The Use of Informational Technologies in the Outdoor Educational Activities in Times of Special Educational Situations

: In the modern educational systems, informational technologies had become part of the daily teaching learning routines. Outdoor education, as part of educational curricula, in most of the educational systems, uses informational technologies in order to make the instructive-educative process at all age groups more enjoyable and more efficient. During outdoor learning activities within the classroom experiences, there are lots of elements from the digital area that can be use& Being part of new educational types, outdoor education among with ITC, has become an imperative need to be practiced in the modern educational systems especially in times of special educational times. They are complementary, especially in times of pandemic when regular education types within the classrooms cannot be achieved. The present article shows practical ways in which informational technologies can be used within outdoor learning experiences and a brief research about the way primary school teachers within 3 schools from Arad County use informational technologies during outdoor educational classes. The main method used was the survey, based on the questionnaire instrument. There were 75 participants and the schools chosen belong to 3 different environments, such as city, suburb area and country side. The preliminary results show that teachers within the rural area use outdoor settings the least and also the modern informational technologies during their instructive routines.

Advanced Hybrid Beamforming Technique in MU-MIMO Systems

This paper proposes a high performance wireless commmunication technology in MU-MIMO systems. The millimeter wave (mmWave) communication technology was considered for the future wireless communication systems such as the fifth-generation new radio (5G NR). In 5G NR, the mmWave communication technology was studied to increase the use of wide bandwidth and the data rate. Therefore, MU-MIMO systems can be used in mmWave. To decrease the complexity of conventional digital beamforming system, the hybrid beamforming system was studied. In particular, the proposed hybrid beamforming system improves the error performance and average sum rate in partially connected structure (PCS) hybrid beamforming system. The proposed PCS hybrid beamforming system forms variously combined beam patterns using the information of azimuth and elevation angles for the multi-paths according to the number of bits. In addition, the azimuth and elevation angles among the formed beam patterns are estimated according to the received signal strength (RSS). In the simulation results, the proposed PCS hybrid beamforming system has better error performance and the average sum rate than the conventional hybrid beamforming system.
Genomic approaches for mapping and predicting disease resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Wheat diseases cause significant economic losses every year. To ensure global food security, newly released cultivars must possess increased levels of broadly-effective resistance against wheat pathogens, acceptable end-use quality, and high yield potential. Genetic host resistance stands out from other management strategies as the most viable option for controlling diseases. New genotyping platforms allow whole genome marker discovery at a relatively low cost, favoring the identification of novel loci underlying traits of interest. The work presented here describes genomic approaches for mapping and predicting the resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) and wheat rusts. The first study used biparental mapping to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance. A doubled haploid population (DH) was originated from a cross of Everest and WB-Cedar, which are widely grown wheat cultivars in Kansas with moderately resistant and moderately susceptible reactions to FHB, respectively. We confirmed that neither of the parents carry known large-effect QTLs, suggesting that FHB resistance is native. Eight small-effect QTLs were identified as associated with multiple mechanisms of FHB resistance. All QTLs had additive effects, providing significant improvements in levels of resistance when they were found in combinations within DH lines. In the second study, a genome-wide association mapping (GWAS) and genomic selection (GS) models were applied for FHB resistance in a panel of 962 elite lines from the K-State Wheat Breeding Program. Significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the percentage of symptomatic spikelets were identified but not reproducible across breeding panels tested in each year. The Accuracy of predictions ranged from 0.25 to 0.51 depending on GS model, indicating that it can be a useful tool to increase levels of FHB resistance. GWAS and GS approaches were also applied to a historical dataset to identify loci underlying resistance to leaf and stem rust at seedling stage in a panel of elite winter wheat lines. Infection types of multiple races of wheat rusts from the last sixteen years of the Southern Regional Performance Nursery (SRPN) were used in this study. A total of 533 elite lines originating from several breeding programs were tested in the SRPN during this period of time. GWAS identified significant SNP-trait associations for wheat rusts, confirming the effectiveness of already known genes and revealing potentially novel loci associated with resistance.

An Exploratory Analysis of the Characteristics of Ideologically Motivated Cyberattacks

ABSTRACT Web defacement is a form of hacking that involves altering the content of a website, resulting in repairs to the website code, loss of revenue, internal loss of productivity, and reputational damage. Limited research has examined the frequency of web defacements, the factors that distinguish them from other hacking motives, and the extent to which the correlates mirror research on physical acts of ideologically-motivated crime. The current study examined over 2.4 million web defacements hosted in the U.S. from 2012 to 2016 to assess aspects of routine activities theory associated with target selection and attack methods among ideologically-motivated defacements. A binary logistic regression analysis revealed that ideologically-motivated defacers were more likely to use unknown vulnerabilities; engage in repeated attacks; target top-level domains linked to foreign nations; domains ending in.edu; and homepages within websites. The findings of this study suggest that the target selection process of ideologically-motivated defacers are more purposive and designed to draw attention to their cause, resembling target preferences of individuals who engage in physical violence in support of an ideological agenda.
An Observational Comparison of Level of Neutral Buoyancy and Level of Maximum Detrainment in Tropical Deep Convective Clouds

Tropical deep convective clouds are important drivers of large‐scale atmospheric circulation representing the main vertical transport pathway through the depth of the troposphere for heat, momentum, water, and chemical species. The strength and depth of this transport are impacted by the convective updraft size and intensity that are driven by buoyancy, dynamical forcing, and mixing of environmental air, that is, entrainment. In this study, we identify tropical deep convective systems with well‐defined forward anvils using Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) ground‐based profiling radars, at three ARM fixed sites in the Tropical Western Pacific (TWP; i.e., Manus, Nauru, and Darwin) and three ARM Mobile Facility deployments in Niamey, Niger; Gan Island, Maldives; and Manacapuru, Brazil. We use the difference between the level of neutral buoyancy (LNB) and the level of maximum detrainment (LMD) as a proxy for the effective bulk convective entrainment (εproxy). The LNB, the theoretical height that a parcel raised above the level of free convection would reach with no mixing, is calculated based on preconvection radiosonde measurements using parcel theory. The LMD is the height of the maximum reflectivity observed in forward anvil clouds by profiling radars. Deep convective systems over the TWP show higher LNBs that extend to 16.3 km on average and larger εproxy (median value of LNB minus LMD up to 6.5 km) compared to their continental counterparts in the Amazon and West Africa. Oceanic conditions show larger convective available potential energy (CAPE) coupled with higher moisture at low levels, which favors larger εproxy. In contrast, continental cases initiate and develop, under high convective inhibition, steeper environmental lapse rate, and high wind shear conditions, which show smaller offset between LNB and LMD. Deep convective cases that promote significant cold pools at the surface experience less εproxy. Using a Random Forest regression algorithm, CAPE is associated with the highest feature importance score for predicting convective εproxy, followed by low‐level relative humidity. For continental cases, the low‐level wind shear also indicates higher importance.
Effect of Aloe resin on cell migration between Scratch and Boyden chamber assays

Effect of herbal medicine on cell migration is one of the therapeutic points. The objective of this study was to compare the Scratch assay with the Boyden chamber assay for evaluating cell migration with Aloe resin as the chemoattractant agent. Human gingival fibroblasts cells (2.5×105 cells/ml) were exposed to 0.02% (w/v) of Aloe resin in 6-well culture plates for the Scratch assay or in 24-transwell-culture plates for the Boyden chamber assay. Cell migration into the scratch area and at the bottom of a transwell insert after 24 and 16 h exposure to Aloe resin were stained with Toluidine blue O and Giemsa stain, respectively. Images of the migrated cells in each assay were obtained using a microscope and counted. The percentage of cell migration was 29.94±3.5 and 32.4±2.5 in the Scratch assay and Boyden chamber assay, respectively. There was no significant difference in cell migration between the two assays (p>0.05). The ICC values of both assays in 5 experiments were 0.767, 0.792, 0.816, 0.758, and 0.778. The strength of agreement for both assays was good. The Boyden chamber assay can be used for cell migration evaluation and generated results similar to those of the Scratch assay. Key words: Aloe resin, intraclass correlation coefficient, wound healing assay.
People With Lived Experience at the Centre of Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations: A Model for Guideline Developers

Actively engaging people with lived experience (PWLE) in stroke-related clinical practice guideline development has not been effectively implemented. This pilot project evaluated the feasibility, perceived value, and effectiveness of the Community Consultation and Review Panel (CCRP), a new model to engage PWLE in the writing and review of Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations. Responses to a standardized evaluation tool indicated that participants perceived the CCRP as valued, impactful, effective, and beneficial to stroke care. This project successfully demonstrated that values, experiences, and recommendations of PWLE can be effectively incorporated into guideline content and is applicable to all guideline development processes.

Antimicrobial Activity of Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Seeds on Some Selected Bacteria

Plants are reservoirs of different kinds of phytochemicals used for treatment of infections and other diseases. This study was aimed at evaluating the phytochemical and antimicrobial activity of Citrullus lanatus (watermelon) seeds against some selected bacteria. Water and ethanol were used to obtain the extracts and they were analyzed for the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins and saponins. Out of the phytochemicals screened, only saponins were not detected in both aqueous and ethanolic extract. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae were selected for antibiotic susceptibility testing. Antibacterial activity revealed that S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa were most susceptible to the extracts at concentrations ranging from 6.25mg/ml to 50mg/ml. Klebsiella pneumoniae was observed to be resistant especially to the ethanolic extract. Largest zone of inhibition (8 mm) was produced against P. aeruginosa using aqueous extract at 50mg/ml. Higher concentrations were generally efficacious than the lower concentration whereas, ciprofloxacin (control) exert better activity than either of the extracts. Results for the MIC and MBC suggest that the constituents of the extract could be bactericidal as they were in close range. The findings of this study showed that seeds of C. lanatus contained bioactive compounds with potent antibacterial activity and thus could be used as herbal preparations just as the other parts of the plant.
Disproportionate Corporal Punishment of Students With Disabilities and Black and Hispanic Students

Maintaining a safe and orderly school environment is challenging. In response, some schools resort to aversive punishments, including corporal punishment. Limited research has examined whether corporal punishment is disproportionately administered to certain students, particularly students with disabilities and black and Hispanic students. Therefore, we leveraged the most recent U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights data from the 2015–2016 school-year to evaluate disproportionate corporal punishment. We restricted the data to schools that reported at least 10 corporal punishment incidents and calculated risk ratios comparing students with disabilities to students without disabilities, and black and Hispanic students to white students. We then we estimated a series of robust variance estimation metaregression models and found evidence of statistically significant disproportionate corporal punishment administered to students with disabilities and black students. The largest risk ratio was for students with disabilities, indicating that they are much more likely to receive corporal punishment.
Mobilisation de l'acide arachidonique et sensibilité au peptide ß-amyloïde

La maladie d’Alzheimer (MA) est un probleme majeur de sante publique. Elle se traduit par des atteintes de la memoire reposant sur des dysfonctionnements synaptiques induits par les oligomeres de peptide s-amyloide (As). Ceux-ci activent la phospholipase A2 cytosolique (cPLA2) qui libere l’acide arachidonique (ARA) des phospholipides (PL) membranaires neuronaux. L’acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4) peut limiter cette liberation en favorisant la reincorporation d’ARA dans les PL. Dans l’alimentation occidentale, il constitue une part croissante des apports lipidiques. Contrairement a l’acide docosahexaenoique (DHA), l’influence de l’ARA dans la MA a ete peu etudiee. C’est pourquoi nous avons etudie la mobilisation de l’ARA et son effet sur la sensibilite au peptide As. Nous avons montre dans un premier temps qu’un apport alimentaire en ARA affecte la memoire a court terme et sensibilise les capacites d’apprentissage au peptide As. Ces alterations sont associees a des diminutions d’expression des recepteurs AMPA et de l’ACSL4, une proliferation astrocytaire et une incorporation accrue en ARA dans les especes de PL phosphatidylserine et phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). D’autre part, la differenciation des cellules HT22 nous a permis de montrer que l’ACSL4 intervient dans l’incorporation de l’ARA et dans l’equilibre ARA/DHA, notamment dans les especes PE. Cela indique qu’un exces en ARA dans l’alimentation peut constituer un facteur d’aggravation de la MA et que les enzymes assurant sa mobilisation, comme la cPLA2 et l’ACSL4, peuvent moduler ce risque. La caracterisation de leurs niveaux d’expression pourrait permettre de definir des groupes d’individus a risque vis-a-vis de la MA
Managing intellectual capital in healthcare organizations. A conceptual proposal to promote innovation

PurposeThe present article aims at rising stream of literature about intellectual capital in healthcare organizations, by exploring how knowledge-based activities are designed to promote innovation and create value. This process concerns not only buyers and sellers of industrial products/services but, more widely, larger networks of healthcare actors which include patients, payers and health institutions.Design/methodology/approachTo answer the research question, we adopted a conceptual approach aimed at reaching overall comprehension of healthcare innovation mechanisms. We have tracked the pivotal extant studies for catching the roots and dynamics at the base of diffusion of healthcare innovation. This article demonstrates, based on previous literature and theoretical speculations, the contribution that innovative knowledge-based activities (e.g. market access approach) make to intellectual capital in healthcare organizations to promote innovation and create value.FindingsThe results show that three knowledge-based activities of the healthcare ecosystem shape the basis of the proposed conceptual framework. First, a value co-creation strategy to develop capabilities for each health stakeholder is intended as human capital. Second, the market access approach to promote innovation is reported to the relational capital. Third, a digital servitization strategy is referred to the structural capital.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper provides implications for the stream of literature about intellectual capital in healthcare organizations. It aims at exploring three knowledge-based activities as value co-creation, market access and digital servitization that respond to different intellectual capital levels components (human, relational, structural). Originality/valueThis article provides a conceptual framework based on the linkage of two fundamental streams of management studies, which correspond to innovation diffusion and intellectual capital management. This offers a more solid conceptualization for managing intellectual capital in healthcare organizations with respect to previous studies and creates value in the ecosystem.
Asparagus azerbaijanensis , a new species of Asparagus subgen. Asparagopsis (Asparagaceae) from Iran

Asparagus Linnaeus (1753: 313) (Asparagaceae) is a genus of about 120 species (Baker 1875). The Iranian Asparagus species have been divided into two subgenera: A . subgen. Asparagus and A . subgen. Asparagopsis Kunth (1844: 35) Baker (1875: 595) (Browicz 1990). Eleven species were recorded so far for the country (Baker 1875, Iljin 1935, Parsa 1949, Wendelbo 1964, 1985, Davis, 1984, Browicz, 1990, Hamdi & Assadi 2009, 2012, 2016). While preparing an account of Asparagaceae for Flora of Iran, a putative new species from NW of Iran was found. This was confirmed by the study of herbarium material and field work.
Initiation and response of joint attention bids in autism spectrum disorder children depend on the visibility of the target

Background and aims Response to joint attention (RJA) and initiation of joint attention (IJA) are impaired in pre-schoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children’s response to joint attention may depend on the presence of the target in the child's field of vision or on the type of deictic index (head and eye orientation, pointing and verbalisations) used by the adult to initiate joint attention. Methods This study deals with 50 ASD children aged from 2 years 8 months to 11 years 7 months, with a communicative level comparable to children under 31 months of age, according to the French version of the Early Social Communication Scales (ECSP, by its French acronym). We compared the aforementioned ASD children with 50 typically developing (TD) children, aged 9 to 30 months who had no communication disorders according to the ECSP. During the ECSP test, we analysed joint attention behaviours on three posters present or absent from the children's visual field. Results We did not observe any difference in the number of IJAs between groups, but ASD children were less responsive than TD children were. Our results showed a developmental progression in the responses of children with ASD if several deictic cues were used by an adult simultaneously (looking and pointing, or looking and verbalising to indicate a target), whether the referent was present or absent from the child’s visual field. In addition, we observed developmental progression when the referent was behind the child and the adult only used their gaze to refer to it. Conclusion Thus, we argue that the type of cues used affects ASD children’s response behaviours during joint attention towards a referent that may be present or absent from their visual field. Implications: Regarding the social and the sensory difficulties of children with ASD, many therapeutic approaches focus their intervention methods on non-verbal communication skills and joint attention. This fundamental research makes it possible to identify the most appropriate type of deictic index for children with ASD with developmental delay, depending on the presence or absence of the referent in the child's visual field.
