E-learning system to improve the endoscopic diagnosis of early gastric cancer
Authors: Yao Kenshi , Yao Takashi , Uedo Noriya , Doyama Hisashi , Ishikawa Hideki , Nimura Satoshi , Takahashi Yuichi
Published: August 2023

We developed three e-learning systems for endoscopists to acquire the necessary skills to improve the diagnosis of early gastric cancer (EGC) and demonstrated their usefulness using randomized controlled trials. The subjects of the three e-learning systems were “detec­tion”, “characterization”, and “preoperative assessment”. The contents of each e-learning system included “technique”, “knowledge”, and “obtaining experience”. All e-learning systems proved useful for endoscopists to learn how to diagnose EGC. Lecture videos describing “the technique” and “the knowledge” can be beneficial. In addition, repeating 100 self-study cases allows learners to gain “experience” and improve their diagnostic skills further. Web-based e-learning systems have more advantages than other teaching methods because the number of participants is unlimited. Histopathological diagnosis is the gold standard for the diagnosis of gastric cancer. Therefore, we developed a comprehensive diagnostic algorithm to standardize the histopathological diagnosis of gastric cancer. Once we have successfully shown that this algorithm is helpful for the accurate histopathological diagnosis of cancer, we will complete a series of e-learning systems designed to assess EGC accurately.

Com base na Norma Brasileira de Contabilidade Técnica, NBC T 15, que regula a evidenciação de informações de natureza Social e Ambiental das empresas, objetivou-se com o presente estudo verificar se existe diferença na evidenciação ambiental recomendada pela norma nos Relatórios da Administração de empresas em diferentes cenários de resultado. A amostra da pesquisa é composta pelas empresas que a Revista Exame Melhores e Maiores de 2011 apontou como os maiores prejuízos em 2010 dentre as empresas que apresentaram lucro no exercício anterior. Pela categorização das informações evidenciadas pelas empresas, notou-se a que pontuação total gerada com base em critérios da Norma permaneceu praticamente igual nos dois exercícios, ocorrendo uma oscilação compensatória ocasionada pelo fato de algumas empresas aumentarem sua evidenciação e outras reduzirem. O fato de metade das empresas não ter alterado sua evidenciação coaduna com estudos anteriores que não consideram o resultado como fator determinante no teor da evidenciação. Conforme classificação a partir da quantidade de informações evidenciadas, grande parte das empresas ficou em categorias inferiores em função da baixa quantidade de informações apresentadas.

An Assessment of Community Intervention for Reduction of Waterborne Illnesses in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Authors: Mehboob Gulrukh , Hassan Assad , Shah Saleem
Published: August 2023

Given the recent rise in the scarcity of clean drinking water in Pakistan and waterborne illnesses, a collaborative project between the Institute of Management Sciences (IMS) and Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan, took place in the city of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The aim of the study was to reduce waterborne illnesses by building knowledge and capacity of the communities to enable them to have clean drinking water without incurring high financial costs. A number of awareness seminars, along with health educational material, were delivered to the community through educational institutes. To analyse the effectiveness of the intervention, a pre-project and post-intervention phase through knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) analysis was conducted to quantify the perceptions and knowledge of the community. The analysis showed that knowledge about waterborne illnesses increased from 52% to 87%, attitude change moved from 16% to 93%, whereas improvement in practices by adopting low cost measures for clean water increased from 15% to 68%. It can be concluded that awareness has positive impact on peoples’ behaviour, knowledge and practice, especially when educational institutes are actively involved in community uplift projects. Effectiveness of such initiatives can be assured by widening their scope with involvement of government and non-government agencies as they play a pivotal role in social uplift of communities.
Tweaking Household Assets to Recover from Disasters: Insights from Attabad Landslide in Pakistan
Authors: Sultana Nasima , Alam Memon Junaid , Muhammad Mari Fateh , Zulfiqar Farhad
Published: August 2023

We assessed change in the asset profile of households of Gulmit village while they were attempting their recovery from Attabad landslide disaster, which occurred during 2010 in Pakistan. Primary data came from 183 randomly selected households of the disaster affected village through field work conducted in 2013. The physical, social, financial, natural, and human capitals were evaluated using weighted average indexes and cumulative indexes developed for accounting pre- and post-disaster situations. The findings reveal that all these capitals are interlinked. Any change in physical capital caused redundancy of natural capital negatively affecting livelihood opportunities locally. Loss of income and savings was result of negative impacts on financial capitals. The study further found that social capital is crucial but perishable. Human capital appears to be the most crucial hedge against vulnerabilities as healthy, qualified and skilled humans can choose alternative livelihoods in the face of climate changes, explore options, and divert their occupations while attempting recovery from disasters. Furthermore, relief packages and food aid interventions are necessary but not sufficient condition for effective disaster recovery. The relief operations are important in short term and helpful during the period when communities are passing through the coping stage. The restoration of physical capital (crucial infrastructure) and human capital are the most important aspects to focus upon for building resilient communities and mitigation of the negative impacts of climate change induced disasters.
Conceptual metaphors of black color in English and Mongolian
Authors:   National University of Mongolia, Purev Tumengerel
Published: August 2023

Several efforts have been made to study metaphors of different colors in various languages of the world. The studies of metaphors have been conducted from different viewpoints. Metaphor is regarded as a literary method, the best poetic one that is used by numerous writers. Things, plants,animals, phenomena and colors are used as objects to give the message indirect ways.Consequently, I assume that there could be numerous similar metaphors in various languages. My study aims to compare the similarities and differences in the conceptualization of black color metaphors in both languages. Moreover, another goal of this paper is to support foreign researchers and students comprehend the similarities and differences of English and Mongolian and to give a valuable support during their research work and studies. In addition, I am trying to show that there must be some culture/language-specific metaphors. I have found that there are more similarities than differences between the metaphorical expressions in English and Mongolian. A comparative study of black color metaphors may be extremely valuable to overwhelmed misunderstanding and identify cross-cultural communication in both languages. There is still much to explore the relationship of the various degrees of this field, and study on color terms deserves more attention.

Published: August 2023

With the advent of the 21st century, the world has witnessed a multitude of changes in almost every sector and field, and the educational sector has not been an exception. The notion of literacy today is totally different from what it meant few decades ago. Almost a century ago, anyone who could read and write was considered literate and indispensable. Today, in addition to reading and writing, developing and mastering skills such as critical thinking and implementing technology are considered fundamental and vital. This paper gives an overview of literacy in the 21st century in general and in Lebanon in particular. It defines terms such as literacy, traditional literacy and functional literacy. Data will be collected from current university students and university graduates of different generations using a self-designed survey questionnaire. In addition to that, few students, graduates from different generations and specialists in the field of education will be interviewed. The purpose of the data collection is to show whether high school graduates and university graduates are equipped with the necessary skills for university and the job market respectively. Most importantly, it aims at showing whether literacy in Lebanon is traditional or functional and whether knowing English as a second language has any impact or not. More importantly, it puts forward a list of essential skills that could help high school students and university graduates survive the demands of today’s revolutionized world.
EFL: An exploration of the novel aspects of learning and using English as a Foreign Language
Authors:   Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, Lebanon, Ajaka Laurence
Published: August 2023

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is an expanding field of research that has been prompted by the adoption of English as the international language of the world. Non-native speakers have their share of needs, perceptions, and preferences for their learning process that is currently under extensive research. Since EFL is applied in different countries, the instructors are advised to retain a measure of flexibility that can accommodate these dissimilarities as well as the changing face of the 21st-century classroom. Furthermore, EFL is a mixture of speaking and writing skills, so it is important to provide for both needs as some who have one preference over the other. Levels of education will exhibit variable needs and difficulties within the parameters of EFL, so educators are encouraged to account for them while preparing their curricula. Students often cite the lack of time and proper teaching strategies as hindrances for advancing in their EFL courses. They demand a more critical and analytic approach to teaching that utilizes the advancements of technology as aiding tools. It seems imperative that as the teaching skills evolve, the principles and guidelines of teaching EFL must also undergo the same changes that would give instructors and learners the necessary tool to excel in learning English for both social and academic purposes.

Penelitian hukum normatif atau penelitian perpustakaan ini merupakan penelitian yang mengkaji studi dokumen dengan menggunakan berbagai data. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan, bahwa hakim memiliki peran yang penting dalam penegakan hukum di Indonesia. Penegakan hukum sendiri merupakan syarat bagi terwujudnya suatu perlindungan hukum di Indonesia. Dalam proses penegakan hukum, hakim berperan untuk mengadili. Mengadili adalah serangkaian tindakan hakim untuk memeriksa, menerima, dan memutuskan perkara hukum. proses mengadili ini dilakukan berdasarkan undang-undang yang berlaku. Hakim sebagai penegak hukum dan keadilan, serta pejabat negara yang mempunyai tugas mulia dalam mewujudkan negara hukum, memberikan kepastian hukum, dan kemanfaatan bagi masyarakat melalui putusan hukumnya di pengadilan.

Penegakan hukum merupakan sarana efektif untuk mencapai tujuan hukum. Karena itu sudah semestinya seluruh tenaga dikerahkan agar hukum mampu bekerja untuk mewujudkan nilai-nilai moral dalam hukum. Dalam konteks penegakan hukum di Indonesia, maka peran aktif masyarakat tentunya tidak mungkin dapat dipisahkan. Di Indonesia sendiri masyarakat memiliki peran penting dalam setiap upaya yang dilakukan oleh negara untuk menegakan hukum. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode tinjauan literature (library research) yaitu penelitian yang didasarkan pada pendapatan-pendapat ahli. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan, bahwa masyarakat juga merupakan bagaian terpenting dalam sebuah negara, karena masyarakat memiliki peran untuk pemeliharaan dan dukungan untuk mencapai tujuan dari suatu negara.  Untuk mengupayakan adanya penegakan hukum yang berkeadilan di Indonesia, sangat diperlukan kepekaan dan keaktifan masyarakat dalam menghargai hak yang dimiliki oleh setiap orang, meningkatkan etika dan moral dengan kesadaran sendiri, serta menunaikan kewajiban dalam bermasyarakat. Partisipasi masyarakat merupakan unsur penting dalam perlindugan dan penegakan hukum. Masyarakat yang aktif dapat membantu menghilangkan kemungkinan terjadinya pengabaian terhadap kasus hukum. Peran masyarakat dalam penegakan hukum di Indonesia dapat dilakukan dengan dua Jalan, yaitu pengawasan aktif masyarakat harus dalam perlindungan dan control terhadap penegakan hukum. Bentuk partisipasi warga negara dalam perlindungan dan penegakan hukum didalam lingkungan sekitarnya bisa berupa masyarakat aktif dalam melaporkan dugaan tindakan kriminal yang ada disekitarnya.

Abstract.Objectives: To assess the level of problem solving skills of Sixth grade medical students of College of Medicine/ University of Baghdad using self-assessment tool.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study to assess Problem Solving Disposition in Sixth year Medical Students in College of Medicine/ University of Baghdad. A printed survey of the questionnaire was distributed to sixth year medical students in august 2022. A sample of 151 students participated in the study by filling of the printed questionnaire which was validated by a previous study in a medical school in Mexico.Results: The number of sixth Grade medical students in University of Baghdad/ College of medicine that participated in the study was 151 of whom 70 (46.35 %) were males and 81 (53.65 %) were females. The mean score of the “knowledge of discipline” was 2.973± 0.999, as for the “pattern recognition” component the mean was 2.198 ±0.559 , and the mean for the “application of general strategies” component was 2.158± 0.492. The independent sample T-test results for the “Knowledge of discipline” category showed a mean score for females of 3.137 and a mean score for males of 2.778 with a p value >0.05. For correlations between the categories one of the items of the “Pattern Recognition” category had a positive correlation with a statistical significance with 2 items from “Application of general strategies for problem solving” category.Conclusion: Sixth year medical students in University of Baghdad/ college of medicine are better self-perceived in the pattern recognition and application of general strategies for problem-solving categories than the knowledge of discipline, males assess themselves in remembering concepts as better than their female counterparts, students who rate themselves higher as being able to identify the pattern of a problem also rate themselves fairly when it comes to applying what they learnt in dealing with it. Further studies with larger sample size are needed to evaluate the entirety of students from different stages and correlate with their progress throughout their education.

Detailed descriptions of behavior provide critical insight into the structure and function of nervous systems. In Drosophila larvae and many other systems, short behavioral experiments have been successful in characterizing rapid responses to a range of stimuli at the population level. However, the lack of long-term continuous observation makes it difficult to dissect comprehensive behavioral dynamics of individual animals and how behavior (and therefore the nervous system) develops over time. To allow for long-term continuous observations in individual fly larvae, we have engineered a robotic instrument that automatically tracks and transports larvae throughout an arena. The flexibility and reliability of its design enables controlled stimulus delivery and continuous measurement over developmental time scales, yielding an unprecedented level of detailed locomotion data. We utilize the new system’s capabilities to perform continuous observation of exploratory search behavior over a duration of 6 hr with and without a thermal gradient present, and in a single larva for over 30 hr. Long-term free-roaming behavior and analogous short-term experiments show similar dynamics that take place at the beginning of each experiment. Finally, characterization of larval thermotaxis in individuals reveals a bimodal distribution in navigation efficiency, identifying distinct phenotypes that are obfuscated when only analyzing population averages.

The Wnt/Wg pathway controls myriads of biological phenomena throughout the development and adult life of all organisms across the phyla. Thus, an aberrant Wnt signaling is associated with a wide range of pathologies in humans. Tight regulation of Wnt/Wg signaling is required to maintain proper cellular homeostasis. Here, we report a novel role of E3 ubiquitin ligase Deltex in Wg signaling regulation. Drosophila dx genetically interacts with wg and its pathway components. Furthermore, Dx LOF results in a reduced spreading of Wg while its over-expression expands the diffusion gradient of the morphogen. We attribute this change in Wg gradient to the endocytosis of Wg through Dx which directly affects the short- and long-range Wg targets. We also demonstrate the role of Dx in regulating Wg effector Armadillo where Dx down-regulates Arm through proteasomal degradation. We also showed the conservation of Dx function in the mammalian system where DTX1 is shown to bind with β-catenin and facilitates its proteolytic degradation, spotlighting a novel step that potentially modulates Wnt/Wg signaling cascade.

Microvertebrate assemblages of the Upper Cretaceous (late Cenomanian to mid-Turonian) Favel Formation of Manitoba are formally described for the first time. New vertebrate occurrences from the Favel Formation include the actinopterygians Caturidae indet., cf. Albulidae incertae sedis, Micropycnodon kansasensis, Pachyrhizodus minimus, Protosphyraena sp., Thryptodus loomisi, chondrichthyans Ischyrhiza cf. mira, I. texana, Ptychodus marginalis, P. occidentalis, and P. rhombodus, the avian cf. Ichthyornis sp., the reptile Testudines indet., and an unknown taxon referred to as Vertebrate A. Changes in faunal occurrences throughout the formation suggest an offshore open marine environment for the lower and middle horizons and nearshore marine for the upper horizon, represent ing mid- and late stages of the Greenhorn third-order marine cycle. This newly described diversity increases biogeographic affinities of the late Cenomanian to mid-Turonian vertebrate assemblages of Manitoba with central WIS localities in South Dakota and Kansas, providing additional support for a central vertebrate biogeographic subprovince during late Cenomanian to early Turonian times, as well as WIS localities further south in Texas decreasing the gradient of the north-south or central-south community boundary during early and mid-Turonian times.

This study aimed to produce hydroxyapatite from the dentine portion of camel teeth using a defatting and deproteinizing procedure and characterize its physicochemical and biocompatibility properties. Biowaste such as waste camel teeth is a valuable source of hydroxyapatite, the main inorganic constituent of human bone and teeth which is frequently used as bone grafts in the biomedical field. Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR), and micro-Raman spectroscopy confirmed the functional groups as-sociated with hydroxyapatite. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies showed camel dentine-derived hydroxyapatite (CDHA) corresponded with hydroxyapatite spectra. Scanning electron micros-copy (SEM) demonstrated the presence of dentinal tubules measuring from 1.69–2.91 µm. The inorganic phases of CDHA were primarily constituted of calcium and phosphorus, with trace levels of sodium, magnesium, potassium, and strontium, according to energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). After 28 days of incubation in simulated body fluid (SBF), the pH of the CDHA scaffold elevated to 9.2. in-vitro biocompatibility studies showed that the CDHA enabled Saos-2 cells to proliferate and express the bone marker osteonectin after 14 days of culture. For applications such as bone augmentation and filling bone gaps, CDHA offers a promising material. However, to evaluate the clinical feasibility of the CDHA, further in-vivo studies are required.
