The Use of the KWDL Technique in Developing Grade 4 Elementary School Student Combined Operations

The ability to recognize one’s learning processes is important for learning mathematics as it helps learners to practice the thinking process of how each element works in solving mathematics problems. The K-W-D-L technique has emerged as a technique that could bring about metacognition in learning and it could be beneficial in elementary school mathematics education. The objective of the study was to examine the effectiveness of the K-W-D-L technique on the learning achievement of fourth-grade elementary school students in combined operations. The participants grade 4 students in a public school in the Thai educational context. They were cluster sampling methods. The instruments were a K-W-D-L learning management plan, a learning achievement test, and a mathematic problem-solving test. The statistics used in data analysis were percentage, mean score, standard deviation, one sample t-test, and effectiveness index. The results of the study indicate the effectiveness index of the learning management plan designed using the K-W-D-L technique reached the determining criteria. Moreover, both participants’ learning achievement and mathematic problem-solving abilities were found to be at the desired level of the class.
Comparison of energy consumption, CO2 emissions between normal concrete and UHPC in rural bridge application

Due to its outstanding mechanical properties and durability, Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) hasbeen gradually used for different types of structures in recent years. However, the analysis of environmental impacts and the assessment of the overall sustainability performance of UHPC applications is quite limited.This study presents the results of determining the total energy embodied and CO2 emissions causing the greenhouse effect of a rural bridge using UHPC compare to the normal concrete (NC) one by the life-cycle analysis (LCA) method. Environmental impacts are comprehensively considered at all stages from material production; materials and structures transportation; in-situ construction and installation; maintenance and repair during the service life; and finally demolished at the end of the project’s life. The analysis shows that the UHPC application in rural bridge construction can reduce the total volume of materials used by 40-58%, lower 65% total energy consumption and eliminate up to 76% CO2 emissions compared with a conventional concrete bridge. The results also confirm that using UHPC is a viable technical and eco-friendly option for rural bridge construction in Vietnam.
Equatorial noise emissions with a quasiperiodic modulation observed by DEMETER at harmonics of the O+ ion gyrofrequency

The analysis of ionospheric equatorial noise (EN) with a quasiperiodic (QP) modulation observed by the Detection of Electro‐Magnetic Emissions Transmitted from Earthquake Regions (DEMETER) spacecraft is presented. These EN emissions, also called whistler mode or fast magnetosonic waves, play an important role in acceleration of radiation belt electrons. A statistical analysis with 103 events shows that they occur just after intense magnetic storms. Usually, they are generated by unstable proton ring distribution close to the magnetic equator at harmonics of the proton gyrofrequency in the inner magnetosphere (2 < L < 8). But at lower L values down in the ionosphere three events have been analyzed and it appears that the EN waves are at harmonics of—or very close to—a O+ ion gyrofrequency which can be found close to or slightly above the satellite. The wave propagation analysis indicates that these emissions are coming from an area above the satellite. Concerning one event, the EN emissions are observed on several consecutive orbits and there is a temporal coincidence with observations performed by the Cluster satellites at higher altitudes in the magnetosphere. EN emissions at lower frequencies have been also observed by the Cluster satellites in the same longitudinal sector as DEMETER but at ~5 RE. The analysis of the Spatio Temporal Analysis of Field Fluctuations data on board C1 reveals that the magnetic field spectrogram has peaks close to harmonics of the local proton gyrofrequency as usually reported. It is shown that the DEMETER and Cluster EN waves have a similar QP modulation but with slightly different period and frequency.
Effect of Tillage Practices on Growth and Yield of Linseed Crop After Harvest of Medium Duration Rice Under Rainfed Midland Condition of Chhattisgarh

A field experiment was conducted at Research cum Instructional Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Raipur (Chhattisgarh) during rabi season of 2014–15. The experiment was laid out randomized block design with three replications. The treatment consisted of four tillage practices viz. T1-Zero tillage direct drilling of seeds and fertilizers at 2nd days after harvesting of rice, T2-Minimum tillage and line sowing of seeds at 3rd days after harvesting of rice, T3-Minimum tillage at 6th days after harvesting of rice, T4-Farmer practice broadcasting seeds and fertilizer at 12th days after harvesting of rice. The results revealed that the significantly higher plant population (118 m−2), plant height (53.84 cm), branches plant−1(1.96) dry biomass (2.49 g plant−1) and number of capsules plant−1 (22.25), number of seeds capsule−1 (8.53), seed yield (8.26 q ha−1) stover yield (19.21 q ha−1) have been found under treatment T1 (Zero tillage direct drilling of seeds at 2nd DAH of rice), but it was found at par with treatment T2 (Minimum tillage line sowing of seeds at 3rd DAH of rice). But, test weight (g) and harvest index (%) was not varied by different tillage practices. Treatment T4 Farmer practice broadcasting seeds and fertilizer at 12th days after harvesting of rice produced poorer values of all parameters.
CDEIR: Intelligent Routing for Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks Using BUG Algorithm

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used to monitor specific areas of the environment by networking multiple sensors and collecting data for analysis. However, due to limited processing capabilities, the collected data needs to be transmitted to a Base Station (BS) that has high computational power and storage capacity. As SNs are not directly connected to the BS, multihop data transmissions through other SNs are required to reach the BS, which leads to congestion and additional energy consumption. To address these challenges, we propose a novel algorithm called Congestion, Delay, Energy-aware Intelligent Routing (CDEIR) using the BUG algorithm. The CDEIR approach identifies congested nodes using a Directed Spanning Tree and avoids traffic through them by paving an alternate path. This approach minimizes delay and optimizes energy consumption while avoiding congestion, all within a short computational time. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the CDEIR approach through theoretical analyses and simulations.
Prenatal diagnosis in a fetuses with a clenched hands, overlapping fingers, and clubfoot due to MED12 deficiency in three affected siblings: A case report

A fetal clenched hand with overlapping fingers is more common in aneuploidy syndrome and was not well-documented in MED12 deficiency. This study reports the clinical and genetic findings of three affected siblings from a Chinese family. The chromosome karyotype analysis diagram shows that karyotypes of the three children were normal. Trio whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing verification found that there was a MED12 R296Q variant in normal mothers and their two offspring. A pattern of clenched hand with overlapping fingers (clinodactyly) and clubfoot was found in all the three affected siblings by three-dimensional ultrasound. The discovery of this case shows that even if the chromosome karyotype is normal, comprehensive prenatal genetic diagnosis is required when the ultrasound results show a clenched hand with clinodactyly and clubfoot symptoms.
Unsupervised Clustering of Geostationary Satellite Cloud Properties for Estimating Precipitation Probabilities of Tropical Convective Clouds

Understanding the growth of tropical convective clouds (TCCs) is of vital importance for the early detection of heavy rainfall. This study explores the properties of TCCs that can develop into clouds with a high probability of precipitation. Remotely sensed cloud properties, such as cloud-top temperature (CTT), cloud optical thickness (COT), and cloud effective radius (CER) as measured by a geostationary satellite are trained by a neural network. First, image segmentation identifies TCC objects with different cloud properties. Then, a self-organizing map (SOM) algorithm clusters TCC objects with similar cloud microphysical properties. Finally, the precipitation probability (PP) for each cluster of TCCs is calculated based on the proportion of precipitating TCCs among the total number of TCCs. Precipitating TCCs can be distinguished from non-precipitating TCCs using Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) precipitation data. Results show that SOM clusters with a high PP (> 70%) satisfy a certain range of cloud properties: CER ≥ 20 μm and CTT < 230 K. PP generally increases with increasing COT, but COT cannot be a clear cloud property to confirm a high PP. For relatively thin clouds (COT < 30), however, CER should be much larger than 20 μm to have a high PP. More importantly, these TCC conditions associated with a PP ≥ 70% are consistent across regions and periods. We expect our results will be useful for satellite nowcasting of tropical precipitation using geostationary satellite cloud properties.
Internalising precariousness: experiences of Georgian platform workers

Much has been written about the precarious nature of platform work, whether in high-income or less advanced economies. The lack of alternative employment opportunities and the high level of informal work in the latter are often assumed to be the key incentive for local workers to take on platform work. There is however little research on how exactly local conditions affect workers’ choices and most importantly on the factors making them accept the precariousness of platform labour. Based on 40 interviews with ride-hailing drivers in Tbilisi, the capital of the Republic of Georgia, this article argues that, rather than the lack of alternative opportunities, the poor quality of available jobs and the lack of social protection are the factors leading workers to accept and internalise precariousness, making the inherent features of app-based work seem normal.
Impact of living and working in the heat on cognitive and psycho-physiological responses in outdoor fly-in fly-out tradesmen: a mining industry study

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate complex cognitive function, manual dexterity and psycho-physiological parameters in tradesmen working outdoors in the mining industry during summer and winter. Methods: Twenty-six males working in a mining village in the north-west of Australia were assessed pre- and post-an 11-h shift at the start, middle, and end of a 14-day swing in summer (average daily temperature: 33.9°C, 38% RH; n = 12) and winter (24.3°C, 36% RH; n = 14). Results: Working memory performance did not differ between seasons, over the swing or shift (p ≥ 0.053). Processing efficiency and manual dexterity performance did not differ between seasons (p ≥ 0.243), yet improved over the course of the swing (p ≤ 0.001) and shift (p ≤ 0.001). Core temperature, heart rate, thermal comfort, rating of perceived exertion and thermal sensation were not significantly different between seasons (p ≥ 0.076); however, average shift dehydration was greater in winter compared to summer (1.021 ± 0.005 vs. 1.018 ± 0.006; p = 0.014). Conclusion: The ability to self-regulate the intensity of activity likely helped outdoor workers to thermoregulate effectively, minimising thermal strain during their swings and shifts, in turn explaining unaltered cognitive function and manual dexterity performance between seasons. Regardless of season, workers should receive education on dehydration and workplace risks to protect their health.
Microbial and Physico-Chemical Characterization of Cold Smoked Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), a New Product of Fishery

The aim of this study was to investigate the microbial and physico-chemical characteristics of cold smoked sea bass (CSSB), a novel italian fish product. The microbiological analyses showed the presence of bacterial contamination from the raw material, the environment, and the production process. The microbial spoilage population was dominated by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) associated with Gram-negative fermenting bacteria, including Photobacterium phosphoreum and psychrotrophic Enterobacteriaceae. Brochotrix thermospacta and Aeromonas spp. were also present; in contrast, mould and yeast were not detected (<2 CFU/g). High levels (6–7 log CFU/g) of LAB and total bacteria count (TBC) were observed from day 45 of storage; however, their presence does not seem to have influenced the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), which always remained below 35 mg N/100 g. Consequently, the product is acceptable until day 60 of storage, considering that the malonaldehyde index (TBARS) was lower than 6.5 nmol/g. Pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes were not detected. Currently, there is a growing demand for seafood due to its high quality and nutritional value. Cold smoked sea bass offers a source of macro- and micronutrients essential for the proper functioning of the human body. It is also rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. The WHO and FAO evaluated the benefits and risks and concluded that there is convincing evidence of health benefits from fish consumption, such as a reduction in the risk of heart failure and improved neurodevelopment in infants and young children when fish is consumed by the mother before and during pregnancy. The CSSB analysed in this study demonstrated to have health benefits due to long-chain omega-3 PUFAs and other nutrients, such as proteins, minerals, and vitamin D, which are sometimes difficult to obtain from other sources. The results show that CSSB has a high nutritional value and excellent microbial quality.
Reliability and Validity of the Indonesian Version of the McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale

Aim. To examine the reliability and validity of the Indonesian translation of the McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale. Background. The McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale is an instrument to measure nurses’ feelings about their job. Although the instrument has existed for a long time, there has been a lack of studies using this questionnaire in Indonesia due to the limitation of instrument validation in the Indonesian version. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the validation and reliability of the instrument. Methods. The instrument was validated with a cross-sectional study of 350 nurses. For purposes of transcultural adaptation and psychometric validation, a forward-back translation strategy was used in conjunction with an expert panel and a cross-sectional study. The validity of the construct was verified using confirmatory factor analysis, and the overall fit of the model was measured using the calculated fit indices. The standard deviation of the extracted variance was used to evaluate the convergence validity. Composite reliability and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were used to investigate the internal consistency of the study. Results. According to the results of the reverse translation, the Indonesian and original instruments are statistically indistinguishable. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, it was determined that the Indonesian version of the McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale adhered closely to the original structure of the English version. The convergence validity of the construct (0.44–0.74), reliability (Cronbach α = 0.69–0.93), and internal consistency (0.49–0.79) were rated highly. Conclusions. Good homogeneity and construct validity have been shown for the Indonesian translation of the McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale in the context of healthcare practice and research. Implications for Nursing Management. Nursing policymakers in Indonesia can use the instrument to inform the development of practice policies aimed at improving job satisfaction among nurses in the country.
How general functioning of family affects gambling-related beliefs: the mediating role of communication and the moderating role of impulsivity trait

Background Gambling behaviors can be exhibited by individuals raised in families with impaired parent-child communication and individuals with more impulsive traits. However, it remains unclear how gambling-related beliefs are modulated by impulsivity traits and parent-child communication styles. Methods A total of 95 adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) diagnosed via DSM-5 criteria with gambling disorder (GD) completed our questionnaire. Participants filled out pen-and-paper questionnaires that included basic demographic information, the Family Assessment Device (FAD), Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale (PACS), Gambling Attitude and Belief Survey (GABS), and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS). We used a moderation mediation model to explore the relationship between variables. The study results were considered statistically significant if p < 0.05, or the 95% confidence interval did not contain zero. Results The scores of the problems in communication with mother subscale (PCMS) of PACS were significantly positively correlated with the scores of GABS and the general functioning 12-item subscale (GF12) of FAD. The relationship between the scores of GF12 and GABS was completely mediated [β = 4.83, (1.12, 10.02)] by PCMS scores, and the BIS scores moderated this relationship: the predictive path between GF12 and PCMS scores [index of moderated was β = −0.25, (−0.60, −0.04)], and the indirect predictive front path between the scores of GF12 and GABS were significant only in subjects with low BIS scores. Conclusion These findings suggest that poor general functioning of the family may increase gambling-related beliefs as a result of communication problems with mothers, and this result is only significant for individuals with low impulsivity. When treating patients with GD, more treatment of mother-child communication issues and individual impulsivity may be more conducive to their recovery.
THE INFLUENCE OF PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE, RELIGIUSITY, HALAL AWARENESS OF PURCHASING DECISIONS ON HALAL PRODUCTS WITH ATTITUDE AS A MEDIATION VARIABLE

The rapid economic development has an impact on the emergence of new companies that ultimately increase competition between companies. Including in the growing and expanding halal industry. In business competition in the halal industry, companies can not only focus on halal products, but also need to understand other factors that can influence consumer behavior towards halal products. This study aims to determine the influence of product knowledge, religiosity, halal awareness of purchasing decisions with attitudes as mediation variables.This study was conducted on Muslim communities in Surakarta region aged 15 years and above, and the sample was 100 respondents. The determination of samples wasÂ purposive sampling techniques and data collection methods by surveying using questionnaires with google form. This research used path analysis, and for data processing was conducted with IBM SPSS Statistics 25. The results of this research show that product knowledge, religiosity, halal awareness have a significant influence on attitudes. In addition, attitudes also have a significant influence on purchasing decisions. However, the attitude is not able to mediate religiosity and halal awareness of purchasing decisions.
Reduction of poloidal magnetic flux consumption during plasma current ramp-up in DEMO relevant plasma regimes

The method for reducing a poloidal magnetic flux consumption of external coils is investigated to reduce the size of the central solenoid (CS) in the DEMO reactor. The reduction of the poloidal magnetic flux consumption during a plasma current ramp-up phase by electron cyclotron (EC) heating is investigated using an integrated modeling code suite, TOPICS. A strongly reversed shear q profile tends to be produced if intense off-axis EC heating is applied to obtain a large reduction of the flux consumption. In order to overcome this tendency, we find a method to obtain the optimum temperature profile which minimizes the poloidal flux consumption for a wide range of the q profile. We try to reproduce the optimum temperature profile for a weakly reversed shear q profile using six EC rays of 20 MW. As a result, the resistive flux consumption during the current ramp-up can be reduced by 63% from the estimation using the Ejima constant of 0.45 and the total flux consumption can be reduced by 20% from the conventional estimation. In addition, we find that the resistive flux consumption is closely related to the volume averaged electron temperature and not to the profile shape. Using this relation, the required heating power is estimated to be 31 MW based on a well established global confinement scaling, ITER L-89P. As a result, it is clarified that the poloidal magnetic flux consumption can be reduced by 20% using 20–31 MW of EC heating for a weakly reversed shear q profile. This reduction of the flux consumption accounts for 10% reduction of the CS radius.
Birth Size of Neonates and Its Association with Seasonality

The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between the season of birth and the birth weight and length of Bulgarian newborns. The weight and length data of 6517 (6098 full-term and 419 preterm) live births in 2000–2001 were collected from the birth registry of II Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynaecology “Sheynovo”, Sofia, Bulgaria. Statistical analyses were done using the SPSS 16 software for Windows: descriptive statistics; the t-test (p<0.05); One-Way ANOVA, (Tukey, HSD-test, p<0.05) and the Pearson’s correlation. The sunshine dura-tion data for 2000 and 2001 were collected at the Sofia Meteorological Station. The mean weight of Bulgarian neonates born in 2000-2001 was 3389.8 g in boys and 3261.8 g in girls. The average newborn’s length was 51.0 cm and 50.3 cm in boys and girls, respectively. In all seasons, significant gender differences were observed with a priority for boys (p≤0.001). The winter period was identified with a peak in birth length for both sexes, and spring and summer were the seasons with the lowest values for boys and girls, respectively. A significant positive correlation between birth length and the daily amount of sunshine during the prenatal period was found (p<0.001). Seasonal fluctuations influenced weight and length in Bulgarian neonates. The results obtained in this study can be useful in prenatal diagnostics, neonatal care, and health prevention of pregnant women and neonates.
Electric Currents in the Solar Atmosphere

We review historical and modern studies pertinent to the measurements, modeling, and role of electric current in the solar atmosphere. We describe how the electric current density is computed from the vector magnetic field measurement at photospheric and chromospheric levels and how it is modeled, using Nonlinear Force-Free Field (NLFFF) extrapolations, in the solar corona. Next, the roles of electric currents in plasma dynamics and heating, energy release, and acceleration and transport of nonthermal particles are discussed. We then consider some interesting properties of electron and ion components forming electric current in a multi-component plasma, the effect of the electric current on the Alfvén wave properties, current neutralization and redistribution during solar flares. We discuss present theories about the origin of electric currents from subphotospheric and photospheric motions. We conclude that evaluation of electric currents in the solar atmosphere has reached a high level of maturity and that accounting for the electric current is highly important for solar physics.
