Authors: Khatter Sanaa
Published: October 2019

This study was conducted to explore and analyze the most common essay writing errors among Saudi female learners at the departments of English, Majmaa'h University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Therefore, the aim has been to identify those difficulties from an error analysis standpoint and identify the sources underlying them. An analysis of a written corpus of forty students' written essays was thoroughly conducted. Types of errors were categorized, and the factors that contributed to them were analyzed. The participants were English majors in their third year of study enrolled in an advanced writing course during the first term pertinent to the academic year 2018-2019. Three essays were given to each participant to write about two to four pages using the narrative, descriptive, and compare/contrast organization. A writing difficulties questionnaire was further employed. The findings showed that the most frequent types of errors made by the participants were: punctuation errors forming the most troublesome area, followed by spelling errors, preposition errors, article errors, wrong verb tense, wrong word form respectively. The findings suggested that writing in English as a foreign language is quite challenging for students. Interlingual and intralingual transfer was found to be the source underlying the most common errors.
A Plea for a Focus on the Contrasts between Two Paradigms and Their Implications for Problem Statement
Authors: BOUKEZZOULA Mohammed
Published: October 2019

To adequately tackle a research problem, master students of applied linguistics should learn that the selection of (a) data elicitation technique (s) should be made in consistence with choices at three other levels: method, methodology and paradigm. Hence, this paper addresses the following question: how should the methodology course be reformulated to render it more efficient in raising students’ awareness of this issue? An analysis of some research methods manuals currently in use reveals that two major obstacles hinder students ‘ability to learn this issue: the pluralistic nature of applied linguistics and the rampant use of mixed methodologies. To overcome these obstacles, this paper proposes a teaching strategy consisting of focusing the initial phase on a contrastive analysis of two methods, which stand at extreme positions on the methodological continuum in applied linguistics, namely, experimental design and ethnography. Moreover, given that the presentation of the differences between these two methods is not sufficient, the paper argues that this presentation should be reinforced by a foregrounding of the essential differences in problem statement in the two research traditions in question. The paper concludes with some recommendations on the appropriate way to implement the proposed teaching strategy.
Convertible Bonds Analytics
Authors: Xiao Tim
Published: October 2019

This paper presents a new framework that relies on the probability distribution of a default jump rather than the default jump itself, as the default jump is usually inaccessible. As such, the model can back out the market prices of convertible bonds. A prevailing belief in the market is that convertible arbitrage is mainly due to convertible underpricing. Empirically, however, we do not find evidence supporting the underpricing hypothesis. Instead, we find that convertibles have relatively large positive gammas. As a typical convertible arbitrage strategy employs delta-neutral hedging, a large positive gamma can make the portfolio highly profitable, especially for a large movement in the underlying stock price. https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/zr7hp/download

The purpose of the study was to improve treatment of patients with Stable Angina  functional class III (FC) with concomitant arterial hypertension (AH) through a combination of standard therapy with L-arginine. There were examined63 patients with Stable Angina III FK with AH. All patients in the clinic were analyzedby the test with reactive hyperemia, were measured levels of cardio-ankle vascular index, pulse wave velocity, aortic stiffness index and the thickness of the complex "intima-media". It has been established that in studied patients with L-arginine significantly improves endothelium dependent vasodilatation, presumably due to the supply of substrate for the synthesis of nitric oxide, as well as due to antioxidant properties, which prevents the excessive formation of toxic peroxynitrite in conditions of high oxidation stress. Endothelial-independent vasodilation in the standard therapy group was significantly lowered, while in the L-arginine group, the incidence of changes was unreliable, which may indicate a decrease in sensitivity to nitrates in Group I. Thus, the inclusion to antianginal and antihypertensive therapyof L-arginine is more pronouncedaffects subclinical parameters of arterial rigidity, than in the background of treatment with standard therapy.

Published: October 2019

The purpose of the work was to study the quantitative and qualitative composition of microbiota of the colon in patients with psoriasis and eczema infectious and to analyze the impact of its violations on the severity of the clinical course of the diseases. There were examined in a complex way 34 patients with psoriasis and eczema in factious illness. The age of the subjectsrangedfrom 23 to 70 years, amongthem: women – 15 (44,1 %), men – 19 (55,9 %), the period of the disease ranged from 2 to 42 years. The control group consisted of 20 practically healthy persons. In order to diagnose concomitant dysbiotic changes in the large intestine, microbiological examination of feces was performed on the patients (according to the method of Epstein – Litvak and Vilshanskaya). A high incidence of various intestinal pathologies (dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome, functional disorders by the hepatobiliary system, gallstone disease etc.) was detected. In the microbiological study of feces, concomitant dysbiosis of the colon was detected in 16 (72,7 %) patients. Disturbance of the microbiota of the colon of varying severity is more often diagnosed in patients with more severe clinical course of psoriasis and eczema of infectious, as well as with a longer duration of the disease. The obtained data suggest that the intestinal microbiota, in particular colon dysbiosis, should be considered an important pathogenetic factor that negatively influences the nature and severity of the psoriasis and infectious eczema and requires timely diagnosis and appropriate medical correction.
CIRCULATION IN STUMP OF BONE AT VARIOUS METHODS OF AMPUTATION PLASTICS

Published: October 2019

The purpose of the study was to determine the most effective methods of amputation plasty, which provide adequate blood circulation in the bone stump. Three series of experiments were performed on 75 dogs with closure of the sawdust with myodesis, a combination of myodesis with bone plasty with a thin cortical plate taken from the part of the limb to be removed (main groups), fascioplastic and myoplastic, with the cross-linking of the antagonist muscles under the sawdust (control group). The observation period was1, 3, 8 months. The advantage of dense closure of the medullary cavity with the help of myodesis and its combination with bone plasticity by a thin cortical plate has been proved. Restoration of intraosseous pressure disturbed during amputation during a month period occurs only with myodesis with tight closure of muscles and bone plastic with a thin cortical plate tightly laid at the edge of the open bone marrow cavity. With fascio- and myoplasty in the next time (1–3 months), it is low, and in the distant (8 months) – high, due to pronounced venous stasis. Restoration of the impaired closure of the medullary cavity is achieved already during the operation, which ensures complete compression of the lumen of the feeding artery along with the venous sinus, and rapid formation of the osseous occlusal plate with restoration of normal intraosseous circulation. With fascio- and myoplastic amputation, incomplete closure of the medullary canal with tissues is an obstacle to powerful blood flow along the intraosteal main vessels, which under its influence become convoluted and form vascular conglomerates. The latter, occupying the lumen of the medullary canal, create a mechanical obstacle to the restoration of the closed bone marrow cavity necessary for normalization of intraosseous microcirculation.

Publishing & the Book in Africa: A Literature Review for 2018
Authors: Zell Hans
Published: October 2019

All the records in the four annual literature reviews thus far published are scheduled to be integrated into the online database of Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa. Unfortunately, access to the database remains temporarily unavailable. It is currently still in the process of being relaunched by its new host institution, Kwara State University Library in Nigeria (and see also the 2015 press release at http://www.hanszell.co.uk/Site/PDFs/Press%20release.pdf) Due to a number of persistent technical problems relating to metadata mapping and software functionality, as well as ongoing software development and data transfer issues, there have been serious delays in the migration of the database. However, the new hosts hope that remaining problems and issues can now be resolved shortly, and that they will be able to relaunch the database sometime early in 2019 on a more dynamic, Drupal-based open source content management platform. The first batch of updates and over 500 entirely new records will then also be added to the database. Meantime the accompanying collection of books, monograph series, journals, articles, and other documents on publishing and book development in Sub-Saharan Africa, from 1996 to 2014, donated by Hans Zell to Kwara State University Library in 2015 is now accessible at the recipient library. This is a continuation of an earlier collection and archive (for the 1960-1995 period) that was donated to the African Publishers Network/APNET in Harare in 1995. The 1996-2014 collection has now been fully catalogued and records have been created for each item and integrated in KWASU’s Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC). A complete listing and inventory of the collection (which includes unpublished and archival material) can be found at http://kwasu.edu.ng/library/pbrssa.html. This page also includes a user guide, and an online form to register for access to and use of the collection. Access is free to any bona fide scholar or researcher from around the globe.

Published: October 2019

İnsanların çok az kontrol sahibi oldukları servet, cinsiyet, etnik köken
ve konum gibi koşulların, eğitim ve yaşam fırsatlarını şekillendirmede önemli
bir rolü vardır. Bu nedenle eşitsizlik sorunu, sadece sosyal ve ekonomik açıdan
değil eğitim açısından da önemli konulardan biri haline gelmiştir. Eğitimdeki
eşitsizliğin giderilmesi için politika yapıcılar ve uygulayıcılar eğitim ve diğer
sosyal olanakların eşit dağılımını sağlamalıdır. Toplumların sahip oldukları
sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel sermaye bileşimi eğitimle etkileşim halindedir.
Ayrıca, bilindiği gibi eğitim özellikle beşerî sermayenin geliştirilmesi
konusundaki kilit unsurlardan biridir. Beşerî sermaye birikimi engellendiğinde
meydana gelecek olan kayıplar telafi edilemez, bu yüzden nitelikli işgücüne
ulaşma açısından eğitime önem vermemiz gerekmektedir. Ancak gerek eğitimin
niteliği gerekse eğitime ulaşım açısından tüm ülkelerde eşit koşullar
sağlanamamaktadır. Bu nedenle, eğitimdeki eşitsizliğin yoğun olduğu ülkelerde
insanların sahip oldukları zekâ, yetenek, kabiliyet farklılaşmakta ve beşerî
sermayenin kalkınma ve büyüme sürecindeki etkileri sınırlandırılmaktadır.

Bu çalışmada amacımız İnsani Gelişme Endeksinde alt bir endeks olarak
hesaplanan ve eğitimin ülkede ortalama dağılımı hakkında bilgi veren Eğitim
Endeksi ile eğitimin dağılımına duyarlı olan Eşitsizlikle Uyumlandırılmış
Eğitim Endeksinin ülkeler arası karşılaştırılmasıdır. Çalışmamızda ayrıca
eğitim dağılımından kaynaklı kayıpların hangi ülke grupları için yüksek olduğu
tespit edilecek ve bu ülkelerde daha eşit bir eğitimin sağlanması için çözüm
önerileri getirilecektir.

Estimation of the Poisson’s Rate of the Intact Rock in the Function of the Rigidity
Authors: Lógó Benedek A. , Vásárhelyi Balázs
Published: October 2019

Although Poisson’s ratio is one of the basic rock mechanical parameters, it is less investigated than the other parameters. It can be assumed, that this material constant depends on the rigidity of the rock, among the others. The goal of this research is to find a theoretical relationship between the rigidity of the intact rock and Poisson’s ratio. It was assumed that there is a connection between the internal friction angle (or cohesion) and rigidity of the isotropic, linear elastic material, using the Mohr-Coulomb theory. Based on these equations from different published limit equilibrium, six different equations were compared. It is published that the rigidity value is equal (within the experimental error) to the Hoek-Brown material constant (mi) which value is well-known for many different rock types. Plotting the published Poisson’s ratio in the function of the rigidity of the intact rock the optimal connection was chosen.

This paper reports on language learning strategies to develop speaking skill employed by university students categorized as high achiever students. It also focuses on the reasons why they employed those strategies. The study focuses on the above topics because the research concerning language learning strategies to develop speaking skill still receives a little attention in Indonesian EFL context. Some researchers, such as Chamot (1993), affirm that language learning strategy has primarily benefit for developing speaking skill. Two university students were participating in this study. They were studying in the eighth semester at a university in Bandung. They were taking a three-month English for Job Seekers Program supported by the university. In selecting the participants, this study made use of purposeful sampling to gain the important information from the participants (Alwasilah, 2002: 146). The instruments used were questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaires were adapted from Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) Version7.0 as well as Background Questionnaire developed by Oxford (1990). The interview was an open-ended interview. The study then revealed several findings, among others, is that the high achiever students employed meta-cognitive strategies the most. Concerning the reasons why they employed those strategies were presented in this research.

EU’s Gender Equality Dilemma: A Human Rights or a Market Economy Instrument?
Authors: Bal Sinem
Published: October 2019

In the early stages of the European Integration, gender equality related policies were narrowly tackled due to the economic recovery priority of the Union. Although there was a rise of national and international women movements all around Europe, gender equality, particularly as a new paradigm, had not gained priority until the 1990s, when the EU was newly building a political presence in the world politics. Since the Copenhagen Criteria were presented in 1993, gender equality embedded titles have proven to be more promising as they are declared as a part of the EU’s human rights norms and the EU’s self-image towards ‘Others’. In a similar vein, specifically in that period the EU has contributed several international women conventions and has undertaken responsibilities in terms of promoting equality between men and women in its external relations. However, the explanations how a gender equality norm matters in the EU are yet unsatisfied due to the continuity of gender blind policies and strategies. This paper scrutinizes the content within which the EU has constructed gender equality norm inside its borders and then exported it as a Europeanization norm in its relations with Turkey. In light of the EU’s official documents and imposition of gender equality as an accession criterion, it can be argued that instead of creating an ideational change in the unequal conception of gender roles, the EU constantly instrumentalizes gender equality as a regulatory mechanism for market economy both inside the Union and throughout its enlargement process. Hence, despite its gender sensitive image, the EU falls short in internalizing

Multimodal Dynamic Journey-Planning
Authors: Giannakopoulou Kalliopi , Paraskevopoulos Andreas , Zaroliagis Christos
Published: October 2019

In this paper, a new model, known as the multimodal dynamic timetable model (DTM), is presented for computing optimal multimodal journeys in schedule-based public transport systems. The new model constitutes an extension of the dynamic timetable model (DTM), which was developed originally for a different setting (unimodal journey-planning). Multimodal DTM demonstrates a very fast query algorithm that meets the requirement for real-time response to best journey queries, and an ultra-fast update algorithm for updating the timetable information in case of delays of scheduled-based vehicles. An experimental study on real-world metropolitan networks demonstrates that the query and update algorithms of Multimodal DTM compare favorably with other state-of-the-art approaches when public transport, including unrestricted—with respect to departing time—traveling (e.g., walking and electric vehicles) is considered.
