JALT2024 Plenary Speaker: Toward Justice-Affirming Language Teaching
Authors: Kubota Ryuko
Published: August 2024

In the field of language education, there is an increased recognition that equity, diversity, inclusion, and social justice should be established in every aspect of teaching and learning. This trend exists against the backdrop of broader sociopolitical contexts that are becoming more volatile and threatening to human existence, requiring a greater promotion of sustainability of humankind and the non-human world. Under this circumstance, language education, with its aim to foster communicative competence, contributes to honoring human dignity and building solidarity across differences. Central to this vision is justice-affirming language teaching for raising critical consciousness of how oppressive forces affect the lives of individuals who are positioned differently in power hierarchies. Simultaneously, this framework requires praxis: critical reflection for unlearning and a commitment to putting relearned critical perspectives into action (Freire, 1998). In this essay, I will outline a conceptual foundation of justice-affirming language teaching, challenges that need to be overcome, and its applications to the context of Japan.

This research aims at exploring theta roles- theoretical entities in the Urdu language that are very crucial in enabling one to Account for relations between verbs and their associated arguments. This is explained by the elaborate framework of theta roles that are commonly used, and consist of the Agent, Theme, Goal, Source, Experiencer, Patient and Instrument. For instance, in the case of “He is reading the book,” while the Agent role refers to the performer of an action, the Experiencer role refers to the passive experience as it is illustrated in “I am hungry.” This paper provides a way of differentiating and studying the intricate relationship between various features of the Urdu language. However, in order to investigate this issue more vigorously, the research also applies Chomsky’s minimalist agenda. Analyzing the studied theories in the given program, this investigation provides a more detailed interpretation of the structural and semantic characteristics of Urdu, greatly increasing the awareness of the language’s sophistication.

El Principio del Daño como Argumento a Favor del Derecho al Consumo de Sustancias Psicoactivas
Authors: Mondragón Viviescas Edwin Yamid
Published: August 2024

Alrededor del mundo está teniendo lugar un replanteamiento de las políticas para hacer frente a los problemas derivados del consumo de sustancias psicoactivas, de manera que en algunos países se ha regulado el consumo de Cannabis de uso adulto con fines recreativos. No obstante, la mayoría de estas decisiones son tomadas con base en argumentos de carácter consecuencialista, que derivan su fuerza argumentativa de la ponderación tanto de los beneficios de la regulación como de la ineficacia y los problemas derivados de la guerra contra las drogas. En este sentido, la presente ponencia tiene por objeto mostrar que, frente a este tipo de argumentos, el principio del daño continúa erigiéndose como el principal criterio al momento de establecer un derecho derivado a la libertad, que  proteja al individuo de la injerencia ilegítima del Estado. Asimismo, tiene como finalidad someter a análisis la Sentencia C-221 de 1994, que despenaliza en Colombia el porte y consumo de la dosis mínima de drogas, pues, al margen de su importancia fáctica, dicha sentencia resulta teóricamente relevante, por cuanto sus principales argumentos se fundamentan en el principio del daño, y dado que en ella se defiende la despenalización a partir de la formulación de un derecho al consumo de sustancias psicoactivas.

Published: August 2024

The development of Information Technology (IT) allows the Academic Information System (SIAK) to become a central element in the management process of Higher Education, primarily Academic. On the other hand, the sophistication of IT in SIAK develops a variety of new risks (IT Risks) that accompany it if not managed properly. Therefore, the maturity level of SIAK management determines the performance of the academic activity process. In SIAK, the element that determines system performance is Application Software. The results of this study indicate that IT Process AI-02 (Procurement of Application Software) Vocational Higher Education in Bandung, as measured based on COBIT standards, is still at the 2.1 level. This means a part/function (management) already handles Software Procurement but is still "Repeatable but intuitive." Because it is managed sporadic and only refers to leadership policies with limited control over IT/SIAK. From the radar chart of the research results, it can be seen that the prominent role of IT Process AI-02 is the aspect (indicator) of "Approval," "Technical Support from Vendors," and focus on handling the problem of "data integration" because many universities are in the transition period from old IT to new IT. Other indicators (COBIT requirements) still need to be higher (meaning they have not become a concern) when the AIS procurement process is carried out.

Dividend problem of an investment risk model under random observation
Authors: Wang Chunwei , Li Shaohua , Xu Jiaen , Wang Shujing
Published: August 2024

We mainly studied the dividend payout with a two-sided jumps risk model under random observation. The two-sided jumps in the model represent random claims and random returns. First, we obtained the integral differential equation of the expected dividend under the boundary conditions. Because the equations cannot be solved directly under normal circumstances, we chose the sinc numerical method here to approximate the solution of the equations. Then the error analysis of the approximate solution was carried out to illustrate the rationality of the numerical method. Finally, some concrete numerical examples were given.

Authors: Deb Amit Kumar , Murugan Aroul , Stephen Mary , Sangaraju Suneel , Sarkar Sandip , Jossy Ajax
Published: August 2024

Purpose:

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vision-threatening proliferative vitreoretinopathy affecting premature infants, characterized by abnormal retinal vascular at the boundary of the vascularized and avascular peripheral retina, and is a leading cause of preventable childhood blindness worldwide. To identify the prevalence and the important risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity in a tertiary care hospital in South India.

Methods:

This was a retrospective cross-sectional study conducted in the ROP clinic at the ophthalmology outpatient department and neonatal intensive care unit at a tertiary care center in South India. Data from ROP screening done from April 2020 to April 2022 were collected.

Results:

A total of 509 infants (1018 eyes) satisfied the inclusion criteria. The overall mean birth weight and mean gestational age were 1515.2 g (±432.9) and 32.2 weeks (±2.9), respectively. One hundred and ninety-six babies out of 509 presented with some form of ROP, accounting for a prevalence of 38.5%. Only 14 eyes (3.6%) among the 382 eyes with any stage ROP required treatment. A total of 10 risk factors were evaluated and analyzed. Bivariate analysis and multivariate forward step-wise logistic regression analysis for the relevant risk factors were performed, and low birth weight and low gestational age were found to be strong predictors of ROP. Oxygen supplementation, multiple births, and exchange transfusion had strong statistical and clinical correlations with the development of ROP. This study portrays the severity of the problem and the current trend of risk factors associated with ROP in the region to help refine the screening guidelines to be more relevant to low- and middle-income nations.

Conclusion:

Oxygen supplementation, multiple births, and exchange transfusion had strong statistical and clinical correlation with the development of ROP. This study portrays the severity of the problem and the current trend of risk factors associated with ROP in the region to help refine the screening guidelines to be more relevant to low- and middle-income nations.

Purpose:

The purpose is to find out changes in endothelial cell density (ECD) in eyes undergoing phacoemulsification (Phaco) versus manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS) or small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) with 6-month postoperative follow-up.

Methods:

An observational prospective study of 200 eyes of 200 patients was conducted over 13 months (December 2016–December 2017). Patients with senile cataracts undergoing surgery by any of the two methods (SICS and Phaco) were included in this study. After preoperative examinations, patients underwent surgery by either Phaco or SICS according to patients’ preferences and affordability. All intra- and postoperative data were collected prospectively, and the minimum follow-up was 6 months. Data were entered into an Excel file format and subsequently analyzed with SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), unpaired t-test, paired test, ANOVA test, and Pearson correlation coefficient. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:

The mean ECD during the preoperative period in the SICS group was 2537.789 cells/mm2 (range = 2004.3–3564.7) and in the Phaco group 2592.878 cells/mm2 (range = 2020.0–3434.3). There was significantly more cell loss in SICS at 1 week than in Phaco (P = 0.0001). On 1-month and 3-month follow-up, gain and stabilization in ECD were noted in both the groups which was significantly more in the SICS group than in the Phaco group (P = 0.001 and P = 0.004, respectively). However, at 6 months, ECD loss was stabilized for both the groups, and there was statistically no significant difference between both groups (P = 0.108).

Conclusion:

While there is an initial difference in EC loss between MSICS and Phaco, there is a significant stabilization observed over the 6-month postoperative period, resulting in comparable EC loss between the two methods.

Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) encompasses a spectrum of dysplastic and neoplastic conditions affecting the conjunctiva and cornea, ranging from intraepithelial neoplasia to invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Traditional management of OSSN has primarily involved surgical excision, often supplemented by cryotherapy. However, the emergence of topical pharmacotherapies has significantly transformed the treatment landscape, offering noninvasive alternatives that may reduce recurrence rates and preserve ocular surface integrity. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the current topical pharmacotherapeutic agents used in OSSN, including interferon alpha-2b, 5-fluorouracil, and mitomycin C. We evaluate the mechanisms of action, clinical efficacy, dosing regimens, and adverse effect profiles of these agents. In addition, the review discusses the selection criteria for topical versus surgical management, the role of adjuvant therapy, and the latest advancements in drug delivery systems. By synthesizing recent clinical trials and case studies, this article aims to guide clinicians in optimizing treatment strategies for OSSN, highlighting the potential of topical pharmacotherapy to improve patient outcomes while minimizing treatment-related morbidity.

A 27 year old female was undergoing treatment for suspected viral meningitis in medicine department and referred for eye examination for decrease in vision in left eye. Fundus examination showed multiple bilateral choroidal mass with a normal anterior segment. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was confirmatory for bilateral choroidal granuloma and with a provisional diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis, High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) thorax and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CEMRI) brain was done which revealed miliary mottling in both lungs with vertebral involvement and ring lesions with focal asymmetric enhancement respectively. A diagnosis of bilateral multifocal choroiditis with choroidal tubercular granuloma was established following a positive Mantoux report. Hence, unilateral or bilateral mass lesions should not be missed as a possibility of tubercular granuloma with or without systemic presentation in Indian subcontinent.
