Published: February 2021

Background: The dromedary camel plays a significant role in supporting the livelihood of pastoral and agropastoral systems, as well as a source of income for the national economy in arid regions. Aim: The current study was executed to check the comparative growth response in relation to hair mineral status in Marecha camel calves reared under an intensive management system and an extensive management system in Thal desert Punjab, Pakistan.Methods: Twelve male and female Camelus dromedarius calves of almost the same weight and age were divided into two groups of 6 each (3 male and 3 female). The calves of the first group were maintained at the Camel Breeding and Research Station, Rakh Mahni, in a semi-open housing system, while the second group was maintained in available housing under field conditions. Calves in the first group were fed concentrate at the rate of 1 kg/head/day along with gram straw (Cicer arientinum) ad libitum, while calves in the second group were allowed to graze/browse for 10 hours daily along with household refusals, including kitchen wastes. Water was provided twice a day. Impressum’s digital weighing scale was used for fortnightly weighing. Data collected on different parameters were subjected to statistical analysis with 2 × 2 factorial arrangements of treatments under a completely randomized design.Results: After the 120-day trial period, the mean body weight and average daily gain of male and female calves were significantly increased (p < 0.05) in IMS as 80.8 ± 2.7, 77.8 ± 2.7 kg and 0.67 ± 0.02, 0.65 ± 0.02 kg/days than EMS as 64.5 ± 2.6, 52.9 ± 2.6 kg and 0.54 ± 0.02, 0.44 ± 0.02 kg/days. Intake of crop residues (p < 0.05) was found to be 6.9 ± 0.45 and 6.4 ± 0.45 kg/days for male and female calves in IMS, respectively, and 3.5 ± 0.23 for male and female calves in EMS, respectively. The conversion index g/kg average daily intake was 97.1, 101.5 and 154.3, 125.7 for male and female calves in IMS and EMS, respectively. Regarding hair mineral status, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Mn concentrations were found to be significantly different (p < 0.05) among calf groups in IMS and EMS.Conclusion: This study indicates that wool analysis and management of weight gain in camel calves should be further explored to support increased meat supply in arid regions.

Published: February 2021

Background: Cranial luxation of the scapulohumeral has been rarely reported in dogs and there is limited information available regarding surgical management of this condition, particularly with respect to long-term functional outcomes.Case Description: This report describes the successful resolution of a chronic traumatic cranial scapulohumeral joint luxation in a dog that was stabilized by cranial transposition of the biceps brachii tendon of origin. At surgery, an osteotomy of the greater tubercle was performed and a trough was made in the exposed bed of the osteotomy. The transverse humeral ligament was incised, and the bicipital tendon was levered into the trough and secured in that location by reattachment of the greater tubercle using multiple Kirschner wires and a figure-of-eight tension band wire. Postoperatively, the dog was maintained in a Spica splint for 2 weeks. Although surgical reduction was performed 4 months after the original injury, the luxation did not recur and the dog did not have appreciable lameness 14 months following the surgery.Conclusion: Although cranial transposition of the bicipital tendon is an invasive procedure, this dog’s scapulohumeral luxation did not recur and the procedure yielded an excellent long-term functional outcome.

Authors: Latif Raja Mohammad
Published: February 2021

In 2016 A. Devika and A. Thilagavathi introduced a new class of sets called M*-open sets and investigated some properties of these sets in topological spaces. In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of spaces, namely M*-irresolute topological vector spaces via M*-open sets. We explore and investigate several properties and characterizations of this new notion of M*-irresolute topological vector space. We give several characterizations of M*-Hausdorff space. Moreover, we show that the extreme point of the convex subset of M*-irresolute topological vector space X lies on the boundary.
Developmental And Social-Class Differences In Language

Published: February 2021

It has often been suggested that lower social-class children are poor in their lang­uage abilities, and are in this respect deprived or disadvantaged. A suggestion contrary to this is here put forward; it is shown, by a comparison of language usage in upper and lower-social-class Jamaican children, that the two social-class extremes have different styles (formats) of communication, but that the two styles (formats) are equal in their capabilities.

Published: February 2021

Bitcoin can be considered as one of the most prevailed applications of Blockchain technology developed so far. It is the most eminent, decentralized and distributed network-based platform. Without using real names, it provides a pseudo name interface through which management and verification of transactions are performed by the user being anonymous. Blockchain which itself works as a virtual ledger consists of data in the form of various blocks connected in a chain. Although it is providing the Invisibility of user Identity but extracting and combining the data and profile from the Blockchain, the identity can be revealed. Thus, in contrast to that, many researchers and data scientists have suggested the amendments and proposals to enhance the Invisibility of user Identity and Concealment of Bitcoin customer. We project out some theories, project analyses and methodologies that certainly supports the concern of the improvement of Bitcoin Customer anonymity.

Published: February 2021

Qualitative health research plays a central role in exploring individuals’ experiences and perceptions of wellness, illness, and healthcare services. Visual tools are increasingly used for data elicitation. An ecomap is a visual tool that applies ecosystems theory to human communities and relationships to provide an illustration of the quality of relationships. We describe the use of ecomaps in qualitative health research. Searches across eight databases identified 407 citations. We screened them in duplicate to identify 129 publications that underwent full text review and included 73 in the final synthesis. We classified and summarized data based on iterative comparisons across sources. Benefits of using ecomaps include improving rapport and engagement with study participants, facilitating iterative question development, and highlighting the social contexts of relationships. When used in conjunction with interviews, they promote data credibility through triangulation. Investigators have used ecomaps as a tool to facilitate primary and secondary analysis of data. Researchers have adapted the ecomap to meet their health research needs. Challenges to their use include additional time and training needed to complete, and potential privacy and confidentiality concerns. Ecomaps can be useful in qualitative health research to enhance data elicitation, analysis, presentation, and to augment study rigor.

This article analyzes the impact of neoconservative ideology on the formation of national security paradigms in the United States and reveals the impact of views and ideas put forward by U.S. neoconservatives on the formation of public administration, especially security goals in domestic and foreign policy. In particular, the role of Albert Walstetter, a well-known proponent of neoconservative views, in the formation of security concepts is discussed. The role of political philosopher Leo Strauss’s political-philosophical and military-strategic approaches in the development of neoconservative ideology and the conceptual basis of modern security problems are theoretically analyzed. It is emphasized that the assessment of the impact of neoconservative ideology on the formation of security policy in the development of political processes related to public administration in the United States depends on understanding the content of formed neoconservative security concepts. Based on the predominance of national interests based on national security approaches in the ideology of neoconservatism, the inﬂuence of neoconservatism on the interpretation of international relations as a highly conﬂicted, the anarchic environment is revealed in the formation of the neoconservative paradigm of security. In the following periods, the implementation of Albert Walstetter and Leo Strauss’s military-strategic ideas under the inﬂuence of neoconservatives in the US administration, in particular, the practice of proposing to continue the foreign policy course on the use of military force as a factor of national security.

In Arabic, the verb takes a signifcant place among the parts of speech. Without knowing the morphological features of Arabic verbs, it is impossible to maser many of the rules of other parts of speech. This article is devoted to auxiliary verbs, which, together with the main verb, convey additional meaning to the action of the subject. In Arabic, the topic of auxiliary verbs has
attracted the attention of linguiss from the early Middle Ages to the present. The mos recent sudies on this topic are collected in the works of Abbas Hasan, Musafa Galayini, Fuad Nemat, Antoine Dahdakh, Abu Bakr Abdul Ali. In this article, the issue of the semantic classifcation of auxiliary verbs is scientifcally subsantiated. According to it, verbs are divided into such semantic groups as: “verbs of being and becoming”, “beginning verbs”, “verbs denoting the proximity of an action”, “verbs denoting the likelihood of an action” and others that assign the above meanings to the main verb. “ ”كان و أخواتهاare the mos commonly used among others, they perform the function of a linking verb and require the setting of a nominal predicate in the accusative case. And in verb sentences, together with the verb-predicate, they form a complex temporary consruction. The verbs أفعال الشروعrequire the subject in the nominative and the predicate in the accusative and denote the beginning of the action of semantic verbs. The predicate after the verbs أفعال المةاربةcan be a whole sentence. Also, the verbs أفعال المقاربةcan be both semantic and auxiliary. In Arabic, auxiliary verbs are verbs of a wide variety of uses in a sentence. They not only determine the degree and sate, but also the time of action. During the research, it became known that there is another type of auxiliary verbs that demonsrate excitement, desire and feelings

Bu çalışmada son dönem birbirlerinin yerini ikame ederek kullanılan sağ popülizm ve faşizm kavramları incelenecektir. Bu noktada kavramsal bir karmaşa yaşanmaktadır. Son dönem iktidara gelen yahut güç kazanan sağ hareketleri tanımlama noktasında kullanılan bu iki kavramın aynı türden olup olmadığını anlamak söz konusu kavramsal karmaşanın önüne geçme noktasında kolaylaştırıcı olacaktır. Dolayısıyla çalışmada öncelikle popülist stratejinin ne olduğu ve söz konusu kavrama yaklaşımlar incelenecek, bunun ardından ise sağ popülizmin popülizmle benzerlik ve farklılıklar incelenecektir. Sağ popülizmin ne olduğu anlaşıldıktan sonra faşizm kavramına benzer bir literatür taraması yöntemiyle yaklaşılacaktır. İki kavrama dair yaklaşımların altı çizildikten sonra bu iki kavram birbirleriyle karşılaştırılacak ve bu karşılaştırmanın sonucunda kavramsal bir netleşme sağlanacaktır. Bu noktada belirtilmesi gereken ise asıl karmaşaya yol açan kavramın popülizm olması gerekçesiyle bu kavrama daha fazla yer ayrılmış olmasıdır. Faşizm ise geniş külliyatına rağmen üzerinde görece anlaşmaya varılmış bir kavramdır.

AES High-Level SystemC Modeling using Aspect Oriented Programming Approach
Authors: Mestiri H. , Barraj I. , Machhout M.
Published: February 2021

The increasing complexity of the cryptographic modeling and security simulation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) necessitate fast modeling and simulation security environment. The SystemC language is used in Electronic System Level (ESL) that allows cryptographic models to achieve high security and modeling simulation speed. Yet, the use of SystemC in the security simulation requires modifications of the original code which increases the modeling complexity. The Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) can be used in the cryptographic modeling and security simulations without any code modification. In this paper, a new AES SystemC model using the AOP technique is presented. A functional verification environment is proposed to test the functionality of the AES SystemC AOP model, the impact of AOP on simulation time, and the size of the executable files. The design of the AES model is developed with the weaving of all modules by AspectC++ which is an AOP language. The Simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed AES model and the uses of the AOP technique do not have a significant impact on simulation time or on the size of the executable file.

Factor Analysis (FA) is the study of variance within a group. Within-Subject Variance (WSV) is affected by multiple features in a study context such as the Experimental Design (ED) or the Sampling Design (SD). The aim of this study is to provide an empirical evaluation of the influence of different aspects of ED and SD on WSV in the context of FA in terms of model precision. The study results showed that the precisions of the overall model fit indices TLI and CFI, as functions of VTF, STV, h2, and their interaction, varied, as did the precisions of the overall model fit indices GFI, AGFI, and RMSEA as functions of VTF, STV, and their interactions. Overall, when the VTF is 4:1 or 7:1, the required STV is 16:1 or above 32:1 or above to show precision in factor solution.

O timing da publicação de alguns destes documentos, especificamente, os normativos legais (fim do ano letivo em que o corpo docente estava prestes a entrar de férias) fez com que a grande maioria não se tivesse apropriado da nova filosofia/ideologia e empreendesse num caminho pouco seguro e sem formação específica para o efeito, no ano letivo anterior. Assim, surgiu a necessidade de criar uma oficina de formação com o intuito de ajudar os formandos/docentes a: compreender as formas de articular o Perfil do Aluno (PA) com as Aprendizagens Essenciais (AE) e o Currículo; compreender as implicações práticas da articulação proveniente do PA com as AE e o Currículo; problematizar as potencialidades da planificação interdisciplinar como forma de fomentar práticas inclusivas; e, fomentar o desenvolvimento de práticas pedagógicas interdisciplinares através de práticas colaborativas entre professores. Neste sentido, aplicou-se uma questão diagnóstico, na primeira sessão de trabalho presencial, com o intuito de perceber as conceções dos formandos/docentes sobre as componentes do currículo, conceito basilar e estrutural de qualquer sistema educativo.

Interactive digital book was produced on the topics importance of statistics and presentation of information, for the statistical subjects taught at the Faculty of Higher Studies Cuautitlán, the book was made with an interactive approach, that is, in most chapters there are HTML5 objects that students can access by connecting to the Internet from any mobile device or PC. The themes of this interactive book were statistics, variables and measurement levels, pie graph, bar graph, histogram, dot graph, stem and leaf graph, line graph and form. The interactive digital book contemplates that each chapter indicates prerequisites, learning objectives, written development of the topic in the form of questions and answers, videos with explanation, interactive exercises, widget (html 5, interactive galleries, interactive images, etc.) review questions, internet activities and resources.The interactive digital book will offer students a full-screen experience with galleries, videos, interactive diagrams, mathematical expressions and more, these books bring content to life in ways that a printed page cannot. Students will no longer be limited to static images illustrating traditional texts, but can now immerse themselves in an image with interactive captions, bringing an answer to life in a chapter review.They can flip through a book by simply sliding a finger on the screen. They can also highlight text, take notes, search for content, and find definitions in a glossary very easily. Plus, they can take them wherever they go, allowing students to learn not only within the classroom walls, but also in the virtual space that these books make up.

Teniendo en cuenta la rápida proliferación de tecnologías sanitarias y su adopción cada vez más generalizada, las tecnologías digitales tienen el potencial de cambiar el método de control sanitario y la atención médica personalizada en el ámbito de la Salud Mental. Sin embargo, para integrarlas en un sistema de prestación de servicios de salud asistencial, los médicos y/o terapeutas, diseñadores y programadores necesitan conocer los parámetros más importantes que influyen directamente en el uso de aplicaciones interactivas online orientada a pacientes de Salud Mental.Para poder diseñar este tipo de aplicaciones con una base sólida y que proporcione a los usuarios una Experiencia de Usuario (UX) óptima es importante adherirse a una serie de principios relacionados con el diseño para herramientas digitales. Nos referimos a los Principios para el Desarrollo Digital, que se crearon para guiar a las organizaciones internacionales, las organizaciones de salud y a los desarrolladores de dispositivos móviles en la integración de mejores prácticas en el diseño de programas de prestación de servicios compatibles con la tecnología digital.

Estudar a inclusão implica conhecer e explorar diversas áreas do conhecimento em função das relações e intercâmbios entre pessoas, grupos e organizações sociais. O Mestrado em Comunicação Acessível do Politécnico de Leiria (Portugal), ao olhar de forma holística para o indivíduo, procura aproximar os estudantes da realidade com que se confrontarão na sua vida profissional, apresentando uma panorâmica abrangente das perspetivas sob as quais se pode abordar questões de deficiência em todos os domínios da vida pessoal e social. Para o efeito, a formação académica, em regime de ensino a distância, inclui docentes cuja área e experiência profissional é diversificada, procurando adotar práticas de ensino-aprendizagem que permitam a exploração, reflexão e análise de casos reais. A partir dos conhecimentos adquiridos, espera-se que os estudantes possam identificar as necessidades de pessoas que apresentam os quatro domínios da deficiência (motora, intelectual, auditivo e visual) e as condicionantes dos contextos que frequentam, delineando possíveis soluções. O artigo procura contribuir para a reflexão em torno da relevância da metodologia baseada em problemas e cenários reais, a partir do caso concreto da Unidade Curricular de Inclusão na Educação, Profissão e Lazer. Nesta procura-se simular um trabalho de consultoria que envolva profissionais de diversas áreas, tendo por base a legislação nacional e as normas internacionais que regulamentam os direitos e os deveres da pessoa com deficiência no âmbito da educação, da inclusão no mercado de trabalho e no acesso à cultura e ao lazer.

El constante cambio en el entorno junto a la transformación tecnológica requieren una educación moderna, donde las herramientas de gamificación se utilicen en beneficio de la formación de los estudiantes. En los últimos años ha habido un aumento del interés académico en la gamificación y estudios previos han demostrado la eficacia de las herramientas de gamificación en el aula frente a las metodologías convencionales. El propósito de este trabajo es examinar la percepción de los estudiantes sobre la utilización de herramientas de gamificación (Mentimeter y Quizizz) en la docencia universitaria. Pretendemos valorar cómo los estudiantes perciben si han contribuido a lograr un aprendizaje significativo, o cómo han afectado a su grado de engagement y estrés en la asignatura. Para ello, se analizarán los datos recogidos a través de encuestas realizadas a los alumnos de varios grados en dos asignaturas de organización de empresas de la Universitat Jaume I de Castellón. Las conclusiones obtenidas servirán para alentar a los docentes a considerar el uso de herramientas de gamificación innovadoras para que los estudiantes puedan participar más en el proceso de aprendizaje.

Published: February 2021

El primer trimestre del 2020 será una fecha muy difícil de olvidar para la humanidad, ya que fue cuando impacto con mayor fuerza la pandemia de Covid-19 al nivel mundial, mostrando todas las debilidades que tienen como sociedad, y la poca preparación, medios , instrumentos y disciplina que existe para enfrentar un fenómeno de este tipo a una macroescala tal como sucedió. En México en el campo de la educación en todos sus niveles, los ambientes virtuales y digitales fueron la herramienta más poderosa para poder salir adelante durante la pandemia, pero así como en otras áreas se verán las fortalezas y debilidades que se tiene para tratar de solventar y en parte reemplazar todo lo que ofrece la educación presencial, mostrando los niveles tan marcados que existen de desigualdad social y las carencias limitadas para poder operar ante las contingencias sanitarias. Es por eso que, la siguiente investigación muestra como fueron utilizados algunos de los ambientes virtuales y digitales en el campo de la educación mexicana y además de ciertos resultados originados por este análisis (positivos como los negativos) y qué serán de gran ayuda contribuyendo en un futuro en poder aprender de esta experiencia para ser utilizado como una herramienta poderosa a favor de la educación y de la sociedad. Por último se veran algunas de las acciones y propuestas de solución utilizando los entornos virtuales y digitales por parte del área de diseño industrial de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México y que están pensadas para contribuir a combatir al Covid-19 desde el sector educativo y social.
