The policy of the Bulgarian Exarchate of the period 1877-1915 in the context of Bulgarian national security
Authors: Kryklyvyi Vadym
Published: August 2022

Historical and situation analysis of the processes of interaction between church and state in different historical conditions is one of the key methods of research church-state relations and interaction between the political and religious spheres. Historical examples can be used to deduce the regularities of the processes of politicization of the church, its formation as a subject of politics and participation in political processes: the creation of the state and the formation of the national security of the state, the formation of national identity, etc.

The purpose of the article is to review and analyze the policy of the Bulgarian Exarchate during the period of Joseph I, aimed to formation of the national security of the Bulgarian principality during the becoming of national states in the Balkans under the constant threat of loss of statehood. Features of the relationship of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church with the state and national liberation movements, diplomatic policy of the BOC in the international arena as an independent entity. Also, the analysis is required for formulation of regularities in the sphere of church-state relations, and for comparative studies.
Bishop Ivan Lyatyshevsky and the Bohorodchany: From the Materials of the Chronicle of the Sisters-Myrrhbearers (1929-1939)
Authors: Maslii Olha (s. Andreia)
Published: August 2022

The article deals with the analyse of the activities of Auxiliary Bishop Ivan Lyatyshevsky based on the chronicle of the convent: «History of the House of Sisters- Myrrhbearers in Bohorodchany (1929–1939)». The circumstances of Bishop Ivan’s episcopal ordination, his visit to the convent of Sisters- Myrrhbearers, the attitude of the nuns to the bishop, as well as important events from the family and parish life of the Bohorodchany community are shown. Special attention is paid to the circumstances that preceded the bishop’s visit to Bohorodchany, to the persons who accompanied His Eminence Ivan Lyatyshevsky. The relations between the hierarchs of the Church, in particular, Bishop Ivan with Metropolitan A. Sheptytsky and Bishop G. Khomyshyn are revealed. Chronological framework of this chronicle covers the period from 1929 until 1939. Due to the beginning of the Second World War, the records of nuns were deprived of systematicity.
Constitutional foundations of national security of Ukraine: current issues and legal conflicts
Authors: Lutskyi Roman
Published: August 2022

The ability of the subjects of constitutional relations - and among them primarily man, society and the state - to resist the destructive manifestations of constitutional conflicts, as well as other internal and external threats characterizes a relatively new concept for the theory of constitutional law - the concept of constitutional security. First proposed in 1997, it developed as a structural element of national security theory. This justifies itself, as constitutional practice clearly demonstrates both the social value of the Constitution itself and the need to stabilize constitutional and legal relations by reducing the intensity of constitutional conflict.
Religiosity of the population and society, perception of the "Russian peace" ideology in countries with a majority of Orthodox Christians in the eastern and central parts of Europe
Authors: Yarotskyi Petro
Published: August 2022

The religious processes in 10 countries of Eastern and Central Europe whose population 25 years after the collapse of the totalitarian system and the bankruptcy of the dominant ideology of national atheism were enabled to form their attitude to religion and choose their affiliation to any church or religious organization freely and consciously are studied in this article. These processes in 2016-2017 were explored by the American Pew Research Center that studies trends in the development of science, technology, religion and society. The Global Religious Futures project («The Future of Global Religion») is aimed at exploring religious changes in 10 countries with Orthodox and Catholic majority of the population that affect personal and social life and shape national, cultural and religious identity. The relationship between denominational identity and the religious identity of the Orthodox population in the countries of Eastern and Central Europe and the assessment of the current state of Orthodox religiosity is analyzed in this light. Their attitude to the idea "Russian world" in the context of the recognition of Russia as "defender of the Orthodox population" outside the Russian Federation is the determining factor in the religious, national and cultural identity of the Orthodox and Catholics in these countries.

This aspect of the research enabled to determine the priority of the Orthodox patriarchal dominant in the attitude of the Orthodox Churches to the Moscow and Ecumenical Patriarchs. Cross-national and cross-confessional relations, ethnic and confessional diversity, national and religious homogeneity of a society and multiculturalism are of the huge importance for the identification of the nature of the religious changes in European countries with Orthodox and Catholics majorities. In this context in particular the position of the interviewed Ukrainian Orthodox is highlighted.

Drenaje nasovesicular: alternativa endoscópica para la colecistitis aguda grave
Authors: Caamaño Daniela , Dutto Carolina , Adi José
Published: August 2022

La colecistitis aguda es causada mayormente por la obstrucción del conducto cístico o del cuello de la vesícula por cálculos biliares. El manejo habitual es la colecistectomía de emergencia o urgencia, dependiendo de la severidad de la enfermedad. En los pacientes de alto riesgo quirúrgico, se opta por el drenaje de la vesícula biliar, cuyo abordaje es tradicionalmente percutáneo o bien con métodos endoscópicos a través la colocación de tubos nasobiliares, stents transpapilares o stents transmurales por ecoendoscopía. El abordaje endoscópico cuenta con la ventaja de proteger la integridad de la barrera cutánea, es menos doloroso y tiene un menor impacto en la calidad de vida del paciente. Se presentan dos casos clínicos de drenaje endoscópico: el de una paciente con colecistitis aguda y shock séptico en contexto de quemaduras graves y el de un paciente añoso con similar deterioro clínico, a quienes se les realizó drenaje endoscópico con colocación de sonda nasovesicular, con buena respuesta clínica y resolución quirúrgica posterior.

Authors:   The Northeast Asia Economic Association Of Korea, Lee Hyunju
Published: August 2022

This study aims to examine the current status of the Chinese smart city market, evaluate the potential to enter China's smart city through corporate FGI and Korea-China technology competitiveness evaluation, and present implications for Korea's entry strategy. As for the entry of foreign companies, it was confirmed that the government policy classifies key technology fields directly related to smart cities such as smart devices, artificial intelligence, 5G communication technology, IoT, and blockchain technology as investment incentives. In addition, it was confirmed that it is difficult to say that Korea is dominating China except for technologies such as smart devices, ICT convergence, and the Internet of Things in Korea-China smart city technology competitiveness analysis. Based on this market judgment, this study proposed corporate matching and cooperation support through "(tentative) Smart City Korea-China online corporate cooperation platform", at the corporate level, seeking business opportunities based on demand for smart city development.

Importanţa figurativului în ultima sută de ani
Authors: Sandu Liviu-Adrian
Published: August 2022

In this article, I will present the postromantic movement, in the hopes that the the aesthetic future of art will belong to those artists who truly value the beauty consecrated for thousands of years by artistic talent. In my opinion, only artistic talent can make the difference between a dilettante and a true professional artist. I long to see the day when artistic value will be recognized, as it used to be, as the result of practical accomplishments not through the possession of a diploma or national ranking of art or resounding critical reviews. I believe that a true artist is not formed only in art schools. A true artist has, deep within his being, an intuitive combination of wish, dream and vision. This gift is only brought to fruition only by those who have the will of saints and the technique of the great masters.
Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇa Upaniṣad (Traducere Adnotatǎ)/Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇa Upaniṣad (Annotated Translation)
Authors: Nedu Ovidiu
Published: August 2022

Kauṣītaki-Brāhmaṇa Upani⋅ad este unul dintre cele mai vechi texte Upaniṣad, redactat în prozǎ, dar incluzând numeroase pasaje citate din literatura vedicǎ, acestea fiind în general în versuri. Textul este divizat în patru capitole.

Primul capitol are ca temǎ escatologia brahmanǎ. Discutǎ despre soarta postumǎ a sufletului, care o poate lua fie pe Pitṛyāna (“calea taţilor”), continuându-şi astfel transmigraţia prin Univers, fie pe Devayāna (“calea zeilor”). Devayāna este urmatǎ de aceia care l-au realizat pe Brahman şi, ca urmare, sunt eliberaţi din Univers, urmând ca, la moarte, sǎ se reabsoarbǎ în sursa lor ontologicǎ (Brahman, realitatea ultimǎ).

Celelalte trei capitole expun o perspectivǎ vitalistǎ cu privire la Univers. Esenţa întregului Univers este totuna cu esenţa vieţii, adicǎ suflul (prāṇa). Principiul vieţii este titodatǎ principiu universal; în ultimǎ instanţǎ, totul se reduce la viaţǎ, la suflu. În felul acesta, viaţa devine realitatea ultimǎ, principiu universal.
Le Pan - Spiritualisme Hindou. L'Advaita Vedānta et L'antériorité de L'homme par rapport à l'univers
Authors: Nedu Ovidiu
Published: August 2022

The monist school of Advaita Vedānta, the “official” philosophy of Hinduism, when dealing with the relation between man and Universe, takes a stand totally opposite to the one of the realistic common sense. Man is not just a part of the Universe, but rather the subject which projects the Universe. The Universe is nothing but illusory experience and it can't be found anywhere else but in the consciousness of the subject which experiences it.

The manifestation of the Universe starts when consciousness gets, first of all, covered by ignorance and, consequently, loses its self-awareness. Instead of comprehending itself, the consciousness thus affected by ignorance starts projecting some successive layers of illusion which represent the personal identity wrongly assumed by consciousness and the experience of the Universe.

The article deals with the successive steps through which consciousness manifests the Universe. Starting with the causal body (kāraṇa śarīra), where consciousness has been only dulled by ignorance (avidyā, ajñāna), the projection of the Universe takes more and more definite forms. It determines itself as an individual at the level of the subtle body (sūkṣma śarīra), which is the psychic structure of the individual being. In its coarsest forms, it manifests as the gross body (sthūla śarīra), the physical Universe, which is only a very dense, compact form of illusion. Materiality is nothing but a particularly opaque form of ignorance.

Thus, the Universe represents a cosmic expansion of the person, the consciousness which goes out of its own nature and, through the intermediary of the psychic structure, projects all forms of “materiality”. Man and Universe can never be separated, both being only different layers of the manifestation of consciousness (cit).
Romanian grain market in the British Russophobia context (1829–1853)
Authors: Constantin Cristian
Published: August 2022

In this paper the author present the rivalry of the mouths of Danube market and the south Russian hinterland. The Russo-Turkish treaty of Adrianople (1829) marked the beginnings of a new era in the history of the Romanians, opening significant perspectives of political, institutional or national development, although Russia's status as protector of Wallachia and Moldavia overshadowed these prospects. The Danube River was the most appropriate artery for connect the Romanian market with central Europe, Black Sea and the Mediterranean markets. The Sulina channel was still the only way of access of commercial ships to and from the Danubian ports. Two cities, Galati in Moldavia and Braila in Wallachia, personify the interests and hopes of the principalities regarding the Danube. These ports are the result of the Romanian and British economic policies of this era.

Identities on the Go: Homelands and Languages in Balkan and Turkish–Cypriot Literature
Authors: Katsigianni Anna-Marina
Published: August 2022

The present study focuses on tracing the depictions of the poetic subject in the light of lost homelands, linguistic foreignness and multilingualism, in poems about “political ethics”, which all too clearly converse with history—narratives that highlight the geographically and linguistically homeless poetic subject, in poems which are always written under the weight of a specific historical event, in other words articulated “under the heavy footsteps of history”. The transition from stability to instability, the feeling of physical and psychological loss through geographical and cultural change is vividly reflected in both Balkan and Turkish-Cypriot literature. In the present study, poems by Balkan poets are examined alongside poems by Turkish-Cypriot poet Mehmet Yaşin. Despite the self-evident cultural differences between Balkan and Turkish-Cypriot literature, there exist factors that warrant their co-examination; common narrative structures and similar themes—at least in part—require that they be systematically read together. The common historical past and the burden of memory—the construction or reconstruction through these texts of a collective point of reference and the transfer to common memorial sites; internal migration; the survival of common oral forms of poetry; divergent or ‘heretical’ writings; linguistic transitions; the processing of transitional identities: these are just some of the most obvious points of convergence. Balkan poems constitute a distinct category and, as will be shown below, are linked to Turkish-Cypriot ones primarily through their ideology. Some of the themes that persistently recur in Balkan poets' and Yaşin's work are: lost homelands, the reception of alterity, internal migration, shattered identities, the thematisation of orality and multilingualism. Yaşin's poetry registers the multiple transitions of language and the coexistence of foreign languages, while also making use of the Karamanlidika dialect.
Agricultural Cooperatives as Social-Engineering Mechanisms: Fragments of Evidence from Two Case Studies from the Interwar Greek Macedonia
Authors: Vlachos George L.
Published: August 2022

Centered on rural Greek Macedonia, this article constitutes an attempt to assess the role of agricultural cooperatives as mechanisms capable of molding a sturdy and efficient farmer. As it will be argued here, this was the intention of the Ministry of Economics (and later, Ministry of Agriculture) officials who composed the standard statute for agricultural cooperatives. By applying a micro-historical perspective, based on the archives of two agricultural cooperatives of interwar Greek Macedonia, this article provides evidence that gives cause to doubt whether the proclaimed goals were achieved.
Effects of Market Structure on Broadband Quality in Local U.S. Residential Service Markets
Authors: Flamm Kenneth , Varas Pablo
Published: August 2022

Does entry and exit of competitors from broadband services markets have large effects on the quality of broadband plans offered to consumers? Answers to this question inform design of subsidies to improved broadband in underserved areas, and antitrust policy. The authors investigate quality effects of entry (or exit) in 2014 legacy (cable and digital subscriber line) duopoly residential markets. Entry or exit by legacy technology providers had large impacts on 2018 service quality, though impacts diminished rapidly with continued entry. Entry by a single fiber Internet service provider (ISP) had no impact on available quality; entry by more fiber ISPs had modest but statistically significant effects.

Pneumomediastinum in COVID-19 critically ill patients: A case series of unusual complication from a Tunisian intensive care unit
Authors: Ben Braiek Dhouha , Mighri Imen , Zorgati Hend , Ben Jazia Rahma , Kacem Ameni , Ayachi Jihene
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new rapidly emerging and ever-evolving disease that clinicians continue to detect new manifestations and complications daily since December 2019. Pneumomediastinum, a potentially life-threatening condition, is an uncommon complication of acute respiratory distress syndrome from viral infections. By presenting this case series, we highlight that pneumomediastinum (PM) can complicate the course of a severe COVID-19 infection.

Case Series: We identified four critically ill patients, two men and two women, aged between 50 and 70 years old. None of them had any underlying lung disease. On admission all cases were in acute respiratory distress syndrome. Three patients were under positive pressure ventilation both invasive (n = 2/4) and non-invasive (n = 1/4) at the time of the event; however, one patient had a spontaneous PM without any exposure to mechanical ventilation. Chest computed tomography scan (chest CT scan) was performed for all patients showing a pulmonary involvement estimated moderate (n = 3/4) to severe (n = 1/4), PM (n = 4/4) and subcutaneous emphysema (n = 2/4). For ventilated patients, PM was diagnosed 3 to 7 days after initiation of mechanical ventilation. The highest positive end-expiratory pressure was 10 cmH2O for patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, while 5 cmH2O for patient who had developed PM on non-invasive ventilation. The PM was managed by conservative therapy in all of the cases with reducing airway pressure.

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that PM is secondary to inflammatory response due to COVID-19 and mostly triggered by the use of positive pressure ventilation and it is associated with poor outcome in critically ill COVID-19 patients.

ÉTICA LIBERAL E AS MODIFICAÇÕES DAS RELAÇÕES GERACIONAIS
Authors: Semeão Lucas De Almeida
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo tem o objetivo de realizar uma discussão acerca da sensação de atemporalidade nas sociedades orientadas pela ética liberal, e de entender, a partir da sociologia compreensiva de Max Weber, como essa sensação vem modificando as relações geracionais. Através de livros dos mais diversos campos das ciências sociais, artigos, materiais jornalísticos e de vídeo, será defendida a tese de que o antinatalismo, os movimentos pela descriminalização do aborto, o desenvolvimento de certos ramos da genética humana e as demandas mais recentes do movimento childfree podem ser vistos, em parte, como sintomas da sensação de descontinuidade temporal e geracional. Por outro lado, também será mostrado como a rejeição a priori do conhecimento empírico vem afetando a relação entre jovens e idosos. No entanto, esses efeitos promovidos nas sociedades liberais, sobretudo de viés progressista, não devem ser encarados como uma conspiração dos jovens contra as potenciais gerações futuras e os idosos, mas, sim, como desdobramentos sociais não planejados, originados das ações individuais deliberadas.
An Experimental Study of Pyrochlore Solubility in Peralkaline Granitic Melts
Authors: Yong Tang , Linnen Robert L. , McNeil Alysha G.
Published: August 2022

Peralkaline rocks (defined by molar (Na + K)/Al > 1) are typically enriched in Nb and halogens (such as F and Cl). They can further be subdivided into silica-saturated (e.g., alkali granites) and silica-undersaturated (e.g., nepheline syenites). The current study investigates the solubility product (Ksp) of pyrochlore, the most important ore mineral for Nb in peralkaline granites. The Ksp of pyrochlore increases strongly with increasing temperature and with decreasing A/CNK (molar Al2O3/CaO+Na2O+K2O). By contrast, the Ksp of pyrochlore is only weakly dependent on the F content of the melt, if F concentrations are greater than 1 wt %. The Ksp values of pyrochlore from this study are compared to those of columbite from both this study and the literature to evaluate the controls on the crystallization of these two Nb minerals for granites in variable composition. In peralkaline granitic melts with A/CNK < 1, the Ksp values of pyrochlore are lower than those of columbite, but in peraluminous melts with A/CNK > 1, the Ksp values of pyrochlore are higher than those of columbite, and in subaluminous melts, the Ksp values of pyrochlore and columbite are almost the same. Thus, for melts with similar concentrations of essential structural constituents (Ca-Na in the case of pyrochlore and Mn in the case of columbite), the solubility experiments explain why pyrochlore is more common in peralkaline granitic systems, whereas columbite is the main Nb-bearing mineral in peraluminous systems.

An expression that describes the dependence of logKsp on temperature and A/CNK was obtained using the experimental results from the F-enriched granitic melts:logKsp=(−5.22±0.50)×(1000⁄T)−(1.91±0.16)×A/CNK+(3.60±0.61)R2=0.97 where temperature (T) is in Kelvin (K). Using this expression, the saturation solubility or the crystallization temperature of pyrochlore can be calculated for the differentiation of peralkaline granitic magmas. This equation was used in conjunction with data from natural melt inclusions to evaluate whether these melts could have been pyrochlore-saturated. In some cases, the melts could not have been pyrochlore-saturated at reasonable temperatures, but in other cases, notably the pegmatite melts at Strange Lake, the concentrations of the essential structural constituents of pyrochlore (i.e., Nb, Ca, Na, F) in the melt inclusions are consistent with magmatic pyrochlore saturation.
Euphemism and contextual beliefs in gender-related issues in Helon Habila’s Measuring Time
Authors:   Nwafor Orizu College of Education  Nsugbe, Anambra State, Nigeria, Department of English and Literature, Nonye Caroline Osuchukwu , Chika Kate Ojukwu
Published: August 2022

This study examined how euphemism and contextual beliefs are deplored in discourse to characterise gender issues in Helon Habila’s Measuring Time in order to determine the contextual beliefs associated with such euphemistic expressions. Euphemism and contextual beliefs are essential in understanding the ways by which literary writers depict social issues through lexical and stylistic choices. The study adopts aspects of politeness theory, and the contextual beliefs (CBs) model. Excerpts from the novel that are related to widowhood/widowerhood experiences are subjected to lexical and discourse analyses. Two CBs are categorised as widowhood/widowerhood issues in the novel: Shared Knowledge of Patriarchal Laxity (SKPL) and Shared Knowledge of Loneliness/Companionship Search (SKL/CS). These CBs projected the euphemistic expressions with different underlying structures for widowhood and widowerhood practices respectively. The study found that euphemism and contexts are correlated because context could influence the interpretation of euphemism or restrict its application. Evidently, euphemism and contextual beliefs transform into a significant whole which novelists use in the gendered construction of widowhood/widowerhood.

Speeches are meant to communicate the intentions of the speaker. Elected African leaders and other political office holdersaround the world normally make speeches during campaigns to communicate their manifestoes to the electorate. Acceptance speeches are also made after their victories at the polls.This is followed by inaugural speeches on the day they assume office. Apart from these events that require speeches, there are also many other circumstances or events that call for speeches from political leaders during their reign. This study analyses the acceptance speech made by President Goodluck Jonathan following his victory in the 2011 presidential election. The speech act theory propounded by J.L. Austinwas adopted in the analysis of the speech. The result indicates that President Jonathan utilized assertive and directive statements during the said speech. This indicates that whereas he implied a certain degree of commitment on the one hand, he was nevertheless evasive in terms of committing himself to the expectations of the citizens.
Realism, eloquence and symbolism in Reuben Ugbine's ceramic sculptures
Authors:   University of Nigeria Nsukka, Department of Fine and Applied Arts, Chuu Krydz Ikwuemesi , Nnaemeka Egwuibe , Eva Obodo
Published: August 2022

Ceramics is often seen as utilitarian art, although some contemporary Nigerian ceramists like Chris Echeta, Tony Umunna and Ozioma Onuzulike have tried to re-inscribe it as veritable fine art. Conversely, sculpture in recent times has shifted mostly towards the stylised, abstract and conceptual, as can be seen in recent works by select sculptors. Although the above trends may be deemed to be general, there are still artists who seem to defy or subvert the trends through the formal and iconographic essences of their works. The works of Reuben Ugbine, a graduate of sculpture from Yaba College of Technology Lagos, provide a good example and have received huge attention due to their style, visual eloquence and social commitment. This paper, therefore, examines Ugbine’s ceramic sculptures and how they transcend the banality of genre and subvert the common expectations from contemporary ceramics and sculpture in their embodiment of meaning and social relevance.

Literary translation is very vital in surmounting linguistic and cultural barriers. To date, Europeans who were strangers to the African culture did most translations of African novels into foreign languages. This accounts for the lacunas in their translations. This research, therefore, investigates the French version of Nwapa’sEfuru, with the focus to carry out a detailed analysis of the text and uncover the faulty translations therein. The seven translation techniques propounded by J.P. Vinay and J. Darbelnet were adopted in the analysis of this work. The result shows that some cultural elements were wrongly translated, thereby implying that although the translator, Marie-Jo Demoulin-Astre, possesses a great linguistic competence, she was found wanting in the knowledge of African culture.

Due to novelty of Coronavirus disease, the understanding of its pathology, clinical outcomes, prognostic factors, and treatment is still in its nascent stage. Kidney dysfunction is reported in many patients. We report a finding of an uncommon form of urine crystals in a RT-PCR confirmed case of COVID-19 patient. RT-PCR confirmed case of COVID-19 patient, no clinical history of renal calculi reported until day 7 of the treatment. Treatment mainly comprised of favipiravir, vitamin C and zinc. On seventh day of treatment the patient became asymptomatic but the crystals were observed in the urine. The loading dose of favipiravir in COVID-19 positive patient considered as the reason for the urine crystals. In view of nephrotoxic nature of the disease as well as the drugs used in its therapy, it is important to look for subtle signs as well as inexpensive tests which can give vital information, to pick these complications early. Although this observation was made on a single patient, contributions from multiple centres can help understand this further, with keen observation on urine microscopy of COVID-19 patients.

Fragility fracture is a fracture resulting from mechanical forces that would not ordinarily result in fractures known as low-level trauma. Fragility fracture due to osteoporosis is not so uncommon in men >50 years of age, the prevalence of osteoporosis is approximately 2% at age of 50 years, and the male has a 1:5 chance of osteoporotic fractures. The lifetime risk of fracture in men aged 50 or more is between 13 and 30 %, and out of this 10 % of fractures were at the forearm. As per osteoporosis fragility fracture guidelines should be assessed for risk factors like Previous fragility fracture, Use of glucocorticoids, History of falls, Family history of hip fractures, Low Body mass index i.e. BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, Smoking and alcohol intake history >21 units/ week.

Thirteen forest stands located perpendicular to a river course were studied for species composition and regeneration pattern in the Bhabhar belt located at the foothill of the Himalaya characterized by tropical climate. The study area was severely impacted by anthropogenic disturbances. In the stands complete dominance by any one species was lacking except one stand were Sal (Shorea robusta) the late successional Dipterocarpaceae species grew pure. In a few stands trees of Holoptela integrifolia, Dalbergia sissoo and Tectona grandis (planted), Trewia nudiflora and Acacia catechu were present in sizable number. Mallotus phillipensis is the greatest reproducer in this study area recruiting generally many more seedlings and saplings than other forest species. This non-fodder species had comparatively better regeneration than good fodder species.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the various characteristics of teacher's question to find out whether teachers who teach STEAM classes are conducting effective classes that can stimulate creativity and improve problem-solving skills. For the purpose of the study, the video recording data of the 8th hour of the STEAM class by two special education teachers and the teaching/learning process plan of the class were collected. Then, researchers and research assistants transcribed all verbal interactions that appeared in class and the researcher read the transcription data line by line and analyzed the type of questions. The results of the study are as follows. First, when examining the questions that appeared in the STEAM class of special school teachers for students with intellectual disabilities by question type, closed questions including cognitive & memorial questions and convergent thinking question were very high, and open-ended questions including divergent thinking questions and evaluative thinking questions were relatively low. Second, the stage of STEAM class was divided into introduction, development, and wrap-up stages, and as a result of analyzing the degree of use of question by special school teacher for students with intellectual disabilities according to each stage, the question was used a lot in the order of development, introduction, and wrap-up stage. By analyzing teachers' question in the operation of STEAM classes, it will be possible to prepare basic data for improving science classes using STEAM education in special schools for students with intellectual disabilities.

Authors: Zhao Yi , Mohd Yusof Sanitah , Hou Mingyu
Published: August 2022

The mixed research focused on the interaction in the online classroom and discovered that (1) functional crisis, psychological and motivational crisis, and technical crises affect all aspects of interaction; (2) students pay more attention to the interaction itself of online classroom, while teachers emphasize the influence of interaction on learning effectiveness, which reflects the divergences and conflicts between them. The students’ sensibility and teachers’ rationality may be the root cause of interaction problems. This is a novel discovery, which has not been mentioned in the past and may help to solve many long-standing problems in online classroom.
The Use of Linguistic Landscape as a Training Resource for Developing Students’ Translation Competence
Authors: Algryani Ali
Published: August 2022

This study is an attempt to investigate the efficacy of using linguistic landscape scripts as a training material to develop student translators’ translation competence. Focusing on the sub-competences stated in PACTE’s model of translation competence, namely the bilingual, extra-linguistic, strategic and knowledge about translation sub-competences, the study, based on the participants’ reflective feedback and instructor’s observations, aims to determine whether the use of bilingual public signs with translational content can help translation students develop their translation competence. The qualitative data used in the study were collected via focus group discussions, instructor’s observations and a survey to obtain students’ perspectives. The study found out that through discussion, evaluation and reflection on authentic materials taken from students’ environment, students can raise their bilingual, procedural and strategic awareness, which contributes to development of self-confidence in decision-making and problem-solving skills in the translation process. Furthermore, the study revealed that the use of such authentic experiential materials can provide students with a range of practices, actors and factors related to the process of translation that enhances their extra-linguistic competence and knowledge about translation, which eventually enables them produce translations that conform to the standards of meaningfulness, appropriateness and correctness required by the target audience.
