TRANSLATION SPECIFICITIES OF THE INNOVATIVE
CHINESE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL TERMS (ON
THE MATERIAL OF CHINESE, ENGLISH, GERMAN,
UKRAINIAN AND RUSSIAN)
Authors: Popova Oleksandra
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the translation specificities of rendering the innovative Chinese scientific and technical terms into English, German, Ukrainian and Russian. The tactical and strategic vectors determining the manifestation of scientific and technical discourse have been specified; the notions “terms”, “terminology”, “scientific and technical discourse” have been clarified. We associate terms with the exact linguistic designation of specialised concepts expressed by nouns, nominative, verbal and adverbial phrases. We identify terminology as an aggregate / set of terms that function within scientific, technical and other professional fields. Scientific and technical discourse is determined through the prism of its dual nature (linguistic and extralinguistic) as a discourse of science and technology, a scientifically-driven discourse, the extralinguistic background of which is associated with the prerequisites for launching innovative scientific (and technical) projects, alongside intrastate development and intergovernmental cooperation.
The linguistic features of the terms under study and the translation construct used while reproducing them from Chinese into English, German, Ukrainian and Russian have been characterised. We define the strategy of communicatively equivalent / equivalent translation as the leading one in terms of implementing the communicative intention of the author of the source (original) text in the target language. The article analyses translation tactics which can contribute to an adequate perception of a scientific message: the tactics of transferring cognitive information; the tactics of correct information layout (in accordance with the norms of the target language). The author specifies common translation transformations enabling adequate reproduction of innovative Chinese terms in Germanic and Slavonic languages: transliteration (transcription, transcoding), equivalent translation, analogue, loan translation, descriptive translation.

Multiple anthelmintic resistance at a goat farm in Slovakia
Authors: Babják M. , Königová A. , Várady M.
Published: June 2021

Cases of parasite resistance to the main classes of anthelmintics are increasingly reported from small ruminants at farms in Europe. We visited a goat farm in Slovakia in November 2019 with suspected parasite problems that reduced productivity and performed anin vivofaecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) and anin vitrolarval development test (LDT) for all three main classes of anthelmintics. The lowest efficacy (60 %) detected by FECRT was for ivermectin (IVM). Benzimidazole (BZ) efficacy ranged between 80.3 and 86.5 %, and levamisole (LEV) efficacy was 94 %. The results from thein vivoFECRT test were confirmed by thein vitroLDT. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) 173.6 ng/ml for IVM several times exceeded the recommended threshold of 21.6 ng/ml. Mean LD50for BZ was equal to the threshold concentration, but the other threshold criteria indicated a low level of resistance in the population. The LDT did not indicate the presence of resistance only for LEV. The MIC 1.0 μg/ml for LEV was evaluated as susceptible with respect to species composition.Teladorsagiawas the dominant genus after treatment with BZ, IVM, and LEV.Haemonchus contortuswas identifi ed after treatment with BZ and LEV.

Published: June 2021

Within the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it is stated that everyone has the right to an adequate standard of living, which ensures, as well as their family, health and well-being, and food, thereby ensuring adequate nutrition. One of the major threats to overcome this is to ensure food security, which becomes particularly challenging in developing countries due to the high incidence of parasitic diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO), considers it one of the main causes of morbidity, closely linked to poverty and related to inadequate personal hygiene, consumption of raw food, lack of sanitary services, limited access to drinking water and fecal contamination in the environment. It is estimated that more than a fifth of the world’s population is infected by one or several intestinal parasites, and that in many countries of Central and South America the average percentage of infected people is 45%, being Taenia solium, Echinococcus granulosus, Toxoplasma gondii, Cryptosporidium spp, Entamoeba histolytica, Trichinella spiralis, Ascaris spp, Trypanosoma cruzi and Fasciola hepatica some of the most important ones in the neotropics. One of the main reasons why these diseases are diffi cult to control is t he ignorance of their lifecycles, as well as symptoms and current epidemiology of the disease, which contributes to a late or erroneous diagnosis. The present work aims to discuss and make public the current knowledge as well as the general characteristics of these diseases to the general audience.
Stock mapping, size structure and biological parameters of the clam Polititapes aureus in the shellfish production area of the southern Tunisian waters (Central Mediterranean)
Authors: Derbali Abdelkarim , Jarboui Othman
Published: June 2021

The clam Polititapes aureus is one of the most abundant shellfish species in the southern Tunisian waters. Its current exploitation status and management are becoming a major concern for fishing industry in Tunisia. The significant ecological role of the species and possible future commercial benefits require a better knowledge of its stock. This research is the first attempt to investigate its current status in an area with the largest shellfish production. The obtained results showed a scattered distribution. The stock density ranged from 0 to 124 ind. m−2, and biomass values varied from 0 to 300 g m−2. This results in a remarkable biomass of 201.2 (± 64.6) t and high abundance reaching 91.3 ± 32.9 million individuals, estimated an area of 4182 ha. The species distribution was also investigated, with the size ranging from 4.9 to 35.34 mm. The overall sex ratio (F:M) was 1.26:1, which significantly deviated different from parity (1:1). The main environmental factors were identified and several abiotic parameters were found to strongly affect the spread of the clam species. The clam reproduce well and is expected to almost meet the domestic market demand through artisanal fishery.

Biological Communities as Economic Subjects
Authors: Kilyachkov N. A.
Published: June 2021

When the natural resource management is considered by means of economics, biological associations are only regarded as the source of resources and the object of ownership from the part of economic agents (households, firms or the state). Such approach does not allow studying certain types of situations, like interaction of an economic agent and a natural ecosystem, property rights over which are not well defined, and does not account for system attributes of the environment. This study proposes to consider biological associations (populations or ecosystems) as specific economic subjects. It is shown that these associations regularly face the choice between various alternative uses of scarce means, which constitutes economic choice by definition. Different levels of organization in nature and economy are compared. It is defined at which level biological associations can be regarded as the subjects of economic choice in a way analogous to economic agents. A term «agent of evolutionary process»is coined for such associations. The main similarities between economic and ecological systems are listed, namely: spontaneous character of processes, crucial role of internal factors, expansion as the main criterion of determining winners and losers, high number of agents. Key differences between the two types of systems are indicated, which are: much higher number of alternatives treated by the economic agents and higher speed of reaction of the economic agents to the changes in the environment. The conclusion is made that the models where ecosystems are regarded as acting subjects are possible and useful.
The Dynamics of Terminal and Instrumental Values of Education on the Example of MGIMO Students
Authors: Temnitskiy A. L.
Published: June 2021

Attitude towards derivable knowledge as a process of satisfaction of cognition needs and also as opportunity for developing flairs and making self-improvement can be called terminal. At the same time, the increase of pragmatism in society and in demands of employers for graduates doesn't stimulate students' interest in terminal values of education. Nowadays students become much more interested in receiving good marks and good exam results than in the matter of subject that they study; they become more attracted by an opportunity of having a good time in university and making helpful acquaintances than by a chance of making a professional self-determination. How spread is the instrumental students' attitude towards studying at the university? Is it possible that under the influence of this phenomenon the terminal values of education may be extruded? These and other questions are being examined on the base of materials of four recurrent sociological researches carried out among MGIMO students in 2001-2013. The main objects of analysis are the values of educational process, relations with fellow-students, essential qualities of lecturer's personality, ways of spending free time. It was found out that the terminal educational values predominate among MGIMO students. They study a lot, tensely and with enthusiasm, spending the modal part of time doing their homework, actively working on their self-improvement. It is revealed that intimate knowledge and self-improvement as 2 main terminal values in education assign multidirectional vectors towards different aspects of educational process.

Authors: Komarov A. S.
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to some of the teaching strategies based on the peculiarities of belles-lettres text. The author of the article analyses the peculiarities of the belles-lettres text which exert influence on the process of teaching reading skills and thus should be taken into account by foreign language teachers in their work with this type of text. The author argues that teaching belles-lettres reading skills should be centered on the five-level communication process between writer and reader. The teacher's aim is to create or adjust a system of reading instruction within the five levels so that he/she could improve students' reading skills. In the article, it is stated that the process of teaching reading skills should be congruent with the process of interpersonal communication between writer and reader. The author outlines the content of the teacher's approach to the work with this type of text within the process of foreign language instruction. The author describes two approaches to teaching belles-lettres reading skills as well as shows the prospects for the subjective approach. He also states high productivity and effectiveness of the subjective approach in teaching foreign languages.

The Concept of Greater Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok: Problems and Perspectives
Authors: Il’In E. Yu.
Published: June 2021

The following article deals with the formation and perspectives of the concept of Greater Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok, and the difficulties in the way of its realization. The author speaks about close historical and cultural ties connecting Russia and Europe, outward and mental resemblance of the peoples of Europe, including Russians.For the first time the theory of Greater Europe was considered in the works of geopoliticians of the beginning and the middle of the twentieth century. It is reflected in the plans to form a pan-European union, drawn by Charles De Gaulle and Michail Gorbachev. Analyzing the statements of modern Russian and European politicians one may come to the conclusion that both parties are mutually interested in the realization of the concept of Greater Europe. However, according to actual evidence, neither Russia, nor the European Union takes any decisive steps in getting closer. The article focuses on serious contradictions between Russia and the European Union on the basic principles underlying Greater Europe. The opposing views refer to the problems of equality in the sphere of strategic partnership, the energy dialogue and the construction of the post-Soviet territory. The author lays stress on the phenomenon of «integrations collision». The article also deals with the destabilizing role of the USA and some European states which actively promote the initiative of the «Eastern partnership». The Ukrainian crisis has become a major strength test in the relations between Russia and the European Union, which resulted in a vast credibility gap, the «war of sanctions», the disruption of business and political ties. Notwithstanding the complexity of the situation, calls for tightening up the connections between the European and Eurasian integration projects are becoming louder. This gives us hope that both parties will not only be able to keep historical ties, but also take steps in creating a common area from Lisbon to Vladivostok.

Philosophical Ideas of Arne Næss in the Humanitarian Diplomacy of Norway
Authors: Zubov M. G.
Published: June 2021

Næss A. became in his lifetime the most prominent Norwegian philosopher. Over thirty years of his life he taught at the University of Oslo and approximately the same number of years he devoted to pure science. During his long life as a scientist, he studied various fields of philosophy, however he is mostly known for his research in the field of deep ecology. The scale of his personality and prestige in Norwegian philosophy can only be compared to that of one of the most outstanding figure of Norway in politics - E.Gerhardsen. He united two of his basic interests - philosophy and ecology, and formulated eight principles, which in general terms characterise the notion of «deep ecology». These eight principles, according to philosopher, are based on the concept that every living being has his own value. The author of the arcticle makes it a point to show on separate examples to what extend the ideas of Næss A. are compatible with the basic principles of Norway's contemporary humanitarian diplomacy - humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence, - as well as with the aims put forward by Norway in this respect which are to encure the needed with the necessery security and assistance; to finance humanitarian actions based on the international principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence; to prepare international community to responses to global humanitarian challenges of the future; to prevent and respond to humanitarian crises and participate in eleminating their aftermath. Norway - one of the few countries in the world allocating 1 % of their GNP for the aims of the UN Millennium Programme - works actively in such directions of humanitarian diplomacy as combating climate change, protecting the environment, facilitating international cooperation in the field of development, peace-building and humanitarian assistance. Having assessed the potential ofapplicability of the principles of deep ecology in practical implementation of the humanitarian diplomacy of Norway, the author also tries to explain concisely by what material means such diplomacy is procured.
IMBALANCES IN THE INDIAN ECONOMY
Authors: Galistcheva N. V.
Published: June 2021

The main task of this research is the analysis of the key imbalances in the Indian economy, as well as their reasons and consequences. The article highlights the main directions of the Indian government’s policy in the 1990–2000s aiming to overcome these imbalances. The author focuses on the imbalances in the financial, real and external economic sectors of the Indian economy and underlines features of using labour, financial, scientific and technical resources, which are necessary for its successful development. The article underlines contradictory conditions of the present economic development in India and coexistence of the capitalist and pre-capitalistic ways of production (the small-scale industry), including the cottage industries, in the Indian real sector. At the same time the contemporary economic policy of the Indian government doesn’t aim at the elimination of the pre-capitalistic way of production but at the large-scale business’ activity restrictions in the sphere of the small-scale industry. This policy aims at the creation of favorable economic conditions for the small-scale industry. The author notes the main problems of the social sector of the Indian economy and in the human resources development and points out in the sphere of education the unresolved problems connected with equality of educational opportunities and availability of secondary and higher education for the considerable strata of the Indian population and also with deterioration of academic standards etc. The article also presents statistical data on the present state of the Indian external debt, fiscal deficit, the foreign exchange reserves as well as the dynamics of the Indian external trade, foreign direct investments’ inflow and remittances of the Indian diasporas.
On Some Issues of Post-War World Order (speech at the annual meeting of the russian historical society on september 9, 2015)
Authors: Torkunov A. V.
Published: June 2021

Abstract: 70th anniversary of our victory in the Great Patriotic War and large-scale national and international events marking the end of the Second World War caused an unprecedented wave of interest in the history of the war and the problems of post-war world order. There are new estimates of the war differing from previous interpretations of events, many of which, apparently, are connected with the political situation. In this regard, I would like to focus on two important issues that seem to me to be underestimated nowadays - institutional component of the postwar world, and the specifics of the Asia-Pacific order at the end of the war.
Türkiye’de Çevre Politikaları: Kalkınma Planları Üzerinden Bir İnceleme
Authors: HAMZA ÇELİKYAY Hicran
Published: June 2021

Bu çalışmanın amacı, kalkınma planlarında yer alan çevre politikalarının çevre ana stratejileri, problemlerin teşhisi, müdahale yöntemleri ve kararların uygulanması yönüyle değerlendirilmesidir. Çalışmada, kalkınma planları hazırlandıkları dönem ve taşıdıkları belirgin özellikler göz önüne alınarak üç ana gruba ayrılmıştır. İlk gruba ilk beş kalkınma planı, ikinci gruba altı, yedi ve sekizinci kalkınma planları, son gruba ise dokuz, on ve on birinci kalkınma planlarını dahil edilmiştir. Çevre politikaları, politika uygulama aşamaları olan “problemlerinin teşhis edilmesi”, “müdahale yöntemlerinin incelenmesi” ve “kararların uygulanması” bağlamında incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, çevre politikalarının planların yayınlandığı dönemlerin şartları ve özelliklerini yansıttıkları, çevre problemlerinin tanımlanması ve çözüm yaklaşımlarının yeterli açıklık ve kararlılıkla planlarda yer aldığı ve politikaların uygulama aşamalarında önemli paradigma değişimlerinin olduğu görülmüştür. Türkiye, çevre sorunlarının farkında olarak değişen dünya dengeleri, uluslararası çevre politikaları ve ülke kalkınma hedefleriyle uyumlu politikalar geliştirmiş, gerektiğinde politika yaklaşımlarını değiştirmekten kaçınmamıştır. Ancak, ardışık dönemlerde yayınlanan bir kısım planlarda bazı çevre sorunlarının aynı haliyle yer aldığı ve çözüm önerilerinin tekrarlandığı görülmüştür. Bu durum, politikaların uygulama aşamalarında beklenilen sonucun alınamadığı yönünde değerlendirilmiştir. Eksik ve kısıtlı yönlerin yanı sıra başarı ile uygulanmış alanların ortaya konulması için politikaların son uygulama aşaması olan “belirlenen politikaların karar mekanizmaları içinde uygulanmasının” takip edilmesi önerilmektedir.

Published: June 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on higher education across the world. In this paper we consider how textile education has been impacted and what approaches have been employed to maintain quality education and laboratory experience when traditional methods are not appropriate. This paper considers three different countries – United States, South Africa and Germany. Each has been affected in a different way, has a different sociological makeup, and has developed distinct solutions to the challenge. Methods related to HyFlex, flipped classrooms, and blending learning have been applied by all three institutions. Lectures have been presented as pre-recorded videos, synchronous video conferencing, and hybrid. Similarly, laboratory and studio experiences have been handled through pre-recorded video, guided “at home” experiments, and modified in-person experiences. This paper gives an overview of the laboratory and studio experiences, time spent in preparation, and reaction of the students to remedies. It also addresses best practices from each country in the three continents.

Rapid deactivation presently limits a wide spread use of high-temperature solid oxide cells (SOCs) as otherwise highly efficient chemical energy converters. With deactivation triggered by the ongoing conversion reactions, an atomic-scale understanding of the active triple-phase boundary (TPB) between electrolyte, electrode and gas phase is essential to increase cell performance. Here we use a multi-method approach comprising transmission electron microscopy and first-principles calculations and molecular simulations to untangle the atomic arrangement of the prototypical SOC interface between a lanthanum strontium manganite (LSM) anode and an yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte. We identify an interlayer of self-limited width with partial amorphization and strong compositional gradient, thus exhibiting the characteristics of a complexion that is stabilized by the confinement between two bulk phases. This offers a new perspective to understand the function of SOCs at the atomic scale. Moreover, it opens up a hitherto unrealized design space to tune the conversion efficiency.
Molecular characterization of oral bacteria isolated from human saliva
Authors: Sharee Leong  , Shamala Marimuthu
Published: June 2021

Periodontitis is an inflammation of gums and bones that supporting the teeth which caused by Staphylococcus intermedius. The saliva from a patient of periodontitis or suspect to periodontitis will have higher levels of Staphylococcus intermedius. Hence, human saliva is clinically informative in diagnosing oral disease and the oral health of an individual. In this study, oral bacteria in human saliva were identified using 16S ribosomal RNA. 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes from the isolated colonies were amplified through the colony Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method. 16S rRNA genes were used to determine species identity by sequencing and generating the phylogenetic tree. The results showed that Streptococcus sp. and Staphylococcus sp. were the most prevalent oral bacteria found from all the saliva samples, while Lactobacillus sp. was found from two samples. From the constructed phylogenetic trees, bacteria strains B1 and B2 clustered with the Staphylococcus sp. database. Bacteria strains B9 and B10 were categorized as Streptococcus sp. as the confidential level between Streptococcus sp. database is 100% in Neighbour-Joining tree. Sample B15 and B16 clustered with Lactobacillus  sp. database. Oral bacteria species typically associated with periodontitis was detected in all saliva samples. Therefore, it is important to fully understand the nature of the oral bacteria before further research on drug design and administration of oral treatment is executed.
Os relegados da cidade e os trilhos da segregação
Authors: Costa Pedro da
Published: June 2021

A expulsão de habitantes “indesejados” das áreas valorizadas é fenômeno recorrente nas grandes cidades, e as atuais dinâmicas de transformação urbana acentuam esses afastamentos, incrementando formas contemporâneas de segregação. As remoções habitacionais ganham maior dramaticidade em locais fraturados socialmente, sobretudo na periferia global. Assim, a violência exercida contra famílias pobres despiu uma outra face, nada eufórica, da realização da Copa do Mundo de 2014. Para dar lugar a diferentes obras urbanas, milhares de pessoas sofreram com despejos e deslocamentos residenciais – forçados e induzidos. O silenciamento dessas pessoas e as demais violações ilustram o desenrolar da produção da subalternidade na sociedade brasileira, por meio de seletiva distribuição dos bens públicos e dos direitos de cidadania, resultando na deterioração das condições de vida de ampla camada de indivíduos. Este livro trata especificamente das experiências de remoções nas “comunidades do trilho”, em Fortaleza, ocorridas ao longo da implantação de um Veículo Leve sobre Trilhos (VLT), obra inserida no pacote de intervenções urbanas relacionadas ao megaevento. A reconstrução histórico-sociológica desse processo é feita a partir da narrativa de pessoas diretamente atingidas pelas obras. Na análise, considera-se o grande negócio que se tornara a transformação de cidades, atravessada por dinâmicas de construção/destruição de paisagens, algo muito presente na capital do Ceará nas últimas décadas.

To improve the motivation of employees' stress is necessary. The organization puts pressure on the employee to complete the task with the deadline. Once, employee satisfaction increased. Too much stress makes things more difficult for the organization. This study will examine the relationship between stress and job satisfaction. The sample for this study is 79 among lecturers from the engineering and non-engineering departments in Politeknik Tuanku Sultanah Bahiyah, Kedah. The result shows that the lecturers is less stressed, and it is good to motivate to complete the given task. Furthermore, the findings suggest that are more satisfied at work. Correlation results indicate that there is an adverse sign of stress and job satisfaction. It shows that the lecturers has better job satisfaction when pressure is lower.
'Sado' - A novel and Expressions of creativity and rhetorical allience: Ni-Vanuatu women's voices
Authors:   , Nyman Mikaela
Published: June 2021

This PhD thesis in creative writing explores women’s marginalised or
under-represented public voices in Vanuatu, focusing on literary
writing. The thesis is in two parts and uses the dual lenses of fiction
and critical thinking to explore the factors that define women’s
realities and circumscribe the avenues for their voices to be heard and
for their creative work to be published. The creative component is the
main research element and consists of a novel, Sado,set in Vanuatu. The
critical component addresses the invisibility of Ni-Vanuatu women
writers and the ways in which they have attempted to overcome and
challenge existing social and traditional power structures that silence
women. The critical enquiry includes oral history interviews with three
generations of Ni-Vanuatu women writers. This thesis is practice-led and
uses an applied research approach, rather than a theoretical approach.
The novel dramatises and articulates the moral and ethical
dilemmas,regarding women’s place in society and the challenges posed by
customary traditions rooted in a specific place for an increasingly
mobile and urban population. The ethos guiding this project is to hold
the space for Ni-Vanuatu women writers to tell their own stories.The
thesis sits within the inter-disciplinary frameworks of Pacific Studies
and Cultural Studies. It draws on Pacific literature and uses feminist
theory and methodology,in combination with articulation and oral history
methods,to examine the enabling and constraining factors, the actions,
motivation and themes of three generations of Ni-Vanuatu writers,
established and emerging, and the alliances they are attempting to
forge. The thesis finds, firstly, that gendered norms, certain policies
and aspects of customary traditions that use the male position as a
default have contributed to limiting the public space for Ni-Vanuatu
women’s voices to be heard and given due recognition. It furthermore
finds that colonial language policies, particularly in education, have
contributed to a reluctance to consider Bislama an appropriate literary
vehicle. Finally,literary efforts in Vanuatu continue to be hampered by
the absence of a community of writers, supportive institutions,
publishing outlets, editorial support and a lack of finance for
self-publishing work in printed form. An exploration of the significance
of the poetry and non-fiction of two published Ni-Vanuatu writers,
Grace Mera Molisa and Mildred Sope, anchors this research project
historically. A creative writing workshop and oral history conversations
constitute an extension of my research methodology into decolonising
methods of research embedded in indigenous knowledge and local context.
They likewise provide a generative and more collaborative form of
meaning-making. In the spirit of Lisa King’s ideas on rhetorical
sovereignty and rhetorical alliance, I explore various opportunities to
generate more published writing from Vanuatu in collaboration with
Ni-Vanuatu writers.

Banks need to conduct evaluation activities to find out the current situation of the bank so that the health of the bank is not disturbed. Banking health is very important to be maintained because banks play an important role in society, especially as increasing the country's economic growth. This study aims to examine the effect of risk based bank rating on financial distress. The risk-based bank rating ratio consists of risk profiles that are proxied by NPL and LDR, good corporate governance which is proxied by the size of the board of directors and independent commissioners, earnings proxied by ROA, ROE, BOPO, and NIM, and capital proxied by CAR. The yardstick used in this research is the bankometer model. The research year is 6 years from 2013-2018. The population used in this study were all non-foreign exchange bank, amounting to 30. The sample was determined using purposive sampling so that 20 non-foreign exchange bank were found with data analysis techniques using logistic regression. Research data search using SPSS 25. The results of the study found the influence of LDR, the size of the board of directors, NIM, and CAR. LDR ratio has a significant negatif effect, board size has a significant positive effect, NIM has a significant negatif effect, and CAR has a significant negatif effect on financial distress. This because that fourth variable had important thing on liquidity, independent oversight, interest income, and capital adequacy. Whereas NPL, independent commissioners, ROA, ROE, and BOPO do not affect financial distress. This because the value of each variable already appropriate with Bank Indonesia determination and it summed up that Non-Foreign Exchange Bank already apply it well. This shows that risk based bank rating can be a parameter of bank health.

In Indonesia, one of the common problems encountered by many English teachers during the process of teaching and learning in the classroom is students’ unwillingness to communicate using English. Having learners who are willing to communicate using English in class is essential in a language classroom that following the communicative approach (Riasati, 2012). This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions towards willingness to communicate using English in the classroom. It employs a quantitative approach, survey research design. To know the students’ willingness to communicate using English, a well-known FLCAS (Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale) developed by Horwitz, E.K., Horwitz, and M. B., Cope J. (1986) was adapted. 115 students of SMK Negeri 10 Malang participated as the respondents. Based on the findings, it is concluded that tenth and eleventh grade students at SMK Negeri 10 Malang have a positive opinion towards willingness to communicate using English in the classroom. They stated that learning and communicating using English is essential and beneficial. However, their willingness to communicate using English itself is quite low and it is quite a serious problem.

Published: June 2021

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the horizontal stress evolution and soil collapse during the cement dissolution process using a combination of experimental and numerical methods. The experimental procedure was carried out using a modified oedometer cell with horizontal stress measurements and synthetic samples in order to simulate simultaneous cement dissolution, stress changes and sample deformation. The samples were loaded at a constant vertical stress and exposed to a reactive fluid which dissolved the cementation of the artificial soil. During the dissolution process, sample volume decreased and horizontal stress changes were observed. Initially the horizontal stress decreased due to grain mass loss and then increased due to solid matrix rearrangement. Numerical simulation of these coupled chemical and mechanical processes was performed using a general purpose finite element code capable of performing numerical analysis of engineering problems. The constitutive model adopted to reproduce the soil behavior is an extension of the Barcelona Basic Model for unsaturated soils including the cement mineral concentration as state variable. Some new features were incorporated to the original elasto-plastic model in order to represent the results observed in the experiments. In this paper a good agreement between experimental and numerical results was achieved.
