The dual benefits of comic reading: Enhancing mental health and language learning
No full textThis study examines how comic reading enhances mental health and English language skills by exploring its role in stress reduction, emotional well-being, and language acquisition. It focuses on the dual benefits comics offer as therapeutic tools for emotional processing and as effective resources for improving vocabulary, comprehension, and cultural understanding in English learners. Method. A mixed-method approach was adopted, combining survey responses from 100 participants and semi-structured interviews with 15 individuals. Quantitative data were analysed to identify trends in mental health and language improvements, while qualitative data provided deeper insights into personal experiences with comic reading. Results and Discussion. The findings revealed that 75% of participants experienced stress relief from comic reading, with 50% noting improved mood. Emotional connections to characters fostered empathy and self-reflection, aiding in resilience. In language learning, 70% of English learners reported better vocabulary retention and comprehension, highlighting the role of visual cues and narrative context in supporting language acquisition. Challenges such as time constraints and limited research on specific genres were identified, but comics consistently proved to be engaging tools for personal and linguistic growth. Conclusion. Comics are valuable resources for enhancing emotional well-being and language proficiency. Their integration into mental health programs and educational curricula can foster resilience and cultural understanding while providing an enjoyable learning experience. This study underscores the potential of comics as a versatile medium that bridges the gap between entertainment, education, and emotional health
Unveiling Power Relations: A Comparative Analysis of Individual and Group Influence in Wish (2023) Movie
No full textThis study analyzes the representation of individual and collective power in Wish (2023) through qualitative thematic analysis, drawing on Thomas Hobbes’ theory of individual power and Michel Foucault’s concept of relational power. The findings reveal that: 1) the protagonist’s pursuit of autonomy reflects Hobbes’ notion of individual power; 2) the interconnection of magic and authority illustrates Foucault’s link between knowledge and power; and 3) the narrative highlights resistance to domination at both personal and societal levels. The film demonstrates how cinematic texts critique power structures, offering insights into authority, resistance, and collective agency in contemporary contexts
Biochemical Features, Metabolism AND Medical Importance OF Sclerostin: A Review Article
No full textSclerostin is a glycoprotein that was encoded by the SOST gene and crucially described as a key regulator in bone metabolism and skeletal homeostasis. The original discovery provided an insight into how Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor, sclerostin regulates bone formation through osteoblasts and their activities while giving information concerning regulation of bone resorption. Besides this basic physiological function, many studies have revealed that Sclerostin was involved in metabolic, vascular, and immunological pathways thus emphasized clinical interests in such diseases as osteoporosis or cardiovascular disorders together with chronic kidney disease. Herein biochemical details and metabolic routes of Sclerostin besides its medical importance are discussed raising considerations about using it as a biomarker as well as therapeutic targeting. bone remodeling is an extremely complicated and dynamic process controlled by many biochemical factors with the central inhibitory role of sclerostin. At present, this protein occupies a unique place in the intersection of bone biology, systemic regulation, and clinical intervention-protein with high biomedical importance. Though further research on its structure, metabolism, and function would certainly lead to more therapeutic breakthroughs-the-more unveiling new dimensions about health and disease-this article attempts a review-in-ever modern-related-literature describing biochemical nature, metabolic control, and medical importance of sclerostin that make it highly relevant in skeletal as well as systemic physiology
Kidney Diseases in Women of Reproductive Age Against the Background of Physiological Pregnancy
No full textWith an uncomplicated pregnancy in a woman's body, a number of adaptive and adaptive processes develop (hypervolemia, fluid accumulation, changes in the content of electrolytes and non-electrolytes), in which the kidneys are directly involved. On the other hand, the appearance of uteroplacental blood circulation, an increase in regional hemodynamics during pregnancy cannot but affect the functional state of the kidneys of a pregnant woman.During physiological pregnancy, specific changes in kidney function occur, aimed at ensuring the normal process of gestation. However, ultrasound studies of the kidneys using intravital biopsy did not reveal any significant changes in the structure of the parenchyma

Mother tongue matters: A critical study of indigenous language integration in formal education systems
No full textThis study critically examines the integration of indigenous languages in formal education systems, emphasizing the significance of mother tongue instruction in fostering inclusive, culturally relevant, and effective learning environments. The primary aim of this research is to explore the extent to which indigenous languages are incorporated into school curricula, assess the challenges and benefits associated with such integration, and analyse the implications for students’ cognitive development, identity formation, and academic achievement. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of linguistic human rights and sociocultural learning theory, the study investigates how language policy and pedagogical practices either support or hinder the use of mother tongue instruction. A qualitative research method was employed, utilizing document analysis and semi-structured interviews with educators, policymakers, and community leaders in regions where indigenous language programs are either implemented or lacking. The data collected was thematically analysed to identify recurring patterns, contradictions, and contextual variations in the treatment of indigenous languages within formal education systems. The findings reveal a persistent marginalization of indigenous languages, despite national and international policies advocating for multilingual education. In cases where indigenous languages are integrated, improvements in students’ engagement, comprehension, and cultural pride were noted. However, numerous obstacles persist, including lack of trained teachers, insufficient teaching materials, and limited institutional support. The analysis underscores the need for more inclusive and participatory policy-making that involves local communities and recognizes the pedagogical and cultural value of indigenous languages. In conclusion, the study advocates for a transformative shift in education policy and practice, promoting indigenous languages not only as mediums of instruction but also as essential elements of cultural preservation and empowerment. Effective integration requires collaborative efforts among governments, educators, and indigenous communities to ensure that every child can learn in a language they understand and identify with

A Comparative Study Between Manual vs. Electric Dental Anesthesia
No full textElectric Dental Anesthesia (EDA) defined as a technique that achieving a local anesthesia by applying of “Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation” (TENS). TENS first discovered in 1970s and introduced as “alleviate chronic pain” (intractable cancer pain, Phantom pain, back pain, …) and the acute pain in addition to find the utilities in areas of the sports medicine. The study aims to compare the effectiveness, onset time, and patient comfort levels between manual and electric dental anesthesia. It is hypothesized that electric anesthesia provides faster onset, lower pain perception, and higher patient satisfaction compared to manual methods. Despite the benefits, electronic anesthesia may have limitations including cost, equipment availability, and operator training requirements. However, its potential to improve patient experience and reduce failure-related complications justifies further investment and adoption in clinical practice
