The Predicaments of Radical Individualism and the Gothic Return of Paternal Legacy in Charles Brockden Brown’s Wieland
Authors:   Institute of British & American Studies Center for International Area Studies Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Lee Sungho
Published: November 2023

Scholars have read Charles Brockden Brown’s Wieland in the context of early American republicanism, viewing the fall of the younger Wielands’ enlightened utopia as a sobering reflection on the nascent republic, as the family tragedy sheds light on the flipside of the early American Enlightenment. The bankruptcy of the Wielands’ enlightenment idealism, however, also reveals that they remain tragically bound to the gothic legacy of the first Protestant father.
Wieland dramatizes how Clara’s enlightenment ends up being eclipsed by the return of the father’s sins, as she unwittingly inherits his radical individualism. This paper examines how the frontier immigrant father’s millennialistic fanaticism returns, leading Clara to gravitate toward an occult belief and a fatalist outlook. Indeed, Clara’s attempts to counter the oppressive paternal curse with her faith in benevolent Providence flounder, emblematically demonstrating the inherent limitations of her radical individualism. Clara’s descent is punctuated by her symbolic dread of her brother Theodore, the heir to the persistent curse of their patriarchal heritage. At the same time, her fear is mediated by a mystical voice that Carwin fabricates to embody divine authority. Clara’s near-blind obedience to what she imagines to be an occult agent is reminiscent of the elder Wieland’s apocalyptic fervor. As Clara’s moral fortitude succumbs to epistemological uncertainty and despair, the haunting shadows of her paternal lineage disrupt her rational inquiry and optimistic worldview, casting a pall over her struggle for enlightenment and self-realization.
Imitation, Invention, Dramatization: The Petrarchan Tradition and Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella
Authors:   Institute of British & American Studies Center for International Area Studies Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Jang Sunghyun
Published: November 2023

Philip Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella (1591) represents an important watershed in the history of the English sonnet. In a situation where the conventions of the Petrarchan sonnet had long dominated the English literary scene, Sidney’s attempt to claim originality in his sonnet sequence was faced with a challenging task. He couldn’t help imitating the Petrarchan model to a considerable extent; sonnet writing breaking with the Petrarchan tradition was as yet unimaginable. Hence, his fervent desire for originality often places him in a dilemma. There is a constant tug-of-war between imitation and invention in Astrophil and Stella. However, his work at last turns out to be inventive rather than imitative. What seems instrumental in achieving its originality is dramatization—especially, fashioning the lovers as forceful dramatic characters. They are by no means typical of Petrarchan lovers. In contrast to the woman who remains mostly unresponsive to the male speaker’s courtship in the Petrarchan love sonnet, Stella surprisingly confesses her love for Astrophil in the Eighth Song, which constructs a narrative out of quotations of dialogue between the lovers. As for Astrophil, his failure to renounce carnal desire for Stella—which, being dramatized, calls for “some food”—presents him as a physical presence. In addition, the allegory of Astrophil’s relationship to Cupid (who represents erotic passion) dramatizes his rejection of Platonic love, which embraces an ascetic ideal. Consequently, dramatization serves a crucial role in subverting the ideals of Petrarchan love. To conclude, Sidney’s work paved the way for the English sonnet to evolve uniquely, in a way that makes it independent of the influence of Petrarchanism.
Translation of the Hybrid Narrative Style of A Journal of the Plague Year (1722): With a Focus on the Humanitarian Narrative Features
Authors:   Institute of British & American Studies Center for International Area Studies Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Seo Jung Eun
Published: November 2023

Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year has long been recognized as a hybrid narrative that intertwines history and fiction, merging empirical evidence with evaluative interpretations. This paper posits that the hybrid narrative style utilized in the text serves the author's intention to achieve specific humanitarian narrative objectives: employing empirical evidence to enlighten readers and guide them towards interventionist actions. Furthermore, this study conducts an analysis of the stylistic elements within the work that embody this narrative orientation. Emphasis is placed on the author's deliberate choices in vocabulary, the use of pronouns, and shifts in tense. I argue that these stylistic components play important roles in bringing the central theme of the text to life and, therefore, warrant careful consideration in translation into Korean. Lastly, this research examines three published Korean translations of A Journal of the Plague Year to evaluate how effectively they capture these stylistic features in the source language and convey them in the target language.

Published: November 2023

The aim of the study is to describe the criminological framework of crime forecasting based on special literature, prac-tice materials and research. Analytical, synthesis, inductive, deductive and descriptive research methods are used inthe article. The authors conclude that the development of full, comprehensive and highly reliable crime forecasts is alaborious and complex process. Predictive measures should be designed in a more urgent manner – this might en-compass the reporting of anticipated crimes in advance, as well as the indication of changes in the overall structure ofcrime and dangerous trends of a specific type of crime. Consequently, there must be a warning effect in order to preventpossible adverse trends.
Basic Principles of European Social Security Coordination based on Regulation (EC) 883/2004
Authors:   Zittau/Görlitz University AS & Dresden International University, Germany, Hahn Erik
Published: November 2023

This article discusses the importance of free movement and the coordinating social law of the European Union (EU) inensuring that people who move between EU Member States are not left without social security coverage. The articleexplains that the EU does not have a uniform or common social law and that the responsibility for social policy primar-ily lies with the Member States. The coordinating social law of the EU is limited to the coordination of the various socialsecurity systems of the Member States. The article further explains that the coordination of social security systems isessential for the success of European integration and emphasises that the EU Member States are bound by both thebasic Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 and the implementing Regulation (EC) No 987/2009. After a primary law derivationof the social law coordination, the article explains the scope of application and the key principles of Regulation (EC)883/2004. This is followed by a discussion of the Regulation’s conflict-of-law rules, which take precedence over nationalprovisions.
Role of medical practitioners in prevention and investigation of violence against children, and need to strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation in Latvia
Authors:   Rīga Stradiņš University, Latvia, Bērziņa Ilze
Published: November 2023

The role of medical practitioners in preventing violence is evident; however, it is not as simple as it looks, as medicsconsider medical assistance and treatment as their primary work mission. At the same time, as any other citizen, theyare obliged to report violence, thereby helping to prevent it. The methodology employed in this study encompasseda review of legal frameworks and literature, open interviews with medical practitioners, and a meticulous analysis ofinternal documents and data systems. By synthesizing these methods, the research gained valuable insights into thechallenges faced by medical professionals in preventing violence and identified opportunities for enhancing coopera-tion within the healthcare system. This comprehensive approach facilitated a nuanced exploration of the integrationof legislative aspects into the daily routines of medical practitioners to advance the implementation of the Barnahusmodel in Latvia. The article gives insights into key existing documents and provides a detailed study of the availableinternal documents, data systems (patients’ electronic cards) and guidelines (recognition, recording and reporting ofviolence), with a view to understanding the importance of internal processes in order to identify and retain evidence.As regards the integration of legislative aspects into their daily routine, institutions need an effective internal processand guidelines which make it easy to record the fact of violence and evidence during the daily routine of professionals.Emphasis is also placed on increasing the cooperation and prevention role of medical practitioners, so that Latvia cansuccessfully implement the Barnahus model.
The Legal Nature of Patient Duties
Authors:   Rezekne Academy of Technologies, Rēzekne, Latvia, Mazure Līga
Published: November 2023

The role of patient duties depends on the model of the medical treatment relationship in which the patient is involved.Traditionally, there have been two models of the medical treatment relationship, variations of which have formed withsmall differences in the principles but the same core understanding. However, the tendency to search for a new modelof the medical treatment relationship is observed where actualisation of patient duties also has importance in themodern day. There are arguments and discussions about the legal effect of patient duties where completely oppositeopinions are expressed. The answer probably lies in the basic principles of modern civil rights, which mark the legalnature of patient duties in the legal relationship in medical treatment. Patient non-adherence or only partial adherenceto their duties brings about negative legal consequences, which have specific features that are different from the gen-eral civil rights principles. The research aim is to analyse the legal nature of patient duties by evaluating their role andlegal effect in the medical treatment relationship and specifying the directions of the legal consequences of inadequateadherence to these duties.

Authors:   Latvian Academy of Culture, Rīga, Latvia, Mihailovs Ivans Jānis
Published: November 2023

This article explains the role of intercultural competence in the training and daily professional lives of police officers,and proposes ways to improve the acquisition of this competence. The goal is to describe intercultural competence,highlighting its importance and the possibilities for its acquisition in the training and professional everyday lives ofpolice officers. The article uses general scientific methods – analysis of scientific literature and documents, as well asthe induction–deduction method, drawing conclusions and making proposals, and (grammatical, historical, systemic,teleological) methods of interpretation of legal regulations, analysing applicable legislation and policy planning docu-ments. The study concludes that the daily work of the police in today’s environment requires good management andcultural awareness in dealing with residents, with the consequent development of intercultural competence amongpolice officers as a prerequisite for successful performance and cooperation with different communities in a multicul-tural society. The acquisition and development of intercultural competence should be included in police training pro-grammes, complementing professional standards as appropriate, and in professional development activities for policeofficers. At the same time, the structural changes in the State Police should be addressed, with responsible officersbeing identified to deal with culturally diverse populations, and professional models for police dealing with culturallydiverse populations should be developed.
Initiation of Palliative Care Referral from the Intensive Care Unit for Advanced Stage Metastatic Cancer Patients: A Quality Improvement Process from a Tertiary Referral Cancer Institute from South India
Authors: Balakrishna Kalpana , Ramasamy Thendral , Venketeswaran Meenakshi V.
Published: November 2023

Objectives:

Critically ill cancer patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) did not have any palliative care (PC) intervention as there was no PC referral from the ICU. The project aimed to initiate PC referral for at least 50% of progressive palliative intent cancer patients in intensive care to enhance communication with patients and caregivers. We included PC physicians, oncologists, and psychologists in the team for this project.

Material and Methods:

We used the A3 problem-solving method of quality improvement (QI) and also used the Plan Do Check Act process. The first baseline assessment over 6 months of ICU deaths of patients who could have benefited from PC referral was collected; this made us realise that PC could have been initiated for some patients. Process maps of patient admission into the ICU and the process of their discharge were constructed. Analysis of root causes that were barriers to referral was examined. We made a PC trigger tool after team consultations and consensus and started using it to initiate PC referrals. PC discharge protocol was also initiated. Educational discussions were held with residents and nurses to ensure the continued use of the trigger tool.

Results:

PC referral from intensive care slowly went up from 0% to beyond 50% by November 2019 and reached over 70% by March 2020; patients getting discharged had details of PC centres near their homes.

Conclusion:

Structured QI process and introducing the PC trigger tool led to the outcome of 50% PC referral for critically ill patients in ICU.
Precursor molecules for cobalt(II) single molecule magnets – Synthesis and magnetic properties
Authors: Hunger David , Suhr Simon , Bayer Valentin , Albold Uta , Sarkar Biprajit , van Slageren Joris
Published: November 2023

Molecular magnetic materials based on 1,2-diamidobenzenes are well known and have been intensively studied both experimentally and computationally. They feature interesting magnetic properties as well as redox activity. In this work, we present the synthesis and investigation of potent synthons for constructing discrete metal-organic architectures featuring 1,2-diamidobenzene-coordinated metal centers. The synthons feature weakly bound dimethoxyethane (DME) ligands in addition to the 1,2-diamidobenzene. We characterize these complexes and investigate their magnetic properties by means of static and dynamic magnetometry and high-field electron paramagnetic resonance (HFEPR). Interestingly, the magnetic and magnetic resonance data strongly suggest a dimeric formulation of these complexes, viz. [M(II)(bmsab)DME]2 (bmsab = 1,2-bis(methanesulfonamido)benzene) with M = Co, Ni, Zn. This formulation is supported by ab initio calculations. A large negative D-value of −60 cm-1 was found for the Co(II) synthon and an equally large negative D of -50 cm-1 for the Ni(II) synthon. For Co(II), this D-value is in line to what was found for the known bis-diamidobenzene complexes of this ion. In contrast, the negative D-value for the nickel(II) complex is inexpected, which we explain in terms of increased effective coordination numbers. In contrast to the homoleptic Co(II) 1,2-diamidobenzene complex, the heteroleptic Co(II) complex presented here does not feature slow relaxation of the magnetization.
Conducting Polymers in Biosensing: a review
Authors: Bhattacharyya Arnab
Published: November 2023

Medical diagnostics and, to a lesser extent, pharmacy are two of the most prominent applications of organic conducting polymers (CPs). Polymers that conduct electricity, such as polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPY), polythiophene (PTh), and poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene), PEDOT, are frequently employed in sensor and biosensor design. Some unique CPs are used in the design of electrochemical biosensors, such as polypyrrole-based functional layers. Biosensors based on conducting polymer composites with other materials are also under investigation. The purpose of this communication is to discuss the manufacturing and applications of these CPs in medical diagnosis and associated applications.
Compounds from Morchella esculenta as Potential Inhibitors of RNA-Binding Protein La in Ovarian Cancer: A Molecular Modeling and Quantum Mechanics Approach
Authors: Dairo Gbenga , Ward Matthew , Soendergaard Mette , Determan John
Published: November 2023

Ovarian cancer (OC) is implicated in most gynecological cancer-related deaths. Currently, the primary treatments for OC are surgery and chemotherapy using platinum-based drugs to induce remission. However, OC recurs in 70-80% of patients within two years, which usually results in the death of most OC patients. La protein is significantly expressed in various malignant tumors, including OC. Previous studies reported that OC patients have significantly higher levels of La protein expression in their serum than healthy individuals, which is related to the poor response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Inhibiting La protein could control the expression of the potential downstream genes involved in promoting proliferation and chemotherapy resistance to OC, which could serve as a therapeutic intervention in treating OC. Extract from Morchella esculenta (morel mushroom) has been reported to contain anti-cancer properties, but no study has reported the interaction of its bioactive compounds with La protein in OC. This study examines the interaction of La protein with some bioactive compounds of Morchella esculenta, as well as their pharmacokinetics and thermochemical properties using structural bioinformatics and advanced theoretical chemistry techniques. Molecular modeling techniques incorporating molecular docking, free energy calculation, MD simulation, drug-likeness, and quantum chemical calculations, including the global hybrid and long-range corrected density functional theory approximations, were employed in this study. Thus, the results identify hits compounds from morchella esculanta, which could serve as a starting for the development of novel LA protein inhibitors for OC therapeutics.
A sulfonated covalent organic framework for atmospheric water harvesting
Authors: Schweng Paul , Li Changxia , Guggenberger Patrick , Kleitz Freddy , Woodward Robert
Published: November 2023

We report a sulfonated covalent organic framework (COF) capable of atmospheric water harvesting in arid conditions. The isothermal water uptake profile of the framework was studied, and the network displayed steep water sorption at low relative humidity (RH) in temperatures of up to 45 °C, reaching a water uptake of 0.12 g·g−1 at 10% RH and even 0.08 g·g−1 at just 5% RH, representing some of the most extreme conditions on the planet. We found that the inclusion of sulfonate moieties shifted uptake in the water isotherm profiles to lower RH compared to non-sulfonated equivalents, demonstrating well the benefits of including these hydrophilic sites for water uptake in hot arid locations. Repeated uptake and desorption were performed on the network without significant detriment to its adsorption performance, demonstrating the potential of the sulfonated COF for real-world implementation.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of recalcitrant, highly toxic contaminants, with limited remediation options. Phytoremediation – removal of contaminants using plants – is an inexpensive, community-friendly strategy for reducing PFAS concentrations and exposures. This project is a collaboration between the Mi'kmaq Nation, Upland Grassroots, and researchers at several institutions who conducted phytoremediation field trials using hemp to remove PFAS from soil at the former Loring Air Force base, which has now been returned to the Mi’kmaq Nation. PFAS were analyzed in paired hemp and soil samples using targeted and non-targeted analytical approaches. Additionally, we used hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) to degrade PFAS in the harvested hemp tissue. We identified 28 PFAS in soil and found hemp uptake of 10 of these PFAS. Consistent with previous studies, hemp exhibited greater bioconcentration for carboxylic acids compared to sulfonic acids, and for shorter-chain compounds compared to longer-chain. In total, approximately 1.4 mg of PFAS was removed from the soil via uptake into hemp stems and leaves, with an approximate maximum of 2% PFAS removed from soil in the most successful area. Degradation of PFAS by HTL was nearly 100% for carboxylic acids, but a portion of sulfonic acids remained. HTL also decreased precursor PFAS and extractable organic fluorine. In conclusion, while hemp phytoremediation does not currently offer a comprehensive solution for PFAS-contaminated soil, this project has effectively reduced PFAS levels at the Loring site and underscores the importance of involving community members in research aimed at remediating their lands.

All-solid-state batteries using Si as the anode have shown promising performance without continual solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) growth. However, the low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of Si limits their energy density. In this work, a prelithiation strategy was adopted to improve the ICE and conductivity of Si all-solid-state cells. Lithiated Si anodes were examined in symmetric-, half-, and full-cell configurations to understand the cell-level improvement. A full cell comprising a Li1Si anode achieved over 95% of ICE when paired with a lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) cathode. Additionally, a comparison of cells containing either a lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NCM) or LCO cathode paired with either Si or LixSi at the anode revealed performance improvements with Si prelithiation only in anode-limited cases. Rate and long-term cycling capabilities were evaluated for Si- and Li1Si-containing cells, showing higher discharge capacities at all rates for Li1Si than Si. With Li1Si, 73.8% capacity retention was achieved after 1000 cycles, a 15% improvement when compared to a pure Si anode. With Li1Si, a high areal capacity of up to 10 mAh cm-2 was attained using a dry-processed LCO cathode film, suggesting that the prelithiation method may be suitable for high loading next-generation all-solid-state batteries.

IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION OF A TRAINEE TEACHER: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Pham Anh Hong
Published: November 2023

Teacher training involves a wide range of missions, especially at the stage of transitioning a trainee teacher into a teacher. While much attention has been paid to what is required of by the trainee teacher to be qualified as a teacher, not much has been paid to looking at the trainee teacher himself or herself in terms of what he or she thinks and does in the real classroom to empower himself or herself to be a teacher in particular discourses across the classroom landscape. Drawing on the sociocultural view of identity, this paper presents, but not limits, the concept of teacher identity as an ongoing process constructed, negotiated, and maintained primarily through discourse. The theoretical concept is then exemplified with a case study of a trainee teacher of English. Preliminary data from interviews and classroom observations provide insights into the teacher’s perceptions and practices towards what she meant to be recognised as a teacher. The paper calls for more attention to be given to viewing identity construction in relation to classroom discourse on the part of not only teacher educators but also trainee teachers themselves to facilitate the process of teacher training.
ESP Teachers’ Practice of Developing Curriculum at some Universities in Ho Chi Minh City
Authors: Huynh Thi Hoa Sen
Published: November 2023

ESP curriculum development is of great significance in terms of developing a curriculum that meets the specific needs of a learner group as well as enhances relevance and students’ interest and motivation. Teacher involvement in this process is essential in that not many materials are available for leaners with specific needs and an ESP teacher is not only a teacher but also a collaborator, a course designer and material provider, a researcher, and an evaluator (Dudley-Evans & St. John, 1998). The study thus aims to investigate ESP teachers’ practice in the curriculum development process. Seventy eight teachers at four tertiary institutions in Ho Chi Minh City were asked about their involvement in the process of developing the ESP curriculum for non-English majors at their universities through a questionnaire and interviews. The data were then analyzed to show in which steps and how the teachers are involved in the ESP curriculum development process; the findings were discussed and some suggestions given to inform the ESP curriculum development process.

Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh (TPHCM) là thành phố lớn nhất của Việt Nam với tiềm năng, thế mạnh về phát triển công nghiệp, xây dựng và dịch vụ; tỷ trọng của các ngành này chiếm hơn 99 % trong cơ cấu GDP của Thành phố. Tuy nhiên, Thành phố còn có vùng nông thôn rộng lớn với 5 huyện ngoại thành nên trong những năm qua, chính quyền Thành phố cũng đã và đang tập trung sự chú ý, đầu tư mạnh mẽ để xây dựng và phát triển nông nghiệp theo hướng nông nghiệp đô thị, nông nghiệp công nghệ cao, nhằm rút ngắn khoảng cách phát triển giữa nội thành và ngoại thành. Trong bài viết này, tác giả phân tích khái quát tình hình kinh tế nông nghiệp của TPHCM qua 30 năm đổi mới (1986 - 2015); chỉ ra những thành tựu, hạn chế và đề xuất một số giải pháp nhằm góp phần thúc đẩy sự phát triển nông nghiệp của Thành phố trong thời gian tới.

Bài viết phân tích làm rõ thẩm quyền giải quyết việc xác định quan hệ cha, mẹ, con trong trường hợp không có tranh chấp trên cơ sở mối liên hệ thống nhất giữa ba văn bản luật có liên quan bao gồm Luật Hôn nhân và gia đình năm 2014 với tư cách là luật nội dung, Bộ luật Tố tụng dân sự năm 2015 quy định về thủ tục tố tụng tại Tòa án nhân dân và Luật Hộ tịch năm 2014 quy định về thủ tục hành chính. Trên cơ sở phân tích quy định của pháp luật hiện hành và đối sánh với thực tiễn áp dụng pháp luật về cơ quan có thẩm quyền xác định quan hệ cha, mẹ, con trong trường hợp không có tranh chấp hiện nay cho thấy có nhiều lúng túng vướng mắc, tác giả đề xuất cách hiểu thống nhất quy định pháp luật hiện hành trong trường hợp này, nhằm góp phần nâng cao thực tiễn áp dụng pháp luật.

Chủ tịch Hồ Chí Minh đã hiến dâng trọn đời cho sự nghiệp giải phóng dân tộc, giải phóng xã hội, giải phóng con người. Trong di sản tư tưởng mà Người để lại cho Ðảng và dân tộc, chính sách chăm sóc sức khỏe nhân dân có ý nghĩa to lớn đối với cách mạng Việt Nam. Bài viết tập trung làm rõ những quan điểm của Hồ Chí Minh về mục đích, nội dung và biện phương thực hiện chính sách chăm sóc sức khỏe nhân dân, khẳng định bản chất tốt đẹp và ưu việt của xã hội mới. Tư tưởng đó tiếp tục là cơ sở, nền tảng tư tưởng và kim chỉ nam cho Đảng và Nhà nước hoạch định đường lối và tổ chức triển khai chính sách chăm sóc, bảo vệ sức khỏe cho nhân dân trong giai đoạn hiện nay.

Nghiên cứu này phân tích mức độ thích hợp (appropriateness) của các cụm từ kết hợp động từ-danh từ trong bài luận của sinh viên ngành Ngôn ngữ Anh tại Đại học Ngoại Ngữ - Đại học Huế (Việt Nam) so với các bài luận của sinh viên bản ngữ và giải thích kết quả thu được. Đầu tiên, các cụm từ kết hợp động từ-danh từ sẽ được trích từ các bài luận của sinh viên bản ngữ và sinh viên Việt Nam. Dựa vào tần suất (frequency) và chỉ số tương hỗ (mutual information) trích xuất từ Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), chúng tôi xác định mức độ thích hợp của các cụm từ kết hợp động từ-danh từ dựa theo 2 tiêu chí tần suất (freq) >=6, và chỉ số tương hỗ (MI) >=3 (Siyanova & Schmitt, 2008). Số liệu định lượng cho thấy sinh viên Việt Nam sử dụng cụm từ kết hợp động từ-danh từ thích hợp có vượt trội hơn sinh viên bản ngữ. Tuy nhiên, số liệu định tính từ phỏng vấn đã giúp giải thích được việc sinh viên ngành Ngôn Ngữ Anh sử dụng được các cụm từ kết hợp tốt như vậy là vì các em tham khảo các bài viết liên quan của các tác giả khác trên Internet chứ các em còn hạn chế trong việc tự sử dụng cụm từ kết hợp để diễn tả ý tưởng của riêng mình.

A STUDY ON INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES TO FOSTER TEACHER – STUDENT INTERACTION IN EFL TERTIARY READING COMPREHENSION CLASSES
Authors: Nguyễn Thị Lệ Hằng
Published: November 2023

This qualitative case study presents how teacher - student interaction in EFL tertiary reading comprehension classes can be fostered with interactive activities (IAs). The purpose was to explore how IAs were deployed to improve the EFL tertiary students’ reading comprehension skill; in other words, the study aimed at finding out the teacher talk as interactive activities in teaching reading comprehension (RC). A female teacher majoring in RC was the participant of this study. Data were collected through classroom observation with her teaching reading comprehension process. In addition, supporting data were also added from audio-visual materials were used in observing process. The data were deeply analyzed on the basis of the Foreign Language Interaction Analysis (FLINT) model in Brown (2001). Findings showed that all of 11 categories of teacher talk in FLINT appeared in the study. They were (1) dealing with feeling, (2) praising and encouraging, (3) joking, (4) using ideas of students, (5) repeating students verbatim, (6) asking questions, (7) giving information, (8) correcting without rejection, (9) giving directions, (10) criticizing student behavior, and  (11) criticizing student response with different frequency. Among with “praising and encouraging” was mostly used activity and “criticizing students’ response” was the least commonly used one. Furthermore, the study highlighted the potential value of considering teacher talk as interactive activities since it was found meaningful to initiate the teacher – student interaction in RC class, and to foster students’ RC skill.
ENGLISH-MAJORED STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS AND CHALLENGES OF CONDUCTING RESEARCH AT UNDERGRADUATE LEVEL
Authors: Viên Trương
Published: November 2023

This study aims to investigate the perceptions of English-majored students engaging in undergraduate research at the University of Foreign Languages, Hue University. It also explores the challenges that these students face in conducting research at the undergraduate level. A questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data for the study from 136 students specializing in English language studies and English language teaching at the Faculty of English. The results show that these students are aware of the importance of researching their professional training and development; therefore, they seem to adopt a relatively positive attitude towards conducting research. However, the findings suggest that despite receiving considerable support from the institution throughout the research process, the reality of conducting undergraduate research does pose some considerable challenges for these students.
IMPACTS OF MASS MEDIA ON THE LGBT COMMUNITY IN HO CHI MINH CITY NOWADAYS
Authors: Le Thanh Ngan
Published: November 2023

The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community (LGBT) is growing bigger and bigger in Vietnam, especially in Ho Chi Minh City where 66% of members of this community are living. Although the LGBT community has been under severe stigmatization of society due to the biases related to sexual tendency and gender identity, it is becoming more familiar and popular with more people thanks to mass media. Therefore, the mass media plays a significant role in making the public understand this community properly and sufficiently. In addition to positive impacts, mass media also has some negative effects which mislead the perception of information takers. This paper uses qualitative data to analyze the positive as well as negative impacts of mass media on the images of LGBT people and the human rights that they deserve.

Betrayed Expectations
Authors: Emerick Barrett , Yap Audrey
Published: November 2023

This paper explores a phenomenon that we will call “justified-but-misdirected anger”, in which one’s anger is grounded in or born from a genuine wrong or injustice, but is directed towards an inappropriate target. In particular, we argue that oppressive ideologies that maintain systems of gender, race, and class encourage such misdirection and are thereby self-perpetuating. We engage with two particular examples of such misdirection. The first includes poor white voters who embrace racist and xenophobic politics; they are justified in being angry about their own economic exploitation, but that anger is misdirected in a way that maintains capitalism (which is the appropriate target of their anger). The second includes so-called “incels” who embrace misogyny; they are justified in being angry about unrealistic and unhealthy standards of contemporary masculinity, but that anger is misdirected in a way that maintains patriarchy. One goal of exploring this type of justified-but-misdirected anger is to contribute to an anti-carceral feminism that helps to thread the needle between holding wrongdoers to account while also clearly identifying the oppressive ideologies that influence their actions.
