Investigation on the Application of Plastic Fibres as Reinforcing Materials In Concrete
Authors: Ajamu S.O , Isola S.K , Ige J.A
Published: June 2020

Reinforcing materials in concrete are employed to enhance the tensile strength because concrete is weak in tension. Existing reinforcing materials have inadequate ductility and inability to reduce concrete cancer (corrosion) which can be addressed by using plastic fibre because of high ductility and inertness. Hence, this research assessed the effect of plastic fibre as reinforcement in concrete. Polyethylene terephthalate materials were obtained from Aradaa Market, Ogbomoso, Nigeria and shredded into fibre size of 65 x 2 mm. The shredded fibre introduced into the concrete mix ratio 1:2:4 using 12 mm aggregate size at 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5% volume fraction of the total mass of the concrete composite. The workability of the concrete produced was assessed in the laboratory through slump test. Plastic fibre reinforced concrete cubes of size 150 x 150 x 150 mm and beams of size 100 x 100 x 500 mm were produced in line with British Standard 882, Part 1 specification. The compressive and flexural strengths of these reinforced concrete composites were examined with the compressive test machine and Universal Testing Machine after 28 days of curing. The crack examination test on plastic fibre reinforced concrete was also done with the use of crack comparator. The slump values varied from 3 – 60 mm height. Compressive strength of the cubes varied from 18.58 to 18.71, 8.18 to 8.22, and 2.22 to 2.27 N/mm for 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 % volume fraction, respectively. The corresponding flexural strength test values of the beams ranged from 23.95 to 24.01, 12.01 to 12.07 and 4.94 to 5.80 N/mm’, respectively. The crack examination test revealed crack width of 0.05 mm on the plain (0% fibre) concrete cubes while those with fibre reinforcement showed no cracks. Fibres reinforcement at 0.5% volume fraction improved the compressive and flexural strengths and reduced cracks of concrete. Shredded plastic fibres can be successfully used in many construction applications of light weight, non-load bearing and infill panels.

Published: June 2020

A good understanding of the engineering properties of lateritic soil is highly essential for effective use of the soil for highway pavement construction. The alarming rate of highway pavement failures within the study area has been attributed to paucity of information on the properties of the soil within the study zone. Therefore, the lateritic soils along selected locations along Ibadan – Oyo were characterised for their suitability for highway construction. Ten (10) lateritic soil samples were collected and they were labelled Trial Pit (TP) 1 to 10. The samples were subjected to the following laboratory tests: Sieve analysis, Liquid Limit (LL), Plastic Limit (PL), and Shrinkage Limit (SL), British Standard (BS), West African Standard (WAS), Modified AASHTO compaction and California bearing ratio. The samples were classified using AASHTO classification system. The results of the sieve analyses for percentage passing the 75 m ranged from 15.6 – 33.7%, LL, PL and SL ranged from 30.1 – 39.2%, 2.6 – 23.1%, and 2.1 – 9.3%, respectively. The maximum dry density (MDD) and optimum moisture content (OMC) for British, West African and Modified AASHTO compaction ranged from (1.48 – 1.94 g/cm’ and 10.40 – 16.40%), (1.69 – 2.40 g/cm’ and 9.60-14.40%) and (1.79 – 2.60 g/cm’ and 6.60- 11.60%), respectively. The ten samples are classified as A-2-6 soil. Based on the characterisation, all the samples are only suitable for fill and subgrade except sample TP2 that is also suitable for subbase and base course construction in highway pavement.

Authors: Jelili M.O , Gbadegesin A.S , Alabi A.T
Published: June 2020

In an attempt to unravel the intricacies of outdoor air pollution in a traditional urban settlement, the study examined the extent, spatial variations and causes of declining air quality in Ogbomoso. The study area was delineated into core, transition and suburban zones and half of the identified residential precincts (54) from the three zones were selected. Data were obtained with gas samplers on the concentrations of Carbon II Oxide (CO), Sulphur IV Oxide (SO2) and Particulate Matters (PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM7, PM10 and TSP) around 385 sampled buildings and questionnaire administered to the occupants. Concentration levels of the pollutants were also measured around seven specific land use areas. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to explain the inter-zonal variations in outdoor air quality. Findings revealed that the mean PM2.5 (46.3μg/m³) was higher than the WHO limit, though lower than the WHO IT-1 limit for maximum 1-hour average, while the mean PM10 (188.8μg/m³) was higher than both set limits. The mean TSP level (287.3μg/m³) was lower than the FEPA standard and mean outdoor CO levels were generally lower than set limits. The inter-zonal variations of air quality, using “Outdoor PM Aggregate” showed that outdoor air quality varied significantly with residential zone (p = 0.001). Land use sources of specific air toxics were also identified, with abattoirs and sawmills found to increase ambient levels of PM2.5 beyond WHO limit, while printing outfits increased ambient levels of SO2 and CO beyond the set limits. The study concludes that outdoor air quality in Ogbomoso is considerably low with respect to ambient levels of inhalable particles and recommended pragmatic land use planning measures which would help to ensure better air quality.
Holistic assessment of solid wastes and their environmental impacts in Osogbo city, Southwestern Nigeria with the application of GaBi6 modeling tool
Authors: Ojoawo S.O , Amoo A.A , Adisa O.M
Published: June 2020

Environmental impacts and attendant nuisance of solid wastes escalate in the 21st Century. Effective management of the wastes in a holistic manner is a proven way out of the menace. This research focuses on accessing the life cycle of solid wastes in Osogbo. The main objective is to evaluate the physical and chemical constituents of the wastes and determine their best disposal method in the study area. In the study, wastes were collected over a period of 2 weeks, wastes composition was determined for the randomly selected residential buildings, and the per capital waste generation rate was evaluated for the area. Potable gas detectors were used to detect and measure the gases present at this dumpsite. The emission of gases and energy consumption was evaluated using the methodology of life cycle in calculating life cycle inventory of the waste strategies. The measured gases include; Sulphur (IV) oxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon (iv) oxide (CO2), ammonia (NH4). The Tool for the Reduction and Assessment of Chemical and other Environmental Impacts (TRACI) of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Methodology of the Centre for Environmental Studies (CML) of the University of Leiden are the two approaches applied as provided for in the GaBi6 (Holistic Balancing) Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software database, to classify and characterize environmental impacts of municipal wastes in Osogbo. The Impact Indices measured from both scenarios were: Global Warming Potential (GWP), Acidification Potential (AP), Eutrophication Potential (EP) and Ozone Layer Depletion Potential (ODP). For the Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), two waste management scenarios were developed and compared using GaBi6 software. Scenario one involves collection, transportation and incineration, while Scenario 2 ends with landfilling. Findings showed that the overall mean percent (%) wastes composition for paper, biodegradable, plastic, glass, metal, wood and textile were respectively found to be 4.32, 67.53, 5.07, 4.90, 6.54, 8.74 and 2.90. The per capita waste generation in the study area was found to be 1.09 kg/capita/day. From the results of LCIA methods studied using the ODP index, Scenario one with the TRACI method gives the total values for GWP, AP, EP, ODP as 4.18, 1.08, 1.392E-4, 3.147E-8 respectively. With the CML method, the values are 4.18, 1.3E-3, 3.771E-4, 2.878E-8 respectively. The respective results from scenario two with the TRACI method and CML methods showed total values for GWP, AP, EP, ODP as 9.64, 0.112, 3.108E-3, 1.447E-11 and 9.64, 1.77E-3, 7.247E-3, 1.361E-11. It is concluded that of the two management scenarios considered, landfilling of wastes is more environmentally friendly as compared to incineration, and is therefore recommended for use in the study area.

Published: June 2020

Neem tree (Azadirachtaindica) is a tropical evergreen tree scattered all over the country, hence its availability can add to the list of materials used as pozzolan. This study investigated the characteristics of Neem Seed Husk Ash (NSHA) blended cement produced in the factory. Neem fruit was collected from Olooru town and Ilorin metropolis in Kwara State Nigeria, after collection, the seed was removed with the use of Decorticator huskers, sun dried for 3 days to reduce its moisture content and burnt in a furnace at a temperature of 650 ± 50 oC. The chemical composition (SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3) and physical characteristics were determined. Blended cement was produced by intergrinding 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50% by weight of NSHA with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) clinker and gypsum. OPC without NSHA served as the control. The blended cements produced were analyzed for chemical composition using X-Ray Flourescence Analyser (XRF). The physico-mechanical properties of blended cement (fineness, initial and final setting time, heat of hydration) produced was examined. The total percentage of SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 for NSHA is 75.35%. Factory produced NSHA – blended cement is suitable as it satisfied the maximum requirement of 375 minutes for final setting time and 45 minutes minimum initial setting time, hence it can be used for construction work where strength is not a priority

Abstract:

When a lightning strikes the top of a transmission line tower or shield wires, electromagnetic waves propagate through the tower back and forth, increasing the voltage across insulator strings. is can eventually lead to a back-fl ashover (BF), which may cause damage to equipment or costly power outages. To calculate the over-voltages and predict the probability of a BF, an accurate model of the tower and its grounding system is needed in electromagnetic transient (EMT) type simulators. There are a number of theoretical models for the equivalent circuit of a transmission tower. However, they either are not accurate enough or they are derived for a certain type of transmission tower, which limits their applicability. Numerical electromagnetic analyses have less simplifications compared to the theoretical solutions and are by far less expensive than field measurements. They also have the flexibility to analyze any type of tower. In this paper, the direct method for the measurement of tower impedance is implemented by NEC4 and applied to a 400-kV double circuit tower with all its details. Th e process of obtaining the wire network of the tower used in this paper is completely automated and it can be applied to any other type of transmission tower. Th e results of the numerical simulations are compared to those obtained with existing tower models. Th e developed model in this paper is capable of considering all the details of the tower and including the finite resistance of the ground and grounding electrodes.

Authors: Sorokin Evgeniy , Khramtsov Igor , Cherenkova Evgeniya
Published: June 2020

The interaction noise of turbulent jet with deflected flap is considered. The test objects are small-scale models of turbulent jet and flap in scale 1:6. To compare the effect of chevrons on the interaction noise level, experiments are carried out for two types of conical nozzles: conventional and chevron. It is also used conventional flap and chevron flap. Noise measurements in acoustic far field are carried out in the PNRUP acoustic chamber for directions from 15 to 105 degrees with a step of 15 degrees. The flap deflection angle varied from 0 to 45 degrees in increments of 5 degrees. The results are compared with each other. It was found that the use of chevrons for nozzle and for flap has the effect of some reduction in the interaction noise. Moreover, the jet outflowing from the chevron nozzle, when interacting with chevron flap, gives lower noise level than when interacting with conventional flap.

Answering John Hick's Incoherence Allegations Against Dual-Nature Concept in the Orthodox Doctrine of Incarnation
In his writings, John Hick states that Christianity must rethink the claim to the divinity of Jesus as God the Son Incarnate. In his view, the dual nature in Jesus cannot be understood with common sense because the two natures contradict each other. As a way out, Hick offers the concept of mythologization which states that Jesus' incarnation as God the Son is a myth. To answer that, in this paper, in addition to basing her argument on the biblical statement, the author uses a combined logic approach: relativity thesis, natural kind concept, and divine preconscious model. With the method of relativity thesis, the author can point out the logic errors of incoherent accusations from Hick to the doctrine of the orthodox incarnation. Meanwhile, the natural kind concept approach can prove the coherence of the dual-natures concept in God the Son as an incarnation of God. The Divine preconscious model can provide a logical basis for the unity of the Person of Jesus with the two natures within Him, which do not contradict each other. With the combination of the three approaches, this paper presents a strong argument to prove that the doctrine of the orthodox incarnation is coherent. Thus, Christianity does not need to re-articulate the doctrine of the orthodox incarnation and also does not interpret the doctrine as a myth.
Dalam berbagai tulisannya, John Hick menyatakan bahwa kekristenan harus memikirkan ulang mengenai pernyataan keilahian Yesus sebagai Allah Anak yang berinkarnasi. Dalam pandangannya, dwinatur dalam diri Yesus adalah hal yang tidak dapat dipahami dengan akal sehat karena kedua natur itu saling berkontradiksi. Sebagai jalan keluar, Hick menawarkan konsep mitologisasi yang menyatakan bahwa inkarnasi Yesus sebagai Allah Anak adalah sebuah mitos belaka. Untuk menjawab hal itu, dalam makalah ini, penulis menggunakan pendekatan logika gabungan: relativity thesis (pernyataan relativitas), natural kind concept (konsep ciri alamiah), dan divine preconscious model (model bawah sadar ilahi). Dengan metode relativity thesis, penulis dapat menunjukkan kesalahan logika tuduhan inkoherensi dari Hick terhadap doktrin inkarnasi ortodoks. Sementara itu, pendekatan natural kind concept dapat membuktikan koherensi dari konsep dwinatur yang ada dalam diri Allah Anak sebagai inkarnasi Allah. Divine preconscious model dapat memberikan pijakan logis mengenai kemanunggalan Pribadi Yesus dengan dua natur yang ada di dalam diri-Nya, yang tidak saling berkontradiksi. Dengan gabungan ketiga pendekatan tersebut makalah ini menyajikan argumen yang kuat untuk membuktikan bahwa doktrin inkarnasi ortodoks bersifat koheren. Dengan demikian, kekristenan tidak perlu memberikan artikulasi ulang terhadap doktrin inkarnasi ortodoks dan juga tidak perlu memaknai doktrin tersebut sebagai sebuah mitos.
Los animales entre la mente y el mundo

El trabajo pone en relación la propuesta filosófica de John McDowell con los estudios recientes sobre cognición animal. La primera sección reconstruye la noción liberalizada de naturaleza desarrollada por este autor en Mente y mundo a partir del umbral representado por las ciencias naturales modernas, y explica luego el lugar que ocupan en ella los animales no humanos. La segunda sección examina dos problemas que posee esta propuesta: su inestabilidad interna y la dificultad para ubicar en ella a los animales no humanos tal como los estudia la etología cognitiva. La tercera sección sostiene que estos problemas no resultan acuciantes si se piensa que la naturaleza liberalizada de McDowell es reencantada desde la etología.

An outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection occurred in Wuhan, China at the end of December 2019 and spread of this virus already reached to almost 210 countries around the world. WHO declared COVID-19 as ‘global pandemic’ on 11 March, 2020 and accounted South Asia as the high-risk region. Nepal, a landlocked country bordering two most populous countries, India and China, was expected to have high number of cases of COVID-19 due to its proximity to the highly infected country China, and lately spreading country India. Also, many of the Nepali people are engaged in the businesses related with China and India. However, there has been very few reported cases in Nepal. The first case was reported on 24th January 2020, one and half months after the first case was confirmed in China. It took almost three months for the number of cases to reach 45 and to kick off the community spread stage of the pandemic. This research presented the detailed situation of the cases, testing facilities, quarantine and isolation, hospital, and nursing care etc. before the start of Community Transmission stage in Nepal. The scenario has been represented graphically and the condition of other South Asian nations has also been compared and visualized. The steps taken by the government, individuals, and other organizations are also highlighted. This paper also provides the concrete data and their analysis about the pandemic which can be helpful not only for the current but also for the future pandemic controls.

ECOLOGICAL-PHYTOCENOTIC ANALYSIS OF THE FIELD LAYER OF URBAN RECREATIONAL FORESTS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF KALUGA AND OBNINSK)
Authors: Evseeva A. A
Published: June 2020

The aim of this study is to study the diversity of the ecological-coenotic structure of the field layer of the residual urban forests, using as an example the cities Kaluga and Obninsk, which have different approaches to the conservation of residual forest communities in the city. Obninsk practices the conservation of forest zones that have entered the urban environment as recreational objects, while in Kaluga, such forest communities are in a state of interrupted succession and have experienced forestry activities. The objectives of the study are to study the ecological-coenotic and ecological-biological spectra of the field layer of forest ecosystems, and to identify adventive and protected plant species. The study took place in 2014-2015. In the forest communities under study, 30 sites were selected for geobotanical descriptions by the Braun-Blanquet method at different periods of the growing season (in June and August) to fully cover floristic diversity. A total during the observation period were made 240 floristic descriptions. Kaluga city forests turned out to be more susceptible to negative changes occurring in conditions of recreational forest management. The field layer of the Kaluga forest recreational zones turned out to be more susceptible to negative changes occurring under the influence of anthropogenic pressure, in comparing with the Obninsk forest recreational zones. This is expressed in the proportion of ecological-coenotic and ecological-biological groups, the presence of a greater number of alien species in the studied communities of Kaluga, which indicates greater resistance to the recreational load of the city forests of Obninsk. For example, the share of the group of forest habitats is much higher in Obninsk, where forest species make up more than half of all types of grass layer (54,2%). In the Kaluga forests, the share of forest habitats is lower and amounted to 47,5%. The discovered difference in the stability of the field layer of the Obninsk forests is presumably due to the strategy of their conservation in the urban area in a state of natural succession. The practical significance of the results obtained can be the possibility of using them to determine the degree of negative changes in recreational forests. The direction of further research can be directed at organizing monitoring of the urban forests of Kaluga and Obninsk according to the state of the field layer.
MATERIALS FOR THE STUDY OF THE FAUNA OF COLEOPTERA SPECIALLY PROTECTED NATURAL AREAS OF THE ALTAI TERRITORY (THE MOUTH OF THE PESCHANAYA RIVER)
Authors: Psarev A. M.
Published: June 2020

The Altai Territory is notable for its poorly studied entomofauna of specially protected natural areas. The work first provides the results of the study of the fauna of necrophilous Coleoptera on the territory of the natural monument "The Mouth of the Peschanaya River". The collection was conducted with the help of soil traps with bait. 51 species from 7 Coleptera families were found. Carabidae and species of other families not belonging to the ecological group under study were not taken into account. Staphylinidae was the most numerous in terms of species (54,9% of the total number of species), significantly inferior to Silphidae and Scarabaeidae (13,7% and 9,8% respectively), the share of the remaining four families ( Histeridae, Leiodidae, Hydrophilidae, Dermestidae ) was 21,6% in total. Silphidae ( Nicrophorus vespillo, Oiceoptoma thoracicum , etc.) dominated the numbers. The dominant species ( Nicrophorus vespilloides ) belongs to the same family. Common and numerous were Anoplotrupes stercorosus, Aphodius rectus ( Scarabaeidae ), Sciodrepoides watsoni ( Leiodidae ). Of staphilinids, the most numerous in terms of species were not dominant, only three species ( Philonthus cruentatus, Aleochara curtula, Drusilla canaliculata ) had the second class of abundance, the rest were single species, from 1 to 4 individuals. In Staphylinidae, in addition to the usual herpetobionic and necrophilous species, species characteristic of the banks of reservoirs ( Philonthus quisquiliarius, Bledius sp.), fungi ( Oxyporus maxillosus, Gyrophena sp.) were present in the collections. An assessment of species richness, dominance and equilibrium in the community of necrophilous Coleoptera showed average values of Shannon index (H = 2,2), Berger-Parker index (d = 0, 0,43) and Pielou’s evenness index (E = 0, 0,57).

Published: June 2020

The total concentrations of metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Sr) and their mobile forms extracted by an ammonium acetate buffer (pH = 4,8) were studied in soils samples collected from Nadym-Pur interfluve (West Siberia), near the northern limit of the taiga zone. The heavy metal content was determined in 55 background soil samples and in 25 pyrogenic ones. Gross content was determined on a spectrometer "SPECTROSCAN MAX-GV" using x-ray fluorescence analysis. Mobile forms of metals were determined on a ContrAA 700 atomic absorption spectrometer by flame and electrothermal methods. The statistics are calculated using the Excel software package. The study confirmed the weak accumulation of metals in the soils of the northern regions of Western Siberia. The total content below the soil world average for Fe is 5 times, Mn - 3 times, Sr - 2 times, Cr - 1,4 times. The content of mobile forms varies widely depending on the amount of organic matter. The percentage of mobile forms of metals from the total content was: Cr - 0.84%, Fe - 1,2%, Sr - 3,8%, Mn - 8,7%, Ni - 15%. In the profile of podzols, the distribution of mobile forms of metals has an eluvial-illuvial character. Mn and Sr accumulate intensively in the surface organogenic horizons, and the Fe content increases in the BF horizon. Minimum values are marked in horizon E. In pyrogenic soils, there is an increase in the content of mobile forms of metals due to the intake of ash. Metal content usually not exceeded the maximal permissible concentrations for soils.

Validated Chromatographic methods for estimation of Solanine in Mahamrutyunjaya rasa
Authors: Rai Pallavi , Kaushik Rahul , Rajput Sadhana J.
Published: June 2020

Introduction: Mahamrutyunjaya rasa is a herbomineral ayurvedic formulation used for various indications like fever, pain, cardiac arrhythmia, etc. It contains Solanum indicum as one of the ingredients having anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and diaphoretic properties. Solanine is one of the active biomarkers for Solanum indicum. The therapeutic window of Solanine is very narrow, with the LD50 value of 3-6 mg/kg body weight in humans.
Objective: Estimation of such biomarkers is very significant to avoid any adverse events due to the administration of ayurvedic preparations containing Solanine. In the present study, two simple, sensitive, reliable chromatographic techniques have been developed and validated for the estimation of Solanine in Mahamrutyunjaya rasa.
Materials and Methods: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation of Solanine was performed on an reversed phase C-18 column (250 mm 9 4.6 mm ID, 5 lm particle size), with isocratic elution using a mixture of Tris buffer (10mM, pH 6.00): Acetonitrile(60:40, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min with UV detection at 218 nm for solanine. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) separation was done on Silica gel 60 F254 pre-coated plates using Chloroform: Methanol: Ammonia (7:3:0.5 v/v). The densitometric scanning was performed at 500 nm. The developed methods were validated for linearity, LOD, LOQ, accuracy, precision, and specificity as per ICH guidelines.
Results: Solanine was eluted at 4.43 ± 0.1 min and established a linearity range of 1 – 100 μg/ml (r2 = 0.9992). In the HPTLC method, the Rf value of Solanine was 0.05 in a linearity range of 1600-4800 ng/ml.
Conclusion: Reliable, rapid, simple, and sensitive chromatographic methods were developed for the quantification of Solanine in Mahamrutyunjaya Rasa.

In a couple of decades, there has been exponential development in the field of homegrown medications. The greater part of the conventional arrangement of herbal medication is viable; however, they need standardization. So there is a need to build up a procedure standardization. Standardization of natural medicine is fundamental so as to evaluate the quality, purity, efficacy and safety of the herbal medications. Homegrown medications are the well-known type of customary medication and the high universal requests because of their simplicity of accessibility, there lesser reactions. These homegrown details are the property or information on the mature ages of each home. Homegrown medications additionally have an enormous holistic accepts ex. Holi tulsi plant. It is important to build up basic procedures to the standardization of related natural medications. The present investigation standardization of Triphala Churna significantly centered around that region under WHO guidelines. This polyherbal Churna utilized to treat the obstruction and another gastric issue. Right now, arranged Triphala Churna was nearly standardized with the reference acquired from advertising. For the standardization of the above details were finished by assessing the macroscopically, microscopical, powder stream properties, extractive qualities, physicochemical characters, overwhelming metal substance location, qualitative and quantitive tests of tannins and alkaloids, TLC fingerprinting test to evaluate the quality and safety and therapeutic activity of formulation.
Language Learning Strategy Research: Where do we go from here?
Authors: Rose Heath
Published: June 2020

Language learning strategy (LLS) research has been on the decline since the mid-1990s, when there was a boom in strategy research. This decline is, in part, due to growing criticisms of categorizations of learning strategies (Dörnyei, 2005), the data collection instruments used (Dörnyei, 2005; Woodrow, 2005), and contradictory and questionable results (Hadwin & Winne, 1996). In more recent years some research has been conducted under the umbrella of terms such as strategic learning and self-regulation, which aim to distance themselves from the past problems of LLS research. This article uses a recent study of strategic learning to illustrate how strategy research can be conducted in the current academic environment. The study shows that research frameworks need to be context-specific rather than generalized across languages and learning tasks. The study also illustrates the usefulness of qualitative data collection instruments over previously and widely applied questionnaires.

Authors: Papadima-Sophocleous Salomi
Published: June 2020

This study investigated whether and to what extent an English Language Voluntary Intensive Independent Catch-up Study (ELVIICS), a Self-Access Language Learning (SALL) programme, was effective in helping first-year Greek-Cypriot students fill in the gaps in their English language learning and come closer to the required language competence level of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) B1 level. It also examined students’ perceptions of such learning. The students followed the ELVIICS at their own pace, time and space until they felt they had reached the aimed level. Analysis of the achievement test results revealed that students’ language competence improved and reached the required level. Additional quantitative data also revealed that students felt ELVIICS also helped them improve their self-confidence, computer skills and autonomous learning. Moreover, students claimed that ELVIICS assisted them in getting through and successfully completing their compulsory course.
Enhancing Student Self-Study Attitude and Activity with Motivational Techniques
Authors: Rhoads Kent , deHaan Jonathan
Published: June 2020

Research has shown that students will exhibit a positive attitude towards self-study, but that they will often fail to complete self-study activities. The purpose of this paper is to investigate positive instructor interactions and motivation of students to complete self-study activities and students’ attitudes towards self-study. Six English instructors at the University of Shizuoka created a one-semester self-access study log for use in the university self-access language laboratory in order to find out how many students would complete the log. One of the six instructors applied motivational techniques in the classroom in an effort to engender greater student self-study. Later a questionnaire was administered to 465 student participants to determine their self-study attitudes and activities. The data collected from the questionnaire and the high participation in the self-study activities suggest the positive impact the motivational actions employed by the instructor had on his students’ attitudes towards self-study activities.
