Published: February 2020

Collisions and electrocutions on power lines are known to kill large numbers of birds annually on a global scale. We conducted comprehensive research focused on bird mortality caused by 22 kV and 110 kV distribution power lines in 13 Special Protection Areas in Slovakia. In the period between December 2014 and February 2016, 6,235 km of power lines were inspected twice during two periods (12/2014–03/2015 and 04/2015–02/2016) of field survey. In addition an intensive study was conducted during the second field survey at one-month intervals on power lines identified as the most dangerous for birds to collide with. As a result, 4,353 bird carcasses and bird remains representing 84 bird species and 14 orders were identified. Electrocution was suspected for 76.72% and collision for 23.28% of fatalities. Raptors were associated with 40% of all identified victims of electrocution. Two peaks of incidence were recorded, the first in March with a high rate of electrocutions as well as collisions of swans, pheasants, common blackbirds, ducks and herons, and the second in September predominantly featuring electrocution of raptors, magpies and corvids. We were unable to quantify seasonal patterns of mortality due to the limited sample of repeated mortality surveys resulting from the large grid of inspected power lines. We conducted comprehensive statistical analysis of more than 100 configurations of pylons and calculated their potential risk towards birds. Strong spatial correlation was revealed in the data set. Metal branch pylons and corner pylons with exposed jumper wires passing over the supporting insulators above the cross arms were the most dangerous configuration, accounting for 34.72% of total recorded electrocution fatalities (0.13 carcass/pylon). Cases of electrocution were also recorded for two bird species of major conservation concern in Slovakia: saker falcon (Falco cherrug) and eastern imperial eagle (Aquila heliaca). The results of this study may substantially improve conservation management and policies needed to reduce bird mortality.
Across the Divide

Published: February 2020

The School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee coordinated a precollege program with rural, urban, and suburban high schools students to explore issues of race, class and geography to ameliorate the divide that often exists when high school students from monocultural communities move to more culturally diverse institutions of higher education. Through this program, participants engaged with each other via a common curriculum while participating in school projects and joint discussions. The goal of the program was to influence changes in the behavior of college-bound students, behaviors that often result in conflicts on campus when diverse cultures co-exist in new settings. Findings reveal that when institutions of higher education help connect and facilitate discussions among high school students, the potential benefits are high. Exposing high school students to diversity issues, while introducing them to a college experience, helps prepare them to ultimately take an active role in their communities.

Authors: Keup Jennifer R. , Padgett Ryan D. , Kilgo Cindy A. , Deitering Anne-Marie
Published: February 2020

Drawing from a national sample of 465 institutions, this descriptive study explores the instructional and pedagogical characteristics of course-based information literacy (IL) education in the first year of college. These national data indicate that information literacy instruction is an institutional priority for first-year students but that delivery methods, pedagogy, and evaluation of student learning outcomes rely upon more traditional approaches such as IL instruction in English courses and first-year seminars; librarians as the primary content developers and instructors; classroom activities, lectures, research papers, and presentations as common instructional tools; and an underutilization of information technologies. While analyses of institutional practices suggest emerging areas of information literacy instruction, these strategies have yet to gain prominence on campuses across the country.
Transfer Shock
Authors: Clausen Charles , Wessel Roger D.
Published: February 2020

Transfer students have gained the attention of higher education administrators and policy-makers because of the high level of transfer activity (National Center for Educational Statistics, 2011). The phenomenon known as transfer shock is the overall integration difficulty transfer students face (Hills, 1965). This study examined Ball State University (BSU) transfer students in their first year and how to predict posttransfer GPA and 6-year graduation based on previous institution cumulative GPA, age, sex, previous institution type, and BSU college. Regression analyses were used to make predictive models for posttransfer GPA and 6-year graduation. The sample consisted of 1,857 entering transfer students. Previous institution cumulative GPA averaged 2.994, while the average posttransfer GPA was 1.681. Nearly 60% of the sample achieved 6-year graduation. Each model found most of the observed variables to be statistically significant predictors. When applied to the data, the 6-year graduation prediction model correctly predicted 6-year graduation 79.6% of the time.
Evaluating Empowerment Language During the First-Year Student Transition
Authors: Wilhite Kathryn B.
Published: February 2020

Orientation programs can construct communication pieces that, using language balance, help students begin to define the institutional environment, their role within it, and the experiences they will have before and after enrollment. Additionally, orientation can host conversations about appropriate terms and phrases, as well as ways to define the institution and students themselves. Orientation can also begin a conversation about the institutional lexicon and whether the usage of words is delivering contradictory, confusing, or over-emphasized messages.
Instituting a Summer Supplemental Instruction Program
Authors: Marling David , Bradford Barbara
Published: February 2020

Supplemental instruction, a peer facilitated retention progam, was introduced at the University of North Texas in the summer of 1999. Several class sections, in which at least one third of the class traditionally receive "Ds," "Fs," or "Ws" (withdrawal from the class), were targeted for this pilot program. These courses included college algebra, general chemistry, animal biology and American government. The results indicated that 83% of the students attending supplemental instruction received a grade of "C" or better. Conversely, only 64% of those who did not attend received better than a "C". In addition, of the 44 students who withdrew from these classes, only 11% (five students) were supplemental instruction participants. These findings indicate that supplemental instruction is a valid retention program at the University of North Texas.

Authors: Osorio Jaime Restrepo
Published: February 2020

Se describe y valida un método de cromatografía líquida de fase reversa para la separación de 18 feniltiocarbamil derivados de aminoácidos en plasma humano, en más o menos 20 min, utilizando liofilización en el pre-tratamiento de las soluciones estándar y en la muestra. Se realizó en una primera fase, derivatización precolumna con fenilisotiocianato (PITC) y separación en columna PicoTag C18 a 38°C y detección UV a 254 nm. Se optimizaron el gradiente de elución con dos solventes (A: acetato de Sodio 0,150 M (pH 6,40) y acetonitrilo 94:6 v/v, y B: agua-acetonitrilo, 40:60 v/v), los tiempos, la temperatura de la columna, la velocidad del flujo y la composición de la fase móvil. Se determinó la exactitud (porcentaje de recuperación promedio de 90%), precisión (coeficiente de variación promedio menor del 5%), linealidad (coeficiente de correlación r=0,996 en promedio) y límites de detección y cuantificación desde 0,46 a 1,54 µM para Cisteína (Cys) hasta 1,42 a 4,57 µM en Leucina (Leu) respectivamente. En una segunda fase, se determinaron los niveles plasmáticos de aminoácidos libres teniendo en cuenta variaciones de los constituyentes dietéticos, tomando muestras de nueve adultos jóvenes sanos (5 hombres y 4 mujeres) los cuales fueron sometidos a la ingesta de tres tipos diferentes de dieta colombiana: tortilla de maíz normal (TMN), tortilla de maíz con queso (TMQ) y huevo cocido (HC). Se determinaron los niveles plasmáticos de aminoácidos postprandiales utilizando la técnica validada y por métodos clínicos convencionales, los niveles séricos de glucosa, colesterol, colesterol- HDL, triglicéridos, proteínas totales y albúmina. Al comparar los niveles post ingesta y basales en cada individuo, no se encontraron cambios significativos en los niveles de glucosa, colesterol, colesterol-HDL y triglicéridos, pero sí se observaron cambios estadísticamente significativos (p<0.01) para aminoácidos libres totales, proteína total y albúmina, siendo la dieta TMQ la que marcó la diferencia (18,81 ± 19,1% para el porcentaje de recambio de aminoácidos totales, 21,7 ± 12,1% para el porcentaje de recambio de proteínas totales séricas y 21,2 ± 14,8% para el porcentaje de recambio de albúminas séricas). El método validado en este estudio permite hacer análisis de aminoácidos con el cual se puede hacer inferencias sobre la calidad proteica de los alimentos y del efecto en la biodisponibilidad en seres humanos.

Authors: Abdurrahman Ahmad Fauzan , Ridwan Ari Yanuar , Santosa Budi
Published: February 2020

In the transportation process is closely related to the route, the route is the path through which a mode / vehicle to arrive at a destination. The route is related to the number of vehicles and the location where it goes. PT XYZ is a company engaged in fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), with the field makes the flow of goods speed will be high until the goods distribution process becomes fast and often. In the process of distribution is done by using 1 fleet in each customer. Currently in the process of distributing goods, the company still ignores the utility of the vehicles used, so the availability of empty space in capacity is still occurring and this makes the cost of transportation is high. Consolidation of multiple customers becomes possible, keeping in mind the time window, capacity and multiple products. This study designs a route by considering the limits to get the route, the number of vehicles, the utility increase of each vehicle and the optimal distance so that it can minimize transportation costs. The use of a genetic algorithm preceded by the nearest neighbor algorithm is used to solve this problem. Later the route will be formed and get the number of vehicles, the increase in vehicle utility and the optimal distance. This resulted in average vehicle utility improvement of 35,317%, vehicle repairs amounted to 34.05%, and distance of 10.075% so as to reduce transportation costs by 26.56% from initial conditions.

Augmented Reality-Based Mobile Application for Knowledge Transferring in The System of Rice Intensification
Authors: Kaewyong Phuripoj , Duangchant Shatchaya
Published: February 2020

Currently, the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is one method that can be applied and used to produce seeds of local rice species in highland areas. However, it can currently be seen that the traditional methods to transfer knowledge about SRI from the experts still have limitations in many aspects due to the number of farmers that have experienced success still being low. Some farmers do not have their own fields and it takes a period for farmers to test the rice growing. Currently, mobile devices are widely used in peoples’ lives. Many scholars focus on the application of mobile devices and the augmented reality (AR) technology for the simulation games in many issues while the use of AR-based mobile applications as the learning tools is not widespread. There-fore, in this study, we propose the development of an application on mobile devices with augmented reality technology in order to use it as media in sharing knowledge related to the methods of the System of Rice Intensification by virtual farms simulation. To examine the efficiency of this developed application. A total amount of participants were 512 farmers from 5 regions of Thailand. The experimental results demonstrated that the newly developed AR-based mobile application is effective for improved knowledge on the participants who used the developed application and it can help them to practice their SRI farming skill in the virtual farm simulation. This indicates that the developed AR-based mobile application is the benefits tool for the new knowledge transferring meth-od in the system of rice intensification. For future work, it is necessary to evaluate the farmer success after learning from this AR-based mobile application in order to study the impact of the new method of SRI knowledge transferring.

Specific Articulation Disorders in Children Native Speakers of Bulgarian – Distribution, Characteristics, Demographic Patterns
Authors: Todorova Ekaterina
Published: February 2020

The article presents a study of the articulation behaviour in 610 Bulgarian children aged 4 years and 5 months up to 7 years and 6 months. In 503 children (82%), incorrect articulation of consonant sounds from early, middle and late ontogenesis is established. The highest percentage of non-normative production is registered with sounds of early ontogenesis [l] 79% and [r] 43%. The percentage distribution of impaired articulation of ontogenetically middle fricatives is 27% for the group of [ʃ], [ʒ], [tʃ] and 20% for the group of [s], [z], [ts] respectively. Incorrect articulation of the ontogenetically early sounds [k, g] is recorded in 1% of the subjects surveyed for the [k] sound and 4% for the [g] sound. What is observed is the presence of age dynamics of impaired articulation where the number of children without disorders tends to increase with age. Another factor of influence on the distribution of the articulation disorders to be noted is the demographic one, i.e. the place of residence. The results obtained show a significant difference in the number of registered articulation disorders in children living in the capital of Bulgaria (Sofia) and living in other places. The established differences are related to the lack of a comprehensivel state policy (health and education) for the organization of prevention, diagnosis and therapy of communicative disorders.
Different Stakeholder’s Perspectives on Cultural Ecosystem Services: A Case Study of the Anzali Wetland, Iran
Authors: Ghorbanzadeh Sakineh , Björkqvist Kaj
Published: February 2020

The study investigates local level environmental conflict between two groups of stakeholders, by analysing their opinions about the importance and use of the cultural ecosystem services of the Anzali Wetland in northern Iran. Data were analysed statistically on the basis of semi-structured interviews with 193 respondents from (a) administrators within the areas of forestry, agriculture, environment, and harbour, and (b) non-administrators, i.e. local people such as fishermen, hunters, and visitors. The results showed that there was a difference between the two groups of stakeholders regarding use of, and attitudes towards cultural services in the wetland. The sense of belonging to the place, and the importance of the cultural heritage were cited as more important among the non-administrators. They also used the wetland more for activities such as sports, social activities, fishing and hunting, while the administrators appreciated the wetland more for the enjoyment of its beautiful natural scenery. The locals used the wetland practically, while the administrators saw the importance of the wetland in more abstract terms. The study highlights the importance of assessing viewpoints of a variety of stakeholders, and including also cultural values in decision-making about ecosystem services.

The purpose of this study is to analyse lower primary science textbooks (grade 1-3), which were implemented by the Ministry of Education in Malaysia, in terms of thinking skills. To achieve this, a tool for content analysis including thinking skill items will be constructed. Two science teachers have be trained to conduct the content analysis for grade 1-3 science textbooks, the reliability and validity of analysis have be verified using Cohen’s kappa statistic. From the results, it can be seen clearly that Prioritizing”, “Evaluation” and “Detecting Bias” thinking skills are not included at all in the science textbook from year one until year three. While, the most frequent critical thinking skills are “attributing”, “analysing”, “Grouping and Classifying” and “Sequencing” gradually. Most of the skills have been in the pictures for year one, and in the “text” and then within the “picture” and finally within the “activities” for both of year two and three. Such research help teachers and curriculum developers in the development and implementation of science curriculum to raise the level of achievement of thinking skills for students.Keyword: Thinking Skills, Critical Thinking Skills, Content Analysis and Science Textbooks
“School for Life “– Theoretical Background and Analyisis of Croatian Reform in School Education
Authors: Bušljeta Rona , Kardum Marko
Published: February 2020

Objections to the fact that education is, on the one hand, overburdened by theory and separate from practice or, on the other hand, completely separate from theory can be found in contemporary researches and theory of education. These objections also imply the problem of selecting the content, as well as the way of teaching and formulating the desired outcomes arising from the education process. One of the possible solutions to this problem is the concept of “school for life”, which, in the pursuit of John Dewey’s philosophy of education, leads to the abolition of the false dichotomy of theory and practice in education. Contemporary education can, therefore, no longer be understood as a process in which passive subjects acquire knowledge, but as activity of subjects that by experimenting and innovating adjust the content that comes from experience and ultimately applies them again to everyday life. In this way, the outcomes of the educational process should be understood not as dogmatic reproductions of existing knowledge, but as an entity’s ability to participate fully in the life of the community to which it belongs, including lifelong education, participating in the process of acquiring work experience and active, responsible and constructive action within community. The demand for meaningful education related to the subject’s developmental age, its interests and close to its everyday life experiences is also shaped by the current reform of the Croatian educational system, which is developing under the concept of “school for life”. The aim of this paper is to establish the theoretical framework of such a request, to analyse specific Croatian case and to examine how close to the contemporary tendencies in education Croatian reform in school education has really come to.

This article presents theoretical data on geometric and energetic features of halobenzenes and xylenes. Data were obtained from ab initio geometry optimization and frequency calculations at HF, B3LYP, MP2 and CCSD levels of theory on 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. In total, 1504 structures of halobenzenes, three structures of xylenes and one structure of benzene were generated and processed by custom-made codes in Mathematica. The quantum chemical calculation was completed in Q-Chem software package. Geometric and energetic data of the compounds are presented in this paper as supplementary tables. Raw output files as well as codes and scripts associated with production and extraction of data are also provided.
3D Convolutional Neural Networks and a CrossDocked Dataset for Structure-Based Drug Design

Published: February 2020

One of the main challenges in drug discovery is predicting protein-ligand binding affinity. Recently, machine learning approaches have made substantial progress on this task. However, current methods of model evaluation are overly optimistic in measuring generalization to new targets, and there does not exist a standard dataset of sufficient size to compare performance between models. We present a new dataset for structure-based machine learning, the CrossDocked2020 set, with 22.5 million poses of ligands docked into multiple similar binding pockets across the Protein Data Bank and perform a comprehensive evaluation of grid-based convolutional neural network models on this dataset. We also demonstrate how the partitioning of the training data and test data can impact the results of models trained with the PDBbind dataset, how performance improves by adding more, lower-quality training data, and how training with docked poses imparts pose sensitivity to the predicted affinity of a complex. Our best performing model, an ensemble of 5 densely connected convolutional newtworks, achieves a root mean squared error of 1.42 and Pearson R of 0.612 on the affinity prediction task, an AUC of 0.956 at binding pose classification, and a 68.4% accuracy at pose selection on the CrossDocked2020 set. By providing data splits for clustered cross-validation and the raw data for the CrossDocked2020 set, we establish the first standardized dataset for training machine learning models to recognize ligands in non-cognate target structures while also greatly expanding the number of poses available for training. In order to facilitate community adoption of this dataset for benchmarking protein-ligand binding affinity prediction, we provide our models, weights, and the CrossDocked2020 set at https://github.com/gnina/models.
Ion Pairing and Multiple Ion Binding in Calcium Carbonate Solutions Based on a Polarizable AMOEBA Force Field and Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics

Published: February 2020

The speciation of calcium carbonate in water is important to the geochemistry of the world’s oceans and has ignited significant debate regarding the mechanism by which nucleation occurs. Here it is vital to be able to quantify the thermodynamics of ion pairing versus higher order association processes in order to distinguish between possible pathways. Given that it is experimentally challenging to quantify such species, here we determine the thermodynamics for ion pairing and multiple binding of calcium carbonate species using bias-enhanced molecular dynamics. In order to examine the uncertainties underlying these results, we have derived a new polarizable force field for both calcium carbonate and bicarbonate in water based on the AMOEBA model to compare against our earlier rigid-ion model, both of which are further benchmarked against ab initio molecular dynamics for the ion pair. Both force fields consistently indicate that the association of calcium carbonate ion pairs is stable, though with an equilibrium constant that is lower than for ion pairing itself.
