Abstract: The aim of this study was exploring responses of victims toward medical errors committed by treating doctors in Khartoum State. The general objective is to explore the response of victims exposed to medical error and to identify the types of response. It was a community-based cross-sectional descriptive study. the study involves participants from the biggest three cities of Khartoum State. Data was collected by in-person interview using structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed by SPSS software programme. Frequencies and proportions were calculated and recurrent them for categorical data. The sample size was calculated to be 384. The study revealed that 76 (19.9%) of the participants were exposed to medical error. Approximately half of the participants who exposed to medical error either did nothing or talked to a friend and/or family about the error. Only four out of 76 filed their cases. In response to qualitative questions they claimed that after discovering the error and its effect their emotions ranged from anger to disappointment and fear. There was a diversity in the reasons of why some participants did not purse their legal rights and two of the four who have chosen to do so did not have a final closure of the file. One in five people can experience a medical error over the course of their life. Responses from different people when exposed to medical error come in different shapes and sizes. These responses range from being silent and talking with someone close to writing in newspapers and social media to sue the doctor in charge.

Abstract: Critical thinking skills have become essential in developing students’ core literacies. However, in traditional English reading classes, teachers are mostly used to adopting the sponge method, which not only weakens students’ dominant position, but also hinders their innovative thinking and creativity, resulting in their inability to think and ask questions, thus failing to really develop their core literacies. Therefore, in the actual reading teaching, how to cultivate students’ critical thinking skills has become an urgent problem to be solved. This paper, based on critical thinking skills and their connotations, constructs a systematic critical reading teaching mode, which includes five progressive parts: discourse interpretation, discourse analysis, reasoning, evaluation, query and innovation, and proposes four strategies for developing critical thinking skills in English reading teaching in secondary school, namely, text language criticism, text detail criticism, text logic criticism and text structure criticism. Finally, this paper demonstrates how this critical reading teaching mode is practiced by using case analysis of the Unit 7 of the Eighth-grade English Textbook (Vol. 1) of the People’s Educational Press Edition, which can all verify the feasibility of this mode. With putting forward this critical reading teaching mode, this paper aims at providing a mode guidance for front-line English teachers’ reading teaching, so as to enrich the reading teaching mode, improve the effect of reading teaching, and exert positive impacts on the development of students’ core literacies.

Abstract: Historic sites and structures are tangible representations of the cultural heritage of a certain group of people that passed the tests of times. They may be valuable historical assets but could be threatened by modernization and economic progress hence, eventually demolished. The paper identified the issues and challenges experienced by the owners and or the Local Government Units on the conservation and preservation of the recognized historic sites and structures by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines. The locale of the study is the province of Albay, Bicol Region in the Philippines. The descriptive qualitative was used as research design with the following data collection techniques: on-site field visits, Key Informant Interviews, and, content analysis. The “NHCP Standards and Guidelines in Maintaining Historic Sites and Structures” was used as basis for the identification of challenges in conservation and preservation. Results revealed that the 14 historic sites and structures are challenged by the vulnerability of the historic structures to natural calamities, costly maintenance to keep the structures in good physical condition, demands for economic development in the locale and the limited local laws enacted as the basis of government policies in the local government units to have them preserved and conserved. The recognized historic sites and structures exemplify the religiosity, bravery, and creativity of the people of the province.
