The Effect of a Simple Reward Model on the Academic Achievement of Syrian Dental Students
Authors: Dannan Aous
Published: June 2020

Reward systems in teaching are important keys which aim at enhancing students’ academic
achievements. Studying the effects of rewards, as extrinsic motivators, on college students is
somehow underestimated in the literature. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect
of a simple tangible reward on the academic achievement of Syrian dental students. A total of 139
dental students, assigned to four classes, were enrolled in the study. After completion of a first exam,
all students who got full marks (i.e. 20 marks) were awarded a “Certificate of Achievement”. Four
weeks later, a second exam related to the same course took place, and the same process of
certification for students with full marks was performed. Records of students’ marks of both first and
second exams were collected and statistically analyzed. The results showed no statistically
significant differences between groups (i.e. classes) neither for first exam nor for second exam marks.
The mean of marks for the first and second exams were (10.62±4.88) and (14.63±4.07) respectively.
The difference of means’ records for all students between first and second exams was statistically
significant. It was concluded that a tangible reward in the form of “certificate” had a positive effect
on the dental students’ academic achievements. Enhancement of students’ motivation through
reward systems should come under focus in higher educational institutions.
Legitimising a Feminist Agenda: The #metoo petitions in Sweden 2017–2018
Authors: Hansson Karin , Sveningsson Malin , Ganetz Hillevi , Sandgren Maria
Published: June 2020

During 2017 and 2018, the #metoo hashtag united a global movement against sexual abuse and harassment. In Sweden, a large portion of the attention was given to the voices of working women, who organised and wrote petitions that were published in news media. Previous research has found that media reports of sexual abuse often focus on singular stories, rather than describing the underlying structural problems, and that the problem is often framed as an individual rather than structural problem. This article accounts for a qualitative content analysis of the first 28 published #metoo petitions in Sweden, with the goal of understanding how these framed the issue. In contrast to previous research, this study shows how the petitions established a coherent feminist explanatory framework that placed the problems on a structural level by focusing on work environments and framing demands in terms of general and perfectly reasonable human rights.
Cost-Savings and Patient Experience with a Pharmacy-Led Medicare Part D Consultation Service
Authors: Murry Logan , Gerleman Brandon , Deng Huiwen , Urmie Julie
Published: June 2020

Background: There are many Medicare Part D plans, making it difficult for patients to choose the optimal plan. The decision to remain on current Medicare plans is reinforced by patient inertia and uncertainty associated with plan-switching decisions. By helping patients identify more cost-effective plans, pharmacists and pharmacy personnel have the ability to inform plan-switching decisions resulting in lower out-of-pocket (OOP) costs.

Objectives: This study evaluates 1) patient experience with a pharmacy Medicare Part D consultation service and 2) potential out-of-pocket savings based on a patient’s best plan for 2019 compared to continuation of a patient’s 2018 Medicare Part D plan. 

Methods: This study was a retrospective descriptive analysis and took place at a single, independently owned community pharmacy. Patients received free individual consultations with a pharmacist that included a medication review and information on all available Part D plans. Patients were selected to receive the service using pharmacy software to identify potential inefficiencies in current Part D plans. Data on satisfaction and perceived pharmacist role in providing Medicare Part D information were collected via an in-person survey administered at the pharmacy. Potential out-of-pocket cost savings were determined using cost information provided for patient specific medication regimens entered into Medicare.gov, the online platform for Medicare Part D plan information.

Results: Of the 318 patients identified, 79 used the consultation service. Out of 79 patients who used the service in fall of 2017, 44 completed the survey for a response rate of 56%.

Patients generally reported good experiences with the service. Open-ended responses revealed patients utilize a variety of helpers for plan information and decisions. A subset of 14 patients were identified as having clear plan-switching decisions and were included in the cost-savings analysis.

Conclusions: Patients using a free Medicare Part D plan consultation were satisfied with the service, suggesting that helpers were an important resource n their plan-selection process. Using the pharmacist-led Part D consultation may result in decreases in out-of-pocket cost savings due to identification of optimal Medicare Part D plans.

Phenotypic classification of asthma based on a new Type 2–high and Type 2–low endotypic classification: It all began with Rackemann
Authors: Bellanti Joseph A
Published: June 2020

Background: Asthma is now recognized as a heterogeneous collection of disease entities associated with different clinical phenotypic presentations and diverse endotypic mechanisms. Recently, a new system of nomenclature of asthma has evolved by using a type 2 (T2) high and T2-low endotypic classification that has proven useful for diagnosis and for choosing the right biologic for patients with asthma.Aim: The purpose of this report was to provide an overview of molecular endotypes, asthma phenotypes, and existing biomarkers,with a focus on the new classification system of T2 and non-T2 pathways in the historical context of the contributionsof Francis M. Rackemann, M.D., that set the stage both for our current understanding of the spectrum of disease entities of asthma and for the basis for the use of emerging biologics for the treatment of these disorders.Methods: This article was based on literature review of PubMed and the author’s own research and clinical experiences.Results: Currently, the therapy for asthma is being directed to a treatment strategy based on patient-specific phenotypic characteristics and underlying endotypic mechanisms of tissue injury that focus on a T2-high and T2-low airway inflammation classification. Based on this classification, the clinician is provided with a useful treatment stratagem for choosing the right biologic for personalized care of patients with asthma. Although not perfect in its total applicability, it affords a guide in helping to choose among the currently available biologics, the most appropriate one, as well as those that inevitably will become available.Conclusion: The phenotypic classification of asthma described in this report began with the clinical observations that weremade by of an astute clinician long before the supernova emergence of information related to T2-high and T2-low immunefunction. Rackemann’s legacy to clinical allergy practice once again illustrates that science and technology can best progressthrough the energizing force of clinical observation.

Published: June 2020

The key purpose of this study was to investigate the depression in students with congenital and adventitious vision loss. The purposive sampling technique was used to select sample. A sample of 81 students with visual impairment (51 with congenital and 30 with adventitious) was selected from different educational institutions of Punjab, Pakistan. An Instrument was developed and validated through expert opinion and piloting on 30 students. The value of Cronbach Alpha was found .88. Data was analyzed by using independent t test and ANOVA on SPSS. Independent sample t-test was used to see the significant difference in depression of students with congenital and adventitious vision loss. Results of t-test showed high significant difference (t= -2.285*) of depression between students with congenital and adventitious vision loss. Adventitiously Visually Impaired students (mean, 65.70) were more depressive than congenitally visually impaired (mean, 58.37). Results also showed no significant difference (-.856) between male and female students with vision loss. But females had high mean of depression (63.31) than males (60.25), it showed females were more depressive than males. To know about the difference of depression among age groups, ANOVA was applied. It showed there is no significant difference (F, .113) of depression among three age groups. As result revealed adventitiously visually impaired are more depressive because of their late onset so they should be needed psychological counseling to cope their depression.
Sense of Civic Responsibility Among University Students
Authors: Subramaniam Tilagavati
Published: June 2020

The purpose of this study is to examine the level of sense of civic responsibility among the university students and to identify specific factors that contribute to a sense of civic responsibility. A total of 1213 final year undergraduates’ students were recruited from five public universities. Since Malaysian public universities are heterogeneous in terms of student racial composition, stratified sampling was used to ensure the representativeness of the sample. A cross – sectional survey using a self- administered questionnaire was employed. Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0 was used in order to analyse the quantitative data obtained in this study. The demographic details and the level of sense of civic responsibility were analysed using descriptive statistics in order to obtain both the frequency and percentage for the data. Meanwhile, multiple regressions were used to determine the most influential factor that predicts a sense of civic responsibility among the final year undergraduate students. The results showed that respondents across the five institutions demonstrated a high level of sense of civic responsibility. Campus climate perception is the main contributor that caused the respondents to have a sense of civic responsibility. With regard to this, an institution of higher education can develop more effective strategies by stressing this factor. Student’s campus experiences have the potential to help students acquire the necessary knowledge, skill, values and motivation to take action in their communities as a thoughtful, engaged and socially responsible citizen.

Authors: Ariyani Emma Dwi , Hadiani Dini
Published: June 2020

Objective: Interpersonal communication is an essential element of communication that creates meaningful social relationships in the academic environment. Students who have good interpersonal communication skills will be capable of interacting with others. However, it was reported that some students still have a low capacity for interpersonal communication caused by various factors, and one of them is gender. This research attempts to investigate the students’ interpersonal communication concerning gender and to find out whether there is a difference between male and female students in terms of interpersonal communication.

Methodology: This study was conducted through a descriptive method. The subject of this study includes 88 students consisting of 66 male and 22 female students at one state polytechnic in Bandung, Indonesia. The data were collected in terms of interpersonal communication and gender.

Results: The results show that male students had a slightly higher score of interpersonal communication than females. Regarding the significant elements of effective interpersonal communication, it was found that there are differences in the dominant component of interpersonal communication between male and female students. Female students dominated the area of equality, indicating that they have a more dominant ability to position themselves as equivalent to their communication partners to create comfortable communication. Male students dominated the area of openness, empathy, supportiveness, and a positive attitude showing that they have a more dominant ability to show a willingness to communicate honestly and full of understanding, so they were able to give support and positive thought.

Implication: The study recommends the use of appropriate communication activities that can encourage the students to be open, to be supportive, and to be positive. This condition will enable teachers to choose and apply the appropriate methods in the teaching and learning process to support the development of students’ interpersonal communication.

El presente artículo es parte de una secuencia de diversas investigaciones sustentadas en una LGAC dentro del programa de Doctorado de MASC, que tiene como objetivo central crear una cultura para el uso de los MSC. Representa la parte teórica del proyecto de investigación PAICYT 2019 denominado “Mediación camino al bienestar”, dirigido a identificar el marco teórico del bienestar y de los MSC, por lo que se realizó una exegesis de la literatura vinculada al tema desde la perspectiva comparada, permitiéndonos llegar a conclusiones teóricas asertivas, por lo que la revisión efectuada en esta primera etapa cumplió su cometido, arribando a las siguientes conclusiones: La mediación es un catalizador de bienestar y de felicidad, genera estabilidad social. La mediación es hoy en día una vía para la paz. La mediación y los MSC se transforman y gestionan conflictos desde la óptica de los intereses y del bienestar subjetivo percibido sustentados ambos en la autonomía y el libre albedrio. Se propone invertir la generación de bienestar en razón de la lógica del bienestar subjetivo percibido, otorgándole un papel protagónico a las personas, pasando de ser un actor pasivo a un actor activo y de cómo desde su felicidad resuelven sus conflictos.

FEMALE VOICES IN NEPALI NOVELS
Authors: Thapa Ashok , Rajbhandari Sushil
Published: June 2020

The female characters created by BP Koirala and Pradip Nepal in Narendra Dai and Swapnil Shahar respectively have been compared and contrasted in this paper. Although Koirala and Nepal represent two poles of the Nepalese political spectrum, with Koirala pursuing democratic socialism doctrine and Nepal following communist ideology, the characters they create in their novels do not completely reflect the political schooling of their creators. The female characters in both the novels share some common traits of characters which most of the women in the Nepalese society, even today, exude, such as compassion, sacrifice, and docility. However, these female characters also display enough courage to rebel against the prevalent patriarchal dominance. The plot of Nepal’s novel is considerably politically colored, and thus the female characters in his novel discuss progressive ideas and even act accordingly. Koirala’s novel on the other hand deals more with socio-psychological issues and these conditions the dispositions of his characters. Nevertheless, his female characters too display rebellious traits and speak back to the patriarchal hegemony both through words and actions. As compared to Nepal, however, Koirala seems to have better succeeded in creating well-rounded female characters that not only abide by the then societal norms and values but also display mutiny against unjust treatment.

Pedagogy: A Teacher’s Practice
Authors: Foran Andrew , Robinson Dan , Eilifsen Margareth , Munro Elizabeth , Thurber Tess
Published: June 2020

Neoliberal assaults upon public education have been grounded upon the supposition that schools are failing to prepare students to respond to local and global economic needs and realities. The result has left the relational between pupils and teachers as a taken-for-granted practice. Lived experiences often can show and capture the unexpressed in taken for granted moments. This discussion presents teaching as relational moments, shared between beginning teachers and pupils. We employ a phenomenological sensitivity as we unravel the anecdotal evidence to bring into language a “lived through” dimension of human relations. As teacher educators, we ask: what is experienced when relationality is the focus for beginning teachers? The importance of this question is due to the prevalence of neoliberal forces that now guide, and to large extent, control what it means to teach in schools across Canada. In an effort to understand this emerging view of teaching, we explore what four preservice teachers from Nova Scotia experienced in becoming teachers, as they completed their final Field Experience in Bergen, Norway. We share these anecdotal representations to help teachers see how the relational informs identity in becoming a teacher and allows teacher educators to deconstruct the “taken-for-granted-ness” of teaching stuck in the rational-technical model.
Pedagogic Being in a Neoliberal School Market: Developing Pedagogical Tact Through Lived Experience
Authors: Rinne Ilona
Published: June 2020

Exploring teaching as an upper secondary school teacher through lived experience offers pedagogical insights that have been challenged over a period of 25 years, when neoliberal educational policies gradually transformed the conditions for teaching in Swedish schools. The article is grounded in the assumption that the teaching profession is complex and there are multiple tacit dimensions inherent in being and becoming a teacher. Several of these dimensions are captured by the notion of pedagogical tact and have to be learned through practice. However, over the past few decades, the implementation of neoliberal policies in the Swedish education sector have changed the conditions for teaching, and created an area of tension between the teacher’s pedagogical alignment and the educational practices influenced by neoliberal values. The aim of the study is to describe how the author experienced these tensions, and what they meant for her becoming and being a teacher in three different pedagogical sites: a higher education preparatory program, a vocational preparatory program, and in adult education. The description is grounded in the lifeworld phenomenological approach and carried out through personal narrative.

Sintesis ester sinamat dengan mereaksikan asam sinamat dan senyawa-senyawa alkohol telah dilakukan.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kinerja katalis heterogen, nafion, sebagai katalis asam pada sintesis ester-ester sinamat dibandingkan dengan katalis homogen yang lazim digunakan yakni H2SO4 dan p-TsOH. Metode yang digunakan adalah reaksi esterifikasi Fischer yang berlangsung pada suhu 100 oC selama 18 sampai dengan 48 jam. Progres reaksi diikuti menggunakan TLC dan hasil-hasil reaksi dianalisis dengan 1H NMR.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaaan sikloheksanol sebagai pereaksi memberikan hasil yang sangat signifikan ketika menggunakan katalis homogen, baik itu H2SO4 maupun p-TsOH dimana lebih dari 85% produk diperoleh. Dengan menggunakan Nafion, sebagai katalis hanyaÃÂ  31% produk berhasil diperoleh apabila menggunakan kondisi yang sama dengan yang diterapkan saat menggunakan katalis homogen. Pada saat reaksi berlangsung lebih lama yaitu 48 jam hasil reaksi meningkat menjadi 78%. Hal yang menarik adalah ketika fenetil ester digunakan sebagai pereaksi menggantikan sikloheksanol, maka hasil yang diperoleh dari ketiga jenis katalis di atas 90%.Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Nafion adalah katalis heterogen yang cukup menjanjikan untuk digunakan pada reaksi esterifikasi asam sinamat dan turunannya.

Emotional labor assessments and episodic recall bias in public engagement
Authors: Resh William G. , Wilkes Cynthia , Mooradian Carmen
Published: June 2020

In a survey of local officials in Los Angeles County we test individual-level job-related assessments as a function of a public employee’s induced recall of discrete citizen engagement and one’s intrinsic prosocial motivation through a randomized survey experiment. We explore whether tangible retentions of public service influence the relationship between self-concepts—such as reported prosociality—and job-related assessments. We find that the relationship between self-reports of prosociality and pay satisfaction are contingent upon those concepts being decontextualized, whereas discrete recall bias appears not to affect emotional burnout. In other words, subjects seem to accept the emotional labor of engagement as part of their jobs. However, contextualizing engagement may make them more cognizant of its unremunerated dimensions; and, positive reinforcement of engagement provides encouragement to further engagement. Our findings make the case that emotional labor involves a skill set that employees implicitly recognize merits remuneration and that reinforcing positive engagement outcomes inspires employee motivation.

AbstractThe performance of suppliers both directly and indirectly determines several critical points for the company such as: product prices, product availability in the market, and product quality. It is very important for companies to monitor and improve the quality of raw materials obtained from suppliers, because this will determine the performance of the company, especially on the quality of products produced. The quality monitoring system implemented in the company must be responsive and consider every critical aspect of the non-conformity that occurs, not only using the Supplier Correction Action Request (SCAR) form or the Vendor Corrective Action Request (VCAR) form or the Supplier Corrective and Preventive Action Request (SCPAR) form for all types of non-conformity found. In this study, samples were taken at 3 different companies in order to obtain valid data to analyze and evaluate the existing quality monitoring system to get a new quality monitoring system that more responsive to avoid repeated findings occur. The research method was conducted by classifying non conformity types based on the level of criticism using the Total Quality Management (TQM) approach, fishbone diagrams, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) so that the quality monitoring system produced is more accurate, effective and efficient in handling raw material non-conformities that occur. AbstrakKinerja pemasok baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung ikut menentukan beberapa point kritikal bagi perusahaan seperti: harga produk, ketersediaan produk di pasar, dan kualitas produk. Sangat penting bagi perusahaan untuk memonitor dan meningkatkan kualitas bahan baku yang diperoleh dari pemasok, karena hal ini akan menentukan performa bagi perusahaan terutama terhadap kualitas produk yang dihasilkan. Sistem monitoring kualitas yang diterapkan di perusahaan harus responsif dan mempertimbangkan setiap aspek kritikal ketidaksesuaian yang terjadi, tidak bisa hanya menggunakan Supplier Correction Action Request (SCAR) form atau Vendor Corrective Action Request (VCAR) form atau Supplier Corrective and Preventive Action Request (SCPAR) form untuk semua tipe non conformity atau ketidaksesuaian yang ditemukan. Dalam penelitian ini, dilakukan pengambilan sampel  di 3 perusahaan yang berbeda dengan tujuan agar didapatkan data valid guna menganalisis mengenai sistem monitoring kualitas yang telah ada saat ini dan mengevaluasi untuk mendapatkan sistem monitoring kualitas baru yang lebih responsif sehingga tidak terjadi lagi temuan berulang. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan mengklasifikasikan tipe non conformity berdasarkan tingkat kritikalnya menggunakan pendekatan Total Quality Management (TQM), penggunaan fishbone diagram, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), dan Quality Function Deployment (QFD) sehingga sistem monitoring kualitas yang dihasilkan lebih akurat, efektif dan efisien dalam penanganan ketidaksesuaian bahan baku yang terjadi.

Published: June 2020

Employee performance is a reflection of employee work that determines the achievement of company goals. Performance optimization can be achieved through increasing motivation, competence, and work environment. This research is aimed at analyzing performance that is determined by motivation, competence, and work environment, both simultaneously and partially. The research design applies descriptive and verification approaches. Used multiple linear regression analysis, multiple correlation analysis, coefficient of determination analysis which is then tested by hypothesis. The results showed that motivation, competence, and work environment had a positive and real effect on employee performance. In contrast, partially motivation and competence had a positive and tangible impact on employee performance, except the work environment had no influence. It is recommended to appreciate the performance, communication skills, and work cycle activities that are oriented towards improving discipline.
Linguistic Re-Formation in Florida Heartland Schools: School Erasures of Indigenous Latino Languages
Authors: Campbell-Montalvo Rebecca
Published: June 2020

By law, language information of students in U.S. schools must be identified during enrollment. This information affects language screening, federal reporting, provision of services, and so on. In the Florida Heartland, analyses of observations, records, a language inventory (survey), and interviews show that some students and parents’ languages identified during registration are not recorded accurately. Raciolinguistic enregisterment played a role in registrars recording languages as others and in their differential questioning practices; employee training, policy, and the records system design also affected this linguistic re-formation. In the end, Indigenous Mexican languages were under measured by a factor of 19—for every 19 students whose parent spoke an Indigenous language, only one was recorded. Suggestions for improvement are provided.

Published: June 2020

This cluster randomized controlled trial investigated the impact of project-based learning with professional development supports on social studies and literacy achievement and motivation of second-grade students from low–socioeconomic status school districts. At random in within-school pairs, 48 teachers were assigned to the experimental or comparison group. Experimental group teachers were asked to teach four project-based learning units designed to address nearly all social studies and some literacy standards. Comparison group teachers were asked to teach social studies as they normally would except to teach a target number of lessons. The experimental group showed higher growth in social studies and informational reading but not writing or motivation. Greater consistency with project-based learning session plans was associated with higher growth in writing, motivation, and reading.
Does Class Size Matter in the University Setting?
Authors: Ake-Little Ethan , von der Embse Nathaniel , Dawson Dana
Published: June 2020

University class size is a frequently debated topic among stakeholders given its relation to student achievement, teaching and learning, program evaluation, and education economics. However, the extant literature in both K–12 and higher education contexts regarding class size is equivocal, with some citing evidence of an adverse effect on student achievement for larger class sizes and others suggesting minimal effect. This study aims to explore the relationship between class size and student achievement, as measured by course grades, in the core undergraduate program at Temple University, a large, state-related university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A cross-classified multilevel model was employed consisting of 14 variables—6 student level and 8 class-level—and drawing from a robust sample size of 172,516 grades awarded to 32,766 students in 8,049 classes offered across 14 terms. Results suggest that, after controlling for instructor experience, the effect of class size is not uniform and is, in fact, quite variable when accounting for student race, gender, and academic discipline within the same model. We discuss the possible reasons for these variable results with implications for program policy and classroom practice. Finally, we discuss the limitations of the present study and how future research might resolve those limitations.

Effects of combination of retarders on calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement systems
Authors: Acarturk Cansu , Burris Lisa
Published: June 2020

One method of increasing the sustainability of concrete construction through reductions in emissions and energy requirements is through the use of alternative binders. Calcium Sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement has been developed as a low energy cement, as it has up to 40% less embodied carbon dioxide emissions due to its lower calcium content and reduced clinkering temperature relative to Portland cement. However, despite the advantages of CSA cement, its rapid setting time limits the use of this material to applications when short working time is required. To facilitate better control of the timing of CSA hardening and strength gain, several approaches to retarder usage and dosing have been studied. In this paper, use of chemical retardants, including citric acid, tartaric acid, and borax with CSA cement used alone and in combination with each other, and their effects on phase development and hardened binder properties were evaluated and discussed in relation to their retardation mechanisms. Because of differing working mechanisms of the retarders, combinations of citric acid and borax showed relationships that averaged the properties of each retarder, while combinations of citric acid and tartaric acid showed relationships that added the effects of the two retarders together. Setting time of CSA cement was delayed successfully, using retarders both alone and in combination, however combination mixes generally decreased compressive strength compared to the strengths of equivalent total singular retarder dosage. Relationships between heat release and setting time were developed and may prove useful for prediction of largescale application field performance.
