Adolescents and Young People

The Coalition for Adolescent Girls (CAG), hosted by the Population Council, in collaboration with Akili Dada, convened a high-level donor roundtable on June 4, 2025.

Changes In Social Attitudes And Behavioural Intentions Related To Female Genital Mutilation In The Context Of Community-Based Interventions In Isiolo And Narok Counties In Kenya, Dennis Matanda, Francis Obare, Stephen Kizito, Stella Muthuri, Chi-Chi Undie

Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Choices

While evidence on the drivers of female genital mutilation (FGM) has been expanding, programmes implementing interventions designed to end FGM have had challenges in measuring social change. Gaps exist ranging from the documentation and description of how change occurs to reducing the effect of social desirability given the illegality of FGM and the stigma associated with the practice. This study aimed to assess shifts in social attitudes/beliefs and behavioural intentions related to FGM and gender in the context of The Girl Generation support to – Africa-Led Movement (TGG-ALM) programme in Isiolo and Narok counties using public opinion poll and vignettes. …

Emotional Metaphors In Mandarin And English: Fear And Surprise, Jing Yang

Linguistics ETDs

This paper explores the relationship between emotion and experience from a cognitive perspective to fulfill two purposes. First, it seeks to identify the commonalities and differences in emotional metaphors across vastly different languages and the reasons behind these variations. Second, it aims to contribute to typological research in emotion studies beyond established areas such as color, time, and space using innovative approaches. Specifically, this study focuses on fear and surprise to categorize their source domains using lexical and corpus-based methods. Examples were collected from constructions and the corpus, and patterns of FEAR and SURPRISE metaphors in Mandarin were compared with …

Classics Into Comics: Transformation Of Children’S Literature Classics Into Comics And Translating Them Into Other Languages, Amal Rakan Alkhaldi Dr.

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

The study investigates how Oliver Twist, written by Charles Dickens in 1839, has been adapted into comic form and translated into other languages. It concerns the communicative problems and techniques of meaning-making in text and image. Translating nonsequential multimodal narratives is complex, requiring consideration of cultural context and image semantics to maintain coherence across text and visuals in the target language. The paper also explores how translators overcome these challenges to maintain the essence of the narrative while presenting it in different forms that will appeal to its various readers. Studying the Oliver Twist comic adaptation and translation aids translation …

Passive Verb Morphology In Arabic And Faifi Dialect, Essa Salman Alfaifi Dr.

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

The formation of passive verbs in Arabic is uniquely challenging due to its complex structure and dialectal variations. While Classical Arabic (CA) and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) adhere to non-concatenative rules of internal vowel modification of the active stem, some dialects use different strategies such as affixation or reflexive pronouns with no modification to the stem. However, despite previous studies on Arabic verbs, the passive verb construction remains insufficiently explored. This paper aims to participate in addressing this gap by detailing the passive verb morphology in the Faifi dialect (FD) and comparing it with CA/MSA. The properties of passive verbs …

Affrication In Najdi Arabic: Application And Resistance, Yasser Abdulrahman Al-Bati Dr.

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

This paper examines affrication process in Najdi Arabic, Qassimi variety in particular, and proposes a rule of affrication that regulates this phonological process. It discusses the environments where the affricate [ts] is produced in this variety and explores the applications of the proposed rule. It also proposes that [k] and [ts] in NA are not only cases of allophones, but they are actually different phonemes; therefore, some cases of [ts] are not simply cases of affrication of [k], but in fact a phonemic representation of /ts/. The paper also examines various exceptions where affrication is expected but not active in …

Secondary Ela Mentor Teachers’ Feedback On Preservice Teachers’ Video-Recorded Lessons, Homood Alharbi

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation explores the feedback practices of secondary English Language Arts (ELA) mentor teachers and the reasoning behind their feedback to preservice teachers (PSETs) during early field experiences. Motivated by my own experience as a preservice teacher, where the absence of timely, meaningful feedback often left me without needed guidance, I was drawn to study how mentor teachers notice, interpret, and respond to novice teaching. This study focuses not on the mentoring relationship itself, but on the content and rationale of feedback provided by mentors.

Three secondary ELA mentor teachers participated in this qualitative study. Each responded to two video-recorded …
