Autonomer dank Algorithmen?
Authors: KÖHNE SONJA , KLÖPPER MIRIAM , RICHTHOFEN GEORG VON , SEND HENDRIK
Published: January 2024

In den Diskussionen um People Analytics (PA) stehen häufig potenzielle Entscheidungshilfen und Effizienzgewinne für Unternehmen im Fokus: Durch die systematische Sammlung und algorithmisch gestützte Analyse von Personaldaten verspricht PA, Handlungsempfehlungen zu liefern, die personalstrategische Entscheidungen optimieren und die Produktivität steigern. Dieser Beitrag untersucht PA aus dem Blickwinkel der Selbstbestimmungstheorie und fragt danach, wie PA sich auf Autonomie, Kompetenz und soziale Einbindung von Beschäftigten positiv oder negativ auswirken kann. Die Selbstbestimmungstheorie geht davon aus, dass die Motivation und schließlich auch das Wohlbefinden und die Leistung von Individuen gesteigert werden können, indem deren psychologischen Grundbedürfnisse nach Autonomie, Kompetenz und sozialer Einbindung erfüllt werden. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass hierbei Zielkonflikte zwischen Management und Beschäftigten existieren können. Diese beziehen sich auf Autonomie und Kontrolle, Kompetenz und Standardisierung sowie soziale Einbindung und Effizienz. Abschließend identifiziert der Beitrag Handlungsansätze anhand der drei übergreifenden Prinzipien Transparenz, Training und Teilhabe, die eine Umsetzung von PA im Sinne der Selbstbestimmung unterstützen können.
Künstliche Intelligenz und Gender – eine Frage diskursiver (Gegen-)Macht?
Authors: CARSTENSEN TANJA , GANZ KATHRIN
Published: January 2024

Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) gewinnt in der Arbeitswelt zunehmend an Relevanz. Auffällig ist vor allem die intensive diskursive Auseinandersetzung um KI, die in Medien, Politik und Wissenschaft geführt wird und in der zum Teil weitreichende Erwartungen formuliert werden. Ein festes Thema in diesen Diskursen um die Relevanz von KI für die zukünftige Arbeitswelt ist dabei auch die Frage, inwiefern sich Geschlechterungleichheiten verändern werden. Der Beitrag fragt nach den Implikationen von KI für vergeschlechtlichte Machtverhältnisse in betrieblichen Kontexten. Basierend auf empirischen Ergebnissen aus dem Projekt „Gender, Künstliche Intelligenz und die Arbeit der Zukunft“ wird anhand von fünf Themen diskutiert, inwiefern sich im Kontext der Verbreitung von und Diskussion über KI Veränderungen von Machtungleichheiten identifizieren lassen, die aus Geschlechterperspektiven Ansatzpunkte für betriebliche Gegenmacht sein können: 1. Ideal-Worker-Normen im Wandel, 2. Diskriminierung durch KI-Systeme, 3. KI-Entwicklung als Domäne weißer junger Männer als Sackgasse ; 4. unbezahlte und unsichtbare Arbeit und 5. die Effekte von Automatisierung auf innerbetriebliche Machtverhältnisse.
Uberisation of Private Homes? Workplace Location and the Distribution of Workplace Costs Between Employers and Employees – the German Case
Authors: Alewell Dorothea , Reich Ricarda
Published: January 2024

Digitalisation and the COVID-19 pandemic have increased the use of telework. Employees often use private resources for working from home (WFH). However, we know little about how employers and employees divide telework-related workplace costs, whether employees are burdened with workplace costs in a trend of 'Uberisation of private homes', or whether there are legal or economic reasons to have employees bear the workplace cost. We first analyse Germany's legal framework. Second, we estimate the compositions and levels of workplace costs in different scenarios. We then analyse the allocation of workplace costs from the perspectives of the de facto legal situation, risk allocation and preference matching. We show that, for the most common telework types, the assumption of costs is insufficiently regulated. In practice, there is often only an implicit understanding that employees bear the workplace costs – which runs partly against the legal framework. Cost assumption by employees is efficient only in special conditions – if the employee is free to decide on workplace location and thus whether telework is voluntary. We advocate an obligation to conclude an agreement on whether the employer or the employee decides on the workplace location, whether the employer will reimburse (parts of) the workplace costs, and, if so, which parts of the costs will be borne. Such an agreement would make workplace cost negotiation mandatory, reduce uncertainty, and help improve preference matching, thereby increasing the efficiency of spatial workplace organisation.
The Role of Ownership and Gender on Firms' Performance: Evidence from Portugal
Authors: Vieira Elisabete S. , Neves Maria E. , Nogueira João
Published: January 2024

This work aims to examine the relationship between corporate governance (CG) and corporate performance, considering the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. We consider a sample of Portuguese-listed firms for the period between 2010 and 2020 using a panel data methodology. The main results show that higher levels of managerial ownership and gender diversity may drive higher firm performance. However, no evidence was found that a representation of three or more female directors leads to an increase in performance. Moreover, the results suggest that there is a negative relationship between leverage and performance when we consider a market-based performance measure. Finally, the study found evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on corporate performance. This study sheds light on the role of ownership and gender on firms' performance. The results of this research can have some implications for academia and policymakers' decisions.
Managers’ Perceptions of Employee Voice – A Qualitative Analysis
Authors: Stumpf Robin
Published: January 2024

Organisations increasingly depend on their employees’ insights to achieve organisational efficiency by optimising processes and solving problems. If employees share their knowledge, they do what the literature refers to as employee voice. The key prerequisite for organisations to benefit from employee voice is managers’ perceptions of this behaviour. Being the main recipient of voice, managers’ perceptions influence whether proposals are implemented or dismissed and whether employees are motivated to express voice in the future. Despite this important role, managers’ perceptions of voice have received little attention in research so far. Hence, research has called for identifying additional influencing factors. To address this research gap, 22 interviews were conducted with managers from 20 organisations in Germany. The findings demonstrate that managers’ valuations of voice are mainly influenced by the content of voice, the manner of communication, the employee, and the recipient. Regarding the endorsement of voice, especially a proposal’s feasibility and benefits matter to managers. Furthermore, the interviewed managers did not differentiate between promotive and prohibitive voice or between the valuation and endorsement of voice. Finally, managers’ perceptions of voice were either primarily influenced by facts or by the circumstances of the expression of voice. The study contributes to research on managers’ perceptions of voice and employees’ voice tactics.

Authors: McKnight McKenzie A. , Sheber Melissa K. , Liebzeit Daniel J. , Seaman Aaron T. , Husser Erica K. , Buck Harleah G. , Reisinger Heather S. , Lee Sangil
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Older adults often have multiple comorbidities; therefore, they are at high risk for adverse events after discharge. The 4Ms framework—what matters, medications, mentation, mobility—has been used in acute and ambulatory care settings to identify risk factors for adverse events in older adults, although it has not been used in the emergency department (ED).Weaimed to determine whether 1) use of the 4Ms worksheet would help emergency clinicians understand older adult patients’ goals of care and 2) use of the worksheet was feasible in the ED. Methods: We conducted a qualitative, descriptive study among patients aged ≥60 years and emergency clinicians from January–June 2022. Patients were asked to fill out a 4Ms worksheet; following this, semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients and clinicians separately. We analysed data to create codes, which were divided into categories and sub-categories. Results: A total of 20 older patients and 19 emergency clinicians were interviewed. We identified two categories based on our aims: understanding patient goals of care (sub-categories: clinician/ patient concordance; understanding underlying goals of care; underlying goals of care discrepancy) and use of 4Ms Worksheet (sub-categories: worksheet to discussion discrepancy; challenges using worksheet; challenge completing worksheet before discharge). Rates of concordance between patient and clinician on main concern/goal of care and underlying goals of care were 82.4% and 15.4%, respectively. Conclusion: We found that most patients and emergency clinicians agreed on the main goal of care, although clinicians often failed to elicit patients’ underlying goal(s) of care. Additionally, many patients preferred to have the interviewer fill out the worksheet for them. There was often discrepancy between what was written and what was discussed with the interviewer. More research is needed to determine the best way to integrate the 4Ms framework within emergency care.

Executive Compensation, Institutional Ownership, and Financial Performance (A Study on Manufacturing Companies in Indonesia)
Authors: Anwar Ibrahim Zaky , Atmaji Atmaji
Published: January 2024

This research aims to determine and analyze Executive Compensation, Ownership and Financial Performance of Manufacturing Companies in Indonesia. The method used in this research is quantitative. The population of this research is all companies operating in the manufacturing sector registered on the BEI in 2019 - 2022. The sample in this study was selected using a purposive sampling method. The research results show that executive compensation significantly impacts manufacturing company performance through ROA but is less significant about ROE. Nonetheless, well-compensated executives are motivated to increase profits, potentially reducing agency costs. However, factors such as initial solid performance and external events such as COVID-19 may influence the impact of executive compensation on performance. In addition, institutional ownership does not significantly influence company performance because institutional investors tend to prioritize their portfolios and remain passive towards managerial activities, thereby rejecting the hypothesis that supports a significant positive effect of institutional ownership on performance.
RARE CASE OF ASCARIASIS DETECTED BY COLONOSCOPY ON THE BACKGROUND OF ELEVATED LEVELS OF FECAL CALPROTECTIN
Authors: Harizanov Rumen , Kaftandjiev Iskren , Rainova Iskra , Tsvetkova Nina
Published: January 2024

Introduction: The causative agents of ascariasis in humans are two species: Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum. For diagnosis, a fecal sample is most often examined. In some cases, the parasite can be identified when coming out with the intestinal passage, and very rarely up on colonoscopy.
Aim to present a rare case of ascariasis where the diagnosis was made by colonoscopy on the background of elevated levels of fecal calprotectin (f-CP).
Case presentation: A colonoscopy was performed on a 52-year-old female patient due to elevated f-CP. The patient had no complaints. The colonoscopy did not detect pathological changes of the intestinal mucosa, but documented larval stages of Ascaris spp. freely moving in the lumen of the large intestine. The patient was treated with albendazole. Subsequent parasitological examinations of fecal samples were negative.
Discussion: In developed countries, the transmission of Ascaris lumbricoides is greatly reduced. On the background of a very limited transmission of Ascaris lumbricoides, many authors consider that most of the sporadic cases of ascariasis are due to Ascaris suum. In the case described by us, the f-CP levels normalized after the treatment, and for this reason, we cannot categorically reject the relationship between Ascaris infection and elevated f-CP levels.
Conclusion: The presented clinical case is of interest due to the unusual way of diagnosi ascariasis. In the absence of clinical symptoms, and pathological changes of blood and biochemical parameters, except for elevated fecal calprotectin, inflammatory colon disease was suspected and was colonoscopy performed on this occasion.

Published: January 2024

Background: Sarcoidosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect multiple organs. The aetiology of sarcoidosis is not fully understood, but there is increasing evidence that the microbiome may play a role. The blood microbiome is a collection of microorganisms that live in the bloodstream. It is a complex and dynamic community that is influenced by a variety of factors, including the host’s lifestyle and pathology. Recent studies have shown that people with sarcoidosis have alterations in their blood microbiome. These alterations include changes in the diversity, richness, and evenness of the microbial community. The abundance measures by which the blood microbiome diversity may detect instances of dysbiosis related to sarcoidosis aetiology. It should be clearly distinguished from microbiome changes related to unspecific inflammation or sepsis. However, the available evidence suggests that the microbiome may be a promising target for therapeutic interventions.
Aim: The primary goal of this review was to assess and compare the existing metrics of microbiome composition and diversity as established by metagenomic analyses. Additionally, we aim to elucidate the potential causal relationship between these measures, the phenomenon of blood microbiome dysbiosis and the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis.
Conclusion: In the present review, we investigated alpha diversity measures as characteristics of microbiome communities, examining their potential as indicators of dysbiosis, and the probablemechanisms of microbiome participation. A descriptive qualitative comparison was conducted between lung microbiome data of sarcoidosis patients and blood microbiome data of healthy adults. This comparison elucidates common taxa between the two microbiomes and identifies taxa potentially involved in sarcoidosis.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Elevation of intracellular iron concentration triggers ferroptosis. Understanding the regulation and pathophysiological mechanisms of this process in HIV infection may contribute to antiretroviral therapy (cART) monitoring.
Aim: To perform a correlation analysis of the intracellular labile-bound iron pool (LIP) in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in association with CD4+, CD8+ T cells absolute count (AC) and CD4/CD8 index in HIV+ individuals on continuous cART with sustained viral suppression.
Material and methods: Peripheral blood samples (Li heparin, n=34) were collected in the course of the routine immune monitoring of HIV+ individuals at four time points during 24 months. Plasma HIV viral load (VL) was determined with the Abbott Real-Time HIV-1 test (sensitivity 40 copies/ml). AC and percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were determined by direct flow cytometry (Multitest, BD Trucount, FACS Canto II). The intracellular content of LIP in CD4 and CD8 T cells (LIP CD4, LIP CD8) was measured at the beginning of the study, using acetoxymethyl ester and subsequent incubation with a chelator (Deferiprone). LIP was quantified according to the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) (FACSCanto II, Diva 6.1.2).
Results: In the settings of a higher LIP CD4 , high LIP CD8 correlated with increased CD8AC (Rho=0.70, p<0.05) up to 11 (min. 6, max. 15) months after LIP measurement., and decreased CD4/CD8 ratio correlated inversely with LIP CD8 in all consecutive measurements (Rho= -0.71, p<0.01 for all), Importantly, high LIP CD8 correlated with a lower CD4AC (Rho=-0.65, p<0.05) up to five (min.1, max.8) months after LIP measurement.
Conclusion: The increased concentration of intracellular LIP in CD8 cells in HIV+cART individuals could indicate viral activity in the settings of undetectable HIV VL, directly associated with ongoing cell ferroptosis.

The Contracting World of Cutter’s Expansive Classification
Authors: Winke R. Conrad
Published: January 2024

At the centenary of Charles Ammi Cutter’s death, his Expansive Classification (EC) is still the primary scheme used in four libraries, while twenty-three others continue to maintain some portion of their collections in EC. In this study, fifty-seven libraries in the United States, Canada, and England have been identified as past or present EC users. Dates of their adoption and, if applicable, abandonment of the scheme are provided. Of the libraries where EC is a legacy scheme, the reasons for abandonment were sought, as well as determining the type of classification to which the library had moved to and whether EC was still employed for certain materials, or whether reclassification had been completed. Librarians at the four libraries still using EC as their primary scheme were interviewed about how revisions are made to the schedules and the practicality of remaining an EC institution.

El desarrollo del pensamiento lógico- matemático es considerado como uno de los procesos más importantes en el proceso enseñanza- aprendizaje de los estudiantes, debido a que esta construcción cognitiva permite la adquisición de conocimientos óptimos. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo proponer una visión lúdica en general y en lo particular el empleo del juego “dominó” como estrategia didáctica para el desarrollo del pensamiento lógico-matemático en los estudiantes de sexto grado de la Unidad Educativa “República del Ecuador”. Para cumplir con dicho precepto se ha empleado una metodología con enfoque mixto, el tipo de investigación explicativa y un diseño de tipo no experimental. Los métodos empleados en el nivel teórico son el histórico- lógico, el analítico- sintético y el inductivo- deductivo, mientras que en el nivel empírico fueron la entrevista y la encuesta. Los sujetos de estudio se encuentran compuestos por 38 estudiantes del sexto grado de la Unidad Educativa “República del Ecuador” y 2 docentes que imparten la asignatura de Matemáticas. El diagnóstico sobre la enseñanza de matemáticas encontró problemas como la falta de motivación de los estudiantes y la escasa utilización de juegos en las clases. Esto destaca la necesidad de mejorar la enseñanza. Al usar el dominó como estrategia didáctica, los estudiantes mejoraron sus habilidades lógico-matemáticas, se interesaron más en aprender, colaboraron en equipo y se sintieron satisfechos con los resultados. La implementación del dominó como estrategia didáctica ha logrado que los estudiantes desarrollen sus capacidades cognitivas, y desarrollar problemas relacionados a la lógica – matemática.

Nivolumab treatment in a mucosal melanoma patient with pre-existing systemic lupus erythematosus: A case report with literature review
Authors: Popović Aleksandar , Petković Ivan , Rančić Andrija , Dimitrijević Aleksandra , Brzački Vesna , Stankov Stefan , Jović Andrija , Stojanović Sonja
Published: January 2024

Introduction. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) represents a multisystemic disease characterized by antibody production, complement activation, and immune complexes deposition. Certain types of malignancies occur more often, and conversely, some of them occur less often in SLE patients. Mucosal melanoma of the anorectal region represents a rare form of melanoma occurring in 1.5% of all melanoma patients, predominantly female. The introduction of novel agents dramatically changed the outcome in melanoma patients and introduced different adverse events, diverse contraindications, and drug interactions. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have a role in the maintenance of immunologic homeostasis. Patients with underlying autoimmune diseases were often excluded from clinical trials, for fear of possible autoimmune disease exacerbation or high-grade immune-related adverse events. Due to that, data regarding this subgroup of patients is limited, with no clear recommendations. Given the fact that prevalence among the general population is high (5-10%), autoimmune diseases represent common comorbidity in cancer patients. Having that in mind, it is of utmost importance to personalize the approach and individualize the SLE treatment and enable the use of PD-1 antibody in the safest and most useful way while keeping the SLE in control. Case report. Herein we present a 79-year-old with primary mucosal melanoma of the anorectal region, with lung metastasis and preexisting SLE in remission. Hydroxychloroquine was the only treatment for SLE. Nivolumab treatment was initiated in the standard dosing schedule. After the first and second follow-up, no further progression of melanoma was detected, with no SLE exacerbation and immune-related adverse events. Conclusion. PD-1 treatment in a patient with an underlying autoimmune disease represents a viable choice with a necessity for a multidisciplinary approach and close monitoring.

Introduction. Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases. It is an uncontrollable neuronal activity of different parts of the brain leading to convulsion and/or fainting. Although epileptic seizure control and therapeutics have significant advances, 20% -30% of individuals still have uncontrolled seizures. Patients under the medication's control are not free from the drug's side effects and complications. Epileptic patients experience many different challenges. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe and non-invasive brain stimulation method applied in drug-resistant seizures and epilepsies. It transmits positive/negative electrical current toward deep brain parts, modulating their electrical activity. Methods. This is a review article. All relevant articles which were accessible were reviewed. The effectiveness of tDCS in preventing epilepsy in patients undergoing seizures was reviewed in this article. Conclusion. According to the studies, this method can probably be an auxiliary method in preventing and treating seizures. As epileptic seizures were induced and confirmed in some studies after the application of tDCS, the method should be cautiously applied.

Introduction/Aim. Roughly six percent of all malignancies diagnosed in children are malignant bone tumors. They have a dramatic effect on psychological status of children and their families. The aim of the study was to analyze the clinico-pathological features of bone tumors in Iraqi children and to assess response to treatment, outcome, and survival. Patients and methods. Over an eleven-year period, a retrospective study was done for children with bone tumors conducted on patients data that included a battery of pre-treatment investigations including a complete blood count, serum electrolyte, hepatic, and renal profile, bone marrow aspirate and biopsy, fine-needle aspiration, and imaging studies. Results. Data of 41 children with bone tumor were collected. The most common site of involvement was lower limbs, found in 21 (51.2%) cases. At the time of diagnosis, 29 patients presented with localized disease (70.7%), while 12 (29.3%) patients presented with metastasis. From 41 patients included in the study, histopathology of 29 (70.7%) patients was Ewing's sarcoma, whereas 12 (29.3%) patients were diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma. The most common toxic effect of chemotherapy was febrile neutropenia which was recorded in 22 (59.5%) patients, followed by hemorrhagic cystitis in 3 (8.1%) patients; both febrile neutropenia and hemorrhagic cystitis were recorded in 5 (13.5%) patients, convulsion was found in 1 (2.7%) patient, and no complication were reported in 5 (13.5%) patients. Relapse was found in 8 (21.6%) patients. Conclusion. High rate of patients were lost to follow-up. Two-year event-free survival (EFS) was 53%, which is lower than that reported in other studies due to late diagnosis, late referral with the presentation in the locally advanced stage of disease.

Introduction: One of the primary worries of orthodontic patients, aside from the final results, is the total period of treatment. A superior comprehension of orthodontic treatment period just as variable influencing the treatment length is valuable for productive patient guiding and improved clinical performance. The aim of the study was analysis of factors influencing the length of treatment of finished cases treated with fixed orthodontic appliance at the dental teaching hospital in the College of Dentistry/ University of Baghdad. Materials and Methods: Eighty case sheets belonging to 80 finished orthodontic cases (forty finished with a single operator and forty finished with multi-operators) were selected from the archive of the orthodontic department to collect six parameters, namely duration of treatment, number of supervisors, number of visits, type of malocclusion, treatment method, presence or absence of crossbite. Chi-square test was used to test group differences and to study the association between the duration of treatment and the types of malocclusion with the indication for dental extraction in both groups. Results: The results showed highly significant group difference regarding all parameters except the presence or absence of crossbite. On the other hand, no significant association was found between the type of malocclusion and duration of treatment with the indication of extraction in both groups. Conclusions: The number of supervisors with their different opinions in treating and managing orthodontic cases and the type of malocclusion may be the main contributing factor affecting the treatment duration of the finished orthodontic cases.
Testing the reliability of point positioning in the analysis of facial asymmetry in photography: A pilot study

Introduction: In dental clinical practice, devices such as mobile phones and DSLR cameras (Digital Single Lens Reflex) are used to take intraoral and extraoral photographs. The existence of a large number of studies would allow the establishment of standards for the analysis of photographs and their wider use in daily practice in order to establish a rapid diagnosis, predictability of results and the development of teledentology during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the pilot study was to determine the repeatability of point positioning in the analysis of facial symmetry in digital 2D photography. Materials and methods: One face was photographed using two different photography techniques. Points were positioned in one photo and used for each subsequent measurement. Two evaluators positioned 20 points in three time-separated periods. Results: The results suggest a relatively high degree of agreement of the point positioning provided by the two evaluators. Absolute matching of estimates was registered on 22 parameters (ICCs = 1.00), while on another 17 this value was high (ICCs >.96) Conclusion: This study shows that the values of the interclass of correlation coefficients calculated by the method of two-way random effects for each of the six indices are higher than the values of the lower limit of acceptability (ICC> 0.70). It is necessary to do additional research that will include a larger sample and different phone models to establish the diagnosis of facial asymmetry and the development of teledentistry.
Lowering the age of criminal responsibility: The greatest dilemma?
Authors: Ćopić Sanja
Published: January 2024

Two mass murders that took place at the beginning of May 2023 disturbed and shocked the public in Serbia. The mass murder that took place in the Elementary School "Vladislav Ribnikar" in Belgrade, in which the perpetrator was a boy who was under the age of criminal responsibility at the time of the act, once again brought up the issue of lowering the age of criminal responsibility and tightening the penal policy to the fore. Such demands are in line with the contemporary penal populism and the concept of moral panic, especially with regard to juvenile delinquency. However, the question of the justification of strengthening the repression arises, especially the potential expansion of the circle of persons who can be covered by the criminal law reaction as a result of potential lowering of the age limit of criminal responsibility. Taking that as a starting point, the paper analyzes several key reasons against lowering the age limit of criminal responsibility in Serbia, including: the issue of psycho-physical and social (im)maturity of minors, the requirements of international documents that set the standards of behavior in the best interest of the child, and some comparative solutions, trends and structure of juvenile crime in Serbia, and the purpose of criminal law response to juvenile crime. The analysis of the stated reasons indicates that there is no evidence in favor of lowering the limit of criminal responsibility, but that moral panics related to juvenile delinquency should trigger society and the state to develop prevention programs, especially those based on the principles of restorative justice.
'New tricks to old dogs' the use of infographic for teaching grammar to EFL learners: A case study
Authors: Cetin Koroglu , Kimsesiz Fatma
Published: January 2024

Technology is an indispensable part of our daily lives nowadays and it has a huge impact on educational fields. The case is valid for English language education in which language teachers teach digital natives with a variety of developing technological tools, software, and aids. Visual aids are also transforming with the developing technology and infographics are one of the technological tools which have been developed by them in recent years. Grammar teaching with traditional teaching materials does not appeal to language learners anymore and it requires innovation as well. For this purpose, current research aims to investigate infographics' effectiveness and utilization to teach grammar topics. The research was designed as experimental research. Pre-test, treatment, and post-test were administered to the experimental group while the control group traditionally received instruction. At the end of the post-test administration, an interview with five open-ended questions was administered to collect qualitative data. Results of the study show that infographics are effective technological tools to develop language learners' grammatical knowledge. Moreover. Students have positive perceptions of using these technological visual aids to teach grammar topics.
The relations between family contextual factors and academic achievement: Second-order meta-analysis
Authors: Selvitopu Abdullah , Kaya Metin
Published: January 2024

The present study is an attempt to give a holistic and bigger picture of the relations between family contextual factors and academic achievement by employing second-order meta-analysis to synthesize results from first-order meta-analyses. Thirteen first-order meta-analyses included in this study represent more than one thousand culturally diverse studies and cover 70 years of scholarship from 1950 to 2020. The findings revealed that the strength of the relationship between family contextual factors and achievement was at a medium level. The moderator analyses showed that family SES represented a stronger relationship with student achievement than parental behaviors such as parental involvement or expectations. We found no significant differences among other moderators, such as the academic subject domain, culture, quality assessment, report types, and year range.
