Authors: Zachepa I. M. , Mykhailova V. I.
Published: October 2022

The focus of this study is on educational media resources that can be effective and appropriate in classes of the discipline “Second foreign language (German)” and their potential for didactic authentic materials. The work defines what an educational media resource is. Educational media resources for the German language and the potential of their use for the discipline “Second foreign language (German)” were studied. Criteria for the selection of media resources for the discipline “Second foreign language (German)” have been defined. Separate issues of the methodology of using educational media resources in the context of teaching and learning the German language are considered. Ways of integrating certain educational media resources into the process of teaching and learning the German language are described. We focus on media literacy and consider digital applications that can bring authentic texts closer to students. We are interested in Web 2.0 platforms that can be used to create interactive exercises, since the idea is to didactically correctly, creatively, interestingly process authentic materials of a country-study nature, and get positive results in students’ assimilation of educational material. Taking into account the practical experience of using educational media resources of the world-famous educational platforms Goethe-Institut, Deutsche Welle and Klett-Verlag, a concise didactic analysis of their product is presented and recommendations are provided for the use of their content within the educational discipline “Second Foreign Language (German)”.
The Pedagogy of Renewal: Black Women, Reclaiming Joy, and Self-Care as Praxis
Authors: Hall Ashley , Bell Tiffany
Published: October 2022

The 2020 quote defining the pandemic era was “The New Normal,” which, for Black women, implies a need for structural and personal transformation. In this essay, we incorporate the concepts of culturally relevant pedagogy and critical autoethnography to amplify a Black feminist ethos of self-care as an embodied praxis. Reflecting on the embodied experiences of two Black women professors, we advance a crucial notion of self-care as a pedagogy of renewal to reclaim joy through generative and transformative modes, methods, and meanings.
Middle-Class “Chavs” From Working-Class Areas? Habitus, the Attainment Gap, and the Commodification of Higher Education Among Communication Students in England
Authors: Topić Martina , Diers-Lawson Audra , Goodman Christian
Published: October 2022

The purpose of the article is to compare and contrast higher education and research among public relations and journalism students of middle-class and working-class origin. The paper applied Bourdieu’s theory of habitus to analyze prejudices against the working class, explores whether working-class students express an anti-education view, and whether the appreciation of education (and research in particular) is a predominantly middle-class attitude. Focus groups and an online questionnaire were used to obtain views of students at a university in Northern England. Triple coding (open, axial, selective) was used and the data was then analyzed and presented using thematic analysis. Findings show that early socialization about education as well as students’ type of neighborhoods (habitus) influence studies’ views of higher education and research in particular. While the findings show some similarity with views in the literature of the middle-class being more inclined to value education, these findings show that this is true only for those who grow up in middle class areas whereas middle-class students who grew up in working-class areas show working-class attitudes toward education. Equally, working-class students who grew up in middle-class areas show what is usually perceived as a middle-class view of education. Both groups of students show a tendency toward embracing a consumerist view of higher education.
An Exploratory Investigation of Teacher Perceptions of Education and Communication at the Beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Beck Stephenson , Paskewitz Emily
Published: October 2022

In March 2020, teachers in the K–12 school system were forced to transition from in-person instruction to a variety of virtual teaching models due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This unprecedented change required extensive communication between teachers, students, parents, and administrators. This study explored communication during the March–May 2020 transition period, utilizing Uncertainty Management Theory as an overarching framework to investigate how teacher comfort with online learning, communication overload, administrative clarity, and student–teacher interaction influenced the effectiveness and happiness of teachers. Across these four variables, communication overload was shown to be a strong negative predictor of teacher well-being; student–teacher interaction predicted positive teaching outcomes.

Authors: Charoensap-Kelly Piyawan , Priddis DeAnne , Punyanunt-Carter Narissra
Published: October 2022

This study analyzed the National Communication Association (NCA) members’ perceptions regarding the effectiveness of their own and their peer presentations and the challenges they faced when preparing and giving conference presentations. Overall, participants (n = 187) feel fairly content with the effectiveness of NCA conference presentations and the value they have gained from them. The effectiveness of others’ presentations has a significant association with members’ perceived value of the conference presentations. The lack of experience and lack of confidence are key variables that heighten anxiety which can impact the effectiveness of presentations. Process anxiety was positively associated with presentation effectiveness whereas performance anxiety was negatively associated with presentation effectiveness. This needs assessment provides informed suggestions for making academic presentations more effective in the future.

Authors: McDermott Victoria , Smith Cortney , May Amy
Published: October 2022

Violence is a significant issue impacting the physical, mental, social, and economic health of our learning communities. For decades the discipline of peace education has explored the effects of nonphysical violence on students and educators, as well as ways to create more peaceful, less violent, and equitable educational practices. While communication frameworks have been used in peace education research, no research found has theorized the potential value of peace education for the communication discipline. Using the contextual background of communication centers, this piece seeks to disrupt steadfast norms and practices within communication centers from the perspective of peace education. We provide an overview of the field of peace education and explicate opportunities within the communication discipline to use peace education frameworks, theory, and practice to develop pedagogies of renewal and close with practical recommendations for communication centers going forward.

Authors: Molta Daniela , Luttrell Regina , McCollough Christopher
Published: October 2022

It is imperative that today’s advertising, journalism, mass communication, and public relations students are prepared to engage in corporate activism and corporate social responsibility communications once in the workforce. This article explores the need for incorporating equity-based pedagogy, using feminism as one of many approaches, into skills-based communication courses. The researchers conducted 20 qualitative interviews with academics to discuss various approaches, examples, and learnings. The findings suggest that using a feminist framework to teach skills: (1) enhances the skill being taught, (2) allows students to communicate more effectively, (3) builds life skills, and (4) comes in many forms. The article concludes with consideration to areas for future research and contributes to the understanding of academics engaged in a feminist approach to teaching skills-based communication courses.
Assessing Student Mindset, Interest, Participation, and Rapport in the Post-Pandemic Public Speaking Classroom: Effects of Modality Change and Communication Growth Mindset
Authors: Denker Katherine , Knight Kendra , Carroll Riley , Bradley Kathryn , Bonine Peyton , Lauck Sophia , Przytulski Heidi , Storr Michael
Published: October 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic created an exigency for educators to reevaluate their approaches to the classroom with one major dimension being course modality. This study uses the Instructional Beliefs Model to examine the impacts of course modality (i.e., hybrid versus face-to-face formats) and students’ communication growth mindset on student engagement in the foundational public speaking course. Consistent with pre-COVID-19 findings, the results indicated that modality does not significantly impact student engagement, with one exception: higher cognitive interest scores were reported among students in the hybrid modality. Communication growth mindset associated positively with all student engagement variables examined: student interest–emotional, student interest–cognitive, participation, and class rapport. The findings offer tentative optimism about the promise of blended public speaking course modalities, and evidence for the necessity of mindset intervention to maximize student success.
Instructional Resources to Assess Applied Projects as a Culminating Graduate Communication Student Experience
Authors: Strawser Michael , Rubenking Bridget , Lunsford Kelsey , Gravelyn Margaret
Published: October 2022

This study reviews the traditional culminating graduate student experiences, theses, and comprehensive exams, as well as a newer, more professionally relevant option, applied research projects. We conceptualize applied projects as student-led, client-connected, hands-on, experiential projects that address a real-world communication problem or topic through the creation of relevant deliverables. We used Glassick et al.’s (1997) scholarship assessed model and the National Communication Association’s communication learning outcomes to determine perceived differences between culminating experiences. Survey results (N = 32) of recent alumni and current master’s level Communication students demonstrate near-equal ratings of applied projects and theses in their ability to both meet scholarship assessment criteria and communication learning outcomes. Comprehensive exams are rated comparatively worse. Based on these criteria and others gained from implementing applied projects as an option for students, we offer a rubric for assessing master’s level applied research projects.
Encouraging Student Sense of Belonging Through Instructor Face Support
Authors: Burk Nicholas , Pearson Amy
Published: October 2022

Research has established important links between student sense of belonging in the classroom and levels of academic engagement, motivation, and persistence (e.g., Jang et al., 2016; Reeve, 2012) yet more work is needed to identify specific teacher communication tactics and strategies that can foster sense of belonging and increased engagement. Using a conceptual framework centered on organizational identification, we surveyed 172 undergraduates and found that instructor interpersonal skills—specifically face support during student feedback—significantly correlated with increased class identification and sense of belonging. These results hold important implications for promoting student engagement, motivation, and persistence, particularly for underrepresented students.
The Influence of Course Format, Student Characteristics, and Perceived Teacher Communication and Behavior on Instructional Outcomes Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Graham Elizabeth , Walter Heather , Tang Tang
Published: October 2022

Two studies examined instructional format (intact vs. hybrid and remote vs. online), classroom climate, student characteristics (engagement and communication apprehension), perceived teacher communication and behavior (teacher competence, clarity, caring), and their influence on instructional outcomes, including cognitive learning, communication satisfaction, and intent to persist in college pre-pandemic and during the pandemic. The findings highlight the important role teacher characteristics (caring, clarity, competence) played in instructional outcomes. This study also revealed that high levels of engagement signals students’ willingness to participate in the learning process. Students are a driving force in their own cognitive learning, communication satisfaction, and intent to persist in college. No statistically significant differences were found in instructional outcomes across various instructional formats.
Engaging Pre-Med Students in Field-Related Dialogue: Best Practices for a Dialogic Approach to a Health-Specific Oral Communication Course
Authors: Grecu Natalie
Published: October 2022

Using a dialogic framework as the backdrop to course curriculum, I developed an Oral Communication course for pre-med students with the goal to enhance students’ public speaking skills while also incorporating health communication and applied communication research and activities to create opportunities for engagement. I propose best practices for teaching pre-med oral communication by deconstructing “bedside manner,” emphasizing a dialogic, audience-centered approach to communication, illustrating the praxis of genuine communication, creating a supportive climate through nonverbal and small group communication tenets, and creating a space to practice genuine communication. Using this approach, the layperson understanding of “bedside manner” becomes an intersection of these areas to better understand the complexities of physician-patient communication.

Authors: Sonnier Tyshee , Stevenson Claire
Published: October 2022

This article provides best practices that instructors can use to affirm and support marginalized students’ mental health with a specific focus on students of color. Recently, campuses have witnessed renewed calls for diversity and inclusion in the wake of anti-Black violence. Advocates have called for needed structural changes. To build upon these calls for change, this article provides instructors with tools they can use in the interim to navigate questions of diversity, inclusion, and justice in the classroom. The essay centers the mental health needs of students from marginalized populations to hedge against the possibility that efforts to foster inclusion, including advocating for structural reform, contribute additional trauma to these students.
16. Yüzyıl Şairlerinden Mahremi’nin Balkan Coğrafyasındaki Hayatı ve Tarihi Hadiseleri Ele Alışı Hakkında Bazı Tespitler
Authors: KARAVELİOĞLU Murat Ali
Published: October 2022

Türk Edebiyatının, gerek hayatı gerekse zengin tarihsel arka plana sahip eserleriyle son derece ilginç ve orijinal şairlerinden olan Tatavlalı Mahremi hakkında kaynakların verdiği malumat hem çok sınırlı hem de birbirinin tekrarı şeklindedir. Bu membalara bakılınca onun, hayatının son yıllarında Selanik’te bulunduğu dışında Balkan coğrafyasındaki hayatı ve faaliyetlerine dair hiçbir bilgiye rastlanmaz. Bir şairin veya yazarın eserleri, başka tüm kaynaklardan daha doğru ve detaylı bilgi verir. Mahremi’nin şiirleri incelendiğinde de aynı sonuca varılır. Bildiride şairin özellikle üç kasidesi ile kaynaklarda bulunan bilgiler birlikte değerlendirilecektir. Tarih ve edebiyat bilimlerinin müşterekliği vurgulanacaktır. Yakın zaman önce tarafımızdan yayımlanan kasideleri bize, onun hayatı, edebi kişiliği ve dil bilinci hakkında yeni bilgiler sunmaktadır. Buna göre Mahremi, Balkanlarda yaklaşık on beş yıl yaşamış, bu süre zarfında memuriyet hayatının yanı sıra Kanuni Sultan Süleyman’ın Belgrad Seferine ve Mohaç Meydan Muharebesine iştirak etmiştir. Katılarak bizzat şahit olduğu tarihi olayları kasidelerinde detaylı bir şekilde anlatması onun son derece iyi bir gözlemci olduğunu, askeri dile hâkim bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Yaşanan bazı tarihi hadiseleri titiz ve teferruata dalarak, Türkçenin ifade kudretini bütünüyle kullanarak göz önüne sermeyi başarmıştır. Öte yandan sade Türkçe ile kaleme aldığı ve bugün elimizde bulunan birkaç parça şiiri ile olduğu gibi bu tarihi metinlerle de Türkçenin tarihsel gelişimine katkıda bulunmuştur. Disiplinler arası çalışmaların örnekleneceği bildiride şairin bilhassa üç kasidesinden hareket edilerek 16. yüzyılın ilk yarısında Türk dili ve tarihine yaklaşımı ele alınacak, tarihi dil ve edebiyat çalışmalarında hem şair/yazarın eserleri hem de farklı disiplinlerin bulguları beraber değerlendirilecektir.

The article presents the experience of using GIS technologies to prepare predictors of regression models of carbon stocks created using the random forest machine learning method. The study was conducted on the territory of the Dankovsky district forestry, located in the south of the Moscow region. GIS analysis of spatial data containing information about the relief and hydrographic network of the study area was performed. As a result, morphometric values describing the surface runoff and altitude zonality of the study area have been created, which will be considered as predictors of carbon stock modeling. The article describes GIS tools that allow you to create thematic geospatial products: exposure, slope steepness and curvature; direction, distance and length of the flow line, total flow; average altitude above sea level and distance to the river. In addition, the boundaries of river catchment basins have been identified by means of GIS analysis, within which it is also planned to perform carbon stock modeling.

Currently, forest climatic projects aimed at enhancing the carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems are becoming very popular. The main requirements for such projects include additionality, permanence and the absence of leakage. Compliance with these requirements ensures that the project fulfils the tasks at which it is aimed. Predictive modelling can be one of the tools for checking the compliance of forest climate projects with the above principles. The purpose of the study was to assess the prospects for carbon accumulation during the implementation of reforestation projects in the Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk regions. An assessment of the carbon balance in the territory of artificial reforestation projects was carried out at the baseline (natural regeneration of Betula spp. and Populus tremula L.) and during the implementation of the forest climatic project (planting of Pinus sylvestris L.) with a forecast for 100 years. The results show that during the implementation of the project, the achieved level of emissions is higher and the level of carbon sequestration is lower compared to the baseline, which contradicts the principle of additionality, and, therefore, artificial reforestation cannot be considered as a forest climatic project. The highest efficiency in carbon sequestration for mixed plantations is predicted for mixtures of Pinus sylvestris with 20–30 percent of small-leaved species (Betula spp. and Populus tremula). However, the implementation of artificial reforestation projects can be essential for the reproduction of valuable forest resources, but in this case it is necessary to take into account the way the obtained phytomass of trees is used, since the length of the carbon conservation period will depend on this.

Authors: CHEEK Dennis
Published: October 2022

Academic conferences regarding digital transformation and online learning will continue to offer academic papers and workshops designed to advance work in online learning for all students. We will not return to the pre-pandemic ways of engaging in teaching and learning in higher education. Ongoing digital transformation and online learning will need to be future-focused if it is going to meet the needs of higher education both now and in the further future. Learning experience designers have a unique skill set and insights to aid such transitions but they must be more strategic in their engagements within their institutions and engage more widely in the higher education sector as a whole to maximize their impact.

The focus was to assess yearly research productivity, key research areas, journals in which researchers publish, collaborating countries, languages used to publish papers, and major agencies that fund research. The findings indicate that research productivity has been increasing over the past decades, with biomedical research dominating much of the output. Addis Ababa, Gondar, Jimma, Mekelle and Bahir Dar universities were identified as the institutions with a relatively higher level of research productivity than the other universities in the country. The top five collaborating countries for Ethiopian researchers were found to be the US, UK, India, Germany, and South Africa. The dominant language of research was English. However, since the country has a strong tradition of producing knowledge in local languages, this finding indicates the need to incorporate research published in African languages in journals and databases.

Aegle marmelos Linn, (Rutaceae) is a medicinal plant used in traditional formulations for the treatment of various disease conditions. The physicochemical properties fluctuate with the season and in response to stress. To obtain the highest medicinal value it is necessary to collect the plant's raw material in the correct season. The present study was aim to evaluate the physiochemical fluctuations in the leaves of Aegle marmelos and the aegelin, an antidiabetic constituent in these leaves. Leaves were collected every month of a year atdifferent time and places and authentication and standardization was done. The leaves wereevaluated for macroscopic and microscopic evaluation, quantitative microscopy, proximate phytochemical analysis, extractive values in petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol, water, and determination of the concentration of antidiabetic component. The leaves showed morphological and microscopical variations in different seasons. The phytochemical composition was the same in all seasons however the levels of extractive values fluctuated in response to seasonal variations. Maximum levels of ethanol and water extract were obtained in the winter season also the angle in concentration was higher in thisseason.
The Establishment of Mulla Sadra’s Philosophy: Main Concepts on Al-Hikmah Al-Muta’alliyah
Authors: Usman Miswari
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this article is to review the main concepts of Mulla Sadra’s philosophy. These ideas are the foundation of the Al-Hikmah Al-Muta'alliyah group of philosophy theory. This philosophy, along with Al-Hikmah Al-Masya'iyyah and Al-Hikmah Al-Isyraqiyah, is one of the three major groups in Islamic philosophy. This study used a descriptive analysis. The author reviews the main work of Mulla Sadra, namely Al-Hikmah Al-Muta'alliyah fil Al-Sysfar 'Aqliyah Arba'ah and another book, namely Al-Masya'ir. Secondary references are also used, such as Mulla Sadra's other works and they’re relevant to the subject of study. This study attempts to identify the six concepts that make up the philosophical theory of Al-Hikmah Al-Muta'alliyah, namely: the fundamental of wujûd (Ashalat al- Wujûd), the gradation of wujûd (Tâskîkal-Wujûd), the poverty of cause (Illîyah), the simple reality (Basith al-Haqîqah), the substance movement (al-Harakah al-Jawhayiah), and the unity of subject and object (Ittihad Aqil wa Ma'qûl). These concepts demonstrate that Mulla Sadra's philosophy has strong conceptual roots and is difficult to refute. As a result, Mulla Sadra's philosophy remains one of the most influential groups of Islamic philosophy.

Rapid proliferation of the Internet of things (IoT) has helped solve a myriad of problems across different sectors. Whilst powered assets rely on their own power source to enhance asset monitoring, a need exists to develop an asset security system for non-powered assets. Since an IoT device has network layers, it can be used with the physical layer to solve this problem. As a result, a method of enhancing asset security with IoT was implemented. A GSM chip for SMS and server connection was used to communicate the battery status and location information obtained from a GPS chip. A method of detecting tamper on the device was implemented through infrared sensors. A microcontroller was the heart of the system as it interfaced with all other devices to form the IoT system. The result of the study was an efficient prototype of an IoT asset tracking device which communicates through SMS and it logs location data to a remote server through GPRS connection. There is a room for improvement in terms of optimizing power consumption to lengthen the duration before a recharge is required.

Introduction: Due to stressful work conditions, nurses are constantly exposed to various emotions and stressors such as anger and moral distress that threaten their mental health. On the other hand, self-esteem is one of the personality traits essential for people's mental health and improving their performance. Objective: The present study investigates the relationship between anger, moral distress, and self-esteem in nurses. Materials and Methods: This analytical correlational study was conducted on nurses working in the hospitals affiliated with the non-profit organization of Mazandaran Social Security Insurance from August to November 2018. Two hundred nurses were selected for this study via stratified random sampling. The study data were collected using the Cooper-Smith self-esteem inventory, Hamric moral distress scale, and state-trait anger expression inventory. The collected data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests, and path analysis was used for testing the conceptual model. Results: The mean±SD age of the nurses was 36.24±5.37 years. The mean ±SD anger, self-esteem, and moral distress scores were 113.68 ± 15.04, 26.61 ± 3.49, and 65.66 ± 35.88, respectively. The results of the path analysis model suggested an inverse causal relationship between self-esteem and moral distress (P<0.05). This model also indicated a significant inverse relationship between self-esteem and anger (P=0.01). Conclusion: As the results show, the nurses' self-esteem can mitigate the adverse effects of moral distress and anger. These results show the significant psychological interventions in controlling anger and promoting self-esteem and reducing moral distress among nurses.
