Emotional eating is the act of eating to cope with stress and pressure, and it is assumed that this behavior increases as the level of self-control decreases. Several factors, including anxiety about winning and fear of injury, can cause stress in athletes. An athlete's high mental toughness is closely related to their ability to easily cope with such stress factors. It is still a matter of curiosity how negative psychological factors affect emotional eating in athletes with low mental toughness. This study investigated the relationship between emotional eating and mental toughness in female wrestlers. Emotional Eating Questionnaire and Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire were applied to 69 female wrestlers. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, T-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation tests. It was found that the participants were low emotional eaters and accepted all of the mental toughness sub-dimensions. There was a significant difference in emotional eating total score and &quot;disinhibition&quot; score according to nationality status (p&lt;0.05). The findings suggested a positive and significant relationship between sub-dimensions of emotional eating and sub-dimensions of mental toughness (p&lt;0.05). It was concluded that national female wrestlers tended to eat more emotionally than non-national athletes and had more difficulty preventing the urge to eat. As female wrestlers' mental toughness levels increased, they tended to eat emotionally and felt guilty about eating.

The aim of this research is to determine the influence of students' English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classroom anxiety and self-efficacy on their achievement. The research is exploratory, based on a quantitative approach and systematic non-experimental observation. The research results show that ESP self-efficacy is negatively correlated with classroom anxiety. ESP achievements are positively related to self-efficacy, and accordingly they show that some students are aware that they can, while others are aware that they cannot. Thus, the statistical significance of the relationship between ESP self-efficacy and achievement gives the advantage of self-efficacy as a predictor of success. Gender is only related to achievement, with female respondents achieving slightly higher grades. There were no significant differences between those who resided and those who did not reside in English-speaking countries. It is concluded that students should be educated to be realistic and objective in self-assessment. The meta-cognitive ability for realistic self-assessment should be developed in students because in the process of increasing self-regulation of learning, the value of personality is reflected in the self-efficacy pattern.

Multiple representations cultivate students' mathematical mindset. However, research results have reported that students do not benefit from these tools due to lack of representational fluency. This study was designed to determine the impact of GeoGebra assisted multiple representations approach on students' representation translation performance in calculus. Pretest - posttest quasi experimental design was implemented. Three intact groups of first year first semester of social science students in the 2019/2020 academic year of size 53, 57 and 54 at Jigjiga and Kebri-Dehar Universities in Ethiopia were considered. The groups were taught with GeoGebra supported multiple representations (MRT), multiple representations (MR) and comparison group (CG). Representation translation test was given before and after the treatment. Furthermore, students' translation errors were categorized as implementation, interpretation and preservation errors and analyzed using frequency and percentage. The ANCOVA result revealed that significant difference was obtained on the adjusted mean of RTF posttest (F (2,160) = 5.29, P = 0.006, Partial [eta][superscript 2] =0.062) in favor of the MRT. The interpretation error was the most frequently committed among the groups. Recommendations were forwarded that included the use of GeoGebra and the need to conduct further study with different participants to generalize to the entire population.

This study aims to evaluate the responses of primary school children to the pandemic, based on the statements of their parents. In the study, the descriptive survey model was used. The study group consists of parents whose children attend a private primary school in the province of Manisa, Turkey. The 'General Information Form' and the 'Children's Response to the Pandemic Scale' were used for data collection in the study. In the data analysis, the t-test was used. As a result of the study, it was found that responses of the children whose parents aged 36 and over, who had an undergraduate degree and above, and whose families had three or more children were perceived as riskier according to their fathers. It was found that the presence of a COVID-19 history in the family and the presence of individuals who have died due to COVID-19 negatively affect the behavior of children during the pandemic. The male children were found to be more affected by the pandemic than female children. In this context, in order to support the healthy development of children, training programs can be planned and implemented to inform families about the disease and bereavement process in order to be able to support the healthy development of children.

With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, online education has been embraced as an instructional delivery mode to ensure continuity in all levels of education including higher education. Given the fact that the success of online learning heavily relies on the learner's ability to autonomously regulate their learning, this study focuses on self-regulatory behaviors of tertiary level EFL learners enrolled in an online intensive language preparatory program. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered to explore learners' perceived levels of online self-regulation; the predictive role of online learning self-efficacy beliefs in their self-regulation; and the strategies they used to regulate their learning in online education. Findings revealed learners' moderate level of online self-regulation predicted by their self-efficacy beliefs. Moreover, EFL learners used a variety of strategies to regulate their learning before, during and after synchronous online classes.

Advertising towards children confirms the importance of marketing communication, as they are important for companies that offer a range of products and services. We study the influence of advertising messages from traditional media on different children's age groups, via the observed branded products and the examined credibility of advertisements, seen through the children's eyes. In total, 481 pupils from two primary schools, aged 9-12, participated in the research. We find that children over the age of ten recognise the persuasive influence of the media. Also, the findings indicate that the number of children who like to follow advertisements decreases with age. In addition, comparing the advertising message and real life can lead a child to overall dissatisfaction. An optimistic 75% of the answers favour the fact that children do not believe everything shown in the advertisement forwarded to them.

This exploratory mixed method research aimed to develop parent and child forms of a scale to measure parents' practices to reward and punish their children. For the qualitative strand, semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents (n = 54) and their children (n = 39). The qualitative analysis revealed four major themes regarding parental rewarding practices (material rewards, activity-based rewards, permission, and verbal and emotional rewards) and three major themes regarding parental punishment practices (response cost, verbal and emotional punishment, and corporal punishment), which were used to develop two sets of prospective items. At the quantitative strand, EFA and CFA analysis were performed using data obtained from a total of 701 parents and 620 children to test the psychometric properties. As a result of the research, both Parent (PRPS-P) and Child (PRPS-C) forms of Parental Reward and Punishment Scale (PRPS) were developed for use at the K-12 level with favorable psychometric properties.

In this article, we discuss the need for a new digital literacy among language students, namely a literacy in relation to the use of machine translation (MT): MT literacy, following Bowker and Buitrago Ciro (2019). This article does not focus on translation students who, due to the demands of the translation market, have already received a lot of attention from researchers. Rather, we focus on undergraduate language students, and argue that because of their massive use of free online translators--either to translate or to read and write in the language they are learning--instructors need to include a discussion on such tools. We argue that this discussion should include technical and ethical considerations, with a focus on how to ensure that students are able to use MT critically, identifying and correcting errors, for future professional use. Finally, we discuss the thorny issue of evaluation for this type of digital literacy. The discussion is based on several experiments conducted with undergraduate students enrolled in their final year of a three-year program in applied languages. We also believe that the teaching of such skills should not be restricted to language students, since students of all disciplines use online translators, and may continue to do so throughout their professional lives.

The aim of this study is to provide a review of published and peer-reviewed resources for acquired communication disorders in Qatar. The study followed a systematic review of studies and resources published for Qatari Arabic in major journal databases. In addition, the review made use of personal communication with clinicians in the field to identify any non-standardised tests currently used in speech and language therapy clinics. We reviewed all published studies on Arabic acquired communication disorders and narrowed down the search from Arabic to Eastern Arabic, then Gulf Arabic and finally Qatari Arabic. This made it possible to compare the richness of data and studies coming from Qatar compared to other Arabic countries. The review revealed a dearth of resources available for the country in question in two major areas: limited availability of assessments specifically designed for the country and a nonexistence of therapy and intervention studies with patients from the country.

The study's first objective is to present an overview of the demographic information of speech therapists and the current service delivery process provided by government entities in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The second objective is to analyze the caseload and workload of the Speech Unit clinics at Salmaniya Medical Complex. The study takes a descriptive, analytical approach to analyze data collected via a web-based online survey (17 questions) to determine demographic information about speech therapists in the Kingdom of Bahrain. A survey was completed by 59 participants: 45 Bahraini therapists and 45 female therapists. The significant findings show that only 24 therapists were based in medical settings, while the rest were school-based. Most speech therapists have bachelor's degrees, while there are currently seven master's degree holders. Most therapists have less than ten years of experience. Despite the Ministry of Health and the NHRA's support for allied professions, there is a severe shortage of speech therapists in all healthcare facilities and other ministries that offer rehabilitation programs to those with disabilities or in need of services. A cross-national study involving all professionals in the public and private sectors is now required to promote a broader perspective and comprehensive analysis, particularly as the Bahrain health system transitions toward autonomy and health insurance.

Jordan has been one of the leading Arab countries in establishing academic programs in the field of speech-language pathology (SLP) in the Arab region. The first master's program was established at the University of Jordan in 1992 in Amman. The first bachelor's program in SLP was established in 1992 at the private Applied Sciences University in Amman, Jordan. Currently, there are two master's and four bachelor's programs in Jordan. The total number of graduates holding bachelor's degrees from the four programs is 2472, and the total number of graduates with master's degrees is 500. According to the records of the Licensing Unit at the Ministry of Health, there are 142 licensed speech-language pathologists, 754 technician speech-language pathologists, 27 licensed audiologists, 244 technician-audiologists, and seven assistant technician audiologists. The total number of ASHA-certified Jordanian SLPs is around 15. The profession of SLP in Jordan has progressed remarkably in the past twenty years; however, it requires more attention at different levels to continue to advance. More financial support is needed for scholars to conduct more rigorous research. A code of ethics should be developed to promote the service delivery models and SLP services. Additionally, more centers are needed all over the country to service the vast numbers of individuals with communication disorders. A professional association should be established immediately to regulate and promote the profession at all levels.
