Strengthening the Organizing of Articles Readings among Graduate Students to Support their Construction of Research Proposals

The use of proper and appropriate technology can help graduate students’ in developmental and constructive writing. The editing and refining processes involved in the writing can either be carried out individually or in small groups. These processes are helpful for novice education researchers to work on and build their research proposals. Their ability to organize information based on their reading of articles, as well as organizing the identified information systematically, is essential for writing a research proposal.A study was conducted to look at the thinking of graduate students on the use of a learning template that was developed by the researchers and used in the Research Methodology classes. This template, called the Organizing Article Review Template (OART), contains elements or focus to organize students' thinking and writing when they are reading research articles. A total of 34Master students, four Research Methodology course instructors, and 16 Master students’ Project Paper supervisors from the Faculty of Education of a public university in the North of Peninsular Malaysia were involved in the study entrenched within the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). The data for this qualitative study was obtained from semi-structured interviews with all the research participants and from students’ reflective writing. The findings of the study show the positive acceptance of students towards the use of templates to organize their reading of articles. The template trained them to focus on reading and selecting appropriate and relevant information in the articles. The use of technology tools such as computers, smart and android phones, as well as appropriate computer programs (for example Words, Excel, and Google docs) were very helpful in supporting the use of OART,which had contributed and helped them to further strengthened their process of writing the research proposals. Editing the components of the proposals was made more practical when using the OART to compare and contrast the identified information from the articles. This study contributes to the facilitation of Master’s students towards being more systematically organized in their thinking when quoting important information from the articles. The use of the OART had also aided them be more confident and critical in writing their research proposals.
Growth, yield and water productivity of rice as influenced by seed priming under alternate wetting and drying irrigation

ABSTRACT Seed priming is a vital seed enhancement tool used for mitigating various biotic and abiotic stresses, improving seedling growth and enhancing crop productivity. Alternate wetting and drying (AWD), a water-saving technique, reduces irrigation water input in rice production without compromising yield. A factorial experiment consisting of seven priming treatments (non-primed control, hydropriming, Trichoderma, silicon dioxide, salicylic acid, potassium nitrate, abscisic acid) and three soil water potential levels maintained through AWD irrigation (0, –15, –30 kPa) was conducted to explore potential benefits of seed priming in mitigating water-deficit stress. Grain yield was not significantly different between 0 and –15 kPa regardless of priming treatments. However, it was reduced at –30 kPa under all treatments, except for Trichoderma. Seed priming with Trichoderma resulted in 52%, 68% and 77% higher grain yield and 52%, 70% and 66% higher water productivity at 0, –15 and –30 kPa, respectively, than the control. Rice can be safely grown with AWD irrigation level up to –15 kPa. However, seed priming with Trichoderma is recommended where frequent irrigation is difficult to practice and soil water potential drops below –15 kPa. Seed priming with potassium nitrate is also a promising option when soil water potential drops below –15 kPa.
Fenamate Cocrystals with 4,4′-Bipyridine: Structural and Thermodynamic Aspects

Cocrystallization of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug fenamates (N-phenylanthranilic acid (N-PA), niflumic acid0 (NFA), flufenamic acid (FFA), tolfenamic (TFA) and mefenamic acids (MFA)) with 4,4′-bipyridine (BP) has resulted in the formation of cocrystals with a 2:1 molar ratio. Crystal Packing Similarity analysis has revealed that the packing arrangement of the [N-PA+BP], [TFA+BP], and [MFA+BP] cocrystals consists of discrete fragments of the crystal structures of initial APIs connected to each other by BP molecules. In the case of [FFA+BP], the cocrystal contains a previously unseen packing arrangement of FFA molecules which may be a fragment of a new polymorphic FFA form. Differential scanning calorimetry studies show a good correlation between the cocrystal melting temperature and the melting points of the corresponding pure APIs. The enthalpies of cocrystal formation are small, which indicates that the packing energy gain only originates from weak van der Waals interactions between the API and BP.
Fight or Flight: How Advertising for Air Travel Triggers Moral Disengagement

ABSTRACT Advertising frequently promotes environmentally detrimental consumption choices such as air travel. To date, the effects of these ads on individuals’ moral evaluation of unsustainable behaviors are still little understood. This study with a quota-based sample in Germany (N = 199) explored whether individuals morally disengage from the harmfulness of flying due to ad exposure. Based on the theory of moral disengagement (Bandura, 2016, Moral disengagement: How people do harm and live with themselves. Worth Publishers), we investigated whether individuals neglect negative consequences, seek moral justification or displace responsibility for flying behaviors after seeing flight advertising. The results suggested that individuals low in climate change concern become more neglectful of the consequences of flying, while climate change concerned individuals exhibited the opposite reaction. Irrespective of individuals’ level of climate change concern, ad exposure increased recipients’ displacement of responsibility to other actors. Moreover, we found a correlation between mechanisms of moral disengagement and flying intentions as well as support for aviation policies.
Pesticide residues in organic food of plant origin in Poland in 2010 Badania pozostałości środków chemicznej ochrony roślin w płodach rolnych, roślinnych produktach spożywczych i paszach pochodzących z produkcji ekologicznej w roku 2010

Official testing was carried out in 2010 included the determination of 175 compounds (80 insecticides, 70 fungicides and 25 herbicides) in 247 samples. Validated analytical multiresidue methods were used, enabling to determine many compounds at the same time, in compliance with legally binding standards and tested during international proficiency tests (FAPAS – The Food Analysis Performance Assessment Scheme, EU – European Union). The following analytical techniques were used: GC/ECD/NPD, GC/MS/MS and spectrophotometry. The positive results were confirmed in compliance with European Commission regulations. In 22 samples (8.9%) pesticide residues were found. >From among 175 compounds tested, 10 were detected. Based on analyses carried out there were found 7 fungicide residues and 3 insecticide residues, mainly in samples of fruit growing (25.8%) and vegetable growing (8.7%). Monitoring carried out in the United States and some European countries in last few years also showed the possibilities of finding pesticide residues in organic food of plant origin.
A finite sample correction for the panel Durbin–Watson test

ABSTRACT This study shows that the panel Durbin–Watson test is incapable of distinguishing temporal heteroskedasticity and serial correlation with short time series. The study proposes a new finite sample correction for solving this weakness of the panel Durbin–Watson test. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the corrected statistic performs better in terms of size and power than the extant panel tests. It leads to more accurate inferences in empirical studies.
Extending the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to Explore Customer’s Behavioral Intention to Use Self-Service Technologies (SSTs) in Chinese Budget Hotels

a range of SSTs. to customers using SSTs in Chinese budget hotels. All the relationships among variables on these models were tested by using a Structural Equation Model (SEM). Findings: Results proved that all of the relationships on the original TAM do apply to customers using SSTs in Chinese budget hotels. However, the extended TAM does not fit into this particular market. Research limitations/implications: This study examined the TAM with perceived risk and perceived playfulness to determine the factors influencing customers’ behavioral intention to use SSTs in budget hotels. This approach is likely to ensure a stable theory development. Hence, the proposed model makes an important contribution to the emerging literature on SSTs. Moreover, this study originally hypothesized perceived risk affected on customers’ satisfaction and behavioral intention to use SSTs in Chinese budget hotels. But it is rejected. Originality/value: This study offers empirical evidence and makes contribution to future research related to further developing an understanding of the relationship between perceived risk and SSTs adoption.
HPLC Method for Determination of Th, U and Pu in Irradiated (Th,Pu)O2 using Mandelic Acid as an Eluent

Abstract Studies for chromatographic separation of Th, U(VI) and Pu(IV) were carried out using mandelic acid as an eluent. The different chromatographic conditions like concentration of mandelic acid, pH of the mobile phase, presence of MeOH and effect of ion interaction reagent (IIR) were studied. The method was optimized for the separation of Th, U(VI) and Pu(IV). At pH < 3.5 of mobile phase, Pu(IV) was more retained compared to U(VI) whereas at pH > 3.5, reverse trend was observed. The optimized parameters were employed for the separation and determination of Th, U(VI) and Pu(IV) in a dissolved solution of irradiated (Th, Pu)O2. Sample treatment was optimized to minimize loss of Pu and Th during chromatographic determination. Studies were carried out using two IIRs to understand the anomalous chromatographic behavior of Pu(IV). Retention behavior of different oxidation states of Pu viz. Pu(III), Pu(IV) and Pu(VI) was also studied in mandelic acid.
Exploring STEM Undergraduate Self-Regulated Learning at a Vietnamese Transnational University

STEM education in Vietnam is prioritized, yet effective learning may be difficult for students attending transnational universities. The purpose of this study is to examine the self-regulated learning experiences of STEM undergraduate students attending a collaborative transnational university in Vietnam. Challenges included English language instruction and STEM-specific terminology. Despite barriers to their learning, students describe strategies for navigating their learning process. Strategies included extensive rereading of the material, using Google to look up new terms/ideas or to translate words, asking instructors for translation, and reviewing online resources. Implications for practice include instructors providing more detailed feedback and guidance and leveraging technology use for learning.
Teachers’ Encounter of Online Learning: Challenges and Support System

The pandemic of COVID-19 situation has converted the teaching and learning process from face-to-face interaction in the classroom into virtual classroom environment. This condition caused challenges for many parties, including teachers as the main agent in the classroom. This study is intended to find out the teachers’ barriers and supports in conducting online learning. A descriptive qualitative method design through an open-ended questionnaire was chosen. Interview were also used to triangulate the data. Twenty-one teachers from sub-urban areas in Cimahi and Bandung were selected as the participants. The findings revealed three issues becoming teachers' challenges, namely, technology, course content, and students. In the first issue, the classic problem of online learning occurred, which was internet connectivity. The second problem was that the teachers had obstacles in making adjustments to design, deliver, and follow-up the material. Then the last issue was the students’ participation as well as technological access. Regarding the supports, the teachers had gained back up from the government, school, and parent in conducting online learning. Furthermore, this study recommended three optional solutions to help the teacher facing their barriers in virtual teaching, in terms of students’ participation in online learning, learning materials, and facilities in supporting the learning activities.
Immunoglobulin-G Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Predicts Neutralising Antibody Response in Convalescent SARS-CoV-2 Patients

Severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally since its emergence in 2019. Most SARS-CoV-2 infections generate immune responses leading to rising levels of immunoglobulins (Ig) M, A and G which can be detected using diagnostic tests including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Whilst implying previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, the detection of Ig by ELISA does not guarantee the presence of neutralising antibodies (NAb) that can prevent the virus infecting cells. Plaque reduction neutralisation tests (PRNT) detect NAb but are not amenable to mass testing as they take several days and require use of viable SARS-CoV-2 in high biocontainment laboratories. We evaluated the ability of IgG and IgM ELISAs targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike subunit 1 (S1) and nucleocapsid protein (NP) at predicting the presence and magnitude of NAb determined by PRNT. SARS-CoV-2 IgG ELISA correlated well with NAb and was highly sensitive (93.8% [95% CI 79.2–99.2]) and specific (88.9% [95% CI 51.8–99.7%]) at predicting the presence of NAb. There was not a strong correlation between IgM ELISA and PRNT result. IgG ELISA provides a useful, high throughput method of predicting the presence of neutralising antibodies, with higher ELISA results increasing the likelihood of having a greater NAb titre.
Analysis of Student Errors in Solving Analytic Geometry Questions During the Covid Pandemic 19

The Covid-19 pandemic has a very significant impact on the world of education in higher education. Online learning is applied as a solution for implementing the learning process. This study aimed to analyze and describe the mistakes made by students in solving analytic geometry problems. The analysis was conducted based on Newman's theory. This research is descriptive qualitative. The study was conducted at the Universitas PGRI Madiun. The research subjects were 63 students of semester IV, the Mathematics Education Program. Data analysis includes data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results of the research are the most mistakes made by students are comprehension errors (74.60%), transformation errors (20.63%), and encoding errors (3.17%). In this study, students did not make reading and processing errors. The mistakes made by students indicate the low understanding of students in analytic geometry online courses when Covid-19 pandemic. Transformation errors are caused by errors in understanding. The results of the study [10] show that students experience transformation errors in geometry due to poor understanding of the material.
The association of blood transfusion and acute kidney injury in diabetic coronary artery bypass grafting patients

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the association between blood transfusion and acute kidney injury (AKI) in diabetic coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients. Patients and methods: Between October 2016 and September 2019, a total of 270 elective CABG patients with diabetes (62 males, 208 females; mean age: 63.2±9.3 years; range, 40 to 86 years) were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to presence of cardiac surgery-related AKI. Risk factors were compared between the groups. Results: No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of baseline characteristics, except for body mass index, EuroSCORE II, and platelet count. The significant factors in the univariate analysis were included in the logistic regression. Only blood transfusion was found to be associated with AKI with red blood cell, fresh frozen plasma, platelet, and complete transfusions (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.002, and p<0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Our study results suggest that perioperative red blood cell, fresh frozen plasma, platelet, and complete transfusions are associated with postoperative AKI in diabetic CABG patients.
This is a repository copy of The Effects of Caring for Young Children with Developmental Disabilities on Mothers’ Health and Healthcare Use : Analysis of Primary Care Data in the Born in Bradford Cohort

We explored the association between caregiving for preschool children with developmental disabilities and maternal health and healthcare use using linked primary care and Born in Bradford birth cohort data. Adjusting for prenatal health, healthcare use and socioeconomic status, mothers who were caregivers were more likely than other mothers to have symptoms of psychological distress (odds ratio 1.24; 95% CI 1.01, 1.53), exhaustion (1.42; 1.12, 1.80) and possibly head and musculoskeletal pain (1.18; 0.97, 1.43). Despite the higher prevalence of symptoms, they did not access healthcare services more and may seek healthcare for psychological distress less often (0.64; 0.40, 1.02). In general, socioeconomic disadvantage was associated with worse health. Pakistani ethnicity (versus white British) and prenatal consultation were strongly associated with higher postnatal consultation rates. Prenatal ill health, healthcare use and socioeconomic status are important factors in the detection of postnatal ill health via primary care services. If caregiver burden and the risk of under-detecting (and thus under treating) caregiver ill health is not addressed during the preschool period health inequalities between caregivers and other mothers and their families may persist and grow. The health of mothers of young disabled children, in particular their unmet health needs, warrants attention in research and clinical practice.
Examination of prospective psychological counselors therapeutic alliance skills with their attachment styles and self-regulation skills

This study aimed to examine the relationship between the therapeutic alliance developed by prospective psychological counselors with clients in their psychological counseling practices and their attachment styles and self-regulation skills. The study used a correlational survey model and was carried out on 460 prospective psychological counselors. Data were collected using the Psychological Counseling Form of the Therapeutic Alliance Scale, the Interpersonal Attachment Styles Scale, and the Self-Regulation Dimension of the Emotional Literacy Scale. After the normality analyses, the data collected in the study were analyzed with hierarchical regression. It was found that the attachment styles involved in the regression model in the first stage to predict the therapeutic alliance skills of psychological counselors had a significant contribution to the model (R = 0.42, R2 = 0.21, p<0.01). It was found that avoidant attachment style predicted therapeutic alliance more strongly than other attachment styles but that this predictive effect was negative (β= -0.30, t = 7.50, p<0.01). The self-regulation skill involved in the model in the second stage of the regression analysis had a significant contribution to the model (R = 0.43, R2 = 0.22, p<0.01). In addition, it was found that self- regulation skills positively predicted therapeutic alliance (β = 0.17, t = 3.17, p<0.05). According to the results of the study, it was found that awareness studies about attachment styles and self-regulation in the education of prospective psychological counselors affected their therapeutic alliance skills. Key words: Therapeutic alliance, attachment styles, self-regulation, prospective psychological counselors, hierarchical regression.
Theoretical prediction and numerical analysis of axially crushed square tube with induced folding patterns

Abstract A type of tube with corrugated patterns, aiming at inducing extension deformation, was proposed in this paper. Fifteen patterned tubes and one conventional square tube were simulated using the finite element model which was validated by an axial quasi-static compression experiment. The numerical results show that four deformation modes generated, which are closely related to the patterns number and the pattern angle. Tubes deform in D mode has the highest energy absorption. The influence of geometric parameters and wall thickness on energy absorption performance was also investigated. A geometric optimization was carried out as well. Deformation mechanism of two of the four modes, EF mode and E mode, were established and theoretical predictions of mean force were derived. The energy absorptions of different deformation forms were analyzed, and the results show that half of the energy is dissipated by extension deformation in E mode but little in EF mode.
DIFFERENCES IN POSTPARTUM MATERNAL DEPRESSION LEVELS BASED ON CHARACTERISTICS OF MATERNAL AGE AND HUSBAND SUPPORT

The International Statistical Classification of Disease (ICD-10) defines postpartum depression as a mental and behavioral disorder that occurs after six-week labor. The number of postpartum blues in Asia is high and varies between 26-85%. In Indonesia, especially Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya, the prevalence of postpartum depression is 11-20%. In Surabaya, 22% mothers had postnatal depression in 2003. The occurrence of postpartum depression is influenced by several factors namely biological and characteristic. This study aimed to analyze differences in postpartum maternal depression levels based on characteristics of maternal age and husband support. This study used quantitative with cross sectional study design. The population of this study was 209 mothers with postpartum depression in the timeframe of 6 weeks to 1 year. The sample size was 70 samples selected through simple random sampling. The retrieval of data was through surveys and questionnaires. The results of the study showed most respondents aged 26-30 years had high husband support and were not at risk of depression. There was a significant difference between postpartum maternal depression levels based on maternal age (p = 0.014) as well as on husband support (p = 0.000). Based on the results, researchers suggest to establish continuous husband support, conduct early detection, and educate mothers.

Multi-attribute strict two-sided matching methods with interval-valued preference ordinal information

ABSTRACT In the study of two-sided matching decision problems, preference ordinal information is a key factor. However, in real life, it is often difficult to ascertain complete preference ordinal information, and in most cases we can only obtain an interval-valued preference ordinal information. In this paper, a strict two-sided matching based on multi-attribute interval-valued preference ordinal information is discussed. As a generalised decision model, the strict two-sided matching adequately considers the requirement of satisfaction degree of two-sided agents. Firstly, the ranking method of probability degree is introduced to deal with the information of various interval numbers. Then, in the case of multiple attributes, we propose two methods for strict two-sided matching problem. The one is to aggregate multi-attribute satisfaction degree and then construct the decision model. The another is to separately deal with the interval-valued preference ordinal information of each attribute and then design the corresponding model. Finally, in the context of Internet finance, we adopt an example of the venture capital two-sided matching problem to illustrate our proposed methods and confirm the effectiveness.
