Exploring Teacher Cognition in Malaysian ESL Classrooms

The paper addresses the key question in teaching English language, that is, how does teacher cognition interact with classroom practice. The paper is part of a larger study which was conducted in sub-urban schools in Sarawak, East Malaysia via qualitative case study method involving teachers in actual classroom practice. The teacher participants were video-recorded in two separate teaching sessions to capture as far as possible authentic teacher cognition practice. Each teacher was then asked to review his own recorded lessons and verbally report on his actions in the class via stimulated recall protocol technique. The qualitative data generated were analysed for specific features in relation to three main knowledge types representing teacher cognition namely, knowledge of students, pedagogical content knowledge and general pedagogical knowledge. Several features were identified and categorised according to the knowledge types. As far as Knowledge of students (KS) is concerned, it is important for teachers to be aware of their students’ preferred learning styles as well as their proficiency levels. On Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), teachers should allow their students a lot of freedom in choosing the activities they prefer. As regards General pedagogical knowledge (GPK), teachers need to be less dominating in the actual classroom practice but instead acting more as facilitator to help guide and facilitate the students’ learning process. For future research, it is recommended that longitudinal studies be conducted to further provide insights into teacher cognition via generation of larger corpus of data on evidence of teacher cognition processes.

US Economic Policy Uncertainty Spillover on the Stock Markets of the GCC Countries

This study aims to investigate the nature and degree of US economic policy uncertainty spillover on the stock markets of a group of non-conventional economies like the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, where a risk-sharing-based financial system is prominent and foreign investment, risk-free interest, derivatives, etc. are not as widespread as in the western economies. ,the monthly data of 1992–2018, linear and nonlinear structural vector autoregression (VAR) model, and an impulse response-based test to explore the nature and degree of US economic policy uncertainty spillover on the stock markets of the GCC countries. ,This study finds that an unexpected increase in the US economic policy uncertainty significantly decreases the stock market index of all the GCC countries. This study also gets this relationship symmetric, meaning that the GCC stock market indices decrease and increase by the same amount when the US economic policy uncertainty increases and decreases, respectively. ,This study investigates the characteristics of economic policy uncertainty spillover from the biggest economy of the world to the stock markets of the GCC region, which is new to the literature. The study results provide the first evidence that a risk-sharing based financial system does not necessarily protect the stock market from US uncertainty shock. However, the abundance of local investors, risk-sharing investment activities, the absence of derivatives, etc. may be responsible for the symmetric behavior of a stock market.
A review on Health

Health is a condition of complete physical, mental, social well-being in absence of any disease or illness. It is determined to deal with physical, biologic, psychological, and social stress. The environment is considered as an important factor influencing the health status of individuals. Genetics or other diseases from parents may affect the health status of individuals. The main objective of health is social and economic environment, the physical environment, and the person's individual characteristics and behaviors. According to WHO health is the ability to maintain homeostasis in terms of mental, physical, social and personal as well as physical capacities. Systematic activities can cure or prevents the health related problems and promote good health. There are 6 types of health that makes our body fit they are Emotional health, spiritual health, environmental health, mental health, physical health, social health. Healthcare is necessary in order to maintain our body without diseases, illness or any injuries. Healthcare may vary depends on cultural, political, organizational aspects.
Exploring the Test–Retest Reliability of the Adlerian Personality Priority Assessment

Abstract:The authors assessed the test–retest reliability of the Adlerian Personality Priority Assessment (APPA) with a convenience sample of university students (N = 120). Participants completed the APPA twice within a 3-week interval. Intraclass correlation (two-way mixed model) was used to measure test–retest reliability. The APPA demonstrated good temporal reliability for all four factors, as well as initial evidence of convergent validity. The results provide further evidence for counselors' use of the APPA to identify individuals' personality priorities.
Predictive Modelling of Recruitment and Drug Supply in Multicenter Clinical Trials

Patient recruitment and drug supply planning are the biggest challenges for clinical study design. The innovative statistical technique for modeling patient recruitment in multicentre clinical trials is proposed. It allows predicting recruitment with confldence boundaries at initial and ongoing stage of the study, evaluating study/centre performance and the minimal number of centres needed to complete recruitment in time with a given confldence, providing adaptive adjustment. Predicting in time the recruitment proflle provides the opportunity to evaluate drug supply needed to cover patient demand for a given risk of patient stock out and establishes the basis for a novel approach in optimizing drug supply planning. The developed in R software tools use derived closed-form expressions, no Monte Carlo simulation involved. Technique is validated on real data, case studies are considered. The results are illustrated for several case studies.
Participation of the rostral anterior cingulate cortex in defensive behavior induced by electrical stimulation of the dorsal periaqueductal gray and contextual fear conditioning

The rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) is a critical brain structure related to defensive behavior. However, still unclear is whether the rACC also plays a role in defensive behavior induced by electrical stimulation of the dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG). In the present study, rats were implanted with electrodes into the dPAG to determine freezing and escape response thresholds after sham or bilateral electrolytic lesions of the rACC. The duration of freezing behavior that outlasted electrical stimulation of the dPAG was also measured. The next day, these animals were subjected to contextual fear conditioning using footshock as an unconditioned stimulus. Lesions of the rACC did not change aversive freezing and escape response thresholds but disrupted post-dPAG stimulation freezing. The lesions also disrupted defensive freezing behavior and analgesia in the formalin test in response to contextual cues previously associated with footshock. These results indicate that the rACC is involved in some but not all aspects of defensive behavior generated at the level of the dPAG. The rACC also appears to play an important role in contextual fear conditioning.
The effectiveness of b-lynch sutures in management of atonic postpartum haemorrhage during caesarean section -

Background: Surgical methods of controlling uterine bleeding by inserting compression sutures have been developed to reduce the incidence of emergency hysterectomy and to preserve fertility in patients with atonic postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). The aim of the study was to determine the efficacy of B-Lynch suture in management of atonic PPH and to determine whether timely application of B-Lynch suture in uncontrolled atonic PPH obviates the need for hysterectomy and thus help in pursuing subsequent fertility. Methods: A prospective observational study of 30 patients who underwent B-Lynch suturing for atonic PPH during lower segment cesarian section (LSCS), refractory to medical line of management was conducted. The amount of blood loss, need for blood transfusion and hysterectomy were noted. The patients were followed-up for 6 months for any late postoperative complications and for any infertility issues. Results: The procedure was successful in 100% of the cases following failure of medical line of management. None of them required hysterectomy or uterine devascularisation. All patients had uneventful puerperium. No evidence of ischemic necrosis or pyometra on assessment of patients on 6 month follow up. Conclusions: This procedure proves to be a valuable addition for surgical treatment of atonic PPH and great advantage in young patients with restoration of future fertility with the added advantage of lesser time of application, lesser blood loss, lesser blood transfusion, lesser skill required. Thus, B-Lynch suturing can be adopted as a mid-step before resorting to uterine devascularisation or hysterectomy when medical line of management fails.

Nurses' Knowledge and Practice concerning Fluid and Electrolyte Balance among Patients with Congestive Heart Failure

Background: Critical care nurses have a vital role in identifying and treating the physiologic stressors experienced by critically ill patients that disrupt homeostasis such as the patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). Aim of the study: to assess nurses’ knowledge and practice concerning fluid and electrolytes balance among patients with congestive heart failure and investigating the relation between their knowledge and practice. Subjects and Methods: Research design: Cross-sectional analytic design. Setting: The study was carried out at Zagazig Main University Hospital . Subjects:160 nurses and 160 CHF patients . Tools of data collection: a self-administered questionnaire sheet and an observation checklist. Results: nurses' knowledge about CHF and related fluid/electrolytes balance was high, with an overall good percentage having total satisfactory knowledge. The practice was deficient regarding assessment of peripheral circulation, skin and mucous membranes, signs of altered tissue perfusion, ineffective breathing pattern, and alteration in fluid balance. Nurses’ knowledge was positively influenced by their age, and female gender. The practice was negatively influenced by the knowledge score and the number of medications taken by the patient, and the knowledge and practice scores are negatively correlated. Conclusion: Hence, nurse’s age and gender as well as the attendance of training courses are the factors influencing their knowledge, while the factors affecting practice are their knowledge and the number of medications given to patients. In conclusion, nurses' knowledge about CHF and related fluid/ electrolytes balance is variable, with an overall good percentage of total satisfactory knowledge. The practice is generally higher. The knowledge and practice scores are negatively correlated and the training courses have a negative influence on nurses’ knowledge. Recommendations: The nurses working with patients with CHF improve their knowledge, particularly the younger ones. The content and process of training courses need to be revised, with more focus on applied knowledge.
Microfinance Facility for Rural Women Entrepreneurs in Pakistan: An Empirical Analysis

Since 1990, microfinance has gained universal recognition as an essential and useful tool to address the economically productive poor and provide them with a way to come out of the vicious circle of poverty, by delivering loans and credit on flexible terms in contrast to commercial banks. Many studies from different parts of the world have shown significant economic and social uplift of recipients (both men and women) of microfinance programs. However, in recent years, some studies argue against the positive influence of microfinance and stresses that microfinance is commercialized, and it has become more of a profit generation activity than uplifting of the economically productive poor, which is one of many core objective of microfinance organizations. Many empirical studies have been done to know the effects of microfinance on the welfare of households. They are well documented, e.g., in Bangladesh and India, but only a few studies assess the microfinance effect on rural female entrepreneurs of Pakistan. The present study was carried out to empirically analyze the outcome of microfinance on Pakistan’s female entrepreneurs. Women’s empowerment is gauged using income and consumption as welfare indicators. The difference in difference method is applied to investigate the effects of microfinance on its recipients, which is considered a useful tool to tackle the selection bias problem. Our study result shows that microfinance programs that target women not just only increase income and consumption of female borrowers, making them financially stable, but in fact, many local stakeholders also get benefited from it, and in turn, it creates opportunities for the whole local community. However, our results also show that it does not reach to the poorest of poor women (extremely poor) and thus does not serve the purpose of many of its core objectives, i.e., poverty reduction of extremely poor and henceforth should not be relied upon in this perspective.

Violent Trends in Hip-Hop Entertainment Journalism

While the prevalence and adverse effects of violence in hip-hop music and music videos have been studied extensively, hip-hop entertainment journalism, which reports on hip-hop news and events, has been largely unexplored. The purpose of this study was to examine violent trends in hip-hop journalism. We conducted a content analysis on a random sample of 970 news articles, 218 interview articles and the accompanying photographs from three hip-hop themed websites, and 56 radio interviews from hip-hop themed FM radio stations. Content was coded for type of violence, reality status, narrative sequence, and tone. The findings suggest that a significant portion of hip-hop journalism communications contain violence. More than half of all articles (52.3%; n = 663) contained violence. The prevalence of violence was higher for interview articles (73.4%, n = 218) than for news articles (45.9%, n = 445). The most common categories were violent metaphors, weapons, feuding (e.g., verbal aggression), and fighting. Almost 70% of radio interviews (n = 37) contained at least one mention of violence and the most common types of violence were fighting/physical assault and feuding. Furthermore, the majority of violence for all articles and radio content were reported as real and were presented from the performer sequence. News articles depicted more consequences, whereas interview articles and radio interviews depicted more positive portrayals. Potential implications for youth exposure hip-hop journalism are discussed.
Las Periodistas Paramos in Spain: Professional, feminist Internet activism

This article analyses how the group Las Periodistas Paramos (We the Women Journalists Stop) arose and developed within the context of the feminist strike that took place in Spain on 8 March 2018 (‘8M’). The purpose of this research is to understand how this community began and its typology, to analyse the selection of digital tools in the process and to outline the strengths and weaknesses of the group on the basis of participants’ experiences. Using three qualitative methods, specifically an interview, non-participant observation and focus groups, the group’s collective work dynamics and its evolution are defined. The results obtained show that this is a community of interest that has collaboratively broadened its initial objectives, surmounted ideological differences, contributed to the feminist movement and grown exponentially by expanding its activities to embrace other Spanish cities and foreign correspondents.
Brooding Concurrently and Prospectively Links Trait Positive and Negative Affect to Depressive Symptoms

Recent theory and evidence support an integrated affective-cognitive model of adolescent depressive symptoms in which temperament predicts the use of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation (ER) strategies which, in turn, predict depressive symptoms. We concurrently and prospectively investigated whether two cognitive ER strategies (dampening and brooding) mediated the effect of trait positive and negative affect on adolescent depressive symptoms. Young adolescents (11-14 years old) completed questionnaires at baseline (N = 150) and at a 4-month follow-up (N = 126). Findings indicate brooding mediated the relationship between both positive and negative affect and depressive symptoms, both cross-sectionally and prospectively. Dampening yielded inconsistent results. This suggests brooding may be a unique mechanism from trait affect to depressive symptoms in late childhood to early adolescence.
CO2 microbiano edáfico en un bosque de Abies religiosa (Kunth) Schltdl. & Cham. en la Ciudad de México

Microbial respiration plays a key role in the C cycle and contributes to the production of CO2, so it is important to identify the changes and agents that alter microbial communities and, therefore, soil respiration rates. Few studies have focused on characterizing microbial respiration in urban forests subject to changes in land use. The production of microbial CO2 from the soil of six sites with different tree cover in an Abies religiosa forest (0, 100, 170, 180, 240 and 310 cm2) was examined, and its relation with soil properties in the Magdalena river basin in Mexico City. A plot of 25 × 25 m was established in each site, the basimetric area was obtained and the shrub and herbaceous species were identified, soil were collected to measure the CO2 released by the microbial biomass (bacterial and fungal). The gravimetric moisture content, bulk density, pH, and total C and N were measured too. The CO2 from the fungal biomass was highest than the bacterial; highest values were observed in the rainy season. A positive linear relationship was found between CO2 and the moisture content, bulk density, pH and C/N ratio. The soils of sites that are in in early stages of natural regeneration with less basimetric area, produce a high release of CO2. Vegetation and soil properties influenced microbial activity.
Randomised Comparison of the Stanford V (SV) Regimen and ABVD in the Treatment of Advanced Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL): Results from a UK NCRI Lymphoma Group Study, ISRCTN 64141244

Introduction: The weekly alternating SV regimen was compared to standard ABVD. An initial randomised phase II pilot study was carried out to determine tolerability and response rate, following which the study was expanded into a phase III trial. Methods: Consenting patients (pts) with advanced HL (bulk disease, B symptoms and/or stage III/IV) were randomised between 6–8 cycles of ABVD or 12 weeks SV, to be followed in both arms by involved field irradiation (34–36Gy) to sites of initial bulk disease (>5cm) or splenic deposits, and to residual masses. In the phase III study radiotherapy was not required for ABVD pts who achieved complete remission. Drugs given were: ABVD (days 1 & 15): doxorubicin 25mg/m2, bleomycin 10000iu/m2, vinblastine 6mg/m2, dacarbazine 375mg/m2), q28. SV (mustine 6mg/m2, wks 1,5,9, doxorubicin 25mg/m2, wks 1,3,5,7,9,11, vinblastine 6mg/m2 wks 1,3,5,7,9,11, prednisone 40mg/m2 alternate days, vincristine 1.4mg/m2 wks 2,4,6,8,10,12, bleomycin 5000iu/m2 wks 2,4,6,8,10, 12, etoposide 60 mg/m2, 2 consecutive days wks 3,7,11). The primary outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS). A total of 97 events were required to detect an improvement in 5-year PFS from 75% in ABVD to 85% in SV with a 5% significance level and 80% power. Results: 520 pts were randomized (261 ABVD, 259 SV) between 3/98 and 10/06. Median age was 35. 49% had stage I/II disease with bulk and/or B symptoms, 29% stage III, 22% stage IV. 74% of pts overall had B symptoms and 52% bulk disease. International Prognostic Score (IPS) showed 37% 0–1, 54% 2–3 and 9% 4–7. The treatment groups were well matched for baseline prognostic factors. 95% SV pts completed 12 weeks, and 94% ABVD had 6 (71%) or 7/8 (23%) cycles. Pulmonary toxicity grade III/IV was reported in 37 pts (27 ABVD, 10 SV). More non-pulmonary grade III/IV toxicities were reported in SV(19%) than in ABVD (8%). Radiotherapy was given in 62% overall: 72% SV and 53% ABVD. The overall response rate (CR, CRu, PR) at completion of all treatment was 90% for SV and 89% for ABVD. There was one death due to toxicity on the ABVD arm, and none in SV. With a median 4 years follow up, 113 pts (55 ABVD, 58 SV) had recurrent disease or died with a hazard ratio of 1.10 (95% CI =0.76, 1.59; p=0.61) and 5-year PFS of 76% in ABVD and 74% in SV, absolute difference 2% (95% CI= −5%, 11%). 40 pts died (22 ABVD, 18 SV) with a hazard ratio of 0.81 (95% CI=0.44, 1,52; p=0.51) and 5-year overall survival (OS) of 90% in ABVD and 92% in SV, absolute difference 2% (95% CI -5%, 5%). Pre-planned analysis of sub-groups did not show significant variation in these results according to stage or IPS. Conclusion: There is no evidence of a difference in PFS and OS between SV and ABVD in this trial, which made extensive use of consolidation radiotherapy and included a relatively favourable cohort. More pulmonary toxicity was reported for ABVD, while other toxicities were slightly higher with S V.
