Paper Title :: Does a good student-professor relationship influence student evaluation of courses?
Author Name :: Jean Lucien Razafindrakoto || Jean Razafindravonona || Tiako Joeda Andrimamy
Country :: Madagascar
Page Number :: 01-10
In many life situations, a student is in "socio-cognitive conflict" when his or her conceptions and cognitive structures are confronted with disturbing information that is incompatible with his or her prior knowledge system. The cognitive disturbance resulting from it will engage the person in a search for a new cognitive equilibrium that will take into account the disturbing information. In this paper, we propose to identify, through the literature and a case study, the factors that promote or, on the contrary, hinder the teacher-student relationship and then to confront these theories with reality through a case study of second-year management students from the 2012-2013 academic year.

People in general and student in particular are "in socio-cognitive conflict" when his relationship with his teacher and his cognitive structures are confronted with disruptive information incompatible with his prior knowledge system. In this paper, we propose to identify, through literature and a case study, the factors that favor or, on the contrary, disfavor the student-professor relationship, and then to confront these theories with reality through a case study of second-year management students.

Paper Title :: Enhancing STEAM Culture at the Foundational Stage: Moving From a Pedagogical Imposition to Praxis Oriented Curriculum
Author Name :: Shifali T V || Prof. (Dr.) M N Mohamedunni Alias Musthafa
Country :: India
Page Number :: 31-35
STEAM is more than simply a trendy term or an afterthought to STEM. It's an educational approach that develops critical thinking and creative problem-solving abilities among students that are required in the workforce of the twenty-first century. It might also hold the answer to resolve some of humanity's most pressing problems in the years to come. This paper explores the necessity of enhancing the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) culture at the foundational stage of education. It focuses on the need for shifting the pedagogical imposition approach curriculum delivery to a praxis-oriented approach. The traditional approach to education often involves a top-down teaching style where the students passively receive knowledge. However, this study argues for a more student-centered and experiential approach that encourages active engagement and practical application integrated with STEAM principles. The paper discusses the importance of nurturing a STEAM culture from the early stages of education and the benefits it brings to students' holistic development. It emphasizes the need for a shift from rote memorization to critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. By adopting a praxis-oriented approach, students are encouraged to actively explore and experiment with STEAM concepts through hands-on activities, projects, and real-world applications. The significance of collaboration and teamwork in STEAM education and how they foster effective communication and cooperation skills. It also emphasizes the integration of the arts into the curriculum to promote creativity and innovation among younger minds. By developing a deep understanding of STEAM disciplines and their practical applications, students are better equipped to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving technological world. By emphasizing the importance of creating a supportive and conducive learning environment that encourages curiosity, exploration, and the freedom to make mistakes. It underscores the role of educators in facilitating this transformation from pedagogical imposition to a praxis-oriented approach, empowering students to become active participants in their own learning. This exploration also concludes on the potential possibility of enhancing the STEAM culture at the foundational stage and suggests some measures to materialize the same by adopting a praxis-oriented approach.

Paper Title :: Investigating the Role of Recreational Facilities in Fostering Student Engagement: A Study at a University in the Sultanate of Oman
Author Name :: Dr. V. Vishnukanth Rao || Zakariya Yaqoob Harib Hassan Al Hadhramin || Anas Malik Hilal Al-Abri
Country :: Oman
Page Number :: 43-52
This study examines the relationship between student engagements, physical and mental health, academic performance, and student satisfaction among 201 undergraduate students at the University in the Sultanate of Oman. The majority of respondents were pursuing business studies and staying with their families at home. The questionnaire used in the study had good reliability and validity. On average, students reported average levels of academic performance, student engagement, physical and mental health, and student satisfaction. Correlation analysis showed positive and significant relationships between physical and mental health, academic performance, and student satisfaction, but not between student engagement and student satisfaction. Regression analysis revealed that physical and mental health and academic performance had a positive and significant effect on student satisfaction, while student engagement had a positive but insignificant effect. These findings have implications for the development of policies and programs aimed at improving the overall student experience in higher education.

The Centre for Legal Studies is an institution that must exist in every law faculty, but not all faculties have a centre for legal studies. Among the faculties with a centre for legal studies is the Faculty of Sharia and Law Sunan Ampel State Islamic University, Surabaya, Indonesia, named the Centre for Constitutional and Legislation Studies (PUSKOLEGIS). This article discusses the role of the Centre for Constitutional and Legislation Studies in developing legal studies at the Faculty of Sharia and Law, Sunan Ampel State Islamic University, Surabaya, Indonesia. The research conducted was at the Centre for Constitutional and Legislation Studies (PUSKOLEGIS) Faculty of Sharia and Law Sunan Ampel State Islamic University, Surabaya, Indonesia. The data collected was through observation, interview, and documentation, and the data was analyzed qualitatively. This study concluded that PUSKOLEGIS is essential in developing legal studies at the Faculty of Sharia and Law, Sunan Ampel State Islamic University, Surabaya, Indonesia. PUSKOLEGIS was formed on August 10, 2022, and has carried out various activities that can contribute to developing legal studies at the Faculty of Sharia and Law, Sunan Ampel State Islamic University, Surabaya, Indonesia, through multiple activities, such as making academic manuscripts and draft regional regulations, webinars/conference, discussions, research, press release and training. However, PUSKOLEGIS focuses on positive legal studies in Indonesia and less on Islamic Law. For this reason, we recommend that the Faculty of Sharia and Law also form Islamic Law studies to develop legal studies based on Islamic Law/Sharia.

Author Name :: Andjela Bisevac
Country :: Japan
Page Number :: 80-90
This paper delves into a comparative analysis of H.P. Lovecraft's iconic stories, "Pickman's Model" and "The Dreams in the Witch-House", and their modern adaptations in Guillermo del Toro's "Cabinet of Curiosities". Exploring the inherent themes of Lovecraftian cosmic horror, the study underscores the adaptations' faithfulness to original narratives while introducing contemporary elements that resonate with modern audiences. Through the lens of these adaptations, the paper sheds light on the evolution of cosmic horror, emphasizing the blend of ancient, otherworldly dread with modern psychological and emotional narratives. The adaptations not only provide a fresh perspective on Lovecraft's stories but also open avenues for future research in the realm of horror studies.

Paper Title :: Analysis of the Progression of Road Traffic in Tunisia Between 1960 and 2018
Author Name :: Maïssa Jelassi || Younes Boujelbéne
Country :: Tunisie
Page Number :: 110-117
In this article, we provide traffic estimates for more than 59 years, from 1960 to 2018. In other words, the aim of this study is to estimate the impact of different explanatory factors on the evolution of road traffic. We distinguish between macroeconomic variables and microeconomic variables, the other variables being social variables. To do this, we use different time series models applied to the entire Tunisian road network from January 1960 to December 2018. Indeed, we will carry out an econometric study of the Tunisian road transport system. An attempt has been made to identify the socio-economic conditions under which the different elements of the road transport system have interacted in time and space over this period.
The estimate shows that the provision of infrastructure has a negative impact on traffic, which can be explained by the fact that the south of the country is rich in infrastructure and has more economic activity, but has a relatively small population. Stimulating transport, while the north has active economic activities, a large population and a low supply of infrastructure per capita, we therefore see an irrational use of infrastructure, which has a negative impact on the country's transport structure.

Author Name :: Dr. Nehal Ahmad
Country :: Saudi Arabia
Page Number :: 118-139
At the outset it to be mentionedthat the present study in the application of Total Physical Response (TPR) method in teaching English tenses has been dealt upon from the researcher‟s own point views in the light of his decades of experiences and observations. The deliberations, explanations, arguments, and random samples as examples in the study based on the practical class teaching and learning outcomes. The teaching and learning of grammar in general havealways been quite challenging and a bone of contention among the language instructors since time immemorial.
Needless to say, our students encountera lot of difficulties in using the correct tenses either in spoken or written forms. The students in general commit errors in the use of tenses so that the teaching of grammar tenses and sub tenses has been quite challenging to the teachers teaching English as a foreign language in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Despite all existing strategies and methods applied in the classroom, the performance of the students in general has been quite unsatisfactory. The researcher has been speculating for the last one and half decades over this issue.After a long decades of speculation, it was finally concluded the TPR method can assist the students in teaching various basic and complex grammatical structures related to tenses. The author of the paper in the light of his long of experiences and observations as a teacher of English as a foreign language in the Department of English, University of Bishaat some point in time realizedthe effectiveness of this method.This method does not apply in teaching to young children only but can also be applied practically in the class to the adults‟ students whose background of the target language is not satisfactory. Asher (2007) also mentioned that TPR method is the most appropriate method for young learners, given that it combines language and gesture in a way that makes learning both memorable and meaningful. These learners in the class must actively beinvolvedby the teacher in teaching the grammatical tenses.Thisstudy aims to boost the acquisition of tenses byapplying TPR method.Our students ofGraduation, General English DiplomaCourses,and Intensive courses”do not possess adequate background of the English language. TPR methodis one of the alternative methods as it is hoped will assistthem a lot in acquiring the basic grammatical structures of three tenses of English and consequently, to achieve the Intended Learning outcomes‟ which is mentioned in the course specification of the Course. The desired outcome of this study is that the teacher, using the TPR method, can enhance the comprehension and usage of various English tenses in practical life situations.

Paper Title :: The Role of Social Reproduction Theory in Understanding the Issue of Inequality in the United States Education System
Author Name :: Emmanuel Oghenerukevwe Ikpuri
Country :: United States
Page Number :: 140-146
This article explores the applicability of Social Reproduction Theory (SRT) in comprehending the pervasive issue of inequality within the United States education system. SRT offers a critical lens to analyze how educational disparities are not merely coincidental but deeply rooted in societal structures and power dynamics. By delving into the historical context, structural components, and contemporary manifestations of educational inequality, this article demonstrates the relevance of SRT in elucidating the mechanisms that perpetuate unequal access to quality education. Furthermore, it underscores the imperative of addressing these disparities to promote a more equitable and just society.This article highlighted that the school system is designed in a way that encourages aristocratic structures that suit upper-class and middle-class children, leaving children behind. This has constituted inequality in the educational system. Addressing these disparities is not only imperative in education but also a crucial step toward building a more equitable and just society.

Paper Title :: World Trends of Interbank Funds Transfer Systems and Development Orientation of National Interbank Payment System (IBPS) in Vietnam
Author Name :: Dang Dinh Tan
Country :: Vietnam
Page Number :: 172-179
National interbank money transfer systems directly managed and operated by central banks are considered the backbone of national payment systems. With advances in technology, these systems are tending to evolve from “pure” designated time net settlement (DTNS) and real time gross settlement (RTGS) systems into hybrid system and integrated system. In Vietnam, the National interbank payment system has been formed and developed since 2002 and has become a pillar in the national payment system. However, the current national interbank payment system model has a gap with national payment systems of countries in the region and around the world. This gap needs to be identified and overcome based on the orientation of developing the National interbank payment system into an integrated system as a combination of RTGS and Hybrid system.

Not only for enjoyment, but also as a guide for the development of character and values in the current generation, folklore contains references with the conventional wisdom of the Malay community in the past. According to Hashim Musa (2008), components of Malay personality that impact features of Malay speech, behaviour, and thinking can be emphasised through the Malay character aspect. In accordance with that, this study was carried out to determine and evaluate the Malay Hearts of Kindness found in folklore stories at Machang state, Kelantan. Furthermore, the publication Cerita Rakyat Kelantan: Himpunan Seluruh Jajahan (2023) by Nasirin Abdillah, Mohd Firdaus Che Yaacob, and Abdul Latif Abu Bakar served as the study's primary source. In addition, to finish this research, a qualitative technique incorporating library resources and text is employed as a guideline. In studies, Moral Approach, Malay Method Theory (1989) by Hashim Awang) is employed by deduction to reinforce the study's analysis. In summary, the study's findings demonstrate that folklore is certainly strongly tied to the core of Malay culture, capable of forming traditions, values, and civilised culture within the Malay people.

Paper Title :: Maritime Transport on Lake Victoria during the Inter-War Period, 1914-1945

Page Number :: 200-211
This paper describes maritime transportation on Lake Victoria during the interwar period in order to establish the effect of world wars on maritime transport and the impact on the economy. Prior to the First World War, Lake Victoria transport was expanding and became the main mode of transport in the lake region being that road construction around the lake was cumbersome. However, the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 interrupted this development and subsequently affected trade in East Africa. Even though transport recovered after the war and demonstrated a lot of potential, but it was later affected by the outbreak of the Second World War though its effects were not as severe as the First World War. A Historical Research Design was used to conduct this study. Non probability sampling methods and procedures were used to identify informants during the collection of primary data. Much of the primary data were gathered from Kenya National Archives and Railways Museum in Nairobi. Secondary data was collected from the relevant publications and other materials. The data obtained were analyzed using content and thematic analysis techniques. This study shows that the outbreak of First World War caused a decline of passenger and commodity transport across the lake because most of the lake ferries were taken over by the navy for the lake patrol. Moreover, lake traffic between Tanganyika and Kisumu was terminated causing a decline of trade commodities from Tanganyika. In the same vein, the export trade of Uganda passing through the port of Kisumu stopped towards the end of 1915. Despite the recovery and the expansion of the transport during the period of peace, dhow traffic subjected lake ferries to competition before the outbreak of the Second World War. Due to the potential of Lake Victoria transport, the government should give it attention and set specific policies that govern its transportation.

In the world, there are many writers representing many trends and methods of writing who have made new discoveries about human issues with pressures and crises during the period of scientific and technological boom. information technology. Among them, F. Kafka is a typical representative of profound explorations of human issues in relation to society.
In F. Kafka's composition, it is not difficult to recognize the repetitive artistic motifs, such as the motif of alienation, exile, helpless anxiety, irrational problems, totalitarian association, invisible power ... In the scope of the article, we mention the writer's obsessions and concerns through the art of building familiar characters in his compositions such as: guilty , people are forgotten, freedom of privacy is violated, the power of invisible power ...

Paper Title :: Effect of Community Support on the Implementation of Re-Entry Policy for Teenage Mothers in Public Secondary Schools in Gatundu South Sub County, Kiambu County, Kenya
Author Name :: Mary M. Muli, Sr. || Dr. Elizabeth Piliyesi || Dr. Peter Koros
Country :: Kenya
Page Number :: 224-242
The study examined the effect of community support on re-entry policy for teenage mother-students and completion of schooling in public secondary schools in Gatundu South Sub-County. Research question that guided this study was: To what extent has community support affected the implementation of the re-entry policy for teenage mother-students? Opportunity theory guided this study. Mixed research design was applied in this study. The study targeted 30 public secondary schools where 421 participants comprising of class teachers, principals, and ministry of education officials, mother-students and parents/guardians to mother-student were targeted. Questionnaires, interview guide anddocument analysis were used to collect data. Analysis for qualitative data was done in verbatim and thematic approach while quantitative data was done using descriptive statistics where SPSS software was used for Chi-Square test and correlation analysis and results presented in charts, tables and graphs. Researcher considered some ethics by seeking permission from the Catholic University of Eastern Africa and NACOSTI for data collection. The study findings revealed thatcommunity support by creating awareness about re-entry policy for teenage mother-students has improved the implementation of the re-entry policy. Early pregnancy has affected the completion rates of girls since it has made mother-students loose interest due to missing hope of community reactions when teens get pregnant. Social cultural practices such as early marriages affect the policy since teen mothers are treated like any other mother in the family. The cultural norms of the community subject the teen mothers to labeling and stereotyping hence affecting their schooling process. Recommendation was that there is need for the government and the community to establish rules and procedures governing fair allocation of these supports in order to demonstrate goodwill and support for the readmission of the girls after delivery to institutions.

Country :: Vietnam
Page Number :: 243-247
In linguistic research, translation is as always, an interesting area to study. It requires not only linguistic knowledge but also non-linguistic or background knowledge to fulfil your study. Vietnam has plenty of toponym, place names that are connected with our history, culture and vernacular. Therefore, a work of translating those to the other language with an accurate and comprehensive way is worth discussing. This paper aims to study about meaning of those nomination then suggest the most applicable and equivalent terms in target language (English). We are going to use the Theory of Nomination accompanied with Theory of Translation based on compiling and discussing about Nomination method and carry out some recommendation to translate those place names from Vietnamese into English. Besides, we would use theory of pragmatics to discover metaphorical and figurative meaning of those names. All names of buildings and constructions in “Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam” relics will be fully discussed throughout this paper. As a result, our paper will offer a suitable recommendation in translating names of those constructions to English. For practical perspective, within Tourism field, this paper is attempted to support foreign tourists to comprehend the sense of those names when they have opportunity to visit this relics during their trip to the North of Vietnam.

The sample size of the study consisted of 336 male and 262 female athletes giving a total of 598 representing 20% of athletes from each of the state Sport Council. Instrument titled ―Prevalence and Determinants of Sexual Harassment of Athletes Questionnaire (PDSHAQ)‖ was used for data collection. The instrument was validated by three research experts, all from the University of Uyo. Instrument was trial tested on 20 athletes who were not part of the research sample. Cronbach Alpha Reliability Statistics and reliability co-efficient of 0.98 was obtained. The data was analysed using Mean and Standard Deviation to answer the research questions while hypothesis was tested at .05 levels of significance. The finding of the study showed that different states have varying mean scores on sexual harassment among athletes in South-South Nigeria. In addition, socioeconomic status and drug uses are determined of sexual harassments among athletes. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended among measures to protect female athletes from sexual harassment by having committees that are made up male and female officials to select athletes for participation in competitions base on performances instead of leaving the selection process in the hand of a single individual. Athletes with history of drug use should not be accepted into the sport council.

Literature written about the war after 1975 not only focuses on the joy of victory but also shows realism in the post-war period. Soldiers rushing into battle are also explored from a multi-faceted, multi-dimensional perspective. Minh Chuyen's memoirs have successfully built two senses about the era: the magnanimity and the spirit of determination to serve the Fatherland and the sadness and misfortune of soldiers as a result of war.

The ultimate goal of language teaching in general and teaching Vietnamese as a foreign language in particular is to help learners fluently use Vietnamese in communication. Therefore, building a system of exercises on idioms - a fixed language that carries national cultural values - is important and meets the urgent needs of today. Idiom exercises are designed based on the Vietnamese Competency Framework for foreigners and divided according to the learners' thinking levels.
In each type of exercise, we also clearly identify the issues: purpose, implementation process, and organizational form. These will be specific directions to help teachers easily apply these types of exercises in teaching activities.

Educational Technology (EdTech) has become an integral part of the learning landscape in today‘s digital age. This study aims to address the significance of students‘ perspectives and opinions on the impact, advantages, disadvantages and potential of EdTech in schools. As edtech continues to evolve, it is crucial to gauge how students perceive its role in their education. Our research involved a survey conducted across multiple schools spanning various geographic locations. A structured questionnaire was administered to students to assess their opinions and experiences with edtech. The survey encompassed questions related to the influence of edtech on their learning, its advantages, and potential drawbacks. The findings of this study illuminate the multifaceted nature of students' perception of edtech. A significant portion of respondents acknowledged the positive impact of edtech on their learning experiences, citing increased engagement, accessibility to resources, and enhanced interactivity. However, concerns regarding distractions, overreliance on technology, and inequalities in access were also raised. Notably, a majority of students expressed a desire for a balanced integration of traditional teaching methods with edtech.
