Re(Searching) Meaning: An Aesthetic Approach to Teaching and Learning Outside of the Box
Authors: Yu Geralyn (Gigi)
Published: February 2022

This paper describes the collective aesthetic practices of an early childhood art educator and teachers in a public school context, inspired by the principles of the Reggio Emilia approach. A related purpose here is to reflect on and re-examine the educators’ professional growth while developing these practices. This study begins with the author’s personal experiences as an early childhood art educator. The other educators in the study also reflect on their aesthetic approaches toward teaching and learning prior to the adoption of a district-wide, prescribed “boxed” early childhood curriculum. The purpose of this article is to make visible what was lost with the shift to a boxed curriculum, including the aesthetic practices and negotiated learning experiences co-constructed with the children. In contrast to the boxed, prescribed curriculum, an aesthetic approach toward teaching and learning brought a heightened awareness of everyday school experiences through an engagement of the senses, imagination, and feelings. What was lost in the shift was the value of aesthetics as an integral part of educational experiences for both the children and the educators, including the freedom to wonder, to sustain curiosity, and to imagine alternate ways of being and learning together.
Interfacing Artistic Freedom, Censorship, and Pedagogy: An Interview With Artist-Teacher Chikonzero Chazunguza
Authors: Mamvuto Attwell
Published: February 2022

Artistic freedom and censorship are correlated constructs that are overtly and covertly applied, arguably, for the proper functioning of society. This is reflected in the cliché “the more censorship there is, the less freedom is accorded to the artist.” While the artist demands their artistic freedom as espoused in democratic principles, the censor argues that it is their obligation to control the content of artistic expression for various reasons. The ensuing contention impacts on curricula content and teachers’ pedagogical initiatives. In this paper, I explore the views of a renowned Zimbabwean contemporary visual artist-teacher, Chikonzero Chazunguza, on the interconnectedness of the social pillars of artistic freedom, censorship, and pedagogy, and their benefit to art education. I attempt to decipher the nexus between censorship and artistic freedom.
Land-Based Art Criticism: (Un)learning Land Through Art
Authors: Bae-Dimitriadis Michelle
Published: February 2022

This article provides an overview of how land-based settler colonial critique can reorient art criticism and art education to expand the scope of art and art practice to critical considerations of land politics and social justice, particularly in terms of the repatriation of Indigenous lands. In particular, land-based perspectives can help to rethink place/land by offering decolonizing methods for critiquing Western works of art that address place. Art educators’ ability to understand and critique settler colonialism in art has been hindered by Eurocentric art criticism. This article seeks to reveal settler colonial imperatives and ambitions regarding land through a critical analysis of American landscape paintings and land art. This piece further examines contemporary Indigenous artists’ site-specific works through adopting decolonial, land-based inquiry. Land-based art criticism interrupts the dominant mode of art inquiry to more comprehensively analyze art associated with place/land and expand the scope of social, cultural, and political understandings of social equity.
Livecasting without the live: The multiple temporalities of National Theatre At Home
Authors: Byrne Sarah
Published: February 2022

Since the 2009 launch of NT Live, the National Theatre has been at the forefront of UK livecasting so the calls to respond to the complete lockdown of the UK in March 2020 weren’t surprising. This paper will analyse how this pandemic response utilised the multiple temporalities of NT Live to create a theatrical event in viewers’ homes. Despite using past recordings, the NT At Home programme was a response to a specific historical event and was structured around an “ontological now” that in return shaped the reception of those recordings. NT Live capitalised on the liveness and the exclusivity of their broadcasts.  Performances were shown at a set time, streamed simultaneously into cinemas. NT At Home challenged every part of this system of liveness and in doing so created its own contradictory and fluid temporal identity. In this paper I will draw on liveness studies from multiple disciplines to cover three aspects of these new temporalities and present a case study of liveness practice.

Performare lo squat. I luoghi culturali occupati come esercizio di liveness e democrazia.
Authors: Pastore Sara
Published: February 2022

Assumendo l’intrinseca democraticità della svolta performativa delle arti – la quale eccede il principio della proprietà privata sia per l’artista che per il fruitore – il presente contributo intende esplorare le esperienze in cui la creazione dell’artista si realizza nella sua abilitazione alla creazione collettiva, mobilitando il concetto di liveness come presenza e partecipazione. Il contributo, a seguito di una tipizzazione delle varie possibili declinazioni della pratica di squatting, intende restringere il focus sulla sua versione culturale, in quanto metodo performativo teso ad obiettivi estetici, comunicativi e politici. Attraverso l’interpretazione ermeneutica dei presupposti e del funzionamento di tali esperienze, nonchè il riferimento – seppur sintetico, per motivi di economicità della ricerca –  a casi di cultural squatting sul territorio italiano, sarà restituita una lettura di questi che li propone come momenti di attivazione e spazi d’intersezione dei diversi livelli di liveness, messi a disposizione nell’abilitazione dell’agency culturale e politica del pubblico in quanto collettività.

Ten in the morning is not the most usual time for a press view to open, nor is the requirement to show ID and Vaccination Pass, but at the Palazzo Cipolla (lit. “Onion Palace”) on the Corso del Rinascimento in the centre of Rome, this was the  the routine to see an intriguing show of work by David Quayola, an Italian digital artist, long resident in London, but here displaying a variety of pieces made over the last fourteen years. Suffice to say there was not an ice filled dustbin of Peroni bottles in sight.

A Transnational Socialist Solidarity: Chittaprosad’s Prague Connection
Authors: Wille Simone
Published: February 2022

The Indian artist Chittaprosad Bhattacharya (1915–1978) is best known for his visual reportages on the Bengal famine in 1943–1944. As a member of the Communist Party of India (CPI), Chittaprosad’s historic documents of the famine, in the form of sketches, texts and linocuts, were produced in line with the party’s demand for revolutionary popular art to mobilize the masses by means of posters as well as journalistic and documentary-style reports. Many of these works were published in the communist journals People’s War and People’s Age. This is how they circulated among intellectuals and a general readership. Chittaprosad can be situated within a socially responsive practice that is distinctive for one line of development characteristic of his native Bengal, notably represented by artists such as Zainul Abedin (1914–1976) and Somnath Hore (1921–2006). While these artists have produced compelling images in response to political crisis, the Bengal famine, and peasant rebellions, Chittaprosad’s recognition and fame gained in pre-partition India—unlike that of Abedin and Hore—was not carried into the post-partition era. His dissociation from the CPI in 1948, along with the general atmosphere in postcolonial India, with its concerns for signatures of national-modern art, left little room for a former party artist. This, I will argue, instigated him to build on a network beyond the national frame. The group of individuals from Prague that became aware of and interested in Chittaprosad around that time actively supported his career from this point on. This is how his work increasingly circulated within a transnational network that was marked by solidarity with a socialist outlook and paired with a curiosity for traditional and folk arts. These very personal connections exceeded his lifetime, and most of the documents, book illustrations, poems, and artworks related to this have not yet been studied or published.
Development of Mindset Theory Scale (Growth And Fixed Mindset): A Validity and Reliability Study (Turkish Version)
Authors: YILMAZ Ercan
Published: February 2022

This study aims to develop a valid and reliable measurement instrument to measure the quality of Mindset Theories of students aged 14- 22. A systematic approach was followed to develop the measurement tool. 1145 students participated in the study (48% were female and 52% were male). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were applied to determine the scale's construct validity. As a result of exploratory factor analysis, the scale was determined to consist of 19 items and four sub-dimensions. In line with the literature, these dimensions are called Procrastination, Immutability of Belief, Belief in Improvement and Effort. The four-factor structure of the scale was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. In addition, it was found that the differences between the averages of the upper and lower groups that make up 27% of the scale items are significant. When the results of the reliability analyses were examined from the perspective of the factors of the mindset theory scale, the values of 0.724 for the Procrastination sub-dimension and 0.805 for the Immutability of Belief sub-dimension of the Fixed Mindset dimension were found. It was found 0.701 for the sub dimension of Effort and 0.771 for the sub dimension of Belief of Mindset Theory Scale’s Growth Mindset dimension. The internal consistency coefficient was found 0.723 for the Fixed Mindset dimension and 0.714 for the Growth Mindset dimension of the Mindset Theory Scale. These results shows that the Mindset Theory Scale measures students' mindset theories in a valid and reliable way.

Load Balancing and its Algorithms in Cloud Computing Environment: A Survey
Authors: M Vedanth
Published: February 2022

In this paper, the performance of cloud computing system is greatly influenced by the problem of load balancing. The complexity class of the load balancing problem with respect to the complexity class belongs to the NP-system complete which involves intensely huge search space with huge number of potential solutions and also to find the optimal solution, it takes longer time. Based on these circumstances, there is no methodology to solve the problem. A load balancer is like a “traffic cop” which directs the traffic to avoid a situation where few servers are overloaded while few are idle. Proper load balancing can ensure maximum throughput in minimum response time. This paper is a critical review of all the existing techniques of load balancing and comparison between them. Keywords – cloud computing, load balancing, load balancing algorithms (static and dynamic), smart load balancing.

Authors: Dimitrakaki Ioanna
Published: February 2022

The aim of this project was to examine firms’ growth strategies followed by Greek enterprises, focusing in the case of KriKri SA: a firm that produces dairy products located in Serres, a province of North Greece. The analysis was based exclusively in the usage of secondary data. The result indicated that KriKri follows four types of growth strategies, namely: 1) Market penetration, 2) New product development, 3) Diversification, and 4) International Growth. The firm has successfully implemented the aforementioned practices and this is reflected in its overall business performance (Sales, Profits, EBITDA, etc.). In conclusion, the project highlighted the importance of growth for firms and organizations as a key element for increasing their profitability and ensuring their viability. It is also indicative that the firm achieved a substantial growth despite the economic crisis that affected negatively the Greek economy (OECD, 2021) and the appearance of the COVID 19 outbreak.

Transformation of Societal Consciousness
Authors:   International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Sassin Wolfgang
Published: February 2022

Since 1969 in science and politics, the humanity ceased to understand profound transformations in its self-awareness because of the abrupt revolutionary alterations in the frame of reference in which the communities were defined. The maxim “Man, subdue thy Earth” was tacitly changed to “Mankind, subdue thy individuals.” We recognise that mental depravation of societal consciousness is the critical precondition transforming the human EGO, no matter, I or WE.

Published: February 2022

Jimmie Åkesson and his party, the Sweden Democrats (SD), are not yet authentically democratic. They are still “the same old iron gang as usual” despite concerted efforts to change their image. Of course, Åkesson has steered the SD away from the Nazi movement onto a more parliamentary path. But its essence – alarmist resistance to immigrants and Islamophobia – has remained the same, and there is still no solid indication that Åkesson has matured or moderated over the years.

Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Watmough Simon P.
Published: February 2022

Jair Bolsonaro has become notorious for his incendiary comments on women and minority rights, and his misogynistic and homophobic views are well-known. His caustic views and “macho swagger” have been amplified by his social media presence and distinctive approach to self-representation. He is without a doubt Brazil’s first “social media president,” echoing in many ways Trump in his use of such platforms. He is often compared to other strongmen — most famously as the “Tropical Trump” — however, his most obvious likeness is President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines.
Using Corpora in Teaching Languages to Enhance Competency in English as a Foreign Language with Focus on English for Business and Economics
Authors: Duruttya Michaela
Published: February 2022

The necessity to be competent in understanding and interpreting written as well as spoken English language is vital in our society. There are many methods and approaches set to confront this particular demand, one of which corpus linguistics addresses in a highly efficient way. Corpora can be used to study purposes with which words are used in a text and the circumstances under which they are used. This work considers the advantages of using corpora, carefully and meticulously designed collections of written texts, in teaching a foreign language, thus promoting cross-cultural competency. Recent development in communication and the requirements for growing intercultural cooperation bring demands on today’s society to be able to communicate in an effective way. Languages are the most prominent part of one’s culture, that is why it is imperative to master them as well as possible to avoid ambiguities and misunderstandings. This paper shows an introduction of a possible approach to accomplish this task, demonstrating methods and views upon a tiny fraction of features of language utilizing available data concentrating on some aspects of using an online corpus, namely the British National Corpus, to provide a communicative context in language learning, focusing on English as a second language with special emphasis on English for business and economics.
Corpus-based teaching materials for specialised courses: the case of English for mathematicians
Authors: Malá Lucie
Published: February 2022

This paper demonstrates a usage-based approach, drawing on language corpora, to creating teaching materials. The need for such materials stems from the growing demand for courses of English for specific purposes on one hand, and the surprising lack or inadequacy of available materials for these courses on the other hand. On the example of English for mathematicians, we present three different types of exercises. First, we show deductive exercises for practising an already familiar rule. Second, we focus on the creation of an exercise where students start with a general rule but derive more specific information from specifically chosen examples. Finally, we present a fully inductive exercise, aimed at familiarising the students with the structures specific of the texts from their discipline. We believe that these exercises may serve as a source of inspiration for other teachers of English for specific purposes who find themselves in a similar situation.
The effect of two feedback strategies on EFL writing quality from the perspective of syntactic complexity
Authors: Pojslova Blanka
Published: February 2022

This paper aims to present the results of the study investigating the efficacy of computer-mediated feedback on EFL learners' performance in writing with regard to syntactic complexity as an aspect of writing quality. The research design of the study took the form of a pre-test/post-test quasi-experiment with two comparison groups which received different treatments. The participants of the study were 65 advanced EFL learners of English for Specific Purposes who were divided into two groups. The first group (33 students) was provided with the treatment in the form of teacher-only multiple-draft feedback while the other group (32 students) was given the treatment in the form of combined peer-teacher multiple-draft feedback.The study investigated if there were any differences in syntactic complexity at a global, a clausal and a phrasal level between pre-test and post-test and what the implications of these differences for writing quality were in individual groups together with comparing the differences between the groups. Syntactic complexity was automatically measured by selected indices of L2 Syntactic Complexity Analyzer (Lu, 2010), a freely available natural language processing tool. The study yielded four major findings. First, the results indicate some statistically significant improvements in writing quality with regard to syntactic complexity and with respect to the proficiency level of the participants in both groups. Second, syntactic complexity developed in both groups between the pre-test and post-test, but with no significant difference in post-test performance between the comparison groups. Third, teacher-only feedback seems to be more effective at the global and phrasal level of syntactic complexity while combined peer-teacher feedback is more effective at the clausal level. Finally, teacher-only feedback contributed to more homogenous post-test writing production.

Incidence of Cytomegalovirus DNAemia in Pediatric Post–Renal Transplant Patients Receiving Weight-Based vs Body Surface Area–Based Valganciclovir Chemoprophylaxis
Authors: Thomas Amber N. , Nguyen Phu B. , Miller Jamie L. , Neely Stephen B. , Lewis Teresa V.
Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVE

To determine the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNAemia and disease, identify potential risk factors, and assess the safety and efficacy of weight-based valganciclovir dosing in pediatric post–renal transplant patients.

METHODS

This single-center, retrospective study included patients ≤21 years who received a kidney transplant between January 1, 2011, and November 1, 2019, with 3 to 24 months of follow-up data. Demographics and clinical characteristics were collected to assess for potential risk factors. Descriptive statistics and logistic regressions were used to determine rates of CMV DNAemia considering clinical characteristics and chemoprophylaxis.

RESULTS

Fifty-seven patients were included. The incidence of CMV DNAemia was 43.9%. Cytomegalovirus seropositive status was associated with increased risk of CMV DNAemia. Patients receiving valganciclovir for <150 days had 8.33 (95% CI, 1.68–41.29) greater odds of developing CMV DNAemia than patients receiving valganciclovir for 180 ± 30 days, p = 0.01. The median time to detectable CMV PCR after transplant was 140 days (range, 12–511 days). Cytomegalovirus DNAemia was not statistically different between those receiving weight-based vs FDA-approved valganciclovir dosing; however, patients receiving the FDA-approved dosing were more likely to develop neutropenia. Among the intermediate-risk group, the adjusted relative risk of CMV DNAemia was 0.62 (95% CI, 0.36–1.09) for those not receiving chemoprophylaxis compared with those who did.

CONCLUSIONS

Risk of CMV DNAemia is higher among patients receiving valganciclovir for <150 days. Further exploration of weight-based valganciclovir dosing for CMV chemoprophylaxis in high- and intermediate-risk post–renal transplant patients is needed to minimize adverse drug effects while maintaining efficacy.

Published: February 2022

We present the case of a breast-fed preterm infant with postnatally acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) and severe necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) associated with CMV. The infant had persistent severe thrombocytopenia with clinical deterioration despite multiple platelet transfusions and maximal medical treatment. Surgical intervention was not feasible owing to the instability of the infant's condition. Upon identification of CMV in urine, intravenous ganciclovir was initiated with significant clinical improvement. We also present a literature review of cases of CMV-related NEC or other gastrointestinal complications in preterm and term infants.
Stress, Resilience, and Satisfaction in Families of Children with Disabilities
Authors: Llauradó Esther Vela , Suárez Riveiro José Manuel
Published: February 2022

Background: A child’s disability can have significant consequences for the family, especially at an emotional level and in day-to-day life. Families must adapt to ever-changing circumstances, frequently leading to stress within the family. Each family member must attempt to cope with these circumstances, drawing on cognitive and behavioral resources to deal with new situations.

Objectives: This work aims to study stress, resilience, and satisfaction within the families of children with and without disabilities. It also analyzed these aspects depending on the type of disability (intellectual, physical, autism spectrum disorder, and multiple disabilities).

Methods: The sample consisted of 299 families, of whom 178 had a child with a disability and 121 without any disability. The study used the Parenting Stress Index – Short Form (PSI-FS) and the Saavedra-Villalta Resilience Scale (SV-RES). Satisfaction was measured using two items evaluating family satisfaction in general and the perceived satisfaction of the child in particular.

Results: The results show that families having a child with a disability reported higher levels of resilience but lower levels of stress and family satisfaction. Moreover, differences were observed depending on the type of disability, with those affected by intellectual disability showing higher levels of stress and lower levels of resilience.

Conclusion: The study results show the importance of resilience in dealing with adverse situations that may produce stress. This is an important aspect that must be considered in work and interventions with families of children with disabilities.

Authors:   Department of Physiology, Sri Devaraj Urs Academy of higher education & Research, Tamaka Kolar, Karnataka, 563103, Pagadala Pravallika
Published: February 2022

Fluorosis is a metabolic disease that is endemic in nearly 25 countries with India being one of the most affected. It primarily affects the bone and the teeth. Moringa oleifera (MO) leaves are known to reduce the effect of fluorosis on various tissues. Therefore, it is of interest to document the effect of Moringa oleifera leaves on the hematological profile of fluorosis affected rats. Twenty four Sprague Dawley rats were housed two per cage in a room with 12 hours light and 12 hours dark cycle. The rats were allowed to adjust to the laboratory environment for about one to two weeks before the beginning of the study. This study reveals that MO leaves is effective in reducing the plasma fluoride content. It also helps in improving the Hb % and RBC count in fluorosis affected rats. Data shows that Moringa olifera leaves powder is effective in reducing the plasma fluoride content. It also helps in improving the Hemoglobin percentage & Red Blood Cell count in fluorosis affected rats.

Prolonged physical exercise has the risk of increasing free radicals which will affect the breakdown of red blood cells and promote the risk of decreased hemoglobin. Adolescent female athletes have a risk of decreasing hemoglobin due to menstruation. This situation can get worse if the athletes have iron defi-ciency or anemia as the result of poor diet choice. Increased radicals and anemia affect the amount of oxygen carried to the tissues and the maximum volume of oxygen an individual can use to produce energy (VO2 max). Beets have benefits for athlete's performance and have been developed into an instant drink. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an instant FeSO4 fortified beet juice (BeeFe juice) in overcoming anemia on female adolescent athletes. This research using an experimental study with controlled trial pre-posttest design. Twenty-nine adolescent female athletes, aged 13-19 years, were divided into two groups. Fe tablet supplementation (containing Fe 60 mg) was given to 15 athletes in the control group and BeeFe juice (containing Fe 17 mg) was given to 14 athletes in the treatment group du-ring the luteal and menstruation phase (±14 days). Hemoglobin levels, Malondialdehyde (MDA) and maxi-mal oxygen volume (VO2 max) were examined before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-test and independent t-test IBM SPSS version 22. This research has obtained Ethical Appro-val with number KE/FK/0633/EC/2018 from the Ethical Commission of FKKMK UGM. The results showed no significant difference between the group given Fe tablets and the group given BeeFe juice on hemo-globin levels (P>0.05), MDA levels (P>0.05), and VO2 max levels (P>0.05) in the menstrual and luteal phases of menstruation. It can be concluded that BeeFe juice has the same effectiveness as commercial Fe tablets. BeeFe juice can be an alternative food ingredient in iron supplementation.
Bullying - transformative potentiality?
Authors: Mathiassen Charlotte
Published: February 2022

In this article, I argue that a person’s experience of having been bullied as a child can holdtransformative potentiality. This means that childhood exposure to bullying can both producenegative effects and provide fuel for transformative intention and actions. By exploring twoseparate narratives, I demonstrate how these individuals’ different ways of handling past incidentsare entangled with both present and future, as well as how they are closely connected to both thespecific situations and contexts in which the person lives and his/her movements across suchsituations and contexts. The concept of dynamic effectuality is introduced to describe thisphenomenon. Furthermore, I claim that, by analysing the dynamic effectuality of individuals’ pastexperiences with bullying and their present adult lives, certain processes can be found – includingrevenge, transformative intention and collective transformative actions.
The Interplay of Developmental and Dialogical Epistemologies
Authors: Engeström Ritva
Published: February 2022

The paper examines Developmental Work Research (DWR) –based interventions from theperspective of qualitative research. The motive comes from two directions. First, the DWR hasturned the scientific focus quite early toward trans- and interdisciplinary collaboration andmethodology. However, the approach has been recognized more through its intervention theoryand practice, and less as a particular research design, which can contribute to qualitativeresearch strategy. Second, there is a trend towards one-dimensional evidence-based approach,which foregrounds standards of methods in the context of new public management of science.The paper views developmental interventions as representing an alternative way of research withthe practice-inspired methodology offering practice-based source of evidence. To examine morethis alternative the paper deals with the question how developmental interventions can beconsidered research designs that make context and dialogue the basis of research. Consideringthe DWR methodology, the paper argues that although dialogue is central in actualizing anintervention, dialogical epistemology has remained as underdeveloped in the approach. Thepaper focuses on dialogicality and sense making in developmental interventions examining theprocesses of anchoring and objectification, object in relation to personal sense, and how theindividual and collective processes are linked and coexist in the complex relationship betweenpragmatic activity and social processes. As illustrations of ideas, pieces of data from conducteddevelopmental interventions are used.

Using interviews and group discussions, researchers and students from the Free University of Berlin and psychological practitioners work together in a project called 'The Analysis of Psychological Practice', theoretically based on 'Critical Psychology'. The aim is to find out whether and how practitioners deal with the contradictions between experimental-statistical orientation of traditional academic psychology and the single-case-orientation of psychological practice. Can practitioners relate to 'scientific' psychology at all? How do they deal with the contradiction that psychological practitioners are expected to cure psychological problems without having the possibility to change objective conditions with reference to which alone psychological problems are understandable? How are 'official' academic or clinical theories and individual or team-related experiences combined? What can we learn from the explication and development of a 'social-subjective knowledge of the context and contradictions' of professional practitioners of psychology? We discuss theoretical foundations and problems in the empirical development of the project, and resent - from our workshop - three examples or dimensions of our work: life problems, problems of and alternatives to traditional diagnostics, and common sense normative ideas in the guise of psychological theories.
Disruption and Disposition in Lifelong Learning

UK government policies for social inclusion through engaging with the learning society aim at repositioning people as capable participants in their social worlds. These policies at first sight appear to be aimed at a sophisticated restructuring of social contexts as well as at an enhancing of individual learning. However there is a degree of conceptual confusion within these policies. In this paper we explore some of the tensions evident in a study of a family learning centre in an English city. In the exploration we examine the extent to which the tools offered by sociocultural and activity theory (SAT) can assist in resolving that conceptual confusion and how SAT itself might need to develop in order to analyse complex and sustained forms of intervention.
Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language in Its Diglossic Situation: Is Formal Spoken Arabic an Ideal Solution?
Authors: Al-Zaghir Zainab , Reda Ghsoon
Published: February 2022

Due to the complex diglossic situation in Arabic, the question of what variety of the language to teach has always occupied a central position in work on teaching Arabic as a foreign language (AFL). Basic Standard Arabic may have been the most supported answer to the above question, but the field is not short of proposals for teaching dialectal varieties. Moreover, in quest of a way to help learners achieve full “Functionally Native Proficiency” (Ryding 1991, 216), Formal Spoken Arabic (FSA) was proposed as a bridge between a standard variety and a dialectal one. The present study argues against such a proposal at beginner levels on the following grounds: (1) FSA is different from the standard and dialectal varieties of Arabic and (2) FSA users can always shift to their dialectal varieties and employ features lying beyond AFL learners’ scope of competence. The argument is supported by examining variation in the use of the Arabic relative clause induced by the tendency toward different relativisation strategies (i.e. the pronoun retention strategy or the gap strategy) in different Arabic varieties. Considering that the relative clause can be embedded into any construction to modify a head noun, variation in its use can affect learners’ ability to make sense of the language input. This variation is demonstrated by examples selected from texts written in Classical Arabic, Modern Classical Arabic, and Iraqi Arabic. The study has implications for AFL course writers.
Language Tests in the Arabic-speaking World: Between Ideology and Language Policy
Authors: Solimando Cristina
Published: February 2022

A system of language assessment may be used as a mechanism for affecting language policy. Language tests convey messages and ideologies that regard prestige, priorities and hierarchies, and they generally lead to the suppression of diversity (Shohamy 2007). The relationship between tests and language policy, based mainly on the criteria used for judging language quality through rating scales, guidelines and other frameworks, leads to a view of language as standardized and homogenous. From this perspective, language tests can serve as tools that negotiate and mediate between ideology and practice. In the Arabic-speaking world language tests have only recently been introduced, although very few Arab countries have shown an interest in developing the necessary means to evaluate language performance levels. In this paper the language tests developed by the Arab Academy, the UAE National Center for Assessment (Markaz al-Waṭanī li-l-Qiyās), the Mother Tongue Center (Markaz al-Lisān al-Umm), the Jordan al-Naǧāḥ National University (Ǧāmiʿat al-Naǧāḥ al-Waṭaniyya) and the King Saʿūd University will be taken into consideration in order to determine any ideological orientation in test objectives, content and rationale. Particular attention will be paid to communicative skills within a general framework of linguistic variation in the Arabic-speaking world.
An Evaluation of Pixel-based and Object-based Classification Methods for Land Use Land Cover Analysis Using Geoinformatic Techniques

Land use land cover (LULC) classification is a valuable asset for resource managers; in many fields of study, it has become essential to monitor LULC at different scales. As a result, the primary goal of this work is to compare and contrast the performance of pixel-based and object-based categorization algorithms. The supervised maximum likelihood classifier (MLC) technique was employed in pixel-based classification, while multi-resolution segmentation and the standard nearest neighbor (SNN) algorithm were employed in object-based classification. For the urban and suburban parts of Kolhapur, the Resourcesat-2 LISS-IV image was used, and the entire research region was classified into five LULC groups. The performance of the two approaches was examined by comparing the classification results. For accuracy evaluation, the ground truth data was used, and confusion matrixes were generated. The overall accuracy of the object-based methodology was 84.66%, which was significantly greater than the overall accuracy of the pixel-based categorization methodology, which was 72.66%. The findings of this study show that object-based classification is more appropriate for high-resolution Resourcesat-2 satellite data than MLC of pixel-based classification.

Usability of websites has been studied severally in a general term in different sectors such as entertainment, social media and e-commerce. Higher education is a sector that needs more attention because Universities are very important in the society and their websites hold important information for prospective students, parents, faculty, students of the university and the public. Several literature reviews have been conducted on website usability evaluation, not many have focused on University website usability evaluation. Existing reviews of University website usability evaluation have based their review on certain aspect of usability evaluation such as the methods used. The objective of this study is to carry out a systematic literature review of recent studies in this area in order to provide insight for University website developer, usability researchers and higher academic institutions in all. This study focuses on researches conducted on University website usability evaluation from 2016 to 2021. Findings from this study include additional information different from existing literature review, such as, objectives of researches, common usability attributes used by usability researchers, methods of data collection and analysis, changes in data collection due to Covid-19 pandemic and the types of usability problems found. The commonly mentioned usability problems are problems related to interface design, content, navigation, performance and accessibility.
