Most parents or guardians do not pay much attention to their children whether the particular family is rich or poor. As a result, children have to face various disturbances during their childhood. There is numerous research in the literature to recognize the factors affecting child negligence. However, there is a lack of research in the literature to identify the association between demographic factors and neglect categories in the Sri Lankan Context. Demographic data are the information that exhibits the basic information of the person including education, age, hometown, marital status, gender, ethnicity, religion, siblings, and so on. The objectives of this study are to identify the influence on demographic factors for child negligence and find out the most common category of child neglect. Primary data were collected using a mixed research method and snowballing technique utilized for sampling. The researcher has distributed structured questionnaires (N=134) and conducted semi-structured interviews (N= 10) for the neglected children who lived in Gampaha District including Wattala, Ragama, Dompe, Weliweriya, Peliyagoda, Wewellagara, and Kelaniya in Western Province, Sri Lanka. Frequency analysis, Chi-square test, factor analysis and content analysis were used for analyzing purposes of the research. Findings show that gender, living area, age, educational level, and marital status can be affected for child neglect and religion, ethnicity and siblings were not the affecting factors for the child negligence. Age is the highest affected factor and the gender of the respondents was the lowest important factor to child neglect. Quantitative findings were more similar to qualitative findings. Results exhibited that physical neglect is the most common type of child neglect where several indicators were found to be highly influential. The indicator “Made sure that I did not get enough sleep” was found to be a highly affecting factor for the child's physical neglect. The cognitive neglect type has the lowest respondents while Supervision and emotional neglect indicated second and third places respectively. Therefore, the government should implement many awareness programs for parents or guardians to minimize child negligence in the future.Item Translators at the Risk of Technology Taking Over; A Linguistic Analysis Based on Translation and Technology(Faculty of Graduate Studies - University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2021) Dissanayake, Shivanka Ayanthi; Wanasinghe, W.M.S.P.KHuman Translators are being inter-cultural emissaries since the dawn of languages and that has made communication a supreme element. But human intelligence was eventually threatened by artificial intelligence, in which, most industries were began to invade by machines, and translation industry was no exception. As the result computer aided translation tools and translation software were emerged to enhance the productivity of human translators, which later revolutionized their profession. At present there remains controversial fact of artificial intelligence being invaded the human creativity of translators. Hence, this study focusses on how translators should survive at the risk. To examine this fact, primary data were collected from selected translators and IT professionals across the globe via questionnaire, interviews and focus group discussions and secondary data were gathered through archivals. It is still a phantom to beat human creativity by any machines, accordingly, the study identifies technological gap between professional translators, in country and language wise as the real risk in competitive language market. Based on findings, it is an essential requirement of the language market to produce poli-literate translators to perform challenging role as globalized communicators with localization specialties.Item Breakout Rooms for an Engaging and Effective Online Learning Environment(Faculty of Graduate Studies - University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2021) Jayarathne, Priyanwada; Gunawardana, AshaniCommunication is essential for effective language learning either written or spoken. It paves the ways to the leaners to test their language learning hypothesis and to practice the target language with peers in collaborative language learning settings. However, COVID-19 pandemic has affected severely on language learning as it deprived students of their real classrooms: primary, secondary, and even tertiary. With the introduction of emergency remote teaching (ERT), instructors struggle to deliver the content but students' actual engagement and interaction in online classes is yet to be monitored. Therefore, the present study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of Zoom - Breakout rooms as a tool to engage students successfully during synchronous online classes in the higher education sector. The participants of this case study were 04 instructors and 200 students who used Breakout rooms in their online classrooms for a period of 15 weeks. The student sample was reading for a Higher National Diploma in English. As to the data collected through the Google form survey, the results showed that language tutorials have become effective and successful with the use of Breakout rooms for group discussions, presentations, speeches, role plays, etc. Both instructors and learners made positive remarks as collaborative learning, individual engagement, feeling of liveliness, sense of belonging, less anxiety and possible monitoring of the instructor. The key difficulties encountered were connectivity issues and inadequacy of technical skills. Moreover, the cases of non-contribution and idling were also occasionally reported. All in all, the sample assured the effectiveness of the Breakout rooms not only in conducting successful ESL tutorials during this pandemic period but also as a way to remain in contact with the peers.Item Shifting teachers’ insights towards utilizing mobile based learning technologies in covid 19 pandemic situation(Faculty of Graduate Studies - University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2021) Dolawattha, D.D.M.; Premadasa, H. K. SalindaIt is very important to change the way of pursuing learning activities since the learning environment is changing every day due to various reasons such as advancement of the technology, health concerns such as present COVID pandemic situations, etc. For these reasons, one of the prevailing possibilities to change the method of academic service delivery is the use of mobile-based learning technologies. It is interesting to discuss that how teachers absorb mobile-based learning technologies when their academic services are disseminated. The main objective of this study is to identify the influencing factors for teachers to adopt mobile-based learning sources such as mobile learning applications, learning web portals, gamification, augmented reality, Learning tools (Chat, forums, assignments, quizzes, video, etc.), digital libraries, and learning management systems (LMS) in primary, secondary, and higher education. The study uses quantitative research methodology by utilizing data collected through an online survey questionnaire to understand the most significant factors for teachers’ perception to opt for mobile-based learning technologies. The sample of the study consists of 75 primary and secondary teaches who work in local schools and higher education institutes in Sri Lanka. The proposed impact model for teachers’ insight to utilize mobile-based technologies in education under COVID 19 pandemic situation, consists of six impact factors such as interactivity, usefulness, ease of use, facilitating conditions, ICT self-efficacy, and ICT Anxiety. The questionnaire includes six questions developed based on the proposed impact model. The five-point Likert scale values one to five for strongly disagree to strongly agree was used in the questionnaire to convert user responses and do statistical analysis. The statistical analysis was done using the Pearson correlation coefficient test to test the hypothesis and calculate the correlations among impact factors in the proposed model. The MINITAB computer application for windows was used to carry out the statistical calculations. According to the study results, correlations of each observed variable of the proposed impact models were greater than 0.5 and closer to 1. Therefore, each impact factor in the proposed model is strongly connected with the latent variable “teachers’ insight to utilize mobile-based technologies in education under COVID 19 pandemic situation”. This denotes that the teachers’ insight to utilize mobile-based technologies in education under the COVID 19 pandemic situation depends on mobile-based technologies’ integrated qualities such as interactivity, usefulness, ease of use, and facilities available, and also teachers’ ICT self-efficacy, and ICT Anxiety. However, according to the study results, the most significant factor for teachers’ mobile-based technology usage is ‘Facilitating Condition’. Finally, it can be concluded that the teachers are influenced by the facilities available in the mobile-based learning technologies. And they have realized the appropriateness of mobile-based learning technologies for learning in COVID pandemic situations especially in quarantined isolations and lockdown restrictions.Item Sustainability Furtherance of Ceylon Electricity Board Through Recycling of Aluminum Scrap to Aluminum Re-Draw Rod(Faculty of Graduate Studies - University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2021) Dhanapala, W.C.H.Ceylon Electricity Board uses Aerial Bundled Conductors for replacing existing low voltage bare lines under maintenance work and for newly constructed schemes or new extensions. Aerial Bundle Conductors provide multiple benefits to the electricity distribution network by increasing the network effectiveness and reliability. When the low voltage power lines of bare Aluminum conductors are converted to Aerial Bundle Conductors, the Aluminum conductors are removed as scrap material and nearly 1000 MTon Aluminum scraps are being sold per year at a predetermined price without using it for value addition purposes. Aluminum is one of the most sustainable and efficient material. This metal does not degrade its technical properties due to the process of melting down to its molten form. Therefore, Aluminum can be recycled infinitely. This project involved the study and investigation of the technical and economic feasibility of recycling Aluminum scrap to Aluminum Re-Draw rod rather than manufacturing Re-Draw rods from virgin Aluminum which incurs high cost and contributes to the depletion of Aluminum, a precious metal. 85% scrap Aluminum and only 15% virgin Aluminum were mixed for this process. Testing and detailed analysis were done on chemical composition, electrical properties, mechanical properties and dimensional tolerance to find the technical feasibility of the scrap Aluminum recycling process. It was proven from the tests and analytical results that fabricating Aluminum Re-Draw rods from scrap Aluminum is technically feasible. As per the intermediate testing done for the molten scrap Aluminum, it was explored that the virgin percentage can further be reduced or avoided by adopting proper cleaning and dross removing techniques. From this recycling process of Ceylon Electricity Board, the country can save about US $ 2.3 million (Rs 412 million) foreign exchange per year by converting 1000 MT of scrap Aluminum to Re-Draw Rods every year. According to the cost calculations, the economic benefit of the process of recycling will be more than 50%. Hence this process of recycling scrap Aluminum to Aluminum Re-Draw rod is technically and economically feasible.Item Rehabilitate the lost education of G.C.E O/L students 2021, in Paddiruppu Zone of Education(Faculty of Graduate Studies - University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2021) Vanmathy, RemoshanEach and every aspect of the world has obtained several changes during the pandemic situation of Covid-19 and all the people in the global are severely affected in physically, socially and economically due to the spread of unprecedented disease of corona virus.
