The Public Struggles of True Freedom
Authors: der Weduwen Arthur
Published: September 2023

This chapter delves more deeply into the issue of public communication of ‘high politics’ by concentrating on the fraught politics surrounding the rise of the Dutch ‘True Freedom’ regime in the 1650s. It discusses the extent to which the authorities were willing to make use of ‘illicit’ means of communication, including the publication of anonymous pamphlets and the deliberate spread of misinformation. It also highlights the difficulties faced by the regents in legitimising a regime that excluded the Prince of Orange from power. Case studies include a discussion of Prince William II’s assault on Amsterdam, the defence of True Freedom by Johan de Witt, and the conflict concerning the alteration of official prayer form in the early 1660s. Reconstructing these political battles, it becomes clear that the authorities frequently invited a broad Dutch public to engage in political struggles, whenever they sensed that by doing so they could humiliate and triumph over their rivals.
State Communication and Catastrophe
Authors: der Weduwen Arthur
Published: September 2023

This chapter concentrates on the ‘Disaster Year’, 1672, when the Dutch Republic was almost destroyed by a multinational alliance led by France, and the political edifice of the state crumbled away entirely. The Grand Pensionary of Holland, Johan de Witt (a major figure in the previous two chapters) was brutally lynched by a mob of citizens in The Hague, leaving his adversary and sometime student, Prince William III of Orange, at the head of government. This chapter investigates how effective state communication collapsed and then recovered during the Disaster Year, how it was appropriated by the French and German military authorities in the occupied parts of the Netherlands, and how Prince William III became an adept manipulator of political information in the wake of the crisis.
Introduction: Bones and the Beast
Authors: Goering Nelson
Published: September 2023

Beginning with a palaeontological analogy, this introductory chapter introduces the background of prosodic reconstruction from written sources. An outline is provided of the languages examined in this book: Old English, Middle English, and Old Norse. The introduction concludes with a description of the structure of the book as a whole.
The Toolkit: Syllables, Moras, Feet, and Words
Authors: Goering Nelson
Published: September 2023

This introductory chapter provides the theoretical linguistic background of the book, introducing the prosodic hierarchy before examining those prosodic units most relevant to words and their internal structure. Special attention is given to the bimoraic trochee and issues relevant to foot structure, such as syllable weight and stress patterns. The typological grounding of these approaches is stressed, but contextualised within a cautious understanding of linguistic universals.
The Hēafudu-problem: Early Old English Foot Structure
Authors: Goering Nelson
Published: September 2023

This chapter reassesses the phenomenon of high-vowel deletion in late prehistoric Old English, arguing that the high vowels *i and *u are retained when part of a bimoraic trochee, and are deleted otherwise. This explains why in the plural of the word hēafud ‘head’, the nominative-accusative shows no deletion in the oldest forms: (hēa)(fu-du) falls into two feet, each with exactly two moras. This contrasts with forms such as the dative plural hēafdum, which shows loss of the historical medial *u: in a prehistoric form such as *(hæu)-βu(-dum), the medial vowel could not be incorporated within a bimoraic foot. Apparent exceptions to this theory of high-vowel deletion in later Old English can be straightforwardly explained as motivated analogical restructurings. The chapter concludes with a preliminary description of early Old English foot structure.
Examining the forms and meaning of the Arusa dialect of the Maa verb expansions
Authors: Simon Chipanda
Published: September 2023

The paper examines the form and meaning of the Arusa dialect of the Maa verb extensions. Verb expansion aspects in the Maa language are not interesting for scholars to study at all. It is this study that was interested in examining the Maa verb expansion. Case study design and qualitative approach were used in studying the Maa language. The unstructured interview was applied in data collection; thus, six informants of Arusa native speakers were used for data collection due to their competence in writing and speaking the Maa. The data were presented by using Leipzig Glossing Rules which constitute three levels namely:  word order or parsing level, the literal translation, and the free translation level. The Cognitive Grammar and Morpheme-based morphology theories were tools used for data analysis. The study found that -in-, -i-, -e- are causative; -ta-, -to- reciprocal, -ki- applicative; -i- stative and -ki- passive allomorphs in Arusa. In view of these allomorphs -ki- and -i- are semantically cyclic in the sense that -ki- has dual meaning as in passive and applicative and -i- can be semantically stative or causative. Syntactically, both -ki- and -i- function as valency decreasing or increasing. For this fact Cognitive Grammar Theory exhausts these forms of complexity and those without cyclic as in -to-, -ta- and -e-, -in- are handled by morpheme-based theory as it accounts for the semantics of different verb exponents.  In general, peculiarities in shapes, types, meanings, and categories of Arusa verbal morphs need a comparative study of Maa and other language families for theoretical harmonization.

Authors: Nguyen Thi Mo
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this research is to provide a systematic review on the flipped classroom (FL) approach in English language teaching (ELT) in Vietnam in terms of the trends and the key results, based on 12 published articles. A content analysis method was employed to analyze the collected papers. The findings indicated that the implementation of flipped learning appeared to gradually increase in Vietnam since 2017 and remain its prosperity in the higher education context.

The impact of social media as teaching and learning tool on higher education: A case study of Van Hien University
Authors: Nguyen Thuy Vy , Truong Thi Thanh Tuyen
Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused universities to switch from traditional to online teaching and learning methods. As a result, social media has gradually become prominent as a teaching and learning resource in universities.

This study examines the positive impact of social media use on (a) enhancing teaching and learning in universities, (b) motivating and supporting students, and (c) developing community connections and assesses limitations of social networks in student learning within the university context. A qualitative approach with explicitly utilizing in-depth interviews was employed to collect data from ten lecturers and 19 students of all faculties of Van Hien University. The results of this case study have shown the positive effects of social media: enriching the teaching and learning experience in higher education by inspiring and supporting student as well as promoting community connections. Integrating social media as a teaching and learning tool in higher education is part of the modern educational landscape.
Benefits and challenges in integrating service-learning of social sciences subject in higher education
Authors: Tran Thi Anh Thu
Published: September 2023

Service-Learning (SL) is an educational approach integrating learning through experiences with community service. Several higher education institutions in Vietnam are gradually adopting this approach in recent years, although SL has been widely applied in the Western education system since the 1990s. By doing a narrative literature review, this paper aims to clarify the benefits and challenges of embedding SL in training social science subjects in high education, especially regarding mechanisms to promote participation among relevant stakeholders, including lecturers, communities and students. Through the analysis, the benefits of SL are well-equipping students with the basic knowledge of the subjects, methodology and commitment to civic responsibility. Service-Learning allows educational institutions and lecturers to enhance efficacy, effectiveness and performing social responsibility. Community members directly benefit from SL projects. Some challenges in applying SL include the need for clarity in distinguishing between volunteer work, internships and SL, resulting in the inaccurate assessment of the roles and the concerns of different stakeholders in SL. Regarding participation, there are two main challenges. The first challenge concerns organising work and effective communication between the community, universities and students. The second is about stakeholder engagement and their actual performance in SL cooperation. This paper proposes setting up an SL department as a facilitator for supporting lecturers, connecting relevant departments in the University and connecting the University with the community.

Terminologia al servizio della traduzione
Authors: Kardos Orsolya
Published: September 2023

While the theory of terminology was originally developed to harmonise concepts in technical fields, with the emergence of translation studies, it became soon clear that some of the pre-conditions of terminological standardisation, such as the absence of synonymy andpolysemy, are not fulfilled in professional communication. Another issue is the lack of full equivalence in some cases or the diachronic variation of terms. New approaches to terminology take these phenomena into account, therefore they are better suited to forming the basis of translation-oriented terminology. This article explores terminology issues that a translator usually encounters when translating technical texts and argues that a translator needs terminological competence in order to be able to address these challenges.

Si tenta, attraversi gli importanti contributi, di comprendere la temperatura e lo stato delle arti performative e delle discipline che le studiano durante questa frattura storica.
Potere e lotta delle mondariso vercellesi ai primi del Novecento
Authors: Sacco-Morel Michela
Published: September 2023

Between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, the women rice weeders gained political visibility and participated in the construction of a new emancipatory and egalitarian law. From their first claims that were limited to wage increases totheir demand for an eight-hour working day in the rice fields, these women engaged themselves in local and national political life, learning to to turn the confining rules and laws of the very legislation that enchained them into weapons to claim new rights. Their fight and their successes are celebrated in various rice field songs, the texts of which allow us to reflect on the existence of a symbiotic link between the socialist party and these heroic women, who took on the double role of teaching socialism to other workers and exercising authority over the governing bodies of the new party.
Paradoxa legis. Pirandello e la giustizia (in)civile nelle «Novelle per un anno»
Authors: Minarda Mario
Published: September 2023

In some of Pirandello’s short stories there is an irremediable conflict between right and laws. If the former represents the world of nature, the absolute spontaneity of passions and moods linked to furor, as well as the universe of the peasant countryside, the latter is the expression of an urban civilization, based on order and objective facts. However we find that elements such as the crime of honor, adultery, social redemption, the right to work, relating to the cultural identity of the characters, clash with the boureacracy of the courts and the absurdity of official laws, which rather reflect bourgeois hierarchies and power circles that are difficut to dismantle. In investigating all this, the author, although he starts from forms and figures of the classical myth (including the Orestea of Aeschylus and Oedipus king of Sophocles), provocatively unmasks modern society full of rethoric and iniquity. The result of a chaotic and disintegrating world.
“Anche l’Ungheria ebbe sulla scena il suo quarto d’ora di gloria”
Authors: Fried Ilona
Published: September 2023

In the interwar years Hungarian prose and comedy enjoyed international fame.  Ferenc Molnár was the leading playwright among internationally renowned Hungarian authors. My contribution tries to shed light on the reception of Ferenc Molnár in Italy by one of the greatest theater critics of the time, Silvio d’Amico. Molnár, whose novel The Paul Street Boys is still widely read in Italy, has been almost completely missing from the Italian stages in recent decades. Despite the negative opinion of Franco Quadri in 1996, partially quoted in the title of this article, it must be emphasized that in recent decades Molnár has been acknowledged by some theatergoers and international scholars as one of the most outstanding playwrights of the twentieth century. The article highlights the appreciation of Molnár’s dramaturgy: its great originality and its overcoming the limitations of the bourgeois comedy thanks to his exceptional sense of humor, the unexpected situations, and the brilliant dialogues that provide a glimpse into a particular cultural atmosphere of a modern society. Although Silvio d’Amico finds Molnár to be a really good playwright, he fails to understand his true stature.
L’italia nello specchio del “noir”
Authors: Guagnini Elvio
Published: September 2023

The term “noir” is often used nowadays as a synonym to “detective story”, sometimes without a clear differentiation between the two. In fact, “noir” refers to a recent phase of the “detective, crime novel” (in Italian: “giallo”), its “tougher”, more realistic version, with contexts and situations permeated with a more modern form of violence: sometimes organized, more brutal and more cynical.Today’s “noir” can be traced back to the American “detective story” of the 1930s (that of the “hard boiled” genre) whereas the Italian “noir” finds its roots in the more modern phase of the detective literature (from the 1960s up to now), when the tale of mystery, the criminal novel, evolves in a country which, together with its development, is also developing negative features.This work examines publications that can be defined as representatives of the genres (and sub genres) of the “mystery literature” of the past years, giving an insight into the debate on the difference between the detective and the recently evolved noir literature (and on these two genres in general). It also considers the respective initiatives to publish them , their presence in the cultural pages of newspapers and media, the discussions on the characteristics and the status of the two genres, with hints to works and writers as for example, among the others, Giancarlo De Cataldo, Loriano Macchiavelli, Hans Tuzzi, Cristina Cassar Scalia, Grazia Verasani, Gianrico Carofiglio, Valerio Varesi, Alessandro Robecchi, Nino Motta (Paolo Di Stefano).
La fine del Novecento teatrale tra storia e storiografia
Authors: Mango Lorenzo
Published: September 2023

The first historiographical effort to build a history of 20th century theatre is to identify the chronological coordinates that circumscribe it. It is a problem that concerns more the historiographical approach to the subject than the search for a historical truth. The question of the beginning and the end of the century, in fact, mainly concerns the critical analysis and the point of view from which the phenomena are observed. The historiographical problem is not to establish a possible date to start or end the twentieth century, but to establish what meaning we attribute to these extremes. If for the beginning of the twentieth century the critical debate has come to some conclusions more or less shared, the question of the end of the twentieth century is still open. The aim of the essay is to examine the subject through the analysis of some critical positions and some artistic experiences. Guccini, Schechner and De Marinis’ studies pose the problem of how stage practice and the idea of theatre were transformed in the eighties identifying at that time a break in the process of twentieth-century innovation. In many ways the same happens in artistic production as evidenced by Federico Tiezzi. It is not a process of regression but a new approach to language that starts from the principle of modern as classicism and from the idea that research on language is transformed into the practice of the spoken language of the contemporary.
Celebrating the reconciliation : potentialities of Pentecostal worship for reconciliation and peace in the context of the Great Lakes Region
Authors: Kusinza Alain Nkinzo
Published: September 2023

This publication focuses on the research question: "What can the potential role of Christian worship in the Great Lakes region be to promote reconciliation and peace and healing after social and ethnic violence and conflicts?" The answer this book proposes is that a reconstructed Pentecostal Worship will significantly contribute to the process of reconciliation, peace-making, and healing of the ethnic groups in the Great Lakes region. The study theorises a Pentecostal practical theology backed in the theologies of reconstruction, politics and reconciliation. Using an empirical approach, this book draws on the spiritual, cultural, demographical and sociological potentials at the disposal of Pentecostal leaders to promote a reconstructed Pentecostal worship. It envisions a new praxis of spiritual potentials like prophecy, testimony, glossolalia, and emotional praising as opportunities to reconcile and heal people.

Authors: Gedamu Abate Demissie
Published: September 2023

Now a day every classroom is composed of multi-level students in terms of language proficiency level. To this effect, this study examined secondary school English language teachers' perceived multi-grade teaching strategies. An analytical survey research design was adopted as the nature of the study was hypothesis testing. 65 EFL teachers were selected from five secondary schools in the Gamo Zone through a systematic random sampling technique. A questionnaire was used to collect data from the teachers on their perceived multi-grade teaching strategies.  A one-sample t-test, a one-way ANOVA test, and Tukey post hoc analysis were used to analyze the data. The study concluded that the English language teachers have had an above-middling understanding of multi-grade teaching strategy in general although their perceptions varied differentially across the subscales. Based on the findings, the local education bureau has been recommended to organize an intervention to build the teachers’ multi-grade pedagogical capacity to address all students.

A survey carried out among first year pharmacy students on their knowledge and opinions regarding the uses of non-FDA approved use of selected psychotropic drugs, namely duloxetine, escitalopram and quetiapine, revealed mixed results. Based on a set of five knowledge-based questions, an average of 39.5% of the survey participants scored correct answers on duloxetine. For escitalopram, the average correct response rate was 47.2%, and 32.2% for quetiapine. The highest correct response rate on a single question was 89.5% for duloxetine, 87.2% on two of the questions for escitalopram, and 77.1% for quetiapine. Comparison of each of the highest correct response to each of the responses within each drug showed significant differences (p< 0.05). Conflicting opinions of survey participants were discerned regarding the off-label uses of duloxetine, with 65.8% expressing it should not be approved for urinary incontinence, and yet they are evenly divided (50% each) in their opinion on the use of non-approved drugs in general. More than 50% of the respondents held the opinion that escitalopram should not be used off-label for social phobia, while less than 41% were aware of its use for such non-approved indication. About 60% of respondents within the quetiapine survey group thought the drug should not be used for generalized anxiety disorder, which is in concordance with the low 36%-40% who believe it should be promoted for non-approved uses. Due to the small sample size of survey participants (n =37-39), the results of this survey cannot be generalized to first-year pharmacy students in other colleges of pharmacy.

Published: September 2023

Phytochemicals are bioactive compounds that have protective or disease preventive properties which are considered to be beneficial to human health. Plants have been used to cure various diseases of humans for ages. Five different plants; Mangifera indica, Psidium guajava, Persea americana, Allium cepa and Tithonia diversifolia were screened for their phytochemical properties. The plants were obtained from Jos North LGA of Plateau state. The leaves were destalked, washed and dried under shade and then grounded into powder, 250g of each plant powder was soaked in 500ml of 95% ethanol and water in beakers. After 48 hours, the fluid was sieved and filtered. The filtrate was then concentrated with the aid of an evaporator at 65OC. The plant extracts were screened for the presence of bio-agents and antibacterial activity using standard procedures. The phytochemical profile of the extracts of the five plants showed that flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, phenols, terpenes and cardiac glycosides were present. The results revealed that all the plant species showed antibacterial activity on Aeromonas hydrophila, with the ethanolic extracts of P. guajava exhibiting the highest inhibitory effect on the organism with inhibition mean zone of 21.05mm at a concentration of 250mg/ml. These were followed by the ethanolic extracts of M. indica and P. americana with mean zones of 18.16 and 13.39 mm respectively. Antibiotic resistance by microorganisms is a serious public health concern. This study has demonstrated that some plant extracts can be a means of treating Aeromonas infections which is cost effective with minimal side effects.
Contraceptive Use Among Women of Reproductive Age in Dekina Local Government Secretariat, Kogi State, Nigeria
Authors: Alhassan Emmanuel Onu
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Access to safe and effective contraceptive methods is one of the cornerstones of reproductive health which can help prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduce maternal morbidity and mortality. The study aims to assess the factors affecting contraceptive use among women of reproductive age in Dekina Local Government Secretariat, Kogi State, Nigeria. Methods: The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design. A total of 28 women of reproductive age participated in the study. Hypotheses were formulated and questionnaires were administered to the participants. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The findings show that religion [F (3, 24) = 3.920, P< .05), decision-making power [F (2, 25) = 8.927, P< .05], husband’s/partner’s disapproval of contraceptive use [F (1, 26) = 35.038, P< .05], and exposure to media [F (2, 25) = 3.920, p< .05] significantly influences the use of contraceptive among women of reproductive age. Age [F (3, 24) = .1.349, P> .05)], and level of education [F (3, 24) = .789, P> .05] were not significantly associated with the use of contraceptives. Additionally, the perception of women regarding the use of contraceptives is a significant factor that predicts it’s use [t (1, 26) = - 2.309, p< .05]. Conclusion: Factors that influence contraceptive use among women of reproductive age in Dekina Local Government Secretariat, Kogi State, Nigeria includes religion, decision-making power, husband’s/partner’s disapproval, and exposure to media. There is a need to increase awareness of the importance of contraceptive use and empower women to make decisions regarding their reproductive health.

Published: September 2023

Theoretical structural and vibrational study for the ethylene oxide dimer have been performed by using the experimental structure determined by X-ray diffraction, the vibrational spectra and, the functional hybrids B3LYP/6-311++G** and WB97XD/6-311++G** methods. Here, the effects of dispersion on intermolecular interactions and on complete assignments of infrared and Raman spectra of dimer have been performed combining the Pulay´s scaled quantum mechanical force field (SQMFF) methodology with those two levels of calculations in order to fit the theoretical wavenumbers values to the experimental ones. Calculations including long-range corrections have revealed similar optimized energy, volume and frequencies to calculated with the B3LYP/6-31G* method, lower correlations in the geometrical parameters, higher stabilization energy, higher values in the topological parameters and higher scaled force constants than the obtained at B3LYP/6-311++G** level. Natural bond order (NBO) and atoms in molecules theory (AIM) studies with both methods reveal two types of intermolecular interactions (C-O···H and C-O···O) in the ethylene oxide dimer in accordance with the bands observed in the experimental Raman spectrum at low temperatures and with the experimental structure determined at 100 K. The nature of those interactions and their topological properties were studied by using NBO and AIM calculations. The studied properties for the ethylene oxide dimer were analyzed and compared with those obtained for the monomer. Similar assignments of the vibrational modes for dimer were obtained using the three different methods.
