Authors: Ziegler Jackie A , Silberg Joshua N. , Araujo Gonzalo , Labaja Jessica , Ponzo Alessandro , Rollins Rick , Dearden Philip
Published: March 2019

This study explored the ethics of provisioning wildlife to enhance tourist interactions at a whale shark tourism site in Oslob, Philippines. TripAdvisor comments (n=947) and tourist surveys (n=761) were used to better understand tourists’ perceptions of whale shark provisioning in Oslob. The ethical decisions made were then critically assessed using utilitarian and animal welfare ethical philosophies. The majority of respondents supported whale shark provisioning, despite many being aware of the ethical complications of provisioning sharks for tourism purposes. Respondents justified their participation in this activity using mainly economic, human enjoyment, and animal welfare arguments. A utilitarian assessment of the potential costs and benefits of this activity highlighted the gaps in our knowledge regarding the economic and social benefits of this activity, as well as the negative impacts on the sharks’ welfare. Until such analyses are completed, significant ethical questions remain regarding the provisioning of these sharks.

Authors: Restuningrum Novi Rahayu
Published: March 2019

This paper explores the change in parents’ motivation for wanting their children to be bilingual.Derived from a larger study done between 2011-2015, the paper portrays how parents who, at thetime of data collection resided in Australia, changed motivation for communicating with theirchildren bilingually. Evolving from my personal experience and supported by data from tworesearch participants with similar experience, the paper presents an explanatory discussion onhow parents changed motivation for raising children bilingually, which is due to the change ingeographic setting.Using auto-ethnographic approach, I discuss the shifts of motivation that implicate especially inthe preferences for relative emphasis on L1 and L2, to correspond to the change in thesociolinguistic set-up due to the different settings a family has moved to. The early reason whyparents want their children to be able to communicate in two languages in the period priorgeographic movement from countries where English is a foreign language has changed after theylive in Australia. Parents had been motivated to make their children bilingual when they are inthe non-English-speaking contexts because they want their children to catch up with theglobalised world communication, while their main reason for having bilingual children after theylive in Australia is to maintain their heritage culture and language.This paper is expected to enhance the discussion in the field of bilingualism, especially aboutparents’ motivation for children bilingualism, which extends the discussion in other research.

Authors: Dahnilsyah Dahnilsyah
Published: March 2019

This is a qualitative study with descriptive data presentation. It is aimed at investigating the tendency of abuse of power in exploiting personal pronouns of Obama’s political speeches.The employed grand theory in this study is social cognition theory introduced by Teun, A. Vandijk. There are three aspects that need to be empowered: textual, social cognition and social context in disclosing the implied meanings of the use of personal pronouns in Obama’s political speeches.The data of this study were gathered by means of speech transcript collections of Obama’s speeches: 2010, 2011 and 2014 concerning terrorism issues. These transcripts obtained from online media which had been spread worldwide. The objective of this study is to describe which personal pronouns frequently exploited by Obama in his political speeches and discover the hidden meanings of the adopted personal pronouns.The findings demonstrate that: (1) Obama, tends to use personal pronouns ‘we' and ‘our', (2) Obama seems to have been selective in exploiting personal pronouns by referring to both certain contexts and situations before and after the speech was delivered, (3) The features of Obama's speeches are rhetorical, persuasive and manipulative. In terms of cognition and social context, these speeches indicate that intelligence, personal and social experiences do influence towards the emergence of a discourse. The implicitly conditioned and engineered dominance and hegemony are not considered as a force or coercion. Rather, it is thought as a common and justified when being exposed frequently.

BACKCHANNELS IN THE INTERACTIONS OF INDONESIAN L2 SPEAKERS OF ENGLISH IN AUSTRALIAN ACADEMIC CONTEXT
Authors: Purwanti Indah Tri
Published: March 2019

Abstract: This study investigated backchannels, short verbal responses such as yeah, employed by Indonesian L2 speakers of English in the interactions with L1 speakers of Australian English in Australian academic setting. The naturally-occurring dyadic interactions were audiotaped and scrutinised in a sequential analysis of conversation analysis. The examination was aimed to scrutinise the pragmatic functions and the placement of backchannels within the sequential organisation of the interactions. The findings showed that they used backchannel responses involving non-lexical items, lexical items, and combinations of lexical and non-lexical items. Backchannel responses existed in different linguistic environments that may be culturally specific such as after you know. Backchannels were used to show attentiveness, agreement, and comprehension of the speaker’s talk. Besides, they also employed backchannels to express politeness to satisfy the supervisors’ positive face in the interactions. In this study, they appear to converge their linguistic devices to that of their supervisors.
A NEEDS ASSESSMENT APPROACH TO ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES (ESP) BASED SYLLABUS DESIGN IN BANGLADESH VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION (BVTE)
Authors: Rauf Md Abdul
Published: March 2019

Abstract: This paper describes the initial phase of a needs analysis which is developed in the context of Bangladesh Vocational and Technical Education (BVTE) with the aim to identify the needs of a target group of learners and introduce English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course design. Although the compulsory English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses have been used at various programs of BVTE since 1996, they were not based on any systemic Needs Analysis nor have they been subjected to any evaluation. The paper also aims to conducts a Needs Analysis to obtain data which will be used to develop a meaningful, useful and beneficial, common core ESP programme for Bangladesh Vocational and Technical Board (BVTB) students. This process takes into account the needs of the various stakeholders involved including the policy makers, decision-makers, subject and language teachers and prospective employers. It mainly will make use of Hutchinson and Waters’ (1987) Learning-centred approach, Holliday and Nunan’s (1988) Needs Analysis description for conducting the Needs Analysis and specifying the content for a common-core ESP course. A mix method is adopted with questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, classroom observation and document study being the main data gathering tools, in order to ensure triangulation of data.

Published: March 2019

Abstract: This study aims to improve students’ motivation in Management Accounting courses by using social media as a learning media in the classroom. The use of social media is inspired by the fact that that most of internet users are 19-34 years old, which is around 49.52% of them access social media more than 3 hours per day (2017 APJII survey). Participants of this study were students of STIE Persada Bunda who took Management Accounting course at the 2018/2019 Academic Year. This study employed Classroom Action Research method with 2 cycles with descriptive analysis. Before using media social as a learning media, the average value of students’ motivation was 60%. In the first cycle it was obtained that an average value of students’ motivation was 71%. It means that student of STIE Persada Bunda motivation was high. The second cycle obtained that an average value of students’ motivation was 82%. This means that motivation of students of STIE Persada Bunda was very high. This study reveals that students’ motivation has been significantly increased. It is expected that learning achievement of students in management accounting course will be increased too.
Application of Computed Tomography (CT) Attenuation Values in Diagnosis of Transudate and Exudate in Patients with Pleural Effusion
Authors: Sharma Keshab , Lamichhane PS , Sharma BK
Published: March 2019

Background: Pleural effusion is the pathologic accumulation of fluid in the pleural space. The fluid analysis yields important diagnostic information, and in certain cases, fluid analysis alone is enough for diagnosis. Analysis of pleural fluid by thoracentesis with imaging guidance helps to determine the cause of pleural effusion. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of computed tomography (CT) in characterizing pleural fluid based on attenuation values and CT appearance.

Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 100 patients admitted to Gandaki Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Pokhara, Nepal between January 1, 2017 and February 28, 2018. Patients who were diagnosed with pleural effusion and had a chest CT followed by diagnostic thoracentesis within 48 hours were included in the study. Effusions were classified as exudates or transudates using laboratory biochemistry markers on the basis of Light’s criteria. The mean attenuation values of the pleural effusions were measured in Hounsfield units in all patients using a region of interest with the greatest quantity of fluid. Each CT scan was also reviewed for the presence of additional pleural features.

Results: According to Light’s criteria, 26 of 100 patients with pleural effusions had transudates, and the remaining patients had exudates. The mean attenuation of the exudates (16.5 ±1.7 HU; 95% CI, range, -33.4 – 44 HU) was significantly higher than the mean attenuation of the transudates (11.6 ±0.57 HU; 95% CI, range, 5 - 16 HU), (P = 0.0001). None of the additional CT features accurately differentiated exudates from transudates (P = 0.70). Fluid loculation was found in 35.13% of exudates and in 19.23% of transudates. Pleural thickening was found in 29.7% of exudates and in 15.3% of transudates. Pleural nodule was found in 10.8% of exudates which all were related to the malignancy.

Conclusion: CT attenuation values may be useful in differentiating exudates from transudates. Exudates had significantly higher Hounsfield units in CT scan. Additional signs, such as fluid loculation, pleural thickness, and pleural nodules were more commonly found in patients with exudative effusions and could be considered and may provide further information for the differentiation.

Published: March 2019

Introduction: Annual incidence of femoral head fracture is constantly increasing due to increase in cases of road traffic accidents (RTA). Four to 17% of femoral head fractures are due to posterior dislocations of hip. Outcome of femoral head facture associated with posterior dislocation of hip, the pipkin I and II fracture, is unsatisfactory due to lack of universally accepted protocol for its management and treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the patient outcome using relatively newer approach, the Trochanteric Flip (digastrics) Osteotomy (TFO), for the precise anatomical reduction of femoral head fractures associated with posterior dislocation of hip.

Methods: Between 2013 and 2017, 21 patients with sustained isolated femoral head fracture were admitted at our hospital. We used TFO approach for the management and treatment of femoral head fractures. The patients were followed up for 42 months at different intervals. Clinical outcome were evaluated using Merle d’Aubigne Postel and Thompson-Epstein scale.

Results: Retrospective analysis showed excellent, good, fair and poor results in five (23.8%) patients, 13 (61.9%) patients, two (9.5%) patients and one (4.7%) patient, respectively. Clinical outcomes included sciatic nerve injury (4.7%), moderate arthritis (95.3%), benign non-debilitating heterotrophic ossification (19%), avascular necrosis of femoral head (4.7%) and neuropraxia (4.7%).

Conclusions: Use of trochanteric flip osteotomy gives the favorable outcome for the treatment of this type of fracture. Most importantly, the vascularity of femoral head remains intact which makes TFO a very useful technique for pipkin I and II fracture treatment.

Introduction: Self-rated health reflects respondents’ overall perceptions of their general health status. It is a simple and reliable measure of general health status of the population.

Objective: The objective of the study was to assess prevalence and associated factors of poor self-rated health among adult population in Machhapuchhre Rural Municipality of Kaski District, Nepal.

Methods: A cross-sectional household survey was conducted among adult population at Machhapuchhre Rural Municipality. A structured questionnaire was used for the face to face interview. Household survey was conducted in July 2018. Self-rated health was measured by using a single question such as ‘In general, how would you rate your health?’ Responses were arranged along a five-point Likert-type scale: ‘excellent’, ‘good’, ‘fair’, ‘poor’ and very poor. The outcome variable was dichotomized as ‘good’ (excellent, good or fair) or ‘poor’ (poor or very poor). Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed; and odds ratios with corresponding 95% confidence intervals for poor self-rated health were presented.

Results: Of total respondents, 13.2% respondents reported that they perceived their health as poor. Of the total, 14.3% respondents stated themselves as overweight and 8.8% mentioned they were unhappy. The study found that illiterate respondents, respondents with smoking habit and the individuals with poor psychological conditions were more likely to perceive their health as poor. Illiteracy, current smoking, perceived overweight, unhappiness, suicidal ideation and having depressed feeling were significant factors associated with poor self-rated health in the study.

Conclusion: Education, health behavior and psychosocial health variables has important influences on self-rated health.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF CINEMA TO PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT: BADIOU AND DELEUZE
Authors: THWAİTES DİKEN Ebru
Published: March 2019

Today we live in a cinematic society governed by images and by media culture. Governmentality depends on the staging of social reality through visual dispositifs. Cinema is a significant dispositif in this context. This article first explores the relationship of cinema to modernity and spectacle and to the foundations of modern power. Besides being a governmental dispositif, cinema is also a social phenomenon. Turning social life into representation, cinema not only depicts, but also constructs social reality and shapes the social unconscious. As Bazin (2011) has argued, cinema provides its audience with tools with which to philosophize. The article compares Badiou’s and Deleuze’s approaches to cinema, which suggest that, although the cinematic thought is not reducible to the philosophical, cinema always stages a philosophical encounter, affecting new ways of thinking and being.
King Richard III: How a Man Becomes a Monster
Authors: Thompson Angelina
Published: March 2019

History is notorious for being written by the victors, often to the detriment of truth. The losers are usually portrayed as small and insignificant to the course of history. However, such erasure can happen to the greatest and most influential people, even kings. King Richard III is perhaps one of the most infamous kings to wear the English crown. He has been depicted as a ruthless, power hungry villain by famous humanists such as Thomas More, and immortalized as a deformed monster by William Shakespeare. For over five hundred years, historians have commonly agreed with More’s and Shakespeare’s verdicts. It was not until recently that supporters of Richard took up the king’s case to truly examine the evidence against him. Some historians now see Richard, not as evil monster, but as man responding to a political crisis. Less clear, however, is the process by which the image of Richard III as England’s ‘Black Legend’ actually came into being. In this paper, I intend to trace the origin of that extremely negative assessment of both the man and his reign. My goal is to show how the image of the Duke of Gloucester as a monster is largely a literary construct.

In this text we present reflections on the challenges of school education, especially Environmental Education, for students in the current basic school in view of the impasses that persist in the teaching profession and the construction of scientific knowledge. The assumptions we make are based on the perspective of historical-cultural psychology developed by Vigotsky and scholars in this field of knowledge. We go through the situation that has marked the Brazilian educational context, and in the end we present the suggestion of insertion of socioenvironmental training in school work as one of the possibilities for the transformation and emancipation of the educational and social practices. We understand that environmental education based on critical aspects such as presented by Marxist psychology favors the increase in teaching work, through the insertion of dilemmas and emerging issues, usually unrelated or superficially worked, in curricula and in current school practices.

For example, the students get difficulties to distinguish in pronouncing certain sounds of vowels such as between /e/ in ‘beg’ and /æ/ in ‘bag’, /ei/ in ‘wait’ and /e/ in ‘wet’. Sometimes, the students will be able to identify specific problem sounds and sometimes they will not. Another challenge resulting from differences in the first language is the inability to hear certain English sounds that the students’ native language does not contain. Therefore, the study was aimed at finding out the main factors that cause the students’ English pronunciation errors and identifying the types of the students’ English pronunciation errors.

In relation to the data gained, the data findings showed that the main factors that caused the students’ English pronunciation errors were coming from internal factors (lack of practice, lack of self-confidence, and lack of exposure) and from the external factors (the differences in pronunciation between the students’ first language (Sundanese) and their target language (English) and the differences between what the correct pronunciation that should be pronounced and its writing actually). After the investigation, the types of English pronunciation errors made by the students in vowels sound were: long and short vowels, diphthongs, and triphthongs.
