No full textDevelopment Discourses of HIV/AIDS in Yemen
No full textM.A.This paper is a study of discourses related to HIV/AIDS development programming in Yemen. It is situated within Hakan Seckinelgin's problematization of the global governance of HIV. It analyzes how development workers addressing HIV/AIDS in Yemen conceptualize their approaches and objectives to HIV/AIDS initiatives and situates these amongst alternative discourses, identifications, and interpretations of cultural and religious contexts. The author argues that 1) global HIV/AIDS discourses influence national and local HIV initiatives in ways that transform systems of knowledge, attempt to shape and delimit individuals' behaviors and self-identifications, and mute possibilities for development programs to meet local needs of people living with and affected by HIV; 2) efforts of development workers to situate HIV in Yemen in cultural or religious contexts have potentials to hinder as well as help formulate effective HIV/AIDS programming; and 3) Sheikh Abdul Majid al-Zindani's alternative HIV/AIDS discourse in Yemen is functioning as a bridge between Yemenis' needs and the restricted possibilities of global development efforts
Characterization of correlations of fast-ion H-alpha measurement volumes in Wendelstein 7-X by particle tracking
No full textThis paper characterizes the correlation of simultaneous measurements with different fast-ion H-alpha (FIDA) spectroscopy sightlines on Wendelstein 7-X. Using a collisionless guiding-center code, it is shown that, for two investigated volumes in the bulk of the plasma, some regions of phase space are correlated and the magnetic configuration has little influence on this correlation. For the sightlines of the FIDA system, the correlation between these is explained well by the magnetic configuration. Sightlines with measurement volumes at the same spatial locations have the highest correlation, and sightlines with measurement volumes near the same flux surface but on different sides of the magnetic axis have a high correlation. The correlation between the blueshifted signal in the starting sightline and redshifted signal in the detection sightline is investigated, demonstrating that it is possible to investigate any finite interval of detection wavelengths. Due to the different shapes of the weight functions for the toroidal and oblique sightlines, the blue-redshift correlation is very different from the total-spectrum correlation. The correlation between the toroidal and oblique sightline fans is relatively much larger than the internal correlation in the oblique sightlines, which is however, much larger than the internal correlation in the toroidal sightlines. This is a result of the dependence of the weight functions on the angle between the sightline and magnetic field, illustrating how important it is for the FIDA sightlines to cover different angles with the magnetic field.

No full textThe objective of this research is to examine how profitability in the Cement Industry, which is listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, is impacted by Working Capital Turnover and Cash Turnover. The study will focus on a sample of five publicly-traded cement companies as its research population. The method of sampling used in this study was purposive, meaning that the selection of the three companies was based on specific criteria. The method of sampling used in this study was purposive, meaning that the selection of the three companies was based on specific criteria. The data used were financial statements of cement industry companies that went public in Indonesia from December 31, 2005 – December 31, 2021. The data was processed using panel data regression. The study's findings indicate that the working capital turnover (WCT) does not have an impact on the return on assets (ROA), whereas the cash turnover (CT) has a significant influence on the return on assets (ROA). The implications of research is that return on assets (ROA) has the potential to be a very important indicator for companies in measuring their financial performance, and can provide significant benefits in improving the company’s financial performance and increasing investor confidence
Studimet gjuhësore përqasëse dhe ndihmesa e tyre në mësimin e gjuhëve të huaja
No full textThe main focus of this article is the role of the mother tongue in the process of learning of the foreign languages. One aspect of this role, among others, is the use in a profi cient way of the results emerging from the contrastive analysis between Albanian (as mother tongue) and the foreign languages. The usefulness of using the results of the contrastive analysis is seen from diff erent perspectives: (a) from the teacher’s perspective, i.e. the necessity to know very well and be in possess of both languages, (the mother tongue and the foreign language), distinguish the diff erences and the similarities between the two language systems, as well as the ability to use them in foreign
language teaching process; (b) from the author of the textbook and teaching materials perspective, i.e. the selection and the use of the contrastive results in the preparation of teaching materials and adjusting them according to the degree of diffi culty; (c) from the perspective of the author of the curriculum in the selection of diff erences, as well as similarities between the two languages; (d) from the perspective of the assessment and evaluation specialist who designs the language tests, and, above all, (e) from the student’s perspective, who undergo a conscious learning process. This article is based on contributions in this area from foreign authors, especially Albanians, and is accompanied by a rich and specialized bibliography.Roli që luan gjuha amtare (gj.a) në procesin e të nxënit të gjuhës së huaj (gj.h) është objekt i shkrimit. Një aspekt i këtij roli është edhe përdorimi i dobishëm në mësimdhënien e gj.h i të dhënave të nxjerra prej studimeve përqasëse të shqipes si gj.a me gjuhët e huaja. Dobia e përdorimit në mësimdhënie e të dhënave të nxjerra prej krahasimit shihet në disa plane: (a) nga këndvështrimi i mësuesit e metodistit, d.m.th. nevoja e njohjes mirë të sistemit të dy gjuhëve, amtare dhe të huaj, e ngjashmërive dhe dallimeve midis tyre, si dhe aftësia e përdorimit të tyre si ecuri didaktike gjatë të nxënit; (b) nga këndvështrimi i autorit të tekstit e të materialeve mësimore, d.m.th. përzgjedhja e këtyre të dhënave, dhe përshtatja e tyre në varësi të shkallës së vështirësisë, si edhe shkallëzimi i tyre në tekst; (c) nga këndvështrimi i autorit të programit e kurrikulës, në përzgjedhjen si të dallimeve midis dy gjuhëve, ashtu edhe të ngjashmërive; (ç) nga këndvështrimi i specialistit të vlerësimit, gjatë përpilimit të testeve vlerësuese dhe, mbi të gjitha, (d) nga këndvështrimi i nxënësit, për të realizuar një të nxënë të vetëdijshëm. Shkrimi është mbështetur mbi kontribute të autorëve të huaj e veçanërisht shqiptarë në këtë fushë, dhe shoqërohet me një bibliografi të pasur e të specializuar
