Impacting Attitudes towards Reading in Secondary School Students: A Direct Reading Strategy Intervention
Authors: Al-Tamimi Nasser Omer Mubarak
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the direct reading strategy instruction (DRSI) would be effective in enhancing attitudes towards reading in Yemeni pre-university students who study English as a foreign language. Participants were 60 Yemeni students who were given the adult survey of reading attitude questionnaire before and after the treatment to investigate their attitudes towards reading after four months of focus on reading strategy instruction  DRSI is the core of this investigation (the independent variable) whereas reading attitude (the dependent variable) constitutes the target of DRSI activities. The data for this study were collected through using adult survey of reading attitude questionnaire (ASRA). The results revealed significant improvement in reading attitudes of students in the experimental group compared to their pre-test performance and to that of the control group. The mean scores of the experimental group in the pre-and post-ASRA were 2.28 and 3.81 respectively, indicating an improvement in their attitudes towards reading. However, the mean scores of the control group in the pre and post ASRA were 2.39 and 2.35 respectively, indicating no improvement in their attitudes towards reading. Such results are consistent with some related studies which suggest that strategy-based instruction could be rewarding for improving reading attitudes.

Published: November 2024

Rhetorical communication and metadiscoursal devices are important in understanding the rhetorical negotiations involved in academic texts. Research studies comparing these two phases of the analysis of English abstracts of research articles and Masters’ theses written by non-native English writers are limited. Three corpora of abstracts in the field of business were analyzed for their rhetorical moves by using Hyland’s (2000) model and metadiscourse markers in the moves by using Hyland’s (2005) metadiscourse taxonomy. Some striking similarities and differences were found among the three sets of data. Purpose, Method, and Product moves were found with different degrees of occurrences, while the Introduction and Conclusion moves occurred infrequently. The employment of interactive devices outnumbered the interactional devices. Transitions and self-mention were the most frequent markers in the international corpus, while frame markers and attitude markers were found extensively in the two Thai-based corpora. The findings of the analysis of the two related genres shed light on the genre variations which were derived from genre-specific features. This  can be ascribed to the dynamic nature of research articles as a professional genre and theses as an educational genre. Additionally, the study provides inexperienced non-native writers with a deeper understanding of the rhetorical structure and metadiscourse devices realized in research articles and theses.

Authors: Inpanich Pipittaporn
Published: November 2024

This study investigated whether the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) can promote Thai EFL public university students’ autonomous learning in a paragraph writing course. Thirty third-year students participated in this study, and they were from a public university in Bangkok, Thailand. They were asked to complete three writing assignments. Each assignment included the first draft and the final draft, and when they finished the first draft, they were required to use COCA to discover usage patterns and revise their work based on teacher feedback they received. The questionnaire was used to find out self-report data regarding the implementation of COCA on promoting students’ autonomous learning based on the process of autonomous learning by Knowles (1975). Additionally, the semi-structured interview was employed to investigate the students’ perceptions of COCA as a tool for promoting autonomous learning. The results from the questionnaire showed that COCA could be a material resource for learning writing. The semi-structured interview also revealed that the students’ perceptions of using COCA as a tool for promoting autonomous learning were positive because it can increase their confidence in their writing due to the use of authentic data. When they are confident of their writing skills, they are willing to continue practice writing through the use of COCA.

CRÍTICA AO MODELO MACROECONÔMICO BRASILEIRO A PARTIR DO PLANO REAL E POSSÍVEIS SOLUÇÕES
Authors: Lima Kauan Oliveira Cândido de
Published: November 2024

O Brasil adotou em 1999 como modelo de referência da gestão Macroeconômica o Novo Consenso Macroeconômico do final dos anos 1980, onde implementou o famoso Tripé Macroeconômico, e desde então políticos, policy makers e outras figuras aprofundam a política adotada seja pela promulgação de leis e reformas constitucionais, seja pelas convenções sociais criadas nessas mais de duas décadas que o modelo vigente seria o mais coreto para o país. Porém desde implementação do modelo e com todo aprofundamento que ele teve, ele não tem correspondido as expectativas, pelo contrário, apenas desencadeou um processo de desindustrialização e estagnação do crescimento econômico e do desenvolvimento nacional. Proponho um resgate da história econômica recente do Brasil e uma reflexão de como o país pode super o modelo que está vigente.

Authors: Olaogun Julius , Idowu David , Agodirin Olayide
Published: November 2024

Background
Patients’ adherence to treatment recommendations is in the form of a spectrum: complete adherence or total rejection of the offered standard treatments. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of breast cancer patients who refused standard treatments in order to engender a focused intervention.
Methods
This was a retrospective study of breast cancer patients from 2017-2022. Data generated were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0. The results were presented using descriptive statistics. Inferential statistics for subgroup analysis was by chi-square test or risk difference with confidence intervals
Results
Among 343 patients, 86 (25% (95% CI 21-30) did not initiate conventional oncologic treatment. All were females and their age range was 33–83 years (mean, 49.9±12.0 years). The majority of the women were married (73%), educated (79%), low-income earners (69%), rural dwellers (63%) with advanced disease (81%). None of the patients had government insurance. The mean duration of symptoms was 11.9±9.7 months. Among 71patients with vital information, 50 (70% (95%CI 58-71) were confirmed dead in the last 3 years. The probability of death within 3 years was 38% (95%CI 8.0-68%) and was higher among those diagnosed as late-stage disease.
Conclusions
A large number of patients still fail to accept conventional treatments after breast cancer diagnosis. Understanding the patients’ characteristics may be necessary to recognize situations where active education and support can help patients accept standard treatment thereby prolonging survival.

Privacy-Preserving Data Mining Techniques in Big Data: Balancing Security and Usability
Authors: Abdulbaqi Azmi Shawkat , Salman Adil M. , Tambe Sagar B.
Published: November 2024

The exponential growth of big data across industries presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly regarding the protection of sensitive information while maintaining data utility. The problem lies in balancing privacy preservation with the ability to extract meaningful insights from large datasets, which are often vulnerable to re-identification, breaches, and misuse. Current privacy-preserving data mining (PPDM) techniques, such as anonymization, differential privacy, and cryptographic methods, provide important solutions but introduce trade-offs in terms of data utility, computational performance, and compliance with privacy regulations. The objective of this study is to evaluate these PPDM methods, focusing on their effectiveness in safeguarding privacy while minimizing the impact on data accuracy and system performance. Additionally, the study seeks to assess the compliance of these methods with legal frameworks such as GDPR and HIPAA, which impose strict data protection requirements. By conducting an exhaustive analysis with regard to privacy-utility trade-offs, computation times, and communication complexities, this work attempts to outline the respective strengths and weaknesses of each method. Since these results can be elicited from the fact that indeed anonymization techniques contribute more to data utility by reducing the risk of re-identification, whereas differential privacy guarantees a high privacy at the cost of accuracy due to the introduction of noise in data through a privacy budget epsilon. Other cryptographic techniques, like homomorphic encryption and secure multiparty computation, are computationally expensive and hard to scale but offer strong security. In that respect, this work concludes that these techniques protect privacy with great efficiency; however, a number of privacy-data usability and performance trade-offs need to be performed. Future research should be focused on enhancing the scalability and efficiency of these methods toward fulfilling the needs of real-time big data analytics applications without loss of privacy.
Assessing the Vulnerability of Quantum Cryptography Systems to Emerging Cyber Threats
Authors: Burhanuddin M.A.
Published: November 2024

Using quantum mechanical thinking, quantum cryptography provides security that has never been possible in communications. Even when transferred or stored in quantum secure environments, sensitive data processed by systems including names, credit card information, and email addresses desperately needs privacy and security protection ban The problem is not only to protect quantum communication from themselves, but any private data that can be so transferred between these devices It is also to protect. This work addresses the issue of effectively anonymizing sensitive data in quantum cryptographic systems for encryption, especially in situations where data breach or interception is likely inside the mouth to solve this problem, Presidio, a sophisticated method for identifying sensitive and anonymous data, was used. We were able to anonymize these data items by applying this to text samples that contained personally identifiable information (PII), such as name, credit card number, and email address. The credit card number was changed to "ANONYMIZED_CREDIT_CARD", the email address was changed to "ANONYMIZED_EMAIL", and the name "John Doe" was changed to "ANONYMIZED_NAME" The results show that it is possible to efficiently anonymize private information without affecting communication integrity, adding additional security to quantum cryptographic systems. Our research concludes that Presidio provides a reliable means of protecting data privacy, reducing the likelihood of identity theft and data breaches. Although successful, this approach highlights the importance of sophisticated anonymization techniques in hybrid cryptography systems, and scaling issues but the findings of this study highlight the importance of anonymization technology will be integrated into systems that address sensitive transactions to strengthen security and compliance.

Published: November 2024

Exploring speech acts within the realm of language instruction has consistently been a captivating subject. Limited research has delved into the analysis of speech acts employed by English teachers for criticism during classroom interactions. This study primarily aims to identify the classifications of speech acts used most frequently by teachers in English for Academic Purpose (EAP) courses for criticism. Additionally, it examines the rationale behind selecting a particular type of speech act for criticism by EAP course instructors and assesses how this classification of speech acts may influence teaching strategies and student performance. The research employed classroom observations and interviews for data collection, utilizing purposive sampling to select five teachers and forty students from the English department's EAP 009 course. Observational guidelines and situational questionnaires served as research instruments. Qualitative thematic analysis and data coding were applied for data analysis. Classroom observations indicated that EAP teachers predominantly used directive criticism, with a comparatively low utilization of commissive criticism, aligning with the principles of communicative language teaching. Conversely, teacher interviews unveiled that, while direct criticism was prevalent, declarative criticism was also employed. This suggests a need for greater consistency in teachers' selection of specific criticisms, minimizing potential impacts on teaching strategies. The study recommends that EAP teachers diversify their criticism approaches based on student needs and contextual factors.

Peer observation is a useful tool for the professional growth of teachers as it enables two peers work together, observe each other’s teaching, share helpful suggestions, and engage in reflection on their instructional abilities. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of peer observation in tertiary education to foster teachers’ continuing professional development, formulate a framework for its implementation to improve teaching performance and seek possible solutions to some potential challenges regarding the implementation of the peer observation of teaching (POT) program in a Bangladeshi government college. Therefore, the researcher used a secondary data analysis method in which around 30 papers, including journal articles, conference proceedings, research reports, were studied, analyzed, and discussed. Moreover, two case studies in international contexts were reviewed elaborately. The result found that the implementation of peer observation of teaching program would enhance teachers’ professional development and consequently, the students’ success would be accelerated. After analyzing the documents, an implementation plan for POT in the researcher’s college was devised and some strategies were suggested to overcome the challenges that might arise during the process.

Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV) is a bipartite, emerging Begomovirus species, usually coupled with satellite molecules and affects tomato cultivation in entire Pakistan.  Present study was conducted to evaluate and analyze tomato germplasm against ToLCNDV using Chip graft inoculation assay (CGIA) as most accurate and reliable technique. Molecular studies were conducted for confirmation. According to PCR results, viral contamination was confirmed as ToLCNDV was recorded from all tested seedling samples. Further mechanical transmission confirmed that seedlings from ToLCNDV-infected seeds act as inoculum. Based on disease symptoms developed, plants were classified as tolerant, moderately tolerant, moderately susceptible, and susceptible. It is pertinent to mention that the magnitude of the virus impact particularly on hosts different from Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae, and seed transmission and ToLCNDV qualify as a potential candidate of Quarantine Pest.  Present work is novel study demonstrating ToLCNDV as a seed-transmissible virus in tomato plants from Rawalakot Azad Kashmir & this research further provides a fictitious starting point for plant pathologists suggesting practical implications regarding management approaches.
Fungal Antagonists Mode of Action

Published: November 2024

Fungal plant pathogens are the primary factors responsible for significant losses to agricultural products annually. The predominant method of controlling fungal diseases has been the use of fungicides; however, there is a global shift towards reducing their application. Biocontrol agents offer a viable alternative to chemical control for the eradication of fungal diseases. Throughout their life cycle, plants interact with diverse pathogens that impact their health through various mechanisms. Fungal biocontrol agents employ multiple modes of action, including antibiosis, competition for nutrients and space, and mycoparasitism, with the specific mechanism varying according to the pathogen-host combination. While competition for space and nutrients is the primary mode of action for fungi, bacteria often produce antibiotics. These mechanisms may act consecutively, making it challenging to identify the association with specific antifungal actions. This summary provides an overview of the modes of action of fungal antagonists.

A irrigação é uma técnica utilizada para suplementar as necessidades hídricas das plantas quando o volume precipitado não é suficiente para a cultura, consequentemente, a reposição de água no solo através da irrigação é essencial para alcançar produtividade máxima. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a produtividade do gergelim sob diferentes regimes hídricos no cerrado Mato-Grossense. O experimento foi realizado em campo de fevereiro a maio de 2024 na Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso, Nova Mutum - MT. O experimento foi realizado em lisímetros de drenagem, sendo: três com gergelim irrigado e três em regime de sequeiro, três com grama batatais e três com solo desnude. O manejo da irrigação foi efetivado diariamente através do balanço de entrada e saída de água do solo. Avaliaram-se as seguintes variáveis da cultivar de gergelim BRS Anahí: produtividade comercial, produtividade da água e produtividade econômica da água. A produtividade comercial do gergelim em regime de sequeiro foi de 1.051,9 Kg ha-1 enquanto que o cultivo de gergelim irrigado produziu 2.263,7 Kg ha-1. O uso da irrigação é relevante para atender as necessidades hídricas do gergelim e, consequentemente, possibilita maior desenvolvimento das plantas e produção de sementes. Os resultados deste estudo destaca a importância da irrigação para alcançar produtividade máxima e servem como referência para os produtores de gergelim da região do cerrado Mato-Grossense.
