Authors: Azis Norilmiah , Mahmud Radziah , Muda Rosni
Published: April 2020

Students’ performance (academic achievement) is fundamental in producing quality graduates. Many empirical studies are conducted to investigate factors affecting university students’ performance. The focus of this study is to measure the relationship between students and lecturers’ interaction, lecturers’ characteristics and lecturers’ knowledge and performance in financial reporting course using Framework-based Teaching Approach. The present study prefers a survey method. Questionnaires were used as instrument in this study and were distributed to students taking Advanced Financial Accounting and Reporting 1 (FAR610) during semester March-July 2017 at the Faculty of Accountancy, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Puncak Alam, Malaysia. Data were randomly selected dan analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Based on response from 91 students, the results show that only lecturers’ knowledge was positive and significantly related to financial reporting performance. The interaction of students and lecturers, and lecturers’ characteristics do not relate to the students’ performance in financial reporting course. The result will facilitate lecturers to understand and find new ways to be applied at the beginning of the course to improve students’ performance.

Published: April 2020

Augmented reality (AR) is one type of learning process that can be applied through mobile learning known as mobile augmented reality. AR offers an innovative learning space through an active interaction of superimposing digital contents into the real context to enhance learning experiences. Previous studies have found that AR in education is able to lead students to achieve higher levels of engagement in the learning process. In contrast, the potential of AR in education has not been explored intensively. Therefore, this article is to look into factors that might influence pre-service teachers' use behaviour of Mobile Augmented Reality Learning Cardiovascular (MARLCardio). A self-designed MARLCardio app has been used as an experimental instrument in collecting data. The influencing factors towards use behaviour of MARLCardio are performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions. This study is a part of an on-going research. In this study, a total of 75 respondents used MARLCardio app before answering a survey questionnaire. The respondents were pre-service teachers at one public university in Malaysia. All data from the questionnaire were analysed using multiple regression analysis. As a result of this investigation, findings showed that effort expectancy is the dominant factor in determining the use behaviour of MARLCardio. Interestingly, performance expectancy did not show any significant relationship.

Authors: Ismail Izaham Shah , Shafie Nurul Hidayu
Published: April 2020

The use of ICT in education has benefitted both students and educators in the education field. Currently, social networking sites are being used widely by university students in their daily lives for various purposes such as entertainment, networking, as well as educational purposes. There are many studies conducted to figure out whether the social networking sites benefit the students in formal education but there are not many studies done to investigate whether they are beneficial to students’ informal learning, especially in English language. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the contribution of social networking sites to the university students' English informal language learning. This quantitative study was conducted on Malaysian public university students in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan. A descriptive quantitative survey research was conducted in order to answer the research questions of this study. The results of this study revealed that most of the respondents learned English informally by saving interesting English quotes or images posted on social networking sites as well as by paying attention to the sentence patterns and accent while watching videos on those sites. The respondents of this study also perceived that they informally learned listening skills and vocabulary the most from the social networking sites. To conclude, social networking sites are not only useful for entertaining purposes, but they could also be used to informally learn and improve one’s English language skills.

Authors: Dalim Siti Fairuz , Muhamad Azliza Nurul Zakiah , Ibrahim Norezah , Zulkipli Zulinda Ayu , Mohd Yusof Mohammad Mubarrak
Published: April 2020

Digital Storytelling is one of the new pedagogical tools that call upon students’ creativity and helps them to “learn by doing”. It is one of the important steps towards creating the 21st-century learning environment as it promotes the integration of student-centred and technology-enriched learning environment for learners. Despite the many benefits that this learning tool has to offer, many educators are still reluctant to integrate this kind of technology in their classes which resulted in low implementation of this technology among the educators.  Therefore, this study is intended to determine pre-service teachers’ experience and perceptions of digital storytelling for 21st-century skills in a learning environment. A set of questionnaire was distributed to 150 trainee teachers from the Faculty of Education in one of the public universities in Malaysia. The result of this study reveals that pre-service teachers’ have moderately experienced the use of digital storytelling in their learning (M=2.98; SD=1.332). The finding also showed that the pre-service teachers responded positively towards the use of digital storytelling in the classroom (M=3.94; SD=0.713). The correlation analysis further showed that the pre-service teachers’ experience with digital storytelling has significantly given the impact on their perception towards the implementation of this tool in the teaching and learning process. Considering the many advantages of the digital storytelling towards the enhancement of 21st-century skills among the younger generations, therefore more aggressive steps need to be done to strengthen the teaching preparation programme in higher educational institutions. This is very important to ensure that the future teachers produced are well-equipped with all the teaching skills and technologies to educate the next millennial generations.

Learner Autonomy in the Vietnamese EAP Context
Authors: Roe Jasper , Perkins Dr Mike
Published: April 2020

: This literature review explores the current body of research pertaining to learner autonomy in the Vietnamese English for Academic Purposes (EAP) context, investigating themes and research methodologies, conclusions drawn, limitations and possible avenues for further study and new research directions in the future. We demonstrate that although there are many studies exploring the concept of learner autonomy, the definitions as to how this term is described is not clear throughout the literature, and this is a limitation in the current research field. In addition to this, there is significant evidence suggesting that Vietnamese EAP learners are keen to engage in autonomous learning practices and can demonstrate the self-regulation required to do so, which disagrees with traditional conceptions of Confucian heritage culture learning approaches.

Published: April 2020

Introduction: circulating miRNA were identified as potential biomarkers in cardiac arrhythmias. It is intended to evaluate, in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the expression of miRNAs in plasma, their clinical repercussion and their prognostic factor. Materials and Methods: PubMed, Cochrane and Google Scholar platforms were used as a data source. Eligibility criteria: miRNAs as direct biomarkers in the clinical expression of AF; all languages. Last search: 19/09/2019; studies involving other comorbidities were excluded; pharmacological focus; in animals, in patients already submitted to cardiac procedures and review articles. Plasma collection and storage, RNA isolation, data analysis, realtime PCR, miRNA target prediction and statistical analysis were performed in the studies. Results: The studies generated n = 332 patients: with AF and control group. In patients with AF there was an increase in the expression of miR-1266, miR-4279, miR- 892a, miR-3149, miR-155, miR-146b5p, miR-19b and a reduction in miR-3171, miR-3664-5p and miRNA -150. Discussion: it was noted that the regulation of inflammatory mediators, ion channels and cardiac morphophysiology are related to the expression of miRNA. Conclusion: Therefore, the levels of changes in miRNAs may reflect the severity of the clinical and pathophysiological progression of AF, and can be used as predictors of AF.

Published: April 2020

A 50-year-old female patient admitted for etiological syncope investigation. A 24-hour Holter was installed where the record showed the mechanism of sudden cardiac death. Sudden bradycardia caused by paroxysmal atrioventricular block led to torsades de pointes, ventricular fibrillation and death. This case shows the importance of Holter in the chronology of arrhythmic events that lead to sudden death and highlights a poorly reported event – the occurrence of cardiac death during 24-hour Holter monitoring.

Authors: Augusto Fragata Filho Abilio , da Silva Fragata Claudia , Maria Lourenço Angela , Castro Faccini Cristiane , Ítalo Dias França João
Published: April 2020

Introduction: Chagas’ disease lacks elements to predict which carriers will evolve into cardiac form and which will remain in undetermined form. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between electrocardiographic evolution and Tpeak–Tend and QT intervals, both corrected for heart rate, in chagasic patients with normal initial electrocardiogram. Method: Chagasic patients admitted to the institution until 2002 were retrospectively evaluated, and the electrocardiogram was normal at the first consultation. The Tpeak–Tend and QT intervals were measured in milliseconds at the V2 and V5 derivations, with the mean values corrected for heart rate (Bazett). The relationship of these values with the electrocardiographic evolution of the individuals was analyzed, considering the gender, time of evolution and whether they received benznidazole or not. Results: The corrected Tpeak–Tend interval showed no statistical significance among those who maintained or not normal electrocardiogram. The corrected QT interval, the treatment with benznidazole and the time of evolution showed significance for the maintenance of normal electrocardiogram. In the multivariate evaluation, treatment with benznidazole, the QTc interval and the time of evolution were independent variables for the maintenance of normal electrocardiogram. Conclusion: The Tpeak–Tend interval showed no predictor of electrocardiographic evolution. The increased QT interval favored changes.

Introdução: A doença de Chagas carece de elementos que proporcionem prever quais portadores evoluirão para a forma cardíaca e quais permanecerão na forma indeterminada. Objetivo:Avaliar relação entre evolução eletrocardiográfica e intervalos Tpico–Tfim e QT, ambos corrigidos para a frequência cardíaca, em chagásicos com eletrocardiograma inicial normal. Método: Avaliamos retrospectivamente chagásicos admitidos na instituição até 2002, tendo eletrocardiograma normal na primeira consulta. Os intervalos Tpico–Tfim e QT foram medidos em milissegundos nas derivações V2 e V5, sendo a média dos valores corrigida para a frequência cardíaca (Bazett). Analisou-se a relação desses valores com a evolução eletrocardiográfica dos indivíduos, tendo em vista sexo, tempo de evolução e se receberam benzonidazol ou não. Resultados: O intervalo Tpico–Tfim corrigido não mostrou significância estatística entre os que mantiveram ou não eletrocardiograma normal. O intervalo QT corrigido, o tratamento com benzonidazol e o tempo de evolução mostraram significância quanto à manutenção do eletrocardiograma normal. Na avaliação multivariada, o tratamento com benzonidazol, o intervalo QTc e o tempo de evolução se mostraram variáveis independentes para a manutenção do eletrocardiograma normal. Conclusão:O intervalo Tpico–Tfim não se mostrou preditor da evolução eletrocardiográfica. O intervalo QT aumentado favoreceu aparecimento de alterações.

A fibrilação atrial é a arritmia de maior prevalência na população mundial. Apesar do uso de antiarrítmicos, é de difícil controle clínico, ocasionando sintomas e principalmente gerando risco de um evento tromboembólico. A partir de 1998, por meio da ablação por radiofrequência, o tratamento da fibrilação atrial mudou completamente, porém junto a essa importante evolução também iniciaram as complicações advindas dessa técnica de tratamento ablativo. Além das estenoses das veias pulmonares causadas pela ablação e posteriormente corrigidas com a mudança da técnica, surgiram as fístulas átrio-esofágicas, devido à aplicação de radiofrequência na parede posterior do átrio esquerdo. Esta parede está bem próxima (0,5 cm em média) do esôfago, facilitando a formação da fístula que leva à morte quase 100% dos pacientes acometidos, apesar das diversas medidas de tratamento já desenvolvidas. Para evitar essa grave complicação, vários autores criaram técnicas para proteger o esôfago incluindo seu desvio mecânico para uma região oposta à da aplicação de radiofrequência, aproveitando a sua mobilidade e facilidadede abordagem. O desvio mecânico do esôfago tem se mostrado a forma mais simples, barata e eficiente de proteger esse órgão da lesão térmica da radiofrequência durante a ablação da fibrilação atrial.
PEREZHIVANIE (LIVE THROUGH) AS A PHENOMENON AND A CONCEPT: QUESTIONS ON CLARIFICATION AND METHODOLOGICAL MEDITATIONS
Authors: VERESOV Nikolay
Published: April 2020

This paper is an attempt to show possible ways to unpack the theoretical content of the concept of perezhivanie by clarifying the place and role of this concept within cultural-historical theory and examining the connections of this concept with other concepts, principles, and laws of the theory. There is an important distinction between the two meanings of perezhivanie presented in Vygotsky’s original texts — perezhivanie as a psychological phenomena/process which can be empirically observed and studied and perezhivanie as a concept, a theoretical tool for analysis of the process of development. This distinction is an important step forward in developing the generative understanding of the concept of perezhivanie within the cultural-historical theoretical framework. Perezhivanie as a concept is not about a phenomenon how the particular child interprets, understands and relates to a certain situation. Perezhivanie as a concept is not about what the particular child experiences in a particular situation. Perezhivanie as a concept has its own theoretical content within the theory. Questions on clarification and methodological meditations are in line with Vygotsky’s ideas on perezhivanie as a concept, which relates to the process of development, the role on social environment and the laws of development.
STRUCTURAL TYPES OF ARMENIAN LANGUAGE VARIANT- UNITS IN THE TRANSLATION BOOKS OF THE BIBLE
Authors: KHACHATRYAN Lalik
Published: April 2020

The correlative study of variants’ form and meaning in the Bible books shows that some types of variants; word-variants, phonetic-variants, grammatical variants, that give some idea about present linguistic reality from the synchronic point. The marginal components of word variants are words which have different manifestations of the form. Phonetic variants have been formed through sound- interchange. Grammatical variants are formed by different declensional forms.

The results of the investigation can serve as a means of comparison for both the interlinguistic and interlinguistic typological investigation. From the subject of the study, we can conclude that variant-units found in the Bible are a heritage from the prewritten period. They have been transferred to old Armenian with the lexical structure of prewritten Armenian and were reflected in the first Armenian translation manuscript- in the Bible.

Authors: McCracken Megan J. , Schumacher James , Doherty Thomas J. , Sun Xiaocun , Nichols Cailey L. , Olivarez Jeffrey
Published: April 2020

OBJECTIVE

To determine the efficacy and duration of effect for liposomal bupivacaine following perineural administration to the medial and lateral palmar digital nerves of horses.

ANIMALS

9 nonlame mares.

PROCEDURES

For each horse, 2 mL of liposomal bupivacaine (13.3 mg/mL; total dose, 53.2 mg or approx 0.11 mg/kg) or sterile saline (0.9% NaCl) solution was injected adjacent to the medial and lateral palmar digital nerves at the level of the distal aspect of the proximal sesamoid bones of a randomly selected forelimb. Twenty-one days later, the opposite treatment was administered in the contralateral forelimb. A digital algometer was used to measure the mechanical nociceptive threshold (MNT) immediately before and at predetermined times for 48 hours after injection of each treatment. The mean MNT was compared between the 2 treatments at each measurement time.

RESULTS

The mean MNT for the liposomal bupivacaine-treated limbs was significantly greater (ie, the limb was less sensitive) than that for the saline-treated limbs between 30 minutes and 4 hours after treatment injection. Following liposomal bupivacaine administration, 1 horse developed mild swelling at the injection sites that resolved without treatment within 24 hours. No other adverse effects were observed.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results suggested that liposomal bupivacaine is another option for perineural anesthesia in horses. Further research is necessary to determine the optimal dose and better elucidate the duration of effect for the drug when used for palmar digital nerve blocks in horses.
Evaluation of cell-free DNA as a diagnostic marker in cerebrospinal fluid of dogs
Authors: Stark Amy C. , McGrath Stephanie , Karn Marta , Thomson Christine E.
Published: April 2020

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether cell-free DNA (cfDNA) was detectable in CSF samples from dogs, whether CSF sample volume impacted CSF cfDNA concentration measurement, and whether CSF cfDNA concentration was associated with CNS disease category or CSF RBC count (RBCC), nucleated cell count (NCC), or protein concentration, which could aid in the diagnosis of neurologic diseases in dogs.

SAMPLE

80 CSF samples collected from dogs with (n = 60) and without (20) clinical neurologic disease between February 2017 and May 2018.

PROCEDURES

Results for CSF RBCC, NCC, protein concentration, and cfDNA concentration were compared across CSF groups established on the basis of whether they were obtained from dogs with (case groups) or without (control group) clinical signs of neurologic disease In addition, 5 paired CSF samples representing large (3.0-mL) and small (0.5-mL) volumes, were used to evaluate whether sample volume impacted measurement of CSF cfDNA concentration.

RESULTS

cfDNA was detected in 76 of the 80 (95%) CSF samples used to evaluate parameters across disease categories and in all 5 of the paired samples used to evaluate whether sample volume impacted cfDNA quantification. There were no substantial differences in cfDNA concentrations identified between groups (on the basis of disease category or sample volume), and the CSF cfDNA concentration did not meaningfully correlate with CSF RBCC, NCC, or protein concentration.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Although results indicated that the CSF cfDNA concentration could not be used to differentiate between categories of neurologic disease in dogs of the the present study, further investigation is warranted regarding the use of CSF analysis, including sequencing specific cfDNA mutations, for diagnosing and monitoring neurologic disease in dogs.

Published: April 2020

Organofosfatlı ve karbamatlı insektisitlere alternatif olarak geliştirilen neonikotinoidler, günümüzde dünya çapında en yaygın kullanılan insektisit sınıfı olup polen ve nektar dâhil bitkilerin tüm kısımlarına geçerek bu bitkiler tarafından üretilen ürünlere ve hatta arı ürünlerine aktarılabilmektedir. Bu sistemik özellikleriyle neonikotinoidler, bal arıları ve yabani arılar gibi canlıların yanı sıra, insanlar dahil diğer omurgalılar üzerinde de olumsuz etkilere yol açmaktadır. Bu nedenle hangi türevlerinin ne oranda etki oluşturduğuna ilişkin araştırmalar son yıllarda hızla artmakta ve bu çalışma sonuçlarına göre farklı ülkelerde neonikotinoid kullanımlarına yasaklar ve kısıtlamalar getirilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de üretilen ballarda neonikotinoid varlığının ve dolayısıyla çevredeki kirlilik seviyesinin ölçülmesidir. Bu amaçla, hasat sonrası Türkiye’nin farklı illerindeki arı yetiştiricilerinden direkt temin edilen 44 bal örneği materyal olarak kullanılmıştır. Örneklerde acetamiprid, clothianidin, dinotefuran, imidacloprid, nitenpyram, thiacloripid ve thiamethoxam varlığı Sıvı Kromatografi Kuadrupol Uçuş Zamanlı Kütle Spektrometresi (LC-MS Q-TOF) kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Analiz edilen örneklerin hiçbirinde neonikotinoid grubu insektisitlere rastlanmamıştır. Analiz edilen örneklerde neonikotinoidlere rastlanmaması Türkiye açısından umut verici bir bulgudur. Neonikotinoidlerin kullanım şekilleri ve canlı organizmalara etkileri üzerine artan araştırmalar yanında, çevresel varlığının da düzenli olarak takip edilmesi ve limitlerin belirlenmesinin, halk sağlığının korunması açısından önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
Fate of a scholar in the fate of a country (about the book “N. S. Nizhnik, S. Y. Dergileva State and Law in Theoretical-Legal Views of A. I. Elistratov: monography. – M.; Yurlitinform, 2017. – 376 p.” as about an invitation to ponder)
Authors: Zipunnikova Natalia , Zipunnikova Yuliya Nikolaevna
Published: April 2020

This article discusses a monographic study dedicated to the prominent Russian legal scholar A. I. Elistratov (1822-1955), whose life and works fell on the different historical periods, including a tragic crisis time. The authors of the monograph N. S. Nizhnik, S. Y. Dergileva characterize the intellectual biography of the scholar and his sociopolitical activity in the context of establishment of the police-legal theory within the European and national educational scientific tradition. Subsequent changes in the attitude towards legal scholar and his scientific writings that were popular in Russia prior to the October Revolution are demonstrated through the prism of transformation of state-legal, political-ideological, socioeconomic, educational-scientific customs of the national culture. An effective reconstruction of the scientific biography of A. I. Elistratov became possible due to careful attention to the heritage of national police science and Soviet science of administrative law as a whole, as well as anthropocentric scenario of the conducted research. From the standpoint of historicism and anthropological approach, the peer reviews turns attention to functionality in the culture of complex mechanisms that ensure succession of the traditions. The new monographs demonstrates the importance and research prospects of the separate storylines related to the formation of scholar’s personality and his realization of scientific-pedagogical and sociopolitical activity, for example on the foreign business trips and participation in seminars on law, work of law communities in pre-October Russia, dynamism of educational and scientific activity of the first Soviet decades.
Digital revolution: the experience of periodization and problems of forecasting
Authors: Miloslavov Aleksei Sergeevich
Published: April 2020

This article examines a complicated phenomenon that includes the epistemic and technological components, as well as multiplicity of social practices. Based on such approach, the author determines the significant stages of “digitalization” of various sides of social life; describes the problems impeding accurate forecasting of the processes of future development of information and communication technologies and their impact upon social life. Methodological patterns that should be followed by a researcher aimed at implementation of a forecasting function with regards to future transformations of sociotechnical digital world. Methodological framework contains the historical-comparative analysis that allows identifying problematic areas in the attempts to establish periodization of the development of computer science and desire to form forecast of the future flow of transformations in the “digital world”. Bases on the concepts “open exit project” and “medium zoom level”, the article reveals the capabilities and limitations for accurate realization of forecast functions with regards to further course of the “digital revolution”. The author substantiates the statement that in studying processes associated with future development of computer science, it is necessary to pay attention to socio-anthropological consequences of research and engineering activity.

La femme en colère : la violence de Moze de Zahia Rahmani
Authors: Stepanov Brigitte
Published: April 2020

Cet article aborde la question de la colère et de la violence au féminin dans Moze (2003) de Zahia Rahmani, un roman qui se penche sur l’histoire d’un harki – de même que l’Histoire des harkis – et de la vie de sa famille après son suicide. Plusieurs formes de violence – tant physiques que textuelles – y sont soulignées, ainsi que l’oscillation entre le privé et le public, le souvenir individuel et collectif, le passé et le présent, la France et l’Algérie. Je soutiens que la narratrice, la fille du harki qui donne son nom au roman, utilise la parole non seulement comme réponse à la violence coloniale, à titre de réplique enragée et violente aux injustices commises contre les harkis, mais encore comme une manière de vaincre le traumatisme de la colonisation et de faire le deuil de ce passé terni.

Mots-clés : harki, Algérie, théorie postcoloniale, violence, traumatisme, narration

The increase in production of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) from various sectors of the
industry should be taken seriously globally. Efficient waste management has been
promoted for a great and clean environment. The industry’s by-products waste such as
fish and poultry waste have been gaining researchers interest to seriousness converted it
to a valuable commodity like alternative gelatine. Therefore, the review on current waste
from industry in Malaysia and its impacts, potentially used of fish and poultry wastes as
gelatine-based film using bio-nanotechnology approaches and business opportunities was
discussed. Application of nanoparticles in food packaging is growing rapidly worldwide
especially the development and implementation of bio-degradable packaging system that
works against moisture, gas and microbial barrier is a very useful approach to achieve
the mentioned function. Replacement of petroleum-based non bio-degradable plastics by
bio-degradable packaging material significantly useful for future application in order to
protect human health. This is because the major risk associated with nano-sized
components is their potential opposing health effects due to its migration into food.
