Interpersonal Communication Model for Children with Special Needs

The emphasis of this study is on how children who have special needs communicate with one another (deaf). Participant observation, interviews, and documentation are among the methods that are used throughout the data-gathering process. According to the findings of the research, the interpersonal communication model for deaf children is made up of two different models, one of which is the dyadic communication model. This kind of dyadic communication does not take place during the teaching and learning process; rather, it takes place outside of regular class hours. The whole communication model comes in at number two. Throughout the teaching and learning process, as well as outside of regular class hours, total communication is used. employing both symbolic interaction theory and ethnography theory as analytic frameworks. This demonstrates that the process of the interpersonal communication model is carried out face to face and at close distances, which makes it simpler to speak with deaf children since they are more accessible

Numerical Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Circular Columns Strengthening With CFRP under Concentric and Eccentric Loadings

The purpose of this study is to explore the numerical behavior of circular RC short columns with different degrees of confinement with CFRP (0%, 25%, 50%, and 100%) wraps under concentric and eccentric loading. The numerical analysis carried out by using an improved concrete plastic-damage model (CDPM) implemented in ABAQUS software for finite element (FE) analysis. The FE model simulated a total of twenty-four numerical specimens. The findings were matched to published experimental test results in the literature. The findings of the FE model and the experimental data were good similar. As a consequence, the model was found to be valid. The numerical results shows that as load eccentricity increased, the load carrying capacity of columns decreased for unconfined specimens, whereas the decline in strength for confined specimens becomes limited as the degrees of confinement ratio increased. In addition, increasing the CFRP confinement ratio improves the column's load-bearing capability at the same load eccentricity

Plan de marketing para la empresa Textil Nogatex S.A. en la ciudad de Quito

Nogatex S.A. es una empresa textil que se dedica a la fabricación y comercialización de productos de lencería para el hogar tales como sabanas, almohadas, edredones, caminos de mesa, entre otros. Tiene 7 años de funcionamiento en el mercado ecuatoriano, y cuenta con tres locales comerciales en la ciudad de Quito, Guayaquil y Cuenca donde ofrece al público, los productos que fabrica en su taller. Nogatex S.A. ha venido creciendo a un ritmo muy bajo durante sus 7 años de funcionamiento, pues crece en promedio un 1,25% anual. Esto, gracias a la falta de acciones de marketing que den a conocer y a posicionar la marca de la empresa en la mente de los consumidores. Dado que el principal problema de la empresa es su falta de comunicación externa, para asi lograr darse a conocer y mejorar su crecimiento, se ha visto la necesidad de crear e implementar un plan de marketing que permita a la empresa darse a conocer y posicionarse en el mercado, fidelizar clientes y atraer nuevos clientes, incrementar sus ventas y por ende, mejorar su crecimiento. Como primera etapa es necesario un proceso previo de estudio y reflexión de la situación de la empresa para poder crear estrategias que sean la directriz en el proceso para incrementar el nivel de notoriedad de la marca para fidelizar y atraer nuevos clientes. En los aspectos más importantes del estudio, se detectó que la empresa tiene falla en el número de empleados capacitados a nivel nacional para el diseño y la conexión con los proveedores, como una medida de guardar información celosa para la exclusividad. Sin embargo, esta medida es algo conflictiva pues en caso de que llegase a faltar la persona encargada no habría quien pueda realizar dicho trabajo. Nogatex S.A. no cuenta con un departamento de marketing, es por ello, que nunca antes había realizado ninguna actividad de marketing. Pues ahora cuenta con uno que tiene varias actividades entre ellas, el darse a conocer en centros comerciales, mediante vallas publicitarias, creando su propia página web donde se hace exhibición de sus productos y se mantendrá contacto con los clientes, además se hará uso de las redes sociales ya que han demostrado su efectividad en el marketing. Se han designado 39,190.00 dólares para la inversión. Se ha proyectado ventas para el siguiente año de implantación del plan de marketing, y se ha demostrado que se obtendrá el crecimiento esperado

Reality of the Industrial Sector in Jordan

The study aims to examine Jordan's industrial sector by using descriptive statistical and econometric methods. For the purposes of analysis, we used a time series data for the Jordanian industrial sector (Mining, manufacturing, and electricity) from 1990 to 2017. The study came out of the importance of the Jordanian industrial sector. During the study period, the industrial sector ranked first among the sectors in terms of relative importance in its contribution to GDP at an annual average rate of 16% . Comparing the industry's contribution to Jordan's GDP with other countries, Jordan is still relatively late compared to semi-industrialized developing countries, like Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, and Egypt. In addition, there was a fluctuating rise in labor productivity in the industrial sector, this may be due to the increase in the amount of fixed capital, as expressed by high capital intensity technology, or to the development of labor’s skills and competencies. The study recommended the need to work to improve the output of the educational system in line with the requirements of revitalization of the industrial sector, and work to increase the efficiency of vocational training institutions in order to raise the productive efficiency of local labor because of the impact of the revitalization of the industrial sector.

Self-Esteem and its Relationship to some Demographic Variables among Students with Learning Disabilities

This study aimed at identifying self-esteem and its relationship to some demographic variables among students with learning disabilities in Irbid, Jordan. The study used the descriptive methodology and used a scale to measure the levels of self-esteem among 2000 male and female students from the third and fourth grades in primary schools in Irbid city. The results revealed that the level of self-esteem was average. There were apparent significant differences in the levels of self- esteem due to the effect of gender, and the differences came in favor of males. The results also showed no statistically significant differences due to the effect of the school grade. In light of the results of the study, the researcher recommends raising the level of the students’ self-esteem through cooperation between school administrations, teachers, and students’ parents, and researchers conducting developmental studies, comparing levels of shyness and self-esteem among students at different ages and environments

Domestic Debt and Economic Growth in Jordan An Empirical Analysis

Jordan’s economy is among the smallest in the Middle East, with insufficient supplies of water, oil, and other natural resources underlying the government's heavy reliance on foreign assistance. Other economic challenges for the government include chronic high rates of poverty, unemployment, inflation, and a large budget deficit. The study investigates the impact of debt on economic growth in Jordan applying the OLS technique for the period of 2000 to 2014. The study indicates that the stock of domestic debt affects the economic growth positively and statistically significant. This indicates that loans partially were utilized by the government for investment oriented projects. On the other hand, the increasing figure of the public debt indicates that the rest used for private and public consumption purposes, which do not bring any return. The study also indicates that the domestic debt servicing affects the economic growth negatively in Jordan. This result is due to the fact that huge amount of money goes for non-development expenditures and also the rest goes for unnecessary expenditures. The study suggests some policies which should be taken by the government to decrease both domestic debt and domestic debt servicing. Keywords: Domestic debt, Economic growth , Jordan Economy

Characteristics of Polymeric Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite (PFRCC) under Uniaxial Compression

This study aimed to evaluate the compressive characteristics and toughness of polymeric fiber reinforced cementitious composites (PFRCC). In the experimental program, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers were used to prepare two groups of PFRCC cylinders with different fiber contents. The main factor considered in this study was the reinforcing index. Several parameters were investigated, i.e. compressive strength, elastic modulus, strain at peak stress, Poisson’s ratio and toughness of PFRCC. The results revealed that there was a reduction in both compressive strength and elastic modulus as the reinforcing index increased, while a significant increase in the strain at peak stress was observed. Moreover, a comparison was made between different methods of toughness estimation and it was found that 7.9 was the best reinforcing index for PVA fibers  based on the energy absorption performance and ductility of PFRCC. Furthermore, an empirical model is proposed in this paper to predict the PFRCC-PVA compressive stress-strain curve. The proposed model features new formulas to calculate a number of important coefficients to plot the curve based on the reinforcing index value. Besides that, the model had good convergence compared to the experimental results, with perfect values for both variance and correlation coefficient
