Language exposure and subject familiarity as correlates of senior secondary school students’ achievement in narrative writing
Authors: Oladotun Opeoluwa Olagbaju  , Nurudeen Oluwaseun Jimoh  
Published: September 2020

Narrative writing is often an option in English composition examination, especially in WAEC/NECO conducted English language Paper 1. Performance in essay writing has been found to determine the overall success in English language. Efforts to improve students’ performance in the subject have largely focused on instructional strategies without much attention to process-based variables such as language exposure and subject familiarity that can influence learning outcomes in ESL classrooms. Despite the contributions of these studies to pedagogical practices in ESL classroom, students’ achievement in English composition has not improved significantly. However, process-related variables such as quality and volume of exposure to the target language and subject familiarity have been found to predict learning outcomes in a second/foreign language classroom. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between language exposure and subject familiarity on achievement in narrative essay. The study tested three null hypotheses and a total of 350 participants were randomly selected from four senior secondary schools in Ibadan North Local Government Area, Nigeria. Data was collected using two research instruments and the results showed a positive non-significant relationship between the independent variables and students’ achievement in narrative essay. Also, there were no composite and relative contributions of language exposure and subject familiarity to students’ achievement in expository essay.

Authors: Kovac Tanja 
Published: September 2020

The purpose of this research was to identify opportunities for Event Managers to gain certification and recognition for their knowledge, skills and competences. The results of the research can represent a base for developing a National Qualifications Standard of Event Management, and a reference to develop the European Qualification Framework (INVENT 2017-1-UK01-KA202, 2018). The aim of this research was to determine an effective view of Event Management and the Event Manager’s career path for future reference. The survey showed some gaps in formal and informal educational programs of Event Management in Slovenia, and some suggestions to improve the quality of that field and how to train the teachers who train Event Managers follow. To evaluate the hypothesis, a model for assessing education programs of event management has been developed, using the computer program Dexi. This instrument serves to verify the presence or absence of skills from the National Qualification Standard. The system allows you to check if the quality of the education program is appropriate, and what needs to be done to improve the quality.

Published: September 2020

The study was done to describe the gender sensitive teaching at Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University (DHVTSU) as a basis for the enhancement of the Gender and Development Program. Descriptive research was employed. The Deans, faculty members, and students of the university answered the questionnaire and interview as guided by various GAD Handbooks. Gender sensitive teaching is commonly noted as equality. Moreover, gender sensitive teaching was fully applied and fully observed in the areas of curriculum, learning objectives, learning content, learning experiences, textual materials, and learning assessment. However, issues on integration and proper application of gender sensitive teaching was raised among technical, technology, sciences, and mathematical courses With such conditions, continuous monitoring and trainings should be done so that the full application and full observance of gender sensitive teaching can be sustained. Also, a creation of module on how to concretely become gender neuter in all aspects of the educative process should be initiated.
Radio and Television Programs for National Minorities of the Border Multicultural Region (on the example of Transcarpathia, 1930-1991)
Authors: Tolochko Nataliia 
Published: September 2020

The article deals with the acute problems of the origin and development of radio and television programs for national minorities within the border region of Ukraine – Transcarpathia (in pre-Soviet and Soviet periods). The problem under consideration is relevant because of the fact that since the nineteenth century seven states and state entities have changed the territory of Transcarpathia. As representatives of different nationalities, most numerous being Hungarians, Romanians, Russians, Roma, Slovaks, Germans have long lived at this territory, attention has been paid to changing the ethnic picture over the years. The emergence and development of media for national minorities in the pre-Soviet and Soviet periods depended on the political order, ideology of the states including Transcarpathia. Therefore, some ethnic communities did not have radio and television programs in their mother tongue during the USSR period and were granted the right to information only after Ukraine gained independence.

Published: September 2020

The growing field of shipping and the changes in the global military strategy of large countries which of course indirectly affect how well a country acts. As an archipelagic nation, Indonesia has the right to conceptualize a Traffic Separation Scheme to improve navigation safety in the Islands Sea Channel, based on Article 53 (6) of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) 1982 and also based on the IMO General Provisions for Adoption, Appointment and Replacement of the Islands Sea Plate. Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) is a dividing line between the navigation boundaries of trade ships and the territorial waters of national jurisdictions. The Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) Scheme is a traffic management route system governed by the International Maritime Organization or IMO. Then we can know that Indonesia has the right and obligation to regulate its own sea. Departing from this, the concept of the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) and Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) was coined, as an effort of embodiment, a derivation of "lex specialis" International provisions adopted by all sea users in the world. This study uses a qualitative method with an explanatory approach. The procedure used to obtain this information is through literature review. Data analysis in this study uses SWOT analysis (strength, weakness, opportunity and threat) and POAC (planning, organizing, actuating and controlling). The result for this case study, must prepare carefully for the implementation of TSS and PSSA in the Lombok Strait, as a country that has declared itself as the first archipelagic state in the world that has a separation in its narrow sea. Given that the implementation is just counting the days. Indonesia does not need to doubt the benefits of TSS and PSSA itself, because TSS and PSSA become a "win-win solution" for both the user and coastal countries
Now what? The experience of youth leaving care in four European countries
Authors: Roxana Ungureanu  , Mihaela Tomita  
Published: September 2020

This paper draws on evidence from an Erasmus+ funded project, Now What?: Preparing and Empowering Youth Leaving Care, which aimed to find out the development of an integrated approach that will successfully achieve the provision of guidance on effective education, work and living in the community and support and help when the youth face crises that are an inevitable part of their transition to adulthood and independence. The research was carried out over two years by a consortium of four countries: Romania, Greece, Albania and Portugal. The principal method used was a biographical narrative interviews with a sample of 390 young people aged 15–20. Positive results came from a range of different interventions, e.g. mentoring projects and structured individualized support. We conclude that most focused interventions seem to improve foster children's poor academic achievements, but mentoring projects have so far the best empirical support from evaluations with rigorous designs. Also there's a definite need for more intervention research.
Job satisfaction and value creation: antidotes for business educators’ job retention
Authors: Owenvbiugie Robinson Osarumwense  
Published: September 2020

The study assessed how job satisfaction and value creation serve as antidotes to job retention of employees in higher institutions in Edo and Delta States. Variables such as tenure, salary, excellent compensation and training and development were assessed. Four research queries were provided answers to. Two reasonable guesses were tested. Survey research was applied. 189 business educators were used for the study. A total of 179 questionnaires were found usable representing 94.7 percent. The instrument was validated by Three experts validated the items in the questionnaire. The instrument yielded 0.98 using the Cronbach alpha to enhance its face and content validity. The descriptive statistics was used to answer all questions raised for the study. The reasonable guesses were tested with the t-test statistics. Lecturers’ Job Satisfaction and Value Creation Questionnaire (LJSVCQ) were administered on the respondents by the researcher with two supporting persons. Results revealed business educators: male and female, married and single, were satisfied with job tenure, salary they earned. It also revealed business educators were satisfied with excellent compensation, training and development. Male do not differ with female business educators in their levels of job satisfaction. Married lecturers do not differ from single business educators in their levels of job satisfaction. The study recommended that business educators’ job satisfaction may be improved if management and councils of various tertiary institutions pay necessary attention to staff welfare in terms of regular review of salary paid to staff, and security of workers’ job.

Authors: Alrashedi Nashmi 
Published: September 2020

One of the difficult problems at the present stage of development of education is the creation of conditions for the full realization of the student's personality. As one of the ways to solve it, the creation of an adaptive educational process is considered, which is built taking into account the capabilities of students, focuses on meeting their diverse needs and interests, provides conditions for their life self-determination and self-realization, creates a favorable psychological climate for the pedagogical interaction of all subjects of the educational environment. Thus, the paper is based upon adaptive education technologies used to reflect the cooperation of subjects, dialogue, the solution of personally significant tasks, free testing of experience.
Amending the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq (2005)
Authors: Mohammad Taha Hussein AL-Huseini  
Published: September 2020

The authority that have the right to amend the constitution have to be restricted to two points: the first is to abide by the restrictions which the constitutional legislator imposed for the amendment, and the second is that the amendment should goes through the stages stipulated by it in the constitutional document. Both are found in the Iraqi constitution amendment, so the constitutional legislator imposed a set of restrictions on the amendment, which must be started with the proposal, the initiative approval and finally the final approval, whether the amendment is normal or extraordinary; each has its terms of success which may cause the difference between them.

Published: September 2020

Abstract. Testicular transcriptomes were analyzed to characterize the
differentially expressed genes between mulard and Pekin ducks, which will
help establish gene expression datasets to assist in further determination
of the mechanisms of genetic sterility in mulard ducks. Paraffin sections
were made to compare the developmental differences in testis tissue between
mulard and Pekin ducks. Comparative transcriptome sequencing of testis
tissues was performed, and the expression of candidate genes was verified by
quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). In
mulard ducks, spermatogonia and spermatocytes were arranged in a disordered
manner, and no mature sperm were observed in the testis tissue. However,
different stages of development of sperm were observed in seminiferous
tubules in the testis tissue of Pekin ducks. A total of 43.84 Gb of clean
reads were assembled into 193 535 UniGenes. Of these, 2131 transcripts
exhibited differential expression (false discover rate <0.001 and
fold change ≥2), including 997 upregulated and 1134 downregulated
transcripts in mulard ducks as compared to those in Pekin duck testis
tissues. Several upregulated genes were related to reproductive functions,
including ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2), calmodulin (CALM), argininosuccinate
synthase and delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase ALDH18A1 (P5CS).
Downregulated transcripts included the testis-specific
serine/threonine-protein kinase 3, aquaporin-7 (AQP7) and glycerol kinase
GlpK (GK). The 10 related transcripts involved in the developmental biological
process were identified by GO (Gene Ontology) annotation. The KEGG (Kyoto
Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathways indicated that peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and calcium signaling pathways were
significantly (P<0.001) associated with normal testis physiology.
The differential expression of select genes implicated in reproductive
processes was verified by qRT-PCR, which was consistent with the expression
trend of transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq). Differentially expressed candidate genes RYR2, CALM, P5CS,
AQP7 and GK were identified by transcriptional analysis in mulard and Pekin
duck testes. These were important for the normal development of the male
duck reproductive system. These data provide a framework for the further
exploration of the molecular and genetic mechanisms of sterility in mulard
ducks.
Highlights. The mulard duck is an intergeneric sterile hybrid
offspring resulting from mating between Muscovy and Pekin ducks. The
transcriptomes of testis tissue from mulard and Pekin ducks were
systematically characterized, and differentially expressed genes were screened, in
order to gain insights into potential gonad gene expression mechanisms
contributing to genetic sterility in mulard ducks.
La vitalidad del mixteco en dos colonias de la ciudad de Ensenada, Baja California y la transmisión intergeneracional de la lengua
Authors: Orozco Rodríguez Lilian Chantal , Sima Lozano Eyder Gabriel 
Published: September 2020

Desde la Sociolingüística, observamos la vitalidad de la lengua mixteca en dos colonias urbanas de migrantes predominantemente mixtecos, originarios del estado de Oaxaca, que han arribado a la ciudad de Ensenada, México. A la luz de la teoría de ecología de presiones (Terborg y García, 2011a, 2011b) y aplicando el cuestionario sociolingüístico propuesto por estos autores, obtuvimos la máxima facilidad compartida, concepto determinante para el análisis del vitalismo de la lengua.
La aplicación de este instrumento en 226 hablantes, arrojó que el mixteco tiene altos niveles de uso entre los integrantes de la comunidad, superando al español en algunas variables, por lo que en este lugar de llegada el uso de la lengua se encuentra en condiciones más favorables para su mantenimiento en los siguientes años. Sin embargo, algunas señales indican que los sujetos más jóvenes están dejando la lengua a favor del español como lo veremos en el análisis.
Políticas del conflicto en El duelo, de Joseph Conrad
Authors: Valls Oyarzun Eduardo 
Published: September 2020

Resumen: El artículo aborda una relectura de la novela breve The Duel (Joseph Conrad, 1908), que se caracteriza como una revisión crítica de las políticas hegemónicas basadas en el conflicto (aquellas que, hoy por hoy, determinan el fenómeno del populismo). Desde un análisis de la principal premisa retórica de la novela, la conceptualización de la guerra como duelo, el autor presenta las premisas ideológicas que explora al texto: la construcción de un enemigo antagónico en un espacio relacional dialéctico; la afirmación de un estado de excepción como eje de dicho espacio; y la dinámica de la resemantización como forma de mantener vivo el conflicto. El texto de Conrad, visto desde la perspectiva del pensamiento de Deleuze, plantea una crítica a estas políticas identitarias, pues revela un espacio de pensamiento ajeno a la dialéctica, y a través del cual se puede desmontar su mecanismo sistémico.Abstract: The present article tackles a new reading of Joseph Conrad’s novella The Duel (1908). The new approach construes the text as a revision of the politics of hegemony based on conflict —which defines present-day populism. After a thorough an analysis of the main rhetorical principle of the novella, the synecdoche war-duel, the author outlines the ideological premises the text scrutinizes, to wit, the construction of an antagonist, i.e. an enemy within the limits of a dialectical space, the assertion of a state of exception as the main ground for the conflict, and the dynamics of re-signification as a means to keep the conflict going. Conrad’s text, as seen through Deleuze’s perspective, ultimately criticizes these politics of identity and in so doing uncovers a new space of thought, outside dialectics, whereby its systemic structure can be deconstructed.

Sobre la ‘normalidad’ de Auschwitz
Authors: Marrades Millet Julián 
Published: September 2020

Resumen: Partiendo de la hipótesis, avanzada por Horkheimer y Adorno, de que Auschwitz era una posibilidad inscrita en la racionalidad instrumental de la civiliza- ción moderna, el artículo analiza algunos mecanismos de la estructura de empresa heredada del industrialismo que pudieron contribuir a ‘normalizar’ lo anormal en el Holocausto nazi. Esta argumentación se desarrolla mediante la articulación de la concepción weberiana de la burocracia moderna con la teoría de la moral de colaboración de Günther Anders.
Abstract: Starting from the hypothesis, advanced by Horkheimer and Adorno, that Auschwitz was a possibility inscribed in the instrumental rationality of modern civilization, the article analyzes some mechanisms of the company structure inherited from industrialism that could contribute to ‘normalize’ the abnormal in the Nazi Holo- caust. This argument is developed through the articulation of the Weberian concep- tion of modern bureaucracy with the Günther Anders’ theory of collaborative moral.
