EFL Student-Teachers’ Perception Toward Teaching English Vocabulary Through Poetry
Authors: Suwastini Ni Komang Arie , Rahmayanti Putu
Published: March 2024

Poetry has been reported to promote language awareness and authentic learning sources. As poems are composed in carefully arranged words to form rhyming sounds with beautiful rhythm, the present study aimed to reveal EFL students' perceptions of using poetry to teach English vocabulary. Conducted qualitatively, the present observed eighty-seven short essays on using English poems for improving students' vocabulary written by student-teachers from an English Language Education Department in Bali. It was revealed that the student-teachers perceived poetry to help improve students' acquisition of word form, use, and meaning. Forty-four students wrote poems that could improve students' understanding of English word forms: twenty-three students argued that poetry could improve students' pronunciation. Twenty-one participants believed poems could improve students' spelling. In terms of word meaning, a total of thirty vouched for the use of poetry for introducing figurative languages (twenty-three students), enhancing students' acquisition of colloquial vocabulary (eleven students), and familiarizing students with unfamiliar words (eleven participants). A total of nine students insisted that poems could be used to improve students' word use, whereas six students believed poems could display grammatical functions. At the same time, three participants recognize the use of poems for acquainting students with collocations. These results imply that future EFL teachers recognize the potential of bringing English poetry as a medium for improving their EFL students'' vocabulary, hinting at the need for further research on the systematic procedure of how to implement poetry into EFL classrooms.

Published: March 2024

INTRODUCTION: The using of lipid emulsion in TPN for preterm infants can affect clinical outcomes.
Objective: to assess the health outcomes and potential adverse effects stemming from the exclusion of SMOFlipid emulsion in TPN, specifically focusing on the incidence of neonatal sepsis, length of stay (LOS) in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and the associated economic implications from the perspective of healthcare providers in Egypt.
METHODS: A record-based retrospective cohort study was conducted in 2021. We collected data from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Alexandria University Pediatric Hospital, Egypt, who received TPN. The collected data included gestational age, birth weight, sex, diagnosis of sepsis, LOS in the NICU and type of TPN. Our sample comprised 103 newborns who received TPN with SMOFlipid and 104 newborns who received TPN without SMOFlipid. Balance of baseline characteristics of the study groups was achieved using propensity score. Odds ratios were estimated using logistic regression, and the statistical significance was set at < 0.05.
RESULTS: Compared with TPN without lipids, the use of SMOFlipid was associated with an observed reduction in the risk of sepsis (OR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.22 - 1.03) and difference in the mean reduction in hospital stay (4.12 days, p = 0.08). Moreover, using SMOFlipid was associated with a significant mean reduction in cost by 6,396 EGP (95% CI: 1,491 - 11,546 EGP).
CONCLUSION: The integration of SMOFlipid into TPN for preterm infants is associated with decreased incidence of sepsis, reduced NICU stay, and significant cost savings, warranting consideration for standard care practices.

Published: March 2024

Kinder und Eltern erleben es oftmals als Herausforderung, digitales Lernen in den häuslichen Alltag zu integrieren. Vielfach sind die Verantwortlichkeiten für die Unterstützung des kindlichen Erwerbs von computer- und informationsbezogenen Kompetenzen zwischen Eltern und Schule unklar. Zudem nehmen Eltern ihre Verantwortung für die Unterstützung der Kinder bei der Ausbildung schulisch relevanter Digitalkompetenzen sehr unterschiedlich wahr. Anknüpfend an Überlegungen zu pädagogischen Alltagstheorien ist zu klären, welche Annahmen und Überzeugungen Eltern aufgrund ihres bisherigen Erfahrungswissens entwickeln, weil diese sich oft unbewusst auf die Priorisierung ihres pädagogischen Handelns in der häuslichen Lernumwelt auswirken und die Unterstützung der kindlichen Entwicklung von computer- und informationsbezogenen Kompetenzen prägen können. Anhand von sechs qualitativen Interviews mit Eltern zeigt sich, dass schulische und ausserschulische Alltagsanforderungen, situative Faktoren der häuslichen Lernumgebung, Ansprüche der Eltern an das Arbeitsverhalten des Kindes sowie das bewusste Ausprobierenlassen des Kindes im Internet die elterliche Unterstützung beim digitalen Lernen der Kinder beeinflussen.
1D manipulator with vibration impact drive, based on which it is possible to create orthogonal manipulators and robots of any dimension
Authors: Ragulskis K. , Ragulskis L.
Published: March 2024

Manipulator of the investigated type may move according to a straight line. It has an advantage in the fact that by choosing geometrical parameters of the manipulator it is possible to achieve its effective operation. This is presented by using analytical and graphical methods. The performed research shows that manipulators with vibration impact drives have some positive qualities. In their structure it is not necessary to include the self-stopping mechanism. In the conservative case of the system static position of equilibrium of the impact pair can be with negative, zero or positive tightening. In the case of zero tightening eigenfrequency and period of the system does not depend on the quantity of motion of impact excitation. In the case of harmonic forced excitation resonant motions take place in the vicinity of the eigenfrequency of the conservative system with zero tightening. Analytical – numerical calculations contribute to the creation of manipulators and robots with vibration impact drives.

Authors: Grigoriev A. S. , Makolkin D. V. , Tutnov I. A.
Published: March 2024

Aim. The paper aims to create and verify methods for predicting the dependability of autonomous power supply to local low-power consumers. Methods. The work uses simulation tools, i.e., computational experiment for predicting the dependability and safe service life of autonomous cluster distributed energy networks that include various power generation installations, power transmission lines and an automated self-regulation system for the purpose of diversifying the risks of failure. Results. Using methods of probabilistic analysis of technical system safety, the dependability of power supply is predicted in terms of possible energy network failures and threats to the life of consumers. The problem can be solved by simulating and predicting the moment of failure of a power network, i.e., critical violation of design conditions, accident, etc. This scenario allows – for long periods of operation – simulating failure situations due to degradation and destruction of elements, units, power lines, as well as failures under multidimensional uncertainty of prediction of dependability and quality of power supply. The key output of simulation is a set of recommendations to ensure energy security. The paper presents simulated dependability indicators, analysis of the effect of structural design solutions underlying a distributed energy network on the dependability and energy security. Conclusion. The use of computational experiments and results of power supply dependability simulation as part of predicting probabilistic indicators of failures of equipment and elements of cluster energy networks, identifying their consequences for the energy security of sparsely populated and remote locations lays the foundation for quality management of energy networks. Additionally, in the future, additional causes and initial events may be included in the model for the purpose of studying the facts of failures. For instance, such causes as uneven generation using renewable sources, finite fuel supply for conventional generation sources, reliability of the power grid personnel. The proposed approach allows verifying promising new energy network design solutions, for example, including energy storage systems into a distributed energy network that – at various points in time – may be either “generators” or “consumers”. Simulation of local energy networks is of practical interest and is important for improving their consumer quality, resistance to hazardous environmental effects.
Estimating the optimal duration of random loading as part of machine part durability research
Authors: Gadolina I. V.
Published: March 2024

Aim. Making an informed decision regarding the durability of machine parts requires information on the operational load that needs to be measured on a representative section of the track. It should not be too long as well. Thus, it is required to determine the optimal duration of implementation. The duration of implementation that is optimal in terms of the reliability of load registration is defined for a process that is stationary in a special sense. Stationarity in a special sense is defined specifically for the task of assessing the durability of a specific part. Methods. The use of spectral theory for the study of random processes is probably not the best way of examining non-stationary loading processes in the context of durability assessment. We believe it would be optimal to use a cycle counting procedure (rain flow method) with subsequent calculation of durability. A lemma and a theorem were formulated on the sufficient duration of implementation for a process that is stationary in a special sense. A sufficient duration of implementation is defined as a limit past which its increase will not lead to a noticeable change in the calculated durability. Results. The matters of stationarity of a process in a narrow sense and the required duration of implementation will help in planning operational tests to measure and record random processes of machine part loading. Both matters were examined in terms of fatigue damage accumulation using Miner linear damage rule, as well as the adjusted linear damage summation hypothesis taking into account the fatigue curve slope parameter m. Some practical engineering problems were examined, including the problem of the optimal duration of implementation of a mining machine whose loading process is characterized by a high degree of irregularity and the problem of finding the required duration of implementation of load recording in a rolling stock component. Conclusion. A theorem on the required and sufficient duration of implementation was formulated. In order to test the method, Markov transition matrix-based model processes were used. In addition, the method and theorem were tested using examples of some experimental processes obtained from operational tests of vehicles and production machines.

Published: March 2024

Aim. The paper aims to compare the results of vibration diagnostics at different wheel pair (WP) rotation speeds based on the peak signal values and noise from the front bearing of the WP axle box equipped with a SOP AK 32.01 cylindrical roller with a standard defect. Methods. The peak vibration signal values were analysed using WP with different wheel tread thicknesses, i.e., 25, 45, and 65 mm. The bearing of one of the axle boxes (front) was equipped which a defective SOP AK 32.01 roller. Results. In the course of the experiment, it was found that as the thickness of the wheel tread grows the probability of over-rejection increases, which is practically confirmed by the fitness of the parts and components of the axle box upon dismantling and careful inspection. Conclusion. The “Reject” conclusion issued by the UDP-2001SM vibration stand should directly depend on the WP rotation speed. Additionally, its rotation rate should be selected depending on the thickness of the wheel tread.

Published: March 2024

This study evaluated the influence of personality factors and traits on the sense of self-efficacy in the combination of roles (work and supervision of children's school activities) in the context of COVID-19 in a representative sample of Ecuadorian adults of both sexes (n=400). Personality traits were assessed using Cattell's 16-PF personality test, and self-efficacy was measured using an adaptation of the Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. The results show that the five main personality factors of the 16-PF significantly predict self-efficacy and influence its variability by 12.7%. The factors Anxiety, Independence, and Toughness are the strongest predictors of self-efficacy. It was also found that the 16 personality traits assessed by the 16-PF questionnaire can predict 16.9% of self-efficacy. The most predictive traits were Stability, Openness to Change, Dominance, Privacy, and liveliness. These results suggest that individual personality differences allow individuals to better adapt to the various demands in a complicated environment such as COVID-19. These findings can be used to understand and support individuals when faced with complex environmental demands.
Using Games to Simulate Medication Adherence and Nonadherence: Laboratory Experiment in Gamified Behavioral Simulation
Authors: Taj Umar , Grimani Aikaterini , Read Daniel , Vlaev Ivo
Published: March 2024

Background

Medical nonadherence is a significant problem associated with worse clinical outcomes, higher downstream rehospitalization rates, and a higher use of resources. To improve medication adherence, it is vital for researchers and practitioners to have a solid theoretical understanding of what interventions are likely to work. To achieve this understanding, we propose that researchers should focus on creating small-scale laboratory analogs to the larger real-world setting and determine what interventions, such as nudges or incentives, work to change behavior in the laboratory. To do this, we took inspiration from the literature on serious games and gamification and experimental economics. We call our approach “gamified behavioral simulation.” In this paper, we modeled everyday life as the state of being engaged in a simple but addictive game, illness as being interruptions to the functionality of that game, treatment as being a series of actions that can be taken to prevent or mitigate those interruptions, and adherence as sticking to a prescribed rule for the application of those actions.

Objective

This study carries out a behavioral diagnosis of the medication adherence problem through a theoretically informed framework and then develops the gamified behavioral modeling approach to simulate medication nonadherence.

Methods

A laboratory experiment was conducted using a modified popular and addictive open-source video game called “2048,” which created an abstract model for the medication adherence behavior observed in real life. In total, 509 participants were assigned to the control and 4 intervention groups (“incentive” group, “reminder” group, “commitment device” group, and “elongated duration for symptoms” group).

Results

The results of the modeling experiment showed that having theoretically informed interventions can increase the likelihood for them to be successful. In particular, there is evidence that the use of reminders improves the medication adherence rates for patients, and the same result was found in the modeling experiment, as they improved adherence significantly by 23% (95% CI −33.97% to −11.72%; P<.001). However, providing an incentive did not improve the adherence rate. We also tested the use of commitment devices, which, in line with real-world evidence, did not improve adherence rates. The fourth treatment tested elongated duration for symptoms, which attempted to show the power of modeling experiments where we test a what-if scenario that is extremely difficult to test in a real setting. The results indicated that if symptoms last longer, people did not adhere more to their medication regimen.

Conclusions

Gamified behavioral simulation is a useful tool to explain real health behaviors and help in identifying which interventions are most likely to work in a randomized trial.

Authors: Alhaj Shaikha Salah , Qaderi Fatma Abdulghaffar , Ibrahim Tarek , Almohammad Maha
Published: March 2024

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare primary neuroendocrine skin tumor that presents as a flesh-colored or bluish-red nodule on the face, neck, or head. Long-term ultraviolet radiation exposure and Merkel cell polyomavirus are associated with MCC pathogenesis. We present a case of MCC on the right cheek in a male patient aged 87 years. Our primary goal in presenting the case is to bring MCC, which is a diagnostic challenge, to the notice of dermatologists and oncologists, as early detection and prompt treatment are important. The patient had a significant past medical history, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, stage 3 chronic kidney disease, benign prostatic hyperplasia, chronic hyponatremia, acute pancreatitis, essential thrombocytosis on hydroxyurea, and ischemic heart disease. The patient presented with a mildly swollen right upper lip showing a poorly defined, relatively homogeneous subcutaneous lesion with a history of persistence for 1.5 months. The clinical examination revealed a 5 × 3–cm nodular lesion on the right side of the cheek with swelling of the right upper lip. Immunohistochemistry markers and histopathological features confirmed the diagnosis of MCC. The patient was referred to the oncology department for further management. MCC of the skin is an aggressive lesion with a high risk of metastasis and recurrence, which is more common in immunocompromised people. Prompt management and treatment of MCC is essential because if left untreated, it can spread to other parts of the body and can also metastasize to lymph nodes and other organs.

A serious gaming approach to experiencing the effects of unsolicited help and loss of autonomy (Preprint)
Authors: de Graauw Jeroen , Kuipers Derek Albert
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Maintaining self-direction and experiencing autonomy is an important basic human need. In healthcare, it is imperative that people with care needs maintain control over their own lives. Respecting autonomy and providing ethically sound care is an ethical obligation for healthcare providers. Many existing interventions focus on promoting (medical) treatments and physical conditions. This serious gaming intervention focuses on experiencing the loss of situational autonomy during nursing education and the impact of paternalistic behaviour on self-efficacy.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study was to explore, through an iterative design process, prototypes that provide nursing students and their teachers with a perspective on the loss of autonomy through unsolicited help. The design process aimed, on the one hand, to develop a serious game to confront nursing students with the effects of unsolicited help through experiential learning and to gain a perspective on the loss of autonomy. On the other hand, the aim was to make nursing students think about their role in the care process and which link they represent to prevent loss of autonomy

METHODS

This research uses a design-based research framework to develop a serious game through an iterative process. In the first phase of the research, examples of loss of autonomy through unsolicited help were collected through closed Facebook groups. In the second phase, several prototypes were developed and tested with nursing students and teachers. The impact of this experience was supported and documented through dialogue using the Circle of Feelings.

RESULTS

A total of 94 examples of loss of autonomy due to unsolicited help were collected and divided into seven different categories. Over a period of 10 weeks, four prototypes were developed to simulate loss of autonomy due to unsolicited help. By testing several prototypes, insights were gained and used to refine the design. As the study progressed, resonant game mechanics were integrated into a convergent prototype.

CONCLUSIONS

This article presents an iterative design process to offer nursing students and teachers the perspective of loss of autonomy through unsolicited help with a serious game. The conceptual structure of the intervention contributes to the discomfort of making one's own choices and executing according to one's own plan while being capable. The iterative design process was helpful in finding constructive and resonant game mechanics to further promote discomfort. This contributed to the design of a serious game as a boundary object that playfully initiates dialogue and encourages nursing students and teachers to reflect on the role of autonomy in the nursing process.

In turn, Gary Snyder’s translation also promotes the formation of his ecological philosophy to a certain extent. Faced with the increasingly serious ecological crisis, this study attempts to examine Gary Snyder’s translation of Han Shan poetry from the ecocritical perspective, exploring its ecological connotations and values from three aspects: translation selection, translation methods, and translation impact. The ecocritical study in this article aims to insert an ecological dimension to the study on English translation of poetry, and give advice to the strategy “Chinese Culture Going Global”, especially “Chinese Ecological Culture Going Global”.
An Analysis of Jia Tanchun’s “Three Talents” Character Image in the English Translation of Dream of the Red Mansions—Based on David Hawkes’s and Yang Xianyi’s Versions
Authors: Gu Jinyan
Published: March 2024

The current study aims to analyze the characterization of Jia Tanchun in English versions of Dream of the Red Chamber translated by David Hawkes and Yang Xianyi. As an important character in Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Tanchun’s image may differ in different English translations. By comparing and analyzing the translations of the two versions, this study reveals the ways in which different translations portray the character of Jia Tanchun and the cultural factors involved. By analyzing the translated texts about Jia Tanchun in the two versions, the current study finds that in Hawkes’s translation, the image of Jia Tanchun is endowed with a kind of wisdom, calmness and thoughtfulness, while Yang Xianyi’s translation highlights Jia Tanchun’s boldness, passion and adventurousness more. This may stem from the differences in the translators’ understanding of the original image of Jia Tanchun, as well as the influence of translation style and cultural background. In the process of translation, the characterization of Jia Tanchun’s “three talents” has attracted much attention. Based on the two versions, this study analyzes Jia Tanchun’s talents in management, learning and handling. The characterization of Jia Tanchun’s “three talents” is comprehensively presented in Hawkes’s and Yang Xianyi’s translations. Additionally, this study provides a new perspective for the translation of Dream of the Red Chamber and calls on translators to emphasize the shaping and expression of the characters in the process of translation and convey the rich connotation of the original. Meanwhile, readers should also keep an open and comparative mind when reading different translations to understand the work from multiple perspectives.

Abstract: Over the past two decades, the integration of machine learning (ML) techniques within educational frameworks has garnered significant attention. However, despite its widespread adoption, there remains a dearth of research focusing on developing AI systems with a core emphasis on interpretability and explainability. This paper seeks to bridge this gap by proposing an advanced framework that not only predicts students' performance accurately but also offers reliable and interpretable results tailored for career counseling. The framework merges the concepts of ML and Explainable AI (XAI) to address the complexities of career counseling in educational settings. Drawing inspiration from educational data mining, the framework aims to provide insights conducive to students' career growth and decision-making processes. By incorporating MLbased White and Black Box models, the approach analyzes a comprehensive educational dataset comprising academic and employability attributes crucial for job placements and skill development. To enhance interpretability, the framework leverages the NGBoost algorithm, known for its efficiency in prediction modeling. Additionally, it integrates Local Interpretable Modelagnostic Explanations (LIME) and Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) methods for providing both local and global explanations of model predictions, ensuring transparency and comprehensibility. Through a series of use cases, the paper showcases the applicability and effectiveness of the framework in providing actionable insights to educators and students alike. In conclusion, this research contributes to the advancement of career counseling in educational contexts by offering a robust and interpretable ML-based framework. By providing transparent insights into students' academic performance and career prospects, the approach facilitates informed decision-making and supports personalized guidance for optimal career trajectories.

Tingginya jumlah kebakaran dan kurangnya pos pemadam kebakaran di wilayah Jakarta Pusat menjadi faktor risiko yang menyebabkan petugas pemadam kebakaran mengalami beban kerja berat dan kelelahan kerja. Hal itu berpotensi menurunkan kinerja petugas. Penurunan kinerja dapat berdampak pada keselamatan dari petugas tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kelelahan kerja dan beban kerja dengan kinerja petugas pemadam kebakaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasional analitik kuantitatif dengan desain studi cross-sectional. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan simple random sampling dan jumlah sampel yang diperoleh sebanyak 109 orang yang dihitung menggunakan rumus slovin. Teknik analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-square dan pengumpulan data menggunakan instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner (Kinerja, SSRT, dan Nasa-TLX). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan variabel yang berhubungan dengan kinerja yaitu umur (p=0,027), masa kerja (p=0,017), waktu kerja (p=0,044), kelelahan kerja (p=0,005) dan beban kerja (p=0,016). Sedangkan variabel yang tidak berhubungan yaitu pendidikan (p=0,057). Oleh karena itu, disarankan Sudin Pemadam Kebakaran Jakarta Pusat untuk meningkatkan jumlah petugas guna mengurangi beban kerja akibat kekurangan personel dan perlu juga dilakukan pemantauan serta evaluasi secara rutin guna memahami kondisi para petugas dengan lebih baik.

Penggantian DSP merupakan jenis pekerjaan yang berkaitan dengan ketinggian. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengevaluasi penerapan K3 bekerja di ketinggian berdasarkan Permenaker No. 9 Tahun 2016 pada pekerjaan penggantian DSP di PT. PLN UPT Bekasi. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif bersifat observasional yang melibatkan 7 informan yaitu pekerja penggantian DSP, pengawas K3 dan project manager. Data diperoleh melalui observasi dan wawancara kepada informan menggunakan teks pedoman wawancara dengan mengacu Permenaker No. 9 Tahun 2016 tentang K3 dalam Pekerjaan Ketinggian. Hasil penelitian yang diketahui melalui observasi dan wawancara menunjukkan bahwa pekerjaan penggantian DSP masih kurang peduli terhadap aspek K3, belum melaksanakan kesiapsiagaan tanggap darurat, dan terdapat tenaga kerja yang kurang berkompeten. Penyebab dari permasalahan tersebut adalah kurangnya SDM yang menyebabkan perusahaan memanfaatkan tenaga kerja lepas harian, hal tersebut disampaikan secara langsung oleh project manager melalui wawancara. Secara keseluruhan pekerjaan penggantian DSP belum sepenuhnya melakukan penerapan K3 bekerja di ketinggian sesuai Permenaker No. 9 Tahun 2016. Rekomendasi yang dapat diberikan kepada perusahaan adalah dengan meningkatkan screening, monitoring, dan evaluasi, perusahaan dapat memberikan induction khusus yang membahas terkait jenis pekerjaan di ketinggian dan update regulasi terbaru tentang K3 bekerja di ketinggian untuk dapat diterapkan sehingga potensi dan risiko bahaya dapat di minimalisir

ABSTRACT
Pneumonia is inflammation of the lung which is the main cause of child death in the world, including in Indonesia. Pneumonia may be triggered by host and environmental factors. To date, a few studies have examined the relationship between toddler characteristics, environmental, and demographic factors with the incidence of toddler pneumonia, with inconsistent results. Therefore, we aimed to determine the relationship between the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding, LBW, healthy house, and population density to pneumonia among toddlers in Depok City in 2013-2022. The data such as Incidence of pneumonia, coverage of exclusive breastfeeding, coverage of LBW, coverage of healthy house, and population density were obtained from Depok City Government. The data is secondary data from 2013-2022. The study design used was an ecological study design and the population was all toddlers diagnosed with pneumonia in Depok City. The coverage of pneumonia cases found in toddlers in Depok City has increased in 2022 to reach 55.28%. Our results demonstrated a significant relationship between the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.000, r=-0.497), the coverage of LBW (p=0.011, r=0.242), and the coverage of healthy house (p=0.026, r=0.212). While the population density did not show a significant relationship with the incidence of pneumonia (p=0.099, r=0.158). Exclusive breastfeeding, LBW, healthy house are the underlying relationship for pneumonia among toddlers in Depok City. The results indicate to be an input for planning pneumonia prevention and control programs in Depok City in the future.
