The determinants of world wheat trade, 1963-2010: A gravity equation approach
Authors: González-Esteban Ángel Luis
Published: January 2021

The international configuration of the world wheat trade has undergone sig-nificant transformations over the past fifty years. The volume of total wheattrade has increased fivefold, new exporting leaders have appeared and a largeimport market has emerged in less developed countries. The aim of this paper is to iden-tify the main drivers of those changing patterns. For that purpose, we estimated a grav-ity equation based on data for bilateral trade flows. Information on the wheat trade wasobtained from the UN-COMTRADE database (2014). We also accessed other sourcesto include explanatory variables such as gross domestic product (GDP) of the export-ing and importing countries, GDP per capita, wheat production, different measures ofcultural distance and proximity, current trade agreements, etc. The results are discussedand interpreted using a cliometric approach.

Published: January 2021

Pantai berlumpur rentan terhadap kerusakan akibat gelombang, sehingga diperlukan perlindungan pantai yang salah satunya menggunakan pemecah gelombang tipe permeable. Tipe permeable yang dikembangkan ini disebut sebagai Pemecah Gelombang Tiang Pancang. Bahan yang digunakan untuk memodelkan struktur tersebut (prototipe) di laboratorium adalah bambu bulat bersekat yaitu bambu bulat dari taman Pringgodani dengan diameter 1 cm, tinggi 20 cm dengan sekat kayu multiblok setebal 2 cm. Analisis refleksi dan transmisi terhadap hasil pengujian model fisik 2D terhadap pemecah gelombang diperlukan untuk mencapai optimasi dalam penggunaannya. Hasil pengujian laboratorium membuktikan bahwa Pemecah Gelombang ini cukup efektif pada skenario yang memiliki nilai Kt yang lebih kecil dan nilai Kr yang lebih besar. Pada percobaan ini pengujian dilakukan dengan skenario tinggi muka air pada Mean Sea Level (MSL) (44 cm) dan High Water Level (HWL) (50 cm) dengan 2 skenario spasi antar tiang yaitu 1 cm dan 2 cm pada masing-masing tinggi muka air. Kemudian hasil perhitungan Kt dan Kr dibandingkan dengan variabel non-dimensional kecuraman gelombang (Hi/gT2) dan kemiringan gelombang (Hi/L) . Hasil percobaan laboratorium menunjukkan bahwa nilai Kt lebih rendah pada saat kondisi MSL, dan nilai Kr lebih tinggi pada saat kondisi MSL hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Pemecah Gelombang Bambu Bulat Bersekat ini lebih efektif pada muka air rendah dari pada muka air tinggi.

Aprendizagem, comunicação e tradução intersemiótica: um estudo sobre "As trigêmeas"
Authors: Costa Braga da Silva Maria Cecília , Clay de Oliveira Freitas Ítala
Published: January 2021

Este artigo apresenta estudo teórico resultante de pesquisas bibliográficas desenvolvidas durante o Pibic 2017/2018 em Comunicação e posteriores estudos na área de Educação durante a pós-graduação. Propõe-se a tradução intersemiótica (Plaza, 2003) como estratégia de comunicação (Sodré, 2011) não só em sentido midiático, mas também em ambientes de aprendizagem. O corpus é o episódio “As Trigêmeas e A Volta ao Mundo em 80 Dias”, do desenho animado infantil As Trigêmeas (1995). Assim, foi criada a seguinte categorização das traduções intersemióticas no episódio em questão: traduções espaço-temporais; traduções de personagens e tecnologias; e, por fim, traduções de outras obras. Em seguida, os elementos narrativos observados foram articulados aos seguintes conceitos: tipos de tradução intersemiótica (Plaza, 2003); curiosidade epistemológica e consciência do inacabamento (Freire, 2017); aprendizagem significativa (Moreira, 1997); e consolidação da memória declarativa (Cosenza e Guerra, 2011). Conclui-se que a tradução intersemiótica tende a ser uma estratégia eficaz quanto à construção de conhecimentos e manutenção da memória ao longo da vida, contribuindo não só para o desenvolvimento cognitivo individual, mas também para a continuidade de obras através dos tempos.

Clinical and laboratory criteria used for patient selection for adjuvant chemotherapy in post-operative breast cancer
Authors: Soares Bianca Pamela , Cardoso Grasiela Benini dos Santos , Silva Marcia Fernanda Roque da , Rocha Roberto Odebrecht
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Breast cancer remains the second most common type of cancer in the world and the first among women, with breast cancer incidence rates doubling in the last thirty years. In 2013, the St Gallen Consensus recommended the use of a study of the multigene profile and phenotyping to indicate adjuvance by use of the MammaPrint and Oncotype4 applications; however, as they are not available in the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde–SUS), clinical predictive criteria and laboratory tests are used for indication of adjuvant therapy. Objective: Evaluation of clinical and laboratory criteria in the selection of patients with breast cancer after surgery for adjuvant chemotherapy and quantification of the factors used in the selected patients and their results. Method: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional observational study with patients over 18 years of age, without gender and race restriction, diagnosed with breast cancer at a public hospital in São Paulo, from 09/10/18 to 10/12/18, who underwent surgical treatment and discussed adjuvant therapy. Patients with metastatic neoplasia and/or undergoing neoadjuvant treatment were excluded. Data collected were: TNM staging, histological type and hormone receptors, age and comorbidities in all medical records collected. Results: 1,390 consultations were carried out, with 42 patients selected, according to the study criteria. Since 40% of the patients were outside the recommended range for breast cancer screening, regarding TNM, late diagnoses were evidenced, with 69% presenting ≥T2 and 36% with lymph node involvement. Of the 42 patients, 98% received adjuvant therapy. Conclusion: It was evidenced by Paik et al., that 92.1% of the 668 patients enrolled in the NSABP B-14 study were considered of intermediate or high risk according to the NCCN and St. Gallen criteria, and by Oncotype DX, 50.6% of the patients were classified as at low risk of recurrence. However, as these are not available in SUS, the present study shows the need to use clinical and laboratory factors to indicate adjuvant therapy, and with these, of the 42 patients, 98% had indication, showing that they are not such effective means in the use of genetic tests, and patients treated by SUS initiate their treatments late, which impacts disease-free survival, since less than 10% of patients received care with early stage neoplasia.
Autoimmune granulomatous mastitis – Case report
Authors: Medeiros Marcos de Sousa , Bordin Stéfani , Cesca Nathieli Menin
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Idiopathic lobular granulomatous mastitis (ILGM) is a chronic, benign, inflammatory disease which affects women with mean age of 33 years, usually with recent lactation. Defined by granulomas and microabscesses in mammary lobes, it can be suggestive of carcinoma, both clinically and radiologically. There are three hypotheses for the disease: infection, hormonal and autoimmune disorder, being the latter the most accepted one. Objective: To report the case of SFI, female, 34 years of age, Caucasian, non-lactating, without family history of breast cancer, diagnosed with autoimmune granulomatous mastitis. Method: Case report based on medical records and in agreement with the signed informed consent form. In 2017, the patient presented with trauma in the right breast, and after eight months, local lesion and mastalgia. In the physical exam, we observed one-sided mammillary retraction, periareolar hyperemia, signs of fluctuation, pain at superficial palpation and palpable lymph nodes. The ultrasound showed fluid collection of 25x6 mm, with thick content, irregular walls in the upper medial quadrant, with an area close to the skin in the periareolar region; two smaller collections measuring 4 to 6 mm in the retroareolar region; without solid nodules. After surgical drainage, the sample indicated chronic granulomatous inflammation; analysis of fungi and acid-alcohol-resistant bacilli were negative, and malignancy was not present. Then, she was started on Prednisone, 80mg/day. However, after the onset of a new inflammatory condition, a weekly 15mg dose of Methotrexate was associated. In the following month, being clinically stable, Methotrexate was suspended, and the dose of Prednisone was gradually reduced, until its suspension. She did not present with acute mastitis or abscess. The patient persisted with palpable granulomas in all quadrants, and major complications with mastalgia, which became incapacitating. A new attempt of immunosuppressive therapy was made, but had no success against mastalgia, as well as the use of Tamoxifen and Cabergoline. Results and Conclusion: Due to clinical untreatability and the patient’s wish, the choice was to perform skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate prosthetic reconstruction. Even though the ideal treatment is still uncertain, due to its unknown etiology, clinical follow-up is important, even after the surgical excision of the nodule, because of the chance of recurrence and slow resolution.

The Role of Marketing in Understanding and Controlling Cost of Quality
Authors: Komissarov Sergey , Eklund Andreas , Kocakulah Mehmet
Published: January 2021

In the accounting realm, quality is an increasingly important element in planning, production, distribution and branding of goods and services because of global competition and other external factors in many industries. However, the cost of quality must also be considered as not to add unwanted or unwarranted costs to pass along to the end-customer. Marketing professionals are trained to strategically build and protect their own brand, which may consist of products or services. To achieve high-quality, it is imperative that the accounting and marketing departments work together. The four categories of Quality Costs (Prevention, Appraisal, Internal Failure and External Failure) encompass many different quality activities at different stages in producing goods or services. The research and experiences in the marketing industry based on branding will help to show that most quality initiatives are in fact preventative when the end goal is maintaining a solid consumer base and satisfied consumers. As this study shows, treating the brand as an experiential entity serves as a quality facet. This alludes that quality is a facet linking accounting and branding.

Strategies for sustainability in shrinking cities: Frames, rationales and goals for a development path change
Authors: Liu Ruiying
Published: January 2021

Addressing the challenges and opportunities in shrinking cities requires approaches and strategies different from those that have been applied under growth conditions. Research on shrinking cities has generated a plethora of approaches and strategies for the shrinkage trajectory and has identified sustainability as a guiding principle. However, shrinking city development in practice either cannot confront the situation of shrinkage, or does so without an integrative, consistent approach, while the concept of sustainability has ambiguous meanings, giving rise to competing or contradicting rationales. This paper identifies the need for clearer directions for a re-orientation away from the growth-oriented approaches, in conjunction with a critical reflection on what sustainability means for different shrinking cities. Towards this end, it first assembles an overview of the strategic framings behind urban development ideas proffered in the shrinking city discourse, with a focus on the temporal, agential and spatial dimensions and the cross-cutting frame of higher-level interdependencies. Secondly, with a deeper reflection on the inner tensions of the sustainability concept, it distils the key rationales and proposes new strategy-making approaches for a development path change towards sustainable development that responds to different local situations.
Ympäristöinnostaja luontokokemusten ja ekososiaalisesti merkittävien suhteiden välittäjänä
Authors: Järvinen Satu , Foster Raisa , Morris Nicholas
Published: January 2021

Artikkelissa luonnostellaan laaja-alaisesti eri kasvatuskonteksteihin soveltuvan ympäristöinnostamisen lähtökohtia, periaatteita ja tavoitteita. Tarve ympäristöinnostamisen käsitteellistämiselle nousi Ohiossa toteutetun Arts for Parks -hankkeen myötä. Ohiolaisten ympäristökasvattajien haastatteluiden ja työpajahavainnointien analysointi nosti keskeisimpinä piirteinä esiin kasvattajan omista kokemuksista nousevan vastuullisen luontosuhteen sekä heidän syvän luontorakkautensa ja innostuksensa tiedon jakamiseen ja kokemusten tarjoamiseen. Sosiokulttuurisen innostamisen teoriaan nojaten ympäristöinnostamisen lähtökohdiksi voidaan asettaa toiminnan paikkasidonnaisuus ja innostajan henkilökohtainen työote. Ympäristöinnostajan keskeisenä tehtävänä on ekososiaalisesti merkittävien suhteiden välittäminen. Ympäristöinnostamisella pyritään emansipaatioon kestämättömyyttä tuottavista arvoista, uskomuksista ja toimintatavoista. Ympäristöinnostaminen on siis yhteisöllistä toimintaa kohti ekologisesti ja sosiaalisesti kestävämpää tulevaisuutta.
A FEMINIST STYLISTICS ANALYSIS IN RUPI KAUR’S THE SUN AND HER FLOWERS
Authors: Siregar Saskia Febiola , Setia Eddy , Marulafau Siamir
Published: January 2021

This research was aimed at analyzing linguistic stylistics describing how women and men presented in texts by applying a feminist approach, i.e. feminist stylistics. This research focuses not only on stylistics analysis that considers linguistic structure and how it affects society, but also on how the position of women as actors, as well as the position of ideas or events presented in the text. This research used a qualitative method. The words, phrases or sentences, and discourses reflecting gender-specific in the novel become the data of the research. The researchers use Mills' feminist stylistics theory to analyze the data. In this study, there are several tendencies of women or men associated with the text. In a collection of poems, it is often found several italics at the bottom, and it is to emphasize the topic of the poem concerned. This research shows that Rupi Kaur, as the author, seems to want readers to understand his poetry as much as what he wrote and wanted. In addition, this study found that gender-specific terms are mostly used to refer primarily to female gender.
West Nile Virus Seroprevalence in an Outdoor Nonhuman Primate Breeding Colony in South Florida
Authors: Robertson Stara N , Cameron Angus I , Morales Pablo R , Burnside Wesley M
Published: January 2021

West Nile virus (WNV) was first detected in Florida in July 2001, with 404 human cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as of February 2020. The subtropical climate of Florida is ideal for the mosquitoes that transmit WNV. We investigated the WNV seroprevalence
in 3 NHP species housed outdoors at The Mannheimer Foundation in South Florida. From January to December 2016, 520 3 to 30 y old NHP were sampled at our 2 closed sites in Homestead and LaBelle: 200 rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), 212 cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis),
and 108 hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas hamadryas). The presence of WNV IgG antibodies in these animals was determined by serum neutralization assays, which found a total seroprevalence of 14%. Seroprevalence was significantly higher in the baboons (29%) than the rhesus (11%) and
cynomolgus (9%) macaques. The probability of seropositivity significantly increased with age, but sex and site did not significantly affect seroprevalence. The frequency of WNV seropositivity detected in these outdoor-housed NHP suggests that screening for WNV and other vector-borne diseases
may be necessary prior to experimental use, particularly for infectious disease studies in which viremia or viral antibodies could confound results, and especially for populations housed outdoors in warm, wet climates. As no seropositive subjects demonstrated clinical signs of WNV and WNV
exposure did not appear to significantly impact colony health, routine testing is likely unnecessary for most NHP colonies. However, WNV infection should still be considered as a differential diagnosis for any NHP presenting with nonspecific neurologic signs. Mosquito abatement plans and vigilant
sanitation practices to further decrease mosquito and avian interaction with research NHP should also be considered.
Analysis of the readiness of medical professionals from Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia on the need for continuing online training on matters relating to drug policy
Authors:   Faculty of Pharmacy, Varna Medical University, Bulgaria, Brankov B. , Zlatareva A. ,   Faculty of Public Health, Varna Medical University, Bulgaria
Published: January 2021

The purpose of the study is to examine the opinion of the medical community on the need for further training on matters relating to drug policy (as a dynamic and rapidly changing area of healthcare policy bearing on the work of a number of healthcare specialists) and the attitudes to web-based forms of further training. The study was conducted among healthcare professionals (healthcare professionals means graduates in medicine and/or pharmacy – physicians, dentists, pharmacists and healthcare professionals and managers etc. who practice their occupation applying the set of regulatory standards governing drug policy) from three Balkan countries – Bulgaria, Slovenia and Croatia – who have completed a dedicated survey. Participation in the survey was voluntary and the polling was conducted on the basis of the ‘snowballing’ technique for survey dissemination and recruitment of respondents. The statistical processing of collected data relied on a correlational descriptive and regression analysis. The results reveal that respondents are aware of the need and are willing to pursue possibilities for further training on matters relating to drug policy. The correlational analysis has revealed interesting further data. A statistically significant negative correlation has been established between knowledge assessment and the method of updating and upgrading knowledge on matters relating to drug policy. The data suggests that according to the respondents self-learning and attending courses led by trainers who are subject-matter experts increases the evaluation of knowledge in the area of drug policy (rho = 0.-631, р = 0.002). Furthermore, the greater frequency of additional training events to improve current levels of knowledge is also a factor that increases self-assessment of being up to date on the latest developments in this area (rho = 0.577, р = 0.006). There is a need for further training in the area of drug policy and the preferred form of this type of training are the online and physical training events by guest trainers conducted by medical schools. In order to ensure that training conforms to a high-quality standard, a test should be taken at the end and a certificate attesting to the training should be issued as a quality assurance guarantee. Keywords: Postgraduate training/drug policy, medical specialists.

Time to Depth Seismic Reprocessing of Vintage Data: a Case Study in the Otranto Channel (South Adriatic Sea)
Authors: Brancatelli Giuseppe , Forlin Edy , Bertone Nicolò , Del Ben Anna , Geletti Riccardo
Published: January 2021

In this chapter, we present a case study focused on the reprocessing of marine seismic line MS-29, acquired in 1971 in the Otranto Channel, in the South Adriatic Sea (Italy). This line crosses the channel between South Italy and Albania, a key location for understanding the geodynamics of the North Adria Plate. The work is divided into two steps. The first step consists of a modern broadband processing sequence in the time domain that allowed us to overcome low fold problems inherent in vintage data and to obtain a pre-stack time migration seismic section. The second step focused on velocity model building and pre-stack depth migration to obtain an accurate image of the subsurface. We followed a specific workflow that uses the coherence inversion technique and both layer-based and grid tomography to achieve a reliable velocity model. The reprocessing enhances the imaging of the vintage data, allowing new insight into the geological interpretation of the Otranto Channel.
Remote hand: Hand-centered peripersonal space transfers to a disconnected hand avatar
Authors: Mine Daisuke , Yokosawa Kazuhiko
Published: January 2021

The space surrounding our body is called peripersonal space (PPS). It has been reported that visuo-tactile facilitation occurs more strongly within PPS than outside PPS. Furthermore, previous research has revealed several methods by which PPS can be extended. The present study provides the first behavioral evidence of the transfer of PPS in a virtual environment by a novel technique. PPS representation was investigated using a remote-controlled hand avatar presented far from their body in a virtual environment. Participants showed strongest visuo-tactile facilitation at the far space around the remote hand and no facilitation at the near space around the real hand, suggesting that PPS transfers from near the body to the space around the hand avatar. The present results extend previous findings of the plasticity of PPS and demonstrate flexibility of PPS representation beyond the physical and anatomical limits of body representation.
What is the most effective second language vocabulary learning method?
Authors: Moy Jason H , Rickard Timothy Charles
Published: January 2021

Research suggested retention rate of an item increased when one was trained byretrieving the item. The present study will empirically investigate whether the benefit apply in learning second-language vocabulary. In this study, we asked native-Chinese speaker to study 48 English Chinese word pairs with 4 different training methods (productive vs. receptive vs. productive + picture, restudy). Their knowledge was assessed in two days using productive or receptive final test. Result indicated retention rate is higher using retrieval compared to restudy. Additionally, we found training in one-direction (e.g. productively) lead to substantial knowledge in the opposite-direction (e.g. taking a receptive posttest) except taking a productive posttest with receptive training. Our result also suggested that adding pictorial stimuli to productive training may be better than productive training alone. Theoretical and practical implication were discussed.

Published: January 2021

Objectives: (1) Adapt the ECAS into Greek, validate it in ALS patients and compare with the ALS-CBS. (2) Determine the sensitivity and specificity of ECAS in the differentiation between AD and non-demented ALS patients as compared with the ACE-III and mini-ACE. Methods: ALS patients (n = 28) were recruited and AD patients (n = 26) were matched in age, sex, and education with ALS patients (n = 24). The normative data were derived from a random sample of controls (n = 52). Bayes correlation analysis was conducted to examine convergent validity. Bayes t-test was performed to assess between groups’ differences. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analyses and area under the curve (AUC) were implemented to appraise the sensitivity and specificity in the differentiation between the AD and non-demented ALS patients. Results: The ECAS and its sub-scores in addition to the behavior interview demonstrated robust correlations with the ALS-CBS. Impairment in language and verbal fluency were the most prominent deficits in the ALS patients. The most frequently reported change was apathy. The ROC analysis demonstrated that the ECAS-ALS nonspecific score (comprising memory and visuospatial domains) is the most sensitive and specific in differentiating the AD from ALS patients. The other measures expressed high sensitivity, yet a poor specificity. Conclusions: The ECAS is a multi-purpose screening tool. The ECAS-ALS specific appraises the whole spectrum of the highly prevalent cognitive impairments in ALS. The ECAS-ALS nonspecific (memory and visuospatial) is a sensitive score to detect AD related deficits and is able to differentiate the AD from the non-demented ALS patients better than the ACE-III and mini-ACE.

Published: January 2021

Motivation plays a significant and crucial role in ELT and it boosts up the level of aplomb and interaction during learning English language. It creates sense of respect inside learners and makes them on the right direction. This research attempted to identify the impact of motivation on listening skills of students enrolled in English Language Course at British Education and Training System (BETS) Lahore, Pakistan during January to February, 2020. The learners for this class look forward to hone their speaking skills by listening as much as they can. The results show that there is a positive correlation between listening strategy instruction and motivation. Listening motivation was recorded utilizing the English Listening Comprehension Motivation Scale (ELCMS) and strategy use was tracked with the Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ). Pre- and post-test scores of 36 participants (control group, n=20; experiment group, n=16) were analyzed using a mixed-effects regression and paired t-test to determine differences after a four-week treatment period. The results revealed that the participants’ motivation level in both groups decreased over the treatment period, with the experiment group seeing a smaller decrease than the control group.
Revisiting Grammar Teaching in a Saudi EFL Context: Teachers’ Perceptions and Practices
Authors: Abduh Mariam Yousef , Algouzi Sami
Published: January 2021

In language, meaning is conveyed and received through words and grammar. A phrase or a sentence is not a random collection of words. In the absence of grammar, words hang together without any real meaning. Thus, grammar plays an essential role in language teaching. With adequate grammar explanations in meaningful contexts and practice, some serious errors in learners' language can be avoided. This study aimed at examining the relationship between teachers’ perceptions of grammar teaching and their actual practices in a Saudi EFL context. Questionnaires and classroom observation checklists were used to gather information about teachers' perceptions of grammar teaching and to compare that with their practices. The paper sought to find answers to these questions: 1) What are teachers’ perceptions of grammar teaching? 2) Do teachers’ perceptions of grammar correlate with their actual teaching in EFL classes? 3) What are teachers’ perceptions of problems, if any, hindering their practice of grammar teaching? The sample consisted of 23 teachers who completed a questionnaire discussing their perceptions of grammar teaching and practice. Six of these teachers were observed teaching grammar in classes. The findings revealed that there was a negative correlation between teachers' perceptions of grammar teaching and their perceptions of their grammar classes. Also, there was a negative correlation between teachers' perceptions of grammar teaching and the observed classes. However, teachers' perceptions of their classes were mostly reflected in observation cards, and they were positively correlated. Further, the study revealed teachers' tendency towards traditional methods of teaching where the meaningful practice was overlooked.
A Developmental Step in the Right Direction: The Case for Concept-Based Instruction in the Omani ESP Classroom
Authors: Ahmed Amer , Lenchuk Iryna
Published: January 2021

This article reports on the results of action research conducted in a university ESP classroom in Oman. The impetus for this research was the practitioner’s dissatisfaction with the current practice of introducing the grammatical concept of the English passive and its subsequent results. Framed within the sociocultural theory of cognitive development, this paper investigates the effectiveness of concept-based instruction (CBI). As a pedagogical approach, CBI targets a learner’s internalization of the concept of a language constituent that assists the learner with the meaning making abilities of sentences where the English passive is used. Twenty-two university students enrolled in an ESP course participated in the study. The data was collected through the teacher’s observations, students’ artifacts, and students’ feedback on the effectiveness of CBI. Data analysis reveals the effectiveness of CBI in heightening learner awareness of the concept of a language constituent, developing learner knowledge of the English passive, and improving their meaning-making abilities at the phrasal and sentential levels.
The State of the Art of Barriers to Exclusive Breastfeeding among Working Mothers in Developing Countries
Authors: Nwaodu Linda Uloma
Published: January 2021

According to the WHO, the global standard for infant nutrition is exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). However, the level of EBF has been identified to remain low in developing countries. This is quite ironical as one could expect that breastfeeding mothers in developing countries will find EBF attractive as a better alternative to infant food considering the high level of food insecurity in the region. Adopting a qualitative approach, this paper dived into the literature and identified key factors which act as impediments to EBF among working mothers in this region - insufficient breastfeeding breaks in the workplace, lack of breastfeeding spaces and short maternity leaves, birth by caesarean section, poor lactation, poor maternal health, and poor spousal and societal support.

This paper portrays the ways Indonesian English Language Teaching (ELT) practitioners review and reflect on their practice, seek to expand new ideas and techniques they can apply in their classrooms. This study aims to enhance our understanding of what it is actually that Indonesian ELT practitioners are doing, understanding, and what they are trying to achieve in their classroom activities. This study investigates explanative answers to a single research question: In what ways are Indonesian ELT practitioners reflective in their classroom practice? This study conducted at secondary schools and universities uses a qualitative approach, utilizing observation, interviews, and documents as data collection methods, and content analysis as a means of data analysis. This research involved four participants selected purposively and voluntarily. Its findings, analysis, and interpretation are presented descriptively. The major finding of this study suggests that Indonesian ELT practitioners are reflective in three ways: being reflective within the process of their teaching, known as “reflection-in-action, being reflective in their post-teaching referred to as “reflection-on-action, ” and being reflective in their future improvement planning known as “reflection-for-action.” The practitioners’ reflexivity aims to improve the quality of their teaching, which can potentially affect the quality of their students’ learning. Thus, arguably Indonesian ELT practitioners have performed the praxis in their language teaching through reflective practice.
Computer Assisted Language Learning Integration Challenges in Saudi Arabian English as a Foreign Language Classes: The Case of EFL Teachers at Tabuk University
Authors: Habbash Manssour
Published: January 2021

Recent decades have witnessed unprecedented growth in the educational technology industry. Such significant developments have made Computer Assisted Language Learning an indispensable constituent of the teaching methodology in English as a Foreign Language classes. Meanwhile, several studies report that English as a Foreign Language teachers in many parts of the world is in shortage of skills required for Computer Assisted Language Learning integration in their classes and teaching methods. In view of the variances in different parts of the world as to the status of Computer Assisted Language Learning integration, the current study aims at exploring challenges that English as a Foreign Language teachers, at the University of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, are assumed to confront in employing Computer Assisted Language Learning as an integral constituent in their classroom teaching methodology. With this end, the study is carried out in light of the question ‘Are the EFL teachers able to integrate CALL applications effectively in their classroom teaching methodology?’ The study employs a mixed-methods research design in which quantitative and qualitative approaches are used in both data collection and analysis. The required data for analysis was collected by using a questionnaire of Likert items that were distributed to a convenient random sample of EFL teachers working at the English language Institute (ELI) at the University of Tabuk. Quantitative data were analyzed statistically with the support of excel and SPSS whereas qualitative data were analyzed in light of invitational theory proposed by Purkey and Novak (1992). The results of the analysis are significant in drawing inferences that help in making valid conclusions and decisions for designing and developing suitable teacher professional development programs for successful integration of CALL in their EFL classrooms.
Does Diversity Undermine Trust and Cooperation? Theory and Evidence
Authors: Giani Marco , Heap Shaun Hargreaves , Minos Dimitrios
Published: January 2021

Abstract. It is often argued that diversity depletes the social capital of trust and cooperation. We argue there is no compelling theoretical reason for supposing that trust and cooperation will move together in response to diversity; and we provide new causal evidence that they do not. While diversity undermines trust, we find that people in more diverse societies are, surprisingly, better able to cooperate in both new aggregate and individual level observational data and in laboratory experiments. These results caution against the suggestion that diversity creates trade-offs for society: e.g. between innovativeness and solidarity or between freedom of movement and welfare state generosity.
Perception of the English Phonotactics by Saudi English Majors: A Comparative Study
Authors: Alshehri Awad H.
Published: January 2021

This paper investigates the perception of phonotactics by Saudi English majors, beginners and advanced. Due to the significance of pronunciation of consonant clusters, which are almost absent from Arabic, this work attempts to find the extent to which beginner and advanced English majors accept or reject permissible and impermissible sounds combinations in the onset position. It also attempts to find whether there are any intervening factors that could influence students’ perception of English phonotactics. The focus was on the consonant clusters occurring in onset position. These clusters included two-sound and three-sound clusters starting the word. Most of the words were pseudowords, and the focus was on whether the students would accept or reject these sounds, and whether there was a significant difference between beginner and advanced students, male and female. The paper also considered some intervening factors that could have influenced students' performance. To this end, the researcher conducted a survey to test the perception and rejection of certain sounds in some carefully selected pseudowords. The findings showed that most advanced students scored better in permissible sounds while the results were close in the impermissible sounds. There were some factors that could have had some impact on the results, such as living in an English-speaking community, watching English TV, and listening to the news in English. Suggestions for further research would include sounds in the coda position.
