Bilingualism and Creativity
Authors: Birescu Mihaela
Published: January 2022

Play is a very effective learning tool for children, and most of the educational systems admit this. Play activities are linked to: exploration, fun, freedom, investigation, enquiry, learning, social development, coping with anxieties, making sense of the world and using up energy. Through play, children develop abilities – for example they learn languages, and they do so, by four principles: enjoyment, method, system, and patience. Bilingual practice improves cognitive mechanisms, which may lead to increased creative potential. By combining bilingual and creative education, the cognitive mechanisms would help the individual creative performance and would create a synergetic bilingual creative model of education.

Authors: Kiok Prescylla Kristyn , Din Wardatul Akmam , Said Noraini , Swanto Suyansah
Published: January 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the prohibition of close contact and this unprecedented issue has led to the abrupt closure of schools and universities across the country. Teacher education programs have taken a toll as the final year students would not be able to fully experience the working environment in a school during teaching practicum. Thus, this systematic literature review aims to explore the lived experiences of pre-service teachers teaching practicum experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, after screening from 23,084 research articles, 8 relevant articles that focus on the teaching practicum experiences of pre-service teachers during the pandemic were chosen for review in order to achieve the objective. The findings show that the pre-service teachers teaching practicum experiences can be categorised into intrapersonal development or interpersonal development. Pre-service teachers seem to have a positive perception towards the change as they understood the importance of the transition from face-to-face learning to online learning during the pandemic. Other than that, positive or negative teaching practicum experiences highly depend on the institutions as much as the pre-service teachers depend on themselves. The future agenda and implementation of the findings are also discussed.

The English language is one of the most important language in the world the fact that it is considered as a universal language by the fact that how much it is used in peoples communication accord the world. Not everyone in the world certainly speaks fluently in English, but the fact that it is widely used wherever we are whether locally or even travelling in the foreign countries. Out of the four skills of language acquiring writing skill is undeniably the hardest skill to be taught and learnt in classroom with a short time constraint in a school day, which is one of the reasons that it is always to be given as a homework for students to do at their home. However, the writing product written by learner is fairly disappointing and does not seem to correlate with their abilities in some other language abilities. Thus, this paper will be discussing about Flipped Classroom Approach and Process-based Approach would help in enhancing students writing performance respectively. This SLR paper are using few inclusions in order to retrieve related articles using the right keywords. At the end of this paper, authors will proposed a combination of the two approaches using the post-method pedagogy.

Published: January 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a stir in the field of education. As higher educational institution (HEI) closes its lecture halls and tutorial rooms due to the pandemic, lecturers in HEI are scrambling to adjust to the curriculum transition from having a face-to-face lecture to teaching remotely using an online platform. ESL instructors in HEI were among those affected by the sudden curriculum transition. Therefore, this paper aims to systematically review the challenges faced by ESL instructors from HEI on how they adapted to the curriculum transition post-COVID-19. Related articles were obtained from two prominent databases namely ProQuest and Scopus using specific keyword search terms. A total of six articles were selected for review out of 933 articles that were initially detected from the databases after executing a thorough selection criteria. After that, the challenges faced by ESL instructors and how they cope with the challenges were identified and discussed. Our findings suggest that ESL instructors from different parts of the world are all experiencing an adverse struggle in adapting to the curriculum transition caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, more studies in the context of ESL curriculum are needed to fully understand the impact of COVID-19 on ESL instructors’ teaching performance.

Authors: Ayob Adenan
Published: January 2022

The digitization of materials in education is a sophisticated platform that is increasingly being used by Malay language teachers in the classroom. This digitization is increasingly imposed by teachers, and many related studies that have been done. In line with this research, the study was conducted to examine the significant effectiveness of Malay language teacher’s confidence and self-proactivity on the use of digital materials in the teaching of factual essays. The study revolved around teacher’s opinions based on the dimensions of self-confidence and proactiveness. A survey method through a quantitative study design based on questionnaires is used in this research. The study sample consisted of 30 Malay language teachers for secondary schools in the district of Shah Alam, Selangor. The study data were analyzed descriptively; mean and standard deviation. The inferential data were from the One-Sample t-Test to test the mean effectiveness of each dimension. The results of this study show that there is a significant mean difference for both dimensions. For the self-confidence dimension, t = 37.1, while the self-proactivity dimension, t = 49.6. Both dimensions were set a significance level <0.05 (df = 29). Implications from this study suggest that self-confidence and proactiveness are important to be measured by teachers so that the use of digital materials becomes an active new norm in the context of factual essay teaching in the 21st century. It is recommended that teachers be given extensive exposure to the use of digital materials in the classroom. The purpose is to increase the stimulus of Malay language teachers in the context of the use of ICT-based materials.

Published: January 2022

The Bahasa Melayu question paper is divided into two papers ( Paper 1 and Paper 2), with both papers require written essay responses. The literature section is the part of the questions that students are required to answer in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) exam. There are 13 marks awarded for 4 questions, two of them are questions in the form of KBAT. The aim of this study was to improve secondary school students' skills in writing KBAT answers using drill method. In addition, the researchers compared students' responses to four parts of the questions in the literature section of Bahasa Melayu Paper 2 (1103/2) before and after the drilling method. This study used a qualitative approach in the form of a case study (document analysis). In data collection, 5 classes in Maahad Control were subjected to pre-test and post-test. The study revealed that the pre-test scores of 10 students randomly taken from 5 classes, 3 of them were at the weak level and 7 students were at intermediate level. However, after 6 drilling sessions, the researcher found that the performance of the students improved in the post-test. 2 students reached an intermediate level and 8 students reached a good level in answering literature questions. This proves that students trained with drill method mastered the techniques of answer writing due to the influence of answer discussion which highlights the key words in each question. Meanwhile, teachers still need to guide students on punctuation and the use of appropriate cohesive devices in each part of the answer.

Published: January 2022

Nitridation of SiO2/4H-SiC(112̄0) interfaces with post-oxidation annealing in an NO ambient (NO-POA) and its impact on the electrical properties were investigated. Sub-nm-resolution nitrogen depth profiling at the interfaces was conducted by using a scanning X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy microprobe. The results showed that nitrogen atoms were incorporated just at the interface and that interface nitridation proceeded much faster than at SiO2/SiC(0001) interfaces, resulting in a 2.3 times higher nitrogen concentration. Electrical characterizations of metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors were conducted through capacitance–voltage (C–V) measurements in the dark and under illumination with ultraviolet light to evaluate the interface defects near the conduction and valence band edges and those causing hysteresis and shifting of the C–V curves. While all of these defects were passivated with the progress of the interface nitridation, excessive nitridation resulted in degradation of the MOS capacitors. The optimal conditions for NO-POA are discussed on the basis of these experimental findings.

We report on impurity diffusion in ion implanted AlN layers after thermal annealing. Silicon, tin, germanium, and magnesium ions were implanted into single-crystal Al-polar AlN layers grown on sapphire substrates. By annealing at 1600 °C, silicon and magnesium atoms were diffused in the AlN layer, while less change was observed in the distribution of germanium atoms. Silicon implantation introduced vacancy-related defects. By annealing at temperatures over 1300 °C, the vacancy-related defects were reduced, while oxygen atoms were diffused from the substrate due to sapphire decomposition. We reproducibly achieved silicon-implanted AlN layers with electrical conductance by controlling the annealing temperature and distribution of silicon and oxygen concentrations.

Published: January 2022

Teacher professional development and education programs are enhancing job-embedded experiences to address the disparity between theory and implementation. Simultaneously, higher education is now offering online courses to attract geographically distant educators, especially in high-needs fields such as teaching English Learners and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse students. There is a need to investigate what online teacher professional development and education programs can do to promote teachers’ application of what they learn. This pilot study utilized the Inventory of Situationally and Culturally Responsive Teaching (ISCRT) to investigate 23 in-service teachers’ culturally responsive teaching (CRT) practices before and after receiving online coursework and coaching. When compared to the control group, treatment teachers’ scores on four of the five ISCRT standards—Joint Productive Activity, Language and Literacy Development, Challenging Activities, and Instructional Conversations—as well as the composite were statistically significant. Findings suggest online CRT coursework with complementary instructional coaching supports teachers’ implementation of new knowledge and pedagogy.
Play in Three Acts

Published: January 2022

In some fields, written reflection is commonplace whereas in others it is uncommon. While athletic therapy education aims to produce reflective practitioners, written reflection is not a typical pedagogy employed. In 2014, the athletic therapy program at our institution began the implementation of a clinical presentation (CP) approach to facilitate competency-based curriculum requirements. This innovation to pedagogy required a reimagined approach to teaching, learning, and assessment. We describe one aspect of a larger SoTL study on this transformation, inquiring into the development of reflective practice through reflective writing. Students were asked to regularly reflect on their experiences in the clinic or field as part of their program. In this qualitative component of the study, we were able to gain insight into how students perceived the reflective process, how that evolved over their program, what were enablers and barriers to their reflection, and what was the role of feedback in their learning. The characteristics of student perceptions in each year, which followed a learning arc which we describe sequentially as “confused, conflicted, and convinced,” is explored, along with implications for pedagogy in assisting students to develope reflective professional practice.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POPULATION GROWTH WITH CHANGING LAND-USE PATTERN AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES IN KOLKATA, WEST BENGAL
Authors: Dasgupta Arunima
Published: January 2022

Given that urbanization is considered as one of the most signicant anthropogenic alteration of the overall environment, the present
study attempts to understand spatial-temporal characteristics of urban population growth and its implications on land-use as well as
understanding their relationship with environmental degradation with special focus on the Kolkata, the capital city of West Bengal.
Urbanization is one of the major driving forces behind the development of today's land-use and land cover system. A large number of contemporary
urbanization has been characterized as urban sprawl namely in an extensive form of land-use for urban uses that have environmentally detrimental effects.
There are indications of Urban sprawl and city expansion in our Study Area of Kolkata indicating expansion of settlements and built-up area and thus
causing environmental degradation in the city area.
The process of urbanization always had signicant implications that can affect cumulative changes in demographic characteristics and/or transformation of
the physical environment; unplanned, unsystematic and rapid urbanization can cause intense impacts on various environmental aspects, specically on
land and air and water. A thorough understanding of the dynamic relationship between urbanization and its generated land-cover changes thus becomes
completely essential for managing environmental changes and enabling sustainability of the environment and its resources.
THE DYNAMIC IMAGE OF CHINA PRESENTED IN GERMAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA REPORTS --THE CHINA-RELATED REPORTS OF GERMAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA FROM JANUARY 2020 TO JANUARY 2021 WERE USED AS EXAMPLES
Authors: Niao YU
Published: January 2022

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which began to spread globally in early 2020, has attracted a great deal of
attention from global society on the world's politics, economy, public security and global development. The mass media
played an important role in promoting it, making international relations and the construction of national images during COVID-19 pandemic an
important and urgent issue of national interest in the international political arena. During this period, China also became the ‘centre of public
opinion’.
As the most inuential country in the European Union, Germany's foreign policy and the China policy under its presidency has attracted a great
deal of global attention. While Sino-German cooperation remained at a ‘high level’ during the pandemic, Germany also sought to position itself
between the great powers of China and the US. Therefore, the image of China presented by the German mainstream media in their coverage of
China during the COVID-19 pandemic, their positions, the constraints behind them, and their development trends are worthy of attention and
study by academics.
This study attempts to research the generation of Chinese images in the German mainstream media, including both an analysis of "Germany" and
a reection on "China", and to investigate what cognitive models and knowledge structures the German mainstream media use in their discourse
construction, how they use their discursive power, and what kind of Chinese national image they construct
ANALYSIS OF THE CONTEXTUAL FACTORS OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF CHINA'S NATIONAL IMAGE IN THE GERMAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Niao Yu
Published: January 2022

National image is a clear information perception of a country in the international community, reecting a country's
international inuence and comprehensive national power. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the dramatic
changes in the international order and landscape. As a result, there is a widespread perception in the West that the current international order has
not only encountered serious challenges from emerging powers but has also led to confusion in the perception of globalisation within the West.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the breadth and depth of attention paid to "China" in the German mainstream media have
continued to rise.
This study will further investigate how the image of China is constructed in cross-cultural media communication, based on the national image of
China in German mainstream media coverage of China during the COVID-19 Pandemic and ideological analysis of the discursive contexts in
which it is produced.
This paper is basically structured as a review of the traditions and rules of the German press, an analysis of the operational characteristics of the
German press industry under the COVID-19 pandemic, the social impact of German media coverage on China, and an analysis of this news
production mechanism, followed by an analysis of the game between the Chinese and Western value systems and discourse power displayed by
the German media during the COVID-19 pandemic, an analysis of the value orientation of the German media towards the construction of China's
national image. This is followed by an academic exploration of the background and public opinion effects of the " China Phobia ".
This paper also examines the changes in the social structure of Germany as a result of the pandemic, Sino-German and Sino-European relations
in the context of the Sino-American conict, and the evolution of a sense of "sovereign Europe" and the current international order.

Nicolau syndrome is a rare complication of intramuscular injections caused by various drugs that present with intense pain and induration at the
injection site. It is characterized by local aseptic skin necrosis and rarely, muscle necrosis on the injection site. It has rarely been reported to occur
after intramuscular injections of anti-inammatory drugs, corticosteroids, local anesthetics, penicillin and interferon. Our literature review
revealed no cases of Nicolau syndrome following intravenous (IV) clindamycin injections. Herein, we report a case of Nicolau syndrome that
occurred after IV clindamycin injection in the left forearm of a 1.5-year child, that was notable because of the uniqueness of the syndrome coupled
with the fact that it has not previously been reported after intravenous clindamycin injection.

In recent years, the use of rotary blood pumps (RBPs) as continuous ow VADs has surged ahead, and virtually eliminated the use of pulsatile-ow
or volume-displacement pumps for implantable, chronic mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Circuit Design modications like that in
Saispandan has imparted pulsatility into RBP.Impeller designs are a signicant factor when designing centrifugal pumps as mechanical circulatory
assist devices as smaller diameter impellers with higher rotational speeds to achieve target outputs would cause more blood component trauma
compared to larger diameter impellers.Hydraulic performance and hemolysis tests in the same pump housing with different prototypes is needed.
Ventricular assist parameters for efcient circulatory support would include an output of 5 L/min against 100 mmHg at speeds of 2500-3500 rpm.
Vein height does not contribute signicantly to evaluation metric in most studies.

Pulpal necrosis in permanent teeth with immature roots leads to development of roots which are very short, thin walled and an inadequate
crown-root ratio, which overshadows their survival prognosis. Traditionally, the apexication procedure has consisted of multiple and long-term
applications of calcium hydroxide to create an apical barrier to aid the obturation. Recently, articial apical barriers such as those made with
mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) have been used in teeth with necrotic pulps and open apices. More recently, procedures referred to as
regenerative endodontics have received much attention as an option for these teeth. This paper reviews the past, present and recent concepts used
for apexication.

CYTOKINE RESISTIN IN METABOLIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE.
Authors: Kadu Prajakta
Published: January 2022

The rise in metabolic syndromes is known to be the root cause of major cardiovascular diseases mainly Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in India. A
biological marker will thus help to determine the disease before its onset and help cure it at early stages, reducing the chances of development of
further complications. There are various pro-inammatory markers (cytokines) which can be used to determine the onset of disease one such
marker known is resistin. Resistin is known to be a pro-inammatory adipokine secreted mainly from Peripheral mononuclear cell (PMNC), bone
marrow cells and macrophages in humans [1]. Inammatory response is generated due to rise in metabolic syndromes which in turn leads to the
secretion of various cytokines. The levels of these cytokines released help in determining the severity of disease.

Lung Cancer is the most common cancer worldwide with most cases being detected at Stage IV. Among these, metastases to the clivus are rare with
only very few cases reported in literature. The long course of the abducent nerve in relation to the clivus, makes it susceptible for metastases and
subsequent lateral rectus palsy. We present the case of a heavy smoker, 64 years old man who presented with headache and diplopia, on evaluation
diagnosed as bronchogenic carcinoma with clival metastases on magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).

Authors: Fayaz S Mahaboob , Vivek V Sai
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) currently effects 8.9% of the world's population.The macrovascular complications of
diabetes are 3 times more common than the microvascular complications.Involvement of the vessels of gut in T2DM hasn't been studied
exclusively like the other known macrovascular complications.This study focusses on the effect of T2DM on the Coeliac artery(CA) and Superior
Mesenteric artery (SMA) which are the main source of blood supply to the organs derived from fore and midgut .
METHODS: In our study over 2 years, 72 patients of T2DM were subjected to Duplex Ultrasonography.15 randomly selected patients who
satised the Fasting Duplex velocity criteria and 15 randomly selected patients who did not were subjected to CT Angiography.
RESULTS: We found that 22 patients (30.55%) out of the 72 had features suggestive of Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia (CMI) in both the coeliac
artery and SMA on duplex ultrasound and 8 patients (26.66%) out of 30 had conrmed CMI by CT angiogram.
CONCLUSION: th We found that every 4 diabetic had CMI. We would like to emphasize that the vasculature of the gut can be affected in T2DM
and this should inspire a lot of research and prospective studies relating CMI to GIT manifestations of T2DM.

INTRODUCTION: The infant feeding practice differs among the different cultures across the globe. Therefore, many movements have been
initiated in recent years to optimize feeding practices. One of the crucial parts is protecting, promoting and supporting breast milk for newborn
babies. But, unfortunately, there are many discrepancies between what has been recommended and what is being practised in reality. Various
factors, including beliefs, social, cultural, and economic factors, inuence the feeding practices in rural India. '' (1) This current research highlights
the knowledge attitude and practice of the mothers regarding infant feeding practice.
OBJECTIVES:To assess the different sociodemographic factors affecting feeding practices.
To nd the knowledge, attitude and practice of infant feeding among mothers of north Kerala.
RESULTS:The knowledge regarding feeding practices among Kerala mothers is high, owing to the mother's educational status. (2)
CONCLUSION: The results obtained from the current research help formulate specic interventional programs in the future.
CLINICAL PROFILE OF PATIENTS WITH SINONASAL MASSES - A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY
Authors: Gopalakrishnan Aiswarya , Menon Pramod
Published: January 2022

It is challenging to diagnose and distinguish sinonasal masses as they can have varying clinical presentations. This study was done to see if sinonasal masses can be detected by clinical symptoms, signs and examination itself without resorting to investigations. This cross sectional study was conducted in the department of Otolaryngology, Government Medical College Thrissur, Kerala for a period of one year from December 2017 to December 2018. Total 104 cases were studied. Most of the sinonasal masses were identied by doing proper anterior and posterior rhinoscopy which don’t require much expertise to master. This can be considered only as a screening because any intervention should be preceded by radiological investigations and biopsy for a denitive management.

A obtenção de genótipos de Coffea canephora pelo melhoramento genético tem contribuído para aumento da produtividade e qualidade sensorial da bebida. A uniformidade do ciclo de maturação é um importante fator considerado no desenvolvimento de variedade clonais. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a discriminação química e sensorial de três variedades clonais de C. canephora com genótipos de diferentes ciclos de maturação dos frutos baseada na composição de compostos voláteis e na nota global dos atributos sensoriais. As amostras foram constituídas por 54 frutos cerejas, sendo 18 frutos de cada variedade clonal (9 genótipos por ciclo de maturação e 2 repetições). Os frutos foram secados, torrados e moídos para realização das análises químicas e sensoriais. A extração, a caracterização e a identificação dos compostos voláteis foram realizadas por micro extração em fase sólida combinada à cromatografia gasosa e a espectrometria de massas. Para análise sensorial foi utilizado o protocolo da Associação Americana de Cafés Especiais. Nos frutos dos diferentes genótipos foram identificados 4 classes e 12 diferentes compostos voláteis relacionados aos atributes sensoriais. A análise multivariada de coordenadas principais mostrou que os clones de maturação precoce estão mais afastados dos genótipos de maturação intermediaria que daqueles de maturação tardia em relação a composição de compostos voláteis. Entretanto, as variedades clonais tiveram notas globais dos atributos sensoriais da bebida similares. Portanto, há uma variabilidade genética entre as variedades clonais, entretanto a discriminação desses genótipos baseada nas notas globais deve ser investigada considerando a contribuição individual dos atributos sensoriais.

O cultivo das sementes crioulas simboliza a chave para os sistemas de base agroecológica, essas variedades apresentam defesas contra vulnerabilidades das lavouras, como a resistência a intempéries climáticas, pragas e doenças. Entretanto, nos últimos anos o cultivo dessas sementes vem diminuindo e uma das formas de conservar e resgatar essas variedades é através das Casas de Sementes Comunitárias, essas são estruturas conduzidas por organizações de base comunitária e constitui uma importante ferramenta para a chamada conservação in situ/on farm. Diante da importância dessa tecnologia social, a pesquisa teve por objetivo caracterizar as Casas de Sementes Comunitárias do município de Crato. A pesquisa documental, entrevistas e levantamento das coordenadas geográficas foram as técnicas de coleta de dados utilizadas para delinear a pesquisa. Foram identificadas sete Casas de Sementes em Crato. Durante o estudo observou-se que as Casas de Sementes contribuem para o desenvolvimento sustentável das comunidades as quais estão inseridas. Entretanto, a falta de incentivo e apoio, o desinteresse dos jovens e as condições climáticas são os principais motivos que influenciam a inativação de algumas das Casas de Sementes identificadas na pesquisa.

: As Casas de Sementes Comunitárias são estratégias criadas com o objetivo de realizar e fortalecer a conservação in situ/on farm das sementes crioulas, as quais vem se extinguindo dado ao êxodo rural e a falta de políticas públicas voltadas para o incentivo de sua conservação, multiplicação e cultivo. Essas sementes representam o banco de variedades que dão suporte aos sistemas de base agroecológica. Sua importância se dá pela sua forte adaptabilidade, pelas suas defesas contra vulnerabilidades das lavouras, como a resistência a intempéries climáticas, pragas e doenças. Dado a grande importância das Casas de Sementes Comunitárias, esse trabalho objetivou identificar e caracterizar as Casas de Sementes do Município de Nova Olinda, identificando as ações de apoio à criação e fortalecimento. As técnicas metodológicas de coletas de dados foi a pesquisa documental, entrevistas e levantamento das coordenadas geográficas. Em Nova Olinda foram identificadas três Casas de Sementes. Conclui-se que embora o número baixo de casas de sementes, sua atuação e contribuição é de grande valia para o desenvolvimento sustentável da região, para a preservação da agrobiodiversidade e o desenvolvimento econômico das comunidades. E a inativação se dá por falta de incentivo e apoio, desinteresse dos jovens e as condições climáticas.
