HIGHER EDUCATION IN EVOLVING WORLD: ACCELERATING THE PACE OF CHANGE IN TEACHING FOR LEARNING
Authors: Dawo Jane Irene , Sika James 
Published: November 2021

<p>World-wide, 21st century higher education (HE) involves knowledge acquisition focused on addressing societal challenges. Fundamentally valuable are high order skills, such as critical thinking, creative problem solving, teamwork, evaluation, analysis, digital literacy, adaptability, and communication which can be used to navigate across a wide range of disciplines attributive to success in modern society. This is achievable through quality teaching for quality learning and hence the need for modernized pedagogical experience. In this regard, modern pedagogy in HE demands beyond routinized merely teachers’ transmission of information versus students’ retention efforts. It delves into the teaching of students on how to handle, address and interpret concepts, evidence and ideas, how to think and act as experts and how to produce original insights and valuable knowledge for the benefit of society, and ultimately, how to remain ahead of foreseeable societal challenges. Due to this, universities should change pedagogical approaches from fact-based traditional lecturing to interactive teaching with the aim of fostering deep understanding and expert-mindedness for problem-solving. This would result in graduates who fit the emerging economic, social and political situations that nations experience. They should be able to; approach societal challenges given their grounded curiosity, critical thinking and creativity, apply innovative skills in addressing real world problems, display a strong sense of personal and professional identity, and portray a high sense of self-efficacy. This paper is an attempt to explain how HE can give forth products who are world leaders in their specific disciplines in respect of teaching, research and community service.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0963/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
EXAMINING THE CULTURAL ELEMENTS IN STORY BOOKS USED IN TEACHING TURKISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: SAMPLE OF DEDE KORKUT STORIES
Authors: Bekis Tuğba Nur , Yiğit Murat 
Published: November 2021

<p>Language is a vital part of human connection. All people need language in order to build relations with other people. Besides this, language encodes culture and provides the means through which culture is shared and passed from one generation to the next. In this sense, language is the basis of social and communicative ability. Communication is the transmission of signals or messages through verbal or nonverbal linguistic signs. Throughout this process, effective use of cultural signs positively affects the communication cycle. Especially, the use of texts including rich cultural elements helps the learner understand the nuances of meaning. With rich motifs, fantastic fiction, elements of curiosity and rich cultural content, Dede Korkut stories are in this sense among the rare works that are suitable for in the field of teaching Turkish as a foreign language. To this end, it is of great importance to find cultural patterns embedded in Dede Korkut stories and take advantage of these texts in teaching Turkish as a foreign language. The study aims to find cultural patterns embedded in Dede Korkut stories and to classify the vocabulary units, i.e., building blocks of these cultural patterns. Research data has been collected through using document analysis method. In the analysis of research data, the descriptive data analysis technique has been used. 7 Dede Korkut story books published by Yunus Emre Institute for B1-C2 levels have been carefully assessed based on 7 different culture levels: family-kinship, food-drink, clothing-textile, color, profession, management-law and spoken language-daily communication. The study results show that it will be right decision to benefit from Dede Korkut stories in teaching Turkish foreigners because they represent the cultural richness of Turkish language, have a rich stock of cultural customs and traditions, and include the high frequency words across the culture levels. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0886/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

El objetivo de la investigación fue estimar la relación entre los cambios en los hábitos alimentarios y el bienestar emocional de los estudiantes universitarios de Ingeniería de la Universidad Privada de Tacna durante la inmovilización obligatoria por COVID-19. El estudio fue descriptivo de corte transversal con una muestra de 195 participantes, se utilizaron dos instrumentos; la escala psicométrica de depresión, ansiedad y estrés (DASS-21) y un instrumento para medir los hábitos alimentarios que fueron validados al presentar un valor de consistencia interna de α = 0,937 y 0,826 respectivamente. La variación de los hábitos alimentarios se evaluó mediante un instrumento que consta de 19 ítems que diagnostican si el participante aumentó o disminuyó el consumo de productos saludables y no saludables. Para la validación de los resultados, el DASS se ajustó mediante un análisis factorial confirmatorio que agrupa a los niveles de estrés, ansiedad y depresión que tiene un Índice de ajuste comparativo (CFI) = 0,91; Error cuadrático medio de aproximación (RMSEA) = 0,78 y un índice de Tucker Lewis (TLI) = 0,90. Los resultados indican una tendencia a consumir alimentos menos saludables que ocasionarían disminución del consumo de alimentos más saludables, los que están relacionados significativamente a estados negativos de salud emocional donde que evidencian una elevada prevalencia de estrés (57,7 %), ansiedad (82 %) y depresión (84,2 %), siendo notablemente mayor en estudiantes mujeres con cuadros de ansiedad notablemente significativos. No obstante, en las limitaciones del estudio, es notorio la relación directa y altamente significativa entre los cambios de hábitos en la alimentación con los estados de afectividad negativa, lo que sugiere implementar estrategias que contribuyan a mejorar la salud Psicológica al desarrollar intervenciones que estén relacionados con una alimentación más saludable para mejorar el bienestar de la población universitaria.

The constellation of things and practices
Authors: Yip Adilia 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Artistic research methodology is pluralistic, variable and pliable. It is a constellation of research things and practices that contain numerous possibilities and solutions and it underpins a dualistic concept: the predefined path set by the researcher’s subjective background and the unprecedented path where new insights, understandings and products come into being. Percussionist and marimbist Adilia Yip proposes a two-step modus operandi – reduction and prejudice – to help artist-researchers develop and justify the appropriate tools and techniques in forming a method.

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between autonomic dysfunction (AD) determined according to the blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) response in exercise treadmill test (ETT) prior to cryoballoon ablation (CBA), and the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after CBA in patients with paroxysmal AF.
Patients and Methods: Seventy-six patients (mean age 53 ± 11 years, 61.8% male) with paroxysmal AF who underwent CBA were enrolled. Before CBA the ETT was performed by all patients. BP and HR responses in ETT were compared between patients with and without AF recurrence.
Results: AD rate was significantly higher in the group with recurrence compared to the non-recurrent group (p< 0.001). In addition to AD, age, female gender, and lower exercise capacity were also associated with post-CBA AF recurrence (p> 0.05 for all). Examining AD parameters, systolic blood pressure at peak exercise (SBPpeak) (p< 0.001) and diastolic blood pressure at peak exercise (DBPpeak) (p< 0.001), slow heart rate recovery (HRR) (p< 0.001) were significantly higher in the recurrent group.
Conclusion: AD may be associated with AF recurrence after CBA in patients with paroxysmal AF. SBPpeak, DBPpeak, and slow HRR appear to be predictors of AF recurrence after ablation.
Pod save you: assisting the transition to audio-based asynchronous learning
Authors: Patterson Brandon , Hull Bryan Elias 
Published: November 2021

Background: In 2017, an academic health sciences library in Utah developed a multimedia studio for students, faculty, and academic staff. Educational projects needing video, audio, and lecture capture could utilize a one-button studio for recording video sessions, microphones for audio, and various screen capture software for lectures. Since the pandemic, this service has seen rapid growth due to academic lectures going exclusively online. In response, the library launched a dedicated podcasting suite to accommodate the increase in students and faculty needing to record lectures or podcasts for others in the medical profession.Description: This article will outline the process of creating the podcasting suite and provide equipment rosters and methods other libraries may consider for establishing their own studio. Administrating duties of the studio will also be included, such as handling reservations and user assessment. An instructional guide for users is also included to assist patrons in accomplishing their podcast creations. Conclusion: Podcasts created in the space range from topics about teaching strategies in medicine to diagnoses and treatments of skin disorders. A podcasting suite is another way libraries can provide valuable services for asynchronous learning and student projects. Students, staff, and faculty have appreciated the ease of the service and the support behind it. A feedback loop was developed to further improve the space to meet the needs of users.
Beyond Belief: How the "Corroboration Rule" in Malawi Obstructs Justice for Victims of Sex Crimes and Discriminates Against Women and Girls on the Basis of Sex—A Call for Legislative Change
Authors: Liu Michelle Xiao , Creel Benton Alexandra K. 
Published: November 2021

Sexual abuse against women and girls in Malawi is pervasive, and survivors face significant barriers in their quest for justice. One particular barrier—the “corroboration rule”—stands out as a discriminatory and onerous roadblock for women and girls who seek justice as victims of sex crimes.
The corroboration rule is a common law rule of evidence and criminal procedure that requires prosecutors trying sex offence cases to have independent evidence in addition to a victim’s testimony, even if that testimony is credible and shows beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the sex crime. This heightened evidentiary standard for victims of sex crimes is based on the stereotype that women and girls are apt to lie about being raped and that their word alone—no matter how clear, convincing, or credible—should not be enough to put a rapist behind bars. Because of the rule, too many women and girls in Malawi are not treated equally in the criminal justice system, and rarely are those who sexually abuse them brought to justice in court. This fosters a climate of impunity for rapists and sexual abusers.

While many countries around the world used to require the corroboration rule in sexual offences, in the modern era, Malawi stands apart from the rest of the world as one of the few countries that still requires its use as a matter of common law. However, with a constitution that guarantees equality for women and girls and equal access to justice under the law, and as a State Party to treaties that guarantee the same, Malawi’s Parliament should abolish the corroboration rule.

Published: November 2021

Objective:
This study seeks to produce culturally-attuned recommendations for disease management in individuals with type 2 diabetes in M’Bour, Senegal.
Methods:
The PEN-3 Cultural Model (PEN-3) framed this mixed methods study to capture a) the qualitative barriers and enablers to participating in physical activity through narrative interviews; as well as b) the quantitative extent to which participants engaged in physical activity through the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Content analysis identified emergent themes from interviews and descriptive statistics summarized IPAQ responses.
Results:
Among 41 individuals formally diagnosed with diabetes, the mean age was 58 (SD=11.8). Results elicited from PEN-3 included several barriers and enablers to physical activity. Barriers included prohibitive costs of gym membership and exercise equipment; limb pain; and feeling ill. Participants reported walking as their main source of exercise, with an average frequency of 4 days per week (SD=2.8). Although patients reported a lack of others with whom to exercise, familial support aided in maintaining exercise behaviors such as walking.
Conclusions:
Given participants’ need for exercise companions, group-based activities ​may be useful. Patients with diabetes may also benefit from complimentary home-based exercises that are gentle and pain alleviating.

Authors: Arujunan Kalaikumar , Ismail Ismi Arif , Othman Shamsuddin , Arshad Mohd Mursyid 
Published: November 2021

Effectiveness of an organization is largely dependent on its employees’ job performance. Job performance is influenced by job stress and job motivation, whereby job motivation is believed to have a mediation effect in the relationship between job stress and job performance. Hence, this paper is aimed at identifying the relationship between these three variables among Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) officers at the Federal Territory Police Headquarters. This is a quantitative study for which data has been collected from 341 police officers through a survey. Data was analyzed statistically using PLS-SEM. Findings showed that there was a significant, negative relationship between job performance and job stress; and between job stress and job motivation. Job motivation was found to be a significant mediator in the relationship between job stress and job performance.
RECOGNITION OF A 600-KM-LONG LATE TRIASSIC RARE METAL (Li-Rb-Be-Nb-Ta) PEGMATITE BELT IN THE WESTERN KUNLUN OROGENIC BELT, WESTERN CHINA

AbstractThe rising demand of strategic metals, especially lithium, necessitates discovery of new resources to meet the global supply chain. Recently, several pegmatite-hosted rare metal (Li-Rb-Be-Nb-Ta) deposits have been discovered in the Western Kunlun orogenic belt, making it a new world-class rare metal resource (estimated ~7 Mt Li2O and 0.16 Mt BeO). Understanding the metallogenesis of this belt is critical to further evaluate the rare metal potential. In this study, columbite-tantalite (coltan) and monazite from rare metal pegmatites and zircon from potential parental granites were collected from five representative rare metal pegmatite deposits in the western, middle, and eastern parts of the Western Kunlun orogenic belt for U-Pb geochronology. The results indicate that despite the distances of the sampling localities in different parts of the Western Kunlun orogenic belt, the ages of pegmatite-hosted rare metal mineralization fall in a narrow range of ca. 208–204 Ma. These rare metal pegmatites are temporally and spatially related to adjacent postorogenic granites emplaced following the closure of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean. The compositional characteristics of K-feldspar, biotite, and muscovite of the granites and pegmatites, along with regional mineralogical and textural zonation of the pegmatites, suggest that the rare metal pegmatites were derived from the volumetrically much more important, highly fractionated granitic intrusions. We propose that, in combination with the data from previous studies, the 218–204 Ma interval represents a newly recognized rare metal metallogenic period linked with granitic intrusions in the Western Kunlun orogenic belt, revealing a 600-km-long late Triassic rare metal pegmatite belt composed of multiple ore fields formed in a similar metallogenic setting. These results emphasize the importance of identifying fertile, Late Triassic to Early Jurassic granitic intrusions for rare metal pegmatite exploration. Furthermore, combined with recent studies on the Songpan-Ganzi rare metal pegmatite belt along the eastern segment of the Paleo-Tethys, this study further highlights the great potential of rare metal resources in this global tectonic zone.

Published: November 2021

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo enfocarse en la problemática de la metodología de la investigacion histórica, la cual comprende los estudios del pasado como parte de las humanidades, interrelacionadas entre si varias disciplinas, en algunos casos difíciles de separar o con los límites entre ellas difícil de ubicar. La temática de la metodología de la investigacion histórica está relacionada con el trabajo dentro de la tesis doctoral, realizada en Posgrado de Filosofía y Letras en la Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua, titulada “Las influencias de la propaganda socialista soviética en la cultura y educación dentro de la década de los 20 y 30 en Chihuahua” bajo dirección de doctor Jesús Adolfo Trujillo Holguín. Desde principio de la investigación surgió problema del trabajo con los fuentes primarios, el cuestión de la veracidad de los datos encontrados, la verificación de la autenticidad, contextualización y finalmente, probablemente el proceso la más difícil la reflexión e interpretación. En búsqueda de la metodología o metodologías que ayudarían con la problemática presentada se revisó propuestas de los diferentes autores -entre quienes destacan Jenkins, Topolski, Gotschalk y Handelsman y maneras en que tratan solucionar el problema. Finalmente se optó por división de los metodos en dos partes una que permitiría seleccionar y verificar los datos y la segunda adecuada para la interpretación de las fuentes primarias. En el presente trabajo se pretende exponer las metodologías usadas como también justificar y defender las selecionadas.
Teachers’ Perception of Advantages and Disadvantages of Kahoot!
Authors: Rajabpour Abouzar 
Published: November 2021

Many instructors around the world have been using different Game-based Student Response Systems due to the rise in the variety and availability of digital educational and commercial games. Kahoot, one of the most popular among these systems, provides a game experience by combining theory of intrinsic motivation and game-flow with the help of audio/visual aids. In spite of the numerous attempts to evaluate this game-based tool according, limited research has focused on teachers’ perceptions of the potential strengths and weaknesses of Kahoot, specifically in GCC countries. Employing focus group interviews, this study attempts to shed some light on the potential advantages and disadvantages of Kahoot by gathering the views of teachers who work at the Center for Preparatory Studies at a university in Oman. Results indicate that although teachers believe that Kahoot is qualified with several positive features, it still suffers from several disadvantages in which it can definitely improve.

Published: November 2021

Euthanasia techniques in amphibians are poorly described and sparsely validated. This study investigated potassium chloride (KCl) for euthanasia of anesthetized marine toads ( Rhinella marina ). Twenty three toads were immersed in buffered MS-222 (2 g/L) for five minutes (min) beyond loss of righting reflex, manually removed, and randomly administered KCl (n = 6/group) via one of three routes: intracardiac at 10 mEq/kg (IC), intracoelomic at 100 mEq/kg (ICe), or immersion at 4500 mEq/L (IMS) or no treatment (C) (n = 5/group). Doppler sounds were assessed continuously from prior to treatment until two min post-treatment and every five min thereafter until sound cessation or resumption of spontaneous movement. Plasma potassium concentration (K+) was measured at the time of Doppler sound cessation in ICe and IMS. In IC, ICe, IMS, and C, Doppler sound cessation occurred in 4/6, 6/6, 6/6, and 1/5 toads with median (range) or mean + SD times of 0.23 (0-4.65), 17.5 + 9.0, 40.6 + 10.9, and &gt;420 min, respectively. Nonsuccess in 2/6 toads in IC was suspected due to technique failure. Plasma K+ exceeded the limits of detection (&gt;9 mmol/L) in 12/12 toads in ICe and IMS. Five of six toads in C resumed spontaneous movement at median (range) times of 327 (300-367) min. KCl delivered via an intracardiac, intracoelomic, or immersion routes resulted in Doppler sound cessation in 16 of 18 toads and may be appropriate for euthanasia of anesthetized marine toads.
