PERKAWINAN LILI DI MANGGARAI: ANTARA HUKUM ADAT DAN AGAMA
Authors: Adon Mathias Jebaru
Published: May 2021

Budaya Manggarai mengenal berbagai jenis perkawinan. Salah satunya adalah perkawinan lili atau legal married of brother/sister in law. Perkawinan ini dilakukan dengan seorang wanita yang telah menjanda ditinggal mati oleh suaminya. Sementara seorang laki-laki masih ada hubungan keluarga dengan mantan suaminya. Lili sebenarnya bukanlah sebuah perkawinan yang resmi jika dilihat dari tata cara adat perkawinan Manggarai. Lili hanya pengalihan tanggungjawab sebagai suami terhadap seorang janda menggantikan suaminya terdahulu yang telah meninggal. Hukum Perkawinan Gereja Katolik mengizinkan seseorang menikah dengan saudara/saudari pasangan yang sudah meninggal (ipar). Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendalami adat perkawinan lili masyarakat Manggarai dan perspektif hukum perkawinan Gereja Katolik tentang perkawinan lili. Studi ini menemukan bahwa kendatipun perkawinan lili tidak dilarang Gereja tetapi seringkali bertentangan dengan tujuan perkawinan Katolik karena motivasi perkawinan lili dalam adat perkawinan Manggarai cenderung didasarkan pada tanggung jawab memelihara anak-anak yang ditinggalkan dalam perkawinan sebelumnya. Hal ini bertentangan dengan hakikat perkawinan Katolik yang pertama-tama didasarkan pada kesejahteraan suami isteri.

An Analysis of Negation in English
Authors: KANE Hafissatou
Published: May 2021

This paper offers an overview of the different constructions used to express negation in English. Based on previous research in the literature, several negation types have been identified. It has been shown that certain negative affixes such as dis-, un-, anti-, -less, etc. can be attached to the base word and negate it without affecting the remainder of the sentence. The second form of negation is the standard negation, where English adds the particle not (or its contracted form n’t) to the primary verb or to the auxiliary. Negative imperatives are made of do not / don’t + infinitive, while only not is used before infinitives and –ing forms to express negation. It has also been noted that there are several instances in English where negative quantifiers and indefinite pronouns can mark a clause negative. And, one of the major findings at this level is that the replacement of the not-negation (not…anybody, not….anyone) by no-negation constructions (nobody, no one) is often possible. However, the use of no-negation form at the beginning of the clause is more grammatically accepted due to the principle of negative attraction. The study finally shows that subject-auxiliary inversion in negative sentences can be considered optional sometimes.
English Sentence Patterns in Cameroonian Book Blurbs
Authors: Fornkwa Marcel Jaff
Published: May 2021

This paper examines Cameroonian book blurbs, with a focus on identifying and analysing the various sentence patterns used by Cameroonian blurb writers in producing their blurbs. Data for the study are collected from 80 blurbs of books written and published in Cameroon, and in English. The books are randomly selected from four main fields: language, social sciences, hard sciences and fiction. The data are analysed based on the multidimensional perspective of the genre theory; with an inclination on the grammatical features of genres. The analyses focus not only on presenting the frequencies of the various sentence patterns identified in Cameroonian blurbs, but also on determining the functions of the patterns used in these blurbs. The findings reveal that Cameroonian writers make use of simple sentences, complex sentences and elliptical syntactic patterns in the various moves of their blurbs to realize different communicative intentions of the moves.  These communicative intentions combine to realize the academic and promotional communicative purposes of the genre.
Levels of Equivalence in Interpreter-mediated Sermons from English into Luhya Varieties
Authors: Khachula Annet Aromo , Mandillah Lucy , Mudogo Bernard Angatia
Published: May 2021

Languages have different concepts for conveying meanings; hence there is a problem in finding equivalents between the source language (SL) and the target language (TL) in the process of interpreting. The transfer of meaning is identified as one of the basic problems in interpreting due to the absence of equivalence between two languages. This paper identifies levels of equivalence in the interpretation of selected sermons from English into Luhya varieties. Data was collected through key-informant interviews of interpreters, Focus Group Discussions by the congregants, and the researcher’s non-participant observation during church services. An audio recorder was used to collect the corpus for analysis which was later transcribed and translated for analysis. Relevance Theory by Sperber and Wilson (1986) provided the background for the discussion of the data. The findings revealed the following levels of equivalence in the interpretation of English sermons into Luhya varieties; one to many, one to part-of-one and nil equivalence. Further, it was also revealed that interpreters need to identify these three levels of equivalence in interpreting English sermons into Luhya varieties to determine the appropriate measures to counteract the situation.
The Effect of Investigation Multiliteracy Method and Prior Ability on Learning Outcomes of Constructing Explanatory Texts Among Eleventh-Grade Students at SMA Posigadan State Senior High School
Authors: Malabar Sayama , Dali Meilina Widya
Published: May 2021

This study aims to describe the learning outcomes of constructing explanatory texts among eleventh-grade students taught by investigating the multiliteracy and conventional methods, the difference in learning outcomes of students taught by investigating the multiliteracy and conventional methods for those with a high and low prior ability, and the effect of investigation multiliteracy method and prior ability on learning outcomes in SMA Posigadan state senior high school. Furthermore, an experimental method was employed with a 2x2 factorial design. It was shown that (1) students taught by the investigation multiliteracy method got higher learning outcomes (an average score of 79) than those who studied using a conventional method with an average score of 62.81. (2) the average learning outcome of students with the high prior ability and taught by the investigation multiliteracy arrived at 78; no major difference from those with the high prior ability and relying on a conventional method (an average learning outcome of 75). Likewise, the average learning outcome of students with the low prior ability and taught by the investigation multiliteracy reached 52.81; no major difference from those with the low prior ability and studying with a conventional method (an average learning outcome of 46.94). (3) the p-value in the interaction between the investigation multiliteracy method and prior ability got 0.007 or less than α = 5%. Thus, H0 was rejected and accepted H1, meaning that the investigation multiliteracy method and prior ability influence students’ learning outcomes.

Published: May 2021

One of the most important topics for Kazakhstani universities in the context of internationalization of higher education is the successful adaptation of international students to a university setting. A high level of students' adaptation, socially and psychologically comfortable conditions for them may increase the number of international students in Kazakhstan from the perspective. The article analyzes the main aspects of international students` socio-cultural adaptation at the West Kazakhstan Marat Ospanov Medical University, Aktobe, the Republic of Kazakhstan (WKMU). A sociological survey was conducted among the Indian students of the Faculty of General Medicine. Challenges of international students at WKMU include the language barrier, the difference in assessment, and education systems in India and Kazakhstan. A favourable condition for the socio-cultural adaptation of international students at WKMU is the organization of intercultural interaction and cooperation of students in the educational space of the university. The results of the study are offered to be taken into consideration by administrative structures, responsible for supervising international students at the university.

Published: May 2021

This study will look through Bandura’s Social Learning Theory perspective on how parental influence predicts Filipino adolescents' externalizing behaviors. As children are impressionable, they observe their parents as role models; their behavior develops from childhood to adolescence is dependent on parental influence. With this in mind, the study’s research objectives aim to understand how parental influences, such as abusive and antisocial behavior, affect the adolescent’s externalizing behavior and the level of externalizing behaviors among Filipino adolescents living in Metro Manila, Philippines. The researchers then surveyed 202 Filipino adolescents residing in Metro Manila, answering a questionnaire that measured family characteristics, perceived abusive and antisocial behavior of parents, and self-assessed level of externalizing behaviors. The data gathered was processed through descriptive and inferential statistics, and the results concluded that family influence does have significance in the adolescent's externalizing behavior. In conclusion, through the Social Learning Theory and the data collected, the adolescent's externalizing behaviors are due to family influence.
Flipped Learning Approach: Mathematics Learning Achievement, Attitudes, and Self-Regulation
Authors: Arbuyes Hermilo Jr.
Published: May 2021

As a response to the advancement in modern technology, teaching techniques have also evolved over the years. That is why teachers adapted to these changes and tried to use more novel approaches to enhance the way students acquire information, learn, and meet their needs. One of these innovations and teaching trends is the flipped learning approach. The new lesson is implemented using this instructional approach, which requires students to watch videos at home for their lesson and complete their homework in class the next day, with the teacher facilitating and encouraging his or her students individually. Thus, this study was conducted with the general objective of determining the effectiveness of using the flipped learning approach in teaching mathematics and its effects on mathematics learning achievement, students' attitude, and level of self-regulation.  A pre-test – post-test quasi-experimental research design was used in this research. Data collection tools such as the researcher-made mathematics achievement test, "Attitudes Towards Mathematics Checklist," and "Academic Self-regulated Learning Scale" were administered to the two groups of grade-12 senior high school students who served as the experimental and the control groups as the basis of comparison. Results revealed that employing flipped learning as an approach to teaching mathematics positively affects students' mathematics learning achievement. It also impacts students' attitudes towards mathematics favorably and has also been proven to increase self-regulation levels. The T-test results revealed a significant difference between the post-test results of the control and experimental groups. It implies that the post-test scores of the students exposed to the flipped learning approach increased significantly. It also means that the experimental group is performing better as compared to the control group.
Cross Gender Oral Communication from Biological Difference and Socialized Identity to Mutual Understanding
Authors: Benfilali Ismail , Nadif Bendaoud , Khartite Brahim , Benattabou Driss , Bouih Abdelouahed
Published: May 2021

Language is an indispensable instrument whereby we organize and build our social ties in our communities, and society at large. Human language is critically interwoven into the processes whereby human beings communicate, build knowledge, transmit information, and determine the identity of both the addresser and the addressee in any communicational exchange. We could hypothetically assert that if there is unmistakably one thing without which man as a species can hardly live in the social realm, it is language par excellence. In an admittedly multi-layered and inherently complex sociolinguistic configuration, the individual speaker’s linguistic choice, the different roles he or she plays, be they in a position of addresser or addressee, and the various situations where the speech takes place do serve as markers reflecting one’s identity and communication styles. In this respect, factors such as sex, age, level of education, occupation, race, and geographical origin can virtually be reflected via one’s speech. This article sets out to analyze (1) the influential role of speech, (2) gender and identity, (3) dominance/difference, and (4) cross-gender oral communication in the Moroccan context using a homogenous convenience sample of Moroccan participants. This study falls within the scope of gender studies. Its major aim is to demonstrate the roles that mixed-gendered interlocutors can play in order to maintain effective communication. Therefore, their perceptions regarding interruptions, conversation dominance, turn-taking and choice of topics in conversations are analyzed. Different research instruments have been implemented to collect data including recordings of real-life conversational speech, classroom observation, and interviews. The findings indicate that gender-based differences permeate the conversational styles of both men and women across cultures and with divergent degrees of strength and expression. It has also been shown that although communication breakdown is a source of frustration, it remains a common phenomenon in social interactions. Therefore, overcoming difficulties in maintaining effective communication between members of different genders is dependent on the interlocutors’ belief that accepting difference in language and communication styles can make cross-gender communication a satisfactory social experience. This study is expected to raise awareness regarding the socialization processes the two sex groups have gone through which shape in substantial ways the way they speak, behave and interact among each other.
Understanding Social Justice Through Practitioners’ Language
Authors: Mills J Elizabeth , Kociubuk Jacqueline , Campana Kathleen
Published: May 2021

Researchers have recognized that aspects of social justice are present in library efforts by acknowledging the importance of using library programs and services to promote social justice and the significance of social justice for the LIS field. However, while public libraries have indicated a strong interest in reaching underserved communities, they may not yet possess a thorough understanding of various aspects of social justice, especially the concepts of equity, engagement, and empowerment, despite the increasing focus on social justice’s centrality in the library science field. This work-in-progress study presents a grounded theory analysis of twenty semi-structured interviews that were conducted as part of an existing study with library staff and their community partners (staff who work at organizations with which the libraries partner to offer outreach programs in the community). The analysis explores and unpacks practitioners’ language to demonstrate a complex, multifaceted portrait of how these practitioners describe equity, engagement, and empowerment. These practitioners express both broad and individual approaches to this social justice work in an effort to offer equal treatment to the whole community while also recognizing individual barriers. Moreover, they underscore the importance of a role for the community to play in achieving their own goals and strengthening connections between community members and institutions. This analysis yields a critical semantic foundation of social justice concepts, situated in practitioner understanding and prior research in social justice.
Engaging with Silences
Authors: Kitchens Joshua
Published: May 2021

(Article forthcoming)

This paper will discuss the theoretical framework and approach to educating archivists in the Clayton State Master of Archival Studies (MAS) program. The MAS program is an entirely online program based in the state of Georgia in the U.S. Across the curriculum of the MAS, we approached developing our curriculum to ensure that students engage with social justice issues through wrestling with archival silences. Through creating a theoretical framework, class discussion activities, and assignments, our hope is for our students to be prepared to engage with issues of representation in archival collections once they are in the field. This paper explains the basis for our approach and provides example assignments which other institutions can use as inspiration for their archival education curriculum.

For many, archival education emphasizes fundamentals. Archival educators and professionals seem most concerned with educating new archivists on topics such as how to preserve materials, how to provide access, and how to acquire materials. These activities are the work of archivists, but emphasis on the technical disguises the complexities of cultural, economic, and social issues that surround archival work. Technical archival work often silences the voices of many groups found within our collections through emphasizing standardization and mechanics of archival work. Student archivists need exposure to discussions that go beyond the technical. The MAS program does this by encouraging students to engage with the silences that occur during our work.

Developing marine and coastal resources in Nigeria: Prospects and challenges
Authors: Ateme Michael Efeturi
Published: May 2021

Nigeria, with a coastline of about 853 km bordering the Atlantic Ocean in the area of the Gulf of Guinea, has a maritime area of about 46,000 km2, with significant and diverse natural marine resources. The country has numerous economic activities, in which the highest percentage depends on or is derived from the ocean resources, but it is explicitly clear that her blue economy potentials are far from being fully harnessed. The Nigerian maritime domain is rich with a variety of resources that support livelihoods and economic development. These include established activities like fisheries, shipping, offshore oil and gas, maritime and coastal tourism, marine manufacturing and construction, dredging, etc., and emerging activities such as marine aquaculture, deep and ultra-deepwater oil and gas, offshore wind energy, ocean renewable energy, marine and seabed mining, etc. The main purpose of this paper was to qualitatively investigate the prospects and challenges in developing marine resources in Nigeria and to suggest necessary recommendations. Existing literatures and documents from secondary sources were reviewed. The paper revealed that the challenges in harnessing marine resources in Nigeria are an inadequate scientific data bank, inconsistent government policy, climate change, and inadequate manpower. This paper recommends that the government need to enhance targeted capacity building, particularly at the policy, institutional, legal, and technical levels, for developing coastal states. This may result in effective exploration and mining, which may lead to sustainable marine resources.
REFLECTIONS OF SOUTH AFRICAN TEACHERS TEACHING UNDER ADVERSARIAL CONDITIONS
Authors: Bansilal Sarah , Rosenberg Thelma
Published: May 2021

Teachers often teach under difficult conditions of which they do not have oversight. In order for teacher development programmes to be responsive to teachers’ needs, it is necessary to understand the teaching contexts of their participant teachers. Accordingly the purpose of the research was to identify the problems of practice reported by 41 Mathematical Literacy teachers who teach under impoverished conditions in South Africa. The participants identified their problems of practice and focused on one problem which they tried to address during a two-week teaching intervention. They were required to generate a reflective research report based on their teaching intervention, which formed the primary data source. The findings indicate that of the 305 citations of problems, 174 were attributed to socio-economic factors, 111 to pedagogic factors and 51 to school management factors. With most of these problems being out of their locus of control, these teachers are forced to spend time dealing with the consequences of these problems, instead of focusing their energy to find ways to improve their pedagogic practice. Teacher development agencies need to consider how such teachers could be more appropriately supported.
Key words: classroom practice, non-prototype classes, problems of practice, teacher learning.
SMALL GROUP LEARNING METHODS AND THEIR EFFECT ON LEARNERS’ RELATIONSHIPS
Authors: Borůvková Radka , Emanovský Petr
Published: May 2021

Building relationships in the classroom is an essential part of any teacher's career. Having healthy teacher-to-learner and learner-to-learner relationships is an effective way to help prevent pedagogical failure, social conflict and quarrelsome behavior. Many strategies are available that can be used to achieve good long-lasting relationships in the classroom setting. Successful teachers’ pedagogical work in the classroom requires detailed knowledge of learners’ relationships. Good understanding of the relationships is necessary, especially in the case of teenagers’ class. This sensitive period of adolescence demands attention of all teachers who should deal with the problems of their learners. Special care should be focused on children that are out of their classmates’ interest (so called isolated learners or isolates) in such class and on possibilities to integrate them into the class. Natural idea how to do it is that of using some modern non-traditional teaching/learning methods, especially the methods based on work in small groups involving learners’ cooperation. Small group education (especially problem-based learning, project-based learning, cooperative learning, collaborative learning or inquire-based learning) as one of these methods involves a high degree of interaction. The effectiveness of learning groups is determined by the extent to which the interaction enables members to clarify their own understanding, build upon each other's contributions, sift out meanings, ask and answer questions. An influence of this kind of methods (especially cooperative learning (CL)) on learners’ relationships was a subject of the further described research. Within the small group education, students work with their classmates to solve complex and authentic problems that help develop content knowledge as well as problem-solving, reasoning, communication, and self-assessment skills. The aim of the research was to answer the question: Can the cooperative learning methods help to integrate isolated learners into the class? The research was realized as a pre-test-post-test design for the sample of 207 learners of first, second and third grades of lower secondary school. Standardized sociometric questionnaire B-3 was used to determine the number of isolated learners before and after using the CL methods. Consequently, using the Wilcoxon statistic test of significance, the hypothesis was verified that the number of isolates after the CL methods is statistically significantly lower than that of the case before using the non-traditional teaching/learning method. Accordingly, the research results justify implementation CL methods into education. Key words: cooperative learning, isolated learners, learners’ relationships, small group learning methods, sociometric methods.

The principles of the construction and operation of a digital synthesizer for direct frequency synthesis with acceleration of computational operations by using a residual class system (RNS) are considered. The specifics of the implementation of the operation of direct and inverse transformations from the positional number system to the number system of the residual classes are described. A mathematical model of a synthesizer with a phase accumulator in the system of residual classes is considered. The ways of designing a digital synthesizer of direct synthesis with a phase accumulator in the RNS system and a sinusoidal DAC are considered. In traditional schemes, the conversion of residuals to the value of an analog signal occurs in several stages, where conversion to a binary system is one of the stages. This procedure degrades the speed of the RNS system, adding additional constraints and increasing the waiting time for the conversion result. Methods of converting from RNS to binary number system for basic operations are considered. A DDS design with a phase accumulator in the residual class system and a converter to an analog signal form without using a slow ROM is proposed. The problems of efficient use of the synthesizer crystal area and reduction of delays in the formation of the output signal are considered. A study of one of the main functional blocks of a direct digital frequency synthesizer, a digital-to-analog converter, has been carried out. The architecture of a direct digital frequency synthesizer with a DAC direct conversion from a non-positional number system to an analog signal is proposed. The main sources of noise generation in digital computational synthesizers of the proposed type are investigated. A mathematical model is proposed for calculating the power spectral density of phase noise, which will allow analyzing the noise characteristics in synthesizers built on the indicated principles.

The main task when designing 802.11 wireless networks is to create access with the highest possible channel bandwidth for an individual subscriber. This problem is solved in two ways: calculation and test diagnostics of networks at the design stage; optimization of networks during operation based on technical diagnostics and monitoring. This paper investigates and clarifies the existing terminology for technical diagnostics and control for 802.11 wireless channels. As a result, it is established that radio monitoring is the first stage of technical diagnostics on the basis of which it is possible to obtain statistical characteristics about the change of channel parameters over time. The second stage includes models and methods of analysis and evaluation of channel parameters, considering the influence of various destabilizing factors with control operations. Based on the obtained terminology, a structural-consequential diagnostic model was proposed for the 802.11 wireless channel, which provides a formalized description of the object needed to solve the problems of diagnosis and control. The model uses the general structure of the channel and physical layer of the 802.11 standard and energy and information diagnostic parameters, which is valid for any wireless channel. The level of reliability of technical diagnostics of wireless channels is provided due to the built-in means of monitoring of subscriber devices, the number of input parameters and the observation period. In addition, an assessment of the suitability of the channel for traffic transmission is provided, which involves comparing the bit rate with the obtained technical diagnostic data. This is relevant in the current trends of improving the quality of modern infocommunication services, which significantly increases the bandwidth requirements of channels. The proposed model of technical diagnostics is a concept of methodology. It includes the use of: improved and new developed by the author's own methodological approaches to conducting research on wireless channels; acquired new knowledge about the operation of these channels under the influence of phenomena existing in the transmission medium; new models and methods for estimating energy and information parameters and the relationships between them; methods of evaluation and statistical processing of theoretical and empirical research.

Cybersecurity of information and communication technologies (hereinafter - ICT) is a key issue for maintaining the functioning and security of the digital economy and public administration in the soon. An important role in the field of cybersecurity is played by the conformity assessment (certification) of cybersecurity. This may apply to the cybersecurity of ICT components, products, equipment, services and processes, to the cybersecurity of cloud services, to the cybersecurity of technological processes, to personal competence in the field of cybersecurity, and so on. Cybersecurity certification rules, procedures, and management establish a certification scheme, and a set of rules and procedures for managing similar or related conformity assessment schemes form a certification system. Creating cybersecurity certification schemes is a priority and relevant today. There are now a number of systems and assessment standards that can be applied to cybersecurity certification, but they do not ensure mutual recognition of test laboratory test and evaluation procedures and results, and the pursuit of harmonized and comparable cybersecurity assessment and implementation procedures. This situation is a global problem. Accordingly, the current legislation of Ukraine in the field of cybersecurity sets tasks for the application of the best international and European principles of conformity assessment of information and cybersecurity. The creation of cybersecurity certification systems and schemes based on international and European principles of conformity assessment requires appropriate scientific and methodological support. The article proposes a hierarchical model of assessment standards for the cybersecurity certification system and a hierarchical model of agreements on mutual recognition of cybersecurity certificates. Also, in the article, based on these models, the basics of the Cyber Security Certification System and Cyber Security Certification Schemes for ICT products and cloud services are proposed, with an emphasis on such elements as: assessment standards; accreditation of certification bodies; mutual recognition of certification results
