Correcting Hypernatremia in Children
Authors: Didsbury Madeleine , See Emily J. , Cheng Daryl R. , Kausman Joshua , Quinlan Catherine
Published: February 2023

Background

In children with hypernatremia, current clinical guidelines recommend a reduction in serum sodium of 0.5 mmol/L per hour or less to avoid complications of cerebral edema. However, no large-scale studies have been conducted in the pediatric setting to inform this recommendation. Therefore, this study aimed to report the association between the rate of correction of hypernatremia, neurological outcomes, and all-cause mortality in children.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted from 2016 to 2019 at a quaternary pediatric center in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. All children with at least one serum sodium level ≥150 mmol/L were identified through interrogation of the hospital’s electronic medical record. Medical notes, neuroimaging reports, and electroencephalogram results were reviewed for evidence of seizures and/or cerebral edema. The peak serum sodium level was identified and correction rates over the first 24 hours and overall were calculated. Unadjusted and multivariable analyses were used to examine the association between the rate of sodium correction and neurological complications, the requirement for neurological investigation, and death.

Results

There were 402 episodes of hypernatremia among 358 children over the 3-year study period. Of these, 179 were community-acquired and 223 developed during admission. A total of 28 patients (7%) died during admission. Mortality was higher in children with hospital-acquired hypernatremia, as was the frequency of intensive care unit admission and hospital length of stay. Rapid correction (>0.5 mmol/L per hour) occurred in 200 children and was not associated with greater neurological investigation or mortality. Length of stay was longer in children who received slow correction (<0.5 mmol/L per hour).

Conclusions

Our study did not find any evidence that rapid sodium correction was associated with greater neurological investigation, cerebral edema, seizures, or mortality; however, slow correction was associated with a longer hospital length of stay.

Authors: Ghosh Saibal , Mondal Sandip , Banerjee Sonali , Mukherjee Abhishek , Bhattacharyya Pradip
Published: February 2023

Potassium mobilizing bacteria (KMB) strains have been isolated from waste mica mines in the Giridih district of Jharkhand, India, using Alexandrov media. These isolates were evaluated for their potential to dissolve water soluble-K from waste mica (muscovite and biotite). Identity was confirmed based on sequencing of 16S rDNA region of those isolates showing promising water soluble-K dissolving capacity. Strains were found to be different isolates of Bacillus cereus, two unconfirmed Bacillus species (strain- 6SB1 and GG6), and one each of B. velezensis and Paraburkholderia kururiensis. Finally, the four most efficient KMB were selected based on their K-mobilizing capability. The K5B (B. cereus) isolate showed the highest K-solubilising capacity in both muscovite and biotite enriched medium. Soil incubation study was conducted using soils of Giridih (Alfisol) with three gradient concentrations of both waste mica tailings and K-solubilising capacity of four KMB isolates (B. cereus, strain- K5B, K6, K15; and Bacillus sp. GG6- K12) were measured at 4, 7, 14 and 21 days intervals. The K release dynamics in incubated soils indicated that potassium was released from both types of micas to significantly higher water-soluble K (WS-K) and exchangeable K (Ex-K) pools due to the inoculation of KMB isolates. Apart from potassium solubilization, B. cereus strain K5B and Bacillus sp. GG6 showed capabilities to produce indole acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA). These results suggested that a combination of KMB strain and powdered mica tailings could be a suitable alternative to commercial chemical fertilizers and maintain soil nutrient status for plant uptake.

Efecto del tamaño de trampa al cuantificar la caída de material vegetal
Authors: Quesada-Acuña Sergio Gabriel , Pérez-Gómez Gabriela
Published: February 2023

Introducción: Muchos fenómenos naturales estudiados en ecología (como lluvia de semillas y producción de hojarasca) requieren métodos cuantitativos que recolecten datos in absentia, por ejemplo, las trampas. Las trampas varían en forma, tamaño y material, y se debe considerar cuidadosamente su selección. Hay pocos estudios que comparen el desempeño de trampas de diferentes tamaños y su efecto en las estimaciones. Objetivo: Comparar dos tamaños de una trampa común diseñada para cuantificar la caída de material vegetal. Métodos: En un parque urbano tropical en San José, Costa Rica, colocamos un total de 74 trampas cuadradas (trampa grande = 0,50m2, con una subsección concéntrica de 0,25m2 que representa la trampa pequeña) en tres microhábitats (pasto; borde del bosque y bajo árboles aislados). Desde julio de 2021 hasta junio de 2022, recolectamos el contenido de las trampas dos veces al mes (esfuerzo de muestreo anual: 144 horas por trampa). Resultados: la trampa grande da como resultado estimaciones de densidad más bajas, lo que genera errores y desviaciones estándar más altos. La trampa pequeña estima densidades más altas, pero reduce la desviación estándar y el error. Los coeficientes de variación de ambas trampas fueron similares. Conclusión: Los estudios con trampas de vegetación deben considerar el efecto del tamaño de trampa en las estimaciones de densidad, el error estimado y las desviaciones estándar.
Identification of sex-linked SNP markers in wild populations of monomorphic birds
Authors: Garcia-Raventós Aina , Muñoz-Merida Antonio , Lapiedra Oriol , Unzeta Mar , Ferrandiz-Rovira Mariona , Sol Daniel
Published: February 2023

Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analyses are a powerful tool for
population genetics, pedigree reconstruction and phenotypic trait
mapping. SNPs could also be useful for sexing individuals in species
with reduced sexual dimorphism, yet this possibility remains poorly
explored. Here, we develop a novel protocol for molecular sexing of
birds based on the detection of unique Z- and W-linked SNP markers. Our
method is based on the identification of two unique loci, one in each
sexual chromosome. Individuals are considered males when they are
heterozygotic for the Z-linked SNP and females when they are homozygote
for the Z-linked SNP and have the W-linked SNP. We validated the method
in the Jackdaw (Corvus monedula), a species whose reduced sexual
dimorphism makes it difficult to sex individuals in the wild. We
assessed the reliability of the method with 36 individuals of known sex,
and found that their sex was correctly assigned in 100% of cases. The
sex-linked markers also proved to be widely applicable to discriminate
males and females from a sample of 927 genotyped individuals of
different maturity stages with an accuracy of 99.5%. Given that SNP
markers are increasingly used in quantitative genetic analyses of wild
populations, the approach we propose has a great potential to be
integrated into broader genetic research programmes without the need of
additional sexing techniques.
Neural signatures of memory gain through active exploration in an oculomotor-auditory learning task
Authors: Sturm Stefanie , Costa-Faidella Jordi , SanMiguel Iria
Published: February 2023

Active engagement improves learning and memory, and self- vs. externally
generated stimuli are processed differently: perceptual intensity and
neural responses are attenuated. Whether the attenuation is linked to
memory formation remains to be understood. This study investigates
whether active oculomotor control over auditory stimuli – controlling
for movement and stimulus predictability – benefits associative
learning, and studies the underlying neural mechanisms. Using EEG and
eyetracking we explored the impact of control during learning on the
processing and memory recall of arbitrary oculomotor-auditory
associations. Participants (N=23) learned associations through active
exploration or passive observation, using a gaze-controlled interface to
generate sounds. Our results show faster learning progress in the active
condition. ERPs time-locked to the onset of sound stimuli showed that
learning progress was linked to an attenuation of the P3a component. The
detection of matching movement-sound pairs triggered a target-matching
P3b response. There was no general modulation of ERPs through active
learning. However, participants could be divided into different learner
types: those who benefited strongly from active control during learning
and those who did not. The strength of the N1 attenuation effect for
self-generated stimuli was correlated with memory gain in active
learning. Our results show that control helps learning and memory and
modulates sensory responses. Individual differences during sensory
processing predict the strength of the memory benefit. Taken together,
these results help to disentangle the effects of agency, unspecific
motor-based neuromodulation, and stimulus predictability on ERP
components and establish a link between self-generation effects and
active learning memory gain.

Published: February 2023

Introdução: O erro de medicação é qualquer evento evitável que, de fato ou potencialmente, pode levar ao uso inadequado do medicamento, podendo ou não provocar danos ao paciente. Os erros reais são aqueles que foram detectados após a sua ocorrência. Os erros potenciais, também chamados de “quase falhas” ou “near misses”, são incidentes que, em alguma etapa da cadeia medicamentosa, foram interceptados antes de alcançar o paciente. Pacientes oncológicos utilizam muitos medicamentos de estreita margem terapêutica, cuja falha no processo de medicação pode acarretar danos e impactar nos desfechos clínicos. O reconhecimento dos erros de medicação como indicador da qualidade de assistência contribui para tomada de decisão na melhoria dos processos para garantir ao paciente segurança durante o tratamento medicamentoso. Objetivo: Descrever o perfil e a frequência dos erros notificados ao Centro de Farmacovigilância (CFV) ocorridos em uma unidade de oncohematologia e transplante de medula óssea em um Hospital Universitário em SalvadorBA. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e retrospectivo de erros coletados do banco de dados do CFV no período de novembro 2011 até setembro 2022. A análise de dados foi realizada através de cálculo de frequência. Esse estudo foi aprovado pelo CEP institucional sob número 4465789. Resultados e Discussão: Foram notificados 1731 erros, sendo 76 da unidade de oncohematologia, representando 4,4% do total. Quanto à classificação, 40 (52,6%) notificações foram de quase falha, e 36 (47,4%) de erros de medicação. 3 (4%) erros de medicação causaram danos ao paciente. Os tipos de erros mais frequentes foram: medicamento errado (18/76) e omissão de dose (14/76). Quanto às etapas envolvidas no processo, 34,7% (33/95) ocorreram na etapa de administração, 28,4% (27/95) na dispensação, 21,1% (20/95) na prescrição, 12,6% (12/95) no preparo/manipulação e 5,3% (5/95) outros. Esses dados foram semelhantes ao estudo de revisão de Weingart et al, 2018 em que os erros afetam pelo menos 1 a 3% dos pacientes oncológicos e são mais frequentes em pacientes internados, ocorrendo em todas as etapas do processo de uso dos medicamentos. Os principais grupos farmacológicos foram os agentes antineoplásicos 29 (38%) e anti-infecciosos de uso sistêmico 14 (18%), semelhante ao observado no estudo de sSchwappach & Wernli, 2018.Conclusão: Os dados encontrados nesse trabalho foram semelhantes aos descritos em literatura contribuindo para ampliar as discussões sobre os procedimentos desenvolvidos na Instituição e fortalecendo condutas alinhadas à segurança do paciente.

Published: February 2023

Introdução: O desenvolvimento de medicamentos imunobiológicos revolucionou o tratamento de doenças crônicas com componente autoimune, como artrite reumatóide, psoríase e doenças inflamatórias intestinais, proporcionando melhores desfechos no controle e estabilidade do quadro clínico. Por outro lado, são medicamentos que requerem adequado monitoramento devido as suas características como imunogenicidade e possibilidade de ocorrência de reações infusionais, via de administração parenteral, contraindicações e necessidade de cálculo de ajuste de dose. Nesse contexto, o farmacêutico exerce um papel importante na otimização da farmacoterapia, contribuindo para garantir os objetivos esperados através de intervenções farmacêuticas, que são atos planejados, documentados e realizados para resolver ou prevenir os problemas relacionados à medicamentos. Objetivo: Caracterizar as intervenções farmacêuticas realizadas em um centro de infusão de imunobiológicos. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional retrospectivo, realizado entre 21 de setembro de 2021 a 21 outubro de 2022 em um centro de infusão de um Hospital Universitário da Bahia. As intervenções realizadas durante atendimento farmacêutico foram registradas em um formulário de coleta e os dados analisados por estatística descritiva. Resultados: No período observado, foram realizadas 109 intervenções farmacêuticas. 51 (46,8%) intervenções tiveram como alvo o prescritor, 50 (45,9%) os pacientes ou responsáveis e oito (7,3%) outros profissionais de saúde. 75 (68,8%) intervenções foram aceitas, gerando alguma modificação na conduta. Em 33 (30,3%) intervenções, não foi possível avaliar a aceitabilidade. Uma (0,9%) intervenção foi parcialmente aceita. As intervenções mais frequentes foram: 28 (25,7%) solicitações de ajuste de dose, 14 (9,2%) orientações à equipe de enfermagem sobre diluição e velocidade de infusão e 7 (6%) sugestões de suspensão da infusão por contraindicações. Conclusão: As intervenções farmacêuticas realizadas demonstram a importância do farmacêutico nos processos de monitorização e garantia da efetividade e segurança da terapia. Além disso, a boa aceitabilidade das intervenções farmacêuticas pode estar relacionada a uma sistematização do processo de cuidado e inserção do profissional farmacêutico na equipe multiprofissional.

Regulacioni plan i direktivna regulaciona osnova Zagreba iz 1949. godine prvi je urbanistički prijedlog razvoja Zagreba nakon Drugoga svjetskog rata. Glavni je tvorac dokumenta ing. Vlado Antolić sa svojim suradnicima u Urbanističkom institutu Narodne Republike Hrvatske. Dokument je nastavak prijeratnoga urbanističkog plana koji je stupio na snagu 1940., kako zbog ljudi koji su ga stvarali, tako i zbog ideja koje su prenesene u poslijeratno urbanističko planiranje. Poslijeratni urbanizam nastajao je u okolnostima velike nestašice materijalnih i tehničkih sredstava te kvalificirane radne snage. Ali, usprkos velikim poteškoćama pri izradi urbanističkoga plana, on je ponudio urbanistička rješenja koja su kasniji urbanisti u svojim urbanističkim planovima prihvatili. Članak analizira sadržaj Regulacionoga plana i direktivne regulacione osnove Zagreba iz 1949., kontekst poslijeratnoga vremena u kojemu se promijenio društveni i ideološki okvir, a unutar kojega je nastajala nova poslijeratna urbanistička praksa.
Evaluation of efficacy of utility arch with inter-maxillary elastics for treating skeletal deep bite with retroclined upper incisors in the mixed dentition: a clinical randomized controlled trial
Authors: Alsawaf Danya Hassan , Rajah Nada
Published: February 2023

Objectives

To investigate the effectiveness of utility arch (UA) with inter-maxillary elastics compared with fixed anterior bite plane (FABP) for treating deep bite in brachy-facial children.

Materials and Methods

This was a single-center, randomized controlled trial. Participants were children aged between 9 and 12 years with deep bite and a hypodivergent skeletal pattern. The sample was divided into the following two groups: (1) a UA group that was composed of patients with UAs with posterior inter-maxillary elastics and (2) an FABP group as a control. Outcomes were skeletal and dentoalveolar variables on cephalometric X-rays.

Results

A total of 28 patients (13 boys, 15 girls) with a mean age of 10.66 years were enrolled. The treatment duration was 8.16 months in the UA group and 7.22 months in the FABP group. After treatment, the angle between the anterior cranial base and the mandible in the vertical plane increased significantly (P = .000) in both groups (about 1.97 degrees in the UA group and 2.75 degrees in the FABP group). Overbite decreased significantly in both groups (−2.1 m in the UA group and −3.64 m in the FABP group), but it decreased less significantly in the UA group than in the FABP group. The upper incisors flared significantly after treatment with both appliances (6.6 degrees in the UA group and 5.9 degrees in the FABP group).

Conclusions

Treatment of deep bite in children with a horizontal growth pattern by each of the appliances used in this study is effective. The mandible showed minor, significant backward rotation after treatment. The overbite decreased less in the UA group than in the FABP group.

Published: February 2023

State control over the drug quality is a key component of the healthcare system aimed at provision of patients with safe and effective medicinal products [1]. Stable development of this direction was closely associated with update of testing laboratories, which performed the function, and was characterized as a stable growth of laboratory competencies in the field of not just implementation of new analytical methods, but also in the systemic approach to improvement of skills and knowledge of personnel directly involved in laboratory research. A common approach reflected in accreditation criteria for compliance with GOST ISO 17025 means that the testing laboratory has a plan for internal and external education. However, conventional attitude to this issue does not lead to the desired practical effect. Then the laboratory is urged to find additional ways of development. Formation of competence centers by a certain vector of knowledge on the basis of testing centers can be a perspective option of the systemic approach to updating skills of the personnel. The Yaroslavl branch of the Information Center for Expertise, Accounting and Analysis of Circulation of Human Medicinal Products of the Federal Supervisory Agency for Healthcare and basic department of innovative pharmacy of the Yaroslavl State Medical University that successfully uses the basis can serve as examples of such an approach.
Algeria’s cautious return to the world stage
Authors:   Associate Senior Researcher, CIDOB, Ghilès Francis
Published: February 2023

The sharp increase in gas prices and France’s withdrawal from Mali have boosted Algeria’s international profile. As Algeria returns cautiously to the world stage, the French and Algerian presidents are engaging in a serious strategic conversation. This dialogue is however complicated by France’s reluctance to address the question of contamination from nuclear tests carried out in the Sahara in the 1960s. The French military exit from Mali has seen regional countries – rather than the United States and France – taking the lead on enhancing security in the Sahel under the auspices of the Comité d’Etat Major Opérationnel Conjoint (CEMOC), which groups the army chiefs of Algeria, Mali, Mauritania and Niger. Even so, Algeria is unlikely to be able to fully capitalise on France’s departure and regain the influence, indeed the swagger, it enjoyed internationally in the 1970s and 80s. The reason: Algeria’s failure to enact bold economic reforms, depriving the country of a much more vibrant economy.

Pandemi covid-19 telah mengubah banyak aspek kehidupan salah satunya pendidikan, transformasi dan akselerasi pendidikan yang menjadi tantangan yang juga harus dihadapi oleh pemerintah dan institusi pendidikan yaitu perubahan media pembelajaran yang digunakan mahasiswa berbasis daring selama pandemi covid-19. Hampir semua sekolah dan universitas di Indonesia menerapkan pembelajaran online atau daring. Media yang digunakan mahasiswa adalah Lentera, Google Meet, WhatsApp, Zoom Meeting, Youtube, dan lain lain. penelitian ini adalah studi literatur dan metode kualitatif yang dilakukan dengan metode wawancara. Hasil belajar memiliki dampak positif yang terjadi pada pembelajaran online, berdasarkan kesimpulan hasil penelitian kami dengan metode wawancara yaitu banyak yang berpendapat bahwa pembelajaran online ini dapat meminimalkan dan mengurangi penyebaran covid-19 karena pembelajaran ini banyak dilakukan di rumah. Sedangkan dampak negatif dari pembelajaran online ialah kurangnya pemahaman terhadap materi yang disampaikan oleh dosen dan hambatan dari segi koneksi internet yang kurang stabil serta keterbatasan kuota. Berbagai penggunaan media ajar maupun platform pendidikan kiranya dapat menjadi alternatif solusi dalam pembelajaran, demi kelangsungan pembelajaran pada setiap satuan pendidikan.

El debate educativo de 1978 a través de Twitter. Una experiencia de formación de profesorado
Authors: Tárraga-Mínguez Raúl , Gómez-Marí Irene
Published: February 2023

La comprensión del debate político que provocó la Constitución Española de 1978 en materia de educación puede resultar una tarea complicada para los futuros docentes. No obstante, se trata de un conocimiento de notable interés en la formación del profesorado. Con el fin de facilitar el aprendizaje de la legislación y paliar ese sentimiento de rechazo, estudios previos se han servido de Twitter como una herramienta facilitadora del aprendizaje. Por ello, el objetivo del presente estudio es doble: a partir de una actividad llevada a cabo en la formación inicial de futuros docentes, analizar la percepción del grado de conocimientos y motivación de los estudiantes implicados con el uso de esta metodología; y, comparar la percepción del grado de aprendizaje adquirido y la motivación experimentada con otras dos prácticas docentes habituales. En total, 30 estudiantes cumplimentaron un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc para la presente investigación. Los resultados muestran que, tanto el nivel de conocimiento como el de motivación percibida por los estudiantes, usando Twitter, fue elevado. Además, estos niveles reportados eran más elevados que con el uso de las otras dos metodologías más tradicionales propuestas. Ello podría deberse a que el uso de referencias digitales cercanas al alumnado aumenta el atractivo de las tareas y permite acercar la enseñanza al proceso de aprendizaje de los universitarios.

Published: February 2023

Die ergriffenen Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung der COVID-19-Pandemie sowie Einstellungs- und Verhaltensänderungen der Konsumenten haben sich global auf Lebensmittelwertschöpfungsketten ausgewirkt. Um die Auswirkungen von COVID-19 auf die österreichische Landwirtschaft zu untersuchen, wurden im Frühjahr 2021 Interviews mit 34 Landwirt:innen geführt. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse wird deutlich, dass die vielfältigen und heterogenen Auswirkungen von COVID-19 auf landwirtschaftliche Betriebe sowohl Chancen als auch Herausforderungen verursachen. Zu den negativen Auswirkungen zählen Absatzschwierigkeiten durch die Schließung von Gastronomie und Märkten, das Verbot nichtlandwirtschaftlicher Aktivitäten, die gestörte Verfügbarkeit von Arbeitskräften und Betriebsmitteln sowie Belastungen der Landwirt:innen. Die Mitigation negativer Auswirkungen durch staatliche Hilfen und Interessenvertretung zeigte eine begrenzte Wirksamkeit. Dennoch wurde die Funktionsfähigkeit der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion aufgrund geringfügiger direkter Auswirkungen und adäquater Anpassungen aufrechterhalten. Positive Auswirkungen resultieren aus der gestiegenen Nachfrage in der Direktvermarktung und im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel, der verbesserten Wahrnehmung der Landwirtschaft in der Gesellschaft und Vorteilen im Privatleben der Landwirt:innen. Langfristige Veränderungen der landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe werden vor allem durch Digitalisierung, Investitionen und Anpassungen der Vermarktung ausgelöst.
Aktuelle Praxis und künftige Herausforderungen der Klärschlammbewirtschaftung unter Berücksichtigung von Kleinkläranlagen und kleinen Kläranlagen am Beispiel von Oberösterreich
Authors: Sacken Johannes , Langergraber Günter , Kretschmer Florian
Published: February 2023

Die Klärschlammbewirtschaftung in Österreich befindet sich im Umbruch. Künftig soll die Phosphorrückgewinnung forciert werden, gleichzeitig verliert die landwirtschaftliche Ausbringung immer weiter an Bedeutung. Aktuelle politische Konzepte fokussieren sich primär auf die (wenigen) größeren Kläranlagen, allerdings haben auch die (vielen) kleinen Anlagen einen Bedarf an tragfähigen Lösungen für die Zukunft. Um einen Überblick über die aktuelle Praxis der Klärschlammbewirtschaftung unter spezieller Berücksichtigung von Kleinkläranlagen und kleinen Kläranlagen zu schaffen, wird in diesem Beitrag am Beispiel von Oberösterreich ein Inventar aller Kläranlagen im Land erstellt und darauf aufbauend anlagenspezifisch der Klärschlammanfall dargestellt und wichtige derzeit gängige Verwertungspfade genauer beleuchtet. Die präsentierten Erkenntnisse sollen dazu beitragen, die Fachwelt sowie die politischen Entscheidungsträger in Bezug auf die Bedürfnisse der „kleineren“ Kläranlagen zu sensibilisieren, damit auch diese bei der Entwicklung von geeigneten und tragfähigen Zukunftskonzepten der Klärschlammbewirtschaftung Berücksichtigung finden.
Trends in the use of commissives in the informal judicial system of Sulha

This article investigates the trends in using commissive speech in Sulha proceedings in Jordan. Sulha focuses on a dispute-resolution system in Arab society that uses the Bedouin Arabic dialect as the primary language of communication. Qualitative and quantitative research designs involving descriptive and survey instruments were used in this study. The data for the study were collected as audio recordings of some incidents taken from Sulha samples. Some of the data are from interviews with Sulha participants and the synthesis of archived disputes related to cases previously handled by Sulha. The data analysis was done according to the scope of Speech Act theory to show the trends adopted in the Sulha tribunals in making commitments by different participants in solving disputes. This study finds that the informal legal setting in the Sulha tribunals determines the patterns exhibited by commissive speech acts and their frequencies during the Sulha proceedings. A number of eight commissive speech acts are realised in the Sulha proceedings: promise, swear, vow, threat, guarantee, warning, acceptance, and offer. The eight commissive speech acts are realised either explicitly or implicitly. The results further reveal some of the commissive speech acts can elicit other commissives, and a number of commissives can also be resultant forces of other speech acts, such as the acts of directives. The finding of this study is expected to help understand how forms of language used in the Sulha enhance the adoption and discharge of commitment during the Sulha proceedings.

This study investigated the use of i-THINK Mapping in teaching reading comprehension by ESL teachers to a group of Form Five students, and the factors and challenges the ESL teachers faced in teaching reading comprehension using i-THINK Mapping. A qualitative approach, specifically a case study design, was employed in this study. Classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis of their lesson plans were used to collect the data. Four ESL teachers with a minimum of 5-year teaching experience in a rural secondary school in Hulu Selangor, Malaysia, were selected using a purposive sampling technique to participate in this study. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data obtained from classroom observations and interviews. The findings show that the teachers had applied five i-THINK maps, including a Circle Map to define in context, a Bubble Map to describe, a Double Bubble Map to compare and contrast, a Flow Map to show the sequence of an event, and a Tree Map to classify different ideas. The i-THINK Mapping motivated the students to discuss, brainstorm, and cooperate with their peers to detect the details from the given reading texts. The teachers’ challenges include the time constraints in preparing the lesson with i-THINK Mapping and a low level of student English proficiency. One implication of this study is that teachers’ use of i-THINK Mapping to teach reading comprehension could assist students in generating ideas, expanding ideas, and expressing them orally.
Students’ perception toward the use of open educational resources to improve writing skills
Authors: Zulaiha Dewi , Triana Yunika
Published: February 2023

Open educational resources (OER) can be used by English as a foreign language (EFL) students to improve their language skills, such as writing skills. The purpose of this study was to find out the students’ perception of using OER in improving their writing skills and to identify factors that affected their perception. A quantitative approach in the form of a descriptive survey design was used in this study. The study was conducted at Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Mas Said Surakarta, Indonesia, with 270 EFL students as the participants. The survey adopted two previous studies in which the data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, Pearson product-moment, and multiple regression analysis. The finding revealed that most students had positive perceptions toward using OER to improve their writing skills. Perceptions of using OER were influenced by interest factors (type of writing activity, type of learning writing delivery), experience factors (teaching effectiveness in the writing skills, cost of education), and from the participants, including gender. It is crucial to maximize the use of OER from different aspects, including quality, value, cognitive, affective, and course quality, particularly to increase their perception toward using OER in improving writing skills.
