Accessibility of Tests in Higher Education Online Learning Environments: Perspectives and Practices of U.K. Expert Practitioners

This study is an investigation of the perspectives and practices of U.K. expert practitioners regarding the accessibility of tests in higher education online learning environments. As a growing area of concern in the higher education field, the accessibility of online tests is a particularly complex and challenging topic. To explore this topic further, twelve U.K. higher education expert practitioners were consulted. Five major themes that were identified by the participants included: 1. Requirement for balance between academic integrity and accessibility; 2. Need for inclusive design to better support the creation and delivery of accessible online tests; 3. Issues related to the mainstreaming of accessible online tests and testing processes; 4. Resources required to support the design and delivery of accessible online tests; and 5. Technology issues and approaches. The participants shared their research findings, experiences, and reflections regarding their work related to different types of online tests and accessibility.
Running title : FAS GENE POLYMORPHISMS AND PRE-ECLAMPSIA

Pre-eclampsia results in real risk and signifi cant impact on indicators related to maternal and child health. The only known treatment is delivery of the fetus and placenta. Despite intensive research, the causes of PE remain to be elucidated. It is suggested that pre-eclampsia is caused by a global maternal infl ammatory response to a damaged placenta. Besides infl ammation, cytotoxic and apoptotic mechanisms are also implicated in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia. Considering the importance of apoptosis to pre-eclampsia genesis, the aim of this study was to determine the frequencies of the genotypes for FAS gene polymorphisms (rs3740286 and rs4064) and to associate these with pre-eclampsia development. Women with and without pre-eclampsia were investigated. Accordingly, peripheral blood was collected, and DNA extracted, followed by genotyping using Real-time PCR with hydrolysis probe. The results showed no association between genotypes and pre-eclampsia development for both polymorphisms studied (χ=3.39; p=.177, for rs3740286 and χ=0.119; p=.94 for rs4064). Women with familiar history of pre-eclampsia and primiparity showed more probability to develop the condition, by multiple logistic regression analysis (OR=8.61, CI=3.39-21.86, p<0.0001; OR=6.64. CI=2.94-14.99, p<0.0001, respectively). It seems that FAS gene polymorphisms (rs3740286 and rs4064) might not be important candidates for the development of pre-eclampsia.
The knowledge about diagnostic imaging methods among primary care and medical emergency physicians*

Objective: To evaluate the knowledge about diagnostic imaging methods among primary care and medical emergency physicians. Materials and Methods: Study developed with 119 primary care and medical emergency physicians in Montes Claros, MG, Brazil, by means of a structured questionnaire about general knowledge and indications of imaging methods in common clinical settings. A rate of correct responses corresponding to ≥ 80% was considered as satisfactory. The Poisson regression (PR) model was utilized in the data analysis. Results: Among the 81 individuals who responded the questionnaire, 65% (n = 53) demonstrated to have satisfactory general knowledge and 44% (n = 36) gave correct responses regarding indications of imaging methods. Respectively, 65% (n = 53) and 51% (n = 41) of the respondents consider that radiography and computed tomography do not use ionizing radiation. The prevalence of a satisfactory general knowledge about imaging methods was associated with medical residency in the respondents’ work field (PR = 4.55; IC 95%: 1.18–16.67; p-value: 0.03), while the prevalence of correct responses regarding indication of imaging methods was associated with the professional practice in primary health care (PR = 1.79; IC 95%: 1.16–2.70; p-value: 0.01). Conclusion: Major deficiencies were observed as regards the knowledge about imaging methods among physicians, with better results obtained by those involved in primary health care and by residents.

The prevalence of cervical cancer in Indonesia is very high, which it is estimated that every day 40-45 new cases appear. The purpose of this study was to describe nurses’ attitude about pap smear as an early detection of cervical cancer in a hospital in western Indonesia. The research method was used descriptive quantitative with purposive sampling technique. The results of this study shows that most of the respondents have the positive attitude in performing pap smears in the Western Indonesia hospitals with the percentage of 97,5% and the rest indicate negative attitude. The conclusion of this study is that the positive attitude of nurses towards early detection of pap smears is expected to be maintained and furthermore the hospital continues to provide health facilities for female nurses to carry out early detection of cervical cancer as an annual program from hospital.
Does Proximity Matter?

After observing an unwillingness to return among the residents in Fukushima following the nuclear accident in 2011, the question has been raised whether a similar response to a nuclear fallout should be expected among Swedish residents. One determinant of this response is the geographical proximity of the resident to the nearest nuclear plant. This could be due to differences in risk perception and preferences between residents living close, and farther away from the plant. This study aims to answer if geographical proximity matters for the response among residents in a hypothetical situation of a nuclear fallout, by investigating whether residents living close to a nuclear plant are 1) more likely to return after a fallout, and 2) less likely to express high level of concern for exposure to radioactive substances. To answer these questions, a citizen-panel data has been analyzed by means of an ordered logistic regression model. The findings reveal that residents in close proximity are not more likely to return, yet they are less likely to express high levels of concern which in turn could affect the likeliness to return.
Moving to Greener Pastures? Multinationals and the Pollution Moving to Greener Pastures? Multinationals and the Pollution Haven Hypothesis Haven Hypothesis

Abstract This paper presents evidence on whether multinationals are flocking to developing country “pollution havens”. Although we find some evidence that foreign investors locate in sectors with high levels of air pollution, the evidence is weak at best. We then examine whether foreign firms pollute less than their peers. We find that foreign plants are significantly more energy efficient and use cleaner types of energy. We conclude with an analysis of U.S. outbound investment. Although the pattern of U.S. foreign investment is skewed towards industries with high costs of pollution abatement, the results are not robust across specifications. ABSTRACT This paper presents evidence on whether multinationals are flocking to developing country "pollution havens". Although we find some evidence that foreign investors locate in sectors with high levels of air pollution, the evidence is weak at best. We then examine whether foreign firms pollute less than their peers. We find that foreign plants are significantly more energy efficient and use cleaner types of energy. We conclude with an analysis of US outbound investment. Although the pattern of US foreign investment is skewed towards industries with high costs of pollution abatement, the results are not robust across specifications. 2 Instead, much of the literature focuses on the relationship between income growth and pollution. Grossman and Krueger (1995) postulate an inverted 'u-curve'. This empirical relationship has found support in other studies as well (see Selden and Song, 1994; The World Bank, 1992). The hypothesis, supported by their empirical analysis, states that pollution will first increase with income, then decrease at higher income levels. The initial upward relationship occurs because of a positive relationship between output and emissions. The downward tendency occurs when higher demand for environmental quality at higher income levels forces the introduction of cleaner technologies (the technique effect) and an output combination which is less polluting (the composition effect). A related literature examines the relationship between openness and environmental quality. Again, the links can be analysis of the pattern of foreign investment. Our research focuses on three related issues. We begin by analyzing the pattern of foreign investment in a number of developing countries--looking for evidence which reflects increasing costs of pollution-intensive activities at home. To control for other factors which may be important in helping to attract foreign investment, we create measures of trade policies, industrial concentration, the domestic regulatory environment, factor endowments, and wages at home. We use data from four host countries: Cote d'Ivoire, Morocco, Mexico, and Venezuela.
NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE The Overestimation of Windspeeds from Cup Anemometers

An International Turbulence Comparison Experiment (ITCE) was conducted near Deniliquin, Australia in 1976, and provides information on the question of whether cup anemometers significantly overestimate mean wind speed. Businger et al. (1971), acting upon results from comparisons between mean wind speeds from 3-cup and sonic anemometers at levels 5.66, 11.3 and 22.6m in the 1968. Kansas atmospheric surface layer experiment, applied a constant overspeeding correction of 10 percent to all their cup anemometer results. Izumi and Barad (1970) attributed all of the measured difference to the property of the rotating cup system to accelerate faster than it decelerates in a gusty wind. This explanation has been criticised by, for example, Hyson (1972) and Kaganov and Yaglom (1976), both pointing out that this so-called "u-error" can account for no more than a 2 to 3 percent correction. Wieringa (1980) attributes a portion of the Kansas correction to flow distortion by the supporting structures. The view that the "u-error" (due to the non cosine response of a cup anemometer) is much less than 10 percent for typical daytime conditions over land, is reinforced by Kondo et al. (1971). These authors identify the error resulting from the cup anemometer measuring total wind speed rather than the horizontal u component (the "DP-error" in the terminology of MacCready, 1966), as being more important. They express the "DP-error" in terms of the standard deviation of the wind azimuth angle, giving typical overestimates of u of about 4 percent over land in unstable conditions. Using the ITCE data (Garratt et al. 1979) we have looked for evidence of a "u-error" in the comparisons between three different cup anemometer types, an approach suggested by the results of Lindley (1975). Such differences as do exist can be explained by calibration uncertainties so that no conclusion on overspeeding is possible. More direct evidence on the overestimation of the horizontal component of wind at ITCE comes from a comparison between Australian staggered 6-cup anemometer results at 4m and wind speeds determined by the Japanese sonic anemometer operated on the neighbouring central core mast (Dyer et al. 1980) at 4m. Signals from the KaijoDenki 3-dimensional sonic were sampled at 33.3 Hz for each 30 minute central core run. The 30 minute mean horizontal wind vector uj was obtained, as well as UJ the mean horizontal wind speed (where UJ= (uJ2+vJ2 )1/2) . UJ more closely corresponds to the signal recorded by a cup anemometer.
UPTAKE OF PERI- AND TELE-INSULAR ACINAR CELLS OF THE PANCREAS IN NORMAL AND STREP- TOZOTOCIN-DIABETIC MICE

The uptake of 3H-leucine by periand tele-insular acinar cells of the pancreas was analyzed quantitatively 60 min after the intraperitoneal injection of 3H-leucine in normal and streptozotocin-diabetic mice. A large tissue sample was analyzed and the grain density was counted with a color image analyzer equipped with a computer. The radioactivity was expressed as number of silver grains per acinar cell as well as per unit area of acinar tissue. In normal mice, the radioactivity in peri-insular acinar cells was 43% greater than in tele-insular acinar cells. The intercalated ducts associated with the former also showed a larger number of silver grains. In streptozotocin-diabetic mice, the uptake of 3H-leucine in periand teleinsular acinar cells was almost similar. The estimate of mean acinar cell profile area was 30% larger in the peri-insular acini of normal mice, while no difference was observed between the estimates of periand teleinsular acinar cells of diabetic mice. These results confirm previous reports that the B cell serection plays a certain role in the protein synthesis of pancreatic acinar cells, especially for the cells of peri-insular acini.

Istano Basa Pagaruyung is a famous cultural attraction in West Sumatra. The attractiveness potentials of Istano Basa Pagaruyung that is unique, beautiful, and visited by many tourists, is a supporting factor for optimizing the management of Istano Basa Pagaruyung's attraction. The addition of buildings and supporting facilities to support tourism objects and the increase of entrance tickets for Istano Basa Pagaruyung made it necessary to identify the valuation of the tourist attraction business. This study aimed to analyze the perception of visitors on Istana Baso Pagaruyung cultural tourism and its economic value estimation. The economic value of Istano Basa Pagaruyung in terms of tourist demand was estimated using the Travel Cost Method (TCM) approach. Data were obtained using questionnaires disseminated to the visitors. The results showed that the cost of travel, level of education, and length of knowing the location significantly affected the level of visits to Istano Basa Pagaruyung. Based on the calculation, the consumer surplus based on the individual travel cost method was Rp29,395.00 per individual per visit and the economic value of the location was Rp11,622,500,583.00. The large economic benefits of tourism activities in Istano Basa Pagaruyung had a positive influence on the socioeconomic improvement of the local people
Title : Does the Type of Experience for Licensure Affect CPAs ’ Ethical Framework ?

Approved: ___________________________________ Roger Graham Moral reasoning ability is a measure of the stage of development of an individual along a theoretical scale through which one moves over the course of their lifetime, developed by Lawrence Kohlberg and further modified by James Rest, who’s revised Defining Issues Test (DIT-2) will be used for our study. This study explores the relationship between the moral reasoning ability of recently licensed Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and the field in which they gained their experience required for licensure. The three populations examined in the survey were CPAs who had gained their experience in industry, public auditing, and public tax. The survey did not find statistically significant variation in moral reasoning between the three groups examined. However, the survey did find significantly higher scores among our sample as compared to the established norms for the survey tool in one particular schema, Maintaining Norms. This supports the theory that accountants follow a particularly rules-based ethical system.
Correlations of Maternal Serum Zinc Levels with Cord Blood Procollagen Type 1-N Terminal Propeptide Levels and Anthropometric Measurements of Newborns

Background: Zinc is an important micronutrient that is required for optimal fetal growth and development. Zinc deficiency during pregnancy may interfere with intrauterine fetal ossification. Fetal ossification can be measured with specific bone growth markers, such as procollagen type 1-N terminal propeptide (P1NP). This study aimed to investigate the mean maternal serum zinc levels and assess the correlations of maternal serum zinc levels with cord blood P1NP levels and anthropometric measurements of newborns. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Universitas Sumatera Utara Hospital and other hospitals in Medan, Indonesia, from April to October 2019. The statistical populations were pregnant mothers and their newborns who met the inclusion criteria. The participants were selected using a consecutive sampling technique. Maternal serum zinc levels and cord blood P1NP levels were measured before delivery; moreover, anthropometric measurements were conducted in this study. Results: A total of 42 subjects were included in this study with a mean maternal serum zinc level of 52.0±9.0 μg/dL. The proportion of pregnant mothers with low serum zinc levels was high (54.8%). According to the results, there was a significant correlation between maternal serum zinc levels and newborn birth weight (r=0.648) and length (r=0.656), as well as head circumference (r=0.578; P=0.001). There was also a significant and positive linear correlation between maternal serum zinc levels and cord blood P1NP levels (r=0.469; P=0.002). Conclusion: The mean maternal serum zinc levels during pregnancy were below normal. There were positive significant correlations between maternal serum zinc levels and cord blood P1NP levels with anthropometric measurements of newborns.

Effect of Whey Concentrate Addition on the Chemical, Nutritional and Sensory Properties of Tarhana (a Turkish Fermented Cereal-based Food)

In this study, Tarhana, which is a traditional and nutritious Turkish cereal food, was supplemented with whey concantrate (WC) in stead of yoghurt. The effects of WC addition on the chemical, nutritional and sensory properties of tarhana samples were determined and compared with the control sample made with yoghurt. The moisture, crude ash, protein and fat contents of the samples changed between 10.53 and 11.28%; 1.507 and 1.758%; 9.75 and 12.52% and 0.87 and 6.33%, respectively. As major minerals, Mg, Ca, P, Na and K contents of WC added tarhana samples versus the control, increased, while protein amounts were decreasing, significantly (P<0.01). The addition of WC resulted the samples lighter in color and lower in acidity. The phytic acid contents of WC added tarhana samples are decreased significantly (P<0.01) by the fermentation. Tarhana sample with 12.5% WC which is equivalent to the yoghurt in solid amount, were judged with high overall acceptability values by the taste panelists. It may be acceptible up to 25% whey addition level with higher nutritional value.
Validation of metabarcoding primers for terrestrial arthropods

: 16 Metabarcoding can rapidly determine the species composition of bulk samples and thus aids 17 ecosystem assessment. However, it is essential to use primer sets that minimize amplification bias 18 among taxa to maximize species recovery. Despite this fact, the performance of primer sets employed 19 for metabarcoding terrestrial arthropods has not been sufficiently evaluated. Thus this study tests the performance of 36 primer sets on a mock community containing 374 species. Amplification success 21 was assessed with gradient PCRs and the 21 most promising primer sets selected for metabarcoding. 22 These 21 primer sets where also tested by metabarcoding a Malaise trap sample. We identified eight 23 primer sets, mainly those including inosine and/or high degeneracy, that recovered more than 95% of 24 the species in the mock community. Results from the Malaise trap sample were congruent with the mock community, but primer sets generating short amplicons produced potential false positives. Taxon recovery from the 21 amplicon pools of the mock community and Malaise trap sample were used to 27 select four primer sets for metabarcoding evaluation at different annealing temperatures (40-60 C o ) 28 using the mock community. Temperature did only have a minor effect on taxa recovery that varied with 29 the specific primer pair. 30 This study reveals the weak performance of some primer sets employed in past studies. It also 31 demonstrated that certain primer sets can recover most taxa in a diverse species assemblage. Thus there 32 is no need to employ several primer sets targeting the same amplicon. While we identified several 33 suited primer sets for arthropod metabarcoding, the primer selection depends on the targeted taxonomic 34 groups, as well as DNA quality, desired taxonomic resolution, and sequencing platform employed for 35 analysis.
