Analysis of changes in waste generation and management in Poland against the background of EU waste management objectives
Authors: Dziawgo Ewa
Published: December 2022

One of the environmental problems of the current generation is the increase in volume of waste generated, which has a negative impact on the environment and human health. Therefore, it is important to reduce the amount of waste generated and to manage it rationally. Waste management is one of the areas of environmental protection. The article examines the changes in the amount and structure of waste generated in Poland in the period 2017-2020. An analysis of the size and structure of funding sources of the main forms of waste management was also carried out. The aim of the article was to present, compare and evaluate the changes occurring in waste management and its sources of financing. The research considered the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the volume of waste generated and on waste management. The analysis shows that the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic affected the decrease in the volume of total waste generated and the increase in the volume of municipal waste. There was also some variation in the area of generated waste and its management in individual provinces.

Conceptual Metaphor in Kahitna’s Song Lyrics
Authors: Jannah Raudlotul , Istiqomah Khusnul
Published: December 2022

Every song has lyrics and every lyric undeniably contains one or two messages or ideas that a songwriter wants to express. That being said, songwriters usually use conceptual metaphors to make their songs aesthetically audible and emotionally evoking to the heart of the listeners when they hear the song or when they understand of what was written in the lyrics. Unlike the previous research that merely focused on the types of conceptual metaphors but failed to analyze the image schemas of the metaphors, this research aims at finding and describing how conceptual metaphors as well as the image schemas of the metaphors are used in Kahitna’s song lyrics. The data were analysed on the basis of Conceptual Metaphor Theory from Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) and Kovecses’s (2010) and also Saeed’s Image Schema (2016). The research shows that there are nine conceptual metaphors found in Kahitna’s song lyrics: “Passion of Love is Sea,” “Love Story is Journey,” “Difficulty in Relationship is Journey,” “Goal of the Lovers is Journey,” “Deepest Heart is Sea,” “Heart is Container,” “Love is Container,” “Love is Concrete Object,” and “Longing is Waves.” In addition, Containment schema, Path Schema, and Force Schema are also found in this research.

Authors: Sandra Lifia Alex , Kurniawati Lemmuela Alvita
Published: December 2022

his study aimed to investigate the implementation of Differentiated Instructions (DI) for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) students in an EFL class and investigate the teachers’ views on the use of DI in an EFL class. This study employed a qualitative method and used an observation and interview checklist as the research instruments. Conducted in a private inclusive elementary school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, this study involved three classes, i.e., grade 2, grade 3, and grade 6, and two English teachers who have experience teaching ASD students in an inclusive classroom setting. The observation and interview showed that DI was implemented in two ways, i.e., the English teachers designed different assessments for ASD students, and 2) the English teachers provided extra assistance for ASD students. The findings indicated that DI helped ASD students accomplish all in-class English assignments, and it helped ASD students follow the language of instructions in the English class. At the end of the article, implications and contributions for both in- and pre-service English teachers who teach ASD students in an inclusive class are offered.
The Intergenerational Conflict in Lisa See’s Shanghai Girls: Second Generation Experiences
Authors: Novianti Maria Niayu Risma
Published: December 2022

This study explores the intergeneration conflict and acculturation strategies of the second-generation Chinese American in Lisa See’s Shanghai Girls. The novel depicts Pearl and May’s experiences moving to America due to the Sino-Japanese war in China and facing the cultural conflict of choosing the Chinese or American culture. Therefore, the study uses the sociological approach by employing Hofstede’s cultural dimension and Sam and Berry’s acculturation model to examine the sociocultural experiences of Pearl and May. The result is that the conflict between the first and second generations is based on power distance, masculinity and femininity; individualism and collectivism; and the short and long term. As the result of the conflict, Pearl integrates two cultures on the dimension of power distance and short and long term, while May assimilates more into American culture. Those different strategies also imply the different reception experienced by Pearl and May while socializing within both the Chinese and American cultures.

Published: December 2022

This present study aims to investigate various kinds of representative acts performed in Dalia Mogahed's speech entitled "What It's like to be a Muslim in America?" and to analyze the Islamic values that may be contained in the speech. As a qualitative research, the data of the current study were collected by searching and watching speech videos on Youtube and downloading the videos and the speech transcripts. In investigating the representative acts of Dalia Mogahed, this study applied Searle's (1976) theory of representative speech acts in analyzing the data in the forms of utterances produced by Dalia that were collected from Dalia's speeches.  The data that have been obtained were then classified, analyzed, interpreted, and described. The results show that Dalia's 111 utterances were identified as representative acts, consisting of 54 utterances of stating, 32 utterances of describing, 10 utterances of asserting, 9 utterances of informing, 3 utterances of reporting and 3 utterances of predicting. The representative acts in Dalia's speech are reported to contain some Islamic messages.
Using Films in Second-Language Learning: Perspectives Through the Lens of Transmedia and Cultural Learning
Authors: Lee Yun Joon Jason
Published: December 2022

This study had two objectives: (1) to observe how the participants used a TV series to learn English and (2) to investigate to what extent they changed the way they used the TV series to learn English based on three activities or guidelines that a teacher gave for better learning. They were, first, that the centrality of the meaning (of the lexicon and of the pattern) is core in using TV series for L2 learning; second, how to learn conventional expressions; and third, that in using a language, language knowledge and world knowledge should be combined. For the analysis, the participants’ reports were used. For the first guideline, it was found that the participants primarily paid attention to understanding the utterances in the script. They performed poorly. In the second activity, the participants performed relatively well. In the third activity, when the participants were assisted, they were able to focus on patterns. After the activities, they realized that they could learn the importance of context and culture as well as conventional expressions. A pedagogical implication of these findings is that although TV series are expected to make learning enjoyable, language matters should take precedence.
Design for a Literature and Film Course Using a Mixed (Learner and Teacher-Centered) Approach
Authors: Van Horn Kyle R.
Published: December 2022

This study aims to mitigate the difficulties (e.g., lack of clarity, confusion, and resistance) of implementing a studentcentered learning course in a traditionally teacher-centered context (Kim, 2015) by adding elements of direct instruction to the student-centered curriculum. In this mixed-method (student and teacher-centered) elective course, thirty Korean intermediate university EFL students from multiple disciplines chose the class materials–the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Dahl & Schindelman, 1964) and its two film adaptations (Burton, 2005; Stuart, 1971). The participants then designed and implemented project-based activities as well as the means of assessment while the instructor facilitated the activities and delivered lectures and mini lessons based on students’ needs. To analyze student and teacher perceptions of the mixed-method approach as well as students’ description of their selfefficacy, the researcher applied a qualitative analysis of student and teacher journals as well as post-course interviews. The results showed that the mixed-method approach can lead to several benefits including authentic direct instruction and an improved sense of self-efficacy in teachers and students. One unexpected result was student satisfaction with the low-stakes atmosphere created by background music played during group activities. Some limitations such as teacher workload, assessment accuracy, and small sample size are described.
Integrating Reading Aloud, Writing, and Assessment Through Voice Recording With EFL Learning
Authors: Chong Cinthia M.
Published: December 2022

This study attempts to develop an EFL learning output activity by integrating reading aloud, writing, and assessment through voice recording. 62 college students participated in the activities for 15 weeks. Surveys, self-evaluations, and teacher evaluations were conducted and analyzed using the SPSS t-test to examine the students’ reactions to the activities. The survey results for the psychological questionnaires on confidence, anxiety, and attitude toward English were not statistically significant except with regard to willingness to practice English. The students became familiar with the activities and this might have led them to feel that they could improve their English skills through this repetitive integrated activity. Additionally, while students’ self-evaluation results in the competence for listening, reading, speaking, grammar, and vocabulary were statistically significant (p < .05), the competences for writing and pronunciation were not. Writing fatigue and pronunciation mistakes encountered during the activities might have contributed to students’ negative reactions in the confidence, anxiety, and attitude questionnaires. Nevertheless, it can be surmised that the integrated activities could help activate the English knowledge possessed by students. The methodology can also be recommended for use in EFL classes to make students become active participants and be aware of their English competence.
A Study of Students’ Perceptions Toward the Use of ICT Tools and Collaboration Activities to Increase Interactions During COVID-19
Authors: Irvin Christopher , Park Seong Man
Published: December 2022

This study has been conducted to investigate what students thought about their experiences trying to interact more frequently during the fall semester of 2020. It took place in a general English classroom at a private Korean university during the COVID-19 pandemic and aimed to gain insight into students’ perceptions of whether using a learning management system and other Information and Communication Technology tools, taking part in asynchronous discussion board activities, and completing voluntary activities would increase the number of interactions despite taking an emergency online class. A total of 28 first-year students from 6 different sections of a freshmen-level general English course voluntarily participated by filling out a survey at the end of the semester. For data analysis, descriptive statistics were initially analyzed to provide basic numerical data. Then, qualitative analysis was used to find common themes. Finally, student quotes were used to add greater meaning to the findings. The main finding was that the number of interactions between learners and the content, their instructors, and their peers increased due to the use of the learning management system and Information and Communication Technology tools. More detailed findings and implications for future uses are discussed.
The Point of Vanishing: Pater’s Loss of Perspective
Authors: Siegel Jonah
Published: December 2022

This article addresses the importance of perspective in the work of Walter Pater by putting his treatment of the topic in Plato and Platonism and The Renaissance in relation to its place in art history and to the work of some of Pater’s immediate Victorian predecessors. The classic formulations of Erwin Panofsky prove useful in identifying the gains and losses to the perceiving self entailed in the evocation of perspective in relation to a mutable world.
Poetics of the Steel Plate Engraving: Letitia Landon and Fisher’s Drawing Room Scrap Book
Authors: Armstrong Isobel
Published: December 2022

The central argument of this detailed reading of Landon’s editorship of Fisher’s Drawing Room Scrap Book of 1832 turns on the technology of the (capitalist) steel plate and its composition through the accumulation of lines rather than through mimetic techniques. I suggest that Landon foregoes the mimetic contract in favour of a metonymic contract of juxtaposition deriving from her decision to prioritize the poetic line and the second-order poetics of stereotype and cliché (both terms of print technology). She employs a technique of adjacency and a continual play on the meaning of the line in order to set in motion a questioning of British assumptions about trade hegemony and the colonial imaginary that many of the poems invoke. I suggest that this is a genuinely new and original poetics.

Published: December 2022

The present study investigates pathogenicity of local Aeromonas hydrophila strains by molecular characterisation of two virulence factor genes: aerolysin (aerA) and haemolysin (Ahh1) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Phenotypically identified presumptive Aeromonas isolates recovered from diseased Labeo rohita were genetically analysed using type-specific primers by amplifying 309 bp and 130 bp conserved regions of aerolysin and haemolysin genes respectively. The partial nucleotide sequences of aerA and Ahh1 were determined from representative strains in which aerA was confirmed in 75% isolates, whereas Ahh1 was confirmed in 50% isolates. The nucleotide blast results of the representative strains revealed close homology of 95% (aerolysin) and 97% (haemolysin) with published sequences.

Authors: TÜRKAN Ahmet , CEVAHİR Mehmet Safa
Published: December 2022

Divali, Hindistan’da ve diasporada büyük coşkuyla kutlanılan bir bayramdır. Hinduların yanı sıra, Hindistan'daki Caynist, Sih, Budist, Hıristiyan ve Müslümanlar tarafından bu bayrama önem verilmiş ve her bir dini grup kendi anlayışları ve gelenekleri doğrultusunda benzer veya farklı mitolojik anlatılar ortaya koymuşlardır. Caynistler Mahavira'nın aydınlanması, Sihler Guru Hargobind'in esaretten kurtulması ve Amritsar'a dönmesi, Newar Budistleri ise Kral Aşoka'nın Budizm'i kabul etmesini Divali ile ilişkilendirmişlerdir. Hintli Müslümanlar Divali’yi daha çok kültürel bağlamda değerlendirirken, Hintli Hıristiyanların bir kısmı ise Kutsal Kitaptaki ışık ve karanlık tasvirleriyle Divali arasında analoji kurmuşlardır. Bu çalışmada, öncelikle Hindular nezdinde Divali’nin kökenine ilişkin farklı anlatılar ortaya konulmuş, sonrasında beş günlük kutlama şekilleri ve bunun topluma yansıması ayrıntılı olarak betimlenmiştir. Divali’nin farklı dini gruplar nezdindeki anlam ve önemi karşılaştırmalı olarak ele alınmıştır. Hindistan dışındaki Divali kutlamalarının Hint kökenli kişilere sağlamış olduğu kazanımlar ve gelecekte karşılaşılması muhtemel durumlarla; COVID-19 salgın sürecinde Divali kutlamalarının nasıl gerçekleşmiş olduğuna dair bilgiler güncel veriler ışığında ele alınmıştır.
Critical behavior and stability problem in a scalar field model
Authors: Vladimir Rochev
Published: December 2022

As shown in the works [1-3], the asymptotic behavior of the propagator in the Euclidean region of momenta for the model of a complex scalar field φ and a real scalar field χ with the interaction drastically changes depending on the value of the coupling constant. For small values of the coupling, the propagator of the field φ behaves asymptotically as free, while in the strong-coupling region the propagator in the deep Euclidean region tends to be a constant. In this paper, the influence of the vacuum stability problem of this model on this critical behavior is investigated. It is shown that within the framework of the approximations used, the addition of a stabilizing term of type to the Lagrangian leads to a renormalization of the mass and does not change the main effect of changing the ultraviolet behavior of the propagator.

The continuity of prime numbers can lead to even continuity (Relationship with Gold Bach’s conjecture)
Authors: Xie Ling
Published: December 2022

N continuous prime numbers can combine a group of continuous even numbers. If an adjacent prime number is followed, the even number will continue. For example, if we take the prime number 3, we can get an even number 6. If we follow an adjacent prime number 5, we can get even numbers by using 3 and 5: 6, 8 and 10. If a group of continuous prime numbers 3, 5, 7, 11, ..., P, we can get a group of continuous even numbers 6, 8, 10, 12,..., 2n. Then if an adjacent prime number q is followed, the Original group of even numbers 6, 8, 10, 12,..., 2n will be finitely extended to 2(n + 1) or more adjacent even numbers. My purpose is to prove that the continuity of prime numbers will lead to even continuity as long as 2(n + 1) can be extended. If the continuity of even numbers is Discontinuous, it violates the Bertrand Chebyshev theorem of prime Numbers. Because there are infinitely many prime numbers: 3, 5, 7, 11,... We can get infinitely many continuous even numbers: 6, 8, 10, 12,... Get: Gold Bach conjecture holds. 2020 Mathématiques Subjectif Classification: 11P32, 11U05, 11N05, 11P70. Research ideas: If the prime number is continuous and any pairwise addition can obtain even number continuity, then Gold Bach’s conjecture is true. Human even number experiments all get (prime number + prime number). I propose a new topic: the continuity of prime numbers can lead to even continuity. I designed a continuous combination of prime numbers and got even continuity. If the prime numbers are combined continuously and the even numbers are forced to be discontinuous, a breakpoint occurs. It violates Bertrand Chebyshev's theorem. It is proved that prime numbers are continuous and even numbers are continuous. The logic is: if Gold Bach's conjecture holds, it must be that the continuity of prime numbers can lead to the continuity of even numbers. Image interpretation: turn Gold Bach’s conjecture into a ball, and I kick the ball into Gold Bach’s conjecture channel. There are several paths in this channel and the ball is not allowed to meet Gold Bach’s conjecture conclusion in each path. This makes the ball crazy, and the crazy ball must violate Bertrand Chebyshev's theorem.

Este artículo propone analizar el nuevo plan de acción español de lucha contra la trata, a la luz del plan francés equivalente, haciendo hincapié tanto en su contenido como en la metodología utilizada. La comparación de los dos planes resalta su carácter político, su falta de rigor científico, una evolución de las prioridades en comparación con la estrategia global de lucha contra la trata, y una extensión moderada a un enfoque integral. En los dos planes, se encuentran prioridades similares, como la implementación de un Mecanismo Nacional de Derivación. Sin embargo, las medidas más innovadoras se ven limitadas por la capacidad de implementación. Por el contrario, se multiplican los recordatorios, se propone redactar más textos, y se insiste, como medida de primer rango, en la sensibilización.

O direito à saúde no Brasil: entre a judicialização e a desjudicialização
Authors: Figueiredo Iara Veloso Oliveira , Do Rosário Costa Nilson
Published: December 2022

Objective: to show the configurations of the judicialization of health and to reflect on the dead ends and possibilities of this unique experience in Brazil. Methods: a literature search was conducted in 113 texts found in scientific literature databases that support a theory proposal that stratifies the judicialization of health in Brazil into four aspects: positive judicialization, negative judicialization, technical advice and de-judicialization. Results and discussion: positive judicialization used lawsuits to force the Judiciary to take action to improve public policies; negative judicialization represented the lack of institutional dialog between state powers; technical advice was important to further develop partnerships, especially between the Executive and Judiciary, so that preventive arrangements are sought for greater balance throughout the system; de-judicialization, on the other hand, showed that non-judicial remedies are also legitimate to solve health problems, which can drive the incorporation of new techniques into the Judiciary and partnerships with other institutions. Conclusion: study concluded that over the years there have been various institutional arrangements to better deal with the issues related to the impact of judicialization of health in Brazil, and that there have been embryonic approaches to consolidating the de-judicialization of health that have been identified as a good option for dealing with lawsuits.

In recent years, environmental problems have become more prominent in the construction industry. The production and use of building materials are still one of the main reasons for various ecological and environmental challenges in the industry. Compared with traditional building materials, green building materials are environmentally friendly. Therefore, the adoption of green building materials in the construction industry can generally solve the industry’s ecological and environmental problems and promote green and low-carbon development. Research on contractors’ green procurement behaviour can promote the construction industry’s sustainable development. Many scholars discuss and agree that the implementation of e-procurement is a green approach towards sustainable construction. However, current evidence indicates that procurement stakeholders, especially contractors, are struggling to implement e-procurement effectively. Therefore, there is a need to study contractors’ behaviour in relation to green e-procurement. In response, this study investigates the adoption of e-procurement by Malaysian contractors by adopting planned behaviour theories and diffusion of innovations in their decision-making process. Here, a conceptual framework has been developed which focuses on factors influencing contractors’ adoptions. The framework can be used for understanding the contractors’ adoption decision of e-procurement. The result will help to find the critical key factors affecting green procurement behaviour from contractors’ perspectives and extend the theories further. This framework is also in tandem with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), Construction 4.0 Strategic Plan (2021-2025) in identifying critical factors that affect the adoption of green procurement on construction projects.

Machining process in Manufacturing system is the removal of material to produce a desired shape, size and, or weight of a particular part. This involves the use of cutting, grinding and boring tools as the case maybe, the process itself is not free from challenges that includes reduction in tool life which are usually affected and also the effect of friction which affects machine parts. Therefore, an engineering practice in manufacturing system is required to eliminate or bring to bare minimum the challenges in this machining processes, hence the cutting fluid technology is researched to be a solution solving process. Cutting fluids are widely used and has been majorly seen as a necessary additive to enhance output and increased quality machining operations. The effect of friction leads to sudden rise in cutting temperature and tool wear during machining which impair the quality of the final product. The highly recognized cooling techniques utilized between the several cooling techniques used in metalworking are nanofluids, cryogenic systems, and cooled trodden air. The utilization of cutting fluids cannot be overlooked during machining process as it forms strong defensive films in the contact territories at low speed, making the grip frailer and averting the creation of stores, hence, lowering friction between two mating parts. The resultant effect of good cutting fluid during machining operation enhanced good surface roughness and better service life of the device and suitable finished surface of workpiece that are subjected to machining operations.

Particularly, concrete material involvements creep under a continuous load and practices shrinkage due to variations in humidity proportion. These physical properties variations growth over time. Prestressed losses according to concrete creep and shrinkage will lead to loss of compression strength for concrete. Time-dependent analysis is important and essential for two types of prestressed concrete which are pretensioned and posttensioned with the effect of time, variations in the structural pattern, and high erection loads influence the structural performance and protection of structure for the duration of erection and when complete. Creep and shrinkage are the main time-dependent parameters of concrete. They are important parameters in the design of prestressed concrete structures such as bridges. The objective of this study is to review the analysis models of time-dependent parameters for prestressed concrete bridges by using shrinkage and creep factors equations to determine the strain of time-dependent parameters. Creep and shrinkage parameters were selected to review the effect of these parameters on the properties of prestressed concrete. Nine analysis methods for creep and shrinkage of concrete were reviewed in this study. These models include ACI-209 model, PCI-BDM model, CEB-FIP-90 model, AASHTO-LRDF model, Shams and Kahan model, NCHRP-496 model, B3 model, GL2000 model, and AFREM model. It was recommended that using this methodology to determine shrinkage and creep factors for prestresssed concrete bridge and comparing between the results of analysis models.

Published: December 2022

Due to rapid development and urbanisation, the traffic systems in Perak are developing and continuously growing in numbers. Evaluation of junction concerning capacity and safety is very important since it is directly related to delay, level of service, accident, operation cost and environmental issues. Traffic congestion happens due to delay and reduction of average speed during AM Peak hours at two roundabouts. This study aims to improve the traffic flow by determining the LOS at two different roundabouts. A traffic study was conducted at “Bulatan Bahagia” and “Bulatan Sultan Iskandar” in Ipoh. Sidra 5.0 application was used as an alternative to Highway Capacity Manual to analyze the junction and LOS performances. This analysis was carried out using SIDRA Software 5.0 to determine the LOS at “Bulatan Bahagia” and “Bulatan Sultan Iskandar” in Ipoh. This study provides recommendations to improve the roundabout performance. The result shows the improvement in the level of service from LOS F to LOS B and from LOS F to LOS D. The percentages of reduction for delay were 2 % and 5% respectively. The finding shows that speed on road has a direct correlation with traffic congestion. The speed improves up to 57 % and 20 %. The analysis indicates that Sidra application utilisation gives the best alternative design for intersections and improve the LOS due to sustainable traffic demand on both upstream and downstream roundabouts.
