TPACK VENN DIAGRAM: MEASURING THE BALANCE OF IMPLEMENTATION OF LEARNING MODELS IN ENTERING THE INDUSTRY 4.0 ERA (STUDY ON GEOGRAPHY LEARNING IN 2013 CURRICULUM)

This study tries to make a visualization of the three components of TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) mastery in the form of a venn diagram. The research method used is descriptive with survey technique. The instruments used were questionnaires and interviews. The location of the questionnaire study consisted of West Java Province, Bengkulu Province, and other provinces that were filled out online through Google forms. Subjects were geography teachers with 121 respondents. Data obtained through questionnaires were analyzed in a quantitative manner while interview data were carried out qualitatively. The results of the study can make a hypothetical form of TPACK venn diagrams to illustrate the TPACK mastery profile of geography teachers, namely the slices price of TPACK (25%), PCK (75%), TCK (35%), and TPK (15%). The implication of obtaining the data is that policy makers can improve the competence of geography teachers starting from training on TCK and TPK.

Influence of High Light Intensity and Nitrate Deprivation on Growth and Biochemical Composition of the Marine Microalgae Isochrysis galbana

Isochrysis galbana is a brown microalgae widely used as a feed for marine organism in aquaculture. The aim of present study is to investigate the growth, biochemical composition, fatty acid profile, photosynthetic parameters and antioxidant activity (radical scavenging activity) of Isochrysis galbana cells cultivated under different levels (sub-optimum; 50 ± 1.5,optimum; 125 ± 2.5 and supra-optimum; 325 ± 3.5 μmol photons m-2 s -1) of photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), and subsequently treated with different concentration of nitrate deprivation (8mM, 2mM and 0.5mM). The experiment was carried out under controlled conditions utilizing a factorial design 3x3 (light intensity and nitrate concentration). The result depicts that PAR positively influences the growth of Isochrysis galbana which is maximum under supra-optimum PAR. Nitrate deprivation (2mM & 0.5mM) induced decline in growth in terms of dry weight is observed as 60.1% & 61.9% in suboptimum and 26.5% and 34.9% in supraHIGHLIGHTS • Influence of abiotic stress on the biochemical composition of microalgae has considerable physiological and biotechnological importance. • High light conditions and nitrogen limitations enhanced lipid and carbohydrate productivity in Isochrysis galbana. • Limitation of nitrogen significantly decreased all photosynthetic pigments, TPC and antioxidant activity. • These stresses induce significant increase of palmitic, and oleic, acids and decrease polyunsaturated fatty acid except docosahexaenoic acid. 2 Mishra, N. ; et al. Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology. Vol. 62: e19180398, 2019 www.scielo. br/babt optimum respectively over the values recorded in their respective controls. Supraoptimum PAR decreased primary photosynthetic pigment Chl a and Chl c by 15.7% and 8.5%, whereas carotenoid content increased by 45.9% in supra-optimum PAR which displays potential interest as antioxidant agent in addition to total phenolic content and radical scavenging activity. The results suggest that combined stress of high light and nitrogen deprivation shifts the metabolic physiology from protein synthesis to energy reserve (carbohydrate and lipid) and accumulation of saturated fatty acid on expense of unsaturated fatty acid except docosahexaenoic acid. These valuable compounds exhibit potential applications in mariculture, nutraceutical and biofuel industry.
Outdoor Illumination Estimation for Mobile Augmented Reality: Real-time Analysis of Shadow and Lit Surfaces to Measure the Daylight Illumination

: A realistic illumination model in Augmented Reality (AR) applications is crucial for perceiving virtual objects as real. In order to correctly blend digital content with the physical world it is necessary to measure, in real time, the illumination present in the scene surrounding the user. The paper proposes a novel solution for real-time estimation of outdoor illumination conditions, based on the video stream from the camera on handheld devices. The problem is formulated in a radiometric framework, showing how the reﬂected radiance from the surface maps to pixel values, and how the reﬂected radiance relates to surface reﬂectance and the illumination environment. From this we derive how to estimate the color and intensity of the sun and sky illumination, respectively, using areas in the video stream that are in direct sunlight and in shadow. The presented approach allows for rendering augmentations that adapt in real-time to dynamically changing outdoor illumination conditions.
Del docente reflexivo al docente post-personal

Effective teaching is often connected to reflective practice. Reflection not only involves recording thoughts about what went well (or not) after class, but also to consider examples of potential bias in (re)actions to certain situations, and indeed, to one’s own evaluations of educational activities. This relates to the drive towards greater objectivity in education, and an emphasis on making educational practices and their evaluation explicit. In ‘Transcendence of the Ego’, Sartre (2004) outlines a theory in which a ‘pre-personal’ self produces itself through reflection. This production is unavoidable, and yet dangerous in how it is conflated with a more fundamental ‘pre-reflective’ state of being. This ‘pre-personal’ self, as the very foundation of consciousness, is only experienced in moments when one is fully absorbed in a task, conscious but unaware, uninterrupted by thoughts or reflections that might disrupt this ‘raptured’ state of being. Complete immersions in the task at hand find their place within educational settings, and thus, what Sartre deems as the move from the ‘pre-personal’ to the ‘produced’ self is relevant for teaching. But so too is what comes after that sense of exposure recedes. Such absorption in the task of teaching leads to might be called a ‘post-personal’ self and is often when moments of ‘good teaching’ can be found. But this proclivity for reflective action can disrupt the flow of such immersive events. This is dangerous for two reasons. Firstly, it frames teaching within a particular ‘temporality’ that fails to allow for the performance of teaching in the present moment. Secondly, it fails to account for what the experience of teaching entails. This paper attempts to argue for the space and value of such forms of suspension, and to call into question the overly metricised way in which teachers are expected to reflect.
The kaleidoscope of gentrification in post-socialist cities

Countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have transformed from a centrally planned communist system to a market economy and liberal democracy after 1990. The rapidly changing social and power relations have been gradually manifested in the spatial pattern of cities. After the turn of the millennium, a growing number of papers reported that the regeneration of inner-city neighbourhoods intensified, generating population change in certain areas. Authors writing on urban renewal and gentrification in CEE have been inspired by the typology of gentrification elaborated in Western contexts, even though historical legacies and specific local conditions set serious limitations on the use of such concepts. The aim of this paper is to scrutinise the essential features of urban change and gentrification in post-socialist cities, discussing the main pre-conditions for, actors in and the resulting types of this process. Existing literature in the field has been systematically collected, analysed and compared. According to our findings the classic stage model of gentrification cannot be used in post-socialist cities, partly because the process is still in its infancy and partly because several hybrid forms of gentrification-like processes hide the spatial effects of market-based renewal. The variegated forms of urban change are the result of historical legacies, path dependencies and a set of factors embedded in local contexts. The paper highlights some of the research gaps in the field.
INSIGHTS INTO THE ROLE OF MORUS ALBA IN REVERSING OBESITY-ASSOCIATED HEPATIC STEATOSIS AND RELATED METABOLIC DISORDER IN RATS

ABSTRACT Objective: The goal of the present study was to examine the viability of Morus alba (M. alba) ethanolic extract in repression of obesity-associated hepatic steatosis and related metabolic disorder; dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, and glycemic status. Methods: Adult female albino rats were randomly assigned into four groups, eight rats each as follows: Group (1) control group received standard rodent diet for 24 weeks. The other three groups administered high cholesterol diet for 12 weeks and served as obese group, M. alba-treated group, and simvastatin-treated group. Results: The current results showed an increment in thoracic circumference (TCX) and abdominal circumferences (AC) as well as body mass index (BMI) in obese group. In addition, dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance have been elucidated in obese group. Moreover, hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and bilirubin values were significantly increased in obese groups versus control group. On the other hand, administration of ethanolic extract of Morus alba or simvastatin could significantly lessen BMI and in addition to improve dyslipidemia in obese group. Glucose, insulin levels, and insulin resistance value in serum samples demonstrated a significant reduction in obese group upon treatment with M. alba ethanolic extract or simvastatin. Furthermore, noticeable depletion in hepatic MDA, NO contents, serum ALT, AST activities, and serum bilirubin level was recorded as a result of treatment with either ethanolic extract of M. alba or simvastatin. Histopathological examination of liver tissue showed ballooning degeneration in the hepatocytes (hepatic steatosis) associated with inflammatory cells penetration in portal zone in obese group. Meanwhile, the treatment of obese groups with ethanolic extract of M. alba or simvastatin was found to restore the structural organization of the liver. Conclusion: The present findings provide a novel aspect for understanding of the role of M. alba against obesity-associated liver diseases and related metabolic disorder. The mechanisms underlying these effects seem to depend on the hypolipidemic potential, anti-inflammatory property, and antioxidant activity of its phytochemicals. Keywords: Obesity, Morus alba, Dyslipidemia, Hyperinsulinemia, Hyperglycemia, Hepatic steatosis.
Introduction: troubling times

These are troubling times on both sides of the Atlantic. Immigration, Brexit, terrorism, the financial crisis, the election of Donald Trump, and the emergence of nationalism in the US and Europe have created ethical challenges for business leaders as well as most others. Populist political leaders have tapped into the feelings of voters who have been ignored by leaders, left behind during globalization, replaced at work by new technologies, and disheartened by social legislation in areas such as gay marriage and abortion. While some citizens in the US and Europe believed that the world was getting better, others silently watched in dismay. Meanwhile, we also see an increase in xenophobia, racism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia. The increasingly polarized political environment has made it difficult for leaders to reach a consensus about how to best tackle pressing questions about immigration, human rights, the environment, and the regulation of business and new technologies. This is a challenging environment, one where business leaders may sometimes be called upon to decide where they stand. In a speech, Apple CEO Tim Cook said, “The reality is that government, for a long period of time, has for whatever set of reasons become less functional and isn’t working at the speed that it once was. And so it does fall, I think, not just on business but on all other areas of society to step up” (Sorkin, 2017). His comment raises a cluster of foundational questions about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the role of business in turbulent times: Who should be responsible for what in a society? What are the responsibilities of businesses and business leadership to society? Moreover, do the responsibilities of businesses increase when there are social and political problems? And finally, what does it mean for a business to “step up”? This book brings together the work of twelve CSR and business ethics scholars from the UK and Europe and eight from North America to explore various facets of these questions. They offer a variety of cultural perspectives as they write about problems in their own countries and the broader questions about the role of business in society. The first chapter challenges the very idea that businesses should “step up. ” Maybe
Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) - A silent killer

Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) is a form of air pollution which is twice as deadly as all other types of air pollution combined together. ETS refers to exposure to tobacco smoke from someone else's cigarette, cigar, or pipe smoke. Breathing in ETS is known as passive smoking, secondhand smoke - SHS, or involuntary smoking. Although majority of Indians are fully aware of the health risks associated with smoking, but the fact that exposure to tobacco smoke released by someone else is also harmful is little known. As a result million of non smokers in India are slowly and silently being exposed to deadly levels of ETS. Tobacco smoke consists of 10% solid particles-tar & nicotine and 90% gases mainly carbon monoxide and carcinogens such as formaldehyde and vinyl chloride. Safe level of exposure to ETS has not yet been determined; however the exposure levels can be evaluated by estimating carboxy hemoglobin or cotinine levels in blood/urine or level of nicotine in hair. The harmful effects of ETS include cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, lung cancer, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, middle ear infection, eye irritation, sore throat etc, Nonsmokers living with smokers or those working in smoky atmosphere for long periods, asthma sufferers, pregnant women and children are more prone to health risks associated with ETS. Although stringent legislations exist in India but there is urgent need to strictly implement them. This along with mass awareness campaigns via media and educational institutes can help to achieve the goal of Smoke free India. The paper presents an appraisal of various aspects of ETS with special reference to India.
A phase 1 study optimizing the dosing of olaparib tablet formulation combined with cediranib in recurrent ovarian cancer.

5559 Background: PARP inhibitors and anti-angiogenics are clinically active in recurrent ovarian cancer (OvCa). Pre-clinical studies suggest these agents can synergize; a phase 2 study demonstrated that combination cediranib/capsule olaparib (C/O) increased progression-free survival (PFS) and response rate (RR) compared to olaparib alone. Olaparib clinical development will proceed using the tablet formulation; we therefore investigated the toxicities and recommended phase 2 dosing (RP2D) of C/O with olaparib tablets. Methods: Cediranib (C) once daily and olaparib (O) twice daily were administered orally in cohorts of 3 patients in a standard 3+3 Phase 1 design. Eligibility included pts with recurrent ovarian cancer. Pts had measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 or met GCIG CA125 criteria. No prior anti-angiogenics in the recurrent setting or prior PARP inhibitor were allowed. Results: 24 pts have been treated since May 2014 at 6 dose levels (C 20mg QD/O 200mg BID (3 pts); C 20mg QD/O 250mg BID (3); C 20mg QD/O.
An analytical model for the current voltage characteristics of GaN-capped AlGaN/GaN and AlInN/GaN HEMTs including thermal and self-heating effects

We present an analytical model for the I-V characteristics of AlGaN/GaN and AlInN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMT). Our study focuses on the influence of a GaN capping layer, and of thermal and self-heating effects. Spontaneous and piezoelectric polarizations at Al (Ga,In)N/GaN and GaN/Al(Ga,In)N interfaces have been incorporated in the analysis. Our model permits to fit several published data. Our results indicate that the GaN cap layer reduces the sheet density of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), leading to a decrease of the drain current, and that n+-doped GaN cap layer provides a higher sheet density than undoped one. In n+GaN/AlInN/GaN HEMTs, the sheet carrier concentration is higher than in n+GaN/AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, due to the higher spontaneous polarization charge and conduction band discontinuity at the substrate/barrier layer interface.
Shanghai Teachers’ Perceptions of Distributed Leadership: Resources and Agency

Purpose: Drawing on distributed leadership and motivation theories, this study investigates teachers’ perceptions of resource and agency distributions and identifies the key factors motivating leadership among teachers. Design/Approach/Methods: This quantitative study collected data from 327 teachers in nine schools in Shanghai. Chi-square tests of independence were conducted to examine the associations between leadership structures and power distance, while Spearman’s correlation tests were used to identify changes in leadership resource impact. A nonparametric Friedman’s test was applied to detect discrepancies between the agency of principals, team leaders, and teachers. Finally, Chi-square tests were conducted to discern the associations between teachers’ workload and motivation to lead. Findings: Most teachers identified the pyramid and spider’s web structures—which feature one power center and a high power distance—in their schools. The leadership resources and agency distributions corresponded to the school hierarchy: the higher position held by a teacher or a leader, the more resources they received, and the greater the agency they exercised. Results indicate that support from the principal is the most important factor in teachers’ participation in distributed leadership, while extra pay and leadership title are the least effective motivators. Originality/Value: This study has theoretical and practical value. First, it demonstrates the value of the resource–agency duality model for analyzing distributed leadership. Second, this study shows that promoting distributed leadership in Shanghai schools requires re-designing organizational resources and individual agency.
Assessment of Correlation between Food Choices and Fertility Status in Females

A rapid change in the eating patterns and choices of food has been observed globally. These changes, however, are not without consequences. Like many other health related problems, infertility is also on the rise, where 1 in every 4 couples is battling with it. It has been long known that increased and decreased BMIs can both cause deranged fertility but recently many women with normal body weights have been reported to suffer from infertility at some stage of their lives or the other. A survey was conducted to compare the food choices of 240 fertile and 77 infertile females in order to assess the correlation between their eating patterns and fertility status. Pregnant fertile females were found to be consuming carbohydrates and carbonated drinks in higher frequency than infertile ones and non-pregnant fertile were consuming proteins in greater quantities than infertile one. It has been thus postulated that more research needs to be done in this area on a broader scale in order to identify the foods that have a negative or positive impact on fertility status of females. Due to a limited number of participants from a local area, the research cannot be called conclusive.
Computer-navigated minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty

Background: Both minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and computer-assisted surgery (CAS) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) have gained popularity in recent years. We conducted a qualitative and systematic review to assess the effectiveness of MIS, CAS and computer-assisted MIS for THA. Methods: An extensive computerised literature search of PubMed, Medline, Embase and OVIDSP was conducted. Both randomised clinical trials and controlled clinical trials on the effectiveness of MIS, CAS and computer-assisted MIS for THA were included. Methodological quality was independently assessed by two reviewers. Effect estimates were calculated and a best-evidence synthesis was performed. Results: Four high-quality and 14 medium-quality studies with MIS THA as study contrast, and three high-quality and four medium-quality studies with CAS THA as study contrast were included. No studies with computer-assisted MIS for THA as study contrast were identified. Strong evidence was found for a decrease in operative time and intraoperative blood loss for MIS THA, with no difference in complication rates and risk for acetabular outliers. Strong evidence exists that there is no difference in physical functioning, measured either by questionnaires or by gait analysis. Moderate evidence was found for a shorter length of hospital stay after MIS THA. Conflicting evidence was found for a positive effect of MIS THA on pain in the early postoperative period, but that effect diminished after three months postoperatively. Strong evidence was found for an increase in operative time for CAS THA, and limited evidence was found for a decrease in intraoperative blood loss. Furthermore, strong evidence was found for no difference in complication rates, as well as for a significantly lower risk for acetabular outliers. Conclusions: The results indicate that MIS THA is a safe surgical procedure, without increases in operative time, blood loss, operative complication rates and component malposition rates. However, the beneficial effect of MIS THA on functional recovery has to be proven. The results also indicate that CAS THA, though resulting in an increase in operative time, may have a positive effect on operative blood loss and operative complication rates. More importantly, the use of CAS results in better positioning of acetabular component of the prosthesis. 21 Minimally invasive and computer-navigated total hip arthroplasty: a qualitative and systematic review of the literature
