PARENTAL DISCIPLINARY PRACTICES SEEN THROUGH CHILDREN'S EYES
Authors:   Aurel Vlaicu University OF ARAD, COSTIN ALINA
Published: November 2022

Although the word discipline, derived from the word disciplining, means teaching or training, it is associated with the application of punishments aimed at correcting inappropriate/improbable behavior (Knox, 2010, Larzelere & Kuhn 1993 cited in Zoysa, 2011). There is undeniably a special interest in parental disciplinary practices (DPP) (Straus & Stewart 1999) within several disciplines. In a country where the physical punishments are considered efficient and normal, presenting the realities regarding the way children are disciplined is more than necessary, it is almost vital. Starting from the premise that adults tend to become their parents (Zoysa, 2011, Fink, 2014), we are interested in finding out to what extent these milestones in education are still respected and how adolescents perceive DPP. 252 students answered online questionnaires and 48 teenagers participating in group discussions confirmed the cognitive theories according to which the focus in parental discipline must fall on moral internalization and autonomy (Baumrind, 1978, Grusec & Kuczyuski 1997). Internalization, along with the maintenance of the child's self-esteem and the parent-child relationship represents the, goals and finalities in fact of the application of effective disciplinary techniques (Grusec, Goodnow, 1994).
THE MOTIVATION OF LEARNING IN STUDENTS
Authors:   AUREL VLAICU UNIVERSITY OF ARAD, ALINA FELICIA ROMAN
Published: November 2022

The motivation for learning illustrates the determination each student has towards this important process. When the motivation starts from within each student, we say that it is an intrinsic motivation, and when it comes from the outside we will call it an extrinsic motivation. The motivation for learning is the dynamic and directional energetic process of the entire learning process. Motivation is the key to our entire behavior, and therefore to our learning behaviour. It is also important to note that the motivation for learning is vital for the efficiency of learning. In our research we aim to investigate some elements related to students` motivation for learning. The method of investigation of the problem of students` motivation in learning is the survey, conducted using the questionnaire as a tool. The sample of subjects consists of two hundred and twenty-two students from the “1 December 1918” University of Alba Iulia, year I, II and III, from different specializations. Among the indicators presented in the questionnaire we can include: aspects that lead to the increase of motivation for learning, which is the main reason for which they learn, how much time they spend daily on learning, whether they carry out a specific program when they learn; what solutions they resort to when they encounter a learning problem, etc. The conclusions are drawn up based on the statistical analysis and confirm the presence of original elements about the motivation of students’ learning.

Authors:   Adventus University of Cernica, MOLDOVA, PETRE Gianina
Published: November 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers from higher education faced challenges on how to adequately adjust their teaching from a face-to-face to an online format to train future teachers properly. The study aimed to illustrate participants' experiences regarding their training during virtual courses in an international Asian HE institution. The applied methodology was qualitative, with a case study as a research design, intending to understand participants' experiences and adjust the training model for virtual classes in a particular Asian context. The participants were MA and Ph.D. in education students enrolled in the Instructional Models class, delivered online. Data collection consisted of (a) a focus-group discussion (with five participants) lasting for one hour and a half; (b) document analysis (15 students' journals); (c) video records for five micro-teaching; (d) one study group that lasted for 60 minutes organized to reflect on the 14 micro-teaching lessons. After thematic coding of data, the results revealed participants' empowering experiences during training, with challenges and success in conducting micro-teachings for virtual classes. The participants recommended including more micro-teaching sessions to master the teaching strategies demonstrated and introducing basic training in using technology for those who did not have technological skills. With empowering but still challenging teaching experiences, for further studies, the recommendation is to apply the training model in an online context, for both pre-service and in-service teachers, from different levels of education.

Authors:   University of Kragujevac Department for Human Sciences, MILANOVIC Nedeljko M.
Published: November 2022

Taking into account the extremely large contributions that the cooperation of teachers and parents has on the development of the child, the aim of this research is aimed at determining the qualifications of teachers during studies for cooperation with parents. 225 teachers from the Republic of Serbia participated in the research. The obtained results show that teachers believe that they have acquired the necessary theoretical knowledge about the importance of cooperation with parents, while the low level of teacher consent is represented in the claims concerning the practical part of cooperation with parents. Teachers did not have enough opportunities during their studies to see how the process of cooperation in practice takes place, as well as to attend various forms of cooperation with parents. The analyzed results of the research show that it is necessary to direct more attention to the practical part concerning the training of teachers during studies for cooperation with parents, where teachers will be able to practically apply and experience the process of cooperation in a real environment.

ONIOM2-DFT study of N2, O2 and NO interaction with Ce-MOR: Active sites and thermodynamics
Authors: Izquierdo Rodolfo , Pérez Ana , Cubillán Néstor
Published: November 2022

A theoretical study was carried out for the adsorption of N2, O2, NO and NO+ with Cerium (Ce) modified mordenite (MOR). A two-layer ONIOM2 (two layer Integrated molecular Orbital + molecular Mechanics) methodology was employed, combining UFF (Universal Force Field) and DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculations for the low and high level, respectively. The formation of active Ce species based on the adsorption of CeO+ on the crystallographic positions T1, T2 and T4 in the H-MOR was studied. The geometrical, vibrational and thermodynamic results indicate that the Ce atom of CeO+ binds exothermically and spontaneously to two of the non-equivalent (Om) crystallographic oxygens of MOR (TnOm1Om2) according to: T1O1O4, T1O2O3, T2O4O7, T2O5O7 and T4O7O10 (T: Al or Si). The results of the interaction of N2, O2, NO and NO+ with Ce-MOR indicate that only exothermic and spontaneous adsorptions occur on the active sites located over the main channel of the 12-membered ring (12-MR) according to T1O1O4, T2O5O7 and T4O7O10. In general, the Ce-MOR system stabilizes electrophilic [CeO(NO+)] species, with possible activity deNOx reactions in the presence of nucleophilic reductants such as NH3; while for CeO(NO) species adsorbed on MOR a dynamic equilibrium between κ1NO, κ1ON, κ2NO adsorptions is reported which could be applicable for deNOx catalysis in the absence of reductants. On the basis of thermodynamic reaction functions, it is proposed that the most likely site for the location of active CeO+ is T2O5O7.

Published: November 2022

Introduction

Escherichia coli is a widespread environmental pathogen frequently causing dairy cow mastitis. This bacterium is particularly capable of acquiring antimicrobial resistance, which can have severe impacts on animal food safety and human health. The objective of the study was to investigate antimicrobial resistance and genetic correlations of E. coli from dairy cow mastitis cases in northern China.

Material and Methods

Forty strains of E. coli from 196 mastitis milk samples were collected, susceptibility to 13 common antibiotics and the prevalence of resistance genes were tested in these strains, and the genetic characteristics were identified by multilocus sequence typing.

Results

The results showed that most isolates were multidrug resistant (MDR) (75%), and the resistance rates to cefazolin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and ampicillin were 77.5%, 55.0%, and 52.5%, respectively. The representative genes of the isolates were aadA (62.5%) and tet(B) (60.0%). Multilocus sequence typing showed 19 different sequence types (STs) and 5 clonal complexes (CCs) in the 40 isolates, mainly represented by ST10 and CC10. The strains of the same ST or CC showed a high level of genetic relatedness, but the characteristics of their antimicrobial resistance were markedly different.

Conclusion

Most E. coli isolates in the study were MDR strains. Some strains of the same ST or CC showed diverse resistance characteristics to common antimicrobials. Therefore, E. coli from dairy cow mastitis in northern China should be investigated to elucidate its antimicrobial resistance and genotypes.

Authors: SHAKIR KHAWLAH MAHDI , RAIHAN NOOR NAJEH
Published: November 2022

نالت مسألة مساواة الرجل مع المرأة أهمية بالغة في الفكر النسوي الحداثي المعاصر، حيث تعتبر قضية المرأة المسلمة وحقوقها من أهم القضايا التي شهدت صراعاً فكرياً بين (الإسلام والغرب)، ولذلك عمدّت صاحبات القراءة الحداثية النِّسوية إلى تناول قضية المرأة تناولاً يستطعن من خلاله ايجاد توافق بين التشريعات الإسلاميّة وآليات التحديث الفكري الغربي، حيث قدمت النسويات لمعالجة هذه المسألة من خلال النصّ القرآني نفسه متجاوزات بذلك التفسير التقليدي (الذكوري)، معتقدات تمام الاعتقاد بأن الحالة المأساوية للمرأة المسلمة كانت بسبب تأويلات المفسرين (الخاطئة) للآيات القرآنية الخاصة بالمرأة، لذا رأت النسويات أنه لا بدّ من إعادة النظر في تفسير تلك الآيات وتجديد قراءاتها، قراءة تتسق مع التطور المادي، مبنية على سياقات منهجية تتخذ من مفهوم الجندر والمساواة الإنسانية أساساً عملياً، وقد حاولنا في هذا البحث تقديم أنموذج عن القراءات الحداثية النِّسوية  للنص القرآني حول موضوع (إرث المرأة)، وتقديم رؤية تحليلية نقدية عن هذا الخطاب الحداثي المعاصر.
“With Inviolable Voice”: Eliot’s Redeeming Word in The Waste Land
Authors:   Universidad de Salamanca (España), Patea Viorica
Published: November 2022

"This paper analyzes the notions of despair and selfhood in The Waste Land through the prism of Soren Kierkegaard’s Sickness unto Death (1849). It contends that despite the sense of loss and meaninglessness of existence, The Waste Land traces the journey of the self from ignorance and suffering, from being bound to temporality and sensual thirst, through “the dark night of the soul” to a vantage point from where it can see into “the heart of light.” Furthermore, it claims that Eliot is a twentieth century Dante who goes beyond European frontiers and attempts to reconcile Christianity, Buddhism and the Vedanta with an existentialist discourse."
The Waste Land: Meaning and Multiplicity
Authors:   University of Roehampton, London (UK), Sampson Fiona
Published: November 2022

"T.S. Eliot’s “stony rubbish ... / A heap of broken images” is often characterised as both The Waste Land’s theme, and the technique it employs to “connect” aspects of modernity. To read the poem from within the British twenty first century lyric tradition is to admire the way that such tessellation creates a literary whole. What lessons can be learnt for contemporary poetics, in an era characterised arguably less by a breakdown in meaning than by a multiplication of meanings: in the multiplying sources of authority offered by identity politics, or citizen journalism; in competing public discourses; in the ramifying identities one individual may acquire as they occupy a number of social or emotional roles? If the impulse of lyric poetry is to “sing” these into a kind of coherence, a unifying voice too often creates unifying perspective, is it possible that The Waste Land offers a counterexample?"
Contextual Theology during the Apartheid Period in South Africa: The Case of the University of Venda
Authors: Muthivhi Mashudu , Mudimeli Lufuluvhi Maria
Published: November 2022

This article provides a brief report and reflection on the historical development of contextual theology at the University of Venda (Univen). Contextual theology offered academic institutions, even in Bantustans such as Venda, a theologically significant expression. It is noteworthy that the subject of “contextual theology” as a paradigm, in this regard, is dissimilar to traditional Western classical theology by substance and orientation. This study focuses on the historical development of contextual theology and the contribution made by Univen between its inception in the early 1980s and the end of apartheid in the early 1990s. There is a need to critically explore the unique experience and development of contextual theology during apartheid. The relevance of this study is predicated on the complexities of articulating contextual engagement in distinct settings and the issues that shape them. This further involves locating contextual voices, priorities, and how they contribute to theological discourse. It includes uncovering lessons available for current and future developments of contextual theology. The oral history methodology is adopted to buttress reflection and analysis in this qualitative research endeavour. Oral interviews are transcribed and interpreted to bring to light the historical development of contextual theology at a former Bantustan university.
African Motherhood and Bosadi (Womanhood) among Pentecostals and Evangelicals: A Mohlakeng Perspective since the 1980s
Authors: Molobi Victor M.S , Mzondi Abraham Modisa Mkhondo
Published: November 2022

This article looks at some lived experiences of five African women in Mohlakeng township, situated in the West Rand District Municipality of Gauteng, South Africa, between 1980 and 2018. Four are Pentecostal pastors and one is an Evangelical pastor. Their biggest challenge was to demonstrate that they were equally capable as their male counterparts in leading a local church and functioning as pastors. These women displayed aspects of African motherhood and Bosadi (womanhood) as three functioned as pastors and two functioned in other non-leadership roles alongside their male counterparts. The article applies a combination of participatory observation and literature review as a research method.
The newer Non-Denominational Pentecostal Churches in South Africa: A Critical Approach to Non-Denominationalism in Pentecostalism
Authors: Kgatle Mookgo Solomon
Published: November 2022

This article seeks to illustrate that although there is a church historical significance of non-denominationalism in Pentecostalism demonstrated in numerical growth, non-denominational Pentecostal churches still require some level of order and doctrinal foundations for their sustainability. A lack of these fundamental doctrinal foundations might result in some of these churches facing closure, as calls for the regulation of churches in South Africa are growing stronger. This is done through a discussion of these non-denominational Pentecostal churches that can be categorised into four types: i) Pentecostal and charismatic; ii) prophetic; iii) Zionist; and iv) deliverance ministries. The significance of non-denominationalism in these is highlighted to demonstrate their numerical growth. However, to maintain such numerical growth, these churches would require a balanced approach to denominationalism that embraces doctrinal foundations in the Christian tradition. In other words, an escape from denominationalism should not mean an escape from the foundational doctrines.
Journeying with the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians on Contextuality (1989–2021)
Authors: Landman Christina
Published: November 2022

The author describes her journey with the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians (the Circle) in the 25 years between 1996 and 2021. This is done in terms of the methodological values of autoethnography, a method to describe and critique cultural phenomena through the author’s own experiences; “cultural” referring here to the culture of doing theology from African women’s perspectives. The author describes her participation in five of the six Pan-African conferences of the Circle (the first in Accra, Ghana, 1989, is included in the discussion, but was not attended by the author). The article specifically notes developments in the foci of the conferences in general. The author’s journeys with the conferences in Nairobi, Kenya (1996); Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (2002); Yaoundé, Cameroon (2006); Kempton Park, South Africa (2013); and Gaborone, Botswana (2019) are presented. The author evaluates the Circle’s ability to contextualise its theologies in terms of five questions, namely: 1) whether the Circle has been non-reductionist in establishing the causes of contextual patriarchy; 2) whether the Circle has been able to establish a multi-dimensional contra-culture vis-à-vis patriarchy; 3) whether the Circle has placed the binaries of male and female in dialogue with one another; 4) whether the Circle and its theologies have brought healing to a gendered society; and 5) whether the Circle has established partnerships outside its epistemological and social borders.

Quality of life, out-of-pocket expenditures, and indirect costs among patients with the central nervous system tumors in Thailand
Authors: Tunthanathip Thara , Sae-heng Sakchai , Oearsakul Thakul , Kaewborisutsakul Anukoon , Inkate Srirat , Madteng Suphavadee , Tanvejsilp Pimwara

Objectives:

The aim of this study was to investigate out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures, indirect costs, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) associated with the central nervous system (CNS) tumors in Thailand.

Materials and Methods:

A prospective study of CNS tumor patients who underwent first tumor resection at a tertiary care institution in Thailand was conducted. Patients were interviewed during hospitalization for undergoing first surgery. Within 6 months, they were interviewed once more if the disease continued to progress. Costs collected from a patient perspective and converted to 2019 US dollars. For dealing with these skewed data, a generalized linear model was used to investigate the effects of disease severity (malignancy, progressive disease, Karnofsky performance status score, and histology) and other factors on costs (OOP, informal care, productivity loss, and total costs). P < 0.05 was considered statistical significant for all analysis.

Results:

Among a total of 123 intracranial CNS tumor patients, there were 83 and 40 patients classified into benign and malignant, respectively. In the first brain surgery, there was no statistical difference in HRQoL between patients with benign and malignant tumors (P = 0.072). However, patients with progressive disease had lower HRQoL mean scores at pre-operative and progressive disease periods were 0.711 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.662–0.760) and 0.261 (95% CI: 0.144–0.378), respectively. Indirect expenditures were the primary cost driver, accounting for 73.81% of annual total costs. The total annual costs accounted for 59.81% of the reported patient’s income in malignant tumor patients. The progressive disease was the only factor that was significantly increases in all sorts of costs, including the OOP (P = 0.001), the indirect costs (P = 0.013), and the total annual costs (P = 0.001).

Conclusion:

Although there was no statistical difference in HRQoL and costs between patients with benign and malignant tumor, the total costs accounted for more than half of the reported income in malignant tumor patients. The primary cause of significant increases in all costs categories was disease progression.
