SIMPLE VS SOPHISTICATED EPISTEMIC BELIEFS AN INITIAL STEP TO DEVELOP SEMINAR ON ELT COURSE MATERIAL
Authors: Delijar Ressi , Ive Emaliana
Published: December 2021

The development of appropriate teaching materials not only needs to be adjusted to the latest curriculum but also to the needs of the parties involved in learning. One of the parties involved is the learner. The needs of learners in the learning process must be known in order to develop appropriate teaching materials. This study is intended to map the needs of learners in the Seminar on ELT class as a first step to develop appropriate teaching materials by considering the different characteristics of students through the perspective of their epistemological beliefs. The participants involved in this study were 102 students who had attended the Seminar on ELT class. The result showed that majority of Seminar on ELT students (95%) are having sophisticated epistemic beliefs which we can describe them as the students that believe the knowledge is always changing or tentative, learning can be done individually by everyone, their knowledge of English did not come from authority, but through reason or logic experiences. They also believe that everyone can learn English from the beginning, no matter what age, or even their background. They agree on process-oriented learning. They also tend to have high motivation to learn English regardless of whether the motivation is extrinsic or intrinsic motivation. With this finding, we can finally understand the characteristics of the Seminar on ELT students as an initial step to develop an appropriate course material.

Published: December 2021

Adhering to the rules governing the writing of multiple-choice test items will ensure quality and validity. However, realizing this ideal could be challenging for non-native English language teachers and students. This is especially so for non-native English language teachers because developing test items in a language that neither they nor their students use as their mother tongue raises a multitude of issues related to quality and validity. A descriptive study on this problem was conducted at a Technical University in Ghana which focused on item writing flaws in a communication skills test. The use of multiple-choice test in Ghanaian universities has increased over the last decade due to increasing student intake. A 20-item multiple-choice test in communication skills was administered to 110 students. The test items were analyzed using a framework informed by standard item writing principles based on the revised taxonomy of multiple-choice item-writing guides by Haladyna, Downing and Rodriguez (2002). The facility and discrimination index (DI) was calculated for all the items. In total, 60% of the items were flawed based on standard items writing principles. The most violated guideline was wording stems negatively. Pearson correlation analysis indicated a weak relationship between the difficulty and discrimination indices. Using the discrimination indices of the flawed items showed that 84.6 % of them had discrimination indices below the optimal level of 0.40 and above. The lowest DI was recorded by an item with which was worded negatively. The mean facility of the test was 45%. It was observed that the flawed items were more difficult than the non-flawed items. The study suggested that test items must be properly reviewed before they are used to assess students’ knowledge.

Authors: Rabiu Olawunmi Rashidat , Dada-Adegbola Hannah , Falade Catherine Olufunke , Arinola Olatunbosun Ganiyu , Odaibo Alexander Bababunmi , Ademowo George Olusegun
Published: December 2021

Background or Objectives: Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is widespread in sub-Saharan Africa with similarity in geographical distribution of major pathogens of public health interest. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of malaria and helminths on CD4 count, hematocrit values and viral load among HIV-infected pregnant women.
Methods: One hundred and ninety-seven HIV-infected pregnant women aged 18-45 years were recruited from a registered HIV clinic and questionnaires were administered for socio-demographic details. Screening for malaria parasites in blood was through microscopy while helminths were identified in stool using Kato-Katz method. Hematocrit levels were determined through centrifugation of blood collected in capillary tubes. At the time of recruitment, most recent CD4 count and viral load was obtained from the patients’ case notes.
Results: About three-quarters (73.6%) of the women had above primary school level of education while more than half (60.2%) were petty traders. The prevalence of malaria parasites in the blood samples was 24.9%, while 3% were infected with helminths. There was only a single case of malaria, helminths and HIV co-infection in the study group. Prevalence of anemia was 75.6% with eight cases (4.1%) of severe anemia. About 86.6% of the women with anemia had low CD4 count (Χ2= 8.801, p=0.032). The mean CD4 count was significantly lower among those with co-infection of malaria and HIV.
Conclusion and Global Health Implications: Malaria or helminth infection among HIV-infected women lowers the CD4 count and increases the viral load with little changes in hematocrit values. Routine screening of HIV-infected women for probable multiple infections will aid in improving their overall health and well-being.

A Peace-Oriented Investigation of the Ethnic Identity Challenge in Iran (A Study of Five Iranian Ethnic Groups with the GT Method)
Authors: AHMADY Kameel
Published: December 2021

In the contemporary era, Iran has undergone a continuous experience of identity/ethnic multiplicity, which has caused serious interethnic conflicts revolving around discrimination and inequality in the urge for identity and justice and with a peace-oriented trace as the process of globalization has developed.In this research, the influence on Iranian civilization in terms of land, language, and religion have been investigated in five ethnic groups, including Persian, Azeri, Kurd, Arab, and Baloch, given different aspects of Islamic and Western governments. The consideration of the Persian ethnic identity as the exclusive component of Iranian national identity has reduced ancient Iranian identity and brought about claims for identity in other ethnic groups.The present article is an extract from author’s recently published book2 which has adopted a hybrid qualitative approach (GT), in-depth interview surveys and tools, library documentation, and an open questionnaire in thirteen provinces to extract and classify data in the following areas: religious identity and national identity (interaction or opposition), interethnic cultural borders, ethnic and national movement dead-end, elimination of cultures, and a peace-oriented approach to resolving the crisis. Thus, a conceptual model has been obtained, shaping basic factors (economic and ideological), intervening factors (media and lifestyle), grounded factors (legal and cultural parameters and resource mismanagement), and phenomenal orientation (claim for justice and socio-political gap) and presenting strategic action (peaceful action, acceptance of the present conditions, and state-nation interaction) and its outcomes (stability and decline of social capital).
ways of self-reliance development: comparative study of the old man and the sea and Robinson Crusoe
Authors: Nuriadi Nuriadi , Melani Boniesta Z.
Published: December 2021

This article discusses the similarities in developing self-reliance by the two main characters in two novels, Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea (i.e., Santiago) and Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe (i.e., Robinson Crusoe). Qualitative analysis with the frame of dynamic structuralism theory of Jan Mukarovsky discovered that both protagonist characters, Santiago and Crusoe, are doing several things as their ways to rebuild and develop their self-reliance in coping with several obstacles. To develop his self-reliance, Santiago recollects his past experiences, identifies himself as a powerful figure, and recognizes certain factors supporting his struggle, while Crusoe performs certain efforts to extend his survival, and recognizes God’s power in his life.  Despite their different ways to build self-reliance, the two figures both show optimism to survive their odd and unfortunate yet valuable experience. Reflecting on Santiago and Crusoe’s life experiences, self-reliance is a pivotal attribute for ones’ survival and success and serves as a mental asset to face the common under-pressured life.

Authors: Masés-García Carlos A. , Herrera-Fernández Bernal , Briones-Salas Miguel
Published: December 2021

Las actividades antropogénicas amenazan cada vez más la extensión y procesos de los ecosistemas. La Lista Roja de Ecosistemas (LRE) de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (IUCN, por sus siglas en inglés) es un estándar global para evaluar su riesgo de colapso. En este trabajo se analizaron las tendencias mundiales en las evaluaciones de riesgo de los ecosistemas terrestres y humedales, mediante la búsqueda y análisis de publicaciones del 2010 a 2019 que aplicaron los protocolos de la LRE. Se encontraron 43 publicaciones que evaluaron 1227 ecosistemas:  bosques (531), matorrales (181), pastizales y herbazales (212), humedales (166), costeros (42) y de vegetación escasa o poco comunes (95). Se registraron 15 criterios para delimitar los ecosistemas, destacó el tipo de vegetación usada como proxy en todos los casos. Existió una fuerte variación en las extensiones de los ecosistemas. Se identificaron 34 variables para definir umbrales de colapso: una espacial, 15 bióticas y 18 abióticas; el cambio en la cobertura vegetal, extensión y distribución geográfica fueron de aplicación general. Los periodos de datos fiables para evaluar ecosistemas van de 12 a 48 años, con ellos se infirieron lapsos de 50 años (pasado o futuro), o se dedujeron cambios desde 1750. Sobresalieron los ecosistemas en “Preocupación Menor” (412), se encontraron solo dos “colapsados” y no hubo diferencia significativa entre amenazados y no-amenazados. Las evaluaciones analizadas incidieron en 69 países, se realizaron a escalas continentales, nacionales y subnacionales. Se proponen mejoras a los protocolos de la LRE y se proporciona información clave para aplicar en evaluaciones de riesgo ecosistémico en el futuro.

Authors: Moreno Unda Arcelia Amaranta , Perevochtchikova María
Published: December 2021

En el contexto de la expansión urbana, se resalta la importancia de la preservación de servicios ecosistémicos que proveen territorios periurbanos. En relación, se han desarrollado y aplicado diversos incentivos directos para la conservación (IDC); sin embargo, con frecuencia se da el caso de sobreposición de los instrumentos y de desconocimiento de inversiones totales, pr lo que el objetivo del presente trabajo ha sido desarrollar un primer diagnóstico de las inversiones en los programas de conservación ambiental en el Suelo de Conservación de la Ciudad de México, 2000- 2018. Para esto se recurrió metodológicamente a la recopilación y la sistematización de la información oficial disponible (datos abiertos), de más de 500 documentos de programas gubernamentales a escala federal y local, y la construcción y análisis de una base de datos (organizados por institución, tipo de programa, subprograma, año, monto, beneficiario), y visualización mediante una red de actores de apoyos formalizados (de “proveedor-receptor”). Como resultado, se presentan la línea de tiempo de los IDC, con inversiones por institución y totales, y se identifican los principales aportadores y beneficiarios.  Al final, se comparan los montos de inversión con costo de oportunidad y se determinan retos a futuro en cuanto a la evaluación de los efectos de los programas locales, de la efectividad de los instrumentos y el análisis de la influencia del contexto en la efectividad de los IDC.

Authors: Gómez-Mendoza Félix Francisco , Rodríguez-Trejo Dante Arturo
Published: December 2021

Los incendios forestales están aumentando en el planeta debido al efecto invernadero, por lo que es necesario comprender mejor sus efectos, para lograr un adecuado manejo del fuego. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar y modelar las probabilidades de mortalidad (Pm) y rebrotación (Pr) en Pinus montezumae, Pinus teocote, P. patula, Quercus spp. (Q. crassifolia, Q. rugosa, Q. crassipes), Arbutus xalapensis y Alnus acuminata nueve meses después de un incendio en el ejido Michac, municipio de Chignahuapan, Puebla. Se usaron modelos logísticos y las estimaciones se obtuvieron con el programa SAS. Se logró obtener modelos robustos para la Pm en una especie (dos modelos) y la Pr en tres especies (siete modelos). La Pm fue una función inversa de la altura y el diámetro normal en P. montezumae. Para Pr, se encontró una relación inversa con altura y diámetro normal en P. montezumae, Q. spp. y A. xalapensis, así como una relación directa con el porcentaje de copa afectada en P. montezumae (todos los modelos con p ≤ 0.05 para las variables, límites de confianza sin incluir 1, concordancia ≥ 40% y p de la prueba de bondad de ajuste > 0.05). A pesar de la severidad del fuego, las especies muestran adaptaciones, como la rebrotación, que indican supervivencia. Este tipo de información es de utilidad para estimar mortalidad arbórea por incendios, en quemas prescritas, la elección de sitios para manejo de combustibles y valorar la conveniencia de realizar actividades de reforestación y restauración.

Published: December 2021

Las propiedades fisicoquímicas de los residuos mineros tienden a inhibir los procesos de formación del suelo y el crecimiento de las plantas. Sin embargo, existen especies capaces de crecer en ambientes contaminados y absorber metales pesados. En Tlalpujahua, Michoacán, como en muchos sitios mineros, hay depósitos contaminados con mercurio a causa de las prácticas de beneficio de los metales. Se estudió el efecto de la presencia de mercurio en el sustrato, en el desempeño de plantas jóvenes de coníferas con individuos de Pinus devoniana Lindley, Pinus pseudostrobus Lindley, Pinus martinezii E. Larsen y Juniperus deppeana Steud. Las plantas de cada especie se sometieron a cinco dosis de mercurio adicionadas al sustrato y se midió la altura y se cuantificó la biomasa seca aérea y de raíz. Pinus devoniana y Pinus pseudostrobus disminuyeron su crecimiento después de ser expuestas a 15 ppm de mercurio en disolución. Las raíces de P. devoniana presentaron menor biomasa que las raíces de las plantas control. Pinus martinezii fue resistente al mercurio, mientras que J. deppeana muestra una tolerancia intermedia a la presencia de mercurio. Los resultados obtenidos indican que J. deppeana y P. martinezii son especies tolerantes al mercurio potencialmente útiles para la rehabilitación de sitios contaminados.

Published: December 2021

El diámetro normal tiene correlación alta con otros atributos del árbol y del rodal, por tanto, su modelación es relevante. El objetivo de este trabajo fue desarrollar una ecuación dinámica para estimar, en función de la edad, el crecimiento e incremento en diámetro normal de árboles de Pinus montezumae. Se utilizó una muestra de 81 árboles colectados en la región “Ixta-Popo” de Puebla, México y se aplicó la técnica de análisis trocal. Se evaluó la calidad de ajuste de seis ecuaciones dinámicas expresadas en diferencia algebraica (DA) y en su generalización (DAG). La mejor ecuación fue seleccionada usando criterios estadísticos y análisis gráficos, esta se basó en un modelo de crecimiento de Korf expresado en DAG, que posteriormente se ajustó con el método de variables artificiales y se corrigió la autocorrelación y la heterocedasticidad. Esta ecuación presentó alta precisión y exactitud (RCME = 2.393 cm, sesgo = 0.055 cm); se usó para construir una familia de curvas de crecimiento con base en el índice de diámetro normal (IDn) para determinar el crecimiento corriente y medio anual (ICA e IMA), así como el tiempo de paso (TP) por categoría diamétrica (CD). Para una condición promedio (IDn = 37 cm), el ICAmáx fue de 1 cm año-1 que corresponde a 9.33 cm de Dn y se alcanza a los 14.8 años; el IMAmáx fue de 0.79 cm año-1 que corresponde a 25 cm y sucede a la edad de 31.6 años; el TP promedio fue de 8.09 años para un intervalo de 5 cm a 55 cm con CD de 5 cm. La ecuación desarrollada puede formar parte de sistemas de crecimiento y rendimiento maderable para el manejo sustentable de esta especie en la zona de estudio.

The educational process depends on many procedures, which lead to positive educational outcomes. The research depends on modern technology in the design and development of an electronic tool that manages the teaching process in the classroom from beginning to end. The purpose of the research is to monitor the teacher's procedures by following up on all teaching procedures using an electronic tool for managing the educational process. The teacher implemented all educational lesson procedures in the classroom through the proposed electronic tool according to its prior preparation. The researcher designed a cognitive achievement test for students of the experimental and control groups to measure the effectiveness of the electronic tool. An attitude scale was applied to teachers to identify their attitude toward using the tool in monitoring procedures in the classroom to ensure the effectiveness of the proposed electronic tool in developing the educational process and enriching the academic situation. The research's results indicated that using the proposed electronic tool improved students' educational achievement by comparing the students' results in the experimental and control groups. The teachers' attitude toward using the tool was also characterized as favorable and desired. The research recommended applying the proposed electronic tool to a more significant number of teachers in different specializations, using the tool reports in overcoming problems in the classroom, and conducting more studies related to performance follow-up and observation in the classroom.

Published: December 2021

Термическая стабильность пленок кремний-на-изоляторе толщиной 4.7 и 2.2 нм исследовалась в зависимости от температуры отжига в интервале T=800-1200oС методами сканирующей электронной микроскопии и спектральной эллипсометрии. Никаких признаков плавления пленок не наблюдалось, пленки оставались протяженными в указанном интервале температур. Обнаружено уменьшение толщины пленок и изменение их фазового состава с ростом температуры. По данным спектральной эллипсометрии, с увеличением температуры отжига доля кристаллической фазы в пленках уменьшается, а доля аморфной растет. Определена энергия активации процесса аморфизации пленок. Обнаруженный эффект обсуждается с точки зрения диффузии атомов кислорода в пленку кремния и перестройки Si-Si-связей. Ключевые слова: кремний-на-изоляторе, термическая стабильность, наноструктуры, аморфизация.

Проведена модернизация развитого ранее метода восстановления рельефа изолирующего потенциала, создаваемого сверхтонким слоем окисла кремния, из полевых зависимостей туннельного тока. Рассчитаны параметры трапецеидального модельного потенциала, обеспечивающие максимально близкую к экспериментальной зависимость производной логарифма тока по напряжению. Изменен подход к запуску процедуры последовательных итераций потенциала --- вместо обнуления в нулевом приближении значений координаты первой точки поворота использованы функции, вычисляемые из модельной формы. Модернизированный алгоритм применен к экспериментальным полевым зависимостям тока в структурах n+-Si-SiO2-n-Si с толщиной окисла 3.7 нм, обладающих ярко выраженной асимметрией туннельных вольт-амперных характеристик по отношению к полярности внешнего напряжения. Восстановленный из экспериментальных данных эффективный потенциальный барьер всегда существенно тоньше изолирующего слоя, его максимум смещен к контакту с поликристаллическим материалом, а эффективная масса туннелирующего электрона в разы больше типичного для толстого окисла кремния значения. Ключевые слова: вырожденный поликремний--окисел кремния--кремний, сверхтонкий окисел, туннельные вольт-амперные характеристики, изолирующий потенциальный рельеф.
Anti-Corruption NGOs as Think Tanks
Authors: Yusuke Ishikawa
Published: December 2021

While anti-corruption scholars have analyzed and explained theoretically citizen-based anti- corruption approaches, studies on one of the most important aspects of a leading anti-corruption non-governmental organization (NGO) has been limited: the role of Transparency International (TI), in particular national branches of TI, as a think tank. Drawing on data from an interview with a former head of TI in the UK (TI-UK), this study will conduct a preliminary review and analysis of the effects of TI-UK in anti-corruption policymaking. The analysis shows that TI-UK was not only involved in the drafting of legislation but also had an impact on the outcomes during the legislation and initial implementation processes. This study is expected to contribute to understandings of anti-corruption policymaking processes and development of theories and practices of anti-corruption reforms.
Building Legitimacy
Authors: Andrei Dălălău
Published: December 2021

After the collapse of the communist regime in Eastern Europe, political parties were faced with the necessity of building political legitimacy. This research aims to find out how political myths were instrumentalized by political leaders during the presidential campaigns in order to gain popular support. In the first part, the article focuses on defining “myth” as a legitimizing political instrument. In the second part four political myths used in the early 1990s in Romania are being analyzed: the myth of the interwar period, the myth of original democracy, the myth of political reform and the providential man. The method used is political discourse and party platform analysis. The results suggest that, during the early 90s, different political groups tried to build their legitimacy using political myths instead of rational politics, which ended up in their failure to address the real issues of a changing society.
Developing a Theoretical Framework for Processing the Negative Information in Social Media
Authors: Jinwook Lee
Published: December 2021

The author explores the fundamental aspects of the rational decision-making process with the aim of understanding that negative information has the possibility to distort processing of political information. This article further develops a theoretical framework of the relationship between negative information on social media and its receiver. This article conducts an empirical analysis to partially prove this framework with the Twitter texts spread by the Internet Research Agency (IRA). This analysis indicates that: (1) tweets containing negative information had more interaction than tweets containing positive information; (2) tweets containing anger-inducing content had more interaction than tweets containing fearful content. These results suggest that negative emotion would have a more significant effect on this process, and different negative emotions can have a distinct effect on information processing.
Populist Government and Constitutional Democracy
Authors: Francesco Maria Scanni
Published: December 2021

Until the first decade of the 21th century, scholars and reporters have identified contemporary populism as an element of anti-systemic revolt; furthermore, they have also recognized an incompatibility between populist phenomenon and government function. However, some recent cases of populist parties in power seem to be able to put into crisis more than one certainty regarding the nature and scope of the populist phenomenon. This observation raises the questions of this work: what harmful effects does populism in government produce on liberal institutions, pluralism, and representation in constitutional democracies? Do these effects merely erode the liberal component, or do they extend to produce a degeneration of democracy as a whole? And finally: what are the risks for democracy? The article corroborates the diarchic theories of democracy and aims to demonstrate the lack of compatibility between the principles of liberal democracy and populist principles, which have a negative impact not only on the liberal component, but also on the quality of democracy in its entirety.
Early Stimulation Influences the Development of a Child between 0 and 3 Years of Age, in a Vulnerable Social Structure
Authors: Salum Tomé, PhD José Manuel
Published: December 2021

The presence of Special Educational Needs (SEN) in students inserted in the school system has been a theme in which many areas of knowledge have tried to investigate. The psychological theory suggests that newborns begin their development starting from a similar basis, and that the different types of stimulation and the brain’s ability to adapt to different episodes can be a determining factor in the development of skills and abilities. It is also considered that the family environment is the closest circle and with which the infants have the most contact in this period, therefore, the impact that the stimulation delivered by these people has on the adequate development of the cognitive, psychomotor and of a child’s language, could be related to the presence of SEN and its subsequent consequences in the pedagogical and psychopedagogical areas when they enter the school system.The present work aims to identify stimulation styles to favor the integral development of children up to three years of age.

The following work addresses trichotillomania and dermatillomania, both symptoms of the impulses control, in a 11 years old girl, who courses the sixth grade in a private elementary school and with a diagnose of first degree autism spectrum disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as a comorbidity. The objective was to reduce the frequency of tearing her hair and the skin imperfections in the school context throughout an intervention based on cognitive behavioral techniques. Within the used methodology to analyze the case an exhaustive evaluation of the patient has been performed using grade observation records, before and during the intervention period in order to systematize the whole process. The intervention techniques used where Token Economy and self-instruction. The results show a progressive improvement of the symptoms, reflected in the diminish of frequency of the behaviors registered that were conducted. In spite of the limited time for the intervention for these kinds of behaviors and the base line phase, it was possible to get to know the girl well and establish bonds with her, in spite of her condition, which can be noted in a better adaptation on her school context. This work seeks to favor the increase of research on this disorder since there is information related on the etiological factors, but it still is not enough, likewise, the related information on these disorders and its possible comorbidities is useful to continue with the advance on the treatments in this area.
