Published: September 2024

The need for understanding the effects of ethnocultural factors on students' academic achievements becomes more important as diversity and inclusion in education as a whole are being more widely accepted. This underlines the significance of identifying and implementing local and indigenous knowledge systems into the teaching of science, which becomes particularly essential in countries like the Philippines that have a varied ethnic population. This study employed meta-analysis to explore the impact of integrating ethnocultural education on students' achievements in the field of science. PRISMA flow diagram was used in the screening and selection of the studies. By means of inclusion criteria, the data analysis stage covered seven (7) Philippine-based empirical studies, which were carefully chosen through purposive sampling from online databases and registries. With the use of Cohen’s d effect size, the magnitude and significance of the experimental effect of ethnocultural education on students’ achievement in science of the included studies were determined. The result gives an effect size for most of the studies under the large effect category (0.908 - 2.172). The mean effect size is 1.462, which indicates that the findings of the studies have practical significance. The forest plot visually presents the outcomes of the meta-analysis, depicting a significant effect size that is mainly concentrated on the positive side of the plot. It is in the Biology subject domain that gives the maximum effect size. Overall, the integration of ethnocultural into science education gives a positive effect on students’ academic achievement. To further enhance the understanding of the effects of ethnocultural education, future research can expand the existing body of evidence, explore diverse cultural contexts, and employ thorough research designs to provide valuable insights into the impact and significance of ethnocultural education in different settings.

Authors: Ojurongbe Samuel Ayodele
Published: September 2024

Increasing cases and fatalities of Dengue fever in endemic areas have raised more concerns on the need for global initiatives and partnerships in a bid to find lasting solutions. This mini -review study was conducted with the aim of finding the needed wisdom and perspective from Global practices, for particular national and local regions and countries battling the growing challenges of Dengue fever outbreaks. It establishes the evident intersection among health, social progress, peace and development with consequent implications on governance. It concludes that the needed partnership and collaborations have lately pointed more in the direction of effectively exploring science, communication, and understanding of human behavior to win the fight against the disease. The study also underscores inherent limitations as a result of costs and standardization, as well as the search for the prevention and control of the mosquito vectors. Even in the face of cheering news in the fight against the dengue virus, there are still barriers to progress in the reality that dengue fever manifests as four different viruses that must be tackled differently. Findings include the reality that predominant approaches of vector control and traditional surveillance even though effective, are expensive and hampered by delay because some countries do not have routine vector control measures and national epidemiological surveillance systems. The study concludes that all is not lost as there are cases of effective management that may provide the needed wisdom and perspective if others are willing to pursue vigorous information and awareness initiatives and be committed to bottom -up approaches in tackling the menace of dengue.

Integration of Sustainable Investments in the Management of Foreign Reserves Held by Central Banks
Authors: OPREA Andreea
Published: September 2024

Motivated by both risk considerations, such as the impact of climate changes on asset prices, and the desire to support sustainable investments that contribute to global environmental goals, central banks are stepping towards the integration of sustainable investments in their Foreign Reserves management activity. This can be performed explicitly or implicitly, via a series of channels, such as the investment in labelled bonds, or the intertion of ESG metrics at portofolio level (e.g. portfolio carbon footprint). In the case of central banks, in general, the goal of sustainability can be integrated into the activity of managing reserves, without jeopardizing security and efficiency. The security and yield of green bonds support their incorporation into reserve portfolios, but some constraints could emerge in terms of accessibility and liquidity. Given the oversupply of green bonds in primary markets but reduced trading in secondary markets, the liquidity of green bonds may be limited, especially if investors keep these bonds to maturity. However, the persistence of excess demand should facilitate the sale of such assets, if necessary.

Authors: Thu Nguyen Huynh Hue , Tran Le Thi Thai
Published: September 2024

Being able to stand in front of a crowd and speak in front of an audience is important for improving the academic achievement of individuals in the present as well as support for future career development. McCroskey and Richmond (1987) assert that the ability to speak in public is important for persuasion and effective communication because it allows people to confidently convey their ideas, engage an audience, and express themselves clearly. However, Horwitz et al. (1991) define linguistic CA as the feelings of discomfort or uncomfortable experienced by foreign language learners. Learning a foreign language can be stressful for many students, especially when they are in the classroom. This study aimed to investigate the impact of communication apprehension (CA) on the learning of public speaking skills among English major students at Nam Can Tho University. A quantitative data collection method was used to address three key research questions: (1) How does communication apprehension affect the learning of public speaking skills? (2) What are the common causes of communication apprehension among English major students? (3) What are the possible methods to reduce communication apprehension and improve public speaking skills? The study utilizes a questionnaire including 47 questions to identify common causes of communication apprehension (CA) to explore potential strategies to deal with CA in public speaking. The Reliability Analysis on 50 items of these clusters showed that the reliability coefficient of the questionnaire could be acceptable for all parts. The sample consisted of 135 university students enrolled in English Studies major in 4 different classes. They averaged around 18 to 22 years of age with 29,6 percent being males, and 70,4 percent being female. The result showed that the preparation skills significantly impact the result of public speaking. Besides, based on the questionnaire result, factors like inappropriate self-expectations, fear of evaluation, excessive focus on the topic, and fear of the audience's reactions have no effect or minor effect on their public speaking. The findings of this research help the students improve their public speaking skills and inform the development of effective interventions to enhance their communication competence.

Authors: S. Begontes Saul , V. Sindayen John Ulysses , Jr. Efren A.Pagalan, , E. Cagas Raffy , A. Vedra Sonnie
Published: September 2024

The successful application of EIA in coastal resource conservation has underscored its potential as an effective environmental management tool. Traditional EIA processes often focus on the impacts of individual projects in isolation. However, coastal environments are influenced by multiple activities and stressors. There is a growing recognition of the importance of assessing cumulative impacts to ensure more holistic environmental management. It is essential to implement adaptive management practices that allow for ongoing monitoring and adjustment of mitigation strategies based on real-world outcomes. To enhance the effectiveness of EIA, therefore, it should be integrated with due considerations on environmental impacts at the policy, plan, and program levels, providing a broader context for individual project assessments. This integration can lead to more coherent and sustainable coastal management strategies.

However, given the wide variety of languages spoken by various ethnolinguistic groups in the country, it is not uncommon for a teacher to find herself handling students from different linguistic backgrounds and different levels of proficiency in English as their second language. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the level of attitude and the academic performance of maritime students in their research courses when instructors demystify the class instruction into the Cebuano-Visayan language. The researcher employed the descriptive correlational method of research with the use of a validated researcher-made questionnaire. A total of 100 maritime students in the University of Cebu- Maritime Education and Training Center were surveyed. The results showed that students have a very positive attitude toward Cebuano-Visayan language demystification in-class instruction in their research courses. The test of hypothesis of the attitude of the respondents toward Cebuano-Visayan language demystification was found as not significantly correlated with their academic performance in their research courses. Thus, despite this, the researcher concludes that Cebuano-Visayan language demystification in research courses improves the overall learning experience for students.

Tirso de Molina: Mannerism on the Threshold of the Baroque
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Silyunas V.Yu.
Published: September 2024

Continuing the study into the creative work of the Spanish playwright Tirso de Molina, in this article the author focuses on the problems of the writer’s works on the borderline between Mannerism and the Baroque that pose the most important questions of human existence, relations with the world and with God. In a broad historical, cultural, philosophical and religious context, the article analyses autos and ‘dramas about saints’, as well as the two masterpieces by Tirso de Molina — The Man Condemned for Lack of Faith and The Trickster of Seville, or the Stone Guest. In the drama The Man Condemned for Lack of Faith, the traditional image of a Christian righteous is debunked and the exaltation of a sinner is justified. In The Trickster of Seville, or the Stone Guest, criticism of morals is closely intertwined with mythopoetic imagery, and the tragic — with the grotesque, marking the tragicomic decline of the Renaissance and the transition from Mannerism to the problems of the Baroque. The optimistic anthropocentrism of the Renaissance is shifting towards the dynamics and tragedy of being and the heightened emotionality and polarity of the image system.
Architecture of Anna’s Period: The Birth of the Image of the Empire
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Aronova A.A.
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the problems of the Russian architecture of the 1730s, the era of Empress Anna Ioannovna’s reign. That period has not attracted much attention of researchers until recently, the reasons being poor preservation of the monuments of the 1730s and the lack of notable achievements, especially compared with the magnificent architecture of the Elizabeth’s 20-yearlong reign. In recent historical research, both the years of Empress Anna Ioannovna’s rule in the history of Russia of the 18th century and the figure of the Empress herself have undergone a noticeable revision. Anna’s decade appears to have been a period of stabilization and consolidation of the country’s transformations that took place during Peter the Great’s time. Research into the architecture of that time show that it was under Empress Anna Ioannovna that Petersburg acquired the characteristics of a capital city and began to be considered an imperial residence. In the 1730s, the most significant buildings initiated by Peter the Great were completed: the building of the Twelve Collegia, the Kunstkamera, and the Peter and Paul Cathedral. The new construction of palaces and public buildings over that time, as well as the transfer of former palace buildings to a number of institutions, testified to the desire for a visual articulation of the ruling elite. The article attempts to re-examine the indifference towards the architectural achievements of the period under consideration and suggests taking a closer look at it.
The Imagery of M.V. Dobuzhinsky’s Illustrations to Yu.K. Olesha’s The Three Fat Men

Published: September 2024

Mstislav Dobuzhinsky’s illustrations to the tale by Yury Olesha The Three Fat Men have not received a convincing interpretation. It is suggested to read these illustrations as a special work with the social imaginary that expands the participation of the fairy tale’s characters in revolutionary events through a special gaze technique. Two types of imagination are distinguished: the narrative imagination, implying the acceptance of the structure of an event, and the eccentric imagination, in which the event requires immediate action. This distinction is rooted in the practices of political rhetoric and was internalized by Olesha himself from his experience with European prints and decals. The magic of decals is essential to the plot of his fairy tale, but even more so to Dobuzhinsky’s pictorial program. Dobuzhinsky uses unusual avantgarde angles, framing, the view from the protagonist’s perspective and the meeting of views, drawing, among other things, on images of knowledge in European utopias. Referring to the philosophical concepts of the gaze, it is possible to reconstruct the system of empathy, sympathy for the characters and their eccentric actions, which Dobuzhinsky’s illustrations are meant to evoke. When reading Olesha’s tale, we follow the twists and turns of the narrative; when looking at the illustrations, we realize how each character contributes to the unusual development of events and how the meeting of gazes can establish a new social order. Dobuzhinsky does not simply interpret Olesha’s tale, but plays it out, engaging readers in an interactive game.
Korean Minimum. On Elena Khokhlova’s Book The Main Things in the History of Korean Art
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Kononenko E.I.
Published: September 2024

The first Russian book in forty years summarizing the information on the history of Korean art was published by the MIF publishing house as part of the book series The Main Things in History. But is the art of Korea known to us enough to highlight the “main things” in it? The publisher clearly understands the audience of readers the product is intended for, and in serial publications it offers navigation designed for the usual quick search for introductory information; however, the requirements of brevity and ease of presentation prevail over scientific fundamentality. The competence of the author, Korean Art historian Elena Khokhlova, her passion for the material, and courage in the selection of ‘key monuments’ made it possible, even within constraints, to create a serious work that awakens interest in the Oriental culture and in the history of art in general.
