Authors: Manninen Niina , Kuusisto Elina , Tirri Kirsi
Published: January 2019

The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinds of field education experiences that social services students (N = 113) regard as meaningful. The theoretical structure was based on a ”purpose of life” framework (Damon, Menon & Bronk 2003). Pursuing a helping profession is identified as a life purpose whenit is a personally meaningful long-term life goal that is intentionally realized by benefiting others. Based on quantitative and qualitative data, the study relates the students’ meaningful field education experiences to a sense of community, learning professional competencies, and learning related to the self. Students’ confidence in helping and in social advocacy increased after their field education, and they were less concerned with searching for purpose. Helping seems to be an important life goal for the students but explicitly reflecting its pro-social meanings does not seem apparent.

Simone Weilin inspiroimia ajatuksia eettiseksi kasvamiseen, hyvän toteutumiseen ja sosiaaliseen silloittumiseen kuudennen aallon (2010–2050) yhteiskunnassa
Authors: Kuosmanen Voitto
Published: January 2019

Simone Weil (1908–1943) oli ranskalainen filosofi, jota kiinnosti kysymys, kuinka elää eettisesti vastuullista elämää modernissa, ihmisen elämän edellytyksiä tuhoavassakulttuurissa. Weil ajatteli, että ihmisen ydin on hyvyys. Ongelmana on se, että ajatuksemme ja tekomme eivät enää tavoita toisiaan. Taustalla on juurista irtirepeytymisenongelma. Kun ihminen on repeytynyt irti juuristaan, hän on kadottanut vallan omaan elämäänsä.Miten oman elämän sivustakatsojaksi asettunut voisi elää eettisesti arvokasta elämää? Weil pyytää ihmistä kääntämään katseen tarpeisiinsa ja niiden tyydyttymiseen.Weil katsoi, että ihmisiä yhdistävät aidot fyysiset ja ”sielun” tarpeet. Fyysisten tarpeiden tyydyttyminen on ihmisten yhteinen intressi. Yhteiskunta voidaanrakentaa noiden tarpeiden tyydyttymisen perustalle. Kuitenkin vasta sitten, kun ihminen ottaa itse vastuun henkisten tarpeidensa tyydyttymisestä, hän silloittaa itsensätoisiin ihmisiin ja luontoon eli kasvattaa juurensa uudelleen.Ihmiskunnalla on ratkaistavana jännite sivilisaation tuhon ja kestävän tulevaisuuden välillä. Nyt elämme niin sanotussa kuudennen aallon (2010–2050) yhteiskunnassa,jossa haasteeksi nousee solidaarisuuteen perustuvien siteiden vahvistaminen ihmisten keskinäisessä toiminnassa. Tekstissä pohdin, millaisia ajatuksia SimoneWeil tarjoaa sosiaalipedagogisesti virittyneille toimijoille kestävän tulevaisuuden rakentumiseen.

Barium titanate via thermal decomposition of Ba,Ti-precursor complexes: The nature of the intermediate phases
Authors: Köferstein Roberto
Published: January 2019

The thermal decomposition of Ba,Ti-precursor complexes, containing organic ligands and suitable for the single-source preparation of nanocrystalline BaTiO3, leads firstly to the segregation of specific Ba-rich and Ti-rich phases. Quantitative electron energy loss spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction data indicated that the (i) Ba-rich phase is a BaO-stabilised variant of the calcite-type high-temperature modification of BaCO3 and (ii) Ti-rich phases are represented by low crystalline barium titanates with the general Ba:Ti ratio close to 1:4. The subsequent solid state reaction between these phases results then in the formation of BaTiO3.

Published: January 2019

The preparation of a nano-sized LaFeO3 powder by a soft-chemistry method usingstarch as complexing agent is described herein. Phase evolution and development of thespecific surface area during the decomposition process of (LaFe)-gels were monitored up to1000 °C. A phase-pure nano-sized LaFeO3 powder with a high specific surface area of 25.7m2/g and a crystallite size of 37 nm was obtained after calcining at 570 °C. TEMinvestigations reveal a porous powder with particles in the range of 20 to 60 nm. Calcinationsto 1000 °C result in crystallite sizes up to 166 nm. Dilatometric measurements of the sinteringbehaviour show that the beginning of shrinkage of pellets from the nano-sized powder is downshifted by more than 300 °C compared to coarse-grained mixed-oxide powder. The orthorhombic - rhombohedral phase transition was observed at 980 °C in DTAmeasurements for coarse-grained ceramic bodies. The enthalpy change (dH) during the phasetransition and the thermal expansion coefficient (adil) for ceramics was determined as 410 J/mol and 11.8×10-6 K-1, respectively. Whereas the enthalpy changes during the phase transition of the nano-sized LaFeO3 powders are £ 200 J/mol.

Authors: Köferstein Roberto
Published: January 2019

The electrical and optical properties of Ge-doped BaSnO3 ceramics sintered at varioustemperatures have been investigated to determine their semiconductor behavior. The electricalconductivity of Ge-doped BaSnO3 samples increases with increase in temperature, confirmingthat the samples exhibit a semiconductor behavior. A maximum conductivity value of6.31 × 10−9 S/cm was observed for the sample sintered at 1200 °C. The optical band gaps ofthe Ge-doped BaSnO3 samples were determined by means of reflectance spectra. The variation of optical band gap with temperature was analyzed using Eg(T) = Ego + βT relation. The rate of change of the band gap β of BaSn0.99Ge0.01O3 was found to be 7.6 × 10−4 (eV/°C).A minimum optical band gap value of 2.95 eV was observed for the sample sintered at 1400 °C. It is evaluated that BaSn0.99Ge0.01O3 is a wide band gap semiconductor and its semiconducting properties change with sintering temperature.

Magnetic and optical investigations on LaFeO3 powders with different particle sizes and corresponding ceramics
Authors: Köferstein Roberto
Published: January 2019

The optical and magnetic properties of nano-LaFeO3 powders prepared by a starchassisted soft-chemistry synthesis and corresponding ceramics have been investigated.Magnetic measurements on LaFeO3 powders with crystallite sizes of 37−166 nm showpronounced magnetization hysteresis loops. Measurements at 300 K reveal that the coercivity(Hc) of 19−32 kOe depends on the crystallite size, whereas the low remanence values (Mr) ofroughly 0.2 emu/g and the maximal magnetization (Mmax) at 90 kOe of 1.05−0.85 emu/g areonly slightly changing. Investigations at 10 K reveal a loop shift (exchange bias) up to 12 kOein the negative direction depending on the crystallite size. Ceramic bodies, sintered at ³ 1300°C possess a considerably reduced hysteresis loop. Hc is decreased up to 3.0 kOe, whereas Mr and Mmax are slightly increasing. None of the samples reaches saturation at 90 kOe indicating an anti-ferromagnetic ordering of the spins. The optical band gaps of the LaFeO3 sampleswere determined by means of diffuse reflectance spectra. For all LaFeO3 powders similar band gaps of 2.65 eV were observed. However, ceramics with grain-size significantly larger than 250 nm show smaller band gap values up to 2.12 eV.

authorities in the Arab countries which resulted in growing research to investigate this claim and major initiatives to promote reading among Arabs. This paper aims to contribute to our knowledge about reading in this region by studying the motivation and habits of recreational reading of university educated youth in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It specifically aims to answer the questions: what are the recreational reading frequency, and the type and language of the reading material? Which personal characteristics correlate with recreational reading habits? And which factors impact the motivation to read? The findings are based on a survey of 775 undergraduate students at UAE University. The survey questionnaire included an adult reading motivation scale developed by Schutte and Malouff (2007) which was modified after assessing its goodness-of-fit to the UAE context using confirmatory factor analysis. Pearson’s chi-square test, Poisson regression and ANOVA were used to identify the correlates of reading habits and compare motivation scores across demographic groups. Seventy-one percent of the students read at least one book for pleasure in the last six months and they read, on average, for 2.3 hours per week. Reading frequency depends on gender, the student’s secondary education, and the parents’ education. Gender, parents’ education have significant effects on the motivation scores and the preferred language of reading (p-value < 0.01). Students read more during the academic year than in the vacation.
Tool-driven Revolutions in Archaeological Science
Authors: Schmidt Sophie Charlotte , Marwick Ben
Published: January 2019

There is an argument in philosophy of science that revolutions in science are either ideas-driven or tool-driven. We explore this debate in light of recent efforts by many scientific disciplines to embrace methods to improve the reproducibility of their research. One of the most profound changes driven by this concern for reproducibility and transparency is from analysing data using tools dependent on pointing-and-clicking with a mouse in commercial software, to a new set of tools based on writing scripts in free and open source programming languages. We present bibliometric evidence for this change in the sciences generally and in archaeology in particular to test if the adoption of these new tools may be considered a revolution or some other process. We identify a citation effect for papers that use code. We discuss how computational approaches to improving reproducibility and transparency in archaeology are mediated and transformed by the use of code.

This article considers the methods of teaching in the field of the language for general purposes and the language for special purposes. The purpose of the article is to give a comparative analysis of teaching general English and English for special purposes, to present arguments with respect to approaches designed to organize and ensure the high efficiency of mastering English for special purposes. The study focuses on comparative methods of studying different training programs in order to set out the results of a success study of different students groups. The authors substantiated the necessity of using the basic methodology of teaching a foreign language for special purposes with a higher efficiency of the personality-oriented approach as a basis for teaching ESP. The results of the research proved that the development of the program depends on the analysis of the needs of the learning group and the actual situations of using the language for special purposes. For teaching the EGP course, students have a common standard goal of learning English, which does not always correspond to the language needs of the students. The line of demarcation between the courses of EGP and ESP has become very important, but requires the further discussion. The approaches described in our study combine the study of subject discipline and a foreign language as a tool for mastering subject knowledge is the essence of European Union (EU) policy. The ESP methodology differs from the EGP, as the training on the ESP course is more specific and person-oriented.

Authors: SAID Khalid , MOUZRATI Abdelouahid El
Published: January 2019

The present study seeks to lay the foundations for a firmly-grounded understanding of Written Corrective Feedback (WCF) as a Formative Assessment (FA) tool through student writing. More specifically yet, it is concerned with examining the intricate correlation between Moroccan English Language Teachers’ (ELT) attitudes and practices with respect to the way they understand and apply FA by means of WCF on students’ written productions. To that end, the study seeks to investigate this issue in the light of the following guiding questions: What beliefs do Moroccan ELT teachers hold about FA and WCF? How do these teachers provide WCF to their students during the writing lesson? To address these questions, we have opted for a mixed method approach that includes questionnaires for 110 teachers, document analysis of 30 writing productions and a follow- up semi-structured interviews with teachers. Date has been interpreted through an Explanatory Sequential Design. Inspired by Lee‘s (2009) analytical model and Perumanathan (2014) study, major findings have been presented regarding mismatches. These findings have revealed strong mismatches between teachers espoused beliefs concerning WCF, as a formative assessment tool, and their actual classroom practices. Finally, the study sets some implications for teachers, supervisors underlining the implementation of WCF in classroom practices.

This paper aims to highlight ethnic stereotyping in the English-language mass media political discourse, which is an actual issue since the scope of media texts in English prevails in the global information space, which cannot but affect the viewpoint of an "average" English speaking reader. According to the cognitive linguistic approach, the stereotype is considered to be an element of the cultural and linguistic world view and an integral part of reality categorization mechanism. Ethnic stereotypes are very important in the process of intercultural communication since they can increase its effectiveness and eliminate interethnic problems or they can act vice versa. So auto- and hetero-stereotypes play a significant role in intercultural communication. This fact underlines the relevance of ethnic stereotype studies. The notions of "auto- stereotype” and “hetero-stereotype" are considered in the article, using the examples of English-language political media text headlines. Special attention is given to the headlines of English-language media texts about Russia. Basic features of the stereotype "modern Russia", formed by the English-language media, are defined by the analyzed political media text material.
The Syrian Refugee Crisis and Foreign Policy Decision-Making in Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey
Authors: Tsourapas Gerasimos
Published: January 2019

How does forced migration affect the politics of host states and, in particular, how does it impact upon states’ foreign policy decision-making? The relevant literature on refugee politics has yet to fully explore how forced migration encourages host states to employ their position in order to extract revenue from other state or non-state actors for maintaining refugee groups within their borders. This article explores the workings of refugee rentier states, namely states seeking to leverage their position as host states of displaced communities for material gain. It focuses on the Syrian refugee crisis, examining the foreign-policy responses of three major host states – Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. While all three engaged in post-2011 refugee rent-seeking behavior, Jordan and Lebanon deployed a backscratching strategy based on bargains, while Turkey deployed a blackmailing strategy based on threats. Employing primary sources in English and Arabic, the article inductively examines how the choice of strategy depended on the host state’s size of refugee community and domestic elites’ perception of their state’s geostrategic importance vis-à-vis the target state(s). The article concludes with a discussion on the significance of its findings for understanding the international dimension of the Syrian refugee crisis and paves the way for future research on the effects of forced displacement on host states’ political development.

It is argued that positive yet realistic beliefs are source of success as language learners whereas negative or unrealistic beliefs can be an impediment to successful language learning. This empirical survey identifies Saudi English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ beliefs through Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) developed by Horwitz’s (1987). The Arabic version of the questionnaire has been administered and 118 Saudi EFL learners from a Saudi university returned the questionnaire. The research questions set for this survey include what beliefs Saudi EFL learners have towards the difficulty of foreign language learning, foreign language aptitude, the nature of language learning, learning and communication strategies and motivation and expectations for English language learning. The results reveal that the participants bear high English language learning aptitude and believe that it is easier to learn it in childhood. No strong relationship in learning subjects like science and math and English language was reported. The participants also believe that for quick and successful language learning, it is imperative to practice the target language extensively. A positive trend is that Saudi EFL learners have been extremely positive and encouraging towards their chances of achieving communicative competence and do not have any unnecessary inhibition in speaking English.

Authors: Phumsiri Napat , Tangkiengsirisin Supong
Published: January 2019

This study aims to examine the use of English with political correctness of master’s degree students in a university in Bangkok, Thailand and to identify their attitudes and opinions towards the use of English with political correctness. The subjects of this study were 100 students from different backgrounds who had been exposed to the English language for a significant period of time. They were asked to complete a questionnaire consisting of a test on the use of politically correct English vocabularies and terms, and a survey of their opinions and attitudes towards the use of English with political correctness. Five of the respondents were interviewed about their attitudes. The findings reveal that students are able to identify certain politically correct words and terms regardless of the categories. Respondents also have positive attitudes and they consider this type of language as a formal and respectful language. They also suggest that this type of language is important and it should be implemented in workplaces and certain fields. However, there are few limitations of English with political correctness as it is considered unclear and sometimes it is overused. Moreover, there is no institution or academic initiative to standardize the use of English with political correctness. The findings could be useful to develop the use of English with political correctness in society, to objectify politically correct language, and to promote the importance of politically correct language, which is viewed as formal and respectful language that can reduce conflicts in international communications.

Comparative Error Gravity: Toward a Cross Linguistic Theory
Authors: Lotze Nathaniel
Published: January 2019

Negative transfer is a difficulty for Arabic-speaking students of English. This study juxtaposes eight categories of Arabic-to-English transfer errors with equivalent and near-equivalent errors in Arabic. It compares their error gravity as rated by teachers and students to discover whether there are any differences between teacher and student perceptions that might inform teaching practices. It is also the first step toward a cross-linguistic theory of comparative error gravity based on the functional equivalence approach to translation. It finds that teachers tend to perceive grammatical errors as graver than mechanical or lexical errors, with most differences in perception appearing to stem from cultural background. Among students, there is very little consensus, in line with previous studies. This study concludes that teachers and students might benefit from a better understanding of both their own tendencies in perceiving errors and those of the other party in the learning process. It also recommends the development of a full-fledged theory for moving between languages for the purpose of studying error gravity comparatively in languages other than Arabic.

Published: January 2019

Whether to avoid learners’ first language (L1) or to make use of it in the second language (L2) classes is a controversial issue. Some studies have challenged the effectiveness of the monolingual approach to foreign language learning. This study investigates Saudi university learners’ attitudes and perceptions towards incorporating their L1(Arabic) in English class. This study also sheds light into the relationship between students’ perceptions and proficiency level in the target language. To this end, Gaebler's questionnaire (2014) was administered to 60 female learners studying in the preparatory year at a Saudi university. They were from three different English proficiency levels. The results showed that advanced learners hold a negative attitude towards the use of L1 in their English classes, whereas elementary and intermediate learners generally perceive the judicious use of their L1 positively.
The Performance of Topic Shifting in Inclusive Female Informal Gatherings: A Case Study
Authors: Al-Ghathami Ghada Abdullah
Published: January 2019

This paper analyzes how topic shifts are performed and perceived in conversations. It investigates the way topic shifts are constructed and sequenced in Saudi female conversations, focusing on the structure of topic shifts along with their discourse markers. It also aims at highlighting the way these topic shifts are observed by participants. This paper is a case study that tries to understand the performance of topic shifts in a recorded conversation with emphasis on the construction, markers and sequences of topics, adding empirical evidence to the overall knowledge related to this issue. It also studies perceptions of Saudi women on topic shifting. Two instruments were used: data recording and analysis, and a four-axis questionnaire. Gathered data was analyzed using interactional sociolinguistics analysis and statistics to arrive at results. The findings of the study indicate that the most frequent shifts of topics occurred after a pause where speakers introduced a new topic. These shifts were performed by using discourse markers such as asking questions, seeking explanations, or telling personal stories. Topic shifts might be violated in informal settings based on relations between participants. Questionnaire results conclude that topic shifts are performed in relation to interest, and motivated by closeness and need. It is recommended that further investigation is carried out considering different social variables and domains of interaction.
Metadiscourse Markers in Master Thesis Abstracts of American and Iraqi English Theses
Authors: Hussein Kawther Abdual Ameer , Khalil Jinan Ahmed , Abbas Nawal Fadhil
Published: January 2019

The present study is intended to critically examine metadiscourse markers in 24 master thesis abstracts. Twelve of them are written by non-native Iraqi female students and the rest by native American female students. To do so, the researchers have set two aims: examining the types and subtypes of metadiscourse markers in terms of nativity and major and comparing the usages of metadiscourse markers’ types and subtypes in terms of nativity. To achieve the present aims, Hyland’s model (2005) is adopted. It aids in classifying the types and subtypes of metadiscourse markers in both data. The findings show that the Iraqi and American researchers use the interactive resources more than the interactional ones but the American researchers are capable of engaging their readers since their use of the interactional markers is higher than their counterparts. The field has no effect on the use of metadiscourse markers. There is diversity in the usage of the interactive resources in Iraqi data. Accordingly, the researchers recommend metadiscourse markers to be added to M.A courses as part of abstract writing exercise and the instructors of fourth-year college students to include metadiscourse markers in the writing of their research papers for coherence and clarity.
Occupational Stress Injuries in Two Atlantic Provinces: A Policy Analysis

Published: January 2019

Although changes in occupational stress policy and legislation have drawn increasing attention in Central and Western Canada, relatively little is known about developments in the Atlantic region. In this article, we focus on examining legal reforms, specific policy, and collective bargaining agreement developments in the two Canadian Atlantic provinces that are currently publicly addressing the need for presumptive legislation: Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador. We focus on two occupational groups, police and correctional services, who have been cited in media and public discussions as focal points for legislative and policy reform because of the nature of their work. We assess how stress-related compensation and prevention laws are developing in Atlantic Canada and how occupational policies are moving in a similar direction across the country among these groups. We find that Atlantic Canada is moving relatively slowly to embrace the policy changes introduced by other provinces and the federal government, in terms of legal reforms, organizational policy, and collective bargaining language. We conclude that the lack of legal reforms in compensation, health, and safety law and the limited progress in occupational policies and collective agreements are mutually reinforcing the slow pace of change.
