Employability and Inclusion of Non-traditional University Students: Limitations and Challenges

In recent decades employability has become more visible and is part of the agenda of European universities, leading to a closer link between higher education and the labour market. In this context, the objectives of this study are: to analyse the approach to employability developed by the university; to find out the influence of employability policies on non-traditional students; and the alignment of the development of employability with the democratic mission of the university. Qualitative research has been carried out at one public university in Southern Spain, based on 40 in-depth interviews, undertaken with non-traditional students and graduates, employers, and university staff. The main results obtained are: the employability approach is based on the acquisition of key skills, in the framework of neoliberal policies; the opportunities offered to students to improve their employability are unevenly distributed and, therefore, scarcely available to underrepresented students; and the market-oriented concept of employability damages non-traditional students. The development of the democratic and inclusive role to be developed by the universities requires challenging the policies and practices on employability, that are based on neoliberal perspectives. This involves the visibility of the power relations at stake as well as the promotion of critical and reflective pedagogies, with the aim of questioning and reducing the inequalities faced by non-traditional students.
Changes in signal transmission speed in coaxial cables through regulating the foam structure of the polyethylene dielectric section

Polyolefins have been widely used in the electrical insulation and cable industry in recent years. One of the main usages of these materials is dielectric insulation in coaxial cables. Low attenuation and high signal transmission speed are among the desired features in coaxial cables. The role of polyethylene foam on signal transmission speed in the coaxial cables is the main focus of this study. In the present study, the velocity factor of coaxial samples with different dielectric structures is investigated in both theoretical and experimental approaches. In theoretical formulation, only the void fraction of foam is taken into consideration and other foam properties such as cell density, cell size, and foam structure are neglected. This is the reason for the difference observed between theoretical and experimental results. In theoretical results, a linear increase in the velocity factor is witnessed with the increase of the void fraction while in experimental results there are some exceptions. The foaming degree of the samples was reached 63% causing a 37.7% decrease in theoretical relative permittivity and consequently a 26.8% increase in theoretical velocity factor. On the other hand, up to 36% increase is observed in the experimentally measured velocity factor of foamed dielectric samples compared to the samples with solid polyethylene dielectric.
Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning without Interference

While deep reinforcement learning systems have demonstrated impressive results in domains ranging from game playing and robotic control, sample efﬁciency remains a major challenge, particularly as these algorithms learn individual tasks from scratch. Multi-task and goal-conditioned reinforcement learning have emerged as promising approaches for sharing structure across multiple tasks to enable more efﬁcient learning. However, challenges in optimization have hamstrung such methods from realizing efﬁciency gains compared to learning tasks independently from scratch. Motivated by these challenges, we develop a general approach that can change the multi-task optimization landscape to alleviate conﬂicting gradients across tasks. In particular, we introduce two instantiations of this approach, one architectural and one algorithmic, that prevent gradients for different tasks from interfering with one another. On two challenging multi-task RL problems, we ﬁnd that our approaches leads to greater ﬁnal performance and learning efﬁciency in comparison to prior approaches.
Comparison between isobaric levobupivacaine 0.5% and hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% in spinal anesthesia in lower limb surgeries and lower abdominal surgeries in adult patients

Background: The aim of our study was to compare sensory and motor block characteristics and hemodynamic changes following intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine (0.5%) and isobaric levobupivacaine (0.5%) in elective lower limb and lower abdominal surgeries. Methods: 60 patients of either sex, aged 18-60 years, ASA grade I or II scheduled for elective lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries were randomized into two groups, group B (n=30) and group L (n=30) and received either 3 ml of intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine or isobaric levobupivacaine intrathecally. Results: The mean time of onset of sensory block at shin of tibia in both the groups was comparable i.e. levobupivacaine (1.19±0.2 minutes) and bupivacaine (1.1+0.2 minutes). The mean time for total duration of sensory block was 211.1±8.2 minutes in group L, while 193.13±13.7 minutes in group B. Time for total duration of motor block in group L was 198.76±8.428 minutes and in group B was 182.6±13.989 minutes. Statistically significant difference was observed in total duration of sensory and motor block in both levobupivaciane and bupivacaine group (p<0.0001). Patients in group L were hemodynamically more stable with significantly less decrease in pulse rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure as compared to group B. Conclusions: We observed that 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine provided better hemodynamic stability, longer duration of sensory and motor block as compared to bupivacaine.

GemBag: Group Estimation of Multiple Bayesian Graphical Models

In this paper, we propose a novel hierarchical Bayesian model and an eﬃcient estimation method for the problem of joint estimation of multiple graphical models, which have similar but diﬀerent sparsity structures and signal strength. Our proposed hierarchical Bayesian model is well suited for sharing of sparsity structures, and our procedure, called as GemBag, is shown to enjoy optimal theoretical properties in terms of (cid:96) 8 norm estimation accuracy and correct recovery of the graphical structure even when some of the signals are weak. Although optimization of the posterior distribution required for obtaining our proposed estimator is a non-convex optimization problem, we show that it turns out to be convex in a large constrained space facilitating the use of computationally eﬃcient algorithms. Through extensive simulation studies and an application to a bike sharing data set, we demonstrate that the proposed GemBag procedure has strong empirical performance in comparison with alternative methods.

Mutations of, methylcytosine dioxygenase TET2, polycomb group protein ASXL1 and histone‐lysine N‐methyltransferase EZH2 genes have accounted for certain subsets of triple nega‐

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are clonal disorders characterized by the increased proliferation of hematopoietic stem cell precursors and mature blood cells. Mutations of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), Calreticulin (CALR) and MPL (myeloproliferative leukemia virus) are key driver muta‐ tions in MPN. However, the molecular profile of triple negative MPN has been a subject of ambiguity over the past few years. Mutations of, methylcytosine dioxygenase TET2, polycomb group protein ASXL1 and histone‐lysine N‐methyltransferase EZH2 genes have accounted for certain subsets of triple nega‐ tive MPNs but the driving cause for majority of cases is still unexplored. The present study performed a microarray‐based transcriptomic profile analysis of bone marrow‐derived CD34(+) cells from seven MPN samples. A total of 21,448 gene signatures were obtained, which were further filtered into 472 upregulated and 202 downregulated genes. Gene ontology and protein‐protein interaction (PPI) network analysis highlighted an upregulation of genes involved in cell cycle and chromatin modification in JAK2V617F negative vs. positive MPN samples. Out of the upregulated genes, seven were associated with the hematopoietic stem cell signature, while forty‐seven were associated with the embryonic stem cell signature. The majority of the genes identified were under the control of NANOG and E2F4 transcription factors. The PPI network indicated a strong interaction between chro‐ matin modifiers and cell cycle genes, such as histone‐lysine N‐methyltransferase SUV39H1, SWI/SNF complex subunit SMARCC2, SMARCE2, chromatin remodeling complex subunit SS18, tubulin β (TUBB) and cyclin dependent kinase CDK1. Among the upregulated epigenetic markers, there was a ~10‐fold increase in MYB expression in JAK2V617F nega‐ tive samples. A significant increase in total CD34 counts in JAK2V617F negative vs. positive samples (P<0.05) was also observed. Overall, the present data showed a distinct pattern of expression in JAK2V617F negative vs. positive samples with upregulated genes involved in epigenetic modification.

Correção da umidade de vagens de genótipos de feijão-caupi para estimativa de produtividade

Moisture correction of fresh pods of cowpea genotypes has been used to correct weight differences of pods from the same harvest. Correction is made by the method of soaking pods and grains in water. This study verifies the need for moisture correction of fresh pods to estimate the yield of cowpea genotypes for production of green grains. Sixteen genotypes were evaluated for pod mass, grain mass, hundred grains mass, grain index, pod yield, and grain yield in two municipalities, Pentecoste and Marco, Ceará State, Brazil. For moisture correction, a sample of ten fresh pods was collected, weighed, and soaked in water. Samples were weighed until constant weight for wet mass. Subsequently, samples were dried in a forced air circulation oven and dry mass was obtained. Finally, a correlation study between the obtained data was performed. Correlation estimates were positive from low to medium magnitude. Correlations of greater magnitude were observed between fresh and dry masses. The original data showed greater representativeness of dry mass, indicating greater experimental precision. Therefore, moisture correction of fresh cowpea grains and pods proved to be unnecessary.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of cutting ages and height on the nutrient composition and yield of brown hemp (BH) in concentrate diets on Brahman×Thai-Native cattle performances. The first experiment was to determine the effects of cutting ages (30, 40 and 50 days) and height (30, 40 and 50 cm) on the nutrient composition and yield of BH. The experiment was a 3×3 factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design. This study clearly showed that cutting ages at 50 days had a greater effect on the nutrient composition and yield than at 30 and 40 days, but the cutting heights did not reveal any significant differences in yield. However, the BH cutting for animal feed before plowing, besides improving the soil for green manure, also benefited feed resources. The second experiment was to study the effects of BH meal (BHM) in concentrate on Brahman×Thai-Native cattle performances. Twelve cattle, averaging 252 ± 18 kg body weight and at ages of 16-18 months were stratified randomly and assigned to one of the three feeding treatments. Cattle were fed BHM in different ratios: the treatments were 0, 10, and 20% of BHM, respectively. There were no significant differences in the dry matter intake among the treatments of 0, 10 and 20% of BHM in concentrate rations. For average daily gain, the minimum response observed was a significant difference at the highest level of 20% of BHM. Therefore, 10% of BHM can be used in the concentrate rations for beef cattle.
High-resolution silicon-29 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic study of rock-forming silicates.

High-resolution silicon-29 NMR spectroscopic studies of a wide range of natural and synthetic silicates indicate (1) considerable overlap among the ranges of isotropic chemical shifts for crystals of different polymer types. This expands upon the work of Lippmaa et al. (1980), who found well-separated ranges: (2) a wide range of chemical shift anisotropies (CSA) and asymmetry parameters (n) that are related to symmetry and structure; (3) a relatively poor correlation between isotropic chemical shift and average Si-O bond length; (4) a better correlation between isotropic chemical shift and total cation-oxygen bond strength for the four oxygens of each silicon tetrahedron: and (5) discrepancies between the NMR results and crystal structure refinements for kyanite and wollastonite. The results indicate that both the Si-O bond length-chemical shift and bond strength-chemical shift relationships are useful tools for investigating the structures of crystalline silicates and, perhaps more importantly, silicate glasses, clays, and zeolites that cannot be examined by single crystal X-ray or neutron diffraction methods. --Modified journal abstract.
Effects of Stunting on Child Development: A Meta-Analysis

Background: Stunting is a condition where children under five have a low height for their age. Stunted children under five have a nutritional deficiency (malnutrition), thus affecting the maturity of nerve cells. In addition, they are susceptible to developmental delays such as slow motor movements, lack of intelligence, and slow social response. This study aimed to analyze the effect of stunting on child development based on the results of previous studies. Subjects and Method: This study was a systematic review and a meta-analysis. The articles were searched systematically and comprehensively through several databases including Pubmed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar published from 2010 to 2020. It aimed to ensure the relevance of current findings in the health context and the possibilities for what would happen ahead. Eligibility criteria were used to select studies included in a systematic review/a metaanalysis. The researcher provided eligibility criteria using the PICO model. The population of this study was children. The intervention was stunting. The comparison was non-stunting. The outcome was child development. The article search was carried out for 2 weeks. The keywords were "Association between stunting and delayed development regression", "the effect of stunting on development", "the relationship of stunting to development", "stunting and development", "stunted and development". The articles were collected using PRISMA flow diagrams. The data were analyzed using Review Manager (RevMan) 5 software. Results: This study reviewed 5 articles. The results showed that stunting increased the risk of abnormal development in children (aOR=3.71; 95%CI=2.35 to 5.86; p=0.760). Conclusion: Stunting increases the risk of abnormal development in children. Keywords: stunting, development, child development Correspondence: Milatur Rosyidah.

Effect of Various Ph Media on Some Optical Properties and Surface Roughness of Bilayered Reinforced Polymer and Monolithic Hybrid Ceramic (An In-Vitro Study)

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different pH media on color stability, translucency and surface roughness on Hybrid ceramic material (Vita Enamic) and bilayered reinforced polymer (PEEK). Materials and methods: A total of 60 discs, 30 in each group that were designed with milled with CAD/CAM, each group was further subdivided into 3 subgroups (10 samples in each group) according to the immersing solution. (neutral, weak acid and strong acid), all samples were aged in the immersion solutions for 24 days in an incubator at 37o which simulate 2 years of clinical service. Optical profilometer was used to assess surface roughness, a spectrophotometer was used to assess color change and translucency was calculated with the tranclucency parameter equation. Results: The results showed that no statistical significant difference in surface roughness, color stability and translucency with Vita Enamic in different solutions, and statistical significant difference with PEEK group in different solutions. Conclusion: Vita Enamic has higher color stability and translucency than PEEK and can maintain smoother surface with different pH media.
FACTORS CONSTRAINING LEADERSHIP CAPACITY IN RESOLVING CONFLICTS AT THE ZANZIBAR STATE TRADING CORPORATION (ZSTC)

Despite the critical role of leadership in conflicts management in public organizations, alongside with the various initiatives undertaken to enhance this role, ineffective conflicts management continues to be a big challenge in public organisations and at the Zanzibar State Trading Corporation (ZSTC) in particular. Consequently, this study looks into the factors constraining leadership role in managing conflicts and recommends strategies for improving leadersâ€™ capacity to conflicts management at ZSTC. Qualitative approach was adopted and data were drawn from a purposive sample of 65 respondents through in-depth interviews, documentary review, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and non-participant observation. Findings confirmed that constraints to leadership in managing conflicts were in four categories; notably lack of effective communication, ineffective leadership and management practices, inequitable distribution of resources, and nonexistence of conflicts management institutions. To ensure effective leadersâ€™ role in managing conflicts, leaders need to have sound plans, adequate budget, engage in financial resources mobilisation and ensure recruitment of staff with relevant skills, as well as build capacities of the existing staff on communication and conflicts management skills. The organization should devise effective policies to smoothen conflict management
Effects of Different Protein Level Feeds on the Fingerlings Production of Riverine Endangered Notopterus Chitala (Hamilton, 1882) in Ponds

This study was aimed to evaluate the efficiency of three protein level feeds on the fingerlings production of riverine endangered Notopteruschitala (Hamilton, 1882) for a period of two months in ponds. Chital fry (Initial wt, 5.6±0.19 g) were randomly stocked at the rate of 7410 per hector. Feeding trials were conducted under 3 treatments (T1: feed contains 35% protein, T2: feed contains 30% protein, T3: feed contains 25 % protein) each with 3 replications. No significant (P<0.05) difference was observed for all the water quality parameters among the treatments. A suitable range of water quality parameters (temperature, water transparency (cm)), dissolved oxygen (mg/l), pH, alkalinity (mg/l), ammonia) were recorded with the environment of experimental ponds. The treatment had significant effects on weight gain, ADG, SGR among treatments. Highest weight gain (19.31 ± 0.23 g) was observed in T1, lowest (13.96 ± 0.15 g) in T3. SGR (1.65±0.02) and ADG (0.18±0.005) were significantly (P<0.05) highest in T1 followed by T2 and T3. The N chitala exhibited highest survival rate (96.66%) in T1 than T2 followed by T3 (88.89 %). The best FCR value (3.02±0.09) was recorded in treatment T1 with 35% protein contain feed. Relatively, highest benefits (138690±175.36 BDT/ha) were found from treatment T1 compared to other treatments. Similarly, the cost benefit ratio was highest in T1 (1:1.23) and lowest in T3 (0.95). Findings indicated that treatment T1 (35% protein containing feed) was found best in terms of growth, production and economics of N. chital for fingerling production in ponds. Res. Agric. , Livest.
