Here Be Dragons: an autistic woman and clinical psychologist’s reflections on narrative therapy
Authors: Lassman Francesca , Reynolds Hannah
Published: December 2024

This paper is a collaboration between Hannah- an autistic person seeking therapeutic conversations- and Fran, a non-autistic clinical psychologist and narrative therapist. We are writing this paper to share some of our journey together as expressed through Hannah’s therapy inspired poems. Our hope is to make visible how narrative therapy can be a powerful therapy for autistic/neurodivergent people as well as an honest reflection of the hazards we have encountered. The original intention was for this sharing to be generative for practitioners, as well as a useful reference for neurodivergent people seeking therapy. However, as the journey of writing unfolded something different seemed to emerge. It became a dive into what happened in the therapeutic space, in the relational space, how ideas were experienced, taken up and what was created in the process. We have tried to keep this writing as honest and frank as possible- it is a conversation that unfolded through writing and we have left this conversation as raw as possible, only really editing for clarity. We hope you find some connection, resonance, thoughts, questions, or perhaps something else entirely!
Often I would offer Hannah an invitation in sessions (a preferred term for question, which has connotations of needing an answer and getting it right) and she would not have a verbal answer. But several days later she would share a response in the form of a poem. Hannah had not written poetry for many years. These poems were received as gifts; they helped both of us to step closer to Hannah’s felt or experienced landscape and make meaning in preferred ways. We have chosen to weave our discussions through these poems, and the form and structure we have used reflects how the poems were received and responded to.
Please note that when we refer to autistic/autistic person we don’t mean having a professional diagnosis of autism but anyone with a formal or self-diagnosis of autism.
ANTONYMOUS PAIRS OF FORMS-IDIOMS IN RUSSIAN EVERYDAY DISCOURSE
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Nan Wu
Published: December 2024

The article deals with the description of the usage peculiarities in
Russian everyday discourse of a number of prepositional-case structural unitsconstructions – forms-idioms (FId) (v kajf – ne v kajf, v mast’ – ne v mast’,
k dobru – ne k dobru, v dukhe – ne v dukhe, v sebe – ne v sebe). The analysis of the
corpus material showed that some similar pairs of forms-idioms are real antonyms
(v kajf – ne v kajf, v mast’ – ne v mast’), and in other pairs of FId the presence
or absence of a negative particle changes not just semantics (plus to minus),
but also grammar: Okh/ ne k dobru eto (predicate) – Cho-to zhivot ne k dobru
pobalivayet (addition) – odna i ta zhe osobennost’ l’va mozhet tolkovat’sya <....>
i k dobru/ i ko zlu (circumstance). It no longer allows considering such pairs as
antonymous. Sometimes the elimination of a negative particle generally takes the
word form beyond the framework of forms-idioms: segodnya cho-to ne v dukhe on
(FId, predicate) – kak raz eto v dukhe Srednevekov’ya (preposition, part of the
predicate). The study was conducted on the basis of materials from the corpus
of Russian everyday speech “One Speech Day” (base material) and the oral
subcorpus of the National Corpus of the Russian Language (additional material).
Plithogenic Crisp Hypersoft Topology
Authors: Ahmed Nehmat , Pirbal Osama
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we deal with the plithogenic crisp hypersoft set. This notion is more adaptable than the hypersoft set and more suited to challenges involving decision-making. Consequently, the topology defined by the collection of this type of set will be of great importance. Through this paper, first we redefine the set operations on this type of set (set theoretic). Then, we introduce plithogenic crisp hypersoft topological spaces, which are defined over an initial plithogenic universal set with a fixed set of parameters. The plithogenic crisp hypersoft set considers the degree of appurtenance of the elements with respect to the attribute system. Further, the notions of plithogenic crisp hypersoft open sets, plithogenic crisp hypersoft closed sets, plithogenic crisp hypersoft neighborhood, plithogenic crisp hypersoft limit point, and plithogenic crisp hypersoft subspace are introduced, and their basic properties are investigated. Finally, we introduce the concepts of plithogenic crisp hypersoft closure and plithogenic crisp hypersoft interior.
Osteoporosis en mujeres menopáusicas en América Latina: Revisión sistemática y metaanálisis
Authors: Moyano Brito Edison Gustavo , Solís Nole Ariana Antonella , Zari Morocho Zaida Evelyn
Published: December 2024

La osteoporosis es reconocida como la principal causa de mortalidad prevenible en todo el mundo, principalmente en países de bajos ingresos. Se estima que las bajas tasas de diagnóstico previo de la enfermedad contribuyen al aumento de las complicaciones. Se determina la prevalencia de osteoporosis en mujeres menopáusicas en América Latina, mediante la revisión sistemática de información con metaanálisis de artículos científicos que presentaron una muestra aleatoria de mujeres menopáusicas y que incluyeron estudios epidemiológicos que se publicaron en Scielo, Redalyc, Elseiver y Scopus. Dos investigadores realizaron de forma independiente la selección y el análisis del manuscrito. Para calcular la prevalencia global se utilizó un meta análisis de efectos aleatorios. Para determinar el riesgo de sesgo, los manuscritos fueron evaluados mediante la escala de Newcastle-Ottawa. Después de la selección de 4.292 artículos, se eligieron 21 manuscritos para el análisis cuantitativo. El meta análisis reveló una prevalencia general de osteoporosis de 31% (95% IC: 24% - 38%; I2 = 99%). En países como Chile y México presentaron indicadores menores de prevalencia con valores de 22 % (95 % IC: 13 %-30 %; I2 = 82 %) y 26 % (95 % IC: 15 %-37 %; I2 = 99%), no existiendo un riesgo significativo de sesgo en los manuscritos incluidos en el estudio. Los hallazgos indican que una de cada tres mujeres menopáusicas en América Latina tiene osteoporosis, lo que demuestra que el manejo preventivo de esta enfermedad no ha podido contener la tendencia creciente de casos. Los bajos porcentajes de control de la osteoporosis en mujeres menopáusicas son un reflejo de la falta de tamizaje y diagnóstico de esta enfermedad.

Authors: Reddy Umadevi. R. , R T. Gurubasappa
Published: December 2024

Insurance is a helpful instrument. If one person is providing for his / her own resources to another person and it is no need to consider as insurance. Because, losses are shared and distributed to groups or those who are willing to bear. Insurance agreements must be mutual faith and supporting each other. It has to exchange all type of information to each other. Main objective of this article is to understand the evolution of Indian insurance company. This evolution is classified into three major parts: (1) Pre independence Period or British- India Period (1818 – 1947) (2) Post Independence Period (1947 – 1991) and (3) Liberalization period (1991 – till date). This study is based on the secondary data. This source of data was collected from books, journals, government of reports and websites.

Authors: Ningombam Shreema Devi
Published: December 2024

Religion affects the lives of women tremendously. This can be seen in all societies. In Meitei societies, with the arrival Vaishnava faith along with the establishment of Bengali Brahmins as the religious custodian, women’s lives changed tremendously. The Vaishnava faith is based on devotion and submission to God. With the coming of Brahmins their ideals and ethos too came along. There are three main salient pillars of Brahmanical social order: maintenance of caste purity, lineage purity and family purity. Gradually women’s mobility and sexuality became more confined and more strictly regulated.
LEBOLLO AS A SOCIAL INSTITUTION OF BASOTHO TRIBE
Authors: Pandya Arun , Makateng David Seetsa
Published: December 2024

This paper subscribes to the anthropological and sociological lens of Basotho’s cultural and traditional practice known as Lebollo. In Basotho culture, the institute of Lebollo is referred to as a traditional initiation social institution. The Basotho people mostly found in Sub-Saharan Africa, with Lesotho being their dominant location. In Basotho society, Lebollo is a socially acceptable traditional school attended both by young men and women. However, in a religious context it is a practice that is stigmatized, especially by the Roman Catholic Church.  The main focus of this paper is to explore on the institution of Lebollo as a social institution in the Kingdom of Lesotho drawing attention to its nature. The history of Lebollo is outlined in this paper tracing its origins in the society of Basotho and exploring on the significance of impact on the social structure of Basotho people. The study adopted a qualitative theoretical approach with the use of secondary source of data collected from literature, journals, libraries, books and internet and personal observations. The Kingdom of Lesotho is a Christian dominating country with 90% of Christian population, and with the Catholics dominating. The general conclusion draws a condemnation of Lebollo by the Catholic Church and bringing to light the societal impact and community perception. This paper concludes by putting forward the artistic abilities the initiates are taught to the skills to compose African poems and songs known as ‘mangae’ during their initiation process and social complications, societal impact and community perception of Lebollo.

For this study quantitative approach and survey as the design were adopted. Data was collected with the help of questionnaire developed by Martina Mavrinac, Gordana Brumini, Lidija Bilic-Zulle and Mladen Petrovecki (2010). Two-way ANOVA in this study revealed that faculty of research scholars had a significant impact on attitude towards plagiarism at the university level. However there was no significant impact of gender and interaction of gender and faculty of research scholars on attitude towards plagiarism at the university level. Based on these findings, it is recommended that research scholars should be made aware about plagiarism and ways of avoiding it. University administrators should frame the clear and strict policies for reducing the extent and influence of plagiarism.
BIOMECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF RACE WALKING: A THEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Pharswan Anita , Singh Joseph
Published: December 2024

Race walking, a competitive sport requiring continuous ground contact and strict adherence to technical rules, poses unique biomechanical challenges. This study investigates the lower-limb kinematics, ground reaction forces (GRFs), and flight time in elite race walkers to understand key performance factors. At heel strike, the ankle dorsiflexes, the knee fully extends, and the hip flexes, while the contralateral shoulder and ipsilateral elbow coordinate efficiently. Mid-stance involves knee hyperextension and pelvic adjustments to minimize vertical displacement of the center of mass. Toe-off highlights coordinated plantarflexion, knee flexion, and arm movements. Pelvic rotation and knee straightness play crucial roles in speed and efficiency, though measurement methods yield varying results. Flight time remains minimal, setting race walking apart from running. GRFs display distinct patterns influenced by speed. Insights from this analysis offer valuable information for optimizing performance, refining techniques, and minimizing injury risk in this highly technical and demanding sport

Authors: Jallu Swathi , Sastry D.V.L.N , Nageswararao A V , Bajidvali Shaik
Published: December 2024

Globally, the rates of premature baby morbidity and mortality are increasing year. It is essential to use telemedicine and ambulatory monitoring to give these infants the right care at the right time. The strength of the uterine physiological signals limits the practical applicability. The study suggests a lossless compression strategy that combines Huffman coding with DCT. We estimated DCT components under 2 Hz frequency. A Huffman coder was utilized at the transmitter position to encode the quantized DCT coefficients. The DCT coefficients above 2 Hz are replaced at receiver position with a zero set. The reconstructed signal was obtained by applying inverse DCT. Uterine magnetomyography (MMG) signals were taken from Physionet database and utilized in this investigation. The outcomes show that suggested technique works well for lossless MMG signal compression
STUDY OF BIOLOGICAL CONSTRAINTS IN APIS FLOREA AT KALABURAGI REGION, KARNATAKA
Authors: Joshi Vasavi , Patil Prabhavati
Published: December 2024

The Apis florea, often known as the dwarf honeybee, is the subject of this research, which focuses on the biological restrictions that may be found in the Kalaburagi region of Karnataka. There are a number of biological variables that restrict the population dynamics and productivity of the Apis florea plant, notwithstanding the ecological relevance of the plant in terms of pollination and honey production. The research finds important restrictions, such as the deterioration of habitat, the incidence of illness, competition with other bee species, and environmental stresses such as swings in temperature and the availability of resources. In order to evaluate the health of Apis florea colonies and their behavior, both field surveys and laboratory laboratory analyses were carried out. A considerable decrease in colony strength and foraging efficiency has been observed, which can be linked to environmental changes and disease burdens, as shown by the findings. The findings of this study highlight the critical need for conservation techniques and sustainable management practices in order to improve the resilience of Apis florea populations in the Kalaburagi region.

The utilization of multilevel drip irrigation needs to be supported by adequate planting media so that the provision of irrigation water is optimal. The planting media used practically uses soil mixed with livestock waste compost and cocopeat in polybags. This test aims to determine the ability of drip irrigation water absorption by the planting media in the form of irrigation depth and soil moisture provision and prediction of irrigation application with a certain duration. The study was conducted on a ½” PVC pipe drip irrigation network with a 2 lt/hour emitter, on a land size of 2 m x 4m x 2m with a water source from PDAM water which is stored in a tank with a capacity of 150 liters and a height of 2.5 m. The test data taken includes data on the distribution of irrigation volume, irrigation depth and soil moisture.
The results of the analysis showed that the distribution of drip irrigation depth in cocopeat media ranged from 7.5 cm - 12 cm in 5 minutes, while in rice husks the absorption was around 6.5 cm - 10 cm for the planting media level, with an average Cu of 96% which is very good. The maximum soil moisture that can be provided by four-tiered drip irrigation at a duration of 5 minutes is 30.5% in the early growth phase and at a duration of 10 minutes the average soil moisture is 15%, in the Vegetative phase of plant growth until fruit ripening. So the high irrigation infiltration rate in cocopeat media has the potential to be applied to plants that have long or deep roots, while planting media with rice husks has the potential to be applied to plants with short roots such as vegetables.

Published: December 2024

La papaya (Carica papaya L.) es uno de los frutales con mayor demanda a nivel mundial debido a su agradable sabor y múltiples propiedades farmacológicas. En México su cultivo y consumo están arraigados en la población y tiene importancia económica, social y cultural. Se considera que Mesoamérica es centro de origen y domesticación, lugar donde se encuentra una amplia diversidad genética, la cual ha sido poco estudiada y valorada. El conocimiento sobre los recursos genéticos es indispensable para plantear estrategias de conservación y aprovechamiento en el desarrollo de variedades mejoradas ya que son fuente de genes de resistencia a enfermedades, calidad de fruta, tolerancia a factores abióticos y portainjertos. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del presente trabajo fue explorar la información existente sobre los recursos genéticos de la papaya (Carica papaya L.) en México, en cuanto a su conservación, colecciones biológicas, y el potencial de caracteres sobresalientes para ser incorporados a programas de mejoramiento genético. Para ello, se realizó una revisión sobre estudios de caracterización, diversidad genética y estado de conservación de parientes silvestres, nativos y domesticados de la papaya realizados en México. Existe información valiosa sobre la variación, conservación y dinámica evolutiva de los recursos genéticos de la papaya en México; no obstante, no se cuenta con suficiente información sobre el potencial de los recursos genéticos para su aprovechamiento en el mejoramiento genético. La variación no estudiada y documentada, tiene un alto riesgo de erosión genética y extinción.
AUTONOMIA DOCENTE NA PERSPECTIVA DO CURRÍCULO PAULISTA: LIMITES E POSSIBILIDADES
Authors: Boni Izabel Carolina Carriel , Bimbatti Bianca Rita , Silva Antonio Fernando Gouvêa da
Published: December 2024

A educação vem sendo trabalhada com a mesma lógica mercantil há anos, a qual busca a homogeneização dos educandos, desconsiderando suas vontades, vivências e cultura. Por isso, neste trabalho foi questionado o quão autônomos os educadores conseguem ser em suas funções, para que consigam se desviar desse caminho. Também foi questionado o investimento do Estado em diminuir a autonomia dos educadores por meio de materiais didáticos que o próprio Estado se incumbe de produzir, fornecer e averiguar se está sendo aplicado. Por essa razão, foi feita uma análise do Currículo Paulista, material utilizado em toda a rede estadual do Estado de São Paulo, com a finalidade de atender seus objetivos. Para isso, foi feita uma análise documental baseada no método qualitativo de pesquisa, por meio de três parâmetros baseados nas concepções freireanas de educação, que consistem no protagonismo epistemológico, na autoria do material didático e na liberdade metodológica. Assim, foi possível destacar como o Currículo Paulista cumpre seu papel de manutenção da ideologia neoliberal que molda o Estado de São Paulo há anos, visando formar sujeitos prontos para o mercado de trabalho já docilizados e conformados com as injustiças sociais.
A DIMENSÃO EDUCATIVA NA PRODUÇÃO DA PESQUISA: CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA PERSPECTIVA FREIRIANA PARA A CONSTRUÇÃO DE CONHECIMENTO

Published: December 2024

O contexto sociocultural da América Latina e Caribe é historicamente marcado pela tradição colonial inscrita nas dimensões epistemológicas e ontológicas através do tempo. Na atual conjuntura, em meio aos contraditórios fenômenos políticos e sociais, percebe-se que a “cultura do silêncio” ainda é parte constituinte da realidade social, estendendo-se à forma como o conhecimento é produzido dentro de limites hierárquicos e dualistas, muitas vezes, encobertos pelos métodos ocidentais medidores do grau de legitimidade da ação de fazer pesquisa. Diante disso, o presente artigo parte dos estudos freirianos para refletir a dimensão educativa nas práticas de pesquisa, entendendo que, na medida que pesquisamos, participamos de um processo coletivo, de conscientização de si e do mundo. Para isso, são referenciadas as experiências dos Círculos Epistemológicos, apresentados por Romão et al. (2006), na intenção de sulear a ação pesquisadora, repensar a forma como a vemos e produzimos, propor o desprendimento e a abertura de fissuras no campo epistêmico, reconhecendo a potência da linguagem visual neste processo. Entende-se que não existem “donos” do saber na ação de fazer pesquisa, mas, sim, companheiros de pronúncia do mundo, sujeitos inconclusos, comprometidos em construir novos sentidos e significados à realidade, de forma relacional e dialógica.
“OBRIGADÍSSIMO, SÃO TOMÉ”: REVERBERAÇÕES NA AMÉRICA LATINA DA PARTICIPAÇÃO DE PAULO FREIRE EM SÃO TOMÉ E PRÍNCIPE
Authors: Reibnitz Cecília de Sousa , Paiva Jane
Published: December 2024

A experiência de Paulo Freire na participação das campanhas de alfabetização de São Tomé e Príncipe possuiu diferentes repercussões na América Latina. Alguns educadores deste continente passaram pelo arquipélago africano e afirmaram ter sido aquela uma importante referência para outras que colaborariam depois em terras latino-americanas – foi o caso do mexicano Arturo Ornelas e do chileno Antonio Faundez. Por outro lado, um dos escritos de Paulo Freire em São Tomé e Príncipe teve ao menos duas edições deste lado do mundo: no Equador e no México. Trata-se das Cartas aos animadores e às animadoras culturais, publicadas originalmente como manuscrito nas ilhas em 1978. Tal documento é bastante interessante por se dedicar, com profundidade, sobre o funcionamento dos Círculos de Cultura em perspectiva aplicada a respeito do uso dos Cadernos de Cultura Popular e da atuação de alfabetizadores junto a alfabetizandos. Nas edições dos livros em países latino-americanos, analisa-se e compara-se o trabalho santomense com outras experiências locais. Trataram-se, portanto de teorias, práticas e pessoas que circularam, fisicamente ou não, entre distintas e distantes comunidades, contribuindo para a alfabetização de adultos por meio de uma concepção libertadora.

O estudo da Anatomia Humana é a base da formação médica, pois a identificação das estruturas do corpo humano, bem como a compreensão das relações entre os sistemas, é essencial para o desenvolvimento de um raciocínio clínico e cirúrgico. No entanto, a imensa quantidade de conteúdo envolvido requer dos discentes uma notável capacidade de memorização e aprendizagem. Conscientes deste desafio, a monitoria de Anatomia Humana, de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior, dedicou-se à criação de atividades que visam otimizar o aprendizado dos discentes. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a aplicação de simulados dos conteúdos de Anatomia como ferramenta de revisão e aprendizagem para os discentes do primeiro e segundo semestres do curso de Medicina. Neste contexto, foram avaliadas a importância e as condições de realização dos simulados práticos como meio de revisão para as avaliações e se houve contribuição para a redução da ansiedade dos estudantes antes da aplicação da prova prática. Para a realização do simulado, os discentes foram divididos em quatro grupos de 10 discentes. Para cada grupo foi cronometrado um tempo de 20 minutos no interior do laboratório. Foram dispostas peças anatômicas em 10 bancadas do laboratório, com alfinetes nas estruturas para serem identificadas. O tempo para respondê-las foi de dois minutos em cada bancada. Um questionário composto por dez perguntas foi aplicado a 65 discentes, incluindo o primeiro e segundo semestres do curso de Medicina, garantindo a preservação da identidade dos participantes. Os resultados revelaram que os simulados práticos desempenharam um papel significativo ao auxiliar os discentes na revisão dos conteúdos ministrados nas aulas teóricas e práticas. A maioria dos participantes (95,3%) considerou a elaboração dos simulados fundamental e necessária para a consolidação de seus conhecimentos. Portanto, é fundamental que ferramentas sejam continuamente incentivadas e aprimoradas, com o propósito de fornecer aos futuros profissionais da área de saúde uma aprendizagem significativa para sua prática profissional e assegurar um atendimento de qualidade aos
pacientes.

Improving educational and learning experiences requires the incorporation of technology for communication and information (ICT) into language instruction. However, there is a gap regarding how language instructors in higher education, particularly in Kazakhstan, engage with ICT in their teaching practices. This study explores the reasons for ICT adoption among language instructors in the Kazakhstani higher education system, offering insights into their experiences and attitudes towards technology integration. The mixed-methods approach used in the study combines quantitative data from a questionnaire survey with qualitative insights from in-depth interviews. It constructs an ecological framework of ICT adoption by combining descriptive, exploratory, and explanatory research approaches. The model offers a grounded explanation of the factors influencing ICT usage, derived from both top-down institutional pressures and bottom-up individual attitudes. The results of the study reveal that language lecturers primarily use ICT for routine tasks, such as organizing classes and preparing instructional materials. The study highlights how crucial it is to take instructors' collective viewpoints into account when deciding on tactics that encourage or discourage the use of information and communication technologies.  The study expands to the wealth of knowledge on ICT use by instructors of foreign languages in Kazakhstan's university system and highlights the significance of considering lecturers' perspectives collectively when making decisions about ICT use policies.

This article explores the role of precedent phenomena in media texts. The study's primary goal and innovation lie in analyzing how universal precedent phenomena – such as Stockholm Syndrome, Achilles' Heel – are used in contemporary Kazakh, Russian, and English media. A key focus is on how these phenomena are perceived by students. To conduct the research, we utilized materials from mass media and online sources from Kazakhstan, Russia, and the USA. We employed contextual analysis, generalization, and comparative and descriptive methods to systematize the data. Google Forms served as a research tool, and a custom Python program was developed for linguistic analysis and to create a comprehensive database of precedent phenomena across these three languages. The study revealed how well-known concepts like “Stockholm Syndrome”, "Achilles' Heel” are represented in media texts across the three languages. It also assessed students' recognition and acceptance of these phenomena. Additionally, we developed a detailed characterization of 55 universal and national precedent phenomena in English, Russian, and Kazakh. Examples include "Romeo and Juliet”, "Red Rose”, "Phoenix”, "White Rabbit”, "Pandora's Box”, "Baba Yaga”, "Korkyt Ata”, and "Asan Kaigy”. This information was integrated into a Python program that automatically identifies these phenomena within texts and provides descriptions in all three languages. The database will continue to grow, aiding in the identification of precedent phenomena in media content and helping readers quickly understand their specific usage.
A Systematic Review of Critical Thinking Development in Information and Communication Technology-Supported English as a Foreign Language Teaching from 2015 to 2024
Authors: Wei Jie , Li He
Published: December 2024

Critical thinking is an essential skill for students in the 21st century and plays a pivotal role in language education. With the rapid advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education has significantly benefited from tools that support the development of critical thinking. While existing research has examined the impact of ICT on critical thinking in EFL classrooms, there is a lack of systematic reviews focusing specifically on the role of ICT tools in enhancing critical thinking within EFL teaching. This systematic review aims to address that gap by examining recent advancements and the effectiveness of ICT tools used in EFL instruction to foster critical thinking from 2015 to 2024, with a focus on tools such as digital mapping, WebQuest, and online games. The findings indicate that communicative, informative, and constructive ICT tools are widely used in EFL classrooms and are particularly effective in enhancing analysis, evaluation, and inference skills. This study provides an in-depth analysis of how these technologies are currently applied in EFL education to foster critical thinking skills. Additionally, the study also provides guidance for future research, highlighting the need to expand the use of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR), and explore their integration into diverse EFL contexts to maximize their potential in promoting critical thinking.
A Cognitive Diagnostic Model of Reading Ability based on China’s Standards of English Language Ability

Published: December 2024

Traditional English reading assessments in China typically provide a single summative score, without revealing the extent to which students have mastered different aspects of reading comprehension. Cognitive Diagnostic Models (CDMs), as a type of multidimensional latent trait model, offer diagnostic insights by presenting examinees' proficiency levels across a set of predefined skills. Cognitive diagnostic assessments based on these models can deliver multidimensional, fine-grained evaluation results, thus overcoming the limitations of traditional unidimensional score-based assessments. Based on the China's Standards of English Language Ability (CSE), this study constructs a cognitive diagnostic assessment model for English reading. Using college general English reading test papers and the G-DINA model, the English reading abilities of 200 students were diagnosed, and personalized performance reports were generated. A questionnaire survey was conducted to gather students' evaluations and suggestions regarding the feedback reports. The results indicate that the cognitive diagnostic model for English reading, constructed according to the CSE, exhibits good model fit and high diagnostic reliability. The personalized performance reports visually and comprehensively present the strengths and weaknesses of the test takers' reading abilities, providing valuable guidance for students' future remedial learning. This study utilizes a multidimensional assessment approach based on cognitive diagnostic models to evaluate the English reading abilities of Chinese university students, effectively addressing the limitations of traditional assessment methods that typically offer only a single score.
Identifying Key Linguistic Variables of Second Language Speaking Proficiency Using Principal Component Analysis
Authors: Park Shinjae
Published: December 2024

This study conducted principal component analysis (PCA) to identify key linguistic factors distinguishing the speaking proficiency levels of Korean learners grouped by CEFR classifications. The PCA primarily focused on fluency, lexis, and complexity, with particular emphasis on syntactic complexity. The analysis revealed that PC1 explained the largest variance (31.6%) in proficiency levels, with syntactic complexity—measured as complex nominals per T-unit (CNT)—emerging as the most significant differentiating factor. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) confirmed statistically significant differences in CNT across proficiency levels, underscoring its critical role in evaluating grammatical ability. Fluency variables, such as articulation rate, and lexis variables, including lexical diversity, although statistically non-significant, provided valuable insights into learners’ broader proficiency development. The results also indicated that higher proficiency levels were associated with greater use of syntactically complex structures, highlighting the importance of grammatical sophistication in second-language speech. Additionally, learners at lower proficiency levels relied more on simple sentence constructions, which suggests a gradual progression in syntactic complexity as proficiency increases. These findings emphasize the pivotal role of syntactic complexity in assessing speaking proficiency and suggest that incorporating such measures into language evaluation frameworks could provide a more comprehensive and nuanced reflection of learners’ linguistic development. This, in turn, could facilitate the design of targeted instructional strategies and assessments that align more closely with learners’ developmental trajectories, addressing specific gaps in their linguistic skills.

Parental characteristics play an important role in students’ academic performance. These factors are usually measured by education, employment-status and the income of an individual to determine an individual’s livelihood. The study objective was to establish parental socio-cultural practices that influence students’ academic performance in Public Day Secondary schools in Teso North Sub- County. A cross-sectional survey was carried out in Teso North Sub-County, Busia County, Kenya. Both primary and secondary data was collected. The tools for primary data included questionnaire, interview schedules and Focus Group Discussions while secondary data was collected using document analysis guide. The target population was 4,238 who included students, parent representatives, principals, form four class teachers and Sub-County director of education; with a sample size of 351. Purposive, proportionate and simple random sampling techniques were employed. Validity was checked through consultation with experts and reliability coefficient of 0.788 was established. Piloting was done in the neighboring Teso South Sub-County because it possessed similar characteristics as Teso North Sub- County. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze data using SPSS version 25 and presented in tables, charts and graphs. The study identified initiation rites, property rights, wife inheritance and polygamy as having negative influence on academic performance. These socio-cultural practices contributed to about 82.5% of student achievements in Busia County. The study recommends stake holders in education to create awareness to parents on the negative effects of socio-cultural practices that affect academic performance and find interventions to reverse the declining trends in students’ performance in National Examinations.
