Authors: Hesti Puspitasari  , Joko Susetyo  , Rahayu Khasanah
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT
PT. Aksamala Adi Andana is a company that produces health products, one of which is "Habbie" telon oil. The increasing demand for products requires companies to maintain and improve the quality of their products. But there are still many defective products that are not in accordance with the standards set by the company. The percentage of telon oil product packaging defects in the January 2020 - December 2020 period reached 5.26%, exceeding the defect tolerance limit of 2%. Types of defects in telon oil product packaging include label sticker defects, cap defects, bottle defects, and folding box defects. Based on the analysis using the Statistical Quality Control (SQC) method, the results of the Pareto diagram show the order of the percentage causes of telon oil product packaging defects, namely sticker label defects (55%), cap defects (21%), bottle defects (13%), and folding box defects. (11%), and the results of the p control chart show that there are 7 of the 12 period points that are outside the control limits with a value of Cp = 0.9489. Based on the analysis using the Failure Mode And Effect Analysis (FMEA) method, the highest RPN value is 192 for the sticker label defect. The Kaizen method is used to generate proposed corrective actions for factors causing defects with the aim of reducing defective products.

A Systematic Mapping of E-Learning Research: An Interdisciplinary and Multi-paradigmatic Perspective from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya
Authors: Peters Mitchell , Perez-Navarro Antoni , Fabregues Sergi
Published: October 2022

E-learning research is a dynamic and ever-expanding interdisciplinary field. Research in this area is often conducted at the intersection of social science, cognitive science, learning sciences, as well as engineering and computer science. Common concerns in the field include ambiguity and confusion toward how best to approach methodological design as well as tensions around whether the field is coherent or fragmented. E-learning research has been characterized as a multi-paradigmatic knowledge field with distinct theoretical foundations and a horizontal knowledge structure composed of “specialist” languages. There has been a remarkable increase in systematic literature reviews in the field, representing a burgeoning research industry. Although there is a clear division between technical and social scientific approaches, there is a scarcity of literature which attempts to synthesize the evidence on how e-learning research is conducted across disciplines and within distinctive research communities from a multi-paradigmatic perspective. The objective of the current study is to systematically map research done in the field of e-learning in higher education at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) within the frame of an institutional analysis. The aim is to identify key features and distinctive approaches to research across disciplines in this area from a multi-paradigmatic perspective. A systematic mapping review has been conducted, synthesizing research published between 2015-2020 by authors affiliated with the UOC. The study identified 291 articles, the majority of which use quantitative approaches following both design-based research methods as well as design and development research aims across three distinct research areas (a) educational research, (b) discipline-based education research and (c) learning engineering research. Fragmentation was identified across distinct research areas and communities of practice, particularly between research aims and the methods used to achieve these aims. By empirically examining the claims about methodological capacity and coherence in e-learning research, recommendations are offered for reorienting the field by: (a) increasing interdisciplinary collaboration through integrated research agendas; (b) supporting the expanding profession of the ‘learning engineer’; and (c) promoting methodological capacity, clarity and innovation.
The Accuracy of AI-Based Automatic Proctoring in Online Exams
Authors: Tweissi Adiy , Al Etaiwi Wael , Al Eisawi Dalia
Published: October 2022

This study technically analyses one of the online exam supervision technologies, namely the Artificial Intelligence-based Auto Proctoring (AiAP). This technology has been heavily presented to the academic sectors around the globe. Proctoring technologies are developed to provide oversight and analysis of students’ behavior in online exams using AI, and sometimes with the supervision of human proctors to maintain academic integrity in a blended format. Manual Testing methodology was used to do a software testing on AiAP for verification of any possible incorrect red flags or detections. The study took place in a Middle Eastern university by conducting online exams for 14 different courses, with a total of 244 students. Afterward, five human proctors were assigned to verify the data obtained by the AiAP software. The results were then compared in terms of monitoring measurements: screen violation, sound of speech, different faces, multiple faces, and eyes movement detection. The proctoring decision was computed by averaging all monitoring measurements and then compared between the human proctors’ and the AiAP decisions, to ultimately set the AiAP against a benchmark (human proctoring) and hence to be viable for use. The decision represented the number of violations to the exam conditions, and the result showed a significant difference between Human Decision (average 25.95%) and AiAP Decision (average 35.61%), and the total number of incorrect decisions made by AiAP was 74 out of 244 exam attempts, concluding that AiAP needed some improvements and updates to meet the human level. The researchers provided some technical limitations, privacy concerns, and recommendations to carefully review before deploying and governing such proctoring technologies at institutional level. This paper contributes to the field of educational technology by providing an evidence-based accuracy test on an automatic proctoring software, and the results demand institutional provision to better establish an appropriate online exam experience for higher educational institutions.

Authors: Arreola-Bravo Francisco Moisés , Canizales-Rodríguez Jesús Manuel , Lizárraga-Salazar Georgina
Published: October 2022

The relationship between identity and organizational commitment is studied in its affective, normative and continuity dimensions in small and medium-sized organizations in the service sector of the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Using a quantitative approach with correlational and cluster analysis, a survey was applied to 147 workers from 12 service companies. The findings show that there is a direct relationship between identity and organizational commitment in its three dimensions; however, the affective dimension is the one that has the greatest strength in said relationship. The cluster analysis was carried out by segmenting the sample into two groups, calling them "more identity and commitment" and "less identity and commitment", finding through the "t" test, that the group that shows the greatest relationship between identity and organizational commitment, are those who are older, older and have a higher educational level; Thus, it is also possible to determine that the variables age, seniority and schooling are good predictors of the relationship between identity and organizational commitment in said sector.
An Application on the Source of Inflation in Turkey
Authors: AZAZİ Hasan
Published: October 2022

High inflation is among the undesirable conditions for the economies of countries in terms of macroeconomics. Inflation is generally seen in economies for two different reasons. These can be listed as demand-pull inflation and cost-push inflation. The objective of the study is to investigate the source of inflation in Turkey. For this purpose, monthly producer price index and consumer price index series for the period of January 2006 and July 2021 were used. First, the stationarity of the variables was analyzed with the Generalized Dickey Fuller Unit Root Test. Then, the Granger Causality Test was applied to the variables. As a result of the analysis, a one-way causality relationship from producer price index to consumer price index was determined. This shows that inflation in Turkey is generally caused by costs. For this reason, the implementation of cost-oriented policies to combat inflation will contribute more to the decrease in inflation.

Con el objetivo de comparar un área silvestre protegida con un sector suburbano perturbado en cuanto a su diversidad de micromamíferos, se recolectan egagrópilas de Lechuza Blanca (Tyto alba) obtenidas del sector La Aurora de Curacaví, que se identifica como una zona suburbana con cierto grado de perturbación; y otras obtenidas del Parque Nacional Río Clarillo. Se identificaron los ítems dietarios de T. alba, enfocado en micromamíferos. Se obtiene un mayor porcentaje de roedores exóticos en el Parque Nacional Río Clarillo que en el sector de Curacaví. Se realiza un cálculo del índice de diversidad Simpson, donde se obtiene un valor levemente superior en la zona de Curacaví en comparación al Parque Nacional Río Clarillo. Se infiere que el área silvestre protegida en estudio está sirviendo como un hábitat favorable para los roedores exóticos. Además, se infiere que la hipótesis de perturbaciones intermedias podría estar influyendo en los resultados en el índice de Simpson para la zona de Curacaví.

A corporeidade e as representações de si compõem o debate acadêmico na Educação, na Educação Física e demais áreas de estudos do desenvolvimento humano. Na adolescência, momento em que se acentua a construção da identidade, as práticas pedagógicas que valorizam a construção de valores sociomorais e o desenvolvimento da autonomia, tornam-se fundamentais. Neste artigo, realizamos uma pesquisa exploratória de revisão sistemática de literatura, com objetivo de analisar produções acadêmico-científicas publicadas em bases das áreas de educação, Educação Física, psicologia e saúde coletiva, nos últimos cinco anos (2017 a 2021), relacionadas ao bullying/cyberbullying em estudantes adolescentes, identificando em especial as pesquisas que se apoiaram nos conceitos da teoria piagetiana sobre o desenvolvimento sociomoral. A busca resultou em 67 produções científicas, sendo que 33 dessas tem enfoque no estudante adolescente. As pesquisas encontradas, mesmo embasadas em referenciais teóricos diferentes, convergiram na indicação de que espaços escolares que contribuem para tomada de consciência das ações, para as soluções de conflitos e que se afastam de ações coercitivas, violentas, arbitrárias e heterônomas, contribuem a médio e longo prazo para o desenvolvimento moral dos estudantes adolescentes. Os estudos enfatizaram o trabalho dos professores como possibilidades de intervenção pedagógica, por meio de uma educação democrática, empática e solidária que contribua com a civilidade, minimizando a indisciplina e o bullying/cyberbullying. Quanto à relação direta entre bullying e cyberbullying com a compreensão do valor das regras e das normas que regulam a convivência social cooperativa, pautada no valor sociomoral do respeito mútuo, amplamente defendida na perspectiva piagetiana, não foi localizada nas produções, na temporalidade investigada.

Published: October 2022

The aim of the study was to examine the effect of proprioceptive and strength exercises applied in addition to dance exercises on the endurance of calf muscles, balance and ankle angles. Participants were randomly divided into two groups as Training Group (n=14; 7 males, 7 females) and Control Group (n=13; 7 males, 6 females). The training group performed a 12-week training programme that included proprioceptive and strength exercises twice a week, just before dance training. Anthropometric measures, static-dynamic balance tests, single heel rise test and 3D kinematic tests were conducted. When the groups were compared, significant changes were observed in the double leg dynamic balance values of the training group, right leg dynamic balance values of the control group, and left leg dynamic balance values of both groups (p<0.05). When ankle angles were compared, the first single heel rise and angle of movement of the last single heel rise values of the training group differed significantly (p<0.05). The balance performance and calf muscle endurance of the dancers can be improved with proprioceptive and strength training, which can contribute positively to movements during the dance.

Functions of discourse micro-markers in spoken academic discourse in university setting
Authors:   Turiba University, Latvia, Drozdova Valerija
Published: October 2022

The present article aims to study the nature of spoken academic discourse in English in university setting and looks particularly at the role of discourse micro-markers in the organization of discourse of a lecturer. English is used as a medium of instruction by non-native academic personnel delivering soft science lectures to international students. The theory provides an overview of contemporary linguistics on discourse markers, outlining the definitions and their functional characteristics. The empirical part of the study is based on the analysis of a case study and the quantitative discourse analysis of a corpus of academic lectures available online. Discourse markers, that are most frequently used in spoken discourse of a lecturer, are studied and the use and the role of ‘so’, ‘now’, ‘OK’, ‘well’, ‘however’, ‘therefore’ and ‘all right’ is investigated. The results of the study describe the functions of discourse markers in spoken academic discourse and show how discourse micro-markers help in understanding the structure and the thematic development of the discourse. / Keywords: spoken academic discourse, university setting, English as a medium of instruction, discourse micro-markers
Layers of the linguistic landscape in the West Bank: observations and questions on the roles of language in Palestine
Authors:   Fulbright Scholar at Bethlehem University, Palestinian Occupied Territories, Bright Anita
Published: October 2022

Although my primary role is as a professor at Portland State University, in Portland, Oregon, USA, I am spending this academic year (2022-23) in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, as a Fulbright Scholar, based at Bethlehem University. Through my observations so far, as well as through my collaborations with colleagues and neighbors, it is easy to see the ways language sits at the center of schooling, particularly in considering the ways it may act as a mirror, to reflect and enhance identity, or an eraser, editing or even censoring parts of who one is or aspires to be. I am repeatedly finding myself reflecting on the ways language plays into the constructs of culturally sustaining pedagogies (Paris & Alim 2017), and what this means for children in Palestine today. Even though I am only about a month into this year-long experience as a person from the US in Palestine, I am already marveling at the semiotic landscape (Kress & van Leeuwen 2020) around me, all, of course, filtered through my primary language, which is US English. And I am noting not just the ways in which the linguistic landscape shapes my realities, but also the ways in which it shows up in school settings, raising the question as to how language and power show up in educational contexts.
Systemic functional linguistics and inclusivity in the classroom
Authors:   English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad, India, Singh Rini
Published: October 2022

This paper contends that pedagogies like genre-based pedagogy and Reading to Learn (R2L), which are informed by systemic functional linguistics (SFL), can help foster inclusivity in classrooms. Both pedagogies are based on the idea that language should be taught functionally and explicitly. SFL informed teaching practices have been used, particularly in educational settings like low-achieving schools, to make the linguistic demands of the curriculum explicit to learners. This has resulted in enhanced student engagement and narrowing of achievement gaps. The paper begins with a brief note on inclusivity and its importance, followed by an introduction to SFL and its architecture. It then explores the applications of genre-based pedagogy and R2L in classrooms (mainly in North America and Australia) as well as the results of such implementations and concludes with an argument that educational research in the Indian context could benefit from applications of Halliday’s functional theory to teacher training and teaching practices at the school level. / Keywords: systemic functional linguistics, inclusivity in the language classroom, genre-based pedagogy, reading to learn, language teaching

The paper deals with the theory of team teaching and related terms. This theoretical background leads us to implementation of the team teaching approach during the EPTE (European Primary Teacher Education) teaching in the Pedagogy and Didactics module through English language as a mean of instruction. We adopted action research and case study as a qualitative research design. The purpose of the research was the reflection of participated teachers on important aspects of the team teaching practice (e.g., necessary time for planning lessons, collaboration, solving issues, as well as evaluation, etc.). The students’ attitude towards team teaching was positive and it was their first experience. We formulate several advantages, disadvantages, as well as implications for teacher practice./ Keywords: team teaching, teamwork, collaboration, action research, lesson planning
English language instruction in a multilingual and multicultural academic setting: Introspections and perspectives
Authors:   Graduate School, Bulacan State University, the Philippines, Nanquil Luisito M.
Published: October 2022

Despite multilingualism and multiculturalism, English language is taught by teachers as they face impacts of globalization, diffusion, and disruption. Armed with ideas, practices, strategies, and perspectives, the English language teachers continue providing quality and relevant language instruction to their students both in virtual and onsite classes. Living in a borderless and boundless world makes learners acquire and learn other languages. As language and literature teachers, we have to be innovative in developing, designing, and implementing new curriculum and instruction that will cater to the needs and diversities of the learners. This reflective and narrative paper aims to discuss and describe the researcher’s fruitful and thoughtful introspections on multilingualism and multiculturalism as they affect and effect online and offline ESL classes, and how teachers cope with the situation. / Keywords: multilingualism, multiculturalism, school/academic setting, inclusivity, socialization
Japan’s death-laden society: Five areas of prospective policy challenges
Authors: Higo Masa
Published: October 2022

Today, Japan stands as the world’s leading super-aged society. In the coming decade, preceding the rest of the aging globe, the country will phase into the next demographic stage called a “death-laden” society. Due in part to the aging and prospective mortality of the country’s two major baby boom generations along with a projected decline in the number of the working age population, Japan will be laden with ballooning deaths from old age from 2030 onward for several decades to come. Only in recent years have researchers started paying attention to this demographic prospect, and to date, little study has been done to systematically examine how the coming of a death-laden society may affect the health, well-being, and comfort of those in advanced age in the country. This paper aims to contribute to the newly emerging body of literature on this subject by exploring, based mainly on findings from expert interviews, five key areas of policy challenges with which Japan’s death-laden society will likely contend. These areas include: (1) shortages in basic medical resources for the dying; (2) mounting public burden of disease; (3) potential prevalence of ‘lonely deaths’ among those in advanced age; (4) urgency to facilitate national discussions on end-of-life options; and (5) crematorium shortages and their cultural impact. The future research is called for to help mitigate the impact of a death-laden society not only for Japan but also for other countries that may follow Japan’s demographic path in the conceivable future.

Nieustannie toczy się dyskusja na temat roli administracji publicznej oraz tego, w jaki sposób zarządzanie nią powinno być zorganizowane, aby spełniało obecne oczekiwania społeczne, takie jak przyjęcie zrównoważonego rozwoju. Wydaje się, że zrównoważony rozwój stał się czymś więcej niż trendem, stał się nową absolutną koniecznością każdej strategii zarządzania i świadczenia organizacyjnego. Przedsiębiorstwa wydają się być o krok do przodu pod względem przyjęcia zrównoważonego rozwoju, zwłaszcza w związku z zaostrzeniem kryteriów ESG wdrażanych głównie przez przedsiębiorstwa. Podmioty sektora publicznego również wydają się podążać tą samą drogą, ale z mniej widoczną szybkością. Niniejsze opracowanie, opierające się na częściowo ustrukturyzowanym podejściu do przeglądu literatury przedmiotu, dotyczy złożoności budowania zdolności administracji publicznej do przyjęcia zrównoważonego rozwoju w wyniku innowacji, podkreślając współzależności między przywództwem, orientacją na innowacje, wartościami i wyzwaniami organizacyjnymi. Autorzy identyfikują bariery i możliwości w przyjmowaniu zrównoważonego rozwoju przez administrację publiczną i proponują empiryczny model budowania potencjału dla instytucji publicznych zorientowanych na zrównoważony rozwój w wyniku innowacji.

Trying to curb the spread of the disease many countries, including Latvia, announced emergency measures, including lockdowns. As the situation surrounding Covid-19 developed, Ministry of Education and Science created various suggestions on how to organise the education process during a coronavirus pandemic, however, these did not cover the work of speech therapists. Language is an important indicator of quality of life and helps to achieve personal and social goals. Therefore, it is especially important to provide speech therapy assistance to children with speech and language disorders at preschool and it is offered in vast majority of preschool educational institutions in Latvia. At present, the course of speech therapy work has been significantly affected by the restrictions that are being implemented in the field of education in Latvia to reduce the spread of Covid-19. In order to understand the effects of Covid-19 restrictions on the work of speech therapists in Latvia, a study Speech therapy intervention in preschool education institutions during Covid-19 pandemic was conducted in April 2021. The questions of the study covered various aspects of managing and performing day to day activities such as conducting speech therapy sessions and communicating with parents before and during the pandemic.

The aim of the article is to analyze the theoretical findings and practical experience of the role of imagination in thinking and the promotion of imagination in the secondary school literature teaching process. In philosophy studies the imagination is associated with thinking and emotions, aesthetics and art, language and creativity. Student language development interacts with the development of thinking and imagination, therefore in literature studies it is preferable to use pedagogical tools that promote imagination, they give the learning process both intellectual and emotional character and are aimed at student self-expression and language creativity, as well as self-experience and the ability to apply in diverse life situations the knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired from the learning process. Imagination as a concept belongs to philosophy, psychology and pedagogy. There are different approaches to the understanding of imagination; however, the unifying view is that imagination is both intellectual and sensual, as well as imitative (reproductive) and creative (productive). Psychologists point out the importance of school in the development of a child's language and thinking, because it is at school age that conditions for the development of the imagination are formed, that is where the child can reflect on the acquired knowledge in imagination and then do it, apply it in practice. It is therefore important for the school to use a variety of pedagogical tools for developing the imagination, including creative imaginative tasks such as stories drawings, drama, giving the process a logical-constructive, emotional direction and a conscious character. Along with the text literacy, the students also discover their attitude towards the world, for the emotional field plays a significant role in a person’s life and thinking. The pedagogical possibilities for the promotion of the imagination stem from the findings of philosophers and psychologists that the imagination is responsible for the deepest creative reflections, because thinking is not possible without images. Imagination in text literacy is related to critical and emotional thinking, to memory and emotions, the ability to compare, the desire to create and it is realized in language. As a result of theoretical research and analysis of self-experience are criteria of imagination for performing creative tasks in literature in secondary school: originality of thought in the task performance (creative, original judgments, solutions); the relevance of the content to the specific creative task; understanding of the meaning of the text and the subtext; involvement of images in the performance of a creative task; use of metaphors and symbols creation of new connections. These criteria are intended for student self-assessment in cooperation between teacher and student, and can be used as a formative assessment in the secondary school literature study process.

Nowadays language learning does not mean only philological and grammar studies, but more and more emphasis is being placed on communication and acquisition of vocabulary and grammar in use by studying them in context. Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) that is a reference for all language teachers in Europe emphasizes the actual need of plurilingual, communicative and creative approach in language teaching. Based on CEFR new Educational Standard in Latvia, including foreign language teaching, has been introduced and enters into force since September 2020. Both documents stress the importance of text use and literacy training in language studies. Several authors admit that contemporary literary texts such as flash fiction as well as song lyrics, advertisements and other texts can enrich the language learning and serve as a basis for mutual discussions, philosophical reflections as well as creative oral and written expression in the language classroom. The present article seeks to answer the following questions: - What does the text mean in the context of foreign languages studies? - What kind of text is suitable for promoting foreign language learning? - Which language specific elements can be taught by the use of texts? - What are the advantages of using literary text in foreign languages studies? The article aims to clarify the importance of the use of text, particularly literary text, in the process of foreign language acquisition, by analyzing actual regulations and linguistic publications on the subject. The article reviews such terms as text and literacy that are the clue words in the big ideas introduced by a new Latvian Educational Standard. Both, the Standard and CEFR highlight the importance of the text use and give precise indications as to how the language learner should work with oral and written text in each of the language proficiency levels. Different types of texts should be used in the learning process, from short dialogues, advertising texts to literary texts, but before any text is selected. It should not be forgotten its relevance to the specific target group of language learners, nor the didactic objectives of its use, which should be the most comprehensive and advanced understanding of the text. Using a complete text structure is more welcome instead of dividing shortening and adapting texts and losing the whole purpose of them. Authentic texts form a language learner’s understanding of the target language user’s culture, its society, philosophical thoughts, promotes the learner’s comprehensive learning, creativity and critical thinking, and is a motivating material not only for learning the language but also for practical communication in today’s European multilingual environment language learner and user lives, both, in business and leisure environment.
