Research Question 4 Sample Clauses

Research Question 4. ‌ The fourth question in this research sought to investigate how perceived language discrimination from ethnic Kazakh speakers affects Russian-dominant ethnic Kazakhs’ attitudes towards learning the Kazakh language. In this respect, the majority of respondents do not tend to link their PLD with a language learning attitude. Surprisingly, all interview respondents perceive the educational system and teachers’ practice in classrooms as a hindrance rather than a help towards Kazakh language learning and consider that “it needs to develop another educational program”. This finding supports recent research by Xxxxxxxx (2019) and Xxxxxxxxxx (2020), who reported that the incompetence of teaching staff and the low quality of Kazakh language textbooks are considered as one of the factors for a negative association with the Kazakh language. Moreover, teachers' shaming for not knowing the ethnic language discourages students from learning a language. Furthermore, the participants do not feel supported by the government; according to one of the interviewees the government’s steps towards the “politicization” and “nationalization” of the Kazakh language led to “people beginning to aggressively set up against those who have a poor command of the Kazakh language”. One unanticipated finding of this research was that the absolute majority of the interviewees have a positive attitude towards the Kazakh language and learning it despite their low proficiency in it and PLD from Kazakhs with high proficiency in Kazakh. This result has not previously been described in the literature on language attitude and questions the relevance of the outcomes from Abidin et al. (2012), Gömleksiz (2010), Merisuo- Storm (2007), Xxxxx (1971), and Walqui (2000), who proposed that success in language learning heavily depends on the attitudes towards the language, to Kazakhstani context. Also, it could be argued that these findings are not relevant when it comes to mother tongue as a foreign language. The reason why language learning attitudes remains positive after PLD may be explained by the three symbolic and material factors outlined below. Mother Tongue as Marker of Identity‌ Even though the Russian language was the L1 for all interview participants, they tend to perceive the Kazakh language as a mother tongue even at levels of proficiency as low as L2 or L3. Also, the respondents identified Kazakh as their identity and marked it as a “beautiful language” and “my language”. It seems possible ...

Research Question 4. How variable is a metric between lake types, between waterbodies, within a waterbody, and between transects? Table 3.5 compares the relative proportion of variance in the selected metrics at each level of the sampling hierarchy, and summarised this variance as proportions between and within waterbodies. Results are presented per metric for models with and without TP and alkalinity as explanatory variables. Not surprisingly, both ICM-LM and Xxxxxxxxx show similar behaviour, with 70-75% of variance in the metric occurring between waterbodies and countries in the null model. Including TP and alkalinity in the models reduces this variance to 40-50%. In these latter models, ICM-LM, compared to Xxxxxxxxx, illustrates a slightly higher proportion of variance between waterbodies + countries, with correspondingly less variance within waterbodies. Maximum growing depth also behaves similarly to ICM-LM, although the covariates appear slightly more successful in explaining between-waterbody variance. The richness metric follows a completely different behaviour; introduction of the covariates reduces the variance between waterbodies but accentuates the variance between countries and total between waterbody variance remains roughly constant.

  • Research Questions The study addresses the following questions.

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.
