The Active Musical Room: Fostering Sensorimotor Discoveries and Musical Creativity in Toddlers

In the current study, we investigate the implementation of a musical workshop in an early childhood education setting. The workshop is based on a shared space for musical creativity (the Active Musical Room) comprising six different musically relevant objects, which toddlers were free to explore and play with. Inspired by Delalande’s Pedagogie musicale d’éveil, the workshop was facilitated by a teacher who developed strategies to help the toddlers’ musical engagement. Data sources for this case study included semistructured interviews with the teacher and school principal, video recordings of each session, field notes and observations made by nonparticipant observers, and questionnaires completed by parents of the toddlers. Categories concerning three interrelated dimensions of interest emerged from our analyses: the decisions of the teacher, the affordances of the objects in the room, and the creative potential of each toddler. Although generalizations cannot be proposed given the nature of the study, our results point to the recursive interplay between the exploratory drive of the toddlers, their sensorimotor ability, and the constraints afforded by the environment in which they are situated (i.e., teachers, objects).
Modeling the Consumption Response to the Cares Act

To predict the effects of the 2020 U S CARES Act on con-sumption, we extend a model that matches responses to past consumption stimulus packages The extension allows us to account for two novel features of the coronavirus crisis First, during lockdowns, many types of spending are undesirable or impossible Second, some of the jobs that disappear during the lockdown will not reappear We estimate that, if the lock-down is short-lived (the median point of view as we are writing in April 2020), the combination of expanded unemployment insurance benefits and stimulus payments should be sufficient to allow a swift recovery in consumer spending to pre-crisis levels If the lockdown lasts longer (or there is a “second wave”), an extension of enhanced unemployment benefits will likely be necessary for consumption spending to recover quickly © 2021, European Central Bank All rights reserved
HOUSEFLIES (MUSCA DOMESTICA) AS POTENTIAL CARRIERS OF HUMAN INTESTINAL PARASITES IN JALINGO METROPOLIS

House flies (Musca domestica) are nuisance pest because of their ubiquitous nature in the mechanical transmission of parasites to man. This study identifies the pathogenic parasites associated with house fly in Jalingo, Nigeria. A total of 200 flies were collected from 4 locations (Abattoir, Jalingo Main Market, Kasuwan Bera and Mile-Six Market) within Jalingo metropolis between August, 2019 and November, 2019. Three species of flies were identified during the study namely; Musca spp, Sacophage spp and Stomoxys spp. The house flies were analyzed for the presence pathogenic parasites using standard laboratory techniques. The results showed that the parasites E. histolytica 25(28.74 %), Taenia spp 25(28.74 %), A. lumbricoides 20(22.99 %), Giardia lamblia 8(9.20 %) and Trichuris trichiura 9(10.34 %) are associated with the house flies. The results showed no significant variation (X2= 0.61, p>0.05) between the parasites species. It can be concluded that house flies in Jalingo harbor pathogenic parasites on their bodies. The fact that houseflies have been incriminated to be mechanical transmitters of pathogenic diseases to man because of their anthropogenic lifestyles, measures must be taken to control fly population in order to avert both the present and future outbreak of disease conditions emanating from the flies activities.
Broaching the brook: Daylighting, community and the ‘stickiness’ of water

Over the last century, under the modern hydraulic model, waterways across the world have been heavily canalized and culverted, driven into underground pipes, drains and sewers. This hydraulic approach has hardwired an isolated water network into the urban fabric, fragmenting erstwhile patterns and dynamics of life, both human and nonhuman. Ecologically, it has been hugely damaging, reducing water quality and biotic diversity, but also socially, disconnecting citizens from the waterways that service and characterize the city. Consequently, since the 1990s, waterway restoration has become widespread as a design solution to degraded rivers and streams, reinstating compromised hydrological, geomorphological and ecological processes. Deculverting or ‘daylighting’, the focus of this paper, is a radical form of restoration, opening up subterranean, culverted waterways often forgotten by communities above ground. Yet, as this paper emphasizes, waterway restoration has tended to privilege ecological over social objectives, while public engagement in project conceptualization has been limited, conducted ‘downstream’ subsequent to planning and design stages. Restoration schemes have therefore tended to reflect the concerns of professionals rather than communities, overlooking their potential for social renewal and change. Drawing on workshop data collected through participatory mapping exercises, this paper explores the case for daylighting a culverted brook in Urmston, Greater Manchester, focusing in particular on the preferences, concerns and knowledge of local residents. The paper compares professional and community perspectives on the preferred scheme design and potential benefits of daylighting, drawing out differences and tensions between them, temporarily ‘unblackboxing’ the brook. It is ventured that daylighting can unleash the social ‘stickiness’ of water, its proclivity to draw and bind together, to revitalize the park, enhancing connection to wildness, attachment to place and sense of community. This is particularly crucial in the face of decreased local authority funding and related crises in park management.
Talking about culturally responsive approaches to education: teacher professional learning, Indigenous learners and the politics of schooling

Abstract Culturally responsive approaches to schooling (CRS) aim to address pervasive inequities that exist in education. More specifically, CRS practices seek to improve the experiences and academic achievements of marginalised and minoritised learners, such as those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. In this paper, we consider the possibilities for CRS in the context of Australia where Indigenous students (along with their parents, peers and teachers) are consistently reminded, courtesy of the deficit government policies and ‘close the gap’ rhetoric, that they have the worst educational outcomes of any settler society. This paper does not seek to offer fixed solutions in response to this. Rather, based on shared experience researching and teaching together that draw on CRS, the paper foregrounds a collaborative culturally responsive dialogue between the authors. Together we discuss, deliberate and despair about the state of the education system for Indigenous students, we also remain tentatively hopeful about how CRS might become embedded in teaching and learning, through teacher professional learning, in ways that are relevant to the Australian context.
Perceptional Analysis of Msmes Tax Justice Aspect

This study aims to identify how the role of tax justice for taxpayer of Small and Medium sized enterprises (SMEs) will affect the level of compliance with paying taxes. The results of this study are also useful for Direktorat Jendral Pajak to identify how SMEs react to these policies so that they can represent the condition of their business in their obligation to pay taxes. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through questionnaires and in-depth interviews with respondents. The population of this study was SMEs assisted by Dinas Koperasi dan UMKM kota Salatiga with 1,656 business units with the method of determining many samples using the slovin formula measurement and with convenience sampling. The impact of the application of PP 23 of 2018 has been felt by taxpayer of SMEs since July 2018, the reduction in tax rates by half a percent of the previous tax rate has been proven to increase tax compliance for taxpayers of SMEs but the application of PP 23 of 2018 does not affect tax compliance for taxpayers of SMEs who have previously obeyed and taxpayer of SMEs with the motive to pay certain taxes.

Designing a Radiative Antidote to CO2

Solar radiation modification (SRM) reduces the CO2‐induced change to the mean global hydrological cycle disproportionately more than it reduces the CO2‐induced increase in mean surface temperature. Thus, if SRM were used to offset all CO2‐induced mean warming, global‐mean precipitation would be less than in an unperturbed climate. Here, we show that the mismatch between the mean hydrological effects of CO2 and SRM may partly be alleviated by spectrally tuning the SRM intervention (reducing insolation at some wavelengths more than others). By concentrating solar dimming at near‐infrared wavelengths, where H2O has strong absorption bands, the direct effect of CO2 on the tropospheric energy budget can be offset, which minimizes perturbations to the mean hydrological cycle. Idealized cloud‐resolving simulations of radiative‐convective equilibrium confirm that spectrally tuned SRM can simultaneously maintain mean surface temperature and precipitation at their unperturbed values even as large quantities of CO2 are added to the atmosphere.
The Determinants for Accepting and Using e-Government Revenue Application (e-filing)

The determinants for accepting and using the e-Government revenue applications (e-filing) is a phenomenon most governments, including South Africa are still grappling with, and therefore, an ongoing information systems business leadership research is a key issue. The research problem is that despite the eGovernment revenue application being implemented and maintained at a high cost, there is little uptake and optimal use. The e-Government revenue application has greater benefits such as tax calculation accuracy, tax submission done timeously during any time of the day, improving tax efficiency by reducing administration cost. Since the value and the investment is huge, the burning question is then why the accepting and usage of e-Government revenue application by taxpayers not as it should? Information from previous studies are quite on this phenomenon, in the South African context and this then left a knowledge gaps, which this paper bridges. This paper focuses on explaining and exploring the determinants for adopting and using e-Government revenue application as reasons why some of taxpayers accept and use the revenue application while others are not using it are still unknown. Argument is that despite South Africa implemented a cutting-edge system since 2006, taxpayers still queue at its branches for manual submissions. There is a need to understand the determinants for acceptance and usage of eGovernment revenue application.

Isotopic niche size of Coregonus artedi (sensu lato) Increases in the presence of Mysis diluviana, expanded habitat use and phenotypic diversity

Abstract Post‐glacial colonization of lakes in Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada resulted in food webs with cisco (Coregonus artedi sensu lato) and either Mysis diluviana or Chaoborus spp. as the dominant diel migrator. Mysis as prey, its diel movements and benthic occupancy, are hypothesized to be key elements of ecological opportunity for cisco diversity in the Laurentian Great Lakes. If correct, the hypothesis strongly implies that lakes with Mysis would have greater trophic niche size and drive greater adaptive radiation of cisco forms relative to lakes without Mysis. The dichotomy in diel migrator in Algonquin Park lakes was an opportunity to assess the isotopic niche size of cisco (δ15N and δ13C) and determine if niche size expands with Mysis presence. We found the presence of Mysis is necessary to expand isotopic niche size in our study lakes. The use of habitats not typically associated with the ancestral form of cisco (e.g., benthic habitats) and phenotypic diversity (blackfin and cisco) also continue to expand niche size in Mysis‐based food webs. Partial ecological speciation based on a large niche space appears to be present in one lake (Cauchon Lake) where use of alternative habitats is the only real difference in cisco. The presence of blackfin expands niche space in Cedar and Radiant Lakes. This was not matched in Hogan Lake where niche space was relatively smaller with similar forms. Possible reasons for this discrepancy may be related to the asymmetric basin of Hogan Lake and whether the two forms overlap during cool and cold‐water periods of the annual temperature cycle. By comparing trophic niche size among lakes with and without Mysis, we conclude that Mysis provides a key ecological opportunity for cisco diversity in our study lakes and likely more widely.
Refractory Urticaria with Raised Antistreptolysin O (ASO) Titer: An Intriguing Case of Adult-Onset Still’s Disease

Patient: Female, 26-year-old Final Diagnosis: Adult-onset Still’s disease Symptoms: Fever • urticaria Medication: — Clinical Procedure: — Specialty: Dermatology • Rheumatology Objective: Rare disease Background: Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic autoinflammatory disease with a myriad of clinical presentations. The diagnosis is often challenging because there is no specific confirmatory test. Uncommon presentations can delay the proper diagnosis and management. Case Report: A 26-year-old woman presented with a history of urticaria for 2 years that had failed to respond to many types of treatment. Cutaneous biopsy showed neutrophilic urticaria. A diagnosis of AOSD was made after infectious, drug-related, neoplastic, and rheumatic etiologies had been excluded and based on the triad of fever, evanes-cent rash, and joint pain. Besides leukocytosis and increased levels of inflammatory markers, the patient’s laboratory results showed an extremely high D-dimer concentration and an increased antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer. Treatment with prednisolone and methotrexate resulted in resolution of the woman’s symptoms. Once clinical remission had been achieved, all laboratory markers returned to normal, yet the patient’s ASO titer remained elevated during 18 months of follow-up. Conclusions: Urticaria is a rare cutaneous manifestation of AOSD. Histopathology typically shows predominant neutrophilic infiltrates, which is a unique entity called neutrophilic urticarial dermatosis (NUD). Identifying diseases associated with NUD will facilitate prompt diagnosis and treatment of AOSD, as therapies for it largely differ depending on the underlying cause. Known etiologies of AOS include systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Schnitzler syndrome, hereditary autoinflammatory periodic syndromes, and serum sickness-like drug eruption. An elevated ASO titer is unusual, and in our case, it did not seem to follow the patient’s clinical course. An elevated D-dimer concentration can be an indicator of disease activity and testing might be beneficial in a subset of patients with normal ferritin levels.
The sequences near Chi sites allow the RecBCD pathway to avoid genomic rearrangements

Bacterial recombinational repair is initiated by RecBCD, which creates a 3′ single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) tail on each side of a double strand break (DSB). Each tail terminates in a Chi site sequence that is usually distant from the break. Once an ssDNA-RecA filament forms on a tail, the tail searches for homologous double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) to use as template for DSB repair. Here we show that the nucleoprotein filaments rarely trigger sufficient synthesis to form an irreversible repair unless a long strand exchange product forms at the 3′ end of the filament. Our experimental data and modeling suggest that terminating both filaments with Chi sites allows recombinational repair to strongly suppress fatal genomic rearrangements resulting from mistakenly joining different copies of a repeated sequence after a DSB has occurred within a repeat. Taken together our evidence highlights cellular safe fail mechanisms that bacteria use to avoid potentially lethal situations.
Standpoints on immune responses against COVID-19

COVID-19 pandemic disease has firstly occurred in Wuhan, Hubei, China. Then the infection spread globally. Many researchers now suggest the strong similarities of COVID-19 with the previous pathogenic human beta coronaviruses SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. But there is limited knowledge about the immune response to COVID-19. So on the basis of the immune response of these viruses, we will try to predict how the immune system can deal with this infection. In this review, we focus on human coronavirus types and discuss current knowledge of immune response against SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV immune response, which may be helpful in offering the perspectives on immune responses against COVID-19.
High-speed dual-view band-limited illumination profilometry using temporally interlaced acquisition

We report dual-view band-limited illumination profilometry (BLIP) with temporally interlaced acquisition (TIA) for high-speed, three-dimensional (3D) imaging. Band-limited illumination based on a digital micromirror device enables sinusoidal fringe projection at up to 4.8 kHz. The fringe patterns are captured alternately by two high-speed cameras. A new algorithm, which robustly matches pixels in acquired images, recovers the object’s 3D shape. The resultant TIA–BLIP system enables 3D imaging over 1000 frames per second on a field of view (FOV) of up to 180 mm × 130 mm (corresponding to 1180×860 pixels) in captured images. We demonstrated TIA–BLIP’s performance by imaging various static and fast-moving 3D objects. TIA–BLIP was applied to imaging glass vibration induced by sound and glass breakage by a hammer. Compared to existing methods in multiview phase-shifting fringe projection profilometry, TIA–BLIP eliminates information redundancy in data acquisition, which improves the 3D imaging speed and the FOV. We envision TIA–BLIP to be broadly implemented in diverse scientific studies and industrial applications.
Context-Based Learning Supported by Environmental Measurement Devices in Science Teacher Education: A Mixed Method Research

ABSTRACT Context-based learning has been a highly preferred approach in science education in recent years. However, it can be seen that context-based learning has been neglected in environmental education. This study provides clues as to how the context-based learning approach is used in environmental education. It also shows that environmental measurement devices can be used in context-based learning in order to educate prospective science teachers. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of a context-based learning approach, based on environmental measurement devices, on prospective science teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and their environmental literacy. Fifty-four Turkish prospective science teachers participated in the study. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the context-based learning approach has a positive effect on the environmental education self-efficacy beliefs of prospective science teachers, and their environmental literacies. The qualitative data showed that the prospective science teachers’ knowledge about environmental problems increased. In addition, positive developments were observed with regard to belief in the self-efficacy of the prospective teachers in terms of environmental education. The results suggest that context-based learning, supported by environmental measurement devices, can be effectively utilised as a framework in courses or extracurricular modules for environmental education.
Morphological differentiation between Bilih Fish (Cyprinidae: Mystacoleucus padangensis, Blekeer) in Singkarak Lake and Anai River, West Sumatra, Indonesia

Mystacoleucus padangensis or bilih fish is an endemic species of Singkarak Lake. It has accidentally introduced to Anai River through water canal from Singkarak’s hydroelectric system. Changes in habitat type from lentic to lotic have been suppossed to force this species to make morphological adaptation. This study aimed to compare morphological variation of bilih fish living at the two habitat types. We measured 29 morphological characters of 400 individuals from each habitat. We also measured 19 environmental parameters. To clarify differentiation between the two population and environmental parameters we used mann-whitney Utest. The results showed differentiation between 13 characters of Anai bilih fish, i.e. preorbital distance, eye diameter, postorbital distance, head length, prepelvic distance, predorsal distance, head depth, body depth, caudal fork length, caudal peduncle length (ventral), anal fin base length, pelvic and pectoral fin length. The differences between some environmental parameters could take responsible to the differentiation of bilih. This study supports that adaptation to the water velocity has caused anterior differences between the two populations.
Baseline characteristics, level of disease severity and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 admitted to intensive care unit in COVID-19 dedicated Mugda Medical College and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Background: Novel coronavirus disease is associated with highly intensive care unit (ICU) mortality. With the dramatic increase of confirmed cases as well as death toll in Bangladesh, timely and effective management of severely and critically ill patients appears to be particularly important. This includes streamlining workflows for rapid diagnosis and isolation, clinical management, and infection prevention. The main objective of this study was identification of the demographic, clinical characteristics, severity and outcome of patients admitted into ICU. Methods: We aimed to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics, severity of disease, management patterns and outcomes of critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 admitted to ICU in a Bangladeshi setting and for this purpose a retro-prospective study of conveniently selected 63 ICU admitted patients with COVID-19 was conducted from May 1 to June 30, 2020. Data were obtained from patient charts and the hospitals’ records using a structured questionnaire. Results: Most of the ICU patients were older male (30, 65.3%) and most of them were 70 or above years of age group (17, 37.0%). ICU patients more likely suffered from comorbidities like hypertension (938, 60.3%); diabetes (36, 57.1%); chronic kidney disease (21, 33.3%). In most cases treatment in ICU included the administration of antibiotics (100.0%) (Meropenem, 20, 31.7%). Forty-Eight patients died (discharge mortality, 76.2%), and fourteen patients were discharged alive from the ICU with a rate of 22.2%. One patient transferred (Palliative discharge, 1.6%) to other facilities for palliative care purpose. Conclusions: Our findings also highlight the importance of planning for mass critical care along with central oxygen supply system as the need for ICU care and ventilator support to treat patients with COVID-19 grows rapidly in Bangladesh.
