In the business world, understanding the relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction is important. Businesses that offer services play a crucial role in ensuring their service quality aligns with customer expectations, ultimately leading to customer satisfaction. By prioritizing service quality, businesses can build customer loyalty, gain a competitive edge, and foster positive word-of-mouth, all of which contribute to the overall success and growth. This study aimed to determine the service quality and customer satisfaction of Rhett’s Printing Services in Bagtas, Tanza, Cavite. Participants evaluate the service quality and customer satisfaction of Rhett’s Printing based on the SERVQUAL model, which measures five dimensions of service quality: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. As a result, it is revealed that in terms of customer perceptions of service quality of Rhett’s printing service, the participants strongly agree with the five qualities of the services provided by the Rhett’s Printing Services, and they consistently deliver outstanding service quality as perceived by customers. It is also revealed that the participants are very satisfied with the service of Rhett’s Printing Services. The researchers identified specific areas for service enhancement, aligning with the proposed plan for improvement at Rhett’s Printing Services. The focus is on renovating or relocating the studio, fixing lights, and upgrading equipment aims to create a more comfortable environment and efficient execution of service process, aligning with contemporary expectations of service quality and contributing significantly to customer satisfaction.

Makina Elemanları Çözümlü Problemler
Authors: Koç Erdem
Published: February 2024

Makina elemanları makinaları oluşturan elemanların hesaplama ve şekillendirme prensiplerini inceleyen bir bilim dalıdır. Bir makinanın fonksiyonunu yerine getirebilmesi için gerekli olan makina elemanları, mekanik özellikleri, zorlanma durumları ve şekillendirilmeleri açısından çok çeşitli özelliklere sahip olabilmektedir. Bu nedenle makina elemanlarının mukavemet hesapları, uygun malzeme seçimi ve üretim yöntemleri konstrüksiyon veya tasarımda önemli rol oynamaktadır. Üniversite seviyesinde teknik öğrenim gören mühendis adayı öğrenciler ve endüstride çalışan mühendislerle araştırmacılara yararlı olabilmesi ümidiyle daha önceden hazırlanan, Makina Elemanları I ve II dersleri içeriğine büyük oranda uygun iki cilt halinde basılan kitaplarda, öğrenmeyi kolaylaştırmak amacıyla her konunun sonunda uygulama ve konstrüksiyon örnekleri konulmuştu. Ancak, makina elemanlarının çok ve çeşitli olmaları nedeniyle ikinci ciltte bazı konular işlenememiş, daha yararlı olabileceği düşüncesiyle Makina Elemanları Cilt-1 ve Cilt-2 konularına ek olarak kayış-kasnak mekanizmaları ve dişli çarklar konularının özet halinde verildiği yeterli çözümlü problemleri içeren 3. cilt olarak değerlendirilebilecek bu kitap hazırlanmıştır.

THE IDIOLECT OF REVEREND ECONOMOS DIMITAR POPNIKOLOV PETKANOV
Authors: ILIEVA Teodora G.
Published: February 2024

A less studied talented author and brother of the popular fiction writer Konstantin Petkanov, priest
Dimitar wrote in the 1950s. This publication analyzes several parameters of his idiolect: phonetic peculiarities (reflex of ѣ, ѫ,
ъ; epenthetic [l]; reflexes of the [tʃ] [dʒ] groups; phonetic dialectisms; phonetic doublets); morphological paradigm (case
inflections; noun form for number; dualis; nomina collectiva; extended Church Slavonic suffix for adjectives; dialectal and
contracted pronoun forms; a temporal system characterized by high frequency of the verbs in terms of origin, distribution and
stylistic differentiation); lexical specifics (in terms of origin, distribution and stylistic differentiation). Emphasis is placed on
those lexical layers that constitute and ditinguish the author’s language. Hapaxes (produced using morphological and nonmorphological methods), rare words, semantic transponents, dialectisms, colloquial vocabulary and foreign words are studied.
All linguistic phenomena are examined retrospectively and in comparison with the synchronous linguistic situation before and
after the orthographic reform of 1945 in order to highlight the innovative contribution and the mechanisms through which the
author enriched the contemporary Bulgarian vocabulary. Occasionalisms, dialectal and archaic units occur more often in
Petkanov’s poetic works than in his fiction. The source material has been excerpted from Volume 1 (January – March) and
Volume 2 (April – June) of the hagiographic tetralogy “The Year of Our Lord“ and the memoir “A Book about My Brother –
the Writer Konstantin N. Petkanov“, which were published a few years ago by Dimitar Petkanov’s heirs.
PROSPECTIVITY OF FINALIZATION IN SERHIY ZHADAN’S NOVEL THE ORPHANAGE
Authors: SHTEINBUK Feliks
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to Serhiy Zhadan’s novel The Orphanage, which is considered by modern
criticism mainly from a socio-political and ethical perspective because of the theme of war as the final crisis of a long complex
history. The purpose of the research is to propose an interpretation of Zhadan’s novel The Orphanage based on the principles
of hermeneutic and comparative-typological methods, as well as applying elements of narrative analysis taking into account
the artistic potential of a finalization phenomenon. As a result, the prospective nature of finalization is justified and the
appropriate typology of this poetic phenomenon is singled out. According to the actual version, the typology consists of four
types, namely, extra plot-spatial, oneiric-imaginary, eidetic, and narrative ones. These types correlate with each other, hence,
a whole poetic block emerges, which actualizes the new meanings presented in the work, and deepens the content of the novel’s
loci communes. In particular, the listing of three days in the titles of the novel’s chapters indicates a real continuation of the
list. Moreover, the title of the novel against such a background expresses its ontological content, which is additionally
underscored by oneiric-imaginary pictures and the eidetic way of representing these images; instead, the diegetic shift due to
the change of narrators returns the novel narrative from the level of ontological-existential symbolism to the level of personal
formation of the novel subject.
Enhancing Mini Volleyball Forearm Passing Performance with Small-Sided Games and Drill Practice
Authors: Cruz Roxanne R. dela
Published: February 2024

Forearm passing is a crucial aspect of volleyball, but young students often find themselves in need of guidance during their Physical Education (PE) classes. This study determined the effectiveness of small-sided games and drill practice in enhancing forearm passing skills. A quasi-experimental design was employed, utilizing complete enumeration sampling. The sample consisted of 26 learners from each group who participated in small-sided games and drill practice. The interventions were carried out over six weeks, including the pretest and post-test phases. Given the vulnerability of the participants, who were kindergartners and first graders, all necessary ethical protocols were strictly observed. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests for independent samples, and t-tests for paired samples. The results show that both interventions revealed increased scores in their forearm passing skills from Fair to Good levels. Moreover, both groups demonstrated comparable effectiveness in improving passing skills in mini volleyball, with no statistically significant difference between the two. These findings suggest that both interventions can enhance forearm passing skills in mini volleyball, offering flexibility in training approaches without compromising performance improvement. Furthermore, further investigation into the specific elements of small-sided games and drill practice that contribute to skill improvement in mini-volleyball could be beneficial.
Neuritis Óptica. Diagnóstico, tratamiento y causas
Authors: Briones Vélez Camila Alejandra , Villao Rivadeneira Karla Adamarys , Ortíz Castro Ariana Celeste
Published: February 2024

Dentro de la extensa gama de alteraciones visuales que existen hoy en día, destaca la Neuritis Óptica (NO) una afección que se caracteriza por la presencia de un proceso inflamatorio que desmieliniza y por ende daña de forma progresiva el nervio óptico que es el conducto responsable de transmisión para los impulsos en las capas internas de la retina hacia el exterior en uno o ambos ojos. Su diagnóstico esta dado por resonancia magnética (RM), tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCT) y otros exámenes físicos y de laboratorio. Generalmente está asociada a la aparición posterior de esclerosis múltiple ya que esta es una enfermedad desmielinizante que provoca inflamación lo que degenera varios nervios cerebrales incluyendo el nervio óptico, sin embargo, no se descarta la posibilidad de estar asociada a otras enfermedades o infecciones inmunitarias, como lo es el lupus. Esto genera síntomas como dolor ocular acompañado de la pérdida gradual de la agudeza visual incluyendo la disminución en la percepción cromática y campo visual lo que determina una complicación a largo plazo para el desarrollo de actividades diarias en quienes la padecen, es por esto por lo que, es imprescindible tener el conocimiento preciso de la enfermedad y sus síntomas para así poder diagnosticarla a tiempo y aplicar un tratamiento para así evitar repercusiones permanentes.
Tres Técnicas Gestálticas Grupales Aplicadas a Estudiantes Sobrevivientes de Abuso Sexual
Authors: Quevedo Fuentes Martha Patricia , Godínez Alarcón Guadalupe
Published: February 2024

Se describe el abordaje y aplicación de tres técnicas gestálticas: “Hacer la ronda, Silla caliente y Sueños en Gestalt”, con el objetivo de dotar de recursos emocionales a los estudiantes de Psicología, sobrevivientes de abuso sexual para que puedan resignificar el abuso y a través del proceso terapéutico encauzarlos hacia su crecimiento personal. Se aplicaron pretests y postests de los siguientes instrumentos: Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (EAR), con la cual se exploró la autoestima de los estudiantes. También se aplicó el Inventario de Depresión de Beck II, que mide la presencia de síntomas de depresión. Al finalizar la intervención grupal, se aplicaron postests en los que se observó que la Escala de Autoestima reveló un incremento significativo en la autoestima de los participantes; asimismo, se observó una disminución importante en los niveles de depresión arrojados por el BDI II. Se propone la intervención terapéutica dirigida a los estudiantes a través de procesos grupales frecuentes, con el fin de crear áreas donde puedan externar situaciones de abuso sexual.
Huellas de Chocos
Authors: Gutiérrez Borda Alberto
Published: February 2024

El libro está inspirado en su historia, los misterios que encierra, vivencias hecho cuentos, conviven extraños sucesos de la naturaleza, misterios impregnados de pasión, un libro de relatos y cuentos fácil de leer, los personajes que aparecen no están lejos de la realidad. Los cuentos están parcialmente basados en gente que conozco o en sucesos de la vida real, he caminado y conversado mucho con personas del lugar, cuando uno escucha, nos hace sentir orgulloso de reconsiderar la sabiduría de nuestros ancestros y aprender es toda una filosofía de vida. El libro tiene algunos pasajes en runa simi, quechua, una lealtad a nuestra identidad cultural, a nuestra historia, un idioma ancestral que va camino a su extinción, la idea es seguir varios linderos que te llevan a ver una cosmovisión que sea guía y vínculo con el mundo. La gente andina no sólo tiene voces propias, inventan con mucha habilidad las formas de vivir, interactuar, está presente su sensibilidad, su pensamiento, el grado de espiritualidad, eso contagia. Presento diez cuentos que son las huellas de Chocos, algunos de los cuales tiene reminiscencia de relatos míticos, pueden tener componentes fantasiosos, pero no salen de la nada, son construidos tomando elementos de contextos culturales, sociales, espaciales; creencias del poblador de antaño. Quien recorre los caminos de este pueblo, puede observar cerro, mucho de los cuales son Apus o Wamanis, como dijo mi madre “dioses de los cerros del pueblo”. Todos se ven, las quebradas, lomas, estancias solitarias alejadas de los centros poblados, las caricias del viento, ríos, escuchar los balidos o mugidos de los rebaños, los ladridos de los perros pastores, el disfrute del vuelo de las aves, campos de cultivo, floración de la papa, las pastoras, y los actantes humanos son los personajes comuneros del lugar, los mayores de antaño. Los actantes, presentan contextos de otras épocas, casi todos los cuentos adquieren signos míticos, que durante el viaje del tiempo han sido contados por generaciones, hoy apenas quedan huellas borrosas de su origen. Escribir es un acto de comprensión del mundo, una necesidad de curar nuestras propias heridas, pero la mayor parte de estas antiquísimas historias se la debo a mi madre, Maxi, una mujer muy comunicativa, nos contaba por las noches, todos sus hijos nos quedábamos quietecitos para oírlo, calladitos, incluso hay momentos en que temblábamos de miedo, parecía que pronto llegaría a nosotros, era difícil salir a los patios, ante el miedo a la oscuridad, en esos tiempos la vela o mechero eran el único medio para alumbrar, la noche y la oscuridad siempre se imponía, uno se asustaba hasta de la sombra de nuestro propio cuerpo. Finalmente, cuando visitas este pueblo, casi todos te hablan de Yanapaqcha, idealizan su presencia, de inmediato sientes que recibes una fuerza especial y, te vienen cosas míticas en la cabeza, la imaginación fluye. Chocos tiene una carretera sinuosa, legendario en el que el sabor bucólico del campo es poético, los paisajes de altura han gestado estos cuentos como epopeyas de cariño y permiten saciar tu fantasía.
Gastropod assemblages in the harsh environment of Mediterranean Dinaric karst intermittent rivers
Authors: Vilenica Marina , Lajtner Jasna , Rebrina Fran , Matoničkin Kepčija Renata , Rumišek Mario , Brigić Andreja
Published: February 2024

Freshwater snails inhabit a wide range of freshwater habitats, including the intermittent ones, specific adaptations enabling them to survive the dry phase for an extended period of time. Despite an increasing scientific interest in biota occurring in intermittent freshwater habitats, our knowledge about environmental factors shaping freshwater gastropod assemblages in such habitats is still poor. Therefore, this study aimed to assess gastropod assemblage composition in four karst intermittent rivers in the Mediterranean during the lotic phase, compare gastropod taxa richness and abundance among the rivers, and determine their relationships with environmental variables. A total of six taxa was recorded, with each river harbouring a unique, species-poor (up to three species) assemblage. Gastropod assemblages were influenced by the physico-chemical water properties, especially the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water, conductivity, and chemical oxygen demand. Our results provide a basis for further research on freshwater snail assemblages in the Mediterranean karst intermittent rivers, as the need to protect these vulnerable ecosystems and develop adequate monitoring practices becomes imperative due to climate change and anthropogenic pressures.
Active Surveillance for Low-Risk Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma as an Acceptable Management Option with Additional Benefits: A Comprehensive Systematic Review
Authors: Yoon Jee Hee , Choi Wonsuk , Park Ji Yong , Hong A Ram , Kim Hee Kyung , Kang Ho-Cheol

Background: Active surveillance (AS) has been introduced as a management strategy for low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) due to its typically indolent nature. Despite this, the widespread adoption of AS has encountered several challenges. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the safety of AS related to disease progression and its benefits compared with immediate surgery (IS).Methods: Studies related to AS in patients with low-risk PTC were searched through the Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and KoreaMed databases. Studies on disease progression, surgical complication, quality of life (QoL), and cost-effectiveness were separately analyzed and narratively synthesized.Results: In the evaluation of disease progression, the proportions of cases with tumor growth ≥3 mm and a volume increase >50% were 2.2%–10.8% and 16.0%–25.5%, respectively. Newly detected lymph node metastasis was identified in 0.0%–1.4% of patients. No significant difference was found between IS and delayed surgery in surgical complications, including vocal cord paralysis and postoperative hypoparathyroidism. AS was associated with better QoL than IS. Studies on the cost-effectiveness of AS reported inconsistent data, but AS was more cost-effective when quality-adjusted life years were considered.Conclusion: AS is an acceptable management option for patients with low-risk PTC based on the low rate of disease progression and the absence of an increased mortality risk. AS has additional benefits, including improved QoL and greater QoL-based cost-effectiveness.

Background: Hepatic steatosis, which involves the excessive accumulation of lipid droplets in hepatocytes, presents a significant global health concern due to its association with obesity and metabolic disorders. Inflammation plays a crucial role in the progression of hepatic steatosis; however, the precise molecular mechanisms responsible for this process remain unknown.Methods: This study investigated the involvement of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor pyrin domain-containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and the forkhead box O6 (FoxO6) transcription factor in the pathogenesis of hepatic steatosis. We monitored the NLRP3 inflammasome and lipogenesis in mice overexpressing the constitutively active (CA)-FoxO6 allele and FoxO6-null mice. In an in vitro study, we administered palmitate to liver cells overexpressing CA-FoxO6 and measured changes in lipid metabolism.Results: We administered palmitate treatment to clarify the mechanisms through which FoxO6 activates cytokine interleukin (IL)-1β through the NLRP3 inflammasome. The initial experiments revealed that dephosphorylation led to palmitate-induced FoxO6 transcriptional activity. Further palmitate experiments showed increased expression of IL-1β and the hepatic NLRP3 inflammasome complex, including adaptor protein apoptotic speck protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC) and pro-caspase-1. Furthermore, thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), a key regulator of cellular redox conditions upstream of the NLRP3 inflammasome, was induced by FoxO6 in the liver and HepG2 cells.Conclusion: The findings of this study shed light on the molecular mechanisms underpinning the FoxO6-NLRP3 inflammasome axis in promoting inflammation and lipid accumulation in the liver.

Despite the successes that are liberating South Africans and changing educational policies, many citizens are still trapped in poverty and chronic unemployment, and the country remains a highly unequal society. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the nature of the symbiotic relationship between the Technical; Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges National Certificate; Vocational (NCV) programme; and NDP 2030 objectives. The qualitative research approach was adopted with a Case study design. Purposive sampling was used to select eight TVET college lecturers. The interpretive paradigm was used to describe the nature of the relationship the college has with other stakeholders. Data was collected through individual semi-structured interviews and analysed through a thematic approach. The findings revealed a lack of communication, poor relationships with relevant stakeholders, and infrastructural and resources as attributes that impede practices within TVET colleges. The other major challenge that emerged from this study is the lack of a responsive policy system which compromises practices within TVET colleges. Based on empirical evidence, it was recommended that the college requires a fully responsive TVET policy and synergistic efforts, pulling all resources together in achieving these objectives. The ultimate outcome contributes key knowledge that advances proper communication and a healthy relationship with different stakeholders that should be established and maintained for the success of TVET colleges.

We report the discovery of an active asteroid, 2016 UU121, for the first time via artificial intelligence-enhanced classification, informed by our NASA Partner program Active Asteroids, a Citizen Science project hosted on the Zooniverse platform. The early version of our deep neural network, TailNet, identified potential activity associated with 2016 UU121 in 40 Dark Energy Camera (DECam) images from UT 2021 September 10 to 11. The discovery was vetted and confirmed by our Active Asteroids core science team. In total, 66 DECam images of this object showed clear activity in the form of a tail. 2016 UU121 has a Tisserand parameter with respect to Jupiter of 3.161, thus we classify the object as an active asteroid. Moreover, the activity occurred near perihelion, so 2016 UU121 is also a candidate Main-belt comet.

A review of published evidence indicates that Bactricia nematodes Kirby, 1894 is a nomen nudum because it is an unavailable name. The specimen collected during the Lund University Swedish South African Expedition and reported by this name is a male of Bactricia bituberculata (Schaum, 1857).
Diversity of an Odonata assemblage from a tropical dry forest in San Buenaventura, Jalisco, Mexico (Insecta, Odonata)
Authors: González Soriano Enrique , Noguera Felipe , Pérez-Hernández Cisteil
Published: February 2024

The patterns of richness, diversity, and abundance of an odonate assemblage from San Buenaventura, Jalisco are presented here. A total of 1087 specimens from seven families, 35 genera and 66 species were obtained through monthly samplings of five days each during a period of one year. Libellulidae was the most diverse family (28 species), followed by Coenagrionidae (21), Gomphidae (7), Aeshnidae (6), Calopterygidae (2), Lestidae (1) and Platystictidae (1). Argia was the most speciose genus. The highest species richness and Shannon diversity were found during August and September, whereas the highest abundance was observed in June and the highest Simpson diversity was recorded in September — all of which were associated with the rainy season. The highest values of phylogenetic diversity were found from June to October. The different diversity facets of this assemblage were positively correlated with precipitation and minimum temperature, whereas maximum temperature showed no influence. In addition, we found that this odonate diversity was higher than most Mexican localities with tropical dry forest (TDF) studied.

We continue our efforts to describe the patterns of richness, diversity and abundance of some insect groups associated with the tropical dry forest ecosystem in Mexico, following a latitudinal gradient of the distribution of this ecosystem in the country. Our emphasis here was to evaluate the spatial and temporal patterns of richness and diversity of an Odonata assemblage from Jalisco, Mexico.

Published: February 2024

The database we introduce is a pivotal component of the LIFE SNAILS project (Support and Naturalisation in Areas of Importance for Land Snails). This initiative is dedicated to safeguarding three endangered species of terrestrial molluscs, specifically, two snails (Oxychilus agostinhoi Martins 1981 and Leptaxis minor Backhuys, 1975) and a semi-slug (Plutonia angulosa (Morelet, 1860)), all of which are single island endemics from Santa Maria Island and face significant threats towards their populations.

In this study, we established a comprehensive database derived from a long-term arthropod monitoring campaign utilising SLAM (Sea, Land, Air, Malaise) traps. Although molluscs were not the primary focus, our findings serve as a credible proxy for evaluating the overall habitat quality for endemic invertebrates, with arthropods serving as principal indicators. From September to December of 2022, a total of 11 SLAM traps were installed and monitored monthly in eleven sites of mixed forests of Santa Maria Island.

Based on the 33 available samples (11 sites x 3 sampling periods), we recorded a total of 118 taxa of arthropods (of which 94 were identified at species or subspecies level), belonging to three classes, 14 orders and 62 families. From the 94 identified taxa, a total of 21 species were endemic, 31 native non-endemic, 32 introduced and 10 indeterminate. We also provide additional information of the habitat quality (Index of Biotic Integrity), including general habitat and dominant species composition.

We registered three new records to the Island, the native bug Piezodorus lituratus (Fabricius, 1794) (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae), the Azorean endemic beetle Phloeosinus gillerforsi Bright, 1987 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) and the exotic ant Hypoponera punctatissima (Roger, 1859) (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) and one new record for the Azores Archipelago, the native beetle Cephennium validum Assing & Meybohm, 2021 (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scydmaeninae).

This publication not only contributes to the conservation of highly threatened endemic molluscs, through an assessment of habitat quality, based on arthropod communities and habitat description (e.g. native or exotic vegetation), but also provides an updated inventory of arthropods from Santa Maria Island.

Authors: Beke Eva , Tick Andrea
Published: February 2024

The purpose of the study is to examine how Industry 4.0, and the digital environment, have together created a new situation for companies and universities in terms of soft skills for employability. While companies aim to introduce a new structure, universities try to align with these changes by developing new educational methods, curricula, and models. Many researches are focusing on - rightfully so - Industry 4.0 skills and competences to gain throughout higher education. However, we have shifted our research interest and asked students to what degree their university years added to their knowledge, self-management and skills. 147 engineering and technical manager students’ responses from two faculties at Óbuda University, Hungary were analyzed to see their evaluations of the role of the university in the framework of Education 4.0, and their chances in the job market. Quantitative and CHAID analyses were used. Students’ responses show significant differences between the two faculties regarding languages, teamwork, self-management and in the different order of the skills seen as most paramount to employability. Engineering students attach greater importance to field-relevant knowledge, while technical manager students find decision-making more useful. The research proved that Education 4.0 is here and Z generation studying at universities prefers problem-based learning, including creativity, analytical, and critical thinking while would like to have good communication skills. Universities need to adapt to these changes and integrate hard as well as soft skills development in tutoring. The importance of technical-IT knowledge is just as important as having interpersonal skills, excellence in problem-solving, so students need to be taught how to analyze problems, engage in scientific debate, or express themselves clearly as previous literature indicated.

Published: February 2024

The application of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in a Reinforced Concrete course through the development of a real-life civil engineering project from its conception, as a coursework, is a challenged experience for students. As long as the coursework evolves, students develop real ways to think as an engineer and they work in an environment similar to that of daily engineering practice.The effect of the PBL implementation on learning and acquisition of knowledge and skills in a Reinforced Concrete subject from the [University] in [Country] has been analyzed through some evidences such as the partial and final grades, the results of a survey and the perceptions drawn from students’ interviews. As observed, thanks to the application of the PBL strategy, learning and motivation of students has increased, in addition to the final summative assessment, without a significant increase on the workload. This methodology improves not only the acquisition of knowledge and engineering skills, but also transversal skills such as entrepreneurship, leadership, communication, time management, teamwork and other social abilities directly related to those required by the current market for their future professional life.
Effects of colored lighting on learning processes: Towards a smart classroom
Authors: Quiles-Rodríguez Jose , Palau Ramon
Published: February 2024

Colour in the classroom, either in isolation or in conjunction with other environmental factors, is an element that has been widely discussed in the scientific literature, albeit not systematically. On the other hand, its evolution towards coloured light, made possible in recent years by light emitting diode (LED) technology, has hardly found a place among researchers. Despite the progressive rise of smart classrooms, intelligent learning environments or references by some authors to "dynamic lighting", its analogous concept, "dynamic colour", hardly appears in reviews of the scientific literature. This exploratory, quasi-experimental study shows how coloured light affects the learning process in primary school classroom environments, integrating cognitive processes, instrumental learning and affective processes, and helping to define the dynamic potential of its use. The experimental part has been carried out for four weeks, collecting data that are analysed descriptively, comparatively with the control group and in the internal variance of the experimental group. The results show positive influence tendencies in the cognitive and affective processes of the students, although not so much in instrumental learning.
Students’ peer feedback engagements in online English courses facilitated by a social network in Thailand
Authors: Waluyo Budi , Panmei Benjamin
Published: February 2024

Despite the extensive research on peer feedback in recent years, there is limited understanding of how students engage in peer feedback activities within online English courses and their expectations during these activities. Hence, using a sequential explanatory mixed methods design with a phenomenological approach, this study integrated online peer feedback (OPF) activities into a 12-week online English writing course involving 30 second-year students (16.7% male, 83.3% female) facilitated by a Facebook group. Data were collected through survey questionnaires, written reflections, and task scores. Descriptive statistics and bivariate correlations were used to analyze the quantitative data, while thematic analysis was employed for the qualitative data. Three findings emerged: 1) EFL students exhibited positive engagements in OPF activities, 2) Students' engagements were not significantly correlated with their writing outcomes, and 3) Students provided recommendations for improving the quality and quantity of feedback, incorporating teacher feedback and guidance, and enhancing the overall process and experience. Based on these findings, integrating OPF activities into the academic curriculum is suggested, with a focus on providing guidance to students for delivering descriptive and constructive feedback, offering scaffolding to enhance their comprehension, and writing skills, and addressing concerns related to language proficiency and grammar.

The study aimed to investigate the effect of computer simulation and animation-integrated instruction on pre-service science teacher trainees' conceptual understanding and retention of acid-base chemistry and stoichiometry. A quantitative approach with a pretest–posttest-delayed test quasi-experimental design was used. In the study area, there were only two sections of first-year trainees in the natural science department. So a comprehensive sampling technique of the two intact sections was employed. The two intact classes were randomly assigned to an intervention group (IG) and a comparison group (CG). Data was collected using Acid-Base Chemistry and Stoichiometry Conceptual Understanding of a two-tier multiple-choice Test (ABSCUT). Parametric statistics (independent sample t-test and ANCOVA) were used for the data analysis. The independent sample t-test was used for the pre-test analysis to examine the prerequisite experiences of trainees in the two groups and male and female trainees in the IG before the intervention. The result showed no significant difference between the mean score of the CG and IG. The result also showed no significant difference in the mean score of male and female trainees in the IG. The ANCOVA was used for post-test and delayed test analysis after the intervention. The result indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups on conceptual understanding, F (1, 49) =5.07, p=.029, partial eta squared=0.094, in favor of IG. This tends to imply the concepts of the trainees who received the intervention outperformed the comparison group. The ANCOVA result also indicated that gender difference has no statistically significant difference in the IG, F(1,24)=3.68, p=.067. The delayed-test analysis showed that the IG has higher retention than the CG. Based on the results, this study recommended that policymakers, chemistry curriculum experts, chemistry curricular material developers, and practitioners alike consider the application of computer simulation-integrated chemistry instruction to enhance learners’ conceptual understanding and retention.
