Systematic Approach to Teaching Academic Writing: Practical Experience
Authors: Abramova I. E. , Ananyina A. V.
Published: September 2021

The article describes the practical implementation of an experimental model for teaching academic writing to non-linguistic students of humanities at three levels of higher education. Improving the quality of domestic scientific publications submitted to high-ranking journals requires new effective pedagogical technologies. Theory and methodology analysis, as well as empirical observations show that the problems faced by Russian-speaking authors of academic texts can be divided into two categories: strong Russian accent that creates the language barrier and hinders understanding, and flawed academic style that leads to the cross-cultural academic barrier. The described ten-year study involved 25 students of Petrozavodsk State University, aged 17 to 28, who subsequently completed bachelor’s, master’s and postgraduate programs. At each of the three stages, the participants completed a set of tasks aimed at consistent and systematic formation of academic writing competence through writing abstracts (bachelors), conference proceedings (master’s students) and full-text academic articles (postgraduate students). To collect and process the data, the researchers used an open-ended questionnaire, the observation method, expert assessment, and descriptive statistics. The study results showed that the systematic approach helps to effectively eliminate structural and stylistic writing problems over the course of studies. However, the difficulties associated with the manifestation of the Russian accent in written English-language academic discourse are more resistant. The authors make the conclusion that the systematic development of academic writing skills in English will help to overcome obstacles for the internationalization of Russian science.

The project called “5-100” has been established in Russia in 2013 for the period of time from 2013 up to 2020. It was supposed that this project would be resulted in entry of 5 Russian universities into 100 highest positions of the world university ratings. 21 Russian universities were chosen as the participants of the project. To achieve the purpose of the project, every chosen university received considerable financial support from the Russian federal government. Among others, two universities from the city of Tomsk – Tomsk State University (TSU) and Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) were the participants of this project. In spite of the identical starting points, the universities have demonstrated substantially different results by the end of the project implementation. In this article, we attempted to explain the difference of the results through difference of the corporate cultures of both universities. The corporate culture study has been done using OCAI method. The study showed that TGU’s corporate culture looks like more competitive than TPU’s one. It was proved by the comparison of the TPU and TGU cultures with cultures of the foreign universities.

Published: September 2021

Mobile apps are designed and specifically developed for a specific purpose. They are widely used nowadays as they benefit many users of different age groups, both the old and young. Although various apps caters to the different needs of the senior citizen users are available, there is a lack in understanding of how usability features of these apps influence the acceptance among the senior citizens. Though many of the existing studies proposed several features that may be beneficial to older users, it is unclear how these features promote the acceptance of mobile apps for older users in countries like Malaysia. Aiming to address this inadequacy, the current study investigate the needs, expectations, and usability features of several mobile apps that are relevant for the Malaysian senior citizen people, aged 65 years and above. The usability evaluation of the developed prototype was performed by using the System Usability Scale (SUS). Based on results of the evaluation, it was concluded that the inclusion of an elder-friendly usability feature can increase the acceptance of mobile apps among the senior citizens.

Authors: Bhuiyan Bashir Ahmed
Published: September 2021

Academic institution plays a catalytic role in changing society through knowledge generation, dissemination, and application in the knowledge-driven economy. Every academic institution must address issues like the growth of population, socio-demographic changes, shifts in macro-economic variables, and globalization for their survival in the competitive environment. Through educational entrepreneurship, an institution can seize opportunities by implementing sustainable strategies and innovations, best business practices, and competitive operations. This paper examined how Politeknik Brunei is practicing institutional entrepreneurship by providing market-responsive knowledge and skills to students, developing infrastructure, and implementing educational and administrative systems. This paper reviewed the plans, policies, rules, and sets of regulations of Politeknik Brunei by using content analysis and citation methods. A qualitative approach was employed to meet the research goals,. A multidimensional framework is suggested to ensure that entrepreneurial academic institutions have a dynamic equilibrium and fulfill stakeholders’ expectations. If Politeknik Brunei applies this framework, its competitive position could be improved by balancing multiple interests of all stakeholders to achieve long-term development goals through competitive operations.
EXPLORING BEHAVIORAL AND ATTITUDINAL BRAND LOYALTY USING TRIPARTITE MODEL OF ATTITUDE
Authors: Mustaffa Abaidullah , Abdul Rahman Mariati , Nawai Sulaiman
Published: September 2021

Previously, scholars have studied behavioral and attitudinal brand loyalties separately by. Brand loyalty was first studied with behavior as one dimension in the brand loyalty structure, which predominantly measures brand loyalty by repeat purchase. However, the stochastic paradigm that views behavior as a single dimension cannot explain the motivation for consistent repeat purchase behavior. Subsequently, the stochastic paradigm was replaced with a deterministic paradigm that views attitude as a single dimension of brand loyalty. Since brand loyalty is a psychological abstraction in nature, scholars viewed that a combined approach of behavior and attitude is more appropriate to address the issue of brand loyalty. This paper proposes a Tripartite Model of Attitude to explain the dimensions and determinants of brand loyalty by combining behavioral loyalty and attitudinal loyalty in one framework.
WORKING CAPITAL FINANCING PREFERENCE AMONG SMALL BUSINESSES IN CAMBODIA
Authors: Ma'aji Muhammad M. , Sok Phouneta , Long Chanramy
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this paper is to investigate working capital financing preference among small businesses in Cambodia using a quantitative and qualitative approach. Small business often relies heavily on internal finance as a major source of short-term finance for working capital needs. This is because small businesses are likely to face problems associated with their size when accessing external finance, such as information asymmetry and higher agency costs. Interestingly, using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, the findings lead us to believe that these firms mostly relied on internal sources (retained profit, early settlement discount, delayed payment to suppliers) of finance as compared to external sources (bank loan and equity). In some cases, they have to rely on informal sources (private, family, friend, money counting/lenders, funds/wealthy families, rotating savings and credit associations) to finance working capital requirement. These results suggest that firms experience significant information costs that prevent them from gaining access to traditional sources of financing. The findings of the study will be useful to the financial institutions that fund SMEs and can help the policymakers to formulate strategies and programs that will support SMEs at different stages of the financial chain in Cambodia.

Published: September 2021

Diabetes has become a serious public health concern. The objective of the present study is to examine the sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associated with consumption of sugar-sweetened food among different age groups of households in Malaysia. A nationally representative data (n = 14838) is used for secondary analysis. Multiple regressions are used to examine the independent effects of sociodemographic and lifestyle factors on household expenditure on sugar-sweetened food. Analyse are stratified by age group. Households headed by older individuals tend to spend more on sugar-sweetened food than households headed by younger individuals. Household size is positively associated with household consumption of sugar-sweetened food. Bumiputera households spend more on sugar-sweetened food than non-Bumiputera households. Sociodemographic and lifestyle factors play an important role in determining consumption of sugar-sweetened food. Policy makers should pay special attention to the types of households that consume a lot of sugar-sweetened food.

Creep Properties of Expansive Soils under Triaxial Drained Conditions and its Nonlinear Constitutive Model
Authors: Li Jingjing , Kong Lingwei
Published: September 2021

The creep behaviors of expansive soils play an important role in landslide prediction and long-term stability analysis. In this paper, triaxial drained compression creep tests of expansive soils were conducted on the improved stress-controlled triaxial apparatus. The test results show that only transient deformation and attenuation creep occur with low deviator stress, and the increment of axial strain increases exponentially with deviator stress increasing; while deviator stress reaches a certain value, attenuation creep, steady creep and accelerated creep all occur in a creep curve. Meanwhile, the volumetric strain presents the shear shrinkage characteristic at the initial stage of loading, and the shear shrinkage is small. With the extension of loading time, the volumetric strain gradually varies from shear contraction to dilatancy. When entering the accelerated creep stage, the development rate of volumetric strain increases sharply. Besides, isochronous stress-strain curves of expansive soils indicate that their creep process possesses nonlinear characteristics, and the nonlinear degree is related to creep time and stress level. Imitating the empirical formula of cyclic cumulative deformation of clay, a new nonlinear creep model is presented, which may well describe the creep property of expansive soils. Furthermore, critical failure stress could be obtained based on the proposed creep model. The ratio of the critical failure stress to conventional shear failure stress ranges from 70% to 80%, with average of 75.56%, therefore, critical failure stress may be estimated by conventional triaxial tests with the margin of error 5.5% within.

En el transcurso del estudio, se encontró que los campos de interacción típicos (universales) entre las cámaras del parlamento están representados por el ámbito legislativo (implementado en el transcurso de la adopción de leyes, celebrando reuniones conjuntas en diversas ocasiones); ámbito organizativo y de personal (prevé la participación consolidada de las cámaras durante la formación de los poderes públicos, así como el nombramiento de los funcionarios); la esfera de control, que está representada por tres tipos: personal y control (relacionado con la implementación del procedimiento de acusación contra el jefe de Estado, renuncia de altos funcionarios del Estado, expresión de desconfianza en el gobierno), organizacional y de control (se refiere a la formación de comisiones conjuntas permanentes y temporales por las cámaras del parlamento) y control financiero (asume la participación consolidada de las cámaras para la aprobación del presupuesto estatal); el ámbito internacional (se refiere a las actividades conjuntas de las cámaras en el curso de la ratificación o denuncia de tratados internacionales, la declaración del estado de guerra o la concertación de la paz). Se concluye que las esferas típicas de interacción entre las cámaras parlamentarias en los países sudamericanos demuestran los enfoques del legislador para el desarrollo de la interacción entre las cámaras parlamentarias.

Growth performance, carcass characteristics and production costs associated with feeding crossbred indigenous chicken on traditional buttermilk coated diets were evaluated. Three batches of day-old Indigenous x Kuroiler crossbred chicks were raised on a commercial diet for one month. At one month, chicken in each of the three batches were weighed and randomly divided into 3 equal groups. Each group comprised of 20 birds. Chicken in each group were either fed coated (dry buttermilk coated maize-bran), combined (buttermilk coated maize bran + commercial diet) or a commercial (control) diet. Average final live weight and feed intake were similar across the three dietary treatments (P>0.05). Feed to gain ratio significantly varied (P<0.05) across dietary treatments with buttermilk coated diets having the highest feed to gain ratio (7.27) compared to combined (4.38) and commercial (3.88) diets. Coated and combined diets yielded similar dressing percentage of 60.2 and 62 compared to 65% obtained with commercial diets. Carcass and organ yield was similar (P>0.05) across dietary treatments. On a 5 point hedonic scale, chicken meat produced using coated diets was more acceptable (2.0), compared to combined (2.1) and commercial (3.1) diets (P<0.05). The highest gross margins accrued from feeding combined and commercial diets. Over-all, results provide evidence of the potential of the combined diet to attain similar growth performance, carcass yield and gross margins as the commercial diet at lower cost.

Objective : COVID-19 has spread worldwide since the first case was reported in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Our institution is a regional trauma and emergency center in the northern Gyeonggi Province. The changing trend of patient care in the emergency room of this hospital likely reflects the overall trend of patients in the area. In the present study, whether changes in the surrounding social environment following the outbreak of COVID-19 changed the incidence of neurosurgical emergency patients and whether differences in practice existed were investigated.Methods : The overall trend was analyzed from January 2020 which is before the outbreak of COVID-19 to September 2020. To remove bias due to seasonal variation, the previous 2 year's records during the same period were reviewed and compared. Confirmed COVID-19 patients in the northern Gyeonggi Province were identified using data released by the government. And patients who came to the emergency department with head trauma and stroke were identified.Results : Based on the present study results, the total number of neurosurgery emergency patients decreased over the study period. In the trauma patient group, the number of patients not involved in traffic accidents significantly decreased compared with patients involved in traffic accidents. Among the stroke cases, the rate of ischemic stroke was lower than hemorrhagic stroke, although a statistically significant difference was not observed. Meanwhile, an increase in the risk of mortality associated with trauma or stroke cases was not observed during the COVID-19 outbreak compared with the same time period in the previous year.Conclusion : Due to the occurrence of COVID-19, non-essential activities have decreased and trauma cases not associated with traffic accidents appeared to decrease. Due to the decrease in overall activity, the number of stroke patients has also decreased. This trend is expected to continue even in the post-COVID-19 era, and accordingly, the results from the present study are relevant especially if the current situation continues.

Sidoarjo Regency is one of the megapolitan Gerbang Kertosusilo. The planted area during the rainy season and dry season reaches 30,000 ha. The area of paddy fields continues to decline, namely 26,334 ha (2002), 22,460 ha (2010), and an estimated 13,544 ha (2009–2029). Sidoarjo Regency Irrigation Service as executor of irrigation management is of course inseparable from construction project activities. In the implementation of the construction of new irrigation networks as well as in rehabilitation and maintenance, it is necessary to implement project management. Before the project is implemented, it must first be submitted through proposals from the village level. In following up the proposal the writer used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis method. With four aspects that affect the determination of the proposal: The results of the analysis obtained the weight of each criterion as follows: Service Area (ha) 0.3179, Cost 0.3159, Benefits 0.3217, and Network Conditions 0.0445. The results of the above analysis obtained priority ranking from the first to the last sequence as follows: Plengsengan Gedangrowo Channel, Normalization of Reform Channels, Installation of floodgates, Plengsengan ChannelsDs.

Jombang sub-district is the most densely populated sub-district because it is located in the middle of Jombang district and is also the center of government. Because it is a densely populated area, resulting in many changes in land use, green land for absorption has turned into a watertight area. The results of the analysis from this aspect indicate that several channels in Jombang District are not able to accommodate the design flood discharge. The calculation of the height of rain design in this study used the Log Person type III method with a return period of 5 years, which resulted in the design rainfall of 157 mm. The results of the analysis show that there are 8 channels out of 74 that are unable to accommodate the design flood discharge. After planning the infiltration wells, a different number was obtained for each road. For Jalan Sentot Prawirodirjo, there are 8 infiltration wells with a reduction power of 51.62%.
