Diagnostic significance of the synthesis of phenolic compounds and proline in the leaves of Schisandra chinensis and Actinidia arguta for the indication of the stress levels of plants under conditions of mixed plantings
Authors: Venediktova Tetyana , Zaimenko Natalia , Skrypchenko Nadiia
Published: January 2022

The peculiarities of the accumulation of polyphenolic compounds and free proline were investigated in the leaves of Actinidia arguta and Shisandra chinensis during their cultivation in vegetation containers with different ratios of the number of plants, namely 1 : 1, 2 : 1, 1 : 2. Monocultural (single-species) planting was used as a control. The content of free proline in plant leaves was carried out according to the method, which is based on the interaction of proline with a ninhydrin reagent, forming a pink-red color. The amount of polyphenolic compounds was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method. It was found that the ratio of plants grown together significantly affects the accumulation of primary and secondary metabolites in their leaves. Under conditions of mixed planting, more proline and phenolic substances are accumulated in plant leaves compared to monoculture. The maximum proline content, 19.44 ± 0.91 mg/g of dry weight (DW), was observed in the leaves of A. arguta in the experiment combination with a prevailing number of schisandra plants at a ratio of S. chinensis and A. arguta plants of 2:1. In the same combination, the leaves of actinidia contained the highest amount of phenolic compounds (36.87 ± 2.22 mg/g DW). The studied root exudates of the experimental plants had an allelopathic inhibitory effect on the test culture. The exudates caused 12.0 % average decrease in root growth of A. arguta test objects, and 30.0 % average decrease in root growth of S. chinensis test objects compared with the control. This allows us to conclude about the high activity of schisandra’s allelochemicals, which negatively affect the development of actinidia plants. The optimal ratio of plants A. arguta and S. chinensis when grown together is 2 : 1, since a higher concentration of schisandra plants in a container more stress in actinidia plants, expressed as an increased accumulation of phenols and prolines in its leaves. The result of a comparative analysis of the amount of proline and phenolic compounds can be used to assess the mutual influence of plants in mixed plantings to optimize their growing conditions, which confirms the diagnostic significance of these metabolites for indicating the stress state of the studied plants.

Published: January 2022

In this study, Syngramma quinata was newly recorded for Brunei Darussalam. The species is distributed from Peninsular Malaysia to Fiji but absent in Java and southwestern Indonesia. The record confirms the species’ preference for forest and its distribution close to streams and in shady habitats. While its distribution is frequent in the eastern part of the region (Papua and Solomon Islands), the species is rare in Borneo, Sumatra and Sulawesi. Therefore, this new record fills a gap in the distribution and ecology of this species.

EFFECTS OF LEARNING OUTCOMES ON TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT IN SOCIAL STUDIES IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS: ANALYSIS OF SELECTED OBE COMPLIANT COURSE OUTLINES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BOTSWANA
Authors: Koketso Jeremiah
Published: January 2022

This study was conducted to find out if the selected courses at the University of Botswana that have been prepared to meet the compliance standards of the Botswana Qualifications Authority (BQA) have any effects on teaching, learning and assessment processes with respect to the use of lesson outcomes. The study was guided by three research questions and these were: (1) What is the difference between lesson (or learning) outcomes and lesson objectives? (2) How are learning outcomes used in writing question items for tests and examinations? (3) How do learning outcomes improve teaching and learning or academic achievement and assessment in comparison with the use of learning objectives? These research questions were converted into three research objectives and these were: (1) To find out the difference between lesson (learning) outcomes and lesson objectives. (2) To find out how lesson (learning) outcomes are used to write question items for tests and examinations. (3) To find out how lesson outcomes improve teaching, learning or academic achievement and assessment in comparison with the use of lesson objectives. The courses that were analyzed to find answers to research questions and research objectives that guide this study were purposively sampled and they were five (5) of them. The study found that there was no clear difference between lesson outcomes and lesson objectives. It found that lesson outcomes were not used to write test or examinations questions unless they had been written as lesson objectives. The study also found that in comparison to lesson objectives, lesson outcomes did not improve teaching, learning (or students’ academic achievement) and assessment. The study recommended that lesson outcomes be phased out and be replaced with lesson objectives as the latter (lesson objectives) were effective in ensuring that there is proper (or effective) teaching, learning and assessment instead of causing confusion to students, teachers and other stakeholders as learning outcomes do.

RELEVANCE OF THE NEW GENERAL SERVICE LIST IN SELECTING READING PASSAGES FOR ESL STUDENTS
Authors: Aziz Anealka , Roslim Norwati
Published: January 2022

The original General Service List, published in 1953, was a list of words deemed important for the second language learners of English. The list became the main reference by many studies involving the coverage of words that the second language learners needed to know to understand a certain amount of the text. Since it was developed over 60 years ago, a couple of attempts to update the list was initiated. One of the significant attempts resulted in the development of the New General Service List (NGSL) in 2013. The NGSL consists of high-frequency words that the second language learners need to know to understand approximately 92% of most general English language texts. These are the basic words, but where these words stand in the English Vocabulary Profile (EVP) of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) have yet to be confirmed. The study intended to determine the CEFR level of the words listed in the NGSL and determine the relationship between the NGSL and the CEFR levels. A descriptive research design and purposive sampling method were adopted. The findings show that most words in the NGSL are listed in the EVP, and there is an inverse relationship between the coverage of the NGSL and the CEFR levels, thus confirming the NGSL can be used as a comparative measure on how much an L2 learner would understand a certain reading text. Future investigations to include analysis of learners’ comprehension and more sample passages are recommended.

Authors: Manesis Nikolaos , Nikolakaki Anna , Georganta Marilena , Vlachou Elisavet
Published: January 2022

Lev Vygotsky's theory states that individuals' development is a result of socializing. Individuals are influenced by other individuals in the social environment. In this way, individuals’ internal cognitive functions are formed. At the same time, they create a social status and gradually build their personal appreciation for the world and the social reality around them. In this learning process, the active participation of a student himself/herself is necessary, while teachers’ role is also important. Teachers contribute to knowledge's acquisition of knowledge by students. They encourage their students, while knowing the students’ needs and abilities, and using the declining support method within a group of peers. In this study, action research was used as a form of self-reflective inquiry, known for its distinguished and liberating character. Teachers who participated studied and tried to understand their social or educational practices, to improve them. On the other hand, the critical friend and teachers’ facilitator contributed to this process of intertwining research with action and theory with practice. This study used action research and Vygotsky’s theory on the organization and function of a school film club. Using active learning strategies, elementary school students of the 5th & 6th grades, discussed, shared emotions and creatively wrote. Τhey developed their social, cultural and linguistic abilities.

HEDGED ASSERTIONS IN MOMADAY’S THE MAN MADE OF WORDS
Authors: Bartelt Guillermo
Published: January 2022

In essays elucidating his beliefs in the sacredness of the Southwestern landscape, the relevance of American Indian oral tradition, and the power of language in shaping Native worldviews, Scott Momaday frequently qualifies declarative sentences focusing on these themes with evidential hedges formed with epistemic modals and adverbials as well as with attitudinal hedges consisting of pronoun-verb constructions. Since an assertion implies knowledge of the proposition, hedges are therefore indicative of a distancing from convictions of its truth, or at least of a weakened commitment to its assertoric force.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND SERVICE QUALITY IN DEPARTMENT OF MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS AND TRANSPORT OF UAE
Authors: Albuainain Marwa Naji Ali Alkhater , Khatibi Ali , Azam S. M. Ferdous , Tham Jacquline
Published: January 2022

Since 1980, Total Quality Management (TQM) has emerged as a management strategy for providing customers with services that match their needs. In the UAE, the department of municipal affairs and transport will introduce quality measuring tools. TQM establishes quality as the guiding force behind leadership, planning, and design, necessitating the assistance of the eight essential aspects. Thus, TQM would include leaders and managers who have earned quality excellence awards, shown superior performance, delivered superior service, and earned public confidence. In public administration, quality improvement and assessment have resulted in the development and implementation of strategic models. Total quality management originated in the manufacturing industry. TQM and excellence awards are critical in the UAE economy due to the demand for high-quality public services. This is unsurprising, given that service organisations continue to face harsh realities equal to those faced by industrial organisations. This is the fundamental rationale for using service quality models. The phases of service quality management may help improve the efficiency and satisfaction of service delivery while also building a strategic framework for technology integration and innovation. The Department of Municipal Affairs and Transportation is obligated to provide value-added services to its customers and must demonstrate a strong commitment to quality service in order to achieve economic success.

PERCEIVED FACTORS KEEPING STUDENTS IN OR AWAY FROM DOING SPORTS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES IN TAIWAN REGION
Authors: Ngangbam Shantikumar Meetei , Jung-Sheng Chen
Published: January 2022

In the last six or so decades, researchers have investigated, proved and shown the benefits of sports and physical activities on students’ physical and mental health, academic performance and overall personal development. However, many researchers found that more and more students were staying away from sports and physical activities. Today, more than 80% of adolescent and 40-50% of college students globally did not meet the current physical activity per day recommended by the World Health Organization, thus keeping them unhealthy and unfit. This led researchers around the world to investigate the perceived facilitators and barriers that keep students away from these healthy activities. But, so far Taiwan region is concerned, no internationally published study has been done on this topic. To fill up the gap, the present quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study investigated what perceived benefits and barriers keep in or away Taiwanese students from doing sports and physical activities. 9 self-designed multiple-choice paper survey questionnaires were administered among 199 students of different age groups, studying at different class levels at three educational institutes in New Taipei City, Taiwan during the six months, April to October, 2021. The collected data was then analyzed using Microsoft Excel Pivot table. Results: 82% of students knew doing physical activities could keep them physically and mentally healthy, but only 28% did enough exercise. Main responsible factors were: too much school works, part-time jobs, not enough social encouragements, lack of interest, no self-confidence in sports, and lack of knowledge respectively.

 

最近六年或者說幾十年來，研究人員經由調查，求證，展示出運動競技和體能活動對於學生們的身心健康、學業成績和全人發展的助益。但是，許多研究人員也發現，有愈來愈多的學生選擇了疏遠運動競賽和體能活動。今日全球有超過 80% 的青少年和 40-50% 的大學生並沒有達到世界衛生組織當前每日體育的訓練量，導致他們不健康和不良的體態。世界各地的研究人員想要利用調研，找出學生保持或遠離運動與體能活動所感知的有利的與障礙因素。但是，有關於台灣地區，目前國際上還沒有發表過相關研究。為了填補這一空白，目前的定量、描述性橫斷面研究調查了台灣學生進行運動競技和體能活動所感知的好處和障礙因素。 2021 年 4 月至 10 月的六個月期間，筆者在新北市三所教育機構的不同班級學習的 199 名不同年齡組學生中進行了自行設計的9題複選的問卷調查。然後對收集的數據進行了分析使用 Microsoft Excel 數據透視表。結果 有 82% 的學生知道從事體能鍛煉可以保持身心健康，卻只有 28% 學生的訓練是足夠的，其主要因素分別為：學校作業過多、兼職工作過多、社會鼓勵不足、缺乏興趣、對運動缺乏自信、知識匱乏。

COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING PRACTICES: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY ON THE PERSPECTIVES OF FIRST-TIME MOTHERS IN THE EFFUTU MUNICIPALITY OF GHANA
Authors: Oti Janet Agyarkwaa , Amu Theresa Alexandra
Published: January 2022

An important step in reducing infants’ risk of being malnourished, contracting infectious diseases and their accompanying mortalities is to gain an understanding of the experiences of mothers’ complementary feeding practices. While research exists on complementary feeding practices, limited research is documented on complementary feeding experiences of first-time mothers in Ghana with no evidence from the Effutu Municipality. In view of this lacuna in literature, this study investigated the lived experiences of first-time mothers on the initiation of complementary feeding in the Effutu Municipality using Social Constructivism as a theoretical foundation. The phenomenological research design within the interpretivism paradigm was followed in the conduct of the study where 12 first-time mothers were sampled through purposive and convenience sampling techniques with the main instrument being a semi-structured interview guide. After meeting the trustworthiness criteria, thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study revealed that first-time mothers initiated complementary feeding before the recommended period of six months. Besides, foods used in initiating complementary feeding were mostly cereal-based which is known to be deficient in other vital nutrients such as iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin B6 required and recommended for the healthy development of the child. The findings on experiences of first-time mothers towards complementary feeding indicated that they were inadequately prepared to initiate complementary feeding. Based on these results, it was recommended that the municipal health directorate should organize health promotion programmes to assist first-time mothers to better understand complementary feeding with its accompanying positive consequences of improving child growth and development.

ON THE DEFENSIBILITY OF RUSSELL'S THEORY OF NAMES / RUSSELL'IN İSİMLER TEORİSİNİN SAVUNULABİLİRLİĞİ ÜZERİNE
Authors: Yıkmış Göksel
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine whether Bertrand Russell's logical arguments for language, called the theory of names, are defensible. Firstly, Russell's justification for logic and his claims about logic are discussed and examined. At the same time, this study examined how the philosophers who were against Russell criticized him and his theory of names that he generated in the light of his "On Denoting". Secondly, the symbolic logic examples in Russell's theory were also presented and Russell's arguments were examined in the light of these examples. Thus, benefiting from all these aspects, it is discussed whether Russell's theory of names is defensible in this study.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Bertrand Russell'ın isimler kuramı olarak adlandırılan dile ilişkin mantıksal argümanlarının savunulabilir olup olmadığını incelemektir. Bu bağlamda ilk olarak Russell'ın mantığın gerekçesi ve onun mantıkla ilgili iddiaları ele alınıp incelenmiştir. Bununla birlikte bu çalışma, Russell'a karşı çıkan filozofların onu ve onun “İfade Üzerine” adlı eserinde ele aldığı isimler kuramını nasıl eleştirdiğine de değinmiştir. İkinci olarak ise, Russell’ın teorisinde yer alan sembolik mantık örnekleri de ortaya konularak Russell'ın argümanları bu örnekler ışığında incelenmiştir. Böylece, tüm bu yönlerden yararlanılarak, bu çalışmada Russell'ın isimler kuramının savunulabilir olup olmadığı tartışılarak ortaya konmuştur.

From the Building to the Building Stock: Investigation of the Transformations of the Building Stock of the City of Athens for its Conversion into a Carbon Neutral City
Authors: Alexandri Eleftheria
Published: January 2022

Background: This paper examines the hierarchy of technologies for a sustainable mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from the building sector in the City of Athens. The greenhouse gas inventory of the building stock of the city and its energy consumption is investigated, pinpointing to effective energy saving scenarios, in which available in the market technologies are examined for their efficiency, cost-effectiveness and sustainability.

Methods: Criteria for selecting these technologies have derived from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. By using the Multi Attribute Utility Theory, these technologies are prioritised, taking into account the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, energy savings, the payback period of the embodied energy of the technologies used for the energy upgrade of buildings, their impact on the heat island effect, the initial cost of the investment and its payback period. Through the dynamic hypothesis on greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation, cost-benefit analysis highlights the actions that can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions with existing low-cost technologies, so that they are easily multipliable and practically applicable on the city’s building stock.

Results: A feasible timetable for the measures for the energy upgrade of the building stock of the city of Athens, so that actions that offer considerable greenhouse gas emissions reductions at low costs are applied first, with short payback period and small initial investment. Actions focusing on HVAC systems have been found to meet these conditions.

Conclusions: This research pinpoints to primary directions for financing strategies that can lead to the energy upgrade of the building stock, in order to meet the target for carbon neutrality of the city by 2050.

“A world which doesn’t exist – even though it does.”The urban space and past of Vyborg in Finnish and Russian interpretations

The article analyses the interpretations of the past given to the town space of Vyborg. Utilising survey and interview material collected from Finnish and Russian target groups, it examines which places in the city become the main objects of description and what meanings are attached to these. The article looks at the urban space in Vyborg via an assessment of public-level meanings on the one hand and private-level meanings on the other, and the space is strongly understood as a social product for which the users of the space actively create meanings. In both Finnish and Russian interpretations of the history of Vyborg’s urban space, the city appears as a kind of imaginary space, and, especially in the speech of Finns, is romanticised by the tradition of remem- brance. The Russians have built new memory environments in Vyborg to create national memory sites in the city space. For both Finns and Russians, history is an important part of Vyborg’s urban space, but its contents and starting points are related to different layers of recognition.

Knowledge-archaeological reflections on the buried memories of Vyborg in 1918

The subject of the article is the ‘memory war’ over the memory of the Civil War of 1918 in Vyborg, and the displaced Karelians’ experience in the time of diaspora. Until the wars of 1939–1945 the culture of remembrance of the Civil War was divided in Vyborg and in Finland and many truths of the war were maintained in the Red’s and White’s own groups. The article details how the dichotomous history culture of Civil War memories has slowly transformed into a diversified and critical analysis over the past one hundred years. The qualita- tive material used in the article consists of memory data written by displaced Karelians held in Finnish archives. The article is a knowledge-archaeological analysis of memories, memorial culture, and sedimentary layers from different times in history.
