Published: September 2021

ABSTRACTThis research paper concerned with the analysis of factor affecting ideological shift of text in the translation of literary work. As the data source, a novel entitled 'half of yellow sun' a work of Chimamanda Adichie was analyzed. The analysis was specified to clauses taken from the English and Indonesian version of the novel, as the data. Further, the researcher applied descriptive qualitative approach in collecting and analyzing the data. Halliday’s theory of metafunction, specified on the analysis of transitivity system was used as main theory. Moreover, the theory of ideology in translation was adopted in the analysis, as causal factor to see how translation ideology cause the ideological shift of text in translation. Then, the result of the analysis revealed that the intermetafunctional shift is the most significant category found in the text (90.24%), while the intra-metafunctional shift was only found once (9.75%).   It proved that there were significant change of ideology of text showed by the changing of the process of transitivity system. Morever, the result of analysis releaved that, the ideological shifts of text were mostly affected by domestication ideology with percentages 78.05%, and foreignization ideology by percentages 21.95% or equal to a quarter of the whole clauses. It means that the translator produced the translation based on her goal and point of view and ideology of target language's culture and trying to make the text as closely as possible to the target readers’ language. It means the ideological shift of text were affected by translation ideology in which the translator produced the translation based on her goal and point of view and ideology of target language's culture and trying to make the text as closely as possible to the target readers’ language.Keywords: Systemic Functonal Linguistics, Translation, Discourse Analysis, Ideological Shift, literary work

Authors:   Department of Financial Management, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka, Kengatharan Lingesiya
Published: September 2021

The study aimed to emphasize the determinants of dividend policy in Sri Lankan firms. This study was conducted with 80 non - financial companies which were listed on Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE). The empirical research was focused on panel data analysis, and data was collected from annual reports for a five year period from 2013 to 2017. This study explored selected factors that influence dividend policy, including sales growth, leverage, firm size, profitability, EPS, liquidity, and risk. The panel data analysis employed pooled OLS, fixed - effect, and random - effect models. Based on the analysis, the fixed - effect model was thought to be the best fit for studying the factors that affect dividend policy. According to the outcome of fixed-effect model, among the seven input variables considered in this study, profitability, EPS, and risk were negatively linked to dividend policy. However, no significant relationship was found between dividend policy and sales growth, leverage, firm size, or liquidity. The findings contribute to the understanding that three parameters namely: profitability, EPS, and risk have been recognized as factors affecting dividend payouts in CSE’s listed companies. Hence, policymakers will be able to concentrate on the factors that influence shareholder wealth maximization. Keywords: profitability, EPS, risk, dividend payout

Introduction: The migration of health professionals severely affects the current number of physicians and professionals in a country. Aim: The aim of our work was to investigate the reasons for the departure of physiotherapists already working abroad, to learn the working conditions abroad, and to explore the conditions for returning home. Method: Our data were obtained by a self-edited, online questionnaire survey. The number of items in our sample was 112 (N = 112) physiotherapists working abroad. Our research was conducted between November 2018 and February 2019. Results: Results of the most influential factors of migration were as follows: 62.5% (70 people) had a lack of financial reward, 55.4% (62 people) had a sense of uncertainty about the future, 49.1% (55 people) did not trust the Hungarian health care organization. The monthly salary of professionals working abroad varied between 1001-2000 Euros in 38.4% (43 people), between 2001 and 3000 in 38.4% (43 people) and was over 3000 Euros in 23.2% (26 people). 76.8% (86 people) didn''t take a second job because they didn''t need it. Factors influencing return were the following: 1) in 69.6% (78 people) “more favorite financial conditions”, 2) in 51.8% (58 people) “better working conditions”, 3) in 42.9% (48 people) “a better organized health care system. Conclusion: Physiotherapists working abroad have left mainly due to a better quality of life, a more predictable vision and more favorite financial conditions, and a change in these conditions would encourage them to return home the most.

Published: September 2021

Introduction. Handball players who manage to perform at the highest level have certain specific qualities. Through the results obtained in all world competitions, European national teams are considered the best teams in the world. Aim. The aim is to determine the current trend about the value of anthropometric indicators, primarily the body mass index, and its role in achieving performance. Materials and methods. The data of anthropometric parameters (age, height, weight, and body mass index - BMI) from 966 handball players who participated in 2016, 2018, and 2020 editions of the European Men''s Handball Championship had been analyzed. Next, the finalist and non-finalist teams'' BMI was analyzed, and then its evolution according to playing position. Results. The analysis shows that in the last three editions of the European Championship, an approximately constant value of the studied indicators is kept. The differences between the editions are not statistically significant. The average age is 27 years, the average weight is about 94 kg, the average height is 1.92 cm, and the BMI is 25. The body mass index did not register statistically significant differences for the same playing position in the last three editions analyzed. Conclusions. The data obtained from the study show what the current values of the leading anthropometric indicators of elite European handball players are. These indicators do not play an essential role in ranking in the first positions of the final tournament.
Feeding extinction: navigating the metonyms and misanthropy of palm oil boycotts
Authors: Fair Hannah
Published: September 2021

Among UK-based orangutan conservation supporters, palm oil consumption boycotts are widespread, due to the ecological impacts of oil palm cultivation on orangutan habitat. Yet these boycotts are largely at odds with the stances of orangutan charities. Drawing on interviews with orangutan supporters, this article explores why some Global North consumers are so consumed by palm oil. Palm oil is viewed by orangutan supporters as insidious, invasive and cheap, and forces a bodily complicity with orangutan suffering. It is mobilized as a metonym for human greed and capitalist destruction. This metonymic relationship mirrors broader Anthropocentric framings of human-nature relations, which emphasize humanity as a universal actor. Yet the practices of 'species guilt' associated with these framings largely mitigate against a decolonizing model of conservation, as they have the potential to deny agency to workers and villagers enmeshed within the oil palm economy. Despite these unpromising circumstances, this article explores the unintended value of palm oil boycotts in terms of agency and ecological consciousness and addresses the potential to align such boycotts with a decolonial analysis, through centering the human dimensions of orangutan conservation.

How Does International Financial Integration Really Affect Post-Transition Countries' Growth? Empirical evidence from the CEE-10 countries
Authors: Ganić Mehmed , Hrnjić Mahir
Published: September 2021

This paper seeks to empirically explore how an international financial integration influences a country’s GDP growth. The long run relationship is tested by PMG estimator for the sample of ten EU countries from Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe (CEE-10 countries) between 1995 and 2017. Prior to the conducting of dynamic panel analysis based on PMG estimators, several panel unit root tests were conducted, as well as panel co integration tests. The findings offer mixed impact financial integration on growth. Among the measures of financial integration, growth of the CEE-10 countries is mostly driven in the long run by FDI inflows as well as remittances and financial openness. On the contrary, the study suggests a reversal relationship between growth and financial integration measured by Gross Foreign Assets and Liabilities in percentages of GDP. It might be explained with a fact that CEE-10 countries have not yet reached a certain level of financial development in order to benefit from financial integration.

The study concludes that international financial integration does not per se enhance economic growth and country’s growth in the CEE-10 countries can be reached at a higher level of financial integration, further increase their financial openness and financial development.
Measuring Sovereign Credit Risk of the EU countries
Authors: Siuda Vojtěch , Szabo Milan
Published: September 2021

European countries have increased significantly their public debt since the Global Financial Crisis. The increasing trend and the high concentration of public debt in portfolios of financial institutions can lead to a financial turmoil we witnessed during the European Sovereign Debt Crisis. Financial stability authorities therefore look for models to measure the sovereign credit risk and develop“what-if”scenarios to assess a potential repercussion of a financial institution rescue or of an economic contraction on sovereign credit risk. The presented article introduces adjustments to the sovereign contingent claims analysis that is based on the Merton´s Credit Risk Model and the Black-Scholes option pricing techniques. The article proposes adjustments by introducing a new view on a stylised liability side of a central government balance sheet, seniority of its items, and a new proxy for risk measure of junior claims. We show reliable results using derived risk sensitivities for 20 EU countries with decent forward looking ability and propose potential stress-testing framework with an application for the Czech Republic.
Tropomyosin: A panallergen that causes a worldwide allergic problem
Authors: Papia Francesco , Bellia Chiara , Uasuf Carina Gabriela
Published: September 2021

Background:Panallergens are proteins that take part in key processes of organisms and, therefore, are ubiquitously distributed with highly conserved sequences and structures. One class of these panallergens is composed of the tropomyosins. The highly heat-stable tropomyosins comprise the major allergens in crustaceans and mollusks, which make them important food allergens in exposed populations. Tropomyosins are responsible for a widespread immunoglobulin E cross-reactivity among allergens from different sources. Allergic tropomyosins are expressed in many species, including parasites and insects.Methods:This panallergen class is divided, according to it capacity of induced allergic symptoms, into allergenic or nonallergenic tropomyosin. Although vertebrate tropomyosins share ∼55% of sequence homology with invertebrate tropomyosins, it has been thought that the invertebrate tropomyosins would not have allergic properties. Nevertheless, in recent years, this opinion has been changed. In particular, tropomyosin has been recognized as a major allergen in many insects.Results:A high grade of homology has been shown among tropomyosins from different species, such as crustaceans and insects, which supports the hypothesis of cross-reactivity among tropomyosins from divergent species. Moreover, the emerging habit of consuming edible insects has drawn the attention of allergists to invertebrate tropomyosin protein due to its potential allergenic risk. Nevertheless, evidence about tropomyosin involvement in clinical allergic response is still scarce and deserves more investigation.Conclusion:This review intended to report allergic reactions associated with different tropomyosins when considering house dust mites, parasites, seafood, and insects, and to summarize our current knowledge about its cross-reactivity because this could help physicians to accurately diagnose patients with food allergy.

Published: September 2021

Background: Legume and sesame are emerging food allergens. The utility of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) testing to predict clinical reactivity to these allergens is not well described. Objective: To describe clinical outcomes and sIgE in sesame and
legume oral food challenges (OFC). Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 74 legume and sesame OFCs between 2007 and 2017 at the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. Clinical data, OFC outcome, and sIgE to legume and sesame were collected.
Receiver operating characteristic curves and logistic regression models that predicted OFC outcome were generated. Results: Twenty-eight patients (median age, 6.15 years) passed legume OFC (84.9%), and 25 patients (median age, 5.91 years) passed sesame OFC (61.0%). The
median sIgE to legume was 1.41 kUA/L and, to sesame, was 2.34 kUA/L. In patients with failed legume OFC, 60.0% had cutaneous symptoms, 20.0% had gastrointestinal symptoms, and 20.0% had anaphylaxis. Of these reactions, 80.0% were controlled with antihistamine alone and 20.0% required epinephrine.
In patients for whom sesame OFC failed, 50.0% had cutaneous symptoms, 12.5% had gastrointestinal symptoms, and 37.50% had anaphylaxis. Of these reactions, 6.3% required epinephrine, 31.3% were controlled with diphenhydramine alone, and 63.50% required additional epinephrine or prednisone.
Conclusion: Most OFCs to legumes were passed and reactions to failed legume OFCs were more likely to be nonsevere. Sesame OFC that failed was almost twice as likely compared with legume OFC that failed, and reactions to sesame OFC that failed were often more severe. Sesame
sIgE did not correlate with OFC outcome.

Authors: Masenya Tlou Maggie
Published: September 2021

The advent of digital technologies has brought about new opportunities and challenges to the education system globally. The use of digital technologies by educators in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is a portal for innovative teaching and learning. While there is a gradual increase in the use of these innovative technologies by HEIs in South Africa, there is still a long way to transform the educational system fully. Effective use of digital technologies in teaching and learning needs a certain level of digital literacy. Digital literacy enhances teaching and learning by helping educators integrate and use digital technologies, while equipping students with skills to access the internet effectively. The impact of digital technology has beaconed the need of educators to acquire 21st-century skills. Digital literacy skills are critical in realising the potential and benefits of digital technologies. This paper investigates the importance of digital technologies in education and the impact of digital literacy skills on the effective use of these technologies in HEIs in South Africa. Data collection was primarily based on a critical review of literature relating to the application of mobile technologies in HEIs in South Africa. The results revealed various barriers inhibiting educators from adopting mobile technologies in teaching and learning, including lack of digital literacy skills, time constraints, unwillingness to change, lack of educator confidence, poor technological infrastructure, and lack of digital or mobile devices. The study provides recommendations to enable and inspire educators in HEIs to use mobile digital technologies effectively.

The study that directed this article investigated the information needs of parents of children with albinism (CWA) in the Khomas region, and determined information services that are appropriate for people with albinism (PWA) in the Khomas region of Namibia, in order to inform the possible design of their information services. Considering PWA as a marginalised user group living under precarious circumstances in Africa, and in the interest of an inclusive information service, a study on information needs was conducted on PWA in the Khomas Region, Namibia. It was conducted within the interpretivism paradigm, following a qualitative research approach, and interviews were conducted with six parents of CWA. In addition, two representatives from organisations that deal with the plight of PWA in Namibia were interviewed as organisational participants (OP). The following information needs were identified in the study: eye-and-skin-related information needs; information on what albinism is; the causes of albinism; information on how to register for the disability grant; and education-related information. The study also revealed that the information needs of parents of CWA differ at each level of the child’s growth. For example, parents stressed needing additional information because as children grow up new needs emerge. OP indicated that they use the following platforms to disseminate information to PWA: radio stations in local languages, community meetings, their websites, and the distribution of flyers in English.

Age, body mass index, and osteoporosis are more predictive than imaging for adjacent-segment reoperation after lumbar fusion
Authors: Ankrah Nii-Kwanchie , Eli Ilyas M. , Magge Subu N. , Whitmore Robert G. , Yew Andrew Y.
Published: September 2021

Background:

Adjacent-segment disease (ASD) is a well-described long-term complication after lumbar fusion. There is a lack of consensus about the risk factors for development of ASD, but identifying them could improve surgical outcomes. Our goal was to analyze the effect of patient characteristics and radiographic parameters on the development of symptomatic ASD requiring revision surgery after posterior lumbar fusion.

Methods:

In this retrospective cohort study, we identified patients who underwent lumbar fusion surgery and revision surgery from May 2012 to November 2018 using an institutional lumbar fusion registry. Patients having both pre- and post-operative upright radiographs were included in the study. Revision surgeries for which the index operation was performed at an outside hospital were excluded from analysis. Univariate analysis was conducted on candidate variables, and variables withP< 0.2 were selected for multivariate logistic regression.

Results:

Of the 106 patients identified, 21 required reoperation (29 months average follow-up). Age >65 years (OR 4.14, 95% CI 1.46–11.76,P= 0.008), body mass index (BMI) >34 (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.04–1.23,P= 0.004), and osteoporosis (OR 14, 95% CI 1.38–142.42,P= 0.03) were independent predictors of reoperation in the multivariate analysis. Increased facet diastasis at fusion levels (OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.42–0.85,P= 0.004) was associated with reduced reoperation rates. Change in segmental LL at the index operation level, rostral and caudal facet diastasis, vacuum discs, and T2 hyperintensity in the facets were not predictors of reoperation.

Conclusion:

Age >65, BMI >34, and osteoporosis were independent predictors of adjacent-segment reoperation after lumbar spinal fusion.

Published: September 2021

The article defines the essence of the concept of "debt security". The main indicators of Ukraine's debt security during 2015-2020 are analyzed and its condition is assessed using the integrated debt security index. The main factors that affect the level of debt security and key issues to ensure a sufficient level of debt security are investigated. It is found that the increase in the size of public debt leads to a reduction of the debt security and causes a number of negative consequences and distortions in the financial system of Ukraine. The main factors that affect the level of debt security and key issues to ensure a sufficient level of debt security are investigated. However, in the strategic perspective, deepening of the financial debt of the state leads to significant disparities in the financial and economic system of the country and increasing the debt burden on the state budget, increasing the threat of default, transferring the debt burden for future generations and increasing social tension in society. Ukraine's debt security is in critical condition and therefore requires the implementation of certain measures and changes. The main task is the effective management of state external and domestic debt and its gradual reduction. It is also necessary to focus more on domestic lending in national currency, as it is more profitable and cheaper to maintain for the state. In order to identify prerequisites for strengthening the debt security and searching the methods to reduce public debt, the development of an optimal strategy of borrowing, debt management and improving of a legal framework on issues of debt security has been suggested.

Authors: Krupka Ihor
Published: September 2021

The purpose of the article is to assess the level of domestic financial market dollarization, find out the causes of this economic phenomenon, trace its evolution and identify current features, substantiate proposals to minimize the negative consequences for the financial market and the economy in general. The methods of theoretical analysis, synthesis and generalization, analysis of statistical data and its graphical interpretation are used in the research. The results of the research showed that the main reasons for dollarization in Ukraine were high inflation and sharp fluctuations in the exchange rate of the national currency. In general, the dollarization of national financial markets occurs through the following channels: 1) borrowing on the international financial market; 2) the entrance of foreign banks to a domestic market; 3) investing abroad, when a national financial market is not sufficiently developed to create high-quality and highly liquid assets, dollarization provides rapid access to foreign financial assets and optimization of the profitability and risk structure of an investment portfolio; 4) the difference (spread) between interest rates in national and foreign currency. Based on the study of the domestic financial market, the following conclusions are made: 1) the level of Ukraine`s financial market dollarization in the aggregate and in terms of its separate segments is high; 2) this level poses a threat to the stable operation of financial intermediaries and the banking system in case of the national currency devaluation; 3) currency imbalance of assets and liabilities in the banking system has strongly decreased since 2008, but is still significant; 4) foreign currency is widely used by economic agents in the shadow sector of the economy. We consider the current dollarization level dangerous for the development of the country's financial system, and its reduction to a scientifically sound natural level should become one of the main tasks of the National Bank of Ukraine. Achieving the natural dollarization level and effective use of the domestic financial market potential will allow to intensify Ukraine's national economy development and promote integration into the international financial market and the global financial space.

The activity of the enterprise is negatively affected not only by environmental factors, but also by lack of proper management of financial stability of the enterprise. Currently, the main task of any enterprise is to ensure the optimal level of financial stability of the enterprise. The financial strength is always calculated during the analysis of financial stability of the enterprise, as it shows what allowable percentage the revenue can be reduced for the company to be unprofitable. The actual problem during the current economic crisis remains increasing the optimization of financial sustainability of the enterprise. Various factors influencing the financial stability of the enterprise are investigated, minimization and neutralization methods of these factors are offered. Ways to optimize the financial stability of the enterprise in a period of difficult financial and economic situation in the country are formed. The globalization of the economy has led to a close interdependence of external and internal factors influencing the enterprise. Given that external factors are uncontrollable and unpredictable, it is possible to achieve the required level of financial stability for the company by identifying the most important internal factors and minimizing or neutralizing them. It is necessary to manage financial stability taking into account the risks caused by scientific progress, the instability of the political situation, the growth of competition in commodity and financial markets. Now, companies must be flexible and ready to adapt to new working conditions that dictate the realities of today.

Due to modern economic development in Ukraine, reform in education is creating increasing competitiveness, which in turn puts forward new requirements for the development of professional competencies for various professions. The article highlights the current situation on the labor market, which allows to distinguish modern professional requirements. Therefore, at the present stage, one of the leading problems facing educational institutions is a system of career guidance with applicants, which will help create certain preconditions for motivation to succeed, which in turn will affect future employment. The concept of professional self-determination has been interpreted differently in recent decades. The parallel between human success and the compound need for self-realization is considered.

Published: September 2021

The article outlines the psychological features of the age period, which is determined by the scientific category as an “adolescent crisis”. The problem of the adolescent crisis has been revealed in people with intellectual disabilities. The importance and relevance of the study is revealed first, due to the difficulties of adolescence: its dynamism, ambiguity, lack of emotional stability of the individual; secondly, due to the specifics of personality formation with intellectual disabilities; thirdly, the need to further develop effective psychological support for adolescents with intellectual disabilities. The aim of the article was to study and experimentally test the specifics of the emotional crisis of adolescence in people with intellectual disabilities. The purpose was provided by solving the following tasks: stating the peculiarities of the adolescent crisis in people with intellectual disabilities; determining the state of formation of “I-concept” and “self-image” of adolescents with intellectual disabilities; establishing the specifics of behavioral reactions and interaction of the adolescent with others (peers, the elderly) in conditions of experiencing an age crisis. Moreover, the author conducted a psychological testing procedure to study the peculiarities of the formation of the personality of a teenager with intellectual disabilities during the age crisis (adolescent crisis). M. Kuhn’s psychological testing method “Who am I?”, T. Leary’s method of diagnostics of interpersonal relations were used; conversations, observations. The purpose of using these techniques was to determine the self-image, self-presentation, self-perception and self-esteem of adolescents with intellectual disabilities. According to the results of the study, it was found that adolescents with intellectual disabilities have a process of self-knowledge and understanding of their own “I”, internal mental acts and states are underdeveloped or absent. This complicates the process of experiencing an adolescent’s crisis. As evidenced by the low level of recognition and differentiation of emotions, emotional awareness, management of their own emotions. Also critical are difficulties with the adequate expression of emotions in accordance with the situation that determines them, in particular with the manifestation and control of anger, rage, aggression and other. The further directions of research of formation of the person with infringements of intellectual development in adolescent age are outlined.

Das Design eines Produktes gibt immer Hinweise auf seine Funktionalität, was es kann oder nicht kann, was es aushält oder nicht aushält. Die menschliche Wahrnehmung solcher Eigenschaften und Qualitäten kann daher wesentlich dafür sein, wie das Produkt gehandhabt und benutzt wird. Qualität wird durch formale Eigenschaften, Form und Detailgestaltung wahrgenommen. Diese muss mit der tatsächlichen Robustheit eines Produktes übereinstimmen, um den beabsichtigten Gebrauch und Einsatz des Produktes zu provozieren. Ein Missverhältnis zwischen erlebter und tatsächlicher Qualität eines Produkts kann zu Ausfällen, hohen Wartungskosten, geringerer Benutzerzufriedenheit oder geringerem Markenwert führen. In der (interdisziplinären) kollaborativen Produktentwicklung basieren die Anforderungen und die Produktbewertung meist auf quantitativen Maßen. Während die Definition und Bewertung der tatsächlichen Qualität und Robustheit in der Produktentwicklung gut etabliert ist, fehlt noch eine standardisierte Methode zur Definition und Bewertung der erlebten Qualität eines Produkts. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Ansatz vorgestellt, durch den die Übereinstimmung zwischen tatsächlicher und erlebter Qualität durch eine objektive Skala festgelegt bzw. kontrolliert werden kann. Dazu wurde eine semantisch-differentielle Skala entwickelt, die relevante Aspekte der haptischen, visuellen und akustischen Eigenschaften von Produkten erfasst. Es kann sowohl in der Anforderungsdefinition, als auch in den Evaluationsphasen und der Produktentwicklung des Designprozesses eingesetzt werden. Dadurch kann kontrolliert werden, ob die Designziele erreicht wurden oder nicht.

Biotinidase deficiency: a treatable genetic disorder in the Saudi population
Authors: Joshi S. , Al Essa M. A. , Archibald A. , Ozand P. T.
Published: September 2021

Biotinidase deficiency is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder which is not uncommon in the Saudi population. Biotinidase is responsible for biotin recycling and biotin is an essential cofactor for activation of the carboxylase enzymes. Absence of biotinidase leads to infantile or early childhood encephalopathy, seizure disorder, dermatitis, alopecia, neural deafness and optic atrophy. The disease can be diagnosed by simple fluorometric enzyme assay. Treatment with biotin is both cheap and simple, resulting in rewarding clinical recovery and normalization of the biochemical, neuroradiological and neurophysiological parameters. If neglected, however, a patient may die of acute metabolic acidosis or may suffer from permanent neural deafness and optic atrophy, with mental and motor handicap. We describe the detection and treatment of 20 cases of biotinidase deficiency in our hospital and recommend the introduction of a neonatal screening programme for this disorder
The Measurement of Knowledge Construction in A Course of Diagnostic Evaluation of Learning Disorders in Psychology Students

This study evaluated the effects of academic learning on the organization and structure of a knowledge schema among psychology students. The authors designed three studies based on the Chronometric Constructive Cognitive Learning Evaluation Model. This article describes the first method of evaluation, which included a conceptual definition task based on the Natural Semantic Networks technique. The participants' task was to define ten target concepts using verbs, nouns, or adjectives as definers, and then rate the quality of each definer, taking into account the degree of semantic relationship between it and the target concept. The results suggest that the students' initial knowledge schema underwent modifications due to the restructuration of the cognitive structure of knowledge, the assimilation of new information nodes, and the elimination or establishment of new relationships between the conceptual nodes of the knowledge schema. The measurement of these cognitive expressions of academic learning through mental representation techniques can have relevant implications for cognitive characterization in student learning and the design of new teaching strategies that take account of the cognitive psychology principles of information processing underlying academic learning.
The Effect of Resource-Based Instructions on Pre-service Biology Teachers’ Attitudes towards Learning Biology

A positive attitude correlates to successful learning; while a negative attitude leads to poor learning. The present study aimed to compare the pre-service biology teachers’ attitudes towards learning biology and assessing their attitudinal change before and after being taught by resource-based instructions (RBI) in Rwanda. A survey-research design was used, in combination with a quasi-experimental control group, and the equivalent time-series designs. Pre-service biology teachers were taught at a public university in three separate groups, with one control group and two experimental groups. Each group received a pre-attitude and a post-attitude assessment. In contrast, at a private university, they were taught as a single group, in a series of instructions, starting with the lecture method, followed by animation-based instruction and small- group laboratory activities, in which at each stage, the pre-service biology teachers received the same assessment. The biology Attitudinal Scale showed a Cronbach alpha reliability of 0.625 before its use. The data were analyzed quantitatively; and the results revealed no statistically significant difference between the public and the private pre-service teachers’ attitudes before learning microbiology. After the teaching interventions, the results revealed that both the traditional and the resource-based instructions improved the pre-service biology teachers’ attitudes towards learning biology, as a result of their improved maturity and their anticipated future teaching career.

Pengolahan data rekam medis pada saat ini tidak hanya dilakukan secara manual namun perkembangan teknologi saat ini juga mendukung kegiatan pengolahan data dilakukan menggunakan sistem berbasis komputerisasi. Pengolahan data secara manual, mempunyai banyak kelemahan, selain membutuhkan waktu yang lama, keakuratanya juga kurang dapat diterima, karena kemungkinan kesalahan sangat besar. Rekam medis memuat keterangan meliputi identitas pribadi, sosial, dan semua keterangan lain menyangkut pasien tersebut. Pengolahan data indeksing rekam medis di rumah sakit telah terintegrasi di SIMRS tetapi data indeks masih belum dapat di olah secara maksimal menjadi sebuah laporan, karena datanya masih belum terpisah antara data pasien rawat inap, rawat jalan, dan rawat darurat proses pengolahan indeks penyakit pasien rawat inap masih dilakukan secara semi-computerize. Hasil penelitian ini menyempurnakan aplikasi yang sudah ada menjadi sistem infromasi yang dapat mengolah data indeks penyakit pasien rawat inap dan menghasilkan laporan indeks penyakit dengan akurat.
