A Study of Teacher Educators Skill and ICT Integration in Online Teaching during the Pandemic Situation in India

Information and communication technology prompted the sharing of information over the world. For its impact on education, the government and the authorities like the University Grants Commission in India have energized the higher education institutions in India to implement online education during the pandemic situation. This paper attempts to know the teaching faculties' ICT skills and related online class skills in higher educational institutions in India. In India, like developing countries, quick as the lightning change in traditional to fully online classes are like a rumble of thunder because faculties are adopting this situation but students are challenging to adopt. The directed out of two hundred and twenty respondents were sampled randomly, questionnaires were distributed online, 201 were properly filled and returned from central universities, government higher education institutions, and state universities. A one-way ANOVA and independent-sample t-test on SPSS for data analysis were adopted. The results revealed that the respondents are significantly the same regarding their skills related to online teaching and ICT integration. Online education also involves sharing of resources, reinforcement techniques, questioning, and evaluation. There was a significant difference in ICT skills and ICT integration in online education. This was due to their age, availability of resources and some operational difficulties. Following the present scenario, the right attitude and skills are recommended on the 21st-century requirements. Faculties are how they feel and taking into serious or joy, and an online class is given to their pleasure or pressure are discussed in this article.
Deadbeat Predictive Current Control for Series-Winding PMSM Drive with Half-Bridge Power Module-Based Inverter

Series-winding topology (SWT) could improve the DC-link voltage utilization, as open-winding topology does. Meanwhile, it can greatly reduce the number of power devices. Firstly, for the half-bridge power modules (HBPMs)-based inverter, an N-phase series-winding motor only requires N + 1 HBPMs for driving. On the other hand, such SWT also brings new challenges to the drive system. A zero-sequence loop is introduced into the motor windings due to SWT. The generated zero-sequence current would degrade the total harmonic distortion of the phase currents and produce the additional torque ripple. Moreover, current sensors are typically integrated with the HBPMs. However, in SWT, their measured results are the leg currents of the inverter, not the phase currents of the motor, which is crucial to the motor control. Thus, this paper mainly focuses on the aforementioned problems in a three-phase series-winding permanent-magnet synchronous motor (TPSW-PMSM) drive with HBPM-based inverter. Firstly, to control the zero-sequence subspace, the voltage vector distribution of TPSW-PMSM is analyzed. In addition, two voltage vectors with zero-sequence components are selected to generate the zero-sequence voltage. Then, the phase currents are reconstructed according to the leg currents from the current sensors on HBPMs. Based on the above, the deadbeat predictive current control (DBPCC) scheme is proposed for a TPSW-PMSM drive with HBPM-based inverter. It provides the TPSW-PMSM drive with fast dynamic response and effective zero-sequence current suppression. Finally, both simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed DBPCC scheme.
Calcitonin (FORTICAL, MIACALCIN) for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures.

Purpose of Review Osteoporosis is a common condition affecting the musculoskeletal system. It carries with it increased risks of fracture in many areas of the body, leading to reduced quality of life, limited mobility, and other long-term implications such as chronic pain. Vertebral compression fractures are a common development in patients with osteoporosis. Current treatment options focus on reducing pain; preventative methods are somewhat limited and focus on minimizing risk factors for the development of osteoporosis. In this review, we explore the use of calcitonin (FORTICAL, MIACALCIN) to treat vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). Recent Findings Osteoporosis had a prevalence of more than 10% in the United States in 2010. The CDC estimates that nearly 25% of women over age 65 have findings of osteoporosis, which include low spinal bone mass. The condition is highly prevalent and, in an aging U.S. population, quite clinically relevant. Risk factors for development include advanced age, cigarette smoking, medications, reduced physical activity, and low calcium and vitamin D intake. Family history may also play a role. Diagnosis is made based on bone mineral density.Standard therapy for VCFs in osteoporosis includes analgesic medications, such as NSAIDs and biphosphonates, and surgical intervention. NSAIDs address the chronic pain that is a common long-term effect of VCFs. Biphosphonates have recently been used to attempt to halt the progression and provide prevention. Surgical interventions such as balloon kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are typically reserved for patients who have failed other methods.Calcitonin is a peptide naturally produced by the human body, released from the parathyroid gland. It binds to osteoclasts, inhibiting them from inducing bone resorption. By relatively unknown mechanisms, it also appears to cause endorphin release and mitigate pain. Clinical data has shown safety and efficacy for exogenous calcitonin in reducing bone turnover and reducing VCF-induced pain. Summary Osteoporosis is a common condition that can lead to complications such as vertebral compression fractures. It can significantly impact the quality of life in many elderly Americans. There is currently no singular treatment, but calcitonin has recently been explored as a possible option for minimizing pain and reducing disease progression. Further studies are needed to understand its preventative benefits fully.
Persistencia de efectos a largo plazo de la fertilización fosfatada y la introducción de leguminosas en pastizales del Uruguay

En el campo natural (CN) de Uruguay la introducción de leguminosas con fertilización fosfatada (CN+LP) evita restricciones nutricionales, pero son poco conocidos sus efectos sobre el suelo y la pastura. Para evaluar estos efectos en el largo plazo se utilizó un experimento previo de introducción de Lotus corniculatus y fertilización fosfatada con un tratamiento testigo de CN (1995-2002). Entre 2013 y 2015 se determinó la producción primaria neta aérea (PPNA), contenido de nutrientes de la planta, composición y diversidad florística. En el suelo se analizó pH, contenido de C orgánico, P disponible y orgánico. En dos gramíneas nativas se evaluó la colonización micorrícica. El suelo CN+LP presentó mayor contenido de P disponible, pero no hubo diferencias en C orgánico. Aunque la PPNA fue similar, el contenido de P del forraje fue mayor en CN+LP respecto a CN, mientras que la micorrización fue mayor en CN. La composición florística y la diversidad no difirieron. Se concluye que, aunque no se mantuvieron las ventajas productivas de CN+LP en PPNA, hubo una mejora en la calidad del forraje debido a su mayor contenido de P. Sin embargo, no hubo efectos en servicios ecosistémicos claves como la diversidad de especies.
Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of bioactive components present in grape citrus peel in Nigeria

Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) is an important cultivar of the Citrus genus which contains a number of nutrients beneficial to human health. Grapefruit peels are usually thrown away in this part of Nigeria. The research work investigated the bioactive components present in an indigenous citrus peel, grape (Citrus paradisi). Grape fruits were purchased from the fruits garden market in D-Line, Port-Harcourt metropolis and washed with ionized water and allowed to shade dry. The peel of the fruits were separated and subjected to cold extraction using 95% ethanol. The extracts obtained were further extracted in dichloromethane and subjected to GC/MS analysis for characterization of various bioactive components. The gas chromatographic model: 789A (GC) analysis was performed on an agilent technologies interfaced with mass selective detector model: 5975(MSD). The results revealed 25 bioactive components in grape peel with n-Hexadecanoic acid showing the highest concentration of 20.36% and retention time of 18.522min. Nootkatone was the lowest component in the grape peel with concentration 0.74% and retention time of 16.459min. Results shows that grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) has considerable potential as a source of natural bioactive components with different retention times. These fruits residues which otherwise regarded as waste hold promising potentials for medicinal therapy and value added food supplements.
Conditions for mental health in education: Towards relational practice

There are concerns globally about the emotional wellbeing and mental health of young people and in this paper a critical orientation comprises both theoretical and empirical data sources. The case is made that (1) the medical model of mental health – that of problem identification, diagnosis and medical treatment at the level of the individual – is not appropriate for the vast majority of children and young people in schools and (2) relational approaches would be more sensitive in responding to the complexity of the ‘conditions’ in the schools, homes and communities in which young people live. Articulations of these conditions in the literature are explored while we also draw on empirical data from part of an evaluation of a school-based teacher-training programme in which interviewees and respondents mapped out their own conditions for emotional wellbeing and mental health. We conclude with proposals for relational approaches which (1) acknowledge the links between affect, cognition and school climate and culture, (2) foreground mental health and poverty as impacting on young people’s emotional wellbeing in their communities, families and schools and (3) attend to voice – providing spaces in which young people can develop their own ‘preferred narratives’ concerning emotional wellbeing and mental health.
CERVICAL PULPOTOMY IN MATURE PERMANENT TOOTH WITH CARIOUS EXPOSURE: 3-YEAR-FOLLOW UP CASE REPORT

Objective. The objective of this case study is to manage irreversible pulpitis in a mature permanent molar with a conservative and cost-effective therapy, which is cervical pulpotomy. Summary. A cervical pulpotomy was performed on the second permanent mandibular molar with an irreversible pulpitis in a 30-year-old female patient.Taking the age of the patient and the condition of the underlying pulp tissue into account, cervical pulpotomy was planned to preserve the vitality of the intact root pulps using MTA. Follow-up examinations at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 3 years revealed positive clinical and radiological results. The high success rate reported in this clinical case also in all systematic reviews for pulpotomy suggests that this procedure can offer an alternative to root canal treatment in teeth with irreversible pulpitis.
The repetitive local sampling and the local distribution theory

Molecular simulation is a mature and versatile tool set widely utilized in many subjects. However, its methodology development has been struggling with a tradeoff between accuracy and speed, significant improvement of both is necessary to reliably substitute many expensive and laborious experiments in molecular biology and nanotechnology. Previously, the ubiquitous severe wasting of computational resources in molecular simulations due to repetitive local sampling was raised, and the local free energy landscape approach was proposed to address it. The core idea is to first learn local distributions, and followed by dynamic assembly of which to infer global joint distribution of a target molecular system. When compared with conventional explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations, a simple and approximate implementation of this theory in protein structural refinement harvested acceleration of about six orders of magnitude without loss of accuracy. While this initial test revealed tremendous benefits for addressing repetitive local sampling, there are some implicit assumptions need to be articulated. Here, I present a more thorough discussion of repetitive local sampling; potential options for learning local distributions; a more general formulation with potential extension to simulation of near equilibrium molecular systems; the prospect of developing computation driven molecular science; the connection to mainstream residue pair distance distribution based protein structure studies; and the fundamental difference of the averaging strategy from potential of mean force. This more general development is termed the local distribution theory to release the limitation of strict thermodynamic equilibrium in its potential wide application in general soft condensed molecular systems.
Urban Data Dynamics: A Systematic Benchmarking Framework to Integrate Crowdsourcing and Smart Cities’ Standardization

Urbanization and knowledge economy have highly marked the new millennium. Urbanization brings new challenges which can be addressed by the knowledge economy, which opens up scientific and technical innovation opportunities. The enhancement of cities’ intelligence has heavily impacted city transformation and sustainable decision-making based on urban data knowledge extraction. This work is motivated by the strong demand for robust standardization efforts to steer and measure city performance and dynamics, given the growing tendency of conventional cities’ transformation into smart and resilient ones. This paper revises the earlier so-called “cityDNA” framework, which was designed to detect the interrelations between the six smart city dimensions, such that a city’s profile and capacities are recognized in a systematic manner. The updated framework implements the widely accepted smart city (ISO 37120:2018) standard, along with an adaptive Web service, which processes urban data and visualizes the city’s profile to facilitate decision-making. The proposed framework offers a solid benchmarking service, at which the value of crowdsourced data is exploited for the production of urban knowledge and city transformation empowerment. The proposed benchmarking approach is tested and validated through relevant case studies and a proof-of-concept scenario, in which open data and crowdsourced data are exploited. The outcomes revealed that cities should intensify their KPI-driven data production and exploitation along with a set of solid standards for cities to enable cities with customizable scenarios enriched with indicators that reflect each city’s vibrancy.
Keragaman Jenis dan Kondisi Habitat Herpetofauna Paska Kebakaran di Taman Nasional Tesso Nilo-Riau

Herpetofauna merupakan satwa poikilotherm dan sensitive terhadap perubahan temperature khususnya kebakaran, pemahaman respon taksa ini terhadap kondisi setelah kebakaran dapat memberikan informasi indikasi awal resiliensi ekosistem. Nampaknya informasi saintifik terkait dengan respon komunitas herpetofauna setelah kebakaran masih sangat jarang. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengeksplorasi keberadaan herpetofauna pada daerah-daerah bekas terbakar di Taman Nasional Tesso Nilo di Propinsi Riau dan mencari faktor-faktor lingkungan yang dapat menjelaskan keberadaannya. Survey di lapangan dilakukan selama periode December 2015-February 2016 untuk mengumpulkan data keberadaan jenis herpetofauna diurnal pada daerah terbakar dan tidak terbakar serta mengumpulkan data lingkungan menggunakan jalur-jalur transek. Jumlah individu yang teramati dicatat dan kondisi lingkungan yang diamati adalah kondisi tutupan habitat dan kepadatan vegetasi yang diukur menggunakan protocol sampling plots dan nested sampling plots, secara berturut-turut. Penelitian ini juga mencatat kematian vegetasi dan komposisi dari bahan organik pada setiap lokasi penelitian.

Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa sebagian besar jenis yang ditemukan termasuk katak selama ini dikenal mampu bertahan hidup pada lokasi yang terganggu.
Business Continuity Plan facing COVID-19: From necessity to Alterities

Exactly two months after the first case in Wuhan, China, towards the end of 2019, the gap between the carriers of the virus and the epidemiological situation is growing just like a sword of Damocles over the heads of systems and nations around the world. Due to its spread, this pandemic has also challenged enterprises’ operational capacity and market presence. In such a context, a question arises: did companies manage the pandemic effectively? Through this question, this article aims to explore the problematic relationship between the Covidian context and businesses and, along the way, understand why while facing Covid-19 and its multiple effects some businesses win and others lose. For this purpose, it seems opportune, first of all, to identify the multiple effects inherent in Covid-19, in order to better interpret the sensitivity of companies to the weight of the crisis, and thirdly, to specify how certain companies have managed to organize their activity and adapt to health contingencies thanks to the business continuity plan, while others have experienced great difficulties (namely making negative financial results, or cutting jobs to reduce costs, temporally or totally stopping their operations, or even declaring their bankruptcy). The impact of this pandemic has allowed us to determine a new way of comparison between companies: differentiation based on the use or the disuse of the business continuity plan as the ideal solution to manage and overcome this crisis by guaranteeing the preparation, the proactivity and the rapid recovery of activities. Therefore, this plan helped the companies to maintain in the market without cutting jobs or shutting down their doors.
Unmet Needs in Clinical Practice: A Proposal and Application of A Diagnostic and Severity Scale to Grade Cerebellar Mutism Syndrome

BACKGROUND: The post-operative Pediatric Cerebellar Mutism Syndrome (CMS) affects about one-third of children and adolescents following surgical removal of a posterior fossa tumor (PFT). According to the Posterior Fossa Society consensus working definition, CMS is characterized by delayed onset mutism/reduced speech and emotional lability after cerebellar or 4th ventricle tumor surgery in children, with additional common features that include hypotonia and oropharyngeal dysfunction/dysphagia. The main objective of this work was to propose a diagnostic scale to grade CMS duration and severity.METHOD: Thirty consecutive subjects, aged 1-17 years (median 8 years, IQR 7) were evaluated with the proposed Post-Operative Pediatric CMS Survey after surgical resection of a PFT and, in cases of CMS, for the next 30 days after the onset (T0) or until symptom remission. At day 30th (T1), CMS was classified into mild, moderate, or severe according to the proposed Scale.RESULTS: CMS occurred in 13 patients (43.3%, 95% C.I.: 25.5-62.6%), with mild severity in 4 cases (31%), moderate in 4 (31%), and severe in 5 (38%). At T1, longer symptom persistence was associated with greater severity (p=0.01). Greater severity at T0 predicted greater severity at T1 (p=0.0001). Children with a midline tumor location and those aged under 5 years at diagnosis were at higher risk of CMS (p=0.025 and p=0.008, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The proposed scale is a simple and applicable tool for estimating the severity of CMS at its onset, monitoring its course over time, and providing an early prognostic stratification to guide treatment decisions.
On prescribed-time functional observers of linear descriptor systems with unknown input

ABSTRACT This paper is concerned with prescribed-time functional unknown input observer (PTFUIO) design for linear descriptor systems. First, by constructing two identical asymptotic convergence functional observers, a new PTFUIO is developed which can achieve an exact estimation within an arbitrarily prescribed time, where both the estimation accuracy and the convergence time pre-definition are independent of the initial conditions of the original system. Also, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such the PTFUIO are given in terms of the original system matrices which are easy to examine. Finally, numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Comprehensive Analysis of the Prognosis for Chemokine-Like Factor MARVEL Transmembrane Domain-Containing Family in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Background and Purpose: Chemokine-like factor (CKLF) MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family (CMTMs), including chemokine-like factor (CKLF) and CMTM1 to CMTM8. All of these genes participate in tumor development and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, prognosis values and the distinct roles of different CMTMs in HCC are still un-clarified.Materials and Methods: To address this issue, the study explored the function of CMTM family members in the prognosis of HCC by TCGA dataset, UALCAN, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, MethSurv, TIMER2.0 databases.Results: The CKLF and CMTM1/3/4/7/8 mRNA expression was obviously elevated in HCC tissues, while CMTM2/5/6 was lowly expressed. Besides, the mRNA level of CMTMs was closely linked to cancer stage, node metastasis status and tumor grades in HCC patients. What’s more, the expression of CMTM2/5 was correlated with favorable overall survival (OS), while high expressions CKLF and CMTM1/7 were associated with poor OS. Simultaneously, low CKLF and CMTM1/4/7 expressions were significantly relevant to better progression-free survival (PFS), while low CMTM5 expression was apparently concerned with worse PFS. In DNA methylation level, 47 CpGs of CMTMs displayed markedly prognostic values. Multivariate cox analysis also revealed that affecting shorter OS outcomes prognostic factors of CKLF and CMTM7 were independent. GSEA results suggested that CKLF and CMTM7 participated in the development and progression of HCC accompanied with multiple biological processes. Furthermore, CMTMs were dramatically associated with tumor immune infiltrating cells (TIICs) (e.g., neutrophils cells), but CMTM8 expression level was no significant correlations with TIICs.Conclusion: This study renders new insight into the prognostic values of CMTM family members in HCC. Overall, our results indicated that CKLF and CMTM7 could be the prognostic biomarkers in HCC patients.
