Memory Strategies for Vocabulary Learning Employed by Saudi Undergraduate EFL Learners
Authors: Fahad Aljurbua Mona
Published: August 2021

Saudi EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners have difficulty in chosen appropriate strategies for learning vocabulary and memorization during their undergraduate studies. Saudi undergraduate learners have the problem in remembering words at a point of need such as writing and speaking. In search of solution to this problem in Saudi Arabia, this study aims to examine the memory strategies for vocabulary learning employed by Saudi undergraduate EFL learners in Saudi Arabia. Overall, 110 Saudi undergraduate learners participated in this study. The study employs quantitative approach using descriptive statistical analysis. This study used Oxford (2003) language learning strategies of memory strategies for vocabulary learning. The results revealed that the creating mental linkage (CML) is the common and the highly most used vocabulary learning strategy by Saudi undergraduate EFL learners in Saudi Arabia. Subsequently, reviewing well (RW) and applying images & sounds (AIS) learning strategies are the second and the third most highly used strategies among the students. The EA learning strategy is the least used among the undergraduate EFL learners. Further, the findings also indicated that the Saudi undergraduate EFL learners prefer CML strategy more than they use employing actions (EA) in their vocabulary learning and memorization. According to these results, CML and RW strategies were observed to be both at a high level of utilization, whereas AIS and EA categories were at the medium utilization level. Based on the results, high usage ranges from a mean of 4.0 or above, medium usage ranges from a mean of 2.5 to 3.9, and low usage ranges from a mean of 2.4 or lower. Therefore, CML and RW strategies appeared to be most appropriate choice for Saudi students in memorizing vocabularies. It is recommended that future study should focus on in-depth analysis of these two most used strategies to encompass the depth and breadth of the usage and memorization.
TYPA, Innovation in a Museum Context
Authors: Biszewski Charlotte Emma
Published: August 2021

How do print museums develop an innovative approach to their collection while providing their visitors with historical context? Using artistic printmaking to keep the heritage of print alive, many ‘working museums’ promote the global knowledge of letterpress, relying on international collaborations to generate innovative and creative approaches. The the International Council of Museums’ guidelines, only refers to a ‘working museum’, but does not offer a clear definition of what this is. How can an operational print museum demonstrate innovative practices and retain the existing knowledge of letterpress? This paper will examine the ‘working print museum’, how it can be not only a site for reimagining the past but provide new forms of research and pioneering adaptations of old technologies. This research is inspired by the concept that as the initial infatuation with certain technologies has passed, we have entered a relationship with them in expanded artistic adventure. The paper promotes the idea that printmaking and letterpress allow for a collaborative approach which not only serves to strengthen communities but can be more than a mere reproduction of a historical process and allow for expanded experimentation. Through an in-depth look of the contemporary practices, ethos, and developments of printing museums in Europe, this paper raises questions surrounding the role of museums in this post-digital world. It will look at the future of the ‘working print museum’ and suggest how letterpress practices can extend through international and European collaborations.
From the Company Town to the Innovation Zone: Frontiers of Public Policy, the State Action Doctrine, and the First Amendment
Authors: Peabody Bruce , Morgan Kyle
Published: August 2021

This article draws on the state action doctrine and the case Marsh v. Alabama to evaluate a recent proposal to create an unprecedented public-private partnership in the state of Nevada. In Marsh, the Supreme Court of the United States held that a private citizen was protected under the U.S. Constitution's First and Fourteenth Amendments in distributing religious literature on the sidewalk of a “company-owned” town. We make the case that both the state policy under consideration and a number of political and economic trend lines indicate that the issue central to Marsh remains pressing at the start of our new millennium: what are the circumstances under which concentrated private power amounts to something akin to government authority, thereby implicating the protections of the national Constitution? Our goal in this piece is not to offer an exhaustive or thorough review of the particulars of the “Innovation Zone” bill under consideration, but to consider, in advance, constitutional problems that might arise from granting corporations broad powers traditionally wielded by governments.
Electrical Conductivity and Water Effects in Phosphoric Acid Solutions for Doping of Membranes in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Authors: Giffin Jürgen , Conti Fosca , Korte Carsten
Published: August 2021

Fuel cells (FCs) are among the more efficient solutions to limit the emission of greenhouse gases. Based on the conversion of the chemical energy of a fuel (often hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often oxygen) into electrical energy, a typical FC produces a voltage of 0.7 V under load. The potential is highly increased by placing the cells in series to obtain a stacked cell. Among the types of FCs, the polymer electrolyte membrane FCs (PEMFCs) are developed mainly for transport applications, because of their low impact on the environment, high power density and light weight compared with other types of FCs. Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes are widely used as efficient electrolytes. The performance of a (high temperature, 130–200 °C) HT-PEMFC depends mainly on the amount of H3PO4 in the solid polymer membrane. The strong autoprotolysis of H3PO4 is responsible for the high proton conductivity also in the anhydrous state. In this study, the H2OH3PO4 system is investigated in the temperature range 60–150 °C with varying water vapour activity at constant atmospheric pressure. Main purpose is to gain more insights into the kinetics of the equilibria in the H2O-H3PO4 system, which influence the fuel cell performance. Density, water content, electrical conductivity and activation energy are determined by exposing H3PO4 solutions for sufficiently long periods to controlled gas atmosphere in order to reach near-equilibrium conditions. The coexistence of ortho- and pyrophosphoric acid is analysed and higher condensed species are also considered. A new setup fully made in quartz is designed and developed to mix the phosphoric acid solutions in a climate chamber. The experimental results are compared to literature data to validate the developed setup and the methodology.

Published: August 2021

В статье рассматриваются проблемы «практического» применения политической теории и политической философии, ее место в структуре познания политического. Особое внимание уделяется проблеме «практичного знания» (Usable knowledge)а также его релевантности. Различие между обычным политическим теоретизированием и «практичным знанием» заключается в цели исследования, а отнюдь не в методах или способах артикулирования. Актуальность задачи приобрела особое значение в связи со сложившейся за последние годы недооценкой значения политической теории как для реальной политики, так и процесса политологического образования.

Published: August 2021

Background:

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare, aggressive, and hard-to-treat tumor whose worldwide incidence has been rising since mid-20th century. It that has been etiologically associated to asbestos exposure. Prognosis is poor with an overall survival rate of less than 1 year in untreated patients. Although considered a disease of the elderly, a subset of patients with mesothelioma are young. MPM is a rare cause of pleural effusion in the clinical practice among younger adults. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is required for its diagnosis.

Case presentation:

We herein describe a 31-year-old male patient with a BRCA1-associated-protein-1 negative MPM who presented with recurrent pleural effusions. The patient had no history of asbestos exposure.

Conclusion:

MPM is a rare cause of pleural effusion in the clinical practice among younger adults. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is required for its diagnosis.
Voltage Collapse Prediction of IEEE 30-Bus system
Authors: Ibrahim Mohammed H. , Jasim Abdulsattar H.
Published: August 2021

Voltage collapse in the power system occurs as a result of voltage instability, thus which lead to a blackout, and this is a constant concern for network workers and customers alike. In this paper, voltage collapse is studied using two approved methods: the modal analysis method and voltage stability indices. In the modal analysis method, the eigenvalues were calculated for all the load buses, through which it is possible to know the stability of the power system, The participation factor was also calculated for the load buses, which enables us to know the weakest buses in the system. As for the Voltage stability Indices method, two important indices were calculated, which are: Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI) and Line stability index (Lmn). These two indices give a good visualization of the stability of the system and the knowledge of the weakest buses, as well as the Maximum load-ability of the load buses. The above mentioned two methods were applied using software code using MATLAB \ R2018a program to the IEEE 30-Bus test system. In the modal analysis, the buses which have the maximum participation factor are 26, 29, and 30 this indicates that they are the weakest in the system. as well as in the voltage stability indices. These buses have the lowest maximum load ability which demonstrates the possibility of using both methods or one of them to study the voltage collapse.

Introduction. Entandrophragma tree species have been the subject of special attention by foresters and scientists for several decades. The purpose of this bibliographic review is to examine the current knowledge acquired on the taxonomy and ecology of this genus in order to identify new research priorities. Literature. The genus Entandrophragma has exclusively African species (10 to 12) that are exploited for the quality of their wood. These species are widespread in the Guineo-Congolese region (6 species) and in the Zambezian and Afromontane regions (5 species). The genus is characterized by a taxonomic evolution that has resulted in an important synonymy of species names (36 to 37). Ecological studies have been carried out on some major commercial species (Entandrophragma angolense, Entandrophragma congoense, Entandrophragma candollei, Entandrophragma cylindricum, Entandrophragma palustre and Entandrophragma utile) in their phytogeographic zones, mainly in the Guineo-Congolese region. Conclusions. Taxonomy and ecology of Entandrophragma tree species typically occurring in woodlands and savannas have been insufficiently studied in comparison with Entandrophragma species occurring in rainforests. Research needs to be developed for the improvement of taxonomic, genetic and ecological knowledge, with a view to formulating appropriate recommendations for the conservation and sustainable management of these species.

The Prepositions V and U in Bulgatian (on the Subject of Language Development)
Authors:   Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridsky”, Sofia, Bulgaria, Petrova Stefka
Published: August 2021

One of the relatively common mistakes in written Bulgarian is the misuse of the prepositions V and U, the disappearance of the distinction between them, and the generalization of their semantic similarity. This is manifested primarily in the replacement of the preposition B by U. The work analyzes fully or partially recorded examples with preposition B, and is divided into three groups: 1. Misuse; 2. Possibility for two uses; 3. Use of preposition B instead of other prepositions. The author envisages further validation of the use of preposition B instead of preposition U. Keywords: Preposition, Use, Replacement, Error, Disappearance of the Distinction Between B and U

Face Perception Deficits in Developmental Prosopagnosia
Authors: Macaskill Ella
Published: August 2021

Face recognition is a fundamental cognitive function that is essential for social interaction – yet not everyone has it. Developmental prosopagnosia is a lifelong condition in which people have severe difficulty recognising faces but have normal intellect and no brain damage. Despite much research, the component processes of face recognition that are impaired in developmental prosopagnosia are not well understood. Two core processes are face perception, being the formation of visual representations of a currently seen face, and face memory, being the storage, maintenance, and retrieval of those representations. Most studies of developmental prosopagnosia focus on face memory deficits, but a few recent studies indicate that face perception deficits might also be important. Characterising face perception in developmental prosopagnosia is crucial for a better understanding of the condition. In this thesis, I addressed this issue in a large-scale experiment with 108 developmental prosopagnosics and 136 matched controls. I assessed face perception abilities with multiple measures and ran a broad range of analyses to establish the severity, scope, and nature of face perception deficits in developmental prosopagnosia. Three major results stand out. First, face perception deficits in developmental prosopagnosia were severe, and could be comparable in size to face memory deficits. Second, the face perception deficits were widespread, affecting the whole sample rather than a subset of individuals. Third, the deficits were mainly driven by impairments to mechanisms specialised for processing upright faces. Further analyses revealed several other features of the deficits, including the use of atypical and inconsistent strategies for perceiving faces, difficulties matching the same face across different pictures, equivalent impact of lighting and viewpoint variations in face images, and atypical perceptual and non-perceptual components of test performance. Overall, my thesis shows that face perception deficits are more central to developmental prosopagnosia than previously thought and motivates further research on the issue.
One's Home - Finding a balance between community and individuality
Authors: Takemoto Yuri
Published: August 2021

The urban lifestyle separates many families, forcing members to live alone.

As population grows and cities condense, we need to build up, and live small. However, as we and the space we occupy become smaller relative to the city, we lose the sense of integration with and connection to context (Florian Urban, 2012). Without feeling belonging, we often feel loneliness. Those who live alone need to feel that they are a part of a community while celebrating their individuality.

This thesis explores ways to reduce loneliness through the design of social housing through co-living. It considers the diversity of people and their choices of living needs, creating a place where we feel belonging as part of a community, while having enough privacy to feel safe. The design aspect of the thesis explores the different design techniques which reflect studies of sociology and learnings from precedents in order to support the physical and emotional well-being of the residents while also being more sustainable by being space efficient.
Playful Assembly
Authors: Lewis Rebecca
Published: August 2021

Porirua is a small city I lived in from the age of ten to sixteen. It is the home to Wellington region’s best indoor go-karting track and fallen victim to urban sprawl. The first of four of my homes in this area was in the newly developed Aotea block and at the time it was the first house on the street. My four year old brother would sit and watch diggers and tractors all day, and in the afternoon we climbed them. All this destruction was intensely entertaining to a child. The devastation hit when the neighbour’s house got built, along with the rest of the street, in what felt like a week. Just like that, the glory days were over. We moved a couple years after this closer into the Whitby community. Aotea development was so new all it had was houses, I wouldn’t even call them homes. My mum got sick of travelling to Whitby all the time for milk and so on, so we eventually moved closer to the town. I could walk or bike to and from school. It was all so close; the dairy, friends’ houses, football park, playground, skatepark, everything! The glory days were back and better than ever.

This move into an established community felt more like home. The simple rituals of walking to the dairy to get milk (and a lolly bag) became something I regularly enjoyed. The accessibility of amenities gave me independence and made life easier. The ‘home’ broke through the boundaries of the house and into the park, the biked streets and the football pitch. If one can feel at home within a whole community then why build new houses separate from established towns? All on their lonesome, dependent on cars and with diggers for neighbours.

This thesis re-conceives Porirua as a playful assembly. With an emphasis on cultural wealth, this process establishes an architectural language promoting Porirua’s development towards a creative city. Cultural wealth is a term which gives priority to the cultural layer of the city, it emphasises creation rather than consumption. Creativity sits at the heart of this layer making it a crucial element of the creative city. The wealth of culture in Porirua comes from its depth of diversity; in Maori, Pasifika and Pakeha and others coming together. While the specific cultures aren’t emphasised, the importance lies within this diversity. This is one of the reasons I chose the Porirua CBD as the site for my thesis.

My playful process crosses paths with art, architecture and urban perspectives to develop a visual language emphasising creation within the city. The search for my own creative voice lends itself to the importance of self-expression within the city. Through this thesis work, I wanted to encourage people to more openly produce self-expressive work. I recognise that the city already has these processes and the products and processes of my creative voice target the creation of these spaces giving them priority and emphasis in the city. This thesis aims to create a welcoming, inclusive environment for people to create. Within the urban realm an alternative view is presented holding creativity at the heart of the city rather than economy.
Self-Reported Gum Bleeding in COVID-19 Patients: A Questionnaire-Based Study
Authors: Manzalawi Rahaf , Alhamamey Khulud , Abdelrasoul Mohamed Roshdy
Published: August 2021

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected a huge number of people around the world. It has increased worldwide mortality and morbidity and is accompanied by different signs and symptoms. Some researchers have linked oral manifestations as introductory signs for COVID-19, such as vesiculobullous lesions, non-specific stomatitis, and oral ulcers. The oral cavity has been perceived as a potential reservoir for asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, specifically the salivary glands and the oral mucosa. This study builds on a previous case report by the authors on COVID-19 associated gingival bleeding in an attempt to investigate the generalization of this relation. Methods: A cross-sectional survey based on a struc­tured, pre-tested, and validated questionnaire that was adapted and modified by the authors was carried out electronically for a minimal sample size of patients that was calculated for this study beforehand. This study was approved by the Batterjee Medical College ethical committee and data collection followed a structured criteria and a clear work plan based on the established inclusion criteria.  Results: The questionnaire had a high response rate of 315 participants. 63.2% (n=199) reported gum bleeding during virus infection time – 25.6% (n=51) of whom reported that this symptom was present prior to COVID-19 infection. 88.9% (n=177) of participants reported only mild bleeding. Gingival bleeding was more prevalent among females 63.8% (n=127) compared to males 36.2% (n=72) (odds ratio: 0.859 [95% CI, 0.530 to 1.394]). Conclusion: Gingival bleeding may be considered as one of the signs of COVID-19 and is a prevalent symptom as reported by infected patients. However, a larger sample size and investigation of hospitalized moderate and severe cases of the disease would help elucidate the actual association.

Introduction:
The gas in the vessels of the portal system and arterial vessels is a very disturbing symptom and life-threatening condition.

Aim:
The aim of this study is to present a case of gas in the left ventricle (LV), ascending aorta (Ao), superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and hepatic portal vein (HPV) as a complication of gastric ulcer perforation (GUP).

Case study:
A 78-year-old male patient, who had undergone a laparotomy due to gas in the HPV, SMV, Ao, and both chambers of the heart with concomitant GUP and critical pyloric stenosis. Laparotomy revealed perforation of the gastric wall with limited wall necrosis and critical pyloric stenosis. The patient died on postoperative day 1 due to multiple organ failure.

Results and discussion:
The presence of gas in HPV (HPVG) and systemic circulation is a rare pathological condition associated with various abdominal diseases. GUP with a gas in the HPV, MV and Ao is very rare. While the mechanism of gas entry into the portal veins of the portal system is better understood, the paths of gas entry into the arterial vessels are still not fully understood and their descriptions are casuistic.

Conclusions:
The treatment of patients with air in the HPV and systemic vessels is extremely difficult and has a very high risk of failure.
