Native Language Awareness of Preservice Teachers
Authors: Akbulut Serdar , Aslan Yasemin , Ahıskalı Eylem Ezgi 
Published: December 2021

<p style="text-align:justify">The language, in the most basic sense, is a means of communication among people. Since the proper and effective use of people’s native language will shape the whole life of an individual, individuals are expected to have native language awareness. There is a strong bilateral relationship between the effective use of native language and native language awareness. All the teachers/preservice teachers and especially native language teachers/preservice teachers, who are role models as being instructors, are expected to have this awareness and help students to gain and transfer it to the future generations. By this motivation, this study aims to examine language awareness of preservice teachers, an example from Turkey. Through phenomenological design of the qualitative research methods, it has been aimed to reach this goal. Accordingly, the data were collected through semi-structured and structured opinion forms from 60 preservice teachers studying in a state university. In the study, it was seen that preservice teachers generally have this awareness. It has been revealed that the preservice teachers tend to correct their use of language that they think is wrong, they investigate the word they do not know the spelling when they are indecisive, and they mostly find it necessary to obey the language rules in multimedia. It was concluded that attention in the use of language emphasizes the negativities to be encountered in the dimension of providing social communication in daily life.</p>
Data in the Educational and Social Sciences: It’s Time for Some Respect
Authors: Braun Henry 
Published: December 2021

<p style="text-align: justify;">This article introduces the concept of the carrying capacity of data (CCD), defined as an integrated, evaluative judgment of the credibility of specific data-based inferences, informed by quantitative and qualitative analyses, leavened by experience. The sequential process of evaluating the CCD is represented schematically by a framework that can guide data analysis and statistical inference, as well as pedagogy. Aspects of each phase are illustrated with examples. A key initial activity in empirical work is data scrutiny, comprising consideration of data provenance and characteristics, as well as data limitations in light of the context and purpose of the study. Relevant auxiliary information can contribute to evaluating the CCD, as can sensitivity analyses conducted at the modeling stage. It is argued that early courses in statistical methods, and the textbooks they rely on, typically give little emphasis to, or omit entirely, discussion of the importance of data scrutiny in scientific research. This inattention and lack of guided, practical experience leaves students unprepared for the real world of empirical studies. Instructors should both cultivate in their students a true respect for data and engage them in authentic empirical research involving real data, rather than the context-free data to which they are usually exposed.</p>

DETERMINANTES HIERÁRQUICOS DA INADIMPLÊNCIA DE FINANCIAMENTO IMOBILIÁRIO DE PESSOA FÍSICA
Authors: Lima Renata Barreto , Serra Ricardo Goulart , Fávero Luiz Paulo Lopes 
Published: December 2021

Objetivos: Os objetivos do artigo são: (i) identificar os fatores determinantes da inadimplência (default) de financiamento imobiliário e (ii) verificar a existência de influência do contexto do indivíduo (agência bancária) na inadimplência.
Método: O artigo estudou 5.113 contratos de financiamento imobiliário de pessoas físicas pertencentes a 1.448 agências de uma instituição financeira de abrangência nacional vigentes em 30 de setembro de 2019. Devido ao caráter multinível da amostra (nível 1: indivíduo e nível 2: agência) e considerando que as distintas agências apresentam diferentes níveis de performance (em diversos indicadores, inclusive no percentual de contratos de financiamento imobiliário inadimplentes), fez-se uso do modelo logístico multinível em detrimento ao modelo logístico tradicional.
Resultados: O modelo logístico multinível se mostrou superior ao modelo logístico tradicional (18,8% da variabilidade da probabilidade de inadimplência se refere ao nível agência). As características do indivíduo negativamente significantes são: idade, tempo de relacionamento, ser proventista e grau de instrução superior e as características positivamente significantes são: grau de instrução até o ensino fundamental e a relação financiamento/renda. As variáveis sexo e estado civil não se mostraram significativas.
Contribuições: As inovações do artigo são: (a) a abrangência nacional da amostra sobre inadimplência de pessoa física, (b) a utilização de duas variáveis inéditas e (c) o emprego do modelo logístico multinível. A identificação de que indivíduos com as mesmas características, porém, provenientes de agências diferentes, têm diferentes probabilidades de inadimplir, leva ao conhecimento dos acadêmicos e dos profissionais da área a recomendação da modelagem hierárquica para análise de crédito imobiliário.

Authors: De Oliveira Thaissa , Jesuka Duterval , Peixoto Fernanda Maciel , Tizziotti Catarine Palmieri Pitangui 
Published: December 2021

Objetivo: Este estudo investigou os impactos do índice de sustentabilidade da B3 e da pandemia Covid-19 sobre o valor, o desempenho e o risco de 494 firmas brasileiras listadas, no período de 2010 a 2020.
Método: Foi adotado o método de regressão diff-in-diff para observar as variações do desempenho, valor e risco entre as empresas listadas e não listadas no ISE. As variáveis dependentes selecionadas foram: Retorno sobre o Ativo (ROA), Retorno sobre o Patrimônio Líquido (ROE), Preço sobre Valor Patrimonial da Ação, Market-to-book, Volatilidade e Beta. Para medir a sustentabilidade, adotou-se o ISE (Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial) da B3 e considerou-se o efeito da pandemia Covid-19 em 2020.
Resultados: Os principais resultados apontam que a adesão ao índice de sustentabilidade empresarial reduz significativamente o ROA, o ROE, o Preço sobre Valor Patrimonial da Ação, o Market-to-Book, o Beta e a Volatilidade das empresas brasileiras. Não foi encontrada diferença significativa na variação do desempenho, valor e risco entre as firmas listadas no ISE e as suas contrapartes. As evidências mostram que no ano de 2020 houve redução no valor, no desempenho contábil e na volatilidade das empresas brasileiras, influenciadas pelo surgimento e expansão da Covid-19.
Contribuições: Este estudo trouxe evidências de que as práticas sustentáveis de empresas participantes do ISE podem influenciar positivamente o valor de mercado e reduzir a percepção de risco do investidor. Além disso, o estudo inovou ao mostrar as implicações da Covid-19 sobre o valor, o desempenho e o risco das empresas brasileiras.
Madness as a figure in the thought of Desiderius Erasmus
Authors: Vahapoğlu Bindesen Zehra 
Published: December 2021

The work called Praise of Folly, written by Desiderius Erasmus, the shining star of the Renaissance, is the focus of this study. The problem of insanity is one of the issues that has been dealt with from different perspectives at different times in the history of thought. In his best-known work, which has survived to the present day, Erasmus aims to confuse his readers by presenting a reversed understanding of madness. The main character of the work, which is written in satirical style, is madness (stultitia), criticizing what are known as human virtues, and presenting the service of man's soul side as the highest virtue. The madness of Erasmus, who tried to tell the truth with laughter, was both appreciated and ruthlessly criticized in the following years.

Özet
Rönesans’ın parlayan yıldızı Desiderius Erasmus tarafından kaleme alınan Deliliğe Övgü adlı eser bu çalışmanın odak noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Delilik sorunu düşünce tarihinin farklı zamanlarında birbirinden farklı bakış açılarıyla ele alınan konulardan biridir. Günümüze kadar gelen ve en bilinen eserinde Erasmus, tersinden bir delilik anlayışı sunarak okurunda kafa karışıklığı uyandırmayı amaçlar. Hiciv tarzında kaleme alınan eserde başkarakter olan delilik (stultitia), insani erdemler olarak bilinen ne varsa yermekte, insanın nefsani yönüne hizmet etmesini en yüce meziyet olarak sunmaktadır. Hakikati güldürerek anlatmaya çalışan Erasmus’un deliliği sonraki yıllarda hem çok takdir görmüş hem de acımasızca eleştirilmiştir.
Urbanization in China and the role of social and natural capital in land acquisition and transfer arrangements
Authors: Feng Haiying , Squires Victor R. 
Published: December 2021

The paper is in several parts. We explain the context of the study area that is characterized by land acquisition and transfer (LAT) by local government (often against the wishes of the local villagers). We report on a methodology that is simple, yet robust, that enables local land users and other interested parties to quantify the social capital of local people in rural and peri-urban areas of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (GZAR) and assess the extent to which social capital influences the bargaining power of land users when faced with acquisition of their cropland, grazing land, woodlands, water and other environmental goods and services. Finally, we explore the notion that social capital can be a force to create a more even playing field and influence the outcomes of land grab for industrial, infrastructure and urban development.
Interest in the concept of social capital and its application has increased rapidly over the past few years with the realization that social bonds and norms are important for achieving sustainability. Ferdinand Tönnies identified the value of the ideas surrounding social capital as early as 1887, but later scholars gave it a theoretical framework. Social capital implies that there are aspects of social structure and organization that act as resources for individuals, allowing them to realize their personal aims and interests. Often, social capital is defined as trust, norms of reciprocity, and networks among individuals that can be drawn upon for individual or collective benefit. Social capital is different between urbanites and rural dwellers, especially farmers.
In this paper, we focus on how social capital serves the interests of individuals or collectives. Social capital based on kinship and geopolitical position plays an important role in affecting rural land transfer. Rural land transfer (also called LAT) is becoming a highly contested matter as China moves to implement its plan to increase the proportion of urban dwellers to 70% by 2030(Ma et al., 2018). Natural capital (a sub-set of social capital) should always be maintained as it is critical to sustainable economic development representing, as it does, a multidimensional concept that mirrors the different frameworks of various scientific disciplines and social groups used in valuing nature. Widespread and rampant LAT that accompanies accelerated economic development in peri-urban and rural areas (Ma et al., 2018) needs to take critical natural capital into account.
China looks to ASEAN for closer ties, freer trade, and more harmonious relations: a Commentary
Authors: Feng Haiying , Wu Jingji , Squires Victor R. 
Published: December 2021

This paper is in three main parts. Firstly, we summarize key features of the history of trade relationships between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Association of South East Asian countries (ASEAN). This includes a brief examination of the different visions held by ASEAN and PRC and the implications for the various trade partners. In the second part we turn our focus to the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (GAZR) that is on the shores of the South China Sea and a key region being developed as the Beibu Gulf Economic Rim. The port city of Qinzhou is the nearest deep-water port to the ASEAN countries like Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines etc and lies at the eastern end of the Southern Transport Corridor (STC) that links Lanzhou on the Yellow River in NW China, to the coast. Finally, we present a cameo on Qinzhou’s Free Trade Port Areas and their role in the ASEAN–China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA).
A document analysis for improving Oral Health Services in Niue
Authors: Nosa Vili , Pili Nafanua , Tatui Leroy 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT
Background
There is very little research that focuses on oral health in the Pacific region. This paper outlines a document analysis of dental reports from the dental clinic in Niue and to examine their oral health and dental services. Furthermore this paper is intended to highlight how oral services in Niue can be improved for better oral health care for the Niue community.
Methods: A document analysis of seven Niue dental reports between July 2011 to July 2018. The information found in the documents were organised under the sections clinical data reporting. The analysis also focused on a strength based approached for discussing the key challenges; the main achievements; and future recommendations for improving dental services for Niue.
Results: Dental caries are the most common reason for tooth extractions followed by periodontal diseases. Primary school students are affected the most with 60 percent of students experiencing untreated dental caries. Among high school students, the rate of dental caries experienced is relatively low. Women appear to attend the dental clinic more than men however the number of visits for both men and women has declined. The key challenges faced by the dental team were a lack of resources specifically shortage of computers and functioning dental chairs, unfamiliarity with MEDTECH and limited staff development opportunities. Despite these challenges, the team were still able to establish the ‘Atuhau Mamali’ programme and upskill one staff member through professional development. Other achievements included reducing noise pollution, allocating a budget for safety equipment and establishing clinical guidelines for practice.
Conclusions: Recommendations to improve oral health and dental services in Niue are to deliver targeted dental caries interventions in schools, introduce stronger food policies and to implement collaborative networks across the Pacific region. It is recommended that the Niue dental team develop more rigorous methods of data documentation to gain a more accurate picture of oral health in the country.
Prometheus bound? European initiatives and trends on Higher Education and their association with economic competiveness, skills and employability.
Authors: Papadakis Nikos Eystathios , Drakaki Maria 
Published: December 2021

Globalization and increasing internationalization of Higher Education has clearly resulted in a persistent demand for the further transformation of Higher Education Institutes (HEIs), towards competitiveness and contribution to development. What is actually in stake is the employability, while another key issue is the harmonization with the economy and the labor market. That raises, of course, a lot of issues concerning the gradual transformation of the Higher Education and the relation between Higher Education and Society at Large. Globalization has affected all the abovementioned, which is crystal clear in large scale initiatives, in Europe, such as the “Bologna Process” and the subsequent development of the European Higher Education Area, in the case of Europe. Given all the abovementioned, the present article mainly focuses on the European trends, transformations and initiatives in Higher Education, related to HEIs’ active and potential contribution to economic development and the enhancement of graduates’ employability and skills.

AbstractObjectiveAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is a threatening disease for African populations in the upcoming years because of the increase in their expectancy of life. Here, we investigated whether natural products fromChrysophyllum perpulchrumas catechin and two dimeric procyanidins (catechin + hexose) could prevent progression of oxidative stress and cognitive changes using an AD-like rat model induced by Aβ1-40injection into the hippocampal CA1 subfield.MethodologyAdult male Wistar rats were either microinjected with 1% ammonia as a vehicle (10 µL) or aggregated Aβ1-40at 10 µg bilateral hippocampus. On the 14th day of post-surgery, some Aβ rats were treated with melatonin (10 mg/kg i.p.) or with theChrysophyllum perpulchrumextract (300 mg/kg p.o.), and some sham-operated rats received the extract alone. Cognitive abilities were tested with Y-maze, object recognition test and Morris Water Maze. Oxidative stress markers as well as the level of activated microglial cells were assayed in the brain.ResultsAβ rats exhibited significant deficits of recognition memory and spatial learning. This was associated with an increase of microglia Iba 1 immunoreactivity as well as nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase levels but not to the thiol content in the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and septum of AD-like rats. TheChrysophyllum perpulchrumextract treatment mitigated Aβ-induced cognitive impairments and reversed microglia overactivation and subsequent generation of oxidative stress markers. Interestingly, the neuroprotective actions of theChrysophyllum perpulchrumextract seem to be comparable to the control drug melatonin used albeit with some more beneficial effects.ConclusionThese findings are preliminary and should be strengthened by more pharmacological studies of bioactive compounds ofChrysophyllum perpulchrumbefore being proposed as a promising drug against AD.
Παρρησία Szawła w Damaszku i Jerozolimie
Authors: Nawara Dariusz 
Published: December 2021

Greckie terminy παρρησία i παρρησιάζομαι nabrały wielkiego znaczenia w Atenach w VI w. przed Chr. Określano nimi prawo wolnego obywatela do przemawiania na Zgromadzeniu Ludowym. Był on zobowiązany do mówienia prawdy nawet za cenę prześladowania. Pojęcia te funkcjonowały również w sferze prywatnej i w filozofii. Chętnie korzystali z nich autorzy Pisma Świętego (w Dz występują 11 razy). W rozdziale dziewiątym Dziejów Apostolskich św. Łukasz za pomocą czasownika παρρησιάζομαι opisuje postawę nawróconego Szawła, który głosi słowo Boże w Damaszku i Jerozolimie. Pomimo trudności, jakie się pojawiają, niczego nie zmienia w orędziu Ewangelii. Παρρησία jest charyzmatem, którym obdarowuje człowieka Duch Święty. Jego działanie jest kluczowe dla właściwego zrozumienia powyższych terminów w Dziejach. Dzięki Niemu παρρησία nie jest już przywilejem jedynie wolnych obywateli jak w starożytnych Atenach, ale łaską, która nawet prostych i nieuczonych ludzi uzdalnia do odważnego i śmiałego mówienia o Chrystusie.
Wyrażenie „czas, czasy i połowa czasu” jako ograniczony okres ucisku i cierpienia w Księdze Daniela i Apokalipsie św. Jana
Authors: Żarnowski Robert 
Published: December 2021

Artykuł przedstawia analizę tekstów biblijnych Księgi Daniela i Apokalipsy św. Jana, w których występuje określenie „czas i czasy, i połowa czasu”. Wyrażenie to opisuje okres działania sił zła przeciwnych Bogu, kiedy to lud Boży doświadcza prześladowania i ucisku. Ponadto w księdze Apokalipsy pojawiają się wyrażenia równoznaczne bazujące na przeliczeniu wspomnianego wyrażenia na okres trzech i pół roku: „czterdzieści dwa miesiące” i „tysiąc dwieście sześćdziesiąt dni”, a także liczbowo tożsamy okres „trzech i pół dnia”. Najpierw omówiono krótko koncepcję czasu w Piśmie Świętym i dokonano przeglądu hebrajskiej i greckiej terminologii dotyczącej czasu. Następnie przeanalizowano teksty, w których pojawia się bezpośrednio wyrażenie „czas, czasy i połowa czasu” (Dn 7,25; 12,7; Ap 12,14), oraz miejsc z określeniami równoznacznymi (Ap 11,2.3.9.11; 12,6; 13,5). W podsumowaniu wskazano na główne idee kryjące się za analizowanymi określeniami. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań wykazano, że określenie „czas i czasy, i połowa czasu” oraz wyrażenia równoznaczne wskazują na przedział czasowy cechujący się cierpieniem i prześladowaniem spowodowanym pozornym triumfem zła. Zwycięstwo to jest jednak złudne i całkowicie przejściowe, ograniczone potęgą Boga, który panuje nad czasem i historią.

Between the Tides: Developing an Indigenous-Informed Cultural Safety Training Impact Assessment Survey Tool for Post-Secondary Institutions on Vancouver Island, BC
Authors: Whitinui Paul , Dick Skip , Hancock Rob , Alan Billie , Loppie Charlotte , Erb Tara , Duerksen Rebecca , Baldwin Cortney 
Published: December 2021

This paper highlights the development of an Indigenous Cultural Safety Training (ICST) impact assessment survey tool working in collaboration with Indigenous leaders, Elders, faculty, staff, and students from across four post-secondary institutions on the traditional lands of the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ Peoples on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. What emerged from a series of Indigenous-led workshops was the development of an ICST impact assessment survey tool to measure the impact of the training as well as for ICST participants to reflect on their own cognitive and behavioural change within their practice over a 12-month period. In addition, a validation process with ICST experts, facilitators, staff, faculty, Elders, and participants was carried out to help refine the proposed co-constructed assessment variables, statements, and questions underpinning the survey tool. The finalized ICST impact assessment survey tool will not only improve the quality of ICST in post-secondary settings, but will also enable staff, faculty, and leaders to reflect on how the ICST improves their personal and professional practice working with Indigenous students in these settings.
