2. Riesgos socionaturales y tecnológicos en las comunidades desde la percepción de los discentes universitarios
Authors: Leal Rivero José Javier
Published: May 2020

Se presenta una investigación cuantitativa con diseño de campo exploratoria, con propósito principal de evaluar la percepción de los discentes de la Universidad Politécnica Territorial del estado Trujillo “Mario Briceño Iragorry”, respecto a los Riesgos Socionaturales y Tecnológicos que puedan afectar sus comunidades. Se aplicó un cuestionario con respuestas cerradas a setenta (70) estudiantes del Programa Nacional de Formación en Administración. La validez del instrumento se obtuvo mediante un análisis factorial en relación del constructo. La confiabilidad se obtuvo por el Coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach, ubicándose en 0,986. Como resultado se observa que la mayoría de los discentes identifican los riesgos con los desastres que son provocados por eventos asociados a la naturaleza y sus procesos de equilibrio. Se concluye que la percepción es canalizada hacia eventos relacionados con los fenómenos de la naturaleza, limitando el enfoque hacia los aspectos sociales y tecnológicos o las amenazas antrópicas.

A dignidade da mulher em questão: uma análise ético-interpretativa da violência de gênero a partir de Juízes 19
Authors: Boccato de Almeida André Luiz , De Paula Patrícia Carneiro
Published: May 2020

O presente artigo propõe-se a analisar a questão da violência no contexto bíblico, como em Juízes 19, fazendo uma aproximação interpretativa e fenomenológica com a situação de violência de gênero, vivida por tantas mulheres no atual contexto. Pretende, assim, desenvolver esta reflexão a partir de três caminhos. Inicialmente, abordar-se-á o tema da concepção de violência e de gênero; posteriormente, será tratado o texto de Juízes 19: uma análise interpretativa a respeito da violência contra a mulher e, enfim, a questão da violência e da dignidade da mulher, por meio das dimensões jurídica e filosófica. Deste modo, a reflexão tem como escopo uma análise interdisciplinar envolvendo a religião, o poder, a violência e o gênero no âmbito da perspectiva bíblica e ética. Sabe-se que é necessário o diálogo entre os vários campos do saber para que a sociedade possa melhor se compreender e aprimorar a defesa dos direitos humanos e principalmente a de gênero e das mulheres.
"L’Hombre Cordial, Producto Americano" de Ruy Ribeiro Couto na mediação tradutória de Alfonso Reyes
Authors: Bagno Sandra
Published: May 2020

Um dos arquétipos politológicos mais significativos da história latino-americana, o homem cordial teorizado por Sérgio Buarque de Holanda em Raízes do Brasil (1936), e durante décadas considerado politicamente incorreto em seu próprio país, chegou à Itália graças à tradução de Cesare Rivelli publicada pelos Irmãos Bocca em 1954. Mas haveria, pelo contrário, no contexto italiano, uns poucos sinais de interesse no outro homem cordial, aquele teorizado alguns anos antes num pequeno artigo escrito pelo brasileiro Ruy Ribeiro Couto, veiculado internacionalmente por Alfonso Reyes com o título espanhol El Hombre Cordial, produto americano. Questionar as razões que poderiam ter deixado na sombra o homem cordial ribeiriano permite compreender por quais razões o debate latino-americano da década de 30 continua ainda hoje muito atual. E como o arquétipo buarquiano do homem cordial continua a ser uma das chaves interpretativas fundamentais também a nível internacional, com todas as suas implicações sociais e geopolíticas.

Lying at the southernmost point of the Lucayan Archipelago, the Turks and Caicos Islands are amongst the better studied localities for anchialine cave biodiversity. For nearly five decades, novel invertebrate fauna, comprised primarily of crustaceans, have been collected from these tidally influenced pools – but new findings are always on the horizon. Herein we present new records of crustaceans and annelids from anchialine blue holes and horizontal caves of the Turks and Caicos. These findings include two potentially new species of meiofaunal annelids and a new species of remipede collected from a shallow water cave pool. Our 2019 expedition additionally expands known faunal distributions for several taxa across the Caicos islands, and raises the biodiversity of the region to 35 species, 13 of them considered endemic. This is the first comprehensive faunal list for the anchialine systems in the Caicos Bank.
Future direction of immunosuppressive treatment in organ transplantation
Authors: Park Jae Berm
Published: May 2020

Since the first success of kidney transplantation in 1954, significant advances have been achieved in the field of organ transplantation. It was possible with the introduction of immunosuppressive drugs belonging to the class of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus, the advances in surgical techniques and perioperative management, the monitoring and management infections, and the highly sensitive and specific antibody detection techniques. Despite recent progress, we currently encounter the limitation of better long-term transplant outcomes mainly because of paradoxical CNI toxicity and failure to control antibody or antibody-mediated rejections. The future direction of immunosuppression can be continued by optimizing immunosuppressive regimens with currently available immunosuppressants for better control of antibodies while avoiding CNI toxicity and by using biological therapeutics such as costimulation blockade agents that provide effective control of antibodies along with a reduction in usage or avoidance of CNIs and may develop as new immunosuppressants in the near future. Moreover, a tolerance induction through transplantation of donor hematopoietic stem cells or an infusion of regulatory cells using various sources of immune cells can also be a promising strategy as it can fundamentally escape from the complications of immunosuppressants. Over and above, it is important to note that the results of clinically applicable immunosuppressants from research in the non-human primate xenotransplantation model at the forefront of the future development of immunosuppressants can be a good opportunity to selectively apply to allo-transplants. No immunosuppressants can be risk-free, and therefore, all new immunosuppressants should be evaluated under the considerations for the risk/benefit ratio in various clinical conditions.
Pharmacological therapeutics in androgenetic alopecia
Authors: Kim Doyoung , Park Sujin
Published: May 2020

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss and affects both men and women. Male pattern hair loss shows characteristic frontal recession and vertex baldness, whereas female pattern hair loss produces diffuse alopecia over the mid-frontal scalp. AGA is mediated by increased androgen susceptibility in affected scalp hairs. 5α-Reductase converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, a potent androgen, in the scalp. Both androgen receptors and 5α-reductase have higher expression levels in the balding scalp than in non-affected regions. Increased androgen susceptibility induces hair follicle miniaturization, which leads to the progressive loss of thicker terminal hairs in the balding scalp. Currently, topical minoxidil and oral 5α-reductase inhibitors, such as finasteride and dutasteride, are approved options for the pharmacological treatment of AGA. Topical minoxidil remains the mainstay of therapy for mild to moderate AGA in both men and women. The daily intake of 1-mg finasteride or 0.5-mg dutasteride shows better efficacy than topical minoxidil in regard to hair regrowth in male AGA. Anti-androgens can be used in female AGA wit clinical and biochemical evidence of hyperandrogenism. Patients may be overwhelmed and confused by the variety of treatment options for AGA management, including over-the-count drugs with low evidence quality. Therefore, physicians must be aware of the current guidelines for the management of AGA based on evidence-based approaches to select better options for patients.
Hygroscopic properties and cloud condensation nuclei activity of atmospheric aerosols under the influences of Asian continental outflow and new particle formation at a coastal site in eastern Asia
Authors: Cheung Hing Cho , Chou Charles Chung-Kuang , Lee Celine Siu Lan , Kuo Wei-Chen , Chang Shuenn-Chin
Published: May 2020

Abstract. The chemical composition of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), the size
distribution and number concentration of aerosol particles (NCN), and
the number concentration of cloud condensation nuclei (NCCN) were
measured at the northern tip of Taiwan during an intensive
observation experiment from April 2017 to March 2018. The parameters of
aerosol hygroscopicity (i.e., activation ratio, activation diameter and kappa
of CCN) were retrieved from the measurements. Significant variations were
found in the hygroscopicity of aerosols (kappa – κ – of 0.18–0.56, for water vapor supersaturation – SS – of 0.12 %–0.80 %), which were subject to various pollution sources, including aged
air pollutants originating in eastern and northern China and transported by
the Asian continental outflows and fresh particles emitted from local sources
and distributed by land–sea breeze circulations as well as produced by processes of new
particle formation (NPF). Cluster analysis was applied to the
back trajectories of air masses to investigate their respective source
regions. The results showed that aerosols associated with Asian continental
outflows were characterized by lower NCN and NCCN values and by
higher kappa values of CCN, whereas higher NCN and NCCN values with lower kappa values
of CCN were observed in the aerosols associated with local air masses.
Besides, it was revealed that the kappa value of CCN exhibited a decrease during
the early stage of an event of new particle formation, which turned to an
increasing trend over the later period. The distinct features in the
hygroscopicity of aerosols were found to be consistent with the
characteristics in the chemical composition of PM2.5. This study has
depicted a clear seasonal characteristic of hygroscopicity and CCN activity
under the influence of a complex mixture of pollutants from different
regional and/or local pollution sources. Nevertheless, the mixing state and
chemical composition of the aerosols critically influence the aerosol
hygroscopicity, and further investigations are necessary to elucidate the
atmospheric processing involved in the CCN activation in coastal areas.
Construct and evaluate the classification models of six types of geological hazards in Bijie city, Guizhou province, China
Authors: Shi JieQing , Zhang Jin , Shen ChaoYong
Published: May 2020

Abstract. Debris flow, landslide, ground collapse, collapse and ground collapse are the dominating geological hazards in Bijie city, Guizhou province, which is situated in the area with high natural hazards in China. The primary purpose of this study is to construct different classification models by using the disaster conditioning factors of geological hazards and to evaluate the performance of the models in the classification of geological hazards in Bijie city. At the same time, the nonlinear relationship between various geological hazards and conditioning factors will be discussed. Firstly, the manual field survey data of Bijie city in 2019 were applied to construct and draw inventory map of six geological hazards. Then 16 conditioning factors were established from various data sources. According to the ratio of 70:30, the geological hazard location points were randomly divided into the training and validation set to complete the training and verification process of the classification models. In order to select the optimal subset of the conditioning factors, the multicollinearity of these factors was assessed using tolerances and variance inflation factors(VIF) and Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and factors with multicollinearity were excluded to optimize the model. Subsequently, ten classification models were structured, and the models were verified and compared by using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC), precision, sensitivity, Kappa coefficient and F1 values.In addition, the Friedman test was used to identify statistically significant differences between the results of the classification model used in this research. In general, average Area Under Curve (AUC) values under the ROC curves of the 10 classification models is above 0.8, indicating that all models have a corresponding high prediction ability. Among them, the average AUC value(0.941), AUC values for individual geological hazards (collapse: 0.949, ground crack: 0.907, ground collapse: 0.952, landslide: 0.830, displacement flow: 0.963, slope: 0.922), Kappa coefficient (0.845), Macro F1(0.851) and Micro F1(0.878) of SVM all had the highest values.
Participación de las Mujeres Indígenas en la Construcción de Políticas Públicas en el marco de la implementación de los Acuerdos de Paz en Colombia
Authors: Anacona Muñoz Adriana
Published: May 2020

Este texto quiere dar cuenta de la forma cómo en Colombia las mujeres indígenas vienen contribuyendo a la construcción de la paz y los retos que se tienen frente a la implementación de los Acuerdos de Paz establecidos entre la Guerrilla de las FARC y el Gobierno colombiano. Se busca problematizar tres asuntos que resultan de profunda preocupación: i) la forma cómo han sido consideradas, valoradas y reconocidas las demandas del movimiento indígena colombiano; ii) el desconocimiento de los retos en la participación de las mujeres indígenas y iii) el poco diálogo teórico entre las perspectivas de paz y el campo de las políticas públicas. La reflexión que aquí se expone es resultado del trabajo de investigación de tesis doctoral desarrollo a partir de la participación activa y el diálogo plural que recupera el lugar de la enunciación de mujeres indígenas yanaconas que en contexto de ciudad han liderado procesos de toma de decisión en el campo de las políticas públicas.
Textiles Andinos: trabajo y labores que resisten
Authors: Sulca Olga Liliana
Published: May 2020

En la actualidad, los tejidos andinos nos siguen permitiendo adentrar al mundo simbólico de sus tejedores y con ello, a su producción. Podemos afirmar que la actividad textil es un trabajo cuya producción es duradera, aún cuando las prendas se desgasten, existen conocimientos y saberes transmitidos de una generación a otra que siguen permaneciendo. En la actualidad, la actividad textil es considerada poco productiva y de escasa valoración. Sus hacedores (tejedores/tejedoras) saben que su producción es única e irrepetible, de ahí su valoración intrínseca, además que, aunque sea vendida a muy bajo costo, su ganancia le permitirá subsistir. El problema radica en los consumidores, quienes desconocen o bien no quieren conocer el valor que implica esta actividad. Este texto intentará reflexionar sobre la complejidad que encierra el concepto de labor y trabajo en H. Arendt, vinculado a la labor textil. Y, por otro, analizar su resistencia, aún, cuando el proceso textil sufrió modificaciones a lo largo de un proceso histórico, donde cambiaron las materias primas, el proceso de tinción, la iconografía plasmada en los tejidos, los instrumentos textiles y las funciones, lo que permaneció inmune fueron sus técnicas.

Performatividad y género en el discurso periodístico del diario La Prensa en el gobierno de Violeta Barrios, 1990-1997
Authors: Flores Martínez Jonathan José
Published: May 2020

La década de los años noventa destaca en la historia sociopolítica de Nicaragua como una época de relevantes procesos políticos, remarca una coyuntura histórica que sentó las bases de un discurso periodístico de fuerte carácter político y polarizador que resalta de manera enfática en el que la dicotomía de paz/guerra se asociaba a la dualidad mujer/hombre, como elementos antagónicos y expresión de las propias relaciones de género y estereotipos vigentes en la sociedad nicaragüense. En este sentido, el presente artículo retoma el discurso periodístico del diario La Prensa alrededor de la noticia política del periodo presidencial de Violeta Barrios (1990-1997) desde el análisis de contenido y del discurso, utilizando el modelo semiótico informacional como base teórica. Del mismo modo se estudiaron las categorías que estructuraron el discurso periodístico en torno a la construcción de la imagen de lo que fue la primer mujer presidente de Nicaragua.
Challenges Experienced by Students Studying through Open and Distance Learning at a Higher Education Institution in Namibia: Implications for Strategic Planning
Authors: Iilonga Amalia , Iilonga Amalia , Ashipala Daniel Opotamutale , Tomas Nestor
Published: May 2020

Online learning remains one of the most powerful enablers and accelerators for realising higher education studies by enhancing teaching by means of innovative technologies and pedagogies. However, the success rate of students studying through Open and Distance Learning (ODL) remains very low. Therefore, institutions of higher learning in Namibia should continuously establish and assess the challenges affecting the students who opt to study via distance mode to devise strategies required to address such challenges. The objective of this study was to understand the challenges experienced by students studying through ODL at Higher Education Institution (HEI) in Namibia and establish the challenges they face. A qualitative, phenomenological, explorative, descriptive and contextual research strategy was employed in this study to explore and describe challenges experienced by students’ studying through ODL at HEI’ satellite campus in Namibia. A purposive sampling was utilised in the selection of participants. Data were collected from participants using semi-structured interviews with nine participants. Three themes were identified, namely, the reasons why students chose to study through ODL programme, challenges experienced by students studying through ODL and mechanisms for improvement. The findings of this study call for well-articulated plans and actions to address the challenges faced by students studying in the distance e-learning mode. The study recommended that both Lecturers and ODL programme Administrators should undergo refresher training on distance education annually to ensure that they are aware and can address the challenges faced by their students.
A Pragmatic Study of Image Restoration via Corporate Apology in Chinese Internet Corporations
Authors: Xu Zhanghong , Yan Alan
Published: May 2020

With the booming of Chinese internet corporations, various wrongdoings have been frequently exposed to the public, which damages their corporate image. To face the challenge, these companies usually resort to apologies for image restoration. This study investigates how apology strategies are employed by Chinese internet corporations to restore image in the event of wrongdoings. Based on a self-built corpus and by means of textual analysis, we identified different apology strategies characterized by various linguistic features. The results show that “Illocutionary Force Indicating Devices (IFIDs)” and “damage repair” are two of the most frequently used move types which are normally marked by such key linguistic features as personal pronouns, modal verbs, performative verbs and intensifiers. It is also found that IFIDs, “giving account” and “admitting mistakes”, “offering repair” and “inviting further interaction” are often incorporated together to show the company’s sincere apologetic stance which contributes to the ultimate goal --- rebuilding corporate image and regaining the public’s trust. However, direct expressions of “asking for forgiveness” are seldom found in apologies crafted by Chinese internet corporations. This study on apologies in the domain of internet corporations is believed to shed light on research on corporate apology in particular and corporate image restoration in general.
Social Aspects of Drug Addiction in Sri Lanka
Authors: Mahir Isma Lebbe Mohamed , Wazeema Thaseem Mohamed Fathima
Published: May 2020

Social problems are rapidly increasing in modern societies due to various reasons. One of these is drug addiction, which has become a major issue in the contemporary world, as it is proving to be a serious social problem in both developing and underdeveloped countries. This review article that focuses on the social aspects of drug addiction in Sri Lanka is based on secondary data obtained from the published works of different authors; they provide details about the identity of drugs, drug addiction and the increasing number of addicts in Sri Lanka. Drug addiction has become an important issue due to its severe impact on public health, its tendency to encourage crime, cause diseases, poverty and destruction of family life in Sri Lanka. Heroin and cannabis (marijuana) are found to be the most commonly used drugs in Sri Lanka. Laws and policies designed to control drug abuse and regulations on drug addicts have not brought any major change or desired outcome in the Sri Lankan drug scene. Drug users in Sri Lanka get their supply of drugs from the underground drug market, which has its internal and external sources. Rehabilitation of drug addicts has become an urgent need in the country to protect its valuable citizens who are needed to build a sustainable nation that is free from drugs. Drug addiction is preventable and can be managed successfully if every citizen of the country gives his/ her full support and contribution.
Professional Ethics and the Recovery of Virtue
Authors: Kincaid Elisabeth Rain ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: May 2020

In my paper I argue that developments within legal ethics—specifically a return to emphasizing the importance of precepts for governing communities capable of forming virtue and for protecting the vulnerable—can contribute to discussions in theological ethics regarding the rule of precepts for the church’s formation of its members in virtue. This concern is especially timely given the recent sex abuse scandals in Protestant and Catholic churches, which have raised wide-spread concerns about the capacity of churches to form character and protect the vulnerable. I consider how this understanding of the relationship between the role of precepts and the community, drawn from legal professional ethics, has important analogical similarities to Aquinas’s description of the virtue of religion. I then consider how Francisco Suárez, SJ, develops Aquinas’s theory to explain how rules are developed within the community, not simply imposed from above, and serve to protect the vulnerable.
Rethinking Micro-level Exploitation
Authors: Gray Derrick ,   Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
Published: May 2020

This paper argues that, at least in the context of employment, we should reconsider the applicability of the dominant framework in the contemporary literature on exploitation, which views exploitation as a micro-level moral wrong. I present a novel argument showing that these micro-level theories share commitments inconsistent with taking exploitation seriously as a moral wrong. Given the difficulties these theories face, I argue that we should pursue a structural theory of exploitation, and I give a brief sketch of what such a theory might look like.
Mujeres Creando. El cuidado como maniobra ecológica de re-existencia.
Authors: Romero Caballero Belén
Published: May 2020

El presente artículo toma cuerpo en el contexto socioambiental actual producido por el modelo civilizatorio hegemónico neoliberal, cuyo renovado extractivismo persevera en el despojo y la mercantilización de la vida humana y no humana, sometiendo las relaciones sociales, económicas, ecológicas y políticas a la lógica del capitalismo más voraz. En el reparto de las reestructuraciones neoliberales, las tareas de cuidado de las mujeres en todo el planeta han sido imprescindibles, puesto que, constituyen una de las dimensiones fundamentales de la sostenibilidad de la vida, es decir, de la reproducción social y ecosistémica.

A pesar de ello, estas tareas han sido ignoradas y excluidas por el propio sistema patriarcal, colonial y capitalista mediante la invisibilización tanto de los sujetos que las realizan como de la interrelación e interdependencia ecológicas que caracterizan nuestra relación con el mundo. Desde este diagnóstico, el colectivo boliviano Mujeres Creando maniobra una visualidad descolonial, que proviene de una memoria ancestral siempre reactualizada, por medio de diferentes prácticas artísticas y culturales que reponen el cuidado en el centro.

Tanto para enfrentarse al sistemaneoextractivista que se presenta como la panacea del desarrollo y la modernización en los países del Sur como para la reivindicación y consecución de una serie de derechos humanos y de ciudadanía.

This paper takes shape in the current socio-environmental context produced by the neoliberal hegemonic civilizational model, whose renewed extractivism perseveres in the dispossession and commodification of human and non-human life, subjecting social, economic, ecological and political relations to the logic of the more voracious capitalism. In the distribution of neoliberal restructuring, the tasks of caring for women throughout the planet have been essential, since they constitute one of the fundamental dimensions of the sustainability of life, that is, of social and ecosystemic reproduction.

In spite of this, these tasks have been ignored and excluded by the patriarchal, colonial and capitalist system through the invisibility of both the subjects that carry them out, and the ecological interrelationship and interdependence that characterize our relationship with the world. From this diagnosis, the Bolivian collective Mujeres Creando maneuvers a decolonial visuality, that comes from an always updated ancestral memory, through different artistic and cultural practices that restore care in the center.

Both to face the neo-extractive system that is presented as the panacea of development and modernization in the countries of the South, and for the claim and achievement of a series ofhuman rights and citizenship.
Recomendaciones para la implementación de medidas de conciliación en el sector comercial detallista español

Published: May 2020

Los recursos humanos de una empresa constituyen una de sus principales ventajas competitivas. Valorar la importancia de este recurso y trabajar intensivamente para retener este talento constituirá uno de los principales retos de futuro de las empresas. El estudio de uno de los sectores más relevantes de la economía española, el sector comercial detallista, permite analizar la importancia de la gestión del capital humano a través de la motivación. En este punto, el concepto de conciliación personal, familiar y laboral toma relevancia como herramienta de gestión de personas y de retención de talento. Para facilitar la aplicación de medidas de conciliación se necesita: igualdad de género, paridad y corresponsabilidad. Los beneficios tanto para trabajadores como para empresas son múltiples, entre ellos el mínimo o nulo coste que supone la implantación de este tipo de medidas. Especialmente las nuevas tecnologías favorecen una conciliación real. Aportar conocimiento y dar difusión al concepto de conciliación personal, familiar y laboral, analizando su aplicabilidad en uno de los sectores más relevantes de la economía española, es el objetivo de este estudio.

Heterogeneous T cell motility behaviors emerge from a coupling between speed and turning in vivo
Authors: Jerison Elizabeth R , Quake Stephen R
Published: May 2020

T cells in vivo migrate primarily via undirected random walks, but it remains unresolved how these random walks generate an efficient search. Here, we use light sheet microscopy of T cells in the larval zebrafish as a model system to study motility across large populations of cells over hours in their native context. We show that cells do not perform Levy flight; rather, there is substantial cell-to-cell variability in speed, which persists over timespans of a few hours. This variability is amplified by a correlation between speed and directional persistence, generating a characteristic cell behavioral manifold that is preserved under a perturbation to cell speeds, and seen in Mouse T cells and Dictyostelium. Together, these effects generate a broad range of length scales over which cells explore in vivo.
Predictable properties of fitness landscapes induced by adaptational tradeoffs
Authors: Das Suman G , Direito Susana OL , Waclaw Bartlomiej , Allen Rosalind J , Krug Joachim
Published: May 2020

Fitness effects of mutations depend on environmental parameters. For example, mutations that increase fitness of bacteria at high antibiotic concentration often decrease fitness in the absence of antibiotic, exemplifying a tradeoff between adaptation to environmental extremes. We develop a mathematical model for fitness landscapes generated by such tradeoffs, based on experiments that determine the antibiotic dose-response curves of Escherichia coli strains, and previous observations on antibiotic resistance mutations. Our model generates a succession of landscapes with predictable properties as antibiotic concentration is varied. The landscape is nearly smooth at low and high concentrations, but the tradeoff induces a high ruggedness at intermediate antibiotic concentrations. Despite this high ruggedness, however, all the fitness maxima in the landscapes are evolutionarily accessible from the wild type. This implies that selection for antibiotic resistance in multiple mutational steps is relatively facile despite the complexity of the underlying landscape.
Validity and Reliability of the School’s Emotional Climate Scale
Authors: Öztürk Efraim , Boydak Özan Mukadder
Published: May 2020

The aim of this study is to develop and validate the School’s Emotional Climate scale. To this end, 683 teachers working in elementary and middle schools were recruited. An item pool with 39 items was created based on an extensive literature review and expert opinions. The items were reviewed by experts and seven items were dropped out from the item pool. EFA was conducted with 32 items. Based on the results of EFA, thirteen items were removed, which left 19 items with three factors. In order to test this structure, CFA was conducted. According to the CFA results, the scale was found to be reliable, which is also proved through Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient values. The final form of the scale consisted of 19 items with three factors entitles as emotional association, empathy, and emotional fatigue. The limitations and suggestions for future research is discussed.
Exploring the Theme of Cultural Identity in the Poem “Song of Lawino”: The Use of Halliday’s Transitivity in Revealing Ideologies
Authors: Larbaoui Meissa
Published: May 2020

The individual’s identity is crucial in his/her life in countless fields, especially the social, political, and economic ones. It is constructed by different cultural elements: ethnicity, history, traditions, language, religion, literature, etc. In the colonial period, the elites tried to erase the cultural identity of the colonized nations and forced the assimilation of their own culture. This image was highly seen in Africa during colonialism. Consequently, in postcolonialism; different Africans were not aware of their real identity and chose to westernize their culture. Literature was one of the ways that myriad African writers used to revive the real cultural identity of black Africans. Okot p’Bitek wrote a song that tackled the differences between the culture of the Africans and that of the Western people. It was about a conflict between a married couple who divorced because the man was deeply affected by Western culture. This paper attempts to analyze the poem by using the linguistic framework of transitivity with a qualitative research method. Halliday introduced the framework in the theory of Systemic Functional Grammar. It is generally used as a strategy in the stylistic approach since it deals with the analysis of the lexical and grammatical structures to interpret the implicit meaning of discourse. The findings revealed that the African and Western people were different in several cultural elements: beauty care, religion, education, politics, dancing, and time value. In other words, the verbs, adjectives, and other linguistic choices that were extracted from the different process types of the transitivity system had distinct and contrasting functions. Thus, the results showed that transitivity facilitated the detection of the linguistic elements used by the writer to describe the cultural identity of the African and Western nations, which helped in getting through the writer’s inner thoughts, feelings, and ideologies. In the end, it was suggested to implement transitivity in the teaching of literature as a strategy to trigger students’ critical thinking and demystify the analysis of literary discourse.
EFL Teachers’ Writing Assessment Literacy, Beliefs, and Training Needs in the Context of Turkey
Authors: Valizadeh Mohammadreza
Published: May 2020

Teachers’ assessment literacy and beliefs contribute to encouraging or undermining students’ learning; therefore, investigating such literacy to fulfill the teachers’ training needs is essential. This quantitative survey study investigated the current level of 152 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ writing assessment literacy (WAL) in Turkey and identified their training needs in this area by means of a questionnaire. Further, this research explored the teachers’ beliefs about different writing assessment methods, general assessment issues in writing classrooms and then scoring accuracy in writing assessment. Although 80.9% of the teachers stated that they had already received prior training in WAL, a vast majority of the participants (over 90%) stated they need to receive training in all the investigated WAL areas. The training need areas which stood on the highest six ranks included “Using pre-designed integrated writing tasks”, “Designing integrated writing tasks”, “Giving feedback to students based on information from tests/assessment”, “Designing good writing tasks/tests”, “Using the scoring rubrics”, “Designing the scoring rubrics”, “Using self-assessment”, “Using peer-assessment”, and “Using assessment portfolio”. The detailed findings regarding the teachers’ beliefs in the above-mentioned issues are explained and discussed in the paper. To improve the situation, the shortcomings in the language teacher education programs in Turkey should be addressed.
