VAST: A New Ball Game
Authors: Tepe Peter
Published: March 2022

The VAST is considered on two levels: On level 1, it is a training of aesthetic sensitivity, which is addressed to those who share Goetz’s guiding principle of balance and do not claim scientific standards for the test procedure. On level 2 it is examined how the VAST could be transformed into a test that meets scientific requirements; for this, specific suggestions are made.

Paul Diestel – Forms of Nature
Authors: Daum Irene
Published: March 2022

In his sculptures, Paul Diestel deals with transformation processes of plants and animals, which are based on his nature observations. He uses materials from nature (primarily wood) and treats them with other materials found in nature, such as earth or ash. This creates sustainable objects that integrate into the cycle of nature.
Icy Hieroglyphics: Wilson Bentley’s Snow Crystals
Authors: Hemkendreis Anne
Published: March 2022

The US-American Wilson A. Bentley is today considered one of the first atmospheric scientists. His photomicrographs of ice crystals testify to an intensive examination of the physical dimension of observing nature and the impossibility of subject-independent research. As early examples of so-called SciArt, Bentley’s photomicrographs are evidence of a historically close connection between art and science. According to the w/k classification, Bentley’s photomicrographs fall into the category of Art-Related Scientists. While Bentley himself can be described as an aesthetically proceeding meteorologist, his photographs are ambiguous threshold phenomena. They demonstrate the importance of aesthetics in the communication of scientific knowledge.
Debate on Artistic Research 1. Summary
Authors: Tepe Peter
Published: March 2022

This article provides an in-depth commentary on Henk Borgdorff’s pivotal essay The Debate on Research in the Arts. The central thesis is that research in the arts fulfils the criteria of independent scientific research. But this strong thesis cannot be sufficiently substantiated and should therefore be replaced by a less forceful claim. The full commentary has been published in Mythos-Magazin and is available here.
Markus Schrenk’s True Copy
Authors: Frenzel Sonja
Published: March 2022

A work of art like Markus Schrenk’s True Copy adds a provocation to the heated debates about copyright: We are confronted with an aesthetic game that raises legal and ethical as well as ontological and epistemological questions about truth and originality. What is a copy? When is a copy a true copy? And what is the relationship between the original and the copy? This contribution tackles these questions against a philosophical and cultural background. Like True Copy itself, the text is less intended to provide answers than to provide food for thought.

Experience matters: Bridging the gap between experience- and functionality-driven design in technology-enhanced learning
Authors: Rohles Björn , Koenig Vincent , Fischbach Antoine , Amadieu Franck
Published: March 2022

With the growing importance of digital technologies in learning and assessment, it is important to consider user experience (UX) to ensure that tools provide useful functionalities for learning without overwhelming users, to motivate users and ensure that they have positive learning experiences, and to allow users to realize their potential with the help of technology. Building on a case study of concept mapping for technology-enhanced learning, we combined experience-driven and functionality-driven approaches in co-design sessions in four school classes (67 students). We investigated the anticipated experiences that students imagined as well as the functionalities and characteristics they expected. We found that combining experience-driven and functionality-driven approaches is a valuable method for improving technology-enhanced learning.
Technology-Enhanced Learning for Student Agency in Higher Education: a Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Marín Victoria I. , de Benito Bárbara , Darder Antònia
Published: March 2022

From an educational perspective, student agency is a construct that refers to external and internal factors involved in taking responsibility for learning and the possibility of making choices in learning. Although there are studies that back the idea of using educational technologies to support the development of student agency in higher education, there is still a lack of frameworks that relate student agency with technology-enhanced learning. In this study we present a systematic literature review addressing this gap, with emphasis on educational sciences. The results from the mapping of 29 studies show a focus on the micro level of learning design and clear relationships with other concepts, such as ownership of learning or self-regulated learning. The analysis of the results enabled us to develop an own model approach connecting student agency and technology-enhanced learning. Future work will involve iterative phases of revision and validation of the developed model through empirical studies.
Resources and Opportunities for Agency in PLE-Related Pedagogical Designs
Authors: Castañeda Linda , Tur Gemma
Published: March 2022

Personal Learning Environments as a learning approach are strongly connected to idea of the development of the conditions and resources for fostering the learners' enacting of agency. In this study, some PLE-related pedagogical designs have been analysed in light of how they implement resources and opportunities for students to practise/enact their individual, relational, and contextual agency. The final sample includes the most cited PLE-related pedagogical experiences in the last decade in which the PLE concept is explicitly mentioned. Conclusions remark on the importance of going further in the implementation of more relational resources, as well as the contextual opportunities that give students more open choices to help them to develop a deeper sense of agency and enact it as a way for managing and enriching their PLE.
Fostering psychological ownership in MOOC through a self-regulation design layer
Authors: Barberà Elena , Garcia Iolanda , Fabián Maina Marcelo
Published: March 2022

The paper presents the design of a self-regulated learning support layer which focuses on fostering learning agency awareness and student ownership in MOOC as quality deep learning indicators. Rooted in self-regulated learning ownership provides remarkable learning factors such as a sense of belongingness, increased commitment and perception of self-efficacy. These qualities are rather scarce in MOOC, as shown by the predominant techno-pedagogical design of these courses. The self-regulation support layer was developed in two phases: first, a literature review on the field and the analysis of several MOOC provided relevant insights for the theoretical approach of the layer and, second, different types of prompts in the form of self-questions were contextualized and placed throughout an existing MOOC with the involvement of researchers, teachers and MOOC content developers. Finally, in order to refine the design and include elements to enhance a more psychological-ownership-oriented approach, interviews and a co-design workshop were carried out with MOOC participants. Some of the contributions made by the different actors are presented and so is the layer proposal. “Regulation activators” which act as a link between self-regulation and psychological ownership approaches are inferred, and correspondent “learning design effects” are identified to be incorporated into MOOC to promote learning ownership.
The role of learner control and psychological ownership for self-regulated learning in technology-enhanced learning designs
Authors: Buchem Ilona , Tur Gemma , Hoelterhof Tobias
Published: March 2022

Theory and research show that psychological ownership has an important impact on how individuals engage, react to change and invest themselves into activities. Drawing on the theory of psychological ownership and self-regulated learning, this study explores the role of psychological ownership for selfregulated learning in context of technology-enhanced learning in four courses at two universities in Germany and Spain. We employ a research model which explains the route from perceived control of the learning environment to psychological ownership and from psychological ownership to self-regulated learning, drawing on previous research in Personal Learning Environments. We examine differences in learning designs and explore how these may be related to different perceptions of control and ownership. This study helps to apply and extend the theory of psychological ownership to the field of technology-enhanced learning with focus on e-portfolio practices in higher education while providing practical insights for creating and implementing learning designs which promote learner control, ownership and self-regulated learning.
Designing personalised learning support for K12 education
Authors: Rajagopal Kamakshi , Van Schoors Rani , Vanbecelaere Stefanie , de Bie Lien , Depaepe Fien
Published: March 2022

Digital personalised learning is on the agenda in national educational policy programmes across the world. In Flanders, (Belgium), it is the central goal of the i-Learn programme. One of the educational challenges of this form of learning is to develop pupils with a sense of ownership over their learning. As part of the i-Learn programme, a user-friendly portal is being developed to give pupils and teachers in primary and secondary schools in Flanders access to tools supporting personalized learning. Using educational design research [1], this article presents the first iterative loop in the design of the i-Learn portal. This study gives insight into teacher perceptions on the design of a portal supporting personalised learning, the design conjectures of the i-Learn portal and an evaluation framework for the pilot phase on teacher and learner control, motivation and psychological ownership.

The study found that users prefer a simple and pleasing design with an emphasis on visual representation, and a straight forward and intuitive navigation to minimize cognitive load, Further study should explore the effectiveness of the integration of UCD for the Cultural Heritage Information System from the design stage to the evaluation stage.
The Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Italian Learning Ecosystems: the School Teachers’ Perspective at the steady state
Authors: Giovannella Carlo , Passarelli Marcello , Persico Donatella
Published: March 2022

This study is one of the first investigations conducted within the Italian school system to capture teachers’ perspective, experiences and perceptions about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on school education. It was performed two months after the beginning of lockdown, when online teaching and learning processes were fully in place and had reached a steady state. The paper reports a descriptive analysis together with a network analysis, and the search for causal relationships among the variables that have been investigated. Generally, respondents reported that the reactions of educational institutions and individual teachers were satisfactory, preventing the collapse of the education system in spite of loss of contact with 6-10% of the student population and a significant teacher workload increase that posed individual time management challenges. Although teachers tended to adopt teaching strategies that reproduced standard classroom dynamics, the possibility of operating in this comfort zone generated a positive feeling about using technologies, a perception of increased digital skills mastery and a change in mindset about educational processes. In turn, this led to an increase in the perceived sustainability of online education, with about a third of the teachers expressing the wish to adopt a blended configuration for future teaching activities. Almost all participants recognized the significance of a digital pedagogy and the need to include it in the training curricula to prepare future teachers.
How non-designers understand the architecture design project: a comparative study using immersive virtual reality
Authors: Eloy Sara , Serpa Flávio
Published: March 2022

This study focusses on how people who are not familiar with the traditional methods used to represent architecture understand architecture design projects. The main objective of the study was to assess the client’s level of comprehension of a design project presented using traditional representation methods in comparison with a method based on the use of immersive virtual reality. Two experiments were conducted, involving architects, design projects and real clients. In both experiments an architecture design project was presented using two different methods: i) the traditional method, ii) the immersive method, using virtual reality, viewed by means of a Head Mounted Display. The results were used to address the questions posed during the study regarding comprehension of architecture design projects. They confirmed the hypothesis that individuals who are not familiar with architectural representations have a better and more accurate perception of a project after viewing it using immersive virtual reality rather than looking at technical drawings, renders and scale models.
An interactive learning environment to empower engagement in Mathematics
Authors: Barana Alice , Marchisio Marina
Published: March 2022

This paper is focused on understanding if the use of interactive activities based on problem solving and automatic formative assessment in a blended learning environment can promote the development of engagement in Mathematics for students of grade 8. In this context, engagement is characterized as a multidimensional construct composed of an emotional component, a cognitive component and a behavioral one. The discussion is based on the results of a didactic experimentation conducted with 299 students of grade 8 who, during one entire school year, had access to an online platform rich in interactive learning materials used in blended modality. Through an initial and a final questionnaire, evolutions in their engagement levels were measured. We found that the initially most disengaged students and those coming from lowest social classes are those who mainly benefitted of the interactive activities in order to improve their engagement levels.
Emergency Remote Teaching Scenarios, Struggles and Soundboxes: A Case Study on Malaysian Teachers
Authors: Chuah Kee-Man , Mohamad Fitri Suraya
Published: March 2022

The shift to emergency remote teaching has created a ripple effect in education across the globe. Although efforts to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic can be lauded, much remains unknown in terms of the challenges that teachers have gone through in fulfilling their roles during emergency remote teaching. The study is a necessary step to identify and determine how teachers articulate their perspectives as an educator during emergency remote teaching. A case study on a group of trained graduate teachers in Malaysia was conducted to investigate strategies and struggles they faced in the emergency remote teaching period through a survey and a thematic analysis of narratives they provided. Findings show that though respondents were equipped with pedagogical knowledge in integrating technology, they were unable to fully utilise what they have learned in their teacher training programme during emergency remote teaching due to lack of administrative support from school and poor infrastructure accessibility. Their narratives also suggested a pertinent need for future study to investigate the synergy between parents, schools and teachers in working cohesively to ensure learning is supported effectively at home and in school especially during emergency remote teaching.
Distance learning during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic: Examining K-12 students’ and parents’ experiences and perspectives
Authors: Conan Simpson Jenna
Published: March 2022

This study examines K-12 students and parents in the United States’ experiences and challenges during the sudden shift to distance learning during the spring of 2020. The study also aims to analyze what can be done to better educate students in the case of continued distance learning during the COVID-19 crisis and during future emergencies. The study was conducted with an online survey of K-12 students and parents in the United States, and both qualitative and quantitative data was collected. However, the results should be interpreted with caution, as it was a smaller study that is not a representative sample of the population. The study results show that a variety of strategies were utilized to teach students online, and that from the perspective of the participants both successful and unsuccessful methods were utilized.
Experiencing the Transition to Remote Teaching and Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Tsai Chun-Hua , Romera Rodriguez Guillermo , Li Na , Robert Jenay , Serpi Alex , Carroll John M.
Published: March 2022

The sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted universities around the world. In the two weeks following a shelter-in-place order, all the actors of the educational system were forced to transition to remote education. This shift required a new reliance upon technologies that these individuals might never have adopted at all, often with significant difficulties. In this paper, we present a qualitative study on a university-wide survey dataset describing student and faculty experiences of abruptly transitioning to remote teaching and learning during the spring 2020 semester at the Pennsylvania State University. We performed an inductive thematic analysis to identify the challenges and opportunities that arose during the transition. Our findings contribute to building better tools, curriculum, and supports for remote education, particularly during an unexpected crisis.
Explaining the adoption of technology-based design of higher education during and after COVID 19 period from a developing country perspective
Authors: Rokibul Kabir Mohammad , Islam Md. Aminul , Afroz Deena Shahera
Published: March 2022

COVID 19 has a severe impact in every sphere of life, and education is not an exception to this. Hence, the education sector in developing countries like Bangladesh needs a quick transformation from traditional to technology-based distance learning. The factors influencing online education adoption are explained in this research with a Structural Equation Model (SEM). A survey of 405 students from the universities across Bangladesh revealed that faculty readiness, student readiness, and economic solvency positively impact the students' intention to adopt a technology-based design of higher education. Simultaneously, the online assessment system is a challenge for the students having a negative effect on their intention to adopt technology-based learning. Again, students' intention to adopt technology is substantial in explaining the adoption of online classes by them. The study suggests combining the classroom model with the e-learning model to create a cohesive learning system in the long run. Thus, the model proposed in this research has a crucial implication, which recommends the policymakers to consider it to design a new form of technology-based education in Bangladesh.
The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic seen through the lens of the Italian university teachers and the comparison with school teachers’ perspective
Authors: Giovannella Carlo , Passarelli Marcello
Published: March 2022

In this paper, we report one of the first investigations conducted at the National level with university teachers, with the aim to capture their perceptions about the capability of the learning ecosystems to react to the lockdown imposed by the pandemic and the recourse to on-line learning. The study, conducted about two months after the beginning of the lock-down, shows that: a) learning ecosystems reacted promptly and in a satisfactory manner to assure the didactic continuity at both the systemic and individual level; b) the teaching activities were mainly confined to transmissive ex-cathedra lectures in the attempt to reproduce standard university dynamics; c) the working load increased with respect to face-to-face activities; d) the intention to use on-line learning in the future is driven by preconceptions rather than experiences and by the capability to manage one’s own time. The comparison with the outcomes of a similar study conducted with school teachers shows that the latter adopt a broader spectrum of didactic activities (although they still tend to remain in their comfort zone), experienced a heavier increase of the working load, and were more influenced by the situation they experienced. Although both teachers categories recognized the relevance of digital pedagogy, in the case of school teachers - as shown by the causal structure of the variables considered in our studies - it should be urgently included in teacher education curricula, while in the case of the university teachers it appears to be a possible route to support integration of on-line activities with standard face-to-face ones.
A tool for designing hybrid learning contexts in higher education
Authors: Manciaracina Andrea
Published: March 2022

This paper investigates the opportunities offered by an instructional tool, built to help teachers in the creation of hybrid teaching activities in post-pandemic learning contexts. Teachers will design new hybrid contexts by connecting physical space, digital space, innovative pedagogical approaches and user needs. The starting points are the technical skills acquired by teachers during the period of forced distance learning, the new role of directors and designers of teaching activities assumed by teachers in active learning approaches and the need for new innovative learning environments able to relate the human and technological components. The tool, built within a PhD research, has been tested with the teachers of Politecnico di Milano in co-design and autonomous activities.

Représentations et fonctions de l’objet-livre dans les enluminures du Paradis du ms Yates Thompson 36
Authors: Puma Giulia
Published: March 2022

Caractéristique propre au Paradis enluminé par Giovanni di Paolo, absente des enluminures de l’Enfer et du Purgatoire, la représentation de l’objet livre revient dans pas moins de dix enluminures distribuées entre les chants 5 et 28 du Paradis. L’enquête porte sur ce processus de mise en abyme et en démontre le potentiel hexégétique. Le volume, souvent les volumes (une seule enluminure peut contenir jusqu’à sept livres représentés), correspondent aux textes (théologiques, juridiques) mentionnés par Dante dans les vers du grand poème. Toujours chargés de connotations positives, les manuscrits véhiculent le savoir et la sagesse morale promus par Dante. Ils sont en outre un objet de transition, culturelle et esthétique : narrativement reliés aux figures médiévales (Justinien, Denys, Isidore, …), ils exaltent l’appréciation du manuscrit typique de l’humanisme et de la Bibliothèque Alphonsine. En somme, concentrer le regard et l’analyse sur la présence de l’objet livre au sein des enluminures, elles-mêmes insérées dans le manuscrit Yates Thompson 36, permet tout à la fois de saisir l’« intelligence picturale » du peintre et la bibliophilie du commanditaire.
mondo sub specie paradisi nelle miniature di Giovanni di Paolo per la Commedia Yates-Thompson.
Authors: Ciccuto Marcello
Published: March 2022

Con questo saggio intendo mettere in luce le più tipiche componenti dell'immaginazione visionaria del pittore senese Giovanni di Paolo, orientate a una costruzione narrativa della sua illustrazione delParadiso nel ms. Yates-Thompson 36 che, puntando soprattutto su elementi di immaterialità e astrazione anti-naturalistica, definisce una lettura sempre spiritualizzata degli episodi della cantica: i termini sono quelli di un'evasione lirica di fondo, che fa vedere l'aver posto il pittore sub specie paradisi l'intero percorso suo di resa della visione dantesca dell'aldilà.
Desarrollo, validación y evaluación de un cuestionario de opciones múltiples para identificar y caracterizar las visiones sobre la naturaleza de la ciencia de profesores en formación
Authors: Marín Martínez Nicolás , Benarroch Benarroch Alicia
Published: March 2022

En este trabajo se muestra el diseño de un cuestionario de opciones múltiples (COMVDC) para evaluar creencias sobre el conocimiento de ciencias en el contexto de la formación de futuros profesores de secundaria. El proceso seguido ha implicado varios años de trabajo y ha conducido a un cuestionario con ventajas e inconvenientes respecto a otros instrumentos con objetivos similares. La característica más destacada de este proceso es que ha posibilitado la discriminación de ítems de baja calidad frente a otros de media y alta, convirtiéndose por tanto en un proceso de autocorrección. Se discute la validez y la fiabilidad del cuestionario en el estado que se presenta y se extraen conclusiones referidas a sus resultados y sus posibilidades para ser introducido como herramienta tanto de evaluación como de enseñanza en la formación de futuros profesores de ciencias.
Una aproximación a las matemáticas en el bachillerato. ¿Qué se pretende que aprendan los alumnos?
Authors: Sánchez Maria Victoria , García María Mercedes , Escudero Isabel , Gavilán José María , Sanchez-Matamoros Gloria
Published: March 2022

En este artículo nos hemos planteado indagar sobre la forma en la que se presentan los metaconceptos definir, probar y modelar en los textos escolares, considerados estos últimos como un contexto en el que «mirar» unos significados que, de alguna manera, van a intervenir en lo que aprenden los estudiantes. Nos centramos, en primer lugar, en la elaboración de un marco común que fije unas variables que permitan caracterizar dichos metaconceptos. En segundo lugar, presentaremos algunos resultados, como son la potenciación de la adquisición de un vocabulario básico, la relativa importancia de probar, y la poca importancia del metaconcepto modelar, que se vincula a la resolución de problemas concretos y aplicados.
Fundamentación teórica y diseño de una unidad didáctica para la enseñanza del modelo ser vivo en la escuela primaria
Authors: Gómez Galindo Alma Adriana , Sanmartí Puig Neus , Pujol Rosa Maria
Published: March 2022

En este artículo se fundamenta teóricamente una unidad didáctica, dirigida a estudiantes de primaria, donde se busca interpretar qué sucede con los seres vivos cuando hay un incendio forestal. Dicha fundamentación se sustenta en tres aspectos: a) la construcción del modelo teórico escolar de ser vivo en el marco de una ciencia escolar; b) tres escalas de observación en el modelo y su uso como herramienta conceptual para transitar del fenómeno a la interpretación teórica y c) la utilización de una maqueta dinámica como mediador didáctico que permitiera negociar las representaciones de los escolares acerca del fenómeno. Se presenta la concreción del diseño de la unidad didáctica llevada al aula y se reflexiona sobre la enseñanza de tres modelos interrelacionados: ser vivo-célula, ser vivo-organismo y ser vivo-ecosistema.

Published: March 2022

Software development organizations are seeking to add quality to their products. Testing processes are strategic elements to manage projects and product quality. However, advances in technology and the emergence of increasingly critical applications make testing a complex task and large volumes of information are generated. In fact, software testing is a knowledge intensive process. Because of this, these organizations have shown a growing interest in Knowledge Management (KM) programs, which in turn support the improvement of testing procedures. KM emerges as a means to manage testing knowledge, and, consequently, to improve software quality. However, there are only a few KM solutions supporting software testing. This paper reports experiences from the development of an approach, called Ontology-based Testing Knowledge Management (OntoT-KM), that aims to assist in launching KM initiatives in the software testing domain with the support of Knowledge Management Systems (KMSs).  OntoT-KM provides a process guiding how to start applying KM in software testing. OntoT-KM is based on the findings of a systematic mapping on KM in software testing and the results of a survey with testing practitioners. Moreover, OntoT-KM considers the conceptualization established by a Reference Ontology on Software Testing (ROoST). As a proof of concept, OntoT-KM was applied to develop a KMS called Testing KM Portal (TKMP), which was evaluated in terms of usefulness, usability, and functional correctness. Results show that the developed KMS from OntoT-KM is a potential system for managing knowledge in software testing, so, the approach can guide KM initiatives in software testing.

Authors: Schwarzenegger Christian
Published: March 2022

Dieser Beitrag diskutiert die Bedeutung von Grenzen in der Entwicklungsgeschichte des Journalismus. Dabei steht die Frage im Zentrum, inwiefern sich an Grenzverschiebungen Wendepunkte der Journalismusgeschichte festmachen lassen und ob die Neuziehung von Grenzen als Indikator für Wandel und Innovation im Journalismus gesehen werden kann. Hierzu wird zunächst reflektiert, mit welchen Herausforderungen es einhergeht, ein Konzept oder ein Verständnis von Journalismus in verschiedenen Zeiten und unter wechselnden Bedingungen anzuwenden. Anschließend werden vier wiederkehrend aktualisierte Grenzdebatten zum Journalismus entlang historischer Beispiele reflektiert: Grenzen des Machbaren, Grenzen der Zugehörigkeit, Grenzen der Zuständigkeit und Grenzen des Zulässigen.
Einfluss des Unionsrechts auf bilaterale Übereinkünfte der Mitgliedstaaten – Überblick unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der europarechtsbezogenen Rechtsprechung des deutschen Bundessozialgerichts

Das Unionsrecht sowie die Rechtsfortbildung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs üben einen enormen Einfluss auf das nationale Sozialrecht aus, das nicht unabhängig davon betrachtet werden kann und darf. Die internationalen Fallkonstellationen gewinnen an Bedeutung mit fortschreitender Integration der europäischen Sozialversicherungssysteme. Es ist auch die Auslegung des Unionsrechts durch nationale Gerichte, die sich neben der einschlägigen Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs immerwährender Bedeutung erfreut und nicht zuletzt durch die Verwaltungspraxis zu beachten ist. Einen Überblick zu behalten ist komplex, aber unabdingbar.

Amidst growing concerns for environmental degradation by anthropologic activities and use of non-biodegradable materials for industrial and household purposes, a focus on natural polymeric materials offers the veritable prospects for future survival. Although some synthetic polymers are biodegradable, the process of production that is usually non-green adds to environmental pollution. Natural polymers are naturally occurring organic molecules such as cellulose, starch, glycoproteins and proteins. They are mostly obtained from plant sources, but are also produced in animal and microorganisms. One of the most abundant natural polymers of multidimensional and multifaceted application is starch. Starch is used across wide-range applications spanning engineering, food and beverages, textile, chemical, pharmaceuticals and health, etc. This is because it can readily be modified into products of desired physicochemical characteristics, thus making starch a potential tool for industrial and economic revolution. The global trade balance for starch and derived products is about $1.12 trillion, presenting a huge opportunity for more investment in starch production. Africa’s negative starch trade balance of about $1.27 trillion makes it a potential investment destination for starch production. This chapter discusses the use of starch in various industrial sectors, its potentials for sustainable economic development and as a veritable natural polymer for economic revolution.

Background: Airway management is an important skill for emergency physicians, and confirmation of correct endotracheal tube (ETT) placement is a crucial component of airway management. Objectives: Due to the occurrence of incorrect ETT positioning in emergency departments, the present study aimed to compare the diagnostic sensitivity of ultrasound using suprasternal and subxiphoid methods for confirming the correct placement of ETT compared to capnography. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted by examining patients requiring intubation. Ultrasound was performed by two independent emergency medical assistants using two suprasternal and subxiphoid methods to confirm correct ETT placement; the results were then interpreted. To observe the tube passage through the vocal cords, capnography and lung auscultation were applied as the gold standards, and the results of two ultrasound methods were compared. Results: A total of 66 patients, who were intubated in the emergency department, participated in this study. The positive and negative predictive values, sensitivity, and specificity of supernatural ultrasound were 96.72%, 80%, 98.33%, and 66.67%, respectively. Also, positive and negative predictive values, sensitivity, and specificity of subxiphoid ultrasound were 97.95%, 29.41%, 80%, and 83.33%, respectively. The diagnostic odds ratios of suprasternal and subxiphoid ultrasounds were 1.026 and 1.024 compared to capnography, respectively. Conclusions: Ultrasonography using the suprasternal method was feasible. Considering the high sensitivity and specificity of this method in confirming correct ETT placement, it produced reliable results. Overall, this modality can be used as one of the main methods to verify correct ETT placement in emergency departments.

Background: Shame and self-criticism are two variables that refer to negative self-assessment. Such negative self-assessments cause unpleasant emotions, which are among the known factors involved in drug abuse and relapse. Objectives: This study aimed to compare mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) group therapy and treatment as usual (TAU) in terms of their effect on shame and self-criticism in individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). Patients and Methods: The current quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest and follow-up design was conducted on 36 patients who met the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-5) criteria for OUD. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received a combination of MBRP group therapy and TAU, and the other group was treated only by TAU. The participants filled out the Other as Shamer Scale and the Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale in the pretest, posttest, and follow-up stages. The data were statistically analyzed using a mixed-design analysis of variance. Results: The results indicated that the mean score of shame significantly decreased in the follow-up compared to pretest and posttest. Moreover, the combination of MBRP group therapy and TAU was significantly more effective than TAU alone. The posttest and follow-up mean scores of the participants who received a combination of MBRP group therapy and TAU were significantly lower than those treated only with TAU. Conclusions: The study results showed that MBRP could be considered an effective therapeutic approach for reducing shame and self-criticism in individuals with OUD.

Published: March 2022

Context: As a contagious acute respiratory disease, COVID-19 was announced by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic on 11 March 2020. The clinical manifestation of COVID-19 includes fever, cough, taste/smell loss, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to viral pneumonia. The severity of symptoms varies among patients ranging from asymptomatic to acute pneumonia. Predicting patients at risk and disease severity in the different patients is controversial. The prevention of rapid progression of the disease, better prognosis, and decline of mortality are possible by knowing the risk factors of the disease. There is an essential question about different patients experiencing the infection from asymptomatic to acute disease. Methods: For this study, we searched the databases including ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed with a combination of keywords COVID-19, COVID-19 risk factors, COVID-19 causes, and personalized medicine in COVID-19. All studies related to our study were searched for data collection. Results: The clinical variability of COVID-19 infection is associated with various risk factors like age, sex, comorbidity, lifestyle, virus mutation, host immune response, and genetic background. Conclusions: The studies reported the significant heterogeneity in risk and outcome of COVID-19 infection among patients. Individualized therapy can occur by unraveling various phenotypes and underlying pathobiology of COVID-19 infection.
