English Language Teachers’ Stated Beliefs and Practices Regarding Task-Based Language Teaching and Listening
Authors: Jones Marc
Published: August 2020

Literature on both task-based language teaching (TBLT) and listening in language teaching generally as well as in English language teaching (ELT) is lacking in description about what teachers do and to what extent they apply theory or research-based evidence to their classroom practice. The current study consists of 7 interviews conducted face-to-face, by internet video telephony and through asynchronous text messaging with English language teachers around the world. Interviews focused on teachers’ listening pedagogy, their understanding of task-based pedagogy and the use of materials in teaching. A phenomenological analysis of what participants said in interviews is taken to explain reasons for the author’s understanding of the data, less in the hope of a generalizable set of findings but more toward insight into what teachers do, their ideas about authenticity, their understanding of TBLT and its various frameworks, use of theory and how research is connecting and failing to connect with working English language teachers in various contexts.
Prestige and content biases together shape the cultural transmission of narratives

Published: August 2020

Context-based cultural transmission biases such as prestige are thought to have been a primary driver in shaping the dynamics of human cultural evolution. However, few empirical studies have measured the importance of prestige relative to other effects, such as the content biases present within transmitted information. Here, we report the findings of an experimental transmission study designed to compare the simultaneous effects of a high- or low-prestige model with the presence of content containing social, survival, emotional, moral, rational, or counterintuitive information. Results from multimodel inference reveal that prestige is a significant factor in determining salience and recall, but that several content biases, specifically social, survival, negative emotional, and biological counterintuitive information, are significantly more influential. Further, we find evidence that prestige serves as a conditional learning strategy when no content cues are available. Our results demonstrate that content biases serve a vital and underappreciated role in cultural transmission.
Sociolinguistic Properties of Word Embeddings
Authors: Arseniev-Koehler Alina , Foster Jacob G.
Published: August 2020

This is a preprint for a book chapter published in Dehghani, Morteza, and Ryan L. Boyd, eds. Handbook of Language Analysis in Psychology. Guilford Publications, 2022. In this chapter, we describe the burgeoning empirical evidence showing how meanings captured in word embeddings correspond to human meanings. We then review the theoretical evidence illustrating how word embeddings correspond to — and diverge from — human cognitive strategies to represent and process meaning. In turn, these divergences illustrate challenges and future directions for research with word embeddings.
Subependymal Giant Cell Astrocytoma without Clinically or Genetically Identifiable Tuberous Sclerosis Complex: A Case Report
Authors: J. Farrell Christopher , Hafazalla Karim , Y. Ye Donald , Chao Timothy , Curtis Mark , J. Farrell Christopher
Published: August 2020

Background: Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) is a World Health Organization grade I tumor
most commonly located in the lateral ventricles near the foramen of Monro. They are primarily associated
with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), an autosomal dominant inherited condition that leads to a variety
of tumors throughout the body. TSC must be diagnosed via either genetic criteria or clinical criteria. Cases
of SEGA in patients without both genetically or clinically identifiable TSC are scarce, with only two
instances identified of those genetically screened in the literature. We describe what we believe is only the
third such case, a 22-year-old patient with no other clinical or genetic indicators for tuberous sclerosis.
Case Description: The patient is a 22-year-old Caucasian female who experienced progressive symptoms
of headaches, tinnitus and visual obscuration. A magnetic resonance imaging study of the brain revealed a
homogeneously enhancing mass in the right lateral ventricle with obstruction of the foramen of Monro. The
patient underwent a right frontal craniotomy for transcortical-transventricular resection of the mass.
Histologic examination of the tumor revealed a diagnosis of SEGA. Germline genetic tests for both TSC1
and TSC2 were negative, and no additional clinical features were present. The patient was thus not felt to
meet the criteria for a diagnosis of TSC based on the absence of clinical features, family history, and
negative genetic testing.
Conclusion: Although a rare phenomenon, SEGA should remain on the differential diagnosis for patients
with newly found periventricular tumors and absence of TSC clinical features.

Published: August 2020

This research was conducted to investigate a suitable location for the OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) pilot plant in North Bali. The investigation was done by calculating the theoretical potential of electric power output using the method of Uehara and Ikegami (1990) for closed cycle OTEC. OTEC power plants require a temperature difference between surface and bottom water layers at least 20°C. Temperature data were obtained from the HYCOM temperature model for a period of 9 years (2008 - 2017) at 4 points which were verified with field data taken in 2017 using KR Geomarin III. The results of field measurements show that the sea surface temperature (SST) in the study area ranges from 28 to 31°C while at depth of 800 m 5.75°C. ∆T values range from 22 to 25°C. Verification of modelling temperature and measurement temperature shows that the modeling results resemble the temperature of North Bali Waters. Analyses results for the four points showed that B-11, located in the Tedjakula area, has the largest electrical power output (71,109 MW). Thus, point B-11 is the best location for development of OTEC pilot plant in North Bali Waters.

El presente trabajo reflexivo busca demostrar la necesidad de una reingeniería del Estado de Derecho en Bolivia para posibilitar una mejor y más saludable democracia y hacer posible el “vivir en Constitución” (y no solo darse una Constitución) en la que los derechos humanos sean efectivamente ejercidos por los ciudadanos. Para eso se hará un repaso crítico a la última crisis política y social que el país ha vivido (2019), se analizarán los excesos del ejercicio del poder (hiperpresidencialismo), la efectiva inexistencia de frenos y contrapesos y los problemas del sistema de justicia, para luego arribar a propuestas preliminares que permitan modificar “la sala de máquinas de la Constitución”.
Sistematización del código de procedimiento constitucional brasileño : la consolidación de los derechos fundamentales en la ejecución de juicios internacionales de la corte interamericana de derechos humanos en Brasil.
Authors: Tibiricá Amaral Sérgio , Ferreira Nunes Amanda
Published: August 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la interacción entre las jurisdicciones nacionales e internacionales en el contexto de las violaciones sistemáticas de los derechos humanos por parte del Estado brasileño. Mediante el análisis de la tríada que constituyen el proceso, la jurisdicción y las acciones constitucionales que involucran el proceso constitucional, los autores sostienen que la supervisión del cumplimiento de las decisiones internacionales a nivel internacional demuestra que Brasil no es capaz de hacer cumplir las decisiones de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (CorteIDH), surgiendo la necesidad de creación de un procedimiento que permita el control efectivo de la legalidad de los actos procesales practicados por la jurisdicción estatal. Por otra parte, al día de hoy no existe en Brasil una disposición constitucional para la ejecución de las sentencias de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, ya que el Derecho Procesal Constitucional actúa solo como una disciplina instrumental para la sistematización de un Código de Procedimiento Constitucional, con el objetivo de regular la ejecución de sentencias internacionales y hacer cumplir el orden constitucional en el derecho interno.
Control difuso de convencionalidad : transición de la cultura jurídica en América Latina.
Authors: Martínez Lazcano Alfonso Jaime
Published: August 2020

El control difuso de convencionalidad implica un cambio de paradigma en la manera de comprender, aplicar e interpretar el Derecho para los jueces de Latinoamérica. Se configura una innovación dinámica y extensiva porque las normas convencionales penetraron en el Derecho positivo de los Estados parte de la Convención de Viena sobre el Derecho de los Tratados, los cuales, por mucho tiempo, se limitaron a desarrollar su actividad en un circuito jurídico cerrado. La evolución, en América Latina, del control difuso de convencionalidad pretende transformar a los jueces de todos los Estados parte en los primeros guardianes de las normas convencionales de protección de derechos humanos, constituyéndose así en la única estrategia eficaz para lograr ese propósito frente a las precarias posibilidades de que los problemas lleguen a solventarse ante la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. Si bien es cierto que el control difuso de convencionalidad tiene su fundamento en la Convención Americana de Derechos Humanos y no en las decisiones de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, la jurisprudencia generada ha sido fundamental para entender su impacto.
La cláusula compromisoria como excepción en los procesos ejecutivos : una tesis sobre su improcedencia.
Authors: Barreto Lezama Adrián
Published: August 2020

El presente artículo expone las bases teóricas que tratan de sustentar la improcedencia de la cláusula compromisoria como excepción en los procesos ejecutivos, a partir de la consideración de la naturaleza misma del proceso arbitral, el cual es eminentemente declarativo, y en consideración a las facultades expresamente conferidas por la ley a los árbitros, lo que supone la imposibilidad de ventilar en sede arbitral procesos de naturaleza ejecutiva, aunque haya una cláusula que expresamente señale que las controversias suscitadas con base en ese contrato deberán ser ventiladas ante un tribunal de arbitramento.

Published: August 2020

El presente documento analiza los determinantes del crecimiento empresarial del sector manufacturero en Colombia, con particular énfasis en factores internos como el capital humano, el valor agregado, el valor de las ventas, los costos de producción, administración y ventas, con base la teoría del crecimiento proporcional de Gibrat (1931). Se tuvo en consideración las diferencias entre departamentos y se realizó una estimación econométrica de datos panel para el periodo 2008-2016, empleando para tal fin la información estadística de la Encuesta Anual Manufacturera del DANE. Las variables que influyen en el crecimiento empresarial de las empresas del sector manufacturero son: costo de producción, administración y ventas, valor agregado y años de escolaridad. Si se considera la aglomeración de departamentos según niveles del PIB, aquellos con niveles de ingresos bajos y medios, carecen de mano de obra calificada. Lo contrario sucede con departamentos que presentan niveles de ingresos altos quienes se convierten en receptores de la mano de obra calificada, lo que explica el incremento en las ventas y el valor agregado en los departamentos.

Published: August 2020

Background: Improving the performance of health workers on neonatal resuscitation will be critical to ensure that the babies are effectively ventilated. We conducted a study to evaluate whether a bag-and-mask ventilation with monitor is effective in improving neonatal resuscitation practice in a simulated setting. Methods: This is a cross-over design conducted in 6 public hospitals with 82 health workers of Nepal nested over a large scale stepped wedged quality improvement project. A one-day training on neonatal resuscitation was conducted. At the end of the training, participants were evaluated on the bag-and-mask ventilation performance in a manikinbased on the tidal volume, positive end expiratory pressure and air leakage from the maskin two sessions (monitor displayed versus hidden). The comparison of the neonatal resuscitation performance with and without monitor displayed is calculated. We also conducted assessment of confidence with or without monitor of the health workers. Results: Adequacy of ventilation using bag-and-mask was better when the health workers were displayed monitor (90%) vs without monitor (76%) (p<0.01). The air leakage from the mask reduced when the monitor was displayed (12%) vs without (30%). The PEEP improved when the health workers used monitor as guide to conduct neonatal resuscitation in the manikin then without monitor displayed. The participants felt more confident performing ventilations during the visible sessions. Conclusions: The ventilation function monitor helped participants to improve their ventilation skills through realtime feedback of important ventilation parameters. Clinical evaluation of needs to be done to assess the effectiveness of the device. Keywords: Clinical performance; monivent neo; neonatal resuscitation; Nepal; ventilation monitor.

Published: August 2020

Background: Diarrhea is a leading cause of childhood mortality globally as well as in Nepal. Data all around the world has shown the highest prevalence of diarrheal disease amongst 6-12 months old children. This paper aims to assess the existing diarrhea preventive practices carried out by caretakers of children from 6-12 months of age and their predicting factors in Chitwan district of Nepal.Methods: A cross -sectional survey was conducted among 384 caretakers of children aged 6-12 months from four different MCH clinics of Chitwan district, Nepal. Data were collected by using face- to-face interviews with structured questionnaires from April 15 to May 30, 2018. Univariate analysis, chi square, Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression analysis were the statistics used for data analysis. Results: The findings showed that only around one-fourth (22.7%) of the caretakers followed good diarrhea preventive practices. Stepwise multiple regression showed that age, monthly family income, knowledge, attitude and accessibility to WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene), could predict the diarrhea preventive practices of caretakers by only 20.5%. Accessibility to WASH (beta= 0.246) had the highest predictive power and age (beta= 0.015) had the least predictive power of diarrhea preventive practices amongst them. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that there is a definite need to promote diarrhea preventive practices. Local government and non-government organizations should establish activities to improve accessibility to WASH, caretaker’s attitude and caretaker’s knowledge in order to ultimately improve their preventive practices.Keywords: Caretakers; children; chitwan; diarrhea preventive practices; 6-12 months old; Nepal.

Османське містечко Тульча та його фортеці у ХVІІ-ХІХ ст.
Authors: Сапожников Ігор
Published: August 2020

Стаття присвячена вивченню оборонних споруд м. Тульча (Румунія), що існували з першої половини ХVІІ до середини ХІХ ст. Велика їх частина виконувала роль передмостових укріплень у переправ через Георгіївський рукав р. Дунай на дорозі до Ізмаїлу. Протягом зазначеного періоду на вже відомих і наведених у роботі планах, картах та іконографічних джерелах зафіксовано низку різночасових об’єктів. Першим був османський замок 1630-х – 1810-х (?) рр., який вдалося точно локалізувати, відновивши його конструкцію та розміри. Другим була бастіонна фортеця, що мала дуже коротку історію (1825-1829 рр.). Частина земляних редутів або фортів (табій) існували як мінімум з 1771 року, а інші пізніше побудували турецькі чи російські війська. Крім того, на кількох планах відзначена мечеть, вперше згадана Евліею Челебі у 1657 р., що стояла на місці нинішньої джамії султана Абдулазіза (Moscheea Azizyie, побудови 1863 р.), а в інших джерелах – ще не менше трьох мечетей у західній і центральній частинах містечка.

The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases in recent decades has posed a serious threat to public health. Routes of transmission differ, but the respiratory droplet or airborne route has the greatest potential to disrupt social intercourse, while being amenable to prevention by the humble face mask. Different types of masks give different levels of protection to the user. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has even resulted in a global shortage of face masks and the raw materials that go into them, driving individuals to self-produce masks from household items. At the same time, research has been accelerated towards improving the quality and performance of face masks, e.g., by introducing properties such as antimicrobial activity and superhydrophobicity. This review will cover mask-wearing from the public health perspective, the technical details of commercial and home-made masks, and recent advances in mask engineering, disinfection, and materials and discuss the sustainability of mask-wearing and mask production into the future.

Human needs for energy are mostly obtained from electrical energy, both for daily needs and for industrial needs. PT. PLN (Persero) is one of the state electricity companies that serves the community's need for electricity. Transformer or better known as "transformer" or "transformer" is actually an electrical device that converts AC power at one voltage level to one voltage level based on the principle of electromagnetic induction without changing its frequency. Because of the lack of distribution of transformers around the Samarinda area, it can result in electricity demand services to the community. Therefore we need a method that can facilitate the distribution of PT. PLN Rayon Kota Samarinda, one of the methods is by applying Naïve Bayes. The purpose of this study is to facilitate the distribution in each region and the type of transformer used. The results of calculations using the Naïve Bayes method, the results obtained the probability of grouping training data is P (160) = 0.006441224, P (100) = 0.016304348, P (80) = 0.001610306, P (50) = 0.001610306, P (40) = 0.000402576, P P (20) = 0,000679348. From the calculation results, it appears that the probability value P (100) is more dominant, then 100 is recommended for real consumption which is used as training data. The Naïve Bayes method produces an accuracy rate of 92%.

One of the Nawa Cita programs established by the government is to develop Indonesia from the periphery by strengthening human resources, infrastructure and services to be the basis of the government's commitment to develop the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) region. As a province bordering the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, NTT has become a target for the development of border areas, namely the construction of an Integrated Cross-border Post (PLBN) with various supporting facilities. Integrated PLBN is a "home" for CIQ services (Customs / customs, Immigrate / immigration, and Quarantine / quarantine) under the authority of 5 ministries. At present, each service does not yet have an integrated system and does not yet have supporting infrastructure to optimize coordination and collaboration between institutions so that it affects the effectiveness and efficiency of one-stop services. The purpose of this research is to create a cross platform information system architecture model to support business processes carried out by the customs, immigration and quarantine authorities in three (3) Integrated State Border Posts (PLBN) in the NTT region by applying the concept of Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP). The proposed information system architecture aims to solve the problems encountered in carrying out business processes and services as well as supporting national government policies and strategies in managing border regions between countries. The results of this study are expected to be applied to support the business processes carried out by connecting all relevant institutions in order to realize good governance in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0.
