THE WAYS AND STRATEGIES OF USING REALIA IN VOCABULARY CLASSES

The article presents theoretically based opinions about the methods, technologies and strategies of using realia in vocabulary lessons. Also, its role in linguistics, the difference between realia units and other lexical units is revealed. The relationship of realia units with the people's way of life, worldview and culture and their role in increasing the vocabulary and reflecting the national color is explained.

Coping, connection appraisal, and well-being during COVID-19 in the U.S., Japan, and Mexico.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected nearly every facet of life, constituting a "new normal" and prompting an ongoing collective psychological crisis. People's ways of coping with the pandemic and corresponding well-being are of particular research interest; however, these constructs have largely been examined using deductive quantitative approaches, deficit-based lenses, and mononational samples. The current mixed-methods study used inductive-sequential (QUAL → QUAN) approaches to explore positive coping strategies (approach coping style and COVID-related connection appraisal) and well-being (loneliness, distress, and happiness) across individuals from the United States, Japan, and Mexico. Qualitative data were gathered from N = 141 U.S., Japanese, and Mexican adults to examine how people perceived connection during the pandemic. Qualitative analyses illuminated common themes in which people appraised the pandemic as an opportunity for connection and strengthened interpersonal relationships. Quantitative measures, including a newly-developed questionnaire on COVID-related connection appraisal, were then administered to a separate sample of N = 302 adults in the U.S, Japan, and Mexico to assess associations among approach coping style, COVID-related connection appraisal, and well-being outcomes (loneliness, distress, happiness). Quantitative analyses found significant associations among approach coping style, COVID-related connection appraisal, and all well-being outcomes. Of note, these associations did not differ by country. COVID-related connection appraisal mediated the relationship between approach coping style and two well-being outcomes (loneliness and happiness). Findings point to approach coping style and connection appraisal as pathways for resilience and growth in the face of global suffering.

Efektifitas Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) Dalam Meningkatkan Partisipasi Masyarakat “Studi Kasus Pada Masyarakat Desa Pagaran Tonga, Padang Lawas Utara”

Community Participation is a form of community participation to allocate their interests in the process of preparing activity plans to be implemented. Community participation is very important, so it really needs to be increased. Increasing community participation has various challenges, this is due to the diversity of people's own ways of thinking. Many things influence people's way of thinking, including environmental factors, educational background, and circle of friends. Therefore, researchers were interested in studying the issue of community participation, so the discussion topic was chosen, namely Increasing Community Participation. The method used is the PAR (Participatory Action Research) method where the entire community participates in the implementation of this research. The results obtained in carrying out the KKN 41 STAIN MADINA work programs achieved 90% results and were declared successful. This can be seen from the changes that occur in society.

Keterampilan Metakognitif Siswa Kelas XI SMA NW Mataram Pada Matapelajaran Biologi

Metacognitive skills are one of the skills that can influence people's lives and ways of thinking regarding self-management. This research aims to describe students' metacognitive abilities, especially in class XI biology subjects at Nahdlatul Wathan Mataram High School, which consists of classes XI MIA and XI IIS. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire by looking at metacognitive skills from three aspects, namely planning, monitoring and evaluation. Based on these three aspects, it shows that class XI students at NW Mataram High School do not have low category metacognitive skills or are not well developed. Based on the results of the questionnaire scoring, it was found that on average students answered sometimes or never. This shows that their awareness of planning, monitoring and evaluating their learning process is very low and of course this also has an impact on learning outcomes. This is what requires teachers to be able to implement learning that can develop students' metacognitive skills, so that learning outcomes will increase.

HipHop2SToP a community-led health promotion initiative empowering Aboriginal youth in the Kimberley region of Western Australia: a process evaluation.

For millennia, Aboriginal people's ways of knowing, doing and being were shared through art, song, and dance. Colonisation silenced these ways, affecting loss of self-determination for Aboriginal people. Over the past decade in Australia, hip-hop projects have become culturally appropriate approaches for health promotion. When community led, and Aboriginal worldviews centralised, hip-hop workshops are more likely to be effective. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, a community-led health promotion hip-hop music video, 'HipHop2SToP' was produced involving young people in Dampier Peninsula communities address healthy skin and healthy living practices. We report here a qualitative process evaluation of the HipHop2SToP project. Participants who had been involved in the planning and production of HipHop2SToP were selected using a purposive approach and invited either by email or face-to-face to participate in semi-structured interviews and share their experiences. Semi-structured interviews ranged from 30 to 60 min in duration and were conducted either face-to-face or virtually over MS Teams. Due to personal time constraints, two participants provided written responses to the semi-structured questions. All interviews were audio-recorded with consent and saved as a digital recording in a de-identified format. All audio recordings were transcribed verbatim and uploaded into QSR NVivo v12 along with written responses. As a health promotion project, the critical success factors were community-ownership and discovering novel ways to collaborate virtually with remote communities using Microsoft (MS) software. Highlights included observing the young people actively engaged in the project and their catchy lyrics and key messaging for environmental health and skin infections. COVID-19 presented some challenges. Gaps in communication, clarification of stakeholder roles and expectations, and post-production outcomes were also identified as challenges. HipHop2SToP validates the need for Aboriginal community led health promotion programs. While creating some challenges COVID-19 also strengthened community ownership and created novel ways of maintaining relationships with remote Aboriginal communities. Future hip-hop projects would benefit from clarity of roles and responsibilities. Strengthening post-production outcomes by including a launch and well-planned, targeted communication and dissemination strategy will ensure the wider translation of important health messages and potential strengthen sustainability.

Traditions and Myths of Kajang People in South Sulawesi

The research aimed to elaborate the myths following traditions in explicit connection with the Kajang indigenous people's dwellings and way of life. The existence of Kajang indigenous people was known for preserving their traditions with austerity. Clinging to their traditional belief system, Pasang ri Kajang was used to protect their sacred forest and natural environment. Some myths still seemed relevant and took part actively in their everyday lives. This was an empirical qualitative research, with the researcher directly visiting the location to experience the cultural situation and the people of Kajang. First-hand experience, photographing, hand sketching, interviews, and focus group discussions were employed to collect data. Analyzing the characteristics of the Kajang area from the maps, narrative analysis for the interview, focus group discussion, sketches, manual notes, photographs, and cross-analysis from literature studies resulted in the difference between inner and outer Kajang. It is found that eight practical conducts closely related to the myths are elaborated, such as oral communication, no electricity, no clay roof tile, no footwear, no colorful clothes, no decoration or modern material, orientation of buildings, and odd numbering and time calculation. Some limitations and suggestions are also presented.

Era Disrupsi Digital pada Perkembangan Teknologi di Indonesia

The Digital Era is a time where information can be accessed and disseminated very easily using digital technology. Globally, technology is present to help humans carry out various activities. So the era of technological disruption is something that needs to be faced. In order to continue to be able to provide the best for individuals and community groups in the business world, it is necessary to carry out various innovations and improve the quality of skills. The aim of this literature research is to find out how the era of digital disruption has affected technological development in Indonesia. The research method used is descriptive theoretical study, namely a method that discusses several possibilities for solving actual problems by collecting data, compiling or classifying them, analyzing and interpreting them with existing theories and comparing them from literature sources. The research results show that the era of digital disruption in Indonesia has developed and has entered the modern era, such as digital technology disruption in the fields of health, finance and education. It can be concluded that digital disruption is an innovation that changes people's way of life and thinking patterns, changes company work culture, or even creates new markets that have never existed before. So it has positive and negative impacts with the era of digital disruption. Therefore, if it is not faced with the right strategy, technological disruption can threaten conventional businesses and threaten industrial markets. In facing technological/digital disruption, companies need to improve the quality of more modern technology so that they are not left behind and can compete with industry and companies as well as improving the quality of human resources.

Reciprocal spaces: The socio‐material life of balconies in urban Egypt

Abstract“Reciprocal spaces,” such as windows and balconies, connect the vertical and the horizontal, enable the flow of meanings and feelings, and join with other material artifacts to unite emotionally and socially those who are spatially distant, and socially and emotionally distance those who are spatially proximate. Cairo's balconies reveal that reciprocal spaces allow the gaze to be reoriented, the meaning to be circulated, and the feeling to be shared. They blur the distinction between the subject and the object, the observer and the observed, and the high and the low. Drawing on long‐term ethnographic research in Cairo and informed by the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Karen Barad, this paper shows that the balcony is entangled with other objects, spaces, and people in ways that materialize the socio‐economic hierarchies (especially class and gender), which structure daily practices and constitute urban subjects. Incorporating balconies in ethnographic research, this paper argues, enables us to be in the city while thinking of the city, undermining a dichotomy that has long troubled urban anthropology.

"What it is like to be human": The existential dimension of care as perceived by professionals caring for people approaching death.

Existential/spiritual questions often arise when a person suffers from a serious and/or life-threatening illness. "Existential" can be seen as a broad inclusive term for issues surrounding people's experience and way of thinking about life. To be able to meet patients' existential needs, knowledge is needed about what the existential dimension includes. The aim of this study was to investigate how professionals caring for people with life-threatening disease perceive the existential dimension of care. This study is based on a mixed method design utilizing a digital survey with open- and closed-ended questions. Descriptive statistics were applied to closed-ended questions and a qualitative descriptive approach was used for the responses to the open-ended questions. Healthcare professionals at specialized palliative care units, an oncology clinic and municipal healthcare within home care and a nursing home in Sweden answered the survey. Responses from 77 professionals expressed a broad perspective on existential questions such as thoughts about life and death. Identifying existential needs and performing existential care was considered a matter of attitude and responsiveness and thus a possible task for any professional. Existential needs centered around the opportunity to communicate, share thoughts and experiences, and be seen and heard. Existential care was connected to communication, sharing moments in the present without doing anything and was sometimes described as embedded in professionals' ordinary care interventions. The existential dimension was considered important by the majority of respondents. This study indicates that with the right attitude and responsiveness, all professionals can potentially contribute to existential care, and that existential care can be embedded in all care. The existential dimension of care can also be considered very important by health professionals in a country that is considered secular.

Analysis The Effectiveness of E-Court System at The Religious Court of Bangil Based on Simple Principles Quickly and Low Cost

A system can be declared successful if its application in the field has achieved predetermined objectives. The Supreme Court as the highest agency in the judicial sphere has issued a system to register cases and trials in court electronically, one of which is the Bangil Religious Court. The purpose of the study was to determine the application of the e-court system in the examination of cases at the Bangil Religious Court and to determine the effectiveness of the e-court system at the Bangil Religious Court. Research methods used by researchers are sociological empirical research methods that describe the actual environmental conditions of society supported by data and facts obtained by conducting interviews and observations. The results showed that: 1) The examination of cases at the Bangil Religious Court has not fully implemented the examination of cases using the e-court system because one of the agendas for examining cases in the trial, namely the agenda of evidence, is still carried out manually. 2) Effectiveness of e-court system implementation The Bangil Religious Court cannot run effectively because 4 factors of legal effectiveness cannot be met, namely Law Enforcement Factors there are obstacles experienced by judges in the verification process in the e-court system, Facilities and Infrastructure Factors related to network system constraints from the center and facilities that are less attractive to the community, Community Factors that do not understand technological developments, Cultural Factors The difficulty of transitioning people's way of life from conventional to electronic. The factor that is fulfilled is Law Enforcement Factors evidenced by the issuance of PERMA Number 1 of 2019. Suggestion that the Supreme Court improve network repair and maintenance on the e-court system to avoid system errors at certain times and often conduct socialization related to e-court renewal.

Learning Motivation Affects the Effectiveness of Online Self-Regulated Learning

Under the rapid changes in society, the network has changed people's way of life, but also changed the way students learn. Online self-regulated learning more and more received the favor of colleges and universities, but the learning effect is sometimesunsatisfactory, due to the students' weak learning motivation psychology, so this paper on the motivation psychology for the impact of online self-regulated learning effectiveness, to start the discussion.

Men have to be competent in something, women need to show their bodies. Gender, digital youth cultures and popularity

ABSTRACT Social media represents a significant part of digital youth culture, providing young people with models, symbolic resources, and space for self-presentation and reputation management. This study explored how the ideal of entrepreneurialism, which marks the social media logic of attention and visibility, is appropriated by young people in ways that allow them to challenge or reaffirm traditional gender and sexual norms. This research was based on empirical material collected through online workshops involving 12 Italian schools (42 classes and about 900 students), in which we asked participants to join in an activity to create fictional accounts that could become popular with their peers. Our analysis shows that young people discursively construct gender and sexual norms, frequently reproducing dominant cultural discourses on gender and heteronormativity. Young people’s discourse focuses on the apparent feminization of the internet and a perception of social media platforms as belonging to the female sphere. The feminization of the internet leads to a discourse that concerns men’s need to link technical competence, professionalism, and masculinity in order to perpetuate the stereotypical portrayal of women as bearers of an innate sexual power that compensates for their perceived lack of digital skills.

Technological Adaptation Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Internet has transformed people's way of life and their access to education in the 21st century. The use of digital technologies in education has become extremely prevalent. The teaching-learning environment has shifted dramatically with the advent of ICT. Although some institutions are still wedged to traditional teaching learning procedures, refusing to incorporate technological tools in their teaching and learning. Their teaching-learning is based on old techniques. The unexpected outburst of Covid-19 in March 2020 shuttered the entire world. This sudden outbreak revolutionizes the whole educational procedures overnights. Many academic institutions that were earlier resistant to use ICT in teaching-learning were compelled to use digital technologies in their teaching-learning process, the only option available. The article focused on the importance of ICT tools in the teaching and learning process, with accompanying challenges of the implementation. It further suggested ideas for teachers and learners about how to cope with these difficulties and obstacles.

Inside a jaguar's jaws

AbstractInspired by the case of a jaguar raised as a pet by some paramilitary warlords, this article discusses how armed conflict encompasses more‐than‐human realities, becoming a hybrid experience capable of dislocating the borders between environmental and social processes, predation and warfare, human and nonhuman agency, and subjects and objects. It draws attention to a pervasive form of damage—afterlives—that stays with people in ways that compel us to reconsider wartime and the delivery of justice in places, such as traditional Afro‐Colombian territories, that are palpably made of entangled relationships between the human and nonhuman.

A Case Study of the Subtitle of Yao-Chinese Folktales: From the Perspective of Multimodal Discourse Analysis

With the rapid development of information today, people's way of communication has undergone tremendous changes. Language is no longer the only way for people to communicate. From the perspective of social semiotics, language symbols in the process of meaning construction no longer occupy an absolute dominant position. Images, sounds, gestures, animation, color, and other non-verbal social symbols in the ideogram process play an important role. Thus, the isolated study of a sign mode can not explain the full meaning of the discourse. It is in this context that multimodal discourse analysis emerged. Film or television works are not only pure texts but also contain color, music, performance, etc., which make the multimodal characteristics more obvious and constitute the multimodal discourse of subtitle translation. Therefore, studying subtitle translation from the perspective of multimodality could evaluate the quality of translation in a more comprehensive way. Starting from this perspective, this paper applies Zhang Delus theoretical framework of multimodal discourse analysis to analyze the subtitle translation of Yao-Chinese Folktales from four dimensions: culture, context, content, and expression, to understand the influence of multimodal on subtitle translation.

Design of a Big Data-based Evaluation System for Teacher-Student Cooperation in College English Writing

INTRODUCTION: With the constant change in information technology, people have entered the era of big data, and the reforms brought about by the era of big data have profoundly affected people's way of life and learning. English writing is one of the four basic skills for mastering English, and the skilful mastery of writing is an essential form of accurate expression in English. Different from the traditional teaching modes of "separate assessment of teaching" and "separate assessment of learning", "cooperative assessment between teachers and students" is a new type of assessment mode proposed by professors at the National University in recent years. This cooperative evaluation model advocates the combination of the teaching and evaluation processes and the evaluation and learning processes. In the cooperative evaluation model, evaluation is considered an extension of the teaching process, and the evaluation process itself is also a school process. The arrival of the significant data era also brings new opportunities and challenges for university English teacher-student cooperative evaluation.
 OBJECTIVES: We design a university English writing teacher-student cooperative evaluation system based on big data by combining big data with the teacher-student cooperative evaluation.
 METHODS: All college English writing classes in one university were selected as the background for ample data research, and with the help of theoretical knowledge and technology related to big data, a model was constructed to analyze the factors affecting the cooperative evaluation system of college English writing teachers and students.
 RESULTS: The university English writing teacher-student cooperation evaluation system is analyzed and summarized using big data.
 CONCLUSION: By using big data to analyze the evaluation of college English writing teacher-student cooperation, big data can better help teachers understand the weaknesses of students' knowledge points and better help students improve their English proficiency.

From Mulberry Street to Market Street: childness matters

In 2016, Last Stop on Market Street, an American picturebook by Matt de la Pena, won the Newberry Medal, a Caldecott Honor, and a Coretta Scott King illustrator honor. In March 2021, Dr Seuss Enterprises, after working “with a panel of experts, including educators,” decided to cease publishing And to Think I Saw in on Mulberry Street (1937) along with five other books that “portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.” Both decisions seem to have been motivated by a strong commitment to a contemporary critical multicultural perspective (Yenika-Agbaw, 2022). In this paper, I will explore another perspective through which we might assess the quality and potential impact these and other texts might have on child readers. Drawing on Peter Hollindale’s (1997) contention that a children’s book acts as the vehicle for a reading event during which readers form or reform their ideas of the social construction of childhood and their place within that construction, I will examine how these books portray “childness,” defined by Hollindale as both a distinguishing property of a text and what a reader brings to the reading. As these texts offer snapshots of what it means to be a child in two different times and contexts, I argue that the constructions of childhood in children’s books have changed significantly in the twenty-first century. I will use multimodal discourse analysis and critical content analysis to query the degree to which these texts are “childly” (a term of respect for Hollindale, as opposed to childish) by focusing on notions of the imagination, diverse representation, and adult/child relations.

Using Convolutional Neural Network for Detection of Face Mask

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a sweeping impact across the globe, resulting in enormous economic losses and significant changes to people's way of life. Despite the World Health Organization's (WHO) assertion that the COVID-19 pandemic will conclude by 2023 and people's lives will begin to settle down, the possibility of a resurgence of the virus cannot be overlooked. In crowded public places, it is essential to have a system that can rapidly and accurately detect whether people are wearing masks and adhering to proper usage protocols. Therefore, it is crucial to make necessary preparations for such a system. Fortunately, there have been notable advancements in facial recognition technology, which can aid in this endeavor. This paper aims to build a model for face-mask-detection with convolutional neural network to help perform a rapid mask-wearing check and carry out the system model training with a final accuracy reaching 0.95. In the end, high accuracy is observed in the classification of correctly wearing masks and incorrectly wearing masks, demonstrating that the model is capable to identify whether people wear masks and wear correctly with the final accuracy reaching 0.97.
