Published: March 2021

This study measures the distress and Quality of Life (QoL) among people with type II diabetics in relation to physical exercise.  The study was conducted using diabetic participants chosen from various hospitals, aerobic centres, playgrounds and gyms in the city of Hyderabad in India.  The participants were divided into two groups – group 1 comprising people who did not adopt physical activity as part of their diabetes management strategy and group 2 comprising people who engaged in physical activity. A quasi-experimental study was performed on both groups employing purposive and snowball sampling methods. Pearson r showed that distress is negatively correlated with QoL among type II diabetics in both groups. Independent t-test indicated that participants in group 2 showed better QoL and lower levels of distress compared to their counterparts in group 1.
Developing Critical Thinking Skills in Omani EFL Foundation Programme: Constraints and Possibilities
Authors: Brahim Yazan
Published: March 2021

Educational institutions across the globe unanimously acknowledge the importance of incorporating critical thinking skills in their curricula, yet this objective has not always been met adequately or consistently across the board. In EFL settings, the obstacles to teaching critical thinking are not only genuine but also multifaceted, ranging from teachers’ and students’ training and attitudes, cultural influence and degree of support from the various stakeholders, which often results in a general perception that it is difficult to teach efficaciously. This article will report on the procedures and satisfactory outcomes of an action research that I have conducted with intermediate EFL foundation programme students at Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, using a mixed method approach. The scope of the study is to investigate the constraints to teaching critical thinking skills in this context (quite similar to other non-western ones, e.g. Asian cultures) and ultimately pilot a flexible middle-way approach that enables teachers to work around these restrictions to foster critical thinking skills in their students, without detracting from course content or sacrificing test scores. The trialled approach consists of adapting and extending activities from assigned English language course books/materials to build in more critical thinking awareness and practice, all within a learner-centred social constructivist environment, without the need for extra time or supplementary materials. In their post-course evaluation, most of the students have reported tangible improvement in information literacy, critical thinking abilities and even language proficiency. The article will close by providing practical guidelines on materials and methodology for teaching critical thinking skills in EFL contexts.

Due to the increased shifts in recent technologies, the education sector has also started to reshape itself to face the future. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are among the few recent trends that drive this shift forward. This study was set to study the impact of pairing a video lecture course with an AR presentation. A class of multimedia students (N=33) from Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, India; underwent an experiment of watching a video lecture module and attending a quiz. The same class again went through a similar test where they had to watch video lectures, get to experience what they learned in Augmented Reality for 10minutes, and then appeared for the quiz. The paired t-test conducted on the two sets of scores obtained by the class indicates a statistically significant increase in the average final scores when AR experience is paired with the video lectures. The feedback from the students was also positive on the AR experience.

Online Learning: A Post Covid-19 Alternative Pedagogy For University Students
Authors: Sim Sandra Phek-Lin , Sim Hannah Phek-Khiok , Quah Cheng-Sim
Published: March 2021

The sudden COVID-19 pandemic situation experienced globally has caused many schools and institutions of higher learning to resort to fully online teaching and learning throughout the world, including Malaysia. As many educators and students braved the situation, and until a remedy is found to prevent the spread of this deadly coronavirus, the question that lingers in the mind of many people is ‘Will online learning be the way forward for university students in post COVID-19’? Most past research have reported on students’ experience of online mode of learning via a blended learning approach but there is relatively little research focusing on the real experience of students embarking on full online learning mode, especially in the state of Sarawak. Thus, this quantitative research aimed to identify the level of acceptance of online learning among university students who have experienced full online learning mode. It also intended to identify the factors that facilitated online learning and the challenges of online learning among university students. Data were collected using an online survey involving 156 respondents from a public university in the state of Sarawak. The data collected from the survey were analysed using descriptive statistics (means, frequency counts and percentages). Results showed a moderate high level of acceptance of online learning among the university students. In addition, results revealed that among the four main factors that facilitated online learning among the students, enhancement of English language skills ranked the highest, followed by enthusiasm, self-efficacy and satisfaction. This study also found that among the main challenges encountered by the majority of the students are issues of delivery speed of teaching and learning, students’ attitude, struggles and stress of online learning mode. Results yielded in this study add to the existing literature on the possibility of online learning as an alternative pedagogy in post COVID-19 for the education sector.

Authors: Barkatullah Islam , Ahmad Syed Shamshad , Akhtar Kafil , Mansoor Tariq
Published: March 2021

Introduction: Serum levels of HER-2/neu protein is raised in primary as well as metastatic breast cancer and decreased serum HER-2/neu concentration in patients treated with HER- 2/neu inhibitors like trastuzumab is a good prognostic indicator in metastatic cases. Aims: To evaluate the concordance of serum HER-2/neu concentration with tissue HER-2/neu immunohistochemistry and determine its relationship with various prognostic indicators like age, size of tumour, lymph node status, grade, and stage of tumour. Materials and methods: The preoperative serum samples of 56 clinically and cytologically diagnosed cases of breast carcinoma were taken and postoperative mastectomy specimens were examined for the histologic type, lympho-vascular invasion, stage, and grade of the tumour. Immunohistochemical study of HER-2/neu xpression and HER-2/neu serum biochemistry was studied. Results: Age of the patients ranged from 25-75 years. Twenty-three cases (41.1%) were premenopausal while 33 cases (58.9%) postmenopausal. Forty-seven cases (83.9%) were of the infiltrating ductal carcinoma (NOS) type. Serum positivity for HER-2/neu was noted in 29 (51.8%) cases. Serum HER-2/neu levels showed a positive correlation with increase in tumour size, grade, stage of tumour and lymph node involvement. Serum HER-2/neu positivity was seen in 20 (68.9%) IHC positive patients and 9 (33.3%) IHC negative patients, with a statistically significant correlation (p=0.005). Conclusions: Serum HER-2/neu levels directly correlate with prognostic factors like tumour size, grade, stage of the tumour and lymph node metastasis and can be used as a complimentary tool to tissue HER-2/neu immunohistochemistry.

Authors: ПАНЧЕНКО Татьяна Фёдоровна
Published: March 2021

Рассказ анализируется в контексте с прецедентным текстом – стихотворением Н. П. Огарёва «Обыкновенная повесть». Отмечены реминисценции на уровне названия, события встречи – расставания – воспоминания, отношения
героев к двоякой природе образа «тёмных аллей». Проанализировано развитие диалектического сочетания любви и
несчастья, быта и бытия. Выявлено художественное своеобразие рассказа Бунина: мотивное построение сюжета,
бинарная оппозиция системы персонажей, особенность
художественного времени и пространства. Доказано, что
интертекстуальный диалог произведений разных литературных родов позволяет обнаружить в исследуемом произведении новые философские смыслы.
The subject of the research is reminiscences of I. Bunin's short
story “Dark Alleys” with N. Ogarev's poem “Аn Ordinary story”.
Having considered the plot of the story, we identified a way of
binary / gender opposition of the system of characters, a leitmotif
and a system of accompanying motives that are implemented in
other works and expand its problems. The story is analyzed in
the context of a precedent text – N. Ogarev's poem “An Ordinary
Story”. Reminiscences at the level of the title, events of the
meeting – parting – memories, and the characters' relationship
to the dual nature of the image of "dark alleys" are noted. The
development of the dialectical combination of love and misery,
life and being is analyzed. The author reveals the motivic structure
of the plot, the binary opposition of the character system, and
the chronotope. It is proved that the intertextual dialogue of
works of different literary types makes it possible to discover
new philosophical meanings. The methodological basis is the
concept of "dialogue of cultures" developed by M. M. Bakhtin
and the teaching of Y. M. Lotman about the integrity of the prose
structure. It is proved that the analyzed story is characterized
by a combination of epic and lyrical techniques of composition
about a certain meta-genre of “Dark Alleys”.

The leadership style at STIEM Bongaya is transformational leadership with a moon character not found on other campuses in Makassar City. We examine the role of involvement and the proactive role of transformational leadership relationships with employee performance. The reason for choosing the object is because the characteristics of ownership are family owned and are directed by second-generation family members, so it is interesting to study. This study used a sample of 83 employees to obtain accurate information in analyzing data by using WarpPLS 5.0. We find the transformational leadership of the moon character can improve employee performance. Because the leaders always emit the moonlight form of new enthusiasm, harmonization, comfort, and coolness, the employee engagement behavior becomes high. It has been rooted among employees that work orientation is noble. Involvement will be meaningful if there is an intelligent proactive role by the employee and the employee's performance becomes quality.

The world economy is, to a larger and larger degree, connected with the sea and dependent on it, therefore there are no alternatives for ships and other naval objects – they are and will be built. It is definitely untrue that the shipbuilding industry decays. The trade is doing well and can do even better, at least with regards to the macroeconomic situation on the world market which enforces the necessity of scrapping a large part of the senescent freight fleet and imposes new requirements of greater safety of navigation or environmental protection. In such a situation, Polish shipyards are able to compete on the world’s shipping markets; they enjoy a good reputation among ship-owners. The ships built in Polish shipyards are characterized by high quality and are favoured in the world rankings of high prestige, thus the value of order book for ships systematically increases.

Published: March 2021

The aim of the study is to analyse the process of historical growth, transformation and global expansion of the largest Brazilian aircraft industry enterprise – Embraer (Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica). The company history can be divided into three main stages. The first one lasted from 1969 until the second half of the 1980s. In that stage, the company developed production supported mainly by the government or on license technology. The second stage lasted from the end of the 1980s to the mid-1990s. This was the stage of the crisis and transformation of the company, which ended up with its privatization and recovery. The last stage, lasting from 1996 to 2009, was characterized by dynamic growth of production and sales. The new family of regional jets (ERJ-145 and Embraer 170/190) turned out to be a great selling success which has enabled the company to maintain its position as a global leader in regional jets, which vies with the Canadian Bombardier for the third place in the world ranking of aircraft manufacturers.

This market is strategically important for forming human capital of the region, as food is a basis for preservation and maintenance of population’s health.The economic crisis has been negatively reflected in functioning of the market of foodstuff that is caused by the factors having both internal and external character. Increasing the cost of some kinds of food has negatively affected consumers’ demands, as the incomes of the population in the conditions of crisis are decreasing. The structure of production and sells of foodstuff has changed. While retail prices are growing, the wholesale ones (for the peasants) are decreasing. The lack of coordinated communication between manufacturers and consumers interfered with the process of replacing imported goods with domestic products. Due to long procedures of registration for credits and insufficiency or absence of pledge, the possibilities of small businesses were limited in subsidizing programs. In the conditions of economic crisis, the primary task of the enterprises of food-processing industry should be aspiring to innovative development as well as decreasing the expenses for manufacturing and selling competitive products.

Authors: Świerczewska-Pietras Katarzyna
Published: March 2021

Cracow’s area of Zabłocie, covered by the local revitalization programme, was formed during  the development of industrial plants in 18 th  and 19 th  century. The local business activities included  the Factory of Nets, Furniture, Ferrum Constructions and Ornament Goods owned by Józef Gorecki,  whose products, even today, embellish the interiors of the Old Theater, the Chamber of Commerce  and Industry, or the Cracow’s Soap Factory owned by Czesław Śmiechowski (currently Miraculum),  which was the largest plant of this type in Krakow. The area of Zabłocie also housed the city’s largest  distillery plant, “Cracow Vodkas”, as well as the Polish Healthy Bread Manufacture “Ziarno”. After the  Second World War the post-industrial Zabłocie changed its production profile from technically simple  to technologically advanced goods. Gorecki’s factory was replaced with “Telpod”, which, following  political transitions of the 1990’s, was declared bankrupt.  During the political transformation as well as at the end of the nineties, Zabłocie became “the  forgotten” area of Kraków. The ongoing deterioration of post-industrial buildings as well as spacial and  infrastructural chaos influenced the deepening processes of the area’s functional structure within the  territory of the city. It was only the municipality, which objective was to bring the district out of crisis  and which based its politics on passing of both local plan of spacial economy and local revitalization  programme, that generated investors’ interest in the area. Currently Zabłocie is undergoing revitalization  works on post-industrial buildings which, thanks to new functions, can be again incorporated into the  area’s spacial structure. With regard to the above, the objective of this essay is to present structural  changes which the district has undergone over the course of recent years and which have significantly  influenced its functional transition from post-industrial to the one oriented on development of small and  medium enterprises sector and housing.

Since then, it has developed rapidly and become a leader in computing and Internet search. 73 departments of the corporation are located in 43 countries, usually in the capitals of these countries or in rather large cities, which are associated with major public markets. The leading actors are 26 departments located in Europe and 24 departments located in the North America. The headquarters of Google is located in Mountain View, California. Individual countries have varying degree of presence of Google offices, the greatest number being located in the United States – 20, whilst 3 are located in Poland: in Warsaw, Cracow and Wroclaw.The economic potential of Google has been concentrated in three areas: the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries.
