Authors: Yao Bo , Wu Chengzhen , Zhang Xing , Yao Junjie , Xue Jianchao , Zhao Yu , Li Ting , Pu Jiangbo
Published: April 2024

This study explores the important role of assessing force levels in accurately controlling upper limb movements in human–computer interfaces. It uses a new method that combines entropy to improve the recognition of force levels. This research aims to differentiate between different levels of isometric contraction forces using electroencephalogram (EEG) signal analysis. It integrates eight different entropy measures: power spectrum entropy (PSE), singular spectrum entropy (SSE), logarithmic energy entropy (LEE), approximation entropy (AE), sample entropy (SE), fuzzy entropy (FE), alignment entropy (PE), and envelope entropy (EE). The findings emphasize two important advances: first, including a wide range of entropy features significantly improves classification efficiency; second, the fusion entropy method shows exceptional accuracy in classifying isometric contraction forces. It achieves an accuracy rate of 91.73% in distinguishing between 15% and 60% maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) forces, along with 69.59% accuracy in identifying variations across 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60% MVC. These results illuminate the efficacy of employing fusion entropy in EEG signal analysis for isometric contraction detection, heralding new opportunities for advancing motor control and facilitating fine motor movements through sophisticated human–computer interface technologies.
Empowering Teachers: Self-Regulated Learning Strategies for Sustainable Professional Development in Initial Teacher Education at Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Rodriguez-Gomez David , Muñoz-Moreno José Luís , Ion Georgeta
Published: April 2024

Promoting self-regulated learning (SRL) skills among teachers has emerged as a sustainable professional-learning approach, contributing not only to equip teachers with tools for lifelong learning and professional growth but also to the overall quality of the educational system. Recognising teachers as pivotal agents in this endeavour, this study addresses the under-researched area of promoting SRL skills during initial teacher education at higher education institutions. This study examines factors promoting key SRL strategies among 546 Catalan pre-service teachers. Controlling for students’ sociodemographic information, multiple regression analyses are used to make inferential judgments and test the separate effects of the independent variables. The findings emphasise the importance of maintaining a proactive attitude that does not preclude them from seeking help when needed, as well as equipping pre-service teachers with the ability to identify the required academic resources and to maintain their engagement and motivation for self-directed learning. Through rigorous analysis, this study not only provides valuable insights into the factors shaping SRL skills but also highlights the broader sustainability narrative within education. Moreover, the study advocates equipping pre-service teachers with the skills to identify necessary academic resources, promoting resource efficiency, and fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation.
An Integrated Model of the Sustainable Consumer
Authors: Phan-Le Nhat Tram , Brennan Linda , Parker Lukas
Published: April 2024

The term ‘sustainable consumer’ (SC) is used across various knowledge domains, from sustainable consumption, green marketing, sustainability, and social change to social marketing for sustainability issues. However, the term SC lacks a precise definition, which leads to the inaccurate evaluation and measurement of the impact of green marketing or social marketing campaigns on consumption—sustainable or otherwise. This paper develops a framework to clarify the term ‘sustainable consumer’ to assist both scholars and practitioners. The application of systems thinking was applied to the extant literature to theorise the SC. This conceptual paper provides a new framework for theorising SCs: the integrated model of the sustainable consumer (ISMC). This framework emphasises the interconnected relationships of influences within the SC profile to assist scholars in examining SCs within these systems with precision. We contend that, to promote and maintain the desired sustainable consumption for long-term effects, researchers and practitioners should consider the impact not only of the socio-psycho-demographic characteristics but also the connection of the person to the environment and their community, in addition to their worldviews. The framework presented here challenges linear models by proposing a nested, dynamic structure that recognizes the interconnected influences within the sustainable consumer’s ecosystem. The framework also enables a targeted intervention design according to the layer and element and permits more precise evaluations of behaviour change campaigns’ effectiveness.
How Environmental Policy Stringency, Foreign Direct Investment, and Eco-Innovation Supplement the Energy Transition: New Evidence from NICs
Authors: Azam Anam
Published: April 2024

Several researchers have studied the environmental policy stringency and ecological innovation regarding CO2 emissions and renewable energy consumption; however, the impact of environmental policy stringency, technological innovation, FDI, and ecological innovation on energy transition has not been studied in the case of NICs. For this purpose, panel quantile regression models are applied in the context of NICs from 2000 to 2021. Our empirical results show that the effect of foreign direct investment is positive and statistically significant on energy transition. On the other hand the variables environmental policy stringency, eco-innovation, and ICT-trade have an inverse effect on energy transition. Therefore, the findings of the study also provide policy implications that indicate NICs need to optimize their trade structure and re-innovate the latest innovation spillovers, and strict environmental policies should be introduced to facilitate energy transition in NICs.
Generative AI for Customizable Learning Experiences
Authors: Pesovski Ivica , Santos Ricardo , Henriques Roberto , Trajkovik Vladimir
Published: April 2024

The introduction of accessible generative artificial intelligence opens promising opportunities for the implementation of personalized learning methods in any educational environment. Personalized learning has been conceptualized for a long time, but it has only recently become realistic and truly achievable. In this paper, we propose an affordable and sustainable approach toward personalizing learning materials as part of the complete educational process. We have created a tool within a pre-existing learning management system at a software engineering college that automatically generates learning materials based on the learning outcomes provided by the professor for a particular class. The learning materials were composed in three distinct styles, the initial one being the traditional professor style and the other two variations adopting a pop-culture influence, namely Batman and Wednesday Addams. Each lesson, besides being delivered in three different formats, contained automatically generated multiple-choice questions that students could use to check their progress. This paper contains complete instructions for developing such a tool with the help of large language models using OpenAI’s API and an analysis of the preliminary experiment of its usage performed with the help of 20 college students studying software engineering at a European university. Participation in the study was optional and on voluntary basis. Each student’s tool usage was quantified, and two questionnaires were conducted: one immediately after subject completion and another 6 months later to assess both immediate and long-term effects, perceptions, and preferences. The results indicate that students found the multiple variants of the learning materials really engaging. While predominantly utilizing the traditional variant of the learning materials, they found this approach inspiring, would recommend it to other students, and would like to see it more in classes. The most popular feature were the automatically generated quiz-style tests that they used to assess their understanding. Preliminary evidence suggests that the use of various versions of learning materials leads to an increase in students’ study time, especially for students who have not mastered the topic otherwise. The study’s small sample size of 20 students restricts its ability to generalize its findings, but its results provide useful early insights and lay the groundwork for future research on AI-supported educational strategies.
A K-Additive Fuzzy Logic Approach for Optimizing FCS Sizing and Enhanced User Satisfaction
Authors: Guler Nivine , Ben Hazem Zied
Published: April 2024

Traditional electric vehicle (EV) charging methods can lead to extended waiting times for users, resulting in decreased travel efficiency and user satisfaction, therefore impacting overall convenience. Moreover, a limited number of charging stations can lead to congestion, exacerbating waiting times, while an excessive number of stations incurs inefficient costs and reduces utilization. While prior research has primarily focused on sizing and allocating charging stations to enhance user performance, there has been comparatively less emphasis on optimizing waiting times and determining the optimal number of charging stations, which is crucial from the EV user’s perspective. This study introduces a K-additive fuzzy logic algorithm to predict the average waiting time and the optimal number of charging stations. The K-additive fuzzy inference system (K-FIS) defines membership functions, expert rules, and a formulation for achieving the optimal solution. The proposed approach integrates uncertain and independent input parameters into weighted control variables, addressing the objective function to optimize EV waiting times and costs represented by the number of charging stations. The scheme utilizes both Type 1 and Type 2 membership functions, offering a detailed comparison. To validate its efficiency, the proposed scheme undergoes a comparative study against related state-of-the-art approaches.
MLD Modeling and MPC-Based Energy Management Strategy for Hydrogen Fuel Cell/Supercapacitor Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Authors: Luo Wenguang , Zhang Guangyin , Zou Ke , Lin Cuixia
Published: April 2024

Energy management strategies for hydrogen fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEVs) are a key factor in achieving real-time vehicle energy optimization control, vehicle driving economy, and fuel cell durability. In this paper, for an FCHEV equipped with a fuel cell and supercapacitor, the quantitative information, logic rules, and operational constraints are transformed into linear integer inequalities according to its different operating modes, and the Hysdel language is used to establish its mixed logic dynamic model (MLD). Then, the energy management strategy based on model predictive control (MPC) is developed using the MLD model as the prediction model and the equivalent hydrogen consumption and the performance degradation of the fuel cell as the optimization performance indexes. Finally, under the World Light Vehicle Test Cycle, a joint simulation was carried out with Advisor and Simulink to verify the proposed strategy’s superiority by comparing it with the power following control strategy (PFCS) and the compound fuzzy control strategy (CFCS). The results show that the strategy not only ensures real-time FCHEV energy control, but also reduces hydrogen consumption by 10.98% and 1.98% and the number of start/stop times of a fuel cell by six and four, compared to PFCS and CFCS, respectively, which improves the economy of the whole vehicle as well as the durability of the fuel cell.

Published: April 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os gastos do Sistema Único de Saúde Pública (SUS) no estado do Tocantins para tratar as enfermidades da população contaminada por agrotóxicos no período de 2012 a 2018. A pesquisa se caracteriza como bibliográfica com método descritivo-exploratório e explicativo, acompanhado pela análise documental. Todos os dados explanados e analisados conforme a regionalização da saúde no Tocantins. As informações sobre intoxicações agudas foram obtidas pelo banco de dados Sinan Net. Os custos esperados com a intoxicação foram calculados a partir da soma das despesas médicas hospitalares e da despesa gasta com a vigilância. Os resultados demonstram que as notificações se concentraram em dois municípios de Palmas e Araguaína, tal fato pode ser explicado devido a estas cidades serem referências com hospitais e centro de atendimento em saúde da região. Entre o período de 2012 a 2018 houve um crescimento nas incidências anuais de intoxicação aguda no estado, passando de 230 casos em 2012 para 355 casos em 2018. Em média no estado do Tocantins são infectadas por agrotóxicos cerca de 290 pessoas por ano. O valor gasto pelo estado do Tocantins foi de aproximadamente R$ 256.070,00 por ano, este valor foi composto por: custo ambulatorial, custo hospitalar e custo preventivo. Para concluir os resultados deste trabalho demonstram que o uso indiscriminado dos agrotóxicos na produção agrícola tocantinense tem custos sociais muito além dos que foram estimados.

Published: April 2024

Background

Cystitis is commonly treated with antibiotics, although non-antibiotic options could be considered for healthy non-pregnant women. Shared decision making (SDM) can be used in cystitis management to discuss the various treatment options but is not frequently applied in general practice.

Aim

To identify barriers and facilitators for applying SDM in cystitis management in general practice.

Design & setting

Qualitative explorative research in general practice with healthcare professionals (HCPs; GPs and GP assistants) and healthy non-pregnant women with a recent history of cystitis (patients).

Method

Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted between May and October 2022. We applied a combination of thematic and framework analysis.

Results

Ten GPs, seven GP assistants, and 15 patients were interviewed. We identified the following three main barriers and one key facilitator: (1) applying SDM is deemed inefficient; (2) HCPs assume that patients expect antibiotic treatment and some HCPs consider non-antibiotic treatment inferior; (3) patients are largely unaware of the various non-antibiotic treatment options for cystitis; and (4) HCPs recognise some benefits of applying SDM in cystitis management, including reduced antibiotic use and improved patient empowerment, and patients appreciate involvement in treatment decisions, but preferences for SDM vary.

Conclusion

SDM is infrequently applied in cystitis treatment in general practice owing to the current focus on efficient cystitis management that omits patient contact, HCPs’ perceptions, and patient unawareness. Nevertheless, both HCPs and patients recognise the long-term benefits of applying SDM in cystitis management. Our findings facilitate the development of tailored interventions to increase the application of SDM, which should be co-created with HCPs and patients, and fit into the current efficient cystitis management.
Activity of light industry in Russia in the conditions of mobilization events in the field of economy

Published: April 2024

The purpose of the article is to establish the principles of organizing the light industry and adjacent sectors of the Russian economy in the context of mobilization activities in the economy, in order to ensure the uninterrupted supply of products to meet the needs of the troops within the framework of the state order. Methods. The industry analysis is carried out under two main assumptions: a) the industry should be reformed, on the terms of public-private mobilization partnership (PPMP); b) relations between the light industry and related economic sectors should be built on the terms of an inter-industry syndicate (cluster, strategic alliance). The assessment of the stability of companies in the light industry sector is carried out on the basis of a matrix aggregate calculator (MAC). The return on equity of companies is analyzed using the DuPont formula. Results. Based on the simulation results, it is shown that the industry maintains economic stability provided that three basic conditions are met: a) it maintains an irreducible net profitability at the level of 5–7 %; b) forms an irreducible turnover of its assets at the level of 1.5 times a year; c) is credited by the state under the supplier’s factoring scheme, which gives a level of financial leverage of about 1.6. All this together should lead to a return on industry equity (ROE) of about 20 % per annum, which guarantees a rapid attraction of private capital to the industry, with the issuance of additional state guarantees for capital protection (a real option for business). Discussion. A more detailed modeling of sectoral economic stability requires the correct selection of modeling factors by groups: Threats, Opportunities, BSC, Risks, Chances, Decisions. A special modeling of the industry corporate culture is needed, using the approaches of related specialties. Conclusion. The GFMP principle guarantees the sustainable functioning of the Russian economy in the conditions of a period of maximum and medium levels of response and high readiness. The conventional wisdom that it is possible to ensure the sovereignty of the country by keeping the peacetime economy in the rear is untenable.
High Rate Water Clarification Technology
Authors: Polasek P. , Wantenaar C. J.
Published: April 2024

At present the formation of flocculent suspension and its gravity separation are lengthy processes varying between 3 and 4.5 hours. Consequently this results in high capital costs. Therefore, reconsideration of the kinetics of formation of the flocculent suspension and its effect on the gravity separation of formed suspension was needed. This reconsideration revealed that an unconventional, open-minded thinking was required to develop a new water purification technology capable of solving this problem. This technology will most likely be in direct disagreement with the traditional way of thinking in water purification engineering. The reconsideration project also revealed that the current method for the use of water soluble polymers results in a deterioration of the purified water quality and detrimentally affects the operation of filters. Therefore the development of a method for using these polymers, free of side effects, is also essential. A new technology, the High Rate Clarification Technology, combining two processes developed for addressing the above shortcomings, was developed.
Effect of Learning-by-Teaching on Learners’ Metacognitive Judgments
Authors:   INSTITUTE FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH, Kim Yundeok , Kim Jihye , Sung Juyeon , Lee Hee Seung
Published: April 2024

The present study investigated the effect of learning-by-teaching on learners' metacognitive judgments and examined how beneficial effects of teaching changed depending on whether or not retrieval practice was evoked during teaching. Undergraduate students studied science passages through two learning phases. In the first phase participants read the passage and in the second phase they either restudied them (control), created a video lecture with their notes (teaching without retrieval practice; TnRP), or taught without any materials (teaching with retrieval practice; TRP). Following each phase, they made metacognitive judgments regarding their comprehension of the passages, and then took a final test, which included retention and inference questions. The results showed that, despite the non-significant difference in the final test performance, there were significant differences in the judgments of learning (JOLs) across the three conditions. After the second learning phase, JOLs increased in the control group, remained unchanged in the TnRP group, and decreased in the TRP group, compared to their initial JOLs. As a result, the TRP group showed significantly lower levels of metacognitive bias and higher metacomprehension accuracy compared to the other groups. Our findings suggest that learning-by-teaching can mitigate overconfidence in learners and enhance metacomprehension accuracy, particularly when teaching is accompanied by retrieval practice.
Silver Nanoparticles as Germination and Growth Promoters in Zucchini (Cucurbita

Authors: Vargas-Solano Zaira
Published: April 2024

Nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted a lot of attention due to their potential
applications in biology, solar cells, and optoelectronic devices including
cosmetics, biomedical science, optical devices, pharmaceutic genes
(Manesh et al., 2010). Unlike other synthesis options, when obtaining
nanoparticles by Green Chemistry, a plant extract is used as a reducing
agent, often said extract can come from vegetable residues called
lignocellulosic. Recent investigations have evidenced the relationship
between vegetable development and nanostructured materials,
identifying that a certain number of them can act as promoters of
germination, seedling growth and the development of complete plants,
positioning themselves as an alternative to improve agricultural
production (Lopez, 2022). Therefore, the objective of this study is to
develop a sustainable proposal for the production of silver nanoparticles
(Np's Ag) and their application as promoters of the germination of
zucchini (Cucurbita pepo), maize (Zea mays) and barley (Hordeum
vulgare) crops in which their production, consumption and economic
impact are of great importance for the Estado de México State;
considering this methodological proposal as an alternative for
development in agribusiness, through Bio and nanotechnological
processing of products with industrial value.

Research on Export Sophistication, Efficiency, and Potential of Agriculture Product Trade between South Korea and RCEP Countries: Based on the Stochastic Frontier Gravity Model
Authors:   Korea Trade Research Association, f Zhe Ma , Ji Seong-Tae , Li Jing-Suo
Published: April 2024

Purpose - This study examines the structure of agricultural export sophistication, export efficiency, and the potential of South Korea’s agricultural products for Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) countries. Design/Methodology – This study evaluates the agricultural export sophistication of RCEP countries and investigate export sophistication’s effects on the efficiency and potential of South Korea’s agricultural exports to RCEP countries. To this end, we construct a stochastic frontier gravity model (SFGM) based on panel data of agricultural product trade and other factors that impact agricultural imports and exports between South Korea and 36 countries from 2001 to 2020. Using this “one-step method” trade inefficiency model, we evaluate the impact of export sophistication on export efficiency and potential and calculate trade efficiency and potential. Findings – The results reveal a growing trend in the structure of global and RCEP countries’ agricultural export sophistication where the export sophistication of the target countries positively impacts Korea’s agricultural exports to those nations. In addition, RCEP member countries accounted for 50% of the top ten countries in the 2020 trade efficiency ranking, and the average trade efficiency of RCEP member countries show an upward trend. Originality/value - South Korea is geographically close to most RCEP countries, which facilitates agricultural trade. Moreover, there are significant differences in climate conditions and resource endowments between South Korea and most RCEP countries, providing opportunities for expanding agricultural trade with these nations. This study contributes to the extant literature by further exploring the trade efficiency and potential of Korea’s agricultural exports to RCEP countries by considering export sophistication as an important potential factor affecting the competitiveness of Korea’s agricultural exports and analyzing the relationship between the structure of export sophistication and the trade efficiency of Korea’s agricultural product exports to RCEP members.

Published: April 2024

Malaysia has been a successful developing country and is establishing itself as a developed nation, focusing on a strong economy and a high living standard. Malaysia has also enhanced its digital technology, encompassing everything from robotics to artificial intelligence. Since 96.8 % of Malaysia’s total population of 34 million is connected to the internet and the use of mobile internet users in Malaysia is forecasted to increase between 2.6 million users by 2028, the use of mobile banking will also continue to grow, especially in rural parts of Malaysia. Mobile banking will help rural communities increase their financial accessibility and push the country toward digitalization. Based on a review of past literature, this study aimed to investigate the possible relationships that may exist between variables such as subjective norm, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and perceived COVID-19 risk on behavioral intention to use mobile banking among Malaysian rural residents. Another goal of the study was to discuss the implications of the research findings that will benefit policy makers. A total of 200 respondents answered the questionnaire distributed to residents of Kuala Selangor, Malaysia. The results of this study found that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and perceived COVID-19 risk had significant positive relationships with behavioral intention to use mobile banking. The scientific novelty of this research is that the subjective norm was insignificant.

Fortyfikacje nowożytne tworzyły systemy budowli ziemnych oraz szerokich fos. Ich powierzchnia przekraczała często powierzchnia otoczonego nimi miasta. Utrata znaczenia obronnego oraz tendencje wzrostu terytorialnego miast spowodowały konieczność zmiany funkcji fortyfikacji. W XIX i XX w. były one rozbierane, a ich tereny zabudowywane lub też przekształcane w tereny publiczne. Ich zagospodarowania i konserwacja sprawiają jednak problemy z powodu charakterystyki technicznej oraz konfliktów interesów ekonomicznych, prawno-administracyjnych, urbanistycznych, krajobrazowych, ekologicznych.
The heart of public interventions in historic cities: reflections on the HRIDAY scheme
Authors: Kothari Swapna , Thakur Shivangi
Published: April 2024

This article discusses two specific implementations from the Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana, also known as the HRIDAY scheme in India, specifically how they address public spaces in historical cities. HRIDAY (2014-2019) was formulated to provide holistic development and improve infrastructure, mainly in pilgrim towns, under the Ministry of Urban Development, now the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA). The scheme took into consideration the complexity of dealing with entire historic cities. This is especially challenging for local urban bodies focused primarily on the core of a city, i.e. its historic centre. The goal was to revitalise the city’s unique character by “encouraging the development of an aesthetically appealing, accessible, informative and secure environment” (MOUD 2015). However, while the scheme ended, there are still many historic towns and cities across the country that could benefit from reflections and insights from already executed projects. To undertake any further development in line with the scheme, it is imperative to understand its application, specifically in terms of public space typology. HRIDAY primarily addressed the need to foster cultural identity by improving public infrastructure and promoting tourism. The article addresses how public chowks (squares) and market streets benefited from the scheme, basing on secondary sources about two selected cities. Discussion covers additions of sanitation and public conveniences, development of venues for cultural events in existing public space and interventions such as creation of interpretation centres and improvement of paths. These analyses serve as the basis for the formulation of guidelines and theories that could inform future heritage development in sensitive urban spaces in cities and towns across India.
Intangible values and touristification of public spaces in the ancient centre of Naples (Italy)
Authors: Gagliardi Rita
Published: April 2024

The identity of the ancient city centre of Naples has been historically founded on the co-existence of tangible and intangible values underpinning a compact fabric of centuries-old architectural and urban stratifications. Their lasting character and presence in public spaces contributes to the image of Naples as an authentic and multi-layered city, recognized as Historic Urban Landscape and listed as a World Heritage Site twenty-eight years later. At the same time, preservation of these values poses a challenge with regard to the change of roles in some public spaces due to material, economic and social pressure, particularly touristification. This cyclical process determined by physical transformations of the urban configuration and new functional characterization of “overtouristic” areas is especially affecting public spaces located along the main tourist routes in the ancient centre, for example the churchyard of Santa Chiara. The article aims to reflect on the prospects of these areas, examining the role played by touristification in the conservation of their identity as crucial in the management of historic urban preservation. This is supplemented with more general reflections on significant spaces such as churchyards and gardens, which are turned into public areas, shaping both cities and their citizens, with the aim to define the right balance between the reasons behind development and the conservation of heritage and authenticity.
Changing the game: the case of cultural landscapes
Authors: Jacques David
Published: April 2024

There are a number of thoughtful analyses on how the World Heritage Convention has progressed, notably by Jukka Jokelhito, and by Christina Cameron and Mechtild Rössler. They explain the principles on which the World Heritage Convention was based. It concerns the common heritage of the world’s most significant places – we would all be poorer if we lost them.
This paper concerns the ideas we adopt in our dealings on landscape. The subject of cultural landscapes has been a latecomer in World Heritage terms. It is not a closely defined subject like, say, ecclesiastical architecture, and it has connections to many other subjects. Adjacent to many, it is defined by none. It still occupies a slightly detached column at the edge of the world heritage spreadsheet.
It is not this paper’s intention to claim that the cultural landscapes community has been the initiator of fundamental ideas, but it has been touched by many from within and outside the World Heritage system, and in some cases has been instrumental in bringing about fresh thinking and change.
Lexical Bundles in the Argumentative Essays of Vietnamese and American Student Writers
Authors:   The English Teathers Association in Korea, Parent Kevin
Published: April 2024

This study examines lexical bundles used in argumentative writings by Vietnamese EFL university students-L2 learners and American university students-L1 learners to see how two groups use bundles and identify problems which L2 learners face. Two corpora including writings by L2 and L1 learners are collected. By using Biber et al.’s structural taxonomy (1999, 2004) and Hyland’s functional framework (2008a), we analyse the structures and functions of the four-word bundles used by the two group writings to see any differences. Compared with L1 learners, L2 learners use a wider range of bundles. Regarding structures, L2 learners overuse VP-based bundles, while L1 learners use VP, NP and PP-based bundles flexibly. For functions, L1 learners prefer to use participant-oriented bundles, while L2 learners tend to employ researchoriented bundles. The text-oriented bundles are the least commonly occurring ones in the two groups’ essays. To understand how L2 learners overuse bundles in their writings, a qualitative method is used to examine each essay. Some underlying explanations for the overuse might be side effects of teaching and lack of knowledge of the bundle. A pedagogical implication of teaching L2 learners to use bundles in writing class is suggested to help their writing more convincingly and academically.
