Content analysis of critical-rand creative-thinking skills in middle-school science books on environmental pollution material

Critical- and creative-thinking skills are important competencies students must have to encounter the challenges of the 21st century. The development of teaching materials that emphasize critical- and creative-thinking skills is very necessary for students to improve these skills. This research aims to analyze three middle school science books based on critical- and creative-thinking skills on environmental pollution material. The research procedure consisted of developing an instrument for assessing critical-0and creative-thinking skills, validating the indicators of the instruments using expert judgment, and conducting an assessment of middle school science book. The development of critical-thinking skill indicators refers to Facione while the indicators-of creatives thinking skills refer to Torrance. The results of the analyses show-that the average critical-thinking skill indicator achievement for the environmental pollution material on interpretation is 2.83%, analysis 2.75%, conclusion 3.16%, evaluation 2.83%, explanation 2.91%, and self-regulation 2.33%. The achievement of creative-thinking skill indicators on average is 2.66% for fluency, 2.66% for flexibility, 2.41% for originality, and 2.75% for elaboration. Students have low critical- and creative-thinking skills on the air pollution and pollution sub-materials.
Off-flavor Production of Cihateup Duck Meat at Different Slaughter Ages

This study aims to evaluate the age of off-odor detection to ensure more efficient and economical provision of antioxidants in the production of Cihateup ducks. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 different treatments of slaughter age, i.e. 4, 8 and 12 week. Each treatment consisted of 6 replications and each replication consisted of 13 ducks. The results showed that the percentage of fat content at the age of 12 weeks was higher than the age of 4 and 8 week. High fat-containing meat tends to undergo fat oxidation. High levels of Fe at 12 week of slaughter age cause high levels of myoglobin in duck meat. Fe 2+ is a catalyst in the process of fat oxidation. the brightness value (L) is inversely proportional to the value a of Cihateup duck meat. The darker brightness of the meat causes the flesh to be redder due to myoglobin level in duck meat. The percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids (ALTJG) is 4- and 12-week slaughter age lower than 8 week of age. The high levels of MDA at 12 week of slaughter age are due to fat oxidation which causes off-odor. Based on the result, the conclusion is that the high fat content, Fe content, color of Cihateup duck meat at 12 weeks of slaughter age caused the percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids (ALTJG) to be low due to fat oxidation. Fat oxidation caused high levels of MDA in duck meat (12 weeks of slaughter age) resulting in Off-odors in Cihateup duck meat.
Identification of Active Magnetic Reconnection Using Magnetic Flux Transport in Plasma Turbulence

Magnetic reconnection has been suggested to play an important role in the dynamics and energetics of plasma turbulence by spacecraft observations, simulations, and theory over the past two decades, and recently, by magnetosheath observations of MMS. A new method based on magnetic flux transport (MFT) has been developed to identify reconnection activity in turbulent plasmas. This method is applied to a gyrokinetic simulation of two-dimensional (2D) plasma turbulence. Results on the identification of three active reconnection X-points are reported. The first two X-points have developed bidirectional electron outflow jets. Beyond the category of electron-only reconnection, the third X-point does not have bidirectional electron outflow jets because the flow is modified by turbulence. In all cases, this method successfully identifies active reconnection through clear inward and outward flux transport around the X-points. This transport pattern defines reconnection and produces a new quadrupolar structure in the divergence of MFT. This method is expected to be applicable to spacecraft missions such as MMS, Parker Solar Probe, and Solar Orbiter.
Lifestyle Modification Practice and Associated Factors among Diagnosed Hypertensive Patients in Selected Hospitals in West Arsi Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia

Background: Globally 1.13 billion peoples were living with hypertension, Out of this two-thirds of them were living in low and middle-income countries. In Ethiopia, Non Communicable Disease deaths are estimated at around 42%. However, it remain widely undetected and poorly controlled. To resolve these, lifestyle modification approach that often overlooked are corner stone of the prevention and management of hypertension.Objective: To assess lifestyle modification practice and associated factors among hypertensive patients in selected hospitals in West Arsi Zone, Oromia Regional, Ethiopia December 7 to 21, 2019.Method: Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the selected public hospital among 299 hypertensive patients. Systemic random sampling method were used to select the study participants. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire by trained data collectors. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression method to identify predictors of the outcome (p<0.05). Results: Of the total participants, only 25.2% (95% CI: 18.8-32.9) of the patients were practice recommended lifestyle modifications. Patients Age older than 65 years (AOR=2.9, 95% CI: 1.17-7.0), the patients with 2-5 years’ time since diagnoses hypertension (AOR=0.26, 95%CI: 0.07-0.9), multiple co-morbidity (AOR=2.7, 95% CI: 1.25-5.8) and their knowledge on hypertension management (AOR=14.6, 95% CI: 4.6-45.9) have an independently associated with recommended lifestyle modification.Conclusion: Lifestyle modification practices among hypertensive patients were low in this study. Age, comorbidity, time since diagnoses of hypertension and knowledge of lifestyle were identified as predictors of the outcome.
Environmental Performance Index to Assess the Situation in Regions of Ukraine in Terms of their Competitiveness

: Purpose: The objective of the study is the application of the environmental performance index (EPI) to the regional evaluation of the environmental situation of the Ukraine’s territorial units, in the context of their competitiveness. Methodology: The study based on indicators of environmental performance of economic growth, environmental sustainability and environmental health impact allowed to divide Ukraine into 9 sectors according to the index of ecological and economic efficiency, ecological price of economic growth, environmental friendliness, and environmental health index. Findings: The Zaporizhzhia region is in a relatively better competitive position, considering all considered index indicators, whereas Dnipropetrovs'k and Donets'k regions are characterized by a significant lag due to air emissions and high-water consumption. The conducted research allowed to conclude that ecological safety determines the need for changing the current model of development towards sustainable development, which, apart from evident environmental benefits, improves the regional competitiveness level. Practical Implications: It was concluded that environmental costs play a decisive role in ensuring the appropriate level of environmental sustainability. There is also a need for improvement in environmental legislation, especially in harmonization and integration of different regulations and ensuring funds for carrying out the planned measures. Originality/Value: The regions of Ukraine vary considering the sustainable development level and therefore it is vital to consider them separately in terms of the EPI and competitiveness.
Q-switched, high average output power Tm3+:Ho3+-codoped triple-clad fiber laser for nonlinear frequency conversion

We report on current advances in polarization-maintaining (PM) Thulium (Tm3+):Holmium (Ho3+)-codoped triple-clad fiber (THTF) laser. First fundamental studies were performed in a continuous-wave (CW) regime. A fiber laser with a 7 m active fiber delivered high output powers of up to 180 W for an emission wavelength centered at ~2050 nm. In addition, a setup with a 5 m active fiber was investigated with a slope efficiency of 41.6 % and a close to diffraction limited beam propagation with an M2 x,y < 1:1. Operating in Q-switched regime at a repetition rate of 63 kHz, the pulses of the THTF laser had a pulse width of 45.6 ns and a pulse energy of 760 μJ, resulting in a peak power of 15.7 kW with an average output power of 48 W. With an M2 x,y < 1:2 and a FWHM of 290 pm for the emission spectrum (compared to 54 pm in CW) the fiber laser shows a good basis for efficient frequency conversion.
Mirror therapy in adult stroke patients: a review of possible applications and effectiveness with an emphasis on activities of daily living

Aim: To present the current knowledge about possible applications, effectiveness, and other aspects of mirror therapy in adult stroke clients, with an emphasis on the performance of Activities of Daily Living (ADL), or on supporting independence and self-care, including limitations. Design: A descriptive mapping study. Methods: A systematic literature search and an interpretative content analysis (according to predetermined criteria) of 34 identified relevant studies (2000–2017) and conceptualization of findings in relation to ADL performance / limitation among adult stroke clients. Results: Mirror Therapy (MT) is a simple and undemanding approach which improves the function of extremities with respect to performance of ADL. However, due to smaller research samples, it is impossible to clearly confirm its effectiveness and extrapolate the conclusions. MT is also used to complement other therapeutic approaches, or various approaches can be combined with it (e.g., micro-sensory electrical stimulation or observation imitation). Assessment of ADL was primarily performed with the Barthel Index, Modified Barthel Index, and Functional Independence Measures, Functional Ambulation Categories, and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure tests. Conclusion: It seems desirable to apply task-oriented MT – an approach that includes functional tasks to prevent clients from becoming bored during therapy. The performance of MT tasks need not always be supervised by a physiotherapist. Good cooperation between nurses from clinical practice and physiotherapy is desirable. In order to be able to widen the conclusions and clearly confirm the effectiveness of MT in the context of ADL, other randomized controlled (pilot) studies are desirable.
Quantification of training and match-play load across a season in professional youth football players

The purpose of this study was to quantify load across an entire season for professional youth football players and assess the effects of stage of season, playing position and training day relative to match day (MD). Data from ratings of perceived exertion and seven global positioning system (GPS) derived measures of external training load were collected from 20 players across a 47-week season. Mixed linear models were used to assess the effects of stage of season, training proximity to match day (e.g. MD-1, MD-2) and position across each dependent variable. Training proximity to match day was found to have the most substantive effect with effect sizes ranging from small ( η G 2 = 0.08 ) to large ( η G 2 = 0.29 ) . Across training load measures, mean values collected on match day were on average 47% higher than all other sessions. Whilst significant regression coefficients were obtained for playing position (p ≤ 0.003) and stage of season (p ≤ 0.049), effect sizes were close to zero ( η G 2 < 0.01 ) in each instance. This study provides insight into the season-long training and match-play demands of a professional youth football team. It highlights the significant impact of match-play on load and supports the use of multiple methods of collecting training load data. Overall, there was limited variation in mean values of dependent variables across playing position, stage of the season and loading during midweek training. These findings highlight the need for future research to investigate whether greater systematic variations in training load can be used to increase physical fitness and maximise physical performance during competition.
A New Frontier: The Development and Validation of the Intimate Partner Cyber Abuse Instrument

As technology advances, new opportunities for partners to gain power and control in their romantic relationships are readily available. New cyber-based behaviors have slowly garnered scholarly attention, but measurement-related issues have not. We take the logical next steps to (1) develop and validate a comprehensive measure of intimate partner cyber abuse (IPCA) for adults using classical test theory and item response theory and (2) estimate IPCA prevalence rate for a range of relationship types. A sample of 1,500 adults, currently in an intimate partner relationship, 18 years or older, and living in the United States, completed an online questionnaire about their IPCA experiences within the 6 months prior. Two parameter logistic modeling and confirmatory factor analyses revealed a five-dimensional structure: cyber direct aggression, cyber sexual coercion, cyber financial control, cyber control, and cyber monitoring, with 14.85% of the sample experiencing at least one dimension. These IPCA dimensions were examined for differential functioning across gender identity, race, student status, and relationship type. Collectively, the findings have implications for IPCA measurement and related research, including theoretically derived hypotheses whose findings can inform prevention.
Does Options Trading Affect Managerial Incentives in Corporate Social Responsibility Investment?

We posit that active options trading provides managerial incentives to invest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) because managers can better hedge the downside risks of long-term and uncertain CSR investment. Our results show that firms with more options trading have better CSR performance. We also find stronger results for firms with more product market competition, larger takeover risks, shorter CEO career horizon, and higher reputation and goodwill. We use a quasi-natural experiment that reduces options trading costs for treated firms to address endogeneity concerns. A subsample analysis of insider hedging transactions corroborates our main findings. Overall, we provide the first evidence that active derivative markets have real effects on firms’ CSR performance.
The Influence of Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialization (RIS3) on University-Industry Collaboration

This study aims to understand better research and innovation strategies for smart specialization (RIS3) and assess how they influence university-industry (U-I) collaboration empirically. Primary data were collected from a focus group consisting of representatives of universities and government entities from Portugal and Spain. Secondary European Union (EU) data on the application of smart specialization measures and the innovation in these two countries were also included. The results reveal difficulties in implementing RIS3, resulting in decreased investment in research and innovation in all production sectors. Evidence also pointed to the negative impact of smart specialization measures on U-I collaboration and, consequently, on the respective knowledge transfer.

Statistical assessment of ELM triggering by pellets on JET

This article investigates the triggering of ELMs on JET by injection of frozen pellets of isotopes of Hydrogen. A method is established to determine the probability that a specific pellet triggers a particular ELM. This method allows clear distinction between pellet-ELM pairs that are very likely to represent triggering events and pairs that are very unlikely to represent such an event. Based on this, the pellet parameters that are most likely to affect the ability of pellets to trigger ELMs have been investigated. It has been found that the injection location is very important, with injection from the vertical high field side showing a much higher triggering efficiency than low field side (LFS) injection. The dependence on parameters such as pellet speed and size and the time since the last ELM is also seen to be much stronger for LFS injection. Finally, the paper illustrates how improvements to the pellet injection system by streamlining the pellet flight lines and slightly increasing the pellet size has resulted in a significantly improved ability to deliver pellets to the plasma and trigger ELMs.
Survival Outcomes of Lobectomy in Comparison With Segmentectomy in Clinical Stage I Non-small-cell Lung Cancer: a Meta-analysis

Background: The gold standard surgical therapy for patients with clinical stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection. While, segmentectomy has emerged as an alternative choice with the advantage of fewer postoperative complications. However, the acceptance of this procedure still remains controversial, and conflicting results exist in the retrospective trials.Objectives: The aim of this meta-analysis was to analysis the survival outcomes of lobectomy in comparison with segmentectomy in treatment of clinical stage I non-small-cell lung cancer. Methods: Computerized literature search was done on the published trials in Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library databases to June, 2019 to identify clinical trials. Lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) and overall survival (OS) were measured as outcomes. Statistical analysis was performed using the Meta-analysis Revman 5.3 software.Results: A systematic literature search was conducted including 7 studies. In this meta-analysis, results indicate that lobectomy confers an equivalent survival outcome compared with segmentectomy. Conclusion: No significant differences were found in survival outcomes between lobectomy and segmentectomy. Further prospective large-scale, prospective, randomized trials are needed to explore the reasonable surgical treatment for early resectable lung cancer.
How do museums foster loyalty in tech-savvy visitors? The role of social media and digital experience

ABSTRACT The recent debate about the digitalization of museums and new technologies has become increasingly important among tourism scholars. Digital innovation and virtual environments, such as social media platforms, might significantly foster the competitive advantage of museums and their ability to attract new visitors. Particularly in times of crisis, prospective tourists appreciate the addition of a ‘digital flavor’ to exhibitions and art galleries. Improved experiences, increased loyalty, and overall higher satisfaction result from the introduction of Internet Communication Technologies (ICTs) in museums. Building on experiential marketing and the extended technology acceptance model (TAM2), a conceptual model has been created to better explore the underlying mechanisms between tourists’ digital propensity – their positive attitudes towards digital innovation and new technologies – and their degree of economic support to museums. The model was empirically validated through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and tested using covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) on a sample collected in 2020 consisting of 201 Italian museum visitors. Results showed that loyalty and identification derived from digital experiences and social media activities cause tech-savvy visitors to be more willing to economically support digital museums.
Stability and residual stresses of sputtered wurtzite AlScN thin films

Scandium-alloying of aluminum nitride (AlScN) enhances the piezoelectric properties of the material and increases the performance of piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). However, this enhancement is caused by the destabilization of the wurtzite phase and so far the stability of AlScN thin films has not been sufficiently studied. Stability is especially important for piezoelectric devices because changes to the film microstructure or residual stress can lead to drastic changes in the device behavior. The stability of AlScN is investigated by annealing sputtered films and characterizing the resulting changes. It is found that the wurtzite phase of ${\mathrm{Al}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Sc}}_{0.3}\mathrm{N}$ is stable at least up to $1000{\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}\mathrm{C}$ and annealing increases the crystal quality, reaching a maximum at $800{\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}\mathrm{C}$. When annealed for more than 100 h at $1000{\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}\mathrm{C}$, argon used in sputtering segregates into the grain boundaries and causes compressive strains and formation of rock-salt phase. Additionally, annealing at $1000{\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}\mathrm{C}$ for 5 h reduces the average tensile stress by approximately 1 GPa.
