Authors: 吴 少婷 , 吴 胤颉
Published: February 2022

随着各个国家之间经济交往地不断密切，国际收支作为衡量一国在国际经济中的重要因素，对国际间的贸易往来起着巨大的作用。国际收支会对一个国家的汇率、外汇储备、投资、资本国际流动等方面产生影响，而国际收支平衡对一国经济发展具有重要的意义。本文通过建立多元回归模型，以主要粮食净进口经济体1998年~2017年的相关数据，探究收入效应、投资效应、贸易效应、汇率效应与价格效应对主要粮食净进口经济体国际收支平衡的影响，并根据结果对主要粮食净进口经济体的国际收支的改善提出合理建议。
基于国际收支多元回归模型的区域经济一体化的研究

Published: February 2022

在经济全球化步伐不断加快的背景下，国际收支是反映国际间经济往来和交易流量最科学、最完整的记录。一国的国际收支会对其利率、汇率、贸易、财政、外汇管理和对外投资等方面产生重要的影响，国际收支平衡也成为分析区域经济情况的重要指标，研究与国际收支相关的问题在日益开放和发展的经济中显得越来越重要。在已有的国际收支调节理论基础上，仍存在不同发展区域存在的国际收支不平衡问题，本文在多元回归模型基础上对不同发展状态的区域进行分析，同时采用平稳性检验、格兰杰因果关系检验和协整检验，分析研究变量间的相互作用。实证分析表明，收入效应、投资效应、出口效应、进口效应、汇率效应和价格效应六个单一变量与国际收支平衡之间不存在明显的因果关系，但是无法排除多元变量对其的影响。实证结果亦显示，影响国际收支调节的诸多因素皆受金融海啸冲击而呈现结构性反转，仅有发达经济体中的汇率效应与预期不符；发展中经济体与转型经济体的汇率效应虽与预期相符，但并未出现结构性反转现象，显示其汇率仍属较为管制性汇率制度，汇率自由度仍不足。

Price and Profit (Conventional and Islamic Analytical Perspectives)
Authors: Ika Desi , Suryani Yani
Published: February 2022

The commodity price reflects its value or its exchange rate compared to other commodities. Based on the producers’ point of view, price is a commodity value which brings profit to the company. On the other hand, consumers see price as the value of commodities, both goods and services that can be useful for their daily needs. The role of the Government as a price maker is carried out through direct and indirect intervention. Although in Islam there are no provisions that regulate how much traders or producers may take profits, they are required to be reasonable in raising prices so as not to oppress consumers. Even if this happens, the government has a role on controlling the price through some policies. Producers and traders can get profit as long as their activities do not violate Islamic norms. The market mechanism, the balance of supply and demand forces, is the most important principle in the process of determining commodity prices in the concept of Islamic teachings. It happens when there is willingness among economic actors. Determination of profit and rational behavior for profit maximization in Islamic teachings is principally driven by three factors, namely assuming that business is fardhu kifayah, protection of consumer interests and profit sharing.

Keywords: Price, Profit, Islamic Teachings, Conventional.

In this paper the results of a study on the extraction and concentration of micro-quantities of uranium (VI) with a polymeric chelating sorbent with fragments of N, N and#39;diphenylguanidine is discussed. There was studied a static sorption capacity on K+ ions ((SSC = 9.3 mmol / g) and there were determined the ionization constants of ionogenic groups ( =3.97; =8.47) by potentiometric titration. The optimal conditions of the sorption of elements (pHopt, sorption time - τ, the influence of ionic strength - μ) were determined by the dependence of the sorption capacity (SC, mg/g) on the parameter being studied; the sorption capacity of the sorbent (SC) was determined from the saturation curve constructed under optimal sorption conditions. The maximum degree of extraction of uranium by sorbents is achieved from solutions with pH 5. Sorption equilibrium is achieved within 2 hours of contact of the solution with the sorbent. With an increase in the concentration of the uranyl ion in the solution, the amount of the sorbed metal increases, and at a concentration of 8•10–3 mol/l, it becomes maximal (pH = 5, = 8•10–3 mol/l, Vgen = 20 ml, msorb. = 0.05 g, SC = 1258 mg/g). Limits of detection (3, n=20) are 13.9 ng/ml. The effect of various mineral acids(HClО4, H2SО4, HNО3, HCl) with the same concentrations on the desorption of uranium (VI) from the sorbent was studied. The developed technique was applied to determine uranium in oil sludge.

Current research focuses on synthesis and characterization of magnetically separable core@shell (NiFe2O4@TiO2) nanostructured photocatalyst with different weight percent (10, 20, 30, and 40) TiO2 using simple wet chemical techniques. Magnetic core with TiO2 shell was synthesized by the hydrolysis of TTIP precursor with NiFe2O4 nanoparticles. NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by the sol-gel auto combustion method. The synthesized nanostructures were characterized for structural, morphological and magnetic behavior using XRD, TEM, SEM and VSM while the surface area was calculated using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyzer. Pure nickel ferrite was indexed as spinel FCC crystal structure while anatase titania was confirmed from the characteristic peaks in the indexed XRD patterns. SEM images show the uniform particle size and spherical morphology with average size of 18.85 nmand#177;2nm. The Surface area of prepared core@shell nanostructures was found as 258 m2/g for 10 wt. % TiO2 photocatalyst. A decrease in surface area has been observed with the increase in TiO2 percentage. The photo-catalytic degradation of MO was studied using UV-Visible spectroscopy under NiFe2O4-TiO2 catalyst. UV-spectra revealed degradation of methyl orange by the decrease in the characteristic peak at 460 nm. Kinetics of degradation reaction were studied by the integral method of analysis using UV absorbance data at 460 nm. The photo-catalytic activity of as synthesized catalyst was enhanced many folds as compared to the pure nickel ferrite. M-H curves obtained from VSM revealed a decrease in the magnetization of nickel ferrite with a coating of non-magnetic TiO2.

Published: February 2022

Polygalacturonases (PGs) are necessary to degrade the insoluble viscous pectin components during the clarification process of fruit juice and are produced by some plants and various microbes, such as bacteria, yeasts and fungi. In this study, an exo-polygalacturonase (exo-PGP4a) was purified from T. Pseudokoningii using DEAE-Sepharose and Sephacryl S-200 columns. We show that the enzyme produced in this study by solid-state fermentation of citrus Orange peel was purified 20-fold with 12.8% recovery. The apparent molecular mass of the enzyme was determined to be 25 kDa using gel filtration and SDS-PAGE. The optimum temperature and pH of the exo-PGP4a were 45and#176;C and 6, respectively. The exo-PGP4a showed half-lives of 50.95 and 21.32 min at 55 and 75and#176;C, respectively. The activation energy for denaturation (Ea*) was 42.596 kJ/mol. The Km value of the enzyme for PGA hydrolysis was 2 mg/ml, and the Vmax was 3.27 and#181;mol min-1 mg-1. Several metal cations, such as Cu2+and Zn2+, were found to enhance the enzymatic activity of the exo-PGP4a, while Pb2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Cd2+, Co2+ and Hg2+ ions were found to be inhibitory. In this study, we suggest the exo-polygalacturonase has potential role of the clarification of Orange, Apple, Grape, and Peach juices in the food industry.

Published: February 2022

In the current research work, bismuth doped tin-dioxide (Bi-SnO2) was prepared by wet chemical co-precipitation method. The synthesized material was used as a photocatalyst in the degradation of congo red dye (CR) in its aqueous solution. The prepared catalyst was used in the uncalcined- and calcined forms for the photocatalytic reaction. The synthesized catalyst in both forms was characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD revealed that the calcination of the Bi-SnO2 improved its crystallinity. The SEM showed that the Bi-SnO2 had average size less than 150nm. Photocatalytic degradation of CR dye was carried out under ultra-violet light as well as under sunlight. While testing the photocatalytic degradation performance, it was found that more than 80% of the CR was degraded by using Bi-SnO2 nanoparticles under both lighting conditions. Moreover, the calcined Bi-SnO2 nanoparticles showed better photocatalytic performance as compared to its uncalcined form. The present work provides a viable way to make efficient photocatalyst based-on Bi-SnO2 to employ under UV and sunlight for the degradation of the CR dye without the need of oxidizing or reducing agents.

Mango (Mangifera indica L. cv. Chaunsa Sumer bahist) fruit is renowned for its flavor and aroma. Besides, it had been found to have large antioxidant content as well as anti-cancer and anti-diabetic properties. However, experiments to test both the antioxidant content and health benefits are still needed. Here, in the ripe mango mesocarp, we have measured the expression of 11 genes playing a role in flavor and aroma development. An up-regulation in expression of fructose-bisphosphate_aldolase (MiFBA6), glutamate decarboxylase (MiGAD), catalase (MiCAT1), glutathione-S-transferase (MiGSTF6) and nucleoredoxin (MiNRX1) genes was recorded. MiGAD gene expression indicated the presence of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) metabolite in mesocarp tissue of Chaunsa mango. Metabolite profiling was carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of five antioxidant compounds with known anticancer activities were characterized in mango mesocarp. It was found metabolites belong to various chemical groups such as: monoterpene alcohols, aroma volatiles, glycoside, monosaccharides, disaccharides, trisaccharides, oligosaccharides, sugar alcohols, sugar acids, essential oils, amino acids, ketone bodies, phytohormones and fatty acids. Seven antioxidant metabolites with known anticancer activities were characterized in mango mesocarp including: 3-hydroxybutyric acid, linalool, geraniol, erythritol, L-(+)-tartaric acid, myo-inositol and lactitol. A total of eight distinct aroma generating siloxanes were characterized in this cultivar. Positive antioxidant activity was also observed in the ethanolic extract of Chaunsa fruit pulp. Chemotherapeutic potential of phenolic compounds found in the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract on human breast cancer cell line AU565 was also investigated. The EtOAc extracts effectively suppressed adenocarcinoma growth indicating the anticancer potential of Chaunsa mango fruit.

Published: February 2022

Simultaneous open reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fractures combined with total hip replacement (THR) have some potential advantages over the more traditional approach in specific patient subgroups. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients who had the “fix and replace” construct for complex posterior hip fracture dislocation treated at our tertiary referral pelvic unit. This was a retrospective review of prospectively collected data for patients who underwent this procedure between 2011-2018 with a minimum of 3 year follow up. Data collected were: patient demographics, date of injury, injury pattern, fixation methods, type of implants used and post-operative complications. There were 14 patients with a mean age of 63.2 years (range 43-94 years) who underwent this procedure between 2011-2018. The mean follow up was 58 months. All cases involved a posterior wall fracture and six cases had an associated posterior column involvement. Femoral head autograft was used in 13 patients (93%). Six patients (43%) had their posterior acetabular wall reconstructed with a femoral head autograft. Seven patients had a fully cemented (THR) and the seven others had a hybrid implant. There were no surgical related complications. From our study we can conclude that the acute “fix and replace” construct for complex posterior hip fracture dislocation yields good clinical outcomes in the short and medium term with low complication rate. It is best performed by a surgeon who specialises in both acetabular and hip arthroplasty surgery.

Pharmacological repurposed agents for COVID-19
Authors: Alaraj Mohd
Published: February 2022

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created a significant global challenge with respect to the search for specific and effective pharmacological agents with fewer adverse effects for treating this disease. To date, no effective therapy for COVID-19 has been established. Recent virological studies suggest an assortment of potential therapeutics, which could be good candidates for minimizing disease development. One of the most effective potential medications is Remdesivir, which has demonstrated in-vitro antiviral activity and is the first COVID-19 drug approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Adjunct medical care is used as an extra treatment method in addition to the essential treatment, for example, glucocorticoids, which cause a decline in the death rate in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients. More clinical preliminary studies should be conducted to explore the most effective pharmacological agent for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus causing COVID-19. Numerous possible drug-drug interactions (DDIs) that may take place with the COVID-19 repurposed drugs and other medications have been identified. These facts might be beneficial for physicians to screen and identify potential DDIs with adverse consequences, and accordingly styling preventive and management approaches for their avoidance.

Technology is increasingly used by perpetrators of domestic violence to control, coerce, abuse, harass and stalk victim–survivors. Though ‘spaceless’—not bound by geography—there are particular ways that place and space shape the impacts of and risks associated with this violence. This paper examines the impact of technology-facilitated violence on victim–survivors of intimate partner violence in regional, rural or remote areas of Australia (New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland) who are socially or geographically isolated.
Metodologiska och etiska utmaningar med att utforska barns perspektiv på deltagande i en hybrid verklighet
Authors: Wernholm Marina
Published: February 2022

Artikeln bidrar med kunskap om metodologiska och etiska utmaningar i forskning med barn i en snabbt föränderlig digitaliserad värld. Teoretiska utgångspunkter är barns perspektiv, barns aktörskap och Dewey’s tolkning av erfarenhet. I tre delstudier testades hur olika metoder fungerar i förhållandet mellan forskare och informant, huruvida barnet ges makt och kontroll över deltagandet i forskningsprocessen: individuella intervjuer utifrån en intervjuguide, individuella intervjuer med barns multimodala representationer som utgångspunkt (sparade på deras mobiltelefoner/iPads), gruppintervjuer, videoinspelade spelsessioner i Minecraft med efterföljande individuella video-stimulated recall. Det som framträder är en paradoxal utmaning, att ju mer inflytande barnen får i processen och ju mer nyanserade och flerdimensionella data som erhålls, desto oftare uppstår frågor kring etik, integritet och forskningsetik.

Methodological and ethical challenges when exploring children’s perspectives on participation in a hybrid reality
This article contributes with knowledge on the methodological and ethical challenges entailed in research on children’s roles in a rapidly changing digitized world. The theoretical framework comprises children’s perspectives, children’s agency and Dewey’s notion of experience. Three sub-studies investigated how different methods affected the relationship between researcher and informant and whether these methods gave the children power and influence over their participation in the research process. The methods tested were a) individual interviews based on an interview guide, b) individual interviews during which children’s multimodal representations (saved on their mobile phones/iPads) served as starting points, c) group interviews and d) video-recorded play sessions with groups in Minecraft followed by individual video-stimulated recall. What emerges is a challenge in the form of a paradox: the more influence the children are allowed to influence the process, and the more nuanced and multidimensional that the data obtained is, the more often questions arise regarding ethics, integrity, and research ethics. By discussing ethical guidelines for research in relation to the Convention on the Rights of the child, this article contributes with knowledge valuable for the research field investigating children’s perspectives on participation in a hybrid reality.
Leg som læring, udvikling og dannelse – En policy-antropologisk undersøgelse af legens betydning i dansk dagtilbuds-policy
Authors: Schmidt Christina Haandbæk , Slott Malene
Published: February 2022

Leg er et væsentligt barndomspædagogisk begreb – og centralt i den nordiske daginstitutionsmodel. Vi er i denne artikel interesserede i at afdække og fremvise, hvordan leg som et nyt centralt policy-begreb indholdsbestemmes i den danske dagtilbudslov og læreplan. Med afsæt i en policy-antropologisk tilgang kombineret med en kritisk diskursanalyse analyserer vi centrale dokumenter, som knytter sig til den danske policy-proces omkring revision af hhv. dagtilbudsloven og bekendtgørelsen om den pædagogiske læreplan (2016 –2018). I artiklen viser vi, hvordan særlige betydninger af leg rejser på tværs af forskellige dokumenter og tilsammen giver opbakning til tre diskurser, der forbinder sig til hhv. læring, udvikling og dannelse. I forlængelse af den kritiske diskursanalyse undersøger vi med afsæt i positioneringsteori, hvordan hhv. barnet, pædagogen og forældrene positioneres inden for de tre identificerede diskurser.

Play as learning, development and cultivation – A policy-anthropological study of the definitions of play in Danish day care policy
Play is an important concept in childhood pedagogy and essential to the Nordic day care model. In this article, we are interested in uncovering and presenting how play as a new, central policy concept is determined in the Danish Day Care Act and the national curriculum. Based on a policy-anthropological approach combined with a critical discourse analysis, we analyze key documents that relate to the Danish policy process regarding revision of the Day Care Act and the national curriculum (2016–2018). In the article, we show how special meanings of play travel across different documents and collectively support three discourses: play as learning, play as development and play as cultivation, respectively. In continuation of the critical discourse analysis, we investigate, based on positioning theory, how the child, the pedagogue and the parents are positioned within the three identified discourses.
Å utforske det pedagogiske hverdagslivets kompleksitet
Authors: Eriksen Marte
Published: February 2022

I denne artikkelen retter jeg oppmerksomheten mot metodiske tilnærminger for å utvikle kunnskap om kompleksitet i barnehagelæreres pedagogiske praksis. Jeg bygger på en forståelse av at kunnskap om pedagogisk praksis starter i det konkrete og kontekstbestemte. Det empiriske grunnlaget for analysene og diskusjonen er fire fokusgruppeintervjuer samt transkripsjoner fra og notater og refleksjoner omkring intervjuene. Det metodiske arbeidet undersøkes gjennom en metaanalyse, der også forskersubjektet og erfaringer fra forskningsprosessen belyses. Det teoretiske perspektivet på kunnskapsutvikling springer ut fra fenomenologisk hermeneutikk. Resultatene viser at det er nødvendig med et metodisk mangfold for å få tak i kompleksiteten som preger den pedagogiske praksisen der alt tilsynelatende henger sammen.
English abstract
Exploring the complexity of pedagogical practice
This article explores how knowledge about complexity in Early Childhood Education (ECEC) teachers’ pedagogical practice can be developed. I am building on the understanding that knowledge about pedagogical practice already exists in lived experience. The empirical data from, and notes and reflections on four focus group interviews, are analyzed and discussed. The methodological approach is investigated in a meta-analysis where the researcher’s experience is included. Theoretical perspectives on developing knowledge are based on phenomenological hermeneutics. The results show that it is necessary to develop various methods in research to explore the complexity of a pedagogical practice where everything seems connected.
Prevalence of Various non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and NCD Risks Factors among Saudi Population-Analysis from SHIS 2013
Authors: Alslamah Thamer
Published: February 2022

Non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, along with respective risk factors, pose a public health problem in Saudi Arabia. This study was done using GBD-SHIS data to study the prevalence and risk factors of non-communicable diseases in Saudi Arabia. Data from nationally representative sample collected during Saudi health Interview Survey (SHIS) 2013 was ana-lyzed. Among a total of 10195 respondents, the mean age was 37.9 years (SD 16.1), of which 5252 (51.5%) were female and 6623 (65.0%) were currently married. The most common NCD was asthma (3.65%), followed by myocardial infarction (0.67%) and stroke (0.48%) and renal failure (0.54%). The most common NCD risk factor was ever smoking (17.01%). Diabetes (11.40%) and hypertension (9.38%) were the other common risk factors. All the NCDs were higher in the age group >60 years. The study clearly highlights the high burden of NCDs and their risk factors among Saudi population. The study inputs are extremely useful for government, service providers and population to develop appropriate prevention, screening and management services.

The mental wellbeing of optometry and pharmacy students in New Zealand during COVID-19
Authors: Turnbull Philip , Petersen Lynne , Collins Andrew
Published: February 2022

At a time of transition into adulthood, tertiary study places additional stresses on the mental wellbeing of students. The continual assessment, long teaching hours, and expectation of professionalism that is expected from students within clinical programmes places even more burden on these students. Then in 2020, with the COVID-19 lockdown, there were significant changes to how these programs were delivered. We surveyed the mental wellbeing of our undergraduate students in the Bachelor of Optometry and Bachelor of Pharmacy programmes at the University of Auckland in 2019 and 2020. Using validated screening questionnaires, we found a high level of anxiety and depression in both years, however, in 2020 following the lockdown, anxiety levels in our students decreased. We found that the leading stressor was academic stress, and levels of anxiety were inversely correlated with perceived academic success. Therefore, we believe the lockdown, which provided both a break from clinical stresses and a change in teaching modality to online delivery, provided a period of relief, despite the potential stressful environment regarding COVID-19. To help alleviate the high level of distress in our students, lessons could be learned to decrease the stress levels in our students by continuing with alternative teaching and assessment styles.
Online teaching effectiveness in higher education: Faculty perspectives in India
Authors: Mishra Lokanath , Raina Roshan Lal
Published: February 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic demanded the closure of education institutions abruptly in the middle of the academic term, disrupting regular teaching and learning activities throughout the world. The teaching fraternity immediately moved to online teaching to minimize learning damage and continue academic activities. With the sudden shift from traditional practices to online teaching, the key question arises about effectiveness of online teaching in higher education and how the teaching fraternity pursues academic activities, grouped under pre, during and post online teaching. This study aimed at examining the faculty perspective of online teaching in higher education without much experience and preparation. Data was collected from 81 faculty members across the disciplines of Engineering, Technology and Science for technical courses and Management and Commerce for the School of Social Science. Opinion of respondents received in pre, during and post online teaching activities and effectiveness in comparison to traditional system were analyzed.While the results show that there is no substantial pedagogical change or difficulty in delivery through online teaching. However, concerns remain about classroom management and the evaluation process through online as compared to face to face teaching. There is no significant difference of opinion from the faculties of School of Engineering and School of Management in regard to pre and post, except during the online teaching activities.
‘Bittersweet’ and ‘alienating’: An extreme comparison of collaborative autoethnographic perspectives from higher education students, non-teaching staff and faculty during the pandemic in the UK and Singapore
Authors: Rudolph Jürgen , Itangata Lena , Tan Shannon , Kane Michelle , Thairo Irving , Tan Tammy
Published: February 2022

This article, via collaborative autoethnographic reflections, provides an extreme comparison of intra-period responses in two countries (the UK and Singapore) to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in higher education. Taking autoethnographic examples from these countries from three pairs of stakeholders of higher education (HE) – students, non-teaching academic staff, and lecturers – we discuss contrasting experiences in pursuit of answering the research question: What were our experiences working/studying in HE during the COVID-19 global pandemic? Despite the pronounced differences of the higher education landscapes in the UK and in Singapore and the heterogeneous experiences of them, five common themes emerged during an inductive analysis: impact on work, impact on learning, wellbeing, awareness and flexibility. There are significant opportunities to learn by examining the different experiences. We recommend overcoming the many separations between HE stakeholders and to engage all of them (students, lecturers (both adjuncts and full-time faculty), non-teaching staff) with the overall goal of improving the teaching and learning experiences. Technology should not be revered as a panacea and sound pedagogical practices are as important as ever.
