Impact of formative assessment based on feedback loop model on high school students’ conceptual understanding and engagement with physics
Authors: Ole Faith Celeste , Gallos Marilou R.
Published: September 2023

This study examined the effects of using the Feedback Loop Model (FLM) in Grade 12 Senior High School (SHS) Physics classes. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design, 58 students identified from a simple random sampling method were tested for their conceptual understanding and engagement with in kinematics. The results showed that students’ engagement had been significantly affected when their physics teachers practised formative assessment (FA) using the Feedback Loop Model in their synchronous classes. These implications were supported by both quantitative and qualitative data in the study. With the use of Wilcoxon Signed-rank Test, statistical differences were obtained in the four dimensions of the engagement tool in terms of agentic engagement (Z = 3.37, p < .001), behavioural engagement (Z = 4.82, p < .001), emotional engagement (Z = 4.06, p < .001), and cognitive engagement (Z = 4.40, p < .001). Meanwhile, for students’ conceptual understanding, the difference between their pre-and posttests mean scores in kinematics revealed a significant difference (t (57) = 17.76, p < .001), suggesting that teachers’ classroom practices towards FA using FLM affected students’ level of conceptual understanding in Kinematics. Employing Cohen’s d to measure its practical significance also showed a large effect (d = 2.83). Thus, it is recommended that implementing FA based on FLM could significantly impact the engagement and learning process of high school physics students.

Intereligious dialogue between Islam & Judaism
Authors: Qureshi Dr. Abdul Basit
Published: September 2023

This paper discusses the potential for religious dialogue between Islam and Judaism, drawing on certain points where it becomes challenging. It is argued that Judaism while having belief as Chosen people of God does not look as harmonious with Islam and hence puts the engagement in interfaith dialogue into question. Owing to the fact that,  it neither  regards Islam as a new religion but rather as a continuation of Judaism, nor regards the Messenger of Allah, ? as a new prophet because he borrowed all teachings from the Jewish books. Additionally, they despise Islam since the Qur'an provides a critical account of Jewish beliefs to actualize them. Islam, on the other hand, considers the Torah and Talmud being heavenly revealed texts.  In this prospect, several shreds of evidences from the Quran & Sunnah are presented to establish that Islam not only recognizes religious pluralism but also respects freedom of religiosity. After carrying out an analytical and critical study, it can be concluded that Judaism does not seem as felicitated to engage in religious dialogue with Islam. Even so, Islam's doors remain open to create mutual coexistence and a peaceful environment.
“Liberal tide” and migratory patterns in Latin America
Authors: Campani Giovanna
Published: September 2023

South-South migration constitutes 40% of international migration flows, with Southern countries receiving three-quarters of the world’s total refugees. Despite this, research efforts have mainly focused on South-North migration, partly filling the gap only recently. We found that the migration patterns in Latin America, at the turn of the century, doubled, growing from 7 million immigrants in 1990 to nearly 15 million in 2020. Of particular interest is the Latin American approach to migration, which has embraced, since 2000, strong narrative based on human rights principles that prevails in discourses, policies, and laws. Key aspects of this approach include recognizing migration as a human right, refraining from criminalizing irregular migration, and ensuring equal protection of social rights. This approach has been defined as the “liberal tide.” The paper illustrates the link between the “liberal tide” and the “pink tide” (left-wing governments). However, the choice of human rights-based liberal migratory policies may also be embedded in the specific migratory patterns of the region. In the late 20th century, the status of Latin America has transformed from a destination for immigrants originating from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East to a region of significant source of migrants engaging in both interregional migration and transoceanic migration (including Europe and Japan). This two-sided migration experience has likely exerted a notable influence on the formulation of liberal policies.

Published: September 2023

Drug abuse has been proven to be a mental disorder because of the heavy intake of substances usage controlled by the environment. Environmental factors play a significant role in drug addiction and recovery. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding environmental factors contributing to relapse and hinder motivation for recovery among drug addicts in Malaysia. Therefore, the objective of this research is to find out the impact of the environment on drug relapse and motivation recovery in former addicts. For this purpose, a cross-sectional research design was utilized whereby a self-administered questionnaire was randomly distributed among 50 Malaysian drug addicts. Data were analysed through IBM SPSS software version 25.0, and the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach supported by Smart-PLS 3.3 to analyse the research model. The findings of the study indicated that the environment significantly impacts motivation recovery and relapse. Furthermore, the positive environment influences motivation for recovery in former addicts and pushes the addicts to relapse after rehabilitation. The study will provide insights into the environmental factors that contribute to drug addiction and relapse in Malaysia.

Published: September 2023

Whilst the Covid-19 outbreak has deleteriously influenced the functioning of most organizations, Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) of Community Learning Centres (CLC) has an essential role in achieving stakeholder satisfaction. CLC shall carry out quality assurance independently in terms of establishing, fulfilling, evaluating, and developing educational standards that can guarantee the function of implementing educational programs and managing the institutions to run effectively, efficiently, and sustainably. This study employed an explanatory sequential design conducted on CLCs in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data was collected and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results show that during the Covid-19 epidemic, the IQA's performance is in the high category for all assessed indicators, namely input, output, outcome, and impact. However, IQA administrators should develop the performance of IQA management that is restricted to learning aspects, predominately involves external parties, and is constrained by facilities to improve their quality. As a result, the performance should be determined by the internal demands and capabilities of CLC, giving emphasis to work-based, all-encompassing, and long-lasting learning.

Authors: Ballmer Sinja , Katzenstein Rahel
Published: September 2023

Der Beitrag stellt ein Entwicklungsprojekt zur sprachlichen Bildung beim Philosophieren mit Kindern vor. Dozierende haben gemeinsam mit Lehrpersonen Unterrichtssequenzen entwickelt und durchgeführt. Der fachdidaktische Diskurs zum Philosophieren hat häufig bereits den bewussten Umgang mit Sprachhandlungen (z.B. Argumentieren) im Blick, indem dafür verschiedene stufenangepasste Redemittel angeboten werden. Um die Kinder jedoch auch auf der Ebene des Inhalts sprachlich zu unterstützen, fügten sich die Unterrichtssequenzen in grössere Unterrichtsthemen ein und fokussierten die Förderung des Wortschatzes. Schliesslichnutzt das Projekt drei Modalitäten zur Implementierung des Ansatzes: Kooperationen mit Lehrpersonen, interdisziplinäre Ausbildungsgefässe und eine praxisorientierte Handreichung.

Design Basis Considerations for the Design of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
Authors: Gudmestad Ove Tobias , Schnepf Anja
Published: September 2023

The wind farm owner/operator must prepare a Design Basis to facilitate the design of floating offshore wind turbines. The Design Basis is crucial to ensure that the individual elements of the wind farm are designed according to the relevant standards and the actual site conditions. In case of under-design, systematic failures can occur across the wind turbines, which can result in progressive damage to the turbines of the wind farm. This paper focuses on the safety and overall economics, including limiting potential excessive costs of heavy maintenance caused by damage due to under-design. Thus, this paper highlights critical aspects of particular importance to be implemented in the Design Basis document. Meeting all required constraints for developing offshore wind farms in deep water may result in higher costs than initially anticipated. Nonetheless, a realistic cost estimation for all phases of the project, engineering, construction, transport, and installation on site, remains essential for all engineering projects, including those involving renewable energy.

The liver is one of the organs most commonly involved in metastatic disease, especially due to its unique vascularization. It’s well known that liver metastases represent the most common hepatic malignant tumors. From a practical point of view, it’s of utmost importance to evaluate the presence of liver metastases when staging oncologic patients, to select the best treatment possible, and finally to predict the overall prognosis. In the past few years, imaging techniques have gained a central role in identifying liver metastases, thanks to ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). All these techniques, especially CT and MRI, can be considered the non-invasive reference standard techniques for the assessment of liver involvement by metastases. On the other hand, the liver can be affected by different focal lesions, sometimes benign, and sometimes malignant. On these bases, radiologists should face the differential diagnosis between benign and secondary lesions to correctly allocate patients to the best management. Considering the above-mentioned principles, it’s extremely important to underline and refresh the broad spectrum of liver metastases features that can occur in everyday clinical practice. This review aims to summarize the most common imaging features of liver metastases, with a special focus on typical and atypical appearance, by using MRI.

Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third primary cause of disability in adults all over the world. The increasing incidence of stroke seriously affects the lives of patients, especially those who are disabled after stroke. It cost a lot of money for the treatment and adds a heavy burden to the families of stroke patients. Ischemic stroke patients account for the majority of stroke patients. Due to the lack of effective treatment methods for ischemic stroke, prevention is currently considered to be the best measure. Strengthening the study of the risk factors for ischemic stroke and control the risk factors to reduce the morbidity and mortality of ischemic stroke is very important. However, the studies on risk factors for ischemic stroke are limited and the researchers’ views are inconsistent, the studies on some risk factors or potential risk factors for ischemic stroke didn’t have an in-depth studies and lack being taking seriously. Some independent biochemical risk factors for ischemic stroke that can be applied to guide clinical work and help patients to improve their disease conditions are lacking. The article aims to summarize the biochemistry risk factors or potential biochemistry risk factors for ischemic stroke, especially those studied in recent five years, in order to help researchers to facilitate them for making further studies on exploring their association.

Background. Due to dysfunction of the facial nerve (CN VII), Bell’s palsy occurs which is a facial paralysis of unknown cause, but viral infection is suspected. The study aims to determine the prevalence of facial nerve palsy in a private clinic in Basrah. Methods. The study was conducted at a private clinic and involved sixty-five patients with facial nerve palsy. It was a cross-sectional study in which any patient who attended the clinic and exhibited signs and symptoms of lower motor neuron facial nerve palsy underwent an examination to confirm the diagnosis and, if confirmed, were included in the study. While patients with other neurological disorders were excluded. Data collection started between October 1, 2022, and April 30, 2023. A total of 65 patients from the private clinic—males and females—aged from 4 to 70 years old were confirmed as having lower motor neuron facial nerve palsy. Results. This study at a private clinic found that Bell’s palsy was the most common facial paralysis, affecting more males than females and most of the patients in the age range of 18-39 years, also affecting mostly the left side, with onset more frequent during hot and cool weather conditions. Diabetes was significantly related to the onset of Bell’s palsy and weather temperature at the time of the clinic visit. Conclusion. Bell’s palsy has a peak age prevalence in the second and third decades of life, and temperature variations have no effect on the occurrence of Bell’s Palsy. Further studies are needed for an accurate estimation of the number of cases, to assess the severity, impact, and efficacy of Bell’s palsy management.

Background. Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune reaction against peripheral nerves that manifests clinically as acute polyradiculoneuropathy. Classic sensory-motor, pure motor, paraparesis, pharyngeal-cervical-brachial, Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis, pure sensory, bilateral facial palsy with paresthesia, and Miller-Fisher syndrome are all known variants of GBS. This case report seeks to describe a case of GBS with involvement of the cranial nerves. Case report. A 39-year-old right-handed Balinese woman presented with LMN (Lower Motor Neuron) type paraparesis with ascending paralysis and involvement of cranial nerves III through XII. The results of the LCS (Liquor Cerebro-Spinal) demonstrate albuminocytological dissociation. According to the patient’s EMNG (electromyoneurography) findings, Guillain-Barré Syndrome was of the AMAN (acute motor axonal neuropathy) variety. The patient was diagnosed with multiple cranial neuropathies and GBS of the AMAN type. EGRIS (Erasmus GBS Respiratory Insufficiency Score) was 3, and EGOS (Erasmus GBS Obstructive Sleep Apnea Score) was also 3. Following IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin) treatment, the patient exhibited clinical improvement (Hughes score decreased from 4 to 2). Discussion. The patient exhibits clinical manifestations of flaccid tetraparesis and multiple cranial nerve paresis. The clinical condition of the patient did not meet the criteria for GBS clinical variation. Symptoms of flaccid tetraparesis that do not involve the senses are classified as the motor-only variant. This patient’s differential diagnosis includes the possibility of MFS and ophthalmoplegia. This patient, however, had flaccid tetraparesis and no ataxia. Electromyoneurography (EMNG) examination produces AMAN-type GBS. The patient was diagnosed with one of the clinical variants of GBS, AMAN-type GBS with multiple cranial neuropathies. Conclusion. A case of GBS of the AMAN type accompanied by multiple cranial neuropathies has been reported.

As one of the closest supernovae (SNe) in the last decade, SN 2023ixf is an unprecedented target to investigate the progenitor star that exploded. However, there is still significant uncertainty in the reported progenitor properties. In this work, we present a detailed study of SN 2023ixf’s progenitor with two independent analyses. We first modeled its spectral energy distribution (SED) based on Hubble Space Telescope optical, Spitzer mid-infrared (IR), and ground-based near-IR data. We find that stellar pulsation and circumstellar extinction have great impacts on SED fitting, and the result suggests a relatively massive red supergiant surrounded by C-rich dust with an initial mass of 16.2–17.4 M
⊙. The corresponding rate of mass loss occurring at least 3 yr before the SN explosion is about 2 × 10−4
M
⊙ yr−1. We also derived the star formation history of the SN environment based on resolved stellar populations, and the most recent star-forming epoch corresponds to a progenitor initial mass of 17–19 M
⊙, in agreement with that from our SED fitting. Therefore, we conclude that the progenitor of SN 2023ixf is close to the high-mass end for Type II SN progenitors.

The tumultuous early era of outer solar system evolution culminated when Neptune migrated across the primordial Kuiper Belt (PKB) and triggered a dynamical instability among the giant planets. This event led to the ejection of ∼99.9% of the PKB (here called the destabilized population), heavy bombardment of the giant planet satellites, and the capture of Jupiter’s Trojans. While this scenario has been widely tested using dynamical models, there have been fewer investigations into how the PKB, its destabilized population, and the Trojans experienced collisional evolution. Here we examined this issue for all three populations with the code Boulder. Our constraints included the size–frequency distributions (SFDs) of the Trojan asteroids and craters on the giant planet satellites. Using this combination, we solved for the unknown disruption law affecting bodies in these populations. The weakest ones, from an impact energy per mass perspective, were diameter D ∼ 20 m. Overall, collisional evolution produces a power-law-like shape for multikilometer Trojans and a wavy-shaped SFD in the PKB and destabilized populations. The latter can explain (i) the shapes of the ancient and younger crater SFDs observed on the giant planet satellites, (ii) the shapes of the Jupiter family and long-period comet SFDs, which experienced different degrees of collision evolution, and (iii) the present-day impact frequency of superbolides on Jupiter and smaller projectiles on Saturn’s rings. Our model results also indicate that many observed comets, the majority which are D < 10 km, are likely to be gravitational aggregates formed by large-scale collision events.
Origin-of-life Molecules in the Atmosphere after Big Impacts on the Early Earth

The origin of life on Earth would benefit from a prebiotic atmosphere that produced nitriles, like HCN, which enable ribonucleotide synthesis. However, geochemical evidence suggests that Hadean air was relatively oxidizing with negligible photochemical production of prebiotic molecules. These paradoxes are resolved by iron-rich asteroid impacts that transiently reduced the entire atmosphere, allowing nitriles to form in subsequent photochemistry. Here we investigate impact-generated reducing atmospheres using new time-dependent, coupled atmospheric chemistry and climate models that account for gas-phase reactions and surface catalysis. The resulting H2-, CH4-, and NH3-rich atmospheres persist for millions of years, until the hydrogen escapes to space. The HCN and HCCCN production and rainout to the surface can reach 109 molecules cm−2 s−1 in hazy atmospheres with a mole ratio of CH4/CO2 > 0.1. Smaller CH4/CO2 ratios produce HCN rainout rates of <105 molecules cm−2 s−1 and negligible HCCCN. The minimum impactor mass that creates atmospheric CH4/CO2 > 0.1 is 4 × 1020–5 × 1021 kg (570–1330 km diameter), depending on how efficiently iron reacts with a steam atmosphere, the extent of atmospheric equilibration with an impact-induced melt pond, and the surface area of nickel that catalyzes CH4 production. Alternatively, if steam permeates and deeply oxidizes the crust, impactors of ∼1020 kg could be effective. Atmospheres with copious nitriles have >360 K surface temperatures, perhaps posing a challenge for RNA longevity, although cloud albedo can produce cooler climates. Regardless, postimpact cyanide can be stockpiled and used in prebiotic schemes after hydrogen has escaped to space.
Robot-in-the-loop: Prototyping robotic digitisation at the Natural History Museum

The Natural History Museum, London (NHM) is home to an impressive collection of over 80 million specimens, of which just 5.5 million have been digitised. Like all similar collections, digitisation of these specimens is very labour intensive, requiring time-consuming manual handling. Each specimen is extracted from its curatorial unit, placed for imaging, labels are manually manipulated, and then returned to storage. Thanks to the NHM’s team of digitisers, workflows are becoming more efficient as they are refined. However, many of these workflows are highly repetitive and ideally suited to automation. The museum is now exploring integrating robots into the digitisation process.

The NHM has purchased a Techman TM5 900 robotic arm, equipped with integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) software and additional features such as custom grippers and a 3D scanner. This robotic arm combines advanced imaging technologies, machine learning algorithms, and robotic manipulation capabilities to capture high-quality specimen data, making it possible to digitise vast collections efficiently (Fig. 1).

We showcase the NHM's application of robotics for digitisation, outlining the use cases developed for implementation and the prototypical workflows already in place at the museum. We will explore our invasive and non-invasive digitisation experiments, the many challenges, and the initial results of our early experiments with this transformative technology.

Tropical deep reefs (~40–300 m) are diverse ecosystems that serve as habitats for diverse communities of reef-associated fishes. Deep-reef fish communities are taxonomically and ecologically distinct from those on shallow reefs, but like those on shallow reefs, they are home to a species-rich assemblage of small, cryptobenthic reef fishes, including many species from the family Gobiidae (gobies). Here we describe two new species of deep-reef gobies, Varicus prometheussp. nov. and V. roatanensissp. nov., that were collected using the submersible Idabel from rariphotic reefs off the island of Roatan (Honduras) in the Caribbean. The new species are the 11th and 12th species of the genus Varicus, and their placement in the genus is supported by morphological data and molecular phylogenetic analyses. Additionally, we also collected new specimens of the closely-related genus and species Pinnichthys aimoriensis during submersible collections off the islands of Bonaire and St. Eustatius (Netherland Antilles) and included them in this study to expand the current description of that species and document its range extension from Brazil into the Caribbean. Collectively, the two new species of Varicus and new records of P. aimoriensis add to our growing knowledge of cryptobenthic fish diversity on deep reefs of the Caribbean.
