Marquis de Villena – founder and first director of the Real Academia Española
Authors: Durbas Małgorzata
Published: June 2022

Don Juan Manuel Fernández Pacheco, Marquis of Villena, came from one of the most distinguished families in Spain. His greatest life contribution, having a far-reaching impact on the consolidation of the cultural and social identity of Spain, was the initiative to establish the Real Academia Española (Royal Spanish Academy). He was aware that the language used by scholars and writers living on the Iberian Peninsula was not uniform, and that the invasion of French expressions was progressing. In 1711, he created a group of people willing to cooperate in the cultivation and preservation of "the words and phrases of the Castilian language". Each of the eight participants of the meetings had experience in the field of humanities. It should be noted that this group was the founding core of the later Real Academia Española, officially approved on October 3, 1714. Marquis of Villena has led the Academy in his twelve years as director with meticulous attention to almost all of its meetings. The research goal set at the beginning, which was the development of the Dictionary of the Castilian language (Diccionario de la lengua castellana), was carried out in the years 1726–1739. Unfortunately, the Marquis died without the completion and publication of the first volume of the work, which was being prepared for printing at the time of his death. This memorable work is known today as the Dictionary of Authorities (Diccionario de autoridades).
Soviet espionage and anti-state activity in Corps District Command V Krakow in the interwar period. Selected examples
Authors: Latkowska Iwona
Published: June 2022

The article attempts to present and analyze examples of espionage and anti-state activities, inspired by the services of the USSR and illegal communist environments. The area of their activity was limited to the territory of the District Command No. V Kraków, i.e. the provinces of Kraków, Silesia and parts of Kielce one, which also were under the supervision of the Independent Information Office, that was part of its structure. It was its duties that included regular inspections in garrisons or military units, observations of people suspected of espionage and, finally, liquidation of scandals with help of its own agent apparatus, police or gendarmerie. The article focuses on the efforts of Polish secret services and the security authorities cooperating with them in combating secret Soviet crime against the Republic of Poland.
Improvement of Strength Characteristics of a Highly Plastic Expansive Soil with Fly Ash
Authors: KODAZ Gaye , DEMİRCİ Hasan Emre , PULAT Hasan Fırat
Published: June 2022

Highly plastic expansive clays swell or shrink due to change in moisture content and they often have very low bearing capacity. Construction of engineering structures particularly pavements and lightweight buildings on problematic soils such as highly plastic expansive clays may create severe structural problems due to poor engineering properties of that kind of soil. This study focused on the influence of fly ash on strength properties of highly expansive clays which are problematic soils due to their undesirable engineering characteristics such as high plasticity index, liquid limit, swelling and shrinkage characteristics, and low bearing capacity. Atterberg’s limit tests and hydrometer tests were conducted to obtain consistency limits and grain-size distribution of the highly plastic expansive clay. Standard proctor tests for clay samples with different fly ash contents such as 10%, 15%, and 20% were performed to determine maximum dry densities and optimum water contents of the mixtures of clay and fly ash. The clay and fly ash mixtures were prepared at optimum water content and maximum dry density for unconfined compression strength (UCS) and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests. Effects of fly0ash content on the strength characteristics of a highly plastic expansive clay were investigated through unconfined compression and CBR tests. The experiment results showed that fly0ash is a promising additive to enhance strength characteristics of highly plastic expansive clays. An approximately 66% increase in UCS and CBR values was observed with the addition of 20% fly ash into the clay mixture in weight.
A Configurable Interface for Analog Sensor Outputs
Authors: DEMİRER Baran , BAŞKAYA Faik
Published: June 2022

Reading out analog sensor outputs can be a challenging task at low frequencies because of the low frequency noise. To obtain a sensor signal clearly, special interface circuits are required. By using such circuits, analog signals are cleaned from offset, drift and 1/f noise. Besides, if the interface circuitry is configurable, it can be possible to interface to inputs at different frequency ranges. At the interface block, analog sensor output signal is moved to a frequency band where low frequency noise effects are not dominant by using chopping modulation technique. The frequency-shifted signal is then filtered using various filter types. To remove the low frequency noise before moving the signal back to the original band, Gm-C filter is used. The entire topology can be configured by a 5-bit digital to analog converter (DAC) called Biasing DAC (BDAC). This allows us to digitally change the biasing current of operational transconductance amplifiers (OTA), so that OTA based amplifiers and filters can operate at different frequency ranges. As conclusion, a configurable analog sensor interface has been designed. The design and layouts have been realized and simulated in Cadence Virtuoso using UMC 130nm CMOS technology.
Creative writing and ethnography: Four explorations
Authors: Karjula Emilia
Published: June 2022

Ethnographies are more than texts, but ethnography and writing have a special relationship. Jotted down observations, field notes, diaries, and interview transcripts all contribute to the making of ethnographic knowledge (see eg. Schindler and Schäfer 2021). As ethnography also has a rich history of ex- perimenting with different genres when presenting research results (see eg. Clifford & Marcus 1986; Visweswaran 1994; Behar & Gordon 1995; Geertz 1998; Zenker & Kumoll 2010), the point of this thematic issue of Scriptum was to ex- plore connections between creative writing and ethnography. As guest editor, and a creative writing researcher trained as an ethnographically oriented folklorist, I was expecting the call for papers to lure in texts on field notes or fieldwork dia- ries, autoethnographical studies of writing processes, a lot of reflexivity, and some experiments into the deep end (or, hope- fully even something baroque, see Marcus 2007).
The voice lessons
Authors: Jenssen Runa Hestad
Published: June 2022

In this text I invite you to join me in a series of voice lessons, where I shares stories from my embodied experiences as a soprano, teacher, and researcher in the Western sociocultural context of singing. If you are expecting a traditional voice lesson, of ‘How to sing, 1, 2, 3’ you might be disappointed. But, if you are interested in how voicing (auto)ethnographies might be one way of producing, analyzing, and representing voice, I will happily dive into the voice lessons with you. For me, writing stories has become a way of knowing as a researcher, as through my writing I was able to discover new perspectives of voice – ultimately allowing me space to rethink notions of voice. Through the voice lessons I show how I zigzag through the worlds of the material voice and theoretical-philosophical-‘academic’ voice, guided by new materialism and performative autoethnography. My voice lessons can be seen as a performative utterance, which rests on the belief in the embodiment and the materiality of the writing body, an open-ended way of (re)thinking voice. Voice lessons for singing voices and academic voices.
Rock Star Dreams Co-created (auto)ethnographies
Authors: Silow Kallenberg Kim
Published: June 2022

The article is a two-part piece where the first part is a narratively written composition of interview excerpts, and the second part is a theoretical and methodological reflection about this way of writing. The narrative of the first part consists of extracts from in-depth interviews conducted within the framework of an ethnological and autoethnographical re- search project examining grief, friendship and kinship in the wake of the deaths of two of the authors childhood friends – Marcus and Noel. The potential of the ethnographic material is explored as text by compiling it in an entirely new manner, where multiple voices are condensed into a single narrative. The point of departure is sociologist Carolyn Ellis’ ideas on co-constructed narratives and autoethnographic texts as jointly authored. The writing method is also inspired by author Svetlana Alexievich and her way of facilitating a focus on specific details of human experience from a larger empirical material. The intention is that the whole should appear to be greater than the sum of its parts. The common narrative is something new, something singular, something greater than could be conveyed by any one of the interviews, or interviewees, alone. The result is a narrative of death, grief, friendship, parenthood and kinship. About how masculinity can be intersected by the lines of class, place, mental illness and substance abuse. In the text, those who grieve for Marcus and Noel are not alone – in the text they stand together as part of a heterogeneous collective with many voices.

Часы Эйнштейна, карты Пуанкаре: империи времени
Authors: Галисон Питер
Published: June 2022

Книга современного американского философа и историка науки Питера Галисона знакомит читателя с тем, как на рубеже XIX–XX вв. вырабатывалась процедура координации часов, ставшая затем одной из опор релятивистской физики. В центре внимания автора оказываются не только теоретические рассуждения знаменитых физиков — прежде всего Эйнштейна и Пуанкаре, — но также чрезвычайно запутанный клубок разнородных интересов и практик, принадлежащих навигаторам, астрономам, железнодорожникам, военным, бизнесменам и картографам тех времен, которые позволили в чем-то проиллюстрировать, в чем-то дискредитировать, а в чем-то и предвосхитить идеи кабинетных ученых. Книга адресована философам, историкам науки, а также широкому кругу читателей, интересующихся развитием научной мысли
Risk factors and incidence rates of COVID-19 breakthrough infections in vaccinated people with vaccine booster in general medicine, Toledo (Spain), for the period December 2021 to February 2022
Authors: Jose Luis Turabian
Published: June 2022

Background: The effectiveness of vaccines against COVID-19 has been demonstrated, but because new variants appear and immunity fades over time, continuous monitoring is necessary. Objectives: To determine incidence rates (IR) and risk factors of COVID-19 breakthrough infections in vaccinated people with vaccine booster (VB). Methodology: An observational, longitudinal, and prospective study of patients with COVID-19 breakthrough infections in vaccinated people with VB in a general practice setting in Toledo, Spain, for the period December 2021 to February 2022, during the wave of infections by omicron variant. Results: Forty-six cases of COVID-19 breakthrough infections with booster shot were included. The IR was 3.1 cases per 100 people with booster. The IR was higher in < 45 years (4.7%) vs. > 65 years (4.2%), and in women (3.6%) vs. man (2.6%). The only statistically significant risk/prevention factors were the presence of diseases of the skin [RR = 2.74 (95% CI: 1.3, 5.79)], Genitourinary chronic diseases [RR = 1.87 (95% CI: 1.19, 2.95)], complex family [RR = 0.22 (CI 95%: 0.58, 0.08)] and chronic diseases of the mental group [RR = 0.4 (95% CI: 0.82, 0.2)]. Conclusion: The IR of COVID-19 breakthrough infections with a booster shot, at the peak of omicron infections (December 2021-February 2022), in the general medicine clinic, Toledo, Spain, was high, suggesting modest VB protection effectiveness against symptomatic infection. Statistically significant risk and protective factors show mixed results; so, it is hypothesized that they are related to other main variables such as gender and age, and/or with risk/preventive behaviors. However, the small numbers of COVID-19 breakthrough infections with booster shots prevent definitive conclusions.

Influence of Depression Literacy, Mental Health Beliefs, and Stigma on Help-seeking Behaviour: A Semi-Systematic Review
Authors:   Department of Family Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre, Jalan Yaacob Latif, Bandar Tun Razak, 56000 Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia., Pakri Mohamed Rashidi Mohamed
Published: June 2022

Despite having a mental health act and clinical practice guideline, Malaysian patients with depression frequently progress to severe disease with poor prognosis. Understanding the underlying factors which influence help-seeking behaviour using a patient journey approach can provide insights for designing effective interventions. The study aimed to determine the different stages of patients journey for depression including awareness, screening, diagnosis, treatment, adherence, and control using a semi-systematic review. The review was conducted through (i) structured keyword search in Embase, MEDLINE, and BIOSIS databases using OVID platform for English articles published between 2005 and 2021; and (ii) an unstructured search on websites of Google, Incidence and Prevalence Database, World Health Organization, and Malaysian Ministry of Health. Studies included in the semi systematic review were based on Malaysian patients aged ≥18 years at different journey stages for depression and publications from year 2005 to July 2021. Thesis abstracts, letters to the editor, editorials, and case studies, or articles representing smaller population subgroups were excluded. Three articles out of 1062 retrievals through structured search and two articles out of four retrievals through the unstructured search were included in the final synthesis. We have found that the prevalence of major depressive disease (2.3%), low initial screening (20%), diagnosis (50% to 60%) and adherence (30% to 40%), despite high awareness (76.9%) and initiation of treatment (75.3%). Low education level, ethnicity, stigma regarding mental health, and irrational prescription pattern of primary care physicians were associated with poor mental health help-seeking behaviour. Depression literacy can improve the help-seeking behaviour of the patients.
Initiating Activation in Diabetes Self-Management From Patients’ Perspective

Published: June 2022

Patients’ active role is crucial in managing chronic illnesses like type 2 diabetes. Current evidence demonstrated patients who were activated had better clinical outcomes. Some factors influencing patient activation have been identified but there is little knowledge on how patients successfully start to take their role in managing diabetes. This study aimed to explore how patients begin to activate themselves in self-management. The narrative inquiry was taken as the qualitative methodological approach. Ten participants with type 2 diabetes were purposively sampled from a public primary care clinic in Malaysia. In-depth interviews were conducted and recorded. The data were analysed with thematic analysis. Three themes and four subthemes were generated. The first theme, “Learning what to do” describes the learning process from social networks and healthcare professionals that helped to define their role. The second theme highlighted that patients wished for a gradual approach in initiating activation, i.e. “Taking one step at a time”. They started with a more straightforward self-management task and needed more time to take up their role. The third theme pointed out that when patients could not perform certain self-management tasks, they would engage with someone else to help: “Engaging with someone for challenging tasks.” In conclusion, diabetes self-management education is substantial in developing ‘patient activation,’ i.e. patient’s ability to self-manage. The self-management plan should also be realistic and suit patients’ circumstances. Having a health partner or buddy among family members or peers is helpful when trying to adopt good dietary habits and perform regular exercise.

On 25 varieties of soft wheat, the effectiveness of the use of protein hydrolysate obtained from by-products of meat raw materials by deep processing using microconcentrations of chemical reagents was determined for foliar feeding and reducing the intensity of diseases. In field conditions, an increase in wheat yield was found in 72% of wheat varieties, in relation to control samples. A significant increase in the indicator was detected in samples Siberian 21, k-66269 ‒ by 143.1% (2017); Tulaykovskaya 108, k-65452 ‒ by 103.0% (2017); Ural cuckoo, k-66267 ‒ by 87.9% (2017); Amur krasnokoloska, k-32095 ‒ by 69.9% (2018–2019); Krasnoufimskaya 110, k-65478 ‒ by 59.2% (2018–2019). A significant increase in the increase in the vegetative mass of soft wheat was detected in varieties Leningradskaya 97, k-62935 – by 41.9% and k-32666 – by 39.1%. The increase in yield and disease resistance of wheat varieties was different. The increase in the values of the studied parameters after treatment with protein hydrolysate was associated with a change in the morphological characteristics of plants and the structure of the crop. Treatment with protein hydrolysate, which stimulates plant growth, helped to reduce the development of wheat diseases. The tendency of a statistically significant decrease in the intensity of root rot development at P <0.05 was revealed in the maximum number of wheat varieties (44%). In the Ural Cuckoo variety, k-66267, the development of root rot was not detected (in the control – 50%) and symptoms of the pathogenesis of powdery mildew in the Tyumenochka variety, k-66271 (in the control 11%). The Tulaykovskaya 108, k-65452 variety showed a decrease in the development of septoria-pyrenophorous spotting by 36.0% and an increase in total nitrogen in wheat leaves by 199.8% in relation to control samples. Foliar spraying of plants with a protein growth stimulator caused an increase in total nitrogen in wheat leaves in 92% of samples by an average of 84.6%.

The traditional form of recording machine code is assembly language. Its commands correspond directly to individual machine commands or sequences of commands. The syntax of an assembly language program is determined mainly by the instruction system of the specific processor and the directive system of the specific translator. For some platforms, there may be several kinds of assembly language syntax that are not compatible with each other. For example, the most popular assembly language syntaxes for Intel-compatible processors are Intel syntax and AT&T syntax. However, all existing types of assembly language syntax are primarily focused on easy readability by the computer, not the programmer. The system of symbolic macro commands of the processor presented in the article is a more clear form of representation of machine code, which promotes productivity when the programmer works with it, and also minimization of errors.

Authors: Rocha Rodrigo Santiago Barbosa , Rocha Valéria da Silva , Rocha Letícia de Barros , Da Silva Marianne Lucena
Published: June 2022

Background: Aging process is a risk factor for the development of several diseases, including osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by an increase in bone fragility that can result in fractures and considerably impact the lives of patients. As a means of preventing the onset of this disease or even reducing the impact of symptoms in cases where already exists, one can choose to practice physical exercises. The Pilates method was developed by Joseph Pilates with the aim of working mind, body awareness, postural control and movements through a single approach. Objectives: The aim of this study was to review in the available literature the effects of the Pilates method on people with osteoporosis. Methods: This is a systematic review of literature carried out through a comprehensive strategy in the databases PubMed, Cochrane, SciELO, Web of Science, Cinahl and Embase in August 2020. Results: Five studies, three clinical trials and 2 studies Observational studies, published between 2012 and 2020, were included in the review. Of a total of 210 participants, all were female and an average age of 61 years. The main factors evaluated in the studies were bone mineral density, pain, functionality and quality of life. Conclusion: The Pilates method was associated with pain relief, improved functionality and quality of life, and obtaining bone mineral density in women with osteoporosis.

Authors: Kock Kelser de Souza , Santos Halen D’Aquino Claudio
Published: June 2022

Background: the handgrip strength (HGS) is an important functional indicator in the elderly. The aim of this work was to evaluate the prognostic value of HGS, sociodemographic and functional indicators in elderly patients in a hospital in southern Brazil. Methods: prospective cohort observational study in individuals aged 60 years or older who were admitted to the clinical sectors in a tertiary Hospital of a southern Brazil. Results: a total of 218 participants were evaluated, of which 55% were men, with median age (p25-p75) of 72 years (65.7-78.0). The most prevalent hospitalization diagnoses were respiratory (19.7%) and vascular (19.3%) disorders. The median values (p25-p75) of HGS for men and women were, respectively, 50.00 (25.0-65.0) and 30.0 (20.0-40.0) kgf. As to the outcome, 44 (20.2%) individuals eventually died. The study showed that there was higher chance of mortality in aged patients (OR = 1.063; CI 95% 1.021-1.108) with higher Charlson Comorbidity Index scores (OR = 1.293; CI 95% 1.149-1.256), Glasgow Coma Scale Index scores <15 (OR = 15.656; CI 95% 7.161-34.228), Katz Index scores <6 (OR = 15.617; CI 95% 6.496-37.545), laboratory tests indicating leukocytosis (OR = 4.118; CI 95% 1.984-8.546) and anemia (OR = 3.104; CI 95% 1.307-7.369), lower HGS values (Men: OR = 0.901; CI 95% 0.862-0.941; Women: OR = 0.926; CI 95% 0.896-0.956), and longer length of stay in hospital (OR = 1.088; CI 95% 1.042-1.136). Conclusion: HGS and other epidemiological indicators are highly relevant in the prognostic evaluation of elderly people in hospital admission.
Picasso, bodegones enciclopédicos en Vallauris, en 1951 a 1953.
Authors: Luque Teruel Andrés
Published: June 2022

La escultura enciclopédica de Picasso se ajustó a tres períodos en distintos talleres, en Boisgeloup, en 1933-1934; París, en 1937 y 1943-1945; y Vallauris, en 1948-1954. Durante tres años en esta última etapa realizó bodegones con varios elementos, en los que llevó el método enciclopédico a un máximo nivel de expresión plástica, sobre todo en los casos en los que representó jarrones con flores, en los que tuvieron una destacada participación los objetos diversos que transformó en contenedores y la integración de materiales industriales como partes de las plantas y las flores. El artículo estudia por primera vez de modo sistemático esos bodegones, numerados en el catálogo de Werner Spies y Christine Piot, que el primero sólo comentó de modo genérico, por lo que la clasificación y el análisis pormenorizado de todas ellas aportan un conocimiento más profundo y exacto de cada una y, por extensión, del conjunto de la escultura enciclopédica.

It also aims at examining the impact of organizational culture, as an intermediate variable, on the relationship between the two above mentioned variables. The sample of this study comprised 152 respondents working at five types of Jordanian companies. The results of the study have confirmed the positive effect of the three corporate governance dimensions (compliance with the corporate governance code, top management, and control environment) on three types of organizational commitment (affective, continuance, and normative). The results also confirmed that there is no significant effect of t transparency and disclosure and the rights of shareholders and stakeholders on affective and normative commitment.
The explanatory power of expenses in the performance of eurozone mutual funds
Authors: Correia-Domingues Renato , Duran-Santomil Pablo , Otero-Gonzalez Luis
Published: June 2022

We studied the relationship between the mutual fund’s expenses and their profitability, as well as their ability to predict future performance. We used regressions in panel data with a sample of equity mutual funds of the eurozone area from 2003 to 2014. We concluded that expenses are an important determinant of performance in the eurozone and we show evidence that there is, in the short-term, a negative relationship between the profitability of the year and the level of expenses of the fund. Furthermore, there is also a relationship between the profitability of mutual funds with their level of expenses after one and three years. On the other hand, by applying the quantile regression, it seems clear that the funds with the highest returns have a positive relationship with the level of expenses.
İran’ın Güney Kafkasya Politikası
Authors: DEMİR Yeşim
Published: June 2022

Güney Kafkasya, coğrafi konumu ve stratejik önemi ile dünyanın en önemli bölgelerinden biri olduğu kadar enerji kaynakları üzerindeki mücadele, etnik çatışmalar, ekonomik zayıflık gibi nedenlerle de istikrarsız bir bölge özelliği taşımaktadır. SSCB’nin dağılmasının ardından tarih boyunca İran’ın ilgi odağında olan Güney Kafkasya bölgesindeki siyasi ve jeopolitik değişimler, İran’ın tarihsel ve kültürel bağları olan bölge ülkeleri Azerbaycan, Ermenistan ve Gürcistan ile ilişkilerini önemli ölçüde etkilemiştir. Çevresindeki önemli jeopolitik gelişmeler nedeniyle İran’ın, bu üç ülke ile ilişkileri ideolojik hedeflerden çok güvenlik ve ekonomik çıkarlara yönelik olmuştur. Çünkü İran, bu ülkelerle ilişkilerini geliştirebildiği oranda güvenliğini sağlayarak konumunu güçlendirmek ve uluslararası tecrit politikasından kurtulmayı amaçlamaktadır. İran için siyasi, kültürel, ekonomik ve güvenlik bakımından önem taşıyan Güney Kafkasya ülkeleri, bölgesel ve bölge dışı güçlerin de dikkatini çekmiştir. Dolayısıyla İran’ın bölge ülkeleri ile siyasi ve ekonomik ilişkileri bölgede varlık gösteren güçlerden etkilenmiştir. Ancak İran’ın, bölge ülkeleriyle inişli çıkışlı seyreden ilişkilerinde dengeli politika izlediği ölçüde etkin olabileceği ise dönem dönem yaşanan gelişmelerle ortaya çıkmıştır.

Through participatory Arts-Based Research, constructed within the theoretical basis of the Activity System, participants engaged with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program content to develop a cohesive and meaningful project structure and aesthetic. Practitioner/researcher supremacy is disrupted by participatory Arts-Based Research and upheld by temporal constraints, as demonstrated by participant engagement and disruptions to participant collaboration. This research pilots a replicable framework that centers the experiences of individuals completing DBT, interrupts cycles of harm, and uplifts social knowledge construction that emanates from DBT skills training communities. DBT is a skills-based psychotherapeutic approach that prepares individuals to address problems in living that result from the development of mental disorders in environments that persistently signal that an individual is an unreliable informant of their own experience. In its standard format, DBT incorporates a group skills training component to remediate skill deficits developed in this invalidating environment. The body of literature that explores DBT skills training is structured in a way that elevates practitioner/researcher perceptions of individual progress over participants’ interpretations of their own collective experiences. Arts-Based Research is a theoretically-backed methodology that can disrupt the harmful parallels between the development of the disorders DBT is intended to treat and the dominant research paradigm into DBT.

Irregular migration is one of salient problems in world politics. In particular, for border states, it even causes a serious security problem. In this regard, they have a tendency to link border management to a high security perspective. However, this attitude in some cases risk respecting fundamental human rights in particular for migrants. The aim of this article is to find the answer to the question of ‘to what extent do mechanisms in the field of “border management” guarantee at the same time the conduct of effective border controls and the respect of the fundamental rights of persons intercepted while crossing the border irregularly?’. It is argued that there is an inequality between border management and human rights and this can be seen in the European Union’s border management initiatives in the land border between Greece and Turkey. FRONTEX and its RABIT operation are critically examined.

This study compares the effectiveness of interactive videoconferencing and online text-based modular learning in improving students’ performance in Kinematics and Dynamics lessons in the Philippine education context. Moreover, it explores the students’ level of perceptions toward the two modalities. This study used a quantitative experimental crossover method with posttest only. The researchers collected relevant data from 82 Grade-12 students by using a posttest and Likert-scale questionnaire. The results revealed that the students exhibit very satisfactory and satisfactory performances in the interactive videoconferencing and online text-based module, respectively. Furthermore, the students are more likely to use interactive videoconferencing than the online-text-based module as revealed by the test of difference results. As indicated, interactive videoconferencing offers more learning benefits to students. However, this study recommends exploring further benefits, challenges, and other vital factors of these two methods in a virtual classroom. Filipino educators must also consider the blended learning approach.

The transformation of education norms from face-to-face teaching era to the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) era has promoted the rise of the big data era in educational data. This situation has created an opportunity for an educator to utilize the available data from MOOCs to facilitate student learning and performance. Therefore, this research study aims to introduce three types of ensemble learning methods, which are stacking, boosting, and bagging, to predict student performance. These techniques combine the advantage of feature selection method and Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) algorithm as a method to balance the number of output features to build the ensemble learning model. As a result, the proposed AdaBoost type ensemble classifier has shown the highest prediction accuracy of more than 90% and Area Under the Curve (AUC) of approximately 0.90. Results by AdaBoost classifier have outperformed other ensemble classifiers, stacking and bagging as well as base classifiers.

Background: Most people across rural areas in Africa depends of phytomedicine for the treatment of various diseases. This study aims to evaluate the impact of hydro-alcohol extract of mistletoe leaves on changes in body-weight, uterus-weight, ovary and liver of female Wistar rats.Methods: Forty-nine female rats were randomly selected into nine groups with five rats per group. Group 1 received 5 ml/kg of water, group 2 received mono sodium glutamate (MSG) 800 mg/kg, group 3 received extract 100 mg/kg, group 4 received extract 200 mg/kg, group 5 received extract 400 mg/kg, group 6 received extract 100 mg/kgand MSG 800 mg/kg, group 7 received extract 200 mg/kgand MSG 800vmg/kg, group 8 received extract 400 mg/kg and MSG 800 mg/kg and group 9 received letrozole 0.6 mg/kg and MSG 800 mg/kg. Administration of extract was done for 28 days.Results: Findings from the study revealed significance decreased in the final weight of the animals. When treated groups received extract “100 mg/kg, extract 200 mg/kg, extract 400 mg/kg, and extract 200 mg/kg and MSG 800 mg/kg”, it shows significance decreased in body weight difference. The results also show significance increased in the weight of the right ovary in the treated groups extract 100 mg/kg, extract 100 mg/kg and MSG 800 mg/kg. Extract 100 mg/kg, extract 400 mg/kg and MSG 800 mg/kg and letrozole 0.6 mg/kg and MSG 800 mg/kg, shows significance decreased in the weight of the uterus. MSG 800 mg/kg, “extract 100 mg/kg, extract 200 mg/kg, and extract 400 mg/kg”, it shows significance decreased in the weight of the liver. Statistical analysis was done using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 23 and p<0.05 was significant.Conclusions: There was significance decreased in rat’s body weight and significant increase in the right ovary when a lower dose of the extract was given and this increase could be due to MSG. The uterus significantly decreases when low dose of the extract was administered and the liver organ also has significant decreased in all the groups treated with extract alone.
