In recent years, the adoption of English Medium Instruction (EMI) in non-Anglophone countries has garnered significant attention, particularly within STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs. Saudi Arabia, driven by the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, has implemented EMI across its higher education institutions to foster internationalization and enhance English proficiency among students. This paper reviews the current state of EMI in Saudi STEM programs, drawing on a comprehensive analysis of the socio-cultural, educational, and linguistic contexts. It explores the motivations behind the shift to EMI, the challenges encountered by students and educators, and the broader implications for educational quality and equity. The transition from Arabic Medium Instruction (AMI) to EMI in Saudi Arabia's STEM disciplines aims to prepare students for global competitiveness. However, this shift presents several challenges. Students often struggle with the sudden change in the medium of instruction, leading to difficulties in understanding complex scientific concepts. Furthermore, the quality of education may be compromised as students and educators navigate the linguistic demands of EMI. The potential cultural and linguistic impact on Arabic language and identity also raises concerns. This review synthesizes findings from various studies and theoretical frameworks to provide a holistic understanding of the EMI landscape in Saudi Arabia. The paper discusses the strategies employed by students and educators to cope with EMI, including preparatory programs and support mechanisms. It also highlights the role of government policies and institutional practices in shaping the EMI experience. While EMI aims to elevate the quality of education and English proficiency, it inadvertently creates educational inequalities. Students from private or international schools, who often have better English skills, are at an advantage compared to their peers from state schools. This disparity necessitates a re-evaluation of EMI policies to ensure inclusive and equitable education for all students. In conclusion, while EMI in Saudi STEM programs holds promise for advancing educational and economic goals, it requires careful consideration of the challenges and implications. Policymakers and educators must collaborate to address these challenges, ensuring that EMI serves as a tool for educational enhancement rather than a barrier to learning. Future research should continue to explore the long-term effects of EMI on student outcomes and the broader educational landscape in Saudi Arabia.

According to Croissant & Lorenz, Southeast Asia as a region is an extraordinarily diverse collection of states, which vary widely in history, demographics, culture, economy, political systems, and the political challenges they face. Geographically, Southeast Asia is divided into an insular or maritime region, comprising Brunei, Indonesia, parts of Malaysia, the Philippines, and Timor-Leste, and a mainland or continental part, including Burma, Cambodia, Laos, the Malay Peninsula, and Vietnam (Croissant & Lorenz, 2018). Political and cultural synthesis can be seen in the way that Southeast Asian states have adapted to various external influences and internal challenges over time. Political and cultural synthesis can also be seen in the way that Southeast Asian societies have developed their forms of nationalism, identity, and civil society that reflect their diverse ethnic, religious, and linguistic backgrounds. The paper argues that political and cultural synthesis is a key feature and process of Southeast Asia, which is the result of the historical interactions and influences among different religions, cultures, and regions within and outside Asia. The paper analyzes various examples of cultural synthesis in Southeast Asian literature and cinema, and how they reflect and contribute to the diversity and complexity of the region. The text argues that this is a key feature and process of Southeast Asia, which is the result of the historical interactions and influences among different religions, cultures, and regions within and outside Asia.

This research explored the use of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) by Physics teachers in teaching grade 10. The study employed a qualitative research design. The tools used were semi-structured interviews, class observation and document (lesson plan) analysis with teachers. The qualitative data were analyzed based on predetermined themes. The main findings of this study revealed that the teacher displayed adequate use of PCK, in the form of content knowledge and knowledge of teaching strategies to teach two topics of force and motion (gravitational force and gravitational field). However, they displayed limited knowledge of learners’ misconceptions on the topic and the use of alternative teaching strategies for learners with difficulty. Further, it was found that the teachers used social networks, lesson observations, and lesson review to enhance their PCK in Physics.

Indians began emigrating to Gulf countries in the 1970s – the era of the discovery of oil. When people move from one geographical or political border to another, they carry the culture and traditions of their homeland. In the host land, migrants develop nostalgia for their homeland and reminisce of it through culture, traditions and material objects associated with the homeland. This research applies the theory of transnational cultural hybridity to understand the adaptation of migrants’ moving cultural identities; in this case, the women Indian diaspora in the UAE. Women are considered to be cultural torchbearers in the migrant population; the paper assesses how they inhabit the dichotomous and liminal third space of culture. It is understood they ascertain the ‘third space’ and are seen to be ‘longing’ for the homeland by bringing back fragments of India in the form of spices, religious symbols and attire and temporary migration triggers intense longingness.

India is an agricultural country consisting 67% of rural area geographically. Agriculture and its confederated conditioning act as the main source of livelihood for further than 80% population of pastoral India. It provides employment to roughly 52% of labour. Its donation to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is between 14 to 15. The Government has introduced several schemes and programs that support the lesser robotization of Indian Agriculture, in the light of its commitment to transfigure the husbandry sector and double growers’ income by 2022-23. The Sub Mission on Agricultural Mechanization of (SMAM) is an important action of the Government, in this direction. The country is developing day by day and inventions also take place with a growing country, we also developed it by using innovative products which are discovered for our ease. We’ve to remain in sync with inventions to remain up with current times and make full use of them. At present, demands are different compared to the demands nearly a decade ago. For producing high-quality products growers have to keep pace with changing times. For perfecting your productivity in fields you have to use tractor tools for scattering, tending, digging etc. This application can increase your effectiveness, save lots of plutocrats, saves time etc. so, Tools are introduced for the comfort of the growers. We’re noticing the top 10 tools which are perfect for you to be used with your tractor, they can help you to increase your productivity and effectiveness in the fields. They’re Rotavator, Cultivator, Plough, Trailer, Harrow, Roto seed Drillmaster, Planter, Baler, Sprayer, Straw Reaper etc. All these tools are used by a tractor. Again tractor has their own subtypes similar to Utility tractors which we see generally in large, Compact Tractors, Row Crop Tractors, Industrial Tractors, Garden Tractors, and Carrier Tractors, Earthmoving tractors, Autonomous, two-wheeler type etc. On par with these machinery, growers its confederated sectors like Major Irrigation, Medium Irrigation and Minor Irrigation, PanchayatRaj, Rural Development, Agriculture, Other civil works in pastoral areas use majorly Bulldozers, Excavators, Backhoe, Graders, Trenchers, Payload, Cranes, Compactors, Dump Exchanges, Boring Machines, Wheel Tractor Scrapers etc. in large. All these types of Machines (or) (and) Vehicles are specially designed and manufactured for respective purposes. Still, the operation of said Machines (or) (and) Vehicles is fleetly increased in the last two decades and it’s going to be important large in near future.

The US-led invasion into Iraq in 2003 triggered an endless war that unleashed new cycles of violence and left the region devastated. Following the 9/11 attacks on the US soil, the West conjured up an image of Iraq as a nerve centre of terrorism. In the months preceding the invasion, the dominant narrative that revolved around the War on Terror sought to project Iraq as a nation that needed to be “liberated” and “civilised” by the West. Iraqi women were particularly (mis)represented as oppressed victims of an abusive patriarchal system, devoid of agency and freedom. Voices emerging from Iraq in the subsequent years have countered this portrayal of their country. This paper explores the myriad ways in which Baghdad Burning by Iraqi blogger Riverbend challenges the dominant narrative of the US-led invasion and in the process, constructs an alternative narrative as a civilian who witnessed and suffered the impact of war from close quarters. As an Iraqi, Muslim woman who speaks her mind, she subverts the gendered liberation discourse of the war and argues that women’s freedom in fact plummeted with the radicalisation of the public space enforced by Iran-inspired Shia political parties in the new US-backed post-war regime. Her account of the invasion goes beyond the usual rhetoric of statistics and policies, and offers an insight into what the occupation and the ensuing violence meant to ordinary Iraqis. In doing so, she shatters the myth of Iraq and gives an insider’s perspective of the country whose modern establishments and secular ethos were destroyed by the invasion.

Atrocities against Schedule caste is the scope and subject matter of this paper. Moreover, in this paper we will be discussing in detail the atrocities against the scheduled caste in India with special reference to the type, causes for the crimes and the impact it has on the people of the scheduled caste and tribes. The atrocities against these marginalized castes can be traced back by their historical background which depicts the emergence of crime and ill treatment against these castes which is too painful to be forgotten. The critical analysis of the crime rate against the schedule caste across the decade made us acknowledge the fact that even after achieving freedom in 1947, India is still captured by the clutches of brutal caste system due to which the atrocities have been suffered by these schedule caste and tribe in the era of modernity and technological development. Even the legislative support provided in the Indian Constitution and various special laws for schedule caste by various jurist have not been able to prevent them the way they should be due to various lacuna in the implementation procedure as well as lacuna in the administration system. This paper further elaborates the research methodology and findings of various research work.

Health care has transformed intensely with the Digital Era. Smartphone is one of the digital tools which change the traditional way of teaching-learning nowadays. There is the widespread use of Smartphones as a part of the ‘Learning Management System’ in dental healthcare. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, regular classroom and clinical educational activities for dental students were almost disturbed globally. ‘WHO Guidelines’, appeal to everyone to stop the spread of pandemic by maintaining social distancing. As per the Government and University guidelines, colleges must continue education through an online platform so that students should not be deprived of education. As this current situation is unpredictable, Smartphones are routinely used by many students to continue digital education. Therefore the perception of students on the usage of Smartphones as an easily available efficient teaching-learning tool in dentistry is the need of the hour. So, the aim of the study was to assess the perception of undergraduate dental students about the use of Smartphones in dentistry as an efficient teaching-learning tool during COVID – 19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study was carried out at VSPM Dental College and Research Centre, Nagpur. Pre-validated questionnaires were provided to the dental undergraduate students containing 14 closed-ended questions and one open-ended question among approximately 500 students through Google Form. 99% of students used smartphones for e-learning. Smartphones are convenient and easily accessible devices during this pandemic situation to continue teaching and learning. Smartphones in dentistry are really an efficient digital teaching-learning tool during COVID – 19 pandemic situations.

There is a misconception that diversity is irrelevant to understanding the workplace in other parts of the world, particularly in Asia. In other words, countries in Asia, like the Philippines, are homogenous. Today, western countries and other developed regions are not the only places where the workforce is becoming more diversified. Hence, this study aims to make a unique contribution to the diverse literature in the country by examining the relationships between diversity, inclusion, and organizational climate in the context of a perceived homogeneous culture. The influence of demographic characteristics like age, gender, tenure, and position was also considered in the study. Using a sample of 40 Filipino employees in a higher education institution in Cebu City, the results show average employee perceptions about diversity, inclusion, and organizational climate. The perception of diversity was positively linked to inclusion and the organizational climate. However, perceptions of inclusion and organizational climate were not statistically meaningful. On the other hand, gender, tenure, and position were closely linked to employee’s perceptions of the organizational climate. Specifically, gender-diverse employees, new employees, and those in teaching positions have a more positive perception of the organizational climate. Therefore, assessing the organizational climate is highly relevant in promoting and improving inclusion and diversity in the workplace.
