Recent Discovery and Development on SARS-CoV-2: A Review of Current Literature
Authors: Bamola V Deepak , Chaudhry Rama
Published: May 2020

Origin and spread of current novel coronavirus raised serious concerns among stakeholders around the globe. Different speculations which may unfold the mystery in the future are taking roots, but now there is no globally acceptable opinion about the origin and spread of this novel coronavirus. It is reported that Wuhan city of Hubei Province of central China was the epicenter of this outbreak of novel coronavirus. However, initial inadequate preventive measures allowed the infection to cross the borders of China and that pull the world into a drastic public health and economic crisis. This novel coronavirus disease now named as COVID-19 by World Health Organization (WHO) and the responsible coronavirus is named as ‘severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)’. The spread of SARS-CoV-2 is alarming even after five months of inception and WHO further warns the world to be prepared for more intense spread of COVID-19. Different diagnostic tools to detect SARS-CoV-2 are being used around the globe, but the identification of asymptomatic carriers of the disease is a serious challenge in countering the COVID-19 pandemic. There is no specific treatment available, only preventive, symptomatic and supportive treatments are being used for clinical management of COVID-19. The available knowledge is limited therefore any escalation of information on the disease will help to combat with this global challenge of COVID-19. In this review, we have discussed and summarized the available multi-factorial information and recent updates on the SARS-CoV-2 which can support future research and may help in the strategic management of currentCOVID-19 pandemic. The articles available online before 30 April 2020 on bioRxiv, medRxiv, ChemRxiv, Google scholar and PubMed have been assessed for compilation of this review. Information on the official portal of WHO, CDC, ICMR etc were also assessed and used with due credit.

The world of education, is inseparable with supervision which always refers to activities to improve the learning process. Educational supervision is an attempt to lead teachers and other officials in improving teaching, including stimulating, selecting job growth and teacher development and revising educational goals, teaching materials and teaching methods and evaluations. The main task of supervisors is to monitor and foster educators in carrying out teaching activities. In carrying out their duties the supervisor requires appropriate supervision techniques and is in accordance with the problem. Based on these thoughts, the focus of this section is to discuss group supervision techniques. The principal as a supervisor in an effort to improve school programs, can use various techniques or methods of educational supervision. Supervision can be done in various ways, with the aim that what is expected together can be achieved. Educational supervision techniques mean a way or way used by educational supervisors in providing services or assistance to teachers. Every implementation of an educational program requires supervision or supervision and the supervisor is responsible for the emergence of an effective and efficient program.
Three shades of green: Perspectives on at-work charging of electric vehicles using photovoltaic carports
Authors: Buresh Kevin , Apperley Mark , Booysen MJ
Published: May 2020

Electric vehicles (EVs) are widely heralded as the silver bullet for greening personal transport. However their eventual impact in South Africa, a developing country with a low-capacity carbon-heavy grid, is questionable. This paper examines the potential impact of electrification of the vehicle fleet in South Africa, and explores the concept that large employers could take advantage of the country’s abundant sunshine and provide photovoltaic (PV) solar carports for employees to charge their vehicles while at work. We assess the extent to which this would reduce the potential burden on the national grid, and also consider the economic perspectives of the vehicle owners and the employers. Our assessment employs a mobility model and a battery model for the vehicles, and solar simulation with measured data for the PV generation. We show that without the provision of additional solar generation, charging four million vehicles from the grid would exceed the grid’s capacity. Further, the carbon footprint of an electric vehicle charged from the grid would be greater than that of a petrol-fuelled vehicle, negating any potential benefits of electrification. However, we demonstrate that photovoltaic charging at work renders electric vehicles more carbon-friendly than petrol equivalents, and has substantial financial benefits for the vehicle owner, the employer, and the grid.

Evidence of high Sr/Ca in a Middle Jurassic murolith coccolith species
Authors: Suchéras-Marx Baptiste , Giraud Fabienne , Simionovici Alexandre , Tucoulou Rémi , Daniel Isabelle
Published: May 2020

Paleoceanographical reconstructions are often based on microfossil geochemical analyses. Coccoliths are the most ancient, abundant and continuous record of pelagic photic zone calcite producer organisms. Hence, they could be valuable substrates for geochemically based paleoenvironmental reconstructions but only Sr/Ca is exploited even if it remains poorly understood. For example, some murolith coccoliths species have very high Sr/Ca compared to the common 1-4 mmol/mol recorded in placolith coccoliths. In this study, we analyzed the elemental composition of the Middle Jurassic murolith Crepidolithus crassus by synchrotron-based nanoXRF (X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy) mapping focusing on Sr/Ca and compared the record to two placolith species, namely Watznaueria contracta and Discorhabdus striatus. In C. crassus, Sr/Ca is more than ten times higher than in both placoliths and seems higher in the proximal cycle. By comparison with the placoliths analyzed in the same analytical set-up and from the same sample, we exclude the impact of the diagenesis and seawater Sr/Ca to explain the high Sr/Ca in C. crassus. Based on comparisons to Pontosphaera discopora and Scyphosphaera apsteinii which also have high Sr/Ca, it seems more likely that high Sr/Ca in C. crassus is either due to the vertical elongation of the R-units of the proximal cycle or related to the action of the special polysaccharide controlling the growth of those vertically elongated R-units that may have affinities to Sr2+. In order to apply the Sr/Ca proxy to muroliths, further investigations are needed on cultured coccoliths.
Attitudes towards Multiculturalism in Luxembourg: Measurement Invariance and Factor Structure of the Multicultural Ideology Scale
Authors: Stogianni Maria , Murdock Elke , He Jia , van de Vijver A.J.R.
Published: May 2020

The present study examined the dimensionality and the measurement invariance of the Multicultural Ideology Scale (MCI; Berry & Kalin, 1995), and mean differences across different cultural groups within the multilingual, multicultural context of Luxembourg. Luxembourg is a unique context to study attitudes towards diversity because 47% of the citizens are non-nationals, and minority and majority are increasingly difficult to define. Our sample included 1,488 participants from diverse ethnic backgrounds who completed the survey in German, French or English. In contrast to previous findings, our analyses on responses to the MCI scale revealed a two-dimensional structure, distinguishing between positive and negative attitudes towards multiculturalism. The factor structure was partially invariant across ethnocultural groups: Configural and metric invariance were established across natives and non-natives and different language versions. Scalar invariance was only established across gender groups. Natives and male participants reported more negative attitudes towards multiculturalism. We discuss the importance of assessing measurement invariance and provide recommendations to improve the assessment of psychological multiculturalism.
Bayesian evaluation of replication studies
Authors: Leplaa Hidde Jelmer , Rietbergen Charlotte , Hoijtink Herbert
Published: May 2020

In this paper a method is proposed to determine whether the result from an original study is corroborated in a replication study. The paper is illustrated using data from the reproducibility project psychology by the Open Science Collaboration. This method emphasizes the need to determine what one wants to replicate: the hypotheses as formulated in the introduction of the original paper, or hypotheses derived from the research results presented in the original paper. The Bayes factor will be used to determine whether the hypotheses evaluated in/resulting from the original study are corroborated by the replication study. Our method to assess the successfulness of replication will better fit the needs and desires of researchers in fields that use replication studies.
Testosterone administration in women increases the size of their peripersonal space

Published: May 2020

Peripersonal space (PPS) is the space immediately surrounding the body, conceptualised as a sensory-motor interface between body and environment. PPS size differs between individuals and contexts, with intrapersonal traits and states, as well as social factors having a determining role on the size of PPS. Testosterone plays an important role in regulating social-motivational behaviour and is known to enhance dominance motivation in an implicit and unconscious manner. We investigated whether the dominance-enhancing effects of testosterone reflect as changes in the representation of PPS in a within-subjects testosterone administration study in women (N=19). Participants performed a visuo-tactile integration task in a mixed-reality setup. Results indicated that the administration of testosterone caused a significant enlargement of participants’ PPS, suggesting that testosterone caused participants to implicitly appropriate a larger space as their own. These findings suggest that the dominance-enhancing effects of testosterone reflect at the level of sensory-motor processing in PPS.
Advancing Multimedia Learning for STEM: Comparing the Effect of Virtual Versus Physical Embodied Learning Tools on Student Learning about Stereochemistry
Authors: Casselman Matthew D. , Eichler Jack F. , Atit Kinnari
Published: May 2020

Embodied learning tools (ELTs), such as building and manipulating models, bolster students’ learning of spatially demanding science content, such as stereochemistry.However, studies comparing the effectiveness of virtual to physical ELTs on student learning are limited. This study compares online instruction using a virtual ELT, virtual models, to a physical ELT, physical models, on organic chemistry students' stereochemistry understanding. Furthermore, it identifies which tool promotes the transfer and application of spatial science content to higher order concepts, such as reaction mechanisms. Lastly, the role of students' spatial skills is considered. To assess the magnitude of the effect of each tool, two control groups were included, a text‐based instruction and a no instruction group.Results revealed that the physical model group showed greater stereochemistry understanding compared to the no instruction group, while there was no difference between the virtual model and the no instruction groups. When asked to apply their knowledge to reasoning about reaction mechanisms, the physical model group outperformed the virtual model group and both control groups. Students' spatial skills did not influence their understanding of either concept in any learning condition. These results suggest that regardless of spatial skills, physical ELTs may provide the necessary scaffolding for students to learn spatially demanding science content, whereas virtual ELTs are no more effective than receiving no formal instruction. Furthermore, physical ELTs may be more effective than virtual ELTs in facilitating the application of that knowledge to more complex concepts. These findings have broad implications for online science pedagogy.
The Effects of Smartphones on Well-Being: Theoretical Integration and Research Agenda
Authors: Kushlev Kostadin , Leitao Matthew
Published: May 2020

As smartphones become ever more integrated in people’s lives, a burgeoning new area of research has emerged on their well-being effects. We propose that disparate strands of research and apparently contradictory findings can be integrated under three basic hypotheses, positing that smartphones influence well-being by (1) replacing other activities (displacement hypothesis), (2) interfering with concurrent activities (interference hypothesis), and (3) affording access to information and activities that would otherwise be unavailable (complementarity hypothesis). Using this framework, we highlight methodological issues and go beyond net effects to examine how and when phones boost versus hurt well-being. We examine both psychological and contextual mediators and moderators of the effects, thus outlining an agenda for future research.
Children can’t ignore what they hear: Incongruent emotional information leads to an auditory dominance in children
Authors: Ross Paddy , Atkins Beth , Allison Laura , Simpson Holly , Duffell Catherine , Williams Matthew , Ermolina Olga
Published: May 2020

Effective emotion recognition is imperative to successfully navigating social situations. Research suggests differing developmental trajectories for the recognition of bodily and vocal emotion, but emotions are usually studied in isolation and rarely considered as multimodal stimuli in the literature. When presented with basic multimodal sensory stimuli, the Colavita effect suggests that adults have a visual dominance, whereas more recent research finds that an auditory sensory dominance may be present in children under 8 years of age. However, it is not currently known whether this phenomenon holds for more complex multimodal social stimuli. Here we presented children and adults with multimodal social stimuli consisting of emotional bodies and voices, asking them to recognise the emotion in one modality while ignoring the other. We found that adults can perform this task with no detrimental effects to performance, regardless of whether the ignored emotion was congruent or not. However, children find it extremely challenging to recognise bodily emotion while trying to ignore incongruent vocal emotional information. In several instances they perform below chance level, indicating that the auditory modality actively informs their choice of bodily emotion. This is therefore the first evidence, to our knowledge, of an auditory dominance in children when presented with emotionally meaningful stimuli.

Published: May 2020

Background: Due to the global spread of COVID-19, oncology departments across the world rapidly adapted their cancer care protocols, balancing the risk of delaying cancer treatments and risk of COVID-19 exposure. COVID-19 and associated changes may have an impact on psycho-social functioning of cancer patients and survivors. We wanted to understand the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on young people living with and beyond cancer.Method: In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed 177 individuals, aged 18 - 39 years, about the impact of COVID-19 on their cancer care and psychological wellbeing. Participants also reported their information needs relating to COVID-19. Responses were summarized using content analysis approach. Results: This is the first study to examine psychological functioning of young patients and survivors during the first weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic. Close to a third of respondents reported increased levels of psychological distress, and as many as 60% reported feeling more anxious than they did prior to COVID-19. More than half also wanted more information tailored to them as young cancer patients. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly evolving and changing the landscape of cancer care. Young people living with cancer are a unique population and might be more vulnerable during this time compared to their healthy peers. There is a need to screen for psychological distress and attend to young people whose cancer care has been delayed. As the lockdown begins to ease, the guidelines about cancer care should be updated according to this population’s needs.

Home training recommendations for soccer players during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Azevedo Angelo Melim , Petiot Gregory Halle , Clemente Filipe Manuel , Nakamura Fábio Yuzo , Aquino Rodrigo
Published: May 2020

The new coronavirus (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered virus (SARS-CoV-2). This pandemic has a major impact on people's lives, and several governments ordered extended quarantine and requested social isolation to contain the spread of COVID-19 and flatten its contagion curve. Soccer practice was also severely affected by these pandemic effects, including the postponement of several championships, which involve large audiences. This process will be also dangerous for the players in the moment of returning to matches, mainly considering the abrupt spikes in the load that may occur in a very short term (from quarantine to competitive congested fixture periods). Here, we outline the benefits of home workouts using a multidimensional approach. First, we provide practical recommendations for physical, psychological, and tactical training. Next, we propose an example of a home training program spanning one weekly microcycle for soccer players, using load control based on the rating of perceived exertion. We highlighted that is crucial to make all these exercises fun and entertaining during the self-isolation period. In addition, coaches can adopt a video meeting with the players with the purpose to maintain the relationships and clear possible doubts about the workouts. The home training recommendations discussed and proposed in this article can and should be adjusted by the coaches according to their own ideas and athletes' access to equipment (e.g., treadmills, flywheel training, virtual reality). Finally, these recommendations do not apply to athletes showing any symptoms of COVID-19; in such case, self-isolation and complete rest are mandatory.

Published: May 2020

This study aims to determine the performance of  ducks on the effect of differences in cage temperature. This study used 54 5-week-old male ducks selected from 66 ducks. The research method used was randomized block design (RBD). The treatment used is the regulation of the temperature of the cage which is divided into three temperature levels, namely: A (cold temperature), B (room temperature), and C (hot temperature). The observed variables were duck performance in the form of feed consumption, body weight gain and feed conversion. The results of this study indicate that the difference in temperature of the cage became a very significant (P<0.01) on the consumption of rations, weight gain and conversion. The results of the study concluded that the maintenance of ducks at three different cage temperatures had a very significant (P<0.01) on feed consumption and body weight gain, but had no effect on feed conversion. The best results were found in the temperature of the cold cage with the consumption of rations of 2964.33 g/head, which resulted in body weight of 711.83 g/head of g/head, and conversion of 4.2. While the body weight of 1437 percentage of carcass was 67.64% in the study. The highest yield IOFC results (income over feed cost) cage in cold temperatures with a profit of Rp. 3,375.15/head. The maintenance of  ducks at three different cage temperatures had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the weight of the spleen, thyroid and kidney and the work of the spleen, thyroid and kidney organs was still normal

There is a paramount importance of the Readymade Garments (RMG) industry of Bangladesh as it is the highest contributor in earning foreign exchange for the country. But the industry is facing stiff competition from other RMG producing countries including China, India, and Sri Lanka of the world. Hence, competitiveness especially at the manufacturing level became important for this industry. An efficient Supply Chain Management can increase the competitiveness and the satisfaction of the customers. Nowadays, SCM plays an integral part of a firm’s success as it allows firms to quickly deliver products to the end-user for a low cost. Hence, RMG companies have very limited options other than implementing SCM as a strategy in order to remain competitive. This study intends to identify the impediments in applying sound SCM in the RMG industry. A mixed research method with a questionnaire survey has been employed for determining the impediments objectively. Use of descriptive analysis and Kendall Coefficient of Concordance have been made for ranking the challenges. This study found workplace safety, unavailability of raw materials and political instability are the major impediments for SCM applications in the RMG industry of Bangladesh.

Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on 150 children of NCC up to 18 years of age in a tertiary care hospital. The diagnosis was based on clinical and laboratory/ radiological evaluation of the patients. Socio-clinical, radiological and serological data of the patients were analysed.

Results: A total of 150 children were enrolled in this study. The commonest age group of the cases in this study was six to 10 years. Male to female ratio was 1.8:1. The largest percentage of cases belonged to upper lower class (56%) and lowest was 4% in upper class. Sixty percent subjects were non vegetarian. Seizures were the most common presentation (96%). Headache was present in 44% cases. Single lesion was commonest type of lesion on radiological examination with frontal cortex as most commonly involved area of brain. Stage II NCC was commonest type of lesion on MRI. EEG was abnormal in 38% cases. Serum ELISA for cysticercosis was positive in 10% cases. Number of lesions was not associated with age group, type of seizure or any particular area of brain.

Conclusion: Stage II NCC the commonest type of NCC. Single lesion NCC was more common than multiple lesions. All cases with atypical presentation and positive ELISA had multiple lesions. Frontal portion of cortex was most commonly involved.

Introduction: Perinatal asphyxia has multisystem involvement, kidneys are most frequently affected. This study was conducted to determine the relation between severity of Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) with acute kidney injury in term neonates.

Methods: Retrospective study was done over a period of six months (Sept 2016 to Feb 2017) at Department of Neonatology of a tertiary level maternity hospital. Total 98 cases of Perinatal asphyxia cases which were diagnosed with certain degree of HIE were evaluated for its relation with renal involvement in different stage of HIE.

Results: Out of 98 cases of perinatal asphyxia, HIE I was 21%, HIE II was 69% and HIE III was 10%, among which 72% cases had some degree of renal problem. seventy two cases had renal problem, oliguric cases were 41 (57%) among which 33% case had persistent symptoms and associated renal function deterioration. Among 42 cases of deranged RFTs, 40% of cases has persistently deranged RFTs. In comparison to HIE II in HIE III, 22% of cases had one time derangement of RFTs and 33% cases had at least one observation of oliguria, while remaining 45% cases had persistent deterioration of RFTs and urine output, suggesting that progression in HIE stage has significant association with renal dysfunction (p < 0.05). More than half of the cases of HIE III had mortality while 20.3% of HIE II cases had mortality, indicating that the mortality is highly significant with higher HIE grade (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: Renal involvement is very common in cases of perinatal asphyxia, and severity of renal involvement increases as the HIE grading increases.
