Using Outpatient Medical Records as a Method of Russian Language Training for Foreign Medical Students
Authors: Алексеева О.В. , Антонова Е.Я. 
Published: September 2020

В статье рассмотрены основные задачи обучения иностранных граждан русскому языку в вузах России и обозначены языковые трудности, с которыми сталкиваются иностранные студенты при получении выбранной ими профессии. Главной проблемой иностранных студентов медицинских вузов России, получающих образование на языке-посреднике, является неуверенное владение русским языком, что не переживается ими как проблема в повседневной жизни, но сказывается на качестве прохождения обязательной практики в медицинских учреждениях страны. Одним из приемов, способных минимизировать неизбежное психологическое напряжение студентов-медиков и помочь им преодолеть языковую скованность во время живого общения с русскими врачами и пациентами, является использование на занятиях по русскому языку как иностранному медицинской карты амбулаторного больного. Заполнение карты проводится начиная с первого курса и продолжается на протяжении всех лет обучения русскому языку всякий раз, когда студенты изучают лексику по новой теме, связанной с тем или иным заболеванием. Главную трудность при заполнении карты амбулаторного больного представляет информация, связанная с жалобами больного. Заполнение этого пункта позволяет не только обобщить и закрепить изученный материал, но и перевести учебные диалоги «врач — пациент» в ситуацию, приближенную к реальному общению врача с больными.
The article describes the main tasks of teaching foreign citizens the Russian language at Russian medical universities and identifies the language difficulties that foreign students face when walking the hospitals. The challenges of communicating with patients at Russian hospitals are aggravated if the theoretical courses are delivered in English as an intermediary language. The discrepancy between the language of education and the language of the social environment is no problem in everyday communication, but affects the quality of compulsory practice in medical institutions in the country. One of the techniques that can minimize the inevitable psychological stress and lack of confidence experienced by foreign medical students and helps them to overcome language stiffness during authentic communication with Russian doctors and patients is the use of an outpatient's medical card in the Russian language classes. The card is filled in starting from the first year and continues being filled in throughout the years of Russian language training whenever students study new vocabulary related to
a particular disease. The main point in filling out the outpatient card is “Patient’s Complaints”. Filling in this item allows not only to review the familiar vocabulary but also to translate made-up “doctor-patient” dialogues into
a situation close to an authentic doctor-patient discourse. This will prepare students for the perception of live-sounding speech of native speakers who are not inclined to choose words that are understandable to students or to choose a speech tempo that is obviously comfortable for them.
Menuju Pemulihan Kepemimpinan Gereja Berdasarkan Eksposisi Yesaya 42:1-9
Authors: Ronda Daniel 
Published: September 2020

Sebagai organisasi, gereja dalam sejarahnya juga mengalami pasang surut. Jika berbicara organi-sasi maka gereja seringkali mengalami perkembangan dan penurunan dari segi manajemen, di mana kepemim-pinan ditengarai menjadi penyebab utamanya. Ciri-ciri gereja mengalami masa-masa surut dapat terlihat dari adanya konflik, kelesuan rohani, ruti-nitas, stagnansi penurunan jumlah ke-anggotaan, penurunan keuangan, serta tantangan eksternal lainnya berupa penganiyaan dan kondisi masyarakat yang tertutup dan resisten terhadap Injil. Ini menjadi suatu siklus yang secara alamiah dialami gereja. Agung Gunawan juga menambahkan bahwa konflik yang ada dalam gereja dapat dilihat dari penurunan partisipasi jemaat, banyaknya keluhan dan ada-nya perubahan perilaku hamba Tuhan yang menjadi pasif dan mulai defensif.

Apreciación de los estudiantes sobre la didáctica de los docentes y su disposición al aprendizaje
Authors: Flores Luin Walda Paola María 
Published: September 2020

Este artículo recoge algunos elementos del estudio original de Flores (2018) titulado “Manifestaciones del principio disyuntivo y dialógico en la didáctica universitaria y la disposición al aprendizaje” y resalta la apreciación que tienen los estudiantes sobre la didáctica de los docentes y cómo a partir de ahí, se disponen al aprendizaje. En estas líneas se presentan los hallazgos en torno a los siguientes objetivos: a) Describir las manifestaciones del principio dialógico en la didáctica universitaria; b) Identificar la manera en que el/la estudiante se dispone al aprendizaje ante las manifestaciones del principio dialógico en la didáctica universitaria; c) Identificar la relación entre la disposición al aprendizaje del estudiante y las manifestaciones del principio dialógico en la didáctica universitaria.A partir del estudio se pudo identificar dos grandes categorías para interpretar las manifestaciones del principio dialógico en la didáctica universitaria. Según los estudiantes, la actividad didáctica del docente está vinculada de manera integral y complementaria con las formas de ser en el vivir del docente y su relación con los y las estudiantes. Cada categoría se subdividió en diferentes subcategorías emergentes durante el estudio. Se llegó a identificar que ante las manifestaciones del principio dialógico, la tendencia es la disposición al aprendizaje por parte de los estudiantes. Sin embargo, se observaron excepciones que llevan a pensar en el aprendizaje superficial y que sería motivo de otra investigación.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: the purpose of this study was to analyze effectiveness of credit management system on loan performance of commercial banks in Kenya.Methodology:Descriptive research design was used. The population comprised of 86 respondents. That is, one credit manager and one credit officer from one branch of each of the 43 commercial banks registered with central bank of Kenya as at this year. A census study was conducted since the target population was small. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire through drop and pick later method. The questionnaire was both open and closed ended. Test retest method was used to ensure reliability while piloting was used to check the validly of the research instrument .data was analyzed using to frequencies, percentages and means. Correlation was used to compute the degree of association between variable. The hypothesis was tested using chi square. Data was thereafter presented using table and pie charts. Results:The study established that credit terms has an effect on performance, just like credit appraisal was equally found to be very important in influencing performance of commercial banks. Similarly, a stringent policy was found to have a far greater influence to performance than a libel policy Policy recommendation: It was then recommended the character of the borrower, the current capacity and collateral attached should carry a lot of weight in the appraisal. In addition, credit officer and client should be involved in formulation of credit terms and interest rates on loans reduced since these have an effect on loan repayment hence performance of commercial banks.

Authors: Maringa Elijah Kihooto , G.K Dr. Riro , Kiarie Dr. David 
Published: September 2020

Purpose: The study sought to check the efficiency of Nairobi Securities Exchange with regard to dividend announcements on semi-strong form of efficiency.
Methodology: The study employed event study methodology which is descriptive in nature. Census was carried out to determine which dividend announcements qualified for analysis. The period of study extended for five years from 2012 to 2016. Window period covered 30 days before and 30 days after the announcement. Average abnormal returns were evaluated for significance at 95% confidence level.
Findings: The results indicated that the market was efficient for 4 years except one year where the market was found to be inefficient in semi strong form perhaps due to the prevailing economic conditions during the year.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study recommended that the NSE be checked for efficiency from time to time. This is informed by the fact that an efficient market allocates the resources optimally from areas they are less required to sectors they are highly required hence contributing to economic development. The study recommends regulatory bodies to come up with strategies to enhance and sustain efficiency at NSE.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to determine effect of organizational structure on financial performance of commercial state corporations in Kenya.
Methodology: The study employed a survey research design and targeted all the 34 commercial state corporations in Kenya. The study used both structured / closed ended and unstructured / open ended questionnaires to collect data. Both qualitative and quantitative was analyzed. Inferential statistics was employed whereby correlation and multiple linear regression was used to establish a relation between and among the studied variables. A statistical Package for social sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze data. The analyses data was presented graphically by visual aids such as Figures and Tables.
Results: The findings obtained concluded that, organizational size, structure formalization, structure complexity and structure centralization affected the financial performance of commercial state corporations. Also it was establish that the number of non-executive directors affected the performance of the commercial state corporation is a challenge the board faced. It was further deduced that the organizational structure affected the financial performance of the commercial state corporations.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study recommends that the board size and composition be considered since they affect the financial performance of the commercial state corporations, the number of non-executive directors needs to be selected well, the board needs to comprise of well-educated people since they are actively involved in shaping Commercial state corporations’ strategy, on-executive directors be trained on internal corporate governance mechanisms, and also ownership concentration needs to be reduced to avoid few people controlling the financial performance of the organization.
Stoichiometrically coupled carbon and nitrogen cycling in the MIcrobial-MIneral Carbon Stabilization model version 1.0 (MIMICS-CN v1.0)
Authors: Kyker-Snowman Emily , Wieder William R. , Frey Serita D. , Grandy A. Stuart 
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Explicit consideration of microbial physiology in soil
biogeochemical models that represent coupled carbon–nitrogen dynamics
presents opportunities to deepen understanding of ecosystem responses to
environmental change. The MIcrobial-MIneral Carbon Stabilization (MIMICS)
model explicitly represents microbial physiology and physicochemical
stabilization of soil carbon (C) on regional and global scales. Here we
present a new version of MIMICS with coupled C and nitrogen (N) cycling
through litter, microbial, and soil organic matter (SOM) pools. The model
was parameterized and validated against C and N data from the Long-Term
Inter-site Decomposition Experiment Team (LIDET; six litter types, 10 years of
observations, and 13 sites across North America). The model simulates C and N
losses from litterbags in the LIDET study with reasonable accuracy (C:
R2=0.63; N: R2=0.29), which is comparable with simulations
from the DAYCENT model that implicitly represents microbial activity (C:
R2=0.67; N: R2=0.30). Subsequently, we evaluated equilibrium
values of stocks (total soil C and N, microbial biomass C and N, inorganic
N) and microbial process rates (soil heterotrophic respiration, N
mineralization) simulated by MIMICS-CN across the 13 simulated LIDET sites
against published observations from other continent-wide datasets. We found
that MIMICS-CN produces equilibrium values in line with measured values,
showing that the model generates plausible estimates of ecosystem soil
biogeochemical dynamics across continental-scale gradients. MIMICS-CN
provides a platform for coupling C and N projections in a microbially explicit
model, but experiments still need to identify the physiological and
stoichiometric characteristics of soil microbes, especially under
environmental change scenarios.
Postcolonial Traumatic Stresses among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians
Authors: Adams Mick , Canuto Kootsy Justin , Drew Neil , Fleay Jesse John 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThe mental health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males in Australia is often misunderstood, mainly because it has been poorly researched. When analyzing the quality of life of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males, it is crucial to consider the associated factors that have directly and indirectly contributed to their poor health and wellbeing, that is, the effects of colonization, the interruption of cultural practices, displacement of societies, taking away of traditional homelands and forceful removal of children (assimilation and other policies). The displacement of families and tribal groups from their country broke up family groups and caused conflict between the original inhabitants of the lands and dislocated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tribal groups. These dislocated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were forced to reside on the allocated government institutions where they would be (allegedly) protected. Whilst in the institutions they were made to comply with the authority rules and were forbidden to practice or participate in their traditional rituals or customs or speak their own tribal languages. Additionally, the dispossession from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander traditional lands and the destruction of culture and political, economic, and social structures have caused many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to have a pervading sense of hopelessness for the future. The traditional customs and life cycles of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males were permanently affected by colonization adversely contributing to mental health problems in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. In this article we aim to provide a better understanding of the processes impacting on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males' social and emotional wellbeing.
