Instructional Proxemics and Its Impact on Classroom Teaching and Learning
Authors: Buai Chin Heng , Cheong Yin Mei Cecilia , Taib Fauziah 
Published: June 2021

Instructional proxemics refers to the use of space and spatial design in the instructional environment. This study aims at investigating the ways Chinese as Second Language (CSL) teachers use classroom physical space, body movement and positioning to convey interpersonal and pedagogical messages, and examine how such messages impact on classroom teaching and learning. Lessons conducted by four CSL teachers from the Selangor state were observed. Interview data gathered from both teachers and students were used to elicit information about teaching practices related to proxemics. Martinec’s (2001) Engagement System was used to analyse the proxemics data. The present research findings indicate that the patterns of teachers’ instructional proxemics in class are shaped by the existing classroom layout, students’ seating arrangement, and the instructional activity of the day. The student-interview data also showed that students enjoyed having close interaction with their teachers. Therefore, teachers should vary their instructional activities and move around the class while teaching to ensure they have close social relations with their students. The findings also show that the sense of closeness between teacher and students enhance student learning.

After more than three decades of its adoption in the English language teaching in Malaysia, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach is yet to prove its effectiveness in this country since the English competency level among Malaysian students is reported to be gradually declining among our students and fresh graduates. One common cited reason is they lack competency in using the English language. Nevertheless, CLT should help to enhance learners’ communicative competence if this teaching approach is ideally conducted in L2 classrooms. This includes learners’ ability to employ politeness strategies in oral interactions. In this regard, past studies have shown that students with different English language competency level tended to employ different politeness strategies, hence resulting in different politeness levels displayed during oral interactions. While some strategies can lead to successful communication, others might appear inappropriate. Hence, this scenario could be seen as a threat in L2 learning. Despite this however, the teaching of appropriate politeness strategies among students of mixed-ability in CLT classrooms can be a great help. Here, input on appropriate politeness strategies from more proficient and competent students who are usually more polite is extremely important for less competent classmates to improve their politeness level. This is the concept behind the introduction of Self-Check Politeness Kit (S-CP Kit).

Published: June 2021

High-tech industry employees are among the most talented groups of people in the workforce, and are therefore difficult to recruit and retain. We analyze employee reviews submitted by employees from five technology companies. Following the Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) and the data science life cycle process, we use machine learning techniques to analyze employees’ reviews. Our goal is to predict an overall measure of whether employees are satisfied or not, using other information from the reviews, such as employer attitudes towards upper management. We also use predictive analysis to determine which features are more helpful in determining an employee’s overall job satisfaction. Finally, we analyze which prediction algorithm provides the most accurate predictions. We find the percentage of true positives we correctly identify in the holdout sample is 97.4%, while the percentage of true negatives correctly identified is 72.5%.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
The ubiquitin-proteasome system modifies different cellular and protein functions. Its dysregulation may lead to disrupted proteostasis associated with multiple pathologies and aging. Pharmacological regulation of proteasome functions is already an important part of the treatment of several diseases. 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) derivatives possess different pharmacological activities, including antiaging and neuroprotective. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of several 1,4-DHP derivatives on mRNA expression levels of proteasomal genes Psma3, Psmb5, and Psmc6 in several organs of rats. Rats were treated with metcarbatone, etcarbatone, glutapyrone, styrylcarbatone, AV-153-Na, or AV-153-Ca per os for three days. mRNA expression levels were determined with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). For AV-153-Na and AV-153-Ca, we also determined the expression of the Psma6 gene. In the kidney, metcarbatone, etcarbatone, styrylcarbatone, and AV-153-Na increased the expression of all analysed genes. Glutapyrone increased the expression of Psmb5 and Psmc6 but did not affect the expression of Psma3. In the blood, glutapyrone increased Psmb5 expression. In the liver, AV-153-Na increased the expression of Psma6 and Psmc6 but lowered the expression of Psmb5, while AV-153-Ca only increased Psma6 expression. The ability of 1,4-DHP derivatives to increase the expression of proteasome subunit genes might hold a therapeutic potential in conditions associated with impaired proteasomal functions, but further research is needed.

Abstract
Occupational and sports medicine (OSM) education is poorly represented in Croatian university undergraduate medical curricula. Zagreb University medical students are required to take OSM classes for a week on their final year of studies. The classes are organised around team-based learning (TBL). Given that students who attend TBL classes have significantly higher exam scores than students who take lectures ex cathedra, the aim of this study was to assess students’ knowledge and attitudes immediately after TBL OSM classes. This cross-sectional study included 162 final-year Zagreb University School of Medicine students taking TBL classes in OSM in the academic year of 2019/2020. They were recruited from 30 September 2019 to 4 March 2020. Participants filled in a 20-item questionnaire compiled by the authors and adapted to the Croatian legislation. Their answers demonstrated positive attitude toward OSM classes and negative attitude toward occupational medicine practice and OSM specialty. They showed moderate interest only for the job of sports physician. Even though they showed sufficient knowledge of OSM immediately after the course was completed, they were moderately satisfied with their knowledge. Our findings call for rethinking the practical aspects of teaching OSM classes in order to promote OSM practice among medical students or at least raise awareness about the importance of prevention of numerous work or sport-related disorders.
Recent trends in the youth labor market in Colombia: Diagnosis and policy challenges
Authors: Ham Andrés , Maldonado Darío , Guzmán-Gutiérrez Carlos Santiago 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
This paper characterizes the labor market of youth in Colombia from 2008 to 2017. We estimate labor market indicators for individuals aged between 14 and 28 years using microdata from Colombia's household surveys over the study period. Our estimates document the main patterns and trends in the labor market of youth in labor force participation, employment, unemployment, informality, and earnings. We compare these statistics with the same indicators of adults (individuals aged between 29 and 65 years), and explore differences in characteristics within youth such as gender, region, educational attainment, socioeconomic status (SES), and experience. Results indicate that participation rate of young Colombians have increased in recent years, but are mainly employed in low-quality jobs namely unsalaried and informal. We also document marked inequalities in labor market outcomes across youth characteristics. We provide a series of recommendations to guide future youth labor policy based on these estimates as well as the critical analysis of recent youth policies in Colombia.
Primary care research – influencing and implementing into policy
Authors: Kendall Sally 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
This editorial describes how research in primary health care can be used to influence policy. It draws on previous literature to give an example from the UK of how research in one part of primary care, the health-visiting service, has endeavoured to use evidence to influence policy and practice. The editorial considers frameworks for policy implementation such as Bardach’s eight phase approach and concepts that can inform policy implementation such as Lipsky’s Street-Level Bureaucrat approach.

Terdapat beberapa petirtaan di Jawa Tengah yang merupakan bagian integral dari sebuah candi. Fenomena ini dapat dilihat pada tata ruang Candi Ngempon yang terletak tidak jauh dari Petirtaan Derekan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerapan kitab Manasara-Silpasastra yang memengaruhi tata letak petirtaan dengan suatu candi sebagai satu bagian integral. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan analisis data sekunder yang diperoleh dari studi pustaka dan wawancara. Data sekunder tersebut kemudian menjadi dasar dilakukannya crosscheck dengan melakukan pengamatan lapangan. Dari metode tersebut diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa tata ruang Pechaka dalam Manasara[1]Silpasastra diduga menjadi dasar pemilihan letak Candi Ngempon yang berada di sisi timur laut Petirtaan Derekan sehingga menunjukan adanya penerapan kitab Manasara-Silpasastra dalam kasus ini

There are several petirtaans or bathing structures in Central Java that become an integral part of a temple complex. Such a phenomenon can be seen in the layout of Ngempon Temple and Petirtaan Derekan which are located close to each other. This research aims to analyze the implementation of the book of Manasara-Silpasastra in the layout of Petirtaan Derekan and Ngempon Temple as an integrated whole. The research was carried out by analyzing secondary data obtained from a literature review and interviews. The secondary data were corroborated with data obtained from field observations. Results of the analysis indicate that the layout of Pechaka in Manasara-Silpasastra might become the basis for the positioning of Ngempon Temple at the northeast of Petirtaan Derekan. This shows that the book of Manasara-Silpasastra might be implemented in the layout of the complex of Ngempon temple.

Published: June 2021

This article investigates how five teachers in Physical Education and Health (PEH) draw on different discourses of legitimation and delegitimation of writing practices in PEH. The data consist of transcripts of audio recordings of interviews with the five teachers. Firstly, the recordings were analyzed using van Leeuwen’s (2007) legitimation framework. Secondly, the lexical choices were analyzed to identify different discourses of writing (Ivanič, 2004). Results show that a social practices discourse dominates in the data analyzed, most commonly realized through a rationalization type of legitimation. Students’ linguistic difficulties or unwillingness to write in PEH, i.e. writing with obstacles, is another discourse of writing found in the data. Overall, the teachers tend to legitimate writing practices but report on students’ delegitimation of the same practices, which teachers need to manage. The use of texts is legitimated as practical, timesaving and a recognized tool for instruction and assessment. Writing practices and the use of texts can contribute to the raise the status of PEH and reach long-term goals in PEH and for students’ learning at large. On the other hand, writing and text practices steal time from the core content in PEH and may not suit students who are successful in other parts of PEH.

Authors: Thuy Le Thi Thanh , Lan Nguyen Thi 
Published: June 2021

N-doped TiO2 nanomaterials were prepared with the sol-gel method. The structure and properties of the materials were characterized by using XRD, UV-Vis, SEM, EDX, and IR techniques. The optimal dose of ammonium chloride for doping is 600 mg. The optical absorption edge of N-TiO2 displays a redshift, and a long tail occurs in the presence of nitrogen in the material. Thereby, N-TiO2 may exhibit improved absorption properties under visible light and the solar irradiation. The photocatalytic activity was investigated on the degradation of rhodamine B. The optimal amount of the photocatalyst is 1.8 g/L under visible light.

Personal Loan Agreement Between Small Traders and “Bank Plecit” at Traditional Market Banyumas, Central Java; A Study from the Perspective of Moral Judgement
Authors: Kartikawati Ratna , Osman Zuraini Jamil 
Published: June 2021

In Indonesia, it has found that small traders are still borrowing money from ‘bank plecit’ or known as loan shark although they know the risks of borrowing money from them. This happens because they are financially desperate and very little documentation is required. This study aims to explore the experiences and understandings (cognitive) of small traders and ‘bank plecit’ at Traditional Market, Bayumas, Jogjakarta from the moral judgement perspective that has influenced their personal loan agreement process. Seven ‘bank plecit’ and nine small traders from Traditonal Market, Bayumas, Puworkerto were selected for this study. A qualitative approach using one to one in-depth interview method and observation were used to gather the primary data. The findings show that small traders have a clear understanding of the risk of paying a high-interest rates when they decided to borrow money from ‘bank plecit’. Several reasons are given by both group of respondents in the area of moral judgement decision-making based on a cognitive view that can be considered as internal and external factors. For the small traders, the internal factors are related with them such as responsibility to family so that they can get out of the financial crisis easily and belief in God when they surrender with their life's hardships. While external factors show that small traders believe that it’s a rational decision because the loan process and procedures from the ‘bank plecit’ is often faster and easier than the legal banks that they considered as so straight. They considered that borrowing money from the ‘bank plecit’ was their best rational decision they can made in order to get capital for their business and for their survival. For the ‘bank plecit’, they are only concerned about profits when they agreed to lend the money to small traders, but they said that helping small traders is their responsibility. In addition, they also aware of setting high rate interest to the small traders, they assume that is the way they are helping small traders as the small traders desperately need money. They believed that cognitively, decision that they have made is right because they will help the small traders to start or continue their business. Overall, this study found that moral judgement in cognitive made by both group of respondents are based on their personal situations and lives. Keywords: moral judgement, cognitive, ‘bank plecit’, personal loan agreement
The One Who Wants It
A Reading of Manuel António Pina Through the Eyes of Nietzsche
Authors: Das Neves Sérgio 
Published: June 2021

The poet Manuel António Pina was a close reader of Nietzsche, incorporating some of his philosophical ideas in his own poetry. The objective of this article is to reflect on Pina’s poetical opus Aquele que quer morrer (1978) through the presence of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical literature The Gay Science (Die fröhliche Wissenschaft, 1882-87). Furthermore, this presence allows us to recognise the porous border shared by philosophy and poetry, where these two authors encounter one another. The article concludes that Nietzsche’s philosophical discourse is contaminated by the poetic one and that Pina’s poetic discourse allows itself to be contaminated by Nietzschean philosophy. Metaphor, allegory, irony and self-reflexivity are the most shared operative tools by these authors.

Transfusion Strategies in Patients with Mitral Valve Replacement
Authors: Gumeniuk B. M. , Golota I. P. 
Published: June 2021

The aim. To carry out research of liberal, restrictive and blood-saving transfusion strategies in patients with mitral valve replacement (MVR) in the conditions of artificial blood circulation during operation, in intensive care unit, and in the postoperative period.
Material and methods. Retrograde examinations were performed in 70 patients who underwent surgery for ac-quired mitral valve disease. Our research consisted of three stages: stage 1 involved the study of the volume of transfu-sions of donor blood components during MVR, stage 2 involved the study of the volume of transfusion of donor blood components in the emergency room, stage 3 involved the study of the volume of transfusions of donor blood components in the intensive care unit. All the patients were divided into 3 groups. Group A included 14 patients in whom (arbitrary) liberal transfusion strategy (LTS) with transfusion of donor blood components was applied during the operation. Group B included 19 patients in whom (economical) restrictive transfusion strategy (RTS) during surgery with transfusion of donor blood components was applied. Group C included 37 patients in whom the patient’s autologous blood-saving tech-nology (BST) was applied during the operation.
Results and discussion. At stage 1 of the study, the volume of packed RBCs per 1 transfusion in group A exceeded the volume of packed RBCs per 1 transfusion in group B by 68.0%. The volume of transfusions of native fresh-frozen plasma (FFP) in group A exceeded that in group B by 73.5%. The volume of platelet transfusions (PT) in group A at stage 1 was 75.0%. At stage 2 of the study, the total volume of PT in patients of group A was still 3.0 times higher and FFP was 2.7 times higher than that in group B. At this stage of the study, there was also a 2.6-fold decrease in the volume of PT per 1 transfusion in group B compared with group A. In total, during 3 stages of the study, the volume of PT use in group A was 5.7 times higher, and in group B it was 3.9 times higher than that in group C. The volume of FFP use in group A was 4.4 times higher, and in group B it was 3.8 times higher than that in group C.
Conclusions. The use of LTS in group A and RTS in group B resulted in 5.2-fold and 3.8-fold increase in the total volume of transfused donor blood components, repsectively, compared to group C.
