Published: September 2022

Background

Home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPT) is witnessing rapid diffusion worldwide. Contemporary studies documented mainly short-term (6-12 months) effects of HBPT, and there are limited data about its uptake.

Objective

The aim of this study was to explore the 3-year use and determinants of HBPT, and the interactions with systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) and overall blood pressure (BP) control rate.

Methods

HBPT records were obtained from a 3-year cohort of 5658 patients with hypertension in Jieshou, Anhui, China, and data from a structured household survey of a random sample (n=3005) of the cohort. The data analysis comprised (1) timeline trajectories of the rates of monthly active HBPT and mean SBP/DBP for overall and subgroups of patients with varied start-month SBP/DBP; and (2) multivariable linear, logistic, and percentile regression analyses using SBP/DBP, BP control rate, and yearly times of HBPT as the dependent variable, respectively.

Results

HBPT was followed by mixed changes in mean monthly SBP/DBP for varied patient groups. The magnitude of changes ranged from –43 to +39 mmHg for SBP and from –27 to +15 mmHg for DBP. The monthly rates of active HBPT all exhibited a rapid and then gradually slower decline. When controlled for commonly reported confounders, times of HBPT in the last year were found to have decreasing correlation coefficients for SBP/DBP (from 0.16 to –0.35 and from 0.11 to –0.35, respectively) and for BP control rate (from 0.53 to –0.62).

Conclusions

HBPT had major and “target-converging” effects on SBP/DBP. The magnitude of changes was much greater than commonly reported. BP, variation in BP, and time were the most important determinants of HBPT uptake. Age, education, duration of hypertension, family history, and diagnosis of hypertension complications were also linked to the uptake but at weaker strength. There is a clear need for differentiated thinking over the application and assessment of HBPT, and for identifying and correcting/leveraging potential outdated/new opportunities or beliefs.

Published: September 2022

Background

Although the treatment for breast cancer is highly personalized, posttreatment surveillance remains one-size-fits-all: annual imaging and physical examination for at least five years after treatment. The INFLUENCE nomogram is a prognostic model for estimating the 5-year risk for locoregional recurrences and second primary tumors after breast cancer. The use of personalized outcome data (such as risks for recurrences) can enrich the process of shared decision-making (SDM) for personalized surveillance after breast cancer.

Objective

This study aimed to develop a patient decision aid (PtDA), integrating personalized risk calculations on risks for recurrences, to support SDM for personalized surveillance after curative treatment for invasive breast cancer.

Methods

For the development of the PtDA, the International Patient Decision Aids Standards development process was combined with a mixed methods design inspired by the development process of previously developed PtDAs. In the development, 8 steps were distinguished: establishing a multidisciplinary steering group; definition of the end users, scope, and purpose of the PtDA; assessment of the decisional needs of end users; defining requirements for the PtDA; determining the format and implementation strategy for the PtDA; prototyping; alpha testing; and beta testing. The composed steering group convened during regular working-group sessions throughout the development process.

Results

The “Breast Cancer Surveillance Decision Aid” consists of 3 components that support the SDM process: a handout sheet on which personalized risks for recurrences, calculated using the INFLUENCE-nomogram, can be visualized and which contains an explanation about the decision for surveillance and a login code for a web-based deliberation tool; a web-based deliberation tool, including a patient-reported outcome measure on fear of cancer recurrence; and a summary sheet summarizing patient preferences and considerations. The PtDA was assessed as usable and acceptable during alpha testing. Beta testing is currently ongoing.

Conclusions

We developed an acceptable and usable PtDA that integrates personalized risk calculations for the risk for recurrences to support SDM for surveillance after breast cancer. The implementation and effects of the use of the “Breast Cancer Surveillance Decision Aid” are being investigated in a clinical trial.

Published: September 2022

The complexity of regional disparity has encouraged viewing this issue from various perspectives, one of which is the role of physical geography in disparity. On Java Island, an observation on the role of geographical aspect is needed due to the spatial sturdiness of disparity. This study aims to provide quantitative proof that differences in the physical geography of Java’s regions account for the persistent regional disparity. We applied two approaches namely correlation and typology, employing data of physical geographical attributes and development level. The methods used were correlation analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, and one-way ANOVA. Based on the correlation approach, we found the association of regional development level with terrain ruggedness, soil parent materials, sea depth, elevation, and precipitation. Then, based on endowment-based typology approach, Java’s regions could be grouped into lowland, volcanic, old volcanic, and calcareous dry regions. The two latter performed poorly in all socio-economic indicators examined.

Published: September 2022

Jakarta and Bandung metropolitan areas in Indonesia are experiencing urban expansion, which makes these two metropolitan areas increasingly connected by corridors to become one mega-urban. Karawang and Purwakarta Regencies are part of the Jakarta-Bandung corridor area which then triggers the urban physical development. This study aims to 1) Determine the level of service facilities in Karawang and Purwakarta Regencies; 2) Identify the changes in built-up and paddy fields Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) of Karawang and Purwakarta Regency based on existing and future conditions, and 3) Propose recommendations to control the urban physical development in Karawang and Purwakarta Regency. Analysis of level service facilities was carried out by using the scalogram method. Changes of built-up and paddy fields LULC in the existing and future conditions (projected using the CA-Markov method) are based on LULC of 2005, 2010 and 2018. Recommendations are given based on the grouping of villages with the same characteristics using the quantitative zoning method. Results showed the village development index in 2018 as the level of service facilities indicators, has a high or more developed value in the area around the connecting accessibility route between Jabodetabek and Greater Bandung metropolitan area. Changes in built-up and paddy fields LULC also the same trend as the village development index that is characterized by a fairly large increase in the area of built-up LULC in Karawang and Purwakarta Regencies. Recommendations are given to address specific problems that exist in each village group formed based on the spatial clustering method result.

Infrastructure development is critical to the success of economic growth policies. Remote sensing and GIS tools have an important role to play in the development of various urban infrastructures. Due to the rapid growth of urban population and urbanization, it is necessary to find out the site's suitability for sustainable urban development. The main aim of the study is to study the growth and trend of urbanization, as well as to find out the suitable sites for further urban development in northern Punjab, along the river Jhelum, Pakistan. The study illustrates the use of geographic information system (GIS) and Remote Sensing based techniques i.e. Human Natural Environment Index (HNEI) applied with a foundation of Relief Degree of Land Surface (RDLS), Temperature Humidity Index (THI), Water Resource Index (WRI), and Land Cover Index (LCI) for selection of the suitable site for urban settlements along river Jhelum, Pakistan. For this purpose, Toposheet and Landsat satellite data were used to generate various thematic layers using ArcGIS software. The results were generated in form of five categories i.e., highly suitable, moderately suitable, relatively low suitable, low suitable, and non-suitable. The final results indicated that district Sargodha is most suitable for long-term sustainable urban settlements favored by relief, climate, water availability, land cover scenario, and flood hazard-free area. Eventually, a site suitability map is prepared for further urban development. The present study allows the local people as well as urban planners for the appropriate plans of land use planning in sustainable urban development.

Published: September 2022

ASEAN as a regional organization in Southeast Asia has cooperative relations with state actors and other international organizational actors within the ASEAN+1 framework, one of which is with South Korea. ASEAN relations with South Korea experienced ups and downs due to following the dynamics that occurred on the Korean Peninsula. After the election of Moon Jae In as President of South Korea, the South Korean government emphasized its seriousness to deepen its relations with countries in Southeast Asia and India. This article explains why South Korea has again strengthened its relationship with ASEAN through the New Southern Policy. This study uses the concept of national interest based on English School thinking with a qualitative approach and literature review methods that collect data in the form of books, journals, official government websites, and scientific reports/papers. The results of this study indicate that South Korea has deepened its relationship with ASEAN to realize its national interests in the form of increasing economic cooperation which was affected by the trade war between the United States and China. In addition, South Korea's other national interest is in the form of efforts to achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula through ASEAN member countries that also have bilateral relations with North Korea.

Published: September 2022

Modern ecological problems are considered - pollution of the natural environment with antibiotics and resistance to antimicrobial drugs, when microorganisms mutate and lose susceptibility to antibiotics. The reasons for this dangerous phenomenon are the ever-growing and uncontrolled use of antibiotics in medicine, veterinary medicine and agriculture. Most antibiotics are not completely metabolized in humans and animals, a significant part of the injected drugs enters the water and soil through urban wastewater, animal manure and sewage sludge transported to agricultural fields as fertilizers and pose environmental risks to human health. Assessment of environmental risks from the accumulation of antibiotics in natural waters and food is extremely important for the Baikal natural territory. This is an area that includes Lake Baikal (a World Heritage site), a water protection zone adjacent to Lake Baikal, its catchment basin on the territory of the Russian Federation, natural zones of primary protection adjacent to Lake Baikal, as well as an area about 200 km wide adjacent to Lake Baikal to the west and northwest of it. It may be at potential risk both for endemic species of Lake Baikal and for the population in case of chronic exposure and accumulation of antibiotics in environmental objects. The purpose of this work was a predictive assessment of the environmental risk to public health with direct oral consumption of water, meat and other products grown in an area contaminated with antibiotics. The initial data were the results of monitoring the quality of food products entering the retail network of the Irkutsk region. It was found that on average, an adult resident of the region receives 0.5718 mg/kg of antibiotics daily with food. A child aged 6 to 12 years receives 1.3803 mg/kg of antibiotic daily with food, and a child aged 2 to 6 years receives 2.6686 mg/kg of the substance. Residents of the Baikal region, adults and children aged 2 to 12 years, have a potential environmental health risk as a result of exposure to antibiotics coming with food on the body an order of magnitude higher than the safe level and it is necessary to take actions aimed at minimizing such risks.

Published: September 2022

Wastewater after biological wastewater treatment very often exceeds the natural ability of reservoirs and watercourses to self-purify. Increasing requirements for the environmental safety of wastewater discharge into natural water bodies determines the particular relevance of improving technological methods and wastewater treatment facilities. In the world practice of post-treatment, preliminary filtration and filtration are rightfully considered one of the most effective methods. At the same time, one of the most common devices used in post-treatment of wastewater are sand filters with granular filter material, the effectiveness of which is often overestimated. The problems of post-treatment of wastewater by filtration using sand filters with a granular filter load are considered, the main problems that arise when using such devices are considered without taking into account the features of post-treatment processes in the presence of organic matter in highly dispersed colloidal forms. Substantiated are additional requirements for reducing the concentration of toxic substances when discharging wastewater into natural water bodies and minimizing changes in the conditions for the development of the biocenosis of these objects. The reasons for the insufficient efficiency of wastewater post-treatment on sand filters, including the reasons for the increase in the content of organic substances in the filtrate after post-treatment, are determined. The main criteria for the effective use of filtering devices in wastewater treatment systems are formulated.

Published: September 2022

A risk-based approach in food safety monitoring suggests that the number analysis of contaminants and (or) products depends on the risk caused by product contamination, first of all for consumer health and economic (prevention of unsafe products realization). Risk-oriented sampling, planning and assignment of studies can be opposed with representative, aimed at obtaining reliable information about the contamination of the main types of products and conducted taking into account the requirements of mathematical statistics. The core of the various risk-based approaches as a rule is the ranking of contaminants/groups of contaminants and combinations of «contaminant-product» according to the risk degree. Ranking algorithms may be subdivided into qualitative (verbal characteristics) and quantitative (scores estimation). Algorithms for food chemical contaminants ranking proposed by authority agencies of the most successful in food safety countries are reviewed in this paper. The proposed approaches have a certain (sometimes limited) scope of application and provide scientifically based data for enhance compound control, unite toxicological characteristics, consumption, identification, and other information about xenobiotics. A serious limitation of the ranking effectiveness may be missing data of veterinary drugs (antibiotics) residues below maximum permissible level. There are additional but important criteria for health risk, the ability of drugs to cause pathogenic microorganisms’ resistance for the example.

Published: September 2022

Fluctuating asymmetry of the hanging birch ( Betula pendula Roth), black poplar ( Populus nigra L . ), common ash ( Fraxinus excelsior L . ), common maple ( Acer platanoides L . ), common lilac ( Syringa vulgaris ) was evaluated as an integral measure based on five morphometric features of the plate. Samples of the leaf apparatus were taken at each point of technogenic load from the lower part of the crown of several close-growing trees of Betula pendula Roth, Populus nigra, Fraxinus, Acer platanoides and Syringa randomly select 30 intact leaves from each tree. In the future, calculations of the coefficient of fluctuating asymmetry were carried out in order to obtain an average value that determines the quality of the air environment corresponding to a certain score. An attempt was also made to find the correlation relationship of each bilateral feature with the average coefficient of fluctuating asymmetry. As a result, the correlation coefficient was equal to one, which corresponds to a high correlation. Considering this circumstance, it was decided to find a connection between the correlation dependence of the fluctuating asymmetry of the hanging birch with the fluctuating asymmetry of the leaf apparatus of poplar, maple, ash and lilac. The correlation coefficients were close to one, which made it possible to compile regression equations, with the help of which air quality assessment scales were compiled.

Published: September 2022

Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) weaves together rigor and relevance while it improves student achievement and engagement. The Philippine Department of Education implemented Indigenous People’s education to respond to the demands for culturally responsive teaching. Teacher education graduates are expected to articulate the rootedness of education in sociocultural contexts in creating a learning environment that recognizes respect, connectedness, choice, personal relevance, challenges, engagement, authenticity, and effectiveness. Practice teachers need relevant exposure and immersion to fully develop their competence in CRT. This scenario necessitates attention to assessing the competence of 191 practice teachers in CRT, correlating their competence across dimensions, and verifying the role of gender and degree programs in competence development. This investigation provides evidence on the role of gender in competence development toward culturally responsive teaching. Such competence is vital in practice teachers, especially because they are exposed to learners with diverse backgrounds during their teaching internship. This evidence informs supervising instructors in molding practice teachers.

Characterizing Regionalism in Asia: A Modern Global Supply Chain Perspective
Authors: Wei Shang-Jin , Yu Xinding
Published: September 2022

This paper quantifies economic interdependence among Asian economies and between Asia and the rest of the world using a modern global value chain decomposition framework. It shows that global value chain linkages in value-added terms across economies have grown faster than value-added linkages through final goods trade. Stronger value-added linkages between two economies tends to make it more likely for the pair to have membership in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership or Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Profit Shifting during Foreign Tax Holidays

Published: September 2022

We undertake the first empirical analysis of profit shifting by U.S. firms during foreign tax holidays. We show that foreign tax holidays have become a prevalent and powerful tax planning strategy among U.S. firms. We find that U.S. firms significantly increase their outbound profit shifting while participating in foreign tax holidays. However, we also find that profit shifting associated with tax holidays comes at the cost of increased tax uncertainty. Our results have important implications for policy making and for understanding firm behavior.

In our previous data-driven analysis of evolving patterns of islet autoantibodies (IAb) against insulin (IAA), GAD (GADA), and islet antigen 2 (IA-2A), we discovered three trajectories, characterized according to multiple IAb (TR1), IAA (TR2), or GADA (TR3) as the first appearing autoantibodies. Here we examined the evolution of IAb levels within these trajectories in 2,145 IAb-positive participants followed from early life and compared those who progressed to type 1 diabetes (n = 643) with those remaining undiagnosed (n = 1,502). With use of thresholds determined by 5-year diabetes risk, four levels were defined for each IAb and overlaid onto each visit. In diagnosed participants, high IAA levels were seen in TR1 and TR2 at ages <3 years, whereas IAA remained at lower levels in the undiagnosed. Proportions of dwell times (total duration of follow-up at a given level) at the four IAb levels differed between the diagnosed and undiagnosed for GADA and IA-2A in all three trajectories (P < 0.001), but for IAA dwell times differed only within TR2 (P < 0.05). Overall, undiagnosed participants more frequently had low IAb levels and later appearance of IAb than diagnosed participants. In conclusion, while it has long been appreciated that the number of autoantibodies is an important predictor of type 1 diabetes, consideration of autoantibody levels within the three autoimmune trajectories improved differentiation of IAb-positive children who progressed to type 1 diabetes from those who did not.

This study discusses various pro-LGBT arguments based on QS. al-Hujurat[49]:13 and QS. al-A’raf [7]: 80-84 and QS. Hud [11]:77-82. Then, the location of their mistakes in interpreting the verse is explained by showing Muslim commentators’ views on the verses used as arguments. To find out the strength and measure the scientificity of these arguments. From this problem, this research will discuss the arguments of LGBT supporters, which are justified by the verses they quote. The method used in this research is the descriptive method and critical analysis. The results of this study can be concluded in several points; First, LGBT and homosexuals have the same conception. Second, the arguments of LGBT supporters seem compelling. Third, the arguments based on the verses of the Qur’an seem far-fetched because there is no strong argument to reject the interpretation of the mufassir. Finally, the partial understanding of LGBT supporters does not reach the essence or content of the verse
On Imam Ghazālī's Farḍ ‘Ain and Farḍ Kifāyah: An Epistemological Approach
Authors: Saleh Sujiat Zubaidi , Taqiyuddin Muhammad , Hidayatullah Rakhmad Agung
Published: September 2022

Imam Ghazālī is the main originator of an integrative Islamic epistemology-based classification of knowledge. Where, the formulation begins with the elaboration of Islamic scientific schools, namely: Kalām, Falsafah, Bāṭinī, and Sufism. This article critically describes the epistemological elements in al-Ghazālī's view. This research is library research. This study concludes that Imam Ghazālī through the classification of his knowledge wants to clarify, that even though all these paths are valid and can be harmonized. This is what prompted Imam Ghazāl to prioritize Sūfī epistemology, where sharia, aqdah and morals in Islam are practiced at the level of ihsān as the main way. Thus, the essential elements related to the classification of knowledge are closely related to the four schools plus the flow of fiqh that he has studied since the beginning of his time of studying. More interestingly, this classification of knowledge can prevent Muslims from being disrupted by epistemology in this contemporary era by remaining based on recognized sources of Islamic epistemology
Application of Ijmālī Method In Exegesis (Sharḥ) The Hadith of The Prophet: Analysis of the Book of Hadith using the Ijmālī Method
Authors: Qomarullah Muhammad
Published: September 2022

The Ijmālī method in interpreting hadith or Sharḥ hadith is an old method for interpreting the Qur'an as done by previous scholars. This Ijmālī method includes a method that does not require a fairly in-depth discussion of the hadith, but the sharah of the hadith is sufficient globally and is only general in nature. This article aims to explain the sharah of hadith by using the Ijmālī method as a method of discussing interpretations. This article is a library research. The results showed that the application of this method using a language approach, then briefly using another hadith with the same narrator as bi al-ma'na, discussed the meaning globally and not in depth. For this reason, supporting sciences such as language, 'Ulumul Qurān, and 'Ulumul Hadith are needed for someone who is called a scholar to explain the Sharḥ of hadith, such as riwāyah science and Dirāyah science as well as Gharīb al-Ḥad Science in Ma'āni al-Ḥadīṡ Science. The disadvantage of the Ijmālī Method is that someone who wants to explore the meaning of hadith cannot gain deep and thorough knowledge
Eco-Theology of Water from the Perspective of Hadith: Thematic Study of Al-Mā' Term
Authors: Dahlan Achmad , Asrul Asrul
Published: September 2022

Water is a vital natural resource for human life. The study of water has attracted the attention of scholars and scientists along with the ongoing destruction of nature. The combination of the two viewpoints of scientists and clergy on environmental issues led to a new study called eco-theology. This fact encourages researchers to conduct research on water eco-theology from a hadith perspective. The purpose of this study is to formulate the concept of the relationship between religious texts (hadith) and the environment which has become the biggest problem of mankind today. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach, namely reading and exploring references related to the theme of the study. The results of the study show that the study of the term al-mā' in the texts of the prophet's hadith includes three main aspects, namely joint ownership of water (social function), oriented towards survival (ecological function), and water conservation (conservation function). The findings in this study are (1) attached to the social dimension of water, both regarding the basic needs of humans, and animals, including for agriculture to disaster emergencies. (2) water has an important role in the formation of ecology that encourages the emergence of human awareness to treat water well for the realization of an ideal living environment. (3) saving water from the threat of damage is also an important part of the Prophet's hadith about al-mā'. These three aspects confirm the relationship between religious texts and science.

Minimnya pengembangan media pembelajaran dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam menjadi topik yang diangkat dalam penelitian ini. Dalam proses belajar mengajar, guru tetap menggunakan pendekatan tradisional seperti metode ceramah. Akibatnya, fungsi otak tidak sebaik yang diharapkan. Hanya otak kiri yang digunakan dalam pembelajaran gaya ceramah, sedangkan otak kanan tetap tidak aktif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menilai hubungan antara media pembelajaran berbasis neuroscience dengan peningkatan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi (HOTS) pada anak berdasarkan pemikiran tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan perpustakaan, yaitu mengkaji dan menganalisis dokumen, buku, dan artikel tentang media pembelajaran, neurologi, dan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi (HOTS). Pemanfaatan media pembelajaran berbasis neuroscience sangat penting dalam kegiatan pembelajaran pendidikan agama Islam, menurut temuan penelitian ini. Hal ini karena otak manusia akan berfungsi secara maksimal jika neuroscience diintegrasikan ke dalam media pembelajaran. Media audio yang diolah oleh lobus temporal otak, media visual yang diolah oleh lobus oksipital otak, dan materi audiovisual yang diolah oleh lobus temporal merupakan contoh media pembelajaran dalam pendidikan agama Islam yang dapat meningkatkan fungsi otak. serta lobus oksipital otak.

In the golden era of Islam, poetry as a part of Arabic literature continued to develop and still exists today. Arabic poetry is widely used by nuhats as a source of taking nahwu rules. The purpose of this study is to reveal the role of poetry in taking the nahwu rules that are currently developing. This research employs descriptive qualitative research method. This research is a literature study related to the role of poetry in taking nahwu rules. The research data were analyzed by content analysis method with the aim of describing the content in detail. The results of the study show that sama’ has been one of the arguments/sources in creating rules in nahwu science. Sama’ is divided into three, they are the Qur'an, hadith and the sayings of Arabs in the poetry and prose. The poetry is widely used as hujjah or argument in nahwu rules by the nahwu scholars of various madzhabs, whether used as main arguments or supporting arguments, for which the main arguments are from the Qur'an and Hadith. Meanwhile, according to Arab scholars, literature occupies the third position as the most fluent Arabic language after the language of the Qur'an and Hadith. In addition to adding treasures in the study of Arabic literature, this research is expected to open more attention of Arab scholars to Arabic literary works such as poetry in developing easy nahwu rules. In addition, to add treasures to the study of Arabic literature, this research is expected to open more attention of Arab scholars to Arabic literary works such as poetry in developing easy nahwu rules.

Students' digital literacy is very urgent for online learning and requires learning activities for habituation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparison of project activity processes and digital literacy, between learning using electronic workbench and PhET simulation. This research method uses a quasi-experimental design, the sample consists of two groups, namely 29 students in the experimental group and 31 students in the control groupselected through purposive sampling techniqueThe data collection technique used a concept understanding test part of digital literacy, observation of the results of project activities and questionnaires about digital literacy. The data analysis technique used inferential analysis and quantitative descriptive analysis. This study uses two applications, namely electronic workbench in the experimental group and PhET simulation in the control group. The differences identified from the aspect of understanding concepts part of digital literacy and practical procedures. This research shows that the practicum process in a virtual laboratory using an electronic workbench N-gain a better conceptual understanding of literacy and laboratory skills related to practical procedures. In the process of implementing the practicum using an electronic workbench, experience is obtained in carrying out more thorough and accurate practicum procedures. In addition, this virtual practicum requires an adequate understanding of the concept of electronic components and the relationship between the measured electrical quantities.

This research aims to determine expert opinions on the feasibility of high school physics enrichment modules with 21st-century skills based on ethnopedagogy and determine the product's attractiveness. This research employed RD research in conjunction with ADDIE development models. The research subjects were senior high school students from MAN 1 Bandar Lampung, SMA Negeri 12 Bandar Lampung, and SMA Negeri 5 Bandar Lampung. The data collection techniques were questionnaires for expert validation: material expert, media expert, and cultural expert. Then the researchers also distributed student questionnaires. The findings of this study are as follows: 1) the final product met the excellent criteria, 2) the product's attractiveness met the excellent criteria, and 3) the teachers’ responses indicated that the product belonged to the excellent criteria. As a physics learning product, the high school physics enrichment modules with 21st-century skills based on ethnopedagogy were appropriate and attractive to use. It is suggested that further researchers develop learning material other than local Lampung culture and traditional Lampung games so that the physics concepts will differ.

Es una invitación a sumergirse en el paradigma relacional de las tecnologías. Convoca a interpelar, diseñar, planificar y poner en acto nuevos ambientes de aprendizaje, reconociendo las ventajas de la tecnología como herramienta relacional y cognitiva en contraposición al paradigma instrumental en el cual se encuadran gran parte de las experiencias educativas.
The detection of three new Haemaphysalis ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) in Singapore and their potential threat for public health, companion animals, and wildlife
Authors: Kwak Mackenzie L. , Ng Abigail
Published: September 2022

Efforts to safeguard human and animal health against ticks and tick-borne diseases are principally reliant on careful surveillance. Within Singapore, the importance of ticks and tick-borne diseases is increasingly recognized. However, developing foundational knowledge of the local diversity of ticks and tick-borne microbes, as well as their ecology, is ongoing. Nation-wide surveillance efforts revealed the presence of three previously unreported species of Haemaphysalis from Singapore, namely: H. bispinosa, H. hystricis, and H. wellingtoni. All three species are known to feed on humans and appear to have established populations within Singapore. We record the first infestation of humans by H. hystricis and H. wellingtoni within Singapore and present all known local host records from these three newly detected tick species. The threat posed by these species to local public health, companion animals, and wildlife is discussed.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of amino acids L-proline and L-alanine on growth performance, amino acid, and fatty acid levels in the fillet of juvenile common carp. Four hundred and fifty juvenile common carp were randomly distributed in 30 tanks and fed with three levels of proline (5 [P5], 10 [P10], and 15 [P15] g/kg), three levels of alanine [A] (5 [A5], 10 [A10], and 15 [A15] g/kg), three levels of proline-alanine combination [PA] (2.5 + 2.5 [2.5PA], 5 + 5 [5PA], 7.5 + 7.5 [7.5PA] g/kg feed) and basal diet (control). The highest body weight gain (25.85 ± 0.1 g) and survival rate (91.11 ± 3.84) were observed in 7.5 PA treatment. The highest protein content (64.58 ± 0.49) was noticed in 2.5 PA; however, compared to combined treatments (5 PA and 2.5 PA), it did not show any significant difference (P<0.05). The highest total amount of essential amino acids (48.30 ± 48.3) was observed in 7.5 PA treatment. The highest amount of DHA (5.65 ± 0.08), total EPA, and DHA (8.91 ± 0.13) were in 7.5 PA treatment. Finally, it can be concluded that two amino acids L-proline and L-alanine at the combined level of 5 PA can improve the growth performance, survival, and fillet composition in the juvenile common carp.
