ELT MATERIALS FOR GENERAL FOUNDATION ENGLISH: A POST-USE EVALUATION

It is generally acknowledged that the college/university foundation programme, often instituted as a one-year course of instruction, plays a crucial role in preparing students for graduation to their various academic departments, which are usually located within the same educational institution. Foundation studies programmes in Oman are delivered to cater for the disciplinary, and almost invariably the closely related academic English language needs of the academic departments in addition to the requisite basic computer literacy and mathematical skills. The present study sought to evaluate two sets of teaching-learning ELT materials at a higher education college in Oman on a post-/in-use basis by the teachers of three general to intermediate level English language courses vis-a-vis the first set of Linguaphone courses forming the core, and of an IELTS Preparation course using the second set, respectively. All the courses were instituted in the General Foundation Programme (GFP). The main research instrument was the Checklist for ELT Materials Evaluation, adapted from Mukundan et al, 2011, that comprised 55 close-ended items and two open-ended items. It was discovered that 16 evaluative items relating to the use of Linguaphone course materials in the main were rated as “Good” (as expected, in the interest of target language/speaker authenticity), 29 items as “Adequate”, and 10 items as “Weak”, cf. cultural sensitivity). On the other hand, 43 items relating to the use of the IELTS Preparation course book were evaluated “Good/Excellent”, with the remaining 12 items being evaluated as only “Adequate/Weak”. The teachers also highlighted aspects of both sets of materials that worked well with their respective classes of students, as well as areas of their use that required improvement. While it was rather tempting to follow up the respective separate evaluation of the two sets of materials with a comparative one of the corresponding merits, or demerits as the case may be, it was determined that this would not be fair given the different levels, teaching-learning objectives, and content make-up of the courses, among other factors. On the global level, however, it was concluded that both sets of materials needed supplementary materials and/or adaptation work on the part of the teachers, with the Linguaphone courses requiring more resourcefulness on the part of the teachers as they endeavoured to meet the teaching-learning outcomes of the courses of instruction concerned.

Adjusted cost consumption index of major diagnosis-related group data in hospital medical performance evaluation

Objective To study the calculation of the cost consumption index adjusted with major diagnostic classification (MDC), for optimal use of DRGs index in hospital performance evaluation. Methods The adjustment method of CMI value in DRGs index system was used as reference, and we compared the different cost consumption indexes (both MDC adjusted and non-adjusted) of two hospitals (S and Y) in Guangdong province. Then we compared the different rankings of 82 tertiary general hospitals in the province before and after the adjustment. Results The cost consumption index of S hospital was higher than that of Y hospital by the non-adjusted method (1.30>1.28). But as calculated by the adjusted method, the index of S hospital was significantly lower than Y hospital (1.31<1.38). The rankings of these 82 hospitals also showed major changes, which prove that the cost consumption index, the same as CMI, will be affected by MDC cases makeup. Conclusions The MDC adjusted cost consumption index, when applied to hospital performance evaluation, renders more stable and reasonable results. This is an evidence that the adjusted cost consumption index is of great practical value in hospital performance evaluation.

Infection management at 101 medical institutions in Xinjiang from 1995 to 2015: review and analysis

Objective To analyze the changes in the organizational development and operations of infection management in Xinjiang in the past 20 years, and to explore optimal approaches for infection control in the region. Methods Stratified random sampling method was used for the survey of the infection management at 101 medical institutions of 12 prefectures in Xinjiang from 1995 to 2015. The survey covered the organization construction, staffing, and infection control work of these hospitals. Results The infection rate of hospitals in the northern part was higher than that of the southern part; the average beds of the hospitals increased from 169.96 to 428.27. Organization system of hospital infection management was gradually established and improved; Personnel makeup becomed more reasonable, yet greater manpower was needed for full-time staff; The operations and patterns of hospital infection management work had evolved from a few to the multidimensional; There are rooms for elevation in research of hospital infection. Conclusions The past 20 years have witnessed major progress of infection management in Xinjiang, but sustainable development in this regard calls for optimized staffing structure and better research ability.

DRGs-based analysis of the impacts on inpatient costs incurred by the reform of clinic-pharmacy-separation

Objective To investigate the impacts on inpatient costs of a hospital in Beijing as incurred by the reform of clinic-pharmacy-separation by means of DRGs. Methods As required by BJ-DRGs, we selected DRGs grouping information and medical record homepage information of the inpatients discharged from a tertiary hospital in Beijing from January to March in 2017 (pre-reform group) and that from May to July in 2017 (the post-reform group). Then we compared the differences of inpatient costs before and after the reform, and the inpatient cost changes of the DRGs groups. Results The median of inpatient costs before the reform was 8 751.21 yuan, and that after the reform was 8 522.07 yuan, a difference without statistical significance (P>0.05). Of the 104 DRGs studied, cost changes were found in 28 DRGs (P<0.05), with increases in 19 DRGs and drops in 9 DRGs groups. Conclusions The reform, though without impact on the inpatient costs, changed the makeup of costs on the other hand, especially on HJ13 and BB25 DRGs groups, worthy of attention. A dynamic tuning mechanism is thus suggested for pricing of medical services, and a fine management suggested for the hospitals to curb unreasonable growth of costs.

Modelling of end-use electricity consumption and saving potential in household sector in northern thailand

This study presents the actual state of electricity consumption in the household sector in northern region. The characteristics of household electricity consumption was considered to be an essential information for overview estimation of energy usage. The feasibility of energy conservation by improving end-use electricity energy efficiency was investigated. A questionnaire interview survey of 2,500 households concerning 36 kinds of appliances was conducted covering urban and rural areas in northern region in 2016 to identify the characteristics of household electricity consumption. The survey covers three areas: (i) household characteristics, (ii) dwelling characteristics, and (iii) appliances. The survey results were extrapolating, by using the energy model which implies the majority of household electricity consumption in the area level, to estimate the whole electricity consumption for northern region. The result overall electricity consumption in the household in northern region will be 5,604.10 GWh in the year 2016 shows with a make-up of refrigerator (32.10 %), air conditioner (18.04 %), light bulb (17.72 %), television (9.36 %), fan (7.63 %), rice cooker (5.19 %), iron (4.57 %), water heater (3.07 %) and washing machine (2.32 %). Around 16.14 % of electricity consumption, 847.24 GWh or 479.96 kt CO2, could be reduced by means of replacement with higher efficiency appliances. The electricity saving potentials are 65.23 % by changing fluorescent light bulb (FL) to Light Emitting Diode bulb (LED), 44.83 % by changing Cathode Ray Tube television (CRT) to LED television, 1.58 % for rice cooker, 1.53 % for iron, 1.03 % for washing machine, 0.78 % for water heater, 0.70 % for fan, 0.29 % for refrigerator and 0.23 % for air conditioner. The greenhouse gas mitigation from energy reduction potential including the policy recommendation are also raised.

The YouTube makeup tutorial Video. A preliminary linguistic analysis of the language of “makeup gurus”

Abstract – Due to its video sharing policy which freely allows users to communicate all over the world, YouTube has become one of the preferred Web platforms used by the digital community of makeup lovers. As a matter of fact, YouTube seems particularly suited to host announcements of new makeup collections, products’ reviews as well as video tutorials. Both cosmetic brands and single users have opened channels on the platform, but makeup discourse on YouTube is arguably dominated by the latter. Differentiating between unaffiliated amateurs and YouTubers who more or less openly work for makeup companies as digital influencers is difficult. Recent studies on communicative practices on YouTube, however, stress that in order to understand the complex nature of the famous video sharing website, the professional/non-professional dichotomy is not particularly relevant, whereas other dynamics are more research worthy. One of them is the “guru” phenomenon. “Gurus” are content creators who are particularly authoritative in a specific field, have a considerable follower base thanks to their expertise and are often paid by brands in order to promote their products. The makeup domain too has witnessed the emergence of a group of popular and influential users who are typically referred to as “makeup gurus”. Their ability to stand out from the multiplicity of similar channels arguably depends not only on their knowledge of the field, but also on their communication skills and specifically on their successful use of the makeup video genre. Against this backdrop, this study sets out to codify the relatively new genre of the makeup tutorial providing it with adequate categories which at the moment appear to be lacking. Adopting the analytical framework provided by discourse analysis, it examines the generic, rhetorical and linguistic practices of makeup gurus and sheds light on the ways gurus discursively construct their identity as well as represent the idea of beauty and makeup.

Strategie mediate da ELF per la promozione della dieta mediterranea come prodotto di lusso tra turisti e migranti

Abstract – This chapter introduces an original cognitive-pragmatic model that integrates Experiential Linguistics and Experiential Place Marketing approaches applied to the ‘emotional promotion’ of Responsible Tourism – a form of tourism aiming at advertising the tourists’ intercultural and human experience in socio-cultural situations normally perceived as problematic – such as the promotion of holiday destinations affected by migrants’ arrivals. The case study illustrated in this chapter is aimed at the exploration of different schemata regarding the socio-culturally marked food norms which come into contact and often in conflict in the course of the ELF-mediated communication between tourists and migrants who reside in the same seaside resorts. The objective of the research is to promote a Responsible Tourism that also includes eating habits aimed at the achievement of physical health and spiritual wellbeing. In an intercultural context like the one that underpins the case study, the dietary precepts existing in the various societies often account for a hybridization of specialized discourses: from the expected gastronomic discourse to the scientific-medical one, up to the religious and legal discourses. More specifically, the hybridization between the gastronomic and religious discourses is typical of many cultures tourists and migrants hosted by the seaside resorts belong to, informing their respective social and legal systems. In the case study under analysis, a sample of subjects with different linguacultural and ethnic backgrounds was selected (i.e., a male Chinese tourist, a female Israeli tourist and a male Nigerian migrant). These subjects were asked to share their food schemata, involving the Chinese cuisine and medicine as well as Jewish and Islamic dietary norms, in order to apply them to the creation of promotional slogans to advertise on a special website the Mediterranean Diet as a luxury product recommended by the restaurants of the seaside resorts that tourists and migrants were staying at. These participants were asked to read a popularized text on Nutrigenomics (i.e., the branch of genomic research affirming that the degree to which diet influences the balance between health and disease depends on an individual’s genetic makeup or ‘ethnic genotype’ determining their ‘race’). The text was also integrated with another one regarding the health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet. The goal was twofold: on the one hand, to associate a food tradition like the Mediterranean one, normally regarded as ‘humble cuisine’, to the well-known legal-religious and medical norms of other cultures and, on the other hand, to raise the prestige of the Mediterranean Diet contextualizing it in an advanced scientific domain like that of Nutrigenomics. Both goals aim at the re-evaluation of the Mediterranean diet as a luxury product to be promoted in the context of a Responsible Tourism that associates luxury with the psycho-physical wellbeing of the individual as well as that of the community as a whole. Through the ‘Think-aloud technique’, the participants’ schemata were explored as they were interpreting this text on the basis of which they were then expected to create their advertising slogans for the promotion of the Mediterranean Diet.

Australian population: ethnic origins

Australia’s ethnic make-up has changed sharply over recent years as a consequence of the new and diverse source countries feeding Australia’s migration program. New estimates of ‘ethnic strength’ for 1999 show that Australia’s people remain predominantly Anglo-Celtic in origin. However, the Anglo- Celtic share has fallen from 90 per cent in 1947 to 74.5 per cent in 1988, and to 70 per cent in 1999. Projections for the future indicate that if recent immigration trends are maintained the Anglo-Celtic share will fall to 62.2 per cent in 2025. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s
