Globalization is a concept used to describe the phenomenon of intensifying cross-border flows of goods and services, technology, capital, labor and information. The world is currently going through the fourth wave of globalization, and the cyber world seems to be its final frontier. The digital economy, born during the third wave of globalization, has been consolidated through e-commerce, digital services; this type of economy is based on artificial intelligence, but it is increasingly becoming vulnerable to cyber attacks. At the same time, there is talk about negative globalization, which is spreading, among others, through the effects of climate change. The economic downturn exponentially exacerbates the material difficulties faced by already vulnerable social groups. Against this background, methods based on information and communication technology (ICT) can be a viable solution to the problem of unequal access of the population to public health services. The main objective of the article is to analyze how new technologies contribute to opening up new opportunities for the population to access medical services. The research methodology is based on consulting existing articles on PubMed and Google Scholar platforms, but also on the websites of decision-making institutions such as the Romanian and Moldavian Ministries of Health, the Romanian National Institute of Public Health, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States, etc. One of the conclusions we reach is that international collaboration in finding solutions to the current medical crisis has manifested itself in the unprecedented development of ICTbased medical applications.

Published: October 2022

The problem of human trafficking is very relevant in the modern world and causes concern for both the international community and individual states. A comprehensive study of the problem requires different approaches and methods to produce results that reflect its current status. Scientific works of foreign and domestic authors, international and national legal framework that provides the legislative framework for the activities of state and public institutions in the implementation of anti-trafficking policies play an important role in the study of the phenomenon of human trafficking. However, despite the efforts made by the international community in the fight against human trafficking, it continues to exist due to the presence of macro-level factors of an economic, political, social, and moral nature.

Yoghurt is a fermented dairy product, rich in protein content and possesses a gel-like texture. This study was undertaken to assess consumer preferences for yoghurt and to compare the nutritional, sensory, microbial and physiochemical qualities of six brands of yoghurt. The sensory analysis for color, taste and consistency were carried out, and it was observed that product A has a normal taste, while product B - E possesses a sweet taste, while product F has a sour taste, possessing a custard-like consistency. The total cultural heterotrophic bacterial and fungal count was observed, and product D possess a higher bacteria count, while product A possess a higher fungal count (Cfu/mL). A sensitivity culture test was carried out on five different bacteria isolate using the following antibiotics agents: Amoxicillin (AMI), Streptomycin (S), Chloramphenicol (CH), Norfloxacin (N), ciprofloxacin (CPX), Erythromycin (E), Gentamycin (CN), Rifampicin (RD), Ampiclox (APX), and Levofloxacin (Lev). The result showed that Bacillus coagulans was resistance to all the antibiotics. The result of this study further indicated poor microbiological standards of commercial yoghurts sold in Ogwashi-uku market in Delta state at the time of this research. It is recommended that yoghurt stored without a refrigerator over one day should be consumed to avoid an outbreak of contamination which can be called food poisoning. Also, manufacturers should apply hygienic processes when producing yoghurt to avoid contamination. Finally, yoghurt manufacturers and vendors should avoid long exposure of yoghurt, also quality control (QC) measures including good manufacturing practices (GMPS) should be encouraged.

Pengaruh olahraga tim dalam memotivasi belajar senam kebugaran jasmani: kasus model pembelajaran team battle
Authors: Swardiyasa I Made Siman
Published: October 2022

Pendidikan Jasmani Olahraga dan Kesehatan merupakan pendidikan yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kebugaran dan kesehatan peserta didik baik jasmani maupun rohaninya. Akan tetapi, tidak semua materi keterampilan olahraga dapat dipraktekkan di sekolah. Hal ini dikarenakan kurangnya fasilitas yang memadai serta waktu untuk melakukan olahraga tersebut hanya 1 minggu sekali tiap kelasnya. Apalagi jika harus mengajar 2 rombel dengan jumlah peserta didik di atas 25 orang. Karena terbatasnya waktu yang ada oleh jadwal Ujian Sekolah, libur hari raya, dan pertemuan hanya satu kali dalam satu minggu. Hal ini sangat tidak memungkinkan untuk memotivasi belajar peserta didik terutama untuk melatih gerakan Senam Kebugaran Jasmani dalam waktu singkat. Senam Kebugaran Jasmani merupakan gerakan yang kuat, cepat dan serasi serta dinamis dengan mengikuti irama lagu atau musik serta terdiri dari 3 tahap yaitu pemanasan, inti dan pendinginan serta gerakannya dapat diikuti oleh semua orang. Tujuan diberikannya Senam Kebugaran Jasmani yaitu untuk  meningkatkan kebugaran jasmani peserta didik sehingga peserta didik tetap dalam keadaan sehat dan bugar serta mampu melakukan aktivitas setiap hari dengan baik. Adapun metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Penelitian deskriptif dilakukan dengan cara mencari informasi berkaitan dengan gejala yang ada, dijelaskan dengan jelas tujuan yang akan diraih, merencanakan bagaimana melakukan pendekatannya, dan mengumpulkan berbagai macam data sebagai bahan untuk membuat laporan. Sedangkan model pembelajaran yang digunakan yaitu dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran Team Battle. Model pembelajaran ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan motivasi belajar senam kebugaran jasmani peserta didik dalam bentuk kelompok. Team Battle terdiri dari dua suku kata yaitu, Team  dan Battle. Team berarti tim atau kelompok atau regu, sedangkan Battle berarti pertempuran atau perlombaan. Jadi Team Battle memiliki arti Pertempuran Tim yang artinya hampir sama dengan pertandingan atau perlombaan antar tim. Diibaratkan sebagai satu pasukan, jika ingin menang mereka harus melakukan pertempuran terlebih dahulu. Untuk penilaian lomba Team Battle, dari akumulasi nilai 3 orang juri sehingga ada dua tim mendapat nilai total tertinggi yaitu tim Rebung dan tim Sixstar dengan poin 2500. Sedangkan untuk hasil motivasi peserta didik secara keseluruhan, yang didapat dari hasil instrumen motivasi belajar peserta didik sebanyak 60 orang yaitu 87,97%.

Automatic cell type annotation using supervised classification: A systematic literature review
Authors: Hia Nazifa Tasnim , Sumon Ahmed
Published: October 2022

Single-cell sequencing gives us the opportunity to analyze cells on an individual level rather than at a population level. There are different types of sequencing based on the stage and portion of the cell from where the data are collected. Among those Single Cell RNA seq is most widely used and most application of cell type annotation has been on Single-cell RNA seq data. Tools have been developed for automatic cell type annotation as manual annotation of cell type is time-consuming and partially subjective. There are mainly three strategies to associate cell type with gene expression profiles of single cell by using  marker genes databases, correlating expression data, transferring levels by supervised classification. In this SLR, we present a comprehensive evaluation of the available tools and the underlying approaches to perform automated cell type annotations on scRNA-seq data.

Authors: Emu Ishrat Jahan , Sumon Ahmed
Published: October 2022

Recent advances in single-cell transcriptomics have made it possible to explore the dynamic mechanisms of immunology in a high-throughput and objective manner. Unsupervised trajectory inference methods attempt to automatically reconstruct the developmental path cells are following by using a mixture of cells at various stages of development. In the past few years, there have been a multitude of new techniques for deducing the trajectory of a single cell from its data. This paper proposes that new researchers might focus on these criteria by examining the strategies and challenges of existing methodologies. Using specific databases (Scopus, Google Scholar and IEEE Xplore), these single cell data trajectory inference studies from 2016 to 2022 were reviewed. We have adhered to the PRISMA structure. Three databases and the most recent works on trajectory inference have been selected. The majority of studies compared their results to those of previously established methods. Several challenges were identified. Additionally, we attempted to identify the most recent work strategies. This may aid future researchers in locating suitable strategies.

Authors: Mitchie Roa
Published: October 2022

Presently, climate change is still one of the pressing environmental concerns in the world generally caused by greenhouse gas emission. Among the greenhouse gases emitted by various sources, carbon dioxide contributes largely to the emission. In this study, the entity-level greenhouse gas emission of the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines-Oroquieta for Year 2020 was estimated following the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Based on the results, emission from mobile combustion sources was estimated to be 0.0895 tCO2e while emission from stationary combustion sources was 0.139 tCO2e yielding a total GHG emission for Scope 1 of 0.2285 tCO2e. Moreover, the electricity consumption of the campus which corresponds to the Scope 2 emission yielded 24.7135 tCO2 constitutes largely to the overall greenhouse gas emission. This might be due to the flexible learning modality where faculty members stay at their respective offices to conduct their classes hence regularly utilizing electricity from air conditioners, computers, mobile phones and others.
Cocaine use and related pathologies
Authors: Akan Mustafa , Cumurcu Hatice
Published: October 2022

The use of cocaine, which is a stimulant substance that can quickly develop addiction, is increasing in Europe and Turkey. Cocaine use can cause psychiatric and physical diseases in the individual, but it can also cause social and legal problems. Genetic, sociocultural and pharmacological factors, some factors related to learning and conditioning have an important role in the etiology of cocaine addiction. Cocaine exerts its psychoactive and addictive effects through the limbic system in the brain, which regulates pleasure and motivation. The nucleus accumbens, which is a part of the limbic system, is the most important region that mediates the effect of cocaine. Cocaine use can often be seen together with other psychiatric diseases, and it can also cause damage by affecting other system organs, especially the central nervous system. In this article, the neurochemical effects of cocaine, related psychiatric/physical diseases and treatment options are presented in the light of current information.

Authors: Manna Nirmalya , Das Pushpak , Reja Abhishek , Das Sudipta , Das Debasis
Published: October 2022

Background: Child rearing practices are very important determinants of overall growth and development of child. As mother is primary caregiver of child, her knowledge regarding child rearing is very important. Unfortunately, till today, in India, teenage marriage and teenage pregnancy are very common. These adolescent mothers are not only underprepared physically and psychologically for giving birth and rearing a child successfully, but also it is assumed that have no proper knowledge. However, there was no sufficient research study for assessing knowledge regarding child rearing among teenage pregnant women in West Bengal, especially in rural area.

Aims and Objectives: Assessing the knowledge regarding child rearing practice and its relationship with the determinants among teenage pregnant women in rural area of West Bengal.

Materials and Methods: A descriptive community-based cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted in rural field practice area of Medical College, Kolkata among 99 adolescent pregnant women during time period of July–December 2021. Data were analyzed in SPSS software version 20.

Results: Mean age of the respondents was 17.60 (±1.23) years. Among the participants 58% being school dropout and 46% were homemaker. Maximum number of participants was
married and got pregnant within age group of 15–17. Only 59.6% had good knowledge about child rearing. Number of child and perceived social pressure was statistically significant with the CRK score.

Conclusions: The government should give more emphasis to improving maternal education and preventing teenage marriage and teenage pregnancy as a long-term strategy for improving child health.

Published: October 2022

Background: India accounts for (4%) of all malaria cases worldwide. The World malaria report 2017 showed that, by 2016, global progress against malaria had stalled and was off track to meet the Global Technical Strategy milestones for 2020.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study is to assess knowledge of rural medical officers (RMO) and health workers on malaria epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment as per National Vector Borne Disease Control Program of India guidelines.

Materials and methods: A descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional study was done among government health personnel’s using a semi-structured questionnaire.

Results: In the present study, 258 health personnel’s participated comprising multipurpose health workers female (MPHW-F), multipurpose health worker male (MPHW-M), and RMO. The standardized score on knowledge of vector biology and epidemiology was 72% and 54% for RMO and (MPHW-M), respectively. On malaria diagnosis, MPHW-M has got median score (53%) as compared to RMO (46%). On national malaria drug policy, there is a marginal difference between median score of RMO (42%) and MPHW-M (40%). Overall, there is incomplete and poor knowledge of treatment of malaria among all health personnel’s with lack of concept about presumptive treatment. Training showed some positive impact on the knowledge of MPHW-F but no impact on MPHW-M. Graduates and experienced workers have got better knowledge than undergraduates and MPHW-M have more knowledge than MPHW-F. There is poor knowledge of reporting formats, and usage of rapid diagnostic kits among all the health personnels. There was no significant impact of education qualification, in service training and work experience on the knowledge of Male health workers.

Conclusion: Training needs to be suitably tailored as there is a lot of scope of improvement in the knowledge regarding malaria diagnosis and treatment among health workers.
Inclusive pedagogy: Embracing diversity in a virtual class
Authors: Chifamba Constance
Published: October 2022

This study analysed literature on inclusive pedagogy and its application in a virtual classroom. One of the major consequences of the Covid 19 Pandemic was a sudden paradigm shift from traditional modes of delivering instruction to modern technologically compliant modes such as e- learning and multimodal instruction. The issue of concern is whether or not the different categories of learners have their pedagogical needs adequately met in a virtual classroom. The researcher carried out a literature review analysis using search engines such as Google Scholar, Ebsco and others. For the past few decades there has been great emphasis on inclusive education. However, the preponderance of literature available focuses on special needs learners or learners with some disability. The major theories that inform the study are Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences, Fleming and Mills’ VARK theory and The Universal Design for Learning. The findings from readings and practice revealed that in a virtual class the students may be placed into 4 major categories. Each of these categories has unique characteristics. It is only when educators understand each category of learners then they are able to develop inclusive pedagogic strategies to optimize learning for each category. This study used an inclusive pedagogy conceptual frame work cycle. This conceptual framework comprises of 3 key phases; Cognitive preparedness, curriculum preparedness and classroom practice understanding the learner. As the cyclic process continues the quality of inclusion becomes better refined and no learner is left behind. The study recommends that educators strive to know their learners, deliberately plan for their unique and diverse needs then finally educators need to engage the learners according to their uniqueness utilizing variety of pedagogical strategies of both lesson delivery and assessment of learning. These may include blended learning, multimodal instruction using both synchronous and asynchronous sessions, self-assessments, peer assessments as well as teacher assessments.

Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: Developmental stage and cryopreservation method have significant impact on the pregnancy rate after transfer of embryos produced in vivo. OBJECTIVE: To determine the pregnancy outcomes from ovine embryos cryopreserved at different developmental stages. MATERIALS
AND METHODS: Embryos at different developmental stages were obtained from donor ewes through simultaneous estrus treatment and laparoscopic artificial insemination. Embryos, either cryopreserved via vitrification or slow freezing method, were implanted into recipient ewes. The pregnancy
rate was determined 35 days after transfer. RESULTS: The pregnancy rate of developing embryos increases after transfer from the morula stage, early blastocyst to expanded blastocyst stages (64.9%, 73.9% and 81.3%, respectively). However, cryopreservation significantly decreases the
pregnancy rate of embryos at all three developmental stages, and there is no significant difference among developmental stages (43.9%, 43.7%, 52.9%, respectively). There is also no significant difference in the pregnancy rate between slowly-frozen embryos and vitrified embryos. CONCLUSION:
The pregnancy outcomes of embryo transfer is better at the expanded blastocyst stage than at earlier stages. However, no difference is observed in the pregnancy rate of embryos at different developmental stage after cryopreservation, either by slow freezing and vitrification. Cryopreservation
methods for ovine embryos, both slow freezing and vitrification, need further improvement.

BACKGROUND:Cryopreservation process negatively affects spermatozoa functions. Humanin, a small polypeptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome, is well known for its role in cell survival.OBJECTIVE:To quantify the endogenous levels of humanin in seminal plasma of crossbred Frieswal bulls and to study its role in cryoprotection. The presence of humanin in bull spermatozoa was also investigated.MATERIALS AND METHODS:A total of 40 semen samples were separated into two groups based on the initial progressive motility (IPM): Good (IPM ≥70%) and Poor ( IPM ≤50%) groups; and/or based on the post-thaw motility (PTM): Freezable (PTM≥50%) and Non-freezable (PTM < 50%) groups. Humanin concentration in seminal plasma (SP-HN) was quantified using ELISA.RESULTS:SP-HN concentration ranged from undetectable to 67.6 pg/mL with a median level of 35.2 pg/mL. SP-HN level was significantly higher in the good quality semen group than in the poor quality semen group (p<0.001), and also significantly higher in the freezable group than in the non-freezable group (p<0.001). SP-HN level was positively correlated with initial progressive motility, post-thaw semen motility, viability, acrosome intactness and plasma membrane integrity, but negatively correlated the level of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde content. Immunochemical localization showed the presence of humanin in the proximal region of the middle piece of spermatozoa.CONCLUSION:Endogenous humanin level had significant correlation with semen quality and might protect sperm cells against freeze-induced oxidative stress.

Published: October 2022

Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is a popular technology for identifying small molecules involved in metabolism, better known as metabolites. Coupled with liquid chromatography (LC), LC-MS/MS instruments first separate, ionize, and fragment metabolites, then measure mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) and intensities of metabolite fragments. Understanding metabolite fragmentation is crucial to develop computational tools for identifying metabolites based on this spectroscopic data. Metabolite fragmentation patterns have large variations making it especially difficult for computer scientists to design and implement metabolite identification approaches. To address this interdisciplinary challenge, this article presents FragView, a web-based application providing the web service for visualizing metabolite fragmentation. Users can break chemical bonds to produce metabolite fragments and export 3D fragment structures for 3D printing. Developing FragView is an opportunity for exposing student participants to this interdisciplinary bioinformatics project. This paper summarizes the experience of training student participants in bootcamps and designing the implementation plan based on student backgrounds. Students were exposed to project meeting discussions on coding and raw data visualization and visited a lab with an LC-MS/MS instrument. FragView is an open source, freely accessible tool, released under the GPLv3 license. We will continue to improve and update FragView in the future based on feedback.
System for Detecting Social Distance During COVID-19 using YOLOv3 and OpenCV
Authors: Zakariya Barnabas
Published: October 2022

A virus called COVID-19 spreads between people in close proximity via minute droplets created through talking, sneezing, coughing, and most commonly by inhalation. Many people have died as a result of the pandemic’s severe respiratory infection, which is still present today. You can reduce your risk of contracting COVID-19 by avoiding physical contact with others. This study suggests a real-time AI framework for people detection, monitoring social distance violations, and categorising people’s social distances based on live video feeds. In this study, YOLOv3 was suggested for object detection. Its straightforward neural network architecture makes it appropriate for embedded devices that are reasonably priced. Comparing the suggested model to other real-time detection methods, it is a better choice. Additionally, with the aid of OpenCV, an open-source toolkit for computer vision, machine learning, and image processing. The major purpose of the image processing feature is to enhance the image quality so that the AI detection system would accurately recognise human movement. Computer vision is used to analyse photos and videos.The final iteration of the prototype algorithm has been put to use in low-cost CCTV Cameras made up of fixed cameras that are placed in any public area where large crowds used to congregate. The suggested method is appropriate for a surveillance system in sustainable smart cities for people detection, social distance classification, and tracking social dis- tance violations. This will make it easier for the government to understand how people who are socially isolated are doing.
Effect of Dry and Flooded Rice as Cover Crops on Soil Health and Microbial Community on Histosols

Published: October 2022

Soil loss due to subsidence is a major concern in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) of South Florida. Summer is typically the fallow season in the EAA, and soil loss due to oxidation and erosion is significant. Flooding and cover cropping are common practices being adopted to conserve soil, reduce weed pressure, and enhance soil health in the EAA. Cover crops also increase the microbial biomass which are the key drivers of soil function. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of (i) fallow, (ii) dry rice as a cover crop, (iii) flooded fallow, and (iv) flooded rice as a cover crop on soil health indicators and microbial community and diversity within the EAA. Baseline (pre-planting) soil samples were collected from all fields before the application of different treatments and post-harvest soil samples were collected after rice was cut and tilled into the soil surface. Microbial community composition was determined using 16S rRNA gene amplicon and fungal ITS gene amplicon sequencing. Soil bulk density decreased, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) increased in all farming practices including fallow fields. Results showed flooded fallow, flooded rice, and rice planting increased maximum water holding capacity (MWHC) and soil protein and decreased total potassium (TK). Bulk soil microbial communities responded surprisingly quickly to the applied treatments. Taxonomic composition of prokaryotic and fungal communities at the phylum level revealed visible shifts in microbial communities in response to the treatments. Instead of leaving field fallow, planting rice or flooding is a better strategy to improve soil health.

Driving at high speed can increase the risk of accidents and the risk of traffic accidents for the driver. As an anticipatory step from the impact of a more severe accident, the authors design and implement an accident detection system that will provide SMS in the form of vehicle location data and vehicle details to the family of the accident victim when the system detects an accident The system built uses Arduino UNO components as the controller, accelerometer sensor MPU6050 as accident detection sensor, NEO6MV2 GPS Module as vehicle location module and SIM800L Module as SMS notification sending module. The system was built using Arduino IDE as an application program. The Accelerometer Sensor has a good system stability with a standard deviation of 0.024. The GPS sensor has a lock time that is quite fast and less than 3 minutes with good lock time stability. The GSM SIM800L module has a fairly good delivery delay with the largest delay of 3.95 seconds and the fastest delivery delay of 2.16 seconds. For further development of the tools that have been made, it is necessary to use better hardware so that the system's work performance can be better. It has a shorter GPS lock time and a shorter delay in sending SMS notifications.

An investigation was carried out on “Hazara Pukhuri”, a perennial pond in Sonitpur district, North East India, between July 2019 and June 2020. To assess the health of the waterbody, various biotic and diversity indices were applied, with aquatic and semi-aquatic hemipteran populations functioning as bioindicators. The pond’s hemipterans include 17 species from 13 genera and 8 families, including Gerridae, Corixidae, Pleidae, Notonectidae, Nepidae, Belostomatidae, Hydrometridae, and Mesoveliidae. The biotic indices Average Score per Taxon (ASPT), Stream Invertebrate Grade Number-Average Level (SIGNAL-2), and The Biological Monitoring Working Party (BMWP) Score, as well as other diversity indices, were assessed to indicate that the waterbody was unpolluted/ slightly polluted. The presence or lack of littoral vegetation and flooding and drying of nearby shallow water pools and swampy areas were important drivers of the distribution, abundance, and community composition of aquatic and semi-aquatic hemipterans in the studied water body.

The experimental trials were conducted to evaluate four IPM modules viz., M1-Integrated pest management, M2-Chemical module, M3-Farmer’s practice, and M4-untreated control against major insect pests viz., brown planthopper (BPH) Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), white backed planthopper (WBPH) Sogatella furcifera (Horvath), yellow stem borer (YSB) Scirpophaga incertulus (Walker), leaf folder (LF) Cnaphalocrocis medinalis L, in basmati rice in farmer fields at Hapur, Uttar Pradesh. These experiments were conducted in during kharif 2017 and 2018. The observations were made on the mean number of hoppers (plant and leafhoppers), % leaf damage, % dead heart and white earhead. Similarly, occurrence of spiders was also monitored. The results revealed that the M1- IPM module was observed as the best with minimum pest damage, and higher yield. This study concludes that integration of ecofriendly sustainable IPM practices not only minimize insecticide use and other input costs, but also increases the crop yield by safeguarding the natural enemy (spiders). Pre-season skill-oriented extension training programs, field demonstration-based farmer-first participatory approach, as well as regular communication through social media, would enhance their adoption in basmati rice production.

In this study, Metarhizium rileyi isolates (M. rileyi NIPHM, M. rileyi MTCC 4254 and M. rileyi MTCC 10395) were evaluated for their compatibility with other entomopathogenic fungi viz. Metarhizium anisopliae NBAIR (Ma-35), commercial formulation of M. anisopliae, M. anisopliae (Local), Beauveria bassiana ITCC 7126, B. bassiana (Local) and commercial formulation of Verticillium lecanii and neem based formulations- (azadirachtin 0.03%EC) and (azadirachtin 0.15%EC) along with synthetic insecticide spinetoram 11.7%SC. Neem-based formulations viz., azadirachtin 0.03% EC 1.5 ml/ l and 0.15%EC 5 ml/ l reduced M. rileyi MTCC 4254 growth by 44.77% and 53.73% over control, respectively; M. rileyi MTCC 4254 was more compatible with M. anisopliae NBAIR (Ma-35) and commercial formulation of M. anisopliae with less reduction in growth (24.3% and 24.9%, respectively); but it was least compatible with commercial formulation of V. lecanii. M. rileyi MTCC 4254 recorded 71.64% reduction with spinetoram 11.7% SC (0.4 ml/ l). Thus, M. rileyi was compatible with M. anisopliae NBAIR (Ma-35), M. anisopliae followed by azadirachtin 0.03% EC, and these could be used as components in IPM.

Comparative assessment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) gene sequence uncovers the Bemisia tabaci mitotypes. The current study aims to define B. tabaci mitotypes found in various agro ecological zones across India. Phylogenetic analysis of 13 samples from various agroclimatic regions revealed presence of four mitotypes: Asia 1, Asia II 1, Asia II 5 and Asia II 7. Among, Asia II 1 was found to be abundant and widespread distribution in the thirteen locations studied. From the 13 sequences examined, 7 haplotypes viz., three of Asia II 1, two of Asia II 5, each one of Asia 1 and Asia II 7 were identified. Nucleotide diversity was observed to be greater in Asia II 5 (0.00388) than in Asia II 1 (0.00258), and haplotype diversity was observed to be greater in Asia II 5 (1.000) than in Asia II 1 (0.600).
Online Resources and Professional Development for Teachers of English Learners: A US State-by-State Analysis

Published: October 2022

The United States has a growing population of English learners (ELs) and a shortage of trained English as Second Language (ESL) teachers, leaving many teachers unprepared to work with ELs. As teachers turn frequently to online resources for guidance, we reviewed the available resources and professional development on departments of education websites from all 50 US states and District of Columbia related to ELs. Our research question was: What type of resources and professional development are available on state departments of education websites that a teacher of ELs might benefit from? Findings suggest a majority of states link to federal resources. About half of the states provide more robust resources, such as webinars. Approximately two-thirds of states include links to professional resources; however, there is little consistency between the states as to which outside organizations they recommend. There is no correlation between the quantity or quality of a state’s resources and the EL population in the state.
An Investigation into the Roles of Guessing and Partial Knowledge in the Vocabulary Size Test
Authors:   Rikkyo University, Japan, Asquith Steven
Published: October 2022

Although an accurate measure of vocabulary size is integral to understanding the proficiency of language learners, the validity of multiple-choice (M/C) vocabulary tests to determine this has been questioned due to users guessing correct answers which inflates scores. In this paper the nature of guessing and partial knowledge used when taking the Vocabulary Size Test (VST) is examined. The analysis evaluates the thought processes of test takers through think-aloud protocols and self-reports. This provides a taxonomy of seven types of guesses used by learners while taking the VST and measures the frequency of their occurrence. Based on qualitative coding, guesses are investigated to determine if they exhibit partial word knowledge which is relevant to the test construct. The findings suggest that both guesses resulting from the use of partial knowledge and random guesses are included in estimates and this has a detrimental effect on test accuracy. The paper concludes that the VST does not provide an accurate measure of the vocabulary necessary for reading due to guessing and the meaning-recognition format. It also suggests that the role of partial knowledge should be considered when producing more sophisticated vocabulary tests in the future.

Published: October 2022

Recent trends of migration have contributed to the growing number of Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFE) in our K-12 classrooms in the United States and worldwide. Simultaneously, the visibility of SLIFE in academic publications from around the world (i.e., Custodio & O’Loughlin, 2017; DeCapua et al., 2020; Pentón Herrera, 2022) contributes to a general understanding of best practices on what this population needs and how teachers can best help them. In this article, we rely on recent and relevant available publications, as well as personal experiences, to recommend essential social-emotional and academic considerations that teachers and stakeholders should know to support SLIFE effectively. The social-emotional considerations shared include social and emotional needs, cultural dissonance, connections to programming and services, and interpersonal relationships. The academic considerations shared are programming, first language (L1) literacy instruction, appropriate scaffolding, oscillating target language (L2) literacy instruction, and authentic learning beyond the school walls.
