In der wissenschaftlichen Fachkommunikation wird meistens vom wissenschaftlichen Artikel Gebrauch gemacht. Die lettischen wissenschaftlichen Artikel zeichnen sich bei unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Fachrichtungen und auch bei ihren einzelnen Disziplinen durch verschiedene Textbausteine aus, die eventuell von Traditionen des Fachs oder der Fachgruppe, von den globalen Tendenzen in der Wissenschaft und den eventuellen Kontaktsprachen wie Englisch, Russisch und Deutsch abhängig sind. Die Untersuchungen des wissenschaftlichen Artikels in der lettischen Sprache sind kaum vollzogen worden. Aus diesem Grunde stellt der vorliegende Beitrag die linguistische Untersuchung der Textbausteine der lettischen geisteswissenschaftlichen Artikel anhand der korpuslinguistischen Verfahren dar.
Zur Untersuchung der Makrostruktur der lettischen wissenschaftlichen Artikel in den Geisteswissenschaften wird der Teiltextkorpus des Forschungsprojektes „Lettische Wissenschaftssprache unter interlingualem Aspekt“ benutzt, der im Rahmen des Projektes 2018–2019 angelegt wurde. Beschrieben werden dabei die Kriterien für die Textauswahl und der erstellte Teiltextkorpus, der 251 Artikel aus den geisteswissenschaftlichen Teildisziplinen beinhaltet. Im Weiteren wird die makrostrukturelle Analyse der wissenschaftlichen Artikel aus den geisteswissenschaftlichen Fächergruppen wie Geschichte und Archäologie, Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft sowie Philosophie, Ethik und Religion dargelegt.
Aus der vorliegenden Untersuchung lässt sich schlussfolgern, dass die lettischen wissenschaftlichen Artikel der untersuchten geisteswissenschaftlichen Fächer vorwiegend grobe dreigliedrige Struktur mit der Einleitung, dem Hauptteil und dem Schluss aufweisen. Unter den geisteswissenschaftlichen Fächergruppen treten aber die Ähnlichkeiten und die Unterschiede des Textaufbaus hervor, die vom Fach und von der untersuchten Fragestellung, dem Thema oder dem Themaaspekt bedingt werden. Abschließend lässt sich der nicht so stark konventionalisierte Textaufbau der geisteswissenschaftlichen Artikel im Lettischen nachweisen.
Sociocultural Component and Stereotypes in the Spanish as a Foreign Language Classroom: An Analysis of the Male and Female Presence in Textbooks
Authors: Cabrera Romero Lucía
Published: January 2021

Šis kvantitatīvais un kvalitatīvais pētījums par sieviešu un vīriešu reprezentāciju ir balstīts uz mūsdienu spāņu valodas kā svešvalodas mācību grāmatu korpusu. Pētījumā analizētas fotogrāfijas un attēli ar sievietēm un meitenēm, vīriešiem un zēniem, īpašu uzmanību pievēršot tam, ko viņi dara, sociokultūras kontekstam, viņu spēlētajai lomai un objektiem, kas viņiem apkārt. Iegūtie rezultāti tika salīdzināti ar Spāņu Sieviešu institūta publicētajiem 1996. gadā par sieviešu reprezentāciju skolotāju grāmatās. Lai atklātu, kādas ir sociokultūras komponenta izmaiņas, šajā pētījumā iekļautas pārdomas par iespējamajiem sociokultūras stereotipiem spāņu valodas kā svešvalodas mācību grāmatās un to izmaiņām. Šīs analīzes rezultāti var radīt priekšlikumus mācīšanai bez stereotipiem.
Rezultāti ir iedalīti astoņās kategorijās, ko nosaka Servantesa institūta mācību programma. Var secināt, ka notikuši būtiski uzlabojumi tajā, kā reprezentēti vīrieši mājas darbos un sievietes darbā un profesionālajā dzīvē. Tomēr atsevišķās jomās, piemēram, sportā un politikā, vēl arvien trūkst sieviešu reprezentācijas. Ja arī sievietes tiek attēlotas, kvalitatīvā analīze atklāj noteiktas klišejas, piemēram, sievietes nodarbojas ar sportu mājās, bet vīrieši – brīvā dabā, spēlējot komandā. Tāpēc jāsecina, ka vēl arvien esam tālu no mācīšanas bez sterotipiem, kā ieteikts "Eiropas kopīgajās pamatnostādnēs valodu apguvei".

Every discipline of science has its specifics, and this article strives to explore the specifics of the language used in social science articles written in Latvian. Social sciences affect how our society works; therefore, scientific findings could be important for policy decisions. The material analysed in this article is based on a qualitative analysis of select articles from a corpus of social sciences texts. It is the first large scale text corpus that has collected open access scientific articles published in Latvian. The present article describes language use specifics in social sciences: psychology, economics and business, education, and law. Scientific texts are often created with publishing guidelines in mind, but the individual styles of their authors can still be reflected in the text. Each discipline of science shows unique text creation and language use patterns. Some of these patterns, such as a logical structure in psychology and economics and business, could have been anticipated, however, aspects like the use of informal language in law texts is an unexpected finding. This brief insight into the social science articles in Latvian could be a starting point for more discipline-specific scientific text research in Latvian.

The paper describes the results of a study conducted in order to detect potential false friends in Management Science doctoral thesis summary translations in English and Latvian, as well as the actual cases when false friends have been found in the mentioned texts. In order to do so, the author has explored the existing literature and summarised the classifications of false friends offered in the state-of-the-art literature in Latvia and abroad. The types of semantic relationships for Latvian and English word pairs have been analysed, and finally, the cases of false friends existing in the translations of Management Science doctoral dissertation summaries defended during the period from 2013 to 2019 have been singled out. The present research has been carried out in order to facilitate the writing and translating of the dissertations in English and Latvian.
In the Management Science doctoral thesis summary translations from Latvian into English as well as in the recommendations of the faculties and programmes, false friends have been detected. In the translations from English into Latvian, in turn, it has been found that linguists are not always of the same opinion in respect to the translation of terms, which might be explained by the fact that thorough research of the language of science in Latvia started a relatively short time ago, namely in the 1990s, and is being carried out in very few institutions. Given the presence of false friends detected in the already defended Management Science doctoral dissertation summaries, it can be concluded that the phenomenon of false friends needs to be researched further to help researchers and translators avoid them.

The existence of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) in the constitutional structure in Indonesiacan strengthen the parliamentary system which in turn can strengthen democracy. The substance of regionalrepresentation in the DPD is the accommodation of regional interests which is guaranteed constitutionallyand elaborated with laws and regulations. This study is to analyze the reconstruction of DPD’s regulatoryfunctions in the fields of legislation, supervision and consideration. The regulation of DPD functions in thefield of legislation, supervision, must be reconstructed in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesiawith the formulation of “legislative and oversight power exercised by the DPR and DPD” which is to replacethe regulation of the DPD function in the legislative field which is limited to filing bills and participating indiscussions at level I, but do not have authority for the decision making stage. Also the DPD does not havea supervisory function, because the DPD cannot follow up on the results of supervision and the follow-upto the results of supervision is a political and legal determination by the DPR (House of Representatives).
TMEM121 Protein Is a RegulatIon Factor in the Proliferation Activity of the Adrenocortical stem/Progenitor Cells

Published: January 2021

Several studies have identified adrenocortical sub-population cells located in the capsule/sub-capsular area,carrying the aspects of stem/progenitor cells. We previously recognized a novel protein (Tmem121) highlyexpressed in in this sub capsular area and also highly co-localised with Ki67 in this area. The suggestionof these previous studies was considered to clone and transfect Tmem121 into adrenocortical stem/progenitor cells studying the proliferation changes in the transfected cells. Adrenocortical stem/progenitorcells were isolated and cultivated in vitro. The cells were previously isolated and prepared for testing theeffect of Tmem121 after three months of in vitro cultivation. Specific primers were used to detect andamplified the coding sequence of the TMEM121 using RT-PCR followed by cloning into pIRES2-ERFPvector. Immunocytofluorescent tests were carried out to detect the forced expression of TMEM121 intothese cells. Real time PCR assays were followed with specific primers to detect the synchronization ofTmem121 expression with two proliferation markers Ki67 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA).Immunocytofluorescent tests results showed a significant expression of TMEM121 into these cells. Realtime PCR results showed a significant increase in the expression of both proliferation markers Ki67 and(PCNA). These results suggested a propagating effect of TMEM121 to the adrenocortical stem/progenitorcells.

Around 40.9 million Indonesians live in landslide prone areas. In the Ponorogo regency of the East Java province, there are 9 sub-districts that have been designated as landslide prone areas with the mild to severe category. One of the villages has experienced landslides in 2017, Banaran village of Pulung district, which 28 villagers became victim and 23 houses buried. Children are virtually one of the most vulnerable groups to being affected by disasters. The vulnerability of children to disasters is triggered by a limited risk understanding which results in a lack of preparedness in facing disasters. Achieving school preparedness is very important considering that Indonesia is a country with a high risk of disasters. It is very important to raise awareness of disasters as early as possible to minimize the impact of disaster risks. The preparedness of the school component is still below expectations, the regulations formed by providing education and simulations to students about disaster response and the impact of disasters are able to reduce disaster risk considering that children are one of the vulnerable groups. We counseled students of SDN Bekiring in Ponorogo to instill their understanding about landslide disaster mitigation.

Sekitar 40,9 juta penduduk Indonesia tinggal di daerah rawan longsor. Di Kabupaten Ponorogo Provinsi Jawa Timur, terdapat 9 kecamatan yang telah ditetapkan sebagai daerah rawan longsor dengan kategori ringan sampai berat. Salah satu desa yang pernah mengalami longsor pada tahun 2017 adalah Desa Banaran Kecamatan Pulung yang mengakibatkan 28 warga menjadi korban dan 23 rumah tertimbun. Anak-anak sebenarnya merupakan salah satu kelompok yang paling rentan terkena bencana. Kerentanan anak terhadap bencana dipicu oleh pemahaman risiko yang terbatas yang berakibat pada kurangnya kesiapsiagaan dalam menghadapi bencana. Mewujudkan kesiapsiagaan sekolah menjadi sangat penting mengingat Indonesia merupakan negara dengan risiko bencana yang tinggi. Sangat penting untuk meningkatkan kesadaran bencana sedini mungkin untuk meminimalkan dampak risiko bencana. Kesiapsiagaan komponen sekolah masih dibawah ekspektasi, regulasi yang dibentuk dengan memberikan edukasi dan simulasi kepada siswa tentang tanggap bencana dan dampak bencana mampu mengurangi risiko bencana mengingat anak merupakan salah satu kelompok rentan. Kami mendampingi siswa SDN Bekiring di Ponorogo untuk menanamkan pemahaman tentang mitigasi bencana longsor.

Peningkatan Pengetahuan Ibu Nifas tentang Manajemen ASI Perah di Kabupaten Bangka Tengah
Authors: Yanti Eka Safitri
Published: January 2021

Exclusive breastfeeding coverage is still low in Central Bangka Regency. One of the factors causing this is the lack of public knowledge about the management of stored breast milk. Therefore, the team provides counseling on the management of breast milk for Posyandu cadres as well as pregnant and lactating mothers in Tanjung Gunung Village, Central Bangka Regency. After the counseling was carried out, there was a positive impact on the knowledge of mothers about the management of stored breast milk. The statistical results also showed that there was a significant difference between the scores of mothers’ knowledge before and after counseling (p = 0.042). Thus, this activity can be one of the efforts to increase the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding. However, these efforts must also continue to be supported by both the community, community leaders and local health workers. For village officials and the health office, the results of this community service can be used as a medium for policy making, especially on maternal and infant health.

Cakupan ASI eksklusif masih tergolong rendah pada Kabupaten Bangka Tengah. Salah satu faktor yang menjadi penyebab hal ini adalah masih rendahnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang ASI perah. Oleh karena itu, tim pengabdi memberikan penyuluhan tentang manajemen ASI Perah terhadap kader Posyandu serta ibu hamil dan menyusui di Desa Tanjung Gunung Kabupaten Bangka Tengah. Setelah dilakukan penyuluhan tersebut, ada dampak positif terhadap pengetahuan ibu tentang manajemen ASI perah. Hasil statistik juga menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna antara skor pengetahuan ibu sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan penyuluhan (p=0,042). Dengan demikian, kegiatan penyuluhan ini dapat menjadi salah satu dari upaya untuk meningkatkan cakupan ASI eksklusif. Namun, upaya ini juga harus terus didukung baik oleh masyarakat, tokoh masyarakat maupun petugas kesehatan setempat. Bagi perangkat desa dan dinas kesehatan, hasil pengabdian masyarakat ini dapat dijadikan salah satu media untuk pengambilan kebijakan terutama pada kesehatan ibu dan bayi.

Kinetic study of carbazole degradation by free and immobilized Thalassospira profundimaris
Authors: Othman Putera Nik Aiman Mustaqim , Inayatullah Othman
Published: January 2021

Carbazole, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), is a hazardous compound and a pollutant that can mainly be found in the petroleum industry. This pollutant can be treated in many ways and one of it is known as bioremediation. A method of using degrading-cell-organism, Thalassospira profundimaris, that is able to consume the pollutant as its food source and produce metabolite, harmless substance in exchange, splits into two ways which are using the cell as free cell and the other is using it as immobilized cell. There are many factors that are affecting the performance of the cell degradation. In this study, initial concentration of carbazole and agitation speed parameters have been tested and kinetic models built based on the results of this study. This study found that in term of initial concentration of carbazole, the performance of degradation cell is better on immobilized cell but not so significant based on kinetic models built. However, addition of good mixing quality enhanced the degradation performance significantly when the agitation speed is in range of 100 revolution per minute (rpm) and below.

The use of MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) has become very popular in the past few years. Such courses can teach a large variety of skills, including the basics of virtual mobilities, both for students and teachers. The Open VMLH (Virtual Mobility Learning Hub) is an innovative multilingual environment which was created as part of the Erasmus+ Open Virtual Mobility project, with the purpose to promote collaborative learning, social connectivism and networking as an instructional method, OERs as the main content, and open digital credentials. In this paper, we will present the usability evaluation of the Open VMLH mobile application, a mix of heuristic and cognitive evaluation methods. Some of the issues discovered are related to the general interface and functionality of the mobile application, while others are related to the structure of the courses and the implementation of the content, but just a couple of them are critical for the user experience.
Towards a Post Covid-19 Digital Authentic Assessment Practice: When Radical Changes Enhance the Student Experience
Authors: Hatzipanagos Stylianos , Tait Alan , Amrane-Cooper Linda
Published: January 2021

In 2020, the Higher Education sector, in the UK and internationally, had to move to online assessment because of the Covid-19 pandemic, at a speed and scale which might have been unimaginable under normal circumstances. By upscaling and accelerating the adoption of digital assessment practices in distance and online education across the world, educators had to rethink assessment processes to make sure they were an integral part of the authentic digital life experience for students and staff. As these changes appear to be far from temporary, they have accelerated the transition to a “new normal” regime of assessing students online for the foreseeable future. The priority in the sector is that fundamental principles of assessment including integrity and authenticity are supported in the design and implementation of assessments. In addition ensuring that no student is disadvantaged in accessing digital learning opportunities, when they are assessed. The paper discusses a project that collected data about three final assessment routes students have taken. The aim was to generate understanding of this transition to online assessment, primarily from the perspective of the experience of the students who have been affected. Our findings explore student agreement with this transition to online assessment and provide an opportunity to understand student approaches to assessment and what they would like to see in future assessments. Finally we explore the implications for practice in distance learning and campus based environments and for the sector.
Shaping the Next Normal – Explorative Expert Survey Among Teachers
Authors: Ehlers Ulf-Daniel , Bonaudo Patricia
Published: January 2021

The Covid 19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the importance of digital HEI teaching. The digitisation of a course of study poses many challenges for teachers. This paper presents the results of a survey of lecturers at the DHBW (Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University). Challenges and opportunities were examined in order to derive recommendations for good digital teaching for the future. This paper is based on three pillars: (a) recommendations for good online teaching, (b) a list of the institutional support requirements, and (c) a foresight on the future of digital teaching. In summary, it can be seen that teaching concepts have changed fundamentally as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. While some courses have been converted to online frontal teaching, other formats promote the self-learning process of students by emphasising self-study, with teachers moving away from the classic role of knowledge mediators and increasingly acting as coaches. This can be seen as an effort to make the best possible use of the new conditions created by the pandemic in order to move higher education teaching from pure knowledge transfer to competence transfer. The aim of the present analysis is to promote the digitization of courses in the long term and to make lasting improvements. The results should help teachers to design their courses efficiently and in a way that is appropriate for the target group and to improve the quality of teaching in the long term.

Inspired by the impact of open education and MOOCs, traditional higher education institutions began embracing technology-enhanced learning and online education. The growing competition from these universities, as well as of new non-formal providers, have resulted for the OUs in the decrease in student numbers, especially in Europe and North America. With the closing down of campuses due to Covid-19, this growing movement was noticeably accelerated. As higher education prepares for the new normal, how may the European OU remain socially relevant and competitive? Are they still indispensable for assuring quality education opportunities for all, as a growing number of critics question? In this paper we analyse the impact of the pandemic on European OU, discuss possible strategies to meet the challenges of a rapidly transforming higher education landscape, and identify potential trends and models for future development.

Authors: Giacosa Antonella
Published: January 2021

The shift of the entire education system onto digital platforms due to the coronavirus emergency has made lecturers and students massively experience digital teaching and learning, its challenges and possibilities. As with another possible lockdown looming on the new academic year Emergency response education (ERE) might have to be turned into the new normal of distance learning, the wisdom learned by the massive online experience of the last semester could contribute to planning a nimble response to educational needs in case universities have to shift online again. This paper aims at contributing to the discussion on key literacies lecturers might find useful to turn ERE into quality distance education. 24 full professors of English and English linguistics courses from 14 Italian universities have filled in an online questionnaire investigating the challenges and opportunities they have experienced during the emergency which shed light on the multiple literacies they should focus on to plan an effective response to a new emergency, which at the same time could make high school education “smarter” both in-person and online.

Authors: Mosia Ngaka
Published: January 2021

The research article reports on curriculum quality for an ODL setting in the context of a digital era, from a perspective of a broader educational stakeholder environment. The literature research paper ask the question with regards to divergent, dynamic and sometimes conflicting perspectives and agendas of different stakeholders in the broader education spectrum in an ODL setting. The research paper establishes a thought pattern in searching for the best answer or a compromise with regard to stakeholder agendas by illustrating and engaging in an applicable thought pattern on how evaluation and adjustment operate in an ODL curriculum model. The article asks and addresses specific issues about what is so special about ODL and therefore the value of stakeholder agenda and perspectives in curriculum development. The article assumes that there is a natural sequence in which to work in curriculum development and therefore identifies the research questions that has not been addressed sufficiently in literature with regard to the inter-connectedness and alignment of the components of curriculum development. Going through this analysis, the research will allude to the stakeholder agendas and therefore address the specific areas of compromise in curriculum development. The research adopts a qualitative case study research method.

Authors: Khanna Pankaj
Published: January 2021

An effective classification and coding system has been designed, developed, and implemented in one of the world’s mega universities, named IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University). This system classifies and categorises the various courses of each programme depending upon the nature and description of the courses involved. A suitable and acceptable numbering convention system has been structured for the academic programmes and courses involved. The codes assigned are found to be quite versatile and helps to quickly identify the course level, discipline, and revision version, etc. Also colour codes have been provided in the coding system presented since colours are found to be the unique and commercial medium that appeals to all visually and sensitizes mind quickly and differently. The classification and coding system presented takes care of any ambiguity that may arise while providing data and information, and communicating with internal and external agencies/stakeholders that include learners, teaching, and administrative university staff. The system presented would also be quite helpful for (a) Study material printing division of the university in sorting effectively and quickly supplying the study material to the learners, and, (b) Examination division of the university in quickly and efficiently scheduling the examination datasheets without and overlapping. The classification coding system acts as an effective quality management information tool to make an informed decision to resolve the various day-today challenges in managing and monitoring the university academic programmes and courses. Further, the presented system would facilitate to improve the overall working efficiency of the university education system and help to provide quality education system to its learners.

The aim of this project is (c) describe the situation of middle-aged and older women in the Andalusian Digital Society and learn about their experiences with digital technologies. Mixed-type research has been developed from a survey studies and qualitative studies based on techno-autobiographical interviews and thinking aloud protocols. The final sample was made up of 1340 women for the MAIA Project and specifically 478 in rural areas for the RURAL WOMEN Project. The results show a moderate degree of digital inclusion of women. The results point to the research offers a detailed knowledge of the role that current digital technologies are playing in the lives of a wide diversity of women. The results show different learning ecologies from the women with different profiles. The results are shown in detail in the book Jiménez-Cortés et al. (2016). At the same time, the research shows that participation in democratic processes online has the potential to improve the quality of life of women and gives them greater control over their lives and satisfaction. This knowledge allows women to prepare for an active and full digital citizenship, which brings them well-being. The results are shown in detail in other papers (Jiménez-Cortés, 2015; 2016). The expected results of the ALCMENA Project will show processes of digital empowerment and strategies of middle-aged and older women that serve as a reference to guide the actions of interested social agents and institutions.
