Traces of American English in Pakistani English: A Comparative Multi-dimensional Study of Press Editorials
Authors: Muhammad Ali  , Muhammad Sheeraz
Published: March 2021

This study explores the linguistic variation of periodized data of Pakistani press editorials in comparison with American press editorials. Most of the previous research studies conducted on Pakistani English, in general, and press editorial, in particular, compare Pakistani English with British English. No study compares Pakistani press editorials from a period to American press editorials. To trace the influence of American English on Pakistani English, this study explores the phases of Pakistani press editorials that resemble or differ from American press editorials. Biber’s (1988) multi-dimensional modal was used as a theoretical framework for this study. It exploited a diachronic corpus of Pakistani press editorials which was divided into three temporally distanced phases: 1947-1951, 1971-1975, and 2012- 2016. The Biber tagger was employed to annotate grammatical features. To draw a comparison, Nini’s (2015) MAT results of the American (Brown) corpus were utilized. The regression method was used for the computation of factor scores and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to draw a comparison between the diachronic data of Pakistani press editorials and American press editorials. The findings indicate that phase 3 of Pakistani press editorials is the closest to American press editorials in producing informational and explicit discourse. Phase 1 of Pakistani press editorials and American press editorials are quite close in non-narrative and abstract style in their discourse production. Moreover, phase 2 of Pakistani press editorials and American press editorials with a small difference in mean scores produce overt expression of persuasion.

Authors:   Samara Law Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, Sevostyanova A.G.
Published: March 2021

The article examines the process and features of social competence development of departmental universities` cadets as future penal officers. The concept of “competence-based model of personnel training” is characterized. In modern social and cultural conditions, the effectiveness of the upbringing process is associated with the creation of a developing educational environment in society as a system of conditions and opportunities for personal self-development. The organization of upbringing as a pedagogical process in a university is considered as effective not only within the framework of traditional pedagogy, based on the principles of which the process of upbringing departmental universities` cadets is a unidirectional transfer of previous samples of cultural and historical experience and the reproduction of its already "ready" values, cultural forms, norms and rules of social interaction and communication. The main educational goals of higher education in modern social and economic conditions are analyzed, which consist in the formation of social and professional competence in graduates, in the upbringing of the cadet` personality of a departmental university with the qualities of civic responsibility and patriotism, actively participating in the economic and social, cultural life of the country.

Impact of proprioception on the perceived size and distance of external objects in a virtual action task
Authors: Kirsch Wladimir , Kunde Wilfried , Herbort Oliver
Published: March 2021

Previous research has revealed changes in the perception of objects due to changes of object-oriented actions. In present study, we varied the arm and finger postures in the context of a virtual reaching and grasping task and tested whether this manipulation can simultaneously affect the perceived size and distance of external objects. Participants manually controlled visual cursors, aiming at reaching and enclosing a distant target object, and judged the size and distance of this object. We observed that a visual–proprioceptive discrepancy introduced during the reaching part of the action simultaneously affected the judgments of target distance and of target size (Experiment 1). A related variation applied to the grasping part of the action affected the judgments of size, but not of distance of the target (Experiment 2). These results indicate that perceptual effects observed in the context of actions can directly arise through sensory integration of multimodal redundant signals and indirectly through perceptual constancy mechanisms.
Albanians in Greece and the social meaning of ethnolectal features in L2 Greek
Authors: Ndoci Rexhina
Published: March 2021

Albanian migrants in Greece constitute the largest ethnic minority in the country, amounting to roughly 5% of the total population. The reception of these Albanian migrants has not been smooth and rather has been marked by “extreme xenophobic and racist discourse” (Archakis 2020:5) towards the members of the ethnic community. This discourse is also evident online where it often takes the form of internet memes which target Albanians and their L2 Greek (Ndoci 2021, forthcoming a). In this paper I investigate the social perception of the features of this Albanian L2 Greek through a matched guise experiment. My findings show that individuals who produce Albanian L2 features in their Greek are negatively stigmatized, either overtly or covertly, similarly to the way in which Albanian migrants have been stigmatized in the Greek context. This stigmatization seems to be exhibited both by members of the ethnic group itself and by members of the host community (i.e. Greeks). Moreover, the two groups appear to have differential awareness of the systems of ethnic, regional, and accented Greek that is the product of their experience with the varieties.
Design finite element method based models of floating dry docks strength
Authors: Mironov Anatoly , Titko Dmitry Y.
Published: March 2021

The features of global strength modelling of floating dry docks using finite element method are considered. Comparative analysis of two- and three-dimensional models was performed considering the interaction of the floating dry dock and the ship. To solve the problem of reducing the complexity of creating and the size of the finite element model, it is proposed to use the elements of a volumetric orthotropic body to model the main transverse beams of the pontoon. Hydrostatic elastic base of floating dry dock is represented as spring elements. The model of the dock support device includes spring and gap elements. The vessel is considered in the equivalent beam model. Results were obtained on such effects as redistribution of buoyant force due to deformation of the dock, incomplete inclusion of the towers in the general longitudinal bending of the dock, the effect of ship stiffness not only on the longitudinal, but also on the transverse bending of the dock.

Authors: Podkorytova Daria A.
Published: March 2021

This article is devoted to the reconstruction and strengthening of structures of the bolverk type. The paper describes the calculation of the active ground pressure on the berth wall of the bolverk type when the latter is reinforced by unloading piles in the backfill of the wall. The aim of the work is to assess the change in the degree of impact of active ground pressure when changing the distance from the unloading piles to the mooring wall. This author calculated, which are identified and shown with the help of nomograms and graphs based on active earth pressure from the main characteristics of the soil, spacing of discharge piles, the angle of internal friction, the distance from the unloading of the piles to the wall; the options considered overlapping discharge zones without overlap; the resulting coefficients reduce the load under various conditions of construction. The proposed calculation allows us to estimate the unloading effect of the use of piles in the backfill of existing berth walls of the bolverk type.

Authors: Silva Taynara Batista , Soares Viviane
Published: March 2021

A qualidade de vida é uma variável que estuda a multidimensionalidade das variáveis que compõem a vida de um indivíduo. Já o estresse é uma resposta fisiológica perante uma situação qualquer e atua como um fator de proteção para o organismo, o qual em níveis elevados podem acarretar adoecimento. Uma boa qualidade de vida e um baixo nível de estresse são sinônimos de uma vida com uma melhor saúde, especialmente em adolescentes e crianças. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi correlacionar a qualidade de vida e aspectos relacionados ao estresse/ansiedade de crianças/adolescentes. Foi realizado um quantitativo transversal com 31 crianças/adolescentes de ambos os sexos (13,8 ±1,1 anos) de uma Escola Municipal da cidade de Gameleira de Goiás. Como instrumentos foram utilizados os questionados PedsQL™  e EPS-10. Por resultados foi observado que tanto ao analisar a média dos domínios tanto quanto a qualidade de vida no geral a amostra enquadrou-se com escores positivos. Houve correlação negativa dos domínios atividades diárias (<0.04), saúde (<0.01*), convívio (<0.01*) e escore total da qualidade de vida (<0.01*) com o EPS-10. Sugere-se que à medida que se aumenta os escores da qualidade de vida, há uma diminuição dos escores de estresse, pois a correlação é inversamente proporcional. Conclui-se que que a amostra apresentou uma boa qualidade de vida, exceto pela variável saúde, e sugere-se que a qualidade de vida e o estresse são inversamente proporcionais exceto pela variável escola na amostra analisada.

Afrique du Nord : l’État à l’épreuve des révoltes
Authors: Martinez Luis
Published: March 2021

Historiquement les nations d’Afrique du Nord ont trouvé dans la contestation de l’oppression coloniale les liens qui les unissent : dans les États postcoloniaux, quels sont les liens qui unissent encore les individus, les groupes et les communautés ? Qu’est-ce qui fait encore « tenir ensemble » ces États-nations ? Si l’intérêt général n’est pas au cœur de l’action de l’État, comment maintenir les liens de loyauté ? Depuis les indépendances, des révoltes et des émeutes structurent les relations entre la société et ces États, qui parviennent à chaque fois à restaurer l’ordre. Ces États sont alors perçus et analysés comme « robustes » tant ils semblent maîtriser ce désordre. L’irruption inattendue et imprévisible des révoltes arabes est un véritable défi pour les États d’Afrique du Nord. Cet article analyse les réponses des États à ces questions et souligne la difficulté des dirigeants de l’Afrique du Nord face à la fragilité des communautés politiques et à la faiblesse des instruments étatiques pour arriver à faire vivre, en paix, la nation dans sa diversité et sa pluralité.
Probing of Carrier Motion and Contact Electrification by Using Electric-Field-Induced Second-Harmonic Generation
Authors: LEE Kyutae
Published: March 2021

Triboelectric generation has attracted significant interest for its potential as an eco-friendly way to produce power with a greatly increasing power density, thereby opening the door to various applications. Although the triboelectricity effect is one of the oldest research areas and an enormous amount of effort has been put forth in developing it for many applications, its physical origin remains a mystery. Particularly, the complexity of triboelectrification causes the motion of charge carriers, including charge generation, charge separation, and other charging processes, to be vague. A novel approach based on optical second-harmonic generation technology has shown great promise in directly monitoring the dynamic performance of the triboelectricity effect and hence visualizing the spatial distribution of triboelectric charges. In this article, several works on the direct probing of carrier motion in organic transistors and in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells and of contact electrification by using an optical second-harmonic generation technique will be briefly introduced and discussed after second-harmonic generation and electric-field-induced second-harmonic generation have been described.
Le Brexit et la place de l’Angleterre dans une Constitution en crise : l’exemple de la réforme « English votes for English laws »
Authors: Rocheron Kévin
Published: March 2021

Face à la montée du nationalisme anglais et aux problèmes posés par la West Lothian Question (le fait que les députés écossais étaient en mesure de voter sur des affaires ne concernant que l’Angleterre), David Cameron a décidé, le lendemain du référendum sur l’indépendance de l’Écosse le 19 septembre 2014, de répondre par la réforme EVEL (English Votes for English Laws). Cette réforme, qui avait pour objectif de faire entendre la voix d’une Angleterre qui se sentait délaissée au profit des trois nations dévolues, n’a toutefois pas permis d’endiguer la montée nationaliste anglaise puisque l’Angleterre décidait, six mois plus tard, d’exprimer son souhait de sortir de l’Union européenne, entrainant alors le Royaume-Uni tout entier avec elle.Cet article vise à comprendre le mécanisme EVEL et les symptômes que cette réforme partage avec le Brexit, tout d’abord dans le constat (soit la montée nationaliste anglaise), puis dans la réponse politique de David Cameron (motivée par des raisons internes au parti conservateur), et enfin dans sa traduction juridique (deux réformes constitutionnelles pensées à la hâte et aux conséquences incertaines). Ainsi, à partir du cas d’EVEL, cet article permettra d’élargir la réflexion sur la très forte politisation de la Constitution et ses effets pervers sur les institutions britanniques.
Personal and Professional Support
Authors: Elufiede Kemi , Barker-Stucky Carissa
Published: March 2021

This chapter provides strategies for successfully completing writing projects with the support of the community through personal and professional development support. This type of support is established through education, social development, and action planning. Individuals and groups often feel that writing is a solo activity and fail to seek additional resources, but writing is part of the larger community. Writing is the craft of art that is distributed to the community in various forms. Literature related to writing resources, personal, and professional development is reviewed. The authors explain the psychology of inspiration through its etymology, from the word for breathing in. They then recommend a framework for creating writing inspiration, which includes becoming the expert, engaging the interest, developing the objectives, and promoting the concept.
Crafting Intellectual and Program Interconnectedness in the Classroom
Authors: Lawrence Carolyn
Published: March 2021

This chapter explores the instructional observation of the utilization of interest-centric project design within an Introduction to Humanities course at a technical college in Georgia and how it can stand as a guide for productive interdisciplinary instruction and learning. The project came about through student expressed interests and assisted in the formulation of an interdisciplinary environment through discussion and experimentation. This chapter is a reflection on the information garnered by the author on how interdisciplinary, design thinking-centric projects can be successful within a college classroom if student interests are included in the production of projects and students are allowed a say in the development of the course instruction. This chapter merely stands as a testament that student inclusion and interdisciplinary projects can be successful if applied appropriately.
The Changing Landscape of Plagiarism
Authors: Coberly-Holt Patricia G. , Keech Karsen N.
Published: March 2021

Plagiarism is a term that one becomes familiar with in high school with increasing consequences in post-secondary education. As we progress in our education, we are alerted to the dangers of plagiarism, but do we all share the same understanding of the term? A review of the literature demonstrates that not all professional journals, editors, or academicians are aligned with what is considered plagiarism. The issue becomes more complicated when defining the length of copied text that constitutes plagiarism and the intentionality of the act of plagiarism. This chapter reviews the plethora of definitions of plagiarism, different types, and inconsistencies and consequences overtime to bring to light the myriad interpretations and manifestations of the elusive interpretations.

Effective management of teamwork is essential in active and collaborative learning environments. Teamwork encompasses numerous aspects related to team formation, conflicts, and performance, with several effective practices being discussed in the literature. Tuckman's framework on the four stages of team development describes how teams evolve, passing through the four sequential stages of forming, storming, norming, and performing. The objective of this study was to identify good practices of teamwork spanning all of Tuckman's four stages. A survey was designed based on a literature review of effective teamwork strategies for each of the stages of team development. The purpose of the survey was to examine how practitioners in higher education adopt these teamwork strategies. The survey results highlight the most effective teamwork practices for each team development stage. This chapter contributes to the understanding of effective teamwork strategies identified in the literature on teaching in higher education.

Authors: Rehman Tansif Ur
Published: March 2021

Countries in the developing world, as well as the developed world, are now exploring different ways of facilitating their development process through deployment and exploitation of ICTs within their economies to gain optimum output. More and more facilities are being offered by banks to facilitate their costumers with ease as well as convenience regarding e-banking. Digital enterprise transformation facilitates financial services organizations via enabling them to be more secure, compliant, as well as being digital. It modifies the experience of employees, partners, customers, and stakeholders. But, in Pakistan, this is not the case. As, people still refrain from using ICTs and e-banking in Pakistan, because of various issues. In spite of the fact that the literature encompassing remittances and criminal offenses is limited. Remittances sent by relatives from overseas are an imperative source of domestic income in the South Asian region. But unfortunately, its influence on crime has mainly been unexplored.

It is useful in ascertaining the impression of a research article. It is useful in learning more about an area of knowledge. The main objective of this chapter is to provide knowledge about web citation analysis. A brief overview of web citation index, citation styles, citation-based metrics, and research challenges are discussed.
Young Adults' Sense of Belonging in the Context of SNS and Cyberspace Usage
Authors: Markoc Ilkim , Sari Haksever Tuba
Published: March 2021

People have become more mobile with advances in transportation technologies. This has led to higher use of cyberspace and social network sites, and people have started socializing over cyberspace instead of meeting in physical spaces. This study analyses this process from a “uses and gratification theory” perspective and addresses how people's sense of belonging to physical places changes through gratification achieved in cyberspace. Literature was reviewed, and a two-phase field study was designed. First, samples in various age groups (n=105) were asked questions about their sense of belonging, cyberspace, and SNS usage; then, a questionnaire of quantitative and semi-structured qualitative questions was conducted with young people (n=285). As a result of this study, up-to-date data were obtained about Istanbul's young people (18-30) and their relationship with physical space, SNS, and cyberspace. The original contribution of this study to literature is that whilst addiction to cyberspace draws young people away from a physical place, they maintain strong interaction with the world.
An Association Rule Mining Approach to Discover Demand and Supply Patterns Based on Thai Social Media Data
Authors: Tanantong Tanatorn , Ramjan Sarawut
Published: March 2021

In the digital age, social media technology has an important role as a communication platform for interpersonal interactions in the online virtual world. In addition, social media has impacted product exchange behavior in both vendors and buyers, with a shift from the traditional sales model to communication between parties via social media. Social media marketing, an online means of buying, selling, and exchanging goods and services, is increasingly popular due to convenience, speed, and greater choices. This trend has grown rapidly and is set to expand, leading to increased interest in research which analyzes and processes social media marketing data to gain a new integrated body of knowledge to better serve online business transactions. This research covers a new field, which may cause research and development limitations requiring background knowledge in several areas, such as digital technology, data analytics, and business analysis. This research aims to develop a framework to search for association rule mining of demand and supply data on social media platforms. Data is collected from Twitter and underwent cleansing and labeling for separating into five groups. Hashtag data from tweets is then extracted and transformed to input attributes of the framework. Next, association rule mining is performed using the Apriori algorithm in order to determine frequent items and extract candidate association rules. The last stage is rule selection, which uses Twitter-specific statistical attributes, that is, number of retweets and likes, to select highly effective association rules. The findings are that it is possible to mine association rules relating to demand and supply on Twitter. Based on an analysis of the association rule results, the content of those rules reflects trending activities and events at different times. Such information can be analyzed in further research to design improvements in social media marketing.
Building a Document-Oriented Warehouse Using NoSQL
Authors: Ben Messaoud Ines , Alshdadi Abdulrahman A. , Feki Jamel
Published: March 2021

The traditional data warehousing approaches should adapt to take into consideration novel needs and data structures. In this context, NoSQL technology is progressively gaining a place in the research and industry domains. This paper proposes an approach for building a NoSQL document-oriented warehouse (DocW). This approach has two methods, namely 1) document warehouse builder and 2) NoSQL-Converter. The first method generates the DocW schema as a galaxy model whereas the second one translates the generated galaxy into a document-oriented NoSQL model. This relies on two types of rules: structure and hierarchical rules. Furthermore, in order to help understanding the textual results of analytical queries on the NoSQL-DocW, the authors define two semantic operators S-Drill-Up and S-Drill-Down to aggregate/expand the terms of query. The implementation of our proposals uses MangoDB and Talend. The experiment uses the medical collection Clef-2007 and two metrics called write request latency and read request latency to evaluate respectively the loading time and the response time to queries.

A sample of 22 financially distressed firms along with 33 financially non-distressed firms have been used to conduct this study. Artificial neural network was used as the basic approach to the study in predicting financial distress. A neural network to predict financial distress was developed with an accuracy of 85.7% one year prior to its occurrence. The second analysis conducted was the panel regression considering five years of cross-sectional data for the sample of companies selected. This analysis was able to identify a significant relationship of leverage, price-to-book ratio and Tobin's Q ratio to the prediction of financial distress of a firm.
