Development of Interactive Student’s Worksheets to Improve Mathematical HOTS of Tenth Grade Students in Trigonometry Topic

It is undeniable that Higher Oder Thinking Skills (HOTS) have become the center of attention and essential skills needed, especially in mathematics today, but there are so many research shows that the average thinking ability of Indonesian students is still low. One of the student's low thinking abilities cause is teaching materials that still dominated by questions in the Low Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) category. Therefore, this study aims to develop valid, practical, and effective interactive student worksheets to improve tenth-grade students' higher-order thinking skills. This research used Research and Development (R&D) designs and methods guided by the ADDIE development model with five steps: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The data obtained from this study is quantitative and qualitative data, which was obtained from the interview, validation test sheet, students and teacher response sheet and pretest-posttest result. The assessment from experts from both the material and media shows that the worksheet is valid with 4.30 and 3.97 average scores. Furthermore, based on the questionnaire responses of teachers and students with the "Excellent" score category, it shows that the developed interactive student worksheet is practical. The interactive student worksheet is also effective in improving mathematical HOTS of tenth-grade students since there is a significant increase in students' mathematical higher-order thinking skills based on student learning outcomes with 0.64 value of N-Gain. Besides the N-Gain, the students' response through the learning after using the interactive worksheet was also in the "Excellent" category, with an average score of 4.54 in the small trial and 4.27 in the field trial. Therefore, this study has produced a valid, practical, and effective interactive student worksheet to improve tenth-grade students' mathematical Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS).
Genomic Survey of Heat Shock Proteins in Liriodendron chinense Provides Insight into Evolution, Characterization, and Functional Diversities

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are conserved molecular chaperones whose main role is to facilitate the regulation of plant growth and stress responses. The HSP gene family has been characterized in most plants and elucidated as generally stress-induced, essential for their cytoprotective roles in cells. However, the HSP gene family has not yet been analyzed in the Liriodendron chinense genome. In current study, 60 HSP genes were identified in the L. chinense genome, including 7 LchiHSP90s, 23 LchiHSP70s, and 30 LchiHSP20s. We investigated the phylogenetic relationships, gene structure and arrangement, gene duplication events, cis-acting elements, 3D-protein structures, protein–protein interaction networks, and temperature stress responses in the identified L. chinense HSP genes. The results of the comparative phylogenetic analysis of HSP families in 32 plant species showed that LchiHSPs are closely related to the Cinnamomum kanehirae HSP gene family. Duplication events analysis showed seven segmental and six tandem duplication events that occurred in the LchiHSP gene family, which we speculated to have played an important role in the LchiHSP gene expansion and evolution. Furthermore, the Ka/Ks analysis indicated that these genes underwent a purifying selection. Analysis in the promoter region evidenced that the promoter region LchiHSPs carry many stress-responsive and hormone-related cis-elements. Investigations in the gene expression patterns of the LchiHSPs using transcriptome data and the qRT-PCR technique indicated that most LchiHSPs were responsive to cold and heat stress. In total, our results provide new insights into understanding the LchiHSP gene family function and their regulatory mechanisms in response to abiotic stresses.
Children Prefer Familiar Fantasy, but not Anthropomorphism, in Their Storybooks

ABSTRACT Children’s storybooks often contain fantasy elements, from dragons and wizards to anthropomorphic animals that wear clothes, talk, and behave like humans. These elements can impact children’s learning from storybooks both positively and negatively, perhaps due in part to their ability to capture children’s interest and attention. Prior research has found that children prefer realistic to make-believe stories, but little is known about children’s preferences for anthropomorphic characters. The present study examines U.S. children’s preferences for fantasy and anthropomorphism in storybooks. Seventy-two 4- to 6-year-old children (M = 65.74 months, SD = 10.84 months) were presented with 10 pairs of books (fantasy/anthropomorphic vs. realistic) and asked to select which book they liked better and why. Children chose fantasy but not anthropomorphic animal stories significantly more often than expected by chance. Children’s preferences were not related to age or gender, and they most often justified their choices with references to the storyline. Implications for creating and selecting media are discussed, since children learn best when learning materials align with their interests.
Identification of factors for developing going concern prediction models

Abstract The study aimed to identify factors that can be used in models that predict going concern of enterprises. The study employed the best-worst method of multi-criteria decision-making technique to evaluate and rank the factors. Twenty-one potential determinants were identified from the literature reviewed. Twelve decision-makers with rich experience and different professional backgrounds scrutinised and ranked the factors that affect going concern of organisations. A linear BWM solver was used to determine the optimal weights of each category. Liquidity and profitability ratios emerged as the two best determinants that are key in predicting going concern. The current ratio emerged as the overall critical determinant, while board independence measured as the ratio of non-executive board members to total board members popped up as the influential corporate governance variable for determining going concern. It is, therefore, recommended that going concern models should incorporate liquidity and profitability ratios as well as corporate governance issues.
Morphometric Analysis of Collagen in Different Grades of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Using Picrosirius Red Stain and Spectrophotometry

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most formidable health problems for mankind. These carcinomas are characterized by invasion of epithelial tumor cells into the stroma, which get embedded in extracellular matrix and collagen producing reactive changes. Such changes in the stroma may alter the biological aggressiveness of the tumor. An attempt was made to evaluate the collagen changes in different grades of OSCC which can contribute to understanding the biologic behavior of oral cancer and predict clinical outcomes. Aims and Objectives: To assess the quantitative changes in collagen in different grades of OSCC using hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) and Picrosirius red (PSR) stain through spectrophotometry and to compare the efficacy of these stains for estimation of collagen. Materials and Methods: The study comprised a total sample size of 60, which were distributed under 4 different groups, each containing 15 samples. Group I to IV consisted of normal buccal mucosa, with well-, moderately-, and poorly-differentiated OSCC, respectively. The tissues of 10 μm thickness were stained with H and E and PSR for spectrophotometric analysis. Results: The quantity of collagen decreased with increasing grades of OSCC. Comparison between two stains showed that PSR can provide a more reliable and accurate result than H and E. Conclusion: Collagen estimation is one of the methods to assess the progression of tumor. The method used in the present study for collagen estimation in different grades of OSCC is reliable and accurate.
Research on Language Teachers’ Emotion Labour and Emotional Well-being.  A Critical Analysis and Suggestions for Further Research

This critical overview examines the body of literature on language instructors’ emotion labour, with the aim of providing insights into the aspects of teachers’ work that positively and negatively impact their emotional well-being, as well as possible strategies to help them flourish. Research in this novel area was divided into three broadly chronological categories for analysis: pioneering studies, qualitative studies with a specific focus, and more methodologically diverse studies. The findings indicated that societal attitudes influenced the institution, resulting in differing levels of pressure or support experienced by the teachers. Emotion labour was found to stem from teachers’ beliefs conflicting with those held at an institutional level or beyond, as well as from interactions with the learners, and could have positive and/or negative outcomes. One of the worst possible outcomes is burn-out. Agency, empathy, and reflection were among the strategies to emerge with the potential to neutralise negative outcomes. The article concludes with suggestions for further research.
Gender and Race-Based Health Disparities in COVID-19 Outcomes among Hospitalized Patients in the United States: A Retrospective Analysis of a National Sample

COVID-19 has brought the disparities in health outcomes for patients to the forefront. Racial and gender identity are associated with prevalent healthcare disparities. In this study, we examine the health disparities in COVID-19 hospitalization outcome from the intersectional lens of racial and gender identity. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) 2020 NIS dataset for hospitalizations from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 was analyzed for primary outcome of in-patient mortality and secondary outcomes of intubation, acute kidney injury (AKI), AKI requiring hemodialysis (HD), cardiac arrest, stroke, and vasopressor use. A multivariate regression model was used to identify associations. A p value of <0.05 was considered significant. Men had higher rates of adverse outcomes. Native American men had the highest risk of in-hospital mortality (aOR 2.0, CI 1.7–2.4) and intubation (aOR 1.8, CI 1.5–2.1), Black men had highest risk of AKI (aOR 2.0, CI 1.9–2.0). Stroke risk was highest in Asian/Pacific Islander women (aOR 1.5, p = 0.001). We note that the intersection of gender and racial identities has a significant impact on outcomes of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in the United States with Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) men have higher risks of adverse outcomes.
The geochronology, geochemistry and petrogenesis of ca. 2.65 Ga tonalites and ca. 2.61 Ga amphibolites in the Jiefangyingzi area: Implications for the northern boundary of the North China craton

The Bayan Obo–Duolun–Chifeng–Kaiyuan (BDCK) Fault is considered the boundary between the North China Craton (NCC) and Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). However, the site of this boundary from Duolun to Chifeng and Kaiyuan remains highly controversial. Here, we present an integrated study of petrology, whole‐rock geochemistry, and zircon U–Pb and Sr–Nd–Hf isotope compositions for tonalites and amphibolites in the Bainaimiao arc belt (BAB) to better constrain the northern NCC margin. The tonalites are similar to NCC tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorites (TTGs), characterized by relatively high Na2O/K2O and Sr/Y ratios and fractionated rare earth element (REE) patterns, with high light REE (LREE) but low heavy REE (HREE) concentrations. Laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) zircon U–Pb dating yields formation ages of 2599–2674 Ma, with a weighted average of 2649.6 ± 3.7 Ma. The εHf(t) values (3.5–7.5), two‐stage model ages (2673–2793 Ma), whole‐rock positive εNd(t) values (1.3–1.9), and two‐stage model ages (2841–2880 Ma) suggest that the Neoarchean tonalites likely originated from remelting of thickened Meso‐Neoarchean mafic crust. LA–ICP–MS U–Pb isotope data reveal that the amphibolites formed at ~2610 Ma. They have high‐Fe tholeiitic compositions and are close to normal mid‐ocean ridge basalt (N‐MORB)‐like rocks, indicating that they were generated from partial melting of the depleted mantle. The existence of Neoarchean basement rocks, combined with seismic and isotope data, suggests that the Jiefangyingzi area is part of the Trans‐North China Orogen (TNCO) in the NCC rather than part of the CAOB and that the northern boundary of the NCC in Chifeng is located north to the Jiefangyingzi area.
Phosphate Sorption Modeling And Sorption Isotherms For Evaluating Phosphate Requirement Of Pineapple On Some Acid Sands In Southeastern Nigeria

Phosphorus applied to tropical soils is usually easily rendered unavailable to plants because of the high fixing power of these soils. Fox et al. (1968) fitted adsorption data into the linear form of Langmuir adsorption equation and obtained adsorption maxima of 2583 and 2715mg/kg for two Hawaiian soils. Similarly, high phosphorus adsorptions have been obtained for other latosols. In satisfying the phosphorus needs of plants therefore, adequate allowance must be made for P adsorption. While latosols generally have high phosphorus fixing capacity, it does not seem probable that tropical surface sandy soils as found in the pineapple growing areas of southern Nigeria would adsorb phosphorus very highly (Humphreys and Pritchett, 1970; Fox and Kamprath, 1970; IITA, 2007). Udo and Uzu (1972) studied the characteristics of phosphorus adsorption in ten Nigerian soils and found that the capacity to absorb phosphorus varied among the soils, but in general the more strongly weathered soils from the eastern area adsorbed more phosphorus than those from the western Nigeria area. The known pineapple producing soil used (Akpabuyo acid sands) is far from typical. The pH (1:1 soil water ratio) of this soil was 3.70 while the pH of the basement complex soil is usually in the range 4.0 + Abstract: Phosphorus adsorption studies were carried out in May 2014 on some soils supporting the pineapple production in Cross River State, Southern Nigeria. All the soils sorbed from little to moderately large amounts of phosphate. The phosphorus adsorption maxima as determined from linear plots of Langmuir adsorption equation ranged from 95 to 356mg/kg P, the soils derived from basement complex rocks having higher adsorption maxima than the acid sand soils. P adsorption was significantly correlated with Al and Fe sesquioxides, exchangeable Al as well as clay content. The Al and Fe sesquioxides both accounted for 68.0 percent of the variation observed in phosphate sorption. Phosphorus requirements of the pineapple in the soils estimated from P adsorption isotherms at 0.2mg/kg supernatant P concentration ranged from 0.103 to 0.318kg super phosphate per sucker of pineapple and were significantly correlated with the relative yield data obtained from the field experiments. The indication therefore was that the values obtained approximately or are closely related to the true phosphate requirement of the pineapple in these soils. The more strongly phosphorus adsorbing soils, the ferruginous soils of Iwuru and Idomi had P adsorption maxima of 356 and 315mg/kg respectively.
Local Field Theory and Isospin Invariance. I. Free‐Field Theory of Spinless Bosons

The properties of free‐field theories of spinless bosons are investigated. The self‐conjugate boson field theories of isospin ½, 32, 52, ⋯ are shown to be nonlocal: the energy, isospin, and number densities fail to commute for spacelike separations. The difficulty is traced to the necessary occurrence of non‐independent field variables. For the anomalous case the dependent variables are nonlocally related to the independent ones; elimination of the former makes superficially local quantities depend nonlocally on the independent fields. The connection with canonical field theory is investigated. The p and q coordinates have anomalous commutation relations in the nonlocal case. Although the Hamiltonian appears normal in every case, the anomalous theories are characterized by zero (integrated) Lagrangian. Antiparticle conjugation is investigated in detail with attention to phase questions. For anomalous theories two types of conjugation are found, one of which nonlocally relates the field to a superposition .
Systems of convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations with implicit obstacles and the obstacle problem

Aim of this paper is to show that some of the results in the weak KAM theory for $1^{s t}$ order convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations (see [11], [13]) can be extended to systems of convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations with implicit obstacles and to the obstacle problem. We obtain two results: a comparison theorem for systems lacking strict monotonicity; a representation formula for the obstacle problem involving the distance function associated to the Hamiltonian of the equation.
Comparison of COVID-19 and RSV Infection Courses in Infants and Children under 36 Months Hospitalized in Paediatric Department in Fall and Winter Season 2021/2022

Background: The study aimed to determine the differences between COVID-19 and Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in young children hospitalized in the pediatric department. Methods: This retrospective study included 52 children with COVID-19 and 43 children with RSV infection younger than 36 months hospitalized in a pediatric department between September 2021 and March 2022. Clinical and laboratory findings, methods of treatment and hospitalization length were compared. Results: In the RSV group, significantly higher rates of cough (93.2% vs. 38.5%), rhinitis (83.7% vs. 50%), dyspnea (83.7% vs. 21.1%), crackles (69.8% vs. 5.8%) and wheezes (72.1% vs. 9.6%) were observed. The COVID-19 group had significantly higher rates of fever (80.8% vs. 37.2%) and seizures (13.5% vs. 0%). Patients with RSV infection had significantly higher rates of bronchodilator therapy (88.37% vs. 5.77%) and oxygen therapy (48.8% vs. 7.7%) and required a longer hospital stay (8 vs. 3 days). In admission, the majority of the patients from both groups were not treated with antibiotics, but because of clinical deterioration and suspected bacterial co-infections, antibiotics were administered significantly more frequently in the RSV group (30.2% vs. 9.6%). Conclusions: RSV infection in infants and small children had a more severe course than COVID-19 infection. RSV infection was associated with a longer hospitalization period and required more elaborate treatment.
Changes in some soil chemical properties in peatland after two years of fire in Kubu Raya, West Kalimantan

Peatland fire that occurred in 2018 are located in Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan. The fire was claimed to cause the changes leading to peatland damage. The initial study based on samples collected in fire period reported that there were some changes of chemical properties leading to peatland damage. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of land fires on changes in some soil chemical properties after two years of fires. Soil samples of fired and unfired peatland were subjected to soil analyses. Soil analyses covered soil pH, organic carbon (C), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and bulk density (BD). The results showed that after two years of peatland fires did not affect the changes of peat soil pH, organic C, P, Ca, Mg, K, Cu, Zn, Mn and BD. One plot of fired peatland showed that the weight of frond and leaf area of oil palm grown on it was not statistically different from those of unfired peatland. The results suggested some chemical properties return to previous equilibrium due to high buffering capacity of peat soil.
Mg II and Ly-alpha fluxes in M dwarfs - Evaluation of an acoustic model

Surface fluxes of Mg II and Ly-alpha from a sample of M dwarfs have been reported by Panagi and Mathioudakis (PM, 1992). In order to determine if acoustic effects can reproduce the fluxes in the least active ('basal') stars in the PM sample, we have constructed steady state models of plane-parallel atmospheres with T(eff) = 3000 and 4000 K including heating by shock dissipation. The models incorporate radiative losses in the chromosphere by solving the transfer equation for two strong lines (Mg II k and Ly-alpha). Predictions of standard weak shock theory are expected to overestimate the rate of energy deposition in the chromospheres of M dwarfs compared to the rate of deposition in F, G, or K dwarfs. In order to incorporate this effect in M dwarfs, we compute a series of atmospheric models in which, for a given T(eff), the standard weak shock dissipation rate is reduced by a series of factors F(r). Although the input acoustic flux F(mech) may in principle be determined uniquely by T(eff) and log g, the correct value to use in any particular case is not well known. We therefore use F(mech) and F(r) as parameters to construct a family of M dwarf models at various T(eff) and g. Comparing with the observed fluxes in the least active M dwarfs of the PM sample, we find that our models reproduce the observed fluxes of both Mg II and Ly-alpha best if F(mech) is close to the value predicted by Bohn (1984) and if F(r) is approximately equal to 10-20.
Characterization of Maithili duck in middle Gangetic plain of Bihar

A study was conducted in middle Gangetic plain of Bihar to evaluate the smallholder duck production systems in the regions. A total of 70 duck farmers in Bihar were selected for this study. The information were collected by using standard questionnaire and an interview. The majority of the farmers (60%) belonged to middle-aged category. Majority of duck rearers in Bihar rears the duck more than 20 years. The average flock size was 6.1±0.33. Ducks were raised under semi-intensive management system and mostly depend on scavenging for their nutritional needs in the study area. About 88.6% farmers provided some kind of housing for their ducks, usually constructed mainly from simple and locally available materials in their backyard. Farmers did not possess any permanent shelter. Majority of the farmers (94.29%) did not vaccinate against the diseases of ducks due to unavailability. In both drake and duck, body carriage was slightly upright and Bill shape was horizontal. The ducks are raised both for meat and eggs. The average annual egg production per duck was ranged to be 30–60 eggs per annum. The average body weight of drake and duck were 1.40±0.07 and 1.37±0.08 kg, respectively. The predominant plumage colours of the Head, neck, breast, wing, and tail were brown (43.75%), brown and white mix with or without white ring (53.75%), brown (80.00%), brown, black and white mix (57.50%) and brown (40.00%) respectively. The dominant bill colour were yellow (43.75%) and web colour were orange (56.25%) respectively in Maithili duck. Mosaic plumage colour pattern was predominant in Maithili duck of Middle gangetic plain.
Asymmetric Inviscid Modes of Instability in Couette Flow

An approximate solution of the equation which governs the inviscid modes of instability of steady flow between concentric rotating cylinders is derived. The problem is treated in the narrow‐gap approximation, and the solution is applicable over the entire range of opposite rotation rates, but is limited to the treatment of disturbances which are nearly axially symmetric. Numerical results are given for the limiting cases where the ratio of angular velocities of the cylinders approaches zero and minus infinity. It is found that the growth rates of unstable modes which are very nearly symmetric are always less than the growth rate of the corresponding axisymmetric mode.
