Authors: Kevin Alvito Adi Pradipta  , Doddy Hendro Wibowo
Published: February 2025

In the process of social interaction, individuals are susceptible to experiencing schadenfreude behavior. One of the factors that causes schadenfreude behavior is personality factors. The aim of this research is to determine differences in schadenfreude behavior in terms of the big five personality in early adulthood. The method used is quantitative with the Kruskas Wallis test process. There were 180 young adults who participated in the research using accidental sampling. This study used the IPIP-BFM-50 scale with dimensions of extraversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and schadenfreude behavior scale (α = 0.000). The results of this research are that there are significant differences in schadenfreude behavior in terms of the big five personality. The implication of this research is that it is hoped that early adulthood can make efforts to optimize the extraversion dimension, reduce the neuroticism dimension, and maintain the conscientiousness dimension. agreeableness, and openness so as to avoid schadenfreude behavior

Authors: Humairah Mardhiyah , Herlena Benny
Published: February 2025

Currently, students are competing to join organizations based on their interests for various purposes. However, it turns out that not all students are committed while joining the organization. It is definitely detrimental to the organization, as well as the students themselves. This research aims to determine the commitment of student volunteers and their suitability for interacting with each other. This research method is quantitative correlational. The subjects in this research were 201 final year students who were volunteer members of an organization. They had previously been selected using a purposive sampling technique. The measuring instruments used in this research are the Affective Commitment Scale, Self-Regulation Scale, and Perceived Employability Scale. This study uses multiple linear regression statistics and uses the SPSS series 16 computer as an aid in processing data. The results of this research indicate that self-regulation and perceived employability have a partial or simultaneous relationship with student volunteer commitment.

Quantifying and combining uncertainty for improving the behavior of Digital Twin Systems
Authors: Deantoni Julien , Muñoz Paula , Gomes Cláudio , Verbrugge Clark , Mittal Rakshit , Heinrich Robert , Bellis Stijn , Vallecillo Antonio
Published: February 2025

Uncertainty is an inherent property of any complex system, especially those that incorporate physical parts or operate in real environments. In this paper, we focus on the Digital Twins of adaptive systems, which are particularly complex to design, verify, and optimize. One of the problems of having two systems (the physical one and its digital replica) is that their behavior may not always be consistent. In addition, both twins are normally subject to different types of uncertainties, which complicates their comparison. In this paper we propose the explicit representation and treatment of the uncertainty of both twins, and show how this enables a more accurate comparison of their behaviors. Furthermore, this allows us to reduce the overall system uncertainty and improve its behavior by properly averaging the individual uncertainties of the two twins. An exemplary incubator system is used to illustrate and validate our proposal.
Test engines for the asset administration shell
Authors: Otto Björn , Kleinert Tobias
Published: February 2025

The Asset Administration Shell (AAS) is a standard for Digital Twins, a key element of Industry 4.0. In order to realize interoperability as its central prerequisite, manufacturers must implement the formal AAS metamodel specification correctly down to the last detail. To ensure this, conformance testing procedures should be defined and carried out as appropriate quality measures. This article presents comprehensive approaches to carry out formalized metamodel conformance tests for the AAS and its software components by describing the AAS Test Engines. First, the AAS software ecosystem is analyzed providing a systematic categorization of existing AAS software components. Based on these findings, basic building blocks and test setups needed for AAS conformance testing are identified. Then, implementation of these building blocks in the AAS Test Engines is described. Finally, usage, findings and limits of the presented methods based on a real-world case study from the AAS community are illustrated.
Wann ist ein Mann ein (Ehe-)Mann? Der Nachweis gleichgeschlechtlicher Ehen und der Geschlechtsfluidität in der römischen Kaiserzeit
Authors: Coert Jean
Published: February 2025

Dieser Text bricht mit der breit akzeptierten Forschungsannahme, dass in der Antike Ehen nur zwischen Frauen und Männern bestehen konnten, indem er untersucht, ob Ehen zwischen gleichgeschlechtlichen Partnern im Römischen Reich existiert haben. So wird an mehreren dokumentierten Fällen und Quellenpassagen, die teilweise bisher nicht in der Forschung berücksichtigt wurden, gezeigt, dass Personen intendiert im Konsens ihrer Zeitgenossen ihren sozialen Geschlechtsstatus wechseln konnten und im Rahmen ihrer neuerworbenen geschlechtsspezifischen Privilegien eine Ehe mit einer Person des gleichen biologischen Geschlechts führen konnten. Damit verbunden wird auch die Einordnung des Phänomens durch zeitgenössische Autoren nachverfolgt, denen diese Praktik zumindest teilweise gut vertraut war und die sie auch ausgiebig kritisierten. Warum diese Formen der Geschlechtsfluidität und der gleichgeschlechtlichen Ehen trotz der Kritik zunächst Bestand hatten und Duldung erfuhren, dann in der Spätantike kriminalisiert wurden und damit als Phänomen die Antike nicht überdauern konnten, wird abschließend besprochen.
A novel design methodology for preventing dislocation in the Zig-zag shroud
Authors: Du Chenhong , Wang Yanrong , Li Di , Jiang Yuanyuan
Published: February 2025

Dislocation is defined as the inability of shrouded blades to return to their normal position after deformation caused by an external force. Numerous methods exist for designing shrouds of turbine engines, targeting structural strength, sealing performance, contact interface wear, or damping. However, these designs often fail when dislocation occurs, which is a common issue in engineering. Limited methods focus on preventing shroud dislocation. In this article, we classify the dislocation of zig-zag shrouds into two patterns. A method for calculating the equivalent stiffness of the contact interface is provided to determine the clearance of non-working surfaces. Through a series of static analysis, we introduce a method to adjust the shroud shape and assess its capability in preventing dislocation. All methods are tested on a low-pressure turbine blade.
Specific Activity of Lactate Dehydrogenase in Muscle and Liver Tissues of Rats Exposed to Intermittent Hypobaric Hypoxia

Published: February 2025

As the altitude increases, the partial pressure of oxygen will decrease and cause hypobaric hypoxia conditions. During hypoxia, the anaerobic glycolysis will be activated, which is facilitated by the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme. This study aimed to analyze the LDH-specific activity in rat muscle and liver tissue, as well as lactate and glucose levels in blood plasma after intermittent hypobaric hypoxia exposure. Twenty-five Wistar rats were divided into five groups: one control group and four hypobaric hypoxia (HH) exposure groups consisting of group 1 (1× HH), group 2 (2× HH), group 3 (3× HH), and group 4 (4× HH) with a range of 7 days between exposure. This study found that LDH-specific activity increased in muscle tissues in group 1, but then decreased in the intermittent group (groups 2–4). The change in LDH-specific activity in muscle tissues was similar to the change in lactate plasma levels. Interestingly, in liver tissues, there was a slight increase in the LDH-specific activity in group 1, and it started to increase significantly in group 2 and kept increasing in groups 3 and 4. The change in LDH-specific activity in liver tissues was similar to the change in glucose plasma level. We conclude that the LDH activity in muscle tissue contributes to lactate plasma levels, but the LDH activity in liver tissue contributes to maintaining glucose plasma after intermittent hypobaric hypoxia exposures. This finding could be implemented in individuals who experience intermittent hypoxia exposures or in various diseases with hypoxic conditions as their pathogenesis
Mokusatsu Revisited
Authors: Walsh Brian P.
Published: February 2025

On July 28, 1945 Japanese Prime Minister Suzuki Kantarō apparently rejected the Potsdam Declaration, an ultimatum of the Allies calling for Japan’s surrender. In November 1950, Kazuo Kawai published an article in the Pacific Historical Review which argued that Japan’s response had been misunderstood because of the ambiguity in one of the words in that response, “mokusatsu.” However, an investigation of Prime Minister Suzuki’s response shows that he did in fact announce the rejection of the Potsdam Declaration. Moreover, mokusatsu is not an ambiguous term. Finally, Kawai worked as propagandist for the Japanese foreign ministry during the war, and evidence strongly suggests that he also did so both before and after the war as well. His mokusatsu story is best understood as propaganda.
Workers in the Field and Lawyers in the Court
Authors: Cozzens Taylor
Published: February 2025

In 1966, the Johnson administration established the largest poverty law agency in the nation: the California Rural Legal Assistance (CRLA). From the agency’s creation onward, Mexican American farmworkers in rural California directed CRLA staff to significant cases of injustice, many of which involved their communities’ disproportionate exposure to environmental hazards in and around produce fields. CRLA litigation helped lead to bans on dangerous pesticides such as Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and 1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), and it forced growers to be more transparent in their use of agrochemicals. Furthermore, the work of the CRLA helped lead to statewide regulations that required growers to provide portable toilets, washing facilities, and safe drinking water in the fields. Litigation on these matters, which CRLA attorneys later labeled “environmental poverty law,” helped expand the focus of reform from workers in the field to entire farmworker communities and helped lay the legal groundwork for the environmental justice movement in rural California.
Envoltorio y pedernal: Octavio Paz y Luis Cardoza y Aragón sacando chispas. O de las intuiciones ch’ixi sobre la identidad en El Laberinto de la soledad y Guatemala las líneas de su mano
Authors: Urízar Julio
Published: February 2025

This work compares the metaphors associated with mestizo identity and subjectivity in two essays from Latin American literature: El laberinto de la soledad (1950) by Octavio Paz and Guatemala, las líneas de su mano (1955) by Luis Cardoza y Aragón. The notions of identity and subjectivity are read as enveloping and sparkling processes, where discomfort and contradiction are inherent to the affirmative process of the Mexican and Guatemalan experiences. It is concluded that the texts express in their most poetic facet an experience of mestizo identity and subjectivity similar to Ch’ixi subjectivity, proposed by the Bolivian sociologist Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui as a space of friction and discomfort that does not allow the pacification of unity, open to the possibility of new and plural recognitions.

Published: February 2025

The Cabo Blanco Absolute Natural Reserve (RNACB) is located at the southern end of the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica. This research aimed to provide the first community-level description of rocky reefs within RNACB. Data was collected in June 2018, covering a total area of 1680 m² monitored across six transects at two depths: -5 m and -20 m. A total of 44 macroinvertebrate species were recorded, primarily represented by suspension feeders and filter feeders, mainly including ascidians and octocorals, as well as 48 fish species, notably dominated by macroinvertivore species such as surgeonfish and parrotfish. The biomass recorded was 4.91 tons.ha-1, with the highest values predominantly observed at deeper sites. Sessile macroinvertebrates were predominantly found in deeper areas, while mobile organisms showed no specific depth preference. The average biomass of fish was greater in the deeper zones, and in general, RNACB biomass exceeded the expected values for the Costa Rican Pacific.
The impact of flap suture techniques in guided bone regeneration: pilot study
Authors: Bouguezzi Adel , Benelmekki Seifeddine , Abdellatif Chokri , Hentati Hajer , Selmi Jamil
Published: February 2025

Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a pivotal surgical approach used in oral and maxillofacial surgery, specifically in dental implantology, to regenerate bone in areas where bone volume is insufficient. Collagen resorbable membranes are commonly employed in GBR due to their biocompatibility, resorption properties, and ability to promote bone regeneration by acting as barriers to soft tissue encroachment. Despite the advantages of GBR, the technique's success is significantly influenced by several factors, including the suture technique used to stabilize the membrane. Proper suturing is critical for ensuring membrane stability, minimizing complications, and promoting efficient wound healing. This pilot study evaluates the impact of three commonly used suture techniques—interrupted, continuous, and mattress sutures—on the success of GBR procedures. A total of 21 patients undergoing GBR were randomly assigned to one of the three groups. Outcomes such as membrane stability, wound healing, and bone regeneration were assessed. The study finds that mattress sutures provide superior membrane stabilization and enhance healing outcomes, while continuous sutures, although faster, may have higher rates of complications. This study offers valuable insights into the optimal suturing techniques for GBR and encourages further research with larger sample sizes and extended follow-ups.

Authors: Taylor Lateia , Hood Alexis , Mancuso Francesca , Horan Sofia , Walker Zachary
Published: February 2025

The prevalence of infertility has increased in the United States over the past decade with 1 in 5 reproductive-aged women suffering from this diagnosis. The use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) to achieve pregnancy has correspondingly steadily increased. After examining the outcomes of ART births, clear trends of increased preterm birth rate, higher-order multiples, and imprinting disorders have been established among ART-related outcomes. However, the relationship between ART and birth defects, abnormal placentation, and stillbirth require further investigation. This review aims to highlight current literature surrounding ART and its relationship with key obstetrical outcomes, neonatal outcomes, and medical genetics.
The Defenseless Victims of Nazism: the Fate of People with Special Needs in the Nazi-occupied Territories (the Case of the Verkhivtsevo Nursing Howse in the Reich Сommissariat Ukraine)
Authors: Venger A.G.
Published: February 2025

The article deals with the sad experience that the Nursing House № 3 was underwent during the Nazi Occupation (1941–1943). The establishment was located near the city of Verkhovtsevo (the general district of Dnipropetrovsk, the Reich Сommissariat Ukraine). In Nazi Germany and the occupied territories, the population was stigmatized and exterminated by the various grounds: national, religious, political and other categories. The disable people lived in special medical establishments and were state-supported. Those who had a disability and were not in maintenance facilities, but lived alone or were dependent on their relatives, were not directly oppressed by the occupation authorities. The occupation experience of the Verkhovtsevo Nursing House shows off the conditions in which people with special needs found themselves, how the local authorities and the staff of the house treated them. Nazi authorities demonstrated their derogatory attitude towards the fate of the patients of the house (the amount of food was reduced, the wards were not heated), the same happened to the staff who changed their way. In fact, in a few days the staff of the Nursing House was dehumanized: dependents have begun to receive coarse treatment, the patients were beaten and deprived of food. They were kept locked up in solitary confinement. When some of the patients who were able to move on their own began exchanging their belongings for food at the local market, the staff of the house took away the food and beat them. Subsequently, the administration forbade to leave the territory and the starving patients had to exchange their belongings with the administration. Being stigmatized for their physical characteristics, dependents were stigmatized on national, political, and military grounds. Jewish dependents were killed. The administration of the house made a list of Komsomol members and communists, interrogated and beat them, kept them in separate barracks. The same fate awaited the Red Army soldiers. The significant part of the patients was starved to death and died in unbearable conditions: cold, unsanitary conditions.

The nexus between financial development and economic growth in the SADC region: Empirical evidence using ARDL-PMG estimation techniques
Authors: Chiranga Ngonidzashe
Published: February 2025

This study aims to provide empirical insights into the financial development and economic growth nexus in the SADC region by examining how much financial development translates to economic growth in the short or long run. Also, the examination of economic growth is impacted more by external or internal factors. Also, causality testing economic growth on financial development. The study applies the panel Autoregressive Distributive method (ARDL-PMG) on a panel data set of 11 SADC countries in the period 1998-2021. The study finds a negative and significant relationship between economic growth and financial development at a 1% level of significance in the long run whereas in the short run, the relationship is negative but not significant. Furthermore, the study findings suggest that economic growth in the SADC region is more influenced by external factors than internal factors as signified by the significant negative long-run influence of external debt and the significant positive influence of trade openness. On the other hand, financial development has a neutral impact on economic growth. The study recommends that SADC countries should embrace outward-looking policies as an avenue to learn new ideas from the world.

Introduction to the Special Issue | Operating units in written language performance: Linguistic and behavioral perspectives
Authors: Cislaru Georgeta , Doquet Claire , Olive Thierry
Published: February 2025

This special issue of Journal of Writing Research addresses the fundamental question of performance units in writing: how can we characterize these units and which theoretical paradigms allow us to describe them? Despite their core role in the writing activity, there is no consensus on the nature of written performance units. In order to progress on this issue, the different articles presented in this special issue shed light on performance units, their description, definition and role in text construction. Different methodological and theoretical approaches, based on behavioral data, with pauses as a central indicator, illustrate how linguistic structures produced in these units constrain written production.
Clitic subjects as landmarks in the writing production process: A study based on a keylog-derived corpus of writing bursts
Authors: Feltgen Quentin , Lefeuvre Florence
Published: February 2025

Bursts of writing, extracted from online recordings of the writing process, have proved an invaluable vantage point into the cognitive mechanisms at work during written language production. Crucially, they show that writers, much like speakers, produce language through a sequence of small ‘chunks’, patterns-like groupings of words that do not necessarily match the structures of theoretical grammars. As such, they are intriguing objects, whose linguistic properties are yet to be understood. To contribute to this endeavor, we track all instances of French so-called clitic subjects in a corpus of 81 keylogs of short essays written by undergraduate students in experimental conditions. We show that these clitic subjects are attracted to the burst-initial position, favoring resumption of the production after revision events. Moreover, they also act like discursive hubs in that writers are more likely to revise up to a clitic subject and restart from there, possibly relying on an entirely different structure. Therefore, they play the role of landmarks in the writing process, from which information can flow, and to which writers can get back to develop alternative discursive strategies. These results hint that the writing process and the information structure of the product are likely to be intimately intricated.
Written performance indicators from experienced creative writers
Authors: Wirtz Jason
Published: February 2025

Experienced creative writers (n=10) participated in an observational eye tracking study with corresponding video and cued retrospective response interview. The eye tracking data and video informed the subsequent interviews focused on identifying written performance indicators. The following question guided the study: What performance indicators from experienced creative writers can be surfaced through a combination of eye tracking, video, and cued retrospective response within an ecologically grounded writing task? Triangulation of the data yielded 10 experienced creative writing performance indicators. Performance indicators from these experienced creative writers are notably combinatorial and map onto cognitive functions such as long-term working memory, phonological loop, and visuospatial activity in writing. Experienced creative writers also purposefully create the conditions for dispositionally guided text production.

Advancing Literary Interpretation via Critical Reading Proficiency: A Sustainable EFL Framework for Generation Z
Authors: Morsi Wesam K. , Rezk Walid A.
Published: February 2025

This research investigates the transformative potential of literary analysis in advancing English proficiency among Egyptian EFL learners, particularly those in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. The study focuses on the linguistic and analytical challenges encountered by recent public-school graduates in the Suez Governorate, where English instruction is limited to simplified texts and lacks critical engagement. Unlike their counterparts from language schools in Cairo, these students enter university without placement tests, relying solely on their high school grades, which results in underdeveloped critical reading and thinking skills. Sixty Egyptian students participated in this experimental quantitative research design. Drawing on the theoretical framework of Stylistics—a linguistic and literary approach—the paper underscores the value of applying systematic textual analysis to literary works. Stylistics, as a tool for bridging linguistic form and literary meaning, enables students to enhance both their linguistic and interpretive capabilities. By engaging with literary texts through this dual approach, learners develop deeper cognitive skills and greater critical engagement with language. The research argues for integrating Stylistics into the EFL curriculum as a sustainable pedagogical framework to cultivate critical reading proficiency, thereby supporting students’ overall linguistic development and equipping them for professional careers in the arts and humanities. This integration fosters a more profound understanding of language and literature, promoting sustainable language education for Generation Z.
Navigating Suffering and Acceptance: The Transgender Experience in Living Smile Vidya’s I Am Vidya
Authors: M Mohamed Yaseen O , Jinu R.
Published: February 2025

Living Smile Vidya’s I Am Vidya offers a raw and moving portrayal of the transgender experience, particularly focusing on the themes of suffering and acceptance. The autobiography highlights Vidya’s journey of confronting societal stigma, rejection, and personal struggle as she navigates life as a transgender woman in India. From early experiences of confusion and alienation to her eventual decision to undergo gender reassignment surgery, Vidya grapples with deep emotional and physical suffering. However, the narrative also reflects the complexity of self-acceptance—not just of her transgender identity but of the broader implications of living authentically in a world hostile to such expressions. Vidya’s story is not merely one of victimhood; it is also about her resilience, her fight for dignity, and her embrace of her true self. The title itself, I Am Vidya, serves as an affirmation of her identity and an act of defiance against the forces that seek to deny her existence. The text delves into the challenges faced by transgender individuals in Indian society, from legal hurdles to social alienation, along with portrayal of the inner transformation that comes with self-acceptance. Vidya's journey is one of painful endurance but ultimately culminates in personal liberation and empowerment. By embracing her identity, Vidya finds strength and fulfillment, transforming suffering into a source of empowerment. The autobiography becomes a powerful testament to the transgender community’s resilience and the universal search for self-acceptance and dignity.

Authors: Zhou Changyin , Hou Fanfan
Published: February 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly changing the way education is delivered, and advanced AI tools are gradually being introduced into the field of language teaching. However, research on AI usage in language teaching is still insufficient. To address this gap, this study explored how teachers can effectively use AI tools in language instruction based on the AI-TPACK framework (Yan et al., 2020). Through semi-structured interviews with 24 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers and thematic analysis using MAXQDA software, the study revealed various applications of AI tools in language teaching. The findings suggest that AI tools play important roles in preparing teaching materials, distributing and grading assignments, machine translation, guiding student practice, and facilitating classroom discussions or interactions. However, the teachers also face challenges such as inadequate technical support and training needs when using AI tools. Based on these findings, this study proposes strategies for EFL teachers to effectively use AI tools, which provide practical references for teachers to integrate AI technology and offer insights into the development of relevant educational policies.

Authors: Amin Eman Abdel-Reheem
Published: February 2025

This quasi-experimental study investigated the effects of integrating augmented reality (AR) applications into vocabulary instruction for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) students. The study involved forty students from the College of Science at Majmaah University who participated in an eleven-week vocabulary course. Participants were assigned to either an experimental group, which utilized the JigSpace AR app, or a control group, which followed traditional teaching methods. Data analysis employed quantitative methods, focusing on pre- and post-tests to measure vocabulary acquisition (comprehension and production) and questionnaires to assess student engagement (participatory, agentic, cognitive, and emotional). The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in vocabulary acquisition and engagement among students in the experimental group, providing compelling evidence for the efficacy of integrating AR into ESP vocabulary instruction.

Published: February 2025

The purpose of this research is to examine how first-year undergraduates at Al-Balqa Applied University feel about taking English classes online. The study collects data on 215 students' views on online learning's efficacy, technical tools, difficulties, learning modes, and general satisfaction using a standardized questionnaire. The data was analyzed using statistical tools such as t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square tests, and regression analysis. The results show that people are usually happy with online education, which is great because of all the benefits it offers, such ease and adaptability. Problems with internet access and being motivated were, however, major obstacles. There are notable gender disparities in the study's findings on preferred learning styles and a preference for mixed learning modalities. A high level of happiness with online learning was predicted by factors such as having access to the internet, the ability to choose when and how to study, and the opportunity to collaborate with classmates. According to the study's conclusions, online education programs should have a strong technical foundation, interactive learning resources, and individualized assistance. Despite its useful insights, the study notes its small sample size and lack of generalizability, pointing the way toward potential future studies.

Published: February 2025

This study explores the Saudi students' perspectives regarding the influence of social media on their understanding and use of English vocabulary. As social media platforms have become integral to communication, they introduce a dynamic lexicon that often diverges from traditional language norms. Through qualitative interviews and surveys, the research examines how students perceive the Impact of the New Vocabulary of social media on their Knowledge of English. It focuses on three key areas: the extent of students' exposure to social media vocabulary, its impact on their comprehension and application of standard English, and their views on the benefits and drawbacks of integrating social media language into their learning process. The findings indicate that social media significantly impacts vocabulary acquisition among Saudi students, offering both opportunities and challenges. While social media provides exposure to contemporary language and cultural expressions, it also presents challenges related to the informal nature of its vocabulary. Understanding Saudi students' perspectives on this influence can inform educational practices and support more effective language learning strategies. This study contributes to the broader discourse on language acquisition in the digital age, highlighting the need for educational strategies that bridge traditional language instruction with contemporary communication trends.
The Transformations of Prose Poetry in the Works of Amjad Nasser
Authors: Autoom Maha
Published: February 2025

This research focuses on the experience of the Jordanian poet Amjad Nasser in writing poetry, its transformations, and its evolution from the form of the free-verse (Tafi’la) poem with which he began his poetic journey, to its eventual establishment in the form of prose poetry. This form itself witnessed various transformations and changes until reaching its final shape in his latest collections. Amjad Nasser started by writing free-verse poetry that closely resembled the spirit of prose poetry in terms of form and choice of light metrical rhythms close to prose. This included themes open to life and details, the approach to the simplicity of street language, attention to the everyday, the marginal, and the neglected, leading to conciseness and eliminating unnecessary words and meanings beyond the need of the poem. Therefore, his transition to prose poetry was easy and smooth, a well-considered choice based on knowledge of free-verse poetry and its capabilities, which he utilised in writing prose poetry. His establishment in the form of prose poetry involved continuous practice in development and change. He did not settle for writing in a single form but presented aesthetic, artistic, and thematic additions in each of his collections, placing him at the forefront of prose poetry poets on both Arab and global levels.

Published: February 2025

This paper examined the effect of gender and language proficiency on the translation and judgments of ten contrastive discourse markers: but, however, nevertheless, instead, rather, in contrast, on the other hand, yet, still, on the contrary. The participants were 77 Saudi undergraduate males and females majoring in English and Translation. They were given two tasks, with 15 items in each task. Overall, the results showed that the participants were uncertain of the meaning of English contrastive discourse markers when translating them into Arabic, except but, which received the highest score. Almost all of the participants translated but as lakin or wa’lakin. However, the majority of them failed to translate those markers in combinations, reflecting their lack of knowledge of such combinations. The results also revealed that the participants were uncertain about their judgments of these markers. Their noticeable inconsistency of what makes a discourse marker suitable in one context, but not in the other, reflects the participants' inability to cope with its core meaning. As for gender, female participants scored better than their male counterparts in just four out of 30 constructions, indicating that gender produced limited effect on the participants’ performance. Finally, language proficiency only correlated with three constructions, pointing to the possibility that it has no effect on translating and using contrastive discourse markers. The findings demonstrated the importance of teaching discourse markers to undergraduate English major students to improve their skills of communication, translation and academic writing. The paper also highlighted the need for further research.

In the modern era, developing student characters has become a focal point of educational discussions. One approach that has gained significant attention is using folktales to reinforce character education values. Within this framework, character education values and the Pancasila student profile found in folktales hold substantial potential as resources for fostering student characters. The Pancasila student profile elaborates on national educational objectives to nurture Indonesian students as lifelong learners. Correspondingly, this study described the character education values embedded in the Pancasila student profile within a collection of Central Javanese folktales, which could serve as role models for students’ daily lives. This research employed a qualitative approach with content analysis, using a collection of Central Javanese folktales as its data source. A purposive sampling technique was used to select relevant stories. The findings revealed that the character education values within the folktales were categorized into six dimensions of the Pancasila student profile: 1) faith and devotion, 2) global diversity, 3) mutual cooperation, 4) independence, 5) critical thinking, and 6) creativity. Among these, the values of faith and devotion appeared most frequently in the folktales.
