A glândula tireoide inicia seu desenvolvimento na terceira semana de gestação, descendo do forame cego até se posicionar abaixo da cartilagem tireóide, deixando para trás o trato tireoglosso, uma marca epitelial que se dissipa entre a 5ª e a 10ª semana de gestação. A persistência parcial do trato tireoglosso, combinada à permeabilidade do ducto e ao acúmulo de secreção epitelial, pode levar à formação de um tumor cístico denominado cisto do ducto tireoglosso. Este tipo de cisto, quando invadido por células malignas, especialmente carcinoma papilar, configura uma condição rara e complexa, representando apenas 1% dos casos. A compreensão dos mecanismos subjacentes à formação e progressão desta patologia é crucial para o desenvolvimento de estratégias eficazes de diagnóstico e tratamento. Neste trabalho, investigaremos os principais aspectos relacionados ao cisto invasivo do ducto tireoglosso com carcinoma papilar, abordando sua patogênese, apresentação clínica, métodos de diagnóstico, opções terapêuticas e prognóstico, com o objetivo de aprimorar o entendimento sobre essa condição incomum.
Unpacking the Roles of Reading-to-Write and Writing-Only Approaches: A Comparative Case Study of Thai Undergraduate Students
Authors: Tatsanajamsuk Pratabjai
Published: April 2024

This comparative case study explores the roles of reading-to-write and writing-only approaches on students’ L2 writing skills. Six third-year English major students from a Thai university, with diverse proficiency levels, participated in the study. Data from students’ writing samples, semi-structured interviews, and observations were analyzed through quantitative and qualitative methods. The two approaches contributed differently to enhancing students’ English writing skills. The writing-only approach significantly improved grammatical accuracy, while the reading-to-write approach fostered the use of more complex grammar structures, particularly in argumentative writing. In terms of coherence and cohesion, both approaches proved equally productive. Language proficiency, learning styles, task demands, essay types, topic familiarity, and time limitations also impacted the utilization of each approach. These insights suggest a blended approach to teaching writing at the university level, integrating both reading and writing elements. However, the findings also underscore the importance of explicit instruction in grammar and reading to support students in developing robust writing skills.

Authors: Kruawong Thana , Phoocharoensil Supakorn
Published: April 2024

The development of subject-specific word lists to assist EFL learners is becoming popular, as is the utilization of CLIL to teach English in academic areas of science. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of the instruction of English Science Textbooks Word Lists (ESTWL) and the CLIL approach on the Science Vocabulary Knowledge and Science Content Knowledge of Thai EFL students. A mixed-methods research design was employed to gather both quantitative and qualitative data using ESTWL-CLIL lesson plans, a Science Vocabulary Knowledge test, and a Science Content Knowledge test. All research instruments were validated by both content and language experts. The target groups were 3 levels of secondary school students studying at a large secondary school in Bangkok. The research findings were as follows: 1) the mean scores of the students in the three groups increased by a statistical significance of 0.05 for both vocabulary knowledge and science content knowledge after the implementation of the intervention, and 2) the qualitative results indicated that all students perceived the instruction of ESTWL and the CLIL approach to be positive. The study suggested a vocabulary pedagogy for science and language teachers for use in CLIL environments.
Thai School Directors’ Lived Experiences and Attitudes Towards Global Englishes: Do They Impact Hiring Foreign National Teachers?
Authors: Noknoi Supawadee , Prabjandee Denchai
Published: April 2024

Research on language attitudes towards Global Englishes in many contexts has focused on teachers and learners. However, limited research has paid attention to school directors even though they are in a vital position to make changes at the school. This study explored the school director’s lived experiences, attitudes toward Global Englishes, and how their attitudes impact hiring foreign national teachers. Utilizing a narrative inquiry design, three school directors from different school sizes, levels, and types were interviewed multiple times per person to ensure data saturation. The findings showed that all school directors demonstrated standard language and native speakerism ideologies formed earlier in their schooling experiences, especially in English classes. Regardless of positive or negative English learning experiences, they developed an entrenched belief that English should be taught by ‘native speakers.’ Yet, the decision to hire foreign national teachers was not simply influenced by their lived experiences and attitudes toward Global Englishes. Instead, it was affected by the school budget, the level of students, and parents’ expectations. Above all, one troubled concern materialized – hiring someone who looked ‘native.’ Implications were discussed moving forward when considering implementing the Global Englishes paradigm.

Authors: Mohamed Hatem Abdulgabbar , Nasser Ramzi Naim , Doumit Jacqueline
Published: April 2024

The objective of this study is to assesses the knowledge of physicians about basic facts of Ramadan and their ability to give health guidance for diabetic patients to people who are funding and changing their wishing to fast during Ramadan.  We studied the knowledge of physicians on Ramadan fasting as a religious duty and impact of some social practices on the fasting diabetic patients.  The sample included all the non-Muslim physicians working in different hospitals and health care centers in Najran. Data was collected over a period of one month. This was a quasi-experimental study where non-Muslim physicians were questioned on their knowledge and advice they give to diabetic patients and professional practice of physicians, pre and post a focus group intervention.  There were 52 non-Muslim physicians most of the respondents (55.8%) see more than five diabetic patients per week in Ramadan, who had some enquires relevant to Ramadan fasting. Major source of information on Ramadan fasting was through personal communication with Muslim colleagues.  Factors that impair diabetic control include cessation of medications, self-modification of dose, increase in consumption of sugar and increased physical activity. We conclude that physicians in Saudi Arabia lack basic religious knowledge on Ramadan that influences health and disease. By simple measures such as distributing written teaching materials or focused group discussions, we can empower their abilities to provide efficient advice to diabetic patients wishing to observe Ramadan fasting.
History and the Problem of Dead Identity: Theorising the Revival of Zulu’s Extinct Culture in Zakes Mda’s the Zulus of New York
Authors: Abu Jweid Abdalhadi Nimer Abdalqader , Al-Khamisi Fatima A.
Published: April 2024

This article attempts to explore history as a medium of reviving South African extinct identity in Zakes Mda’s The Zulus of New York. The study theorises the impetus of rejuvenating such identity based on Mda’s description of the Zulu’s potential to perform their native socio-cultural traditions despite the colonial hegemony which limits their power to maintain their identity. It argues that this literary tendency is largely rooted in the peculiar theoretical discourse on South African subaltern and internally colonised identity vis-à-vis the West, namely the USA and Britain; a notion that tends to perpetuate Zulu’s native and pre-colonial vernacular discourses. Within this narrative, the Zulu’s nativism and the South African ethnicity are regarded as non-colonial powers since the indigenous tribes allegedly suffered under Western ruling nationalities in the annexed territories. Therefore, the study discovers the problematic implications of such an exclusive focus on the postcolonial perspective; and it questions the theoretical conception of subordination as an ‘internal colony’, which is decolonised by the Zulu. The study proposes arguments for the consideration of American and British domination as variant models of Western hegemony, and it emphasises the need for examining Zuluophone cultures when theorising Zulu postcolonial identity. It demonstrates how the Zulu minority may wage this metapolitical resistance using individual rights to challenge Western hegemony as an illiberal entity, and thus Zulu de-constitutes colonialism to restore indigenous demotic and territorial boundaries. Thus, indigenous Zulu people resist by seeking to constitutionally entrench their identity as the rightful ‘subject of justice.
Integration and Enabling: Macao's Social Policy Shift during Post-Pandemic Era
Authors: Hu Jierong , Peng Yanchong , Lao Ka U
Published: April 2024

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a great impact on the economies of various countries, and social policies are also facing a period of major adjustment opportunities. According to people's expectations, it is necessary to re-examine the supply mechanism of social welfare through social policy innovation. As a result of the epidemic, Macao's economic fluctuations are exacerbated and the government's fiscal revenue has declined. This has led to a certain degree of vulnerability in the social welfare system dominated by government financial investment, which directly affects the stability and sustainability of Macao's social policy system. Based on the challenges and countermeasures of the epidemic in Macao, this paper proposes that it is necessary to further integrate existing social policies, build a social safety net, strengthen investment in human capital, enhance residents' ability to resist social risks in pursuit of welfare, promote economic development through social policy adjustment to balance government-market-individual welfare responsibilities, establish sustainable social policies, and push for high-quality social development.

Authors: Seyed Alitabar Seyed Hadi
Published: April 2024

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of work-life balance training on improving job motivation among employees, utilizing a controlled experimental design to assess changes over time and sustainment of these changes post-intervention. A total of 40 participants were divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received work-life balance training, while the control group did not. Job motivation was measured for both groups at three time points: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up (three months post-intervention), using standardized questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with repeated measurements, followed by Bonferroni Post-Hoc tests, were employed to analyze the data. The experimental group showed a significant increase in job motivation from the pre-test (M=92.40, SD=20.10) to the post-test (M=110.73, SD=22.15), which was sustained at the follow-up (M=110.09, SD=22.49). In contrast, the control group's job motivation scores remained stable and showed no significant improvement. ANOVA results confirmed significant effects of time, group, and time × group interaction on job motivation, indicating the positive impact of the work-life balance training. Work-life balance training significantly improves job motivation among employees, with effects that are maintained over a medium-term period. This suggests that such interventions can be an effective strategy for organizations looking to enhance employee well-being and job motivation.

Authors: Rostami Mehdi
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to explore the predictive relationships between resilience, thought control, and sexual satisfaction among adults in romantic relationships. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 450 participants through validated scales measuring sexual satisfaction (Index of Sexual Satisfaction), resilience (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale), and thought control (Thought Control Questionnaire). Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using SPSS-27 to examine the predictive value of resilience and thought control on sexual satisfaction. The regression analysis revealed that both resilience (β = 0.29, p < 0.01) and thought control (β = 0.30, p < 0.01) significantly predicted sexual satisfaction, accounting for 49% of the variance in sexual satisfaction scores. The findings suggest a substantial relationship between these psychological constructs and sexual satisfaction. The study underscores the importance of resilience and thought control as significant predictors of sexual satisfaction. These findings highlight the need for incorporating psychological resilience and cognitive strategies into interventions aimed at enhancing sexual well-being in intimate relationships.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of family relationships, including cohesion, expressiveness, and conflicts, on body image satisfaction among adults. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, 390 participants completed the Body Image Satisfaction Scale (BISS) and the Family Environment Scale (FES). Descriptive statistics and linear regression analyses were conducted using SPSS-26 to examine the predictive power of family relationship variables on body image satisfaction. The regression model explained 53% of the variance in body image satisfaction, indicating that family cohesion, expressiveness, and conflicts significantly predict body image satisfaction. Specifically, higher levels of family cohesion and expressiveness were associated with better body image satisfaction, whereas family conflicts were linked to lower satisfaction. The study underscores the significant impact of family dynamics on body image satisfaction, highlighting the importance of nurturing family environments in promoting positive body image perceptions.

Enhancing Social Responsiveness in Autism: The Impact of Art Therapy
Authors: Yao Cheng , Jun Hu , Dai Guang-Song
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of art therapy in enhancing social responsiveness among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Given the challenges faced by individuals with ASD in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors, art therapy has been proposed as a promising therapeutic intervention to ameliorate these challenges. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) design was employed, involving 40 participants with ASD, aged between 8 and 16 years. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group that received a structured art therapy program or a control group that received no intervention. The art therapy program consisted of 10 sessions, each lasting 75 minutes, designed to encourage social interaction, emotional expression, and the development of social skills. The Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition (SRS-2), was administered at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at a three-month follow-up to assess changes in social responsiveness. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measurements indicated a significant improvement in social responsiveness scores for the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.01). The Bonferroni post-hoc test revealed significant improvements in social responsiveness from baseline to post-test and follow-up in the experimental group, with no significant difference observed between post-test and follow-up scores, indicating the sustainability of the intervention's effects. The findings suggest that art therapy is an effective intervention for enhancing social responsiveness among individuals with ASD. The structured art therapy program provided a beneficial impact on participants' social skills and behaviors, with improvements sustained over the three-month follow-up period. This study contributes to the evidence base supporting the use of art therapy in therapeutic interventions for individuals with ASD, highlighting its potential to improve social interaction and communication skills.

ماهية النفقة الأسرية وشروط استحقاقها في الفقه الإسلامي
Authors: Rouamba Saada , Peşe Ahmet Muhammet
Published: April 2024

في الفقه الإسلامي، تعتبر النفقة إحدى آثار عقد النكاح. وكون النفقة من آثار عقد النكاح يعني به أن الزوج ملزم بدفع النفقة لزوجته طالما استمر الزواج، دون الحاجة إلى اتفاق بينهما. الطرف المسؤول عن النفقة هو الزوج. صاحب الحق هو الزوجة. ولا يتغير هذا الحكم إذا كان الزوج فقيرا أو غائبا أو مريضا أو إذا كانت الزوجة غنية. لكي تحافظ الزوجة على حياتها، من الضروري قضاء احتياجات الطعام والشراب والملبس والمسكن. إن الوضع الاقتصادي للزوج والزوجة وعادات المجتمع الذي يعيشان فيه عوامل حاسمة في مقدار النفقة. المرأة ليست مسؤولة قانونا عن القيام بالأعمال المنزلية. لهذا السبب، يعتبر من الضروري للزوج أن يوظف خادمة لزوجته إذا توفرت الشروط اللازمة. حق المرأة في النفقة مرهون بكون عقد النكاح صحيحا ولا تتهرب من البقاء مع زوجها. إذا لم يف الزوج بواجبه، فيجوز للزوجة التقدم للمحكمة والمطالبة بحقها. في حالة تغيب الزوج دون ترك أي ممتلكات هناك خلاف حول هل القاضي يستطيع التمييز بين الزوج والزوجة
