Professional Textbooks in English Didactics: Authors’ Perspectives
Authors: Munden Juliet , Perez Meissner Catharine Veronica
Published: July 2022

This chapter is based on interviews with fifteen authors whose professional textbooks in English didactics are currently on the reading lists for the five-year teacher education programme in Norway called the lektor programme. The chapter starts by defining the genre of the professional textbook, and reviewing relevant research and terminology, before describing the digital interview and transcription processes. Of the many topics raised in the interviews, the following are highlighted in this chapter: the ways in which authors select their writing and publishing partners; how they address their intended reader; how they relate to perceived conventions about what sort of texts belong in a professional textbook; the reasons why student teachers need textbooks; and the varying emphasis placed on different kinds of knowledge: research, theory, repertoire and contextualisation in relation to the current school curriculum. The chapter ends with a summary of the authors’ predictions for the genre, and a discussion of the role that the national accreditation system, CRISTIN, should, but does not yet, play in ensuring the vitality and quality of textbooks in both English didactics and other professions.
From Survival to Thriving Mode in EAP Classrooms in the Emergency Online Teaching: Student Perceptions of Learning-Oriented Assessment in Higher Education
Authors: Göktürk Saglam Asli Lidice
Published: July 2022

Learning-oriented assessment (LOA) has gained attention as a classroom-based assessment approach because it is used to stimulate learning through assessment by focusing on actively engaging students in assessment and feedback. Although prior research has examined LOA from multiple vantage points, there is a lack of research on its implementation in online learning and how different stakeholders perceive the impact of online LOA practices. This chapter reports on a mixed method study exploring students’ perceptions of the LOA approach based on an integrated assessment task (reading/listening-to-writing/speaking) and used within the scope of an EAP program in a Turkish context to study its impact upon learning. Participants included 45 university students who completed an initial questionnaire; 21 of these students then participated in focus group interviews. Findings revealed positive student perceptions of online LOA tasks because of the opportunities these tasks provided for improved language and academic skills, collaboration and dialogue, deeper learning, and longer engagement. In addition, there was evidence of a greater emphasis on teacher feedback over students’ self- and peer evaluations when revising the written report. The findings highlight pedagogical implications for using integrated assessment tasks in online LOA practices.

Educação pós-pandemia
Authors: Mantovani José Pascoal
Published: July 2022

Este artigo reflete sobre a decolonização como resposta ao fenômeno de desumanização manifestado no período de pandemia. O imbróglio que pautou essa análise foi: em que medida a decolonialidade contribui para o enfrentamento da desumanização evidenciada no período da pandemia da Covid-19? O referencial teórico está fundamentado em Laval (2004), Freire (1967; 2011; 2018) e Ballestrin (2013). Os objetivos são: (i) apresentar o impacto da pandemia da Covid-19 na educação brasileira; (ii) descrever práticas de dominação, explicitadas no período pandêmico, as quais fortaleceram a manutenção de subjetividades colonizadas; (iii) enfatizar o papel da perspectiva decolonial como dispositivo de enfrentamento da realidade opressiva. Como resultados da pesquisa, demonstramos a desigualdade social presente na educação e a cultura desumanizadora vigente; logo, a proposição decolonial é viável para a reestruturação de valores.

Authors: Correa Renata Martins , Frate Flavia
Published: July 2022

An era of exponential technological changes marks the current century. The convergence of different processes has changed the way that companies use technology. Thus, the objective of this study is to reveal how companies can achieve digital transformation at the recruitment and selection process through semantic data analysis. The methodological procedures were elaborated in a descriptive exploratory research, through the qualitative method, which consisted of the literature review and documentary analysis. As a result, it was found that technology, by using artificial intelligence, can assist in the analysis of the candidates' responses. Therefore, if a person uses more the pronoun “we”, it may indicate that the person is more sociable, according to the analyzed case. In this way, it is concluded that technology can corroborate for a more assertive hiring in the management of Human Resources, and then increase efficiency in recruitment and selection activities. Therefore, the future of work will be marked by advanced technologies.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF HUSBAND AUTHORITY TO THE WIFE POLITICAL RIGHTS
Authors: Suryana Yana
Published: July 2022

This research aimed to show the relationship of husband authority in the form of intervention on wife political rights. The collection of data was carried out through interviews, observations, and literature studies in order to help answering the research questions. The results showed that the husband intervened in his wife's political rights. This was what escaped the attention of governments and gender drivers in protecting the political rights of wives. So far, the government has not maximally protected the rights of wives in the public sphere. Whereas the private/family institution is the root of the wife's political rights being unprotected. Thus, the family institution becomes the first place to lose the wife's independence in obtaining her political rights.

Introduction: Based on the grim statistics, the mortality of alcoholic liver disease was in last years the high in the undeveloped countries but and in developed countries in the statistic compared with last years.

Aim: Scope of this work was to discover the patients diagnosed with alcoholic cirrhosis which in time was transformed in Hepatocellular Carcinoma, (HCT) by continue abuse alcohol and which presented, at a previous medical control, with the diagnosis of steatohepatitis after the chronic abuse of alcohol.

Methodology: The retrospective study consisted of 180 patients, adult men (mean age 55 years) and females (mean age = 48) hospitalized and investigated for alcoholic liver diseases. From total cases investigated, 54 cases (30% from of cases admitted in hospital, meaning 27 men and 17 women), which were diagnosed with alcoholic liver cirrhosis in last 5-7 years but in next medical controls were discovered liver cancers in the 6.1% percent.

Results: The majority of patients with uncompensated liver cirrhosis, (70%), have had elevated AST in average 66 U/L value, (N= 5-38U/L). Also, they have had an AST/ALT ratio 1.36, (N = 1.33) and ratio TGP/TGO = 0.95. In the liver carcinogenesis process the report AST/ALT increased in 2.64 value and ratio TGP/TGO decreased in 0.67 value.

Conclusions: The active and rational lifestyle is an essential element in preventing the process of carcinogenesis. Liver disease it's not just how much you drink, but how and when you drink. The treatment of severe alcoholic hepatitis will be necessary in all alcoholic liver diseases centers to prevent hepatic cancer disease.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: COVID-19 infection has spread with the development of the pandemic and is transmitted by respiratory droplets. The level of protection of vaccines administered together with the COVID-19 vaccine is the subject of research. We aimed to examine intensive care patients with Sinovac and Biontech vaccines.

Material and Method: After the approval of the ethics committee, 45 patient data were included in our study. Vaccination status in intensive care units was examined and patients were grouped into Sinovac and Biontech. Age, sex, comorbid conditions, and mortality rates were compared statistically. With this comparison, the effects on mortality and clinical features were evaluated.

Results: Forty-five patients between March 31 and December 31, 2021 were included in the study. In these patients, patients who received 2 doses of vaccine in the period before hospitalization according to the intensive care evaluation criteria were examined. Mortality rates were higher in patients who received 2 doses of Sinovac vaccine in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit compared to those who received 2 doses of Biontech vaccine.

Conclusion: It was observed that the vaccination status of patients who were vaccinated with COVID-19 and taken to the intensive care unit affected mortality. Studies with larger numbers of patients are needed.

Authors: Budden Heather L. , Budden Connie L. , Budden Michael C.
Published: July 2022

The rapid emergence of Covid-19 caught many people off guard worldwide. Online images and videos of patients in Chinese hospitals heralded a pandemic that would negatively impact not just peoples’ health, but would hinder efforts by organizations worldwide, including the operations of most universities. Colleges and universities moved learning to virtual delivery and cancelled on-campus activities with little warning. Students and faculty alike had to adapt to the new reality of forced distance education, isolation, and an uncertain future. As might be expected, the pandemic affected students’ lives in many ways. This article investigates the impact of a stay-at-home order on the health of students in a higher education environment across two semesters during the height of the pandemic.
Competence for Agribusiness Degrees to Support Competence Based Education
Authors: Magumba David
Published: July 2022

A competent graduate is innovative and successful at getting and retaining a job in today’s workplace. Agribusiness industries and organizations are demanding competent graduates mostly youth whose years of experience are close to none and their perfection at industrial production and work floor to some were a mere two-month internship. Universities and other tertiary institutions prepare their students for three to four years by working closely with lecturers and employers. Fruitful collaborations are the only ways how to train competent graduates. Universities can longer work as towers of knowledge offering theoretical lectures away from industries. Competence Based Education (CBE) has gained traction in universities and is the future of education. A review of job descriptions reveals that relevant training programs need to have skills, knowledge, and strategies for attitude change embedded in curricula designed toward delivering a competent graduate.
Solid State Heat Pipe Based Waste Heat Recovery System for Domestic Power Generation at Local Energy Emergencies
Authors: Žofková Alena , Mark Heather , Weerasekera Naveen
Published: July 2022

Through this work, we have studied a thermoelectric generator-based waste heat recovery system with a low response time for fast energy generation under low and high direct normal solar radiations. Under direct normal radiation of 1000 W m-2, a TEG voltage up to~3 V has been observed within a saturation time of~900 s. A large temperature gradient (15000 K/m) is produced between hot and cold ends of the TEG module under a simple application of solid-fluid convective heat exchanger. Our results show the potential of remote heating and heat transfer for TEG power generation for small scale power emergencies.

Published: July 2022

Drinking water is an indispensable commodity for the life and development of the community. Despite the efforts made by the Ivorian government, much remains to be done to relieve the population. The satisfaction of such a need requires detailed and reliable information on the availability of groundwater. This study aims to design a database to manage the drinking water supply projects of the departments of Yamoussoukro and Toumodi from boreholes. The methodological approach used in this study is that of a relational database combining attribute and spatial data. The result of this work is a user-friendly interface that facilitates consultation and data entry on the boreholes. Spatial and statistical analyses show an uneven distribution of boreholes throughout the study area. Furthermore, all the boreholes in these two departments have flow rates classified as low and the most productive alteration thicknesses are between 15 and 30 m. The optimal depth of drilling in this area can be defined between 60 and 90 m. Finally, it appears from this analysis that, among all the lithological formations in these departments, the shales are the most productive. This database constitutes a real decision support tool for managers for the planning and evaluation of drilling.
Three-Step Numerical Approximant Based on Block Hybrid Backward Differentiation Formula for Stiff System of Ordinary Differential Equations

Published: July 2022

As long as the field of Engineering, Science and Technology exists, the place of Mathematical modelling that involves stiff systems cannot be overemphasized. Models involving stiff system may result in ordinary differential equations (ODEs) or sometimes as system of ordinary differential equations which must be solved by experts working in that field.However, solving these models using analytical approach may sometimes be challenging or even near impossible. Therefore, it puts a great measure of importance on research into numerical algorithmsfor solution of this class of ordinary differential equations.Premised on the above mentioned, we have formulated, in this paper, a class of backward differentiation formula (BDF) which is a three-step numerical approximant for stiff systems of ODEs. The method was obtained through continuous collocation approach with Legendre polynomial as basis function. We incorporated three off-grid points at interpolation in order that we may retain theBDF’s single function evaluation characteristic. Analyzing basic properties of numerical methods led us to see that the method was consistent, having a uniform order six, zero-stable and in turn, convergent. The method's region of absolute stability was determined using the general linear method, which was plotted and shown to be stable over a vast area. The approach enumerates the solution of stiff of systems ODEs block by block using some discrete schemes that are secured from the corresponding continuous scheme. The method was tested using numerical experiments, and the results, when compared to exact or analytical answers as well as some methods published in the literature, proved that the method is efficient and accurate.

Published: July 2022

Background: With the emergence of human papillomavirus-based primary screening, the option of vaginal self-collected sample may overcome the barrier of speculum examination. Despite evidence of high acceptability of self-collection, there is need to evaluate the validity of such samples for HPV detection. This research aimed to determine the validity of self-collected vaginal samples for HPV detection among Nigerian women.

Methods: A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted among 230 asymptomatic women, selected by multi-stage sampling method in Orhuwhorun community in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State between May to June 2021. Participants were instructed on self-collection (SC) of vaginal samples using Flobam female sample collection kit and a clinician-collected (CC) cervical sample was obtained using a similar swab. Paired specimens were tested for HPV genotyping using 21 HPV GenoArray Diagnostic kits. SPSS vs 25 was used for data analysis. Agreement between the two collection methods was calculated using concordance and discordance rates and Cohen's kappa statistic. A 2 by 2 contingency table was used to calculate sensitivity and specificity of both sampling methods. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: 230 women of mean age 41.08 years (SD ± 8.45) were enrolled and 228 paired SC and CC results were analyzed. Of the 228 samples, 44 (19.3%) and 48 (21.1%) had HPV on clinician-collected and self-collected samples respectively. The HPV detection concordance was 92.9% (95%CI: 89.7–96.3), Kappa value of 0.66 (p < 0. 001), showing substantial agreement. Sensitivity and specificity of SC compared to CC were 86.4% (95%CI: 76.2–96.5) and 94.6% (95%CI: 91.3–97.8) respectively. Odds ratio was 1.15 indicating SC is as good as CC for HPV detection.

Conclusions: The excellent validity of SC support its use as an alternative form of HPV screening among Nigerian women hence the government should consider its introduction into the national cervical screening programme.
Beyond the Pedagogy: Indigenous Approaches for Peace Practices in Africa
Authors: Ishola Tajudeen Odebode
Published: July 2022

Peace is the requisite for the world order, likewise is the conflict for the development of the world’s space. This indicates the positivism of conflict in the development of human and man’s space. However, the negativity of conflicts in human’s space brought about the ‘Peace Pedagogy’ in educational institutions in the world over. Better still and less well, the results compared in the conflict management and peace building strategies in most if not all countries revealed a rethink and review of the pedagogical peace efforts in Africa. The so far achievements in the field of conflicts resolution and peace building were still not commensurate compared to the numerous conflicts violence ravaging the continent of Africa. Nevertheless, the success of peace pedagogies in some countries of the world should be having noticed, ‘the out-put’ changes the narrative of their society. Africa, the continent blessed with natural and human resources, believed to have been the first civilized continent of the world, evolved in peace practiced on conflict resolution and peace-building strategies that are indigenous and well fixed into the various conflicts bedeviled the people of Sahel and sub-Sahara Africa before the emergence of western strategy of peace pedagogies. In this wise, this paper explored beyond the pedagogy the indigenous approaches for peace practices in Africa using a qualitative method of a desk base research report on indigenous approach of peace-practice strategies in order to strengthen the traditional and indigenous strategies’ peace efforts and peace building in Africa.

Published: July 2022

The recent expansion of enrollment in secondary education in Tanzania has contributed to an increase in the number of secondary education graduates in the society than before. Regardless of the increase, there has been a poor transition rate to post-secondary education and therefore making the majority return to their communities to join the informal sector to sustain their livelihood. This article presents the findings on the relevance of secondary education curriculum to youth’s livelihood in Tanzania. It addresses the issue of the application of secondary education knowledge to learners’ social-economic context. Qualitative data were collected in 10 densely populated wards in the Mvomero district to secondary education leavers, headteachers, and academic teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. Content analysis was used to analyze data. The findings revealed secondary education has the potential to improve individuals’ living standards and birth control. However, the study also showed that economic activities are still gender-specific, coupled with male-dominated traditions. In addition, the study revealed knowledge disjunction between the school and real-life settings. Moreover, the centralized curriculum widens the gap between school knowledge and real-life because it does not respond to the diversified geographical environment of Tanzania. Based on the findings the study recommends curriculum development process involve diverse groups of stakeholders to design contents that are reflective of the respective societal needs, integration of theory and practice in teaching and learning, and integration of both general and skill-based education.

Published: July 2022

This study empirically analyzes the factors affecting Islamic Social Reporting (ISR), including profitability, liquidity, industry type, board of commissioner size, and company size. ISR, based on its category, is measured using ISR Index assessed from the companies’ annual report. The populations are all companies listed in Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) in 2017-2019. The samples include 17 companies selected through purposive sampling method, and are analyzed by multiple regression method. The results of this study indicate that the type of industry and company size have a significant effect on ISR; whilst, the profitability, liquidity, and board of commissioner size have no significant effect on ISR because manufacturing industry tends to be wider in disclosing its social responsibility reports, and this is also the case with large companies. This may be because the larger the size of the company, the larger the stakeholder community that must be served. Furthermore, profitability, liquidity, and the size of the board of commissioners have no significant effect on ISR because the company's orientation may be purely on profit or other financial aspects and the quality of ISR is not determined mainly by the quantity of the board of commissioners but may be caused by the quality or diversity of its members.

Cumhuriyet’in kuruluş yıllarında halkın eğitim seviyesini yükseltmek gayesiyle bazı kararlar hızla yürürlüğe koyuldu ve bir süre sonra semeresini vermeye başladı. Fakat yükseköğretimde arzulanan başarı henüz kaydedilememişti. Yeterli sayıda eğitim kurumunun olmayışı meselenin çözümünü zorlaştıran en büyük etkendi. Bu maksatla Avrupa ülkelerinde uygulandığı gibi yükseköğretimde uzaktan eğitim sürecinin başlatılmasına karar verildi. Uzaktan eğitim hususunu Cumhuriyet devrinde dile getiren ilk kişi dönemin Milli Eğitim Bakanı Mustafa Necati Bey oldu. Bununla birlikte Mustafa Necati Bey’in vekâletinden ancak yıllar sonra bu konuda somut adımlar atılabildi ve hazırlanan uzaktan eğitim programları yükseköğretim kapısında bekleyen milyonlarca gence sunuldu. Bu makalede Cumhuriyet’in ilanından sonra Mustafa Necati Bey’in ilk ifadesi başlangıç kabul edilerek, Anadolu Üniversitesi Açıköğretim Fakültesi’nin kuruluşuna kadar geçen dönemde yükseköğretimde uzaktan eğitime geçiş süreci ele alındı. Öğrencilerin ve eğitimcilerin yaşadığı problemler, uzaktan eğitim kurumları, kurumların işleyişi gibi meseleler TBMM zabıtları, dönem basını ve ilgili literatür ele alınarak açıklanmaya çalışıldı.

İstanbul’un iaşesindeki önemli rolünün yanı sıra aynı zamanda iktisadî ve sosyal işlevleriyle de dikkat çeken İstanbul bostanları, hakkında çok az çalışma yapılmış bir konudur. Bu bakımdan bu çalışma ile hem XVIII. yüzyılda İstanbul’da sur dışında bulunan bostanların durumunu tespit etmek hem de İstanbul’un şehir dokusunun tespitine katkıda bulunmak hedeflenmektedir. Çalışmada XVIII. yüzyılın ilk yarısında İstanbul’un sur dışı bostanlarının mevkileri, sahipleri ve çalışanları incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın temel kaynağı I. Mahmud dönemine (1730-1754) ait 25 Receb 1145 (11 Ocak 1733) tarihli defterdir. Bu defter Cumhurbaşkanlığı Osmanlı Arşivi’nde (BOA) nüfus defteri olarak 1 numarada kayıtlıdır. Nüfus defterine göre 1733 yılında İstanbul kara surları boyunca Yedikule’den Ayvansaray’a kadar 77, Eyüp’te 78 ve Eyüp’e bağlı Hasköy’de -Fener ve Balat semtlerinin karşısında- 12 olmak üzere toplam 167 bostan mevcuttur. Bostan sahiplerinin ezici çoğunluğunu Müslümanlar oluşturmaktadır (%96,37). Müslümanların mülkiyetindeki bostanların %14,85’i vakıflara, %13,33’ü kadınlara aittir. Bostan sahibi olan veya bostan tasarruf eden Müslümanlar arasında orta ve alt düzey memurlar ile esnafın yanı sıra padişah kızları, paşalar, yeniçeri ağası, Enderun ağası, şeyhülislâm, kazasker, padişah imamı (İmam-ı şehriyârî-i sâbık) ve kâdî gibi üst düzeyde devlet memurlarının varlığı, bostanların önemli bir gelir kaynağı olduğuna işaret etmektedir. 1733 yılında İstanbul Sur dışı bostanlarında 637 kişi çalışıyordu. Bostan başına ortalama dört çalışan düşüyordu. Bunların %70’ini Arnavutlar ve Rumlar oluşturuyordu. Ayrıca çalışanların en az %60’ının Rumeli, Trakya ve Anadolu’dan gelmiş olması istihdam alanı olarak bostanların işlevini de göstermektedir.
