Auxiliary level classroom learning in Thailand rehearsal: Are we prepared for learning in the 21st-century?

Based on data from a survey of students and teachers in 933 Thailand secondary schools in the Northeastern area of the country, this study explores students’ and teachers’ perspectives of current -, issues and needs of the classroom practices towards 21 st century learning. The majority of the reported current instructional circumstance is traditional. The results found unsteady and slow internet connection, lack of technology, and uninteresting teaching methods as major problems in classroom practices. Responses to the needs of improvement suggest implementing new teaching strategies, more fun and relevance, better quality of internet connection, and enough devices and technology provided in schools. Additionally, digital behaviors of the students and teachers showed that they spend a couple hours a day online, mostly during 6pm to 10pm at home. The purpose of internet use is searching for information, whereas the most frequently used device accessing the internet is the Smartphone, and Facebook is the most-used social media. The delay of internet connection is found to be the most severe problem of internet usage through the experience of students and teachers in Thailand.
Antibacterial efficacy of curcumin, allicin, gingerol and cinnamon against Enterococcus faecalis: An in vitro study

Introduction: Bioactive compounds from plants have potential antimicrobial activity. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of curcumin, allicin, gingerol and cinnamon compared to 4% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) against Enterococcus faecalis and its biofilm. Methods: The dry herbal compounds were diluted with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Antimicrobial activity was evaluated using agar diffusion test, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay, minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) test, time kill study, and biofilm susceptibility assay. The zone of inhibition (ZOI) was determined using agar diffusion test on Muller Hinton (MH) agar plates. MIC was evaluated using the tube dilution method. Root canals of extracted human anterior teeth were instrumented, split into two halves, autoclaved, and incubated with brain heart infusion broth containing E. faecalis for 21 days to form a biofilm. The susceptibility of the biofilm to the test solutions was evaluated by counting bacterial colonies on MH agar. Results: NaOCl exhibited potent antimicrobial activity under all tested parameters. Allicin showed a significantly greater ZOI, while curcumin showed the least MIC among the tested herbal extracts (P<0.05). MBC varied widely among the groups with no significant difference between allicin and cinnamon (P>0.05). Gingerol and cinnamon were significantly superior to the other groups killing E. faecalis within 4-4.2 min (P<0.05). Curcumin, gingerol, and cinnamon were equally efficacious as NaOCl in completely eradicating E. faecalis biofilm (P>0.05). Conclusion: NaOCl emerged as the most efficacious antibacterial agent and all herbal extracts showed significant antibacterial activity against E. faecalis.
The connection between pioneer part trade, hierarchical firmness, seen authoritative help, interactional equity and authoritative citizenship conduct

It has been proposed that issues of organizational behaviours should be incorporated in the study for predicting subordinate citizenship behaviour. This research had one objective: to assess the impact of four behaviours – leader-member exchange, organizational inflexibility, perceived organizational support and interactional justice – on organizational citizenship behaviour. The subjects of this study were all full-time employees with their managers who working in the educational organization in Iran. This study surveyed 220 respondents. The sampling frame of the respondents was obtained from educational organization in Shiraz city in Iran. Data were collected on a structured questionnaire containing standard scales of transformational leadership behaviours, LMX, and organizational citizenship behaviours. After establishing the psychometric properties of the scales, hypotheses were tested through statistical analysis of the data. Results indicate that four variables are more likely to predict citizenship behaviour.
Classification of rat liver mitochondrial porousness progress pore by utilizing mitochondrial expanding measure

The mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) is considered to contribute substantially to the regulation of normal mitochondrial metabolism and plays as an important mediator of cell death. MPT is regulated in a tissue specific manner. The importance of this work is highlighted by the fact that knowledge regarding liver MPT may serve as important determinants of the physiological state of the liver. Our results suggest that liver mitochondria exhibit a cyclosporin A sensitive, exogenous calcium mediated full scale MPT opening, indicative of classical MPT. Transmission electron microscopy suggests a homogeneous mitochondrial population. Complex II substrate (succinate) in comparison to complex I substrate (NADH) induces increased MPT opening. Reactive Oxygen Species induces liver mitochondrial MPT opening and is abrogated by ascorbic acid and -tocopherol. Liver MPT is sensitive to redox modulation. Reducing and oxidizing agents decrease and increase MPT opening respectively. MPT of liver mitochondria show typical pH dependence, acidic and alkaline pH induces MPT closure while, maximal MPT opening and calcium sensitivity was achieved at a pH range of ~7.2-7.4. ATP inhibited, while ADP activated MPT opening. Thus, our study demonstrates that all the major MPT functions in normal liver mitochondria could be determined by simple mitochondrial swelling assay under well-defined conditions, thereby suggesting its application in therapeutic diagnostics.

Proposing a Model to Improve the Competitiveness of Iran's medical tourism industry

Medical tourism, as a flourishing and profitable industry, has attracted the attention of many countries. The purpose of the present research was to propose a model to improve the competitiveness of Iran's medical tourism industry. In terms of philosophical foundations, the present study was interpretive. It is applied and developmental in nature. It was also inductive and followed a qualitative approach. The data collection method was a semi-structured interview following a review of the related literature. The research population comprised 110 hospitals formally permitted to treat foreigners. The sample consisted of 10 interviewees selected in a convenience sampling method. The data collection continued until data saturation. The collected data were analyzed in MAXQDA2020. Having coded the transcribed interviews, the authors extracted 175 keywords (Memo). After standardization, the codes were divided into 15 main categories and 77 sub-categories, which included: government support, standardization of medical services, development of medical tourism, quality of medical services, cost of medical services, hospital facilities and equipment, branding, marketing, advertising, culture, and so forth. As the findings showed, Iran is not yet prepared for the globalization and competitiveness of the healthcare services it provides. In the first place, attention to and satisfaction of domestic needs seem to be essential along with a scientific and technological development, standardization, advertisement and marketing of health services.
Rural Development in The Post-Covid-19 Outbreak; An Empirical Evidence of Indonesian Village-Owned Entreprises (VOE) Stakeholder

This study aims to identify stakeholder roles and strategic factors in rural area development through VOE in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. Matrix of Alliances and Conflicts: Tactics, Objectives, and Recommendations ( MACTOR) analysis , are used to answer the research questions . The data was collected using questionnaires and interviews with VOE stakeholders. The empirical findings reveal some factors determining the VOE's achievements. First, the finding evidenced that the Village Consultative Board (BPD), stakeholders that are the most important factor determining the VOE development, was the most important actor in VOE achievement. Second, the study finds also that during the COVID-19 outbreaks the performance of VOE was decreased, due to the weak coordination among stakeholders. Third, VOE development was limited during the COVID-19 pandemic era. This study's uniqueness is expected to be implemented in different areas with identical characteristics since the COVID-19 pandemic is equivalent to economic pressure or socioeconomic emergency. A new approach to stakeholders' involvement to analyze the VOE achievement is provided in this study

Conceptual and Empirical Pinpointing of Consciousness

52 Abstract Consciousness is targeted by both philosophers and neuroscientists; but different methodological premises and even different conceptions about what conscious experience is and how the challenges and potential problems associated with consciousness research should be formulated underlie the different approaches. Namely, whereas empirical data and the constant refinement of experimental procedures to expand and modify this body of empirical data and resulting empirical theories are crucial to neuroscience, the significance of empirical knowledge to philosophy is less clear: Although empirical data certainly can influence philosophical concepts, the latter are nonetheless prerequisites of empirical research itself and thus may themselves not be empirically testable. The present paper elaborates from a multidisciplinary, neuroscientist-philosopher’s perspective the relation of philosophical concepts and empirical research on consciousness, drawing on two exemplary controversies from the philosophy of mind – on the ontological status of experiential properties and on free will. Consequences from both the scientific and the philosophical standpoint are discussed.
Scholarly attainments of children in foreigner families

Utilizing data on approximately 16,000 children from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey-Kindergarten Cohort and a rich set of mediating factors on 16 immigrant groups, this paper examined the associations between children’s immigrant generation status and their academic performance. The changes in academic achievements during kindergarten and first-grade were also examined to explore the varying learning paces exhibited by children from different countries of origin. Results indicate that, compared to third and later generation non-Hispanic white children, children of Latin American regions tended to have lower reading and math scores, while children of Asian regions tended to have higher reading and math scores. In addition, although children of immigrants may have either higher (e.g., children from East Asia) or lower scores (e.g., children from Mexico) by first-grade compared to third and later generation non-Hispanic white children, the former generally learned skills at faster paces, thus widening (e.g., for children from East Asia) or narrowing (e.g., for children from Mexico) academic achievement gaps. Child and family characteristics accounted for a large share of the differences in children’s academic achievements. Home, school, and neighborhood environments may also matter but to a lesser extent. Research implications are discussed.
Air Pollution Prediction using Machine Learning – A Review

In the effort to achieve accurate air pollution predictions, researchers have contributed various methodologies with varying data and different approaches that can be judged accurate in their respective contexts. Diverse approaches have been used so far in the literature to achieve optimal accuracy in the prediction of air pollution. Researchers have also used different combinations of data such as Meteorological, Traffic and Air Quality data. Hence, creating a situation where there are open questions on which of the machine learning (ML) algorithms or ensemble of algorithms is best suited for various combinations of data and varying dependent and independent variables. While it is obvious that there is a need for a more optimally performing predictive model for air pollution prediction, it is difficult to know what combination of algorithms and data is best suited for various dependent variables. In this study, we reviewed 26 research articles reported recently in the literature and the methods applied to different data to identify what combination of ML algorithms and data works best for the prediction of various air pollutants. The study revealed that despite the availability of many datasets, researchers in this domain cannot avoid the use of Air Quality and Meteorological datasets. However, Random Forest appears to perform well for various combinations of datasets.
Antibiofilm and antibacterial activities of lupinifolin in combination with protein synthesis inhibitors against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-derived biofilm formation is a crucial virulence factor, which essentially contributes to therapeutic challenges. This study aims to evaluate the antibiofilm and antibacterial formation activities of lupinifolin, a prenylated flavanone derived from Derris reticulata Craib. stem, in combination with protein synthesis inhibitors. Methods: The crystal violet biofilm formation assay was performed to determine the biofilm formation activity. The synergistic antibacterial activities were evaluated using the checkerboard and time-kill assays. Results: Lupinifolin and tetracycline significantly reduced MRSA biofilm formation with IC50 values of 15.32 ± 5.98 and 13.42 ± 5.90 µg/mL, respectively. On the contrary, the individual treatment of streptomycin and clindamycin tended to enhance biofilm formation. Lupinifolin at the sub-MIC of 8 µg/mL in combination with certain sub-MICs of tetracycline (8 and 16 µg/mL), streptomycin (16, 32, and 64 µg/mL), or clindamycin (4, 8, and 16 µg/mL) caused significant inhibitions against MRSA biofilm formation (P<0.05). The combination of lupinifolin and streptomycin exhibited a synergy (FIC index <0.625), confirmed in the time-kill assay. Conversely, the combination of lupinifolin and tetracycline or clindamycin resulted in no interaction (FIC indices of 1.0078 and <1.0156, respectively). Conclusion: The antibacterial synergy of lupinifolin and streptomycin possibly contributed to their antibiofilm-forming activity. However, the combinations of lupinifolin and tetracycline or clindamycin conceivably executed their antibiofilm activity directly against the MRSA biofilm formation process. These findings indicate a potential role for lupinifolin as an antibiofilm enhancer to diminish MRSA biofilm formation.
The role of TNC in atherosclerosis and drug development opportunities

Tenascin C (TNC), a rich glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix, exhibits a pro-atherosclerosis or anti-atherosclerosis effect depending on its location. TNC, especially its C domain/isoform (TNC-C), is strongly overexpressed in atherosclerotic plaque active areas but virtually undetectable in most normal adult tissues, suggesting that TNC is a promising delivery vector target for atherosclerosis-targeted drugs. Many delivery vectors were investigated by recognizing TNC-C, including G11, G11-iRGD, TN11, PL1, and PL3. F16 and FNLM were also investigated by recognizing TNC-A1 and TNC, respectively. Notably, iRGD was undergoing clinical trials. PL1 not only recognizes TNC-C but also the extra domain-B (EDB) of fibronectin (FN), which is also a promising delivery vector for atherosclerosis-targeted drugs, and several conjugate agents are undergoing clinical trials. The F16-conjugate agent F16IL2 is undergoing clinical trials. Therefore, G11-iRGD, PL1, and F16 have great development value. Furthermore, ATN-RNA and IMA950 were investigated in clinical trials as therapeutic drugs and vaccines by targeting TNC, respectively. Therefore, targeting TNC could greatly improve the success rate of atherosclerosis-targeted drugs and/or specific drug development. This review discussed the role of TNC in atherosclerosis, atherosclerosis-targeted drug delivery vectors, and agent development to provide knowledge for drug development targeting TNC.
Dissipation and Dietary Risk Assessment of Prochloraz in Strawberries under Greenhouse Conditions

Prochloraz and its metabolites in strawberries have not been determined until now. Meanwhile, few reports in the literature have concerned the dissipation behavior and risk assessment of prochloraz and its metabolites in strawberries under greenhouse conditions in Beijing. A method for the determination of prochloraz and its metabolites in strawberries was developed using QuEChERS in combination with ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Prochloraz and its metabolites recovered from strawberries were present in concentrations of 73.06% to 116.01%, their RSDs ranged from 1.12% to 9.17%, and their limits of detection ranged from 0.1 to 1 μg kg−1. Then, a study was conducted on the dissipation of prochloraz in strawberries under greenhouse conditions. The dissipation of prochloraz in strawberries followed the first-order kinetic equation, and its half-life was 8.06 days. The health risk associated with prochloraz in strawberries was evaluated using the target hazard quotient (THQ) method and EFSA PRIMo model. The results showed that the THQ values, %ARfD values, and %ADI values were less than 1. These results indicate that no health concerns of prochloraz are associated with the consumption of the studied strawberries. The government can use the results of this study to support the establishment of a maximum residue level for prochloraz in strawberries.
CONVEX SEMIGROUPS

In this paper, we investigate convex semigroups on Banach lattices with order continuous norm, having L p -spaces in mind as a typical application. We show that the basic results from linear C 0 -semigroup theory extend to the convex case. We prove that the generator of a convex C 0 -semigroup is closed and uniquely determines the semigroup whenever the domain is dense. Moreover, the domain of the generator is invariant under the semigroup; a result that leads to the well-posedness of the related Cauchy problem. In a last step, we provide conditions for the existence and strong continuity of semigroup envelopes for families of C 0 -semigroups. The results are discussed in several examples such as semilinear heat equations and nonlinear integro-diﬀerential equations.

Research Article: Using Simulation Games to Teach Ecosystem Service Synergies and Trade-offs

Natural capital is of critical importance for biodiversity and people's well-being. Studies indicate that understanding the connection between environmental health and human benefit (i.e., ecosystem services) can promote conservation-friendly decisions; however, many people don't recognize the benefits they derive from nature, nor the way their decisions affect those benefits—and the consequences for our communities and economy. One method we have tested for educating people about ecosystem services and valuation is game-based learning. To help people understand their potential impact on ecosystem services, and how alternative decisions can have better or worse outcomes for people and nature, we created two social simulation games collectively called Tradeoff! Through an iterative design process and pilot testing in a number of locations with a variety of audiences, we have developed a set of learning principles for educational ecosystem service games.
