Regarding advantages of APBI to wholebrain radiation therapy (WBRT) and limitations for performing other techniques, we compare external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT), as a type of APBI technique. Methods: Dosimetric parameters including uniformity index (UI), conformity index (CI), and homogeneity index (HI) beside heart and lung doses were assessed and compared in two techniques. CT images of 24 patients with left-sided breast cancer after lumpectomy were selected. Patients were categorized into three groups based on the volume of breast, respectively, ≤ 1000 cc, 1000–1500 cc, and ≥ 1500 cc. CI, HI, UI and DVH were calculated by DosiSoftIsogray treatment planning software. Results: Results show the value of UI in APBI method is more than EBRT method significantly (p=0.004). Moreover, that CI in APBI method was more than EBRT (p=0.0000) and nearer to 1. There was no significant difference between HI values between APBI and EBRT methods. As the volume of breast gets bigger, HI values rise, meaning worse homogeneity. Conclusion: APBI method may be a good method for minimizing side effect and minimizing treatment periods.

Education for sustainability Fostering a more conscious society and transformation towards sustainability

Purpose – Current approaches to sustainability science and education focus on (assessing and addressing) the external world of ecosystems, wider socio-economic structures, technology and governance dynamics. A major shortcoming of such approaches is the neglect of inner dimensions and capacities (which constrains educationforsustainability as anend), anda limited capacityto facilitate re ﬂ ection onthecognitive andsocio-emotional processes underpinning people ’ s learning, everyday life choices and decision-taking (which constrains education for sustainability as a means). More integral approaches and pedagogies are urgently needed. The purposeof this paper is to advance relatedknowledge. Design/methodology/approach – This paper provides a re ﬂ exive case study of the development of an innovative course on “ Sustainability and Inner Transformation ” and associated interventions in the form of a practicelabandweeklycouncils. Findings – The paper elaborates on the connections between sustainability and inner transformation in education, offers insights into the process of adapting contemplative interventions to sustainability education and concludes with some re ﬂ ections on challenges, lessons learnt and future work needed to support more integral approaches. The ﬁ ndings show that inner dimensionsand transformation can be a vehicle for critical, improved educationforsustainabilityandhowthis canbe achievedin practice. Originality/value – It is only recently that the concept of the inner or personal (sphere of) transformation has received growing attention in sustainability science and education. Despite this interest, such new conceptualizations and heuristics have, to date, not been systematically connected to education for sustainability (neither as an end nor means). The paper presents a critical, re ﬂ exive case, which advances related knowledge. It sets a precedent, which other universities/training institutions could follow or learn from.
Identifying challenges pre-service teachers encountered when teaching curriculum for agricultural science education (CASE) coursework during student teaching.

Student teaching is the capstone experience in an agricultural teacher preparation program (Edgar, Roberts, & Murphy, 2011). During student teaching, pre-service teachers work with cooperating teachers to learn to effectively deliver instruction (Feiman-Nemser & Buchmann, 1987) on topics such as agriscience, agricultural mechanics, horticultural science, and so forth, to secondary students. Schoolbased agricultural education (SBAE) also includes instruction in applied academic content (Stubbs & Myers, 2015). Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) has emerged in recent years to provide engaging, academically-reinforced coursework for SBAE teachers and students across the United States (CASE, n.d.a). Thus, it is reasonable to expect pre-service teachers may be responsible for teaching CASE coursework at their student teaching placement sites. We sought to identify challenges that preservice teachers may encounter when teaching CASE coursework. Through two face-to-face focus group interviews conducted at both the mid-semester and end-of-semester student teacher meetings, we identified three primary themes: 1) accessibility to resources; 2) influence of cooperating teachers; and 3) applicability of coursework based on local needs. We concluded these pre-service teachers encountered both positive and negative experiences related to teaching CASE coursework and recommended that preservice teachers be adequately prepared to engage in CASE coursework prior to student teaching.
Activity-guided Isolation of Antioxidant Phenolic Compound from Etlingera elatior Leaves

Thorch ginger (Etlingera elatior) plant is one of Zingiberaceae family used as natural medicine such as antimicrobe, analgetic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The chemical contents of thorch ginger are tannins, phenolic compounds, essential oil, saponins, flavonoids and terpenoid/steroids. Antioxidant activity-guided isolation and purification process were used to identify the DPPH (1,1 diphenyl2-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging component of Etlingera elatior. Dry leaves were macerated with ethanol 70% and then fractionated by liquid-liquid extraction with different solvents and tested its DPPH radical-scavenging activity. The ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and DPPH radicalscavenging activity which was column chromatographed to obtain phenolic compound as antioxidant active component. Good correlation was observed between TPC and antioxidant activity among extracts. The UV-VIS and IR spectrum of isolate showed the phenolic compound to be promising as antioxidant.
Informing a User of Robot’s Mind by Motion

This paper describes a nonverbal approach for a robot to inform a human of its internal state. It is implemented by executing particular motion. In practical cooperation of a human and a robot, the robot often requires human’s help to achieve a task. In such a situation, a robot needs to send useful information on its internal state like intention, to guide a human to understand it and to make him/her to execute actions for help. A simple solution for how to inform a human of the robot’s internal state is an explicit way in which a robot sends verbal information like speech synthesis. However, in terms of human-robot interaction, implicit and effective approach is preferable because it must be more natural and inexpensive like the interaction between humans. Thus we propose a motion-based approach for a robot to inform a human of its internal state. By such an approach, a robot is able to tell the internal state to a human naturally, and he/she can understand the robot’s state effectively. Some experiments are made for evaluating the advantage of our method over other nonverbal ways.
PCR detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in stray dogs in Batman, Turkey

Anaplasma phagocytophilum causes high-grade fever in humans, ruminants, horses, cats, and dogs. A. phagocytophilum, which causes granulocytic anaplasmosis in dogs, has a wide geographical distribution in the world, but there are not many studies on the Anaplasma species in dogs in Turkey. A. phagocytophilum , which infects leukocytes in dog, might also be zoonotic. This study aimed to investigate the A. phagocytophilum prevalence in stray dogs in Batman province of Turkey using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. Blood samples were drawn into EDTA tubes from the venae cephalica antebrachii of randomly selected 97 asymptomatic dogs in total. Identification of A. phagocytophilum was carried out using the conventional PCR method that was conducted by using the DNAs obtained from the samples. A. phagocytophilum prevalence was found to be 3.1% in the examined blood samples. In conclusion, infection of dogs in Batman province with A. phagocytophilum has been revealed molecularly for the first time with this study. It is considered that detection of this species, which can cause disease (Human granulocytic anaplasmosis) in humans as well, has contributed epidemiologically to the data on the spread of the disease throughout Turkey. Moreover, investigating the tick species that transmit the disease in the region where the study was conducted is important for developing effective control strategies against the disease.
Effect of Negative Capacitance on Tunnel FETs DC Performance

This work experimentally demonstrates that the negative capacitance effect can be used to significantly improve the key figures of merit of tunnel FET switches. In the proposed approach, a matching condition is achieved between a trained-polycrystalline PZT capacitor and the TFET gate capacitance fabricated on a strained silicon-nanowire technology. We report a non-hysteretic switch configuration by combining a homojunction TFET and a negative capacitance effect booster, suitable for logic applications, for which the on-current is increased by a factor of 100x, the transconductance by 2 orders of magnitude, and the region of low values of the subthreshold slope is extended. The operation of a hysteretic negative capacitance TFET, when the matching condition for the negative capacitance is fulfilled only in a limited region of operation, is also reported and discussed. In this late case, a limited improvement in the device performance is observed. Overall, the paper demonstrates the main beneficial effects of negative capacitance on TFETs are the overdrive and transconductance amplification, which address exactly the most limiting performances of the current TFETs.
Using smart PPE in waste management: advantages and disadvantages

Once hazards for workers are highlighted, engineering and administrative controls should be adopted in workplaces and, finally, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). In Italy, INAIL is involved in studying the application of the national plan “Industry 4.0” to safety in workplaces and in improving the protective systems’ performances through the use of “Industry 4.0” devices. Smart PPE are “Industry 4.0” products representing the most interesting way to increase protection standards in risk management. Smart PPE are advanced PPE, integrating materials, sensors and ICT solutions enhancing product multi-functionality. Many functions can be integrated in Smart PPE: health and environmental monitoring; wireless communication; personal localization (GPS) and geographic information system (GIS); cooling and heating; additional functions as an emergency stop or hazard reduction; smart textiles; wireless tracking and identification; physical security information management; augmented reality. There are advantages and disadvantages in using these items, to be taken into account for workers’ safety. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of smart PPE’s pros and cons referring to every phase of solid waste management, one of the most hazardous employment sectors in Europe, where PPE are essential to reduce risks. Moreover, some interesting features of existing smart PPE will be pointed out, such as the communication based on Bluetooth or RFID TAGs and sensors, the face recognition, or the integration of augmented reality. Finally, the first results of INAIL’s project about a smart PPE will be illustrated. At the end of the project activities this item will be available free of charge.
HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH INTERACTION ACHIEVEMENT MODEL SOLUTIONS OF DIFFERENT GENERATIONS WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION-MOTIVATION PROCESS APPROACH

The purpose of writing this article is Achieving intraction achivement and avoiding conflict is becoming increasingly difficult in a workplace populated by Different Generations within the Organization. This paper presents a model and proposes HR solutions toward achieving co-operative generational interaction by motivation process approach. Design/methodology/approach – This paper adapts motivation processes of relations to explain the distinctiveness of generational work groups and the challenges and opportunities that these groups present when interacting in organisations. Park’s theory, Kubler ross grief cycle, is the mapped onto Park’s race relations cycle in order to link generational interaction to emotional reactions to change over time. Findings – The paper sets out a research agenda for examining how generations interact in the workplace. A human resource development philosophy could be expressed in the following terms: Strategic human resource development. It acknowledges the limitations of using Park’s theory of race relations, in particular the criticisms levelled at assimilationist approaches. Originality/value – The paper provides an alternative viewpoint for examining how generations co-exist and interact and shows how HR solutions can respond to the needs of different generations.
ЛЕЙКОПЛАКИИ PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY FOR VULVAR LEUKOPLAKIA

The aim of study is to evaluate the tolerability and effectiveness of photodynamic therapy as an organ‑preserving treatment in patients with vul‑ var leukoplakia. 50 patients with a verified diagnosis of «vulvar leukoplakia» were included in the study. The age varied from 27 to 74 years. The method of treatment assumed the use of the photosensitizer рhotolon (RUE «Belmedpreparaty», Belarus) administered intravenously in doses of 1.8–2.5 mg/kg. Photoirradiation of pathological foci was carried out 2.5–3 hours after intravenous injection of photolon ® using a semiconductor laser «UPL PDT» (LEMT, Belarus, λ=661 nm) at exposure doses from 30 to 100 J/cm 2 with a power density of 100–170 mW/cm 2 . The treatment was performed under medical anesthesia. The results of treatment were evaluated using clinical data. Adverse reactions and complications after the introduction of the photosensitizer and photoirradiation have not been observed. Complete clinical regression of the treated pathological foci was noted in 100% of cases with a follow‑up observation 1 month after the treatment. At follow‑up after 3 months, local recurrences of the disease were detected in 4 cases, which were successfully treated with repeated photodynamic therapy sessions. The percentage of complete regressions was 92%, partial – 8%. The obtained results allow judging on the possibility of using photodynamic therapy in the treatment of patients with vulvar leukoplakia, which allows to preserve the organ and obtain a satisfactory functional and cosmetic result.

Feeding Behavior of Asian Citrus Psyllid [Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae)] Nymphs and Adults on Common Weeds Occurring in Cultivated Citrus Described Using Electrical Penetration Graph Recordings

Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, transmits Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the putative causal agent of Huanglongbing disease. Although they primarily feed on the phloem of Citrus and related plants, when grove or host conditions are unfavorable, D. citri may be able to use weed species as alternate food sources for survival. To explore this possibility, electrical penetration graph (EPG) recordings (18 h) were performed to investigate the feeding behavior of psyllid adults and nymphs on three common south Florida weeds (Bidens alba, Eupatorium capillifolium, and Ludwigia octovalvis). EPG recordings revealed that the proportion of time spent by D. citri feeding on xylem was similar on all tested weed species (19%–22%) and on the positive control (20%), the preferred host, Citrus macrophylla. Very little to no phloem feeding was observed on weed species by either nymphs or adults. Histological studies using epifluorescence microscopy showed that salivary sheaths were branched and extended into xylem of weed species, whereas they ended in phloem on citrus plants. No choice behavioral assays showed that adults can obtain some nutrition by feeding on weed species (xylem feeding) and they may be able to survive on them for short intervals, when host conditions are unfavorable.
Towards Instance-Based Content Scoring with Pre-Trained Transformer Models

Pretrained contextual word representations based on transformer models have recently achieved state-of-the-art performance on content scoring for educational data using a similarity-based scoring approach with reference answers. In this work, we demonstrate how similar models can be adapted for content scoring using an instance-based approach (Horbach and Zesch 2019), in which a model is learned only from student responses (not reference answers). Our approach yields state-of-the-art performance on the ASAP-SAS short answer scoring dataset. Content scoring is the task of scoring the content of answers to free-response questions in educational applications (also known as short answer grading or scoring when responses are short, e.g. sentence length) (Burrows, Gurevych, and Stein 2015). Unlike systems for essay scoring, which target writing quality (e.g., ideas and elaboration, organization, style, and writing conventions such as grammar and spelling (Burstein, Tetreault, and Madnani 2013)), systems for content scoring focus on the accuracy of responses. Two main approaches exist for content scoring: similarity-based and instance-based (Horbach and Zesch 2019). Similarity-based approaches score content by comparing individual responses with reference responses, while instance-based approaches learn a model of the characteristics of responses at different scores. Recent work on neural methods for content scoring have shown strong performance in both similarity-based (Kumar, Chakrabarti, and Roy 2017) and instance-based (Riordan, Flor, and Pugh 2019) scoring scenarios. Leveraging recent advances in pre-trained contextual word representations, Sung, Dhamecha, and Mukhi (2019) demonstrated state-of-the-art performance for similaritybased content scoring. Since pretrained models such as BERT are trained on tasks that use intra-sentence and neighboring sentence information, they fit the similarity-based scoring approach well. In this work, we explore how to apply pretrained transformer models for instance-based content scoring. That is, ∗Work carried out during an internship at ETS. Copyright c © 2020, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (www.aaai.org). All rights reserved. we use whole responses as training data and fine-tune pretrained representations for response tokens on the content score prediction task. Specifically, in this work, we demonstrate that a BERT-based model can be adapted for instancebased content scoring and examine its performance relative to the state-of-the-art for instance-based content scoring.
