Asian = machine, Black = animal? The racial asymmetry of dehumanization.

How different racial minorities experience racism differently remains underexplored in existing research. Here, we show that Asian and Black people are often dehumanized differently. Twelve studies spotlight a racial asymmetry in dehumanization using a wide array of methods (experimental, archival, and computational) and data sources (online samples, word embeddings, and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data): Whereas Black people are more often subjected to animalistic dehumanization, Asian people are predominantly subjected to mechanistic dehumanization. We demonstrate this asymmetry from the vantage point of victims (Studies 1a and 1b) and perpetrators (Studies 2a-2d). We further document the prevalence of this asymmetry across diverse domains, from everyday language (Study 3) to perceptions in the realms of romantic relationships (Study 4a), crime rates (Study 4b), and business skills (Study 4c). Finally, we demonstrate the asymmetry's real-world consequences in labor market segregation (Studies 5 and 6). Our findings shed light on the distinct experiences of racism encountered by different racial groups and, more critically, introduce a framework that unifies and integrates scattered empirical observations on perceptions of Asian people.

An Information-Theoretic Approach to Morphosyntactic Complexity in English, Dutch and German

ABSTRACT Though equi-complexity of languages has long been an assumption in the study of language, recent research has argued that languages differ with regard to their morphological complexity. Some languages rely more on bound morphology to express grammatical meanings, whereas other languages rely more on lexical or word-order-based strategies. It is a moot point to what extent these differences correlate with demographic factors such as population size and language contact, and how complexity should be measured. In this study, we use information-theory, more specifically Kolmogorov Complexity, to assess morphological and word-order-based strategies and apply the procedure to three West Germanic languages, English, Dutch and German, which have been argued to form a continuum along the morphological complexity cline, plausibly due to different rates of demographic upheaval and concomitant language contact. Tracing the morphological and word-order-based complexity through time in parallel Bible translations, our results show that English is consistently less morphologically complex than its sisters, continuing on its path of morphological simplification. We see a statistically robust trade-off between morphology and word order complexity. We find support for earlier findings in the literature, with the exception of the difference between Dutch and German, which does not transpire in our results.

The Relationship Between Language and The Creation of Ethnic Identities of Tai Loei in The Northeastern of Thailand

This research paper aims to study the relationship between language and the ethnic identity formation process of Tai Loei people in northeastern Thailand by applying the study of language and identity framework as the key concepts for analysing the language data of Tai Loei people used in daily communication and the Tai Loei language data contained in written documents. The study results showed that 1) the characteristics of the sound of Loei ethnic groups have syllable structures as follows: (1) CVT, 2) CVCT, 3) CV:T, 4) CV:CT, 5) CVVT, 6) CVVCT, and 7) CCV:CT.The phonemes of Tai Loei appear in 3 phonemes, which are consonant phonemes, vowel phonemes, and tone phonemes. However, the researcher found that the end of the word, according to Thai grammar, is an adverb such as “Na,” while Tai Loei uses the words “Ko” and “Unneaw”. As for the issue of the ethnic identity of the Tai Loei people, the history of the city is found in relation to the Tai Loei ethnic language, traditions, and cultures, which contain myths, tales, and stories. The ethnic identity of the Tai Loei people was found to be 1) the ethnic group name “Tai Loei,”The name of goods and services with the expression of the ethnic identity of Tai Loei people 3) The naming of the Red Cross Festival and the expression of ethnic identity of Tai Loei people. In terms of communication ethnography in the comedy show in Isan (speak Tai Loei), the communication events of ethnic groups in the social space are observed. The communication content and the sequence of the speech in terms of the presentation of Tai Loei representations in the cultural society from the traditions, language, and media interestingly show the dimension of the relationship between language and the establishment of the ethnic identity of Tai Loei people in the Thailand area.

РЕАЛІЗАЦІЯ ДИФЕРЕНЦІЙОВАНОГО ПІДХОДУ ПРИ НАВЧАННІПРОГРАМУВАННЮ МОВОЮ PYTHON ЗДОБУВАЧІВЗАГАЛЬНОЇ СЕРЕДНЬОЇ ОСВІТИ

Students choose their future path starting from school. The learner can determine their abilities when they genuinely understand their potential and prospects in a specific subject or direction. A differentiated approach helps explore the limits of knowledge and encourages its expansion. The paper discusses the implementation of a differentiated approach in teaching computer science, particularly in programming. Tasks are proposed to students, emphasizing the method of solving. Each learner chooses the method that suits them best. Evaluation criteria are provided in advance, helping students identify the aspects of the task to focus on. An example task demonstrating the implementation of a differentiated approach involves calculating the recommended body weight for a woman and a man using the Broca's Formula. Depending on the complexity chosen by the student, this task can be solved using a linear structure, applying branching, or developing a widget. Widgets allow students to demonstrate the use of libraries and functions in the Python programming language. Various solutions in Python and recommendations for the placement of such tasks in the study of a specific topic are also provided. During the defense, all students become acquainted with different task implementations, allowing each student to understand various execution methods and choose a more challenging one next time. The presented example can be extended to other topics, in the study of other programming languages or programming environments. Prospects for further research include developing a system of multi-level programming tasks for the purpose of implementing differentiated learning

Co-designing assessment tasks with students in tertiary education: a scoping review of the literature

Traditional assessment methods in tertiary education may not suit students’ diverse learning needs, values, and preferences. Co-designing assessment with students may engage them more effectively. This scoping review determined assessment co-design processes employed in tertiary education, evaluated the impacts on student learning outcomes and key factors contributing to effective assessment co-design. Seven databases were searched, limited to human studies in English language published between 2003–2023, with records screened by two reviewers. Data were presented in tabular form and a narrative synthesis. From 6233 records identified, 51 articles were included. Three main assessment co-design processes were: co-design of assessment rubrics and marking criteria; assessment co-design with larger student groups (e.g. via multiple-choice question pools and co-creation workshops); and intensive assessment co-design with smaller groups. Positive student outcomes included increased assessment literacy, student autonomy, engagement and interest and development of professional and learning skills. Staff support and effective communication between team members were some key enablers, while some barriers included time constraints and student resistance to participation. There were diverse co-design processes and outcomes from assessment co-design across disciplines. Future research should prioritise assessment co-design with international students for inclusion and equity and graduate students to accommodate advanced learning skills.

A Cognitive Analysis of “Power”

Cognitive linguistics, as a newly established method for the study of language that emerged in the 1970s, focuses on the study of general cognitive abilities and conceptual processes of human beings. With the development of society, many new lexical items and concepts emerge, and they all need to be encoded in the form of language expression. An economical and practical way is to give a word multiple meaning. Based on the prototypical theory of cognitive linguistics, this paper analyzed the semantic network and semantic distribution of the polysemous word “power.” Fourteen senses of “power” used as nouns were collected from the Oxford Advanced English-Chinese Dictionary (9th Edition), and connections between different senses were explored by analyzing the semantic features. Meanwhile, 100 sentences containing “power” were randomly extracted from the BNC corpus to figure out the distribution of different senses. It was found that the prototypical sense and extended senses of “power” revealed the characteristics of family resemblance, and extended senses centered on the prototypical sense and extended radially outward. Among the 14 senses of “power,” the sense of “political right” is the most commonly used, while the senses of “multiplication” and “deity” are rarely used. Finally, some suggestions on the teaching of polyseme are put forward hopefully to offer valuable guidance for English learners.

INTERLINGUAL COMMUNICATIVE POTENTIAL OF ENGLISH LEXICS THROUGH THE LENSES OF ECOLINGUISTICS

The paper examines ecolinguistics as a new trend in linguistics, resulting from the study of language and the environment. The article’s relevance is determined by the insufficient amount of works on ecolinguistics and its subsystems. The purpose of the study is to establish particularities of interlinguistic communication, studied within the framework of ecolinguistics, the idea of which originated at the end of the 19th century and got its prominence at present. The research methodology is based on the theoretical works of the most prominent domestic and foreign scholars. Ecolinguistics is the result of the interaction of academic disciplines including linguistics, philosophy, psychology and cognitive studies. The formation of ecolinguistics takes place in such domains as cultural, political and scientific spheres, revealing various aspects of language interaction with the thinking process and the surroundings. The study of ecolinguistics’ evolution and functioning requires a comprehensive approach. The scope of the study includes studying ecolinguistics, clarifying the origins of this branch, presenting it in a generalized form, as well as the peculiarities of translation aimed at preserving the purity of the target language. As a donor language, English considerably enlarges the vocabulary of every language it interacts with. This is manifested in the digital translation, facilitating the process of new words, nomenclatural formations and abbreviations dissemination. The study has shown that the use of digital technologies developing in the digital world ensures the entry of the linguistic personality into the unified system of ecological space. It is concluded that lexical and grammatical units of different languages can peacefully coexist in one text without violating the integrity and harmony. It contributes to the effective interlinguistic communication determined by the ecospace of a particular language.

Instruments measuring motivation to learn Arabic as a second language: evidence of validity and reliability

As studies of second language (L2) learning and motivation typically focus on English as a foreign language (EFL), L2 motivation for Arabic has been less studied. Instruments measuring two sources of L2 Arabic motivation, identity-related motivation, and motivation arising from the L2 learning environment (L2LE), were developed and piloted among L2 Arabic learners. Pilot study results showed strong motivation due to Islamic identity and desire for cultural exposure, but also revealed speaking anxiety in the L2LE. In this study, the objectives were to determine: a) What evidence exists for or against the validity of the subscale measurements from these instruments? and b) how this evidence can be used to explain what appear to be contradictions in the pilot study results. In this mixed-methods study, instruments were administered twice to learners at an L2 Arabic learning institute in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and a sample was interviewed. Quantitative analysis showed evidence of instrument reliability, and analysis of interview data revealed several findings. First, consistent with pilot data, we found that learners, who were all Muslim, were motivated to learn L2 Arabic as part of desiring cultural and social exposure in KSA and to become closer to Islam. Interview data revealed that these learners aimed to adopt the customs and lifestyle of those in KSA as part of becoming closer to Islam, some of which they did through social interaction. Second, L2 Arabic learning of Classical Arabic (CA) at the institute was impeded by the learners’ lack of knowledge of the conversational Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) dialect, which made practical communication with those in KSA difficult. Recommendations are made for instrument improvement, as well as a strategy to incorporate some MSA instruction into the CA curriculum.

Efficacy of surgical treatments for the management of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome: a network meta-analysis.

Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is a benign and poorly understood disorder with complex management. Typical symptoms include straining during defaecation, rectal bleeding, tenesmus, mucoid secretion, anal pain and a sense of incomplete evacuation. Diagnosis is based on characteristic clinical symptoms and endoscopic/histological findings. Several treatments have been reported in the literature with variable ulcer healing rates. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of different treatments for SRUS. A systematic review and network meta-analysis were performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. Studies in English, French and Spanish languages were included. Papers written in other languages were excluded. Other exclusion criteria were reviews, case reports or clinical series enrolling less than five patients, study duplications, no clinical data of interest and no article available. A systematic literature search was conducted from January 2000 to March 2024 using the following databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Scopus. The biases of the studies were assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale or the Jadad scale when appropriate. Types of treatment and their efficacy for the cure of SRUS were collected and critically assessed. The study's primary outcome was to estimate the rate of patients with ulcer healing. A total of 22 studies with 911 patients (men 361, women 550) diagnosed with SRUS were analysed in the final meta-analysis. The pooled effect estimates of treatment efficacy revealed that surgery showed the highest ulcer healing rate (70.5%; 95% CI 0.57-0.83). Surgery was superior in the cure of ulcers with respect to medical therapies and biofeedback (OR 0.09 and OR 0.14). Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome is a challenging clinical entity to manage. Proficient results have been reported with the surgical approach, suggesting its positive role in cases refractory to medical and biofeedback therapy. Further studies in homogeneous populations are required to evaluate the efficacy of surgery in this setting. (PROSPERO registration number CRD42022331422).

Understanding the dynamics of English-speaking challenges for students in Kazakhstan

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the English-speaking challenges confronted by English as Foreign Language (EFL) students in the context of Kazakhstan, a Central Asian, post-Soviet nation, particularly focusing on the interrelation of English language fluency issues, psychological conditions and the influence of environmental factors.Design/methodology/approachThis qualitative inquiry is firmly situated in Krashen’s second language acquisition theory. The research cohort comprises ten undergraduates from the esteemed Foreign Languages and Translation Studies Department, their narratives forming the basis for data analysis. The author conducted structured interviews with the participants.FindingsThe findings demonstrate that limited language proficiency not only hinders fluency but also initiates psychological challenges, forming a difficult cycle. Additionally, environmental elements, such as interactions with teachers and peers, have both beneficial and adverse impacts on speaking improvement. Acknowledging and tackling these complex dynamics is crucial for developing focused interventions that foster a supportive learning environment conducive to enhancing language acquisition and fluency.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitation of this research is that the triangulation method in the form of additional semi-structured interviews and/or observation was not used to get more in-depth data.Practical implicationsThe study might be helpful for stakeholders to reflect on the English difficulties they experience and to prepare effective teaching and learning strategies. In particular, EFL teachers may need to use more speaking activities in lessons to help students overcome language barriers in speaking. EFL teachers might also adopt strategies such as not judging learners’ mistakes in the first phase of their language practices until they get used to speaking without any psychological blocks and paying additional attention to vocabulary and grammar knowledge in communicative lessons. EFL students may use the strategies to consciously evaluate their skills and not learn the speaking material by heart beforehand. In addition, university administration may organize regular speaking clubs for students in order to create an immersive environment. Moreover, they might require teachers to show up with their speaking capabilities before hiring English teachers, especially in English-related specialization departments.Originality/valueThe research indicates a lack of support and a judgmental environment, passive involvement in communicative pursuits and memorization as instrumental strategies for augmenting oral proficiency. These reasons have created difficulties in speaking English for students studying in English-specialized departments in Kazakhstan.

Phonological Errors Analysis in Mandarin Pronunciation by Students of the Mandarin Language Program at Hasanuddin University

Mandarin pronunciation is a crucial aspect of language acquisition, setting it apart from languages like Indonesian. Mandarin pronunciation is characterized by vowels, consonants, and tones, and errors in any of these can drastically alter word meanings. This research delves into Mandarin pronunciation errors among students in the Mandarin Language and Chinese Culture Study Program at Hasanuddin University. It comprehensively examines vowels, consonants, and tones to identify common pronunciation mistakes made by students. The research employs a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach, calculating and descriptively explaining the frequency and percentage of errors. Findings reveal that students tend to err in key areas, particularly consonants and tones, including vowel substitution, omission, addition, and difficulty identifying similar-sounding Mandarin characters. These results underscore the importance of a thorough understanding of Mandarin phonology in the context of Mandarin language learning in Indonesia.

Questioning the Status of Moral Education in the Context of EFL in Kurdistan: A Critique Review

Language education has a broader goal beyond just developing linguistic competence, yet the primary aim of ELT in Kurdistan is solely to improve linguistic ability. While modern ELT stresses language use rather than language usage. Further, with the advent of a critical orientation, ELT now has a completely new role in facilitating learners’ growth in their sense of identity and character, in conjunction with the development of their language skills. Many countries include the study of foreign languages in their curricula to prepare students for the demands of modern life. In this regard, scholars have advocated for the integration of moral education in English language education, to promote not only language acquisition but also the development of students' moral identities and sense of social and personal responsibility. This paper provides a critical review of the ELT education system in Kurdistan, emphasizing the need to move from mainstream ELT to critical ELT. Particularly, this paper examines the gap between English language education and the needs of Kurdish learners. It underlines the significance of moral education in today's globalized world and proposes integrating it with language skill development to achieve the joint objective of promoting social development and language learning in learners. Further, the goal is to bring attention to the topic of incorporating moral education into EFL and to call the educational policies to take a more proactive stance in promoting it. It is noteworthy that policymakers at the Ministry of Education have begun to change the English curricula concurrently.

The process of vowel harmony in Kurdish language in the framework of Autosegmental phonology

This study discusses the vowels harmony in Kurdish language. Vowel harmony like assimilation process is a very common process in most languages of the world. This process is studied by most phonological theories, such as generative phonology, autosegmental phonology as well as optimality theory. We examine this process from the perspective of autosegmental phonology in this paper. Therefore, we can say that the aim of this study is to investigate the process of vowel harmony in Kurdish language from the perspective of autosegmental phonology. The methodology of this study is to analyze the content of the articles and collect the data with appropriate samples. Autosegmental theory is one of the theories in the field of phonology and was first emerged by Goldsmith as an independent field of generative phonology. In 1976, along with the study of rhyme languages, he introduced autosegmental phonology and then it was published in tonal languages. This theory is actually a field or part of production phonology.

Analysis of educational needs of migrant families raising children with disabilities

Problem and purpose. In terms of increasing migration flow, it is important to provide conditions for building an open, accessible multicultural educational space. To accomplish this objective, it is required to study in detail the educational needs of migrant families. Particularly relevant are studies that involve the analysis of parents’ requests for children with disabilities to receive preschool primary and basic education. The purpose of the study is to analyze the educational needs of migrant families raising children with disabilities of school age. Materials and methods. 228 respondents took part in the pilot study. The experiment used a questionnaire developed by the authors for migrants raising children with disabilities of school age. The criteria for its compilation are presented and the structural components are described. The questionnaire was supplemented by conversations with migrants raising children and special and inclusive education teachers. Results. The results obtained make it possible to analyze the direction and content of requests to an educational organization and a teacher. The expectations and ideas of respondents regarding children's education were studied. 60.5% of parents prioritize their child’s mastery of the educational program, especially in-depth study of the Russian language. All participants in the experiment show a high level of demands on the correctional, developmental and educational work of the school. 68.8% of families do not expect teachers to help in carrying out career guidance work with students with disabilities. Requests for psychological support from parents were not presented in the results of the experiment, and all participants in the survey expected the teacherpsychologist support for the child. Conclusion. The conclusions obtained during the pilot study can be useful for building a comprehensive system of school support for migrant families raising children with disabilities. Taking into account the risks and problem areas in the interaction between the educational organization and parents will optimize the process of adaptation of migrants to new socio-cultural conditions and make education accessible and open.

Bibliometric and scientometric analysis of PSMA-targeted radiotheranostics: knowledge mapping and global standing.

Bibliometric and scientometric analyses provide a structured approach to large amounts of data, enabling the prediction of research theme trends over time, the detection of shifts in the boundaries of disciplines, and the identification of the most productive countries, institutions and scholars. In the context of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radiotheranostics, no bibliometric or scientometric analysis has been published thus far. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify key contributors to the literature, assess the global scientific production of related research, and possibly predict future development patterns. Scientometrics and bibliometrics were utilized to analyze the current body of knowledge while tracking its evolution to support scientific decision-making comprehensively and systematically. Science mapping techniques were employed to visualize research activities. Two different tools, Tableau and VOSviewer, were utilized, with VOSviewer being deemed the most suitable for the research objectives. The Web of Science (WoS) was used as the principal database for the searches. Through the search process over a period of 30 years (January 1993-January 2023), 694 original studies in the English language were subjected to comprehensive analysis. By employing bibliometric and scientometric methods, multiple networks were created that mapped various concepts, such as publication trends, leading countries, cocitations, coauthorship among researchers and scientists, as well as coauthorship among organizations and funding agencies. This study revealed the evolutionary patterns, trends, outliers, and key players in the PSMA field, which enabled a more nuanced understanding of the research landscape. This research contributes to the enrichment of knowledge on PSMA-targeted radiotheranostics through detailed global bibliometric and scientometric analyses. It stresses the necessity for the development of communication platforms, the establishment of supportive infrastructures, and the implementation of proactive solutions to address emerging challenges. This study offers a significant resource for delineating effective strategies and identifying prominent funding bodies essential for continuous advancements in the field of PSMA-based diagnosis and therapy for prostate cancer. It is vital to sustain this momentum to ensure further progress in this pioneering area.

Metafora Maknawi: Pada Kata Al-Zhulumat dan Al-Nur dalam Kitab Tafsir Mafatih Al-Ghaib Karya Fakhruddin Al-Razi

The aim of this exploration is to recognize the enormous use of representation in the first verse of the Al-Qur'an Surah Ibrahim, especially the words Al-Zhulumat and Al-Nur. The main point is to interpret the task of isti'arah in giving an uncertain meaning to a part which can give rise to various translations. Using a scientific-rational approach, this research method examines the text of the Al-Qur'an through language and literature studies, with a focus on metaphors, especially relevant metaphors. This research approach is qualitative, with data collection using the Library Research method (library research). This investigation also includes interpretive efforts to better understand how isti'arah can be used as a tool of understanding, namely the translation of Fahruddin Al-Razi's Mafatih Al Ghaib. Findings (1). The study involved various translations resulting from the ideas of Intisari and Majaz in the application of isti'arah (2). Fakhruddin Al-Razi underlined that isti'arah helps Muslims understand the Al-Qur'an by explaining the meaning of complex verses, especially the terms Al-Zhulumat and Al-Nur in Surah Ibrahim verse 1. Apart from that, this study also functions as a reminder the idea of ​​content 'direction, which is not mentioned in the language of scholars but is present in the disciplines of tafsir and the Koran. Therefore, this research takes a dogmatic-ideological approach in studying the Koran while allowing for a rational-scientific approach.

Evidence for the Hepato-Retinal Axis: A Systematic Review.

Liver health has been reported to be associated with retinal pathology in various ways. These include deposition of retino-toxins, neovascular drive, and disruption of the blood-retina barrier. Extrahepatic synthesis of implicated molecules and hemodynamic changes in liver dysfunction are also considered. The objective was to review the current evidence for and against a hepato-retinal axis that may guide further areas of preclinical and clinical investigation. This was a systematic review. PubMed and Cochrane were queried for English language studies examining the connection between hepatic dysfunction and retinal pathology. Fourteen studies were included and examined out of 604 candidate publications. The studies selected include preclinical studies as well as clinical case series and studies. Several liver pathologies may be linked to retinal pathology as mediated by hepatically synthesized molecules. The hepato-retinal axis may be present and further, targeted studies of the axis are warranted. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina 2024;55:587-596.].
