Investigating the reading comprehension ability of Grade 9 (Form 2) learners at Bulawayo Central District high schools in Zimbabwe

Reading ability is important in education, as it transcends all forms of learning. Poor reading ability usually means that a learner will encounter academic challenges and perform poorly at school. Grade 9 (form 2) learners in Zimbabwe were thought to have been disadvantaged during Zimbabwe’s economic turmoil from 2006 to 2008. There were so many disruptions and instances of absenteeism in government schools during that period that these learners, who were in grade R at the time, may not have received adequate reading instruction. The aim of the study was to investigate the reading comprehension levels of grade 9 (form 2) learners in Bulawayo Central District high schools in Zimbabwe to determine whether they were disadvantaged by the disruptions, and to what extent. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to collect data to establish the learners’ reading proficiency and to determine what factors influenced their reading proficiency. Forty-eight learners from government schools and 22 from private schools voluntarily wrote a reading comprehension test and provided narratives on their reading development. The test results were analysed using ANOVA and the narratives were analysed using content analysis. The test results showed that the reading comprehension level of the cohort of grade 9 (form 2) learners in government schools was below that expected for grade 4. The narratives of the government school learners were also fraught with errors, whereas private school learners wrote better narratives. The study therefore showed that the reading proficiency of the government school learners who were in grade R in 2008 was below the required level. The learners’ reading development seems to have been adversely affected by the national disruptions. Recommendations are made for interventions to improve the reading proficiency of grade 9 learners in government schools before they pursue tertiary education.

Speech Acts in EFL Classrooms

Speech act is a functional unit in the form of an act which helps humans understand or accomplish things with words in communication. This research was aimed to find out and analyse the types of speech acts which were performed by teachers and students in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. The researcher employed the speech act theory from Cruse (2000) to analyse and interpret the research results. Qualitative research was applied in this research due to the data source was from the teaching and learning activities in naturalistic environments in English classrooms. The subjects of this research were teachers and students in REAL Equivalent English classrooms. The results showed that there were three types of speech acts found in the interactions between the teachers and students, namely locutionary act, illocutionary act, and perlocutionary act. Locutionary act was performed when teachers and students uttered expressions with no certain intentions. Illocutionary act, on the other hand, was performed when the expressions contained certain intentions to listeners. Perlocutionary act was performed when the listeners showed responses and acted as feedback to the speakers’ utterances. By conducting this research, the researcher hopes that it can give more insights to readers regarding to the study of speech act theory in pragmatics field. Keywords: English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Classrooms, Speech Acts, REAL Equivalent English, Teachers and Students.
The Effectiveness of the New Student’s Welcoming Event Using the Volunteerism Approach at the University Level

Every year the universities would receive the enrolment of new students as a part of the standard cycle of the higher learning education provider's supply chain.As a strategic countermeasure to control the internal traffic during the registration day at the Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM), the new students would not be allowed to use their own transportation to the student halls instead the shuttle bus services were provided by the university to transport them after the registration.Taking the consideration of the family members who accompanied them, the stuffs and the travelling fatigue, it would make them felt unpleasant.This may lead to a bad impression towards the university at the very beginning of their campus life.Thus, the university's management via the Student Affairs Office has arranged a group of senior students to assist the students and families on that day on the volunteerism basis.Their roles are to welcome, greet and help the new students during their registration at the university's student halls.This study would assess the effectiveness of this newly designed program by analyzing the volunteerism model from the volunteers' point of view and the second approach was to assess the feedback of the program from the new students' perspectives as well.Two set of questionnaires were devised targeting both groups of volunteers and new intake-students to gain the data before the descriptive analysis is carried out.The results show that the volunteers played a vital role in giving first good impression to the new students and their families while the new students also accept that the volunteers had really helped them where 96% and 77% of both groups concluded the event was a success, respectively.The suggestion for the further improvements also is identified which could be taken as an output for the future events.

Assessing Causality Structures learned from Digital Text Media

In this paper we describe a framework to uncover potential causal relations between event mentions from streaming text of news media. This framework relies on a dataset of manually labeled events to train a recurrent neural network for event detection. It then creates a time series of event clusters, where clusters are based on BERT contextual word embedding representations of the identified events. Using these time series dataset, we assess four methods based on Granger causality for inferring causal relations. Granger causality is a statistical concept of causality that is based on forecasting. It states that a cause occurs before the effect, and the cause produces unique changes in the effect, so past values of the cause help predict future values of the effect. The four analyzed methods are the pairwise Granger test, VAR(1), BigVar and SiMoNe. The framework is applied to the New York Times dataset, which covers news for a period of 246 months. This preliminary analysis delivers important insights into the nature of each method, identifies differences and commonalities, and points out some of their strengths and weaknesses.

Building literacy awareness through a community library

Every individual needs to survive and even succeed in their life. One of the ways to achieve such success is to be literate. Literacy makes people civilized and knows the purpose of their life. People need to build their awareness of the importance of literacy, one of which is through building reading literacy awareness. This paper aims at building literacy awareness through a community library built for the people in Regaji Village, Karo Regency, North Sumatra. This is a descriptive study taking the local people living in Regaji Village as the participants. Observations, interviews, and documentation were used to collect the data related to the past and current reading literacy awareness in this village. The data were analyzed qualitatively. The results of the data analysis show that the reading literacy awareness of the local people was still relatively low. However, after the presence of the community library in this village, the literacy awareness of the local people, especially children, has grown, indicated by their increased reading habits. This current situation should be maintained and developed so that all the children in this village keep aware of the importance of reading literacy that eventually helps them get success in their future life.
Progressive Secret Image Sharing Scheme Based on Semantic Segmentation

Secret Image Sharing (SIS) plays an important role in the field of information security. At present, from the perspective of image restoration, SIS schemes are roughly divided into two categories: traditional threshold SIS schemes and Progressive SIS (PSIS) schemes. The former provides an all-or-nothing recovery mode in image reconstruction phase. If one of these shadows is damaged or lost, the reconstruction will fail. In contrast, the latter can present the original image progressively during the reconstruction phase. In this paper, a PSIS scheme based on semantic segmentation is proposed, where only specific objects or sensitive areas in the image are shared. After simple processing, the remaining background images can be publicly transmitted on insecure channels of the network. The background image will be regarded as a normal picture by people without shares. Owners who have reached the share of trapdoor numbers can recover a key target in an image. As the share increases, more key targets can be recovered. This paper is the first to propose secure secret sharing of images based on semantic targets. Through this method, it is possible to perform permission control on the target that needs to be divided and shared. Since the shared object is not the entire image, it can save storage space to a certain extent. Finally, through the analysis of the experimental results and comparison with other works, it can be concluded that the proposed scheme has a higher level of security and the amount of data that needs to be transmitted is small.

Logical feasibility analysis of media worksheets using validation of material experts, linguists, design experts and subject matter experts; the attractiveness of student worksheets was empirically analyzed using a closed questionnaire of student responses, and differences in the level of understanding were analyzed through the t test of the pre test results before using the media and the post test results after using the media in the experimental class and the control class. The results showed that the worksheets produced were feasible to use with the predicate of validation both in terms of design, language, and learning, as well as very good in terms of material; Student responses also show a very interesting predicate; the level of concept understanding of students who learn to use LKS is better than those who do not use LKS. This indicates that the worksheets developed can be used to be applied in the next research phase.
Latency-Aware Data Placements for Operational Cost Minimization of Distributed Data Centers

A large amount of data are stored in geographically distributed data centers interconnected by the Internet. The power consumption for running the servers storing the data and inter-data center network transport for data update among the multiple data copies stored in different data centers impose a significant operational cost on cloud service providers. Few research places data replicas in the data centers by jointly taking both electricity consumption and network transport into account under the user access latency requirement constraints. However, there is an intrinsic tradeoff between the electricity consumption of the data centers and the network transport cost for data update. In this paper, we tackle the problem of data placement in data centers with the aim to minimize the operational cost under user access latency requirements, assuming all the data have K copies. We propose an effective algorithm, Latency-aware and operational Cost minimization Data Placement (LCDP), which partitions the data into multiple data groups according to the data access rates and greedily selects K data centers incurring the minimum cost for each data in each data group. We prove that algorithm LCDP is \(\frac{1}{2} \ln |\mathrm {U}|\)-approximation to the data placement problem, where \(|\mathrm {U}|\) is the number of users. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the power consumption cost, the network transport cost, and the operational cost of the data centers.
