A Development of the Flipped Learning Model Using the Critical Inquiry Process to Enhance Research Skills

Flipped Classroom’ has become more popular in higher education for encouraging self-learning enthusiasm. This research aims to propose a learning process model of flipped classroom to develop research skill by applying critical inquiry theory in the instructional design to develop thinking, finding answer and research skills which are the key competency for conducting a research. The research methodology was divided into two phases: the first phase included literature review to develop the learning process model, the second phase included learning model suitability evaluation by expert. The results showed that experts have strongly agreed with the learning model. We anticipate that our flipped classroom model which has divided into 3 phase included pre-class, in-class and after-class phases with the addition of thinking skill development activity by using critical inquiry technics could be used for reference for teachers on planning and implementing instructional activities to enhance the research skill of undergraduate students
Turismo sombrio e religioso: Duas vertentes convexas a partir de comparações entre Portugal e Brasil

Este estudo tem como objetivo discorrer acerca de duas modalidades de turismo: o religioso e o sombrio. Para isso, propõe-se a realização de uma abordagem qualitativa de cunho comparativo entre ambos a partir de dados que se referem ao seu desenvolvimento, tanto no Brasil quanto em Portugal. Levaremos em consideração às proximidades históricas entre os dois países e propomos uma reflexão acerca do turismo em seu âmbito global a partir de duas modalidades aparentemente antagônicas, mas que reservam em si variáveis em comum. Pretendemos contribuir, com este trabalho, para o alargamento do conhecimento sobre o tema, tendo em vista que ainda são escassos os estudos que contemplam tanto o turismo religioso, como o turismo sombrio, mais conhecido em sua vertente inglesa como “Dark Tourism”.
The Bentley Global Experience Initiative

Since 2009, Bentley University has engaged in assessment of intercultural effectiveness in undergraduate students. The instrument used was the Intercultural Effectiveness Scale, which measures six dimensions using a self-report instrument. The longitudinal data analysis showing results in correlation and causation indicated that while international education experiences have a significant positive effective on Global Mindset, they do not indicate a positive significant effect on other dimensions of intercultural effectiveness (Berdrow, Woolford, Skaletsky, Bird; 2020). In 2018, Bentley University engaged in a curriculum design process to re-envision its undergraduate core curriculum. Taking the opportunity to apply lessons from the assessment of intercultural effectiveness, a component of the new design was the Global Experience. This paper briefly outlines the assessment initiative and the curriculum design outline, with an emphasis on the creation of the Bentley Global Experience Initiative, a comprehensive program supporting faculty and students.
Financial Performance in Islamic Banking and Shari’ah Supervision under Interventionist Regulatory Approach: A System-GMM Dynamic Panel Analysis

The relationship between Shari’ah supervision and Islamic banks’ (IBs) performance is still ambiguous particularly for banks across countries that have different regulatory environments. Pakistan adopts an interventionist regulatory approach which is exclusive to Shari’ah governance (SG) system in Pakistan. This approach differs from the other adopted approaches in countries that have either high or low degree of regulatory interference. Thus, this study examines how Shari’ah supervision mechanism, as represented by the Shari’ah supervisory board, and its characteristics, can influence the performance of IBs in Pakistan. The sample comprises 67 Islamic bank-year observations for the period from 2007 to 2015. The performance-governance relationship is estimated using a range of econometric techniques including the dynamic system-GMM estimator. The results reveal modest support for a positive association between Shari’ah supervision and performance. The study concludes that SG practices in the Pakistani IBs still suffer from some drawbacks which require more improvements by the respective regulators. Most of these drawbacks are related to the SG regulatory frameworks which are related to the SSBs’ roles and characteristics.
Ambient affiliation, misinformation and moral panic: Negotiating social bonds in a YouTube internet hoax

Deceptive communication and misinformation are crucial issues that are currently having a significant impact on social life. Parallel to the important work of identifying misinformation on digital platforms is understanding why such material proliferates. One approach to answering this question is to attempt to understand the values that are being targeted by misinformation as a means of interpreting the underlying social bonds that are at stake. This study examines the kinds of social bonds that are communed around and contested in a corpus of YouTube video comments about the viral internet hoax ‘The Momo Challenge’. A social semiotic approach to ‘ambient affiliation’ (Zappavigna, 2011) is used to investigate how these bonds are negotiated in this digital discourse. This approach involves establishing the types of personae (for instance Moralisers, Myth Spreaders and Connoisseurs) who were negotiating meaning in the comments on the basis of the values that they recurrently shared, deferred or disputed. The analysis suggests that, in addition to concern over whether Momo was real and dangerous, there was a deeper moral panic about parenting in the digital age and the legitimacy of institutions such as schools and media as brokers of knowledge.
Optimal Fleet Deployment Strategy: Model the Effect of Shared E-Bikes on Bike-Sharing System

Following the bike-sharing system, the shared e-bike becomes increasingly popular due to the advantage in speed, trip distance, and so forth. However, limited research has investigated the impact of the introduction of shared e-bikes on the existing bike-sharing systems. This paper aims to study the effect of shared e-bikes on the traditional bike-sharing system and determine the optimal fleet deployment strategy under a bimodal transportation system. A stochastic multiperiod optimisation model is formulated to capture the demand uncertainty of travelers. The branch-and-bound algorithm is applied to solve problem. A 15-station numerical example is applied to examine the validity of the model and the effectiveness of the solution algorithm. The performance of integrated e-bike and bike-sharing system has been compared with the traditional bike-sharing system. The impacts of the charging efficiency, fleet size, and pricing strategy of e-bike-sharing system on the traditional bike-sharing system have been examined.
Study on a novel fluorescent anti-counterfeiting acrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive

ABSTRACT In this paper, a kind of fluorescent anti-counter feiting acrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) label was prepared using 7-hydroxycoumarin and acrylate monomer. First,7-hydroxycoumarin was reacted with 3-bromopropylene and coumarin derivatives were prepared. And thio-terminated intermediate-mercaptan A was obtained by the reaction of the mercaptan group of 2,2ʹ-(Ethylenedioxy) diethanethiol with the double bond. Then, mercaptan A was reacted with acrylate and a novel fluorescent anti-counterfeiting acrylate PSA was prepared. Finally, a novel fluorescent anti-counterfeiting acrylate PSA label was prepared by coating the adhesive on the PET label. The experimental results showed that with the increasing of mercaptan A content, the tensile strength, shear resistance, thermal stability property and fluorescence of mercaptan A-acrylate PSA were improved. When the content of mercaptan A was 5 wt %, the tack,180° peel strength and shear resistance of mercaptan A-acrylate PSA were No.5 ball, 0.54 KN/m and 87 h, respectively. The mercaptan A-acrylate PSA showed bright blue fluorescence under the ultraviolet lamp.
Vulnerability of global biodiversity hotspots to climate change

Motivation: More than half of Earth's species are contained in a mere 1.4% of its land area, but the climates of many of these biodiversity hotspots are projected to disap pear as a consequence of anthropogenic climate change. There is growing recognition that spatio- temporal patterns of climate in biodiversity hotspots have shaped bio logical diversity over a variety of historical time- scales, yet these patterns are rarely taken into account in assessments of the vulnerability of biodiversity hotspots to future climate change. In our review, we synthesize the climatic processes that have led to the diversification of hotspots and interpret what this means in the context of anthropogenic climate change. We demonstrate the importance of mesoclimatic processes and fine- scale topographical heterogeneity, in combination with climatic variability, in driving speciation processes and maintaining high levels of diversity. We outline why these features of hotspots are crucial to understanding the impacts of anthropogenic climate change and discuss how recent advances in predictive model ling enable vulnerability to be understood better.
Comparative Study of Anti-Inflammatory Effect on DSS-Induced Ulcerative Colitis Between Novel Glycyrrhiza Variety and Official Compendia

Glycyrrhizae radix (GR), a plant commonly referred to as licorice, is used as a medicine and food worldwide. However, the utilization of GR from wild areas has caused desertification and a depletion of natural resources. Environmental restrictions and low productivity have limited plant cultivation. For this reason, an improved Glycyrrhiza variety, Wongam (WG), in cultivation and quality has been developed by Korea Rural Development Administration. To evaluate the equivalence of efficacy, several comparative studies between already-registered species and new cultivars have been conducted. This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of WG extracts in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model, in comparison to that of GR extracts. WG extract significantly improved the clinical signs of DSS-induced ulcerative colitis, including disease activity index, body weight loss, and colon length shortening, which was equivalent to the effect of GR. Furthermore, the fecal microbiota was analyzed by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism. The composition of the fecal microbiota did not show a specific pattern based on experimental groups; however, a tendency toward an increase in the proportion of Lactobacillales was observed. These findings showed an equivalence of efficacy and the possible utilization of WG as a medicinal resource with already-registered species.
The Effect of Color and Positional Noise on Reading Performance in Human Vision

BACKGROUND: Reading can be described as a complex cognitive process of decrypting signs to create meaning. Eventually, it is a way of language achievement, communication, and sharing information and ideas. Changing lighting and color are known to improve visual comfort and the perceptual difficulties that affect reading for those with poor vision. AIM: This study aims to investigate the effect of changing the wavelengths and different levels of positional noise on reading performance for participants with best-corrected distant visual acuity (BCVA) of 6/6 or better. METHODOLOGY: Twenty English speakers with BCVA 6/6 or better were asked to read words presented in a printed format. The stimuli were black print words in a horizontal arrangement on matte white card. They were degraded using positional noise produced by random vertical displacements of the letter position below or above the horizontal line on three levels. RESULTS: Introducing positional noise affected word recognition differently with different wavelengths. The role of short wavelength in enhancing orthographic reading and word recognition is clear – they reduce the effects of positional noise. The error rate and duration time have different effects with different wavelengths, even when positional noise is introduced. CONCLUSION: The reading rate is not affected by changing the wavelength of the light. However, the mean differences in wpm were affected by changing the wavelengths. Also, introducing positional noise affects word recognition differently with different wavelengths.

Profiling the activity of edible European macroalgae towards pharmacological targets for type 2 diabetes mellitus

ABSTRACT In traditional medicine marine extracts are extensively used as therapies for diabetes. With the increasing rate of incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and rising cost of treatments, we investigated the anti-diabetic properties of extracts of common edible seaweeds in Europe including their ability to inhibit alpha-glucosidase and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) enzymatic activity, block sodium glucose transporter-2 (SGLT-2) activity and stimulate glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion and synthesis. The most promising seaweed extracts were tested for anti-hyperglycaemic activity in vivo. Some brown seaweed (Phaeophyceae) extracts had inhibitory effects on alpha-glucosidase ranging from 13.9 ± 0.2% to 89.5 ± 0.4% (p < 0.001). However, none of the seaweed extracts was able to block SGLT-2 activity. Ethanol extracts of the kelp Alaria esculenta and water extracts of Laminaria digitata strongly inhibited DPP-4 activity by 91.3 ± 0.1% and 90.0 ± 0.2%, respectively (p < 0.001), while ethanol extracts of Ulva rigida (Chlorophyta) had the greatest potential to stimulate GLP-1 secretion and GLP-1 synthesis (p < 0.001). A water extract of Porphyra linearis (Rhodophyta) significantly reduced the overall glycaemic excursion during an oral glucose tolerance test in normal mice (p < 0.05). These results demonstrate future potential for common edible seaweeds to be used as medicinal foods or bio-therapeutics to tackle type 2 diabetes mellitus by targeting GLP-1 secretion, DPP-4 activity or alpha-glucosidase activity.
A Facile Synthesis of PdO‐Decorated SnO2 Nanocomposites with Open Porous Hierarchical Architectures for Gas Sensors

PdO-decorated SnO2 nanocomposites with open porous hierarchical architectures are fabricated through a facile biotemplating sol-gel technique. The sol-gel soakage process is carried out by immersing the templates butterfly wings in Sn- and Pd- impregnants successively to generate a uniform colloid layer. PdO and SnO2 nanocrystallites come into being with subsequent calcination treatment, and PdO-decorated SnO2 nanocomposites further construct the parallel main ridges with connective pillars and vertical struts, finally present a 3-D open porous hierarchical architecture. Benefiting from unique ingredients and structure hierarchy, the nanocomposites give enhanced acetone-sensing performance of high sensitivity and rapid response/recovery rate
Cross‐coupled dielectric waveguide filter

A cross‐coupled dielectric waveguide filter based on blind holes and via holes is proposed in this study. Using a unique all‐hole design, a fourth‐order cross‐coupled dielectric waveguide bandpass filter is realized by drilling via holes or blind holes in a square dielectric waveguide, followed by coating the surface with thin metal. Magnetic coupling is realized using two blind holes located symmetrically above and below each other. Further, electrical coupling is realized using a combination of two blind holes located symmetrically above and below each other and an interconnecting via hole. Both types of coupling are analyzed and designed. Moreover, a circular via hole is provided in the middle of the square cavity to suppress the parasitic response of the filter. Coupling debugging holes, resonant debugging holes, and feed holes are realized using shallow blind holes, thereby alleviating the process of manufacturing and debugging. The structure of the designed filter is discussed, simulated, manufactured, and measured. The results show that the proposed filter has a center frequency of 3.5 GHz, an insertion loss of less than 0.5 dB, a return loss of less than 15 dB, and a relative bandwidth of 5%, exhibiting excellent performance that includes two out‐of‐band transmission zeros.
Radiation-Induced Acrylamide/4-Vinyl Pyridine Biocidal Hydrogels: Synthesis, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activities

ABSTRACT Acrylamide/4-vinyl pyridine hydrogels were synthesized by radiation polymerization technique using a γ-irradiator. The prepared radiation-synthesized acrylamide/4-vinyl pyridine hydrogels were then treated using a modifying agent with aromatic functional group. The modifying agent used in the modification of acrylamide/4-vinyl pyridine hydrogels was the N-aromatic alkyl quaternizing agent of chloromethyl benzene. The functional group on the modified acrylamide/4-vinyl pyridine hydrogels was confirmed with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry. Thermal analysis, surface morphology investigation, and swelling of the modified and unmodified hydrogels were completed. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the modified and unmodified hydrogels were also tested against gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923); two gram-negative Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) human pathogenic bacteria and a fungal strain—Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) for their MBC values. It was found that acrylamide/4-vinyl pyridine hydrogels do not possess biocidal properties, whereas the modified form of acrylamide/4-vinyl pyridine−chloromethyl benzene showed highly bactericidal characteristics.

Conclusion: The ED50 and ED95 of 10 mg of isobaric 0.5% ropivacaine combined with di ferent doses of sufentanil in lumbar anesthesia for cesarean sections in patients with severe preeclampsia were 1. 830μg and 2.852μg, respectively.
Consumer’s Privacy Perception in Online Shopping Behavior using E-Commerce Platform

Online shopping behavior has become a choice for digital society. This activity has become a trend as various platforms come out such as e-commerce. As most companies and consumers move online goods or services business, the issue of privacy has begun to crop up. Various studies have examined research on privacy issues in online shopping e.g e-commerce. Privacy has implications for e-commerce because when conducting consumer transactions, it should include their personal information, address, phone number, and credit card number. Privacy is a sociocultural perception, depending on the dominant values of a society. Thus consumers' views on privacy in the digital world can have different views based on the socio-cultural context. This research will focus on exploring consumer perceptions of privacy in online shopping behavior. Aspects of consumer perception include aspects of awareness of online privacy information, privacy risk protection behavior, acceptance to adopt e-commerce, and regulatory and policy knowledge. This research used descriptive research and had employed (18-25) years old respondents who are living in the cities of Jabodetabek (N= 30). They have diverse opinions about privacy security in e-commerce, most of which state that e-commerce security is not guaranteed but they still adopt. Consumers never experienced cybercrime which means that they continue to adapt e-commerce.
