Why States Need to Build Good ESG Reputations? A Comparative Study of COVID-19 Responses in South Korea and China
Authors:   Research Center for East Asian Studies, Chang Ki Young
Published: March 2023

Given that environmental, social and governance (ESG) consid erations are a major topic in the investment industry, many companies have attempted to manage these three factors in their operations, supply chain management, and investments. This paper examines why states need to build a reputation for globally upholding excellence in ESG standards and what the benefits of ESG investing are for states with a specific focus on the impact of the different COVID-19 management models between South Korea and China on foreign support for their desired policy outcomes.
Electrical and optical properties of the WOx thin films, prepared by magnetron sputtering, and analysis of their highest value
Authors: Dybała Julia , Mazur Michał
Published: March 2023

In this article, optical and electrical properties of tungsten oxide thin films, prepared by magnetron sputtering in the atmosphere of various oxygen content, were analysed. Tungsten oxide is a material, which is widely used in modern applications such as smart windows, anti-steam mirrors, and gas sensors. Five sets of tungsten oxide thin films were deposited by magnetron sputtering in the mixed argon-oxygen atmosphere composed of various content of reactive gas, i.e., from 5% to 15%. In each case, other deposition process parameters were the same. The thickness of the thin films was ca. 160 nm and it was measured with the optical profilometer. It was noticed that along with the increase in the proportion of reactive gas in the process, thin film samples changed their colour from metallic, through navy blue to blue and simultaneously they became increasingly transparent. Measurements of electrical properties, made using the four-point probe and optical properties, performed with the aid of a spectrophotometer showed that increasing the proportion of oxygen in the process increased the average transmission in the visible wavelength range and the resistivity of the prepared WOx thin films. In the article, the Figure of Merit (FoM) coefficients are also presented, which determine the quality of the thin film samples. It was shown that the highest value of the FoM was observed for WOx thin film characterised by a relatively high average transmission in the visible wavelength range and low value of resistivity. The performed measurements showed that the gas atmosphere during magnetron sputtering process leads to the tailoring of the optical and electrical properties of tungsten oxide thin films, which in turn makes it possible to design and apply such thin film coatings in transparent electronics. Keywords: magnetron sputtering, thin films, tungsten oxide, optical and electrical properties
A Case of Rheumatic Heart Disease Complicated by Acute Infective Endocarditis and Valve Leaflet Perforation
Authors: Sun Minghui , Li Yuewei , Zhao Shibo
Published: March 2023

Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD), abbreviated as rheumatic heart disease, is a heart disease caused by repeated attacks or further deterioration of Acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF), which is mostly caused by valve damage (Zhang P & Wang P., 2021). The production of ARF is the result of a series of autoimmune reactions by group A streptococci that invade the pharynx of a susceptible host. Clinically, rheumatic heart disease mostly involves valves, which can cause patients to have a variety of manifestations such as incomplete valve closure or stenosis, structural remodeling of the heart, etc. If patients do not seek medical attention in time to delay the best time for treatment, they often develop acute heart failure, malignant arrhythmias and other acute complications of the cardiovascular system in the later stages of the disease. Clinically, rheumatic heart disease complicated by infective endocarditis is not common, and valve leaflet perforation due to severe infection is even rarer! A case of acute infective endocarditis complicated by atypical rheumatic heart disease and simultaneous valve leaflet perforation in our hospital is reviewed and reported below.
On the Role of Emotion in the Pathogenesis and Clinical Treatment and Rehabilitation of Cancer
Authors: Song Wutong
Published: March 2023

Based on the understanding of the causes of disease in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, the pathogenesis of disease is mainly divided into two aspects: internal injury and external sensation. However, the strength of the body’s positive qi determines whether the disease is invaded by the six external sensations and therefore emphasizes the dominant role of internal causes in the pathogenesis. Cancer is a malignant disease caused by the dysfunction of the internal organs of the body. It is not caused by external evil, but by the abnormal internal growth of the body. By analysing the important influence of emotions in the process of cancer development, it is suggested that in the clinical treatment and rehabilitation of cancer, focusing on the regulation of emotions can help improve the internal environment of the patient’s body as a whole and promote the recovery of cancer.

Language and Democracy in Nigeria: A Stylistic Study of Late President Umar Musa Yar’adua’s Inaugural Speech of May 29, 2007
Authors: Oladayo Murana Muniru
Published: March 2023

Language is central to the activities of politics as it is employed by politicians throughout the world to gain, use, delegate and retain power. In the inauguration of a new president, a requisite component of the rites is the delivery of address marking the formal beginning of a new government. Traditionally, it is a speech marked by its persuasive and commission orientations besides its request for solidarity. This paper attempts a stylistic analysis of President Musa Yar’adua’s inaugural speech of May 29, 2007 for its peculiar appeal at the time of delivery and the trust it gained though the speaker died during his tenure of office. The analysis covers the various levels of stylistic description to establish the choices that account for the effectiveness of the address. It finds that the speech is typical in its promise of good leadership and appeal for support. It identifies the devices of style in the speech to include purposeful capitalization, sustained rhythmic flow, complex verbal group, flexible sentence types, apt lexical and syntactic choices, dislocation and vocative. The paper concludes that the unity of purpose which characterizes the address is a product of the apt choices made and its overall quality is marked by tactfulness. It thus recommends that the kind of felicitous oratorical techniques used in the speech translates to administrative ingenuity needed for salvaging Nigeria from poverty, political cabals, disease and underdevelopment by Nigerian presidents henceforth.

Authors: K.G Enwonwu , N Ugwunna , R Ochor , U Odume , M John , P Oganya , I Ogbodo , B. Maduka
Published: March 2023

Background: There seems to be a rapidly growing trend of consumers’ utilization of information technology (IT) systems in Nigeria. Ease of internet access via smartphones has made information on various subjects including health readily available to many Nigerians. About 50.2% of Nigerians use the internet. It has become a popular health intervention tool because of its easy access on a variety of devices (laptops, mobile phones, tablets) and is now a common resource to disseminate and find health information. Therefore, the need to obtain such data using this community-based survey to assess the feasibility of exploiting the full potential of ICT to disseminate health information and improve healthcare delivery in Nigeria, given the seemingly rising consumer uptake of internet and mobile electronic technology is important. Methodology: This community-based cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among residents of Ogui New Layout, Enugu, Enugu state, Nigeria to assess knowledge of digital technology, its access and use among its residents to enhance dissemination of health information. All those living in the area at the time of study were included, excluding those less than 15yrs giving a total of 487 participants using multistage sampling method. Data was collected using structured self-administered questionnaire adapted from similar work done among New York state residents. Results: Health information seeking via digital technology was found to be highest among people aged 15-24 years and people who attained tertiary level of education. Conclusion: Given high access to ICT and utilization of its features as established in this work among our respondents for both health and non-health related activities, digital channels can be an effective means of facilitating healthcare and health promotion interventions among the people.

ACUTE CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT IN COVID-19
Authors: Щербак Сергей Григорьевич , Вологжанин Дмитрий Александрович , Камилова Татьяна Аскаровна , Голота Александр Сергеевич
Published: March 2023

Чаще всего COVID-19 проявляется как респираторное заболевание, однако растущий массив клинических данных показывает, что неврологические симптомы и осложнения вносят значительный вклад в клинический спектр заболевания, особенно у пациентов с тяжелым течением заболевания. Воздействие на общественное здоровье отдаленных (или даже пожизненных) последствий может быть намного больше, чем острые проявления инфекции SARS-CoV-2. Широкий спектр неврологических проявлений COVID-19 включает в себя острые нарушения мозгового кровообращения, такие как ишемический инсульт, геморрагический инсульт и церебральный венозный тромбоз, у относительно молодых и ранее здоровых пациентов. COVID-19-ассоциированные острые нарушения мозгового кровообращения связаны с гиперкоагуляционными и протромботическими состояниями. Неврологические симптомы и осложнения COVID-19 не обязательно требуют прямого инфицирования структур центральной нервной системы, и могут возникать вторично по отношению к тяжелой системной реакции в ответ на инфекцию SARS-CoV-2 вне нервной системы. Нейротоксичность инфекции SARS-CoV-2 может быть вторичной по отношению к иммуноопосредованному патогенезу и дисфункции коагуляции. Для определения оптимальных стратегий предотвращения долгосрочных инвалидизирующих последствий COVID-19 и обоснования терапевтического выбора необходимы изучение патофизиологических процессов и клинические испытания.

Most commonly, COVID-19 presents as a respiratory disease, but a growing body of clinical evidence shows that neurological symptoms and complications make a significant contribution to the clinical spectrum of the disease. The public health impact of long - term (or even life - long) consequences of the disease may be much greater than the acute manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The wide range of neurological manifestations of COVID-19 includes acute cerebrovascular events such as ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and cerebral venous thrombosis in relatively young and previously healthy patients. COVID-19-associated acute cerebrovascular accidents are related with hypercoagulable and prothrombotic conditions. Neurological symptoms and complications of COVID-19 do not necessarily require direct infection of structures in the central nervous system, but may occur secondary to a severe systemic reaction to SARS-CoV-2 infection outside the nervous system. The neurotoxicity of SARS-CoV-2 infection may be secondary to immune - mediated pathogenesis and coagulation dysfunction. To identify the optimal strategies to prevent the long - term disabling consequences of COVID-19 and substantiate the therapeutic choice, it is necessary to study the pathophysiological processes and conduct clinical trials.

Published: March 2023

Introdução: No contexto do cuidado e dos desafios presentes no deslocamento da assistência a pessoas que vivem com o vírus da imunodeficiência humana (PVHIV) para a Atenção Primária à Saúde, objetos, ações e sentidos estão envolvidos nas relações desenvolvidas neste cenário de práticas. Objetivo: Analisar diferentes relações de cuidado no desenvolvimento do sucesso prático e os impasses na atenção a essa população, nesse contexto. Métodos: Observação participante e entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais de saúde e pacientes em uma Clínica de Família no município do Rio de Janeiro, envolvendo o conceito de “praticalidades” de Annemarie Mol, que explora os arranjos operacionais, atitudinais e relacionais observados da perspectiva da lógica do cuidado e da lógica da escolha. Na lógica do cuidado, as “praticalidades” atuam como mediadores que buscam superar limites morais, técnicos e sociais, sem predeterminar ou transferir a responsabilidade dos resultados, como na lógica da escolha. Resultados: As questões envolvidas no arranjo assistencial às PVHIV na Atenção Primária à Saúde podem envolver barreiras ao acesso e adesão ao tratamento relacionadas ao sigilo, mas também podem viabilizar oportunidades de aprofundamento dessas questões. Conclusões: Diferentes elementos podem ser mediadores de novas relações de cuidado para com as pessoas que vivem com o HIV.

The Second to Fourth Digit Ratio in the Patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Authors: GÖNÜLAL Melis , ALTINER Didem , ÖZTÜRK Aylin , TEKER Kenan , DOĞAN Sinan , TURKMEN Meltem
Published: March 2023

Aim: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, recurrent, and inflammatory skin disease involving the hair follicles and sweat glands. Based on the link between androgens and the second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) and also the connection between sex hormones and HS, it can be stated that there is an association between HS and the 2D:4D ratio. Based on this hypothesis, the present study investigated the relationships between HS, the 2D:4D ratio, and sex hormones. Materials and methods: Total testosterone and dehidroepiandrosteron-sulfate (DHEA-S) levels were measured in both male and female cases and controls. Luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), LH/FSH ratio, estradiol, progesterone, and prolactin levels were analyzed in only female cases and controls. The 2D:4D ratio was calculated by dividing the second finger's length by the fourth finger's length. Results: One hundred eight patients were diagnosed with HS. Eighty of these patients (39 female) were enrolled and constituted the study group. The control group consisted of 70 healthy participants (35 female). There were significant associations between weight, body mass index, smoking status, duration of smoking, and the length of left 2D and left 4D in both female cases and controls. We also found significant relationships between body mass index, smoking status, duration of smoking, and total testosterone in male cases and controls. In female cases, we determined significant correlations between the length of the DHEA-S and 2D right, 4D right and 2D left. In male patients there were significant associations between age of disease onset and right 2D:4D, age of disease onset and left 2D:4D, disease duration and right 4D length, disease duration and left 2D length, DHEA-S and right 4D length, DHEA-S and left 2D length. Conclusion: We suggest that our research is a valuable contribution to the literature since it is the first study assessing the relationships between the 2D:4D ratio, HS and circulating hormone levels. However, further prospective studies, including larger patient samples, are required to identify relationships between the 2D:4D ratio and HS.
(In)equality at the workplace? Differences in occupational safety and health measures during the Covid-19 pandemic and related employee health
Authors: Tisch Anita , Meyer Sophie-Charlotte , Sommer Sabine , Schröder Carsten
Published: March 2023

Based on data from a supplementary survey of the German Socio-Economic Panel on the Covid-19 pandemic (SOEP-CoV), this article examines differences in the implementation of various person-related and organizational occupational safety and health measures during the Covid-19 pandemic and their relationship to individual health. We first provide a brief outline of social inequalities in workplace-related health risks before and during the pandemic and describe the implementation of different occupational health and infection protection measures during the pandemic. We argue that the infection and occupational health measures were not only successful in mitigating the risk of infection, but that their compliance may also contribute to a safety climate in the workplace, which in turn may be associated with better employee health. Accordingly, the analyses show that the mere number of organizational or person-related measures taken is not directly related to health, but perceived compliance with the measures significantly correlates with employee health (satisfaction). The OLS results also reveal social stratification in the occupational safety and health measures taken.
Differences in political trust between migrants and non-migrants in pandemic times
Authors: Weber Florian , Gentile Raffaela , Reichelt Hanna , Horr Andreas , Taraszow Tatjana , Springer Angelina
Published: March 2023

Political trust is one aspect that might be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the strict government-implemented measures to fight the virus. Previous studies report an increase in political trust at the onset of the pandemic in several European countries, followed by a marginal decline over the further course of the pandemic. However, it is unclear how political trust changes among first and second generation migrants in Germany compared to natives throughout the pandemic. To address this question, we use data from the adult cohort of the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) at one measurement point before, and two during the pandemic. Consistent with previous studies, our data show that pre-pandemic, political trust is higher among first generation migrants than among second generation migrants and natives. We examine how these previous differences evolve throughout the pandemic. Our results indicate that political trust increases significantly only for natives and second generation migrants, but not for first generation migrants at the beginning of the pandemic. Later in the first year of the pandemic, political trust is higher than pre-pandemic for all groups. Neither vulnerabilities nor sociodemographic control variables can explain the differences between the groups.

The Triumph and Tragedy of Janusz Korczak
Authors: Hartblay Scott ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2023

The magnificence and gift of Janusz Korczak has not been totally forgotten. Small groups throughout the world are still his devotees. But the word must be spread. The legacy that he left behind must be cultivated so that more people can be reached. Poland, the land that he loved, should try to become the model for the world of the progressive society that Korczak envisioned. Korczak, and all that he represents, is one of the country’s most valuable resources. Teachers need to be taught to value children in the Korczak way. Intolerance and anti-Semitism on Polish soil must be met with the courage of Korczak and done away with. The history of the hundreds of years of Jewish culture, contributions and Jewish life in Poland needs to be comprehensively taught and become a standard part of the school curriculum.
Dialogue among Civilizations: Culture and Identity
Authors: Jalali Ahmad ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2023

After some conceptual elaboration on the topic of the Dialogue among Civilizations, this article will give some examples of UNESCO’s contribution in this domain. DAC is intrinsically bound to the questions of identity and otherness through the role culture and civilization play in composing our identity. We forge our own identity through our culture; those who share this identity are insiders, and those who do not are outsiders. Some understandings of identity conclude in a lack of appreciation for the Others’ identity, which is necessary to being a genuine partner in dialogue. At one extreme personal identity is not conceived as being subject to any changes during an individual’s lifetime; while at the other extreme, post-modernism perceives a person or a social group simply as a node in a network of relations. These definitions both suffer from the lack of a historical dimension and are based on a unitary conception of identity. The solution, as the reality of history also demonstrates, comes with a pluralistic view of identity, which not only solves some theoretical issues but also forms the only framework within which the possibility of dialogue can be assured. The wonderful consequence will then be that if absolute identity does not exist, neither can absolute otherness. We should then search for the shared roots between different cultures. It was a common scientific and philosophical culture, for example, that united Avicenna in Iran with St. Thomas Aquinas in the West; a culture going back to the Greek and Hellenistic thinkers. Globality should be understood as a visionary search for the discovery of the common roots of different cultures, rather than the dominance of any one particular culture or value system. The ethnocentric concept of culture and history can then be overcome. A genuine dialogue comes with the soul’s particular willingness to “convert” itself, to expose and risk one’s own ideas and positions. It brings us the possibility of overcoming trans-cultural dissensus on whether a particular practice violates one or another human right. And as we know from Averroes, the human soul comes from a unified universal soul. Finally, there is an inter-conceptual linkage among cultural diversity, tangible and intangible cultural heritage, sustainable development, human rights and cultural rights. UNESCO, by preserving and protecting cultural heritage, safeguarding cultural diversity, and promoting dialogue among cultures and civilizations, is contributing to its axiomatic constitutional goals, namely the construction of the defenses of peace in the minds of people through moral and intellectual solidarity.
With What Is Twentieth-Century Philosophy Entering into the Twenty First Century?
Authors: Wendland Zbigniew ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2023

The topic of the presented study consists of prominent issues characterizing philosophy during the period of its transition from the philosophy of the twentieth century to that of the twenty first century; reflections on those questions have been based upon a number of essential premises. Both components can be summarized in the following points: (1) the title of the article inquires about the most important achievements of twentieth-century philosophy, which comprise the eventual heritage bequeathed to the philosophy of the twenty first century; (2) speaking about the accomplishments of philosophy the author has in mind the fulfillment of critical-demystification tasks, which consist of branding evil, disclosing illusions, dispelling myths and revealing untruth (appearances), etc.; (3) the preparation of answers to the titular question was based on the premise, which comprised a point of departure and the leitmotif of the whole article, maintaining that the achievements of twentieth-century philosophy and the legacy to be utilized by the philosophy of the following century within the above-mentioned range, consists primarily of the problems of being, reason and human. The author formulates a thesis claiming that twentieth-century philosophy possesses three characteristic features, namely: a) anti-metaphysical attitude, b) anti-rationalism and c) anti-humanism. The above mentioned philosophical problems together with the most frequently accepted manners of thinking about them—within the framework of assorted philosophical trends—are excellent examples of the critical function fulfilled by philosophy, which, apparently, will constitute the most valuable cultural potential also in the century which has just started.
Childhood of Human Dignity
Authors: Bauman Zygmunt ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2023

At no other time has the keen search for common humanity, and the practice that follows such an assumption, been as urgent and imperative as it is now. In the era of globalization, the cause and the politics of shared humanity face the most fateful among the many fateful steps they have taken in their long history. For all its flaws and inadequacies, Korczak’s practice of engaged conversation of partners who in the course of talking and listening help each other into equality may be seen, after the years, as a laboratory in which the roads to humanity had been experimented with, researched, and mapped. To say that Korczak added a few (even a crucial few) weapons to our pedagogical armoury while recommending to decommission some others means to grossly underestimate the significance of his legacy. Korczak wished to protect children’s dignity not for the sake of the happy childhood alone, but also for the sake of those adults in whom children would eventually turn. Children’s dignity is the childhood of human dignity. Human dignity has no other childhood and nowhere else to take root, grow and self-assert.

Mpox Virus in Pregnancy, the Placenta, and Newborn
Authors: Schwartz David A. , Ha Sandy , Dashraath Pradip , Baud David , Pittman Phillip R. , Adams Waldorf Kristina M.
Published: March 2023

Context.—

Before its eradication, the smallpox virus was a significant cause of poor obstetric outcomes, including maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The mpox (monkeypox) virus is now the most pathogenic member of the Orthopoxvirus genus infecting humans. The 2022 global mpox outbreak has focused attention on its potential effects during pregnancy.

Objective.—

To understand the comparative effects of different poxvirus infections on pregnancy, including mpox virus, variola virus, vaccinia virus, and cowpox virus. The impact on the pregnant individual, fetus, and placenta will be examined, with particular attention to the occurrence of intrauterine vertical transmission and congenital infection.

Data Sources.—

The data are obtained from the authors' cases and from various published sources, including early historical information and contemporary publications.

Conclusions.—

Smallpox caused maternal and perinatal death, with numerous cases reported of intrauterine transmission. In endemic African countries, mpox has also affected pregnant individuals, with up to a 75% perinatal case fatality rate. Since the start of the 2022 mpox outbreak, increasing numbers of pregnant women have been infected with the virus. A detailed description is given of the congenital mpox syndrome in a stillborn fetus, resulting from maternal-fetal transmission and placental infection, and the potential mechanisms of intrauterine infection are discussed. Other poxviruses, notably vaccinia virus and, in 1 case, cowpox virus, can also cause perinatal infection. Based on the historical evidence of poxvirus infections, mpox remains a threat to the pregnant population, and it can be expected that additional cases will occur in the future.

The extractive activity is unsustainable, as evidenced by the impacts it generates in the strategic ecosystems of the city of Bogotá and its population. This, added to the economic and political interests of the different actors, causes controversies and exacerbates environmental problems. For these reasons, it is necessary to create environmental awareness in search of sustainability to recognize cultural diversity and, with it, give way to creating new spaces based on the integrity and dignity of people and other living beings. This manuscript presents a series of proposals and alternatives for reconfiguring the city from a respectful dimension of diversity to achieve sustainable growth that guarantees the quality of life of all its inhabitants.

Selain instrumen yang cocok untuk distribusi pendapatan. Saat ini dalam perekonomian, masalah yang paling signifikan adalah distribusi pendapatan. Dimana yang kaya semakin kaya dan yang miskin semakin miskin. Ketika pajak menjadi alat untuk mengurangi ketimpangan pendapatan, baik yang berdampak pada kesejahteraan masyarakat maupun tidak, pemerintah menjalankan berbagai program dan paket stimulus, termasuk perpajakan. Beberapa kebijakan di sektor perpajakan antara lain berupa pemberian insentif bagi pekerja di sektor yang terdampak langsung oleh pandemi melalui fasilitas pajak DTP PPh 21, penurunan tarif PPh Badan, pembebasan PPh 22 Impor, pembebasan pajak impor alat kesehatan dan vaksin.

Oleh karena itu, untuk meningkatkan daya saing ekonomi melalui inovasi, perlu adanya dukungan dari berbagai pihak, termasuk pemerintah, institusi pendidikan, sektor swasta, dan masyarakat umum. Pemerintah perlu menciptakan kebijakan yang mendukung pengembangan inovasi, meningkatkan akses terhadap sumber daya, serta meningkatkan dukungan untuk riset dan pengembangan. Institusi pendidikan perlu mempersiapkan tenaga kerja yang memiliki keterampilan dan pengetahuan untuk mengembangkan inovasi. Sektor swasta perlu berinvestasi dalam riset dan pengembangan serta memperhatikan inovasi sebagai strategi bisnis.

Authors: Imam Junaris
Published: March 2023

Penelitian ini bertolak dari fenomena yang terjadi pada pesantren yang masih belum kuat mengembangkan budaya literasi dalam menciptakan generasi yang unggu melalui kepemimpinan pendidikan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui bentuk budaya literasi bagi santri, fasilitasi literasi bagi santri dan dampak budaya literasi bagi santri di pondok pesantren Sirojut Tholibin Plosokandang.  Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah metode ceramah, metode tanya jawab, dan metode diskusi. Gerakan literasi berbasis pondok dilaksanakan dalam tiga tahap yakni tahap pembiasaan, tahap pengembangan, dan tahap pembelajaraan. Bentuk kegiatan pengembangan gerakan literasi berbasis pondok pesantren, yaitu (1) Program Tahfidzul Qur’an, (2) kajian kitab kuning, (3) kegiatan muhadarah, dan (4) kegiatan jurnalistik.  Literasi berbasis pondok pesantren adalah upaya menyeluruh yang melibatkan semua warga pondok (kyau, ustad, ustadzah, pengurus, santri, orang tua/wali murid) dan masyarakat. Pelaksanaan gerakan literasi diwujudkan melalui tiga tahap, yaitu pembiasaan, pengembangan, dan pembelajaran. ketiga tahapan dilaksanakan secara bertahap sehingga prosesnya dapat berjalan sebagaimana mestinya.  Gerakan literasi yang ditawarkan untuk lingkungan pondok juga menyesuaikan dengan kebutuhan dan tujuan yang ingin dicapai. Santri yang belajar di pondok pesantren Sirojut Tholibin diajarkan literasi dengan sistem yang unik supaya bisa mempersiapkan diri dalam kehidupan masyarakat kelak, seperti khitobah, kajian kitab kuning, syawir, muhafadzoh, dan mutola’ah. Kehidupan bermasyarakat disini menjadi penting untuk digaris bawahi, sebab santri akan menjadi tumpuan dan menjadi tokoh pembangunan yang senantiasa berguna dan digunakan dalam kehidupan sosial. Hal itu dapat tercermin ketika seorang santri memimpin kegiatan keagamaan, menjadi pembawa acara suatu kegiatan, bahkan tidak jarang berhubungan dengan hal-hal lain. seolah hal tersebut menjawab keraguan yang ada dimasyrakat, bahwa seorang santri yang mondok bisa segalanya. Berbagai kegiatan yang dapat diimplementasikan di atas diharapkan dapat membuat para santri memiliki kemampuan menyaring informasi sehingga mampu menjadi insan kamil yang berilmu dan berakhlakul karimah.
