Online learning impact on transitioning to ERT: Mexican ELT experiences
Authors: Hernández López Elizabeth M. , Escobar Mendoza M. Magdalena , Núñez Mercado Patricia , Bórquez Morales Lilia S.
Published: December 2022

This project set out to scrutinise the experiences of a group of students pursuing an online B.A. in English Language Teaching (ELT) at four different public universities in Mexico while being in-service English teachers at different levels in public and private sectors. Their teaching practice was given in face-to-face settings; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these teacher-students were required to migrate their practice to remote teaching. It is in this line of arguments that the researchers, as the participants’ ELT teachers, were interested in knowing if any strategies from the online-learning student role were useful to transition as remote ELT-teachers. As a follow-up method to questionnaires administered to 55 online ELT students, semi-structured interviews were conducted to a total of 11 participants, from the participating universities. Findings indicate that online learning experience does have a positive impact when transitioning from face-to-face instruction to remote teaching. Regardless of the participants’ ICT skills development, there was evidence of soft skills fostering. Moreover, the challenges and limitations they faced inevitably led to a fruitful reengineering process.

Adanya pembangunan bak penampung air yang menampung air tanah, ketersdediaan airnya perlu dimanfaatkan untuk mendukung peningkatan ekonomi masyarakat sekitarnya karena lahan yang ada sangat potensial untuk pertanian. Pemakaian air dalam melakukan irigasi yang kurang efisien tentu tidak diharapkan, karena air yang diangkat ke bak air menggunakan memerlukan biaya berupa pembayaran pulsa listrik sehingga perlu diperhitungkan secara ekonomi. Oleh karena itu agar air bak yang tersedia dapat dimanfaatkan secara efisien maka perlu dilakukan pelatihan membuat jaringan irigasi hemat air  seperti system tetes pada lahan kering sekitar lokasi bak air dengan tananamnya sebagai percontohan. Dengan upaya ini nantinya masyarakat sekitarnya akan dapat meniru dan membuat lahan-lahan pertanian baru, dalam meningkatkan ekonomi keluarganya masing-masing. Mengetahui potensi sumber air yang ada maka tim Unram ikut berpartisipasi memberikan pelatihan pembuatan jaringan irigasi tetes dengan tanaman naga sebagai percontohannya, yang diperkirakan akan memberikan nilai tambah secara ekonomi jangka panjang. Tanaman yang dipilih untuk ditanam adalah naga, karena tanaman ini mempunyai umur hidup cukup lama jika dibandingkan dengan tanaman hortikultura, tetapi secara ekonomi akan sangat membantu petani lahan kering yang ada .

Tujuan pelatihan ini untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat tani sekitar dalam pembuatan irigasi hemat air system tetes dengan pipa pvc dan mempu menggunakannya pada lahan pertanian naga. Pengabdian ini dilakukan oleh Tim  Unram dengan tahapan;  survey awal dan koodinasi, pelatihan pembuatan petak lahan dan jaringan irigasi tetes pvc, pemasangan ajir dari pohon banten sebagai tempat naga. Selama proses pelatihan , dilakukan diskusi dan tanya jawab, sedangkan evaluasi selain dilakukan pada pelaksanaan tetapi juga akan dilakukan diwaktu-waktu yang akan dating untuk memantau perkembangan usahataninya.

Pelatihan ini diikuti secara  sungguh-sungguh  oleh warga masyarakat di lapangan, dan berhasil memesang jaringan irigasi tetes pipa pvc pada 1 petak lahan dengan tanaman naga. Setelah 1 tahun pelaksanaan pengabdian, tanaman naga  telah berbuah dan hasilnya telah dirasakan oleh petani dan sangat membantu ekonomi masyarakat lahan kering setempat. Tim pengabdian sangat bersyukur karena warga telah dapat membangun lahan pertanian percontohan naga dengan irigasi tetes pvc, dan tim pengabdian memberi saran agar pemilik lahan  tetap memelihara tananaman tersebut dan dapat menerima masyarakat yang berkunjung dalam mencontoh system irigasi dan pertanian yang dilakukannya.  Dengan selesainya kegiatan tim pengabdian berterimakasih kepada semua masyarakat yang telah ikut membantu untuk suksesnya pengabdian ini.

Published: December 2022

Currently, there are still many people who are not aware of their disaster-prone areas. This is exacerbated by the lack of maximum community empowerment in disaster prevention and management. This study aims to determine the effect of the implementation of community-based disaster risk reduction (CB DRR) on the knowledge and skills of the community in disaster mitigation. This research is a quasi-experimental study, with a non-randomized control group pre-test - post-test design. The population and sample in this study were all community administrators who were aware of the disaster. The instrument used is a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. Research procedures include administrative procedures and technical procedures. Data processing is done through the process of editing, coding, scoring, processing, and cleaning. Data analysis techniques include univariate analysis, bivariate analysis (paired t-test), and multivariate analysis (General Linear Model Repeated Measure or GLM-RM). The p-value on the knowledge and skills variables were both 0.000 (<0.05). The value of the Greenhouse-Geisser sig analysis on the knowledge and skills variables has the same p-value of 0.000 (<0.05) or there is a difference in the average knowledge and skills of respondents after being given CB DRR training. Conclusion: The CB DRR program training influences the knowledge and skills of the community in carrying out disaster mitigation with a changing trend seen from the first measurement to the last measurement.

A new stroke-prevention service (ERDANELA model) has been developed at nursing homes by empowering elderly caregivers to become service-implementing cadres. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of empowerment on the knowledge, attitude, skill, and behavior of elderly caregivers about stroke-prevention services in nursing homes. A quasi-experimental study was conducted on 52 elderly caregivers who were working at 3 nursing homes in West Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The questionnaire design consists of knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behavior variables. Intervention in the form of training was carried out for three days, using pre-test and post-test methods. The results of this research are the majority of caregivers are 40-49 years old (34.60%), male (51.9%), have middle school education (48.10%), have monthly income bigger than the RMW (75.00%), worked in nursing home>5 years (67.30%), and never attended training while working at nursing-home (73,10%). Caregivers knowledge, attitude, skill, and behavior mean was 18.23±1.89, 7.65±1.22, 6.75±1.37 and 6.00±0,91 respectively before training, and significantly it has increased to 25.48±3.38, 10.15±.09, 9.10±0.96, and 7.06±1.43 respectively after training with sig=0.000<0.05.

Published: December 2022

The study of public perceptions regarding drinking water quality is essential for understanding how people choose and manage safe drinking water for consumption. Understanding public perceptions and the actual drinking water quality can also help to ensure the right policies to improve water quality and minimize possible risks. This study aims to analyze the association between public perceptions and the actual drinking water quality in Bekasi City, Indonesia. This study was conducted in three urban villages (Jatiluhur, Jatirangga, Sumur Batu) in Bekasi City, Indonesia, in the dry season (September-October 2021). The survey was conducted by distributing questionnaires and collecting groundwater samples at point-of-use for drinking (n=51 households). Drinking water samples were analyzed for pH, TDS, Total Coliform, and Escherichia coli. Among 51 households, 100% of respondents answered that the drinking water was safe and had good taste, 5% answered that there was a problem with the appearance (color/particles), and 2% of respondents answered that there was an odor in the drinking water consumed. Logistic regression was performed, and the result shows that measured drinking water quality does not significantly contribute to public perception of drinking water quality

Provision of accommodation for students is one of the primary responsibilities of the managements of Federal Government owned universities in Nigeria. The designs of these students’ halls of residence are institutional in nature, possessing certain common physical design features. The study focuses on 17 halls of residence in 4 federal universities in Southwest, Nigeria. The data collected on the physical design features (hall size, dwelling floor level, corridor length and loading) were analyzed in relation to crime experienced in the halls of residence. The findings suggest that residents in larger hall sizes experienced more crime and a significant relationship established between dwelling floor level and assault/beaten-up [λ² (6, N=618) = 17.46, p= .008] and between corridor loading and burglary/break-in [λ² (2, N=567) = 8.93, p= .012]. Hence architects and other professionals should take a critical look at these physical design features when dealing with crimes in future student housing design.

Private developers in Nigeria’s housing development industry still face challenges of increasing housing stock, with a current housing deficit of 20 million units. Prefabrication, a known, yet unpopular housing construction method, has witnessed low usage. The effect of system characteristics on user acceptance of prefabrication technology is examined through the Perceived Usefulness (PU), of prefabrication system amongst private developers in the Nigerian housing development. The paper draws on the technology acceptance model (TAM) as the basis for investigation. A quantitative research approach and convenient sampling technique to select 400 private developers- members of the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN) in Lagos and Abuja. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive analysis and Freidman’s ANOVA test. Findings showed that prefabrication amongst private developers in Nigeria is perceived as being highly useful for increasing housing stock. PU increases the degree of positivity toward usage, which subsequently triggers the intention to adopt.

Published: December 2022

In this study, thermal performance of different pitched roofs with elevated ceiling configuration is analyzed and compared. Three different ceiling shapes, viz., cathedral, barrel-vault and A-frame, at the same pitch angle and ceiling material, under winter heating are examined numerically by solving the steady-state air and heat flow problems simultaneously. In all the roofs, the airflow fields show counter-rotating recirculating cells. The multicellular flow field promotes uniform temperature distribution within the enclosures. Heat loss to the attic from the space below increases with the closeness of the hot ceiling to the cold inclined walls. In the A-frame roof, there is uniform convective heat transfer. But in the cathedral and barrel-vault roofs, near the bottom corners, conductive heat exchange predominates. In all, the thermal performance of the barrel-vault is least while that of the cathedral is best. This observation is useful on the application of insulation when using such ceiling shapes.
Eye gaze as a resource in handling trouble around mobile devices in EFL classroom interactions
Authors: Vänttinen Minttu
Published: December 2022

This article offers an insight into how interaction is multimodally built during task-accomplishment around mobile devices in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. More specifically, it investigates eye gaze as a resource in recruiting help and pursuing response during interactional or task-related trouble sequences. The data come from videorecorded EFL lessons at Finnish comprehensive schools where mobile devices are used for learning tasks. Through multimodal conversation analysis, the article demonstrates that gaze is employed as one of the first resources to address trouble. Although tasks often require gaze to be directed at devices, it can be flexibly reoriented to peers when needed. The findings therefore highlight the need to study not only the use of technology but also the interaction around it. An emic perspective to applied linguistics is especially called for to understand how participants manage interaction in today’s technology-rich educational contexts.
Social media as the fifth estate
Authors: Ylönen Sabine
Published: December 2022

Social media are also called the fifth estate that form a new control body and may thus fulfil democratic functions. On the other hand, social media have enabled the proliferation of hateful debates in which, with reference to freedom of speech, previously tabooed contents and language are becoming de-tabooed and accepted. As an answer to fake news, direct and indirect hate speech also forms of organised counterspeech have been developing in social media to counter the normalisation of aggressive and hateful speech. To influence the discourse in comment columns of social media in terms of the fifth estate, counterspeech has to be visible also quantitatively. In this contrastive study, I analyse the activities of the German and Finnish Facebook groups of the network #iamhere international. Special focus is on how the groups organise their activities strategically and in how far the conventionalisation of digital genres influences the intensity and continuity of their activities.

German-Finnish business communication has been researched widely, but there is still a demand for approaches that consider the features of social action not only in situ but also in terms of their wider dimensions. Following nexus analysis, this study examines how two key actors in the field of technology make sense of German-Finnish communicative practices among IT professionals. Thematic analysis and situational maps were used in exploring the data. The analysis also encompassed the interaction orders, historical bodies and discourses in place as aspects of social action. The interviewees’ accounts revealed the positioning of participants and key events bringing about change in the work community. The findings suggest that meaningful aspects of German-Finnish business communication as portrayed by the interviewees include opportunities for agency, prioritizing of face-to-face communication, and the structured flow of action in the workplace. The study provides implications for developing German-Finnish communication in professional communities.

This paper discusses studying optional languages at upper secondary school in Finland, and in particular students’ views on dropping the optional language. The number of students choosing an optional language has decreased during the past decades. In earlier studies, teachers have suggested that a heavy workload might be one of the main reasons for this decrease. We interviewed nine students at upper secondary school and here we concentrate on those four who discontinued their optional language studies. The data were analysed via content analysis. The results show that the reasons behind dropping an optional language are manifold, and can be traced to individual values, but also to school structures and to how society seems to value languages. Heavy workload is also reflected in answers in different ways: the participants acknowledged that good language skills take time and effort which they were not always willing to invest in.

This article presents how teachers implement early foreign language (FL) teaching in first and second grades in Finnish primary schools. The purpose of the research was to gather information on how different kinds of learning environments are being used in FL teaching. The participants planned and conducted their own teaching development projects. Their reports of the projects were collected during spring 2020, and they also included information on how the teachers conducted remote teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Altogether 10 reports written by general class teachers and FL teachers were analyzed using qualitative content analysis with a theory-oriented framework. The results show that teachers implement functional language teaching methods in various learning environments. Use of digital learning materials has become more essential during the remote teaching period. The study provides valuable insights into the use of learning environments in early foreign language teaching in Finland.

We studied 1) how pre-service language teachers reacted to the assumption that they should acknowledge sustainable development in language teaching, 2) what considerations they gave to sorting sustainability themes based on their importance, and 3) what themes they considered easy, hard, familiar or unfamiliar to integrate into language teaching and why. We analyzed two questions from a sustainability themed questionnaire considering all dimensions of sustainable development and the group reflections of the pre-service language teachers directly after they had answered the questionnaire. The pre-service language teachers considered sustainable development to be of high importance but were concerned about whether they are qualified to include it in their teaching, and whether they have enough time for it. Based on our results, pre-service language teachers would benefit from schooling in sustainability education, and handling global and local issues separately could help them to better understand sustainability themes.
Dynaaminen käyttöpohjainen lähestymistapa kielenoppimisen tutkimukseen
Authors: Lesonen Sirkku
Published: December 2022

The paper presents a relatively new theoretical framework in the field of applied linguistics, more specifically, in the context of second language acquisition. Dynamic usage-based approach is a combination of complex dynamic systems theory and usage-based approaches, and it sees language development as an individual, dynamic process. In this view, L2 constructions are seen to emerge non-linearly when an L2 learner uses the L2 for the purposes of interaction. This paper focuses on some key aspects of the development of L2 learners’ repertoire, namely individual learning trajectories, non-linear development, variability, and dynamics of L2 constructions.
Mobilizing assistance through complaints in digital skills courses for adults
Authors: Råman Joonas , Oloff Florence
Published: December 2022

Within a rapidly digitalizing society, it is important to understand how the learning and teaching of digital skills play out in situ, especially among the elderly, an often marginalized user group. This paper will focus on elderly participants engaged in the process of learning digital skills in adult education courses. In video recordings from adult education centres in Finland and Germany, we explore how students mobilize their teachers’ assistance upon encountering a problem with their mobile devices (smartphones, laptops or tablets). Prior research on social interaction has shown that assistance can be recruited through a variety of verbal and embodied formats. In this specific educational setting, participants can use complaints about their digital skills or the mobile devices in order to obtain help. Utilizing multimodal conversation analysis, we will explore two basic sequence types involving students’ complaints, discuss their cross-linguistic characteristics, and reflect on their link to this educational setting and digital devices.

This article examines migrants’ agency related to the individualised and flexible practices available in Integration Training in Finland, with a focus on migrants’ Finnish language learning. The research focused on migrants who have not been studied before, namely those entering training after it had already started. The data consist of background information and interviews of 17 migrants who studied in Integration Training in 2018–2020. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis. The results show that the same practice can support the learner agency of some participants but limit the agency of others. The possibility to make choices about one’s own education varies, and choices are often related to beliefs about language proficiency. In the classroom and during work placement periods, some participants reported having had multiple chances to grasp affordances and use Finnish, others only a few. In summary, the individualised practices available in Integration Training appear to impact participants’ language learning variably, and participants’ wishes do not always align with the available practices.

The Declaration on a Nordic Language Policy (2006) announces that all permanent residents in the Nordic countries have the right to learn the majority language and develop as users of one’s mother tongue. It is generally accepted that proficiency in two languages leads to good learning results. This article examines timely basic education policy documents about linguistic support for multilingual first and second generation immigrant students in Finland, Sweden and Norway: what premises do they offer to positive bilingualism and double identity construction? We illustrate school paths for newcomers’ support in the study language (L2), and in the students’ mother tongue. The policy documents are open for discussion in all examined countries. The findings show that no ideal system has yet been established. The Finnish way of organizing L2 instruction reminds both of Swedish and Norwegian structures. Critical views on a systemic level are needed for a better modeling of multilingual school.

This study investigated human raters’ perceptions of automated assessment of oral language skills. The raters (n = 37) participated in three assessment rounds organized by the DigiTala research project using Moodle and Zoom. The raters assessed Finnish and Swedish learners’ speech samples using one holistic and five analytical rating scales created in the project. After the assessment, the raters responded to a questionnaire that included Likert-scale and open-ended questions. Numerical responses were analyzed with descriptive statistics, open responses with content analysis. The raters think that automated scoring could support human rating. The assessment rounds were carried out successfully. The selected dimensions proved to be essential parts of the speaking performances. The results will benefit those working on automated assessment and oral language assessment.

Authors: Živić Even , Stojković Nino , Sladić Saša
Published: December 2022

This paper describes the design and optimization method for a 4th order low-pass filter designed as a cascade of biquarts and approximated by Butterworth. Schoeffler sensitivity, multiparameter sensitivity measurement, and Monte Carlo analysis were used for sensitivity measurement, filter tuning, and optimization confirmation. The constraints on the filter characteristics due to the Butterworth approximation are also presented, together with the constraints on optimization to obtain a narrow range of values for the filter elements. Three different types of optimization parameters were used to confirm the optimization method. Finally, a 4th order low pass filter with a cascade structure of biquarts was compared to a 4th order filter without feedback and confirmed to have lower sensitivity.
Tie-line modelling in interconnected synchrophasor network for monitoring grid observability, cyber intrusion and reliability
Authors: Yadav Atul Kumar , Mahajan Vasundhara
Published: December 2022

The incorporation of a tie-line between two areas may be beneficial in two ways. First, the reserve capacity of the assisting area support to the assisted area, and second, the number of Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) requirements will become smaller for complete observability of the interconnected grid. The objective function is formulated to integrate the observability and reliability analysis for the two interconnected synchrophasor networks. The effect of Zero Injection Bus (ZIB) is included in the observability constraints to reduce the number of PMUs deployed in the system. The number of optimal PMU deployments will be greater for two interconnected systems in comparison with a single area. Therefore, interconnected systems become more vulnerable to cyber risk. The paper discusses the cumulative analysis of system observability and reliability during an anomaly situation that occurs with a PMU device due to a cyber-attack. The reliability indices Interconnected System Load Interruption Probability (ISLIP) and Interconnected System Demand Not Supplied (ISDNS) are evaluated when an anomaly occurs with optimally deployed PMU in the network by including and excluding the effect of ZIB. By doing so, the most reliable location for PMU deployment can be obtained for both the area. Reliability Test System (RTS)-24 bus is used for each area to modify the test system by incorporating tie-lines between them.

Obesity is a problem that concerns the world. The increasing of obese prevalence is relate to the risk of comorbidities that occurs through the insulin resistance mechanism. Moderate intensity physical activity can prevent insulin resistance and increase insulin sensitivity. The method is numerical comparative analytic research with a quasi-experimental design and the method of taking the repetitive measurement data (pre test - post test design) with a control group. Total of the samples are 30 people, divided into positive control groups (K1), negative control group (K2) and the treatment group (P). Analysis using Paired T-Test shows the value of p = 0.087 in group P1, p = 0.058 in group P2 and p = 0,000 in group P. Analysis using One Way Anova shows the value of p= 0.002 between P and K1, p= 0.085 between P and K2, p= 0.474 between K1 and K2. There is a statistically significant effect of moderate-intensity physical activity in the form of 30 minutes of brisk walking on lowering blood glucose levels in obese men.
