First Steps on Comprehensive Understanding of Biosafety and Toxicity of Natural Extract from Calotropis procera Seeds, New Insights Towards Sustainability

Although North Korea is one of the most closed countries in the world, it has long been pursuing international cooperation with other countries in order to upgrade the quality of its film industry to international standards. Preceding studies on this topic have mainly focused on the political influences behind filmmaking in general and very few studies have exclusively dealt with North Korea’s international co-productions. In this respect, in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of the internalization strategy of North Korea’s film productions, this paper uses the global value chain as a framework for analysis. This approach helps understand the internationalization pattern of each value chain activity of film co-productions in terms of the film location and the methods for collaborating with foreign partners. By dividing the evolution of North Korea’s international co-productions into three periods since the 1980s, this paper finds that although North Korea has shown mixed results with different aspects of the film value chain, it has generally improved its internationalization over the three periods. This paper further provides strategic directions for North Korea by learning some of the successful Chinese experiences in the film sector regarding collaboration with foreign partners—to foster a win-win situation for all involved parties.

The question of clarifying the meaning of a given Arabic text is a subtle one, especially as high literature texts can often be read in more than one way. Arabic is rich in figurative language and this can lead to variety in meaning, sometimes in ways that either adhere closely or diverge far from the ‘original’ meaning. In order to understand a fine literary text in Arabic, one must have a comprehensive understanding of the issue of taʾwīl, and the concept that multiplicity of meaning does not necessarily lead to contradiction. This article surveys the opinions of various literary critics and scholars of balāgha on this issue with a brief discussion of the concepts of tafsīr and sharḥ, which sometimes overlap with taʾwīl.

El esclarecimiento de algunas de las concepciones que constituyen la base de los procesos de profesionalización pedagógica es un paso esencial para el éxito de los mismos. El presente artículo tiene como propósito aunar reflexiones que posibiliten un acercamiento hacia una concepción teórico-metodológica de los procesos de profesionalización pedagógica en la Educación Superior.El diseño y la puesta en práctica de los procesos de profesionalización pedagógica en la Educación Superior no pueden ser improvisados. Exigen, como actividad consciente, la consideración de determinados presupuestos teóricos y metodológicos que lo sustenten, y de su consideración como proceso pedagógico especial. Palabras clave: concepción teórica, concepción metodológica, profesionalización pedagógica. ABSTRACT Gaining on clarity concerning some of the conceptions that lie under the pedagogical professionalization processes is an essential step towards their own success. The article focuses on gathering insights that help get a more comprehensive understanding of a theoretic-methodological conception of the pedagogical professionalization processes in higher education. Both design and practice of these processes can not be improvised. They demand, as any other conscious activity, to take into account theoretical and methodological grounds and their consideration as a especial pedagogical process. Key words: theoretical conception, methodological grounds, pedagogical professionalization. Clarifying some of the concepts that form the basis of the processes of pedagogical professionalization is an essential step for their success. This paper aims to join some reflections that enable the approaching to a theoretical-methodological conception of the processes of pedagogical professionalization in Higher Education. Designing and implementing the processes of pedagogical professionalization cannot be improvised. They demand, as a conscious activity, the consideration of certain supporting assumptions in theory and method, and their consideration as a special pedagogical process.

Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy

Therapy plays an important role in rehabilitation of children suffering from physical disabilities. Disability conditions like Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy require vigorous therapy measures, which could be unappealing to children. Using therapy assistive products for rehabilitation can make therapy activities engaging and appealing to children and yield effective outcomes. However, there is limited availability of context based therapy assistive products, which are engaging, and appealing to children suffering from Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy. This study explores how design methodology can be used to develop therapy assistive products for rehabilitation of children with disability. The study is based on developing a set of therapy assistive products to improve the hand-skills of children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy. Developing therapy assistive products require comprehensive understanding of therapeutic aspects, design aspects and careful integration of the two disciplines. Hence, practicing multidisciplinary and participatory design approaches in the design process is imperative. Usability of therapy assistive products are highly impactive in nature, and therefore an iterative process of prototyping, testing, receiving constructive feedback and developing the products based on feedback should be adopted to achieve feasible and functional outcomes.
