Causes of Saudi Students’ Unwillingness to Communicate in the EFL Classrooms

It can be argued that the ultimate goal of ESL\EFL pedagogy is to enable students to have communicative competence. To achieve this, EFL teachers implement various techniques and strategies that aim to produce communicatively competent students. Nevertheless, one of the major challenges teachers encounter is that students are often passive, unresponsive and unwilling to speak in the classroom. Accordingly, the current study seeks to investigate the causes of Saudi students' unwillingness to communicate in the EFL classroom. A total of 136 Saudi female preparatory year students at the English Language Institute (ELI) in King Abdulaziz University (KAU) participated in this study. To gain a deeper understanding of the causes of this phenomenon, a mixed methods approach was adopted. Two data collection instruments were utilized in this study: an online questionnaire with 126 participants and semi-structured interviews with 10 participants. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data obtained from the questionnaire, and the qualitative data obtained from the interviews were analyzed thematically using NVivo. The findings of the study revealed that the unwillingness to communicate is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that can stem from multiple causes. The main causes reported by the participants were fear of making mistakes, low language proficiency, fear of negative evaluation, shyness, lack of self-confidence, inefficient school education, and teacher\classmates related factors. The study concluded by briefly stating some of the limitations, offering recommendations for future research, and providing valuable suggestions for English language practitioners and policymakers to enhance this communication obstacle

Clustering-based task coordination to search and rescue teamwork of multiple agents

It is important to have reasonable task coordination and path planning in rescue operations after a large-scale urban disaster. Whereas, there are many problems which can hamper rescue operations, such as communication obstacles, collapsed buildings, and secondary disaster. This article proposes a novel approach named ISODATA-K to achieve the task coordination and execution with heterogeneous ad hoc multi-agent. Inspired by the clustering analysis, ISODATA-K method, which does not require any input and threshold parameters, assigns the rescue agents to every area of the damaged city adaptively and efficiently. When the rescue agents get respective task, the path planning is done by A* algorithm which costs little time to find the relatively short route. The results of experiments demonstrate that the proposed method allows satisfactory rescue operations.

Communication as necessary factor of a collective remembrance of the common life on example of Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija

Far-reaching consequences that linguistic policy may leave in the future decades are denoted in the paper, especially in regions where two nations with their differences interlace. After the World War II, it was enabled for the Albanians in the region of Kosovo and Metohija to get education entirely in their mother tongue, Albanian language, which simultaneously reduced the range of interactions with fellow citizens of Serbian nationality, the ability to understand each other, reducing also their professional possibilities. The years that followed only deepened the linguistic barrier between the two nations living in the same region, which inevitably led to constantly growing ethnic distance and escalation of conflicts. Empirical researches regarding the linguistic and ethnic distance between the Serbs and Albanians were conducted among Serbian students in Kosovska Mitrovica and Albanian students in Pristina after a long time, in December 2016 and January 2017. An opinion poll in the field was implemented along with the representative sample, while Likert scale and modified Bogardus scale were used as instruments. The obtained results showed both the ignorance of the language of the other ethnic group and unwillingness to master that language, as an obstacle for communication. The results could be the guidelines for future state linguistic and educational policy in this region. Ethnic minorities have an indisputable right to foster their mother tongue and culture but necessarily must also master the language of the state whose territory they live on. On the other hand, the Serbian population also should get to know the language of fellow citizens - Albanians, primarily for establishing communication and better understanding, but also for improving the quality of life. Establishing such a linguistic policy would gradually remove linguistic barriers, leading to the reduction of ethnic distance. It would create also the presumptions for overcoming the ?ethnic cultural memory? that deepens differences by its unilaterality, i.e. it would create conditions for the transmission of over-ethnic memory to a common life in the region where such life existed. It would represent the first condition for establishing a common ?cultural memory?.

Bioterrorism: Are the Indonesian State Defense Components Ready to Face It? (Implementation Analysis of Ministry of Defense Regulation Number 19 Year 2015)

Background: Indonesian contextual circumstances pose various potential threats to the safety of the country. These threats are the primary cause for developing a good defense system in the country that is able to tackle real and potential threats. Defense Ministry Regulation Number 19 year 2015 classifies threats into three based on the type and duration, including hybrid threats, which one possibility is the use of biological agents as weapons in bioterrorism.

Method: Thisis a qualitative analytic study. Informants were chosen using a purposive approach. It was done under the consideration that detailed information regarding readiness of the National Defense Component of Republic of Indonesia in the face of bioterrorism threats is crucial. Data collected from informants is supported by expert judgment for triangulation purpose. Result: The results show that there are many obstacles in the implementation of the Ministry of Defense Regulations in the environment of the primary and supporting state defense components. These include no direct socialization of the primary policies which leads to poor coordination and integration between defense components. Hence, the primary aim of integrating the entire primary and supporting strength components are not well achieved. Conclusion: Coordination between the primary and supporting state defense components overcoming the threat of bioterrorism have yet to be defined in a clear roadmap as there are obstacles in communication, coordination, and synchronization between sectors. The nextstep isto determine the urgency of bioterrorism, to form a consideration across sectors regarding the importance of forming regulations to encompass overcoming bioterrorism in Indonesia.

Hemşirelerde Psikolojik Şiddet ve Verilen Tepkiler Üzerine Bir Araştırma - An Investigation on Psychological Violence in Nurses and Their Reactions

In this study, it was aimed to determine the factors that affect nurses' perception levels of psychological violence they face, and their counter reactions and reaction levels. 320 nurses working in Suleyman Demirel University Research and Application Hospital in July 2017 constituted the population of the study. An attempt to reach the entire population was made without performing any sample selection; however, 186 nurses agreed to participate in the study. As a result of the study, it was determined that 73% of female nurses and 79% of male nurses were exposed to psychological violence at least once. When the nurses' reactions to psychological violence and their reaction levels are evaluated; it has been observed that the most powerful reaction behaviors are “trying to find a solution by speaking face to face” and “reporting behaviors to the upper authority”. It was determined that nurses' levels of reactions against psychological violence were directly proportional to their perception levels of psychological violence, that the dimensions of sexual harassment, discrimination and humiliation had no effect on reaction levels, and that the dimension of communication obstacles increased the reaction level. It is expected that nurses with high perception levels of communication obstacles will have higher levels of reactions against psychological violence.

Assessing Sustainable Food and Nutrition Security of the EU Food System—An Integrated Approach

Steering the EU food system towards a sustainability transformation requires a vast and actionable knowledge base available to a range of public and private actors. Few have captured this complexity by assessing food systems from a multi-dimensional and multi-level perspective, which would include (1) nutrition and diet, environmental and economic outcomes together with social equity dimensions and (2) system interactions across country, EU and global scales. This paper addresses this gap in food systems research and science communication by providing an integrated analytical approach and new ways to communicate this complexity outside science. Based on a transdisciplinary science approach with continuous stakeholder input, the EU Horizon2020 project ‘Metrics, Models and Foresight for European SUStainable Food And Nutrition Security’ (SUSFANS) developed a five-step process: Creating a participatory space; designing a conceptual framework of the EU food system; developing food system performance metrics; designing a modelling toolbox and developing a visualization tool. The Sustainable Food and Nutrition-Visualizer, designed to communicate complex policy change-impacts and trade-off questions, enables an informed debate about trade-offs associated with options for change among food system actors as well as in the policy making arena. The discussion highlights points for further research related to indicator development, reach of assessment models, participatory processes and obstacles in science communication.

Communication and Police Organizations: The Case of Compstat

Effective communication is suggested to be crucial for the success of organizations. In terms of police organizations, the hierarchical and bureaucratic structure, chain of command, centralized decision making, and cultural tendency to hide information that remain in many police organizations is believed to be the major obstacle in effective communication which, in turn, leads to coordination problems, distortion and unresponsiveness to environmental changes. Practical solutions in popular books remain in theory without organizing a system for effective communication. This article analyzes communication aspect of a popular management model in the USA called Compstat which is suggested to help organizing a system for effective communication in police organizations. The data is collected through the interviews of 26 police officers and observation of Compstat meetings for 6 months in a large police organization (Newark Police Department) located in the USA. The findings suggest that Compstat model helped to overcome the communication problems rooted in bureaucracy and hierarchy of police organizations. However, there are still some problems in terms of disseminating information to frontline officers, the extent and quality of information sharing and expressing their thoughts freely in the regular Compstat meetings. Based on these findings, this article discusses deeply the contribution of this model for the communication problems in the police organizations and gives suggestions for practitioners.

THE CONCEPT OF ʻTERM’ AS A LINGUISTIC PROBLEM: APPROACHES TO THE DEFINITION AND HISTORY OF RESEARCH

The article applies to the investigation of the ‘term’ notion in linguistics. On the basis of the carried analysis terminological problems of the modern linguistics has been studied.Term is a word or word combination defining the meaning of a certain area of knowledge or human activity.The main characteristics of a term are: system sign – each term is a part of a certain terminological system having a definite terminological meaning; accuracy – a term gives full and detailed reflection of its sense; the aspiration for unambiguity in the terms of its system; definitional characteristic – a definition describing its meaning accurately.Depending on the level of term meaning, specialization terms are divided into three groups. General scientific terms are used almost in all sectorial terminologies. Inter sectorial terms are found in several close or remote areas. Direct sectorial terms are characterized only by a certain area.Today they distinguish the main tendencies of practical linguistics: lexicographical and terminological activity, as well as organizational and methodological activity, standardization of terms and terminological systems (normalization, terminological editing), the terms translation via scientific and technical specific texts, designing of terminological database.Modern linguistics studies terminological problems of the following orientations: the linguistic description of a term and terminological organization origin; automated methods of terminology analysis; the terminology analysis for a language construction for modern information systems; scientific and technical terminology standardization.Scientific and technical progress implies the appearance of a number of new terms and concepts. A specialist has to be versed in formation regularities, the regularities of operation and development of his language in order to neglect the communicative obstacles where it is demanded.
