Critical Thinking and Willingness to Communicate among EFL Students
Authors: Yaghoubi Ahmad
Published: March 2017

The purpose of the study has been to determine the existence of any significant relationship between willingness to communicate as a determining factor in language learning and critical thinking and its psychological constructs. The five psychological levels of critical thinking are inference ability, recognizing assumption ability, deduction ability, interpretation ability and argument evaluation ability. There were two instruments implemented so as to obtain as valid data as possible. First, Willingness to Communicate Questionnaire (WTCQ) was adapted from MacIntyre, Baker, Clément and Conrod (2001) to measure students’ willingness to communicate. The second instrument was Critical Thinking Questionnaire (CTQ) which was adapted from Watson & Glaser (1994), and it was intended to gauge critical thinking and the related psychological constructs. The sample of the study included 360 BA English students who were selected based on the multistage random sampling from the English students at Islamic Azad University branches of Tehran province. The research has been conducted based on a descriptive correlational study which resulted in the existence of significant positive correlation between all psychological levels of critical thinking and willingness to communicate. Moreover, critical thinking as a major variable was also found significantly correlated with willingness to communicate.
LA CONVERSATION ENTRE MARIE ET JÉSUS AUX NOCES DE CANA : ÉTUDE PRAGMATIQUE D’UN ENCHAÎNEMENT CONVERSATIONNEL SÉMANTIQUEMENT INCOHERENT
Authors: GBAKRE Jean-Marie Andoh
Published: March 2017

RÉSUMÉ. La sémantique consacre l’explicite dans l’usage syntaxique des mots. Cependant, il existe des niveaux d’actes de langage où la fluidité du lien sémantique observe une rupture. La conversation entre Marie et Jésus, lors des noces de Cana, fait cas d’étude. Face à la limite de l’interprétation sémantique constatée dans cet échange qui à l’air d’un dialogue de sourd, et qui pourtant comporte une finalité perlocutoire prégnante, la pragmatique est convoquée. Comment se perçoit la limite de l’interprétation sémantique en conversation de façon générale, et, qu’est-ce qui caractérise l’échange entre Marie et Jésus ? Comment se fait dans ce dialogue le passage de l’illocutoire au perlocutoire ? Le traitement de ces questions constitue le schéma procédural de la réflexion qui entend dégager la solidarité de la pragmatique face aux limites de la sémantique. Mots-clés : cognition, cohérence sémantique, efficacité pragmatique, interaction, variables actionnelles.  ABSTRACT. The semantics devotes explicit in the syntactic use of words. However, there are levels of speech acts where the fluidity of the semantic link observes a break. The conversation between Mary and Jesus at the wedding at Cana is a case study. Faced with the limits of the semantic interpretation found in this exchange that looks a dialogue of the deaf, and yet has a purpose perlocutory pregnant, pragmatics is called. How to perceive the limits of semantic interpretation in general conversation and what characterizes the exchange between Mary and Jesus? How is this dialogue in the passage of the illocutionary perlocutory? The treatment of these issues is the procedural pattern of thinking which intends to generate the solidarity of pragmatic face to the limits of semantics. Keywords: actionals variables, cognition, consistency semantics, interaction, pragmatic efficiency.
DUPLO-PRODUTO EM FUNÇÃO DA IDADE NO TESTE DE CAMINHADA
Authors: Soares Nara Michelle Moura
Published: March 2017

Introdução: atualmente, o exercício físico realizado de forma sistemática tem sido um dos principais fatores para a melhoria e para a manutenção dos níveis de saúde. Durante o envelhecimento há uma diminuição da freqüência cardíaca e uma tendência a um aumento da pressão arterial, por isso, o idoso constitui um grupo de maior risco para o aparecimento de doenças degenerativas. O DP, analisado após o pico de esforço máximo, tem sido um parâmetro imprescindível para determinar ausência de isquemia do miocárdio. Assim, nesta relação, não existem evidências suficientes sobre a influência da idade no DP. Objetivo: comparar o Duplo Produto (DP) em indivíduos adultos e idosos, participantes do Programa Academia da Cidade de Aracaju-SE. Metodologia: a amostra foi composta por 20 pessoas, divididas em 2 grupos em função da idade, sendo o grupo 1 composto por 12 indivíduos 49 (±7) anos, e o grupo 2 composto por 8 indivíduos 68 (±5) anos. Os dados foram coletados em repouso (r) e após o teste de caminha (c), que consistia em percorrer 2000 metros, o mais rápido possível. Para a determinação do Duplo-Produto (DP) utilizou-se a resultante da multiplicação entre a Pressão Arterial Sistólica (PAS) pela Freqüência Cardíaca (FC). Na análise estatística utilizou-se o programa Winks SDA 6.0.3, calculando-se a média e o desvio padrão para cada variável analisada nos distintos grupos. Utilizou-se ainda a correlação de Pearson controlada pela idade e o test-t de Student, determinando o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: os resultados mostraram que não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos 1 e 2 quando comparadas as variáveis PASr 118 (±14) e 120 (±11) mmHg, PASc 123 (±21) e 129 (±19) mmHg, FCr 85 (±16) e 73 (±9) bpm, FCc 112 (±13) e 122 (±21) bpm, DPr 9.962 (±2.031) e 8.798 (±1.272) mmHg . bpm, e DPc 13.600 (±2.996) e 15.875 (±4.644) mmHg . bpm, todos com p>0,05. As correlações ajustadas pela idade apresentaram coeficientes de baixa magnitude e não significativos, respectivamente de r = 0,1030 a r = -0,3578 (p>0,05). Conclusão: pode-se concluir que a idade não foi fator determinante nos índices do duplo-produto. Sugere-se, portanto, a realização de outros estudos incluindo grupos de indivíduos sedentários e não-sedentários, podendo desta forma comparar o efeito do exercício físico nas variáveis analisadas.

What is empathy: cognitive concepts and models
Authors: Ermolova M.Y.
Published: March 2017

Empathy is a complex and diverse indispensable mechanism in human interaction. It enables co-feel and mentally model what another person feels at the moment. For better understanding, empathy can be thought of as the ability to feel the consequences of some experience, not feeling it in reality, but just watching. The main consequences of this mechanism are our ability to imitate and understand the other person. The first helps in development and learning, and the second is indispensable in communication with other people. Studies of empathy are segmental and not well coordinated. Existing works offer different types and typology of systems of empathy. Yet, bringing new insights into certain areas, they do not create an integral picture. What are the available types& Are they simple analytically different ways of consideration of one system or are they different neuro-biological systems? If they are different systems, what is the extent to which they are linked and whether they form integral super-system? This article tries to answer these questions.
Reinforcement learning in probabilistic environment and its role in human adaptive and maladaptive behavior
Authors: Kozunova G.L.
Published: March 2017

The article discusses human training in conditions of partly uncertain outcomes of his/her actions that models one of the mechanisms of adaptive behavior in natural environment. Basic learning mechanisms are studied in details through modelling conditional reflexes of animals in experiments, where a certain behavior is reinforced similarly, immediately and repeatedly. At the same time, neurophysiological foundations of learning opportunities in humans under conditions of irregular or delayed reinforcements, despite increased interest to them in recent years, remain poorly studied. Research of mental and neuropsychiatric disorders has made a significant contribution to the development of this problem. Thus, the specific changes in some aspects of learning with probabilistic reinforcement were found in patients with Parkinson's disease, Tourette's syndrome, schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety disorders. In particular, it is shown that susceptibility to positive and negative reinforcement can be violated independently. Taking into consideration the pathogenetic mechanisms of these conditions, it can be concluded that the key structure for this type of training is the cingulate cortex and orbto-frontal cortex involved in bilateral interaction with underlying structures of striatal system, the limbic system and cores of reticular formations of the brain stem.

ABSTRAK

 Berdasarkan hasil analisis data sekunder disimpulkan bahwa terkait fenomena strukturasi, Jakob Oetama menjadi the prime social agent dalam struktur KKG. Dalam konteks teori ekonomi poliTIK, terkait dengan struktur KKG, maka Jacob Oetama menjadi the prime social agent yang tetap dipertahankan dalam struktur KKG dengan gaya kepemimpinannya yang manajemen kolektif sehubungan ketidaksiapan para agen lainnya menerima suksesi. Berkaitan fenomena spasialisasi maka perkembangan TIK memiliki aspek positif dan negatif bagi media. Fenomena spasialisasi ini di sisi lain bisa pula menjadi indikasi bahwa the prime social agent dalam struktur KKG dalam sedikit hal yang relatif bersifat force major ternyata bisa juga terpengaruh oleh struktur eksternal (perkembangan TIK). Kebijakan spasialisasi melalui konvergensi media sekalipun masih rugi namun tetap dipertahankan para the prime social agent di dunia termasuk di struktur KKG karena dinilai dapat menguatkan posisi marketing mereka dan di masa mendatang diyakini semakin membaik. Namun optimisme tersebut bisa terganggu juga dengan munculnya fenomena spasialisasi yang muncul dari anggota masyarakat sejalan dengan perkembangan teknologi gadget seperti melalui pemunculan berbagai sistem operasi yang ada kini (I OS, Android OS atau Microsoft OS).

 

Abstract

Based on the analysis of secondary data concluded that the related phenomenon of structuration, Oetama become the prime social agent in KKG structure. In the context of the theory of political economy, associated with the structure of KKG, then Jacob Oetama become the prime social agent will be retained in the structure KKG in the style of leadership of collective management in respect of the unpreparedness of the other agent receives succession. This spatialization phenomenon, on the other hand, it could also be an indication that the prime social agent in KKG structure in terms of a relatively little force major nature it can also be affected by external structure (development of ICT). Spatialization policy through media convergence, though still a loss, but maintained the prime social agent in the world including KKG structure as assessed can strengthen their marketing position in the foreseeable future and is believed to be getting better. However, such optimism may be disturbed also by the emergence of the phenomenon of spatialization arising from members of the public in line with developments in technology gadgets such as through the appearance of a variety of operating systems that exist now (I OS, Android OS or Microsoft OS).

The Impact of Informal Education Programs on the Outof- School Syrian Refugee Children in Child-Family Centers (CFCs) in Jordan
Authors: Inkheili Rami
Published: March 2017

The significance of this paper lies in shedding lights on the importance of informal education programs as catch up programs to educate those who didn’t have the opportunity to be in schools for different reasons and bridge the gap between them and their peers in schools. Although the study will show how powerful this tool is, it is also worth mentioning that more efforts should be done to enroll those children in public schools and provide them with equal access to the formal education system. This study used pre and post tests that are designed upon the expected learning outcomes from the literacy and numeracy materials prepared by the technical team at Save the Children International. The designed materials, in order to be compliant with the advancement of students in the formal education system were based on the national learning outcomes set by the Ministry of Education in Jordan. The results of the study were excellent enough to show the positive impact of the program as 100 percent of the population scored the passing score in the posttest compared to the zero percent passing the pretest in both literacy and numeracy classes. On the other hand, the study also shows how deprived Syrian children are as a result of the bloody war that harvests not only their souls, but also their future. Finally, it is also worth mentioning that the study also speaks of the pressure on Jordan’s formal education system and the need to support the Ministry of Education meeting the urgent demands of all students nationwide.

The study aimed to identify the status of applying the principles of accountability in the public and private universities in Jordan. This was done by comparing between Yarmouk University and Jerash University from the perspective of the employees. The study sample consisted of 250 faculty members and one administrator at Yarmouk University and Jerash University. The questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. The study reached several conclusions, most notably of which include the presence of statistically significant differences in the reality of applying the accountability principles at universities in general, and in the administrative, and academic fields. This, however, is dependent on the variable of the university in favor of Jerash University. The study concluded on a number of recommendations most important of which is the necessity of activating the accountability mechanisms and tools in three areas: administrative, and academic areas of public universities in a higher degree. It also includes a commitment with unified criteria of accountability to ensure the maintenance of an acceptable level of justice and transparency.
Power of Automotive Supplier Cluster: The Case of BMW in South Carolina
Authors: Karayel Selcuk
Published: March 2017

The phenomenon of regional industrial concentration, or agglomerations, has been studied for more than a century. Over the past couple of decades, interest has dramatically doubled both from the aspects of academics and policy makers. However, the process of making a car requires more sophisticated and complex technology and an upper level of knowledge. The collaboration is indeed an inevitable tool. The agglomeration of the automotive industry in the upper Midwest of the US is one of the most prominent and persistent industrial clusters. Historically, automotive production in the US was dominated by the big three domestic manufacturers, namely: Ford, GM, and Chrysler. However, in the last 30 years, many foreign-owned manufacturers (e.g. Honda, BMW) have opened assembly lines in the South which is far away from the automotive industry center in Michigan (Rosenbaum, 2013). These assemblers were attracted to the South due to the lower rates of unionization and lower labor costs in those states. In this paper, the researcher focus on the competitiveness of this collaboration, if there is any, by using three star analysis and the strength of foreign trade capabilities by Vollrath Analysis.
Environmental Impact Assessment for Projects in the Nile Basin Countries
Authors: El Gohary Rasha , Armanious Sameh
Published: March 2017

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a key aspect of many large-scale planning applications. It is a technique which is meant to help in understanding the potential environmental impacts of major development proposals. Unfortunately, the process and the outcome of EIA can be complex and confusing, leaving local communities unsure as to how a development might affect them. The objective of this research is to provide a strategic environmental framework for the environmentally sustainable development of the Nile River Basin, to improve the understanding of the relationship between water resources development and environmental conservation in the Basin, and to provide a forum to discuss development paths for the Nile with a wide range of stakeholders. Focusing on transboundary issues provides the riparian countries with a major opportunity to make significant progress towards their economic and environmental goals in ways that have proved difficult to achieve independently. In addition, the paper analyzes some EIAs carried into Egypt, which share the Nile as a common environmental resource with the other Nile basin countries, and discusses how improvements of guidelines and unification of legislation can improve cooperation among these countries. Finally, the paper recommends an EIA process revision to be implemented for effective EIA practice in the Nile Basin Countries.

This study which has been held on the Roxy market of Adjamé took place from November 2013 to October 2014. It is a transversal study with descriptive and analytical aim whose objective is to proceed to the description of the organization of the circuit of the informal sale of drugs in Abidjan. This article describes the socio-demographic characteristics of street drugs vendors before examining drug pricing methods. Documentary research, direct observation and interviews with vendors were the main techniques used to gatherg information. Our investigations show that the sale of drugs at Roxy is done at 95% by Ivorian women in majority and for the most part illiterate. Pricing is highly dependent on the place of supply of drugs: drugs with a marketing authorization are more expensive on the illicit market than drugs which do not have marketing authorization. In the category of drug products with a marketing authorization: syrups, out-of-stock drugs products in pharmacy and drug the delivery of which asks for time of wait of at least a day in pharmacy is more expensive on the illicit market.

Authors: Mamud Yusuf Abubakar , Agyeno Oboshi J
Published: March 2017

The fight against terrorism has long relied on military intervention and hard power strategy to curb terror threats. Current reality and the spade at which youths who are radicalized under the banner of religion to carry out terrorist activities has called for more attention paid on alternative counterterrorism (CT) measures and policies. CT initiatives should be broadened to accommodate soft power approach that interrupts the radicalization and recruitment of civilians into violent extremism and terrorism. It is revealed that more terrorist actions and violent extremism had been undertaking by youths that professed the Islamic faith more than any in the 21st century. The worrisome trend has called the development of UMMAH as a CT strategy to understand the narratives and messaging exploited by recruiters and facilitators of violent extremism as a religious obligation. The strategy demands a counter narrative and messages that would replace the message of hate, violence and bigotry, with love, peace, tolerance and coexistence.

U savremenom francuskom jeziku ekonomičnost jezičkog izraza često se postižeizostavljanjem jednog ili više glasova, slogova ili reči unutar ritmičke grupe. Najčešće je rečo gubljenju „nepostojanog e”, koje potom dovodi do kombinatornih fonetskih promena glasova unovonastalom okruženju. Redukcija glasovnih nizova predstavlja jednu od osnovnih karakteristikasavremenog francuskog razgovornog jezika, što je potvrđeno nizom lingvističkih analiza. Mnogeprimere ovih supstandardnih jezičkih pojava moguće je uočiti analizirajući savremene francuskefilmove u kojima se često, upotrebom razgovornog jezika, nastoji dočarati neformalna govornasituacija. Za potrebe ovog rada odabrane su tri filmske scene koje verno ilustruju navedene karakteristikefrancuskog razgovornog jezika i koje mogu naći svoju pedagošku primenu u vidu autentičnihdokumenata u nastavi francuskog kao stranog jezika, u cilju razvijanja sposobnosti usmenograzumevanja francuskog razgovornog jezika.
