Authors: Shahab Mohammed Luqman , Saeed Karwan Mustafa
Published: December 2024

This study focuses on addressing the influence that written corrective feedback (WCF) has on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Therefore, this research endeavored to give more clarity on the challenges ahead of EFL lecturers in providing WCF and explored the types of WCF (direct/indirect), as well as the lecturers’ opinions on the effectiveness of each type. For this reason, a qualitative inquiry was used to analyze EFL lecturers’ experiences with providing direct/indirect WCF. To this end, 7 Kurdish EFL lecturers from a public university in Kurdistan Region in Iraq (KRI) voluntarily participated in a semi-structured interview session to answer several open-ended questions. The gathered data was audio-recorded and analyzed through utilizing the Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis. The findings highlighted various challenges that Kurdish EFL lecturers face including time constraints, students’ lack of comprehension, different learning styles, paper space limitations, difficulty in balancing quality and quantity, and cultural differences. We also found that students preferred direct feedback due to its simplicity and ease of understanding. However, preference for neither type of feedback was also considered by some lecturers. Importantly, the results of the study revealed that offering excessive feedback may decrease the student’s confidence and ability. Limitations include the need for Kurdish undergraduates’ perspectives and larger quantitative studies to further assess the effectiveness of WCF.
“Engaging with Paradigmatic Stances in Social Science Research”: A Book Review of Bunmi Omodan’s Research Paradigms and Their Methodological Alignment in Social Sciences
Authors: Romm Norma R. A.
Published: December 2024

In the book, Research Paradigms and Their Methodological Alignment in Social Sciences, Bunmi Omodan explores in depth the philosophical foundations of five paradigms (which he points out are not fixed or univocal in their content), namely positivism; interpretivism/constructivism; transformative paradigm; postcolonial Indigenous paradigm; and pragmatism. Examples of the kinds of research questions, research designs, and attendant data collection and analytic processes, as well as ethical positions, that align with paradigmatic positions are presented to us. At the same time, we are urged to “engage with critiques and debates surrounding each paradigm” (Omodan, 2024, p. xii). The book thus hopes to shed light on, while contributing to, “ongoing intellectual dialogues within the field [of social research]” (Omodan, 2024, p. xii). The book re-opens discussion on topics such as: the meaning of “objectivity”; the role of the “subjectivity” of researchers in engagement with research participants, as admitted within certain paradigms; the need to critically reflect on the consequences for research participants and the wider society(ies) of the research endeavor (which he urges us all to take seriously); the possible commitment to social justice as part of a research agenda (as advocated specifically within the transformative paradigm); and the importance of appreciating the historical context in which all paradigms have arisen (and evolved), including the postcolonial Indigenous one. As he puts it, this latter paradigm “acknowledges that colonialism is not a thing of the past but continues to shape Indigenous realities [of those historically and currently affected] in various forms” (p. 119). Omodan endeavors to navigate the difficult course between trying to give credence to all the paradigms which he discusses, while urging us to continue to reflect upon the consequences of how we invoke them. He also subtly introduces as a general ethical guideline that we should (as expressly advised within transformative and Indigenous paradigms), reflect upon how research can be designed to “provide a space for inclusive decision making and co-learning, cultivating an environment where [professional] researchers’ and community members’ insights and wisdom are valued” (Omodan, 2024, p. 128).

Published: December 2024

In this paper, the basic concepts of digital twins and isolated environments
are first described, with a special focus on applications in power engineering and
SCADA/EMS systems. An isolated environment is a set of cybersecurity measures that
involve creating an environment, known as a „sandbox“, in which it is possible to run,
test, and analyze code or an application without affecting the rest of the application, other
applications, systems, or networks. A digital twin involves creating a virtual environment
that reflects the behavior of a physical system, allowing testing and analysis without
affecting the actual physical system. The concept and term digital twin have been used
since the beginning of this century. The application of the term digital twin in power
system technology has become very popular in recent years, however, this does not mean
that digital twins are a completely new concept in power system technology, as power
system models widely used in power system applications (EMS) often, but not always,
represent digital twins of the physical power system. This paper provides an overview and
description of the application of isolated environments and digital twins within the
technical solutions and work packages of the Horizon EU project „Reliability, Resilience
and Defense Technology for the Grid-R2D2“ (Grant agreement ID: 101075714), as well as
the method of their analysis and testing.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SAFETY AND SECURITY STANDARDS IN THE FIELD OF OPERATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES
Authors:   DORNIER GROUP EAST d.o.o., Belgrade, Serbia, Đokić Vladan
Published: December 2024

The paper presents general approaches and methods for the
implementation of safety and security standards in the power generation, transmission
and distribution.
Over the past twenty years, numerous power plants in the Republic of Serbia both,
thermal and hydro as well in transmision and distribution facilities, have replaced the
obsolete control systems with the new microprocessor-based systems.
By introducing the new process control technologies that rapidly evolve, the
standardized approach in which the functionality of these technologies is regulated must
be applied and monitored.
In the 21st century, a century of digitization, an approach has been established that,
when it comes to the entire energy sector, and especially the power generation and
power transmission industry, the information technologies used in process control must
have distinctive and standardized development. This new field of information
technologies used in process control is named Operational Technologies (OT).
Implementation and operation according to the valid and relevant standards for these
areas requires a wider approach and includes human resources from managerial to
technical level in the production processes throughout the entire lifecycle of the control
systems.
In this paper, the important steps in a way of implementation and the use of the
relevant Functional Safety standards and Cyber Security standards are highlighted.
Implementation of these standards, along with the already initiated implementation
of standards in the field of Information Technology in EPS, will frame a comprehensive
approach to the more efficient and reliable operation of the production facilities, higher
energy efficiency, more efficient risk mitigation, reduction of forced shutdowns and
negative environmental impact.

Electric power systems use precise timing to monitor the network, to
coordinate work and integrate different parts of the network, as well as to protect the
network, i.e. in order to analyze the resulting disturbances and prevent the eventual
breakdown of the system. There is also an increasing share of distributed energy resources
(DER - Distributed Energy Resources), which requires better insight into the status of the
system, as well as faster identification and elimination of errors. Due to the mentioned
reasons, and the increasing application of the IEC61850 standard in devices,
synchronization of their time with a precision better than 1ms is required, which enables
the application of the IEEE 1588v2 protocol (PTP - Precision Time Protocol). The paper
presents the possibilities of implementing the PTP protocol within the CPU module of the
TZ-600 teleprotection device adapted to work according to the IEC 61850 standard. It
also presents testing of the protocol within one implementation.

Authors: Awad Siraj Ribhi , Nuraryo Imam , Idrus Mustafa Habibie
Published: December 2024

The decision to study abroad is driven by the desire to get a better education, expand their network, and experience different lives and cultures. All of these are expected to contribute positively to their personal and professional development in the future. Most Indonesian students study in Egypt because they are studying Religious Studies, especially Islam. However, there are actually many Indonesian students who study in Egypt not only studying religious studies. There are several key theories that are often used to understand the cross-cultural adaptation process for students abroad, including; U-Curve Theory, Stress and Adaptation Theory, and Intercultural Communication Theory. The research method used in writing this paper is secondary data analysis. Numerical data such as census data, crime statistics, sales data, or quantitative survey results. Data in the form of interviews, transcripts, documentation, or notes that have been collected previously and can be reused in new analyses. The journey of Indonesian students to study in Egypt certainly faces various challenges. The challenge was faced by him during the registration process to the selection which is known to be quite strict. The cultural differences faced by Indonesian students in Egypt are the use of everyday language for communication. Egypt as a country that uses Arabic as its national language for communication certainly requires Indonesian students to be able to communicate using Arabic. This is a cultural difference in the use of everyday language.
THE EFFECT OF PRAGMATIC TRANSFER AND LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY ON MOROCCAN EFL LEARNERS’ PRAGMATIC COMPETENCE
Authors: Latif Hicham
Published: December 2024

In the present study, we investigate the potential effects of first language negative pragmatic transfer and target language proficiency on Moroccan EFL learners’ pragmatic competence as reflected in their request productions. The data were collected by means of a written discourse completion task from four samples of Moroccan Arabic native speakers, American English native speakers, and two proficiency groups of Moroccan EFL learners. The results revealed some pragmatic transfer of direct requesting strategies, especially the imperatives and want statements. Proficiency also had a positive impact on learners’ use of request perspective and lexical downgraders. However, the lower-level group was not the most direct as expected, indicating a negative correlation between proficiency and pragmatic competence. The study concludes with several research and pedagogical implications.

Authors: Aydemir Abdullah , Otlu Hasan , İçalan Ahmet , Akıllı Erdem
Published: December 2024

There were many narrative types in the oral tradition period when there was no written culture. One of these is the fairy tales that form the language, cultural and value judgments of the society. Fairy tales, which have an important function in the education of children today, have survived until today by being told by a narrator. As a result of research conducted both in the world and in Turkey, many fairy tales have been unearthed so far. Fairy tales, told in different ways from region to region and from region to region, vary in this respect. The imaginary elements in fairy tales, in which we can see the characteristics of the society in which they were created, are important in that they reflect the beliefs and common views that have an impact on societies. Fairy tales continue to exist today through broadcast media such as cinema and television, and they have an important place in the mental development of young children, especially. As a result of the studies carried out so far, different classifications have been made on fairy tales and tales have been divided into categories. Many researchers, especially in Europe, have conducted studies on folk narratives. Many approaches and opinions have been put forward, especially on the structure and typology of fairy tales. One of these studies belongs to Vladimir Propp, who examined the structure of fairy tales. With his work, he tried to analyze the structure of fairy tales within the framework of morphology and by formulating the structural scheme of tales, he determined that there are 31 functions in fairy tales. In this study, after mentioning Vladimir Propp's morphological method, the tale named "Bacı Bacı Can Bacı", one of the Turkish tales, will be examined according to Vladimir Propp's tale analysis method, and the functions of the tale will be determined, and its basic structure will be revealed.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ACROSS LIBYA TO EUROPE: PATTERNS, CHALLENGES AND HUMAN RIGHTS IMPLICATIONS
Authors: Alsharif Ahmed Hussin Abdelgadir , Kiralp Şevki
Published: December 2024

Illegal migration to Europe often takes place across the Mediterranean Sea or, in some cases, overland in the Italian boundaries and this has been the subject of international news. Many migrants are at risk of serious injury or death while travelling to Europe, and many who have not been granted asylum have also been forced to return to Africa. Libya is the biggest destination for illegal immigrants in Europe. As a result, many migrants have been arrested in Libya, and forced to remain in Libya while the conditions of detention centres remain substandard level. The poor migration-related conditions in detention centres and refugee camps have sparked international outrage. This study analyses the current situation of illegal migration of people from Libya to Europe and examines the migration of migrants who come to Libya to live in or move to Europe through Libya. This study provides compelling reasons why Libya has become a transit and refugee area and what regulations are in place to curb these conditions. The research employed both qualitative and quantitative methods, including interviews with migrants and statistical analysis of survey data. The results revealed significant challenges faced by migrants in detention centres, the impact of political instability on migration patterns, and the humanitarian implications of current policies. For best results, two methods were used to analyse these conditions: qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results and key findings were aggregated from interviews based on survey questions, and SPSS software was used for quantitative analysis, with the results described in percentages and frequency.

EVOLUTION OF DEMOCRACY: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Aroyehun Tomilayo Oyebola Mubarak
Published: December 2024

This paper examined the evolution of democracy, focusing on two pivotal challenges: the rise of populism and the decline in trust in democratic institutions. A robust qualitative methodology was employed, including a comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies from various nations, such as the United States, Brazil, and India. The analysis revealed that populism flourishes in environments marked by diminished public trust, leading to heightened polarization and civic disengagement. Additionally, the decline in trust correlates with economic disparities and institutional shortcomings, making citizens more susceptible to populist rhetoric. These findings underscore the urgent need for strategies aimed at rejuvenating democratic governance, such as enhancing transparency through technological advancements and initiating civic education programs. Such measures are essential for reconnecting citizens with their governments and preserving democratic principles in contemporary society.

ACCESS ARRANGEMENT PRACTICES, ITS EFFECTIVENESS AND INFLUENCE ON THE PERFORMANCE OF LEARNERS WITH DYSGRAPHIA IN PUBLIC LOWER-PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN VIHIGA COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Mulima Emmanuel Ian , Muthee Jessina , Karia Mathew
Published: December 2024

The study explored the access arrangement practices, their effectiveness, and their influence on the performance of learners with dysgraphia in public lower-primary schools in Emuhaya Sub-County, Vihiga County. This study was anchored on Robert Gagne’s Conditions of Learning theory, proposed in 1965. A descriptive research design was adopted. The study aimed to include all 163 learners diagnosed with dysgraphia enrolled in lower public primary schools within the Emuhaya sub-county. Additionally, the study targeted 16 headteachers from public primary schools, 153 teachers, and 10 sub-county Education officers in the same sub-county. The researcher utilized stratified sampling to select 5 public primary schools. Purposive sampling was used to select 5 headteachers from the sampled schools. Similarly, purposive sampling was employed to select 6education officers from the Emuhaya sub-county. The researcher sampled 50 lower primary school teachers and 50 learners identified with dysgraphia from grade 1 to grade 3 in the sampled schools using simple random sampling. The researcher employed a combination of open and closed questionnaires, as well as interview guides, to gather data from different categories of participants. A pilot study was conducted in two public primary schools, which were not included in the main data collection. Qualitative data underwent content analysis, while quantitative data was analyzed using frequencies and percentages with SPSS. Results indicated that schools in Emuhaya utilized various access arrangements for students with dysgraphia. Dysgraphia was found to impact academic performance negatively, but with intervention, student performance improved by 5%–10% in successive exams. Students reported a positive change in attitude towards education due to the intervention, feeling supported by the school. The study concluded that access arrangements have an impact on the academic performance of students with dysgraphia. Before the intervention, dysgraphia hurt students' academic performance, as evidenced by poor performance in previous exams. The study recommended that the government need to implement a systematic identification method for documenting students with learning disabilities early in their academic journey. Early identification and intervention can significantly improve outcomes for dysgraphia students and facilitate timely support and resources. Schools should prioritize the implementation of recommended interventions to support dysgraphia students, promote inclusivity, and foster a positive attitude towards education among all students, regardless of their learning needs.
