Putting the Individual into Reliability: Bayesian Testing of Homogeneous Within-Person Variance in Hierarchical Models
Authors: Williams Donald Ray , Martin Stephen Ross , Rast Philippe
Published: July 2019

Measurement reliability is a fundamental concept in psychology. It is traditionally considered a stable property of a questionnaire, measurement device, or experimental task. Although intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) are often used to assess reliability in repeated measure designs, their descriptive nature depends upon the assumption of a commonwithin-person variance.This work focuses on the presumption that each individual is adequately described by the average within-person variance in hierarchical models. And thus whether reliability generalizes to the individual level, which leads directly into the notion of individually varying ICCs. In particular, we introduce a novel approach, using the Bayes factor, wherein a researcher can directly test for homogeneous within-person variance in hierarchical models. Additionally, we introduce a membership model that allows for classifying which (and how many) individuals belong to the common variance model. The utility of our methodology is demonstrated on cognitive inhibition tasks. We find that heterogeneous within-person variance is a defining feature of these tasks, and in one case, the ratio between the largest to smallest within-person variance exceeded 20. This translates into a 10 fold difference in person-specific reliability! We also find that few individuals belong to the common variance model, and thus traditional reliability indices are potentially masking important individual variation. We discuss the implications of our findings and possible future directions. The methods are implemented in the R package vICC.
How strongly do moral character inferences predict forecasts of the future? Testing the moderating roles of transgressor age, implicit personality theories, and belief in karma
Authors: White Cindel , Schaller Mark , Norenzayan Ara
Published: July 2019

Three studies (total N = 1486) investigated how inferences about a person’s current moral character guide forecasts about that person’s future moral character and future misfortunes, and tested several plausible moderating variables. Inferences about current moral character related (very strongly) to forecasts about future moral character and also (less strongly) to forecasts about future misfortunes. These relationships were moderated by two variables: Relations between inferences and forecasts were somewhat weaker when perceivers made judgments about children, compared to judgments about adults, and relations between character inferences and forecasts about misfortunes were somewhat stronger among perceivers who more strongly believed in karma. In contrast, results provided no evidence of any moderating effects due to perceivers’ beliefs about the stability of moral dispositions (i.e., implicit personality theories). These results show how dispositional inferences, moral judgments, and beliefs about karmic justice interact to shape forecasts about the future.
Enhancing Students’ Effectiveness through Motivational Strategies
Authors: BOURAS Haron
Published: July 2019

The present qualitative study aims to explore teachers’ and students’ perceptions of some teaching motivational strategies impact on university students’ effectiveness based on Dörnyei & Csizér (1998) landmark study. The research has involved individual in-depth semi-structured interviews with six English Foreign Language (EFL) teachers and six students to further explore key issues from their viewpoints. The main findings have unveiled that both teachers and students recognise the motivating potential of all the examined scales. Many similarities and some dissimilarities related to specific motivational themes have emerged. In terms of dissimilarity, students accorded importance to group work scale, however teachers minimised its role by justifying that it needed certain conditions. Another area of mismatch can be noticed in the way students and teachers regarded tasks in motivating students. Teachers stressed on providing clear instruction and explanation while students pointed to the content of tasks. Furthermore, another instance of difference in participants’ views towards the same scale in terms of the motivational strategies to be used was in teacher behaviour scale. Both participants agreed to place value on it, but students appeared to emphasise on the social aspects as feeling relaxed and enjoying the class in order to participate fully, while teachers stressed on academic achievement.
Teaching to Test or Communicate
Authors: Ghafri Mohammad Al , Audeh Younes , Al-Gadallah Muhieddin
Published: July 2019

This study addresses the controversial question of which is more effective; teaching to the test, or teaching to communicate. It also highlights the viewpoints of some scholars about tests in different regions of the world; the Middle East and the West. The content of the research embedded in this article shows that there are a number of teachers who still believe in teaching to test following the traditional method, while some others think tests -especially in the elementary phase- cause anxiety, chaos and disappointment, and should be ruled out as a means of assessing students. In the Arab World, tests are still considered the main criterion by which students prove eligible to move to upper classes and get admitted to university programs. To provide the readers with a more concrete grasp of the discussed viewpoints, a questionnaire has been distributed among sixty-five male and female students taking English courses in the Foundation Program at Ibri College of Applied Sciences- the Sultanate of Oman. The results, implications, and applications will be discussed throughout this article while tackling the two major controversial issues: teaching to test or communicate.
Approaches to Crafting English as a Second Language on Social Media: An Ethnographic Case Study from Saudi Arabia
Authors: Bin Dahmash Nada
Published: July 2019

Saudi female undergraduates perform various activities in English, their second language (L2), on social media. They engage in different types of writing and reading on social media in everyday life. But little is known about the material resources and concrete activities they drew on as they read and write in English on their preferred social media. This ethnographic case study aims to examine the material resources and concrete activities of a group of Saudi female undergraduates majoring in English Translation in a university in Saudi Arabia as they use English on social media. This study particularly aims to answer this research question: What material resources and concrete activities do Saudi female undergraduates employ as they read and write in English on social media? A total of eleven female Saudi undergraduates took part in this research. Online observation, focus group interviewing, semi-structured interviews, informal conversations and online logbook of English usage were employed over a three-months period to collect data. This study draws on Literacy Studies (LS), that understand literacies as social practices involving more than technical skills. Analysing the data thematically revealed that these undergraduates drew on three main approaches: English-spelling checking approaches, English grammar-checking approaches and English-meaning checking approaches. The study recommends that language learners are encouraged to use Google app, Google Translate app, Dictionary apps and the COCA website to correct, craft and improve their English. They are also encouraged to utilise the built-in smartphone technologies that supports English spelling.
Literary Pragmatics
Authors: Al-Hindawi Fareed Hameed , Saffah Mariam D.
Published: July 2019

The present study aims at presenting a thorough account of the field termed literary pragmatics which emerges in a consequence of applying the different pragmatic approaches to the study and analysis of literary genera. Additionally, it also attempts to explore and shed some light on the relationship between the two domains: pragmatics and literature in order to reveal their commonalities. There exists a strong assumption that these have something in common as they both have to do with language users and how meaning is conveyed. Despite the fact the various pragmatic approaches including speech act theory, conversational implicature, politeness theory and relevance theory are developed mainly in relation to spoken interactions, the study has revealed that they offer invaluable insights to the study of literary texts. Moreover, the process of analyzing literary texts has led to the development and the explanation of the pragmatic approaches themselves.
The Significance of Theoretical Foundations in Enhancing Teaching Practices: Teachers’ Perceptions and Use of Learner-centered Approach in EFL Classrooms
Authors: BOUDJELAL Mustapha
Published: July 2019

Undeniably, the realm of teaching English as a foreign language still embraces active research that continuously looks for approaches and methods which may contribute to a more efficient instruction of the target language. These theoretical foundations enable the instructor to appropriately implement the outlined approach along its salient features to achieve the desired outcomes. Despite this tight rapport, teachers of English at the University of Mostaganem tend to rely on their common-sense teaching practices that are mainly informed by their experience of teaching EFL. The gap between the two extremes theory and practice, the premise of this paper, may be widened as teachers do not develop accurate and scientific understandings of certain pedagogical concepts, in this case, learner-centeredness as agreed on by professional academics, let alone to apply it along its proper standards. The pedagogical sequel of such misunderstanding mainly relate to random references to both teacher and learner-centered approaches in classroom teaching practices. The study via a detailed teachers’ questionnaire revealed that teachers of English, in addition to the cursory understandings they develop in relation to the very meaning of a learner-centered approach, tend to eschew developing learners’ metacognitive skills in their teaching practices. Most importantly, they are likely to rely on traditional ways of assessment instead of authentic frameworks, a cardinal feature within the current paradigm.
Acknowledgement Structure in Persian and English Theses and Dissertations: A Contrastive Genre Analysis
Authors: Zare-ee Abbas , Hejazi S. Yahya
Published: July 2019

Acknowledgement appears at the forefront of the high-stakes academic genre of thesis/dissertation writing. Previous research shows the generic structure of acknowledgements written by native Persian postgraduate students contains a ‘thanking-God move’, absent in native English speakers’ acknowledgements. In an approximate replication of Hyland’s (2004) study of the generic structure of acknowledgments, we aimed to verify the occurrence, frequency, and variation of moves and steps in three small corpora of acknowledgments from six disciplines (applied linguistics, business management, computer science, electrical engineering, microbial biotechnology, & biochemistry). Each corpus contained 200 sample acknowledgements written in Persian or English. The authors were native Persian speakers and native English speakers. Fifty acknowledgements (100-400 words) were randomly selected from each corpus and analyzed using Hyland’s model. Two coders carefully, content-analyzed, and coded the acknowledgments. Then the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results confirmed findings of previous research indicating that acknowledgements written by native Persian speakers (in Persian & in English) contain all the moves and steps defined by Hyland plus a new step called ‘thanking-God’ step. The use of this step was significantly different across Persian and English (84% in English & 100% in Persian; X2= 1.63, p≤ 0.05) and across writers (84% Persian & 34% English; X2= 28.17, p≤.05). ‘Accepting responsibility’ and ‘dedicating the thesis’ were used least frequently by all writers, while ‘thanking move’ and ‘reflecting move’ were used most frequently. Pedagogical and conceptual implications are discussed.

Authors: Mohammad Rashid Mahmood , Alshahrani Ali Ayed
Published: July 2019

Saudi Vision 2030 is a plan to steer the country towards prosperity through diversified economy, better government services and conducive environment for all to thrive. The study of wordlists, keyword lists, collocation analyses, identification of core issues on the basis of lexical fields and their reflection in 2018 English newspapers in Saudi Arabia qualifies the corpus-assisted present study for Critical Discourse Analysis. The corpora of 4.3 million words and 2.0 million words from the English Newspapers in Saudi Arabia published in 2013 and 2018 respectively have been compiled for the study. Saudi Vision 2030 has been treated as a specialized corpus to get frequency lists and collocations. The analyses identified the extraordinary use of second person plural pronoun ‘we’ ‘our’, modal auxiliary ‘will’ etc.; such explorations paved the way for entry into more qualitative investigations. On the basis keyword lists, key issues have been identified in all three corpora. Some key issues including the largest lexical field in newspaper corpora viz. ‘Security’ has been found missing in the said vision. The present study aims to bring forth a fresh insight into Saudi Vision 2030 and to advocate the corpus-assisted methodology for critical discourse analysis.

Effect of Water Stress in Soil Nitrogen Dynamics under Intercropping System with Maize and Sorghum
Authors: Sharif Asim , Thapa Utsab
Published: July 2019

Global warming, one of the most persistent threats to nature, is expected to result in severe droughts in many parts of the world. Droughts are supposed to effect individual plants and/or plant communities by changing their a/ biotic interactions. The objective of this study was to elucidate drought effects on soil nitrogen allocation in different aggregate sizes. This was done by growing Zea mays and Sorghum bicolor in monoculture and mixture. Nitrogen allocation under drought stress was traced using nitrogen stable isotope 15N. Drought disintegrated soil aggregates into finer aggregates for sorghum monoculture and decreased the aggregate proportion in small macro-aggregate fraction for maize monoculture. For plant mixture, drought increased total nitrogen content in micro-aggregate fraction and uptake of added 15N in bulk soil. Hence, the study showed that mix planting maize and sorghum offer better resistance against changes in plant biomass and nitrogen content which suggests its effectiveness in nitrogen conservation during water stress. Moreover, intergrowing maize and sorghum under agroforestry systems also produce advantageous results.
Attempts of Recentralization of Nepal’s Community Forestry
Authors: Baral Srijana
Published: July 2019

Nepal’s community forestry is regarded as a milestone in decentralized forest management, several researchers agree on the livelihoods and environmental outcomes from the community forest, however, the outcomes in governance perspective is rarely questioned. Through the review of the literature, policy documents and decrees, and questionnaire survey in nine community forest user groups in western hills of Nepal; we demonstrate how recentralization is taking place in community forestry in lieu of decentralized policies and discuss their implications on limiting the role of local forest users in forest management. Recentralization through the lens of inventory requirements has been observed in community forestry through (i) the formulation of strategies and policies favorable to increase the role of forest bureaucrats in community forestry (ii) changing the use of technical knowledge patterns and requirements and (iii) increased bureaucratic power. The increased technical knowledge in the form of inventory based forest management planning is found to be the major step in curtailing the devolved rights and increasing the bureaucratic power. Formulation of strategies, guidelines, circulars and policy intervention create a favorable environment for the bureaucrats to exercise more power compared to the autonomy provided by Forest Act 1993. The highly influential upward accountability in community forestry thus questions the modality of decentralized forest management in Nepalese community forestry.

Basis of the general theory of pathology (Part 3. Sepsis as an adaptive protective response of organism)
Authors: Prokopchook V. S. , Lyckbäck A.V.
Published: July 2019

A problem of the essence of sepsis remains unresolved. Sepsis isseen as inadequate, insufficient, or perverted body's response to microbial invasion. The authors analyze the problem of sepsis from the opposite (paradoxical) position based on the well-known postulate that any pathological process (disease) is an adaptation i. e. a protective mechanism. The authors describe known antimicrobial protective barriers ("physiological" and "pathological") and determine a role of different variants of sepsis in protective reactions of human body. The article describes the nature and mechanisms of adaptation under the different variants of sepsis: Wissler – Fanconi’ssubsepsis, intravascular infection, septicopyemia, septicemia and septic shock. These mechanisms might form the basis of pathogenetic therapy. The authors believe that a degree of effectiveness of "pathological" protection of the internal environment is determined by time, i. e. by a duration of a protective effect. In the launch of a septic reaction an important role belongs to a massive invasion of microorganisms into the internal environment of a host by unnatural way – bypassing protective barriers created by evolution. Thus, from the authors' point of view, sepsis is a general pathological process ("pure" infection). Sepsis is a non-specific adaptive (defensive) reaction of human body to a massive microbial invasion.

Fibrinogen is an important factor in blood coagulation. The evaluation of the hemostasis system in women with reproductive disorders is assessed according to fibrinogen level. The purpose of this work was to identify the association between polymorphic variants 455 G/A (rs1800790) and C148T (rs1800787) in the FGB gene and the fibrinogen level in the blood plasma in women with aggravated early reproductive loss or infertility history. The research involved 177 patients. There were studied the relationship between anamnestic, clinical-laboratory data and hemostasis indicators (at the time of treatment) with polymorphic variants of the FGB gene. According to the results of the study, dysfibrinogenemia was observed in 23 % of the examined patients: increased fibrinogen level (≥ 4 g/l) – 8,5 % of patients, decreased fibrinogen level (≤ 2 g/l) –14.5 %. The -455AA genotype and -455AA/148TT genotypes combination for theFGB gene were associated with a decreased level of fibrinogen in women withhypocoagulant hemostatic disorders.

With the appearance of the modern devices for noninvasive ventilation (NIAVL) in our country, the interest to this issue has increased even more, because the use of a simple, atraumatic method of ventilation allows to avoid intubation and of invasive mechanical ventilation through an endotracheal tube with their complications for some patients. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness and indications for the use of noninvasive ventilation in cancer patients which underwent surgical operations on the thoracic organs. Since 2013, 34 patients who underwent surgical treatment on the thoracic organs have been examined. Patients were divided into two groups. The first group included patients (n = 24), which received noninvasive lung ventilation (NIAVL) in the early postoperative period. The second group consisted of patients (n = 10) that were treated according to the local protocol. The use of NIAVL in patients that were operated on the chest organs proved to be effective as it improved hemodynamics and blood gases balance and it can prevent the development of respiratory failure.

Published: July 2019

The purpose of the study was to study the dynamics of changes in morphofunctional heart changes inchildren with non-inflammatory pathology of myocardium on the background of ongoing therapy. There were examined 115 patients (11–18 years old) with various heart diseases.The systolic dysfunction of the myocardium was diagnosedin 50 of them, and treatment was prescribed. In the dynamics, a year later, 40 patients were examined.  It has been established that in children and adolescents, along withpathogenetic and cardiometabolic therapy, in parallel with the improvement of the structure and function of the right ventricle of the heart, morphofunctional indicators ofthe left ventricle are improved.
LIPID PROFILE AND ALBUMINURIA RELATIONSHIP WITH NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM –204 А > С [rs 3808607] OF СУР7А1 GENE IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS AND ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

The aim of our study is the definition of diabetic nephropathy peculiarities and the relationship between albuminuria and indicators of lipid profile, genotype variants of СУР7А1 for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the third stage of arterial hypertension. Patients are divided into 3 groups. The patients of the I group are defined with normoalbuminuria, microalbuminuria – in the ІІ, macroalbuminuria – in the III. The definition of albumin to creatinin ratio is the most precise, but a more expensive method. The SNP –204 А > С [rs 3808607] of СУР7А1 promotor section is defined. Homozygotes by major allele with AA genotype have the less level of albuminuria, aterogenic lipoproteids, general cholesterol, triglycerides and the biggest level of antiaterogenic lipoproteids in comparison with patients with AC and CC genotype. The genotype CC is the worst in the terms of prognosis because the level of albuminuria, aterogenic lipoproteids, general cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoproteids with low density is increased but the level of lipoproteids with high density is decreased.

Bronchial asthma in children has different causes of development, and examination of markers to verify the disease in case of the first signs of bronchial obstruction is an important issue to find transitory or persisting asthma phenotypes. There were examined 156 children with signs of bronchial obstruction syndrome.They were divided into three clinical groups: the first (І) group included 36 children with acute obstructive bronchitis (average age 6,1 ± 0,6 years, 36 % of girls), the second (ІІ) group – 74 children with relapsing obstructive bronchitis (average age 5,60 ± 0,34 years, 38 % of girls), the third (ІІІ) group included 46 children suffering from bronchial asthma for two years (average age 11,6 ± 0,5 years, 33 % of girls).The family history of one of the parents and of both parents, aggravated by allergic diseases, was most often found in patients with bronchial asthma: in 34,8 % of children on maternal side (Р ˂ 0,05 with І, ІІ : ІІІ), in 17,4 % of cases on paternal side (Р ˃ 0,05) and in 4,3 % – on both sides (Р ˃ 0,05). Patients suffering from bronchial asthma in 78,3 % of cases demonstrated domestic, food or medical allergy, that was reliably higher than that of an appropriate number of children in І (33,3 %) and ІІ groups (37,2 %), Р ˂ 0,05. In case of complicated family anamnesis with allergic diseases and the level of nitrogen monoxide metabolites more than 40 µmol/l the diagnostic value of this test in detection of bronchial asthma is the following: sensitivity 87,5 %, specificity 89,5 %, predicted value of a negative result 97,1 % with realization odds ratio 59,5, relative risk 22,3. Relative blood eosinophilia (Р ˂ 0,05 with ІІІ : І, ІІ) and sputum eosinophilia (Р ˂ 0,05 with ІІІ : І, ІІ) in children suffering from bronchial asthma as compared to the patients with obstructive bronchitis were found. In patients with verified asthma compared with children with acute and recurrent obstructive bronchitis, a significantly higher number of eosinophils, alveolar macrophages and epithelial cells in sputum is observed, which is accompanied by a lower content of neutrophil granulocytes and lymphocytes.Thus, in children with bronchial obstruction, even at its first episode, to identify the risk of bronchial asthma, a family history should be carefully collected on the burden of allergic diseases, the history of the child on allergic manifestations, in the dynamics to determine the number of eosinophils in the peripheral blood and induced sputum, the level serum immunoglobulin E and the content of metabolites of nitric oxide in the condensate of exhaled air.
