Error Analysis in English Writing by Chinese Graduate Students with Non-English Majors Pursuing Master’s Degrees: Insights from a Descriptive Linguistics

Based on quantitative and qualitative research methods, this study explores the types of errors in English writing for non-English major graduate students in the Chinese context and the intervention in English writing teaching from the perspective of descriptive linguistics. To be specific, 59 non-English major graduate students from a university in eastern China were randomly selected for two writing samples, which were reviewed by 4 professional teachers. The consistency and difference of grading results were tested by different teachers to the same sample. Based on the mean value, the types of high frequency errors were obtained, and the teaching intervention was proposed from the perspective of descriptive linguistics. The results show that: (1) There is little difference in the grading results of the same sample, and there is a high consistency; (2) In the results of consistency testing and differential analysis of the two samples, Lexical Errors and Discourse Errors may occur more frequently, but after considering the Arithmetic Means and the above analysis results, Discourse Errors rate is the highest in the grading results; (3) The genre-based process English writing teaching intervention has benefited the non-English major graduate students greatly in English writing in the Chinese context

Analyzing Important Components that Increase Vulnerability to Natural Disasters

During the last three decades, the 4th district of Tehran has been facing an average annual population growth greater than the whole of Tehran and is considered one of the most populous areas. This region has significant diversity in terms of the economic, social, and cultural context of its residents. On the one hand, in this area, there are areas and neighborhoods such as Khaq Sefid and Shamiran No, which are considered to be the residences of the poorest and lowest-income social strata of Tehran. The regional crisis management plan, which was prepared in the form of crisis management of the whole city of Tehran, lacks a strategic and comprehensive approach on the one hand, and it is said to be different from other national, regional, and local plans (national and regional). In the crisis management plan of the city of Tehran, area 4 is considered as the relief and rescue area of the whole city. This weakness has also caused that in preparing the framework of the regional crisis management plan, both in terms of headquarters planning and organizational-executive dimensions and social, economic, and environmental factors in the current situation of the region, which happens to be one of the main causes of aggravation or increase They are considered to be the cause of the region's vulnerability to possible earthquakes, they have not been taken into account. In other words, planning for crisis management in the region must be consistent with other physical-physical, social-economic, and environmental planning

Experiences of Secondary School Administrators in the Implementation of Distance Learning Delivery Modality in the New Normal

The coronavirus outbreak had provided varied challenges to the school administrators in managing the schools. This qualitative study determined the experiences of 20 secondary school heads of the Ozamiz City Division. Through a phenomenological approach, this research endeavor comprised a series of interviews and focus group discussions in gathering the data, which were categorized into themes using Van Manen’s thematic analysis. The five central themes are (1) Preparing Learning Continuity Plan (LCP) for Distance Learning, (2) Attending virtual meetings and webinars, (3) performance monitoring and evaluation, (4) conducting assessment activities, and (5) managing administrative tasks. The school heads had different experiences as they performed the function of administrative support in preparation for the school's readiness for the implementation of distance learning. The researchers concluded that although some school heads find the implementation challenging due to varied preparations that need to be done, they still persevere in implementing the program. The optimism of the school heads in implementing distance learning was very strong. The study recommends that school administrators be trained on time management and stress management so they can cope smoothly with the challenges brought about by education during the pandemic.

Research on Privatization Reform of China's Loss-making Public Utilities

In this paper, an exposition of the background of China's privatization reform in public utilities, along with an analysis of the reform's content and effectiveness, is presented and organized based on relevant public administration theory and practice. Secondly, a thorough examination of the factors constituting the primary obstacle in China's privatization reform of public utilities is undertaken. Addressing issues arising from private companies pursuing profit while public utility entities seek to avoid losses, it is argued that the incomplete reform of government functions, the constraints of traditional ideology, and the lack of supervision in the privatization of public utilities contribute to these challenges. Finally, recommendations for loss-making public utilities in the privatization reform are put forth. These involve further reforms in the utilities' business model, the establishment of new operational and service paradigms, and the enhancement of government support,regulatory measures,and coordination during the reform process. These measures aim to address the existing challenges in China's loss-making public utilities during the privatization reform

Space Configuration and Identity of Urban Neighborhoods

The pattern of spatial configuration is one of the important and influencing factors on the density of uses in cities. Studying the spatial configuration of cities is potentially a suitable predictor for the level of user density and, as a result, increasing social interactions in urban spaces. In recent years, giving identity to the centers of old urban neighborhoods, especially in Iranian cities, has gained double importance for urban planners and designers. The method used in this research is the descriptive-analytical method and the context, while the literature and theories available in library references are used as the theoretical support of the research. After examining and reviewing the factors affecting the identity of urban areas, this article has compared these factors by referring to the relevant literature in the field of space layout theory. In this article, a model of the integration of both groups of components is presented, which is the basis of the analysis and planning of the neighborhood studied in this research

Correlation of Social Media Trends with Opinions of General Public in Pakistan
