ENHANCING LEARNERS’ SATISFACTION TO IMPROVE RETENTION IN ONLINE CLASSES: CURRENT PRACTICES AT A CENTER OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN VIETNAM
Authors: Hung Luu Nguyen Quoc
Published: September 2021

Online learning has experienced rapid growth recently, particularly due to many schools’ closures because of the Covid-19 pandemic. As online learning is growing, institutions have become more interested in knowing what factors influence learners’ satisfaction in online learning environments. This becomes more important for them when the results of studies show lower retention in online courses than in face-to-face traditional courses. Although there is surprisingly little research empirically linking student satisfaction to retention, it is generally believed that there is indeed a positive relationship between the two. The current study was undertaken with 164 online learners at a center of foreign languages in Vietnam. An online survey was administered to assess the participants’ level of satisfaction with their online learning through the four main areas or groups of factors such as course content, teachers, online learning facilities and online learning support. The results revealed that the four groups are significantly associated with learners’ overall satisfaction with online learning, and there is positive retention rate during the program.

Authors: Sefah Elizabeth Adoma , Amoah Samuel Obed , Acheampong Henry Yaw , Britwum Francis
Published: September 2021

The purpose of the study was to examine demographic characteristics of tutors on the integration of information and communication technology in teaching and learning in the Colleges of Education in Ghana. The descriptive survey design was used to conduct the study. The purposive sampling technique was used in the selection process. The sample size was 120 tutors. Independent sample t-test and One-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that there is a significant difference between male and female tutors in their use of ICTs in teaching and learning in the public Colleges of Education in Ghana. The findings revealed that there is no significant difference between tutors with different age and their integration of ICT in teaching and learning. The findings again, indicated that there is no significant difference between the level of academic qualification and the use of ICTs among tutors. The results revealed that there is a significant difference between the use of ICTs among tutors based on their teaching experience. The study recommended that female tutors who could not effectively integrate ICT into the teaching and learning should be identified and supported to integrate ICT into the teaching of the subject. The study recommended that appropriate pedagogical models suitable for the integration of ICTs in teaching and learning should be developed by curriculum designers to assist tutors in their urge to employ them in the teaching and learning process. The study again, recommended that management of the public Colleges of Education in Ghana should seek sponsorship from internet service providers in Ghana to provide free or affordable and reliable internet connectivity in the colleges to facilitate effective use of ICTs in the teaching and learning in the Colleges of Education.

Authors: Hazari Chandra Sankar , Chanda Shaybal , Mondal Sumanta Kumar
Published: September 2021

Speed is one of the vital motor abilities that need to start the developmental process at the early ages of the players. The study aims to identify the progression of progressive speed training basis on the duration of training of the Santali tribe and Bengali teen boys. Subjects were Santali tribe and Bengali adolescent schoolboys and their ages ranged between 13 to 15 years selected from Bankura District of West Bengal, India. These two groups were further divided into control and experimental groups and in each of the groups, there were 20 students. Initially, 4 weeks of uniform conditioning trainings were given to all groups before the pretest T1 was conducted. Further, consecutively 3 more post-tests were conducted every 4 weeks after providing progressive speed training. For the comparison, MANOVA, ANOVA, and LSD post hock test were employed and the Mean value was seen in the descriptive part. The result of the study reveals that Non-tribal (Bengali) and Tribal (Santali) adolescent schoolboys responded positively with the designed progressive speed training. This progression of tests timing took place progressively over time on the Bengali and Santali boys almost similarly. Though the Santali boys took the upper hand over Bengali boys numerically at the final stage of progression in the timing of the speed test, on the contrary in the first two post-tests, T2 & T3 progression took place almost in the same fashion. It is concluded that alike progressive speed training is almost equally effective for Santali tribe and Bengali adolescent boys for the development of sprinting ability.

“Alegra-te, estéril, que não dás à luz” (Gl 4,27bc)
Authors: Siqueira Fabio da Silveira
Published: September 2021

A presença dos judaizantes na Galácia provoca uma profunda perturbação naqueles que foram, outrora, evangelizados pelo apóstolo Paulo. Para restabelecer a paz entre os Gálatas e torná-los conscientes do verdadeiro sentido da liberdade cristã, Paulo lhes escreve uma epístola onde, na perícope de Gl 4,21-31, desenvolve uma argumentação baseada em releituras do Gênesis e de Is 54,1 com o intuito de demonstrar que os Gálatas são os verdadeiros “filhos da promessa”, que foram libertos por Cristo do jugo da Lei. Este artigo pretende analisar, em primeiro lugar, a perícope de Gl 4,21-31 em seu conjunto, com o intuito de compreender o uso que Paulo faz de Is 54,1 em Gl 4,27. Num segundo momento, depois de refletir brevemente sobre o modo como Paulo costuma utilizar-se das tradições veterotestamentárias em seus escritos, chega-se ao ponto central do artigo: o sentido que a citação de Is 54,1 adquire em Gl 4,27. Diferentemente da ideia presente nas tradições apocalípticas de sua época (4Esd; 1Hen), Paulo não imagina uma Jerusalém futura que substituirá a Jerusalém de agora, mas vê que essa substituição já foi operada pelo sacrifício de Cristo, que abriu aos crentes as portas da verdadeira Jerusalém, a do alto, livre e “nossa mãe” (Gl 4,26).
1 Reis 17,7-16

Published: September 2021

O presente trabalho, que versa sobre o texto de 1Rs 17,7-16, tem por objetivo verificar a relação existente entre o milagre aí narrado, a palavra de Deus e a subsistência dos personagens que recebem alimento num momento de carestia. Para tanto, seguindo etapas do Método Histórico-Crítico, de início localizará a perícope em seu contexto imediato, analisará sua coerência interna e o modo como está organizada. Atenção particular exigirá ainda o estudo do gênero literário na narrativa. Enfim, deter-se-á na leitura minuciosa do relato, procurando verificar as conexões entre os três eixos acima mencionados. Conclui-se que o ponto fulcral da perícope está na afirmação do poder de YHWH sobre a natureza e a proteção que ele oferece ao seu profeta e àqueles que o acolhem. Por outro lado, o texto sublinha o tema da obediência à palavra divina. Tudo isso serve para afirmar que YHWH é vida e realiza vida dentro e fora de Israel.

Memoria de trabajo y control inhibitorio en beisbolistas universitarios (Working Memory and Inhibitory Control in College Baseball Players)
Authors: Gómez Rosales Alan De Jesús , Morquecho Mendez Angel Alejandro , Cuenca Luis Tomás Rodenas
Published: September 2021

El rendimiento óptimo en el deporte requiere de procesos neuropsicológicos como las funciones ejecutivas. Entre estas, están la memoria de trabajo (MT) y el control inhibitorio (CI). Se ha descrito que quienes practican deportes de ritmo propio como el béisbol obtienen puntajes ubicados en el rango alto en tareas correspondientes a la MT y el IC, así como que los bateadores suelen obtener puntajes más altos en tareas de control inhibitorio en comparación con quienes no batean y atletas de otros deportes. Este estudio evalúa las diferencias en el rendimiento en tareas de IC y MT de beisbolistas universitarios y su relación con el tiempo practicando este deporte. Treinta y dos jugadores pertenecientes a un selectivo de béisbol universitario fueron evaluados por medio de subpruebas pertenecientes a la Batería BANFE-2. Los resultados muestran puntajes correspondientes al rango alto en las tareas correspondientes a la MT y el IC para todos los participantes. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en los puntajes de IC entre los bateadores y los lanzadores (p < .01). En las tareas de MT las diferencias no fueron significativas (p < .5). Los resultados obtenidos apoyan la hipótesis de que los bateadores obtienen puntajes más altos que en IC que quienes no batean y que los beisbolistas en general tienen un desempeño alto en capacidades como el IC y la MT por lo que se puede inferir que las exigencias del béisbol son un factor importante en el desarrollo de procesos como los abordados en este estudio.
Abstract. Optimal performance in sport requires neuropsychological processes such as executive functions. Among these are working memory (WM) and inhibitory control (IC). It has been described that those who practice self-paced sports such as baseball obtain scores located in the high range in tasks corresponding to the WM and IC, as well as batters tend to obtain higher scores in tasks of inhibitory control compared to those who do not hit and athletes from other sports. This study evaluates the differences in the performance of university baseball players in IC and WM tasks and their relationship with the time practicing this sport. Thirty-two players belonging to a university baseball team were evaluated by means of subtests belonging to Battery BANFE-2. The results show scores corresponding to the high range in the tasks corresponding to the WM and the IC for all participants. Significant differences were found in CI scores between hitters and pitched (p <.01). In the TM tasks the differences were not significant (p <.5). The results obtained support the hypothesis that hitters obtain higher scores than in IC than non-hitters and that baseball players in general have a high performance in capacities such as IC and WM, so it can be inferred that the demands of baseball they are an important factor in the development of processes such as those addressed in this study.

El propósito de este artículo es analizar la terminología relacionada con la motricidad humana, al objeto de proponer el neologismo de neuromotricidad como concepto del siglo XXI, que se diferencie conceptualmente de otros términos similares, como motricidad o psicomotricidad. Los avances en el estudio del cerebro y su relación con el movimiento, nos empuja a la creación de un área especial dentro de la Ciencia de la motricidad humana, con planteamientos metodológicas innovadores. El método BAPNE (Romero, 2004) se postula como una posibilidad para optimizar el rendimiento del cerebro en el ámbito de la motricidad humana. Así mismo, aportamos una pirámide explicativa que muestra gráficamente la jerarquía terminológica dentro del ámbito de la motricidad, tanto a nivel teórico como práctico.
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyse the terminology related to human motor skills in order to propose the neologism of neuromotor skills (Neuromotricity) as a concept for the 21st century, which is conceptually different from other similar terms such as motor skills or psychomotor skills. Advances in the study of the brain and its relationship with movement have led to the creation of a special area within the science of human motor skills, with innovative methodological approaches. The BAPNE method (Romero, 2004) is postulated as a possibility to optimise the performance of the brain in the field of human motor skills. We also provide an explanatory pyramid that graphically shows the terminological hierarchy within the field of motor skills, both on a theoretical and practical level.

El estilo de comunicación del entrenador como predictor de la carga de trabajo percibida en jóvenes futbolistas (Coach communication style as a predictor of perceived workload in young football players)
Authors: Silva Flores Roberto , Mas Riera Jaume , Garcia-Mas Alexandre
Published: September 2021

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue conocer las implicaciones del estilo comunicativo del entrenador durante la realización de la actividad en la carga de trabajo percibida por jugadores jóvenes de fútbol. En el estudio participaron dos equipos de la categoría cadete, siendo un total de 32 jugadores (M = 15.19; SD = 0.39), y sus dos respectivos entrenadores. La recogida de datos tuvo lugar en dos entrenamientos diferentes, con un intervalo de una semana entre cada actividad. La carga de trabajo se midió mediante el NASA-TLX adaptado a la herramienta de Google Forms que los jugadores contestaron después de la actividad. Para analizar la comunicación del entrenador se utilizó la grabación en video y audio de la actividad para un posterior análisis a través de una adaptación del CBAS. Aunque los entrenadores presentan dos estilos comunicativos distintos, los resultados no muestran una diferencia significativa entre los dos equipos en la carga de trabajo percibida. Sin embargo, el estilo comunicativo directivo presenta una tendencia a una mayor exigencia mental, una mayor frustración y un menor rendimiento percibido. 
Abstract. The aim of this study was to know the implications of the coach's communicative style during the performance of the activity on the workload perceived by young soccer players. Two teams from the cadet category participated in the study, with a total of 32 players (M = 15.19; SD = 0.39), and their two respective coaches. Data collection took place in two different workouts, with an interval of one week between each activity. The workload was measured using the NASA-TLX adapted to the Google Forms tool that the players answered after the activity. Regarding the analysis of the coach's communication, video and audio recording of the activity was used for subsequent analysis through an adaptation of CBAS. Although the coaches have two different communication styles, the results don’t show a significant difference between the two teams in perceived workload. However, the managerial communication style presents a trend towards greater mental demand, greater frustration and lower performance perceived.

Authors: Durán Álvaro , Martínez-Gallego Rafael , Gimeno Marc
Published: September 2021

El objetivo de este estudio fue medir las velocidades de aproximación a los cambios de dirección (CDD), tras desplazamientos de más de 4 metros, entre hombres y mujeres en el fondo de la pista durante partidos de tenis de élite. Se seleccionó un partido de cada uno de los 5 mejores tenistas masculinos y femeninos del ranking ATP y WTA. Y, de cada partido, 15 CDD. Sobre cada CDD, se aplicó un sistema de seguimiento automático mediante videoanálisis basado en tres puntos corporales (cabeza, tronco y cadera). Se encontraron mayores velocidades en hombres en todos los momentos analizados a partir del penúltimo apoyo (PEN) antes del CDD. También se encontraron diferencias entre ambos sexos en las velocidades parciales durante los pasos previos al CDD. Durante aproximación al CDD, la velocidad de los hombres a partir del antepenúltimo apoyo (ANT) antes del CDD fue aumentada en el PEN y disminuyó en el último apoyo (ULT) antes del CDD, mientras que las mujeres, disminuyeron progresivamente su velocidad a partir del ANT. En conclusión, existen diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en la aproximación a un cambio de dirección, y por tanto en la preparación de golpeos. Por lo tanto, la información proporcionada en este estudio es de vital importancia para el planteamiento de entrenamientos. 
Abstract. The objective of this study was to measure and compare between genders, speeds of approach to the changes of direction (CDD), after displacements of more than 4 meters in the bottom of the court present in elite tennis. 15 CDDs were selected during a match, from each of the top 5 male and female tennis players in the ATP and WTA rankings. On them, an automatic monitoring system was applied by video analysis based on three body points (head, trunk and hip). Higher velocity values were found for men at all moments analyzed from the penultimate step (PEN) before CDD, as well as substantial differences between both genders in partial velocities during steps prior to CDD. During approach to the CDD, the speed of men from the third to last step before the CDD (ANT) was increased in the PEN and decreased in the last step before the CDD (ULT), while the women progressively decreased their speed from of the ANT. In conclusion, there are many differences between men and women when approaching a change of direction, and therefore in the preparation of blows. Therefore, the information provided in this study is of vital importance for the training approach by coaches and physical trainers.

Frequency and Treatment Outcomes of Isolated Ventricular Hemorrhage
Cases Among Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage Patients
Authors: Dr. Md. Rashidoon Nabi Khan
Published: September 2021

Background: Bleeding into the ventricular system of brain is called intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). It may be associated with brain parenchyma. Cases of isolated ventricular hemorrhages are found less. Ventricular hemorrhage due to trauma is more commonly seen in premature babies and infants than adults. Uncertainty in recovery is a important issue for such cases. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency and the treatment outcomes of isolated ventricular hemorrhage cases among patients with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Methods: This prospective observational study was directed in the neurosurgery department of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College, Sylhet, Bangladesh from January 2015 to December 2020. In total 890 Admitted diagnosed cases of traumatic intracranial hemorrhage were chosen for this study as study population. Ultrasonography CT scan, MRI of the brain, MRA, MRV, and CSF were performed according to the patient’s status. Those were collected, processed, analyzed, and disseminated by using MS office and SPSS version 23 as per need. Results: According to this study, in total participants, the highest number was with parenchymal hemorrhage which was 34% (n=302). Besides these, cases with extradural hemorrhage were 33% (n=298), cases with subdural hemorrhage were 17% (n=149%), cases with subarachnoid hemorrhage were 14% (n=124) and cases with isolated ventricular hemorrhage (IVH) were 2% (n=17). So, in this study, the frequency of IVH was found only 2% among all types of traumatic intracranial hemorrhage cases. Among a total of 17 IVH patients, most of the cases were infants or baby which was 59%. And 41% of the IVH patients were adults. In analyzing the outcomes among the IVH patients we observed, early recovery was found in 1 child (5.88%) and in 2 adults (11.76%). Besides these, death was occurred in 6 children (35.29%) and in 3 adults (17.65%). Conclusion: Traumatic isolated ventricular hemorrhage (IVH) causes the worst prognosis in most cases. The survival rate with no residual effect is very minimum. In this study in 2 patients’ history of long coma, for more than 12 weeks was found. Besides these, moderate to severe morbidity was found in some cases.

Authors: Jalil RA  , Nurunnabi M  , Jahan S  , Islam KMS
Published: September 2021

Background: Nosocomial candidiasis are becoming increasingly important worldwide. Candida is a major causative agent of health care associated bloodstream infections, and lately non-albican Candida species are increasingly isolated from blood samples. Some of the Candida species have intrinsic and acquired resistance to the limited arsenal of antifungals; therefore early speciation is essential for the timely initiation of effective antifungal therapy. Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the performance of different carbohydrate assimilation tests and commercially available HiCrome Candida Differential Media (CHROMagar) for the identification of Candida in the four tertiary level hospitals in Dhaka. Results: A total of 58 yeasts samples was included in this study. Non-albicans Candida accounted for 100% of the isolates of which C. tropicalis was the predominant species (81.03%) followed by C. parapsilosis (12.07%), C. auris (5.17%) and C. dubliniensis (1.72%). Swab auxanographic technique and microtitre plate based miniaturized CHO assimilation methods were equally effective in identification of Candida sp. in comparison to CHO impregnated YNB plate method (98.28% and 100% vs 89.66%). Conclusion: By using Chromogenic agar 75.86% yeasts were identified but it could not give the conclusive differentiating color between the species of C. parapsilosis and C. auris.

Introduction: Neonatal sepsis (NS) is one of the important causesof neonatal morbidity anddeath in neonatal ward and neonatal medical care unit,especiallyin emergent nations. Frequent monitoring on pathogens with recent updates and their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern is compulsory for more satisfactory management. Methods: This cross sectionalstudy was outlined to evaluate the bacteriological profile and antimicrobialsensitivity pattern of NS in neonatal ward and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)of Sylhet Women’s Medical College and Hospital, Sylhet, Bangladeshfrom October 2019 to December 2020. Blood samples from 90 clinically suspected neonatal sepsis cases were accumulated and processed in the microbiological protocol and their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern were determined. Results: Among the90 cases, two third (61, 67.78%) showed positive blood culture. Among the positive blood culture, 38(62.29%) were gram positive isolates and gram negative isolates were 23(37.7%). This study showed Staphylococcus aureuswas the most common organism (59.01%) followed by Escherichia coli (E. Coli)(27.87%), Klebsiella pneumonia (9.87%) and Streptococcus pneumonia (3.28%) among the isolates. Gram positive isolates were highly reactive to Amikacin and Amoxicillin and Clavulenic acid whereas gram negative isolates were highly reactive to Gentamicin and Meropenem. Conclusion: Gram positive organism are the predominant source of NS which was highlighted in our study,though gram negative organism also plays an important role in the mortality cause by neonatal sepsis.

Background: Escherichia coli is a common causative of blood stream infection having potentials to produce significant morbidity and mortality. This organism also has the ability to develop resistance against antimicrobial agents. Knowing its epidemiology, risk factors and antimicrobial resistance patterns can help preventing and managing bacteremia caused by this organism. Materials and methods: This was across sectional observational study carried out from February 2017 to February 2018 on 64 blood culture positive Escherichia coli infected patients admitted in Medicine inpatient of a medical college hospital. Age, sex, mode of acquisition of infection, history of prior empiric antibiotic treatment, duration of hospital stay, development of complication were observed and noted. Antibiotic susceptibility test for all isolates was performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Predesigned semi-structured data collection from was used and collected data were analyzed manually and expressed in descriptive statistical terms. Results: Of the 64 enrolled patients, 47(73.43%) were female. Average age of affection was 53.48±20.65 years and increased incidence rates (51.56%) was observed at age >60 years. Infection was communityacquired in 35.84% cases and urinary tract infection was the most frequent (46.3) risk factor. More than eighty seven percent of samples showed resistance to at least one antimicrobial agent and resistance to multiple drugs was associated with complications. Conclusion: Escherichia coli bacteremia has high incidence rates for antimicrobial resistance and mortality. Continuous surveillance and antibiotic susceptibility pattern monitoring is essential to develop regional antibiotic therapy protocols.

COVID-19 has reshaped our lives. Our houses turned into co-working areas, school classrooms, and playgrounds. Social distancing has put more weight on parents to ensure their children’s education and cognitive gains. This has raised questions about the impact parents had on their children’s cognitive levels even before COVID-19. This paper is an attempt to show how parents’ behavior contributes to improving the cognitive level of their preschool children in a developing country. The paper also attempts to determine the relationship between parenting behavior and socioeconomic factors such as income and education.

Gender predisposition towards female leaders within the South African context remains a problem and compelling issue, particularly in rural settings, which are often marginalised and overlooked. Guided by the transformational leadership theory, this article explored the experiences of South African female principals in managing secondary schools in the Vhembe District of Limpopo. A profoundly traditional and patriarchal society characterises this rural setting. Hence, a qualitative research approach and a case study design were used. Ten female principals from ten (10) randomly selected secondary schools in the Vhembe District were purposively selected to serve as participants. Through semi-structured interviews, data were gathered from the sampled participants. Findings from the article reveal that patriarchy still plays a role in disadvantaging women from effectively assuming their duties as leaders. Most of the participants–female principals are subjected to gender bias and thus, unproductive, impact the cooperation from learners, parents, teachers, the community, and the Department of Education officials. Despite unpleasant experiences, female leaders in this article demonstrate selflessness in their daily leadership tasks and routines. Furthermore, they are inspirational and serve as role models to all they had relationships with for the transformation and change they desire in their schools. To the sampled principals, being selfless and inspirational is their leadership strength. One way of the few mentioned becoming a leader one aspires to.

The pandemic has caused several health issues and deaths and numerous severe devastations to the global economy. Due to the extreme impacts of the epidemics, it is crucial to investigate the pandemics and their pessimistically hidden influences to devise proper strategies. However, although this topic gains enormous recognition from scholars and researchers, there is still an inadequacy of a comprehensive literature review on the issues, and in-depth research on individual aspects of the world economy. Accordingly, the objective of this paper is to contribute a literature review that synthesises and evaluates prior research, to examine the current state of the pandemic impacts on the global economy, as well as become the requisite foundation for the practitioners to perceive how to respond to a pandemic in the future. A literature review is conducted, with 254 most relevant articles are analysed and classified based on the proposed framework. Thus, the findings of this study contribute diverse theoretical and practical insights concerning pandemics and the global economy. The results of this paper indicate the current status of the literature review and discover future research directions. Additionally, this paper proposes an integrated framework of the most influenced industries, followed by some emerging solutions to the most suffering sectors. Future research directions are further suggested based on the identified research gaps and the analysis results.
