Authors: Aragón Lourdes , Sánchez Susana , García Salado Vanesa
Published: September 2021

Este trabajo estudia el discurso compartido en aulas de Educación Infantil como parte del proceso de alfabetización científica. Se analizan las intervenciones de docentes y niños de 4 y 5 años en el discurso compartido y los esquemas de conocimiento que emergen durante asambleas en torno al huerto ecológico escolar. Las intervenciones han sido transcritas y analizadas con un sistema emergente de categorías consensuado entre expertos. Los resultados indican que la intervención docente en 4 y 5 años se orienta principalmente a la petición de información y aceptación por repetición. Se observa una mayor frecuencia en 5 años de aceptación por reelaboración y retar planteamientos. Respecto de la participación infantil, tanto el grupo de 4 años como el de 5 repiten, elaboran y reestructuran la información dada, si bien en 5 años es menos frecuente la simple repetición. En cuanto al avance conceptual, se identifican respectivamente para las aulas de 4 y 5 años un total de 30 y 56 esquemas de conocimiento vinculados a modelos iniciales del ciclo de vida de las plantas y la idea infantil de huerto. Se concluye que el huerto ecológico es un contexto adecuado para propiciar el discurso científico en edades tempranas.

Abstract: Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that requires treatment for a long time. This disease is easy to recur when the individual is under psychological pressure. This condition makes the family as the patient's closest party required to always accompany and assist him in carrying out activities. This situation makes the family feel that they are not free to work so that it makes them feel physically, psychologically and socially depressed as a result, the quality of family life decreases. The purpose of this study was to analyze Self Help Group (SHG) in improving the quality of family life caring for schizophrenia patients. This study used a quasy experimental design with a pre-post test with control group design. The study population was 40 respondents. The sampling technique used purposive sampling which a research sample of 36 respondents divided into 18 respondents in each control and treatment group. The results of this study showed that the average score of family quality of life in caring for schizophrenia patients in the control group before the health education intervention was 88.5 and after intervention was 92.78, while before the intervention in the treatment group was 87.28 and after it was 111.06. The result have significant ρ-value of 0,000 was also obtained, which means that there are differences in the quality of family life in caring for schizophrenic patients after being given intervention in the control and treatment groups. So it can be concluded that SHG is one of therapy applied as an intervention for families in order to improve their quality of life while caring for schizophrenia patients. Keywords: schizophrenia, family, quality of life, self-help group

Published: September 2021

The geographical routes and time schedule of spread of C. auris – the fungus first identified in 2009 are discussed. Data on the increasing frequency of C. auris infections and rapid dissemination of the fungus from the regions of origin – southern Asia, eastern Asia, southern Africa and southern America – towards different regions of all continents except Antarctica, especially after 2016, are presented. Three different clades are encountered in Great Britain, all four clades – in the USA. South Asian clade is currently present in Russia: the introduction was associated with labor migration from Middle Asia. The necessity of C. auris surveillance, essential for the establishment of sources and routes of transmission and dissemination of different clades is emphasized. A window of possibilities is still present to prevent further spread of the fungus with the ability to cause outbreaks of hospital infections including intensive care departments. Rapid implementation of preventive measures during the pandemic of COVID-19 are needed taking into account introduction of fungus in new countries and clinics, as well as increased frequency of C. auris infections in some hospitals for patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Fly ash is a by-product of coal combustion, made up of particles that are collected through various methods. This by-product has been used successfully as a partial Portland cement replacement in concrete, but the performance predictions of fly ash in concrete have been difficult to predict, especially at high fly ash replacement rates. This study focuses on comparing the performance of concrete with a variety of fly ash mixtures as well as the particle distribution and chemical makeup of fly ash. The slump, unit weight, compressive strength, and isothermal calorimetry tests were used to measure the performance of concrete at 0%, 20%, and 40% fly ash replacement levels. The particle distribution of fly ash was measured with an automated scanning electron microscope. Additionally, the major and minor oxides from the chemical makeup of fly ash were measured for each mixture and inputted into a table. The particle distribution and chemical makeup of fly ash were compared to the performance of slump, unit weight, compressive strength, isothermal calorimetry, and surface electrical resistivity.
Design of ANN Based Machine Learning Method for Crop Prediction
Authors: Sairamkumar S.
Published: September 2021

In agriculture, crop yield estimation is critical. Remote sensing is being used in farming systems to increase yield efficiency and lower operating costs. Remote sensing-based strategies, on the other hand, necessitate extensive processing, necessitating the use of machine learning models for crop yield prediction. Descriptive analytics is a form of analytics that is used to accurately estimate crop yields. This paper discusses the most recent research on machine learning-based strategies for efficient crop yield prediction. In general, the training model's accuracy should be higher, and the error rate should be low. As a result, significant effort is being put forward to propose a machine learning technique that will provide high precision in crop yield prediction.

Introdução: Encerrados os Jogos Olímpicos de Tóquio 2020/2021 mais uma vez constatou-se o mesmo cenário que, apesar do discurso oposto e oficial do Comitê Olímpico Internacional (COI), talvez as olimpíadas não sejam inclusivas como prega o ideário dos gestores do evento. Soma-se a isso a recorrente politização da mesma, com boicotes e punições a países com claros vieses, onde alguns são punidos e outros não. Esse cenário reforça a percepção de que para além de um grande negócio, os esportes olímpicos podem ser o maior evento midiático de exclusão do mundo. Objetivos: 1) realizar a estatística descritiva dos países medalhistas nas Olimpíadas de Tóquio; desenvolver e comparar dois algoritmos de machine learning para classificar o IDH dos países em função das medalhas obtidas. 2) refletir sobre a natureza segregatória e ideológica do maior evento esportivo midiático da sociedade líquida. Métodos: Os dados foram coletados nas publicações do COI, sendo considerados os países medalhistas. Os algoritmos com os classificadores que utilizam a regressão linear e a árvore de decisão foram desenvolvidos em Python 3.1. Foi utilizado o software SPSS(R) 26.0, para os cálculos da estatística descritiva, sendo p<0,05. Resultados: Países com maiores IDHs tendem a obter maior número de medalhas; mas isso não é uma regra geral. Os algoritmos desenvolvidos mostraram forte associação entre IDH e número de medalhas, podendo auxiliar no desenvolvimento de estratégias de gestão olímpicas mais eficientes, ou seja, aquelas onde o dinheiro público para as Olimpíadas seja mais investimento do que gasto. Conclusão: O Brasil pode melhorar seus resultados em olimpíadas à medida que investir em políticas públicas aplicadas na escola básica, na saúde e promovendo a qualidade de vida de sua população, assim, sendo um belo exemplo para o mundo.

Happiness and surprise are associated with worse truth discernment of COVID-19 headlines among social media users in Nigeria
Authors: Rosenzweig Leah R. , Bago Bence , Berinsky Adam J. , Rand David G.
Published: September 2021

Do emotions we experience after reading headlines help us discern true from false information or cloud our judgement? Understanding whether emotions are associated with distinguishing truth from fiction and sharing information has implications for interventions designed to curb the spread of misinformation. Among 1,341 Facebook users in Nigeria, we find that emotions—specifically happiness and surprise—are associated with greater belief in and sharing of false, relative to true, COVID-19 headlines. Respondents who are older are more reflective, and do not support the ruling party are better at discerning true from false COVID-19 information.

This writing is oriented to find out how the legal aspects of evidence on cybercrime in the national criminal law system and law enforcement policies against cybercrime. The method uses is normatif legal research. Based on the results of the study it can be seen that the legal aspects of proving cybercrime have been strictly regulated in several laws and regulations in positive law in Indonesia. Provisions regarding Cybercrime are also regulated in international regulations without reducing the opportunity for each individual to continue to develop creativity in developing information technology. Law enforcement policies against cybercrime are carried out with a penal and non-penal approach. Seen from the point of view of criminal policy, efforts to overcome cybercrime certainly cannot be done partially with criminal law (penal), but must also be taken with an integral/systemic approach as well as a preventive approach (non-penal).

Technology has a central role in accelerating the development of a country. The need for technology is pursued through a technology transfer process. The purpose of this study was to analyze the implications of patent obligations on the implementation of technology transfer in relation to the principle of property law, namely the droit de suite. This research uses legal research methods using primary and secondary legal materials. The approach used is a statutory approach) and a conceptual approach to be analyzed in depth with a prescriptive method. The results of the research show that the provisions referred to in Article 20 of the Patent Law require special exemptions for patent holders in the form of Institute of Science and Technology in order to carry out obligations related to making products or using processes in Indonesia to support technology transfer. The recommendation from this research is that there is a need for an exception to Article 20 of the Patent Law, by providing room for foreign patent holders not to immediately fulfill the obligations in Article 20 of the Patent Law or to make amendments (amendments) to these provition. Keywords : Implications, Patents, Technology Transfer.

This study aims to examine the effect of honey from Apis cerana bee colonies on nutritional status in children aged two to five years old in the working area of ​​Mok Community Health Center, Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara - Indonesia. The study was conducted in May - June 2018, with quasi-experiment design with pre and post test in one group. The sample in this study amounted to 35 children under five years old, with malnutritional status. Nutritional status is determined by the weight-for-age. The used honey was honey from the A. cerana bee colonies harvested in Manggarai Regency. Honey was consumed by children as much as 5 mL, twice a day, morning and evening, for 8 weeks. Nutritional status measurements were taken at 0 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks before and after honey consumed regularly. Post-Hoc data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a significant increase in children's nutritional status at week 4 and week 8. The percentage of children with malnutritional status after being given honey A. cerana regularly for 4 weeks fell to 57% and good nutrition increased to 43%. Meanwhile, after 8 weeks of honey, the malnutritional status has decreased to 31%, and vice versa 69% of children have increased their nutritional status to good nutrition. The results of a comparative test of increasing nutritional status between 4 and 8 weeks showed that there was a significant difference between improving the nutritional status of children under five years old who consumed honey for 4 weeks and for 8 weeks. The research  shows the length of time consumed  A. cerana honey regularly in children aged two to five years old, will have a positive effect to the nutritional status from poor to good nutritional status.

In poultry breeding program the success of artificial insemination (AI) is highly influenced by  the quality of semen. The aim of the present research was to evaluate the variations in semen characteristics of three phenotypes of chicken of the same specie raised in Akko, Nigeria. A total of 9 cocks from threedifferent phenotypes; Red feathered (n = 3), White feathered (n = 3) and Black feathered (n =3). The semen was evaluated for macroscopic (i.e. semen volume and colour) and microscopic (i.e. sperm concentration, motility and morphology) criteria after being collected by abdominal massage method. There were phenotypes variation (P > 0.05)effects on semen motility, number of live/dead sperm and sperm abnormalities. No differences(P>0.05) were observed on volume, colour, concentration, mass motility and pH of semen. The observed sperm progressive motility was ranged from 90.5 ±1.21% to 95.09±0.82%. The White feathered strain had the highest sperm progressive motility (P<0.05)and highest value for live and normal sperm (93.5±0.63% and 87.90±0.25%), while the black feathered had the least and (92.4±0.73% and 85.5±0.50%) respectively. The Red feathered strain had the highest value for both dead and sperm head defect (9.2±0.33%and 7.0±0.52%). Whilst, the Black feathered strain scored the highest percentage of both sperm tail and neck defects with values ranged from 11.4±0.43%to 14.2±1.08% and 19.4±0.53% to 23.6±0.69%, respectively. This study suggests that there are large variations present in semen characteristics of different phenotypes of cocks; White feathered strain is likely have better semen characteristics compared to Red and Black feathered strains. Therefore, White feathered strain can potentially be used in artificial insemination (AI) for chicken production and improvement.

Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea) is potentially reared as aquaculture species but feeding regimes and nutrition for this clam remain questioned. The growth and survival of C. fluminea were evaluated with the assessment of feeding regimes raised in captive rearing treatments (with substrates) fed with spirulina (Arthrospira platensis). Three feeding methods were applied, Treatment A: deposit-feeding, Treatment B: suspension feeding, and Treatment C: combination deposit and suspension-feeding. Shell length (SL) and weight of the individuals were taken every 7 d which last for 6 wk. Condition index (CI), instantaneous growth rates of weight (Kw), and SL (KL) were determined after the experiment ends. Water parameters such as temperature (°C), pH, ammonia (NH4), and dissolved oxygen (DO) also being monitored along the experimental period. Significant weight gained (Kw) and CI was found higher in C. fluminea fed in Treatment C, where the increment was recorded at 6.24x10-3±2.4x10-3gday-1 and 4.34 ±0.3 respectively. Whereas, the increment of SL (KL) was insignificant in all treatments. Survival rates (SR) were greater than 95% in all treatments. The rearing conditions are significant factors that affect the feed utilization for their growth. The growth and survival indicate the specific feeding methods for captive C. fluminea and spirulina feasibility as their feed.

Saline water submergence is a newly emerge abiotic stress jeopardizing rice production especially for the rice fields located nearby or alongside coastal areas. The stress was caused by the intrusion of sea water into those rice fields causing flash flood mainly during monsoon season. The present study was conducted to evaluate susceptibility level of selected Malaysian rice cultivars to saline water submergence at seedling stage based on the morphological traits and survival rate. There were six genotypes involved in the study mainly IR64-Sub1 as submergence tolerant control, Pokkali as salinity tolerant control, IR64 as susceptible control and MR297, MR284 and MR253 as local rice cultivars, respectively. The experiment was conducted using split plot design with three replications. On the day 14 after germination, all rice seedlings were totally submerged of about one-meter depth in a polyethylene tank containing saline water at 0, 4, 8 and 12 dS/m for 14 days while the non-submerged plant was control of the experiment. Seedling growth attributes and survival rate were recorded before, right after de-submerged and 14 days after de-submerged. All genotypes however were susceptible to saline water submergence at 4, 8 and 12 dS/m. In contrast, under 0 dS/m, IR64-Sub1 recorded significantly higher survival rate at 83% as compared to MR284 (17%), MR297 (17%), Pokkali (8%), MR253 (0%) and IR64 (0%).  All genotypes were not survived under saline submergence. Therefore, further phenotypic screening of rice genetic resources originated from or nearby coastal areas could be suggested in order to increase chance of identifying potentially tolerant genotype to saline water submergence.

Eleusine indica, a perennial herb that belongs to the Poaceae family, is locally known as “rumput sambau”. The species can be found in the tropical regions and it is the only species of Eleusine in Malaysia. In India, some parts of the plant such as the roots and the seeds are used as food and can be eaten raw or cooked. The young seedling is also used as a side dish with rice, while the seeds are sometimes used as a famine food. Although this grass is not considered as food in Malaysia, the local people utilise it to treat various ailments such as hastening the placenta delivery after childbirth, pain relieve for vaginal bleeding, asthma, fever, urinary infection, haemorrhoids, and tonic for flu related symptoms. Due to wide spectrum of traditional usage, a complete review of E. indica which focusing on food and medicinal perspectives is necessary to organize and evaluate its potential for further studies and commercial exploitation. The information on the species was collected from scientific journals, books, and reports searched through available databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Directory of Open Access Journals, Science Direct, Bioline International, and Reaxys. Contextually, the present review reveals that apart from the roots, the plant is relatively safe to ingest. It represents a rich source of nutrients and contains therapeutic phytochemicals such as flavonoids, steroids, essential oils, cardiac glycosides, coumarins, fatty acids, anthraquinones, anthrones, triterpenes, tannins, and alkaloids. Thus, E. indica can be considered as a natural reservoir for both food and medicine.

Published: September 2021

The impact of COVID-19 has seen many schools across the globe transition from face-to-face teaching to emergency remote teaching in a short period of time. This has impacted the quality of students' educational experiences. The study reported here draws on data collected from students, teachers, and parents in eight schools in New South Wales, Australia using a qualitative approach including surveys, and draws a Community of Inquiry framework to understand the experiences of students. Results of the study showed that social impacts were extensive and that limited interactions resulted in the loss of engagement and motivation for a majority of students who also reported a high level of understanding of what was expected of them but felt the workload was too high. It is suggested that more time be provided for social engagement to support motivation and engagement.

Published: September 2021

The aim of this article is to expand the knowledge of the history of Latvia in the 20th century, analyzing the sanitary situation in Latgale in 1920. The source of information – 8 Latvian newspapers from the year 1920. In the beginning of the article, the economic situation of Latgale (collapse of the farming, lack of goods, speculation) during the War of Independence and in the post-war months is de-scribed. Further, the prevalence of typhoid and dysentery epidemics is analyzed, as well as measures tak-en to improve the sanitary condition - events organized by Latgale local municipalities, assistance of Lat-vian Government and ministries in combating diseases in Latgale, as well as foreign (USA, England) as-sistance. The study allowed to conclude that Latvian newspapers are valuable historical sources in the study of the sanitary situation. The press widely and regularly informed about the dangers of the spread of diseases and explained the measures that were taken to improve the health of the population. In com-parison to the contemporary research, in 1920, due to objective reasons, the newspapers did not inform about the sanitary situation in the Latvian and Polish Armies, as well as about the Army's involvement in combating the diseases.
