The effect of arsenic on the binding of metronidazole (an anti-amoebic agent) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by equilibrium dialysis (ED) method in order to justify the nature of binding capability of the drug and arsenic to BSA. There was decrease in metronidazole concentration due to addition of arsenic. But the free metronidazole concentration was increased with increasing the metronidazole concentration when only the BSA was present. The result obtained when no arsenic was added the free concentration of metronidazole was 41% whereas this release was only 7% when arsenic was added with an increasing concentration from 0.5x10-5 to 10x10-5M. But the free concentration of metronidazole was 36% to 71% when only metronidazole was added to BSA from 0.5x10-5 M to12x10-5M. This result suggests that in presence of arsenic, metronidazole shows a greater binding to BSA and results in a decreased serum drug concentration. It could be suggested that in the presence of arsenic, metronidazole may form complex with arsenic, arsenic may increases the binding affinity to its sites or may form complex to BSA and metronidazole.

METAMORPHOSIS OF CIVIC SPACES IN A THIRD WORLD METROPOLIS: A CASE OF DHAKA CITY
Authors: Hasan M. , Mowla Q.A. , Mallick F. , Alam M.A.
Published: October 2022

In the Third World, the civic spaces are undergoing rapid changes due to population explosion and fast development trend. Some civic spaces are flourishing while some are declining. As the social, physical and psychological needs of people vary from place to place, the character of civic space or image of an urban area also vary from region to region. There is also great variation in the quality of civic spaces between the Third World Cities. Considerations of such variations and an understanding of the local context are therefore essential for an urban designer in a developing metropolis. With this view in mind, this paper investigated the civic spaces of Dhaka and their evolution pattern. This paper studied selected eight important civic spaces of Dhaka City e.g. Lalbagh Fort, Central Martyr’s Monument, National Parliament Building Complex, Dhanmondi Lake, Crescent Lake, Book Fair at Bangla Academy, Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) of Dhaka University and the City Embankment for Dhaka. It is found that Dhaka has unique character of civic spaces created by their space quality, amenity, accessibility, man made and natural elements, and the social attitude of the people. It is also found that the proximity of a civic space, the variety of activities, legibility, intimacy, and permeability are the essential quality of the vibrant civic spaces of Dhaka.
An Affective, Formative and Data-Driven Feedback Intervention in Teacher Education
Authors: Mendelson Eric , Piro Jody S.
Published: October 2022

Educators and researchers have long contemplated the most effective ways to provide feedback to students, to build sustainable feedback practices, and to establish feedback literacy. While a considerable amount of research, theory, and practical approaches exist to support the effect of formative feedback practices, less research exists on the impact of affective elements related to feedback. This study set out to explore pre-service teachers’ perceptions of a feedback intervention that included affective, formative, and data-driven aspects. A mixed-reality simulation environment was selected as the context for the study, and eight pre-service teachers performing in the simulation were selected as participants. This qualitative multicase study included three rounds of simulation observations, a feedback intervention, and interviews. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis framework. Findings showed that the application of confirmation, empathy, and reciprocity in the feedback intervention prompted the development of helping relationships that promoted personal growth. Humanism became a useful framework for these emergent findings. In addition, findings included participants’ preferences for formative feedback over data-feedback, particularly formative feedback that introduced engaging language, purposeful organization, and details and examples. Lastly, findings revealed participants’ perceived personal growth in feedback literacy, especially in managing emotions and committing to the feedback process.

Authors: Al-Muqbil Norah Saleh Mohamed
Published: October 2022

The study examined the impact of teaching a unit based on the Theory of Successful Intelligence and Augmented Reality in Biology on developing lateral thinking and science fiction among high school students in Al-Saih City, Saudi Arabia. To verify the research experience's effect, a quasi-experimental design, the "Lateral Thinking Test," and the "Science Fiction Scale" were used. The research sample included 34 experimental and 37 control students (all high school students). The research tool used to examine both groups' lateral thinking contains 24 questions on concepts, alternatives, linkages, and ideas. Science fiction skills include alertness, flexibility, imagery, daydreaming, retreating from reality, and sustaining direction. The results demonstrated a statistically significant difference (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental and control groups for each lateral thinking skill and the lateral thinking test as a whole, in favor of the experimental group. Also, teaching a unit based on the Theory of Successful Intelligence and Applications of Augmented Reality in biology helps develop lateral thinking and science fiction. The research advocated applying the notion of Successful Intelligence and Augmented reality in high school, based on the study's results, to improve educational outcomes such as "lateral thinking" and "science fiction".

The study implemented a content analysis checklist that was based on the six critical thinking skills which were agreed upon by a group of international critical thinking experts and declared in the Delphi Report that was published by the American Philosophical Association (APA). The two textbooks of grade four, second semester (4B) beside the Teacher’s Book, were utilized as the sample of this analysis. Results of the study showed a low level of critical thinking skills integrated into the tasks of these textbooks as these tasks made up only (35.55%) of all the tasks in the textbooks. In addition, the self-examination subskill was highly represented compared with the other critical thinking subskills (20. 81%). Moreover, results showed that four of the critical thinking subskills (detecting arguments, analyzing arguments, presenting arguments, and self-correction) were absent from the tasks of both textbooks. Based on these findings several implications were addressed.

The Decentralization and Religious Management Policy in Radical-Democratic Discourse
Authors: Triguswinri Krisnaldo , Hadita Cynthia
Published: October 2022

This article discusses the authority to carry out autonomous management of religious administrative policies that are denied by the central government of Indonesia where the regional government has no right to give recognition of a religion or belief embraced by the local community. The government only recognizes six administratively registered religions based on the population records. Those are Islam, Catholicism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism. The method used in this paper is normative juridical legal researhc. Whereas in the anthropological tradition of the local communities’ spiritual beliefs, Indonesia has 187 local beliefs with its unofficial number of trustees of 20 million people. Therefore, the religious beliefs embraced by the residents are ignored in public services and bureaucratic practices. Hence, the logical consequences that have implications for the adherents of local religious beliefs are the exclusion of basic rights as citizens, inequality before the law and government, discrimination in public services, restrictions on freedom of worship and tradition, being the recipients of racism, and forms of intolerance in society. This article will focus on conducting empirical-theoretical analysis of decentralization, religious administration policies, and relation to pluralist democratic discourse.

The recent data disclosed that more than 50 percent of the countries worldwide and most of the ASEAN countries scored below average in the Science subjects. Furthermore, due to the pandemic, online or e-learning is the most effective way to continue the teaching and learning process. This is a quantitative study that used a descriptive-correlational design with route analysis to handle data. This study investigated the association between four interrelated variables: engagement to online learning (ETOL), self-regulated learning (SRL), mental well-being (MWB), and academic performance (AP) in science subjects. Stratified random sampling was used to choose grade 12 STEM students from schools in Davao del Norte, Philippines. Data gathered were treated using Pearson-r, mean, structural equation modelling, and multiple regression analysis. Findings revealed that only SRL turned out to be a statistically significant predictor of AP in Science. More so, as to the best fit model, both SRL and MWB have a direct influence on AP, but ETOL has a large indirect effect on AP through SRL and MWB. Thus, students should exercise greater self-regulation. Educators must highlight students’ self-regulated learning skills in online learning.

This study aimed to determine the significant relationship between level of parental involvement in modular distance learning and kindergarten’s holistic development based on the perception of kindergarten parents amidst the pandemic. This research used descriptive correlational research with 150 selected Kindergarten parents in Bukal Sur Elementary School, Candelaria West District as respondents. It was conducted during the 4th quarter of SY 2021-2022. Results revealed that majority are married female, 30-34 years old, with high school background and below P5,000 income. They perceived parenting and learning at home very satisfactory, while collaborating, decision making, volunteering, and communicating are satisfactory. All indicators of holistic development including physical, intellectual, and emotional are very high. All variables of parental involvement are significantly interrelated to their physical, intellectual, and emotional development. When grouped according to age, sex, civil status, and monthly income, no significant differences were noted. Nevertheless, educational attainment of the respondents showed significant difference when used as a grouping factor. Keywords: Parental involvement, Modular Distance Learning, Holistic Development

Published: October 2022

An improved groundnut oil kneader was fabricated and used to extract oil from Maibargo groundnut seeds. A sample of groundnut oil extracted from the same variety was collected from local processors using the conventional groundnut oil kneader in a rural community in Kano state. The physicochemical properties of the two samples were investigated. Iodine value was significantly higher at (p < 0.05) in groundnut oil extracted from an improved kneader (103.01 ± 0.006 g/100g) when compared to that one collected from the local processor (98.31 ± 0.061). The moisture content (%) of the oil from the local processor was significantly higher (0.12 ± 0.006) compared to kneader extracted oil (0.02 ± 0.00). The Acid value in the oil collected from the local processor was significantly higher (12.12 ± 0.013) than the oil extracted with an improved kneader (2.24 ± 0.061). There was no significant difference at (p < 0.05) in the specific gravity of the two groundnut oil samples, but was differ (p < 0.05) in the coliform count of the kneader extracted oil (8 x 102) and local oil processor (1.5 x 104). The highest peroxide values were observed in the oil extracted by a local processor (21.71 ± 0.013 meq O2/kg) while the lowest was observed in the groundnut oil extracted with improved kneader (6.73 ± 0.011 meq O2/kg). The aerobic plate count of the groundnut oil extracted from an improved kneader was significantly lower (1.4 x 105) than that of a local groundnut oil processor (1.8 x 106). Relevant institutions should engage in necessary awareness to sensitize the local groundnut oil processors on the importance of quality groundnut oil production.

Published: October 2022

Cross-linked polymer gel has been widely applied in profile control and water plugging due to its effective cost, wide suitability, excellent performance, and flexible gelation time. Previous research mainly focused on the bottle tests, reaction kinetics, and rheological properties of the gels, but the works of literature about the in situ gelations of gel placement in the porous media are relatively few. The study of the in-situ gelation behavior of gel systems is widely summarized in this paper, and the research tendency is proposed. The important practical questions, including the accurate lateral distance of gel placement, the variation of gel properties, and the injection pressure profile in the process of gel injection, should be resolved by laboratory and numerical research to enhance gel treatment success rate.
Involving patients and consumers in Swissmedic’s regulatory processes: From information sharing to participation
Authors: Zenhäusern Gabriela , Jaggi Lukas
Published: October 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the value of public engagement as a way of building confidence in innovative treatments, diagnostics, and vaccines for coronavirus-induced disease that have been brought to market readiness within a very short space of time. Developing public trust and engagement extends beyond providing transparent research results and evidence-based information to creating a framework for a dialogue that includes patients’ perspectives. Whereas frameworks exist in the US, the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany, systematic patient involvement in Switzerland’s healthcare system is still taking root. Even though Swiss policymakers acknowledge the importance of stakeholder involvement in healthcare, tangible, overarching forms and systems of participation are only gradually being rolled out. Swissmedic, the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products, is also tackling the issue of how to integrate patients and the public into its regulatory processes. As it responds to this issue, Swissmedic aims to not only adopt current approaches but also actively create solutions that give patients a voice and incorporate their experiences and concerns into regulatory processes wherever possible.
