Cet article met en évidence et résume la complexité des relations scientifiques établies entre l’Université roumaine de Cluj et la France dans la première moitié du xxe siècle. Nouvellement créée à la fin de la Grande Guerre et située en Transylvanie, une région multiculturelle qui faisait enfin partie de l’État roumain, cette institution académique a déployé de grands efforts afin d’acquérir une crédibilité et une pertinence nationale et internationale. Le soutien varié et constant apporté par les universitaires français a joué un rôle clé dans l’accomplissement de cet objectif ambitieux. This article highlights and summarizes the complexity of the scientific relationships established between the Romanian University of Cluj and France in the first half of the 20th century. Newly created at the end of the Great War and placed in Transylvania, a multicultural region that had finally become part of the Romanian state, this academic institution made great efforts in order to gain national and international credibility and relevance. The varied and constant support provided by the French academics played a key role in the accomplishment of this ambitious goal.

The purpose of this study was to determine middle school students’ national belonging levels in terms of different variables. In this quantitative study, middle school students’ views on national belonging were determined by the “National Belonging Scale for Middle School Students”. The study was conducted with 1318 middle school students in Niğde province of Turkey during the Spring term of the 2019-2020 academic year. Research data were collected through “National Belonging Scale for Middle School Students” and were analysed with SPSS 24 software package. According to the study results, middle school students had a high positive view of their national belonging. Their gender did not make a statistical difference in terms of both reasons and results of their national belonging. On the other hand, students’ views on national belonging differed in terms of their grade level. Again, although there was no difference between the public and private schools in terms of reasons of their national belonging, there was a statistically significant difference between them in terms of the results of their national belonging in favor of the public school. Another difference was determined between Turkish and refugee students’ national belonging. Turkish students’ mean scores of reasons and results of their national belonging were statistically higher than the refugee students’ mean scores. Considering national belonging in terms of each variable, middle school students’ national belonging can be strengthened with some activities that can be done within the scope of the implicit program as well as the educational activities carried out within the curriculum at schools. Social Studies is the most important course into which works on this subject can be integrated.

Whilst self-driving cars are not vehicles of the future, but technology that is already available, their acceptance and implementation is heavily limited. People consider them as technology that has a lot of risk—be it technological, IT related, or even ethical. The aim of the present paper is to enrich the existing body of literature of risk perception—and in line with this technology adaption—regarding autonomous vehicles and how they are influenced by demographic and exogenous cultural variables. Whilst the effect of cultural variables on risk perception has already been explored by several researchers, the present paper shall be considered an expansion of those works, striving to address a particular segment of risk perception—the specifics of cultural influence on risk perception regarding autonomous vehicles. Whilst risk perception is of a multifaceted nature, the current paper does not aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex phenomenon under scrutiny, but intends to highlight the potentiality of cultural influences besides the often-explored individual variables when it comes to risk perception and the consequent decisions and indicates that the cultural dimensions of Geert Hofstede use to create a better understanding of perceived risks related to self-driving cars.

This research aimed to explore the relationship between employees' perceptions of organizational politics (POPS) and their predisposition to involve in knowledge sharing (KS) behaviors at individuals and workgroups level in the Brazilian automotive Modular Consortium. The sample included 144 shop floor employees of Modular Consortium (six connected companies in assembly lines). The POPS-KS relationship was analyzed using different referents, seeking to understand how individuals and groups respond to the presence of organizational politics, and POPS and KS were tested in a Brazilian context, shedding new light on potential cultural influences impacting this relationship. The results evidenced that positive interpersonal communication can contribute to KS, and in turn, KS can counteract the negative impacts of POPS. There was a positive relationship between POPS-KS, indicating that POPS may have functional effects in facilitating KS of individuals and workgroups. Key findings and implications for future research were discussed.

The rapid development of text analytics enables marketers to obtain the information extracted from the narrative content in user-generated content (UGC). Recent studies have also demonstrated that people with different cultural backgrounds may express their opinions about their purchase in diverse manners. This study focuses on the impact of the narrative content of consumers’ perception of helpfulness. It first identifies four contextual dimensions to propose a theoretical model, demonstrating that perceptions of helpfulness may differ in respect to the consumers’ varied cultural backgrounds (e.g., individualism vs. collectivism). By using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC), the study empirically tests the hypotheses by analyzing 111,857 movie reviews collected for 167 American movies released both in the United States and in China from 2013 to 2016. The results reveal that individualist consumers perceive an online review that contains more self-description and future-focus content as helpful, whereas collectivist consumers rely more on online reviews containing social description and past-focus content.

Metro Manila is the bustling capital of the Philippines that has varied cultural influences. This study determined the perceptions of 200 respondents from selected government and private companies’ employees in the National Capital Region towards Metro Manila’s Salad Bowl of Homogeneity and Cultural Heterogeneity. Concurrent Triangulation was utilized to gather the perceptions of 200 government and private companies’ employees and corroborate findings within the study. Based on the results, people who keep in touch with their immediate kin and sometimes visit home to celebrate usual practices have the highest mean score of 3.25. On the other hand, people who were born in Metro Manila to parents who were from provinces thrive to learn about their native culture and family practices have the lowest mean score of 2.12, such that Metro Manila is a cultural melting pot due to its cultural heterogeneity. Metro Manila is a blend of the world’s culture, food, and languages, and diverse way of life.

Purpose Although the rates of childhood obesity are disproportionately higher in children of racial and ethnic minorities, research rarely addresses possible cultural factors. The purpose of this study was to discover cultural influences that contribute to or prevent childhood obesity from the perspectives of Burmese-American children and adolescents of Karen ethnicity in the southeast U.S. Design and methods The ethnonursing research method was used to seek perspectives of healthy weight care from Karen children between 8 and 15 years-of-age (n = 10). Karen parents (n = 5) and non-Karen community members (n = 13) were also interviewed. Data sources – interviews, fieldnotes, and observation notes – were analyzed using the four phases of the ethnonursing method. Results Four themes important to healthy weight care in Karen children were discovered: views of a healthy child, food and food preparation, physical activity, and mutual support among family and community. These themes revealed both Karen and non-Karen influences. Conclusions Most Karen cultural influences promote healthy weight care in Karen children and adolescents which may protect them from childhood obesity. Lack of after-school transportation, limited space to play/exercise, and the sedentary tendencies of girls could limit healthy weight care. Practice implications Pediatric nurses may use knowledge gained from this study for promotion of healthy weight care in Karen families and to advocate for community changes which could benefit all children.

This cross-cultural study investigated country and gender differences among American (U.S.A.) and Japanese students’ reading motivation. Fourth-grade students (94 from the United States and 102 from Japan) were administered a reading motivation questionnaire. Study results indicated American students had higher reading motivation than Japanese students on most dimensions, including Self-Efficacy, Challenges, Curiosity, Importance, Involvement, Recognition, Grades, Competition, and Social. We found that culture may impact students’ reading motivation and discuss how individualistic and collectivistic cultures influence students’ reading motivation. Contrasting with the existing research, this study did not show any significant gender differences in reading motivation across the two countries. The null effect of gender needs to be re-examined in future studies.

Japanese and South Korean attitudes toward each other have often been strained, in turn putting stress on formal relations between both countries. However, both countries are experiencing a growth in consumption of the other’s popular culture. This thesis asks: Does increasing popular culture consumption create more favorable attitudes in these two countries toward each other, as many analysts expect? Although citizens in both countries consume more of the other’s popular culture than might be expected, and all else being equal, this does appear to improve mutual attitudes although it has apparently not been enough to improve mutual overall impressions. Consumption is restricted to certain portions of the population, and any positive impact that it yields appears outweighed by other issues, particularly disputes over differing interpretations of Japan’s past colonial rule.

The increasing need for spices in the world triggers various expeditions to find sources of spices in the world. The activity of searching for the origin of these spices gave birth to international trade systems and routes. The emergence of this spice route resulted in the emergence of trading ports which became the forerunner to the emergence of new kingdoms. Jepara was one of the kingdoms that emerged because it had a port in a strategic area on the spice trade route. The hustle and bustle of trading activities in Jepara also affects the social life of the Jepara people who have long been known for their carving skills. Traders who come from various parts of the country and abroad open up opportunities for cultural mixing, which has an impact on culture, expertise, and the application of patterns in the art of Jepara wood carving. In this paper, the researcher tries to mitigate the development and influence of acculturation brought by foreign traders with a historiography method to make it easier to read the impact of the maritime spice route on the development of carving in Jepara. The results of this study shows the application of various wood carving motifs to various artifacts as a result of the influence of the mixed culture in Jepara at that time.

In this study, we worked with both Turkish and U.S. samples to reveal how cultural influences might manifest themselves in the context of child-teacher relationships from children's perspectives. There were 243 preschoolers and 26 classrooms included in the U.S. sample. In the Turkish sample, 211 preschool children from 41 classrooms participated. Data were obtained via interviews and analyzed based on thematic analysis method. Three main categories were identified as positive, negative, and neutral relationship perception. In the Turkish sample, the frequency of the negative relationship perception of children toward their teachers was found to be much higher than positive and neutral relationship perceptions. In the U.S. sample, the positive relationship perception of children was found to be higher than negative and neutral relationship perceptions. Neutral relationship perception was found to be more frequently expressed by children in the U.S. sample. This is one of the leading studies giving an opportunity to hear children's voices about their relationship perceptions with their teachers, specifically with a cross-cultural viewpoint.

The following essay discusses the cultural factors that inspired the “hard body” movies of the 1980’s and 1990’s, but it also describes the changes that occurred, later on, that contributed to the deconstruction of those movies. The hard body movies were characterized by having a reoccurring set of actors (Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Van Damme) and themes (facing adversaries in a forceful manner), and some of the factors that influenced this portrayal were the Reagan Revolution and a revaluation of the Vietnam war. However, a change in political ideology, and a reassessment of America’s place in the world, inspired the deconstruction of those movies, and newer movies brought with them a new message, of what could be considered a soft body.

This article employs surveys by Gallup, the Central Asia Barometer, and the Barometer of Eurasian Integration, as well as focus groups that were commissioned as part of this research, to argue (1) that Kazakhstani perceptions of the United States compare unfavorably to perceptions of China and especially of Russia; (2) that Russian influence is a minor or nonexistent cause of the United States’ poor image; (3) that US cultural influence has an ambiguous effect on the country’s image in Kazakhstan, due to a “clash of values” between conservative Kazakhstani society and relatively liberal US cultural exports; (4) that the United States’ foreign policy, especially its violation of other states’ sovereignty, has an unambiguously negative effect on its image among Kazakhstanis; and (5) that the resulting relatively negative image of the United States translates into reluctance to build or maintain ties with it. In conclusion, we highlight areas in which the United States–Kazakhstan cooperation is likely to receive a better reception.

В причудливом преломлении преданий и легенд кельтов и сказаний о нартах осетин отражаются исторические события далеких времен. Любое предание, каждый кадæг основывается в той или иной мере на реальной жизни народа, изображает народный быт и знания, религиозные представления, социальные, моральные отношения, философские взгляды. Эта энциклопедичность выражения своеобразия обычаев, нравов, философских, эстетических и морально-этических воззрений лежит в основе и ирландского, и осетинского эпического наследия. В статье предпринята попытка определить этнокультурное влияние предков осетин на формирование мифологических, эпических и культурных систем народов Европы; выявить соответствия, возникшие в эпоху индоевропейского культурного сообщества, в кельтской и скифо-осетинской мифологии. Автор статьи на основе архаичности осетинской Нартиады и кельтских преданий и легенд выделяет общие элементы в культуре единого индоевропейского общества, а также совокупность общих мотивов в двух легендах – кельтской и осетинской. Публикация дополняет разработку вопроса кельтско-скифо-осетинских мифологических и фольклорных схождений Ж. Дюмезиля, Ж. Грисвара и ряда других ученых. Высказывается мысль, что религиозные представления народов индоевропейской языковой семьи заключали в себе схожие положения, установки и предпосылки, бравших начало в общем источнике мифологических концепций и основывавшихся на одной и той же мифологической базе. Сказания о нартах осетин и легенды и предания кельтов объединяла включенность в параллельные и идентичные системы, системы организации однородного эпического мира, способствовавших сохранению древних элементов. Historical events of distant times are reflected in the bizarre refraction of the legends about the Ossetian Narts and the traditions and legends of the Celts. Any legend, each kadæg is based in one way or another on the real life of the people, depicts folk life and knowledge, religious ideas, social, moral relations, and philosophical views. This encyclopedic expression of the uniqueness of customs, mores, philosophical, aesthetic and moral-ethical views is the basis of both the Irish and Ossetian epic heritage. The article attempts to determine the ethno-cultural influence of the ancestors of the Ossetians on the formation of mythological, epic and cultural systems of the peoples of Europe; identify compliance arising in the era of Indo-European cultural community, in Celtic and Scythian-Ossetian mythology. On the basis of archaic Nart Ossetian and Celtic legends and legends the author identifies common elements in the culture of common Indo-European society, as well as a set of common motifs in the two legends – Celtic and Ossetian. The publication complements the elaboration of the issue of Celtic-Scythian-Ossetian mythological and folklore convergence by J. Dumezil, J. Grisvard and a number of other scientists. The idea advanced is that the religious ideas of the peoples of the Indo-European language family contained similar provisions, attitudes and preconditions that originated in a common source of mythological concepts and were based on the same mythological basis. The legends about the Ossetian Narts and the legends and traditions of the Celts are rooted in their inclusion in parallel and identical systems, systems of organizing a homogeneous epic world that contributed to the preservation of ancient elements.

Since English is extensively used among linguacultural users to access life opportunities, it has become a requisite foreign language in the Thai educational system. To prepare Thai learners for this new changing role of English and reduce English Language Teaching dependency on the native English variety, this study aimed to explore English lecturers’ voices in Thai universities on existing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogies at the Thai tertiary level with the research question: how do English lecturers in Thai universities perceive EFL in Thai universities? Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 25 Thai EFL university lecturers selected from ten different universities in Thailand and analyzed using content analysis. The finding reveals that EFL-oriented pedagogy plays a dominant role in English language teaching (ELT) education in Thai classrooms, illustrating three main salient themes from the study: (1) EFL pedagogies; (2) EFL materials; and (3) EFL curriculums. The result shows that the pedagogy is less responsive in the changing roles of English use and its widespread worldwide, especially among diverse linguacultural interlocutors. Hence, English university lecturers should reconsider, adjust, and made more practical glocal changes in English language teaching for the purpose of language teaching, language planning and predicting language change.

This paper extends and complements previous research on unethical leader behavior by examining the social and cultural perspectives that inform the understanding of objectional conduct among secondary school leaders in Kenya. The study used a social constructivist theoretical framework, and qualitative case study, and semi-structured interviews with school boards of governors, principals, and heads of department and school bursars. The findings revealed that cultural beliefs underpinned by the ubuntu ethic informed the school leaders' perceptions of unethical leadership behavior in the Kenyan secondary school contexts. Four sub-themes highlight acts that contradict the ubuntu values of altruism, humanness, care, and solidarity. They include disregard for community interests, neglect of care for one's kin, disregard for harmony, and elders' respect. The study concluded that western universal perspectives and definitions could not solely be relied upon to describe unethical leadership behavior in schools in non-Euro western contexts. The study contributes to the literature on unethical and ethical leadership by proposing a potential benefit in recognizing and incorporating non-western perspectives in exploring and defining the unethical leadership construct.

أسهمت الحملة الفرنسية على مصر بقيادة نابليون بونابرت في طفرة فارقة في التاريخ الحديث لمصر کان من توابعها النهضة التي شاهدتها مصر . على الصعيد الأوروبي نجد الحملة الفرنسية أظهرت اهتمام أوروبا الواضح بموقع مصر الجغرافي ومواردها الاقتصادية وميراثها الحضاري, فکان لعلماء الحملة الفرنسية دور بارز يشهد عليه مؤلفهم الشهير کتاب وصف مصر على سبيل المثال لا الحصر . محور هذا البحث دراسة رد فعل الحملة الفرنسية على المجتمع الأوروبي من خلال فرقة المماليک التي التحقت بالجيش الفرنسي بعد انسحابه من مصر خوفا من بطش السلطة العثمانية الحق نابليون بونابرت فرقة المماليک بالجيش الفرنسي عام 1802 م وجعلهم ضمن حرسه الخاص ثم بعد ذلک أصبح يطلق عليهم الحرس الإمبراطوري عام 1805م بعد تنصيبه إمبراطورا, ولقد کان لهؤلاء المماليک دور کبير في معارک نابليون وغزواته بفضل مهارتهم العسکرية وأسلحتهم مما جعل لهم مکانه احترام لدى أفراد الجيش الفرنسي والمجتمع کذلک کانوا موضع اهتمام من قبل فناني تلک الحقبة التاريخية وفيما يلي عرض لتلک المشاهد المصورة من منظور اثري يوضح جانب من جوانب تاريخ الفن وکيف کان لهؤلاء المماليک دور في الحياة الاجتماعية والعسکرية مع الاستشهاد بأمثلة لأسلحتهم - من المتاحف- والتي نالت شهرة کبيرة في ميادين القتال ترکز هذه الدراسة على التأثير المملوکي في نوع من أنواع التصوير الأوروبي وهو تصوير انجازات نابليون العسکرية وتظهر تلک الصور أيضا التأثير على المجتمع الفرنسي ومن خضع لدولتهم من مجتمعات الشعوب الأوروبية The cultural influences of the Egyptian-French Mamluk squad in the French army Artistic archaeological study (1216 - 1245AH / 1802 - 1830 AD) Astract: The French campaign against Egypt led by Napoleon Bonaparte caused a milestone in modern history, one of the consequences of which was the renaissance that Egypt witnessed during the era of Muhammad Ali, who realized the importance of civil and military sciences and industry in establishing the modern state, which he learned from the French experience and Napoleon's establishment of his empire. An economic foundation upon which the pillars of the state are based to serve the aspirations of the founder of the Alawite family and his successors in power after him. The focus of this research is to study the reaction of the French campaign to European society through the Mamluk squad coming from Egypt, who joined the French army after its withdrawal for fear of being oppressed by the Ottoman authority. It then became called the Imperial Guard in the year (1220 AH / 1805 AD) after Napoleon's inauguration as emperor, these Mamluks had a great role in Napoleon's battles and conquests thanks to their military skill and weapons, which made them respected by members of the French army and society, as well as they were the subject of interest before The artists of that historical era, therefore, this study presents the Mamluk influence in a type of European painting, which is the depiction of Napoleon’s military achievements, which is what is called artistic propaganda. The research was divided into three research axes represented in the emergence of the Mamluk squads in Egypt known as the Mamluk Guard and the second axis manifestations of the influence of the Mamluk artistic and social sect in European society. In the study of these three themes.

The main purpose of this study was to reveal the experiences and problems faced by the classroom teachers who just started the teaching profession. The phenomenology approach was employed in the study since the study examined the experiences of classroom teachers who just started teaching by interviewing them. Sample selection was determined by using a purposeful sampling method to understand the phenomenon. In this regard, criterion sampling, one of the purposive sampling methods, was utilized in the study to obtain in-depth information about the phenomenon. Within the scope of the research, two basic criteria were taken into account, which is not being in the teaching profession for more than three years and working in schools with different socio-economic levels. The interviews were conducted online with the teachers at the times and dates determined by the teachers. The reason for conducting the interviews online was that the classroom teachers participating in the study worked in different cities. A total of 20 interviews were conducted, including classroom teachers from different regions of Turkey. Thematic analysis was used in the analysis of the study data. According to the results, classroom teachers in their first years, the study determined that teachers expressed their experiences in the context of “professional experiences” and “sociocultural-regional experiences.”

Ethnicity is one of the critical factors in achieving learning outcomes. A specific learning model is needed to overcome the learning process with multi-ethnic students. Quasi-experimental research was carried out with four majoring ethnicities, i.e., Javanese, Banjar, Kutai and Buginese, in senior high school with class XI majoring in natural science in Samarinda. This study aimed to determine the effect of applying PBL supported by Think-Pair-Share learning models in empowering the understanding of concepts about cells and tissues of the four ethnicities’ students. The experimental design used a non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group. The instrument was a questionnaire for the survey and questions for the pretest-posttest. The data were analysed by Analysis of Co-Variance followed by the LSD test. The results showed that the application of PBL supported by Think-Pair-Share significantly affected (p < 0.05) the concepts understanding of multi-ethnic students about cells and tissues. Keywords: Cells, Tissues, Concepts understanding, Ethnicity, Problem-Based Learning, Think-Pair-Share

Many theories have been proposed to discuss Sufism in terms of its linguistic origins and its role in spiritual knowledge, its concepts and ideas, and cultural influences. Both Muslim and orientalist scholars have offered opposing views on the beginnings of Sufism. Unfortunately, Western orientalists were the first to research this topic, and their ideas greatly influenced later scholars. This study examines how early British orientalists, particularly Sir William Jones, approached the study of Sufism. Jones represents the early development of British orientalism, which started in the form of personal travel accounts long before orientalist societies were established to support them. Only the later ‘experts on the Orient’ created scholarly circles that followed a more objective and systematic approach to studying Muslim cultures, yet often persisted in the erroneous claim that Sufism was an external and foreign element in Islamic culture.

Starting from an extra-linguistic reflection on the Phrygian word βέκος, “ bread”, inspired by a 1997 article by Pietro Vannicelli, this paper is an attempt to briefly highlight the belonging of Phrygian to the so-called Balkanische Sprachbund, and above all the deep genetic relationship between Greek and Phrygian. The two languages developed from the same Balkan linguistic environment, but the migration of the Phrygians to Anatolia in the late second millennium BC interrupted their geographical continuity. Phrygian, attested by a huge number of inscriptions from the ninth century BC to the third century AD, turned out to be a Balkan linguistic island surrounded by several indigenous languages belonging to the Anatolian group. The Phrygians became part of that Anatolian environment, as many cultural influences, but also some linguistic features, can easily prove. However, the original link with the sister language resists, becoming even stronger after the gradual Hellenization of the Anatolian peninsula by the Greeks, and the inscriptions provide the evidences to investigate backwards their genetic relatedness., À partir d’une réflexion extralinguistique sur le mot phrygien βέκος, «pain » , inspirée d’un article de Pietro Vannicelli de 1997, on essaiera de mettre brièvement en évidence l’appartenance du phrygien à la Balkanische Sprachbund, et en particulier le profond lien de parenté génétique avec le grec. Les deux langues sont en effet issues du même milieu linguistique balkanique, mais la migration du peuple phrygien vers l’Anatolie à la fin du iie millénaire avant J.-C. interrompt leur continuité géographique. Le phrygien, attesté uniquement par des inscriptions étalées du ixe siècle avant J.-C. au iiie siècle après J.-C., devient alors une île linguistique balkanique entourée de plusieurs langues indigènes appartenant au groupe anatolien. Le peuple phrygien s’intègre dans ce milieu, comme les influences culturelles, mais aussi certains traits linguistiques, nous en témoignent. Toutefois les liens avec la langue soeur résistent, devenant même plus forts suite à la progressive hellénisation de la péninsule anatolienne par les Grecs, et nous fournissent à travers les inscriptions le matériel pour étudier à rebours leur parenté génétique., Anfosso Milena.

Although the notion of gender has a biological meaning, the concept of gender refers to a social construction that emerges from a biological basis. This construction includes cultural definitions ofmasculinity and femininity that aremore appropriate for social life. In the definition and distinction of gender roles in social life construction, the discussion of the public and private sphere is seen. Textbooks have an important place as a dominant discourse toolin the public and private sphere debate. Therefore, textbooks in general and history textbooks in particular have an important share in this debate.Textbooks convey stereotypes of gender roles to students and contain descriptions of roles. On the other hand, history textbooksconstruct and legitimize the historical context along with the definitions of roles. Therefore, history textbooks have an important share in the production of women's gender roles. In this context, it is determined that the purpose of the study is to evaluate the gender roles of women in compulsory or history courses textbooks in the 2019-2020 academic year in Turkey. In the research, document analysis is carried out using a case study, one of the qualitative research designs. 9, 10, 11 and 12th-grade history textbooks and 11th-grade elective History of Turkish Culture and Civilization, 12th grade Turkish Republic History of Revolution and Kemalism and 12th grade elective Contemporary Turkish and World History textbooks were examined. In the study, the discourse repertoires built on women's gender roles were determined using critical discourse analysis. In the textbooks, it has been determined that the gender roles of women are associated with traditional roles such as motherhood, child-rearing, and sewing and embroidery. Besides, although it is argued that women are the subjects of the public sphere in the textbooks, it has been seen that the roles of the private sphere are concretized, clarified, legitimized and reproduced with various examples. As a result, history textbooks have been shaped in a male-dominated structure and the basic discourse produced from this is that women are a part of private life, not the public sphere. To eliminate the disadvantageous situation of women regarding gender roles in history textbooks, guidelines for textbook authors should be prepared in the history course curriculum.

SUMMARY STATEMENT Culture influences how we communicate, teach, and learn. Debriefings are laden with cultural influences. Without attention to cultural considerations, accepted debriefing techniques might not reach the desired outcome and, in certain cultures, may even harm teacher-learner relationships. We explore cultural considerations in healthcare simulation debriefing and offer guidance for debriefers to gain awareness of potential cultural biases.

Purpose: This study examined how social and cultural influences are affecting the government of Trinidad & Tobago's decision-making policies as it relates to the growth of the LGBTQ traveler tourism segment, which is currently threatening the sustainability and competitiveness of the country's tourism industry. This study also aimed to add to the literature on gay tourism in that nation and region as a whole. Research methodology: Data for this research were collected from various sources, including existing literature on the industry's competitiveness, followed by a review of official government surveys, reports and other media documents, and academic research literature. Results: The study's findings reveal that the leaders' lack of failure to understand the economic power of the LGBTQ traveler segment is short-sighted and has negative effects on the fragile nature of the industry's ability to compete globally, lack of long-term vision of the leaders. Limitations: This study relied on secondary data, limiting direct views from individuals in the local communities due to the country being on lockdown since March of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Contribution: This study makes a few suggestions for further improvement, such as leaders in that nation deciphering existing buggery laws publicly, to show urgency and commitment to this vulnerable traveler segment; conducting robust discussions with various interest groups that are presenting barriers to changes that could result in a more robust industry, and finally, consider the use of images of members of the LGBTQ community in all marketing promotions.

The aim of the study was to demonstrate in empirical terms how cultural forces shape media coverage of global events. To buttress this fact, the spotlight was on international media coverage of the war in Iraq. The Iraq War was a defining media event. To underpin cultural influences on the war coverage, the paper reviewed five studies (Ravi, 2005; Dimitrova & Connolly-Ahern, 2007; Kolmer & Semetko, 2009; Barker, 2012, Gou et al., 2015) on the coverage of the war in different countries. Results revealed that the cultural context within which each news source was situated shaped the news representation of the war. The cultural factors that influenced the coverage were beyond the control of journalists and their media organizations, suggesting that culture is an important variable that should be considered when studying news production and coverage. The findings reinforce the widely held view that news production is shaped by competing influences, including cultural values.

Lithuanian conjurations (zagovory) constitute a unique part of Lithuanian folklore. In the collection of conjurations’ manuscripts described in the publication of Daiva Vaitkevičienė (2008), we will find records of these archaic texts in various languages, including Polish. Polish-language conjurations constitute a separate subgroup in the Balto-Slavic context. Following the chronological criterion, we are dealing with texts of pre-Christian and after-Christ origins. Due to mutual cultural influences as well as functioning of different languages within Lithuania, it is usually not possible to determine the original language of conjuration. Only in a few cases we are able to state, which version of conjuration is its translation.

Recently, a mnemonic device, SHORES, was created for counselors to utilize with clients with suicidal ideation. The acronym of SHORES stands for Skills and strategies for coping (S); Hope (H); Objections (O); Reasons to live and Restricted means (R); Engaged care (E); and Support (S). In this manuscript, SHORES is introduced as a way for school counselors to address protective factors against suicide. In addition, the authors review the literature on comprehensive school suicide prevention and suicide protective factors; describe the relevance of a suicide protective factors mnemonic that school counselors can use; and illustrate the mnemonic’s application in classroom guidance, small-group, and individual settings.
