Teaching and Learning of Analytical Writing: A Study on the Tertiary Level Students in Dhaka

Shamsi Farzana

Assistant. Professor, Department of English, Shanto-Mariam University of Creative Technology, Uttara, Dhaka, Bangladesh, Email: shamsiaparajita@gmail.com

Abstract

This article focuses on three core dimensions: Teachers and students with a wide curricular approach should concentrate on comprehensiveness and apply the strategies in reading and writing of analytical issues. The students will belong to in total four universities around Dhaka. I will also mostly depend on conceptual and theoretical books of- Mike Rose, “Remedial Writing Courses: A critique and a proposal,” and Linda Flower’s “Writer-Based prose: A Cognitive Basis for problems in Writing,” I along with co-researchers will also visit different universities and affiliated colleges in Dhaka and converse with different learners of both the language and literature classes, guardians and teachers. Two sets of questionnaires will be introduced: one for teacher and another for students. Two questionnaires will serve for survey for students and teachers. Students will make group work. In this study, qualitative variable will be used. Here I will assist the teachers to think and explore the way to improve university students’ writing skill in the target level. As a result, I will try to find evidence or supports about how effectively a teacher can educate the learners at the tertiary level by going to four major public and private universities who will sit for pre-test and after training post-test. These variables are independent variables and their pre-assured narrative writing skill remained the same as they cannot think of things by themselves since they depend on teachers or notes which a dependable variable is. Here Teachers’ efficacy in carrying out their development is the intervening variable. I will take interviews of resource persons for conducting a grounded theory through Stratified Random Sampling regarding such an approach. Afterwards, I will make necessary notes based on the findings. I will arrange those inputs (10 questions) into a Likart scale. Then Qualitative Data can be converted to Quantitative Data by the same Likart Scale. By using parametric tests. Then their relation or their compare/contrast status will be presented through Regression Model when reduced to nominal levels of agree versus disagree through Chi-square test in order to infer a theory. I hope other researchers around the world tried and got a solution. Though a few numbers of learners could improve well but a great number of them still will be struggling in Bangladesh. My research will highlight on their progress by the leadership, guidance and counselling attitude of the teacher.

Key Words: Teachers’ Efficacy, Cognitive Strategy, Analytical Writing, Tertiary EFL students.

ANALYSIS OF MARKET GROWTH STRATEGIES IN A MULTINATIONAL COMPANY: A CASE OF HISENSE

Mohammad Salamah Almahairah, Department of Business Administration,, Al-Isra University, Amman, Jordan

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to analyze the different business growth strategies of a multinational company. I have taken Hisense as a case. A growth strategy is one under which management plans to advance further and achieve growth of the enterprise, in fields of manufacturing, marketing, financial resources etc. As growth entails risk, especially in a dynamic economy, a growth strategy might be described as the safest policy of growth-maximizing gains and minimizing risk and untoward consequences. Setting strategic directions for a business is the most complex task facing the management team and these complexities arise from a variety of reasons that is peculiar to strategy making. This is so because strategy making is about the future and this future is unknown since the paths companies follow are dynamic as strategies can be developed through a complex combination of various processes. My study tries to identify the strategic market types implemented by a multinational company. Secondly how the strategic types affect the market share of this company. I have achieved it through a case study of Hisense whereby the concept of market growth strategy has been used.

The Effects of COVID-19 on Private Banking Sector of Bangladesh

Mir Mahmudul Haque Chowdhury, M.Phil. Fellow, Department of Accounting & Information Systems, Islamic University, Kushtia, Bangladesh

Afroza Sultana, Lecturer, Southeast University, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Abstract

To explore the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Private Banking sector is the main objective of the study. We have used twelve years’ historical data from 2008 to 2019 of the aggregate private commercial banks in order to explore trends and examine the effect of pandemic on the past critical success factors. The result shows that the pandemic has effect on both balance sheet and income statement of banks. The effect is shadowed during the current year due to good performance record all through pre COVID period. Nevertheless, it won’t take much time to feel the effect of the pandemic in the private banking system as well. Therefore, the notion of considering banks less vulnerable to the crisis should be swatted. The study identified immediate liquidity need of around Taka 17 billion to private banks so that they can comfortably meet the CRR’s liquidity requirement. This in fact will be challenged by less resource mobilization and reduced loan collection of Taka 10 billion per quarter. The banking business after Covid-19 shall be intensified with new sources of growth: advisory services, e-commerce, digitalization, e-banking services etc. Online and digitalization will be the way forward. Comprehensive reform and finance sector restructuring programs should be thought of in order to accommodate such changes and speed up the recovery process.

Department of Orthopaedics, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Abstract
Background: Schwannomas are very common, benign, encapsulated tumors of the peripheral nerves. They rarely emerge from the posterior tibial nerve. Case Report: Here we report a case of an unusual schwannoma measuring 10×5×4 cm in a 24-year-old man. The mass was painful, and Tinel’s sign was positive. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that it originated from the posterior tibial nerve. En bloc resection of the tumor was performed. Histology revealed peripheral nerve schwannoma. Removal of tumor made patient pain free after surgery. Conclusion: A high index of suspicion with meticulous clinical examination is necessary for timely diagnosis of schwannoma.

Mosaicplasty by a Modified Lateral Malleolus Osteotomy Approach for Osteochondral Lesion of Talus

BS Rajsirish, Department of Orthopaedics, Muller Ortho Hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India;
Schiller Jos, Department of Arthoscopy and Sports Medicine, Baby Memorial Hospital, Kozhikode, Kerala, India.

Abstract
Background: Osteochondral lesions of talus commonly affect the medial and anterolateral dome. These acquired or idiopathic lesions of the articular cartilage are least likely to affect the posterolateral part of the dome. Furthermore, if encountered, they are difficult to manage due to the limited surgical exposure. Case Report: We report a case of idiopathic osteochondral lesion of the lateral talar dome in a 40-year-old male. He presented with recurrent ankle effusion and pain, disabling his activities of daily living. He was managed by osteochondral autologous grafting by a modified lateral malleolus osteotomy approach. Osteotomy site was fixed with 1/3rd tubular plate. Patient improved clinically. Conclusion: To overcome the complications associated with the traditional lateral trans-malleolar approach we made certain modifications like keeping the anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament intact. We believe this helps in minimizing lateral instability and could encourage more surgeons to take up this approach.

Department of Cardiology, LPS Institute of Cardiology, Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial Medical College, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Abstract
Background: Dissection of coronary artery is rare complication of cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention. Its retrograde extension to involve the ascending aorta is even rarer. Case Report: A 62-year-old male, hypertensive, and smoker was admitted with unstable angina. Coronary angiography revealed diffuse subtotal occlusion of proximal left anterior descending artery and tubular lesion with critical stenosis of large obtuse marginal branch. When right coronary artery was cannulated and contrast was injected, there was no regurgitation of contrast from its ostium. Suddenly patient complained of severe chest pain. Contrast spillage was noted from the right coronary artery ostium which revealed huge aorto-ostial dissection extending to ascending aorta. In view of hemodynamic instability, he was urgently transferred for restorative surgery. Conclusion: Aorto-coronary is rare but catastrophic complication of cardiac catheterization which can be successfully managed with surgery.

Building social capital from sport event participation: An exploration of the social impacts of participatory sport events on the community

Ran Zhou  &  Kyriaki Kaplanidou

Department of Tourism, Recreation and Sport Management, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA

Abstract

Participatory sport events have the potential to generate substantial social value in the local community. One important social benefit of such sport events is the development of social capital. However, little is known about the development and outcomes of social capital in the context of participatory sport events, such as running events. Taking a qualitative approach, the authors explored the social capital building among active participants in running events. The findings revealed that bonding capital is developed by all participants in the study while the bridging and linking capital varies by event type and involvement level. Moreover, four positive outcomes of social capital were identified: supportive attitude and behaviors, positive influence on others, pro-social behaviors, and increased everyday socialization. By generating these positive outcomes among the participants of this study, social capital has the potential to contribute to the community development and well-being. This study provides insights as to how social capital that stems from sport event participation can lead to the development of community in the long term. Suggestions are made for future research to test the relationships between social capital, its outcomes, and community development and well-being.

Recruiting and retaining girls in table tennis: Participant and club perspectives

Katie Rowe, Emma Sherry, Angela Osborne

 

Abstract

Government and sport stakeholders, in the Australian context, are focused on increasing girls’ participation in sport. Sport organizations, particularly those who receive limited government funding and commercial revenue, experience challenges in recruiting and retaining adolescent girls. In this paper, a case study of table tennis delivery in one Australian state, is presented, with a focus on the issue of girls’ participation. Framed using Green’s (2005) normative theory of sport development, and drawing on physical activity participation literature, micro- and meso-level factors are examined. The focus is placed on girls’ experiences participating in the sport of table tennis and how delivery stakeholders find the process of recruiting and retaining girls in the sport. Interviews and focus groups reveal that a male-dominated culture, resource constraints, and a host of social influences, including peer and parental influences, and the absence of a social norm around girls’ participation, are hampering this sport’s capacity to recruit and retain adolescent females. Organizational commitment at state and national levels are necessary if table tennis is to target the issue of gender balance within its junior participation market.

Introduction

When the Charlotte Hornets franchise began play in 1988, the National Basketball Association (NBA) team enjoyed widespread adoration among fans in the Charlotte community. When the Hornets left Charlotte in 2002, fans seemed largely apathetic due to the team and its owners having experienced some serious branding missteps. By 2013, Charlotte’s second NBA team, the Bobcats, was facing pressures regarding its own brand image. With the Hornets’ name recently available, the team had the option of reclaiming a name that had once been beloved in Charlotte – but resurrecting a brand would be fraught with challenges.

Despite numerous obstacles, in July 2013 the NBA Charlotte Bobcats announced that the team would be changing its name to the Charlotte Hornets. The struggles for the Charlotte (soon to be) Hornets to revive a once-beloved – but now tarnished – brand name were about to begin.

About (Case)

Jim Foster scanned the arborist’s report for a second time, just to make sure he hadn’t missed anything. However, the report was conclusive; the tree had declined to the point that it would not survive another year, and would have to be removed. Foster, the owner of the Selwyn Avenue Pub in Charlotte, NC, had dreaded this day, as this was more than just a tree, it was a signature feature of the Selwyn Pub. The Pub opened for business in 1990, and the tree, a massive willow oak estimated to be more than 100 years old, sat majestically in front of the building. It was a gathering point (“I’ll meet you at the big tree”), a conversation point, but was also essential to the outside seating at the Pub. The tree provided shade and cooling during the summer months, and some protection from wind and cool weather at other times of the year. It became part of the fabric of the business, and Foster knew that his regular customers would be dismayed at the news of the tree’s removal, Foster felt that he had to come up with a plan to replace the features of the tree that benefitted his outdoor customers or his business would suffer. Bringing in a replacement tree of that size and maturity was not an option; the solution had to be found elsewhere.

Determining classroom placement for first year English Language Learner students; Rodrigo H. Peña, Kingsville Independent School District; Gerri M. Maxwell, Texas A&M University – Kingsville.

Abstract

This study explores classroom placement for first year English Language Learner (ELL) students from the perspective of a dual language director and two bilingual education strategists. The study strives to interrogate classroom placement for first year ELL students whose language proficiency level is at beginning level. Through a process of coding data from interviews with the two bilingual strategists and the dual language coordinator, several significant themes emerged. These included the need for educators to: have the knowledge of full English immersion strategies, keep a balanced approach in the classroom, be aware of student frustration, understand code switching, and take advantage of professional development. The findings from this study will help school districts and administrators consider classroom placement options for first year ELL students whose language proficiency level is at beginning level.  Key Words: ELL, Sheltered Instruction, full English immersion

The Effects Multiple Intervention and Prevention Programs Have on the Graduation and Dropout Rates of Two Major Urban School Districts in Texas;

Ernestina M. Briones, Student Engagement Facilitator, San Antonio ISD; Don Jones, Texas A&M University – Kingsville; Linda Challoo, Texas A&M University – Kingsville.

Abstract

In the United States, seven thousand students drop out of school every day (Alliance for Excellence Education, 2010); that is more than one million per year (Balfanz & Bridgeland, 2014). Administrators, former educators and private entities have taken an interest in the dropout epidemic and have developed numerous dropout prevention and intervention programs to address the problem; however, little research exists on the effectiveness of dropout prevention programs. The purpose of this study was to determine the statistical difference between the schools with multiple intervention programs as well as their graduation and dropout rates and between race and the graduation and dropout rates from two urban school districts in Texas. Quantitative data was collected and analyzed from TEA’s AEIS and TAPR reports for the classes of 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. A two-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted, and it was determined there was a statistical significant difference between the schools with multiple intervention programs on the dependent measures (graduation and dropout rates). A significant difference was also found between Hispanic, African American and white (race) on the dependent measures.

Positive Narrative Therapy for an Unspecified Eating Disorder: A Child Case Report

Francesca Vescovelli, Elisa Albieri, Chiara Ruini, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy

Abstract

A new sequential multicomponent treatment (cognitive behavioral therapy followed by well-being-enhancing narrative strategies) was applied for an unspecified eating disorder in a 10-year-old boy for reducing symptoms and improving well-being. Both distress and well-being were assessed with self and observer ratings at baseline, posttreatment, and 3-, 6-, 12-month follow-up. An ABA design was used and reliable change indexes were calculated as outcome measures. This new sequential psychotherapeutic approach, which integrated standard cognitive behavioral therapy with narrative strategies addressed at promoting well-being in a child patient diagnosed with an unspecified eating disorder, was able to reduce symptoms and to foster his resources and positive behaviors. The patient himself, his parents, and teachers confirmed these improvements. This case report shows the clinical usefulness of a new sequential psychotherapeutic approach for treating an unspecified eating disorder in a child. It provides psychotherapists with relevant clinical implications concerning the emotional and interpersonal dimensions involved in this disabling condition.

Adapting Internet-Delivered Parent-Child Interaction Therapy to Treat Co-Occurring Disruptive Behavior and Callous-Unemotional Traits: A Case Study

Georgette E. Fleming & Eva R. Kimonis, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.

Amy Datyner, Florida International University, Miami, FL, USA

Abstract

Disruptive behavior disorders (DBD) are highly prevalent, emerge in early childhood, exhibit considerable stability across time, and are associated with profound disability. When DBD co-occur with callous-unemotional (CU) traits (i.e., lack of empathy/guilt), the risk of early-onset, stable, and severe disruptive behavior is even higher, relative to DBD alone. Early intervention is critical, and there is robust empirical support for the efficacy of parent management training (PMT) for reducing disruptive behavior in young children. However, broad access to these interventions is hindered by numerous systemic barriers, including geographic disparities in availability of services. To overcome these barriers and enhance access and quality of care to underserved communities, several PMT programs have been adapted to online delivery formats, including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). PCIT is an evidence-supported treatment that attempts to reduce disruptive child behavior by improving the parent–child relationship and implementing consistent and effective discipline strategies. Comer and colleagues proposed an online adaptation of PCIT (I-PCIT) that is delivered using video teleconferencing (VTC). I-PCIT was implemented with the family of a 5-year-old Australian boy presenting with clinically significant disruptive behavior and CU traits living in a rural community. Findings from this case report (a) document an improvement in disruptive behavior that was maintained to follow-up and (b) provide preliminary support for adapting PCIT to online delivery formats to enhance accessibility of services and improve child and parent outcomes.
