I am so excited to vlog for The Student Midwife journal! The new series ‘The Bare Necessities’ will comprise of me sharing my thoughts, mostly in rhyme, on the current challenges in modern day maternity care. The need for students to remember the reasons why they came into the profession and hold on to their values is greater than ever. We came up with many ideas for the title of this area; ‘Fundamental Foundations’, ‘Firm Foundations’, ‘Speaking Out’, ‘Vital Voices’, ‘Relational Roots’ but we finally settled on ‘The Bare Necessities’.

Authors: Dzik Sara , Mituniewicz Tomasz , Załuski Dariusz
Published: September 2022

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of liming and a biocidal paint, used in poultry houses as part of disinfection and disinsection procedures, on the growth performance and blood biochemical parameters of broiler chickens. It was assumed that in successive experimental runs (replicates), the active ingredients contained in the tested slow-release water-based long-lasting biocidal paint would not significantly compromise bird performance or blood biochemistry. The following performance parameters were evaluated: body weight (BW), body weight gain (BWG), mortality, the feed conversion ratio (FCR) and the European Broiler Index (EBI). Blood samples were analyzed to determine the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), urea, cholesterol and triglycerides. It was found that broilers from group BP (biocidal paint) were characterized by better growth performance than birds from group L (liming). Long-term application of the biocidal paint had no significant negative effect on the growth performance or blood biochemical parameters of chickens. However, changes were noted in blood cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in trials II and III, depending on the applied disinfection and disinsection method. The average values of these parameters were significantly higher in group BP in trials II and III, but the observed differences were at the significance threshold. The results of this study suggest that the innovative biocidal paint can be applied in poultry houses as an effective disinfectant and disinsectant.
The Community of Inquiry framework: Future Directions in the Covid-19 Era
Authors: Vaughan Norman
Published: September 2022

Over the past couple of years, the majority of higher education institutions have pivoted to a form of remote or emergency learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, the possibilities and constraints associated with these blended and online approaches to learning were in many ways unfairly put to the test as many educators lacked a research-based framework to guide the redesign of their courses and programs. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000) and the Shared Metacognition (MC) construct (Garrison & Akyol, 2015a) could be used to intentionally design, facilitate, and direct a collaborative constructive learning environment in order for students to learn how to co-regulate their learning (shared metacognition).

Authors: Heiser Rebecca , Lazou Chrysoula , Mavraki Anastasia , Psychogiou Maria , Palalas Aga , Walsh Pamela
Published: September 2022

Transnational distance education is a strategic practice that contributes to the internationalization of higher education. However, little is known about the transnational student learning experience and the practices necessary to support intended outcomes, including preparing post-graduates with essential skills and competencies for employment and lifelong learning within their local communities, country of origin, and globalized economy. Therefore, this study explores the factors contributing to the success and challenges encountered during a graduate program undertaken at an open, distance education university in Canada from the perspective of Greek female graduates. By employing a collaborative autoethnography approach, researcher-participants explored critical components including accessibility, communication, international perspectives and application, and transformation for lifelong learning to support quality dimensions in internationalization practices. As a result, we find a need for a more purposeful and comprehensive integration of internationalization practices across an institution to support and enhance the knowledge process that flows across borders through online learning environments and communication.
Reflective Student Engagement: A Necessity for Effective ODL Delivery
Authors: O-Enwerem Chuks O , Chuks-Enwerem Uche
Published: September 2022

Education providers need to be effectively engaged with their students in order to better understand their expectations and therefore tailor their deliveries to meet their needs accordingly. In a normal conventional, face-to-face small class arrangement, this is feasible and even sufficient but not so in an era of mass education delivered through open and distance learning method coupled with student diversity and less homogeneity in their class composition. This arrangement presents a challenge for teachers to understand the peculiarities and expectations of their students. To achieve better inclusive engagement with students and to deliver learning content based on their expectations, a more formal means to understand students as learners becomes necessary. This calls for a method that can enable teachers to learn and understand students’ expectations of teaching, learning and assessment as well as their conceptions and views of learning, their belief system and their reflective thinking capabilities. Survey was used in this study and 100 students of National Open University of Nigeria, were randomly selected. Sixteen item questionnaire administered with 56 returns. Results showed effective engagement of students occurs through class participation, interaction and collaboration with peers, attentiveness in class activity, emotional connection – and were found necessary for effective open and distance learning delivery. Management needs to also make deliberate effort to enhance students’ engagement by being responsive to their (students’) needs as expressed from time to time, such as extra-curricular activities and creation of physical interaction between and among staff and faculty.

The field of technology has experienced phenomenal growth. Moreover, the evolutionof cellphones has become a major draw for customers. The aim of this study is tovalidate the effect of marketing mix components and interest in purchasing decisions forSamsung brand smartphones in the Tambaksari District (Surabaya City). A total of 498informants were recruited and interviewed for data collection on pricing, promotions,distributions, interests, and purchasing decisions at cellular kiosks and electronic stores.After the data were collected, they were analyzed using the multiple linear regressionmethod. The model feasibility procedure concluded that all seven hypotheses wereaccepted (p<0.05). In the direct effect, any increase in price, promotion, distribution,and interest can increase purchasing decisions. From the indirect effect, it is evidentthat interest is a consistent mediator in increasing its influence on price, promotion,and distribution on purchasing decisions. The marketing channel applied by the sellerinfluences consumer decisions through interest. This study’s approach should thereforebe developed through constructive consumer attention.

The information revolution and digital communication technologies formed the nucleus of major transformations in the modern era. This transformation was not limited to technical transformation and information and communication technology only, but also extended to various aspects of social, economic and political life....etc. This revolution has resulted in many challenges and changes facing contemporary societies, including our Islamic societies, as a result of the astonishing development in smart communication technologies and tablets, and the applications and software it left behind, which had a great impact on the process of easy access to information and virtual communication, and thus penetration and intrusion into cultures and societies. With ease. These rapid transformations in our Islamic societies have weakened their ability to clearly distinguish between right and wrong values ??and cultures that cross the borders of countries and nations, and thus weakened their ability to pick and choose between conflicting values ??in the contemporary world. In short, the effects of digital transformation appear through the lifestyles that social media reflects that do not exist in the reality of our Arab and Islamic societies, where the manifestations of wealth, consumption habits, eating and drinking methods, fashion and entertainment, as well as the presence of power at the top of the ladder of values, glorification of the authority of sex, pornography and tendency Individualism, irresponsible liberation, justifying illegal relationships and encouraging family disintegration and deviant behavior in exciting ways that hide behind implicit calls to adopt and encourage them, making it difficult for individuals to distinguish their content easily, which negatively affects the structure of societies in terms of intellectual and moral educationand religious.This research is an attempt to shed light on the extent of the reflection of communication and information technology on the value system of our Islamic societies, and work to avoid the negative effects of this transformation with deep awareness and enter into the conflict generated by it with a strong will by confronting the authority of digital information that operates outside the scope of the personal awareness of individuals in an attempt to modify their behavior to serve its goals and objectives.

Authors: Harmon Janis M. , Fraga Lucretia M. , Martin Elizabeth , Wood Karen D.
Published: September 2022

To achieve language proficiency, older English learners face the challenge of simultaneously acquiring the academic language of school while building the vocabulary base of a mature readers and language users--that is, high frequency words found in a variety of texts and known by proficient readers. One particularly useful classroom tool that supports vocabulary learning is the word wall. While traditionally associated with primary and elementary classrooms, the word wall, if implemented appropriately, may potentially aid the vocabulary development of English learners. In this study, we compared the use of digital word walls to two research-based interactive word wall formats with high school English learners. While we found no differences in word-meaning acquisition, the level of engagement was higher when students participated in the digital word wall format where they developed vocabulary vodcasts using Photostory. All three interactive word wall instructional techniques are described in this article.
Helping Struggling Readers Track Their Own Learning Growth
Authors: Szabo Susan
Published: September 2022

This is a classroom strategy that helps the student become responsible for their own learning. Have you ever been in a classroom where your struggling readers say, “This is stupid” or “I don’t know anything anyway, I’m dumb?” These statements, made by struggling students validate that the affective side of learning is a powerful determiner on how struggling students’ approach learning and show just how discouraged they are with the reading/learning process when they are asked to work at a frustrational level. However, effective teachers have long recognized that attitudes, activating prior knowledge, peer discussion and summarizing are activities that support struggling readers as they learn to read (Alderman, 2003; Bandura, 1997; Bandura, Schunk, 1981; Keene & Zimmerman, 1997/2007; Rosenblatt, 1969, 1978; Wang, 2000). Therefore, the purpose of this article is to share an old strategy, the KWL, which was modified and used in a new way (see Appendix A). This new way provided a means for students to track their own learning growth, which in turn changed their attitudes toward learning. This is an important step, as the common core standards state that students are to work toward meeting expectations so they are prepared to enter college and/or the workforce (Council of Chief State School Officers and National Governors Association, 2010).
Close Reading of Informational Texts: Assessment-Driven Instruction in Grades 3-8
Authors: Soares Lina B. , Draper Christine A.
Published: September 2022

The role of close reading in the 21st century has become a necessary component of reading comprehension more than ever. Given the extraordinary amount of informational texts presented in print and digital formats that students encounter in today’s classrooms, the need for students to engage in critical reading to determine what a text says explicitly is essential for students to become critical consumers of information. In addition, the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) place further emphasis on the importance of teaching students to engage in “close, attentive reading” as critical text analysis relates to 80% of the Reading standards at each grade level (International Reading Association Common Core State Standards [CCSS] Committee, 2012). Sunday Cummins’ (2013) Close Reading of Informational Texts; Assessment- Driven Instruction in Grades 3-8 offers teachers a wealth of tools to teach close reading wrapped in one book. According to Cummins, close reading is the process of understanding how the words on a page fit together to support the author’s central ideas. Students examine the text’s structure, key vocabulary to build conceptual meaning, and connect to their own prior knowledge to use the information and ideas drawn from texts as the basis to grasp meaning.

Authors: Cuevas Joshua
Published: September 2022

This study examined an instructional method that combined scaffolding and Schema Theory to address the reading comprehension of 105 urban high school students. Participants in the treatment condition read a pair of advance organizers and were asked to paraphrase them in writing to stimulate durable memory representation prior to reading the main passages. Students were assessed on their comprehension of both a narrative and an essay to measure treatment effects across text genres. Low level readers were expected to show greater benefits. Both high and low level readers from the treatment group benefited from the advance information on both passages. The results suggest that comprehension may be readily addressed via schema activation through advance organizers paired with cognitive strategies designed to assist with the encoding of information into long term memory.

Autenticação não-invasiva para transações financeiras hands-free em locais conectados confiáveis
Authors: Hayashi Victor Takashi , Ruggiero Wilson Vicente
Published: September 2022

Assistentes pessoais em dispositivos móveis e smart speakers permitem transações financeiras sem o uso das mãos por comandos de voz. Mesmo que essas transações de voz sejam úteis para os usuários finais em ambientes conectados confiáveis, elas são suscetíveis a ataques típicos a protocolos de autenticação (e.g., ataque de replay). O uso da autenticação tradicional baseada em conhecimento ou posse de dispositivo confiável com interações invasivas adicionais prejudica a usabilidade. Soluções propostas na literatura com dispositivos confiáveis usam Funções Físicas Não-Clonáveis (PUF) com processos de cadastramento complexo. É proposto um mecanismo de autenticação não-invasivo com protocolo desafio-resposta com um dispositivo autônomo IoT confiável integrado com o comportamento de um local conectado confiável para autenticação continuada. O protocolo desafio-resposta foi validado por meio de provas formais de segurança com a lógica Burrows-Abadi-Needham e ferramenta Scyther. Uma prova de conceito com websockets apresentou um tempo médio de resposta de 383ms para autenticação mútua usando um protocolo de 6 mensagens com um processo de cadastro simples. Realizamos o reconhecimento de atividades sem o uso das mãos de um usuário específico com base em dados de uma casa inteligente de dois meses, obtendo uma acurácia de 97% e uma revocação de 81%. Dado o princípio de privacidade de minimização de dados, é possível reduzir o número total de séries temporais de eventos de casa inteligente de 7 para 5. Quando comparado às soluções invasivas existentes, o mecanismo não invasivo proposto contribui para aprimorar a usabilidade dos assistentes virtuais das instituições financeiras, ao mesmo tempo que mantêm a segurança e a privacidade do usuário.

INXU: A Flow-Based Intrusion Prevention System for Home IoT Networks
Authors: Morais Sávyo V. , Farias Claudio M.
Published: September 2022

Due to the low resources and maintainability in home Internet of Things (IoT) devices, they can represent a risk to end-user’s security and privacy. Several proposals tried to manage new vulnerabilities in this scenario, but it is difficult to keep signatures updated or identify anomalous traffic. To reinforce home IoT security, we propose INXU, a flow-based Intrusion Prevention System that protects home IoT devices by blocking traffic related to well known malicious activities. INXU introduces the concept of Malicious Traffic Description (MTD), a data-model to describe traffic related to malicious activities that enables Security Experts to protect home networks and keeps end-user’s privacy. Experiments using Mirai botnet have shown the efficacy of our solution.

Despite the century-long reiteration of the principle of territorial sovereignty, States are increasingly resorting to extraterritorial jurisdiction. This book comparatively analyses this phenomenon in US and European practice in the areas of economic sanctions, export control, anti-corruption and business & human rights. It makes the case that the territoriality-based system of jurisdiction is inadequate for allocating regulatory competences between States in international practice. As a result, this book proposes a new approach to conceptualizing jurisdiction by moving away from formal territoriality and towards considering extraterritorial jurisdiction from its function as an exercise of public authority.

Scaling up Contraception through Social and Behavior Change Intervention in Low and Middle-Income Countries
Authors: Franco Apiyanteide
Published: September 2022

Despite its benefit and aged long practice, contraceptive use continues to be a problem in low and middle-income countries like Nigeria with one of the highest maternal and child mortality across the globe. This chapter aims to discuss social and behavior change interventions needed to scale up contraceptive use in low and middle-income countries. A review of literature in addition to field experiences in promoting contraceptives was made. Evidence reveals that a well plan and carefully implemented social and behavior change intervention based on formative research is key to improved contraceptive use needed for improved maternal and child health outcomes in low and middle-income countries. Contraception is the right of every woman and a recommended practice for the health and development of any nation.
Application of Actinobacteria in Agriculture, Nanotechnology, and Bioremediation

“Actinobacteria” are of significant economic value to mankind since agriculture and forestry depend on their soil system contribution. The organic stuff of deceased creatures is broken down into soil, and plants are able to take the molecule up again. Actinobacteria can be used for sustainable agriculture as biofertilizers for the improvement of plant growth or soil health by promoting different plant growth attributes, such as phosphorus and potassium solubilization, production of iron-chelating compounds, phytohormones, and biological nitrogen attachment even under the circumstances of natural and abiotic stress. Nanotechnology has received considerable interest in recent years due to its predicted impacts on several key fields such as health, energy, electronics, and the space industries. Actinobacterial biosynthesis of nanoparticles is a dependable, environmentally benign, and significant element toward green chemistry, which links together microbial biotechnology and nanobiology. Actinobacterial-produced antibiotics are common in nearly all of the medical treatments, and they are also recognized to aid in the biosynthesis of excellent surface and size properties of nanoparticles. Bioremediation using microorganisms is relatively safe and more efficient. Actinobacteria use carbon toxins to synthesize economically viable antibiotics, enzymes, and proteins as well. These bacteria are the leading microbial phyla that are beneficial for deterioration and transformation of organic and metal substrates.

Authors: Issom David-Zacharie
Published: September 2022

This chapter will provide a state of the art of digital health interventions for people with sickle cell disease. It will use WHO classification of digital health interventions to elaborate on existing intervention, the gaps, and how technology could be useful to support people with sickle cell disease. A description of the existing possibilities, the current trends, and the future opportunities will be provided. As well, methodologies to increase patient adherence to digital health interventions, the importance of participatory approaches, open innovation, and patient-led approaches to designing such interventions will be discussed. Importantly, a holistic/planetary health approach will be chosen to introduce the subject and ensure to keep a broad eye on the domain and to include sustainability challenges.
Towards a Precise and Mathematical Fractalesque Architecture
Authors: Charles Driscoll John
Published: September 2022

This paper reviews a design process in the context of algorithmic architecture design for establishing a scale-invariant and rigorous self-similar motif(s) that can be applied generally to any design problem. An architect (author) defines a genetic algorithm (GA) using a population of design variants iterated over multiple generations. Exemplars are selected based on their fractal dimension (FD) along with the architect and fit to solve a real-world architectural problem. The algorithm is coded in Python and Ruby with an interface in SketchUp. The architect is able to modify exemplars and iterate them as many times as required in the GA until an acceptable solution is achieved. Solutions are critiqued by a jury of professional architects regarding their fractal qualities. Results show a fractal motif that is not strictly self-similar and not strictly scale-invariant. Discussion is focused here on the philosophical implications of this research in terms of better defining a fractalesque architecture. The case for a more precise and mathematical fractalesque architecture is discussed concluding that further development of the algorithmic design process is necessary to clarify the value of such a tool.
In Vitro Cytotoxic and Apoptosis Induction Potential of Two Plant Extracts on HeLa Cells
Authors: Dağdeviren Özsöylemez Özlem , Özcan Arican Gül
Published: September 2022

Natural products are commonly used for developing anticancer drugs that are beneficial for various cancer types. The aim of this study is to apply Colchicum umbrosum Steven and Colchicum baytopiorum CD Brickell (one of the endemic species in Turkey) extracts on HeLa cell lines and determine changes in cytotoxicity and viability. For this aim, kinetic parameters such as proliferation rate have been determined by MTT assay, and apoptotic index (AI) has been researched by fluorescence microscopies using DAPI staining. Also, some apoptosis-related genes have been examined by the RT-PCR method. Five different concentrations of both extracts from the two Colchicum species have cytotoxic effects and it has been understood that HeLa cells were more sensitive to the most effective concentration of the C. baytopiorum extract, which is 0.1 mg/ml, and it showed antitumor effects by causing apoptosis for 48 h. The cytotoxic activity and apoptotic effects of Colchicum umbrosum Steven and Colchicum baytopiorum (Colchicaceae/Liliaceae) have been studied for the first time on HeLa cell lines. We suggested that the medicines derived from natural products seem to be a new promising treatment for cancer.
