Lexical Richness of the Expository Writing in Indonesian Senior High School Students

Learning a foreign language is often related to knowing the words which called lexical richness. This current study investigate the lexical richness in senior high school students. The data are taken from the students’ writing on expository essay. Writing an expository essay is a challenge for students where they should be able to write based on a given theme using a varied vocabulary so later the students are capable making a good writing. The students are collected from three grades that consist of 30 students in each grades. By the total amount of the students, it will be measured by some types of lexical richness; lexical density, lexical sophistication, and lexical variation. After being investigated, the results were found that lexical richness in each grades showed a significant increase in each class, starting from grade 10 to grade 12. According to all those three measurements, showed that grade 12 is the highest percentages among others and it concludes that students in grade 12 is the most prepared and have the richest lexical between grade 10 and 11.
Effects of internal focus and external focus of attention on postural balance in school-aged children

Objective: Attentional focus is one of the critical factors that has consistently been demonstrated to enhance motor performance and motor skill. Focusing attention on the inside of the body while engaging in a particular exercise is called internal focus (IF) and focus on the external environment is called external focus (EF). The purpose of this study was to identify effects of IF and EF of attention on postural balance in healthy school-aged children. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Twenty-four healthy school-aged children participated in this study. School-aged children was defined as children ages 8-12 years old. They performed the one-legged standing with EF (focusing on the marker at the level of participants’ chest and 150 cm away), IF (focusing the supporting feet), and control (no instruction) respectively. The order of the focus condition was randomly selected. The center of pressure (COP) range, distance, and velocity was measured to compare the effects of applying different attentional focuses in the three conditions. Results: The results of our study show that differences in COP range, distance, and velocity among groups were not significant between the different attentional focuses, although all variables of EF were smaller than IF. It is postulated that the reason for this may be that school school-aged children between 8-12 years old go through a transitional phase from IF to EF in effective motor learning. Conclusions: These findings reveal that the type of attentional focus did not have any effect on postural balance in healthy school-aged children.
Lost Without You: The Effects of Relationship Dissolution on the Self

Following a breakup, people often indicate that they have lost part of themselves. The process of coping with such a loss involves rebuilding a sense of self without the former partner. The present research examines the effect of breakup on two aspects of identity, as well as the potential factors that may contribute to perceived change in identity. In Study 1, the Self-Assurance and Concern for Others (SACO) scale was developed to assess two aspects of identity thought to be susceptible to change following breakup. The scale correlated with established identity-related constructs in the expected direction demonstrating some validity. In Study 2, participants who experienced a breakup (N = 100), reported a decline in self-assurance, but not in concern for others. In Study 3, participants in relationships (N = 330) were assessed longitudinally. Results suggested that people who broke-up use self-enhancing techniques by derogating their pre-breakup self in an effort to cope with the threat inherent in the breakup. Whereas participants in Study 3 perceived changes in both self-assurance and concern for others, there was no significant group level pre- to post-breakup change in these aspects. However, when participants experienced genuine change following the breakup, they reported a decline in mood. In general, searching for meaning, and perceiving the breakup as central to one’s identity predicted perceived negative change in the self but not genuine change. The present research advances the literature on the perception of change in aspects of identity following breakups and advances method for assessing such change.
Sorority flow: the rhetoric of sisterhood in post-network television

ABSTRACT This essay examines the use of sororal discourse and imagery in post-network television, and situates this “rhetoric of sisterhood” within the broader traditions of both female-driven network programing and independent feminist filmmaking—as well as the more recent tradition of “Quality TV. ” Taking as its primary case studies series including Big Little Lies, GLOW, Claws, Top of the Lake, Dietland, and Orange is the New Black, it argues that these shows invoke an aspirational ideal of sisterhood that at once recalls second-wave feminist discourse and updates it, by staging a more self-consciously intersectional vision of female solidarity. If these idealized ally narratives diverge from much previous feminist broadcast programming, in their willingness to prioritize politics over plausibility, this essay demonstrates their debts to the frankly polemical work of feminist filmmakers like Agnès Varda, Lizzie Borden, Marleen Gorris, and Julie Dash. At the same time, it suggests these displays of female kinship constitute a radical response to the punitive treatment of women that has come to dominate prestige TV. I conclude, then, by suggesting these shows constitute an important strain of counter-programming, which media scholars might use to complicate prevailing narratives of post-network TV that center so-called male anti-hero shows by factoring in these narratives of collective female heroics.
Assessing Self-Perceived Interprofessional Collaborative Competency on Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences Through Interprofessional Simulations

Objective. To implement and assess the impact of Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students participating in a required interprofessional (IP) simulation during an advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE). Methods. Fourth-year PharmD students completing APPEs were required to participate in one of three IP simulations during the 2016-2017 academic year to improve their interprofessional teamwork and collaboration skills. Pharmacy student self-perception of IP competence was measured by the Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey (ICCAS), administered in a retrospective pre-/post-test design. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics to obtain an overview of the data. Paired t tests were used to compare the pre- and post-test results. Results. During the 2016-2017 academic year, 157 PharmD students were assigned to complete an IP simulation. Student scores on the six subscales of the ICCAS (communication, collaboration, roles and responsibility, collaborative patient-centered approach, conflict management, and team functioning) were compared. Scores in all categories significantly increased after completion of the simulation. Conclusion. Following participation in an IP simulation, PharmD students felt competent to engage in IP collaboration, and this, along with their performance on APPEs, determined their practice-readiness for IP teamwork upon graduation.
Permanent Deformation of Posterior Leaf-Spring Ankle-Foot Orthoses: A Comparison of Different Materials

Permanent deformation of posterior leaf-spring ankle-foot orthoses after prolonged use among foot-drop patients has been observed in Dundee, Scotland. A lack of evidence exists to suggest which material used to manufacture these orthoses best avoids this problem. This study aims to determine whether carbon fiber, polypropylene, or polyethylene has the best deformation resistance. Customized posterior leaf-spring ankle-foot orthoses of each material were tested on a universal testing machine to quantify material and structural properties, and subsequently attached to a custom-built cyclical loading machine and cyclically plantarflexed from 0° to 10°. After varying numbers of cycles, the orthosis was returned to the universal testing machine and its structural and material properties quantified again. Results indicate that after 30,000 cycles, no material properties had been affected. However, by 90,000 cycles and thereafter, both thermoplastics began to lose stiffness and had permanently deformed to a plantarflexed position. Carbon fiber remained relatively unaffected throughout, showing superior resistance. We recommend carbon fiber being used for more active foot-drop patients and thermoplastics for less active patients and growing children. It is anticipated this will ultimately result in a better use of resources, increased efficiency in orthosis prescription for foot-drop management, and most importantly, improved patient care.
Dear British criminology: Where has all the race and racism gone?

In this article we use Emirbayer and Desmond’s institutional reflexivity framework to critically examine the production of racial knowledge in British criminology. Identifying weakness, neglect and marginalization in theorizing race and racism, we focus principally on the disciplinary unconscious element of their three-tier framework, identifying and interrogating aspects of criminology’s ‘obligatory problematics’, ‘habits of thought’ and ‘position-taking’ as well as its institutional structure and social relations that combine to render the discipline ‘institutionally white’. We also consider, briefly, aspects of criminology’s relationship to race, racism and whiteness in the USA. The final part of the article makes the case for British criminology to engage in telling and narrating racisms, urging it to understand the complexities of race in our subject matter, avoid its reduction to class and inequality, and to pay particular attention to reflexivity, history, sociology and language, turning to face race with postcolonial tools and resolve.
The Most Effective Treatments for Clostridium difficile Diarrhea: An Evidence-Based Review

Clostridium difficile is more common, more virulent, and more difficult to treat than in past decades. Oral vancomycin and metronidazole have been the subject of the most rigorous study in this disease. Although these antibiotics have largely been viewed as equivalent, studies support vancomycin for severe disease, whereas metronidazole is noninferior in milder disease. Both antibiotics are superior to the toxin-binding agent tolevamer. No evidence supports probiotics for initial disease, but there may be utility in relapsing disease. There is an exiguous evidence base regarding antibiotic treatment of relapsing disease, but tapered and pulsed regimens of vancomycin remain possible options. Preliminary evidence supports the use of monoclonal antibodies against C. difficile toxins A and B for relapsing episodes. The studies concerning refractory disease are limited to a case series design, whereas it remains unclear how effective probiotics are in the prevention of C. difficile infection.
Registered social workers who are supervisors: A national survey

INTRODUCTION: Aotearoa New Zealand registered social workers who supervise are expected to provide supervision in accordance with the Social Workers Registration Board standards. This article aims to establish baseline about supervisors and their supervision.METHODS: A national postal survey of 278 registered social workers supervision gathered data about the background, experiences and views of 138 supervisors. The quantitative data were analysed using IBM SPSS 24. One-way ANOVA and post hoc tests were applied to explore variances in means for the independent variables of type of registration, area of practice, gender, age, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, recognised qualifications, experience as social worker, experience as a supervisor, and supervisory training and education across six scales concerned with the respondents’ provision of supervision.FINDINGS: The findings provide baseline demographic information about the supervisors, as well as descriptions of their supervisory practice. This includes information regarding the forms, logistics, types of contact, the approaches and models used, session processes and their overall satisfaction and evaluation of the supervision they provide.CONCLUSIONS: The article concludes that most supervisors provided supervision that is typical of individual, clinical or professional supervision and was aligned with professional standards. Questions were raised concerning the predominance of non-Māori supervisors and the cultural relevancy, safety and responsiveness of supervisors to Māori. Suggestions are made regarding the development of the supervisory workforce. Areas for further research are identified regarding the differences in supervisory practice related to fields of practice, ethnicity, experience, qualifications and training.
Educational differences of healthy life expectancy among the older adults in China: A multidimensional examination using the multistate life table method

ABSTRACT Healthy life expectancy (HLE) is an emerging field in aging studies. Nevertheless, understanding of HLE from the perspective of socioeconomic status (SES) is inadequate. To fill this gap, the present study explores differences in HLE by SES based on two nationally representative longitudinal databases in China. The study adopts education as a proxy of SES and employs the multistate life table method to compute HLE. Health is measured by the following four indicators: physical function, cognitive function, depression, and self-rated health. The results show that educational differences are associated with significantly different results in these four health indicators. Active life expectancy, cognitive-impairment-free life expectancy, and self-rated healthy life expectancy differ by existence of educational attainment among the old adults, with the nonilliterate group enjoying both longer cognitive-impairment-free life expectancy and self-rated healthy life expectancy, while unexpectedly, the illiterate group has a higher active life expectancy at most ages. In contrast, depression-free life expectancy is similar between the two educational categories. The positive association between educational attainment and cognitive-impairment-free life expectancy and self-rated healthy life expectancy might be explained by the beneficial effect of education in improving and maintaining cognitive ability and SES, while the negative association between educational attainment and active life expectancy might be interpreted by the higher rate of mortality and the absence of social-security support among less educated Chinese senior citizens. The lack of difference by educational attainment in depression-free life expectancy requires further investigation.
Integrated urban regeneration based on an interdisciplinary experience in Lisbon (Regeneración urbana integrada basada en una experiencia interdisciplinar en Lisboa)

ABSTRACT European policies recommend holistic approaches based on interdisciplinary teams when tackling the urban regeneration of residential buildings. This research presents the experience and findings of a collaborative research project between the disciplines of architecture and environmental psychology conducted in the Barrio das Estacas district of Lisbon, which has a significant elderly population. The experience combined a technical diagnosis of the public space and residential buildings together with a diagnosis of the psychosocial variables of its residents, obtained by means of surveys, enabling the development of effective action proposals that promote ‘ageing at home’. The research seeks to highlight the true value of characterizing the resident population and analysing their needs and demands for the purposes of urban regeneration through consultation processes, integrating the interdisciplinary perspective in the design of efficient intervention protocols for society. The results show that the residents are satisfied with their residential environment but have noted significant technical contraventions, requirements and demands for work that would improve their safety, health and comfort.
Analysis the Use of Semester Package System to Increase GPA for Scholarship Students at Universitas Terbuka, Indonesia

The aim of the paper was to analyze the use of Semester Packaged System (SPS) in facilitating students to complete their four years with the minimum GPA 2.50 in the first year, 2.75 in the second year to the last year. The study was conducted in Universitas Terbuka (UT). Based on experiences, UT is aware that the GPA requirements are not easy to meet. Students need face-to-face earning facilitation. SPS is devided into four categories, SPS Plus, SPS Full, SPS Semi, and SPS Non-Face to face. This research analyzes GPAs from SPS Plus, SPS Semi, and SPS non-Face to face. Two types of data were used, all students’ final scores obtained from the office of UT’s Examination Centre and students perception on Face to face implemtation obtained from questionnaires. The 6 locations of samples were chosen purposively from 37 UT’s Regional offices that offered scholarship. T-test was employed to examine diffrences between scholarship-students based on the scholarship types and semesters of the students. Results showed that almost in all situasion, students in SPS Plus have significantly higher GPA than other types of scholarship except in one situation. There was no significant differences beetween GPAs of SPS Plus and SPS Semi in the second semester. These results, to some extent, could cause by positive perceptions of SPS Plus students towards face to face services.
Family socioeconomic status and students’ choice of STEM majors

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the trends of Cambodian government scholarship students’ choice of academic major; the significant association between family socioeconomic status (SES) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors, and the patterns of STEM major choices across demographic and geographical characteristics. Design/methodology/approach Descriptive analysis and cross-tabulation statistical tests were employed to analyze the data of 1,000 students drawn from the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport scholarships database of 2018. The study employed a correlational study design. Findings Findings revealed that the Cambodian government scholarship students were more inclined to major in social science than science and engineering-related fields. Findings also positioned that students’ choice of STEM majors was significantly associated with family SES, gender and locality. Students from families with higher SES, male students and students from the provinces were more likely to choose STEM majors than their counterparts. Originality/value These findings point to some practical considerations on how to maximize low SES students’ enrollment in STEM majors at a higher education of Cambodia.

Talking the Intangible: Contemporary Classical Pianists on Elusive Aspects of Music-Making

Placing the perceptions of ten contemporary professional pianists at its centre, this study explores how ‘intangibles’ in contemporary piano performance can be approached, understood, communicated and operationalised. Through a methodological approach of in-depth interviews recorded on video, coded and placed in the context of relevant literature and the experiences of other musicians, this study aims to locate the spaces in which intangibles play a role in classical piano performance, and determine the factors that influence how performers access and engage with intangible aspects of their music-making. In this way, it seeks to complement a vast body of literature on more tangible aspects of the instrument and its music, and contribute to a broader, more inclusive and balanced understanding of the constructs underlying piano performance as a process rather than product. It brings to the fore the actual voices of those who perform, yet have been downplayed or forgotten in much academic literature to date. Organised in three parts, Part One outlines the research questions and methodological approach, considers multiple perspectives on the intangible from a range of (sub) disciplines, and introduces the ten pianists interviewed for this study (Chapters One-Three). Part Two presents views on locating and understanding the intangibles, organised by emerging topics and themes, and prominently presenting the voices of the pianists themselves on each issue (Chapters Four-Six). This is also the key feature of Part Three, with the next two chapters on accessing and communicating intangibles respectively, gradually bringing each pianist to life through their values and attitudes (Chapters Seven-Eight). The final Chapter (Nine) brings together the main strands of the discourse, the overall perceptions to emerge, and discusses their implications for intangibles in music-making.
The Effects of Signaled Reinforcer Duration on Preference

The Effects of Signaled Reinforcer Duration on Preference Anthony C. Oliver It has been suggested that reinforcers of different durations can be made more discriminable by pairing specific stimulus conditions with different durations (Bonem & Crossman, 1988). The purpose of the current experiment was to assess the effects of signaling reinforcer duration prior to reinforcer onset on initial-link responding under a concurrent-chains schedule of reinforcement. Initial-link responding was assessed across two sets of reinforcer durations (2vs. 6-s hopper access and 6vs. 10-s hopper access) and conditions in which terminal-link stimuli were the same (e.g., both red) and different (e.g., white, blue, or yellow). Preference was defined as the key with the proportion of responses greater than 0.5. Preference for the longer-duration reinforcer occurred for three of four pigeons when presented as a choice between 2 s and 6 s. One of four pigeons preferred the longer duration reinforcer when presented with 6 s vs. 10 s. The inclusion of differential terminal-link stimuli did not enhance preference for the longer duration relative to conditions in which the terminal-link stimuli were undifferentiated across both sets of reinforcer durations.
