COVID -19: INCESSANT LOCKDOWNS IMPACT ON TRIBAL COMMUNITY IN INDIA
Authors: Prof.P.Manjushree  , P.Geetha
Published: July 2021

It is a well-documented fact that COVID -19 pandemic is having a ravaging effect across the world, lives, livelihoods, lifestyles, life forms and more have been heavily impacted. To control the spread of pandemic Indian government adopted different approaches like - three weeks lockdown imposing social distancing, closure of non essential and businesses and very high restrictions on the mobility of people. All these measure had repercussions on the economy and severe impact among the tribal communities because of limited resources of livelihood, lack of access to Covid-19 testing and healthcare facilities, disruption of supply chains etc. According to government sources more than 10 crore forest dwellers depend on minor forest produce (MFPs) for earning income to meet their basic expenses. Due to the extensive lock down measures government failed to provide employment to tribal people under schemes like the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and Pradhan Mantri Van Dhan Yojana (PMVDY). This has triggered an increase in the dependence of the tribal population on the sale of forest produce. Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) should plan more supportive policy measures to reduce the impact of the pandemic on the living conditions of the tribal community.The paper focusses on the first wave of the pandemic and its impact on tribal community.
KEY WORDS: COVID -19,lock down, tribal community, impact, minor forest produce(MFPS), ministry of tribal affairs (MoTA), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).

Self-Awareness Of Persons With Disabilities To Carry Out Rehabilitation, Increasing Participation And Rehabilitation Needs
Authors: Ardesa Yopi Harwinanda
Published: July 2021

Background: Rehabilitation of persons with disabilities increases productivity. Self-awareness motivates participation in rehabilitation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-awareness and rehabilitation.

Methods: This research is a quantitative descriptive study with a cross sectional approach with a population of people with disabilities in Colomadu District, Karanganyar. Sampling using purposive sampling technique with the inclusion criteria of persons with physical disabilities as many as 23 subjects. The research instrument used a questionnaire. Data collection was carried out in December 2019. The data analysis technique used the non-parametric Rank Correlation test Spearman test.

Results: The results of data analysis showed that self-awareness was not related to the rehabilitation of persons with physical disabilities with a value of r = 0.108, (p>0.05). The adjustment value (R2) is 0.118, meaning that 11.8% of individual autonomy variations can be explained by variations in self-awareness. While 88.2% was caused by other factors. Self-awareness does not improve rehabilitation implementation.

Conclusion: External supporting factors are needed to increase the participation of persons with disabilities and self-awareness as internal motivation to strengthen external supporting factors in the implementation of rehabilitation.
Impact of Membrane Resistance on Width and Amplitude of Spikes in Different Injected Currents in One Spiking Neural Model
Authors: Pilehvari Shima , Zhang Lei , Mayorga Rene V.
Published: July 2021

Neurons in the brain as the elementary processing units and nervous system play a key role. If a neuron gets a proper stimulus, it produces action potentials (spikes) that are transferred along its axon. Reaching the end of the neuron, other neurons or muscle cells may be activated [1]. The effect of neural morphology along with thickness of dendrites and passive electrical parameters on the spikes width and amplitude can be investigated by analytical and numerical investigations of spiking models. The impact of mentioned proper stimulus may be degraded by passing time. In this paper, it is tried to add the effective parameter ’membrane resistance’ in well-known Hodgkin-Huxley model with four dimensions to compare several outputs due to changing resistance and various injected current. The goal of this paper has been to measure spikes changes or even how to determine current threshold when resistance is not constant (non-linear time dependant) result of different factors.

Dialogue of Modernity and Tradition in the Landscapes by Bronisław Jamontt from the Interwar Period
Authors: Geron Małgorzata
Published: July 2021

A fascination with nature accompanied Bronisław Jamontt throughout all stages of his artistic creation. His early work was characterised by the truthful depiction of reality. Contact with the Krakow-Zakopane creative community influenced the creation of efficient works in the selection of formal means, allowing him to record feelings evoked by nature. In the 1920s, Jamontt, inspired by the search for avant-garde artists, created fantastic landscapes filled with rock blocks placed in cosmic space. The transformation of shapes was accompanied by an unreal colour range, additionally leading to a mood of anxiety and mystery. From the 1930s, the artist again began to emphasise the realistic element, allowing the creation of decorative landscapes, composed on the basis of sketches, referring to the romantic vision of nature.
Performing Togetherness: Tourist-Like Photography from Abu Ghraib
Authors: Petraitis Paulius
Published: July 2021

The article explores the infamous photographs from the Abu Ghraib prison that circulated and were made public in 2004. It specifically looks at how the sense of togetherness was enacted by the U.S. military personnel stationed in the site, and the way cameras were instrumental in this process. It argues that the resultant photographs can be seen as tou- rist-like in several respects. A notable aspect of the photographic images is that the soldiers who took them repeatedly appear in the frame themselves. Appearing in and photographing the abusive acts was not only a form of structuring and reinforcing power relations at the prison, but also an attempt to portray a fun-having personnel group. The visual signifiers – thumbs up, smiles, pointed fingers – authenticate the images, lending them some of the qualities of tourist photography. At Abu Ghraib, the soldiers’ photographic practice also partly served as a sense-making mechanism, allowing a symbolic distance between the camera-wielder and unforeseen emergent events. It promised a wishful alternative to the grim realities of the prison: an overcrowded and undersupplied facility with a lack of on-site leadership. The scars of resultant violence – and the notorious photographs that document it – remain relevant, and continue to resurface in recent so- cial and political contexts.

Microbiological and epidemiological review of Hantavirus: A Review
Authors: Marif Hardi , Ali Kwestan
Published: July 2021

Hantaviruses are rodent viruses that have a world-wide distribution. Rodents and insectivores act as asymptomatic, chronic, persistently infected carrier hosts, whereas humans are dead end hosts and may exhibit symptoms after an incubation period of between one and six weeks. Hantaviruses infect humans and causing either hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). Due to the absence of the treatment and approved vaccine in the USA, European and Asian countries, the public awareness and precautions are the only way of minimizing the risk of Hantavirus infection. This review provides a microbiological and epidemiological summary of the Hantavirus diseases in rodents and human beings. We concluded that the disease is a serious zoonotic disease the affect animals and humans and the mortality rate is really high. A wide range of different diagnostic tests play an important role in the diagnosis of the Hantavirus.
Circadian Rhythms of Oxidant-Antioxidant Agents, HPA Axis and Protein Carbonyl Content in Serum, Brain and Adrenal Gland Tissues
Authors: Abed Sabea , Alrawi Saad , Al-Azawi Tahani
Published: July 2021

The aim of this experiment is to study the circadian rhythm of oxidant-antioxidant components in the body. A total of 20 adult male rabbits were divided into 2 groups (G1and G2)and kept in 2 different rooms. Serum was isolated after blood collection at 12 A.M or 12 P.M respectively from G1 and G2.The results reveal a significant elevation in serum GSH, MDA and SOD during night hours. The B-endorphin showed a value of 84.36±1.36 in rabbits serum during night compared with 53.23±1.12 during day hours. Serum ACTH and cortisone concentration during night hours expressed a value of 71.03±0.16 and 24.46±0.38 compared to 52.80±0.37 and 11.80±0.57 during day hours respectively. Protein carbonyl contents shows a regular variation between serum and tissues during day and night hours. It was concluded that the oxidant-antioxidant imbalance lead to such variation between day and night hours due to activities and metabolism. Extensive research is needed to minimize and overlap such stress.
Producción de café variedad Castillo® en altas densidades de siembra con uno y dos tallos por sitio
Authors: Rendón José Raúl
Published: July 2021

La densidad de siembra, entre las prácticas de manejo del cultivo de café, es uno de los factores más determinantes de la productividad, seguida por la nutrición y la edad. Bajo las condiciones actuales de la caficultura en Colombia, aumentar el promedio de plantas por hectárea para promover una mayor productividad es una meta nacional, no obstante, algunos caficultores han superado la máxima densidad de 10.000 plantas/ha. Con el propósito de conocer la respuesta a esta práctica, en la Estación Experimental La Catalina, ubicada en el municipio de Pereira (Risaralda), entre los años 2015 y 2019, se evaluaron seis densidades de población de tallos por hectárea (tratamientos), en plantas de café variedad Castillo®, bajo tres arreglos espaciales con uno y dos tallos por sitio, en un diseño completamente aleatorio. El análisis de la producción de la primera cosecha y el acumulado de dos, tres y cuatro cosechas, no mostró diferencias estadísticas según prueba F al 5%, al comparar uno y dos tallos por sitio, con las poblaciones conformadas entre 7.407 y 14.815 tallos/ha, 10.000 y 20.000 tallos/ha, 11.111 y 22.222 tallos/ha, respectivamente. De acuerdo con los resultados, en plantaciones de café variedad Castillo®, al superar las 10.000 plantas o tallos/ha, la competencia intraespecífica ocasionada por una excesiva población, compromete la estabilidad de la producción y dificulta el manejo del cultivo. En consecuencia, en variedad Castillo® la mayor densidad de siembra recomendada es de máximo 10.000 plantas o tallos/ha.
Uniform Forward-modeling Analysis of Ultracool Dwarfs. I. Methodology and Benchmarking
Authors: Zhang 张 Zhoujian 周健 , Liu Michael C. , Marley Mark S. , Line Michael R. , Best William M. J.
Published: July 2021

We present a forward-modeling framework using the Bayesian inference tool Starfish and cloudless Sonora-Bobcat model atmospheres to analyze low-resolution (R ≈ 80–250) near-infrared (1.0–2.5 μm) spectra of T dwarfs. Our approach infers effective temperatures, surface gravities, metallicities, radii, and masses, and by accounting for uncertainties from model interpolation and correlated residuals due to instrumental effects and modeling systematics, produces more realistic parameter posteriors than traditional (χ
2-based) spectral-fitting analyses. We validate our framework by fitting the model atmospheres themselves and finding negligible offsets between derived and input parameters. We apply our methodology to three well-known benchmark late-T dwarfs, HD 3651B, GJ 570D, and Ross 458C, using both solar and nonsolar metallicity atmospheric models. We also derive these benchmarks’ physical properties using their bolometric luminosities, their primary stars’ ages and metallicities, and Sonora-Bobcat evolutionary models. Assuming the evolutionary-based parameters are more robust, we find our atmospheric-based, forward-modeling analysis produces two outcomes. For HD 3615B and GJ 570D, spectral fits provide accurate T
eff and R but underestimated

log
g

(by ≈1.2 dex) and Z (by ≈0.35 dex), likely due to the systematics from modeling the potassium line profiles. For Ross 458C, spectral fits provide accurate

log
g

and Z but overestimated T
eff (by ≈120 K) and underestimated R (by ≈1.6×), likely because our model atmospheres lack clouds, reduced vertical temperature gradients, or disequilibrium processes. Finally, the spectroscopically inferred masses of these benchmarks are all considerably underestimated.

Published: July 2021

We present our analysis of the narrow emission lines produced in the plasma regions within the bright active galactic nucleus of NGC 4151, from an ORBYTS research-with-schools public engagement project. Our goal was to test whether the properties of these plasma regions changed between XMM-Newton observations spanning 15 yr from 2000 to 2015, by measuring the outflow velocities and distances. From this study, we found that NGC 4151 has at least two to three plasma regions. There is no evidence of the outflowing wind properties changing as the velocities and distances are consistent throughout the observations.

The Aristarchus plateau hosts a diversity of volcanic features, including the largest pyroclastic deposit on the Moon, the largest sinuous rille on the Moon, and intrusive and extrusive examples of evolved, Th-rich silicic lithologies. We provide an overview of previous remote-sensing measurements of the Aristarchus plateau and provide new analyses of Diviner Lunar Radiometer thermal IR data, Lunar Prospector Gamma Ray Spectrometer Th data, Chang’e-5 Microwave Radiometer data, and hyperspectral and multispectral visible/near-infrared images and spectra from the Chandrayaan-1 Moon Mineralogy Mapper and the Kaguya Multispectral Imager. The rich diversity of volcanic features on the Aristarchus plateau presents an opportunity for a sustained science and exploration program. We suggest a series of missions to the Aristarchus crater floor or ejecta, the Cobra Head, and Herodotus Mons to investigate the link between pyroclastic, effusive basaltic, and silicic volcanism in the region. Such missions would enable analyses of silicic rocks that are rare in the Apollo sample collection and demonstrate in situ resource utilization of FeO- and H2O-bearing pyroclastic materials.

Gyroporusspecies with cyanescent oxidation reactions were investigated, based on morphology and phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from the nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nrLSU), the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate ATP synthase subunit 6 (atp6). Three species, including two new species, namelyG. alpinusandG. flavocyanescensand one previously-described species, namelyG. brunneofloccosus, are revealed from China. Collections formerly reported from China as “G. cyanescens” are eitherG. alpinusorG. flavocyanescens. The new species are documented and illustrated in detail, while the concept ofG. brunneofloccosusis refined with additional recently-collected materials. Additionally, the cyanescent speciesG. pseudomicrosporus, previously described from China, is shown to be a member of the genusGyrodon, based on re-examination of the type specimen. A key to the cyanescentGyroporusspecies from China is provided.

Published: July 2021

The orb-weaving spider genusNovakiellaCourt & Forster, 1993 (family Araneidae Clerck, 1757) is reviewed to include two species,N. trituberculosa(Roewer, 1942) (type species, Australia and New Zealand) andN. boletussp. nov.(Australia).Novakiellabelongs to the informal, largely Australian ‘backobourkiine’ clade and shares with the other genera of the clade a single macroseta on the male pedipalp patella and a median apophysis of the male pedipalp that forms an arch over the radix. The proposed genus synapomorphies are the presence of a large basal conductor lobe expanding apically over the radix and the shape of the median apophysis, which extends into a basally directed, pointy projection.

Nurses' Autonomy and Perceived Barriers to Pain Management in Nursing Home Residents
Authors: Rababa Mohammad , Ellis Julie L.
Published: July 2021

Nurses' autonomy is essential for optimal pain management in nursing home (NH) residents. However, little is known about nurses' autonomy and how it relates to the issue of unrelieved pain in NH residents in Jordan and beyond. The current descriptive comparative study aimed to compare the prevalence of barriers to pain assessment and management in NH residents, perceived by nurses according to their autonomy level. Participating nurses were found to have low levels of clinical autonomy. A significant difference in the prevalence of perceived barriers to pain assessment and management was found among nurses according to their autonomy level. Findings provide a better understanding of nurses' autonomy and their perceived barriers to pain assessment and management in NH residents. Findings also highlight the significance of nurses' autonomy for the assessment and management of pain in NH residents. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 47(8), 45–52.]

Authors: Felfeli Tina , Murtaza Fahmeeda , Abueh Barilee , Mandelcorn Mark S. , Wong David D. , Mandelcorn Efrem D.
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate the clinical significance of preoperative spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) features and their association with postoperative outcomes in eyes with primary macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

This is a retrospective case series of all consecutive cases undergoing repair of primary macula-off RRD at two tertiary care academic centers between January 2018 to January 2021.

RESULTS:

Among 406 eyes, baseline visual acuity (β = 0.184,
P
= .001) and time to surgery (β = 0.009,
P
= .033) were predictive of postoperative visual acuity at 1-year follow-up after adjusting for age, sex and lens status, as well as presence of preoperative features on OCT such as outer retinal corrugations and height of the retinal detachment.

CONCLUSION:

Baseline visual acuity and time to surgical repair are the best predictors of vision outcomes following macula-off RRD repair.

Authors: Starr Matthew R. , Ammar Michael J. , Patel Luv G. , Boucher Nicholas , Yonekawa Yoshihiro , Garg Sunir J. , Hsu Jason , Ho Allen C. , Regillo Carl D. , Chiang Allen
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

Data regarding hemorrhagic complications of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and vitreoretinal surgery are limited.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Multicenter analysis of longitudinal, aggregated electronic health records of patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with no prior history of ocular hemorrhage. Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing PPV between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2019. The main outcomes were development of postoperative hemorrhagic complications within 1 month following vitreoretinal surgery.

RESULTS:

A total of 58,131 eyes underwent PPV, with 2,956 (5.1%) on anticoagulant medication prior to surgery. Eight hundred twenty-eight eyes (1.4%) developed a postoperative hemorrhage. Of eyes with anticoagulation use, 50 of 2,956 (1.29%) developed a hemorrhage, whereas 778 of 55,175 (1.41%) of the eyes with no prior anticoagulation use developed a postoperative hemorrhage (
P
= .2107).

CONCLUSION:

Use of DOACs prior to vitreoretinal surgery does not appear to be associated with increased rates of postoperative intraocular hemorrhage.

Let $ f(z) $ be analytic in the unit disk with $ f(0) = f'(0)-1 = 0 $. For the following close-to-convex subclasses: $ \Re \{(1-z)f'(z)\} > 0, $ $ \Re \{(1-z^{2})f'(z)\} > 0, $ $ \Re \{(1-z+z^{2})f'(z)\} > 0 $ and $ \Re \{(1-z)^{2}f'(z)\} > 0 $, we investigate the bounds for the first two consecutive derivatives of higher order Schwarzian derivatives of $ f(z) $.

Authors: Abushal Tahani A. ,   Department of Mathematical Sinces, Umm AL-Qura University, Makkah Al Mukarramah, 715, Saudi Arabia
Published: July 2021

In this paper, the problem of estimating the parameter of Akash distribution applied when the lifetime of the product follow Type-Ⅱ censoring. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) are studied for estimating the unknown parameter and reliability characteristics. Approximate confidence interval for the parameter is derived under the s-normal approach to the asymptotic distribution of MLE. The Bayesian inference procedures have been developed under the usual error loss function through Lindley's technique and Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. The highest posterior density interval is developed by using Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. Finally, the performances of the different methods have been compared through a Monte Carlo simulation study. The application to set of real data is also analyzed using proposed methods.
Portraying Rare and Misdiagnosed Diseases in Movies
Authors: Costa Liliana Vale , Veloso Ana Isabel
Published: July 2021

This chapter examines the portrayal of rare and misdiagnosed diseases in 9 movies from 1980 to 2018. The analysis embodies the representation of rare diseases and the suggested audiovisual strategies to comprehend the message conveyed. Most of the movies introduced the disease by highlighting its symptoms. The binomial culture of cure and care often emerges, as well as the patient's desire for the mundane pleasures in life and over dependence in a health system. The high hopes in research advances and lack of information are majorly covered in the caregivers' attempts to seek tests and drug trials and their mediator's role in patient-physician interactions. The audiovisual strategies adopted vary between the accelerated montage to communicate the contrast between the frenetic side of everyday life and the patient's process of coping with the disease, deep focus from patients to parents, and close-ups to show the individual's reactions and perspectives.
Representation of Patients With Rare Diseases in Spanish Media
Authors: Villafranca Paloma López
Published: July 2021

There are more than 360 associations of patients with rare diseases in Spain that strive for visibility to obtain funding and encourage clinical pathologies. The Spanish Year of Rare Diseases has been a considerable effort to be part of media agenda since 2013 and a “collective voice” throughout the media has been encouraged with the international initiatives devoted to the cause. Over the past years, representation of patients with rare diseases in Spanish media has been very superficial, despite the renewed interest during the Spanish Year of Rare Diseases. Certain cases as “Paco Sanz” or “Los Padres de la Pequeña Nadia” have negatively affected this representation by using the disease to pursue economic benefit. This chapter reports on the representation of rare diseases through Spanish media and the way it evolved in the last 6 years. The findings highlight the effort that has been made by patient advocacy groups with rare diseases and their relatives and caregivers, who have been recognized and proactive to get the treatment and medication needed.
Approaching Empowerment Holistically: are Physicians Willing And Able?
Authors: Karamanidou Christina , Stamatopoulos Kostas , Xochelli Aliki
Published: July 2021

Patient empowerment is evident nowadays through the increased role undertaken by patients in the evaluation of healthcare, shaping health policy and involvement in clinical research. But are physicians willing and able to empower their patients? The biopsychosocial model offers a holistic approach to care by including the subjective experience of illness into clinical processes. Within this context, effective communication is key as it can contribute towards better clinical outcomes for patients as well as protect physicians from burnout due to emotional exhaustion. Hematological malignancies are the focus of this contribution as their nature and management pose serious challenges for patients to understand and physicians to explain. Physicians can play a pivotal role in encouraging patients' empowerment by educating them about their illness, supporting them in self-management and involving them in their care. Communication skills training, availability of consultation tools and e-health applications can support physicians in their new role.

The continued implementation of new technologies in social interaction presents an ever-escalating need for researchers and practitioners to understand the implications of mediated interaction and virtual communities on human health and wellbeing. Accordingly, this chapter presents research on the salience of communication and social bonds in relation to human health and wellbeing, explores ways in which individual as well as relational health and wellbeing are affected by the use of social network sites, and argues a case for research on the health-related functions of expressive narratives in virtual settings such as online social networks. Considerations and future directions for research of these issues conclude this chapter.
Media Awareness Preferences for Information on Sickle Cell Disorder Among University Students in Southwestern Nigeria
Authors: Ojomo Cynthia Omoseyitan , Babaleye Taye Babaleye
Published: July 2021

Sickle cell disorder (SCD) is a defective blood disorder that causes pain associated with blood genotypes of victims who risk dying before their 30th birthday. SCD is best controlled when victims avoid getting married to one another to prevent the spread of susceptible genotype. Many youths lack basic facts of SCD. For long, its awareness was limited to broadcast and print media. But today, social media platforms—Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp—are also used to create awareness on the disease. This study attempts to determine the preferred communication channels for creating awareness on SCD among university students in South-Western Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted. Respondents were 259 students of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, and University of Ibadan, both in South-West Nigeria. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Social media awareness was 51.6%, and conventional media was 48.4%. Thus, more of the respondents preferred awareness on SCD through social media platforms.
My Digital Healthcare Record
Authors: Medhekar Anita , Nguyen Julie
Published: July 2021

In the 21st century, the digital revolution is disrupting every sector of the economy. Australia has adopted the digital healthcare technological revolution such as My Health Record (MyHRC) to improve healthcare practice for clinicians/medical professionals and empower consumers to provide positive health management experience with a patient-centred approach to digital health revolution and digital literacy. My Health Record has its benefits, but it has been a challenge for the healthcare practitioners, hospital staff, as well as patients as consumers to accept, embrace, and uptake digital technologies and manage their healthcare records amidst concerns of slow adoption by the patient, data privacy, and implications of the secondary use of their personal data by non-government entities.
The Science of Individuality and Tailored M-Health Communication
Authors: Moumtzoglou Anastasius S.
Published: July 2021

The era of the science of individuality promises to fully recognize the uniqueness of the individual who needs to be seen and treated with utter respect for his or her individuality. It will not be long until digitizing a person unlocks the cause for what is wrong, creating valuable knowledge that can save a life or markedly improve the quality of life. On the other hand, emerging m-health technologies provide fundamentally different ways of looking at tailored communication technology. As a result, tailored communications research is poised at a crossroads. It needs to both build on and break away from existing frameworks into new territory, realizing the necessary commitment to theory-driven research at basic, methodological, clinical, and applied levels. The chapter envisions tailored m-health communication in the context of the science of individuality, emphasizing the variability, stability, and centrality of the individual.

Authors: Cosgun Gulcin , Atay Derin
Published: July 2021

Since induction programs are generally implemented for beginning teachers, those designed in response to experienced teachers' pedagogical needs are rare, and their impacts on these teachers are not so widely researched. This chapter reports the process of a one-year comprehensive induction program that is designed for 11 experienced teachers who are newly hired at the English preparation program of a highly competitive English medium university in Turkey and its impacts on the emotions of the participants. The study encompassed the concurrent embedded strategy of mixed methods approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and the positive and negative affect schedule (PANAS-SF). The present study has supported multiple aspects of previous data regarding induction programs for beginning teachers and provided valuable findings supporting the benefits that comprehensive induction programs that provide coaching and mentoring can bring for experienced EFL teachers when they start working in a new institution.
