Exploring Students’ Levels of Oral Presentation Apprehension in ESL Context
Authors: Ibrahim Qistina
Published: November 2024

The study was aimed to investigate ESL students’ levels of oral presentation apprehension. All postgraduate students from Faculty of Education of a public university in Malaysia participated in this study. It is a qualitative study, and data needed for the study were extracted from McCroskey’s Personal Report of Public Speaking Anxiety (PRPSA). The participants answered 34 Likert-scale items, and the data were analysed by using PRPSA scores formula. Participants who scored more than 131 were considered to have a high level of oral presentation apprehension, and those who scored below than 98 were considered to have a low level of oral presentation apprehension. Besides, the moderate level of oral presentation apprehension was determined by the number of scores ranged from 98 to 131. Descriptive analysis was also performed by using SPSS. The findings reveal that overall, the participants have a low level of oral presentation apprehension. 66.7% of the participants had a low level of oral presentation apprehension, 29.2% had a moderate level of oral presentation apprehension, and only 4.2% had a high level of oral presentation apprehension. Furthermore, it was reported that the external and internal effects of oral presentation apprehension experienced were rated negatively by the participants. However, the scores for the internal effects were higher compared to the external effects. This is believed due to the participants’ high exposure to the oral presentation activity and pedagogical trainings as well as their language proficiency.
Gamification of Classroom Activities: Undergraduates’ Perception

Published: November 2024

Vocabulary exercises are given to help students learn words and to use them correctly. Unfortunately, many students do not realise the benefits of completing these exercises and therefore do not spend time on them. This results in them not having a wide repertoire of words to use in their essays. The main objective of this study was to discover what students thought of gamification and the main problems they faced with it. The study consists of two phases and this article is based on the second phase which was of the qualitative design. The researchers had gamified the activities and exercises given to 39 undergraduate students over a period of 10 weeks. Two game elements were used: leaderboard and rewards. At the end of the intervention, data was collected via a semi structured interview and analysed thematically. The findings showed that many of the students had positive feedback about gamification. Of the two game elements, many students preferred being rewarded. However, only certain rewards motivated them to spend more time on the tasks. The students also realised that the activities had helped them to learn the target vocabulary taught. There were a few reasons why some students found the process of gamification challenging like too many assignments from other modules. This study is significant for instructors who are looking for ways to engage and motivate students and instructors are also made aware of some pitfalls to avoid in the application of gamification in class.

Published: November 2024

Arabic education in Malaysian schools has taken a systematic turn to keep up with the need to comprehend the fundamental sources of Islam: the Quran, prophetic sayings, and other Islamic Sciences. Today, the Jawi, Quran, Arabic, and Fardhu Ain (JQAF) Program has substantially contributed to Malaysia's consolidation of Arabic education. From being an optional subject, it was later declared a mandatory subject for all Malaysian students in national primary schools to secondary school. The proposed virtual classroom is aimed at addressing the challenges faced by teachers in teaching the Arabic language as there is no one standardized platform for sharing teaching and learning Arabic materials. As the first step in this study Year Six students from Sekolah Kebangsaan Dato' Yahya Subban, Perak have been selected to participate. The preliminary study highlights the need for a standardized approach to sharing teaching materials, the impact of e-learning, and the dispersed nature of digital teaching materials. The study proposed the use of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) theory and the Adapted System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method which consists of six phases which are Planning, Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Reporting. Data requirements involved interviews with eleven teachers and a survey of nineteen students. The virtual classroom was then evaluated through a collaborative effort involving two IT experts, an Arabic specialist, and thirty students. The evaluation results showed that the virtual classroom developed meets the requirements and provides a positive learning experience for students. Overall, the study highlights the importance of using established theories and models in developing educational technology and the positive impact it can have on student learning.

Published: November 2024

Effective and inclusive Knowledge Sharing is an integral part of successful and practical university learning. This study examines the factors impacting Knowledge sharing among students as there is a lack of studies conducted among students in the context of middle east countries. A survey was carried out among undergraduate students at Cihan University-Erbil, Iraq and questionnaires consisted of two main sections were used to collect the data. Demographic information was collected in the first section, and the second section contained six factors: File-sharing, Perceived Enjoyment, Perceived Reciprocal Benefit, Information and Communication Technology, Technology Availability, and Knowledge Sharing. Out of 150 questionnaires distributed, 114 were valid for analysis representing a 76% response rate and the data were analysed using Smart-PLS 3.2.9. The results indicated that Files-sharing, Perceived Enjoyment, Perceived Reciprocal Benefit, and Information and Communication Technology positively impacted Knowledge Sharing among students. However, Technology Availability did not affect Knowledge Sharing among students. The results implied that universities should encourage Knowledge Sharing between students by designing course activities and assessment that incorporate Files-sharing and Information and Communication Technology by fostering enjoyment and creating awareness of Knowledge Sharing’s reciprocal benefits.

Published: November 2024

The fashion industry is one of the main contributors to the world’s largest pollution. It is due to the tons of water usage producing excess carbon dioxide gas, excessive use of energy to produce clothing, and non-renewable sources for fibre, fibre, and environmental pollution with harmful chemicals. This study aims to explore the benefits of using sustainable fashion design materials and manufacturing practices. In-depth interviews were conducted with six experts in the fashion industry. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed four themes of sustainable fashion benefits, i.e., reduce environmental pollution, increase consumer convenience, reduce costs, and increase societal development. Sustainability is an important aspect of fashion design, whether in producing fibre or the production of fashion design itself. Therefore, the fashion industry must be responsible to the community and the environment by ensuring less negative environmental impact of garment production involving raw materials, processing, and production. Furthermore, early education intervention is essential to shape one’s behaviour and promote critical thinking towards a more sustainable future for all groups in achieving sustainable development goals.

RADIAL AND AMONGCLONAL VARIATIONS OF TRANSVERSE SHRINKAGE AND BASIC DENSITY IN 5-YEAR-OLDACACIA AURICULIFORMIS CLONES PLANTED IN VIETNAM
Authors: VAN DUONG DOAN , HASEGAWA MASUMI , TUONG VU MANH , hUNG HOANG VAN
Published: November 2024

This study investigated transverse shrinkages and wood density for Acacia auriculiformis trees from six clones planted in north-central Vietnam. Radial and among-clonal variations of partial and total shrinkages in tangential (respective to Tn and T) and radial (respective to Rn and R) directions, partial and total coefficient of anisotropy (respective to Tn/Rn and T/R), and basic density (BD) were examined. There were significant differences among clones for Rn and R, but no significant differences were found among clones for Tn and T. The lowest average Rn and R were detected in clones Clt18 and Clt26, suggesting that these clones might be more appropriate for breeding programs focused on improving shrinkage traits for sawn timber production. BD is not a good indicator for predicting transverse shrinkages. In contrasts, stress wave velocity measured in standing trees has the potential to be used as a non-destructive method for predicting the transverse shrinkage of A. auriculiformis planted in Vietnam.

Published: November 2024

Background: Inhibitory effects of denosumab on bone remodeling are reversible and disappear once treatment is discontinued. Herein, we examined whether and to what extent delayed denosumab administration is also associated with fracture risk using nation-wide data.Methods: The study cohort included women aged 45 to 89 years who were started on denosumab for osteoporosis between October 2017 and December 2019 using data from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment service. Participants were stratified according to the time of their subsequent denosumab administration from the last denosumab administration, including those with within 30 days early dosing (ED30), within the planned time of 180–210 days (referent), within 30–90 days of delayed dosing (DD90), within 90–180 days of delayed dosing (DD180), and longer than 181 days of delayed dosing (DD181+). The primary outcome was the incidence of all clinical fractures.Results: A total of 149,199 participants included and 2,323 all clinical fractures (including 1,223 vertebral fractures) occurred. The incidence of all fractures was significantly higher in the DD90 compared to reference group (hazard ratio [HR], 1.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1 to 1.4). The risk of all fracture was even higher in the longer delayed DD180 group (HR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.6 to 2.3) and DD181+ group (HR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.5 to 2.2). Increased risks of fractures with delayed dosing were consistently observed for vertebral fractures.Conclusion: Delayed denosumab dosing, even by 1 to 3 months, was significantly associated with increased fracture risk. Maintaining the correct dosing schedule should be emphasized when starting denosumab.

Published: November 2024

Background: Intellectual disability (ID) may be associated with an increased risk of diabetes mellitus (DM). However, evidence from longitudinal studies is scarce, particularly in Asian populations.Methods: This retrospective cohort study used representative linked data from the Korea National Disability Registration System and the National Health Insurance Service database. Adults (≥20 years) who received a national health examination in 2009 (3,385 individuals with ID and 3,463,604 individuals without ID) were included and followed until 2020. ID was identified using legal registration information. Incident DM was defined by prescription records with relevant diagnostic codes. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for DM risks in individuals with ID compared to those without ID.Results: Over a mean follow-up of 9.8 years, incident DM occurred in 302 (8.9%) individuals with ID and 299,156 (8.4%) individuals without ID. Having ID was associated with increased DM risk (aHR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.23 to 1.55). Sensitivity analysis confirmed a higher DM risk in individuals with ID (aHR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.24 to 1.56) than those with other disabilities (aHR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.10 to 1.13) or no disability (reference). Stratified analysis showed higher DM risk in non-hypertensive subjects (aHR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.43 to 1.86) compared to hypertensive subjects (aHR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.80 to 1.26; P for interaction <0.001).Conclusion: Adults with ID have an increased risk of developing DM, highlighting the need for targeted public health strategies to promote DM prevention in this population.

Authors: Kipchirchir Benard Rev. Kigen, , Kumar Tiwari Vijay
Published: November 2024

Globally, countries are experiencing significant shifts in population age structures due to increased life expectancy and lower fertility rates. In the last five decades, the elderly population has risen from 31 million to 106 million and from 0.6 million to 2.3 million in Kenya and India respectively. Both countries are facing an epidemiological transition, with non-communicable diseases (NCD) posing major health concern for the elderly. Despite prioritizing the control of communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are placing a significant strain on the limited health and social security resources in both nations. This study utilized published data to compare NCDs among the elderly populations in Kenya and India. The findings from the trend analysis showed that in India NCDs accounted for 60% of elderly health issues, followed by disabilities (30%) and mental health (10%). In Kenya, NCDs accounted for 65% of elderly issues, disabilities 23% and mental health 12%. Cardiovascular diseases and hypertension were the leading NCDs in both countries. The elderly spent 47% and 45% of their resources on NCD treatment in Kenya and India respectively. Common risk factors, including tobacco and alcohol use, physical inactivity, and unhealthy diets, were widespread. Men were found to be more vulnerable to NCDs than women and the prevalence of multimorbidity increased with age. Access to insurance and social security differed, with India having more government-sponsored insurance than Kenya. The study concluded that urgent healthcare interventions were needed in both countries to address NCDs among the elderly at policy and program levels, ensuring integrated care for this vulnerable population.

Analysis on the Prevalence of Post-Partum Depression among the Women in Harare Zimbabwe
Authors: Gumbo Rudorwashe , Owino Ouko Vinsam
Published: November 2024

Introduction Postpartum depression (PPD) is a significant public health concern affecting women worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. In Zimbabwe, the socioeconomic conditions of women in urban areas such as Harare had exacerbated the risk of PPD. This study examined the prevalence of PPD among women in Harare, exploring how socioeconomic factors such as income level, education, and marital status influence mental health outcomes during the postpartum period. The study aimed to provide insights that could inform targeted interventions for improving maternal mental health.  Methods A cross-sectional study design was employed, with data collected from 385 postpartum women attending healthcare facilities in Harare. Participants were selected through stratified random sampling to ensure a representative sample across different socioeconomic backgrounds. The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was used to assess depression levels at multiple postpartum stages: prenatal, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months postpartum. Socioeconomic variables, including income level, education, marital status, and access to healthcare, were also collected. Statistical analyses, including chi-square tests and ANOVA, were conducted to determine the relationships between these variables and PPD prevalence.  Findings The findings indicated a significant relationship between socioeconomic factors and the prevalence of PPD. Women with lower income levels reported higher depression scores across all postpartum stages, with a mean CES-D score of 15.2 during the prenatal period, compared to 11.5 for higher-income women. Marital status and educational level were also found to be significant predictors of PPD, with single and less-educated women showing higher rates of depression. The data suggested that financial instability, lack of social support, and limited access to mental health services contribute to elevated PPD risks.  Conclusion This study analyzed the critical impact of socioeconomic factors on postpartum depression among women in Harare. The results highlighted the need for targeted interventions that address financial and social support for low-income mothers, along with improving access to mental health services. Implementing such measures could significantly reduce the burden of PPD and improve overall maternal and child health outcomes in Zimbabwe.

Precise control over frequency, voltage, and power flow is required to ensure power quality in multi-zone electrical networks. Load frequency control (LFC), which adjusts active power according to load fluctuations, is necessary for system stability. Based on recent studies, combining optimization techniques with advanced control schemes may greatly improve LFC performance. In this work, the control parameters of TID, PIDN, and TID-FOPIDN are tuned using the Lemur optimizer. These concepts are investigated in the context of a two-zone power system comprising hydroelectric and thermal power plants. The findings illustrate how the Lemur-optimized TID-FOPIDN cascade surpasses TID and PIDN controllers in terms of frequency stability and precision, rendering it a viable option for enhancing electrical networks.

Mean-variance investment and risk control strategies for a dynamic contagion process with diffusion
Authors: Chen Xiuxian , Sun Zhongyang , Zhu Dan
Published: November 2024

This paper explored an investment and risk control issue within a contagious financial market, specifically focusing on a mean-variance (MV) framework for an insurer. The market's risky assets were depicted via a jump-diffusion model, featuring jumps due to a multivariate dynamic contagion process with diffusion (DCPD). The process enveloped several popular processes, including the Hawkes process with exponentially decaying intensity, the Cox process with Poisson shot-noise intensity, and the Cox process with Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) intensity. The model distinguished between externally excited jumps, indicative of exogenous influences, modeled by the Cox process, and internally excited jumps, representing endogenous factors captured by the Hawkes process. Given an expected terminal wealth, the insurer seeked to minimize the variance of terminal wealth by adjusting the issuance volume of policies and investing the surplus in the financial market. In order to address this MV problem, we employed a suite of mathematical techniques, including the stochastic maximum principle (SMP), backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs), and linear-quadratic (LQ) control techniques. These methodologies facilitated the derivation of both the efficient strategy and the efficient frontier. The presentation of the results in a semi-closed form was governed by a nonlocal partial differential equation (PDE). For empirical validation and demonstration of our methodology's efficacy, we provided a series of numerical examples.
Izzivi relativne kronologije razvoja labiovelarov v anatolski jezikovni skupini
Authors: Brenko Luka
Published: November 2024

Prispevek obravnava vprašanje fonemskega statusa odrazov praindoevropskih labiovelarov v anatolski jezikovni skupini v diahroni luči, predvsem v oziru na relativno kronologijo glasovnih sprememb, ki se jih tičejo. Pomembna je predvsem interakcija med labiovelari in labialnim drsnikom ter zlogotvornimi rezonanti. Glede na relativno kronologijo je razvoj zlogotvornih rezonantov ob labialnem drsniku in labiovelarih bolje razumeti kot praanatolsko prezlogovanje, kasnejše razzlogovanje pa je ločen, verjetno posameznojezičen proces. To ponudi tudi razlago za izstopajoč razvoj manjše skupine glagolov, v katerih je v posebnem fonetičnem okolju prezlogovanje blokirano, o-jevski vokalizem v izpričanih odrazih prezlogovanja pa je posledica povsem ločene pozne glasovne spremembe.

A FOUR-COMPONENT FRAMEWORK TOWARDS A NEW ARCHITECTURAL TRANSLATION OF BIOPHILIC DESIGN BD FRAMEWORKS AND STRATEGIES
Authors: Shahda Merhan M.
Published: November 2024

Biophilic design (BD) is defined as a design approach that promotes human-nature connectedness (HNC) in the built environment (BE), resulting in a significant impact on human health, well-being, and productivity, in addition to several economic, social, and environmental benefits. This study presents a critical analysis of the most important proposed frameworks and strategies for the application of BD from 2008 to 2022 to identify points of confusion and weaknesses and try to avoid them. The study concluded by presenting a Four-Component Framework as a new architectural translation that seeks to facilitate the application of BD in the design of the BE to achieve the benefits of HNC. The proposed framework focuses on separating the elements of nature from the methods in which these elements are used, from the desired experiences from the BD's intended goals. As a result of this separation, architects and designers may find that by applying this framework, the application of BD becomes easier, more tangible, and unambiguous.
Territoires du productivisme, paysages altérés
Authors: Marcon Alessandra
Published: November 2024

Cet article propose une réflexion sur les territoires et les paysages altérés par les logiques agro-industrielles encouragées par des objectifs productivistes. Étant donné que ces altérations sont de nature complexe et entrelacent différentes échelles, l’urbanisme et le paysage ont besoin de nouveaux outils et des clés de lecture critiques pour comprendre et réinterpréter la complexité de ces altérations. La question est de comprendre comment et à travers quels outils ils peuvent s’allier pour sonder et représenter ces paysages altérés. Le transect est ainsi considéré comme un possible dispositif exploratoire et analytique permettant une approche expérimentale au carrefour des connaissances en matière d’urbanisme et de paysage. Fruit d’une recherche doctorale, la contribution se structure autour du récit d’un voyage sur un transect effectué en Vendée, territoire hybride urbain-rural et berceau d’un ancien système de production local, qui s’est spécialisé dans le secteur agroalimentaire. À partir d’un récit à la première personne, l’article propose un parcours structuré en quatre subtransects allant du cœur du Bocage jusqu’à la côte atlantique de la Faute-sur-mer. Le transect croise expérience sensible, enquête scientifique, recueil de témoignages et recherche cartographique. Il fait ressurgir les tensions et conflits latents liés aux altérations qui conditionnent le paysage et ses habitants. Le transect se présente donc comme un outil pertinent aussi bien pour révéler et comprendre la complexité des paysages altérés que pour penser l’altération comme levier afin d’imaginer un nouveau projet commun de territoire et de paysage.
Analyse des erreurs phonétiques des apprenants iraniens du FLE : le cas des groupes consonantiques /bR/ et /kR/
Authors: Otroshi Mohamad-Hossein , Abdoltajedini Kamyar
Published: November 2024

Ce travail de recherche porte sur des erreurs phonétiques dans l’apprentissage d’une langue étrangère, plus particulièrement la production de deux groupes consonantiques /bR/ et /kR/ du français langue étrangère (FLE) par 6 apprenants iraniens au niveau débutant (A1). L’objectif est d’analyser et d’expliquer les écarts de prononciation engendrés par ces deux groupes consonantiques. Pour cela, les productions de 8 mots français par 6 apprenants de première année de la langue française ont été enregistrées et analysées. Les résultats de cette étude montrent que la prononciation de ces groupes consonantiques est erronée et deux éléments causent cette difficulté : les caractéristiques acoustiques des composants du groupe consonantique et la position du groupe dans le mot. Nous avons observé cinq causes d’erreur : le non relâchement de la consonne, le découpage du groupe, l’ajout d’un son vocoïde, l’élision d’une des composantes du groupe et la substitution d’une consonne du groupe par une autre.
Sur les traces du « Gambadeur-de-la-plaine ». Trajectoire d’un conte ronga
Authors: Schmid Andreas
Published: November 2024

Retraçant la trajectoire d’un conte ronga intitulé « Matlangu-wa-libala » (« Le Gambadeur-de-la-Plaine »), cet article montre comment recherche de provenance et critique philologique peuvent être conjuguées. Il existe de ce conte des versions très différentes : dans le roman de Simone Schwarz-Bart Ti Jean L’horizon (1979), dans des anthologies de contes populaires éditées entre autres par les écrivains d’avant-garde Carl Einstein (1925) et Blaise Cendrars (1921), ou encore par le linguiste Carl Meinhof (1917). La première version écrite du récit, qui figure dans les travaux du missionnaire Henri Junod (1898), mérite une attention particulière : elle nous renseigne sur Chiguyane, la conteuse dont le nom et l’identité, mais aussi la théorie littéraire, ont disparu dans les versions résultant des pratiques d’appropriation et de circulation qui se sont imposées.
