Authors: Shehzad Muhammad Waleed , Hussain Ishtiaq , Akhtar Amer , Fatima Saadia 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The intended aim of this research was to identify the connection of Self-Efficacy Sources (SES) and Metacognitive Reading Strategies (MCRS) with Reading Comprehension (RC) by deploying reading Self-Efficacy Beliefs (SEB) as a mediating construct. A correlational design was utilized. Proportionate stratified random sampling was deployed to select a sample of 383 Saudi EFL university learners. Questionnaires and a reading comprehension test were employed to gather the data. Structural equation modelling was used to test the relationships. Results indicated that SES were substantially associated with SEB except physiological state. Moreover, all the three MCRS showed significant and positive association with SEB. Also, SEB were substantially associated with RC. Regarding mediation, it was discovered that SEB mediated the relationship among SES and RC except one source, i.e., physiological state. Moreover, SEB mediated the association between all the three MCRS and RC. This study provides several implications for learners, teachers, and policymakers.

Estilos de aprendizaje interculturales (sensibilidad intercultural) y modalidades en la carta argumentativa en estudiantes bilingües de licenciatura en lenguas modernas de una universidad colombiana y una francesa
Authors: Loaiza Villalba Neira , Ortiz Ruiz Claudia Elizabeth 
Published: January 2022

En el campo de las diferencias individuales y de la formación bilingüe, en particular de futuros profesores de lenguas extranjeras, los estilos de aprendizaje que los estudiantes despliegan en los procesos de aprendizaje de una segunda lengua son influenciados por la cultura propia en interacción con la cultura asociada a la lengua extranjera, configurando rasgos afectivos, psicológicos y cognitivos que, si bien son individuales, responden también a características culturales ligadas a su comunidad de origen. Son los estilos de aprendizaje interculturales (Leiva, 2015; Jiménez, 2004), concepto que reconoce aspectos socioculturales de los estilos de aprendizaje (Keefe, 1988), que en esta investigación, se centran en la sensibilidad intercultural como dimensión de la interculturalidad, asumida como habilidades sociales que el individuo podría desarrollar en contextos de contacto de lenguas y culturas (Chen y Starosta, 2000). En este sentido, la habilidad argumentativa escrita, tipología textual que predomina en la educación superior, es influenciada por los estilos de aprendizaje asociados a la sensibilidad intercultural, lo cual se refleja en las modalidades del discurso argumentativo (Gosselin, 2010). Es así como, desde las teorías del bilingüismo escolar y las ciencias del lenguaje, este estudio de caso cualitativo describe cómo los estilos de aprendizaje, ligados a la sensibilidad intercultural, se reflejan en la competencia argumentativa escrita bilingüe en términos de las modalidades discursivas en una carta argumentativa en L1 y L2 en estudiantes bilingües de licenciatura en lenguas modernas (francés y español LE) de dos universidades, una colombiana y una francesa. En general, los resultados muestran un perfil de estilo de aprendizaje en donde hay una presencia significativa del estilo reflexivo y del estilo verbal y un equilibrio entre lo sensorial y lo intuitivo, y entre lo secuencial y lo global. En cuanto a la sensibilidad intercultural, se evidencia una actitud favorable y neutra alta que facilita la interacción intercultural. A partir del análisis de retórica contrastiva intra e interindividual, se encuentra que las modalidades sobresalientes son la epistémica, la alética y la deóntica que validan las representaciones desde lo objetivo, lo subjetivo y/o lo institucional.

Published: January 2022

En el presente artículo se analiza la generación de aceite vegetal usado (AVU) en restaurantes y cafeterías de 30 barrios de la comuna 4 de Villavicencio Meta, y se plantean alternativas para el manejo adecuado y disposición final del residuo, mediante una investigación de tipo exploratoria-descriptiva, que permite identificar zonas de mayor generación del residuo, formas de conducta frente a la problemática estudiada, cantidad y frecuencia de generación y los hábitos de gestión del residuo, información que fue recolectada con la aplicación de una encuesta semiestructurada compuesta por 18 preguntas.
Los resultados indicaron que existe gran desconocimiento de las alternativas de gestión del residuo, adicional a esto, más del 40% de las unidades encuestadas son conscientes de los impactos ambientales causados al verter aceites a las fuentes hídricas o los daños a la salud que genera reutilizar esta sustancia, por otro lado teniendo en cuenta la visita a la corporación autónoma regional del Meta, y la recolección de información de fuentes secundarias y primarias, se pudo afirmar que existe un conjunto de regulaciones a nivel nacional e internacional que hablan de la importancia del desarrollo sostenible de manera imprecisa o vaga frente a lo que el aceite usado de cocina respecta, pero hace falta en el ámbito local la aplicación del principio para el adecuado manejo del aceite vegetal usado en Colombia, no hay normativa que busque el adecuado manejo del aceite vegetal usado y su potencial concreto como materia prima de otros productos, las alternativas actuales están basadas en las practicas informales de recolectores, no existe una estrategia municipal organizada que este enfocada en la gestión de este residuo peligroso.
Real-World Assessment of Weight Change in African American Females and Hispanics with HIV-1 After Initiating Integrase Strand-Transfer Inhibitors or Protease Inhibitors

Published: January 2022

Background: Studies have shown an increase in weight among people living with HIV (PLWH) who initiated integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI). However, weight gain with INSTI-based regimens vs other regimens in females or racial/ethnic minorities is poorly understood. Objective: This study assessed differences in weight gain among treatment-naïve, female, African Americans and Hispanics after initiating INSTI-based vs protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimens. Methods: This retrospective, observational cohort study included data from the Optum® deidentified Electronic Health Record Database. Female African Americans or Hispanics initiating INSTI- or PI-based regimens between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2018 (first prescription was index date), with ≥12-month baseline and follow-up periods, ≥1 weight measure during each period, and no prior antiretroviral (ARV) use were included. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to reduce selection bias and improve cohort comparability. Multivariable models were used to compare absolute weight/body mass index (BMI) changes and proportion of patients with weight/BMI increases from pre- to post-index (last measure between the 4th and 12th months post-index). Results: Weighted cohorts included 3407 African American females (INSTI, 1704; PI, 1703) and 3711 Hispanics (INSTI, 1865; PI, 1846) PLWH. Mean time to follow-up weight measure was ~9.5 months. Among female African Americans, INSTI initiators had a 1.5 kg greater mean weight gain (2.1 kg vs 0.6 kg; P = 0.033), and a higher proportion with ≥5% weight gain (32% vs 29%; odds ratio [OR]=1.2; 95% CI [1.0-1.4]) than PI initiators. Among Hispanics, INSTI and PI initiators had similar mean increases in weight (2.1 and 1.8 kg, respectively), but INSTI initiators had a higher proportion with ≥5% weight gain (31% vs 27%; OR=1.2; 95% CI [1.1-1.4]). Female African American INSTI initiators were more likely to shift from normal or overweight to a worse BMI classification. Hispanic INSTI initiators were less likely to shift from normal BMI to overweight but more likely to shift from normal or overweight to obese. Conclusion: In a real-world setting, INSTI-based regimens were associated with greater weight gain for treatment-naïve female African Americans, compared with PI-based regimens. Differences between regimens were less consistent for Hispanics. These results may inform ARV choice for PLWH who are at risk for ARV-related weight gain.
E-Government 4.0: Managing APIs as Facilitators for Digital Transformation
Authors: Trček Denis 
Published: January 2022

Digital transformation is, among others, notably driven by servitization, and consequently, IT artifacts called Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), together with disruptive technologies and innovations. In order to set up proper policies, the understanding of the above factors is essential, including their influences on value adding chains. This paper therefore provides an analysis of APIs developments together with their impacts on digital transformation. As they can affect organizations and even national economies at strategic level, appropriate management from a systemic perspective is justified, including e-Government initiatives. Further, APIs cannot be treated without their relations to disruptive technologies, innovations and value chains. Therefore, the advancements of theoretical understanding of evolution of value chains, and practical directions for e-government initiatives are given in this paper. In addition, an archetype model is developed that provides a basis for further research efforts in the area.

Education serves the purpose of cultivating the capacity to shape character and civilisation in a dignified manner to advance the nation's intellectual life. Social studies education is an affective domain subject because it teaches students to see knowledge in social interactions and to apply it directly in the community environment. This study compares students' social skills acquired through moral reasoning-based cooperative learning to those acquired through simulation-based cooperative learning in order to determine the effectiveness of simulation-based and moral reasoning-based cooperative learning in improving students' social skills, as well as the interaction between the two. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a comparative approach. The study was conducted in classes VIII A and VIII B, with 27 students and 26 students, respectively, at SMP N 27 Pesawaran, Lampung Province, Indonesia. The findings of this study indicate a significant difference in social skills between students taught using the Moral Reasoning cooperative learning model and students taught using the Simulation cooperative learning model in social studies subjects. Learning that employs the Moral Reasoning learning model is more effective than learning that employs the Simulation one.

Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study is examining the impact of meaningful learning model on students’ reading comprehension. This study uses true experimental research with pretest-posttest control group design. The class is divided into two classes; experimental class who receives treatments by using meaningful learning model and control class who receives treatments by using conventional teaching model. The total of sample is 110 students who are selected from eight grade students of junior high schools either state or private schools in Central Java Province. To obtain valid data, this study uses tests given at the pre-test and post-test in both classes. After the data is obtained, the data is analyzed by using the SPSS t-test formula. Based on the results of the calculations in the pretest and posttest, it was known that both classes are homogeneous and normally distributed from the calculation of the Levene’s test method and Saphiro-Wilk. In the pretest, t-count (0.452) is lower than t-table (1.982), whereas in the posttest, t-count (2.361) is higher than t-table (1.982). This indicates that meaningful learning model has an influence on student grades in reading comprehension rather than using conventional teaching model.

Abstract:
Introduction/Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected medical training worldwide. Many teaching and learning activities were replaced with online learning. The use of flipped classroom and game-based learning in teaching have been in trend recently.
Aim & Objectives: The objective of this report is to describe the experience of using flipped classroom in combination with game-based learning and to study the students’ feedback on their use.
Methods/Study Design: Flipped classroom combined with scenario-based Kahoot! quiz during the synchronised online teaching of medical ethics was tested on second year medical students.
Results/Findings: Based on their objective scoring and subjective feedback, almost all students agreed that the combination of flipped classroom and scenario-based Kahoot! quiz helped them understand the topics and achieve the learning outcomes. However, almost half of them were unsure whether they preferred the new methods over the traditional face-to-face lecture. Among the main problem for online learning was poor internet connection which interrupted their concentration and participation in class.
Discussion & Conclusion: As a conclusion, medical students were still sceptical whether flipped classroom and game-based learning were their preferred methods over the traditional face-to-face lecture. However, these combined methods were feasible to do during the pandemic and received good feedback from students. The main concern is the internet connection that may interrupt the running of the class.
