Presenting the Qur'anic Text in a Developed Mapping Technique and Reflecting the Related Theories of Linguistics

Means of presenting the Qur'anic text enjoy everlasting efforts to develop and meet the greatness and high status the holy Qur'an maintains. Consequently, this study aims at shedding light on the virtual relationship between the general concept of the Qur'anic mapping techniques and the resulting theories of linguistics. The concept of the Qur'anic mapping is to facilitate meaning conveyance, embody concepts, and re-present the Qur'anic discourse in an understandable and comprehensible manner. Therefore, thinking of how the Qur'anic reader will absorb the new representation of the Qur'anic discourse, was a main issue in the Qur'anic mapping process. The resulting linguistic phenomena were discussed in a detailed manner. Qur'anic maps take a hybrid design of concept maps and mind maps with the original Arabic Qur'anic text and the English translation of its meanings manipulated. The current paper introduces itself as a foundation for a newer domain of research based on a decent association between Qur'anic exegesis and its topical classification, concept mapping, and the various theories of linguistics. There is also an opportunity for other studies to explore more linguistic theories not mentioned in this study.
The relationship between dietary micronutrients intake and cognition test performance among school‐aged children in government‐owned primary schools in Kumasi metropolis, Ghana

Abstract Nutrients are critical for optimal brain development, and good nutritional status is associated with cognitive development and improvement. The relationship between micronutrients intake and cognition in Ghanaian school‐aged children has not been studied. The study investigated dietary intakes of micronutrients and cognition test performance of school‐aged children. A cross‐sectional study was undertaken among 438 school children, aged 9–13 years from ten randomly selected basic schools in Kumasi, Ghana. Socio‐demographic data were obtained from a structured questionnaire. Dietary intakes of iron, zinc, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin A were determined from repeated 24‐hr dietary recall data from 351 children, while cognition test was performed using a Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (RCPM), a 36‐question test. Among 351 children, 156 (44.4%) had inadequate zinc intake, whereas 96 (27.4%) had inadequate iron intake. More than 1 in 2 children had inadequate vitamin A intake while 55.8% and 53.0% had inadequate vitamin B12 and folate intakes, respectively. More school‐aged boys (66.3%) than girls (46.8%) had inadequate vitamin B12 intake (χ 2 = 13.393, p < .001), while for iron, folate, vitamin B6, zinc, and vitamin A, the differences were not significant. Mean RCPM test score differed significantly between school type (p < .001), but did not differ between the different ages, and between children with adequate and inadequate iron, zinc, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and vitamin A intakes, except for folate intake (p = .050). Weak positive significant associations were observed between RCPM test score and zinc and folate intakes (p = .050). Dietary micronutrient intakes were inadequate in majority of these children, which put them at risk of weakened immune system and poor health, but did not show significant associations with RCPM performance. Further studies using other forms of cognition tests may help confirm our findings, and provide the impetus for the necessary interventions.
Why Religious People Support Ethnic Insurgency? Kurds, Religion and Support for the PKK

Abstract This study challenges a dominant view that religion constrains the support for an ethnic insurgency. It argues that observing the discrepancy between religious brotherhood discourses of ethnic majority state and discrimination and inter-ethnic inequality in the social, political, and economic sphere as a result of the long-standing securitization of minority rights increase skepticism toward government among religious minorities. This long-term perception makes them receptive to the messages of an insurgent group that claims to fight for cultural and political rights of an ethnic minority. Utilizing two original public opinion surveys conducted in Turkey in 2011 and 2013, before and right after the peace talks between the Turkish state and the Kurdistan Workers' Party—The Partîya Karkêren Kurdistan (PKK), this study tests its hypotheses by taking the Kurdish conflict as a case study. The findings challenge the dominant paradigm that expects a negative relationship between religiosity and rebel support. Religious Kurds do not differ from non-religious ones in support for the formerly Marxist–Leninist PKK. Second, political and economic grievances matter; the perception among Kurds, of state discrimination and inter-ethnic economic inequality generates positive attitudes toward the PKK. Finally, the perception of inter-ethnic socioeconomic inequality amplifies support for the PKK among religious Kurds.
Testing a Model to Predict Successful Clinical Information Systems

Even though most clinical information systems (CIS) today are technically sound, the number of successful implementations of these systems is low. For that reason, understanding the characteristics and challenges for organizations implementing CIS is now considered key to successful information technology deployment (Lorenzi & Riley, 1997). Although theory driven information systems models and CIS studies exist, an integrated model to predict a successful CIS has not been evaluated. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the ability of a theoretically-based integrated model of CIS success (CISSM) to predict a successful CIS from the clinicians’ perspective. Data were collected and analyzed from 234 registered nurses in 4 hospitals who had used the Cerner PowerChart Admission Health Profile (AHP) longer than 3 months. Construct validity and internal consistency reliability of the 23-item online instrument were established. The results of stepwise multiple regression analyses provided tentative support for the CISSM model.
Treatment of isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis with isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide for 6 months.

SETTING In 1992 the Seattle-King County Department of Public Health Tuberculosis Clinic began to treat patients with isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis with a regimen of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol daily for 6 months. OBJECTIVE To conduct a review of clinical and bacteriological outcomes of treatment for patients who received the four-drug, 6-month regimen for isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis. DESIGN A retrospective review of medical records of TB cases meeting the study criteria, a Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolate resistant to isoniazid, and intent to treat with a 6-month course of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. RESULTS Through December 1999, 44 consecutive patients with isoniazid-resistant, rifampin-susceptible tuberculosis were started on the four-drug, 6-month daily regimen. Among 42 patients followed until completion of therapy, three required changes in the regimen due to side effects. There was one case of drug-induced hepatotoxicity. Among 39 patients with pulmonary involvement, 37 converted sputum cultures from positive to negative within 2 months of starting treatment. There were no treatment failures. On passive follow-up of at least 2 years on all patients, two patients relapsed. The single patient with bacteriological relapse did not develop further drug resistance. CONCLUSION The regimen of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol given daily for 6 months produced successful outcomes when used in a public health tuberculosis clinic as routine therapy for isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis.
Religion, Health and Turbulence of Healing Craft in the Nigerian Context

One critical and engaging point of religious discourse among socialtheorists and thinkers is the healing craft capacity often claimed by religious institutions. This paper explores the structure and dynamics of the nexus between religion and health in the Nigerian context, considering its complexities and pervasiveness. From a review of grey literature and data from online blogs and religious websites, findings show that there is high traffic and patronage to religious centres in Nigeria, mostly for issues ‘bothering the mind’ and terminal diseases, whereas same sources create avenue for assassination and promotion of unhealthy behaviour. Religious factors are essential in health discourse at policy level, to ensure wholesome impacts.
Sleep duration and quality are not associated with brown adipose tissue volume or activity—as determined by 18F-FDG uptake, in young, sedentary adults

Abstract Study Objectives Short sleep duration and sleep disturbances have been related to obesity and metabolic disruption. However, the behavioral and physiological mechanisms linking sleep and alterations in energy balance and metabolism are incompletely understood. In rodents, sleep regulation is closely related to appropriate brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenic activity, but whether the same is true in humans has remained unknown. The present work examines whether sleep duration and quality are related to BAT volume and activity (measured by 18F-FDG) and BAT radiodensity in humans. Methods A total of 118 healthy adults (69% women, 21.9 ± 2.2 years, body mass index: 24.9 ± 4.7 kg/m2) participated in this cross-sectional study. Sleep duration and other sleep variables were measured using a wrist-worn accelerometer for seven consecutive days for 24 hours per day. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess sleep quality. All participants then underwent a personalized cold exposure to determine their BAT volume, activity, and radiodensity (a proxy of the intracellular triglyceride content), using static positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CI) scan. Results Neither sleep duration nor quality was associated with BAT volume or activity (the latter represented by the mean and peak standardized 18F-FDG uptake values) or radiodensity (all p > .1). The lack of association remained after adjusting the analyses for sex, date of PET/CT, and body composition. Conclusions Although experiments in rodent models indicate a strong relationship to exist between sleep regulation and BAT function, it seems that sleep duration and quality may not be directly related to the BAT variables examined in the present work.

Iranian doctoral students’ perceptions of publication in English

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the English for publication purpose practices of doctoral students in Iran. The overall objective was to explore their motives, hurdles and strategies in academic writing.Design/methodology/approachThis case study draws on a narrative inquiry to explore nine science and engineering doctoral students’ perceptions of academic publication. The data were analyzed through a hybrid process of inductive and deductive thematic analysis.FindingsThe qualitative results showed three dominant themes, namely: motives for publication, hurdles to publication and strategies for dealing with these challenges were extracted. The main sources of motives were students’ desire to publish their works for their graduation, improve their resume, satiate the universities’ evaluation system, and finally share their knowledge worldwide. Their hurdles included: political reasons, language-related problems, center-periphery priorities and the lack of academic writing instruction. In order to overcome these hurdles, the participants employed some strategies in academic writing.Research limitations/implicationsDue to qualitative nature of this study, only nine PhD students were recruited and therefore the research results are not intended to render generalizability. Besides, only narratives were employed to collect the required data. Future researchers can use surveys to collect more data.Practical implicationsThe findings are discussed within English for academic purposes discourse and some recommendations are provided to alleviate the plights of non-native-English-speaking academic writers.Originality/valueThe methodology and the higher education context in which this paper was conducted are new to the literature.
Deciphering Code: How Newsroom Developers Communicate Journalistic Labor

ABSTRACT Newsroom developers often share code produced by their organizations within open source software (OSS) environments. This study details how newsroom developers communicate journalistic labor around code in these spaces. Here, they explain how code operates, as well as illustrate its centrality to newswork. This research finds engagement in OSS environments provides visibility for news organizations to showcase their computational approaches to digital news innovation. This work also advances that OSS engagement helps develop shared practices to digital newswork, further unifying newsroom developers as an interpretive community within journalistic practice.
Understanding and Supporting Academic Attribution in Online Learning Using Clickstream Data

Author(s): Li, Qiujie | Advisor(s): Baker, Rachel; Warschauer, Mark | Abstract: Colleges offer online courses as a cost-effective way to enhance the accessibility of higher education. However, one major concern about online learning has been the lack of student engagement. Attribution theory proposes that students will encounter great difficulties maintaining their motivation and engagement when experiencing failures in a course and that the causal factors, such as insufficient effort versus low ability, that students use to interpret their failures may influence how much subsequent effort students will expend and what learning strategies they will use in the course. Some studies have applied attribution theory to online learning, but very few of them have considered the unique challenges that may prevent online students from adopting more adaptive attributions when experiencing poor performance. There is also a lack of studies that take advantage of the rich and nuanced clickstream data collected in online learning environments to understand the role of attribution and to support online students in the process of seeking reasons for their poor performance and making productive adjustments.To address these gaps, this dissertation uses clickstream data collected from online learning platforms to explore the behavioral consequences of attributions and to develop and evaluate the effect of an attribution intervention. In Chapter 1, I attempted to identify valid clickstream measures of self-regulated learning behaviors, which can then be used to examine the behavioral consequences of attribution. In Chapter 2, I used these clickstream measures to investigate the relationships between students’ attribution, expectancy, and changes in students’ subsequent behavior and performance in online learning. Lastly, in Chapter 3, I used clickstream data to build an informational intervention that aimed to correct students’ attributional biases and encourage students to attribute their performance to effort. I expect that my dissertation will lead to a deeper understanding of the role of attribution processes and provide guidance on the design of automatic and light touch attribution interventions in online learning. Moreover, my dissertation provides a novel example of and useful tools for using the clickstream data available in online learning environments to examine and support motivational processes, which is less feasible in in-person educational settings.
The Effect of Metalinguistic Written Corrective Feedback on English Writing Competency of the Eighth Grade Students of SMPN 1 Abiansemal in Academic Year 2015/2016

The present study aimed at investigating whether or not there was a significant difference in writing competency between the eighth grade junior high school students who received metalinguistic WCF and those who did not receive any feedback. This experimental study took the eighth grade students in SMPN 1 Abiansemal as the population and VIIIB and VIIIF respectively as the control and experimental group through cluster random sampling. The design of the study was pretest-posttest control group design. The data were the students’ pretest and posttest that were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. ANCOVA test was used in analyzing the data and to test the hypothesis. The result of the analysis using ANCOVA in SPSS 17.0 showed that the significance value of the group was 0.024 which was lower than the significance level 0.05. It means that the null hypothesis was rejected. It was concluded that there was a significant difference between students who received metalinguistic WCF and those who did not receive any feedback.
The whole world in their hands:an investigation of the influence of mobile technologies on learner engagement of primary school children in outdoor settings

This thesis discusses a qualitative investigation into the impact of mobile learning interventions designed to promote learner engagement in primary-aged children working on science topics in outdoor settings, for three cohorts of pupils at a north-of-England primary school. Adopting a design-based methodological approach and underpinned by a pragmatist epistemological position, the research responds to calls to address nature deficit disorder (Louv, 2009), drawing on a theoretical framework which combines contemporary learning theories including place-based learning (Zimmerman & Land, 2014), contextualised learning (Rikala & Kankaanranta , 2014), kinaesthetic learning (Pruet et al., 2016), constructionist learning (Papert, 1980; Zimmerman & Land, 2014), experiential learning (Lai, Yang, Chen, Ho & Chan, 2007), child-centred learning (Dewey, 1938) and cross-contextual learning (Nouri, Cerratto-Pargman, Rossitto & Ramberg, 2014), with theorisations around learner engagement (Fredricks, Blumenfeld & Paris, 2004), flow theory (Csikszentmihalyi, 1997), and Digital Capital (Park, 2017). Drawing together two research activity streams, a series of mobile learning interventions designed for use in outdoor settings were developed, evaluated and refined over the course of eight research cycles. The discovery-based learning activity stream aimed to encourage learners to explore particular themes within an outdoor setting, while the production-focused learning stream saw learners generate video-clips and eBooks in response to a directed activity. Employing qualitative methods, data were collected from a variety of sources, including video-recorded observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers, focus groups with children and learner-generated digital artefacts, while analysis was conducted using thematic analysis and direct interpretation within a grounded theory approach (Glaser & Strauss, 1967). The thesis concludes that appropriately-designed mobile learning interventions in outdoor settings can promote emotional, behavioural and cognitive engagement, leading to an immersive state of flow, and can act as a bridge between technology and the natural environment, while simultaneously addressing the digital disconnect between teachers and technology.
Online Personalization in the Age of Big Data

This research updates the personalization privacy trade-off for consumers to the era of Big Data, where personalization is becoming more sophisticated and concerns for manipulation and discrimination supplement concerns for privacy. These two concerns have until recently only been described on a theoretical level, but this research operationalizes them for empirical research. It constructed valid scales for the concepts and used those for subsequent hypothesis testing. From a consumer viewpoint, this research assessed the effect of value of personalization and the three concerns on the likelihood of using personalized offerings. It also incorporated a moderating effect of perceived information control. This research once more confirmed the existing trade-off between privacy concerns and value of personalization and also found some evidence that manipulation concerns can lead to less likelihood of using personalized offerings when perceived information control is low. No evidence was found for an effect of concerns for discrimination. Finally, opposite to as was hypothesized, this research found that high perceived control can actually lead to decrease in intent to use personalized offerings when consumers have a high concern for their privacy.
Cultural dislocation & consequences. An exploratory study of illicit drug activity in a Traveller community in north Dublin.

The misuse of drugs among our community here in Dublin 15 is of great concern to Blanchardstown Traveller Development Group and it is a concern for Traveller families and for the community as a whole. Traveller’s are a marginalised group in Irish society and are one of the most excluded groups socially and culturally in the country and this is no different here in Dublin 15. What is different is the impact that the misuse of drugs is having on our community. Travellers make up less than one percent of the national population, mostly live in extended families on Traveller sites so when drugs hit our community its more visible and public, so fear of looking for support is harder and this research has identified some of these issues. This research has also identified the type of drug misuse which means we can now start to look at the local responses and supports that are needed to address these serious issues which are having a very negative effect on individuals, parents, families and on the community. The research has identified the local issues and made clear recommendations that need to be acted upon.
Perceiving education from Facebook profile pictures

Our upbringing and education influence not only how we present and distinguish ourselves in the social world but also how we perceive others. We apply this central sociological idea to the social media context. We conduct a large-scale online study to investigate whether observers can correctly guess the education of others from their Facebook profile pictures. Using the binomial test and cross-classified mixed-effects models, we show that observers can assess the education of depicted persons better than chance, especially when they share the same educational background and have experience with the social media. We also find that posting pictures of outdoor activities is a strong signal of having higher education, while professional photographs can obscure education signals. The findings expand our knowledge of social interaction and self-expression online and offer new insights for understanding social influence on social media.
