Theory and Practice of VR/AR in K-12 Science Education—A Systematic Review
Authors: Zhang Weiping , Wang Zhuo
Published: November 2021

Effective teaching of science requires not only a broad spectrum of knowledge, but also the ability to attract students’ attention and stimulate their learning interest. Since the beginning of 21st century, VR/AR have been increasingly used in education to promote student learning and improve their motivation. This paper presents the results of a systematic review of 61 empirical studies that used VR/AR to improve K-12 science teaching or learning. Major findings included that there has been a growing number of research projects on VR/AR integration in K-12 science education, but studies pinpointed the technical affordances rather than the deep integration of AR/VR with science subject content. Also, while inquiry-based learning was most frequently adopted in reviewed studies, students were mainly guided to acquire scientific knowledge, instead of cultivating more advanced cognitive skills, such as critical thinking. Moreover, there were more low-end technologies used than high-end ones, demanding more affordable yet advanced solutions. Finally, the use of theoretical framework was not only diverse but also inconsistent, indicating a need to ground VR/AR-based science instruction upon solid theoretical paradigms that cater to this particular context.
Does Distributive Justice Improve Welfare Outcomes in Climate Adaptation? An Exploration Using an Agent-Based Model of a Stylized Social–Environmental System
Authors: Joshi Aashis , Chappin Emile , Doorn Neelke
Published: November 2021

Scholars increasingly propose distributive justice as a means to foster effective and fair outcomes in climate adaptation. To advance the discussion on its place in climate policy, it is desirable to be able to quantitatively assess the effects of different principles of distribution on the well-being of unequally vulnerable individuals and groups. Here, we present an agent-based model of a stylized social–environmental system subject to an external stress such as a climate change impact, in which individuals with unequal access to resources attempt to fulfil an essential need through resource consumption. This causes environmental damage, and a balance must be found between the processes of resource consumption and environmental degradation to achieve well-being for people and stability for the environment. We operationalize different principles for redistributing resource access as interaction rules in the model and compare their tendency to allow such a balance to emerge. Our results indicate that while outcome patterns and effectiveness may vary among principles, redistribution generally improves well-being and system stability. We discuss some implications of our findings as they pertain to addressing the climate crisis and end by outlining the next steps for the research.

Authors: Pamungkas Mochammad Rifky , Maulina Erna , Purnomo Margo
Published: November 2021

Today's world competition has increased the pressure on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to adopt lean implementations. The purpose of this study is to make a small contribution by exploring the Lean Implementation Barrier (LIB) in SMEs through three case studies of SMEs in the city of Bandung. A case study approach is used and followed by the Interpretative Structural Model (ISM) in order to see the inter-LIB relationship. The results of this study indicate that lack of management commitment and leadership, lack of employee involvement and lack of resources are the main obstacles to lean implementation in SMEs in Indonesia. Moreover, poor communication among various levels within the company and inadequate dissemination of knowledge about the benefits of lean also create barriers to lean implementation. The implication of this research is to strengthen and expand information related to research on the application of lean in SMEs, especially the results of the identified barriers that can assist SMEs in implementing lean or future research in developing and identifying barriers to implementing lean in SMEs.

Cuerpo y narrativas docentes, revisión crítica desde el campo Comunicación/Educación
Authors:   , Ivern Alberto
Published: November 2021

El sentido original de la palabra cuerpo es "un conjunto de sistemas independientes que se unen para formar otro principal", es decir que estamos siendo un cuerpo con otros. No hay consciencia de estar siendo una parte inescindible del Universo (oxígeno, agua, alimentos, temperatura..) ni de estar siendo una comunidad (crianza, enseñanzas, creencias, producciones, transportes, salud...). No hay consciencia de que por medio de las narrativas ("este cuerpo que tengo.." ) estamos naturalizando una representación de nosotros mismos como seres autosuficientes, pre-linguísticos, triplemente escindidos: en nosotros, de los otros y de la naturaleza. Es posible e imprescindible recuperar tanto la consciencia de estar siendo con otros como la responsabilidad de elegir qué queremos estar siendo con cada otro. Esta representación de nosotros mismos cambia sustancialmente la relación con los demás y con los estudiantes: cada otro es un interlocutor válido, poseedor de un talento y saber diferente y co-imprescindible, internecesario.
Factors Affecting the Epizootics of Entomopathogenic Fungi-A Review
Authors: Abdul Qayyum Mirza , Bilal Huda , Naeem Ullah Unsar , Ali Habib , Raza Hasnain
Published: November 2021

Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) specifically infect and kill insects can serve as a potential biological control agent. Several biotic and abiotic factors affect their occurrence, persistence, and epizootics caused by them. In biotic factors, fungi characters (host range, latency, spore density and dispersal, mainly host-pathogen compatibility), insect host factors (behavioral, morphological, and physiological), plant-mediated effects (plant architecture, surface chemistry, and leaf topology) are included supports or causes the barrier to mycobiopesticide. Abiotic factors which affect the EPF field persistence are mainly environmental (temperature, sunlight, humidity, rainfall) physical and chemical soil properties (soil texture, pH, E.c, moisture, C/N content, and organic matter) that greatly influence the entomopathogenic fungi. To use them as biocontrol agents, we have to overcome these factors by providing them nutrients, protectants, and using different control practices.

Published: November 2021

Genetic studies through molecular markers proved important to find out the genetic diversity of canola. In this study, 50 lines of canola were used to find the polymorphism using 15 SSR primers and investigated the genetic diversity, PIC values, frequency-based genetic distance, and allelic frequencies. Mean gene diversity, frequency-based genetic distance, and PIC values were 0.8777, 0.233 and 0.8666, respectively for the canola lines. A good range of genetic diversity was found among studied canola lines with value 85.91% polymorphism. Maximum and minimum genetic distances among 50 lines were 1 and 0.26, respectively. Accessions ACC-26068, ACC-24241, ACC-24244, ACC-24233, ACC-24423 and ACC-24224 have maximum genetic distance. Accessions ACC-24879 and ACC-24169 had minimum genetic distance i.e., 0.26. Dendrogram based on genetic distances showed four main clusters that were further dividing into several sub-clusters. The primers utilized in the present study, were valuable to identify different accessions of canola to find the variability present. This variability will be helpful to initiate the breeding program with their molecular genetic basis.

Authors: Bilal Huda , Raza Hasnain , Bibi Haseena , Bibi Tehmina
Published: November 2021

Plastic waste has recently been identified as one of the most serious environmental issues, affecting all life forms, natural habitats, and the economy, and is one of the most serious global environmental problems, second only to climate change. Seeking alternative environmentally sustainable options, such as biodegradation instead of conventional disposal, is critical in the face of this challenge. However, there is currently a lack of information about the mechanisms and efficacy of plastic biodegradation. From this perspective, this study aims to illustrate the negative environmental impacts of the plastic waste. It also addresses the role of insects and gut microbiota in the degradation of plastics, emphasizing the important role they will play in the future.

Urinary Tract Infection is alarming problem worldwide due to the intensity of antimicrobial resistance. Escherichia coli is the most predominant organism in UTI. This study was planned to evaluate demographic parameters, the prevalence of E. coli, and antimicrobial resistance patterns among E. coli isolates from UTI patients in Nishtar Hospital of Multan from January to June 2018. A total of 350 mid-stream urine samples were collected from different patients having age group from 25 to 60 years and processed by standard laboratory procedures. Out of 350 samples, 100 samples were observed as critical bacteremia. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia were the most persistent (47 % and 19 % individually) among the Gram-negative pathogens followed by S. aureus (14 %), Enterobacter spp. (11 %) and Candida (9 %) respectively. The incidence of UTI was found higher in 25-35 age groups. The prevalence of UTI with E. coli as an infectious agent was 72 % in females, and 28 % in males. The prevalence of E. coli was more in rural areas (70 %) than in urban areas (26 %). The antimicrobial testing against E. coli showed the highest resistance to amoxicillin (65.9 %) and ciprofloxacin (38.2 %), whereas highly sensitive rate observed against Fosfomycin (FOS) (95.7 %), Gentamicin (GEN) (89.3 %), and Nitrofurantoin (NIT) (85 %) respectively. The increased resistance against ampicillin and ciprofloxacin was observed in Multan have a great emerging problem so there is a need for effective prevention strategies for the E. coli drug resistance and successful surveillance required to be improved.

Melding Multiple Sources of Knowledge: Using Theory and Experiential Knowledge to Design a Community Health Intervention Study
Authors: Silberberg Mina , Muhlbaier Lawrence H. , Hart-Brothers Elaine , Small Glenda M. , Bunce Arwen E. , Patel Rupal , Robinson Seronda , James Sherman A.
Published: November 2021

Although Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is grounded in socioecological theories of health, using and addressing theory in CBPR can be challenging. This paper explores how theory was used and melded with community expertise in one CBPR study in Durham, North Carolina. Challenges to use of theory included time restrictions, the need to focus on meeting local needs and making short-term measurable gains, and differences among collaborators in comfort with and concern for theoretical discussion. Both community and theoretical voices were sometimes short-changed – particularly voices that were more difficult to access or integrate into existing ways of operating. Nonetheless, we were able to bring theory into our work at a number of stages and to meld theory with community expertise in ways that benefited our project. Our case study suggests the importance of creating opportunities for small group discussion; utilizing an iterative dialogic approach to melding theory and community expertise; grounding theoretical discussions in specific, concrete questions; taking the long view of CBPR, including purposefully bringing attention to theory even while responding to pragmatic concerns; and spending more time on building the capacity to collaborate of both academic and community partners. It also raises the need for funders to consider how to align their expectations of grantees with effective attention to root causes of poor health and health disparities.

Published: November 2021

Communities are dealing with persistent health problems, despite the enormous investment in health research, service delivery, and program development to address those health concerns. While there may be an evidence base for addressing some community health concerns, too often there is incomplete or no medical evidence for addressing many concerns. The High Plains Research Network and Colorado Research Network have used an appreciative inquiry approach to their work for several years, identifying positive aspects of care and developing programs to replicate what is working. Based on five years of informal appreciative-inquiry research and five formal appreciative inquiry projects, we have developed a standard process and method for conducting appreciative-inquiry guided Boot Camp Translations. The purpose of this methodology manuscript is to describe the general approach of using appreciative inquiry as a research tool and the standard process for conducting appreciative inquiry as a patient engagement tool to identify local evidence and develop local solutions.
Designing a steel connection with a high degree of disassembly: a practice-based experience
Authors: Incelli Francesco , Cardellicchio Luciano
Published: November 2021

This article is derived from a feasibility study for a single-story elevation at the Kent School of Architecture and Planning (KSAP) in the United Kingdom. This project embraced two fundamental principles of the circular economy: flexibility of interior spaces and Design for Disassembly (DfD). The goals were to reduce the risk of demolition and preserve the value of the building material to empower its later use. These principles formed the solution for the structural frame. For this paper, the engineering phase was carried out to improve the structural connections designed according to DfD principles and following generative design methods.
Remanufacturing: strategies to enhance the life extension of short-cycle building products
Authors: Talamo Cinzia , Lavagna Monica , Monticelli Carol , Zanelli Alessandra , Campioli Andrea
Published: November 2021

This essay explores the issues of reuse and remanufacturing in the construction sector, considered to be key strategies for circularity and value conservation, based on the extension of product life through multiple use cycles. The main levers for boosting the logic of reuse and remanufacturing are investigated, as well as the major barriers that hinder their spread. In particular, the focus is on the components coming from the renovation of tertiary buildings (offices, accommodation, exhibitions, retail), characterised by short use cycles. These components are the most suitable for innovative remanufacturing experiments, since they are distinguished by high economic value and high residual performance after the replacement process.

Authors: Qurban Qirat , Kamil Zeeshan , Mahmood Khalid
Published: November 2021

Purpose: To compare between the results of rectangular and triangular shaped scleral flaps in trabeculectomy for primary open angle glaucoma.

Study design: Quasi experimental study

Place and Duration of Study: Khalid eye clinic, Karachi, from July 2018 to June 2019.

Methods: This study included 24 patients of either gender and age from 40 to 65 years. Patients with a diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma refractory to medical treatment were included by convenient sampling technique. They were divided into two groups. Group A underwent trabeculectomy with rectangular shaped scleral flap whereas Group B underwent trabeculectomy with triangular shaped scleral flap. The main outcome measures were intraocular pressure reduction, anterior chamber depth and post-operative complications. All patients were followed up for a period of two months.

Results: Mean age was 52.1± 6.72 years. Mean pre-operative intraocular pressure in group A was 24.4±2.13 mmHg and 23.5±1.64 mmHg in group B. Mean post-operative IOP was 11.6±1.51 mmHg in group A and 13.4±1.67 mmHg in group B with p-value of 0.11. Pre-operative anterior chamber depth (ACD) was grade 4 both groups. It remained same in all patients of group A but two patients of group B changed to grade 3 ACD. Two patients of group B developed hypotony on the first post-operative day. They did not require revision suturing and were managed conservatively.

Conclusion: Both types of scleral flap are effective in reducing IOP but rectangular scleral flap reduced IOP more as compared to triangular scleral flap but the difference was not statistically significant.

Published: November 2021

Spices and herbs are biological resources that have long played an important role in human life. In the current pandemic where our bodies have an immune system that can manage the body's power, but the factors of age, lifestyle and regular use of drugs can affect the level of body power, therefore this spice has been considered to provide health and this has led to the demand for spices. high enough. The continuous use of spices, both from the household sector to the industrial sector, makes consumers have to find or buy these spices every day to the market or to spice collectors for industrial consumers. To meet market needs and consumer needs directly, therefore the proposed solution to overcome this problem is to use e-commerce media. The system development model used in making this information system is the SDCL (System Development Life Cycle) waterfall (Waterfall) or classic life flow. The stages that are passed in the system analysis and design process include: system requirements analysis, design, code generator, testing and support. From the results of this study, it is hoped that the existence of this spice sales information system can help farmers, especially spice producers, in terms of increasing the selling power of their agriculture, making it easier to carry out promotions, sales transactions to produce sales reports.

CONTACT PROBLEM FOR ORTHOTROPIC PLATES OF VARIABLE THICKNESS WITH A SPATIALLY INHOMOGENEOUS BASE
Authors: Некрасова Н. Н.
Published: November 2021

В работе приведено численное моделирование пространственной задачи контактного взаимодействия ортотропных плит переменной жесткости с упругими основаниями. Используемая методика расчета пригодна в случае любых известных контактных моделей упругих оснований. В качестве примера приведены численные результаты для пространственно-неоднородных оснований типа упругих слоев постоянной и переменной толщины. Система интегро-дифференциальных уравнений, к которой сводится задача, решается численно, сочетанием методов конечных разностей типа сквозного счета и граничных элементов. Найдены прогибы, изгибающие моменты и распределения контактных давлений прямоугольной плиты переменной жесткости, полностью примыкающей к основанию. Приводится анализ влияния на напряженно-деформированное состояние плиты, изменения ортотропных свойств ее материала и степень неравномерной сжимаемости толщи грунта. Разработанная методика позволяет эффективно моделировать работу плитных фундаментных конструкций, когда необходим учет неоднородности грунтов сжимаемой толщи в пределах габарита зданий или сооружений.

The paper presents a numerical simulation of the spatial problem of contact interaction of orthotropic slabs of variable stiffness with elastic foundations. The calculation technique used is suitable for any known contact models of elastic foundations. As an example, numerical results are given for spatially inhomogeneous foundations such as elastic layers of constant and variable thickness. The system of integrodifferential equations, to which the problem is reduced, is solved numerically by a combination of finite difference methods such as end-to-end counting and boundary elements. Deflections, bending moments and contact pressure distributions of a rectangular slab of variable stiffness, completely adjacent to the base, are found. An analysis of the influence on the stress-strain state of the slab of changes in the orthotropic properties of its material and the degree of uneven compressibility of the soil thickness is given. The developed technique makes it possible to effectively simulate the operation of slab foundation structures when it is necessary to take into account the heterogeneity of the soil of the compressible strata within the dimensions of buildings or structures.

Proyectando una sociología del currículo desde la resistencia y las pedagogías críticas
Authors: Sotelo Luis Fernando
Published: November 2021

El objetivo general de este artículo es actualizar cuatro conceptos clave que han cruzado la historia de la sociología de la educación de los años noventa al presente, mirando la posibilidad de articularlas al campo de la Sociología Educativa del Currículo. La Sociología del Currículo es la postura científica por la que se da continuación al estudio de la Educación como fenómeno social para lo cual, en la segunda parte, se presentarán tres tensiones recalcando que son cuestionamientos propios de la educación, aun posen vigencia en los contextos donde se han originado los procesos de Reformas Educativas.

La transposition didactique du spectacle professionnel comme objet de savoir en classe d’arts : proposition d’un modèle d’analyse intégratif
Authors: Nadeau Anne , Raymond Caroline , Lépine Martin
Published: November 2021

Dans le cadre scolaire, les disciplines associées au domaine des arts se distinguent par leur nature praxique. Dans ce contexte, les pratiques artistiques des personnes enseignantes spécialistes des arts, que ce soit comme créatrices, interprètes ou spectatrices, influencent leur processus de transposition didactique. Cet article présente comment un spectacle professionnel apprécié par les spécialistes des arts est considéré comme un objet de savoir et comment il peut se transposer en classe. En croisant deux modèles théoriques, soit la triple dimension de l’enseignement des arts (Raymond, 2014, 2018) et le rapport au spectacle (entre autres inspiré des travaux d’Émery-Bruneau, 2010, 2014), nous proposons un modèle d’analyse intégratif de la transposition didactique, en classe, du spectacle professionnel en fonction du rapport qu’entretiennent les personnes enseignantes avec cet objet de savoir et des dimensions artistique, esthétique et culturelle propres au domaine des arts.

The slip boundary condition for nanoflows is a key component of nanohydrodynamics theory, and can play a significant role in the design and fabrication of nanofluidic devices. In this review, focused on the slip boundary conditions for nanoconfined liquid flows, we firstly summarize some basic concepts about slip length including its definition and categories. Then, the effects of different interfacial properties on slip length are analyzed. On strong hydrophilic surfaces, a negative slip length exists and varies with the external driving force. In addition, depending on whether there is a true slip length, the amplitude of surface roughness has different influences on the effective slip length. The composition of surface textures, including isotropic and anisotropic textures, can also affect the effective slip length. Finally, potential applications of nanofluidics with a tunable slip length are discussed and future directions related to slip boundary conditions for nanoscale flow systems are addressed.
Do Amalgamations Make a Difference? What We can Learn from Evaluating the Policy Success of a Large Scale Forced Amalgamation of Local Government
Authors: McQuestin Dana , Drew Joseph , Miyazaki Masato
Published: November 2021

Deteriorating financial sustainability of local governments internationally has resulted in increased implementation of structural reform programs as a potential solution. However, the lack of a coherent framework to evaluate policy success has resulted in a myriad of approaches being applied by scholars, sometimes with conflicting results. This inconsistency is problematic given the importance of ex post analyses to the learning process, needed to ensure better decision-making and more efficacious interventions in the future. To address this gap in the literature, we employed the policy success framework along with a number of difference-in-difference analyses to assess the impact of amalgamation following a recent large-scale program. Moreover, in cognisance of the policy success literature, we also introduced a new innovation whereby we conducted empirical estimations on the disaggregated elements of total expenditure. We conclude with an enumeration of important lessons for policymaking and scholarly analysis.

Sanitation is one of the most important aspect for an individuals and also good for the healthy life, and protection from the various diseases. To achieved the complete cleanness in the country, the central and state governments are jointly operating the sanitation related services in the state. This study is an attempt to assess the satisfaction level from the sanitation services in Gorakhpur district of Uttar Pradesh. For this purpose, 285 sample have been selected randomly in both rural (165) and urban (120) habitants of the district. The satisfaction of sanitation services has been measured with respect to three variables that are gender, habitat, and community. For the analysis of data, a descriptive statistics techniques such as Mean, Standard Deviation and ANOVA, have been used. After careful analysis of data, one can find out that the female population (Grand Mean = 8.0446) are less satisfied with sanitation service as compared to male population (Grand Mean = 9.2656). It is also revealed from the data analysis that urban population (Grand Mean = 11.8500) are satisfied with sanitation services as compared to rural population (Grand Mean = 6.2242) of the district. Therefore, the findings of the study advises that a suitable mechanism must be require or available ones need to more straighten to monitored on the sanitation services in rural areas of the district and for better sanitation services government should encourage a women’s self-help group to participate in it.

U radu su predstavljeni rezultati istraživanja o ljudskim pravima provedenog tijekom 2018. i 2019. na učiteljskim fakultetima te studijima psihologije, pedagogije i socijalnog rada u Hrvatskoj. Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati zastupljenost ishoda učenja o ljudskim pravima na navedenim studijima s posebnim osvrtom na dječja prava, dječju participaciju te koncept djeteta kao aktivnoga građanina, uobičajenima u diskursu suvremene paradigme djetinjstva. Istraživanje je provedeno mješovitom metodom te je primijenjena triangulacija s trima različitim izvorima ispitanika: anketa sa sveučilišnim nastavnicima, intervjui s predstavnicima studijskih programa te anketa sa studentima, pri čemu su se svi tipovi podataka u analizi tretirali kao ravnopravni. Različiti tipovi podataka pokazali su neujednačene perspektive između institucionalnih aktera, ali i sličnosti sveučilišne populacije s drugim razinama obrazovnog sustava.

Invertebrates are important elements of aquatic ecosystems and play a crucial role in the transformation of matter and energy in continental water bodies. Communities of aquatic invertebrates are characterised by high sensitivity to pollution by nutrients and toxic substances and acidification of water bodies; they serve as good bioindicators of the quality of the aquatic environment and impacts on hydroecosystems. All hydrobionts participate in the processes of self-purification of water bodies.

The presented dataset provides information on the aquatic invertebrate community of a large northern river. During 2018-2020, we collected data on changes in the quantitative indicators of the development of benthic and planktonic communities, as well as the species diversity of their fauna. The dataset combines information about the occurrence and abundance of benthic and planktonic invertebrates and summarises data of aquatic invertebrate species found in the Vychegda River in the zone of influence from the pulp and paper mill.

The presented dataset is part of a monitoring programme of the river ecosystems in the production area of Mondi Syktyvkar JSC (the European North-East of Russia, Komi Republic). The dataset describes the structure of benthic invertebrate and plankton communities in the Northern Dvina River Basin. The data on the finding and abundance of large taxa of aquatic invertebrates and species of some groups: Oligochaeta, Cladocera, Copepoda, Rotifera, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera are presented. In total, the resource includes 8720 findings of invertebrates, of which 6041 are for zoobenthos organisms and 2679 for zooplankton organisms.
