Yet the use of mother tongue languages and the cultures with the effect of digitalization have not been expired but transformed. In this article, the transformation process of both written and spoken versions of mother tongue languages into new inevitable digital language and the effects on cultures is examined by giving examples from the world languages and Turkish.

Jurgen Habermas in Legitimation Crisis (1975) argued that advanced capitalism comes with complex contradictions that are not easily solved. As global monopoly capital becomes the predominant economic arrangement, state intervention is needed to provide steering for the economy to deliver growth and stability. Politically, states must inspire confidence and mass loyalty to the system, the entire political system. Political participation is limited, as corporate interests truncate real democracy. When belief lags in existing institutions to provide a viable life in the system, a crisis of legitimation ensues as people begin to withdraw their support for the system, typically by the public’s refusal to purchase goods or agreeably (peacefully) protest the status quo. As a direct threat to the economy, the refusal to buy products threatens to wreck the entire system centered on the economy.

There is no doubt that the implementation of CLIL in Spain changed the current education system. Students need more help as they are facing a new challenge which includes many difficulties for them. For this reason, the main objective of this paper is to justify and evaluate the importance of scaffolding both for input and output phases, in addition to the justification of its importance throughout the entire learning process. With the aim of justifying the use of scaffolding in a CLIL classroom as an essential element for students to achieve the objectives of each educational stage, this work investigates different authors and psycholinguistic theories related to scaffolding; different techniques that teachers can use in each of the CLIL subjects according to the learning objectives; the importance of the use of ICT to motivate students and the need to adapt learning to new paradigms in education. Therefore, in this paper all these topics are evaluated to finally justify and determine that scaffolding is essential in Primary Education because of some reasons such as students’ necessities, motivation factors, academic difficulties, or activities in which they use several skills at the same time, among others.

The disproportionately high rates of suicidality among adolescents with minority sexual orientations is a concerning and pressing social problem with important implications for mental health, public health, social policy, and social justice. Social workers hold a unique position from which to address the issue’s complexities. This study uses data from the Human Rights Campaign’s 2016 State Equality Index and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance to assess the relationships between community and school climates to suicide attempts among adolescents identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or unsure of their sexual orientation (LGB-Q). Guided by the principles of minority stress and social identity theories, it was hypothesized that LGB-Q students in unsupportive environments would have a greater likelihood of suicidality. In 2017, a total of 107,664 (Nw=9,069,152) 9th to 12th grade students completed the CDC’s survey. Within this study, 13,749 (Nw=1,077,330) students identified as LGB-Q. The results of a binary logistic regression demonstrating the importance of supportive climates predicting significant variance in suicide attempts. With social workers in the unique position of enacting changes to social policy and improving climate, modeling behaviors for adolescents, interacting with them on a daily basis, and being involved in counseling with their familiar unit, it is imperative they have the knowledge and skills necessary to address the needs of those identifiable as LGB-Q.

During his pontificate Pope Francis has remarked on several economic issues in many proclamations and documents. Specifically, Pope Francis holds free market accountable for world’s poverty and inequality in distribution of income. The objectives of this article are the following: (1) To highlight the founding principles of free market, (2) to focus on Pope’s insistence to relate several economic problems in the world to free market, (3) to provide factual and empirical evidence that neutralizes Pope Francis’s account of dark side of the free market principles. Data sources are World Bank, United Nations Development Program and Heritage Foundation. Correlation and scattered diagram techniques are used to measure the relationship between different variables. Empirical results relating poverty, human development, innovative entrepreneurship and income inequality to free market show the following; (a) Global poverty rate measured in poverty gap and headcount (% of population) have declined since 1990 through 2019. (b) Human Development Index (HDI) estimated by United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and Economic Freedom Index (EFI) estimated by the Heritage Foundation are highly positively correlated. (c) Global Innovation Index (GII estimated by World Intellectual Property (WIPO) and Economic Freedom Index are highly positively related. (d) Gini Coefficient, a measure of the degree of income inequality estimated by the World Bank, and economic freedom index are insignificantly negatively correlated.

This research aimed to examine not the dramatic text itself and the values and messages originated from it, but its rendition on stage as a composition of the artistic spectacle that is the performance, and therefore the spectator’s reception of the transcribed values and messages conveyed by the stage rendition. The dramatic text indeed acquires meaning as a sight, not as a reading. Several creative and sociological criteria, as well as variables of other nature, such as directing, acting, scenography, music, visual framing, stage space, and time, must be considered for this to occur. These elements influence the way that the message is delivered to the audience. As a result, if we wish to examine the Past of Values in Ancient Greek Drama and Theater, we should consider both the values enshrined in the texts and how the spectator receives and perceives them.

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the relationship between principals change leadership and teachers professional capital. Adopting a teacher perspective, the researchers of this study investigated teachers views on the effects of principals change leadership on establishing teachers community, respecting teachers decisions, participating in school decision-making, and incorporating information technology. In this study, 485 elementary and secondary school teachers from Taipei, Taiwan were interviewed using a questionnaire. Relevant data were collected using a principals change leadership scale and teachers professional capital scale. The results of a canonical correlation analysis indicated a significant positive correlation between principals change leadership style and teachers professional capital ? = .90. Among the styles of principals change leadership, teachers viewed transformational leadership most highly and agreed that establishment of a professional community contributes to social capital. This study indicated that according to teachers views, principals adopting transformational leadership styles, acknowledging teachers knowledge and expertise, promoting teachers professional community, developing teaching practices, respecting teachers teaching decisions, encouraging teachers participation in school decision-making, and encouraging application of technological media in teaching are all conducive to the generation of teachers professional capital.

Nigerias democracy is under threat following growing trend of vote buying and selling in elections. Capacity, competence and character are not parameters for assessing electoral candidates. Cash-for-vote or see and buy is emerging as the major determinant of electoral choice. Besides being illegal as explicitly stated in Nigerias electoral laws, vote buying also has a tendency to aggravate corruption in public offices as those who hold public mandates are made to seek corrupt means of enriching themselves towards future elections. Vote buying, in its literal sense, is a simple economic exchange. Candidates buy and citizens-electorate sell votes, as they buy and sell apples, shoes, or television sets. The act of vote buying by this view is a contract, or perhaps an auction in which voters sell their votes to the highest bidder. This is why money bags venture into politics with ultimate ambition of capturing power with ease. Public offices have become chattels with rich politicians becoming mercantile too. This menace is undermining electoral choices and could imperil Nigerias democracy if not abated. It is on this note, the paper critically examine the concepts of vote-buying and voting behavior, and its negative effects or challenges it reposed on the electoral and democratic consolidation in Nigeria using qualitative method of data collection. The study revealed that vote buying politics has a great setback on voting behavior and democratic governance in Nigeria. The paper posited that vote buying is consistent with the continued materialization and commercialization of party politics in prebendal Nigeria wherein electioneering and partisan relations are commodified in a manner that translates to economic exchange. Elections provide citizens with a say in the decisions that affect their everyday lives and provide governments with a legitimate authority to govern. However, only when elections are free, fair and credible can they help promote democracy, human rights and security. When elections are fraudulent and subject to vote rigging, they have the potential to trigger political instability and violence. It is also revealed that effective governance, virile democratic institutions and citizenship rights are achievable only when undue interferences are avoided. The paper further revealed that any polity where voters are not completely or as much as possible insulated from outside pressure most especially, they cannot choose freely. It notes that if power and money influence take the centre stage of determining the elector choices, the very essence of constitutional rights of the citizens to freely exercise their freedom of choice and equality in the democratic society may be called to question while such good governance and development will remain a mirage. The study contends that resolving the issue and reversing the trend may involve general economic empowerment of voters citizens, far more than and beyond casual tinkering with modalities of voting and improving balloting secrecy by the authorities. It will take good governance, legal enforcement, prioritisation of employment generation, restoration of ideological base for political parties, holistic war on corruption, and effective poverty reduction as policy options towards reversing and remedying the ugly trend.

Objective: With the increase in recent number of mental health problems including PTSD, depression and substance abuse in veteran population, there is an increased need for effective mental health services. According to the US department of Veteran Affairs, as a veteran who has been honorably discharged, he or she can have veteran medical insurance for free lifelong, which allows them to go to any VA hospitals for free for any services that are provided there, including telemedicine. The aim of this study was to assess if student veterans are willing to utilize telemedicine for behavioral health services, and if not, what were the factors that influenced their decisions and opinions about telemedicine. Method & Participants: Online anonymous survey which was distributed randomly to student veterans. Quantitative data was collected and analyzed by Microsoft Excel. Subjects were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria stated in the study. Subjects were asked to complete the survey which lasted approximately 5 mins and were also given the opportunity to watch a video which educated them about telemedicine. Results: The survey was sent to 150 student veterans and was completed by 74 students, n=74. Age, gender, and ethnicity showed to play an important role in student veterans willingness in using telehealth. More than 50% of subjects claimed that they were not sure if the service was covered under their current insurance. In total, 80% of the respondents who never used telemedicine showed interest in utilizing telehealth whether they had been aware of it or not. In terms of future interest and telehealth promotion, 75% student veterans responded definitely will to not only the question on using telehealth again, but also to that of recommending telehealth to their friends and family. Conclusion: This study found that making student veterans aware of telehealth services yielded a strong correlation in the willingness to use the service in the future. Subjects also reported a high degree of satisfaction with telemedicine and a willingness to participate in telemedicine clinical care in the future. This survey also provided knowledge for the participants as those who were not aware were educated via a video. Questions presented in the survey after the video revealed a positive feedback in the willingness to use telehealth in the future.
