Investigation of Cultural Identity of Students Who Study Japanese Language at British Universities Between 2012 and 2023
Authors: Winch Junko 
Published: April 2024

In Japanese language classrooms, students have become more globalised in terms of the students' educational and life experience background. Teaching pedagogies which have been used before globalisation may not be appropriate and effective to students after globalisation. The aim of this study is to investigate any cultural identity characteristics of students who studied Japanese at two British universities in the South of England between 2012 and 2023. The significance of this study is to investigate how students' individualist or collectivist cultural background may affect students' cultural identity. Participants were a total of 22 students who studied Japanese language through an Institution-Wide Language Programme. The majority of these students have studied Japanese for a minimum of 1-3 years. The data was collected between 2012/13 and 2022/23 academic year from two British universities. The research design to investigate students' cultural identity characteristics was a mixed method, using variables such as hometown, languages they speak, their values and their first name. Students' origin, where they were born and where they were educated were also taken into consideration to analyse the data. The key finding of students' characteristic was that students' identification was closely related to their sense of belonging in the results of students' hometown, languages they speak, their values and their first name, which is in line with other previous research results in the literature. Other findings included that some of the students found it difficult to determine their hometown, that the majority of students were multilingual who have experience in several language learning, that students' values were often influenced by their parents' individualist or collectivist cultural values, and that students' first names often showed the students' identification and sense of belonging. Taking into consideration of individualist or collectivist culture, recommendations discuss on how the language teaching practitioners may be able to support the sense of belonging of the current students who have diverse educational and life background.

Published: April 2024

Abstract

Employees are an important company asset who have quality work competencies to provide the best performance to support company programs. In practice, the Human Capital (HC) team has a competency improvement program that requires motivation from employees as an internal factor so that the program can run effectively. Work motivation is affected by a variety of factors such as salary, work environment, job security, relationships with coworkers, awards, and so on. This influences whether an employee is satisfied with his or her job.
The proportionate stratified random sampling approach was utilized, which is a sampling methodology for populations with mixed or variable features, and the data in this study uses a quantitative approach. The population is millennial employees at PT XYZ with a total of 139 millennial employees. The data was collected by distributing a questionnaire with 28 closed questions and response options indicating how strongly respondents agreed or disagreed with the questions posed.
The results show it is possible to conclude that the millennial employees at PT XYZ have a level of job satisfaction that is influenced by work environment factors, innovation, and career development factors that can mediate changes in the level of job satisfaction. This finding could be an overview of benchmarks for management in departments, so that job satisfaction obtained by employees does not become a saturation point but becomes a driving force to improve their performance in this company continuously.

HOUSEHOLD FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO SPORTS BETTING AND THEIR EFFECT ON STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN TERTIARY INSTITUTION, IN MANDERA COUNTY, KENYA; A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY.
Authors: Osman Abdille Jimale , Wakhungu Nassan 
Published: April 2024

Background:
This study aims to examine household factors contributing to sports betting and their effect on students’ academic performance in tertiary institutions, in Mandera County, Kenya.
Methodology:
The study used both qualitative and quantitative methods with a descriptive research design. A total of 94 students were included using the systematic sampling method. Questionnaires and interview surveys were used to obtain primary data. Data collected will be analyzed using SPSS and then interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results:
Most students were males (61.7%) in their first year of study. The results obtained showed that source of income (livestock keeping at 36% or crop farming at 28%), history of winning money from betting (78.7%) and being sponsored by parents (73.4%) were the major factors associated with sports betting. A large percentage of the students (84.1%) who were betting got a poor grade point average of D, Possession of smartphones (89.4%), media advertisements (44.7%), and a combination of unlimited internet access, attractive media advertisements, and ease of access to credit (73.4%) were the combination of contributing factors for students’ involvement in mostly online sports betting (95.7%).
Conclusion:
The study found that there is laxity in the implementation and effectiveness of sports betting mitigation measures in tertiary institutions, with no honesty by bettors when asked about the mandatory requirement of being above 18 years of age. It was suggested that regulation of credit companies to moderate credit access and clearing operators once they fully protect users were the main measures that could reduce the harmful effects of sports betting in tertiary institutions.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that education on the effects of gambling and its addiction among students should be incorporated into tertiary institution programs. Further, amendments should be made to by-laws and regulations to limit sports betting in tertiary institutions.

Published: April 2024

This video describes how to incorporate physics into the machine learning process. The process of machine learning is broken down into five stages: (1) formulating a problem to model, (2) collecting and curating training data to inform the model, (3) choosing an architecture with which to represent the model, (4) designing a loss function to assess the performance of the model, and (5) selecting and implementing an optimization algorithm to train the model. At each stage, we discuss how prior physical knowledge may be embedding into the process. Physics informed machine learning is critical for many engineering applications, since many engineering systems are governed by physics and involve safety critical components. It also makes it possible to learn more from sparse and noisy data sets.

Published: April 2024

Background Lumbar spinal fusion is a commonly performed operation with relatively high complication and revision surgery rates. Lumbar disc replacement is less commonly performed but may have some benefits over spinal fusion. This meta-analysis aims to compare the outcomes of lumbar disc replacement (LDR) versus interbody fusion (IBF), assessing their comparative safety and effectiveness in treating lumbar DDD. Methods PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar (pages 1-2) were searched up until February 2024. The studied outcomes included operative room (OR) time, estimated blood loss (EBL), length of hospital stay (LOS), complications, reoperations, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), back pain, and leg pain. Results Ten studies were included in this meta-analysis, of which six were randomized controlled trials, three were retrospective studies, and one was a prospective study. A total of 1720 patients were included, with 1034 undergoing LDR and 686 undergoing IBF. No statistically significant differences were observed in OR time, EBL, or LOS between the LDR and IBF groups. The analysis also showed no significant differences in the rates of complications, reoperations, and leg pain between the two groups. However, the LDR group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in mean back pain (p=0.04) compared to the IBF group. Conclusion Both LDR and IBF procedures offer similar results in managing CLBP, considering OR time, EBL, LOS, complication rates, reoperations, and leg pain, with slight superiority of back pain improvement in LDR. This study supports the use of both procedures in managing degenerative spinal disease.

Published: April 2024

Background Low back pain (LBP) is a common problem which can affect balance and, in turn, increase fall risk. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the impact of a Sacroiliac Belt (SB) on balance and stability in patients with LBP. Methods Subjects with LBP and without LBP (“Asymptomatic”) were enrolled. Baseline balance was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale. In a counterbalanced crossover design, LBP and Asymptomatic subjects were randomized to one of two groups: 1) start with wearing the SB (Serola Biomechanics, Inc.) followed by not wearing the SB or 2) start without wearing the SB followed by wearing the SB. For subjects in both groups, dynamic balance was then assessed using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) with each leg planted. Results Baseline balance was worse in LBP subjects (Berg 51/56) than Asymptomatic subjects (Berg 56/56) (p<0.01). SB significantly improved SEBT performance in LBP subjects regardless of which leg was planted (p<0.01). SB positively impacted Asymptomatic subjects’ SEBT performance with the left leg planted (p=0.0002). Conclusion The Serola Sacroiliac Belt positively impacted dynamic balance for subjects with low back pain. Further research is needed to examine additional interventions and outcomes related to balance in patients with back pain, and to elucidate the mechanisms behind improvements in balance related to sacroiliac belt utilization.

Published: April 2024

A capoeira é uma importante herança cultural afro-brasileira que traz benefícios para o corpo e a mente, com potencial para o desenvolvimento motor e social das crianças. Esses aspectos são relevantes na educação infantil, o que torna a prática interessante para aplicação nas escolas. No entanto, percebe-se a escassez de recursos pedagógicos adequados para o ensino dessa modalidade, oportunizando o projeto em questão. Relata-se a criação de um produto físico, configurando a pesquisa como teórico-prática com objetivo de colaborar para que educadores consolidem a comunicação inclusiva e lúdica sobre questões étnico-raciais, respeitando a capacidade cognitiva de crianças da primeira e segunda infância, tendo em vista que é nessa faixa etária em que se constroem valores sociais e culturais de maneira acelerada. O levantamento dos marcos infantis do desenvolvimento baseou-se em estudos de Piaget e Gonçalves; a práxis educomunicativa por meio de Soares e Almeida e o arcabouço metodológico prático vem do Design Thinking e do Design Univesal.
