Exploring Student-directed Translanguaging in the English-centric Classroom
Authors: Öztürk Saadet Apa , Çubukçu Feryal
Published: November 2022

Translanguaging has been suggested as a pedagogical practice for bilingual students in which they use two languages alternately in the classroom (Williams, 1996) and it contributes to students' language learning with the use of two languages to make meaning (Baker, 2011). The main goal of this study is to investigate preparatory class students' attitudes towards translanguaging and their translanguaging practices. To do this, a mixed-method research design was selected and applied to 28 preparatory class B1 level students chosen through the nonrandom sampling method. The quantitative data were collected from students through a questionnaire asking about students’ attitudes towards English-only policy, students’ translanguaging attitudes, and practices. Besides, to collect the qualitative data, online reading classes were observed for eight weeks. Moreover, focus group interviews with 4 lower and 4 higher achieving students were conducted in order to get a deeper understanding of students’ perceptions of translanguaging. The findings gathered from the questionnaire revealed that preparatory class students have positive attitudes towards translanguaging. In addition, the qualitative findings obtained from online reading class observation indicated that students most frequently use translanguaging practices to express their initial evaluations of the text, mention their comprehension, paraphrase, ask for help, show their critical thinking skills, discuss a topic about the related text, put forward their predictions about the content. Furthermore, the findings of focus group interviews showed that both low and high achievers have negative perceptions of translanguaging. To encourage students in the use of translanguaging in a foreign language learning class, students' positive attitudes should be supported, their negative perceptions should not be underestimated and negative perceptions of translanguaging should be tried to be changed into positive ones so that students can benefit from translanguaging.

Authors: Karacan Cemil Gökhan , Solhi Mehdi
Published: November 2022

The current study sought to investigate Turkish pre-service English language (EL) teachers’ virtual teaching dispositions (i.e., social, pedagogical, expert/cognitive, and virtual/technical presences) and the extent they are related to gender, age, and teaching status variables. The participants were 84 pre-service EL teachers drawn from a Turkish university, and data were collected through Welch and Napoleon’s (2014) virtual teaching disposition scale (VTDS). The results indicated a significant difference between the scores of male and female pre-service EL teachers in both social and virtual/technical presences. However, the participants did not exhibit a significant difference between pedagogical and expert/cognitive presences. Consequently, a one-way ANOVA was run to explore the role of the age variable on the participants’ virtual teaching disposition, with the results revealing a significant difference for only the pedagogical presence and expert/cognitive presence among the participants, whose ages ranged from 18 to 20, those aged 20-23, and those over the age of 24. Finally, the results revealed a significant difference between the scores in the expert/cognitive presence of the participants who teach English and those who do not. However, no significant difference was identified between the mean scores of the two groups in social presence, virtual/technical presence, or expert/cognitive presence.
Kontingenz als Herausforderung für einen Traditionsbegriff politischer Bildungsarbeit. Eine Kritik der Solidarität
Authors: Schlögl Peter
Published: November 2022

Kants Vorstellung, dass auch moralisches Handeln unter dem Primat der Vernünftigkeit steht, wird in aktuellen Debatten um solidarisches Denken und Handeln bestritten. Wie in einer von Kontingenz geprägten Welt Grenzen hin zu globalen Solidargemeinschaften verschoben werden können, wird anhand der sprachphilosophisch informierten pragmatistischen Position Richard Rortys argumentiert. Diese unterscheidet sich sowohl begründungssystematisch als auch durch den Verzicht auf menschlich Allgemeines von einer rationalistischen Deutung von Aufklärung, in deren Tradition Eble argumentiert.

Authors: Müller Simone
Published: November 2022

Diese Replik nimmt den Faden dort auf, wo Lukas Ebles Beitrag endet: bei Solidarität in der Wissenschaft. Wie ist Solidarität im theoretischen Zugriff auf den Begriff denkbar und inwiefern ist das solidarische Wir, dessen Zusammensetzung und Formierung eine epistemologische Frage? Diese Diskussionen eröffnen eine erkenntnis- und wissenschaftspolitische Perspektive, die kritisch-theoretisch positioniert Möglichkeiten erkundet, das solidarische Wir in der Wissenschaft hervorzubringen.
Transsektionalität als Fluchtlinie der Historiographie – James Weldon Johnsons „Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man“
Authors: Klein Björn , Krämer Felix
Published: November 2022

Der transsektionale Ansatz ergänzt das Konzept der Intersektionalität um eine historiographische Perspektive. Der Ausgangspunkt von Transsektionalität ist, dass es vielfältige historische Relationalitäten von Diskursen und Einschreibepraktiken gibt, deren Bewegungen sich in ihrer körperpolitischen Bedeutung verfolgen lassen. Das zeigt der Artikel exemplarisch anhand der 1912 anonym veröffentlichten fiktionalen „Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man“ vom Schriftsteller, Musiker und Bürgerrechtsaktivisten James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938). Darin bewegt er sich in Räumen, die zwischen den Grenzen des rassistischen Segregationsregimes liegen, zwischen Privilegien des Weißseins und transgender yearnings (Snorton 2012). Über die Quelle lassen sich transsektionale Fluchtlinien nachvollziehen, die sich aus der Intersektion von race, class und gender ergeben, sich aber unter Bezugnahme auf das Konzept des tracing (Mommertz 2015) historisch zwischen den Zeilen lesen lassen. In Johnsons Autobiography spiegelt sich nicht nur das Zeitraumregime der Segregation, sondern eine Körpergeschichte, die dieses Raumregime durchschreitet und es dabei wiederum transformiert.

Authors: Shaikh Seerat , Kazmi Umm E Rubab
Published: November 2022

Objectives: The study aims to explore the relation among Quality of life (QoL), resilience and depression among adolescents with and without asthma.

Method: Cross-sectional research design was used. Purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from 200 adolescents (with asthma= 100, without asthma= 100) from government and private hospitals and schools. Children and Youth Resilience Measure Scale CYRM was translated into Urdu language. Available urdu translated versions of Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale KADS (Khan, 2014) and World Health Organization Quality of Life- BREF Scale WHOQOL- BRIEF (Khalid & Kausar, 2008) were administered on participants along with CYRM and demographic sheet. Descriptive statistics, t-test and correlation were used for statistical analysis.

Results: Findings reveal that there is a negative correlation between resilience and depression (r=-.61⃰ ⃰). There is significant positive relation between resilience and health related quality of life (r=.80⃰ ⃰). Also there are significant mean differences between adolescents with and without asthma regarding all study variables. Gender differences were also found regarding resilience and QoL in adolescents with asthma but no significant gender differences found on depression.

Conclusion: This study explores the differences between two groups (adolescents with and without asthma) on QoL, resilience and depression. This study will be helpful for school counselors to devise self esteem building and resilience training programs for the well being of students.

Dyslexia biomarker detection with QEEG data in children: Feasibility, Acceptability, Economic impact, Pilot Study and Survey Results
Authors: Eroglu Gunet , Köprülü Mertali , Karabacak Berdan
Published: November 2022

Dyslexia awareness is not high in societies. Although 10% of the population is thought to be dyslexic in every society, only 0.05 % of the population gets a formal diagnosis in Turkey. The financial situation of families of children with dyslexia is not enough to get an early diagnosis and investigate intensive rehabilitation opportunities. Mobile apps have been used to diagnose health conditions in recent years. Worldwide solutions for dyslexia do not exist as the solutions were language-dependent. We need an easily reachable, affordable, language-independent, and worldwide acceptable biomarker detection app for dyslexia at schools because it potentially helps to prevent severe consequences through an early diagnosis that helps provide early intervention. No other research assessed the feasibility and acceptability of using this mobile app to detect dyslexia at home or school. Here we present a dyslexia biomarker detection app based on Z-scored QEEG data that can be used at home or school and has accomplished a high accuracy rate in diagnosing dyslexia. The mobile app can be used at home by parents or teachers at school. We have collected data from 207 children (96 of them have dyslexia, 111 of them are typically developing) between 7-10 years old for 40 sessions on average. The data consists of the eyes-open resting state 2-minute QEEG data from 14-channels. Using the ANN machine learning method, children with dyslexia/ typically developing children (TDC) classification has been done with a high accuracy rate (98.8%). ANN yields the highest accuracy results with standardized QEEG data in the literature. A survey is created to assess the dyslexia biomarker detection app’s feasibility, acceptability, and economic impact. The results have shown that the biomarker detection app is found feasible and acceptable by families, however, it is found expensive to use at home as it includes the costly EEG headset. So, in order for this biomarker detection method to be used extensively at home, EEG headset prices should become more affordable or this dyslexia biomarker detection method can be used at schools.
14-channel neurofeedback with Auto Train Brain improves the left lateralization of the brain in dyslexia: A pilot study
Authors: Eroglu Gunet
Published: November 2022

Auto Train Brain is a neurofeedback-based mobile application that increases reading comprehension and reading speed in dyslexia with EMOTIV EPOC-X which has 14 channels. The clinical trials have been completed on dyslexia beforehand. The left hemisphere-related deficits are known in dyslexia. In this research, we have investigated the positive long-term effects of Auto Train Brain to improve the variance of gamma band sample entropy across neurofeedback sessions. The previous research indicates that the increase in the variance of the gamma band entropy across neurofeedback sessions shows increased adaptations in the functional networks. 14-channel neurofeedback with Auto Train Brain increases the variance of gamma band entropy in the left temporal lobe (T7) over the right temporal lobe (T8) which may be translated as the adaptations of the functional networks in the left temporal region are increased after 100 sessions of neurofeedback in terms of electrophysiology.
Centripetal versus Centrifugal Trends in Social and Cultural Psychiatry: A Conceptual Analysis
Authors: Di Nicola Vincenzo
Published: November 2022

Background:
Drawing on the history of social psychiatry (SP) and cultural psychiatry (CP), the author offers a way to discern the distinguishing features and identity of each branch of psychiatry.

Issues:
Are the histories and current practices of CP and SP mutually compatible and enriching or are they hiving off into separate domains?

Proposition:
A schema will be presented for differentiating underlying assumptions and core features of these two allied but increasingly differentiated fields of psychiatry. Key domains include: _core arguments/dynamics_ (CP’s critiques of Western psychiatry lead to negation of its claim to universality; SP’s documentation of social determinants of health (SDH/MH) affords the affirmation of SDH/MH across societies and over time); _foci_ (CP addresses race and ethnicity; SP investigates class and social structure); _allied fields_ (CP – medical anthropology; SP – medical sociology, epidemiology & public health); _metaphors_ (CP – “prism”/refracting; SP – “creolization”/blending); _values_ (CP - diversity/equity; SP - solidarity/commonality); _research _(CP - ethnographies, CFI; SP - epidemiology, SDH/MH); _allied professional movements/outgrowths_ (CP - Global Mental Health; SP - community psychiatry); _allied populist movements_ (CP - Black Lives Matter; SP – “Gilets jaunes”); and, _critiques_ (CP/GMH - eg, China Mills; SP – “southern epistemologies,” the Global South). 

Outcomes:
Cumulative results of the two allied traditions, sometimes practiced by the same/overlapping research teams, are discussed under the rubric “centripetal” (convergent, unifying, integrating) versus “centrifugal” (divergent, separating, dispersing) impacts. 

Implications:
The disparate methods and results of CP/SP reflect diverse foundational discourses of these increasingly differentiated fields. CP has morphed into a study of Dostoyevsky’s “the insulted and the injured” imbued with a liberal, progressive ideology, culminating in identity politics. Meanwhile, social class, the signal critical tool of everything social, from sociology to socialism and SP, is being supplanted by a focus on culture. The author will invite debate on what this means for the future of CP & SP and whether a synthesis is still possible.

Published: November 2022

Mucins secreted by mucus-producing cells are glycoproteins with many important functions such as antimi crobial effect, lubricity and physical barrier. The structure and function of mucins may be different in various tissues. Therefore, we designed our study to reveal the current state of mucin chemistry in the glands located in the partridge's esophagus. The esophagus of total 10 adult partridges, five female and five male, whose carcasses were slaughtered in a private breeding farm were used. The extracted esophageal tissues were fixed in 10% formol-alcohol. Tissues were blocked following routine histologicalprocedures, and histological and histochemical staining techniques were applied to 5 μm thick sections from the blocks. While distinguishing the cervical and thoracic parts of the esophagus, it was observed that the glands were localized in the lamina propria and had the characteristics of simple alveolar glands or simple branched alveolar glands containing two or three secretory units. It was also determined that esophageal glands contain neutral, acidic (COOH and sulfate groups) and N-acetylsialomucins. Thus, it was concluded that the histological structure of the esophagus and the histochemical properties of mucins were relatively similar to other poul- try species.

Published: November 2022

The die drawing process is used as a final drawing operation, especially in the production of precise tubes of smaller diameter, while the advantage of the mentioned technology is a reduction of the drawing force and thereby also the decrease of the risk of possible tube rupture during the drawing process. The paper is focused on the research of the influence of the strain size and the method drawing process on the final thickness of the wall and the outer diameter of the tube during die drawing. The sinking drawing experiment was performed by single-pass and two-pass drawing technology to the final tube diameter Ø12 mm without inter-operational annealing. The output of the paper are bar graphs that allows to compare the influence of the strain size and the method of tube drawing technology (single-pass and two-pass) on the dimensional accuracy of the final Ø12 mm tubes made of E235 and E355 steel. The advantage of the single-pass drawing technology when achieving the required wall thickness within the prescribed tolerance (±10 %) would be a reduction of the number of draws.It was found that only in one case of the two-pass drawing technology of E355 steel tube production, the permitted positive tolerance of the tube wall thickness was slightly exceeded, in the case of increasing the reduction (size strain R) from 24 % to 32 %.

The rapid development of technology has resulted in significant changes to the loan process, whichhas certainly made it easier for people who need to take loans so that they no longer need to go to banks or other financial service institutions. However,online loans can also cause problems if they are not well understood.In order to understand Peer to Peer Lending (onlineloans) in Indonesia,we need to refer to Financial Services Authority Regulation No.11/POJK.In this regulation, peer to peer lending (online loans) is defined as an act of providinglending and borrowing services directly between lenders and information technology-based loan recipients.As of August 14th, 2020, there are 157 fintech companies already registered and licensed in the Financial Services Authority (OJK). OJK urges the public to use registered and licensed fintech lending services. To increase public awareness and knowledge in peer to peer lending (online loans), we conducted a socialization in the form of counseling to peoplein Sunggal Village, Medan Sunggal. The method used in this socialization is a focus discussion, starting with a lecture session then continued with a Q&A session among participants. The lecture session was conducted in order to deliver important learning materials for the participant to know and understand. Meanwhile, the Q&A session was conducted in order to complete unclear material and help to solve the problems related to Online Peer to Peer Lending. After participating in this socialization, the public can identify trusted online loan providers, which are providers registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK). This means people can be spared from untrusted online loan providers and can report them to OJK when they found unregistered providers with bad intentions.

Published: November 2022

The choice of the location of Naga Sopa Village as a place of service cannot be separated from the sustainability of the activities that have been held by the University of North Sumatra in the field of Student Community Service in the area of Simalungun Regency before. Based on the information that has been inventoried, this village has 4 main problems, such as: 1) tourism managers do not have the expertise and skills in making tourism activities; 2) Weak tourism awareness from both sides, both from tourism managers and tourists; 3) The community is still weak in the management of tourist destinations, even tourists do not know that this tourist location is a legacy of Dutch colonialism; 4) The low flow of tourist visits to these locations has an impact on the low public interest in managing these tourist attractions. Through this educational tour, non-formal education about knowledge can be applied to tour managers and tourists visiting a tourist attraction. Educational tours can increase and strengthen Tourism awareness groups to support the governance of the attraction of Swembat baths as a tourist icon. Tourism promotion media through tourism film training for the Swembat Naga Sopa tourism committee, Bandar Huluan District, is also needed to increase tourist visits to Swembat after the service is carried out so that the impact of service can be applied. This technically helps them to compete in the tourism sector.

Goat fattening business is a line of business that has good prospects in the future. The need for goat meat that continues to increase from year to year is not matched by the growth of good livestock centers. Naga Jaya I Village is one of many villages where many people develop goat farming businesses. Some of the reasons people develop this business are the seed capital which is not too expensive compared to cattle or buffalo and the relatively short cycle of breeding (n < 1 year). In the midst of a fairly good business prospect, service partners in this activity still have classic obstacles in business development. The problems faced are capital, availability of technology for animal feed processing, small business management and management of the cage environment. Based on the problems faced by service partners, this activity is planned to be carried out with the aim of overcoming technological and management obstacles. The service team will provide solutions to these two problems by providing grass chopper/animal feed machines and increasing partner knowledge about the management of the enclosure environment through outreach activities. At the end of the activity, it is hoped that the productivity of partners will increase which is reflected in changes in feeding methods and environmental management behavior.
