Scientific concepts as meaning-making resources for young EFL learners in the learning of pragmatics
Authors: Myrset Anders
Published: September 2021

This article reports on a study investigating the role of scientific concepts in the metapragmatic awareness of Norwegian primary EFL learners’ following a four-week instructional intervention on requesting informed by sociocultural theory (Vygotsky, 2012/1934). Through introducing pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic dimensions of requesting, the intervention aimed to develop metapragmatic awareness and foster learner agency by teaching pragmalinguistic resources related to request strategies; raising awareness of contextual considerations; and drawing attention to individual perceptions of appropriateness. The instruction focused on scientific concepts, that is, systematic and abstract objects of study which facilitate learner reflections. This article draws on data collected during group interviews to analyse whether learners used scientific concepts introduced during the instruction–for example, directness of the head act and attention getters–and if so, how these were used to express metapragmatic understandings. The analysis shows how such scientific concepts were internalised and used by learners to express their understandings of the importance of linguistic variation, the communicative functions of requests, and compare request strategies in English and Norwegian. Lived experiences, contextual considerations, and prior knowledge were also used as frames of reference for interpreting the appropriateness of requests. Adding to pragmatics research using concept-based approaches with (young) adults (e.g., van Compernolle, 2014), this study reveals that internalising a conceptual understanding of pragmatic phenomena in a foreign language is possible even for young language learners, thus contributing to knowledge about how learners come to understand pragmatic phenomena and how pragmatics can be taught with these age groups.
Lighting the fuse for interaction and negotiation: The potential of information-gap digital puzzle games for language learning
Authors: Hofmeyr Michael
Published: September 2021

While the existing CALL literature identifies a range of positive learning outcomes for second language acquisition (SLA) that may be achieved through digital game-based activities, Peterson (2013) points to the need for more theory-led research to shed more light on the learning processes involved. To this end, a case study was carried out in which three upper-intermediate-level learners of English at a Japanese university played the cooperative puzzle game Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes (2015) over four sessions. An interaction analysis was performed on their linguistic output in order to identify instances of negotiation for meaning and associated interactional strategies theorised to benefit learning within a cognitive-interactionist SLA framework. The findings confirm that negotiation for meaning occurred and suggest that breakdowns in communication resulting from vague language usage or from gaps in lexical knowledge are most likely to elicit beneficial forms of negotiation. In addition, learners are shown to have made regular use various interactional strategies, either to repair breakdowns in communication or to pre-empt them. Clarification requests and elaborations on previous utterances are shown to have occurred and the data suggest that these two strategies are the most likely to produce substantial modified output that may facilitate SLA.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the degree of obesity and vitamin D level in obese women who applied to a family medicine outpatient clinic. Methods: In our cross-sectional and descriptive study,
297 obese female patients who applied to our family medicine outpatient clinic were included. The patients were evaluated by the researcher in the polyclinic, sociodemographic information and medical history was obtained, anthropometric
measurements were made and vitamin D results were recorded. Results: The mean age of the 297 female patients included in the study was 44.7±11.7 years. A significant relationship was found between the degree of obesity and vitamin
D level (p=0.001).. Statistically, a significant relationship was detected between the presence of menopause and vitamin D level (p=0.000). Conclusions: In the present study, it was observed that as the degree of obesity increased,
the level of vitamin D decreased. And, vitamin D levels of the women in menopause were higher than the women who were not in menopause. Vitamin D supplementation during menopause may explain this unexpected relationship. Family
physicians should make vitamin D supplementation in addition to diet and other recommendations in obese patients when necessary.

Soil Macrofauna has a very important role in maintaining soil fertility through the decomposition of organic matter, nutrient distribution, increasing soil aeration and so on. The existence of soil macrofauna are very important in helping the process of rehabilitation of post-mining land because they contribute to the improvement of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil. The purposes of this study are to identify and quantify the diversity of soil macrofauna in various types of stands and land without stand in Holcim Educational Forest. The highest abundance of soil macrofauna was found in mixed stand with 240 individuals in nine plots of observation, each plot was 40 cm x 40 cm. Layers of soil (0-10 cm) has an abundance of soil macrofauna higher than in the litter layer, because soil layer can provide protection from direct sunlight and enough food for soil macrofauna. Mixed stand has the highest soil macrofauna diversity (H '= 2.52, DMG = 6.93, J' = 0.63), as it has a more diverse vegetation and highest canopy density. Environmental conditions such as soil temperature, canopy density, and soil organic matter can influence the composition and abundance of soil macrofauna, so that the soil macrofauna can be used as an indicator in monitoring environmental quality. Soil macrofauna that dominates in all the stands and land without stand, were red ants (Formicidae 7), termites (Rhinotermitidae 1), earthworms (Megascolecidae 1), and larvae of Coleoptera (Scarabaeidae 1).Key words: abundance, diversity, environment, soil macrofauna

Establishment of transition point in operating mode for Constant Current Constant Voltage (CC-CV) charging of Li-ion batteries
Authors: Amit Kumar De  , Shobhana Dey
Published: September 2021

The present-day Li-ion batteries when operated, needs precise monitoring of the charging voltage. Several charging techniques have been tested so far with varying degrees of success. One of the most widely used charging techniques is the CC-CV (constant current constant voltage) charging. When performing this, the safety considerations must be maintained with respect to over voltage charging which is a very common problem during constant current charging. In order to prevent over voltage charging, the charging mode must be then shifted from CC to CV mode. So, this transition point of the charging mode from CC to CV is very crucial for the safe operation and health of the battery in the long run. The problem is that, this transition point doesn’t remain the same for the battery. So, in this paper the factors on which it depends are discussed and a Li-ion battery was charged in a few different charging rates using the CC-CV technique to demonstrate the process.

Published: September 2021

Bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum is a constraint that limits the production of solanaceous in Côte d'Ivoire. The genetic control, which is more widely used, comes up against the genetic and phenotypic variability of the strains. The objective of this study was to screen commercial and traditional varieties of Solanaceae against Ivorian strains of different phylotypes to assess their spectrum of resistance to the disease. The level of virulence of the five strains of R. solanacearum was evaluated in semi-controlled conditions against eight varieties of Solanaceae (pepper, eggplant and tomato). Four groups of strains were identified according to the level of virulence. Group 4, composed of strains (RUN 1794 and RUN 1854) of phylotype III and I, respectively, and originating from the localities of Kondoukro and Yamoussoukro, was very virulent. The resistant varieties were for the F1 kalenda eggplant, for the yellow chilli from Burkina and for the F1 Lindo tomato. These varieties could be used in the fight against bacterial wilt in Côte d'Ivoire.

With increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome and absence of local waist circumference cut-off point, it is important to determine the local cut-off point of waist circumference to predict metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among Saudi adults who attend primary health care centers (PHC) in Jeddah city in 2017, and to determine the appropriate waist circumference cut-off value for identifying a person at risk for the metabolic syndrome. A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted. Results shows; mean age of participants was 30.94±9.70 and waist circumference was 96.87±17.40 in males and 86.51±15.30 in females. The prevalence (CI: 95%) of pre-diabetes was 16.3% (12.9%; 20.1%), while the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was {(95% CI = 10.6%) (7.80%; 13.8%)}. Abdominal obesity was the most frequent component of MetS, detected in 60.6%, and followed by high blood pressure in 25.0%. In males, a waist circumference≥93.5 cm is likely to indicate MetS with 100% sensitivity and 47.2% specificity; whereas, in females, optimal waist circumference cut-off was determined as ≥83.5 cm, showing 92.3% sensitivity and 46.4% specificity. In multivariate logistic regression, extended waist circumference was the strongest predictor of MetS {OR (95%CI) =3.75 (1.30; 10.81); p=0.014}, followed by the presence pre-diabetes {OR (95%CI) =2.31 (1.06; 5.04); p=0.035}. Further, high educational level was a significant predictor for MetS {OR (95%CI) = 0.34 (0.12; 0.99); p=0.047}; while age and marital status were not significant predictors.

Historiallinen poetiikka tutkimussuuntauksena
Authors: Isomaa Saija
Published: September 2021

Artikkeli tarkastelee historiallisesta poetiikasta käytyä keskustelua 1800-luvulta nykypäiviin sekä hahmottelee sitä tutkimussuuntauksena, joka keskittyy kirjallisten ilmiöiden historialliseen tarkasteluun, kuvaamiseen ja teoretisointiin. Poetiikka on ymmärretty 1500-luvulta lähtien ei-historiallisesti, mutta venäläinen Aleksander Veselovski loi 1800-luvun lopussa historiallisen poetiikan käsitteen, joka vaikutti laajasti myöhempään tutkimukseen suoraan ja epäsuorasti. 1900-luvun alkupuolta ja puoliväliä hallitsivat synkroniset poetiikan teoriat, mutta historialliset poetiikan ohjelmat alkoivat nousta esiin ja yleistyä 1970-luvulta lähtien, ja ne ovat ajankohtaistuneet 2010-luvulla uusien historiallisen poetiikan tutkimusverkostojen synnyn myötä. Artikkeli kartoittaa ja arvioi kriittisesti historiallisen poetiikan ohjelmia Veselovskista Tel Avivin koulukuntaan, uushistorismin kulttuuriseen poetiikkaan ja nykytutkimuksessa tapahtuvaan historiallisen poetiikan uudelleenarviointiin. Artikkeli esittää historiallisen poetiikan yhtenä kirjallisuudentutkimuksen suuntauksista ja hahmottelee sen piiriin kuuluvia tutkimusaloja uudella tavalla. Artikkeli tuottaa uutta tietoa kirjallisuudentutkimuksen kentästä niin kansainvälisesti kuin Suomen kontekstissa ja lisää tutkijoiden itseymmärrystä.
”Ei kurkkuasi kurista, jos otat opin kurista”
Authors: Erkko Rimma
Published: September 2021

Artikkelini käsittelee groteskia kurinpitoa ja traumaattista naurua Tomi Kontion lastenkirjassa Keväällä isä sai siivet (2000). Väitän, että traumaattisen naurun konsepti tunnustaa karnevalistisen naurun ja kauhean, redusoituneen naurun ambivalentin suhteen. Ehdotan, että Kontion romaanissa tällainen nauru on lapsille ennen kaikkea selviytyä ympäristössä, jossa heillä ei ole turvallisia aikuisia. Väitän että romaani kritisoi tätä kautta erityisesti lapsiin kohdistuvaa institutionaalista väkivaltaa. Romaanissa aikuiset ja erityisesti viranomaiset esitetään lasten näkökulmasta sadistisessa valossa.
”But my own story was fading”
Authors: Rahikkala Salla
Published: September 2021

Tässä artikkelissa analysoidaan romaanin ja kertomusten rakentumisen kysymyksiä rinnakkain mustaan naissubjektiuteen liittyvien ongelmanasettelujen kanssa Zadie Smithin uusimmassa romaanissa Swing Time (2016). Romaani kuvaa moniulotteisesti todellisuutta ja subjektiutta määrittelemään pyrkivien kertomusten moneutta ja hajanaisuutta. Puntaroidessaan mustan naissubjektiuden konstruoinnin mahdollisuuksia romaanissa pohditaan samalla metanarratiivisesti kertomusten merkitystä postmodernismin/postmoderniteetin jälkeisessä kirjallisuudessa ja ajassa.
Tarkastelu rakentuu neljän kertomuksia ja metanarratiivisuutta koskevan havainnon ympärille. Tutkin kertomusten poissaolon uhkaa, kertomusten ongelmallista moneutta, kertomusten mahdollisuuksia sekä lopuksi kertomusten ”esteettis-eettisiä” (vrt. Vermeulen & van den Akker 2010, 2015) ulottuvuuksia. Näitä kertomusten eri puolia analysoimalla havainnollistuu, miten Swing Time esittää mustan naissubjektiuden rakentumisen kertomusten, ja erityisesti romaanin, rakentumiseen kytkeytyvänä ja rinnastuvana ilmiönä.
Smithin romaani näyttäisi nostavan esiin uudenlaisen metamodernistisen ja itsetietoisen rekonstruktion paradigman. Se ehdottaa siirtymistä postmodernismin hajonneista pienistä kertomuksista – niin subjektiutta kuin romaanimuotoa koskevista – kohti kertomusten tarpeen (ks. esim. Meretoja 2014; Malmio 2019) tunnustavaa politiikkaa ja poetiikkaa.

Published: September 2021

An important aspect for companies in dealing with the demands of the working world is the continuous and requirement-specific further training of employees. The possibility of workplace-related learning has a major importance in this context. In this context, digital assistance systems can be used to provide targeted support for the learning process. This paper presents current research findings from the funding priority "Work in the Digitalized world" on the use of digital assistance systems for competence development as well as on relevant design criteria for the development and implementation of workplace-related learning assistance systems. In addition, the article explores the question of what role artificial intelligence (AI) can play as a learning technology in in-house further training. In this context, the article highlights the challenges and associated design options for AI-supported learning in the process of work. Finally, the development and design of symbiotic interaction (human-machine) will be addressed and the possibility of reciprocal learning in the interaction between humans and assistance systems will be highlighted.

Authors: Kiryanov Dmitry Viktorovich
Published: September 2021

The purpose of the study is to identify specific nature and characteristic features of critical realism methodology used by I. Barbour and J. Polkinghorne in elaboration of the problems peculiar to the dialogue between science and religion. The article presents an analysis of justification concerning the use of critical realism methodology in the dialogue between science and religion. Scientific novelty lies in the fact that the study reveals causes of the debate on using critical realism methodology in science and religion, shows limitations of applying critical realism in the field of religion, as well as identifies possible ways to adjust the considered authors’ approach to the dialogue between science and religion. As a result, it is proved that even though critical realism can serve as a “bridge” in the dialogue between scientific and religious worldviews, its use has significant limitations in the field of theology.

“Free Creativity” as Means to Overcome Urgent Problem of Estrangement in the Modern World
Authors: Serikov Vasilii Vasilievitch , Pivovarova Ekaterina Vladimirovna
Published: September 2021

The paper aims to identify the role of free creativity as a means to overcome the problem of estrangement relevant to the modern society. The article traces evolution of the notion “estrangement” introduced by G. Hegel, developed by K. Marx and E. Fromm and still considered relevant in the XXI century. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that free creativity, as distinguished from creative work, is considered as a means to solve the problem of estrangement. As a result, the authors conclude that free creativity, not focused on satisfying essential human needs, helps to solve the problem of estrangement and to strengthen an individual’s social identity.

A. N. Kuropatkin on Cultural and Historic Importance of Railways in the Russian Far East
Authors: Suvorov Valery Vladimirovich , Shumilova Lyudmila Nikolaevna , Pinchuk Yuri Sergeevich
Published: September 2021

The paper reveals A. N. Kuropatkin’s views on cultural, historic and strategic importance of railways in the Russian Far East. The authors provide a comprehensive analysis of A. N. Kuropatkin’s views on railway development in the Far Eastern region, trace their evolution depending on the foreign policy situation, and herein lies scientific originality of the study. As a result, it is shown that A. N. Kuropatkin was especially concerned with the Far Eastern railway development, emphasizing its strategic and economic importance. At the same time, he manifested an ambiguous attitude to the Chinese Eastern Railway project, because, on the one hand, it was a shorter route and, consequently, fewer resources were required to protect the railway, but on the other hand, the railway was supposed to run through Manchuria, which worsened Russia’s relations with China and Japan. Before the Russian-Japanese war, Kuropatkin insisted that the railway should run entirely through Russia and considered it possible to abandon the Chinese Eastern Railway project in order to avoid the war with Japan, or at least postpone it.
