Syrian Asylum Seekers and The Question of Living in Turkey or Returning to Their Home Country: Mardin Case
Authors: TANRIKULU Faik , DOĞAN Sibel
Published: October 2020

Turkey, having faced mass migration since April 2011, has been the country hosting world’s largest population asylum seekers. Within Turkey, the question as to whether Syrians will return to their country has often been the subject of debate. The main objective of the study is to discuss and evaluate the issue of Syrians living in Turkey for short, medium, and long-term periods. This study, via a survey, empirically examines the situation of Syrians from multiple perspectives on their returning tendency. The results of face to face interviews with 284 Syrian asylum seekers in Mardin have been reviewed and according to the results, 56.3% of them are reluctant to leave Turkey. In addition, the Social Adaptation Self-evaluation Scale (SASS), another assessment tool applied in the study, argued that there was no significant relationship between the social adaptations of the asylum seekers and their tendency to return to their home countries (p>0.05). The low, medium, or high levels of social cohesion of asylum seekers do not affect their views on returning. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that 60.0% of individuals who have spent 5 years and more in Turkey do not plan to return to their home country.

Career Progression of Women Academics in Pakistani Universities: Enablers and Barriers
Authors: Dr. Saeeda Shah  , Ms. Samra Bashir  , Dr. Muhammad Amin
Published: October 2020

There is a dramatic increase in the number of women students in higher educational institutions but this had not been matched by growth in the number of women in senior leadership positions in Pakistani Universities. The current study was designed to explore the barriers and enablers that influence the professional development of women academics in Pakistan. Furthermore, the study investigated how female academicians manage the balance in their personal and professional life. Semi-structured interviews followed by a probing strategy were conducted to seek responses to these questions. 10 female academicians were selected purposively from two public sector universities of Lahore. Thematic analysis was conducted by using an inductive approach. Member check was applied for the reliability of themes drawn from the data. Each theme was explored in-depth and themes emerged from a smaller number of women were treated separately under the category of unique theme. Women considered their professional career development as a source of pride and gratification. Women academicians at the senior level enjoyed leadership roles as compared to young academicians; who were more involved in teaching and research. Females complained that they had not the information on policies relevant to their job and merit is neglected most of the time by higher authorities. Females claimed that they faced a biased attitude of their senior male colleagues/heads of departments but were highly motivated to face these challenges at the workplace.

Authors: Hudeček Tomáš
Published: October 2020

The article deals with accessibility of individual car transportation. It uses the GIS approach to focus on development of an accessibility model and on three main related issues: digital model of road network, factors influencing average speed and discussion on average speed. Two digital models were done for the territory of Czechia for the years of 1991 and 2001 censi, Le. before and after the transformation. The aim is to find out what changes occurred during the transformation and to use them in other geographical analyses. Two. maps with isochronic surfaces are enclosed to demonstrate the functionality of the models.
Impact of snow conditions on selected periglacial landforms in the eastern part of the Krkonoše Mountains
Authors: Janásková Barbora
Published: October 2020

The paper deals with the influence of snow conditions on periglacial landforms. The research was carried out on four study sites in the summit parts of the Krkonoše Mountains with occurrence of recently active periglacial landforms (solifluction lobes, ploughing blocks, peat hummocks and sorted circles). Depth and duration of snow cover were measured there two years. Regularities in snow distribution were evaluated and compared with the position of selected periglacial landforms. The results prove that there is a close relationship between the low snow cover and occurrence of sorted circles and that the distribution of peat hummocks has not any connection with snow cover. Relationships between solifluction lobes and ploughing blocks and snow were rather ambiguous.
Religious landscape in Czechia: New structures and trends
Authors: Havlíček Tomáš , Hupková Martina
Published: October 2020

The intent of this paper is to analyse trends and processes in the religious landscape in Czechia during the transformation period. In Czechia, society has been secularized to an extent unprecedented in the rest of Europe. The paper also uses the term sacralization of landscape, which is primarily connected with the restoration of sacred places. It has often been used in this context after 1989, creating a certain contradiction to the general trend of secularisation in Czech society and to the diversification, near disintegration, of religious communities. This research attempts to monitor the main reasons for the transformation of sacral objects as well as to seek fundamental consequences of these changes with the examples of select locations.
Development of environmental stress in the northwestern part of Czechia: New approaches and methods
Authors: Balej Martin , Anděl Jiří , Oršulák Tomáš , Raška Pavel
Published: October 2020

This article deals with the theoretical background to environmental stress theory that includes a multivariables system of indicators and the application of such theory. The environmental stress lies at the intersection of the stressors in the subsystems of a landscape, that is: natural (e.g. relief topography, air, water, soil, and biota) and/or social (e.g. demographic and economic variables). The methodological concept used can be applied to other areas of study because of its broader spatial and functional applications. In comparison to other methodologies used to evaluate the anthropopressures on the landscape (those that monitor changes in land use), the environmental stress assessment is directed at locating 'stressors' beyond the study areas that can significantly impact on future studies.
Spectral Study of Two Carbanion Mono-substituted 4�-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-1-ium Phenacylids in Binary Protic Solvents
Authors: (Dulcescu) Oprea Mihaela Maria , Melniciuc Puica Nicoleta , Gritco-Todirascu Antonina , Dorohoi Dana Ortansa
Published: October 2020

The visible electronic absorption band of two 4�-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-1-ium phenacylids was studied in two binary solvents: water (1) + ethanol (2) and water (1) + methanol (2) with variable content in water. The nature and the contribution of the intermolecular interactions to the spectral shifts in ternary solutions of the studied ylids were estimated based on the Kamlet Taft parameters (�*, a and a) previously measured by Buhvestov and all. The influence of the universal and specific interactions on the visible electronic band of the studied ylids depends on the water concentration in binary solvent. At small water concentrations in binary solvent, the hydrogen complexes of the type ylid-alcohol are predominant, while at high water concentrations, the complexes made by hydrogen bonds between water and ylid molecules prevail. The difference between the energies corresponding to molecular pairs of the types: ylid-water and ylid-alcohol was estimated based on the statistic cell model of the ternary solutions.
Experimental Investigation of Two-Phase Flow Bubble Characteristics in Small Bubble Column using Electrical Capacitance Tomography
Authors: Abdulkareem Lokman A.
Published: October 2020

The present study has been carried out to investigate the characterization of two-phase flow bubbles that occurred in a column of an internal diameter 50 mm, where the liquid phase is represented in Silicone oil. The effectiveness of the tomography technique regarding the flow patterns analysis is studied as well as, high-speed videos were captured and used in the study. The void fractions of the time series were obtained at different flow rates were considered, and the results were analyzed also by using Probability Density Functions (PDF), film thickness, velocity structure, and Power Spectrum Density (PSD). To obtain the structure velocity, two tomography capacitance sensors were utilized so as to do cross-correlation, besides, the obtained videos were considered also to show the different bubble characteristics. A comparison was assessed between the previously available works of literature with the present study to evaluate the results. It was observed from the obtained tomography images that the flow was in the slug flow region explained by the presence of large bullet-shaped bubbles and the bubble characteristics obtained were comparable to that observed in other viscous liquids. Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) was quite effective in investigating the flow.
The Effect of Cellulose Acetate in the Inhibition of Bacteria: an Alternative for Antimicrobial Resistance
Authors: Nichita Ileana , Lupa Lavinia , Gros Radu Valentin , Visa Aurelia , Popa Adriana , Bucur Iulia , Tirziu Emil
Published: October 2020

Cellulose acetate (CA) is one of the most important esters of cellulose and it was analyzed by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and EDX spectra. The FT-IR spectrum presented both the C=O and C�O stretching bands for acetyl groups. The EDX spectrum confirms the presence of C and O elements. The SEM image presented a spongy structure that is important for many applications. The antimicrobial properties of cellulose acetate solutions in acetic acid were determined in tests on two gram-negative species (Pseudomonas aeruginosa - ATCC 27853 and Escherichia coli - ATCC 25822), two gram-positive species (Staphylococus aureus - ATCC 29213 and Streptococcus pyogenes - ATCC 19615) and yeast species (Candida albicans - ATCC 10231). We have shown that samples of cellulose acetate solutions in acetic acid can be used to fight microbial and fungal infections. Of the gram-positive species tested, the strongest antimicrobial effect was observed against S. aureus. The diameter of inhibition zones of cellulose acetate solutions in acetic acid (P1 and P2) for S. aureus far exceeded inhibition zone both of reference substance (gentamicin) and of acetic acid solutions (M1 and M2), given values between 3.15 cm (P1) and 3.55 cm (P2). Also, the results suggested that the studied solutions (P1 and P2) had an antimicrobial effect pronounced for gram-negative species as P. aeruginosa, in which the P1 sample gave an inhibition zone of 2.95 cm, and the P2 sample achieved an inhibition of 3.15 cm. So, the antimicrobial activity of cellulose acetate solutions tested in vitro had a good antimicrobial effect, proportional to the concentration of the active substance.

Published: October 2020

Nitrocellulose based propellants are the main materials used for ballistic and rocket applications. The chemical composition of the propellants, the loading density and propellant grain geometry are the decisive parameters that influence the performance parameters in ballistic application. In this paper the authors evaluate three models of combustion for energetic materials for the determination of heat of explosion and specific volume together with the adiabatic flame temperature. The authors select six types of propellant (two simple base propellants, two double base propellants based on nitroglycerine and two triple base propellants based on nitroguanidine) and the authors determined the heat of explosion and specific volume using a bomb calorimeter and a Julius-Peters device. The results obtained from the combustion models were compared to the experimental results and assumptions were done on the influence of pressure and temperature on the chemical composition of combustion gases produced by the confined deflagration of nitrocellulose-based propellants.
Oxidation Behavior of Nickel Based Alloys in Supercritical Water Environment
Authors: Galan Florentina , Ducu Marian Catalin , Fulger Manuela , Negrea Denis Aurelian
Published: October 2020

Corrosion resistance is a key performance factor for engineering materials used in the supercritical water-cooled reactors (SCWR). Choosing the materials with the best characteristics in the corrosive environment for SCWR, at high temperatures and pressures, is a real challenge for many researchers. Therefore, this paper aims to test two nickel-based alloys (Incoloy 800HT and Inconel 718) and to analyze the microstructures of the samples following exposure in a supercritical environment. Oxidation tests were performed at high temperature and pressure (550oC, 25MPa) for up to 70 days. The samples were investigated using gravimetric corrosion test and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). The results obtained can be used in future research of the test protocol to identify alloys that could be used for SCWR components.

Authors: Topal Nurdogan , Bulduk Ibrahim , Mut Zeki , Bozodlu Hatice , Tosun Yener Kortan
Published: October 2020

Honey is nectar collected from plants and produced by honeybees Apis mellifera. It has variable sensory and bioochemical properties due to climate and environmental conditions as well as the different origins of the plants in which it is harvested. Studies have shown that the antioxidant potential of honey varies greatly with the source of flowers. Vicia faba L. also known in Turkey as `bakla,` is a genus of the family Fabaceae that is widely grown in Asia. It is abundant in L-DOPA, a therapeutic agent used in Parkinson`s disease diagnosis. In this study, a sample of honey has been obtained from a monofloral source in the greenhouse environment where only vicia faba l. was found. The biochemical properties and antioxidant activities of this honey sample were studied. Vicia faba L. flowers grown in greenhouse conditions and pollen and honey produced by bees fed from this flowers were analyzed with HPLC method. The results were quite surprising. L-DOPA content is 4.23% in flowers, 0.98% in pollen and 0.076% in honey. This leads to the conclusion that Parkinson`s patients can continue treatment by using only pollen and honey produced by bees that feed on Vicia faba L. flowers. In addition, antioxidant activity of flowers, pollen and honey was analyzed by spectrophotometric methods. Parallel results were obtained with the results previously studies.

RECEPTION OF THE FOREIGNNESS – MIGRANT LITERATURE AS CULTURAL
TRANSFER
Authors: Mihailova Antoaneta , Minkova Kalina
Published: October 2020

The article reviews the distinction between emigrant, immigrant and migrant literature from the perspective
of the contemporary Bulgarian literary criticism. The body of emigrant literature is regarded as comprising the works of nineteenthcentury Bulgarian authors (Rakovski, Karavelov, Vazov) who wrote in Bulgarian and intended their works for the Bulgarian
readership. The works from the first half of the twentieth century, written in Bulgarian by Bulgarian authors living mostly in
Germany and France, are perceived as part of the Bulgarian literature from this period on the grounds of their engaging with themes
recognized as characteristically Bulgarian (Elisaveta Bagryana, Pencho Slaveykov, Kiril Hristov, Svetoslav Minkov etc.). The
Bulgarian intellectuals who moved to Western Europe in three immigrant waves after 1944, however, wrote in the language of the
country in which they settled. This is the reason why Bulgarian literary criticism did not acknowledge their works as part of
Bulgarian literature.
The authors this article deals with – Ilija Trojanov, Dimitre Dinev and Tzveta Sofronieva – do not deny their Bulgarian
origins. They have chosen to write in German in order to be understood by readers in their new country. The German-speaking
readership regards them as mediators between Bulgarian history, traditions and culture and the German, respectively Austrian,
society precisely because they have rendered Bulgarians and the Bulgarian past in a language that is easy to understand. The interest
in Bulgarian authors writing in languages other than Bulgarian in Western Europe peaked in the years immediately preceding and
following Bulgaria’s accession to the European Union as the Western European citizens wanted to find out more about the new
country in the Union. With their established reputation as eminent artists, these authors continue to cast a bridge between the two
cultures. Their works keep being translated into many different languages and have won prestigious international awards.
BORROWINGS IN THE LEXICAL SYSTEM OF YUZHINETS DIALECT OF THE
KITZMAN DISTRICT OF CHERNOVTSI REGION
Authors: Rusnak Natalia , Rusnak Yulia
Published: October 2020

In modern society there are two ambivalent trends – globalization and humanization. In the
humanization line we observe an interest to such linguistic fields as dialectology. Research of dialect speech has become
especially relevant. Nowadays dictionaries and monographic descriptions of individual dialects are made.
The village Yuzhinets of the Kitsmansky district of the Chernivtsi region as part of Northern Bukovina has passed
a difficult historical path. The course of historical events left traces in the vocabulary of Bukovinian dialects. A specific
feature of Yuzhinets dialect vocabulary is borrowed dialectisms. In Yuzhinets dialect a lot of dialectisms which were
borrowed from the Romanian, Polish, German languages function; they also have preserved the Turkic, Greek, Latin,
Russian, Czech and Bulgarian elements. A large number of Yuzhinets dialectisms of the Kitsmansky district of the
Chernivtsi region are original Ukrainian words whose source is the Pre-Slavic language, which testify to a single linguisticshaped world of the Ukrainian nation. Among the borrowed dialectisms of the village of Yuzhinets we can distinguish
several groups: words which were borrowed with the same meaning and adapted to the phonetic and grammatical patterns of
the dialect language; words, whose meaning was changed and adapted by the lexico-semantic dialect system. Some
dialecticisms have come a long way in forming, getting from one language to another, changing their meaning. For some
borrowed dialectictisms of the village of Yuzhinets the Bulgarian language has become an intermediary language.

Exploiting Orbital Constraints from Optical Data to Detect Binary Gamma-Ray Pulsars
Authors: Nieder L. , Allen B. , Clark C. J. , Pletsch H. J.
Published: October 2020

It is difficult to discover pulsars via their gamma-ray emission because current instruments typically detect fewer than one photon per million rotations. This creates a significant computing challenge for isolated pulsars, where the typical parameter search space spans wide ranges in four dimensions. It is even more demanding when the pulsar is in a binary system, where the orbital motion introduces several additional unknown parameters. Building on earlier work by Pletsch & Clark, we present optimal methods for such searches. These can also incorporate external constraints on the parameter space to be searched, for example, from optical observations of a presumed binary companion. The solution has two parts. The first is the construction of optimal search grids in parameter space via a parameter space metric, for initial semicoherent searches and subsequent fully coherent follow-ups. The second is a method to demodulate and detect the periodic pulsations. These methods have different sensitivity properties than traditional radio searches for binary pulsars and might unveil new populations of pulsars.

Observations and Modeling of the Onset of Fast Reconnection in the Solar Transition Region
Authors: Guo L.-J. , Pontieu Bart De , Huang Y.-M. , Peter H. , Bhattacharjee A.
Published: October 2020

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process that plays a critical role not only in energy release in the solar atmosphere, but also in fusion, astrophysics, and other space plasma environments. One of the challenges in explaining solar observations in which reconnection is thought to play a critical role is to account for the transition of the dynamics from a slow quasi-continuous phase to a fast and impulsive energetic burst of much shorter duration. Despite the theoretical progress in identifying mechanisms that might lead to rapid onset, a lack of observations of this transition has left models poorly constrained. High-resolution spectroscopic observations from NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph now reveal tell-tale signatures of the abrupt transition of reconnection from a slow phase to a fast, impulsive phase during UV bursts or explosive events in the Sun's atmosphere. Our observations are consistent with numerical simulations of the plasmoid instability, and provide evidence for the onset of fast reconnection mediated by plasmoids and new opportunities for remote-sensing diagnostics of reconnection mechanisms on the Sun.
Occasional photographic records of butterflies (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea) in Cambodia: 3, Pursat, Siem Reap, Preah Vihear and Stung Treng Provinces in western, north-western and northern Cambodia

Published: October 2020

Abstract

The butterfly (Papilionoidea) fauna of Cambodia is very rich but too insufficiently studied. Results are presented of occasional photographic records of butterflies (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea) made in 2016–2019 (some also in 2006) along with studies on the Odonata fauna in 67 localities of western and northern provinces of Cambodia: Pursat, Siem Reap, Preah Vihear and Stung Treng. This paper completes the two previous communications of this series devoted to the south-western and eastern provinces of this country. In total, 162 identified and 13 provisionally identified species are listed; 22 species (Miletus ancon, Arhopala agrata, A. alesia, A. allata, A. ammonides, A. atrax, A. aurelia, A. moolaiana, A. silhetensis, Drupadia theda, Anthene licates, Prosotas aluta, Danaus chrysippus, Cirrochroa surya, Doleschallia bisaltide, Athyma ranga, Euthalia recta, Burara oedipodea, Hasora chromus, Pseudocoladenia dan, Koruthalaios sindu, Parnara ganga) are for the first time reported in literature for Cambodia. These and some problematic species are illustrated. Some misidentifications in the two first communications of the series are made; due to reidentification Arhopala camdana and Borbo cinnara are for the first time reported for Cambodia in literature.

Although the implications of submission and domination sexual fantasies in the general public remain unclear, evidence continues to emerge of a higher prevalence than that suggested by early research. This study identified respondent subsets who acknowledged recurrent (“over 80% of the time”) fantasies of either “asserting dominance over someone” or “being humiliated or made to suffer” by a sexual partner. These domination (

= 97, 12.1%) and humiliation (
n
= 37, 4.6%) groups were contrasted with comparison (
n
= 649) respondents who reported never engaging in either fantasy. Both domination and humiliation fantasy contents were associated with hypersexuality, maladaptive personality traits (ie, antagonistic, disinhibited, and psychoticism), and elevated risk of sexual addiction. Victimization by childhood sexual abuse was higher (relative risk = 2.69,
P
= .007) among the women in the humiliation group. These results contribute to an equivocal evidentiary base regarding the extent and impact of sadomasochistic sexual fantasizing in the general public.

THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF FOOD WASTE
Authors: Podjed Dan , Polajnar Horvat Katarina
Published: October 2020

In recent years, food waste has become an important issue that attracts attention from scientists, consumers, and activists. According to the World Bank, one third of food produced for human consumption is wasted. In Slovenia, almost 131,800 tons of food waste were generated in 2017, or 64 kg per person on average. This article presents the findings of a study on household food waste in Slovenia and, more specifically, its capital, Ljubljana. The authors studied food waste management using a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches (i.e., a survey and an ethnographic study). These approaches were combined in order to obtain a broader picture of waste management and explain how, when, and why people “transform” food into waste.
Vidal (Ben) Saúl Satorre, copista hebreo (1383-1411)
Authors: Blasco Martinez Asunción , Romano David
Published: October 2020

Datos biográficos del copista Vidal Saúl Satorre = Ḥayyim Migdolí, que copió al menos dos Biblias en hebreo, fechadas en Cervera (1383) y en Zaragoza (1404). Gracias a la investigación archivística se le documenta esporádicamente en Lérida (1353) y Cervera (1385), y con bastante frecuencia en Zaragoza durante dos décadas ( 1389-1411 ), durante las cuales se le menciona con los diferentes nombres o grafías de Vidal Satorre, Vidal Saúl y Vidal Saúl Satorre. A pesar de su concisión, estas noticias revisten gran interés, más que para la personalidad artística del personaje, porque son muy escasos los documentos de archivo relacionados con copistas de manuscritos hebreos en la Edad Media.

Judíos y conversos en el teatro portugués pre-vicentino. La Farsa do Alfaiate en el Cancioneiro Geral de Garcia de Resende
Authors: Faingold Reuven
Published: October 2020

El presente articulo es un trabajo de síntesis acerca de la imagen del judío y del cristiano nuevo en la literatura portuguesa, desde sus albores, a finales del siglo XII, hasta la consolidación del teatro de Gil Vicente, a principios del siglo XVI. Contra­riamente a lo aceptado por la historiografía, a partir de una nueva interpretación de fuentes cristianas y judías, hemos demostrado que la imagen del judío reflejada en los diversos géneros literarios portugueses (arremedillos, cancioneros, entremeses y farsas) no debe considerarse en modo alguno como el resultado de contiendas puramente literarias, inofensivas e indiferentes, sino como ingrediente de importante valor, que contribuyó indiscutiblemente a deteriorar la diaria convivencia judeocris­tiana en los diversos círculos lusitanos. Presumimos que esta tendencia manifestada por la literatura palaciega -perfectamente documentada en el clima registrado en la Farsa do Alfaiate y en la caracterización de su personaje central Manuel (Menachem)­dejó, sin lugar a dudas, marcadas huellas en los espíritus lusitanos más- cultos de la época.

Students’ Perceptions and Information-Sharing Patterns in Learning Authoring System Course through Blogging
Authors: Abdul Kadir Nur Izzah , Tasir Zaidatun
Published: October 2020

The use of blogs in teaching and learning has emerged as a useful education-al technology resource. Hence, this study’s objective is to investigate the students’ perception of blogs and the blog usage patterns from the educa-tional aspect. Eighteen samples were chosen purposively in this study. The study collected both qualitative and quantitative data. The research instru-ments were questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and students’ blogs. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the data collected was an-alysed descriptively and thematically. The results revealed the positive outcomes of students’ perceptions of blog aspects such as writing, reading and making comments. In terms of blog usage patterns, student frequencies in writing and sharing information in blogs were high when they were given tasks or activities that would be evaluated by an instructor. This showed that instructors play an important role in motivating the students to be ac-tively involved in blogs. Therefore, rewards or marks need to be given as an encouragement to the students for them to continuously and actively use blogs for learning.
Impersonation Attack-Defense Tree
Authors: Rosmansyah Yusep , Hendarto Ignatius Leo Sri , Pratama Demby
Published: October 2020

Nowadays, online learning or e-learning has become increasingly popular and evolved. Many academic institutions use the Learning Management System (LMS) as a medium for delivering e-learning. A vital feature in such a system is the electronic examination (e-exam), where verifying student’s authentic competence is a challenge. This paper aims to present countermeasures for impersonation attacks. This research was a more focused effort and a continuation of previously owned one and many others found in works of literature. The method of protection is presented in the form of an attack-defense tree model.

Socio-Economic Profiling of Students and its Impact on Learning Outcomes
Authors: Owoseni Abraham , Ibem Eziyi , Opoko Akunnaya
Published: October 2020

Every student has a need; and the topmost aspiration of every student is to be self-fulfilled with commendable performance in school. For this aspiration to be achieved, many factors such as the kind of learning environment, teaching methods, socio-economic background, students’ motivation amongst others have been found as precursors. In this context, socio-economic characteristics of students include gender, age, class, daily means of transportation to school, geographical location of the school, type of residential accommodation they lived in, its ownership amongst others. This paper presents findings of a study carried out to measure the impact of socio-economic profiling of students on their academic performance. Quantitative data were collected from twelve sampled secondary schools: nine private owned schools and three public owned schools across three senatorial districts in Lagos State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling technique was adopted using a hybrid of three techniques: purposive sampling, quota and random sampling to select the approved schools, group them in quota and final selection of respondents respectively. A total of 674 copies of the questionnaire were administered by hand during the first term of the 2018/2019 academic session. A total of 488 were analysed using descriptive statistics, cross tabulation and regression analysis. The result identified that amongst several socio-economic characteristics of learners, the geographical location of the school, type of school (private or public) and learning styles of students have more significance to impacting students’ learning outcomes. It further shows the comparative results of its impact between private schools and public schools in the study area. This paper recommends that instilling internal motivation in students irrespective of their socio-economic background can boost their self-esteem and self-actualisation. This will in turn influence their performance favourably.
Digital Teaching Competence and Space Competence with TPACK in Social Sciences
Authors: Gómez-Trigueros Isabel María
Published: October 2020

Research on training in knowledge related to geolocation with technologies shows the training potentials and limitations that these resources offer for teachers in training. This study examines the perceptions of the instructional effectiveness of mobile devices and geolocation software, by analyzing the performance in the TPACK skills dimensions of future teachers (n = 421). A mixed methodology has been implemented, with a descriptive cross-sectional approach as well as inferential analysis based on a questionnaire (α ≥ .918) and the tasks carried out by the sample. The results show a poor didactic use of technologies while confirming the acquisition of knowledge about geolocation. This corroborates the benefits of applying an improvement in the digital competence of teachers in training.
Serious Game Design: Presenting a New Generic Creative Reflection Framework
Authors: El Arroum Fatima-Zohra , Hanoune Mostafa , Zidoun Youness
Published: October 2020

Serious games are transcending the way of teaching and learning nowadays. Since serious games balance playful and educational aspects, it constitutes a privileged learning method for the digital natives. However, they are ubiquitous in today's society and their stakes and assets remain largely fuzzy. This paper describes different models and frameworks for serious game design. Between theoretical and technical consideration, authors propose a new reflection model that aims to help pedagogues guiding their conception of serious games. This model is a result of a thematic synthesis analyzing more than 40 texts offering a three-layered model covering the simplest to the most advanced design. Three study cases are announced to be conducted by the end of this year in order to challenge and evaluate this new model.
Factors Affecting Mathematics Achievement In Central Asian Specialized Universities
Authors: Sapazhanov Yershat , Orynbassar Alibek , Kadyrov Shirali , Sydykhov Bakhyt
Published: October 2020

This study examines variables explaining student’s academic performances in mathematics from specialized engineering institutions. A survey consisting of 42 items was conducted from 127 students and statistical multiple regression was carried out to analyze the data set. Based on Fennema-Sherman Mathematics Attitude Scales followed by the result of stepwise linear regression, found a significant impact of high school geometry grades in mathematics performance. Au-thors suggest that mathematics instructors in higher education should pay attention to improve their student’s confidence, which in turn would decrease the anxiety level towards mathematics. The high school teachers should not advise their students to go to technical sciences in higher education unless the student’s confidence and high school math grade are sufficiently high
