Assertive Skills and Academic Performance in Primary and Secondary Education, Giftedness, and Conflictive Students
Authors: Marugán de Miguelsanz Montserrat , Carbonero Martín Miguel Angel , Palazuelo Martínez Mª Marcela
Published: November 2021

Introduction. This study explores the level of assertiveness in various samples of students from Primary and Secondary Education. With the data obtained, on the one hand, we analyzed the relation between assertiveness and academic performance and, on the other, we verified whether students who are excluded from the norm, either because of their intellectual giftedness or because they display disruptive behavior in the classroom, obtain different scores in assertiveness. The study analyzes the relation between the excess or deficit of assertive skills and academic performance and, in turn, seeks to verify whether more rebellious students, from an academic viewpoint, or students who are intellectually gifted score differentially from the rest of the students of their level of assertion.Method. A sample of Primary and Secondary Education students from Spanish public centers, whose academic performance was normally distributed, was used. Students from Primary Education, selected for their high intellectual giftedness and good academic performance, who participated in a cognitive-affective development program, and a group of students from Secondary Education, integrated in Compensatory Education units, who were highly conflictive and who achieved very poor academic results, were analyzed. Self-rated assertiveness questionnaires were administered for comparison with the mean school grades and the number of subjects flunked.Results. A statistically significant negative correlation was obtained between the variables assertiveness and academic performance in the diverse samples analyzed. The data support the hypotheses pro-posed in the study. Significant negative correlations were obtained between performance in Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Mathematics, Technology and the variable assertiveness; the correlation was lower when Language was also taken into account, and nonexistent when correlated with English.Discussion. From this study, it is concluded that, although an assertive deficit can act like a variable that predisposes towards academic failure, as it hinders students' interactions with teachers and class-mates, a deficient assertive or passive dependent pattern can also generate behaviors that lead to very satisfactory academic results. However, the excess of this social skill or students’ erroneous self-perception can originate a form of academic failure.
The Application of Multidimensional Rasch Models in Large Scale Assessment and Validation: An Empirical Example
Authors: Baghaei Purya
Published: November 2021

Introduction. Accountability and diagnostic assessments usually comprise several subtests to provide information on the different components of the abilities tested. For practicality reasons such subtests are usually short. The major drawback of short subtests is their low reliability and imprecision. This study shows how a compensatory multidimensional Rasch model, namely, Multidimensional Random Coefficient Multinomial Logit Model (MRCMLM), can utilize the correlations among subtests to improve estimation and the reliability of measures.Method. The sample was composed of 1021 Iranian high school students. An English language comprehension test composed of four 10-item subtests was adminstretd to the participants. The data were analysed with both MRCMLM and unidimensional Rasch model.Results. Findings showed that subtests that contain only ten items can have the reliability of 45-item tests when students’ abilities are estimated with the MRCMLM. It is also demonstrated that multidimensional analysis gives a better estimate of the true correlations among subtests and can be used as a confirmatory approach to study the componential structure of proficiency constructs.Conclusions. Multidimensional Rasch model can improve the reliability of short subtests. The model can also be used as a confirmatory approach to study the componential structure of proficiency constructs and to show the true association among dimensions of profificency.

Introducción. Las últimas investigaciones sobre metacognición en universitarios ponen de manifiesto su relación funcional con el aprendizaje eficaz. El uso de las estrategias metacognitivas está directa-mente relacionado con las competencias de “aprender a aprender” (contenidos procedimentales) algo muy relevante para la Educación Superior. Por ello los objetivos de este estudio son: identificar las estrategias metacognitivas utilizadas por los estudiantes universitarios; analizar si existen diferencias en su uso entre los alumnos de carreras técnicas y los de humanidades y entre los estudiantes de los primeros cursos y los de los últimos.Método. Se ha trabajado con una muestra de 175 estudiantes, 116 pertenecientes a carreras técnicas (Ingeniería de Obras Públicas e Ingeniería Industrial) y 59 matriculados en carreras de humanidades (Terapia Ocupacional y Maestro de Educación Especial) de primero y tercer cursos. Para analizar las estrategias metacognitivas y de apoyo al procesamiento se utilizó ACRA-Escala de estrategias de aprendizaje. El diseño empleado fue descriptivo-transversal. Las variables independientes asignadas fueron: titulación (humanidades vs. carreras técnicas) y curso académico (primero vs. tercero). Para analizar los datos se empleó un ANOVA de efectos fijos (titulación y curso académico) del paquete estadístico SPSS v.18.Resultados. Los resultados indican que los alumnos de humanidades tienen más desarrolladas las estrategias de autoconocimiento, planificación y contradistractoras que los alumnos de ingenierías. Sí bien éstos últimos usan más las estrategias de motivación intrínseca y extrínseca. Además se han detectado diferencias entre los estudiantes de titulaciones técnicas. Los alumnos de tercer curso utilizan más estrategias de motivación de escape.Conclusión. El análisis de las estrategias metacognitivas y de apoyo al procesamiento es esencial para la planificación de una instrucción eficaz en entornos universitarios ya que posibilita la adquisición de competencias conceptuales y procedimentales fundamentales para el desarrollo eficaz en entornos de trabajo.

Published: November 2021

Scientific literature suggests the contribution to family reconciliation as a motivation for leisure shared by grandparents and grandchildren. However, there are some discrepant results. The study aimed to examine the need for family reconciliation as a practical motivation for grandparents’ and grandchildren’s shared leisure, and its linkage with its frequency, the geographical residential area, and the cohabitation of both generations in the same home. A questionnaire was administered to 357 grandparents of children aged 6 to 12 years residing in northern Spain, and a descriptive study and inferential analysis of the data were performed. The results placed the need for family reconciliation in an intermediate position, below the motivations of entertainment and emotional motivations, but above those related to co-learning and the absence of other people to perform such activities. The need for family reconciliation is associated with the frequency of shared practice, but not with the geographical residential area or the fact that both generations cohabitate at the same address. The possible exceptionality of the current situation, within the framework of COVID-19, which may have produced significant alterations in the grandparent-grandchildren relationship, is discussed, with the consequent need to continue this line of inquiry.

Published: November 2021

Smart city merupakan suatu konsep tata kelola yang disusun secara cerdas agar mampu menyelesaikan setiap permasalahan yang ada di masyarakat. Beberapa literatur menyebut bahwa pembangunan smart city tidak dapat dilepaskan dari infrastruktur TIK serta ketersediaan data. Ketersedian data ini menjadi salah satu indikator awal yang penting untuk menentukan langkah menuju smart city. Kabupaten Tegal yang masih berada pada tahap “proses memulai” menuju smart city perlu melakukan pengukuran ketersediaan data indikator smart city agar perencanaan program untuk menuju smart city dapat dilakukan secara komprehensif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai ketersediaan data indikator smart city serta relevansinya dengan kebijakan terkait di Kabupaten Tegal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan teknik purposive sampling dalam pengambilan sampelnya. Pemilihan responden berdasarkan pada kesesuaian antara latar belakang tugas pokok dan fungsi OPD dengan perannya dalam memperkuat dimensi smart city. Pengukuran indikator smart city merujuk pada Model Smart Sustainable City. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketersedian data di Kabupaten Tegal masih tergolong rendah. Data terkait kesehatan untuk mendukung Dimensi Living sudah cukup tersedia, begitu pula data terkait mitigasi bencana. Namun, data pendukung pada dimensi lain seperti pada dimensi Smart Economy serta dimensi Smart Governance masih rendah. AbstractSmart city is a governance concept that is arranged intelligently to be able to solve every problem in society. Some literature states that the development of smart cities cannot be separated from ICT infrastructure and data availability. The availability of this data becomes one of the important early indicators to determine the steps towards smart city. Tegal Regency which is still in the "starting process" towards smart city needs to measure the availability of smart city indicator data so that program planning to reach smart city can be carried out comprehensively. The purpose of this study is to assess the availability of smart city indicator data and its relevance to related policies in Tegal Regency. This research uses quantitative methods with purposive sampling technique in taking the sample. The selection of respondents is based on the suitability between the background of the main tasks and functions of the OPD with its role in strengthening the dimensions of the smart city Measurement of smart city indicators refers to the Smart Sustainable City Model. The results showed that the availability of data in Tegal Regency was still relatively low. Health related data to support the Living Dimension is sufficiently available, as are data related to disaster mitigation. However, supporting data on other dimensions such as the Smart Economy dimension and the Smart Governance dimension are still low.

Published: November 2021

Peramalan pencemaran udara yang  akurat  diperlukan untuk mengurangi dampak pencemaran udara. Peramalan yang belum akurat akan berdampak kurang efektifnya tindakan yang dilakukan untuk mengantisipasi dampak pencemaran udara. Sehingga diperlukan sebuah pendekatan yang dapat mengetahui keakuratan plot data hasil peramalan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan melakukan peramalan pencemaran udara berdasarkan parameter PM10, NO2, CO, SO2, dan O3dengan metode DSARIMA. Data dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 8.760 data yang berasal dari Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kota Surabaya. Berdasarkan hasil peramalan selama 168 jam kadar parameter PM10, NO2, SO2 dan O3 cenderung  menurun. Hasil peramalan selama 168 jam dengan menggunakan DSARIMA memberikan hasil peramalan yang nilainya mendekati data aktual terbukti dari polanya yang sesuai atau mirip dengan grafik plot data aktual dengan hasil ramalan. Dengan pendekatan PEB, selisih antara data aktual dan data ramalan kecil dan plot grafik PEB mengikuti plot grafik di data aktual, sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa model sudah sesuai. Hasil akurasi terbaik yang dihasilkan adalah model DSARIMA dengan RMSE terkecil 0,59 didapatkan dari parameter CO yaitu ARIMA(0,1,[1,2,3])(0,1,1)24(0,1,1)168.

 

Abstract

Accurate air pollution forecasting is needed to reduce the impact of air pollution. Inaccurate forecasting will result in less effective actions taken to anticipate the impact of air pollution. So we need an approach that can determine the accuracy of the forecast data plot. This research was conducted with the aim of forecasting air pollution based on the PM10, NO2, CO, SO2, and O3 parameters using the DSARIMA method. The data in this study were 8.760 data from the Surabaya City Environmental Service. Based on the results of forecasting for 168 hours, the levels of PM10, NO2, SO2, and O3 parameters tend to decrease. Forecasting results for 168 hours using DSARIMA provide forecasting results whose values are close to the actual data as evidenced by the pattern that matches or is similar to the actual data plot graph with the forecast results. With the PEB approach, the difference between the actual data and the forecast data is small and the PEB graph plot follows the graph plot in the actual data, so it can be said that the model is appropriate. The best accuracy result is DSARIMA with the smallest RMSE 0,59 obtained from the CO parameter, namely ARIMA(0,1,[1,2,3])(0,1,1)24(0,1,1)168.

Abstract

Previous studies have documented failures in various information and communication technology for development (ICT4D) projects. One of the main challenges in ICT4D project is gaining the trust of the community and ensuring its sustainability. This paper presents stories from ICT4D project implementation through the lens of Actor Network Theory (ANT). The case is a village called "Kampung Cyber" in Yogyakarta. This study employs a qualitative approach using data gathered from interviews with the main actors and observations in Kampung Cyber. Details from the findings may be adapted as a reference to ICT4D project implementation in similar context. The finding unveil that the theory is very useful to explain the implementation process along with involved actors. The study also finds that the role of the leading actor (i.e. the head of neighborhood unit)) diminishes over time and the dominant role is taken over by the community.

Authors: Amiruddin Amiruddin , Rohmani Muhammad Faqih
Published: November 2021

Spesifikasi keamanan sangat penting bagi pengembangan aplikasi chatting karena dapat menentukan tingkat keamanan aplikasi yang tentunya akan berdampak pada kepercayaan pengguna. Namun, pengembangan fitur keamanan pada aplikasi yang beredar belum semua didasarkan pada suatu spesifikasi kebutuhan keamanan yang jelas. Misanya, aplikasi Mxit dan QQ Mobile tidak memenuhi satu pun dari tujuh kategori keamanan untuk secure chat yang dikeluarkan oleh Electronic Frontiers Foundtaion (EFF). Bahkan, Yahoo! Messenger belum menerapkan disain keamanan yang baik, misalnya kita tidak dapat memverifikasi identitas kontak kita. Selain itu, Yahoo! Messenger tidak menerapkan perfect forward secrecy. Artinya, fitur keamanan pada beberapa aplikasi chat dikembangkan tidak berdasarkan pada rancangan spesifikasi keamanan. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan perancangan spesifikasi keamanan untuk pengembangan aplikasi secure chat dengan mengacu pada Common Criteria for IT Security Evaluation Version 3.1:2017.  Pada hasil rancangan tersebut, telah ditentukan 28 famili dari 7 kelas Secure Functional Requirement (SFR) yang harus dipenuhi dalam pengembangan aplikasi secure chat. Hasil rancangan telah divalidasi dengan metode expert judgment.

Abstract

Security specifications are very important for chat application development because they can determine the level of its security which, of course, will have an impact on user trust. However, the development of outstanding application security features is not all based on a clear security requirement specification. For example, the Mxit and QQ Mobile applications do not meet any of the seven security categories for secure chat issued by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). In fact, Yahoo! Messenger has not implemented a good security design, for example, we cannot verify the identity of our contacts and do not apply perfect forward secrecy. This means that security features in some chat applications are developed not based on security specification designs. In this study, the design of security specifications for secure chat application development was carried out by referring to the Common Criteria for IT Security Evaluation Version 3.1: 2017. In the design results, 28 families of 7 classes of Secure Functional Requirements (SFR) have been determined that must be met in the development of secure chat applications. The design result has been validated using expert judgment method.

Authors: Siswanto Edi , Suni Alfa Faridh
Published: November 2021

Aksi penyerangan pada non-player character (NPC) merupakan salah satu substansi penting dalam pembuatan game. Dalam melakukan penyerangan diperlukan strategi khusus agar NPC tidak mudah dikalahkan. Salah satunya adalah adanya variasi serangan terhadap pemain. Salah satu metode yang digunakan untuk mengatur penyerangan NPC adalah rulebase. Metode rulebase dapat memberikan variasi serangan sesuai kondisi NPC, namun metode rulebase bisanya menghasilkan behaviour yang statis dan tidak adaptif jika terdapat kondisi baru. AI seperti ini akan mudah diprediksi dan repetitif sehingga menurunkan tingkat tantangan bermain game. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut banyak peneliti yang menggunakan teknik learning. Salah satunya menggunakan metode naïve bayes. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan penerapan metode naïve bayes sebagai strategi penyerangan NPC pada shooter game. Metode naïve bayes digunakan untuk keputusan serangan yang diambil oleh NPC. Adapun parameter yang digunakan untuk keputusan penyerangan adalah nyawa, jarak, jumlah granat, dan jumlah amunisi yang dimiliki NPC. Sedangkan keputusan penyerangan dibagi menjadi serangan tembak, serangan granat, dan serangan pisau. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penerapan metode naïve bayes membuat NPC mampu melakukan penyerangan secara otonom jika terdapat kondisi baru dengan akurasi 80%. Penerapan metode naïve bayes juga lebih unggul dalam persentase kemenangan NPC dibanding metode rulebase. Tingkat kemenangan NPC menggunakan metode naïve bayes sebesar 60% sedangkan rulebase sebesar 16%. AbstractNon-Player Character’s (NPC) attacks behaviour is one important substance in making games. While NPC attacks needs specific strategy to not get defeated easily. One of the NPC attacks strategy is a variation of offense to player. One of the methods to manage the NPC attack strategy is rulebase. Rulebase method can give variations of the NPC attacks according in conditions, but rulebase method usually producing static behaviour and not adaptive where there is new condition. AI like this would easy too predictive and repetitive so that decrease the challenge of playing games. To overcome these problems, we use naïve bayes method. In this study, naïve bayes method are applied as an NPC’s attack strategy to the shooter game. Naïve bayes method used for attack decisions taken by the NPC. The parameters used for the attack’s decision are health point, distance, number of grenades, and number of ammunitions owned by the NPC. While attacks decision is divided into firing attacks, grenade attacks, and melee attacks. The results showed that the use naïve bayes method can attack autonomously if there are new condition with an accuracy of 80%. The implementation of naïve bayes method at NPC more superior than rulebase method in percentage of NPC winning. The NPC win rate uses the naïve bayes method is 60% while the rulebase is 16%.

Published: November 2021

Objetivo: Revisar e discutir o diagnóstico diferencial e tratamento das lesões endo-periodontais. Revisão bibliográfica: As lesões endodôntico-periodontais afetam ao mesmo tempo a polpa e o periodonto. Como mostram semelhança embriológica, anatômica e de microbiota, o seu diagnóstico acaba se tornando uma inspiração para os cirurgiões dentistas. A polpa dentária e o ligamento periodontal estão intimamente relacionados, possuem interrelações embrionárias, anatômicas e funcionais. Há uma maior comunicação entre esses dois tecidos, sendo assim, a ocorrência de doença em um dos tecidos pode ser difundida para o outro, pois essas conexões servem de caminho para os microorganismos e seus subprodutos transitarem entre a polpa e o periodonto. A lesão endo-perio é uma condição caracterizada pela associação da doença periodontal e pulpar no mesmo elemento dental. Para avaliação da lesão e correto diagnóstico e estabelecimento do melhor plano de tratamento, é necessário conhecer os métodos de classificação das lesões endo-perio visando um melhor prognóstico. Considerações finais: Por intermédio desse conhecimento, o cirurgião dentista chegará o diagnóstico e o tratamento corretos, revertendo em possíveis chances de sucesso ao tratamento das lesões endodônticas-periodontais. Pertinente à multiplicidade dessas infecções, uma conduta interdisciplinar entre endodontistas, periodontistas e microbiologistas é aconselhada.
A comparative study on perceptions of medical students from the different curriculum on team-based learning
Authors: Bhojaraja Vijayalakshmi S. , Goud B. K. Manjunatha , Kumar Joan , Srinivasan Anand , Shetty Jeevan K.
Published: November 2021

Objectives:

Our medical school followed the traditional curriculum earlier, and due to a large amount of content embedded in each discipline, which had less scope for active and deep learning. To overcome this, we adopted an integrated curriculum and introduced a few active teaching/learning (T/L) methodologies, which promote deep learning and problem-solving skills. One such T/L methodology we introduced was team-based learning (TBL). Before implementing this active T/L methodology in the integrated curriculum, we evaluated the effectiveness of TBL in medical students from the traditional curriculum and aimed to determine students’ perceptions. Furthermore, we aimed to explore the perception of TBL in students who underwent integrated curriculum to evaluate the difference in their perception compared to the traditional curriculum.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study was conducted in RAK Medical and Health Sciences University on the 1st year medical students from the traditional and integrated curriculum. Institutional ethical committee clearance and informed consent were obtained before starting the study. A pre-validated 5-item survey questionnaire comprising questions related to the content, process, and teamwork was used to obtain perceptions of students’ on TBL.

Results:

The students positively perceived the teaching-learning experience using TBL and understood the concepts better. Even the students with integrated curriculum had the same positive impact on their learning attitudes. The majority of students in both cohorts agreed that discussion among their teams helped them to learn better. Around two-thirds (66%) of students from the traditional curriculum and one-third (39%) of students from integrated curriculum wanted TBLs as T/L methodology over didactic lectures.

Conclusion:

TBL helped to learn better and understand the subject and promoted self and peer engagement, which facilitated their learning by clarifying the doubts with peers. Due to this positive TBL experience, most students from both curriculums recommended its use as a T/L method over lecture. Hence, TBL sessions in medical schools can be used as an effective T/L method to facilitate meaningful learning.

L’ennemi sous la langue – Perspectivisme amérindien et philosophie deleuzo-guattarienne du langage
Authors: Dierickx Gauthier
Published: November 2021

Dans le prolongement du perspectivisme amérindien d’Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, cet article ambitionne de dégager une théorie amazonienne du langage à partir de certains chants guerriers des Araweté, population indigène du Brésil oriental. Pour ce faire, nous mobiliserons la philosophie du langage développée par Deleuze et Guattari. En effet, en raison des nombreuses analogies entre la structure énonciative de ces chants et cette philosophie, cette dernière semble constituer un terreau favorable pour traduire cette structure dans notre matrice conceptuelle occidentale. Une telle traduction nous permettra non seulement de nous libérer de l’idéal de communication – si cher à certaines théories linguistiques – mais également de souligner l’intérêt pour notre philosophie du langage et de la littérature d’aborder des matériaux non occidentaux.

Титановые гранаты широко распространены во многих скарнах и ультраосновных щелочных массивах. Шорломит, моримотоит и андрадит образуют широкие серии твердых растворов. Наиболее распространенными считаются меланит (Ti-содержащий андрадит) и шорломит. Была изучена коллекция титановых и титансодержащих гранатов Минералогического музея им. А.Е. Ферсмана РАН. Все полученные составы гранатов располагаются от чистого андрадита до поля, отвечающего составу моримотоита. Ни одного шорломита среди изученных образцов коллекции не установлено. Пересчет составов гранатов из литературных источников также показал широкое развитие моримотоита и титансодержащего андрадита, собственно шорломит оказался редок. Полученные данные позволяют делать вывод о гораздо большем распространении моримотоита, в отличие от шорломита, достоверных находок которого гораздо меньше, чем считалось ранее.

Understanding the Conformational Preference of Propeller-shaped Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Published: November 2021

The physico-chemical properties of chiral propeller-shaped PAHs (propellerenes) are strongly dependent on their conformational behavior. A sound, physical model to understand why propellerenes exhibit a conformation preference for either a C2 or D3 conformation that moves beyond a phenomenological explanation is needed. We have therefore performed a computational study to rationalize the conformational preference of propellerenes. Using an activation strain analysis approach, we find that the conformational preference of propellerenes is ultimately determined by the flexibility of the wings. When wings are relatively flexible, as is the case for ortho-substituted propellerenes, a favorable contraction of the radial bonds connecting the core and the propellerene wings is possible, and the more distorted C2 conformation will be preferred. The more rigid wings of benzenoid propellerenes, on the other hand, cannot deform sufficiently, and will therefore always adopt a D3 conformation. Our approach represents a unique method to pinpoint the conformational preferences of propellerenes, and, in principle, any sterically congested molecule.
Leading Locally: How New Zealand's mayors get things done
Authors: Mahoney Seán
Published: November 2021

New Zealand’s directly elected mayors are considered an example of a weak mayoral model, with mayors having limited legal powers to make decisions or appointments. However, many mayors continue to shape policy direction alongside their councillor colleagues. This article examines how a collaborative leadership approach allows mayors to successfully lead locally even without strong executive powers. Future reforms of local government should consider how to build on this leadership framework.
Local Alcohol Policies in New Zealand: An overview of their implementation and effects on crime
Authors: Tyler-Harwood Lauren , Kutinova Menclova Andrea
Published: November 2021

We document the implementation of local alcohol policies in New Zealand and then study their impacts on crime. A key contribution of our study is that we construct a detailed data set on local alcohol policies applicable across territorial authorities between July 2014 and January 2019. To our knowledge, we are the first ones to provide such a comprehensive overview. In a subsequent analysis, we find that local alcohol policies as recently implemented in New Zealand do not appear to have reduced crime. This result holds for specific policy dimensions and their stringency (e.g., closing times and geographic restrictions on issuing new licences), and is reasonably robust across crime types, days/times of occurrence, and socioeconomic subgroups. Our failure to identify significant reductions in crime following the imposition of local alcohol policies may partly reflect the policies being non-binding in some cases: for example, licensed premises had sometimes already operated within the restricted trading hours specified by a local alcohol policy.
Determinants of Stock Market Liquidity: Auto Regressive Distributed Lag Based Evidence from the Emerging Equity Market
Authors: Husnain Muhammad , Hashmi Aijaz Mustafa , Ahmad Mumtaz
Published: November 2021

Purpose: This research examines the impact of oil prices, exchange rate, stock market index, market volatility and inflation on the stock market liquidity.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The sample period is 20 years from 2000 to 2019 on monthly basis. We employ the auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach for analyzing long run and short run nature of relationship among variables. We also apply diagnostics including, normality check, serial correlation test, heteroscedasticity test and CUSM models for the stability of the models. 

Findings: We finds that exchange rate and inflation have a long-term negative relationship, but oil prices, stock returns, and stock market volatility have a long-term positive relationship with stock market liquidity. Furthermore, these findings are robust under three different proxies of stock market liquidity for three sectors: text composite, textile weaving, and textile spinning.

Implications/Originality/Value: This study extend the existing debate on the relationship between macroeconomic variables and stock market liquidity in developed world to the emerging equity market. It also contributes by examining the impact of macroeconomic variables on the sectorial levels in equity market by using three proxies for stock market liquidity including, Amihud liquidity, average trading and trading volume.
