Translanguaging as a disruptive pedagogy in language education An analysis of metacognitive reflections of second-year undergraduate students
Authors: Charamba Erasmos , Nkomo Sibhekinkosi Anna
Published: January 2023

Debate on whether the use of translanguaging is disruptive of monolingual ideologies and practices that predominate global tertiary education seem to be still in its infancy. Contemporary research in the area focuses on what appears conflicting though lucid discourses on eliminating boundaries between codes or languages, resulting in no ‘named’ languages. This study adopted a qualitative case study approach in which second year undergraduate students taking a literacy course were purposively sampled. The data was collected through analysing the participants’ course related interactions on the virtual space, WhatsApp. The efficacy of WhatsApp as an instructional tool in the teaching and learning context has escalated the interest among researchers in exploring its potential benefit in a multilingual setting. The paper reports on the crucial role language plays in the comprehension, participation, motivation, and consequent ameliorated academic performance of multilingual students. The findings attest that translanguaging, where languages of input and output are consciously alternated, proves to be an indispensable pedagogy and recommends its incorporation in daily instructional practices. Keywords: epistemic access, language learning, literacy, multilingualism, translanguaging, monolingualism

Authors: Widjaja William , Wijayadne Devi Rahnjen
Published: January 2023

This study aims to formulate and answer phenomena related to the competitiveness of family business-based SMEs in the era of disruption from the perspective of knowledge hiding bevahior (KHB), which is influenced by knowledge complexity (KC), psychological ownership (PO) and moderated by avoidance motivation. This research is a survey research type with a quantitative approach. The analytical technique used is SEM-PLS with the help of analysis tools using SMART-PLS 3.0. In addition, simple slope analysis is used to see the moderating role of avoidance motivation in moderating the effect of psychological ownership on knowledge hiding. Respondents in this study were 187-line managers from 78 SMEs. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with a saturated sampling method. The results showed that all hypotheses were accepted, which means that psychological ownership has a positive and significant effect on knowledge sharing, and avoidance motivation can moderate psychological ownership on knowledge sharing. This study contributes to examine the source and effect KHB, thereby providing a method for SMEs, particularly in Indonesia, to effectively reduce KHB. This study also finds AM as a moderating variable that modulates the effect of KC on KH, whereas this was rarely explored in earlier study.
Well-Being and Innovation: Investigating the Linkage among Well-Being Oriented Management, Knowledge Sharing, Innovation Climate, and Innovative Work Behavior
Authors: Putra Tegar Satya , Pramusiwi Aloysia Desy
Published: January 2023

For businesses to survive, innovation is essential. As a result, business experts and academics engaged in extensive discussions about encouraging creativity in corporate settings. However, most of the present literature focuses on the performance management paradigm when discussing innovation. Innovation is a resource-intensive process that, while it improves corporate performance, drains employees' resources. Thus, evaluating innovation through more critical lenses is needed. Through the lenses of the Theory of Conservation of Resources and Job Demand Resources Model, this research views innovation as a job demand and well-being oriented management as human resource intervention to enhance employee well-being. This intervention provides additional resources for employees to conduct innovation through knowledge sharing and is moderated by innovation climate. Purposive sampling is employed for this research survey and yields 150 valid responses. The data is then analyzed using SEM-PLS. The result shows that well-being oriented management positively influences knowledge sharing, and knowledge sharing positively influences innovative work behavior. Furthermore, knowledge sharing is also proven to mediate between well-being-oriented management and innovative work behavior. Moreover, innovation climate does not moderate the relationship between knowledge sharing and innovative work behavior. The result implies that managers must uphold their staff members' well-being by employing well-being-oriented management.

Published: January 2023

Foliar insecticides and insecticidal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) in transgenic cotton are common tools used for bollworm management in cotton. Efficacy of Bt proteins and foliar insecticides can be dependent upon larval location in the plant canopy and time of year. Floral structures are known to be a common food source for bollworm. Floral components can complicate bollworm control with foliar insecticides and transgenic cotton by protecting larvae from contact with formulated insecticides and lower concentrations of Bt proteins. Mortality was measured to evaluate the effects of Bt expression and foliar insecticides in flowers of non-Bt, two-gene Bt, and three-gene Bt cotton varieties. Expression of Bt protein in white flowers provided some efficacy after three days. Bollworm mortality at three days after infestation was less than 50% for all varieties in an unsprayed environment. Larval mortality on Bollgard 3 flowers was higher than that on Bollgard II flowers. Surviving larvae feeding on Bollgard 3 flowers weighed less than larvae that fed on Bollgard II flowers, and larvae that fed on Bollgard II flowers weighed less than those that fed on non-Bt flowers. The use of chlorantraniliprole or methoxyfenozide + spinetoram provided some control of bollworms three days after application to wilting flower corollas (bloom tags). Mortality ranged from 41.9% following application of chlorantraniliprole to 61.0% following application of methoxyfenozide + spinetoram. Results from this study will be used to improve integrated pest management programs for bollworm management in cotton.

Published: January 2023

AIM- To evaluate the knowledge, awareness and attitude of the dentist from North India towards Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) use in preventing dental caries. MATERIALS AND METHODS- An online survey was conducted among dentists of North India using online questionnaire to assess the knowledge, experience, and attitude of dentists regarding the use of SDF. 107 dentists participated in the online survey. Data obtained were analysed statistically. RESULTS-Most participants revealed they were somewhat taught about SDF. 29 % of the participants agreed that SDF can be used as an alternative to the conventional method of caries removal. Nearly about 32.7 % of the participants do not know regarding the application protocol interval for SDF. CONCLUSION- Knowledge about SDF among dental practitioners in North India was low to moderate. Increasing SDF knowledge among dentists may serve as an alternative for treating young patients who cannot co-operate with the traditional dental treatment.  Keywords: Dental Caries, Questionnaires, Silver Diamine Fluoride, Survey.

Youth participation in traditional cultural practices in contemporary Tumu: An exposé on the Ceremonial Costume Art of Fuowie Nasolo, a youth cultural iconic figure in Tumu
Authors: Navei Nyamawero
Published: January 2023

Youth participation in traditional cultural practices in contemporary Africa (Ghana) has been on the decline due to the alarming rate at which African youth assimilate foreign cultures. Many African (Ghanaian) youth nowadays mock African (Ghanaian) ethnic cultures in favour of Western cultures. However, previous research suggests youth cultural activism in Tumu, Ghana. This positive development has the tendency to preserve and promote the cultural identity of Tumu. This study, therefore, sought to establish the motivation behind youth participation in traditional cultural practices in contemporary Tumu with a specific focus on the costume art of Fuowie Nasolo, a youth cultural iconic figure in Tumu. Qualitative descriptive analysis of interview transcripts and photographic data gathered from twenty-five (25) heterogenous-purposively sampled informants reveal that youth cultural activism in contemporary Tumu is engendered by the sustained cultural tutelage provided by the elders of Tumu. Additionally, it was emphasised that youth cultural participation in contemporary Tumu is extrinsically motivated by the admirable cultural activism of Fuowie, the unifying leader of Tumu youth cultural group. A cursory study of the cultural manifestations of Fuowie’s ceremonial costume art, reveals the royal, heroic, and wardress culture of the indigenes of Tumu. Since Fuowie’s cultural activism significantly complements the effort of Tumu elders in promoting youth cultural participation, the study calls for sustained collaboration between Fuowie and the elders of Tumu to massively promote youth participation in traditional cultural activities for cultural preservation, cultural restoration, and the construction of authentic cultural identity of the people of Tumu for posterity.

Authors: Ghazazani Zahra , Heshmati Masoumeh , Asgarpanah Jinous , Pashapour Sanaz
Published: January 2023

Background: Pycnocycla bashagardiana essential oil (EO) is extracted from fruits via hydrodistillation and analyzed through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate molecular docking and cytotoxicity by P. bashagardiana EO in colon cancer cell lines. Methods: The viability rates of P. bashagardiana fruit essential oil (PBFEO)-treated normal L929 and HT29 cancer cells were assessed at 0 - 500 μg/mL in 24 and 48 h by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide. The cell apoptosis percentage was investigated via flow cytometry and gene expression of BAX and BCL2 using the real-time polymerase chain reaction. In addition, the efficient myristicin binding was examined with the BCL2 protein through molecular docking analysis. Results: The half maximal inhibitory concentrations of 431.8 and 450 μg/mL in L929 cells, as well as 278.5 and 144.6 μg/mL in HT29 cells, were recorded at 24 and 48 h, respectively. The cell apoptosis percentage was examined by annexin-V-FITC. The results indicated a significant increase in the apoptosis percentage. A significant increase was also observed in HT29 cancer cells compared to normal L929 cells regarding the expression ratio of BAX/BCL2 genes. Myristicin’s binding affinity to BCL2 was relatively weak compared to the control. Conclusions: Based on the results, myristicin can be suggested as a complementary treatment for colon cancer through more effective treatment and reducing the side effects of normal cells.

This study on spending and savings pattern of Overseas Filipino Families (OFWs) and their left behind families is an attempt to understand the social and economic context of Filipino migration. Specifically, the study hopes to describe where the hard-earned money of OFWs goes and on whether or not they are able to save. Patterns of spending and saving of their left behind families were also investigated. The study employed a mixed methods research approach particularly survey of 150 respondents composed of 75 OFWs and 75 left behind families. An in-depth interview of 15 left behind families and key informants’ interview of three officials of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) and Mindanao Migrants Center for Empowerment (MMCEAI) were also conducted to support findings of the survey. Significant findings of the study revealed that the top three spending items of OFWs include remittance to family back home, food and communication. The left behind families, on the other hand, spend the money they receive on education, food, utilities and transportation. The OFWs and their left behind families are able to save and invest. The study also found that some significant correlations exist between and among the following variables such as age, number of years working abroad, type of work, amount saved and amount of remittance. Major recommendations of the study include Financial Literacy and Investment training be given to OFWs and their families. The same trainings should be part of PDOS and Orientation modules given to OFWs and their families.

Authors: Ma. Victoria H. Alarte
Published: January 2023

The incorporation of community services about the need for a sustainable livelihood program was evaluated in this report. The four hundred (400) residents were taken as respondents, using full household enumeration. Most of the respondents in Rodriguez Rizal are purely uplifted and hailed, living a simple modern way of life brought about by industrialization in the region. However, considering the number of years they live in the area, they still have limited earnings due to limited educational qualifications. Most of the family's meager income is spent on their food. Therefore, poverty is always felt among them, so the need for a sustainable livelihood program that is important, productive, and beneficial is required to achieve a fulfilling and meaningful existence. The government provides limited economic and social infrastructure. The results demonstrate that there is a need for a program to enhance their living conditions. It is recommended that in partnership with the local government unit and the school, steps should be taken to improve the community's livelihood by expanding appropriate research-based community services. The following advice was proposed in response to the analysis carried out and from the data collected. A partnership between the Barangay Unit and the Local Government Unit is primarily via the Municipal Office for Social Welfare and Development and the Social Work and Community Development College. A Sitio Sapa Community mobilization operations such as capacity building enable them to be self-confident through the social security program. Through social growth, an extension program links the needs and resources of the Community to the residents of Sitio Sapa as part of the dual objective of the Conditional Cash Transfer being implemented in the region. Through investment in human resources (i.e., education, health, and nutrition), social development breaks the cycle of poverty. To address the capacities of the citizens in the region, a social welfare program will be planned.
Central Posterior Envelopes for Bayesian Functional Principal Component Analysis

Published: January 2023

Bayesian methods provide direct uncertainty quantification in functional data analysis applications without reliance on bootstrap techniques. A major tool in functional data applications is the functional principal component analysis which decomposes the data around a common mean function and identifies leading directions of variation. Bayesian functional principal components analysis (BFPCA) provides uncertainty quantification on the estimated functional model components via the posterior samples obtained. We propose central posterior envelopes (CPEs) for BFPCA based on functional depth as a descriptive visualization tool to summarize variation in the posterior samples of the estimated functional model components, contributing to uncertainty quantification in BFPCA. The proposed BFPCA relies on a latent factor model and targets model parameters within a hierarchical modeling framework using modified multiplicative gamma process shrinkage priors on the variance components. Functional depth provides a center-outward order to a sample of functions. We utilize modified band depth and modified volume depth for ordering of a sample of functions and surfaces, respectively, to derive at CPEs of the mean and eigenfunctions within the BFPCA framework. The proposed CPEs are showcased in extensive simulations. Finally, the proposed CPEs are applied to the analysis of a sample of power spectral densities from resting state electroencephalography where they lead to novel insights on diagnostic group differences among children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and their typically developing peers across age.
Circonstances de jeu et usages rythmiques d’une pratique et d’un répertoire éclatés : le cas du tambour malbar à la Réunion
Authors: Folio-Paravéman Stéphanie
Published: January 2023

Le tambourmalbar est un instrument qui, à La Réunion, est généralement considéré comme sacré de par son usage principalement réservé au sein des cérémonies religieuses hindoues. Mais depuis une trentaine d’années, cette tradition musicale indo-réunionnaise connaît une certaine expansion de sa pratique et de son répertoire. En effet, l’instrument peut tout aussi bien être utilisé au cours de rituels hindous que dans des circonstances qui s’émancipent du contexte initial strictement religieux.

Dans le cadre de cet article, trois espaces caractéristiques seront abordés en vue d’appréhender les différents ressorts d’une telle pluralité situationnelle : d’une part, le contexte hindou, c’est-à-dire l’espace religieux, sera abordé, pour ensuite investiguer d’autre part le contexte créole, plus précisément l’espace du spectacle avec l’exemple de la troupe « Les Tambours Sacrés de La Réunion » et celui du concert de maloya.

La fonction religieuse à laquelle le tambourmalbar est ordinairement rattaché conditionne en grande partie le caractère sacré de cet instrument ; d’après certains informateurs interrogés à ce sujet lors d’enquêtes de terrain menées à La Réunion depuis 2014, ce tambour est en effet non seulement sacré en lui-même, mais également par le rôle qu’il joue au sein du contexte musical rituel : celui de marquer la présence des divinités qui réagissent à son appel.

Dans le recueil des discours, il s’avère que les dires relatifs au sacré de l’objet s’élèvent à plusieurs niveaux. En effet, bien que les rythmes produits dans les divers contextes de jeu soient plus ou moins éloignés de ceux qui sont en usage dans la sphère religieuse, les modes de sécularisation du tambourmalbar divise les Réunionnais. Quel(s) sens et quelle(s) valeur(s) revêt le tambourmalbar lorsqu’il est utilisé dans l’une ou l’autre des situations observées ? Comment s’en trouve alors affecté le répertoire musical de cet instrument ? L’usage rythmique est-il réellement susceptible de caractériser une certaine circonstance de jeu ? Une fois analysées les spécificités propres aux trois espaces de jeu ci-dessus mentionnés, sera proposée une approche de ces situations musicales par l’étude d’une pratique et d’un répertoire éclatés susceptible de révéler les enjeux identitaires que suscite chacun des usages dont le tambour malbar fait aujourd’hui l’objet à La Réunion.
A striatal circuit balances learned fear in the presence and absence of sensory cues
Authors: Kintscher Michael , Kochubey Olexiy , Schneggenburger Ralf
Published: January 2023

During fear learning, defensive behaviors like freezing need to be finely balanced in the presence or absence of threat-predicting cues (conditioned stimulus, CS). Nevertheless, the circuits underlying such balancing are largely unknown. Here, we investigate the role of the ventral tail striatum (vTS) in auditory-cued fear learning of male mice. In vivo Ca2+ imaging showed that sizable sub-populations of direct (D1R+) and indirect pathway neurons (Adora+) in the vTS responded to footshocks, and to the initiation of movements after freezing; moreover, a sub-population of D1R+ neurons increased its responsiveness to an auditory CS during fear learning. In-vivo optogenetic silencing shows that footshock-driven activity of D1R+ neurons contributes to fear memory formation, whereas Adora+ neurons modulate freezing in the absence of a learned CS. Circuit tracing identified the posterior insular cortex (pInsCx) as an important cortical input to the vTS, and recording of optogenetically evoked EPSCs revealed long-term plasticity with opposite outcomes at the pInsCx synapses onto D1R+ - and Adora+ neurons. Thus, direct- and indirect pathways neurons of the vTS show differential signs of plasticity after fear learning, and balance defensive behaviors in the presence and absence of learned sensory cues.

Este artigo teve como objetivo verificar a atuação das macrofunções de Auditoria, Controladoria, Corregedoria e Ouvidoria das instituições de ensino superior (IES) públicas federais quanto ao atendimento às diretrizes de acessibilidade ao usuário, transparência, acesso à informação, fiscalização e controle na gestão dos recursos públicos, bem como a avaliação e apuração das manifestações da comunidade acadêmica. Para tal, foram avaliadas de forma qualitativa os dados de 63 universidades. Dentre os resultados, no que tange a estrutura organizacional formalizada, definição e divulgação clara de papéis, publicização de suas informações e independência em relação à Alta Administração, observou-se que as Auditorias Internas e Ouvidoria encontram-se, no momento, melhor estruturadas e com índice de implementação em estágio superior do que as Corregedorias e Controladorias. Evidencia-se também que não há ainda uma uniformidade do Sistema de Controle Interno com base na adoção dos aspectos de governança por parte dos elementos que compõem a sua estrutura. Como elemento limitador da pesquisa, destaca-se a ênfase apenas nas Universidades e, a aplicação em Institutos Federais pode levar a outras conclusões.

A realização deste estudo partiu do pressuposto de que existem diferenças na formação de salários no mercado agrícola brasileiro relacionadas às especificidades dos setores de produção de tradables e non tradables da agropecuária do Brasil. Foi utilizado a metodologia de decomposição salarial de Oaxaca-Blinder que permite medir a proporção do diferencial de salários, se ela existir, que é devida às características observáveis dos trabalhadores daquelas que são devidas às diferenças de características dos sistemas de produção. Foram utilizados dados de 2021 da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostras de Domicílios contínua - PNAD do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística – IBGE. Foi constatado que o salário que remunera o trabalho dos setores de produção de tradables é em média 30,64% mais elevado que o salário dos trabalhadores que exercem suas atividades nos setores de produção destinada ao abastecimento do mercado interno. Desta diferença 10,47% são explicadas por diferencias de produtividade relacionadas ao maior estoque de capital trabalho. A diferença de 20,17% se relaciona mais às especificidades do processo produtivo dos dois setores.

Background and Objectives: The etiopathogenesis of acquired pediatric cholesteatoma has not yet been fully clarified. Recent studies and modern technologies have led researchers to look for explanations at a molecular level. This study aims to understand if the origins of cholesteatoma could be related to dysfunctions in coagulation factors, thereby emphasizing its role in angiogenesis.Subjects and Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study carried out at a tertiary hospital center between January 2010 and December 2020. The study included 92 children. The variables of the summary coagulation study (partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, and international normalized ratio) were compared among children with and without development of chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma.Results: The cases and controls were comparable in terms of age, type, and number of times that ventilation tubes were placed. Partial thromboplastin times tended to be higher in children who developed cholesteatoma, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of normal and abnormal partial thromboplastin times (p=0.029).Conclusions: The results of this case control study indicate that slight extension of partial thromboplastin times in the coagulation study may not meet the criteria for diagnosis of certain hematological pathologies or clinical significance, but at a molecular level may already have implications for activation of angiogenesis and other growth factors involved in the onset, growth, and expansion of acquired pediatric cholesteatoma.

Understanding speech in the presence of noise is difficult and challenging, even for people with normal hearing. Accurate pitch perception, coding and decoding of temporal and intensity cues, and cognitive factors are involved in speech perception in noise (SPIN); disruption in any of these can be a barrier to SPIN. Because the physiological representations of sounds can be corrected by exercises, training methods for any impairment can be used to improve speech perception. This study describes the various types of bottom-up training methods: pitch training based on fundamental frequency (F0) and harmonics; spatial, temporal, and phoneme training; and top-down training methods, such as cognitive training of functional memory. This study also discusses music training that affects both bottom-up and top-down components and speech training in noise. Given the effectiveness of all these training methods, we recommend identifying the defects underlying SPIN disorders and selecting the best training approach.

Background and Objectives: Tinnitus, or ear ringing, involves impulsive and spontaneous activity in the auditory neurons. Its prevalence is high in the elderly, but 10%–15% of adults suffer from tinnitus, affecting their quality of life. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Ginkgo biloba administered singly and in combination with antioxidants in tinnitus patients.Subjects and Methods: Patients were randomly allocated to Placebo (T0, n=22), Treatment 1 (T1, n=24), and Treatment 2 (T2, n=23) groups. The patients were educated on the study’s methodology and were instructed to visit at 0, 4, 8, 12, and 14 weeks. The placebo group received starch capsule supplements. Conversely, the treatment groups received Ginkgo biloba (60 mg twice a day) singly and in combination with antioxidants. We enrolled 69 patients aged 40–70 years (41 men, 28 women). The Tinnitus Handicap Index (THI), Visual Analogue Score (VAS), and Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Scores were determined pre- and post-treatment at each visit.Results: Supplementation of Ginkgo biloba, along with antioxidants, provided marked improvement (p<0.05) in post-treatment THI and VAS scores in the T2 group compared to those in the T1 and T0 groups. The greatest (p<0.05) percent difference was observed in the pre- and post-treatment THI (-36%) and VAS scores (-22.6%) of T2 patients. Likewise, the SF-36 scores improved significantly (p<0.05) in the T2 group in varied parameters.Conclusions: Ginkgo biloba, along with antioxidants, can be a promising therapy for tinnitus patients, providing marked improvement in THI, VAS, and SF-36 scores.

A kiadvány a főbb mezőgazdasági ágazatok költség-és jövedelemhelyzetét vizsgálja 2013–2015-re vonatko­zóan a magyarországi tesztüzemi rendszerhez tartozó gazdaságok adatai alapján. A feldolgozott adatok a hazai termék-előállítást jellemző, ún. meghatározó árutermelő gazdaságokra vonatkoznak. A kiadvány az átlagos érté­kek mellett tartalmazza az átlagtól eltérő szinten gaz­dálkodó csoportok eredményeit is. Az évente megjelenő kiadványsorozat külön fejezetben elemzi a szántóföldi növényeknél, a kertészeti kultúrákban (szántóföldi zöld­ségek és gyümölcsültetvények) és az állattenyésztési ágazatokban bekövetkező költség- és jövedelemválto­zásokat. A vizsgált időszakra az ágazatok többségének szempontjából kedvező időjárási körülmények voltak jellemzőek. Gyakori volt, hogy vagy a 2014-es vagy a 2015-ös év rekordtermést hozott. Mivel a ráfordítások mennyiségének alakulása nem volt egyforma a bemu­tatott ágazatoknál, az önköltségek igen változatosan alakultak, a kertészeti ágazatoknál igen jelentős ingado­zások is előfordultak az évek között. A támogatásoknak köszönhetően az egy hektárra jutó ágazati eredmény valamennyi kultúráknál pozitív volt. E mutató tenden­ciái az állattartó ágazatoknál eltérően alakultak, az azonban kiemelendő, hogy a sertéshizlalás ágazati ered­ménye folyamatosan romlott, a csirkehizlalásé pedig folyamatosan nőtt a megfigyelt periódusban.
