Addressing the Teacher Exodus via Mobile Pedagogies: Strengthening the Professional Capacity of Second-Career Preservice Teachers through Online Communities of Practice
Authors: Oluk Sarah
Published: September 2023

In recent years, the discourse from media outlets around the globe, including Australia, has narrated a teacher supply crisis and highlighted the need to address an ever-growing teacher shortage. In Australia, a recent exodus of accredited teachers has seen a rapid change in the stability of the teaching workforce. School leaders are significantly challenged to find suitable teachers, especially in hard-to-staff schools in rural and remote communities. To fill the supply gap, governments have targeted career professionals looking to segue into a second career in education. Initial teacher education (ITE) preservice teachers trying to balance their external commitments and studies have necessitated a more flexible and versatile online learning platform and community. This paper discusses the need for ITE providers to pivot from the traditional modes of on-campus teaching and to establish a more accessible and highly engaging pedagogical approach to preservice teacher education to prepare this cohort of future teachers to be educators in schools. With a focus on the well-established pedagogical approach of collaborative communities of practice, this paper explores new narratives surrounding collective engagement and the link to academic accomplishment. The findings and thematic analyses unveiled a teaching-focused lecturer’s lived experiences while creating and delivering collaborative and authentic pedagogically mobile curricula. The goal is to prepare preservice teachers for their new careers while creating authentic learning experiences that build their capacity to become pedagogically adaptable beginning teachers.

Published: September 2023

This study aims to analyze the impact of value creation and cocreation, as measured by the dialogue, access, risk assessment, and transparency (DART) model, on the performance of non-profit sports organizations (NPSOs). To assess this impact, the authors analyzed data collected from sports and administration managers of NPSOs, specifically Colombian amateur soccer clubs. The study used partial-least-squares structural-equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with constructs of the reflexive-formative type. The results indicate that value creation has a positive impact on the performance of NPSOs through the mediating effect of value cocreation. Despite the limitations of this study, including the limited research on the relationship between value creation and cocreation and NPSO performance in Colombia, the findings contribute to the understanding of the mediating effect of cocreation. The authors found that cocreation mainly affects the sport, customers/members, communication and image, finance, and organization dimensions of NPSOs in developing countries. This study draws attention to the potential benefits of cocreation for NPSOs and emphasizes the importance of creating value in this context. The study concludes that further studies on the constructs proposed in this research would help to understand the phenomenon of innovation and its impact on NPSOs. Overall, this study provides valuable insights for managers and policymakers in NPSOs—especially in developing countries—on the importance of value cocreation in improving their performance.
Herbal Infusions as a Part of the Mediterranean Diet and Their Association with Psychological Resilience: The Paradigm of Greek Mountain Tea
Authors: Christodoulou Efstratios , Meca Ana , Koutelidakis Antonios E.
Published: September 2023

Herbal infusions (HI) are a popular type of beverage known for their potential health benefits due to the extraction of phytochemicals and bioactive compounds. The Mediterranean Diet (MD) is a well-known dietary pattern with beneficial effects on health, and Psychological Resilience (PsyR) is a key indicator of mental health and human well-being. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore the relationship between HI and the MD, as well as their association with PsyR. The study included 398 healthy adults from Greece who participated voluntarily in an online research survey. The results indicated that 45.9% of participants consumed HI more than twice per week. There was a statistically significant association between the weekly consumption of HI and the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (14-MEDAS), which identified HI consumption as a prognostic factor of high adherence to the MD. Additionally, HI consumption was significantly associated with PsyR. St John’s wort, green tea, and Greek mountain tea were associated with higher levels of PsyR. Greek mountain tea was also associated with a healthful and sustainable lifestyle. These findings suggest that HI are an integral part of the Mediterranean Diet, and their consumption is associated with PsyR. Promoting the consumption of HI such as Greek mountain tea and other herbs could be an effective way to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors and sustainable practices. Further randomized control trials are needed to confirm the results of this study.

Published: September 2023

Acromegaly is a condition most commonly diagnosed in the fifth decade of life and has numerous treatment options. In this regard, Mycapssa® is the first FDA-approved oral octreotide capsule for treating acromegaly, combining the efficacy of the somatostatin receptor ligand, octreotide, with the ease of a twice-daily oral capsule. Where surgical treatment is not an option, somatostatin analogs, including octreotide, are the first line of medical treatment for acromegaly, requiring regular subcutaneous or intramuscular injections administered by a patient’s healthcare provider. Octreotide capsules (Mycapssa®) provide an alternative to these somatostatin receptor ligand injections by combining octreotide with other excipients to produce a transient permeability enhancer technology that improves paracellular transport of octreotide across the gastrointestinal wall into the small intestine. Across multiple trials, including open-label (CH-ACM-01), double-blind placebo-controlled (CHIASMA OPTIMAL), and open-label extension of the trial period (CHIASMA OPTIMAL OLE), Mycapssa® octreotide capsules maintained a consistent biochemical normalization of IGF-1 and GH levels, safety profiles similar to injected somatostatin receptor ligands, and patient preference to continued treatment with octreotide capsules. While clinical trial data supports the use of octreotide capsules (Mycapssa®) in the pharmacological management of GH and IGF-1 levels, very little data exist regarding the drug’s efficacy, tolerability, and use in female or pediatric-specific populations. A better understanding of the efficacy, application, and role of oral octreotide capsules in the long-term medical management of acromegaly in a diversity of populations is imperative to best determine the risks/benefits for the clinician.
Allowing the Final Form Full-Voice: Inductive Bible Study Method
Authors: Boyd Rick
Published: September 2023

The Inductive Bible Study method is a hermeneutical approach and process for studying the Bible. Focusing on the final form of the text and trying to minimize or eliminate presuppositions, it takes into consideration all relevant sources of evidence, observing and examining the text, asking questions from the observations, and answering them, primarily from the text itself, but with the flexibility to incorporate other types of evidence from outside the text if the text itself demands it for clearer understanding. The inductive method (IBS), as described and demonstrated in this article, emphasizes both the form and content of the text, focusing on the various contexts of the text. Matthew 16:13–28 is used to illustrate certain aspects of the method, and the telic benediction in Hebrews 13:20–21 serves as the main example of a text to which the IBS method is applied to yield text-centered results over against an emphasis on foreground or background matters. The results are often profound and always come straight from the context of the text being studied.
Regulatory Effects of GPR158 Overexpression in Trabecular Meshwork Cells of the Eye’s Aqueous Outflow Pathways

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), the major risk factor for glaucoma, is caused by decreased outflow through the trabecular meshwork (TM). The pathophysiology of ocular hypertension has been linked to stress pathways, including fibrosis, calcification and the unfolded protein response (UPR). In a pharmacogenomic screen, we previously identified the novel G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), GPR158, showed that expression is upregulated in TM cells by glucocorticoid stress hormones, and showed that overexpression protects against oxidative stress. We also found that loss of Gpr158 in knockout mice negates IOP reduction due to treatment with the catecholamine stress hormone, epinephrine. An increase in GPR158 would be expected to alter the activity of GPR158-regulated pathways. Here, we profiled gene expression changes due to GPR158 overexpression by microarray, then conducted pathway analysis. We identified five upstream stress regulators relevant to ocular hypertension: dexamethasone and TGFB1 (fibrosis), XBP1 and ATF4 (UPR), and TP53 (cell cycle arrest). Key genes in the first three pathways were downregulated by GPR158 overexpression, but not enough to inhibit dexamethasone-induced fibrosis or calcification in TM cells, and loss of Gpr158 in knockout mice only minimally protected against dexamethasone-induced ocular hypertension. Depending on dose, GPR158 overexpression down- or upregulated the TP53 pathway, suggesting the mechanism for previously observed effects on cell proliferation. A sixth upstream regulator we identified was a GPCR: the beta-adrenergic receptor ADRB1. Adrenergic receptors serve as targets for IOP-lowering drugs, including epinephrine. These data provide new information about pathways regulated by GPR158.
Vapor–Gas Deposition of Polymer Coatings on Metals from Azeotropic Solutions of Organosilanes
Authors: Makarychev Yu. B.
Published: September 2023

The mechanism of the vapor–gas deposition of vinyltrimethoxysilane (VS) and ethylene glycol (EG) from azeotropic solutions is investigated, which allows a reduction of the evaporation temperature of the components of working mixtures. The need for such studies is associated with the development of a new direction in the technology of vapor–gas deposition of polymer coatings. Methods have been developed for monitoring the chemical composition of working solutions in evaporators using optical spectroscopy, which makes it possible to calculate the partial pressures of vapor-phase components. Based on these studies, compositions of working solutions are proposed that allow the equalization of the partial pressures of the components of working mixtures with a large difference in the boiling point. With the aid of vapor–gas deposition, siloxane coatings on low-carbon steel were obtained, the protective properties of which exceeded the treatment with volatile inhibitors of the adsorption type by two to three orders of magnitude. A new method of vapor–gas deposition of non-volatile powder inhibitors on metals is proposed. Chemical compositions of siloxane coatings were determined using XPS, and mechanisms of interaction of VS with the polymerization promoters ethylene glycol and 1-hydroxy ethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) were proposed.

This article aims to examine how the practice of marrying an uncle's daughter (boru tulang) in the Simalungun Islamic community in Tinokkah Village, Sipispis District, what are the factors causing the practice of marrying an uncle's daughter, and how the Shafi'i School's perspective on the practice of marrying an uncle's daughter is still carried out by the Muslim community in the village. This research is an empirical legal research, with qualitative data analysis methods. Primary data sources were obtained from interviews with Muslim communities who practiced marrying uncles' children, traditional leaders, and the author's observations. The results showed that there are still some Simalungun Muslim communities who practice marrying with uncles' daughters (boru tulang) for the reason of wanting to further strengthen family relationships, filial piety to parents, and keep family property from going out of kinship. In the perspective of the Shafi'i School, marriage with close relatives, such as marrying with uncles' daughters (boru tulang) in the Simalungun Muslim community, is not recommended even the law is makruh because it is feared that there will be negative impacts on children. However, some people feel a positive influence in realizing family resilience, through marriage with uncle's children.
Analisis Teori Kekuasaan Michel Foucault atas Propaganda Media dalam Membangun Diskursus Politik
Authors: Barasa Martinus , Riyanto F.X. Armada
Published: September 2023

This paper aims to examine Foucault's perspective on power in the media as a political tool. The problem focuses on Foucault's thoughts on the relationship between power and knowledge. Power is often seen as a goal or a way of doing politics. With that power, the ruling party is able to control the knowledge system. The media is often a tool used by political rulers to create public opinion. If that opinion has been accepted by many people, then it can be said that the media succeed and the ruler is able to control many people. In order to approach the problem, Foucault's thoughts on the theory of power are used. Data on Foucault's thoughts are obtained from literature obtained through books and journals. Foucault's theory is then used to analyze the role of the media in people's lives, especially in the political field. This study concludes that the media also determines the political direction of certain communities. This political direction is determined by those who have power over the media. The media also has the power to create mass culture in ways that are considered reasonable. Politics as a discourse is used to control in the form of language spread by the media. In the end, knowledge is no longer neutral but has been controlled by the ruling parties.

Russian influence, anti-Western sentiments and African agency: The struggle for influence in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Authors: Titeca Kristof
Published: September 2023

Russia has been trying to extend its influence over Africa over the last years; a process which became intensified due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Through the case of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), this article shows that although Russia plays an active role in this quest for influence by offering incentives (such as those shipments of weapons), anti-Western sentiments in the DRC are at least as important. These sentiments have been magnified by the M23 rebellion and perceptions of Western complicity in this crisis. This has resulted in pressure within the Congolese administration, particularly from the security forces, to “shift to Russia,” as well as Western efforts to counter this influence. At the same time, this ‘neo-Cold War’ has offered opportunities for political leverage by the Congolese government, to exercise pressure on Western governments – something which has not always been successful.

Cablebús L1 Indios Verdes-Cuautepec, Ciudad de México. Políticas de infraestructuray promesa de movilidad para la ciudadanía
Authors: Morales Peña Mireya
Published: September 2023

Uno de los principales retos de la movilidad en la Ciudad de México, ha sido la integración de los distintos medios de transporte y la necesidad de crear nuevas y eficientes infraestructuras para el traslado de más de 99 millones de personas mensualmente, a través del transporte público. Sin embargo, la inversión en nuevas redes, representa costos elevados cuando se establecen en zonas alejadas y de difícil acceso en las periferias de la ciudad, como Cuautepec. Al ser un asunto de gobierno, las políticas suelen centrarse en la mejora de los sistemas existentes, en consecuencia, la construcción de infraestructuras suele ser vistas como un instrumento político. En este sentido, a través del establecimiento de Cablebús L1 desde la perspectiva de la antropología de las infraestructuras, es posible comprender y explicar la forma en que un plan se constituye en promesa y dentro de esta, la infraestructura como proyección. Esta puede o es utilizada para representar el poder el Estado ante sus ciudadanos, pero a su vez posibilita distintas confrontaciones sociales que de otra manera tienen lugar por el objeto construido.

Published: September 2023

Facing the challenging task that the social and urban context of the city demands, as well as the latent competitiveness that exists in the professional life of an architect, the need arises to generate quality architectural objects that promote improvements in the construction of the City. However, this professional task depends in largely of the origin of the architect's training, which is co-dependent on the teaching-learning strategies under which each University is governed, that is why it is important to analyze in a multifactorial way, all those elements that have a wider impact in the formation of the architect. For this, it is proposed to make an analysis of how this discipline is taught and learned in the BUAP Faculty of Architecture, in comparison with a cross-sectional analysis of the educational axes of the main academic programs of International Universities that offer the career of architecture (Massachusetts Tech, USA; Oxford Brooks, UK.; AA, UK; Delft, NED), in order to understand how teaching is approached in these most recognized universities. In this way, it seeks to identify those strategies that improve the learning quality of the architectural design process, so that students are prepared for the challenges of professional life. So that these strategies can be applied both to the educational axes, as well as to the change of the line of reasoning that the faculty of architecture, of the BUAP.

The development of the quality and interpretative level of a music professional is made up of an accumulation of cultural elements that together can guarantee an optimal performance of the instrumentalist. The practice of the trombone within the state of Zacatecas, Mexico, is currently very relevant and it is for this reason that within the Academic Unit of Arts of the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas is offered, for many years now, the specialization in the instrument; However, the health situation experienced in previous years has caused situations that have decreased student enrollment within the chair. This document aims to expose the actions that are being carried out from the trombone class to guarantee the continuity of studies of the students who make up the student plant, as well as to continue their academic development. This results in an analysis to observe the relevance of a future modification of the educational model in the trombone career.

This research obeys the need of this 21st century, the era of knowledge, where education must reconsider its vision for the potentialization of student learning in technological higher education. Neurodidactics is a tool whose objective is to optimize the teaching-learning evaluation process, based on brain development, favoring learning with all the brain's potential. The objective is the design of a model based on neurodidactics in technological higher education, considering important elements for its application, and obtaining significant learning with critical thinking. Showing the elements according to the investigation in a case of use in the IT of Zitácuaro, for its creation of the model. The phenomenology provides the elements for the pertinent analysis to the design of the model. The design of a model based on neurodidactics gives teachers the opportunity to redesign themselves and identify the missing events to achieve their objectives in the learning of higher education students.

ÖZET
Amaç: Preterm doğum, neonatal ve infant mortalitesinin en önde gelen
nedenidir. Spontan preterm doğum açısından riskli hastaları yakalamak
ve önleyici tedavi seçenekleri sunmak için transvajinal ultrason ile
serviks uzunluğunun ölçülmesi önerilmektedir. Ancak düşük riskli
hastalarda, özellikle servikal uzunluk ölçümü 26-29 mm çıktığında takip
algoritmalarının olmaması nedeniyle, bu yöntemle evrensel taramanın
maliyet etkinliği konusunda kesin bir fikir birliği yoktur. Spontan preterm
doğum ve servikal yetmezlikle intraamniyotik infeksiyon veya steril
inflamasyon ilişkisi bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada inflamasyon belirteci
olarak klinik kullanımı olan nötrofil/lenfosit oranının servikal kısalıkla
ilişkisi araştırılmıştır.
Materyal ve Metotlar: Bu çalışma, retrospektif bir gözlemsel çalışmadır.
Kliniğimizde takip edilmekte olup 16-34 haftalar arasında transvajinal
ultrason ile servikal kısalık tespit edilen 115 hasta çalışma grubu,
servikal uzunluğu normal olan 94 hasta kontrol grubu olarak alındı.
Ultrason tarihinden 1 hafta öncesine ve sonrasına kadar kan sayımı
yaptırmamış olan, servikovajinal kültüründe üreme olan, aktif enfeksiyon
kliniği olan ve çoğul gebelikler dışlandı. Çalışma ve kontrol gruplarının
demografik verileri, hemogram parametreleri ve nötrofil/lenfosit oranları
karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışma ve kontrol gruplarında maternal yaş ve parite açısından
anlamlı fark yok idi. Kısa serviks (çalışma) grubunda vücut kitle indeksi,
gebelik sayısı ve önceki preterm doğum sayısı kontrol grubundan yüksek
saptandı. Çalışma grubunda servikal uzunluk, doğumda gebelik haftası
ve doğum kilosu kontrol grubundan anlamlı düşüktü. Çalışma grubunda
ortalama doğum haftası 33,7 (±5,2) doğum ağırlığı 2374,1 (±1027,5) iken
kontrol grubunda 38,2 (±3,1) ve 3410 (±760) idi. Nötrofil ve lenfosit sayısı
gruplara arasında farksız iken, çalışma grubunda nötrofil/lenfosit oranının
kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak yüksek olduğu tespit edildi.
Sonuç: Gebelik ortası yüksek nötrofil/lenfosit oranı servikal kısalık ile
ilişkilidir. Servikal yetmezliğin tanısında altın standart transvajinal ultrason
ile servikal uzunluk ölçümüdür. Ancak bu muayene günlük pratikte herkese
uygulanmamaktadır. Nötrofil/lenfosit oranı yüksek olan hastalarda bu
muayeneden vazgeçilmemesi gerektiği hastalara vurgulanmalıdır. Düşük
riskli grupta nötrofil/lenfosit oranı birinci basamak tarama yöntemi olarak
kullanılabilir.
IMPROVEMENT DESIGN AND SIMULATION ANALYSIS ON CENTRIFUGAL DISC ORGANIC FERTILIZER SPREADER

Aiming at the poor efficiency in crushing a handful of caking organic fertilizers spraying from the traditional disc spreader, an improved disc spreader equipped with spike-tooth crushing unit was designed with the introduction of its structural composition and working principle. Also simulation experiments were carried out based on the discrete element method according to the solutions made before and after the structural improvement. Firstly, a granular organic fertilizer model was established based on the EDEM and a caking organic fertilizer bonding model was built based on the HMB (Hertz-Mindlin with bonding) contact model. Then two organic fertilizer spreading models corresponding to the solutions were respectively established, based on which simulation experiments were repeated three times on the spreading process. The analysis on the particle velocity vector diagram revealed the interaction relationship between organic fertilizers with the toothed shaft, external wall and disk, verifying the crushing mechanism of crushing unit. By calculating the total number of the bonds generated and broken in the spreading process in both of the spreading models, the average broken rate of bonds in the spreading process was separately 58.87% and 98.05% based on each solution, revealing that the improved solution outperformed the traditional solution in terms of the efficiency in crushing the caking organic fertilizers. This research will be a reference in designing the critical components or improving the overall performance of disc spreader.
The content and spread of conspiracy theories
Authors:   , Miani Alexandre
Published: September 2023

Belief in conspiracy theories (CTs) is associated with numerous societal harms, including violence, vaccine refusal, and political extremism. Given the speed and intensity with which information spread through the internet, there is a pressing need to understand what CTs are and how they circulate. Across four studies, This PhD thesis works towards this goal: understanding the content and spread of CTs. In Study 1, we developed the largest corpus of CTs available today, LOCO, that allows to explore the content and spread of CTs. An analysis of linguistic content showed that conspiracy texts are focused on deception, power, and dominance. Conspiracy webpages that rely on prototypical conspiratorial language are more shared on Facebook. In Study 2, we found that conspiracy texts are more interconnected, more topically heterogeneous, and more similar to one another. These results provided strong empirical support for an overarching conspiracy worldview in conspiracy narratives. In Study 3, we developed measures to assess elements of divergent and convergent thinking in texts. We show that conspiracy texts were more original, semantically divergent, and sophisticated, but less appropriate to their context and less variable compared to those in non-conspiracy texts. Results point to an imbalance between divergent and convergent thinking and may explain the accumulation of CTs within people’s belief systems. In Study 4, we devised a field study to compare the impact of social media and individual cognitive biases on online browsing behavior towards websites classified on ideological types and strength. We found that as the websites’ conspiratorial ideology increases, the contribution from individual cognitive biases increases at the expense of traffic from social media. In sum, results obtained from this thesis have practical implications. As for the content of CTs, the presence of conspiracy mentality that emerges from texts represents a foreseeable possibility to develop algorithms for the automatic detection of CTs online. In regard to the spread of CTs, knowing that individual cognitive biases drive access to conspiracy websites suggests that individual-level interventions, such as improving critical thinking, should be prioritized in the fight against the spread of CTs.
The City Diplomacy and Istanbul's Capacity for City Diplomacy

Published: September 2023

Today, cities are considered as the sub-actors of nation-states in the international system. The disruption of public services is stemming from continuous migration emerged as a new problem during the early 2000s. It would not be unjustified to argue that this migration is an undesired result of the processes of both urbanization and industrialization, which began in the 1970s. However, as the process of industrialization remained incomplete, it created various governance issues especially between the local and national governments. This migration flux has influenced a significant number of cities in Türkiye including İstanbul. From 2000 and onwards, İstanbul has gradually been losing its urban culture and urban identity cause of emigration. Therefore, urbanization could not be completed both economically and socially in Istanbul. Within this framework, this article aims to explore the city diplomacy capacity of İstanbul in terms of solving economic and political problems arising from urbanization. In so doing, this article takes the tension between local and central government in terms of use of diplomacy as an example.
