The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of DoCtor WoRM’s Module in improving multiplication skills among Year Four low achievers in National-Type Chinese Primary School (SJKC). DoCtor WoRM’s Module had been designed based on Constructivist Theory, mastery learning, and game-based learning. The module was developed based on Sidek’s Module Development Model. Quantitative approaches with quasi-experimental design were used for this study. A number of 60 Year Four low achievers from Manjung District were selected using random sampling. The sample was divided into the treatment and control groups. The former went through a teaching and learning process using DoCtor WoRM’s Module, while the latter learnt through traditional teaching. After the pre-test, three months of intervention was carried out to both groups of sample, followed by a post-test. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Dependent t-test showed that there was a significant increase in the achievement of treatment group from pre-test (M = 59.47, SD = 27.242) to post-test (M = 91.53, SD = 12.566), t(29) = 6.254, p < .001. The independent t-test had shown that the achievement of multiplication skills in post-test of treatment group (M = 91.53, SD = 12.566) is higher than the post-test of control group (M = 79.17, SD = 22.588), t(58) = 2.621, p < .012. As a conclusion, DoCtor WoRM’s Module has improved the multiplication skills among Year Four low achievers in SJKC. This study implicates that DoCtor WoRM’s Module should be applied to the low achievers in Malaysia in order to improve their Mathematics achievement particularly in multiplication skills.

This paper seeks to evaluate and explore different dimensions of corporate social responsibility, with the objective of laying the groundwork for the development of a conceptual framework.

Translators’ agency is defined in this paper as the willingness and ability to act after active negotiations with various actors (humans and non-humans alike), highlighting the translator’s power over other actors involved in each translation activity, namely, his or her intentional acceptance or refusal of the influence from external constraints. What is being investigated, is not what influence the translator’s agency exerts, but the extent to which its influence (or ‘weight’) is exerted upon the final product. We bear these two questions in mind: (1) Does the translator’s agency influence all stages of the translation process[1]? (2) If it does not, in which stages does it exert influence and to what extent? Which stages does it not exert influence and what other agencies exert their influences at these stages? Drawing on available studies and archival primary sources and adopting Latour’s Actor-Network Theory to make sense of the findings, this article tries to assess the different extents to which a translator could exercise their agency, by determining the interplay between translators and other actors in the translation network of Chinese Literature. The findings of this report are that translators can exercise no agency in the selection, editing and revision stages, because they can’t participate in these. It is in the translation stage, that translators can participate and have the chance to negotiate with other actors. Translators can often exercise their agency to the largest extent, here, regardless of how powerful other actors might be.

The current study aims to describe the relationships between emerging adults and their families and how these evolve over emerging adult years. Through a systematic review of the literature, we extracted data from 38 empirical studies, which met the following inclusion criteria: published since 2000, included emerging adults and/or their relatives as participants, and focused on family relationships. The results showed that most studies examined the parent-child relationship, providing insight into the relational renegotiations occurring during emerging adulthood and into inter-generational discrepancies in the way that parents and children viewed their relationships. Family support was also found to be of substantial relevance during this developmental stage. In addition, sex, age, living arrangements, family structure, socioeconomic status (SES), ethnicity and cultural contexts emerged as key factors influencing family relationships in varied ways. Implications for future research include the need to consider the family as the unit of analysis and to collect data from multiple family members; to conduct longitudinal studies in order to better understand changes in family relationships across emerging adulthood; and to focus on family relationships beyond the parent-child dyads, namely on sibling and grandparent-grandchildren relationships. In conclusion, this review provided a renewed perspective on family relationships during the transition to adulthood, contributing to clinical insights on individual and familial shifts in the fast-paced and complex contemporary context.

In Northern Ireland, three decades ago, the Education and Libraries (NI) Order 1986 has been declared the inclusion policy for special education. However, there has been needed much efforts to translate this policy into practice and substantiate such inclusion practice in Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland definition of inclusion is offered. Northern Ireland inclusion policy and its current version of translated practice have been outlined. Seven pillars of inclusion practice have been described. Discussion of Northern Ireland inclusion policy has been explained. A number of inclusion practice programs have been suggested.

IntroductionSexual Harassment is a psychosocial behavior that inspires people to consider others as embodied source of physical pleasure. SH leads to objectification of humans and therefore, harasser do not respect rights of the targeted individuals. Everything revolves around sexual objectives for any physiological predator and therefore, he or she engages in ruthless planning to trap different people into his or her physical spell. A sexual predator can use softer tones and harder methods to achieve his or her objectives . However, people in general do not get highly involved into their jobs because of sexual interference. Educational remains an integral method of earning notable degree of satisfaction in life. One may not achieve considerable educational goals in order to sustain him or herself financially to feel an overwhelming sense of satisfaction from life due to poor sexual environment of the academic organization . This paper introduces an entirely novel conceptual model. Conceptual model of the study explains how Sexual Harassment may reduce involvement of students to lessen their satisfaction with life. This paper addresses managers of educational institutions and describes to them the mental effects of sexual harassment on students’ academic performance specifically. This study targets students of managerial sciences in an educational institution of Islamabad. Sexual Harassment inhabits students from developing deeper spiritual connection with the educational career and therefore, they do not gain excellence in a certain educational field. Management of Pakistani educational organizations may intervene in order to reduce intensity of sexual harassment, but students may still suffer from considerable mental agony in order to forego educational involvement that can lead to lessening level of satisfaction with life due to marginal educational growth and development.

Companies spend a considerable amount of money to develop their brand identities. It is not a cheap commercial endeavour. Given the importance of brand identities as intangible assets for organisations, the ability to strategically manage them is critical. Extant research is predominantly based on theoretical models and concepts of branding, yet no attempt has been made to develop an understanding of the consistent communication of brand identities. This paper provides background information on brand guidelines, the benefit, content and user of brand guidelines. Researchers and students in brand management will find this relevant for brand identity, brand integration and brand architecture studies and research. Ideas for future research studies have also been presented. Likewise, brand managers may also find these relevant, especially those working with smaller brands which do not have a guideline and those with established brands looking at properly documenting their brand architecture and identities.

This is a qualitative research based on the recent 11th Jatiya Sangsad Election that investigates how the mushrooming digital media played role in political participation.

This a qualitative macro study conducted on Bangladesh society to reveal how religious communities interact in cyberspace and outside. Although prior study in this specific field is, to some extent, rare in Bangladesh, this research is an unique addition in the field of digital sociology and sociology of religion. In this study, rigorous observation and analysis have been presented backed up by selected and authentic data from secondary sources.

This specific issue can be addressed by developing a plan to enhance student's sight-reading skills, prepare them for auditions and improve tonality though optimal and appropriate breathing techniques.

The research is mainly based on observation, content analysis and secondary sources. In Bangladesh, religious practice in digital platform is rising rapidly which gained no concern from researcher yet. That's why availability of prior study is absent and I had to generate new idea and explanations to accomplish the study. Therefore, this research is an unique addition in the field of Digital Sociology.

Models on innovation, for the most part, do not include a comprehensive and end-to-end view. Most innovation policy attention seems to be focused on the capacity to innovate and on input factors such as R&D investment, scientific institutions, human resources and capital. Such inputs frequently serve as proxies for innovativeness and are correlated with intermediate outputs such as patent counts and outcomes such as GDP per capita. While this kind of analysis is generally indicative of innovative behaviour, it is less useful in terms of discriminating causality and what drives successful strategy or public policy interventions. This situation has led to the developing of new frameworks for the innovation system led by National Science and Technology Policy Centres across the globe. These new models of innovation are variously referred to as the National Innovation Ecosystem. There is, however, a fundamental question that needs to be answered: what elements should an innovation policy include, and how should such policies be implemented? This paper attempts to answer this question.

The purpose of submitted Article is to indicate the character of the challenges related to migrations, their selected forms and influence on Transatlantic community states security . Thesis stipulates that the phenomenon of migrations in the first half of the 21st century more and more strongly defines the context of social security of states implying Transatlantic bonds and international actions taken or not undertaken in their formula. One can assume that migrations, in addition to political and military as well as economic issues, will be the one of domains of NATO security management. The above-mentioned factors will lead to a change in the character of the relations within the Transatlantic Community.

One of the agricultural countries in the world is India, where 70 percent population depends on agriculture. Agriculture is a backbone of Indian Economy as the contribution of agriculture in India has high national income. While maintaining both the quality and quantity of the crops for future generations as well as the resources, the farmers met with the challenge of producing a sufficient amount of crops for the consumer demand. To meet up the future demands for food and to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional method, we have developed the seed sowing machine with automatic sun tracking solar panel and soil testing process in an automatic manner. The agrobot will move on various ground contours and it performs digging, sows the seed and covers it with the soil and an adequate content of water is added according to its texture. This project also spells out the soil testing process using LabVIEW and the results are displayed in the mobile phones using GSM module. It gives the complete installation of the agricultural robot. The method of sowing seeds with automatic sun tracking solar panel is somewhat different from the traditional seed sowing method. The main purpose of the GSM based Agrobot with automatic sun tracking solar panel is to sow the seeds and monitor the soil's fertility as well as the moisture automatically.

In this study, the cloze-elide test was developed and administered under time constraints. This research is aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the speeded cloze-elide test and investigate its relationship with reading comprehension, C-Test, and multiple-choice cloze test. Processing speed is a vital indicator to distinguish high to low levels of language proficiency. The obtained test scores of the test takers' performance in the restricted time reveal their level of overall language proficiency. One-hundred fifty Iranian undergraduate English students were selected to participate in this study. A reading comprehension test, C-tests, multiple-choice cloze tests and speeded cloze-elide tests were presented to the students. The Cronbach's alpha reliability revealed that speeded cloze-elide test is highly reliable. Moreover, the principal component analysis resulted in the presence of one component which supports the unidimensionality of the data. The findings also illustrated that the C-Test is a slightly better measure of reading comprehension than multiple-choice cloze test and speeded cloze-elide test. Based on the analysis of data, time limitations increase the test validity and test reliability on the cloze-elide test.
