Teacher Evaluation for Growth and Accountability: Under What Conditions Does It Improve Student Outcomes?
Authors: LIEBOWITZ DAVID D.
Published: December 2022

Most teacher evaluation policies in the United States seek to improve student outcomes by providing developmental supports to grow teachers’ skills and by imposing accountability pressures to increase their effort. In this research synthesis and analytic essay, David D. Liebowitz argues that proper policy design has been understood as successfully balancing the accountability and growth dimensions of teacher evaluation. He details six conditions that determine whether joint-aim teacher evaluation policies will improve student outcomes and assesses the extent to which they are likely to be met given the causal evidence from the education, economics, social psychology, and management research literatures. The article concludes with recommendations to more clearly delineate the accountability and growth aims of teacher evaluation.
Climate factor and banks’ resilience: Evidence from US banks
Authors: Apergis Iraklis , Apergis Nicholas
Published: December 2022

This study explores how the climate factor impacts the resilience of the US banking system. Using an extended sample of banks, spanning the period 2000-2020, the findings document a negative effect of this climate factor on banks’ resilience. They also highlight the role of climate risk over the post-global financial crisis period. The results could have a substantial value as climate conditions can serve as an early warning system for policymakers and regulators in detecting signs of weakness, calling for immediate actions to mitigate potential vulnerabilities of banks.

To study the processes of plant development, it is often necessary to find out in which tissues and cells the gene is expressed. To do this, genetic constructs with promoters and fluorescence reporters are used.
The aim of our work is to create a construct for the simultaneous analysis of the activity of three promoters: auxin-responsive DR5 promoter, cytokinin sensor TCS, and any other promoter necessary for research purposes. We have selected fluorescent proteins with different spectral characteristics that make it easy to distinguish them from each other: red (mCherry), blue (TagBFP), green (mNeonGreen). Hygromycin B resistance gene we use to select transgenic plants. For cloning, we used the MoClo vector system. So far, we have created 5 plasmids containing hygromycin resistance gene, mCherry, mTagBFP, and DR5 and TCS promoters. The next step is to create a single vector that will contain all components.

Natural GMOs in the genus Nicotiana L.
Authors: Khafizova Galina V. , Matveeva Tatiana V.
Published: December 2022

Soil bacteria Agrobacterium are able to transfer fragments of their plasmids, so-called T-DNA, into plants. T-DNA integrated into plants genome is called cellular T-DNA (cT-DNA) [1]. Plants transformed in nature are considered natural genetically modified organisms (nGMOs). For the first time, nGMOs were described within the genus Nicotiana. To date, more than 50 nGM species are known [2, 3], among which nGMO in the genus Nicotiana are the most well studied. Within this genus 3 subgenera are distinguished, those are Tabacum, Petunioides, and Rustica. CT-DNAs in natural genetically modified representatives of the subgenus Tabacum are studied in detail [4, 5]. We know how many cT-DNA those species carry as well as the composition of the cT-DNA, which allows us to propose scenarios for the acquisition of cT-DNA by these species during their evolution. Species N. noctiflora and N. glauca belong to the subgenus Petunioides and they are not so well studied. We sequenced and assembled the genomes of N. noctiflora and N. glauca, to analyze their cT-DNAs. In the N. glauca genome we confirmed the presence of one cT-DNA, gT, discovered in 1983, and showed no other inserts. In the genome of N. noctiflora 2 cT-DNAs of different composition were found, NnT-DNA1 and NnT-DNA2. The data suggest a single agrotransformation act in the evolution of the species N. glauca, while the species N. noctiflora was transformed several times. Further study of cT-DNA in Nicotiana representatives belonging to different evolutionary branches of the genus will help to clarify the evolutionary history of the genus Nicotiana. In addition, the identification of changes that have occurred in the cT-DNA since its entry into the plant genome will help to elucidate the processes that occur with transgenes in plant genomes over long time intervals.

Preeclampsia is a multisystem pregnancy disorder that occurs after 20 weeks of gestation, leading to e.g. preterm labor. It is characterized by hypertension, proteinuria, edema, and multiple organ dysfunction. Up to 8% of pregnancies are complicated by preeclampsia, which is one of the most serious causes of maternal and perinatal mortality [1]. For research of pregnancy disorders and development of therapy for it, a mouse model can be used due of the fact that pregnancy development in mice, especially at early stages, is somewhat similar to human and is well-studied, in particular, in terms of molecular biology [2]. One of the possible options for creating mouse models of preeclampsia is considered to be a mutation in the COMT gene encoding сatechol-O-methyltransferase [3]. This enzyme plays an important role in the catecholamines conversion and it also catalyzes the O-methylation of hydroxyestradiol producing methoxyestradiol. COMT gene knockout results in a phenotype similar to preeclampsia with elevated blood pressure and proteinuria [3]. The previous model was obtained through classic transgenesis methods with Neomycin cassette insertion in the COMT locus potentially influencing the results of the experiments. The development of the genome editing systems and its active utilization at Saint Petersburg State University made it possible to obtain a COMT-KO mouse line using CRISPR/Cas9 technology which had not been done in Russia before. This model will allow to effectively study the development of preeclampsia and ways to prevent and treat it.

Authors: Yurkova Yulia P. , Merabishvili Vakhtang M.
Published: December 2022

Annotation. Tobacco smoke is one of the dangerous exogenous factors contributing to the emergence of chronic noncommunicable diseases and, first of all, malignant tumors.
Purpose. On the basis of the hospital cancer registry created at the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology (N.N. Petrov NMRC of Oncology), to analyze the differences in the specific weights of the risk of exposure to the smoking factor on cancer patients treated in the hospital with various oncopathologies. At the population level, to consider the dynamics of morbidity and mortality of the population of Russia, the North-Western Federal District (NWFD) and St. Petersburg of lung cancer patients, taking into account the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The material of the study is the created database (DB) of the hospital and population cancer registry, working according to international standards and statistical reference books of the P.A. Herzen Moscow Research Institute of Oncology (P.A. Herzen Institute of Oncology) and the N.N. Petrov NMRC of Oncology, questioning of patients in the hospital.
Results. Of the 47,356 patients treated at the center, 9201 or 19.4% abused smoking. The highest percentage of smokers was found among patients with laryngeal cancer (C32) 66.67%, esophageal cancer (C15) 53.20% and lung cancer (C33,34) 51.08. The lowest proportion of smokers among patients diagnosed with uterine body cancer (C54) 8.8% and breast (C50) 10.1%. It was found that 52.01% of smokers smoked more than half, up to one pack of cigarettes a day.
Conclusions. Thus, the study proved a direct link between the smoking factor and the development of malignant tumors. It was found that more than 50% of patients with lung cancer are smokers. The proportion of smoking patients for other nosologies is significantly less, with the exception of laryngeal (C32) and esophageal (C15). We also noted an increase in the number of women who smoke both in the whole group of patients and in the group of patients diagnosed with lung cancer.
Estimation of Damage Scenarios in Mexico City Caused by Nearby Crustal Earthquakes
Authors: Suárez Gerardo , Jaimes Miguel A.
Published: December 2022

Mexico City has sustained severe damage from earthquakes located in the subduction zone and within the subducted Cocos plate. The city lies in the trans-Mexican volcanic belt (TMVB). Earthquakes in the TMVB are relatively infrequent but have reached Mw>6. A recent Mw 6.9 crustal earthquake occurred in 1912, 80 km from Mexico City. Damage scenarios are estimated for two hypothetical crustal earthquakes located 40 and 80 km from the city. The seismic sources represent hazard-critical earthquakes and are based on historical seismicity and on the geological record. The probability distribution of ground acceleration is determined by ground-motion models (GMMs) from similar tectonic regions. Site effects are included to account for the geotechnical zonation of the city, and vulnerability curves are calculated for residential buildings in the cadastral record of Mexico City. The results show that an earthquake near the 1912 earthquake would produce accelerations of 37 and 148  cm/s2 on firm ground and in the lake region, respectively. In this scenario, damage is concentrated in buildings 1-2 stories high located near the transition zone. The earthquake located ∼40 km from Mexico City shows accelerations of 79 and 318  cm/s2 on firm ground and in the lake region, respectively. This scenario concentrated potential damage in buildings 1-2 stories high and broadly distributed in the region underlain by soft clays. Under both scenarios, no damage is expected in buildings higher than ∼11 stories. A deterministic approach using two potential seismic sources instead of a probabilistic seismic hazard model is used because of the lack of background seismicity and the unknown recurrence times of events in the TMVB. The results show very different damage patterns for crustal earthquakes. The two scenarios presented here may be useful for decision makers and insurance companies to estimate physical damage and to implement mitigation programs.
Active Natural Polymer Nanoyarns

Published: December 2022

With the increasing concern about sustainability, the use of natural materials is being heavily studied. Natural polymers are a sustainable option and have the ability to be used for nanofiber applications. They are also useful for biological sensors since they are not toxic. This study focused on the production of nanofiber yarns created through a modified electrospinning set-up. Natural polymer with PEO as a carrier polymer solutions were processed into nanoyarns and characterized through SEM and FTIR. One biopolymer, carboxymethylcellulose has a structure that allows it to be easily functionalized and so was the focus of further study for a potential sensor application. Three different colorimetric dyes were added and three different spinning methods were used to create nanofibers for use as a model pH sensing system. Sensing ability of the CMC/PEO fibers was confirmed in the pH range of each dye through visual analysis. SEM imaging determined that for the majority of biopolymer systems, the nanofiber diameter was not different for electrospinning and nanoyarn spinning. The exception is sodium alginate and PEO, chitosan and PEO, and SPI and PEO which had significantly larger nanofiber diameter for the nanoyarn set-up than the electrospinning. The nanofiber diameter was not correlated to the diameter of the nanoyarn.

Published: December 2022

En los últimos 10 años y hasta 2019, el volumen del transporte aéreo de mercancías había mantenido una tendencia creciente en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Las medidas sanitarias adoptadas por los países de la región por cuenta del COVID-19 han impactado directamente en la actividad económica y en el sector transporte aéreo y aeropuertos de forma muy severa. Se ha observado, en muchos casos, una interrupción prolongada u oferta muy limitada de frecuencias de vuelos, con la consiguiente reducción de los volúmenes de transporte de pasajeros y de carga. La reducción en la capacidad de transporte en la bodega de aeronaves de pasajeros, y la crisis económica han afectado negativamente las importaciones y exportaciones de los países de ALC. Sin embargo, los operadores consultados perciben como contrapartida un crecimiento auspicioso en segmentos de carga no tan preponderantes en el pasado farmacéuticos, material médico y e-commerce que están induciendo la implementación de nuevas estrategias de servicio en las aerolíneas de carga y la redefinición de las funciones de los centros de carga del esquema aeroportuario de la región.

Fossil fuels are used throughout the world as the main sources of energy, they are present in nature thanks to the accumulation of biomass over millions of years. Although many countries depend largely on exports of oil and its derivatives to maintain their economy, fossil fuels have caused pollution to the environment due to their extraction from the subsoil, causing harmful effects on the human being and the environment as a result of the operations related to their exploitation. This bibliographic review article exposes a series of theoretical and conceptual considerations about the effects of the exploration, exploitation, and production of fossil fuels such as oil and gas, focusing on the negative effects that these activities cause on natural resources in Colombia. and Latin America, in addition to considering different measures to prevent and mitigate the impacts caused.

El sistema consta de una unidad de alimentación (tolva y tornillo), un reactor autotérmico de lecho fluidizado y acondicionamiento de gases (ciclón y enfriamiento). En el reactor se evaluaron 2 catalizadores de bajo costo: un mineral natural (dolomita) y residuo de pirólisis comparados con un sólido inerte (arena). Los catalizadores y la biomasa fueron caracterizados por diferentes técnicas: ICP, BET, TGA, CHONS, entre otras. En la optimización del proceso se estudiaron diferentes parámetros: tamaño de partícula de biomasa, flujo másico de alimentación, agentes gasificante y perfiles de temperatura. Los ensayos mostraron un óptimo funcionamiento con un tamaño de biomasa en el rango de 0.50-0.85 mm, un flujo másico de alimentación de 0.840 kg/h y una relación de equivalencia entre mezcla de agentes gasificantes (aire y/o vapor de agua) y alimentación de 0.35-0.45 con temperaturas de equilibrio de 650 y 750ºC, respectivamente. Los catalizadores evaluados tuvieron una reducción de alquitrán entre 10-45% comparado con el inerte y valores superiores en la relación H2:CO y LHV. Los resultados mostraron que el sistema de gasificación autotérmico a escala banco construido, permite la transformación de la biomasa utilizando catalizadores de bajo/nulo costo, lo que lo hace atractivo desde el punto de vista ambiental y económico.

Published: December 2022

This work suggests a dual three-phase Space Vector Modulation (SVM) for the Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter (DCMI) to ensure a robust control of Dual Star Induction Motor (DSIM). The principal scheme is investigated to apply the same control of the six-phase multilevel inverter by two three-phase multilevel inverter to drive the DSIM. The use of classic SVM control offers significant simplifications for controlling a six phase five levels inverter. The proposed control approach employs according to the hybridization of various conversion functions to establish the modulation strategy for each voltage vector and its placement in the plane of voltage modulation in distinctly and easy manner. A numerical simulation under MATLAB/Simulink is carried out to evaluate the Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC) of DSIM drive fed by multilevel inverters. The simulation outcomes clearly reveal good performance of the designed control strategy in terms of THD and control efficiency.

The combination of innovative advance and fluctuating client needs are paving the way to continuous changes in the manufacturing environments. As a result, mechanical enterprises aim for the honing of their processes by means of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). Their holy grail is connecting the shop floor systems to the high business layer systems. Based on our previous literature review on the CIM architectures available in the literature, we have identified six major aspects and detected the limitations of the existing appeals. We attempted to get the better of these fall backs and to be as exhaustive as to cover all 6 aspects through the BLAEM Architecture (Bi-Level Architecture for efficient Manufacturing). Through this paper, we will be presenting an execution of the BLAEM by means of a real case study.
On the question of the relationship between entrepreneurial and professional activity
Authors: Balashova E. G.
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the issues of qualification of various types of economic activity. An attempt is made to analyze the ratio of entrepreneurial and professional activities, and the criteria of professional activity are highlighted. The author comes to the conclusion that there is an interpretation of the concept of professional activity in the broad and narrow sense of the word. The author shares the conclusion that professional activity is carried out by an individual who has special knowledge, qualifications obtained either in the course of training, or formed as a result of gaining experience in the professional field. This person can carry out their professional duties, both within the framework of an employment contract, and independently under a civil law contract, engaging in private practice. Professional activity may or may not be entrepreneurial in nature. At the same time, entrepreneurial activity may not be professional in terms of the availability of special knowledge and qualifications. Legal regulation of both professional and business activities can be carried out by various methods, including using elements of self-regulation and without them, which does not allow its features to be used to distinguish between these types of activities. The article also considers the features of the concept of entrepreneurial activity, distinguishing this type of activity from other economic activities.

Published: December 2022

Modern hydraulic systems are subject to stringent noise and vibration requirements. In the existing scope of work a lot of attention is paid to a variety of factors, often without taking into account their mutual influence. In General, they can be divided into schematic design, system and principle. Currently, the development of science and technology is at a level where further improvement of the acoustic quality of individual elements and systems as a whole is possible in the study of emerging processes at the intersection of Sciences. In this regard, the paper considers the possibility of modeling wave processes in hydraulic control systems with the subsequent obtaining of acoustic characteristics, which is a joint use of the mathematical apparatus of the control theory and methods of acoustics. The simhydraulics Matlab software package is considered as one of the most suitable means of solving the tasks. Along with mathematical models of control system elements, the paper proposes acoustic models of elements that are taken into account when modeling transients in the system. Based on the results obtained, additional criteria for assessing the quality of management systems are proposed.
ON USING BENCH MEASURING PIPELINES AS ACOUSTIC LOADS OF PRESSURE PULSATION PROBES
Authors: Bystrof Nikolay , Gimadiev Asgat
Published: December 2022

When adjusting the gas turbine engine for operating parameters, taking into account pressure pulsations in the gas generator path, acoustic probes are used with the sensor moving out of the high temperature zone. The input waveguide included in the probe is an acoustically resonating element that significantly distorts the measurement result. Among the various corrective elements for acoustic probes, in practice, a special role is given to non-reflective loads in the form of long lines. During bench tests, it is often advisable for manufacturers to use structures made up of durite hoses with short sections of metal pipelines in addition to long lines. The attached material shows the test results of a model probe with several types of such agreed loads. The possibility of such a solution to increase the accuracy of measuring pressure pulsations in conditions of increased temperatures is shown.

Published: December 2022

The technological equipment geometry control has a significant impact on the overall quality and performance of the product in many manufacturing processes such as multi-position assembly and stamping as well as on productivity and production costs. One of the most promising means of technology equipment geometry control in the digital economy condition is a laser tracker. The robotic incremental sheet forming process assumes the necessary flexibility and profitability due to a very flexible tool chain. In this case, the trajectory of the universal tool is set using a processing program determined by the product geometry. The technological equipment geometry control of the robotic complex for incremental sheet forming was carried out in 2 stages. At the first stage, the measurements were carried out manually in the absolute range measuring system mode. At the second stage, a dynamic measurement of the blank plane displacement was carried out automatically in the interferometer mode during forming process. It was shown that the largest slipway deviation more than 1 mm and it occurs in the direction of the main application of force, i.e. in the product manufacture depth. This value can have a serious impact on the of manufacturing parts geometry accuracy. Based on the measurement results, it can be concluded that it is necessary to increase the rigidity of the frame, either by adding additional fasteners, or by using more rigid materials of its construction.

Published: December 2022

The influence of cuts depth on residual stresses distribution and an endurance limit under bending of hollow cylindrical specimens made of steel 20 with external diameter 50 mm and interior diameter 40 mm after outstripping superficial plastic deforming by roller strengthening of two regimes has been examined. Its been stated that the value of compressive residual stresses in a dangerous section of specimens decreases on cuts depth increase. As a result, an endurance limit increment of hardened specimens with cuts diminishes. In order to preserve the effect of hardening by increasing the endurance limit under outstripping superficial plastic deforming with an increase in a cuts depth, it is necessary to increase the thickness of a smooth part with compressive residual stresses layer. Its been shown that in order to estimate the increase in the endurance limit of hardened specimens, one should use not residual stresses at the bottom of a cut, but average integral residual stresses through the parts dangerous section surface layer thickness that equal a critical depth of a non-propagating fatigue crack.

Görüşmeye katılan her iki gruptaki öğrencilerin çoğunluğunun tümdengelim yöntemini tercih ettiği görülürken öğrencilerin dilbilgisi konusunun detaylı anlatılması ve terimlere çok yer verilmesi gibi hususlarda metot tercihleri ile farklılaşan yaklaşımlarının olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Çalışmada her iki metotta gerek eğitimcilerin gerekse öğrencilerin olumlu ve olumsuz bulduğu hususlar olduğu görüldüğünden dolayı olumlu bulunan hususların göz önünde bulundurulduğu karma bir metodun izlenmesinin daha faydalı olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır.
Sovereign debt in a post-war period: endogenous opportunities and exogenous challenges for Ukraine
Authors: Hryhoriev Hennadiy
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study is to present possible scenarios for assessing the levels of Ukraine’s sovereign debt burden in the context of the cumulative effect of Ukraine’s pre-war and post-war debt accumulation to avoid sovereign debt overload or even sovereign default and achieve debt relief.The methodology of the article is based on the theory of international finance using the scientific method of system dynamics as an applied method of analysis. The main purpose of the article was to find the way out of the concession debt trap, but the Russian military aggression against Ukraine in February 2022 significantly changed the purpose of the analysis. As a result, as far as possible, an element of military economics was added to the article.The dynamic interpretation of the research problem is formulated as: “What are the possible dynamics of falling into a sovereign debt trap and, ultimately, into political dependence through external infrastructure financing before and after the war, and how can such a trap be avoided?” It is necessary to recognize such a trap in advance, because, fortunately, Ukraine has not yet fully got there.The results of the study are important in the application of the national debt policy model.

El derecho de autor y su disponibilidad mortis causa. A propósito de problemas prácticos que impiden su correcta gestión
Authors: Colmenares Mantilla Jorge Alberto , Morales Neira Mónica Lizet
Published: December 2022

La regulación del fenómeno sucesorio es sin duda una de las grandes conquistas alcanzadas por la scientia iuris, debido a que define el destino de las relaciones jurídicas transmisibles de un ser humano al momento de su muerte. Cuando muere un autor de una obra protegida, la transmisión de sus derechos sigue las reglas generales del derecho de sucesiones. Sin embargo, dada la estructura bidimensional de los derechos de autor, que comprende derechos personales fundamentales y otros patrimoniales, surgen ciertas inquietudes sobre el rol de los herederos y el ejercicio efectivo de sus intereses, así como inconvenientes prácticos que pueden afectar intereses colectivos como el acceso efectivo al conocimiento y a la cultura. En el derecho romano, los negocios por causa de muerte, y en particular el testamento, acto jurídico complejo, ofrecen al causante la posibilidad de disponer a cabalidad de todos sus derechos. Esta experiencia jurídica, fundamental en la formación del ordenamiento colombiano, reivindica el valor de la capacidad dispositiva por causa de muerte, que frente al derecho de autor constituye una alternativa concreta para asignar debidamente los derechos que recaen sobre la obra, superando así problemas como la incertidumbre en torno a los derechos que de ella se desprenden, o su eventual orfandad.

Published: December 2022

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is known to be a safe and feasible method in the treatment of hiatal hernias. However, a recurrence rate of 42% has been reported. Using mesh repair in patients undergoing Nissen fundoplication has shown fewer recurrence rates than the primary suture, even though there have been few complications reported. Some complications that may occur with mesh placement are; severe fibrosis, esophageal strictures, esophageal perforations, mesh migration to the upper gastrointestinal tract, and mesh erosion in the intestinal wall, etc. In this report, the migration of the leathery esophagus developed after about 11 years was presented. In such cases, patients may have several surgical options. Among these options, the mesh was completely removed endoscopically. No further surgery was required. In conclusion, it is recommended to use a very selective mesh in the laparoscopic repair of the hiatal hernias, considering the surgeon's experience, hiatus anatomy, and patient's symptoms.
Convenção n.º 174 da OIT e os acidentes ampliados no Brasil
Authors: López-Aliaga Márcia Kamei , Padilha Norma Sueli , Lima Leivas Luciano
Published: December 2022

A maior preocupação com questões ambientais partir da década de 1970 e a ocorrência de acidentes industriais de grandes proporções, levaram a Organização Internacional do Trabalho à elaboração Convenção n. 174, que trata dos acidentes industriais ampliados. O Brasil promulgou a Convenção n. 174 pelo Decreto nº 4.085, de 15 de janeiro de 2002. Contudo, mesmo após a ocorrência das tragédias de Mariana e Brumadinho, o país segue sem regulação adequada para a questão dos acidentes ampliados, inexistindo uma política nacional que dê a coesão necessária para tratar de problema que exige a atenção transdisciplinar. A fragmentação no tratamento da matéria, compromete o direito ao meio ambiente equilibrado e essencial à sadia qualidade de vida, na forma preconizada no art. 225 da Constituição Federal.
Compreendendo a tolerância ocidental sobre a violação dos direitos humanos no Afeganistão: falta de solidariedade ou interesse econômico?
Authors: Castilho Ricardo dos Santos , Moro Maitê Cecilia Fabbri , Carvalho Diógenes Faria de
Published: December 2022

A partir do princípio do "non cliquet", questiona-se o real interesse dos norte-americanos e europeus nas suas ações no Afeganistão. Questiona-se, portanto, a real intenção do ocidente em dispor de ajuda humanitária aos povos sob o domínio do Talibã, ao passo que o apoio enviado tem sido somente de agentes armados, e nenhuma ajuda humanitária propriamente dita. Ademais, a abordagem considera as iniciativas levadas a cabo pelos povos do Ocidente, com ênfase a "políticas de muros" que tem dificultado o acesso dos refugiados, por meio de burocracias, que nos mais das vezes tornam impossível a entrada deles ao território nacional.

Authors: Guo Siyi
Published: December 2022

The primary school stage is an important period to cultivate language development and basic language ability. Although there are many studies on the reading and writing skills of hearing children, very little research has been conducted on these skills of hearing-impaired children. This study focuses on analysing the current situation and the development characteristics of hearing-impaired children in China. With a sample of 114 hearing-impaired children and a total of 640 hearing children, who were enrolled in the elementary school attached to Hebei Normal University, this study conducted a survey, test and interview. The collected data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and content analysis. The study concluded that the language skills of hearing-impaired children remained at a low level and may not even improve with the rise in grades. Regarding the academic skills of hearing-impaired children, individual differences between hearing-impaired children are large and the academic skills of hearing-impaired children tend to be delayed compared to hearing children.
