Background: Challenge between parents and their children is a rapidly growing phenomenon in Iran. The communication challenges of adolescence with emphasis on social media in this study is a phenomenon that based on the changes and developments of adolescence, can affect the nature and quality of family relationships, question the parental authority, and cause changes in regulations. The present study explored the communication challenges of parents and adolescents with a focus on the use of the Internet and social media. Methods: This qualitative study was performed using content analysis. The research population consisted of several parents with children (daughters) who were studying in the first secondary school in District 11 of Tehran in the academic year 2019-2020. The participants were 15 parents who were selected using purposive sampling and based on the theoretical saturation criterion. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and were then analyzed, codified, and categorized. Finally, after the extraction of the themes, the relevant and common themes were combined in the form of secondary and main categories. Results: Based on the content analysis of the data collected from the interviews, 4 main categories were identified: social media opportunities, social media coping strategies, social media problems from the parents’ point of view, and communication problems with the child. Conclusion: In the modern world, parent-adolescent communication challenges are intermingled with the common challenges of using social media. However, it is impossible to ignore the effective and useful presence of social media in modern life. Acquiring knowledge, training conflict resolution skills, and recognizing the factors related to conflicts between parents and adolescents can help parents and pave the way for reducing parent-adolescent conflicts and improving the quality of parent-adolescent communication concerning social media use.

The most important step in the choice of the parameters of trapezoidal wings is to ensure the design of the change in the circulation on their scope, as close as possible to the distribution of circulation in the elliptic wing as possible, which leads to the minimum value of its inductive resistance at a given value of the lift.Recently, when solving such a problem, the method of forming the main geometric sizes of the wing was distributed in terms of the equality of the so-called forms of trapezoidal () and equal to the elliptic area () wings.This approach turned out to be quite effective in the formation of geometric parameters of the wings of light and medium aircraft.However, for heavy aircraft with a large area of the wing, the plan of which is formed by three and more trapezes, there were difficulties in determining the coefficients of forms, which required the specified models for determining the coefficients of ellipticity () in assessing the effectiveness of heavy aircraft wings with their multivariate modification changes.The use of a refined model of the ellipticity coefficient is made on the examples of evaluating the effectiveness  of trapezoidal  wings of such heavy aircraft as IL-86, C-5A, IL-76 and An-124-100. It has been established that the wings of IL-76 and C-5A airplanes are the highest ellipticity. An-124-100 domestic aircraft wing is somewhat inferior to them in the magnitude of the ellipticity coefficient, which should be borne in mind when developing subsequent modifications of this aircraft.

When the high - lift system are released, the aerodynamic flow around the wing changes significantly, which in turn leads to a change in the stress-strain state of the wing. This is due not only to an increase in lift due to a change in the curvature of the wing and an increase in the wing area, but also a change in the position of the center of pressure relative to the wing chord. A significant increase in torque leads to a change in the stress-strain state of the wing mean joints. An aerodynamic calculation was performed using ANSYS CFX to obtain the position of the point of action of the lift force in each elements of the wing (slat, wing box and flap). Were obtained the relative positions of the points of action of the lift of individual parts of the wing: the slat, the wing box and the flap. These values were used to apply the forces acting from the high - lift system. The distributed air load was proportionally distributed across the slat, wing box and flap in accordance with the obtained aerodynamic calculations using ANSYS CFX. Plots of internal force factors were plotted, such as a diagram of shear force, bending and torque for wing configurations without extended high - lift system, as well as with takeoff and landing positions of high - lift system. Obtaining the value of the internal force factors, were used to create calculation models. The structural elements of the wing, in particular the attachment points of the high - lift system, operate in a complexly stressed state. This complicates the process of predicting the fatigue life of these elements. To obtain a competitive aircraft, it is necessary to develop new methods of wing design with widespread use of integrated systems. The study of the change in the stress-strain state of the wing with the extended position of the high - lift system makes it possible to predict the fatigue life with high accuracy. The process of creating and preparing a wing model for calculation, setting boundary conditions and choosing the optimal size of a mesh element is described.

Computer simulation allows you to monitor the load of material and its behavior in the course of molds, to determine the energy parameters of the process, to reflect the kinematics of the tool movement, the transmitting agent and the workpiece itself. This provides a significant reduction in time and expenses for natural experiments, in general, a significant decrease in the volumes of technological preparation of stamping works. The indicated method is most suitable for improving modern stamping production using transmitting environments. For numerical experiments in the punching region of billets from the sheet, the most acceptable variational method or ICE is the most acceptable. This approach provides minimal discrepancy between the results of natural and numerical experiments. Its is widely used in various programmates Nastran, Ansys, Katy, etc., which allows you to optimize the process of receiving data reduction in time, quickly edit to all sorts of changes on deformation conditions. During the process of shaping the convex corner there are significant changes in geometry related to corrugated formation on the collateral part of the workpiece. For this reason, the approach to the formation of a mesh sampling for the MSE calculations have the features of methods of use in the size of the breakdown elements, in particular for the transmitting medium and the leaf workpiece, the size of the elements small, and for equipping can be selected large, except the flexible surface. The construction of the mathematical model based on the ITS allows not only to determine the necessary parameters of the process, but also to consider the process of shapes in individual stages, to determine the painting of a stress-deformed state, to identify the most dangerous zones of bending-stamping, changing the thickness of the material, and trace the behavior of the material after unloading . All this makes it possible to evaluate the quality of the resulting product according to the specified parameters of the process, as well as the desired results by varying the initial parameters of the model.
Peripheral or Marginal Participation?

Published: September 2021

For academically bound international students, university-based Intensive English Programs (IEPs) frequently function as an avenue to American undergraduate or graduate degree programs.  This qualitative study examined how one university-based IEP was preparing its academically bound international students and facilitating their transitions to matriculated study.  Lave and Wenger’s (1991) theory of Situated Learning was utilized to explore international students’ participation in the IEP as a community of practice and the IEP’s own marginality within the university structure.  We found that university-based IEPs can play a critical role in helping international students gain the competence and knowledge necessary to begin legitimate peripheral participation in degree programs.  However, the extent to which IEP students were able to participate in the larger university community was limited by the IEP’s own marginality in the university community and the fact that the IEP is ultimately not a discipline-specific community of practice.

International students report higher sociocultural and academic stress when settling into a new university compared with their local counterparts. Three disciplines in the health professions collaborated to create a transition program addressing international student health and well-being concerns. Commencing students and senior student mentors participated in a four-session program of activities to reflect on their current study/work practices, and learn self-management strategies. They developed plans for coping with cultural, language, academic and social barriers, and assisted in improving physical and mental health and well-being. Of the 26 participants who attended sessions, 15 participated in in-depth interviews to share their experiences of the program. ‘Facilitating adjustment’, ‘Establishing relationships’, ‘Gaining new skills and knowledge’, and ‘Transforming beliefs and behaviour’ were the four themes identified that captured and explicated the impact of the initiative. The program demonstrated a positive impact in creating a supportive learning environment for commencing and continuing international students.

In the scope of higher education internationalisation, Portuguese universities have been receiving an increasing number of students from Portuguese-Speaking countries, namely African countries, at the level of PhD studies. As highlighted in research, pursuing a PhD in an overseas context entails critical challenges for students, supervisors and higher education institutions. Against this background, this paper reports on the challenges faced by international African students attending a PhD programme in Education at a Portuguese university. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven students and results from thematic analysis show that the main challenges relate to language, integration into a different pedagogical/academic culture, adaptation to a different research culture, loneliness/homesickness and financial difficulties. Implications of findings for institutional policy and practice are put forward.
Exploring the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on International Students and Universities in Canada
Authors: Firang David , Mensah Joseph
Published: September 2021

International students in Canada make enormous contribution to the Canadian economy. As domestic students’ enrolment has declined, international students’ admissions have compensated for economic losses that Canadian universities incur from the decline of domestic students’ enrolment. The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting international students’ admissions to Canadian universities.  Drawing on various secondary data sources, this article argues that international students in Canada are vulnerable due to their temporary immigration status. They are excluded from most governments’ relief programs aimed at supporting Canadians during this pandemic. Most international students experience psychological and financial difficulties amid the pandemic. The situation is triggering a further decline in international students’ admission, creating economic implications for Canadian universities. By exploring the challenges facing international students and the strategies required to strengthen international students' resilience and universities’ capacities, the paper contributes to our understanding of the plights of international students and educational institutions amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: September 2021

This research investigates how the acculturation motivation (AM) of new international students develops over time, and which factors play a role in this development. In the context of a Dutch university, we interviewed 25 students from 17 countries thrice over eight months. The results show that initial AM levels can be categorized as high or low.  These AM levels evolved into four patterns in the three interview rounds: high-low-low, high-low-high, low-high-low and low-high-high. After four months, twelve factors emerged as affecting the development of students’ AM levels. Prominent factors were prior international experience, language difficulties, and perceived student identities. After eight months, seven additional factors contributed to subsequent changes in students’ AM levels. Prominent factors were the perceived international learning environment, friendship networks, and teachers’ role in intercultural contact. These imply that universities can introduce target interventions which could improve their international students’ acculturation experiences at specific times.

Authors: Favas K , Bindu A
Published: September 2021

Elizabethkingia meningoseptica are Gram-negative rod bacteria that are commonly found in the environment. The bacteria have also been associated with nosocomial infections, having been isolated on contaminated medical equipment, especially in neonatal wards. Rapid diagnosis and early institution of appropriate therapy for prolonged period are essential for the management of such infections. Here, we report a case of bacteremia due to E. meningoseptica in a neonate who was presented with respiratory distress and seizure episodes. A diagnosis of bacterial meningitis was made based on clinical findings and examination of cerebrospinal fluid. The baby was treated with antibiotics and other supportive measures, that helped to improve the condition. During follow-up, the baby showed developmental delay with hydrocephalus. E. meningoseptica can cause severe infection, with high risk of mortality and neurological sequelae in neonates. Intensive care and multidisciplinary interventions are crucial for the case management. Awareness among clinicians along with correct diagnosis in microbiology laboratory is required to minimize the fatal outcome associated with this infection.

Authors: Varghese Jean V. , Tom Antriya Annie
Published: September 2021

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited condition that causes small fluid-filled sacs called cysts to develop in the kidneys. ADPKD affects 1 in 500–1000 people. We report the case of a 70-year-old male patient with complaints of difficulty in passing urine, lower abdominal pain, fever with chills, and hematuria. The ultrasonography report of the abdomen and pelvis showed bilaterally mildly enlarged kidneys with multiple variable simple cysts slightly distorting the normal renal architecture and mildly increased residual visualized cortical echoes concerning adult polycystic kidney changes. The therapeutic regimen was targeted to treat the symptoms of the patient. In India, there is a need for epidemiological studies on ADPKD since insignificant data are present that could rationally reflect its prevalence and incidence, for which this case report could be utilized.

Sagara Anakan Lagoon has been continuously receded caused by the high sedimentation rate. The deposited sediment volume was predicted to be around 1 million m3/year. This phenomenon, if not treated will harm the existing ecosystem and also could cause many kinds of its native biota extinct. Engineering could be applied to prevent it. However, the transport and sedimentation pattern must be known for it to be effective.  Silting in Sagara Anakan Lagoon simulated by using MIKE21 numerical model which could simulate sediment transport in 2D horizontal scheme. The deposited sediment, mainly consisted of mud, so the model must be capable for simulating cohesive sediment transport. Model is set to simulate one year of morphological event which reached with the usage of time speed up acceleration factor. Model calibrated to be able to simulate a deposition event in the order of one million m3/year. Model calibrated by tuning critical bed shear stress for deposition   and erosion  parameters as a base for sensitivity analysis. Model result shown that the sedimentation in Sagara Anakan Lagoon is caused by asymmetry of flood and ebb current. Major siltation happened around the delta with the maximum and mean observed bed change are approximately 0.6 m and 0.16 m respectively. The setup for this model could be used as a base model for planning an engineering approach for controlling sediment in Sagara Anakan Lagoon.Keywords: Numerical model, cohesive sediment, mud transport, estuary modellingKata Kunci: Model numerik, sedimen kohesif, transpor lumpur, pemodelan estuari

Abstract
An inclusive society is a society that involves all elements and aims to empower and promote social, economic, and political diversity. In an inclusive society, everyone can participate effectively and live together. To realize an inclusive society, we need an understanding of the importance of an inclusive education system that has an important impact on the development and maintenance of education for all (Education for All / EFA). Inclusive education in Indonesia still has many gaps, including low acceptance from peers which can lead to acts of harassment / bullying. This harassment action arises because of the low understanding of the community especially peers towards individuals with special needs (IBK). Whereas support from peers is able to increase IBK interaction with other friends, increase IBK involvement in academic activities, social participation, initiate new friendships for IBK. For this reason, friends need to improve their empathy skills so that they can provide support for IBK. This community service activity is carried out to adolescents with discussion activities, peer tutoring, and role play to change perceptions and increase empathy for IBK
 
Key words –training, empathy, bullying, individual with special needs
 
Abstrak
Masyarakat inklusif merupakan masyarakat yang melibatkan semua unsur dan bertujuan untuk memberdayakan dan mempromosikan keberagaman social, ekonomi, dan politik. Dalam masyarakat inklusif, semua orang dapat berpartisipasi secara efektif dan hidup bersama. Untuk mewujudkan masyarakat inklusif, diperlukan pemahaman akan pentingnya sistem pendidikan inklusif yang memiliki dampak penting dalam perkembangan dan mempertahankan pendidikan untuk semua (Education for All/EFA). Pendidikan inklusif di Indonesia masih terdapat banyak ketimpangan, diantaranya rendahnya penerimaan dari teman sebaya yang dapat berujung pada tindakan perundungan/bullying. Tindakan perundungan ini muncul karena rendahnya pemahaman masyarakat terutama teman sebaya terhadap individu berkebutuhan khusus (IBK). Padahal dukungan dari teman sebaya merupakan dapat meningkatkan interaksi IBK dengan teman-teman lainnya, meningkatkan keterlibatan IBK dalam kegiatan akademik, partisipasi sosial, memulai pertemanan baru bagi IBK. Untuk itu teman sabaya perlu meningkatkan kemampuan empati agar dapat memberikan dukungan bagi IBK. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan kepada remaja dengan kegiatan diskusi, tutor sebaya, dan roleplay untuk mengubah persepsi dan meningkatkan empati terhadap IBK.

AS REFORMAS POMBALINAS DA INSTRUÇÃO PÚBLICA NO BRASIL
Authors: Santos Elaine Maria
Published: September 2021

Levando-se em consideração que a historiografia brasileira, influenciada pelos escritos de Fernando de Azevedo, por muito tempo afastou-se dos estudos relacionados às questões educacionais antecedentes à década de 1930, faz-se necessário retomar as pesquisas e escritos sobre as contribuições setecentista e oitocentistas para o sistema educacional brasileiro. Dessa forma, o presente artigo apresenta, de forma sucinta, as principais peças legislativas do período pombalino, no que se refere à instrução pública, analisando as dificuldades de implantação das Reformas Pombalinas no Brasil, e discutindo sobre a eficácia das ações desenvolvidas em terras brasileiras. Após uma análise da legislação e da bibliografia relacionada a essa temática fica claro que, apesar de não ter se estendido a todo o território Brasileiro, as reformas pombalinas não podem ser consideradas como um caso de fracasso, uma vez que o sistema educacional vigente é reflexo de muitas das determinações verificadas no período Josefino, que teve o Marquês de Pombal como um de seus maiores expoentes.Palavras-chave: Reformas pombalinas.

A ILHA COMO LOCUS HORRENDUS EM EDGAR ALLAN POE
Authors: Vinicius do Amaral Felipe Cleber
Published: September 2021

Pretende-se analisar o romance The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, de Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), publicado em 1838 pela editora Harper & Brothers. Dentre vários temas envolvendo motins, tempestades, ataques de animais selvagens, antropofagia, naufrágios etc., a narrativa em questão relata uma experiência vivenciada na ilha de Tsalal, parte de um arquipélago situado no extremo sul. Os habitantes dessa região insólita, todos negros, simulam cordialidade, mas, em segredo, tramam a ruína dos nautas. O romance foi recorrentemente concebido como expressão do racismo de Poe ou como desdobramento de traumas e angústias do autor. Buscar-se-á analisar algumas leituras psicologizantes e biografistas para, em seguida, estudar a representação desse território insular e de seus habitantes levando-se em consideração dois lugares-comuns que Edgar Alan Poe retomou: a obrigação da hospitalidade e o locus horrendus que, no caso, foi empregado para retratar Tsalal.Palavras-chave: Edgar Allan Poe; locus horrendus; hospitalidade.

Neste artigo, consideramos como o tema saúde dos escravos produziu escritos no Brasil que mudaram de forma ao longo do tempo, partindo de preocupações pragmáticas dos senhores e autoridades públicas durante a vigência do escravismo, no século XIX, passando pelas apreensões do pensamento social com o povo no pós-abolição e ao longo da primeira metade do XIX até a conformação de um campo de pesquisa histórico formalizado. Esses três momentos conformam a estrutura desse artigo e compreendem escritos de natureza muito diversificada para serem apreendidos por um único rótulo – exceto pelo fato de que lidam com um mesmo objeto, a saúde escrava. Assim, nosso objetivo em cada seção deste painel é apresentar obras e autores representativos da natureza diversificada das preocupações sobre a saúde dos escravos em cada momento e analisar as condições nas quais emergiram essas preocupações.Palavras-chave: História.

Published: September 2021

Робота присвячена задачі вiдновлення внутрiшньої структури тривимiрного тiла за допомогою iнформацiї про неї у виглядi томограм, що заданi на деякiй системi площин, якi перетинають об’єкт дослiдження. Ця задача виникає на практицi в тих випадках, коли серед площин, якi входять в експериментальнi данi, немає площини, що складається з того чи iншого набору точок, якi цiкавлять дослiдника. Наприклад, така задача може виникнути пiсля того, як пацiєнт пройшов дослiдження на медичному томографi. Пiсля аналiзу отриманих томограм виникає необхiднiсть знайти за їх допомогою ще одну чи декiлька томограм в площинах, якi перетинають тiло та не спiвпадають нi з жодною iз заданих площин. В статті зазначається, що оператори інтерфлетації функцій є природнім узагальненням операторів інтерполяції функцій трьох змінних. Ці оператори відновлюють функції (можливо, наближено) за відомими їх слідами на заданій системі площин. Саме такі експериментальні дані використовуються в дистанційних методах, зокрема в комп’ютерній томографії. Отже, інтерфлетація – математичний апарат, природно пов'язаний із задачею відновлення характеристик об'єктів за їх відомими проекціями. Як і у випадку інтерполяції, похибки в експериментальних даних (в даному випадку, в томограмах) привносяться також і в оператори інтерфлетації. В математиці існує альтернатива операторам інтерполяції – оператори апроксимації. Це оператори, що побудовані шляхом згладжування експериментальних даних за допомогою поліномів, раціональних функцій, тригонометричних поліномів, вейвлетів тощо. Будується оператор мішаної апроксимації функції трьох змінних за допомогою поліномів Бернштейна; наводиться загальний вигляд похибки наближення побудованим оператором та оцінка цієї похибки. Також в роботі будується та досліджується чотиривимірна математична модель тривимірного тіла, що змінюється з часом. Наводиться обчислювальний експеримент з відновлення внутрішньої структури рухомого серця людини за томограмами, що лежать на системі взаємно перпендикулярних площин, які поступають з реально діючого комп’ютерного томографа.

Modeling of Evapotranspiration (ETo) in a Medium Urban Park within a Megacity by Using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Model
Authors: Algretawee Hayder , Alshama Ghofran
Published: September 2021

Evapotranspiration (ETo) is considered a main component of the hydrological cycle. This study was carried out on a medium-size park within a highly urbanized area, close to the center of Melbourne city. The purpose of the study is to calculate the reference evapotranspiration (ETo), particularly at a specified spot in a corner of the park. The hand-held device used to collect data gave consistent results and reduced the need for assumptions. The Penman-Montieth equation was used to calculate the reserved ETo. To build an ETo model, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was adopted to predict ETo. Three models were built to select the best model, based on the least Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and the highest coefficient of determination (R2). Results showed a contrast between the observed and predicted magnitudes of ETo. Both of the observed and predicted magnitudes for ETo are higher than most recent studies. Data from the specified location shows a difference in ETo magnitudes relative to the fixed meteorological stations. This study supports that climate change causes increasing magnitudes of reference evapotranspiration ETo.
Experimental Investigation and Numerical Prediction of the Effects of Cutting Tool Geometry During Turning of AISI 316L Steel
Authors: Benmeddour Amor
Published: September 2021

In this work, a numerical and an experimental study aimed to gain a better understanding of the impact of tool geometry such as (rake angle and cutting edge radius) on the temperature distribution and residual stresses in machining surface of AISI 316L stainless steel have been presented. To evaluate the experimental results, various experimental equipment was used, such as a conventional lathe to carry out the machining operations, the cutting force was measured using a Kistler dynamometer and X-ray diffraction technique was employed for determination of the residual stresses distribution on the machined surfaces. In addition, A thermo-mechanically coupled finite element (FE) analysis for cutting process is developed through ABAQUS code to predict the temperature distribution and residual stresses using an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) approach. An inverse identification method has been used to determine the adequate Johnson-Cook (JC) material model parameters to obtain a good correlation between the cutting force measurements and numerical one. The FE model was then validated by comparison of the numerical results of residual stresses with experimental measurements for different tool geometries, which revealed a reasonable agreement.

Un paisatge urbà medieval a final del segle XIII: Castelló d’Empúries i les viles del seu entorn
Authors: Farías Zurita Víctor
Published: September 2021

Castelló d’Empúries, a small town in Old Catalonia, capital of the county of Empúries, may be considered a regional example of that process we know as medieval small scale urbanization. Its history, from the 12th century on, is that of the build-up of a particular economy which will function as starting-point of those circuits of exchange relationship which are necessary for medieval urbanisation. In functional terms the town of Castelló, connected to the major Mediterranean comercial circuits, has to be considered not only as a local centre but also as a node in a network of linked urban centers. Competition between lords of towns and cities has to be considered as a major element in definining the specific place of every center in a regional network.
FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO UNIVERSITY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMES: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF THE ADULT EDUCATION IN SPAIN
Authors: Sacristán-Pérez-Minayo Gonzalo , Martín-Moro Ruth María
Published: September 2021

Lifelong learning plays an important role due to the actual needs that we have in terms of knowledge-based economy. It provides education both to working and non-working people who want to be part of this developing society. In this study, two different levels of the Spanish Adult Education are assessed but not only from an individual point of view, but also from the point of view of cooperation between them in order to improve the teaching-learning process. Both the Education Centre of Olmedo (Olmedo, Spain) and the University of Burgos (Burgos, Spain) are described deep inside and likewise, the activities that they two are developing to interconnect both the two centres and the educational levels so that the learning process is never interrupted. Activities such as seminars, web pages management, oral presentations and questionnaires showing different aspects of the educational process will be discussed in the present study. The use of the new Information Technology and Communication (ICT) should be enhanced for effective learning of our adult students. From our results, it will be demonstrated that adults can be part of the education system and therefore gain new skills and knowledge that let them succeed in their lives.
Key words: adult education, developing society, lifelong learning, teaching-learning process, teaching methodology.
PROSPECTIVE CHEMISTRY TEACHERS’ PROBLEM SOLVING ACHIEVEMENT ACCORDING TO THEIR LEVELS OF METACOGNITIVE SKILLS
Authors: Temel Senar
Published: September 2021

This research aims at analysing how prospective teachers’ levels of metacognitive skills influence their problem solving achievement. The research was conducted with the participation of the 32 prospective teachers attending the Department of Chemistry Education of the Education Faculty of Hacettepe University and enrolled in Inorganic chemistry course in the 2010-2011 academic year. Metacognitive Activities Inventory, MCA-I and Chemical Bonding Achievement Test, CBAT were used as the tools of data collection. Descriptive statistics as well as one-way ANOVA were employed in the analysis of the data collected. Consequently, the prospective teachers were divided into three groups according to their levels of metacognitive skills. Following the one-way ANOVA, it was found that there were no statistically significant differences between the prospective teachers grouped on the basis of differing levels of metacognitive skills in terms of their achievement in problem solving.
Key words: achievement, metacognition, problem solving.
COLLEGE ENGLISH CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS IN CHINA: EXPECTATIONS AND RESPONSES
Authors: Gao Lianli
Published: September 2021

The purpose of the research reported here was firstly to examine the expectations placed on university teachers of English in China in relation to curriculum changes as evidenced in the College English Curriculum Requirements (For Trial Implementation, 2004), designed for non-English majors (hereafter CECR 2004). It further reports on a study of responses to these changes on the part of teachers, administrators and policy-makers as revealed in interviews. The study adopts a mixed method of inquiry to deal with how teachers made sense of multiple realities and constructed complicated interactions between CECR and themselves. Additionally, some aspects of the work of Bourdieu and Bernstein are taken to analyse and interpret the issues. The findings show that CECR gives the impression of being forward-looking, making reference to contemporary English language teaching (ELT) concepts. This leaves a great deal of freedom for individual universities to flesh out the details and adapt the content to their own contexts. However, teachers feel either frustrated with the lack of real change in the syllabus or threatened by new challenges such as the emphasis on speaking and listening for which they believe they have not been adequately prepared.

Published: September 2021

Introducción. Evaluar la condición física de resistencia en los estudiantes universitarios a través de test o pruebas físicas, para la detección de talentos deportivos, constituye una herramienta relevante. Objetivo. Incorporar un sistema de detección de talentos deportivos, desde el enfoque del diagnóstico oportuno, mediante programas de educación física universitarias, que permitan controlar y clasificar las capacidades físicas, teniendo en cuenta las características individuales de cada estudiante. Metodología. La investigación siguió un enfoque mixto, de tipo descriptivo empleando métodos teóricos y empíricos. La muestra estuvo constituida por 1098 estudiantes, cumpliendo el criterio de inclusión de cursar estudios en la Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH) en sus 7 facultades. Se trabajó con un único Test o prueba física, que aportó los resultados necesarios para la selección de los estudiantes con talento deportivo. Resultados. 1.  Se aporta un indicador esencial de medición del desempeño de la capacidad física de resistencia, facilitando el conocimiento respecto a la cantidad de estudiantes que pudieran tener las condiciones primarias para ser considerados posibles talentos deportivos. 2. Se reafirma la importancia y utilidad del diagnóstico oportuno, mediante la utilización de Test físicos para medir la condición física y facilitar la detección de los estudiantes que constituyen posibles potenciales deportivos. Conclusiones. Entre los aspectos más evaluados en el proceso de selección de talentos en cuanto a la capacidad de resistencia están los factores genéticos tales como: el VO2 máx., la frecuencia Cardiaca, las pulsaciones por minutos y la frecuencia respiratoria. Se demuestra que es esencial considerar la selección deportiva como un proceso en el que necesariamente deben involucrarse la mayor cantidad de practicantes, de forma que permita aplicar los Test de evaluación a la generalidad, cuanto mayor sea la muestra, mayor será la cantidad posibles a ser seleccionados para la práctica de un determinado deporte.

Published: September 2021

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is one of the most common infections worldwide, more commonly among the developing countries like Bangladesh. So its early detection and prompt treatment was a challenge and the burden of diagnostic challenge was higher if the patients smear negative for Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB).
Objective: Evaluate the diagnostic value of Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) for diagnosis of suspected Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) whose sputum for AFB smear neagtive.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational reserach was undertaken where 50 patients were included on the basis of specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. All patients who had negative smear for AFB but highly suspected for PTB underwent fibreoptic bronchoscopy to collect Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid for diagnostic testing in the form of BAL for AFB and mycobacterial culture in Lowenstein Jensen medium.
Results: The Male predominacy 29 (58%) was obserevd among the smear negative PTB patients. Clinically more than seventy percent (72%) presents with fever then cough with sputum and haemoptysis 62% and 32% respectively. Radiological cavitation 33 (66%) was the most common x-ray findings. After analysis of BAL for AFB about 31 (62%) patient found positive and on culture about mycobacterial growth found in 29 (58%) patients.
Conclusion: Bronchoalveolar lavage had a superior diagnostic value in patients with smear negative suspected pulmonary tuberculosis.
