EFL Learners' Belief in English Only Instruction: A promising or ineffective approach at the tertiary level in Iraq
Authors: Yucedal Hur Mustafa
Published: August 2024

Learning English has increased its popularity exponentially thanks to global needs in numerous fields. Accordingly, various means of instruction have been adopted to master English. English-only instruction, the alternative to code-switching, is one of them that urges educators and learners to communicate through English. Although many studies have examined the effectiveness of English-only instruction, a gap has been observed in the literature regarding students’ opinions at a tertiary level in the Iraq context. To this aim, 50 students who studied at TISHK International University’s Language Preparatory School in the 2022–2023 Academic Year were chosen via snowball sampling. Participants evaluated English-only instruction in terms of the overall program, instructors, and administration. The primary instrument used to collect data was a survey. Collected data, analyzed by SPSS 26 and NVivo, respectively, unearthed that English-only instruction received favorable feedback in terms of holistic English mastery, creativity, motivation, and time management. However, some communication barriers, thereby having low learning rates were cited by a few students as weaknesses of chosen instruction. Likewise, the instructors’ efforts to teach English through Web 2.0 tools, practice exams, real-life examples, and principles of student centered approach were appreciated without leaving any room for hesitation. Similarly, the administrators’ initiatives to guide, form, monitor, examine and take appropriate action to promote the quality of education with an English-only policy received positive feedback. The findings of this study may have certain implications for stakeholders who are interested in the implementation of English-only instruction at their institutions on a global scale.

Published: August 2024

The study focuses on the slope and soil characteristics of the Aba North, Aba South, Oboma Ngwa, and Ugwunagbo regions in southeastern Nigeria. Understanding these characteristics is crucial for determining land suitability, identifying erosion-prone areas, and informing sustainable land use practices. The primary aim of this study is to analyze the slope distribution and soil types to assess their implications for erosion risk and land management strategies in the study area. Soil types were classified into Dystric Nitosols and Xanthic Ferralsols, with their erodibility assessed using the K-Factor. Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques were used to map the spatial distribution of slopes and soil types. The slope analysis revealed that the majority of the area consists of flat to gently sloping terrain, with 198.81 km² in the 1.77 - 3.15 degrees range and 175.80 km² in the 0 - 1.37 degrees range. These areas are suitable for agriculture and urban development due to their stability. Moderate slopes (3.15 - 7.77 degrees) covered 86.38 km², while steep slopes (7.77 - 23.33 degrees) covered 2.42 km². Dystric Nitosols covered 42.07 km² with a lower K-Factor of 0.0178, indicating low erodibility, while Xanthic Ferralsols covered 505.60 km² with a higher K-Factor of 0.0187. The findings suggest that flat to gently sloping areas are ideal for development and agriculture due to their lower erosion risk. However, moderate and steep slopes require careful management to prevent erosion. The dominance of Xanthic Ferralsols, which are more erodible, necessitates targeted conservation strategies to maintain soil fertility and minimize land degradation. This study highlights the critical role of slope and soil analysis in informing land use planning and erosion risk management. Integrating these insights into land management practices is essential to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure sustainable development in the region. This research provides a comprehensive analysis of the terrain and soil characteristics of the study area, offering valuable insights for policymakers and land managers to develop effective soil conservation and land use strategies. The study underscores the importance of utilizing slope and soil data to inform sustainable land management and mitigate erosion risks.

Published: August 2024

Integrating smart grid technologies represents a pivotal advancement in modernizing electrical grids and enhancing efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. This publication explores the role of advanced procurement strategies, specifically leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), in streamlining the sourcing and integration of smart grid components. By examining current challenges, potential solutions, and the impact on national security and economic stability, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive framework for the effective implementation of smart grid technologies. The traditional electrical grid, characterized by its centralized generation and unidirectional power flow, faces numerous challenges, such as inefficiency, susceptibility to outages, and inability to integrate renewable energy sources effectively (Brown et al., 2020). The transformation to a smart grid infrastructure, which incorporates digital communication technology and advanced sensors, promises significant improvements. However, the transition is fraught with challenges, particularly in the procurement and integration of the necessary components. One of the primary challenges in smart grid integration is the complexity of supply chains. The procurement of smart grid components involves multiple stakeholders, including manufacturers, suppliers, and regulatory bodies. This complexity often leads to delays, increased costs, and inefficiencies (Smith & Wang, 2019). Additionally, the high initial costs of smart grid technologies pose a barrier to widespread adoption. Traditional procurement methods struggle to balance cost-efficiency with the need for high-quality, durable components, often resulting in budget overruns or compromised quality.
Mathematical analysis of spin transport in topological insulators to optimize memory devices performance using numerical simulations
Authors: Moses Udoisoh  , Akpan Samuel Akpan
Published: August 2024

Understanding spin transport in topological insulators (TIs) is crucial for the development of spin-based technologies, such as magnetic memory, sensors, and quantum bits. To optimize memory device performance, we developed a comprehensive mathematical model that describes the evolution of spin density, as a function of space and time, taking into account spin-momentum locking, spin-orbit coupling, spin dynamics, and diffusive transport processes (including phonon and impurity scattering). Using numerical simulations (finite element method and Backward Euler Method) implemented in Python, we analyzed the spin transport in TIs. Our study demonstrated a critical dependence of spin transport efficiency on device length, with a maximum efficiency of 75% at a length of 8 micrometers. Beyond a critical length of 10 micrometers, efficiency recovered, reaching 80% at 14 micrometers. We observed oscillatory behavior in spin polarization, with amplitude modulation indicating constructive and destructive interference patterns. The inclusion of spin-orbit coupling and Dirac terms in our model revealed a non-uniform spin polarization distribution, with a 30% increase in polarization near the center. Defects and boundaries significantly impacted spin transport, reducing polarization by 40% near the defect region. Through optimization, we achieved a 25% increase in spin transport efficiency and a 20% enhancement in memory device performance. Our results demonstrate the crucial role of optimizing device length, material quality, and interface engineering in achieving efficient spin transport and improved memory device performance, paving the way for the development of high-performance spin-based technologies.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma (CLM) is a rare malignancy arising from smooth muscle cells in the skin. It constitutes 2%-3% of all cutaneous soft tissue sarcomas and is known for its propensity for local recurrence and distant metastasis. Common metastatic sites include the lungs, liver, and brain. Diagnosis involves clinical examination and histopathological analysis, while management typically involves surgical excision, with adjunctive therapies like radiation and chemotherapy often considered due to its aggressive nature. Metastasis rates are reported as 12% for dermal and 51% for subcutaneous CLM. Case Report: A 40-year-old female with a history of excised leiomyosarcoma on the right buttock presented with a large, painful mass in the right inguinal region. Imaging revealed a substantial subcutaneous mass with significant local invasion and inguinal lymphadenopathy. Histopathological examination confirmed metastatic leiomyosarcoma. The patient showed anemia and elevated white blood cell count. Literature Review: Various cases reveal that CLM typically presents as nodular masses, primarily managed by surgical excision. Metastasis is rare but can occur, particularly in subcutaneous tumors. Inguinal region metastasis is highly unusual, with most cases showing spread to distant organs or regional lymph nodes. Imaging and histopathological findings are crucial for diagnosis. Discussion: CLM, while less metastatic compared to other sarcomas, requires vigilant monitoring due to its potential for local recurrence and distant spread. Metastasis to the inguinal region is exceptionally rare, highlighting the need for ongoing research to better understand such anomalies. Conclusion: CLM generally has a better prognosis than other sarcomas, but early detection of recurrence and metastasis is crucial. The rare occurrence of inguinal region metastasis emphasizes the importance of comprehensive surveillance and further research to understand this phenomenon better.

Published: August 2024

Background: Cervical dilation at the onset of the active phase of labor determines the rate of cervical dilatation and the duration of the active phase of labor. Identifying the abnormality toward the natural progress of the active phase of labor is important because timely intervention has been observed to be controversial among developing countries during the current practice among health care providers due to different opinion on the onset of the active phase. Thus, indication like poor progress of labor has been poorly explained in which it has become a common indication for a steady increased rate of primary cesarean section and increased new born morbidity due to birth asphyxia. Objective: This study aimed at determining the rate of cervical dilatation and duration of active phase of labor among low-risk pregnant women delivered at Dodoma Regional Referral Hospital. Methods: This is a hospital-based prospective cross-sectional study where systematic sampling method was employed in obtaining sample of 300 pregnant women. Local partograph and a semi structured questionnaire were used to record the information and findings. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. One sample t-test was used to determine and compare the rate and duration of active labor with the WHO standard rate. P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean rate of cervical dilatation during active phase for nulliparous was 0.81cm/hour and multiparous was 0.89cm/hour respectively, which is observed to be slower than standard WHO rates. The duration of the active phase of labor was 7.6 hours for nulliparous and 6.8 hours for multiparous. Conclusion: The rate of cervical dilatation was much slower hence the longer duration of active phase in both groups than the WHO standards.

Women and Power in Early Islamic History: Jawari of the Abbasid Court (786-861 AD)
Authors: Hannan Haukil , Syaie Akhmad Najibul Khairi
Published: August 2024

The significant presence of jawari owned by the caliphs of Islam became a phenomenon during the early period (170 AH/ 786 AD-247 AH/861 AD) of Abbasid rule. This article aims to examine why the early Abbasid rulers (786-861 AD) "kept" many jawari in their palaces and whether they had relations with all of them. Through a historical and sociological approach, the findings of this study indicate that the large number of jawari owned by the Abbasid caliphs during the early period was closely related to the advancements (economic, social, and political) achieved by the Abbasids at that time; the acceptance of slavery in Islam, territorial expansion (futuhat), the growth of economic trade sectors, the flourishing of entertainment in society, and the influence of Ctesiphon. Furthermore, the ownership of a large number of jawari did not necessarily indicate strong sexual desires of the caliphs; rather, it primarily served as a symbol of power, as evidenced by the fact that only individuals with significant authority typically possessed numerous jawari. This was also supported by a strong tradition of rewarding enslaved individuals as gifts, and the fact that not all Jariyah were intimate with their masters.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Music Education Technology, Chang Rebecca , Roh Kyeong-won , Lee Hyunsu
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this research is to suggest the new approach of the music education that utilizes the IoT technology. To achieve this, we explored IoT and examined the AI, ICT and IoT tools currently used in music education. IoT technology offers advantages such as facilitating interactive communication, enabling easier interactions, and expanding the range of physical movements. However, most music education tools currently available on the market are primarily based on AI and ICT. Among the IoT-based tools, there were very few that used movement to teach music. Thus, the IoT-based movement music education system “Muvement” has been invented. This system is composed of the features ‘drawing movement’ and ‘making music'. Unlike traditional music education applications that rely on small screens of phones, tablets, or computer monitors, this technology enables learners to explore and learn musical elements by utilizing a larger space and engaging their entire bodies. Through this, learners can actively explore music with visual and auditory feedback and experience music in a creative way. This extends static and two-dimensional music activities into dynamic and three-dimensional experiences, opening up new possibilities for the future of music education. The technology can be used in various areas of music education such as performance, listening, and creation, as well as in collaborative lessons with other subjects like art and physical education. Outside of school, it can be used as a tool to enhance musical abilities and promote physical and mental health for different age groups, including young children, adults, and the elderly. Furthermore, it offers new approaches in the performing arts field and in rehabilitation therapy programs, expanding its social value and cultural impact. This study introduces the technology and its applications, highlighting the need for further research to concretely reveal the educational and physiological effects and significance of the technology in music education.

Supervisors' dispositions have not received enough attention as potential antecedents to employees' knowledge - hiding behaviors. Based on this, the current study investigates the impact of abusive supervision on knowledge-hiding behaviors, considering the mediating role of work disengagement in this relationship, as well as investigating the moderating role of perceived organizational support in the study model. Data was obtained from frontline service employees of five-star hotels in Sharm El-Sheikh and tourism companies in Cairo, Egypt, by a questionnaire that surveyed 298 employees. The collected data was scrutinized using the Smart PLS-structural equation modeling technique. The PLS-SEM statistics proved the highly positive and significant effect of abusive supervision on knowledge-hiding behavior and employees’ work disengagement, supported the mediating effect of work disengagement, and the moderating effect of perceived organizationa l support. The study highlights some practical implications for hotels, such as implementing integrated knowledge offering a digital library, continuous management and administrative skills training, and behavioral training to facilitate the gaining of knowledge and enhance staff skills, self-confidence, loyalty, and job security. It also strongly suggests adopting a strategy to monitor abusive supervisors through open communication channels, regularly conducting exit interviews to reduce turnover, and enhancing engagement, thereby preventing abusive practices.

Barthes mengemukakan bahwa bentuk yang mampu menyampaikan makna, mitos adalah suatu sistem komunikasi yang spesifik. Simbol-simbol visual merupakan komponen utama komunikasi politik, dan maknanya semakin meningkat seiring dengan semakin dominannya media visual televisi serta media sosial sebagai sumber informasi politik. Citra visual memainkan peran sentral dalam membangun citra politik dan membangun komunikasi politik untuk menggali lebih dalam tentang bagaimana fungsi simbol visual yang di maknai oleh public. Berdasarkan tinjauan literatur yang berkembang penelitian ini berpendapat bahwa bagaimana fungsi simbol visual dalam urusan publik. Pentingnya gaya busana saat muncul di hadapan public merupakan “fashion statement” mereka di debat ke tiga yang sesuai dengan tema serta menarik perhatian dari berbagai generasi. Ganjar dan Mahfud memakai jaket dari merek lokal Timechine Co dan sepatu merek lokal yaitu Exodos57. Fashion statement tersebut juga mencerminkan pada visi misi “Made in Indonesia” Meningkatkan kapasitas produksi dalam negeri untuk memenuhi kebutuhan domestik dan pertumbuhan industri nasional, serta menempatkan Indonesia pada posisi daya saing strategis di pasar global.

Extensions of Open Science for Applied Behavior Analysis: Preregistration for Single Case Experimental Designs
Authors: Tincani Matt , Gilroy Shawn , Dowdy Art
Published: August 2024

Open science practices are designed to enhance the utility, integrity, and credibility of scientific research. This paper highlights how preregistration as a key open science practice can be leveraged to enhance the rigor and transparency of single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) within an applied behavior analysis (ABA) framework. We provide an overview of the benefits of preregistration, including increased transparency, reduced risk of researcher bias, and improved replicability, and we review the specific contexts under which these practices most benefit the proposed framework. We discuss potential concerns with and unique considerations for preregistering SCED experiments, with practical guidance for researchers seeking to preregister their studies. We present a checklist as a tool for ABA researchers to engage in preregistration and provide recommendations for our field to strengthen the contingencies for open science practices inclusive of preregistration.

Background: Little is known about how young men who have committed sexual assault mightacknowledge wrongdoing and eventually change and make amends. There are practical barriers to seeking the real redemption stories of perpetrators.Objective: To explore hypothetical pathways to young men’s accountability-taking and amends (i.e., redemption) after perpetration of sexual assault.Method: In a pre-registered, qualitative story completion study, we presented heterosexual, cisgender college men (N = 54) with a date-based sexual assault story written by a fictional male perpetrator. Participants were prompted to complete the story so that the protagonist, who initially denies wrongdoing, eventually changes and becomes a violence prevention advocate.Results: A thematic analysis of the redemption stories revealed that this study’s speculative task was a challenging one. Half of the stories did not provide an explanation for how the perpetrator was able to acknowledge wrongdoing. Overall, individualistic themes (e.g., he introspected) were more common than relational, community, or societal facilitators of redemption.Conclusions: Without infrastructure for accountability-taking and repair, or narrative exemplars to draw from in public life, it is difficult to envision redemption from violence. Rare gender- based, structurally attuned analyses of sexual violence in the stories point the way toward a more transformative vision of redemption.
Making Brave Space: Beading, Reconciliation, and Urban Indigenous Geographies
Authors: Dumas Daniel
Published: August 2024

While cities have historically sought to displace and exclude Indigenous peoples through a multitude of state-sanctioned discriminatory policies such as the Indian Act, today, Indigenous peoples and cultures are flourishing across Canada’s urban landscape and are creating new urban Indigenous geographies. Young Indigenous peoples are part and parcel of the vibrancy of urban Indigenous communities, especially given their involvement in promoting Indigenous cultures to wider audiences through social media. This project focuses on the spaces of solidarity and cultural exchange created by beadwork. This traditional art form and practice represents an important marker of Indigenous identity and a true form of cultural resurgence. While beadwork can represent a clear expression of one’s identity in the city, it also provides opportunities for social gathering and exchange. One such example are beading circles where participants gather to bead and socialize. Focusing on the city of Ottawa, Canada’s national capital, the study brings together the experiences of 13 post-secondary Indigenous students and artists, considering the role of beading circles on university campuses and how they can serve as what one interlocutor termed “brave spaces” and as sites of cultural and social exchange between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. It is argued that these networks of learning, exchange, and solidarity enable the formation of an urban sense of place while contributing to an Indigenous right to the city and to difference, ultimately furthering the process of Indigenous urbanism and the national project of truth, reconciliation, and healing.
ON THE CONCEPT AND LEGAL NATURE OF RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP OF LAND REAL ESTATE
Authors:   Volgograd Humanitarian Institute, CHARKIN S.A.
Published: August 2024

The purpose of the work is to study the issue of the concept of restrictions on ownership of land real estate and the place of this doctrinal category in the system of civil concepts. The main attention was paid to the consideration of the relationship between the categories of restrictions, encumbrances and the limits of the right of private and public ownership of land real estate.The objectives of the work include the formulation of the definition and identification of the legal nature of restrictions on ownership of land real estate. It is substantiated that restrictions on the ownership of land real estate are a set of prohibitions established in federal laws and additional obligations of citizens and legal entities, narrowing the scope of their rights to use and/or dispose of land plots to ensure public goals and interests. The evidence of the differences between restrictions and related legal concepts, including encumbrances and limits of ownership of immovable land, is presented. It is proved that the establishment of restrictions does not entail the exclusion of any authority of the owner, but his ability to use or dispose of land real estate is decreasing (narrowing). This may manifest itself in a ban on the sale of land to foreigners or a ban on improving the site by means of land reclamation, etc.
