Authors: Siah Poh chua , Yap Han Jet , Linganathan Kalesh , Ang Zi Xuan , Siew May Cheng 
Published: November 2024

Background. Some undergraduates face problems in academic adjustment thus are unable to continue their studies. By using the theory of gender schema and the transactional model of stress and coping, this study aims to explore the relationships among gender roles, coping strategies and academic adjustment, and to examine whether coping strategy is a mediator for the effects of gender roles on academic adjustment.

Method. The descriptive predictive survey method was used in this study. Altogether 196 undergraduate participants were selected through the purposive sampling method. They were asked to fill in a questionnaire consisting of three measurements: Academic Adjustment Scale, Bem Sex Role Inventory, and Brief COPE.

Results. The findings of the study showed that different gender roles are associated with different coping strategies and academic adjustment, and that different coping strategies are associated with academic adjustment differently. In addition, positive thinking is a statistical mediator for the effects of femininity on academic adjustment while avoidance is a statistical mediator for the effects of masculinity on academic adjustment.

Conclusion. The findings indicate the importance of considering gender roles in the transactional model of stress and coping, besides creating awareness among undergraduates about the importance of using different coping strategies corresponding to their gender roles while facing problems in academic adjustment.
Personality Inventory for DSM-V-BRIEF FORM (PID-V-BF): Translation and Validation
Authors: Naz Nida Falak , Aslam Dr. Naeem 
Published: November 2024

Background. DSM-5 proposes a new trait model of personality for the diagnosis of personality disorders. This model constitutes five major domains encompassing maladaptive personality traits that are considered as pathological ends of famous five factor model. There domains were named as antagonism (agreeableness), detachment (extraversion), disinhibition (conscientiousness), negative affectivity (neuroticism), and psychoticism (openness). Inventory used to operationalize this model is called Personality Inventory for DSM-V. This study utilizes brief form of the inventory with twenty-five items for having culturally comparable and lexically valid version of this inventory to use with Pakistani population.
Method
Items of the scale were translated by bilingual exerts into the targeted language through standardized procedures and Confirmatory factor analysis was then run on the sample of 300 adults (M = 27.36, SD = 9.32).
Results
CFA revealed the satisfactory fit of the model after adding for covariance. The obtained value for chi square was 616.86 (df = 267) which indicates adequate fit of the model. RMSEA =.06 also meet the criteria and specifies good fit of the model. Similarly, fit indices for the model also meet the minimum criteria (IFI=.91, TLI, .90, CFI = .91). Hence, All the five domains of trait model were confirmed into local culture and depict good reliability coefficients.
Conclusion
It was concluded that Urdu version of the PID-V was proved to be satisfactory and acceptable for further use in the Pakistani context.
Keywords. Personality inventory for DSM-V, DSM. translation, validation, confirmatory factor analysis.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background: Forensic interviews are pivotal to the investigation of child sexual abuse cases. Following best practice, evidence-based guidelines when conducting such interviews is essential in obtaining a credible and reliable testimony. The investigative interview protocol developed by the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) incorporates these guidelines into a structured interview procedure. An integral part of the NICHD protocol is to promote open-ended, invitational interviewer prompts. The current research was conducted to observe the impact of the NICHD Protocol in encouraging invitational prompts and discouraging suggestive prompts when compared to non-protocol interviews.
Method: A systematic review and meta-analysis on the impact of the NICHD protocol was conducted, including 11 studies selected following inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria were determined through the PICO framework. The included literature were experimental studies comparing the NICHD protocol with other structured or unstructured interview methods in interviews conducted with children in suspected cases of child sexual abuse (CSA), with a focus on assessing the quality of investigation using interviewer prompts as a dependent measure. Electronic online databases and Registers/websites including PubMed, PsycINFO, PsycArticles, Web of Science, Wiley Online Library, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Google Scholar, OSF, Dissertation Abstracts International, and ProQuest Dissertations and These were searched for both peer-reviewed articles and grey literature. The analysis used a random effect model that computed separate weighted mean of the effect sizes shown in independent studies for prompts namely: Directives, Option-posing, Suggestions, and Invitations.
Results: Results of the analysis indicated that overall, interviews with the NICHD protocol had less directives (g= -0.9106), option-posing (-0.9178) and suggestive prompts (g= -0.5516), and more invitational (g= 1.9859) prompts than non-protocol interviews.
Conclusion: These results corroborate with the findings of previous studies. However, these findings should be considered with caution due to the detection of high levels of heterogeneity.

Variation in Annual Ring and Wood Anatomy of Six Tree Mangrove Species in the Nicoya Gulf of Costa Rica
Authors: Moya Róger , Tenorio Carolina , Torres-Gómez Danilo , Cifuentes-Jara Miguel 
Published: November 2024

There is limited information regarding the adaptation of anatomical features and growth ring formation to ecological site conditions in Costa Rican mangrove trees. We used the methods and principles of ecological anatomy to explore the relationship between wood properties (e.g., ring formation, anatomical characteristics) and ecological factors for six mangrove tree species growing in three sites in the Gulf of Nicoya in Costa Rica. We found that variations of ecological conditions affected the growth ring formation of Avicennia bicolor, Avicennia germinans, Pelliciera rhizophorae and two species of Rhizophora but not Laguncularia racemosa. Site conditions affected the anatomical features of the mangrove tree species. Ray dimensions (height and width) were the factors most affected, which were followed by the frequency, diameter, and length of vessels. The fiber dimensions, green density, specific gravity, and carbon content were also affected by the site conditions. The plasticity in ray (increasing of ray dimension) and vessel elements (multiple vessels) facilitate efficient hydraulic conductivity amidst negative growth conditions and physiological restrictions for mangrove trees. We hypothesize that soil salinity, freshwater inputs and intertidal flooding influence these changes. Laguncularia racemosa presented the most changes in anatomical features across the different sites, followed by Pelliciera rhizophorae, with identical changes between Avicennia and Rhizophora spp. Finally, site salinity and wave energy affected the highest number of anatomical changes in mangrove tree species, including 38 changes in the wood structures in site 1.

Disability and Vulnerable Groups Inclusion in COVID-19 Policy and Planning in Sub-Sahara African Countries
Authors: Zandam Hussaini , Sulaiman Surajo Kamilu , Mohammad Ashiru Hamza , Sabo Abdulwali 
Published: November 2024

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an excess burden of disease in disabled and vulnerable populations. These populations may face an increased risk of contracting COVID-19, greater demand for services and social support, and reduced access to treatment. Despite various national and international efforts towards disability rights and inclusion, substantial gaps exist between disability rights legislation and its implementation.
Aims: To assess the inclusion of people with disability and other vulnerable groups in policy and planning documents related to the COVID-19 pandemic response in sub-Sahara Africa.
Methods: We conducted content analysis using the EquiFrame policy analysis tool and assessed commitment to 12 vulnerable groups and 21 core human rights in policy and planning documents related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We included documents on general pandemic response, stakeholder engagement, risk communication, and the COVID-19 vaccine from five sub-Saharan African countries, including Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Zambia.
Results: The study highlights the varying degrees to which countries integrate disability, vulnerable groups, and other core human rights concepts into their COVID-19 health policies and planning documents. Only Kenya mentioned disability in their pandemic response plan. However, all countries have explicitly mentioned disability in their stakeholder engagement plans. Except for Kenya, all countries have included disability in their risk communication plans. Notably, South Africa and Zambia demonstrated extensive disability inclusion in their stakeholder engagement and vaccine plan. Thus, these countries have the potential for comprehensive and inclusive health policymaking. In contrast, Nigeria and Ethiopia lag, therefore highlighting areas of improvement across all policy domains.
Conclusion: The findings emphasize the critical importance of not only mentioning disability and other vulnerable groups, but also ensuring the depth and quality of this inclusion. While there are positive strides in certain areas, there remains a consistent need for deeper and broader inclusion across all policy domains.

Phthisis and Romantic Sensibility: The Social Construction of the Idea of Illness
Authors: Ferreira Carlos Miguel , Costa André , Serpa Sandro , Ferraz Jorge 
Published: November 2024

This article aims to understand the process of social construction of the idea of phthisis as a “romantic” illness. The construction of the discursive space on phthisis expresses the conjuncture coalitions of interests that shape the different discursive registers produced by various agents from diverse social spaces (political, medical, religious, literary), making it possible to recognise, legitimise and promote the social visibility of the idea of phthisis as a “romantic” illness. Phthisis, associated with a romantic aesthetic, was seen as a hereditary disease or an illness associated with fate that affected the sensitive souls of the romantic elites, namely young people, women and fragile beings who were consumed by “sad passions”.

Unveiling the Dynamics: A Mixed-Methods Exploration of the Interplay Between Foreign Language Enjoyment, Risk-Taking, and Oral Corrective Feedback Preferences in English as a Foreign Language Classrooms
Authors: Aljasir Nouf 
Published: November 2024

This exploratory mixed-methods study examined the relationships between foreign language enjoyment (FLE), risk-taking (RT), and oral corrective feedback (OCF) preferences among learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). Employing a triangulated research design, the study integrated quantitative data from a structured online questionnaire with qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews and reflective journals. The sample consisted of 523 Saudi students enrolled in a one-year preparatory program at a major public university in Saudi Arabia. The findings indicated a significant positive correlation between FLE and RT, which suggested that greater enjoyment in language learning was associated with increased willingness to engage in linguistic RT. The results also showed that the learners had moderate preferences for all types of OCF, with no single predominant method. Additionally, the study revealed that the learners’ preferences for specific types of OCF significantly influenced both their enjoyment and RT behavior. Gender differences were observed not only in FLE and RT but also in the OCF preferences, with the female learners exhibiting a stronger inclination toward interactive and participatory feedback forms. Furthermore, the study underscored the significant impact of FLE on English language proficiency, thereby affirming that greater enjoyment correlated with higher exam scores. The study offers pedagogical recommendations derived from its findings aimed at improving both the experience and outcomes of language learning.

Published: November 2024

This study explored the impact using the brainstorming method on the listening skills of tenth grade students. To meet the study’s goals, the researchers adopted the experimental approach. They developed an instrument (i.e. listening skills test). This test consists from twenty (20) multiple choice items. The sample consists from 143 female and male 10th grade students. Those students were chosen from Marka, Amman. The researchers chose the sample through using the cluster random method. The data were collected during the first semester of the academic year (2023 / 2024). The sampled students were chosen from four sections. Two sections serve as the experimental group and two sections serve as the control group. It was found that there are significant differences between the experimental and control groups in terms of the mean score on the post-test. It was found that there are significant differences between the scores of the respondents which can be attributed to gender for the favor of males. Based on the results, the researchers recommend using the brainstorming method in curricula and the teachers’ guidebook. They recommend conducting further studies to identify the impact of the brainstorming method on other language skills and other students.
