The Political Crisis of 2020–2021 in Mali
Authors:   Institute for African Studies RAS, Filippov Vasily
Published: September 2021

The subject of consideration is the 2020 crisis in Mali. The events are viewed in the context of the geopolitical transformations taking place in West Africa. The purpose of the study is to find out the causes and consequences of military and political cataclysms that threaten the state integrity of Mali and the stability of the situation in Tropical Africa. The situation in Mali remains poorly known: it is not clear what forces will determine the vector of its political and military-strategic development. It is obvious that France is losing its influence in the region, which is largely due to the emergence of new actors in international relations here. This, in turn, allows Africans to diversify their foreign economic and political orientations. The author assumes that the named processes will provoke an intense competition for influence in the countries of Tropical Africa.
Mauritania: the Evolution of Political Structures
Authors:   Institute for African Studies RAS, Grishina Nina
Published: September 2021

The Islamic Republic of Mauritania as an independent State emerged as a result of the collapse of colonial French West Africa, which included Mauritania. Its independence was declared on November 28, 1960. At the turning point of historical epochs, under the influence of national liberation movements on the continent and the general democratization of world government institutions, wide opportunities opened up for political activity, both for individual parties and movements, and for a particular individual. The pressure of foreign monopolies, the archaic social structure, internal political instability and the complexity of relations with neighboring countries have become serious obstacles to the development of Mauritania. During the years of independence, Mauritania has repeatedly experienced coups d’etat, which could not but have a negative impact on the entire socio-political spectrum of this West African country. Decades of French colonial influence has been reflected in the formation of political institutions in Mauritania, such as the Constitutional Council and the judiciary. Mauritania’s domestic policy has been based on racial and ethnic lines for many years. The protracted confrontation resulted in a conflict between the black population mainly in the south of the country and the traditionally Berber Arabs living in the northern regions, whose representatives held leading state posts. Each new head of state who came to power in post-colonial Mauritania, among the main tasks of domestic development, set the task of uniting various ethnic groups. Despite the obvious difficulties in solving this issue, the main tasks of the country’s leadership in the field of domestic policy are strict compliance with the current legislation in order to restore public confidence in state institutions and psychological restructuring of the consciousness of the vast majority of the population, aimed at developing a new attitude to domestic political life. In the 1980s, the country began a movement for the right of women to participate in the socio-economic sphere. But only in the 21st century did they gain the right to hold political office, although they are still required to live under Sharia law. At the level of public consciousness, the participation of women in politics and in other spheres of public activity is not approved. Traditional slavery is a special problem of socio-political development.

Authors: Samanta Projoyita , Bamola V Deepak , Das Bimal , Chattopadhyay Parthoprasad , Chaudhry Rama
Published: September 2021

Probiotic should be well characterized for any preventive and therapeutic application. Studies have reported that the population specific indigenous probiotics are more effective. Huge number of probiotics are available globally but indigenous Indian probiotic candidates are limited. Therefore, a study was conducted to evaluate probiotic characteristics and anti-inflammatory properties of an Indian indigenous Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp1) – (NCBI accession no- MN386242) against gastrointestinal (GI) pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) using Caco-2 cell lines. Anti-inflammatory properties were assessed by evaluating the expression of Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG) receptors, Toll Like Receptors (TLR2, TLR4) and cytokine (IL10, IL-8, IL17 and IL23) using flowcytometry and Real Time-PCR. Lp1 showed good adhesion and ability to survive in high acidic and bile conditions of the gut. Lp1 demonstrated antagonistic potential against GI pathogens and modulated pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines expression significantly. Observed result indicated that this indigenous Lp1 is a good probiotic candidate with anti-inflammatory potential and can be evaluated further clinically for the treatment or prevention of salmonellosis and other GI inflammatory disorders.
Learning to Call Bullsh*t via Induction: Categorization Training Improves Critical Thinking Performance
Authors: Motz Benjamin , Fyfe Emily , Guba Taylor Paige
Published: September 2021

Participants performed a categorization training task, where each trial presented an example scenario in which an individual makes a claim based on an observation, and participants marked which fallacy or bias, if any, the individual in the scenario was committing. In two studies, we measure the effect of this training task on critical thinking, measured using an open-ended critical thinking assessment, both pre- and post-training. In Study 1, we pilot these materials in an online college course across a full academic semester and observe credible improvements in critical thinking performance. In Study 2, we conduct a pre-registered randomized controlled experiment using online research participants and observe credible improvements in critical thinking relative to no training, and relative to comparable learning activities focused on conventional curricular content. We infer that the categorization training task facilitated inductive learning of patterns of biased and flawed reasoning, which improved participants’ ability to detect and identify such patterns in the delayed open-ended critical thinking assessment. Such categorization training shows promise as an effective and practical method for improving learners’ resistance to online disinformation.
Assessing Momentary States of Relaxation: The Relaxation State Questionnaire
Authors: Steghaus Sarah , Poth Christian H.
Published: September 2021

Stress is ubiquitous in everyday life and hazardous for mental and physical health. To prevent or ameliorate stress-related disease, approaches such as relaxation exercises aim to counteract stress by inducing short-lasting states of relaxation. Critically, current assessments capture the mid- and long-term consequences of relaxation but are unable to quantify these states of relaxation. To address this problem, we developed the Relaxation State Questionnaire (RSQ). We assessed the item properties, reliability, and validity of the questionnaire in an online study. Construct validity was examined through correlations with the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ; Fliege et al., 2005). An exploratory factor analysis revealed four factors capturing the momentary state of muscle tension, sleepiness, cardiovascular activity, and general relaxation. The items had high loadings on their factors and the reliability and construct validity of the RSQ were both high. These findings establish the RSQ as a tool to measure states of relaxation. As such, the RSQ opens up investigations of the immediate effects and effectiveness of relaxation exercises.
Autism and Panpsychism: Putting process in mind
Authors: Delafield-Butt Jonathan
Published: September 2021

Panpsychism is a metaphysical framework around which science can understand the nature of subjective experience. Panpsychism affords a scientific view of mind and body as a coherent mind–body unity, with agentive purpose. Fundamental to minds is motor control, a core aspect that combines sensory experience, its evaluation in choice of agent action, and extension into the public expression of intentional movement. This primary mind–body process appears disturbed in autistic individuals. Empirical analysis of the spatiotemporal properties of intentional movement in autism shows a disruption to the efficient prospective integration and control of movement, a core aspect of mind. This paper examines the capacity of a panpsychist metaphysic to explain mind as fundamentally constituted by units of mind–body sensorimotor agency, which can be understood as the basic building blocks of embodied experience. The implications of a post-Cartesian metaphysic in scientific understanding of minds allows for deeper consideration of the role of movement in subjective experience, and its disturbance in autism as a disturbance to the organization of conscious sensorimotor experience and agency. It’s impact on modes of cognition and neural substrates is discussed.
Understanding sleep-wake behavior in late chronotype adolescents: The role of circadian phase, sleep timing, and evening vigilance
Authors: Lang Christin , Richardson Cele , Micic Gorica , Gradisar Michael
Published: September 2021

Background. Growing evidence supports a link between late chronotype and increased risk for affective disorders. Yet, the tendency toward a late chronotype and the onset of mood disorders often emerge during adolescence. Few studies have examined the relationship among school-aged adolescence. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the specific role of sleep and circadian related measures in late chronotype adolescents and their impact on mood. Furthermore, we explored to what extend severeness is explained by bedtime behavior, evening vigilance, and circadian phase.Methods. Nineteen male adolescents (M = 16.4 yrs ± 1.0 yrs), who were part of a larger study, were included in the analyses. Chronotype was assessed with the Munich Chronotype questionnaire, circadian timing via salivary dim light melatonin onset (DLMO), and habitual sleep behavior with a 7-day sleep diary. Further questionnaires evaluated daytime sleepiness, sleep quality, and mood. Evening vigilance (Go/NoGo) and sleepiness (Karolinska Sleepiness Scale) were used as a proxy for sleep propensity. Results. The average sleep duration on school nights was 7.78 hours (±1.65), and 9.00 hours (±1.42) on weekend nights. Mean DLMO was observed at 23.13 h (± 1.65), with a weekend phase angle of entrainment for DLMObedtime of 2.48 hours. Regression fittings revealed a general tendency of shorter phase angles with delayed DLMOs. In contrast, further analysis with chronotype subgroups revealed that this was only true for light and moderate late types, whereas extreme late types presented with wide phase angles. While no differences in daytime sleepiness and sleep duration were found between subgroups, sleep quality and mood decreased with increasing lateness. Extreme late chronotypes experienced higher evening sleepiness, whereas slight late types presented with higher evening vigilance. Chronotype but not DLMO predicted bedtime on school- and particularly weekend-nights. Conclusions. Our findings highlight that with increasing lateness, the risk for impaired sleep quality and mood disorders increases. Given that DLMO was not predictive of bedtime, our data indicate that factors contributing to a late chronotype are versatile and complex, particularly for extreme late types.
Skewed Child Sex Ratios in India: A Revisit to Geographical Patterns and Socio-economic correlates
Authors: Kumari Aradhana , Goli Srinivas
Published: September 2021

This study revisits the regional and socio-economic pattern of masculinisation of Child Sex Ratios (CSR), Sex Ratio at Birth (SRB) and Sex Ratio at Last Birth (SRLB) by using the successive rounds of National Family Health Survey (NFHS). Although the masculinisation of CSR continues in many Indian states as well as in different socio-economic settings, a tremendous change in previously established patterns of CSR can be observed from the findings. District-level analysis presents an intra-state variation in CSR, SRB and SRLB, which helps in identifying the emerging ‘hotspots’ of the problem. The decline in preference for a son and rise in skewed CSR, SRB and SRLB invites the attention of researchers towards drawbacks in the method of measurement of preference for a son as people are now more aware of the legal consequences of sex-selective abortions and underreport the same.
ACTUALIZACIÓN SOBRE TERAPIA LARVAL EN HERIDAS
Authors: Martínez-Pizarro Sandra
Published: September 2021

Sr. Editor.

La terapia larval también se conoce con el nombre de terapia de gusanos o de larvas, terapia de desbridamiento por larvas o biocirugía. Se trata de una técnica en la cual se usan larvas estériles criadas en laboratorios. La función de estas larvas consiste en limpiar tejidos necrosados de heridas (sin alterar los tejidos sanos) provocando una miasis terapéutica para favorecer la cicatrización. Las larvas se pueden colocar sobre la herida de forma directa, aunque es más frecuente que se apliquen en un apósito de espuma polivinílica (1,2).

En el estudio de Han XY et al., realizado en 2019 en China, se expone que la terapia con larvas se ha utilizado para el desbridamiento y el tratamiento de heridas desde hace cientos de años. Con el descubrimiento y la aplicación de antibióticos, la terapia con larvas fue desapareciendo del campo de la medicina. Sin embargo, con el abuso de antibióticos y el aumento de la resistencia a los medicamentos de las bacterias en los últimos años, las investigaciones están volviendo a proponer el uso de la terapia con larvas (3).

En el artículo de Davies CE et al., realizado en 2015 en Reino Unido se evaluó el efecto de la terapia larval sobre las úlceras venosas crónicas, 601 participantes fueron asignados aleatoriamente a vendaje de compresión de 4 capas solo o vendaje de compresión de 4 capas más larvas, se evaluaron las áreas superficiales de úlcera y mucosa en el día 4; luego se continuó el vendaje de compresión de 4 capas y se midió el tamaño de la úlcera cada 2 semanas durante hasta 12 semanas. En el día 4, la reducción media en el área de la úlcera fue de 3,7 cm, en el grupo de vendaje de compresión de 4 capas y 4,2 cm en el grupo de vendaje de compresión de 4 capas más larvas. La reducción porcentual media del área de la úlcera fue del 50% en el grupo de vendaje de compresión de 4 capas y del 84% en el grupo de vendaje de compresión más larvas. Por tanto, la terapia de desbridamiento larval mejora el desbridamiento de heridas en las úlceras venosas crónicas de las piernas tratadas con vendajes de compresión multicapa (4).

En el estudio de Malekian A et al., realizado en 2019 en Irán, se evaluaron los efectos antimicrobianos de los gusanos medicinales de Lucilia sericata sobre Staphylococcus aureus y Pseudomonas aeruginosa, en las úlceras del pie diabético en 50 pacientes. Los sujetos fueron seleccionados al azar para el grupo tratado con larvas (tratamiento) o tratamiento convencional (control). Los tratamientos convencionales como la terapia con antibióticos, el desbridamiento y la descarga se realizaron para ambos grupos, pero la terapia con larvas se agregó al grupo de tratamiento. El número de casos infectados con S. aureus en el grupo de tratamiento se redujo significativamente después de 48 horas en comparación con el grupo de control. El número de casos infectados con P. aeruginosa, se redujo significativamente después de 96 horas. Los hallazgos indican que la terapia larval es un tratamiento seguro y eficaz de las úlceras del pie diabético (5).
“Complex and Silly” vs “Professional” and “Polite”: Russian Speakers’ Attitudes towards Bureaucratese in Advertisements
Authors: Gulida Victoria , Rudneva Ekaterina
Published: September 2021

The term bureaucratese refers to a kind of official style used regularly in official and less official contexts. The article considers reactions of ordinary Russian speakers to features of the bureaucratic style in administrative advertisements placed in transport or institutions, as well as in those broadcasted in public places. The research focuses on the category of language attitudes. The data combine interviews, results of the online survey, and publications on the internet. In the interviews and online survey people were asked to evaluate and discuss advertisements (4 photos and 2 cited oral advertisements). Respondents expressed the strongest disapproval of long phrases and syntactic complexity. Shorter texts, written in a less formal, but still marked style, received both positive and negative evaluations, criticised for being “ponderous” and “intricate”, but were sometimes called “more polite”, “proper”, and “professional”. Moreover, people have turned out to evaluate advertisements as a communication and social event of higher or lower status, with power relations behind it. As happens with functionally important and complex language varieties, the discussed code is differently evaluated by its users (who pay attention to various aspects including style, meaning, and social context).

The review examines three new monographs that focus on the sedentarization and collectivization of nomad Kazakhs at the turn of the 1930s. The American historian Sarah Cameron, the German historian Robert Kindler, and the Russian historian Fyodor Sinitsyn describe the main specifics of nomadism in the steppes of Central Asia, study the premises of the Soviet policy aimed at its liquidation, and elaborate on the consequences of that policy, including armed resistance, mass hunger, and mass flight. All three authors conclude that this policy was implemented most radically, involved active violence, and was attended by huge economic and human losses. However, the scholars refuse to classify those losses as ethnic genocide. The review discusses the structure, key arguments, and conclusions of the monographs. It also provides a comparative analysis of varying descriptions and explanations of the tragedy in Kazakhstan, particularly focusing on who was primarily responsible for the events, the role of the ideology and pragmatic objectives in the policy of sedentarization and collectivization, and the link between that policy and Soviet nation-building.

Background: This case report is based on our experience to treat, with Ayurveda drugs, a case of diabetic type -2 who was put on insulin and how Ayurvedic treatment has given him relief and maintain normal glucose levels with no associated complications. Brief case report: A 38 year’s male patient with clinical history of DMT2.Who was taking 32(20/12) units of insulin/day in 2 divided doses. The prakriti (nature) of this patient was Kapha-Pitta. By considering the Dosha and Dusya, a judicial combination of 4 primary Ayurveda drugs- Gudmar, Jamun, Nagarmotha, Sudarshan was advised to take orally in morning and evening with lukewarm water. Observations: At the beginning, his HbA1c was 11.1%. and after taking the prescribed Ayurvedic treatment along with insulin for 12 weeks, his HbA1c level reduced to 5.6%. At this stage, the insulin was withdrawn and patient continued on Ayurvedic treatment and monitored on weekly interval. After the Ayurveda treatment, need of further insulin or oral hypoglycemic agent drugs was not felt. His HbA1c was regularly monitored and it has come to normal range with improved quality of life. Conclusion: The prescribed combination of 4 drugs showed good response by maintaining normal blood sugar levels in DMT2 case, even after withdrawing insulin after 12 weeks of initial ayurvedic treatment. However, if this study is conducted in large number of patients it would help to understand the public health significance of this finding.

Nowadays Gutkhā chewing has become more common and the greatest threat to global health. It increases the risk of bad oral health and if oral hygiene is neglected, it may exacerbate in various forms of oral and periodontal diseases and finally contributes many oral cancers and even systemic diseases. Currently, there are no reliable predictors of which individuals are susceptible to this progression. But oral harmony can be restored by promoting good oral hygiene which can minimize the risk of deleterious effects of Gutkhā on the oral tissues. Āyurveda describes Gandūsha therapy under the context of Dinacharya (daily regimens) for oral health care. It has curative as well as preventive properties. Hence the present project is an attempt to evaluate the efficacy of Gandūsha on oral health; a potential natural Āyurvedic remedy for Gutkha chewers. The specific target of intervention is to check through the practice of Triphalā Kwātha Gandūsha. In the present study, a total of 30 subjects of Gutkhā chewers were selected based on selection criteria. They were advised Triphalā Kwātha Gandūsha for two times in a day for 30 days. Follow up was taken on 31st day. The study revealed that statistically Triphalā Kwātha Gandūsha showed better effect and it was found to be highly significant. Finally, the finding suggests that Gandūsha (Triphalā Kwātha) is the safest, simplest and effective potential natural Āyurvedic remedy for Gutkha chewers.

The Key to the Bible: Bonhoeffer’s Approach to the Psalms as Theological Interpretation
Authors: Huijgen Arnold
Published: September 2021

Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s approach to the Book of Psalms as the hermeneutical key to all of the Bible can help to combine historical and theological readings of the Bible. This article highlights four aspects of Bonhoeffer’s approach: (1) by reading the Psalms prayerfully and receptively, persons are drawn into the realm of God’s revelation; (2) Christ comes to the reader of the Psalms as the one who is already present, and the reader partakes of Christ’s righteousness; (3) because the Psalms are read in new contexts, Christ reshapes these contexts: life becomes open for God; (4) by definition, the Psalms are read in the community of the synagogue and the Church, since no single person has experienced all that the Psalms express. These four aspects together render reading the Psalms, and the Bible as a whole, a theological enterprise, in a hermeneutical situation defined by the living Christ. The situation of interpretation is reversed by a change of subject: God is the one reading, the interpreter is the one being interpreted.

Analisamos o discurso jurídico do Procurador da República Deltan Dallagnol na apresentação da denúncia do Ministério Público Federal contra o ex-presidente Lula, no âmbito da Operação Lava-Jato. Interessa-nos mostrar quais as estratégias utilizadas pelo Procurador para organizar e legitimar seu discurso perante a opinião pública. Objetivamos compreender quais cenografias foram acionadas para convencer a sociedade a aderir ao universo discursivo deste discurso jurídico. Empreendemos uma análise discursiva a partir das categorias de cena englobante, cena genérica, cenografia e cena validada, de Maingueneau (2013). Os resultados apontam para a construção de um discurso midiático que se apresenta sob a forma de verdade absoluta. Antes de consolidar-se como uma denúncia formal, a cenografia da denúncia do Procurador alinha-se a estratégias de espetacularização midiática, posicionando-o como principal protagonista em cena.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the late toxicities in hypo fractionated radiation schedule in breast cancer patients with regional nodal irradiation (RNI), limited to axilla and supraclavicular regions. Late effects on arm and shoulder were noted as follows: skin edema (lymphedema), restricted shoulder movements (brachial plexus injury) and localised pain.Material and Methods: In this study we randomly enrolled 100 breast cancer post mastectomy cases in the year 2018. All cases were previously asymptomatic after surgery. They were prospectively treated with hypo fractionated local and regional nodal irradiation by 2.67 gray / fraction dose, total 15 fractions (total dose-40 gray). Evaluation was done at 12 months after completion of radiation therapy. Assessment was done by RTOG, LENT- SOMA scales. Results: Significant lymphedema was observed in 17 (17%) cases. Restricted arm mobility was seen in 14 (14%) of patients. Pain (moderate/severe) in arm and shoulder was most commonly seen, in 25 (25%) cases. Conclusions: As hypo fractionated regimes in breast cancer treatment have become new standard; its late term effects are significant and comparable to other conventional radiation therapy regimes. These studies need further and longer duration of evaluation.

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of residual disease after conization in AIS women, and to develop a nomogram for predicting residual disease in such patients. Methods: Eighty-three cervical adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) patients were retrospectively reviewed. Patient data concerning: demographic characteristics, colposcopic findings and diagnosis, type of conization, size of pathologic specimens, pathological characteristics, endocervical curettage (ECC) pathology and subsequent procedures, were collected. The rate of residual disease after conization and predictive factors for residual disease in subsequent hysterectomy were analyzed, and a predictive nomogram for residual disease was developed, based on the multivariate analysis results. The statistical significance was set at a p-value of <0.05.Results: The prevalence of residual disease in hysterectomy specimens following conization was 31.8%. Five (5.7%) women with AIS, who underwent subsequent hysterectomy, were found to have invasive adenocarcinoma. According to the multivariate analysis results, the predictive factors for residual disease were a positive endocervical margin status [OR 22.5 (95% CI 4.74, 106.79)] and a depth of specimen of < 8 mm [OR 8.11 (95% CI 1.12, 58.95)]. A nomogram for the prediction of residual disease in AIS women was developed, based on these predictive factors. After bootstrapping 1000 times, the bootstrap-corrected concordance index value for predicting residual disease was 0.852. Conclusion: The residual disease was found in 31.8% of hysterectomy specimens after conization for AIS. Residual disease was strongly associated with a positive endocervical margin and a depth of specimen of <8 mm. This study reports a feasible nomogram, with an acceptable level of accuracy for predicting the individual risk of residual disease; which may be beneficial in proper management decision-making.
Tendencies in Turkey-based academic studies on distance education during the covid-19 pandemic
Authors: ELÇİÇEK Mithat
Published: September 2021

This study examines the tendencies in Turkey-based scientific articles related to distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this qualitative study, content analysis and categorical analysis were used. The population of the study is comprised of Turkey-based academic studies on distance education while the sample consists of 125 scientific research articles published until April 2021 and included in the Google Scholar database. Tendencies in studies on distance education were examined in terms of article information, research methods, samples, data collection tools, data analysis methods, and subjects or topics. The "publication classification form" developed by the researcher was used for data collection. As a result of the study, it is seen that qualitative research methods and case studies are frequently used while sample groups consisting of undergraduate students and interview forms are mainly preferred. It was also determined that the studies focus on research subjects that examine the opinions on distance education according to various demographic variables. In consecutive studies on this subject, diversification has been recommended in terms of subjects and methods, designs, participants from whom data is collected, and data collection tools.
Is it possible to teach English through EBA TV? Exploring student teachers’ concerns and self-efficacy beliefs
Authors: KAYGISIZ Seval , BALÇIKANLI Cem
Published: September 2021

This qualitative study explored student teachers’ perceptions and feelings about teaching English in an emergency remote teaching platform, Educational Information Network TV. To this end, sixty-eight student teachers participated in this study. The participants were first invited to watch English language courses specifically designed for primary and secondary-level education provided through this medium of instruction. They were later asked to write two-page reflective journals on the strengths and weaknesses of these courses drawing upon their own feelings and opinions. Their written reflections were content analyzed, and the findings revealed two main themes: student teachers’ concerns and self-efficacy beliefs. More specifically, the student teachers were concerned about macro-level factors, pedagogical issues, teachers’ competencies, and context-dependent factors. Additionally, the findings shed light on the contributing factors to their self-efficacy beliefs. They attributed their future success to student-oriented factors, teacher-oriented factors, and parental involvement. The overall findings showed that their concerns outweighed their perceived self-efficacy beliefs. We hope that these findings will inform second language teacher education programs for the future since it could be of pivotal importance to prepare student teachers for distance or online learning platforms by helping them deal with their concerns and enriching their self-efficacy beliefs in their own teaching contexts.
The effect of emergency remote teaching on the university students’ end-of-term achievement
Authors: YAKAR Levent
Published: September 2021

This study aimed to examine the effect of emergency remote teaching (ERT) on the end-of-term achievement of university students. Accordingly, two sets of end-of-term achievement scores of all students attending Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University, a Turkish state university were compared in terms of educational modality. More specifically, the first set was comprised of scores the students obtained from the tests at the end of 2019-2020 academic year when the courses were delivered via face-to-face education while the second set consisted of scores they obtained from the tests at the end of 2020-2021 academic year when the courses were virtually conducted due to ERT exerted by Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, the views of students and instructors about the differences between the achievement scores driven by ERT and reflection of actual learning in scores during this period were analyzed. The findings indicated that the achievement scores obtained in associate degree and undergraduate degree programs were significantly increased during ERT while no statistically significant difference was found in the scores obtained in graduate degree programs. The findings also showed that the students and instructors are well aware of the increase in achievement scores, which they attributed to various factors such as lack of exam security and devoting more time to the lesson. They generally agreed that the achievement scores obtained in ERT do not reflect the actual learning level of students. Finally, it was revealed that the subjective perceptions about the change in the achievement scores largely overlapped with the objective statistical results.

Published: September 2021

This study was conducted to examine the relationship among university students’ new media literacy, epistemic emotions, argumentativeness, online self-regulation learning, and online learning self-efficacy perceptions. An associational research design guided the study including structural equation modeling analysis. A total of 3395 students from a state university in Turkey participated in the study through online learning management system of the university during Covid-19 pandemic period. Five different Likert scales were utilized to collect data. Analyses showed that university students’ self-efficacy perceptions and online self-regulated learning skills seemed to be effective on their epistemic emotions, argumentativeness and new media literacy skills. Also, participants’ epistemic emotions partly predicted their argumentativeness and new media literacy skills. Considering these results, designing online learning environments respectful for university students’ intellectual differentiation was suggested.
