A Cantor-Bendixson Rank for Siblings of Trees
Authors: Abdi Davoud
Published: May 2023

Similar to topological spaces, we introduce the Cantor-Bendixson rank of a tree $T$ by repeatedly removing the leaves and the isolated vertices of $T$ using transfinite recursion. Then, we give a representation of a tree $T$ as a leafless tree $T^\infty$ with some leafy trees attached to $T^\infty$. With this representation at our disposal, we count the siblings of a tree and obtain partial results towards a conjecture of Bonato and Tardif.
Estimating Global Subgraph Counts by Sampling
Authors: Janson Svante , Kurauskas Valentas
Published: May 2023

We give a simple proof of a generalization of an inequality for homomorphism counts by Sidorenko (1994). A special case of our inequality says that if $d_v$ denotes the degree of a vertex $v$ in a graph $G$ and $\textrm{Hom}_\Delta(H,G)$ denotes the number of homomorphisms from a connected graph $H$ on $h$ vertices to $G$ which map a particular vertex of $H$ to a vertex $v$ in $G$ with $d_v \ge \Delta$, then $\textrm{Hom}_\Delta(H,G) \le \sum_{v\in G} d_v^{h-1}\mathbf{1}_{d_v\ge \Delta}$.

We use this inequality to study the minimum sample size needed to estimate the number of copies of $H$ in $G$ by sampling vertices of $G$ at random.

The interaction between motor simulation and spatial perspective-taking in action language: a cross-cultural study
Authors: Tuena Cosimo , Di Lernia Daniele , Rodella Claudia , Bellinzona Francesca , Riva Giuseppe , Costello Matthew C. , Repetto Claudia
Published: May 2023

Growing evidence has revealed the crucial role of motor simulation and spatial perspective-taking in action language. However, there is still a lack of understanding of how motor and spatial processes interact when there are multiple actors involved, and if embodied processes are consistent across different cultures. To address this gap, we examined the interaction between motor simulation and spatial perspective-taking in action-sentences comprehension, along with the consistency of embodied processes across cultures. We collected data from Italian and US English speakers using an online sentence-picture verification task. The participants completed four conditions: two congruent (i.e., the participant is the agent in the sentence and the photo; the agent is someone else interacting with the participant in both the sentence and the picture) and two incongruent (i.e., the agents of the sentence and the picture do not match). The results show that when the perspective of the picture matched that described in the sentence-processing reaction times (RTs) were faster than in the incongruent conditions. In the congruent conditions where the agent is someone else, RTs were slower compared to the condition where the participant is the agent. This has been interpreted as claiming that motor simulation and perspective-taking are independent processes interacting during sentence comprehension (e.g., motor simulation is always run in the role of the agent, but we can adopt multiple perspectives depending on the pronouns and the contextual cues). Furthermore, Bayesian analysis provided evidence that embodied processing of action language entwines a common mechanism, suggesting cross-cultural consistency of embodied processes.
MESINIAGA TOWER
Authors: Farahdilla Suci
Published: May 2023

Mesiniaga Tower is one of first generation buildings design for low energy consumption purpose. The building itself was completed in 1992 and was designed by Ken Yeang, an architect whose concern is to create a better performance of a building without having to increase its cost of operation. It is located in Malaysia, South East Asia, where the tropical climate has heat and humidity almost the same throughout the year. The concept of the building is bioclimatic design with the original concept of fully natural ventilation, but later the conventional cooling system was added. The architect’s idea is a tube shaped building with multiple terraces and openable windows to provide more wind and humidity in order to have a comfortable thermal condition. However these ideas lead to the problem of increasing yearly energy consumption. This paper then suggest the possible design strategies to improve the thermal comfort of Mesiniaga Tower as well as lower its annual cost such as radiative cooling, night cooling, ground cooling and passive downdraught evaporated cooling. The radiative cooling then gives the building of 8% cooling potential.

MAPPING THE COST OF CULTIVATION OF PADDY AND WHEAT IN INDIA: AN ANALYSIS OF CACP DATA
Authors: VERMA SANTOSH
Published: May 2023

The analysis of CACP data show that CoC of paddy and wheat has increased enormously during the period 2006-07 to 2018-19. Although, the fixed and the operational (paid out) costs both have increased, but the later one have witnessed rapid acceleration. The relentless increase in paid out costs are due to two main reasons: first, the rollback of the State from providing cheaper farm inputs to farmers; and subsequently, second, increasing role of private operators in production and distribution of farm inputs which largely control the supply and prices of these inputs. This increase in CoC does not coincide with the increase in farm incomes of the farmers leading to aggravate the agrarian as well as rural crisis to a large extent in India.
Literary Impressionism in Walter de la Mare’s Reviews
Authors: Guy Adam
Published: May 2023

This chapter considers de la Mare’s reviews of the 1910s, looking at his writing on works by and about three contemporary novelists – Joseph Conrad, Henry James, and Dorothy Richardson. The chapter suggests that de la Mare reads these writers as literary impressionists. By invoking literary impressionism, de la Mare engages with a distinct strand of critical thinking that was prominent in Britain in this period. Like a number of his contemporaries, de la Mare saw in the work of Conrad, James, and Richardson a unique literary tendency that today represents an important moment of transition between Victorian realism and modernism.
Emergent Ethno-Cultural Hierarchies
Authors: Rowe Randall
Published: May 2023

Rowe examines news articles, video reports, and photographs collected through an online search of the archives of America’s Cable News Network (CNN), the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and Germany’s Deutsche Welle (DW) from June 2015 to January 2017, all focusing on the Balkan route crisis. Rowe identifies a paradigm within news media production that simultaneously relies on and complicates the East–West divide, revealing a shift in European geopolitics vis-à-vis migration. News media representations of the Balkan route have perpetuated binaries and European ethno-cultural hierarchies through their depiction of migration into the EU since 2015 and the subsequent political fallout (Brexit, the Visegrád Group’s anti-migrant policies, the rise of far-right nationalist political parties, and so on).
World War II Treason Trials and the Legacy of Irish Rebellion in Rebecca West’s The Meaning of Treason (1947)
Authors: Ebury Katherine
Published: May 2023

This chapter explores the legal charges of treason and treachery as they were inflected through the case of William Joyce, the fascist propagandist better known as Lord Haw Haw. The essay begins by exploring why ‘executions for treason, treachery, and related offences are a key concern of World War II writing’ before unpacking the particular place of Ireland within the British national conversation. Locating the prosecution of Joyce within the dynamics of British–Irish relations, and focusing on Rebecca West’s The Meaning of Treason, this chapter contends that ‘West’s focus on William Joyce’s Irishness’, as well as her foregrounding of Roger Casement’s trial as a precedent, ‘acts simultaneously as a device to both humanise and to other him’.
The Judge and the Human Hansard in Brian Friel’s Theatre
Authors: Roche-Tiengo Virginie
Published: May 2023

The next chapter looks at four of Brian Friel’s plays from the 1970s to argue that his work is alive to how transcendent standards of truth and justice survive in spite of the many ways in which they are inevitably compromised and made subject to earthly politics and expediencies. This, for Friel, is as true in his plays that have the British legal system as their backdrops as it is of the ones that centre on the Irish one. The law for Friel provides a metadramatic space in which such concepts as truth, performance and evidence might themselves be examined and tested for their adequacy. His plays allow their audiences to ‘imagine anew a space in which truth and reconciliation might finally find their proper place in the transcendent space between politics and the law’.
‘Why the hell are ye takin’ the job aff me?’
Authors: Clark Andy
Published: May 2023

This chapter outlines debates within industrial relations literature regarding the process of a workgroup developing a collective consciousness. After outlining Kelly’s (1998) mobilisation theory, and studies that utilised his framework, it examines critiques, particularly from Marxist perspectives regarding the linearity of the framework and its focus on individual notions of ‘injustice’. In framing the approach of this research, the chapter argues that the workplace, and the social relations among workers, can play a significant role in explaining the development of collectivism and mobilisation. The chapter makes the interdisciplinary argument that there should be much closer engagement between oral/labour history and mobilisation research as there is a shared research agenda that will benefit from more theoretical and methodological intersection, the approach taken in this book.
‘We were frightened it wis aw’ gonnae go abroad and we’d be oot the factory’
Authors: Clark Andy
Published: May 2023

This chapter analyses the worker occupation at the Lovable Bra factory in Cumbernauld, a few months after the workers’ victory at Lee. Cumbernauld was designated as a New Town following WW2 to disperse population and industry away from overcrowded cities like Glasgow. The chapter outlines the development of the town, and illustrates the tremendous success in attracting manufacturing firms to invest. This included Lovable, the American based lingerie producer, who opened a factory in 1964. By 1981, it was the second largest employer in Cumbernauld, with the vast majority of workers being women working on assembly. Oral history narratives thread through the chapter to assess memories of the factory, and reconstruct the production process and shopfloor cultures. Following this, the closure decision and initial worker response is considered, outlining how mobilisation was delayed due to uncertainty over the plant’s future. After a few weeks, the workers began their occupation. Despite a lower level of worker involvement, and a lack of external support, the action of the workers was successful in preventing closure, and the site reopened following a management buyout. Oral narratives are utilised to reconstruct the development of the action, the reasons for occupation, and eventual success.
Magnetic Tornado Properties: A Substantial Contribution to the Solar Coronal Heating via Efficient Energy Transfer
Authors: Kuniyoshi Hidetaka , Shoda Munehito , Iijima Haruhisa , Yokoyama Takaaki
Published: May 2023

In solving the solar coronal heating problem, it is crucial to comprehend the mechanisms by which energy is conveyed from the photosphere to the corona. Recently, magnetic tornadoes, characterized as coherent, rotating magnetic-field structures extending from the photosphere to the corona, have drawn growing interest as a possible means of efficient energy transfer. Despite its acknowledged importance, the underlying physics of magnetic tornadoes remains elusive. In this study, we conduct a three-dimensional radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulation that encompasses the upper convective layer and extends into the corona, with a view to investigating how magnetic tornadoes are generated and efficiently transfer energy into the corona. We find that a single event of magnetic flux concentration merger on the photosphere gives rise to the formation of a single magnetic tornado. The Poynting flux transferred into the corona is found to be four times greater in the presence of the magnetic tornado, as compared to its absence. This increase is attributed to a reduction in energy loss in the chromosphere, resulting from the weakened magnetic-energy cascade. Based on an evaluation of the fraction of the merging events, our results suggest that magnetic tornadoes contribute approximately 50% of the Poynting flux into the corona in regions where the coronal magnetic-field strength is 10 G. Potentially, the contribution could be even greater in areas with a stronger coronal magnetic field.
The Luminosity Function of Tidal Disruption Events from Fallback-powered Emission: Implications for the Black Hole Mass Function
Authors: Coughlin Eric R. , Nicholl Matt
Published: May 2023

Tidal disruption events (TDEs), in which a star is destroyed by the gravitational field of a supermassive black hole (SMBH), are being observed at a high rate owing to the advanced state of survey science. One of the properties of TDEs that is measured with increasing statistical reliability is the TDE luminosity function,

d

N

̇

TDE

/

dL

, which is the TDE rate per luminosity (i.e., how many TDEs are within a given luminosity range). Here we show that if the luminous emission from a TDE is directly coupled to the rate of return of tidally destroyed debris to the SMBH, then the TDE luminosity function is in good agreement with observations and scales as ∝L
−2.5 for high luminosities, provided that the SMBH mass function

—the number of SMBHs (N

dN

dM

is flat, which is in agreement with some observational campaigns, these results suggest that the fallback rate feeds the accretion rate in TDEs. Contrarily, if

is flat, which has been found theoretically and is suggested by other observational investigations, then the emission from TDEs is likely powered by another mechanism. Future observations and more TDE statistics, provided by the Rubin Observatory/LSST, will provide additional evidence as to the reality of this tension.
An Exploratory Study on Adherence to Joint Commission International Standards on Facility Management and Safety at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Authors: Nazareth Jossil , Kamath Rajesh , Lakshmi R. Vani , Somu G.
Published: May 2023

Introduction: According to the International Society for Quality in Healthcare, accreditation is a process in which "trained external peer reviewers evaluate a healthcare organisation's compliance with pre-established performance standards. Unlike licensure, accreditation focuses on continuous improvement strategies and achievement of optimal quality standards, rather than adherence to minimal standards intended to assure public safety".1,2 This study aims to observe and identify gaps in adherence to Facility Management and Safety Standards as prescribed by the Joint Commission International (JCI). Methodology: A time-bound single-centre observational study was carried out using the JCI Accreditation Standards for Hospitals (Sixth Edition). Questionnaires were shared with 20 purposively and conveniently (based on consent) selected participants after obtaining signed informed consent. Following the questionnaire examination, one-on-one interviews with management were held to acquire the necessary data for the study, including the reasons for non-compliance with specific requirements. This research closely examined JCI-recommended policies (Chapter: Facility Management and Safety) and the hospital's compliance with them. Results and Conclusion: Based on the study, it can be concluded that the hospital has complied with most of the standards on Facility Management and Safety Standards of the Sixth Edition of JCI. However, the clauses FMS.2:ME.3, FMS.6:ME.4, FMS.9.2.1:ME.3, and FMS.9.2.1:ME.4 were not met.
Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP-2/BMP-7) Heterodimer and BMPR1A, BMPR2 Polymorphism in Simple Fractures among Sudanese Patients
Authors: Ali Amin , Mukhtar Maowia , Shaheen Samir , Osman Abdelrahim Mohamed
Published: May 2023

Background: bone morphogenetic proteins are responsible for activating mesenchymal stem cells into osteocytes. This effect is signaled by serine-threonine kinase receptors called bone morphogenetic protein receptors. BMPR1A and BMPR2 polymorphisms were not reported to be associated with bone healing process. The objective of this study was to investigate BMP-2/-7 heterodimer and BMPR1A/ BMPR2 polymorphism with fracture healing progress.
Subjects and Methods: This is a case-control study conducted in selected hospitals in Khartoum, Sudan. Blood samples were taken from patients and healthy controls. Followed by clinical examination until the point of functional recovery. Quantitative ELISA and protein-pull down assay were done to BMP-2 and BMP-7. Genomic DNA extraction and PCR/RFP and sequencing were done to BMPR1A and BMPR2 target sequences.
Results: Matched case and control groups in age and gender. Functional outcome regained after 4.1 months ± 2.6. BMP2/7 complex levels were 288.75pg/ml ± 266.8 and 532.23 pg/ml ±582.5 in case and control, respectively (p= 0.021). BMPR2 exhibited single nucleotide polymorphism among all participants; while there was 25% and 22% had variant [A] BMPR1A, 75% and 78% [T] variant BMPR1A in case and control, respectively.
Conclusion: Significant change in plasma BMP-2/-7 heterodimer concentration was observed after trauma but no significant correlation between BMPR1A and BMPR2 polymorphism with fracture healing.

Authors: Franzese Sebastián , Facal Guillermina García , Menoret Adriana
Published: May 2023

A parasite-host list of cestodes parasitizing chondrichthyans in the Southwest Atlantic off Argentina and surrounding waters of Antarctica is compiled based on the available literature. The list is based on published descriptions and redescriptions of species, and newly collected worms during the current study. A total of 57 valid species belonging to 28 genera of the orders Cathetocephalidea, Diphyllidea, Gyrocotylidea, Lecanicephalidea, Onchoproteocephalidea, Phyllobothriidea, Rhinebothriidea, “Tetraphyllidea”, and Trypanorhyncha is listed. Information on hosts, localities, specimens in collections and comments on tapeworms are also included. A host-parasite list including chimaeras (1 order, 1 genus), batoids (4 orders, 10 genera), and sharks (3 orders, 5 genera) is provided. Tapeworm diversity, distribution range, and host associations are discussed. The cestodes orders Phyllobothriidea and Rhinebothriidea exhibit the highest species richness, with 13 and 12 species, respectively. Onchoproteocephalideans and rhinebothriideans have the broadest geographic distribution in the study area. Regarding hosts, arhynchobatid skates are the group most frequently associated with cestodes. However, further collecting efforts are necessary to understand whether this data reflect the real diversity and host association of these parasites or is a result of a bias in sampling.
Patients sous biomédicaments et thérapies ciblées par petites molécules : un surrisque d’infection et de forme sévère de la Covid-19 ?

Published: May 2023

Le surrisque infectieux Covid-19 potentiel des traitements immunosuppresseurs, notamment les biomédicaments et thérapies ciblées par petites molécules, nécessite d’être pris en compte pour la population des patients candidats à une cure thermale. Le Haut comité de santé publique a inclus le traitement par “biothérapie et/ou corticothérapie à dose suppressive” parmi les risques d’infection Covid-19 de forme sévère ou grave. Nous avons effectué ici une revue des études publiées jusqu’à la fin juin 2020 concernant les surrisques infectieux Covid-19 chez les patients traités par biothérapie, petites molécules, autres immunosuppresseurs et/ou corticothérapie. Avec un niveau de preuve actuel faible à intermédiaire (études observationnelles, prospectives ou rétrospectives, avec parfois comparaison à la population générale, études effectuées à partir de registre) le surrisque infectieux Covid-19 chez les patients traités par biothérapie ou thérapie ciblée par petites molécules apparait être nul ou modéré. Le surrisque d’infection Covid-19 grave (transfert en unité de soins intensifs ou décès) n’a pas été mis en évidence. Le surrisque infectieux Covid-19 semble surtout lié aux co-morbidités associées et à la corticothérapie. Le surrisque infectieux du méthotrexate reste à préciser. Si les données scientifiques publiées à ce jour ne permettent pas de conclure aujourd’hui à un surrisque avéré d’infection Covid-19 non grave ou grave chez les patients traités par biothérapie ou petites molécules la prudence nous semble néanmoins devoir continuer à s’imposer pour cette population lors de la prescription et la surveillance d’une cure thermale.
Cure thermale et gestion du risque sanitaire : aspects techniques et sanitaires
Authors: Dubourg Karine
Published: May 2023

La crise sanitaire de la Covid-19 a impacté l’activité thermale imposant des impératifs techniques et sanitaires pour la réouverture des établissements thermaux, réouverture qui s’est déroulée entre les mois de juin et de juillet 2020 pour la plupart d’entre eux. La rédaction d’un référentiel sanitaire s’intitulant “Prévention et gestion du risque sanitaire Covid-19” constituée à l’initiative du Conseil national des exploitants thermaux (Cneth) a permis aux établissements thermaux français de s’inscrire dans une démarche contrôlée en matière de sécurité sanitaire leur permettant de s’appuyer sur des pré-requis et préconisations validés, au regard des connaissances scientifiques du moment. Une compilation technique et sanitaire est présentée de manière non exhaustive, les thématiques concernant la gestion du risque Covid-19, les EPI (Equipements de protection individuelle), le zonage de l’établissement thermal et les soins dispensés ne sont pas abordés.

Introduction  : L’Hôpital Thermal de Dax est un établissement public qui propose des cures thermales conventionnées avec hospitalisation. Référencé par l’Association des Paralysés de France et labellisé SSR (Soins de Suite et de Réadaptation), l’Hôpital Thermal peut accueillir des patients atteints de handicaps et de pathologies qui ne pourraient pas être pris en charge en ambulatoire. Cette étude a pour objet de recueillir les données quantitatives et qualitatives permettant de décrire les caractéristiques des curistes admis à l’Hôpital Thermal. Méthode  : L’étude a porté sur l’année 2018. Les données sont principalement issues du Programme de médicalisation des systèmes d’information – Soins de suite et de réadaptation (PMSI-SSR) extraites par le Département d’information médicale (DIM) du Centre hospitalier Dax-Côte d’Argent. Les données concernent la démographie des curistes, leurs pathologies, leurs niveaux de dépendance, les soins thermaux qui leur ont été prodigués pendant la cure. Résultats  : 595 patients, adressés depuis toutes les régions de France, ont effectué une cure complète de 3 semaines en 2018. La moyenne d’âge est de 66,7 ans. Les femmes représentent 71,6% de l’effectif. Les curistes principalement sont atteints d’affections et traumatismes du système ostéo-articulaire (84,6 % des résumés hebdomadaires standardisés) et d’affections du système nerveux (12,8 %). Les douleurs représentent la manifestation morbide principale la plus fréquente (95,8 % des résumés hebdomadaires). Les pathologies rhumatologiques sont représentées essentiellement par l’arthrose, les douleurs articulaires multiples, les lombalgies, la fibromyalgie, la polyarthrite rhumatoïde et la spondylarthrite ankylosante. Des affections neurologiques invalidantes sont prises en charge telles que poliomyélites, hémiplégies, paraplégies, tétraplégies, paralysies cérébrales. Les données de dépendance globale montrent que celle-ci est impactée, à des degrés variables, dans 77,1 % des cas. La dépendance physique (score moyen 6,55) est plus altérée que la dépendance cognitive (score moyen 2,32). Le déplacement-locomotion est la fonction la plus impactée (score moyen de 2,64) suivie par l’habillage-toilette (score moyen de 1,53). Au total, 11 549 actes ont été pratiqués en 2018. Discussion et Conclusion  : Cette étude montre la capacité de l’Hôpital Thermal à accueillir des curistes avec des pathologies lourdes et des niveaux de dépendance importants. Les affections et traumatismes du système ostéo-articulaire et les affections neurologiques représentent ensemble plus de 99 % des curistes. C’est un établissement qui allie le thermalisme aux soins de suite et de réadaptation.
Collège des enseignants en médecine thermale. Médecine complémentaire et thermalisme
Authors: Kuntz Fabrice
Published: May 2023

Le thermalisme et le climatisme sont des thérapies traditionnelles qui utilisent les bienfaits de l’environnement sur la santé. Ce sont des interventions thérapeutiques utilisant les produits issus des ressources hydrominérales (thermalisme) et les effets du climat dans le cadre d’un séjour dans un lieu aux caractéristiques environnementales favorables (climatisme ou climatothérapie). Ces thérapies ancestrales se fondent sur une approche holistique visant à traiter la pathologie et à contribuer à l’état de santé global. Le processus thérapeutique de la cure thermale est complexe alliant les effets physiologiques de l’eau thermale et les effets psychologiques liés au symbolisme de l’eau et de la boue, la qualité de l’environnement climatique, social et humain. L’objectif principal des soins thermaux à orientation psychosomatique est de diminuer le niveau ressenti de souffrance du malade de façon durable, de permettre une diminution des médicaments consommés habituellement et d’améliorer sa qualité de vie. La cure permet de renouer avec des moments autobiographiques riches en symboles (naissance, relation à l’autre, fonction du MOI-peau) particulièrement bénéfiques pour les patients psychotiques et anxieux. L’eau lie autant qu’elle sépare. La cure thermale à orientation psychologique a pour but une prise en charge multidisciplinaire en évitant le caractère stigmatisant. Elle pourrait participer à la prise en charge des patients victimes de stress post-traumatique, en particulier dans le contexte actuel post-Covid-19.
YouTube et l’initiation politique des jeunes adultes. Quand les commentaires amorcent une pratique délibérative
Authors: Chomel Laurent
Published: May 2023

Si la démocratie a besoin que les citoyens délibèrent pour en maintenir sa vivacité, l’importance des lieux qui favorisent la délibération est primordiale. La plateforme YouTube, malgré le formatage des vidéos qu’elle abrite et la rigidité de son interface participative, semble être parfois le creuset d’une initiation politique chez les jeunes adultes. L’espace de commentaires est en effet un tiers espace où le discours politique s’exerce par une confrontation d’idées hétérogènes dont la vidéo est le point de départ. Cette implication se déploie dans une participation discursive, stimulée par une minorité de webspectateurs surinvestis. Cet article analyse la chaine YouTube #DataGueule et l’une de ses vidéos avec son corpus de commentaires, dont les résultats sont renforcés par une enquête auprès de son public.

Cet article analyse la réception d’une recommandation algorithmique inédite de films documentaires auprès d’un panel d’abonnés cinéphiles de la plateforme Tënk. Afin de proposer une alternative aux recommandations fondées sur une classification thématique, le réalisateur ou la période de production, un jeu de métadonnées a été élaboré dans le cadre de cette expérimentation afin de caractériser la grande variété des dispositifs de réalisation documentaires. L’enjeu est d’interroger les différentes manières dont les abonnés cinéphiles de la plateforme s’approprient une recommandation personnalisée de 4 documentaires dont les dispositifs de réalisation sont proches ou similaires. Pour conclure, les apports et limites de cette preuve de concept sont discutés afin d’ébaucher des pistes de réflexion pour améliorer la médiation instrumentée du cinéma documentaire.
An Undergraduate Student's Case Study on the Use of Educational Technology in Guidance
Authors: Al-Zubaidi Ali Mohammed
Published: May 2023

This study tries to show the importance of technology in modern life and how it is necessary to educate teachers by using new technology. Using different apps or modes could help the teachers or students improve themselves. Also, in this chapter, the researchers use different strategies, showing the advantages and disadvantages, to show how technology is important in daily life. The Greek words “techno” and “logos,” which translate to “science,” “word,” “learning,” and “mental condition,” respectively, are the roots of the English word technology. The phrase “educational technology” is a misnomer. Terms and synonyms used in different nations include “educational technology,” “educational equipment,” “AV resources,” and “the technology of instruction.” The technique of lecturing by teachers and memorization by students during the earliest stages of human history, when writing was unknown, was widespread throughout practically all of the world's civilizations.

Since its birth, supply chain finance (SCF) has made contributions to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, but it also faces many challenges in the development process. With the development and continuous progress of the internet and information technology, it has also opened up new ways for urban development and innovation. This article introduced the background of intelligent business model, conducted academic research and summary on the keywords of SCF and the internet of things (IOT), and then summarized urban analysis by combining AI and big data. Then it put forward the business model factor analysis of SCF and modern logistics enterprises. At the end of the article, the simulation experiment was carried out, and the experiment was summarized and discussed. The experimental results showed that the average transaction cost of the new business model was 3.5 lower than that of the traditional business model. With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology and big data technology, urban planning is also facing new opportunities and challenges.
Is Digital Game-Based Learning Possible in Mathematics Classrooms?

Published: May 2023

The literature reports that while digital educational games are used in the elementary classroom, they are rarely, if ever, used in the upper secondary mathematics classroom. In order to investigate this situation, a survey was conducted to determine what upper secondary school mathematics teachers think about digital games and what obstacles and limitations they perceive in using DGBL as a teaching approach. The results indicate that mathematics teachers view digital games as a useful teaching tool; however, the lack of knowledge about teaching with digital games and shortage of appropriate games for teaching upper secondary mathematics seems to discourage them from using them as a main teaching tool. These findings imply that professional development should be designed with a focus on teacher training. Furthermore, the development of constructionist-based games should be considered, where games are based on meaning-making rather than practicing mathematical content, as has previously been the case.
