Published: January 2022

Los rendimientos de chile jalapeño en Quintana Roo son bajos y el tamaño del fruto es una limitante en la comercialización, el cambio del sistema de producción puede incrementar la competitividad de la cadena de valor del chile jalapeño, una estrategia para el mejoramiento de la productividad y calidad de fruto es la utilización de material genético con mejores características.Los objetivos del trabajo fueron conocer la calidad del fruto que se obtiene en Quintana Roo con las variedades criollas utilizadas y evaluar el potencial de rendimiento y la calidad de fruto de variedades comerciales en sistemas de agricultura protegida.En diciembre de 2019 se hizo un muestreo de frutos en parcelas del sur de Quintana Roo, los frutos colectados se evaluaron por forma y el tamaño. De las colectas se seleccionaron los frutos que tenían buenas características de acuerdo con los productores, se extrajo la semilla para establecer estos materiales en enero de 2020 en invernadero, se evaluó la forma y tamaño del fruto y se compararon con las características de los frutos colectados.  En febrero de 2020 se evaluaron 7 variedades comerciales en invernadero, se evaluó el rendimiento en toneladas por hectárea, tamaño de fruto y color de fruto.Se encontró que la producción de chile jalapeño en Quintana Roo presentó una amplia variación en la forma del fruto y su clasificación por tamaño fue de frutos medianos y chicos.  La calidad del fruto de los materiales criollos cultivados a cielo abierto bajo condiciones de temporal no mejoró al cambiar su cultivo a invernadero en condiciones de riego. Las variedades comerciales evaluadas presentaron uniformidad en la forma del fruto y superaron en tamaño a los frutos procedentes de los muestreos de las parcelas de Quintana Roo. Mixteco y Orizaba fueron las variedades más productiva (21 ton/ha).

Influence of anthropogenic factors on the geographical distribution of triatomine vectors of Chagas Disease / Influência de fatores antropogênicos na distribuição geográfica de triatomíneos vetores da Doença de Chagas
Authors: Eduardo Anderson A. , Santos Lucas A. B. O. , Rebouças Mônica C. , Martinez Pablo A.
Published: January 2022

Estudos anteriores sobre a doença de Chagas em grandes escalas espaciais não exploraram como a interação com humanos pode afetar as projeções para a distribuição geográfica da aptidão ambiental das espécies de vetores. Aqui, comparamos modelos de distribuição de espécies usando apenas variáveis climáticas como preditores (SDMClim) com modelos que incluem variáveis climáticas + densidade populacional humana (SDMHuman). Nossos resultados mostram que considerar a densidade da população humana ajuda a refinar os modelos para escalas geográficas mais finas. Além disso, diferentes padrões espaciais de adequabilidade ambiental acumulada foram obtidos por SDMClim e SDMHuman. Ainda, as projeções foram mais precisas para SDMHuman do que para SDMClim. Nossos resultados mostram que considerar fatores antropogênicos em SDMs para espécies de triatomianos epidemiologicamente relevantes pode melhorar nossa compreensão da macroecologia e biogeografia para vetores da doença de Chagas.

As dermatopatias imunomediadas são aquelas que decorrem da produção de anticorpos ou da ativação de linfócitos contra algum componente próprio da pele. São doenças pouco observadas na rotina da clínica de pequenos animais, sendo mais frequente em cães do que em gatos. Esse trabalho tem por objetivo relatar dois casos de pênfigo foliáceo em cães causando blefarite, demonstrando os sinais clínicos, tratamento e prognóstico dos dois animais. Foram atendidos no Hospital Veterinário - FCAV/UNESP de Jaboticabal dois pacientes caninos, uma fêmea poodle de 11 anos e um Golden Retriever macho de três anos, ambos com sinais de blefarite bilateral com presença de crostas, alopecia e eritema. Em ambos os casos foram realizados exames hematológicos, bioquímicos séricos e dermatológicos sem alterações dignas de nota e o diagnóstico só pôde ser obtido através da biópsia cutânea com posterior exame histopatológico que confirmou o diagnóstico de blefarite imunomediada secundária a pênfigo foliáceo pela presença de acantólise intraepidérmica. Foi instituído tratamento imunossupressor sistêmico com prednisona e associado ao tratamento tópico com pomada oftálmica de tacrolimus, onde os dois pacientes apresentaram uma boa resposta clínica. O prognóstico para ambos os casos foi excelente e após três anos de acompanhamento todos pacientes apresentavam-se em remissão completa da doença.

Authors: Fuentes-Hernández Victor Octavio
Published: January 2022

La metritis en ganado lechero es el resultado de muchos factores tanto ambientales como de manejo, pero lo más importante es la presencia de bacterias causantes de metritis que se vuelven resistentes a los antibióticos que hasta la fecha se utilizan para restaurar el ambiente uterino a un estado de normalidad. En este trabajo se usó un extracto cítrico adsorbido a una nano partícula de Titanio (NANOCIT). En dos instalaciones ganaderas de producción de leche se medicaron vía intrauterina con CITNAN vacas lecheras con diagnóstico de metritis. Se observó que el uso de NANOCIT fue efectivo para el control de metritis con solo una o dos infusiones de NANOCIT. Al comparar con tratamientos utilizando antibióticos, y con los cuales la metritis fue controlada después de dos a tres días de aplicación del fármaco, el resultado fue altamente significativo en favor del uso de NANOCIT para el control de este padecimiento. Este avance tecnológico presenta una alternativa eco sustentable para el tratamiento de la metritis en ganado lechero.

Published: January 2022

Introdução: A infraordem Platyrrhini é composta por espécies que apresentam estrutura social complexa, mas são escassas na literatura informações a cerca de sua interação com a morte, como já registrado para primatas do velho mundo. Trata-se este trabalho de um relato de comportamento de evitação de morte registrado em um grupo de Callithrix penicillata (E. Geoffroy, 1812) (Primates, Callitrichidae). Material e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo feito por meio de observação oportunística de uma interação entre uma mãe e seu filhote, acidentalmente ferido e em leito de morte. A descrição detalhada do fenômeno ocorreu via amostragem de todas as ocorrências, e contou com depoimento de moradores locais. Para melhor exposição dos dados, foi realizado a construção de um etograma, contendo todos os comportamentos observados, em sequência, desde o início ao final da amostragem. Resultados: Ao todo, 10 indivíduos participaram das observações, e 16 atos comportamentais foram observados ao longo de 6 dias de observação da interação mãe-filhote ferido-demais indivíduos. Os comportamentos indicaram alto grau de estresse por parte de todos os envolvidos, assim como tentativa da mãe de retirar seu filhote da área em que se encontrava.  A mãe também tentou recolocá-lo em suas costas. Houve ainda chamada de outros indivíduos do grupo, possivelmente para auxiliar nos cuidados ao filhote. Conclusão: Este trabalho é inédito para a espécie em questão e reafirma seu caráter social. As observações abrem espaços para novas investigações a cerca de comportamentos similares em primatas humanos e não humanos, assim como da relação filogenética entre eles.

Salt-free Chromium Tanning: Practical Approaches
Authors: Sathish M. , Aravindhan R. , Rao J. Raghava
Published: January 2022

Chromium tanning finds a prominant place in leather manufacturing for permanent stabilization of hide/skin matrix. Though, it has multiple advantages in terms of high thermal stability, easy process and low cost etc., the current practice is not environmentally sustainable. Poor chromium exhaustion and TDS load generation are the major environmental threats of conventional chromium tanning systems. On the other hand, salt-free chromium tanning is identified as one of the efficient alternative approaches for hide/skin matrix stabilization. However, it has not been commercially practiced due to the several practical difficulties. In this work attempts have been made to develop a practically viable high-performance salt-free chromium tanning system using deliming liquor as tanning float and changing the order of addition of masking salt. The developed methodologies completely avoid the use of salt/basification process and it is suitable for all kinds of raw materials and tannery houses. Besides, the process enjoys 71-77% reduction in TDS load and the uptake of chromium is around 90%. The physical strength characteristics are on par with conventional process and the leathers exhibit good grain tightness and roundness. The developed methodologies are simple and do not require any specialty chemicals.

Published: January 2022

Researchers around the world are in continuous endeavor to develop environment friendly tanning agent due to adverse effect of conventionally used chromium during leather tanning. Recent trend of tanning is thus heading to chrome-free and greener chemical processing options. Vegetable tanning is an exoteric leather processing technique because of their lower pollution load on the environment. Considering the inadequacy and high costing for the commercialized tannins, development of alternative tannins from locally available plants and their characterizations are important. In this research, the stem barks of Trema Orientalis (L.) were extracted at different temperatures employing water solvent with or without additives (sodium hydroxide or sodium sulphite) to attain phenolic-rich extractives. To ascertain appropriateness as a vegetable tanning agent, the obtained extracts were thereafter characterized in respect to yield, total phenolic content, tannin content and molecular structure. The extraction yield for all extracts improves and the quality remains nearly unchanged with temperature rising. The elevated concentration of chemical additives enhances the extraction yield but lessens the quality of extracts. In terms of extraction yield and the quality of extracts the best condition for extraction was discerned at 80°C with water solvent. This water extract has a decent extent of phenolic and tannin content of 266.13 mg Gallic acid equivalent/ gm of dry extract and 30.12 % respectively. The final extract exhibits excellent leather retanning tendency comparable to the commercial quebracho tannins.

Published: January 2022

Reading deficiency in reading English texts or materials among ESL undergraduate students has been one of the most significant problems in Malaysia. Educators in Malaysia are currently facing the problem as it reflects on their students’ academic performance. This study aims to investigate Malaysian ESL undergraduate students’ reading difficulties in reading English texts. 25 Malaysian students who are taking advanced English courses in a university, were selected to participate in this study. A quantitative method was employed for this study. The questionnaires were designed to fit the purpose of this study. Data analysis was done using SPSS to analyse the data collected. The result shows that students are weak in grasping the main idea when they are reading, having poor vocabulary, lack of reading habit and interest in reading English texts, and are pressured with the lack of time when reading. It can be concluded that reading deficiency affects their academic performance and their English proficiency. In overcoming their difficulties, students must equip themselves with some reading strategies to help them to comprehend the English texts that they are reading.
TRANSLATION PEDAGOGY VERSUS PEDAGOGICAL TRANSLATION IN LANGUAGE LEARNING
Authors: Nik Mohamed Nik Zaitun , Ab Aziz Ameiruel Azwan , Kamlun Kamsilawati , Othman Irma Wani
Published: January 2022

This conceptual paper presents the review of literatures of a study related to Translation in Language Teaching (TILT) and Translation Training, It reviews related literature on translation theories and practices in bilingual/multilingual classrooms as well. The interplay of translation, multilingualism, multiculturalism and globalisation in today’s ESL pedagogical reality demands translation to be employed in improving students’ English language proficiency. Unfortunately, research indicates that teachers do not possess adequate knowledge on appropriate translation models to enable them to perform translation in language teaching (TILT). As a result, they ended up employing unplanned code switching and code-mixing techniques throughout their English language lessons. Studies have shown that translation educators also do not possess adequate competencies in training language teachers to translate due to discrepancy between the chosen modules and teachers’ motivation. As a result, teachers failed to understand the purpose of such training. This conceptual paper, thus, attempts to conjure up two important concepts in translation studies: Pedagogical translation and translation pedagogy. Translation Pedagogy refers to the acquired knowledge on how to translate, whereas pedagogical translation refers to the actual process or practice of translation either in written or verbal form. The relevance of these two concepts in TILT are highlighted and discussed throughout this paper. A translation model is suggested as a guideline in providing training in TILT area. The result of this upcoming study may provide a direction in translation training for language teachers in Malaysia. It suggests that the concepts of Pedagogical Translation (PT) and Translation Pedagogy (TP) should be incorporated into translation training modules. By doing so, both translation trainers and teacher trainees are able to understand the actual processes of translation itself in TILT.

The article reviewed the relationship between language competency and business opportunity in five global regional trading blocs. By having the language competency may facilitate the business opportunity but language differences may create frictions between the business partners and/or the workers. Besides for the purpose of communication, language use in the business world may enhance trust and loyalty between business partners and from the customers. Different linguistic landscapes are formed and dominated by different language communities in the global business world. Five important languages used in the global business world which are English, Mandarin, Spanish, German and Portuguese, are reviewed according to their regional trading blocs. Malaysian authority specifically the Malaysian Education Ministry is suggested to design and adapt more practical and relevant education language plan to produce graduates with different language competencies for the future human resource market. The authority is also suggested to create a favourable institutional environment for variant language use in the country.

Self-regulation is a necessary component of developing skilled writers. Self-regulation, on the other hand, is rarely discussed in Malaysian ESL contexts, particularly in terms of ESL writing. This quasi-experimental study evaluated an ESL writing instructional module based on self-regulation with the goal of improving secondary school students' narrative writing. This study, which was conducted as part of a larger study, presented the results of the pilot study. The findings indicated statistically significant improvements in the students' overall writing performance and in each of the four components of writing, namely content, communicative appropriateness, organisation, and language. The findings indicated that the self-regulation-based writing instructional module was effective at improving students' overall writing performance and performance in each of the four writing aspects. Future studies should include a larger sample size, extend the duration of the intervention, and investigate additional variables such as gender and level of proficiency.

ESL learners have varying perceptions towards their English language learning experience because no one student is alike with the other. Gender differences is an important aspect of ESL learners’ identity which is frequently overlooked because English curriculums and teaching methods are usually carried out in classrooms with a one-size-fits-all concept, and does not cater to the different needs and learning styles of their students. This study aims to determine whether gender plays a significant role in shaping ESL learners’ perceptions towards English language learning. This study was conducted via the systematic literature review method. A total of ten literatures were chosen for inclusion in this study based on specified criteria and gathered from various online journal databases. Based on the results, it was found that gender does play an important role on ESL learners’ perception due to societal and environment factors that feed into stereotypical gender roles. Also, the inherent biological and psychological differences between males and females can affect ESL learners’ perceptions and attitudes when learning English.

The entrepreneurial element has now emerged as one of the important pillars in designing appropriate attributes and structures of the academic curriculum covering varied disciplines in all fields of studies in Malaysia’s higher education institutions. This study was conducted in Perlis’s Islamic University College (KUIPs) campus aimed at understanding these attributes and the entrepreneurship cultural awareness of students’ in initiating and identifying appropriate entrepreneurial activities before completing their studies. The study was qualitative in nature involving a group of 20 students randomly chosen from four (4) faculties in KUIPs. Students were interviewed using instant message routes because of the restrictions imposed by authorities in addressing concerns a rising from the COVID 19 pandemic, where face-to-face interviews were disallowed due to health and security factors. The objectives of this study were 1) What are the factors that encourage students to become entrepreneurs on campus? and 2) What are the constraints facing students in becoming entrepreneurs on campus? The results of the study found that there were 3 main factors attributing to students’ keen interest to venture into entrepreneurial activities in KUIPs, namely a) keen interest to initiate own business and aspiring to be an entrepreneur after graduation, b) meeting students’ basic needs (social entrepreneurship), and c) able to earn extra income to defray living and study expenses. There were 3 constraints discovered in becoming entrepreneurs, namely a) Capital, b) Suitable Location, and c) Business Skills to start entrepreneurial activities (entrepreneurial knowledge/skills). The results of this study are most beneficial to those involved in the management of entrepreneurial affairs of students, students themselves, and lastly for the Faculty of Business and Management Sciences in KUIPs (in understanding the current attributes and constraints), there by enabling the faculty to design appropriate entrepreneurship programs and activities in order to nurture and create entrepreneurship cultural awareness for future students.

Algebraic thinking skills are one of the elements emphasized in the benchmarking of PISA (Program for International Student Assessment). However, the algebraic thinking skills among students were found to be still at a very weak level. The purpose of this study was to look at the effect of the bar model method on students’ algebraic thinking skills. Pre-test and post -test were used as research instruments. The study was an experimental study conducted on 90 Form One students from a school in Tuaran District, Sabah. This study used a quasi-experimental design of pre-and post-test. The sample was divided into 3 groups, namely the group of learning methods i) Bar Model (MB, n = 30), ii) Bar Model and Cooperative Learning (MBPK, n = 30), and conventional (TR, n = 30). Statistical inference test, One-way Analysis of Variances Test (ANOVA) was used to analyze the findings of this study. The results of one-way ANOVA analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the mean score of the post-test between the MB group, MBPK group, and TR group (F (2, 87) = 9.316, p <.05). Significant differences in mean scores for post-test could only be seen between TR group with MB group (P = 0.019) and between TR group with MBPK group (P = 0.000) while insignificant differences were shown between MB and MBPK group (P = 0.304). Therefore, it is suggested that mathematics teachers use the Bar Model as a teaching aid to improve students' algebraic thinking skills.

However, problems that are often faced by Arabic language lecturers are less confident in producing aspects of multimedia teaching content. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to develop the content model of teaching Arabic in MOOC using Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) technique. A total of 14 elements identified by the agreement of 7 experts for the content model of Arabic MOOC which was generated through ISM software. Based on the findings, there are two most important elements; the element of determine topics, objectives, and learning outcomes for students to understand better the purpose of learning and element of ensure course materials use the appropriate type of writing for students' understanding while this model ends with the element of providing comment space to encouraged interaction among learners and lecturers. It is hoped that the study could be a reference and suggestion to Arabic lecturers in using the MOOC as a teaching platform while increase the effectiveness of MOOC implementation in Malaysian higher education institutions.

Parents play an important role in shaping the academic achievement of their children. This study aimed to investigate the association between parental factors and university students’ academic self-efficacy and academic achievement, and the correlation between academic self-efficacy and the academic achievement of university students within the context of Malaysia. The cross-sectional study recruited participants using an online questionnaire, which included demographic information such as age, current education status, current working status, Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) and parents’ monthly income, the Parental Encouragement Scale (PES), and Academic Self-efficacy (ASE) Scale. A total of 196 participants responded to the survey. The results of the Pearson’s correlation showed that parental encouragement was positively correlated with academic self-efficacy (r (196)=.144, p=.044), whilst academic self-efficacy was positively correlated with CGPA (r (196) = .241, p=.001). The multiple linear regression model showed that part-time working status (β=-.184, p=.008) and academic self-efficacy (β=.252, p<.001) were significantly associated with CGPA. Parents should be encouraged and trained to develop academic self-efficacy in their children.
