Attitudes towards Online Teaching: Gender, Experience, and Age among Iranian English Language Teaching Teachers
Authors: Kianinezhad Neda
Published: December 2023

The field of education is currently experiencing a profound technological revolution, driven by the pervasive influence of the internet. This transformation has made the integration of technology indispensable. This research explores the nuanced influence of gender, age, and experience on the attitudes of 160 Iranian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers toward online teaching. Central to this investigation is the 'Teachers' Attitude Towards Online Teaching' (TAtOT) questionnaire, thoughtfully adapted and validated for Iranian EFL teachers by Kianinezhad (2023). The study reveals a significant gender-based disparity, with male teachers exhibiting a more favorable perspective on online teaching. Additionally, the research establishes a negative correlation between attitudes and both experience and age, indicating that teachers tend to view online teaching less favorably as they gain more experience and age. This study underscores the critical importance of tailored training, well-designed support systems, continuous professional development, collaborative initiatives, and substantial investments in policies and infrastructure to foster a positive attitude toward technology integration among educators. In conclusion, the research not only highlights but also underscores the dynamic interplay of gender, age, and experience in shaping attitudes among Iranian EFL teachers. This understanding empowers educational institutions to develop strategies for promoting technology integration and, consequently, enhancing the quality of online education in the EFL context. Further research in this field is strongly recommended to refine and expand upon these insights, guiding evidence-based practices in teacher education and support in the future.

Published: December 2023

Purpose.

The aim of the present study was to analyse the within-week variations according to the internal (rate of perceived exertion [RPE], and session-RPE) and external (jump height average, minimum jump, maximal jump, range of jump, number of jumps and density) intensity.

Methods.

Twelve male elite/international volleyball athletes from the Portuguese 1st division (age: 21.7 ± 4.19 years of age; experience: 6.2 ± 3.8 years; body mass: 85.7 ± 8.69 kg; height: 192.4 ± 6.25 cm; body mass index: 23.1 ± 1.40 kg/m2) participated in this study. The players were monitored over 26 microcycles, 101 training sessions, and 20 matches. To assess the workload, the CR10 Borg scale and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) were used.

Results.

According to the internal workload, RPE revealed significant differences between MD-4 and MD-2, MD-4 and MD1, MD-3 and MD-1, and MD-2 and MD-1 (p < 0.05). In the same line, session RPE showed significant differences between MD-4 and MD-2, MD-4 and MD-1, MD-3 and MD-2, MD-3 and MD-1, and MD-2 and MD-1 (p < 0.05). On the other hand, the external load demands revealed statistical differences regarding the number of jumps (MD-4 and MD-2, MD-4 and MD-1, MD-3 and MD-1, and MD-2 and MD-1) and the density of the training sessions (MD-4 and MD-1, and MD-2 and MD-1).

Conclusions.

The primary findings of this study suggest that higher-intensity training sessions tend to occur during the middle of the week, with a tapering effect observed as the competition date approaches.

Published: December 2023

Purpose.

The aim of the current study was to investigate differences in the physical performance indicators when implementing various playing styles across a range of tactical situations.

Methods.

The sample comprised 238 matches (476 observations) from the 2021–22 season of the Turkish league’s 1st division. For each observation, nine physical performance indicators obtained through the InStat Scout optical tracking method were analysed. Additionally, 19 factor scores (representing 19 tactical situations) derived from previous research were utilised to categorise each observation into two distinct playing styles.

Results.

Effect sizes (Cohen’s d) obtained from independent samples t-tests revealed significant differences in physical performance indicators in 17 out of the 19 tactical situations. Match interruptions, transitions, final attempts, and the starting position on the field from which a team initiates pressing were identified as influential factors in determining physical demands. Conversely, the playing style adopted by teams during the build-up phase (possession or direct play) did not appear to significantly alter the physical demands.

Conclusions.

The results indicate that in various tactical situations, the physical demands vary based on the playing style adopted by the teams. These findings carry practical implications, as they can assist coaches in making decisions that combine tactical and physical factors.

Authors: Mance Davor , Vilke Siniša , Debelić Borna
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This paper aims to examine the impact of information and communication technologies and their availability in the Central and Eastern European countries that are members of the EU on regional value chains and regional supply chain management and logistics in CEECs in the context of the growing e-commerce industry.Methodology: We used a balanced data panel of 11 countries over 9 years (2011-2019) to examine the impact of ICT indicators on regional supply chains. Th e analysis included the ordinal Spearman rank correlation coefficient and the panel GMM method, which accounts for endogeneity. We implemented the Arellano-Bond estimator within the GMM framework, considering the ordinal nature of the dependent variable. This approach allowed for an effective analysis of the complex relationships in the data, considering the panel structure and the individual country observations.Results: The findings indicate that the hypothesis claiming that the integration of digital technologies in supply chains in CEEs leads to statistically significant improvements in efficiency, controllability, and cost-effectiveness, cannot be rejected. Enhanced communication, collaboration, and overall logistics performance have led to increased customer satisfaction. Additionally, the study shows a positive correlation between ICT infrastructure and logistics performance, emphasizing the crucial role of digital innovations in shaping supply chain dynamics.Conclusion: Th e study supports the hypothesis that integrating digital technologies into supply chain management in Central and Eastern Europe is associated with enhanced efficiency, resilience, and economic integration through value-added export. Th ese insights offer pathways to foster economic integration in the region.
Market capitalisation
and environmental, social and governance ratings in the European Union
Authors: Turjak Sofija , Kristek Ivan
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The paper aims to study the relationship between market capitalisation and environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings of the companies in the European Union (EU).Methodology: The authors analysed a sample of 1,456 companies over five years, from 2016 to 2020. The ESG combined score and market capitalisation of the companies were observed. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the observed variables. The companies from twenty-one EU Member States have been analysed due to data availability.Results: The results showed that a negative correlation is statistically significant, which confirms the results obtained in previous research. Since the ESG scores are measured on a scale where a higher value means a lower rating, the results can be interpreted as valid, and they show that higher ESG ratings positively correlate with the company’s market capitalisation. Conclusion: According to the analysis results, the correlation between ESG ratings and market capitalisation has improved over the years. In the first two years of the analysis, the correlation was weak, while it became stronger in the last three years of analysis. It is crucial for companies to understand this information since it gives them recommendations for future actions. ESG reporting can improve their market position. Since ESG reporting is still voluntary, companies which incorporate ESG reporting into their business strategy can become market leaders.

The dynamics of Pilkosios Dunes relief during 2010–2022, based on the digital elevation model analysis
Authors: Tijūnaitytė Gabrielė , Danielius Simonas , Bevainis Linas , Satkūnas Jonas , Balakauskas Lauras
Published: December 2023

To assess aeolian relief dynamics in Pilkosios Dunes, 6 digital elevation models (DEMs) were prepared from the year 2010, for January, May and October of 2018, for May of 2019, and for November of 2022. These DEMs were then compared with each other to obtain elevation difference rasters through time. The obtained results indicated that elevation changes were directional through time, and their highest intensity coincided with the bare-sand surface class, where active blowout landforms were located. In these locations, the average negative elevation change rate was determined to be approximately 2 cm/year. To analyse the driving forces of these elevation changes, the relationships between a measure of elevation change and the tested factor characteristics were evaluated. The strongest relationship amongst all tested factors was found with the distance to the edge of grassland/bare sand. Locations that were farther away from this edge experienced a four times larger decrease in elevation, compared to areas closer to the edge. The distance to the shoreline, which is related to the absolute altitude, was also an important factor. This relationship can be summarized as follows: the lowest areas, which were further from the lagoon, were inactive; while the highest locations, which were closer to the shoreline, had the highest intensity of elevation change (averaging 0.5–0.7 m for adjacent to the shoreline locations and -1.7 m for locations ~ 300 m away from the shoreline). The slope factor described a trend of how the steepest slopes were decreasing in height by 2 m on average, while gentler slopes were mostly stable.

A Crafts-based Contemporary Tableware Design Derived from Artisanal Pottery Practice of Penujak Village, Lombok
Authors: Kamal Fauzy , Granicia Tisa
Published: December 2023

Craftspeople from various regions of Indonesia have developed specialised earthenware pots and vessels for preparing, cooking, and storing foodstuff. These clay pots and pans’ design is made by adhering to their communal needs, aligned with the local clay’s characteristics. Lombok, an island in Indonesia’s West Nusa Tenggara province known for its pottery, is represented by the three major pottery producing areas of Banyumulek, Masbagik Timur, and Penujak. Primarily, earthenware is chosen for its vast availability and its qualities of porosity allowing for fast firing, cooking over hot woodfire or for cooling and storing. However, distinctive Lombok earthenware pots and vessels have evolved, impacted by local necessities and its clay’s characteristics. Special pre-firing and post-firing techniques have been developed to reduce porosity, smoothen surfaces and produce particular colours. Although these techniques were developed to adjust to the limitations of available resources, they have managed to produce distinctive pottery traits emblematic of the Lombok Potteries.
The purpose of this study is to explore the unique qualities of local Lombok earthenware and its potential applications towards creating contemporary tableware designs. Penujak village was chosen as a producing partner for its finer clay and its ability to produce smaller designs. The design process includes these three stages : research on local techniques, setting design parameters, continued with design exploration and experimentation. It is crucial to understand the unique making process of Lombok pottery to utilise its potential in forming the foundations of the contemporary design outputs. Six designs have been produced in this research, deploying distinctive Lombok pottery traits to serve contemporary needs.

Authors: Afonin S. M.
Published: December 2023

Digital-to-analog piezo converter-actuators are used in nanotechnology, adaptive optics, astronomy, and nanobiomedicine. In this work, the expressions of a digital-to-analog piezo converter-actuator are considered using the equations of reverse piezo effect and the ordinary linear differential equation of the second order. Moreover, the transient characteristic of a digital-to-analog piezo converter-actuator has been determined for nanotechnology, and the mechanical and regulation characteristics of a digital-to-analog piezo converter-actuator have been obtained. We also investigated the static and dynamic characteristics of a digital-to-analog piezo converter-actuator and determined these based on rigidity and mass of the load. The equations for the displacements of the digital-to-analog piezo converter-actuator at the longitudinal, transverse, and shear piezo effects were thus obtained. Finally, the transfer functions of the digital-to-analog piezo converter-actuator were determined at elastic-inertial load.

The Adverse Outcomes of Chorioamnionitis on the Pregnant Female and Their Fetus
Authors: Bambani Taniqsha , Kedia Noopur Ramesh
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Chorioamnionitis is an intra-amniotic infection caused by an ascending polymicrobial bacterial infection. Triple I (intrauterine inflammation or infection or both) is also proposed to replace chorioamnionitis due to its imprecise definition and variable clinical manifestations. Intraamniotic infection is characterized by inflammation of the amniotic fluid, placenta, fetus, fetal membranes, or decidua. Maternal fever, uterine tenderness, maternal tachycardia, fetal tachycardia, and purulent fluid coming from the cervical os (the cervical opening can be external, near the vagina, or internal, near the uterus) are the key clinical findings that are crucial for the diagnosis of clinical chorioamnionitis. Clinically, intra-amnionitic infections have been linked to severe morbidity and death in pregnant women, fetuses, and newborns.
Method: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, LitCovid, MedRxiv, BioRxiv, Google Scholar, EBSCO MEDLINE, CINAHL and Scopus electronic database was done using key words like Chorioamnionitis, adverse complication in pregnancy to mother and her fetus associated with intrauterine infection, Intraamniotic inflammation and triple I. Studies have been included from January 2015 to December 2022.
Result: Chorioamnionitis is most typically caused by ascending infection and is frequently linked with premature membrane rupture. Chorioamnionitis is typically caused by a polymicrobial infection, with Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, and Gram-negative anaerobes being common pathogens. Antimicrobial drugs, antipyretics, rapid treatment, and supportive care are the mainstays of management.
Conclusion: Overall, this review provides a better understanding of Chorioamnionitis and its potential impact on public health. By shedding light on this emerging disease, we hope to contribute to ongoing efforts to prevent and treat of this serious disorder.

A dialogical approach in an educational conversation on the topic of ethnicity and identity
Authors: Muratbayeva B.
Published: December 2023

This article presents a look at ethnicity from the point of view of some important sociological and socioanthropological theories and based on empirical data. One of these theories is Frederick Barth's theory of ethnicity. Everyday life communication and the practice of social interaction are the subjects of the study of ethnomethodology by Harold Garfinkel, and it is an important topic in the dialogic theory of Mikhail Bakhtin. In my study of ethnicity, these approaches, since it is in them that communication is given a primary role, are central and are also reflected in the research method - the method of conversational analysis. Two empirical examples from a rural hospital in Kazakhstan show speech genres in which the ethnic category becomes an integral part of the action and an important means of communication. In this case, the interlocutors resort to the ethnic category in order to clarify the identity of the person they are talking about. In such moments of social interaction, ethnicity is important for interlocutors not in the sense of collective group identity, which divides people into groups, covering up a person's personality, but as information necessary for recognizing and clarifying a specific personality. We are not talking about family, friendship or other close relationships in which the ethnic difference has either long been forgotten or did not matter at all, but about relationships where the interlocutors do not have sufficient information about each other. In this sense, ethnic categories can be compared to a certain extent with the name of a person. The author believes that the use of ethnic categories in everyday language speaks about the similarity of people, about their common speech practices, which are often dominated by stereotypical knowledge, about their common socialization, communication environment, worldview that developed at the beginning of the formation of the (multinational) Soviet state.

Introduction: Pregnancy is a good time to develop a healthy lifestyle in pregnant women which includes physical exercise. The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of physical exercise among pregnant women in Agege local government area in Lagos state, Nigeria. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey method was used; 400 pregnant women were recruited into the study using convenience sampling technique. A structured and validated questionnaire was designed to assess knowledge, attitude and practice of pregnant women towards physical exercise was used to collect data. All the results were tested at 0.05 level of confidence. Results: The result showed that 36% of the pregnant women were between the age of 21-25 years and more than 35% were between 15-20 years, more than (71%) of the women have heard about physical exercise. Nevertheless, only 52% of the pregnant women engaged in physical exercise. Most (54.0%) of them actually prefer domestic activities over real physical exercise. The result suggests that women’s knowledge concerning physical exercise during pregnancy is reasonable and their attitude is positive; however, a large number do not practice physical exercise. Antenatal program may be tailored into introducing guided physical exercise and introduce pregnant women into guided models of fitting exercises for each trimester. Conclusion: Physical exercise in pregnancy is important to aid bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure. Exercise is a subset of physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive and has as objective to improve or maintain physical fitness. Physical activity and exercise promote health and longevity, and minimal adherence to current physical activity guidelines is associated with a significant 20-30% reduction in risk of all-cause mortality. Pregnancy leads to a reduced level of physical activity for most women, the activity level is often further reduced throughout pregnancy, and the pre-pregnancy exercise level is usually not regained six months after childbirth

Précis for Context and Coherence
Authors: Stojnić Una
Published: December 2023

This précis outlines some of the key themes in Context and Coherence. At the core of Context and Coherence is the meta-semantic question: what determines the meaning of context-sensitive language and how do we interpret it as effortlessly as we do? What we can express with language is obviously constrained by grammar, but it also seems to depend on various non-linguistic features of an utterance situation, for example, pointing gestures. Accordingly, it is nearly universally assumed that grammar underspecifi es content: the interpretation of context-sensitive language depends in part on extra-linguistic features of the utterance situation. Contra this dominant tradition, the book develops and defends a thoroughly linguistic account: context-sensitivity resolution is entirely a matter of grammar, which is much more subtle and pervasive than has typically been noticed. In interpreting context-sensitive language as effortlessly as we do, we draw on our knowledge of these subtle, but pervasive, linguistic cues—what I call discourse conventions. If this is right, the dominant, extra-linguistic account must be rejected. It not only mischaracterizes the linguistic conventions affecting context-sensitivity resolution, but its widespread, and often implicit, endorsement leads to philosophically radical conclusions. The recent arguments for non-truth-conditional and non-classical semantics for modal discourse provide just one illustration of this point. But appeals to context are quite common within a wide range of debates across different subfi elds of philosophy, and they typically assume the extra-linguistic model of context-sensitivity resolution. If the account of context-sensitivity developed in Context and Coherence is on the right track, such arguments have to be reconsidered.
