The Effectiveness of Think-Pair-Share Strategy on EFL Omani Learners’ Vocabulary Achievement and Insights

This quasi-experimental study investigated the effectiveness of using the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy on EFL Omani learners’ vocabulary achievement. It also documented learners’ perceptions regarding the importance of their practicing the TPS strategy in general. The study sample included two groups, one control and one experimental, in the 2023–2024 academic year. Two research instruments were used to collect data: a vocabulary test and a student perceptions questionnaire. Both groups were pretested to assess their vocabulary achievement and to ensure equivalence between them. Students in the experimental group received a four-week TPS intervention whereas their counterparts were taught using a conventional method. The questionnaire explored students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of TPS. The results showed significant differences between the control and experimental groups in vocabulary achievement in favor of the experimental group. Additionally, the results revealed that students held positive views regarding TPS implementation. Implications were made to introduce TPS for Omani learners.

Americans’ attitudes towards the U.S. women’s national soccer team

ABSTRACT The United States Women’s National Soccer Team has been the recent subject of public celebration and critique, reflecting responses to the team’s competitive successes and activist efforts amid heightened political polarization in the U.S. Yet while studies have considered fandom of the team or trends in media, no research has examined patterns of public attitude towards the USWNT. We use data from a 2023 national survey of U.S. adults (N = 2,032) to examine public attitudes and their demographic predictors, positioning patterns in context of the cultural and political environment in professional sport. Findings show moderately positive views of the team, with just over half of respondents agreeing that they view the team positively and feel positively about team players as role models. Gender, education, and political orientation predict attitudes in regression models, with men, those with lower levels of education, and political conservatives holding more negative attitudes.

Religious Doubts and Emotions Toward God in Adolescents: Relation to Self-Esteem and Meaning in Life

Religious doubt (RD) and emotions toward God (EtGs) are areas of religiosity and spirituality that can play a role in the development and well-being of youth. The aim of this study is to investigate whether RD and EtGs are related to self-esteem and meaning in life in adolescents and what factors may be associated with them in a secular setting. A sample of Czech adolescents (n = 984, mean age 16.61, SD 1.21; 28% male) participated in the online survey. We measured RD, EtGs, meaning in life (ML) divided into presence (ML-P) and seeking (ML-S), adolescents’ self-esteem (ASE), faith in the adolescent environment, the perception of religion and church, and religious education (RE). RD and negative EtGs were associated with reduced ML-P. Negative EtGs were associated with a reduction in ASE. However, positive EtGs were associated with an increase in ML-P. Respondents experiencing faith in their environment, having a positive view of church and religion, and enriching RE were more likely to report a decrease in RD and an increase in positive EtGs and vice versa. Our findings suggest that RD and EtGs are related to adolescents’ well-being and point to factors to be adequately addressed to minimize the negative impact of RD and promote positive EtGs.

A Qualitative Assessment of South Africa's Central Chronic Medication Dispensing and Distribution Program for Differentiated Antiretroviral Therapy Delivery in Umlazi Township, South Africa: Client Perspectives after 12 Months of Participation.

South Africa's Central Chronic Medicine Dispensing and Distribution (CCMDD) program provides community-based medication delivery for clinically stable people with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART). To evaluate CCMDD implementation, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 60 PWH enrolled in CCMDD for at least 12 months. In a directed content analysis based on the Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) implementation science framework, key themes were compared with qualitative data collected from PWH enrolling in CCMDD at an earlier time-point. Results indicated consistently positive views of CCMDD, primarily attributed to convenient and smooth medication pick-up. At the later (vs. earlier) time-point, participants discussed less clinic crowding, mentioned few medication errors, and noted improved communication around refills. Community HIV stigma was a persistent challenge, as was nurses' judgmental communication style. To ensure CCMDD's success, continued focus is needed on decreasing HIV stigma beyond the clinic context and improving provider-patient relationships.

Exploring patient perspectives on the impact of resuming cost sharing: a qualitative analysis

IntroductionThe ACCESS trial showed that those who received a copayment elimination benefit had a modest improvement in their adherence to medications, but no improvement in clinical outcomes. This is consistent with other studies that have demonstrated that time-limited copayment elimination was welcomed by participants. However, the removal of such benefits can be problematic, as participants may have become accustomed to receiving the benefit, and made changes to their spending that would need to be reconsidered. We aimed to explore participants’ experience with resuming cost sharing for their medications at the end of the ACCESS trial and if this experience influenced their willingness to participate in future trials like ACCESS.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured interviews with 21 former participants of the ACCESS trial who were receiving the copayment elimination intervention, with discussions focused on the loss of the copayment elimination. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed in duplicate using thematic analysis.ResultsFour primary themes emerged from the analysis, including emotionality regarding loss of benefits; notification of benefit termination, describing tangible losses from coverage ending, but resistance to acknowledging negative impacts; and acceptability of receiving a temporary financial benefit. Many participants described negative emotions around the loss of coverage and concern about affording care for their chronic diseases. Despite negative emotions about the end of their study benefit, participants generally had a positive view of the study and would participate again in a future study of this nature.ConclusionThe positive tangible and emotional benefits of the copayment elimination over 3 years outweighed the negative emotions and impacts associated with having to become reaccustomed to life without it.Patient and public contributionWithin the ACCESS trial, participants were involved in the design, modification, and implementation of the program using multiple focus groups. The current study aimed to engage patients to provide input on their experience and engagement with the copayment elimination program.

HOUSING SUPPORT POLICIES IN PANDEMIC TIMES AND INTERRELATIONS WITH INSTITUTIONAL TRUST: A MIXED-METHODS APPROACH

Housing was crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic, as “staying at home” was the first line of defense against the virus. To reduce the economic downturn’s impact on housing security, preventive and supportive measures were developed, such as moratoria on rents and mortgages. This paper aims to analyze the opinions of tenants and indebted homeowners about the housing support policies implemented during the pandemic crisis and explore the relation with the level of trust in institutions — an aspect not yet studied. A mixed-methods approach is used based on quantitative and qualitative data from a nationwide online survey conducted in 2021. Quantitative data was analyzed using the software SPSS, and qualitative data was analyzed through thematic analysis. Thematic analysis of 377 answers to open questions (e.g., “What is your opinion on the exceptional financial regime for payment of rents?”) shows that homeowners’ opinions (positive or negative) are mainly supported by their perceptions of the effectiveness of measures introduced to protect families from economic shocks resulting from the pandemic. For tenants, besides effectiveness, opinions are also determined by evaluation of the quality-of-service delivery and responsiveness. Variance analysis shows that tenants with a positive opinion tend to present higher levels of trust in public institutions compared to those with an unfavorable opinion. The study shows that housing support measures during COVID-19 in Portugal were met with mixed trust levels, with positive views linked to higher institutional trust and negative perceptions tied to concerns over fairness, efficiency, and long-term impacts. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of effective policy design and implementation in times of crisis and the psychosocial consequences of not achieving envisioned aims.

Economic Contribution, Characterization, and Motivations of Tourists: The Raymi Llaqta in Peru

This study assesses the economic contribution and motivations of tourists attending the Raymi Llaqta festival in Chachapoyas, Peru. This study used an econometric analysis based on the application of two types of regression models: non-zero truncated Poisson regression and zero-truncated negative binomial regression. Data were collected through face-to-face structured interviews with domestic and foreign tourists who visited Chachapoyas during the festival. Results indicate significant spending on accommodation, food, transportation, and activities. Tourist satisfaction averaged 3.7, with notable appreciation for the festival’s variety, authenticity, local hospitality, and safety. While both foreign and domestic tourists expressed positive views on the cultural representation and organization of the event, they suggested improvements in hygiene and promotional efforts. Despite using a structured questionnaire, response bias could affect the accuracy of self-reported experiences. This research provides valuable insights into the festival’s direct economic impact on the local economy and highlights the importance of high tourist satisfaction for effective marketing strategies.

Perspectives on Telemedicine Visits Reported by Patients With Cancer.

The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed rapid adoption of telemedicine visits for cancer care delivery. However, patients' experiences with telemedicine remain poorly understood. To understand patients' satisfaction with telemedicine visits at a comprehensive cancer center. This survey study included patients with cancer at a US cancer center between 2020 and 2023. Eligible patients completed surveys in English conducted after their first telemedicine appointment via an online patient portal. Data were analyzed between January and June 2024. Patient surveys about telemedicine experiences, with a specific comparison with an in-person visit. Structured items elicited satisfaction with the specific visit, preferences for future use of telemedicine, and technical ease of use; unstructured free-text responses were also elicited. Proportion of patients who indicated that telemedicine visits were superior or preferred to in-person visits. Secondary outcomes included multivariable analysis of barriers to telemedicine use and variations in patient experiences by demographic characteristics over the observation period, and free-text analysis of unstructured responses describing the telemedicine experience using the BERTopic algorithm and a language model. A total of 27 435 telemedicine users completed surveys from May 2020 to October 2023 (median [IQR] age, 65 [55-72] years; 15 072 female [54.9%]; 1771 Asian [6.7%], 1339 Black [5.1%], 22 742 White [85.9%]). Overall, 18 025 of 24 418 patients (73.8%) rated their first telemedicine visit as good as or better than an in-person visit, and 4606 (18.9%) rated it superior to an in-person visit. The proportion of patients rating a telemedicine visit superior to an in-person visit evolved from 17% in 2020 to 20% in 2023. Structured questions revealed a positive view of telemedicine, while free-text analyses highlighted issues with technology. In this survey study of perspectives on telemedicine visits, a large majority of patients at a comprehensive cancer center expressed satisfaction with telemedicine visits in proportions that remained consistent beyond the end of the pandemic. These findings challenge health care systems to integrate telemedicine into routine cancer care and to overcome remaining technical challenges and barriers to ease of use.

Teachers’ Perspectives on AI-Driven Quillionz for Generating EFL Reading Comprehension Quizzes

Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) has significant impacts on language learning and teaching, providing innovative pedagogies in sustainable educational settings. Among the powerful tools stands Quillionz (https://www.quillionz.com), a free AI-powered platform for building questions, quizzes, and assessments. Nevertheless, there has been little research on teachers’ experiences and perceptions of using Quillionz in EFL classroom settings. This study set out to explore teachers’ perspectives on utilizing Quillionz to generate reading comprehension quizzes for non-English major students through a pre and post-survey design. The research employed both qualitative and quantitative methods with Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 48 English teachers from a vocational college in Hanoi before and after using Quillionz over four weeks. A paired sample T-Test was conducted to explore shifts in teachers’ perceptions. Subsequently, in-depth interviews were carried out with 10 randomly selected participants for further investigation. The findings revealed positive views among teachers towards Quillionz, its identified potential, and suggestions for more effective implementation. This paper makes a significant contribution to the integration of technology in language teaching, thereby enhancing students’ learning experiences.

Abolishing age criterion to determine organ transplant recipients in Israel: A qualitative study of medical staff perceptions

IntroductionSince April 2014 the age limitation on candidates listed for organ transplantation in Israel was abolished following the recommendations of a Public Committee. In this research the new policy was examined in light of scarce medical resources and the increased rate of aging in Israel. MethodsThe opinions of twelve medical staff regarding the policy change were analyzed by a qualitative methodology, using semi-structured interviews. ResultsInterviews with medical staff members revealed three main themes: 1. positive acceptance of the new policy; 2. concerns and problems regarding the change; and 3. the influence of the policy change on the organ transplant allocation system and patient-doctor relationships. Discussion and ConclusionsThe medical staff expressed positive views towards the new policy, based on age-free, individually determined admission to transplant waiting lists. However, some concerns were raised regarding the medical implications of this policy, thus potentially hindering its full application.

Morphological adaptation strategy of invasive plant Ambrosia trifida seed distributed along rivers is closely related to soil nutrients

Rivers are crucial in the spread of invasive plants. Invasive plants alter their seed traits to adapt to environmental changes and promote invasion. Studying the trait changes in invasive plant seeds may improve the understanding of their propagation mechanisms along the river and provide appropriate control measures. In this study, seven Ambrosia trifida populations along the Liaohe River were used as study subjects. The results showed that the seven A. trifida populations were closely related and exhibited a certain gene exchange, but the absence of evidence of directed gene flow among populations did not confirm that rivers were the medium of seed dispersal of A. trifida. Along the Liaohe River, from top to bottom, the positive view area, length, width, perimeter, and thousand seed weight of A. trifida seeds showed an increasing trend. The total nitrogen and phosphorus contents in the river water of the A. trifida population in the lower reaches of the Liaohe River were higher than those at the other sites. Furthermore, along the river, from top to bottom, the available nitrogen, total nitrogen, total potassium, available potassium, and organic matter contents in the soil in which A. trifida populations grew showed significant increasing trends. River structure, water quality, and soil nutrients had direct and indirect effects on seed morphology. Soil total nitrogen, available potassium, and organic matter had significant positive effects on seed positive view area and perimeter, suggesting that the maternal effect played a critical role in shaping seed morphology. Our analysis showed that soil nutrients along the river may be the primary driver that governs changes in A. trifida seed traits.

Assessment of knowledge and perception of prescribers towards rational medicine use in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.

Prescribers must possess extensive knowledge and maintain a positive attitude towards the rational use of medicines to achieve desirable treatment outcomes and effectively prevent treatment failures, increased costs, drug toxicities, and interactions. The objective of this study was to evaluate prescribers' understanding and perception concerning the rational use of medicines in public hospitals. Additionally, the study aimed to identify the factors that influence rational prescribing practices. A structured data instrument was developed to collect demographic data and evaluate participants' knowledge and perception of rational medicine use, in line with the study objectives. Chi-squared statistics and Fisher's exact test were utilized to identify factors associated with good knowledge and perception among participants. Logistic regression was then employed to assess the strength of the associations, with odd ratios reported at a significant level of 0.05. Out of 192 participants, 85.4% held a positive view of rational medicine use, stressing patient safety and recognizing risks like antimicrobial resistance and polypharmacy. Perception was influenced by factors such as prescriber profession, access to references, and drug bulletin updates. Additionally, 65.6% demonstrated good knowledge of rational medicine use, which was notably influenced by factors like using standard prescribing guidelines, having a functional Drug and Therapeutics Committee, prescriber profession, and the frequency of drug bulletin updates. The study emphasizes the critical need to address knowledge gaps among healthcare professionals, especially nurses and other prescribers, to ensure the safe and effective use of medications. It highlights the positive influence of utilizing preferred prescribing references and the existence of functional Drug and Therapeutics Committees in hospitals on knowledge levels. However, the unexpected findings regarding the limited impact of frequent updates of drug bulletins require further investigation.

중등학교 기악 교육의 내용과 방법, 평가에 관한 실태 분석

This study aims to analyze the current state, perceptions, and demands related to instrumental education in secondary school music classes, which has been receiving increasing emphasis in recent years, in order to identify issues and discuss possible solutions. To achieve this, various literature on the content, methods, and assessment of instrumental education was reviewed. Based on this review, a survey tool was developed to examine the actual state and demands of instrumental education, and a survey was conducted among secondary school music teachers across the nation. Statistical analysis was performed on the responses from 63 participants. The analysis revealed that secondary school music teachers strongly recognized the necessity of instrumental education. As a result, it was found that the majority of class time in music lessons is devoted to instrumental education. Most teachers also perceived a high level of student participation in instrumental lessons and held a very positive view of instrumental education. However, instrumental education was mainly limited to solo instrument instruction, focusing on posture, techniques, and basic performance skills, while instrumental ensemble activities were not well implemented, despite teachers’ high awareness of their importance. The predominant teaching method involved teachers directly demonstrating through performance and using modeling as an instructional approach. However, teachers felt that their own performance skills were inadequate. In terms of assessment, it was found that the evaluation of artistic and creative expression was not being adequately conducted.

READING MATERIALS IN THE LIFE TODAY ENGLISH BOOK: EFL TEACHERS’ VIEWS

Book is a vital media in EFL Learning process. Life Today book is an English book that becomes one of the primary reading references. However, this book likely has not been widely used by teachers in Indonesia because it is still new. It is interesting to study more on this based on the teachers who have used it. This study examines the reading materials in the English Life Today book of 12 grade in Senior High School level based on EFL Teachers’ view. This research applied mix-method with the use of close-ended and open-ended questionnaires to obtain the opinions of 50 English teachers in Jakarta and some vicinities areas. After gathering the data, the researchers tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted it systematically. The findings showed that 50 EFL teachers dominantly gave positive views towards reading materials in the English Life Today book based on its reading contents aspect, language use, pre-and post-reading, and presentation aspects. The EFL teachers also gave constructive suggestion including the more variation topics need to be added, the extra thesaurus also need to be provided, and the separated reading texts needs to be identified to differentiate low and high students’ level.

What do college students think about artificial intelligence? We ask them

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming different aspects of the economy and society of countries. There are diverse effects when comparing the impact in developed versus developing countries. In the educational sector, efforts to incorporate AI have largely ignored the input from those directly impacted by it. This document presents results from a survey about AI to university students in Latin America. The information presented comes from a survey conducted in November 2023 to college students with ages between 18 and 25 years in four Latin American countries: Mexico, Argentina, Peru, and Ecuador. The results indicate that, in general, youth have a positive view about the potential of AI, though limited knowledge in the topic. Moreover, university students in the region do not want to be passive recipients of AI. They want to participate directly in conversations about this very current topic and have concerns about different aspects of AI implementation in the region. These findings highlight the need for universities, governments, civil society and international organizations and the private sector to work together to create spaces for inclusive dialogue where the youth could directly participate in conversations that crucially matter for their lives.

Competitive orientations in academically talented youth: Associations with psychosocial and school-related variables

ObjectivesThere are contrasting views of competition in educational settings and recent research has suggested that individuals have different competitive orientations. In this study, we assessed competitive orientations in a sample of high achieving adolescents in the United States. We also examined the association of competitive orientations to self-reported academic and psychosocial outcomes. MethodParticipants consisted of 420 academically talented students attending a summer program. Academic outcomes included academic self-efficacy, academic engagement, school belonging, and positive views of teachers; psychosocial outcomes included work ethic, hope, and curiosity. The 15-item version of the Multidimensional Competitive Orientation Inventory was used to measure competitive orientations. ResultsResults supported the psychometric integrity of five competitive orientations: Self-Developmental, Hypercompetitive, Anxiety-Driven, Fear of Losing, and Lack of Interest. The Self-Developmental competitive orientation was positively associated with most of the outcome variables, but the Hypercompetitive orientation was not, and the other three orientations were negatively related to outcomes. Latent profile analyses yielded four profiles labeled Self-Developmental, Uninterested Anxious, Avoidant, and Conflicted Competitors. The Self-Developmental and the Conflicted Competitors reported higher scores than the Avoidant Competitors on the majority of outcomes, and higher scores than the Uninterested Anxious group on half of the outcomes. ConclusionThe results suggest that competitive orientations can be measured with integrity in high achieving students and play a role in how these students engage in the world. We contend that competitive orientations should be considered in studies of competition and competitive contexts.

Parent's Perspectives on Boarding Schools in Primary Education Settings: The Case of Std Vi and Vii in Magharibi B District Unguja

This paper is set to determine the Parents' perspectives on boarding schools in Zanzibar. The study is expected to provide insights into the Parents' perspectives and experiences regarding boarding schools in primary school settings, especially for STD VI and VII. The study will shed light on the benefits, challenges, and potential outcomes associated with boarding in primary school settings from different parents. The study utilized the Social Learning Theory developed by Albert Bandura, which is a psychological framework that emphasizes the role of observation, imitation, and modeling in the learning process. This theory highlighted the impact of models in shaping behavior, both positive and negative, and demonstrated how children could imitate aggressive behavior they witnessed in adults. In this study, data was gathered directly from primary sources through various methods such as interviews, Questionnaires, and group discussions in order to give chances for any respondent to give out his or her view about boarding schools in primary education settings in confidence and freeway. The findings indicate that parents prefer boarding schools as they provide a conducive learning environment, help in students' social development, and safety in boarding schools is well-managed. Also, boarding schools have adequate resources and facilities and communication between parents and boarding schools is effective. The study concludes that parents hold varied perspectives on boarding schools, emphasizing their perceived benefits such as conducive learning environments, social development opportunities, and well-managed safety protocols. These positive views are complemented by concerns about resource adequacy, communication effectiveness, and the rigidity of the boarding school environment

Vaccination in the post pandemic era - a qualitative study of the experiences of Somali immigrants

Abstract Background The Somali population is the largest non-European immigrant group in Norway and past studies have indicated lower coverage for both childhood vaccines and COVID-19. However, little is known about views and experiences of vaccination among this group and how their experiences might impact their vaccination decision-making process. This study explored views and experiences with vaccination among Somali immigrants in Norway. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 participants in the fall of 2022. To better understand the participants’ perceptions of vaccine information, the data was inductively analyzed using a reflexive thematic analysis. Results Based on the thematic analysis, we focused on four sub themes: 1) the impact of COVID-19 on views of vaccines; 2) new versus old vaccines; 3) childhood vaccination; 4) trust in vaccines. The study found that the participants’ experiences during the pandemic have impacted their views on vaccination in general. Many of the participants expressed positive views and high levels of trust in the Norwegian health authorities and their vaccination recommendations. It was found that having sufficient information and trust in vaccination recommendations contributed to higher vaccine readiness. Viewing vaccines as new and insufficiently tested or researched, as well as lacking information about potential side-effects, increased participants’ hesitancy when faced with vaccination decisions. Among the parents in this study, postponing the measles-mumps-rubella-vaccine due to fear of autism was a common occurrence. Conclusions The current study fills an important gap in knowledge about views, experiences, and vaccination decisions among the Somali population in Norway. Knowledge from this study can help adapt better vaccine information and further improve the prevention of infectious diseases in Norway in general and for under-vaccinated groups in particular. Key messages • Having sufficient information and trust in vaccination recommendations contributed to higher vaccine readiness. • Viewing vaccines as new and insufficiently tested/researched, as well as lacking information about potential side-effects, increased participants’ vaccine hesitancy.

Communication of EU agricultural antibiotic use policies to farmers & implications for public health

Abstract Background It is estimated that by 2050, ten million people will die each year from antimicrobial resistant infections. AMR is driven by the improper use of antimicrobials, particularly in agriculture. 73% of the antimicrobials sold globally are used in food-producing animals. Problem EU regulations 2019/6 and 2019/4 on veterinary medications and medicated feed require behavior change by farmers to reduce their antimicrobial use. While this is welcomed by public health professionals, the response of the farming community is more complicated, as these regulations exist within the complex context of the global food system and current political unrest between farmers and the EU. Given the influential role of agricultural media for farmers’ decision making, it is critical to understand how AMR and associated public health and EU policies are being communicated to farmers and how the views of specific stakeholders including farmer representative organizations, veterinary bodies and government regulators are being represented. To examine this problem, a case study content analysis of three major agricultural newspapers in Ireland is undertaken. Results Preliminary results suggest that AMR and AMU have been covered in the agricultural media with specific coverage on these EU policies. This includes negative coverage, with key terms such as “threatens”, “risk”, or “warns”, as well as potentially positive views (e.g. “hope”). Preliminary results also suggest that the agricultural media might be a useful source to identify the farming community’s concerns and reactions to EU policy, for example calls by farmer representative bodies for the national government to intervene. Lessons Public health professionals must recognize the important role of farmers in addressing AMR. Evaluating how EU policies on AMR are represented in the agricultural media can help to better understand how this public health issue and its solutions are being communicated to these important stakeholders. Key messages • Public health professionals must recognize the importance of animal health and the role of farmers in addressing the AMR problem. • It is critical to evaluate how EU policies on AMR and associated One Health issues are communicated to non-public health professionals.
