This article contributes to two recent discussions in pedagogy and education, namely, the impact of the participatory approach (Jenkins et al., 2009; Yowell & Rhoten, 2009) on learning and the benefits of student active learning (Sokolova et al., in press; Spasova & Welsh, 2020). The participatory approach incorporates texts and tasks on the topics of interest that are relevant to students’ ...

The notion of a “flipped classroom” has received considerable attention in recent years. This article reports on a project in which an instructor and two students co-created teaching materials to facilitate flipping the classroom. The purpose of the article is twofold. First, we explore some aspects of flipped classrooms in Russian language courses. Second, we reflect on the opportunities and ...

This study explores the role of face consciousness in tourists’ environmentally responsible behavior (ERB). It expands the norm activation theory, integrates the concept of face consciousness and examines how personal norms (PN) on environmentally responsible behavior is moderated by face consciousness. Data was collected from 415 mainland Chinese tourists in West Lake, China. Structural equation ...

We propose a construction-based approach to learning and teaching Russian as a second language (L2) and present an innovative pedagogical resource called Construxercise! Hands-on learning of Russian constructions (https://constructicon.github.io/construxercise-rus/) that implements this approach. The resource offers practical exercises for mastering Russian discourse constructions that are thoroughly ...

Objectives - To examine the possible bidirectional association between insomnia and comorbid chronic low back pain (LBP) and lower limb pain and to explore whether high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) amplifies these associations.<p> <p>Methods - We calculated adjusted risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the development of insomnia and mild-to-severe chronic LBP and ...

In ethnographic and participatory studies, the study location is often claimed to have an obvious significance, whereas, in the methodology literature on qualitative interviews, this aspect is frequently treated as a pragmatic issue. Based on this background, there are claims that the location of an interview should be understood as a fundamental, active aspect of the research process as well as ...

Jumping to Conclusions’, or hasty decision making, is widely studied within clinical and computational psychology. It is typically investigated using the ‘beads task’, a sequential information sampling paradigm, and defining one or two draws as jumping to conclusion. Situational experimental conditions, e.g., group vs. individual testing, abstract vs. cover story, show-up fee or course credit, ...

Det er nødvendig med en nasjonal samordning for å øke kompetansen og styrke bevisstheten rundt vold og trusler i ambulansetjenesten. Slik koordinering kan sikre enhetlig og kunnskapsbasert utvikling av ambulansetjenesten – til det beste for pasienter og ansatte.

A study of dry ice growth on bundled (duplex) cylinders has been performed using icing wind tunnel experiments and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulations. The aim of this study is to "fill the gaps" in the works of Wagner (2010) and Qing et al. (2018). The numerical simulations cover a range of possible icing conditions by varying the operating wind speed, median volume diameter, ...

On 30th March 2022, all Russian participation in ICES was suspended. Although the announcement of the suspension stressed the role of ICES as a “multilateral science organization”, this suspension applied not only to research activities but also to the ICES work providing fisheries advice for the sustainable management of fish stocks and ecosystems. As a result of the suspension, it is not possible ...
