use, they are ready to help in the construction of the canal, associated irrigation systems and help in their technical equipment.

The Afghan side, accepting verbally the initiatives of its Central Asian partners, insists on its right to use the canal at its own discretion and to the extent that meets its interests. At the same time, the Taliban authorities, not yet recognized by the international community, are trying not to aggravate relations with their neighbors with whom they carry out trade and economic cooperation. The Central Asian countries are making it clear that interaction with the Afghans can further develop if the parties take into account mutual interests. External actors behave differently. Russia offers its services in solving problems related to the operation of the Kush-Tepa Canal. The Americans are providing financial assistance to speed up the construction of the canal.

Survey of Recent Trends of IB-IVB Metals and Their Compounds in Cancer Treatment
Authors: Kostova Irena
Published: June 2024

Metals from IB to IVB groups of the periodic table, because of their flexible oxidation states, natures of coordinated bioligands, and geometries upon complexation, display various properties and efficiency of metal-based cytotoxic drugs. Recent decades have witnessed remarkable progress in the synthesis and therapeutic application of numerous inorganic compounds in cancer investigations. The main potential therapeutic agents, such as the complexes of platinum group metals possessing antineoplastic activity have been broadly described previously in the literature and are beyond the space of this analysis. The key objective of the present study is to analyze the possible activity of IB-IVB group metals their coordination compounds against the cancer cell types. The increasing number of anticancer drug candidates among these metals proves this field offers a remarkably variation of novel opportunities for the synthesis of advanced new pharmaceutics with diverse and specific modes of action. Furthermore, the review provides forthcoming insights into prospective clinical scenarios for approaching treatment applications. That is why this field of research deserves more attention. It is expected that this review can serve as a guiding framework for future investigations in cancer chemotherapy.
Il pensiero critico nell’insegnamento delle lingue straniere tra argomentazione e collaborazione comunicativa
Authors: Landone Elena
Published: June 2024

Le politiche educative nazionali e internazionali insistono sull’importanza del pensiero critico come competenza trasversale di alto valore civico e professionale, oltre che accademico. Le università, in particolare, hanno un ruolo che sta via via assumendo spessore anche pedagogico sullo scenario europeo; di conseguenza devono cogliere nuove sfide formative, legate principalmente a come formare le competenze che la società richiede ai loro studenti. In questo studio trattiamo le difficoltà didattiche della definizione degli obiettivi di formazione del pensiero critico. Per farlo, ci avvaliamo della tradizione dell’insegnamento delle lingue straniere relativa alle competenze argomentativa e di collaborazione in gruppo. Si tratta di due ambiti che negli anni hanno maturato molti descrittori di competenza che intersecano il pensiero critico e che permettono di definirne obiettivi didattici concreti, visibili e graduabili. L’articolo offre gli strumenti per integrare la competenza del critical thinking nell’insegnamento della lingua straniera e sostiene la necessità che la formazione delle competenze diventi una prassi a livello universitario.

Origins, Surviving, Ensuring Subsistence, and Culture
Authors: Martinez Maximo G.
Published: June 2024

Garifuna origins and culture begin on the island of St. Vincent in the Caribbean. Their Black Carib descendants struggled for autonomy during the colonial period before being forcibly removed from the island and sent to Central America, where they settled along the coast. In their pursuit for autonomy, they formed alliances with political factions, reminiscent of what they had done on St. Vincent. Garifuna established political partnerships during and after Central America’s independence period. This became common, as Garifuna continued establishing ties with other groups to ensure their subsistence in the locations where they settled. The background of Garifuna culture illustrates their differences and similarities with other groups in their U.S. communities of settlement.

Authors: Tüfekçi Sedat , Ortaş İbrahim
Published: June 2024

Aim of study: In semi-arid afforestation sites, the study aimed to create mycorrhizal seedlings with high vitality, health, and tolerance to harsh environments. The study's hypotheses state that mycorrhizal inoculation will improve Cedrus libani (Taurus cedar) seedlings' growth characteristics, nutrition, root colonization, and mycorrhizal reliance.
Area of study: The Eastern Mediterranean Research Institute laboratory and greenhouse in Tarsus district-Mersin, Türkiye.
Material and methods: The experiment involved inoculation of three ectomycorrhizal fungal species (Lactarius delicious, Hebeloma crustuliniforme, Tricholoma ustale) collected from natural cedar stands on to cedar seedlings grown in two different substrates (sterilized, non-sterilized. Inoculation was carried out by dipping the roots of Cedrus libani A. Rich (Taurus cedar) seedlings into mycorrhizal mycelia.
Main results: Cedar seedlings infected with mycorrhiza exhibited a greater biomass ratio in comparison to the control seedlings. Substrate sterilization increased seedling growth variables. The highest growth, some nutrients such as N, P, K, Fe and Zn uptake, root colonization and mycorrhizal dependence occurred in seedlings with H. crustuliniforme and L. delicious.
Research highlights: Although this study is limited to Taurus cedar-mycorrhiza combinations, it may also be applicable to different mycorrhizal fungal species and many other valuable host tree species. More research is needed on the adaptation of different mycorrhizal species to habitats to increase the success of afforestation efforts in arid and semi-arid regions.

Authors: Han Dongchen
Published: June 2024

Nowadays virtual reality (VR) technology has been applied to many aspects of soccer training, and corresponding studies have been conducted in technical skills, cognitive psychology, tactical ability, and, sports rehabilitation. This paper explores the impact of VR on soccer training by reviewing a large amount of literature and integrating, summarizing, and concluding it. It has been found that VR has a significant effect on improving the technical skills, cognitive psychology, tactical ability, and sports rehabilitation of soccer players. For enhancing sports performance in the real world, VR technology has great potential for development in the future. However, it remains to be seen whether VR will be widely used by athletes, coaches, and sports organizations. With the current state of development, the functionality of VR systems will become more and more powerful in the future, as well as less costly, providing a more convenient channel for its application and popularization in soccer. Although the scientific evidence to prove its effectiveness is still weak, the practice of VR and soccer training innovations will occur more frequently and be more closely integrated with other advanced technologies, so that future research on this topic will be richer, deeper, and more comprehensive.

Authors: Zhang Yingqi
Published: June 2024

In 2023, realism has emerged as an essential and influential theme within the Chinese film industry. Films that employ a realistic approach have not only achieved significant box office success but have also demonstrated that there is a widespread and substantial market for this genre in China. Despite the burgeoning popularity and commercial success of realistic films domestically, they have not yet achieved the same level of influence on the global stage, particularly when compared to cinematic works from overseas. This discrepancy poses a significant challenge for Chinese filmmakers, who must navigate a new and rapidly changing living environment and seek effective strategies to address and overcome these market dilemmas. This article delves into the trajectory of Chinese realist films, employing theoretical research and case analysis to address market challenges and suggest future development strategies. Through an in-depth examination of "Beyond the Furious Sea," it navigates the challenges and opportunities within Chinese realist filmmaking, shedding light on the genre's current landscape.

Authors: Zhen Ruisi , Tao Hao , Liu Mohong
Published: June 2024

International environmental law is an important legal tool to deal with the global environmental crisis. In recent years with the increasingly serious and global environmental problems the speed and depth of environmental problems are also increasing. In this process the relationship between state sovereignty and international environmental law and its conflict become the object of study. "To do a systematic analysis this paper attempts to destroy the conflict between national sovereignty and environmental rights and on the basis of in-depth discussion of the background concept formation and development stage of international environmental law to explore whether the two can be coordinated. In particular the concept of "soft standards" is proposed to analyze its actual status and role in international environmental law and its dialectical relationship between legal significance and legal effect in non-binding international instruments. On the basis of respecting national sovereignty the document said that strengthening the supervision of international mechanisms and improving the national responsibility system can promote the effective coordination of international environmental law and safeguard national sovereignty and realize the mutual benefit and win-win situation of environmental protection and national interests. At the same time it puts forward a more cautious attitude towards the criticism and modification of the soft law of the international environment and emphasizes that the universal basis of the law should be paid attention to in the practical application so as to avoid the marginalization of legal research due to excessive dependence on social analysis methods.This paper aims to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the further development and practical application of international environmental law.
Implementation of Emotion in Music Composing Based on Nyquist
Authors: Meng Yuya
Published: June 2024

Music has been considered as a tool to express emotions. This study aims to find relationships between emotions and musical factors. Final emotion sound samples have been produced based on a review of previous research findings. There are five emotions being selectedincluding joy, anger, fear, sadness and calmness. All sound examples are produced purely through Nyquist programming. By using computers to generate sounds, man-made effects on emotion demonstration due to different performance styles and personal feelings could be excluded. Also, lyrics are not considered, so there will not be any intended emotional orientation in the wording. Therefore, musical factors could be better compared without biases and factors that cause effective emotion modification could be identified. At the same time, how different valance and arousal correspond with and will be changed through differences in certain acoustic cues has been discovered. This article provides examples of using computer-generated sounds and identified acoustic cues to demonstrate the effectiveness of using only sound and melody to showcase emotion.
The Relationship Between the Development of P2P Platforms and Economic Stability
Authors: Liu Yuxi
Published: June 2024

The rapid development of China's peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms has not only injected new vitality into the financial market but also had a profound impact on the traditional banking system. With its efficient information matching and capital circulation mechanism, the P2P platform has solved the traditional loan problem and promoted the financing convenience of small and medium-sized enterprises. However, its rapid development has also brought a series of risks and challenges, such as economic stability problems, potential risk spread, etc. Compared with other countries, especially the United States, we find that the development of P2P platforms in different countries presents different characteristics. To meet these challenges, we need to strengthen supervision, regulate the operation behavior of P2P platforms, ensure the safety of funds, and prevent risks. At the same time, we should also pay attention to its interactive relationship with the traditional banking system, to achieve complementary development, and jointly promote the prosperity and stability of the financial market. To sum up, the development of the P2P platform has brought new opportunities and challenges to China's financial market. We need to deal with it with a prudent attitude and innovative thinking to ensure its healthy and orderly development.
Navigating Ideology and Policy: A Corpus-Based Analysis of Translation Practices
Authors: Bai Wei
Published: June 2024

This paper investigates the complex dynamics between language policy, ideological influences, and the use of machine translation (MT) tools in the translation of multilingual documents within the European Union (EU). A corpus-based analysis was employed to examine how language policies and ideological preferences shape translation practices, particularly focusing on governmental and marketing materials. The study reveals significant tendencies towards lexical standardization and syntactic homogenization, driven by the efficiency-oriented ideologies embedded within language policies. Furthermore, it highlights the ethical and practical challenges posed by MT, including cultural flattening and the potential undermining of local nuances crucial for effective communication. The interplay between compliance and resistance by human translators under restrictive language policies is also explored, showing how translators navigate between policy constraints and their own professional judgments. This paper contributes to the broader discourse on the impact of technological advances on translation practices, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that respects linguistic diversity while leveraging technological efficiencies.
Analysis of Female Employment Situation Based on Data from Jilin Province in China
Authors: Ming Zimo
Published: June 2024

In recent years, Chinas GDP has continued to grow, yet the labor share has not increased in a consistent manner. This paper employs an empirical analysis based on data from Jilin Province, China. It uses questionnaires and econometric modeling methods to investigate the role of gender in economic life and the role of other factors (such as employment pressure, the role of unions, etc.) in this process. The questionnaire survey examines the current state of gender employment discrimination in China, focusing on the existence, causes, and influencing factors of employment discrimination. In constructing the econometric model, this paper assumes a negative relationship between the proportion of female employees and the labor share, while there is a positive relationship between female education level and the labor income share. The two hypotheses, based on common sense and literature, are then tested by an econometric model. The results indicate that the proportion of female employees is indeed negatively correlated with the share of labor income, suggesting that women face more significant employment challenges.
Exploring the Gender Disparities in the Impact of Communication Skills on Job Satisfaction
Authors: Zhu Yiqian
Published: June 2024

Gender stereotypes are often discussed as potential explanations for disparities observed in communication, job satisfaction, and the treatment of individuals within workplace environments. This study aims to investigate the persistence of such gender differences and explore existing literature explanations. Utilizing an online questionnaire, 96 participants from diverse professional backgrounds in China were recruited for this research. The results indicate that by holding communication skill levels constant, female employees exhibit higher levels of job satisfaction. These findings underscore a significant gender disparity in how communication skills influence job satisfaction, emphasizing the importance of adopting gender-sensitive approaches to enhance workplace satisfaction and ensure equitable opportunities for all employees. Future research should delve deeper into the underlying factors contributing to these disparities and develop strategies to improve communication effectiveness and job satisfaction across diverse workforce demographics.

Through the analysis of datasets from diverse countries, the study seeks to uncover patterns and discrepancies in reading performance. Key factors such as the education system, family background, and availability of learning resources are meticulously compared to ascertain their influence on reading proficiency. The study's findings reveal that disparities in reading abilities among students stem from a multitude of factors, rather than a singular cause. As a result, this study advocates for the implementation of interventions to address these disparities and ultimately enhance the reading proficiency of students globally. Firstly, policymakers should strive to create a more equitable environment for students' reading performance. Concurrently, resources must be allocated to bolster teacher training programs, thereby enhancing teaching standards and proficiency. Additionally, families need to enhance their involvement and support for children's reading progress. Finally, schools and teachers should employ more comprehensive assessment methods for students' reading achievements.

China has a vast territory, rich resources, diverse habitats, and many unique species. Paying attention to Chinas endemic species can increase a deeper understanding of these endemic species and protect biodiversity at the same time. This study is mainly about the endemic species of snakes in China and is also a partial summary of the research on snakes in China. Use literature research methods to study the distribution, endemic causes, and population trends of endangered and critically endangered snake species in China. This helps us understand how to protect the populations of endangered and critically endangered species of snakes and better study them. The study found that most endangered and critically endangered Chinese endemic species are distributed in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Sichuan, and other northwest areas, while a small number are distributed in Liaoning, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other regions. Part of the reason for the uniqueness is that the unique geographical environment is suitable for the survival of snakes, and the other part is forced selection due to relatively isolated geographical location or crustal movement. This research aims to better understand and pay attention to Chinas endemic snake species and protect endangered and critically endangered species.
The neurotransmitters of sleep and arousal
Authors: Fan Chengdong
Published: June 2024

The sleep and arousal, or the vigilance state, is controlled by a highly dynamic brain system that involves numerous interconnected brain circuits. However, while many reviews presented the anatomical bases of how different components of the brain area contribute to the vigilance states, less attention is paid from the perspective of different neurotransmitters. As multiple different neuronal populations could exist and express in the same brain area, attributing the effect of different brain areas on sleep and arousal would not be precise without consideration of the act of neurotransmitters. This review summarizes the recent progress on how different neurotransmitters affect vigilance states. By doing so, this review aims to provide an alternative angle in understanding how different vigilance state is regulated by the brain.
Investigating EFL Students’ Perceptions about the Use of Beyond Textbook Materials for University Courses

Proficiency in English, in today’s globalized atmosphere, needs to be prioritized. This can be achieved by incorporating diverse, dynamic, and productive strategies intended to improve language proficiency. The use of different beyond textbook materials for teaching skills courses such as reading, writing, listening and speaking can be one such strategy. This study advocates that student teacher’s reliance should not always be based on prescribed textbooks, which may not always satisfy all students’ needs in different circumstances. Instead, resources other than textbooks can be a supportive supplement. This quantitative study investigates EFL students’ perceptions about the use of beyond textbook materials while studying skills courses in Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University (PSAU). The sample consisted of 68 student-participants: 30 males and 38 females studying in level three of 4-year BA program in the Department of English. Based on purposive sampling, only those student-participants were chosen who had already studied skills courses as freshmen. To collect data, a 20-item questionnaire was created, online, using Google Forms. The responses were collected using 5-point Likert scale containing agreement, frequency and quality response options. The findings reveal that students positively reacted to the use of beyond textbook materials for skills courses and acknowledged the contributions of such non-textbook resources towards learning EFL. This study is limited to a selected context. Therefore, it is recommended that future studies may focus on student-participants from different locations to, supposedly, achieve results that are more comprehensive. It is hoped, findings of this study will provide valuable insights for students, teachers, and future researchers alike in the context of EFL.

One of the most important aspects of learning a new language is mastering the pronunciation of that language. It is crucial in helping second language learners improve their communication skills and overall performance. Mastering proper pronunciation is a difficult and subtle part of teaching English as a foreign or second language. The focus of this study is to assess the contributing factors affecting ESL students' pronunciation. The study used a quantitative research approach. A total of 189 students from Burayu High School were chosen at random sampling technique for this study. The researchers collected data through a questionnaire. SPSS version 26 was used to analyze the data obtained from the respondents of the survey. Factors influencing pronunciation that were identified in this study include poor motivation, lack of confidence, exposure, practice, interest, an unfriendly atmosphere, one's native language interference, age, personal traits of the learners, instructional approach, and feedback deficiency. The findings also provide valuable insights into preferred pronunciation learning strategies among students of English in the Oromia region of Ethiopia and explore the impact of individual and environmental factors, including first language influence, strengths, and weaknesses of current teaching methodologies in fostering pronunciation development in this specific context. This study will contribute to the development of more effective and learner-centered pedagogical approaches for pronunciation instructions in English language programs designed for English learners in the Oromia region of Ethiopia.
Reframing “Literature as Equipment for Living:” Kenneth Burke's Theory and the Social Function of Literature
Authors: Mohammad Nadia , Mgamis Majid
Published: June 2024

This article delves into Kenneth Burke's seminal essay, "Literature as Equipment for Living," presenting a fresh perspective on literary criticism that underscores the pragmatic, societal, and political roles of literature. Burke posits that literature functions as an active agent, offering viable courses of action in response to worldly matters. Departing from traditional analyses of form and structure, Burke advocates for classifying works based on shared strategies for addressing situations. He contends that literature acts as a navigational tool, aiding in comprehension and interpretation of the world while urging readers to engage with texts for insights and inspiration in confronting life's challenges. Burke's viewpoint underscores the subjective nature of language, reflecting our individual experiences and perspectives on the world. His critical methodology advocates for a comprehensive and nuanced approach to literary critique, expanding the horizons of scholarly considerations.
