Principled Benefits: Student Perceptions of Teacher-Developed English for Academic Purposes Materials
Creators: name: Scott, Ronan
Publisher: name: BC TEAL Journal
Year: 2024

description: While there are a wide range of English for academic purposes (EAP) programs and plentiful teaching materials published for the EAP classroom, teachers still are faced with the task of developing their own materials as well as adapting materials created by others. Limited research has been carried out on the development and use of EAP materials, particularly in the Canadian context. This study was carried out to investigate student perceptions related to a set of EAP listening and speaking materials developed according to a set of principles grounded in research and theory related to how additional languages are taught and learned. EAP students used the materials as part of their regular classroom activities, and were then invited to take part in an online questionnaire and semi-structured interview. The data were coded and the codes gathered into themes related to students’ perceptions of the materials. The results point to improved listening skills, autonomy, interactions, speaking skills, motivation, video learning, cognitive skills, and relevance as key themes related to principle-informed and teacher-developed EAP materials. These themes underscore the importance of principles in materials development and provide a basis for future research related to writing materials for EAP students.

 One of the ticks of Micronesia with a relatively wide distribution is the swine tick, Amblyomma breviscutatum, reported from Palau, Guam, Northern Marianas Pohnpei, Kosrae, and the Marshalls. In has been found on pigs, cows, rats and humans (Prowazek 1913, Schulze 1935, Kohls 1957, Jackson 1962, Joyce 1971). This tick was confirmed in 2008 as still being present on Guam.

 The southern ocean bird tick, Amblyomma loculosum, was not reported by Kohls (1957). It has a wide distribution in the Indian Ocean and was collected on the red-footed booby (Sula sula), sooty tern (Sterna fuscata) and humans on Helen’s Reef of Palau. In other parts of its range, this tick has been found on many seabird species which are also known throughout Micronesia (Hoogstraal et al. 1976).

 When Kohls described the monitor lizard tick, Amblyomma squamosum, he considered it to be an endemic species found only on Guam and only on the mangrove monitor lizard (Varanus indicus) (Kohls 1953). No information beyond the original description and repetition thereof was found (Durden & Keirans 1996). Other lizards on Guam have suffered terrible decimation in recent years (United States Geological Survey 2005). If Amblyomma squamosum was actuality a parasite of more lizards than just the monitor, including one or more of the native and/or endemic lizards which early in the environmental upheaval of the last century were extirpated, this could possibly explain the lack of information about this tick (pers. comm. R. Robbins). Or it may be that it has escaped notice. Herpatologist Ronald Crombie (pers. comm.) observed ticks on monitor lizards and skinks of Guam and other Mariana Islands, as well as the Caroline Islands of Yap and Palau, but no identification was made of these parasites to know if these were the endemic Amblyomma squamosum or some other wider ranging monitor lizard tick or ticks.

 Kohls (1957) reports that in 1945, on Guam, one female of the seabird soft tick, Carios capensis. which was reared from a larva, and several other larvae of this wide-ranging soft tick were found from brown noddies (Anous stolidus). This species is closely related to the following cosmopolitan Carios denmarki and differentiation is best done only in the larval state. However, in Amerson’s report of the Central Pacific, (1968), additional Micronesian hosts were identified, primarily seabirds.

 Despite of the difficulty in differentiating Carios denmarki and the above C. capensis, Amerson (1968) said that this tick has “been found to be associated with sea birds breeding on islands in the Central Pacific region” when discussing easternmost Micronesia. He distinguished between and reported both of these soft tick species from various seabirds. The most common host reported was the ground nesting sooty tern (Sterna fuscata).

 Initially Ixodes amersoni was known from only two islands in the Phoenix Islands group of Kiribati, and only from the white tern (Gygis alba) and the red-footed booby (Sula sula) (Amerson 1968, wikipedia.org). However, its endemicity was never certain. Even following the discovery of the type specimens of Ixodes amersoni in the Phoenix Islands in 1966 as part of the Smithsonian’s extensive ecological survey of the Central Pacific, Amerson (1968) remarked that he figured that “in time it probably will be found on other islands of the southern Central Pacific area as well.” In 2006, as part of the preparation of the Phoenix Island Conversation Area, “Extensive searches for the tick, Ixodes amersoni, were completed on other Phoenix Islands (besides Enderbury and Rawaki), but the tick was not found” (Uwate & Teroroko 2007). However, this tick species has been found on the white-headed petrel (Pterodroma lessoni) on Kermadec Island (Heath et al. 2011).

 Another obscure tick, Ixodes eichhorni has been only documented a few times. The Micronesian record is from 1945, from a chicken on Peleliu, Palau was classified by Kohls as I. mindanensis, which previous to that find, had only been reported on an island thrush (Turdus poliocephalus) in Mindanao, Philippines. Thereafter, it was determined to be a synonym of I. eichhorni (Petney & Keirans 1994). That species had been collected initially from a human in New Guinea and an unspecified kingfisher in the Admiralty Islands (Nuttall 1916).

 The scrub tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, a livestock pest, has been found, on dogs in Kiribati (Saville 1999), and provisionally in Palau on cattle (Saville 1996). The latter record would seem certain as bovine theileriasis from Theilera orientalis (= buffeli) was also reported for Palau (Saville 1996). Although bovine theileriasis is not considered highly pathogenetic, this disease is only transmitted through infected ticks, and in the case of Palau, the likely vector being the scrub tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis. Elsewhere the scrub tick has been reported on a wide variety of mammals and some birds. It has implicated in various diseases in some areas, but even without any pathogen, a heavy infestation of this tick has been known to cause the death of its livestock host (Cane 2010).

description: Ixodes ornithorhynchi Lucus, 1846
 Kohls (1957) discounted the platypus tick, Ixodes ornithorhynchi, for Micronesia, and that seems correct. The 1899 report was from “Isle Marianne” (Rainbow 1906). If not referring to the Mariana Islands, but to the Australian island “Mary Anne,” it is still problematic because that island does not have the habitat for its host either. It would be interesting to re-examine the collected specimen to determine what actually was found. This tick is not included in the listing of Table 1.

description: Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini, 1888)
 The cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, is a widespread vector of livestock disease. Kohls (1957) considered it an early introduction into Micronesia. In 2008, this tick was collected in vast numbers from Philippine deer (Cervus mariannus) and in far lesser numbers from a pet carabao (Bubalus bubalis), both on Guam. Some earlier reports on Micronesia tell of the presence of another cattle tick, Margaropus annulatus or Boophilus annulatus (now Rhipicephalus) (Barber 1916, Alicata 1948). Kohls (1957), however, discounted those accounts as misidentifications of the above species, and hence the latter tick is not included in Table 1.

 The brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus is probably the tick which the public in Micronesia is most familiar. Kohls (1957) reported it on dogs on Guam, Saipan and Kiribati. Previous to this, Schnee (1904) reported it from cattle in the Marshalls. It is known to be a pest of a wide array of animals. Over fifty years ago, Kohls (1957) considered this tick to be “nearly cosmopolitan.”
  Unidentified species from sea krait (Laticauda colubrina)
 In their work on Palau, Crombie & Pregill (1999) mention that the sea krait “ Laticauda must come ashore to lay eggs (unlike the live-bearing sea snakes) and they often spend enough time on land to accumulate ticks.” In personal communication with Crombie, he said that he had also found ticks associated with this species of sea snake when it hauled out on land but no identification of the ticks had been made. Although the ticks of sea snakes are poorly studied, other reports tell of Amblyomma (Aponomma) fimbriatum and Amblyomma nitidum, wide ranging ticks, known from this reptile (Rageau & Vervent 1959, Hoogstraal 1982, Voltzit & Keirans 2002, Easton 2003, Nadchatram 2006). None of the other species of ticks reported for Micronesia were found to be associated with sea snakes.
Through the compilation of previous studies, it was found that twenty-nine species of vertebrate hosts are known have been reported as having ticks in Micronesia. These are listed in Table 2.
As with insects, the natural dispersal of ticks is undoubtedly “quite fortuitous,” (Gressitt & Yoshimoto 1963). Therefore, there is reason to suspect and speculate that the species listed in Table 1 are probably not the only ticks to be found in the area if a careful search were to be undertaken at this time. In extensive studies of Arno Atoll in the Marshall Islands, which documented many other ectoparasites of both animals and humans, no ticks were reported (Usinger & La Rivers 1953). On a recent visit, however, residents there were quite familiar with ticks.

description: In this chapter Laurie Spiegel, a pioneer of algorithmic logic in music composition, considers various reasons to use algorithms, including their function as descriptors, generators and adjuncts to creative musical practises. Self-simulation (notably, of decision making processes) is juxtaposed against the sonification of external information and various other uses of algorithms are also described. Human input may be minimal or extensive for the logic used to specify parameters of individual sonic events, variations in global informational entropy, inherent structuring or to achieve variation of material. Spiegel values algorithms particularly to allow her to ‘inhabit the state of flow’ of music by freeing her to focus on selected aspects of composing while handing off other aspects to automated procedures. The chapter includes descriptions of the kinds of uses of algorithmic logic that have contributed to the composition of specific musical works.

Year: 2024

description: Having the intercultural communication skills required to navigate diverse communities is imperative, especially for international students. English for academic purposes (EAP) programs are one support offered in a wide range of contexts across post-secondary institutions in Canada to help students use English as an additional language (EAL) with their socialization into their new communities. However, there has been a lacuna in the research regarding how to meaningfully deliver intercultural communication outcomes in crowded EAP curricula. Drawing on a theoretical framework involving literature on EAP in Canada, additional language socialization, and intercultural communicative competence, this qualitative study presented the pedagogical strategies and implications of using online asynchronous intercultural learning outcomes in an EAP program in British Columbia, Canada. Data were generated from online questionnaires, student e-portfolios, focus groups, and individual interviews with students and graduate teaching assistant participants. Identified meaningful units of text in the data were coded, and the codes were gathered together into overarching and supporting themes. The findings point to the benefits of leveraging online platforms to find space for intercultural learning outcomes in EAP and key imperatives for delivery.

description: Aristolochia gigantea (Aristolochiaceae), commonly known as the Brazilian Dutchman’s pipe, is cultivated globally as an ornamental vine, admired for the unique shape of its large flowers. In our ongoing research into the chemical composition of A. gigantea, the ethanol extract from its seeds was fractionated using chromatographic techniques, resulting in the isolation and identification of allantoin, along with the lignans kobusin, eudesmin, and methylarctigenin. The fractions were further analysed by NMR and GC − EI/MS, employing a molecular networking approach and retention index comparison, which led to the annotation of four sterols, eleven aliphatic alcohols, one saturated fatty acid, two unsaturated fatty acids, ten esters of saturated fatty acids, ten esters of unsaturated fatty acids, and one lactone.

description: The objective of the research was to evaluate the in vitro biological activity in relation to the chemical composition of essential oils extracted from twenty-nine plants growing in northeastern Peru. The essential oils were extracted by hydrodistillation; antibacterial activity on Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteritidis and Escherichia coli was evaluated; antioxidant capacity by DPPH, FRAP and ABTS assays and phenolic compounds by the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Chemical characterization was performed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and an evaluation of the extraction yield was carried out in two seasons of the year. Extraction yields varied between 0.04 and 1.50% differentiated by species, with greater seasonal variation in the rainy season. The chemical compounds identified included monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, alcohols, among others. All the essential oils showed low activity against E. coli and S. enteritidis, while against S. aureus they exhibited low, medium and high activities; where the essential oils of Piper amalogo, Piper glabribaccum, Tesaria integrifolia and Magnolia jaenensis exhibited high activities. For antioxidant activity, the essential oils of T. integrifolia, Piper aduncum, Magnolia Manguillo, M. jaenensis and P. glabribacum obtained high values. Concluding that the essential oils with the best biological performance are T. integrifolia, M. jaenensis and P. glabribaccum.

Ludwik Flecks Monographie Entstehung und Entwicklung einer wissenschaftlichen Tatsache ist die wohl erste soziologische Untersuchung der Produktion wissenschaftlichen Wissens (vgl.Schäfer/Schnelle 2021, VII ff). Zirkulationen von Ideen und sozialen Praktiken und die aus ihnen resultierende unbewusste stilgemäße Konditionierung von Wahrnehmung, Denken und Handeln der Forscher werden in diesem Werk als Denkstile bezeichnet (vgl. Werner/Zittel 2011, 10). In dieser Arbeit wurde den Fragen nachgegangen, inwieweit es jurifizierte Darstellungsformen medizinischen Wissens und einen jurifizierten ärztlichen Denkstil im Kontext der Unfallchirurgie gibt. Jurifizierung umfasst hierbei Formen eines rigidisierten Sozialverhaltens, eines starren Formalismus, den Rückzug auf formale Legalität hinsichtlich der Kalkulation zwischenmenschlicher Beziehungen ausschließlich auf eine spätere Beurteilung durch ein Gericht unter Vernachlässigung anderer sozialer Dimensionen (vgl. Loick 2016, 12f). Im Ergebnis zeigt sich Folgendes: Wissenssoziologisch und -analytisch betrachtet, finden sich beispielhaft in Operationsaufklärungsformularen, Operationsberichten und auch kontexterweiternd in anderen Darstellungsformen juridistische Einflüsse und Überformungen. Eine verrechtlichte, intellektuelle Stimmung manifestiert sich dabei durch Formulierungen und Redewendungen. Ein verfestigter jurifizierter Denkstil entsteht in der lebensweltlichen Praxis durch Performanz durch Einübung.

Pro futuro dienen die Ausführungen dazu, diesen wissenschaftstheoretischen Aspekt weiter bewusst zu machen und näher zu untersuchen. Borck weist auf die Analyse Ian Hackings hin: Humanwissenschaftliche Kategorien sind interaktiv, sie geraten in Wechselwirkung mit dem, was mit ihnen erfasst werden soll. (vgl. Borck 2016, 131f):  Epistemologisch stellt sich dann die Frage, ob es so etwas wie jurifiziertes Wissen im Sinne eines Wissensjuridismus, der Begriff wird hier erstmals geprägt, geben kann. Gerichtsgutachterinnen und -gutachter rekurrieren in eigenem Ermessen auf diverseste Wissensbestände. Könnte es da zu erheblichen Interaktionen mit der medizinischen Scientific Community kommen und wenn ja, mit welchen Folgen?

Hierbei wäre es zukünftig interessant, genau diese Wechselwirkungen und Interaktionen in Hinblick von Medizin und Juridismus subtiler zu analysieren.

In dieser Arbeit wurde den Fragen nachgegangen, inwieweit es jurifizierte Darstellungsformen medizinischen Wissens und einen jurifizierten ärztlichen Denkstil im Kontext der Unfallchirurgie gibt. Jurifizierung umfasst hierbei Formen eines rigidisierten Sozialverhaltens, eines starren Formalismus, den Rückzug auf formale Legalität hinsichtlich der Kalkulation zwischenmenschlicher Beziehungen ausschließlich auf eine spätere Beurteilung durch ein Gericht unter Vernachlässigung anderer sozialer Dimensionen (vgl. Loick 2016, 12f). Im Ergebnis zeigt sich Folgendes: Wissenssoziologisch und -analytisch betrachtet, finden sich beispielhaft in Operationsaufklärungsformularen, Operationsberichten und auch kontexterweiternd in anderen Darstellungsformen juridistische Einflüsse und Überformungen. Eine verrechtlichte, intellektuelle Stimmung manifestiert sich dabei durch Formulierungen und Redewendungen. Ein verfestigter jurifizierter Denkstil entsteht in der lebensweltlichen Praxis durch Performanz durch Einübung.

Pro futuro dienen die Ausführungen dazu, diesen wissenschaftstheoretischen Aspekt weiter bewusst zu machen und näher zu untersuchen. Borck weist auf die Analyse Ian Hackings hin: Humanwissenschaftliche Kategorien sind interaktiv, sie geraten in Wechselwirkung mit dem, was mit ihnen erfasst werden soll. (vgl. Borck 2016, 131f):  Epistemologisch stellt sich dann die Frage, ob es so etwas wie jurifiziertes Wissen im Sinne eines Wissensjuridismus, der Begriff wird hier erstmals geprägt, geben kann. Gerichtsgutachterinnen und -gutachter rekurrieren in eigenem Ermessen auf diverseste Wissensbestände. Könnte es da zu erheblichen Interaktionen mit der medizinischen Scientific Community kommen und wenn ja, mit welchen Folgen?Hierbei wäre es zukünftig interessant, genau diese Wechselwirkungen und Interaktionen in Hinblick von Medizin und Juridismus subtiler zu analysieren.

description: This letter is part of a series of courtship correspondence between Jonathan Abbatt and Mary Dilworth (later Abbatt). The Abbatt family was a Quaker family who lived in the towns and villages of Preston, Ribchester, and Garstang in Lancashire, England. The letters chronicle the courtship, discussions of faith, local events, shared sentiments, etc. Mary sometimes addressed as Polly in the letters. Please note that the months on the letters’ dates were added as numerical values rather than the month's name (e.g. 2 Mo = February). Mary responds to Jonathan telling her that Morrison doesn't associate with him anymore, She is sure they will manage to continue without him. She tells him she is okay with them changing their wedding date as they had not really decided on anything beforehand. She adds that if they really have affection for each other, then they should be able to wait. She responds to Jonathan's mention about her age, and we learn that they are both the same age (25 years old).

description: α-Glucosidase inhibitory assay-guided isolation of the aqueous extract from Cannabis sativa leaves afforded three new compounds named cannabisaldehyde (8), cannacone A (9), and canniprene C (10), along with eight previously known compounds (1-7, 11). The structures of new compounds were determined through extensive analysis of various spectroscopic data. Of isolated compounds, cannacone A (9) demonstrated most potent inhibition against maltase and sucrase with IC50 values of 80.0 and 82.9 μM, respectively. Cannacone A (9) inhibited both maltase and sucrase by competitive mechanism.

description: The article examines concerns related to digitalization among young people, focusing on the risks they perceive in connection with the development of new technologies and digital transformation in Poland.

Our unpublished research on sentiment toward digitalization in Poland, submitted to the Contemporary Economics journal, revealed that artificial intelligence is the primary concern among the population. Therefore, in this article, we focused exclusively on Polish university students to assess whether these concerns are shared by young, educated individuals with significant experience in utilizing information and communication technologies.

The literature review was employed to identify the risks associated with the digital transformation and related fears expressed by individuals. The research also sought to identify factors influencing concerns about digitalization among young people in Poland. The study included a survey conducted among students from Poland, aiming to explore respondents' fears related to digitalization. The survey covered topics such as online privacy, personal data security, and issues of artificial intelligence development.

The findings revealed a statistically significant concern among young people, primarily focused on the development of artificial intelligence and the associated risks of job scarcity or loss due to the progression of digitalization.

Conclusions from the study indicate that although young people may have different priorities and problems related to digitalization, their concerns largely overlap, particularly in terms of privacy and job loss. The study highlighted the importance of digital education, which would allow young people to use technology more safely and consciously. In conclusion, the article emphasizes that young people are aware of risks associated with digitalization, concerning privacy, and online safety, as well as risk associated with the development of artificial intelligence.

description: This session explores alternative funding models for Open Access books that seek to maximise diversity and inclusion, by moving beyond the standard BPC-based approaches. Book Processing Charges favour wealthier institutions and academics and those whose research funding is already secure. This defeats the goal of Open Access to maximise access and contribution to academic research, and it stultifies academic fields. Alternative approaches are needed to broaden the ability of scholars from less privileged institutions to access research, and to publish books Open Access. This session will showcase the COPIM Project’s work in making these alternative approaches a reality. Speakers will present on three strands of our work, beginning with an overview of the Open Book Collective (OBC) – a non-profit, community-governed platform and organisation that will facilitate the exchange of information and funding between OA book publishers, infrastructure providers, and libraries. The OBC embodies the benefits and values of collaboration over competition in OA publishing. We’ll also highlight Thoth, an open metadata management and dissemination system tailored to tackle the problems of getting Open Access works into the (closed) book supply chain and library catalogues. Finally, we’ll discuss our innovative funding model Opening the Future as an example of how mutually supportive collaborations between publishers and libraries can unlock OA for books to the benefit of all. The presentations will be followed by audience discussion of the different funding models that libraries and library publishers have explored, collective or otherwise, including benefits and drawbacks. As more schemes and partnerships emerge, libraries will increasingly need to be able to navigate and assess OA options more simply, and with policy changes on the horizon, publishers will need to explore their OA choices. Our session promises to tease out these important discussions from all stakeholders in the library and publishing communities.

description: Two new phytoecdysteroids, (24Z)-20,26-dihydroxy-24(28)-dehydro-28-methyl-ecdysone (1), (24Z)-22,25-epoxy-2,3,14,20-tetrahydroxyergosta-7,24(28)-dien-28-methyl-6-one (2), together with eleven known compounds (3 − 13) were isolated from the whole plant of Tournefortia sibirica L. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS and compared with data from the literature. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on NO, TNF-α and IL-6 production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Among them, compounds 6, 7, 9, and 10 showed anti-inflammatory effects against NO, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels with IC50 values ranging from 30.44 ± 2.10 to 66.88 ± 2.32 μM.

description: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) produces annual 10-year projections for the food and agriculture sector that cover major agricultural commodities, agricultural trade, and aggregated indicators of the U.S. farm sector. These projections are published in an annual report, with the most recent being USDA Agricultural Projections to 2031. Also, the Economic Report of the President includes these projections and has a direct impact on policy decisions. These 10-year projections are called the “baseline.” The USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) maintains a stand-alone livestock baseline model, which characterizes the relationships among livestock production and the market conditions for related animal products for cattle/beef, hogs/pork, chicken, and turkey. This bulletin outlines the equations used to create the livestock baseline. These equations were used in the creation of the 2031 baseline report.

description: The COVID-19 outbreak in Europe has brought attention to EU health policy as a focal point for solidarity, particularly as it concerns access to medicines. Against the backdrop of policy proposals for EU joint procurement of medicines, this article expands our understanding of public opinion towards this particular aspect of European integration. Drawing on data from a conjoint experiment in five EU countries, the study investigates the extent to which citizens’ preferences concerning alternative policy designs for EU joint procurement of medicines are either structured along a pro-EU versus anti-EU or ideological divide, or are crisis driven by the perceived COVID-19 threat. The analysis reveals that individual preferences over the design of EU risk pooling for medicines are most strongly explained by Euroscepticism, while egalitarian ideology plays only a modest role. How citizens’ perceived threat of COVID-19 affects their preferences for this form of EU risk pooling is dependent on the national context.
