Objective To visualize and analyze the current status, hot spots, and research trends of rehabilitation training in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) at home and abroad, and to provide references for future related research.Methods The Web of Science Core Collection and CNKI were searched for literature on the rehabilitation training of DDH from January 1, 2000, to June 1, 2024, using CiteSpace 6.3.R1 software for information mining and analysis.Results A total of 831 articles were identified for final analysis, including 353 articles in Chinese and 478 in English. Research on DDH rehabilitation abroad increased steadily between 2000 and 2022. The number of domestic publications fluctuated slightly from 2000 to 2019, and has shown a downward trend since 2019. The domestic and overseas authors with the most publications were the teams represented by Li Lianyong and Clohisy John C, and the institutions with the most publications were the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University and Harvard University. Combined with the keywords co-occurrence and cluster analysis, the research on DDH rehabilitation training mostly focused on surgical methods, diagnosis, functional exercises, gross movements, preoperative simulation, family guidance, traditional Chinese medicine therapy, and complication prevention or treatment. The bursting keywords showed that artificial intelligence, deep learning, quality of life, pain, and clinical outcomes might become research hotspots and trends in the future DDH rehabilitation training field.Conclusion Currently, research on DDH rehabilitation training at home and abroad is still being explored. In the future, it is imperative to strengthen academic cooperation between different institutions and regions, promote the further development of DDH rehabilitation training research with artificial intelligence and big data platforms, and improve patients' clinical outcomes and quality of  life.

Finnish Adult Basic Education (ABE) comprises primary and lower secondary education designed to improve adult immigrants’ participation. Completing the entire syllabus and graduating with a Finnish basic education certificate is helpful for many adult immigrants without prior basic education in finding work, continuing studies at the upper secondary level, and applying for Finnish citizenship. English has potential utility for integration in the Nordic countries, yet adult immigrants’ foreign language studies, and Finnish ABE, have been little studied. Recent government reports have indicated that ABE students seem to face exceptional challenges in their language studies, particularly their compulsory advanced syllabus English studies. The present survey study (n=35) targeting principals of ABE institutions examines institution-level foreign language education practices and principals’ views on language education. The findings indicate that ABE English education is rapid-paced, relies on a local teaching language that students have only learned for a few years, and may lack suitable instructional materials and tests. Most principals are not convinced that their students graduate with English skills sufficient for language needs in working life or upper secondary education. Varied local interpretations of national guidelines lead to inequity in language learning opportunities. The findings highlight the significance of aligning materials and local and national policies with student diversity and the evolving role of English in the Nordics.

BackgroundHealth and social services provided at home are becoming increasingly important. Hence, there is a need for information on home care in Europe. The objective of this literature review was to respond to this need by systematically describing what has been reported on home care in Europe in the scientific literature over the past decade.MethodsA systematic literature search was performed for papers on home care published in English, using the following data bases: Cinahl, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, Social Services Abstracts, and Social Care Online. Studies were only included if they complied with the definition of home care, were published between January 1998 and October 2009, and dealt with at least one of the 31 specified countries. Clinical interventions, instrument developments, local projects and reviews were excluded. The data extracted included: the characteristics of the study and aspects of home care 'policy & regulation', 'financing', 'organisation & service delivery', and 'clients & informal carers'.ResultsSeventy-four out of 5,133 potentially relevant studies met the inclusion criteria, providing information on 18 countries. Many focused on the characteristics of home care recipients and on the organisation of home care. Geographical inequalities, market forces, quality and integration of services were also among the issues frequently discussed.ConclusionsHome care systems appeared to differ both between and within countries. The papers included, however, provided only a limited picture of home care. Many studies only focused on one aspect of the home care system and international comparative studies were rare. Furthermore, little information emerged on home care financing and on home care in general in Eastern Europe. This review clearly shows the need for more scientific publications on home care, especially studies comparing countries. A comprehensive and more complete insight into the state of home care in Europe requires the gathering of information using a uniform framework and methodology.

The present research responds to the call for implementing diagnostic assessment through learner involvement. This study followed two aims: first, examining the distinctive effects of diagnostic self- and peer - assessments on EFL learners’ reading comprehension; second, exploring students’ diagnostic rating accuracy in various reading genres. To achieve this, a number of diagnostic reading comprehension tests and a checklist were developed, the construction of which were based on the learners’ challenging reading subskills. The participants include 60 English translation university students. During 12 weeks of instruction, the rating accuracy of the subjects’ diagnostic self- and peer- assessments were investigated while the instructor ratings were taken as the yardstick. Data analysis, using T-test and MANOVA confirmed that the two groups had improvement in reading comprehension but there was no significant difference between the two groups’ gain. In addition, no statistically significant difference was detected among the accuracy of diagnostic self-, peer- and instructor- ratings except for the assessment of main idea and supporting details subskill in descriptive genre and cause and effect subskill in narrative genre. This study can offer evidence for conducting diagnostic assessment through learner engagement to provide students with appropriate feedback and remedial instruction.

Oral literature is a cultural expression that verbally transmits values from one generation to the next among the community supporters. This oral literature research aims at (1) presenting the stories' plots through the research's primary goal, 2) introducing the characters that appear in the story, (3) outlining the characters in the stories, (4) recognizing and explaining the settings of the stories, and 5) recognizing and defining symbols in the stories based on Yektingtyas's points of view (2016). The approach in this research incorporates literary criticism into secondary and primary qualitative data combined throughout the data collection process. The primary data were analyzed thoroughly, while the secondary data were utilized as references to analyze the primary data. The results show that Ilik was born to a mother under the shade without a father. Initially, the narrative focused solely on the character's day-to-day activities. The folks washing the pig gut rope cast away and flung the dog with the stone when he tried to devour the remaining portion. The pregnant woman and her children arrived in the village the following day to cook the raw pork they had managed to rescue. The portrait of this literary work depicts the characters’ lives and social harmony, allowing them to nurture indigenous values while learning to explore more life lessons from society.

The paper offers a new insight into the global perception of vampirism as cultural diversity tradition lens in the British writer Kim Newman’s novel Anno Dracula, published in 1992. The historical allusions throughout the novel presents the discourse of intercultural concepts that does not only speak to the Western Dracula tradition and the 19th Century English historical setting but also to our own 21st Century  with its multicultural emerging societal relations. In a politically charged destruction of a fictional setting, the writer shows a kind of prevailing evil that defies the existence of mankind. The paper presents different points of view to interpret the role of both historical and fictional characters drawn by the novelist to create an image of horror. The paper also traces the cultural encounters with the Dracula tradition and how far this has contributed to build a political rebellion in a police state that might exist anywhere in the world.
