Teachers’ Assessment Approaches Regarding EFL Students’ Speaking Skill

This paper reports an exploratory and descriptive qualitative study on speaking assessment approaches in a teacher education program at a Colombian university. The study aimed to explore how four in-service English language teachers approach the assessment of students’ speaking skill. The data were gathered through classroom observations, interviews, and documentary analysis. Results revealed teachers’ preference for summative assessment practices to determine students’ progress regarding speaking. As a conclusion, teacher professional development in terms of language assessment may be seen as an alternative to develop significant assessment processes where students, teachers, and the institution can be benefited.
Maximizing income through beekeeping (Apis mellifera) by following right management practices

Beekeeping has the potential to diversify the income of farmers in addition to regular farm income. This can lead to a wealthier farmer and also a respectable source of income to unemployed youth. The present research was designed to find out how farmers can maximize their apiary income by following practices that are scientifically proved. Apis melllifera colonies were managed at different initial strengths of 5, 10, and 15 frames and were subjected to three types of honey extractions namely regular, two times in the season, and one time during the entire honey flow season, during 2014–15 and 2015–16. Benefit cost ratio (B: C) indicates that 15 frame colonies having mean 1:1.50 were the highest return gainer while the weakest has the lowest with 1:1.73 during 2014–15, and 10 frame colonies were observed with a 1:1.63 B:C ratio that is good compared with five frame colonies. Total expenditure was lowest in fiveframe colonies 17729/- and 17035/-, the first during the first and second years respectively and similarly gave lowest net return 30535/- and 23552/- compared to 10 (43558/- & 34929/-) and 15 frames (52266/- and 49401/-) colonies. Honey extraction frequencies also have a remarkable impact on return and colony growth. Here five frame colonies with single extraction gave a net return of 34017/-, whereas the same strength colonies under regular extraction return, gave only 24715/-, A similar trend was observed with 10 and 15 frame strength. During the dearth period, colonies with high frame strength (15 frames) proved to be uneconomical, similar to that of the lowest frame colonies while 10 frame colonies remained the most economical.
The need to belong: how to reduce workplace ostracism

ABSTRACT Although the need to belong, or the desire for interpersonal attachments, is a basic human motivation, understanding of how and when it influences workplace ostracism is notably limited. Based on belongingness theory, this study examines the negative relationship between the need to belong and exposure to workplace ostracism by focusing on the mediating role of organizational deviance and the moderating role of in-role performance. Data from 108 supervisor–subordinate dyads in China were collected at three time points. The results reveal that organizational deviance mediates the relationship between the need to belong and workplace ostracism. Additionally, in-role performance alleviates the negative relationship between the need to belong and organizational deviance. The implications for management theory and practice are discussed.
Understanding the effectiveness of social influence appeals in charitable giving: the roles of affinity with the cause, and past giving behavior

ABSTRACT Nonprofit organizations today face the challenges in terms of not only attracting the largest number of donors, but also developing effective strategies capable of targeting the right audience. To do so, social fundraising campaigns increasingly rely on social influence to motivate individuals to donate. This study aims to analyze the impact of social influence by using descriptive and injunctive social norms on the intention to donate, considering also the central roles that two personal characteristics – i.e., affinity with the social cause and past giving behavior – can play as moderators. The study findings enable us to provide both theoretical and practical implications.
Consumers’ Willingness to Pay More for Eco Friendly Products (Green Products) Classification Daily Needs Products

Willingness to Pay More (WTPM) for green product is still being debated, because some consumers are behaving that it is the obligation of producers and governments to provide environmentally friendly products, informing them without setting a high price so that buying intentions and consumer confidence arise to buy and consume it. Likewise among millennials, who tend to be more critical in their attitude towards the environment. This study aims to determine the effect of ecolabeling on consumers' willingness to pay more for green products through purchase intentions.
Analysis of the Cesarean Section Unit Cost With the Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing Method: A Narrative Review

It is necessary to think about a method of determining the cost of a cesarean section that is in accordance with the real conditions in a private hospital so that the hospital does not suffer losses. The research objective was to determine the method of calculating the unit cost of Caesarean section surgery at PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul Hospital based on the Time driven Activity Based Costing method. We conducted a narrative review of various scientific articles that reported the TDABC in cesarean surgery. Search Strategy We searched the Pubmed database, Elsevier and google scholar without language or time restrictions for articles that met the selection criteria. From selected journals, we extract unit cost data or procedure models from all included studies, study designs and methods, including results, conclusions, and limitations. Data extraction results are then presented descriptively and narrated in the results section. The results of the research on the cost of care for benign prostatic hyperplasia using Time Driven Activity Based Costing (TD-ABC) show that. There are variations in patient care unit ccost depending on the type of value chain that each patient passes. Based on the results of previous studies, it is expected that the unit cost of cesarean section using TD-ABC is more in line with reality. Based on the research results, it is expected that TD-ABC can determine the unit cost of cesarean section according to the real conditions in PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul Hospital.
Bank performance during the credit crisis: evidence from Asia-Pacific countries

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the determinants of the stock performance of small and medium banks across Asia-Pacific countries during the global financial crisis of 2007–2008. We find that small and medium banks with more Tier 1 capital, more deposits, more liquid assets, and less funding fragility performed better during the crisis. We also find differences in banking regulations across countries are generally uncorrelated with the performance of small and medium banks during the crisis. Furthermore, there is no systematic evidence that better bank governance is associated with better performance of small and medium banks during the crisis.
Cognitive acceleration in mathematics education: further evidence of impact

ABSTRACT The Cognitive Acceleration (or Let’s Think) approach to mathematics teaching is a Piagetian programme drawing on Vygotsky’s research, developed at King’s College London over 30 years ago, along with its associated professional development (PD) programme. This project sought to replicate the original studies conducted 10–15 years earlier and before much national curriculum change, through a professional development project with 41 teachers of children aged 6–12 from London in 2014. Results of pre- and post-test of mathematics attainment are reported for 232 students. Despite a shorter duration, data shows increased teacher efficacy, improved teaching and a mean gain equivalent to 2.6 months learning for benefitting students, which broadly mirrors cognitive effects of original trials with twice the duration. This evidence corroborates the impact demonstrated in several original CA research papers, and additionally details specific impact on teacher confidence and classroom practice.
Experimental Study on Directional Stability of Tumbling Plate

This paper describes the directional stability of the tumbling plate by measuring the trajectory of a paper piece that is shaped systematically. The tumbling phenomenon is considered to be an important phenomenon for aircraft flight safety because of the possibility of falling objects from the aircraft reaching far away. Therefore, this paper presents the result of measuring the trajectory of six configurations which shows that Concave configurations have directional stability while the Convex and Rectangular configurations are unstable. For generalization, the experimental result deducted using generalized equations into dimensionless values. Qualitative consideration is given to the relationship between the stall delay caused by sudden pitch motion and the phenomenon of the increase in the maximum vertical force coefficient (so-called Dynamic Lift), and the consistency with the dynamic lift wind tunnel test is shown.
Measurement error models reveal the scale of consumer movements along an isoscape gradient

In isotopic studies of mobile consumers, measurement error in spatial location is almost inevitable when individuals are observed only once. This error can have considerable impacts on the interpretation of ecologically important features, such as individual movement behaviour and dietary niche breadth. This study introduces a measurement error modelling framework for estimating movement scale and isotopic fractionation for consumers that move and feed along a linear isoscape gradient. The model assumes that the key mechanism underlying the difference in spatial isotopic regression slopes of mobile consumers and their baseline resources is the presence of measurement error in the spatial location of consumers. Measurement error is assumed to arise from consumer movements, which are represented by realistic movement kernels. Simulations with known parameter values are used to evaluate the performance of the models under scenarios involving different combinations of consumer mobility and sample size. Several variants of the model are fit to empirical data, and their parameter estimates are compared with those of alternative models. In simulations with known parameter values, model estimates of movement scale converged to the known values and had substantially smaller bias and variance than those of alternative models. Estimates of movement scale and fractionation for empirical data were consistent with previously reported estimates. Neglecting measurement error in spatial location is likely to hinder progress in spatial isotopic analyses. The proposed framework provides a statistically principled basis for incorporating measurement error in spatial location into isoscape analyses to provide improved estimates of parameters of interest, such as movement scale and fractionation. The framework is sufficiently general to be applicable to a variety of species, isotopic tracers, environments and spatial scales. Logical next steps to extend the framework could involve modelling of multiple species, nonlinear isoscape gradients and 2‐dimensional isoscapes.

Production performance and oxidative stability of milk enriched with n-3 fatty acids in Holstein cows fed flaxseed meal

Abstract: Six Holstein cows were used in a replicated 3 × 3 Latin Square design to investigate the effect of flaxseed meal on production performance and oxidative stability of milk enriched with n-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed oil was abomasally infused to all cows at 243 g·d−1 which increased milk concentration of α-linolenic acid from 3.08 (pretrial) up to 53.0 mg·g−1 fat. On a dry matter basis, dietary treatments were canola meal (CM; 165 g·kg−1), flaxseed meal (FM; 165 g·kg−1), and CM (165 g·kg−1) + vitamin E (VE; 300 IU·kg−1). Pre-planned contrasts were CM vs. FM and VE vs. FM. No difference was observed on dry matter intake, milk production, and yield of milk protein, and lactose for any of the contrasts evaluated. However, fat yield tended to be lower with FM relative to CM but was not different from VE. Milk enterolactone concentration was 6.8-fold greater with FM than with CM, whereas milk tocopherol was increased by 3.4-fold with VE relative to FM. Increased concentrations of enterolactone or tocopherol were not efficient to significantly modify the time course of appearance of propanal, hexanal, hept-cis-4-enal, and 1-octen-3-one in milk during storage evaluated for 10 d at 4 °C.
An Online-Based Edu-Escape Room: A Comparison Study of a Multidimensional Domain of PSTs with Flipped Sustainability-STEM Contents

The use of active and flipped methodologies has increased in recent years. Here, gamification uses typical elements of a game in different contexts, including that of education. Specifically, Escape Room games used as educational tools have potential for teaching–learning, and they can be beneficial because they can improve students’ motivation and emotions toward learning. This is particularly valuable in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses, where the cognitive factor and multidimensional domain are closely connected. This research presents an online-based Edu-Escape Room with science and sustainability contents as an educative tool in a STEM course. With the intervention proposed, we analyze how this tool influences the multidimensional domain (attitudes, self-efficacy and emotions) of pre-service teachers (PSTs). According to attitude and self-efficacy analysis, it is observed that most of the items analyzed show an increase in self-efficacy and more positive attitudes after the intervention. In particular, Question 11 (Q11) indicates a significant difference. Concerning the results for emotion, the positive emotions “joy”, “satisfaction” and “fun” are significantly increased after the intervention. However, the negative emotions “nervousness”, “frustration” and “concern” also increase, partly due to the game characteristics. The proposed activity had a medium effect on items with significant differences except for the emotion “frustration”, where the intervention had a large effect according to effect size (ES) analysis. According to the principal component analysis (PCA), the attitudes, self-efficacy and emotions of the PSTs are positively correlated, and the influence of the proposed activity shows a significant improvement in these variables. Finally, the structural equation modeling partial least squares (SEM-PLS) analysis showed the effects that the instruction has on the PSTs’ emotions and also that they had a significant effect on the positive attitudes towards and self-efficacy in science. Therefore, there are multiple benefits in the multidimensional domain of PSTs of having implemented the proposed online-based Edu-Escape Room.
Teacher Perceptions of Barriers to Providing Work-Based Learning Experiences

This study investigated teachers’ perceptions of barriers to planning and organizing work-based learning experiences (WBLEs) for students with intellectual disability. Participants were high school special education teachers who had at least one student with an intellectual disability age 14 or older on their caseload (N = 256). Teachers were asked to complete an online questionnaire about WBLEs. We used content analysis procedures to analyze teacher’s responses to two open-ended questions about barriers to WBLEs that occur in the school and community. Although teachers reported barriers to school and community settings separately, their responses were similar across settings and collapsed into one set of themes. Barriers to planning and organizing WBLEs included opportunities, resources, stakeholder support, time, and support for students. We discuss the need for additional research about contextual factors that may relate to barriers as well as practical implications for how schools and teachers can address barriers.

Transparent reporting of hypotheses and analyses in behavioral medicine research: an audit of publications in 2018 and 2008

ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to document the use of transparent reporting of hypotheses and analyses in behavioral medicine journals in 2018 and 2008. Design: We examined a randomly selected portion of articles published in 2018 and 2008 by behavioral medicine journals with the highest impact factor, excluding manuscripts that were reviews or purely descriptive. Main Outcome Measures: We coded whether articles explicitly stated if the hypotheses/outcomes/analyses were primary or secondary; if study was registered/pre-registered; if ‘exploratory’ or a related term was used to describe analyses/aims; and if power analyses were reported. Results: We coded 162 manuscripts published in 2018 (87% observational and 12% experimental). Sixteen percent were explicit in describing hypotheses/outcomes/analyses as primary or secondary, 51% appeared to report secondary hypotheses/outcomes/analyses but did not use term ‘secondary,’ and 33% were unclear. Registration occurred in 14% of studies, but 91% did not report which analyses were registered. ‘Exploratory’ or related term was used in 31% of studies. Power analyses were reported in 8% of studies. Compared to 2008 (n = 120), studies published in 2018 were more likely to be registered and less likely to be unclear if outcomes were primary or secondary. Conclusions: Behavioral medicine stakeholders should consider strategies to increase clarity of reporting, and particularly details that will inform readers if analyses were pre-planned or post-hoc.

Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles by Aspergillus sakultaensis and Its Antibacterial Activity against Human Pathogens

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are broadly applied in numerous industries due to their exclusive physico-chemical and antimicrobial properties. Herein, the biosynthesis of extremely stable silver nanoparticles by the extracellular extract of the novel strain Aspergillus sakultaensis AUMC13885 is investigated for the first time. The physico-chemical characteristics of the synthesized AgNPs were assayed by using UV–vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). The UV-vis recorded a maximum absorption band at 405 nm, which matched to the surface plasmon absorbance of silver nanoparticles. Aspergillus sakultaensis AUMC13885 synthesized a uniformly distributed AgNPs of 5-25 nm in size estimated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Detection of the proteins binding to the synthesized nanoparticles was conducted by FT-IR analysis. The optimum conditions for AgNPs biosynthesis in this study were 1.0 mM substrate, alkaline pH, reaction temperature of 80°C, and reaction time of 120 hours. The activity of AgNPs against human pathogenic bacteria was conducted by well diffusion assay. Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus vulgaris were sensitive to the synthesized AgNPs that affirm the antibacterial activity. Consequently, this study contributes with the eco-friendly biogenic way for producing potential antibacterial AgNPs against resistant human pathogens and attributes growing interest on fungi as a sustainable source for nanoparticles synthesis
