PSYCHOLINGUISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF A POLITICAL LEADER’S SPEECH INTENTIONS
Authors: Diachuk Nataliia
Published: October 2020

The article highlights the understanding of speech intentions hidden in the political discourse. In order to interact with the audience naturally and smoothly it is essential for a political leader to operate with the intentions of utterances sufficiently. This paper proposes a psycholinguistic method of speech intention understanding based on President Donald Trump’s inauguration speech. The method of a political text study is known as intent-analysis is regarded to be one of the most effective in analyzing political leader’s intentions, ideas and ambitions. The technique uses a political discourse with intention tags to regard the intention of separate paragraphs, sentences or even separate lexical units. The intent-analysis of the research went through several stages from choosing the decisive blocks from the text to analyzing the most influential concepts that made the ideas of the blocks and finished with singling out the key speech intentions and drawing conclusions. A political inaugural speech analysis has shown that the most beneficial intention lying in Donald Trump’s inaugural speech aims at establishing good relations with bordering countries and the whole world by making his own country and American citizens the most prosperous amongst other nations. The general mood of the political text under discussion is fully optimistic that is found out via semantically positive units.

Zakat yang disalurkan ke mustahik (yang berhak atas zakat) akan mempengaruhi ekonomi mereka jika penyalurannya hanya fokus pada usaha produktif. Pada penelitian ini, para peneliti ingin mengetahui seberapa besar peranan Zakat Community Development (ZCD/Pengembangan Masyarakat melalui Zakat) melalui penyediaan program ternak bergilir yang digalakkan oleh BAZNAZ (Badan Amil Zakat Nasional) Lampung untuk memberdayakan masyarakat. Penelitian ini merupakan studi lapangan dengan menggunakan metode campuran atau kombinasi dari metode kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan yaitu observasi, wawancara, dan dokumen pendukung. Terdapat 27 responden sebagai populasi penelitian dan sampel pada penelitian ini terdiri atas 27 responden juga atau seluruh populasi pada penelitian ini. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, didapatkan tingkat signifikan sebesar 0,105 atau > 0,05. Maka dapat diartikan bahwa peran ZCD tidak mempengaruhi pemberdayaan masyarakat dikarenakan kurangnya pengawasan, kontrol, dan evaluasi dari BAZNAZ Lampung melalui program ternak bergilir. Hal ini bertentangan dengan harapan yang menyatakan bahwa penyediaan modal dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat dan mengubah mustahik menjadi muzakki (orang yang wajib membayar zakat).

Published: October 2020

We present a joint theoretical-experimental study of CO coverage on Au under both gas phase and electrochemical conditions. By analyzing temperature programmed desorption (TPD) spectra on (211) and (310) surface facets, we show that, under atmospheric CO pressure, the steps of both facets adsorb up to 0.7 ML coverage of *CO, while the terraces have close to zero coverage. We show this result to be consistent with density functional theory calculations of adsorption energies. Under electrochemical conditions on polycrystalline Au, we investigate the CO binding with in situ attenuated total reflection surface enhanced IR spectra (ATR-SEIRAS). We detect a CO band at 0.2V vs. SHE that disappears upon partial Pb underpotential deposition (facet selective), which suggests Pb blocks the CO adsorption sites. With Pb underpotential deposition on single crystals and theoretical surface Pourbaix analysis, we narrow down the possible adsorption sites of CO to open site motifs: (211) and (110) steps, as well as (100) terraces. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of explicit water at the Au surface, however, shows the adsorption of CO on (211) steps to be significantly weakened relative to the (100) terrace due to competitive water adsorption. This result suggests that CO is more likely to bind to the (100) terrace than steps in an electrochemical environment. The competition between water and CO adsorption can result in different binding sites for *CO on Au in gas phase and electrochemical environments.

Authors:   , Yabar-Gago Farah
Published: October 2020

El presente trabajo se basa en la experiencia que se obtuvo como interna de psicología con menores institucionalizadas cuyas edades fluctúan entre 9 y 14 años de edad, dentro de un Centro de Atención Residencial en Lima Metropolitana. Donde según investigaciones, la institucionalización causa problemas de socialización o relaciones interpersonales ocasionados por la falta de interacción social y de una atención individualizada (Defensoría del Pueblo, 2010). Las razones por las que ingresaron, se debieron a la causal social de abandono, ya sea parcial o total, donde las menores se hallaban en riesgo social como maltrato tanto, físico como psicológico, así como también tocamientos indebidos y mendicidad. En ciertos casos, los padres eran alcohólicos y/o drogadictos. Mientras que en otros, el abandono era causado por la muerte de los progenitores. En ciertos casos, los padres eran alcohólicos y/o drogadictos. Mientras que en otros, el abandono era causado por la muerte de los progenitores. Las características que muestran algunas de las menores al empezar el año de internado, son timidez, actitudes hostiles y desinterés.
Identification of Factor VII Gene Mutations in Patients with Haemophilia A
Authors: Maysoon Mohammed Hassan
Published: October 2020

The study is aimed to detect the primary mutations of the FVIII gene among Iraqi patients using molecular analysis and to identify the relationships between these mutations and the severity of the disease. The study involved twenty-five patients with haemophilia type A, eighteen of those patients were males, and seven of them were mothers with disease carriers, from seven families but un-related. The extracted DNA determined by the concentration and purity and then after the amplification of selected parts of the FVIII gene involving intron 22 and exons 18, 22, 23, 24 were done. Sequencing of these exons and introns were done for all patients and control subjects. Sequencing analysis showed that the majority of mutations were "point mutations" in exons, mostly in exon 24. In contrast, the mutations in exon 18 were identified in one male in addition to one carrier mother. The mutations in exon 22 were identified in four patients, and the mutation in exon 23 was identified in two males in addition to two carrier mothers. The mutations in exon 24 were identified in twelve patients with haemophilia in addition to two carrier mothers. Moreover, the numbers of identified inversion mutations in the study were seven in hemophilic patients. The study showed there was a direct relationship between the severity of disease and the mutations in exon 24 and intron 22. So, the ultimate conclusion of this study showed that the most common mutations in Iraqi hemophilic patients were exon 24 mutations and followed by intron 22 mutations. The majority of these mutations occurred in severe cases of haemophilia.

Published: October 2020

The present established analytical method depicts identification of degradation products of letermovir with the aid of U.P.L.C-M.S/M.S. Letermovir was subjected to hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis and thermal pressure, according to with I.C.H conditions. The analyte shows degradation in oxidative and photolysis stress conditions. The analyte elution was finished on an intersil ODS column (150 × 4.6 m.m; 5 μ.m) with polar eluent contains water and methanol (20:80%, v/v) in an isocratic elution mode at a flow rate of 0.6m.L/min. The eluents have been monitored through the use of a U.P.L.C-M.S/M.S and linearity range was obtained from 50-500 ng./m.L. The method was found to be stable and precision study was expressed in %R.S.D, ranged from 0.43 to 1.69. The developed method was validated as per I.C.H guidelines. No prior approach became made concerning degradation behavior of letermovir. The multiple reaction monitoring transitions were set at   and  for Letermovir and Tenofovir disoproxil  respectively. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 50-550.00ng/ml with lower limit of quantification validated at 50ng/mL. The inter and intra-day accuracy values were below 15% at all quality control levels. The within run and between run precisions were within 15%, while accuracy ranged from 97.07 to 101.98. The degradation products were characterized by comparing their collision induced dissociation mass spectral data with that of Letermovir and the most possible degradation and fragmentation pathways were identified.
THE MARKET STRUCTURE: ANALYSIS OF APPROACHES APPLICABLE TO THE RUSSIAN MARKET
Authors: Смирнов Андрей Владимирович
Published: October 2020

Статья посвящена проблеме интеграции методологии анализа трансакционных издержек в общий анализ сделок по слияниям и поглощениям компаний. В условиях усиливающейся конкуренции на международном рынке наукоемких технологий, в целях экономии времени крупные компании вынуждены приобретать сложившиеся коллективы высококвалифицированных специалистов через слияния и поглощения. Однако такая процедура характеризуется высоким порогом экономически неэффективных сделок, что снижает конкурентоспособность всей отрасли. Целью исследования является анализ критериев оценки эффективности стратегии M&A. Научная новизна заключается в синтезе институционального и бухгалтерского подходов, позволяющего сделать вывод, что слияние и поглощение компаний является не просто переходом работников или имущества из одной фирмы в другую, это еще и изменение трансакций, а значит и трансакционных издержек, анализ которых в подавляющем большинстве вымывается при исследовании таких сделок.

The article is devoted to the problem of integrating the methodology of analysis of transaction costs into the general analysis of mergers and acquisitions of companies. In the face of increasing competition in the international market for knowledge-intensive technologies, in order to save time, large companies are forced to acquire established teams of highly qualified specialists through mergers and acquisitions. However, this procedure is characterized by a high threshold of economically inefficient transactions, which reduces the competitiveness of the entire industry. The purpose of the study is to analyze the criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the M & A strategy. The scientific novelty lies in the synthesis of institutional and accounting approaches, which make it possible to conclude that the merger and takeover of companies is not just a transfer of workers or property from one firm to another, it is also a change in transactions, and therefore transaction costs, the analysis of which is overwhelmingly washed out when studying such transactions.

THE REASONS OF THE SOCIALIST ECONOMY COLLAPSE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE USSR)
Authors: Парушев Александр Валерьевич , Толкаченко Галина Львовна
Published: October 2020

Статья освещает экономический рост СССР в период c конца 20-х и до конца 80-х гг. XX века по социалистической модели на основе импортозамещения. Цель статьи раскрыть и обосновать противоречия экономического роста социалистической модели и выявить проблемы роста национальной экономики СССР. Научная новизна представлена авторской гипотезой, состоящей в том, что положение СССР и стран СЭВ носило внутренне неустойчивый характер, и с этого вектора развития не было возможности войти в стагнирующий, но устойчивый режим социалистической экономики с нулевыми и стабильно низкими темпами экономического роста. Падение производства в постсоциалистических странах объясняется, в том числе и невозможностью, поддерживать устойчивое функционирование экономики, сформированной в процессе роста в 70-х-80-х гг. Модель социалистической экономики в настоящее время используют ряд стран, такие как Северная Корея, Куба, Лаос. Статья подробно освещает сильные и слабые стороны этой модели.

The article highlights the features of the economic growth of the USSR in the period of the early 1920s - and the late 1980s according to the socialist model based on import substitution. The authors analyze the contradictions of economic growth of the socialist model and the problems of the growth of the national economy of the USSR. The hypothesis put forward by the author, and then consistently provides evidence, is that the position of the USSR and the CMEA countries was internally unstable and from this vector of development it was not possible to enter the stagnant but stable regime of the socialist economy with zero and stably low rates of economic growth. The decline in production in post-socialist countries is explained not only by the complexity of the approach, but also by the inability to maintain the stable functioning of the economy, formed during the growth process in the 70-80s. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that countries such as North Korea, Cuba, Laos are currently using the socialist economy model and they need to know about the strengths and weaknesses of this model.

El delincuente como persona incapaz para afrontar la vida en sociedad como persona libre debe ser protegido por el Estado de la resistencia de la sociedad y su consecuente tosquedad para sancionar, ello ya que no delinquimos porque decidimos libremente hacerlo sino por otros motivos que el Estado debe enfrentar; luego dicha sanción no puede ser producto de venganza pues debe ser correctora de la iniciativa criminal sobre la base de un análisis psicológico y no conforme a la infracción y atendiendo a la temperamento del autor. En este mismo sentido, el enfoque del caso del reo debe ser personal, sobre la base de la potencial criminalidad que represente (peligrosidad). Luego si partimos de que la pena debe ser correctiva se debe discriminar cuidadosamente los elementos de la vida del delincuente a corregir.

Los antisépticos orales como el flúor, clorhexidina y triclosán pueden encontrarse en productos orales como dentífricos, colutorios, etc. Son una gran alternativa de tratamiento para combatir el desarrollo de enfermedades orales debido a sus actividades antisépticas, antibióticas, antifúngicas, astringentes y antiflamatorias que favorecen a la remineralización de los tejidos duros de los dientes. Se determinó el uso de estos antisépticos orales identificando su modo de acción bioquímica y la dosis de uso adecuado para tratamientos de enfermedad periodontal, y en la prevención frente a la caries dental. Para el desarrollo de este artículo de revisión se hizo uso del buscador académico Google Scholar y se seleccionaron 20 artículos teniendo como criterios de inclusión: que estuvieran en idioma español, que tengan menos de 10 años de publicación y que muestren datos de compuestos químicos de acción microbiana. Los resultados indicaron el modo de acción bioquímica de los tres antisépticos orales, beneficios, contradicciones, actividad antimicrobiana y dosis recomendada en su uso odontológico para niños y adultos, como la clorhexidina en un 0.2 – 0.12% en niños y 0.2 – 0.13% en adultos; el flúor en un 0.05% en niños y 0.05 – 0.2% en adultos y el triclosán en un 0% para niños, por su toxicidad y 0.2 – 0.5% en adultos. Considerando lo anterior es de gran interés odontológico conocer el uso y la acción química de los antisépticos orales antes mencionados (clorhexidina, flúor y triclosán) porque de esta forma se prescribirá la dosis correcta al paciente sin afectar, ni su salud general, ni su salud oral.
Hybrid evolutionary computation methods for quay crane scheduling problems
Authors: Nguyen S , Zhang Mengjie , Johnston M , Tan K Chen
Published: October 2020

Quay crane scheduling is one of the most important operations in seaport terminals. The effectiveness of this operation can directly influence the overall performance as well as the competitive advantages of the terminal. This paper develops a new priority-based schedule construction procedure to generate quay crane schedules. From this procedure, two new hybrid evolutionary computation methods based on genetic algorithm (GA) and genetic programming (GP) are developed. The key difference between the two methods is their representations which decide how priorities of tasks are determined. While GA employs a permutation representation to decide the priorities of tasks, GP represents its individuals as a priority function which is used to calculate the priorities of tasks. A local search heuristic is also proposed to improve the quality of solutions obtained by GA and GP. The proposed hybrid evolutionary computation methods are tested on a large set of benchmark instances and the computational results show that they are competitive and efficient as compared to the existing methods. Many new best known solutions for the benchmark instances are discovered by using these methods. In addition, the proposed methods also show their flexibility when applied to generate robust solutions for quay crane scheduling problems under uncertainty. The results show that the obtained robust solutions are better than those obtained from the deterministic inputs. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Regulation of subtelomeric fungal secondary metabolite genes by H3K4me3 regulators CclA and KdmB
Authors: Lukito Yonathan , Chujo T , Hale TK , Mace W , Johnson LJ , Scott B
Published: October 2020

© 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Studies on the regulation of fungal secondary metabolism highlight the importance of histone H3K4 methylation regulators Set1, CclA (Ash2) and KdmB (KDM5), but it remains unclear whether these proteins act by direct modulation of H3K4me3 at the target genes. In filamentous fungi, secondary metabolite genes are frequently located near telomeres, a site where H3K4 methylation is thought to have a repressive role. Here we analyzed the role of CclA, KdmB and H3K4me3 in regulating the subtelomeric EAS and LTM cluster genes in Epichloë festucae. Depletion of H3K4me3 correlated with transcriptional activation of these genes in ΔcclA, similarly enrichment of H3K4me3 correlated with transcriptional repression of the genes in ΔkdmB which was accompanied by significant reduction in the levels of the agriculturally undesirable lolitrems. These transcriptional changes could only be explained by the alterations in H3K4me3 and not in the subtelomerically-important marks H3K9me3/K27me3. However, H3K4me3 changes in both mutants were not confined to these regions but occurred genome-wide, and at other subtelomeric loci there were inconsistent correlations between H3K4me3 enrichment and gene repression. Our study suggests that CclA and KdmB are crucial regulators of secondary metabolite genes, but these proteins likely act via means independent to, or in conjunction with the H3K4me3 mark.
A One-shot Learning Approach to Image Classification using Genetic Programming
Authors: Al-Sahaf Harith , Zhang Mengjie , Johnston M
Published: October 2020

In machine learning, it is common to require a large number of instances to train a model for classification. In many cases, it is hard or expensive to acquire a large number of instances. In this paper, we propose a novel genetic programming (GP) based method to the problem of automatic image classification via adopting a one-shot learning approach. The proposed method relies on the combination of GP and Local Binary Patterns (LBP) techniques to detect a predefined number of informative regions that aim at maximising the between-class scatter and minimising the within-class scatter. Moreover, the proposed method uses only two instances of each class to evolve a classifier. To test the effectiveness of the proposed method, four different texture data sets are used and the performance is compared against two other GP-based methods namely Conventional GP and Two-tier GP. The experiments revealed that the proposed method outperforms these two methods on all the data sets. Moreover, a better performance has been achieved by Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, and Decision Trees (J48) methods when extracted features by the proposed method have been used compared to the use of domain-specific and Two-tier GP extracted features. © Springer International Publishing 2013.
Binary image classification: A genetic programming approach to the problem of limited training instances
Authors: Al-Sahaf Harith , Zhang Mengjie , Johnston M
Published: October 2020

© 2016 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In the computer vision and pattern recognition fields, image classification represents an important yet difficult task. It is a challenge to build effective computer models to replicate the remarkable ability of the human visual system, which relies on only one or a few instances to learn a completely new class or an object of a class. Recently we proposed two genetic programming (GP) methods, one-shot GP and compound-GP, that aim to evolve a program for the task of binary classification in images. The two methods are designed to use only one or a few instances per class to evolve the model. In this study, we investigate these two methods in terms of performance, robustness, and complexity of the evolved programs. We use ten data sets that vary in difficulty to evaluate these two methods. We also compare them with two other GP and six non-GP methods. The results show that one-shot GP and compound-GP outperform or achieve results comparable to competitor methods. Moreover, the features extracted by these two methods improve the performance of other classifiers with handcrafted features and those extracted by a recently developed GP-based method in most cases.
Ontology-Guided Data Augmentation for Medical Document Classification
Authors: Abdollahi Mahdi , Xiaoying Gao , Yi Mei , Shameek Ghosh , Jinyan Li
Published: October 2020

Extracting meaningful features from unstructured text is one of the most challenging tasks in medical document classification. The various domain specific expressions and synonyms in the clinical discharge notes make it more challenging to analyse them. The case becomes worse for short texts such as abstract documents. These challenges can lead to poor classification accuracy. As the medical input data is often not enough in the real world, in this work a novel ontology-guided method is proposed for data augmentation to enrich input data. Then, three different deep learning methods are employed to analyse the performance of the suggested approach for classification. The experimental results show that the suggested approach achieved substantial improvement in the targeted medical documents classification.

Since the beginning of the 21stcentury social media has expanded world-wide in all aspects of human lives. Mainly for the youth they have been a natural part of their “digital ecosystem”. As the results of the surveys of social media use by teens, carried by the Pew Research Centre, showed, in 2014 in the USA 71 % of teens reported being Facebook users and no other platform was used by a clear majority of the interviewed. In 2018, three further online platforms, other than Facebook, have been reported by the significant majority of the teens. These were YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat. As to Facebook, “only” 51 % of the respondents stated to be Facebook users. Furthermore, smartphone ownership has become a ubiquitous element of teen life. Up to 95 % of teens have reported they have a smartphone or access to one, and 45 % of teens have proclaimed they are online on a near-constant basis. Even more important, they are becoming more and more used, in the time of the world-wide corona pandemic and the need for connection in social quarantine. As for teachers and their opinions on social media, on the one hand they are aware of their usefulness as regards to sharing information or organizing school tasks. But on the other hand, they identify social media as a reason for the pupils and students` low attention during classes at school. But since the youth devote a lot of time to social media, there is no point of not using these means also in education, as shown by the current efforts to organize education processes during the corona pandemic. At the Faculty of Education, Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, we have been aware of the significance of the social media in relation to different aspects of education and pedagogical communication. That is why for several years, attention has been paid to this new education phenomenon. The paper presents the authors experiences with the use of Facebook as a mean of support for education while the main focus is given to the results of a questionnaire survey which examined students` opinions and attitudes towards Facebook (before the pandemic situation), in comparison with Moodle, as a new phenomenon in university education.
Ivan Vahylevych’s mystified biography in Yurii Vynnychuk’s novel “Liutetsiia”
Authors: Bokshan Halyna
Published: October 2020

The study examines the features of the strategies of mythologization and mystification used by Yurii Vynnychuk in creating his literary version of Ivan Vahylevych’s biography in the novel “Liutetsiia”. First of all the paper emphasizes the writer’s inclination to play with historic material characteristic of postmodernism, manifesting itself in most of his works and in the novel under study, in particular. The research pays special attention to the original interaction of mythological and cultural-historical aspects in the fictionalized biography of the renowned public figure of the 19th century, famous for his activity in Ruska Triitsia. It considers the specific features of the literary visualization of Ivan Vahylevych character in the relation to Ivan Franko’s essay representing the epistolary of the figures of the historical epoch depicted in the novel. The study determines the correlation between the personages in “Liutetsiia” and the characters and motives of the Celtic mythology. It identifies the specificity of the reminiscent relations of the main character with the archetypal figure of Don Juan. The conclusions highlight the use of irony, grotesque and comic modus by Yurii Vynnychuk as the manifestation of the neo-mythological device of deheroization. It also accentuates that the strategies of mythologization and mystification in “Liutetsiia” reflect the manner of interpreting cultural-historical material characteristic of the author.

Authors: Vasyliev Yevhenii
Published: October 2020

The tragic events of the Revolution of Dignity and the hybrid war have been reflected in various stylistics and genre parameters of dramatic works. The brightest of them were included in two recent anthologies, which were prepared and published thanks to the efforts of the Department of Drama Projects of the National Center for the Performing Arts named after Les Kurbas. The first of them, “Maidan. Before and After. Anthology of the Actual Drama” (2016), has absorbed 9 plays by the authors of different generations (Yaroslav Vereshchak, Nadiia Symchich, Oleg Mykolaychuk, Neda Nezhdana, Oleksandr Viter, Dmytro Ternovyi, etc.). The completely new second anthology “The Labyrinth of Ice and Fire” (2019) also consists of 9 plays (three of which are also part of the previous anthology), which are the reflections of the modern history of Ukraine. The texts about the hybrid war, which are included in two anthologies, are the subject of our analysis. The focus is on the genre specificity of these drama works. The genre modifications of archaic genres inherent in the Ukrainian theatrical tradition (vertep, mystery) are studied in the plays “Vertep-2015” by Nadiia Marchuk and “Maidan Inferno, or On the Other Side of Hell” by Neda Nezhdana. The functioning of the documentary and epic drama (“The Chestnut and the Lily of the Valley” by Oleg Mykolaychuk, “The People and Cyborgs” by Olena Ponomareva and Dario Fertilio) is analysed. The processes of episation and lyricization are considered. The peculiarities of intergeneric diffusion and the creation of a specific genre type — lyrico-epic drama are analysed. The actual monodramas of Neda Nezhdana “The Cat in Memory of the Darkness” and “OTVETKA@ UA” are highlighted, as well as the intermedial character of the genre transformations of Igor Yuziuk’s drama “C-sharp Sixth Octave”
Women’s images in the medical discourse of the US autobiographical novels
Authors: Lysanets Yuliia
Published: October 2020

The aim of the research is to develop the typology and examine the features of women’s representations in the US literary works, focused on medical problematics.The research methodology is based on the application of modern literary studies in the fields of narratology, receptive aesthetics and literary hermeneutics. The paper analyses the author’s intentions and the role of the reader’s reception of medical discourse through the prism of gender studies and feminist literary criticism. We analyse the semi-autobiographical prose works by the American writers: “The Snake Pit” (1946) by Mary Jane Ward, “The Bell Jar” (1963) by Sylvia Plath, and “Prozac Nation” (1994) by Elizabeth Wurtzel. The theoretical significance of the research consists in the disclosure of women’s representations in the American literary and medical discourse in the diachronic focus. We examine the role of women as physicians, the peculiarities of representing women as nurses, as well as the narrative role of women as patients. The research is the first scientific attempt to examine the peculiarities of narrative representation of women in the literary and medical discourse of the US prose. The research demonstrates the transformation of women’s representations in the analysed novels, which directly reflects the emancipation tendencies over the course of the 20th century. These changes are naturally displayed in the narrative configuration of the prose works under consideration. The study of medical problems in a literary work through the prism of narratology and receptive aesthetics reveales the author’s intentionality and dimensions of the reader’s reception, as well as enables us to re-consider the socio-cultural phenomena, such as illness and health, norm and pathology. The results of the study will improve the content of training courses in the world literature and form a methodological basis for the development of special courses, theme-based seminars and academic syllabi.
How well can differences in gender explain student reactions to written corrective feedback to multiple draft essays in an EFL context?
Authors: GEÇKİN Vasfiye
Published: October 2020

This paper explores whether gender differences can account for reactions and preferences of tertiary level students to written corrective feedback (WCF) given to their multiple draft essays in an EFL setting in Turkey. The specific areas under investigation are (a) how much of the feedback given to the preliminary and final drafts are read and paid attention to, (b) the preferred (i) main feedback providing agent(s) (ii) method(s) of correction, (iii) language of feedback, (c) the beliefs on (i) the content of feedback (ii) what needs to be corrected in multiple draft essays and finally (d) students’ self-evaluations of their writing skills in L2 English. By adopting a structured survey approach, the data were collected from 160 students (half females) who responded to a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire (α=.85) adapted from Ferris (1995) and Lee (2008). Independent sample T-test results revealed that both groups read most of the WCF given to their preliminary drafts but only some of the WCF given to their final drafts, preferred English as the language of WCF and had no trouble comprehending the feedback given in English. The writing instructor was the preferred main feedback providing agent for both groups. The female students differed significantly from their male peers in that the females asked for more content related feedback to their first drafts, grammar and lexical feedback to their final drafts, preferred coded feedback and valued a combination of comments, corrections and teacher grades more than the males did.
