The Efficiency of Online Assignments as an Asynchronous e-Learning Tool
Authors: FERSAOUI Imane , GHENIM Neema
Published: August 2024

The online learning experience that accompanied the Covid-19 pandemic has been diverse. Both teachers and students have had to discover new online learning methods and tools in order to cope with the new phase. Some teachers relied on virtual meetings and synchronous instruction, whereas others either solely relied on asynchronous instruction through e-assignments or combined the latter to other methods like synchronous e-meetings. While the integration of synchronous tools in distance instruction seems to be more relevant, asynchronous assignments may have an important potential in e-learning given that not all students can access the course at the same time. Indeed, one of the advantages of asynchronous e-assignments is learning anytime, anywhere. For this, the in-hand paper seeks to focus on online assignments and their efficiency to university EFL students. Our purpose is to discover how students view these assignments, and whether they are efficient in learning according to them. We also wish to investigate whether students prefer synchronous online meetings or asynchronous learning tools like e-assignments. In this regard, the sample is made up of fifth-year EFL students at ENSB. By and large, the main findings of this study demonstrate that the majority of EFL students consider asynchronous e-assignments as an efficient e-learning tool.
The Situation of Legal TranslationPost COVID-19
Authors: Al-Badou Hana
Published: August 2024

This research focused on the situation of legal translation post COVID-19. A quantitative research design is used with a questionnaire and 50 participants of the Jordanian and Algerian legal translators. The results of the research revealed that legal translation was affected strongly during COVID-19 and that according to the comprehensive ban and there was delay in the issues and legal transactions. But, at post COVID-19, there is a strong demand for legal translation, especially at the first period of stopping the comprehensive ban. Also, most of the legal documents were about immigration transactions to European countries according to the financial situation during and after COVID-19. Also, most of the customers were afraid of COVID-19, and stopped most of their legal operations and transactions until the end of COVID-19, and this directly affected the legal translation. Furthermore, the results revealed that the situation of legal translation became better and more active post COVID-19. As well, the researcher concluded that COVID-19 affected negatively on the legal translation and its effects stated to stop post COVID-19. Also, the comprehensive ban caused reduction of the work in the field of translation in general and in the field of legal translation specifically. As well, the active of legal translation backs to the normal situation post COVID-19.
The Identity Controversy in Literary Translation
Authors: شعال هوارية
Published: August 2024

Literary texts display many linguistic features, as well as social and cultural aspects of human lives, and thus we can assert that literary translation is one of the main ways of communication across cultures. Translating literary texts has been always viewed as a hard task. It constitutes an obstacle in the translating process. Therefore, translation in this context is not just a transfer of textual material from one language to another, but rather a cultural transfer, and even more, it is a transfer of identity. It is a process of cultural transfer that involves more than simple search for a semantic equivalent. Translators, therefore, have to take the sociolinguistic aspects of language into consideration, being aware of how these concepts are manifested in each culture. It makes a great challenge to the translator who is sometimes torn between the aesthetics and cultural components of both languages. Moreover, he finds himself lost between various identities. Which one should be kept? What is the role of the translator in achieving a settlement between all identities? He may be tempted to one identity and neglect another, so translation will lose its function. Accordingly, it depends on how he decodes the original text and interrogates its meaning through his view, the target culture and his profession. To clarify the issue, the study examines a novel translated from Arabic into English, For Bread Alone by the Moroccan novelist Mohamed Choukri. It is a novel in which the manifestations of identity between religious and social are differently manifested. Consequently, by strategies of foreignization and localization, the translator attempts to achieve a correct translation that preserves some of the characteristics of the original and respects the eligibility of the target reader. Translation does not create identity, but rather seeks to create a kind of harmony between the self and the other.

Published: August 2024

Academic writing is challenging to learn and challenging to teach. With the proliferation of graduate attributes and employability metrics throughout higher education, how is academic writing to be defined, valued, assessed and disseminated? This article situates academic writing into disciplinary literacies, aligned via information literacy, to enable, support and enhance a student writing culture. Noting the failures and challenges of online learning faced during and post- COVID-19, there is an opportunity to revise and reimagine student writing for new times. This article explores how teaching practices can evolve to provide a more meaningful, predictable and assessable undergraduate pathway for learners. Our goal is to anchor student writing with disciplinary literacies. Only when carefully connected can interdisciplinarity become possible.
Translating islamic religious expressions: Problems and strategies
Authors: Mohammed Abdullah Fadhel Alhaddad Sumayyah , Abdullah Gamal
Published: August 2024

This study is an attempt to investigate the problems that face the translator when translating Islamic religious expressions from Arabic into English. It also explicates the strategies that the translators used in dealing with such problems. The study is descriptive, comparative and evaluative and focuses on how Islamic expressions drawn from the Islamic Arabic book Bidāyat al-Hidāyahare translated by two different translators namely Muhammad Abul Quasem (1979) and Mashhad Al-Allaf (2010). Since the explored religious expressions are deeply rooted in their native culture and constitute a main part of the Arabic-Islamic identity, the findings of the study show that such expressions, in many cases, do not have equivalents in the target language and culture, and translating them into English is very problematic and pose a great challenge to the translator. The findings also reveal that meaning losses and distortions are the result of a host of reasons among which are the sensitivity and peculiarity of the religious expressions and the huge differences between Arabic and English.
Technology as a Mediator between the Teacher and the Learner in Fostering Educational Interaction
Authors: ZOUREZ Layla
Published: August 2024

The relationship between the teacher and learner has always been an issue under investigation for a plethora of reasons, most important of which is the centrality of this relation in the teaching/learning process. Teachers’ characteristics and learners’ expectations are essential conditions for positive teacher-learner relations. This reciprocal relationship, known as interaction, can take a number of forms, and is fulfilled via various ways. EFL research greatly emphasizes the advantages of all types of educational interaction and more specifically teacher student interaction. The traditional form of the latter is classroom interaction which takes place face-to-face. However, the change that is taking place in our world has equally affected our EFL classrooms including the pedagogical practices as well as the materials and media used in teaching. The use of technology has recently become omnipresent in EFL classrooms, and it is used by both teachers and learners. Connecting with their teachers via technology using smart phones or computers, learners can be more engaged in learning and ready for collaboration and positive interaction. This paper aims to investigate EFL teachers’ awareness towards incorporating technology for interactional purposes relying on the questionnaire as a means of research. The findings reveal teachers’ support and positive attitudes towards the importance of technology for EFL teaching and learning.

Literature and linguistics stand oppositely. They almost cannot be related, but nowadays Linguistics and Literature can stand in one field of study called Stylistics. From stylistics, literature can be interpreted in linguistic ways and otherwise. This research aims to know the influences of foreground features in the interpretation of modern poems written by Lang Leav (Clocks, Dear Love, and Patience) and analyze the properties of particular linguistic construction metaphors in the three poems. This research is descriptive qualitative research because it analyzed the foreground features, classified the metaphor structure, and described the interpretation of all foreground and metaphors found in the three poems. The source of data for this research is the poems entitled Clocks, Dear Love, and Patience. Meanwhile, the data is all clauses from the selected poems. This research applied total sampling as a technique of sampling data because the population of the sample is less than 100 data.The results found in this research are the foreground features affect the interpretation and could lead to a new perspective that cannot be reached by Literary Criticism and the mapped metaphor in the poems leads to a different perspective from where it first appeared.

Optimisation du processus de qualification des physiothérapeutes formés hors Canada : l’expérience de l’Université de Montréal
Authors: Lauzière Séléna , Besner Chantal , Gagnon Dany H.
Published: August 2024

La majorité des physiothérapeutes formés hors Canada doivent entreprendre un processus de qualification pour obtenir un permis de pratique de l’Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ). Avant 2014, l’accessibilité à une formation d’appoint qualifiante était insuffisante à l’Université de Montréal (UdeM). En effet, les personnes détentrices d’une prescription de formation étaient intégrées dans les cohortes du programme de physiothérapie avec une capacité d’accueil très limitée. Elles se butaient à une liste d’attente d’environ deux ans, leur parcours pouvant s’échelonner sur trois ans à temps partiel, et leur taux de réussite était faible (50 %). Pour résoudre ce problème, un programme de qualification professionnelle en physiothérapie (QPP) a été mis sur pied, menant à un certificat de 2e cycle reconnu par l’OPPQ en 2014. À ce jour, neuf cohortes ont complété le programme, soit plus de 144 personnes admises. L’objectif de cette contribution est de présenter le processus d’accompagnement offert aux personnes étudiantes du programme afin d’optimiser leur réussite ainsi que de présenter les retombées du programme (portrait des personnes admises, taux de réussite, durée des études, satisfaction des personnes étudiantes et de celles qui supervisent les stages, taux de placement). Le processus d’accompagnement semble avoir porté fruit puisque, depuis l’implantation du programme, les données montrent une augmentation importante du taux de réussite, un nombre de personnes complétant leur prescription annuellement qui a triplé et un très bon taux de placement post-formation.
La recherche en français au coeur des dynamiques de concurrence internationale : la perspective des chercheurs québécois1
Authors: Bégin-Caouette Olivier , Papi Cathia , Benhassine Eya
Published: August 2024

L’objectif de cet article est d’examiner l’influence perçue des facteurs qui favorisent ou contraignent la production et la diffusion de recherches en français dans les collèges et les universités du Québec. Les résultats tirés d’un questionnaire (n = 819) et d’entretiens (n = 8) suggèrent que les facteurs qui encouragent l’utilisation du français sont la maîtrise de la langue par les chercheurs et leurs collaborateurs, alors que les facteurs qui limitent cette utilisation sont les collaborations nationales et internationales, de même que le désir d’être lu, cité, reconnu, financé et de faire progresser sa carrière. Les entrevues ont notamment permis de distinguer l’utilisation du français comme langue de travail et comme langue de diffusion. Notre interprétation met en évidence que la langue est un objet social dont l’utilisation dépend de sa maîtrise par les personnes impliquées et des impératifs disciplinaires plutôt que des directives institutionnelles ou gouvernementales.
Le cadrage de l’enjeu linguistique dans la recherche et l’enseignement supérieur au Québec : tournants et continuités1
Authors: Hébert Virginie
Published: August 2024

À l’échelle mondiale, l’anglais tend à s’imposer comme langue privilégiée de l’enseignement supérieur et de la recherche scientifique. Au Québec, plusieurs établissements francophones offrent désormais des programmes complets en anglais et réservent à cette langue une place de choix dans leurs politiques linguistiques. Or, considérant la Charte de la langue française, qui fait du français la langue normale de l’enseignement, de nombreux observateurs s’interrogent sur cette tendance à l’anglicisation des institutions d’enseignement supérieur francophones. À l’aune du régime linguistique québécois, comment comprendre la place aujourd’hui accordée à l’anglais dans les discours et les politiques linguistiques des établissements d’enseignement supérieur? Dans une approche combinant l’analyse néo-institutionnelle et les théories du cadrage, cet article relève les moments de rupture et les éléments de continuité dans la manière dont les acteurs québécois de l’enseignement supérieur ont cadré l’enjeu linguistique depuis 1977, orientant ainsi la formulation des politiques linguistiques institutionnelles. L’article permet également de constater l’impact de la conjoncture internationale sur les discours des acteurs nationaux et le rôle actif de ces derniers en tant qu’agents de changements et de continuité.
Le bilinguisme concurrentiel et la minorisation systémique du français dans l’enseignement supérieur au Québec
Authors: Chevrier Marc , Lacroix Frédéric
Published: August 2024

Le présent article étudie le régime linguistique de l’enseignement supérieur au Québec, qui met en concurrence deux réseaux distincts et parallèles, anglais et français, et que subventionnent l’état québécois et accessoirement l’État fédéral canadien. L’étude retrace l’origine de ce bilinguisme concurrentiel que la loi 101 (Charte de la langue française) de 1977 a épargné pour le postsecondaire et auquel la loi 96 (Loi sur la langue officielle et commune du Québec, le français) a mis quelques balises, mais en consacrant la position dominante des cégeps anglais sur l’île de Montréal et en laissant le français à la régie interne des universités « francophones ». L’article documente la surcomplétude institutionnelle qui profite aux établissements postsecondaires anglais, dont le développement excède largement le poids démographique de la communauté historique anglophone, et qui minore le développement des établissements français. Cette minoration systémique a conduit au déclassement de l’Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) par l’Université Concordia et par une certaine érosion de la position des deux universités françaises (UQAM et Université de Montréal) sur l’échiquier universitaire montréalais.
Нефарадеевское магнитоэлектричество в контексте мезомеханики
Authors: Столбов О.В. , Райхер Ю.Л.
Published: August 2024

The paper outlines the physical basis of magnetoelectric conversion by means of the piezoelectric effect. The whole class of materials capable of such conversion is termed as multiferroics. An important group of those make composite media in which the ferromagnetic (or ferrimagnetic) and piezoelectric components dwell in close contact. The magnetic field, acting on the ferromagnet arises internal mechanical stresses via it, which are perceived by the other phase of the composite and launches the piezoelectric effect in it, i.e. makes the sample a source of potential difference. Whereas the ferromagnetic phase is always a solid substance, the piezophase can be not only a solid but also a polymer, and this expands considerably the application prospects of such convertors. Fundamental analysis shows that in a polymeric composite, ferromagnet particles under the action of an external field excite the piezoeffect in two ways simultaneously: through magnetostriction (change of the particle shape) and through a mechanical displacement of the particle body. Although these two methods are, in principle, independent, in a ferrite-polymer composite they always coexist, and under a given set of conditions their joint action might either enhance or reduce the conversion ef ficiency. This general conclusion is illustrated by the results of numerical modelling of the magnetoelectric effect in a composite film whose content mimics one of the currently best known polymer multiferroics: the dispersion of cobalt ferrite particles in a matrix of polyvinylidene fluoride (CFO-PVDF).

The use of silver diamine fluoride to prevent/treat enamel carious lesions: a narrative review
Authors: AlSheikh Rasha N.
Published: August 2024

This comprehensive literature review examines the use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) for the prevention and treatment of enamel carious lesions. SDF has been approved by different international drug associations as a caries-preventing agent to be used on deep carious lesions (dentin). However, SDF can cause staining of exposed tooth structures. Furthermore, the effect of SDF on the bond of adhesives to the tooth structure is still being determined. This review explores various studies on the use of SDF to treat enamel carious lesions, highlighting its effectiveness and preventive action. The literature suggests that SDF inhibits bacterial growth, promotes remineralization, and does not negatively affect adhesive retentions. Potassium iodide (KI) or glutathione (GSH) can reduce staining and discoloration. However, the reviewed studies have limitations. Further research, including well-designed clinical trials, is necessary to validate the findings and evaluate the long-term implications of SDF treatment. Conclusion: Despite the above-mentioned limitations, SDF shows potential as a therapy for enamel caries prevention, remineralization, and use as an adjuvant to other dental treatments, warranting further investigation and the refinement of application methods.

Published: August 2024

Prochloraz is a widely used fungicide worldwide. It is classified as an endocrine disrupting pesticide that affects the reproductive system. This study aimed to examine the impact of exposure to prochloraz of male mice on the reproductive system of their offspring male mice. Male father mice were intragastrically administered different dosages of prochloraz (group MA: 0 mg/kg/day; MB: 53.33 mg/kg/day; MD:160 mg/kg/day). Then, the testicular average weight of male offspring in the dose groups was found to be significantly lower than those in the control group (MB:0.312g, MD:0.294g, and MA:0.355 g; P < 0.05). Additionally, the testicular coefficient index in the MB and MD groups was also lower than that of the control group. Secondly,we observed that there were significantly different expressed genes clustered in groups B and D, in contrast to the control. Finally, the findings demonstrated a significant alteration in the response of male mice reproductive relative genes to prochloraz invasion. Two genes (Mt-nd6 and Slc12a4) were found to be involved in the regulation of sperm mitochondria function and six genes (Greb1, Esrrb, Catsperb, Mospd2, Sohlh1 and Specc1) were closely linked to sperm functions and estrogen response. The study revealed a significant impact of prochloraz on the reproductive system of male mice, thereby supporting further investigation into the reproductive toxicological effects of the drug.
Evaluation of the forces applied by rubber dam clamps on mandibular first molar teeth with different endodontic access cavities: a 3D FEA study
Authors: Eskibağlar Mehmet , Erdem Serkan , Karaağaç Eskibağlar Büşra , Kaman Mete Onur
Published: August 2024

Background

This study aimed to examine the effect of the force applied by rubber dam clamps made from different materials on mandibular first molar teeth with various designs of endodontic access cavities using finite element analysis.

Methods

A intact tooth (IT) and seven different endodontic access cavities namely, a traditional endodontic cavity (TRADAC), a guided endodontic cavity (GEC), a conservative endodontic cavity (CAC), an ultra-conservative access cavity (UAC), a truss access endodontic cavity (TRSAC), a mesial caries access cavity (MCAC), and a distal caries access cavity (DCAC), along with two different clamp finite element models, were created. The clamp models were made of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and stainless steel (SS). The forces applied by the clamps were calculated based on the axial section distance of the tooth, and these forces were applied to the contact areas on the tooth. Stress distribution models were calculated using maximum von Mises (vM) stress.

Results

The lowest vM stress under the forces applied by the SS and PEEK clamps was found in the IT model (80.914 MPa) with the PEEK clamp. The highest vM stress was found in the DCAC model (759.49 MPa) applied with the SS clamp. The forces applied by SS clamps resulted in higher vM stress values in every cavity design than those applied by PEEK clamps.

Conclusion

PEEK clamps generated less force than SS clamps. However, clinicians should follow various isolation strategies (clamp made of different materials, split dam, etc.) according to different cavity types of the tooth.

Antecedentes: El Compromiso Organizacional (CO), se considera un vÃ­nculo entre la organizaciÃ³n y los trabajadores, e influye en la satisfacciÃ³n, el desempeÃ±o, la productividad y la inversiÃ³n profesional. Objetivo: Determinar el compromiso organizacional en profesionales y tÃ©cnicos en enfermerÃ­a adscritos a un hospital del sur de chile, aÃ±os 2022-2023. MetodologÃ­a: Estudio de corte transversal, en una muestra de 305 funcionarios. La recolecciÃ³n de la informaciÃ³n se realizÃ³ con el instrumento compromiso organizacional de Meyer y Allen (1991), puntuaciÃ³n segÃºn escala Likert de 5 puntos, donde 1 corresponde a â€œtotalmente en desacuerdoâ€ y 5 es â€œtotalmente de acuerdoâ€; anÃ¡lisis con estadÃ­stica descriptiva e inferencial. Estudio autorizado por el ComitÃ© de Ã©tica cientÃ­fica. Resultados y discusiÃ³n: El instrumento logrÃ³ consistencia interna adecuada, mediante alfa de Cronbach. El CO observado fue â€œneutral o indiferenteâ€ con tendencia a â€œde acuerdoâ€, segÃºn escala Likert. El Compromiso Afectivo (CA) fue superior respecto a los demÃ¡s dominios. El Compromiso Normativo (CN) del nivel tÃ©cnico mostrÃ³ ser fuerte, asÃ­ como los funcionarios divorciados y viudos. El Compromiso de Continuidad (CC) resultÃ³ ser el dominio con promedio mÃ¡s bajo. A mayor edad, aumentÃ³ el CA. Conclusiones: los funcionarios mostraron un nivel medio de compromiso organizacional con tendencia a alto, por lo que se debe fortalecer el lazo afectivo del binomio funcionario/organizaciÃ³n, de manera que juegue un papel positivo en la calidad de la atenciÃ³n otorgada hacia sus usuarios.

OBJETIVO: Determinar la asociaciÃ³n entre la carga laboral de enfermerÃ­a, gravedad del paciente, y mortalidad en una unidad de pacientes crÃ­ticos (UPC) de un hospital pÃºblico en Chile. METODOLOGÃA: Estudio retrospectivo, correlacional, que analizÃ³ fichas clÃ­nicas de pacientes de una UPC. Se recolectaron variables demogrÃ¡ficas, clÃ­nicas, gravedad de paciente (APACHE II) y carga de trabajo de enfermerÃ­a (TISS-28) al ingreso del paciente. Se realizaron anÃ¡lisis descriptivos y bivariados. Se utilizaron regresiones logÃ­sticas para identificar las variables asociadas a mortalidad en la UPC y hospitalaria. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 311 pacientes con una mediana de 7 dÃ­as (RIQ=9.5) de estadÃ­a en la UPC. Un 48.9% ingreso desde el servicio de urgencia y un 25,7% tuvo un diagnostico neurolÃ³gico. El puntaje TISS-28 se asociÃ³ positivamente con el del APACHE II (r=.359, p<.001) y los dÃ­as de estadÃ­a en UPC (r=.146, p<.05). En los modelos de regresiÃ³n, la mortalidad en UPC estuvo asociada con el puntaje APACHE II (OR=1.109, p<.001) y el TISS-28 (OR=0.955, p<.05). Los puntajes de APACHE II y TISS-28 no se asociaron significativamente con la mortalidad hospitalaria. CONCLUSIÃ“N: Una mayor gravedad del paciente critico se asociÃ³ con un aumento en la carga de trabajo de enfermerÃ­a. La mortalidad en UPC se asociÃ³ negativamente con la carga de trabajo en enfermerÃ­a, pero positivamente con la gravedad de paciente. La carga de trabajo de enfermerÃ­a es una variable relevante en el desenlace del paciente crÃ­tico por lo que debe evaluarse regularmente y de este modo, asegurar dotaciones que respondan a las demandas asistenciales del paciente en la UPC.

INTRODUCCIÓN. La atención de urgencia reviste características particulares, conjugándose múltiples factores que impactan en la calidad del servicio prestado, siendo su evaluación crucial para mejorar la satisfacción de los usuarios. No obstante, la utilización de encuestas no siempre logra profundizar la experiencia del paciente y del personal que presta el servicio. OBJETIVO. Conocer la calidad percibida por los usuarios de un servicio de urgencia de una clínica privada de Chile. METODOLOGÍA. Investigación cualitativa, descriptiva en la que participaron 20 pacientes, cinco familiares y diez integrantes del equipo de salud. Para la recolección de datos se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas y observación no participante. Se utilizó un enfoque inductivo para analizar los datos, realizando codificación selectiva y axial en base a siete categorías predefinidas basadas en las dimensiones de calidad. RESULTADOS. Del análisis de los discursos se obtuvieron seis categorías y 16 subcategorías de calidad de atención, siendo las más relevantes la oportunidad, la calidez, el confort y calidad técnica y capacidad resolutiva. En el caso del personal de salud, emergió la violencia por parte de pacientes o familiares como un factor relevante que impacta negativamente en la calidad. CONCLUSIÓN. Existió coincidencia en la percepción del personal de salud, pacientes y familiares. Se identificaron como fortalezas la amabilidad del personal, así como la accesibilidad y oportunidad de la información al paciente respecto de los procesos de atención. Se detectaron oportunidades de mejora relacionadas a los tiempos de espera, la presencia de especialistas y a la privacidad que ofrecen los boxes de atención.

OBJETIVO: Identificar factores promotores, dificultades y estrategias para el inicio y continuación de la lactancia materna (LM), en base a la experiencia de mujeres lactantes. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio cualitativo fenomenológico realizado en la Región de Murcia (España) en el 2019. Se reclutaron a veintisiete mujeres que alimentaron a sus hijos/as con LM en el periodo de 2012-2018 mediante una asociación de LM y un muestreo de bola de nieve. Se realizaron entrevistas personales abiertas y un análisis temático de las transcripciones. RESULTADOS: Se estructuraron en tres temas: 1) Facilidades para el inicio y mantenimiento de la LM, 2) Dificultades ante la LM y 3) Estrategias utilizadas por las mujeres para solventar las barreras. Mientras que la motivación para amamantar y el apoyo recibido facilitaron la LM, las barreras más comunes se relacionaron con miedos e inseguridades personales, cansancio, problemas físicos y la respuesta social frente a la LM. Los motivos de abandono fueron el déficit de producción de leche, la incorporación laboral y la actitud del bebé. Las participantes desarrollaron autocuidados, búsqueda de información y asociaciones de LM y estrategias de conciliación familiar-laboral para paliar las dificultades. CONCLUSIÓN: Es necesaria una mayor implicación por parte de las/os profesionales de la salud para apoyar a las mujeres a través de la herramienta de educación para la salud, el apoyo por pares y medidas institucionales que favorezcan la LM en el lugar de trabajo.
