Published: March 2021

The aim of this study was to know the effectiveness of the use of alphabet cards game as interesting tool to explain vocabularies and it make it easier to remember their meanings. This study belongs to the quasi experimental research and presents pre-test, post test and to investigate the effect of using alphabet cards game on vocabulary mastery of commercial business administration students. The participants were the students from commercial business administration students at the third semester (N=54) of State Polytechnic Bengkalis and divided into two groups. Both groups were taught vocabulary, however, the experimental group students who are exposed to alphabet cards game and the controlled group students who received conventional method. Pre-test and post-test were given to both experimental group students and controlled group students. The score of the vocabulary tests were compared through independent sample t-test. The mean value of pre-test of experimental class was 61.35, while the control class was 52.23. After learning using alphabet card games in experimental class the mean value obtained in post-test was 78.85, while in control class was 59.04.  The improved of learning outcomes can be seen from the level of significance was 0.000 and it was lower than t test 0.000<0.05.  It means that the hypothesis null is not accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the score of the students in learning vocabulary between the experimental group and control group was significantly different. The experimental group students who learned vocabulary using alphabet cards game had increased their vocabulary mastery.

Authors: Saputra Boni , Rionaldi Rionaldi , Aswandi Aswandi
Published: March 2021

Malay story “Yong Dollah” is one of cultural heritage in the form of oral literature in Bengkalis. This story has been very popular and often been told to children, teenagers or even adults in certain occasion like at night or free time. It has been told throughout generations in the life of Malay people in Bengkalis. Yong Dollah is a character created by a man named Abdullah bin Endong, Bengkalis Malay artist. In his entire life, he liked to tell stories that mostly came from his imagination to entertain people. The contents of his stories were often related to his daily life, adventure and often contained certain moral value for audience. The popularity of the stories could be used as learning resource text and media to teach English for senior high school students. However, English version of these stories had never been made before. The exploration and translation of the original stories into English were done to meet the need of learning. Method of translating used in this study was adaptation where intercultural differences between original text from source language (Bahasa Melayu) and target language (English) were adjusted to convey the original meaning from the content of the language. Results of the translation were set of translated stories of Yong Dollah. These Stories can be used by teacher in teaching English for senior high school students. In addition, this study could also be used as alternative entertainment and could help to preserve cultural heritage of Malay people.
CORPUS LINGUISTICS: POTENTIALS AND LIMITATIONS
Authors: Yunus Kamariah
Published: March 2021

In this digital era, the role of computer technology as a resource for instruction of foreign language learners is increasing as educators recognise the ability of computer technology to produce both independent and collaborative learning environments. Computer technologies, for example the Internet, multimedia, and hypermedia have been introduced in English Language Learning and Teaching (ELLT) to foster language learning process, all of which fall under the category of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Corpus linguistics is a systematic analysis of the actual (real) production of language (either spoken or written), in which texts are assembled using computer technology (concordancer) to form a large collection of authentic texts, called a corpus (plural-corpora) that comes in various sizes.  Despite immense research on corpus linguistics in these recent decades, the potentials and limitations of Data-Driven Learning (DDL), the application of corpus linguistics in ELLT have not been widely discussed. Hence, this paper aims to review the potentials and limitations of DDL as a means of opening up opportunities for further studies. This insightful information is highlighted as a means of promoting DDL and producing independent learners in the 21st century classroom.

Indonesia, from Sabang to Merauke, has thousands of archipelagos which lead it to have cultural diversity. Recognizing its huge diversity is important to build the national unity. One of the ways is through education. In fact, National Examination is stated as the benchmark to the national educational equality. This paper aimed to analyze the Indonesian local wisdom written in the English genre text in the student’s national examination preparation. It deals with the brief description about the content of the student’s worksheet, titled Prediksi UN SMP Bahasa Inggris published by Graha Pustaka Jakarta Indonesia. This is a descriptive research which the student’s worksheet is as the main data. It becomes one of students’ compulsory books for one of Junior High school in Jombang, East Java in facing National Examination. The result shows that there are 5 text types provided; Descriptive, Procedure, Narrative, Recount and Report. From the text types above, there are 18 % texts which describe/ tell about the how Indonesia is described through the description (Descriptive and Recount text ), and folklore (Narrative). The descriptions will make students more recognize and love Indonesia through its diversity (e.g. Monumen Nasional, Ari’s Grandmother, etc, and the story can be learnt its moral value (e.g. the history of Cenderawasih, etc) to be applied in daily life. Finally, the researcher hopes that this research gives big contribution to all the readers particularly for the publishers to select the text with the Indonesian local wisdom so that the students will have high awareness and love to their nation.

A critical review of ESP curriculum for pharmacists at SMKN 5 Pangkalpinang, Bangka Belitung
Authors: Amelia Pratiwi
Published: March 2021

This paper presents a critical review of the ESP curriculum for the tenth grade of pharmacists’ students at SMKN 5 Pangkalpinang. This critical review is based on the theory of Language Curriculum Design proposed by Nation & Macalister (Nation & Macalister, 2007). It is found that the English curriculum, which uses by SMKN 5 Pangkalpinang is not suitable for the students of pharmacists. Teaching English for pharmacists at SMKN 5 Pangkalpinang needs modification and revitalisation to accommodate the needs of the students in the future. The general teaching materials for the students will not fulfil the language skills needed by the students. However, the materials should be specific. The revitalization of ESP curriculum at SMKN 5 Pangkalpinang should be based on research on the environment and need analysis of learning English as pharmacists. It also should consider the principles of curriculum design in teaching English for a specific purpose.

Sprachliche und politische Grenzen im (ehemaligen) Dialektkontinuum des Alemannischen am Beispiel der trinationalen Region Basel (Schweiz) in Karten von SprecherInnen
Authors: Hofer Lorenz
Published: March 2021

A group of Swiss informants of the trinational Basel region were asked to draw maps of the regional language borders. Thus, the subjective assessment of language borders could be visualized. By means of these maps, changes in the former Alemannic dialect continuum in the Upper Rhine Area become transparent, which have developed by nation building, standardizing processes and diglossia. The experiment demonstrates in what way linguistic landscapes are perceived and what means informants use to visualize them. On the basis of this material, a tentative typology of linguistic maps can be established, ranging from "cognitive" maps to "geographic" maps.
Fischzüge der Liebe: Liebeskommunikation in deutschen und chinesischen SMS-Sequenzen
Authors: Imo Wolfgang
Published: March 2021

One of the biggest problems with love talk is that the lovers want to make sure of their true and sincere love but that at the same time the assertion of truth and sincerity may also be interpreted as mere routine and the utterance of clichés. On the basis of a qualitative analysis of German and Chinese love communication by SMS it will be shown from a cross-linguistic and cross-cultural perspective how interactants cope with this dilemma. The data show that – paradoxically – one solution is to tease each other and produce intentional misunderstandings that yield low puns (a strategy found in the German data) or to enact the end of the love relationship (in the Chinese data).

On Analyzing and Teaching Pragmatic and Other Aspects of English as a Global Language
Authors: Grzega Joachim
Published: March 2021

The article deals with aspects of analyzing and teaching English as a global language. Apart from a few remarks on phonetics, lexis and morphosyntax, its specific focus are pragmalinguistic issues. After a brief state-of-the-art, analyses of both natural and experimentally elicited language data from oral and written contexts are presented. The analyses rest on both qualitative approaches (VOICE and You Tube clips) and quantitative approaches (one type of DPTs, two types of MJTs and one type of semantic differential). The studies show that quantitative analyses with experimental methods often falsify hypotheses that have suggested themselves from prior qualitative research ("let-it pass principle" among natives and non-natives) and from normative language guides ("learner-book illusion", "complex-is-polite principle", "middle slots relevance"). The article then shows how the linguistic findings from such experimental designs can and should be rendered into principles and components for Teaching English as a Global Language, which would require constant work-in-progress models. Concrete examples are given from Basic Global English (BGE), which aims to prepare for global citizenship by incorporating transculturally effective strategies at the elementary level.

Published: March 2021

Silicon carbide (SiC), which is the leading representative of the third-generation of semiconductors, possesses many excellent physical properties. However, its advantages also incur difficulties in processing, which calls for special processing techniques, such as femtosecond laser machining. In addition, SiC has shown unprecedented potential for optoelectronic applications. Knowledge of the nonlinear absorption coefficient and the nonlinear refractive index coefficient of SiC is required in both of the fields. In this work, the nonlinear absorption coefficient and the nonlinear refractive index coefficient of semi-insulating (SI) 6H-SiC and SI 4H-SiC, the most pervasive SiC polytypes, are measured in an extensive spectral range from 400 nm to 1000 nm with the Z-scan technique. Besides, the spectral dependence of the nonlinear optical properties is analyzed, facilitated by linear absorption spectrum. Especially, two-photon absorption (2PA) and three-photon absorption (3PA) coefficients of SI 6H-SiC and SI 4H-SiC are characterized in the respective spectral ranges. From the characterization of SiC, we can observe self-focusing phenomenon for nonlinear refraction. In the end, we unravel the potential of SiC for ultrafast all-optical switching based on the measured nonlinear optical properties.
Nonreciprocal transition between two nondegenerate energy levels
Authors: Xu Xunwei , Zhao Yanjun , Wang Hui , Chen Aixi , Liu Yu-Xi
Published: March 2021

Stimulated emission and absorption are two fundamental processes of light–matter interaction, and the coefficients of the two processes should be equal. However, we will describe a generic method to realize the significant difference between the stimulated emission and absorption coefficients of two nondegenerate energy levels, which we refer to as a nonreciprocal transition. As a simple implementation, a cyclic three-level atom system, comprising two nondegenerate energy levels and one auxiliary energy level, is employed to show a nonreciprocal transition via a combination of synthetic magnetism and reservoir engineering. Moreover, a single-photon nonreciprocal transporter is proposed using two one-dimensional semi-infinite coupled-resonator waveguides connected by an atom with nonreciprocal transition effect. Our work opens up a route to design atom-mediated nonreciprocal devices in a wide range of physical systems.
Beauty and the busy mind: Occupied working memory resources impair aesthetic experiences in everyday life
Authors: Weigand Rosalie , Jacobsen Thomas
Published: March 2021

Aesthetic experiences have been distinguished from other experiences based on an aesthetic mode of processing that often entails concentrating working memory resources on the aesthetic stimulus. Since working memory is a limited-capacity system, there should be a trade-off between available resources and the aesthetic experience. To test whether the intensity of the aesthetic experience is reduced if working memory resources are otherwise occupied, we employed an experience sampling method. One hundred and fifteen undergraduate students (45% female; Mage = 23.50 years, SD = 2.72 years) participated in a 2-week experience sampling study and furnished a total of 15,047 reports of their aesthetic experiences. As measures of current working memory resources, participants answered questions regarding their current working memory load and whether they were engaged in a second task. In addition, they reported whether they had had an aesthetic experience and how much they had savored the aesthetic experience. Multilevel modeling was used for data analysis. A higher working memory load was associated with fewer aesthetic experiences and reduced the savoring of aesthetic experiences. Second tasks, however, that were perceived as demanding and requiring a lot of concentration enhanced the savoring of aesthetic experiences. In sum, other goal-oriented behavior that requires working memory resources appears to conflict with aesthetic experiences in everyday life.
Cerebral haemodynamics during simulated driving: Changes in workload are detectable with functional near infrared spectroscopy
Authors: Bloomfield Peter M. , Green Hayden , Gant Nicholas
Published: March 2021

Motor vehicle operation is a complicated task and substantial cognitive resources are required for safe driving. Experimental paradigms examining cognitive workload using driving simulators often introduce secondary tasks, such as mathematical exercises, or utilise simulated in-vehicle information systems. The effects of manipulating the demands of the primary driving task have not been examined in detail using advanced neuroimaging techniques. This study used a manipulation of the simulated driving environment to test the impact of increased driving complexity on brain activity. Fifteen participants drove in two scenarios reflecting common driving environments differing in the amount of vehicular traffic, frequency of intersections, number of buildings, and speed limit restrictions. Functional near infrared spectroscopy was used to quantify changes in cortical activity; fifty-five optodes were placed over the prefrontal and occipital cortices, commonly assessed areas during driving. Compared to baseline, both scenarios increased oxyhaemoglobin in the bilateral prefrontal cortex and cerebral blood volume in the right prefrontal cortex (all p ≤ 0.05). Deoxyhaemoglobin decreased at the bilateral aspects of the prefrontal cortex but overall tended to increase in the medial aspect during both scenarios (both p ≤ 0.05). Cerebral oxygen exchange significantly declined at the lateral aspects of the prefrontal cortex, with a small but significant increase seen in the medial aspect (both p < 0.05). There were no significant differences for oxyhaemoglobin, deoxyhaemoglobin, or cerebral blood volume (all p > 0.05). This study demonstrates that functional near infrared spectroscopy is capable of detecting changes in cortical activity elicited by simulated driving tasks but may be less sensitive to variations in driving workload aggregated over a longer duration.

NA Global Chamber Platform – amely egyesíti a világ főbb nemzeti és transznacionális kereskedelmi és ipari kamarai szervezeteit – 2019 évi felmérése alapján tekintettel a globális gazdaságot fenyegető protekcionizmusra, politikai instabilitásra, továbbá a globális pénzügyi piacok sérülékenységére az egyre nagyobb fokú ellenőrzés és a proaktív szabályozás válik kiemelt fontosságúvá. A piacgazdaság működtetéshez elengedhetetlen, hogy a piaci szereplők számára megfelelő minőségű információ álljon rendelkezésre a gazdálkodók vagyoni-, pénzügyi- és jövedelmi helyzetének alakulásáról. Ezen információkat a „pénzügyi számvitel” szabályozott előírásai szerint készített és nyilvánosságra hozott számviteli beszámolók szolgáltatják. A számviteli beszámolók (pénzügyi kimutatások) által nyújtott kép megbízhatóságát, a valóságnak megfelelő voltát számos előírás és garanciális elem szolgálja. Az egyik ilyen garanciális elem a független könyvvizsgálat intézménye. Tényleges függetlenség azonban úgy vélem nem érvényesülhet teljes egészében. Így jelen cikk célja egyrészről, hogy összefoglalja az államháztartás működési és pénzügyi ellenőrzésének rendszerét, jogszabályi hátterét, valamint betekintést adjon a könyvvizsgálati függetlenség értelmezésébe a szakirodalmak összegyűjtésével és rendszerezésével, lényegük kiemelésével és közzétételével.

Multi-Organ System Dysfunction in Covid-19 – A Review
Authors: Bhadoria Pooja , Rathore Harsha
Published: March 2021

With a continuous increase in Covid-19 cases, patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 have shown a wide variety of symptoms including fever, shortness of breath, cough, myalgia, dizziness, headache, impaired consciousness, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Lab studies have shown higher leukocyte counts and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), decreased lymphocytes, increased prothrombin time and a partial thromboplastin time, increased serum lactate dehydrogenase, ferritin and various other markers, indicating multiple organ system dysfunction including respiratory system, immune system, nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Apart from these, heart and kidneys are also found to be affected in some patients. Patients presenting with previous history of diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, pregnant females, neonates, immunosuppressed patients, and aged people have shown poor prognosis of disease. Various studies suggest possible reasons of multiple organ dysfunctions including wide distribution of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptors, cytokine storm and hypercoagulability of blood. We have listed the various organ systems affected by the virus and possible explanations as to why and how these organ systems are affected. SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has caused a global pandemic, with more than 33,400,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19, including more than 1,000,000 deaths, reported to World Health Organization (WHO) globally till 30 September 2020. 1 with a basic reproductive number estimated to be 2.2 (1.4 - 3.9) the virus spread is very fast affecting many individuals across the globe. 2 One of the major causes of efficient spread of SARS-CoV-2 in humans is the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors, used by the virus to enter the cells. 3 Hence, wide distribution of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors in body including lungs, kidney, bladder, gastrointestinal tract, heart, central nervous system and peripheral nervous system4 and even placenta5 is one of the reasons the virus is found to affect these organs. Two closely related viruses causing Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) were also found to affect multiple organ systems. SARS‐CoV-1 was found in the respiratory pathway (trachea, bronchus, lung), gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small intestines), glands (sweat gland, liver, pancreas, parathyroid, pituitary, adrenal gland), renal system (convoluted renal tubules) and brain tissue (cerebrum) in the autopsy samples of patients who died because of severe acute respiratory syndrome. 6 Respiratory, circulatory, gastrointestinal, haematological, renal and hepatological symptoms were also found to be affected in patients with Middle East respiratory syndrome infection. 7 Though the virus is found to affect multiple organ systems, the underlying mechanisms are not clearly understood.
Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) in Haemolytic Anaemia – A Case Report

Published: March 2021

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a sporadic disease commonly presenting as headache, vomiting, visual disturbances, seizures and confusion. Acute changes in blood pressure are commonly associated with this. 1 It is understood that many medical conditions and medicines raise the risk of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. We report an unusual case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in patient with autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. Due to the advancement and affordability of brain imaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), identification of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is possible. A high index of suspicion and prompt treatment can decrease the morbidity, decrease mortality and result in an early recovery. Haemolysis is the premature destruction of erythrocytes. Haemolysis expedites to haemolytic anaemia when the increased loss of red blood cells cannot be replaced by bone marrow activity. Immune haemolysis is a shortening of the survival of red blood cells due to antibodies, either directly or indirectly. Autoantibodies or alloantibodies can be such antibodies. In order to choose suitable blood for transfusion, these atypical antibodies have to be detected in the patient's serum.

En la actualidad, el estrés infantil representa un factor ascendente y silencioso que influye negativamente en la salud de los niños. En la presente investigación se estudió la prevalencia de estrés en una muestra representativa de 255 escolares entre 9 y 10 años de edad (132 niñas y 123 niños), que cursaban el cuarto año de primaria en la Ciudad Tuxtla Gutiérrez Chiapas, México. Se aplicó el Inventario de Estrés Infantil de Vega, posteriormente, en los padres de los niños con estrés marcado se les realizó una entrevista cerrada encaminada a detectar disfuncionalidad familiar. Se encontró un alto porcentaje de estrés marcado (43.1%), con predominio en las niñas (27%), en la entrevista de los padres fue comúnmente referida la disolución conyugal. Las diferencias en la percepción del estrés influenciada por el sexo podría explicar el predomino del estrés en las niñas, mientras que la disolución conyugal fue acorde con la estadística sociodemográfica de la región y encuadra con los factores generadores de estrés. La anterior información debería ser tomada en cuenta para el diseño de las políticas estatales de salud, a fin de frenar el impacto negativo del estrés en el perfil de crecimiento y desarrollo de la sociedad

Published: March 2021

Ferenc Balázs served as a rapporteur of minority education directly under the administration of the Ministry of Religion and Education between 1938 and 1944. Almost the whole area of Transdanubia (so-called ’Dunántúl’) belonged to his competence. His task was to observe the introduction of the unified education system, then to monitor the transition to full native language education from 1941. There have been many obstacles to both of the systems. In addition to these, he had to take into account the activity of the Volksbund, which acted decisively; Balázs was able to handle these situations objectively based on the documemted events. He examined hundreds of schools, the results were regularly reported to the Ministry. He did not only deal with the effectiveness of the national education system in a narrow sense, but also with issues related to public education in general: the condition of school buildings, deficiencies in equipment, the social and health status of children, the training of teachers. Moreover he has been involved in major events affecting the day-to-day running of schools, such as secret ballots prior to the introduction of full native language education, inspection of the language skills of teachers, supervising the preparation of curriculum and syllabus, but for example, he also translated the text of the prayer used in teaching to German.

Approach variability in melanoma surgery is more likely to be artificially created and refers mainly to: 1) the surgical safety margins; 2) the clinician’s compliance with the patient’s choice to pre-define these margins for a better cosmetic outcome; 3) the interval within which re-excisions may be carried out; 4)discrepancy between the clinically respected and histologically established tumor resection margins; 5)as well as the lack of additional guidelines for re-excisions within the already established differences between the clinically and histologically established resection margin. These ʺinaccuraciesʺ make it difficult to implement the current guidelines and often lead to confusion. We assume that the approach variability is for sure not established and based only on the opinion of the so-called ‘expert groups’!

Authors: Penev Julian , Bakardzhiev Ilko , Gospodinova Margarita
Published: March 2021

Tuberous sclerosis (Morbus Bourneville-Pringle) is a rare, multisystemic,autosomal dominant disease, associated with a mutation of either of two genes TSC1 and TSC2, responsible for synthesis of proteins hamartin and tuberin - tumor growth suppressing factors, involved in cell proliferation and differentiation processes. Perhaps the most common findings of TS are angiophibromas - cutaneous manifestations of the disease, serving as clinical pointers to the diagnosis. Different methods are being used to treat facial angiofibromas with little or no success. Treatment with CO2 laser ablation can provide fruitful results in removing facial angiofibromas. Presented is a case of a 40 year-old female patient, diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis with multiple facial angiofibromas, subjected to CO2 laser ablation.
Meta-Learning: Concept Analysis

Meta-learning, a contemporary learning paradigm, will be analysed in this article. This study aims to analyse and conceptualize the definition of metalearning, to provide evidence for the application of metalearning to learning, and to single out and name the features that allow the development of metalearning in the context of self-directed learning. To reach this goal, the concept model of Walker and Avant, involving a theoretical analysis of the concept, was selected. To reveal the theoretical concept of metalearning, the analysis of scientific publications of Lithuanian and foreign authors in the field of education and training was performed, using data collection and data analysis methods. The analysis of the concept of metalearning allows us to state that metalearning is not possible without self-regulation (self-control, self-awareness, self-reflection), reflection, independence and responsibility. Metalearning competence includes the intrinsic motivation and conscious cognitive activities of the learner; it seeks to understand and manage their thinking processes, it understands memory processes, selects the best learning methods according to the existing conditions and circumstances, organizes an optimal learning environment in the learner community, and, finally, directs the learner toward a positive experience in the process. Metalearning is complex learning that includes the integration, selection, and application of individual needs, opportunities, and teaching strategies. It emphasizes successful, perceptual learning, the application and continuous pursuit of existing knowledge, personal qualities, self-motivation, and reflection.According to Mylona (2012), the weakness and lack of empirical research on meta-learning is a consequence of the lack of focus on existing systems to clearly define all constructs that would be more actively involved in meta-learning and help overcome emerging learning challenges.
