ONLINE MEDICAL EDUCATION PERSPECTIVES IN KAZAKHSTAN AND CENTRAL ASIA

Introduction. Medical education should review online teaching methods so that doctors can use digital information effectively. Virtual education was well received during the pandemic, and teachers and students expressed satisfaction. However, male teachers and students adapted better than female teachers and students. Although online education has advantages, traditional offline education should only be replaced partially. Universities should focus on the development of virtual education and teacher training. Methods. We thoroughly analysed research works published on Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus from the creation of these databases until May 2023. Our search terms included "Distance learning", "Online education", "Medical education", and "Central Asia", and we limited our search to English language articles. We also reviewed the literature lists of all the studies we found to identify potentially relevant articles. We carefully read all the studies and articles we identified, paying attention to the authors' names and publication dates to avoid data duplication. Inclusion and exclusion criteria. To conduct a thorough search, we searched for research articles published in journals that undergo peer review and are written in English. We only included studies that involved medical students and excluded articles that did not relate to distance learning, were published in non-peer-reviewed journals, or needed to be written in English. Conclusion. Higher education faces similar challenges and opportunities in the post-pandemic era, despite variations in cultural backgrounds and educational systems across countries. Improvements are also needed in online medical education, which can be achieved through the development of online training courses, individual tracking, technical control, professional support, and specialised evaluation. Such improvements will make medical training more accessible and sustainable for doctors in all areas. Innovative technologies will be necessary to ensure high-quality medical education in the future.

Impact of KVK Training Programme on Knowledge and Adoption of Paddy Production Technology in Cuddalore District of Tamil Nadu, India

KVK is organizing various types of training programme as one of the important mandatory activities for the benefit of the stakeholders. To know the impact of the KVK Training programme among KVK Vridhachalam trained paddy growers, the study was conducted in the Cuddalore District of Tamil Nadu. 150 Paddy growers were selected as respondents from 15 Paddy growing villages by employing simple random sampling techniques. It was found that 58.00 per cent of paddy growers had a high level of knowledge as a result of the KVK Training programme. Similarly, it was observed that the level of adoption among farmers also increased, with the number of high-level adopters increasing from 20.00 per cent to 63.33 per cent. In contrast, the number of low-level adopters decreased from 33.33 percent to 13 percent. It is concluded that paddy growers should utilize the KVK training programme periodically to update their knowledge and skill for better adoption of paddy technologies for improving productivity and income.
GEOCHEMICAL PROCESSES AFFECTING GROUNDWATER QUALITY IN WADI SIDRI BASIN, SOUTH SINAI, EGYPT

he chemistry of groundwater in arid and semi-arid environments is typically influenced by a set of physical and hydrogeochemical processes that are commonly observed, including precipitation, interaction between water and rocks, and evaporation. It is important to accurately assess the amount and quality of groundwater recharge, as it affects domestic and agricultural activities. This study used traditional diagrams and correlation analysis to understand the hydrochemical processes in the Wadi Sidri basin, Sinai of Egypt and develops a method to estimate rainfall recharge. The trilinear diagram showed that Na and Ca predominate over Mg and K, while strong acids (SO 4 + Cl) predominate over weak acids (CO 3 + HCO 3 ). The Gibbs plot revealed that rock-water interaction is the primary factor influencing groundwater chemistry. The ion correlations between multiple selected ion ratios, including (Na/Cl)─(Ca/Mg), (Mg/Ca+Mg)─(HCO 3 /SiO 2 ), (HCO 3 +SO 4 )─(Ca+Mg), and (Ca/Ca+SO 4 )─(Na/Na+Cl) indicated that additional mechanisms, such as reverse ion exchange, direct ion exchange, as well as silicate and carbonate weathering and leaching of interbedded marine deposits influenced groundwater chemistry. The chemical activity diagram revealed that cation exchange processes involving an increase in Na at the expense of Mg control the cation chemistry of groundwater. This diagram, together with the saturation indices obtained by the PHREEQC program, indicated that groundwater is in equilibrium with kaolinite and gibbsite, but is only partially equilibrated with illite. The chloride mass balance method (CMB) was used to estimate the net groundwater recharge by rainfall. It was found that the overall estimate of the recharge for the whole areas was1.78 mm/y for 1981 to 2021 period with a total percentage of the fallen precipitation of 8.06%.
Plant Anatomy Practicum Assisted by Online Microscope Viewer to Enhance Students' Kinesthetic Bodily Intelligence

Initial conditions of plant anatomy practical learning at Wiralodra University indicate a lack of training in students' kinesthetic bodily intelligence. This is evident as students do not feel proficient in operating microscopes and determining microscope magnification, indicating a lack of trained kinesthetic bodily intelligence. Based on this issue, a digital microscope is needed to train students' kinesthetic bodily intelligence in plant anatomy practicals. The innovation of digital microscope technology is necessary as a supporting tool for plant anatomy practicals. The objective of this study is to develop an Online Microscope Viewer to enhance students' multiple intelligences in plant anatomy practicals. Considering the nature of the study as the development of an Online Microscope Viewer, the research design used is Research and Development. The study subjects consist of 185 second-semester biology education students from the Biology Education program at Wiralodra University, divided into five classes. The sampling method used is cluster random sampling, with two classes, Bio B (experimental group) and Bio D (control group), selected under the condition that the populations are homogeneous. The results indicate that the developed Online Microscope Viewer used in plant anatomy practicals is highly valid. The developed Online Microscope Viewer can significantly enhance students' kinesthetic bodily intelligence in plant anatomy practicals, categorized as high. There is a significant difference in the improvement of students' kinesthetic bodily intelligence between the class using the Online Microscope Viewer and the class using binocular light microscopes.
Electronic structures and dielectric function of (5, 5) CNT-C2H4O system: A first-principles study on the detection capability of CNT for gas sensing applications

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are known to have a wide range of applications in various fields of discipline. In this research, the ability of metallic armchair (5, 5) CNT to detect acetaldehyde (C2H4O) was investigated using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) as implemented in Quantum ESPRESSO with the Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA). Accordingly, it was found that C2H4O preserved the metallic behavior of the CNT. However, some bands are found to have overlapped in both the valence and conduction regions of the electronic structures of the resulting system that are mainly caused by the p orbitals of the oxygen and carbon atoms of the compound. These are further confirmed by the projected density of states (pDOS). Moreover, optical transitions are observed in both the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function caused by the interband transitions between the Van Hove singularities of the electronic structures. In all circumstances, this research has provided more insights into the potential gas sensing applications of metallic CNTs.
The synergistic effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and yeast isolated from fermented foods in reduction of aflatoxin B1

Abstract The presence of aflatoxins in food products can lead to health risks in human societies. Therefore, in the present study, the effect of yeast strains isolated from fermented products and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2‐NPs) was studied on aflatoxin reduction. Yeast strains were isolated from fermented products such as sweet fruits and dairy products and identified using biochemical, ascospore (testing by culture medium optimization V8 which is called V8NLF), and molecular methods. The probiotic activity of four selected yeasts was evaluated. Then, the effect of selected yeast isolates and TiO2‐NPs on reducing aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in the medium was studied by measuring AFB1 using ELISA and HPLC. The results of biochemical and molecular identification experiments indicate that the selected strain (Y1) is Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The selected strains showed good tolerance to different concentrations of bile salt, pH, and NaCl, indicating appropriate probiotic activity. It also showed antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, and Salmonella typhimurium. Selected strain and TiO2‐NPs showed AFB1 reducing activity in the medium and when combined, showed synergistic effects in reducing AFB1. TiO2‐NPs in combination with selected yeast strains have a high ability to remove AFB1 from the medium and, therefore, can be used for future studies.

Market Reaction Analysis of The Performance from The Winners of Asia Sustainability Reporting Rating Award Companies in 2019 – 2021

Social economic and responsible business is believed to provide opportunities to build competitive advantage, increase market share, and open new markets. This assumption shows that financial and non-financial performance influence the market reaction. The company's non-financial performance can be realized through CSR disclosures disseminated to the public in a sustainability report. On the other hand, the company's financial performance can be seen through the proxies of financial ratios of profitability, liquidity, leverage, and activities as measured using data from the annual report. This study aims to see the effect of the company's performance on the market reaction caused by the information. The sample in this study were all IDX-listed companies that won the Asia Sustainability Reporting Rating Award 2019-2021. So the writer has assumed that the sample in this study has an excellent overall company performance. The data collection methods are historical data sourced from the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). The data used in this research are the company's annual reports and the company's sustainability reports. After passing the classical assumption test stage, the data were analyzed using the multiple regression method. The results show that CSR disclosure, Current Ratio, and Debt to Equity ratio have a positive but insignificant effect. Meanwhile, the Return on Assets and Total Asset Turnover variables significantly positively affect the market reaction. This condition shows that even though the company has won social and environmental awards, financial performance remains a proxy with a more significant influence than non-financial performance.
Rainfall and runoff estimation using hydrological models and Ann techniques

Water is one of the most important natural resources and a key element in the socio-economic development of a State and Country. Water resources of the world in general and in India are under heavy stress due to increased demand and limitation of available quantity. Proper water management is the only option that ensures a squeezed gap between the demand and supply. Rainfall is the major component of the hydrologic cycle and this is the primary source of runoff. Worldwide many attempts have been made to model and predict rainfall behaviour using various empirical, statistical, numerical and deterministic techniques. They are still in research stage and needs more focussed empirical approaches to estimate and predict rainfall accurately. Various spatial interpolation techniques to obtain representative rainfall over the entire basin or sub-basins have also been used in the past. In the present work, estimation of mean rainfall over the Mahanadi basin lying in Odisha and its sub-basins has been done using different deterministic and geo-statistical methods including nearest neighbourhood, Spline, Inverse-distance weighting, and Kriging techniques. Different thematic maps for the study area have been developed for water resources assessment, planning and development analysis.
BRIDGING THE EMPATHY GAP: IMPROVING DESIGN EMPATHY ACROSS CULTURAL BARRIERS

Human-Centred Design (HCD) has become a key component of design teaching over the last thirty years. Central to HCD is the concept of design empathy, and many techniques and tools have been developed in order to encourage and help designers to gain a greater understanding of the specific difficulties, desires and behaviours of their target users. Bournemouth University (BU) Design and Engineering students have long been encouraged to make use of HCD techniques as part of their creative design process. However, their work alongside the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) in developing products aimed at Low-to-Middle Income Countries (LMIC’s) has highlighted shortfalls in these techniques, which are often more suited to designing for the elderly or disabled rather than users from an unfamiliar cultural, social or economic background. Furthermore, an Empathy Quotient survey of level 6 Design and Engineering students at BU indicated that empathy levels were no higher than the national average despite years of exposure to HCD methods. After a collaborative project in Tanzania during which local partners were introduced to using HCD tools to encourage design empathy, the authors facilitated an ideation project using postgraduate Design and Engineering students from BU. This paper explores the issues in improving design communication and empathy across cultural barriers. Using data obtained from the UK students the authors investigate the perceived value of empathic tools, whether modern and emerging technologies could offer ways to bridge the cultural empathy gap, or whether in-country upskilling in design methods offers a more sustainable solution.
SUSTAINABLE PROTOTYPING CHALLENGES IN DIGITAL FABRICATION DESIGN EDUCATION

Education in digital fabrication design involves an active learning environment where ideas are transformed into prototypes. The way design activities are carried out and the kinds of outputs are all impacted by this environment. Knowledge concerning sustainability practices and how it affects students’ learning and skill acquisition is scarce. Therefore, the main goal of this study was to examine and evaluate learners’ sustainability practices and educational experience in a digital fabrication class. A seven-week first-year university course covered the fundamentals of design and digital fabrication, including electronics design, embedded programming, 2D design, and 3D design. Students were encouraged to create and implement their own ideas by designing and building a physical prototype that interacts with its surroundings. They worked in teams and were required to document their process on a weekly basis. The documentation and the final design prototype were the main deliverables of the course. Sustainability requirements were integrated as evaluation criteria, including the use of sustainable materials, reusing components, building instead of buying, and easy-to-reuse project components. Data collected from student documentation, surveys, and prototypes were analysed to identify sustainable practices and learning aspects. Findings showed that sustainability as a process and sustainability about the final prototype should be addressed differently. This requires timely actions on sustainability by both students and instructors. Intervention programs should be aware of sustainability issues in digital fabrication without compromising design education, iterative prototyping, and learning.
The Possible Protective Effect of Resveratrol Alone or in Combination with Metformin on Diabetic Cardiomyopathy in Adult Male Rats

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is commonly associated with metabolic alterations and various complications. Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural polyphenolic compound with multiple beneficial activities. The current study investigated the potential cardioprotective role of RSV, administered alone or with a standard anti-diabetic drug, metformin (MET), in type 2 diabetic rat model. Type 2 DM was induced in the current study by administration of a high fat diet (HFD) and a single dose of streptozotocin (STZ). Male rats were classified into 5 groups; normal control, diabetic, MET-treated diabetic, RSV-treated diabetic and MET&RSV-treated diabetic rats. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), plasma insulin, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), cardiac injury markers, oxidative/antioxidative stress markers and apoptotic genes expression were measured. Cardiac histopathological study was also performed. Diabetic rats exhibited significant increase in FPG, insulin, HOMA-IR, troponin I, creatine kinase-MB, malondialdehyde as well as glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and BAX gene expressions, while a significant reduction in reduced glutathione and Bcl-2 gene expression was observed. These changes were coupled by marked histological alterations of the examined cardiac tissue in comparison to the control group. The altered parameters were improved by treatment with MET, RSV, or both. HFD/STZ resulted in characteristic metabolic features of type 2 DM with elevation of markers of cardiac injury, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Concomitant treatment with MET and RSV revealed synergistic effect in most of studied parameters, demonstrating that RSV could improve the medicinal efficacy of MET.
UvA-DARE ( Digital Academic Repository ) Webs in multiparton scattering using the replica trick

Soft gluon exponentiation in non-abelian gauge theories can be described in terms of webs. So far this description has been restricted to amplitudes with two hard partons, where webs were defined as the colour-connected subset of diagrams. Here we generalise the concept of webs to the multi-leg case, where the hard interaction involves non-trivial colour flow. Using the replica trick from statistical physics we solve the combinatorial problem of non-abelian exponentiation to all orders. In particular, we derive an algorithm for computing the colour factor associated with any given diagram in the exponent. The emerging result is exponentiation of a sum of webs, where each web is a linear combination of a subset of diagrams that are mutually related by permuting the eikonal gluon attachments to each hard parton. These linear combinations are responsible for partial cancellation of subdivergences, conforming with the renormalization of a multi-leg eikonal vertex. We also discuss the generalisation of exponentiation properties to beyond the eikonal approximation.
Knowledge Graph Embedding by Flexible Translation

Knowledge graph embedding refers to projecting entities and relations in knowledge graph into continuous vector spaces. Current state-of-the-art models are translation-based model, which build embeddings by treating relation as translation from head entity to tail entity. However, previous models is too strict to model the complex and diverse entities and relations(e.g. symmetric/transitive/one-to-many/many-to-many relations). To address these issues, we propose a new principle to allow flexible translation between entity and relation vectors. We can design a novel score function to favor flexible translation for each translation-based models without increasing model complexity. To evaluate the proposed principle, we incorporate it into previous method and conduct triple classification on benchmark datasets. Experimental results show that the principle can remarkably improve the performance compared with several state-of-the-art baselines.
