Enhancing Reading Comprehension through Metacognitive Reading Strategies and Peer Tutoring among Year 7 Students at a Home School Centre
Authors: Halim Nadiah , Mohd Arif Marina , Supramaniam Kaarthiyainy 
Published: April 2020

Many students in Malaysia lack proficiency in the English language, from difficulty understanding the meaning of the text to inferring the text. The use of explicit instruction to introduce reading comprehension skills are also rarely employed in the classroom. This study investigated how metacognitive reading strategies and peer tutoring improved Year 7 students’ reading comprehension at a home-school centre. A total of 20 Year 7 students took part in this research, whereby 10 students were placed in the controlled group and 10 students in the experimental group. Students in the experimental group were exposed to 12 weeks of training on metacognitive reading strategies and peer tutoring session. In addition, IGCSE reading comprehension, learning journals and a semi-structured interview were employed to collect data from the experimental group. A paired sample t-test was conducted to analyse the quantitative data of this study whereas document analysis and thematic analysis were used to analyse the qualitative data. The results obtained from this study indicated that metacognitive reading strategies have assisted students to use suitable techniques to comprehend the reading text and answer the reading comprehension questions. In addition, peer tutoring aids student by having their peers translate meaning of the texts in their native language, explain how to properly use the metacognitive reading skills as well as provide guidance and support in the classroom. Therefore, the findings of this study are significant as it suggests the difficulty of students to adapt to new strategies in a short time; hence, they should be exposed at primary level.
Keywords: Metacognitive reading strategies, peer tutoring, reading comprehension, home- school centres.
Reading Habit and Students’ Attitudes Towards Reading: A Study of Students in the Faculty of Education UiTM Puncak Alam
Authors: Baba Jamiah , Rostam Affendi Faiza 
Published: April 2020

Ability to read is crucial as reading affects intellectual and emotional growth of an individual. Those who read well have more chances in widening their mental horizons and better opportunities of success. Hence, this paper is an attempt to understand the reading habits and attitudes of the students in the Faculty of Education in Universiti Teknologi Mara, Puncak Alam. To collect the relevant data, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to 80 students. The questionnaire investigated the students’ reading habit, preferences, and attitudes towards reading. The research findings through quantitative analysis revealed that the students had an overall positive attitude towards academic and leisure reading as they read academically and leisurely daily or at least once a week. Apart from that, digital materials are considered better compared to printed texts when it comes to the students’ preference and its availability. Based on the findings, several recommendations were made to help improve students’ reading habits and attitudes. Having a national survey on Malaysian students’ reading habits is deemed necessary as it can document current trends (including the use of digital materials as a form of reading) and factors affecting students’ reading habits and attitudes so that more fruitful actions to improve students’ reading habits can be taken. Finally, teachers should also play a more significant role in motivating students to read as the findings yield that teachers are shown to have an impact on students’ reading habits and attitudes.

Effects of transrectal palpation with the fetal membrane slip technique for early pregnancy diagnosis on the proportion and type of associated pregnancy loss in dairy cattle
Authors: Romano Juan E. , Thompson James A. , Kraemer Duane C. , Forrest David W. 
Published: April 2020

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To assess the effect of transrectal palpation (TRP) performed with the fetal membrane slip (FMS) technique for early pregnancy diagnosis on the proportion and type of associated pregnancy losses (PLs) in dairy cattle.

ANIMALS
580 healthy pregnant cattle.

PROCEDURES
Data for artificially inseminated females with 1 or 2 viable embryos detected by transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) at approximately 30 days of gestation were retrospectively assessed. Cattle were assigned to 1 of 2 groups on the basis of whether they did or did not undergo TRP once between 34 and 41 days of gestation (palpation and control group, respectively). At approximately 45 and 60 days of gestation, all cattle were reevaluated by TRUS; PL was categorized as type I (FMS detectable by TRP and TRUS-confirmed evidence of embryo or fetus degeneration and a functional corpus luteum) or type II (FMS undetectable by TRP and no TRUS-confirmed evidence of an embryo or fetus or of a functional corpus luteum).

RESULTS
Of the 580 healthy pregnant cattle, 271 underwent TRP and 309 did not. In the palpation and control groups, PL occurred in 40 (14.8%) and 47 (15.2%) cattle, respectively. Among the palpation group's PLs, 17 (43%) were type I and 23 (58%) were type II. Among the control group's PLs, 27 (57%) were type I and 20 (43%) were type II. The prevalance and type of PL did not differ between groups.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
TRP with the FMS technique for early pregnancy diagnosis did not increase the prevalence of PL in dairy cattle or alert the proportion of type I versus type II PL.
Deformations and stability of granular soils: Classical triaxial tests and numerical results from an incremental model
Authors: Sławińska-Budzich Justyna , Mierczyński Jacek 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
This article presents a modified incremental model describing pre-failure deformations of granular soils under classical triaxial conditions. The original shape of equations has been proposed by Sawicki and Świdziński [40, 41]. A new form of equations that are consistent with the proposed definitions of deviatoric loading and unloading is suggested. Triaxial tests necessary for calibrating the proposed model have been performed. The modified model is used to simulate the deformations and stability of sand for every pre-failure loading path and makes it possible to describe the behaviour of granular soil under both drained and undrained conditions.
A comparison of experimental and numerical results is presented. All investigations were performed in a classical tri-axial apparatus.
Analysis of the Collapse Gradient of Deep Water Horizontal Wellbore and the Effects of Mud Chemical Activity and Variation in Water Depth
Authors: Dosunmu Adewale , Nwonodi Roland I. , Ekeinde Evelyn 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Wellbore collapse is an instability-event that occurs at low mud density and leads to unfavorable economic project, reaching billions of US dollars. Thus, it is important to accurately determine its value, especially in deepwater horizontal wellbores. The main reasons for nontrivial problems with such wellbores are evident: the shale encountered are anisotropic in nature and possess planes of weakness; they react with water-based mud, generate osmotic stresses, swell, and fall unto the wellbore bottom, thereby increasing the non-productive time. To this end, salts are added to reduce the collapse tendency, but it is not currently known what amount of salt addition maintains stability, and does not lead to wellbore fracture; in deepwater, the current trend in global warming means there is a future concern to the industry. As the climate temperature increases, more ice melts from the polar region, the seawater expands and the sea level rises. How to incorporate the corresponding effect on collapse gradient is scarcely known. This study captures the major concerns stated above into wellbore stability analysis. Following the classical approach for geomechanical analysis, Mogi-Coulomb criterion was combined with a constitutive stress equation comprising contributions from mechanical and osmotic potentials of mud and shale. A sophisticated industry model was used to consider the deepwater effect. The results show significant reduction in collapse gradient as the water depth increases, also, larger difference between the mud and shale chemical activities represents higher complexities in the wellbore. In addition, the reduction in the chemical activities of mud limited to 37.5% of the initial value can be practically safe.

Published: April 2020

The entire human population all over the globe is currently facing appalling conditions due tothe spread of infection from COVID-19 (corona virus disease-2019). In the last few monthsenormous amount of studies have been continuously trying to target several potential drugsites to identify a novel therapeutic target. Spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndromecoronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is also being targeted by several scientific groups as a noveldrug target. The spike glycoprotein protein is present on the surface of the virion and binds tothe human angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (hACE2) membrane receptor thereby promotingits fusion to the host cell membrane. The binding and internalization of the virus is a crucialstep in the process of infection and hence any molecule that can inhibit this, certainly holds asignificant therapeutic value. We have identified AP-NP (2-(2-amino-5-(naphthalen-2-yl)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenol) and AP-4-Me-Ph (2-(2-amino-5-(p-tolyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenol)from a group of diaryl pyrimidine derivatives which appear to bind at the interface ofhACE2-SARS-CoV-2S complex (human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 and spikeglycoprotein complex) with a low binding energy (<-8 Kcal/mol). In this in-silico study wealso found that AP-NP interacts with S1 domain of C-terminal part of SARS-CoV-2Showever AP-4-Me-Ph was found to interact with S2 domain of SARS-CoV-2S. The resultsuggested that AP-NP and AP-4-Me-Ph have potential to inhibit the interaction betweenspike protein and hACE2 receptor also AP-4-Me-Ph might be prevent internalization of thevirion within the host. Further in vitro and in vivo study will strengthen these drug candidatesagainst the COVID-19.
Entre bande dessinée et jeu vidéo: Le Secret de la Licorne d’Hergé
Authors: Barahouie Haniyeh 
Published: April 2020

À un cadre d’analyse qui prendrait en compte une analyse des produits dérivés liés aux Aventures de Tintin, l’autrice préfère prendre en compte la transmédialité de l’œuvre, au moins depuis la sortie du film et du jeu vidéo Les aventures de Tintin : Le secret de la Licorne. Il s’agit d’un cas de transmédialité avec œuvre-source et certains enjeux propres à l’adaptation sont pris en compte, d’autant que l’adaptation d’œuvres canoniques comme celle-ci a tendance à prendre en considération un certain niveau de fidélité à cause des attentes du public. Ainsi, le jeu vidéo, dans la lignée du film de Spielberg, propose une ligne claire adaptée. Par ailleurs, le jeu, conçu dans la plus grande partie de ces modules comme une plateforme de défilement horizontal, n’est pas sans rappeler l’horizontalité des bandes dans les pages des Aventures de Tintin. Enfin, l’autrice montre comment l’utilisation des cinématiques dans le jeu vidéo permet notamment de situer le jeu dans le contexte d’une franchise transmédiale.

Artikkelissani käsittelen yhteisöllisyyden poetiikkaa, sen rakentumista ja purkaantumista kollektiivisen kerronnan avulla Kristina Carlsonin historiallisessa romaanissa Herra Darwinin puutarhuri. Väitän, että kertomuksen tutkimuksen piirissä kehitellyt määritelmät, jotka pohjaavat joko kollektiiviseen subjektiviteettiin tai lingvistisiin ehtoihin, kuten monikon ensimmäiseen persoonaan, osoittautuvat liian kapeiksi Carlsonin romaanin tulkintaan. Sen sijaan kollektiivista kerrontaa tulisi ymmärtää moninaisena, eri kerronnallisia ja kielellisiä keinoja yhdistelevänä kudelmana.
Yhteisöllisyyden poetiikkaa analysoidessani otan huomioon Herra Darwinin puutarhurissa kollektiivisuutta heijastelevat rakenteet. Näitä ovat Carlsonin teoksessa etenkin juoru ja toistuvat viittaukset lintuihin. Sovellan juorun analyysiin Patricia Meyer Spacksin määritelmiä juorusta sosiaalisia, moraalisia ja esteettisiä merkityksiä kantavana diskurssina. Tarkastelen, kuinka juoru kommentoi yhteisön jakamia arvoja. Osoitan romaanissa ilmenevän juorun keskeiseksi piirteiksi moraalisen kommentoinnin lisäksi metakielisyyden: juorussa ilmenevä kielellinen ja esteettinen leikittely näyttäytyy tulkinnassani juorun muita funktioita tärkeämpänä. Tulkitsen toistuvia lintu-viittauksia, kuten lintujen ääntelyn translitterointia, ensisijaisesti metafiktiivisinä, teoksen rakentumista kommentoivina välineinä, joiden avulla teos tarjoaa suuntaa lukijan huomion entistä tiukemmin yhteisöllisyyden – ja oikeastaan koko romaanin – kielellisiin mekanismeihin.

Published: April 2020

KurzfassungDurch die Nutzung von virtuellen Planungsmethoden und Tools sind heute bereits in frühen Phasen der Fahrzeugentwicklung erste Planstände der Serienmontageabläufe verfügbar. Dies ermöglicht es, für die Prototypenmontage vergleichbare Assistenz-Systeme zu nutzen, wie sie für die Serienproduktion bereits verbreitet sind, um diese Montageabläufe frühzeitig zu erproben. Da während der Entwicklung jedoch mit unreifen Prozessen und kontinuierlichen Änderungen gearbeitet werden muss, sollten diese Systeme auch mit auftretenden Problemen umgehen können. Für diesen Zweck wurde ein Problemmeldeprozess entwickelt und in ein Assistenz-System integriert, der den effizienten Wissenstransfer aus der Prototypenproduktion in der Planung und Entwicklung und damit letztendlich in die Serie gewährleistet.

Published: April 2020

Higher learning institutions play an important role in producing future talents as it does not only equip the students with knowledge but also inculcates value-added skills such as leadership skill. The skills are needed to prepare themselves for the overcoming challenge after graduated. The involvement as a Student Representative Committee (SRC) is a good starting point for producing future leader as students get involved in various activities and decision-making process. The SRC is responsible for representing the voice of students community, especially related to the academic, welfare and co-curricular activities. Thus, the right selection of the SRC candidates is crucial as it will reflect universities’ good governance. This study wishes to gather the perceptions of students community towards SRC leadership criteria and look into the dominant criteria through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The study was conducted at Universiti Kuala Lumpur. The results revealed that the students community hope for the SRC members who have leadership talents such as good in Communication, Well-organised, Passionate, Creative, Commitment, Team-player and Visionary. By using AHP, Commitment, Passionate and Well-organised contributed to the highest weightage that indicated such criteria are important to be considered in the SRC selection process.
