Development of a comprehensive system of matrices of the marketing environment for decision making and the contribution of the growth of small and medium enterprises (PYMES) in the region of Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras, Flores Huete Mario Fernando
Published: June 2022

In Tegucigalpa, Honduras, the PYMES sector is an economic engine due to its proven ability to generate employment and for its contribution to the economy, in general. (INE, 2017). On average, 90% is made up of micro and small companies and only 10% of medium-sized companies. The main objective was to develop an integrated model of strategic matrices for the PYMES of the Central District, Honduras; that allows influencing in optimizing the decision-making of its main managerial indicators. The hypothesis to be demonstrated was whether an integrated model of strategic matrices of the Marketing environment helps decision-making, and allows the organizational growth of PYMES. The research was descriptive in scope, with a type of non-experimental cross-sectional research, the independent variable was an integrated model of strategic matrices of the Marketing environment and the dependent variable growth or business potentialization in PYMES. For the study, the universe of 10,000 PYMES in Tegucigalpa was considered, taking the sample of 155 companies selected using the simple random technique. It was determined how PYMES analyze their environments, be it the macro environment and micro environment, through a system of 6 strategic matrices. The system was developed in a company where the implementation of the matrices demonstrated different strategies, which, depending on the results, can contribute significantly, in how SMEs can face their competitive environment in all areas and the possible solutions both to Short, medium and long term. The work was carried out for the Doctorate in Projects of the Universidad Iberoamericana, with an agreement with Funiber.

Published: June 2022

Este artigo trata sobre a importância da implementação de um Ecomuseu como instrumento capaz de resguardar a história e cultura de uma determinada localidade. Teve como objetivo geral compreender a percepção dos atores locais de Babaçulândia-TO quanto a relevância em construir um ecomuseu na cidade, tendo em vista o contexto histórico-cultural do referido destino ser marcado pelo uso do Coco Babaçu. Com relação aos aspectos teóricos, primou-se por discutir pontos acerca do patrimônio cultural e memória; aspectos conceituais e características históricas do museu; e destacar a relação entre turismo e o ecomuseu. Quanto a metodologia, o trabalho é de natureza qualitativa e foram realizadas entrevistas com os grupos de interesse do destino (setor público e privado, comunidade local). A amostragem foi a não probabilística por conveniência. Como resultados, destaca-se que os atores entrevistados, em sua maioria, não entendem de forma clara o que seria um museu, porém aqueles que detém esse conhecimento acreditam que é importante esse tipo de espaço na cidade. Além do mais, constatou-se que o coco babaçu foi essencial para as famílias, e que muitas delas dependiam exclusivamente da comercialização do coco ou de artefatos produzidos a partir dessa matéria-prima.

Published: June 2022

Considerando que muitos espaços religiosos como seminários, conventos e mosteiros encontram-se obsoletos de sua função original e tendo em vista que estas instalações possuem grande riqueza histórica, cultural e arquitetônica, muito importante nas transformações sociológicas, econômicas e urbanísticas. Esses locais são considerados com forte potencial turístico, podendo encontrar na hoteleira um auxílio para potencializálos. O objetivo do presente estudo busca sistematizar a transformação destes espaços religiosos, analisando qual a importância e relevância que o marketing turístico possui para tal acontecimento. Para a elaboração do mesmo, realizou-se uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva de natureza básica com a utilização de procedimento bibliográfico. Um estudo semelhante foi realizado por Aspres, A. L. (2017), que também buscou a compreensão e análise de monumentos religiosos que tiveram alteração na sua função original. Para estruturar o processo e atingir a compreensão dessa transformação, o autor estabelece quatro critérios de análise: autenticidade, identidade, ação operativa e função. Considerações finais: O turismo no espaço religioso requer adaptações e conteúdos apropriados priorizando sua identidade e autenticidade desde sua transformação estrutural, quanto na sua divulgação, uma vez que estes locais possuem um forte significado histórico, cultural e religioso. Por isso, para explorar a promoção e potencialização de espaços religiosos, é preciso utilizar recursos apropriados do marketing, não descaracterizando seu significado simbólico e religioso.
All-optical phase memory circuit based on two coupled lasers and external optical injection
Authors: von Lerber Tuomo , Lyubopytov Vladimir , Ylinen Lauri , Lassas Matti , Küppers Franko
Published: June 2022

Our Paper describes a novel all-optical memory intended for optical computing applications and capable of integrated implementation. The memory circuit is based on a pair of mutually coupled, injection-locked lasers. The memory is static and volatile, i.e., it does not require refresh, and its state can be changed at will, respectively. We aim for a solution that can be fabricated with standard integrated optical technologies.

We prove mathematically that the interconnected laser system has steady states that quantify and retain phase information under suitable conditions. We show numerically that despite simplifications of the mathematical analysis, also rate-equation-based models confirm the essential findings.

We believe the proposed memory is unique in storing phase information in an all-optical setting. In the Paper, we provide a comprehensive review of existing optical memory approaches and argue some of the benefits of our approach. Naturally, the perceived benefit must always be reflected against the intended use. Our primary aims are in-situ optical computing or datacom applications.

Unfolding the Lived Experiences of the College Students’ Language Learning Strategies vis-à-vis their English Proficiency: A Convergent Design
Authors: RAYMUNDE PEDRO JR , Mamonong Virgion H.
Published: June 2022

The study determined students’ language learning strategies (LLS) status and English proficiency (EP). A mixed-method, particularly the convergent design, was used. Through purposive sampling, 378 and 17 Education major in English students served as participants for the quantitative and qualitative strands. An adapted questionnaire for quantitative strand and interview guide for qualitative strand were used to gather the necessary data. The study revealed a high level of LLS and a low level of EP. The compensation strategy has a significant relationship to EP. Six themes unfolded as the lived experiences in learning English: sustaining interest amidst fear, looking through an uphill battle, experiences enrich communicative competence, courage to face adversities, igniting positive language learning, and translating excellence in multilingual contexts. Regarding the insights on the contribution of English LLS, five themes emerged: a window of opportunities, towering the students' lamp, guarding with a bulletproof vest, dreaded fires of mediocrity, and kindling brighter lamps through assistance. Moreover, the joint display of quantitative and qualitative findings yielded that students' LLS and their lived experiences are convergent when the merging function is employed; EP status and experiences are convergent when the merging function is employed. However, on the relationship of LLS on the EP of the students, the results show the merging functions as diverging. Further, only the compensation strategies have a significant relationship with the EP of the students.
Development of Moroccan University Students’ Intercultural Competence -Department of English Studies
Authors: EL Hadri Oumeima
Published: June 2022

This article attempts to analyze the development of intercultural communicative competence in Moroccan universities to identify whether the pedagogy administered by teachers and educators caters to the intercultural competence goals and teaching objectives and whether students manage to develop their competencies over their undergraduate program. The researcher conducts questionnaires with 875 university students from three different English departments in three different universities and 40 observation classes. Besides, investigations are implemented on the curriculum content, the materials, and the teaching strategies involved in developing intercultural competence. Findings generated from data demonstrate that most Moroccan university students partly develop their intercultural competence from S2 to S6 on particular intercultural components, including attitudes, skills, and values. Conclusions attest that more efforts are to be considered by policymakers and educators to rethink the factors halting this development and design more advanced strategies and syllabi that contribute to the improvement of all intercultural components central to adequate and appropriate foreign communications.
Mimesis in Emily Dickinson’s Select Poems: A Mirror Through Realities
Authors: AMPO WEENA MAE
Published: June 2022

This paper aims to reveal the acceptance of life’s realities as expressed by the poet in her select poems through the lens of the mimetic theory of Rene Girard. Specifically, the mimetic significations are analyzed through each poem’s poetic vision. The literary study is a qualitative descriptive, it employs closed reading and content analysis methods to determine the poetic visions of the select poems: “Hope” is the thing with feathers,” “Because I could not stop for Death,” “If I can stop one heart from breaking,” and “I’m Nobody! Who Are You?” The analysis of poetic visions reveals that hope remains despite life’s struggles and difficulties; the acceptance of death is an eternity of living; compassion is a language of love, and fame brings complexity to life.
English Language Use by Saudi Female Students in Higher Education: Insights for Educators and Policymakers
Authors: Almohaimeed Nura , Alnasser Suliman
Published: June 2022

Saudi higher education recognizes the importance of teaching and learning the English language, leading to the establishment of several academic English departments to fulfill national needs. Mastery of English in an EFL (English as a foreign language) context requires more frequent language use, both inside and outside the classroom domain. Current research suggests that investigations into Saudi students’ English language use inside the classroom have been addressed, but outside its boundaries and at the department level have yet to be addressed. This study aimed to address that gap to provide insights into female learners’ perspectives on the Saudi EFL learning environment. It adopted a mixed-methods approach for data collection. A seven-item survey with an open-ended section was filled out by Saudi female students (n = 381) studying in English departments nationwide. Additionally, semi-structured interviews with two questions were conducted with BA and MA English students (n = 10). The findings reveal the failure of Saudi English departments to provide students with the English practice opportunities they need and learners’ dissatisfaction with the current learning environment. The implications of the study include the urgent need for decision-makers to intervene and change the current status quo.
African Languages Development in Education -Bilingualism and African Languages
Authors: EL Hadri Oumeima
Published: June 2022

The issue of teaching in the mother tongue has generated significant and controversial debates among decision-makers and has engendered different policies aiming to enhance the use of mother tongues into educational curricula. Africa is a perfect illustration of a continent where mother tongues have been marginalized over years to let the place to foreign and colonial languages to expand and become official languages.This article reviews the current situation of African languages as means of instruction and provides some anticipation for the use of mother tongues in educational systems designed in future national strategic plans. The study of these plans has been conducted in order to examine whether African countries have been able to achieve the significant resolutions derived from the UNESCO conference in 1953 and whether they apply bilingual approaches properly without ignoring the importance of mother tongues. Results have demonstrated that most African countries have been able to use their own mother tongue as the language of instruction together with a foreign language, and seek to adopt the same strategy in the coming years. Few countries on the other hand plan to change from using the mother tongue into applying one foreign language only.
Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County as a Paradigm of Bad Parenting
Authors: Ghazi Mohammed Marwa
Published: June 2022

One’s character is shaped by the family he/she has and the way he/she is raised up. Bad parents affect their children tragically, and the later consequences, the parents are the ones who pay for being bad ones. Tracy Letts explores the dark side of family life in his domestic play August: Osage County (2007), one of the most well-known contemporary plays of American theatre in the twenty-first century. The playwright presents the Westons as an embodiment of the image of family disconnected relationships due to bad parenting. Violet is a model of a bad mother who plays a prominent role in destroying her family. The impact of bad parenting is revealed in the circle of the formerly abused children who turned to be abusers of their children or the search for love and care in the others as an alternative to the parent image. This paper examines the reasons for being bad parents concerning Violet in particular and the psychological effects of her aggressive behavior and insufficient care for her three daughters. The importance of the study lies in demonstrating the shape of the characters of the daughters in facing the challenges of life.
Investigating the Use of Google Meet and Face-to-Face in Teaching Conversation
Authors: Rashid Maysaa
Published: June 2022

Conversation is an oral skill in which two persons can exchange their ideas, thoughts and opinions to communicate with each other. Learners can work in pairs or groups to practice dialogues chosen by the teacher from their textbook materials or from additional resources. Nowadays, because of Corona virus infection, our college students are taught all the subjects including conversation course either via google classroom platform or any other platforms. Google meet is one of online meetings between the teacher and students, i.e., a video meet in which students and the teacher join the online meetings in a specified time to communicate, express their ideas, thoughts and feelings about what is mentioned above. In this study, the researcher has chosen (third stage level/college students during the academic year 2020/2021) and the data of the study was two dialogues chosen from “Chris Redston and Gillie Cunningham Face2face Intermediate Student's Book. Cambridge University Press (2013)” to study by google meet. Another two dialogues were chosen from their required textbook Real Listening and Speaking 4 with Answers. Miles Craven (2008). Cambridge University Press to study by face to face. One group of thirty-two students was chosen randomly to be the experimental group for the sample of the study to practice the dialogues via face- to- face and via google meet.  This group post-tested by an observation checklist; results are calculated. At the end, the researcher concludes google meet has a great influence on students’ learning in the post-test scores, the t-test value is found to be 20.320 which is more than the tabulated value 2.042. Then, recommendations and suggestions for further studies are put forward.
Is Universal Grammar Available To L2 Learners?
Authors: Boussaid Youness
Published: June 2022

Nativist argues that Universal Grammar is the genetic component of the language faculty. This theoretical concept is controversial in many aspects. The lack of strong empirical evidence has rendered some language researchers and teachers troubled about what Universal Grammar is and whether L2 learners have access to UG. Understanding the different aspects of UG would assist teachers in approaching teaching L2 learners in the light of UG theory. The present review paper provides a brief account of what UG is and critically investigates the hypotheses and arguments for and against UG to give a comprehensive answer to the question: is universal grammar available to L2 learners? A myriad of hypotheses have been put forward to answer this question. These range from those that suggest that L2 learners have full access to UG in that learners can reset their parameters to conform to L2 parameters to those that suggest that L2 learners only have partial access to UG. Apart from these accounts, others argue that learners acquire L2 using general domain skills rather than direct access to UG. Still, others assert that L2 learners only have access to UG via L1.
Spatial Deixis in Moroccan Tachelhit Variety
Authors: Boussaid Youness
Published: June 2022

This paper investigates spatial deixis in Moroccan Tachelhit Variety. Deixis is a word of Greek origin which means ‘pointing.’ The paper explores the means that Tachelhit offers its speakers for spatial deictic reference, an important pragmatic aspect that linguists of Tachelhit have not heeded to. Tachelhit has a rich spatial deictic system which is thus categorized into: Demonstratives, Adverbs of Place, Prepositions, Motion Verbs, and Presentatives. Tachelhit has a four-term spatial deictic system which changes according to the interplay of gender, proximity, distance, and absence. The paper also discovers that Tachelhit is a language that benefits from spatial deictic iconicity. The two major data collection methods that were used in this qualitative paper are content analysis and elicitation technique. Some examples from other languages (English, Latin, Turkish, Indonesian, Bantu, and French) are provided for cross-linguistic comparison and instantiation.
A Cognitive Framework in Learning English Progressive Tense
Authors: Fahmi Aajami Raghad
Published: June 2022

Dealing with the English language and the skills of using it is still the focus of interest for many researchers, teachers and workers in the field of education. Cognitive grammar theory founded by Langacker (1987) is one of the prominent theories in this field. Iraqi students face a problem in mastering and understanding the use of the English language tenses. There are a lot of researches that have been conducted in the Iraqi context to improve the level of Iraqi students and to benefit from cognitive theory such as analysing the polysemy of English preposition. This research is an empirical study in which 85 students from the College of Education for Women at the University of Baghdad, English department participated in this experiment. The data were collected through two tests, pre and post, and the SPSS statistical editor was used to measure the extent of improvement in the participants' performance, in addition to a focus group discussion and questionnaire before and after the experiment. The results showed an improvement in the students’ achievement. This indicates that the cognitive grammar theory has positive contributions in improving the understanding, assimilation and use of tenses in the English as a foreign language.

Published: June 2022

English is the most widely used language (lingua franca) which is taught from primary to tertiary levels of education in Bangladesh education system. The secondary level is very much important for the young EFL learners to learn English language, especially grammar, as it prepares them and builds their foundation for the next levels of education. However, this study attempts to assess the practices and problems of teaching English grammar in our country, especially the teaching approaches and techniques, the roles of teacher and learners, the perception of needs of English grammar, the learners’ preferences about the learning strategies etc. The data, which was collected through the teacher and student questionnaire, interviews of the teachers and classroom observations, has unveiled the problems in teaching English grammar to the students of class IX-X. The findings of the study suggest that the teachers prefer applying the memorization techniques rather than the communicative approach. It suggests specific measures to solve the problems of teaching grammar at the end of the paper.
Fighters or Victims: Women at War as Depicted in Harry Potter Novels
Authors: Sultan Shrouk , Saleh Basma , ElSherbini Asmaa
Published: June 2022

Witches in Harry Potter novels play major roles that affect the course of events. Some of these witches are authority figures in institutions, while others can be housewives, aurors, ministry employees, or talented witches. This paper discusses several different witches who take part, intentionally or not, in the battle between good and evil in Harry Potter novels. Three of these witches will be tackled in terms of their roles as fighters, while three others will be tackled in terms of their degradation into victims. This analysis will be done through the investigation of the attitudes of the characters towards themselves and their positions, as well as the surrounding characters’ reception of the selected characters, and carefully reading the events of the seven Harry Potter novels. Because Harry Potter novels are widely-read, the depiction of female characters in these novels as either fighters or victims impact readers’ perception of women’s roles in their communities. Analyzing the female characters, this paper intends to help readers to realize if Harry Potter novels help to empower women or limit their potentials. Since women issues are an important part of our lives, and since Harry Potter novels are widely-read, finding out whether these novels empower women or limit their potentials is crucial to our understanding of the major impact that fiction can have on people’s lives.

With a volume of 2 billion+ trades per day and a market capitalization of 2.56 trillion USD the national stock exchange (NSE), India is one of the largest stock exchanges in the world. Every day the value of stocks, commodities, bonds and futures fluctuate inducing volatility and forecasting these fluctuations to make money requires deep knowledge about the market and their historical data. Thus, a simple time series forecasting model is not enough to predict future movements as we need to know about the market sentiment, trend and industry fundamentals to bolster our stand of declaring a stock or commodity as bearish or bullish. In this research, using machine learning forecasting models like Attention integrated Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Model and a Reinforcement Learning agent coupled with statistical indicators and trading strategies like Auto Regression Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Prophet, Momentum trading and Pairwise trading to quantify the trend and market sentiment an approach to predict movements is devised. Using this approach increases the accuracy of stand-alone algorithms and helps in generating a cumulative analysis of the stock on the basis of itself and its stock universe data.
Designing a Reactor for Use in High Voltage Power Systems and Performing Experimental and Simulation Analysis
Authors:   Dicle University, Silvan Vocational School, Electrical Department, Diyarbakır, Turkey, Özüpak Yıldırım
Published: June 2022

Today, magnetically controlled shunt reactors are widely used in solving power quality problems. These reactors are designed to reduce system reactive power, control high super/special high voltage grid voltage, suppress power frequency, regulate overvoltage, eliminate generator excitation, dynamically compensate transmission line power charge, suppress secondary arc current, suppress system resonance. By using suitably designed silica plate core reactors at the input of the frequency converters in the electrical distribution system, the level of harmonic currents drawn from the electrical power distribution system can be reduced to certain rates. The core material, the air-gapped nature of the reactor core, and the sizing of the reactor have a great influence on the harmonic level of the current and its ability to reduce losses in the reactor. In this study, three reactors with different core materials and different air gap gaps are designed for a certain voltage value. Parametric analysis of the reactors designed to see the changes in inductance values depending on the load level has been made both theoretically and experimentally and using the Finite Element Method. As a result of the analysis, the inductance stability, losses and compliance of the reactors with the standards are presented. The reactor's magnetic circuit is modeled with ANSYS@Maxwell, realizing a solution based on this method. The magnetic circuit is simulated to see the behavior of the reactor. In addition, real-time verification of the designed alternating current reactor has been made. Optimum design was obtained by using different core materials and different core air-gaped tested experimentally. The effect of the air gap distance in the core on the magnetic field and inductance value was also obtained.

The recent reduction in ambient air quality has been related to anthropogenic activity. This anthropogenic activity played a big role in polluting the atmosphere. Ozone (O3) is one of the air pollutants that is not emitted directly from the source at ground level. Anthropogenic activities like industrial and mobile sources, on the other hand, may produce O3 pollutant precursors directly. Human health, the environment, materials, and crops have all been found to be negatively affected by this O3 pollutant. As a result, this study investigated the causal relationship between O3 and particulate matter, gaseous pollutants, and meteorological circumstances. Three monitoring stations, each representing a different geographic region, were chosen. The three sampling monitoring stations are in Negeri Sembilan, Kelantan, and Perlis, and represent industrial, urban, and sub-urban areas, respectively. Sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and wind speed (WS) are all causally related to O3 in Nilai, as are SO2 and carbon monoxide (CO) in Kota Bharu, and NO2 and CO in Kangar. In the meantime, it was discovered that the causal relationship between the causative parameter and O3 is only one-way. The O3 considers this to be a secondary contaminant that may require this parameter in order to form in ambient air. However, none of the primary parameters have a directional relationship to the others, except for O3. As a result, this discovery may be useful in future research to increase our understanding of air quality, particularly the O3 pollutant.

Purpose – This study aims at finding out how cost, quality, delivery and flexibility as supply chain performance (SCP) measures are affected by information sharing in the context of a developing country Nepal.
Design/Methodology/Approach – The research was carried out in Nepal with data collected through a survey from 131 supply chain participants that includes suppliers, growers, manufacturers, distributors/dealers, wholesalers, retailers and logistics service providers. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and path analysis were performed to assess the fitness of the proposed model and test the hypothesis developed for this study.
Findings – The findings demonstrated that information sharing plays a key role in enhancing the performance of supply chains (SC). It shows that delivery and flexibility performance are significantly affected by operational as well as strategic information sharing while cost and quality performance are not affected by information sharing.
Originality/Value – This study adds to the existing knowledge by providing empirical support towards the role of operational and strategic information sharing on cost, quality, delivery and flexibility, especially in the context of a landlocked developing country.
Research Limitations/Implications – The main limitation is the moderate response rate than desired. While the composition of respondents represented the targeted companies, most of the participants were manufacturers (56%).
Practical Implications – The results of this study will help supply chain participants in Nepal to have an enhanced insight and awareness towards the importance of information sharing in enhancing their performance.

PARAPHRASE AND NICKNAME ANALYSIS
Authors:   Student Faculty of Turkic Studies Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies,, Foziliya Muazzama
Published: June 2022

This article deals with the phenomenon of renaming events and individuals by describing their characteristics, not by their names. It has also been suggested that people have nicknames that refer to their strengths and weaknesses. Paraphrases are then used to describe speech as a means of stylistics. Paraphrases are said to be renaming by describing objects, events, and types, and their types are listed according to their structure. Paraphrases have been noted to serve not only to enrich charm, imagery, and speech, but also to reinforce its content. The lexical unit of the nickname, in turn, has four different meanings. At the same time, Rashod Nuri Guntekin connects the whole system of events in the novel “Cholikushi” with certain paraphrases and divides them into three parts: “Farida – Cholikushi”, “Farida – Ipak qurti”, “Farida – Gulbashakar”. It is said that the events of the work are developed around these paraphrases by the author, and the author has created the original aesthetic means. It is emphasized that each paragraph and nickname in the work is a unique invention of the author, which is skillfully used in the novel as a methodological tool. It is noted that Rashod Nuri Guntekin’s novel “Cholikushi” effectively used paraphrases and nicknames. The author is in his work “Çalıkuşu”, “İpekböceği”, “Gülbeşeker”, “Evliya parmaklığı”, “Küçük” parafrazalarini, “Sakallı Amca”, “Gourde”, “San çıyanı”, “Ayı Dayı”, “Sarı zalim”, “Sarı mahluk”, “Düldül”, “Odabaşı”, “Sevgili ayıcıklarım” emphasis was placed on the skillful use of their nicknames in their place, and analyzed through examples. In the conclusion, the main part of the nicknames are Turkish words, some of them contain Persian (gül, dayı) and Arabic (zalim, mahluk) words, the only nickname is French (gourde)), in order to convey the spirit of the time explained.
