EXPLORING GRADE 7 STUDENTS’ SECOND LANGUAGE DIFFICULTIES: IMPLICATIONS FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING
Authors: Gruta Realyn A. , Astillero Susan F. 
Published: June 2024

This study investigated the second language difficulties of Grade 7 students in one national high school in Sorsogon province, Philippines, S.Y. 2023-2024. Specifically, it identified the grammatical errors of students in their narrative essays along with subject-verb agreement and verb tenses. It determined the second language difficulties leading to their grammatical errors and their implications for language teaching and learning. Based on the 45 essays analyzed by the 15 students, the results showed that the grammatical errors identified were along the verb tense, which ranked highest (66%), and subject-verb agreement (42%), indicating a high level of students’ writing difficulty. Several linguistic difficulties that contributed to these errors were vocabulary gaps, limited knowledge of grammatical rules, syntactic differences between the students’ local language (L1) and English language (L2), the challenging learning environment, lack of resources, distractions, and insufficient family support. The students’ L2 difficulties may have implications for teaching and learning, particularly in terms of communicative effectiveness, reading comprehension, shift in teaching approach, and balancing formal and communicative activities.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0977/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
UNVEILING THE ESSENCE OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF KARL JASPERS’ EXISTENTIAL APPROACH
Authors: Tran Thi Thao 
Published: June 2024

This paper critically assesses Karl Jaspers’ existential viewpoint concerning the fundamental nature of university education. In a contemporary context where the pursuit of credentials prevails, Jaspers challenges traditional paradigms by underscoring the university’s distinctive role beyond the mere acquisition of job-related skills. The abstract delves into Jaspers’ critique of an education system fixated on efficiency, advocating for the cultivation of intellectual life and existential awareness. Through a thorough analysis, the article reexamines the objective of university education, transcending the narrow focus on credentials to embrace a comprehensive vision that aligns with Jaspers’ philosophical principles. Practical insights for applying Jaspers’ philosophy in contemporary educational settings are presented, facilitating a transition towards a more purposeful and contemplative academic experience. The research methodology employed encompasses narrative analysis and philosophical inquiry.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0787/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Lanzoni Gabriel Vinicius , Fiedler Lígia , Miecoanski Flávia Regina 
Published: June 2024

O Brasil como um grande produtor agrícola apresenta níveis elevados uso de agrotóxicos em suas produções, sendo iminente o risco do descarte de forma inadequada das embalagens desses produtos, poluindo o meio ambiente. Por esse motivo o produtor rural deve saber exatamente como fazer o descarte ou devolução das embalagens já utilizadas de modo correto. Este trabalho tem por objetivo principal verificar como é realizada a logística reversa das embalagens de agrotóxicos na cidade de Maringá e região. Para tanto, foi realizada uma entrevista com a coordenadora da central de recolhimento dessas embalagens, localizada na cidade de Maringá, que atende a cidade e outros municípios da região noroeste, representando 25% do descarte de todo o estado do Paraná. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstram que o setor de planejamento da central de recolhimento faz com que essa operação, que começa com os produtores rurais, e segue até o recebimento nas centrais, possui grande importância ambiental e necessita de financiamento por parte das indústrias e revendas para se manter ativa.
Joystick-Operated Ride-On Toy Navigation Training for Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy: A Pilot Study
Authors: Srinivasan Sudha , Amonkar Nidhi , Kumavor Patrick D. , Bubela Deborah , Morgan Kristin 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Importance: Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) require intensive task-oriented training to make meaningful gains in affected upper extremity (UE) motor function.
Objective: To evaluate the acceptability and utility of single joystick-operated ride-on toy (ROT) navigation training incorporated into a modified constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) camp for children with HCP.
Design: Single group pretest–posttest design.
Setting: Three-wk structured CIMT camp.
Participants: Eleven children with HCP between ages 3 and 14 yr.
Intervention: Children received group-based CIMT for 6 hr/day, 5 days/wk, for 3 wk. As part of camp activities, children also received ROT navigation training for 20 to 30 min/day, 5 days/wk, for 3 wk.
Outcomes and Measures: We assessed children’s acceptance of ROT training by monitoring adherence and evaluating child engagement (affect and attention) during training sessions. The effects of ROT training combined with other camp activities on children’s affected UE motor function were also assessed with the standardized Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) and training-specific measures of ROT maneuvering accuracy.
Results: Children demonstrated high levels of training adherence, positive affect, and task-appropriate attention across weeks. Positive engagement during ROT sessions was correlated with independent navigation. We also found medium- to large-sized improvements in QUEST scores and toy-maneuvering capabilities after the combined program.
Conclusions and Relevance: Our pilot data support the use of joystick-operated ROTs as child-friendly therapy adjuncts that can be incorporated into intensive UE training programs to improve adherence and motivation in therapy programs, boost treatment dosing, and promote affected UE motor function in children with HCP.
Plain-Language Summary: This pilot study offers promising evidence that supports the use of modified single joystick–operated ride-on toys (ROTs) for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP). The study used ROTs as one of several interventions that were part of a constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) camp program for children with HCP. The ROTs boosted children’s motivation, their engagement with and adherence to training, and their practice in using their affected upper extremity (UE) for goal-directed activities in their natural settings. ROTs are accessible, age-appropriate, and easy-to-use devices for both occupational therapy clinicians and families to encourage children to use their affected UEs by challenging their perceptual, motor-planning, problem-solving, and movement-control skills in an enjoyable and engaging way. ROTs can be used within and outside conventional rehabilitation settings.

Perkembangan teknologi menjadi peluang bisnis dan mengubah pandangan masyarakat terhadap dunia digital. Namun, penggunaan teknologi secara bijak di Indonesia masih sulit dijangkau oleh masyarakat desa maupun masyarakat yang masih minim akan literasi keuangan. Terdapat ribuan kasus terkait masalah pinjaman online yang tidak resmi yang biasanya menyerang para pelaku usaha yang minim akan literasi keuangan. Hal tersebut sangat berkaitan dengan para pelaku Usaha Mikro, Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM) di Desa Curungrejo yang memiliki sumber daya yang melimpah. Hampir 99% dari para pengusaha di Indonesia adalah bagian dari sektor UMKM. Indonesia dengan mayoritas penduduknya beragama Islam sebanyak 237,53 juta jiwa atau 86,9% dari populasi penduduk di Indonesia. Sehingga, sudah sepatutnya para pelaku usaha di Indonesia mengamalkan nilai-nilai Islam di kehidupan sehari-hari. Penerapan ekonomi syariah berdasarkan berbagai akad seperti akad mudharabah, murabahah, musyarakah, wadhi’ah, ijarah, dsb. Oleh karena itu pentingnya sosialisasi terkait ekonomi syariah dalam upaya memperkuat prinsip syariah pada setiap pelaku usaha didampingi dengan pengetahuan akan keuangan yang dapat mencegah terjadinya hal-hal buruk seperti terjerat kasus pinjaman online yang tidak resmi. Hasil pelaksanaan pengabdian menunjukkan antusiasme masyarakat yang menyatakan komitmen untuk beralih menggunakan system keuangan dan pembiayaan Syariah dalam membantu permodalan usaha mereka karena faktor keamanan dan kepastian hukum dan perspektif Syariah mengingat bahwa masyarakat Desa Curungrejo didominasi oleh muslim. Dalam jangka panjang, implementasi tersebut akan membantu perekonomian warga Desa Curungrejo yang memiliki output untuk meningkatan pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia.
Mortality of working-age physicians compared to other high-skilled occupations in Austria from 1998 to 2020
Authors: Zimmermann Claudia , Waldhoer Thomas , Schernhammer Eva , Strohmaier Susanne 
Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVES: Physicians have been shown to have lower mortality compared to the general population, particularly regarding lifestyle-associated causes of death. Prior literature is divided on whether this is due to higher socioeconomic position (SEP), healthier lifestyle, or other specific occupational characteristics. This study analyzed the mortality of Austrian physicians compared to the general population and other (health) professionals with a similar SEP, and investigated patterns of lifestyle-associated mortality among physicians.
METHODS: Data from professional associations and cause-of-death statistics were collated to determine causes of death for all occupational groups. Gender-specific age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) and standardized rate ratios (SRR) were calculated to compare main causes of death [cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), external causes] among physicians to other (health) professionals and the general population. Standardized mortality ratios (SMR) were calculated for more detailed causes of death in physicians compared to the general population.
RESULTS: Physicians had lower all-cause mortality than the general population [SRR 0.45, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.41–0.49 for males and SRR 0.60, 95% CI 0.54–0.66 for females] and health professionals (SRR 0.72, 95% CI 0.60–0.88 for males and SRR 0.77, 95% CI 0.63–0.93 for females), mostly due to low CVD and cancer mortality. SMR for detailed causes of death among physicians exhibited a pattern of particularly low mortality in lifestyle-associated causes of death and an increased SMR for suicide among female physicians (SMR 1.58, 95% CI 1.22–2.02).
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirmed lower mortality among physicians compared to the general population and compared to other (health) professionals. Low physician mortality can be primarily explained by lifestyle-associated causes of death.

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
This article is aimed at revealing the theme of the Chornobyl disaster as an apocalypse in the lyrical works of Ukrainian poets. The prerequisites for the development of the phenomenon of the “post-Chornobyl library” are revealed, the works of outstanding sixtiers (Ivan Drach, Lina Kostenko, Borys Oliynyk, and Dmytro Pavlychko) are considered, the elements that are called to the accident at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant are highlighted, and an imagery analysis of the selected works is carried out. Discourses about the catastrophe, apocalypse, and postapocalypse are highlighted to demonstrate Chornobyl, in lyrics and lyrical epic, as the largest man-made environmental and humanitarian tragedy. The connection between the Chornobyl discourse in literature and criticism of the Soviet regime as a manifestation of inhumanity and totalitarianism is revealed. An array of ecological poetry of lesser-known authors is processed and their contribution to the poetry of the paradigm is indicated, and a detailed analysis of the ecological lyrics of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries by authors Nina Hnatiuk, Tetiana Yakovenko, and Valentyna Storozhuk is carried out.
