In this globalization era, everyone uses gadgets with modern technology such as laptops, computer, tablets, smarthphones and others. Interesting things of gadgets such as social media and online games make gadgets are nedded for all of ages including school-age children. More fun of gadgets activity makes school-age children play gadgets more than two hours a day. Excessive intensity is very dangerous because dependence of gadgets affects intellectual and emotional intelligence, decreased focus on learning, does not do homework, and unable to manage time for others things. More severe impact is the risk of mental disorders. The aim of this community service activity was that students know how to use gadgets correctly and avoid gadgets abuse. The provision of health education was carried out directly to the students in St. Yoseph III Elementary School. Media used are educational videos, posters and leaflets. Students were divided into several groups based on grade level. After providing health education, we evaluated the students’knowledge. The result showed that 65% of students understood the health education and 55% gave positive feedback. It is very important for students to understanding the correct use of gadgets, so that students do not dependence of gadgets which has impact on physical and psychological health problems and does not interfere students’learning processes. Therefore, it is recommended that parents and teachers can monitor the use og gadgets and guide children on how to use gadgets properly both at home and at school.

Advancing food democracy: The potential and limits of food policy positions in local government
Authors: Berglund Erika , Hassanein Neva , Lachapelle Paul , Stephens Caroline
Published: November 2021

For several decades, food policy councils (FPCs) have led the effort to place food on local govern­ment policy agendas. While FPCs are making pro­gress in supporting local food systems, they also face institutional and organizational challenges. In recent years, a handful of cities and counties have endeavored to further food system reform with the establishment of full-time government staff posi­tions focused on food policy. As of spring 2020, there were 19 confirmed food policy positions housed in local governments across the United States. While there is considerable literature on FPCs, little research has been published regarding food policy staffing in local governments. Accordingly, this study uses original in-depth inter­views with 11 individuals in municipal or county food policy positions to understand the purpose and function of governmental food policy staff positions and their impact on local food systems. Our findings suggest that these positions help to coordinate and nurture local food programs and policies and have the potential to facilitate mean­ingful participation of individuals and groups in the community in food system reform. We discuss the potential benefits and challenges for governmental food policy positions to support food democracy, and provide the following recom­mendations for communities interested in estab­lishing or strengthening similar positions: (1) iden­tify and coordinate existing opportunities and assets, (2) foster and maintain leadership support, (3) root the work in community, (4) connect with other food policy professionals, and (5) develop a food system vision.

Conductive, mild-moderate hearing impairment in children is a very frequent condition after newborn hearing screening that easily leads to misdiagnosis. Conductive hearing impairment needs an accurate differential diagnosis to avoid inadequate treatments. The paper reports a case of bilateral, sensorineural hearing impairment of moderate degree in a 5-month male infant that was diagnosed after the failure of newborn hearing screening and because of a family history of hearing loss. His parents asked for an advice about the need of hearing aids at the Audiological and Otolaryngology Department. The diagnostic and audiological assessment recognised a conductive, moderate hearing loss associated with tympanic effusion and velar-tube dysfunction. After two months, in the follow-up, the child’s hearing threshold was normal. The case underlines the importance of early identification of hearing impairment and of a complete evaluation programme before indicating any treatment.
Cosa deve sapere ogni pediatra sulla comunicazione aumentativa alternativa (CAA)
Authors: La Manna Cynthia , Prina Isabella , Cavalleri Michele , Conti Patrizia , Selicorni Angelo
Published: November 2021

Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) is an area of clinical practice that tries to compensate for the temporary or permanent disability of individuals with complex communication needs. It uses gestures or signs and images and utilises a double communicative input, both visual and auditory. It is Augmentative because its main purpose is to enhance and expand ("augmentative" 1983 ISAAC) communication and language, supporting all the communicative potential of the person. It is Alternative because it uses an alternative method to traditional communication: it utilises gestures, signs, aids for communication and advanced technology, falling within Assistive Technology (AT). AAC users are mainly those with complex (cognitive and communicative) disabilities. Moreover, it is also used in all those temporary situations in which communication is hindered by traumatic factors (intensive care, first aid) or linked to the issue of integration / inclusion. For example, foreign people can benefit from the use of AAC in order to reduce discomfort in social relations and language learning. The Authors highlight the potential of AAC both on the basis of scientific and clinical evidence and describe the evolution of two clinical cases followed at the Child and Adolescent Neuropsychiatry Unit in Como (Italy).
How to write medical abstracts? The rhetorical structure and phrases used in Epidemiology
Authors: Freitas Ana Luiza Pires de , Bocorny Ana Eliza Pereira
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Abstracts are critical in medical contexts. They contain formulaic building blocks called Lexical Frames (LFs), which are high-frequency word sequences with variable slots that can be formed around collocation nodes. LFs are abundant in written academic discourse, and , for this reason, have great importance for the production of abstracts. Extensive research has been conducted on formulaic language, especially on medical genres. Fewer studies, however, have focused on LFs from specialty-specific corpora (.e.g., epidemiology) and their relationship with the rhetorical structure of abstracts. Objective: This study aims to fill this gap by describing the structure of epidemiology abstracts, presenting their rhetorical functions, and identifying the LFs that linguistically realize these functions to help researchers write more conventional abstracts. Methods: We put together three corpora of abstracts in the field, published in English in peer-reviewed journals, and combined genre analysis and Corpus Linguistics principles to identify the linguistic realizations of the rhetorical functions in the texts. First, the rhetorical structure was described; then, the LFs were identified and analyzed. Results: 92% of the texts follow a pre-established pattern, whose structure consists of five to nine sections. Eight saliently frequent nodes (study, result, method, conclusion, review, analysis, patients, and findings) around which the LFs are constructed were identified. Conclusion: Even though both the content and function words that make up the LFs show some variation, it is possible to notice that the LFs elicited typify the linguistic realizations of the corresponding sections' rhetorical functions and, thus, are suitable to the observation of a pattern. For that reason, the data obtained in this study were used to inform the creation of a support framework for the writing of specialty-specific medical abstracts.

RESUMO O ensino de Ciências permeia a vida acadêmica dos alunos das instituições de ensino, pois colabora na formação do cidadão para ser protagonista do mundo e dos fenômenos naturais ao seu redor. A uma educação inclusiva para surdos e regulamentada nos currículos de Ensino Básico no Brasil e preconiza o bilinguismo LIBRAS/Português, mas na prática não acontece. Nos deparamos com escassos estudos e materiais didáticos voltados, o que dificulta o processo de ensino-aprendizagem e, além disso, a realidade linguística da maioria dos alunos surdos é: não são alfabetizados no português (L2), não dominam a LIBRAS (L1) e chegam para o ensino de Ciências com a perspectiva de aprenderem uma “terceira linguagem”, a linguagem própria da Ciência. Entretanto, apesar da maior barreira para a aprendizagem desses alunos ser linguística, não é impeditiva para a aquisição dos conhecimentos científicos, mas que acoplados ao aspecto visual/espacial, é possível conduzir o aluno a aprendizagem, de forma simultânea, dos signos imagético das Ciências, da LIBRAS e das nomenclaturas em português. Neste trabalho, trazemos um relato de experiência de produção de material didático bilingue e "não estático" para alunos surdos baseado que vai além da necessidade de definições traduzidas Português/Libras da modalidade oral-auditiva. A ferramenta Scratch para a produção do material didático foi escolhida devido fazer uso de uma linguagem de programação de fácil compreensão e apropriada metodologicamente para exploração visual e imagética em movimento, para isso foi feita a inserção de “atores” na ferramenta Scratch no formato gif, possibilitando a comunicação gestovisual. Foi possível a produção de 4 materiais dinâmicos, sequenciais e que se complementam, abordando o assunto dos reinos/grupos de classificação dos seres vivos. O presente trabalho vem mostrar uma nova possibilidade de produção de material didático para atender os estilos e estratégias de cada aluno na construção do conhecimento.

Authors: Perez Alexandre , Dib Sarah , Terzic Andreij , Courvoisier Delphine , Scolozzi Paolo
Published: November 2021

Objective: This study used published studies to assess the survival rate of dental implants placed in patients with bone dysplasia of the maxillofacial region.Material and methods: An electronic search without a specified date range was performed using the MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. No gender or age restrictions were applied.Results: Eighteen publications were found that met the study’s criteria, reporting data on 18 patients with bone dysplasia including cleidocranial dysplasia (CDD), fibrous dysplasia (FD), florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD), and odonto-maxillary segmental dysplasia (SOMD), who received a total of 130 implants, an average of 7.2 implants/patient (range 1 to 16). The mean age of the patients was 36.7 years (range 15 to 70 years). For implants placed in bone dysplasia, the survival rates were 100% for patients with CDD (n = 8), FD (n = 5), SOMD (n = 2), FCOD with implants inserted far from the lesions (n = 2) and 0% for dental implants inserted within FCOD (n = 1). The mean follow-up was 38.2 months (min 6, max 60).Conclusions: Dental implants placed in patients with dysplastic bone lesions show high survival rates, similar to those in the general population for CDD, FD, and SOMD. For FCOD, the failure rate was 100%.

River discharge, storm surges and tidal interactions in the Meghna river mouth in Bangladesh
Authors: ALI ANWAR , RAHMAN HAFIZUR , CHOWDHURY SYED SAZZAD HAIDER
Published: November 2021

Interactions among river discharge, storm surges and tides in the Meghna river estuary in Bangladesh have been studied by using a two-dimensional vertically integrated numerical model of the northern Bay of Bengal. The study considers the interactions mostly in terms of flow across the river mouth under the three forcings, individually and in different combinations of them. River discharge and tidal flow across the river mouth act both positively and negatively depending on the tidal phase, positively during high tide and negatively during low tide. This is also true for the combination of all the three forces. On the other hand, in most of the cases, river discharge acts in opposition to the storm surges. Under certain conditions and on rare occasions they act positively. The interactions between river discharge and storm surges, however, depend on their relative magnitudes. In respect of total elevation in the estuarial region, river discharge tends to increase the surge height. However, away from the estuary, the effect of river discharge is hardly discernible.
Prediction of sea state under tropical cyclones in the UK Met Office operational global wave model
Authors: HOLT M.W. , HUNT J.C.R.
Published: November 2021

The United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMO) routinely runs a global operational numerical weather prediction model. Surface winds from this model are used by a spectral wave model to forecast sea state. A brief description is given of the formulation of the wave model, and two cases of Tropical Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal are examined using the archived data generated in real time by the operational wave model. These are Tropical Cyclone 3B, 14-15 June 1996 and Tropical Cyclone 07B, 4-6 November 1996.
 
At a resolution of 1.25° in longitude by 0.833° in latitude the numerical weather prediction model does not represent the dynamics of a tropical cyclone and the surface wind speeds are underestimated. Consequently, the extreme sea state generated by a Tropical Cyclone is not modelled. However, the wave model was able to generate a long period swell of over 3m height, which propagated away from the area of generation.
Finally, work in progress to blend the operational numerical model surface winds with synthetically generated tropical cyclone surf winds, for use in the operational wave model, is outlined.
A numerical study of the response of tropical Pacific SST to atmospheric forcing
Authors: LIU XIAOMING , MORRISON JOHN M. , XIE LIAN
Published: November 2021

Two sets of atmospheric forcing from NCEP/NCAR 40-year reanalysis project, one based on monthly averaged climatological data and the other on 1982-83 monthly averaged data, are used to derive the global Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model (MICOM). These two runs are referred to as the climatological experiments and 1982-83 El Nino experiments. Sensitivity tests of tropical Pacific SST to different bulk parameterizations of air-sea heat and momentum fluxes are carried out in the two experiments. Primary results show that constant transfer coefficients                          (1.2 × 10-3) for heat flux greatly overestimate the tropical Pacific SST, whereas the Liu-Katsaros-Businger (Liu et al. 1979) method can significantly improve the SST simulation especially under very low-wind speed conditions. On the other hand, Large and Pond (1982) formulation of the drag coefficient made little difference on the tropical Pacific SST simulation although it might modify the surface ocean circulation. The SST seasonal cycle and interannual variability of tropical Pacific SST are also examined in this study. Since SST is the most important oceanic parameter that provides the link between the atmosphere and the ocean, this evaluation of different parameterization schemes may facilitate future studies on coupling ocean-atmospheric numeric models.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of salinity and plant-based diet or animal-plant combination diet on the performance and metabolic status of juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The experimental design was completely randomized in a 4 × 2 factorial scheme with four replicates. The treatments were established by the combination of salinities of 0, 10, 20, and 30 g L-1 with an animal-plant combination diet (AP) or plant-based diet (P). The replicates were 60 L tanks with 12 fish per tank. Diets were provided for 32 days, and the fish were fed three times a day (8, 12, and 17 h) until apparent satiety. Daily feed intake (DFI) was measured, body weight (BW) was recorded at the beginning and end of the trial, and total length (TL) and standard length (SL) were measured at the end of the trial. Average daily gain (ADG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and survival rate were calculated. After the biometric measurements were made at the end of the trial, blood samples were collected to determine the plasma concentrations of total protein (TP), glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides (TG). The fish were euthanized, and the hepatopancreas was collected and weighed; thereafter, the hepatosomatic index (HSI) was calculated. An interaction was detected between salinity and diet type for final BW, ADG, TL, and SL. These traits were not influenced by salinity when it was associated with the AP diet, but reduced linearly with salinity in the P diet. DFI and survival rate were independently affected by salinity: DFI reduced linearly with salinity levels and survival rate was higher at a salinity of 10 g L-1. HSI increased linearly with salinity levels and was lower in the P diet than in the AP diet. Salinity had a quadratic effect on plasma TP, and the maximum value for this metabolite (2.96 g dL-1) is attained at a salinity of 10.26 g L-1. There was an independent effect of diet on the plasma concentrations of cholesterol and TG, which were lower in the P diet than in the AP diet. The salinity of 10 g L-1 associated with diet composed of animal and plant ingredients led to a better performance, higher survival rate, and less stressful environmental conditions for juvenile Nile tilapia.

The aim of this study was to develop methodologies to obtain fish protein concentrates from tambacu filleting residues, characterize their physical-chemical composition and evaluate their sensory profile. Concentrates were prepared by one of three methodologies: cooking of the raw material and subsequent drying (FPC1); cooking, drying, lipid removal with ethanol at 70 °C and final drying (FPC2); and three washing steps of the raw material with ethanol at 70 °C and drying (FPC3). FPC2 had a lower final yield (15.5%) and chroma a* (1.77) and chroma b* values (14.12) but higher moisture (5.22%) and protein content (80.39%) and luminosity (74.97), in addition to having the weakest fish taste compared to FPC1 and FPC3. FPC1 had the strongest odour, darkest colour, and strongest fish taste compared to FPC2 and FPC3. Ash, pH values, and water activity were not different between the concentrates. It is concluded that the methodology where lipid removal steps are carried out after cooking and drying (FPC2) is more effective for the removal of lipids and deodorization of tambacu protein concentrate.

Study Abroad: Factors Lending to the Decision
Authors: Garman Eden
Published: November 2021

In a world that is becoming more globally connected, universities in the United States of America are pushing for more students to participate in study abroad opportunities. The researcher looked to answer the following questions: What factors influence student involvement in study abroad programs? What influence does the study abroad office exert over a student’s decision to study abroad? What conceptions or circumstances do students have prior to college that stimulate them to decide one way or another? The results where then analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively paired with Social Judgment Theory. The data suggests that females, non-athletes, those that have traveled outside of the country before, and students who had a parent attend college are more likely to study abroad. The study also discusses a financial aspect, GPA, and traveling outside the country as additional factors.

Published: November 2021

Traditional first-year university students are experiencing one of life’s greatest transitions. For many students, they are learning how to live independently for the first time, navigate relationships and support, and deal with new experiences that happen in college. Since traditional first-year students are not considered developmentally as adults, this study sought to determine how parental communication can influence how students feel during this time of transition of both college and emerging adulthood. More specifically we measured how the frequency of communication and type of parental support can affect the student’s psychological well-being. A survey was used to gather this data from students at a private university in the Midwest. We concluded that the frequency of communication and parental support does affect certain areas of a first-year university student’s psychological well-being.

The current world needs to use modern technologies in plant science research due to increasing food requirements, and to cope up with global climate changes (1). Consequently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) based technologies are considered as the most recent and advanced research tools in every sector of science. Biological researches are also making progress surprisingly due to the assistance of AI affiliated tools directly or indirectly. Nowadays, plant physiology to genomic manipulation has witnessed, how it is easier and accurate than previous (2). Moreover, continuous monitoring of plants' growth, growing media, and relevant surroundings were time and labor-consuming in the past; even, the obtained results were erroneous somewhat. Data processing and analysis were based on individual performances of the participated researchers; surprisingly, the scenarios have been changed after the emergence of AI (3).

This study used different supporting media (poly-styrene sheet, sand, and gravel) during outdoor hydroponic farming of onion within a natural environment setup. Domestic onion variety Taherpuri was taken as a model onion plant. As for performance parameters, plant height, number and length of leaf, length of root, bulb weight, number of bulblet, and chlorophyll contents were recorded. The number of produced leaves was almost same, although the length of leaf and root was found to have variations in these three supporting media. The yield (weight of bulb and number of bulblet) performance was slightly higher in polystyrene sheets (7.74 g and 3 bulblets per plant) than in the others. Chlorophyll-a, Chlorophyll-b, and total chlorophylls were comparatively higher in polystyrene sheets, 0.530, 0.764, and 1.294 mg/g respectively. Other growth parameters also showed better results in the case of polystyrene sheets. Finally, the results suggested that the polystyrene sheet as a hydroponic floating bed is suitable for outdoor hydroponics for onion cultivation.
