Factors Affecting Iraqi Academic Leaders' Communicative Competence in English: A Sequential Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Saeed Halah Kamal , Razak Norizan Abdul , Aladdin Ashinida Binti 
Published: July 2023

English language communicative competence represents an academic leader's ability to use language effectively. However, to date, Iraqi academic leaders’ communicative competence has not been as effective as predictable and leads to lower intake of international students in Iraqi universities. This paper presents the findings of a study which explored the factors affecting Iraqi academic leaders’ communicative competence in English. The study adopted an exploratory sequential design, where nine semi-structured interviews were conducted online with academic leaders, followed by questionnaire distribution to 108 additional academic leaders. The participants for both parts of the study were from various universities in Iraq. The data collection and data analysis for the research were guided by four theories, namely the communicative competence theory, communication theory, theory of planned behaviour and leadership competence model. Data collected from the interviews were transcribed and analysed thematically. Data from the questionnaires were analysed descriptively and inferentially using SPSS (v.20). The most significant findings were that cultural factors, a positive attitude towards communicative ability, efficiency in communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and critical skills were the factors that affected the Iraqi leaders’ communicative competence. Finally, a model for developing communicative competence among Iraqi academic leaders was formulated based on the findings. The model consists of training programmes for communicative competence development using digital tools for language use, an electronic examination process with efficient monitoring, and language initiatives for enhancing Iraqi academic leaders' communication competence.

Proizvodni ciklus u iskorišćavanju šuma, pod kojim podrazumijevamo proces roda koji počinje s prvom operacijom (priprema radnog mjesta, obaran je stabla), a završava s posljednjom operacijom (uskladišteniem drvnih sortimenata na stovarištu ili njihovom isporukom kupcu), predstavlja jedinstven proces na istom predmetu rada.Vrijeme proizvodnog ciklusa se sastoji od:
- vremena neposrednog procesa proizvodnje tokom kojega se obavljaju tehnološke operacije (obaranje stabla, izrada sortimenata i drugo);
- vremena prekida u procesu proizvodnje (prekidi izmedju operacija, nedostatak goriva, energije i dr.).
Organizaciono-tehničke mjere moraju biti usmjerene na bolje korišćenje vremena neposrednog procesa proizvodnje, odnosno na smanjivanje dužine trajanja vremena prekida u procesu proizvodnje. Na efikasnost korišćenja raspoloživog vremena utiču brojni faktori, različiti po vrsti, intenzitetu i pravcu djelovanja. Svakako, medju njima naročito se ističu:
- organizacija angažovane sile živog rada,
- stepen tehničke opremljenosti rada,
- uslovi rada u šumi.
Sukcesija, koneksija i interakcija mikroorganizama prouzrokovača truleži bukovog oborenog drveta
Authors: Lazarev Vladimir 
Published: July 2023

U ovom radu dat je prilog poznavanju sukcesije, koneksije i interakcije mikroorganizama prouzrokovača truleži bukovog oborenog drveta. Bukovo drvo, kao povoljan hranjivi supstrat, služi mnogim mikroorganizmima kao izvor ishrane, a samim tim utiče na njihov vegetativni i generativni, razvoj. Organizmi koji sukcesivno naseljavaju bukovo drvo nalaze se u stalnoj kompeticiji za prostor i hranu.
Iz tog razloga veoma je važan pristup razjašnjenju pojave sukcesije s gledišta ekologije i fiziologije. Prema tom pristupu, mikroorganizmi moraju biti posmatrani kao individue, ali i kao dijelovi ekosistema. Do sukcesije mikroorganizama dolazi postepeno i ona je najtješnje povezana sa interakcijama koje se dešavaju izmedju njih. Dakle, primami organizam koji je u stanju da naseli svježe posječeno bukovo drvo postepeno mijenja supstrat, a kao posljedica odredjene promjene supstrata dolazi do napada raznih drugih sekundarnih i tercijarnih organizama. Ovo "nizanje" mikroorganizama traje sve do potpune dekompozicije supstrata.

Published: July 2023

Dio nedostatka drveta za kemijsku preradu trebalo je riješiti uzgojem vrsta šumskog drveća brzoga rasta. Uzgajanjem euroameričkih topola, koje su kod nas i u svijetu pokazale velike potencijalne mogućnosti, djelomično namirile bi se potrebe u drvetu za celulozu.
Prije petnaestak godina započelo se kod nas u širim razmjerima sa suvremenim načinom uzgajanja euroameričkih topola (izbor klonova, tehnološki proces proizvodnje sadnog materijala, primjena obrade tla, gnojidba i dr.). Već tada smo se udružili u istraživačke radove zahvaljujući uskoj suradnji sa šumarskom operativom, koja je velikim dijelom i financirala te radove.
Prezentirajući ovo saopćenje, želimo informirati o nekim rezultatima istraživanja ekoloških činilaca, o načinu uzgoja i o uspijevanju euroameričkih topola u regijama koje su bile predestinirane za uzgoj vrsta listača brzoga rasta.
Prilog proučavanju obnove i njege u sastojinama crnog i bijelog bora

Na osnovu Inventure šuma na velikim površinama, koja je u SR BiH provedena u periodu 1964-1968. godine, šume bijelog i crnog bora zauzimaju površinu od 86.003 ha, od koje otpada na društvene šume 81.994 ha i na gradjanske šume 4.009 ha. U odnosu na visoke šume u društvenoj svojini, udio bijelog i crnog bora nije velik i iznosi svega oko 8% od površine visokih šuma (Matić i dr.,1971). Areali ove dvije vrste drveća nisu kompaktni, jer su ove šume zauzele specifična staništa unutar zajednica klimaregionalnog karaktera na krečnjačko-dolomitnim planinama Dinari da i na peri dotitsko-serpentinskom području Bosne (Stefanovi ć i dr., 1975). Ove šume su većinom reliktnog karaktera i potiču iz post- glacijalnog perioda, kada su zauzimale znatno veće površine i kompaktnije areale. Na sužavanju areala imali su svoj uticaj čovjek i listopadna vegetacija, koja je zbog jače konkurentne sposobnosti potisnula borove na ekstremnija staništa (Stefanović i dr., 1975),
S obzirom na vrijednost drveta, borovi su se koristili na uobičajeni način korištenja u BiH - pojedinačno korišćenje stabala, koje je poznato pod imenom "stablimični prebor", iako sa prebornim gospodarenjem nema ničeg zajedničkog, osim što se stabla koriste pojedinačno (Alikalfić, 1971).
S obzirom na značaj ovih šuma i na težnju da se površine pod bijelim i crnim borom prošire i izvan prirodnog areala, a u želji da se sa ovim vrstama drveća gospodari na način koji bi najbolje odgovarao njihovim bioekološkim karakteristikama, te na njihov ekonomski značaj u šumarstvu Bosne i Hercegovine, kao i cjelokupne privrede, na nekoliko najtipičnijih primjera trebalo bi proučiti sastojine crnog bora, i na osnovu konstatiranog stanja odgovoriti na slijedeća pitanja:
1.Kakav treba da je glavni cilj proizvodnje u šumama crnog bora?
2.Na kojim staništima bi trebalo i dalje zadržati crni bor?
3.Koji načini gospodarenja odgovaraju najbolje crnom boru?
4.Koje vrste zahvata treba poduzimati u toku produkcionog perioda kako bi se ostvario postavljeni cilj?

Authors: Khadim Maryum , Safia Bano  , Ahsan Numan  
Published: July 2023

Background and Objective:
Sciatic nerve injury (SNI) is the second most common neuropathy of the lower extremities. The objective of this study was to find out the clinical spectrum and risk factors of SNI and to evaluate correlation between electrophysiological and clinical severity.
Methods:
In this cross-sectional study, 85 consecutive patients clinically diagnosed with sciatic neuropathy in the months of July 2022 to Dec 2022 who presented in department of Neurology, King Edward Medical University were examined electrophysiologically. Patients with polyneuropathy, plexopathy, radiaculopathy were excluded from the study. NCS & EMG were performed by conventional methods. Findings were noted in the predesigned pro forma along with history & demographic variables.
Results:
Out of total of 85 patients, 80% were males and 20% were females. Forty-three patients presented with traumatic injuries (49.4%), 34 patients had injection-induced nerve injury in gluteal region (40%), and remaining eight presented with history of hip surgeries (9.4%). Electrodiagnostic studies (EDX) revealed axonal damage in all the injuries. Peroneal division was predominantly involved in 55% of patients, and 26.6% had equal involvement of both the components. Common clinical presentations were sensory loss and foot drop. There was a moderate positive correlation between EDX and clinical severity (R = 0.65)
Conclusion:
SNI is not an uncommon in our setup and often remains under-reported. Common etiology of SNI was improper intramuscular injection in our study and pattern of injury was axonal in nature.

Authors: Machin Richard James , Allen Amy , Ellidge Dolores , Griffiths Louise , Sanders Jennifer 
Published: July 2023

This case study outlines the delivery and evaluation of a teaching and lecturing internship on an undergraduate Health and Social Care degree at a UK-based university.
Interns were recruited from the second and third years of the degree programme. Successful applicants were allocated an experienced academic mentor who they worked with on a module over a 12-week period. Following appropriate training interns completed 30-50 hours of teaching/teaching-related activities. There have been two cohorts to the internship; three students successfully completed from cohort one, and five from cohort two.
Internship evaluation was positive. Interns emphasised the importance of preparation before starting the internship and ongoing training and support. The academic mentor role is key to develop confidence and personal growth for interns. A key strength of the internship was the breadth of teaching-related opportunities that it offered. Interns developed a wide range of transferrable teaching-related skills and feel more work-ready.
This internship was delivered in a face-to-face teaching environment; in future the key features of the internship could be applied to a blended or online teaching environment. Given the success of this internship there is scope for its key features to be replicated across other degree courses both at the host university and at other higher education institutions.
The completion of two cohorts of the internship has led to the development of the TRENT model. The model, Training, Reflection, Education, Nurturing and Teaching draws together key components which were identified by interns and academic mentors as contributing to the success of the internship.

Published: July 2023

Exposures of the Morrison Formation (Jurassic) between Cuchillo Arroyo and Cuba, New Mexico include all the strata above the Todilto Formation (Jurassic) and below the Dakota Formation (Cretaceous). Four members recognized in the southern part of the area are, in ascending order: a lower member composed of reddish-brown and maroon-brown mudstone and gray, very fine-grained sandstone; the Westwater Canyon Member composed of cliff-forming, feldspathic sandstone; the Brushy Basin Member composed of red and green mudstone and sandstone interbeds; and, the upper member composed of whitish, kaolinitic sandstone, and minor amounts of green mudstone. In the northern part of the area only three members are present: the lower member, the Brushy Basin Member, and the upper member.The lower member contains beds correlative with the Summerville Formation and the Recapture Member of the Morrison Formation of the Laguna area. The Westwater Canyon Member is sandstone in the south but grades northward into mudstone similar to that in the Brushy Basin Member. The upper member correlates with the Jackpile sandstone (Jackpile orebearing bed) of the Laguna area on the basis of lithologic similarity and stratigraphic position.

Folk Media and Social Development: A Study on Bhaona and Chhau Performing Arts
Authors: Tamuli Padmaja , Mishra Kaushik 
Published: July 2023

With a major share of the world’s population residing in developing countries and about 70% of it residing in rural areas, mass media always had a wide scope to participate in and enhance social development and welfare programs. However high rate of illiteracy, poverty and limited access to mass media, etc. have posed a big challenge for mass media to permeate through lower strata of the society. Numerous studies reveal that these media do not have the necessary influence in terms of inspiring change and development.However, folk media has demonstrated its superiority in forging ties and fostering affinities in the communities as evident from studies done across the globe.
In this study we have aimed at studying the impact of two performing art styles- Bhaona and Chhau on social development. The ritualistic theatrical performances- Bhaona and Chhau, both having roots in Indian Mythology and folklore are integral part of the social construct of the Assamese and tribal communities of West Bengal and Odisha respectively. This study attempts to explore the cultural facets of the Bhaonaand Chhau through a variety of aesthetic fields. And further analyse how these folk media disciplines helped shape the societies in the past and how they may be preserved and applied to help a specific region grow in the future.
