Becoming an Israeli Reform Jewish Movement
Authors: Ben-Lulu Elazar 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The Israeli Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism has grown considerably in recent years. Fifty congregations and initiatives now operate throughout the country, offering prayer services, holiday and life-cycle ceremonies, study houses, conversion courses, pre-army programs, and more. Despite its increased presence in Israeli life, the movement is still known among the general public mainly for its struggle to achieve equal status and gain official recognition. In fact, the very term ‘Reform Jew’ still carries a derogatory connotation in many sectors of society. This article describes the major turning points encountered by the Israeli Reform Movement in its quest for recognition, the arenas in which it operates and parties with which it negotiates, and the ways in which it differs from its counterpart in North America. While the article focuses on a single movement in the Israeli marketplace of religious identities, it seeks to shed light on religion–state relations and changes in the Jewish world more generally.
Strategies to Legitimize and Enhance the Popularity of the Reform Marriage Ceremony among Israeli Jews
Authors: Golan-Nadir Niva 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
What strategies are used to legitimize and enhance the popularity of the Reform marriage ceremony among Israeli Jews? Using a mixed-method grounded-theory technique, this study stresses that the strategies used to legitimize and enhance the popularity of the Reform marriage ceremony among Israeli Jews take place in two parallel realms: the organizational and the individual. At the organizational level, the Israel Reform Movement invests resources into institutionalizing the Reform marriage ceremony in Israel, using the judicial and the political strata to accomplish this goal. At the same time, at the individual level, Reform rabbis operate as street-level policy entrepreneurs by enhancing the visibility of the Reform marriage ceremony among Israeli Jews by advertising themselves and conducting as many ceremonies as possible.
The Tale of Darkness in Amos Oz's Literary Work
Authors: Nethanel Lilah 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this article, I present an analysis of Amos Oz's writings, from his early collection of stories, Where the Jackals Howl (1965) to his autofictional novel A Tale of Love and Darkness (2002). Throughout the tumultuous first five decades of Israel's Independence, Oz's oeuvre consistently expressed an implicit tale of darkness. Darkness is the key figure of the national abyss in Oz's literature. As a political category, Oz's interpretation of darkness bears the traces of postcolonial literature, where darkness is a root metaphor; as a poetic principle, darkness holds the unsaid within the literary text. Marking the unsaid, darkness turns to be a recall for depth hermeneutics, as it acknowledges “the hidden” as a core category of meaning in national literatures.

Authors: Sol Sánchez Angel , Salvador Hernández Margarito , Zaldivar Cruz Juan Manuel , Del Rivero Bautista Nydia , Sanchez Gutierrez Facundo 
Published: October 2024

Objective: To characterize the current condition of home gardens in the Ejido Nueva Esperanza 1st Section,Palenque, Chiapas.Methodology: A semi-structured interview was conducted with 43 families to determine socioeconomic conditions, garden characteristics, floristic composition, and their uses (satisfaction). Gardens were categorized by size (small, medium, and large) and location (center, intermediate, and periphery of the community). Data were analyzed descriptively to obtain frequencies, percentages, and averages. Additionally, Shannon-Wiener (H') and Simpson (S) diversity indices were calculated according to size and location.Results: Families were found to be below the poverty line, with agriculture as their primary activity. A total of 3549 individuals were recorded, grouped into 46 botanical families, 82 genera, and 89 species. Native species were the most dominant at 52%. There were 33 tree species, 33 herbaceous species, 15 shrubs, 5 rosettes, and 3 arborescent species. Families reported using plants for fruit, medicinal purposes, ornamentation, horticulture, timber, condiments, fuel (firewood), and medicinal-horticultural purposes, primarily for self-consumption. The highest number of individuals recorded were fruit trees, with 28 species. Small (H´ = 2.8), intermediate(H '= 2.6), and peripheral (H´´´ =2.6) gardens showed higher diversity similar to Fisher’s alpha.Implications: This study highlights the importance of floristic composition and plant species diversity in home gardens concerning the uses attributed by families.Conclusion: The diversity and composition of plant species in home gardens are determined by their location and size, as well as the value of use that the family attaches to them
Multimodal Teaching and Learning in the EFL College Classroom
Authors: Al-Jarf Reima 
Published: October 2024

Multimodal learning refers to teaching strategies that involve multiple sensory systems simultaneously. Teachers can create materials for students with different learning styles (auditory, visual, kinesthetic reading, and writing). Multimodal learning keeps students engaged, encourages them to apply what they learn in real-life situations, provides more variety, and develops learner autonomy. This study proposes a model for developing listening, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary and grammar skills in EFL using multimodal language learning activities such as task-based, project-based, problem-solving questions, debates, and student-created podcasts and digital stories. The students can look for videos or photos related to a current global event, summarize the content, write a short paragraph about it, or post their reactions in a class blog. To develop listening and speaking skills, the students may engage in role-playing, dramatization, inviting a guest to class, conducting interviews and giving an oral presentation about a topic. To develop students’ vocabulary knowledge, vocabulary flashcards, game-based mobile apps, concordance-based glosses, online dictionaries, picture viewing and picture drawing on tablets, e-portfolios, teaching idioms via multimedia annotations and graphic novels can be used. Technologies such as Vicaroo, Kahoot, Slido and Padlet can be integrated. Multimodal learning tasks can be performed individually, in pairs or in small groups, interactively or collaboratively, synchronously or asynchronously. To engage, motivate and encourage student-student and student-instructor interaction, WhatsApp, ConnectYard, creating a community of inquiry, learning partnership, collaborative writing exchange projects, social interaction, and integrating text-chat and webcam can be used. Further multimodal activities and examples will be given.
VALERII SHEVCHUK’S STORY “THE PLAGUE” (“MOR”) AND ALBERT CAMUS’ NOVEL “THE PLAGUE”: MATCHES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF EXISTENTIALISM
Authors: Prylipko Iryna 
Published: October 2024

The paper provides a comparative analysis of V. Shevchuk’s story “The Plague” and A. Camus’ novel “The Plague,” tracing both the common and differing features of the works in terms of worldviews, philosophical ideas, and poetics. The main focus is on the writers’ reception of ideas characteristic of existentialist philosophy, the affinity of the issues raised (such as absurdity, choice, sacrifice, suffering, duty, revolt, freedom, and limit situations), and the system of images (namely characters, cities, and the plague).
Both works combine historical, philosophical, and allegorical elements at the genre and content levels. However, a chronicle approach and a specific historical context are more pronounced in Camus’ novel “The Plague,” while V. Shevchuk’s story is based more on mystical and unreal elements, reflecting his dominant idiostyle known as neo-baroque poetics. The images in the works of A. Camus and V. Shevchuk are related and grounded in the philosophical ideas of existentialism, particularly the idea of choice. The heroes of both works make moral choices that demonstrate their revolt against absurdity, resistance to evil in all its forms, and, despite the endless struggle, give purpose to their paths, filling life with meaning.
The image of the city in A. Camus’ novel, in contrast to V. Shevchuk’s work, has clear time-space coordinates and a distinct historical context. In both works, the city appears as a closed space where absurdity reigns and a person is faced with the necessity of choice, revealing their true nature. Such circumstances allow for the representation of simulated types of behavior in limit situations. In both A. Camus’ novel and V. Shevchuk’s story, the image of the plague has a specific historical meaning (fascism in Camus’ “The Plague” and totalitarianism in Shevchuk’s work) and plays a role in a philosophical parable (metaphysical evil and evil as a part of the human inner world). Both the French and Ukrainian authors tend to similarly assess human behavior in an absurd world.
Discovery of plasma biomarkers related to blood-brain barrier dysregulation in Alzheimer’s disease
Authors: Dan Yuet Ruh , Chiam Keng-Hwee 
Published: October 2024

IntroductionBlood-based biomarkers are quantitative, non-invasive diagnostic tools. This study aimed to identify candidate biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using publicly available omics datasets, using the hypothesis that with blood-brain barrier dysfunction in AD, brain-synthesized proteins can leak into plasma for detection.MethodsDifferential abundance results of plasma and brain proteomic datasets were integrated to obtain a list of potential biomarkers. Biological validity was investigated with intercellular communication and gene regulatory analyses on brain single-cell transcriptomics data.ResultsFive proteins (APOD, B2M, CFH, CLU, and C3) fit biomarker criteria. 4 corresponding transcripts (APOD, B2M, CLU, and C3) were overexpressed in AD astrocytes, mediated by AD-related dysregulations in transcription factors regulating neuroinflammation. Additionally, CLU specifically induced downstream expression of neuronal death genes.DiscussionIn conclusion, a 5-protein panel is shown to effectively identify AD patients, with evidence of disease specificity and biological validity. Future research should investigate the mechanism of protein leakage through the blood-brain barrier.
