An Economic Analysis of Personal Earnings in Rawalpindi
City
Authors: Haque Nadeem Ul
Published: August 2018

The intent of this paper is to delineate the determinants of
the distribution of income in Rawalpindi city. The basic hypothesis to
be tested is that for each individual, personal earnings are a function
of his socio-economic char¬acteristics such as age, sex, education, and
the like. If the hypothesis bears out, the disparity of incomes within
the city would then prove to be a conse¬quence of the variation in these
individual characteristics. It would then be of interest to quantify the
effect of each of these determinants on the eventual distribution of
income.
Attitudes, Contraceptive Practice and Children Ever Born Among
Currently Married Women Exposed to Different Types of Communication
Media, Pakistan
Authors: Shah Nasra M. , Kazi S. Firasat A.
Published: August 2018

The Pakistan population planning programme, in its effort to
recruit family planning adopters in order to lower birth rates, has used
a broad range of communication media to convey its messages. Mass media
like radio, television and cinema have carried the message and field
workers have been hired specially to provide the information and
services. Various com¬binations of personnel ranging from the illiterate
local midwives to educated male-female teams have been tried. The
programme has undergone many changes since it was reformulated in 1965.
It is currently imparting its messages both through mass media and
interpersonal channels. Both male and female workers are still being
used at the grassroots level although the set up is undergoing certain
organizational and administrative changes.
A Note on the Rank-Size Rule and Future Urban Growth Patterns in
Pakistan
Authors: Heitmann George , Robinson Warren C. , Salter Jean Karen
Published: August 2018

Urbanization is an integral part of the overall process of
economic and social development. There is growing evidence that this is
the case for Pakistan also. Pakistan in 1972 was nearly 27 percent urban
and today is perhaps 30 percent plus urban. The probable distribution by
size of place of this growth is of great importance for economic and
social planning yet curiously it has received very little scholarly
investigation as yet-[7], is an exception and the present article should
be viewed as an extension to Helbock's work. In searching for some model
or theoretical statement in the literature regarding what the future
hierarchy of urban place in Pakistan will look like, Helbock is
naturally lead to the "Rank-Size Rule" vs. "Primate City" question.
After examining the 1961 and 1972 census data on urban places by size of
place, he concludes that the "Rank-Size" distribution does not
adequately describe the Pakistan urban hierarchy.

Authors: Flores Vivar Jesús Miguel
Published: August 2018

El artículo analiza la inclusión de las neurociencias como la antropología y la etnografía en el estudio de las audiencias en internet. Estas disciplinas, al ser aplicadas en entornos digitales, derivan en nombres como ciberantropología, antropología digital y etnografía virtual. Estas adquieren relevancia en los procesos comunicativos de la gente mediada por ordenador, y están influenciadas por las nuevas formas narrativas, proponiéndose un enfoque más transversal y multidisciplinario en el estudio de usuarios con el objetivo de conocer y detectar las necesidades de los mismos, así como conocer con profundidad el fenómeno de masas que se alinean en las redes sociales utilizando diferentes dispositivos móviles. Finalmente, se sugieren algunos pasos adicionales para la articulación de una antropología del ciberperiodismo, explorando las implicaciones de las disciplinas tratadas como estrategias innovadoras en el estudio del periodismo y comunicación.

Entre palabras, imágenes e indigenismos: estudio comparativo entre Amauta y Boletín Titikaka
Authors: Villanueva Ccahuana Philarine Stefany
Published: August 2018

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo demostrar que, en la década de 1920, el discurso del indigenismo que se manifestaba en las revistas culturales a través de sus textos escritos y visuales no era homogéneo, sino se articulaba con otros indigenismos dentro de un campo cultural complejo y heterodoxo. Concretamente, se estudian las propuestas estético-ideológicas de dos revistas y cómo estas se articulan: Amauta (Lima, 1926-1930) y Boletín Titikaka (Puno, 1926- 1930). Se concluye que el indigenismo tenía un significado fluctuante en tanto era definido e interpretado de diversas maneras, las cuales se expresaron a través del discurso escrito y visual de las publicaciones de la época.
El señor, el lirismo y la sangre. Una aproximación literaria y lingüística al harawi quechua de Kilku Warak’a en la poética de Yawar Para
Authors: Quispe Collantes Roxana
Published: August 2018

En este artículo analizo algunos recursos presentes en Yawar Para (Lluvia de sangre), un poemario publicado entre las décadas de 1960 y 1970. Mi objetivo es aproximarme a la poesía escrita por una de las cumbres de la expresión poética en quechua, Killku Warak’a (seudónimo de Andrés Alencastre Gutiérrez). En Yawar Para, el poeta alude al dolor como una fuerza que posibilita la transfiguración y que responde a la ausencia de los seres queridos, desde el llamado a la filiación y la evocación de la angre. Ofrezco una lectura bilingüe de sus poemas, así como una mirada crítica a la mediación del poeta como voz de los runakuna (hombres quechua). El método empleado es el análisis de los recursos poéticos del autor para expresar su vinculación con el quechua. Evidencia un llaki phuyu (nube cargada de tristeza) que vierte una incesante y sangrienta lluvia sobre el runa.

Social Function and Motivation in the Aging Brain
Authors: Gutchess Angela , Samanez-Larkin Gregory Russell
Published: August 2018

In this chapter, we review some themes from the emerging literature on the social neuroscience of aging. Much of the research thus far focuses on abilities at the intersection of social function and emotion, such as empathy or thinking about the self or other people. Intriguingly, findings from social and motivational tasks largely depart from the lessons about brain aging derived from cognitive tasks. There are hints that strategy or goal shifts across the life span may underlie some of the age differences, which illustrate the importance of considering task context and motivation across the life span.
International cooperation networks of the BRICS bloc
Authors: de Oliveira Thaiane Moreira , de Albuquerque Sofia , Toth Janderson Pereira , Bello Debora Zava
Published: August 2018

Since the BRICS Declaration in Cape Town in 2013, its five member countries have committed to cooperation programs in science, technology and innovation (STI), based on the five strategic thematic areas assigned to each signatory: climate change and mitigation of catastrophes (Brazil); water resources and pollution treatment (Russia); geospatial technology and its applications (India); new and renewable energy, and energy efficiency (China); and astronomy (South Africa). Five years after the Declaration and almost a decade after the First BRICS Summit, the evaluation of the strengthening of international cooperation among countries remains a challenge, due to their low presence in the large index databases commonly used for the collection of scientific data, such as Web of Science and Scopus. The proposal of this research is to carry out a study on international cooperation among the countries in the last five years through the Dimensions platform, based on the incidence of international co-authoring and co-financing of research agencies from the five countries, seeking to highlight the following points: the networks that consolidate themselves from the international cooperation among the BRICS countries, areas emerging in research with incidences of co-authorship, and how the research networks have been developed around the five strategic areas defined in the BRICS Cape Town Declaration. It aims to evaluate how the international cooperation of the BRICS bloc in strategic thematic areas has been growing, pointing to possible areas of strengthening of international partnerships that can be deployed through this study.

Technology in the Language Classroom: How Social Media is Changing the Way EFL is Taught
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Alshenqeeti Hamza
Published: August 2018

This paper explores how technology, and specifically the application of social media, in the English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom is changing how language is taught. The paper begins with a depiction of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and how technology has generally been employed in EFL classrooms in the past few decades. This critical appraisal, which provides the context for the paper, assesses how successfully technology has been viewed in relation to language teaching and learning and how it has developed up to the present day. The focus then moves to social media apps and mobile technology as a contemporary form of CALL. The discussion considers the ways in which social media is used in language classrooms and more importantly the things it can offer the EFL teacher and learner. Importantly, the paper concludes by proposing ways in which these types of technologies can be better incorporated across cultures and contexts to promote EFL teaching and learning.
How to Use L2 Movies Effectively to Learn New Vocabulary: A New Theoretical Perspective
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Alharthi Abdulrahman Abdullah
Published: August 2018

This paper explores the impact of first language (L1) and second language (L2) subtitles in films. From a new perspective, the paper looks at the role of repetition as a separate entity that influences vocabulary learning despite subtitle types. To maximise vocabulary acquisition, the paper recommends that learners should be exposed to repeated input. The repetition should be comprehensible and to reach a comprehensible input, subtitles could be then considered. Overall, L1 subtitles are preferred for low proficiency learners whilst L2 subtitles could be geared towards high proficiency learners since the aim behind watching movies in the target language is to have a comprehensible input. Nonetheless, different subtitles should be used to facilitate the meaning and not as a final tool of acquiring new vocabulary as this acquisition will take place with repetition. Thus, the current paper could form a starting point in an approach that lays emphasis on repetition in movies watching rather than using a particular type of subtitle
Constructing Identities Online- An Exploratory Study of Saudi Youths’ Strategies
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Alenezi Mohammed Qurait , Kebble Paul G. , Fluck Andrew , Yang Yang , Bown Andy
Published: August 2018

Language is used not only for communication but also for enacting multiple identities to reveal information about oneself such as who we are, where we come from, who we believe in etc. This is done by means of using a tribe, gender, region or a country specific dialect, accent, sociolect, vocabulary or phrase to identify oneself with a specific tribe, gender, social class or ethnic group, a region or a nation. Greetings such as-‘Assalamualeikum’ (‘peace be with you’), ‘God bless’, ‘Shalom’ (‘peace’) are used by people to identify oneself with a particular faith (Muslim, Christian and Jewish respectively). Thus, language use serves here as a means of constructing religious identity. Region and tribe specific dialects, accents and sociolects are also used to construct regional, social class, ethnic or tribal identities. This process of identity construction occurs both in the real world as well as in a virtual reality on-line, where people can either take their real identity with them or construct an on-line identity that can be as divergent as they wish. As on-line communication gains significance in everyone’s life, research on the nature of this communication is required to uncover various underlying issues governing this type of communication. In this respect, the present study aimed to explore the strategies and ways in which language and other means were used by Saudi Arabian youths to construct and enact their various identities such as gender, social class, tribal, regional, religious etc. To this end, a social networking website was designed and Saudi youths (aged between 18 to 30 years) were invited to participate by posting and chatting online on the website. Of such posts, around 300 comments were selected for the content analysis. The analysis of these comments posted by 71 Saudi females and 85 males over two months revealed that Saudi youths used their language on-line to construct and enact their gender, tribal, regional, religious identities. Participants were seen to be using their tribe, region, gender, religion and Arab culture related words and phrases to construct and reveal their tribal, regional, gender, religious and cultural identities consciously and unconsciously.

Published: August 2018

The research was conducted to study students’ perceptions of a student-produced video project (SPV project) in the context of the General English Language Course at Srinakharinwirot University in Thailand. First year students with a pre-intermediate level of English language proficiency, who were enrolled in the General English Language course, were assigned to work on a SPV project that required them to make a short video related to content learnt in class. There were four main objectives of the SPV project which were: (1) to provide an environment that allows students to grasp a deeper understanding of the topic learnt in class; (2) to enhance English language proficiency as well as creativity and problem-solving skills; (3) to promote the use of Information and communication technology (ICT) in language teaching and learning and (4) to provide a collaborative working environment among students. There were 450 students who participated in this project. A questionnaire on the perceptions of the SPV project was administered to 107 students. It covered three aspects (1) the improvement of students’ English language proficiency and life skills, (2) the use of technological tools and (3) collaboration among peers. Questionnaires results were statistically analyzed and reported in descriptive statistics. Findings indicated that students had positive perceptions toward the SPV projects in all three aspects. The aspect that received the highest mean value was that of collaboration among peers. This paper advocates the use of SPV projects as feasible and adaptable language projects suitable for the language learning in the 21st century.

Authors: Journal Arab World English , Mahfouz Iman
Published: August 2018

Computer-aided Translation (CAT) tools have become indispensable in most organizations, with major benefits including increasing productivity, unifying terminology and minimizing translation costs. With both positive and negative feedback being reported about these systems, it is imperative to further explore users’ attitudes to CAT tools. Given the scarcity of research conducted in this field on the English-Arabic language pair, the present study attempts to examine users’ attitudes to CAT tools among 114 translation students and professional translators in Egypt. The main purpose of the research is to examine user attitudes towards these tools with specific reference to their perceived benefits, ease of use and compatibility. The survey instrument was adapted from Moore and Benbasat with some modifications. Drawing upon Dillon and Fraser’s premises, the research investigates the relationship between user attitudes to CAT tools and various factors, including years of experience, computer skills and type of texts translated. Semi-structured interviews were also used to achieve a mixed-method. The study points to an overall favorable attitude among participants towards using CAT tools, despite some mixed and contradicting opinions on some aspects. The findings also confirm that users with better computer skills have more favorable attitudes towards CAT tools unlike those with more experience in translation. The study concludes with some recommendations for future research.
