Interest in the development of appropriate safety culture in the oil and gas industry has taken centre stage among stakeholders in the industry. Human behaviour has been identified as a major contributor to occupational accidents, where abnormal activities associated with safety management are taken as normal behaviour. Poor safety culture is one of the major factors that influence employee's safety behaviour at work, which may consequently result in injuries and accidents and strengthening such a culture can improve workers safety performance. Nigeria oil and gas industry has contributed to the growth and development of the country in diverse ways. However, in terms of safety and health of workers, this industry is a dangerous place to work as workers are often exposed to occupational safety and health hazard. To ascertain the impact of employees' safety and how it impacts health and safety compliance within the local industry, online safety culture survey targeting frontline workers within the industry was administered covering major subjects that include; perception of management commitment and style of leadership; safety communication method and its resultant impact on employees' behaviour; employee safety commitment and training needs. The preliminary result revealed that 54% of the participants feel that there is a lack of motivation from the management to work safely. In addition, 55% of participants revealed that employers place more emphasis on work delivery over employee's safety on the installation. It is expected that the study outcome will provide measures aimed at strengthening and sustaining safety culture in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
Infrastructure projects are often subjected to delays and cost overruns and mistakenly described as unsuccessful projects. These projects have many peculiarities such as public attention, impact on the environment, subjected to special regulations, etc. They also deal with several stakeholders with different motivations and face unique risks. With this in mind we need to reconsider our approach to manage them, define their success factors and implement these success factors. Infrastructure projects are not only lacking a unified meaning of project success or a definition of success factors, but also a clear method to implement these factors. This paper investigates this gap and introduces a concept to implement success factors in an efficient way, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of infrastructure projects. This concept consists of six enablers such as project organization, project team, project management workflow, contract management, communication and knowledge transfer and project documentations. These enablers allow other success factors to be efficiently implemented in projects. In conclusion, this paper provides project managers as well as company managers with a tool to define and implement success factors efficiently in their projects, along with upgrading their assets for the coming projects. This tool consists of processes and validated checklists to ensure the best use of company resources and knowledge. Due to the special features of infrastructure projects this tool will be tested in the German infrastructure market. However, it is meant to be adaptable to other markets and industries.
Existing learning techniques such as problem-based learning, project-based learning, or case study learning are learning techniques that focus mainly on technical details, but give no specific guidelines on learner's experience and emotional learning aspects such as arousal salience and valence, being emotional states important factors affecting engagement and retention. Some approaches involving emotion in educational settings, such as social and emotional learning, lack neuroscientific rigorousness and use of specific neurobiological mechanisms. On the other hand, neurobiology approaches lack educational applicability. And educational approaches mainly focus on cognitive aspects and disregard conditioning learning. First, authors start explaining the reasons why it is hard to learn thoughtfully, then they use the method of neurobiological mapping to track the main limbic system functions, such as the reward circuit, and its relations with perception, memories, motivations, sympathetic and parasympathetic reactions, and sensations, as well as the brain cortex. The authors conclude explaining the major finding: The mechanisms of nonconscious learning and the triggers that guarantee long-term memory potentiation. Afterward, the educational framework for practical application and the instructors' guidelines are established. An implementation example in engineering education is given, namely, the study of tuned-mass dampers for earthquake oscillations attenuation in skyscrapers. This work represents an original learning technique based on nonconscious learning mechanisms to enhance long-term memories that complement existing cognitive learning methods.
Instructional or teaching procedures and their proper sequence are essential for high-quality learning outcomes. These actions are the path that the teacher takes during the learning process after setting the learning objectives. Teachers and specialists in the education field should include teaching procedures with putting in place an effective mechanism for the procedure's implementation to achieve a logical sequence with the desired output of overall education process. Determining the sequence of these actions may be a strategic process outlined by a strategic educational plan or drawn by teachers with a high level of experience, enabling them to determine those logical procedures. While specific actions may be necessary for a specific form, many Physical Education (PE) teachers can work out on various sports disciplines. This study was conducted to investigate the impact of using the teaching sequence of the teaching pyramid in raising the level of enjoyment in swimming classes. Four months later of teaching swimming skills to the control and experimental groups of the study, we figured that using the tools shown in the teaching pyramid with the experimental group led to statistically significant differences in the positive tendencies of students to participate in the swimming classes by using the traditional procedures of teaching and using of successive procedures in the teaching pyramid, and in favor of the teaching pyramid, The students are influenced by enhancing their tendency to participate in swimming classes when the teaching procedures followed are sensitive to individual differences and are based on the element of pleasure in learning, and less positive levels of the tendency of students when using traditional teaching procedures, by getting the level of skills' requirements higher and more difficult to perform. The level of positive tendencies of students when using successive procedures in the teaching pyramid was increased, by getting the level of skills' requirements higher and more difficult to perform, because of the high level of motivation and the desire to challenge the self-provided by the teaching pyramid.
Technology is a recent prodigy in people's everyday life that has taken off. It infiltrated almost every aspect of one's lives, changing how people work, how people learn and how people perceive things. Academic Institutions, just like other organizations, have deeply modified its strategies to integrate technology into the institutional vision and corporate strategy that has never been greater. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) continues to be recognized as a major factor in organizations realizing its aims and objectives. Consequently, ICT has an important role in the mobilization of an academic institution's strategy to support the delivery of operational, strategic or transformational objectives. This ICT strategy should align the institution with the radical changes of the ICT world through the use of Enterprise Architecture (EA). Hence, EA's objective is to optimize the islands of legacy processes to be integrated that is receptive to change and supportive of the delivery of the strategy. In this paper, the focus is to explore the motivational antecedents during the adoption of EA in a Higher Education Institution in the Philippines for its ICT strategic plan. The seven antecedents (viewpoint, stakeholders, human traits, vision, revolutionary innovation, techniques and change components) provide understanding into EA adoption and the antecedents that influences the process of EA adoption.
With the economic growth and rapid urbanization after the reform and openness, some of China's fast-growing cities have demolished former dwellings and built modern residential quarters. The blind, incomplete reference to western modern cities and the one-off construction lacking feedback mechanism have intensified such phenomenon, causing the citizen gradually expanded their living scale with the popularization of car traffic, and the peer-to-peer lifestyle gradually settled. The construction of large-scale commercial centers has caused obstacles to small business around the residential areas, leading to space for residents' interaction has been compressed. At the same time, the advocated Central Business District (CBD) model even leads to the unsatisfactory reconstruction of many historical blocks such as the Hangzhou Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Street. However, the popularity of historical spaces such as Wuzhen and Hongcun also indicates the collective memory and needs of the street space for Chinese residents. The evolution of Shanghai TianZiFang also proves the importance of the motivation of space participants in space construction in the context of the "top-down" construction model in China. In fact, there are frequent occurrences of "reconstruction", which may redefine the space, in various residential areas. If these activities can be selectively controlled and encouraged, it will be beneficial to activate the public space as well as the residents' intercourse, so that the traditional Chinese street space can be reconstructed in the context of modern cities.
Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) is a university with a vision of conservation. The impact of the UNNES conservation is the existence of a positive response from the community for the effort of greening the campus and the planting of conservation value in the academic community. But in reality, energy consumption in UNNES campus tends to increase. The objectives of the study were to analyze the energy consumption in the campus area, to analyze the absorption of emissions by trees and the awareness of UNNES citizens in reducing emissions. Research focuses on energy consumption, carbon emissions, and awareness of citizens in reducing emissions. Research subjects in this study are UNNES citizens (lecturers, students and employees). The research area covers 6 faculties and one administrative center building. Data collection is done by observation, interview and documentation. The research used a quantitative descriptive method to analyze the data. The number of trees in UNNES is 10,264. Total emission on campus UNNES is 7.862.281.56 kg/year, the tree absorption is 6,289,250.38 kg/year. In UNNES campus area there are still 1,575,031.18 kg/year of emissions, not yet absorbed by trees. There are only two areas of the faculty whose trees are capable of absorbing emissions. The awareness of UNNES citizens in reducing energy consumption is seen in change the habit of: using energy-saving equipment (65%); reduce energy consumption per unit (68%); do energy literacy for UNNES citizens (74%). UNNES leaders always provide motivation to the citizens of UNNES, to reduce and change patterns of energy consumption.
Islamism is a very debated topic in the West but almost exclusively explored in its violent forms. Nevertheless, a number of "vocal radical Islamist" groups exist in the West and legally operate because of their non-violent nature. Vocal radicals continually inspire individuals and lead them towards specific goals and priorities, sometimes even towards violence. This paper uses the long-living group Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) to explore the elements that make the organization appealing to segments of Muslim community in the West. This paper uses three agency variables - reflexive monitoring, the rationalization of action and the motivations for actions – to analyze HT's appeal vis-à-vis two other Islamist groups, Ikhwan al-Muslimun and Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), having similar goals and the same high international profile. This paper concludes that HT's uniqueness is given by its method, detailed vision of the caliphate, consistency over time and the emphasis placed on the caliphate as the leading force of HT's unchanged motivation for action.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of video clips to enhance students' achievement and motivation towards learning and facilitating of history. We use narrative literature studies to illustrate the current state of the two art and science in focused areas of inquiry. We used experimental method. The experimental method is a systematic scientific research method in which the researchers manipulate one or more variables to control and measure any changes in other variables. For this purpose, two experimental groups have been designed: one experimental and one groups consisting of 30 lower secondary students. The session is given to the first batch using a computer presentation program that uses video clips to be considered as experimental group, while the second group is assigned as the same class using traditional methods using dialogue and discussion techniques that are considered a control group. Both groups are subject to pre and post-trial in matters that are handled by the class. The findings show that the results of the pre-test analysis did not show statistically significant differences, which in turn proved the equality of the two groups. Meanwhile, post-test analysis results show that there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental group and the control group at an importance level of 0.05 for the benefit of the experimental group.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) involve myriad aberrant perceptual, cognitive, linguistic, and social behaviors. The term spectrum emphasizes that the disabilities associated with ASD fall on a continuum from relatively mild to severe. People with ASD may display stereotyped behaviors such as twirling, spinning objects, flapping the hands, and rocking. The individuals with ASD exhibit communication problems due to repetitive/restricted behaviors. Children with ASD who lack the motivation to learn, who do not enjoy physical challenges, or whose sensory perception results in confusing or unpleasant feedback from movement may not become sufficiently motivated to practice motor activities. As a result, they may show both a delay in developing certain motor skills. Additionally, attention is an important component of learning. As far as children with ASD have problems in joint attention, many education-based programs are needed to consider some aspects of attention and motor activities development for students with ASD. These programs focus on the basic movement skills that are crucial for the future development of the more complex skills needed in games, dance, sports, gymnastics, active play, and recreational physical activities. The purpose of the present research was to determine the effectiveness of therapeutic exercise on motor skills and attention of male students with ASD. This was an experimental study with a control group. The population consisted of 8-10 year-old male students with ASD and 30 subjects were selected randomly from an available center suitable for the children with ASD. They were evaluated by the Basic Motor Ability Test (BMAT) and Persian version of computerized Stroop color-word test and randomly assigned to an experimental and control group (15 students in per group). The experimental group participated in 16 therapeutic exercise sessions and received therapeutic exercise program (twice a week; each lasting for 45 minutes) designed based on the Spark motor program while the control group did not. All subjects were evaluated by BMAT and Stroop color-word test after the last session again. The collected data were analyzed by using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The results of MANCOVA showed that experimental and control groups had a significant difference in motor skills and at least one of the components of attention (correct responses, incorrect responses, no responses, the reaction time of congruent words and reaction time of incongruent words in the Stroop test). The findings showed that the therapeutic exercise had a significant effect on motor skills and all components of attention in students with ASD. We can conclude that the therapeutic exercise led to promote the motor skills and attention of students with ASD, so it is necessary to design or plan such programs for ASD students to prevent their communication or academic problems.
The human factor plays a major role in boosting the competitive capacity of logistic enterprises. This is of particular importance when it comes to logistic companies. On the one hand they should be strictly compliant with legislation; on the other hand, they should be competitive in terms of pricing and of delivery timelines. Moreover, their policies should allow them to be as flexible as possible. All these circumstances are reason for very serious challenges for the qualification, motivation and experience of the human resources, working in logistic companies or in logistic departments of trade and industrial enterprises. The geographic place of Bulgaria puts it in position of a country with some specific competitive advantages in the goods transport from Europe to Asia and back. Along with it, there is a number of logistic companies, that operate in this sphere in Bulgaria. In the current paper, the authors aim to establish the condition of the administrative capacity and human resources in the logistic companies and logistic departments of trade and industrial companies in Bulgaria in order to propose some guidelines for improving of their effectiveness. Due to independent empirical research, conducted in Bulgarian logistic, trade and industrial enterprises, the authors investigate both the impact degree and the interdependence of various factors that characterize the administrative capacity. The study is conducted with a prepared questionnaire, in format of direct interview with the respondents. The volume of the poll is 50 respondents, representatives of: general managers of industrial or trade enterprises; logistic managers of industrial or trade enterprises; general managers of forwarding companies – either with own or with hired transport; experts from Bulgarian association of logistics; logistic lobbyist and scientists of the relevant area. The data are gathered for 3 months, then arranged by a specialized software program and analyzed by preset criteria. Based on the results of this methodological toolbox, it can be claimed that there is a correlation between the individual criteria. Also, a commitment between the administrative capacity and other factors that determine the competitiveness of the studied companies is established. In this paper, the authors present results of the empirical research that concerns the number and the workload in the logistic departments of the enterprises. Also, what is commented is the experience, related to logistic processes management and human resources competence. Moreover, the overload level of the logistic specialists is analyzed as one of the main threats for making mistakes and losing clients. The paper stands behind the thesis that there is indispensability of forming an effective and efficient administrative capacity, based on the number, qualification, experience and motivation of the staff in the logistic companies. The paper ends with recommendations about the qualification and experience of the specialists in logistic departments; providing effective and efficient administrative capacity in the logistic departments; interdependence of the human factor and the other factors that influence the enterprise competitiveness.
In a multilingual setting like Nigeria, the success of service encounters is enhanced by the use of a language that ensures the linguistic and persuasive demands of the interlocutors. This study examined motivations for code switching as a negotiation strategy in bank-hall desk service encounters in Ìbàdàn metropolis using Myers-Scotton's exploration on markedness in language use. The data consisted of transcribed audio recording of bank-hall service encounters, and direct observation of bank interactions in two purposively sampled commercial banks in Ìbàdàn metropolis. The data was subjected to descriptive linguistic analysis using Myers Scotton's Markedness Model. Findings reveal that code switching is frequently employed during different stages of service encounter: greeting, transaction and closing to fulfil relational, bargaining and referential functions. Bank staff and customers code switch to make unmarked, marked and explanatory choices. A strategy used to identify with customer's cultural affiliation, close status gap, and appeal to begrudged customer; or as an explanatory choice with non-literate customers for ease of communication. Bankers select English to maintain customers' perceptions of prestige which is retained or diverged from depending on their linguistic preference or ability. Yoruba is seen as an efficient negotiation strategy with both bankers and their customers, making choices within conversation to achieve desired conversational and functional aims.
The article analyses the composition and structure of the motivationally oriented methodological system of teaching mathematics (purpose, content, methods, forms, and means of teaching), viewed through the prism of the student as the subject of the learning process. Particular attention is paid to the problem of methods of teaching mathematics, which are represented in the form of an ordered triad of attributes corresponding to the selected characteristics. A systematic analysis of possible options and their methodological interpretation enriched existing ideas about known methods and technologies of training, and significantly expanded their nomenclature by including previously unstudied combinations of characteristics. In addition, examples outlined in this article illustrate the possibilities of enhancing the motivational capacity of a particular method or technology in the real learning practice of teaching mathematics through more free goal-setting and varying the conditions of the problem situations. The authors recommend the implementation of different strategies according to their characteristics in teaching and learning mathematics in secondary schools.
Arnold's redefinition of human motives can sustain a psychology of education which emphasizes the beauty of knowledge and the exercise of intellectual functions. Thus, education instead of focusing on skills and learning by doing would be centered on 'the widest reaches of the human spirit'. One way to attain it is by developing children's inherent interest. Arnold takes into account the fact that the desire to know is the inherent interest which leads students to explore and learn. She also emphasizes the need of exercising human functions as thinking, judging and reasoning. According to Arnold, the influence of psychological theories of motivation in education has derived in considering that all learning and school tasks should derive from children's needs and impulses. The desire to know and the curiosity have not been considered as basic and active as any instinctive drive or basic need, so there has been an attempt to justify and understand how biological drives guide student's learning. However, understanding motives and motivation not as a drive, an instinct or an impulse guided by our basic needs, but as a want that leads to action can help to understand, from a psychological perspective, how teachers can motivate students to learn, strengthening their desire and interest to reason and discover the whole new world of knowledge.
Teacher's sense of self-efficacy can affect significantly both teacher's and student's performance. More specific, self-efficacy is associated with the learning outcomes as well as student's motivation and self-efficacy. For example, teachers with high sense of self-efficacy are more open to innovations and invest more effort in teaching. In addition to this, effective inclusive education is associated with higher levels of teacher's self-efficacy. Pre-service teachers with high levels of self-efficacy could handle student's behavior better and more effectively assist students with special educational needs. Teacher preparation programs are also important, because teacher's efficacy beliefs are shaped early in learning, as a result the quality of teacher's education programs can affect the sense of self-efficacy of pre-service teachers. Usually, a number of pre-service teachers do not consider themselves well prepared to work with students with special educational needs and do not have the appropriate sense of self-efficacy. This study aims to investigate the factors that contribute to the improvement of the sense of self-efficacy of pre-service special educators by using an academic practicum training program. The sample of this study is 159 pre-service special educators, who also participated in the academic practicum training program. For the purpose of this study were used quantitative methods for data collection and analysis. Teacher's self-efficacy was assessed by the teachers themselves with the completion of a questionnaire which was based on the scale of Teacher's Sense of Efficacy Scale. Pre and post measurements of teacher's self-efficacy were taken. The results of the survey are consistent with those of the international literature. The results indicate that a significant number of pre-service special educators do not hold the appropriate sense of self-efficacy regarding teaching students with special educational needs. Moreover, a quality academic training program constitutes a crucial factor for the improvement of the sense of self-efficacy of pre-service special educators, as additional for the provision of high quality inclusive education.
Teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) is a common practice in many Lebanese schools. However, ESL teaching is done in traditional ways. Methods such as constructivism are seldom used, especially in villages. Here lies the significance of this research which joins constructivism and Piaget's theory of cognitive development in ESL classes in Lebanese villages. The purpose of the present study is to explore the effects of applying constructivist student-centered strategies in teaching grammar, reading comprehension, and poetry on students in elementary ESL classes in two villages in Lebanon, Zefta in South Lebanon and Boqaata in Mount Lebanon. 20 English teachers participated in a training titled "Teaching English with Fun", which focused on strategies that create a student-centered class where active learning takes place and there is increased learner engagement and autonomy. The training covered three main areas in teaching English: grammar, reading comprehension, and poetry. After participating in the training, the teachers applied the new strategies and methods in their ESL classes. The methodology comprised two phases: in phase one, practice-based research was conducted as the teachers attended the training and applied the constructivist strategies in their respective ESL classes. Phase two included the reflections of the teachers on the effects of the application of constructivist strategies. The results revealed the educational benefits of constructivist student-centered strategies; the students of teachers who applied these strategies showed improved engagement, positive attitudes towards poetry, increased motivation, and a better sense of autonomy. Future research is required in applying constructivist methods in the areas of writing, spelling, and vocabulary in ESL classrooms of Lebanese villages.
Egypt has countless prestigious buildings and diversity of cultural heritage which are located in many cities. Most of the researchers, archaeologists, stakeholders and governmental bodies are paying more attention to the big cities such as Cairo and Alexandria, due to the country's centralization nature. However, there are other historic cities that are grossly neglected and in need of emergency conservation. For instance, Port Said which is a former colonial city that was established in nineteenth century located at the edge of the northeast Egyptian coast between the Mediterranean Sea and the Suez Canal. This city is chosen because it presents one of the important Egyptian archaeological sites that archive Egyptian architecture of the 19th and 20th centuries. The historic urban fabric is divided into three main districts; the Arab, the European (Al-Afrang), and Port Fouad. The European district is selected to be the research case study as it has culture diversity, significant buildings, and includes the largest number of the listed heritage buildings in Port Said. Based on questionnaires and interviews, since 2003 several initiative trials have been taken by Alliance Francaise, the National Organization for Urban Harmony (NOUH), some Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and few number of community residents to highlight the important city legacy and protect it from being demolished. Unfortunately, the limitation of their participation in decision-making policies is considered a crucial threat facing sustainable heritage conservation. Therefore, encouraging the local community to participate in their architecture heritage conservation would create a self-confident one, capable of making decisions for the city's future development. This paper aims to investigate the role of the local inhabitants in protecting their buildings heritage through listing the community level of participations twice (2012 and 2018) in preserving their heritage based on the ladder citizen participation approach. Also, it is to encourage community participation in order to promote city architecture conservation, heritage management, and sustainable development. The methodology followed in this empirical research involves using several data assembly methods such as structural observations, questionnaires, interviews, and mental mapping. The questionnaire was distributed among 92 local inhabitants aged 18-60 years. However, the outset of this research at the beginning demonstrated the majority negative attitude, motivation, and confidence of the local inhabitants' role to safeguard their architectural heritage. Over time, there was a change in the negative attitudes. Therefore, raising public awareness and encouraging community participation by providing them with a real opportunity to take part in the decision-making. This may lead to a positive relationship between the community residents and the built heritage, which is essential for promoting its preservation and sustainable development.
The study reported here investigated social cognitive theory (SCT) in the context of Vocational Rehab (VR) for people with disabilities. The prime purpose was to increase knowledge of VR phenomena and make recommendations for improving VR services. The sample consisted of 242 persons with Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) who completed questionnaires. A further 32 participants were Trainers. Analysis of questionnaire data was carried out using factor analysis, multiple regression analysis, and thematic analysis. The analysis suggested that, in motivational terms, and consistent with research carried out in other academic contexts, self-efficacy was the best predictor of VR performance. The author concludes that that VR self-efficacy predicted VR training performance.
This study examines two bilingual phenomena in the narratives of Arabic Hebrew and Hebrew-English bilingual adults in Israel: CO memories and code-switching (CS). The study examined these phenomena in the context of autobiographical memory, using a cue word technique. Student experimenters held two sessions in the homes of the participants. In separate language sessions, the participant was asked to look first at each of 16 cue words and then to state a concrete memory. After stating the memory, participants reported whether their memories were in the same language of the experiment session or different. Memories were classified as 'Crossovers' (CO) or 'Same Language' (SL) according to participants' self-reports. Participants were also required to elaborate about the setting, interlocutors and other languages involved in the specific memory. Beyond replicating the procedure of cuing technique, one memory from a specific lifespan period was chosen per participant, and the participant was required to provide further details about it. For the more detailed memories, CS count was conducted. Both bilingual groups confirmed the Reminiscence Bump phenomenon, retrieving more memories in the 10-30 age period. CO memories prevailed in second language sessions (L2). Same language memories were more abundant in first language sessions (L1). Higher CS frequency was found in L2 sessions. Finally, as predicted, 'individual' CS was prevalent in L2 sessions, but 'community-based' CS was not higher in L1 sessions. The two bilingual measures in this study, crossovers, and CS came from different research traditions, the former from an experimental paradigm in the psychology of autobiographical memory based on self-reported judgments, the latter a behavioral measure from linguistics. This merger of approaches offers new insight into the field of bilingual autobiographical memory. In addition, the study attempted to shed light on the investigation of motivations for CS, beginning with Walters' SPPL Model and concluding with a distinction between 'community-based' and individual motivations.
In Chile, since 2002, there are extracurricular enrichment programs complementary to regular education for students with high intellectual capacity. This paper describes a model for the educational inclusion of students, with special educational needs associated with high intellectual capacity, developed at the University of Concepción and its effects on its students, academics and undergraduate students that collaborate with the program. The Talentos UdeC Program was created in 2003 and is intended for 240 children and youth from 11 to 18 years old, from 15 communes of the Biobio region. The case Talentos UdeC is analyzed from a mixed qualitative study in which those participating in the educational model are considered. The sample was composed of 30 students, 30 academics, and 30 undergraduate students. In the case of students, pre and post program measurements were made to analyze their socio-emotional adaptation, academic motivation and socially responsible behavior. The mentioned variables are measured through questionnaires designed and validated by the University of Concepcion that included: The Socially Responsible Behavior Questionnaire (CCSR); the Academic Motivation Questionnaire (CMA) and the Socio-Emotional Adaptation Questionnaire (CASE). The information obtained by these questionnaires was analyzed through a quantitative analysis. Academics and undergraduate students were interviewed to learn their perception of the effects of the program on themselves, on students and on society. The information obtained is analyzed using qualitative analysis based on the identification of common themes and descriptors for the construction of conceptual categories of answers. Quantitative results show differences in the first three variables analyzed in the students, after their participation for two years in Talentos UdeC. Qualitative results demonstrate perception of effects in the vision of world, project of life and in other areas of the students' development; perception of effects in a personal, professional and organizational plane by academics and a perception of effects in their personal-social development and training in generic competencies by undergraduates students.
Teaching and learning EFL speaking modules is one of the most challenging productive modules for both instructors and learners. In a student-centered interactive communicative language teaching approach, learners and instructors should be aware of the fact that the target language must be taught as/for communication. The student must be empowered by tools that will work on more than one level of their communicative competence. Communicative learning will need a teaching and learning methodology that will address the goal. Teaching turn-taking rules, pragmatic principles and speech acts will enhance students' sociolinguistic competence, strategic competence together with discourse competence. Sociolinguistic competence entails the mastering of speech act conventions and illocutionary acts of refusing, agreeing/disagreeing; emotive acts like, thanking, apologizing, inviting, offering; directives like, ordering, requesting, advising, and hinting, among others. Strategic competence includes enlightening students' consciousness of the various particular turn-taking systemic rules of organizing techniques of opening and closing conversation, adjacency pairs, interrupting, back-channeling, asking for/giving opinion, agreeing/disagreeing, using natural fillers for pauses, gaps, speaker select, self-select, and silence among others. Students will have the tools to manage a conversation. Students are engaged in opportunities of experiencing the natural language not as a mere extra student talking time but rather an empowerment of knowing and using the strategies. They will have the component items they need to use as well as the opportunity to communicate in the target language using topics of their interest and choice. This enhances students' communicative abilities. Available websites and textbooks now use one or more of these tools of turn-taking or pragmatics. These will be students' support in self-study in their independent learning study hours. This will be their reinforcement practice on e-Learning interactive activities. The students' target is to be able to communicate the intended meaning to an addressee that is in turn able to infer that intended meaning. The combination of these tools will be assertive and encouraging to the student to beat the struggle with what to say, how to say it, and when to say it. Teaching the rules, principles and techniques is an act of awareness raising method engaging students in activities that will lead to their pragmatic discourse competence. The aim of the paper is to show how the suggested pragmatic model will empower students with tools and systems that would support their learning. Supporting students with turn taking rules, speech act theory, applying both to texts and practical analysis and using it in speaking classes empowers students' pragmatic discourse competence and assists them to understand language and its context. They become more spontaneous and ready to learn the discourse pragmatic dimension of the speaking techniques and suitable content. Students showed a better performance and a good motivation to learn. The model is therefore suggested for speaking modules in EFL classes.
In the design cycle, a main design task is to determine the external shape of the product. The external shape of a product is one of the key factors that can affect the customers' preferences linking to the motivation to buy the product, especially in the case of a consumer electronic product such as a mobile phone. The relationship between the external shape and the customer preferences needs to be studied to enhance the customer's purchase desire and action. In this research, a design for customer preferences model is developed for investigating the relationships between the external shape and the customer preferences of a product. In the first stage, the names of the geometric features are collected and evaluated from the data of the specified internet web pages using the developed text miner. The key geometric features can be determined if the number of occurrence on the web pages is relatively high. For each key geometric feature, the numerical values are explored using the text miner to collect the internet data from the web pages. In the second stage, a cluster analysis model is developed to evaluate the numerical values of the key geometric features to divide the external shapes into several groups. Several design suggestion cases can be proposed, for example, large model, mid-size model, and mini model, for designing a mobile phone. A customer preference index is developed by evaluating the numerical data of each of the key geometric features of the design suggestion cases. The design suggestion case with the top ranking of the customer preference index can be selected as the final design of the product. In this paper, an example product of a notebook computer is illustrated. It shows that the external shape of a product can be used to drive customer preferences. The presented design for customer preferences model is useful for determining a suitable external shape of the product to increase customer preferences.
Due to the rapid advances in the use of information technology and students' familiarity with technology, learning styles in higher education are being reshaped. One of the technology developments that has gained considerable attention in recent years is Augmented Reality (AR), where technology is used to combine overlays of digital data on physical real-world settings. While AR is being heavily promoted for entertainment by mobile phone manufacturers, it has had little adoption in higher education due to the required upfront investment that an instructor needs to undertake in creating relevant AR applications. This paper discusses a case study that uses a low upfront development approach and examines the impact on generation-Z students' motivation whilst studying design history over a four-semester period. Even though the upfront investment in creating the AR support was minimal, the results showed a noticeable increase in student motivation. The approach used in this paper can be easily transferred to other disciplines and other areas of design education.
The emerging approaches to sustainable manufacturing are considered to be solution-oriented with the aim of addressing the environmental, economic and social issues holistically. However, the analysis of the interdependencies amongst the three sustainability dimensions has not been fully captured in the literature. In a recent review of approaches to sustainable manufacturing, two categories of techniques are identified: 1) Sustainable Product Development (SPD), and 2) Sustainability Performance Assessment (SPA) techniques. The challenges of the approaches are not only related to the arguments and misconceptions of the relationships between the techniques and sustainable development but also to the inability to capture and integrate the three sustainability dimensions. This requires a clear definition of some of the approaches and a road-map to the development of a holistic approach that supports sustainability decision-making. In this context, eco-innovation, social impact assessment, and life cycle sustainability analysis play an important role. This paper deployed an integrative approach that enabled amalgamation of sustainable manufacturing approaches and the theories of reciprocity and motivation into a holistic simulation-based impact analysis framework. The findings in this research have the potential to guide sustainability analysts to capture the aspects of the three sustainability dimensions into an analytical model. Additionally, the research findings presented can aid the construction of a holistic simulation model of a sustainable manufacturing and support effective decision-making.
An Integrated Cumulative Grade Point Average (iCGPA) is a mechanism and strategy to ensure the curriculum of an academic programme is constructively aligned to the expected learning outcomes and student performance based on the attainment of those learning outcomes that is reported objectively in a spider web. Much effort and time has been spent to develop a viable mechanism and trains academics to utilize the platform for reporting. The question is: How well do learners conceive the idea of their achievement via iCGPA and whether quality learner attributes have been nurtured through the iCGPA mechanism? This paper presents the architecture of an integrated CGPA mechanism purported to address a holistic evaluation from the evaluation of courses learning outcomes to aligned programme learning outcomes attainment. The paper then discusses the students' understanding of the mechanism and evaluation of their achievement from the generated spider web. A set of questionnaires were distributed to a group of students with iCGPA reporting and frequency analysis was used to compare the perspectives of students on their performance. In addition, the questionnaire also explored how they conceive the idea of an integrated, holistic reporting and how it generates their motivation to improve. The iCGPA group was found to be receptive to what they have achieved throughout their study period. They agreed that the achievement level generated from their spider web allows them to develop intervention and enhance the programme learning outcomes before they graduate.

Geothermal and Oil Industry should cooperate on drilling
December 11, 2009
Last week, some of our colleagues participated at GeoPower Europe 2009 Conference in Munich in Germany (more general facts on this link). We would like to share some personal observations and remarks:
The price of ultra deep drilling as well as risks linked to Enhanced Geothermal Systems are two main obstacles of geothermal energy expansion, conclude Geothermal Anywhere's representatives, who participated GeoPower International Conference in Munich last week. Effective deep drilling is for the EGS vital precondition for decreasing the costs of geothermal projects in general. At the same time, this remains the prerequisite for more intensive engagement of investors.
If the positive evolution should come in near future, significant research and development must be done on field of EGS, observed the majority of companies attending GeoPower. Ultra deep drilling, which means drilling to 5 kilometers an deeper, remains still too expensive, while using the current technologies, although many of them have been continuously upgraded. In depth of 5 kilometers, the drilling costs start to increase according the exponential curve.
The geothermal drilling technologies as well as hydrocarbon ones are still waiting for some kind of breakthrough, which would bring the end of exponential growth of costs in case of ultra deep drilling.
As we indicated above, hydrocarbon (oil and gas) and geothermal industry face very similar obstacles. For example in areas of Mexican Gulf, Falklands or even Hungary, there are huge reservoirs ultra deep under the surface, which are not able to be exploited effectively due to technology limitations. Schlumberger's Jean-Philippe Gibaud, the expert on drilling, as well as the other conference speakers said that due to huge costs of drilling, much reserves of gas and oil are not at industry's disposal. The outcome is that the growing demand on fossil fuels is covered by opening new oil fields, which damages the nature. Therefore, the technology enabling to drill ultra deeply would provide the access to another billions of barrel of oil on old oil fields. This could help ecosystems especially in Canada or in Alaska, where the oil industry causes real environmental catastrophe.
The new drilling technologies we would evaluate as a huge opportunity not only in geothermal, but in hydrocarbon industry as well. There is a space for joining forces and doing research together. Therefore, our company Geothermal Anywhere opens itself for cooperation with oil drilling industry. And what we offer? The technology concept, which (as we believe) would enable to drill into depths of 6-7 or even 10 kilometers. Cost effectively, of course.

Computer Simulation Modeling of a Time Variable Competency Based Surgical Training Paradigm
As surgical training paradigms have evolved, standards developed including fixed length of training and case volume requirements, which, along with program director evaluations stating competency, served as basis for training and determining competence. This model has always been "service" focused, rather than "competency" focused, ie, centered around the delivery of care rather than the educational benefit to the trainee. In more recent years, significant and appropriate changes have occurred within surgical training, including work hour limitations, increased trainee oversight, and increasing specialization of different fields. The current time and case volume based training paradigm has not evolved despite these regulatory changes. There is a critical need to develop training paradigms that account for these changes in modern surgical practice while also ensuring that all graduating trainees are competent. One of the greatest challenges to implementing a new time variable, competency-based training program is logistical. It is unknown, however, how these logistical constraints might interact with the variability in how trainees learn to operate. It is also unknown how alternative work models (scheduling strategies) might impact trainees, their training programs, and their institutions. We will develop new work models and investigate the interaction between work models, learning curves, and multiple outcomes related to feasibility. This project represents a first step in creating a time variable, competency based training program.

Today's Times
- The reality of a possible default is sinking in on Capitol Hill after a negotiating session at the White House took a sour turn, writes Carl Hulse. New warnings of economic woe from the Federal Reserve and a decision by Moody's Analytics to review the federal government's AAA credit rating for a possible downgrade preceded the meeting. President Obama will meet with the Congressional leaders today at 4:15 p.m to continue discussions aimed at reaching a deal to raise the federal debt ceiling.
- The chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben S. Bernanke, was on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, where he gave a subdued account of the economy's health. Binyamin Appelbaum reports that Mr. Bernanke said that the central bank was reconsidering whether to provide additional stimulus to aid the recovery. The Fed chairman will be back on the Hill this morning at 10 to testify before the Senate Banking Committee.
- Despite the squabbling over the debt, Mr. Obama managed to haul in a record $86 million for his re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee between April 1 and June 30, reports Nicholas Confessore. The combined total is more than all of the president's potential Republican challengers have raised combined. For their part, Republicans seized an opportunity to contrast Mr. Obama's fund-raising totals with his record on job creation.
- Tim Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota, is coming under fire from critics who say he used one-time budget gimmicks to balance the state budget without new taxes that have contributed to the current crisis there, Trip Gabriel writes. In response, Mr. Pawlenty, who has used his success at balancing the state budget as a contestant in the 2012 Republican race for the White House, rejected any responsibility.
- The story Mr. Obama used so often on the campaign trail and in the subsequent fight over health care about his mother fighting health insurers while she was on her deathbed may not be entirely accurate, Kevin Sack reports. Janny Scott, a Times reporter on book leave, challenges Mr. Obama's account of his mother's struggles, indicating that the dispute may have been over a disability insurance policy.
Around the Web
- The Wall Street Journal looks at how credit agencies are responding to the debt impasse.
Happenings Around Washington
- President Obama meets with Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner at 3:05 p.m., then with Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Congressional leaders at 4:15.
- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton departs for a 10-day trip to Europe and Asia that includes stops in Turkey, Greece, India, Indonesia and Hong Kong.
- Representative Nancy Pelosi, the House minority leader, and Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York will take part in a flag-stitching ceremony on Capitol Hill tomorrow to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The flag, damaged in the attacks and recovered from ground zero, is on a 50-state tour coordinated by a nonprofit group, the New York Says Thank You Foundation. The program begins at 11:45 a.m.

Physicians, trainees fail to address childhood obesity
Residency Program Insider, August 7, 2015
Want to receive articles like this one in your inbox? Subscribe to Residency Program Insider!
Physicians and trainees are not identifying or addressing overweight/obesity in hospitalized children, according to a study in The Journal of Pediatrics. Researchers reviewed charts for 300 children with overweight/obesity and found that physicians and trainees only identified it 8.3% of the time and only addressed it 4%. The study found that interns were the most likely to document overweight/obesity in the patient's history.

"We can't imagine that a child could have any better or more loving parents. We have known them in both a business and social relationship and are very favorably impressed in both atmospheres. Their children will be raised in a good Christian and loving home."
"I've had the honor of knowing Taryn and Michael for the last 5 years. What started as a work friendship blossomed into a life long friendship. Taryn and I have grown to be very close. She's the most selfless, kind, and considerate person, yet at the same time she lights up a room with her smile and joy. Even when Taryn has a bad day, she's the person I want to be around. I can't wait to see her be a momma because I know how much love she has to give. Her and Michael together are ying and yang, and they balance one another so well. Together they make an awesome team and I know they will be wonderful parents! "
"I have known Taryn and Michael for over 4 years. In that time, I have developed close friendships with both of them, as well as mutual respect. They are kind hearted, hardworking, and extremely generous friends. Their desire to have a child is whole-hearted, and I cannot wait to see them as parents. They are both great with kids and prioritize time with their nieces and nephews. We have also bonded on how much we love our pets and treat them as children! I know they will create a loving, patient, and supportive home and any child would be blessed to call them parents. "
"Taryn and Michael are amazing people and I've known them for 15 years. They are going to make the most wonderful parents. Their hearts are so full of love and they want to share that love with children. Taryn is going to be such a great mother. She is so gentle and her heart is kind. Michael is caring and calm and will be a strong leader for his family. This baby is going to be so loved and cared for. "
"Taryn and Michael are two wonderful individuals who have shown others how to be fun-loving, kind and responsible in all things involving family. As a married couple, they have dedicated themselves to each other and want to expand their family with the adoption of a child. As my sister, Taryn has shown my personal children love, respect and kindness in so many ways. She has been a phenomenal part of their lives in ways such as family events, vacations and school events. Taryn is a wonderful role model to my children and she is someone that they look up to in all aspects. Micheal is also a blessing to my personal children as he continues to be a great example to them in many ways. He is always including them in outdoor adventures, everyday activities and family vacations. As a couple, they continue to persevere in life and meet challenges that lay ahead of them together. They will be extraordinary parents in all ways and will provide a caring home for a child. I would entrust them with a gift from God and would go confidently believing that they would succeed on this special opportunity if it were given to them. Taryn and Michael are two very pleasant and joyful individuals who continue to live life to the fullest and would love to give the same opportunity to a little one. As they continue on this path of adoption, I hope and pray that one day they will be given the glorious opportunity to bring a light into the world with the adoption of precious child. "
"I have known both Michael and Taryn for about 15 years dating back to our college years. Their wedding was beautiful and their relationship has been a privilege to see. Both Taryn and Michael are kind and caring individuals. They have babysat their nieces/nephews over the years, demonstrating their skills with children. I have gone to visit Taryn at her office and she had a niece and nephew with her and they were beyond excited that they got to spend the night with Taryn and Michael. Both always speak of their family with love and it shows. They are both family oriented and always try to make time for their families. When I have taken my children to visit, both Taryn and Michael have shown them nothing but love. They take in rescue dogs demonstrating the hearts they have always wanting to help and nurture. They are both giving and compassionate individuals and any child would be lucky to have them as parents. Taryn has such an optimistic attitude and approaches everything with a positive mentality. Michael has shown patience in dealing with people and circumstances. Both Taryn and Michael have great qualities, I don't just say that, I have seen it. I know that I can always count on both of them and I am grateful for their friendship. Their hearts are so full of love and I know they will bring so much happiness and joy to a special individual. "
"I confidently recommend Michael and Taryn as adoptive parents. I worked with this couple for 10 years and know how much love they have to share with a child. Adoption will complete this family. "
"We highly recommend our sister and brother-in-law. You could not ask for two better people than them. They are phenomenal people who have the biggest hearts and truly care for others. They are always very welcoming of others and always put others first. They are very involved in their community with volunteering, fundraising and church activities. They love our children like they are their own. Our children adore Aunt Taryn & Uncle Michael! They are always there for our children during their sporting events, performances, birthday parties, holidays, vacations, and family get-togethers. They are the best aunt and uncle ever! My sister and brother-in-law are going to be phenomenal parents and will give so much love and compassion to a special child. I can't wait to be an aunt again and get to spoil their child like they have ours!"

Hey everyone! I have found some fun facts on Zayn Malik, current as of 2019-12-08. I personally am a big fan of Zayn Malik, so was eager to do some deep research into them. Let's get started!
First… how popular is Zayn Malik right now? On Google Trends Zayn Malik had a popularity ranking of 54 ten days ago, 56 nine days ago, 52 eight days ago, 51 seven days ago, 63 six days ago, 61 five days ago, 47 four days ago, 47 three days ago, 47 two days ago, 59 one day ago and now has a popularity rank of 69. So in the recent past, they were gathering the most attention on 2019-12-05 when they had a rank of 69. If we compare Zayn Malik's popularity to three months ago, they had an average popularity of 56.6, whereas now their average popularity over the last ten days is 55.9. so by that measure, Zayn Malik has regressed. It's worth noting, finally, that Zayn Malik never had a rank of 0, indicating people are always searching for them 🙂
And what about how Zayn Malik has fared if we consider the entire past 3 months? Our date indicates 2019-09-19 to be their most popular day, when they had a relative rank of 100. Not bad!
As of 2019-12-08, my research indicates that people searching for Zayn Malik are also searching for these related terms: zayn malik gigi, harry styles, zayn malik gigi hadid, gigi hadid, harry styles zayn malik, one direction, zayn malik one direction, louis tomlinson, zayn malik 2019, liam payne, zayn malik hair, niall horan, zayn malik song, zayn malik instagram, zayn malik age, zayn malik songs, zayn malik height, zayn malik girlfriend, justin bieber, zayn malik net worth, zayn malik sister, zayn malik hairstyle, a whole new world, zayn malik dusk till dawn and selena gomez.
I did some more major analysis today on the web sentiment regarding Zayn Malik, and found a number news articles about them in the past month. I may update this post later when I analyze the best ones
Considering everything written about Zayn Malik (not just official news articles), I decided the overall sentiment for Zayn Malik on 2019-12-08 is positive. But what do you think? I'd like to hear your comments (just don't write anything too mean).

"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints" (Psalm 116:15).
Ever since Eden, death has been mankind's greatest enemy. We do all we can to put it off, spending billions of dollars annually on health care and research. And yet the normal life span continues to be 70–80 years, just as it was in the days of Moses, 3,500 years ago (Psalm 90:10).
The reason for the universal experience of death, of course, is the universal experience of sin, "Sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death" (James 1:15). However, Christ died for our sins, "that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage" (Hebrews 2:14,15).
Therefore, although death is still the great enemy, those who have been redeemed and forgiven, through faith in Christ, no longer need to fear its "sting," for, "The sting of death is sin," and "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (I Corinthians 15:56; Romans 5:8).
Furthermore, those of us who are left behind at the death of a loved one, no longer need to be overwhelmed with grief, for we "sorrow not, even as others which have no hope" (I Thessalonians 4:13). We know that "to depart, and to be with Christ . . . is far better" (Philippians 1:23), and that them "which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him" when He comes again (I Thessalonians 4:14).
We can rejoice that, when a true Christian dies, it is the Lord Himself who has called him home, and that the death of one of His saints is precious in the sight of the Lord.
As we honor those who have served in our Armed Forces today, we should especially thank God for those Christians who have given their lives in fighting not only for America, but also our freedom to worship and serve the Lord. HMM
