Published: October 2020

Background:

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its severe form, non-alcoholic
steatohepatitis (NASH), are major health problems worldwide. Genetics may play a role in
the pathogenesis of NAFLD/NASH.

Aim:

To investigate the prevalence of NAFLD/NASH in 5,400 military personnel and evaluate
the effect of treatment with 3 statins on NAFLD/NASH using 2 non-invasive scores [NAFLD Activity
Score (NAS); Fibrosis-4 score (FIB-4)].

Methods:

During the mandatory annual medical check-up, military personnel underwent a clinical
and laboratory evaluation. Participants with NAFLD/NASH were randomized into 4 groups
(n=151 each): diet-exercise, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, or pitavastatin for 1 year (i.e., until the next
routine evaluation).

Results:

From all the participants, 613 had NAFLD/NASH (prevalence 11.3 vs 39.8% in the general
population, p<0.001), and a total of 604 consented to participate in the study. After a year of
treatment, the diet-exercise group showed no significant changes in both scores (NAS 4.98 baseline
vs. 5.62, p=0.07; FIB-4 3.42 vs. 3.52, p=0.7). For the atorvastatin group, both scores were reduced
(NAS 4.97 vs 1.95, p<0.001, FIB-4 3.56 vs 0.83, p<0.001), for rosuvastatin (NAS 5.55 vs
1.81, p<0.001, FIB-4 3.61 vs 0.79, p<0.001), and for pitavastatin (NAS 4.89 vs 1.99, p<0.001,
FIB-4 3.78 vs 0.87, p<0.001).

Conclusions :

Atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and pitavastatin have a beneficial and safe effect in
NAFLD/NASH patients as recorded by the improvement in the NAS (representing NAFLD activity)
and FIB-4 (representing liver fibrosis) scores. Since both those with and without NAFLD/-
NASH shared several baseline characteristics, genetics may play a role in the pathogenesis of
NAFLD/NASH and its treatment with statins.

Published: October 2020

Background:

The typical imaging finding of MM is bone destruction in the form of diffuse patchy osteolytic
lesions or punctate destruction. However, it is difficult to accurately determine the fine structure of bone affected by MM
with these techniques due to low specificity and sensitivity.

Introduction:

This study aimed to investigate the microscopic anatomical morphology and analyze the microstructure
changes of trabeculae affected by multiple myeloma (MM) based on micro-CT.
Methods: MM-affected and normal trabecular bone samples were imaged by micro-CT to obtain bone structure
parameters to assess statistical differences between them and evaluate the degree of microstructural damage of MMaffected trabeculae.

Methods:

MM-affected and normal trabecular bone samples were imaged by micro-CT to obtain
bone structure parameters to assess statistical differences between them and evaluate the degree of
microstructural damage of MM-affected trabeculae.

Results:

Micro CT images clearly showed the microstructure of MM-affected trabeculae. The degree
of trabecular osteoporosis varied with the severity of MM. There were significant differences
in the structural parameters between MM-affected and normal trabeculae (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

Micro-CT clearly reveals the microstructure of MM-affected trabeculae. The obtained bone structure data
will help to determine the degree of bone damage caused by MM and assess the efficacy.

eHealth Literacy of German Physicians in the Pre–COVID-19 Era: Questionnaire Study
Authors: Kirchberg Johanna , Fritzmann Johannes , Weitz Jürgen , Bork Ulrich
Published: October 2020

Background

Digitalization is a disruptive technology that changes the way we deliver diagnostic procedures and treatments in medicine. Different stakeholders have varying interests in and expectations of the digitalization of modern medicine. Many recent digital advances in the medical field, such as the implementation of electronic health records, telemedical services, and mobile health apps, are increasingly used by medical professionals and patients. During the current pandemic outbreak of a novel coronavirus-caused respiratory disease (COVID-19), many modern information and communication technologies (ICT) have been used to overcome the physical barriers and limitations caused by government-issued curfews and workforce shortages. Therefore, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in the usage of modern ICT in medicine. At the same time, the eHealth literacy of physicians working with these technologies has probably not improved since our study.

Objective

This paper describes a representative cohort of German physicians before the COVID-19 pandemic and their eHealth literacy and attitude towards modern ICT.

Methods

A structured, self-developed questionnaire about user behavior and attitudes towards eHealth applications was administered to a representative cohort of 93 German physicians.

Results

Of the 93 German physicians who participated in the study, 97% (90/93) use a mobile phone. Medical apps are used by 42% (39/93). Half of the surveyed physicians (47/93, 50%) use their private mobile phones for official purposes on a daily basis. Telemedicine is part of the daily routine for more than one-third (31/93, 33%) of all participants. More than 80% (76/93, 82%) of the trial participants state that their knowledge regarding the legal aspects and data safety of medical apps and cloud computing is insufficient.

Conclusions

Modern ICT is frequently used and mostly welcomed by German physicians. However, there is a tremendous lack of eHealth literacy and knowledge about the safe and secure implementation of these technologies in routine clinical practice.
Light-Induced Fluorescence-Based Device and Hybrid Mobile App for Oral Hygiene Management at Home: Development and Usability Study (Preprint)
Authors: Kim Jun-Min , Lee Woo Ram , Kim Jun-Ho , Seo Jong-Mo , Im Changkyun
Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND

Dental diseases can be prevented through the management of dental plaques. Dental plaque can be identified using the light-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique that emits light at 405 nm. The LIF technique is more convenient than the commercial technique using a disclosing agent, but the result may vary for each individual as it still requires visual identification.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study is to introduce and validate a deep learning–based oral hygiene monitoring system that makes it easy to identify dental plaques at home.

METHODS

We developed a LIF-based system consisting of a device that can visually identify dental plaques and a mobile app that displays the location and area of dental plaques on oral images. The mobile app is programmed to automatically determine the location and distribution of dental plaques using a deep learning–based algorithm and present the results to the user as time series data. The mobile app is also built with convergence of naive and web applications so that the algorithm is executed on a cloud server to efficiently distribute computing resources.

RESULTS

The location and distribution of users’ dental plaques could be identified via the hand-held LIF device or mobile app. The color correction filter in the device was developed using a color mixing technique. The mobile app was built as a hybrid app combining the functionalities of a native application and a web application. Through the scrollable WebView on the mobile app, changes in the time series of dental plaque could be confirmed. The algorithm for dental plaque detection was implemented to run on Amazon Web Services for object detection by single shot multibox detector and instance segmentation by Mask region-based convolutional neural network.

CONCLUSIONS

This paper shows that the system can be used as a home oral care product for timely identification and management of dental plaques. In the future, it is expected that these products will significantly reduce the social costs associated with dental diseases.
Clinical Decision Support May Link Multiple Domains to Improve Patient Care: Viewpoint (Preprint)
Authors: Kao David , Larson Cynthia , Fletcher Dana , Stegner Kris
Published: October 2020

UNSTRUCTURED

Integrating clinical decision support (CDS) across the continuum of population-, encounter-, and precision-level care domains may improve hospital and clinic workflow efficiency. Due to the diversity and volume of electronic health record data, complexity of medical and operational knowledge, and specifics of target user workflows, the development and implementation of comprehensive CDS is challenging. Additionally, many providers have an incomplete understanding of the full capabilities of current CDS to potentially improve the quality and efficiency of care delivery. These varied requirements necessitate a multidisciplinary team approach to CDS development for successful integration. Here, we present a practical overview of current and evolving applications of CDS approaches in a large academic setting and discuss the successes and challenges. We demonstrate that implementing CDS tools in the context of linked population-, encounter-, and precision-level care provides an opportunity to integrate complex algorithms at each level into a unified mechanism to improve patient management.
ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ ПОТЕНЦИАЛЬНЫХ ТОЧНОСТНЫХ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИК МАЛОБАЗОВЫХ СИСТЕМ, ПОСТРОЕННЫХ НА ТРИАНГУЛЯЦИОННОМ СПОСОБЕ ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЯ КООРДИНАТ ИСТОЧНИКОВ РАДИОИЗЛУЧЕНИЯ
Authors: Мирошниченко А.
Published: October 2020

Определение координат источников радиоизлучения – важная задача во многих областях техники мобильной связи, радионавигации и радиомониторинга – сводится к определению углового направления на источник и дальности до источника радиоизлучения. Если первая задача решается с помощью достаточно точных методов, то вторая – определение дальности – вызывает трудности. Различные методы триангуляции – основной способ определения дальности до источника радиоизлучения. При построении триангуляционной измерительной системы вводится понятие базы, которое характеризуется как расстояние между измерительными пунктами. Высокую точность измерения расстояния до источника радиоизлучения можно обеспечить только путем создания измерительной системы с большой базой, достигающей в отдельных случаях нескольких сотен километров. В статье исследуется возможность построения малобазовых систем определения координат источников радиоизлучения на основе триангуляционных методов.

Meeting the challenge of supply chain integration: using six sigma for process improvement
Authors: Dobie Kathryn , Hensley Rhonda
Published: October 2020

Increased performance expectations, a more complex operating environment, rising costs, and declining operating margins have become every day challenges for carrier management. In order to meet these challenges, business-as-usual is not an adequate response. The time has come to take a new look at the way thing are being done and the results that are being achieved. One method of making such an examination, Six Sigma, has produced extraordinary results for many of the manufacturing and service companies, large and small, that have implemented it. The introduction of Six Sigma as a means of examining and improving carrier service delivery processes is discussed and illustrated.

The aim of this study is to reflect upon the role of Rental Assistance (Auxílio Aluguel), a modality of temporary housing assistance offered by the City Council of São Paulo, and to relate its use to the urbanization process of the metropolis. To this end, we expose the extent to which this subsidy has reached within the general framework of popular housing in the city of São Paulo, and continue with an analysis on the origin of this type of assistance. This is followed by characterizing those in receipt of this assistance and identify the reasons for being included in the program. Finally, the use of rental assistance is discussed, both in the sphere of housing policy and in relation to planning strategies operated in the city of São Paulo.
Diga-me o que comes que te direi quem és, questões morais em torno da alimentação
Authors: Bittencourt Bárbara Caldeiron , Vieira de Melo Cristina Teixeira
Published: October 2020

No presente artigo sustentamos que a alimentação é um lugar de verdade no contemporâneo. Advogamos que a ideia de “comida de verdade” opera uma separação entre uma comida considerada “boa”, “de verdade”, “natural; e uma outra, vista como “ruim”, “de mentira”, “artificial”. A comida mostra-se, assim, como lugar de escolhas morais. Essa divisão ainda cria o mito de que é possível alcançar uma vida melhor através da comida. A fim de estudar essa questão, elegemos como corpus de análise os canais no Youtube de duas chefs brasileiras: o Panelinha, de Rita Lobo, e o Canal da Bela, de Bela Gil. Ambas são adeptas da “comida de verdade”.

Evaluación del comportamiento a compresión y propiedades físicas de morteros de cemento reforzados con fibras recicladas PET
Authors: Higuera Flórez Camilo , Cárdenas-Pulido Jhon , Rodríguez Said
Published: October 2020

El uso de fibras de tereftalato de polietileno (PET) en el concreto representa un gran avance en la industria de la construcción ya que estas fibras contribuyen a la disminución de la fisuración por esfuerzos de tensión y por fenómenos de retracción plástica, además de incrementar la durabilidad de los compuestos basados en cemento. Sin embargo, a la fecha aún existe información limitada sobre el efecto positivo de las fibras PET recicladas en el desempeño físico y mecánico de compuestos basados en cemento. Con el fin de fortalecer el estado del arte actual en tal aspecto, este estudio evalúa el comportamiento físico y mecánico de morteros de cemento adicionados con fibras PET en dosificaciones de 0 kg/m3, 1.33 kg/m3, 2.66 kg/m3, 4 kg/m3 y 5.33 kg/m3, mediante ensayos de resistencia a la compresión, módulo de elasticidad, porosidad abierta, densidad volumétrica y absorción al agua. Las fibras PET lisas utilizadas presentaban una longitud 25 mm y diámetro 0.68 mm (relación de aspecto igual a 36). Como resultado, la utilización de fibras PET genera reducciones en hasta 17%, 10% 22%, 7% y 26% respectivamente sobre las propiedades de resistencia a compresión, módulo elástico, porosidad, densidad volumétrica y absorción al agua de los morteros evaluados. El estudio permite destacar el mejoramiento en las propiedades físicas del mortero por la adición de fibras PET, no obstante, la ligera reducción en las propiedades mecánicas, lo cual contribuye a mejorar la estabilidad volumétrica y la durabilidad de compuestos basados en cemento por la utilización de fibras PET recicladas como material de reforzamiento. Con base en los resultados experimentales del estudio finalmente se proponen ecuaciones para la predicción de las propiedades físicas y mecánicas evaluadas de los morteros en función de las dosificaciones de fibras PET utilizadas.

Authors: Guataquira Ramírez José Efraín , Castiblanco-Abril Olga Lucia
Published: October 2020

En esta investigación se estudiaron las expectativas de estudiantes de colegios públicos de Bogotá, acerca de temas asociados a la astronomía. Fueron analizadas las formas como expresan sus conocimientos o hipótesis acerca de las partes que componen el sistema solar, así como aquellos cuerpos que pueden estar fuera del sistema solar.  Igualmente, se analizaron las relaciones que establecen entre el comportamiento del universo y los fenómenos naturales que ocurren en la Tierra. Esta fue una investigación cualitativa, de tipo intervención. La toma de datos se hizo mediante la planeación y el desarrollo de actividades que fueron relatadas por el docente investigador, así como a partir del material producido por los estudiantes en dicho proceso.  Se desarrolló un análisis descriptivo estadístico donde se estudiaron las respuestas de los estudiantes en cada grupo. Simultáneamente, se analizaron las diferencias en el manejo del lenguaje y la comprensión de los temas. Los principales resultados fueron: 1) efectivamente hay diferencias en el lenguaje que utilizan para hablar de los temas de acuerdo al contexto y al nivel escolar, 2) no se puede afirmar que el dominio conceptual de la astronomía sea mayor en niveles escolares superiores que en niveles más básicos, ya que se encontraron diferencias argumentativas y manejo del leguaje igualmente válido, en todos los niveles educativos y edades, 3) los niños tienen intereses sobre una gran variedad de temas de la Astronomía, 4) a partir de los intereses detectados se podrían desarrollar cursos en torno a  preguntas como ¿Por qué han de existir las orbitas? ¿Cómo saber a qué distancia debe estar una órbita de la otra? ¿Qué nos permite pensar que los planetas están alineados en un plano con el Sol? ¿Desde dónde debemos ubicarnos para “ver” el universo? ¿Cuál es la relación de distancias y tamaños entre los diferentes cuerpos del sistema solar y el universo? ¿Qué hace que el sistema solar se agrupe en una estructura?, entre otras.
Systematic review of energy efficiency (E.E.). Basis for an alternative vision of E.E. in Colombia
Authors: Méndez-Rodríguez Cristian , Rengifo-Rodas Carlos F. , Corrales-Muñoz Juan Carlos , Figueroa-Casas Apolinar
Published: October 2020

The management of natural resources, especially energy resources, is a challenge for today's society. For this reason, Energy Efficiency (E.E.) is considered as a key tool to promote economic growth, reduce the consumption of natural energy resources, and help to solve multiple environmental impacts. In this study, a systematic mapping of the literature concerning E.E. is carried out. Based on the research questions formulated in the systematic mapping, a knowledge gap is identified, which is that the problems linked to energy are not being addressed from a systemic and interdisciplinary paradigm. This calls for the development of methodological, sociological, and technological processes that allow understanding of E.E. from a systemic perspective. Finally, the basis for an alternative vision of E.E. in Colombia is proposed, which tends towards the sustainability and conservation of natural energy resources.
La lucha por la vida: biopoder y biopolítica Una reflexión sobre experiencias comunitarias en México
Authors: Calveiro Pilar
Published: October 2020

Este artículo desarrolla las características del biopoder en la gubernamentalidad neoliberal -y en particular en México-. como forma de control y, sobre todo, de selección de la vida. En contraparte, propone que las experiencias de algunas comunidades autónomas de los pueblos indígenas de México, resisten de manera eficiente a esas prácticas construyendo alternativas de defensa de la vida. Analiza para ello los casos del Municipio Autónoma de Cherán K’eri y de la Coordinadora Regional de Autoridades Comunitarias (CRAC) para mostrar cómo sus formas de organización social y política protegen la vida humana, natural, social y cultural, configurando biopolíticas de protección de la vida. Frente a los biopoderes, que intenta dominar y seleccionar la vida, se crean biopolíticas capaces de protegerla.
Os Signos Audiovisuais na representação do Invisível e do Indizível na animação The Day the Sun Danced: the true story of Fatima
Authors: Berns Diogo
Published: October 2020

Este artigo apresenta como os signos audiovisuais na animação The Day the Sun Danced: the true story of Fatima (2015) representam o invisível e o indizível das aparições do Anjo de Portugal e de Nossa Senhora, em Fátima, aos pastorinhos Lúcia de Jesus Santos (1907-2005), Francisco (1908-1919) e Jacinta Marto (1910-1920), nos anos de 1916 e 1917, valendo-se da noção de signo de Peirce (2010): aquilo que, sob certo aspecto ou modo, representa algo para alguém. A pesquisa parte da contextualização das aparições sob a ótica de alguns autores, entre eles: Bertone (2016), Meessen (2005), Pereira (2015), Ratzinger (2016), além do Catecismo da Igreja Católica (CIgC) para expressar como a animação, baseada em um documento do Padre Robert J. Fox (1927-2009), traduziu palavras em imagens e sons, processo este recorrente nas animações religiosas denominado de Tradução Intersemiótica (JAKOBSON, 1969): tradução do signo verbal, a literatura, para um sistema não verbal, como o audiovisual. Na análise, constata-se a simbologia presente na animação a partir de Chevalier e Gueerbrante (1986), de aspectos fílmicos, e da tradição em representar algumas formas e figuras do universo religioso.
Love’s crossing through self-emptying language: Augustine of Hippo’s confessio and Adélia Prado’s mystical poetry
Authors: Ribeiro Lin Davi C.
Published: October 2020

“Crossing” can be described as a displacement between two points, characterized by a starting point, a path and a point of arrival. In addition to the geographical, exterior voyage, crossing is a metaphor for the wandering heart in via, an inner journey. This work approaches two “boatmen” who propose the crossing of inner life, the 4th-5th century North-African theologian Augustine of Hippo and Brazilian poet Adélia Prado. Augustine and Adélia Prado use self-emptying language, confessio and mystic poetry respectively, to express their existential poverty. While Augustine crushes his pride through the vulnerability of confession, Adélia Prado uses poetic language as spiritual exercise to annihilate her ego. This self-emptying language is not only informative, but performative speech; it is the language that affirms finitude and vulnerability, opening the self to a journey of longing towards an alterity. The ultimate goal of humbling oneself in poetic vulnerability before the Mystery is to capture the dynamic invitation to love. Augustine’s confessional language and Adélia Prado’s poetry foster the passage from self-centeredness to a loving relational center. Adélia Prado can help us read Augustine not only as the doctor of Grace, but as “Doctor Humilitatis”, a reception clouded by centuries of theological discussion.

O presente estudo é uma tentativa de elaborar um “diagnóstico do presente” acerca da pandemia de SARS-CoV-2 e de suas consequências.  A filosofia política, ao longo de sua história, produziu inúmeras definições acerca do ato de governar. Apresentaremos mais uma. Tal tentativa terá como foco a compreensão da “arte de governar” como a dominação dos recursos estatais praticada em benefício de certas classes sociais em detrimento de outras. Para empreender tal compreensão, abordaremos os seguintes temas: 1- análise da pandemia de SARS-CoV-2; 2- a arte de administrar a vida e a morte na pandemia; 3- a pandemia como metáfora viva da “arte de governar”; 4- as soluções dadas no caso da pandemia e das enchentes no mesmo ano de 2020 no Brasil: contradição em ato; 5- o uso de recursos do governo federal para socorrer os oligopólios e o abandono da população pobre. Ao final, enunciaremos questões relativas ao problema político da valorização do saber científico e acerca das consequências da revalorização dos movimentos sociais.

Tasarlanan kentsel mobilyalar öğrencilerimizin son dönem stüdyo çalışmasında, 3,5 yıllık bilgi birikimiyle tasarladıkları ürün olması açısından önemlidir. Sonuç olarak öğrencilerin tasarladıkları ürünlerin kullanıcı istek ve ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda, sürdürülebilir yaklaşımla ele alındığı nitelikli tasarımlar elde edilmiştir.
A hibridez como estratégia para potencializar a gestão da informação em bibliotecas públicas: um estudo aplicado
Authors: Silva Rafaela Carolina da , Santos Beatriz Rosa Pinheiro dos , Damian Ieda Pelógia Martins , Caldas Rosangela Formentini
Published: October 2020

Acredita-se que hibridez aplicada às bibliotecas públicas pode melhorar os processos de gestão da informação. Os problemas de pesquisa são: a gestão da informação pode ser influenciada pelo conceito de hibridez? Como a hibridez pode contribuir para a melhoria dos processos da gestão da informação em uma biblioteca pública? Diante disso, o objetivo é analisar como a hibridez pode contribuir para a melhoria dos processos de gestão da informação em uma biblioteca pública e, por meio dessa análise, propor diretrizes de uma gestão da informação pautada pela inovação e com características hibridas. Para tanto, trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, do tipo exploratória e de cunho prático e teórico. Constatou-se que mais do que um processo voltado para identificar necessidades, mapear, coletar, organizar, armazenar, acessar e compartilhar informações, uma eficiente gestão da informação nas bibliotecas com base nas premissas da hibridez pode ser definida como uma filosofia gerencial que visa articular pessoas, ferramentas e ideias para criação de projetos que vão propiciar maior conforto e acesso à informação por parte dos usuários.
¿Cómo llegamos a nuestros usuarios? La comunicación de las bibliotecas universitarias a través del contenido y mensaje de sus reglamentos
Authors: Verde Marcela Beatriz
Published: October 2020

En el presente trabajo se exploró el contenido y el estilo del mensaje en los reglamentos de las bibliotecas de las universidades públicas y privadas de la provincia de Córdoba (Argentina), buscando conocer la estructura que presentan y los aspectos normativos que incluyen. Se trabajó con los reglamentos publicados en sus páginas web analizando aspectos que contemplan, estructura del contenido, estilo de redacción y pertinencia de sentencias y mensajes, partiendo de la percepción de que los vocablos elegidos tienden a señalar restricciones y limitaciones con un tono negativo. Se observó diversidad en los estilos y se corroboró el uso de expresiones negativas en un alto porcentaje. Respecto de la estructura temática se detectó una diferenciación arbitraria que la muestra como unidades independientes que no siempre presentan la coherencia y la cohesión necesarias. No se determinó con certeza el fundamento primario sobre el que basan la elaboración de los reglamentos, sin embargo, se pudieron señalar algunas razones a partir del tipo de mandatos que establecen: ordenar la tarea del bibliotecario, orientar al usuario sobre los recursos disponibles, indicar su utilización adecuada para lograr el uso equitativo, eficiente y democrático o encuadrarse dentro de reglas estrictas. Queda planteada así la necesidad de investigar los fundamentos de la elaboración de estos reglamentos que, junto con los hallazgos presentados, parecen ser causales del desconocimiento y dificultad de aplicación. Finalmente, fue posible elaborar una serie de recomendaciones sobre su confección.

Authors: Susilowati Dwi Ningsih , Sofiana Indah , Atmini Kristina Dwi , Yuniarti Erny
Published: October 2020

Kalimantan acid sulphate land has the potential to be developed into productive land, with good land optimization. Utilization of rhizosphere microorganism diversity, especially mold can potentially provide a solution in optimizing agricultural land, namely the ability to produce extracellular enzymes. This study aims to determine the potential of mold originating from acid sulphate fields in producing extracellular enzymes (pectinase, chitinase, glucanase, cellulase, and phosphatase). The study was conducted in June-July 2019 at the Microbiology Laboratory, Indonesian Center for Agricultural Biotechnology and Genetic Resources Research and Development. Screening  of extracellular enzyme-producing fungi was carried out on selection media. The results obtained by some isolates have the ability to produce extracellular enzymes. Indications of the ability of mold to produce extracellular enzymes are the presence of clear zones in the selection medium. In pectinase, chitinase and glucanase testing all isolates showed negative results. Potential isolates in producing extracellular enzymes include Penicillium sp. Paddy 4.1 (cellulolytic index 2.43),  Clonostachys sp. KRMT 17.9 and Penicillium singorense KLK 13.7 (proteolytic indices 3.97 and 3,00, respectively). The difference in index values ​​indicates the variation in the level of enzyme activity.
Preservice Teachers in Switzerland: Effects of a Thinking Journal on Self-Efficacy Beliefs Regarding Behaviour Management
Authors: Dessibourg Malika Susan
Published: October 2020

How to improve behaviour management education? We take a step towards answering this question by presenting the use of a thinking journal during the high-responsibility placement of 47 preservice teachers. A longitudinal investigation was used to bring empirical evidence that using such a device has a positive impact on their self-efficacy beliefs. A repeated measures ANOVA was conducted and determined a significant difference in self-efficacy beliefs regarding behaviour management across three time points. The usefulness of the thinking journal was also investigated. Results highlight the supportive aspect of this device in the face of difficult teaching situations as well as important divergences between the perceptions of preservice teachers and those of their trainers.

Authors: Al-Ghifari Muhammad Hafidh , Rizqi Maulana
Published: October 2020

The development of virtual game applications has become an attraction for some people. More specifically, Augmented Reality technology can introduce directly how the atmosphere in a certain location or place, therefore, in this study we tried to create applications that combine the real world with the virtual world. By using the Markerless Augmented Reality method which allows users to use the application anywhere and is not limited by markers. With the Augmented Reality application it also allows users to feel the atmosphere directly in the virtual world. For example, like the Tugu Pahlawan Monument in Surabaya, Augmented Reality technology can be utilized by introducing directly to the public about historical buildings in Surabaya, so that people who have never been there or who have been there by using the Augmented Reality application can immediately feel as if they are located at Tugu Pahlawan, and with a virtual portal it will connect the user’s location with the Tugu Pahlawan Monument and only use a mobile device.

Al igual que Prometeo, que fue encadenado por los dioses después de enseñarles a los hombres lo que era el fuego, así monseñor Germán Guzmán, Orlando Fals Borda y Eduardo Umaña Luna fueron vilipendiados después de decirle al país la verdad: que en sus campos la gente se mataba a machete, que en ellos los niños eran lanzados al aire y recibidos por las bayonetas de los armados, las mujeres eran violadas a veces por dos, tres e incluso cuatro hombres y que todo esto era auspiciado por los partidos Liberal y Conservador.

Why Only Us
Authors: Hauser Marc
Published: October 2020

En este valioso libro, Berwick y Chomsky se ocupan una vez más de la perspectiva biolingüística del lenguaje en donde se lo considera como un objeto particular del mundo biológico. Nuestros autores argumentan que esta versión simplificada de la gramática universal es lo que le habría permitido a los primeros humanos hacer el salto evolutivo de criaturas sin lenguaje a los seres locuaces del Paleolítico Superior, hace unos 40.000 años. Esto, a su vez, habría resultado en la rica explosión cultural no anunciada alrededor de ese tiempo, incluyendo arte rupestre, joyería y entierros rituales. Dicho argumento se sustenta de la siguiente manera: Como nuestra capacidad para la gramática está programada genéticamente, y como ninguna otra especie tiene lenguaje (i.e. Faculty of language), es lógico pensar que el lenguaje surgió de manera “Language, more than anything else, is what makes us human” T.F. bastante repentina, de una sola vez, debido a una mutación aleatoria.

Authors: Rohayati Dedeh
Published: October 2020

This study aimed at 1) analyzing moves of Application Letter written by Agribusiness students; and 2) language used in Application Letter. The study adopted the descriptive research involving   the third semester students at Agribusiness Department of Agriculture Faculty in a Private University in East Priangan, West Java. The selected participants were 18 students who were asked to write Application Letter (solicited letter); and those document texts were analyzed, particularly, in term of the move structure referring to previous study conducted by Bhatia (1993), Henry and Roseberry (2001), Khan & Tin (2012), and Wijayanti (2017), by using quantitative and qualitative descriptive method. Therefore, the present study provided evidence for description of moves in Application Letter written by Agribusiness students. It consisted of fourteen moves: opening salutation, referring to source  information,  stating  reason,  offering candidature,  introducing  candidature,  promoting candidature, offering candidature, glorifying institution, enclosing document, willingness to action, stressing the fact, offering to provide information, thanking, and closing salutation. However, the move structure was weakened by their inability in producing effective and impressive language used in Application Letter; they still need improving in language aspect such as expression, cohesive, coherence, and spelling. This resulted in necessity of an explicit teaching in writing professional   genre   of   Application   Letter   for   Agribusiness   students.   Further   research   is recommended to investigate the related topic in terms of language aspect.Key words: Agribusiness Students, Application Letter, ESP, Moves Analysis
