Full textAbstract:
In teaching Southeast Asian literature in English in Thailand, a lecturer presented a brief historical background of each country. After lecturing on each country’s literature background, the students were assigned to write the reflection essays on short stories studied in class. Then, a lecturer summarized the issues discussed in class and from students’ reflection essays. This article is resulted from the case study of teaching modern Southeast Asian Literary Works in English at IAC international studies ASEAN-CHINA program, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat university, Thailand. A lecturer and students discovered gender and political issues in Laotian, Burmese and Vietnamese short stories. Laotian and Vietnamese short stories A Bar at the Edge of Cemetery and The Khaki Coat represent writers’ attitudes towards their communist/socialist government. Laos and Vietnam share social problems such as poverty-famine, economic inequality and class struggle. Additionally, Laotian, Burmese and Vietnamese short stories also portray gender issues such as gender inequality, women’s liberation movements, and the effects of war on women.

When I was young, it seemed that most Americans had never heard of Burma. Since communication with Burma was constrained, I was curious about its culture, which my family carried so near to their hearts. My first memory of seeing “Burma” involved watching The King and I (1956) on television. I was captivated by Rita Moreno playing Tuptim, a Burmese girl who is given to the king of Siam by the prince of Burma and is secretly having an affair with her escort. The new British governess gives Tuptim Uncle Tom's Cabin to improve her English. The Burmese concubine articulates her frustration by staging an adaptation of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel for the king and some European visitors. During the performance, Tuptim attempts an escape with her Burmese lover.

Full textAbstract:
This article seeks to explore the complicated role that the memoir form of Thant Myint-U’s text, The River of Lost Footsteps, plays in the development of a combined national identity and literature in the context of Burma. The River of Lost Footsteps is read as a literary foray into Burmese sociopolitical history that is focalised through Thant Myint-U’s necessarily personalised lens. Through an exploration of “Burmese english” as a radical linguistic act of reclamation and rediscovery, this polemic comes to the conclusion that an understanding of language as a material pursuit is essential to the process of achieving the self-direction of formerly colonised nations and nation-states. I reach this conclusion by developing an argument that deploys the scope of a distinctively racialised authorial perspective. In doing so, post-colonialism can be construed as a twofold operation; to be postcolonial is to be theorised as such, but it also enacts post-colonialism through language use as a means of resistance against the naturalised imperial project of both past and present.

Full textAbstract:
Inspired by years of research into the areas of motivation and learner autonomy, this empirical study aimed at investigating ways of developing both of these dimensions in a Myanmar classroom; most current research output show results of what has been done mostly in Western context or in countries with strong ties to Western culture, such as China, South Korea or Japan. To the best of my knowledge, none of the literature or studies related to Myanmar, a country that presents a very unique set of circumstances for English-language teachers: not only had English been banned in all of its forms for nearly 40 years after the military government came to power (closing down libraries, English-language publications and eradicating the English curriculum from schools), but the country follows a Confucian system of education, which places greater value in memorization than understanding and in strict obedience rather than the development of critical thought (Purdie et al 1996; Han and Yang, 2001). Because of the Confucian belief in the importance of unequal relations in education (Guo ,2016) students are not only discouraged from asking questions but according to their own testimony, even physically punished. With these considerations in mind, the purpose of this study was to investigate the degree to which both autonomy and intrinsic motivation could be developed in Burmese, thus breaking away from the educational model they have followed so far, and to ascertain whether or not such dimensions had an impact in their learning outcomes. Nineteen Intermediate-level Burmese students, enrolled in the General English program at the British Council Myanmar, worked for six weeks twice a week carrying out tasks designed to boost their intrinsic motivation and develop a greater sense of autonomy, to assess if these dimensions had an impact in the students’ learning outcomes and to determine the degree and type of pedagogical interventions needed to facilitate that. Students answered three questionnaires, wrote three journal entries reflecting on their experience as learners and as subjects in the project, and engaged in a variety of tasks which will be described. Additionally, three students were interviewed in person to delve deeper into the issues described above. The first questionnaire was designed to help learners reflect on their own role as learners, The second one was based on Dörnyei’s Ten Commandments for Motivating Language. The final questionnaire was a reflection on the entirety of the course and changes students had experienced throughout. It asked questions concerning motivation, autonomy and identity and it serves as the final data–collection instrument by which to ascertain if any changes occurred in their behaviour, attitude or thinking patterns.

Full textAbstract:
The present comparative postcolonial analysis aims at drawing thematic parallels between two postcolonial novels: The Conscript (1950) by Ghebresus Hailu (Eritrea, Horn of Africa) and The Glass Palace (2000) by Amitav Ghosh, India. Though the novels are productions of two different geographical space, cultural and colonial experience, they have stark similarities. In The Conscript Hailu paints a picture of his colonized country men under Italian masters similarly, Ghosh in The Glass Palace attempts to delineate the life of Indo-Burmese people under the British Empire. Although a lot of research has been carried out on Anglophone and Francophone colonial literature, there hardly exists any analysis of Italian colonial literature. In this regard comparative analysis of The Conscript (a novel written in Tigrigna, a language spoken in Eritrea, East Africa and translated into English by Ghirmay Negash, a professor in Ohio University) and The Glass Palace, I believe will provide additional knowledge concerning Italian colonial experience visà-vis wide existing Anglophone and Francophone literature. The thematic commonalities drawn between The Conscript and The Glass Palace in this paper are native role and complicity, racism and interiorization, dislocation, colonial order, traumatic effects of colonialism in the colonized, decolonization strategies, and anticolonial consciousness. I will explore and analyze the relations of the two novels based on afore mentioned aspects. Then following the discussion I will conclude by revisiting some general points concerning the texts. This paper mainly frames its arguments on theoretical frameworks of Rene Wellek, Robert Young, Edward Said, and Franz Fanon about notions of comparative literature, resistance, and representation, exploitation, and interiorization.

Full textAbstract:
Syingir or song has been known since the era before the arrival of Islam in Indonesia. After Islam came, Syingir was used as a medium for preaching which was echoed in mosques and majlis ta'lim. However, along with the development of the times, Syingir is considered old-fashioned and is rarely sung, especially in urban communities. But some rural communities still chant it. The purpose of this study was to find out the forms of Syingir sung by Rejosari villagers, and the social values contained in the activities of Syingiran Rejosari villagers, Syingir as a strengthening of the spirituality of rural communities. This research is qualitative-based field research. The main object of this research is the Syingiran activities of the Rejosari village community and the chants that are sung. The results of this study are (1) the form of the revitalization of Syingir in Rejosari village is by making efforts to replace, preserve, inherit, and manage Syingiran activities, (2) the social values contained in Syingiran activities are the value of togetherness, the value of patience, the value of leadership, and Amar makruf nahi munkar, (3) as a strengthening of the spirituality of the rural community of the Syingir-Syingir teaches people to always remember God and read the Qur'an, pray for their predecessor, keep holding prayers under any circumstances, always remember death, and always do kindness.TRANSLATE with x EnglishArabicHebrewPolishBulgarianHindiPortugueseCatalanHmong DawRomanianChinese SimplifiedHungarianRussianChinese TraditionalIndonesianSlovakCzechItalianSlovenianDanishJapaneseSpanishDutchKlingonSwedishEnglishKoreanThaiEstonianLatvianTurkishFinnishLithuanianUkrainianFrenchMalayUrduGermanMalteseVietnameseGreekNorwegianWelshHaitian CreolePersian // TRANSLATE with COPY THE URL BELOW Back EMBED THE SNIPPET BELOW IN YOUR SITE Enable collaborative features and customize widget: Bing Webmaster PortalBack// This page is in Uzbek Translate to English AfrikaansAlbanianAmharicArabicArmenianAzerbaijaniBengaliBulgarianCatalanCroatianCzechDanishDutchEnglishEstonianFinnishFrenchGermanGreekGujaratiHaitian CreoleHebrewHindiHungarianIcelandicIndonesianItalianJapaneseKannadaKazakhKhmerKoreanKurdish (Kurmanji)LaoLatvianLithuanianMalagasyMalayMalayalamMalteseMaoriMarathiMyanmar (Burmese)NepaliNorwegianPashtoPersianPolishPortuguesePunjabiRomanianRussianSamoanSimplified ChineseSlovakSlovenianSpanishSwedishTamilTeluguThaiTraditional ChineseTurkishUkrainianUrduVietnameseWelsh Always translate Uzbek to EnglishPRO Never translate Uzbek Never translate ejournal.uin-suska.ac.id

Full textAbstract:
Climate change and consumption of sustainable resources are global issues internalized in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In fact, local wisdom has accommodated the concept of sustainable development. However, local wisdom is currently less involved in the SDGs. This research seeks to ensure that local wisdom, including the Mentawai Arat Sabulungan (AS), can support SDGs 12 and 13 in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to explore the position and role of the AS, to analyze the correlation between the AS and the SDGs mission to address climate change and sustainable resource consumption, and to formulate efforts to implement national SDGs points 12 and 13 through a cultural approach. The research method used is qualitative research by collecting data through interviews, observation, and literature studies. The results of this study are: First, AS is the belief system of the Mentawai people as an ecological awareness that is based on sacred values and functions as a religious principle, social norm, and environmental conservation. Second, the AS concept of sacred ecology has relevance to the SDGs on sustainable consumption and efforts to deal with climate change. Third, the strategy for implementing SDGs points 12 and 13 can be carried out by localizing it.TRANSLATE with x EnglishArabicHebrewPolishBulgarianHindiPortugueseCatalanHmong DawRomanianChinese SimplifiedHungarianRussianChinese TraditionalIndonesianSlovakCzechItalianSlovenianDanishJapaneseSpanishDutchKlingonSwedishEnglishKoreanThaiEstonianLatvianTurkishFinnishLithuanianUkrainianFrenchMalayUrduGermanMalteseVietnameseGreekNorwegianWelshHaitian CreolePersian // TRANSLATE with COPY THE URL BELOW Back EMBED THE SNIPPET BELOW IN YOUR SITE Enable collaborative features and customize widget: Bing Webmaster PortalBack// This page is in Indonesian Translate to English AfrikaansAlbanianAmharicArabicArmenianAzerbaijaniBengaliBulgarianCatalanCroatianCzechDanishDutchEnglishEstonianFinnishFrenchGermanGreekGujaratiHaitian CreoleHebrewHindiHungarianIcelandicIndonesianItalianJapaneseKannadaKazakhKhmerKoreanKurdish (Kurmanji)LaoLatvianLithuanianMalagasyMalayMalayalamMalteseMaoriMarathiMyanmar (Burmese)NepaliNorwegianPashtoPersianPolishPortuguesePunjabiRomanianRussianSamoanSimplified ChineseSlovakSlovenianSpanishSwedishTamilTeluguThaiTraditional ChineseTurkishUkrainianUrduVietnameseWelsh Always translate Indonesian to EnglishPRO Never translate Indonesian Never translate ejournal.uin-suska.ac.id

"Persistent depression in pregnant refugee and migrant women living along the Thai-Myanmar Border: a secondary qualitative analysis." Wellcome Open Research 7 (September 12, 2022): 231. http://dx.doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.17744.1.
Full textAbstract:
Background Antepartum depression affects around 15% of pregnant women worldwide, and may negatively impact their infants' physical, cognitive and social development, and confer a greater risk of emotional dysregulation in their children. Risk factors for antepartum depression disproportionately affect women from resource-sparse settings. In particular, pregnant refugee and migrant women face many barriers to diagnosis and care of mental health conditions, yet this group is under-represented in the literature. This study explores what refugee and migrant women living along the Thai-Myanmar border perceive as being contributory and protective factors to their antepartum depression, through secondary qualitative analysis of responses to clinical interviews for depression. Methods Previous research investigating perinatal depression in pregnant refugee and migrant women on the Thai-Myanmar border involved assessing 568 women for depression, using the Structured Clinical Interview for the diagnosis of DSM-IV Disorders (SCID). This study analyses a subsample of 32 women, diagnosed with persistent depression during the antepartum period. Thematic analysis of responses to the SCID and social and demographic surveys was undertaken to investigate factors which contribute towards, or protect against, persistent antepartum depression. Results Major themes which women described as contributing towards persistent antepartum depression were financial problems, interpersonal violence, substance misuse among partners, social problems and poor health. Factors women considered as protecting mental wellbeing included social support, accessible healthcare and distractions, highlighting the need for focus on these elements within refugee and migrant settings. Commonly expressed phrases in local Karen and Burmese languages were summarised. Conclusions Knowledge of factors affecting mental wellbeing in the study population and how these are phrased, may equip stakeholders to better support women in the study area. This study highlighted the limitations of contextually generic diagnostic tools, and recommends the development of tools better suited to marginalised and non-English speaking groups.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundThe interstitial matrix is the ground substance of all connective tissues, such as bone, skin, tendons, internal organs, and ligaments[1]. Type I collagen (COL1) is not only the most abundant protein, but also crucial for tissue integrity and stability as it act as the skeletal network of most organs. COL1 is organized in fibrils and connecting other extracellular matrix proteins to form a dynamic tissue. In bone, COL1 is 80% of the total protein amount and 95% of the total collagen amount, and thereby bone is by far the most COL1 rich tissue[1]. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) driven COL1 degradation is a central feature of in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) resulting in the release of C1M into the circulation. The common soluble biomarkers in RA are measures of inflammatory factors such as CRP, thus there is room for blood-based biomarkers reflecting tissue destruction.ObjectivesMMP-mediated tissue destruction may be a central part of inflammatory disorders, albeit overlooked. The biomarker C1M was developed more than a decade ago[2]. C1M originates from soft tissue turnover (from the action of MMP-2, -9, and -132), not bone, thus very different from the bone degradation biomarker CTX-I. The aim was to review the literature to provide an overview on the potential context of use of assessing MMP-mediate COL1 degradation in RA, according to the FDA BEST guidelines[3].MethodsPubMed and google scholar were searched for full-text original articles in English using the keywords C1M, biomarker, and rheumatoid arthritis. The search period was set to 2011 to 2022, included. Also, we limited the included articles to those assessing blood levels of C1M in clinical RA samples and animal models, thus excluding articles assessing the biomarker assessed in cell cultures or in silico models.Results396 titles were identified of which 14 were full text, English written articles. The figure provides the main conclusions of the 14 articles. C1M was 2-4 times elevated in patients with RA compared to healthy donors or to patients with undifferentiated arthritis (UA) and is increased in a rat model of RA (orange box). C1M release is inhibited by biologics, such as anti-IL6 receptor, anti-TNFs, and Jak inhibitors, and was shown to be associated with disease activity (blue box). C1M was predictive of treatment response (purple box) and associated with disease progression (green box).ConclusionMMP-mediated COL1 degradation was more than 100% elevated in RA, suggesting that tissue destruction is actively ongoing in these patients. Tissue destruction was prognostic for further joint damage. Only those treatments that strongly inhibited this tissue destruction was efficacious. In alignment, changes in tissue destruction were predictive for efficacy.References[1] Karsdal et al. Biochemistry of Collagens, Laminins and Elastin, 2019.[2] Leeming et al.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract English language education has a long history in Myanmar (also known as Burma). In accordance with changing political conditions, the status of English and educational policies has changed frequently and abruptly in Myanmar. To understand current English language policies and practice in Myanmar, the chapter first opens the history pages, from the colonial era (1886–1948) to Covid-19 and the Spring Revolution (2020–21). English language education in Myanmar is explored not only through a theoretical and historical lens but also through a personal one. In addition to published documents, literature, and data collected from online social media written in Myanmar (Burmese), the author’s own personal experience in a culture (a Burmese society) is used as a way of expanding understanding of the cultural phenomenon through a personalized, autoethnographic approach.
