Building Trust Bridges: Mediating Role of Trust in Social Undermining's Impact on Job Crafting in Blue- and White-Collar Workforces
Authors: GÜNER KİBAROĞLU Gamze , TOSUN Burcu
Published: September 2023

This study aims to examine the impact of social undermining on job crafting, which is considered indispensable for the survival of organizations within dynamic and changing environmental conditions, and to investigate the role of organizational trust in this effect. Moreover, the investigation delves into potential differentials in the influence of these factors upon blue- and white-collar personnel. Empirical data were collected from a cohort of 416 individuals encompassing blue and white-collar designations, employed across the upper echelon of Turkey's civil aviation sector, comprised of the country's top five companies. The dataset underwent scrutiny through the utilization of Smart PLS 4 and IBM SPSS 26 for analytical purposes. The results discern that organizational trust assumes a mediational role in the relationship between social undermining and job crafting. The mediation effect displays a partial manifestation among blue-collar staff, while a complete mediation effect manifests among their white-collar counterparts. Beyond its primary findings, this study augments scholarly understanding of the repercussions stemming from negative and deviant conduct in relation to job crafting and organizational trust. Moreover, it enriches the existing literature concerning the influence of social undermining on job crafting and organizational trust within the realms of blue- and white-collar employees.

Acceptance of technology by parent fraternity as a means of remote learning for children: An empirical study
Authors: V K Gokuladas , Manickam Sivakumar
Published: September 2023

The main purpose of this empirical study is to understand how acceptance of technology is prevailing among the parent fraternity that helps them to develop a positive attitude towards using technology as a tool to enhance their ward’s learning process. A survey among 6361 parents (Indian origin) of primary school students (Kindergarten and primary level) regarding their perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use regarding technology-assisted learning for their wards to understand how these factors influence their attitude towards technology for learning in the future was carried out through an online questionnaire.  The result showed that the more parents found the Usage of Technology towards the e-learning process of their wards, the higher they tend to adopt the technology by exhibiting a positive Attitude towards Technology while the perception of Ease of Use of Technology also significantly predicted the perception of Attitude towards Technology.  The favourable Attitude towards Technology is more visible among the parents of students who are of lower levels of study as compared to those who are at a slightly higher level of study.  It is found that the parents of the student from the rural area schools possessed positive Attitudes towards Technology as compared to their counterparts in the urban areas. The outcome of this study is of greater relevance to the schools especially in the lower level classes to help students to harness technology from a young age because the parent fraternity is already in favour of such initiative.

Authors: Lasisi TJ , Adisa AO , Okengwu CN
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Jaw swellings are common presenting cases at oral diagnosis clinics of which inflammatory causes are important. However, these cases are usually under-represented in histologically diagnosed jaw swellings. The aim of this study was to review the clinico-pathologic features of clinically diagnosed cases of inflammatory jaw swellings that presented in our hospital within 10 years.Methods: Data on age, gender, clinical diagnosis and site distribution were analyzed descriptively using frequencies, ranges and means ± SD. Variables were compared using Chi square and ANOVA tests as appropriate. Level of significance was set at p < 5%.Results: Inflammatory jaw swellings were seen in 568 males and 708 females, commoner in adults (18 years and above) constituting 82.3%.The mean age of occurrence was 34.2 ± 18.9 years while the peak age of occurrence was 20-29 years. Mandibular swellings constituted 66.7% of the cases while the left side of the mandible was most commonly affected constituting 32.1%. Dentoalveolar abscess was the most commonly diagnosed inflammatory jaw swelling constituting 37.1%, followed by pericoronitis (28.6%). Maxillary swellings were commoner in males while mandibular lesions were commoner in females (p < 0.001).Conclusions: From this review, inflammatory jaw swellings were commoner in females and adults, with dentoalveolar abscess as the most common clinically diagnosed condition.
Dermatofibrosarcoma Protruberans A Locally Aggressive And Recurent Malignant Tumour Of The Skin: Review And Case Report
Authors: Malumani Malan , Quan Song Ji , Jianbo Wu , Si Jiang , Musa Gerald
Published: September 2023

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is uncommon but represents one of the most common dermal sarcomas, which is said to be a locally aggressive, low grade, and relatively uncommon cutaneous tumour, which has a high propensity for local relapse with low metastatic potential. Over 90% DFSPs are genetically characterized by chromosomal rearrangements (translocation t (17;22) (q22; q13), resulting in the collagen type-1 alpha 1 (COL1A1)-platelet-derived growth factor â (PDGFB) fusion gene with well-known risk factors for developing DFSP, some cases develop at the site of previous trauma and reports have included a burn scar and the site of vaccination.The mainstay mode of treatment of DFSPs is wide local excision with traditionally 3-cm gross margins excision surgery. Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) is highly recommended surgery for DFSP and is very useful treatment choice for recurrent DFSP.This case report discusses two patients with confirmed DFSP and have received adequate therapy. It also reviews salient features of evaluation and prompt management of DFSP and much emphasis on long-term follow-up of patients.Key Messages:Early diagnosis of pediatric DFSP is critical to minimize surgical disfiguration. We emphasize early evaluation of any suspicious skin lesion should not be ignored and should be excised and sent for histopathology. Undertreating a DFSP is even more problematic, as the tumour is locally destructive, can metastasize, and can prove fatal without treatment. A full metastatic workup should be done and patient should be regularly followed up, if it turns out to be malignant.

Authors: Abraham Z.S. , Kahinga A.A , Swai H. , Massawe E.R
Published: September 2023

Head and neck malignant neoplasms are reported to be the tenth most common cancer globally. They are associated with potential morbidity and mortality because of their tendency to interfere with vital functions of life such as breathing, swallowing, speech, hearing, vision, taste and smelling. Contrary to what was seen in the past where infectious diseases were the leading causes of paediatric morbidity and mortality, non-infectious diseases for example head and neck cancers are now spearheading the morbidity and mortality observed in paediatric population in Africa. This review aims at discussing the clinico-histocytopathological profile of various paediatric head and neck malignant neoplasms in different countries across the World.

Authors: Kamvuma Kingsley M. , Kowa F Sumbukeni , Kaile Trevor , Masenga Sepiso K. , Hamooya Benson M. , Musalula Sinkala , Simakando Marah
Published: September 2023

Background: The immune system of patients with haematological malignancies is suppressed during chemotherapy. This renders them vulnerable to frequent infections especially of the bacterial type. Timely diagnosis of these infections is difficult, because a severe infection may be asymptomatic or manifest only in the form of fever or malaise. There is need for laboratory markers that can detect an infectious process at an early stage. This study was aimed at determining the value of using Procalcitonin (PCT) and C reactive protein (CRP), for early diagnosis of infection in patients with haematological malignancies receiving chemotherapy.

Methods: This was a cross sectional study consisting of sixty eight (68) patients with haematological malignancies. Data from each participant including sex, age, clinical and laboratory data were collected after obtaining informed consent. Blood specimens were then collected for measurement of PCT, CRP and bacteriological analysis. Patients were divided into two groups; those with a culture positive and negative result. PCT and CRP concentrations were compared between groups using t-test and nonparametric statistical tests respectively. The area under ROC curve, sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio, and Spearman's correlation coefficient were also calculated.

Results: Atotal of 14 (20.6%) microorganisms were isolated, of which 10 were gram-positive bacteria and 4 were gram-negative bacilli. The mean values of PCT which were 6.1ng/mL in the bacteraemia group and 5.1ng/mL in the non-bacteraemia group, p=0.023 and median CRP values were 24.2 (6.43- 48.15) in the bacteraemia and 23.5 (6.03-75.44) in the non-bacteraemia group, p=0.832. The area under curves was 0.52 (95% CI=0.57-0.84) for CRP and 0.70 (95% CI=0.35-0.69) for PCT. PCT value of greater than 4.7 ng/mL is diagnostic for infections (sensitivity 86%, specificity 54%) while that of CRP was 21mg/mL with the sensitivity and specificity of 64% and 44% respectively. Elevated levels of PCT as well as fever were significantly associated with bacteraemia.

Conclusion: PCT was a more reliable and sensitive marker of bacteraemia among patients with  haematological malignancies receiving chemotherapy than CRP.

Published: September 2023

Background: Orofacial cancers remain a significant health burden globally, especially in the developing countries where the incidence is higher and appears to be increasing. This study aims to document the pattern, management and survivorship of patients with orofacial cancers as seen at a tertiary healthcare facilityin Nigeria.

Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients who presented at our centre with orofacial cancers in the period between January 2010 and December. Patients' demographics, location of lesion, histopathological diagnosis, treatment given and follow-up events were extracted from the records. Patient with insufficient data for analysis were excluded. Data was analysed using IBM SPSS version 21.

Results: 21,090 patients were seen during the study period and 228 of the 1,029 biopsies done were malignant. The study included 213 patients (121 males and 92 females. mean age 48.2 years) with orofacial cancers. The commonest sites were the jaws (48.8%), palate (13.1%) and the tongue (7.5%).Carcinomas constituted 71.8% and were the commonest malignancies. All patients presented in stages III (34.6%) or IV (65.4%). 39.4% of patients  had no treatment instituted and surgery alone (21.9%) was the commonest treatment provided. The mean interval between treatment and recurrence was 3.0 months while mean expiration period was 13.5 months.

Conclusion: Treatment conferred a higher probability of survival. Patients treated with surgery (and radiotherapy/chemotherapy) survived better than those treated non-aggressively. In general, about a third (30.8%) of orofacial cancer patients were alive at 5 years post presentation and about 50% of these survivors were living with the disease.
Risk of incarceration of inguinal hernias among paediatric patients awaiting elective surgery at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia
Authors: Mulenga M. , Bvulani B. , Munkonge L.
Published: September 2023

Background: This study was conducted to determine our own institutional rate and risk of inguinal hernia incarceration among infants and children awaiting elective surgery. Inguinal hernias in infants and children are very common. One of their common complications before surgery is incarceration. Rate and risk ofincarceration among our patients awaiting surgical care was not known.

Method: A retrospective review of infants and children under the age of 17 years, who had undergone inguinal hernia repair or had incarcerated, from January 2015 to January 2017 was performed. Interviewer completed questionnaires were used to abstract data from the clinical records. A total of 364 patients were includedfor analysis, in this study. Descriptive statistics, Regression Analysis and Kaplan Meiers Survival Analysis were employed.

Results: The infants and children were stratified into seven age groups. The overall incarceration rate was 13.45%. The risk of incarceration was age  dependent. It ranged from 0.52 daily risk of incarceration, among neonates, to zero daily risk of incarceration among older children. Longer wait times were associated with increased rate and risk of inguinal hernia incarceration.

Conclusion: The overall rate of incarceration was high (13.45%). Longer wait times, infants and younger children, male sex, right sided hernias were associated with unacceptably higher rates & risks. Neonates had as much as 5 times higher risk of incarceration than other children. The best time to operate is before 3 weeks for neonates, before 2 months for infants & before 4 months for younger children to prevent incarceration.

Trends of Health and Dietary Disparities by Economic Status among Elderly Individuals in Japan from 2004 to 2014: A Repeated Cross-Sectional Survey
Authors: Machida Daisuke
Published: September 2023

This study examines the changes in health and dietary disparities by economic status among elderly individuals in Japan from 2004 to 2014. The study design utilized a repeated cross-sectional approach, using data from the Survey of Attitudes among the Elderly toward Daily Life in 2004 and 2014. Logistic regression analysis was performed with subjective economic status, survey year, and their interactions as independent variables, and self-rated health, dietary satisfaction, and intake of balanced meals as dependent variables. The results revealed that disparities in self-rated health, dietary satisfaction, and intake of a balanced meal were present due to economic status. Furthermore, the disparities in self-rated health, dietary satisfaction, and balanced meal intake by economic status remained unchanged from 2004 to 2014 (P for interaction ≥ 0.05). The findings were consistent in sensitivity analyses conducted on those aged 75 and older, as well as on long-term care insurance recipients.
From Benefits to Value(s): Biogas Systems Valuation Practices from a Swedish Regional Perspective
Authors: Brett Nancy
Published: September 2023

Local and regional contexts are essential spaces to promote sustainable energy transitions. Within this space, biogas production and use are one choice considered part of a regional sustainable transition. The valuation of different options has become a recurrent and vital activity in connection with strategic energy decisions in the public sector. However, capturing the diverse benefits of biogas is challenging. This study scrutinises the socially and politically bounded practice that (re)produces value(s) by examining the valuation practices related to biogas performed by regional and national actors in Sweden. It finds that although the valuation practice has a degree of formality, it still reflects local needs and specific contexts. A wide range of benefits undergoes a translation process to produce value(s) using qualitative and quantitative rationalities. Still, there is tension between the desire to prioritise quantitative methods while at the same time acknowledging that some benefits are too difficult to quantify. This paper contributes to the literature on the valuation of non-market objects by highlighting the connections between established scientific and economic procedures and performative processes and the importance of rejecting a binary view of quantification and qualification.

Authors: ATIEKU Joel Nunana , SEGBEFIA Samuel Kwabla , GYAMPOH Alexander Obiri
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the study was to compare the level of understanding of students taught using audio-visual and those taught without using audio visual. The study employed quasi-experimental design. The study also revealed that the treatment group's students comprehended the material being taught to them. Students in the treatment group were able to give the right answers, give examples to back their responses, and only share their experiences if they were relevant to the answer, they gave during the evaluation of what they had been taught. The control group could not have been compared to this. The study also revealed that, in contrast to those in the control group, students in the treatment group were engaged and eager to take part in group projects and demonstrations throughout class. Students in the treatment group showed greater interest in class, but those in the control group were uninterested and passive. Finally, the test scores of the treatment group children were much better than those of the control group.
Asymptotic behaviour of the Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs system in a Bianchi type I model
Authors: Nguelemo Kenfack Abel , Djiofack Francis Etienne , Dongo David , Etoua Remy Magloire
Published: September 2023

We study the Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs (EYMH) system with a positive cosmological constant in the Bianchi type I space-time with locally rotational symmetry (LRS). In particular, we consider the nonlinear interaction of the Higgs field with the Yang-Mills field coupled to an unknown gravitational field. For the considered model, from certain additional conditions (the temporal gauge and some symmetries), we derive the conservation laws for the field equations and we then deduce the exact formulation of equations in the geometric framework. Furthermore, using an iterative approch and some mathematical analysis tools, we study the above system of equations. We then establish a global existence result for the homogeneous solution and we analyse its asymptotic behaviour.
Emily Is an Egg: An Example of a Narrative Analysis Approach to Identifying the Antecedents of Critical Language Teacher Cognition
Authors:   University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Leal Priscila
Published: September 2023

This article presents a theoretically grounded methodological approach to investigate the interplay between language teacher cognition and critical language teacher identity development. To answer the question as to what social, cultural, historical, and political aspects lead teachers to position themselves as language teachers for social justice, positioning analysis (Bamberg, 1997) is used to identify the antecedents of a critical language teacher’s cognition in discourses vis-a-vis their development of critical consciousness. Positioning analysis can help us better understand critical language teacher cognition, their processes of becoming critical language teachers, and their development of critical language teacher identity and social positionings because it comprises not only the analysis of the content of a narrative, but also the interaction, as well as the social, cultural, political, and economic context in which such a narrative is constructed. To account for the long-term aspects of critical language teacher cognition, the analysis focuses on the narratives from the period before formal teacher training and how teachers position themselves and others within the story world, the storytelling world, and amidst dominant discourses. Followed by its report, I address a key pedagogical implication for the development of critical language teachers.
Dialogic Restorying: A Novel Methodology for Provoking Second Language Teacher Development Across the Career Span
Authors:   The Pennsylvania State University, USA, Ricker Jacob , Johnson Karen E. ,   The Pennsylvania State University, USA
Published: September 2023

Grounded in Vygotskian sociocultural theory, we propose a novel methodology for second language teacher cognition research called dialogic restorying. We exemplify this methodological innovation by presenting a qualitative longitudinal project in which we prompted L2 teachers to revisit and restory what Veresov (2017) calls “dramatic moments” extracted from reflections they wrote throughout their learning-to-teach experiences in a 2-year MA TESL program (see Johnson, Verity, & Childs, 2020; 2023). These practicing teachers engaged in dialogic restorying with the interviewer by reflecting on the importance of these dramatic moments and their continuing influence on how they orient to teaching in their current instructional contexts two to three years after graduation. Mutual engagement in dialogic restorying not only allowed access into these L2 teachers’ perceptions of the significance of their learning-to-teach experiences but also opened up the potential for these interviews to be meaningful encounters that continued to have developmental value for the teacher-participants. We contend that dialogic restorying yields important longitudinal insights into L2 teachers’ developmental trajectories while also bringing to the surface the importance of recognizing the mediational influence that research methodology can, and from our perspective, should have on participants in investigations of L2 teacher development across the career span.

Authors:   Tarbiat Modares University, Iran, Tajeddin Zia , Biri Aso ,   Tarbiat Modares University, Iran, Allami Hamid ,   Tarbiat Modares University, Iran
Published: September 2023

Pedagogical reasoning, as one of the major components of teacher knowledge base, is crucially important in teacher education. Motivated by the dearth of research in this area, this study investigated the pedagogical reasoning of four novice language teachers in relation to speaking instruction in order to further our understanding of language teacher cognition. For this purpose, a qualitative approach was adopted and classroom observations and post-observation stimulated recall interviews were conducted over a period of eight months. The analysis of the data related to pedagogical reasoning episodes and reasoning complexity indicated that novice teachers employed varied pedagogical arguments for different aspects of teaching speaking to justify their pedagogical decisions, which included instruction-based, students-based, teacher-based, and context-based arguments. The findings also pointed to the developmental changes in terms of the complexity and comprehensiveness of novice teachers’ pedagogical reasoning. Although they initially tended to focus primarily on the subject matter and instructional activities, their reasoning gradually expanded to include students’ cognitive and affective characteristics. The findings of this study contribute to the research on the teacher knowledge base and cognition. Having a clear understanding of novice teachers’ pedagogical reasoning and how they utilize it to explain their classroom practices provides us with valuable insights into the process of learning to teach.

Authors:   Kharazmi University, Ziaabadi Fariba , Karimi Mohammad N. ,   Kharazmi University, Hashemi Mohammad R. ,   Kharazmi University
Published: September 2023

Despite English teachers’ acknowledgement of the plurality of English and the emergence of different varieties of the language, the actual manifestations of this plurality and the associated principles do not seem to be equally embraced in their classroom approach. Against this background, this study investigated Iranian English teachers’ conceptions of English as an International Language (EIL) and their corresponding instructional practices through semi-structured interviews and non-participant classroom observations. Drawing upon the theory of planned behavior (TPB), as the theoretical/analytical framework, the researchers explored the participant teachers’ behavioral, normative, and control beliefs underlying their intentions and actual classroom practices with regard to EIL. Findings revealed that although the teachers acknowledged the importance of raising learners’ awareness of EIL in different aspects of their language use, they still leaned towards standard American or British English in their actual instructional practices. Such propensity was informed by their attitudes toward the inclusion of EIL principles, their perceptions of the existing social pressures, and their perceived difficulty of adopting an EIL-aware pedagogy. Moreover, the participant teachers’ actual classroom instructions were found to be incongruent with their beliefs about the importance of raising students’ awareness regarding different English varieties. Implications for language teacher education are discussed.

The objective of the study was to determine the attractiveness and palatability of feather hydrolysate for juvenile Nile tilapia. Twelve Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings with an average weight of 9.63 ± 0.9 g were used, distributed in 12 aquariums with a useful volume of 20 liters. Six diets were formulated, as follows: T0: Control, T1: 1% feather hydrolysate, T2: 2% feather hydrolysate, T3: 3% feather hydrolysate, T4: 4% feather hydrolysate and T5: 5% feather hydrolysate. The fish went through an adaptation period to record their feeding behavior in which they were fed twice a day, for six days, with 20 pellets per aquarium. The experimental design used was completely randomized. To assess attractiveness and palatability, the following eating behaviors were observed: time taken to capture the first pellet (seconds), number of rejections after capture, number of approaches without capture and number of pellets consumed. These values were used to calculate the attractiveness and palatability index. Data were submitted to parametric analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Tukey's multiple comparison test was also performed, with a significance level of 5%. All diets containing the hydrolysate showed a positive palatability index when compared to the control treatment. Treatment T3 had the best palatability index of 6.66%, followed by T2 4.66%, T5 4.30%, T1 3.92% and T4 0.20%. Feather protein hydrolysate can be used to replace fish meal in diets for Nile tilapia, without altering palatability and feeding behavior.

Published: September 2023

O artigo apresenta um estudo sobre o intervalo entre dormentes de concreto em ferrovias de carga, por meio de um estudo de caso: obra de implantação do lote 6F da ferrovia de integração oeste-leste (FIOL). O estudo apresenta análise da tensão no lastro e do estado limite último (ELU) do dormente, utilizando-se para tanto de modelo em elementos finitos do dormentes. Observou-se que a alteração do espaçamento entre dormentes de 60 cm para 67 cm, considerando condições precárias de apoio no lastro, manteve o fator de segurança maior que 1 nos quesitos analisados, tendo como condicionante de dimensionamento o ELU do dormente, chegando-se a uma economia na implantação da via R$ 7,217 milhões na obra estudada. Para condições de apoio não precárias, o espaçamento pode ser levado a 70 cm, com a tensão no lastro assumindo o papel de condicionante para a segurança, gerando uma economia de R$ 10,310 milhões no estudo de caso. O artigo mostra que o ganho financeiro com o aumento da distância entre dormentes é significativo, podendo justificar o aprofundamento de estudos objetivando viabilidade de adoção futura de valor maior que os 60 cm.

Research on the impact of audience behavior based on emotional orientation effect of public service advertising
Authors: Huo Junyan , Cheng Chao
Published: September 2023

Purpose: This study analyzes the changes in feelings, attitudes, and behaviors of the audience after watching the Public Service Advertisements (PSA) and better evaluates which emotions are more acceptable to the audience of the PSA.

Design/Methodology/Approach: In this study, 217 audiences from Eastern and Western nations were chosen to witness the effects of several emotionally intense Public Services Advertisements and gather data to assess the shifts in opinion and behavioural influences.

Findings: Based on the results of the study, it can be shown that many social groups exhibit favorable responses to Public Services Advertisements (PSA) in terms of emotional effect perception, namely in relation to fear, comedy, and compassion. These findings indicate a generally good trend across all levels of analysis. Differences in audience attitudes and behavioural changes brought on by various levels of perception of advertising impact emerge under the influence of background circumstances.

Conclusion: The emotional orientation have a favorable impact on the attitude and conduct of the audience, serving as a source of motivation, induction, and guidance.

Research Limitations/Implications: This paper analyzes audience cognitive and behavioral research from only the emotion-oriented effect, and the actual emotion is inextricably linked with emotions and psychology. Some of the parts that have not yet been covered will be further studied in the future when conditions permit.

Practical Implications: It can help trigger the audience's emotional cognition, form long-term attention to public welfare information, and improve the possibility of changing the behavior of the public.

Contribution to Literature: This study provides a research framework for the impact of the PSA effect on audience behavior and paves the way for later emotional effect research and design strategies.
