Increasing the Impact of Professional Development in Writing
Authors: Hardin Brooke , Koppenhaver David A.
Published: October 2023

This chapter provides a model for professional development (PD) for writing instruction merging content focus, active learning opportunities, sustained participation, and collective engagement with a practicum model comprised of social constructivist practices of learning communities and coaching in order to maximally strengthen teachers' capacity for providing effective writing instruction. The PD model relies on four central, interrelated concepts: modeling, use of mentor texts, scaffolding, and coaching. An examination of the factors enhancing and inhibiting teachers' appropriation of methods learned in a 16-week long graduate course focused on informational writing provides specific components in the form of eight theoretical assertions of effective writing instruction PD. These serve as ideas and recommendations that can be replicated by PD designers, school leaders, instructional coaches, and instructors in teacher education settings.

Authors: Lewis Jr. Henderson , Lee Carlos G. , Dowell Margaret-Mary Sulentic
Published: October 2023

After the take-over of the Orleans parish-wide school system following the devastation created by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the re-creation of the Orleans Parish Schools created the first all-charter, decentralized school system in the United States. Currently, the Orleans Parish Schools are settled and posed to face the challenges of any other urban emergent school district. Authors employed a single case study approach and activity theory as a framework to investigate three research questions: (1) What are the perceptions of principals and individuals that lead charter management organizations (CMOs) in an all charter district regarding writing pedagogy? (2) How do principals/chiefs support instructional coaches regarding writing pedagogy? (3) How do principals/chiefs support classroom teachers regarding writing pedagogy? Results revealed that principals and school chiefs relied on commercial curriculum as sufficient in terms of increasing capacity to teach writing and for PK-12 students to experience authentic writing pedagogy.

A Review of Governance Frameworks for National Spatial Data Infrastructure
Authors: Ahmad Munir , Ali Asmat
Published: October 2023

This chapter examined the governance framework of National Spatial Data Infrastructures in five South Asian countries: Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. It analyzed six key components—participation and consensus orientation, responsiveness and transparency, equity and accountability, effectiveness and efficiency, rule of law, and strategic vision—underpinning NSDI programs. The diverse strategies and structures employed by these countries are explored. Bangladesh's collaborative NSDI Steering and Technical Committees promote geospatial data sharing. India's two-tier structure involves the National Spatial Data Committee and the NSDI Executive Committee for policy setting and implementation. Nepal's lack of a designated NSDI agency hampers coordination. Pakistan's NSDI is in the feasibility study phase, while Sri Lanka emphasizes its NSDI within its Digital Policy. Overall, it was observed that some characteristics of good governance are evident across the majority of the countries examined in this chapter; however, the level of maturity remains relatively weak.

Published: October 2023

Chronic infection with the gammaherpesvirus EBV is a risk factor for several autoimmune diseases, and poor control of EBV viral load and enhanced anti-EBV responses elevate this risk further. However, the role of host genetic variation in the regulation of immune responses to chronic gammaherpesvirus infection and control of viral replication remains unclear. To address this question, we infected C57BL/6J (B6) and genetically divergent wild-derived inbred PWD/PhJ (PWD) mice with murine gammaherpesvirus-68 (MHV-68), a gammaherpesvirus similar to EBV, and determined the effect of latent gammaherpesvirus infection on the CD4 T cell transcriptome. Chronic MHV-68 infection of B6 mice resulted in a dramatic upregulation of genes characteristic of a cytotoxic Th cell phenotype, including Gzmb, Cx3cr1, Klrg1, and Nkg7, a response that was highly muted in PWD mice. Flow cytometric analyses revealed an expansion of CX3CR1+KLRG1+ cytotoxic Th cell–like cells in B6 but not PWD mice. Analysis of MHV-68 replication demonstrated that in spite of muted adaptive responses, PWD mice had superior control of viral load in lymphoid tissue, despite an absence of a defect in MHV-68 in vitro replication in PWD macrophages. Depletion of NK cells in PWD mice, but not B6 mice, resulted in elevated viral load, suggesting genotype-dependent NK cell involvement in MHV-68 control. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that host genetic variation can regulate control of gammaherpesvirus replication through disparate immunological mechanisms, resulting in divergent long-term immunological sequelae during chronic infection.
Restrained glycoprotein VI-induced platelet signaling by tyrosine protein phosphatases independent of phospholipase Cγ2
Authors: Huang Jingnan , Fernández Delia I. , Zou Jinmi , Wang Xueqing , Heemskerk Johan W.M. , García Ángel
Published: October 2023

The platelet collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) signals to activation of phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCγ2) and phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K), causing platelet activation and aggregation. The non-receptor Src homology tyrosine phosphatases Shp1/2 modulate GPVI signaling in partly opposite ways, both of which are targeted by the potential drug NSC87877. Effect measurements of the Shp1/2 inhibitor NSC87877 on platelet activation via GPVI using light transmission aggregometry, Ca2+ flux assay, western blotting and flow cytometry. Effect measurements of selective PI3K inhibitor TGX221. Inhibition of Shp1/2 with NSC87877 enhanced platelet aggregation induced by the GPVI agonist, collagen-related peptide (CRP). Furthermore, NSC87877 antagonized the effects of PI3Kb inhibition, but not of Btk inhibition. Both NSC87877 and TGX221 suppressed the CRP-induced phosphorylation of PLCγ2 at activation site Tyr759. These findings indicate that drug interference of the two phosphatases Shp1/2 subtly enhances GPVI-induced platelet responses via a mechanism not involving PLCγ2 activation, even upon PI3K inhibition.

Published: October 2023

Our purpose was to translate and validate the Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) in Greek. POEM translation was carried out with parallel back-translation procedure. To examine reliability and validity, 59 AD adult patients were recruited. A questionnaire including demographics, POEM, and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) was completed through physicians’ interview with patients. A second POEM completion took place 3-7 days after the initial visit. POEM items showed good internal consistency among study participants [Cronbach’s alpha = 0.88] and no overall floor and ceiling effects were detected. The POEM and DLQI scores were significantly correlated (Spearman rho = 0.71; p<0.001). The average ICC (95% CI) of POEM score between interviews was 0.89 (0.80, 0.94) indicating good to excellent test-retest reliability. As the use of patient reported outcome measures in Greece is increasing, it is important to have access in Greek translated - validated tools that are commonly used in literature.

Published: October 2023

An infrared-assisted heat pump drying (IR-HPD) was designed and used for drying of mushroom slices at three different infrared (IR) powers (50, 100, and 150 W) and a fixed drying temperature of 40°C and air velocity of 1 m/s. The changes in total phenolic content (TPC), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and individual phenolic contents bioaccessibility, drying characteristics, and colour values of mushroom slices were investigated. IR-HPD provided 13.11 to 30.77% higher energy savings than HPD and reduced drying time between 9.48 and 26.72%. Page, Modified Page models were considered the best for predicting the thin layer drying behaviour of mushroom slices. The effective moisture diffusivity (Deff) value increased with IR power and ranged between 6.491x10-10 and 9.023x10-10 m2s-1. The contents of TPC, TAC, and individual phenolics in mushroom slices were significantly reduced (p<0.05) after drying. In vitro the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds and TAC generally decreased, whereas TPC bioaccessibility was increased. Colour values were decreased except for a* value that increased after drying. Thermal imaging results showed that IR lamps increase the temperature of the products in the middle close to the lamp by approximately 1.5°C. In addition, thermal imaging gave a better understanding and visualised the effect of different power IR lamps on the temperature distribution of the products according to their distance from the lamp. As a result, drying mushrooms with a hybrid drying system combined with IR and heat pump dryer provided higher energy savings than HPD, reduced drying time, and maintained the physical and nutritional characteristics of mushrooms. Overall, the use of IR-HPD is an alternative tool that allows us to obtain high-quality dried mushrooms with good nutritional attributes and a high amount of bioaccessible polyphenols.

This article is intended to find out the problems in the implementation of public services carried out by the central government and local governments are still faced with services that are not yet effective and efficient and the quality of human resources is not adequate. Therefore, various innovations are needed to improve the quality of public services by the government in order to make it easier for the public to access information. One of the innovations that can be applied is the creation and use of websites in the public service system. The application of the use of the website for public services is able to improve the performance of the government, state civil apparatus and the community in using information and communication technology by using it wisely. The method used emphasizes the full participation of ASN and Non ASN members in the training process, not just the method lecture. The approach applied to this service is the Participatory Rural Appraisal method (Chambers, 1996), where this technique is a technique that is considered technically quite operational. The results obtained in these problems need to be resolved immediately through training on the Implementation of Socialization on the importance of e-Government by providing assistance in the creation and management of websites. This training is unlikely to run well on its own. Therefore, participation from the state civil apparatus and the entire community is very much needed so that this activity can run smoothly and can provide positive changes for the future, including providing an understanding of the importance of E-Government for ASN and Non ASN in the Bankes bangpol environment, providing assistance regarding website creation and management.

Published: October 2023

This study aims to examine the factors affecting students' pronunciation in English as a Second Language (ESL) among senior high school students and their English teachers. A mixed-method approach was employed, which involved a survey questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with 10 senior high school students and 10 English teachers from PAU Excellencia Global Academy Foundation, Inc. in the Philippines. The results showed that attitude, exposure, mother tongue, and instruction are factors that affect students' pronunciation in ESL. The participants agreed that attitude towards learning English greatly impacts pronunciation improvement, and that exposure to English through media and social interactions is beneficial. However, the influence of the mother tongue on pronunciation was found to be significant, particularly in the Philippines where English is taught as a second language. Furthermore, the instruction provided by teachers was found to be a crucial factor affecting students' pronunciation, with the need for teachers to utilize more effective teaching techniques and strategies. This study contributes to the literature on ESL pronunciation by examining the unique perspectives of both students and teachers in the Philippines, which can provide insights into the development of more effective ESL teaching and learning approaches. The findings can also aid in the development of curriculum design and teacher training programs to improve ESL pronunciation instruction.

Published: October 2023

Meaning is one of the most controversial terms in linguistic theory. It is noteworthy to mention that the understanding of this term does not cause any difficulties as it is freely used in teaching, oral and written translation. However, the scientific definition of meaning has become the subject of endless debate, along with the definitions of some other basic linguistic notions such as word, sentence, phrase, etc. Since there is no generally accepted definition of meaning, we have to limit ourselves to a small study of the problem as it is considered in modern linguistics [Barkhudarov, 1975, p. 50-70]. As for the meaning of the word, there have been attempts to define it by linguists in all periods when linguistics existed as a science. The work on the scientific understanding of the meaning of the word is carried out with the aim of a detailed description of the semantics of the words. In the theory of linguistics, there are different definitions of the meaning of a word, which is due to the existence of different approaches to understanding the meaning. Although there are various theories about the meaning of words, most of them are not suitable to describe the meaning of prepositions.

This study deals with normative law with analytical and conceptual approach,statute approach, and policy-oriented approach.The legal material in this study was obtained from primary and secondary source.The technique for collecting legal material is a combination of snowball andsystematic method while the study was analyzed by means of descriptiveevaluative, interpretative, comparative, and argumentative analysis.The findings show that there are no provisions of Banking Law that expressly statecorporation as legal subject. Although Article 46 Law No. 7, 1772 replaced by LawNo. 10, 1998 expilicitly states that a corporate as legal subject but there are noprovisions stating that a corporate can be made responsible criminally.Legal protection fror the victim in criminal law only gives abstract protection(indirect protection). Althogh in the legislation of criminal law as in the provisionof Article 14 c of the Criminal Code, Law No. 7, 1955 and also law No. 8, 1981contain provision of victim protection, but this provision is facultative in nature.While the legal protection of a victim in Law No. 8 is Hard to put into practice. Thelegal protection of a victim in the banking area as a corporate has a number ofabstacles. These obstacles indeed have some influence in upholding Law No. 7,1992 which has beeb changed into Law No. 10, 1998 about banking so that theimplications that emerges and legas protections of criminal victim in the bankingarea are still weak.

COOPERATIVE LEARNING IN FLIPPED CLASSROOM ON INDONESIAN EFL STUDENTS' READING PROFICIENCY: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
Authors: Aksendro Maximilian  , Ajeng Galuh Dwi
Published: October 2023

Addressing the post-pandemic challenges in EFL classroom, teacher should empower their knowledge by exploring the potential methods to be applied in the classroom (Bawawa et al., 2021). Combining cooperative learning and flipped classroom can be a way for answering the challenges in post pandemic period. Some researchers have positively suggested about the integration of cooperative learning method in flipped classroom (Erbil, 2020; Linling & Abdullah, 2023). However, the studies about the combination of these methods are still limited (Aslan, 2022; Foldnes, 2016). Therefore, this research attempts to examine cooperative learning implication in flipped classroom effects for EFL students’ reading achievement during post-pandemic period. This study employs the quasi-experimental research. The experimental group is taught using the integration of cooperative learning into flipped classroom model, whereas, control group is taught using conventional instruction. The findings reveal that the students who learn in experimental group have better reading performance than those who learn in control group. The finding also presents that the integration of cooperative learning and flipped classroom have statistically significant effects towards reading proficiency. Thus, this study proposes an adaptive instructional model to enhance students’ English language communication and skills.

Authors: Shafique Iqra , Shafique Hira , Asif Nimra , Liaquat Sadia , Shahbaz Husnain
Published: October 2023

Purpose: Dysentery is a severe form of diarrhea and caused by four bacteria include Shigella, Campylobacter, E.coli and Salmonella. They are responsible for higher morbidity and mortality rates resulting from dysentery every year across the world. Antibiotic therapy of this disease plays a critical role in decreasing the prevalence as well as the fatality rate of this infection. However, the management of this disease remains challenging, owing to the overall increase in resistance against many antimicrobials. Hence, it has become important to identify as well as develop therapeutic methods presenting novel avenues for infections. In the current study, proteome based mapping was utilized to find the potential drug targets for dysentery. There is need to identify novel drug and vaccine targets to control this disease. This study is designed to identify new drug targets to develop drug and vaccines to battle bacillary dysentery. Subtractive genomics approach was used in this study to find novel drug targets.

Methodology: The proteomes of Shigella, E. coli, Campylobacter and Salmonella were retrieved from Uniprot. Paralogs in these proteomes were removed by CD-HIT. Gene essentiality was screened by Geptop server 2.0. Host-pathogen interaction was analyzed through HPIDB database. To identify non-homologous proteins, the essential proteins were analyzed in Blastp against Homo sapiens (H. sapiens). The unique metabolic pathways were recognized by comparison of metabolic pathways of selected strains of bacteria and H. sapiens using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway. Subcellular localization and functional classification of proteins involved in unique metabolic pathways were analyzed through PSORTb and SVMProt. Druggability potential of unique essential proteins was investigated using the DrugBank database.

Findings: Over all analysis showed 7 proteins that were common in all four bacteria. These proteins were essential to pathogens. Out of 7 proteins 6 proteins MURA, MURG, DAPA, MURB, DAPE, DnaA are reported as a drug target in different bacteria and one protein DAPD is novel.  The study will enable the development of natural and cost-effective drugs against dysentery infections.

Recommendation: However, further validations are necessary to confirm their drug effectiveness and biocompatibility.

Published: October 2023

Despite the importance for enhancing teaching and learning materials in public schools, its vital role has been limited by number of constraints. This study explores factors constraints the purchases of teaching and learning materials. Specifically, it ascertained the availability, constraints and consequences of teaching and learning materials in public primary schools in Dar es Salaam-Ilala, Tanzania. A qualitative case study design was adopted and data were collected using in-depth interviews, open-ended questionnaire, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and documentary review based on the judgmental sample size of 56 respondents. Thematic data analysis strategy was adopted and data were analyzed using MAXQDA 20 software after being obtained through the use of content analysis. Findings showed that printing such as computers, textbooks and printing papers as well as non-printing materials such as library, mathematics kits and chalkboard are the main materials used in primary schools. Also, the study identified constraints for their availability which include lack of fund, lack of budget allocation, poor procurement planning, inadequate government support, high cost learning materials, and poor equity of materials distribution and supply. Then, the consequences of the constraints led to poor students’ performance, lack of confidence among the teachers and students, lack of motivation among the teachers and students, poor schools’ attendance, reduced competence, poor coverage of curricula or topic, difficult in classroom management as well as increases teaching loads to the teachers. We recommend that, in order to improve purchases of teaching and learning materials, the government update its procurement planning, reviewing the policy and distribution strategies of educational materials, allocation of sufficient budget, investment and raise awareness on the progress of educational facilities by installing current technology instruments as well as development of infrastructures in public primary schools. Therefore, quality of education will be improved after adhering to the stated recommendations.

Published: October 2023

It is vital to assess workplace pushing and pulling (PP) activities to manage musculoskeletal injuries among employees. However, there is still no clearly-suited risk assessment method. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of risk assessment methods for PP activities at the workplace. Thus, the review employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Two primary journal databases were searched, namely Scopus and Science Direct. Furthermore, to ensure the robustness of the study, the searches were expended via handpicking, snowball identification, and consultation with ergonomics experts. Atlas.ti version 8 software was used to analyse the identified articles thematically. The search resulted in nine articles eligible for the systematic analysis. From the articles, six assessment methods used force measurement as the main indicators, while three assessment methods used the weight of the load as measurement indicators. The assessment tools did not cover all the risk factors for PP activities. Besides, there was a lack of evidence showing the assessment tools or methods' reliability, validity, and usability. This systematic review highlighted the advantages and limitations of existing assessment methods, and no one method fits all. The findings showed that the assessment methods for PP activities still needed a force measurement and did not cover all the significant risk factors associated with PP. In addition, no clarifications were presented regarding the assessment methods’ reliability, validity, and applicability.
An Extreme Learning Machine Approach for Forecasting the Wholesale Price Index of Food Products in India

Precise food price forecasting is crucial for any country, and searching for appropriate approach(s) from an assortment of available strategies toward this objective is an open problem. The current Indian Wholesale Price Index (WPI) series contains sixty individual food items in the 'manufacture of food product' category. This work considered the monthly data from April 2011 to June 2022, i.e., one hundred thirty-five months' data of these sixty WPIs. The researchers extracted the linearity, curvature, and autocorrelation features for each WPI. The curvature and linearity-based grouping of these WPIs revealed that the WPIs are heterogeneous. This work proposed an extreme learning machine (ELM) approach for forecasting these WPIs. The present work employed the following twenty-two time-series forecasting techniques: six standard methods (Auto ARIMA, TSLM, SES, DES, TES, and Auto ETS), five neural networks (Auto FFNN, Auto GRNN, Auto MLP, Auto ELM, and proposed ELM), and eleven state-of-art techniques (two ARIMA-ETS based ensembles, an ARIMA-THETAF-TBATS based ensemble, one MLP, and seven LSTM-based models) to identify the best forecasting approach for these WPIs. For the majority of WPIs, the offered ELM attained suitable performance in the case of fifteen months of out-of-sample forecasting. Nearly eighty-seven percent of cases achieved high accuracy (MAPE ≤ ten) and outshined others. Upon accuracy comparison, both forecast-MAPE and forecast-RMSE, between the proposed ELM and others, this paper observed that the proposed ELM's performance is more favorable. This paper's findings imply that the proposed ELM is a promising prospect to offer accurate forecasts of these sixty WPIs.

En Colombia no hay datos acerca de la percepción de la calidad de vida (CdV) en enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII). Se plantea como objetivo determinar la percepción de la CdV mediante el cuestionario IBDQ-32 en pacientes con EII a partir de una muestra de pacientes de diferentes centros de referencia. Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal en adultos, con EII en remisión clínica, en seguimiento ambulatorio, en 3 instituciones en diferentes ciudades, entre junio 2022 a noviembre 2022, se identificaron sujetos elegibles, se recolectó información en fechas distintas, acerca aspectos sociodemográficos y clínicos, se evaluó el cuestionario IBDQ-32 en una ocasión y se realizó análisis descriptivo y analítico de las variables evaluadas. Como resultado, se obtuvieron 80 pacientes, 70% mujeres, edad media 38,5 (rango18-72; SD 13,25) años. 67,5% colitis ulcerosa (CU), 32,5% enfermedad de Crohn (EC). Se encontró compromiso moderado de la CdV (mediana 150 puntos, rango-intercuartílico 118,3-181,5) en EII, en CU mediana 151 (rango-intercuartílico 120-174,75) puntos, mientras en EC 133(rango-intercuartílico 106,25-186,25) puntos. Hubo mayor afección en dominio sistémico, con medianas 21 (rango-intercuartílico 15,8-27) puntos, y 18,5 (rango-intercuartílico 12,8-25,3) puntos, para CU y EC, respectivamente. Y, los menos afectados correspondieron al dominio digestivo y función social, en CU medianas 48,5 (rango-intercuartílico 40-58,3), y 27 (rango-intercuartílico 20,8-33); en EC medianas 43 (rango-intercuartílico 35,5-61,75) y 24,5 (rango-intercuartílico 18-32,5), respectivamente. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Este estudio aporta información única acerca C bia. Se requiere seguir reforzando el acompañamiento, apoyo, y educación a los pacientes con EII.

Published: October 2023

La enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) es un espectro de enfermedades crónicas inmunomediadas que afectan tanto el tracto gastrointestinal, como otros sistemas extraintestinales, comportándose como una enfermedad sistémica. Los fenómenos tromboembólicos son una complicación frecuente en la EII, como consecuencia de los estados de hipercoagulabilidad que se asocian con la actividad de la enfermedad, y su aparición tiene un impacto negativo tanto en el pronóstico como en la sobrevida de los pacientes. Debido a ello, el control de la actividad inflamatoria de la EII es uno de los pilares en el control de los eventos tromboembólicos. Los medicamentos biológicos se asocian al control rápido del cuadro inflamatorio, sin embargo, siempre se discute el tema de seguridad para la reactivación de infecciones latentes, en particular tuberculosis. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 37 años que debutó con trombosis venosa profunda en el miembro inferior izquierdo y posteriormente con tromboembolismo pulmonar masivo. Luego de investigar la etiología y ampliar la historia clínica se le diagnosticó Enfermedad de Crohn (EC). Al realizar los estudios previos al uso de biológicos, las pruebas de PPD y quantiferon resultaron positivas, luego de la discusión del caso se decidió iniciar tratamiento con ustekinumab.

Esta pesquisa buscou elaborar produtos alimentícios a partir da polpa do açaí (Euterpe oleracea). A metodologia para a elaboração dos produtos partiu de adaptações de formulações disponíveis na literatura especializada para: geleia; sorvete; néctar (blend), em suas versões light e diet. Elaborou-se, também, um mix de farinha para mistura de bolo com diferentes teores de açaí liofilizado (5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% e 50%). Ademais, as serviram como base para a elaboração da rotulagem nutricional dos produtos à base de açaí. Os resultados obtidos, após testes sensoriais, mostram que as formulações foram bem aceitas conforme o sabor, a cor, aroma e textura, sobretudo por manterem as características da matéria-prima após a cocção. Além disso, as tabelas nutricionais elaboradas demonstraram a composição química com valores de macro e micronutrientes, uma qualidade nutricional relevante dos produtos obtidos, sendo um alimento light e diet, pois atendeu os requisitos estabelecidos pelas legislações citadas anteriormente. Pode-se concluir que o açaí, para além do consumo in natura, é um alimento que possui diversos benefícios para a saúde, o qual pode ser utilizado no desenvolvimento de produtos alimentícios, fortalecendo a inovação de produtos e os enriquecendo com uma diversidade de nutrientes.
