Risk Factors for Central Obesity in Women 45-54 Years of Age in Indonesia (Riskesdas 2018 Analysis)
Authors: Rahmawati Dwi , Djuwita Ratna
Published: September 2024

The prevalence of central obesity in Indonesia, especially in women aged 45-54 years, has increased according to the results of the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas, Riset Kesehatan Dasar). Central obesity is associated with a higher risk of diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. This study aimed to identify factors associated with the incidence of central obesity in women aged 45-54 years in Indonesia using the 2018 Riskesdas data with a cross-sectional study design. The study sample consisted of 60,557 individuals, with 64.54% having central obesity. Marital status (PR=1.12; 95%CI 1.09-1.15), low physical activity (PR=1.18; 95%CI 1.14-1.21), and consumption of high-risk foods (PR=1.03; 95%CI 1.01-1.05) were found to be associated with an increased risk of central obesity. In contrast, primary education (PR=0.86; 95%CI 0.83-0.89), employment status (PR=0.91; 95%CI 0.90-0.93), and smoking status (PR=0.89; 95%CI 0.84-0.95) acted as protective factors against central obesity. The results of this study suggest the need for increased nutrition education and physical activity in women aged 45-54 years as well as health support programs for married women.

DISCOURSE AND RESISTANCE: AN IDEOLOGICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF READERS’ COMMENTS ON VICTIMS’ NARRATIVES IN STELLA DIMOKO KORKUS’ DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DIARY - PART ONE
Authors: Aragbuwa Adetutu , Ojo George Adekunle
Published: September 2024

Scholars have researched resistance discourses across varied contexts; however, resistance discourses to domestic violence against women (DVAW) still remain under-researched in (critical) discourse analytical studies. In view of this paucity, the present paper seeks to explore women’s discursive resistance to male oppression and power abuse in the domestic sphere by eliciting the discourse structures deployed by readers in their online feedback comments on victims’ narratives of domestic violence (DV), culled from Stella Dimoko Korkus’ Domestic Violence Diary – Part One. This is with a view to analysing the commenters’ ideological stances on DVAW. The data, which comprise one hundred and seventy-two (172) readers’ comments, are subjected to qualitative analysis using some aspects of van Dijk’s socio-cognitive ideological approach. The findings reveal that the readers’ comments are replete with instances of discourse structures such as: polarisation; positive self-presentation and negative other-presentation (achieved via lexicalisation and implication); victimisation; evidentiality; number game; metaphor; and consensus. Functionally, these discourse structures underscore resistance ideologies; and illustrate some sub-ideologies of resistance, namely: the oppressed versus the oppressor; positive in-group presentation versus negative out-group presentation; the captive versus the captor; combativity; empathy; and solidarity. These findings establish that the commenters’ discursive interactive patterns are dominantly controlled by women’s growing resistance to male domination. The study thus foregrounds the potentiality of Stella Dimoko Korkus’ Domestic Violence Diary weblog as a site for promoting the movement for female discursive resistance to male oppression.

LES ÉCHANGES RITUELS D’ACCUEIL DANS QUELQUES FAMILLES DE MAROUA : SPÉCIFICITÉS ET PRINCIPES / RITUAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN HOSTS AND VISITORS IN SOME FAMILIES OF MAROUA: CHARACTERISTICS AND PRINCIPLES
Authors: Avodo Joseph Avodo
Published: September 2024

This article, based on the analysis of discourse in interaction, examines the ritual interaction of hospitality during family visits in the Far North region of Cameroon. The research focuses on the discursive and interactional aspects of the relationship with the other and on the linguistic expression of hospitality. The aim is to describe how exchanges between visitors and hosts interact by examining the discursive strategies, behaviours and social norms that are used. The empirical data consists of eight conversations observed in several families in Maroua. The analyses show that ritual interaction between visitors and hosts in this socio-cultural context can be considered as a constellation of relational sequences. During this macro-sequence, the participants perform verbal and non-verbal acts that contribute to the expression of the relationship with the other, to the representation of otherness and to the construction of the self-image.

Cet article, basé sur l’analyse du discours en interaction, s’intéresse aux échanges rituels d’accueil lors des visites de familles à l’Extrême-Nord du Cameroun. La problématique s’articule sur la construction discursive et interactionnelle de la relation à l’autre et la fabrique langagière de l’hospitalité. L’objectif est de décrire le fonctionnement de ce type d’échanges en scrutant les stratégies discursives, les lignes de conduite et les normes sociales mobilisées par le visiteur et l’hôte lorsqu’ils interagissent. Les données empiriques retenues se composent de huit interactions observées dans quelques familles de Maroua. Les résultats indiquent que les échanges rituels d’accueil dans cette socioculture peuvent être considérés comme une constellation de relationèmes. Au cours de cette méga-séquence, les participants accomplissent des actes verbaux et non verbaux qui concourent à exprimer la relation à l’autre, la représentation de l’altérité et la construction de l’image de soi.

ANALYSIS OF COLLOCATIONS IN ENGLISH SONG LYRICS AND THEIR BOSNIAN TRANSLATION EQUIVALENTS: POTENTIAL FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING
Authors: Eminović Edina Rizvić , Šukalić Đelaludina , Tursanović Arnela
Published: September 2024

The use of music in the process of English language teaching and learning is a well-established practice. In fact, the use of authentic, contemporary language examples from popular songs has been proposed by many (Murphey, 1990; Lopez-Sanz, 2013; Kerekes, 2015) as a tool to enhance learners’ collocational competence, contextual understanding, and overall linguistic proficiency in English. This research aims to examine the frequency and types of collocations in a selection of song lyrics, to analyse their translation equivalents, and, by doing so, to explore the pedagogical potential of lexical collocations in song lyrics for practical applications in the process of teaching and learning English. Utilizing a corpus of 195 songs by Taylor Alison Swift, the analysis involves a comparison of lexical collocations in English and their translation equivalents in Bosnian. The findings reveal that apart from the relatively high frequency of lexical colocations, there are also certain patterns that can be observed, such as the consistent preference for adjective-noun pairings across and the total absence of adverb-verb combinations. From a contrastive perspective, the finding is that many collocations change in form and complexity during translation with a certain number of English examples losing their collocational patterns when translated to Bosnian. Such differences can make learning English collocations more challenging and demanding. However, this research underscores the value of integrating popular music into language curricula, advocating for innovative, engaging approaches to teaching English, in particular for Bosnian EFL learners, through modern, more relatable content.

HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS' VIEWS ON THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR TEACHING STUDENTS WITH SPECIFIC LEARNING DISABILITIES
Authors: Korea Maria Drossinou , Alexopoulos Panagiotis
Published: September 2024

This research attempts to present the perspectives of higher education students regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in language teaching interventions, with an emphasis on secondary education students with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs). Although AI applications are associated in the literature with Education (AIED), the interest of the research community was revived in 2022 with the release of ChatGPT. This Large Language Model can generate text and quickly attract millions of users. This triggered expectations for potential benefits but also raised concerns about potential risks that may arise in the context of Special Education and Training (SET). Considering the above, the methodology utilized a mixed analysis of an online questionnaire administered to 120 students from "language" departments in Greece (Kalamata). In the results, expectations for skill improvement were expressed, but there were also concerns about providing ready-made answers. In addition, students expect resistance from parents and colleagues but support from the students themselves. The research highlighted the expected barriers and facilitators that students perceive they will encounter, of which the need for staff training was emphasized.

METACOGNITION AS A CATALYST FOR IMPROVED LEARNING OUTCOMES IN OPEN & DISTANCE EDUCATION
Authors: Karagianni Georgia Konstantia
Published: September 2024

Challenges in open and distance education are unique to the learner and generally result in a gap between what is desired and what is realized. This paper explores how metacognition works wonders in bridging this gap and leading to improved learning outcomes within Open and Distance Education (ODE) environments. Metacognitive strategies foster self-regulated learning and assist students in properly planning, monitoring, and assessing their learning processes. In line with this, this paper discusses how metacognition could make a difference in improving academic achievement, promoting independent learning, and building lifelong learning skills within ODE. We demonstrate, from in-depth research and analysis of best practices, how the integration of metacognitive approaches into practice could go a long way in closing the achievement gap and optimizing the educational experience for distance learners. The findings underscore the critical role of metacognition in letting students rise above intrinsic ODE difficulties toward superior learning outcomes.

Authors: Yetunde Olufisayo John-Akinola , Olorunsogbon Olorunyomi Felix , Oluwasanu Mojisola Morenike
Published: September 2024

Background: Globally, cervical cancer is considered to be a serious public health concern and is the second most prevalent cancer afflicting women in Nigeria. The primary protection provided by the HPV vaccination would be the most effective prevention strategy for adolescent females between the ages of 9 and 15. Adolescents constitute a significant proportion of the population of Nigeria and they are particularly vulnerable to cervical cancer due to several factors, but educational interventions among this population are sub-optimal. This study investigated the effect of an educational intervention on the awareness, knowledge and intention to take HPV vaccination among adolescent female students in secondary schools in Ibadan, Nigeria. Methods: The intervention study was conducted in two randomly selected public and private secondary schools located in a randomly selected Local Government Area (LGA) of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Female students (277 vs 267) between ages 10 and 18 years in randomly selected classes were selected from each school to participate in the study. A 44-item structured questionnaire was administered at baseline and immediately post-intervention. Descriptive and inferential analyses were carried out at p-value <0.05. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 14.1 ± 1.4. Awareness of cervical cancer was low before the intervention but increased significantly after the intervention (35.2% to 94%, p<0.001). Paired t-test analysis results showed a statistically significant difference in knowledge, perception, and intention means scores between baseline and immediate post-intervention (p-value<0.001). Conclusion: Educational interventions among secondary school adolescents can significantly enhance the knowledge, perception and intention to uptake the HPV vaccination.

Published: September 2024

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which has an important place in the biomechanics of the knee joint, is the most frequently injured ligament due to various reasons, especially sports injuries. Injury to ACL reduces the mechanical stability and proprioception of the knee joint, and long-term pain, decreased muscle strength, and functional loss may occur in the knee joint. Isokinetic tests, which are objective evaluation methods, are frequently preferred in the evaluation of muscle strength. There are many different protocols for reconstruction, which is one of the most common surgical procedures for the knee area. It is important to monitor the functional level and muscle strength of the knee joint at regular intervals after the reconstruction in order to measure the success of the surgical procedure and to compare different surgical protocols. This mini-review presents evidence for the results of isokinetic muscle strength tests after ACL repair performed with different autograft methods.

Critiques on the Objective Structured Clinical Examination
Authors: Barman A
Published: September 2024

Introduction: The main aim of medical education is to foster the development of clinical competence in students at all levels. Differences in experiences, methods of instruction and ambiguous forms of assessment are obstacles to attaining this goal. Dissatisfaction with the conventional methods of clinical assessment on the part of teachers and students led assessors to search for appropriate alternatives and in 1975, Harden and his colleagues introduced the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). It is nearly impossible to have a test that satisfies all the criteria of a good test. Sometimes, a compromise has to be made between the available resources (in terms of man, money and time), and the method and quality of assessment (in terms of reliability, validity, objectivity and practicability).

Methods: This critique on the OSCE is based on the published findings of researchers from its inception in 1975 to 2004.

Results: The reliability, validity, objectivity and practicability or feasibility of this examination are based on the number of stations, construction of stations, method of scoring (checklists and/ or global scoring) and number of students assessed. For a comprehensive assessment of clinical competence, other methods should be used in conjunction with the OSCE.

Conclusion: The OSCE can be a reasonably reliable, valid and objective method of assessment, but its main drawback is that it is resource-intensive.

After 2021, over 90 million passenger automobiles were produced, marking a significant increase in auto production. This growth has led to a flourishing used car market, which has become a highly lucrative sector. One of the most critical and fascinating areas of research within this market is automobile price prediction. Accurate price prediction models can greatly benefit buyers, sellers, and businesses in the used car industry. This paper presents a detailed comparative analysis of two supervised machine learning models: K-Nearest Neighbour and Support Vector Machine regression techniques, to predict used car prices. We utilized a comprehensive dataset of used cars sourced from the Kaggle website for training and testing our models. The K Nearest Neighbour algorithm is known for its simplicity and effectiveness in regression tasks. On the other hand, the Support Vector Machine regression technique uses a different approach, finding the optimal hyperplane that best fits the data. Both methods have their strengths and weaknesses, which we explored in this study. Our results indicated that both KNN and SVM models performed well in predicting used car prices, but with slight variations in accuracy. Consequently, the suggested models fit as the optimum models and have an accuracy of about 83 percent for KNN and 80 percent for SVM. The results indicate that the KNN model slightly outperforms the SVM model in predicting used car prices.

DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN ROMANIA AND TURKEY DURING WORLD WAR II
Authors: Cojocaru Ionuț
Published: September 2024

In the aftermath of the First World War, Romania and Turkey established a collaborative relationship, with Romania restoring its territorial integrity in 1918 and Turkey proclaiming the republic in 1923.Both states, along with Greece and Yugoslavia, pursued a policy of peaceful development and cooperation, which resulted in the formation of the Balkan Agreement. Despite the efforts of the parties involved to eschew revisionist discourse and adhere to the tenets of the Paris Peace Treaty (1919–1920), the actions of revisionist states created an atmosphere of instability and heightened tensions. This study examines the diplomatic relations between Romania and Turkey during World War II, with a particular focus on the Balkan Treaty and the foreign policy strategies of both states. The findings reveal that the Balkan Pact played a crucial role in the quest for regional security, but proved inadequate in the face of the considerable influence exerted by major powers such as Germany. This study further examines the impact of Romania's alignment with Britain and France, as well as Turkey's strategic approach in line with Atatürk’s vision, assessing their implications for regional stability.

Disaster relief operations (DROs) in Malaysia require the coordinated efforts of various stakeholders to mitigate impacts and enhance community resilience. However, communication barriers, lack of coordination, and shortage of resources often present challenges that can hinder the efficiency and effectiveness of relief efforts. Thus, this study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of how key stakeholders in Malaysia navigate inter-organizational difficulties during DROs. Specifically, the objective was to identify the key challenges faced and explore initiatives implemented by stakeholders to navigate these challenges to strengthen relief operations. To address these objectives, in-depth interviews were conducted with seven experienced DRO stakeholders across three disaster-prone states in Malaysia: Pahang, Selangor, and Kelantan. Data collection involved using notebooks, video recorders, and voice recorders, and the transcribed data was analyzed using Atlas.ti software for thematic analysis. The analysis revealed four main themes: communication, coordination, manpower, and equipment. The stakeholders proactively strengthened relief operations by creating training programs for disaster response teams, providing comprehensive disaster-related information to the community, developing a sensor-based early warning system, and launching a community engagement program called Kampung Siaga 221 to raise disaster awareness. These initiatives reflect a strategic approach aimed at building more resilient communities, ultimately reducing challenges faced during DROs. The findings of this study contribute to the existing literature on stakeholder involvement in disaster management and offer valuable insights that can inform the development of more coordinated and holistic strategies for DROs in Malaysia. Future research could examine the long-term impact and scalability of these initiatives to other regions, as well as investigate the perspectives of disaster-affected communities to further improve DROs.

The research aims to empirically investigate the impact of credit risk management and bank-specific variables on the financial performance of the listed commercial banks in Bangladesh. This examination is based on secondary data from 28 listed commercial banks for six years starting from 2017 to 2021. Therefore, a dataset of 140 firm-year observations was used in this study. The random effect model has been used to examine the impact of two credit risk variables namely, ‘non-performing loan (NPL)’ and ‘capital adequacy ratio (CAR)’ including three bank-specific variables namely, ‘cost-effective ratio (CER)’, ‘average lending interest rate (ALR)’ and ‘liquidity ratio (LR)’ on financial performance which is measured using ‘return on assets (ROA)’ and ‘return on equity (ROE)’. The study finds that the credit risk variable NPL is negatively related, and CAR is positively related to both of the dependent variables, i.e. ROA and ROE. Among the bank-specific variables, CER and LR have a negative relationship, while ALR has a positive relationship with both of the profitability measurements. This study extends the existing understanding of credit risk and the bank specific variables and their correlation with financial performance. This study also provides valuable insight for banks and management to set their long-term financial goals. Legislators and the central bank can also benefit from this study in making new lending and credit risk policies. The study only included listed commercial banks in Bangladesh, however, this approach can also be used for non-listed, state-owned, and specialized banks. Future researchers can add these financial institutions and extend their inquiry. Other internal and macroeconomic factors that can affect bank financial performance may also be included in future studies.
The Understanding of the Importance of Participating in the Holy Communion Among Baptized Members of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church within Central Kenya Conference
Authors: Moegi Samwel Robinson
Published: September 2024

The study investigated the understanding regarding the importance of participating in Holy Communion among baptized members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church within the Central Kenya Conference. Holy Communion, a significant religious practice involving the partaking of bread and wine following the ordinance of foot washing, commemorates Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and serves as a moment of spiritual unity. Despite its significance, participation rates are notably low, as reflected in the 2017-2018 Global Church Member Survey. This research aimed to explore the underlying reasons for this trend and develop strategies to enhance participation. Employing a quantitative research design, the study surveyed members from selected churches including Karura, Lovington, and Nairobi Central. Findings revealed that while members acknowledge the importance of Holy Communion, barriers such as feelings of unworthiness, discomfort with foot washing, and perceived insignificance of the service hinder full engagement. The study recommends comprehensive educational strategies to emphasize the ritual’s theological significance, improved communication and engagement within the church community, and proactive roles for church leadership in addressing both spiritual and practical concerns. Future research should explore the long-term effects of these strategies and investigate the experiences of different demographic groups to tailor interventions accordingly. This study highlights the need for targeted interventions to bridge the gap between theological teachings and personal experiences, fostering a deeper spiritual connection and enhancing participation in Holy Communion.

Knee osteoarthritis is categorized classically as a non-inflammatory arthropathy. However, there has been increasing evidence regarding the supplementary role of inflammation in the pathogenesis and disease progression of knee osteoarthritis. This study aims to identify a potential correlation between synovial fluid white blood cell (SF WBC) count and the severity of knee osteoarthritis clinical presentation. 200 knees (200 patients) were assessed through SF aspiration and cytology analysis for WBC count. All patients have filled out the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for clinical correlation. For the 200 knees, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between the severity of osteoarthritis clinical presentation as expressed by the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcomes Score (KOOS) and the synovial white blood cell count among the studied cases (p-value < 0.001). There was no statistically significant correlation found between the patient's age, sex, or side and KOOS or SF white cell count. The clinical severity of knee osteoarthritis is directly correlated with increased SF white cell count, and hence, SF WBCs may play a role in identifying and grading osteoarthritis clinical severity. This may raise the interest in identifying the role of using specific disease-modifying drugs that deal with the WBC function in cases of osteoarthritis along with other modalities.
