HOW SIGN MODE OF COMMUNICATION IMPROVES RECEPTIVE AND EXPRESSIVE SEMANTIC SKILLS IN HEARING-IMPAIRED STUDENTS
Authors: RAMADANI RASIMI Teuta
Published: September 2024

Sign language in countries like Kosovo and Albania was recognized as an official mode of communication among hearing-impaired persons in the last two decades. Nevertheless, in Albania until recently students were using only oral mode of communication in classrooms of special schools that they attended, while in Kosovo students in special schools were using sign language as a dominant mode of communication. The objective of our research was to assess the difference between receptive and expressive semantic skills based on one main variable, the mode of communication. In our research participated overall 50 students aged 8-15, divided as 8-11(younger) and 12-15 (elder), using the signed or oral mode of communication, all visiting the residential schools for children with hearing loss in Kosovo and Albania, by using Toss-p test primary for receptive and expressive semantic skills, including five areas, labels, categories, functions, attributes, and definitions, translated and adapted in the Albanian language. The large difference in performance between subjects that use the sign mode of communication and oral mode of communication in favor of signers in receptive tasks is a high indicator that sign language helps subjects to understand labels and attributes. The difference was evident for expressive tasks in favor of signers, where signers were able to state attributes, functions, and definitions better than subjects with the oral mode of communication, which means sign language has helped them to express the meaning of the areas. This indicates the importance of presenting sign language as early as possible.
APPLICATION OF LISTENING COMPREHENSION ACTIVITIES IN GJILAN AND DEÇAN SCHOOLS
Authors: KADRIJAJ QERIMI Laureta
Published: September 2024

The aim of this paper is to discuss the application of the listening comprehension activities in Kosovo schools, grades VI-VII. Listening comprehension is a very important skill in the process of learning a foreign language, and it should be integrated and put in practice along with other skills, so that the students get a better and easier acquisition of a language. Developing only writing and reading skills in a language is not enough, because listening and speaking skills are the ones that matter when we communicate in the real world situations. That is why it is important to treat and practice all four of them with the same consideration while teaching a foreign language, in order to prepare students for a fluent communication in everyday situations. In my experience as an English language lecturer, I have noticed that many students that have excellent reading and writing skills have unsatisfactory listening skills. This is due to insufficient inclusion and application of the listening comprehension activities in the classroom, especially in the early stages of their education, which is a crucial period for development and enhancement of all communication skills simultaneously. In order to have a better view of my hypothesis, I have chosen five lower secondary schools in Gjilan and Deçan Municipalities, because at this level of schooling students should be exposed more intensively to the listening activities, as younger stages are taught basics of English mainly through pictures, drawings and songs.
THE FUTURE OF TEACHING AND CARETAKING: AI ADVANCEMENTS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS
Authors: PAJAZITI Valentina , PAJAZITI Driton
Published: September 2024

In today's rapidly evolving world, new technologies and inventions on the horizon are changing our perspective on how we live and choose to live our lives. AI technologies like GPT-4, BERT, ChatGPT, Midjourney, and DALL-E are already changing how humans learn and interact—children and adults alike. The main implications of these technologies are observed in academic papers, programming, and idea generation. It is not that humans cannot be creative; rather, AI models offer users a wealth of ideas and information in record time, surpassing human capacities. Nevertheless, people are and will continue to misuse these technologies by relying on completed work and results. Thankfully, counter AI technologies are also improving at the same rate as AI, ensuring that today’s AI technologies are not perfect and do make mistakes. However, the future of teaching and caretaking will be impacted tremendously, with AI offering precision and consistency. Points will be raised on the morality of AI education as it will be "emotionless" and "dry"; however, while AI may lack emotion and personalization, its benefits, such as eliminating favoritism and grading bias, outweigh the drawbacks.

Published: September 2024

Land-use and land cover (LULC) changes for the Jackson, TN area from 1992–2011 were evaluated based on data from the National Landcover Database. During the time of study, this area underwent noted changes in LULC with an increase in the area defined as urban and decreases in forested and agricultural areas. This study also makes note of the increase in the number of days flash flood warnings were issued during the 1990’s as compared to the 2000’s. During the same time period, high intensity rainfall events during 1990’s (n=198) did not appreciably increase when compared to the 2000’s (n=208); therefore, increases in flash flood warnings were not influenced by changes in rainfall events. The purpose of this work was to determine if changes in LULC and increases in flash flood warnings were statistically significance. Overall, an increase in runoff of 25% for the study area between 1990-2011 was determined. The majority of correlation analyses between runoff/urban and runoff/agriculture were also found to be significant.
The journey into inquiry land in Tennessee: How to get there from anywhere? Lessons learned over 25 years
Authors: Gibson Michael , Byerly, Jr Don
Published: September 2024

Driven by changes in the National Standards during the 1990s, inquiry became the pedagogical methodology of choice for K-12 sciences as a major paradigm shift. Inquiry was chosen because it realistically and accurately modeled how scientists conduct scientific studies. Scientific inquiry is itself a learning process, and early educational research suggested that students learned more efficiently through inquiry. However, inquiry was a difficult pedagogy for teachers to learn and for students to experience, as it appears chaotic and decentralized. K-12 Earth science in Tennessee was in need of revitalization, in terms of shifting to the new Earth systems curriculum and incorporating inquiry as the pedagogy of delivery. To tackle both problems in tandem, the authors collaborated with the Tennessee Department of Education, Tennessee Science Teachers Association, and Tennessee Earth Science Teachers (TEST) to develop a series of Earth science professional development opportunities in which inquiry was modeled as the pedagogical vehicle and content was organized into Earth systems. We provide an anecdotal before-and-after perspective that spans 25 years of experiential lessons the workshop leaders learned about the “journey into inquiry land” from any other pedagogy. These lessons, applicable to all sciences, serve as the cornerstone to teaching inquiry to new teachers, as well as to seasoned veteran teachers making the switch to the inquiry-driven classroom.

A study to investigate the reasons for bank frauds and the implementation of preventive security controls in Indian banking industry
Authors: Khanna A. , Arora B.
Published: September 2024

This paper examines the issue of frauds from the perspective of banking industry. The study seeks to evaluate the various causes that are responsible for banks frauds. It aims to examine the extent to which bank employees follow the various fraud prevention measures including the ones prescribed by Reserve Bank of India. It aims to give an insight on the perception of bank employees towards preventive mechanism and their awareness towards various frauds. The study signifies the importance of training in prevention of bank frauds. A strong system of internal control and good employment practices prevent frauds and mitigate losses. The research reveals that implementation of various internal control mechanisms are not up to the mark. The results indicate that lack of training, overburdened staff, competition, low compliance level (the degree to which procedures and prudential practices framed by Reserve bank of India to prevent frauds are followed) are the main reasons for bank frauds. The banks should take the rising graph of bank frauds seriously and need to ensure that there is no laxity in internal control mechanism.
Game design as marketing: How game mechanics create demand for virtual goods
Authors: Hamari J. , Lehdonvirta V.
Published: September 2024

Selling virtual goods for real money is an increasingly popular revenue model for massively-multiplayer online games (MMOs), social networking sites (SNSs) and other online hangouts. In this paper, we argue that the marketing of virtual goods currently falls short of what it could be. Game developers have long created compelling game designs, but having to market virtual goods to players is a relatively new situation to them. Professional marketers, on the other hand, tend to overlook the internal design of games and hangouts and focus on marketing the services as a whole. To begin bridging the gap, we propose that the design patterns and game mechanics commonly used in games and online hangouts should be viewed as a set of marketing techniques designed to sell virtual goods. Based on a review of a number of MMOs, we describe some of the most common patterns and game mechanics and show how their effects can be explained in terms of analogous techniques from marketing science. The results provide a new perspective to game design with interesting implications to developers. Moreover, they also suggest a radically new perspective to marketers of ordinary goods and services: viewing marketing as a form of game design.

Consumer characteristics and their effect on accepting online shopping, in the context of different product types
Authors: Keisidou E. , Sarigiannidis L. , Maditinos D.
Published: September 2024

Online shopping is among the most popular activities of the internet, yet the reasons why consumers buy online are still unclear. Although it is implied that consumer acceptance of online shopping is affected by different products not many studies have adopted this view. This study attempts to examine consumers' attitude when making online purchases in the context of different product types. A theoretical framework is proposed based on the determinants of consumer behaviour and user acceptance of online shopping, as well as online product classification. The factors that were selected to be tested are Personal Innovativeness of Information Technology (PIIT), Self-efficacy, Perceived security, Privacy, Product involvement and how they affect consumer attitude towards online shopping. Correlation analysis, at first, to determine the relationships among the variables and regression analysis afterwards to verify the extent of the variable interaction were used to test the hypotheses. Based on the aforementioned analyses, results were drawn and compared to the results found by Lian and Lin (2008) in a similar study. It has been found that PIIT, perceived security and product involvement have an effect on the attitude towards online shopping, yet the results vary among the different product types.

Phytohormones are widely used in Solanum tuberosum plants to accelerate the in vitro multiplication process.
The main objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of phytohormones:
auxins (IAA, IBA, NAA), cytokinins (6-BAP, TDZ, Zeatin), and gibberellins (GA3) on the morphological characteristics of Solanum tuberosum L. var. Cecilia. In vitro established plants were used, and the in vitro multiplication was performed using nodal segments cultured in MS medium supplemented with 20 g.L⁻¹ sucrose, 7 g.L⁻¹ agar, and phytohormones. The plants were maintained under total fluorescent white light conditions. The number of nodes, number of leaves, plant height, and number of shoots were evaluated. At 21 days, the use of IBA (0.05 mg. L⁻¹ and 0.25 mg. L⁻¹) increased the number of nodes and the number of leaves.
Meanwhile, Zeatin concentrations of 0.05 mg. L⁻¹ and 0.1 mg. L⁻¹ increased the number of leaves, plant height, and number of shoots. Additionally, the concentration of 0.15 mg. L⁻¹ increased the plant height compared to GA3, and the concentration of 0.15 mg. L⁻¹ increased the number of nodes in S. tuberosum var. Cecilia plants.
Based on the results of this study, it was concluded that IBA, Zeatin, and GA3 promoted the in vitro multiplication of S. tuberosum var. Cecilia plants.

USULAN MANAJEMEN PENGGUNAAN HANDPHONE DI SEKOLAH BAGI SISWA SMP DI KOTA YOGYAKARTA
Authors: Jatiningrum Wandhansari Sekar , Astuti Fatma Hermining
Published: September 2024

Handphone (HP) bagi siswa dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai media pembelajaran. Namun,  penggunaan HP yang salah juga menyebabkan dampak negatif. Siswa di kota Yogyakarta yang dikenal memiliki kualitas pendidikan baik, juga rentan mengalami dampak negatif. Hal ini terutama bagi siswa SMP yang berada pada usia remaja awal. Terlebih adanya pandemi COVID-19 menyebabkan frekuensi penggunaan HP pada siswa meningkat karena adanya pembelajaran daring. Saat ini tiap sekolah memiliki kebijakan yang berbeda berkaitan dengan penggunaan HP oleh siswa di sekolah. Belum adanya forum yang mempertemukan perwakilan dari SMP di kota Yogyakarta menyebabkan belum diketahui secara detail berkaitan aturan tersebut. Untuk itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran aturan penggunaan HP saat ini dan memberikan usulan kebijakan berkaitan pemanfaatan teknologi dan penggunaan HP di sekolah oleh siswa SMP di kota Yogyakarta. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu kombinasi kuantitatif-kualitatif, dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan transkrip dan koding. Sampel yang digunakan yaitu 14 SMP di kota Yogyakarta yang mewakili setiap cluster sekolah. Analisis deskriptif dilakukan berdasarkan hasil kuesioner yang dibagikan kepada responden siswa, sedangkan teknik transkrip dan koding digunakan berdasarkan hasil wawancara dengan kepala sekolah, guru, siswa, orangtua siswa, dan UPT Layanan Disabilitas (ULD). Hasil wawancara menjadi acuan untuk rumusan kebijakan berkaitan aturan penggunaan HP untuk siswa SMP. Focus Group Discussion (FGD) dengan kepala sekolah dan ULD juga dilakukan untuk mengkonfirmasi hasil sementara peelitian dan menerima masukan. Hasil menunjukkan, SMP di kota Yogyakarta saat ini memiliki 2 jenis aturan yang diterapkan. Aturan tersebut yaitu: 1) siswa dilarang membawa HP ke sekolah; 2) siswa dibolehkan membawa HP ke sekolah tetapi harus dikumpulkan di loker kelas ataupun dititipkan untuk disimpan guru atau TU. Namun, kedua aturan tersebut mengizinkan siswa membawa HP ke kelas apabila guru meminta penggunaan HP sebagai media pembelajaran. Akibatnya terjadi penyalahgunaan HP untuk keperluan di luar pembelajaran. Untuk itu rancangan usulan kebijakan yang dibuat bagi sekolah terdiri dari 3 hal, yaitu: 1). Sosialisasi pada guru, siswa, dan orangtua siswa tentang pentingnya mendampingi siswa dalam penggunaan HP dan aturan sekolah tentang penggunaan HP; 2) Aturan penggunaan HP bagi siswa SMP di sekolah, yaitu siswa dibolehkan membawa HP ke sekolah tetapi harus dikumpulkan di loker kelas ataupun dititipkan untuk disimpan guru atau TU dalam keadaan mati dan dapat diambil kembali setelah jam pelajaran pada hari tersebut selesai; 3) HP tidak boleh digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran di dalam kelas. Namun, HP dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai media pembelajaran di luar sekolah.

Inventaire de papillons de jour (Papilionoidea) au bois de Brossard : portrait et tendances
Authors: Drapeau Picard André-Philippe
Published: September 2024

Dans les paysages anthropisés, les milieux naturels constituent des refuges pour la biodiversité. Le bois de Brossard fait partie de l’un des derniers grands habitats forestiers en Montérégie, au Québec. Cet article vise à brosser un portrait de la communauté de papillons de jour de ce site, puis à évaluer la contribution des milieux fermés et ouverts à la biodiversité du site. Les papillons de jour (Lepidoptera : Papilionoidea) du bois de Brossard ont été inventoriés de 2018 à 2022. Trente-six espèces ont été répertoriées. Le nombre d’espèces était comparable dans les 2 types de milieux, mais les courbes d’accumulation d’espèces et les indices de biodiversité laissent penser que le milieu ouvert est plus diversifié. De plus, 65 % des espèces étaient communes aux 2 types de milieux. Les données présentées dans cet article fourniront une base de référence pour documenter les changements futurs dans la composition des communautés des 2 types de milieux.
Neuroelectrophysiology-compatible electrolytic lesioning
Authors: Bray Iliana E , Clarke Stephen E , Casey Kerriann M , Nuyujukian Paul ,   for the Brain Interfacing Laboratory
Published: September 2024

Lesion studies have historically been instrumental for establishing causal connections between brain and behavior. They stand to provide additional insight if integrated with multielectrode techniques common in systems neuroscience. Here, we present and test a platform for creating electrolytic lesions through chronically implanted, intracortical multielectrode probes without compromising the ability to acquire neuroelectrophysiology. A custom-built current source provides stable current and allows for controlled, repeatable lesions in awake-behaving animals. Performance of this novel lesioning technique was validated using histology from ex vivo and in vivo testing, current and voltage traces from the device, and measurements of spiking activity before and after lesioning. This electrolytic lesioning method avoids disruptive procedures, provides millimeter precision over the extent and submillimeter precision over the location of the injury, and permits electrophysiological recording of single-unit activity from the remaining neuronal population after lesioning. This technique can be used in many areas of cortex, in several species, and theoretically with any multielectrode probe. The low-cost, external lesioning device can also easily be adopted into an existing electrophysiology recording setup. This technique is expected to enable future causal investigations of the recorded neuronal population’s role in neuronal circuit function, while simultaneously providing new insight into local reorganization after neuron loss.
Cannabinoid combination targets NOTCH1-mutated T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia through the integrated stress response pathway

Published: September 2024

In T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), more than 50% of cases display autoactivation of Notch1 signaling, leading to oncogenic transformation. We have previously identified a specific chemovar of Cannabis that induces apoptosis by preventing Notch1 maturation in leukemia cells. Here, we isolated three cannabinoids from this chemovar that synergistically mimic the effects of the whole extract. Two were previously known, cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabidivarin (CBDV), whereas the third cannabinoid, which we termed 331-18A, was identified and fully characterized in this study. We demonstrated that these cannabinoids act through cannabinoid receptor type 2 and TRPV1 to activate the integrated stress response pathway by depleting intracellular Ca2+. This is followed by increased mRNA and protein expression of ATF4, CHOP, and CHAC1, which is hindered by inhibiting the upstream initiation factor eIF2α. The increased abundance of CHAC1 prevents Notch1 maturation, thereby reducing the levels of the active Notch1 intracellular domain, and consequently decreasing cell viability and increasing apoptosis. Treatment with the three isolated molecules resulted in reduced tumor size and weight in vivo and slowed leukemia progression in mice models. Altogether, this study elucidated the mechanism of action of three distinct cannabinoids in modulating the Notch1 pathway, and constitutes an important step in the establishment of a new therapy for treating NOTCH1-mutated diseases and cancers such as T-ALL.

Genes are often regulated by multiple enhancers. It is poorly understood how the individual enhancer activities are combined to control promoter activity. Anecdotal evidence has shown that enhancers can combine sub-additively, additively, synergistically, or redundantly. However, it is not clear which of these modes are more frequent in mammalian genomes. Here, we systematically tested how pairs of enhancers activate promoters using a three-way combinatorial reporter assay in mouse cells. By assaying about 69,000 enhancer-enhancer-promoter combinations we found that enhancer pairs generally combine near-additively. This behaviour was conserved across seven developmental promoters tested. Surprisingly, these promoters scale the enhancer signals in a non-linear manner that depends on promoter strength. A housekeeping promoter showed an overall different response to enhancer pairs, and a smaller dynamic range. Thus, our data indicate that enhancers mostly act additively, but promoters transform their collective effect non-linearly.

How the fate (folding versus degradation) of glycoproteins is determined in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an intriguing question. Monoglucosylated glycoproteins are recognized by lectin chaperones to facilitate their folding, whereas glycoproteins exposing well-trimmed mannoses are subjected to glycoprotein ER-associated degradation (gpERAD); we have elucidated how mannoses are sequentially trimmed by EDEM family members (George et al., 2020, 2021 eLife). Although reglucosylation by UGGT was previously reported to have no effect on substrate degradation, here we directly tested this notion using cells with genetically disrupted UGGT1/2. Strikingly, the results showed that UGGT1 delayed the degradation of misfolded substrates and unstable glycoproteins including ATF6α. An experiment with a point mutant of UGGT1 indicated that the glucosylation activity of UGGT1 was required for the inhibition of early glycoprotein degradation. These and overexpression-based competition experiments suggested that the fate of glycoproteins is determined by a tug-of-war between structure formation by UGGT1 and degradation by EDEMs. We further demonstrated the physiological importance of UGGT1, since ATF6α cannot function properly without UGGT1. Thus, our work strongly suggests that UGGT1 is a central factor in ER protein quality control via regulation of both glycoprotein folding and degradation.

The heterogeneity of the physical environment determines the cost of transport for animals, shaping their energy landscape. Animals respond to this energy landscape by adjusting their distribution and movement to maximize gains and reduce costs. Much of our knowledge about energy landscape dynamics focuses on factors external to the animal, particularly the spatio-temporal variations of the environment. However, an animal’s internal state can significantly impact its ability to perceive and utilize available energy, creating a distinction between the ‘fundamental’ and the ‘realized’ energy landscapes. Here, we show that the realized energy landscape varies along the ontogenetic axis. Locomotor and cognitive capabilities of individuals change over time, especially during the early life stages. We investigate the development of the realized energy landscape in the Central European Alpine population of the golden eagle Aquila chrysaetos, a large predator that requires negotiating the atmospheric environment to achieve energy-efficient soaring flight. We quantified weekly energy landscapes using environmental features for 55 juvenile golden eagles, demonstrating that energetic costs of traversing the landscape decreased with age. Consequently, the potentially flyable area within the Alpine region increased 2170-fold during their first three years of independence. Our work contributes to a predictive understanding of animal movement by presenting ontogeny as a mechanism shaping the realized energy landscape.

As comunidades remanescentes de quilombos enfrentam desafios no acesso à saúde, sobretudo à atenção primária. Aquelas localizadas em áreas rurais, comumente encontradas no Brasil, enfrentam dificuldades adicionais, especialmente no deslocamento até o posto de saúde mais próximo de seu território. Nesta perspectiva, este estudo tem por objetivo analisar o acesso de pessoas idosas quilombolas às Unidades Básicas de Saúde. Trata-se de um estudo transversal de natureza exploratória, caracterizado por uma abordagem analítico-descritiva e qualitativa, embasado na Teoria das Representações Sociais. Foi realizado com vinte e quatro pessoas idosas que residem em uma Comunidade Remanescente de Quilombo, por meio da aplicação de um questionário abordando Dados Sociodemográficos e de Saúde, juntamente com Entrevistas Semiestruturadas. A análise das entrevistas foi realizada por meio da técnica de Análise de Conteúdo proposta por Bardin, com o suporte da ferramenta computacional IRAMUTEQ. O acesso das pessoas idosas quilombolas à Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF) reflete um cenário profundamente marcado por uma realidade onde desigualdades sociais e de saúde estão entrelaçadas, destacando as fragilidades e vulnerabilidades que caracterizam o período da velhice. Essas questões se manifestam de forma evidente na ausência de assistência à população idosa quilombola, influenciando negativamente as relações sociais de vida por meio da exclusão no âmbito da saúde.

Authors: Stroparo Telma Regina , Floriani Nicolas
Published: September 2024

Objective: This study aims to explore the concepts and applicability of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) tool in strategies aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Method: The analysis focused on the implementation costs of projects and processes on a rural property undergoing agroecological transition. Visible and hidden costs were identified and quantified using the TCO technique within this context. These costs were aligned with agroecological principles and the SDGs, aiming for economic self-sufficiency, operational cost reduction, enhanced efficiency, and greater resilience to future risks. Results: Opportunities were identified for improving economic self-sufficiency, reducing operational costs, and enhancing efficiency. Moreover, including subjective and hidden costs provided a comprehensive understanding of the social and environmental impacts of projects, products, or processes. Conclusions: Based on the findings, we conclude that applying the TCO tool in strategies aligned with the SDGs is an effective approach to promote economic self-sufficiency, environmental sustainability, and social inclusivity. Holistic assessment, integrating social, environmental, political, and cultural dimensions, contributes to safeguarding knowledge, practices, traditions, and biodiversity. Additionally, it fosters a sense of belonging, improves quality of life, supports sustainable development, and enhances local governance in family farming-oriented rural properties.
