A Theoretical Overview on Teaching Sunrise Program to Kurdish EFL Learners: Sunrise 1 and Sunrise 2 as Examples
Authors:   Department of English – College of Education/ University of Raparin, Qadir Nawzad
Published: July 2023

This paper is an attempt to tackle some theoretical issues in Sunrise program which is the latest program used for teaching English language in Iraqi Kurdistan region. It plays a stunning repertoire in teaching and using English language because it changed the way of teaching English language from teaching about language to the practical use of English. This program has been being taught to Kurdish EFL learners approximately for two decades. Thus, many studies have been conducted concerning the application of Sunrise in the field of pedagogy; however, there exist few ones about the theoretical aspects of that program. The main issue of this paper is to shed light on some theoretical linguistic aspects of Sunrise program that have a negative impact upon learning. In Sunrise, priority has been given to the existence of communicative approach which is the most significant and dominant one at present. The use of this approach has made students not to be passive participants anymore, and has also made them get involved in the dynamics of teaching. This paper concludes that too much repetition of the subjects, irregular classification of alphabetical letters and some grammatical deficiencies have made the program not to be satisfied by all teachers and students.

Publish or perish
Authors: Piercy Gemma Louise
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this paper is to share a poem I wrote as I seek to publish findings from my PhD. The poem, which can be considered as a form of evocative autoethnography, expresses trauma incurred during childhood triggered by feedback accompanying a desk reject. The poem echoes internalised judgement but also seeks to provide hope that achievement is possible even in the face of what feels insurmountable. The backdrop of the poem is the neo-liberal university, the emotive and perilous demand to publish or perish, as well as patriarchal mansplaining.
Is green finance capable of promoting renewable energy technology? Empirical investigation for 64 economies worldwide
Authors: Zheng Mingbo , Feng Gen-Fu , Chang Chun-Ping
Published: July 2023

Research background: As an outcome of a global consensus on combating climate change, green finance is expected to play an important role in promoting green growth and innovation progress. Some studies note that green credit policy yields a negative influence on green innovation, while how green finance affects renewable energy innovation has received scant attention in academia. This study focuses on the impact of green finance on renewable energy innovation.
Purpose of the article: This research investigates the influence of green finance on an economy's renewable energy innovation by using green bond data from the Climate Bonds Initiative. This research further tests whether it varies for different kinds of energy types and economic development levels. Given that policies are key to renewable energy technology development, this research checks whether government stability changes the relationship between green finance and renewable energy innovation.
Methods: Using the panel fixed effects model and big-scale data from 64 economies worldwide during the period 2014-2019, we investigate green finance's impact on renewable energy innovation. In the robustness test, the dynamic panel model and the panel Tobit model are employed.
Findings & value added: This research finds that green finance has a positive effect on renewable energy innovation. This effect is prominent in non-OECD economies as well as middle-income and low-income economies. Government stability enhances the influence of green finance on renewable energy innovation. Moreover, the results indicate that green finance mainly promotes innovation progress for wind energy and produces little effect for other renewable energies. The subsample analysis also sheds light on the heterogeneity of the role of green finance in promoting renewable energy innovation.
Impact of corporate social responsibility on cost of debt in Scandinavian public companies
Authors: Aleknevičienė Vilija , Stralkutė Sandra
Published: July 2023

Research background: In recent decades, companies have paid increasing attention to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its related performance. Scandinavian countries lead the world in CSR and sustainability. The good CSR performance of Scandinavian companies has motivated studies on this phenomenon, particularly on the connection between a company's CSR and its performance. One of the most important performance indicators and value drivers is the cost of debt.
Purpose of the article: This study assessed the impact of CSR on the cost of debt in Scandinavian public companies.
Methods: The research was divided into two stages. In the first stage, Scandinavian public companies were divided into two groups (with and without ESG (environmental, social, governance) disclosure scores) to reveal differences in the cost of debt. In the second stage, a fixed-effects regression model for balanced panel data sets was applied from 2011 to 2020 to assess the impact of ESG and its pillars on the cost of debt.
Findings & value added: The results revealed that the cost of debt of companies in Scandinavian countries with ESG disclosure scores was significantly lower. The ESG disclosure scores of these companies have increased significantly over the past 10 years. We found a positive impact of CSR on the cost of debt in Scandinavian public companies. The increase in ESG disclosure and pillar scores reduced the cost of debt. These findings are valuable from a scientific perspective. Scandinavian public companies with ESG scores have higher financial risk, but lower cost of debt. These results support the importance of investors' behavior, information asymmetry, and signaling. The findings have several implications for shareholders, managers and creditors. They suggest that creditors consider ESG disclosures when determining a borrower's creditworthiness. Additionally, it is a message to regulators that the debt market values ESG disclosures.

Authors: Ab Latif Rusnani , Ismail Wan Ismahanisa
Published: July 2023

Many countries, including Malaysia, have recently issued normative criteria that must be followed by all populations in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has turned into a global health crisis. As a result of the policy, several universities have chosen to use the open and distance learning (ODL) system to pursue non-face-to-face learning. E-learning is the most convenient way used by educators throughout the world to conduct academic sessions using various mediums as requires only internet access and telecommunication devices such as smartphones and laptops. However, there are many challenges and obstacles face by nursing students during ODL, such as poor internet connection and a lack of online educational resources; stress and anxiety during ODL learning; Social distancing; Financial constraints, and burnout from the workload of assignment. In conclusion, the Covid-19 pandemic had an impact on nursing students as a result of the barriers and challenges they faced when participating in online distance learning. Along with the challenges that nursing students are currently facing, lecturers must be prepared to equip themselves with knowledge and skills as well as new practices of teaching and learning that is relevant to the development and needs of the 21st century, thinking skills across all disciplines among nursing students should be given priority. The thinking skills of teachers and students, especially in the context of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) is a matter of necessity or priority in determining the successful transformation of education as outlined in the Blueprint 2013-2025.

Published: July 2023

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is an online education system that has gained increasing popularity in higher education in recent years. Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) has implemented MOOC as part of its teaching and learning modalities, in line with the launch of the Vice Chancellor’s special project, MOOC 450 in 2017. In the Faculty of Pharmacy, UiTM, a total of seven MOOC courses are being offered to the students. However, the enrolment rate of MOOC courses is quite low. Therefore, this research is conducted to gain insihts on the preferences of our students in using MOOC as part of their learning process in UiTM. A total of 133 students of Bachelor of Pharmacy in UiTM Puncak Alam, Selangor were involved in this reasearch. Respondents were given a set of self-administered questionnaire comprising of three parts: (i) general usage of MOOC; (ii) factors that influence students’ preference in using MOOC; (iii) problems that hinder students from using MOOC. Our results showed that various teaching materials, flexible accessibility and the capacity to learn at one’s own pace are the top three variables that affect the students’ preferences in using MOOC. Meanwhile, the top three problems which prevent students from using MOOC are a poor internet connection, lack of physical interactions between students and tutors and lack of interaction between students.
Analysis of operation of heat exchangers of a heating system in the arrangement of reliable and safe heat supply of residential buildings
Authors: Samarin O. D.
Published: July 2023

The arrangement of heat supply of residential buildings with independent connection to external heating networks is considered, which ensures the reliability of heat supply and the necessary comfort in the premises in cold weather conditions after the official termination of the heating season or before it begins due to the supply of water from the return main of the heating network after the DHW heat exchangers. A mathematical model describing the non-stationary modes of operation of heaters of the heating system under the conditions of the implementation of this arrangement is constructed and studied. Calculations were carried out using this model, including numerical simulation on a computer using the Monte Carlo method. It is established that in this case, due to fluctuations in the waste water consumption following the daily variation in water consumption at the DHW, there occurs a decrease in the average heat transfer coefficient of the heater of the heating system and its temperature efficiency due to the fact that these values depend on the flow rate in a non-linear way, and their growth during the period of increased water intake at the DHW does not compensate for the decrease during the reduction of water consumption. It is noted that in this case, the reduction of the heat transfer coefficient lies within the usual error of engineering calculation, and this effect can be neglected. It is proved that, with a small number of heat transfer units in the heater of the heating system attributed to the heated flow, the total amount of heat transferred can decrease quite significantly (by up to 30 percent); however, with a rational choice of the heater size, such a decrease is within the limits allowed by the margins applied when setting the flow rate of delivery water and determining the heat transfer area.
Scheduled screening of patency of permanent central venous dialysis catheters
Authors: Giannaraki Dimitra , Mavromatidis Konstantinos
Published: July 2023

Background: The number of hemodialysis patients is being increased year by year throughout the world, due to the increase in the life expectancy of the population, as well as the increase in incidences of hypertension and diabetes among them, but also due to the fact that many of the patients with heart and renal failure are now being dialyzed. Hemodialysis requires vascular access. But diabetics, hypertensives, as well as the elderly patients, usually have no vessels (arteries and veins) capable enough to give a satisfactory blood flow via a fistula, so the catheter is the only choice.
Objective-Design: A well-functioning catheter is a prerequisite for the quality of the clearance provided. In the present study, control of the catheter patency was performed in a monthly basis. If the blood supply remained high (at least >300 ml/min) the catheter was considered to function satisfactorily.
Participants-Results: The study examined the patency of permanent dialysis catheters in 34 patients (19F, 15M). The catheter survival was found to be good in all cases (100%) with a blood supply of at least >300 ml/min for 17 months. Furthermore, 75% of the catheters had a good blood supply for 20 months, while 6 catheters survived with
good function for 25 months and continue to operate satisfactorily even now.
Conclusion: The study found out that the method of controlling the patency of permanent dialysis catheters was easy and efficient for the timely detection of those that were malfunctioning and that the results from their use were satisfactory, compared to those of other researchers in the literature.
La isla y el eclipse de la civilización: una conversación entre María Zambrano y el político puertorriqueño Luis Muñoz Marín en 1940
Authors: Álvarez Curbelo Silvia
Published: July 2023

El artículo revisita la relación entrañable de María Zambrano con Puerto Rico, una «isla-perfume» donde traba amistad con el político Luis Muñoz Marín y su esposa, Inés Mendoza. Era 1940 y el fascismo arrasaba triunfante. La isla caribeña recibió a cientos de exiliados españoles de la guerra civil. Muñoz Marín y Zambrano sostienen conversaciones preñadas de urgencia sobre la libertad, la democracia y el futuro de los valores de la cultura occidental. En Puerto Rico, Zambrano encuentra la «soledad» que necesita para transitar el exilio y poder escribir en esta «hora del eclipse» para la humanidad. Para el político puertorriqueño se trata también de un momento de inflexión desde el cual despega un proyecto de modernización y democratización de la isla, en medio de las vicisitudes de la guerra y una relación deficitaria con Estados Unidos. La amistad entre María Zambrano y el matrimonio puertorriqueño se extendería por muchos años, en los que se da el relevo a otro momento de tinieblas con la nuclearización del mundo.

The coexistence of inflation and unemployment rates especially in developing economies has been generating a lot of debate among researchers concerning the validity of Phillip’s curve. The current study examines the validity of Phillip’s curve in the context of the BRICS countries comprises of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa using data from the World Bank database (2020) and analyzed using a random effect static panel regression analysis. We find that the unemployment rate and output negatively and significantly influenced the inflation rate in the BRICS countries, which validates Phillip’s curve. This implies that raising unemployment and output level may likely reduce inflation rate in the BRICS countries. We, therefore, recommend the need for policymakers to choose to either stabilize prices or reduce unemployment. Also, the need for government to reduce inflation by increasing output thereby generating employment for the people.

As a gate pass to a successful career, the educational loan, ideally, should bring utility to economically weaker students. The present study attempts to develop a Structural Equation Model (SEM) for educational loan utility, which springs out of job prospects from the basic factors, namely awareness, adequacy, utilization, effectiveness, and perception of loan financing on the one hand, and defaults in repayments, on the other. The study is posted to an uneven premise of a popular assumption among loanees that education loan is more of an aid and less of a retail product. The proposed model can decipher the research paradigm by delineating how different factors contribute to derive the utility of educational loans. The model articulates a strong tenet that job prospects (precisely with skills gained) and repayment (financial behavior) are the two core elements for the sustainability of the education loan scheme. The present study signifies the need to develop a standardised tool for the selection of potential candidates to assess their employability quotient to improve the quality of financing and is placed in the range of demand-side perspectives of educational loan financing.
