FEMINISM AND DISSIDENT FEMININITY IN POPULAR CULTURE. CHER’S ROLE AND THE ROLE OF RELIGION IN MOONSTRUCK
Authors: Cadilhe Orquídea
Published: March 2021

When looking at representations of women, one is faced with the way such representations were conditioned by the prevailing mentality of a particular age, that is to say, how they were ‘framed’ by it. In this article we start by carefully looking at how, in spite of having had frames imposed on them in a constraining way, women have successfully resisted and reworked them, shockingly catapulting traditional iconography to a new sphere; namely popular icons. A ‘damsel in distress’ is, definitely, a ‘framed’ woman. She has been, throughout history, a common archetype in myth. Always helpless, she is in need of being rescued by a male figure; an idea that must have done wonders to the egos of male writers and readers alike. For that reason, we will be looking at ‘damsels in distress’ along history. More specifically, we apply the notion of frame to representations of gender and explore how popular culture is frequently capable of ‘unframing’ those representations. Our case study is the 1987 post classical romantic comedy Moonstruck an intersemiotic and intertextual product with traces of both Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Puccini’s opera La Bohème, three stories in which ‘damsels in distress’ play the main role in the plot in order to deconstruct the above mentioned stereotype of ‘the damsel’ with the ‘help’ of strong female characters, one of them being Loretta, the character played by Cher.

“MEU SENHOR DE QUÊ”: TRAVESTIMENTOS DA VOZ NA POESIA DE ANA LUÍSA AMARAL
Authors: Freitas Marinela
Published: March 2021

O presente ensaio reflete sobre o espaço de encenação do masculino na poesia de Ana Luísa Amaral. As “vozes travestidas” ou declinadas no masculino oferecem a possibilidade de descobrir novas “gramáticas do olhar”, que permitem à poeta ocupar o lugar do Outro, (re)criando-o e transformando-o, ao mesmo tempo que se exploram os complexos trânsitos entre o masculino e o feminino, os eu e o(s) outro(s), a realidade e a ficção.
O ENSAIO COMO PROCEDIMENTO DE LEITURA-ESCRITURA EM “O ESPÍRITO DOS MEUS PAIS CONTINUA A SUBIR NA CHUVA”
Authors: Gurgel Almeida Rafael , De Menezes Santos Mônica
Published: March 2021

Neste trabalho, ler-se o romance O espírito dos meus pais continua a subir na chuva, de Patricio Pron, de modo a investigar como o autor se apropria da memória a respeito da última ditadura militar argentina, ingressando no que tem sido chamada de “literatura dos filhos” (COSTA; SANTOS, 2016). Para tanto, aciona-se material teórico que problematiza a recuperação historiográfica e a diluição das fronteiras entre real e ficção. Aqui, o Ensaio enquanto forma e postura investigativa torna-se o procedimento balizador, sobretudo por dizer de uma aproximação que acolhe a incerteza a respeito de seu objeto.

Maternal mortality is among the neglected problem in the District of Uzumba, Zimbabwe. This qualitative study therefore, explores the patriarchal hegemonies embedded in the socio-cultural harmful practices, traditions, beliefs, values and norms associated with maternal mortality in Uzumba district. These have been neglected in the reduction initiatives of maternal mortality. The originality of this study lies in the use of primary data through interviews and observation methods on the key informants and significant. Snowballing technique was employed in this study to select the key informants and significant others. The study have also benefited from the proliferation of secondary data on the social phenomena of maternal mortality across the globe. The results of the study showed that, despite the medical related causes of maternal mortality, the non-medical aspects such as patriarchal hegemonies in the socio-cultural practices, beliefs, traditions, norms, values and perceptions play a significant role in escalating maternal mortality especially in Uzumba district, Zimbabwe. The article therefore, recommends that maternal mortality reduction needs more of a holistic approach of medical and non-medical initiatives as it is still the major problem in Zimbabweâ€™s rural communities. Therefore, maternal mortality can be addressed and reduced within the socio-cultural context as shown in Uzumba district, Zimbabwe.

Published: March 2021

It cannot be denied that children nowadays are very familiar with Internet. They mostly use internet connection for playing games rather than supporting their school assignments. Most online games the children play are imported from abroad so that language used is mostly English. As a result, children frequently pick up many English words from the game naturally. The present study is the continuous study of the vocabulary learning strategy mapping among 28 primary school students on grade 5 using the VOLSQUES survey. From the survey, the researcher found that 29% respondents chose internet as the source of their English vocabulary input. Started from this finding, the researcher continue the study by conducting descriptive qualitative research on those 29% respondents. The focus is on recognizing the Internet content commonly the respondents use and type of English vocabulary input they gain. All the respondents admit that they frequently play online games, especially the Mobile Legend game. The interesting result is that the participants are mostly unable to read and write the English words they recognize from the game correctly. This is understandable since the children listen from the game narrators. Besides, the typical English words they acquire are instructions.

Hermeneutika Filosofis Hans-Georg Gadamer sebagai Basis Ontologis Multikulturalisme
Authors: Mukalam Mukalam , Murtiningsih Siti
Published: March 2021

AbstractThis paper aims to make Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics the ontological basis of multiculturalism. This is interesting to do because, first, multiculturalism can be seen as a hermeneutical phenomenon and secondly, philosophical hermeneutics contains significant concepts for multiculturalism, such as tradition, effective historical awareness, dialogue and fusion of horizons. To reveal the ontological vision contained in philosophical hermeneutics, this paper uses Heidegger's existential ontology as its formal object, namely the concept of being-in-a-world. With analogical analysis, the ontological vision of philosophical hermeneutics is obtained, namely dialectical ontology. This ontological vision becomes the ontological basis for multiculturalism as dialogical multiculturalism.Â Keywords: Philosophical hermeneutics, ontology, multiculturalism
Seni Rupa sebagai Alternatif Pendekatan dalam Meningkatkan Kecerdasan Spiritual
Authors: Prihwanto Puji
Published: March 2021

Modern humans place too much emphasis on the outer side that they are trapped in a materialist and hedonist lifestyle. As a result, modern humans experience drought in the spirituality side. Modern humans are prone to stress in the face of increasingly severe life pressures, even to the stage of depression. Depression that is not treated properly causes psychiatric disorders or suicidal behavior. The high number of suicidal behavior in recent years shows the low value of modern human spirituality. Spiritual studies have been carried out by scientists in the field of psychology. In psychology, spirituality and religion have different dimensions. One can have a high spiritual value without having to be religious. One of the human activities that has spiritual potential is art. This research was conducted to determine the effect of art activities in the spiritual development of humans. This study uses qualitative methods with triangulation techniques. The results of this study indicate that visual arts have spiritual potential, so they can be used as a means to develop the spiritual side of humans.

Desde diciembre de 2019, en Wuhan, provincia de Hubei (China), se empezaron a describir una serie de casos de infección respiratoria aguda, que rápidamente progresaron a un compromiso respiratorio severo dado por neumonía grave y falla respiratoria aguda, con requerimiento de ingreso a unidades de cuidado intensivo (UCI), sin respuesta adecuada a los tratamientos con antibióticos instaurados y que, eventualmente, desencadenaban la muerte. Los casos iniciales se relacionaron con trabajadores o visitantes de los mercados húmedos o de comida marina de Wuhan, donde hay muchas especies de animales vivos, pero luego se describieron casos en trabajadores de la salud del hospital de Wuhan y en personas que no estuvieron en contacto con estos mercados, pero sí con personas enfermas o que hubiesen visitado dichos sitios (1-7).

 

Todos los esfuerzos para identificar el agente etiológico, que incluyeron métodos convencionales, pruebas de biología molecular y extracción de material genético, permitieron determinar una nueva especie de coronavirus, diferente a los otros hasta entonces conocidos, pero con gran similitud genética al que ocasionó el síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SARS) en 2002, en la provincia de Guangdong, China (1-4, 8-11). Para el 07 de enero de 2020, los funcionarios de la salud pública de China confirmaron este hallazgo. Por esta razón, a este nuevo agente causante de este SARS y neumonía se le denominó nuevo coronavirus 2019 (nCoV-2019), pero luego se modificó su nombre a SARS-CoV-2, y a la enfermedad que genera se le denominó enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) (1, 8-11).
Thomas Bernhard

Published: March 2021

Wie kann die Psychoanalyse als Methode zur Interpretation und zum Erkenntnisgewinn der literarischen Kunst angewandt und sinnvoll genutzt werden? Dieser Frage widmen sich Gernot Klose und Markus Heinz anhand des Werks des österreichischen Dichters Thomas Bernhard. Sie reflektieren, erforschen und diskutieren die Beziehung zwischen Psychoanalyse und Literatur und untersuchen auf dieser Grundlage Leben und Werk Thomas Bernhards. Die Autoren verfolgen dabei zwei Schwerpunkte: zum einen die kritische, theoretische Auseinandersetzung mit bisherigen Leistungen der psychoanalytischen Literaturwissenschaft, zum anderen eine direkte, praxisbezogene Anwendung und Überprüfung der Ergebnisse dieser Auseinandersetzung am Gegenstand der Literatur selbst.

Der erste Band enthält die komplexe Entwicklung der Beziehung zwischen Psychoanalyse und Kunst, setzt diese in einen synoptischen Zusammenhang und diskutiert psychoanalytische Bedingungen künstlerischer Kreativität und Produktivität. Im zweiten Band werden Rezeptionsprozesse untersucht und im Zuge einer Interpretation von Thomas Bernhards Werk der Einfluss von Biografischem in Beziehung mit Fragen zur Ästhetik und der literarischen Form gerückt.

NUMBERS IN THE NEWS TEXT (BASED ON MATERIAL OF ONE ISSUE OF NATIONWIDE NEWSPAPER “DAY”)
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Ripey Mariya
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of the digital content of publications of one issue of the daily All-Ukrainian newspaper “Den” (March 13-14, 2020). The author aims to identify the main thematic groups of digital designations, as well as to consider cases of justified and unsuccessful use of digital designations. Applying the content analysis method, the author identifies publications that contain numerical notations, determines the number of such notations and their affiliation with the main subject groups. Finds that the thematic group of digital designations “time” (58.6% of all digital designations) is much more dominant. This indicates that timing is the most important task of a newspaper text. The second largest group of digital designations is “measure” (15.8% of all digital designations). It covers dimensions and proportions, measurements of distance, weight, volume, and more. The third largest group of digital signage is money (8.2% of all digital signage), the fourth is numbering (5.2% of all digital signage), and the fifth is people (4.4% of all digital signage). The author focuses on the fact that the digits of the journalist’s text are both a source of information and a catch for the reader. Vivid indicators give the text a sense of accuracy. When referring digital data to the text, journalists must adhere to certain rules for the writing of ordinal numbers with incremental graduation; submission of dates; pointing to unique integers that are combined (or not combined) with units of physical quantities, monetary units, etc.; writing a numerator at the beginning of a sentence; unified presentation of data. This will greatly facilitate the reader’s perception of the information.
COMMUNICATIVE FEATURES OF UKRAINIAN VIDEO BLOGS ON THE EXAMPLE OF YOUTUBE-CHANNELS OF «TORONTO TV», YANINA SOKOLOVA, AND OSTAP DROZDOV
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Rudyk Myroslava
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the Ukrainian segment of video blogging as one of the most popular types of the functioning of the modern blogosphere. The content and statistics of popular video blogs were studied on the example of YouTube channels of Ukrainian bloggers and famous journalists. Today we are witnessing the rapid development of technologies that help journalists become better, and the creators of media content to work more quickly and ensure the completeness of the information. With the help of Internet communication, new ways of disseminating information have appeared in journalism. Journalists more often create their blogs on various platforms. Blogosphere video content has become very popular among the Ukrainian audience on YouTube because today the video format is the most effective in terms of communication. The YouTube social network partially replaces television, and the variety of thematic content is ably adapted to a wide audience. The paper analyzes Ukrainian blogs managed by journalists, where they publish different content formats. Therefore, the presentation of various examples of video blogs in our work helps to understand the specifics of Ukrainian blogging at its current stage of development. After all, videos of popular people such as Michael Shchur, Yanina Sokolova, Ostap Drozdov demonstrate the peculiarities of Ukrainian popular video content. For the research, we chose those blogs that are currently relevant to Ukrainian YouTube and have their specifics and uniqueness. The main objective of a blogger is to react quickly to the flow of information because the rating of the channel being monetized depends on it. With the help of statistical data, we can conclude that the Ukrainian audience is interested in a wide range of different information. Viewers now value the independent opinion of bloggers and more often listen to it. Every important event is covered by bloggers promptly. And the format in which it is presented depends on the individual style of the author and the concept of his channel. We can conclude that the video content of the modern blogosphere is developing rapidly. This provides the audience with information for different tastes.

In 1997 and 2004, John Pullen and Trevor Hughes Parry published a set of manuscripts by and relating to Thomas Robert Malthus held at the Kanto Gakuen University in Japan. Their achievement is impressive. However a few important elements relating to these manuscripts escaped their attention. These elements concern Malthus, but also his very good friend and theoretical opponent David Ricardo.The purpose of this article is to point out these elements inasmuch as they enable 1) to establish the correct dating and contextualisation of some manuscripts, and 2) to attribute the true authorship of some other material.
Gibberella ear and stalk rot caused by Fusarium meridionale and F. graminearum: aggressiveness and mycotoxin production in the field
Authors: Machado Franklin Jackson , de Barros Aline Vieira , McMaster Nicole , Schmale David G. , Vaillancourt Lisa J. , Del Ponte Emerson Medeiros
Published: March 2021

Gibberella ear (GER) and stalk rot (GSR) of maize in Brazil are caused mainly by Fusarium meridionale, while F. graminearum is the more common cause of Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) on wheat. Our previous study of two maize isolates of each species suggested that this pattern of dominance may be due to greater aggressiveness and competitiveness of F. meridionale on maize. Here we have evaluated pathogenicity and toxigenicity of 16 isolates of F. graminearum and 24 isolates of F. meridionale recovered from both wheat and maize. Strains were individually inoculated into ears of four maize hybrids in field trials. GER severity varied significantly among isolates within each species. Although ranges overlapped, average GER severity induced by F. meridionale (13.9%) was two times higher than F. graminearum (7.2%) for isolates obtained from maize, but similar for those isolated from wheat (11.8 and 10.6% respectively). In contrast, severity of GSR was slightly numerically higher for F. graminearum (18.4%) versus F. meridionale (16.1%), with no effect of host of origin. Deoxynivalenol (DON) and its acetylated form 15ADON were the main mycotoxins produced by F. graminearum (7/16 strains), while nivalenol (NIV) was the only toxin produced by F. meridionale (17/24 strains). Six isolates of F. graminearum also produced zearalenone. Results confirm that F. meridionale from maize is, on average, more aggressive on maize, but suggest greater complexity related to diversity among individual isolates within each species. Further studies involving other components of the disease cycle may help to more fully explain the observed pattern of host dominance.

Published: March 2021

Apresentamos um roteiro de atuação em telessaúde para atendimento fonoaudiológico de pacientes adultos em domicilio e o aplicamos em um projeto comunitário durante a Pandemia da COVID-19. O presente roteiro foi desenvolvido em três etapas distintas. Inicialmente foi realizada uma revisão de literatura afim de identificar aspectos facilitadores e as barreiras para o atendimento de pacientes em casa via telessaúde. A segunda etapa consistiu na implementação de um serviço telefonoaudiologia associado a uma Unidade Básica de Saúde, a qual possibilitou experiência para discussão de meios facilitadores na prática clínica, bem como maneiras de qualificar a teleconsulta fonoaudiológica. A terceira etapa abrangeu a elaboração do roteiro que incluiu, além da escrita, a discussão detalhada de cada aspecto elencado no mesmo, buscando sua efetividade e integralidade. Foram selecionados e simplificados neste roteiro os principais aspectos que interferem na teleconsulta e formas de qualificar a telefonoaudiologia. Assim, o roteiro foi organizado em 20 itens, divididos em antes, durante e depois do atendimento fonoaudiológico, visando a efetividade da conduta fonoaudiológica. O roteiro apresentado se propõe a ser suporte para a atuação em telefonoaudiologia. Entretanto, deve ser adaptado à realidade cultural e social dos profissionais e pacientes que a esta forma de atuação forem expostos. Além disso, não se trata de um conjunto de práticas e procedimentos fechados em si, deverá ser atualizado conforme novos procedimentos e tecnologias estejam acessíveis para a atuação em telefonoaudiologia.
CD226 is differentially expressed in lymph node metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the breast and the brain reside the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with lymph node metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that cluster of differentiation 226, encoded by CD226, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Analysis of a separate microarray dataset revealed that CD226 was also differentially expressed in brain metastatic tissues (5). CD226 mRNA was present at increased quantities in lymph node metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of CD226 in primary tumors was correlated with patient overall survival in lymph node negative patients but not in lymph node positive patients. Modulation of CD226 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Published: March 2021

BackgroundCOVID-19 has posed a significant challenge to Infection and Prevention Control practices in UK hospitals. The epidemiology of nosocomial COVID-19 is not yet fully understood. MethodsIn this cohort study, all incidences of patient-to-patient exposure on non-COVID wards between October and December 2020 at a UK hospital trust were identified. Patient contacts were traced, and data collected on SARS-CoV-2 testing, length of stay and mortality outcome. Factors associated with acquiring infection, mortality and length of stay were investigated using multivariable regression and Cox proportional hazard modelling respectively. Findings575 patients were exposed across 24 clusters. 118 (19.5%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 within 14 days of exposure. Evidence of multiple introductions were found in four clusters and this was associated with a greater secondary attack rate (SAR). There was no detected transmission in 6 of the clusters.Sharing a bay and spending a longer time on the ward with the index case were associated with acquiring infection (ORs of 3.8, 95% CI: 1.89, 7.74, and 1.08, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.15 respectively). Half of all secondary cases did not develop symptoms.Patients acquiring symptomatic COVID-19 had four-fold increased odds of mortality. There was no difference in mortality between asymptomatic COVID-positive and COVID-negative patients. InterpretationExposure to COVID-19 in hospital often, but not always, leads to transmission. This study highlights the large mortality risk associated with symptomatic nosocomial COVID-19 infection and is the first to describe factors that can be used to understand a contact’s risk of developing infection post-exposure.

Protocol violations in López-Medina et al.: 38 switched ivermectin (IVM) and placebo doses, failure of blinding, widespread IVM sales OTC in Cali, and nearly identical AEs for the IVM and control groups
Authors: Scheim David , Hibberd Jennifer A. , Chamie-Quintero Juan
Published: March 2021

A randomized controlled trial for treatment of mild cases of COVID-19 conducted in Cali, Colombia reported no statistically significant differences in outcomes for its ivermectin (IVM) and placebo arms. A striking anomaly, however, was that certain adverse events (AEs) that are distinctive for the study’s high-dose IVM use occurred at nearly identical rates in its IVM and placebo arms. The backdrop for these indicators of IVM use in study controls was widespread sales of IVM for COVID-19 in the Cali area during the study period, with 1.6 IVM doses sold over the counter for each case of COVID-19. The study compounded these risks of contamination of the control arm with critical errors in blinding and segregation of IVM v. placebo doses. A labeling error substituted IVM for placebo doses of 38 patients. Also, 5% dextrose solution was used for several weeks as a placebo, easily distinguishable from bitter tasting IVM. Given widespread availability and sales of IVM in Cali, lapses in segregation and blinding of IVM and control doses, and IVM-characteristic AEs in controls, the integrity of the study’s control arm was violated. Some useful information can nevertheless be salvaged from outcomes of this study’s IVM treatment arm, which had 0 deaths and generally mild symptoms, with AEs typical for high-dose IVM (replicated in the control group) that were generally mild and transient.

Elderly people are the most sensitive and delicate part of society who must bear the major burn of disruptive social behavior of human being amidst the 2019 coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Our aim was (1) to find out the root of disruption of societal integrity and self-centeredness by analyzing spokes of HEXACO; 2) to delineate its possible relationship with the formation of Neuroticism and eventually Psychopathy, and 3) to search for the potential ways to get rid of this darkness. Human civilization is experiencing unique psychosocial problems through emerging COVID 19. Depression, panic buying, herd behavior, yellow journalism, “infodemic” spreading through social media, immense sufferings of marginalized people, children and elderly, a surge of addictive behavior, racism, domestic violence, rape, divorce, financial constraints, and stigmatization, all possibly stem from a constellation of different negative human behaviors which probably originate from negative deflection of components of HEXACO model of personality towards the genesis of the dark triad. COVID-19 and surge of the dark triad in form of Neuroticism, Narcissism and Machiavellianism are causing major mental health threat. Cultivations and practice of positive emotions and triumph of honesty, humility and humanity are utmost desirable to save Earth and its habitants from the cruel claws of this pandemic.

Published: March 2021

Purpose: most of the previous autonomy-supportive interventions conducted have been partially effective and used only web-based or face-to-face approach. In the current study, a combined web-based and face-to-face intervention for physical education (PE) teachers was tested to examine whether it would lead to significant changes in students’ self-reports of autonomy-supportive and controlling behaviours, psychological need satisfaction and frustration, and intrinsic motivation. Method: participants were 57 PE teachers and their 858 middle-school students. A randomized controlled design was adopted in which PE teachers and their students were assigned to the combined face-to-face and web-based, face-to-face, web-based or control group.Results: it was found that the combined intervention of web-based and face-to-face approach for PE teachers was effective in changing students’ perceptions of all the study variables. Conclusion: the current findings suggest that future autonomy-supportive interventions for PE teachers should aim to use combined interventions to gain the greatest intervention effects.
The diachronic account of attentional selectivity
Authors: Zivony Alon , Eimer Martin
Published: March 2021

Many models of attention assume that attentional selection takes place at a specific moment in time which demarcates the critical transition from pre-attentive to attentive processing of sensory input. We argue that this intuitively appealing “synchronic” account is not only inaccurate, but has led to substantial conceptual confusion. As an alternative, we offer a “diachronic” framework that describes attentional selectivity as a process that unfolds over time. Key to this view is the concept of attentional episodes, brief periods of intense attentional amplification of sensory representations that regulate access to working memory and response-related processes. We describe how attentional episodes are linked to earlier attentional mechanisms and to recurrent processing at the neural level. We review studies that establish the existence of attentional episodes, delineate the factors that determine if and when they are triggered, and discuss the costs associated with processing multiple events within a single episode. Finally, we argue that this framework offers new solutions to old problems in attention research that have never been resolved. It can provide a unified and conceptually coherent account of the network of cognitive and neural processes that produce the goal-directed selectivity in perceptual processing that is commonly referred to as “attention”.
An exercise in detachment: the Council of Europe and sexual minority asylum claims
Authors: Ferreira Nuno
Published: March 2021

This contribution explores how the Council of Europe (CoE) – and the European Court of Human Rights (Strasbourg Court), in particular – have addressed the increasing number and complexity of applications involving sexual minority asylum claims (SMACs). The law and policy produced by the CoE and the jurisprudence of the Strasbourg Court immensely influence how domestic authorities address SMACs, so it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of this framework. Indeed, the CoE has acquired a progressively significant role in the field of asylum. Although it does not have an asylum policy as such, several of its bodies have taken a noteworthy role in this field, such as the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT). The Strasbourg Court, above all, along with the now extinct European Commission of Human Rights, developed a strong line of jurisprudence that applies the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) to asylum claimants, despite the ECHR not possessing any norm explicitly related to asylum. More specifically, the Strasbourg Court was the first judicial instance at a European level to decide on cases relating to SMACs. It has so far dealt with at least 23 separate cases of asylum on grounds of sexual orientation. Many of these cases led to contentious and inadequate decisions, such as the 2014 judgment in M.E. v. Sweden, which gave legitimacy to the idea that applicants can be sent back to their countries of origin and asked to be ‘discreet’ about their sexuality. This approach reflects a worrying detachment from the realities of sexual minorities in many countries around the world and from their experiences when claiming international protection in Europe. This contribution thus critiques the CoE policy and Court’s jurisprudence in this field, whilst advancing policy and legal recommendations that can adequately address the socio-cultural and sexual diversity of asylum claimants from a queer intersectional perspective.
The Impact of the Virtual Programs in Promoting English Language Learning in the Context of Middle East College
Authors: Al-Ajmi Zainab
Published: March 2021

Over the last decades, individual and groups were extremely using face to face strategy to attain a native language and make advising associated with English language learning as there were a few applications of the online platforms incorporating in some enterprises, including pedagogic institutions. In this status quo, there is the rapid implementation of these programs, especially during the outbreak of Covid-19. Nowadays, many scholars affirmed the cooperation between virtual programs and language learning as they are overlapping and go hand in hand to cope with the immediate changes across the instructive institutions. This research will outline one of the fundamental topics, which is the role of an organizational platform to mitigate literacy and elevate the learner’s language learning level. Initially, it will entirely answer the core questions in this paper: What is the virtual platform and its significance in the education field? Then, it will demonstrate a critical understanding of the significance of the online platform to promote English language learning on some contemporary theories. Later, a questionnaire will be disseminated to a group of General Foundation Program (GFP) students to collect their standpoint towards learning the English language through a virtual program. It will ultimately showcase an example of online learning applications, an initial move to a hypothesis where the two e-learning types, such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom are introduced, including a concise conversation the traits and weaknesses of each. Adding to that, the student’s perspective towards these platforms in the context of English language learning.
Globalization and its Impact on Higher Education: The Case of Colleges of Technology in Oman
Authors: Albusaidi Saud
Published: March 2021

The main aim of this paper is to explore the impact of globalization processes on higher education institutions, with a particular focus on Colleges of Technology (CsoT) in Oman. To achieve this aim, this paper first defines and illustrates the concept of globalization and then draws upon the World Systems Theory and Dependency Theory to contextualize Oman in terms of its global position. Through the lens of these theories, the paper explores the consequences of implementing English as a medium of instruction (EMI) policy at CsoT. The findings reveal that English language is still considered a foreign language, yet EMI is implemented at higher education. Moreover, despite the challenges faced by students, some exhibited a positive attitude towards the implementation of the EMI policy. For instance, many students perceived learning and using English as a means of endowing them with high international status, referencing its utility in relation to global communication, development, and employment. Such an impact is arguably linked to semi-colonialization. A link is then made to the concept of memorization, which is historically associated with the Islamic culture of Oman. The paper explains how the memorization strategy could be misunderstood. The paper contends that memorization is the first step in learning and understanding, not a substitute. A link is also made to the EMI policy, in which the low levels of achievement among students at these colleges have driven them to memorize and does not reflect a lack of critical thinking skills.
