Second Language Learners’ Pauses Over Different Times Intervals in L2 Writing Essays: Evidence From a Keystroke Logging Program
Authors: Mohsen Mohammed
Published: December 2021

Purpose. Several studies have been conducted to analyse students’ pauses during first language and/or second language writing to indicate the magnitude of the underlying cognitive processes learners have. Majority of studies have examined students’ pauses at a threshold 200ms. However, little is known about recording second language learners' pauses at different pauses’ times over different types of genres. The current investigation reports a case study of L2 learners’ cognitive processes by recording their pauses (<500ms, <1000ms, and <2000ms) during L2 writing in response to multiple genres prompts.

Design / methodology / approach. Twenty-five postgraduate students were asked to write three essays over three weeks, and their writing processes were recorded using a keystroke logging program (Inputlog, 7, Leijten & van Waes, 2013). Data was triangulated using a log file from the keystroke logging program, a process graph for writing behavior through different stages, and a visual video recording of their captured screens during writing behaviours.

Findings. Results found that the students paused over sentence and paragraph boundaries and their pauses between paragraphs were significantly higher in writing narrative essay than in their argumentative essays at pauses intervals <500 and <1000ms respectively, and in turn, their pauses between sentences in an argumentative essay were significantly higher than their pauses in a descriptive essay at <500, <1000 respectively. However, there were no significant differences across word boundaries over genre types.

Conclusions. The current study extends the previous literature in examining the underlying cognitive processes during L2 writing tasks as the trendy issue of psycholinguistics. Knowing the cognitive processes is crucial in diagnosing the students’ difficulties in writing L2 essays as advanced technology has the potential to explore intrusively the accurate cognitive processes learners involved during writing tasks.

Originality / value. This paper is innovative in examining a state-of-the-art issue and has implications to the field of psycholinguistics.

NEOFEUDALISM: THE MAIN PROBLEM ON THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINE
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Scienсes of Ukraine, SINENKO B. , KULTENKO V. ,   National University of Life and Environmental Scienсes of Ukraine
Published: December 2021

An original approach to the analysis of problems development of modern Ukraine is offered. Possible ways to solve them for the country's transition from a state of transition to sustainable development are being clarified. The authors see the reasons for the instability of the current situation in Ukraine in the fact that its development is characterized by signs of neo-feudalism. Namely: the revival of feudal traditions of management, the dominance of socio-economic traditions of feudal societies. A typical feature of neo-feudalism in Ukraine is the localization of the population through the procedure of registration. This ensures the person's attachment to the place of residence, pressure, and hence control over it. In addition, the uncertainty of land ownership and the forced-militaristic system of state security are characteristic of modern Ukraine. These factors are a means of state pressure and coercion on the population of Ukraine, which are contrary to the principles of liberalism. Overcoming such outdated inhibitory factors, according to the authors, should have a positive impact on the further development of Ukraine, stabilization of its development and optimization of civil society institutions

Neurosurgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center: 1956–2020
Authors: Taylor Christopher L.
Published: December 2021

The history of neurosurgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, is reviewed. Kemp Clark, MD, started the academic neurosurgical practice at Parkland Hospital in 1956. Clark developed a robust training program that required the resident to operate early. In 1972, the Dallas Veterans Affairs Hospital was added to the training program. Duke Samson, MD, became chair in 1988. He emphasized technical excellence and honest reporting of surgical outcomes. In 1989, Zale Lipshy University Hospital opened and became a center for neurosurgical care, and Hunt Batjer, MD, became chair in 2012. The program expanded significantly. Along with principles established by his predecessors, Batjer emphasized the need for all neurosurgeons to engage the community and to be active in policy leadership through local and national organizations. During his tenure, the pediatric neurosurgery group at Children’s Medical Center Dallas was integrated with the department, and a multidisciplinary spine service was developed. In 2014, the Peter O’Donnell Jr. Brain Institute was established, and the William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital opened. For 64 years, UT Southwestern Medical Center has been fertile ground for academic neurosurgery, with a strong emphasis on excellence in patient care.

OBJECTIVE

The endoscopic transorbital approach (ETOA) has been developed, permitting a new surgical corridor. Due to the vertical limitation of the ETOA, some lesions of the anterior cranial fossa are difficult to access. The ETOA with superior-lateral orbital rim (SLOR) osteotomy can achieve surgical freedom of vertical as well as horizontal movement. The purpose of this study was to confirm the feasibility of the ETOA with SLOR osteotomy.

METHODS

Anatomical dissections were performed in 5 cadaveric heads with a neuroendoscope and neuronavigation system. ETOA with SLOR osteotomy was performed on one side of the head, and ETOA with lateral orbital rim (LOR) osteotomy was performed on the other side. After analysis of the results of the cadaveric study, the ETOA with SLOR osteotomy was applied in 6 clinical cases.

RESULTS

The horizontal and vertical movement range through ETOA with SLOR osteotomy (43.8° ± 7.49° and 36.1° ± 3.32°, respectively) was improved over ETOA with LOR osteotomy (31.8° ± 5.49° and 23.3° ± 1.34°, respectively) (p < 0.01). Surgical freedom through ETOA with SLOR osteotomy (6025.1 ± 220.1 mm3) was increased relative to ETOA with LOR osteotomy (4191.3 ± 57.2 mm3) (p < 0.01); these values are expressed as the mean ± SD. Access levels of ETOA with SLOR osteotomy were comfortable, including anterior skull base lesion and superior orbital area. The view range of the endoscope for anterior skull base lesions was increased through ETOA with SLOR osteotomy. After SLOR osteotomy, the space for moving surgical instruments and the endoscope was widened. Anterior clinoidectomy could be achieved successfully using ETOA with SLOR osteotomy.

The authors performed ETOA with SLOR osteotomy in 6 cases of brain tumor. In all 6 cases, complete removal of the tumor was successfully accomplished. In the 3 cases of anterior clinoidal meningioma, anterior clinoidectomy was performed easily and safely, and manipulation of the extended dural margin and origin dura mater was possible. There was no complication related to this approach.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors evaluated the clinical feasibility of ETOA with SLOR osteotomy based on a cadaveric study. ETOA with SLOR osteotomy could be applied to more diverse disease groups that do not permit conventional ETOA or to cases in which surgical application is challenging. ETOA with SLOR osteotomy might serve as an opportunity to broaden the indication for the ETOA.

Published: December 2021

Мета статті — вивчити досвід організації карнавальних розваг як художньо-естетичний феномен та приклад успішної самоорганізації місцевих територіальних громад. У статті розглядаються проблеми функціонування карнавальних традицій у країнах Західної Європи. Методологія дослідження базується на використанні історичного та аналітичного методів, які дозволили прослідкувати європейські карнавальні традиції й визначити роль та місце досліджуваної проблеми у загальному процесі еволюції карнавальної культури. Структурний метод застосовувався в систематизації та викладенні фактичного матеріалу з метою фіксації спільних і відмінних рис народних святкових веселощів. Наукова новизна полягає у тому, що обґрунтовано необхідність розвитку й популяризації карнавальної культури та демократичної святкової комунікації в контексті вітчизняної культури. Висновки. Констатовано, що генетичні предки європейського карнавалу — античні свята діонісій та сатурналій. А масовим народним святом з вуличними процесіями, іграми, театралізованими виставами в масках карнавал став в середні віки завдяки розвитку європейських самоврядних міст й становленню класу буржуазії. Доведено, що головною ідеєю карнавалу є інверсія — зміна вікового, статевого, соціального статусу учасників святкового дійства. Шлях до всебічного пізнання інтернаціонального фонду карнавальних форм лежить через вивчення його національних варіантів. У розвідці простежується генезис й історична трансформація найпопулярніших європейських карнавалів. Європейський карнавал — антипод тоталітарного свята, якому властива надмірна серйозність, фальшива патетика, стереотипний набір ідеологічних гасел і кліше. Досвід організації карнавальних розваг цікавий як приклад демократичної святкової комунікації, яскравий художньо-естетичний феномен, зразок успішної самоорганізації місцевих територіальних громад.

Незавершеність реформування громадянського суспільства в Україні у контенті євроінтеграції актуалізує наукові дослідження у питанні їх культуротворчого осмислення. Мета дослідження — виявити вплив євроінтеграційних процесів на формування основних положень Стратегій розвитку громадянського суспільства різних років у корекції до вимог часу. Методологія дослідження базується на міждисциплінарному підході до його вивчення. Порівняльно-логічний метод дав можливість зіставити законодавчі акти різних років і простежити їх поступ. Культурологічний метод дозволив визначити культуротворчий підхід до створення Стратегій розвитку громадянського суспільства в Україні та з’ясувати вплив євроінтеграційних підходів при їх розробці. Наукова новизна полягає у комплексності культуротворчого осмислення основних положень Стратегій розвитку громадянського суспільства, що кореспондуються з євроінтеграційними процесами. Висновки. Розробка Стратегій та їх неухильне виконання роблять розвиток громадянського суспільства в Україні цілеспрямованим та поступальним, що постулюється з модернізаційними євроінтеграційними підходами. Для сучасного етапу характерним є покращення стану законодавства, зокрема, останнім часом законодавчий кейс поповнився Національними стратегіями (2012, 2016, 2021 рр.) щодо сприяння розвитку громадянського суспільства з урахуванням напрацьованих і практикою перевірених європейських стандартів. Культуротворчість трактується як консолідуючий феномен, що активізує державотворчі ресурси та виступає модератором формування української ідентичності, засобом соціалізації та інкультурації особистості. Культурологічне осмислення цієї парадигми сприяє тяглості та удосконаленню потенційних можливостей при подальшій розробці законотворчих документів з означеного нами питання.
«ТЕАТР РУХУ»: ОСОБЛИВОСТІ НІДЕРЛАНДСЬКОЇ МІМІЧНОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ

Published: December 2021

Мета статті — виявити специфіку нідерландської мімічної культури другої половини ХХ ст. на основі аналізу діяльності «Театру руху» під керівництвом Ф. Фогельса. Методологія дослідження. Застосовано історико-культурний метод і метод системного аналізу та синтезу (для вивчення особливостей розвитку мімічної культури в Нідерландах); порівняльно- історичний метод (для здійснення порівняльного аналізу художньо-естетичних засад пантоміми Е. Декру та мімічної культури Ф. Фогельса); метод біографічної реконструкції (для відтворення фрагментів творчих біографій представників нідерландської мімічної культури Я. Бронка, У. Спура та Ф. Фогельса); жанрово-типологічний метод (для виявлення особливостей постановок «Театру руху») та метод теоретичного узагальнення (для підбиття підсумків дослідження). Наукова новизна. Досліджено передумови формування мім-театру в Нідерландах; проаналізовано діяльність провідних нідерландських мімів в контексті специфіки національної мімічної культури; розглянуто діяльність театральної групи та школи «Театру руху»; теоретизовано художньо-естетичні засади мім-театру за Ф. Фогельсом. Висновки. Постановки нідерландського «Театру руху» здійснили великий вплив на зміну сприйняття мімічної культури в багатьох європейських країнах, розширивши творчі обрії теоретико-практичного спадку Е. Декру. Вистави театральної групи репрезентували глядачам можливості, що з’являються внаслідок підриву кордонів між театром та іншими видами мистецтва. «Театр руху» став унікальним міждисциплінарним явищем, що посприяв неоднозначному перетину театру з іншими мистецтвами для створення гібридних засобів естетичної тілесної передачі повідомлень. Концепція Ф. Фогельса заклала основи сучасного мім-театру, в якому мім не стільки актор, який володіє віртуозною технікою руху, скільки мімеограф — автор і режисер власної вистави, всі елементи якої виникають в процесі імпровізації.

West Bank and Gaza: Stress the importance and cost-effectiveness of postpartum care
Authors:   Frontiers in Reproductive Health
Published: December 2021

To assess maternal health care in the West Bank and Gaza, the Health, Development, Information, and Policy Institute conducted a study from May to August 2000. This study served as a baseline for the Pilot Health Project (PHP), which seeks to improve antenatal and postpartum services in three areas of the West Bank and Gaza. Seven local and international agencies are implementing PHP in collaboration with the Palestinian Ministry of Health and with funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development. Data sources for the baseline study consisted of service statistics, interviews with health-care providers, and exit interviews with antenatal, postpartum, and family planning clients at the 27 study clinics. As this summary notes, Palestinian women have access to antenatal and postpartum care as well as family planning services, although few seek postpartum services; both clients and health-care providers have limited knowledge about reproductive health (RH); and RH services could be improved by the provision of standardized protocols for RH care in primary health-care clinics and pre- and in-service training for providers.
Zambia: Peer educators can promote safer sex behaviors
Authors:   Frontiers in Reproductive Health
Published: December 2021

Zambian adolescents are at high risk of unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and HIV infection due to early sexual initiation, low use of contraceptives and condoms, and other high-risk sexual behaviors. During 1996–1998, CARE Zambia and the Population Council conducted a study to test community-based approaches to improve adolescent sexual and reproductive health. CARE Zambia talked to adolescents in four communities outside Lusaka. Using participatory learning and action techniques, researchers identified factors leading to high-risk sexual behaviors, including lack of economic, recreational, and educational opportunities for youth. This information helped to design the study. Two interventions—condom distribution by peer educators and small business loans to youth—led to safer sexual practices among adolescents in peri-urban communities. Both program participants and their peers reported an increase in abstinence and monogamy and a decrease in STIs. As noted in this brief, youth in the intervention areas were better informed about ways to prevent HIV/AIDS than those in the control group, however the interventions did not lead to greater use of contraception or condoms for dual protection.
A Critical Textual Analysis of Gender Disparities in Reneilwe Malatji’s Selected Short Stories
Authors: Maenetja Nelly , Mogoboya Mphoto , Nkealah Naomi
Published: December 2021

This article demonstrates the abstractness of the gender theory of motherism posited by Nigerian scholar Catherine Acholonu, showing its weakness as a theory by which to gauge rural women’s experiences in Africa. Using the short stories of South African writer Reneilwe Malatji as literary data, the article argues that gender works in conspiracy with culture, age, marital status and ethnicity to constrain rural women from exiting abusive marriages, speaking up against their husbands’ infidelities, ending dissatisfactory marriages, and fighting poverty. At the same time, Malatji’s short stories highlight the agency of rural women in resisting gender constraints to attain self-empowerment. The article proposes ultimately that a re-theorization of motherism must reflect the harsh realities in rural women’s lives and simultaneously show that alongside the debilitating experiences of patriarchal oppression women are also acting as agents of their own transformation.
Respecting the Nonhuman Other: Individual Natural Otherness and the Case for Incommensurability of Moral Standing
Authors: Wienhues Anna
Published: December 2021

The concept of natural otherness can be found throughout the environmental ethics literature. Drawing on this concept, this article pursues two aims. For one, it argues for an account of individual natural otherness as stable difference as opposed to accounts of natural otherness that put more emphasis on independence for the purpose of differentiating individual natural otherness from the concept of wildness. Secondly, this account of natural otherness is engaged to argue for a particular way of theorising the moral standing of individual nonhuman entities. While individual natural otherness in itself does not provide an account of whether an entity matters morally in itself (that is, whether it is morally considerable); it points to an account of incommensurable moral significance for all entities which are attributed moral considerability. That is an often-overlooked alternative to egalitarian or hierarchical accounts of moral significance. Individual natural otherness understood in this way in turn provides another explanatory story for why relational accounts of environmental ethics that strongly emphasise the importance of concepts such as wildness are particularly salient.
African Worldviews, Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Development
Authors: Kelbessa Workineh
Published: December 2021

This paper explores the role of African worldviews in biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. African worldviews recognise the interdependence and interconnectedness of human beings, animals, plants and the natural world. Although it is not always the case that what one does depends on what one thinks and believes, indigenous African people's ideas and beliefs about the human–nature relationship have influenced what they have done in and to nature. In African worldviews, the present generation has moral obligations to the ancestors and future generations. It ought to preserve the environment, which is rich in biodiversity, for posterity. This paper insists that it is extremely urgent that every effort be made to document the knowledge of peasant farmers and indigenous people in general. This paper further stresses that indigenous environmental knowledge makes a big difference to sustaining diverse environments, and it is imperative to preserve such knowledge before it dies out.

Online financial transactions play a crucial role in today’s economy. It becomes an unavoidable part of the business and global activities. Transaction fraud executes thoughtful intimidations to e-commerce spending. Now-a-days, the online contract or business is fetching additional sound by knowing the types of online transaction frauds associated with, these are raising which disturbs the currency accompanying business. It has the capability to confine and encumber the contract accomplished by the intruder from an honest consumer’s credit card information. In order to avoid such a problem, the proposed system is established transaction limit for the customers. Efficient data is only considered for detecting fraudulent user action and it happens only at the time of registration. Transaction which is happening for any individual is not at all known to any FDS (Fraud Detection System) consecutively at the bank which mainly issues credit cards to customers. To speak out this problem, BLA (Behaviour and Location Analysis) is executed. The FDS tracks at a credit card provided by bank. All the inbound business is directed to the FDS aimed at confirmation, authentication and verification. FDS catches the card particulars and matter to confirm that the operation is fake or genuine. The pick-up merchandises are unknown to Fraud Detection System. If the transaction is assumed to be fraud, then the corresponding bank declines it. In order to verify the individuality, uniqueness or originality, it uses spending patterns and geographical area.

Published: December 2021

Our proposed system discusses the concept of a smart wearable device connected to their parent’s mobile phone for children and their parents respectively. In this project we propose that to let the system be divided into three parts, namely the safe, intermediate and danger zones. If the child is within the safe zone, then no buzzer is sounded whereas if the child is in the intermediate range a buzzer alert will be sounded. If the child crosses the ‘danger’ zone, the buzzer is sounded with an immediate notification sent to the parent. In case the child goes out of danger zone, a GPS module is attached that would help parent know the exact location of the child once he/she is outside the 100meters of radius from the parent. This project also has features to sense the child’s temperature and heartbeat along with notifying the child’s parent in case the child has an accident using the temperature, heartbeat and pressure sensors respectively. The RSSI is used for distance sensing whereas GSM is used for notification sending to the parent’s mobile phone.
