Indian Arthroscopy Society Live Webinars: New era of online arthroscopy education during COVID-19 global pandemic
Authors: Biraris Sandeep R.
Published: November 2020

Objectives:

COVID-19 originated from Wuhan, China, in December 2019, and it spread all over the world, leading to devastating pandemic. This has affected large gatherings of people. As there was lockdown in many countries, elective surgeries like arthroscopy were on hold. Many surgeons were involved in online education. This has helped in developing and achieving the arthroscopy academic content online. We, hereby, put forward our experiences of starting the online education initiative of Indian Arthroscopy Society (IAS). Our objective was to study the response to the IAS webinars and digital contents in view of watch hours, viewerships etc.

Materials and Methods:

All the data was collected from the analytics of the official YouTube channel. All the digital content including over 100 webinars and 39 video uploads were studied.

Results:

Total viewers were 88,560. Date-wise average viewers per day were 456.49. The total watch time of all the viewers was 17,539.5015 h (average watch hours were 90.41 h). This also led to around 1,377,647 impressions. There were 100 live webinars and around 39 different arthroscopy videos uploads.

Conclusion:

Good teamwork among all the members has led to a successful online education initiative, which has supported the need for arthroscopy education in this COVID-19 pandemic. Due to these webinars, the IAS has taken a leap towards the digital education activity and it has positively helped the desiring delegates to update their knowledge, learn, and interact with the leaders in the field of Arthroscopic Surgery, from India and abroad.
Herausforderungen bei der Kodierung von Paratext am Beispiel Neuer Musik mit Live-Elektronik
Authors: Fütterer Daniel
Published: November 2020

In traditional scholarly editions of music, peritext only plays a minor role so far. Peritexts can be defined as integral components of a score, for example a foreword, that are not part of the musical text. Especially in New Music, which is often intentionally breaking with implicit performance traditions, peritexts might offer essential information, e. g. on the arrangement of instruments and personal on the stage, about the used effects and hardware, and on verbal instructions to the interpreters. Encoding this information to be fully accessible for a scholarly digital music edition, is an important challenge. The poster is explaining this issue using an example by Joachim Krebs.
Erhebung, Transformation und Präsentation digitaler Forschungsdaten
Authors: Ried Dennis
Published: November 2020

The process of data acquisition and transformation of Baumann Digital and Joachim-Raff-Archiv is the subject of this poster description. The data in both projects is (meanwhile) based on TEI and MEI to obtain a machine-readable corpus. The presentation platform created for this project was initially intended as a simple form of visualization for internal use, i. e. for structuring, proofreading of digital contents and first evaluations. The xQuery-based application for eXist-db was developed in detail during the first period of the Baumann Digital project, adding the dimension of public presentation to its original purpose. This poster focuses on the process of collecting, transforming and presenting the data of these two small projects, which have different research interests but deal with similar archival material.

Authors: Jeneetta Jose  , Rasmi S Nair  , Meenu Vijayan
Published: November 2020

The Zika Virus (ZIKV) happens to be one of the recent infections investigated after the Ebola pandemic. It is an arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) within the family Flaviviridae class. ZIKV is an RNA virus with a single strand, enveloped, icosahedral, non-sectioned, positive sense. It is 40 nm wide and has an outer (E) envelope and a dense inner core. The ZIKV can be transmitted by two methods: human and human-to-human vectors. The vector transmission is by Aedes spp. Mosquitoes and diseases outside Africa are transmitted by Aedes aegypti. Originating in Nigeria in 1947 it was reported as a mild illness and from a rhesus monkey. With a certain passage of time earned significant attention from healthcare organisations for the human population. Many clinical symptoms in adults in French Polynesia have been recorded, ranging from mild illness to severe neurological problems such as Guillain-Barré syndrome. Other symptoms include encephalitis microencephaly, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, paraesthesia, vertigo, facial and ophthalmological paralysis (photophobia and hypertensive iridocyclitis) and auditory manifestations. In this review, the clinical aspects and other therapeutic responses are studied here to understand the approach more treating symptoms arising with the infection of the Zika virus. Various complications have been studied in this review and diagnosis have been performed to identify the presence in the human body and also take clinical measures on alleviating the symptoms of the infected patients.

The live water storage of the reservoirs is decreasing by the sedimentation, which is affecting the reservoir’s capacity and cause a severe problem for the irrigation system at the downstream side. Floods occur at the downstream by the poor management at upstream due to the heavy rainfall and snow melting. For annual accumulations of sediment load and estimation of the peak flow at Tarbela reservoir near Besham Qila station having area of 170,000 km2 was selected. Estimation of the peak flow and sediment yield at the Tarbela reservoir, SWAT (distributed hydrological model) was used. The expected decrease in reservoir storage capacity was also estimated with the SWAT model. For runoff modelling, calibration was done for three years (2004-2006) and validation was also done for three years (2007-2009). Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) and Standard Error of Estimate existed the statistical indices to evaluate the results. Coefficient of determination (R2) was found as 0.75 for the calibration period and 0.80 for the validation. Whereas, NSE for calibration was observed 0.69 and 0.70 for the validation. Monthly mean sediment yield was about 0.13 BCM estimated at the Tarbela reservoir near Besham Qila.

Authors: Tejaningrum Ayi
Published: November 2020

Background: Small and medium businesses (SMEs) have major problems with regard to product quality so that it affects the low competitive ability. Some indications include high product variability, low process capability and low customer satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to prove whether the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in SMEs influences product quality and company performance? The research method is descriptive qualitative with a survey approach, samples taken using the simple random sampling method of 60 SMEs in two districts namely Cianjur and Bandung. The questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Based on the results of the study showed that the quality of products perceived by consumers is influenced by the implementation of TQM, the better SMEs implement TQM, the better the product quality. The data further proves that organizational performance as assessed by ROA (Return of Investment) is influenced by product quality, so that if the company wants to increase profits then improve product quality. This research is limited to processing industry SMEs not to the service sector. Some of the limitations of SMEs that have an impact on low quality are low access to technology, access to raw material sources which results in high product variability.

Evaluation by future bachelors directions of training "Physical culture" formation of universal competences
Authors: Kruchinina G A. , Filonov L. V.
Published: November 2020

Introduction.The article contains: analysis of scientific works in the field of higher education pedagogy on the formation of universal competencies; an experimental study to assess the formation of universal competencies in future bachelors. The modern professional pedagogical community constantly demonstrates that the presence of universal competencies is decisive for graduates of higher education. At the moment, there is no clear idea of the formation and assessment of universal competencies, in particular for bachelors of physical education.

Materials and Methods.We have developed materials for evaluation the future bachelors of universal competencies and conducted an experimental study. For each of the universal competencies, the average value of the assessment, the standard deviation, the confidence interval for the average assessment are determined, the results of the correlation analysis are presented.

Results.The data we obtained showed, that the average values of assessments by future bachelors of the direction of training "Physical culture" of universal competencies (the ability to: maintain the proper level of physical fitness to ensure full social and professional activity; search, critical analysis and synthesis of information, apply a systematic approach to solve the tasks; build an individual trajectory of self-development; perceive the intercultural diversity of society; formulate a range of tasks, achieve goals, choosing the best solutions; the ability to conduct business communication in a foreign language) are within 2.97 points - 3.86 points on a 5-point scale.

Discussion and Conclusions.Our study shows that the level of formation of the universal competencies of students of the program 49.03.01 “Physical Education” is insufficient. The formation of universal competencies is possible not only in the educational process, but also in scientific research, industrial practices, as part of extracurricular activities. The formation of universal competencies for future bachelors in the educational process of higher education will help to increase the level of knowledge, skills and experience of creative activity in the professional field: search and critical analysis of information; the ability to set goals and determine the range of tasks; communicate effectively in the teamwork, not only with Russian, but also with foreign colleagues; managing time and shaping individual development path; maintain the necessary level of physical activity to achieve professional and social goals. The results of the assessment of the formation of universal competencies of future bachelors are considered by us as an opportunity to improve the modern basic educational program.

Authors: Khuzwayo Mamsi Ethel
Published: November 2020

Given the focus on developing an alternative approach toward improving the quality of teacher education and training in South Africa, teacher educators and curriculum developers face increasing responsibility to implement competence-based assessment in initial teacher education and training. This exploratory examination of the scaffolding assessment of foundational, practical, and reflexive competences conducted through a case study intended to gather data on the experiences, views, and performance of a sample of 42 students in the third-year level of a teacher qualification program. The analytic rubrics with performance descriptors and the rating scale of outstanding, excellent, good, satisfactory, and weak were instruments for gathering quantitative data. The second source of data was face-to-face verbal comments and the diagnostic evaluation conducted by the participants in a focus group on their performance under the codes feedback, feed forward, and feed up in the templates. The analysis of quantitative data presented in the pie chart highlighted different levels of proficiency achieved by participants in foundational, practical, and reflexive competences. The data summarized in the bar chart point to the improvement attained by participants in the focus group. Findings proved that scaffolding assessment into phases allows learners to: regulate their attainment of higher levels of proficiency; work independently; and develop a piece of comprehensive and integrated knowledge, set of skills, and abilities. This study revealed that competence-based assessment is perceived by students to be both an accurate way of gauging their performance and a vital part of the learning process itself.
Cognitive E-Tools for Diagnosing the State of Medical Knowledge in Students Enrolled for a Second Time in an Anatomy Course
Authors: Morales-Martinez Guadalupe Elizabeth , Castellanos Alberto Manuel Ángeles , Ramírez Víctor Hugo Ibarra , Rangel Magaly Iveth Mancera
Published: November 2020

This article illustrates the application of the Chronometric Constructive Cognitive Learning Evaluation Model to measure the structural, organizational, and temporal properties of the anatomical knowledge schemata acquired by 52 first-year medical students enrolled for a second time in an anatomy course. The participants took part in a mental representation experiment as a part of which they carried out a conceptual definition task involving anatomy concepts based on the Natural Semantic Networks (NSN) technique. A computational simulation was performed on the NSN data, after which the students took part in a semantic priming experiment involving a lexical decision task which required them to classify words related or unrelated to their anatomy schema as word/non-word. Findings revealed that, although students stored the anatomy information in their memory, they struggled to structure, consolidate, and retrieve this information from their memory. These findings suggest that students who did not get the passing grade in anatomy course may struggle with integrating and consolidating pertinent information. Thus, results showed that the constructive-chronometric cognitive approach is useful to measure the properties of schemes medical students developed on the anatomy topic.

Authors: López Ortiz Angel , Gutiérrez Vega Marisela
Published: November 2020

Introduction: many studies have concluded that self-efficacy is an essential variable within the area of drug addictions and a key to maintaining abstinence and preventing relapses. The Situational Confidence Questionnaire by Annis et al. (1987), is one of the most used instruments to measure self-efficacy and has had various modifications. The Brief Situational Confidence Questionnaire (CBCS), is the shortest version with only 8 items. Objective: to obtain the factor validity and reliability of the CBCS with a clinical sample in residential modality. Method: the study was carried out with a sample of 41 volunteers patients, adolescents, and adults interned in a residential rehabilitation center. The evaluation met the standards for the development and review of instrumental studies. Results: after carrying out the exploratory factor analysis, the eight original items were left within a single factor which explains 71.39% of the variance, with a factor load between the ranges of .76 and .91, and with an internal consistency of .941. Discussion and conclusions: the Brief Situational Confidence Questionnaire presents an internal consistency with high reliability and acceptable factor loads, such as was found in other studies. Therefore, its use in Mexico is suggested as an evaluation tool in a clinical setting, with patients who are interned in a rehabilitation center. It is recommended to carry out replications with more representative and randomly selected samples. Furthermore, it is suggested to include confirmatory factor analysis to obtain greater certainty in the results.
Forked Times: Documenting “Ordinary Time” in Everyday Life
Authors: McKenzie Pam
Published: November 2020

“Ordinary” time is commonly defined as time that is neither holidays nor emergencies, which suggests that “ordinary time” events are routine rather than singular.  An analysis of how people document events in “ordinary” time, however, shows that the stream of “ordinary” time has multiple forks; that ordinary does not necessarily mean predictable, and that both vacations and emergencies could, in certain circumstances, take on the character of routine rather than singular events.
Le temps «ordinaire» est généralement défini comme un temps qui n'est ni des vacances ni des urgences, ce qui suggère que les événements «ordinaires» sont routiniers plutôt que singuliers. Une analyse de la manière dont les gens documentent les événements en temps «ordinaire» montre cependant que le flux du temps «ordinaire» a plusieurs fourchettes; cet ordinaire ne signifie pas nécessairement prévisible et que les vacances et les urgences pourraient, dans certaines circonstances, prendre le caractère d'événements routiniers plutôt que singuliers.

Published: November 2020

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s 2015 Calls to Action and the CFLA-FCAB Truth and Reconciliation Committee’s 2017 Report and Recommendations provide libraries with information for furthering reconciliation and decolonization efforts. Public libraries in Canada have responded to these documents by undertaking various initiatives, which are communicated by libraries, for example, through websites. This paper analyzed website content of five Canadian public libraries. The findings suggest that libraries have taken various initiatives in different areas including online and physical spaces, collections, and programs. Interestingly, decolonization and reconciliation related work also features in some public libraries’ strategic plans.
Les appels à l'action de 2015 de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada et le rapport et les recommandations de 2017 du Comité de vérité et réconciliation de l'ACFL-FCAB fournissent aux bibliothèques de l'information pour poursuivre les efforts de réconciliation et de décolonisation. Les bibliothèques publiques du Canada ont répondu à ces documents en entreprenant diverses initiatives, qui sont communiquées par les bibliothèques, par exemple, par le biais de sites Web. Cet article analyse le contenu des sites Web de cinq bibliothèques publiques canadiennes. Les résultats suggèrent que les bibliothèques ont pris diverses initiatives dans différents domaines, y compris les espaces physiques et en ligne, les collections et les programmes. Il est intéressant de noter que les travaux liés à la décolonisation et à la réconciliation figurent également dans les plans stratégiques de certaines bibliothèques publiques.
Encouraging Convergence of Information Behaviour Theory and Information Services Education
Authors: VanScoy Amy , Julien Heidi , Hall Alison
Published: November 2020

Information behaviour theory, models, and concepts (IB TMCs) are foundational for effective reference and information services (RIS) and yet they are not widely addressed in basic RIS courses. This study explores how librarianship students are being educated in IB TMCs. Course syllabi and assigned textbooks of RIS courses were analyzed for integration of IB TMCs. This analysis is followed by a survey of instructors of these courses to determine key factors in integration of IB TMCs. Preliminary results indicate that treatment of IB TMCs remain limited and suggest that IB scholars may have an impact on the integration of their work.

Nollywood, the second largest movie industry in the world after America’s Hollywood, is Nigeria’s movie industry. This ongoing study investigates how sexual messages and scenes are communicated to viewers and if there is correlation between the pattern of Nollywood movies exposure and sexual behaviour of in-school adolescents in the southwestern part of Nigeria. Data will be collected from the participants through questionnaire while content of popular Nollywood movies among the participants will be content analyzed. It is expected that this study will provide information about the frequency of sexual scenes and how risky sexual behaviours are portrayed in Nollywood movies. Secondly, it is expected that this study will show the types of relationships that exist between movie exposure behaviour and sexual behaviour in the study population.
Nollywood, la deuxième plus grosse industrie du cinéma au monde après Hollywood, est l'industrie du cinéma nigérien. Cet étude en cours examine comment les messages et les scènes à caractères sexuels sont communiquées aux téléspectateurs et s'il existe une corrélation entre le modèle d'exposition aux films Nollywoodiens et les comportements sexuels des adolescents scolarisés dans le sud-ouest du Nigéria. Les données seront collectés auprès des participants par le biais d'un questionnaire et le contenu des films Nollywoodiens populaires auprès des participants sera anlysé. Cette étude devrait fournir des information sur la fréquence des scènes sexuelles et sur la manière dont les comportements sexuels à risque sont décrits dans les films de Nollywood. Il est aussi attendu que cette étude montre les types de relations qui existent entre le comportement d'exposition au cinéma et le comportement sexuel dans la population étudiée.
Quality Matters: A New Approach for Detecting Quality Problems in Web Archives
Authors: Reyes Ayala Brenda , McDevitt Jennifer , Sun James , Liu Xiaohui
Published: November 2020

Since the practice of web archiving, or the act of preserving websites as historical, legal, and informational records, become more commonplace in the 2000s, web archives have become valuable sources for historical research. Unfortunately, many archived websites are of low quality and are missing crucial elements. In this paper, we examine the issue of quality and focus on visual correspondence, the similarity in appearance between the original website and its archived counterpart. We examine how the visual correspondence of an archived website can be measured using image similarity measures. Our results indicate that the Structural Similarity Index metric (SSIM) was able to successfully measure visual correspondence. If applied to the Quality Assurance process of an institution, this similarity metric could help web archivists quickly detect quality problems in their web archives, and fix them in order to create high-quality web archives.
Depuis que la pratique de l'archivage Web, ou l'acte de préserver les sites Web en tant que documents historiques, juridiques et informatifs, est devenue plus courante dans les années 2000, les archives Web sont devenues des sources précieuses pour la recherche historique. Malheureusement, de nombreux sites Web archivés sont de mauvaise qualité et manquent d'éléments cruciaux. Dans cet article, nous examinons la question de la qualité et nous nous concentrons sur la correspondance visuelle, la similitude d'apparence entre le site Web d'origine et son homologue archivé. Nous examinons comment la correspondance visuelle d'un site Web archivé peut être mesurée à l'aide de mesures de similitude d'image. Nos résultats indiquent que la Structural Similarity Index metric (SSIM) a pu mesurer avec succès la correspondance visuelle. S'il est appliqué au processus d'assurance qualité d'une institution, cette indicateur de similitude pourrait aider les archivistes Web à détecter rapidement les problèmes de qualité dans leurs archives Web et à les résoudre afin de créer des archives Web de haute qualité.
Memetic Relationships as Tillet’s Shared Characteristics
Authors: Mayhew Alex
Published: November 2020

The field of knowledge organization, and cataloguing in particular, has increasingly become concerned with bibliographic relationships. Tillett (2001) developed a taxonomy of bibliographic relationships that is largely shared by Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), with the exception of the “shared characteristic” relationship including such features as shared creator or subject headings. This paper will offer another possible shared characteristic: “memes.” Memes are units of cultural inheritance and include literary tropes, character archetypes, and genre conceits, and can link otherwise unconnected works. 
Le domaine de l'organisation des connaissances, et du catalogage en particulier, se préoccupe de plus en plus des relations bibliographiques. Tillett (2001) a développé une taxonomie des relations bibliographiques qui est largement partagée par les Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), à l'exception de la relation «caractéristique partagée» incluant des caractéristiques telles que le partage de créateur ou de vedettes-matière. Cet article proposera une autre caractéristique commune possible: les mèmes. Les mèmes sont des unités d'héritage culturel qui comprennent des tropes et des archétypes de personnages et de genre, et qui peuvent lier des œuvres autrement non liées.

Isso em razão da doença ser responsável, por milhares de mortes, além dos impactos econômicos mundiais decorrentes e sem precedentes nos últimos cem anos. O objetivo desta revisão de literatura é promover uma discussão a respeito do contexto global e das diferentes plataformas de tecnologias aplicadas no desenvolvimento de imunização contra o SARS-CoV-2. Nossas informações são baseadas em bancos de dados de programas de desenvolvimento de vacinas relatados através da OMS, além dos trabalhos científicos disponíveis na literatura direcionados aos ensaios promissores. As pesquisas disponíveis na literatura visam induzir resposta imunológica com produção de anticorpos contra a proteína spike (S) viral, impedindo a adesão desta à enzima conversora de angiotensina (ECA2) e consequentemente, a interiorização do vírus na célula. Até esse momento, 150 candidatas foram registradas na OMS, em diferentes estágios. Muitas dessas plataformas são inovadoras ao mercado farmacêutico de vacinas licenciadas. Por outro lado, contamos com distintos paradigmas tecnológicos sendo colocados em pauta. Um exemplo a ser destacado é a tecnologia utilizada na vacina mRNA – 1273, que codifica uma forma da proteína S e demonstrou alta eficácia humana na produção de anticorpos.  Os resultados clínicos têm alimentado grande esperança quanto ao controle da infecção, entretanto, nesse momento é necessário existir uma forte política cultural específica, que contemple e norteie todas as diretrizes éticas relacionadas com esse processo.

Background. Ionizing radiation could cause negative effects on DNA molecules, which leads mutation and tumorigenesis. Thyroid gland is one of the most radiosensitive organ due to the great oxidative process on their physiological condition. Medical workers have been exposed to radiation during medical image acquisition. The relation between radiation and the increase of thyroid cancer incidence have been studied before, the discussion mostly explain the acute effect of radiation. The aim of this study is to describe the incidence of thyroid nodule on radiation-exposed worker. Methods. The study was performed in 40 radiation-exposed workers with at least has 5 years working period. We examined using thyroid ultrasonography and blood level of T3, fT4 and TSH. Result. The incidence of thyroid nodule in radiation-exposed worker is 37.5%, which is higher among female (66%) than in male (29%). Based on the age distribution, most of the nodules were find in workers with age more than 35 years old. According to ultrasonography result and TIRADS scoring, 66.7% of the nodules were benign which categorize as TIRADS 1 and only 33% of the nodules were categorize as moderately suspicious or TIRADS 4. Conclusion. Radiation-exposed workers have high risk to develop thyroid nodules. This study could be used as basic data to do further evaluation. It is important to perform thyroid screening periodically among them.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasingly diagnosed and thus more patients are in need of hemodialysis (HD) to sustain their life. The quality of vascular access for HD should be suitable for repeated puncture and allow a fast blood flow rate for high-efficiency dialysis with minimal complications. Our study aimed to document local experience and early outcomes after arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation for hemodialysis access including complications related to AVF creation.This was a hospital based clinical audit in which case notes of patients who had undergone AVF creation between May, 2017 and March, 2018 at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) were reviewed using a structured data collection tool. Information regarding preoperative assessment for AVF creation, outcome of AVF, and age of the patients were collected. Descriptive statistics were prepared and summarized as tables. A total of 57 case notes of patients who underwent AVF creation for HD access with males contributing majority of patients (77.2%) were reviewed. The predominant age group was 41 to 60 years of age (56.2%) with mean age 47 years and age range of 18 -69 years. Three patients had procedure abandoned on the table due to sclerotic vein. The functional maturation rate was found to be 64.9% and post AVF complications in 15 patients (26.3%). Recorded post AVF creation complications were fistula stenosis/revision (27.8%), bleeding/haematoma (22.2%), limb oedema (22.2%), aneurysm (11.1%), surgical site infection [SSI] (11.1%) and thrombus formation (5.6%).AVF creation for HD access is common at MNH with a functional maturation rate of 64.9%, which is an acceptable rate. The preoperative vascular assessment in this survey was mainly found to be physical examination while preoperative vascular imaging was not commonly done to assess suitability of veins and arteries for AVF creation although post AVF complications are relatively few.

The study was carried out at the poultry section of the Department of Animal Science farm, University of Education Winneba (Mampong - Ashanti campus, Ghana) from July, 2018 to September, 2018. Data were collected from fifty randomly selected and tagged birds. The data were collected weekly for eight weeks., Head length (HL), Beak length (BL), Body length (BL), Wing length (WL), shank length (SL), shank circumference(SC) and height(H) were taken randomly on five birds in each replicate at a day in every two weeks using tape measure and Vernier calipers. The data collected were analyzed using simple linear regression analysis. The results from the study indicated that, all linear body measurements were significantly (P<0.01) effected for the model, intercepts and slopes of the regression lines with linear response with the best predictor of body weight indicated for shank circumference. It was concluded from the study that; linear body measurements could be used to predict the body weight of broiler chickens. It is recommended that in areas, especially rural areas, where weighing balance or scale may not be readily available, a tailor’s tape can be used to measure linear body parameters and thereafter used to estimate body weight of chickens from the predictive equation.
Curing the Infected Wound: Metaphor of State-Owned Enterprises in News Headlines
Authors: Adam Muhammad
Published: November 2020

The current condition of Indonesian State Own Enterprises (SOEs) has become the focus of various studies across fields. The studies extend from an economic perspective to legal aspects, but the study to address the SOEs condition from linguistics perspective has been overlooked. On the other hand, the study of conceptual metaphor in media discourse puts little attention on this particular issue, and plenty of studies of conceptual metaphor do not account for the effect of contextual aspects on the additional inferences of metaphor. This study attempts to fill the gaps by examining the news headlines reports on the current conditions of SOEs using metaphorical expressions. It will take a closer look at the conceptual metaphor STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES ARE PATIENTS in Indonesian news headlines and conducting further investigation on how contextual aspects influence the additional metaphorical inferences. The study is qualitative with purposive sampling method; the data taken are ten news headlines from online media news which discuss the current improvement process and condition of SOEs using metaphorical expressions. Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980) is the conceptual framework of this study. From ten news headlines analysed, three metaphorical framings to speak about the current condition of SOEs as if SOEs are patient, i.e.: SOEs is a sick patient with particular sickness, the government is a medical practitioner, and after treatment, SOEs is a healthy patient or a dying patient. The underlying conception of STATE-OWN ENTERPRISES ARE PATIENTS implies that there are still plenty outstanding actions to be taken to improve the SOEs' performance, not only to provide remedies but most importantly is to prevent the sickness. Furthermore, additional inferences may emerge from the same metaphorical expressions in a different situational context. The implication is, media or journalists should consider that unintended inferences may arise from a particular metaphorical expression which are not initially meant to.

The problem that the participants face in the speaking class teaching is very low confident in speaking English in the class. The research aims are to find the effectiveness the pair and group interview techniques to enhance the participants’ speaking skill.  The experimental study consisting 100 participants at fourth semester of Educational English Department Bosowa University and 40 participants have been chosen randomly as a sample which divided into the treatment class and control class. The treatment class was divided into pairs and groups in conducting the three types of interview techniques in which, one participant asking the four participants and four participants asking one student. The study reveals that the participants felt free and brave expressed their language skill through the small group both pairs and groups of interview techniques. Moreover, these result also was identified that these techniques effective stimulating the participants to speak English actively, confidently, and fluently than the traditional teaching model. In which, all the treatment class, most the participants speaking English actively, whereas the control class is only 60 percent participants speaking English actively and some of the participants only kept silent in the class.
