Las instituciones que perduran.
Authors: Hanna Jairala Ignacio
Published: June 2024

Introducción: La frase "Los hombres pasan y las instituciones perduran", atribuido al francés Jean Monnet, es una frase que se ha convertido en un dogma, una máxima irrefutable que se menciona con frecuencia en actos públicos y conversaciones coloquiales. Sin embargo, el autor del artículo cuestiona la coherencia de esta frase, argumentando que las instituciones no siempre perduran y que los hombres no siempre pasan sin pena ni gloria.
Las instituciones y los hombres: El autor sostiene que las instituciones que perduran están cimentadas sobre las espaldas de los hombres y mujeres que lucharon y que luchan por mantenerlas vivas. Aunque estos hombres no estén algún día, su huella indeleble impedirá que su recuerdo pase.
El Hospital Alcivar: un ejemplo de institución perdurable: El Hospital Alcivar de Guayaquil es una institución que ha perdurado a través del tiempo. Casi nueve décadas de trabajo permanente para el servicio de la comunidad, tanto en la atención médica como en la formación académica. A pesar de las dificultades que ha enfrentado, como la deuda de la salud pública, el hospital se ha mantenido firme en su compromiso de ofrecer servicios de calidad y de formar nuevos profesionales.
El papel fundamental de los hombres y mujeres en las instituciones: El autor destaca que el éxito de las instituciones depende del trabajo y la dedicación de los hombres y mujeres que las conforman. Sin ellos, las instituciones serían como árboles sin raíces que mueren al menor contratiempo.
Conclusión: El autor concluye que los hombres y mujeres son la base fundamental de las instituciones. Son ellos quienes las hacen perdurar en el tiempo y las convierten en agentes de cambio positivo en la sociedad.

Authors: Mendoza Zaragoza Norma Elena , Téllez Tula Ángel , Herrera Corona Laura
Published: June 2024

This study aims to investigate the impact of advanced grammar checkers, specifically Grammarly, on thesis writing in academic settings. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research involved semi-structured interviews with three experienced thesis supervisors from two academic institutions. The findings highlight that while Grammarly enhances writing quality through immediate, personalized feedback, it raises concerns about potential over-reliance, which may hinder the development of students' writing skills and academic independence. The research underscores the need for a balanced integration of AI tools in academic writing, advocating for their use as supplementary aids rather than primary solutions. It also calls for comprehensive training and clear policies to maximize the benefits of these tools while maintaining academic integrity and fostering critical thinking skills among students.
The Dark Facet of Perceived Overqualification: Predictors and their Impact on Proactive Behavior
Authors: Arshad Ramsha , Abbas Javaria , Tufail Sajid , Zulfiqar Asia
Published: June 2024

According to the literature on perceived overqualification (POQ), previous researchers overlooked its predictors, mediating mechanism, and particularly the direct impact of POQ on proactive behavior. Integrating person-environment fit theory, this research aims to examine the POQ’s predictor (boredom proneness and perceived organizational politics) mediating mechanism and its effect on proactive behavior. Using a cross-sectional research design 189 responses were collected from diverse non-manufacturing sectors and evaluated utilizing partial least square structural equation modeling. The results depict that perceived organizational politics and boredom proneness significantly predict POQ. Similarly, our findings indicate that the direct association of POQ with proactive behavior was negative. Further, POQ mediates the relationship between predictors and outcomes. Theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and forthcoming recommendations of our research are discussed.

Teaching speaking in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes at Indonesian vocational high schools has not been extensively studied from teachers’ perspectives. This paper reports on findings from interview data from four EFL teachers in an Indonesian vocational high school regarding the challenges they encounter on teaching EFL speaking and how they deal with these in the classroom. A case study design which enables researchers to explore a particular issue within a specific context deeply was used. The participating teachers in this study were voluntarily recruited for in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed with thematic analysis to capture emerging themes from the participants’ own words. The results of this study suggested that the participants experienced a number of challenging issues in teaching speaking to their students. They perceived that students’ lack of vocabulary and poor pronunciation were the major problems they encountered while teaching speaking in class. Furthermore, psychological factors such as a lack of confidence and low motivation were also factors hindering communicative speaking activities during class. Based on the findings, policymakers should reframe the current curriculum for speaking classes in the Indonesian vocational high schools.
Is it ‘Increase’ or ‘Rise?’ A Corpus-based Behavioural Profile Study of English Near-Synonym Verbs
Authors:   Dhofar University, Uba Sani Yantandu , Irudayasamy Julius
Published: June 2024

This study emerged as a result of insufficient knowledge and descriptions of the behavioural profiles of the near-synonym English verbs, increase and rise, by non-corpus-based traditional reference sources used by students. We explored the behavioural characteristics of this group of near-synonym verbs using the British National Corpus (BNC) of 100 million words as our corpus. Using the Sketch Engine Tool, we examined their frequency, subject and object noun collocations, adverb collocations, and syntactic behavioural profiles. The results demonstrate that both words collocate with subject and object nouns. However, on their top ten subject collocation lists, increase only collocates with abstract nouns related to finance and economy, whereas rise collocates with three different kinds of abstract nouns related to finance/economy, the human entity, and the natural environment, and one concrete noun related to natural environment. In addition, they only have two collocates in common on their top subject noun collocates list. In terms of object noun collocations, increase only collocates with abstract nouns connected to finance/economy and the natural environment, but rise collocates with abstract and concrete nouns on their top list. They also only have three adverb collocations in common on the top list. Rise has 17 distinct syntactic patterns, whereas increase has 15 different syntactic patterns. In teaching near-synonyms, we propose using corpus-based reference resources.

Authors:   De La Salle University, Migallos Kimberley , Parina Jose Cristina M.
Published: June 2024

The study aimed at identifying the core language skills regarded as most significant in the academe and eventually in the workplace among engineering graduates. The study surveyed tertiary students to identify their perception of the skills needed upon graduation, together with the kind of instruction that would improve and progress the said skills. An interview among chosen professors was also conducted, together with in-class observations to provide more insights on the prerequisites that engineering graduates need to succeed, starting from job applications to full immersion in the field. The qualitative method applied showed that the most significant skills an engineering student/practitioner must acquire according to the survey among students are a) above-average writing and writing laboratory instructions and b) above-average listening skills that lead to an active speaking dialogue. The classroom observation shows that students are not inclined to participate in discussions and the interviews with the professors reveal that engineering students are not very competent orally and thus, speaking in their native language Taglish (Tagalog + English) should be allowed at the beginning until they become proficient in English. A pedagogical implication was provided together with a recommendation in addressing the possible gaps in the curriculum and methodologies.

Authors:   Walailak University, Nurmala Nurmala , Anggoro Kiki Juli
Published: June 2024

ocabulary development is critical for the acquisition of any language. It is essential to improve vocabulary acquisition through the use of effective approaches. This research study integrated two popular ways to enhance vocabulary development: vocabulary lists and an interactive response system, Socrative. It investigated how the integration of the two tools affected students’ vocabulary skills. Furthermore, students’ perceptions of vocabulary lists and Socrative were explored. The participants were 189 first-year and second-year science and technology students taking a General English course, English Presentation in Sciences and Technology. There were four CEFR levels identified, A1, A2, B1, B2. These levels showed that the students were beginner and intermediate English language learners. To investigate the effect of the intervention, students’ pre- and post-test scores were gathered and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. To explore students’ perceptions, focused-group discussions and in-depth interviews were conducted. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores (t (188)=-19.86), p < 0.00. The mean of the post-test (M = 14.22, SD = 4.37) was significantly higher than that of the pre-test (M = 9.43, SD = 2.64 by 4.79. Further analysis was conducted to investigate CEFR scores, which revealed a significant improvement in all four groups. In addition to the vocabulary skills, the findings also include students’ perceptions of the vocabulary lists and Socrative. Both tools benefitted the students, yet several drawbacks still need to be considered for future improvement.

The study was carried out on proximate, mineral and antinutritional compositions of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) in order to compare the nutritional and antinutritional composition of these two important food crops. The standard analytical techniques were used for all the determinations and analyses. The calculated parameters were metabolized energy, mineral safety index (MSI), mineral ratios of some minerals. The results of the proximate composition (%) revealed that crude fat (2.46 ± 0.07), moisture (5.85 ± 0.03) and total energy (1539.25 kj/100g) contents were higher for rice than cowpea (1.61 ± 0.06, 4.58 ± 0.10 and 1489.27 kj/100g), respectively while cowpea had higher level of crude protein (10.10 ± 0.14) and crude fiber (4.67 ± 0.17) than the crude protein (9.10±0.13) and crude fibre (2.37±0.08) of rice. No mineral had a deleterious value in the MSI because they had their table value (TV) > calculated value (CV). The phytate, tannin and oxalate concentrations were higher in rice (90.08±0.52 %, 6.01±0.01 mg/100g and 5.05±0.18 %) compared with that of the cowpea (40.45±2.68 %, 3.11±0.08 mg/100g and 4.37±0.09 %) while cowpea had higher concentrations in total phenol (24.79±2.55 %) and flavonoids (4.55±0.07 %) than rice. Antinutritional analysis showed that rice had higher levels of phytic acid and tannins, which can reduce the bioavailability of minerals, while flavonoids were higher in cowpea. This study concludes that both rice and cowpea are important sources of nutrients and should be consumed in combination to ensure a balanced diet.

The adsorption of CO2 changes the pore content in coal. After CO2 adsorption, pore content in coal shows a trend of first increasing, then decreasing and then increasing. CO2 adsorption pressure, CO2 adsorption time and CO2-H2O slightly change the variation range of pore size, but the trend remains unchanged. For example, in the case of CO2 adsorption for 72 hours, the pore content of 2~10nm and >700nm is generally increased, and the pore content of 10~700nm is significantly reduced. In the case of 144 hours of CO2 adsorption, the pore content of 2~20nm and >700nm generally increased, and the pore content of 20~700nm significantly decreased. When water +CO2 was adsorbed for 144 hours, the pore content of 2~12nm and >700nm generally increased, and the pore content of 12~700nm generally decreased. The coal samples show a certain lag of mercury removal before and after CO2, which indicates that there are some ineffective pores in the coal. The mercury removal efficiency of the coal sample after CO2 adsorption is generally lower than that of the dry sample, indicating that a large number of inefficiently connected pores are generated after CO2 adsorption. That is, CO2 does increase a large number of pores in coal, but the pores are mainly non-connected pores, that is, CO2 has a weak improvement in the connectivity of the pores in coal

Published: June 2024

Introduction: After subarachnoid block with conventional heavy Bupivacaine, hypotension is the most common complication and is caused by decrease in systemic vascular resistance and/or cardiac output. Even with standard doses of the drug for parturient, there are evidences of severe hypotension and other complications despite adequate analgesia and anaesthesia. Adjuvants are used to enhance the quality of blocks with less complications.
Objectives: It was to evaluate the effectiveness of combining bupivacaine and fentanyl for spinal anesthesia during lower segment Caesarean section (LSCS) as opposed to using bupivacaine alone for the incidence of hypotension.
Methodology: This is a prospective study of 210 patients aged 18-35 years of American society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status II undergoing elective lower segment Caesarean section, randomly assigned to two groups: Group A, received a mixture of intrathecal 2ml of 0.5% Bupivacaine and 10 mcg Fentanyl(2.2ml) and Group B, received only 2.2 ml of Bupivacaine. Noninvasive blood pressure was checked at 1,2,4,6,10,20,40 and 60 min after subarachnoid block and then post-surgery.
Results: The occurrence of hypotension was higher in Group B (26.6%) compared to Group A (8.6%).
Conclusion: Our study suggests that the intrathecal Fentanyl-Bupivacaine combination is effective in reducing the incidence of hypotension after SAB for elective LSCS. Additional research is needed to determine this combination’s optimal dosage and timing.

осознание роли педагога в развитии личности всегда являлось вопросом, который был предметом исследования авторов различных областей значений, как самой педагогики, так и психологии, менеджмента и других. Повышенный интерес к данному вопросу не является случайным, поскольку модернизация современного отечественного образования неизбежно привела к тому, что к педагогу предъявляются требования. Так, современный педагог, осуществляя профессиональную деятельность должен основываться на ряде факторов: основы педагогической науки, современные общепризнанные методы и формы обучения и воспитания и так далее. Современная действительность диктует новые возможности и роли для не только для педагогов, но и для управленцев в образовании. Актуальность выбранной темы исследования обуславливается тем, что термин «педагогический менеджмент» является относительно новым и малоисследованным, чем вызывает повышенный интерес.

awareness of the role of the teacher in personal development has always been an issue that has been the subject of research by authors of various fields of meaning, both pedagogy itself and psychology, management and others. The increased interest in this issue is not accidental, since the modernization of modern domestic education has inevitably led to demands being placed on teachers. Thus, a modern teacher, carrying out professional activities, must be based on a number of factors: the foundations of pedagogical science, modern generally accepted methods and forms of training and education, and so on. Modern reality dictates new opportunities and roles for not only teachers, but also for managers in education. The relevance of the chosen research topic is determined by the fact that the term “pedagogical management” is relatively new and little-studied, which arouses increased interest.
