Read alouds 2.0 in an Indonesian tertiary EFL classroom
Authors: Novianti Nita , Abdurahman Nur Hafiz
Published: March 2019

Read alouds have long been advocated as a reading practice that is not only appropriate for children but also for adult learners. Empirical evidence shows that reading aloud could be an effective strategy for EFL students’ reading comprehension. However, its practice in EFL literature classrooms has received scarce attention. To fill this practical gap, this article reports on the adoption of read alouds 2.0 in a tertiary EFL literature classroom. The read aloud 2.0 aims to help students make meaning of literary texts. In this practice, blended discussion was carried out through Edmodo as a learning platform for virtual engagement between teacher and students and between students and their peers. The implication of this practice is that both teachers and students maximize their engagement with literary texts both face-to-face and virtually.
Saudi Arabia EFL university students’ voice on challenges and solution in learning academic writing
Authors: Alharbi Mohammed Abdullah
Published: March 2019

The present study aims to investigate the difficulties faced by 74 English as a foreign language (EFL) undergraduate students in developing a well-written paragraph in academic writing by designing a writing course based on the students’ voices. The self-report survey (5-point Likert scale) was used as the pre- and post-questionnaire, and pre- and the post-tests task was used to track students’ writing improvement before and after taking a writing course. Pre-questionnaire and pre-tests showed that participants had difficulties in using the mechanics of writing (punctuation, spelling, grammar, topic sentences, and supporting sentences). The majority of the students’ responses in the post-survey shows that they believed their writing improved and encountered fewer difficulties in writing as compared to their views in the pre-questionnaire. The result of the post-tests indicates improvements in students’ writing samples. The study concludes that EFL writing courses should be designed on the basis of challenges faced by the students in order to get the best outcome from the course.

Published: March 2019

Academic writing and subsequent publishing have become an important part of the career advancement and professional development of those engaged in English language teaching worldwide. The aim of this study was to explore a solution to the gap in the academic writing skills of Ecuadorian English teachers in tertiary education. Our survey of 65 Ecuadorian English teachers showed that 92% of teachers had never published. Their reasons for not having done so included lack of self-confidence that they could produce publishable material, lack of English proficiency, lack of academic writing skills and lack of time. The intervention described in the research study involved engaging nine English teachers of an academic writing training course in authentic tasks that required writing academically for five carefully chosen ELT publications. An attainable goal was set: the participants of the training course held in November-December 2016 were invited to write book reviews and short articles on the intervention itself. Till the end of April 2018, altogether seven academic-level texts (four book reviews, one webinar review, one short article, and a concise book) were published. Two of the course participants decided early on that they did not want to participate in the optional academic writing and publishing activity, and a further four did not follow up on their initial steps; nonetheless, as a result of the intervention and its follow-up phase, five of the nine participants (including two that initially abstained) eventually published academic-level texts in recognized ELT publications. The results of the study suggest that tertiary level (non-native) English teachers can start writing academically and achieve success in the competitive world of publishing if realistic tasks are set, the trainees are mentored systematically, and the time frame (18 months) allows the submission, revision, and editing of academic articles to develop organically, leading to polished products.

Major vectors of cooperation of the War Refugee Board with non-governmental organizations (1944 – 1945)
Authors: Yushkevych Volodymur
Published: March 2019

The article analyzes one of the areas of the operational work of the War Refugee Board, an American governmental agency that emerged at the end of the World War II. The purpose of the new US government structure was to plan and implement relief and rescue actions for Jews and Nazi minorities persecuted in wartime. This organization appeared in early 1944 due to the efforts of the Secretary to the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. and with the support of President Franklin Roosevelt. The WRB complemented the international organizations system on refugees, the active participant of which was the US government. The article shows that during the sixteen months of its existence the researched governmental structure was able to carry out specific tasks in the territory of the neutral and occupied countries as it was subordinated exclusively by the American administration. On the other hand, the WRB appeared more flexible in its operational activities in comparison with International institutions and entities (the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation initiative) which needed overall consensus in decision-making process. It is revealed that the important part of the work of the War Refugee Board was to cooperate with public non-governmental organizations. The range of American Jewish and Christian structures that established close partnership with the War Refugee Board has been identified. Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of the main directions of bilateral cooperation. An important element in the implementation of US aid policy in the European armed forces was the involvement of a number of financial resources licensed by the US Department of Defense, of non-governmental organizations, mainly Jewish. It was reached that financial and diplomatic work in the neutral countries of Europe was an indispensable part of the work of the WRB, which was augmented by the cooperation with agents of non-governmental organizations on the occupied territories.
Axiological status of lexems CHASTE, CHASTITY, and VIRGINITY in Ukrainian media discourse
Authors: Levko Oleksandr
Published: March 2019

The paper addresses the use of the words цнотливий, цнотливість and цнота in the Ukrainian political media discourse, with a particular focus on the evolution of the "chastity words" semantics in the Ukrainian language, based on social and political publications of the internet portals "Dzerkalo tyzhnja", "Ukrajinskyj Tyzhden", "Ukrajinska Pravda". The canon of Christian virtues, established in the Middle Ages, is no longer accepted unquestioningly by modern society, and thus it is not surprising to see an ambivalent attitude to certain religious ascetic virtues, e.g. chastity, humility, piety etc. It is revealed that evaluative semantics of the "chastity words" in the Ukrainian political media discourse varies for different reference groups such as "women", "men", "girls", "boys", "state", "politicians", "language", "literature", "art" and "cinema". When denoting female virtue, the "chastity words" have positive and neutral connotations. It is shown that chastity as a virtue of men and women is synonymous in the Ukrainian media discourse to modesty, decency, morality, honor, dignity and virtue. “Chaste" as a characteristic of an intimate contact indicates its tenderness and decency, which is positively assessed by the participants of communication in Ukrainian political media discourse. The use of the "chastity words" as an attribute of government and public institutions is conditioned by a cognitive metaphor, where the source domain is a woman or an intimate relationship. The language evaluation of the "chastity words" ranges from positive to extremely negative in the political media texts: in the latter case they acquire negative evaluative meanings "stagnation", "limitation", "ideological engagement," "conservatism," "lack of reform." Sometimes the "chastity words" acquire negative connotations when attributed to art, literature and cinema, actualizing the semes "lack of progress", "backwardness". In a literal sense, chastity as absence of excessive eroticism and moral debauchery in art and films is evaluated positively in the Ukrainian social and political media discourse.

Authors: YENGİL Erhan , Güner Pınar Döner , TOPAKKAYA Ömer Kerim
Published: March 2019

Amaç:Bu çalışmada okul öncesi çocuklarda ve ebeveynlerinde teknolojik cihaz kullanım sıklığını ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem:Çalışma kesitsel tipte olup, 2017-2018 eğitim öğretim yılı Ocak-Şubat aylarında Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi Kreş ve Gündüz Bakımevine giden okul öncesi çocukların (3-6 yaş) ebeveynlerden birine çocuğunun, kendisinin ve eşinin teknolojik cihaz kullanımıyla ilgili sorular içeren anket çalışması yapıldı.Bulgular:Kreş ve Gündüz Bakımevine giden 53 çocuğun 42’sinin ebeveyni anketi yanıtladı. Anketi cevaplayanların 34’ü (%81) anne, 8’i (%19) baba idi. Çocukların 11’inin (%26,2) 1-2 yaş arasında, 17’sinin (%40,5) 2-3 yaş arasında, 10’unun (%23,8) 3-4 yaş arası, 4’ünün (%9,5) 4 yaşından sonra teknolojik cihazları kullanmaya başladığı görüldü. Çocukların 24’ü (%57,1) 0-1 saat, 14’ü (%33,3) 1-2 saat, 4’ü (%9,5) 2-3 saat teknolojik cihaz kullanmaktadır. Annelerin 24’ü (%57,1) 0-1 saat, 12’si (%28,5) 1-2 saat, 5’i (%11,9) 2-3 saat, 1’i (%2,4) 3 saatten fazla teknolojik cihaz kullanmaktadır. Babaların 17’si (%40,4) 0-1 saat, 14’ü (%33,3) 1-2 saat, 10’u (%23,8) 2-3 saat, 1’i (%2,4) 3 saatten fazla teknolojik cihaz kullanmaktadır. Teknolojik cihaz kullanım saati ile çocuğun cinsiyeti, ailenin maddi durumu, eğitim seviyesi, çocuk sayısı arasında ilişki bulunamadı. Ebeveynin teknolojik cihaz kullanım saatiyle çocuğun teknolojik cihaz kullanımı arasında anlamlı fark bulunmamaktadır (p=0,31).Sonuç:Bu çalışma, okul öncesi çocuklarda ve ebeveynlerinde teknolojik cihaz kullanımının yaygın kullanıldığını göstermektedir. Çocukların ebeveynlerinin gözetimi altında olmadan sık teknolojik cihaz kullanması yürümeye ve konuşmaya geç başlama gibi olumsuz etkilere neden olmaktadır. Ebeveynlerin ve çocukların teknolojik cihazları sık kullanması birlikte geçirdikleri süreyi ve yaptıkları aktiviteyi azaltmaktadır. Çalışmamız, çocukların teknolojik cihaz kullanımları esnasında ebeveynlerin tutum ve davranışlarının çocuklara etkilerinin gösterilmesinde ve teknolojik cihaz kullanımının zararlı etkileri konusunda ebeveynlerin bilinçlendirilmesinde önemli olup sonraki kapsamlı çalışmalar için yol gösterici olacaktır.

La investigación desde un referente epistemológico como aporte para la reflexión misional de las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES), en Colombia
Authors: Cabrera-Otálora Martha Isabel , Nieto-Gómez Libia Esperanza , Giraldo-Díaz Reinaldo
Published: March 2019

La investigación en las sociedades modernas, también denominadas sociedades de la información y/o del conocimiento, juega un papel fundamental como puntal del desarrollo y del progreso económico, científico, tecnológico y social de los países. En este artículo derivado de investigación, se examina la investigación en Colombia teniendo en cuenta el planteamiento de bucles desde el referente epistemológico del pensamiento complejo. Metodológicamente, se analizan los postulados que aparecen en la normatividad colombiana (teniendo en cuenta las disposiciones supraestatales), considerando los retos que imponen las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) a la luz de la crisis contemporánea del humanismo. Se halló que en Colombia el conocimiento se gestiona prioritariamente en torno de aquello que implica o significa mayor ganancia y progreso, en desmedro de la función social de todo conocimiento y que existen cuatro retos que deben afrontar las IES colombianas respecto a la investigación: sociales; TIC; económicos; calidad y certificación de programas. Se concluye que las IES deben revisar los soportes epistémicos que sustentan sus procesos investigativos con el fin de contemplar los cuatro fines que demanda el contexto colombiano en función de la superación o de la búsqueda de alternativas a la crisis del humanismo.

Authors: Reyna Carla
Published: March 2019

This article discusses the practices, individuals and institutions that were involved in the fight against trachoma in school children in Santiago del Estero, Argentina, between the 1920s and 1940s. The goals of this paper are, firstly, to analyze the creation of a mixed health care system to preserve the vision health of schoolchildren. Secondly, to examine the disputes between local trachoma experts, who relied either on a hygienist approach or a sanitary approach regarding the etiopathogenesis of trachoma, the correlation between ethnic stigmatization and contagiousness and the effectiveness of school campaigns in the province.
Confesión y autenticidad en el discurso populista de hoy
Authors: Valverde Mariana
Published: March 2019

The forms of political populism that are flourishing around the world, in extreme rightwing versions, but also in left-wing versions, are often dismissed as ignorance, fake news, and demagoguery. However, those analyses often focus only on the content of the claims made by populist leaders rather than on the forms of «veridiction» and the ethical practices and forms that constitute «populism». In this article some theoretical tools borrowed from Foucault’s diverse work on «veridiction» and truth-telling, and also from Adorno’s 1960s critique of existentialism, are deployed to try to understand the forms and techniques that constitute populist leaders as «authentic» and thus as close to the people and as not contaminated by discredited institutions. Authenticity is created through very specific forms of truth-telling, as is shown with the example of the late mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford.

Published: March 2019

The purpose of the present review was to identify culturally responsive education (CRE) tools and strategies within K-12 computing education. A systematic literature review of studies on CRE across 20 years was conducted. A narrative synthesis was applied to code the final studies into six themes: sociopolitical consciousness raising, heritage culture through artifacts, vernacular culture, lived experiences, community connections, and personalization. These common themes in CRE can help empower and attend to the needs of marginalized students in technology education. Furthermore, the review serves as an important overview for researchers and educators attempting to achieve equity in computing education.
Salivary proteins in health and disease.
Authors: Kościelniak Dorota , Jurczak Anna , Zygmunt Agnieszka , Krzyściak Wirginia
Published: March 2019

Besides their structural catalytic and diverse regulatory functions, proteins are also precursors of many important biological compounds essential for normal functioning of humans. Many of these compounds may be used as markers for identification of specific pathological states. A comprehensive knowledge about the metabolism of salivary proteins and the mechanisms of action of their metabolites allowed the development of effective treatment for many disorders. However, it should not be forgotten that in some pathological conditions, these compounds not only could be involved in the pathogenesis but also could be used as tool in the prediction of many diseases. This paper is a review of the published literature on selected salivary proteins in the context of the physiological processes of the human body and chosen chronic disorders, such as diabetes, diabetic nephropathy, mucositis, oral mycoses and caries.

Stigmasterol has been shown exhibit anti-osteoarthritic properties in vitro studies. However, the in vivo effects of stigmasterol on cartilage are still unclear. This study investigated the anti-osteoarthritic properties of stigmasterol on cartilage degradation in a rabbit model of osteoarthritis (OA). Twenty rabbits underwent bilateral anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) to induce OA. Five rabbits were used as normal control. Two weeks after operation, the rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. Each group of 10 rabbits received intra-articular injection with 0.3 ml of stigmasterol in left knees and vehicle in right knees, once weekly. Group 1 was killed 6 weeks after ACLT and 2 were sacrificed 9 weeks after ACLT. The knee joints were assessed by gross morphology, histology and gene expression analysis. We found that expression of genes encoding matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) was significantly higher while tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 was significantly lower in the both joints of the two OA groups compared to normal controls. Stigmasterol reduced the cartilage degradation as assessed by histological analysis and markedly suppressed MMPs expression both in group 1 and group 2. Our results suggest that stigmasterol may be considered as a possible therapeutical agent in the treatment of OA.
P2Y1 nucleotide receptor silencing and its effect on glioma C6 calcium signaling.
Authors: Wypych Dorota , Pomorski Pawel
Published: March 2019

In our earlier studies of the signaling cross-talk between nucleotide receptors in an in vitro glioma model (C6 cell line) under prolonged serum deprivation conditions, a growth arrest of the cells and expression shift from P2Y(1) to P2Y(12) receptors was found. The aim of the present work was to test if siRNA silencing of P2Y(1) receptor changes P2Y(12) expression similarly as following the serum deprivation and which physiological downstream pathways it affects. Here we demonstrate for the first time the efficiency of siRNA technology in silencing P2Y nucleotide receptors in glioma C6 cell line. Moreover, P2Y(12) proved to be insensitive to the P2Y(1) receptor silencing. The effect of the P2Y(1) silencing on calcium signaling was less pronounced then the extent of the protein change itself, exactly as was the case for the serum starvation experiments. Phosphorylation of ERK and Akt kinases were studied as the downstream effect of P2Y(1)-evoked signaling and similar effects as in the case of serum deprivation were found for ERK, and even stronger ones for Akt phosphorylation.

Purpose. The aim of the study was to assess the in vitro potency of pentoxifylline (PTX) and one of its most active metabolites lisofylline (LSF) to improve rheological properties of red blood cells (RBC) from healthy individuals and patients with chronic venous disease (CVD). Additionally, the study aimed to compare the effects of PTX and LSF on RBC deformability and aggregation. Methods. Blood samples were collected from healthy volunteers (antecubital vein) and from CVD patients (varicose and antecubital vein). Deformability and aggregation of RBC were assessed using Laser-assisted Optical Rotational Cell Analyser (LORCA). Results. PTX and LSF increased RBC elongation significantly. Additionally, RBC incubation with PTX resulted in a marked decrease in RBC aggregation. PTX reduced the tendency towards the formation of RBC aggregates and of their stability. The beneficial effect of PTX on RBC aggregation was most apparent for those cells whose aggregation tendency and aggregate stability was the greatest. Conclusions. In vitro addition of PTX or LSF effectively increased deformability of RBC from healthy donors and patients with CVD. Thus, LSF may contribute to the in vivo hemorheological effects of pentoxifylline. On the other hand, there was no significant effect of LSF on aggregation of RBC in vitro. Hence, LSF has no contribution to this particular effect of PTX. Additionally, the present study demonstrated the use of RBC with impaired deformability and aggregation for the evaluation of in vitro rheological activity of xenobiotics.

This thesis explores the role of the addooyyee institution in making friendship and sisterhood relation among girls. It aims at discussing the procedure by which addooyyee established between girls and used as girls’ friendship. During data collection, ethnographic methods such as observation, focus group discussions and semi-structured interview were employed. In data analysis, interpretive method was used to discuss the collected data.  The analyzed data shows that, the addooyyee institution has vital role in making friendship and sisterhood relation among girls in their social, economic and cultural life. The institution strengthen the relation of girls during wedding ceremony, working hand crafts (hodhaa), and their journey to collect firewood and migira buqqisuu (uproot grass), decoration wisdoms and daboo dubartii (girls’ cooperative work). Girls run all the above systems through their addooyyee institution to help each other and to exercise their friendship and unity among the society as gender based traditional institution. The thesis concludes that the addooyyee institution enables girls to come together and help each other in their social, economic and cultural life. To windup, concerning bodies should have to use this readymade institution in helping girls to strength their relation in all aspects of social activities.

Were capitalists interested only in profit in the 19th century? An example of Jan Gottlieb Bloch
Authors: Pieczewski Andrzej
Published: March 2019

The social class which was the spiritus movens of rapid economic transformation in the lands of the Kingdom of Poland in the nineteenth century was the bourgeoisie. In the public sphere, there is still a strong conviction among contemporary Poles about the moral defects of capitalists, for whom, according to the prevailing stereotypes, only profit was important. The author of this article, to contradict this claim, gives an example of the life and actions of Jan Gottlieb Bloch (1836–1902). The aim of the article is to present the broad economic, social and scientific activity of Bloch as a member of the bourgeoisie of the Kingdom of Poland. The author also points to the need for further research on the work of Jan Bloch, especially in the field of his economic and irenological writing.
Socrates and Business Ethics. Considerations on the ethical origins of responsibility
Authors: Podrez Ewa
Published: March 2019

The presented work attempts to show a link between business and global responsibility, and the Socratic idea of self-knowledge. Today’s ethics discusses the fundamental issues of man’s place in the world. The human existence is one of the causes of the contemporary crisis. This crisis between man and the world obliges us to raise a radical question of the ethical origins of individual and global responsibility for the quality of life and the future of human generations. This question requires going back to the historical and ethical considerations about the Socratic project of the good life. The starting point for Socratic ethics is an inter-personal and inner-personal dialogue; the subsequent result is man’s practical wisdom of how to build his life with others. Socrates argues that the key issue of responsibility is the awakening of self-awareness and the way to achieve this objective is through dialogue.
The Byzantine-Poetic Path of the Works of St. Maximus the Greek (Mikhail Trivolis, *Arta, ca. 1470 – St. Maximus the Greek, †Moscow, 1556)
Authors: Zajc Neža
Published: March 2019

Maximus the Greek has been frequently misunderstood because of his individual use of the Slavic language. Born as Mikhail Trivolis in the Greek town of Arta, he received his humanist education in North Italy, particularly in Florence and Venice, where he was engaged in the process of the first editions of printed books and where he would constantly deal with manuscript samples. His original, authorial work, as preserved in his manuscripts, reflects his awareness of firm Orthodox theology and at the same time a special attention to grammatical rules. The paper shows how his use of the (Slavic) language was at all times intentional and at the same time profoundly influenced by the metrical rules of liturgical emphasis. Through such attitude, Maximus the Greek managed to create his own, deeply personal language and to express the complexity of Byzantine patristic, hagiographic and iconographic issues. Finally, he successfully established his Orthodox theological system, significantly marked with the poetic effect that strongly inspired his theological works.
Melón (Cucumis melo L.) cultivado bajo invernadero: correlaciones entre variables
Authors: Monge-Pérez Jose Eladio , Loría-Coto Michelle
Published: March 2019

Se establecieron correlaciones de Pearson para 63 genotipos de melón producidos bajo invernadero, entre cinco variables cuantitativas: peso del fruto (g), número de frutos por metro cuadrado, rendimiento por área (ton/ha), firmeza de la pulpa del fruto (N), y porcentaje de sólidos solubles totales (°Brix). Los melones andromonoicos produjeron un mayor número de frutos por metro cuadrado y un mayor rendimiento por área, en comparación con los monoicos, y no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre ellos para el peso del fruto, el porcentaje de sólidos solubles totales, ni la firmeza de la pulpa del fruto. La única correlación de Pearson evaluada en los 63 genotipos que fue alta (r ≥ 0,69) y con significancia estadística (p ≤ 0,05), se obtuvo entre el rendimiento y el número de frutos por metro cuadrado (r = 0,79); en este caso se calculó la regresión lineal (R2 = 0,63). Se concluye que el número de frutos por metro cuadrado es la variable más importante para predecir el rendimiento en melón cultivado en invernadero. Se obtuvieron otras 11 correlaciones altas y con significancia estadística, según el tipo de expresión sexual o según el tipo de melón.
