Curriculum Models for Teaching English and Chinese: A Pedagogical and Comparative Perspective
Authors: Hanif Shafaq , Ullah Waseem
Published: February 2025

The study explores traditional and modern teaching methodologies, such as communicative language teaching (CLT) and Task-Based Learning (TBL), highlighting their adaption to address the specific features of each language.  English, as a global lingua franca, and Chinese, with its increasing global influence, pose distinct learning challenges due to their unique linguistic structures and cultural contexts. English curricula often emphasize fluency and intercultural competence, while Chinese instruction prioritizes character recognition and tonal accuracy. With this in mind, this is a qualitative approach by reviewing research papers. As a result, the integration of technology, including AI tools and digital platforms, has significantly enhanced teaching outcomes, providing tailored learning experiences. Furthermore, the role of globalization in shaping curriculum priorities is examined, particularly in fostering intercultural understanding and bilingual competencies. Case studies of the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and Taiwan illustrate varied approaches to English and Chinese language instruction, emphasizing the importance of balancing traditional literacy-focused methods with interactive, learner-centered strategies. Hybrid models that integrate both languages are proposed as effective frameworks for promoting multilingual proficiency. The study concludes by recommending curriculum designs that incorporate cultural content and advanced technologies to meet diverse learner needs in a globalized world. These insights inform educators and policymakers in designing inclusive and effective language education systems.
Configuraciones discursivas del programa gubernamental Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro, México 2018-2024
Authors: Garza Aguirre Fabián Alfredo , Palazuelos Rojo Isaac de Jesús
Published: February 2025

El Programa del gobierno de México “Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro” (PJCF), llevado a cabo entre el 2018 y el 2024, se promueve con la intención de apoyar económicamente a los llamados “ninis” sujetos de entre 18 y 29 años en condición de exclusión laboral y educativa. El objetivo del presente trabajo es comprender cómo el gobierno mexicano configura discursos mediáticos sobre la juventud mexicana en contextos de exclusión y precariedad, para justificar su participación a través de la creación de políticas públicas asistencialistas. Se utilizó un corpus de cinco videos protagonizados por el entonces presidente de la República Andrés Manuel López Obrador, más cinco videos de spots publicitarios, todos ellos producidos por el gobierno federal como estrategia de comunicación política. Con base en esta muestra, se elaboró un análisis de discurso en el que se construyeron las categorías observables “estado como institución socialmente necesaria” y “paternalismo de Estado”, para entender las configuraciones discursivas gubernamentales en torno a la juventud mexicana. Los resultados indican que los discursos mediáticos del PJCF, reafirman la imagen de un Estado que se presenta como una institución socialmente necesaria y de carácter paternalista ante la precariedad y la exclusión social de la juventud. En conclusión, para fomentar esta imagen, el estado y los actores políticos utilizan lógicas y formatos mediáticos diacrónicos, que gestionan la percepción pública sobre las juventudes, posicionando a las y los jóvenes como motor de cambio social y sujetos de derecho en términos de ciudadanía.

Power at the Roots
Authors: Martinez Miranda J.
Published: February 2025

Through direct engagement with gardeners, activists, and residents, Miranda Martinez shows the breadth and diversity of the community gardening movement and how these groups inserted themselves into local politics and development to create change. She demonstrates how real people are effective as social forces amid large scale urban change and looks at the complexities and contradictions involved in transformations of urban neighborhoods. One of the most important contributions of this study is its focus on the Puerto Ricans of the Lower East Side and their struggle to sustain its Latinidad. It goes deeply into the ethnic and cultural significance at the neighborhood and personal level to show the contradictory meanings of gentrification to Puerto Ricans and others, and more importantly, the ways that the history and culture of Puerto Ricans are ignored, devalued, and erased. By going to the grassroots, this book vividly demonstrates how Puerto Ricans interact with the global and local trends involved in gentrification and how the struggles against displacement can alter the boundaries of the process.
Literary and Sociopolitical Writings of the Black Diaspora in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
Authors: Simeon-Jones Kersuze
Published: February 2025

Literary and Sociopolitical Writings of the Black Diaspora in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries traces the historiography of literary and sociopolitical movements of the Black Diaspora in the writings of key political figures. It comparatively and dialogically examines such movements as Pan-Africanism, Garveyism, IndigZnisme, New Negro Renaissance, NZgritude, and Afrocriollo. To study the key ideologies that emerged as collective black thought within the Diaspora, particular attention is given to the philosophies of Black Nationalism, Black Internationalism, and Universal Humanism. Each leader and writer helped establish new dimensions to evolving movements; thus, the text discerns the temporal, spatial, and conceptual development of each literary and sociopolitical movement. To probe the comparative and transnational trajectories of the movements while concurrently examining the geopolitical distinctions, the text focuses on leaders who psychologically, culturally, and/or physically traveled throughout Africa, the Americas, and Europe, and whose ideas were disseminated and influenced a number of contemporaries and successors. Such approach dismantles geographic, language, and generation barriers, for a comprehensive analysis. Indeed, it was through the works transmitted from one generation to the next that leaders learned the lessons of history, particularly the lessons of organizational strategies, which are indispensable to sustained and successful liberation movements.
Framing ADHD Children
Authors: Rafalovich Adam
Published: February 2025

Framing ADHD Children explores the three social worlds of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: the home, classroom, and clinic. Through intensive interviews with teachers, parents, clinicians, and ADHD children, this book brings to light the human experiences surrounding this behavior disorder. The experiences of interview participants are supplemented with the most detailed historical discussion of ADHD to date, including the past and present debates about the true 'nature' of the disorder, issues concerning children taking stimulant medications, and the continuing discussion of whether or not modern technology can really detect ADHD in the brain. Both the history of ADHD and the people interviewed here demonstrate that ADHD is far from a cut-and-dry phenomenon, but rather a complex social process that requires the negotiation of uncertainty and ambiguity at every step.
Politics in the Human Interest
Authors: Bois William , Wright Dean R.
Published: February 2025

Politics in the Human Interest presents the striking proposition that by paying attention to what's been learned about human behavior, we can develop a political agenda that is in the human interest. Du Bois and Wright, editors of Applying Sociology: Making a Better World, seek a synthesis of the disciplines by returning to the bold conversation of August Comte, Lester Ward, Robert Lynd, Erich Fromm, Abraham Maslow, Alvin Gouldner, Ernest Becker and Alfred McClung Lee. As economist Kenneth Boulding once said, 'The question for the social sciences is simply, what is better_and how do we get there?' Politics in the Human Interest provides an important foundation for the answer and explores the theoretical foundation of a humanistic sociology. It returns to the original progressive agenda_that knowledge about human behavior can be used to create social progress and a better world. Politics in the Human Interest is perfect for advanced undergraduate courses and graduate courses as well as sociology professionals.
Die Gleichstellung von Frauen im Pfarramt
Authors: Gräßel-Farnbauer Jolanda
Published: February 2025

[Equality for Women in the Parish Office. The Path to Spiritual and Legal Equality for Female Theologians in Hessen and Nassau 1918 to 1971] This study, based primarily on sources from the central archive of the Church in Hessen and Nassau (EKHN), examines the history of women's ordination and legal equality in the EKHN and its predecessor churches based on the legal changes in church service law. The presentation begins with the first discussions about a degree for theology students in 1918 and ends with complete formal equality through the introduction of a common service law for pastors in 1970/71. As part of the review of the practical implementation of the laws, the volume also offers biographies of the vicars of the 1950s. This creates a well-founded picture of the EKHN's self-postulated pioneering role.
Grete Ring – Kunstgelehrte und Kunsthändlerin
Authors: Hilzinger Sonja
Published: February 2025

Grete Ring (1887–1952), eine Nichte des Malers Max Liebermann, war nicht nur Kunsthändlerin, -sammlerin und -wissenschaftlerin. Sie war auch eine der ersten Frauen, die im Fach Kunstgeschichte promovierten; eine unabhängige Frau, die ein selbstbestimmtes Leben führte, eine antisemitisch Verfolgte, die in der Emigration einen neuen Anfang wagte, eine kluge, geistreiche, zu Freundschaften begabte Netzwerkerin und umfassend gebildete Gelehrte. Sonja Hilzinger geht den Spuren von Grete Rings bewegtem Leben nach: von der Kindheit und Jugend im großbürgerlichen Berliner Elternhaus, über die Studienjahre, ihre Tätigkeit im Kunstschutz während des Ersten Weltkriegs, ihre Arbeit im Kunsthandel bei Paul Cassirer bis hin zu den schwierigen Jahren im Englischen Exil ab 1938. Erstmals werden auch Rings kunsthistorische Schriften eingehend gewürdigt. So bietet das Buch die Möglichkeit, eine Persönlichkeit wiederzuentdecken, die heute noch inspirieren und ermutigen kann.
Debattieren über Europas Zukunft
Authors: Fuchs Niklas
Published: February 2025

After the failure of the Constitutional Treaty in the 2000s, the 'Conference on the Future of Europe' was the most important opportunity for politicians to present their ideas about the future of the EU. By analysing speeches and motions in the European Parliament, the author identifies different narratives and shows how they reinforce and block each other. In doing so, he shows how decades of cooperation between European party families are breaking down and new alliances are forming. This diagnosis of fundamental shifts in visions for the EU is more is more relevant than ever at a time when the discourse of crisis tends to be pessimistic about the future.
Post–Truth Porn
Authors: Catuz Patrick
Published: February 2025

Am Beispiel von Gonzo-Pornografie, einer männlich-chauvinistischen und nach dem Millennium dominierenden Form der Internetpornografie, die sich mit Point-of-View-Darstellungen einer Vermittlung der Erfahrung der Teilhabe verschreibt, soll Pornografie in die Geschichte dokumentarischer Formen eingeordnet und damit das traditionelle Verständnis vom Dokumentarfilm erweitert werden. Weitere zentrale Fragen betreffen Probleme im aktuellen Verständnis von Authentizität und den maskulinistischen Backlash im so genannten Post-Truth-Zeitalter, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass authentisches Medienerlebnis und emotionaler Effekt Vorrang gegenüber gesicherten Fakten und schlüssigen Argumenten haben. Die Arbeit untersucht die audiovisuellen Strategien, Geschlechterverhältnisse und spezifischen Konstruktionen von Authentizität des Gonzo. Gonzo ist Teil von Amateurproduktionen, denen gemeinhin zugesprochen wird, von der Leidenschaft zu einem Hobby angetrieben zu sein und nicht etwa von finanziellem Interesse, doch deshalb ist keine Unabhängigkeit von der Pornoindustrie gegeben. Durch die beispielhafte Analyse der audiovisuellen Strategien in Amateur-Produktionen in Verbindung mit Theorien der kritischen Männlichkeitsforschung schließt diese Untersuchung eine Forschungslücke und zeigt Probleme unseres aktuellen Verständnisses von „Authentizität“ auf. Dies kann zu einem besseren Verständnis dessen führen, wohin sich die rasante Entwicklung von Internetmedien bewegt und dazu beitragen, Herausforderungen der Medienentwicklung im sogenannten Post-Truth-Zeitalter zu meistern.
Integrative Analysis of Non-coding RNAs and Hippo Signaling Pathway in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Bioinformatics and Experimental Approaches
Authors: Mirzaei-Nasab Farzin , Hashemi Mehrdad , Seyedena Yousef , Hosseinkhan Nazanin , Majd Ahmad
Published: February 2025

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies globally. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are pivotal in regulating gene expression and cancer progression, yet their precise functions within HCC pathways remain elucidated. Objectives: To investigate the role of ncRNAs in regulating key genes involved in Hippo signaling and HCC pathways and to identify potential novel regulatory mechanisms in HCC progression. Methods: Gene expression data from the GEO database (GSE14520) were analyzed for expression changes of LEF1, MOB1A, PRKCB, and SMARCA2 in HCC. Physical interactions between selected ncRNAs (lnc-LRR1-1:1, lnc-LRR1-1:2, and hsa_circ_0001380) and target mRNAs were predicted, using the long non-coding RNA-target analysis resource (LncTAR) tool. miRNA analysis was performed to identify potential competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanisms. qPCR analysis in HCC cell lines was conducted for experimental validation. Results: Significant upregulation of LEF1 and downregulation of PRKCB were observed in HCC samples. The strongest predicted interactions were identified between lnc-LRR1-1:2 and MOB1A isoforms. miRNA analysis suggested that the studied ncRNAs could act as ceRNAs. qPCR analysis confirmed upregulation of hsa_circ_0001380 and slight downregulation of lnc-LRR1-1:1,2 in HCC cell lines. Conclusions: This study unveils a complex regulatory network, where ncRNAs can modulate the expression of key genes in HCC. The predicted interactions, particularly between lnc-LRR1-1:2 and MOB1A, and between hsa_circ_0001380 and hsa-miR-193b-3p suggest novel regulatory mechanisms in HCC progression. These findings provide new insights into the role of ncRNAs in HCC pathogenesis and identify potential avenues for future research and targeted therapies.
First Principles Computation of Electronic Structure and Dynamical Properties of Perovskite LaBa2Cu3O7
Authors: Seville Cherotich , Nyawere Philip , Tanui Peter
Published: February 2025

Perovskite materials have attracted research because of their ability to transition from normal metals to superconductors. This study reports the electronic structure and dynamical properties of LaBa2Cu3O7 perovskite carried out in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) using the Quantum espresso code. This is based on plane wave self-consistent field (PWscf) and ultrasoft pseudopotential (USPP) method as treated in the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) generalized gradient approximation and local density approximations as implemented in Quantum Espresso Code. The electronic structure uncovers essential aspects such as bandgaps, Fermi surfaces, and density of states, offering valuable insights into the material's behavior. Under structural properties, optimization of the material’s cell dimensions, lattice parameters, k-points, and the kinetic energy cut-off values was properly checked through graphing. Accurate values were obtained at the convergence of the ground state energy at a minimum convergence threshold. Band structures of LaBa2Cu3O7 are similar to that of superconducting perovskites. The results show that LaBa2Cu3O7 is an orthorhombic structure with lattice parameter calculated to be 3.925 Å which compares well with other works and a band gap of 2.043eV. O 2p states typically dominate the valence band, while the conduction band involves Cu 3d states. Phonon calculations shows that the compound is dynamically stable as there are no negative frequencies observed.

Published: February 2025

Indonesia as an archipelagic country with diverse tribes, races, cultures, and languages faces challenges in preserving the sustainability of its traditional culture, including traditional musical instruments that are important in various regions, such as West Java. Traditional Sundanese musical instruments, such as angklung, gamelan, kecapi, and kendang, have important philosophical and spiritual values for the Sundanese people. However, knowledge and development of traditional musical instruments is still lacking among the Indonesian people, especially the younger generation. Conservation efforts involve various programs and initiatives from the government, related institutions, and local communities, but the challenges of globalization and modernization require more intensive efforts to promote, preserve, and develop traditional Sundanese musical instruments to the younger generation and the outside world.

Published: February 2025

The Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers Act,2001 is the culmination of legislative action undertaken by India to give effect to the TRIPS Agreement under the aegis of the WTO regime.  This enactment is applicable in the whole of India including the state of J&K. Like in the rest of India the Ministry of Agriculture implements it through its nodal agencies known as Krishi Vigyan Kendras. This paper shall enumerate the Origin, Genesis, and mandate of  Krishi Vigyan Kendras working under the aegis of the Ministry of Agriculture. It will define the role of KVKs and how farmers benefit from the schemes formulated therein. It shall illuminate the potential contribution of KVK in Kashmir Valley as an implementation machinery under the PPVFR Act 2001 and as an allied department of SKUAST-K. Needless to mention here KVKs play an important role in providing assistance and training to farmers in the shape of OFT [on-farm trials] and FLDs [front-line demonstrations] to enhance the quality of the farmer’s variety.
Utilising Bint Ash-Shāţi’s Thought as a Panacea for the Misconceptions about Women Leadership in Modern Muslim Societies
Authors: OMOTOSHO Haleemah Olajumoke  , SURAJU Saheed Badmus
Published: February 2025

The spread of literacy, western civilization as well as the expansion of women’s job opportunities to men's field of endeavourhas levelled up the power tussle between men and women geometrically. Thus, women have proven to be resourceful, creative and active in ownership and shouldering responsibility as well as clamouring for participation in almost every aspect of life, especially leadership. However, several misconceptions about women leadership in Islām have risen among contemporary Muslim societies which have become impediments for some Muslim women to hold leadership positions. Base on this, this paper explored the relevance of bint al-Shati’s thought to clarifying the misconceptions surrounding women leadership in Islam. The research methods adopted were the historical method which was used in accounting for the biography of Bint Al-Shāṭi, the analytical; which aided in analysing the misconceptions about women's leadership in Islam, coupled with the views of Bint Al-Shāṭi and Muslim scholars and the phenomenological method which was used to relate the discussion to contemporary society. The research findings revealed that Bint Shāṭi challenged interpretations of religious texts that have been used to justify the marginalization and exclusion of women from leadership affairs. She further provided a progressive interpretation that promotes gender justice and equity and encouraged women to actively participate in public decision-making without exceeding their limitations. The paper concluded that her thoughts provided valuable insights into natural dispositions surrounding women's leadership in Islam and emphasized the women potential to be effective leaders by advocating education, equitable opportunities, and reinterpreting religious texts within an Islamic framework. The paper recommended that more attention and awareness should be paid to the sensitivity of women's issues in Islām to resolve the differences experienced in modern Muslim societies.

Authors: Siyahtaş Anıl , Ceviz Ebru
Published: February 2025

Background: Career and life satisfaction are critical factors influencing football coaches' well-being, performance and future. However, the role of coaching efficacy as a mediator between these two factors remains underexplored, particularly in the context of football coaching in Türkiye.Aims: The present study examines the mediating role of coaching efficacy in the relationship between football coaches' careers and life satisfaction.Methods: The research group, which adopted a quantitative approach, consists of individuals with football coaching licences in Türkiye (n=429). The parametric tests were used in the analyses, and a modern approach was adopted for the mediation analysis. Furthermore, ANOVA was applied to the analysis of differences, and the Pearson correlation test was applied to the relationship between concepts. In addition, the difference between the groups was determined by the Tukey test.Result: The age factor did not affect coaching efficacy. However, experience and license categories were found to be important factors. The structural model constructed for the research was confirmed (Δχ²/sd=1.94; RMSEA=.05; CFI=.95; GFI=.90; IFI=.94).Conclusion: The study determined that coaching efficacy mediated the relationship between coaches' career and life satisfaction.

Authors: Nangoy Oktavianus Marti , Kresna Aryaning Arya
Published: February 2025

The objectives to be achieved in this study emphasize the semiotic analysis of the tradition of sitting together in revealing the social symbols of Indonesian tradition. The method used in this study is qualitative with a hermeneutic approach where researchers use meaning and text or social phenomena contained in the history of the culture of sitting together. The results of this study indicate that interaction with technological advances is still able to maintain the existence of the culture of sitting together where this mechanism emphasizes solidarity and a sense of togetherness. Physical and face-to-face relationships cannot be replaced by socialization that is established in the digital realm considering that direct interaction with each other will create space to maintain social values ​​and respect each other. In addition, in the future this tradition is able to provide potential on the basis of pluralism and diversity where it is based on social polarization. Thus the tradition of sitting together is still a relevant habit in social life and builds a big impact in the future.

Published: February 2025

Within the framework of REPO4EU, we intend to establish a comprehensive European biobank network for disease endotyping and pre-test patient recruitment. Our specific focus lies in conducting biomarker studies relevant to future clinical trials involving the repurposing of drugs. Our proposed methodology entails the creation of a virtual connection between major European biobanks in close collaboration with the Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources Research Infrastructure (BBMRI). This connection will grant us access to relevant data, facilitate the retrieval of stored samples for stable biomarkers, and enable the recall of patients for labile biomarkers. Here, we present an overview of the approach employed to engage biobanks and construct this expansive biobank network. Furthermore, we emphasise the essential prerequisites that each biobank must fulfil to be considered for inclusion. Subsequently, we have compiled an exhaustive list of the most pertinent biobanks that meet these requirements. The outcomes of this project contribute to enhancing our understanding of disease mechanisms, facilitating drug repurposing efforts, and advancing precision medicine approaches

Lingerie advertising has traditionally been targeted at women, emphasizing themes of sensuality, empowerment, and self-expression. However, men also play a significant role in lingerie consumption, both as buyers and as influencers in purchasing decisions. This study examines men’s perceptions of lingerie advertising in Indonesia, focusing on the Nipplets brand’s “Real People, Real Body” campaign through a video ad titled “Every Boobs Matters”, which promotes body inclusivity and self-confidence. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 Indonesian men aged 20-45 to explore their responses to inclusive lingerie advertisements. The findings reveal that men’s perceptions are influenced by cultural and societal norms, with urban participants showing greater acceptance than those from conservative backgrounds. Additionally, participants appreciated campaigns that emphasized comfort over sensuality, marking a shift in traditional marketing narratives. This study contributes to gendered advertising research and provides practical insights for lingerie brands in navigating cultural sensitivities while promoting inclusivity in Indonesia.

Salah satu cara yang bisa digunakan untuk mendapatkan keunggulan kompetitif sebuah perusahaan ditengah persaingan bisnis yang ketat adalah melalui sumber daya manusia yang dimilikinya. Tingkat keterlibatan karyawan yang tinggi di tempat kerja tidak hanya menghasilkan retensi karyawan, tetapi juga memupuk loyalitas karyawan terhadap perusahaan dan meningkatkan keunggulan kompetitif organisasi. Salah satu cara menimbulkan rasa keterikatan terhadap pekerjaan dan perusahaan adalah melalui cara kepemimpinan yang baik, yang mampu menciptakan atmosfer kerja yang dapat mendukung peningkatan produktifitas dan kualitas hasil kerja. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan pengaruh dimensi kepemimpinan transformasional terhadap keterlibatan karyawan pada PT. Imora Motor. Penelitian ini berjenis kausal dengan pendekatan kuatitatif, yang dilengkapi dengan wawancara untuk memperdalam hasil statistik. Data primer didapatkan dari 102 responden yang merupakan karyawan PT. Imora Motor. Hasil penelitian secara stimultan menunjukan bahwa kepemimpinan transformasional memiliki pengaruh yang positif dan signifikan terhadap keterlibatan karyawan. Hasil penelitian secara parsial menunjukan bahwa dimensi pengaruh ideal, motivasi yang menginspirasi, dan stimulasi intelektual memiliki pengaruh yang positif. Sementara itu dimensi pertimbangan individu memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap keterlibatan karyawan pada PT. Imora Motor. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa kepemimpinan transformasional memainkan peran penting dalam meningkatkan keterlibatan karyawan, tetapi perhatian terhadap aspek pertimbangan individu perlu diperhatikan agar tidak menimbulkan persepsi ketidakadilan.

Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto da centralização do setor financeiro e a distribuição proporcional de suas despesas por meio de rateio institucional, em unidades de saúde pública gerenciadas por uma Organização Social de Saúde (OSS). Método: O estudo comparou os custos do setor financeiro de quatro unidades de saúde no primeiro semestre de 2022, quando esses setores estavam alocados localmente em cada unidade, com os custos do mesmo período em 2024, após a centralização da operação financeira na sede da OSS. Os dados foram extraídos do sistema de custos da instituição, auditado anualmente. Resultados: A análise demonstrou uma redução média nos custos administrativos de 55,50% após a centralização, sugerindo que o modelo de rateio institucional é eficiente e econômico, fortalecendo a viabilidade da gestão centralizada pela OSS e sua capacidade de alocar mais recursos para áreas críticas. Conclusão: Este estudo enriquece a literatura sobre gestão de recursos públicos em saúde por Organizações Sociais de Saúde ao apresentar evidências quantificadas que demonstram os benefícios da centralização das atividades administrativas e do rateio proporcional dessas despesas, resultando em maior eficiência na alocação de recursos e uso mais sustentável dos recursos da saúde pública.
