Lost in Translation? Challenges in Connecting Reading Science and Educational Practice
Authors: Seidenberg Mark S. , Borkenhagen M. Cooper , Kearns Devin M.
Published: July 2020

Can the science of reading contribute to improving educational practices, allowing more children to become skilled readers? Much has been learned about the behavioral and brain bases of reading, how children learn to read, and factors that contribute to low literacy. The potential to use research findings to improve literacy outcomes is substantial but remains largely unrealized. The lack of improvement in literacy levels, especially among children who face other challenges such as poverty, has led to new pressure to incorporate the “science of reading” in curricula, instructional practices, and teacher education. In the interest of promoting these efforts, we discuss three issues that could undermine them: the need for additional translational research linking reading science to classroom activities; the oversimplified way the science is sometimes represented in the educational context; the fact that theories of reading have become more complex and less intuitive as the field has progressed. Addressing these concerns may allow reading science to be used more effectively and achieve greater acceptance among educators.
Forgetting across a hierarchy of episodic representations
Authors: Andermane Nora , Joensen Bardur Hofgaard , Horner Aidan J
Published: July 2020

Rich episodic experiences are represented in a hierarchical manner across a diverse network of brain regions, and as such, the way in which episodes are forgotten is likely to be similarly diverse. Using novel experimental approaches and statistical modelling, recent research has suggested that item-based representations, such as ones related to the colour and shape of an object, fragment over time, whereas higher-order event-based representations may be forgotten in a more ‘holistic’ uniform manner. We propose a framework that reconciles these findings, where complex episodes are represented in a hierarchical manner, from individual items, to small-scale events, to large-scale episodic narratives. Each level in the hierarchy is represented in distinct brain regions, from the perirhinal cortex, to posterior hippocampus, to anterior hippocampus and ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Critically, forgetting may be underpinned by different mechanisms at each level in the hierarchy, leading to different patterns of behaviour.
Racial dot maps based on dasymetrically modeled gridded population data
Authors: Dmowska Anna , Stepinski Tomasz
Published: July 2020

Racial geography - mapping spatial distributions of different racial groups is of keen interest in a multiracial society like the United States. Racial dot map is a method of visualizing racial geography which depicts spatial distribution, population density, and racial mix in a single, easy-to-understand map. Because of the richness of information it carries, the dot map is an excellent tool for visual analysis of racial distribution. Presently used racial dot maps are based on the census data at the tract or the block level. In this paper, we present a method of constructing a more spatially accurate racial dot map based on a sub-block resolution population grid. The utility of our dot maps is further enhanced by placing dots on the map in random order regardless of the race they represent in order to achieve a more accurate depiction of local racial composition. We present a series of comparisons between dot maps based on tract, block, and grid data. The advantage of a grid-based dot map is evident from the visual comparison of all maps with an actual image of the mapped area. We make available the R code for constructing grid-based dot maps. We also make available 2010 grid-based racial dot maps for all counties in the conterminous United States.
The Origins of the Division of Labor in Pre-Industrial Times
Authors: Özak Ömer , Depetris-Chauvin Emilio
Published: July 2020

This research explores the historical roots of the division of labor in pre-modern societies. Exploiting a variety of identification strategies and a novel ethnic level dataset combining geocoded ethnographic, linguistic and genetic data, it shows that higher levels of intra-ethnic diversity were conducive to economic specialization in the pre-modern era. The findings are robust to a host of geographical, institutional, cultural and historical confounders, and suggest that variation in intra-ethnic diversity is a key predictor of the division of labor in pre-modern times.

Published: July 2020

Preregistrations -- records made a priori about study designs and analysis plans and placed in open repositories -- are thought to strengthen the credibility and transparency of research. Different authors have put forth arguments in favor of introducing this practice in qualitative research and made suggestions for what to include in a qualitative preregistration form. The goal of this study was to gauge and understand what parts of preregistration templates qualitative researchers would find helpful and informative. We used an online Delphi study design consisting of two rounds with feedback reports in between. In total, 48 researchers participated (response rate: 16%). In round 1, panelists considered 14 proposed items relevant to include in the preregistration form, but 2 items had relevance scores below our predefined criterion (68%) with mixed argument and were put forth again. We combined items where possible, leading to 11 revised items. In round 2, panelists agreed on including the two remaining items. Panelists also converged on suggested terminology and elaborations, except for two terms for which they provided clear arguments. The result is an agreement-based form for the preregistration of qualitative studies that consists of 13 items. The form will be made available as a registration option on Open Science Framework (osf.io). We believe it is important to assure that the strength of qualitative research, which is its flexibility to adapt, adjust and respond, is not lost in preregistration. The preregistration should provide a systematic starting point.

Authors: Zhang Lide
Published: July 2020

Huawei has suffered a heavy toll on sales in international markets because of the US sanction, but it has successfully utilized its strength and opportunity, meaning having use sales promotion, patriotism and proprietary technology in promotions in the domestic market, and having switched and secured its suppliers. Therefore, the sales in the Chinese mainland is quite satisfactory to Huawei, and this situation let Huawei achieve an increase in sales revenue. In addition, the impact of the US sanction on Huawei's liquidity and profitability is minimum. Therefore, financially speaking, Huawei reacted well to the US sanction.
The Stability of Daily Situation Experiences
Authors: Finnigan Katherine M.
Published: July 2020

How stable are people’s day-to-day lives? It is now well-established that personality traits and behavior are quite stable over time (Roberts & DelVecchio, 2000). Several theories of personality suggest that the stability of one’s environment contributes to the stability of personality. However, little is known about the extent to which features of people’s daily environments are stable. In this secondary analysis, I examined the rank-order stability of individual differences in features of daily situations in a 2-year longitudinal study of daily life (N = 387). I analyzed three waves of two-week Experience Sampling Method (ESM) assessments of daily situation experiences, personality states, and behavior. ESM open responses were also coded for the DIAMONDS characteristics in the first two waves of ESM assessment. Personality states were found to be stable from year-to-year (M Stability = .63). Situated experiences (e.g., familiarity) were found to be about as stable as personality states. Activities (e.g., at home) and the eight DIAMONDS characteristics were found to be less stable than personality and situated experiences, but still showed moderate stability. These findings suggest that situation experience may be a viable individual difference and that the stability of environments may contribute to the stability of behavior, and vice versa.

Published: July 2020

INTRODUCTION: Hypothyroidism is a syndrome resulting from thyroid hormone deficiency. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities is associated with increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Thyroid hormones are major regulatory hormones that control the rate of metabolic function; thus, alteration in the levels of these hormones may be associated with MetS. The objective of our study was to find out the prevalence of MetS in subclinical and overt hypothyroidism.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: A hospital-based cross sectional study was conducted at Universal College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital (UCMS-TH) Bhairahawa from March to September 2019. A total of 222 hypothyroid patients were enrolled in this study. MetS was diagnosed by National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III; 2005) revision criteria. The anthropometric indices were recorded. fT3, fT4  and TSH were measured by chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) method and other biochemical parameters were estimated by colorimetric method. Data were analyzed by using SPSS 16.0.

RESULTS: Patients were aged between 10 and 60 years, with a mean age of 38.89 years. The prevalence of MetS was 44.1% of which 80.6% were females. Furthermore, the prevalence of MetS was found to be 43.7% in subclinical hypothyroidism and 46.6% in overt hypothyroidism.

CONCLUSION: The prevalence of MetS is high in both overt and subclinical hypothyroidism. Screening for MetS in patients with hypothyroidism can reduce the risk for CVD, as well as the mortality rate and mortality associated with it.

Published: July 2020

INTRODUCTION: Sputum smear examination for acid fast bacilli (AFB) by Ziehl-Neelsen stain (ZN stain) is the initial approach to the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). But 50% of the cases are reported to be sputum smear negative. This study was aimed to investigate the diagnostic yield of fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) guided bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in patients suspected to have tuberculosis. The sample was tested for Mycobacterium tuberculosis using the XpertMTB/RIF assay, which is a new test that detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and resistance to rifampin in less than two hours.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a prospective cross sectional study carried out on 58 sputum smear negative patients who were clinically suspected to have pulmonary tuberculosis from April 2017 to January 2019. All patients are subjected to FOB, BAL and BAL specimens were stained for AFB and also sent for Xpert (MTB)/RIF.

RESULTS: Among 58 patients enrolled for the study 26 patients were positive for acid fast bacilli (AFB) through BAL stain and Xpert (MTB)/RIF combined.

CONCLUSION: FOB guided BAL is a reliable, alternative and rapid method for diagnosing smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis with minimal complications.

Published: July 2020

INTRODUCTION: Decades of research has revealed several links between cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and mental illness, and has even suggested that both may actually cause one another. Emerging research is beginning to uncover high prevalence of behavioral risk factors in patients with mental illness that may lead to cardiovascular disease.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was designed to assess the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities in cardiovascular disease patients and to identify the behavioral risk factors in them. A semi-structured questionnaire including Self- Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) by WHO was used to screen psychiatric symptoms among 190 purposively selected samples. Data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS version 20.0

RESULTS: Among the 190 respondents, 150 (78.95%) were SRQ positive and table 1 shows majority (63.33%) was male. Highest proportion (60%) of the respondents was included in the age group of 40-64 years. Majority of cardiac morbidity was ischemic heart disease (55.79%). Respondents diagnosed with some kind of cardiac disease were suffering from depression (53.33%), anxiety disorder(38%) and panic disorder (8.67%). Behavioral risk factors present in respondents were smoking (90%) and alcohol abuse (90%) and more than half (65.33%) and (56%) had obesity and physical inactivity as behavioral risk factors respectively.

CONCLUSION: Health care professionals will need to expand their use of standardized screening tools that capture psychosocial factors in the CVDs population. Thus it can help in prevention and treatment of such comorbidities.

Homeless Shelter Flows in Calgary and the Potential Impact of COVID-19
Authors: Jadidzadeh Ali , Kneebone Ron
Published: July 2020

Social distancing and self-isolation are two of the key responses asked of citizens during a pandemic. For people without a home, this advice is rather more difficult to follow. In this article, we use daily data describing the movements of 36,855 unique individuals who used emergency homeless shelters in Calgary over the period 1 January 2014–31 December 2019. We show that the use of emergency shelters is characterized by large flows from and into the broader community and smaller flows between individual shelters. Between admissions of new people into the shelter system and multiple re-admissions of current clients, there were an average of 43,613 movements between the community and between shelters each month. The size of these flows provide a measure of the extent to which people reliant on homeless shelters are exposed to the risk of transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). By identifying the size and nature of these flows, we hope our analysis helps identify responses that may minimize this population’s risk of exposure.
The Trouble with the Town: Reading for Peoplehood in Métis Children’s Literature
Authors: Adese Jennifer
Published: July 2020

This article focuses on a critical examination of two children’s books authored by Métis children’s book author Deborah Delaronde: Flour Sack Flora (2001) and Flour Sack Friends (2003). It argues that recent scholarship on the first of the books, Flour Sack Flora, is based on a postcolonial approach that overemphasizes hybridity and narrowly focuses on the purported métissage of the text. This reading approach is emblematic of a wider problem: Métis literature is frequently read through the lens of the author’s presumed “mixed-race” Métis identity and readers’ limited knowledge about Métis people as Indigenous people. This article therefore de-emphasizes hybridity in order to advocate for an Indigenous peoplehood approach to reading Métis literature. This approach moves away from reading for race to cultivate a greater understanding of Métis children’s literature and develop a body of literary criticism that is more meaningfully attuned to who Métis people are.
Silent Witness and “Scenes of Hearing” in Marie Clements’sThe Unnatural and Accidental Women
Authors: Lorenzi Lucia
Published: July 2020

This article explores how Marie Clements’s The Unnatural and Accidental Women responds to the longue durée of colonial violence by working against western conventions of genre, particularly with regard to how violence appears on the stage. I argue that by focusing on sound and silence – voices, absences, communications, transmissions – Clements’s play queries how staging violence differently can offer new understandings of what justice is, for whom it is available, and how it is achieved. Focusing on Clements’s strategic use of sound and silence within the play, I argue that The Unnatural and Accidental Women disrupts settler-colonial epistemologies of trauma by enacting Indigenous methods of resistance to gendered and sexualized violence.

Published: July 2020

An intensive work of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) on a cobalt-based catalyst supported with cerium as a promoter was presented. The influence of space velocity and inlet gas feed ratio on FTS reaction performance was studied for the synthesized catalysts. Incipient wetness impregnation method was utilized to synthesis both unpromoted (25%Co/?-Al2O3) and cerium promoted (1%Ce-25%Co/?-Al2O3) catalysts. The proposed catalysts were examined by N2 adsorption and temperature-programed reduction (TPR). The performance of Ce-promoted and unpromoted cobalt-based catalysts in FTS was assessed in terms of activity and selectivity to desired products (C5+). The obtained results revealed that the addition of cerium by impregnation notably favours the reducibility of cobalt oxides by reducing the reduction temperature. In addition, the promoted catalysts exhibited higher activity and selectivity toward desired products at low space velocity and high inlet gas feed ratio as compared with the unpromoted catalysts. In conclusion, a cerium based cobalt catalyst considered as a suitable candidate to be used in gas to the liquid conversion process.
ABSTRAK: Kajian intensif sintesis Fischer-Tropsch (FTS) adalah tentang pemangkin berasas kobalt bersama penggalak cerium. Pengaruh tindak balas FTS pada halaju ruang dan nisbah suapan gas masuk dikaji menggunakan pemangkin yang disintesis. Kaedah impregnasi insipien basah telah digunakan bagi mensintesis pemangkin bukan penggalak (25%Co/?-Al2O3) dan penggalak cerium (1%Ce-25%Co/?-Al2O3). Pemangkin ini diuji dengan penjerapan N2 dan pengurangan suhu terprogram (TPR). Hasil tindak balas penggalak-Ce dan bukan penggalak berasas kobalt dalam FTS diperiksa dari segi aktiviti dan pemilihan hasil (C5+). Tindak balas menunjukkan dengan penambahan cerium melalui kaedah impregnasi dengan ketara mengurangkan kobalt oksida bersama pengurangan suhu. Di samping itu, pemangkin penggalak menunjukkan aktiviti dan pemilihan ke arah hasil pada halaju ruang dan nisbah suapan gas masuk yang tinggi berbanding dengan pemangkin bukan penggalak. Kesimpulan, pemangkin kobalt berasas cerium dianggap sesuai sebagai pemangkin sintesis bagi digunakan dalam proses penukaran gas ke cecair.

Published: July 2020

Manual material transfer tasks are common in occupational settings. Repetitive lifting tasks usually involve twisting and bending which are associated with occupational lower back injuries. One of the approaches to reduce bending and twisting is to separate the distance between lifting origin and destination, which will encourage lifters to step and turn entire bodies. However, adding lifting distances is likely to affect space usages and requirements. A study was conducted to investigate how the transfer distances influence space usage during the lifting task. Raw data of hip and hand wrists motion of 26 male subjects during transfer in 4 different distances were captured using X-Sens motion capture system. MVN Studio software was used to process and extract positional data. Tabulated space mapping revealed limited hip movement and semicircular shaped hand motions for short transfer distances. The pattern changes into a more stretched-curve shape as the distance increases. Overall, it was observed that shorter transfer distance caused participants to adopt more twisting and less bending postures, while further transfer distances resulted in more bending and less twisting. This study may provide industrial practitioners with information to design a space requirement for manual material transfer tasks.
ABSTRAK: Kerja-kerja pemindahan barang secara manual adalah biasa dalam persekitaran kerja. Kerja-kerja mengangkat barang yang kebiasaannya melibatkan badan membengkok dan berpusing boleh menyebabkan kecederaan tulang belakang. Salah satu cara bagi mengurangkan risiko ini adalah dengan memisahkan jarak antara tempat asal dan tempat tuju pemindahan barang. Pemindah barang digalakkan untuk melangkah dan memusingkan seluruh badan. Namun, cara ini menyebabkan penggunaan ruang yang banyak. Satu kajian telah dijalankan bagi mengkaji bagaimana jarak pemindahan barang mempengaruhi penggunaan ruang ketika kerja-kerja pemindahan. Data asal pergerakan pinggul dan pergelangan tangan daripada 26 subjek lelaki ketika pemindahan barang pada 4 jarak berbeza diperolehi menggunakan sistem rakaman gerakan X-Sens. Perisian MVN Studio digunakan bagi memproses dan mengekstrak data ini. Ruang pemetaan berjadual mendedahkan pergerakan pinggul yang terhad dan pergerakan tangan berbentuk separa bulat pada jarak pemindahan terdekat. Corak ini berubah kepada bentuk lengkung memanjang apabila jarak bertambah. Keseluruhannya, jarak pindahan yang kurang menyebabkan para peserta lebih terdedah kepada postur memusingkan badan berbanding membengkok, sementara jarak yang jauh menyebabkan peserta lebih membengkok berbanding memusingkan badan. Kajian ini memberikan maklumat untuk penggiat industri mereka cipta keperluan ruang bagi kerja-kerja pemindahan barang secara manual.

Published: July 2020

Boron is one of the key elements required in flora, fauna, as well as human beings. However, human life and eco-systems could be seriously affected when exposed to excessive levels of boron, especially in seawater and groundwater. In this work Moringa oleifera was selected as a precursor adsorbent owing to its eco-friendliness characteristics and favourable removal efficiency of adsorbates. Besides, M. oleifera does not significantly affect the conductivity of water and pH value after the treatment. The main aim of this work was to investigate the potentiality of M. oleifera in the treatment of boron from contaminated saline water. The effect of adsorption parameters such as pH (7 - 9), adsorbent dose of 4000 – 8000 mg/L of solution and contact time of 60 – 180 min was thoroughly investigated. Face-centred Central Composite Design (FCCCD) was applied to optimize these parameters. Consequently, the highest percentage of removal (65%) was achieved at the pH of 8, 120 min of contact time and 6000 mg/L of adsorbent dosage. The adsorption studies stated that the adsorption fitted well with the Freundlich isotherm. Therefore, the outcome of this work revealed that boron could be significantly treated using a prepared adsorbent from M. oleifera.
ABSTRAK: Boron merupakan salah satu elemen yang diperlukan oleh flora, fauna, juga manusia. Walau bagaimanapun, hidup manusia dan ekosistem pasti terkesan apabila di dedahkan secara berlebihan, terutama pada air di lautan dan daratan. Kajian ini menggunakan Moringa oleifera sebagai penjerap kerana ia mempunyai ciri-ciri mesra dan berkesan membuang bahan terjerap dengan berkesan. Selain itu, M. oleifera tidak langsung memberi kesan kepada konduktiviti air dan nilai pH selepas perawatan. Tujuan utama kajian ini adalah mengkaji potensi M. oleifera dalam larutan rawatan air garam boron yang tercemar. Kesan parameter penjerapan seperti pH (7-9), dos penjerapan 4000 – 8000 mg/L larutan dan masa interaksi 60 – 180 minit di kaji dengan teliti. Kaedah Komposisi Tumpuan Tengah Muka (FCCCD) digunakan bagi mengoptimumkan parameter-parameter ini. Hasilnya, peratus tertinggi penyingkiran adalah sebanyak (65%) pada pH 8, 120 min masa interaksi dan 6000 mg/L dos penjerapan. Kesimpulannya, kajian penjerapan ini menyokong kuat teori isoterma Freundlich. Oleh itu, hasil kajian ini menunjukkan boron dapat dirawat dengan menggunakan larutan penjerapan daripada M. oleifera.

KEDUDUKAN ANAK DURHAKA DALAM HAK MENDAPAT HARTA WARIS (Telaah Terhadap KHI Pasal 171 point c, Pasal 173 dan Pasal 174)
Authors: Songgirin Amin
Published: July 2020

Penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kedudukan anak durhaka dalam haknya mendapatkan harta waris, ditelaah dalam KHI Pasal 171 poin (c), Pasal 173 dan 174. Penelitian adalah penelitian normatif dengan melakukan penelitian kepustakaan atau data sekunder dengan analisis deskriptif dan kualitatif. Yakni menggunakan bahan hukum primer, bahan hukum sekunder dan bahan hukum tersier untuk kemudian menggambarkan korelasi anak durhaka terhadap Kompilasi Hukum Islam Pasal 171 poin c, Pasal 173 dan Pasal 174. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa; pertama, bahwa kedudukan anak durhaka terhadap KHI Pasal 171 poin c dan Pasal 174 tetap sebagai ahli waris dan mendapatkan hak waris. Kedua, kedudukan anak durhaka terhadap KHI Pasal 173 poin (a), bahwa ahli waris durhaka hilang hak mendapatkan warisan jika melakukan durhaka (khusus), karena sebab membunuh. Ketiga, kedudukan anak durhaka terhadap KHI Pasal 173 poin (b), maka perlu dipertegas dalam pasal dimaksud. Sebab durhaka bukan sebab terhalangnya ahli waris mendapat hak warisnya, hanya durhaka “membunuh” atau sebab “mempercepat proses pewarisan” sebagai penghalang mendapat waris. Sehingga bunyi KHI Pasal 173 poin (b) perlu diperkuat dengan tindak pidana atau perdata yang dengan sengaja untuk  mempercepat proses pembagian harta waris. Hal ini dimaksudkan untuk membatasi definisi “durhaka” pada persoalan Hukum Kewarisan Islam.

Being thought of now is by increasing criminal acts of embezzlement of leasing cars as collateral. With the loss of the insurer by the actions of car buyers who commit fraud, another problem is the difficulty of law enforcement agencies in dealing with such cases.
