Faculty perception of teaching translation courses online during Covid-19

Purpose The spread of Covid-19 has led to the closure of educational institutions worldwide, forcing academic institutions to find online platforms. The purpose of this paper is to accelerate the development of the online learning (OL) environments within those institutions. The Covid-19 pandemic has unfolded the extent of the academic institutions' readiness to deal with such a crisis. Design/methodology/approach In this vein, the study aimed to identify the perception of translation instructors in teaching translation courses online during Covid-19, using a questionnaire to explore the strategies and challenges of teaching and assessing students' performance. The analysis revealed instructors' reliance on Zoom and Microsoft Teams in offering virtual classes and WhatsApp in communication with students outside the class. Findings The findings revealed the relative effectiveness of online education, but its efficacy is less than face-to-face learning according to the respondents' views. It was also found that students faced difficulties in OL, which lie in adapting to the online environment, lack of interaction and motivation and the deficiency of data connections. Even though online education could work as an aid during Covid-19, but it could not replace face-to-face instruction. Based on the findings, the study recommended blended learning. Combining online education with face-to-face instruction, i.e. face-to-face plus synchronous and asynchronous, would result in a rigorous OL environment. Originality/value The research is genuine and there is no conflict of interest.
Factors Forming Firm Performance of Micro-Businesses

Micro-businesses are part of MSMEs and an economic booster, a vibrant and profitable segment in any developing country such as Indonesia. As a business entity, micro-enterprises are expecting to have good company performance to survive. This study aims to analyze the four factors that shape micro-enterprises' performance in the city of Padang. Those factors are financial literacy, financial inclusion, internal locus of control, and risk perception. This research was using a total of 119 samples from all micro-businesses based on clustered proportional random sampling. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The results showed that financial literacy, financial inclusion, internal locus of control, and risk perception directly affect micro-businesses performance.
Regulation of Colitis Adenosine Receptors in the T Cell-Mediated 2A Cutting Edge: Critical Role for A

A 2A adenosine receptors (A 2A AR) inhibit inflammation, although the mechanisms through which adenosine exerts its effects remain unclear. Although the transfer of regulatory Th cells blocks colitis induced by pathogenic CD45RB high Th cells, we show that CD45RB low or CD25 (cid:1) Th cells from A 2A AR-deficient mice do not prevent disease. Moreover, CD45RB high Th cells from A 2A AR-deficient mice were not suppressed by control CD45RB low Th cells. A 2A AR agonists suppressed the production of proinflammatory cytokines by CD45RB high and CD45RB low T cells in association with a loss of mRNA stability. In contrast, anti-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-10 and TGF- (cid:2) , were minimally affected. Oral administration of the A 2A AR agonist ATL313 attenuated disease in mice receiving CD45RB high Th cells. These data suggest that A 2A AR play a novel role in the control of T cell-mediated colitis by sup-pressing the expression of proinflammatory cytokines while sparing anti-inflammatory activity mediated by IL-10 and TGF- (cid:2) .

Organizational Justice Dimensions and Perceived Organizational Support: Preliminary Findings

This study examines the influence of the elements of organizational justice covered by three specific forms of justice. Distributive justice, procedural justice, and mutual justice (POS) based on organizational support. The population for this study is nurses from all private public hospitals in Padang. However, for this preliminary study, we only used 30 respondents as a sample. Use the Likert scale to collect data through questionnaires. In this study, the data was analyzed by multiple linear regression using SPSS 20.0. The results of this study indicate that distributive justice has a positive and significant impact on perceived organizational support. In addition, the results of this study also prove that procedural justice has a positive and significant impact on perceived organizational support. Finally, the results of this study show that interactive justice has a positive and significant impact on perceived organizational support.
The Dynamics of Bank Assets Volatility in Central and Eastern European Countries

An important aspect in managing and addressing a financial crisis is the tax burden sharing between affected countries. Fiscal costs incurred by the rescue of a banking group may be substantial and the sharing process can generate difficult negotiations of the countries involved, leading to delays in the development of crisis management and resolution. Because the mechanisms of fiscal burden sharing imply potential adverse selection and moral hazard problems, it is possible that the appropriate burden-sharing mechanism for the Eastern European Countries be a mix of ex-ante mechanisms. In this paper we estimate the dynamics of bank assets volatility in the case of five major listed banks in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, in order to analyze the manner in which the volatility during the financial crises propagated its effects in CEE countries at the beginning of 2009. The findings indicate that there was a sharp increase in volatility at the beginning of 2009, but as of mid 2011 it is converging back to pre-crisis values.

PREVALENCE OF ENDOPARASITES IN BANDICOTA BENGALENSIS DURING DIFFERENT GROWTH STAGES OF RICE AND WHEAT CROPS IN PUNJAB

The bandicoot rats of both sexes were collected from village Dhatt, Punjab, India during 2016-17 at five growth stages (tillering, panicle initiation, dough, pre-harvesting, lean period) of rice and wheat crops, dissected and inspected from liver and small/large intestines for presence of endoparasites. Higher per cent of infected rats were found in wheat as compared to rice crop. Female rats were found to be more infected with various endoparasites than males in rice crop whereas in wheat crop male rats were found to be more infected as compared to females which results that host gender has signiûcant effect on parasite infection patterns due to physiological differences. In rice crop, maximum infected rats were found in lean period with helminth Hymenolepis nana, Cysticercus fasciolaris, Capillaria hepatica, Syphacia obvelata and nematodal larvae in concurrence with each other, whereas it was maximum during tillering stage in wheat crop with addition to Trichuris muris. Our study concludes that as B. bengalensis lives in close association with human habitations, it may act as an important source of zoonotic infections and thus due care should be taken to avoid direct or indirect contact with excrements and carcasses of this pest species.
Effect of Water Storage on Hardness and Interfacial Strength of Resin Composite Luting Agents Bonded to Surface-Treated Monolithic Zirconia

Background: Durable bonding between resin composite luting agents (CLA) and zirconia is still a matter of controversy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of water storage on hardness and interfacial strength of three CLA, a non-adhesive (Multilink Automix/ML), an adhesive (Panavia F 2.0/PF) and a self-adhesive (PermaCem 2.0/PC), bonded to polished (CL) and grit-blasted (AL: 50 μm alumina, SJ: Sil-Jet + Monobond Plus silane) monolithic zirconia surfaces. Methods: CLA specimens (n = 5/cement, condition) were prepared, stored under dry conditions or immersed in water, and Vickers hardness (VH) measurements were obtained at 1 h, 24 h, 1 week and 3 weeks intervals. Optical profilometry was used to determine the roughness parameters (Sa, Sz, Sdr, Sci) of zirconia surfaces (n = 5/treatment). A shear strength test (SBS, n = 10 × 2/cement) was performed to assess the strength and fractography of the cements bonded to zirconia after isothermal water storage and thermal-cycling (TC). Results: PF demonstrated significantly lower VHN after water storage at all time intervals, PC at 1 w, 3 w and ML at 3 w. SJ and AL showed significantly higher values from CL in all roughness parameters. Weibull analysis revealed the following significance in σο ranking within the same material: AL, SJ, ALTC > SJTC, CL > CLTC (PF); SJ, SJTC, AL, ALTC > CL, CLTC (PC) and SJ, SJTC > AL > ALTC > CL, CLTC (ML). Within the same surface treatment subgroups, the significance in σo ranking was PC, ML > PF (before/after TC) for SJ; PC > PF > ML (before TC), PC, PF > ML (after TC) for AL, and PC > PF > ML (before/after TC) for CL. For the m ranking, the only significant difference within each material group was found in PC (AL > ALTC) and for the same surface treatment in AL (PC > ML). Conclusion: There are significant differences in the water plasticization susceptibility of the CLA tested; the materials with adhesive monomers were the most affected. Tribo-chemical silica coating combined with a silane coupling agent was the most efficient bonding treatment for the non-adhesive and the self-adhesive materials. The adhesive CLA performed better on alumina-blasted than on tribo-chemically coated surfaces.
Yielding the Right of The Way: A Mixed Design Study for Understanding Drivers’ Yielding Behavior

To understand drivers’ yielding behavior, field observations and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Cramer’s V and logistic regression analyses of the field observation on 1140 drivers and pedestrians demonstrated that driver gender and pedestrian age have significant relationships with the tendency to yield the right of way. Other than gender and age, road characteristics were also investigated to understand the nature of this relationship between drivers and pedestrians to a broader extent. From the interviews’ thematic analysis, four themes related to participants' thoughts about yielding behavior were obtained: "Places of Interaction," "Trust in Rules," "Factors Affecting Yielding Behavior", and "Future Solutions. " Both the analysis of interviews and the observations showed that driver-pedestrian interaction is an essential factor regarding traffic safety.
Paradigm Shift in Cosmology

The main objective of a paper is to discuss the most important Concepts for any Cosmological model: universality of physical laws; cosmological principle (homogeneous and isotropic universe); Space, Time, and Gravitation; speed of light in vacuum; structure and content of the World; dark matter and ordinary matter; origin of matter (singularity or continuous creation); Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum; Primary Cosmological Parameters; Four Pillars of Standard Cosmology (SC) – expansion of Universe, nucleosynthesis of light elements, formation of large-scale structures, origin of cosmic background radiation. The performed analysis shows that SC fails to account for most of these concepts. The most intriguing result is that there was no Initial Singularity: all galaxies are gravitationally bound with their Superclusters. Proposed Hypersphere World-Universe Model (WUM) is, in fact, a Paradigm Shift in Cosmology. According to WUM, Superclusters are, in fact, the principal objects of the World. Macroobjects form from the top (Superclusters) down to galaxies and extrasolar systems in parallel around different Cores made up of different Dark Matter Particles. Formation of galaxies and stars is not a process that concluded ages ago; instead, it is ongoing.
PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF THE NEWLY DEVELOPED COMBINED SOCIAL STRESS INDUCTION PARADIGM

There are several stress-induction paradigms used in human research, but their accuracy and efficiency are still questionable. The current study aimed to develop a social stress induction paradigm in Thai version by combining Sing-a-Song Stress Test and Cyberball called Combined Social Stress Test (CSST) and validate in Thai college student population. Participants consisted of 30 healthy Thai college students (mean age of 20.73, M= 11 and F= 19). The result suggested that CSST could significantly induce social stress as indicated by significant increase in heart rate, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and anxiety score. This finding could be concluded that CSST is a valid and effective methods to induce social stress for Thai college student population.

Comparison of sugars, organic acids and aroma components of five table grapes in Xinjiang

The sugar, organic acid and aroma Components are very important quality characteristics of fruits. In this study, sugars, organic acids and volatile substances in five varieties of Xinjiang table grape pulp were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results showed that among the five varieties of table grapes in Xinjiang, fructose and glucose were the main sugars, accounting for 46.53-48.82% and 49.35-51.49% of the total sugar content, respectively. Tartaric acid and malic acid were the main organic acids, accounting for 55.72-60.07% and 28.54-39.52% of the total organic acids, respectively. The composition of sugars and organic acids ratio plays a significant role in the taste of table grapes. The sweetness of Red Globe was the highest while the acidity of Centennial Seedless was the highest. In addition, 87 varieties of volatile compounds were identified in table grape pulp with aldehydes as the major compounds (30.93-71.83%). In particular, trans-2-hexenal accounted for 19.33-44.56% of the total volatiles. Analysis of active odorants showed that nerol, geraniol, (Z)-3-hexenal, trans-2-hexenal, phenylacetaldehyde, citral and β-myrcene had great contributions to the flavors of Centennial Seedless and Muscat Hamburg, providing flowery, fruity, green and grassy flavors. Hexanol, trans-2-hexen-1-ol, damascone and ethyl butyrate had great contributions to the flavors of Rizamat, providing flowery, green and fruity flavors. Nonanal and 1-octen-3-one had great contributions to the flavors of Manaizi, providing mushroom and fruity flavors. The results provided the complete chemical characteristics of sugar, organic acids and volatile compounds of five varieties of table grapes in Xinjiang, China.
Research on crop disease recognition based on Multi-Branch ResNet-18

Traditional image processing has many problems in crop disease identification, such as complicated manual design and low efficiency. This article studies the application of deep learning algorithms in the identification of crop diseases. In this article, attention mechanism and feature fusion are introduced to optimize ResNet-18, and for the problem that the network has only a single output, based on the optimized ResNet-18, a Multi-Branch ResNet-18(MB-ResNet-18) and a joint loss function are proposed to achieve the simultaneous classification of crop-type level, disease-type level, and disease-degree level. The experimental results show that, compared with ResNet-18, the network structure proposed in this article basically maintains the classification accuracy of crop-type level and disease-type level, and the classification accuracy on crop disease-degree level has increased by 2.11%.
Ecological Vulnerability of Lake Basin by Integrating Human Activity Indicators based on RS and GIS: A Case of Fuxian Lake in Yunnan Province, China

The variation of landscape pattern and vulnerability can indicate the ecological environmental state. This study established a model for landscape pattern vulnerability based on human activity intensity by taking five sets of land use data (1995, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015). Landscape sensitivity index, landscape adaptability index and human activity intensity of land surface were all used to compute the landscape vulnerability index. In virtue of Fragstats 4.2 and ArcGIS 10.5, landscape index can be obtained and spatial-temporal distribution and evolution of landscape pattern vulnerability were analysed. Results showed that, (1) from 1995 to 2015, the human activity intensity and landscape pattern vulnerability in the Fuxian Lake Basin deteriorated gradually, the area of higher intensity/vulnerability and high intensity/vulnerability dramatically expanded with time. (2) the spatial heterogeneity of landscape pattern vulnerability increased, there are significant differences between the north, south ends and east, west sides of Fuxian Lake. (3) The global spatiality of landscape pattern vulnerability exhibited strong positive correlation with the significant form of spatial agglomeration, and the positive spatial autocorrelation continued to keep on but the tendency of spatial concentration was slightly decreasing over time. The local autocorrelation mainly based on high-high accumulation zone and low-low accumulation zone had stronger spatial autocorrelation among neighbouring space units. Due to the implementation of the protection policy, the landscape pattern vulnerability in the east sides of Fuxian Lake had expressed declining trend, but that in the north need more attention and protection.
Effect of Speech Presentation Level on Acceptance of Noise in Listeners with Normal and Impaired Hearing

Experiment I investigated the effects of speech presentation level on acceptance of background noise in listeners with normal (N = 30) and impaired hearing (n = 69); Experiment II investigated the potential for the effects of speech presentation level on acceptance of noise to differentiate full-time (N = 25), part-time (N = 21), and non-users (N = 23) of hearing aids; and Experiment III investigated the predictive probability of acceptance of noise measured at multiple speech presentation levels. Conventional ANL (i.e., ANL at MCL), global ANL (i.e., ANL averaged across speech presentation levels), and ANL growth (i.e., the slope of the ANL function) were measured for all listeners. Results from Experiment I demonstrated that neither global ANLs nor ANL growth were related to hearing sensitivity when listeners were matched for conventional ANL. Additionally, none of the ANL measures were related to pure tone average for listeners with impaired hearing. These results indicate that the effects of presentation level on acceptance of noise may not be related to hearing sensitivity. Results from Experiment II demonstrated that global ANLs differentiated the three hearing aid groups in the same manner as conventional ANL; however, ANL growth differentiated full-time hearing aid users from non-users only. Individual data analysis further demonstrated that both global ANL and ANL growth may be able to better differentiate part-time hearing aid users from the other two groups better than conventional ANL. These results indicate that the effects of presentation level on acceptance of noise show potential in differentiating the three hearing aid groups. Results of Experiment III demonstrated that conventional ANL predicted hearing aid use for successful (i.e., iv
Understanding the Electrochemical Mechanism of the New Iron-Based Mixed-Phosphate Na4Fe3(PO4)2(P2O7) in a Na Rechargeable Battery

Compounds with a mixed polyanion framework have recently gained attention as a new class of compounds for material exploration. The potential tunability of the structure by using various combinations of polyanions can potentially lead to a novel cathode. However, the redox reaction in complex structures often involves complex structural evolutions during the electrochemical reaction, which require careful analysis. We investigated the electrochemical mechanism of NaxFe3(PO4)2(P2O7) (1 ≤ x ≤ 4), which was recently proposed as a promising mixed-polyanion cathode for Na rechargeable batteries, using first principles calculations and experiments. We discovered that the de/sodiation of the NaxFe3(PO4)2(P2O7) electrode occurs via a one-phase reaction with a reversible Fe2+/Fe3+ redox reaction and accompanies an exceptionally small volumetric change of less than 4%. Na ion intercalation usually induces a large volumetric change in conventional systems; therefore, this small volume change is unusual and was attri.
