Effects of luck beliefs on consumers' variety-seeking behavior
Authors: Zhao Jianbin , Li Zheng , Xiong Guobao
Published: March 2021

From a risk perspective and using the courage–ability–willingness theory in relation to consumer choice, we built a model with luck beliefs as the independent variable, psychological security and self-efficacy as mediating variables, optimum stimulation level as the moderating
variable, and variety seeking as the outcome variable. We conducted an online survey and analyzed data from 593 participants using structural equation modeling. The results show that personal luckiness and belief in luck positively affected variety seeking, psychological security and self-efficacy
mediated the influence of luck beliefs on variety seeking, and optimum stimulation level positively affected variety seeking and positively moderated the effect of personal luck on variety seeking. However, the moderating effect of belief in luck on variety seeking was nonsignificant. Practical
and theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.

Theoretical and Methodological Features of the Analysis of the Basic Concepts of the Modern Theory of National Security
Authors: Feonichev A. B. , Meleshin K. Yu.
Published: March 2021

The article discusses the basic concepts of modern security theory: “danger”, “threat”, “challenge”, “risk” and “interest”. Based on the analysis of the content and correlation of these terms, the essence, nature and causes of threats to the national security of the Russian Federation are consider. The authors propose a revised definition of “threat to national security” as “a potential problem situation, which, without timely detection and resolution may lead to violation of stable operation or the destruction of the state”. Analysis of modern scientific literature on national security issues has shown that the term “call”, used in the meaning of “signal messages”, does not coincide with the original meaning of the term, understood as “challenge” — a problem C Based on this, the concepts of “threat” and “challenge” (understood as a problem situation) are synonymous. As a result, the authors concluded that there are two different conceptual approaches to security. Eurasian, which is characterize by the “threat — danger — damage” model, and Anglo-Saxon, which considers the mechanism of threat development through the “interest — control — lack of control — challenge — risk” model. In this case, interest and control are consider in relation to resources, territories, technologies, challenge as a problem situation that needs to be solved and risk as a possibility of lost profits.

Published: March 2021

The paper discusses the possibilities of using mixed methods research in the management of a modern university. The goal of the study is to substantiate the heuristic potential of mixed methods research to identify effective approaches to managing the faculty in modern conditions.

The study describes iterative data analysis within the framework of a mixed strategy:1) standard quantitative analysis; 2) quantitative triangulation, including the use of several methods, such as the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA); 3) standard qualitative analysis; 4) mixed triangulation, which ultimately led to a synergistic effect.

The research results lie in different ways, including methodological and content related. The methodological results include the identification of the special heuristic potential of mixed methods during exploratory research; in the substantive part, a situation of social maladjustment of faculty was diagnosed in the context of developing “academic capitalism”, when the academic community, taking into account both economic and increasing social deprivation, is demotivated for effective labor activity.

Published: March 2021

Los metales pesados son elementos minerales cuya acumulación en el suelo, el agua y los tejidos vegetales constituyen un riesgo para la salud pública. Enfermedades cancerígenas, renales y hepáticas están asociadas a altas concentraciones de estos elementos. De igual forma, la acumulación de metales pesados está relacionada con actividades industriales, pero también a la producción agrícola, producto del uso excesivo de agroquímicos. Para evaluar los riesgos de contaminación por metales pesados en suelos agrícolas de la localidad de Turén al noroccidente de Venezuela, se midió el contenido de Cd, Cu, Co, Zn, Fe, Mn, Ni, Ar y Se en suelos bajo dos sistemas de labranza - convencional y siembra directa - en dos posiciones fisiográficas: napa alta y napa baja, mediante fluorescencia de rayos X. Las muestras fueron tomadas a dos profundidades: 0-10 y 10-20 cm, con 9 muestras por posición dentro de cada sistema de labranza. Los resultados mostraron que el contenido de Co, Cu, Ni, Cd y Zn fue mayor en el sistema de siembra directa debido al uso prolongado de abonos fosfatados Asimismo, la mayor acumulación se observó en la napa baja, lo cual estuvo relacionado a un mayor contenido de arcilla y a la capacidad de intercambio catiónico. Finalmente, se determinó que los valores de Co, Cu y Cd estuvieron por encima de los valores máximos permitidos por las normas ambientales internacionales La acumulación de metales pesados en suelos de Turén, tanto en el sistema de labranza convencional como en el de siembra directa, son producto del uso continuo de agroquímicos, en particular de la fertilización fosfatada, por lo que se recomienda reducir el uso de agroquímicos, además de llevar cabo acciones de biorremediación para su eliminación del suelo y evitar los problemas de contaminación que a largo plazo y problemas de salud asociada a la presencia de los mismos en suelos y aguas.

Published: March 2021

We aimed to investigate the relationship between COVID-19 and Erectile
Dysfunction (ED) and the effect of serum testosterone level on the
disease prognosis. Between April-December 2020, 70 patients who admitted
with a complaint of ED after having COVID-19 and whose serum
testosterone level was checked for any reason before COVID-19. The
patients filled the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5)
and their testosterone level was checked. This questionnaire was
arranged to present the first month before COVID-19 and after COVID-19.
The patients were registered as 20-40 age group 1, 40-60 age group 2 and
60 years and above group 3. Testosterone levels of the patients before
and after COVID-19 were compared. The relationship between testosterone
levels and hospitalization in the intensive care was evaluated. It was
revealed that testosterone levels and IIEF-5 scores after COVID-19 in
all three groups were statisticaly and significantly different compared
to the period before COVID-19 (p <0.05). Testosterone levels
of patients in need of intensive care were significantly higher than
those without any need of intensive care (p <0.05). Our study
has presented that COVID-19 may cause ED and high testosterone levels
increase the rate of hospitalization in the intensive care by
intensifying the disease. Keywords COVID-19, erectile dysfunction,
testosterone What’s already known about this topic? The relationship
between Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and COVID-19 develops due to
vasculogenic and hormonal causes which were caused by the primary
disease. What does this article add? We showed with this study that
COVID-19 causes ED in all age groups, reduces testosterone levels
seriously. Moreover, we also presented that the higher the testosterone
levels during COVID-19, the more severe the disease progresses.
Suspended solids induced increasing microbial ammonium recycling along the river-estuary continuum of Yangtze River
Authors: Xue Jingya , Zhao Zhonghua , Yao Xiaolong , Liu Weiting , Zhang Lu
Published: March 2021

Many large rivers worldwide are enriched with high levels of suspended
solids (SS), which are known to be hotspots of many nitrogen (N)
transformation processes (e.g., denitrification, nitrification).
However, the influence of SS on microbial ammonium (NH4+) recycling
remains unclear. Water column NH4+ regeneration rates (REGs) and
potential uptake rates (Upots) as well as community biological NH4+
demand (CBAD) was measured in the river-estuary continuum of the third
longest river in the world—Yangtze River, where shows dramatic SS
gradients. We found that, REGs, Upots, and CBAD all showed increasing
trends along the river flow, with higher REGs, Upots, and CBAD in the
estuary than in the river sections. The regeneration and uptake of NH4+
were nearly balanced in the river sections, while the positive CBAD in
the estuary indicated obvious NH4+ demand of microbes. Concentrations of
SS, which also controls the content of chemical oxygen demand and
particulate N, were the main factor influencing NH4+ recycling rates and
CBAD. SS induced regenerated NH4+ in the river-estuary continuum of
Yangtze River was estimated to be 21.81 × 108 kg N yr−1 and accounted
for about 25% of total N inputs, suggesting that regenerated NH4+ is an
important N source for microbes and may influence nutrient dynamics in
lower coasts. To our knowledge, this is the first to report NH4+
recycling in Yangtze River with an emphasis on its influencing factors
and contribution to N budgets.
Review of CFTR Modulators 2020
Authors: Goetz Danielle , Savant Adrienne
Published: March 2021

CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) modulators
are small molecules that directly change the CFTR protein, improving
function of the CFTR chloride channel. Beginning in 2012 with the FDA
approval of the first CFTR modulator, ivacaftor, this class of
medication has had largely positive effects on many outcomes in people
with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), including lung function, quality of life,
and growth. There have been continued exciting developments in the
current research on CFTR modulators, expanding beyond original studies.
This first part of a three-part Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Year in Review 2020
will focus on research on CFTR modulators. Subsequent parts of the CF
year in review will cover pulmonary and infectious inflammatory aspects,
and the multisystem effects of CF in the 2020 literature. The review
focuses on articles from Pediatric Pulmonology, but it includes articles
from other journals that are of particular interest to clinicians. New
developments in CF research continue to be brought forth to the CF
community, deepening the understanding of this disease and improving
clinical care.

Published: March 2021

Introduction/Objective. Dental patient-reported outcome measures are very important in a diseasespecific population such as edentulous subjects. The aim of the study was to adapt the Oral Health Impact Profile for Edentulous Subjects (OHIP-EDENT) in the cultural environment of North Macedonia. Methods. This study adapted the original 19-item version of the OHIP-EDENT. After the forward?backward translation according to international standards, the OHIP-EDENT-MAC was psychometrically tested in 109 complete denture wearers. Results. The Cronbach?s ? coefficient of 0.892 confirmed good internal consistency. Test?retest reliability was confirmed by high intraclass correlation coefficient of the summary scores (0.986; 95% confidence interval 0.968?0.993). The concurrent validity was confirmed by the Spearman?s rank correlation coefficient (r = -0.654) between the OHIP-EDENT-MAC summary scores and a single question which rated satisfaction with the existing removable dentures using a five-point scale (1 = unsatisfied, 5 = completely satisfied). Construct validity was confirmed by exploratory factor analysis. All item loadings were above 0.4. Items grouped in four factors (dimensions), which explained 66.25% of the variance, in both non-rotated and rotated matrices. Good responsiveness was confirmed in 33 participants after complete denture relining. Their OHIP Summary score (33.09 ?} 11.61) decreased significantly (t = 7.68; df = 32; p < 0.001) after treatment (24.39 ?} 8). The standardized effect size was 0.75, representing moderate to large effect. Conclusion. The OHIP-EDENT-MAC showed satisfactory psychometric properties providing evidence for its use in edentulous population of North Macedonia.

Between City and Nation of Sanctuary: Examining the Political Geographies of Asylum and Hospitality in Wales
Authors:   , Bernhardt Franz
Published: March 2021

In response to what has been called the European ‘refugee crisis’ in 2015, the Welsh Government committed that Wales should become the world’s first Nation of Sanctuary through building a culture of welcome and hospitality. This was an interesting moment given that Wales does not have direct responsibility for British borders. Considering the urban origins of the sanctuary movement, this was also the first-time a (devolved) state administration adopted this vocabulary to frame their relation to refugees and asylum seekers. What might it mean, in practice and in theory, for Wales to declare itself a ‘Nation of Sanctuary’? What are the theoretical and political imaginaries of sanctuary, national identity and hospitality at work in this context? What are their historical precedents? And how do they relate to political responses to the crisis across the UK and Europe? This thesis examines what the idea of a Welsh Nation of Sanctuary means, what it does, and how the discourses and narratives of a ‘Nation of Sanctuary’ provide new ways of revisiting the metaphor of hospitality, and its role in sovereign framings of migration. While the critical literature on migration and the sanctuary movement explored the limits of hospitality as a framing response to the exclusionary politics of asylum, this thesis argues that this national sanctuary discourse is also used to challenge a sovereign nation-state on the expectations of what it entails to ‘be a host’ to refugees and asylum seekers. Drawing on semi-structured interviews, archival material and documents from the Welsh and British government, this thesis argues that this new national sanctuary framing creates a second othering. Here, a subnational or devolved territorial unit creates national self-imaginaries through a politics of differentiation against the sovereign nation-state, with regards to the exclusionary politics of asylum.

This paper was abstracted from writer experiences in conducting the second year Community Service program among farmer group organizations in Anduriang Village at Padang Pariaman Regency. This program was aimed at increasing the knowledge and skills of farmer groups’ human resources in processing animal feed made from natural raw materials, especially from the golden snail, which has often been the enemy of farmers all this time. This study was inspired by various conditions that indicated the powerless of the farmer groups in overcoming the problem of golden snail pests in the Anduriang Village at Padang Pariaman Regency. This issue was reflected in part from the lack of understanding and awareness of farmers in controlling the golden snail pests. Based on this condition, various farmer empowerment programs were needed to be implemented in the form of increasing the farmers’ knowledge and skills in economic development of the society, particularly for the farmer group as target groups of this program. These empowerment programs needed to be conducted collaboratively and synergistically between the local government and universities.

Reaction bonded silicon carbide is well known for use as axial seal faces. The properties have been optimized in order to improve the performance of dynamic seals. 3D-printed silicon carbide will be introduced. The new material allows forming much more complicated shapes and seal ring designs. The new material shows a different structure compared to compression molded reaction bonded silicon carbide due to the special manufacturing process. Therefore, first comparative tests of seal-rings under marginal lubricated conditions have been performed. The results are presented and the possible use of 3D-printed silicon carbide in the sealing technology is discussed. A first fundamental design study implies the potential of producing seal rings with an additional functionality. A simplified model of a seal ring with internal structures is shown and some ideas will be shared whether additional benefit could be achieved.

Covid-19 pandemic forced Turkey, like other countries, to give up face to face teaching in all educational institutions and to move toward distance education. This research aims to determine the learning experiences of foreign language students participating in distance education during the pandemic and their beliefs about whether it is possible to learn a foreign language without school. There were two problems that attempted to be answered; first, is it possible to learn a foreign language during and after the pandemic without being physically at school and second, what kinds of experiences do students gain in distance learning of foreign languages. The sample of the study consists of the students of department of foreign languages at Atatürk University, in Turkey. The study was carried out with a sample population composed of two hundred forty-two male and female students from German, French, and English Language Education Departments. A questionnaire consisting of thirteen close-ended questions created with a 5-Likert type developed by the researcher was applied. Participants answered the questionnaire online via Atatürk University Course Information System. The data were analyzed through the SPSS program to determine their frequency and descriptive analysis, and interpreted with content analysis and descriptive analysis. The results demonstrated that students believe that they can’t learn a foreign language without going to school. Additionally, the findings indicated that their digital literacy skills are insufficient in distance teaching, and students show low motivation in learning.

This study aims at identifying motivation toward English language learning among students ofdifferent fields of study. More specifically, it tries to identify the two types of motivation (integrative/ instrumental) among those students and also the preferred activities used by them. This study is qualitative and quantitative, which uses two types of instruments: a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. In the survey, there are 150 responses collected from the participants who answered the questionnaire questions. In the interview, the researcher interviewed three participants. The results of this study show that the students of different fields of study were motivated instrumentally rather than integratively. Finally, the results also indicate that the participants identified different learning activities.
The Effectiveness of Internet and Mobile Applications in English Language Learning for Health Sciences’ Students in a University in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Ibrahim Mohamed Omnia
Published: March 2021

This study investigates the impact of internet and mobile applications on enhancing students’ language skills. It examines the students’ opinion regarding English online learning using the different internet or mobile applications. The participants were approximately 80 students from RAK Medical and Health Sciences University located in Ras Al Khaimah in The United Arab Emirates. A closed-ended questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants. The results revealed that internet applications have a positive impact on learning English as a foreign language. Students’ attitudes towards using internet applications for learning English scored very high in certain areas, while the impact was lower in some other areas that is related to speaking, listening or to group discussions. Based on these results, the researcher suggests that internet applications can be activated at all stages of English language learning and teaching. The implementation of mobile and internet applications is recommended together with the face-to-face learning as a sort of blended learning. It can be budget friendly for universities and at the same time effortless for the students as long as it gives the same impact as face-to-face learning. Therefore, the significance of the study is to try to utilize the best online technological method for teaching and learning English Language that is useful to instructors, institutions as well as students.
The Comparison between the Process-oriented Approach and the Product-oriented Approach in Teaching Writing The Case of Moroccan EFL Students in Preparatory Classes for the Grandes Ecoles
Authors: Kadmiry Mariam
Published: March 2021

Writing is an important language skill, and learning to write is not an easy endeavour, especially for English as a foreign language (EFL) students. An effective EFL writing instruction, therefore, plays a significant role in helping EFL students deal with writing problems efficiently and approach writing tasks effectively. Based on this premise, the present study aims at investigating the effect of two alternative writing approaches, process and product, on Moroccan EFL students’ writing performance to find out which of these approaches is more effective. It explores process writing instruction based on Hayes’ (2012) recent model that responded to both critiques of the 1980-s original model of Flower and Hayes and to new ideas, which adds more layers to EFL writing research and instruction. To this end, the participants were divided into two groups, A and B, and they all took a writing pre-test before the treatment. For three months (two hours per week), group A students received academic argumentative writing instruction that was product-oriented, while group B students were taught academic argumentative writing based on Hayes’ (2012) process writing model. After the treatment, all participants took a writing post-test. The analysis of the collected data revealed that group B participants showed a significant improvement in their compositions compared to their group A counterparts, which provides evidence that the process-oriented approach is more effective in enhancing EFL writing than the product-oriented approach. In the light of these findings, some pedagogical recommendations were suggested.

Metacognitive awareness is considered a crucial factor in reading comprehension. In the present study, the quantitative research method was applied using descriptive statistics, T-test, and ANOVA to identify: (1) What is second language (L2) Vietnamese students’ metacognitive awareness of reading strategies? (2) Are there any significant differences between male and female L2 Vietnamese students in metacognitive awareness of reading strategies? (3) Are there any significant differences between good, medium, and poor L2 Vietnamese readers in metacognitive awareness of reading strategies? One hundred and twenty-three English-majored undergraduates of Hong Bang International University completed an online survey which discovers their frequencies of using problem-solving, global, and support reading strategies. They next took a comprehension test on the TOEIC format test, whose results were adopted to classify students into three levels, namely good, medium, and poor readers. Reading strategies usage mean scores were compared across three strategy types and these scores were collated between groups. Results showed; first, reading strategies were used in academic texts at medium frequency level with the high usage of problem-solving strategies, followed by medium usage of support and global reading strategies. Second, female readers showed a higher frequency of using support strategies than males did. Third, learners’ proficiency levels were found to predict the levels of metacognitive awareness in reading with high-reading-ability students applying reading strategies more frequently than poor-reading-ability ones. This is significant to indicate that instructors should integrate all three reading strategies in their teaching, especially, raising awareness of global and support reading strategies among Vietnamese learners.
