Investigation of University Students' in-Class Smartphones Usage with Association Rules

This study aimed to investigate the university students' usage of smartphones in-class and reveal the relationships among the frequency of use, the purpose of use, reasons for the smartphone using in course, and demographic variables (gender and class). To achieve this aim, we used the correlational survey model. The study sample was selected from the students studying in an Education Faculty of a University in the east of Turkey in the spring semester of 2019-2020 academic year. The sample determined by the snowball sampling method consisted of a total of 577 students. The survey technique was used to collect data. The descriptive and relation analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Frequency and percentage calculations were made for descriptive analysis. For relational analysis, the association rule, one of the data mining methods, was used. It has been revealed that most of the students use their smartphones occasionally and mostly in messages, to do research and connect to social networks. It was observed that the main reasons that motivated students to use their smartphones in the courses were doing research about the course and using them in emergencies. Besides, students gave close answers about the effect of smartphone use on academic performance, and most of the students stated that they did not have difficulty focusing when using smartphones in the courses. Some students also stated that they did not use the phone as it distracted them, and it was forbidden to use it in the course. Results revealed that the boring course, negative attitudes towards the lecturer, and the course cause students to message and connect to social media. It was concluded that the occasional use of smartphones in the courses in cases of emergency and messaging does not affect students' academic performance and does not cause any problems in focusing on the course. Besides, most people who use their smartphones for researching, reading news, and messaging in the courses stated that they use their smartphones for educational purposes. Some suggestions were developed at the end of the study based on the results.

Generating Teaching Innovation Among Teachers: What is the Role of School Administrators?

Innovation is a skill that employees must possess in the future. Teachers must also have the expertise to innovate so that the quality of teaching provided reaches the set standards. However, various constraints have to be faced by teachers making it difficult for them to innovate. However, there are a handful of teachers successfully detected to consistently produce innovation. This phenomenon is interesting to explore. This study was conducted to explore the role played by administrators at the school level in stimulating innovative teachers to innovate. This study was conducted in the form of a case study. Data were collected through semi -structured and in -depth interviews. Findings show that administrators in schools take five roles to stimulate the production of innovation among teachers, namely; 1) as a trigger for an innovative work culture, 2) verbal communication, 3) leveraging innovation in school programs, 4) equally innovating, and 5) leveraging existing innovative teacher expertise. The findings of the study provide guidance to administrators to devise steps to successfully create an innovative teaching culture in their schools.
RangeSeg: Range-Aware Real Time Segmentation of 3D LiDAR Point Clouds

Semantic outdoor scene understanding based on 3D LiDAR point clouds is a challenging task for autonomous driving due to the sparse and irregular data structure. This paper takes advantages of the uneven range distribution of different LiDAR laser beams to propose a range aware instance segmentation network, RangeSeg. RangeSeg uses a shared encoder backbone with two range dependent decoders. A heavy decoder only computes top of a range image where the far and small objects locate to improve small object detection accuracy, and a light decoder computes whole range image for low computational cost. The results are further clustered by the DBSCAN method with a resolution weighted distance function to get instance-level segmentation results. Experiments on the KITTI dataset show that RangeSeg outperforms the state-of-the-art semantic segmentation methods with enormous speedup and improves the instance-level segmentation performance on small and far objects. The whole RangeSeg pipeline meets the real time requirement on NVIDIA JETSON AGX Xavier with 19 frames per second in average.
Influence of Different Depth of Tillage on Carbon Sequestration in the Soil of Rainforest Zone, Ekiti State

One of the strategies accepted globally for mitigating a high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) that causes global warming is carbon storage in the soil. Effect of Carbon storage in the soil and tillage practices are important in plant growth. Because of this, the research was based on determining the effects of different depths of tillage practice on carbon sequestration in the soil;the site was selected and cleared before the tillage practice operation was done at depth of 0cm (control) 10cm, 20cm, 30 cm. Two soil profiles of 1 m x 1m x1m were dug in each of the tillage depths, soil samples were collected from each horizon for laboratory analysis. Some physical and chemical properties of soil in each horizon were carried out and the organic carbon stocks (SOC) were determined. The Pearson correlation matrix showed a significant correlation between organic carbon (OC) and SOC at 0 cm (control) while there is no significant correlation between OC and SOC at 10 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm depth. This indicatesthat the Zero tillage level has the highest carbon storage in the soil, the more the depth of soil tillage the more the loss of soil organic carbon to the atmosphere. Zero tillage practice is therefore recommended to enhance the SOC sequestration, high yield of agricultural produces and to avoid the escape of carbon to the atmosphere which results in climate change problems.
Load Balancing for Distributed Intelligent Edge Computing: A State-Based Game Approach

The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into edge computing could significantly improve its quality of service. Connecting them into a system can provide services for a wider range. However, due to the mobility of the crowd and mobile devices, the load imbalance issue of these interconnected intelligent edge servers (IESs) will cause severe impacts on their service performance. To this end, we investigate load balancing for the distributed IESs from the game theoretic perspective and propose a state-based distributed learning algorithm. Firstly, by modelling the IES cost as the deviation between its execution time and the system average execution time, we formulate load balancing as a state-based game where each IES competes to maximize its own utility. Secondly, according to the definition of the recurrent state Nash equilibrium, we prove that this game has such an equilibrium by establishing a potential function at each reachable state. Finally, we propose a state-based distributed learning algorithm to obtain the pure Nash equilibrium strategy of each IES. Then, an ordinary differential equation is derived to prove the convergence of the algorithm. In comparison with existing works, our approach could largely improve load balancing for the distributed IESs and thus enhance their service performance.
Infants who experience more adult-initiated conversations have better expressive language in toddlerhood.

To understand how infants become engaged in conversations with their caregivers, we examined who tends to initiate conversations between adults and infants, differences between the features of infant- and adult-initiated conversations, and whether individual differences in how much infants engage in infant- or adult-initiated conversations uniquely predict later language development. We analyzed naturalistic adult-infant conversations captured via passive recording of the daily environment in two samples of 6-month-old infants. In Study 1, we found that at age 6 months, infants typically engage in more adult- than infant-initiated conversations and that adult-initiated conversations are, on average, longer and contain more adult words. In Study 2, we replicated these findings and, further, found that infants who engaged in more adult-initiated conversations in infancy had better expressive language at age 18 months. This association remained significant when accounting for the number of infant-initiated conversations at 6 months. Our findings indicate that early interactions with caregivers can have a lasting impact on children's language development, and that the extent to which parents initiate interactions with their infants may be particularly important.
ORBITAL ANGULAR MOMENTUM ORTHOGONALITY BASED CROSSTALK REDUCTION

We report a reduction in crosstalk between a transmitting antenna and an adjacent receiving antenna due to the use of radiation patterns with different orbital angular momentum (OAM). This crosstalk reduction is based on the orthogonality between different OAM modes. To generate OAM beams, patch array antennas are designed using High frequency simulation software (HFSS). The designed antennas are fabricated and characterized. An experiment is carried out to determine the amount of crosstalk reduction achieved due to the OAM nature of the signals transmitted. The variation of this crosstalk reduction with the distance between the transmitting and receiving antennas is also studied. The results obtained are verified through theoretical analysis using simulations in HFSS. A maximum theoretical crosstalk reduction of 3.6 dB has been obtained, and a crosstalk reduction of 2.6 dB has been realized experimentally. The results may benefit full-duplex communication links.
Research on nitrogen enriched air flow of on-board inert gas generating system

In the design of OBIGGS, the determination of the specific concentration of Nitrogen Enriched Air flow is very important. In this paper, the mathematical model of fuel tank inerting is established, and its correctness is verified by the test data. Then,the NEA flow is calculated under a specific flight envelope,and the influence of flight altitude and inerting time on NEA flow is analyzed. The results show that the inerting time should be greater than 10min in the design of OBIGGS.

We show the occurrence of bird-egg syndrome and the relation between the sensitisation to some molecular components and egg allergy. Methods: Egg allergy was confirmed according to the results of the challenge test (history) together with positive results of specific IgE to molecular components of egg and/or extract specific IgE to egg. Results and conclusion: Altogether 100 atopic dermatitis patients were examined – 48 men, 52 women, the average age 40.9 years. Reaction to egg was confirmed in 23 patients (23%); egg allergy was confirmed in 18 patients (18%). In these patients we recorded the significantly higher sensitisation to molecular components Der f 2, Der p 2, Equ c 1 and Phl p 7. The bird – egg syndrome was confirmed in 3 patients (3%).
Detection of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli (STEC) from Smoked Pork sold in Local Markets of Aizawl, Mizoram (India)

In the human gut, Escherichia coli is a part of the normal flora, but some strains they are pathogenic (Kim et al., 2020). STEC is critical for public health, potentially causing diarrhoea, bloody diarrhoea (hemorrhagic colitis), hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and kidney injury (Castro et al., 2019). STECproduced toxins are categorised as type 1 (Stx1) and type 2 (Stx2) and several subtypes and variants of Stx1/Stx2 have been identified on the basis of receptor preference and toxin potency (Melton-Celsa, 2014).
PRINCIPLE COMPONENT ANALYSIS (PCA) OF BEAN GENOTYPES (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) CONCERNING AGRONOMIC, MORPHOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS

This study was established in Bayburt University with 3 replications according to the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) pattern in Bayburt University Organic Agriculture Research and Application Treatment Area in order to determine the agro-morphological, biochemical and quality characteristics of 5 local bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes (Aydintepe, Mollakoy, Konursu, Yukarikirzi, Suludere) and 2 registered bean varieties (Ala Ciftci, Mispir). During the research, Principle Component Analysis (PCA) was performed on dry bean genotypes. The first principal component had 37.899% of the total variation (PC1). The second principle component (PC2) explained 19.975% of the total variation. The third principle component had 15.906 of the total variation (PC3). The cumulative ratio of the three primary components in total variation was 73.780%. In the first principle component, Carotenoid (0.905), Chlorophyll-B (0.798), Pod Number per Plant (0.745), Pod Length (0.701), Chlorophyll-C (0.684), Chlorophyll-A (0.608), Branch Number (0.563), First Pod Height (0.491) and Thousand Seed Weight (0.314) had the highest coefficients. The genotypes used in the study differ greatly from each other in terms of agronomic, morphological and biochemical characteristics. This is important for breeders trying to create variability, and it may be recommended to include these genotypes as genitors in breeding studies.
The Effects of Dynamic Capabilities, Entrepreneurial Creativity and Ambidextrous Innovation on Firm's Competitiveness

A firm’s competitive advantage generating from empowering its dynamic capabilities is very important for established companies and new business ventures in facing intense competition and in responding to unanticipated environmental changes. This study aims to investigate the relationship between dynamic capabilities of a new business venture and its competitive advantage and the effect of entrepreneurial creativity and ambidextrous innovation mediation on the relationship between dynamic capabilities and the competitive advantage of a new business venture. Data was collected using an online survey from 143 new Indonesian shipping agency companies that spread over two-thirds of Indonesia’s territory and was analyzed using structural equations modeling (SEM). The results showed that the dynamic capabilities of new business ventures are positively associated with competitive advantage but not significantly. This result indicates that empowering a new business venture’s dynamic capability is not sufficient to generate a competitive advantage. However, a new business venture’s dynamic capability is significantly and positively associated with the competitive advantage when mediated by entrepreneurial creativity and ambidextrous innovation. The findings of this study suggest that the competitive advantage of a new business venture can be gained from empowering a firm’s dynamic capabilities through mediating entrepreneurial creativity and ambidextrous innovation in facing intense competition and in responding to unanticipated environmental changes.
A survey on idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (ICTEV) managed by the Ponseti technique at Mulago Hospital - Uganda

Introduction Ponseti technique is the treatment of choice for idiopathic congential talipes equino varus (ICTEV) since 1950s with excellent treatment outcomes reported worldwide. However, despite the popularity of this technique, Uganda adapted it as a treatment modality for ICTEV in May 2005. Since then, the effectiveness of delivered Ponseti care to children with this very common orthopaedic deformity under the supervision of an orthopaedic surgeon was unknown. The implication of this undertaking was that, satisfactory outcomes would then support the Ministry of Health (MOH)-Uganda´s decision to embrace this mode of treatment and if the outcomes were unsatisfactory, MOH would then consider a policy revision in this regard. To assess the midterm treatment outcomes of children with ICTEV who had been enrolled for treatment at Mulago National Referral Hospital in the period of 2006-2009. Methods in November/December 2013, a cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the treatment outcomes of 68 feet of 45 children using the designed questionnaire and the PBS score; a pilot study of 10 neonates was performed prior to research. A good treatment outcome meant having a foot or feet that did not require any major or minor surgery. Results forty-five (45) children with 68 ICTEV feet were evaluated; males 29 (64.4%) and 16 (35.6%) females with a mean age of 73.22 months (SD 11.364, range 48-96 months). Among the feet assessed, 46 (68%) had good to excellent outcomes while 22 (32%) had a relapse of moderate and severe deformity. Good functionality was seen in 61.8% out of which, 69% and 55.9% had no limitation in walking or running respectively. Conclusion Ponseti treatment technique in children with ICTEV under the care of predominantly orthopaedic officers with some supervision from orthopaedic surgeons had fair to good midterm outcomes even in low resource settings like Uganda. Public health approach should be embraced in the management of clubfoot in Uganda by enhancing adequate comprehensive support supervision and establishment of reliable institutionalized systems for patient follow up which will lead to early detection and treatment of relapsed ICTEV cases or neglected clubfeet in the communities.
The Impact of Green Corporate Identity and Green Personal-Social Identification on Green Business Performance: A Case Study in Thailand

This study aims to investigate the impact of green corporate identity and employees’ green identification on green business performance of international automobile manufacturers in Thailand. It involves 400 employees from the target study area, using questionnaires to collect data from January to February 2021, with purposive and convenient sampling methods. Data analysis employed structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that green corporate identity has a significant impact on employees’ green personal-social identification and green business performance; meanwhile, employees’ green social identification has a significant impact on green business performance. However, employees’ green personal identification has a significant impact on green business performance only through employees’ green social identification. Green corporate identity can increase the corporate’ green business performance via economic, environmental and social aspects through employees’ green personal-social identification. The findings suggest that green corporate communication through visual identity, employee behaviors, culture, policy products and services in response to environmental forces and drivers to create the green corporate identity is deemed to systematically work. Furthermore, the findings also suggest that employees’ green identification on both personal and social levels can be a significant issue that the managers in automobile manufacturers should pay attention as well.
