I am Guiding my Students the Right Way? Implementing Discovery Learning in Speaking Skill Practices
Authors: Ayende Edewale , Bleza Edenkelu
Published: June 2022

The discovery learning paradigm, which is discussed in this article, is one that is well-suited to the task of teaching students how to detect observation results when they are presented in written form. The students in this method acquire knowledge by hands-on experience, which encourages both their individual initiative and their individual originality as learners. Discovery When a teacher employs the learning approach, also known as the discovery method, they instruct in such a way that children are exposed to new material that they were previously unaware of. Students engage in activities or learning that involve discovery learning, also known as discovery learning, in order to uncover concepts and principles through their own internal mental processes. Students are required to conduct observations, categorize information, form hypotheses, explain their reasoning, and draw conclusions as part of the process of finding concepts or principles. The improvement of students' English proficiency is the focus of this article, which takes a discovery learning strategy to achieve that goal.
INTERNET BANKING AND FINANCIAL INTERMEDIATION IN THE NIGERIAN BANKING INDUSTRY
Authors:   Department of Banking and Finance, University of Jos, Ayeni Akintunde , David Oloruntoba ,   Department of Banking and Finance, University of Jos, Jamok Arandong ,   Department of Business Administration, University of Jos

The acceptance and deployment of internet banking service is expected to improve financial intermediation banking system by reducing cost of transactions, enhancing liquidity and increased financial intermediation. However, this is a far cry to what is being experienced in the Nigerian banking industry, as credit flow from banks have been on the decline. It has been revealed that the total credit from banks to the economy recorded a decline of #135.8bn from #15.74tn at the end of the fourth quarter of last year to #15.6tn in the first three months of 2020. These revelations suggest that Nigeria’s economic growth trajectory has been diminutive, as individuals have found it difficult to have access for either start-up or expansion of their businesses from banks. On this premise, this study was carried out to investigate the effect of internet banking on financial intermediation. In a clear departure from existing literature, the study factored in the moderating effects of interest rate and cash reserve ratio, which hitherto has been identified as key impediments to bank intermediation. Data was collected from 2009 to 2020 on monthly bases from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the variables; financial intermediation (measured as ratio of currency outside banks to broad money supply), interest rate, cash reserve ratio and internet banking service for all commercial banks in Nigeria. Linear Regression models were formulated to achieve the stated objectives. Findings revealed that internet banking service has a negative insignificant effect on financial intermediation, the interaction between internet banking and interest rate has a positive insignificant effect on financial intermediation while the interaction between internet banking and cash reserve ratio has a negative insignificant effect on financial intermediation. It was recommended among others that the Central bank of Nigeria should make efforts to alleviate the cost of internet banking borne by banks. This will certainly reduce the burden on banks and make more money available for intermediation.

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of organizational justice on commitment. The study drew participant from the hospitality industry with a special focus on Ogun State Property and Investment Corporation (OPIC). A sample size of one hundred and twenty-eight (128) staff were selected with the aid of convenience sampling technique. The data were then presented in simple percentage frequency table while the hypotheses were tested using correlation co-efficient and OLS with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS, version 23). The research findings show that there is a significant relationship between distributive justice and organizational commitment. Also there is a significant relationship between procedural justice and organizational commitment. Furthermore, informational justice does not significantly affect employee trust in management. Therefore, it is recommended that Procedural justice can be fostered further through employee involvement which gives them a voice during a decision-making process, influence over the outcome or by adherence to fair process criteria, such as consistency, lack of bias, correctability, representation, accuracy, and ethicality. And also that employers should have and put into practice organizational justice in dealing with their employees so as to bring about committed employees who will eventually see to the survival of the organization through improved performance.

The accessible population of this study was drawn from the Customers of 10 selected Hotels in Port Harcourt. A sample size of 246 respondents was drawn using Freud and William’s Formula. The study adopted a descriptive Survey Design. Face and Content validity were employed to assess the relevance of the instrument while Cronbach Alpha Statistics was used to determine the reliability of the instrument. The Research Questions were analyzed using descriptive statistics while the Null Hypotheses were statistically tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Services (SPSS) version 22. The findings showed that New Value System had a positive Correlation with Effectiveness and Sales Revenue (r = 0.751; p=0.000; p < 0.05), (r = 0.862; p=0.000; p < 0.05). New Technological Service Delivery System had a strong Correlation with Effectiveness and Sales Revenue (r = 0.726; p=0.000; p < 0.05), (r = 0.863; p=0.000; p < 0.05). Based on the findings, we concluded that Service Innovation is a determinant of Hotel Business Performance in Port Harcourt. Being a service industry, New Value System and New Technological Service Delivery System would contribute immensely to Hotel Business Performance in Port Harcourt. Therefore, our recommendations were: There should be a department solely responsible for welcoming and taking care of new customers. Warm welcoming and receptions should be given to new customers in the Hotel Industry. Promo packages should be organized for new customers to gain a competitive advantage.

Published: June 2022

The year 2005 was named the second Year of Africa, recalling 1960, the Year of Africa in which African nations won their independence one after another. With aid to Africa being a major discussion topic of the Gleneagles Summit and focus of the mid-term evaluation of the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MGDs) on Africa, international attention has been turned to the serious issues of poverty, communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, and conflicts faced by Sub-Saharan African nations. From the standpoint of area studies, whose goal is the understanding of others, the increased attention on and increased newspaper and television coverage of Africa is seen as a positive development. However, given the focus of coverage on disasters, it is important to recognize that such narrow coverage can potentially lead to one-dimensional stereotyping of the region. This paper is a short economic review designed to assess certain challenges affecting African politics.

Published: June 2022

The study concerns a comparative analysis of battery storage technologies used for photovoltaic solar energy installations used in residential applications. Battery storage is needed because of the intermittent nature of photovoltaic solar energy generation and also because of the need to store up excess energy generated in periods of high demand or for sales to the National Grid System. The study consists of three parts; namely: (a) to undertake a comprehensive review of current battery storage technologies. (b) To investigate the performance of the main battery storage technologies that is commercially available (efficiency, energy density, power density, self-discharge per day and power rating); (c). Undertake comparison of battery energy storage technologies. From the findings, it shows that the Lithium Ion Battery technology is the most reliable and most widely used technology for residential applications. It has the best performance characteristics (efficiency, energy density, power density, moderate self-discharge and power rating) however, lithium ion batteries are still relatively expensive among others. Due to these features the Lithium Ion Battery technology stands a total chance of dominating the Battery technology market for residential and automotive applications. Also shows from the findings, the performing reliability of the Lithium ion battery by using the battery application requirements and the dangers in operating at a not required specification. More recommendations were made in areas of challenges faced by the battery storage technologies in order to make improvement.

Authors: Dineshraj V  , Dr. V. Prasanna Moorthy
Published: June 2022

Power is the crucial key for the commercial growth of any developing country. In recent years, environmental concerns and rising oil prices have contributed to the development and commercialization of Electric Vehicle (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV). Electric Vehicle is emerging in the market with rapid pace and their supporting equipment has become inevitable. The charging station is one such module, were this work has been attempted. In this proposed work, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based MPPT is applied to track the maximum power from the solar panel which is employed in the EV charging station. In ANN, Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used for tracking maximum power. This algorithm trains the neural network which is used for controlling the duty cycle of the DC-DC converter. Here electric vehicle charging station integrates solar photovoltaic (PV), energy storage system. The output and efficiency is compared between the Bayesian Regularization and Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. Based on the results obtained, the performance of the proposed method is evaluated using MATLAB/ Simulink software and the advantage of this type of method is that it has greater accuracy.

Researches on blended words in Korean and psycholinguistic experiments: Focused on how to use lexical decision tasks
Authors:   Morphology, Song Won-Yong
Published: June 2022

This paper introduces the method of morphology research using psycholinguistic experiments that started to support 'vocabulary-inference-based morphology' as an empirical method, focusing on research cases on Korean hybrid languages, and thus morphology using psycholinguistic experiments. We would like to share the prospects of research methodology. ‘Vocabulary-Inference-based Morphology’ is a study of morphology from a constructivist perspective, and can be said to be an aspect of functionalist morphology. By understanding all Korean words as observable linguistic phenomena, we tried to study the 'content and organization of the psychological lexicon', and not only tried to explain word formation as a universal cognitive process based on 'analogy', but also This is because it attempts to capture the situation and context in which the stored words are used in the communication process by including them in the function of the lexicon of 'vocabulary access and lexical information retrieval'. Most of the research up to now using psycholinguistic methods has attempted to verify the psychological reality of grammatical units that exist in various layers of morphological research by using a psychological experiment called a lexical judgment task and a statistical test for the results of the experiment. This paper intends to lay a stepping stone to help expand the basis of constructivist and functionalist morphology research by introducing such a research methodology comprehensively and concretely.
Bakkum of Choe Hyeonbae
Authors:   Morphology, Jeong Handero
Published: June 2022

In the Korean traditional grammar, the initial study on the bakkum(change) of words(gi, ssi) focused on change of part-of-speech introduced for functional purposes to construct the correct sentence. A representative example is gimom-bakkum by Ju Sigyeong (1910). Then in Gim Dubong (1916), which described tteut-bakkum(change of meaning) and mom-bakkum(change of part-of-speech) in a balanced manner, the search for change of meaning began in earnest, and as a result, the use of bakkum was expanded to a wider area. A series of studies from Choe Hyeonbae (1930, 1934, 1936) to Choe Hyeonbae (1937) show that bakkum has entered another stage. While actively discussing change of shape centered on ssikkeut-bakkum(change of ending) and kkol-bakkum(change of shape), the concept of bakkum were expanded to another area different from the existing change of part-of-speech and change of meaning. In the process, the role of ssigaji, which leads ssikkeut-bakkum, was greatly emphasized and interest in the word composition began, and contents directly related to word formation theory appeared in the literature through jjahim of ssi. This article discusses the succession and change aspects surrounding bakkum from Ju Sigyeong (1910) and Gim Dubong (1916) to Choe Hyeonbae (1937).

Mit Nanopartikeln zu verbesserter Schweißerschutzkleidung
Authors: Gutmann Jochen S. , Mayer-Gall Thomas , Textor Torsten , Kamps Leonie
Published: June 2022

Schweißerschutzkleidung muss unterschiedlichen Anforderungen genügen. Sie muss u.a. flammfest sein, den Schweißer vor Metallspritzern schützen, die beim Schweißen entstehen, und einen Schutz vor UV-Licht sicherstellen, das im Schweißbogen entsteht. Besonders der Schutz vor Metallspritzern wird durch das Flächengewicht der Textilien bestimmt. Der entsprechende Schutzfaktor wird durch Tropfen aus flüssigem Eisen bestimmt, die auf ein Gewebe fallen. Dabei gilt: Je höher das Flächengewicht ausfällt, desto höher ist der Schutz vor Schweißspritzern. Jedoch gilt auch: Je höher das Flächengewicht ausfällt, desto schlechter ist der Tragekomfort und desto wärmender ist die Kleidung, wodurch die körperliche Belastung des Trägers steigt. Durch die Applikation von Nanopartikeln ist es möglich, das benötigte Flächengewicht der Kleidung zu reduzieren.

Exploring financial and investment strategies as foundational pillars of successful African economies : a case study of Namibia
Authors:   , Mutsvene Thomas
Published: June 2022

This research outlines that amidst the raging debates, Africa is at the receiving end of the effects of ill-crafted financial and investment strategies of their own making. The major research problem is that African economies lose a lot of investment opportunities through lost investor confidence caused by political polarisation, weakening currency value and ignoring the resources available within the economy. The main aim of the research was to explore how financial and investment strategies can be used to improve African economies to be successful. The goal was to see how financial and investment strategy can be harnessed to achieve successful African economies through examining the effect of such strategies on the economy and comparing performance of Namibian economy against others as well as the impact of joining the rand monetary union and politics. The research adopted a mixed research methodology on data from eight countries out of the total population of fifty four African countries in various income levels. The sample size was two hundred (200) participants and one hundred and fifty (150) responded to the research instrument(s). The major findings revealed that financial and investment strategies revolving around the available resources are the bedrock upon which successful African economies hinge on, hence, there is need to tap into untapped resources and engage in massive beneficiation in pursuit of economic growth and development agenda. Practical and managerial implications of this research show the need of developing financial and investment strategies revolving around economy’s resources so as to tap into significant incomes and investment opportunities wrapped in them. The major contribution of this research is a thrust on beneficiation and value engineering along the resources exploitation value chain as most African literature has provided little scope on the importance of this process and its impact on financial and investment growth in Africa.

The relationship between PM2.5 and anticyclonic wave activity during summer over the United States
Authors: Wang Ye , Mahowald Natalie , Hess Peter , Sun Wenxiu , Chen Gang
Published: June 2022

Abstract. To better understand the role of atmospheric dynamics in modulating surface concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), we relate the anticyclonic wave activity (AWA) metric and PM2.5 data from the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environment (IMPROVE) data for the period of 1988–2014 over the US. The observational results are compared with hindcast simulations over the past 2 decades using the National Center for Atmospheric Research–Community Earth System Model (NCAR CESM). We find that PM2.5 is positively correlated (up to R=0.65) with AWA changes close to the observing sites using regression analysis. The composite AWA for high-aerosol days (all daily PM2.5 above the 90th percentile) shows a similarly strong correlation between PM2.5 and AWA. The most prominent correlation occurs in the Midwestern US. Furthermore, the higher quantiles of PM2.5 levels are more sensitive to the changes in AWA. For example, we find that the averaged sensitivity of the 90th-percentile PM2.5 to changes in AWA is approximately 3 times as strong as the sensitivity of 10th-percentile PM2.5 at one site (Arendtsville, Pennsylvania; 39.92∘ N, 77.31∘ W). The higher values of the 90th percentile compared to the 50th percentile in quantile regression slopes are most prominent over the northeastern US. In addition, future changes in US PM2.5 based only on changes in climate are estimated to increase PM2.5 concentrations due to increased AWA in summer over areas where PM2.5 variations are dominated by meteorological changes, especially over the western US. Changes between current and future climates in AWA can explain up to 75 % of PM2.5 variability using a linear regression model. Our analysis indicates that higher PM2.5 concentrations occur when a positive AWA anomaly is prominent, which could be critical for understanding how pollutants respond to changing atmospheric circulation as well as for developing robust pollution projections.

Ensemble simulations with the Terrestrial Systems Modelling Platform (TSMP) covering northwestern Germany are evaluated for three summertime convective storms using polarimetric X-band radar measurements. Using a forward operator, the simulated microphysical processes have been evaluated in radar observation space.
Observed differential reflectivity (ZDR) columns, which are proxies for updrafts, and multi-variate fingerprints for size sorting and aggregation processes are captured by the model, but co-located specific differential phase (KDP) columns in observations are not reproduced in the simulations. Also, the simulated ZDR columns, generated by only small-sized supercooled drops, show smaller absolute ZDR values and a reduced width compared to their observational counterparts, which points to deficiencies in the cloud microphysics scheme as well as the forward operator, which does not have explicit information of water content of ice hydrometeors. Above the melting layer, the simulated polarimetric variables also show weak variability, which can be at least partly explained by the reduced particle diversity in the model and the inability of the T-matrix method to reproduce the polarimetric signatures of snow and graupel; i.e. current forward operators need to be further developed to fully exploit radar data for model evaluation and improvement. Below the melting level, the model captures the observed increase in reflectivity, ZDR and specific differential phase (KDP) towards the ground. The contoured frequency altitude diagrams (CFADs) of the synthetic and observed polarimetric variables were also used to evaluate the model microphysical processes statistically. In general, CFADs of the cross-correlation coefficient (ρhv) were poorly simulated. CFADs of ZDR and KDP were similar but the model exhibits a relatively narrow distribution above the melting layer for both, and a bimodal distribution for ZDR below the melting layer, indicating either differences in the mechanism of precipitation formation or errors in forward operator which uses a functional form of drop size distribution. In general, the model was found to underestimate the convective area fraction, high reflectivities, and the width/magnitude of ZDR columns, all leading to an underestimation of the frequency distribution for high precipitation values.

Abstract. This study evaluates the performance of four bulk-type microphysics schemes,
Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) double-moment 6-class (WDM6), WRF
double-moment 7-class (WDM7), Thompson, and Morrison, focusing on
hydrometeors and microphysics budgets in the WRF model version 4.1.3. Eight
snowstorm cases, which can be sub-categorized as cold-low, warm-low, and
air–sea interaction cases are selected, depending on the synoptic environment during the
International Collaborative Experiment for Pyeongchang Olympics and Paralympics (ICE-POP 2018) field campaign. All
simulations present a positive bias in the simulated surface precipitation
for cold-low and warm-low cases. Furthermore, the simulations for the
warm-low cases show a higher probability of detection score than simulations
for the cold-low and air–sea interaction cases even though the simulations
fail to capture the accurate transition layer for wind direction. WDM6 and
WDM7 simulate abundant cloud ice for the cold-low and warm-low cases, and thus
snow is mainly generated by aggregation. Meanwhile, Thompson and Morrison schemes
simulate insignificant cloud ice amounts, especially over the lower
atmosphere, where cloud water is simulated instead. Snow in the Thompson and
Morrison schemes is mainly formed by the accretion between snow and cloud water and
deposition. The melting process is analyzed as a key process to generate
rain in all schemes. The discovered positive precipitation bias for the
warm-low and cold-low cases can be mitigated by reducing the melting
efficiency in all schemes. The contribution of melting to rain production is
reduced for the air–sea interaction case with decreased solid-phase
hydrometeors and increased cloud water in all simulations.

Abstract. A reliable optimization of dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) parameters is extremely important to analyze its dynamic damping characteristics and improve its vibration suppression performance. In this paper, we will discuss a parameter optimization method of the Voigt and three-element DVA models according to the H∞ optimization criterion. The particle swarm optimization method is an effective heuristic
optimization algorithm; however, it is easy to lose diversity and fall into local extremum. To solve this problem, the adaptive multiswarm particle swarm optimization (AM-PSO) is used to search the solution of the DVA models. Particles in AM-PSO are adaptively divided into multiple swarms, and
the variable substitution learning strategy is utilized to reduce their computational complexity and improve the algorithm's global search capability. In addition, the AM-PSO method is employed to optimize the parameters of DVA models and compared with the genetic algorithm and PSO. The simulation results show that the AM-PSO algorithm has superior performance. Also, the adaptive multiswarm numerical design method discussed herein will push the field towards practical applications, including traditional DVA and related complex three-element DVA.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar a literatura científica existente relacionada à empatia entre os estudantes de medicina. A metodologia utilizada foi a revisão sistemática de literatura com material pesquisado disponível nas bases de dados MEDLINE, Pubmed e Google Acadêmico, publicados a partir de 2012. Como resultado foram obtidos 16 artigos, que foram selecionados após leitura minuciosa do conteúdo. A discussão foi dividida em tópicos específicos, como segue: 1) empatia e fatores associados; 2) relação entre empatia e a prática médica; 3) abordagem da empatia durante a graduação em medicina. Conclusão: A literatura existente revela a necessidade de desenvolver a habilidade empática entre os estudantes de medicina. A maioria dos artigos contemplados nesta revisão sistemática considera que a empatia não tem desenvolvimento considerável e satisfatório durante a graduação, como seria esperado, mas declina ou permanece inalterado no período acadêmico. O ensino da empatia é um tema a ser considerado pelas Faculdades de Medicina e pode ser um instrumento útil para a formação médica.

Published: June 2022

Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumor formed of osteoid and woven bone surrounded by a halo of reactive bone. This lesion is most common in young patients. The classical surgical treatment for this tumor include curettage, en bloc resection and wide resection and have been applied for many years, the success of classical surgery has been reported as 88-100%. Minimally invasive method which is represented by radiofrequency ablation has been proven to be a safe and effective method. The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical success of radiofrequency ablation in treatment of osteoid osteoma at various sites (except spine and pelvis) and comparing the results with open surgical curettage. Thirteen patients with Osteoid osteoma (7 female and 6 male). Their ages were between 7-36 years, the osteoid osteoma localized in extremities, (six were treated by x- ray guided radiofrequency ablation and seven treated by open surgical curettage) at Al-Sader medical city and the Iraqi specialized center in Al-Najaf city. From June 2018 to August 2019 with a follow up period ranged from 6-12 months. Pain severity were evaluated by using visual analogue scale before and after the procedure. The VAS scores for all osteoid osteoma patients treated either with radiofrequency ablation or with surgical excision significantly decreased except for one case treated with radiofrequency ablation in which recurrence had been reported. There was absence of few patients at time of six months follow up visit. There were no significant intraoperative complications, like pathological fracture. In conclusions; surgical curettage is potentially an effective method without any recurrence. RFA is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment.
