Published: May 2023

The place identity needs to be resurfaced visual-architecturally through place-making and community engagement. From participatory identification of tangible and intangible cultural assets, cultural mapping can increase awareness of cultural assets and a sense of belonging, facilitate network development and collaboration, and prepare village development programs according to local potential. This study aims to compile the potential and resources of Kampung Baran in a participatory manner, and then present it as significant cultural character data in shaping the identity of the place. The research was conducted qualitatively through asset mapping and community identity mapping. Asset mapping is related to the physical resources, while community identity mapping identifies intangible resources. Physical data recording is done through field observation. The on-site data mapping is triangulated through focus group discussions and in-community conversation to identify the intangible resources. Furthermore, the data were categorised, and the relations were analysed to compile the cultural mapping. The results showed that the unity between architectural elements (recontextualization of Omah Gejug), communal space according to the taneyan pattern of Kampung Baran, typical plants, local culinary, traditional arts and language, as well as socio-cultural systems and structures can be visualized to support the revitalization of place identity.

Using natural language processing to analyze elementary teachers’ mathematical pedagogical content knowledge in online community of practice
Authors: Yoo Jiseung , Kim Min Kyeong
Published: May 2023

This study focuses on how teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of mathematics may differ depending on teacher interactions in an online teacher community of practice (CoP). The study utilizes data from 26,857 posts collected from the South Korean self-generated online teacher CoP, ‘Indischool’. This data was then analyzed using natural language processing techniques; specifically, text classification with word2vec, BERT, and machine learning classifiers was used. The results indicate that the texts of posts can predict the level of teacher interactions in the online CoP. BERT embedding and classifier exhibited the best performance, ultimately achieving an F1 score of .756. Moreover, topic modeling utilizing BERT embedding is used to uncover the specific PCK of teachers through high- and low-interaction posts. The results reveal that high-interaction posts with numerous likes and replies demonstrate more in-depth reflections on teaching mathematics and refined PCK. This study makes two significant contributions. First, it applies a data science framework that allows for the analysis of real data from an actual online teacher community. Secondly, it sheds light on the intricacies of knowledge management in an online teacher CoP, an area that has to this point received limited empirical attention.
Second language vocabulary learning in the digital era: Ten reasons it should be on the go!
Authors: Alhatmi Sultan
Published: May 2023

Word learning is a key component in second language learning and one that L2 learners often find laborious. With the advent of mobile technology in recent years, research on mobile-assisted vocabulary learning has uncovered the immense potential mobile devices (namely smartphones and tablets) have for providing L2 learners with opportunities for effortless learning of L2 lexis. To this end, we pinpoint ten reasons why L2 learners should abandon traditional pen-and-paper-based methods of word learning and shift instead to a digital mobile word learning environment that fully utilizes the virtues of mobile learning. The role of mobile applications (apps) dedicated to word learning is hence stressed as such apps represent the core basis of mobile-assisted vocabulary learning. For EFL learners to entertain a more manageable and less time-consuming word learning experience, we emphasize the role of EFL teachers in calling their learners’ attention to the ten reasons we underscore in this article to help encourage those who are still into conventional word learning and have not yet explored learning words via mobile gadgets to make the digital shift at once.
What do we really know about students’ written arguments? Evaluating written argumentation skills
Authors: Evagorou Maria , Papanastasiou Elena , Vrikki Maria
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study was to explore the different sub-skills of students’ written arguments (i.e., writing an argument, choosing a convincing argument) that might exist, and the content dependency of arguments. This paper presents two written argumentation tools that were designed for 11-14 year-old students, and the main outcomes from applying the tools to evaluate the written arguments of 246 students. The analysis of the data implies that choosing a convincing argument is a different kind of skill than any of the other three aspects of argumentation that were evaluated in these tests; that argumentation is content specific, and that argument construction is easier when the students’ have knowledge of the topic, regardless of whether this is a scientific or an everyday life topic. A main contribution in this study is that we have identified the degree of complexity for all four sub-skills that were included in the test. By identifying that writing an argument is a more difficult skill to acquire, or that students are not acquainted with it, it can help educators to design better scaffolding structures to support students when writing counterarguments. Research implications arising from the findings include exploring in detail how students choose to agree or disagree with given claims in different situations – for example exploring the difference in agreeing with media claims on socioscientific issues as opposed to scientific claims in the science classroom. Implications for teaching include using different teaching approaches for scientific and everyday argumentation.

Effect of the Iranian Seperation Dikes on the Water Salinity Patterns Within Al Huweizah Marsh
Authors: Al Khafaji Mahmoud Saleh Mahdi
Published: May 2023

Al Huweizah Marsh is considered as the largest marsh at the southern part of Iraq. About one third of the marsh is located within the Iranian territory. Iran began to construct earth dikes along the Iraqi-Iranian international borders to separate the Iranian part of the marsh. The electrical conductivity, EC, value was adopted to be the indicator for the water salinity within the marsh. A steady two-dimensional water quality routing model was implemented by using the RMA2 and RMA4 softwares within the SMS computer package to estimate the distribution of theEC values within the marsh seasonally during the wet, moderate and dry water years. The EC distribution Patterns were estimated considering the expected two cases of the marsh future hydrological and geometrical conditions of the marsh, Case 1: without existence of the earth dikes and Case2: with the existence of the earth dikes. The estimated distribution patterns of EC values showed that the construction of the earth dikes,Case2, deteriorate the water salinity within most of the Iraqi part of the marsh during the four seasons of the wet, moderate and dry water years. During the wet and moderate years, the EC values are greater than the maximum allowable limits within most of the Iraqi part of the marsh except small portions near the outfall of the Iraqi feeders of the marsh and the lower portion of the southern part of the marsh during winter of the moderate years. While during the four seasons of the dry years, the marsh water is stagnant and the EC values are much greater than the maximum allowable limits.

Authors: Olifirovich V. , Veklenko Yu. , Chynchyk О.
Published: May 2023

Goal.To highlight the features of the formation of the species composition of the alfalfa-grass mixture, depending on the liming of the soil and the application of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. Methods. System analysis, field, laboratory, comparative calculation. Results. In the first year of using the herbage during chemical soil reclamation, the alfalfa-grass grass mixture contained 50.4-52.0% of the legume component, without liming - 40.8-42.1%. In the third year of use on the produced plots, alfalfa also dominated the botanical composition of the herbage and occupied 50-53.1%. In areas without chemical soil reclamation, the share of sowing alfalfa has sharply decreased - to 10.5-13.4%. Among the sown cereals in the herbage, tall fescue prevailed. The share of this species grew, reaching a maximum of 41.9-42.4% in the third year of use. The species composition of the herbage significantly changed depending on the mowing. Thus, grasses dominated in the first mowing on non-deoxidized areas, the share of which was 53.9-54.5%, including tall fescue 31.4- 32.2%, timothy grass 15.4-16.8%. The share of alfalfa in the first cut was 25.1-27.3%. Soil liming increased the share of the legume component in the first cut to 46.1-47.4%. The share of grass was also high and amounted to 42.1-42.2%. In the second cut, the proportion of alfalfa increased to 26.1-30.2% in the variants without soil deoxidation and to 65.3-68.0% in the variants with limestone flour. Conclusions.The introduction of limestone flour was the most effective factor in changing the species composition of the studied agrophytocenosis. In the limed areas, the share of alfalfa was high during all three years of grass stand use and amounted to 50.0-59.2%. Of the studied perennial grasses, tall fescue was noted to have high coenotic activity, the dominance of which increased in the second and, especially, the third cuttings.

High-Speed all-GaN Gate Driver with reduced power consumption
Authors: Samperi Katia , Pennisi Salvatore , Pulvirenti Francesc
Published: May 2023

This paper presents a gate driver topology designed in a GaN on Si technology to be implemented on the same substrate with a 650-V, 500-mΩ power GaN switch. The driver consists of three buffer stages, three anti-cross conduction networks, two level shifters, and three bootstrap capacitors. Simulations of the proposed GaN driver are presented and a comparison with the conventional solution, assuming the same static current consumption, is provided. The proposed circuit not only solves cross-conduction problems, which are crucial for the limitation of undue dynamic power consumption, but it is also aimed at limiting static current consumption by using a bootstrap technique. Simulations show that the power GaN transistor driven by a 6-V, 2.5-MHz PWM signal with 50% duty cycle through the proposed driver, reaches a nominal switching speed as high as 50 V/ns at 27 °C, with an average current consumption of about 1 mA, over the entire range of temperature from −40 °C to 150 °C.

Obesity has long been recognized as a major risk factor for thedevelopment of gallstones. This article explores the epidemiology, mechanisms, and treatmentoptions related to the relationship between obesity and gallstone disease. Epidemiology: Obesityis a significant risk factor for gallstone disease, with multiple studies consistently demonstratingan increased prevalence of gallstones in individuals with obesity. The exact prevalence variesacross populations, but it is generally higher in individuals with obesity compared to those with anormal body weight. T

Parents’ illness representations of their child with anorexia nervosa: A systematic review of qualitative studies using the common-sense model
Authors: Marchetti Doriana , Sawrikar Vilas
Published: May 2023

Objective: There is a wealth of qualitative research indicating that parents experience distress while caring for a child with anorexia nervosa. Applying the Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation (CSM) may help to understand the antecedents of parental distress, which could inform how to support parents in treatment. The aim of this systematic review was to deductively synthesise outcomes from qualitative research in relation to parents’ experiences of caring for a child with anorexia nervosa using the CSM. Method: Systematic search of three electronic databases (psychINFO, MEDLINE, and EMBASE) alongside a two-way screening process was used to identify eligible studies. Qualitative themes were synthesised using a “best fit” framework analysis and reported according to CSM dimensions of cognitive and emotional illness representations. Results: 26 studies published between 1970 to 2022 were eligible for inclusion for this review. Parents perceived their child’s anorexia nervosa as a major health threat observable by illness representations that anorexia nervosa was uncontrollable, incomprehensible, chronic, and associated with negative consequences. Parents generally took responsibility for causing anorexia nervosa. These illness representations were linked with emotional representations of fear, anxiety, shame, guilt, loneliness, and depression. Conclusions: The findings provide evidence of the utility of using the CSM to understand the antecedents of parents’ distress and negative impacts of caring for a child with anorexia nervosa. Recommendations for future research and clinical practice are discussed emphasising the need to understand parents perceptions of their child’s illness to putatively maximise treatment benefits for families.
Solving Vincent Carret’s Puzzle: A Rebuttal of Carret’s Fallacies and Errors
Authors: Ginoux Jean-Marc , Jovanovic Franck
Published: May 2023

In his article published in JHET in 2022, Vincent Carret (2022a) criticizes our work. In footnote 19 pages 630-1, he claims that our result “is based on a mistaken interpretation of the paragraph at the bottom of p. 191 of Frisch (1933).” He then states that we “take to mean that the coefficient of each cycle in the general sum of solutions is arbitrary, while […] these coefficients [depended] on initial conditions and the parameters of the system.” The present rejoinder aims at rebutting Carret’s allegation of mistaken interpretation in our work. We demonstrate that his statements are based on a misunderstanding of Frisch’s econometric model and approach. Then, we show that Carret’s results are not supported by the demonstration he claims to have made, and that he misrepresents our arguments.
The Relative Effectiveness of Drone Warfare: A Case Study on Airstrikes in Afghanistan from 2017 to 2020
Authors: Sevcik Noah
Published: May 2023

This study aimed to explore the impact of drone strikes on the activity of Taliban and ISIS-K in Afghanistan from 2017 to 2020, investigating the short-term and long-term effects. Multiple two-sample t-tests were used to compare the mean percent change in the number of events associated with drone strikes versus those not associated. At one week, a significant increase in events was observed following drone strikes. No significant difference was found at the three-month mark. However, six months post-drone strike demonstrated a significant reduction in the number of events. The Chi-Square Test of Independence revealed no significant relationship between drone strikes and the change in number of events at one week. These findings suggest that drone strikes have an immediate mobilizing effect on the targeted groups but may lead to a decrease in activity over a longer term. The study also highlights the need for militaries to consider the broader political and social implications of drone usage, advocating for careful strategy evaluation, precise targeting, and increased local cooperation.

Non-Heterosexual Clues: Investigating One’s Sexuality in Biographical Narratives
Authors: Kislitsyna Polina
Published: May 2023

The article is devoted to how non-heterosexual people look for perceived signs of their sexual otherness in the past and present them in biographical narratives. This search for clues is like an investigation: informants select events and details from childhood and adolescence that are assumed to be related to their current sexual identity. These clues include, among other things, recollections of childhood sexualized games, child gender otherness, and childhood interest or indifference to the topic of sexuality. In biographical interviews and written autobiographies, the author considers rhetorical strategies for the self-description of non-heterosexual people. The evidence paradigm of K. Ginzburg is used as a conceptualization tool, but, in this case, participants look for clues, not the researcher. The methodological basis of the work is a biographical approach and narrative analysis. With the help of non-heterosexual clues found in the past, participants simultaneously confirm the sustainability of their sexuality and connect elements of their biography into an orderly story. A coherent biographical narrative allows them to normalize their non-heterosexuality by offering an explanation and background to it. At the same time, it is built on opposition to the heterosexual norm.
Impact of Credit Risk Management on Profitability of Nepalese Commercial Banks
Authors: Pandey Churamani , Joshi Bimla Kumar
Published: May 2023

This study examines the impact of credit risk management on profitability of Nepalese commercial banks. Default rate, cost per loan assets and capital adequacy ratio are the independent variables used in this study. The dependent variables are return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). The secondary sources of data have been used from annual reports of selected commercial banks and supervision report of Nepal Rastra Bank. The regression models are estimated to test the significance and effect of credit risk management on profitability of Nepalese commercial banks. The beta coefficient of default rate and cost per assets with profitability (ROA, ROE) has been found negative and statistically significant. The negative sign indicates that there is statistically negative relationship between default rate and cost per loan assets with profitability. Likewise, the beta coefficient of capital adequacy ratio with ROA and ROE is found to be positive and statistically significant. The positive sign of beta coefficient indicates that there is statistically positive relationship between capital adequacy ratio and profitability. The study thus recommends an effective credit risk management for commercial banks of Nepal that maintains an optimum level of capital adequacy ratio, controls and monitors cost per loan assets and balances default rate to enhance financial performance.
Student and Teacher Perception on English Language Use in Foreign-University-Affiliated Colleges in Nepal
Authors: Singh Rajendra M. , Joshi D.N.
Published: May 2023

Foreign-university-affiliated colleges in Nepal offer a new dimension in education delivery with many opportunities and benefits. Students in these colleges are exposed to an international curriculum and a prospect of learning in an English language environment. On the one hand, Nepalese students can complete their higher education in Nepal and the nation could keep the tuition revenue from leaving the country. On the other hand, students from other countries could be attracted to these colleges and help boost the national GDP of Nepal. Furthermore, a better English language prospect has tremendous benefits to students in today’s connected world where Nepalese students can globally compete in terms of jobs or other professional prospects. The perception of Nepalese students and teachers on the English language use is generally positive despite many differences in terms of the factors such as urban vs. rural, private schools vs. government schools, as well as their educational background and place of origin. This paper examines the prospect of English language use in foreignuniversity- affiliated colleges in Nepal and the significance of such colleges as well as the importance of the English language to Nepal.
Socio-Economic Transformation and Occupational Shift in Nepal: Explorations in Generational Analysis
Authors: Aryal Badri
Published: May 2023

Studies in the global context show a variation in the occupational relationships in between father-son, father-daughter, mother-son and mother-daughter. However, such studies in Nepal are insufficient. This paper describes the socio-demographic features of people in between successive generations, and their occupational relationships, typically of father and son. A semi-structured questionnaire schedule was used to collect information from a total of 385 father son pairs during June to September 2018 in Gajuri Rural Municipality of Bagmati Province, Dhading District, Nepal. Information was collected from those fathers whose eldest son got married by the time of interview. The findings from bivariate analysis revealed that along with the changes of several socio-economic variables in the rural households in Nepal, there is both continuity and change in the parental occupations in between the father and son. Among various characteristics of father, the level of education and monthly income, in the case of son’s characteristics, the level of education and migration; and in the case of household characteristics, the caste/ethnicities and residential locations were related with the father-son occupational change. Hence, these findings indicate that the rural society in Nepal is undergoing socio-economic transformations; there is both continuity and change of fathers’ occupation by the son.
