Abstract:
Nowadays, most of the Chinese college students acquire more about target language culture than their native culture. Judging from the present distinctive sets of college English textbooks, there exists one common problem: Chinese culture is seldom involved in the textbooks. The textbook is viewed as the very crucial means to cultivate learners’ intercultural communicative competence(ICC). The overwhelming majority of textbook editors attach more importance to the target language culture, neglecting Chinese culture , which results in students’ being poor in ICC. As a successful communicator, proficiency in both the target language and the native language are required of college students.Based on the findings of a survey and a questionnaire, the author proposes some suggestions on textbook reforms with the purpose of promoting students’ ICC.

Abstract:
One challenge facing students today is high textbook costs, which pose a particularly difficult obstacle at community and technical colleges, where students typically have lower incomes and textbooks constitute a larger proportion of the overall cost of education. To address this, many advocate for using open-source textbooks, which are free in a digital format. However, concerns have been raised about the quality and efficacy of open textbooks. We investigated these concerns by collecting data from general biology classes at four community and technical colleges implementing traditionally published (non-open) and open textbooks. We compared student outcomes, textbook utilization methods, and perceptions of textbooks in these courses. In generalized linear statistical models, book type (open vs. non-open) did not significantly influence measured student outcomes. Additionally, survey results found that students and faculty perceived the open textbook as equal in quality to other textbooks. However, results also suggested that student textbook use did not always align with faculty expectations. For example, 30% of students reported reading their textbooks compared with 85% of faculty expecting students to read the textbook. Finally, faculty who implemented open textbooks expected the textbook to be used more often for reference and review compared with faculty who use traditional textbooks.

Abstract:
America’s college textbook publishers historically had a business model based on continuing profits and growth led by high prices. However, that model eroded as competition from the used-book market and rental textbooks resulted in falling textbook sales and losses for publishers. Textbook publishers are currently revising their business model so as to move away from printed textbooks to digital (online) educational materials. Also, publishers are downsizing their operations and undergoing mergers with each other to survive in the marketplace. The 2019 merger proposal of McGraw-Hill and Cengage Learning reflects the current problems of college textbook publishing: The merger would be between two financially weak companies that are attempting to reduce overhead and production costs and create additional revenue streams. However, the U.S. Department of Justice’s concerns about the harmful effects on competition led to the companies’ agreement to abandon their plans to merge in May 2020.

Abstract:
Although print textbooks have been central for schooling for more than two centuries, electronic textbooks (e-textbooks) are steadily growing in popu-larity among students at all levels of education. This sharp growth has esca-lated the need for further research to enable a better understanding of the changing patterns of students’ usage of print and electronic media. The study explores college students’ usage of and preference for print and elec-tronic textbooks in Bahrain Teachers’ College, in Bahrain. The sample of the study consisted of 271 undergraduate students selected from courses that utilized both formats of textbook as clearly indicated in their syllabi. De-scriptive analyses were used to analyze data collected. Results indicate that regardless of textbook format, the highest percentage of students use their textbooks only when their instructors require them to do so. For print text-books, results show that the highest percentage of students spend between 1 to 3 hours a week on reading. However, for e-textbooks, the highest per-centage of students spend only less than 1 hour per week on reading. An in-teresting finding for this study is that compared to print textbooks, e-textbooks gain a higher percentage of students’ usage when it comes to spending higher numbers of hours of reading per week. The study affirms that students are in general positive to the use of electronic format but still show a preference for print format as the best medium for academic study. Lastly, the study uncovers reasonable findings as to why students prefer one textbook format over the other.

Abstract:
It is generally known that textbook is the first and the most vital tool for teachers to proceed with successful English language teaching activities. Hence, it is indispensable for all language teachers to evaluate books critically and choose a suitable textbook. This article aimed to explore the different features of two famous college English textbooks utilized in the researcher’s school of Wenshan University, Yunnan, China, in alignment with the China Standards English framework, and whether the two books satisfied local students’ needs and proficiency. It is hoped to provide an empirical example of textbook evaluation from a Chinese context and inspire local teachers to make possible improvements during evaluating and selecting a textbook. To achieve the objective, a checklist aligned with the framework and a questionnaire was utilized for the collection of comparable data. Moreover, content analysis and percentage were used during the analysis of the two textbooks and students’ perception about the textbooks, respectively. Results of the evaluation indicated that the two books are not aligned with the China Standards English framework suggested levels. Both textbook levels tend to be lower than the framework demanded levels, namely level five and six. Students also implied that the textbooks are accessible and seem not to help their language skills improvement. The recommendation is that these textbooks need to be adapted and modified for the English educational practices to suit local students’ needs and English proficiency to achieve the China Standards English suggested levels.

Abstract:
The introductory sociology course is typically the only course most students take in sociology; hence, the introductory textbook becomes the only sociology textbook they may ever read as college students. The textbook, however, often lacks rigor in explaining concepts. This study focused on the thoroughness of explanations of the relations of substructure and superstructure of society by Karl Max (economic determinism) and Max Weber (ideological determinism) in a sample of introductory sociology textbooks. We found only one textbook to be consistently thorough in explaining both determinisms, and most textbooks were rated as low in their explanations of both concepts. We argue for greater thoroughness in introductory sociology textbooks, especially in the interest of students who participate in online learning and those who may not take another course in sociology and whose impression of the discipline would be framed by the introductory textbook.

Abstract:
The rising cost of college textbooks over the last decade provides an opportunity for alternatives. Electronic or online textbooks are an effective substitute to the traditional paper-based textbooks, although students have been slow to transition to the new method. A custom, professor-written online textbook not only addresses the reduction in cost, but also creates a better connection to the material in the course and allows for frequent updates and error corrections. Issues related to reading an online textbook are explored and evidence of methods of student use of the text is provided.

Abstract:
The cost of textbooks is a financial burden on many college students. Fortunately the advent of open educational resources (OER) has allowed for the development of textbooks and other materials at significantly reduced costs to students. Many faculty are using OER to develop customized textbooks for their students, usually published digitally online. These faculty desire high fidelity feedback from their students to help them improve their texts. However, there is no general model of what digital textbook quality means to college students. Such a model would allow for the development of a measure of digital textbook quality that could provide highly valid and reliable student feedback for faculty to use in improving their open textbooks. This study describes a mixed-methods approach for developing a model of digital textbook quality from the college student perspective. An instrument for measuring the components of this model is also described. This dissertation can be freely accessed and downloaded from http://etd.byu.edu/ or from http://tjbliss.org/dissertation.

Abstract:
This study examined college student motivations for using social networking sites for educational purposes. Motives were examined through the uses and gratifications approach. If we can determine student motivations for using social networking sites, perhaps we can determine a way to successfully implement social networking sites into the classroom. By adding the concept of satisfaction, we can also determine if students will use the sites again. If students are satisfied with educational social networking site use, they will return to these sites for educational purposes again. Data was collected by giving a questionnaire to undergraduate students that assessed social networking site use, as well as motivations for and satisfaction with use. For general uses, students were motivated to use social networking sites for relationship maintenance, passing time, and information seeking purposes. Overall, students were satisfied with their use of the sites. For educational uses, students were motivated to use the sites for relationship maintenance and information seeking purposes. Overall, students are not satisfied with their use of these sites for educational purposes. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Abstract:
Bokakademin i Östergötland AB möter framtiden – En studie av studenters köpbeteende vad gäller kurslitteratur och ett förslag på marknadsföringsstrategi för Bokakademin (Bokakademin i Östergötland AB meets the future – A study of students’ purchasing behaviour regarding textbooks and a proposal for a marketing strategy for Bokakademin) Authors: Fabian Hamnqvist and Emma Svensson Bachelor’s thesis in business administration Linköping University, Department of Management and Engineering, 2013 Supervisor: Mehran Noghabai Abstract This paper examines the competition arising from online textbook retailers met by physical college bookstores. The paper examines the implications of college students' purchasing behaviour when buying textbooks, how a specific corporate clientele is composed and the purchasing habits of these customers to the specific company in question. The company used as a practical example is a bookstore located on a university campus of Linköping University in Sweden. Data have been collected using a paper and pen survey of 200 students from Linköping University as well as conducting interviews with eight students and the Managing Director of the company in question. Empirical findings about the students’ purchasing behaviour are presented and these are accompanied by several theories about consumers and companies’ marketing activities. This paper presents a proposal for a marketing strategy for the company in question and considers how this particular bookstore should deal with the new market environment where online sales have increased rapidly.
Bakgrund Denna kandidatuppsats presenterar en marknadsundersökning genomförd vid Linköpings universitet. Fokus har legat på en specifik butik på Campus Valla och dess konkurrenssituation samt kundkrets, nämligen en butik tillhörande företaget Bokakademin i Östergötland AB, Bokakademin fortsättningsvis. Denna marknadsundersökning har genomförts våren år 2013 under författarnas sista termin på sin kandidatutbildning inom ämnesområdet företagsekonomi. Företagets VD har uppfattningen om att företaget står inför en hård konkurrens och vill därför informera sig om marknaden. Författarnas avsikt med denna undersökning har varit att kunna ge företaget en ökad förståelse för sin konkurrenssituation och ny kunskap om sina kunder. Bokakademin bedriver försäljning av kurslitteratur till studenter och på grund av internets utbredning råder idag mer transparens på marknaden än tidigare. Forskning har visat att kunder har blivit mer krävande och att de inte uppvisar en hög grad av lojalitet till återförsäljare, det råder alltså ökad konkurrens och en minskad kundlojalitet på den marknad som Bokakademins är verksam på. Av dessa skäl menar författarna att det är av relevans och intresse att undersöka och studera detta ämne, detta styrks av att tidigare forskning har bedrivits inom området. Syfte Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka studenters köpbeteende vid köp av kurslitteratur samt att utifrån denna information föreslå en lämplig marknadsföringsstrategi för Bokakademin att möta den nya marknadssituationen. Metod Den metodansats som uppsatsen har utgått ifrån är av induktiv karaktär då den har haft sin utgångspunkt i empiri, den empiriska data som har samlats in har legat till grund för den marknadsföringsstrategi som presenteras i uppsatsen. Det underlag som uppsatsen har baserats på har i första hand utgjorts av en enkätundersökning omfattande 200 respondenter ur Bokakademins potentiella kundkrets och målgrupp. Dessa respondenter har fått besvara frågor rörande deras köpvanor och köppreferenser vid köp av kurslitteratur, en kvantitativ undersökning har med andra ord genomförts. Utöver detta har en intervju med bokhandelns VD samt åtta stycken uppföljningsintervjuer med utvalda respondenter genomförts. Samtliga intervjuer har varit av mer samtalsliknande karaktär och kan anses utgöra kvalitativa informationskällor. Genom intervjuerna har författarna erhållit ytterligare data angående Bokakademin och dess kundkrets. För att uppnå ett mer kvalitativt djup i denna undersökning har författarna valt ut en respondent för att sedan jämföra denna persons uppfattning om hur mycket pengar denne spenderar på kurslitteratur per termin mot vad denne, enligt inhämtad kurs- och prisinformation, borde spendera på kurslitteratur per termin. Vad gäller den teori som presenteras i denna uppsats utgörs den främst av grundläggande teorier presenterade i Jobber och Fahy (2009) samt Blackwell et al. (2006). Denna litteratur har kompletterats med teoriavsnitt som återger teorier samt forskning av exempelvis Kotler (1999), Kotler et al. (2013), Wilson et al. (2012), Foucault och Scheufele (2002) samt Parment (2013).

Abstract:
Esta dissertação, cuja linha de pesquisa tem como tema educação, epistemologia e linguagem, objetivou orientar a análise, a indicação e o desenvolvimento de textos didáticos de leitura e produção de textos para a educação superior a distância. O problema de pesquisa se propôs a responder de que modo os pressupostos do interacionismo sociodiscursivo são aplicados num texto didático dessa natureza. O apoio teórico se deu pelo interacionismo sociodiscursivo, de Bronckart, pelos princípios da educação a distância e pelo interacionismo social, de Vygotsky. A justificativa está no fato de o desenvolvimento de conhecimentos em leitura e produção de textos ser uma necessidade nos cursos superiores face às demandas características do ambiente acadêmico. Além disso, aliar uma corrente teórica em linguística à discussão recente em educação a distância mostra-se cientificamente relevante. O método escolhido foi o analítico, com foco na análise textual. Foram analisados dois textos didáticos de leitura e produção de textos para a educação superior a distância quanto à aplicação do interacionismo sociodiscursivo e dos princípios da educação a distância. Os critérios de análise formaram um conjunto hierárquico, cujo topo está na linguagem e na epistemologia. Do critério de linguagem partem os critérios de dialogismo, paralinguagem e discurso didático. Da epistemologia surgem os pressupostos sociointeracionistas. A partir desses pressupostos, foram propostos os princípios da educação a distância. Ambos conjuntos culminam no interacionismo sociodiscursivo. A estrutura da dissertação se organiza da seguinte forma: após a introdução, o primeiro capítulo apresenta a matriz teórica, o interacionismo sociodiscursivo, bem como as contribuições do interacionismo social, de Vygotsky, e da teoria do discurso, de Bakhtin. No segundo capítulo, os princípios da educação a distância são apresentados, com foco nos princípios da autonomia, da interação e da flexibilidade espaciotemporal. Já o terceiro capítulo contextualiza as duas propostas de textos didáticos, assim como as analisa a partir do interacionismo sociodiscursivo e dos princípios da educação a distância e discute possibilidades para sua indicação e desenvolvimento. Por fim, apresenta-se a conclusão. Os resultados permitiram uma proposição inicial de elementos de interesse a textos didáticos dessa natureza, os quais são agrupados em dois eixos: linguagem e epistemologia. No eixo da linguagem, estão o diálogo permanente com o estudante, os recursos paralinguísticos e a estrutura didática da obra. Já, no eixo da epistemologia, a consideração aos princípios da educação a distância se reflete nas atividades propostas, no uso de ferramentas de tecnologia e na ênfase à autonomia do estudante. Além disso, a aplicação dos conceitos do interacionismo sociodiscursivo permite compreender o texto como unidade de produção de linguagem e, por conseguinte, afinar-se a conceitos fundamentais da teoria.

This dissertation, whose line of research is addressing education, epistemology and language, aimed to guide the analysis, the indication and the development of textbooks for reading and writing texts for higher distance education. The problem of research aims to answer how the assumptions of sociodiscursive interactionism are implemented in a textbook of this nature. Theoretical support is given by sociodiscursive interactionism from Bronckart, the principles of distance education and the social interactionism, from Vygotsky. The reason is the fact that the development of knowledge in reading and writing texts is a necessity in higher education because of the demands of academic environment characteristics. Moreover, allying a theory in linguistics to a recent discussion in distance education is scientifically relevant. The method was the analytical, focused on textual analysis. We analyzed two textbooks on reading and writing for higher distance education about the sociodiscursive interactionism and the principles of distance education. The analysis criteria formed a hierarchy, whose top is in language and epistemology. The criteria dialogism, paralanguage and didactic discourse come from the criterion language. Sociointeractionist assumptions come from epistemology. The principles of distance education have been proposed from these assumptions. Both sets culminate in sociodiscursive interactionism. The structure of the dissertation is organized as follows: after the introduction, first chapter introduces the theoretical framework, sociodiscursive interactionism as well as the contributions of Vygotsky social interactionism, and the Bakhtin discourse theory. In the second chapter, the principles of distance education are presented, with focus on the principles of autonomy, interaction and spatial-temporal flexibility. The third chapter contextualizes the two proposals of textbooks, as well as analyzes it from the sociodiscursive interactionism and the principles of distance education, and discusses possibilities for the appointment and development of these texts. Finally, we present the conclusion. The results showed an initial proposition of interesting elements for textbooks, which are grouped into two areas: language and epistemology. The language presents continuous dialogue with the student, the didactic resources and the structure of the work. In the axis of epistemology, the consideration to the principles of distance education is reflected in the proposed activities, the use of technology tools and the emphasis on the autonomy of the student. Moreover, the application of the concepts of sociodiscursive interactionism allows understanding the text as a unit of production of language and, therefore, refining the basic concepts of the theory.

Abstract:
This study examines introductory textbooks images across a variety of disciplines, with particular focus on the ways in which race and gender are shown. This study goes beyond a basic analysis of textbooks, however, and also explores student perceptions of textbook images. My data show that compartmentalization of gender and race into certain themes still occurs within some textbooks. Specifically, white men were more likely to be depicted as hard workers and contributors to the field than any other race and gender. Despite these results, students seemed mixed on the importance of textbook images with many students focused on the extent their textbook was useful for class.

Abstract:

Purpose. The purpose of this quantitative research study was to examine the factors that influence students’ intentions to continue to use digital texts. Specifically, the purpose was to investigate what impact the external factors of instructor modeling and instructor expectation to use had on the intention to continue to use digital textbooks as well as how the internal factors of perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and satisfaction with the digital textbook impact students’ intentions to continue to use digital textbooks.

Theoretical Framework. The theoretical framework for this study is the Technology Adoption Model (TAM). This user acceptance model was developed by Fred Davis (1986) and is used extensively to provide an understanding of user acceptance processes as well as theoretical insights into the design and implementation learning technology.

Methodology. This study used a quantitative, cross-sectional survey instrument based on the E-Book Adoption Scale (Jin, 2014b), an instrument that was tested for reliability and validity using a Cronbach’s alpha test.

Findings. Students’ perceived ease of use and usefulness of the digital text predict student satisfaction with the digital text. Students whose instructors did not provide resources for using a digital text were more likely to be satisfied with the digital version of the textbook yet, there is no significant relationship between instructor expectations and intervention to students’ intentions to continue to use digital textbooks.

Recommendations. The ease of use of a digital interface is the aspect most likely to impact student satisfaction. College student purchasing patterns of digital texts are significantly influenced by the perceived ease of use of the text and the perceived usefulness of the text. Perceived ease of use is related to the interface of the text. Publishers who clearly apply this field of research to their product development will provide digital texts that students are more likely to be satisfied with and to adopt as a preferred learning platform. Institutions that develop support systems to help their faculty members make the most of the digital features of the texts will better support students.

Abstract:
AbstractVacuum massage is a noninvasive mechanical massage technique performed with a mechanical device that lifts the skin by means of suction to create and mobilize a skin fold. It was invented by a French engineer suffering from burn scars after a car accident and has since then been frequently used for the treatment of burn scars.The two most reported physical effects of vacuum massage were improvement of the tissue hardness and the elasticity of the skin. Besides physical effects, a variety of physiological effects are reported in the literature, for example, an increased number of fibroblasts and collagen fibers accompanied by an alteration of fibroblast phenotype and collagen orientation. Little information was found on the decrease of pain and itch due to vacuum massage.Although vacuum massage initially had been developed for the treatment of burn scars, a literature review found little evidence for the efficacy of this treatment. Variations in duration, amplitude, or frequency of the treatment have a substantial influence on collagen restructuring and reorientation, thus implying possible beneficial influences on the healing potential by mechanotransduction pathways. Vacuum massage may release the mechanical tension associated with scar retraction and thus induce apoptosis of myofibroblasts. Suggestions for future research include upscaling the study design, investigating the molecular pathways and dose dependency, comparing effects in different stages of repair, including evolutive parameters and the use of more objective assessment tools.

Abstract:
AbstractPhysiological healing process is not much different in children, but the resulting scar is very rich in collagen and very dense. Therefore, when dealing with children, it is necessary to be aware of these particularities and to “guide” the scaring process to avoid disgracious and disabling scars.

Abstract:
AbstractHypertrophic scars and keloids are common lesions caused by abnormal wound healing process. Especially in keloids, abnormal fibroblast activity and excessive synthesis of collagen is a histopathological hallmark in its pathogenesis. Due to heterogeneity of etiologies and clinical presentations, treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids are often challenging. The response rate varies widely, depending on treatment modalities and the timing of therapeutic intervention. Corticosteroid is considered to be one of the best treatment options, yet paucity of information exists on its mechanism of action. It is mostly known to inhibit abnormal fibroblast proliferation leading to collagen synthesis and promote further degeneration of extracellular matrix. Intralesional injection of corticosteroid has been well advocated in the treatment of both hypertrophic scars and keloids. Locally delivered corticosteroid causes significant decrease in scar volume and ameliorates the symptoms of the scars such as pain and pruritus. However, the lesions are prone to localized adverse reactions upon repeated treatments. Therefore, appropriate use of steroids requires awareness of its mechanism of action in scar treatment.

Abstract:
Information Systems Colleges are facing numerous challenges to develop and keep their curriculum current. Including certification objectives in IS courses give IS colleges the edge needed to remain competitive. Java, a modern object oriented programming language, has become a critical component of IS curricula because of its platform independence. This paper shows how to integrate objectives of the Sun Certified Programmer for Java 2 certification into a programming course. Current Java textbooks emphasize problem-solving concepts and do not cover certification objectives. After careful review of numerous textbooks, a textbook is selected to maximize coverage of the course and certification objectives. A detailed master syllabus is developed to optimize coverage of the certification objectives while maintaining consistency of the course. Upon completion of the course, students have the knowledge to take the certification exam and can demonstrate to employers that they have mastered the necessary skills to be productive.
