Authors: Mirta Nowacky Gutiérrez
Published: November 2022

El presente artículo tiene como finalidad analizar el alcance de los estándares básicos de las competencias del lenguaje establecidos por el Ministerio de Educación Nacional a la luz de algunos resultados estudiantiles obtenidos en las pruebas Pisa y Saber. La investigación está enmarcada en el enfoque cualitativo, el diseño asumido fue documental y se utilizó como técnica el análisis de contenidos. Los resultados señalados reflejan que los alumnos no están alcanzando las competencias comunicativas necesarias en el área del lenguaje para afrontar las exigencias de la sociedad del conocimiento en la que están inmersos, la cual demanda interactuar en diferentes escenarios y situaciones comunicativas. Lo que permite concluir que no es suficiente con establecer estándares si no se prevén todos los factores y actores que forman parte del proceso y se crean las condiciones necesarias para su consolidación.

 

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to analyze the scope of the basic   standards of language skills established by the Ministry of National Education in light of some student results obtained in the Pisa and Saber tests. The research is framed in the qualitative approach, the assumed design was documentary and content analysis were used as a technique. The indicated results reflect that the students are not reaching the necessary communicative competences in the language area to face the demands of the knowledge society in which they are immersed, which demands to interact in different communicative scenarios and situations. This allows us to conclude that it is not enough to establish standards if all the factors and actors that are part of the process are not foreseen and the necessary conditions are created for its consolidation.

Authors: Gao Ying
Published: November 2022

This paper reflects on the shortcomings of traditional English literature teaching, and illustrates the inspiration of OBE theory for the teaching reform of English children’s literature in higher vocational colleges in China. Traditional teaching lacks the cultivation and promotion of students’ practical application ability, vocational skills, thinking ability and other aspects, and less help for students’ future employment and further study, so it is difficult for students to have a sense of learning achievement and enthusiasm. The teaching of the English children’s literature course for Applied English majors of higher vocational colleges has its particularity. The reform of the course under the guidance of OBE theory, making the course improve students’ humanities accomplishment, Outcome-Based Education can promote the sustainable development of the students. With Integrating vocational skills, thus more conducive to the construction of a more scientific and efficient teaching model.
The Indo-Pacific Strategy from the Perspective of Offensive Realism
Authors: Hu Zhenshuo
Published: November 2022

The Indo-Pacific strategy marks a shift in U.S. policy toward China from engagement to containment. The new goal of above policy is to comprehensively use various means to prevent China’s further rise and continue to maintain U.S. comparative advantage. However, the U.S. has been in trouble in recent years in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, unable to focus on China’s rise. Therefore, uniting Japan, India, and Australia to share the responsibility and obligation to balance China among the so-called G4 will not only meet the strategic needs of dealing with China’s threat, but also reduce the pressure of U.S. global strategic contraction. For Japan, India and Australia, in the face of an increasingly aggressive China, all three countries feel the need to seek the support and help of the United States, a major power outside the region, to maintain regional balance of power and balance. From the theoretical perspective of offensive realism, the Indo-Pacific strategy embodies the policy preferences of the four countries for establishing a balance of power and shirking responsibility in the process of maintaining the balance of regional power structures. However, like the theoretical flaws of offensive realism, the Indo-Pacific strategy has limitations and potential risks that may have a negative impact on the effective development of the strategy.
How Do Household Income and Education Level Affect People’s Mental Health Conditions?
Authors: Dong Ruohong
Published: November 2022

Many people during the pandemic reported for mental health issues, which became a societal issue when the number went up. This article mainly focuses on the relationships among people’s mental health, education level, age, gender, race, and household income during the pandemic from 2020 to 2021. The earlier researchers had findings before the pandemic, but we do not know whether the findings are suitable for the circumstances in the pandemic. This research is advocating for solving this issue. This article’s mediation model utilizes household income and education level as mediators for analyzing the data. Based on the data, the final results show that higher household income people, elderly people, white males, and people with higher education levels tend to have fewer mental health issues than others. The findings imply that inequalities among people indeed influence people’s emotions differently and can help the practitioners in the field balance the resources better.
The Impact of the Digital Economy on E-Commerce Development
Authors: Jiang Wanrou
Published: November 2022

The establishment of Taobao in 2003, to Pinduoduo in 2015, shows the rapid development of the digital economy and people’s increased needs. Taobao was launched as a C2C (consumer-to-consumer) marketplace, a website for the whole world. Both overseas and Chinese users can buy directly from this site. In just two years it has taken over most of the Chinese market and with it has reduced economic poverty in other parts of China. The initial success of Taobao laid the foundations for e-commerce in China, with the British magazine The Economist calling it “China’s biggest online bazaar”. Since then, many e-commerce companies have tried to replicate Taobao’s success, but unfortunately many have failed, but Pinduoduo has managed to rival Taobao. The biggest advantage of C2B (consumer to business) is that it eliminates many intermediate steps and maximizes benefits. This means that Pinduoduo uses a collocation model to gather a large number of users, who then work together to place orders with the company at a group price, which greatly reduces the cost of sales.

Wastewater Surveillance of Pharmaceuticals and Genes: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Aga Diana S. , Halwatura Lahiruni M.
Published: November 2022

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) using viral nucleic acids to predict community viral outbreaks has many challenges, including interferences from the wastewater matrix. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) monitoring of pharmaceutically active compounds, such as antivirals and over-the-counter drugs commonly used to relieve the symptoms of infection, could complement information provided by molecular techniques. For instance, residues of drugs associated with managing Covid-19 symptoms, including azithromycin, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, and lopinavir, have been detected in influent wastewater. A significant correlation can be observed between the total of Covid-19–related drugs detected and the 5-day rolling averages of reported cases. Spikes in acetaminophen concentrations can also be observed a couple of weeks before a spike in SARS-CoV-2 RNA copies in wastewater, suggesting that over-the-counter analgesic concentrations in raw sewage may be used to complement viral RNA data as an early-warning system for effective management of viral outbreaks at the community level. Sample preparation and analysis of pharmaceuticals in wastewater present unique challenges and are discussed in this article.

Durante los últimos 100 años se ha explorado, utilizado e innovado en el campo de la electroquímica analítica, lo cual ha permitido el desarrollo de sensores para detectar múltiples contaminantes en concentraciones de partes por millón (ppm) y partes por billón (ppb). 1 Nada de esto sería posible sin la contribución del Profesor Jaroslav Heyrovský (1890 – 1967) quien, el 10 de febrero de 1922 realizó el descubrimiento de su vida, la existencia que hay entre la corriente eléctrica y la concentración de un analito electroactivo. Encontró y estudió la relación que existe entre la corriente eléctrica en una gota de mercurio al mantener un voltaje constante con la concentración de una especie electroactiva. Esto desató una ola de investigaciones relacionadas a la detección electroquímica, específicamente con la ayuda del mercurio, el cual tiene propiedades electroquímicas únicas. Entre estas propiedades está su alto nivel de sensibilidad (≈ 10-7 mol L-1 ), su capacidad de formar amalgamas con múltiples elementos, 2 pero sobre todo, permite alcanzar la energía de reducción de muchos compuestos, entre los que se destacan los compuestos orgánicos y algunos inorgánicos. El descubrimiento de la polarografía hizo que el profesor Heyrovský fuese galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Química en 1959. En el presente año se festejan los 100 años de este descubrimiento trascendental en la electroquímica analítica. Por ello, esta contribución pretende recordar tal hallazgo con una breve descripción de la técnica, las aplicaciones y el futuro de estas.

Authors: SANFO Jean-Baptiste
Published: November 2022

Background: There is limited evidence on the potential benefits of bilingual medium of instruction (MOI) in sub-Saharan Africa.
Purpose: This study examines the association between bilingual MOI and learning outcomes in Senegal and Zambia, analyzes how the association varies among students from different linguistic backgrounds, and estimates how consistent the relational patterns are between the two countries.
Design and methods: The study Employs hierarchical linear modelling with PISA for Development 2018 data.
Results: Results show that bilingual MOI is negatively associated with reading but not mathematics and science in Senegal, but it is not associated with any of these learning achievement measures in Zambia. However, the association may be positive or negative across student linguistic backgrounds in both countries. Moreover, the relational patterns between the countries may be consistent or inconsistent depending on the measure of learning achievements or whether we consider a direct or indirect relation. Implications of the findings were discussed.

Published: November 2022

A definição de melhor posição e direção, durante a fase de concepção, de lajes, vigas e pilares, impactam diretamente nos custos, sendo importante a sua avaliação. Assim, este artigo avaliou a influência da orientação de lançamento dos pilares nos resultados dos momentos fletores, flechas, área e consumo de aço das vigas e lajes, considerando dois cenários: Cenário 1 com os pilares de canto a 90° em relação aos demais e Cenário 2, com todos os pilares posicionados na mesma direção dos eixos de referência. Os resultados mostraram que houve, para o Cenário 1, uma compensação de momento fletor, com aumento para uma direção e redução para a direção perpendicular, tendo a área de aço apresentado o mesmo comportamento. Esses fatores levaram a um aumento do consumo de aço e das flechas máximas para as lajes. Ainda em relação ao Cenário 1, para a maioria das vigas, foi possível observar aumento dos momentos fletores positivos e negativos. As flechas máximas das vigas, no geral, foram maiores para o Cenário 1 do que o Cenário 2, destacando que não houve alteração no consumo de aço para ambos os cenários, evidenciando uma redistribuição dos esforços. Os esforços normais solicitantes nos pilares do térreo e os valores de momento solicitantes e à flexão composta foram em geral maiores no Cenário 1. Assim, o Cenário 2 foi o que apresentou a concepção estrutural com maior redução do consumo de aço e das flechas máximas.

Authors: Kabaklarli Esra , Mangir Fatih , Sawhney Bansi
Published: November 2022

Growth theory asserts that infrastructure investments promote economic growth by improving the quality of life and increasing private sector productivity . Transport services, water utility services and telecommunication services provide better facilities to attract FDI (foreign direct investment) and increase productivity across sectors. The aim of this article is to analyze whether transport infrastructure investments have a strong effect on the economic growth. It also attempts to analyze the differential impact of each type of infrastructural spending on economic growth. Our data set covers annual data from 1993 to 2015 period for 15 OECD countries (Austria, Turkey, Czech Republic, Spain, Finland, Japan, Germany, Ireland, Italy, France, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, U.K) and China. In this study, we employ a Pool Mean Group (PMG) estimator to find long run and short run relations between the variables. Output elasticity of air transport is found to be positive and significant at five percent level and there exists a long run relationship between GDP per capita and other explanatory variables such as transport infrastructure indicators, gross capital formation and labor force. The crowding- out hypothesis is also supported by coefficients on county specific results. Our data set includes infrastructure variables such as Railways, (million passenger-km), Air transport, (freight, million ton-km), Individuals using the Internet (% of population).

Authors: Hoi Ha Van
Published: November 2022

On December 29, 2020, the free trade agreement between Vietnam and the UK (UKVFTA) was officially signed. This is the next step in the Vietnam - UK trade relationship since the European Union - Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) no longer applies to the UK after December 31, 2020 because of Brexit. UKVFTA is a new generation, high-quality bilateral agreement aimed at the complete elimination of import duties and non-tariff barriers on goods of the two countries under a short schedule. The deployment of UKVFTA from the beginning of 2021 will ensure smooth trade in goods of the two countries, especially for essential goods in the complicated context of the Covid 19 pandemic. The paper analyzes and identifies new opportunities and challenges after the UKVFTA comes into effect, thereby proposing some solutions to boost Vietnam's exports to the UK in the coming time.
An Empirical Study of the Motivations for Intention to Read Brand-related User-generated Content on Social Media in Vietnam
Authors: Nghia Luu Thi Minh , Duong Nguyen Minh
Published: November 2022

This study investigates the motivations of social media users for their intention to read brand-related user-generated content (B-UGC). The study applies the uses and gratifications (U&G) approach to identify the typology of UGC reading motivations. It examines other possible motives from theory of planned behavior to a conceptualized research model. Following quantitative methodology, a questionnaire survey was carried out with 263 valid respondents. The assessment of the research model and hypotheses is analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The research found that information-seeking and social interaction have a significant impact on attitude towards UGC, which is the most significant predictor of intention to read B-UGC. Entertainment and passing time gratifications are significantly related to attitude toward B-UGC, and the perceived power of control would not significantly affect the intention to read B-UGC. This study discusses managerial implications for directing and managing the brand-related content in social media.

Authors: Jung Suji , Choi Naya
Published: November 2022

Objectives: Word awareness is an important factor in word instruction for children in late preschool. This study aimed to verify whether parents’ word instruction promotes the growth of preschoolers’ receptive vocabulary size and whether the relation between the two variables is mediated by preschoolers’ word awareness.Methods: The study recruited 200 pairs of five to six-year-old preschoolers and their parents from 14 childcare centers in Sejong and Daejeon, South Korea. Experimenters asked the preschoolers to answer questions on word unit awareness, word arbitrariness awareness, word morphology awareness, word type awareness, and receptive vocabulary size from experimenters and videos. Parents were asked to answer the items on word instruction.Results: First, parents’ word instruction, preschoolers’ word awareness and receptive vocabulary size were positively correlated. Second, parents’ word instruction had a direct effect on preschoolers’ receptive vocabulary size and an indirect effect via preschoolers’ word awareness. Lastly, the partial mediating effects of word unit awareness, word arbitrariness awareness, word morphology awareness, and word type awareness on the relation between parents’ word instruction and receptive vocabulary size were all significant.Conclusion: This study revealed the importance of parents’ word instruction to enhance preschoolers’ awareness of various aspects of words. The present results offer useful information for developing vocabulary instruction programs for preschoolers and parents.

Objectives: The study has two goals: First, it explores the effects of working mothers’ (in managerial positions) job satisfaction on their subsequent childbirth plans . In addition, it identifies the differential impact of working mothers’ job satisfaction on their future childbirth plans according to their job satisfaction type.Methods: This study used data from the Korean Women Manager Panel (2020). Research participants include 573 working mothers between their 20s and 40s who are managers and have one child. Working mothers’ job satisfaction was assessed using the Job Satisfaction Measurement Scale. This instrument comprises sub-factors including wage, working hours, work and life balance, promotion, senior, and job. Data were analyzed using cluster and logistic regression analysis.Results: The cluster analysis results suggested three clusters: Job Satisfaction Type, Job Dissatisfaction Type, and Selective Job Satisfaction Type. Additionally, job satisfaction’s effect on mothers’ subsequent childbirth plans was significant only for mothers in the Job Satisfaction group. In contrast, the impact of job satisfaction on future childbirth plans was not significant in working mothers in other groups.Conclusion: This study confirmed the differences in the effects of working mothers’ (in managerial positions) job satisfaction types on their subsequent childbirth plans. Notably, this study identified discrete groups of working mothers according to their job satisfaction. Furthermore, its findings revealed patterns of changes related to job satisfaction in their subsequent childbirth plans.
Effect of Mother’s Social Competence on Care Difficulties during COVID-19: Examining the Sequential Mediating Effects of Mother’s Sense of School-Based Community and Satisfaction with Online Learning
Authors: Kim Min Jeong , Suh Hye Min , Lim Min Yeong , Lee Kangyi , Park Hye Jun
Published: November 2022

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mother’s social competence on the care difficulties during COVID-19 through sequential mediating effects of mother’s sense of schoolbased community and satisfaction with online learning.Methods: Data were collected from 308 mothers of 4th grade elementary school children who participated in the 4th wave of Panel Study on Korean Parent Educational Involvement [PSKPEI] in 2020. Structural equation modeling analysis was conducted using STATA 17.Results: There were no direct effects of mother’s social competence on the difficulties of caring during the COVID-19. However, mother’s social competence had an indirect effect on the difficulties of caring during the COVID-19 through the sequential mediation of the mother's sense of school-based community and satisfaction with online-learning.Conclusion: This study confirmed the importance of a family-school partnership during COVID-19. To support mothers’ caring during COVID-19, it is necessary to consider indirect factors such as family-school partnership rather than just the direct influence of individual factors such as social competence. This suggests that efforts should be made to establish a cooperative relationship between family and schools to help parents adapt to their role as caregivers in an ever-changing society as well as the current pandemic.

The study assessed the topics of career adaptability, self-direction and parental autonomy support among pre-service childcare teachers using a questionnaire. The SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0 programs were used for the data analysis. The maximun likelihood estimation (MLE) method was used to examine the model fit. Goodness of fit was evaluated using absolute fit indices SRMR, RMSEA and well as relative fit indices CFI and TLI.Results: Results revealed th following four major findings. First, parental autonomy support was found to affects the career adaptability of pre-service childcare teachers. Second, self-direction was found to affect the career adaptability of pre-service childcare teachers. Third, parental autonomy support was found to affect the self-direction of pre-service childcare teachers. Finally, parental autonomy support was found to indirectly affects career adaptability of pre-service childcare teachers through self-direction.Conclusion: This study makes a meaningful contribution by determining relationship between the factor of patental autonomy support, self-direction, and career adaptability among pre-service childcare teachers. Given that self-direction was found to mediate the relationship between parental autonomy support and career adaptability of pre-service childcare teachers, it is suggested that parental autonomy support is a important environmental factor involved in developing self-direction.
Typologies of Adolescent Delinquent Behaviors and Prediction of Latent Delinquent Groups Using Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: Lee Jaeyoon , Park Jisu
Published: November 2022

Objectives: With the advances in digital technologies, adolescents are more likely to engage in multiple types of delinquent behaviors; however, few studies have considered various types of delinquencies with a multidimensional approach. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the latent groups based on various delinquencies and examine latent groups’ predictors using machine learning and multidimensional approaches.Methods: Using nationally representative data (N = 8,210; male 52.17%), a latent class analysis was conducted to identify latent groups based on 10 delinquent behaviors self-reported by adolescents. A random forest analysis was then employed to predict latent groups using 53 predictors including demographic (6 items), personal (44 items), and environmental levels (3 items). The Mplus program was used for latent class analysis, and the R version 4.0.5 program was used for random forest analysis.Results: Three latent groups were identified and categorized as “high online delinquency” (3.2%), “drink/media delinquency” (26.8%), and “low delinquency” (70.0%). Random forest analysis found adolescents’ perception of harmful substances was the most important variable predicting the delinquent groups. Partial dependence plots showed the higher the interest in harmful substances, the lower the ability to respond to the harmful substances; the higher the access to harmful environment, the lower the grade; and the lower the autonomy control ability, the more likely the classification as a high delinquency group.Conclusion: This study classified three latent groups while considering the detailed types of delinquencies. The study found the prominent predictors using machine learning and multidimensional approaches to suggest useful delinquency prevention programs.

A presente pesquisa tem o intuito de mapear a produção científica nacional acerca da utilização de jogos e atividades lúdicas no ensino, analisando especificamente os jogos digitais e como esses podem ser utilizados para o desenvolvimento do ensino e aprendizagem de conteúdos científicos. A metodologia consiste em realizar, primeiramente, um mapeamento horizontal acerca de trabalhos correspondentes à busca do termo Jogo publicados recentemente, de 2020 a 2022, em periódicos Qualis A1 e A2, conforme classificação da CAPES para o quadriênio de 2012-2016, e nos últimos anais de eventos (2018 e 2021), a nível nacional. Além dos periódicos com qualificação da CAPES, a Revista Eletrônica Ludus Scientiae (RELuS) também foi escolhida por se tratar de uma revista especializada na área. Posteriormente, o mapeamento vertical se apresenta com o uso da Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD) para os artigos que focam especificamente na aplicação, elaboração, proposta e/ou avaliação de jogos digitais no ensino, buscando por dimensões de conteúdo e por origens de contexto no corpus de análise. Como resultados do mapeamento horizontal, obtivemos dados quantitativos, com um retorno de 152 trabalhos voltados a jogos, sendo 28 desses referentes aos jogos digitais, e uma caracterização de questões como a autoria, local e ano de publicação, além do tipo de pesquisa que cada trabalho apresenta. Para o mapeamento vertical identificamos tanto as dimensões de conteúdo, explicitando momentos em que essas podem ser identificadas, quanto as origens de contexto, apresentadas da mesma forma. Compreendemos, com a pesquisa, a necessidade de mais estudos acerca de jogos digitais e a importância do uso desses recursos para um efetivo processo de ensino e aprendizagem das Ciências.

Background: The epidemiology of Hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) remains poorly documented in Malaysia. Available statistics are based on data from mostly small studies in special populations. Objectives: In this study, we provide estimates of the proportion of people who are positive for HBs Antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HCV antibody (Ab) among participants in a community screening campaign. Methods: A total of 10,914 subjects participated in the hepatitis screening campaign organized by Hepatitis Free Pahang in 2018 and 2019. A low-cost point-of-care test, which has previously been validated, was used to screen for HBsAg and anti-HCV Ab. All screened positive subjects were recalled to undergo confirmatory serologic tests (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and nucleic acid tests (Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction. Results: We estimated that 1.17% of adults aged 20 or older who participated in the screening campaign were positive for HBsAg+, and only 0.71 percent were positive for anti-HCV Ab+. Young adults below 30 years of age had a very low proportion of HBsAg+ (0.09%). Women had a lower proportion of HBsAg+ and HCV- Ab+, Chinese had the highest proportion of HBsAg+, while Malay had the highest proportion of anti-HCV Ab+. Conclusions: Among adult participants of screening in Malaysia, chronic HBV is still common, especially among older and Chinese people. Adults with positive anti-HCV Abs are much less common.

Background: Breast cancer patients experience physical and emotional distress due to their diagnosis and treatment of their disease. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the quality of life (QOL), social support and coping strategies, illness adjustment among breast cancer patients, and the type of breast surgery. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study at hospitals in Zahedan, Iran, in 2020. We recruited 120 patients with breast cancer by census method. Data collection tools were the breast cancer-specific module (QLQ-BR 23), The adjustment to illness measurement inventory for Iranian women with breast cancer (AIMI-IBC), and the multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS) questionnaires. We performed the statistical analysis in SPSS software version 19.0. Results: The mean age of patients in this survey was 47.35 ± 10.67 years. 53.3% of patients underwent a mastectomy, 34.2% had a lumpectomy, and 12.5% of patients had not been surgery. Patients on the functioning scale reported high scores for body image (78.61 ± 26.69) and future perspective (55.27 ± 26.71). Patients on the symptom scale had a high score upset by hair loss (49.16 ± 38.88). Also, the mean score of total social support was 45.71 ± 9.92. in addition, they used the reasonable efforts coping strategy (4.07 ± 0.35), and the mean score of illness adjustment was 150.91 ± 16.29. Conclusions: The results of this study indicated that breast cancer patients received a high social support level, especially from family members, and had a high degree of adjustment to their illness. Also, patients were more upset about their hair loss and body image. Therefore, early disease detection can improve breast cancer women's quality of life and disease adaptation.

Actually, one of the priority of issues for Azerbaijan is the reconstruction of the livability of the area that has been occupied and plundered. In another view, there is a tendency from the past where one of the major processes in urban planning is still as dissolution of the individuality of city image. In that paper, we used the application of the analysis taken for the Karabakh lands that are under conducting the redevelopment programs of: tourism potential, agriculture, culture. The research was to study the identity of the historical towns in general by using of inductive approach, and descriptive analyses of the tendency of the local past and present in town planning, compared with successful strategy in urban planning. As result, we revealed the potential opportunity to set the identity in the initial strategy of the towns redevelopment.
