Abstract

Context
National licensing exams (NLEs) including the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX) Level 1 evaluate student achievement. Scores have historically been utilized to stratify medical student applicants for residency. Grade point average (GPA), number of practice questions completed, and performance on practice exams have been shown to be predictive of NLE performance. Test anxiety and acute stress have been shown to negatively impact NLE performance. The role of study behaviors and other nonacademic factors in COMLEX Level 1 performance is unknown.

Objectives
This study aims to evaluate academic and nonacademic factors and to correlate them with COMLEX Level 1 performance. Additional analysis is conducted to associate COMLEX Level 1 performance with academic and nonacademic factors when controlling for GPA.

Methods
An anonymous online survey was administered to third- (OMS III) and fourth-year (OMS IV) osteopathic medical students at Kansas City University that had completed the COMLEX Level 1 examination. In total, 72 students responded to the survey. Survey results were linked to student records of GPA and COMLEX Level 1 scores, resulting in 59 complete responses for analysis. Independent-sample t-tests and linear ordinary least squares regression were utilized to analyze the results.

Results
The majority of participants are male (62.7%) and OMS III (98.3%) with an average age of 27.14 ± 2.58 (mean ± standard deviation). Further demographic data reveal hours per week spent for personal time during dedicated study (n=46, 19.7 ± 18.53), hours of sleep per night during dedicated study (7.34 ± 0.92), and money spent on board preparation ($1,319.12 ± $689.17). High ($1,600–$3,000), average ($1,000–$1,500), and low ($100–$900) spenders do not statistically differ and COMLEX Level 1 performance is not related to the number of resources utilized (F statistics <1; p>0.05). Pearson correlations reveal a statistically significant relationship between COMLEX Level 1 scores with GPA (0.73, p<0.001), number of practice exams completed (0.39, p<0.001), number of questions completed (0.46, p<0.001), number of weeks of study (0.55, p<0.001), and preparation cost (0.28, p<0.05). The regression analysis revealed that money spent on board preparation, number of questions completed, and time spent studying accounted for 75.8% of the variance in COMLEX Level 1 scores after controlling for GPA.

Conclusions
The data show the association of money spent on board preparation, numbers of questions competed, and time spent studying with a student’s COMLEX Level 1 score. Additionally, these results highlight the amount of money students spend on extracurricular materials to prepare for COMLEX Level 1, yet the data show that the number of resources that students utilized is not related to a student’s COMLEX Level 1 performance.
Body Hacking and Conceptions of Corporeality
Authors: Jael Morghen 
Published: January 2022

This paper is the culmination of my independent research into the phenomenon of "body hacking": DIY techno-body modification that typically involves the surgical embedding of electronic or computing devices into the body. Body hackers are operating largely within a transhumanist vision (body hacing to improve and/or transcend the self or the human condition) and outside of traditional medical institutions. My paper addresses conceptions of the hacked body, including the deliberate and physical transition into "cybrog" and the blurred line of "humanness" that comes from a surgical merge with technology. I focus on the perspectives on corporeality that come from body hackers themselves; I find that there are varying opinions within the body hacking community on the value of the material body. Many body hackers aim to transcend or render obsolete the physical body - in search of a more enlightened or convenient existence, for example - but others see body hacking as a practice that makes them more human. Many body hackers see the physical human condition as a very limited one that is in need of improvement. My paper explores these perspectives and presents a nuanced picture of the modern body hacking philosophy, as a fascinating example of the interface between materiality/coroporeality and technology.
The Premises of Historical Narrative in Augustine’s De civitate Dei
Authors: Tamošaitis Mantas 
Published: January 2022

The article examines the problems of history and historical narrative in St. Augustine’s De civitate Dei. The author seeks to reveal the problematic nature of Augustine’s conception of history in the opposition of cyclical and linear conceptions of time. Augustine’s reflection on the phenomenon of history from the perspective of Christian philosophy creates the basis for a modern linear conception of time and history. It is argued that Augustine should be seen as a philosopher-theologian of history, whose thinking on the subject is based on teleological principles and his philosophy of time. It is argued that Augustine’s thinking about history is based on the concept of historia sacra and must be evaluated in the light of the constant distinction between historia sacra and what might be called historia profana or historia saecularis. Since the objectives of historia sacra cannot be realised in earthly life, political transformations in secular history have no eschatological significance. However, Augustine’s conception of history is not cyclical, but has a clear beginning, end, direction and purpose (meaning), which distinguishes its premises from the Greco-Roman conception of history, and it is thus close to the modern conception of history. For Augustine, the coming of Christ is a new and singular event in history, negating any cyclical nature of history and defining the time in which Augustine lived.

Authors: Juchnevičienė Nijolė 
Published: January 2022

The present article gives a survey of R. Mironas academic career based upon archive material kept in the Vilnius university library and in the Martynas Mažvydas National Library. R. Mironas’ egodocuments are published for the first time. They help to understand the contemporary situation in the institutions of high education and the constant ideological constraint felt by the academic staff.R. Mironas is the only one among the Lithuanian classicists whose name is rarely spoken, according to the dictum nil, nisi bene. It is not much written about him untill the present day, in spite of the fact that Mironas was one of of the most gifted and colourful personalities. He is regarded as one of the beginners of the Oriental studies in Lithuania. R. Mironas was born to an outstanding family; none of his colleagues could make a similar boast. After the Russian occupation he did not leave Lithuania like most of the Lithuanian intellectuals and in 1944 started teaching at Kaunas university. He made his choice to become a social climber from the very beginning of the occupation. He made a spectacular academic caree due to his ability to adapt to the ideological requirements and to easily change his creed on demand.

Self-addressed questions and honorifications: The case of Japanese daroo-ka/desyoo-ka
Authors: Chang Chen-An 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Japanese self-addressed questions (SAQs) are either marked with SAQ question particles (i.e. kana, yara) or marked with modals daroo or desyoo. The present paper argues that the pragmatic profile of Japanese SAQs should not be limited to solitary contexts. The paper presents an experiment examining whether daroo-ka/desyoo-ka can be perceived as SAQs in the accompanied contexts. The results of the experiment indicate that Japanese SAQs can be felicitously uttered in the presence of a second (socially higher) person. Apart from the experimental study, this paper also presents a pilot study of comparing daroo-ka questions and plain information-seeking questions (i.e. those without daroo-ka) in urgent situation contexts. The preliminary results shed light on the fact that Japanese native speakers interpret daroo-ka questions as canonical questions in the performance of indirect speech acts.

Wayfinding in spatially complex public transit environments poses unique navigational challenges. Transfers, delays, barriers, and user capacity all influence the usability of a system. Because of the smartphone, how we navigate through these systems, and interact with the surrounding environment, is changing. The smartphone provides a spatio-temporal strategy that removes the reliance on our immediate environment and personalizes the wayfinding process -- unlike that of transit schedules, signs, and maps. How does smartphone usage influence performance and the wayfinding experience? This paper looks at smartphone usage of twelve participants through a shadowed commented walk, known as a Destination-Task Investigation, in Munich’s public transit system. The study provides insights into the role and the influence of smartphones during the wayfinding process. Furthermore, it shows that Apps providing integrated spatio-temporal information, such as Google, were used most frequently, especially for confirmation during navigation.

Teaching oral English through technology: Perceptions of teachers in Nigerian secondary schools
Authors: Adelana Owolabi Paul 
Published: January 2022

English Language learners in Nigeria mostly find Oral English difficult to understand but technology is now supportive. However, being a dynamic language, the English Language is constantly evolving and so are the technologies used in its teaching. This study, therefore, intends to re-examine teachers’ current perceptions towards technology usage in teaching Oral English. The study was descriptive. The sample comprised 215 teachers to whom an instrument titled “Teachers’ Current Perceptions of Teaching Oral English through Technology Questionnaire (TCPTOETQ)”, was administered. Six research questions were formulated and answered using Mean, Standard Deviation, One-Way ANOVA, and t-test. The result showed that the teachers currently have positive perceptions towards the use of technologies in teaching Oral English. It was therefore recommended that stakeholders in education provide continuous training for English Language teachers for continuous adaptation to the changing landscapes of technology usage in teaching Oral English.

Keywords: English Teachers; Oral English; Perceptions Technology; Secondary Schools; Nigeria.

Konsep Syura dan Demokrasi dalam Wacana Kontekstual: Studi Terhadap Pemikiran Kontekstual Abdullah Saeed
Authors: Akbar Taufik 
Published: January 2022

<p>The discourse on democracy and all its variants, including the term shura, is an issue that is never obsolete in the study of the Qur'an. In the last few decades, Muslim scholars have begun to see the issue of shura as a discourse that must be read more widely along with the changing times. Therefore, Muslim scholars created a modern generation to respond to the concept of shura in a new social, political, economic and cultural context, especially with the contextuality method of the Qur'an. One of the figures applying the concept of shura is Abdullah Saeed, a contemporary thinker who introduced the study of the Qur'an through a contextual approach. Abdullah Saeed tries to revisit the term shura through two groups of interpretations, namely pre-modern interpretations such as al-Thabari, Zamakhsari, al-Razi and al-Qurtubi, and the interpretation that follows by quoting the work of Sayyid Abul A'la al - Maududi and Sayyid Qutb. This paper intends to further explore Abdullah Saeed's opinion on the term shura after conducting an in-depth study of the two groups of interpreters. This paper also attempts to provide a 'critical' note on the thoughts put forward by Abdullah Saeed by comparing them with other contemporary thinkers.</p><p> </p><p>Diskursus tentang demokrasi dan segala macam variannya, salah satunya adalah term <em>syura,</em> merupakan isu yang tidak pernah usang dalam studi al-Qur’an. Beberapa dekade terakhir, para cendekiawan Muslim mulai memandang isu <em>syura </em>sebagai wacana yang harus dibaca lebih luas seiring perubahan zaman. Oleh karena itu, para kelompok cendekiawan Muslim generasi modern cenderung untuk menafsirkan ulang konsep <em>syura</em> dalam konteks sosial, politik, ekonomi, dan budaya, khususnya dengan menyoroti metode kontekstual penafsiran al-Qur'an. Salah satu aktor yang berperan dalam usaha untuk menafsirkan ulang konsep <em>syura </em>ini adalah Abdullah Saeed, salah seorang pemikir kontemporer yang mengenalkan kajian al-Qur’an melalui pendekatan kontekstual. Melalui pendekatan kontekstualnya, Abdullah Saeed mencoba membaca ulang term <em>syura </em>ini melalui dua kelompok penafsiran, yaitu interpretasi pra-modern seperti al-Thabari, Zamakhsari, al-Razi dan al-Qurtubi, dan interpretasi yang ada setelahnya dengan mengutip karya Sayyid Abul A’la al-Maududi dan Sayyid Qutb. Tulisan ini bermaksud untuk mengekplorasi lebih jauh tentang pandangan Abdullah Saeed terhadap term <em>syura</em> setelah melakukan kajian secara mendalam terhadap dua kelompok penafsir tersebut.
