Authors: Konieczynski Pawel , Lysiuk Roman , Kopistecka Marlena , Wesolowski Marek
Published: December 2021

Purpose: Medicinal plants can origin both from their cultivation, and from collection in natural locations, therefore investigation of their chemical composition is indispensable for assuring the appropriate quality. Thus, the aim of the studies was evaluation of medicinal plants collected in natural locations in Ukraine in the light of their elemental contents, taking into consideration both essential elements - P, Cu, Zn, Fe, and toxic – Cr, Pb, Cd and Ni. Methods: The microwave-assisted digestion was applied for preparation of the samples prior to analysis of plant samples to quantitative determination of investigated elements by the flame technique of atomic absorption spectroscopy. Results: The results of studies show that there is a large differentiation of medicinal herbs originating from Ukraine from the point of view of their elemental contents. In many cases, e.g. birch leaves, the impact of botanical plant species on the level of elements was crucial. Hence, the loadings of principal components confirmed that the highest influence on the differentiation of studied plant samples had the concentrations of Cr, Zn, Cd and Fe. The impact of a place of growth on the level of selected elements such as Cd and Fe in St John’s wort was noticed, too. The analysis of toxic metals concentration in all studied plant samples has also shown that Pb and Cd level didn’t exceed the norms established by the European Union Commission in 2006. Conclusion: It is recommended to monitor heavy metals concentrations in medicinal herbs originating from Ukraine available in the European pharmaceutical market.

Authors: Rajeswar Shreyas , S Narasimhan
Published: December 2021

Drought is one of the most commonly faced significant factors that impede plant productivity and growth. Especially in the context of agriculture, crop productivity and sustainable farming are most adversely affected by water shortage conditions caused by drought. Plants have several adaptations to respond to such conditions, both physiological as well as metabolic. An understanding of these adaptations is essential to develop a biotechnological solution to the problem of drought-related crop losses across the globe. This review addresses the various changes that plants undergo when subjected PEG (Polyethylene glycol). Various drought stress markers are associated with PEG induced stress are expressed in the biochemistry, physiology, photosynthesis and metabolism of the plant. Therefore PEG treatment in plants are considered as an effective model for drought stress investigation.

Violent Extremism in the Northern Frontier Counties of Kenya: Exploring Human Security as a Sustainable Countering Strategy
Authors: Guyo Adi
Published: December 2021

The contemporary rise of terrorism as a form of violent extremism has led the government to adopt a narrow state-centric security approach to mitigate these threats. Violent extremism compromises peace, security, and communal cohesion, and often thrives on human security deficits such as marginalisation and disenfranchisement from the decision-making processes. The prominence of a state-centric security approach has overshadowed the human security dimension of countering violent extremism, thereby compromising state-society relations. On the contrary, a human security approach which entails freedom from fear and freedom from want, is viewed as a holistic approach to security that secures both the state and society. Less debated, however, is the relationship between countering violent extremism and societal marginalisation as viewed through the lens of human security. This paper argues that the narrow state-centric approach adopted by the Kenyan government in the Northern Frontier Counties has continually marginalised the community living in these counties and is proving unsustainable in countering violent extremism. As a point of departure from this approach, a more human security centred approach is suggested which is likely to be more sustainable in countering violent extremism and more successful in reversing the trend of marginalisation that has arisen from the narrow state-centric approach.
The Optimum Allocation of Consumption of the Fisherian Shipwrecked Sailors
Authors: Potužák Pavel
Published: December 2021

The theory of interest of Irving Fisher was designed to explain positive, zero, and negative interest rate. One of the intertemporal equilibria with the zero interest is an economy with a given supply of hardtacks for shipwrecked sailors. Hardtacks can be fully saved for the future, but their stock cannot be enlarged by production. Fisher presented several streams of consumption of hardtacks over time. This paper shows that the Fisherian paths are not consistent with the dynamic optimization model. Different trajectories of the optimum consumption are calculated and sketched. Their shape depends on the value of the subjective discount rate, the intertemporal elasticity of substitution in consumption, and the lifetime horizon of the shipwrecked sailors. None of them resemble the original Fisher examples.

Authors: Tyson June
Published: December 2021

Poetry is writing is good for the soul. Everything in life is poetry if we learn to look at it from various perspectives. However, it is very difficult to see poetry in the life of a recovering addict. Their experiences, hurts, deep pain, offenses, crimes, hunger and low self-esteem is all this population can focus on. They are trying to repair their lives and are often confronted with these elements of their past. This study takes recovering addict and provide them with a safe space to do creative writing about their experiences. This creative form is poetry. Many of the participants never wrote poetry before but by digging deep within themselves, they were able to find the words to fit their feelings and experiences. They were surprised to see what came into fruition.
Transmission of Monetary Policy through Credit Interest Rates in Turkey: A Microeconomic Perspective
Authors: Siklar Ilyas
Published: December 2021

This study aims to examine the monetary policy transmission through the credit channel from a microeconomic perspective by using the fixed effect dynamic panel model. It is estimated to what extent policy interest rate changes are transferred to the short-term interest rate depending on the type of loan. Results confirm that there is a high degree of inertia in both the commercial and consumer loan interest rates. In terms of the transmission of monetary policy, changes in policy interest rates are transferred to commercial loan interest rates by 11% and consumer loan interest rates by 15% in the short term. These values reveal that policy interest rate changes are gradually transmitted to market interest rates. Variables representing bank size, leverage, and market power in terms of distinctive characteristics have a limited impact on both commercial and consumer loan interest rates in the analyzing period. However, the market share of a bank has a significant impact on both commercial and consumer loan rates.
A Comparative Financial Ratio Analysis Between Conventional and Islamic Banks in GCC
Authors: Banerjee Arindam
Published: December 2021

Banking framework establishes the central mainstay of any economy. Banks functions as monetary conduits between sectors that have abundance reserves and those that are in deficiency. The historical backdrop of banking in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) traces all the way back to 1918 with the foundation of the primary bank in Bahrain. The territorial financial evolution is attributable to oil abundance and loaning business that spotlights on building, land and client advances. Throughout the long term, the financial framework worldwide has advanced in its contributions to suit the changing customer requests. One of the essential determinants of this change came about because of the strict convictions of individuals bringing about the remarkable development of Islamic Banking System. The prevalence of these banks are in nations with critical Muslim populace like Iran, Pakistan and Sudan but not limited to them. Islamic banks work under Sharia standards of hazard sharing and premium preclusion as appeared differently in relation to customary banks that purchase cash-flow to pool assets and offer cash-flow to produce revenue pay or benefit. This paper applies banks' endogenic elements identified with their monetary record and pay explanation and utilizing an aggregate of 24 financial ratios relating to the banks’ performance and seeks to thoroughly analyze the same among customary and Islamic banks. This examination clarifies the design, activity and the board of traditional banks in the GCC combined with the working of Islamic banks. The paper likewise intends to decide the beneficial and proficient banks among the chosen sample. The study incorporates 20 institutions, similarly dispersed among Islamic and customary banks utilizing information between the time of 2014 - 2017. The example is comprehensively ordered dependent on benefit ratios, proficiency ratios, asset indicator ratios and risk ratios. Further sub categorization is done to show up at an aggregate of 24 ratios. An independent T-test is used to determine a substantial ratio between Islamic and conventional banks.

Published: December 2021

Background: Cognitive and functional decline are important health problems in older adults. Objectives: To investigate Machine Learning (ML) algorithms of routine laboratory variables in predicting cognitive and functional decline in a population-based sample aged 75+ years within one-year. Methods: 132 individuals were selected from a population-based project. Functional and cognitive performances were evaluated at baseline and one year after. Results of routine laboratory tests obtained at baseline were used to generate three ML algorithms. Results: Random forest (RF), including triglycerides, glucose, hematocrit, RDW, albumin, hemoglobin, globulin, HDL, TSH, creatinine, lymphocyte, erythrocyte, platelet/leucocyte (PLR) and neutrophil/leucocyte (NLR) ratios, ALT, leukocyte, LDL, cortisol, GGT and eosinophil, showed the best performance to predict the cognitive decline (accuracy = 0.80). For functional decline (accuracy =0.92), the most important RF variables were platelet, PLR and NLR, hemoglobin, globulin, cortisol, RDW, glucose, basophil, B12 vitamin, creatinine, GGT, ALT, AST, eosinophil, hematocrit, erythrocyte, triglycerides, HDL and monocyte. Conclusions: Our results suggest that ML presents a good accuracy to predict cognitive and functional decline in oldest-old subjects using routine laboratory variables.

Published: December 2021

Background: Texture analysis based on the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) has been applied to brain magnetic resonance images (MRI) to detect subtle differences among healthy and lesioned tissue occurring in several neurological conditions, but it has rarely been used in longitudinal AD studies. Objectives: To perform a longitudinal study by applying GLCM to brain MRI of AD and MCI patients and of healthy controls (HC), to verify the suitability of this technique to help detect the evolution of these conditions. Methods: Participants were 14 AD, 21 MCI and 17 HC, who had 2 T1-MRI obtained ~12 months apart. MRI were segmented using the AAL atlas. 3D GLCMs were computed for five voxel distances, for 16 regions per subject. A total of 55 texture parameters were extracted per region per subject. Statistical differences were evaluated using a t test. Results: Significant differences were found only for the MCI group, for the left precentral gyrus and left supplementary motor area, for which the correlation parameter decreased over time at different distances. Conclusions: This result could be due to a subtle motor loss in the MCI group before the onset of AD symptoms, or even, patients in the MCI group could progress to neurodegenerative diseases other than AD. The next step is to compare the obtained texture parameters between groups using analysis of covariance.

Authors: Dourado Marcia , Simões Neto José Pedro , Alves Gilberto , Alves Cândida
Published: December 2021

Background: Facial expression recognition is essential for social cognition. Objectives: To compare facial expression recognition in mild and moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and identify the cognitive and clinical factors associated with impairment according to disease severity. Methods: Participants with AD (n=52). FACES includes four subtasks: matching expressions with picture stimuli (tasks1and 2), labelling emotions (task 3) and recognizing emotional situations (task 4). Results: There were significant differences between groups in FACES global score, task 2 and task 4. In mild AD, FACES global score was related to educational level and cognition; comprehension and constructive praxis impacted task 1; cognitive flexibility impacted task 2, and task 3 was related to word finding. There were no significant associations in task 4 after adjusting for level of cognition. The moderate AD group showed that awareness of emotional state was related to FACES global score, constructive praxis impacted task 2, task 3 was related to neuropsychiatric symptoms, and the ability to recognize emotions through situations impacted task 4. There was no significant associations in task 2, after adjusting for level of cognition. Conclusions: There are emotional processing difficulties across AD stages. However, there was no influence of cognitive impairment in the recognition of emotional situations in both groups.

Published: December 2021

Background: amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) refers to a possibletransitional stage between healthy aging and dementia and has an increased chance of converting to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Objectives: to assess whether neuropsychological tests can predict the conversion to AD in patients with aMCI and altered CSF amyloid peptide (βA+). Methods: 48 individuals underwent neuropsychological assessment (time 0 and time 1), being 18 healthy controls and 30 aMCI βA+, who performed a single CSF collection (time 0). All subjects with aMCI scored 0.5 in the Memory category of the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) test, and we considered the conversion to AD if the overall score changed from 0.5 to 1. We performed different additional univariate analyses with MANOVAs to differentiate between groups. Results : 8 subjects converted to AD (converters), and 22 remained stable (non-converters). The converters performed worse in the sub-item test Recognition of Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) compared to controls and non-converters (F = 14,58, p <0,001). Conclusions: the Recognition task of the RAVLT was able to differentiate aMCI βA+ individuals who converted to AD in our sample, which was not observed in the other investigated tests. We suggest additional studies with larger sample sizes and validation cohorts to contribute to our findings.

Background: Some older adults with subjective decline (SCD) had a positive amyloid biomarker indicating a preclinical stage of Alzheimer’s disease. Objectives: To assess the accuracy of Delayed Recall of Figure Memory Test (DR-FMT) of Brief Cognitive Screening Battery to predict amyloid status in SCD older adults. Objective: To assess the accuracy of Delayed Recall of Figure Memory Test (DR-FMT) of Brief Cognitive Screening Battery to predict amyloid status in SCD older adults. Methods: The sample consisted of 45 older adults classified as SCD and 25 as controls without complaints (mean age of 76.4 and 73.5, respectively, p= 0.138). They were evaluated with BCSB and a standard neuropsychological battery (which includes MMSE, MoCA, RAVLT, Logical Memory and DR of Rey Complex Figure). Subjects underwent PIB-PET to assess their amyloid status and images were classified based on visual and semi-quantitative analyses with 3DSSP methodology. Results: Twelve SCD older adults (27.3%) had positive PIB-PET against six in the controls (23.1%). In SCD group, DR-FMT was the only memory test that correlated with SUV in amyloid PET (r = -0.514, p < 0.001). Only DR-FMT showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in the ROC curve in SCD older adults (AUC = 0.771, 95% CI 0.621 - 0.921). Among SCD older adults, DR-FMT < 8.0 had a sensitivity of 83.3%, a specificity of 68.7% and an accuracy of 72.7%. Conclusion: FMT proved to have a good sensitivity and accuracy to predict amyloid status in SCD older adults.

Published: December 2021

Background: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) has been classically considered a “subcortical dementia” with a frontal pattern of cognitive decline, but episodic memory dysfunction also occurs in most patients. However, it remains uncertain whether this is due to executive dysfunction or to the involvement of key brain areas responsible for memory processes. Objective: We aim to identify the specific brain regions underlying episodic memory impairment in PSP. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included 21 patients with PSP and 20 healthy controls matched for age, sex, and schooling. Participants underwent the Brief Cognitive Battery (BCB, including the Figures Test for episodic memory) and had brain MRI. Both standard exploratory voxel‐based morphometry and region of interest analyses were performed with FSL software. Results: Compared to controls, PSP patients performed worse (p < 0.001) on the BCB (delayed recall). Adjusting for both age and Frontal Assessment Battery scores, neuroimaging analyses of the correlation between delayed recall (5 minutes) and grey matter volumes yielded significant clusters on medial temporal structures, including the hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, and parahippocampal gyrus (FWE, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our results suggest that atrophy of medial temporal structures may play a role in episodic memory impairment in PSP, indicating that amnesia in PSP is not due to executive dysfunction.

With advancements in renewable energy techno­logies, consumers are becoming prosumers, and renewable energy resources are being used in distributed networks. In an isolated distributed system, peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is one of the most promising energy management solutions. In this paper, we propose a P2P energy trading method for micro-grids using open resources and technology. The proposed setup comprises an Internet of Things (IoT) server to transfer energy amongst the peers without human intervention, and an Ethereum based private blockchain is suggested for money transfer in the form of cryptocurrency. The IoT server enables the peers to control and monitor self-produced energy. Arduino UNO, ACS 712 hall-effect current sensor, and a relay are the main components used in the hardware setup. The current sensor data is sent in real- time to Arduino for onward communication to the IoT server. A user-friendly interface has been developed on the server to perform various energy trading tasks. Peers have the choice to access the server remotely to perform energy trading tasks. The energy trading events can be shared amongst peers through e-mail notifications. For financial transactions, we utilized Ganache graphical user interface (GUI) a private Ethereum blockchain eliminating the need for financial institutions. The proposed peer-to-peer energy trading model has been successfully tested for energy trading between two peers. This paper provides details of the proposed hardware and software setup and explains how low-cost P2P energy trading can be achieved.

Distanciamento físico e ensino remoto: socializações em tempos de pandemia
Authors: Bueno Paula Alexandra Reis , Bueno Roberto Eduardo
Published: December 2021

Objetivou-se capturar e analisar marcas de socializações advindas do ensino remoto, durante o fechamento das instituições de educação formal, em virtude da pandemia da COVID-19. Primeiramente, desenvolveu-se uma análise documental, a partir de ensaios de organizações não governamentais (ONGs), pareceres de Conselhos de Educação, relatórios de pesquisas e documentos complementares. Visando verificar variações intrapessoais, realizou-se entrevistas com 57 sujeitos, entre estudantes e professores da Educação Básica, e mestrandos e doutorandos de um Programa de Pós-Graduação. Encontrou-se um cenário dividido em posicionamentos e valores; fortalecimento de instâncias socializadoras em universos virtuais; novas maneiras, formas e técnicas de se ensinar e aprender; e disposições para uma educação mesclada entre o ensino presencial e o ensino remoto, com construções de novas formas de se ensinar, estudar, aprender e se relacionar entre humanos. Menções sobre processos adaptativos, dificuldade de concentração e dificuldade de aprender sem o acompanhamento presencial de um professor, figuraram entre os relatos mais recorrentes. Espera-se contribuir para o campo da sociologia e da educação, no sentido de apoiar os estudos que verificam as contínuas construções e reconstruções das formas de se agir e pensar.

Authors: Marcon Karina , Koehler Cristiane
Published: December 2021

Este artigo apresenta uma discussão sobre as tecnologias digitais de rede e as mídias sociais como dispositivos para um convívio sociointelectual entre os sujeitos em interação. Discutem-se os paradigmas comunicacionais de massa e de rede no contexto das mídias sociais, suas potencialidades para os processos comunicacionais, a abertura dos polos de emissão de mensagens e a possibilidade de o sujeito participar de forma mais efetiva nos processos comunicativos. Analisa-se a coexistência desses dois paradigmas comunicacionais em um contexto de convergência midiática, no qual as relações sociais acontecem com diferentes formatos de mídias, potencializando a interação social entre os sujeitos acerca dos conteúdos midiáticos decorrentes dessas inter-relações. Apresenta-se, ainda, o conceito de interação social em rede e sua atuação na natureza das relações entre os sujeitos envolvidos no sistema comunicacional, buscando exprimir como o processo comunicacional se constitui em um contexto de rede. A interação social em rede somente acontece em tecnologias digitais que disponibilizam recursos tecnológicos nos quais os sujeitos possam estabelecer conexões sociais.
Família e propaganda – imagem restaurada: um exercício de leitura de imagens
Authors: Berticelli Ireno Antônio
Published: December 2021

Este artigo é uma análise cultural da família, assim como ela é vista numa/pela propaganda de um modelo de automóvel. Insere-se na proposta dos Estudos Culturais (ECs), neste caso, com fins educativo-pedagógicos de leitura de imagens. O método de análise é predominantemente qualitativo, no sentido de que a verdade buscada se insere essencialmente no campo da interpretação e do ensaio crítico: prática corrente de método, nos ECs. Dentre as metodologias mais correntes nos ECs, escolhi a que Barker (2008) caracteriza como abordagem textual. A mesma autoridade deixa claro que a perspectiva teórica da semiótica ocorre normalmente em autores dos ECs, de modo que eu mesmo, neste estudo, faço incursões semióticas. O texto-imagem encerra ideologias e mitos – mito proposto por uma propaganda de fundo ideológico. A imagem se constitui num texto revelador de intenções/mensagens cuja significação é por ela mediada de modo complexo, numa dialética de mostrar e esconder, de dizer e silenciar, onde o poder se exerce em nome de uma vontade que se materializa na linguagem textual: uma fotografia. Trata-se do exercício da leitura de um texto não convencional, cuja presença é uma das características marcantes de nosso tempo: a imagem. Nela, lemos sobre um padrão cultural de família através de um modelo de automóvel, em que busco as forças de persuasão que a imagem exerce, na produção da subjetividade de uma família “restaurada”.
The Rock-Carved Tumulus of Nikon in Tisna
Authors: Ürkmez Özden
Published: December 2021

Tisna, one of the lesser-known ancient cities of the Aeolis region, has been studied in detail since 2018. The first studies carried out in the region since the end of the 19th century localized the region in the Kocakale Tepe - Sarıkale Tepe - Mantar Tepe triangle as Tisna. It is understood that the center of the city is Sarıkale Tepe. The name Tisna first appears on the coins of the 4th century BC in the region. From the Roman era, the city is called Titanus. One of the most important features of the city is that it is surrounded by necropoleis. There are different types of tombs in the necropoleis, especially located on the southern and western slopes. One of these tomb types is the Tumuli. However, as a result of our investigation, it was understood that these tumuli had a different structure from the classic tumuli. We named this type of tomb, in which a rock tomb is covered with a masonry hill, the Rock-Carved Tumulus. The subject of this article is Nikon's rock-carved tumulus, which is understood to be one of such tombs in the region. Our evaluations on the tomb, which has a unique feature in terms of construction technique, indicate that it must belong to the Late Classical period, perhaps to the early 4th century.

Published: December 2021

O psicólogo tem a possibilidade de atuar em diversos campos e o Conselho Federal de Psicologia (CFP) juntamente com os Conselhos Regionais são responsáveis pelos processos éticos da profissão. Dessa forma, verificou-se a relevância de analisar os tipos de ocorrências éticas que foram cometidas por esses profissionais. Para isso, buscou-se pelos processos éticos nos Jornais do Conselho Federal de Psicologia nos anos de 2010 a 2018. Encontrou-se 14 Jornais, sendo um excluído por não apresentar o campo de processos éticos, totalizando 178 infrações. Os Jornais foram classificados segundo à ementa da infração, região de origem da ocorrência e decisão tomada pelos Conselhos. Verificou-se que 40% das infrações ocorreram em São Paulo e que a maioria das infrações se referia às ocorrências com ementas não especificadas (47,2%) e à Avaliação Psicológica de maneira geral (31,7%), que incluiu ementas referentes a essa temática, como facilitar a aplicação de testes psicológicos por não psicólogo, irregularidade em Avaliação Psicológica, laudo mal elaborado, entre outros. As principais decisões dos Conselhos foram advertência e arquivamento dos processos. Concluiu-se que uma formação contínua e de qualidade é uma ferramenta essencial para que os profissionais busquem uma atuação pautada nos princípios éticos que regem a profissão.
Aquiescência em autorrelatos: Introdução ao conceito, correlatos e possíveis soluções

Published: December 2021

O estilo de resposta aquiescente é um padrão de resposta há muito reconhecido na literatura sobre psicometria e avaliação psicológica, assim como a tendência a utilização de pontos extremos e também a evitação de pontos extremos. A aquiescência pode ser definida como a tendência de concordar com itens de um questionário a despeito do conteúdo apresentado, especialmente em instrumentos que utilizam escalas do tipo Likert. Assim, o respondente pode endossar igualmente itens opostos (e.g., sou otimista; sou pessimista), afetando as evidências de validade e fidedignidade dos instrumentos. O objetivo deste artigo é fornecer uma introdução ampla do conceito, apresentando as principais abordagens explicativas, evidências atuais de correlatos e uma breve retomada histórica sobre o conceito. São apresentadas as clássicas abordagens de cunho motivacional e cognitivo, e a recente proposta de modelos mais integrativos para o entendimento da aquiescência. Por fim, são apresentados e discutidos os dois modelos estatísticos mais utilizados para o controle da aquiescência em pesquisas com escalas do tipo Likert  na área de desenvolvimento de testes e avaliação psicológica.

A series of novel substituted 3-(2-amino-6-phenyl-6H-1,3-oxazin-4-yl)-2H-chromen-2-ones(AO1-AO10) was synthesized upon refluxing ethanolic solution of substituted 3-cinnamoyl-2H chromen-2-one with urea in presence of 20 % NaOH. The intermediate chalcones, substituted 3-cinnamoyl-2H-chromen2-ones, were synthesized by condensing 3-acetyl coumarin with various substituted benzaldehydes in presence of 20 % NaOH. The structures of the final synthesized compounds were characterized by UV, IR, 1 H NMR and mass spectra. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized compounds was estimated by tube dilution method. The turbidity was observed for the synthesized compounds. Few compounds showed promising minimum inhibitory concentration by tube dilution method.

Effect of Science Teachers’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Skills on Out-Door Instruction, At Selected Secondary Schools in Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya
Authors: Kabesa Stella
Published: December 2021

Outdoor learning usually refers to organized learning that takes place outside the confines of a classroom. This study aims to empirically examine the effects of teachers‘ knowledge, attitude and skills on out-door instruction in Kenya. The study adapted a survey research design. A sample of 135 teachers was randomly obtained from a population of 318 teachers. The response rate was 77.59 per cent. Data was collected using both closed and open ended questionnaires. Data was analyzed by employing descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that teachers‘ Knowledge, Attitude and Skills (KAS) are positively associated with out-of-classroom instruction in Kenya. The generalizability of the findings is limited as the study focused only in Kenya. Based on the findings, the study recommends that schools should focus on encouraging development of knowledge, attitude and skills in teachers thus promoting the use of out-door instruction in science. This study contributes to the theoretical and practical knowledge by providing the evidence about factors affecting science teaching. It is also expected to extend the knowledge on out-door learning.
Determinants of Academic Status in Higher Education
Authors: Bayu Tadele
Published: December 2021

The main objective of this paper is to figure out the main factors that determine academic status in a higher education institution. Based on the data collected from 218 students using structured questionnaire the researcher uses graphical, tabular and maximum likelihood estimations techniques address the stated objective. Both the graphical illustrations and the maximum likelihood results of ordered logit and ordered probit estimates indicate that gender, age, previous academic background (i.e., students grade twelve university entrance result as a proxy), department choice have a significant effect on the academic status of student at a higher institution. The findings show that female students have a higher probability of being academically poor than male given all other factors the same. Forcing students to join a department without their choice has adverse negative effect on students’ academic status. The other variables which directly affect students academic status is students’ previous academic background. Based on the findings the researcher recommends that Student’s academic background and their first department choice should be seriously emphasized by the ministry of education when students are assigned for each university and faculty at national level.
Using Podcasts to Change Learners’ Attitudes and Beliefs in Learning / Teaching English as a Second Language: A Case Study in Secondary Education in Greece
Authors: Nikolou Stamatina , Darra Maria
Published: December 2021

The main objective of this study is to explore how podcasting can be implemented in teaching English as a Second Language as a supportive technological tool and thus contribute to the development of positive attitudes and beliefs of the learners. To this aim, the field experiment research was conducted. The study was carried out with a total of 28 pupils of the first grade of high school at an educational institution on Rhodes, Greece in February 2018. The students were assigned to the experimental group (15 students) and the control group (13 students). The results of the research have shown a positive change in students‟ attitudes and beliefs, though no statistically significant difference has arisen regarding the students‟ interest in the course, their self-confidence in English, the role of gender in learning English, and the difficulties students come across when studying English. Similarly, no significant change has occurred regarding the usefulness of English, the importance of the English accent, and the knowledge of another foreign language as a contributing factor to learning English more easily. Finally, a negative change was found regarding difficulties in oral communication in English.

Study aim. To analyse the surgical outcomes in patients with haemorrhagic stroke depending on the timing of surgery.
Materials and methods. We performed a retrospective analysis of 500 patients (335 (67%) men and 165 (33%) women), who underwent surgical treatment of hypertensive intracranial hemorrhages at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine between 1997 and 2020. The mean patient age was 53.1 12.2 years. The mean time until surgery was 3.3 2.6 days. Outcomes were assessed on day 30 from disease onset using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
Results. In the total sample, outcomes as measured by the mRS were as follows: type 0 84 (16.8%) patients, type 1 37 (7.4%), type 2 46 (9.2%), type 3 38 (7.6%), type 4 43 (8.6%), type 5 142 (28.4%) and type 6 110 (22.0%). Treatment results were better when surgery was delayed (2 = 64.4; p 0.00001). Mortality was 36.4% after surgery conducted in the first day after haemorrhage, while mRS scores of 02 made up 18.6%. Mortality was 20.4% after surgery conducted on the second or third day, and mRS scores of 02 made up 29.6%. Mortality was 17.4% after surgery conducted on day 47, and mRS scores of 02 outcomes were present in 49.0% of subjects. Mortality was 8.8% when surgery was performed on day 8 or later, and favourable outcomes were present in 48.5% of patients.
Conclusion. Intracerebral haematoma excision on day 23 leads to better outcomes in patients with reduced levels of alertness up to sopor, while surgery after day 3 leads to better results in alert patients and those with obtundation.
Structural pharmacology of GABAА receptors
Authors: Rossokhin Alexey V. , Sharonova Irina N.
Published: December 2021

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), activating the inotropic type A receptors (GABAА receptors) to provide fast inhibition. GABAА receptors are the main target for various groups of drugs that are widely used in the treatment of CNS disorders.
This review examines the relationship between the physiological effects of GABAА receptor activation and modulation by various substances (including medicinal compounds), the receptor's structure, and the interaction of these substances with specific modulatory sites. Recent advances in cryogenic electron microscopy have led to fundamental improvements in understanding the detailed organization and function of GABAА receptors. This review is based on both the latest structural data obtained from cryogenic electron microscopy and the results of biochemistry and electrophysiology studies, as well as molecular modelling.

Published: December 2021

Minor atrial septal defect (ASD) may be one of the pathways of paradoxical embolism in the brain. Few scientific papers have investigated the relationship between ASD (excluding patent foramen ovale) and the occurrence of ischemic stroke. There is no definite opinion as to how functionally important such shunts are and how the shunt changes with age. The review analyzes modern ideas about the probability of paradoxical embolism in small ASDs from the viewpoint of pathophysiology, and also demonstrates the technological capabilities of assessing the functional significance of such shunts based on our own clinical observations.
