Authors: Kamboh Aamir Zamir , Mehmood Ahsan
Published: December 2023

Although there is supposed to be tremendous growth potential for paying for app obtaining besides the mobile game industry, there is slight understanding of what drives game thespians to make such acquisitions. The model was tested using a questioner to gather data for the Pakistan game societies. Using free edition of the paid mobile app, 310 replied with data collection. Multiple regressions were used for study model evaluation. The results show that satisfaction with mobile games substantially affects a player's intention to make paid games to buy. The supposed spirited values (regularity, flow, touch, and accomplishment) have a significant effect on all players' enjoyment but fail to have a significant impact on the buying intent. Satisfaction has been found to have a partial effect on a performer's intent to pay app. Moderating effect of the negative results on the willingness to purchase pay apps from high price. Our study revealed higher purchase prices which decreased customer satisfaction. This study gives a deeper understanding of how values promote enjoyment among all players in the game, and paying players' buying intentions. We also have further insight into marketing campaigns for mobile game applications.

The present study uses quantitative approach to empirically verify the impact of crisis situation awareness on organizational performance. The research uses tourism sector as unit of analysis. Survey questionnaire were distributed among the Owners, Operation Managers, Finance Managers, and the Administrators.

Findings:

Incharge of various travel and tourism companies and partial least square path modelling was used to draw meaningful conclusions. Results suggested that organizations which are more aware are in a better position to enhance their performance even in the times of crisis.

Conclusion:

The study concludes by suggesting that in the tourism industry as the majority of the organizations or stakeholders are SME’s hence combining or bringing all resources to one platform and planning for any challenge can enable them to perform at optimal level. Researcher recommends that there are areas are also available to conduct further research on learning from failures as early events in Pakistan like attack on tourists in Fairy Meadows area and learning how to avoid and minimize damages from such uncontrollable events.
Analysis of similarities in respiratory tract genomes: an approach using the Hurst exponent and the non-decimated discrete wavelet transform
Authors: Ernesto Dulcídia Carlos Guezimane , Ferreira Leila Maria , Sáfadi Thelma
Published: December 2023

The implementation of statistical methods that can make the similarity study process more efficient has been very common in current research, because some methods such as wavelets make the processing of data manipulation faster and with the ability to process thousands of nucleotides in a genomic sequencing, and consequently better estimates are obtained. Thus, this work aimed to analyze some genomes of the Coronaviridae family and the Paramyxoviridae family, looking for similarities through signal decomposition considering the non-decimated discrete wavelet transform techniques. The entire genome sequences of the families were initially extracted from the NCBI website and then pattern analysis was performed using a signal processing method, based on the GC content. For each GC sequence, decomposition was performed using the six-level discrete non-decimated Daubechies wavelet transform. Then, the Hurst exponent was calculated for each level of decomposition and the sequences were verified with similar patterns. After the cluster analysis, it was possible to obtain that the pair Bet1 and MERS proved to be similar in almost all methods, the other pair of sequences that proved to be similar by the absolute moments methods and by the aggregated variance method was the pair Gamma1 and Del, the group composed of Influ1, Influ4, Influ3 and Hendra was similar by the absolute moments methods, aggregated variance, and in the R/S analysis method, there was a substitution of Influ4 by Influ5. At the end of the study, it was possible to conclude that the non-decimated discrete wavelet transform allowed us to decompose each one of the sequences and, consequently, a more detailed study of similarity can be carried out, and it was possible to obtain, by some methods, strains of Coronaviridae that do not resemble the strains of Paramyxoviridae.

This article seeks to analyze the public policies implemented by the Government of the Federal District (GDF), aimed at the homeless population. Despite the recognition of the fundamental nature of social rights by the 1988 Federal Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, such acts still need concrete measures to materialize their provisions. To carry it out, the descriptive research method and secondary data obtained by the Federal District Planning Company (CODEPLAN) in 2022 were used, which outlined the profile of the homeless population in the Federal District. The difficulty in implementing public policies in the Federal District is also reported. The research showed that the coronavirus pandemic contributed to the increase in the homeless population and that unemployment was identified as the main cause. These people are looking for an alternative to obtain income and have become victims of urban and police violence and social discrimination.

COSTRUIRE E ANALIZZARE UN CORPUS DI INTERLINGUA ALL’INTERNO DI UN CORSO DI ITALIANO LS A STUDENTI SINOFONI: UN MODELLO TRA RICERCA E DIDATTICA
Authors: Leto Fabrizio
Published: December 2023

Questo contributo propone una metodologia per la costruzione di un corpus di interlingua nell’ambito di un percorso di apprendimento guidato dell’italiano rivolto a studenti sinofoni in contesto LS. Il metodo descritto si avvale sia di modelli di ricerca e di analisi elaborati nel campo della linguistica acquisizionale, sia di metodi glottodidattici utili anche nella raccolta di campioni di interlingua. La prima parte del contributo è dedicata all’inquadramento teorico degli strumenti utilizzati, ovvero gli studi sulle sequenze acquisizionali del verbo in italiano e il metodo didattico Task-Based Learning and Teaching; il quadro teorico si conclude con un’analisi sulle implicazioni didattiche delle sequenze acquisizionali. Nella seconda parte viene dettagliatamente illustrata la metodologia di raccolta dei dati, dalla struttura del corso ai task utilizzati. I dati raccolti sono commentati sia in funzione didattica (ad esempio per orientare la scelta degli argomenti delle lezioni) sia in funzione di ricerca, attraverso il confronto tra i dati in ingresso e quelli in uscita. Si propone infine l’ipotesi, supportata dai dati del corpus, dell’influenza di alcuni particolari nuclei informativi nell’espressione della morfologia verbale.

  

Constructing and analysing an interlanguage corpus within an Italian ls course for synophonic students: a model between research and teaching

 

This paper presents a methodology for the construction of an interlanguage corpus within a guided learning pathway of Italian directed at Sinophone students in an L2 context. The described method leverages both research and analysis models formulated in the realm of acquisition linguistics, as well as glottodidactic methods useful in the collection of interlanguage samples. The first section of the paper is devoted to the theoretical framing of the tools employed, namely studies on the acquisitional sequences of verbs in Italian and the Task-Based Learning and Teaching pedagogical approach. This theoretical framework culminates with an analysis of the didactic implications of these acquisitional sequences. The subsequent section elaborately presents the data collection methodology, from the course structure to the tasks employed. The collected data is discussed both from a pedagogical standpoint (for instance to guide the choice of lesson topics) and from a research perspective, comparing initial and final data. The paper concludes with the hypothesis, substantiated by the corpus data, of the influence of certain specific information cores on the expression of verbal morphology.
METODO GLOTTODIDATTICO E NUOVI CONTESTI TECNOLOGICI. NOTE TEORICHE E PERCEZIONE DI UN CAMPIONE DI INSEGNANTI DI LINGUE
Authors: Martari Yahis
Published: December 2023

A partire da una riflessione generale su alcuni problemi metodologici nella ricerca e nell’azione glottodidattica, il presente contributo focalizza la percezione degli insegnanti di lingue rispetto al rapporto tra metodo e tecnologia digitale nell’insegnamento linguistico. Proponiamo, quindi, i risultati di una survey research intorno a questa domanda di ricerca: nella percezione degli insegnanti, il metodo glottodidattico quanto è influenzato dalle tecnologie digitali? Dai dati raccolti sondando la percezione di 328 insegnanti di lingua bilanciato in base a età e contesti di insegnamento, emerge, schematicamente, una prevalenza netta di giudizi positivi verso le tecnologie digitali, una certa focalizzazione sul ruolo delle potenzialità multimodali e ludiche di tali tecnologie, la loro importanza per accessibilità, interattività, motivazione degli studenti e soprattutto la percezione di una valenza metodologica delle tecnologie digitali.

 

Glottodidactic method and new technological contexts. Theoretical notes and perceptions of a sample of language teachers

 

Starting from a general discussion of some methodological problems in language teaching research and teaching practice, this paper focuses on how language teachers perceive the relationship betweenlanguage teaching method and digital technology. Therefore we propose the results of a survey research: In teachers’ perceptions, how much is the teaching method influenced by digital technologies? From the data collected by surveying the perceptions of 328 language teachers balanced according to age and teaching contexts, it emerges a clear preponderance of positive judgements towards digital technologies, a certain focus on the role of the multimodal and playful potential of these technologies, their importance for accessibility, interactivity, student motivation and above all the perception of a methodological value of digital technologies.
VERSO LA SCOPERTA GUIDATA: CONGIUNZIONI E AVVERBI ANAFORICI, COORDINAZIONE E GIUSTAPPOSIZIONE
Authors: Bellato Anna , Sartori Marta
Published: December 2023

Una sfida interessante nel campo della didattica è senza dubbio mettere alla prova gli apporti teorici della riflessione linguistica attraverso la sperimentazione sul campo, ovvero in classe. È quanto è stato fatto in due classi seconde di una scuola secondaria di primo grado di Vicenza e in una classe terza di una secondaria di primo grado di Padova: alle alunne e agli alunni che partecipavano alla sperimentazione sono stati sottoposti esercizi e materiale didattico per distinguere congiunzioni da avverbi anaforici e coordinazione da giustapposizione. I risultati sono stati estremamente interessanti: sono emerse la capacità di distinguere i fenomeni nonostante le grammatiche tradizionali in uso, la volontà di mettere in discussione regole acquisite e la possibilità di portare all’interno della scuola, attraverso la pratica, le innovazioni proposte dagli studi accademici.

 

Towards guided discovery: anaphoric conjunctions and adverbs, coordination and juxtaposition

 

An interesting challenge in the field of didactics is undoubtedly to test the theoretical contributions of linguistic reflection through field applications, i.e. in the classroom. This is what was done in two classes attending the second year at a secondary school in Vicenza and in a class of the third year at a secondary school in Padua: the pupils participating in the experimentation were given exercises and teaching material to distinguish conjunctions from anaphoric adverbs and coordination from juxtaposition. The results were extremely interesting, showing the ability to distinguish phenomena in spite of the traditional grammars in use, the willingness to question acquired rules and the possibility of bringing the innovations proposed by academic studies into school practice.

Published: December 2023

Il contesto europeo e italiano appaiono ben dotati di documenti e strumenti per l’educazione plurilingue che tuttavia faticano a entrare stabilmente nell’attività didattica curriculare. La proposta qui illustrata sostiene il convincimento che azioni trasformative efficaci di formazione glottodidattica possano risultare dal coinvolgimento dei docenti come soggetti co-partecipanti ad azioni di progettazione ed intervento didattico, in uno stretto contatto fra teoria e prassi. Il contributo presenta i principi teorico-metodologici e l’impianto progettuale di un’azione pilota condotta nell’ambito del progetto europeo NEW ABC (Networking the Educational World: Across Boundaries for Community-building). Si tratta di un intervento  di ricerca-azione, che è stato inteso al tempo stesso come insieme integrato di proposte didattiche e come complessiva proposta formativa rivolta agli insegnanti. Il contributo illustra le diverse fasi di analisi del contesto, ricognizione e osservazione partecipata delle pratiche in uso, momenti di co-costruzione didattica, focalizzandosi in particolare su due proposte formative realizzate nei due contesti di intervento (Istituti Comprensivi di Torino e della provincia di Forlì-Cesena).

L’intervento nel suo complesso si propone quindi come una concreta applicazione della metodologia PAR (participatory action research) nell’ambito dei contesti educativi, e più in particolare dell’educazione plurilingue.

 

For plural language education: teacher training in a co-participative design perspective

 

The European and Italian context appear to be well endowed with documents and tools for plurilingual education which, however, seems to struggle to enter permanently into the curricular teaching activities. This contribution supports the belief that effective transformative actions of language teaching can result from the involvement of teachers as co-participants in planning actions and teaching intervention, in close contact between theory and practice. We present the theoretical-methodological principles and the design framework of a pilot action carried out within the European project NEW ABC (Networking the Educational World: Across Boundaries for Community-building). It is a research-action, intended, at the same time, as an integrated set of teaching proposals and as an overall teacher training action. We illustrate the different phases of context analysis, recognition and participatory observation of the practices in use, co-construction of activities, focusing in particular on two proposals implemented in two “Istituti Comprensivi”, in Turin and in the province of Forlì-Cesena. The intervention as a whole is therefore proposed as a concrete application of the PAR (Participatory Action Research) methodology to educational contexts, and more specifically to plurilingual education.

According to the findings, inhabitants of the Indragiri Hilir region have a strong understanding of the procedures involved in applying for loans online if their income is at least comparable to the average pay. This is the case regardless of whether or not they live in the region. People who earn less than their drinking wages have a low level of understanding, but those who earn more than their drinking wages have a very high level of knowledge. Those people who make more than their drinking wages are able to understand more. According to these findings, respondents who identify as either single or married have a grasp of online loans that is, on average, superior to that of other respondents. This holds true for both of the categories that were previously discussed. The respondents' decision to utilise this online loan application was most influenced by the fact that it was convenient to borrow money without having to offer a guarantee; however, providing financial support to members of the borrower's family was only a secondary factor in the decision to utilise this online loan application.

A Semiotic Study of Contemporary Middle Eastern Internal Dilemmas in Arab News Cartoons
Authors: Hameed Ansa , Alsager Haroon N.
Published: December 2023

Many parts of the Middle Eastern region have a history of persistent and long-term crises. The media, and particularly the news media, endeavors to highlight these issues in various forms. One established format among them is caricatures, or cartoonish representations, which retain a visually captivating quality for the intended audience. Undeniably, cartoons depict the bitter realities in candid yet convincing forms. In this regard, the present study aims to analyze the Arab News cartoons that depict the internal predicaments faced by the selected Middle Eastern countries. The primary objective of this study is to examine the intricate relationship between semiotics and socio-political intricacies in the selected regions. This study employs Barthes’ semiotic lens theory to investigate the methods employed by the cartoonist in conveying messages, creating narratives, and interacting with the socio-political environment. The results reveal that the caricatured representations effectually depict several underlying causes and conflicts that fuel the internal chaotic situation inside the region, using signs, symbols, and pictorial rhetoric. These findings help in understanding the essence of the challenges faced by the chosen Middle Eastern nations quite meritoriously. At the same time, the results endorse cartoons as an authentic medium for discussing such harsh realities.

The article is of the conceptual epilogue, which provides a concise elucidation by delineating distinct sets of correlations. It examines the gender dichotomy, obscured self, and Marginalization of the selected characters in the reinterpreted works of Mahabharata. "Queer is an umbrella term for those individuals who are not only deemed sexually deviant but are made to feel marginalised due to standard social practices. It is a site of permanent becoming" (Giffney, 2004, p. 67). This study draws upon the post-modernist technique of reinterpretation to examine and reflect upon stereotypes, authority, and sexist values in Queer perspective. It also aims to challenge and mitigate gender distinctions, emotional perception, and the facilitation of women's thoughts and understanding. By giving voice to marginalised characters, the authors explore their ongoing struggle with the complexities of sex and gender, the rigidity between personal desires and societal obligations, and the intricate interplay between individual and collective truths. In doing so, they present a myriad of potential subjectivities and imaginative possibilities that shed light on contemporary issues surrounding Identity and self-perception.

Published: December 2023

The use of reading strategies plays an integral part in the reading comprehension level of students. However, English as a Second Language (ESL) learners are unaware of the impact of reading strategies on their reading comprehension level. Moreover, teachers also lack a solid foundation for teaching reading strategies to students and are unable to understand the reading strategies preferences of the students. Only a few studies have been conducted highlighting the significance of reading strategies on students’ comprehension levels, especially in the context of Maldivian secondary schools. The main objective of this study is to identify the use of reading strategies to improve the reading comprehension level of ESL learners in secondary school. This research employed an experimental design. A total of 118 students from grades 9 and 10 from a secondary school participated in the study. Two instruments were utilized to collect data: a questionnaire, a pre-test, and a post-test. Statistical analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between reading strategies and comprehension achievement. Moreover, a significant difference in strategy use was found between male and female students. Recommendations include implementing school-wide reading programs, using think-aloud technique to model strategies, and consistent teacher training in Maldives as well as monitoring of students' reading strategies to improve comprehension and learning opportunities.
What do Māori educators want Pākehā outreach teachers to know when working with tamariki Māori on the autism spectrum with high, complex needs?
Authors: Noakes-Duncan Catherine
Published: December 2023

This research paper asks what Māori educators want Pākehā outreach teachers to know when working with tamariki Māori on the autism spectrum with high, complex needs. A review of the literature noted a shortage of specialists who can speak te reo Māori and practice in a culturally responsive way. Three Māori educators participated in semi-structured interviews as part of this qualitative research, addressing what Pākehā outreach teachers need to know to be culturally responsive to Māori. The following themes emerged: Māori environments are relationally inclusive and involve whānau; outreach teachers should respect te reo and tikanga; and outreach teachers should practice with humility as part of a team. These themes emerge within the context of a chronic shortage of Māori specialists. Most of the specialists working with tamariki Māori are non-Māori. In order to meet their needs Pākehā outreach teachers need to be able to work with tamariki Māori and their whānau in a culturally responsive way. Understanding cultural hegemony and its impact on education is an area in need of further discussion if outreach teachers are to understand the concept of humility and its importance for Māori.

Carbon neutral urban block in Athens—2050
Authors: Maragkaki Marilena , Rajput Kartikeya
Published: December 2023

Athens’ extensive urbanisation, lack of green areas and the extreme heat caused by increasingly frequent heat waves indicate the need for actions improving indoor and outdoor comfort, which is closely related to the energy consumption of the buildings. This work’s aim is to create a carbon neutral block in Athens on the 2050 horizon. The optimization of the block’s form based on principles of environmental design and climatic analysis was performed to enhance its environmental benefits. Simulations on the energy performance of the block and calculations on the ability to cover the energy loads by renewables were conducted. Finally, to meet the zero-carbon neutrality, a connection with the neighbouring blocks was established. The results demonstrate the benefits of a bioclimatic, carbon neutral building design in Athens and provide a practical prototype, which can be adapted in other projects, thereby enabling the shift to a more efficient and environmentally friendly built environment.
