Translating Al-Mutanabbi's Wisdom Poetry into English: A Localization Product
Authors: Fairooz Rashad Ahmed
Published: July 2024

This study aimed to translate Al-Mutanabbi's wisdom poetry into English locale poetry. To achieve the objective of the study, two main procedures were performed by the researcher. First, 70 verses, including 87 wisdoms, said by Al-Mutanabbi, were identified from Al-Mutanabbi's Diwan (introduced by Al-Aqbawi, 2007), forming the Arabic corpus of the study. Then, the corpus was introduced to seven experts in the Arabic poetry at Ibb and Taiz universities, Yemen, to ensure the availability of wisdom(s) and their number, themes, and commonness among Arabs. Second, the whole Arabic corpus was translated into English locale poetry by the researcher, producing equivalent English poetry, forming the English corpus of the study. Then, both Arabic and English corpora were introduced to six experts in the English poetry at Ibb and Taiz universities, Yemen, to ensure conveying the intended meaning of all Arabic wisdom verses into English equivalently, and check their localization into English locale verses. Finally, the study introduced a number of conclusions and implications for translators.
Saudi Interpreters’ Adaptive Cognitive Strategic Behaviors in Consecutive Interpretation
Authors: S. Aluthman Ebtisam , Al-Buraidi Haifa M.
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the adaptive cognitive strategies used by Saudi interpreters in consecutive interpretation (CI) guided by Gile’s (2009) Effort Models. Using a structured questionnaire, insights were gathered from 102 Saudi interpreters, divided into undergraduate students and professional interpreters with varying levels of experience. The research focuses on how interpreters manage the selection of interpretation strategies across four phases of CI: listening, note-taking, note-decoding, and reformulating. Notable findings include the contrast between experienced professionals, who seldom rely on common sense, omitting, or paraphrasing, and trainees, who employ these strategies more frequently in response to unfamiliar topics. Professionals, regardless of experience, effectively use paraphrasing when faced with numerical complexities. When dealing with fast-speaking speakers, experienced professionals avoid omitting content, while trainees rely on this strategy. In conclusion, to manage concentration during long speeches, trainees prioritize attention to the source speech and use selective omission, while experienced professionals gravitate toward generalizing and summarizing approaches. This research highlights the influence of experience on strategy choice, aligning with Jääskeläinen’s (1996) claim that experienced translators allocate more cognitive resources to production strategies than novices. A key recommendation of this study is the need for specialized training for novice interpreters, particularly in strategy development, to handle various CI process challenges. Training focused on enhancing note-taking skills is vital, especially for trainees, as clear and understandable notes are crucial for success in the note-decoding and reformulating stages of CI.
The Closing of Illegal Interventions: A Conversation Analysis Study
Authors: Alqatawna Mohammad Ibrahim
Published: July 2024

The objective of this paper is to examine the termination of illegal interventions using conversation analysis (CA henceforth). The findings indicate that the closure of interactions occurs unilaterally without negotiation by the participants, leading to an absence of interaction termination. The chairperson of the parliament consistently initiates the closure by utilizing various elements within the closing implicative environment, such as announcing the closure, expressing appreciation, issuing demands to comply with internal regulations of the parliament, and warning of potential suspension of parliamentary sessions. The participation framework plays a significant role in the process of closing illegal interventions. The rights and roles of participants differ significantly from ordinary conversations. This discrepancy has a notable impact on the manner in which closings are conducted, particularly when the CP is involved. As a result, the closing of interactions in this study is characterized as unilateral and brief due to the influence of the participation framework.

Authors: Nguyen Phu Tien , Ho Han Van
Published: July 2024

In the context of international economic integration, Business English (BE) has played an increasingly significant role in business settings because BE is considered as a global communicative means, helping business transactions happen effectively among economies all over the world. In Vietnam, BE has been used more and more in trade transactions because Vietnam’s economy has explosively developed and Vietnam has expanded its international trade relations over the last ten years. The aim of the paper is to analyze and synthesize the needs analysis for EFL learners majoring in Business English globally. The results of the paper help higher education in Vietnam see the importance of needs analysis in ESP, needs analysis approaches, theoretical frameworks including target situation analysis (TSA), present situation analysis (PSA), learning situation analysis (LSA), then evaluate existing materials or coursebooks and adapt to create better universities’ curricula to meet the linguistic requirements in the workplaces in Vietnam.
Enhancing Pre-Service Teacher Education Curriculum for English Language Instruction in South African Classrooms: Navigating Technological Advancements and Cultural Diversity
Authors: Ajani Oluwatoyin Ayodele
Published: July 2024

The educational environment in South Africa is characterised by linguistic diversity and technological advancements, which present particular difficulties and opportunities for pre-service teacher education programmes. This systematic literature review explores the effectiveness of current pre-service teacher training programmes in addressing the demands of teaching the English language in South African classrooms. Drawing upon a synthesis of empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, and policy documents, this review critically examines how existing teacher education curricula prepare educators to navigate the complexities of English language instruction within diverse cultural and linguistic contexts. The review follows the PRISMA guidelines, systematically searching and synthesising relevant literature published between 2000 and 2022. The findings reveal a range of insights into the strengths and limitations of current pre-service teacher education programmes in South Africa concerning English language instruction. Key themes emerge around the integration of technology in language teaching, strategies for addressing linguistic diversity, and the alignment of curriculum with the needs of diverse learners. The review highlights the importance of incorporating pedagogical approaches that leverage technology to enhance English language learning outcomes while fostering intercultural competence among pre-service teachers. Furthermore, it underscores the need for a culturally responsive pedagogy that acknowledges and respects the linguistic diversity present in South African classrooms.
Beyond Stereotypes
Authors: Mao Yiyi , Lee Kyungmee
Published: July 2024

The Chinese government provided a narrow window for Chinese students during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, enabling them to remain in China and enrol in online courses provided by foreign universities. This was not authorised before the pandemic (Ministry of Education [MOE], 2020). As a result, there was limited research focusing on Chinese overseas students’ distance learning experiences before the pandemic (e.g., Kung, 2017). Furthermore, these studies have been criticised for their overuse of monolithic approaches and the underuse of theories, producing stereotypes and misunderstandings about Chinese students (Lee & Bligh, 2019; Xu, 2022). Despite the increasing number of studies on Chinese overseas students conducted during the pandemic, their online learning experiences have been significantly influenced by the unique situation, which may not be applicable in a post-pandemic scenario. Therefore, this qualitative study aims to investigate Chinese overseas students' networked learning experiences in the post-pandemic era. 
Building on the ongoing conceptualising effort (NLEC, 2021a), the authors have used learner-content interaction (Moore, 1989) and Berry’s acculturation theory (Berry, 2005) to explore online international Chinese students’ experiences of interaction with learning contents. The focus is on developing a holistic and balanced perspective of these students. Twelve students, enrolled in online graduate degree programmes offered by Western universities while residing in China, were recruited and interviewed. The results of the authors’ thematic analysis of the interview transcripts suggest that online Chinese international students are active agents in their interaction with the learning content and their adaptation to the new settings, in which they bridge a strong connection between Chinese and Western learning content to enrich their understanding of knowledge and promote cultural diversity in both their new environment and their home country. Here, online Chinese international students predominately employ an integration strategy to engage in learning content. Similar to international students from other countries, online Chinese international students encounter challenges due to differences in educational backgrounds, including differences in learning materials and extensive reading requirements. However, online Chinese international students proactively cope with these challenges by integrating knowledge and skills from their home country into their studies, facilitating successful adaptation to the new environment. In addition, the student interaction experience is undermined by a loss of diversity in content provided by Western universities. Therefore, the recommendations are for online educators and universities to take into account the cultural backgrounds of their students and design diverse course content.
Using speculative methods to challenge the invisibility and inevitability of data in education
Authors: Noteboom Joe , Ross Jen
Published: July 2024

Speculation is a resource for critical analysis of data-driven postdigital education. In particular, speculative methods help researchers challenge the invisibility of data-driven educational practices, and thereby unsettle the apparent inevitability of data futures. Working against these tendencies towards invisibility and inevitability requires critical imagination, and speculative methods help foster this for researchers and participants. This paper introduces speculative methods and explores their enactment in a research project that examined the social and ethical implications of datafication in higher education. Speculative methods are characterised by their non-representational, complexity-informed and inventive character and their temporal, epistemological and performative qualities. They have a complex relationship with time and temporality, attending to ‘not-yetness’; are epistemologically complex, producing problems and engaging with ambiguity; and act to create futures or realities they represent, in part through engaging publics at different scales and in different contexts. Methods inspired variously by speculative fiction and speculative design approaches have been used by digital education researchers to investigate and intervene in data futures and to challenge predictive, closed forms of data-driven future-making. The methodological value of speculation is explored here through discussion of a research project that involved ethnographic and speculative engagement with students at a research intensive university in Scotland. The research attempted to understand participants’ experiences of and perspectives on emerging data-driven technologies and practices, and what this meant for their relationship with the university. In this paper we analyse the design of and data generated through two particular speculative methods: data walking, and thinking otherwise. We focus on participants’ reflections on the methods used and show how speculation was central to efforts to prompt ethical reflection on data-driven practices. In the case of data walking, this involved sensitising participants to datafication processes, thereby making hidden practices visible to participants. A simple prompt to think otherwise, meanwhile, generated data regarding participants’ experiences and problems in the present while at the same time opening up possibilities of thinking otherwise about data futures. We close by relating these findings to wider considerations for speculative methods, focusing on the role of speculative objects as both instrument and output of research and exploring the significance of discursive closures in participatory research.
Generative AIs, more-than-human authorship, and Husserl’s phenomenological ‘horizons’
Authors: Gourlay Lesley
Published: July 2024

In recent years, developments in Artificial Intelligence have produced Large Language Models (LLMs) leading to a form of generative AIs (GAIs) trained on vast corpora of texts, capable of producing convincing predictive synthetic texts such as essays, reports, or other texts instantaneously. This development has profound implications for human entanglements with technologies in terms of how these AIs might constitute new forms of subjectivities, texts, and knowledge practices. This development has particular significance for higher education in terms of academic writing, assessment, and research. In terms of higher education, specific concerns have been raised about the implications for assessment, study practices, and the status of knowledge and learning in the context of these ‘writing machines’. Universities and government bodies have reacted in various ways, with some commentators calling for the sector to ‘embrace’ these generative AIs (GAIs) as merely the latest ‘tools’ available for study and research, while others seek to outlaw their use. The current academic research surrounding this phenomenon is underdeveloped with relatively few studies having been conducted, due to the rapid recent acceleration of the technology. It is also under-theorised; early research has reacted to the fast-changing landscape of GAIs by focusing on the technical and practical capacities. Meanwhile, supranational private providers such as OpenAI are influencing higher education internationally, with a complex range of effects which are as-yet unknown. This paper reviews the current state of the art in related bodies of research literature and proposes that the field could benefit from a wider variety of critical and theoretical perspectives. Drawing on the concept of the sociotechnical imaginary from science and technology studies, it considers how discourses and practices surrounding GAIs are evolving in society and education. It then considers the effects of authorship and the writing subject, with reference to the concept of more-than-human authorship. It then draws on recent work in the philosophy of technology, proposing Husserl’s outer and inner ‘horizons’ as a potential framework with which to consider the complex entanglements of human and nonhuman agency, as enrolled in more-than-human authorship and entangled with the presence of GAIs in the ‘lifeworld’ of contemporary higher education. It concludes by proposing future directions for work in this area, in order to gain better theoretical purchase on the phenomenon at the various levels set out above.

Hemorrhagic stroke ranks second in frequency among fatal strokes. Often intracerebral hemorrhage is localized in the basal ganglia of the brain and the use of open surgical approaches is fraught with the development of various severe complications. This implies the need to use minimally invasive methods of surgical treatment of deep intracerebral hemorrhages. One of these methods is stereotaxic needle biopsy. The authors present a clinical case of hemorrhagic stroke in a patient who received a minimally invasive stereotaxic treatment. The results of treatment and its effectiveness are reflected. Recommendations are given on the methodology of the possibility of its application in clinics of medical organizations of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Over the past decade, the importance of treating spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been growing. In this study, we have presented the results of the use of video-thoracoscopy based on our treatment experience. The рurpose of this study: to analyze the results of thoracoscopic treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax. Material and methods: from January 1, 2018 to April 5, 2023, a retrospective clinical and statistical analysis of n=46 patients who underwent VATS surgery was carried out in the Department of Thoracic and Pediatric Surgery of the A.N. Syzganov National Scientific Center of Surgery in Almaty. Results. In this study, cases of SP were more common at the age of 18-25 years – 28.26%, 26-35 – 28.26%, of which the proportion of men prevailed - 39.12%. A history of smoking was found in 54.39%, the presence of chest injuries – in 13.04%. In patients with n=44 (95.65%), VATS were successfully performed, with SP occurring more often in the upper right lung (n=20/43,47%) and left lung (n=20/43,47%). Only in n=2 patients (4.34%) after VATS surgery a year later, a recurrence of SP was noted. Conclusions. The video-assisted thoracoscopic method is the method of the final effective treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax. The positive results obtained in the study make it possible to increase the frequency of using VATS in clinical practice. However, indications for the use of videothoracoscopy should be determined taking into account the area of local changes in the lungs, the nature and characteristics of concomitant diseases.

The pandemic of the COVID-19 coronavirus infection, which is caused by a new strain of coronavirus – SARS-CoV-2, has caused a rapid increase in the number of cases and high mortality worldwide. Comorbid patients are the most vulnerable group with a particularly high risk of adverse outcomes. The widespread introduction of vaccination helps to reduce the severity of the course and complications of a new coronavirus infection. The purpose of this research is to conduct a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of vaccines against COVID-19 in patients hospitalized with a comorbid background and a severe course of the disease. Methods. Analysis and analysis of previously published studies by foreign and domestic authors, statistical analysis of medical records of 212 patients undergoing inpatient treatment with SARI. Results. In the course of the conducted analysis in the group of vaccinated patients, despite the fact that initially all were comparable with each other in terms of the severity of lung tissue damage, as well as the presence of concomitant pathology, the severe course of the disease and deaths amounted to 7%. They were discharged for further observation at the outpatient stage with an improvement of 93% of patients. Whereas in unvaccinated patients the mortality rate was 16.1%, 83.9% of patients were discharged with improvement. The duration of hospitalization in vaccinated patients was much shorter, averaging 7 days, whereas in non-vaccinated patients hospitalization lasted 12 days. Conclusions. According to the conducted research, the Russian Sputnik-V showed a statistical advantage. A negative trend of severe disease course was revealed among unvaccinated patients with a comorbid background.The results obtained allow us to assess the high importance of vaccination to reduce the lethal outcomes of COVID-19.

It is an infrequent congenital pathology in pediatrics when children are born with an open malformation. Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital pathology manifests itself as isolated defect or as part of several defects as a complex. We present a clinical case of nine-month-old baby girl suffered from absence of anterior abdominal wall and anterior bladder wall, divergence of bones pelvic articulation and absence of anus. The congenital defect was detected intrauterine by ultrasound at the third screening. After birth, an operation with a colostomy was performed. Due to the severe diagnosis, a decision was made to hospitalize her at our medical facility for further examination and treatment.

Blastocystis hominis is currently one of the most common parasites found in human feces - up to 10% of the population in the developed countries and approximately 50-60% of cases are found particularly in the developing countries. Nevertheless blastocystosis is one of the least studied infectious diseases among intestinal protozoans in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The aim of this study was to assess morbidity of blastocystosis, to determine its clinical picture, its role in the immune system and in the intestinal microflora. Methods. This study involved a total of 8002 patients who applied to the Parasitology Clinic of the Research Institute of Medical Prevention named after V.Yu. Akhundova in Baku, Azerbaijan. As part of the study, the feces of the participants were examined microscopically, using ELISA and PCR methods. Results. This study has presented that course of infection is mostly asymptomatic, although patients could experience abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, foul-smelling stool, skin rashes, allergy symptoms, hypersalivation and unpleasant breath. The increase of IL8 was detected among most patients which has indicated negative effect on the immune system, moreover it has caused quantitative and qualitative changes in the normal microflora of the intestines. Conclusions. Based on the results we came to conclusion that blastocystosis has been very widespread among population of Republic of Azerbaijan and it is still vital to continue in-depth study.
