Specialized Dictionary Mobile Apps for Students Learning English for Engineering, Business and Computer Science
Get PDFUse of dictionaries is an integral part of language learning and teaching. With the availability of smartphones, EFL, ESL and ESP students can access and download a variety of specialized mobile dictionaries Apps (MDAs). Specialized MDAs are of special importance for students learning English for engineering, business, and computer science purposes. They contain thousands of essential specialize technical terms covering several sub-categories within the engineering, business and computer science fields. They are a good tool for enriching the students’ specialized vocabulary and helping them learn faster and remember more in a shorter time. This article aims to show ESP instructors examples of engineering, computer science and business MDAs available in the Google Play or Apple Stores; how specialized MDAs can be located; criteria for selecting specialized MDAs; the lexicographical features of specialized MDA and instructional stages with MDAs. Instruction with MDAs goes through three stages: pre-task, task, and post-task phases. The instructor serves as a facilitator. She can help students find and download MDAs that meet their needs and purposes and match their proficiency level; gives pre-questions; and follows the students up to make sure they are making the best use of MDAs. The article concludes with some recommendations for ESP pedagogy with MDAs
Prevalence and Factors Associated with Hydatidiform Mole among Patients with Missed Abortion
Get PDFA large number of studies have reported different prevalence rates for hydatidiform mole in different regions, making it difficult to determine the exact prevalence of this condition. There has been no previous study that has determined the prevalence of HM and the risk factors associated with it among patients who have had an missed abortion and were evacuated from the Medical Center and private hospitals in Erbil. Between August 2015 and October 2021, a total of 180 patients who had undergone amissed abortion were enrolled.. Participation in this study was voluntary and included one hundred and eighty patients with missed abortions who were scheduled for uterine evacuation. The prevalence of HM was 12.8 percent in the overall population. The vast majority of patients with HM (27.5 percent) were under the age of twenty-one years. Risk factors such as parity, contraceptive use, previous abortion, and blood group were not found to have a statistically significant association with the outcome. Prevalence of HM among patients with missed abortion was high (12.8 percent), with age between 15-20 years being the only significant risk factor associated with the presence of HM among those who had anmissed abortion. As a result, we recommend that evacuated products of conception be submitted for histopathological analysis in order to reduce the number of missed opportunities
The Color Purple: Reflections on The Second Sex and Gender Issues
Get PDFIn this paper, we shall look at Alice Walker’s The Color Purple in the light of Simone De Beauvoir’s The Second Sex and analyse Celie’s transformation from the ‘Other’ in De Beauvoir’s terms to ‘Self’ in the course of the novel and how she grows up to speak for herself from being apparently silent under the oppression of her step-father and then her husband. We shall however question as to whether her ‘voicelessness’ can be considered equivalent to silence as she never stops from recording her experiences and emotions in her diary which is also a mode of expression. We shall also compare and contrast Celie, Shug, Sofia and Nettie in the light of The Second Sex. We shall also evaluate how Alice Walker has portrayed Celie’s liberation from the domination of the men through the lesbian relationship between Shug Avery and try and briefly observe Walker’s representation of the ‘Black Lesbian’. Simone de Beauvoir has talked how women have been considered below man for centuries but we shall question in the light of the novel that how can we differentiate between the two genders and can that with which we are born in between the two legs- a phallus or a vagina be the sole criteria to determine who we are, what we should do, what we should wear and how we should behave or in other words can the phallus or the vagina only define our gender
