BACKGROUND

Collaborative Creativity (CC) is a social process of generating creative and innovative solutions to real-world problems through the collective effort and interaction of a group of people. By taking this approach, medical students can cultivate the abilities and mindset required to be creative thinkers, develop teamwork and interdisciplinary learning, complex problem-solving, and provide outstanding patient care. However, medical students ranked low on creativity, sparked by existing pedagogical approaches that focus more on knowledge outcomes, and the professional challenges for doctors and healthcare professionals have become more complex in an ever-evolving healthcare ecosystem requiring collaborative creativity.

OBJECTIVE

This study objective was to develop, test, and evaluate the acceptability of a new framework for learning online Collaborative Creativity (FLOCC).

METHODS

FLOCC builds upon the established pedagogical approaches of rapid Design Thinking, Team-Based Learning (TBL) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and is scaffolded by four individual asynchronous (Empathy Map, Frame Your Challenge, Turning Insights into How Might We Questions, and Individual Brainstorming) and five collaborative synchronous activities (Bundle Ideas, List Constraints, Final Idea, Prototyping and Blind Testing). Eighty-five medical students took part in two feasibility studies (study 1, n=44; study 2, n=41) differentiated by two problems (healthcare and engineering sustainability issues). Learner acceptability was measured using a 31-item survey (using 7-point Likert scale) consisting of four factors (Distributed Creativity, Synergistic Social Collaboration, Time Regulation and Achievement, and Self and Emotions) and three free text questions.

RESULTS

Most students were positive about FLOCC, scoring higher mean percentages of 'Agree' in the first two factors (92% and 88%), followed by the latter two factors (80% and 70%); indicating high level of acceptability. Only Time Regulation and Achievement was statistically significant (P < 0.01) between means of studies 1 and 2. Effect size was larger in Self and Emotions and Time Regulation and Achievement (eta squared Ƞ2 = 0.34 and 0.72, respectively), than Synergistic Social Collaboration and Distributed Creativity (Cohen’s d = 0.01 for both).

CONCLUSIONS

With effective time management, the FLOCC has potential as a tool or framework for nurturing collaborative creativity in medical students. Medical schools could provide the opportunity and environment for medical students to be creative thinkers; therefore, creativity approaches could be integrated into the curriculum to possibly foster the culture of creativity for breakthrough solutions by future doctors of the 21st century.

Published: July 2023

Histopathology for tumor margin assessment is time-consuming and
expensive. High-resolution full-field optical coherence tomography
(FF-OCT) images fresh tissues rapidly at cellular resolution,
facilitating evaluation. We imaged fresh ex vivo skin tissues (normal
and neoplastic) from Mohs surgery. FF-OCT features were defined and
diagnostic accuracy for malignancies was performed by the two experts
OCT readers via a blinded analysis. A convolutional neural network was
built to distinguish and outline normal structures and tumors. Of the
113 tissues imaged, 95 (84%) had a tumor (75 BCCs and 17 SCCs). The
average reader diagnostic accuracy was 88.1%, a sensitivity of 93.7%,
and a specificity of 58.3%. The AI model achieved a diagnostic accuracy
of 87.6%±5.9%, sensitivity of 93.2%±2.1%, and specificity of
81.2%±9.2%. A mean intersection-over-union of 60.3%±10.1% was
achieved delineating nodular BCC from normal. We envision FF-OCT for
rapid evaluation of surgical margins and AI tumor detection leading to
widespread technique integration.
Struktury rynkowe a zmienność cen względnych w sektorze przetwórstwa przemysłowego i branży spożywczej krajów UE
Authors: Kufel Justyna
Published: July 2023

Zmienność cen względnych między krajami zwiększa ryzyko prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej oraz zakłóca efektywną alokację inwestycji. W artykule próbowano odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy i w jaki sposób struktury rynkowe oddziałują na zmienność cen względnych w branżach sektora przetwórstwa przemysłowego. Wykorzystując dane roczne dotyczące 14 branż przetwórstwa w 27 krajach członkowskich UE, analizowano interakcje struktur rynkowych i zmienności cen względnych. Zgodnie z założeniami standardowego modelu szacowania marż okazało się, że wzrost zmienności marż względnych ma związek z większą zmiennością cen względnych między krajami.Wzrost interakcji między zmianami marż względnych i zmianami nominalnego kursy walutowego oddziałuje z kolei na spadek zmienności cen względnych. Sytuację w branży spożywczej przedstawiono na tle pozostałych analizowanych branż.
TRANSLATION AS A TOOL OF CONSTRUCTING INTERCULTURAL RELATIONS: A CASE STUDY ON THE RELATION BETWEEN TURKISH AND CUBAN CULTURES
Authors: Yılmaz Kutlay Sevcan
Published: July 2023

With the cultural turn in Translation Studies, it has been accepted that
translation is not just a linguistic but also a cultural activity. This cultural
activity can appear in various forms such as a positive and constructive
interaction or an asymmetrical power relation including assimilation, conquest
and/or colonial activities between cultures. Literature, translation and
translated literature can be used as a tool or strategy in this spectrum of
complicated relations. The agents/actors taking an active role in these relations
have become an object of study in Translation Studies as well as in all other
fields of Social Sciences. Using his agent role as an ambassador, Ernesto Gomez
Abascal wrote a fictional novel titled Havana’da Türk Tutkusu 1898 (Turkish
Passion in Havana 1898) drawing inspiration from historical facts to construct
a positive Turkish image in Spanish and Cuban literature and culture. Abascal
was inspired by the future translator of the novel, Mehmet Necati Kutlu to
write this book. Kutlu, who is an academician and an agent fostering the
relations between Turkey and Latin American countries, reported his findings
to Abascal about the Ottoman Empire and Cuban relations. Inspired by this
information, Abascal wrote a fiction based on these historical records. This
article will try to analyze the role of literature, translation and agents in the
process of constructing cultural images through this example.

Laxative effect of prebiotics in chronic constipation: Mechanisms of action
Authors: Lorenzo De Fraia  , Stephanos Christodoulides  , Ioannis Patrikios
Published: July 2023

Constipation is a condition that affects a consistent part of the general population, with increasing numbers of incidence worldwide. Its causes can be attributed to several factors. One of these factors (and one of the most relevant causes) is dietary choices. For instance, poor nutrition habits have been shown to adversely affect the function of the digestive tract, eliciting abnormal physiological responses that might lead to constipation. Prebiotics are specialized types of fermentable fibres which have been hypothesised to play a beneficial role in the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation. Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and inulin are the most common types of prebiotics. There are several studies to demonstrate that prebiotics have many interactions with the bowel and its movements, thus they are potentially beneficial in the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation. Some prebiotics can retain water and therefore increase stool mass and viscosity, making the passage of faeces through the gastrointestinal tract easier. In addition, prebiotics can feed the probiotic bacteria (the body’s “good” bacteria that synergistically live in the digestive tract), and the fermentation of prebiotics by the probiotic bacteria leads to the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFA synthesis through prebiotic fermentation has been shown to improve gastrointestinal function and bowel movement. Moreover, prebiotic fermentation in the colon might trigger both immunomodulatory responses and the production of neurotransmitters that elicit stronger contractility in the colon. Prebiotic fermentation from the gut microbiota might trigger the release of neurotransmitters that interact with the central nervous system (CNS) and enteric nervous system (ENS). These bacterial neuromodulators directly affect the digestive nerve terminals, eliciting responses from the digestive tract that result in a faster and easier defaecation. Besides the existing studies that describe the roles of prebiotics in gut health and motility, their beneficial role has not yet been fully understood and proven, thus further research is needed on the topic.
THE HOME AS EMBLEM OF WOMEN ENSNAREMENT IN ALFRED LORD TENNYSON’S MARIANA AND THE LADY OF SHALOTT
Authors: ÇAMELİ Muhammed Metin
Published: July 2023

The representation of home has remained in the forefront of studies from different periods in Western literature. When Victorian literature is considered, the poetry of Alfred Lord Tennyson stands out as it provides a fertile ground for the exploration of meanings home takes on to a serious extent. Two of his well-known poems, Mariana and The Lady of Shalott, can be regarded as illustrative of Victorian attitude toward women ensnarement through the symbol of home. More specifically, what makes the study of these poems somewhat special is that they enable contemporary readers to think critically about the ways in which home bears witness to traumatization of women by patriarchal restrictions. Therefore, this article will mainly show that home symbol in the selected poems is an essential component of a realistic representation of the status of women of the poet’s time thereby positing patriarchy as an unfair configuration of Victorian society.
Tryptase alpha/beta 1 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer and lung cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and multiplexed gene expression data (4, 5), comparing primary and brain metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the CNS. We found that tryptase alpha/beta 1, encoded by TPSAB1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Multiplexed gene expression data (5) revealed conserved differential expression of TPSAB1 in CNS metastasis in patients with lung cancer. TPSAB1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in metastasis to the brain in humans with breast cancer. Expression of TPSAB1 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient overall, distant metastasis-free and recurrence-free survival. Modulation of TPSAB1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with cancer of the lung and breast.

Published: July 2023

Evaluation has been an essential component of the teaching and learning process for as long as it has been a part of the teaching and learning process itself, which is something that takes place all the time at every educational institution. This is because the assessment has a tight link with educators in the process of transferring information to analyze how much students' abilities have developed over the course of the learning process and while assembling each assignment in the process of learning. This study tries to shed light on the index of difficulty index found in a set of prediction test in Ekadanta tutoring book. This study employed descriptive qualitative approach. The data source was 20 questions from Ekadanta tutoring book. The subject of this study were 11 students of English Department at Universitas Iskandarmuda, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The data collection was carried out by instructing the students to do the test within 40 minutes. After the data obtained, they were analyzed using index of difficulty formula and categorized into its index level. The results shows that from 20 question, there are 8 questions fall under difficult index, 8 questions are categorized into moderate, and the other 4 questions are considered easy in the level of difficulty index. It is concluded that the test is good and descent from the perspective of the difficulty index. It is later suggested that future research would involve more questions and test sets as well as participants in studies alike.

Published: July 2023

The quest for a low carbon footprint (CF) has prompted many institutions around the world, such as universities, among others, to take stock of their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The CF assessment and its reporting are seen as a first step towards sustainability through planning for anthropogenic carbon emissions reduction. Carbon emissions–related activities of The University of the South Pacific (USP) Marine Campus) were investigated and then evaluated for potential reduction opportunities. A CF model for the campus’s CO2e emissions was developed. The results from the model estimated the USP Lower Campus CO2e emissions to be 2665.8 tCO2e. The Lower Campus per capita emissions for 2015 amount to about 1.1 tCO2e per equivalent full-time student (EFTS) and 0.07 tCO2e per square meter. Scope 3 emissions held the largest share of the emissions (96%). The emissions within scope 3 were largely from student and staff commuting. Besides commuting category, the largest contributor to the overall campus emission was electricity consumption and was recognized as an important source category. A 50kWp Photovoltaic (PV) rooftop system is proposed as an emission reduction strategy for the base case. This would make the campus electricity 100% renewable and entail an annual emission reduction of 12.9 tCO2e. Other strategies that support environmental and GHG management within the campus are also proposed in this paper.

Introducción: la infección por COVID-19 afecta el tracto aerodigestivo superior a través de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina 2 (ECA2) y/o la proteasa trans[1]membrana serina 2 (TMPRSS2). Sus manifestaciones agudas y secuelas han sido muy variadas y no todas están relacionadas con la intubación orotraqueal. El ob-jetivo es describir las características sociodemográficas, clínicas y los hallazgos endoscópicos de los pacientes con síntomas laringofaríngeos posteriores a una infección por SARS-CoV-2 evaluados en el Hospital Militar Central y Hospital Uni-versitario Clínica San Rafael entre marzo de 2020 y marzo de 2022. Materiales y métodos: estudio observacional de corte transversal con datos sociodemográfi-cos, comorbilidades, necesidad de intubación orotraqueal, variedad de síntomas y sus hallazgos endoscópicos. Resultados: se recolectaron datos de 118 pacientes; la edad media fue de 51 años ± 14,4. El síntoma más frecuente fue la disfonía (69,5 %), seguido de la disnea (39,8 %). El 58,9 % requirió intubación orotraqueal y, de estos, la manifestación más frecuente fue disfonía por tensión muscular (DTM) y estenosis subglótica-traqueal. En el 41,1 % restante su hallazgo más frecuente fue la laringitis irritativa.
Conclusiones: la COVID-19 tiene múltiples manifestaciones laringofaríngeas en relación con su mecanismo de infección e invasión en los tejidos de esta zona, de tipo inflamatorio y estructural, y no todos están relacionados con la intubación.
Mujeres, alimentación y agricultura familiar de subsistencia en Amantaní, Puno.
Authors: López de Romaña Anel
Published: July 2023

Los sistemas alimentarios en América Latina vienen atravesando un proceso de transformación en las últimas tres décadas; en el cuál ha aumentado el consumo de productos agroindustriales tanto en zonas urbanas como rurales. En tal escenario, el presente trabajo se pregunta por la transformación de los sistemas alimentarios familiares de pequeños agricultores de subsistencia en la isla Amantaní, ubicada en el lago Titicaca, provincia y departamento de Puno. Este artículo se enmarca en el conjunto de cambios asociados al fenómeno de la ‘nueva ruralidad’, en el que los hogares son más móviles y con una mayor diversificación de actividades económicas (pluriactividad). Se examina la manera en que las decisiones, estrategias y dinámicas alrededor de la alimentación han cambiado. Para ello, se analizan narrativas autobiográficas y prácticas alimenticias de cuatro mujeres, quienes a través de sus historias de vida retratan el sistema alimentario en Amantaní; cómo perciben que han cambiado sus labores, responsabilidades, su dieta y también sus preocupaciones y riesgos de sufrir inseguridad alimentaria. El presente artículo parte de un trabajo de campo de ocho semanas en Amantaní, entre marzo y mayo de 2019. Se realizaron entrevistas y conversaciones con distintos actores del sistema alimentario familiar, así como autoridades locales. La observación participante en momentos de aprovisionamiento, procesamiento y consumo de los alimentos con tres familias de Amantaní fueron claves para el desarrollo de esta etnografía de la alimentación. En especial, Elsa, Hilda y Juanita fueron las que abrieron las puertas de sus hogares, cocinas, conocimientos e historias de vida.

Los objetivos de esta investigación, para el caso de estudio del profesorado en formación de Educación Primaria y Secundaria (Universidades de Alicante y Valencia, España), son: analizar la formación recibida sobre el cambio climático durante su etapa universitaria; comprobar su capacitación para enseñar este fenómeno en las aulas escolares; y analizar las propuestas de mejora de su formación como docentes. Metodológicamente, se ha distribuido un cuestionario de 22 ítems al profesorado en formación (n=824) entre los cursos 2018-2019 y 2021-2022. Los principales resultados indican que más de la mitad de los/as participantes no ha recibido formación sobre el cambio climático durante el Grado (54,9%) y Máster (55,8%) y que su capacitación corresponde a un valor medio (“3”) lo que no resulta del todo negativo. Asimismo, se ha comprobado que la formación docente influye en la capacitación para enseñar estos contenidos. Respecto a las propuestas de mejora, estas se dirigen principalmente a la demanda de más recursos didácticos. Como conclusión, se plantea la necesidad de seguir avanzando en la formación de los futuros docentes y que se tomen en cuenta sus necesidades o centros de interés que giran alrededor de los recursos didácticos, experiencias formativas y formación continua.

Published: July 2023

Pears in early autumn can be harvested with the best quality. Pear farmers sort the fruit so that it can be consumed and sold with the best quality. Therefore automatic detection and sorting tools can make it easier for farmers to sort pears. This tool can sort fresh and rotten fruit using the TCS-3200 sensor based on the ESP32 microcontroller. The harvested fruit is collected in a container and the fruit will go out onto the conveyor. The conveyor has a length of 60 cm using a Nema 17 stepper motor that moves automatically, the TCS-3200 sensor is placed in the middle of the conveyor so that it can detect moving pears. The results of the sorting door servo if the fruit is declared fresh then the servo remains closed straight so that the fruit will go to the front container, and vice versa the fruit is declared rotten then the servo will open up so that the fruit will go down. At the end of the conveyor there is an IR sensor which is used to send a signal to the servo motor of the main container door, so that if the fruit has been detected and leads to the IR sensor, the main container door will open and take out new pears. And for data collection the number of pears can be seen through the LCD by calculating the number of pears that have been detected, the number of fresh fruit and the number of rotten fruit, and the overall calculation of the amount of data can be seen through a spreadsheet. In this case, it is hoped that this research can help and facilitate farmers in harvesting fruit on a large scale while being efficient in time and energy.

Rol de trampas extracelulares de neutrófilos en el pronóstico de las infecciones del sistema respiratorio
Authors: Flores Guzmán Francisco David , Hernández Rivera Anna Gabriela , Iraheta Tobar Karla Gabriela
Published: July 2023

Las trampas extracelulares de neutrófilos (NET, por sus siglas en inglés) han surgido recientemente como un vínculo potencial entre la inmunidad y la inflamación, que podría cumplir un papel clave en la patogénesis de las infecciones de vías respiratorias. El objetivo de esta revisión es determinar su rol como marcador pronóstico en enfermedades infecciosas de vías respiratorias. Para la elaboración de este artículo de revisión narrativa se consultaron las publicaciones disponibles a través de una búsqueda automatizada en las bases de datos de PubMed, Scopus y Embase. Las concentraciones elevadas de trampas extracelulares de neutrófilos (cfADN, complejos de mieloperoxidasas-ADN) en pacientes con cuadro clínico grave por infecciones de vías respiratorias, se relacionan con una estancia hospitalaria más larga, periodo prolongado de administración de antibióticos, aumento del riesgo de ingreso a la UCI, necesidad de ventilación mecánica, disfunción orgánica e incluso la muerte (p ≤ 0,05). A pesar de no contar con un parámetro de medición estandarizado, el exceso de trampas extracelulares de neutrófilos se corresponde con la gravedad del daño tisular observado en pacientes con infecciones de vías respiratorias, esto revela el importante rol pronóstico de la respuesta de los neutrófilos y del proceso de la NETosis en las enfermedades infecciosas pulmonares.

De ahí radica el principal objetivo de analizar los macrofactores de ocurrencia y persistencia, diagnóstico y seroprevalencia del dengue en Latinoamérica. La metodología utilizada fue documental de tipo descriptivo nivel explicativo, basándose en la búsqueda de artículos en bases de datos reconocidas como PubMed, Scielo, Elsevier, etc, donde se utilizaron los términos meSh. Los resultados obtenidos determinaron que existen diversos factores que influyen en la aparición ocurrente y persistente del dengue, sin embargo, entre los más importantes se destacan macrofactores como cambio climático, urbanización y ordenamiento ambiental mal planificado, pobreza, focos de proliferación el sexo y la edad. Entre la seroprevalencia destacada se evidencian seropositivos en inmunoglobulina G e inmunoglobulina M por medio de ELISA e inmunocromatografía, en zonas de América Latina. En conclusión, debido a la hiperendemicidad de la región estudiada y sus predisponentes macrofactores el dengue sigue reemergiendo hasta la actualidad.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the problem of managing field work practices at SMK GENUS Bukittinggi still using the manual method, namely students must register through the homeroom first so it takes a long time. As well as in data management, there are some students who propose to move places and locations for field practice for certain reasons. Then students who have finished carrying out Field Work Practice activities and want to collect reports must go to school directly to collect them, and to get results or grades from students who do Field Work Practices the teacher must wait for DU/DI to issue the required grades and a long time . Therefore, it is necessary to design an information system for the management of Field Work Practices using PHP/MySQL. The type of research used is the type of RnD (Research and Development). The system development model used is the waterfall model. Based on the results of the validity test carried out, the results obtained were 0.79 with a valid product conclusion.
