A Study on the Stylistic Features and Teaching Strategy of Kuo Pao Kun’s Chinese Expressionist Drama ¬——“Kopi Diam” and “The Silly Little Girl and the Funny Old Tree”
Authors: Li Zhengjun , Lay Tan Chee
Published: November 2024

“Expressionist” drama is different from traditional realistic drama. It has features like anti-conflict, anti-logical structure and shows the inner state of the characters. Therefore, in the process of expressionist drama teaching, it is necessary to highlight the characteristics of “dramatic” and “stylistic”. Here, we will take Singapore’s national treasure Kuo Pao Kun’s dramas “Kopi Diam” and “The Silly Little Girl and the Funny Old Tree” as examples to discuss the stylistic features and teaching strategy for expressionist drama to promote the effective teaching.

O câncer infantil, principalmente a Leucemia Linfóide Aguda (LLA), embora tenha uma alta taxa de sobrevida de 5 anos (90%), apresenta desafios psicológicos consideráveis para as crianças, as quais enfrentam transformações corporais, tratamentos intensos e uma mudança drástica na rotina. A pesquisa busca enfatizar a necessidade de um ambiente hospitalar humanizado, com foco tanto na recuperação biológica, quanto psicossocial da criança. Esta revisão bibliográfica integrativa, foi realizada através de plataformas, sendo o Public Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (PubMed), Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) e Portal Nacional da BVS (BVSALUD), selecionou 21 artigos publicados entre 2010 e 2020 em inglês, português e espanhol. Os resultados apontam que, apesar dos avanços na cura da leucemia pediátrica, o diagnóstico ainda é desafiador, e o estigma social associado ao câncer impacta o bem-estar psicológico da criança. Em vista disso, é vital uma abordagem terapêutica humanizada que integre aspectos biopsicossociais e emocionais, com profissionais de saúde fornecendo apoio crucial. Dessa forma, estratégias como brinquedotecas e programas educacionais em hospitais são essenciais para melhorar o bem-estar mental das crianças durante o tratamento. Em resumo, para uma abordagem eficaz da leucemia pediátrica, tratamentos clínicos devem ser combinados com suporte emocional e atividades lúdicas.

Authors: Oino Peter Gutwa , Musau Enock
Published: November 2024

Community engagement and participatory approaches are essential for effective climate adaptation in Kenya, particularly when integrating local communities into resilience-focused efforts that consider cultural and linguistic diversity. This review employs a desktop methodology, guided by a theoretical framework rooted in participatory action research, cultural anthropology, and the CSAM (Cultural-Sustainable Agroforestry Model (CSAM)), to synthesize key studies on climate adaptation in Kenya. It examines how local stakeholders are integrated into planning and resilience programming, with a focus on the importance of indigenous knowledge and cultural contexts in shaping effective adaptation strategies. The review highlights the crucial role of communication strategies in disseminating climate information and fostering community engagement, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches that resonate with diverse linguistic and cultural groups. Practical insights show that participatory, culturally informed strategies are central to building community resilience and promoting sustainable development in the face of climate challenges. The review concludes that effective climate adaptation requires a multifaceted approach that prioritizes community engagement, culturally appropriate methods, and robust communication to ensure locally relevant and sustainable adaptation measures. Furthermore, the adoption of the CSAM model is essential for integrating indigenous knowledge, cultural practices, and modern scientific approaches, ensuring that local contexts are central to the adaptation process. Recommendations include enhancing participatory planning, incorporating indigenous knowledge systems, strengthening communication channels, addressing vulnerability hotspots, and integrating adaptation into broader development planning. The review calls for further research that employs mixed-methods approaches to assess the long-term impacts of climate adaptation, evaluate the effectiveness of communication strategies, document indigenous knowledge, and explore cross-regional comparisons to support climate adaptation efforts in Kenya

Published: November 2024

The study intended to determine the reliability of the product on customer perception in network marketing products: a case of Oriflame, Forever Living and Avon Companies among SAUT Students in Mwanza-Tanzania, Moreover, the theory of planned behaviour was adopted by the study. Furthermore, the study was a quantitative study which employed descriptive design. The study used 375 respondents which responded to questionnaires and regression analysis was employed to analyze and present data. Also, the reliability coefficient of the instruments was 0.9. The study revealed that while customers generally perceive Oriflame, Forever Living, and Avon products positively, there are significant areas for improvement include product performance, packaging, and detailed usage instructions. Customer feedback indicated that prolonged use is linked to brand loyalty, yet many participants rated the products neutrally in terms of value for money and brand trust. Content engagement was rated highly, suggesting that enhancing interactive and engaging content could benefit these companies. The study concludes that although customers are generally satisfied with the network market products, there is a need to improve product distinctiveness, packaging quality, and clarity of information to build stronger brand loyalty. Addressing these areas can enhance customer trust and satisfaction, thereby increasing competitive advantage in the network marketing landscape. It is therefore recommended that network market products should enhance their product and packaging distinctiveness and partner with well-connected influencers to improve marketing effectiveness. Additionally, companies should focus on creating highly engaging content and addressing any product quality and packaging issues promptly to meet customer expectations and foster loyalty

Published: November 2024

Indonesia's healthcare industry boasts a thriving pharmaceutical sector with revenue exceeding $9 billion. However, it faces a critical challenge. The infrastructure, with only 1.17 hospital beds per thousand inhabitants, struggles to meet the growing demand fueled by the rapid expansion of the JKN program, which now covers over 200 million participants. To address this challenge, this research proposes a Knowledge Based Performance Management Systems (KBPMS) framework, tailored for the healthcare sector. The framework encompasses 29 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) categorized into three perspectives: Business Result, Internal Business Process, and Resource Capability. These KPIs provide a comprehensive and balanced assessment of healthcare organizations' performance across critical dimensions. Analysis of the proposed KPIs reveals that hospitals prioritize organizational development, emphasizing the importance of teamwork, knowledge sharing, and leadership skills among staff. These factors are crucial for fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment, enabling hospitals to deliver high-quality care and adapt to the evolving healthcare landscape. The KBPMS framework offers a valuable tool for healthcare organizations to enhance their performance management practices. By adopting this framework, hospitals can effectively measure, monitor, and improve their operations, leading to better patient outcomes and organizational sustainability. The research highlights the KBPMS framework's potential in Indonesia, but further research is needed to explore its effectiveness in broader healthcare settings and its long-term impact.

Published: November 2024

Mastering knowledge at the level of high-level academic interpretation is sometimes a difficult task. The main reason for this lies in an incorrectly formed teaching methodology. Since the methodology has not been empirically developed properly, it does not meet the requirements of the time and is not able to meet social and educational needs. Naturally, periodic changes put forward new requirements for the methodological competence of teachers. Therefore, it is advisable to ensure that the process of developing teachers' methodological competence is creatively described in the professional development system. The article presents a creative description of the content of the development of methodological competence of teachers in the educational system.

PARTICIPATION OF KOREAN WOMEN IN POLITICAL LIFE
Authors:   Lecturer, Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies, Uzbekistan, Alimova Laziza
Published: November 2024

The article examines the history of the formation of the study of the status of women in society, there is a lot of debate about the type of social system that is most conducive to the emancipation of women. The Western model of modernization implies that accelerated industrialization removes traditional restrictions for women and will change the traditional sexual division of labor, thereby contributing to the liberation of women. This is due to the fact that the results of modernization primarily affected men working in the public sphere, while women were limited to the domestic sphere.

Thus, the widespread subordination or submission of women, from this point of view, in capitalist societies is seen as a deviation from the proclaimed Western social norms of equality, freedom and justice. It is assumed that all problems of gender inequality in society can be solved within the framework of the Western system through the introduction of legal reforms and changing attitudes towards them. According to this point of view, it is assumed that women can be liberated by being integrated into the modernization process and the social and political sphere of capitalist structures.

Analysis of Two EFL Writing Genres Using Appraisal Theory
Authors: Alhuthali, M
Published: November 2024

EFL students must master the technicalities of English and learn how to construct arguments in the language. This means that they need to be able to use their emotions to create the desired impression. Appraisal Theory can be used to study their success in this aspect of language acquisition. This study examined word usage in two short essays by EFL students. One asked them to describe the location they had visited, and the other asked them to compare two such locations. Overall, most students made limited use of appraisal terms, but this was more common in the comparative essay, suggesting that the task structure encouraged such usage. Implications for further research and teaching of ESL are also considered.

Authors: Agbevivi Shine Lillian Gifty , Acquaye Vivian Naa Ayelesa
Published: November 2024

Diverse opinions on the value of student internships in Ghana are expressed in the literature. This study examined the effects of the teaching internship program on the English language teaching abilities of student teachers. The Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) was used in the study. The research is a descriptive survey that was conducted in Ghanaian universities and Colleges of Education (CoEs). We used a basic random sampling procedure to select a sample of 286 respondents. A closed-ended questionnaire with an excellent internal consistency and a reliability coefficient of 0.75 was used to obtain the data. Frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were used to analyze the data. The results of the study showed improvements in all areas assessed, including the capacity to explain English language concepts, employ a variety of communication techniques, involve students in class discussions, give constructive criticism, answer questions from students with assurance, and convey lesson objectives. The findings also revealed positive effects across all measured domains including improvements in the ability to maintain classroom discipline, manage time during lessons, deal with disruptive behaviors, create an engaging and inclusive learning environment, organise classroom activities and assignments, and use positive reinforcement to manage student behavior. The study concludes that the teaching internship meme is highly effective in developing communication and managerial skills of interns essential for successful English language instruction in Ghanaian classrooms. It was recommended that the institutions should enhance the teaching internship program by integrating advanced communication techniques, comprehensive classroom management training, and increasing mentorship and resources for lesson planning. Introduce regular evaluations and reflective practices to improve student-teachers' skills. Additionally, management should promote collaboration between the University of Education, Winneba, and affiliated CoEs to standardize effective teaching practices.
Youth, Social and Behavioral Change, and Violent Extremism in Niger
Authors: Van Metre Lauren , Ramsey Jasmine , Adeojo Opeyemi , Bernstein Karen
Published: November 2024

In 2022, amidst a backdrop of growing violent extremism in the region, NDI launched a pilot preventing/countering violent extremism (P/CVE) program for youth in Abala, a commune in Niger. The program also integrated social and behavioral change (SBC) research and approaches in youth-political party programming from 2022–2023. The primary objective of the pilot was to establish youth as the experts on their lived experience of violent extremism. The pilot did so by bringing rural and village youth together to understand the intersectional risk of violent extremism in their commune and to design programming by and for youth to address that complex threat. With the understanding that women in Niger, especially in rural communities, were not bystanders in violent extremist operations (instead involved in recruitment and funding), gender was also a central aspect of this pilot’s intersectional approach. The program included a subsequent phase aimed at bringing youth leaders together with community and political party leaders to advocate for youth-led P/CVE analysis and programming. This phase held considerable risk due to the stereotypes and intransigent beliefs held by youth and political leaders in Niger.

Acknowledging that these deep-seated stereotypes and beliefs presented real barriers to successful outcomes, NDI reached out to Beyond Conflict to work with local partner SOS Civisme to research, design, and integrate experimental SBC research and interventions. These included radio programming and community dialogues that targeted norms and beliefs concerning youth that were being perpetuated by elites to maintain their exclusionary systems of power, such as the notion that youth lack decision-making and leadership capacity. The programming also focused on the importance of youth leadership and agency in P/CVE efforts.

Based on findings from this joint initiative, this policy note presents considerations and recommendations to better understand and address youth vulnerability to violent extremism in Niger. More broadly, the note demonstrates the under-utilized potential to incorporate behavioral science into P/CVE programming for greater, more durable impact.

The Influence of Process Parameters on Tensile Features of Vetiver Fiber Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites
Authors: Zaman Haydar
Published: November 2024

Due to their outstanding specific strength and modulus, fiber-reinforced polymer composites have long been influential in a range of applications. Composites made of thermoplastic and vetiver fiber (VF) offer an alternative to synthetic polymers that cause environmental contamination. The advantages of natural fibers (like banana, sisal, coir, jute, vetiver, flax, hemp, kenaf, etc.) over conventional reinforcing fibers (glass and carbon fiber) are their ease of procurement, renewability, non-corrosive nature, light density, biodegradability, high specific energy (strength of density ratio), and low cost. In place of costly chemical treatment of VF in polymer composites, VF length management has been offered as a low-cost and ecologically friendly alternative. In the current study, VF-reinforced low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composites were altered using the film process stacking method with the hot press compression molding technique using a variety of process parameters, including VF condition (untreated and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) treatment), VF sizes (short VF < 3 cm and long VF > 3 cm), and VF percent (5, 10, and 15 wt%). The tensile modulus and modulus efficiency factor of the LDPE composite were studied in relation to the impacts of VF size, VF content, and SDS treatment. The results showed that a specific amount of tensile modulus and modulus efficiency factor was boosted by VF content up to 10 wt%, processing temperature up to 160oC, and SDS treatment during processing up to 5 hours due to an increase in load bearing and interfacial adhesion. The improvement in tensile modulus and its efficiency factor because of efficient load transfer is evidently attributable to long VF load transfers, which have had a favourable impact. The brittle nature of the fibers caused a loss in ductility.
De novo genetic variant in epileptic encephalopathy: Importance of specific diagnosis
Authors: Morán Fernández Johana Marcela , Moreno Giraldo Lina Johanna
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Early infantile epileptic encephalopathies (EIEE) are rare syndromes that affect neurological development. The etiology has been uncertain for a long time, but advances in genetics have identified numerous associated genes. Variants in the CYFIP2 gene have been linked to EIEE.
Clinical case: An 11-year-old female born at term without complications, with microcephaly, synophrys, and short neck. No relevant family history. At one month, she developed generalized seizures and delayed neurodevelopment, progressing to severe spastic quadriparesis, requiring gastrostomy and tracheostomy, with paroxysmal discharges on electroencephalogram. She received multiple anticonvulsant medications and ketogenic therapy. Complete individual exome sequencing and analysis of deletions and duplications were requested. Individual complete exome + deletions and duplications analysis (CNV) identified a probably pathogenic heterozygous variant in the CYFIP2 gene variant c.259C>T (p.Arg87Cys) missense type, allelic ratio (VAF) 0.45. The results of this molecular study support the diagnosis of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy de novo.
Discussion: Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (EED) disorders are severe conditions that begin in childhood, characterized by epileptic seizures, abnormalities in the electroencephalogram, and deterioration of neurodevelopment. Genetic EEDs are associated with variants in various genes related to cellular and neuronal functions. The CYFIP2 gene, on chromosome 5q33.3, encodes protein 2 that interacts with FMRP (fragile X mental retardation protein), playing a crucial role in neurological development. De novo variants, such as nonsense mutations and truncation in CYFIP2, are associated with intellectual disability, seizures, and muscle hypotonia. Advancements in genomics are improving the understanding of epilepsy, impacting targeted treatment, prognosis, and patient counseling. Childhood epilepsy has a heterogeneous genetic basis, and some patients without previous diagnosis can now receive one, crucial for the implementation of precision medicine.

Humanoid robotics is at the forefront of current robotics research, as it aims to enable robots to interact with the environment and people in complex, dynamic ways. This field emphasizes social interactions, like gesture-based communication and collaborative activities, which integrate both physical and social engagement. This integration, essential for three-way interaction, seeks to merge physical and social dynamics at fundamental levels. In military contexts, technological innovation has created a need for robots capable of performing tasks akin to those of a soldier. This project focuses on building a humanoid robot designed to execute essential military operations through the use of speech recognition technology.

Se evalúan los efectos económicos producidos por un brote de fiebre aftosa en animales de un hato lechero de 290 cabezas de ganado Pardo Suizo y Holstein, de las cuales 80 vacas se encontraban en producción y el resto estaba constituído por ganado horro y animales de levante. Se contabilizaron para este caso unas pérdidas económicas directas totales de 2.758.303 pesos colombianos, de los 2.218.543 pesos (80%) estaban representados por los daños directos ocasionados al hato, 114.059 pesos (4%) en costos de control de la enfermedad y 425.701 pesos (16%) en gastos de recuperación de los animales afectados por el brote. Al analizar las anteriores pérdidas causadas por la fiebre aftosa a la explotación lechera, la participación de las variables económicas consideradas fue la siguiente: 1. Disminución del 26% de la producción anual de leche en el hato; 2. Los problemas reproductivos afectaron a un 17% de los vientres aptos para la reproducción; 3. Por reducción de peso corporal (23 kg por animal enfermo), se calcularon pérdidas monetarias para la explotación que correspondieron a un 10% del total; 4. Aunque la tasa de morbilidad general (prevalencia periódica) fue muy alta (74%), la tasa de mortalidad fue muy reducida (0,7%), lo cual indica que el control fue efectivo; 5. Los efectos económicos totales, calculados por animal enfermo, fueron de 12.889 pesos colombianos. En conclusión, la magnitud de las pérdidas causadas por la fiebre aftosa, justifica plenamente cualquier esfuerzo que las entidades gubernamentales o particulares y aún el mismo ganadero realicen para desarrollar una tecnología y aplicar un sistema de manejo que permita alcanzar un control efectivo de la enfermedad.

Durante los años 2003 y 2004,el Programa de Biología de la Conservación de Cenicafé realizó tres caracterizaciones regionales de la biodiversidad en paisajes cafeteros que aún son dominados por cafetales con sombra. Como grupos focales de estudio se eligieron las plantas, las aves y las hormigas. Como localidades se seleccionaron El Cairo en el Valle del Cauca, Támesis en Antioquia y la zona cafetera de los municipios de Páramo, Pinchote, San Gil y Socorro en Santander. Estas caracterizaciones son parte del proyecto “Conservación y uso sostenible de la biodiversidad en los Andes colombianos” desarrollado por el Instituto de Investigación de Recursos Biológicos Alexander von Humboldt, con fondos provenientes de una beca GEF/Banco Mundial y el apoyo económico de la Embajada Real de los Países Bajos. En este boletín técnico se presentan y se explican los resultados obtenidos para la zona cafetera de Santander y se proponen según estos hallazgos, qué estrategias se pueden seguir para que en estas localidades se haga una mejor conservación de la biodiversidad. Se presenta el listado de plantas, aves y hormigas encontrados en los paisajes cafeteros de esta zona de estudio.
