Downward spirals to vulnerability
Authors: Put Bart , Bastaits Kim , Pasteels Inge , Massart Michiel
Published: January 2022

One of the most frequently voiced concerns in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic is ‘not to forget the vulnerable groups in society’. Social workers occupy a privileged position with a view to mapping such vulnerabilities, their complex interrelations, and the processes that increase the risk of falling victim to them. Therefore, in order for policy interventions aimed at mitigating negative impact on vulnerable groups to be effective, it is important to gain an in-depth insight into the first hand experiences and concomitant concerns of social workers. The main aim of this article is to describe and categorize the main concerns social workers had about their clients a few weeks into Belgium’s first wave of the pandemic. The data used derive from a large scale online survey taken among social workers in Flanders and the Brussels region in April/May 2020, closely following the lockdown on 18 March. Thematic coding analysis was used to analyse textual answers with regard to concerns about current clients. Concerns fall into six main categories, the most important one being direct concerns about the safety and wellbeing of clients in the context of various life domains (physical and mental health, family, work, education, social networks, housing, financial and material wealth), apart from concerns about communication issues more in general, about changes in the interactional dynamics between social worker and client, the effects of lockdown related changes to forms of social help, about very specific vulnerable groups, and, lastly, about the resilience of the social work sector. Analysis of the connections between concerns also enables us to reconstruct several chains of events that may result in specific (reinforced) vulnerabilities. If policy interventions aim to be attentive to such vulnerabilities, taking stock of these chains of events is of paramount importance.

Published: January 2022

Ever since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the specialized health-care resources have been the main focus of political attention in any country. However, the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have also had a major impact on social services. The pandemic increased service needs among those who were already adult social work clients before the pandemic; it also created needs among new groups of clients, while the operating environment for service provision changed dramatically.

In our study, we examine social workers’ perceptions on: 1) how well social services were able to respond to clients’ needs during the pandemic; and 2) examine practices in adult social work that were used and developed during the outbreak of the pandemic. For the analysis, we use national survey data obtained from social workers in the Social Barometer survey collected in May 2020 (n=496) and in January 2021 (n=412). The findings show that according to social workers, during the first year of the pandemic social work in Finland succeeded in responding to clients’ rather clear and concrete problems, such as difficulties in applying for social benefits and a lack of housing, while more complicated problems, such as unmanageable debts, loneliness and mental health problems, were not adequately responded to. At the same time, social workers assessed that people suffering from these problems were the most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer of women across the world, which can affect the quality of life in patients due to complications caused by the disease and related treatments. Various treatments have been designed for these patients to improve their life quality. This study aimed to estimate the mean score of health-related quality of life patients with breast cancer in Iran. METHODS: In this study, we searched the national and international databases of SID, MagIran, Google Scholar, ISI/Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus with no time limits using the keywords of “health-related quality of life”, “health related quality of life”, “quality of life”, “breast neoplasm”, “breast cancer”, and “breast tumors”. Data analysis was performed in STATA version 14 based on the heterogeneity state using random effects model. RESULTS: In this study, 15 articles with a sample size of 1883 were evaluated, and the mean global quality of life in patients was reported at 72.48 (95% CI: 64.94–79.82). In addition, the worst performance and symptoms were related to emotional functioning (56.70) (95% CI: 49.84–63.55) and financial difficulties (43.57) (95% CI: 31.47–55.67). CONCLUSION: According to the results of the present study, the Iranian patients with breast cancer had a moderate quality of life in most dimensions.

Authors: Ahmed Yasser S. , Abd El Maksoud Walid M. , Sultan Mohamed Hussein
Published: January 2022

AIM: To evaluate the local dermo-glandular flap as a new reconstructive oncoplastic technique after removal of central malignant tumors of the breast, in terms of patient satisfaction and local recurrence. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included 60 females with centrally located breast cancer who underwent central quadrantectomy and local dermo-glandular flap with either sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary clearance. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 49.68 ± 8.52 years. The duration of the operation ranged from 68–105 minutes, with a mean of 79.77 ± 9.41 minutes. Local recurrence was observed in three patients (5.00%) with no distant metastasis. Forty-seven patients (78.33%) reported satisfaction after the operation. Ugly scarring and the existence of tissue defects were the main factors affecting patient satisfaction. Correction of these complications increased overall satisfaction to 88.33%. CONCLUSIONS: For small- and medium-sized breasts, the use of a local dermo-glandular flap for the management of centrally located malignant tumors seems to be a simple and easy technique with good oncological outcomes and acceptable few minor complications. This technique offers an immediate reconstruction of a new areola with fewer scars that will be hidden later after areola tattooing. Most of the patients reported satisfaction three months after areola reconstruction.
Grouped multi-attribute bid-evaluation decision-making method based on selection preferences and entropy weights
Authors: Liu Xuwang , Li Huihui , Qi Wei
Published: January 2022

With recent developments in information technology and the extensive promotion of Internet Plus, the use of online centralized procurement by governments and enterprise groups has become progressively more common, and the winning bid evaluation decision making method is particularly important in this context. However, experts might not be completely rational during the process of bid evaluation, which may induce the enhancement or repression of bid scores. To address such behaviors during the process of bid evaluation, an automatic mechanism to identify and correct such tendencies is proposed in this study. Because experts have different preferences for different alternatives, which are directly reflected in the evaluation of attribute values. Based on selection preference, this paper proposes a selection preference method for solving the subjective weight of attributes. Firstly, the weights of relevant attributes are first determined via the entropy weight method and the selection preference method, and the weights corresponding to groups are determined according to the differences between the scores assigned by experts. Then, a grouped multi-attribute bid evaluation decision making method is proposed based on the selection preference. Finally, an example is used to verify the effectiveness of the method and its superiority over existing methods. Thus, a theoretical basis and a decision support mechanism are provided in this study for centralized procurement departments of governments and enterprises. Further, it also provides guidance for multi-attribute decision making problems with identical grouped features.

Published: January 2022

With technological advancement, visual search has become an effective tool for searching important information by providing images. We propose a practical medical equipment recognition that can be used in visual search through deep transfer learning. We evaluated three deep learning models, i.e., VGG-16, ResNet-50, and Inception-v3, to recognise ten different classes of medical equipment. A data set consisting of 2,666 images had been collected and augmented to measure the models’ effectiveness. The models pre-trained with the ImageNet data set were transferred to the final models, and the last layers were replaced and trained with the collected data set. A grid search method was then used to find the best combination of hyperparameters, such as optimiser, batch size, epoch number, dropout rate, and learning rate. We tested the models using photos captured using smartphones. The results showed that Inception-v3 outperformed the other two models with the highest accuracy of 0.9454. This is the first study that uses deep transfer learning for recognising medical equipment to our best knowledge. Such recognition technology can potentially be implemented in visual search for helping consumers to check the validity of medical equipment.

Authors: Elayaraja P. , Kumarganesh S. , Martin Sagayam K. , Dang Hien , Pomplun Marc
Published: January 2022

Cervical cancer can be cured if it is initially screened and giving timely treatment to the patients. This paper proposes an optimization technique for exposing and segmenting the cancer portion in cervical images using transform and windowing technique. The image processing steps are preprocessing, transformation, feature extraction, feature optimization, classification, and segmentation involved in the proposed work. Initially, Gabor transform is enforced on the cervical test image to modify the pixels associated with the spatial domain into multi-resolution domain. Subsequently, the parameters of the multi-level features are extracted from the Gabor transformed cervical image. Then, the extracted features are optimized using the Genetic Algorithm (GA), and the optimistic prominent part is classified by the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Finally, the Finite Segmentation Algorithm (FSA) is used to detect and segment the cancer region in cervical images. The proposed GA based CNN classification method describes the effectual detection and classification of cervical cancer by the parameters such as sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. The experimental results are shown 99.37% of average sensitivity, 98.9% of average specificity and 99.21% of average accuracy, 97.8% of PPV, 91.8% of NPV, 96.8% of FPR and 90.4% of FNR.

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence suggests autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction may occur following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Measures of heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure and baroreceptor sensitivity can be used to evaluate ANS dysfunction following mTBI. OBJECTIVE: Summarize the evidence for ANS dysfunction in adults following mTBI. METHODS: A search of Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register, PsycINFO, CINAHL and SPORTDiscus databases was conducted. Search topics included: mTBI and ANS. Identified abstracts were independently reviewed by 2 reviewers followed by full text screening. Risk of bias was assessed using a modified SIGN checklist. A structured synthesis was performed. RESULTS: Thirty-nine studies (combined 1,467 participants diagnosed with mTBI) evaluating ANS function were included. ANS function was evaluated under various conditions including: rest, during exertion, cold pressor test, Valsalva maneuver, using face cooling and eyeball pressure paradigms. Short-term or ultra-short-term recordings were most common. The majority of studies (28/39) were rated as “unacceptable” for quality of evidence. CONCLUSIONS: Altered parameters of ANS function have been reported in multiple conditions following mTBI, both acutely and in the post-acute/chronic stages of recovery. However, due to methodological limitations, conclusions regarding the severity and timing of ANS dysfunction following mTBI cannot be drawn.

Published: January 2022

The adhesive properties of composite coatings based on poly (m-, p-phenylene isophtalamide) with widely used antifriction fillers (copper phthalocyanine, molybdenum disulfide, graphite and boron nitride) were investigated. The results of measurements of adhesive characteristics are obtained by means of cross cutting test and quantitative peel test. Introduction of fillers leads to an increase in the adhesive strength of coatings, while the type of a filler virtually does not affect the adhesive properties. When the filler content is 20 wt.% and more, the cohesive fracture of the coating occurs during the peel test. Introduction of the fillers significantly reduces the value of internal stresses that is accompanied by an increase in the adhesion strength. By way of example of graphite, we showed that an increase in the particle dispersion of the filler results in an increase in the value of adhesion strength of composite coatings, but does not cause any fundamental changes in the character of the dependence of adhesion strength on the filler concentration.

Published: January 2022

In this work, the leaching of iron(II) oxide and calcium oxide from the wastes of thermal power plants by concentrated nitric acid was investigated. A laboratory unit for the study of leaching processes was developed. It was found that the concentrations of iron(II) oxide and calcium oxide in the solution increase with increasing the temperature of the leaching process by nitric acid. The influence of the ratio of reagents on the leaching of iron(II) oxide and calcium oxide from ash and slag wastes was established. An increase in the leaching time in the range of 15–90 minutes positively affects the process of extraction of iron(II) oxide and calcium oxide from ash and slag wastes. The calculated degree of extraction of iron(II) oxide and calcium oxide from ash and slag wastes, as the main criterion for leaching processes, showed that an increase in leaching duration leads to a more complete transition of iron(II) and calcium into solutions. Based on the analysis of the obtained experimental data, the main technological parameters for the extraction of iron(II) oxide and calcium oxide from ash and slag wastes in nitric acid solution have been determined.

Authors: Bunnag Tanattrin
Published: January 2022

This paper examined the causal relationships between per capita electric power consumption and economic growth per capita in Malaysia and Thailand. The data used in this study was the yearly data from 1971 to 2014. The ARDL and Granger causality approaches were employed. Overall, the empirical results showed that it had established a long-run relationship between electric power consumption and economic growth. Moreover, the Granger causality approach recognized a one-way causal direction flowing from economic growth to electric power consumption in Malaysia. However, for Thailand, empirical results had no long-run relationship between electric power consumption and economic growth. Therefore, the Granger causality approach had recognized no way of causal direction flowing from electric power consumption to economic growth. Finally, the empirical results of this study provided policymakers a better understanding of energy consumption and economic growth nexus to formulate energy policy in Malaysia and Thailand. In addition, the government of Malaysia should consider the economic situation when implementing the relevant energy policies.

Using Two Sensors for Damage Detection of Bridge Based on Transfer Entropy of Vehicle-bridge Information
Authors: Zhu Julei , Cai Wen
Published: January 2022

An innovative damage identification method using only two sensors for damage detection of bridge based on transfer entropy of vehicle- bridge information is proposed in this article. In this method, a test vehicle passing through the bridge surface, and structural vibration acceleration responses at two measuring points are measured from two acceleration sensors, which one set on the bridge, and the other one set on the test vehicle. A fixed moving window is defined as a definitive length calculated by the sampling frequency and the fundamental frequency of the measured acceleration responses. The windowed pair time series extracted from the two measured acceleration responses that obtained from the bridge and the moving vehicle respectively are used to calculate the transfer entropy, which is used to define the new damage index. A simply supported beam bridge subjected to a test vehicle is simulated to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of this method. Numerical simulation results show that this method can accurately detect the damages under both single damage scenarios and multiple damage scenarios using acceleration responses obtained from bridge and moving vehicle. It indicates that the method proposed in this article has a promising application prospect in the field of bridge damage detection.

Authors: Cunha Amanda Priscilla da
Published: January 2022

Einleitung: Der diabetische Fuß, der auch durch einen facettenreichen pathophysiologischen Zustand bezeichnet wird, ist durch Läsionen gekennzeichnet, die ohne angemessene Behandlung und spezifische Pflege von den Füßen der Person mit Diabetes ausgehen. Es wird geschätzt, dass die Inzidenz von diabetischen Fußgeschwüren 6,3% der Diabetiker erreicht und ihre Prävalenz sich 10% nähert, und Menschen mit niedrigem sozioökonomischen Status sind die größten Opfer. Angesichts dieser Evidenz basiert die Arbeit auf folgender Problemfrage: Welche Pflege entwickeln Pflegekräfte bei Patienten mit diabetischen Füßen? Allgemeines Ziel: Nachweis der Versorgung des diabetischen Fußes im Zusammenhang mit der Praxis von Krankenschwestern. Methodik: Es wurde ein integratives Review durchgeführt, bei dem in der Auf Pflege spezialisierte bibliographische Datenbank (BDENF), in der Lateinamerikanische und karibische Literatur in den Gesundheitswissenschaften (LILACS) und in recherchiert wurde der Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) und die zu sieben Artikeln führte.. Ergebnisse: Die Studien zeigten, wie die Pflege von Krankenschwestern mit diabetischer Fuß Gesundheitserziehung, Fort- und Weiterbildung, Bewertungstechniken zum diabetischen Fuß, die körperliche Untersuchungen und Selbstversorgung von Patienten mit diabetischen Füßen beinhalten. Es wird bekräftigt, dass diese Pflege vorrangig von Krankenschwestern durchgeführt werden sollte, da Krankenschwestern in ihren Haupt Zuordnungen eine spezifische und qualifizierte Versorgung des Patienten haben. Schlussfolgerung: Es wird daher der Schluss gezogen, dass die Studie mehrere Formen der Pflege durch Krankenschwestern identifiziert hat und dass alle diese Formen für die Kontinuität der Behandlung und die Vermeidung von Komplikationen wichtig sind, jedoch liegt es an der Krankenschwester, ein Fachmann zu sein, der die Qualität ihrer Pflege auf der Grundlage theoretischer Konzepte schätzt, die zu häufigen Schulungen führen.
Subjek Hukum dan Objek Hukum: Sebuah Tinjauan Hukum Islam, Pidana dan Perdata
Authors: Witro Doli , Rasidin Mhd. , Nurjaman Muhamad Izazi
Published: January 2022

When discussing syara’ law, it is always bound by four things, namely al-Hakim, law, mahkumalaih, and mahkumfih. In various legal studies, there are various views in determining that a person can be subject to law, or in other words, capable of law. In essence, everyone is a good bearer, that is, someone who has rights and obligations. Rights bearers are also known as legal subjects. The term legal subject in the discipline of Islamic law is mentioned as mahkumalaih. If there is a legal subject, it will always go hand in hand with a legal object. In the discipline of Islamic law, the object of the law is also called mahkumfih. This article aims to discuss mahkumalaih and mahkumfih in the discipline of Islamic law. The study uses a qualitative approach that is a literature review. The materials for this article were obtained from books, journals, and internet websites related, namely mahkumalaih, and mahkumfih. The data analysis techniques used were data presentation, data reduction, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that mahkumfih is a legal object or is interpreted as an act of mukallaf based on Allah and the Prophet’s command. In the discussion of legal objects, it cannot be separated from the legal subject. In ushulfiqh the subject of law is called mahkumalaih.

Published: January 2022

This study aims to find the pattern of ijtihad in the renewal of waqf law in Indonesia as stipulated in Law No. 41 of  2004. The focus of the object of this research is Article 1 regarding the existence of waqf, Article 16 regarding waqf objects, and Article 40 concerning changes in the status of property. waqf. This research is a qualitative research in the form of literature review. This type of Islamic legal research is included in the category of philosophical normative legal research. The analytical theory used is the contemporary typology of ijtihad proposed by Yusuf al-Qaradawi. This research concludes that the construction of waqf legal reform in Article 1 regarding the existence of waqf, Article 16 regarding the object of waqf, and Article 40 regarding changes in the status of waqf assets tends to use the ijtihad intiqa'i approach, which is to choose a legal opinion of the classical fiqh school which is relevant to developmental conditions and needs of modern society. However, in article 40, the author considers that there is a selection of legal opinions from the jurisprudence schools that do not allow to sell or replace waqf objects which will cause problems in their application. This is because the waqf object in certain conditions can suffer damage and loss of benefit. Therefore, the legal construction in article 40 can be reconsidered.

Irlandia, Grecja czy Hiszpania, po fali emigracji zarobkowej swoich obywateli, stanie się krajem o wzmożonej imigracji. W XXI wieku obserwujemy rosnącą mobilność przestrzenną seniorów, często z Północy Europy na Południe. Część tych przemieszczeń stanowią migracje powrotne. W przypadku Polski, imigranci-seniorzy to najczęściej osoby przed siedemdziesiątym rokiem życia mające polskie obywatelstwo. Świadczy to, iż mamy do czynienia w dużej części przypadków z imigracją powrotną. Rozkład przestrzenny napływu z zagranicy i kraje, z których pochodzą starsi imigranci, sugerują, iż mamy do czynienia z reemigracją Polaków wyjeżdzających jeszcze w XX w.

 

Immigrants over 60 - the case of Poland

Abstract: This article aims to present the scale of the phenomenon of immigration of elderly people to Poland, the demographic structure of people arriving and the directions of immigration in the last decade. It can be assumed that Poland, following a wave of economic emigration of its citizens, will become a country with increased immigration, following the example of countries that joined the European Union several years earlier, e.g. Ireland, Greece or Spain. In the 21st century, we observe the growing spatial mobility of seniors, often from the North of Europe to the South. Part of these movements are return migrations. In the case of Poland, senior immigrants are usually people under the age of seventy who have Polish citizenship. This proves that we are dealing, in a large part, with return immigration. The spatial distribution of the inflow from abroad and the countries of origin of older immigrants suggest that we are dealing with the re-emigration of Poles leaving as early as the 20th century.

Bu çalışmada, çocukların ayrılık kaygısı ile anne babalarının ayrılık kaygısı ve ebeveynliğe yönelik tutumları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amacıyla Ankara’da yaşayan 467 anne babaya ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada “Ayrılık Kaygısı Değerlendirme Ölçeği-Ebeveyn Formu”; “Yetişkin Ayrılık Anksiyetesi Anketi” ve “Ebeveynliğe Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Ayrılık kaygısı düşük çocukların anne babalarının ayrılık anksiyete düzeyinin ve ebeveynliğe yönelik tutumlarının, ayrılık kaygısı yüksek çocukların anne ve babalarınınkinden manidar olarak farklı olup olmadığı bağımsız örneklemler t-testi ile incelenmiştir. Yalnız kalma korkusu ve terk edilme korkusu yüksek çocukların hem annelerinin hem de babalarının ayrılık kaygıları yüksek, evlilik doyumları düşük bulunmuştur. Yalnız kalma korkusu yüksek çocukların annelerinin ebeveynliğe yönelik tutumları yalnız kalma korkusu düşük olan çocukların annelerine kıyasla daha olumsuz bulunmuştur. Terk edilme korkusu yüksek çocukların annelerinin ebeveynliğe yönelik genel tutum ve ilgilerinin de düşük olduğu gözlenmiştir. Ancak yalnız kalma korkusu yüksek ve düşük olan çocukların annelerinin, ebeveynliğe ilişkin öz yeterlik düzeyleri ve ebeveynliğe yönelik ilgi düzeyleri farklı bulunmamıştır.
KARANLIK DÖRTLÜ ( THE SHORT DARK TETRAD-SD4) ÖLÇEĞİNİN TÜRKÇEYE UYARLANMASI VE KARANLIK DÖRTLÜNÜN PAZARLAMA ARAŞTIRMALARINDAKİ YERİNİN TARTIŞILMASI

Psikoloji alan yazınında yaklaşık 20 yıl önce ortaya atılan karanlık üçlü kavramı sosyal bilimlerdeki hemen hemen her disiplinden tüm dünyadaki araştırmacıların dikkatini çekmiş ve kavramla ilgili kapsamlı araştırmalar yürütülmüştür. Takip eden süreçte kavrama dördüncü bir değişkeninin (sadizm) eklenmesi önerilmiş ve kavramın yaratıcıları bu öneriyi dikkate alarak karanlık dörtlü kavramıyla birlikte Karanlık Dörtlü Ölçeği’ni (The Short Dark Tetrad-SD4) geliştirmişlerdir. Bu çalışmada da bu ölçeğin Türkçeye kültürel uyarlaması ve çevirisi gerçekleştirilmiş ve karanlık dörtlünün pazarlama ve tüketici araştırmalarındaki yeri tartışılmıştır. Gerekli çeviri, çeviri kontrol, geri çeviri ve pilot uygulama süreçleri gerçekleştirildikten sonra, iki ayrı örneklem üzerinde keşfedici ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi uygulanmıştır. Analizler sonucunda sadizmin (davranışsal sadizm ve sadistik tutum) ve makyavelizmin (maske ve strateji) iki alt faktöre bölündüğü tespit edilmiştir. Psikopati ve narsisizm ise orijinal ölçekle tutarlı bir şekilde tek faktör olarak ortaya çıkmıştır.
Special Educator Self-Efficacy
Authors: Johnson Sarah Robbie , Jones David R
Published: January 2022

In California, the longstanding insufficiency of special educators has compounded since the 2013-2014 academic year.  Districts and state legislators have relied on the issuance of substandard permits (i.e., Provisional Intern Permits, Short-Term Staff Permits, and Intern Credentials) to counteract the shortage.  However, the effectiveness of this approach has limited evaluation.  This study evaluated differences between pre-service and in-service special educators’ self-efficacy ratings.  Special educators serving in California’s Central Valley on substandard permits or valid teaching credentials (i.e., Preliminary and Clear Credentials) completed the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale.  Differences were assessed across several variables using independent t-tests and one-way ANOVAs.  Significant differences emerged in special educators’ self-reported levels of self-efficacy as a function of credential status, favoring those with valid credentials.  The findings indicate a correlation between special educators’ credential status (a proxy for training) and self-reported self-efficacy.  The results of this study add to the research on special educators’ self-efficacy by exploring the phenomenon among a newly emerged group of California-based special educators: substandard permit holders.

The Meanings, The Associations, and The Functions of Metaphors in Sports Discourse in Kompas Newspaper
Authors: Saragi Devi Melisa
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACTThis research describes the semantic features of metaphors found in sports discourse in Kompas daily newspaper using semantic decomposition, contrasting the semantic components of the source language and the metaphorical expression to discover the meaning, the similar association, and the functions of the metaphors written in the course. Nonparticipant observation, critical reading, and note-taking were used to collect the data. Then all the data was analyzed by using referential identity and distributional methods with substitution and paraphrasing techniques. The first result of this research showed that each fundamental element elaborated by analyzing each domain's diagnostic components could explain the association between the source language and the metaphor. The second result is that the text's association included four similarities; attributes, movement, qualities, and action. The third conclusion is that the metaphors' functions explain and decribe the situation, entertain the team, and evaluate the team.

Abstract

In writing English, second language learners often make errors due to the lack of mastering English or insufficient knowledge about English. The purpose of the research is to look at varieties of second language learners' grammatical errors. In this research, the primary data used are samples from 50 theses abstracts that come from the students of Economics Faculty, magisterial management program of Diponegoro University, which the writer took randomly. The data is analyzed using the surface structure taxonomy, namely omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. They are using Brook's opinion, saying that there are four common reasons for the error made by second language learners. The research shows that the most significant number of mistakes is concerned with misformation. The other errors belong to omission, addition, and misordering, respectively. Besides, their errors are caused mainly by first language interference and overgeneralization; Brook mentions these two reasons. (Ellis, 1993: 159.)
