An Evaluation of the Materials Deployed in English Language Proficiency Courses for Postgraduate Applicants: A Content- Based Study
Authors: Muhedeen Bekhal Latif
Published: September 2022

There is broad recognition that a textbook, among other components, plays an important role in many English language classrooms today. As a result, its evaluation is a significant issue to guarantee its contribution to the success of the teaching- learning process. Evaluating textbooks and other instructional materials used in the teaching- learning contexts is one of the responsibilities of teachers. The textbooks adopted in Kurdistan university language centers are no exception. Hence, the present paper is an attempt to conduct a post-use evaluation for the content of one of the textbooks (Interchange 3) used at the intermediate level in Kurdistan university English language proficiency courses. It aims to determine the areas of strengths and weaknesses of the textbook content and to see to what extent it was appropriate in helping the learners improve their level of English from the teachers’ perspectives. The textbook is analyzed using a descriptive content analysis method. For this purpose, 23 teachers who taught this textbook in six different language centers were asked to participate and the data were obtained through a 24-item questionnaire suggested by Demir and Ertaș (2014). The results of the content analysis indicated that the teachers are highly satisfied with the textbook under evaluation regardless of some deficiencies in certain aspects of the textbook - and that the textbook suited the teaching/ learning context as it could provide sufficient meaningful opportunities for the learners to communicate with the target language.

Authors: Mohammad Yonis Omar , Aziz Parzheen Shekh Mohammad
Published: September 2022

The work of the external audit is to provide services for auditing the financial statements and expressing an opinion on the financial statements in the economic units، and as it is known، the parties benefiting from the financial statements are many and many، such as investors، lenders، shareholders، and the government. In order to ensure the correctness and fairness of the financial statements، they must be audited by a person or an auditing institution، and this is what is called an external audit. Here، the importance of external auditing appears in the completion of high-quality and superior work to give reassurance to the parties using the financial statements. The research aims to define the requirements and scope of international auditing standards No. (220) and (700)، as well as assessing the quality of the professional performance of the external auditor by applying to five auditing offices operating in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq - Erbil to find out the strengths and weaknesses of the external auditor in the audit process By knowing the extent of his commitment in professional performance and in preparing the final report، with the requirements of international auditing standards No. (220 and 700). The research reached a number of conclusions، the most important of which is the following: The highest audit quality indicator was achieved by the Account Control Office No. (5) in accordance with the requirements of standards (220) and (700). And the lowest audit quality indicator in relation to compliance with the requirements of the standard (220) was achieved by the Account Control Office No. (1) As for the lowest audit quality indicator in relation to compliance with the requirements of the standard (700)، it was achieved by the Audit Office No. (2).. The most important recommendation is the researchers' recommendation to adopt international auditing standards in general، as it adds credibility to financial reports and contributes to supporting and achieving quality in the audit process.

Compounding is an effectiv process of morphology to produce new items in dictionary. In this research we focus on compound adjectives in general and its’ properties in in French language. In this research we easily identify that compound adjectives are very rarely studied compared to compound nouns. This research starts by an introduction about compound adjectives and then the basic items that are used to create compound adjectives are presented, then we foucus on the cases that are no considerd as compound in French language, after that we specify the types of compounding and the pattern that are used to form compound adjectives in French language. At the end we talk about endocentric and exocentric compound adjectives. Finaly, we come to the conclution that this subject is ill-posed and very far from being clearly resolved and thesre are many different approaches to define this subject. For this reason, we tried to present add the different approaches.

Published: September 2022

Este documento revisa la literatura de estudios que se realizaron sobre la estructura de mercado del sector bancario y su relación con el crecimiento económico para el alcance de más investigaciones acerca del tema en cuestión. La importancia de este estudio es mostrar el comportamiento de mercado del sector bancario, es decir si es monopolio, competencia monopolística o de competencia perfecta, con el fin de determinar el impacto que tendría sobre el crecimiento económico. La búsqueda de bibliografías se realiza principalmente en las revistas que se encuentran en la plataforma Scopus y se toma en cuenta aquellas revistas que se encuentran en el cuartil 1 (Q1), tomando un total de 53 artículos. El análisis de la literatura muestra que el sector bancario tiene un comportamiento de competencia monopolística pero que se acerca a un mercado de competencia perfecta, y la relación que existe entre los créditos y crecimiento económico es positiva además el sistema financiero debe ser competitivo y eficiente como un requisito previo para tener un impacto sobre el crecimiento económico.
Modelowanie pandemii w narracjach spekulatywnych: «„Andromeda” znaczy śmierć» (1969) Michaela Crichtona i „The Andromeda Evolution” (2019) Daniela H. Wilsona
Authors: Borowski Mateusz
Published: September 2022

Covid-19 pandemic has brought public attention to digital methods of modeling contagion, which have been used not only to predict the future of the infection, but also assess its scope of impact on population and the chances for achieving herd immunity. As a result new outbreak narratives come into being in which algorithmic data processing gains agency in shaping the dynamics of contagion. His unprecedented reliance on modeling tools has decidedly changed the way we think about epidemic, conceptualized now as a phenomenon which to an equal extent is shaped by natural, cultural and technological factors. He paper argues that the major outlet for these new metaphors of contagion, which Milton Singer termed syndemic, are speculative narratives combining fiction with scientific and medical data as well as insights into the functioning of the digital modeling apparatus. His aspect of the current pandemic provides a good vantage point for taking a closer look at a handful of speculative narratives which bring to the foreground the relationship between modeling and social impact of contagion. By reading Michael Crichton’s technothriller The Andromeda Strain (1969) and its sequel, Daniel H. Wilson’s The Andromeda Evolution (2019), I intend to demonstrate how speculative fabulations engages and contests methods of contagion modeling, bringing into play other forms of non-scientiIc knowledge and practices of survival.
Widma i kości. Pandemiczna lektura „Kości, które nosisz w kieszeni” Łukasza Barysa
Authors: Michalski Mateusz Adam
Published: September 2022

This article presents a pandemic interpretation of Łukasz Barys 2021 debut, The bones you carry in your pocket. It aims to analyze the impact of the virus as a „spectrum” (Derrida) on the life of the individual and to look at the „assamblage” (Žižek) effect of the pandemic. It encompasses the „human and the non-human” (Žižek), bringing together a constellation of „postmemory” (Hirsh) spectres, traumas, bones, death and past that begins to dominate reality. The narrative is thus the testimony of an individual living in a world of blight. However, it is a latent and silent testimony. It can be found in the descriptions underlined between family traumas and the grime of everyday life, in which death, love and illness are constantly mixed together.

При взаимодействии бензонитрильного комплекса палладия (II) [Pd(PhCN)2Cl2] c глиоксаль-бис(2-гидрокси-3,5-дитретбутилфенил)имином (H2L) происходит внутримолекулярная перегруппировка H2L в соответствующий тетрагидробензоксазинобензоксозин (L’) и его координация к Pd(II) с образованием соединения [Pd(L’)Cl2]•(CH3)2CO (1•(CH3)2CO). С помощью рентгеноструктурного анализа определена его кристаллическая структура. Атом Pd в структуре находится в плоскоквадратном окружении из двух атомов Cl и двух атомов N лиганда L’. Проведены квантово-химические расчеты в рамках теории функционала плотности и изучено электронное строение 1. Показано, что связи Pd-N и Pd-Cl носят промежуточный характер. В рамках NBO анализа обнаружены орбитали трехцентровых связей N-Pd-Cl. Образование таких трехцентровых связей можно представить как результат донирования электронной плотности с орбиталей неподеленных электронных пар атомов азота на σ*-орбитали связей Pd-Cl.

Primeros registros de presencia y reproducción del mirlo dorso rufo (Turdus rufopalliatus) en la ciudad de Querétaro, Querétaro, México
Authors: Pineda-López Rubén , Malagamba Rubio  Alejandro
Published: September 2022

El mirlo dorso rufo (Turdus rufopalliatus) es una especie endémica del oeste de México. Desde mediados del siglo pasado se ha registrado fuera de su zona de distribución geográfica original, en el sur de los Estados Unidos de América y en ciudades y zonas naturales del centro y centro-oeste de México, en la ciudad de México y los estados de Oaxaca, Puebla, Tlaxcala, México, San Luis Potosí, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato y Baja California Sur. Como resultado de un estudio de la avifauna de 27 zonas arboladas de la ciudad de Querétaro, llevado a cabo en los meses de julio y agosto de 2009, reportamos el primer registro de la presencia y reproducción del mirlo dorso rufo en la capital queretana. El mayor número de mirlos dorso rufo se observó en zonas con valores altos de cobertura arbórea y árboles de más de 10 m de altura. En tres de estas zonas se observaron cinco nidos, tres de ellos activos, en los cuales la pareja de mirlos realizaba múltiples visitas llevando alimento, observándose dos pollos en dos de ellos. En dos zonas se registraron juveniles. Lo anterior sugiere que la población de esta especie de mirlo podría comenzar a establecerse en la ciudad de Querétaro.

Como resultado de varios trabajos avifaunísticos en la ciudad de Querétaro, México, reportamos por primera vez la presencia de Streptopelia decaocto, Myiopsitta monachus y Sturnus vulgaris; teniendo esta última registros previos en el estado de Querétaro. El número de registros de S. decaocto que presentamos no son abundantes, mientras que en el caso de M. monachus observamos hasta 40 individuos y un nido. S. vulgaris está ampliamente distribuída en las zonas arboladas de la ciudad, donde observamos su reproducción. Discutimos el potencial de estas especies para colonizar la zona y causar algún impacto ecológico o económico. Sugerimos impedir la importación de M. monachus como medida preventiva de los daños que puede causar en ciudades y zonas agrícolas.

Authors: Molina David , Torres Guerrero Jaime , Avelarde-Gómez María de la Luz
Published: September 2022

El estero El Salado fue declarado Zona de Conservación Ecológica en 2000. Es un área natural protegida con una superficie de 235 ha que se encuentra completamente conurbada; pese a esto, presenta una integridad ecológica relativamente bien conservada, estando presentes especies dentro de alguna categoría de riesgo. El conocimiento de las aves en el estero El Salado está limitado a las aves acuáticas y al listado general presentado en su Plan de Manejo. Durante el periodo 2002-2009, se realizaron muestreos no sistemáticos para actualizar el listado de especies de aves. En el presente estudio, realizamos recorridos mensuales en trayectos para evaluar la riqueza de especies de aves durante el periodo julio-diciembre de 2010. Registramos 131 especies, siendo 52 nuevos registros en el área, elevándose así la riqueza total a 160 especies. De las 108 especies previamente consideradas en el Área Natural Protegida hasta 2007, 29 especies no fueron observadas, principalmente aves acuáticas. La riqueza de aves registrada es mayor que en otros humedales de Bahía de Banderas; asimismo, la protección del predio ha beneficiado su restauración. Localmente, representa una “isla” en un paisaje urbanizado y un atractor de vida silvestre. La diversidad de ambientes ha favorecido el uso del área por diversos gremios de aves.

Reportamos la presencia del gavilán caracolero (Rostrhamus sociabilis) en Jalisco tras observar a un individuo en la desembocadura del río Marabasco. En México, esta especie se circunscribe al sureste del país, Istmo de Tehuantepec, parte de Veracruz, y ocasionalmente en las costas de Chiapas, Guerrero y Colima; su presencia en Colima y Jalisco se ha reportado por observadores de aves. Los reportes de esta especie en Colima, a partir de 1998, se explican por la introducción del caracol Pomacea sp. y la naturaleza semi-nómada de la especie. La presencia de R. sociabilis en Jalisco y Colima es importante ya que incrementa el área de distribución de esta especie sujeta a protección especial por las leyes mexicanas.
Factores que afectan el peso promedio de la “tórtola coquita” o “mukuy” (Columbina passerina) en la reserva de Dzilam, Yucatán
Authors: Leirana Alcocer Jorge L. , Hernández Betancourt Silvia , Guerrero González Leonardo
Published: September 2022

En este trabajo evaluamos algunos factores que influyen en el peso corporal de Columbina passerinahabitando en diferentes etapas sucesionales de la selva baja caducifolia del estado de Yucatán. Colectamos muestras, de diciembre de 2004 a diciembre de 2005, en fragmentos de selva baja con cuatro diferentes edades de abandono: (1) >10 años, (2) ≥5 y ≤10 años, (3) <5 años y (4) pastizal en uso para ganadería. Empleamos diez redes de niebla durante 12/mes/sitio, acumulando un esfuerzo de muestreo de 1,440 horas/red por sitio. Pesamos 56 individuos. No encontramos diferencias significativas entre sexos. Analizamos la influencia del tiempo de abandono y la estacionalidad en la variación del peso de C. passerina usando una ANDEVA factorial. El peso promedio fue de 39 g. La estacionalidad tuvo un efecto en la diferencia de pesos, pero la edad de abandono no. En las parcelas con menos años de abandono capturamos el 96% de los individuos, lo que quizá se deba a que la abundancia de especies de plantas con semillas pequeñas se presente en las primeras etapas sucesionales. Los mayores pesos se encontraron en la época de lluvias, cuando casi todas las especies de plantas producen semillas, ya que éste es un ecosistema estacional. En ecorregiones altamente productivas de Centroamérica se encontraron pesos de entre 30 y 35 g para la especie, lo que sugiere que los ecosistemas más productivos no necesariamente tienen más recursos para esta especie.

Published: September 2022

Communication of high-quality business and financial information to decision-makers helps to get clear insights on the business outlook and assists them in making timely decisions. Financial reporting acts as a media to disseminate the information of the business to various interested parties by providing operating and financial insights through financial statements, notes to accounts and other footnotes and narratives in the Annual Business Report (ABR). Today stakeholders of the business are very keen in getting both financial and non-financial information in a single report i.e., ABR. Therefore, the companies are required to communicate enhanced information in their ABR to facilitate and assist the stakeholders in their decision-making process. The method of dissemination of both business and financial information in a single ABR is EBR Model (Enhanced Business Reporting Model). The EBR model of communication is only possible by the application of XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language). The purpose of present paper is to analyze the impact of XBRL on the quality of financial reporting. For this purpose, the study analyzed the financial reporting pattern of 23 select companies in India through the analysis of their annual reports from 2005 to 2020. To derive valid conclusions Tukey test, dummy variable regression analysis techniques were employed and concluded that XBRL has made a significant impact on the quality of financial reporting of select companies.

The purpose of this study was to describe students' perceptions of augmented reality learning media in solar system topics. The type of research used was descriptive research. The participants involved in this study were 32 students from class 8C of State Junior High School 3 Sidoarjo, Indonesia. The instruments used consist of a student perception questionnaire and an interview. The questionnaire has been validated previously and consists of 5 questions about the concept of planets and the concept of the moon concerning augmented reality learning media. The results showed indicators 1, 4, and 6 obtained the highest score of 97%. It means that students can easily understand these indicators using augmented reality. Indicator 2 got the lowest result of 72%, meaning that students have little difficulty understanding the indicator using augmented reality but are still in the good category. As many as 87% of students rated that augmented reality learning media is very helpful in understanding the material of the solar system. Data from interviews with six students also support this result. They stated that augmented reality is the most effective learning media in studying solar system topics because students considered it more transparent, more interesting, more comfortable to use, and more accessible for students to understand. In conclusion, augmented reality learning media has proven to be effectively used in learning solar system topics. It also can be applied to other abstract science topics that are difficult for students to find in everyday life.

O Clero e a Independência
Authors: Rodrigues José Honório
Published: September 2022

Quando se iniciou a luta pela independência já havia uma tradição legendária de patriotas de batina, que se batiam pela liberdade pátria, ainda que com sacrifício da vida. A conjuração mineira e a revolução de 1817 eram exemplos vivos e atuantes. A agitação revolucionária e emancipadora atraía para a causa numerosos padres e frades. A participação desprendida do clero na vida pública, nas lutas políticas, impelido pelo entusiasmo patriótico, pelo liberalismo, pela aspiração de liberdade, vinha da colónia e se fortificara na hora da independência...
Outcomes of Late-Life Depression (Clinical and Follow-Up Study)
Authors: Safarova T. P.
Published: September 2022

Background: currently the relevance of the problem of late depression and the study of their outcomes is determined by the increase in their prevalence, difficulties in diagnosis and therapy.Objective: to study the outcomes of depression during a 3-year follow-up. This publication contains a clinical description of the study cohort of patients with late-life depression.Patients and methods: a cohort of patients with depressive disorders who were treated in the gerontopsychiatric hospital of the FSBSI MHRC, followed up and re-examined 1 and 3 years after the discharge. The study sample at the time of inclusion made up 55 people aged 60 years and older: 17 men (30.91%) and 38 women (69.09%). The median age was 68 years [63; 76]. According to the ICD-10 classification, all patients were diagnosed with a depressive episode: 37 people (67.27%) had a depressive phase within recurrent depressive disorder (DDR — F33), 16 people (29.1%) had a depressive phase within bipolar affective disorder (BD — F31) and a single depressive episode (DE — F32) — in 2 patients (3.63%). All patients were examined using clinical, psychometric, immunological and follow-up methods (follow-up assessment was carried out after 1 year and 3 years). The favorable course was attributed to the formation of complete remissions or the recurrence of depression against the background of complete remission during the period of follow-up. An unfavorable option is the recurrence of depression against the background of incomplete remission, chronification of depression, the outcome of dementia and death.Results and conclusion: a comparative study of the short-term (1 year) and remote (3 years) outcomes of depression showed in both cases a predominance of unfavorable cases of the course of the disease (52.9 and 54.9%, respectively). One year after 27 patients (52.9%) had incomplete remission with residual depressive disorders, and in 3 years follow-up 20 people (39.2%) had incomplete remission and 8 people (15.7%) had chronic depression. With the same frequency (three patients each; 5.9%), the outcome in dementia was observed, and 3 patients (5.9%) died. All cases of dementia and death were registered in the group of patients with an unfavorable course of the disease. This publication contains a clinical description of the study cohort of patients with late-life depression. The next communication will content the results of clinical and immunological comparison to search some predictive features in different types of depression outcome in aged.
Motivation Disorders in Patients with Schizophrenia
Authors: Kuzminova M. V. , Solokhina T. А. , Nochevkina A. I.
Published: September 2022

Background: increasing the number of studies in the field of motivational disorders in patients with schizophrenia in recent decades indicates the interest of specialists in various fields of science not only in substantiating its theoretical foundations, but also in the possibility of solving applied problems related to increasing motivation.Objective: to present an overview of current domestic and foreign research on the relationship between clinical, socio-psychological, neurophysiological and other causes of motivational disorders in patients with schizophrenia in order to analyze the causes and mechanisms of motivational disorders.Materials and method: we searched the MedLine/PubMed, Scopus, eLibrary, Google Scholar databases for studies using the keywords “schizophrenia, motivation, amotivation”, “negative symptoms and motivation”, “motivation and social factors”, “motivation and neurobiological aspects” and selected scientific publications for the last 10 years. Some studies of an earlier period, usually classics of psychiatry and psychology, which also paid attention to the problems of motivation and negative disorders, were found by relevant references. 83 studies meeting the search criteria were selected.Results: the data presented in the review indicate that motivational disorders in schizophrenia are part of the structure of negative symptomatology and appear already in the prodromal stage of the disease. The authors find quite different approaches to systematization of negative symptoms in schizophrenia in Russia and abroad, where dominant are five-factor, two-factor, and hierarchical model of negative symptoms in schizophrenia, where five domains — blunting of affect, anhedonia, asociality, alogia, and avolition — are extremely important for diagnosis and correction of the disorders. Data from the literature indicate that the prognosis and outcome of schizophrenia, the response to therapy, both biological and psychosocial interventions, largely depend on the state of motivation. A high level of motivation is an important predictor of remission of schizophrenia. Most authors argue that motivation, both intrinsic and extrinsic, is a dynamic result of the interaction of clinical, psychophysiological, personal and socio-environmental factors. Intrinsic motivation is of primary importance for patients with schizophrenia, whose high level forms the basis for neurocognitive improvement. The review touches upon the neurobiological mechanisms of motivational disorders and presents the results of neuroimaging studies of motivational disorders.Conclusion: an understanding the factors of impact and causes of impaired motivation in schizophrenia will enable researchers to develop effective strategies to improve it, which will generally improve the prognosis of schizophrenia and the quality of life of patients.

Background: the increase in the life expectancy of a modern person is accompanied by an increase in the prevalence of neurocognitive disorders. Various indicators associated with biological age are consistent with neurocognitive deficits. In the process of ontogeny, a complex symbiotic relationship develops between the host and the microbe. Presumably, they are realized along the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The participation of the intestinal microbiota in the ontogeny of the brain is assumed. The purpose of review: based on a systematic review of the scientific literature, to summarize research data on the mechanisms of the influence of the intestinal microbiota on the aging processes of the central nervous system and the formation of cognitive disorders in Alzheimer’s disease.Materials and methods: 27 Russian-language and 257 English-language articles were selected from MedLine/PubMed and eLibrary from 2000 to 2022 by the keywords “gut microbiota”, “neurocognitive disorders”, “aging”, “neurodegeneration”, “Alzheimer’s disease”. The hypothesis about the participation of the microbiota in cerebral ontogeny made it possible to select 110 articles for analysis.Conclusion: this scientific review reflects the authors’ ideas about the systemic mechanisms of normal and pathological aging of the CNS and the multifactorial nature of the pathogenesis of neurocognitive disorders.
