The Unamendable Articles of the 1945 Constitution
Authors: Eddyono Luthfi Widagdo
Published: July 2018

The amendments of the 1945 Indonesian Constitution between 1999 and 2002 have significantly changed the state system in Indonesia. In such a short period, the Constitution has been amended four times, provokes enormous additional norms and causes the establishment of several new institutions, including the Constitutional Court and Judicial Commission. However, after the amendments to the 1945 Indonesian Constitution on Chapter XVI about Amendments to the Constitution, the framers of the amended Constitution created Article 37 paragraph (5) that stated, the form of the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia may not be amended. The Preamble is also implicit unamendable. My purpose in this article is to understand the original intent of Article 37 paragraph (5) of the 1945 Indonesian Constitution, the real function of the article and also to describes original intent arguments explaining why the Preamble of the Constitution also unamendable. Before the amendments between 1999 and 2002, there is no article and provision like that, especially in the original 1945 Constitution. At last, I found that two important points that explain why this new provision created. First, the framers still afraid of separatism based on experience in 1950’s when federalism occurred in Indonesia. Second, the procedure to amend the articles of the 1945 Constitution shows that the framers only wants to strengthen the important system of unitary state because there is no differences process to amend articles of the 1945 Constitution.

Effects of Resistance Exercise and Protein on Body Composition Following Weight Loss
Authors: Westcott Wayne , Colligan Amanda , Lannutti Kelly , La Rosa Loud Rita , Vallier Samantha
Published: July 2018

Background: Research indicates that weight loss programs are effective for reducing body weight temporarily, but weight maintenance studies have been almost uniformly unsuccessful in preventing weight regain.

Methods: Subjects who completed a 6-month weight loss study were invited to continue with a weight maintenance program. The weight loss study examined the effects of exercise (20 min strength, 20 min aerobics, twice weekly) and nutrition (1,200 to 1,800 kcal·d−1, 2 daily meal replacement protein shakes) on body weight and body composition. Weight loss program completers experienced improvements (P < 0.05) in body weight, percent fat, fat mass, lean mass, waist girth, and hip girth. Subjects who participated in the weight maintenance program performed the same strength and aerobic exercise protocol, but discontinued caloric restriction and decreased daily meal replacement protein shakes from 2 to 1.

Results: After 6 months on the weight maintenance program, participants experienced improvement (P < 0.05) in percent fat, fat mass, lean mass, waist girth, and hip girth, with no significant change in body weight. A subgroup of subjects who continued the weight maintenance program for an additional 3 months experienced additional improvement (P < 0.05) in percent fat, fat mass, lean mass, waist girth, and hip girth, with no significant change in body weight.

Conclusion: These findings indicated that a postdiet weight maintenance program incorporating 2 weekly resistance and aerobic exercise sessions coupled with a daily meal replacement protein shake was effective for avoiding weight regain and for improving body composition, with concurrent fat mass decrease and lean mass increase.
Disfluent, but fast
Authors: Bahník Štěpán
Published: July 2018

Processing fluency, a metacognitive feeling of ease of cognitive processing, serves as a cue in various types of judgments. Response times are sometimes used for evaluation of fluency of a cognitive process; that is, shorter response times are said to indicate fluency. The present study tested whether disfluency may lead to faster decision times when it serves as a strong cue in judgment. Retrieval fluency was manipulated using previous presentation and phonological fluency by varying pronounceability of pseudowords. Both retrieval and phonological fluency increased liking of pseudowords. Furthermore, the results showed the predicted inverted-U shaped relationship between pronounceability and decision times. Decisions were faster for disfluent and fluent pseudowords than for moderately fluent pseudowords. The present study thus demonstrates the importance of separating different processes comprising judgment when response times are used as a proxy for processing fluency.

Reframing Language Roles in Moroccan Higher Education: Context and Implications of the Advent of English
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Allame Yamina El Kirat El , Laaraj Youssef
Published: July 2018

Morocco is a multilingual society where different languages are in use. Besides the national and official languages, Moroccans also use a number of foreign languages among which are French, Spanish, and English. Over the last few years, foreign languages have acquired more space and prestige, especially in the educational system. In this respect, the Ministry of Higher Education is promoting the position of the English language through ministerial notes imposing it as a requirement at the doctoral level and for the recruitment of new university professors. With the spread of English as the international language and the language of research and science, current debate concerns also the language of instruction in science streams. The aim of the present study is to address three main research questions, namely (i) what status does English have in Morocco in general and in Higher Education in particular; (ii) what is the language policy, if any, that organizes the growing of English in Morocco; (iii) what are the causes and implications of the growth of English as the language of science in Morocco. This research intends to (i) reveal the conditioning factors for the spread and promotion of English in the Moroccan higher education (ii) investigate the potential implications of the growth of English on the other foreign languages and particularly the languages of instruction languages, namely Arabic and French. The study adopts a mixed approach making use of a survey to collect Moroccan university students and education professionals’ opinions about the impact of the Moroccan English language policy. The study will also analyze the official documents and discourses and the academic literature.
Social Privacy in Networked Publics: Teens’ Attitudes, Practices, and Strategies
Authors: boyd danah , Marwick Alice
Published: July 2018

There’s a widespread myth that American teenagers don’t care about privacy. The logic is simple: Why else would teenagers share so much on Facebook and Twitter and YouTube? There is little doubt that many – but not all – American teens have embraced many popular social media services. And there is little doubt that those who have are posting photos, sharing links, updating status messages, and commenting on each other’s posts. Yet, as Waffles explains above, participation in such networked publics does not imply that today’s teens have rejected privacy as a value. All teens have a sense of privacy, although their definitions of privacy vary widely. Their practices in networked publics are shaped by their interpretation of the social situation, their attitudes towards privacy and publicity, and their ability to navigate the technological and social environment. As such, they develop intricate strategies to achieve privacy goals. Their practices demonstrate privacy as a social norm that is achieved through a wide array of social practices configured by structural conditions. How teens approach privacy challenges the ways in which privacy is currently conceptualized, discussed, and regulated.This paper examines how teens understand privacy and what strategies they take in their efforts to achieve social privacy. We describe both teens’ practices and the structural conditions in which they are embedded, highlighting the ways in which privacy, as it plays out in everyday life, is related more to agency and the ability to control a social situation than particular properties of information. Finally, we discuss the implications of teens’ practices, revealing the importance of social norms as a regulatory force.

Measurement of validity and reliability using Alpha Cronbach. The result showed that there was a significant influence between attitude variable (X1) on teacher performance (Y) and also there was a considerable influence between quality supervision variable (X2) on teacher performance (Y). From the research, it can conclude that attitude variable is dominant factor which tends to influence teacher performance in interaction process of teaching-learning. In this case, the teacher should be able to improve his performance which is the capital for the success of education.
Making a case: reflections on the reader-text relation and the use of single and multiple empirical cases and generalization in sociological research
Authors: Gaudet Joanne
Published: July 2018

Three encounters involving the case study approach during my doctoral research journey in sociology have spurred me to write this reflexive commentary on case studies. What I briefly explore here is how disciplinary-specific perspectives from readers engaged in reader-text relations appear to have entered into conflict with the relation of accountability I hold as an author with my texts and their underlying theoretical and empirical underpinnings. I first present an overview of the three encounters and then propose a short reflexive analysis for each.
Special Systems Theory
Authors: Palmer Kent D.
Published: July 2018

A new advanced systems theory concerning the emergent nature of the Social, Consciousness, and Life based on Mathematics and Physical Analogies is presented. This metatheory concerns the distance between the emergent levels of these phenomena and their ultra-efficaciou nature. The theory is based on the distinction between Systems and Meta-systems (organized Openscape environments). We first realize that we can understand the difference between the System and the Meta-system in terms of the relationship between a ‘Whole greater than the sum of the parts’ and a ‘Whole less than the sum of its parts’, i.e., a whole full of holes (like a sponge) that provide niches for systems in the environment. Once we understand this distinction and clarify the nature of the unusual organization of the Meta-system, then it is possible to understand that there is a third possibility which is a whole exactly equal to the sum of its parts that is only supervenient like perfect numbers. In fact, there are three kinds of Special System corresponding to the perfect, amicable, and sociable aliquot numbers. These are all equal to the sum of their parts but with different degrees of differing and deferring in what Jacques Derrida calls “differance”. All other numbers are either excessive (systemic) or deficient (metasystemic) in this regard. The Special Systems are based on various mathematical analogies and some physical analogies. But the most important of the mathematical analogies are the hypercomplex algebras, which include the Complex Numbers, Quaternions, and Octonions, with the Sedenions corresponding to the Emergent Meta-system. However, other analogies are the Hopf fibrations between hyperspheres of various dimensions, nonorientable surfaces, soliton solutions, etc. These Special Systems have a long history within the tradition since they can be traced back to the imaginary cities of Plato. The Emergent Meta-system is a higher order global structure that includes the System with the three Special Systems as a cycle. An example of this from our tradition is in the Monadology of Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz. There is a conjunctive relationship between the System schema and the Special Systems that produce the Meta-system schema cycle. The Special Systems are a meta-model for the relationship between the emergent levels of Consciousness (Dissipative Ordering based on the theory of negative entropy of Prigogine), Living (Autopoietic Symbiotic based on the theory of Maturana and Varela), and Social (Reflexive based on the theory of John O’Malley and Barry Sandywell). These different special systems are related to the various existenitals identified by Martin Heidegger in Being and Time and various temporal reference frames identified by Richard M. Pico. We also relate the special systems to morphodynamic and teleodynamic systems of Terrence Deacon in Incomplete Nature to which we add sociodynamic systems to complete the series of Special Systems.

In Your Eyes Only? Discrepancies and Agreement Between Self- and Other-Reports of Personality From Age 14 to 29
Authors: Rohrer Julia M. , Egloff Boris , Kosinski Michal , Stillwell David , Schmukle Stefan C.
Published: July 2018

Do others perceive the personality changes that take place between the ages of 14 and 29 in a similar fashion as the aging person him- or herself? This cross-sectional study analyzed age trajectories in self- versus other-reported Big Five personality traits and in self-other agreement in a sample of more than 10,000 individuals from the myPersonality Project. Results for self-reported personality showed maturation effects (increases in extraversion, conscientiousness, openness to experience, and emotional stability), and this pattern was generally also reflected in other-reports, albeit with discrepancies regarding timing and magnitude. Age differences found for extraversion were similar between the self- and other-reports, but the increase found in self-reported conscientiousness was delayed in other-reports, and the curvilinear increase found in self-reported openness was slightly steeper in other-reports. Only emotional stability showed a distinct mismatch with an increase in self-reports, but no significant age effect in other-reports. Both the self- and other-reports of agreeableness showed no significant age trends. The trait correlations between the self- and other-reports increased with age for emotional stability, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness; by contrast, agreement regarding extraversion remained stable. The profile correlations confirmed increases in self-other agreement with age. We suggest that these gains in agreement are a further manifestation of maturation. Taken together, our analyses generally show commonalities but also some divergences in age-associated mean level changes between self- and other-reports of the Big Five, as well as an age trend towards increasing self-other agreement.
Genomic ancestry, cognitive ability, and socioeconomic outcomes
Authors: Kirkegaard Emil O. W. , Fuerst John , Meisenberg Gerhard
Published: July 2018

In the United States, cognitive ability, socioeconomic status (SES), and genetic ancestry vary by race/ethnic identification. However, it is not known to what degree genetic ancestry is a useful predictor of outcomes independent of those cultural factors related to race/ethnic identification. Data from the Pediatric Imaging, Neurocognition, and Genetics Study (PING) (N = 1,369 children) were used to examine this issue. In regression models using 4 different codings for SIRE as a covariate, non-trivial incremental relationships were found between genetic ancestry and both cognitive ability and SES. These relationships were reduced somewhat when parental SES was added as a predictor with cognitive ability as the outcome. These associations generally held when subgroups were analyzed separately. Results were congruent with familial models of group differences. Implications for research on race/ethnic differences in the Americas are discussed.
Inference in multiscale geographically weighted regression
Authors: Yu Hanchen , Fotheringham Stewart , Li Ziqi , Oshan Taylor M. , Kang Wei , Wolf Levi John
Published: July 2018

A recent paper (Fotheringham et al. 2017) expands the well-known Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) framework significantly by allowing the bandwidth or smoothing factor in GWR to be derived separately for each covariate in the model – a framework referred to as Multiscale GWR (MGWR). However, one limitation of the MGWR framework is that, until now, no inference about the local parameter estimates was possible. Formally, the so-called “hat matrix,” which projects the observed response vector into the predicted response vector, was available in GWR but not in MGWR. This paper addresses this limitation by reframing GWR as a Generalized Additive Model (GAM), extending this framework to MGWR and then deriving standard errors for the local parameters in MGWR. In addition, we also demonstrate how the effective number of parameters (ENP) can be obtained for the overall fit of an MGWR model and for each of the covariates within the model. This statistic is essential for comparing model fit between MGWR, GWR, and traditional global models, as well as adjusting for multiple hypothesis tests. We demonstrate these advances to the MGWR framework with both a simulated data set and a real-world data set.
CONCEPT ‘COPS’: MONITORING STRUCTURED LEARNING BY RETENTION TESTING TO IDENTIFY THE ‘BLIND SPOTS’ IN LEARNING, AS A FILLIP TO CONCEPT MAP USAGE.
Authors: sitaramam vetury , Vetury-Iyer Pallavi
Published: July 2018

Some degree of conceptualization would clearly occur during past traditional learning even if not formally realized as concept maps, since conceptual connectivity and progression are intuitively grasped. Can this be measured? The methodology for developing metrics for the ‘solidness’ of past learning has major prospects in the development of educational strategies, as retained learning alone can be true learning; it sheds light on ‘the disconnects’ that throw learning off-gear, when evaluated at a mass level. Here, we outline such a methodology that tantamounts to sleuthing for limits to true learning both in an individual and a group that the practitioners of concept maps may find useful, by reexamining for retention of past learning. Quantitation in retention together with concept maps complete the loop of learning, offering invaluable feedback where it is needed most, i.e., blind spots in learning.
Computational and Experimental Investigation of Runner for Gravitational Water Vortex Power Plant
Authors: Dhakal Rabin , Khanal Kshitiz
Published: July 2018

The gravitational water vortex power plant (GWVPP) is a new type of low head turbine system in which a channel and basin structure is used to form a vortex, where the rotational energy from the water can be extracted through a runner. This study is focused on the optimization of the runner to improve the efficiency of theGWVPP. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis iscarried out on three different runner designs with straight,twisted and curved blade profiles. ANSYS CFX was used to analyze the fluid flow through the channel, basin,turbine hub and blade, and results were used to evaluatethe efficiency of each of the runner designs. The CFDanalysis showed curved blade profile to be the mostefficient profile, with a peak efficiency of 82%, comparedto 46% for the straight blade runner and 63% for thetwisted blade version. An experimental test of the turbinesystem was carried out to validate the runner analysis, in ascale version of the GWVPP. The testing showed that therunner behaved as predicted from the CFD analysis, andhad a peak efficiency point of 71% at 0.5m head.
Preventing Manet From Blackhole And Grayhole Attacks Using Reverse Tracing Technique
Authors: Khan Pathan Aiyaz
Published: July 2018

Network which is not connected by any type of cable is a wireless network. The main purpose of using wireless network is that it enables users to avoid the cost of introducing cable lines in the building or making connection between different locations. These networks are highly affected by network attack. One of these attacks are black hole attacks in which malicious node claims that it has the fresh and shortest path. As MANET doesn't have any standard infrastructure and the dynamic topology that makes these networks highly susceptible to security flaws like exploiting vulnerabilities to routing protocols and transferring harmful packets in the networks. These security issues results in adverse effect on this network. Now the task is to prevent MANET from these security threats. As this paper is based on DSR protocol hence we developed a scheme called the Cooperative Bait Detection Scheme (CBDS), which directly focus on detection and prevention of malicious nodes introducing gray hole/black hole attacks in MANETs. To implement this CBDS we use back tracing method. Hence from our proposed system we won't require any special hardware or detection node to prevent against blackhole attacks.

The effect of early age-related hearing loss on memory and participation in social leisure activities
Authors: Danielsson Henrik , Pichora-Fuller M Kathleen , Dupuis Kate , Rönnberg Jerker , Chasteen Alison L. , Nilsson Lars-Göran
Published: July 2018

Age-related declines in hearing, cognition and social participation are well recognized, as are associations between hearing loss and cognitive decline, hearing loss and increased risk for social isolation, and cognitive decline and lower participation in social leisure activities (PSLA). Nevertheless, how age and the three domains of hearing, cognition, and social participation relate to one other in the same study is unclear. Behavioural measures of hearing and memory and self-reported participation in common social leisure activities from two samples of adults with hearing loss (N=297, N=273) were analysed in the current study. Structural equation modelling on both samples yielded two models with good and similar statistical properties. The two models had the following in common: age effects on hearing and memory, an effect of hearing on memory, but no direct effect of hearing on PSLA. The models differed on the direction of the path between memory and PSLA as well as the existence of the effect of age on PSLA. The majority of participants in both samples were not candidates for hearing aids, but most of those who were candidates used them. Of note, typical pure-tone average thresholds did not contribute significantly to the models, but high-frequency hearing thresholds did, suggesting that even early stages of hearing loss can increase demands on memory that in turn may deter participation in social leisure activities.

Omnivorous Masculinity
Authors: Darwin Helana
Published: July 2018

Peterson’s “omnivore-univore” hypothesis has stimulated a lively debate among cultural sociologists, but the effect of omnivorousness upon gender inequality remains underexplored. By analyzing the gendered valuation of beer types in craft beer blogs and in open-ended surveys with 93 craft beer bar patrons, this article demonstrates that a shift toward omnivorousness does not necessarily reflect a shift toward progressive gender ideology. These findings indicate that the same ideological conflation between femininity and illegitimacy that dominates the univorous American mainstream beer culture has been reproduced—albeit repackaged— within the American craft beer culture. Men are free to consume a range of beer types without consequence within the confines of the omnivorous craft beer culture, but women remain subjected to gendered judgment depending upon their beer preference. This imbalance signifies the emergence of a “hybrid masculinity” within the omnivorous craft beer scene that superficially signifies gender-blindness while ultimately maintaining the patriarchal status quo. These findings contribute towards the sociology of gender and the sociology of consumption by demonstrating the gender contingencies of cultural capital accrual that reinforce women’s subordination.

Progress in basic and clinical research is slowed when researchers fail to provide a complete and accurate report of how a study was designed, executed and results analyzed. Publishing rigorous scientific research involves a full description of the methods, materials, procedures and outcomes. Investigators may fail to provide a complete description of how their study was designed and executed because they may not know how to accurately report that information or mechanisms are not in place to facilitate transparent reporting. Here, we provide an overview of how authors can write manuscripts in a transparent and thorough manner. We introduce a set of reporting criteria that can be used for publishing, including recommendations on reporting the experimental design and statistical approaches. We also discuss how to accurately visualize results and provide recommendations for peer reviewers to enhance rigor and transparency. Incorporating transparency practices into research manuscripts will significantly improve the reproducibility of results by independent laboratories.

Secara definitif Lickona mengupas tuntas pendidikan karakter yang mengarah pada kesimpulan Pendidikan karakter bukan sekadar memiliki dimensi interaktif, dalam arti, mengukuhkan moral intelektual peserta didik sehingga menjadi pribadi yang kokoh tahan uji, melainkan juga harus sinergis secara personal maupun sosial. Sedang al-Zarnuji lebih mengerah pada konsep pendidikan akhlak yang diajarkan dalam Islam.Perbedaan terdapat pada prinsip, tujuan dan metode penerapan. Hal ini dikarenakan latar belakang sosiologis, religius dan periode kehidupan keduanya yang berbeda. Tujuan pendidikan karakter bagi Thomas Lickona lebih diorientasikan pada kebaikan sosial, sedang al-Zarnuji mengarah pada dimensi sosial dan spiritual. Artinya pendidikan karakter diharapkan mampu mensinergikan antara hubungan vertikal dengan Tuhan, horisontal dengan sesama manusia dan internal terhadap personal peserta didik.Hal ini kemudian yang peneliti implikasikan dalam dunia Pendidikan Agama Islam, diantaranya guru harus mampu menumbuhkembangkan budaya-budaya sebagai berikut: 1). Budaya berdoa dan menanamkan niat yang baik. 2) Budaya menghormati orang tua. 3) Budaya menghormati guru atau pendidik. 4) Budaya menghormati ilmu. 5). Budaya mengasihi sesama. 6) Budaya menyesal setelah berbuat salah.Kata Kunci: Pendidikan karakter, Thomas Lickona, al-Zarnuji.

This paper investigates whether active control of study leads to enhanced learning in 5- to 10-year-olds. Children played a simple memory game. In Experiments 1 and 2, the goal was to remember as many as possible from 64 objects. In Experiment 3, the goal was to learn the French names for the same objects. For half of the materials presented, participants could decide the order and pacing of study (Active condition). For the other half, they passively observed the study decisions of a previous participant (Yoked condition). Recognition memory was more accurate for objects studied in the active as compared to the yoked condition. However, the active learning advantage was relatively small among 5-year-olds and increased with age, becoming comparable to adults' by age 8. Our results suggest that the ability to effectively control study emerges and develops during early childhood and leads to memory benefits over a week delay.

Few research studies have quantitatively analyzed metadata elements associated with scientific data reuse. By using metadata and dataset download rates from the National Snow and Ice Data Center, we address whether there are key indicators in data repository metadata that show a statistically significant correlation with the download count of a dataset and whether we can predict data reuse using machine learning techniques. We used the download rate by unique IP addresses for individual datasets as our dependent variable and as a proxy for data reuse. Our analysis shows that the following metadata elements in NSIDC datasets are positively correlated with download rates: year of citation, number of data formats, number of contributors, number of platforms, number of spatial coverage areas, number of locations, and number of keywords. Our results are applicable to researchers and professionals working with data and add to the small body of work addressing metadata best practices for increasing discovery of data.
IPAL Bukan Lampu Aladdin

Banyak yang menyangka bahwa IPAL itu seperti mesin. Katakanlah semacam “mesin” blender untuk membuat jus (juice). Masukkan buah-buahan (input), tekan knop on, tunggu sambil santai (proses), hasilnya adalah jus segar (output). IPAL tidak demikian. Ia mirip makhluk hidup yang perlu dirawat, diperhatikan, diberi “vitamin”, dan kalau “sakit” harus segera “diobati”. Anggapan bahwa IPAL itu seperti mesin atau robot yang tidak perlu “kasih-sayang” manusia (baca: operator) adalah keliru, Akibatnya, banyak IPAL yang akhirnya bermasalah lalu gagal-olah. Sekadar contoh, nyaris semua IPAL milik rumah pemotongan hewan (RPH) menimbulkan polusi udara, tanah, dan perairan.

Science may be humanity’s most important long-term investment. The effort to accumulate knowledge has profound consequences for growing the economy, security, and well-being of American society. Some of the impact of scientific investments are the direct aims of the project. But, much of the impact is indirect. Research often leads to unexpected insights and applications that are only appreciated after the discovery and produce many orders of magnitude return on investments. Examples include the creation of the Internet and the core search insights that led to the founding of Google. Science is a long-term investment strategy for the continuing vitality of society, and we can do an even better job with this investment. Today, I will discuss how promoting a culture of transparency and reproducibility will improve the speed and efficiency of scientific discovery.

The relationship between expression of Toll-like Receptor 4 in chronic hepatitis C patients and different stages of liver fibrosis.
Authors: mohamed salem
Published: July 2018

Background and AimsTLR4 is pattern recognition receptors whose activation results in the production of several pro-inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this work is to find if there is a relation between the expression of TLR4 and fibrosis progression in chronic HCV patients.Methods50 patients with chronic HCV were included. They were divided into group A: 40 patients (F1-F4) and group B (control group) which included 10 patients (F0) based on fibroscan value. All patients were exposed to clinical and laboratory evaluations preliminary to antiviral therapy, assessment of TLR4 mRNA by Real Time- PCR. ResultsTwenty-eight males and 22 females with a mean age 28.9±6.1 years. The mean TLR4 expression is 11.2±7.4 folds, TLR4 expression in F0 group is 2.8±1.9, in F1 group 4.8±1.5, F2 group 10.2±2.5, F3 group 16.8±1.5 and in F4 21.3±3.6 folds (p=0.000). TLR4 showed a positive correlation with age, fibrosis stage, RNA, serum transaminases, total bilirubin and prothrombin time, a negative correlation with platelet count and serum albumin. Fibrosis progression was independently associated with TLR4 expression (β=0.648, P=0.000), RNA (β= 0.160, P =0 .001) and platelet count (β= -0.248, P = 0.004).ConclusionThe expression of TLR4 is highly correlated with the fibrosis progression; TLR4 may be a potential target for drugs to limit the progression of fibrosis.

Published: July 2018

This paper is based on data drawn from Ph.D. research investigating the relationship between language and motivation. It specifically describes the motivating and demotivating factors that influence young female language learners in the Saudi context. This study aims to investigate what factors could motivate female learners of ESL classrooms. Further, the author utilizes sociocultural theory to explore what factors could affect participants’ motivation as female Muslim Arabs. She also supportsher arguments using data drawn from classroom observations, pupil focus group interviews and one-to-one teacher interviews. The current study involves 132 second-year pupils from a secondary public school in Taif city and three Saudi English language teachers.The findings indicate the impact of various social factors relevant to the Saudi identity, culture and everyday life on girls’ ESL learning in the Saudi context. Participants’ beliefs and practices of ESL appear to be influenced by certain imaginative views towards their local identities and cultures, their possible selves in the future, and the linguistic communities. In addition, findings regarding autonomy indicate that identity and culture attributes affects teachers’ and learners’ roles in the classroom and their motivation both inside andoutside the classroom. Finally, the study recommends extending the setting of the sample for future study to include more than one city in order to compare cultural and social attributes that impact ESL, ascultures and identities vary from one area to another in Saudi Arabia.
