Challenges in implementing English-only instruction: Insights from EFL student teachers in Taiwan
Authors: Chang Jackie
Published: November 2024

English-only instruction is promoted intensely by the Taiwanese government as an effective method to enhance students’ English language skills in primary schools. Determining how to effectively employ English-only instruction is a major concern for many English educators and authorities in Taiwan. This study explored the challenges encountered by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) student teachers in their English language proficiency while providing English-only instruction in an English language teaching practicum at a Taiwanese elementary school. A qualitative research design was employed in this study. The participants of this study consisted of 11 EFL student teachers. Lesson plans, class observations, and reflective journal entries were the sources of the research data in this study. A thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data of this study. The results indicate that EFL student teachers’ English language proficiency gave them challenges while employing English-only instruction due to inappropriate and inadequate English usage, poor presentation, and infallible native speaker models. Moreover, there is no clear link between EFL student teachers’ English proficiency and their teaching effectiveness. The results also imply that the challenges encountered by EFL student teachers regarding their English language proficiency in employing English-only instruction are related to micro (classroom) and macro (Taiwanese society) relations. The results further provide insights for those involved in designing English-only instruction training programs to be more critically concerned about designing effective pre-service or in-service training programs for EFL teachers.

Authors: Ahmad Maulana Ihsan , Anwari Moh. Kanif
Published: November 2024

The research aimed to extract semantic fields from Arabic online news and advance Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications in understanding and managing news information effectively. It provides a comprehensive approach to processing and analyzing large volumes of Arabic news data by integrating semantic field analysis, NLP, and computational linguistics. Using quantitative methods, Arabic news articles were collected and processed with Python, a popular programming language in data analysis, and applied various NLP techniques and machine learning models to accurately extract semantic fields. The primary objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of different classification models in categorizing Arabic news and to identify the most suitable model for semantic field extraction. The research evaluated five classification models: Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and Gradient Boosting. Among these, SVM achieves the highest overall accuracy of 90%. Specifically, SVM demonstrated exceptional performance in categorizing sports-related news, with a 99% probability and an F1-Score of 98%. However, it faced challenges in categorizing health and science news, achieving a lower F1-Score of 79%. Overall, the study demonstrated the effectiveness of computational methods, particularly SVM, in classifying Arabic news and extracting semantic fields, thereby advancing NLP and computational linguistics. The findings highlighted the potential of SVM for accurate news analysis and the need for further enhancement of NLP techniques to address multilingual and domain-specific challenges.

Published: November 2024

A collaborative project involving three universities was initiated to support lecturers in Indonesia in designing English for Academic Purposes (EAP) instruction adjusted to local needs and the latest advancements in EAP. Using a mixed-methods approach and developmental research design, the study included a needs analysis, implementation of an EAP professional learning program, and a program evaluation survey. Needs analysis was conducted through a survey with 88 lecturers and 618 students from 41 universities in Indonesia. The results of the need analysis were then used to inform the design and delivery of an online professional development program for EAP lecturers. Based on the needs analysis results, the EAP lecturers who participated in the survey conveyed that they required improvements in digital skills, teaching techniques for diverse proficiency levels, and methods for improving students’ productive skills and critical thinking abilities. The participating students also expressed their need for interactive EAP activities, team-based learning, and the use of social media for collaboration and connectivity. Informed by the needs analysis results, a two-month program was designed and delivered in eight 90-minute video conferences, combined with asynchronous activities on a learning platform. As revealed in the post-program survey, the participating lecturers’ feedback on the program highlighted contributing factors to the changes in their technological and pedagogical content knowledge, particularly in the areas of using digital tools and differentiated instruction in EAP. This study highlights the need for continuous professional development to enhance EAP lecturers’ ability to effectively apply acquired skills in teaching and professional practice.
Language shift in Aceh: The sociolinguistic situation of post-conflict society
Authors: Al-Auwal Teuku Muhammad Ridha , Amery Robert , Green Ian
Published: November 2024

Aceh is a special autonomous province of Indonesia located on the northwest tip of Sumatra Island. Aceh had been in conflict with the Indonesian government for more than 3 decades before officially declaring peace in 2005. This study aims to shed light on the sociolinguistic situation in Aceh during the conflict and following the 2005 peace accord, as well as to provide a deeper understanding of the roots of Aceh’s rapid language shift. Based on focus groups with young people and young parents, as well as follow-up interviews with members of an earlier generation, the study revealed that the prolonged conflict between Aceh and Indonesia failed to lead to resistance. Instead of being a colonial language, Indonesian is an integral part of national identity. Even though there was still a stated pride and high level of ideological identification with Acehnese, a gradual shift away from Acehnese began during the conflict. Since the 1970s and 1980s, an emerging phenomenon of Indonesian intergenerational transmission has emerged. This linguistic phenomenon then became more and more common among Acehnese families in the 2000s and peaked after the tsunami and peace agreement. Prestige/modernity, education, and socioeconomic factors seem to be the primary drivers of the Acehnese-to-Indonesian language shift.
Towards Regenerative Material Design and Innovation: Overcoming Multi-Level Barriers
Authors: Hecker Melenie , Toivonen Tuukka
Published: November 2024

The ecological impacts of industrial products are often locked in at the material design stage, requiring transformative changes to practices, mindsets and systems from the beginning of the innovation journey. This paper critically explores how such transformative shifts are being shaped by the application of regenerative principles to material design and innovation practices in the realm of entrepreneurship. It is based on a qualitative interview study with 12 material innovation companies. The study aims to understand the novel innovation practices they are fostering to catalyse regenerative and/or circular approaches that can address global plastic pollution – a major contributor to global GHG emissions. The analysis identifies seven perceived innovation barriers that complicate the full adoption of regenerative principles, including advocating for new product categories, educating B2B customers about novel materials and inventing appropriate scaling approaches. Overcoming these barriers requires mindset-related and systemic transformations, linking this research to broader innovation management, sustainability transitions and regeneration debates. The article concludes by articulating key insights and managerial implications for innovation leaders who are keen to further regenerative transitions through material innovations within (and beyond) their own organisations.

Authors: Ammari Abdelmalek , Mounaji Jamal , Martino Massimiliano , Santi Giovanni , Leporelli Emanuele , Bouassria Karima , Lahrache Samira
Published: November 2024

Objective: This study proposes a process of revitalization and regeneration of the old medina of Bejaad, as well as a methodology for the technical analysis of its urban fabric and traditional structures, while respecting the inherent values of its constructions. Through data related to the location of each building and a more in-depth investigation, a global relationship with its environment and history is established.
 
Theoretical Framework: The old medina of Bejaad, through its ancient fabric and its potential social and economic wealth, should be leveraged for the development of this spiritual city. This built heritage is characterized by buildings that, for the most part, have preserved an uncommon restraint, maintaining the art of past construction and the secrets of local housing. Its housing is composed of two types of built fabric: traditional and more recent structures. These two types of buildings are connected by a network of public spaces that bring the inhabitants together.
 
Method: Creation of specific Building Information Modelling (BIM) object libraries, derived from three-dimensional models created by 3D scanning using Lidar technology.
 
Results and Discussion: The results of this investigation highlight the need to identify new methodologies for studying the built environment, which no longer focus solely on individual building types, but encompass the broader scale of the fabric, within which it is possible to assess the constructive relationships between the elements composing the block. This is achieved through a process of adopting measures for the protection, rehabilitation, and appropriation of their living environment.
 
Originality/Value: The study proposes a practical evaluation approach by providing precise data to improve the preservation of the built heritage of the old medina of Bejaad, with the aim of establishing an architectural, urban, and landscape charter for the city and its components.

Authors:   Universidad Argentina de la Empresa (Argentina), Gilabert Manuel , Berné Manero Maria del Carmen ,   Universidad de Zaragoza (España)
Published: November 2024

Electronic Word-of-Mouth (eWOM) is vital in various industries, particularly in the hospitality sector, where its effects on sales, prices, reputation and other business variables are evident. Understanding how eWOM is accepted and incorporated within organisations is essential for their development. The present study aims to explain managerial behaviour concerning the use of eWOM in hotels. To achieve this, a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) model was validated using data from a questionnaire directed at hotels in a coastal region of Argentina, where year-round and seasonal hotels are located. It was found that the use of eWOM in management depends on the management's intention to use the same which is influenced by their attitude towards it. Additionally, attitude is influenced by the perceived usefulness and ease of management, and use is contingent upon the quality of the eWOM.

Authors:   ESCP Business School  (Francia), Herrero Amo Lola , Hurtado Jarandilla Adriana ,   ESCP Business School  (Francia)
Published: November 2024

The hotel industry, through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), can play an important role in mitigating the negative socioeconomic and environmental impacts of tourism. However, this is only possible when CSR is rigorous. The aim of this paper is to present the methodology developed by RIU Hotels & Resorts and the ESCP Business School (RIU Method) to ensure that the starting point of social investment projects are the realities of the destinations. To do so, we will review in detail the guiding principles of the RIU Method, from its conceptual framework to the design process and the first phases of implementation in Guanacaste (Costa Rica). This will allow us to explain the origin and foundations of an applied model that, although susceptible to greater homogenisation and systematization (especially in terms of impact indicators) opens the way towards a CSR hotel at the service of the sustainable development of destinations.

Authors:   Instituto Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Brasil), Azevedo-Ferreira Maxwell , Zouain Déborah Moraes ,   Universidade do Grande Rio (Brasil)
Published: November 2024

A systematic review was conducted to investigate the influence of social media (SM) on tourist destination (TD) choices. Forty-one articles indexed in Web of Science were selected. The results highlight five emerging data categories: SM influence factors, Content Endorsers, Information Sources, Context, and User Characteristics. Identified influencing factors include destination features, Quality Content, Usability, and eWOM. Various content endorsers were found, yet no consensus on which wields greater consumer influence. Understanding diverse contexts and user profiles is crucial for formulating effective TD strategies. This research underscores the need for further studies and introduces a graphical model, the 'Social Media Azevedo-Ferreira Model,' visually illustrating the scientific literature on this subject. Market implications suggest the production of authentic content reflecting regional culture to foster connections between users and TD. Future research should explore alternative databases.

Published: November 2024

Religious tourism is an important economic and cultural driver for many destinations and is one of the fastest-growing sectors within the global tourism market. Based on a meta-analysis and review of emerging literature from the period 2019-2023 in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) of the Web of Science (WoS), this study analyses, from a quantitative-qualitative approach, the state-of-the-art research on this sub-category of tourism from a corpus of 500 documents. The most relevant results show that the COVID- 19 pandemic affected scientific production, with China, the United States, and Spain being the three countries that have published the most on the subject. Research on tourism to Christian and Islamic destinations appears most frequently. However, destinations linked to Hinduism tend to be over-represented with respect to numbers of people of this creed, which may be due to tourism specialising in meditation and wellness.
Suturing techniques
Authors: Chittoria Ravi Kumar , Reddy Bharath Prakash
Published: November 2024

The act of suturing wounds on the skin has been done for thousands of years. Closing dead space, supporting and strengthening wounds until healing increases their tensile strength, approximating skin edges for an esthetically pleasing and functional result, and minimizing the risks of bleeding and infection remain the primary goals of suture techniques, even though suture materials and techniques have changed. A well-planned closure or flap may have its post-operative appearance jeopardized if the wrong suture technique is used or if the procedure is not performed well. On the other hand, poor surgical skills cannot entirely be made up for by careful suturing. Poor incision placement with respect to relaxed skin tension lines, excessive removal of tissue, or inadequate undermining may limit the surgeon’s options in wound closure and suture placement. Gentle handling of the tissue is also important to optimize wound healing. The choice of suture technique depends on the type and anatomic location of the wound, thickness of the skin, degree of tension, and desired cosmetic result. Proper placement of sutures enhances the precise approximation of the wound edges, which helps minimize and redistribute skin tension. Wound eversion is essential to maximize the likelihood of good epidermal approximation. Eversion is desirable to minimize the risk of scar depression secondary to tissue contraction during healing. Usually, inversion is not desirable, and it probably does not decrease the risk of hypertrophic scarring in an individual with a propensity for hypertrophic scars. To maximize the esthetic and functional outcomes, dead space must be removed, natural anatomic shapes must be restored, and stitch marks must be minimized. This page describes the methods for placing sutures for different kinds of stitches, goes over why certain suture techniques are better than others and goes over the benefits and drawbacks of each suture technique. For the best possible closure of a wound, multiple suture techniques are frequently required. After reading this article, the reader ought to comprehend the basic techniques for inserting each type of suture as well as how and why specific sutures are selected.
Nasal dermoid sinus cyst with intracranial extension and atretic sinus tract in an adult patient
Authors: Gokce Ayse , Onbas Omer
Published: November 2024

Nasal dermoid sinus cyst (NDSC) is a rare congenital lesion due to cephalic neural tube defect. It may also have been seen in other parts of the body. NDSC constitutes 1–3% of all dermoid cysts and 11–12% of those in the head and neck. A NDSC is located in the median line of the nasofrontal region from the glabella to the columella. The differential diagnosis based on location includes epidermal inclusion cyst, glioma, meningomyelocele, meningoencephalocele, teratoma, teratoid cyst, thyroglossal duct cyst, branchial cleft cyst, and benign lymphadenopathy. Intracranial extension causes serious complications such as meningitis, osteomyelitis, abscess formation, hydrocephalus, seizures, and personality changes. All patients with NDSC should be considered to have a potential intracranial extension and should, therefore, undergo pre-operative radiological evaluation. Herein, the authors report an unusual adult patient with NDSC with intracranial extension.

Проблемы реализации налоговых отношений в условиях цифровой трансформации
Authors: Т.Н. Затулина
Published: November 2024

Цифровая трансформация закладывает новый вектор развития налоговых отношений. Пройдя путь эволюции информационного обеспечения ФНС России в условиях действия принципа единого окна формирует новый подход в регулировании обеспечения конституционной обязанности платить налоги, который сегодня отчасти гарантирован со стороны государства. Конституционное закрепление налоговой обязанности в условиях модернизации требует четкого соблюдения возможностей практического их выполнения в налоговых отношениях, модельно сходных с опосредованием прав и свобод налогоплательщиков исходя из норма основного закона. Для повышения качества результатов конституционно-правовых исследований необходима тематическая концептуальная дифференциация в условиях реализации национальных проектов, предопределяющая специфику конституционно-правового регулирования налоговых отношений, механизма его практического обеспечения, оценивания перспектив и вариантов решения существующих проблем

Digital transformation lays down a new vector for the development of tax relations. Having gone through the evolution of the information support of the Federal Tax Service of Russia under the conditions of the single window principle, it forms a new approach to regulating the provision of the constitutional obligation to pay taxes, which today is partially guaranteed by the state. The constitutional consolidation of the tax obligation in the context of modernization requires strict observance of the possibilities of their practical implementation in tax relations, modeled similar to the mediation of the rights and freedoms of taxpayers based on the norm of the basic law. To improve the quality of the results of constitutional and legal research, thematic conceptual differentiation is necessary in the context of the implementation of national projects, which determines the specifics of constitutional and legal regulation of tax relations, the mechanism of its practical support, assessment of prospects and options for solving existing problems

«Es fehlt etwas in der Geschichte…»: (Un)Sichtbarkeit und Repräsentation von Diversität in der schulischen Wissensvermittlung aus der Perspektive der postmigrantischen Generation
Authors: Müller-Suleymanova Dilyara
Published: November 2024

Migrationsbedingte Vielfalt gehört in den meisten Schweizer Schulen zum Alltag. Viele Schüler*innen haben Bezüge zu mehr als einem Land, sie wachsen mit mehreren Sprachen und kulturellen Praktiken auf, ihre Biographien und ihr Alltag sind transnational geprägt. Spiegelt sich diese Vielfalt in den Lehrplänen und in der schulischen Wissensvermittlung wider? In diesem Beitrag werden Erkenntnisse aus Gruppendiskussionen mit Jugendlichen, deren Eltern in die Schweiz eingewandert sind, vorgestellt und ihre Perspektive auf den Schulunterricht erläutert. Wie werden die in der Schule vermittelten Geschichtsinhalte und -bilder von den Jugendlichen wahrgenommen? Haben sie Auswirkungen auf die Jugendlichen und ihr Zugehörigkeitsgefühl und wenn ja, welche? Die verschiedenen Bevölkerungsgruppen in der Schweiz haben unterschiedliche historisch-politische Erfahrungen und Geschichten, die in Geschichtsnarrativen und Bildungsinhalten unterschiedlich repräsentiert und (un)sichtbar gemacht werden. Dies wirft die Frage auf, wie die Vielfalt der Gesellschaft im Schulunterricht abgebildet werden kann.
Differenzkonstruktionen in einer Schweizer Primarklasse
Authors: Mekacher Stephanie
Published: November 2024

Während sich diverse erziehungswissenschaftliche Studien mit der interaktiven Konstruktion und Bearbeitung von Differenzen in schulischen Kontexten auf der Kindergarten- oder Sekundarstufe befassen (vgl. u. a. Biffi et al. 2006; Kampshoff 2013), liegen zu den Fragen, auf welche Weise im schulischen Alltag einer Primarklasse Differenzen in ihrer Verwobenheit hervorgebracht werden und inwiefern diese spezifische Privilegien und Benachteiligungen hervorrufen, im Vergleich zum bundesdeutschen Kontext im Bildungsraum Schweiz kaum Forschungen vor. Die Studie mit dem Titel „Schule macht Schüler*innen. Eine Untersuchung von Differenzkonstruktionen im Primarschulalltag“ (Mekacher, i. D.), welche die Basis für diesen Beitrag darstellt, beleuchtet doing-difference-Prozesse und die damit verbundene (Re-)Produktion von sozialen Ordnungen bzw. Ungleichheiten in schulischen Praktiken. Auf der Grundlage der ethnographischen Feldstudie soll der situativen Differenzherstellung, die den Erstklässler Max in den Blickpunkt rückt, nachgegangen und die Verschränkung der hervorgebrachten heterogenen Differenzlinien verdeutlicht werden.
Reflexionen von Schüler*innen zu Rassismus und Geschichte im Kontext globalhistorisch perspektivierten Unterrichts
Authors: Studer Dominic , Affolter Simon , Marti Philipp
Published: November 2024

Der Beitrag thematisiert Perspektiven von Schüler*innen auf globalhistorischen Geschichtsunterricht mit dem thematischen Fokus auf Rassismus und daraus resultierende Möglichkeiten zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit Macht- und Ungleichheitsverhältnissen. Empirische Grundlage sind Interviews mit neun Schüler*innen, in welchen sie den selbst erlebten Unterricht reflektierten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Unterrichtseinheiten es ihnen ermöglichen, bereits behandelte historische Inhalte neu zu perspektivieren. Zudem schreiben die Schüler*innen Rassismus eine gesellschaftliche Relevanz zu, wobei dieser Gegenwartsbezug nicht zwingend mit der Reflexion eigener Subjektpositionen einhergeht. Dies zeigt die Bedeutsamkeit von Lebensweltbezügen für eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung auf. Eine Diskussion von Gegenwarts- und Lebensweltbezügen im Unterricht ist deshalb entscheidend. Erst so können Schüler*innen Rassismus als ein globales Phänomen der Gegenwart historisch verorten sowie damit einhergehende Macht- und Ungleichheitsverhältnisse (selbst-)kritisch reflektieren.
Affekte und Emotionen: Wege zur machtreflexiven Hochschulbildung durch produktive Verunsicherung
Authors: Gerber Andrea
Published: November 2024

Der Beitrag untersucht Affekte und Emotionen als bislang wenig beachtete Dimension in der Hochschulbildung. Er basiert auf den Ergebnissen einer bildungswissenschaftlichen Interviewstudie mit Lehrenden verschiedener Disziplinen an Deutschschweizer Fachhochschulen, die mit der Grounded Theory Methodologie in Kombination mit einer intersektionalen Analyseperspektive, durchgeführt wurde. Als zentrales Ergebnis der Studie steht die produktive Verunsicherung im Kontext von Diversität im Zentrum des Interessens. Diese verdeutlicht, wie Affekte und Emotionen Bildungsprozesse an Hochschulen beeinflussen und zu Polemik und Abwehr, aber auch zu machtsensibler Selbstreflexion führen können. Diese Prozesse ermöglichen die Anerkennung von Unsicherheit und Verletzlichkeit als Teil der Hochschulbildung und unterstützt die Infragestellung hegemonialer Wissensordnungen. Der Text diskutiert die Notwendigkeit einer machtsensiblen Hochschullehre, welche die Integration von Affekten und Emotionen in ein transformatorisches Bildungsverständnis sowie in die macht- und differenztheoretische Betrachtung und Analyse von Bildungsprozessen mit einem intersektionalen Analysefokus beinhaltet.
Modeling, screening, and techno-economic evaluation of metal-organic frameworks for boil-off gas capture during intercontinental transportation of LNG

Intercontinental transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) relies on the energy-intensive re-liquefaction process to minimize boil-off gas (BOG) losses during trips. Previous research efforts have focused on improving and optimizing the existing process designs to treat BOGs. In this work, we developed an energy-efficient high-pressure and low-temperature (HPLT) adsorption process using nanoporous materials, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), for boil-off gas treatment. A high-throughput, multiscale modeling campaign was carried out to discover high-performance nanoporous materials. Our analyses show that the developed HPLT adsorption process with the optimal adsorbent is more economical than the current state-of-the-art processes for 8-day and 13-day trips, with annualized savings of $1.0–2.0 million per ship. We discuss related challenges and opportunities based on adsorbed storage tank for international energy transportation.
Computational analysis of TYRP1+ CAR T-cells targeting CD19+ and CD28+ melanoma cells
Authors: Singh Yashna , Sharma Gaurav
Published: November 2024

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer originating in the melanocytes and is recognized as one of the most severe and challenging forms of skin cancer to treat. Tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1) is a crucial protein involved in melanin production and is notably overexpressed in melanoma cells. Recently, TYRP1 has been identified as a prospective target in CAR T-Cell therapy, particularly for CD28 receptor binding, to treat patients with rare and cutaneous melanoma subtypes. We hypothesize that the receptor binds to a specific orientation to form a strong interaction. This study aims to elucidate the binding mechanism between CD28+ CAR-T cells and TYRP1-expressing melanoma cells to aid in developing novel therapeutics against melanoma. Initially, molecular docking simulations of CD28 and TYRP1 receptors were conducted. Subsequently, YASARA software was used to perform molecular dynamics simulations of the CD28-TYRP1 complex. The computational analysis revealed strong and stable hook-like interactions between the two receptors, formed at druggable sites as suggested by the P2Rank web server. This investigation into T cell receptor interactions will significantly enhance CAR-T cell therapy's effectiveness for treating cutaneous and rare melanoma subtypes.
