161. Academic Performance and the Practice of Self-Directed Learning: The Adult Student Perspective

Author

Khiat, Henry

Abstract

The practice of self-directed learning is important to adult students as it allows them to learn effectively while juggling work, family and other commitments. This study set out to examine the self-directed learning characteristics present in the adult students' study process at the case university. The relationship between the adult students' perceived competence level in self-directed learning and their academic performance was also investigated. In this study, 1695 adult students in the case university participated in a survey that included both Likert-type and open-ended response items. Eleven indicators of self-directed learning were conceptualised and quantified. These indicators included: Goal Setting, Time Management, Procrastination Management, Assignment Preparation, Exam Preparation, Note-taking Capability, Research Capability, Seminar Class Readiness, Technical Readiness, Online Class Readiness and Stress Management. The findings showed that the adult students' perceived level of competence in the 11 self-directed learning indicators had a direct or an indirect effect on their academic performance. Based on the findings, the case university has conceptualised some new initiatives in the provision of support in terms of self-directed learning to help its adult students to do well in their studies.

Abstract

This study generates a substantive theory of how engineering students approach engineering mathematics learning in a polytechnic in Singapore. This thesis adopts a symbolic interactionist perspective and engages grounded theory methodology in its investigation. The main source of data comes from a series of in-depth face to face interviews with a group of 21 engineering students in the case Polytechnic. This is supplemented by data gathered from the students’ reflection journals and informal interviews with their teachers. The first major outcome of this study is the generation of the theory of Selective Intentionality in engineering mathematics learning that describes how engineering students approach mathematics learning through a series of socio-psychological processes. The core category in this study is the category of intending that is surrounded by the other four categories of gathering, analysing, actualising and regulating. Another major outcome that arises from this study is the development of a typology of students with regards to how they experience and manage mathematics learning in their engineering courses in the case Polytechnic. The typology is based on the predominant distinctions among the participants according to their responses in the analysing, intending, actualising and regulating processes in the theory of Selective Intentionality. Accordingly, the students may be broadly classified into five types of learners: idealistic learners, competitive learners, pragmatic learners, fatalistic learners and dissonant learners. In short, this study provides a fresh perspective on how engineering students approach mathematics learning that is very important in their courses. At the same time, it has implications for the development of theory, practice and future research.

194. The Legal Dimensions of Employee Contribution to Capital and the Question of Legal Security

Author

EL KHIAT, Ayoub, El Bakkouri, Narjisse, EL KHIAT, Ayoub, and El Bakkouri, Narjisse

Abstract

This article addresses the concept of employee contribution to capital within the context of publicly traded joint-stock companies that engage in share buybacks as a modern mechanism for corporate management. It discusses the legal framework of this unique process and the associated legal challenges. Additionally, the article delves into the social implications of this process, as it affects the legal status of employees who simultaneously serve as contributors and employees, introducing a new concept known as economic interdependence, along with new rights and obligations The article also examines the outcomes resulting from this process on the status of participating employees. It highlights how they achieve profits from the returns on shares they own, significantly impacting their economic and social status. Furthermore, it contributes to enhancing the position of the enterprise and increasing the value of its shares in the market.

Abstract

Purpose Hyper activation of the JAK-STAT signaling underlies the pathophysiology of many human immune–mediated diseases. Herein, the study of 2 adult patients with SOCS1 haploinsufficiency illustrates the severe and pleomorphic consequences of its impaired regulation in the intestinal tract. Methods Two unrelated adult patients presented with gastrointestinal manifestations, one with Crohn’s disease-like ileo-colic inflammation refractory to anti-TNF and the other with lymphocytic leiomyositis causing severe chronic intestinal pseudo-occlusion. Next-generation sequencing was used to identify the underlying monogenic defect. One patient received anti-IL-12/IL-23 treatment while the other received the JAK1 inhibitor, ruxolitinib. Peripheral blood, intestinal tissues, and serum samples were analyzed before-and-after JAK1 inhibitor therapy using mass cytometry, histology, transcriptomic, and Olink assay. Results Novel germline loss-of-function variants in SOCS1 were identified in both patients. The patient with Crohn-like disease achieved clinical remission with anti-IL-12/IL-23 treatment. In the second patient with lymphocytic leiomyositis, ruxolitinib induced rapid resolution of the obstructive symptoms, significant decrease of the CD8+ T lymphocyte muscular infiltrate, and normalization of serum and intestinal cytokines. Decreased frequencies of circulating Treg cells, MAIT cells, and NK cells, with altered CD56bright:CD16lo:CD16hi NK subtype ratios were not modified by ruxolitinib. Conclusion SOCS1 haploinsufficiency can result in a broad spectrum of intestinal manifestations and need to be considered as differential diagnosis in cases of severe treatment-refractory enteropathies, including the rare condition of lymphocytic leiomyositis. This provides the rationale for genetic screening and considering JAK inhibitors in such cases.
