The DiStoMusInq framework : digital storytelling for students' inquiry-based museum learning

Digital storytelling gains momentum in museum practice, being increasingly applied to enrich the programs for schools. In this thesis I probe into how the digital storytelling process could frame students’ explorations of museum content in the context of inquiry-based school museum trips. The DiStoMusInq framework was developed to articulate the three-staged mapping between the inquiry-based learning process and the process of crafting a digital story. The methodology was exploratory, having a series of three trials designed with previsit, on-visit and post-visit activities that involved 70 middle school and high school students of an international school in Thessaloniki, Greece. The objective was to examine three different ways in which digital stories could be the objective and outcome of student group museum inquiries. Students conducted museum investigations structured around personally set questions using their own smartphones, tablets and laptops, and produced a digital story to present their findings. The research revealed that there is a synergy between the two processes, and increased self-reported confidence in student research skills, but the interplay is not linear; it is dialectic, with each stage feeding into the others and with inquiry and digital storytelling driving each other. The findings fed into a refined version of the DiStoMusInq framework and the identification of benefits of its integration with school museum trip planning. This study furthers our understanding of inquiry-based museum learning embedded in school curricula because it shows us how and why to use digital stories as outputs of self-initiated and self-directed inquiries. The thesis concludes with proposing directions for further research to broaden the scope of this inquiry beyond school trips towards web-based museum visits. The research reported here thus paves the way for newly envisioned applications of digital stories in the twenty-first century museum.
BOMBIERI–VINOGRADOV THEOREMS FOR MODULAR FORMS AND APPLICATIONS

In this article, we consider a prime number theorem for arithmetic progressions “weighted” by Fourier coefficients of modular forms, and we develop Siegel-Walfisz type and Bombieri–Vinogradov type estimates for such a modular analogue. As an application, we have a Turán type estimate for modular forms asserting that for any δ > 0 and non-CM normalised Hecke eigenform f , P f (a, q) q2+δ, with a possible exceptional set of q of density 0 (depending at most on f and δ), where (a, q) = 1, P f (a, q) denotes the least prime p, with λ f (p) = 0, congruent to a (mod q), and λ f (p) is the pth Fourier coefficient of f . Moreover, we show the existence of a positive absolute constant C0, independent of f , such that there are infinitely many pairs (p1, p2) of distinct primes satisfying |p1 − p2| C0 and λ f (p1)λ f (p2) = 0, which presents a modular analogue of the recent work of Maynard and Zhang on bounded gaps between primes. §
Dietary exposure assessment to perchlorate in the European population

Abstract EFSA performed a human exposure assessment for perchlorate taking into account occurrence data in the EFSA database from samples taken after 1 September 2013. A data set of 18,217 analytical results provided by governmental organisations of 16 European countries was available. Some data were also provided by food business operators. Several food groups were represented in the data set. Relatively high mean middle bound occurrence values were found in dried products, like ‘Tea and herbs for infusion’ (324 μg/kg) and ‘Herbs, spices and condiments’ (63 μg/kg), and in some fresh vegetables, like ‘Radishes’ (117 μg/kg), ‘Rocket salad, rucola’ (75 μg/kg) and ‘Spinach (fresh)’ (132 μg/kg). The mean and P95 of exposure to perchlorate across dietary surveys were estimated using chronic and short‐term scenarios across different population groups. In the chronic scenario, infants, toddlers and other children showed exposure in the range (minimum lower bound (LB)–maximum upper bound (UB)) 0.04–0.61 μg/kg body weight (bw) per day, while in the older population groups, the range was 0.04–0.19 μg/kg bw per day; similarly, in the young population groups, the P95 of chronic exposure range was 0.09–1.0 μg/kg bw per day, while in the older population groups, it was 0.07–0.34 μg/kg bw per day. ‘Vegetable and vegetable products’, ‘Milk and dairy products’ and ‘Fruit and fruit products’ were found to be important contributors to the exposure across all population groups. Other food groups were relevant for specific population groups. The mean short‐term exposure of infants, toddlers and other children was in the range of 0.40–2.3 μg/kg bw per day, while in the older population groups, the range was 0.26–1.3 μg/kg bw per day; similarly, in the young population groups, the P95 short‐term exposure range was 0.94–6.5 μg/kg bw per day, while in the older population groups, the range was 0.67–3.6 μg/kg bw per day.
Effects of Flaxseed Oil on Vascular Health in Hyperlipidemic Adult Male Albino Rats = تأثير زيت بذرة الكتان على صحة الأوعية الدموية في الجرذان الذكور البيضاء البالغة عالية الدهون بالدم

Background: Globally, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing, predisposing both sexes to health hazards including cardiovascular diseases and death. Objective: Evaluation of the effects of flaxseed oil on vascular health in hyperlipidemia. Material and methods: Forty adult male albino rats of local strain between 7-8 weeks-old weighing 130-150 g were used. The rats were divided into four equal groups: Group I (control group), Group II (hyperlipidemic group), Group III (HFD-flaxseed oil prophylactic-group), Group IV (HFD-flaxseed oil treated-group). At the end of the experiment body weight, as well as serum levels of lipid profile, malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathion (GSH), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1) were determined for all groups. Results: Flaxseed oils pretreatment and treatment significantly decreased body weight. Serum cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL significantly decreased, while HDL significantly increased. Furthermore, flaxseed oil suppressed the increase in MDA, serum IL-6, TNF-α, and VCAM1 level and elevated the serum GSH level significantly. Conclusion: Flaxseed oil possessed anti-atherogenic actions that might be mediated by their reducing effect on the lipid profile and inflammatory markers. Pretreatment was more effective than its use as a treatment. Thus, flaxseed oil may have the therapeutic potential in atherosclerotic patient and may be a novel therapeutic strategy for atherosclerosis prevention and treatment.
Persian randomized dichotic digits test: Development and dichotic listening performance in young adults

Background and Aims: The dichotic listening subtest is considered as an important component of the test battery for auditory processing assessment in both children and adults. A randomized dichotic digits test (RDDT) was created to compensate for sensitivity weakness of double digits when detecting abnormal ear asymmetry during dichotic listening. The aim of this study was the development and initial evaluation of the Persian randomized dichotic digits test. Method: Persian digits 1-10 (except for the bisyllabic digit, 4) uttered by a native Persian language speaker were recorded in a studio. After alignment of intensity and temporal characteristics of digit waveforms, lists 1 and 2 of the RDDT were reproduced. List 1 of the test was administered at 55 dBHL on 50 right-handed normal hearing individuals (with an equal sex ratio) in the age group of 18-25 years and hearing thresholds of 15 dBHL or better in audiometric frequencies. Results: Mean (standard deviation) percent-correct score for right and left ears and right ear advantage of the subjects was 94.3 (5.3), 84.8 (7.7), and 9.5 (7.0) percent, respectively. Sixty percent of the subjects showed normal results and unilateral and bilateral deficits were seen in 24 percent and 16 percent, respectively. Conclusion: It seems the Persian version of RDDT is the same as the original test as it is able to test ear asymmetry, unilateral and bilateral deficits in dichotic listening.
A theoretical model of the thermoelectric properties of SnSxSe1−x and how to further enhance its thermoelectric performance

Tin-based chalcogenides have a lot of potential as thermoelectric materials due to their ultralow thermal conductivity. Therefore, most reports on doped SnS focus on its power factor as the other condition for a high thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT). Here, we use the Boltzmann transport formalism to calculate both the power factor and the thermal conductivity for SnS, SnSe, and SnS x Se 1 − x and compare it with experimental measurements. Our theoretical model, based on a relaxation-time formalism, is in very good agreement with the reported values. We conclude that, while impurity scattering plays a major role in electron transport and, therefore, largely determines the power factor, alloy scattering is crucial for phonon transport. Specifically, alloying reduces the thermal conductivity of SnSe 0.70 S 0.30 by a factor of ∼ 1.3 compared to SnSe and by a factor of ∼ 2 compared to SnS. This leads to ∼ 65 % and ∼ 33 % enhancements of ZT for p-type and n-type doping, respectively, at 800 K with respect to SnSe.Tin-based chalcogenides have a lot of potential as thermoelectric materials due to their ultralow thermal conductivity.

An exploratory study of female Korean American church leaders' views on domestic violence

This exploratory qualitative study examines the potential of Korean Protestant churches in preventing and intervening in domestic violence against women through the views of Korean Protestant female leaders. The study explores participants' understanding of their religious teachings on domestic violence, as well as how they view the role of Korean churches in addressing domestic violence against women in the Korean community. Participants considered domestic violence as something for which a marriage could rightfully be dissolved, considered abusers as sick people who need help, and advocated for domestic violence primary prevention targeting the whole community; however , they expected Korean churches to engage in preventing domestic violence instead of intervening in domestic violence cases. Based on outcomes of the study, potential avenues for change in practice, policy, and future research are discussed. Language: en
SIW cavity‐backed 24° inclined‐slots antenna for ISM band application

In this article, a novel resonant series slot linearly polarized antenna is realized using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology for industrial scientific medical radio band (ISM) at 5.8 GHz. The proposed antenna consists of two 24° inclined slots and two metallic vias to produce alternate inductive and capacitive loads. The rectangular slots are introduced at the top metallic surface at an angle of 24° from the Y‐axis to excite a hybrid mode (TE110 + TE120) near to the modified cavity mode TE120. The resonant slots are excited with the help of an inset microstrip feedline which retain its planar integrability. The slots are excited to resonate in the TE120 mode at 5.8 GHz. To enhance the bandwidth, the location of two shorting vias are optimized in proximity to the slots. These vias help to couple the hybrid mode and the cavity modes in the desired frequency band, which leads to enhancement in the bandwidth significantly. The proposed geometry is fabricated and experimentally verified. The measured and simulated results depict a good co‐relation which show measured −10 dB fractional bandwidth of 5.2% with a maximum gain of 7.15 dBi and the front to back ratio better than 15 dB at 5.8 GHz.
Second Braking Index of Intermittent Pulsar and Nulling Pulsar

The braking index parameter of intermittent pulsar would provide important insight into the pulsar slowdown and emission mechanism. In previous work, we presented the first braking index n = ν ν ̈ / ν ̇ 2 of the intermittent pulsar B1931+24, J1841−0500, J1832+0029 and nulling pulsar B0823+26, by using their observed spin frequency first derivatives ν ̇ in “on” and “off” states. In this paper, to improve and justify our method for studying the braking mechanism of intermittent pulsars, we continue to formulate a method in which the second braking indices, m = ν 2 ν ⃛ / ν ̇ 3 , of these pulsars can also be given with only the observed spin frequency first derivatives ν ̇ on and ν ̇ off . This paper will discuss, according to the emission and spin-down property of intermittent pulsars, three different magnetospheric configuration changes in the polar cap region. We find our approach produces feasible values of the second braking index of intermittent pulsar. Our calculations of the second braking indices are in close agreement with predicted second braking indices m = n(2n − 1), which are given by simple spin-down law of pulsar spin evolution, resulting in indirect observational support to our model.
Complementary and alternative medicine use among type 2 diabetes patients in a tertiary care hospital

The chronic diseases require prolonged therapy and these patients usually seek alternative medicines. Diabetes mellitus (DM) a chronic debilitating condition is associated with significant morbidity and mortality as it cannot be permanently cured and requires lifelong medicines. The modern medicines alone may not meet the needs of these patients and consequently some patients adopt CAM with addition to modern therapy. DM patients are 1.6 times more likely to use CAM. India too has many religious and spiritual beliefs and these are more likely to influence the usage of CAM. India is the birth place of one of the oldest systems of medicine, Ayurveda, which had its origin around 2000 years back and is the most commonly practiced form of CAM. About 80% Indian patients use ayurvedic drugs particularly in chronic illnesses. Besides, Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Sidda and Homeopathy are other forms of CAM practised ABSTRACT
Recovery Sleep versus Emotion Regulation in Predicting Fire Service Shift Workers Stress, Fatigue and Irritability

ABSTRACT Objective/Background: Fire service shift workers are at risk of developing mental health difficulties related to sleep loss and emotion dysregulation. We aimed to clarify the relationship between off-shift recovery sleep and emotion regulation on stress, fatigue and irritability. Participants: A total of 61 fire service shift workers (e.g. firefighter, captain, engineer, paramedic) on a “5/6” shift. Methods: Following five 24-hour shifts, participants reported on emotion regulation as well as daily sleep, stress, fatigue and irritability during six consecutive off-shift recovery days. Mediation analyses examined (1) emotion regulation as a predictor and sleep as a mediator of stress, fatigue and irritability outcomes; and (2) sleep as a predictor and emotion regulation as a mediator of stress, fatigue and irritability outcomes. Results: Greater self-reported total sleep time predicted lower recovery stress, fatigue, and irritability. Greater subjective sleep efficiency predicted lower recovery stress and fatigue, but not irritability. No significant relationships emerged for objective sleep or emotion regulation variables predicting stress, fatigue or irritability. There were no significant findings with either emotion regulation or sleep variables included as mediators. Conclusions: These findings suggest that stress management programs for fire service shift workers may be most effective when targeting sleep efficiency and quantity rather than emotion regulation strategies in the off-shift recovery period.
Africa's Climate Response to Solar Radiation Management With Stratospheric Aerosol

Anthropogenic warming is projected to increase the magnitude and frequency of extreme events, whose impacts are already being felt in vulnerable regions in sub‐Saharan Africa. Solar radiation management (SRM) has been proposed as an interim measure to offset warming while emissions are reduced; however, the impact of stratospheric SRM on regional climate extremes have not yet been explored, particularly in the Paris agreement context. We investigate the potential impact of SRM on temperature and rainfall means and extremes over sub‐Saharan Africa using simulations from the Geoengineering Large Ensemble. We found SRM significantly reduces temperature means and extremes; however, the effect on precipitation is not as linear. The results should be interpreted with caution as they are particular to this approach of SRM and this modelling experiment.
Flexure of the Lithosphere Beneath the North Polar Cap of Mars: Implications for Ice Composition and Heat Flow

The geodynamical response of the lithosphere under stresses imposed by the geologically young north polar cap is one of the few clues we have to constrain both the polar cap composition and the present‐day thermal state of Mars. Here we combine radar data with a flexural loading model to self‐consistently estimate the density ( ρ ) and real dielectric constant ( ε′ ) of the polar cap, and the elastic thickness of the lithosphere underneath ( Te ). Our results show that ρ ranges from 920 to 1,520 kg m −3 , ε′ is 2.75 (+0.40, − 0.35), and Te is between 330 and 450 km. We determine a polar cap volume that is up to 30% larger than current estimates that all neglect lithospheric flexure. Our inferred compositions suggest that, for dust content larger than about 6 vol%, 10 vol% CO 2 ice is mixed within the polar deposits, which has important implications for the climate evolution of Mars.
A study on clinical profile of paraquat poisoning in a tertiary care hospital

Background: Paraquat poisoning is a weedicide used rarely for suicide. It is now being increasingly as this type of suicidal poisoning is almost always fatal as there is no specific antidote for paraquat poison. ARDS, acute kidney injury with metabolic acidosis or multi-organ failure are the frequent causes of mortality. Methods: The study aimed to study the morbidity and mortality rates of Paraquat poisoning in tertiary care teaching hospital. Patients admitted with Paraquat poisoning were included, and the data were collected and analysed. Results: The total number of cases admitted with paraquat poisoning in intensive care unit in three years duration were 10. All the cases were suicidal in nature. 80% of the cases had acute kidney injury with severe metabolic acidosis and 20% had mediastinitis. 70% of cases died within 48 hours of ingestion. The overall mortality rate was 100% in spite of active management. Conclusions: Of all registered herbicides, Paraquat is the most serious and life threatening. Inspite of early haemodialysis, steroids and cyclophosphamide therapy, it was ineffective in reducing the mortality rates. Newer treatment like early hemoperfusion may help to reduce the mortality in future.
Measurement of Subcarinal Angle: A Cadaveric study

Introduction: The bifurcation of trachea into two primary bronchi at the level of fourth thoracic vertebra creates an angle at the bifurcation. This angle can be seen clearly in routine chest X-rays where the measurement can throw light on many medical conditions within the mediastinum. This study aimed at finding the subcarinal angle, which is the angle formed by inferior borders of two primary bronchi. Methods: The measurements were taken from photographs of tracheal specimen of 92 cadavers, 63 male and 29 female. Angle was measured by photographic software and analysis of subcarinal angle was done in the study population. Results: The mean subcarinal angle was found to be 41.09° with standard deviation of 17.14°. This measurement was found to be significantly more in males (68.02± 15.72°) than in females (60.14 ± 17.71°). Conclusion: The subcarinal angles in the study population were seen to be different among sexes. Also, the mean subcarinal angles from other studies, radiological or on specimen were close to the observations made in this study.
