Teachers’ Code-Switching in Primary EFL Classroom: Is It Good or Bad?
Authors: Sun Xiangyun , Zhang Tingqun 
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the characteristics of code-switching (CS) in a Chinese primary EFL classroom, focusing on frequency and types of teachers' CS, as well as teachers' and students' attitudes toward it. Data on CS characteristics were gathered from three English classes using recording pens. Attitudinal data were obtained from separate questionnaires for teachers and students. Qualitative data (which include characteristics) were analyzed using thematic coding, while quantitative data (which include attitudes) were processed using SPSS 27.0. Results indicate that Year 4 teachers engaged in CS more frequently. Three CS types were identified, with inter-sentential switching being the most frequent in classes, followed by tag switching and intrasentential switching. Both teachers and students shared a positive attitude towards CS used by teachers in class management, subject access, and relation building. In EFL classrooms, CS, particularly inter-sentential switching, should be used to support teachers in these aspects.

Published: December 2024

The article summarises archaeobotanical data and discusses the importance of plant remains for the reconstruction of ancient flora and vegetation during the development of Neolithic settlements in the southern zone of the Western Desert of Egypt. Such an attempt is possible thanks to archaeological and botanical research carried out there for many years. These studies have led to the identification of numerous plant remains that were found at different sites inhabited by nomadic tribes in various humid interphases of the Holocene. The recognised subfossil flora includes at least 52 taxa. Archaeobotanical assemblages from individual sites are neither very diverse in plant species nor abundant in plant remains. The exception is Site E-75-6 at Nabta Playa, which yielded exceptionally rich plant material. The most favourable period for the development of flora, vegetation and settlement occurred during the Holocene Climatic Optimum, correlated with the El Nabta and Al Jerar settlement phases. This period was characterised by a relatively rich flora that grew in various habitats in the vicinity of the former settlements.
New deposit of the early medieval Axe-Like Iron Bars from settlement at Brzesko, site 16-17, Lesser Poland Voievodship

Published: December 2024

The article discusses the rare find of a deposit of 38 ax-like iron bars from Brzesko, Site 16-17 (Lesser Poland Voivodedship). Each of them was forged out of iron in the form of an oblong axe with a short blade. Lugs on a part of the items form cups. The characteristic shape of the preserved fragments allows for including them in the type of Lesser Poland bars, also called Vistula’s bars. These items differ from the Greater Moravian type known from territories south of the Carpathian Mountains. They were discovered in feature 286. In the fill, only a few pottery fragments have been found. In light of the analogy of rims and analogous finds from Lesser Poland and Great Moravia, this complex can be dated to the period between the mid-9th century and the beginning of the 10th century, or its first half.
Dimensión socioeconómica del proceso de reintegración desde la mirada de un excombatiente del conflicto armado colombiano

Published: December 2024

Posterior a la firma del acuerdo de Paz, luego del extenso conflicto armado colombiano, se han logrado la implementación de procesos de reincorporación los cuales de destacan por su pretensión de diseñar estrategias socio culturales y socio económicas para la construcción de paz en los territorios. El presente artículo expone la experiencia de la reincorporación de un excombatiente de las FARC-EP en cuanto a las afectaciones económicas a las cuales se enfrenta en este proceso de transición a la vida civil analizando las afectaciones, centrándose en las limitaciones de acceso a empleo, la escasez de formación adecuada, y la dependencia de programas de apoyo temporal. Para ello se empleó un enfoque cualitativo con el método de historia de vida, utilizando entrevista semiestructurada para recopilar las experiencias de un excombatiente, permitiendo una visión detallada de sus dificultades en la reintegración económica. Los resultados indican que la estigmatización social y la falta de oportunidades laborales adecuadas siguen siendo barreras significativas para lograr una reintegración económica sostenible. A pesar de los programas existentes, estos no responden de manera efectiva a las necesidades y habilidades individuales de los excombatientes. En conclusión, se subraya la necesidad de implementar políticas públicas más inclusivas y personalizadas, que promuevan tanto la empleabilidad como la integración social para lograr una paz duradera. Este estudio es de tipo reflexivo y parte de un proyecto financiado por la Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander.

Authors: Suwannutsiri Thitaree , Arreenich Peerada , Sombuntham Premsuda 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic first emerged in December 2019 and rapidly spread globally, including Thailand. While respiratory symptoms remain the primary manifestation of the disease, upper respiratory tract symptoms, including dysphonia, have been reported in various studies.

Objectives
To determine the prevalence of dysphonia in non-hospitalized Thai COVID-19 patients and identify associated factors using the Thai-Voice Handicap Index-10.

Methods
This study investigates the prevalence of dysphonia and associated factors in non-hospitalized Thai COVID-19 patients. Conducted from September 2022 to February 2023, it enrolled healthcare workers who tested positive for COVID-19 but were not hospitalized.

Results
Among 82 patients, 53 (64.6%) reported dysphonia, which was significantly associated with cough (P = 0.013) and nasal discharge (P = 0.047). Substantial improvement was observed at the 3-month follow-up (73.6%). Vaccination may serve as a protective factor (crude odds ratio < 1).

Conclusion
The prevalence of dysphonia among non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Thailand is 63.6%, linked to cough and nasal congestion, with symptoms likely to subside within 3 months.
Updating the files: Understanding the public service through storytelling and narrative
Authors: Mulreany Michael , O’Brien Denis 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In this article, we reconsider our 2011 book Lord of the files: Working for the government, which was the first of its kind to collect written sources from hundreds of writers inside and outside the public service on the realities and complexities of Irish public service life. Its portrayal of institutional life, state administration and the delivery of public services as they play out within the values expected of public servants aimed to provide a rounded understanding of what is conventionally known as ‘working for the government’.
In the decade or more that has elapsed since publication, the context for public policy and administration in Ireland has significantly changed. We identify what we believe are important narratives arising out of momentous events that have defined recent history and which have affected how the public service carries out its duties. We frame these narratives and bring to the fore our original objectives in the anthology by reflecting on how, in recent academic discourse, storytelling is seen as important to understanding the operation and culture of organisations. We take the opportunity to present and discuss new material, and previously overlooked material, that would earn a place in an updated anthology and maintain our purpose of improving the understanding of the public service.
Irish university governance in transition
Authors: Loughnane Caroline 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Governance structures in Irish universities are undergoing a significant transformation as the passing of new legislation in October 2022, the Higher Education Authority (HEA) Act, heralded the beginning of a new relationship between the Irish state, the universities and their regulator, the HEA. This paper provides an analysis of the changes taking place in university governance with the implementation of the HEA Act and locates the current developments in the context of wider governance reforms that have taken place across European higher education. The findings of an empirical research study involving elite interviews with key stakeholders in Irish higher education governance are also presented; the results capture the early experience of implementing governance reform, with key stakeholders agreeing that smaller supervisory boards result in better governance, more rigour in the way board members approach their roles, and greater accountability required of executives, which is expected to lead to greater tension between boards and their executives. The paper concludes by identifying opportunities for further research with a follow-up study of the impact of the governance reforms on board effectiveness proposed once the new governing boards have served a full term.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
In the last decades, especially in the post-pandemic period, the digitization phenomenon has gained momentum in all sectors of social life, including the educational environment. In our opinion, the phenomenon of digitalization in education generates a multitude of effects at the level of classroom management, in relation to the following significant aspects: pedagogical/educational relations (between various educational actors: students, teachers, parents, educational managers, etc. ) the teaching style/educational style, the learning style of the student, the mode and degree of engagement/involvement of students and teachers in the decision-making process at classroom level, the strategies of communication and resolution of conflict situations arising in different educational contexts, the ways of managing time, stress and priorities, etc. Through this article we aim to carry out a multidimensional research, aimed at identifying the perceptions and the attitudes of the teachers and students in the investigated sample, regarding the effects of digitization on the management of the classroom, in relation to the aspects listed above. The micro-survey sample included 103 pre-university teachers, with different specializations, who teach at different levels of education and 72 secondary school students (middle and high school). We appreciate that the answers obtained from the investigation carried out will contribute to the identification of valuable methodological landmarks from a socio-psycho-pedagogical point of view, useful in the direction of modernizing the management of the classroom and its realization in conditions of increased efficiency.
Developing Romanian and American Cultural Awareness Through Discursive Competences:A Project-Based Learning Pilot Study
Authors: Rogoveanu Raluca-Nicoleta 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This empirical study presents the tools and conceptual framework that enabled me to plan, implement and deliver a Project Based Learning (PBL) pilot test in my course on Introduction to American Studies, intended for 1st year students majoring in American Studies at Ovidius University, Constanta. The presentation of the PBL project follows a chronological approach to the in-class pedagogical sequence, with a specific focus on the evaluative process, mainly articulated around self-assessing strategies. Self-assessment is construed as essential in creating the premises and helping develop metacognitive processes which are presented and analyzed according to Fink’s taxonomy of significant learning. Most data were collected through personal classroom observations. The observation method was utilized during the planning stage (where students chose teams, selected project topics, asked and answered essential questions, designed project plans, and created project timelines), the implementation stage, and the assessment stage (evaluating both the project results and the learning activities). In addition to observations, a qualitative analysis of students' projects was conducted. The findings from these observations, along with a description of the students' self-assessment exercises are compiled in this study and point to the fact that by employing PBL as a staple in classes, teachers can create a potent learning environment, suitable for engaged learning, growing and shared experiences.

Tierras de los templos de los ídolos, bienes y pertenencias de Alá: rentas eclesiásticas, cultura jurídica islámica y retórica imperial en las diócesis novohispanas de Oaxaca y México, 1536-1544
Authors: Rovira Morgado Rossend 
Published: December 2024

Este estudio enmarca una temprana correspondencia oficial de varios obispados de la Nueva España con la archidiócesis de Granada, el Consejo de Indias y la Corona. En ella, se entrevé la exitosa organización eclesiástica de la Granada post-nazarí y su impacto cultural en las primeras mentalidades novohispanas. Se analizan tales fuentes teniendo en cuenta las reapropiaciones virreinales y las resignificaciones funcionales de los awqāf o ḥub(u)s musulmanes y moriscos (hispanizados en bienes habices). Argumentamos que, al incluir el recuerdo de los habices en tales narrativas epistolares y jurídicas, las diócesis de Oaxaca y México intentaron acercarse epistemológica y hermenéuticamente a las propiedades agrarias religiosas indígenas y sus rentas desde una perspectiva filo-islámica, además de equipar las estrategias gerenciales de la Iglesia andaluza a la realidad americana.

Karya sastra memiliki bentuk dan gaya yang khas. Salah satu kekhasannya ada dalam bahasa. Bahasa dalam karya sastra telah mengalami penyimpangan, pemutarbalikan dari bahasa sehari-hari. Sastra dan bahasa merupakan dua bidang yang tidak dapat dipisahkan. Salah satu bentuk karya sastra yang penggunaan bahasanya menimbulkan estetika yaitu puisi. Secara umum puisi merupakan bentuk karya sastra yang mengandung unsur irama, rima, diksi, lirik, dan menggunakan kata kiasan, dalam setiap baitnya untuk menciptakan estetika bahasa yang padu. Puisi merupakan karya sastra yang berasal dari perasaan dan ekspresi yang diungkapkan penyair. Seperti halnya dalam puisi modern, puisi modern dan puisi baru disebut puisi bebas karena tidak terikat pada bait, jumlah baris, rima dan irama pada penulisannya. Maka dari itu, keindahannya terlihat dari bahasa yang digunakan. Bahasa puisi dapat dikaji menggunakan teori stilistika, khususnya pada penggunaan bahasa figuratif. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil dari penelitian ini terdapat beberapa bentuk bahasa figuratif yang dikenal dengan pemajasan.
«Una mujer huele bien cuando no huele a nada». Mujer, atuendo y cosmética en las selecciones humanistas de poetas latinos
Authors:   Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (España), Almeida Marrero María Teresa 
Published: December 2024

Concern for external appearance and interest in clothing are traits that have generally been identified as characteristic and exclusive to the female character and, therefore, evidence of women’s frivolity and inferiority to men. Nowadays, the phenomenon of fashion (physical appearance, attire, etc.) is approached as a more profound issue, and older beliefs have been replaced by new perspectives. Nevertheless, many of these beliefs are still valid today, and an analysis of their origin and evolution over the centuries is always a necessary and interesting exercise. For this reason, in this paper, a series of excerpts or fragments related to female attire, taken from some of the most relevant sixteenth-century florilegia (Mayer, 1534; Estienne, 1534; Mirándola, 1538; Schönborn, 1565), will be used in order to analyze the ideas and positions on this subject present in the classical authors, as well as to explore their influence on Renaissance society, in the light of what these florilegia and the selection made by their compilers show.
