Development and Validation of the Inviting Teaching Effectiveness Scale based on the Invitational Theory
Authors: Al-Musawi Neaman M. S.
Published: May 2022

This study reports on a new instrument, the Inviting Teaching Effectiveness Scale (ITES), which is a 20-item measure based on the fundamental teaching competencies derived from the principles of Invitational Education (Purkey & Novak, 1984). The initial instrument had included 30 items and was then validated on a random sample of 640 students enrolled at the University of Bahrain. The final version of the developed Scale contains 20 items and measures four aspects of inviting teaching effectiveness: Invitational instruction, inviting relationships, invitational assessment and inviting classroom environment. As the new Scale displayed sound psychometric properties, it can be considered as a potentially useful tool to assess teacher performance and improve teaching practices at tertiary level of education. Information about test construction, reliability, validity, and generalizability are presented and implications and benefits associated with use of the instrument as a tool for measuring teaching effectiveness are discussed.

Published: May 2022

The study aimed to investigate the differential item functioning (DIF) for verbal ability test items in the Gulf Multiple Mental Ability Scale for female students in general and Omani Female students in particular in using Mantel-Haenszel (MH) and the Transformed Item Difficulty (TID) methods. The test consisted of 30 multiple-choice items with four distactors. The study sample consisted of the archive data for 4280 students of the third and fourth grades in GCC countries. The results revealed that Sixty Pecent of the items showed DIF related to gender using MH. Similarly, Sixty Pecent of the items showed DIF related to country using MH. DIF values were small indicating weak DIF in most items. Results also indicated that DIF using TID was found for Thirty percent of the items related to gender, and 33.33% related to country. Furthermore, Kappa coefficient 0.524 was moderate between MH method and TID for gender and the agreement ratio was 70%. Kappa coefficient 0.158 was weak between MH method and TID for country and the agreement ratio was 46.67%. Based on the study results the reseachers recommend invistigating the reasons behind the detected differential functioning of some items in the verbal ability test at the second level of the GMMAS scale to avoid and address it.

Comparing Omani Student-teachers’ Expressions of Identities in Traditional EFL Classrooms and Digital Contexts
Authors: Al-Wahaibi Suad
Published: May 2022

Abstract: This paper aims to investigate how virtual social spaces facilitate the expression of female and male Omani student-teachers’ identities, as compared to classroom contexts. The study follows a qualitative research design that is grounded in an interpretivist/constructivist paradigm. Focus group discussions and Language Learning Histories were used for data collection. Fourteen Omani EFL student-teachers participated in this study. The findings are discussed in relation to Dörnyei’s L2 Motivational Self System (2009), the Self-Determination Theory (2002), and Yashima’s International Posture (2009). The research data support the tripartite motivational model, with the expression of Omani-Islamic identity as a powerful motivation for Omani learners to participate in social media. Significantly, the findings reveal that participants’ online identity relates to their actual identity and, thus, bringing their offline identity to the digital context. In a sense, what they consumed offline fed into their online identity. Their online identity was filtered through the lens of English which facilitated their participation in virtual social spaces. The paper argues that social and cultural platforms afford wealthy exposure to and participatory involvement in multicultural-oriented spaces, promoting extensive research of the digital context. The findings of the research are topical as they resonate with the current thinking in the realm of motivation.

Authors: Santhoshkumar F , Jeyarajasekar T. , Kumar S. A. Senthil
Published: May 2022

The Kano model is a hypothesis for service improvement and consumer satisfaction created during the 1980s by Professor Noriaki Kano, a student of Kaoru Ishikawa. The improvement of the Kano model emerged from a logical study exploring the differing meanings of product/service value and their importance. From this study came the acknowledgment of two important parts of value—objective (actual satisfaction or consistence with particulars) and subjective (end-client fulfilment) — just as, their relations. Next five wide characterizations of value components were characterized that mirrored the client experience: 1) Attractive Quality Elements: Elements that when fulfilled provide satisfaction but are OK for the customer when not fulfilled; 2) One-Dimensional Quality Elements: Elements that result in satisfaction when fulfilled and dissatisfaction when not fulfilled; 3) Must-Be Quality Elements: Elements that are absolutely expected but result in dissatisfaction when not fulfilled. During the study, the first three classifications were seen to be the most common scenarios but the below were also found to be possible. 1) Indifferent Quality Elements: Attributes that neither satisfaction in fulfilment or disappointment, whether or not they are satisfied. 2) Reverse Quality Elements: Attributes bring about disappointment when satisfied and fulfilment when not satisfied.

Background: Forearm fractures are one of the most common injuries sustained by children and both bone forearm fractures are estimated around 40% of all pediatric fractures. Pediatric forearm fractures occur in approximately 1 in 100 children per year. Forearm shaft fractures in children are usually treated with closed reduction and cast immobilization and a good functional outcome is obtained, but few patients with gross displacement, angulations, soft tissue swelling due to edema, children nearing skeletal maturity, proximal third fractures, open fractures and displacement after closed manipulation and cast immobilization require surgical intervention. Greater controversy exists regarding the optimal method of fixation in children. Fractures in this age group that cannot be maintained in acceptable alignment with closed reduction can be treated with either intramedullary nails or open reduction and internal fixation with plates. The purpose of this study was to investigate the indications, techniques, clinical results, functional outcomes, possible complications and means of avoiding them in unstable forearm fractures in children treated with titanium elastic nails (TENs). Methods: Our prospective interventional study included Forty five children after application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, consent for study was taken from the parents.

Introduction: Removing fiber posts from root canal–treated teeth is inherent to tooth loss and time consuming. Hence in our study we aim to investigate the accuracy and efficiency of the 3-dimensional dynamic navigation system (DNS) compared with the freehand technique (FH) when removing fiber posts from root canal–treated teeth. Material and Methods: We compared the extracted single rooted teeth prepared with post and build with core. We divided 40 teeth equally as DNS & FH. We compared Global coronal and apical deviations, angular deflection, operation time, and volumetric tooth loss, keeping the p<0.05 as significant.  Results: The DNS group showed significantly lower global coronal and apical deviations and angular deflection than the FH group (P < .05). DNS required less operation time than FH. Moreover, the DNS technique had significantly less volumetric loss of tooth structure than the FH technique (P < .05).Conclusions: The DNS was more precise and effective in removing fiber posts from root canal–treated teeth than the FH technique.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent neurological illness that manifests itself sporadically. The destruction of dopaminergic neuronal cells in the substantia nigra is the primary cause of PD. The cause of PD is unknown, while its pathogenesis is becoming to be recognized as a complex cascade of harmful elements. The majority of insights regarding PD pathogenesis reported evidence of experimental PD models, particularly those caused by neurotoxins. Although many natural and synthetic chemicals have negative effects on neuronal cells of the dopaminergic region, only a few are employed in living animal studies to mimic some of the symptoms of PD. Therefore, more studies are required to better understand the causes of PD and select better neurotoxin models in animals. In this review, we discussed the treatment drugs and animal induced model (neurotoxin model) including MPTP, rotenone,6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), manganese, and paraquat for Parkinson’s disease. We also discussed the neuropathological disease stages and telemedicine current status for PD.

Authors: Rodríguez José Eduardo Palma , Verdezoto Rodrigo Paul Cabrera
Published: May 2022

Agriculture provides a significant fraction of the food consumed worldwide. In Ecuador, a large area is dedicated to the production of corn (Zea mays L.). However, the progress of current projections in agriculture may be directly affected by climate change and its effects. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of climate change on maize (Zea mays L.) crop yields over the last 10 years (2010 - 2020) and to predict future yields under different climate change scenarios proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Variables such as rainfall, temperatures, heliophany, evapotranspiration, solar radiation, and humidity recorded in the last 10 years on a monthly and annual basis were considered. The data were obtained from two weather stations, and their impact on the yield of this crop on different farms was analyzed by linear regression. The ArcGis program was used to predict the 10-year corn production (yield) under the different IPCC scenarios, through the analysis of the Maxent model for Zea mays. The current situation of maize (Zea mays L.) in the Junín canton is affected by considerable climatic variations and other serious effects that are detrimental to the local agricultural system.

It was observed that people with prediabetes had greater performance fatigability of the knee extensors due to contractile mechanisms compared with controls, although less performance fatigability than that of people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The aim of this study was to compare muscle fatigue in normal and prediabetic individuals. A comparative cross- sectional study was conducted in adults between 24-60 years of age.A total of 100 age matched normal and 100 prediabetic individuals were selected for the study. Fatigability was calculated as a function of work done by the pleximeter finger of the dominant hand. The work done was categorized broadly into four groups viz. 0-2 kg.m, 2.1-4 kg.m, 4.1-6 kg.m and 6.1 and above. Fatigue test was performed using Mosso’s Ergograph. The study was conducted at Rajarshi Dashrath Autonomous State Medical College, Ayodhya. Overall, average work done by prediabetic individuals was lesser (0-2 kg.m=23%, 2.1-4 kg.m=58%, 4.1-6= 17% and 6.1 and above=2%) as compared to normal individuals (0-2 kg.m= 20%, 2.1-4 kg.m= 48%, 4.1-6= 27% and 6.1 and above= 5%).T
