Authors: Sharaai Amir Hamzah , Mohd Shah Norshahira , Zulkipli Liyana
Published: November 2020

Environmental education is important as environmental issues addressed are caused by lack of attitude, awareness and knowledge on environment. It teaches people to explore all the problems related to the environment and engage in wise ways to preserve it. The environmental knowledge needs to be disseminated among society members and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) concept is one of the core elements. LCA helps people to understand the potential environmental impact of product consumption in daily activities. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of using board game and infographic in delivering the LCA concept among lower secondary students. The students are required to take several quizzes to evaluate their understanding on LCA based on the treatment given. This study is conducted using the Solomon four-group design to achieve the research objectives; (1) identifying significant difference between pre and post-test of the two methods, and (2) identifying significant difference between the two methods itself in helping the students to learn LCA. The statistical analysis reported that there is a significant difference in levels of LCA knowledge among students before and after they were exposed to LCA (t= 3.806, df= 39, p < .05). However, there were no significant differences on levels of LCA knowledge between the board game and infographic method (t= 1.593, df= 38, p > .05). The structure of the board game and infographic provides necessary component to develop the foundation of LCA knowledge for students while they enjoy the game

Published: November 2020

Two benzoyl phenylthiourea derivatives namely: 1-benzoyl-3-(4-bromophenyl)-2- thiourea (M) and 1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-3-(4-methylphenyl)-2-thiourea (MI) were successfully synthesized and characterized by using Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen (CHN) micro elemental analysis, Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy methods. Elemental analysis for M (C14H11N2SOBr) and MI (C15H13N2SOCl) were compatible with the expected theoretical calculation. The FTIR spectrum obtained for M and MI compounds show the presence of four important functional groups; ʋ(N-H), ʋ(C=O), ʋ(C-N) and ʋ(C=S) that appeared at 3380-3367 cm-1, 1666-1681 cm-1, 1342-1268 cm-1 and 1146-1152 cm-1, respectively. The NMR spectrum data for MI shows the chemical shift at 6.63-7.85 ppm for Ar-H group, 2.26-2.40 ppm for methyl group, 7.44 ppm for N1H and 3.09 ppm for N2H. For the application, M and MI were used as probes in detecting Cd2+ in methanol solution. UV-Visible spectrophotometer was used to analyze the absorbance values of the compound before and after Cd2+ was added. It is found that compound M displayed the behavior of ‘turn off’ sensors while compound MI possessed the behavior of ‘turn on’ when detecting 0.5×10-5 M and 1×10- 5 M of Cd2+ ion. The behavior of ‘turn on’ and ‘turn off’ is due to the increasing or decreasing of absorbance when Cd2+ was added to the compounds.

Authors: Magni P , Zwerver M , Dadour IR
Published: November 2020

Insect succession has been studied around the world using the predictable and mostly sequential arrival pattern of different insect species that are attracted to a decomposing carcass. In cases of suspicious death of humans and animals, carrion insects may be used to assist in crime scene reconstruction. The present research represents the first study in forensic entomology to be undertaken in Tasmania, investigating insect succession patterns on decomposing pig carcasses and providing a preliminary database of forensically important insects. Six pig carcasses were placed in two contrasting locations (rural and urban) in northern Tasmania. Insect successional waves were recorded over a 40-day study during the austral summer season. Results showed that decomposition rates and insect assemblages varied between each location. Eleven insect taxa, representing nine families, were identified in association with the decomposition of the pig carcasses at both localities. Blowflies present on the pig carcasses throughout the decomposition process were Calliphora stygia Malloch (Diptera: Calliphoridae) at both sites and Lucilia sericata (Meigen) at the urban site only. These preliminary results will provide useful information in any future casework involving human remains and associated insect material in Tasmania.

Authors: Cho Jeahoon , Park Min-Seok , Jung Kyung-Young
Published: November 2020

In this work, we propose a stable perfectly matched layer (PML) for accurate finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods for analyzing electromagnetic wave propagation in the anisotropic magnetized plasma region. Toward this purpose, we apply the complex frequency-shifted PML systematically to the E-J collocated FDTD method. In specific, auxiliary PML variables are included in the matrix calculation involved in the final update equations of the E-J collocated FDTD method. Numerical examples are used to validate the proposed PML-FDTD for anisotropic magnetized plasma.

Authors: Mospan Natalia , Slipchuk Valentina
Published: November 2020

The present study explores current state of play of international medical student population in Ukraine. Their number in national medical universities has been constantly rising since 2006. Ukraine is a country of international medical students’ destination for higher medical or pharmaceutical education. Ukraine is not only one of the biggest suppliers of international students to the European Union in European Higher Education Area, but it is also a host country for international students primarily from Asia and Africa. The survey aimed at studying international medical students’ current needs and perspectives was conducted at Bogomolets National Medical University in 2019. The university is chosen as it is situated in the capital city. Sample was composed of 60 first-year international medical students, chosen at a random. It allowed students to provide feedback on their country of origin, educational background, preferences, satisfaction in quality of educational service in a host country, ways of financing the study and future career plans. Among the reasons of international students’ choice of Ukraine as a place for study are their preference of the country, high quality education, friends’ advice and geographical location. The research results show that international medical students consider Ukraine not only as high quality medical education provider but as perspective country for postgraduate employment. The research results allow us to hypothesise that the current needs and perspectives of international medical students at one medical university are likely to be typical for other national medical universities and for Ukraine in whole. It is concluded, that increasing international students’ population requires regular monitoring and special researches by universities and government. These measures will make benefits in international university strategy and national educational policy coordination

Sosyal medya, katılımcı kültür ve kitle çevirisi
Authors: KOÇ Nur Emine
Published: November 2020

Sosyal Medya günümüzde sadece bir kitle iletişim aracı olarak yaygın kullanılmakla kalmayıp, küreselleşmenin önemli bir unsuru, bir güç temsili olarak da karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Sosyal paylaşım ağlarının gücü, hem bireysel, hem kültürel hem de toplumsal etkileşimi sağlayarak; ekonomiye, siyasete, kültürel ve gündelik hayata gündem oluşturacak bir güç kaynağı olmaktadır. Enformasyonun dağılımının ve bilginin görsele dökülmesinin en kolay ve hızlı bir yaygınlaştırma aracı olarak da tanımlanabilen sosyal medya, katılımcı kültür oluşturmada kullanılan en önemli unsurlardan biridir. Katılımcı kültür, üre-tüketici (üretici-tüketici )konumundaki kullanıcıların içerik üretmede en uç noktaya ulaştığı, kolay ve hızlı içerik üretebildiği ve tüketebildiği bir topluluktur. Önceleri boş zamanı değerlendirme olarak düşünülen sosyal medya, günümüzde özellikle pandemi döneminde hayatlarımızın odak noktasına oturmuş, zaman ve mekân kavramlarından muaf olduğundan, gündelik hayatlarımızı idame ettirmede odak noktası haline gelmiştir. Henry Jenkins’e göre sosyal medyanın en önemli özelliği yayılabilir olmasıdır. Yayılabilir olmasını sağlayan da üre-tüketicilerdir. İçeriklerin yayılmasında etkin rol alan üre-tüketiciler hem katılımcı kültürün bir parçası, hem de tüketimin birer metası haline gelmektedirler. 21. Yüzyıl, tüketim toplumu olarak da adlandırılabilir. Bu nedenle sosyal medyanın dili çok önemlidir. Kullanılan üslup, seçilen kelimeler katılımcı kültürün toplumsal ve küresel öğelerini oluşturur. Bu araştırmanın amacı Web 2.0 tabanlı sosyal medya platformlarında kullanılan evrensel dil ve kültürel kimliklerin çeviri bağlamında araştırılması, sosyal medya içeriklerinin katılımcı kültüre hizmet ve kitle çevirisinin fonksiyonelliği ve evrenselliği ve bunun tüketim toplumuna katkısının incelenmesidir. Araştırma, Twitter, Google, Facebook ve Wikipedia'da oluşturulan popüler içeriklerin analizi, buna bağlı olarak kitle çevirisi, etkisi ve sosyal medya fenomenleri örnekleriyle ve sosyal medyada kitle çevirisi kullanıcılarına tüketim kültürü bağlamındaki etkisi anket tekniği kullanılarak araştırılmıştır.
Anna Sewell’in “Black Beauty” adlı eserinin iki çevirisinin eserde geçen isimler bağlamında incelenmesi
Authors: ÇETİNER Caner
Published: November 2020

Yazın çevirisi, gerek kaynak metnin içinde barındırdığı kültüre özgü motiflerin çeşitliliği gerekse bu kültüre özgü motiflere hedef metinde uygun olabilecek karşılıkların bulunabilmesi açısından çevirmen için bir dizi zorluk barındırmaktadır. Çevirmen kimi zaman bu kültüre özgü öğeleri ya da özel adları erek kültüre yabancı olarak çevirmekte, kimi zaman ise bunları erek kültüre uygun hale getirmektedir. Ancak bu karar bazen sadece çevirmenin elinde olmayıp eserin çevrildiği dönemin toplumsal arka planına da bağlı olabilmektedir. Bu yüzden bazı eserler zaman içerisinde toplumsal değişim, insanların beklentileri, edebi bakış açısının değişmesi gibi çeşitli nedenlerden dolayı yeniden çevrilmiştir. Bu yeniden çeviriler ile ilk çeviriler karşılaştırıldığında çevirmenlerin kararlarında farklılıklar olduğu göze çarpmaktadır. Yeniden çeviri hipotezi yeniden çevirilerin ilk çevirilere göre daha kaynak kültür odaklı olduğunu öne sürmektedir (Desmidt, 2009). Ancak çocuk yazını gibi merkezde sayılmayan türler bu hipotezin dışında kalabilmektedir. Yazın çevirisinde çevirmenin karşılaştığı kaynak kültüre özgü ögeleri okur, çevirmenin süzgecinden geçmiş olarak ikinci bir gözle görmektedir. Dolayısıyla çevirmenin bu kaynak metindeki ögeler üzerinde bilinçli ya da bilinçsiz olarak uyguladığı farklı çeviri stratejileri okura da yansır. Bu anlamda bu çalışmada Anna Sewell tarafından yazılan ve Türkçede çocuk edebiyatı kapsamında yer edinen “Black Beauty” adlı eserin iki farklı çevirisi üzerinde durulacaktır. Kitapta geçen belirli özel isimlere hedef metinde bulunan karşılıklar, çevirmenlerin uyguladığı “yerlileştirme” ve “yabancılaştırma” stratejileri kapsamında incelenmiştir.
Implicit signs in character names in children’s literature and their (in)transmissibility in translation
Authors: YANYA Sema Dilara
Published: November 2020

Character names in children’s literature can be seen as quite innocent at first glance. However, they can affect readers’ interpretation of a text based on their connotations. A semiotic analysis of the meanings of character names and the implicit signs they may comprise may provide a deeper understanding of the text. Accordingly, how these names are translated into a target language is equally important. A semiotic analysis of a text may have a significant effect on one’s interpretation. It is essential to take into account any probable meaning transformations, especially if the text is to be translated. In this study, character names in Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, their connection to the character traits representing the seven deadly sins, and their Turkish translations are analyzed. Due to lingual constraints, implicit meanings of the names in the source text are not transferable. For this reason, while the ideal readers of the source text can understand the implications of the names, some of the readers of the target text are unable to do so, which results in insufficient meaning. Even so, readers may understand the character traits that can be attributed to the seven deadly sins based on descriptions in the text. The analysis follows some of the operations of analysis compiled by Sündüz Öztürk Kasar (Kasar, 2009, pp. 166-172) for translation-oriented semiotic analysis purposes from the studies of Paris School of Semiotics. Moreover, Jan Van Coillie’s classification of ten strategies concerning the translation of character names in children’s literature (Coillie, 2014, pp. 125-129) is also used in this study to specify the translator’s decisions and their consequences. In these ways, this study examines the importance of the translation of names for readers’ perception and reception of the text.
Do Online Readerships Offer Useful Assessment Tools? Discussion Around the Practical Applications of Mendeley Readership for Scholarly Assessment
Authors: Zahedi Zohreh , Costas Rodrigo
Published: November 2020

This methods report illustrates the relevance of Mendeley readership as a tool for research assessment. Readership indicators offer new possibilities to inform the evaluation of publications and outputs either poorly covered in citation indexes (e.g. non-English language outputs, Global South publications, Social sciences and humanities), or typically excluded from citation analysis (e.g. letters, editorial material, etc.). Mendeley readership can also inform the earlier impact of scientific outputs, as well as the impact among wider non-academic audiences. All these features are discussed in this report and the relevance of readership indicators to extend the concept of research impact beyond specific acts (e.g. citations) is highlighted. Best practical recommendations on how Mendeley readership can be used for assessment purposes are discussed.Policy highlights:This paper illustrates practical possibilities of readership indicators for research evaluation.Readership indicators inform impact of publications poorly covered in bibliometrics databases or excluded from citation analysis.Readership indicators inform early impact and non-academic impact of publications.Readership indicators can be used to inform, support, and complement (citation-based impact) decisions on research evaluation exercises.

Es evidente que el proceso educativo ha sufrido un cambio significativo debido a la incursión de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC); Tecnología del Aprendizaje Cooperativo (TAC), razón por la cual este trabajo investigativo está enfocado al uso, sus ventajas y desventajas. La importancia que tienen la implementación de las TIC desde edades tempranas para lograr a futuro un TAC y Tecnologías del Empoderamiento y la Participación (TEP), como un reto en la educación, con trabajo colaborativo, cooperativo, entre otras, y obtener un aprendizaje significativo con estudiantes inventores, creativos-reflexivos lo que hace falta para esta sociedad. Además, el rol del maestro y del estudiante cambia al usar correctamente las Tic y redes sociales como herramientas manejadas por todos, modificando de esta manera la educación tradicional a una educación interactiva a través de WhatsApp involucrando a los padres o representes legales al triángulo educativo   dentro de este proceso. Por otro lado, se analiza las brechas existentes que limitan al uso de las TIC en una institución, siendo internas y externas. El docente del siglo XXI es pieza clave para cambiar la educación en tiempos de emergencia como lo estamos viviendo y desarrollar el pensamiento crítico desde edades tempranas.

Authors: Campos Medina María Auxiliadora
Published: November 2020

Las universidades, como entes propulsores de desarrollo social y conocimiento requieren de una gerencia que en la praxis propicien una comunicación más efectiva a través del manejo de la inteligencia social. La presente investigación persigue la construcción teórica respecto al manejo de la inteligencia social como medio en la comunicación de la gerencia en la Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado (UCLA) y la Universidad Nacional Abierta (UNA) dentro de un contexto ontológico complejo. La perspectiva metodológica usada fue el interpretativismo. Se direccionó por el método fenomenológico-hermenéutico. Se utilizó la técnica de entrevista a profundidad a los rectores de estas dos universidades venezolanas, como a grupos focales conformados por seis decanos. El tratamiento de la información fue sometido a un proceso de análisis para el establecimiento de las categorías, sus dimensiones y la triangulación. Esto permitió comprender la gestión de la inteligencia social en la comunicación en las universidades. Se concluye que estos gerentes han ejecutado efectivamente su rol desde el punto de vista tradicional, sin embargo, mostraron apertura a un nuevo proceso comunicacional. Deben afinar las destrezas de la inteligencia emocional. Este estudio condujo a la construcción del referente teórico sobre inteligencia social en la comunicación para la gerencia universitaria, el cual llamaremos INAPAP.
Numerical Analysis of Spreading Process of Ellipsoidal Spraying Droplet Impacting on Superhydrophobic Surface

Published: November 2020

Agricultural spray deposition is especially important for pesticide application because low efficiency can lead to environmental pollution, poor biological efficiency and economic loss. The deposition of pesticide spray on the leave surfaces is related to the impact kinetic behavior of droplets. But after considering the deformation of the droplet, how impingement will affect the deposition is an interesting research. In this study, a superhydrophobic surface was used to replace the plant surface that the pesticide droplets may affect. An interface tracking method was proposed to characterize the impingement dynamics behaviors of different ellipsoid droplets impacting on the surface. The maximum spreading coefficient and time of ellipsoidal droplets increased with the raise of their size. A lower sized droplet has a faster spreading rate, while the center of a higher sized droplet is thinner. As the velocity of pesticide increases, maximum spreading coefficient of droplet increases with a decrease in the maximum spreading time of droplet. The simulation results can contribute to provide theoretical basis for improving spray efficiency.

Published: November 2020

social adaption, long-term relationships, and the development of cognition, emotion and personality in unique and important ways. Children with hearing impairment often have some degree of language and/or speech delay, which is a major factor affecting their social interaction with peers. The present research was aimed at the study of classroom social behavior of hearing impaired children at primary level. The research was descriptive and direct observation method was used to identify the positive and negative social behavior of hearing impaired children exhibited in the classroom and at playground. 50 hearing impaired children including male and female studying in classes I to V of special education centers for children with hearing impairment at Islamabad were selected randomly. A checklist was used to identify the social behavior. The items were developed on the indicators of classroom social behavior of hearing impaired children such as respect of elders, sharing, rebel, aggressive behavior, cooperation, fighting, calm and quiet, follow the instructions, teasing others, and friendly etc.On the basis of research findings it was concluded that most of hearing impaired children respect their elders, remain calm and quite during lesson, do not share their things with other students, do not rebel during lesson. Most of them cooperate with others during group activities, stay away from fighting during group activities, and follow the rules in playing group games. Some of them get angry when other students distract them from their studies, do not tease their friends. The male children immediately become frustrated when they can’t solve a problem and become aggressive (violent) when something goes against their will.It was recommended that creating awareness of classroom social behavior in hearing impaired children can change their behavior positively. Moreover, hearing impaired children should be motivated and encouraged to move in a positive social life.

Published: November 2020

The focus of this study was to examine the preparation of teachers, challenges in classroom and future prospects of inclusive education system in Pakistan. The major research questions of the study were: What is the attitude of teachers working in inclusive schools towards inclusive education? What is the preparation level of teachers working in the inclusive schools? What are the challenges faced by the teachers in these schools along with the future prospects of inclusive education system in Pakistan. It was a descriptive study and the researcher used semi-structured interview and accessibility checklist to collect qualitative and quantitative data to answer the research questions. The validated instruments were administered to six principals and twelve teachers working in inclusive schools. The study revealed that the teachers working in the inclusive education schools have not got proper training to work with the students having special needs. Moreover the accessibility of school infrastructure does not address the needs of all student. Curriculum, equipments, teaching learning aids and assessment methods also need to be readjusted. Principals and teachers have mixed opinions (positive as well as negative) about the success of inclusive education system in mainstream schools. They suggested that government may invest more financial and technical resources to train teachers and provide technological equipments if they want to integrate students with special into regular classrooms.
