Evidence From Public Universities in Sri Lanka About Organizational Culture and Employee Engagement
Authors: Iddagoda Anuradha , Volkova Natalia , Bagieńska Anna
Published: August 2022

Employee engagement has become a buzz word in the management circles. The reason is the outcomes of employee engagement such as employee job performance and organizational financial performance. Universities have a fundamental segment in the society because they shape the students with education. This study unearths an empirical as well as a population gap that there is no empirical evidence between the relationship between organizational culture and employee engagement in the public universities in the Sri Lankan context. Identified research gap was bridged with a quantitative study, and the unit of analysis is individual (i.e., lecturers in the Sri Lankan public universities). The type of investigation is correlational. This cross-sectional study was done with minimum researcher interference in a non-contrived study setting.
Transition secondaire-supérieur: Ce que nous apprend la recherche en didactique des mathématiques
Authors: Gueudet Ghislaine , Vandebrouck Fabrice
Published: August 2022

This article presents a synthesis of international research in mathematics education about the secondarytertiary transition, with a specific interest in the most recent works. These studies may concern students' difficulties, and investigate different factors causing these difficulties: notions become more abstract, expected practices refer to those of mathematicians, the institutional culture changes. Some studies analyze more broadly the practices of teachers and students at the end of high school or at the beginning of post-secondary level. Research in mathematics education provides keys to understanding current practices and their consequences, whether in ordinary courses or in teaching device specially designed to improve the transition from secondary to tertiary education. In some cases, it also proposes innovative courses fostering active student involvement, and highlights the benefits of these courses. The development of initial and in-service training for university teachers could help extend such teaching beyond experimental contexts.

Cet article présente une synthèse de travaux de recherche internationaux en didactique des mathématiques à propos de la transition secondaire-supérieur, avec un intérêt spécifique porté aux travaux les plus récents. Ces travaux peuvent concerner les difficultés des étudiants, et en donner diverses interprétations : les notions deviennent plus abstraites, les pratiques attendues se réfèrent à celles des mathématiciens, la culture institutionnelle change. Certaines études analysent plus largement les pratiques des enseignants et des élèves en fin de lycée ou étudiants au début du supérieur. La recherche en didactique des mathématiques donne des clefs pour comprendre l’existant, qu’il s’agisse de cours ordinaires ou de dispositifs spécialement conçus pour accompagner la transition secondaire-supérieur. Elle propose aussi dans certains cas des enseignements innovants qui permettent une implication active des étudiants, et met en évidence les apports de ces dispositifs. Le développement de la formation initiale et continue des enseignants de l’université pourrait contribuer à étendre de tels enseignements au-delà de contextes expérimentaux.
Mean field system of a two-layers neural model in a diffusive regime
Authors: Erny Xavier
Published: August 2022

We study a model of interacting neurons. The structure of this neural system
is composed of two layers of neurons such that the neurons of the first layer
send their spikes to the neurons of the second one: if $N$ is the number of
neurons of the first layer, at each spiking time of the first layer, every
neuron of both layers receives an amount of potential of the form $U/\sqrt{N},$
where $U$ is a centered random variable. This kind of structure of neurons can
model a part of the structure of the visual cortex: the first layer represents
the primary visual cortex V1 and the second one the visual area V2. The model
consists of two stochastic processes, one modelling the membrane potential of
the neurons of the first layer, and the other the membrane potential of the
neurons of the second one. We prove the convergence of these processes as the
number of neurons~$N$ goes to infinity and obtain a convergence speed. The
proofs rely on similar arguments as those used in [Erny, L\"ocherbach,
Loukianova (2022)]: the convergence speed of the semigroups of the processes is
obtained from the convergence speed of their infinitesimal generators using a
Trotter-Kato formula, and from the regularity of the limit semigroup.
Merging the Child in Nature: Towards the Greening and Afforestation Project in Light of the Initiatives of Egypt and Saudi Arabia
Authors: Mohamed Dalia Abdelwahed , AL Jadidi Nadia Ahmed A , AlZmammi Reem Merdas , Kandeel Mohamed Metwally
Published: August 2022

Awareness and appreciation of nature and environmental sustainability have become global issues. Egypt and Saudi Arabia have contributed to several serious initiatives to participate in the development of feasible solutions to these vital issues. The current research attempted to study the dimensions developed by those initiatives. The research adopted the dimension of education in early childhood and educating children about the issues of nature and the environment by monitoring the practices that take place in four programs implemented in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The research aims to determine how the relationship between children and nature is rooted, and the consequent appreciation of nature and environmental awareness. The qualitative approach was adopted for the continuous interpretation of the practices of participants in the specific programs. The results found that educational programs that seek to merge nature and the environment in the education of children led to increased knowledge of environmental issues, improved environmental ethics and increased desire to discover, learn, protect and preserve nature. In other words, learning about the environment and nature may have a significant positive impact on the behavior of children’s connection to nature and the environment. Nature offers real opportunities for children to grow and learn. In light of the current results, the research recommended the necessity of integrating the traditional approach of the early learning stage with a curriculum on the appreciation of nature and environmental awareness. Also, there is a need to train teachers to work in nature with children and educate the community, especially parents, about the importance of learning in nature for their children.
Classified Transformation from Proletariat to Precariat
Authors: Kınsün Salih , Kınsün Abdulbaki
Published: August 2022

One of the strictest realities of social life is class structure. Therefore, Karl Marx based his analysis of social structure on the labour form of the class that constantly produces itself and its opponent. He speaks of a class structure based on material labour determined by means of production and production relations. This class is known as the proletariat. However, in this cycle, which progresses continuously on the axis of change and transformation, the class has become flexible and labour has moved away from its material state.  In Marx's words, the solid has evaporated. In other words, the new social class that has adapted to the flexible life and labour process and was stuck between the continuous work and life changes is the precariat. The basis of the precariat class is not only the proletarian workers and their labour, but also their identity, colour, religious affiliations. Those who are outside the wall of equality aim to achieve the digital era and somehow their whole life has been cognitive, and they are living new fluid human's states resulting in alienation from their labour. In this study, the class transformation will be emphasized that Marx went through while evolving into precariat in the informatics society of the proletariat, which he put forward for the industrial society. The class transformation in question will be discussed in the context of Hard and Negri's class components and Guy Standing's precariat concept. This study will include the fluid course of class transformation. In addition to these, this study is important as it aims to analyze the contexts of human life, post-human and trans-human processes by including digitalization.

Published: August 2022

Teaching English as a foreign language is an apparently challenging task, especially when it is done in an area where English learn a very slight purpose. This study sought to investigate the challenges of English teaching as well as solutions adopted by English teachers in the Savar area. Moreover, the main objective of this research is to find ou.t what kinds of challenges the teacher community faces in the context of the English teaching infrastructure and how to get rid of those problems. Qualitative methods in a phenomenological approach have been used in the research through which in-depth research has been conducted and data collected through semi-structured interviews using purposive sampling. This study captured the perspective of English teachers in facing the challenges of English teaching in the classroom and the solutions they implemented to solve them through interviews. Participants in the study intended to improve the institution's EMI environment and foster nice interactions between teachers and students. 'Teaching techniques among content teachers,' 'challenges and constraints that content teachers encounter,' and 'Training courses for content teachers' are the primary themes that emerged from the study. To be sustainable, EMI activities incorporate teachers' self-development and institutional support, as well as students' self- and perceived peer learning practices. Students' and teachers' adaptive tactics provide information into how other EMI programs might optimize their deployment.
Negative Life Experiences, Substance Use, Well-Being, and Resilience: A Comparison of Deaf and Hearing Adults
Authors: Crowe Teresa
Published: August 2022

Individuals who are deaf and use American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary mode of communication experience unique negative life experiences, such as lack of communication, limited access to services, marginalization, and discrimination, that can adversely impact resilience and psychological well-being. In addition, deaf individuals experience higher rates of intimate partner violence, poly-victimization, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, and unemployment. These negative life experiences can sometimes be accompanied by maladaptive behaviors, such as substance use. Resilience and a positive sense of well-being can help to mitigate adverse life events. This survey research utilizes a sample of 206 deaf participants, whose primary language is ASL, and hearing participants to examine the relationships between negative life experiences, substance use, resilience, and well-being. Findings indicate: 1) deaf participants reported experiencing several negative life events significantly more often than their hearing counterparts, specifically being sent to jail or prison, having a serious physical illness, and sexual abuse by a partner than hearing participants; 2) deaf participants reported more experiences of having an abortion or miscarriage and parental separation or divorce as children than their hearing counterparts; 3) deaf individuals reported higher marijuana use than their hearing counterparts, but less use of stimulants, inhalants, and prescription drug abuse; 4) experiences of mental illness was significantly associated with resilience and well-being; and 5) deaf and hearing participants had similar scores in resilience and well-being. The author identifies strengths and limitations of the study and discusses implications for future research.

Authors: Ceran Selma
Published: August 2022

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between secondary school students' visual creativity in art and their attitudes towards graphic design. The relational research model, one of the quantitative research designs, was used in the study. Two different data collection tools were used to obtain data. In the study, "visual creativity scale in art" and "attitude scale towards graphic design" were used to examine the relationship between the two variables. The study group consists of 248 students studying Visual Arts in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades. The data obtained in the study are presented in line with the research problem. When the findings were examined, it was seen that secondary school students' visual creativity in art and their attitudes towards graphic design were at a moderate level. While the participants' visual creativity in art and their attitudes towards graphic design did not differ according to gender and school type, significant differences were found according to grade level. On the other hand, it was determined that there was a positive, high-level relationship between the visual creativity of secondary school students in art and their attitudes towards graphic design, and this relationship was at a significant level. In order to determine the predictive level of this relationship, a regression analysis was performed by assigning visual creativity in art as an independent variable and attitudes towards graphic design as the dependent variable. As a result, it was found that the level of visual creativity in art significantly predicted attitudes towards graphic design.

Published: August 2022

Learning Management Systems (LMS) are software applications that facilitate the management and monitoring of online teaching courses and/or training programs, workshops, webinars, forums, and other similar learning activities. The LMS provides learning and teaching benefits and possibilities for synchronous, asynchronous, and hybrid training. For instance, learning management systems (LMS) can store a wide variety of large-scale educational data. The stored data can be analyzed by employing educational data mining methods. Educational data mining (EDM) is a new discipline that deals with methods for exploring the unique and large-scale data generated by digital platforms to better understand students’ learning progress and the learning environment itself. In this study, the data stored in the LMS used by Balıkesir University during the fall semester of the 2021–2022 academic year were analyzed by using educational data mining methods in order to reveal the current status of distance education activities and make suggestions to improve the quality.

Published: August 2022

OBJETIVO: describir la asociación entre el hígado graso no alcohólico y el síndrome metabólico. METODOLOGÍA: se realizó una revisión precisa y coherente de bibliografías sustentadas en fuentes primarias y secundarias que incluyeron información actualizada. RESULTADOS: el hígado graso no alcohólico está asociado al síndrome metabólico, a través de su detonante principal que es la obesidad. Por lo tanto, los factores de riesgo para el desarrollo del hígado graso no alcohólico son resistencia a la insulina, dislipidemias e hipertensión arterial, correlacionándose con el grado de infiltración grasa. La fisiopatología de la hepatopatía está vinculada con la patogénesis del síndrome metabólico, teniendo efecto sinérgico entre mediadores proinflamatorios que son secretado por adipoquinas como lo son interleucina-6 y factor de necrosis tumoral alfa. Estas citoquinas provocan alteraciones en el hepatocito, incrementando el proceso de infiltración grasa y grado de fibrosis, permitiendo la aparición de esta entidad. Las complicaciones de desarrollar esta hepatopatía son ateroesclerosis, eventos cerebrovasculares, esteatohepatitis no alcohólico, cirrosis hepática y hepatocarcinoma. CONCLUSIÓN: la hepatopatía no alcohólica a medida que progresa en sus diferentes etapas permite el aumento de la mortalidad en pacientes con síndrome metabólico.
LONG-TERM HYDROLOGICAL DROUGHT ANALYSIS IN AGRICULTURAL IRRIGATION AREA: THE CASE OF DÖRTYOL-ERZIN PLAIN, TURKEY
Authors: Turhan Evren , Değerli Serin , Çatal Eda Nur
Published: August 2022

In recent years, with the effect of the climate change, drought is accepted as one of the most important natural disasters. In the planning, development and management processes of water resources, studies on the analysis of past droughts and the decreasing of possible negative effects in the future, have become even more substantial. The best adaptation to drought risk can only be achieved by adopting holistic approaches. In this study, Dörtyol-Erzin Plain, which is located in the south of Turkey and covers the fertile agricultural lands of the Asi River Basin with a drainage area of approximately 7800 km2, was preferred as the case study for hydrological drought analysis. In the literature, it is stated that there is a slow drought progress for the Asi River Basin. It is highlighted that decreasing trend in groundwater and increasing trend in evaporation and temperature parameters are remarked. Since the agricultural irrigation of Dörtyol-Erzin Plain is dependent on groundwater and surface resources, hydrological drought analysis over the long period will be beneficial for the future studies. Accordingly, Streamflow Drought Index (SDI) method was used for the hydrological drought analysis by using 35 years of flow data between the years of 1986-2020. The open source “SPI_SL_6.exe” program via National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) was operated in the calculations. Drought results were analyzed at different time scales of 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 months, afterwards relevant graphs and tables were created. Consequently, the longest dry period has been determined between 2008 and 2012 water years, while the wet period has been evaluated between 2003 and 2007 ones. Furthermore, it is concluded that SDI values decreased as the monthly time periods increased, while the maximum indice values were obtained with SDI-3 in all drought periods. When all graphs are examined detailed, it can be expressed long-term droughts for certain water years are notable.

Authors: Minu Krishnan  , Kiran Sarma
Published: August 2022

Taila Kalpana- A liquid dosage form of Ayurveda used for both external and internal application, has an important role in clinical practice. Asanavilwadi taila is a preparation mentioned in Sahasrayogam taila prakaranam and in Chikitsa manjari Siro roga chikitsa. It is used in the treatment of diseases of eye, ear and head and found to be very effective. Based on the data collected about the production of Asanavilwadi tailam from various manufacturing companies, it was noted that large amount of Asanavilwadi tila tailam and Asanavilwadi kera tailam are produced. In the present scenario there is increase in the number of manufacturing companies, increased production of formulations and there is decreased availability of raw drugs. So, it is necessary to confirm the genuinity of formulations available in the market. But Asanavilwadi tailam has not been standardized yet in API. This work was initiated to develop a standard analytical parameter for Asanavilwadi tila tailam and Asanavilwadi kera tailam. Asanavilwadi taila is prepared both in the media of Tila taila and Kera tailam as both samples are used for clinical practice and physico-chemical analyses were done. Standard analytical protocol proposed by Pharmacopoeial Laboratory of Indian Medicine (PLIM) and Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India were taken as the study tool.
